The stare above so thickly spread,

And show man where to find his bread
Like silver rain the light will fall
From rosy morning's torch of flame,

And the wise beaver builds his dam.
The sun looked from the sky and smiled,
And earth awoke with soft of bliss,
As wakes the sweet and smiling child,

An Appeal.
MR. EDI±OR :—Past history furnishes
.ample evidence of the danger of a
union of the eivil and ecclesiasti:ml
.departments of human government;
but many of the benefits and blessings
of life are the results of their harmo
nious %corking together. The line of
separatioc between the province of
benevolence and that:of civil legisla . -
tion oscillates with the advancement
must have civil laws by which Crcesus
may enforce or cant his claims
against Lazarus, and we must not
have civil authority to compel a citi
zen to take tip, and dress the wounds
of the traveler who has Men among
thieves: but the principle of benevo
lence with powerful sanctions forbids
Crcesus committing Lazarus to the
"tender mercy" of dogs, and sweetly
coristraine - the neighbor to take tender
care of the stranger who has fallen
amongst theivcs.
One of the greatest light's of the pre
sent age, both in theological and phi
losophical•lore, was so deeply impres
sed with the danger of the civil en
croaching upon the benevolent depart
ment, that he advocated the doctrine
tliat the poor Fates and levies in Scot
land should be expunged from the civil
-statute book, and emanate freely from
the province of benevolence.
Now, WO can conceive of such a
Mate of society as would justify the
doctrine of the immortal Chalmers, but
it is not our high privilege to enjoy it:
on the contrary,-`se need the harmo
nious interaction of both theSe depart•
ments. .
Our country has fallen amid
thieves, robbers and perjured villains,
but it faltere . pilit nor , quailed with ton
thouspltlliggers pointed at its heart.
struggle has been 'a protracted
.and fearful one against the combined
„powers of earth and hell; and we may
truly say with the . ancient prophet,
that bad not God been upon our side
we would have fallen under the pow
-era of darkness. Never since the his
of ancient Israel, has the hand of
God been so visible as it has been in
-our present struggle for national exis
tence. At first our Executive had but
-to stamp upon the ground and the lov
-ere of human liberty flocked to his
:standard by huntlreds of thousands.—
`This cruel war has continued over
- three years, the power or rebellion is
'still decreasing, the rebels begin to
:feel they are in the throes of death,
- that they have lost their power, and
that their long cherished institution,
for. the perpetuation of which they
.have deluged our land with blood, is
falling to pieces by their own folly,
and that slavery shall soon be written
with things that are past. But in an
ticipation of final triumph, have we
done, and are we doing, all that we
-should do, to mitigate the suffering of
those who have so valiantly stood be
tween our peaceful homes,and ruthless
rebels who have been struggling for
three long years to break down our
model goVernment, desolate.our land
and roll us back into the dark ages Of
•
anarchy and ruin.
No civil government has done so
much for the benefit of their armies as
ours has done; but it is obvious that it
is not possible for our civil authority
to reach all the claims which our sick,
wounded and dying soldiers have upon
us, and therefore our Sanitary and
Christian Commissions have risen out
of the province of benevolence, in or
der to alleviate those sufferings
amongst our soldiers, which could be
reached in no other way You search

ded, the benignant and unpaid labors
of agents, and listen to the testimony
of the sufferers, and you must conclude
that our Christian Commission has the
seal of one of the strongest evidences
of the living power of Christianity.--
We again ask the question, Have we
done all that we should do for the ben
efit of our suffering soldiers? We
have no sympathy for . that coercive
agrarianism of radical politicians,
which would break down all incent
ives to virtuous industry; but we have
strong faith in that benevolence which
labors to equalize the comforts of our
race, beginning at home, and first
emongSt those who_ have been our
benefactors, where benevolence is only
the hand-maid ofJustiee. And where
can we look for such , objects of our
kind regards if not amongst the thou
sands of our sick, wounded and dying
soldiers, and those, who are -in cruel
captivity.
The Christian' Commission has been
doing benevolent work on a huger
scale than any voluntary institution
of the kind to be found upon the pa
ges of history ; but we think its means
might be greatly enlarged, and its
field of usefulness extended. Up to
the present time its funds have been
in a great measure supplied by the
rich whose profusion_has ministered
its benevolent labors. All that is now
wanted to make the institution the
admiration of the world is, to forth
such organizations as will appeal to
every benevolent heart, collect the
widows' mites, and the childrens' pen
nies, and give all an easy opportunity
of contributing to the comfort of those
who-have contributed so freely to se
cure our peaceful firesides at such fear
ful exptiise,to themselves. And hero,
without dictation, it is respectfully
suggested, that if each county in the
State and in every other State, would
get up a proper organization, and con
duct it with spirit, the aggregate of
such collections would - be immense.—
Now, suppose good old _Huntingdon
county would set OM example, and try
the experiment. Few towns of the
same size contain as many profession
al men who make an open profession
of Christianity. as Huntingdon. Then
let there be a county convention called,
let there be a large central committee
appointed, whose duty it might be to
manage the affairs of the association,
let there be a sub-committee appointed
for each towr ship and borotigh, let
them call meetings or see to it that
every family be visited, and requested
to contribute something for the sot ,
diem' comfort . . It such action should
be taken in every county, and each
association become auxiliary to the
Christian Commission, the sacrifice
made by each individual would be
small,. and the comfort communicated
would transcend all calculation. Will
not some individuals have sufficient
courage to call such a meeting, and try
the experiment? Every benevolent
gift tends to expand the human heart,
and renders subsequent acts of kind
ness more pleasant, and every mite
given might cool a burning fever, or
wipe away a widow's tear.
WHAT TUT SUN DoEs.—Leaving out
of account the eruption of Volcanoes,
and the ebb and flow of tho tides, eve
ry mechanical action on the earth's
surface, every Manifestation of power,
organic or inorganic, vital and physi
cal, is produced by the sun. His heat
keeps - the sea liquid, and the atmos
phere a gas, and the storms which agi
tate both, are blown by the mechani.
cal force of the sun. Ho lifts the riv
ers and the glaciers up the mountains,
and thus the cataract and the aval
anche shoot with an energy derived
immediately from him, Thunder and
lightning are also his transmitted
strength. .EVery fire that burns and
every dame that glows dispenses heat,
and light which originally belonged to
the aun. In these days, unhappily,
the news of battle is familiar to us, but
every shock and every charge is in ap.
plication or misapplication of the me

the trumpet, urges the projectile, ho
bursts the bomb. And remember this
is pot poetry, but rigid mechanical
truth. He rears, as have said, the !
whole vegetable world, and through it
the animals; the lillies of the field are
his workmanship, the vendure of the'
meadows, and the cattle upon a thous
! and hills. He urges the blood, he
builds the brain. His fleetness is in
the doer's foot; he springs in the pan
ther; he soars in the eagle; he slides
in the snake. lie builds the forest and
hews it deWn, the power which raised
the trees and wields the axe being ono

blossoms and the scythe of the mower
swings, by the operation of the same
tome. The sun digs the ore lroni the
mines; he rolls the iron ; he rivets the
plates; he bails the water; he draws
the train. He not only grows the cot
ton, but, ho spires the-fiber and weaves
the web. There is not a hammer rais
ed, a wheel turned, a shuttle thrown,
that is not raised and thrown by the

Can't,

a good worth"
"But I can't father. And if I can't
I can't. I'v:e tried, and tried, and the

"Suppose you try again, Edward,"
said Mr. Williams, the father of the
discouraged boy.
"There's no use in it," replied the
"What if you go to school to.mor
row, without, the correct answer to
the sum ?"
"I'll be put, down in my class," re
turned Edward.
Mr. WUliarmi shook his head, and
his countenance assumed a grave as
pect. There was a silence of a few
moments, and the father said:
" Let me relate to you a true story,
lay son. Thirty years ago, two lads
about your age were school compan
ions. Both got on well for a time;
but as their studies grew difficult, both
suffered discouragement, and each said
often to his father, as you said to me,
'I can't.' One of - these boys whose
name is Charles, had a brighter mind
than the other, and could get • through
his •t:iyk easio,r4...but, Lis-father- was•
very indulgent to him, and, when he
complained that his lessons were too
hard, and said, can't do this,' and,
I can't do that,' ho requested . the
teacher not to be so hard with kiln.
"But it was different with the father
of tbb other boy, named Henry. To
every complaint lie anewered, 'don't
give it up, my boy I Try again. You
can do it—l know you can.'
"Thus encouraged, this lad perse
vered, and in every ease, overcame the
difficulties in his way. Soon, although
his mind was not so active as his com
panions, he was in advance of him.—
When they left the school, which was
about, the same time, lie was far the
best scholar. Why was this? Ho did
not give up because his task was hard;
for he had learned this important les•
son—that we can do almost anything
if we try.
'Well, these two boys grew up to
wards manhood, and it become neces•
sary for them to enter upon some busi•
Deb's. Charles was placed by his fath
er in the offico'of a physician; but he
did not stay there long. Ho found it
difficult in the beginning, to remem
ber the names and uses of the various
organs of the body, and soon became
so much dhiboitraged, that lt;s father
thought it best to alter his intention
regarding him and put him into 'a mer
-ehant's room, instead of continuing
him as a student of medicine. Hero
Charles remained until he became of
ago. Some years afterwards be went
into business for himself, and gpt on
pretty well for a time; but every
young man who enters the world de
pendent •upon his own efforts, meets
with difficulties that only courage,
confidence and perseverance can over
come. Ho must never think of 'giving
up. Unfortunately for Charles, these
virtues did not make a part of his
character. When troubles and diffi.
culties camo,•he sunk under a feeling
of discouragement and he 'gave up' at
a time when all that was needed fur
final success was a spirit of indomita
ble perseverance, that removes all ob
stacles. Ho sunk to rise no more.—
In giving up the struggle, ho let go
his hope in the future—and ore he had
reached the prime of life, he found
himself shattered in fortune, and
without the energy of character neces
sary to repair it.
"In the same office where Charles
was placed, Henry was entered as a
student of medicine. At first when he
looked into the books of anatomy, and
read the names of bones, muscles,
nerves, arteries, &c., it seemed to. him
that he could never learn these names,
much less their various uses in the
human body. For a time he gave way
to the feeling of discouragement, but
then he thought of the many bard
tasks he had learned by application,
came over his mind, and with the
words 'don't give up,' on his tongue,
ho would apply with renewed efforts.
Little by little he acquired the knowl
edge he was seeking. Daily he learn
ed sonfotbing, and it was not long be
fore lie could look back and mark the
steps of his progress. This encouraged
him greatly. Soon new and greater
difficulties presented themselves; but
encouraged by past triumphs, he en
countered them in a confident spirit,
and came off conqueror.
"Thus Henry wont on, 'while Chailes

SHERMAN.
The Beginning of his Movement—What
he did Before he Started—His Pratt.
ble Course—The Points open to his
Blows—The Character of the Country
—His Force and that Opposed to _Ulm
. —Chances in Favor of Success.
Since the rebel papers have seen fit
to , announee to their readers that their
War Department had received "start
ling news" from Sherman, and at the
same time have shown no desire to
publish it, and since, according to it
dispatch in our telegraphic columns,
the rebels have refused of late to ex
change papers, public curiosity has a
right to be highly aroused, and to
wonder where Sherman is, and what
ho is doing. There are two theories
relative to this mysterious and bold
advance. PirSt, that he is marching
towards the Atlantic coast with hostile
intentions on the rebel prison pens
and on the cities of Savannah and
Charleston ; and the other is that he
is advancing on Mobile. The first is
the general Northern theory, because
Sherman hinted it darkly in a letter to
aWestern Sanitary Commission agent; .
because oursn.trering-prisorreive :iec all
-in — lffiltifirection; because it would
cut the Confederacy in two, and gir
dle all that part in which the rebellion
throbs with the intensest life—North
Carolina and Virginia—and because
his officers and men believe he is go
ing there. The rebels seem to lean to
the latter theory, because the last
dates they had from him came from
AlabaMa, and because a great
fleet of Union transports and war
vessels have been coneentrating in the
harbor of Mobile. Our readers can
judge for themselVes from this brief
statement of the -reasons and facts
that support the two theories whieb is
the most likely—which, if carried out,
would be the most advantageous to
the Union cause. Mobile is 270,
Charleston 230, and Savannah 210
miles from Atlanta in a direct line.
To the east of Macon add ono hun
dred and seventy miles southeast of
Atlanta lies Andersonville, and short
distances to the northwest and south
east lie other pens in which our sol
diers aro murdered by slow tortures.
There are no 'topographical difficulties
between Atlanta and Mobile, but the
country is not half so well adapted
for the supply of an advancing army
of invaders. There are no topograph
ical difficulties between Atlanta and
Charleston and Savannah, but the
country is fruitful, and an army can
live.
TL. muyementB Sherman, how
ever, point out with sufficient clear
ness what his objects may be. After
a few strategic . moves, by which ho
drew Hood Out of Georgia, and plant
ed him oc the shores of the Tennessee,
at Florence, Alabama, he suddenly
makes a dart at right angles to his
former course, and returns to Atlanta,
arriving there November 7th—flood
having then, and probably having
now, four weak corps, under Leo,
Chatham and Taylor, amounting in
all to about 25,000 men, five thousand
cavalry, and about 70 pieces of artil
lery. He left the army of the Cum
berland, 35,000 strong, under Thomas,
to entertain this rebel company, while
he hied hint away South, to c.frry out
other plans, every day !caving the ,
army that would have impeded his
march miles on miles in his rear. On
November oth Sherman had 47,000
men, 10,000 of whom were cavalry.=
These he divided into two columns,
the first of which he marched along
the railroad to Macon. On NoveMber
12th; the Second column Moved to
ward Augusta, where it is believed the
programme was to unite for further
operations. On the 10th the army in
camp and the army on the march
stretched along the Macon railroad as
far down as the Chattaboochie river,
which river is crossed by the railroad
eight miles I - forth of Atlanta. To the
rear-guards were assigned the task of
burning everything combustible in the
whole con otry from Atlanta to Dalton.
This work, wo believe, has been thor
oughly done. Every town and hamlet
has bocri destroyed; Atlanta is a heap
of ashes, and the inhabitants have all
been sent to Nashville. They were
mostly woinen and children, the men
having gone South, either voluntarily
or compulsorily. On the night of the
12th the last torch had been applied,
and Sherman's axiom was again veri
fied-nova resting place for an enemy
was lett in his rear. The last train of
cars left Atlanta on the morning of the
12th ; the railroad was destroyed to
Dalton ; all communication with Sher
man ceased, and his subsequent move
ments have been involved in utter
mystery. Cast loose from all base
lines, afloat in the very midst of rebel
lion, but with a steady, fearleSs and
skilful pilot to guide, our army is even

now, at its work of crushing treason,
and building up a restored Union out
of the ruins of a diVided and deVasta
ted Confederacy.
But to return to speculation. The
movement seems hazardous, but from
Sherman's record, and tho fact that
opposition to his march can only be
made 'by militia and such reinforce
ments as Lou may daro'to send from
Richmond, wo naturally conclude that
where so much is risked there must
be something great, something impor
tant to' bo gained. Mobile, in this
tsiew, cannot be the place. Its-value
Farragut long ago destroyed.'- The
capture . of Charleston 'or Savannah
will divide the Confederacy, open two
of its ports to us, and enable. us to
carry on the war with aline of emu
munications stretching, not over the
land, constantly open to attack, and
at all times hard to maintain, but over
ti:e• sea, where wo fear no enemy,'
where we are supreme. Savannah is
the nearest point, and in its fall is na

Like most of the other cities of the
South, it is not caple ()Liana-de=

country stretches out behind it level
and flat, with just enough wood to in=

defences are very iniperfeet, and engi
peering skill can scarcely :improve
them. Even if they were of the high
est style of art, there are no men to
defend them, except they be drawn
from Richmond, to its great detriment.
But suppose it could be rapidly rein
forced, a long Beige would be the re
suit, and supplies of sufficient amount
cannon be . centred in the city; or if
they are, the problem is the same as
that offered at Atlanta, and a blew to
the single railroad would marvelously
diminish the supply of hard tack and
bacon. This city lies 18 miles from
Fort Pulaski, which is in our hands.
The river has been thoroughly oh: -

by stores landed from our fleet, be

nor Labor, without both of these in
combination. How is it that in the
course of these latter ages these two
have diminished their respect for each
other? The !mail has said to the hand,
I have no need of thee,' and the hand
has said to the head, have no need
of thee.' How is it that these two, who
ought to be indisoluble friends, have
been thus disunited? It is too true
that the world has an idea in its eroch
ety bead that work is disgraceful ;
that spades, plows and hammers are
dishonorable things; that it is inele
gant to plead guilty to the crime of
soiled hands; but man in order to be
a true man, Must be. cured el' this in
sanity, and be Convinced that it is
more dishonorable to skulk through
the world without working, relying
upon his wits, which latter often .fail
ono in the hour and et the time when .
most needed. Mental labor may COM
bine nobly with manuallaboe, and in
illustration of this, it is neticeable that
there have been many men confined
to the loom, to the -flail, ithe. hammer,
and the shoemaker's bench, whose in
tellectual attainments Intro amazed
the world; and who, Prom- the various
departments they hare so worthily
filled, hare added to the stores and
treasures of their country's genius and
intellectual worth.

A bold, hopeful man inspires cour

A little girl sleeping by her mothei4
side awoke in a severe thunder
and, nestling in tOrioV near tck the
mother, and shrinking into . the sinajj•
est possible space, said, trembling,
"Mother, aro you-afraid ?".
"No, my deal," ansvered the hidy
calmly. •
"0, well," said the child, ai;Sluirn ^ g
her full proportions, and disPoiipg
self for sleep, "if you're not I y m
not afraid," and was soon shaintbeiirig•
quietly.

this increased tendency to maid-a , pcitli
