Jared's “Eetudl de Parte," tor Enamelling
This secret of enamelling the skin being only known
to Jules Jared, be honorably etatee that It differs from
all other preparations, being scientifically composed
from plants and harmless gums, which produce the most
brilliant complexion, and give a soft, even texture to the
skin, like that of an infant.
L'Eruall de PaAs cleanses the pores from those un
sightly black worm specks end email particles which
give coarseness to the complexion. and: by cleansing.
Produces a healthful glow. It effaces, after a few weeks.
moist happily, all scare, and , is especially successful to
eradicating the marks left by small-pox.
"L'Email de Paris" is endorsed-by X'lle Vestvali,
Mrs. Waller, and many other ladles In private life,
whose commendatory letters cannot be" Published for
obvious reasons.
Jules Jared's "Email de - Paris" Ls not apatnt, not a
powder, not a paste, but a most delicate preparation
that gives both the complexion and texture of polished
Ivory to the skin. Ladies sojourning in the country, or
at the watering places, will find the "Email de Paris"
invaluable for removing discoloration caused by atm
burn or salt air.

state Defence—Uinta to Legislators.
To The Edlior of The Pray
•Stn : There will, no doubt, be many and differing
plans presented to the Legislature for the proper
defence of the State, but they will all fail of per
manence unless they are interesting to the pockets
or the passions of the people. The former hints at
the usual rascality, and the latter is left as a, field
for an experiment which would perhaps be worth
trying. If you think my hints are worth anything
please work them up into a proper shape for the
public eye; if not, do with them as I dare say you
do with. a good many others. You know what a
great love.and pride the iireman has for his "ma
chine." Now, can we transfer this to the country
bonand his gun I If it should be found possible,
the following plan will work well and permanent
ly: Let each township in the State, of the assessed
value of be required to provide by a tax on
itself; a field piece, with all its, appurtenances, of
such weight of metal as competent authority may
decide upon. Give them One or two years to pay
for it, according to their ability. Lot the company to
manage It be drafted to serve, say two years, one third
of the members going out every two years, in order
that a knowledge of the tactics may be diffused. We
ought to become familar with this drafting business,
and, if possible, let It be considered a privilege to be
long to the "Gun Company. ), In order to do this
let every chosen one serve, unless he can find some
one to buy him out for not less than a—, one-half of
this togo to the company. There Will be no difficulty
In this on a peace establishment and while any .
novelty remains about the affair. Lot them meet
for drill, with volunteer-horses, six times each year,
one or two days each time, and let additional meet
ings be encouraged by agricultural fairs and target
matches of adjoining townships, with premiums for
best performances. Let every member be exone
rated froni a :portion of his tax. Let none but legal
voters be members. Let there be a colonel and
other officers, whose office shall be at the °cum,
ty town, and whose business shall be to visit, in
spect, and drill every company times each year.
Let each arsenal be only one story high, and large
enough to hold only the guns and what belongs to

place.
Let the 'whole matter be so arranged that it may
not grow up into a corrupt and jealous Slate Instita..
tion, but that Its first allegiance be due to the United
States ; and while enough should always be avail
able for State defence, the remainder must answer
all calls of the 'United States, and all losses incurred
In the Federal service be made good to the State.
There are, of course, other features which the know'
ing ones will suggest, but there is enough here to
give you a general idea of the plan, and I leave it
now In the hands of your judgment whether to
maks any use of it or not. You. have some idea of
the It ledom and honesty of our State Legislature,
and I have not a doubt that many a crudity will be
proposed and battled for that will not be any more
practicable, and I am sure not half as honest as this.
I do not propese this as a substitute for the regular
militia musket companies. They, of course, must
be kept np if they can, and I think the gun compa
nies will be a stimulating adjunct in keeping up the.
existence of the former, which should meet with the
latter for company drill. Discouragic everything
larger than a company drill ; they are nothing but
mobs for carousing, drunkenness, and fighting,
Every movement of larger bodies will soon be learned
in actual service.

Thoughts for Many—No. 1.
To the Editor of 'The Press:
Sin: The present situation of this State brings to
my mind an occurrence which took place in Scott
county, in East Tennessee, In 1861 or 'B2: Colonel
(now General) Vaughan, of the Confederate army,
had been stationed at Kingston, and, with about
1,2(0 mon, made an inroad into Scott county, burn
ing and plundering as he proceeded. Scott county
is one of the most mountainous counties bordering
on Kentucky. Vaughan had not proceeded far
when he got into a defile, which was commanded by
sixty sharpshooters, posted on high rooks, and form
ing part of a home guard. The Confederates suf
fered greatly, while the Scott county men lost only
two of their number. On a visit to Fort Delaware
the other day, I met one of the former command of
Vaughan, He did not know who I was, and freely
described to me his experience in Scott county on
the occasion referred to, adding that when the com
mand got back to Kingston they swore they
would never go to Scott county again. When' com
pared to Scott county r we laborundertwo disadvan
tages : First. We havenot the mountains to protect
us, and must therefore make up the deficiency by
increasing our numbers. Secondly. Scott county,
among the whole nu l inber of its inhabitants, counted
only ten sympathizers with the cause of the rebel
lion, and thew had been compelled to leave the
county. There was nothing, then, to dampen the
patriotism of the men of Scott county, while amongst
ns axe Men who have done everything in their power
to prevent the success of the Administration, and
discouraged every effort to sustain its measurd,
cause it has proved imbecile. Let us be on our
guard. If we defeat them well the Confederates
will do in our case what they did with regard to
Scott county—they will pledge themselves never to
come again. • X.
To the Editor of The Press:
SIR : At the late election held on the 2d inst., for
emending the Constitution of Pennsylvania to
grant the soldiers the right of voting, it was opposed
in all the Democratic wards in our city and coon..
ties in our State, by those who are the loudest in
crying down the colored man, but on that occasion
they tried to deprive the white citizen of the only
prjvilege he has over the colored man, that of voting.
I have no doubt if the question had been to supply
the army with food or not, they would have voted
!litho negative. The heinous crime of a man fight
ing for his country, in their opinion, should deprive
him of his vote. I am, sir, very respectfully yours,

The Loyalty of Chombersburg
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: It hes been very unkindly remarked, and
too generally believed, that the resent burning of
Obambersburg by the rebels was but the proper
punishment of its citizens for their traitorous Cop
perheadism.
I am glad to think that this cruel charge was not
originated In Philadelphia. It is the New York
Tribune which, last week, gave currency to this
contemptible rumor.
My feelings of indignation and sympathy are so
warm in the refutation of this. libel, that I can
hardly confine them to the briefspace which I know
your/aluable columns deMand.
Now for my testimony : It has been my privilege
to pass, as a private militia-man, through many of
the border and inland towns of our State, in the
raids of 'O2 and 'B3.
If it were proper, I could single several such
places, where the tried soldier of the Union was not
only denied food 'and water, but eVen insulted by the
Copperhead towns-people as we marched by them.
No such insult or inhospitality met us in Chant
berstrurg. We Sojourned there several weeks, and,
never, in our experience, met a more universally
•
kind reception.
The houses of its citizens were opened wide in
genial hospitality. Ladies stood in their doorways,
and every man, in soldier's garb, was kindly invited
to enjoy their bounteous cheer. This is not only
my testimony, bat that of hundreds whose separa
tion alone prevents them from giving it publle
and united expression.
I 3 , rlsh that this groat city of Philadelphia could
this day feel itself as free from Copperhead treason
'as can little Chambersburg, smouldering in her
loyal ashes.
In the name of all that is grateful let me crush
this consummate lie
Of what avail are our moneys for relief if we
suffer this mean scandal to gain credence among
us 1 Let us give them their rights sooner than our
charity; for the boon of charity, at best, is tempo•
rary, but the stain of disloyalty on a suffering pep.
ple is a need that no benevolence can supply—a
pang that no philanthropy can mitigate. •

To the Editor of the Press:
Sin: I notice, along with real suffering on our
border, from the wanton destruction by the rebels,
that the people there also suffer front the abuse of
the New York press.
For their reaLsuffering, it will give us pleasure to
contribute our mite; for their relief from the mOrtiti
cation at the slanders of a loyal people, we offer
them an all•sufficient roilnedy, s. e., don't take the .
papers so fond of abusing PennsYlvania.
some years since I found that t could seldom open
a New York paper without having my mind irrltat
ed by some abuse of Philadelphia, and was conse
quently led to adopt the remedy mentioned.
I Bud that our city papers generally have what

spise the hankering after exciting falsehood too
common with the mass. • :

The St. Joseph (Mo.) correspondent of the Mis
souri Republican asserts that the excitement in that
locality Is nearly over, and the people are again en
deavoring to attend to their regular business Con
cerns. The change must be most welcome, for the
accounts We have published from day to day show
that the people of Northern Missouri have passed
through scenes and trials almost equalling those
which visited France in the dark days of Robes
pierre, Banton, and Marat. At one time they were
almost in a state of siege, which was only raised by
the avalanche of men which came from all direc
tions in 'response to the call of General Fiske. Of
recent occurrences the correspondent thus speaks:
Thornton aid a good portion of his * Men are re
ported to have crossed the river the latter part of
last week: The crossing was effected between Mis
souri city and Lexington, and extended up and
down for a distance of about twenty miles. The
steamer Fanny Ogden came along while the cross
ing was going on. The crossing ceased long enough
to permit her to pass, and was then commenced
again. They crossed in small boats, swimming their
horses after them. It is to be tieped that in future
they will keep their own side of the question."
There are some guerillas, however, still In Platte.
Intormatidn reached headquarters, Saturday, that a
band of 800 or 400 were again in that disaffected re
gion. Gen. Fisk immediately had steath raised on
the stearin*. West Wind, now laying up oaths oppo
site side, for the purpose of conveying the Illinois
troops down to drive them out. but he afterwards
changed his notion, and the troops, all being caval
ry, marched down by land. It is feared that Platte
will shansthe fate of Jackson and the depopulated
counties bacircif•Kansai City. Indeed, it must be
almost already.depopulated, The arrivals here of
refuge elan:that...region averaged frOm one to two
hundred i day for several days. This exodus was
owing t e bad conduct of the Kansas troops an
der Jennison. An officer of the 3d Cavalry M. S.
M., who:accompanied the first expedition, stated on
his return' that he and a detachment of men, hav
ing been left at Platte City, on trying to overtake
the math force, met a lady mounted on horses
back, who rode up to them in the road weeping,
and ,egged of them for "God sake to spare the
lives of herself and daughters; that it they would
only do that, she would give them everything she
; possessed in the -world." The officer replied,
My dear madam, we have not come down here
to make Far on women and children, but 'to drive
out armed marauders and restore law and order."
It is to be deeply regretted that all the troops, who
have operated In that region were not actuated and
governed by hhe same noble principles. Judging
from their conduct, it looks as though they"tried to
make ae'many enemies to the cause as possible.
Assassinations have become quite frequent. Some
five or six hundred occurred In this immediate vi
cinity within the last few days, among whom was
an old wi thin
of this county, upwards of eighty years
of age.„ What fears could have been entertained of
an aged.patriarch like this is left for the pen of the
historian to portray. He was verging on the portals
of the grave, and a few, more days, or months at
most, slid the Ring of Terrors would ' have claimed
him as 'his own in a natural way.
DBTAILB Oi' TER 'MURDER OP THB tririON rut
. SOBERS ON THE 007,LBERLAND RIVER.
The Louisville Journal says the scout sent out
from that city on Monday week to search after
Lieutenant Gamble, and furnish him safe conduct
into our lines, returned early on Tuesday morning,
having been successful in'its mission. The lieuten
ant was found secreted in the woods not far ftom
where he made his escape from the gang of villanona
cutthroats. He was pale, almost devoid of cloth
ing., and appeared to have suffered much' in
'dodging through the brush, trying to elude
the watchful eyes of those bent on his mur
der.. He informed the' scout that he had been
robbed 'by the guerillas of his pants, boots,
watch, and seventy-live dollars in money. After
crossing the Cumberland river and travelling
about six. miles in a southerly direction, the gue
rillas halted and arranged their prisoners in
line, telling them that they were going to parole
them. After a short consultation, the leader of
the:gang. who was called by his men Capt. Por
ter,' ordered the members of his gang to draw their
pistols, saying, "We have but one way of paroling
Federal prisoners, and that is with our revolvers."
The whole party advanced in line, and commenced'
rapidly tiring. The lieutenant said that he well
knew that there was - no hope for life only in preci
pitate flight, so he started on 'the full runt : A vol
ley of pistol shots was fired at him, as he disap
peared in a narrow strip of brush, and another as he
pasted an open space a short distance beyond. For
tunately none of the balls struck him, and he made
good hie escape. He was forced to lie in the woods,
night and day, until the scout relieved him on Mon
day afternoon. He piloted the cavalry to the spot
where the execution had taken place, and three
&Lad bodies, riddled with balls, were found stretched
on the green sward. On the breast of each was
pinned a strip of paper, dated July 30, with the fol
lowing words written .in pencil mark upon them :
"These boys are executed in retaliation for our
friends hung in Nashville." The bodies were much
decomposed when found, and. were buried upon the
spot. One of the dead was a soldier of Co. 0, 83d'
Illinois Volunteers, named. Ira. Butler; another
was Christopher McCarty, ahoy iiiskeen years old,
employed as a teamster in the , quattermaster's
,department. His parents reside in'. Abington,-
Illinois. The third• hody was that Of &laborer in
the employ of. the Government at Nashville. The
body of the fourth prisoner could not be found, and
it is possiblethat he succeeded in making his escape.
He was also a, citizen in tile employ of the Govern
ment. Weenthe men were first taken prisoners,
Claixtifitsinformed the. guerillas -that but two .

notlisten tolls words. The execution was one of
the 'darkest transactions of blood that ever disgraced
a civilised age, and it was perpetrated With all
the* nortchnlence of .hearts fiendish and' wholly
corrupted. There is much speculation as to
who •fUe murderers . are. We hear various
names mentioned, but as they are mere specula.
tions, we will not,wlt ' hout farther proof, inscribe
their names on the roll so dark with Infamy: Lieut.
Gamble sap that they called their chief by the nhme
of Porter. The friends referred to in the note pinned
to the bosom of each dead man are presumed to be
the guerillas recently hung at Nash Ville, one of
whom was named Gossett, a notorious robber and
murderer of Cheatham county, Tennessee. His ca
reer was marked with the darkest crime, as he was
proved guilty before the military commission of the
murder of several peaceable, unoffending citizens.
Every effort will be made to hunt down the fiends
guilty of the inhuman outrages of Saturday evening
last., They are a shame and a curse to humanity,
and should be blotted out of existence.
A Trip from Chattanooga to Atlanta.
A. correspondent of the Louisville Journal thus..
describes a trip to the front:
If there can be any journey more fall of melan
choly and yet thrilling interest than all others, itis
the one which. I have just' completed. I started at
daybreak on the Chattanooga and Atlanta Railroad
from Marietta, for the purpose of Witnessing an ar
tillery duel between the 11th Indiana Battery and a
rebel force stationed on the right wing of the army.
As I passed along the line of railroad I beheld abun
dant evidences of the stubborn resistance of the
enemy, and of the perseverance and determination of
our own forces. Great ridges of hills, completely
filled with rifle-pits and capped with immense
fortifications, spike highly or this labor and en
durance undergone, by 4, Johnnies,_" and much
more loudly of the skill, courage, an d hardihood of
our soldiers in 'storming and capturing them.
Whenever we came to. those portions of the country
where the most bloody battles wore fought and the
most decisive victories were won , all eyes were
fastened upon them, every spot was pointed out,
and in some instances loud cheers were freely given
by those, rn board the train. When we arrived at
ylning%Station we were obliged to use our own
powers of locomotion in advancing toward the
front. Vining is the station where sick and wounded
soldiers' arc 'placed 'on board 'the hospital trains
for the purpose of-being'sent to more healthy lo
calities in the North and. West. It is in itself
a healthy place, 'comparatively speaking, and,
with the assistance of the kind-hearted, gentlemanly
surgeons in charge, many a poor fellow who ar
vived there at the point of. death has gradually be.
come stronger, and agaii4sble to endure those hard
ships and stern realities which are so intimately
connected with a soldier's career. I. travelled in
company with the gallant Captain - Denig, of Gene
ral lhomaa , staff; and a comrade of his, a scout just
returned from Mobile, Alabama. On arriving at
the Chattahoochie river, we were . mote strongly
tempted by the sultriness of the day to swim across
than to march over the pontoon bridges which spans
the river for the accommodation of wagon trains and
foot passengers. We, however, so far checked our
rising impulses as to content ourselves by merely
bathing in Its cool, refreshing waves. The Chatta
hoochie is a narrow, d cep rlver,and rather sluggish in
Its movements. It Is surrounded by rooky bluffs cover
ed by a thick growth of forest trees, and presenting,
at this season of the year, a beautiful and highly
picturesque appearance. We sat upon the north
bank of the river and enjoyed the cool and enchant
ingly pleasant breezes which find their way through
the defp,ldingles . and over . the precipitous • bluffs
with wnlch thestountry abounds, and as we sat and
mused upon and enjoyed this marvellously enchant
ing scenery, our conversation naturally took the
current of. the thoughts of all present. We won
dered•thed.anand so.frulthil, so full of the advents
gee of itature,,so evidently intended for the happiest
and best: race of people in the world, could give
birth to:the_most malignant, relentless, and blood
thirsty Passions which the inhabitable globe has
brought to light in any age of the world. Through
the influence of our military friend an ambu
lance was procured in which' we travelled on
toward our destination. Ever and anon, as
we advanced, we , heard the distinct boom
ing of cannon, as each side contested the ground be
tween them ; and this, also, was food for reflection;
but I forbear giving the sensations experienced.
After a jolting ride of seven miles over a rough and
dusty road; we at length arrived at the scene of ope
rations. I trusted Implicitly - to - the judgment and
experience of my comrades, and resolved within
myself that I would keep - their company through
every .vicissitude of our ride. I knew that the Cap-.
Lain vr.its awar-worn veteran, and Veterans are not
apt to rush into danger withouttirst studying the
pros find Cons of the situation. We wore informed by
some soldiers that, Gen.,-Thomas' headquarters; to
which point we were shaping our course, was
about three hundred yards below the railroad track
which lay immediately before us. We saw shells
bursting just in front of us, and yet our courage, or
rather that of our gallant leader, impelled us on.
We crossed the railroad, and were. proceeding due
east, when, lo a shell struck not forty feet in front
of 11F, tearing up:the ground at a. fearful rate, raising
, a cloud ,of dust, frightening our horses, and telling
,even the most inexperienced of the company that it
was pOllcy.to "change our base' , as quickly as pos
sible. It is impossible to tell who. Issued the corn
niand, bat we obeyed, it with alacrity, and soon
placed a. neighboring hill and forest between us and
danger.. The last -I saw of Messrs: Sanitary they
were making time at sa fearful rate, exactly in the
range of the flying shell, "juicing each time that
the merry-sounding noise came too near. their
ears for comfortable feelings. It may be that
they fell victims to the accurate firing of the , rebel
batteries. It is , proper , to say that Captain Denig
• evinced great presence-of mind in conducting our
retreat, and in at last showing us the most sate and
desirable spot for a resting place. Our ambulance,
after we lett it, was struck, and one of the rear
wheels :completely shattered. All who witnessed
our adventure joined in saying that our escape was
something of a miracle. It seems that we had driven
our horses directly in • range of the . rebel battery,
only a Mile distant, and they, taking deliberate aim,
• were determined to show us their skill in that par , "
Oulu branch of / the service by ohoosing us as the
target. • Their real object was to dislodge a twenty
pound Parrott gun which .was shelling the city of
Atlanta. _
Topography of Georgia.
1'076
A. gentleman who has resided nearly nine years In
Georgia, mostly on the lines of the Georgia and
Western railroads abopt - Atlanta, and has travelled
very generally and repeatedly in all parts of the
State, communicates some valuable information
concerningthe topography of the country.
He ems there are three very distinct divisions of
the Stater
1. The mountain region, which embraces the
northwest 'corner and comes down to the Kenesaw
Mountain, sear Marietta. 2. Where it opens into a

points thogpiney woods, low, sandy, level, with wide
swamps bordering all thie streams, and extending
from MO to 200 miles to rhe sea or the Gulf. The
mountain-region is for farnsing—almost exchtsively
for grains am* grapes. Wheat is usually a good
crop. The middle region, from Atlanta to. Mgeon,
is a mixture of corn and cotton. It will produce

cut up into email plantations, and occupied by men,
of moderatemeans, with thriving villages at the
county seats. The third division, the low country, Is
almost exclusively in possession of large planters,
end cotton is the staple, although it will grow corn,
but no small grain or grass. Doubtless the lands_
are cultivated in cereals as far as practicable at this
time, PO that Gen. Sherman has a productive 're
gion of a hundred miles all round _him from which
lie can draw supplies without going back to Tennes
see. The railroad from Atlanta to Macon :runs 101
miles on the dividing ridge,between the waters of
the Atlantic and the Gull, and has not a bridge;
not even a culvert, in the whole distance ; scarcely
an embankment or excavation. All the destrue
tion either army can do to that is to the rails
and ties end water.tanks. The roads to Augusta
and to West Point, toward Columbus and Idea
gomery, cross the numerous streams and rairines,
and caw be broken in many places by destroying
bridges. These roads are all of 15ne gauge. The
Chattaboochie does not empty Into the Alabama,
as some correspondent, stated, but runs directly
south between Alabama and Georgia,. into the "Gulf
of Apalachicola. It Is navigable for steamboatsto
Columbus, at which point It falls some sixty feet in
belle mile, coming down from the undulating to
the pine country, and forming an inexhaustible
water tower. Here are the most extensive factories
in the btate. Several large cotton mills, a large
variety warks, (tub and bucket, sash and bllnd,&c.,
A.c.,) - and extensive nearing and saw mills. There
are also several steam cotton mills at Greensboro',
about seventy miles below Atlanta, toward Augusta,
and water mills at Eatonton and Thomaston, and
Athens.
It will be seen from these facts:that General.
Sherman already controls the regions of the
small grains and the ores. „Theiwchlef iron
works were at Etowah, Romet. and- Atlanta,
and all are dependent on the , mountain. region for
ore. The whole country IS Open, Well settled, and the

Waifs from Rebeldom.
correspondent Of the Mobile Register, writing
from Atlante,tells the following sad story':
.
"Not many menthe ago there arrived at a Confe
derate port, upon one of the most netable of our
blockade-runners, a very unassuming woman—
scarce such, Indeed, for she . was hardly out of her
teens—of an extremely handsome person. • She had
come to Nassau from Paris, and - sailed thence for
the South. She brought with her. an abundant
wardrobe, and sufficiency of means to last her two
or three years at the present high rates of living.
Her object in visiting this country was to discover
the fate of an only brother, a colonelin our service,
who had placed her at Geneva at terhool when the
war began.
" She had not heard from him during six menthe,
became anxious, and finally set out on her long and
perilous journey. Her anxiety proved too well
founded. Her brother had been killed at Gettys
burg, and she found herself alone and a stranger in
her native land. She went first to Augusta, then to
Mobile ; here she lost a trunk continuing all her
gold. At this critical juncture of affairs she met e
very handsome field officer—fell in love—engaged
first in flirtation, then, In an amour—and accom
panied him as flu as Atlanta, on his way to the
front. He fell at Chickamauga.. What her life be•
came you can guess. She died last week, and was
tumbled into the ground in the public cemetery.
There's a story for you—weep over it PI
Again we have tidings of the extreme suffering of '
the rebel population, and particularly of the people
of Georgia and Alabama. Sherman's march
through Alabama and Georgia ,has necessarily de.
vastated a great extent of country ; and now, just
at the time for gathering in the crops,'every avails,.
hie man inGeorgia, Alabama, and .}..lorida has been
.
called to arms to drive our troops away front Atlan
ta. The harvests, are, therefore, left to the women,
children, and negroes, and the .conserthent distress
is naturally great. The following is an extract from
a letter which gives a view of the state of affairs. It
details the suffering from extreme high prices and
general scarcity, and hints rather broadly the dis
content of the people under the rule of the Rich
mond usurpers. It is dated Dale county, Georgia,
and says :
" Times are bard here. Dorn Is $5 por bushel, and •
hogs $1 per pound (fat or poor) gross ; bacon, $2.60
per pound salt, $l5 por bushel ; chickens, from $1
'to $1.25 per head peas, $8 per bushel ; ground peas,
$8 per bushel... There will be a great deal of suffer
ing in this country, If there is no perishing. Even
the yelpers are getting. stoick of this protracted dance
and tenth law, and the swarm of Impressing thieves
that infest the country with their ravages. The'
poor must, do all the fighting, and the Richmond,
Government makes offices for all the rich men to
keep them out of the fight, and on big pay, and the
poor man in the service on $l4 per month.
"It he has an industrious wife and two or three chil
dren on an ordinary farm with a blind horse, they
can make a libel of'snpport; keep Me .
animal ; but the cursed tenth law will take more
than her husband's wages will buy out of it to
feed those thieves to spoil o'er the country
and . publicly - rob the people under the "sano
than of the Richmond military despotism. I
have made' a support, and am able to naY the
rapacious devils a tenth, I hope If the poor
downgot it, it Would go free as water ever ran
down an inclined plane. But it does not go free to
pay the rich man $5O per month for negro hire to
work on fortidcations, and it the negro gets killed ).
the poor soldier must pay his proportionable ratio
out of Lie $ll per month lor the dead negro ; but if
the poor soldier gets killed, his life is not worth any
thing, according to the Richmond dynasty's Judg
ment,'

ry, of his querritier. He will not sell them at any
discount. Ho bath the pride of an artist, or at least
of an amateur, in the contents of hie crowded little
shop. He wilediscourse to you, most learnedly, of
his curiosities and antiquities, and appear as much
pleased at your appreciation of his discourse as at
the appearance of your money.
But if you would see the fountain-head where - all
such treasures flow—go to the Hotel Dronet, where
are the public sales-rooms of Pliris. An immense
building with an immense dumber of sales-rooms,
always crowded during exhibitions and sales—where
you find everything you want, ornamental or useful ;
not only furniture of all sorts, but engravings, oil
paintings, aquarials, bronzes, antique armor, Chi
nese and Indian objects—articles of every descrip
tion under the sun—from the furnishing of a Hindoo
temple, or a Roman Catholic altar, down to a lady's
boudoir or asecond-hand Protestant pulpit. A oral
ous crowd of men, too; it is who congregate here- to
examine and purchase. The Isthelitleh phyalogno
my prevails largely among them—but they are all
men who know the -exact value of the various
articles for sale. There is no such thing as cheating
this crew. They are as particular and as dainty as
a flock of cranes or of crows about the food that per
tains to them as a specialty. If It is a New Zealand
hatchet or a picture of Delacroixthey are fully
posted up as to its market value. Long experience
has made these tharpleyed fellows infallible—each
in hisspecial line.
Tnavar.i.ino ter SPAIN.—Mr. G. P. White, of
Furnival's Inn, writes to the London .Times: The
increased facilities for visiting the Peninsula which
will be afforded by the opening of the Great North
ern Railway on the 15th of August will' doubtless
induce many persons to travel through Spain, pro
bably tbo most interesting, though least ivifdted por.
tion of Europe. The tunnel through the Cantabrian
Pyrenees is now complete, and Senor Don Jose de
Salamanca, the founder of the Spanish railway sys
tem; travelled throughout-for the first time a • few
days since from Madrid to Paris in 93 hours,
distance of about 900 miles_ To those, however.
who prefer travelling by water .it may. be In
teresting to know that there are ,eicellent steam
ers belonging, to Oadiz =enfl &stile ' which ply
regularly round the coaat,•_ostilincat the various
ports, and thus enabling tourists to visit some of
the most interesting maritime atlas of Spain and
Portugal. Nor, will it be less interesting to the
traveller to know that hotel accommodation in
Spain - has greatly Increased and improved. At
Madrid, Seville, Cadiz, Malagti., - Granada, Valen
cia, Barcelona, and most of the principal towns,
excellent hotels will be now found. The Spanish
railways, which in many cases have had great engi
neering difficulties to encounter, are in general
well managed and worked. Many of them belong
to French capitalists, who are said to. be .making
large fortunes in Spain. The action of thl Stock-
Exchange prevents Englishmen from following
their example. Having just made an extended tour
through tk; pain, I have b een greatly impressed with
the extraordinary rapid progreea that country is
making even since a former visit eighteen months
ago ; and, considering the resources of the country,
her unrivalled geographical position, capacious
harbors, rich soil, fine climate, and unbounded
mineral wealth„l venture to express the opinion
that a few years will produce and witness still more
extraordinary results. -
PROFITS Ow FRENCH. AUTHORS.—French au
thors ale, ar a general rule, wretchedly paid for
their books. Their most lucrative patrons are the
press and the theatre. Still, there has been a great
improvement in the rate of remuneration given by
publishers. - de. Lamartlne received only $B4O
from Messrs. Firmin r Didot, & Co. for his " Medita
'
tions " And—this exhibits the progress which had
even then begun to take place—his "Song of Ha
rold's Pilgrimage" fetched 'only $4,400, Now he
gets tens of thousands of. dollars-annually from - his
publishers; his political memoirs brought him in, a
few weeks since, $10,000..M. Thiers receivededoo,ooo
for his " History of the Empire and Consulate;" M.
Victor Hugo got $lOO,OOO for " Les Mieerables," and
Michelet refuses - to allow his publishers (Messrs.
Hachetto.& Co. and M. Chamerot) anything above
a - commission on the sale of his works.. Re has them
printed, stereotyped, bound, and advertised. He Is
the only French author who adopts this course. •
' De Belem, went further ; be turned printer and
publisher, hoping to gather in his hand theprofits
of author, printer, and publisher. He 'found -bank
ruptcy ; for two and two are four as rarely in life
as in politics. • • • M. Renan's " Life of-
J SEW ", has brought him in some - $lB,OOO, and the
golden harvest is still far from being gathered ; his
pen can transmute ink and paper_into gold when
ever he pleases, ; he has several works which daily
find purchasers ; and he is a member of the Acad..
my of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres, which - place
brings him enough -to pay house. rent. lie basin
press in work on his quarrel with the Government„
.
"My Situation."
THE tF'arga 'TRADE IN ENGLAND.—In the House
of Commons, on the Sad ult., Mr. Maguire, a news
paper proprietor, p ape r commission nquire
into the state of the trade. The trade,
he said, was a very busy trade, but the profits were
small. [ The reduction of the profits was ascribed to
the reluctance of some Continental Governments to
veinal-the export of rags - to .higland without the
Imposition Wren excessive duty.. F,ng land imported
more roes than any other .natiou r but it would seem
that although these rigs are enecgh, the „.price re
mains high in contequence of nort.cenapetition with
roe s item France awl Belgium.

FOUR. CENTS,
but these are useful only in the manufacture of pa
per for newspapers, and for elmilar purposes., They:
are not suited to the production of line papetW, and
the 0013Seireenee Is that in thwproductlon of ftner
pers we compete with France and Belgium tyr sell
fog such paper at a very email profit, It-di/not
appear, but it was nevertheless sr fact. that the war
in America bas' interfered very considerably with
the paper trade In Great.nritalre. Three articles
were formerly used in the manufactare—cotton
ittee, alkali, and rosin. The olUrtnitment or the
cotton trade renders cotton waste scaree and dear.
The price of.resin lies been augmented considerably,
owing to the war, and alkali and bleachfngpowder,
for the same reason, ate very dear. If 'Viewer ter
minated speedily, the paper-makerS would' have less
cause :to complain ; but, as the session waft - want:lg
to a close, the Chancellor of.thellxchequer sontimt
ed himself by saying the question of a commission,
would.. be:considered at the next session of Perna

• Minim. Tun:ans.—A magnificent diamond brace
let and a pair of diamond earrings, of the richest
and costliest design, with an appropriate inscription,
recording the occasion'of the 'gift and the names of
the donors, engraved on vellum, were presented to
Titiens, at her residence In the Regent's
Park, on the 18th of July. • The distinguished party
presenting the gut represented a large body of nota
bilities in the fashionable world; who were subscri
bers to the token to the illuetrions artiate. They were
beaded by the Countess of.Lineolm who was accom
panied by the Lady Sandya, the Duke of Leheiter,
the Earl of;Lincoln, the Earl of Strathinore, the
Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Wilton, Major Blake,
and Mr. Bligh, IVL P. •
Examen DmOnoll COMM.—The numbei of peti
tions for dissolution of marriage last year exceeded
the number in any previous year since the court has
been established. There were'2ss such petitions filed
in the year 1863, besides 7 fordeolaring the marriage
null from the first.- Forty.three'persona petitioned
for a judicial separation, and 12 applied for protec
tion of property. Two hundred and ,- thirty-seven'
judgments were given in the year 1,059 have- been
given in the last six years. But which way the judg
ments went is not told ; strange-as it must seem 4 the
Registrar makes his return to the Secretary of b i latek
year after year,of the business done in this, court,'
giving come details. of little interest or imptirtanee,
but never states how many marriages are dissolved
in the year. - -
Convituawr.=-The Chancery Suit between Samp
son. Lbw & Co., and Messrs. Rontledge, which
turned on the point whether an allen,living in a
British colony, and there publishing a book, could
securcifor himself the benefit of the English act of
copyright, was decided on July 18th by Vice Chan
cellor Kinderaley. The learned judge decided that,
on principle, a foreigner publishing under the cir
cumstances stated was entitled to thi. benefit of the
act; but in the particular case before the court the
benefit was lost from non-compliance with some
teobniCal points.
'MANOIit AND COMMERCLII.
Gold is weak. There is very little demand, and
with the present prospect of a prOtracted dullness in
the demand for export, If not, Indeed; a return of
gold from Europe, speculation for arise is very
fieble. The demand for customs continues below
the average demand, owing to . the indisposition of
importers to take their goods out of bond. Atnine
o'clock, the asking rate for gold was 255, and It
steadily, declined during the day, closing at about
253.
, The subscriptions to the new 7-80 loan continue
large.. All over the country these subscriptions are
going into the Department through the National
bifnks, and for the time the loan has been before the
people it is proving a greater success than the
14500,090,000 5-20 popular loan in its early history.
T o pe latter, which dragged at first at . par, Is now
selling on the Stock Exchange at 109@110 per cent.
The new loan Is practically another gold-bearing
5-20 stock at the end of. three years, the liberal cur
rency Interest of 7-80 per cent. being paid in the
meantime. The new 7.305, notwithstanding the ad
verse effects of the recent decision relative to their
liability to taxation, - are in active demand, and the
sales are increasing.
The stock market was inactive yesterday, except
for Government loans, which continued in demand.
The 'Bls sold largely at 108 K, and the 5-20 s at 109 X.
At the close'of the day the latter declined X, and
State 5s declined X. In company bonds there was
scarcely anything doing. Allegheny Valley 7s sold
at 106 ; Pennsylvania Railroad first mortgage at 126,
and second mortgage at 121. Schuylkill Navigation
65 of 'B2 advanced ,4‘; Camden and Ambcy Ss of '75
sold.at 109, and the Y 8313 at 108 X. The share list was
dtill: 'Reading closed at 683, and Pennsylvania
Railroad at 72. Camden and Amboy shares, de
dined. 1; Catawfssa pref. 3; Norristown Railroad
rose to 66, an advance of 1. Of the coal companies
there was a sale of Big Mountain at 7k'. In canals
there was more doing, but at a decline; Schuylkill
Navigation preferred sold at a decline of X ; and
Delaware Division at a decline of 3. Union Canal
preferred sold at 3,X,and Morris preferred at,l35X.
Coal Oil shares' are rather dull, but prices are
steady. There is little or nothing doing in City
Passenger Railways, and quotations are nominal.
Bank shares continue-firm but dull ; 133 was bid for
Philadelphia, 68% for Farmers , and Mechanics', 60
for Commercial, 28X for Mechanics!, 39% for Penn
Township, 80 for Western, 70 for Tradesmen's, 47 for
