Strength In the Right.

During the roar and tumult of a
great battle in Northern Georgia,
while rows of artillery were belching
forth fire and death, and sky and land
trembled to the tumult OF the dread
ful battle. shock, witnesses say
that the little birds flew down from
the tree.tops, and perched them
selves, some upon the shoulders OF
the gunners, and others upon the
very wheels of the cannon. There
they were safe. SO in the rude and
tremendous battle Of life we all need
to he near the great Captain of Sal
vation, and while his lightnings flash
and thunders roll, and arrowy tenn
pests fall upon his foes, we, safe by
his side, can even share in the rap
ture of the strife, and exult in tue
victories he gains. Our own strength
is perfect weakness; but our perfect
weakness is changed into the strength
of ,iJoleIce itself when we walk
with Jesus, and wear his armor, and
ieht with all prayer and supplication
in the spirit.
When a man has been faithful in
the honest performance of his duty
he is thought better oil If success at
tend him in this world. But If it so
happens, in the providence of God,
that these material results do not fol-
low that performance, still he carries
in his own mind the consciousness
that he has tried to do what is right
in the sight of God, rendering to ev-
erybody his due, contributing all he
can to the general happiness and i'm
provement, diFusing as much enjoy
ment and contentment as he can IN
the little circle of which he is the cen
tire; with the consciousness he goes
through life "happy as king though
he may rot be the king ends it in
felicity, and goes where there is an
end of all those controversies, be-
cause there is but one God and one
Father, before whom all his children
are equal.-Chief Justice Chase.

In Peru, South America, rain is
unknown. The coast of Peru IS with
in the region of perpetual south east
trade winds, and though the Peruvian
shores arc on the verge of the South
Sea boiler, yet it never rains there.
The reason is plain. The south east
trade winds in the Atlantic Ocean
first strike the water on the coast Of
Africa. Travelling to the north west
they blow obliquely across the ocean
until they reach the coast of Brazil.
BY this time they are heavily laden
with vapor, which they continue to
bear along across the continent, tie
posting it as they go, and supplying
with it the sources of the Rio dc In
Plata and the southern tributaries of
the Amazon. Finally they reach the
snowcapped Andes, and here is
wrung from them the last particle Of
moisture that very low temperature
can extract. Reaching the summit
of that range, they now tumble down
as cool and dry winds on the Pacific
slopes beyond. Meeting with no
evaporating surface, and no temper
ature colder than that to which they
were subjugated on the mountain
tops, they reach the ocean before
they become charged with fresh
vapor. and before. therefore, they
have any which the Peruvian climate
can extract. Thus we see how the
top of the Andes becomes the reser-
voir from which are supplied the
rivers of Chilli and Peru.--ByunS-

Franklin and his Gig.

1t is now more that century since
Benjamin Franklin, Postmaster Gen
eral of the American Colonies, by ap-
pointment of the Crown, set out IN
his old gig to make an official inspec-
tion OF the principal routes, 1t is
about ninety years since he held the
same office under the authority OF
Congress, and when q small folio,
(stilI preserved in the department at
Washington, containing but three
quires Of paper, lasted us his account
book for two years. Ifa Postmaster
General now were TO undertake tn
pass over all the established routes,
III would take six years of incessant
railr Dad travel Mt the rate of l25
miles daily; while, if he were to
undertake the job in an sold gig he
would require lifetime for its per-
formance. Instead of small folio,
with its three quires Of paper, the
postolllce accounts consume every
two years 5000 Of the largest sized
ledgers, kce ping upwards of a hund
red clerks constantly employed il
recording transactions with NOR,
tlan 10000 contractors and othc
lcrsOnS.

The Old Oaken Bucket.

The "Old Oaken Bu1ket' was
written by Samuel b. Woodwork
while yet he was n journcyman print
or, working in an Office on the corner
of Chambers and Chatham streets,
New York. Near by on Frankfort
street IL drinking house, hept Ny
one Mallory, where Woodwork and
several particular friends used to re-
sort. One afternoon the liquor was
super excellent. Woodworth seemed
inspired by it, for, after taking Il
draught, setting his glass upon the
table, and smacking his lips, he de.
clared that Mallory's eau de uie was
superior to anything that he ever had
tasted.
NO" said Mallory, "you are mis-
taken; there was one which in both
of our estimations far surpassed this
rs drink"
"What was that?' asked Wood
worth, obviously.
"rhe draughts ofpure, fresh spring
water, that we used to drink from
the old oalien bucket that hung in the
well, after our return from the field
on n sultry day in Summer"
The tear drops glistened for a mo
mcnt in Woodworth's eye. "True,
true he replied, and shortly after
quilted the place. He Immediately
returned to the Office, grasped a pen,
and in half IN hour the "Old Oaken
Bucket" one of the most delightful
compositions in our language, was
ready in manuscript, to be cmbalmed
in the memories of succeeding gen
erations.

British humanity aud British Practice.

Accounts received through British
channels, by way OF Halifax, confirm
the statement that upwards of two
thousand insurgent negroes have al.
ready been executed. From a report,
made by the officer in command, it
appears that many had been put to
death without trial or investigation
of any kind, there being, it is cody
added, "no time for such forms. y
During our rebellion, the English jour
nails were filed with indignation arti
ticlcs on the barbarity with which
rebel prisoners were treated by the
North, said barbarity consisting IN
the fact that we invariably sent back
our exchanged prisoners fat and
sleek, instead of lean aud hungry as
they fell into our hands, and that in
no instance was prisoner put TO
death by us unless convicted of
crimes unjustiiablc by the military
code, ard that would have insured
the punishment of death by his own
officers. We could desire no better
commentary on the dishonesty and
injustice Of the course pursued to-
wards us by British statesmen and
journals during the late war, than
the present proceedings Of the Jamai-
ca authorities. Coupled with the
atrocities perpetrated during the In
dian mutiny, they should be sufficient
to shut their mouths forever on
| questions of comparative humanity,
At all events, after such acts, they
will not prevent the world arriving at
the conclusion that, when their pas
sions are aroused and their interests
assailed, there are no people capable
of more dreadful deeds of sayagery
than the so-callcd humanitarians and
philanthropists of Great Iiritain.

Manufacturing in the West,

The following statement of the advanta-
ges Of manufacturing in the West is con-
densed from the Toledo Blade a..
''first-The cost of purchasing and
shipping wool hence to the manufacturers
IN Eastern States including commission, in
surance, freight, sacking, &c, is not less
than ten cents per pound. This, with wool
at nifty cents, the probable average market
price here, is twenty per cent.
Second-lt is well known fact that the
cost OF suosistlng operatives is much less
here than at the east, as most of their nro-
visions are purchased West, and subject. "A
to profits. commission, freight and insura nee
VIII make the cost at least fifty per cent
more east than III the west where these nro.
ducts are raised and purchased from first
hands.
Third-The cloths, when manufactured
are purchased by our western merchants al
the usual profits or commissions, over mann
facturers' prices. which, with FREIGHT .,,,1
Insurance added, cannot be estimated Il
less than twenty five per cent.
In the above it is shown that fortv.fva
per cent. is saved, without adding any saw
ing from the cost of subsisting operatives
which added, would make at least so ner
cent. IN favor of manufactures at the west
One half of this per centaee, added tn the
uiViuehos pald by eastern factories, would
make dividend very pleasant to receive bv
the stockholders at the same time selling
our cloths, for % per cent less than thew
are now purchased"

"The representatives Of the States and the

'their people shall have complied with the
requirements of the Government, shall be-
lin favor of their resuming their former re-

'these States are restored, each having its
representatives ip the National Council so
that We can proclaim peace and good will

In a recent conversation between the
President an a distinguished Representive,
the former said, ''He did not believe that
