MoSoroLIEs AND RESTRICTIONS.

Our Government springs from and was
made for the peope-not the people for the
Government. TO them it owes allegiance
from them it must derive its courage strength
and wisdom, But, while the Government is
thus bound to defer to the people, from
whome it derives its existence, it should,
from the very consideration of its origin,
be strong in its power of resistance to the
establishment of inequalities. Monopolies,
pcrpctuitics and class legislation, are con-
trary to the genius Of free government,
and ought not to be allowed. Here, there
is no room for favored classes or monopclics
the principle Of our Government IS that of
equal laws and freedom Of industry

During the skirmish in the little re-
connoisance made by General Steedman

whose guns were unloaded, and de-
manded their surrender. One Of the
Johnics Indignantly refused to surrender
to "d-d niger" "Berry cory

to "rcady;" "but we's in a great hurry
and hain't got no time to send for a

accompanied this remark brought tht

An English Cure for Drunkenness.

An English Cure for Drunkenness.
There is famous prescription in use
in England, for the cure of drunken
ness, by which thousands are said to
have been assisted in recovering them
selves. The receipt came into notorie
ty through the efforts of John Vine
Hall, commander of the Great Eastern
steamship. He had fallen into such
habitual drunkenness, that his most ear
nest efforts to reclaim himself proved
unavailing. at length he sought the
advice Of an eminent physician, who
gave him a prescription which he fol-
lowed faithfully for seven months, and
at the end of that time, had lost all de.
sire for liquor, although he had been
for many years led captive by q most de-
basing appetite. The receipt, which he
afterwards published, and by which 81
many other drunkards have been assist
ed to reform, is as follows: Sulphato o
iron, five grains; magnesia, ten grains
peppermint water eleven drachms; spir
it Of nutmeg, one drachm, twice day
This preparation acts as tonic ant
stimulant and SO partially supplies tn
place of the accustomed liquor, an
vents that absolute physical and mora
prostration that that follows sudde
breaking off from the use Of stimulatin
drinks.

Lieut.. Cushing's Performances.


The most extraordinary and success
ful feat Of personal daring, during the
war, was that Of Lieut.. Cushing, in sink
ing the rebel ram Albermarlr, with .
torpedo. The story that he told Of sink
iug the vessel, when he made his way to
our lines, was incredible, and no one
believed it until the rebel accounts con-
firmed it, Lieut.. Cushing became fa
nous, and has seemed intent ever since
upon keeping up his reputation. The
following is an extract of letter, dated
at Fort Fisher, February IA, and pub
lished in the New York Tribune:
The rising hero of the navy, Lieuten-
ant Cushing, continues to astonish the
rebels, as we'll as our own forces, by his
acts of daring and skill. A few nights
since, in lis "light canoe" he rowed
around and up creek leading from
Falls Inlet to a prcsuming little borough
named Charlotte. This had been the
general depot of supply for the garrison
at Fort Anderson. The dashing Lieu
tenant entered the town late in the
evening-called up the Mayor, summon
ed together the Common Council, and
proposed to give them by daylight Iii
conditions Of capture.
lie ordered breakfast for himself and
staff officers to be ready by o'clock
which was promised by the city god
fathers, who, with the most Cheerful
alacrity had surrendered the town unde
supposition that Cushing had 1000 0
5000 men at his heels. He burned
large warehouse, filed with rebel com
missary stores, loaded some eighty bale
Of cotton on fats lying along shore, ha
his onrsmen float it down to the ocea
waters, when the dashing Lieutenan
/, with cotton prize money in his eye, fol
mally seized it for and in behalf of Il
=, brave tars whom he had induced to al
company him.
On Friday night he rowed up to Wi
mington, circumnavigated all i
wharvcs, boats, &c, and then rowed bac
to his ship, passing all their forts an
batteries entirely unobserved. Aga
on Saturday night he rowed up to Il

The Great Iron ount,iu.


The newly discovered iron mountain
on the North shore of Lake Superior, a I
the Batchewannung Bay, has excited
much interest in Europe as we'll as in
this country. The Detroit Advertiser
states that a powerful company fer de.
voloping and working the mine has been
formed in Boston, to be known as the
Games Iron Manufacturing Company, OF
Lake Superio-, Canada" Arrangeme n Is
have been made to commence operations
in the spring. A railroad Of seven OF
eight miles will connect the mines and
the harbor, and it is expected the road
will be in operation by the lSt of An
gust, when the company will commence
the shipment of ore. The Advertiser
states that two more com mpanies are ia
be formed for operating on the same
tract, and adds:
Not the least important, perhaps, Of
the results of this remarkable discovery
is the impetus which it will give to Can
adian enterprise, insuring the ultimat,
developement Of the resources of the
interesting region skirting the northerr
shore of Lake Superior. 1t has long
been the settled conviction Of scientific
men that this region possessed immens,
wealth in various kinds of minerals. -
The subject is one of deep interest upor
both sides of the line.

APPEARANCE OF THE CITY.
Wilmington is rather a handsome
Southern city, of seven thousand in
habitants. 1t has a more tropical and
less solid air than Norfolk, but is far
ahead of Newbern! It's Town Hall
would do honor to Northern city,
1t also contains many handsome and
imposing Church odi6ccs, and large and
handsome private residences in grcat
numbers. We see the city under un,
favorable auspices to-day. The rebels
during thoir evacuation committed
many acts of violence and lawlessness
Stores have been broken open, and in
many instances every pane of glas
broken.
These stores are empty of goods, tn
rebel soldiers having plundered them
of their contents. The stores on tn,
main thoroughfares suffered most
those located on the less pretcntiou
streets did not suffer, and have well-as
sorted stocks of goods. In many case
lawless citizens joined with the rcbe
soldiers in the pillaging Of stores an
: warehouses. Several we'll attested case
of this kind were reported to the Mayo
to-day. The people are comfortabI
clad, and provisions are by no NEAR
e scarce. We are assured by the best il
: formed here that, before the fall of Fo
Fisher, the arrival Of blockade runner
, averaged one per diem for the past thrc
= years. This illicittrade made Whining
ton the most prosperous city in all re
: eldom.
