unpalatable and of leas therapeutic value. The repug
nance, nausea, 84c., to invalids, induced by disgust of the
Oil, is entirety obviated by the use of our CAPSULES.

One knows not to what article the palm should
be awarded. Professor Agassiz leads off with a
paper, such as he best efin write, upon Methods of
Study In Natural History. We have Nathaniel
Hawthorne describing old Boston, (in England,)
and his visit to it; Emerson pleasantly discoursing
on Old, Ago, somewhat in the manses of G..
Coun
try Parson, only with more power; George S.
lld
lard, sound critic as he is, discussing the merits of
Cooper, tbo novelist ; Wm. Dorsheimor, of Buffalo,
chronicling Fromontls la Missouri,
the Rev. D. A. Wasson pleasantly writing about
Light Literature ; and Prof. A. D. White, of the
University of Michigan, treating of Jefferson fitc gn
early, consistent, and persistent anti•elavery man.
Moreover, Dr. George D. Windship, the modern
Samson, auto-biographically relates by what
&pining, of mind as well as of body, he educated
himself into such a development of muscular power
as has enabled him, a small man, weighing less
than one hundred and fifty pounds, to lift a weight
of 1,010 pounds, adding " I have A:sod three thou
sand pounds as my we iditS ultra." Mrs. Stovia's

Spirited and real—is the commencement of Love

Which makes us the more deeply lament his un
timely fate—though kit doial 6 battle was 4 sip
rims ending for such a heroic genius. There is
some poetry—the more noticeable piece being a
new Biglow Paper, by Professor James Russell
Lowell, consisting of a letter in verse from Birdo]
fredom Sawin, Esq. Much as wo object to the
fashion of that literature which caricatures, by bad
spelling (Thackeray has much to answer for in this
respect), we admit and admire the wit of Mr.
Lowell's quaint production. On the whole, this
new number of the Atlantic Monthly is very
much what a S.-A-01.*0 magazine ought to bo, and
we report it as having creditably passed its exami

the desk, and receive their medal of honor_

It is probable that, in the present condition of

trated volumes are not for Christmas alone, but,
from their happy union of art and 4ter ft tm, for
all pewee, limy expect to have a demand for their
publications of past years. Ticknor & Fields have
published an edition of Tennyson's " In Memo

and a superb ono-volume edition of Sir Thomas
Brown's Writings (including. the Religio Medial,

The loyalty. pride of ancestry, and benevolence
of the Scotch are proverbial the world over, and
ehttrlieterietiCS were strikingly developed. at
the last (113th) anniversary of this society. They
had met to pay up their yearly Subscriptions for
the relief of such of their fellow-countrymen as
might Pee l oll4. their all. The ennuai dinner tiad
been postponed—in view of the times and of the
number of their brethren upon the tented field—
and an informal supper was substituted, in eller
that the time-honored custom of the interchange of
pleasing and appropriate sentiments upon St. An
drew's Day should not be interrupted. The trea
sury having been replenished, they adjourasd to
the festal hall. After the customary toasts had been
duly given and received, the following volunteer
sentiment was offered: "The Officers of the St.
Co,let w —worthy successors of an honor•
ed line," and Macgregor Miteheson, Esq., one of
the counsellors of the society, was called on to re
spond to it That putleutau at once complied,
and, after acknowledging in fitting terms
the compliment thus paid to himself as being
the yOungest officer in the society, paid a
glawing to hate to the memory of ninny mem
bers of the society whose names had figured
conspicuously in the history of the nation from the
moment of the signing of the Declaration of Job
pendency, and even earlier in ColoniaL times,
down to a period within the memory of all present.
Be then concluded by expressing the hope that the
officers and members of the society would prove
themselves worthy of their illustrious ancestry by
emulating the noble examples that they had left
on record—and referred to some of the benevolent
end petrietie efforts of the day that merited gene..
revs consideration. A subscription paper, prepared
by the secretary ; George Young, Esq., was at once
headed by David Milne, who occupied the chair,
and tamed round the table from hand to hand
for a special contribution by the members. A
large, sum was raised by this impromptu effort; .
and, on motion of Dr. Lawrence Turnbull, forty
dollars was appropriated to the Volunteer Refreth
ment Saloons, and a still larger amount to other
equally noble uses. This incident speaks well for
the generous impulses of the race, and might be re- `
membered with advantage by others. No honest
artisan or farmer, now suffering in Old Scotia from
hard times, need fear to come to this part of Attie
ride to lobg cc the venerable St. Andrew's Society
of Philadelphia continues its mission of loyal Chris
tian beneficence.

were -very humble—carrying bundles, arranging

on more important labors, and it was still found
that whatever he did was well done. A position

But I will give another case. The ex-Ilon. (now'

with four regiments, soma 811 A * Rd d tty
cavalry, and six field pieces; also having one hun

proposed to give them two wagon loads if they
would let the rest alone, which they agreed to do;
but returned and said his corn was the dryost they

they paid him in TolEhnis.4 , ee money.
They also went across the river to Ira Elliott's,
who had about eighty-five head of good, fat hogs.
They drove seventy to the river, opposite Roches

miry.
[From the Richmond Examiner, Dec. 11.]
The Congress of the Confederate States seems to
be awakened to the great public necessity of Will
ing an itrea; ) , of rogalarly organised and veteran
troops. The large bounty which it now offers for
long enlistments, and the inducements which it
holds out to the twelve-months' volunteers to en
gage themselves for a service of them, ‘,lll
go far tOWardS procuring the material of a sub
stantial and disciplined army. We fear, however,
that it will be found,-before this war is ended, that
all plane for raising good troop; except that prao
tleod and relied on by all the military nations of
the world in this and past ages, will be found to be
only expensive and uncertain makeshifts. Eng
land and Anglo-Saxon America, among tlAo
sturdiest, hut, at alee among . the most
unmilitary nations of the whole earth, alone
employ the system of voluntary enlistment
in the formation of their armies. All other
fighting races and warlike governments have
created, and now create, their armies by con
scription or draft, That alone falls equally
on all parts of the population ; that alone
is sure to bring forth the material that
AMP needs ; that alone gives the host which
the Government can use as a workman his
tool of steel. Whether this war will continue long
enough to force the Confederate States over the
prejudices of race to this simple and etresti,
sure, may be doubted ; but we feel assured that be
fore another year of it is ended, that Government,
people and army, will have all come to the con
clusion that the creation of inferior WNW?, if not
of m 4- la. pieced under the absolute control
of the Executive of the confederacy. In this one
thing is rho radical difference between the organi
zations called militia, volunteers and regulars. The
Privates of the first are the hest man of the coun
try; they are the worst soldiers, because their offi
cers are in reality not officers at all, but the indi
viduals in the whole force that are the most com
pletely reprerentittives and types of those where
they should, but cannot, command. Just in pro
portion as the origin of the officers is independent
of the men will be their power to control them ;
and in the same proportion will the army organiza
tion be found effective in the

The Rebel General Price Not Superseded'.

at the head of the present rebellion. The source
from whence this information comes is perfectly re
liable, the person furnishing the same having been
a resident of Charleston for a long time, and having
left there but a short time dace. A.c.oordiag to the
statement of this person, it would appear that, at
the North, the public mind is entirely led.astray by
the supposition that in Charleston there can be found
nothing but the most rapid and bloodthirsty sped.
mane et SCGCSoIOII fanatics ; that the ardor of Union
ism, which has so enthusiastically burst forth at the
North, has not the smallest kindred spark of recipro
city among the people of Charleston, and that all the
noble love of free lostitutioas, republ ican ideas, and
reverence for the Constitution of the United States
have sunk back into the severed , hearts of rebeldom
without a single thought of the magnitude accom
panying the sacrifice. But this seems to ho a
wrong impression formed of the feelings now agi
tating' a large majority of this- community ; and
though the Palmetto flag flaunts its horrid outlines
in every sunbeam that glances on the housetops of
Charleston, yet there is an aud-ii-r-current of en
thusiastic Union sentiment softly slumbering in the
bosoms of thousands, awaiting an opportunity to
burst forth, in order to overthrow the black pall of
SeCersienisin which koebeit down.
And no wonder that this should be so. The whole
city looks at present more like the Deserted Vil
lage," which Goldsmith speaks of thlin that of the
metropolis of a State which boasts s much of its
"chivalry" and "fair women." The poorer
classes of the population—that is, those who are
unable to take up arms in defence of the sacalled
" Confederate States " . —are in the most abject state
of suffering and destitution. Common necessaries
of food are put up at the most exorbitant
. prices.
women and children may be seen traversing the
principal thoroughfares with pale and haggard couu

Dread made of rite meal, and other articles of a
similar natnre,.are the prineipal food of these poorer
classes, and it is with much difficulty that they can
procure the same. Coffee is seventy-five cents pse
pound; s. pleas of soap which forizarly might
purchase& for flair cents, now brings thirty ; nkie
cents worth of eamphene now brings forty cents,.
and all other articles of a like character
are as dear in propertion, Added to. this,
daily outrages are being perpotnatell upon innocent
and unoffending citizens by lies lawless soldiery
who pass through the streets.. And now these eir
euinstances are beginning to open the eyes.of most
of the people, and SCAM aka tech a ;foie more
philosophically upon the, musses which have brought
down this want and ruia upon their beads. They
look kaiak with sorrowful hearts to the. days of their

the avenging arm which threatens the tyrants of
their destiny may soon descend and release them
from the lethargy of oppression, That their prayer

fraught with tis . 0t I.33teme exeltenient and re•

An Irish regiment had been organized in Charles
ton, and drafted down to Richmond in companies;
also a Gorman artillsey , 46karyny, commanded by
Capt. Wagner.
There were plenty of arms in Charleston, but no
place for manufacturing them, all which the vo
lunteers carried being imported from England and
elsewhere. A general' want seemed to be expressed
for bayonets to attach to their muskets, and this was
being supplied as fast as possible.
There wore three companies of volunteers quar

as well as to their backs and pockets.
An affecting incident occurred at the time our
informant was in Charleston, which is worthy of
notice. A Union private soldier wag brou g ht
prisoner to that city and confined to Castle Pinck
ney, where access was stringently denied to him by
any person whomsoever. The prisoner's sister hap
pened to be a resident of cLuffieoton, and married
to a rabid aceeseionist. Hearing that her brother
was a prisoner, she earnestly sought and obtained
permission to see him, when a very affecting scene
took place.
Tier husband, hewing game.) clue to the visit)
followed Lis wife thither, and, gaining access to tae
room where the interview was taking place, imme
diately set upon his unfortunate spouse and mal
treated her most shamefully_ The Injuring ski p -
eelved, it was supposed, Would prove fatal; but
the tender husband escaped that just punishment
which was due to the horrid offence.
Incidents of a like nature were 0111 1 / 1 011 daily,
and the villain clement which was also the peculiar
characteristic of large Southern cities showed
itself in most glaring colors. The ruffian blow and
ribald jest were the order of the night, and blood
ehed, drunkenness, and disorder, etis,a4,l
out the entire city.
At the time the rebel steamship Nashville left
Charleston, numerous vessels laden with cotton
were in readiness to take their departure with her,
to wdor tine bettor to run the Mamie but this
intention was frustrated, and the cotton has to lie
idle in the docks of Charleston. Six negrees
escaped from the harbor in a small boat, with the
intention of giving information to the 151.55i0ta1.. 6
fleet of the proposed a,liling of the Nashmite but
it is said that they never reached their destination.
Had they done so, the Nashville would+ probably
have never escaped NM them who Were watching
for her
This. it appears, was the true condition of rinks
at Charleston at the time our informant left. That
there are many Union men in Charlestn i there
see is to ha little doubt; and when the ball of true
patriotism is once set rolling among them it will
have an effect which must convert the whole city
to the true rule, the only true valor whiolf , now ap
pears to nerve the firnia of the Carolinians being
the tearful fascination which hurries themon, led
by their rabid and conscienceless rulers.

be virtually ended by a general insurrection of his

During his command of a southern post, he was
induced to examine the history of slave insurrec

with astounding shortsightedness, taught their

no expeditions take place, and no one asserts con

of every regiment is being carefully tested,
and its efficiency increased by acts slight in
