The President and Gen. Sheridan sus-
tain each other.

Gen. Phil. SHERIDAN always makes hlS
mark, and a strong one too, in whatever he
undertakes His letter to Gen SEDGWIcK,
copied below, his subordinate officer on the
Rio Grande, will create a sensation, not
merely in America, but in Europe. lie
states that it his intention to support the
JUAREz government, as the only Mexican
government recognized by the United
States, against all pretenders, whether they
be Mexicans or foreigners. He does not
hesitate to s,y le MACMILLAN IAN Imperial
buccaneer. General SHERIDAN would not
have proclaimed this extraordinary and
defiant language did lie not know that he
was to be sustained by President JOHNSON.

GESERAL-I am satisfied there is only
one way in which the state OF affairs on the
Rio Grande can be bettered, and that Is by
giving the heartiest support to the only
government in Mexico, recognized by our
own-the only one which Is really, friendly
to the United States You will then tore
warn all adventures of any party or pre-
tended government IN Mexico or IN the
state of Tamaulipas that they will not be
permitted to violate the neutrality laws
between the Liberal government Of Mexico
and the United States, and that they will
not be permitted to remain in our country,
or receive the protection Of our flag, in order
to complete their Vaccinations for the
violation of our neutrality laws.

SOUND TALK-In the Milwaukee .ScRtt-
mel of the 29th, we find the following para
graph:
1T is pit.ful to see men who, six months
ago, denounced Copperhcads as the vilest
reptiles on earth, now in loving fellowship
with them. 1t indicates either bad heart,
a strong stomach, or a weak head. =
The above little item must refer specially
to the Abolition candidates for Office in this
county, for they are now continually but
ton holng and treating the very men whom
they denounced as "copperheads, " draft
sneaks," &c, few months ago. In fact,
they seem to prefer ''copperhead" com
pany to that Of their Abolition brethren,
and it is a common thing to see these hun
cry Office seekers hang on to the coat tails
of these same 'copperheads These fel-
lows will find that while ''copperheads"
have no objection to drinking with them
now, that on the day Of election they will
have moral antipathy" against their
former slandcrers As the Sentinel says,
these Abolition candidates must have bad
hearts" strong stomachs, and weak
heads, in expecting 'copperhead' votes
They won't get them.

night After throwing over her deck load
OF wood, and using other exertions, she was
got off on Monday evening. 1t is a singu-

Identical spot that she was on Saturday
night. This vessel seems determined to
make the little Manitowoc her port of

Cooking Cabbage.

IRON the LynchDurg News.
Cabbage is a capital vegetable, and coming
30 generally into favor that the half heather
practice Of numbering it in cooking, in the
majority of cases, ought to subject the cab
page cook to an indictment for vegetable
slaughter. This dosing into pot of a whole
mead of cabbage, unwashed, unsearehed, un-
cut, boiling half an hour, and serving up half
raw, is an abomination most infamous. A
cabbage head ought always to be thoroughly
washed, then severely searched for lurking
nee bugs, and worms, then cut through from
Tue top towards the stump part, leaving
though to hold the head together-put the
uead into net, and then into steamer,
a anu steam two hours with a piece of nice, fat
Slt pork boiling underneath the steamer.
U va half cooked is an abominable, un-
mnoiesome COW fodder-properly cooked, it is
p"paole, nutritious, and wholesome.

Claimants for the Prize of Virtue.

The claimants for the Monthyon Prize of
Virtue. given every year in Paris are this
year ballet girl and sister of charity
Listen to the life of the Sister:
She is of high family; has left the world
aud all its seductions for life of hardshps
and trial; she is up at O'clock in the summer,
aud S O'clock in the winter, and spends the
whole day at her devotons ard in attendance
on the sick She has begged for the charge
of the contagious ward at the hospital and is
never 10th to perform those Offices from which
Others shrink She has watched the feetng
spirit as it passed away, and comforted the
survivors with sweet words and religious con-
soations. In her leisure moments-for she
finds even time for leisure-she works for the
poor children of the patients, and has clothed
with her own hands more than sixty children,
who, but for her would have run about the
street in rags. By her care are these children
made to attend school and catechisnn; and
thereby in the measure of her intelligence has
saved their immortal souls. For this cause
she is now brought forward by her friends to
receive the reward of virtue, for surely never
was virtue so great as hers,
But wait and listen to the life of the fgu-
rante of the Porte st. Martin:
She is young-but nineteen years of age
very pretty and graceful, OR she would not be
mads to dance in the front row in the ballet
which invariably adorns the third act Of the
gloomy melo-drama of the terrible haunt of
perjury and crime She, teo rises with the
sun, and, after providing for the comfort of
her hed-ridden grandmother and
nended the children's clothes, There are four
younger brothers and sisters, and the mother
has been dead this many long ysar)-she
gets the children up and dispatches them off
to school. She then makes the little lodging
as tidy as possible under the circumstances of
two rooms, tour children, two grown-up
women, one of whom is paralytic, and a
slcky fatherAThen she runs to the rehear-
sal, which takes place in Paris theatres almost
every day.-Wbile there she is busy with the
ohildrens clothes, for she mends and makes
with indefatigable zeal.
The rehearsal over, she returns to prepare
dinner for the family, so that the children
returning from school, and the father return
ing from work may be made comfortable,
Then, again, when all is cleared away, does
her needle fly till the time arrives for the
Performance at the theatre, which generally
lasts till midnight, and wherein she is made
to dance in the ballet, sing in the chorus,
march in the professions, and sometimes fly
IN the air during four hours and a half, at
the expiration of which she is left to return
home, to find the little household fast asleep
and, without word of comfort from those
d to whose happiness her whole life is devoted,
n She sinks upon her lowly pallet praising God
A ior all his mercies, and truly grateful that He
4 should have permitted her to be the prop and
stay of her family, Which of these two gem
erous and great-hearted women will obtain
the reward Of virtue?

baltimore Transcript


The action of the State Central Committees
of Virginia, with reference to the Philadelphia
Convention, will be hailed with satisfaction
by the conservatives of the country. The
gentlemen composing these committees of the
political parties of 1860 are most OF them
prominent and influential members of the
community, and may be regarded as repre-
sentatives of the true public sentiment Of
Virginia at this time. The report adopted at
their meeting is couched in calm and digni-
fed language, pays a just tribute to the desire
of the President to restore the Union of the
States aceo riding to the principles of the Con-
stitution, and in the name and behalf Of the
people Of Virginia, declares that they heartily
sympathize with the law-abiding citizens of
the Northern States in the objects of the pro-
posed Convention, assuring them of their
anxious disposition to cooperate with them
in restoring real peace and the blessings of
Republican government to the country. The
manifestation of such sentiments, and the cleo
ton of dele gates actuated by that spirit, will
have. strong influence for good upon the
public mind. LFTr3 tg7rf-

The Dog DAYS.
From the Lynchburg News. ]


The Sd ,f July is the day fixed in the cal
ender for tlse beginning of dog days and they
terminate the lth of August. The dog days
precede and follow the heliacal rising of the
star Sirius, in the constellation of the Greater
Dog, in the morning, which, in Piny's time,
was the 18th of July. The extreme heat Of
this season Of the year, although the effect of
the continued high position of the sun, was
connected by the ancients with the appear
ance of this star in the morning. They con-
sidered the dog star as raging, and gave to the
time the appellation of dies canicatories. The
liability Of dogs to rabies, in consequence of
the heat of the season, was connected with
the same star, and these animals were butch
cred without mercy. At Argos there was a
dog killing festival. l oat a4@
81 By the procession OF the equinoxes, say the
astronomers the heliacal rising of Sirius in
the morning has been changed to the 18th
of August, and in few thousand years more
it will occur in the depth of winter. Those
happy dogs whose days are to come five or
six thousand years hence will be justified in
charging their star with the appearance of
frost and snow. Sirius is the nearest to us
of any of the fix ed stars, and yet it would
take half million of years for the transmits
sion of a ray of light therefron to this earth,
supposing the light to move at the speed of
cannon ball 1t is rather too far off to be
the cause of a general combustion of the
earth The metsorologsts say that the heat
during dog days eliminates to its maximum
at two o'clock, P. M. This is the hour when
people feel feveri ii and thirsty; when weari-
ness and lassitude take possession of the
frame, and when Che only pleasant or suffer
able place, is "son,e boundess contiguity of
shade" or the cooling precincts of an ice
house, with an CANCEL divinity" bound in
hoops, creating around one gentle zephyrs
from palm-leaf fan, or a turkey wing.
