That desecrated name belongs only to
the attachments of the finer spirits-the
rare and excellent among our race. A
combination of qualities, on both sides,
is necessary to produce that pret i Jus
and inestimable sentiment. Of real sim
cere affection, many men are not capable;
they have indeed, a sort of attachment
for the things they live among, tie peo-
pie who fill their house and family; that
is, they do not like very well to be with
out them, when they have been accust-
omed to their presence, but that is all
Take them away, and replace them b,


something OF some person else, and you
soon learn to measure the strength oi at


tachment in the ordinary human heart
As for confidence, that is not the attribute
of little mind, especially if tinged with
jealousy Of mind more enlarged and no.
BILE than itself: it loves to keep its own
frivolous plans and ideas secret, for
there seems, indeed, to be sort of in
stinctive dread on the part..of folly to come
into contact with wisdom. Rely upon
it, that man who loves those higher in
the scale of intellect than HIMSELF is a
hero undisclosed by circumstances. Foil,

be flung down on your path cheerful
glow to guide you on to virtue. But
if these wandering stars, reserved, / do
believe for final blackness and darkness,
wheel their malign spheres in the orbit Of
corruption,-go not after them. God is
greater than wicked great men Heaven
is higher than the highest places of ma

brighter than great men or high places,
then you must take part in their doom,

was not openly in favor of administering the
Constitution for the general good. Differences
often arose on questions of revenue and
finance, war and peace with foreigners, but
never before as to the duty of the Government
to protect alike all, under the Constitution.
The result was, that this Government acquired
strength, power and influence among the ma
tions of the earth in shorter period of time
than any other that ever preceded it. The
white wings of our commerce were upon ev-
cry ocean. The broad folds of our flag every
where protected the humblest citizen. We
remember that, but recently, a naughty power
of the old world was compelled, in the sur
render of Martin KoSta, to admit its potency.
1t was enough for him to say, Il am an
AMERICAN citizen" and he was relieved, as
Paul was delivered from scourging, when he
cried out, Il am Roman" In return, the
citizen rendered ready and cheerful assistance
and obedience to the Government that thus
protected him in his rights of personal liberty
and private property-that in a word give
him treedom-not in name only, but in fact.


From thirteen feeble colonies of three mil
lions of people, we became in about eighty
years a mighty nation of thirty-four States
and five Territories, numbering more than
thirty millions of inhabitants Instead of be-
ING confined to the Atlantic seaboard alone,
our dominion was extended from ocean to
ocean. In its diurnal round the sun barely
ceased to shine upon our possessions. The
evening drum had scarcely ceased to beat
upon the far off Pacific coast, when the morn
ING gun would awaken the echoes upon our
extreme east Our wealth had become ex-
ceeding great-perhaps, twelve thousand mil
lions of dollars Education had spread abroad
throughout the land. We had missionaries in
almost every field cf labor. Our influence
was being happily felt in every civilized gov
ernment The down-trodden, everywhere,
were looking to us and rising up and calling
us blessed.


This was the great REsULT-the ripe fruit
of the practical administration of government
in accordance with the CONSTITUTION and
the creed of jefferson.


As the city of Babylon fell, and as Job was
stricken, in the midst Of feasting and rejoic-
ing, so the evil came upon us in the day of
our prosperity. Let us look then for

The prisoners, who capruredl0n Sunday, express

A rumor was current in the city yesterday

Judgment upon its correctness. By the fall OF
this work, however, if the rumor should prove
to be true, New OrlesRs Is by no means left un-

Philip and other defeuses before he can occupy
the city, besides large army of brave and well

The telegraph wires have been in con-

of dispatches across the continent, and Tor
that reason The news sent over yesterday

any of the particulars of the capture OF
Manassas. though some of the details Will
probably be in the Union of tonight.


Some important information. of favor

but at the time Of writing this, we were not
able to get any definite information as to
what il was. We believe some important
city has been taken by the Federals, but
whether 1t is Richmond, Charleston, Savan-
nah, New Orleans, or some other, we could
not learn.


The capture of Manassas, however, is an
event Of sufficient importance to crafty the

If the victory is properly followed up, as we

allied forces and make another stand some

as they cannot now hope for the aid OF any

E The mortality among the rebels at
Bowling Green Was awful. The best informed
Inhabitants there are confident that between
three and four thousand soldiers we're buried
in that vicinity, though great numbers of the
sick were sent to Nashville. The: dead were
so carelessly buried, that the stencil arising
from the grave yards is horrible, and com
mittee has waited on the Kentucky Legisla-

port what can be done to avert a pestilence.

Next to mothers young women have the
greatest agency in forming the characters
of the other sex. Their influence com.
mences at period when it is most needed.
Young men, although their characters are
in a great measure formed, require some
powerful restraints, just at the time when
they are becoming acquainted with the
world, and beginning to move beyond the
inspection Of the mothers eye. Young
women with whom they associate are the
guardian Of their virtues, and accountable
for the most Of the evil practices into
which they fall. 1t requires but little OBJ.
servation to see that mutitudes Of young
men, who are destitute of religious prin-
cipe, pursue that line Of conduct which is
most likely to meet the views of the wo
men with whom they associate, and whose
appreciation they desire. There is not a
prevalent vice among them that would not
be given up, were it reprobated, and the
perpetrators avoided by the young. the
fashionable OF the other sex.


None but the most hardened blasphemer
will utter an oath in the presence of a res
pectable woman. If the omission to do
good or to prevent evil. when in one
power, be crime, what a tremendous
account we have to render on the score of
profaneness, gambling, smoking and chew
ing tobacco These practices. which dis
turb the peace of society, mar the ha oni'
ness Of families, hurry multitudes to death
and perdi,ion. and must ultimately call
down the Indignation of heaven on our
guilty race, might be greatly, if no. en-
tirely extermina,ed, by vigorous and iu.
dicious effort on the part of woman. Let
such practices be uniformly mentioned in
terms Of reproba,ion, and let US avoid
those who pursue them as We would the
midnight assassin, or the great adversary
Of God and man.
