The Great Emigration Scheme.

The plan which has excited so much
attention all over the country OF re-
heying the Northeastern States Of q
part of their superintendent female
population, and transporting them to
Washington Territory in hearcA OF
homes and husbands. is said to be a
failure. A variety of causes seem to
have initiated against the enterprise
The Government ship which had been
expected was refused, and the agent
had TO bay a vessel-the Continental.
Miss Anna L. Dickinson used the
weight of her influence to deter the
girls from going, and many of them
took her advice On Tuesday after
noon she left New York harbor on her
long voyage to the North Pacific coast.
About % passengers go with her, IS
of whom were women Last August
the prospect bid fair tor cargo OF a
thousand, but all gave mp except the
few that went with the vessel.
The Journey, which will be entirely
by sea, no doubt will prove quite an
agreeable one after the first ea-sick
ness shall have been conquered. The
summer season south of the equator,
with its long days and moonlit nights,
the scenery in the Straits of Magellan,
the opportunity to visit Rio Jeneiro,
Valparaiso and San Francisco, togeth-
er with the library, which has been
furnished for the use Of the passen-
gers, will tend to make the expedition
while en- route, both entertaining and
instructive.
The adventuresses are now on their
way; but what hopes are throbblng,
what fears beating III their hearts can
not be told. What awaits them after
they shall have reached Seattle Will
be developed only by Time, ;he Edipes
that reads all riddles; but, since they
have departed, we can only wish them
smooth seas, placid skies, kindly stars,
and unbounded success.

Fish STORY. When the ship Milton,
OF New Bedford. commanded by Capt.
Halsey, Of Bridgehampton, was cruis-
ing III the Northeast Gulf for whales,
they discovered n large one which, in
spouting, produced n whistling sound
from one OF the air holes similar to
that made by steam whistle. Chase
was given, and two harpoons aud Il
bomb lance through his liver ended
his career. When the order was CIV
en- to cut off his head, the man who
engaged in this duty placed his feet in
the spout holes, and in doing so one
of them was cut. Upon examination
it was found that the monster had a
harpoon blade in his head, running
transversely though the spout hole, so
as TO produce the whistling sound
which had drawn attention to him up
on his discovery. The name of Cen
trail America was on the blade 1t
was ascertained that this vessels last
voyage took place some fourteen years
previous to the capture, so that the
blade had, in all probability, been inn
bedded in the animals head during
this period at least. To confirm this
opinion the shaft was found to be cat
en- off by rust, nothing but the blade
being left The whale afforded his
captors $50 barrels of oil.

Roueu TINES IN TENNESSEE -- "When
we were at Nashville, seven years ago.
anecdotes of the GOODNESS and courage
of Governor johnson were among the
current coin of conversation. Ono
gentleman, a political opponent of the
Governor. an eyewitness OF the occur
renee, told us that placord was post
ed in the town one morning anuounc-
ing, in the well-known language Of old
Tennessee. that Andy johnson was to

Another eye witness related a sim

to speak on one tne exciting Qucs-

were uttered that If lac dared to fp-

cended the platform, and, advancing
TO the desk, laid his pistol upon it..
lie then addressed the audience in
terms as near like the following as our
informant could rcoollect.

Here he paused, with his right hand
on his pistol and the other holding
open his coat, while with his eyes he
blandly surveyed the assembly. After
pause of half a minute he resumed:

been misintormed. l will now pro

THE LESG1H or THE WAR. The Lon
don Times credits Gen. Grant with
the conception Of attacking the rebels
simultaneously on every side, and thus
preventing their massing troops on
whatever point was assailed 10y ms,
and SO showing a numerical superior
ity on the point OF collision, while
weaker everywhere else. Now, this
very obvious conception impelled Pres
ident Lincoln's "War Order No. l"
issued in January, 1862, and prompt
ed tho telling expeditions OF Burnside
and Butler then set in motion. The
difficulty was that such Generals as
Mcclellan, Buell. and Halleck c0dint
do as they were bid The Confedera-
cy might as easily have been crushed
in the Spring of 1862 as in that OF
1865. All that was needed was the
simultaneous, resolutc, determined adj
vance then ordered But most of our
then military leaders were either faint
hearted or faise-hearted, SO that a
brush fence and 10000 men behind it
would stop one Of them az the head of
1000 and hold him paralyzcd for q
month or SO. OF corfSe no good came

INFLUENCE on AFFECTION. There is a
good deal Of canting about involunta-
ry affection in the world, and all that;
but young lady should never let
such foolish notions enter her head.
She should allow the pride of CON
seious strength of mind 10 keep
her above every foolish vain and
nonsensical preference towards this
precious Top, and that idle attendant
on a lady's Will. She should lay it up
III her heart as an immutable princi-
pie that no love can last il not based
upon right and calm estimation of
good qualities OF at least, that if the
object upon which it is layished be
not one whose heart and whose head
are both right, misery will surely be
her portion. A sudden preference for
4 stranger is very doubtful kind of
preference, and the lady who allows
herself to be betrayed into such silly
kind of affection, without knowing a
word Of the mans character or his po-
sition is guilty ot indiscretion which
not only reflects unfavorably upon her
good sense, but argues badly for the
nature and ground work Of that aifec-
ton.

WEALTH AND HAPPINESS. The insult
iiciency of mere wealth alone to con-
fer happiness, is strikingly illustrated
in the life OF Nathan Myers Roths-
child, the jew, who died III London
some thirty or forty years ago, one of
the most devoted worshipers that ever
laid withercd soul on the altar of
Mammon
For years ho welded the purse of
the world, opening it and closing it to
kings and emperors as he listed; and.
upon certain occasions, was supposed
to have more influence in Great Brit
ain than the proudest and wealthiest
of its mobiles perhaps more influence
than the houses of parliament taken
together. He once purchased bills OF
the government, in single day, TO
the amount of $4,000, 600; and, with
the profits on single loan, purchased
an estate ut the cost of 100000
Yet, with all his colossal wealth, he
was miserable man; and, with sor-
rowful earnestness, once exclaimed to
a gentleman who was congratulating
him on the gorgeous magni6ccnce of
his palatial mansion, and thence in
ferring that he was happy Happy !

PRoGREss or RETIREMENT The 9th
er day, on looking over marriages in
q Boston paper, we observed that
the names OF all the brides in tho
list were made to end with ic, and not
one of said names WAS Il proper one,
according to old-lashioned notions,
but were nicknames, OF baby names,
in conformity with the refined" tastes
of the day. There were Carrie, Mag
gle, Susie, Lizzie, and, last Of all, Mol
lie, which last, we suppose, is a cor
ruption of the beautiful name of Mary,
for which the anathema of the Virgin
Mary, if she ever pronounees any,
ought to fall on those who display
such refined shallowness.
Judging from the progress in this
line which we have been forced to wit
ness i'll the past, we may calculate IN
q few years, at the longest, that all
the pretty names of women which
have stood prominent for centuries in
English literature, will be banished
entirely from the fashionable parts of
it. Mechanics are not applied to the
male sex yet, to much extent, but, if
things progress, the probabilities are
that ere long we shall see the mar
riaee of Mr. Bubble Jones and Miss
Sissie Smith.

After FIVE yeas OF unayailing stug-

who reads a paper could have edited

Not .unfreQuently is it the case that an
editor looks all over his exchange pa
pers for something interesting, and
can absolutely find nothing. Every
paper is dryer than contribution

His paper must come out with some
thing init, and he does the best he can.
To an editor who has the least care
about what he selects, the writing he
has to do Is the easiest part of his la

is nothing in it that suits him, it must

Dxg- The wife of Garabaldi was a
woman of extraordinary daring ana
bravery. A short time after their
marriage she went through an engage
ment at sea with her husband, refus-
ing to go ashore, aud during the fight
would stay nowhere but on deck,
where she welded carbine and
cheered the men. In the heat of the
battle she was standing on deck, flour
ishing sabre, and inspiring the men
to deeds OF yalor, when she was
knocked down by the wind of Il can
non-ball that killed two men by her
side. Garabaldi was sprlnging for
ward to her thinking that he would
find her corpse when she rose TO
her feet. covered with the blood of the
men who had fallen close 10 her, but
quite unhurt. He begged her to go
