MANNERS.

Imake it point of morality never to
find fault with another for his manners.
They may be awkward or graceful, blunt
or polite, polished or rustic, care not
what they are, If the man means well
and acts from honest intentions without
occentricity or affectation. All men have
not the advantage of good society, as it
is called, to school them in all the fan
tastic rules or ceremonies, and if there is
any standard of manners it is founded in
reason and good sense, and not upon
those artificial regulations. Manners,
like conversations, should be extGmpora-
neous, and not studied. / always sus-
pect man who meets me with the same
perpetual smile on his face. the same
inclination of the body, and the same
premeditated shake of the hand. Give
me the hearty-it may be the rough
grip of the hand, the careless recognition,
and when occasion requires, the homely
but welcome salutation, "How are you
my old friend?"

5he following interesting table:


fall the men who were once got into
the rebel army were retained during the
war, or during their ability to serve, there
were, according to this calculation, T464,-
600 men in the rebel service at the close
of the war. But, if allowances be. made
for desertion, &C., and for the sick in the
hospitals who have recovered and are not
counted by Gov. Parsons among the dis
abled, we shall find this number of AGA,
600 diminished to something like the ac-
tual number that either surrendered to
our forces or scattered to their homes i'm
mediately after the fall of Richmond. 1t
seems, therefore, from this verifeation of
the solution of the problem. that Govern
or Parsons was not far from the truth,
and that we may have about the proper
allowances in filling up the table,

MHAT The s1lIH WILI WAnT.

North Carolina, the NeWbern Times
says, will, during the present year, want
at least two hundred thousand dollars
worth of plows, and as many more OF the
various implements necessary for success
full farming. To these add one hundred
thousand more for carriages, wagons, &c.
Then II will reouire fifty thousand to sup
plv wooden ware. such as tubs, buckets,
halls. barrels, &c., and fifty thousand
more to supply candles and SOAP. while
two hundred thousand will hardly be suf-
fcient to furnish shoes for the population.
Il thinks the people ought to supply these
articles for themselves, and not be de-
pendent upon other sources; but to do so
requires a still greater expenditure for the
machinery and manufactures to make
them, to say nothing of the skilled labor
required. 1t will take some time yet to
make North Carolina independent of the
North for its manufacturing supplies. In
the meantime, our manufacturers can
study the present wants of that region
and be prepared to supply them.

out of the way of their guns and laid me,
together with wounded comrade and

we were visited by number of persons,
most of whom came, or seemed to come,

Major General Lew. Wallace, who sent to the Rio

expulsion Of consul at MatamorOsb by Masimlan and
the return q rebel dsssFtsEs by Gon..fsai Meja -
The result of the consul is not known II is not

General Slaughter sent note to General Wallace re-
ouesng an interview, which granted and the meet
ing took place at Point Isabel Texas Tho best feeling
existed between the Union and rebel parties and good

The result was that the Clinton bearing colonel Of
