The country, was on the verge ofdcivil war. The,civil and military I• . • service were demoralized. and dis: trust prevailed in every quarter. Ac tive military preparations ,were not long, delayed. and it became neeessa ryTto procure munitions of war and to make contracts for the . mobilizing and support of an army. Some of the early operations of the Government in this regard were so neutralized by the elisaffection of its trusted servants that the. Cabinet determined to and did appi%nt a commission of known loyalty to go to New Tork to pur chase supplies for the army. The, record shows that the suM of $2,000,- 000 was placed to the credit of this commission. of which only $lOO,OOO :was used. and the remaining $1.000,- 000 was covered back into the treas ury. -Meanwhile there wac- tre thendOus pressure for contract and for every person who received a con tract there was a score of disappoint ed ones. ,On Mr. Cameron fell - the diflicult and - thankless work of awarding these contracts, and on his shoulders most Of the resultant odi um.. DiSappointed applicants com plained to Members of Congress and finade broad charges - of favoritism. 'Secretary Cameron had incurred the ill-will - of Mr. Seward, Secretary of State.- by declaring that- the war would probably last for years, when Seward said it would be finished in ninety days. Ile s was regarded with distrust by the Secretaay of the Treasury on account of his alarming estimates Of expenditures, and cen sured by Attorney General Bates, a regular dullard . and legal -martinet, for accepting" 700,000 troops when the laW only- authorized the enlist ment of 500,000. The fact was that Secretary Cameron looked further into the future than any of his eel leagues, and came nearer taking in the true dimensions of the rebellion. These were'some 'of the causes oper ating against him at that time. Another was that he was an open advocate of arming the negroes, a proposition-which in the then de bauched condition of the public mind met with decided opposition from many respectable and conservative persons, It is to the, he honor of Mr, Cameron that he was one of the first public men to openly advo cate this measure of justice and de fence; ,and during the time lig acted as Secretary of War, a periottof less than twelve months, he rendered, great service in enforcing this policy and putting negro troops into the field. Early in 1862;Mr. Cameron was appointed Minister to .11ussia, and retired.' from the Cabinet. In April of that . year Mr. Holman, of this State, introduced . a resolution in the House, declaring that the late Secretary of Wary "by' involving the Government in a vast number of .egn `fillets," etc., had adopted al policy highly injurious to the public Service, and that he deserved the censure of the Himse. The country was excited, Congress dissatisfied, and Mr. Cam ,ercur a convenient victim.. The reso- lotion was passed by a' vote of 79 to 45, all the Democrats and some Re publicans voting for it. Shortly-.af terwards President Lincoln sent a message to Congress, in which;; after referring. to the resolntion, he pro ceeded to 'narrate' 'n•ery graphic style the difficulties tinder which he had lab - ored at the beginning and during 'the early months of his ad ministration, the public mind was stimne4 and the public will para. lyied. "There was," said President Lincolu,." no adequate nnd effective orranization for the pnblie defense. Vongre'ss had indefinitely adjourned. There was no time to conveneit.: It became necessary for 'Me to .choose whether, using only ithe existing means, agencies, and processes which Congress, had provided, I should at once let the government fall into ru in, or whether, availing myself of the brumler powers conferred by, the Constitution, in cases of insurrec tion. I would make an effort to save it, i with all its blessings, 'for the pres ent age and for posterity." In this sienation he said he summoned a meeting of his constitutional adVisors On: Sunday, April 20th, 1862, and then and there he himself, with the unanimous concurrence of his Cabi net, authorized Ind ordered the very things for which Secretary Cameron had been censured by Congress. Concluding, Mr. Lineolnsaid: ; "Con (tress will 'see that I would b want ings, equally in candor and in justice if I should leave the censure express ed in this resolution to rest exclu sively or chiefly upon Mr. Cameron. The same sentiment is unanimously entertained by, the heads of depart ments et who participated in_ the. pro ceedings which the Hot* of Repre sentatives has censured. :It is due to' Mr. Cameron to say that, although he fully approved the proceedings, , they were not moved nor suggested by himself, and that not .only . the President,• but all the .other beads of departments. were at least equally, responsible with him for whatever et. , rot, wrong, or fault was committed in the premises." This just and gen; erous message of the President was a' complete vindication of the late Sec retary from the charges , which had.' been so vindictively pushed against him, and yet he was Allowed to rest under them for nearly thirteen years. During all the intervening period Mr. Cameron has been in public life,' the recipient of .his full share of ' Democratic abuse,. and not until a few months ago did the House of Representatives see fit to remove the censure which President Lincoln had declared to be so undeserved. On ,the 2d of last March Mr. Scofield in trodheed the following : ! . WIIEREA:ii, The •House lof Reprsenta tiveson theMth day of April ,1862, adopt ed,a resolution censuric.g Simon Cameron for certain alleged irregular proceedings as :.k.crkary of -War, in the .matter. of Purchasing military supplies at the out break of the-rebellion', and 1 . WnEnEAs, On the 26th daY of the en suing; month the then I President, of the • Cnired States, Abraham Lincoln, in a spe cial message to CongresS, assumed for the Executive Department of the Government the full responsibility of the !Rsoceedings complained of declaring in said message that he should be equally.wanting in can-, dor and in justice if he ~should leave the censure to rest exclusiVely or chiefly on Mr.i Cameron, and added that it was due to Mr. Cameron to say that, idthough he fully approved the proceedings, they were not moved nor suggested byhim, and that not only the Pycsident, but an the other heads of departments were at least equal ly responsible with him for Whatever er ror, wrong,. or fault was committed in the premiSes ; therefore, , Rtxrdred, That this House, as an act of personal justice to Mr. Cameron and as a eorreetion of its own records,' hereby di rects that said resolution be rescinded, mid that the rescission be 'entered on. the margin of the Jtmena/ where said resolu tion is recorded. This resolution ryas pasSed .unani mouslyouid it should be recorded to the • credit of the DeiniOckatic mem bers of -the House that not 'one 'of. them Voted against it. Its paisage, iti not, to be regarded as a i personal triumph of Mr - . Cameron,. but simply as an act of justice, and on 'admission on the part of Congress ! that the res olution of censure was undeserved. It was an outgrowth of the times, and ah unworthy concession to' the . spirit which made it fashionable to . abuse a man who has done much for the cause of freedom, and who dills, never yet betrayed it. Senator-Catn eron is now well advanced! in years, and in the course of nature must be near the close of his public career. He has the gratification, as Thomas - Benton had, of living to see a Con gressional resolution of censure 'ex pugned.by a solemn vote of the bOdy which passed it, and it is not likely ; that he will allow the closing yea:l.s 'of his' public life to be materially embittered by the attackS of those Democratic editors who may be classed as the very small fry of polit icalovermin. igl ••• --', • \ LIVE CHEERFULLY. One of the most important things in bringing up children to be good men and women is to have them live a pleasant and genial home atmos phere.

Many • little things will conduce to this end. One is, to have plenty •of gaines around the house and let the parents join in them with the children. Another and far more important is, we think, the eultiVa don of musical taste in your child ren. Let them have as much music as possible.. Invite • people who,e:ui play and sing bright music, and let the children hear iL There is noth ing to prevent children with ordinary taste and ear from taking up-music as naturally as reading qnd writing.

A gentleman says, after suffering excruciating pain from ,this, ache, and having tried in vain to obtain relief, Betty told me a gentleman had been waiting sometime in the parlor, who said he would not detain me one minute. He came—w- friend I had not seen for years. He sympailliZed with me, while I briefly told how sad 1y I was afflicted. "My dear friend," exclainied he, "1 can cure you in ten minutes." "flow? how ?" inquired I. " it. in pity." " Instantly," said he. " Betty, have you any . alum ?" Yes.". "Bring it, and some common salt." They were produced ; my friend pulverized them. - mixed, in equal quantities ; then wet a small piece of cotton, causing the mixed powders to adltere, and placed it in my hollow tooth. "There," said he, "if that does not cure you I will forfeit my head. You may tell this in Grath and publish it in • Askelon ; - the remedy is It was so. I experienced a sensa tion of coldness on applying it, which gradually subsides, and with it the torment of the toothache GRACE DABIEEIG. Off the coast of Northamberla and outside, so to speak, of the F roe Islands, 'lies the Longstone— rock abort . four feet above high-wa ter mark, and swept by every gale withlierce drifts of spray and foam. Here, about six miles from the shore, is planted 'a light-house, which has been found of great use to the coast ing vessels navigating these danger ous waters. Seven and thirty years ago its keeper was 'named , Darling. He had a daughter, Grace—a quiet, modest, well-behaved girl, whose name, through one noble action, will forever - behonored among women. One dark night in September, 1838, the. Imlarshire, a' Hull steamer, struck suddSnly on a ; reef, called the Harears, in the vicinity of the light house. She had on board sixty-three persons, including passengers and crew. :Their signals of distress were observed from the light-house. It was impossible for, Darling ; the keep: , er to pull off in. his boat alone ; no single arm could have impelled it through the raging sea that then 'pre vailed. 'With admirable courage; OrgeeD o• arlin resolved to assist him • on his noble errand. She sprang in to the skiff, and over the bounding billows father and daughter gallantly made theVi way. Their, lives hung up on a thread: , but the brave girl never bated jot of heart.or hope, and rowed with all the Vigor which a noble en thusiasm is apt to inspire. They reached the whip and took off nine persons, with whom they contrived •to reach thilidight-hOuse. Nineinore escaped in one of the steamer's boats; all the rest perished.' • 'Grace Darling did ,not live Many . years after the event which Made her famous. She was interred in the old Chapel on Holy Island, and an epi taph to her memory was , composed by the poet Wadsworth: The maiden, gentle, yet at duty's call Firm and unflinching as the light-house reared On the Island rock her only dwelling-place': Or, like the brvlsll4e rock Itself, that braves. • Age after age, the hostile elements,: :As when It guarded holy Cuthbert's cell.- Men and - women are extinct—they died . about sixty years ago, and left no heirs.

A pious minister in South Corolina, but a great believer in certain weather signs, was asked to petithipthe throne of grace for refreshing showers.

Et Grand speech by joy dlstntod. The two most common subjects of complaint with wives and mothers of limited income ni this and other large cities are, that-they are debarred from society by the expense of the ordinary methods of hospitality; and secondly, that the habits of city life separate them from the companion ship of their children. The wife of a man in Moderate circumstances tells you that she cannot afford.- to give balls, kettle-drums, or even dinners to her friends ; that her boys and girls scurry otf to school after a hur ried brealifast, and dine at noon alone . ; foi•, being a woman of -sense, she - will not allow UlOl to eat the heavest meal of the day at h or 7,0 M. the hour when their father comes home to dinner. The family dinner at midday, and the evening tea of in land towns, at which parents and children gather about the table and learn to know one another through the interests and feelings .of every day,,are almost unknown in the' mine grade of • social city life. Now we suggest that the luncheon is a meal of , undeveloped opportlu►ities to the houskeeper and mother. We do not by any means refer to the elaborate state lunches given by leaders of fashion during the last two or three years, where the floral decorations alone cost a liberal annual income. But there is iio reasomwhy any house keeper should not, with a little per sonal trouble, convert her children's dinner into a delicately served savor) meal to which she could invite juror. malty two or three of her lady friends. It is emphatically a wo man's meal; and husbands need not hint cynically that the chief dish will be gossip. There is no better talk than that of three , or four cultured,, eleVer . women, alone 'together; none which Would be more, civilizd and effective on children. llow is a child to acquire good breeding if it, is . not brought socially into contact with well-bred people. American children in cities.are crammed with all kinds of knowledge, but they .are left to the companionship of servants and one another ; • who can blame them if they too• often, betray the ideas and manners of the kitchen and the ball . groUnd. The dishes .on the 11inch-table should be light L-but prettily served; A meal of cold meats, pickles, creams, fruit, thick chocolate, with dry toast, etc.; can be more easily made attrac tive, as every experienced housekeep-' er knows, than theLb'eavy courses of a dinner. It is -advisable, too, for this:noonday meal, to cover the table warmly: . The niajority of economical housewives buy the plain white china for every-day use, but it has, to us, a chilly and meagre air in conjunction with the ordinary snowy napery. There are equally cheap sets of both English and French China of deli cate and rich colors, which, under skillful handling, convert an ordinary meal into a picture. The most beau tiful and (where:them is any garden room) the cheapest tablii decoration 'is, ,of course,' flowers.

" The oldest place of religions wor , Iship in Pennsylvania is , a friend's Mectin , T 7 honse, erected in 1695, in Lower ° Merton town - ship, about five miles from PliiladelPhin.", It may be the oldest place , of religious worship in Pennsylvania .no*:standing. In 1848 the Swedes ihnilt and consecrat." ed their first church ;at Tinleum, now in Delaware county, hinlin 1677 they' built another Swedes' church in Southwark. In 1700 the latter was replaced by the present building, which is thus, Its . a place of public worship, eighteen: years older than the - Merion Meeting-house, while it is live years younger as a house for public worship. The writer• in the .Intefligencer gives 'inbrief form and with, sufficient acctifacy of detail, a •elear view of the heiierogeneous char acter of the population of Pennsyl vania, a century and a, half ago. The Swedes : were first on• the ground, and built :along the 'Delaware river and its tributaries. Then came the. Dutch, and subsequently the English, with I'cnn, who founded Philadelphia, and filled up Delaware and parts of Ches tei, Montgomery,,Bucks, awl Lan easter counties. The Welsh followed, ekteilded the . settlements to llerif,s county sued along the Schuyl -1011 aK Gtr as Beading. The Scotch-Irish, and Germans completed the nationalities, moving here in great numbers, although New-En .. . (*hinders from Connecticut settleil along the Wyoming Valley, and Hol landers and French Huguenots in the southern part of Bucks county. AIL of these. people have left traces of their early settlements in the names of towns, villages, and eoun tics, and in thel, family names of Pennsylvania. The great - mass of settlers—the English, (leniians and . Welsh—belonged to religious socie- ties or sects which were averse to war, and it is related that it was this fact which determined the location . Of the Scotch-Irish along the Susque 7 : hanna and Juniata, and in Lancaster county -7--the frontier of the settle ments—where they could defend their inure peaceful neighbors from Indian depredations.. Their public . services in those days drive been con tinued to the present time, some of Pennsylvania's most noted Governorsand Representatives of recent times bearing the names of their Scotch-Irish's progenitors.— : Pole :$ Own, y Inlelliejenrer. • SXETPH OF A 'ln DAME Charley Hall, engaged in freights inn from Fort Randall, to Spotted Tail agency, gives us, says the Sioux City Journal, some interesting par ticulars concerning. the sun dance held the Sioux on the 10th of i mte, on Bordeaux creek, twelve miles from Spotted Tail agency.
