Commerce, In its true sense, Is not merely
the interchange Of commodities between
different countries, but should be an interna-
tionaI trade restricted to those articles
which each country requires and cannot
produce for itself.
When our nation accepts the fallacious
Dositien of receiving from another what it
could furnish for itself, it is partially sublee-
ting itself, to that foreign authority. Such
control exercised over the manufactures of a
country is a money supremacy more difficult
to throw off than the tyranny OF king, and
IS, In some respects, almost as injurious TO
the real independence OF people, as a con
quest by foreign armies.
The doctrine has been freely accepted that
every nation should be sufficient 70 Itself
politically; and it is Just as true that, indus
trially, every country is IN duty bound e
render itselfas independent as circumstances
Of soil and climate viii permit.
In the natural and legitimate course oi
trade, the commerce of the United States
tends toward countries lying to the north
land south which would supply her defelen-
/ eies, and especially with those tropical coun-
| tries which are blessed with superabun
/ dant vegetation, and whose people have nc
/ tendency toward manufacturing employ
ments Ne Should be weaving woolen
goods for our Northern neighbors IN return
1sfor their furs and sending quantities of linen
/ and cotton fabrics to such countries as have
/ only tropic woods and fruits to export.
The trade with the manufacturing coun
/ tries-that is, in fact, with those which com
pete with our own workmen, in our OWL
l glnarket-laas always been considered of fespe-
cial Importance These nations are the Brit
/ ish and French possessions in Europe, the
various divisions Of Germany, together witt
/ Belgium and Holland, which furnish US pre-
/ eisely those articles which a wise Legislation
would allow US to make foroarselyes. Ii il

The Portland Petroleum oomnan;es.


There are two of these companies organized
in this city, one under charter of our own
Legislature, of which John E. Donnell, ESQ.,,
is President, having its operative location in
the southwestern corner Of New York Stale !;
and the other, the one of which Allen Haines,
Esq,is President, organized under New York
authority. and which is operating in Cherry
Run, in Penn. We have no interest in either;
we know nothing of either, personally. We
have no prejudices for or against either. We
should be unwilling to believe either of the
gentlemen named above would lend his name
to an imposition, though either or both of them
may be deceived, and, being deceived, mis-
lead others. OF this we know nothing.
We are happy to say, however, that from
gentlemen connected with both companies,
we have received personal COMMUNICATION of
the advice given in the "Press" Tuesday, in
answer to Oxford" They both say to us,
that, while they hope for success, they would
not advise any man to invest money, the loss
of which would impair his credit, or distress
himself or. family. This is fair and honorable
and we hope none of these classes will be
prompted to put their money into any preca-
rious speculations. Let those who are able 10
do so invest: none others. 4

A Rainy Day.

sit at the window-just invalid enough to
fold my hands without seeming idle, and not
i'll enough to keep myself away from my ia
vorite seat--and watch the forms and faces
that go by, and amuse myself by imagining
something about them all. That tall, naughty
looking girl who just looked up and nodded
to me as she passed, is sewing girl, working
early and late, not merely for the bread Of
life, but for the more indispensable articles
which go to make up lady's dress. She is a
good seamstress, and would once have thought
the wages she now receives a small fortune,
but she has changed since she came from her
country home, and apes the fashionables with
untiring zeal. o, Madge, Madge Lee, nothing
can compensate for the loss of the sweet meek
ness that once accompanied your beautiful
face. Ia j. Az w k41G( 4
Here comes dainty little miss, tripping
along under cover of a great umbrella held
protectingly over her by the stalwart youth
at her side. How gracefully she holds up her
dress to keep it from the pavement, and how
adroitly she displays those white and shapely
ankles and delicate little CATERS with the light
rubbers not half stout enough to 60 through
this mud. But no matterl Admiring eyes
rest upon the dainty feet, fitting in and cut
and perhaps it is praise of them that sends
that glow tingling along her face. & a
Pouring down merriiy, the rain falls on the
unprotected forms of two girls walking along
together, workers, l know, for they go by ev-
cry morning at this hour, and often notice
their quiet, sad faces. Close behind them walks
a spruce young gent, looking terribly vexed
about something-the weather, doubtless
and holding his black silk umbrella daintily In
his little gloyed hand. Hurrying past him, q
fat, good natured looking Irishman steps upon
his foot, eliciting almost a shrek from our ex
quisite He stops and apologies in his kindly
laundering way but the young man pays nc
attention, and Pat goes along muttering, "Ah
but he's gintleman." Perhaps Pat dom
know what troublesome corns Exquisite ma,
have inside those small, well-shapen boots.
There is one more face that calls our atten
tion-a fat, good natured face, with a Kindly
smile graduating it as it is uplifted toward my
window. There, she is coming up the stairs
and know that her cheering words will moi
be thrown away. She always leaves hearts
warmer and lighter for her presence. 1t /:

Gallantry in the Battle of Friday.
NEWBERN. N. c.. Mar


NEwBERN, N. c., March IS.
Large numbers OF refugees came into our
lines this afternoon. They say the enemy has
evacuated both Geldsboro and Raleigh, and
have fallen back to Hillsboro with the view,
they think, of joining Lee. They report the
enemy much demoralized and panic stricken,
and improving every opportunity to desert.
That the 1ebet soldiers agree with the citizens
generally in the belief that there is no chance
Tor the Confederacy to succeed, and that they
are fighting against hope that the rebel off,
GERS are giving their opinions openly to the
same effect; and in lnauy cases they abandon
the field Will their men, and that these deser-
tions are in such formidable bodies and so
open and frequent that the enemy are power
less to oppose this state of things, which
threatens to result in a general stampede of
their entire army, SO completely discouraged
are their officers and men. They also report
that Sherman will occupy Goldsboro' to-mor-
row, that his army is in fine spirits, well fed,
and drive the rebels in confusion at every
point. Such are concurrent reports brought
in this afternoon by these refugees, and they
are generally credited here a.. -
The enemy after burning their ram, aban-
doned Kinston in great haste, throwing all
their heavy guns into the Neuse River. They
attempted to blow up their magazine, which
contained several tons of powder, but Jailed,
and 1t fell into our hands, together with a large
amount of ordnance and commissary stores.
Our forces now occupy Kinston, which was
surrendered to them by the Mayor of the city.
deserter who came in from the rebels the
other day, says the rebel General Hoke was
killed in the battle of Friday week. a2oSsE +
1t is reported that Bragg had 10000 men
with him when he attempted to destroy the
column that moved from here. wea
Bragg and Hoke gave their men the most
solemn assuranc that they would march
triumphs ntly into Newbern last Sunday morn
ing, and that each man should realize for
tune from the proceeds of the victory, aud
that Sherman would then be annihilated and
the confederacy established beyond doubt.
The loss of Fridays battle was the irretriev-
able ruin OF the enemy's plans against Sher-
man. The manner in which our men success
fully resisted from behind their works the
eight repeated assaults Of the enemy who at
that time greatly outnumbered us, not only
astonished our own officers, but elected a
high tribute to their courage from Gen. Bragg.
This battle made it very apparent that Bragg's
men could not be induced to make another
stand. - s9gs aha s64fiisida s5 ssosi.

A narrative of the actual experience of a SOL
der must usually have an interest exceeding
that of the most skilfully constructed fiction;
and this little volume will not be found an ex-
ception to the rule. It contains many interest
ing facts, much stirring incident, and some
pages of lively description. Some generals and
Others high in authority, are handled with very
little ceremony, and on the whole the book may
be taken as fair exposition of the way military
life looks from the standpoint of the regimental
