FORTRESS MosRoE, Dec. 20, 1s65.--Mrs
Clay is still here, and there are no indica-
lions of her visits 10 her husband being
brought to a speedy close. She remained
with her husband tin nine O'Clock last even
ing, and this morning without stopping to
take breakfast at thehotel rejeined him again
in his prison apartment in Carroll Hall and
it is IA apartment with little of the rough and
stern features of prison about it-no pom.
derous prison bars and damp walls and
scanty and unwh olesome food, and rude lynx
eyed jailor.
His is snug, cosy room, and the same de-
scription is applicable to that occupied by
Jeff. Davis, with cheerful appointments of
furniture and CHEEKY fire in an opes CRATE,
and books Of varied range--bistorical, BIZ.
ographical and all the departments Of bellies
lettres, poetry, fiction and the fine arts
Thus far Mrs. Clay has taken her meals with
her husband, and however epicurean and fas.
tidious her tastes, l will guarantee she has
no occasion to find fault with the prison
cuisine as developed in the meals served to
her husband. This restriction is placed on
her visits officer is present all the time.
Thus far this rather disagreeabIe duty of
forming the third party has devolved on
Capt. Hitchcock, provost marshal.

Election ias Vest Iirgini0.

That portion of the State of West Vir-
ginia, aptly described by Gov. Wise, as
the "bastard-child ofpolitical rapine,"
went through the farce of an election
on Thursday last. Where Radicals
make laws and have power to enforce
them there can never be any doubt Of
the result of elections. Their system
provides for the exclusion from the
right of suffrage of all except Radicals
Constitutions and laws to the contrary
Notwithstanding. At some points they
allowed hardly enough Of the opposition
to vote to give color to their fraud.
Boarman is reelected Governor and,
from the Cd District, B. M. Kitchen, of
Berkeley, has been sent to Congress.
In old days, when intelligence, honesty
and capacity were considered qualified
tons for high political honofs, this man
Kitchen would never have been dream
ed of. He is very ignorant, and will
find great difficulty in ranking his doc
uments, as writing is a branch of edrca-
ton he has never cultivated to any
great extent During the war Kitchen
took an oath to support the Confederacy,
but excuses himself on the ground that
it was necessary to save some property.

Facts North Remembering.

"Gosmos'' in the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post, gives the following
facts worth remembering:
It is worth while, for all farmers, eve
rywhere to remember that thorough
culture is better than three mortgages
on his farm.
That an offensive war against weeds
is five times less expensive than a de-
fensive one.
That good fences always pay better
than lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is a great deal cheaper made
in the summer than purchased IN the
winter.
That a horse who lays his ears back,
and looks tightening when any one APP
proaehes him, is vicious. Don't buy.
That scrimping the feed Of fattening
hoes is a waste of grain.
That over-fed fowls wont lay eggs.
That educating children is money
lent al Il hundred per cent.
That one evening spent at home in
study, is more profitable than ten louns-
ing about country taverns.

E'if0gy on Engineers.

"Brick Pomeroy," of the La Crosse
Dc0l0cyWt, thus diseourseth concerning
the railroad engineer:
The engineer stands at his post, his
eye closely scanning the rails ahead to
see that all are right-his hand holding
Oh the iron bar which stops, starts and
regulates the monster that is obedient to
the slightest touch of genius and skill.
In the hollow Of that mans hand-in
the glance of his eye-in the brain
under the cap pulled so closely down.
in the perfection of his knowledge and
the careful scrutiny of his mechanical
eye-are the lives OF men and women,
whose places on earth could not well be
flied. See how steadily the train runs.
1t makes this mile post, and the next,
and the next. on time to the minute
The engineer looks at the track--at the
time table held in a clamp before him
at the clock on the engine-at the steam
gauge on his left hand. He touches the
lever; we run faster or slower as he
wills; and the train stops at station
after station to the second. The fire
man opens the iron door by a chain; nc
swings it back, and into a red-hot, roar
ing, suffocating, livid, pent-up edition
of Hades tho fuel is tossed, and "clank'
goes the door as the heat increases, and
the steam is made, by whose power we
rush ahead. We love the engineer-the
monarch of the footboard." His hands
are hard. his pants soilea, his face moist
with sweat; but il is his care which
bears thousands in safety, and his skill
Which makes us feel as sateon the Cow
catcher as in our sanetum.
God bless and preserve the engineer !!
On all the pages of history there are no
Drawer records than those made by rail
rord engineers. We once heard the
whistle of an engineer at Des Jardin's
Bridge, when, with hand on the scream
ing whistle, he sounded the alarm and
whistled himself down forty feet into
the murky waters, and into heaven;
never DESERVING his post in the plunge
which was fatal to siXty-three out OF
eighty-one souls. He was found at the
bottom of the river, his hand firmly
holding the lever-his compressed lips
telling the story Of his death We have
heard him again and again we have
stood by him on the engine III the hour,
Of sudden danger and seen how a brave
man would act when death reached Out
his bony hand as we Whirled past the
door of eternity, so widely opened that
we could almost hear the voice of those
within. We have seen engineers in
danger scores of times, but we have
never yet saw one desert his post. To
the noble ones who have died in their
duty and their glory--to each of these
we sound our whistle three times, for
Cali hail thou noble man ~

Kendall, the formerly well-known
editor of the New Orleans Picoy,uae, is
now in Paris, and writes to that paper
~ stumbled upon George N. Sanders,
yesterday. His hair is as long and as
bushy as of old, his countenance as mild
and as placid as though the cards were
running in his favor. If he has been
gagged at all in Paris, it has been with
good living. He gets enough to cat in
Paris, does George-probably three
meals a day. He speaks we'll of Hor-
ace Greely-much better than he does
of other folks l could mention. He
talks of going to Russia, but on what
mission ! can not say. He will always
find friends, go where he will.

and many ofour Southern people here;

WADE HAMPTON ON THE CRISIS
The followil g is the concluding portion
of the speech of Wade Hampton, dcliv-
cred before the "Soldiers' Association
at Walhalla, S. c., Oh the ODD ultimo:
The essential points, then in the poll
cy we should pursue, are, it appears to
me, these: That we should fulfill all
the obligations we have entered into, to
the letter. keeping our faith SO clear that
no shadow of dishOnor can fall on us;
that we should sustain Mr.. johnson
cordially in his policy, giving our sup
port to that party which rallies around
him; that we should yield full obedi-
ence to the laws Of the land, reserving
to ourselves at the same time the ina
lienable right of freedom ofspeech and
of opinion; an,. that, as to the great
question which so materially affected
our interests, the abolition of slavery,
we should declare it settled forever
Pursue this course steadily; bear with
patience and dignity those evils which
are pressing heavily on You. Commit
yourselves to the guidance OF God, and
whatever may be your fate you viii
be able to face the future without self-re-
proach."
