Nsa. Miss Dix, the eminent philarthropist,
has resigned the Office of superintendent oil

nearly all closed, ard orders for the tual
closing of all at an early day having been
announced. Miss DX's resignation was to

of the varied services she has gratutously

curing the immediate mastering out OF all
women nurses, consequent on the rapid clos

MY DEAR LILLY-Since | heard of your

found time to write to you as had hoped
You have now my dear child, entered upon
a new field, and under Gods blessing upon
which if you look to Him you may COUNT
your future happiness and success Will de-
pend very much upon yourself Do always
what is right, not calculating what is ezpe-
dent, but try and find out what is right, and
with n pure heart and true devotion, 60
straight forward and do it. Be always KIND
and considerate of the feelings and rights OF
others, and you will be very apt to have your
feelings and rights respected. Watch against
impatience of spirit If you keep your heart
always under the dominion of the grace OF
Gods spirit, you will be very apt to have
your own power of self-control complete ana
perfect. That is thing to be cultivated,
aud is the fruit of watchfulness and prayful-
ness. Let it be the business of your life to
strive for large attainments in that way.
1t will be your greatest safety from yourself,
the world, and the devil, and will he shield
and a tower of strength for you.

what the commission he now holds, but sup
pose he has something in the Quartermas

while before this war will be at an end, and
we shall then find field enough for us all to
make a living in, and that we shall in the
mean time practice such economy as shall
enabble us to live through the war.

lines.
Our army is in good spirits and confident

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Following the lead Of the New York
Independent in opposing the Presidents
reconstruction policy, the Chicago Trlb-
une of Friday last comes out against
President johnson. The immediate course
of the Tribune's attack is the Endorsement
by the President of Governor Shafkey's
proclamation calling out the militia OF
Mississippi to preserve peace and order
in that State. 1t has been perfectly plain
for some time past that the Radical wing
of the Republican party. represented by
such papers as the Missouri Democrat
and the two Tribunes published at New
York and Chicago, and President Joha-
son were entering upon condition oil
divergence that must soon culminale IN
the separation Of the Radical and Con
servative wings Of that party-the one
lead by Horace Greedy through the Ne"
York Tribune and the other by tue sue
cesor of Mr.. Lincoln The muLterings OF
the storm have neither been few nor far
between. The Chicago Tribune unable
longer to contain its modification and rage
at it's inability to control the policy OF the
President, and to turn him froop ibis pres
ent national and statesman Ike course,
into the narrow channel of sectionaIlsm
and ostracsm marked out for him by
that paper, has come out fiat footed
against his policy Of reconstruction, and
in such cool manner as be>t to make its
utterance impressive upon the party 1t
rcpresents.- St Louis Press.

on Jefferson Davis, written by Maj Gen

regard. 1t is known that Beaaregafd
and Davis did not agree well together.
In this article Gen. Jordan reveals soma
curious particulars of the hitherto secret
history of the rebellion, and shows bow
often Davis was the marr Of, who, BY his
obsinacy. and his persistent adherence
to his personal friends and relatives, de-
feated the plans OF rebe' Generals Gen
Jordan aims TO show By examples thai
Davis was a man of narrow IDEAS, Of ne
military genius Of foresight, and welded
to petty details TO the exclusion OF large
and comprehensive views; and thai he

dices Of his life

need pay for his kind Of literary labor,
he ought not to add insult to injury by
selecting Harper as a paymaster.

In the South we are beginning a new
life. The great regulator of all things
among us-slavery-has been abolished
never to be restored. The change came
SO suddenly that no man had time to con
template the results or in any way pro-
vide for them. We are very much like
the crew of goodly ship struggling with
storm which they expected to weather.
Suddenly comes along white squall. and
the vessel is thrown on her heam-ends,
and then the business is to know how to
construct RATS, or other means of getting
safely to shore. If the crew get drunk
or sit down in despair, why, Of course
the raft is not constructed, and, presently,
the whole goes to the bottom, and the
ocean absorbs it, and nothing more is
heard of the ship.
The parallel is not literally accurate,
but il has points of resemblance-enough
to show that we can be saved by energy
and observation-disclosures show that every
thing for safety depends on ourselves
that we are now struggling with an ocean
dashed to fury. and that courage and pa
thence are the means by which we must
manage it.

ny the way. we notice that the New
York Herald thinks the present Atlantic
cable, if successfully worked, will he .f
much more Importance to the Old World
than the new, from the changed condition
OF nffairs IN the two countries When-,he
irst cable was laid it ".eerned necessary
that We should know ut the e:rlest moment
what was going on i'll t"e Old World, at it's
courts, on it's exchanges, in its mark..ts.
We desired to understand what was their
policy, what their feeling, towards this
country Of ours in the West. and whether
we were to be to be treated in a frank and
friendly manner, or to BE- the continued sub.
ject Of open. spite or fostering jealousy.
S,fbor'lina'ing ourselves to pnbl'c opinion
abroad, in many respects. we were anxious
to understand it and quickly to receive it,"
Now however, the case is different
News from this SHE will be eagerly looked
for on the other. Our transatlantic friends
will be anxious to know how "reconstruc-
tioD is being effected peaceabIy and har-
moniously; how we are adding to our
wealth, our population, our security; how
our cities are growing, how new States are
being formed, how many millions Of gold
we are producing every mnn,h, aud what
surpus c"tton and cereals we are ready 10
dispose Of to foreign nations. And SO, too. it
will be as anxously inquired when the
Monroe doctrine ia 10 be put in force and
the Austrian Prince sent back to bis own
country. In fact there will be constant
series Of interesting subjects to occupy the
attention Of Europe and European
politicians, and the an>mission of news
from this side will be the chief occupation

notwithstanding all this, every true
American will hail with joy the success If
