The letter to the Secretary of the Navy,
which now stands in the way of
Porter's advancement to the dignity
of Admiral Of the United States navy, was
written for the express purpose of iniuring
General Grant with the administration; and
Mr. WeIles was entirely right in considering
that the only proper place for it was upon
the files of the Navy Department among the
other public Documents and it belonged as
much to the public as any of tke Admiral's
official reports This letter had the effect of
showing mp Admiral Porter in the light of
falsifer, oalumniator, and mean sycophaut.
It required an immense stretch of charity to
believe the assertion of his groveling letter
of apology to the President, in which he said
that he had no recollection of ever having
written the Fort Fisher document, and
that it must have been penned amid
exoitements that scarcely left him respou-
sible for his actions. The general opinion
of the disinterested portion of the public
was that the letter was written with delibe-
rate purpose to injure the General of the
Army and to glorify Porter. Unfortunately,
tho General afterwards became President,
and had the power to confer q coveted Office
upon his slaDderer; and then the would be
Admiral of the Navy laid at the feet of the
''man of circumstances" q mean and abiect
apology that made every high-minded officer
of the navy blush to belong to the same SER
vice with one who could so demean himself
If Admiral Farragut had ever written such q
letter as that which Porter sent to the Secre-
tsry of the Navy after the capture of Fort
Fisher, he would have acknowledged
it like man, and have taken
whatever consequences might be at
tached to its publication. If Porter
had done this he might have preserved his
self-respect and have obtained the Admiralty
also, for the President, after having nomi-
mated him for the position, would not have
dared to withhold his name from the Senate
on account of personal quarrel. President
Grants action in nominating Porter to the
Senate for the Office of Admiral has been re-
presented as one of great magnanimity. We
are wholly unable to see it in that light 1t
is to be presumed that Porter was originally
nominated because the President considered
him fit person on account of his abilities
and services to be the successor of Farragut;
and having once made the nomination, the
President could not withdraw it
without putting himself down to
Porter's level. The letter written by
Porter and his apology for it are,
however, fit subjects for the notice
of the Senate; and if there are any more of
the same kind in existence, we hope that they
will be made public, so as to prove in the
most conclusive manner possible that Porter
ought not to be confirmed as Admiral. In
fact, the Office has now served the end for
which it was created, and it should be
abolished. We therefore call upon Gene
raj Butler to publish the letters ia his
possession, and assure him that a large
majority of the right-thinking men of the
country will thank him for so doing.

BENEFIT OF LAUGHTER.-It is said by
good medical authority that there is not
the remotest corner or little inlet of the
minute blood vessels of the human body
that does not feel some wavelet from the
convulsion occasioned by good hearty
laughter, and also that the central man"
or lite principle is shaken to its innermost
depths, sending new tides of life and
strength to the surface, and thus mate
rally tending to insure good health to the
persons who indulge therein. The blood
moves more rapidly-probably caused by
some chemical or electric modification oc-
fcasioned by the convulsion-and conveys
different impression to all the organs Of
the body as it visits thom on that partic-
ular mystic journey, when the man is
laughing from whatit does at other times.
For this reason every good hearty
laugh in which persons indulge tends to
lengtbon his life, conveying, as it does,
new stimulus to the vital forces. We
doubt not the time will come when ply
sicians, conoeding more Importance than
they now do to the influence of the mind
upon the vital forces of the body, will
prescribe to the torpid and melancholy
patient certain number Of hearty peals
of laughter, to be undergone at stated
periods, and believe that they will, in 80
doing, find the best and most effective
method of producing the required effect
upon the patient. Our advice to all is,
indulge in good, hearty, soulful laughter,
when the opportunity offers, and if you
do not derive material benefit therefrom,
charge as with uttoring false principles OF
ndterid n,edic0.

Low SPIRITS. Ts.-Exercise for tho body,
occupation for the mind, these are the
grand constituents OF health and happi
ness, tho cardinal points upon which ev-
erything turns. Motion seems to be a
great preserving principle of nature to
which inanimate things are subject; for
the winds, waves, the earth itself, are
restless, and tho waving of trees, shrubs
and flowers is known to be an essential
part oflitheir economy. A fixed rule of
taking several hours exercise evory day,
if possible in the opon air, if not under
cover will be almost certain to secnre an
exemption from disease, as we'll as from
attacks of low spirits, on ennui-that
monster who is ever waylaying the rich
and indolent. Low. spirits cannot exist
in tho atmosphere of bodily and mental
activity.

COOP ADVICE TO DYspEpTIcs.-lf man
wishes to get rid of dyspepsia he must
give his stomach and brains less to do. 1t
will be of no service to him to follow any
particular regimen-te live on chaff bread,
or any such sthff-to weigh his food, etc.,
30 long as the brain is in a constant state
of excitement Let that have proper rest,
and the stomach will perform its func-
tiens. But if he pass fourteen or fifteen
hours day in his Office or counting-room,
and take no exercise, his stomach Will in
evitably become panlyzed, and if he puts
nothing into it but cracker day, it will
not digest it. In many cases it is the
brain that is the primary cause. Give that
delicate organ some rest. Leave your bu-
sness behind you when you go to yosr
home. Do not sit down TO your dinner
with your brows knit, and your mind ab-
sorded in casting up interest accounts
Never abridge the usual hours Of sleep.
Take more or less exercise in the open air
every day. Allow yourself some innocent
recreation. Eat moderately, slowly, and
OF what you please-provided it be not the
shovel and tongs. If any particular dish
disagrees with You, however, mover touch
it, or look at it. Do not imagine that you
must live on rye bread nor oat meal por-
ridge; reasonable quantity of nutritious
food is essential to the mind as we'll as the
body. Above all, Danish all thoughts of
the subject. If you have any treatise on
dyspepsia, domestic medicine, ETC.. put
them directly into the fire. If you are
constantly talking and thinking about
dyspepsia, you will surely have it. En-
deavor to forget that you havea stomach.
Keep clear conscience; live temperate
ly, regularly, cleanly be Industrious, too,
but be temperate.-Boston JonrnaI OF

z.IlABoR CoNDuoIYETo LONG 1lIBE-In
viewsof the shoct ;durat lion of life entailed
by some occupations, it must be regarded
as o eonsoling, yea, q sublime fact, that
labor in. general does not tend to shorten
life; but, on the contrary, by strengthen
ing health, lsngthening life; while, on
the other hand idleness and luxury are
productive of: the same results as the most
unhealthy, occupations. DR.. Guy, an
Englishman, in calculating the average
duration Of life of the wealthy classes,
arrived at the very surprising result, with
regard to adults, that the highor their
sosition in the social scale, the more. .un-
limited their means, the less also the
probsbilitysof long life. We have been
80 long accustomed to consider the pos

Iknew man, and he lived In Jones
Which Jones Is county Of rcd hills and stones
And he lived pretty much BY getting Of loans,
And his mules were nothing but akin and bones.
And his hogs we're fat as his oorn bread poues,
And be had about thousand aczes Of lana

He swore that he'd leave them old red hills and stones
For he couldn't make nothin but yellowish cotton,
And little of thnt for his fences were rotten;
Add what little cotton he had that was beughscn,
And he couldn't get living from the land
And the longer he swore tho madder he got,
And he rose and walked to the stable Lot,
And ho followed to Tom to come there and hitch, !,
For to emigrate somewhere where the land was sieh
And TO quit raising cockspurs, thistles aud sioh.
And wasting their timc on barren land
So him and Tom they hitched up their muses
Protesting that folks were mighty big fools
That 'ud stay In Goorgia their lifetime cut -

Get places In Texas where cotton would eprout
By the time you could plant It In the Land
And be drove by house whore man named Brown
Was living not far from the edge Of the town,
And he bantercd Brown for to buy bis place.
And said that seeing as money xas skaNA

And Jones he bought him wagon and tenab
And loaded his corn, and his women and truck.
And moved to Texas, which 1t TUX

To get thore and got him lttle laua.
But Brown moved ont on the old Jones firm,
And he rolled np his breeches and barred his arm,
And he picked all the rocks from off7n the ground,
And ho rooted it up and ploughed It down,
And sowed his corn and wheat in the land
