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. Alas for Faure. The hero of a thous- NO. 39. and fields fretted out his miserable rem merit of existence on an isolated ruck, lashed; as if in scorn, by that element which had ever scoffed at his suprema cy. The arbiter of fashion, the dictator to that exclusive world, for whose ap proving fiat heroes bled and dandies dress, was destined to. —" a foreign strand, A petty village, and a stranger's hand— To leave a man, at which that 'world' grew pale, To ose a column, and eke out a tale." 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.

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 sing young man. 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.
