O.v* of the main causes of our ill-success in this
war has been {hat we have made it, at the earnest
rf quest of Southern Unionists, a war of oeoupa
rion. rather than of coups dc prims, for the re
establishment cf tho Union and the supremacy of
our laws in the Southern States. With our im
mense forces, we might occupy whole States, and
yet not crush the rebellion; and the rebels, con
tinually gaining strength within their little terri
tory. could harass our armies, until, one after
another, they are forced to fallback. For the sake
of business interests in the West, we pre
pared a grand plan for opening the Missis
sippi river, and after fairly opening it, we
found we had not troops enough in the
field to ooenpy tho territory virtually in our
possession—the rebellion was growing upon us, and
we bad done but little to crush it. This plan of
carrying on the war is partially laid aside;.at
least, it is stripped of its evils and in grappling with
the enemy in future we Bhail bring all of our
immense power and resources into play with a
due appreciation of their value, and with an
economy which we hope will render our efforts
very successful. Heretofore, as in the beginning
of all great wars, there was endless waste—no
economy—no husbanding of resources. In the
West everything was thrown away, and captures
by the enemy fairly kept tbe rebels oomfortable.
On the Peninsula thousands of bales of hay, bar
rels of pork, boxes of crackers, clothing, equip
ments, arms, Ac., went to raok out in the weather.
Scores of worthless steamboats were sunk and
disabled on the Government’s hands. Guns
of every calibre, movable batteries, portable gun
sbields, similar to these used at the storming of
Sebastopol, and very costly wagons, locomotives!
oars, and many other articles, still mark the track
of the Army of the Potomac, remaining only so
long as the elemenls will allow. The same loose
ness was evident in our minor campaigns, though
perhaps, not to so great an extent. The period for
this wanton waste is over, and wo must be careful
in future, both in the conception and execution of
our plans. Now we can look forward hopefully.
' We can see MoOlcrnond goiug down the Mississippi,
while Banks moves up that river to meet him.
Both will have a continued round of successes,
after which they can occupy the territory they
have bought with the dearest American blood, to
the great advantage of our Government. Their
work will partake largely of an executive nature,
and no three minds ia the country are better suited
to it than those of Butler, Banks, and Jlc demand.
The Mississippi will he opened forever to the West
ern trade- and maoh will be accomplished to crush
tho rebellion: fur, if nothiog else is done towards
this desired end, Sicdinan and Holmes iu Arkansas
will be captured with their forces, a great river
will be opened, and several States forced to respect
those laws which all must sooner or later acknow
ledge are supreme.
THE HEWS.
The New Hampshire Democratic State Conven
tion met at Ccncprd, on Thursday, and nominated
Ira A. Kaslman for Governor, and James S. Cheney
forßailroad Commissioner. The resolutions adopted
affirm the preservation of the Constitution as it is
and the restoration of tho Union as it was. There
was a large attend anee and entire harmony.

praiseworthy enterprise of publishing a weekly
newspaper in Hammond General Hospital, at Point
Lookout, Md., lor the benefit of the sick and
wounded inmates of that institution.
It is said that G. B. Hoffman, of Effingham
county, Illinois, raised, last year, two bushels of
coffee. The seed was sent him from Australia.
The first year the - plants were unproductive; the
second year they here a little, and produced a full
crop the third year. He thinks thirty bushels can
be grown per acre.

It is I-F.oroSEi! in Virginia City, Nevada, to ship
immediately tp_ the East, for the benoSt of the
Sanitary Fund, the snm of $20,000, and in the
novel currency of silver bricks. The Territorial
Enterprise says: “ This shipment wiU be made in
solid Silver bricks, stamped with an appropriate
inscription, and will prove the biggest advertisement
for Nevada Territory that ingenious brains have
yet conceived. These silver bricks will be curious
ly examined and commented on by many a man in
New York who would forget, in fifteen 'minutes
after he heard it, the fact that $2O 000 in gold eoin
or treasury notes had been sent from the unknown
land of Nevada.”
There is said to be a great soareity of steam
boat hands on the Missouri river. The steamboats
are now paying fifty dollars per month for such
deck hands as they can get, and they are scaroa at
that.
The citizens of Cedar Falls, lowa, have sent as

steps towards organizing a “ Western Associated
PreßS, 1 ' for the purpose of furnishing each paper
connected with the association with the latest news
by telegraph. They state that, although they pay
liberally for the despatches they now receive from
the New York Associated Press, .they “ are ex
ceedingly unsatisfactory, and are furnished so late
that they are an actual damage to their journals.”
They think that they can organize an association
of their own, which will be more satisfactory to
them and their n aders, and at the same time not
be so expensive.

Souihtrn Patriotism.
The Richmond correspondent, of the Lon
don Tiwies quofcs the tribute paid to Southern
valor by Bvrke, in bis speech made In Parlia
ment in 1770, wherein be declared that the
love of liberty was purer and profounder in
the Southern than in the Northern colonies.
A sufficient comment upon the great states
man’s estimate of the North is to be found in
the fact that when, in 1780, the Continental.
Congress made a requisition upon the States
for ten millions of dollars, to "provide a vigor
ous co-operation with the promised succor
from France—of which intimation had just
been brought by Lafayette—the call em
braced only the Stales from New Hampshire'
to Virginia, Incl usive. North Carolina, South 1
Carolina, and. Georgia, at that time had been \
completely corqnnrtd by the British arms.
So fully were th>y restored to the crown,'
indeed, that the iv. ops with which Lord
Rawdoh fought General Gkbbnb, were to
a great extent natives of the South, who had
-flocked to South Carolina and Georgia from
the other colonies. Chief Justice Marshali,
Inliifilife of Washington, speaks as follows
of -thff dispOßilion of the British troops at
Hobklrk’s Hill: “ The 03d Regiment, sup
ported by the volunteers of . Ireland, formed
the right ; the King’k American regiment,
supported by Captain Robertson’s detach
ment, the left; and the New Vork volunteers
the centre of the British line. The South
Carolina regiment ar.d tbe cavalry were in the
tuf of the Whol;'. an‘|. fppn'ed a corps, of ob-_
serration.” Spta.ing of the couxse of Gen.
GsHrant; who, it win. b.e,ramesabereii,.,wBS'a.
Rhpde Is’and mar, the"same eminent autho
rity says: “It is iidpbjidbla to’rtiyiibw ffie
campaign of; .1781 in South |Garolina with
out feeling (hat much is due to General
Gbebne, and (hat Ire amply justified tho
favoiabie opinion entertained of him by the
commander-in-chief. He found the country
completely conquered and defended by a regu
lar army, which he calculated at four thou:, rod
men. (!) The inhabitants were so divided that
it would be difficult to declare to which side
the majority was attached. At no time did
the effective Continental force, which he
could bring into the field, amount to two
thousand men, and of these a considerable
part were raw troops. Yet, by a course of
judicious movement, of bold action, and of
hardy enterprise, in which the most invincible
constancy was displayed, and in which courage
was happily tempered with prudence, he re
covered the Southern Slates, and at the close of
the year civil government was completely re-,
established.” But a still better idea of the
utter subjugation of Georgia and the. Car
olinas may be conceived from the language of
Judge Marshall, when, after describing the
unpromising aspect of affairs in the Southern •
Colonies, in another part of the biography, he
concludes thus: “ Such was the condition of
the country when General Greene formed
the bold resolution of attempting to reannex
it to the American Union.” We commend
these extracts to the attention of the Times'
correspondent, with but little hope, however,
that his sentiments will be converted by the
plain truths they so forcibly present.
Hew York State True to the Government.
The official vote of the State of New York,
which has just been published, discloses the
significant fact that • Mr. Wadsworth, the
Union candidate for Governor, would have
been elected by a majority of over thirty-four
thousand votes, but for the area of fifteen
square miles around New York city. This
circuit not only overcame his majority, but
gave Seymour, the Breckinridge candidate,at
least ten thousand majority. For the most
past those who dwell within this circuit are a
transient population, who would to-morrow
change their habitation to China, Africa, or
Nova Zembia, if the “ almighty dollar” so di
rected. Compared to those whose pursuits,
relationships, and sympathies tie them to the
soil, what can such a community care for the
welfare and progress of the State? Indeed,
only eighteen months ago some of them gravely
proposed to cut the metropolis adrift and esta
blish it as. ah independent government; and
less than one month ago the chief author-of
this treasonable scheme was elected by the
people a Representative in Congress. There
axe many true and loyal men in New York
city; but, after all, the patriotic few are driven
to the wall by the plotter* and jobbers, and
misrule gains the day. Oar trust is in the
good time coming.
Atlantic Telegraph.
Mr. Cyrus Field has been speeehmaking at
Manchester, and other large English towns, in
favor of tire new Atlantic Telegraph ' which it
is proposed to lay,in order to connect England
with her North American colonies. Sorely,
Mr. Field is needlessly taking much pains in
this matter. It must be obvious to British
subjects that it will be greatly to the advan
tage of England to connect her province of
Ireland with her American provinces, by a
sub-marine telegraph from Valentia to New
foundland. The expectation that the United
States, nationally or by private speculation,
shall be subsidize d for money to meet the cost
of this great benefit to England is not reasona
ble. There is to be a promise that, In the
event ot war between this country and Eng
land, the telegraphic communication is still to
be kept up. This is absurd. In the first
place, should wrfr arise, we shall have little
occasion thus to communicate with England,
while England will command a complete com
munication with a terminus near our bounda
ry, and, in the second place, such a promise is
not likely to be kept—an hour longer than it
suited the convenience or interest of England.
When royal dynasties are overthrown, in Eu
rope, by breach of ali the treaties which recog
nized or established them, who can expect
that an agreement about a telegraph would be
maintained, if England desired to violate it?
In fact, as we have repeatedly urged,
since the failure of the sub-Atlantic telegraph,
four-years ago, the desired communication
between North America and England ought
to be made bn equal terms only. To" allow
England the possession and the control of
both termini would be to give her a very
great advantage with which she ought not to
he trusted. There is only one principle on
which this country can cordially co-operate,
In feeling and In money, with England—viz:
for England to control one terminus, at Va
lentia or elsewhere, and for the other termi
nus to be on onr American soil, —say in some
part of Maine or Massachusetts. Each coun
try would thus Tbe on equal terms. With both
termini British , we should be wholly at the
mercy of. England. Mr. Cyrus Field is
wasting his breath, and losing his time, if he
proposes anything less than one terminus in
the United States.
LETTER FROM -‘OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, Nov. 21, 1862.
A winter In Florida, Texas, and Louisiana—
what could be more delightfnl to Northern
people? The aristocratic South has sought
the North in the summer, and the aristocratic
North has sought the South in the winter.
This interchange of enjoyments, invited by
different climates, has produced many natural
results—such, for instance, as the establish
ment of valuable commercial intercourse,
and equally profitable and pleasant Social re
lations. Mr. and Mrs. John Slidell, of Loui
siana, sought Saratoga and Bedford, and
Newport and - Sharon, in the hot months
of July and August, while Mr. and Mirk.
Charles O’Conor, of New Vork, escaped
from the hibernating Northern atmosphere,
and sought repose and luxury in the
balmy breezes of St. Augustine, Florida,
and Lake Ponchartrain near the city of
New Orleans. Now, however, that Mr.
Slidell may no longer spend his sum
mers at the favorite fashionable resorts of
the free States, and that Fernando Wood and
Charles O’Conor may not, with all their sym
pathies for the rebellion, revel in the delights
of the soft find ba’my breezes that make winter
so agreeable in the extreme South, another
aristocracy, profiling by. the example of those
patricians, has gone forth to enjoy the pecu
liar pleasures of a Southern winter. This
L aristocracy is composed of the people who
have -gone into the army, and who are
now rapidly and indus'riously settling down
and taking possession of the great empires of
the Southwest, which the slaveholders flat
tered themselves had been carried bodily out
of the Union. Even while the expedition to
the coast of Texas, under the joint command
of General McClemand, of Illinois, and
General Banks, of Massachusetts, was fitting
out, we have the news of the virtual conquest
j of a Commonwealth the territorial area, of
| which is nearly six times that of the State of
j Pennsylvania, abounding in every conceivable
natural advantage—whether of soil, of cli
mate, cr of geographical position—large
j enough, in fact, to have been made the basis
| of a republic that, in course of time, would
have rivalled that of the United States itself,
I and have absorb’d the people of Mexico with
j in its influence. Florida maybe counted in
j the same class, and I will not be surprised if
\ long before the meeting of the next Congress a
1 full Republican delegation is chosen from Flo
-1 ridu, representing the free people of that State,
and sustaining the principles and the policy of
■■ the present Administration. It is certainly not
\ going beyond the limits of discretion to say
< that arrangements are now making to fulfil
' this hold and significant programme. That
: almost unparalleled intuitive statesman and
' soldier, Benjamin F. Butler, holding New
- Orleans, which sustains the relation to Loui
; siana that Paris does to France, is rapid
ly, I may say magically, severing Louisiana
from the Southern Confederacy, and reseal
ing it,-it is to be hoped, forever, to the old
Union. ’While, therefore, war has brought
niany sufferings'to our people and to our
' troops, we should be thankftai for its compeir
.- sation to ourselves, and its retribution*upon
. -our enemies. We. are driving the latter
( from the richest and healthiest portions of
the Southwest, and that winter campaign
. which is so horrible to them in Virginia, and
' which would bs so agreeable to them in Texas

and disinterested patriots who are now crowd

To the Mayor and Common Council of Fredericksburg :
Gentlemen : Under cover of the houses of your city
shots have been fired upon the troops of my command.
Tour mills and manufactories are furnishing provisions
and the materia! for clothing tor armed bodies to rebel
lion agatostthe Government of the United States. Your
railroads and other means of transportation are re
moving supplies to the depots of such troops.
This condition of things must terminate, and, by di
rection of General Burnside, I accordingly demand the
surrender of the city into xay hands# as the repre
sentative of the Government of tbe United States, on or
before five o’clock this afternoon.
Failing in an affirmative reply to this demand by the
hour indicated, sixteen hours-wiU be permitted to elspre,
for the removal frem the city of the women and ehKdren,
the sick and wounded, the aged, See , which period having
expired, I shall proceed to shell the town.
Upon obtaining possession of the city, every mean
wfii be taken to preserve order, and secure the operation
cf the laws and policy of the United States Government.
Your obedient servant# .

THE REBELS REFUSE THE DEMAND.
On his arrival on the opposite ride of theriver, Gen.
Patrick w aaconveyed to the guard house by the mili
tary, where he was detained until the reply was ready.
In the meantime, hU communication was conveyed to
Gen. Losgßtreet, whore troops are enoamptd a shoit dis
tance outride of the city- ~
To the demand made upon the .civil authorities the
Mayor of Fredericksburg sent an answer, which wai
evidently written at the dictation of Gan. Longutreet, to
the effect that the complaints should be remedied as far
as tho firing on our pickets and furniehing supplies and
material to the Confedorate army was concerned. Also,
that the rebels would dispute the occupation of the city
by the Government forces. The Mayor complained of
ttee short space of time allowed for the removal of the
women and children and sick soldiers. -
The proposition to afford-more time for this .purpose is
now under consideration. 1
Permission has been given to the citizens to run one
trein fre mlhecityj.tmt onlyfor the conveyance of women
and children. .

On Thursday morning, Captain Wilson, of the zeve

An excursion down tbe bar had been planned fo try

THE BRINSMADE CASE.
The case of Mis. Brinsmade, who was arrested aa a
female spy from Hew Orleans, and confined for some
weeks in toe Fourteenth-ward station- houte here, has
lost all its romance since it has been discovered that
.Mrs. B rather courted delicate attentions from the
rougher sex, mad failed in her evidence to implicate Mr.
Superintendent Kennedy, Mr. Provost Marshal Draper,
Mr. Chief Government Detective Baker, who all did
their duty while laboring under a misunderstanding.
Mrs. Brfpsm ado’s unreasonable detention has done her
no serious injury, it appears, and, indeed, she seems-to
have liked St, just for the sake of romance. She ac
knowledges that she bad a great many “ letters and
things,” and that she did say that “nobody could'fight
but Stonewall Jackson.” Some of one dailies feel rather
flat after denouncing every body Dy a coluim at a time

Halifax, Nova Scotia, stov. 14 —Lieutenant Maury,
and tbree or foar renegades from the Southern States,
arrived here per steamer Delta, from Bermuda, on
Monday.
Maury moves about with a bait, and wore tbe rebel
unifoTin on bis arrival.' A «* M*jor Ferguson” forms
one of the party* Be wears an o!d riouohdd hat, and
swears is Scotch. Tbo party put op at the Halifax
Hotel, and, shortly after their arrival, tbe Unctord threw
out a long pole with a large rebel flag from an upper
window. A crowd of beys and a lame organ-grinder
gathered round tbe ‘»fi*g,” and after a few airs from the
“ moßicfan,” Maury presented himself, and had one or
tw> half choked cheers!
Jest aa ali this was grit g on, a gentleman residing at the
hotel, indignant at tbfs outer display of Seoeeh bnakaso,
pftchtd dag and pole.oat, and town they fell ia the
gutter!
Lieutenant Maury would have had a very warm public
reception here, on account of his talents as a writer and
his Btrrlce in tbsliterary and pciOutific world 5 but un
fortunately for him, hfe going over to tbe traitors of the
Sotoh not only makes his appearance very dfstattefol in
respectable society, but his works ream also to be losing
their value and importance. The party are to leave for

Your cause has not many friends in this province, but
such offbeat as are favorab*e to the BNorth, and to'the
suppression of slavery, are really those wboie opinions
are worth am thing— New-York Evening Post .
(We have already chronicled the fact of Maury’s arri
val at Hamilton, Bermuda, on his way to Europe with
bis son, who also bears a comroiesion in the Confederate
navy. We learn that Manry has a commission of -*ad
mirel, and no doubt goes out to take command of the
Anglo-rebel navy fitting out in England, of which the
Alabama is the pioneer. Tho feeling in Europe against
privateering has caused this last {coup de strategic, on

George Francis Train at the Mu
sical FLED HALL—tub Musical Hand Hall was
last evening tiled to repletion, by an audience anxious
to hear Mr. Train in Ma -lecture of “AU Bound the .
World.” At eight o'clock precisely the lecturer ap
peared upon the platform, and introduced himself to Ills
audience in his own inimitable, easy style. Illustrating;
bin ohm theory, he treated the subject in a roundabout
wap, commencing with the middle, finishing up with the
beginning, and beginning again where' he left off. Mr.
Train commenced with the remark that Uli lecture smut
he given to a conversational.style He left the choice of
where be should commence with bis audience. He
thought It high time to break up the custom of a lec
turn’s bringing one a huge MS. fie usually gave his
audience much more than they received for the same
.'priceattbe theatre. Americana had praised him'for
being an American abroad, and an honest mm. His
opinions* as the eld woman said of her children, might
he homely enough, but they were at least his own. He
dared to be an American' abroad.. If anybody dls
agreed with him here, let that person spaak to
him from the audience, or upon the stage. He was
going thxoogh the West, and thence to fiichcfbnd! [tm~
inei.ee applause.]; He thought it was time somebody was
there. At Blcbuond he .wsb going to learn what they
were gring to do.' 'We must have one Union, one coun
try, undone flag. [Applause.] This war was a great
swindle. Everyman who is building a ship, a fort, or
manufacturing ah:ddy, don’t want the war slopped.
The people fight the battles in the army, not the poii
'tiefaus' Down with the politicians, and up with the
people! [Applause ] There was one class of people who
treated him better than his own countrymen, and
this was the Irish. - [Applause 1 'He intended to
smash'up eomefirings before he had done.. [lmmense
applauee.j .The people here are never allowed to think.
They have to come down to the tyranny of party. The
people are not consulted. It is zhfgb timato start the'
cry, Counwlthtbe politicians and up with the people.
The lecturer hoped reporters would be particularly
conscientiocs on tbls ©cession. He had mat with three
hundred dietoterestedpolitfeiaus, none of whom wanted to*
be President. - The members of the Cabinet are so jealous
of each other,.that were anyone of them to propose to put
down the war, end so make himself popular, the others
would hill him. Abraham Lincoln w&a an honest man.
'[Enthusiastic applause ] But the sebemlßg politicians at
Washington were not honest men. The lecturer con'd not
stand seeing one general removed to-day and another to-,
morrow, just to further their machinations, George 8.
McClellan was a friend of the lecturer’s. [The wildest
enthusiasm andcheers, lasliog for several minutes ] :
Tfce lecturer here nomfnattd Archbishop xinghea as-the
t ncxt Pope. He di&notaee why the Palps! headquarters

Beverling to England, tbe lecturer said she was Se
ccoh to tbe backbone. There was no use in talking,
(here was no fight in her. You bare to go through a
surgical operation to get an idea into an Englishman's:
head. Pouch had said that the lecturer was the most
systematic liar that nad ever come across the ocean.
Perhaps he was.
However, to go all round the world, he would com
mence with China. The people of this country were the
most horn st pe< pie on the face, of the world—except the.
Americana 1 In alLthe importations from China to this
couutry, who b*d*verevea heard of any falsely-packed'

Into clothing. All business transactions in China are
carried on by werd of mouth. An amusing asd inde
scribable illustration was here given. Here we are
obliged -to bind each other, and even then we
can’t hold each ether. The lecturer believed that
tbe Chinese had been badly treated ny England.
He had been brought up very religiouf y j always to con
tribute a quarter of a dollar to the missionary box.
Some of the Chinese wanted to Bead some missionaries to
England and America to Christianize the peoplr, since
they thought that foreigners needed religion more than
ttemßtlves. [Here' the lecturer gave an amuring hur
lecque of the manner in which a religion* notice was
given out in Ms echoed*boy days, in which the villagers
were rt quested to be present lix Ibe vesiry room at half
* psßt sevtn o’clock. 1 In* China, by the way, when

though he motioned him to leave the room. E rory thing
there was upfide Cown. Zn the theatre, the orchestra,
iutcadofbelrg in front of the stage, was away at the
back of it. Here a very expressive burlesque of the ex
pressionless Chinese face and euphonious language was
given. In China they look upon our system of prose
-13 tit g as simply ridiculous. The Chinese excel In charity.
Charitable institutions filled the country. la-China a
man must have brain and capacity, and rise by his own
merit The lecturer wanted to know why we, the Ameri
cans. fhould not be more enterprising. Why not havea
line of steamships to Obina 7—why not have the Stock Ex
change in New York instead of in London ? We do not
feel as we ought to, that America to day is more power
ful than all Europe put together. [lmmense applause ]
Now, once for all, the lecturer would commence bis tra
vels. He had already exceeded bis hour; should he go
on or not? [Cries of «Go on.”] He bad commenced
his travels when he Was a very little boy. . His Sun
day—the good old Puritan Sunday—had commenced
on Friday evening and ended on Tuesday-morning.
Be was taught not to swear, drink, chew, smoke, and
>o forth. At eighteen he went on to Washington, and
saw the great men. He remarked that all the leading
men sworr, and lied, and drank, and cheated, and worse.
His cld grandmother most have deceived him, lie thought.
He had been all round the world, bathed never tasted a
glass of toerry, or gin, or rum, or even smoked a cigar
in bis life. The way children were educated now* a days
was too bad—too had. It was teo bad to teach them a dead
language in a live age. The teetnrer badonly hal three
months’ eduncaiion in 'his life. In 1860 he had seen
his Grace the Luke cf' Devonshire for the first lime.
The lecturer was naiuraily'or a very diffident nature.
] Laughter.] At 10 o’clock one Sunday night, in. the
year 1860, he w.as informed that his Grace was awaiting
the pleasure of seeing Mr. Train. His Grace told him
he was exceedingly glad to' see him, and learn that he
cams from Boston, since he wished particularly to
inquire after jbte friend, Mr. William H. Prescott,
and Mies .Charlotte Cushman, the eminent historian
and splendid actress. When the lecturer visited
Ooatswortb, at the Duke’s tfistance, he found a
line of liveried servants drawn up,' and inquiring
when, hte Boyal Highness, would take his lunch ! He
found subsequently that he had been mistaken for Prihoe
Alexander of. Hesse. However, the waterworks were
Bet in motion for Mr. Trainband. the Prince Alexander
bad tbe distinguished honor of looking on. He merely
mentioned: this instance to display the courtesy of an
English lord. There ware sezhe genth men iu England
still—some even among jbe ncbks. It was never tbe
ptcple tbe lecturer had referred to in any harsh remarks
he may have made.
In reference to Australia, he said that twelve rears
ago wondertul.storieß were told of the place. The swans
: were all black, the birds talked Instead of sang, the trees
efced thtlr bark instead of leaves,-and the oherry-Btones
grew .outside the oheirits. If the lecturer was an in
sane man he was going to be so on a grand scale : he
going to the .White Bouse in 1861. Did any of fata
audience believe Mr. Be ward when he said he didn't want
to be Prfddeht I Yes,”, fromone of the audience j
: Well* he, the lecturer, thr one; did want tobe President.
-Did his audience believe that T J -• ‘
In his I ravel a to,Java the lecturer had been charmed
by too Paradisic air which pervaded those regions;
Here about a hundred Eastern names Mere rattled wover,

taking off the shoes in Turkey was productive

The lecturer revetted bis hoarseness, and put it to his

and was largely attended. The only business transacted
was the appointment of a committee to wait on all the
shops not represented In the meeting, for the purpose of
getting them to send delegates to the meeting, after
which a uniform scale of prices will bs adopted. As mat
ters now are, the different shops pay different prices, and
tbeobjcctof the association is to have them made uni
form.
The journeymen riggesa also held a meeting last eve*
ning, for the purpose of adopting measure* to seoare
higher wages. The wages now paid the riggers are 82
per day, but they wish $2 50, and a committee, to wait
on thetr fellow* workmen with, tola Ytawi especially those
employed in toe navy yard, was appointed. This step is
thought necessary on aooount of the high price of food,
clothing. Ac.

festival of the patron saint of music, Si. Cecilia. This
saint was a Soman lady, who lived and suffered martyr
dom in the early part of the third century.' So skilful

were built in her honor in Borne. St. Oeoilia was a fa
vorite subject with the old painters, and.inspired Ba
'phael with one of Ms divines! conceptions—the celebra
ted picture of the saint in toS* gallery at Bologna. The
day will beappropriatelyobserved in the various Catholic
churches of tbe city*

<e Kedralgia in the Army.”—Under this
head ibe following paragraph appeared in Tki Frets of
Thursday, which premises Important results for the
ermfort «nd leaith of our brave soldiers:
“ Bnnituu in the Assy. —Surgeons in the army
complain that neuralgia in the head, with which so many
of onr soldiers are eflUeted in the cold weather,is earned
by the want of proper protection from the snow, sleet,
and winds. The small cap Worn by oar soldiers offers
no protection whatever to the head and earn, and should
be snpplTd by something more substantial. As the cold
weather to now upon nr, tula matter should he attended
to SjDmeoielelyj. and onr.trocps furnished with every
thing that to reeatoUe for them to have in order to endure
the hardwire of the field.”
Since publishing the above we have been called upon
by ottt towxEman, Mr. Wm F Warburfcon, the hatter
of ut itreet, who exhibited. to ns two patent caps
of his own invention—the one having been patented on
the 2dth of February, and toe other on the 26 :h of Au
gust, of toe present year—which so perfectly anticipate
the wants complained of by the army surgeons, tost vs
