Particulars of the COrean War adventure.

PARTICULARS Oh the COredn war Adventure.
The New York papers of the 22d give the
GLOWING relative to the Corean trouble /:
The story of the fight is very simple. On
The 10th of June six hundreI men landed
IN the Island of Kionghia, and, with very
little opposition, captured marine re-
ioubt. They then encamped for the
night. Next morning they slowly made
heir way through swamp, painfully
lragging heavy howitzers through mud
foot deep, until they reached and, with
out resistance, took Fort Monocacy. The
and was broken up into little hills, and it
was only with extreme difficulty that the
guns were drawn over the ground. At the
asst elbow-or, as it is now christened,
Mckee, in honor of Lieutenant McKee-a
fort was gained The Coreans made a des-
perate resistance, and displayed cool cour-
age, which is one of the few noble traits Of
an Oriental driven to bay but their weap-
ons were almost harmless, and, with q
rush and a cheer, the avengers of our
murdered countrymen scrambled over the
works. The Acknowledged barbarians eth
er fled or surrendered. Our death-list in
this brief but brilliant engagement is COM
parativeIy small, and we have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that our men showed the
spirit and pluck of American blood.
But it looks now as if England and Prus-
STA will have to take hand in the matter.
Two Englishmen and one German were
seized and carried off by the Coreans into
the county. One thing is certain, that if
England does not find out what has become
of her subjects, Germany will, and that,
after all, perhaps, some other nation will
finish what America has commenced.

OLD VS.. New SEED WHEAT.-We have

old gave rather the best yield. My expert

an influence in the same direction 1t has
been well remarked great proportion of hol-

cases, it will be found both practicable and
appropriate to combine the useful and the
agreeable in gifts of this kind. A good pocket
knife is much more acceptable to boy than
painted toy that is good for nothing and
goes to nothing in very short time. A pair
of mittens is better than a puzzle-not but
that the latter may not well 60 with the for

And so-and much oftener-may the same
principle be carried out in choosing presents
for grown folks. The elegant and the grace

beauty that also sis joy forever''-like the
article that wears well or subserves some per-
manent use-is always to be preferred. And,
as we have said, the cold winter upon which
we are entering, and the suffering which is
dependent upon our bounty, are certainly
well calculated to guide us in our choice. Inc

If the latter founded, Lincoln saved the repub-
ic, and more than any other man made it a
nation. In saying this we do not overlook
the services of the civil coadjutors, some Of
whom-Stanton for example-have not had
justice done them in Europe; nor do we for
get the labors of Grant, Sheman and Sheri-
dan, or of Farragut and Porter, whose high
qualities were illustrated during every phase
of the war. But the most original and per-
haps the loftiest character brought to light by
the conflict, was that of the steadfast presi-
dent who died so tragically just as the victory
was won, and as the peace he sighed for
dawned upon the troubled land.

"A cynical writer says that marriage in

Shvering homeward drives the cowses;
His boots are old, and torn his clothes is,
And, bless my soul, how blue his nosei is.
