HOW THE YANKEES DO 1T.

| letter from the correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial with Gen. Scho6elds s army,
thus speaks of the transformation of the old
North Carolina city of Newbern:
Newbern: like most places that have been I0ng
in rPossesslon, is mostly populated by North
ern men. Northern merchants have filled its
store-rOOms. Northern mechanics are carrying
on its workshops Northern farmers are tiiline
its sandy acres. Jersey men are raising sweet
potatoes, and cultivating its gardens Maine
men are telling its timbers and sapping its pine
trees. Massachusetts, men are raising cotton
and buying its negroes for substitutes Penn
sylyaua men are here boring for oil and coal
Ohio men are here looking for farms. Connect
icut ladies are here teaching freedmen their let
tiers, and how to read and calculate Yankees
in general are here, teaching the people business
habits at the expense of fortunes-that theU
might haze nude LOngGgo. One Maine man Who
leased 500 acres of timber land tor seven years.
for $3.50, aud who recently sold one deck cargo
of fine lumber for $1,000 assures me that then
are becoming sharp right fast. We asked how
he got such fine timber. My Lord" saws he
Il go way back into the swamps and cut timber
they never dreamed of getting out" How do
you get it out we asked. "Why, easy, with
oxen and few trucks" was his answer. These
people are becoming fully reconciled to their
fate. They hud Northern thrift and enterprise
a profitable thing for them. Those who a few
years ago were mourning over the loss Of their
negroes and their property, nov open their eyes,
aud looking about, Through Yankee cues, sud
denly tiDd themselves well off, and, by little
effort of their own, grown from dependence to
afiuence
Their forests will be cleared, and their sandy
plains that have never produced any of the
Decessaries oflife will soon become fertile farms
Northern enterprise has done for this pleasant
little city what it will do for all this vast coun-
try. 1t has made it prosperous Schools have
been built; the young have been taught: and
the old North State under such administration
will become one of the first in the great sister
hood.

vEsUvIUs AND lErNA.

Letters from Italy are giving glowing and in.
teresting accounts of the eruptions Of Vesuvius
and Rtna, which are taking place Simultaneous
ly, as if the earth was sympathizing with the
revolutionary tendencies Of her human children.
During the night of February g. at the foot Of
the crater formed in 1861, a cone rose, about
fifteen feet in height and twenty feet in di-
ameter, which throws red hot stones to an ele-
vatiOn of abouta mile Severe shocks ale felt
in the surrounding country. Vesuvius and the
surrounding mountain are covered with snow
and the glow of the flames upon it makes an i'm
pressive spectacle. A large party of saUaitS
have left Paris to make observations on lEtna.

ANECDOTE on FARRACUT.

Judge COwles, in an address before the Cham
Der of Commerce in December printed copy
of which accompanies the pamphlet, related the
following anecdote of the Admiral;
Gust previous to the fall of Norfolk Admiral
Farragut, himself Of southern BIRTH as was also
his true and noble wife, was invitedby the eemis-
sares of the insurgent chiefs to join his fortunes
to their cause. He promptly declined. The
effort TO change his purpose was repeated. He
was urged by every consideration that it was
supposed could influence his pride or ambition
by the ties of cOnsanguinity and place of birth
to side with his native South. and still refused.
The rebel chiefs we'll knew the man. They
knew him better than his own government then
did, and then they knew the liOn-like qualities
that slumbered beneath his modest and habitual
retiring demeanor, and the achievements o
which he was capable when the latent powers
of the man should be reused to active energy
As last effort TO win him over to their cause
they offered him any position which be should
be pleased to name. Admiral Farragut is mar
of sincere but unObtrusive piety, piety as mod
| est and unostentatious as is his own hahltua
department; but this assault upon his loyal vir-
tue was more than his nature could endure, and
with sudden and sailor-like burst of indigna-
ton, he replied. as he pointed to the emblem o
| the republic, which fOated near him:-Gentle-
men, your efforts are useless. | tell you would
see every man of you id before ! would raise
my arm against that flag
Norfolk soon fell, and Farragut was warne,
that the south was no place for him. A few
hours only were allowed him for escape with
his family, leaving, as he was compelled tn do
! all his property behind, which was Immediate
ly absorbed by the relentless cOntiscation of the
foe.
"He reached the house of friend, northward
of the Potomac, exclaiming, as he did to bim
Here am without farthing, place where
l can lay my headp
ain this way came Farragut to US OF the North
to the government to which he gave his sllegi
ance, to the flag which he has for the last three
years upheld in many fierce conflicts with
armed treason

AN IMPORTANT pEcIs1oN.

The Secretary of War has decided the soldiers
who have been IN continuous service two years
are entitled OF the United States bounty for one
hundred dollars. 1t has heretofore been the
practice among paymasters to refuse the payment
of this bounty if the parties applying for it had
not served two successive years in the same or
ganizatinn, and, therefore, although man might
have been continuously in the service for two
years, the transfer from one branch of the SER
vice to another, operated TO deprive him of the
bounty. The decision of the Secretary settles
this point, and is, ofcourse retroactive, thus en-
titling discharged soldiers, W no were refused the
bounty, to get it by making the proper spplica-
