MARIETTA, APRIL 26, 1862.
Sunday Battles—their Korals
The terrible struggle at Pittsburg add
another to the long list of Sunday bat
tles. And we heartily agree with the
New York Times that the facts are so
clear in thii and numerous other conflicts
and the results have been so uniform
and decisive, that comment is not only
warranted but demanded alike by phil
osophy, patriotism and piety. The gen
eral statement cannot be gainsaid, and
the more important movements of the
National forces, in the early stages of
the present war, were made on Sunday;
and that they were undeniable failures.
Patterson's column was constantly no
torious for its manceuvreing on Sundays
and for little else. Big Bethel, Bull
Run, and Ball's Bluff were the great
blunders and defeats of attacking armies
On Sunday. All these engagements,
excepting Ball's Bluff, under the now
imprisoned Gen. Stone, preceded Gen.
McOlellan's noble Sabbath order.
Thenceforward the rebels have made
the Sunday assaults, with invariable loss
of the battles thus waged. Mill Spring
opened their career of Sunday fighting,
which closes with Pittsburg, The battle
of Winchester was begun on Sunday
morning. The first of these battles cost
the rebels Kentucky; the second, the
valley of Virginia; and the third, the
Mississippi Valley. The Merrimac, too,
after its destructive Saturday's raid ran
a muck against the Monitor on Sunday,
and has spent a month in repairing dam-
agog
Add to the facts, that most of the
Generals commanding whose names—
figure as assailants in. these battles,
were slain in them, or are in disgrace on
account of them, and there is food for
reflection in these bits of history. What
has become of our Gen. Peirce, of Big
Bethel memory ? What of Gen• Stone ?
Where are Zollicoffer and Sidney John
son? In short, since we ceased the busi
ness of Sunday fighting and the rebels
took it up, we have had only victories
to record, and they only defeat and sur
renders. Fort Donelson and Island No.
10 were our Sunday morning benison on
week-day prowess.
Nor are these isolated historical facts.
History is fall of them. The British
ers assailed us in Lake Champlain and
and at New-Orleans on Sunday, and
were dofeated. We assailed them at Que
bec ; our army was repulsed and its
leaders slain. We began the battle of
Monmouth, and had the worst of it.
Napoleon began the battle of Waterloo,
and lost his army and his empire. The
battle of Blenheim, which has been re
peatedly cited by the New York Herald,
with its usual heathenish accuracy, as
a successful Sunday battle, was not
fought on Sunday, but began on Wed
nesday.
We content ourselves with the simple
collation of these suggestive facts. Let
them go to swell that mighty volume of
testimony to the supremacy and stability
of a law as old as creation, which claims
quite other use of one-seventh part of
time than the work of willing human
butchery. Whatever. such skeptics as
the heathen who controls the New York
Herald may say to be contrary, there
is a GOD who rules the destinies of na
tions, and he will vindicate his honor as
well as his power ; and we futher believe
that, in his providence, he will so over
rule events in this national sins, as to
make "the finger of God" so plainly vis
ible that "none may doubt."
Gen. Curtis has issued the fol
lowing order in regard to the emancipa
tion of certain slaves. It is dated,
Headquarters army of the Southwest,
March 26,1862 :
" Charles Morton, Hamilton Kennedy,
and Alexander Lewis, colored men, for
merly slaves employed in the rebel ser
vice, and taken as contraband of war,
are hereby confiscated, and not being
needed ,for the public service, are per
mitted to pass the pickets of this com
mand northward, without let or hin
drance, and are forever emancipated
from the service of masters who allowed
them to aid in their efforts to break up
the Government and the laws of the
country."
The thousand-aud one scandals which
represent Napoleon and his wife as on
bad terms, are absurd fictions. They
continue devoted to each other, and I
dare say, sometimes smile together at
the report of her flirtations and his in
fidelities. Napoleon, who really governs
France, and does the work of half a
dozen ministers, really has no time for
immoralities.
Tor - rin Dollar a Year
The Dandy.
" William, William, shut up the car
riage ; there's a wasp !"
When Sir James de B. !Suddenly in
terrupted a very agreeable conversation
we were having together in his coupe,
during our morning drive in the Bois de
Boulogne, with this plaintive appeal to
his footman, accompanied by such trep
idation of manner as would have been
creditable to the nerves of a superlatively
fine lady, who encounters a spider, or
observes a mouse creeping stealthily
over the carpet—l was disposed to think
him a fool; but a moment's reflection
satisfied me I might be mistaken. I
knew him to be a soldier, and had good
reason to believe him a man of educa
tion and a gentleman. He had led his
regiment into action with the same ele
gant nonchalance that would have mark
ed his entree into the drawing room, and
had ordered his men to the charge with
a bon mot. This freak of dismay had
disturbed a discussion his talents and
acquirements rendered delightful; and
his politeness soon offered atonement
for the annoyance it had occasioned me.
But when he was a dandy, besides, and
the mystery of the moment was explain
ed, for it was as consistent with this
latter character to acquire notoriety by
the affectation of concern in a trifle that
would have passed unnoticed by ordi
nary men, as of its absence in circum
stances where it would have been natu
ral and common to ordinary heroes.
Yes, reader, Sir James was a dandy;
but not of the tribe by tailors "fashioned
when they make a gross"—mere moving
models, to display their handicraft, and
fit for little else ; lost if not seen ; dis
graced if the cut be not.faultless ; un
fortunate in a tie. The Baronet owed
little of his distinction to his Schneider,
beyond very gentlemanly apparel; and,
though his laundress did her duty, starch
was not in excess, nor did it make, with
him, the man. His exterior was alto
gether, conzme it fact ; but to have been
remarkable, in any particular of dress or
manner, would have violated that com
plete ensemble of propriety in both, he
aimed at, and which, like perfect har
mony, would be such no longer, wore
one note, however agreeable, distinguish
able in the diapason. Then, too, he
was unimpeachable in that delightful
essential of good breeding, quiet; s'
intolerant of noise, that, perhaps, afte
all, he was sincere in his emotion, and
rather annoyed by the buzzing of the
insect, than apprehensive of its sting.—
His illustrious prototype, the luxurious
Sybarite, the first on record of the genus
dandiorum, had agozed on his couch
because a crumpled rose-leaf had been
left between it and his person ; and why
might not Sir James complain of still
greater calamity, threatening his noon
day's possivity ? But he did not com
plain. He lisped forth his apprehen
sions and his wishes to Wiliam, in one
brief sentence, then immediately re
sumed his equinimity, and was himself
again, in calmness and intelligence, after
this little coup de maitre, which even
Brummell would have approved.
But when shall we look for a repre
sentative of this great master, before
whose mighty effrontery all modern
achievement sinks into insignificance ?
Princes trembled at his sneer, , and the
aristocracy of rank and fashion took its
direction from his nod. His approval
could create ; his derision was annihila
tion. Omnipotent in ridicule, satire fell
harmless on his own extravagances, only
to recoil on his assailants, or to give to
his conceits the notoriety they sought
for, and to add to his triumphs, until
overweening audacity prompted to a
flight his genius could not sustain, nor
royal lenity excuse. That fatal pull of
the bell announced his doom, and sent
him to exile, which, to one of his com
plexion, was worse than death.
Immortal Brummell, it has been my
fortune, in a life of various vicissitude
and adventure, to witness the preten
tious of many of thy survile imitators,
from Russia's Imperial coxcomb to the
village bean; but they were as pigmies
to the giant original, who knew no rival,
and left no successor. Better for thee
to have quitted the scene where thou
stoodest alone in thy glory, than to be
hold the cause for which thou didst live
and suffer, multiplied in numbers, but
failing in renown ; better than -to see
that become a mere metier in the hands
of a mechanic, which thy genius made a
science, few have attained to, and in
which none have approached to perfec
tion but thyself.

RULES FOR UOME EDUCATION.—The ,
following are worthy of boing printed in
letters of gold, and being placed in a
conspicuous position in every household :
1. From your children's earliest in
fancy, inculcate the necessity of instant
obedience.
2. Unite firmness with gentleness.—
Let your children always understand
that you mean exactly what you say.
3.. Never promise them anything un
less you are sure you can give them what
you promise.
4. If you tell a child to do anything,
show him how to do it and see that it is
done.
5. Always punish your children for
willfully disobeying you, but never pun
ish iu anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they
can vex you, or make you lose your self
commaud.
7. If they give way to petulance and
temper, wait till they are calm, and then
gently reason with them on the impro
priety of their conduct.
8. Remember that a little present
punishment, when the occasion arises, is
more effectual than the threatening of a
greater punishment should the fault be
renewed.
9. Never give your children anything
because they cry for it.
10. On no account allow them to do
at one time what you have at another
time under the same circumstances for
bidden.
11. Teach them that the only sore
and easy way to appear good is to be
good.
12. Accustom them to make their
little recitals the - perfect truth.
-13. Never allow of tale-bearing.
14. Teach .them that self-denial, not
self-indulgence, is the appointed and sure
method
The last words of distinguished men have
always been a matter of interest to the
world, Those of Washington, John
Marshall, John Q. Adams, Webster, and
Calhoun, are remembered and often
repeated. And now those of Gen. Ben
McCullough have passed into history.
When the surgeon, with faltering voice
and a tear in his eye, told Ben ho was
dying, Ben looked up, and, with unfal
tering countenance and in firm tone,
remarked "Oh Hell"! That was Ben's
last, Ben evidently know where he was
going. He greeted his haven as he was
about to enter it:t
fEr There is nothing like courage in
misfortune. Next to faith in God, and
in his overruling Providence, a man's
faith in himself is his own salvation.—
It is the secret of all power and success.
It makes a man strong as the pillared
iron; or elastic as the springing steel.
The Baltimore American says that
slaves there, of a description to have
brought one thousand dollars before this
rebellion, cannot be sold for one hund
red.
Cr A Zoological distinction—The

RELIGION--WHAT IS IT ?
Is it to go to church to-day,
To look devout and seem to pray,
And ere to-morrow's sun goes dowir
Be Dealing slander through the town "I'
Does every sanctimonious face
Denote the certain reign of grace?
Does not a phiz that scowls at sin
Oft veil hypocracy within ?
h it to make our daily walk,
And of our own good deeds to talk,
Yet often practice secret crime,
And thus mis-spend our precious tune?
Is it for sect and creed to fight,
To call our zeal the rule of right,
When what we wish is, at the best,
To see our church excel the rest?
Is it to wear the Christian dress,
And love to all mankind profess,
To treat with scorn the humble poor,
And bar against them every door'?
Oh, not religion means not this:
Its fruit more sweet and fairer is—
Its precept this: to others do
As you would have them do to you
it grieves to hear an ill report,
And scorns with human woes to sport—.
Of others' deeds it speaks no ill,
But tells of good or else keeps still.
And does religion this impart?
Then may its influence fill my heart ;
Oh ! haste the blissful, joyful day,
When all the earth may own its sway
PRENTICE-C TITS.
Since the fall of Sumpter the rebels
have never taken a fort or strongly for
tified position, while they have been
compelled to vacate and surrender places
of immense strength.
The salt famine in the Southern Con
federacy is dreadful. Lot's wife would
bring seventy-five cents a pound there.
Her little finger or little toe would be
deemed a seasonable prize.
Some young rebels in this city talk
of joining the Southern Confederacy.
They can't join it. The thing is vir
tually broken and all the joiners in the
world couldn't join it.
A Missouri paper says that the rebels
"get ahead of the Devil himself in thea
atrocities." We have no doubt that
they are always ahead of him, certainly
he is after them.
It is said that Gen. Price had one of
his hands shot off at Pea Ridge. So,
like an imperfect timepiece, he hasn't
any second-hand.
Beauregard wants to make cannon out
of bells. We tried to make a big gun
of John Bell and coldn't. But he wasn't
true metal.
We don't know that we could take
No. 10, but, when we were treated by a
steam doctor a few years ago, we took
No. 6, without the least difficulty.
The Charleston Mercury thinks that
the Southern Confederacy will soon be
delivered. .We wonder what sort of a
little monster the brat' will be.
All the bridges destroyed by the re
bels should, after their reconstruction,
be used as scaffolds for the hanging of
the offenders made suspension bridges.
Gov. Wise, while he hung John Brown,
talked enthusiastically of the old man's
nerve. It seems then that a chap can
admire nerve without having it.
There's no room for live rebel soldiers
in Kentucky. It is enough that her soil
is defiled by the carcasses of some thous
ands of dead ones.
Our old friend Fanny Fent the piqu
ant has parted from her third husband.
So there's room for some other enterpri

The Southern rebels, who complain of
such a scarcity of salt, will find enough
of it when they are driven into the Gulf.
Why is Gen. Floyd like one of the
loyal Generals upon the Potomac ?
Because he is a General Hooker.
At the approach of the Federal armies
the hottest rebel papers get, as cool as
if conducted by so many Coolies.
There will be very few noses left in
the rebel Confederacy. Every rebel
seems to be biting off, his own.
The Richmond rebels are sending
away their whisky and tobacco. Of
course they will follow soon.
When Floyd is hung, he will be, like
all the statements he makes, without
the least foundation.
"What is the chief end of man ?" Of
ordinary men the head. Of Humphrey
Marshall—not.
The Confederate rulers are like the
Confederate notes—there'Ei nothing to
redeem them.
Gen. Beauregard forms very ingenious
plans ; but, like a lazy servant won't
work.
The rebels have courage enough to
destroy their cities and towns but not
to destroy themselves.
We are silencing the batteries of the
rebels everywhere. When shall we si=
hence their months ?
The rebel Confederacy is sick and
needs to be treated with powder and
pill.
Humphrey Marshall hag ono great ad
vantage in war; he can't be outflanked.
The Rebel Confederacy sprung, in the
Fall, and it is likely to fall in the Spring.
