early as January IA. There are 1900 bales

ieved the citizens will save it.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-The Herald's Sa-
vannah correspondent says Wade Hampton
has brought his cavalry to South Carolina,
his men begging to be allowed to go there.
This accounts for Lee calling for cavalry
equipments to supply the place of Hamp-
tons cavalry. Lee has also made an appeal.
to Georgia planters for food for his army.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-The Governor of
South Carolina has issued frantic appeal
to the people, and notified all that are able
to bear arms that they must atonce join the
military service or leave the State. The
latter alternative hewill probably take good
care they shall not have the privilege of em-

POLICE CoURr.-There were four cases
before Mayor Thomas yesterday morning.
One of them was that of an unfortunate fe-
male, Susan Wilson, who, for being found
intoxicated on the streets, was fined 81 aud
costs, which being unable to pay, she was
recommitted. Thomas Kennedy and Mi
. chael Burke, for disorderly conduct, were
each fined SO and costs, which they paid.
10 The fourth case was that Of a desperate
named Wm. Nelson, who, the night pre-
ceding, had, without provocation, struck an
old man a severe blow with billy, cutting
a fearful cash in his head. For thisoutbrea1
of fiendisll disposition, the Mayor fined
Nelson $40 and costs, which not being paid,
he was recommitted to the city prison.
But this was not all. Soon after his re-
commitment man from Madison county
called at the prison andrecognized Nelson as
the fellow who had, few nights since, un-
provokedly struck him, while passing along
High street, q violent blow with billy.
After hearing the evidence on this second
charge, the Mayor fined Wilson $50 and
costs, and sentenced him to ten days in the
city prison. He is doubtless candidate for
promotion to some more noted prison than
the calaboose, which he seems to richly de-
Vo.

Louisiana as far as Washita river, and met
with no resistance, the only organized force
of the enemy being Harrison's brigade,
which was beyond Washita. Several steam
ers and an immense quantity of rebel stores
were destroyed, and about 200 prisoners
captured, most of whom were paroled
Scarcely man was lost on our side, and
only few wounded. Many horses were

The ALLEGoRY OF THE REBELLIoN-The
QAtheneum was filled last evening to its ut
most capacity by crowded and admiring
audience. Mr.. j. NJ. Hager's allegorical
exhibition of the rise and progress of the
Great Rebellion is certainly well conceived,
and was lastevening handsomely represent
ed. So numerous are the allegorical repre-
sentations in the strikingly illustrative ia
sbleaux, that we have not space to mention,
much more to describe them. But they are
all grand and imposing, and the young la
dies and gentlemen deserve much credit for
the manner in which they executed thesev-
eral parts assigned them.
The interlocutory portions Of the exhibit
tion were very distinctly pronounced by
the speakers of both sexes but the singing,
which formed the greater part of the vocal
entertainment, was, In general, In excellent
taste and style. Some of our national airs
were given with aagrace and skill not I'M
worthy of professional vocalists.
The exhibition will be repeated this eve
ming, and those who would like to have
presented to the eye as wep aSaddressed- to
the ear, some of the striking scenes and
predominant sentiments in our present civil
war, should attend this exhibition at the

PETRoLEUM.--It is curious how oil is lp-
bricating the wheels even OF lazy legisla-
tion. Whether they will move faster for
the greasipg remains to be tested. Day be-
fore yesterday petroleum resolution was
introduced into the Senate, and a petrole-
um bill into the House. Yesterday, the
. Senate passed bill, which has become a
law, to authorize guardians to lease their
wards lands in certain cases; and this is a
law besmeared with oil, the certain cases"
referring, we understand, to those where
q there is prospect of developing petrole-
um, or In other words, of striking ile."-
But If trade and speculation grow oily, leg
islation must become so, too.

THE, CITY.

,fDAsTARDLY BuRGLARYCA AND RoBBERY.-
On Wednesday night, the 10Th inst, the
room at the Cadwallader House on West
Broad street, occupied by Mr..Reber mem
ber of the House of Representatives from
Plokaway county, was entered while Mr.
Reber was asleep, by thief and burglar,
who slipped his pantaloons from under his
pillow, and distracted from his pocket
book over one hundred dollars, leaving the
pocket-book open, containing draft of six
hundred dollars and other papers in the
pantaloons, near the bed, and the door open
for a space of about three inches. Senator
Mackenzie, of Columbiana county, who oc-
cupied room further from the door, lock-
ed it before he went to bed. Mr.. Suit, Post
master of the House, and Mr.. Lyon, MEM
Der of the House from Jefferson county,
also slept In the same room. These gentle
men may thank their stars that the cow
ardice of the burglar prevented him from
advancing further into the room than Mr..
Reber's bed. Mr.. Ayers, member of the
House from Paulding county, with his
brother-in-law, occupied another room in
the same house, both of whom lost their
watches and some fifty dollars in money OH
the same night, while asleep in their beds.
No clue has been yet discovered, as we
are aware, to the perpetrators ofthese burg
lares and robberies. Our police should
keep sharp eye on West Broad street, as
well as on other localities in the city. The
loss Of Mr.. Reber is peculiarly unfortunate.
Hehad his money by him ready to make
payment on farm he had lately bought,
and Intended to pay it out on Wednesday;
but the gentleman to whom it was due did |
not happen to call forIit. .....,o

To THE LIBERAL.-Let all who believe
the word Of wisdom that the ''liberal man

phans' Home Concert, which takes place on

Fair, which "Opens on Tuesday evening.
Both these charities commend themselves
TO the liberal minded Of all sects and creeds,
and especially to, our own citizens, even to
those whe eifany such there be, regard only
self-interest. The Orphans Home and the
College Hospital are not only benevolent
institutions, but will, If suitably encour-
aged, become both an honor and profit to
our city.

THE CHEERFUL VOICE.

The comfort and happiness of home and home
intercourse, let me here say, depend very much
on the kindly and affectiOnate training of the
voice. Trouble, care and yexation, will and
must, of course, come; but let them not creep in
to our voices. Let only your kindlier and hap
pier feelings be vocal in your homes. Let them
be so if for no other reason than for the little
childreu's sake. These sensitive little beings
are exceedingly susceptible to the tones. Let
us have consideration for them They hear so
much that we have forgotten to hear. For as
we advance in years our life becomes more an
terror. We abstract from outward scenes and
sounds. We think, we reflect, we begin grad
ually to deal with the past, as we have formerly
vividly lived in the present. Our ears grow
deaf to external sound; it is turned inward, and
listens chiefly to the echoes of past voices. We
catch no more ofth merry laugh of children
We her no more the note of the morning Bird
The brook that used to prattle so gayly TO US,
rushes by unheeded, we have forgotten to
hear such things. But little children, remember,
sensitiyely hear them ALL Mark how, at every
sound, the young child starts, and turns, and
listensl And thus, with equal sensitiveness,
does it catch the tones of human voices. How
were it possible that the sharp and hasty word,
the fretful and complaining tone, should not star
tie and pain, even depress the sensitive little
being whose harp of life is SO newly and delic-
ately strung, vibrating even to the gentle breeze
and thrilling sensitively ever TO the tones of
such voices as sweep across it? Let us be kind
and cheerful spoken, then, in our homes.-0Hce

THE l.IrTi,E 1IAkFREss.

An amusing matrimonial story is told of the
olden time in New England ItsO fell out that
young couple became very much smitten
with each other-as young people do. The
young wOman's father was D wealthy Quaker;
the young man was respectable. The father
could stand no such union and resolutely OPP
posed it, and the daughter dare not disObey-
that is to say, she dare not disobey openly. She
'met him by moonlight while she pretended
never to see him; and she pined and wasted in
spite of herself. She was really in love-a state
of sighs and tears which women OfteDer reach in
imagination than reality. Still the father re-
NAMED inexOrable.
Time passed on and the rose ON Mary s dam-
ask cheek passed off She let concealment
like a worm III the bud prey on that damask
cheek, however, but, when her father asked her
why she pined she always told him. The old
man was a widOwer, and loved his daughter
dearly. Had it been a widowed mother who
had Mary in charge, a wOmans pride would
never have given away before the opportunities
of daughter. Men are not, however stubborn
in such matters, and when the father saw that
his daughters heart really set upon the
match he surprised her one day by breathing
out:
"Mary, rather than NOPE to DEATH thee had
better marry, as soon as thee chooses and whom
thee pleases." fE 500 -n
And then what did Mary? Wait till the birds
in the air told her swain of the change, or until
her father had time to alter his mind again?-
Not bitOfit Sheclapped her neat plain bon
net on her head, walked directly to the house of
her intended as the street could carry her. She
walked into the house without knOcking-for
knocking was not then fashionable-and she
found the family Just sitting down to dinner
Some little commotion was exhibited at the
hpraSS in tho Uidow'S cOttauP hut she Needed
it not. John looked up inquiringly. She
walked directly up to him, and took both his
hands in hers.
John" said she, father says may have
thee"
And John got directly up from the dinner
table, and went to the parsons. In Just twenty
five minutes they were man aud wife.

A lust PRINCIPLE.

Occasional" of the Philadelphia Press, ap-
proving the nomination of Major General Cox
for Governor of Ohio, because he is brilliant
civilian and most gallant soldier" expresses
the following sentiment concerning the nomin
alton of soldiers for civil offices:
Whenever Union Convention assemblies,
and brave soldier-especially if he has been
fighting for the old flag-is named as a eandi-
date, and he is qualified by intelligence and
good department, he should be preferred to all
others, and wherever vacancy occurs in pub
lie office, or wherever new appointment is to
be made, if fit soldiers can be obtained, they
should be honored with a confidence which is,
at the same time, substantial recognition of
their bravery"
The Union party of Ohio at its recent State
Convention, carried out that principle; by Sc
lccting four of its nominees from the army and
these the most important ones. And we are
glad to see that in those counties where the I'm
ion party has held its nominating conventions,
the same principle has been recognized. They
can be no stronger claim for any office, than the
claim of the man who has risked his life and
suffered all manner of hardships, for the preser-
vation of free government. In a choice between
civilian and soldier for any office if the SOL
dier is qualified for the position, he should al
ways have the preference, and between two sol
diers candidates for the same position, we would
give the preference to the one who has done the
greatest amount of service and suffered the
most for the cOuntry's cause

STANTON AND SHERMAN.

The Troy Times relates the following anec-
dote of the Rev. J. ID. Fulton, who delivered
the 4th of July Grafton at that place. 1t is Civ
en- on the authority of an Albany editor, and
has not before been in print:
At the second day of the great review in
Washington, when the stalwart army of the
West, who had marched down to the sea" with
Sherman were filing through the streets at
Washington, the climax of the scene centered
at the Presidents stand, where all the civil and
military dignitaries of the land were assembled
to witness the pageant. 1t is well known that
as Sherman approached the Secretary of War,
he refused the latter's proffered hand. AT this
moment Mr.. Fulton was standing a short dis
tance from the spot, with clear space between
him aud the grand stand. In voice, which,
for clearness, has few equals, he thus spoke:
edwin Nj. Stanton savior of your country,
organizer of victory rise up and receive lhe
greetings of your fellow citizens.
Mr. Stanton turned pale, but arose Presi-
dent johnson shook him by hand. So did
Grant. And then the crowd, with a sound like
the rushing Of many waters, gave cheer upon
cheer for the Secretary of War
