DECIDEDLY DISTRESSING.

Mrs. Colonel CASTOR Meares, who
belongs apparently to one of the
First Families of North Carolina, and
is rather ont of luck at present, along
with the rest of that interesting class
of people, writes to the Wilmington
Dispatch to announce the painful fact
that she has lost her fortune, amount
ing to $4,000, by the reputation
of the Confederate State debt, and is
compelled to offer herself as an in
structress in French, and piano and
vocal music. The Chicago Republi-
can, commenting on the matter,
thinks Mrs. Colonel CASTOR Meares
and the Mearses and other First
Families generally, were serve d
about right; and congratulates Mrs.
NJ. ON the possession ofsuch service
able accomplishments as will enable
her to earn an honest living. The
Cincinnati Enquirer finds its feelings
of gallantry considerably narrowed
up by this sort of oflanguage, and goes
so far as to call the Republican man
"an editorial brute" 1t is hard
saying, particularly as there is lady
in the case; but we don't think any
great harm will be done if the Gas.
ton Mearses of both sexes, all oveI
the South, are compelled to work
like other people.

E Young man pay attention.
Don't be a loafer-don't call your
self a loafer-don't keep loafer's
company-don't hang about loafng
places. Better work than sit around
day after day or stand about corners
with your hands in your pockets.
Better for your own health-better
for your own prospects. Bustle
about, if you mean to have anything
to hustle about for. Many poor
physician has obtained real patient
by riding after an imaginary one. A
gulre of blank paper, tied with red
tape, carried under lawyers arm,
may procure him his first case and
make his fortune. Such is the world;
to him that hath shall be given. Quit
dreaming and complaining; keep
busy and mind your chances.

SIGNS OF A PROSPEROUS FAR

We clip from an exchange the ioi-
lowing appropriate observations on
the s.Signs Of 8 successful Farmer,
and we earnestly commend them to
tbe attention Of every thoughtful
reader:
When lights are seen burning IN
his house before the break Of day,
in winter especially, it shows that the
dsy will never break on the breaking
in of adversely.
When you see his barn larger than
his house, it shows that he will haye
large profits and small Affections.
When you see him drive his work
instead of letting his work drive him,
it shows that he will never be driven
from good resolutions, and that he
will certainly work his way to pros
perity.
When you see in his house lamps
for burning lard or grease, instead of
candle sticks, for more expensive
uses, it shows that economy is length
ening his ways to happiness and
plenty with that light which should
enlighten every farmer in the world.
When he has house separate
from the main building, expressly
for ashes, and an iron or tin vessel
to transport them in,- it shows that
he never built his house for funeral
nile for his family, and perhaps for
himself. ;lt
When his hog pen is boarded in
side and out, it shows that he is 60
ing the "whole hog or none,' in
keeping plenty inside his door and
poverty out.
When his sled is safely housed in
summer and his farming implements
covered both winter and summer,
it shows that he viii have a good
house over his head in the summer
of early life, and il the winter of old
age.
When his cattle are properly shiel-
ded and fed in winter, it evinces that
he is acting according to the Scrip
ture, which says ga merciful man is
merciful to his BEAST"
When he is seen subscribing for a
newspaper and paying for it in ad-
vance, it shows that he is speaking
like book respecting the late move
ments in agriculture, and that he
will never get his walking papers to
the land of poverty.

party for Governor OF Ohio, two years ago,
with unieigned reluctance did not seek or
desire 1t, and only accepted, from public duty,
which, in view Of the state Of the country, Il
clearly imposed upon me. l came into Office
with the firm determination that, IL the mili-
tary power Of the rebellion should be broken,
and the war closed during the fifst term OF
my administration, which | confidently antici.
pated, under no circumstances would be a
candidate for reelection. This determination
freely communicated 10 friends During
the past spriog, under pressing importunities
from every part Of the State, allowed this
position to be modified 10 this xtent that

feeling, would not decline it. |, however.
reserved to myself the privilege of following
my original purpose and withdrawing my
name from the canvass whenever, in nv
Judgment, the same should become requisite
to the harmony Of the Convention and the
success Of its nominations.
Many prominent men of the Union organ.
ization will bear me witness, that have fra.
quently urged upon them the conflicts that
would arise from nv denomination. In
times like those through which we have
passed in the last four years, no man who
hiied the position, and honestly and conscien-
tlously discharged the duties of the Office of
Governor of Ohio, could hope TO escape CEN
sure and opposition; or fail to destroy what
politicians term his availability as oandi-
date for re electioa Such was The case with
TWO OF my predecessors, who we're earnest,

avoid the same result and therefore, | made
the reservation aad based 1t upon my
own Judgment Of passing events Even if
desired the position, owe the people OF the
State too much TO embarrass their future ae.
tion for the qualification of my own ambition.

or future, the path Of duty becomes not only
plain, but personally pleasant JE
After careful survey Of oil the surround

Prospective Cabinet Changes.

lHHVbPOSbhbO NabtnOt OuhW8 Cbs
An occasional correspondent of the New
York World, writing from Baltimore June 18th
states that:
1t is learned from Washington, from very
good authority, that very important changes
in the Cabinet will soon be made. The State
Department, the War Department and the
Navy Department will all be filled by gentle.
men Of the Presidents own appointment The
personal relations of the President with the
three present ineumbents are of the most
pleasant nature. But he claims, and will OK.
ereise the right which every President has
enjoyed, to make his own Cabinet appoint.
msnts. The principal objection to Mr.. Stan.
ton is his fixed determination to retain his
military courts for the trial Of o1enders in
civil life, and his army Of provost mArshals,
so as to keep the whole country as much un.
der his authority as possible.
In the case OF Mr.. Seward, it is understood
that pledges have been given by him to the
Emperor Of France, which ha intended 10
good faith should be fulfilled BY the govern.
ment but which are antAgonistc to those
principles Of government BY which Mr. john
son intends that his administration shall be
guided, and which be will, Therefore, repud.
ate Mr.. johnson esteems Mr.. Seward very
highly Bot be would have had change in the
State Department before now, for the reason
that I have just alluded to, had il not been for
the fact of the murderous assault on M. Sew.
ard Mr. Seward will soon resign. Bot il
will only be because OF his inability TO fulfil
the pledges wbish be made to Napoleon. He

THE SLAVE QUESTION IN CoNoRnss.-t Is re-
markable and anomalous that Congress Is oe-
cupying It's time with such questions concern
ing slavery as are embodied in the resolution
Of Senator Wilson, which was debated on
Thursday. The proclamation Of the President,
which he designated "bull against the
comet" IL It has any force at all, has made
every slave in the rebellious States free. Con-
gress fully endorsed that proclamation, and yet
Mr.. Wilson now introduces resolution to make
free the wives and children Of slaves who enlist
In the Union army. The discussion Of this
question by the learned Senators who partici-
patcd in II Is idle and out Of place. These
people are free already, II the Presidents pro-
clamation and its endorsement by Congress are
good for anything. There is only one practi-
col way Of settling this matter, and that is by
Congress adopting the amendment 70 the con-
stitution abolishing slavery altogether. Let
them do that, and the South and the whole
world will believe that they are sincere, and
are not making more party capital out Of the
slavery issue,

supplies asked for ~ the Mayor and citizens Of
Savannah, and, more than this, that auxiliary
contributions will be taken up In all our

one gentleman has already received donation
Of $1,000 in aid Of the measure.
We notice that meeting with the Same COM
mendabls object has been called by the citizens
Of Boston. Let tho contest between these two
cities be an animated one. II the headquarters

TEE ConNo CHANGE IN THE TREASURY De-
pARrNENr.-Both houses Of the Maine Legisa-
turc, It appears, have nominated in caucus Mr..
Fessenden for United States Senator. II may
be assumed, therefore, that the matter Is set
tied, such nomination being equivalent to
an election. When Vice President Hamlin was
in Washington, previous to the meeting OF the
Maine Legislature, 1t is known that he had an
interview with Mr.. Fessenden and his friends,
and no doubt the subject was then finally ar
ranged. II is evident, then, that there will be
a new Secretary Of the Treasury appointed on
the 4th Of March, and in oil probability the
selection will be made from New York.

SUGGESTIVE AND WoRrHY or ArrEvrIoN-Ths
Mayor Of Baltimore, IN his annual messags,
gives very encouraging account Of the hnan-
cial condition Of its municipal affairs. Speaking
Of the good management Of the Commissioners
Of Finance, by which the credit Of the city 70
fully maintained, and Of the various gains they
have made for It by their judicious disposition
Of its property, he says,--" They have also suo-
ceeded in leasing part Of the old fish house
lot for the sum Of $2,025 per annum, payable
quarterly. This is the same property held BY
J. II. Simpson at $4oo per annum, but who has
not paid anything for the last ten yesrs." We
should like to borrow this Baltimore commis-
sion for short time No doubt Thea there are
numerous parties who ore enjoying the use Or
our city property very much In the way %
this Mr.. Simpson. Stalls, fish stands, piers,
vacant lots may doubtless be discovered which,
II properly rented, would bring large income
to the city. We imagine we have good many
Simpsons In New York.
