MONDAY, JULY N, 1804
Attonne Monthly for Angust
The opening article, upon Charles Rude, the no
velist, Is purely critical, telling nothing at all about
the man. Considering how little is known of him—
only that ho is a lay follow of Magdalen College,
Oxford, and D. 0. L. of that university—we should
have deitred a little more personality in an article
of which he is the subject. Perhaps Miss 11. E.
Prescott, who wrote the criticism, knew nothing of
Rude except his booksl [BY the way, her own now
romance, called "Marian," is full of fascination,
not so much for incidents, which are few, bat
for a thorough feeling for and knowledge of
nature, and a surprising affluence of language.
There really are only fear characters on the tapir
—a Greek, a slower-painter, a Russian lady, and an
actress.] "How. Rome is Governed," by George
W. Greene, is well-timed, as well as well-written,
describing the whole administrative organization of
Rome, the election, the Coronation, and the daily life
of the Pope, with other things of interest. M.r.Troiv
bridge follows with the first part of a. prose tale,called
"What will Become of Them 1" Andrew Ton
Brock writes amusingly of beer-drinking in Bova
rla, or rather in Munich. " Spiriclion," the well
known Parisian cortupondent of the Boston Saturday
Evening Gazette, squeezes out the brains of a French
tale about "Literary Life in Paris," and treats,
this time; of the drawing-room. A. DI. Diaz gives a
somewhat feeble story ealled - " The Little Country
Girl," and Mrs. Stowe, whose common Bennis oven
greater than her genius, continues her revelations,
in "I-Louse and Home Papers," upon the needless
and culpable costliness of female attire in this
country. G. M. -Towle writes, too briefly, upon
" Our Recent Foreign Relations." Them are three
poems here : the first of these, entitled "Concord,
May 24, 1.564." is a tribute, by Longfellow, to his
friend Hawthorne, who was buried that day. There
is a little lyric about "Sweet Brier," which roads
like the pretty occasional poem it is, too fragile for
criticism, but pleasant to read, once. Dr. J. G.
Holland contributes some vigorous, manly, patri
otic stanzas, "The Heart of the War." Lastly,
five mortal pages are filled with doggerel rhymes
entitled "Friar Jerome's Beautiful Book." If
Leigh Hunt had had the treatment of the slight Jul
dent so wearily and weakly spun out here, he would
have related it directly, In eighteen or twenty
lines, as he did relate . what happened to Abou
Ben A (Mem,' and the world would have said
"This is poetry." Instead of this, a mcio manu
facturer of what the Bound Table sharply called
"machine-poetry," beats the idea out into some
two hundred and forty lines, In. Hudibrastic mea
sure, and spoils it. Mr. T. B. Aldrich has done this
—much as he does most things in rhyme. Thennm
her is wound up with some judicious book notices.
The Atlantic Monthly has been received from T. B.
Pugh, corner of Chestnut and Sixth.
We notice that Ticknor & Fields announce, as
nearly ready, Idylls of the Hearth, by Alfred
Tennyson; Dramatis Persons), by Robert Brown
ing, and Poems of the War, by George H. Boker.
Anttrew Johnson's Letter of ie..
ceptance.
The following Is the letter of Hon. Andrew John
son, accepting the nomination of the National Union
Convention for Vice President of the United States:
NASHVILLE, TENN, July 2,1864.
lion. William Dennison, Chairman, and others, Com
mittee of the National Union Convention:
GENTLEMEN : Your communication Of the 9th
ult. informing me of my nomination for the Vice
Prelidency of the United States by the. National
Union Convention, held at Baltimore, and'enclosing
a copy of the resolutions adopted by that body, was
not received until the 25th ult. 4
A reply on my part had been previously made 'to
the action of the Convention in presenting my mama,
in a speech delivered In this city, on • the evening
succeeding the day-of the adjournment 'of the Con
vention. In which I indicated my acceptance of the
distinguished honor conferred by that body, and do
fined the grounds upon which that acceptance was
based, substantially saying what I now have to say.
From the comments made upon that speech by the
various presses of the country to which myattention
has been directed, I consider it to be regarded as a
full acceptance. .
In view, however, of the desire expressed in your
communication, I will more fully allude to a few
points that have been heretofore presented. My
opinions on the leading questions at present agita
ting and distracting the public mind, and especially
in reference to the rebellion now- being waged
ago inst the Government and authority of the United
States, I presume are generally understood. Be
fore the Southern people assumed a belligerent at
titude (and frequently since) I took occasion, most
frankly, to declare the views .1 - then entertained In
relation to the wicked purposes of the Southern
politicians. They have since undergone but little,
if any, change. Time and subsequent events have
rather confirmed than diminishedlmy confidence In
their correctness.
At the beginning of this great struggle I enter
tained the same opinion of it I do now, and in my
place in the Senate I denounced it as treason wor
thy the punishment of death, and warned: the-Go
vernment and people of the impending 'danger.
But my voice was not heard or counsel • heeded un
til It was too late to avert the storm. It still con
tinued to gather over us without molestation from
the authorities at Washington, until at length it
broke with all its fury upon the country. And now,
if we would save the Government front being over
whelmed by it, we mutt meet it in the true spirit of
patriotism, and bring traitors to the punishment
duo their crime, and by farce of arms crush out and
subdue the last vestige of rebel authority in every
I felt then, as now, that the destruction of the Go
vernment was deliberately determined upon by
wicked and designing conspirators, whose lives and
fortunes were pledged to carry It out, and that no
compromise, short of an unconditional recognition
of the Independence of the Southern States, could
have been or could now be proposed which they
would accept. The clamor for -"Southern
as the rebel journals were pleased to designate their
rallying cry, was not to secure their assumed rights
in the Union and under the Constitution but to dis
rupt the Government and establish an independent
organization, based upon slavery, which they could
at all times control.
The separation of the Government. has for years
been the cherished purpose of the Southern leaders.
Baffled, in 1812, by the stern, patriotic heroism of
Andrew Jackson, they sullenly acquiesced only to
maturetheir diabolical schemes, and await the re
currence of a more favorable opportunity to execute
them. Then the pretext wad tee tariff, and Jack
son, after felling their schemes of nullification and
disunion, with prophetic perspicaelty warned the.
country against the renewal of their efforts to dis
member the GovernMent.
In a letter dated May 1,1833, to the Rev. A.. T
CraWtord, after demonstrating the heartless insin
cerity of the Southern nullifiers, he said:..
orherelore the tariff was only a pretext, and dis
union and a Southern Confederacy the real object.
The next pretext will be the negro or slavery ques
Time has fully verified this prediction. and we
have now not only "the nogro, or slavery question,"
as the, pretext, but the real cause of the rebellion,
and both must go down together. Inds vain to at- -
tempt to reconstruct the Union with the distracting
element of slavery In it. Experience has demon,
strafed its Incompatibility with free and republican.
governments, and it would- be unwise and unjust
longer to continue It as one of the Institutions of the
country. While it remained subordinate to the
Constitution and laws of the United States, I oid
ed to it my support, but when it became rebellious,
and attempted to rise above the Government and
control its action, I threw my humble influence
against it.
The authority of the Government Is aureate, and
will admit of no rivalry. No Institution can rise
above it, whether it be slavery or any other organ
ized power. In our happy form of government all
must be subordinate to the will of the people, when
reflected through the Constitution and laws made
pursuant thereto—State or Federal. This great
principle lies at the foundation of every govern
ment, and cannot be disregarded without the
destruction of the Government- Itself.. In the sup
port and practice of correct principles we. oan never
reach wrong results ; and by rigorously adhering to
this great fundamental truth the end will be the
preServation of the Union and tho overthrow of an
Institution which has made war upon and attempted
the destruction of the Government Itself.
The mode by which this great change—the eman
cipation of the Slave—can be effected, is properly
found in the'power to amend the Constitution of the
United States. This plan Is. effectual, and of no
doubtful authority; and While it does not contra
vene the timely exercise of the war power by the
President in his Emancipation Proclamation, tt
comes stumped with the authority-of the people
themselves, acting In accordance with the written
rule of the, supremo law of the land, and ma% there
fore, give Inure general satisfaction and quietude
to the distracted public mind.
By recurring to the 'principles contained in the
resolutions so unanimously anoptoil by the Conven—
tion, and that they substantially accord with my
public acts and opinions heretofore made known anti.
expressed, and are, therefore, most cordially en;
dorsed and approved, and the nomination, having.
been conferred without any solicitation on my part,
It Is with the greater pleasure accepted,
In accepting the nomination. I might here olose,

Editor of fhe Transcript:
As tho small amount of printer's ink which you
used upon me in yesterday evening's irronteript
somewhat allects my friend Col. :footless, for whom
you charge me with having "a weakness," you will,
I knew, allow me a small space In reply.
I confess to a " weakness'' for Col. Jaquess, and I
hope the day way never come when I have not a
weakness for him, end for all men like him. I con
sider him a brave, true, patriotic, Christian gentle.
man. Ito is widely known and esteemed at the
West. Before the war he was for fourteen years
President of Quincy College, Illinois, and' at the
breaking out of the rebellion was selected by Gov.
Yates to raise a three years' regiment.
He did so, and with that regiment was in 'the
front of the assault at Fort Donelson • did e ff ective
service at Pittsburg Landing; save d 101 l wing
at Perryville ; "fought as I never saw man fight.
before" (these were General Rosecrans' exact words
to me) at Stone river ; stood his ground till three
horses wore shot under him, and three-fourths of
his men lay dead or wounded about him, at Chicka
mauga, and was the "rat man to enter the rebel
entrenchments on the heights of Mission Ridge.
Such a record, I think, should justify any weakness
I have for him.
With his supposed "mission," I have nothing to
do. I went with him—or rather he went with me,
for my pans directed General Grant to "allow J.
R. Glizuore and friend to pass our lines and go
South "—to Richmond, on Saturday last, and I can
say, unequivocally, that the President know no.
thing of his accompanying me.
Dlr. Lincoln, though an oltltime friend and ac
quaintance of Colonel jacquess, has not oven seen
him for now nearly three years.
How the newspaper statements in reference to our
visit to Dlr. Davis originated Ido not know. Until
twelve o'clock last night—when I returned to my
home in this city-4 had communicated to no human
being, except Generals Butler and Grant and the
President the fact of having been in the rebel capi
tal at all.
So much for your paragraph. Now, allow me a
few words in reference to a telegram in this morn
ing's Advertiser, which charges mo with being an
attache of the Now York Tribune, and with having
some connection with the Sanders-Greeley negotia
tion that is said to be going on at Niagara Falls.
1 am Not, and never have been, connected with tho
New York Tribune. At tho earnest solicitation of
Mr. Sidney Howard Gay, the managing editor of
that journal (who is a very dear and intimate friend
of mine), 1 did consent, nearly two years ago; to the
Tribune Association publishing a cheap edition of
my books (but that arrangement was long since dis
continued), and I did, In July last, write half a
dozen sketches for that paper. -•
I have not, however, exchanged a word with' Mr.
Greeley, or even seen him, for fully three months,
and I have no connection with—in fact, I know ab
solutely nothing of, his "negotiations."
This much, however, in rcfcrenco to that much
talked-of matter. Being a Yankee, I can guess. It
will result in nothing. Jefferson Davis said to me
last Sunday (and with all his faults I believe hinfia•
man of truth), "This war mast go on till the last of
this generation falls in his tracks, and his children.
seize his musket and fight our battle, unless you at=
knowledge our right to self-government. We are not
fighting for slavery. We are lighting for Indepen
dence and that, or extermination, wo will have."
if essrs. Sanders, Holcombe, Thompson, & Co.
have 4, pulled the wool , over the eyes of Mr. Gree
ley, they have not pulled it over the eyes of Ur.
Lincoln. He, I know,fully understands and appre
ciates •their .overtures, and you can safely assure
your readers that the Interests and honor of the
country are safe in his hands. If every man, wo
man, and child In this nation knew him es I do, they
would believe this, and would say, as I do, God bless
him.
I have returned from the South much prostrated

Destruction of the Chapel• Royal of the
Savoy:
The London Times of July Bth says : Yeaterday,
at midday, this venerable church, which was up
wards of WO years old, and which has besides a pe
culiar historical interest, was destroyed by fire, and
nothing now remains of the edifice, which was
always greatly admired for its interior embellish
ment, but the bare, charred, rootless walls. Most
Londoners, and many other people besides, will re
member the chapel, situated in a quiet nook behind
the Strand, with Its trim little burial ground sur
rounded with trees and evergreens ; and forming a
kind of oasis in the midst of a great city. It stood
within the precincts of the ancient Palace of the Sa
voy, of which it was the last remnant.. It is a paro
chial benefice In the gift of her Majesty, In right
of her Duchy of Lancaster, and in• the reign
Elizabeth, before the householders beyond the
precinct were permitted to use It as their parish
church, they signed au instrument renouncing all
claim to any right or property in the efutpetitself.
There is a tradition that when the Liturgy in the
vernacular tongue was restored by ttueen•Elizaboth
the Chapel of the Savoy was the first place:sin which
the service was performed. It was In this chapel
also that the memorable oonteronce between the
Episcopalian and Presbyterian divines on. the Book
of Common Prayer was held in 1661. The benefice
has been held by more than one distinguished orna
ment of the Church of England ; among others, by
Dr. Anthony liorneck, the favorite chaplain of King
William ill., and one of the most celebrated preach.
ere of his time. The chapel, which was erected
about the beginning , of the reign of Henry VIII, was.
originally connected with an hospital. Its interior ,
dimensions were 90 feet by 24, and It was in the Gothic.
style of architecture, with a curious little tower at the
southern endovlalch with the main walls stilt Survives.
Thecelling,which hasbeen entirely destroyed,was the
most striking feature of the interior of the chapel.
it was wholly of oak and pear, and divided into 138 •
quatretoll panels, each enriched with a carved orna
ment either of sacred or historical significance..
The panels numbered 23 In the length of the chapel
and six in its width. Ton of the ranges had each
a shield in the centre, presentingin high relief souse
feature or emblem of the passion and death of the
Saviour, and all devised and arranged in a style of
which there are many examples In sacred edifices in
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The panels
throughout the rest of the ceiling contained bear
ings or badges, indicating the various families from
which the royal lineage was derived, and more
particularly the alliances of the House of Lancas
ter, each panel being surrounded by a wreath rich
ly blazoned and tinted with the livery colors of the
different families. The various devices in the ceil
ing will, be !bend minutely explained in a heraldic
work by Mr. Willement. There were many ancient.
mural monuments in the chapel. Among them was
an imposing one in the chapel, to the memory of
Sir Robert Douglas and his lady, erected in the -
early part of tha seventeenth century. In a pretty
Gothic niche on the opposite side was the figure of
a lady kneeling, commemorative of Jocose, daugh
ter of Sir Alan Apsiey, Lieutenant of the Tower,
and wife of, the then Earl of 'Dalhousie. On the
western wall, near the alter-piece, was a beautiful
ornamental recess, in the back of which had been •
effigies engraved on brass. Near this was a small
tablet to the memory of Ann Kllligrew, 1685,
daughter of one of the Masters of the Savoy, and
niece to the well-known jester. This was the lady
described by Dryden as "a grace for beauty, and a
muse for wit." Of Arabella, Dowager Countess of
Nottingham, who was interred in the chancel,
there was also a fine monument. Some of
these have. survived the ravages of the tire
of yesterday, but not so the fine altar-piece and
the largo stained glass window surmounting it,
whiehatrive been entirely destroyed. In the lower
central compartment of this window was a figure of
St. John the Baptist, to whom the hospital of the
Savoy was dedicated. The side compartments con
tained emblems Of the other Evangelists, while the
ducal coronet, the red rose of Lancaster, and the
lions andfleurs de•its of the Plantagenet escutcheon
were introduced in other parts. Over all was the
inscription :. "This window was glazed at the cost
of the congnegation in honor of God, and in gra-.
Mud° to ourtqueen'Victoria." With respect to thq
fire, appears that of late a slight escape of gas
had been perceived in tho neighborhood of the
organ, which was on the floor and at the south
end of the chapel, and yesterday a gasfitter
was employed to detect the point of leakage.
While so• engaged he was accompanied by ..the
nov..Heary White, tho incumbent of the chapel,
who was exceedingly anxious that he should ob-•
serve alt duo care In the matter. They entered the
chapel together for that purpose and left it together.
Shortly afterwards the beadle, who was at'work.im
the chunshyard, perceived amen of fire, and, having
called Mr. White's attention to it, they entered the
chapel, and found that It proceeded from a curtain,
whioh appeared to have been slightly singed. There
'Was then no other visible sign of fire, and that had
been extinguished before they entered ; but shortly
afterwards the Interior of tho chapel was observed
to ba him blaze. The fire spread with great rapidity,
and before assistance could be had, or engines
brought, it had obtained such a hold of the building
as to defy all efforts to extinguish it; and in less
than an hour the chapel was reduced to a mass of
ruins. A house In the occupation of Mr. Finney, a
tailor, caught fire at the back through the-window
of a balcony whit* overhung the northern end's!' the
church, and was In a abort time completely vatted.
The fire spread to some adjoining premisesoccupied
by the printers of the Press newspaper, but did little
damage In comparison, and there it appears to have
been arrested, but net boibre It had extended Into
the Strand through the house of Mr. Finney.
Fortunately, the registers of baptisms, marriages,
and burials connected with the chapel, andthe Com
munion plate, have been saved uninjured,

SINGULAR ATTRINIPT AT DIURBZU. is FRANGII.—
The Court of Aselzcs of the lianas° hits been en
gaged during seven sittings in trying a young wan,
stained (Jounet, aged 22, on is charge of having at
tempted to murder a farmer, named Latlet, residing
at Si. Pardouis.POrtigior, by discharging, at. him a
stun loaded with slugs and balls. • Ladet's wife, and
her lather and mother, named Needle, were also
charged with being nceomplico3 In the mime. In
the evening of the 4th March last, as Latiet war.
goings to a uelgliberlng to fetch his .olio
home according to appoint meat, ho was fired at by
a person concealed behind a tree, and wounded
by a ball In the chest and by a slug over tho
right eye. Two other projectiles also passed
through his clothes. It was at first thought that
the wound in the breast would prove fatal, but the
ball was extracted on the following day, and the
wounded man recovered. Suspicion at once fell on
the prisoner Gounet, who was arrested. When in.
torrogated, Le confessed his guilt, and stated that
ho had made the attempt ut the instigation of La
dot's wife, and her father and mother, who had
planned the crime nod taken measure' to insure its
'success. They were accordingly arrested. It appears
that 0 ounet had last year made an offer of marriage
to Nauche's daughter, but was refused on account of
Ids poverty, and in September last they married her
to Ladet, who possessed some land of his own, and
also held a mortgage for .C 1,600 on land belonging to
Naucho. After the marriage It became notorious in
the village that the prisoner Gonna maintained an
improper connection with his former sweetheart,
who was hoard on more titan ono occasion to ex
press a wish for her husband's death, that she
might marry him. In - November last the pri..
sonar Ladet induced her husband to make a will,
leaving • her ail his property; and after that his
murder was planned by herself, her parents, and
Gounot, and they only waited for a good oppor
tunity. In the first days or March Gounet was
provided with a gun, anti it was arranged on
the 4th that Ladet s wife should go to Sn
drook,after persuading her husband to fetch her
home in the evening while Gounet should lie in
wall and shoothim as 'ho passed along the road. Oa
the day after the crime footsteps were traced across
the; Sold from the prisoner Gounet's house to the spot
were the shot was fired, and were proved exactly to
match his shoes. Ahnost every part of Gounet's
confession was fully substantiated by collateral evi
dence; but the three other prisoners nevertheless fle•
nied all share in the crime. The proofs of their guilt
were, however, considered conclusive by the jury,
who brought, in a verdict of guilty against all four
prisoners, and the court accordingly sentenced Gow
net to hard labor for life, and the other three to twen
ty years of the same punishment.— Gatignani.
• Silawar tuns A Littera Vinvuous. Coleridge
says rightly there is not one really vicious passage in
all Shukspeate. There are coarse things , for the cus
toms and language of the time were coarse. But there
is nothing rotten at the root, nothing insidious in the
suggestion. Vice never walla abroad in the mental
twilight wearing the garb of virtue. You hoar the
voices of Wrong and light., Trid.t. and Error in his
works, but there Is no confusion of tongues for the
efinfountllng of the sense. He has no softness for
sentimental sinners, such as Goethe shows for his
"Faust," and lets down no drawbridge at the last
__moment to help them over the dark gulf. His lines
are drawn as sharply as is the scriptural decree
that the tree shall lie as ft falls. He has left.
alto pity for the suffering and struggling and
wounded -by the 'way. The most powerfull and
pathetic pleadings on behalf of Christian charity
that , are to ho found anywhere out of the Now
Testament have been spoken by Shakspearo. lie
takes to his large warm heart much that the
world usually oasts out to perish in the cold. There
is nothing too poor or too moan to be embraced
within the circle of his sympathies. He sees the
germ of good in that which looks all evil to the care
less passers by, for his eyes aro large with love, and
have its "precious seeing." If there be only the
least little redeeming tench in the most abandoned
character he is sure to point it out. After all, It to
the best hearts that are , the truest mirror, even of
this world, for it is God'u world, bad as we have
managed to make it.--Londan Quarterly Review.
ST. PAHL'S IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTERS'.—Si
' Paul's, London, in the sixteenth century, must
have been a dreadful place. Mr. Walcott., the pre.

which it was put in that age:
" The_derecration was something horrible, and
• only Wort° than the filth of the floors and the decay
of the fabric. Drunkards and vagabonds slept off .
their drunken orgies on the bench of the choir
door; butchers and water-carriers' conveyed their
valet?, and Irian wore their hats, through the aisles ;
mules and horses were driven across them ; tobac
conists sold in the nave; seamstors and booksellers
plied their trade; a carpenter worked' in the crypt ;
trunkmakers In the crypt disturbed the services;
ebantries had beeomo cellars, lumber-rooms, and
glaziers' shops ; choristers, as at Litchfield and
Wsstulinster (but less courteous than• those of
Riptim who distributed apples to the congrega
tion. on Ohristmas morning), hunted, booted gen
tlemen' for spur-money-only less vociferously than
beggars pursued the other company; . the usurer

north; the horse-fair in the central alley; and
money-was paid on the front. Masked women, rut - -

TIM ROORTTA STONIC —MOSt readers are
with the fact that what little Is known of the Moro
i glyphic language of ancient Egypt we owo to the
comparison or the inscriptions In Greek and Wore
glyph on the Rosetta stone. The stone itself, O. bro.
• ken slab of dark colored rock, is in the British Mu
seum, whore It was deposited after It was captured
from the French by the British forces In Egypt. A.
distinguished citizen of this country related to us a
few days since an anecdote connected with the histo
ry of this valuable stone, which is worthy of preser
vation. Many years ago a number or gentlemen
were one evening conversing in a club room in New
York. Among tho party present wore Chancellor
Kent, Mr. Gallatin, Prot'. S. P. B. Morse, and other
eminent Americans and also Sir ifiligrovo Turner,.
a British °Meer. The conversation turned to the
Aliesetta stone, and Sir 11. said that he was the pincer
who was charged with the duty of collecting the
antiquities which the French army had secured,
and transmitting them to England. , In execu
ting Ills orders ho visited the headquarters of the
selentitie gentlemen attached to the French army,
and received from them information as -to the
various articles and their place of deposit. As he
was leaving ho saw a stone lying _on the ground,
with 11.8 rough side uppermost,. Touching It with
his foot he asked what It was, and received a reply
whichindicated that It was of no value. One of
Lis men, however, turned It over, and seeing that it
bore an inscription ho ordered It to be carried away.
Be was instantly surrounded by the French secants,
trim implored Lim not to take it. Being thus im
pressed with its importance, he, of course, insisted,
but allowed them to take a plaster cast of it for
their own use. TIM the British Museum became
possessed of the most highly-prized and perhaps
most valuable antique which Egyptian research has
produced. Dr. Young's Investigations on the origi
nal stone in England, and Champoilion's on the
piaster cast in Paris, resulted in giving us pretty
much all the Information we possess to regard to the
writings on the Egyptian monuments.
It may be interesting to some renders to add a
brief explanation of the manner In which this stone
became so valuable. A comparison of the Greek
with the hieroglyphic inscription was carefully
made. They gave, In two languages, a decree of
Ptolemy. it was hound that, where the name of
Ptolemy occurred in the Greek, a peculiar form of
hieroglyphic occurred In the Coptic or Egyp
thin. This peculiar form, since known as a
cartouche, was a group of hieroglyphs enclosed In an
oval line. The several characters were supposed to
represent letters. A comparison of those forming
the Greek word Ptolemaic's with a similar cartoucho
already known to give the name of Cleopatra result
ed In showing that the letters corresponded In each.
Thus the first great discovery was made that the
hieroglyphics iscre In some cases phonetic instead
of being picture representations of ideas. Upon
this basis Champollion established his system, and
patiently constructed his great dictionary. Later
studies have disproved many of Champ°lllon , s
theories, and the investigation has made little or no
practical progress for Way years. The work to be
done is difficult. A •lost language, written in un
known characters, is a puzzle for the keenest rea
der of cyphers. American ingenuity has not yet
been directed to the subject to any great extent.
When we get through the war let us hope sonic ono
will undertake it.
AN INTERE9IINO SCLENTIFIO STrDr.—We de.
scribed, a few days ago, the progress of the Chicago
lake tunnel. The Times of that city says :
A few hours spent in examining the encrinltes,
ammonites, and other beautiful fossils found in
some specimens of the limestone dug up at this
place, would be productive of pleasure and profit to
the amateur geologist or mineralogist, tor there
both have a good opportunity for obtaining a few
practical hints in their respective sciences. in sink
ing the land Shalt the workmen struck a jet of car
buretted hydrogen, which, having been ignited,
burned with a brilliant flame until effectually ox
tinguished by the brick work lining the shaft. Very
little water has been met with, although the drift
lies directly under the lake. The earth through
which the tunneling is extending isa very hard blue
clay, mixed with rocks of various kinds, varying in
.she from that of a pebble to a boulder weighng three
or four hundred pounds. The olay is exceedingly
hard, requiring thcose of a pink to detach it, while
the stones vary In hardness from impenetrable
granite to the soft - shale and friable' sandstone.
It is impossible to state accurately the nu
merous varieties of rock which have been
successively dug up from this stratum , under
lying She bed of thu lake. A mineralogist
examining numerous specimens which are daily
hoisted to the surface would discover prolgtbly as
many as twenty-five varieties, among which are
granite of six varieties, traprock, shale; limestone
of several kinds—some of them fossillferousand
stone, mica, slate, and considerable quantities of
iron and copper pyrites. There have been found
also some specimens of a rock, Irons which, on being
placed in water, an oil exudes, giving the Bartow&
beautiful iridescent appearaneo. Some specimens,
on being broken, discover deposits of mineral pito(
or bitumen. One noticeable peculiarity in thurocks•
dug from this locality is that many of them-are
striated on one face and plain on the other, while .
others hare channels on both surfaces. This is at
tributed to glacial action during the long ages when.
ponderous masses of snow and lee, with stones em—
bedded in their surfaces, moved slowly from 'the
places of their fOrmation, and, after floating south
ward, melted and allowed the rocky fragments to
find a resting pines irr the clay which then fordied ,
the bed of the vast lake.

saw the bear in full flight and the pony after him •
with his ears set back. He got up and shook
himself, and saw his guns lying on the ground ; •
his attendants had all disappeared. He was about
to retrace his footsteps, when• he heard several
voices saying: "Here we are It' and on looking

From La Gazelle Musicale we have an account

votive ceremony began, with a lkntastio sym
phony by M. Sanchez. Then the curtain rose, and
displayed a beautiful funereal monument, sur
rounded by all the artists belonging.terthe theatre.
Nine of these, each bearing a letter of• the name of
Dleyerbeer, set in wreaths of immortelles, arranged
these letters' on the monument.. There, already,
had been deposited the three great - scores of the

Of such glorious rumors as those which pervaded

One of the zt arkedloecullarities of the people with
'whom we war is, that - they publish their military in
tentions in news papers-before oommencing their axe
cation. One 01 the laecullarities of the singular
brwod of small p oliticlans set over us at Montgome
ry. is a resoluto disballsf 'in all information that
comes to them• through.a.plain ordinary public
channel. Althouigh tharesnithae a hundred times
proven that the ;Plan made nubile in the New York
papers ',US really, theplaned - thesturmy's general or
Government, they cannot-comprehend the tact that
the enemy does so give neticeof their designs. The
publication is to them aliorthetproof that they are
going to do something
They could not believethstrthic campaign in Vir
ginia was intended, chicly. bseans.s. the scheme was
universally published. They pay as•little attention
to the plan now aserlbsd- to Grant by that same
press. That plan is simple—to keep. a large army
closes to Petersburg and Lserwhilocavalry raids cut
the railroads leading hate. Riehmond as fast as we
can mend ,them.
This plan will be successfully executed if the Con
federate authorities do not devise a Method of de
fending the roads. It Is useless to repair if the car-.
ulry. can ride In about the-time-the work Is cotn
pieced and undo it In a couple-of hours. They must
defend. the roads by other.. means than the single
method hitherto attempted;beeause that method
has proven utterly and invariablyineffectual—there
has not been a solitary execution in the-cot:use of the
war. The single methoth yet imagined or tried is,
to sand-our Confederate cavalry in. pursuit of the
Yankee cavalry. But, asons-body.ochorse will go
as fast as another, those who_ have six hours start
are notevertuken before the goal is -reached. Atter
the destruction is done a.ed the Yankee raiders hare
to rslurn e they are sometimes met, and sometimes
not. When collision occurs, cur cavalry sometimes
beat.thom, as they did the other day. But the rail
road Is broken, and the heating-does not mend it.
The object being the Solvation..of• the roads, it is
clear that another means- should. be employed. It
Would-Seem to an observer that,Of all. kinds of com
munication, a railroad sho.ild . be the easiest to pre
serve and defend. Steam,is stronger than horse
flesh ; locomotives move faster than cavalry, and a
single train can transport a .large-body of troops
to any point on the line tn.r. few , hours. Bata large
body of troops is not/ r.acassary to obetuct the ad
vance of cavalry. A few hundred.picked and well
mpanted men can obstruct .roads.and.hushwack the
strongest raid till the Pursuing =airy overtakes
and destroys It. Only these few, hundred must be
before and not behind It.--rand the railroad can put.
both them and their horses where-they Will get be
foro it, if they and the...train to. convey them are
knt In perpetual readiness at a. depot. Hitherto
the militia has been relied on for that work. Is it
not time to discover that, this expectation Is a stupi
dity 1 The militia is composed .of stittlimbed alp
Men and little boys, both equally. unaccustomed to
arms. Yet they are,expected to peribrm the most.

can be demanded cfi the hardiestand most skillful

of body, and a coeler courage, than, any other what
ever. 'The man C7llO does it has.--to. close alone with
the enemy, and if caught is killed. For such a ser
.vice thorough sskliers are roeuired, and this or
some other plan-must be resorted to, if we would
save our roads.

MAID SEDVaIITS.—The only Way for c SSAIan to
secure peace and comfort in her household is to have
as few other women 'around her as possible, es
pecially in a dependent position. There is a natu
ral antagonism between them which will assert it
self in a thousand ways. How many Irish girls go
grumblingly to fulfil a kindly-uttered request on the
part of their mistress, who would run "like light
ning" to obey an order from their master 1 And,
strange to say, though it makes no sort of difference
to the head of the house whether his boots are
brushed by Bridget O'Brien or . Judy o'Callahan.
