The North BrituJi Review h an appreci ative criticism of Dr. John Biown's gossip ing book, Hot a Subteciva, the second series, which Las just been published iu Edin burgh. The Review says : th doctor's prcuLUrriE3. , The preface to the first series oi the Horse Subaecivse contains a very unnecessary pologyjfor what the- author describes as 'the tendency in him ot the merely ludi crous to iutrude, and to insist on being at tended to and expressed." This is a very inadequate account of a rich and penetra ting humor, not unworthy of &o enthusiastic an aduiirer of Charles Lamb. He has not indeed who ever had ? the wild yet ten det imaginative wit of Elia, so subtle and wonderful that even Scotchmen adore him when he is "bleating libels against their native land.". But he has the genuine hu mor, which, in his own words, is "the very flavor of the spirit, its rich and Iragrant oz tnazomi, having in its aroma something of everything in the man, his expressed juice." Dr. Brown's humor illustrates admirably the definition of a thoughtful writer, whose own wit, by the ay, was rather leathery -Archdeacon Hare who explains humor as a "sense of the ridiculous, softened and meliorated by human feeling." This is a true but hardly an adequate de finition 1 for it fails to express how thor oughly the humor and the feeling interpen etrates each other.- The two elements can not be separated by the most searching ' analysis. Nor is the result, though always humiliating, so invariably gentle as one -might suppose.. Dean Swift, at least, is an illustrious example to show that some slight infusion of gall is by do means inconsistent with the humor ; and it might not be im possible to name another instance almost as striking among our great living; authors. Bat we have quoted Archdeacon Hare chiefly to show how broad a distinction there is between such humor as Dr. Erowa's and the mere tendency to be always joking, with which he seems modestly afraid that it may be confounded. There is a great deal of fun in Dr. Brown; his gravely comic power is inimitable ; but is hardly ever, as it seems to us, the purely iudricrous, which gives occasiou for its exercise. The incon gruity -which moves him is that of ideas, and cot ot words. THS DOCTOR OJT DOGS. His descriptions, or rather characters of dogs, for example, are really like nothing so much, either in the result or in the mode of treatment, as the Eilistons and the Cap tain Jacksons of Elia. We do not put Toby on a par with Captain Jackson ; bat the peculiarities of his mental organization are made known to as ia much, the same way. Tha most impalpable niceties of- the char acter, are seized with the same firm and del icate touch, and brought out, one after an other, with tha . came gradual art, till the picture is complete. And we know noth ing anywhere, except in Charles Lamb, which ia the least , degree resembles the grave fun with which the whole dog ia then presented to us. a sToaT or a doo '. There are two characteristic anecdotes which we cannot resist. Our readers must understand that Dr. Brown, when a boy, had trough! a shepherd's dog from Tweed cid to Edinburgh ; V 'She came, and was at once taken to all ' our hearts eva grandmother like her; and theegh she was often pensiVe, as" if think ing of her inaster and her wprk oa the hills, sha mads herself at hotse tnd behaved in all respects like a lady. When out with -H3, if she tz-y su2p ia tha streets of roid and wascuriouly useful, the being so ma king her wonderfully happy. And so her little life went on, never doing wrong al ways blith, and kind, and beautiful. But some months after she came there was a mystery about her Every Tuesday even ing she disappeared. We tried to watch her but in vain. She was always off by nine P. M , and was away all night, coming back next day wearied, and all over mud, as if she had traveled far. She slept all next day. This went on for some months, and, we could make nothing of it. Poor, deat creature, she looked at us wistfully! when we came in, as if she would have j told us if she could, and was especially ! fond though tired. Well, one day I was ! walking across the Grassmarket, with Wy- j lie at my heels, when two shepherds start- ' ed, and, looking at her, one said, "That's; her, ; that's the wonderfu' wee. hitch that; naebody kens." I asked him what he j meant, and he told me that for months past she had made her appearance by the first daylight at the "buchts," or 6heep pens," in the cattle market, and worked incessantly, 1 and to excellent purpose, in helping the shepherds to get their sheep and lambs in.. The men said, with a sort of transport, j ' She's a perfect meeracle flees about like ; a speerit, and never gangs wrong wears j but never grups, an' beats a' our dowgs. j She's a perfect meeracle, and as too pie ' as mawkin." Then he. related how they all knew her, and said, "There's that we leel yin ; wee'll get them in noo." They tried to coax her to stop and be caught, but no; she was gentle but off; and for many a that "we leel yin" was spoken of by those rough fellows. She continued this amateur work till she died, which she did ia peace." A SIMPLE DOO. We do not intend to quote more about dogs; but is there not something at once very absurd and very touching about this: "Pack had to the end of life a simplicity which was quite touching. One summer day, a dog day, when all dogs found stray ing were hauled away to the police office ! and killed off. in twenties with strychnine, I met Puck troting along Princes street, with a policeman, a rope round his neck; he looking up to the fatal, official, but kindly j countenance, in the most artful and cheerful manner, wagging his tail and trotting along. 1 In ten minutes he would have been in the next world ; for I am one of these who be lieve dogs have a next world and why not! . r-ha m a 1'uck ended ins days as the be&t dog in Roxburgshire. Fltcide quiexas." A SCOniSH PASTOR "VhCLE EBE&itZKR." , Perhaps we could find nowhere a mora quiet and graceful picture, without any ex aggeration or straining for effect, than the touching and beautiful character of "Uncle Ebenezer," the well-known pastor at In verkeiihing. It is Utile to say that such things as this give a truer insight into the life and nature of a certain class of Scotch divines than any amount of lives and church histories. . "Uncle Ebenezer flowed per saltum; he was always good and sainty, but he was great once a week. Six days he brooded over his message, was silent, withdrawn, self-involved. On the Sabbath, that down cast, almost timid man, who 6hunned men, the instant he was in the pulpit stood up a son of thunder. Such a voice ! such a pier cing eye! sucn an inevitable forefinger, held out trembling with the terrors of the Lord ! such a power of asking questions, and letting them tall deep into the hearts of his hearers, and then answering them him self with an "Ah sirs !" that thrilled and quivered from him to them. . Nothing was more beautiful than my lath er's admiration and emotion when listening to his uncle's rapt passages, or than his childlike faith in my father's exegetical prowresa. He used to have a list of diffi cult passages ready for "my nephew;" and the moment the oracle gave decision, the old man asked him to repeat it, and then took a permanent note of it, and would assuredly preach it some day with his own proper unction and power. One story of him I most give. Uncle Ebenezer, with all his mildness and complaisance, was, like most of the Browns, tenax proposi ti, firm to obstinacy. He had established a week day sermon at the North Ferry, about two miles from his own town, Inverkeithing. It was, I think, on the Tuesdays. It was winter, and a wild, drifting and dangerous day; his daughters his wife was dead besought him not to go , he smiled vaguely, but con tinued getting into his big coat. Nothing would stay him, and away he and the pony fctumbleti through the dumb and blinding snow. He was half way on bis journey, and had got out the sermon he was going to preach, and was utterly insensible to the outward storm ; bis pony getting his feet balled, staggared about, and at last upset the master and himself into the ditch at the roadside. The feeble, . heedless, rapt old man might have perished there, had not some- carters, bringing up whisky casks from the ferry, seen the catastrophe and rushed up. Raising him and duXing him with much commisseration and bis nt speech: "Pctrauld man, what brach ye here iu sic a day " There they were, a totigh .crew, surrounding the saintly, man, some putting on his hat. sorting and cheering : him, and others knocking the bails ofl the pony's feet and etcfSsg them with grease. Ha was most polite and grateful ; and one of these cordial ruans baring pierced a cask, brough him a hornof whisky,' and said, "Taka that it'll hearten ye.", He took . ' -- ' .-"- let us give thanks;" and there, by the roadside, in drift and storm with these wild fellows, he asked & blessing on it, and for his kind deliverers, and took a tasting of the horn. The men cried like children. They lifted him on his pony, one going with him; and when the rest arrived in In verkeithing they repeated the story toevery body, and broke down in tears whenever they came to the blessing.' "And to think o' askin' a blessin on a tass o' whisky.' "Next presbytery day, after the ordinary business was over, he rose up he seldom poke an said: "Moderator, I have some thing personal to myself to day. ( have often said that real kindnecs belongs only to true Christians, but' and then he told the story of these men 'but more true kindness '1 have never experienced than from thece lads. They may have had the grace of God I don't know; but I never mean again to be so positive in speaking of this matter." Had Anthony Wayne. From the inscription on a monument in Radnor churchyard (St. David:s Episcopal church,) we learn that-"Major General An thony Wayne was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, in 1745. After a life of hon or and usefulness, he died in December, 1796, at Erie- Pennsylvania, then a milita ry post on Lake Erie, commander-in-chief of the United States. His military achieve ments are consecrated in the history of his country and in the hearts of his countrymen. His remains are here deposited." The above is on the north side of the monument. On the south is inscribed: "In honor of the distinguished military services of Major General Anthony Wayne, and as an affec tionate tribute of respect to his memory, this stone was erected by his conferers in arms, the Tennyslvania State Society of Cincinnati, July 4th, 1809, thirtyWojrth an niversary of the Independence of the Uni ted States of America, an event which con stitutes the most appropriate eulogiam of an American soldier." It may not be gen erally known that the remains of Anthony Wayne were first interred near the block house, which now stands on the high bluff which commands the entrance to the har bor ot Erie, they lay there until 1$00, when his 6on went on from Chester county, Pa, to Erie,in a sulky (a two wheeled carriage) and removed them to their final resting place On arriving at Erie, he employed "Od Doctor Wallace," so called to distin guish him from the present Dr. Wallace, to take op his fathers remains, pack the bones in as small a space as possible, and lash them on to the hind pan of the sulky. Doctor Wallace took up the remains, and ' found them in a perfect state of preserva tion, except one foot. He had been buried in full uniform, and the boot of the decayed fool remained sound ; and a man by the name of Duncan had a mate to it, and wore them out. -Duncan's foot, like the General's was very large. Dr. Wallace cut and boil ed all the flesh off the bone, packed them in a box, lashed them on to the carriage, and they were brought and deposited be side the rest of his family, in the above named churchyard. I visited Gen. Wayne's old residsnce in the summer ol 1857, and found everything as he had left it. The house is an elegant old two story mansion, now occupied by bis grandson. The par lors and sitting room, they informed me, were as in the days of the General himself. There are portraits and engraving of the men of the Revolution, hanging on the walls, as they were when appointed to the command of the western army, on the 3rd of April, 1792. Around the house and over the farm, the fences and buildings are in good condition, yet they assured me it is about as he left it. Everything appeared as though it had be longed to .a gentlemen of the old school a race said to be now extinct. The premises looked, and I felt as though the old hero, 'whose very name was once a terror to the murderous red man.might ba expected back in an hour or so, and a dreamy impression seemed to steal over me that if I waited a little 1 should see him. I should like much to have questioned him about Three Rivers and Biandy wine, and Germantown, and Monmouth, and Stony Point, Yorktown and the Indians, and how Erie appeared when she was only a year old. Aud I seemed to hold my breath and listen, is many an old Indian had done, for his footsteps and his fearful oaths ; yet he didn't come, and after a little, I passed on some three miles to his resting place. The Boston Traveller receites the follow ing story, told by one of the Neve Ybtk Sev enth Regiment : "While in Maryland I waadered off one day and came to a (arm-house, where I saw a party of Rhode Island boys talking with a woman who was greatly heightened. They tried io vain to quiet her apprehensions. They asked for food, and sha cried, 'O, take all I have, take everything, but spare my sick husband." 40,' said one of the men, 'we ain't going to hurt you ; we want some thing to eat.' But the woman persisted in being freigbtened in spite of all efforts to reassure her, and hurried whatever food sha had on the. table When, however, she saw this company stand about the table wiifi bared hands, and a tall gaunt man raise his hand and invoke God's blessing on the bounties spread before them, the poor wom an broke down with a fit ol sobbing and crying. She had no longer any fears, but bade them wait, and in a few moments had made hot coffee in abundance. She then emptied their canteens of the mudy water they contained and railed them with coffee list B ??Of! n tlw,-';' " J"" "'oas A Turkish Bath. "The Improved Turkish Bath," as exem plified and represented by the one at St. Ann's Hill,consists of three chambers. The fint, or "Divan" (the apodytherium of :h ancient Romans) is a large, well ventilated room, furnished with sofas and couches. Here the bather divests himself of his clothes, and puts on a light bathing-dress and wooden slippers, and passes on to the second (the caliderium of the Romans) ; this room is furnished with marble slabs, and mattresses, and (in the centre) a large marble seat or ottoman, so that the bathers can recline or sit, as they please. The light is partially dimmed by frosteJ and colored glass, which tends to produce a tranquili zing, dreamy state of mind, favorable to the equalization of the circulation. This room is heateJ to ll2 deg. (and here it may be remarked once for all, that from the ap proximate dryness of the atmosphere, and complete system of ventilation, the air of this and the next the ''hottest" room is respired with perfect ease by the most deli cate and nervous person-). Here the bath er remains until perspiration is fully induc ed, and not till then shoulJ the third room be entered. The time requiste varies de pending mostly on the state of the 6kin from ten to thirty minutes.; The third chamber (the laconinm of the Romans) isalso furnished with marble slabs, upon which are placed light frames of wood, as protection against the heat of the marble. The temperature of this chamber is 140 deg. to 150 deg. It is here the process of "shampooing" (if desired) is performed. It ia a process which has so often been described, that it is unnecessary to enter into that subject at present, beyond stating that a modification of the Eastern system is found to assist in removing impurities from the pores of the skin, while it calls into activity (as in the "Swedish Movement System") sinews and muscles often left inert, and the benefits of friction to the body in most cases is gener ally admitted. After prespiration has com menced,co!d wilermay be drank with great advantas;. Under the increasd tempera ture of the skin is brought into full action, and no material rise is observable in the pulse. Contiguous to this chamber are rcesses btvnrium tcpidarium of the Romans) contain ing fountains and simple apperalus, so ar ranged that the hot and cold water may be mixed to any temperature required and here "douching" or washing process take place : after this refreshing operation the bather returns to the third hottest room) chamber for a minute or so to insure perfect reaction, and then proceeds to the first room (divine) and remains on a sofa or couch, only partially enveloped in his sheet, to en" joy the tonic influence of the pure atmos phere. After remaining from fifteen to twenty minutes he resumesliis garments, and experiences an elasticity of mind and body, and a feeling of invigoration which proves to him that the bath is as beneficial as delectable. It ie hardly necessary to remark that the above description of the "bath-talking" refers to the ordinary bather; in caes of some pal.ents the mode is varied, in minor respects, according to the condition of the or the directions ot ineir medical advisers Many persons pass from the third chamber to the cold "plunge bath." or use the "cold douche." With reference to the effect of what may be called extreme heat on human beings, it may be stated that at the Patent Slate En ameling Establishment near London, the workman sustain a temperature of 200 deg. to 300 deg., for six hours daily, not only without inconvenience, but with positive advantage to health, the men being report ed "free from bodily ailments." That ex posure to a high temperature is not debit iating, may be father demonstrated by ref erence to the sharnpooers in the Turkish baths of Constantinople, who are, according to Mr. Urquhurt's inquiries, a peculiarly healthy clans. They enter the bath at the age of eight, and enjoy long life. And the porters, who carry weights beyond the usu al of those in this country, use the bath as a "refreshment," and resume their work "be ter men." The attendants of Dr. Barter's establishment are employed for six hours every day, and some have been so employ ed for six hours every day, and some have been so employed for more than a year, not with diminished, but with increased health and strengh. It is propable that some may tay, "in a country such as America, or at least New York, the time could not be spared which requires;" but, even assuming that there is a necessity for the hurry -skurry which of ten prevails among men of business when the merchants and traders (often dyspep tic) find the advantages which the bath would produce on the fatigued bodies and over-worked brains, they would make time for an occasional bath. In the great mtnu factoring towns of England, like Manches ter and Bradford, etc, the working classes frequent the baths in numbers, and the ef fects hava been found practically to aid the endeavors of that class of philanthropist, (which in this country ought, and no doubt will, advocate the construction of these baths) namely, the Promoters of Temper ance.

Waterloo After the Battle. Oa the surface of two 'square miles, jl was ascertained that fifty thousand men and horses were dying! The luxurious crop of ripe grain which had covered the field of battle, was reduced to litter and beaten into the earth, and the surface trod den down by the cavalry and furrowed deepjy by the cannon wheels, strewed with many a relic of the fight. Helmets and cuirasses, shattered fire-arms and broken swords ; ail the varieties of military orna ments, lancer caps and Highland bonnets; uniforms of every color, plumes and pen non ; musical instruments, the apparatus of artillery, drums, bugles, but good God ! why dwell on the harroving picture of a foaghteo field ? each and every ruinous display bore mute testimony to the misery of such a battle. Could the melancholy appearance of this scene of death be height ened, it wonld be h witnessing the re searches of the living, amid its desolation, for the objects of their love. Mothers and wives and children for days were occupied in that mournful duty ; and the confusion of j the corpses friend and foe intermingled as 4 they were often rendered the attempt at recognizing individuals difficult, and some times impossible. In many places the dead lay four feet deep upon each other, marking the spot some Britifh square had occupied, exposed for hours to the murderous fire of a. French battery. Outside laicer and cuirassiet were scattered on the earth. Madly attempting to force the serried bayonet of the British, they had fallen n bootless essay by the musketry of the inner files. Further on you trace the spot where the cavalry of France and England had encountered ; chasseur and huzzar were intermingled ; and the heavy Norman horses of the Impe rial Guards were interspersed with the gay charges which had carried Albion's chiv alry. Here the Highlander and Tiralleur lay side by side together ; and the heavy dragoon, with green Erin's badge upon his helmet, was grappling in death with the Polish lancer. On the summit of the ridge, where the ground was enmbered with the dead and trodden fetlock deep in the mud and gore by the frequent rucb of rival cav alry, the thick strewn corpses of the Impe rial Guards peinted out the spot where Na poleon had been defeated. Here, in col umn, the favored corps, on whom his lat chances rested, had been annihilated , and the advance and repulre of the guard was traceable to a mass of fallen Frenchmen. In the hollow below, the last struggle of France had been vainly made; for there the Old Guard attempted to meet the Brit ish and afford time to their disorganized companies to rally. Wwat Makes a Good Editor 1 A good editor, a competent newspaper conductor, is like a general or poet born, not made. Exercise and experience give facility, but the qualification is innate, or it is never manifested. On the London daily papers, all the historians, novelists, poets, eoeayi.Ms and writers have been tried, and nearly all have failed. We might say all; for after a display of brilliancy, brief and grand, they died out, literally. Their resources were exhausted. "I can," said the late editor of the Times, to Moore, "find any number of men of genius to write for me, but very sel dom one man of common sense." Nearly all successful editors have been men of this description. Campbell, Caryle, Bulger and Disraeli failed: Barnes, Stirling, Philips, succeeded ; and Delane and Lowe succeed ed. A good editor seldom writes for his paper: he reads, judges, selects, dictates, directs, alters and combines ; and to do this well be has but little time for composition. To write for a paper is one thing to edit a paper, another. Exchange. Poute Children. A writer in the Illus trated London Times says that "American children are much handsomer than English children and much more polite. They hava greater confidence in their parents, which is the result of freedom of-intercourse." We believe this to be strictly true although most Americans are always raisJnsjh ej n it?r jrJLF.fv? :UH-& uu.4 . lion Old Hickory Imprisoned the Judge. Soon after General Jackson arrived in New Orleans, in the latter part of the year 1814, he placed that city, and the whole district within his lines, under martial law. This was considered a wise, and even a necessary precaution, and was zealously submitted to by the patriotic portion of the population. After the great battle of the 8th of January, 1815, in which the British were so totally routed, the malccntents of the city began to murmur at the mainte nance of martial law, declaring that as the British had fled, and there was no danger from any foe, the continuance of the mili tary regime was downright tyranny Old Hickory paid ro attention to these mur murs, but went on his iron way, with an eye single to the safety of his country. But soon news came, vague snd unauthentic, that peace had been declared, and then the murmurs of the malcontents became fre quent and loud. The Freoch portion of the population were especially clamorous, and finally they began to get certificates of French citizenship from the French Con sul, hoping thereby to be able to set Old Hickory at defiance. But they mistook their man. As soon as the old hero learned what they were about he ordered them and their Consul to leave New Orleans within three days, and not to come nearer than one hundred and twenty miles of the city until peace should be officially announced. He at the same time took judicious notice of the rumors of peace, and hinting that they might have been circulated by the en emy for the purpose of throwing him off his guard he assured his army and the inhabi tants that the fruits of their glorious victory should not be snatched from them by rea son of any lack of vigilance on his part.and that, until he received official notification from his government that peace had been declared, he should maintain within his lines the mod inflexible discipline. This proclamation produced a prodigious excitement. A Frenchman named Louail Ier, who was a member of the legislature, published in one of the city papers a defi ant commentary upon it, and declared, in substance, that the French citizens would not obey such a tyrannical order. The Gen eral at once had the editor of the naner m a brought before him, and demanded the name of the author of the "mutinous ani cle." The editor gave the authors name ; and a few minutes afterwards, Lon ailler was tapped on the shoulder, as he was promenading the street, by a sergeant at the hea l of a file of soldiers,and informed that he was "my prisoner." He protested against the arrest, engaged a lawyer on the spot, named Morrill, to take charge of h's case, and was marched off to prison. Mor ill at once applied to the United States Jude, named Dominick Hall, for a writ of haheai corpus. The Jude granted the writ; but when the official went to serve it on the General, he seized it, kept posession of it "as evidence against the Jude," gave the officer a certified copy, and at once issued an order for the "arrest of Dominick Hall, on a charge of aiding to excite mutiny in the camp" "Be careful to permit no es capes." wrote the General to the officer de tailed to arrest the Judge, "as the emmissa ries of the enemy are more numerons than we suspected." Rather a hard hit, that, for the United States Jnde. Old Hickory's pen was sometimes sharper than his sword. Judge Hall was speedily arrested, and imprisoned along with his friend Louailler, where they could talk over the matter at their leisure. Bat in a short time, the Gen eral had the Judge escorted beyond hi line, and set at liberty, with a command not to come within the lines until peace should be officially declared. Not long af terward peace was officially declared, and then the General, in an eloquent and heart stirring proclamation, disbanded his heroic army, permitted the civil power to resume its legitimate sway, and released all prison ers confined for disobedience to military orders. Judge Hall returned to the city and deter mined to have his revenue. He soon had the General served with an order to show cause why he should not be attached for contempt of court, &c , kc. On the day of the return, the General, in citizen's dress, and accompanied by the renowned Ldward t Livingston as his counsel, went to the court-room, which was packed with an ea gre multitude, anxious to get a glimpse of the "old hero." As soon as his tall and majestic form was seen, the audience burst into such a tempest of enthusiasm that the Judge, not knowing what the excited throng might do, gave orders to adjourn the court. But the General entertained different views. Springing upon his feat, be waved his arm, and at once a silenct as of the grave per vaded the bushed multitude. Then, in a few words, he remained the audience where they were, and besought every man who was a friend to him, to behave with the de corum due to the place and the occasion. Then turning to the scared Judge, he said, "The same arm that protected this city from the invader will a'so protest ibis court in the discharge ol its duty, or perish in the attempt." So, under the protection ol the General, the court went on. The Judge refused, on technical grounds, to hear Livingston's argument in favor of the General's course, and ordered the at tachment to issue. On the return day of the attachment, the Judge pronounced nine teen interrogateries, which the General de- the decision of the court. The Judge then fined him one thousand dollars, for which amount the General at once drew his check oo a city bank, and thus the matter was for the time ended. But twenty seven years afterwards, A D. 1842, the Congress of the United Slates voted to refund to Generet Jackson that S1C00, with interest to date amounting to some 1 2700, and the money was paid over to the old man, amid the plaudits of the nation. And thereby Con gress and the people set their seal ot appro bation upon the old hero's conduct, and gave judges notice to beware how in criti cal emergencies ihey interfere with com manders called into the field to defend the honor and the safely of the country. tf. Y. Ledger. h a Great Battle at Band Sear Washington. To persons unacquainted with the science of war, it may appear strange that the two contending armies now in the field, in sight of each other, do not immediately come in to collision ; and no doubt many have come to the conclusion that there will be no great battle atier all. That is a very unsafe con clusion. It is evident that the geoerals on either side are maneuvering in order ta obtain some important point which would throw the chances of victory in favor of tha army which had gained the vantage ground. The risk of a general bat le with so many troops is immense, and neither 6ide seems willing to take the initiative at a disadvan tage, though either would gladly give fiht on their own ground- The responsibility is great, and the gen erals are naturally cautious. Davis, it ap pears to us. is too much so for success. He seems to have lost his opportunity. In revolution and in war the assailing party, are, Jorthe most part, animated with great er courage and fight better than the party . who remain on the defensive. Napoleon never waited to be attacked. That there will be a great battle, nowever there seems to be no reasonable doubt. When General Scott is ready he will make such an attack as will prove successful. At present be is outnumbered by the ene my ; but will not long be the case There is only one thing van prevent a battle, and that is that the rebel generals lay down their arms and submit the questions at issue to the arbitration of the people, or their repre sentatives to the United States Congress, or to a convention of the people of all tha States. By adopting this course they may save their necks from the halter, and the country from the effusion of blood. But if they will persist in settJng the question by the arbitrament of the sword, then they must perish by the sword. The integrity of the Union must be maintained at all hazards But General Scott, secure within his en trenchments, at Washington, as was th Duke of Wellington wiihio his famous lines of Torres Vedras, will run no risk. Xtv Yotk Herald. . Privates. Savawnah When the priva teer Savannah was at the dock in Charles ton, just previous to her departure, the citi zens and a detachment of the fair sex visi ted her. The Captain addressed the assem bly, expressing his intention of captnrins the Minnesota, and dispersing other vessels which hover about the harbor. These sen timents were received with enthusiasm. Large qnantities of wine were placed on board, some of which was immediately ns ed, but the greater portion stowed away in the locker, to be used as occasion deman ded. After seizing, the merchant veesel and disposing of her, the Savannah sailed lor the Perry, which purposely sailed away from her, but suddenly tacked, got to fcer windward and opened her port holes. Then the Savannah saw her mistake, and took to her heels. The Perry followed in fullchasa throwing several shot, to which the priva teer paid no attention. At last a heavy shell was thrown, which burst just over the vessel, striking consternation in the hearts of the bold privateers. In a moment nearly every man of them went below and lound solace in the wines furnishes them by their Charleston friend, and when the Perry captured the vesel j nearly all of them were intoxicated. They . knew enough, however, ol their perilous J situation to give the most abject signs of terror. Persons who practice deceit at,d artifice always deceive themselves more, than ihey decive others. They may feel great com placncy in view of the success of their doings; but they are inrealtty casting a tnit before their owu eyes. Such persons not only make a false estimate of their own character; but they estimate falsely the opinions and conduct of others. No person is obliged to tell all he thinks ; but both du ty and self interst forbid himever to maka false pretences. If you love others ; they will love yon. If you S eak kindly to them they will speak kindly to you. Love isjrepaid with love and hatred with haired. Would you "hear a weet and pleasing echo, speak sweetly acd pleasantly yoarseit.
