Steedmuu*# diviniom ol the Jlceervo Corpa bowed their heads to the hurtling storm o! lea las if it had been rain, and t.eiroved signs of breaking. The lino wnvcred liko a great llag in a hreith of wind. Tlu-y were as splendid material a* ever about* ijiwl a musket, but then what could they do in such a blinding teuipe«t ? (Jen. Stood man rode up. A great hearty man. hroad-hrv.ibt- ed, broad-shouldered, a I'uco written all over with fturdy fc'nw and stout courage ; no la- dy's man to mak» bouquets lor snowy lingers and sing '.Meet mo by moonlight alone,' like some generals 1 could name, hut realizing the id»>:iI of my boyhood w hen 1 read of thestout old Morgan of tho Revolution. Well, up rode Steedumn. took tho Hag from tho eolor- bvarer, glanced along the wavering front, and with that voiccof his, that could talk against n small rattle of musketry, cried out, 'Go hack, boys, go Kick, but the flag can'! go with you!' grasped tho staff, wheeled his boim-, and rode on. Must I toll you that the column closed up and grew firm, and moved rcsistlessly on like a great strong riv- er, and swept down upon tho foo, and made a record that shall live when their graves are as empty ms tho cave of M*c|>elah !" Pi.win Oct.—One of the editors of n Democratic paper, in a largo city, about sixty mile* off, wbilo conversing with a loy- al flnve own»*r from Ti'OtMW*, deplored tlie condition of that Statu, ami commenced the well worn tirade against Charles Sumner and th* radicals. IK' w>ut put to silencs hv the Southerner, who assured him that the rebel*, and not the abolitionists, were responsible for the war. The radical dodge wont do any longer. «y The fact that TutUs,a War Democrat, wart doieated in Iowa, a* well ■»« Yallandig- ham. a Peace Democrat, in Ohio, shows that tlie loyal naiw« will not trnst any man the Copperhead leuder* put foward. In Iowa, the nan who made an anti-wsr platform, put (Jen. Tuttlo, a brave foldier, upon it as the uoinince. ar 'Fred/ «uid a little four year old Iwy, the other day, 'giro me a sixpence to huy u monkey?' •We're got a monkey in ,the houso now,' replied tho elder brother.— 'Who is it, Fred?' asked tho littlu fellow.— You,* was the reply. 'Then gire me a six pcucc to buy the monkey soiuunut*.' His brother 'shelled out.* I Errors of tbo Press. Nothing cuu more annoying to authors and publishers than error* ot tho proas; and jet tlioM who aro nuskillod in tho art of printing can scarcely conecivo tho difficulty of avoiding thorn. Tho art of proof-read- ing with perfect accuracy is a high and dif- ficult attainment. To urrivo at ordinary ac- cuamoy in a daily newspaper, requires tho re linj; and correction of at least two proofs; and even then «n alitor, who has not hecimio ca«a harden d hy long practico and long en- duranco, will ofton be shocked at tho trans- formation of Benaq into nonsense, or thtt plucking of tho point out of tho neatest paragraphs hv a typographical error. Typographical errors happen in a varioty of ways ; sometimes hy ignoranco and stupidity of tho printer, aud sometimes hy design.-— Occurring in either way, they aro often ludi- crous, and sometimes productive of positive evil. A few examples of each kind will •ufficc. An edition of tho Rihle was onco published in England, in which tho word not was omit- ted in tho eleventh commandment. For this oflenco, whether by earelcssncs or design, tho archtiielmp imposed tho heavioat penalty known in hintory. Tho edition was required to bo called in and deatroyed, and a Goo im- posed of £20.000 sterling. Tlicro was ti wore 6cvoro punishment than oven this awarded in Germany onco, for w'lful alteration of the sacred text. It •eoras that in Gen. iii. 16, tho Ilehrcw word which has been rendered husband in tho English translation, is lord in tho German. It is the pas«.igo in which God tells Evo:— "And thy desire ahull be to thy husband, and ho ahull rulo over theo " The German word signifying lord in Ilcrr; and in tho samo language tho word Narr answers for fool.— Tho ease was tins: A new edition of the Biblo was printing at tho houso of a widow whose huslund had been u printer. Tho spirited lady, not liking tho subordinate sta- tion of her sex, and having acquired u little knowledge of tho urt, watched an opportu- nity by night to enter tho oiRco; and while tho form was lying on tho press, she careful* ly drew out tho letters 11 and f, aud insert* ing in their stead tho letters ATi. Tiio out- rage wai not discovered in season, and tho Biblo went forth declaring that man should l)e tho woman's fool. Such, probably js tot) often tho oaso, but tho gentleman would not like to sco it in print. Gravely, however, the person committing such an ofl'enco must need* stand in awful apprehension of tho fourful curso denounced iu the conclusion of the Apocalypse. a »!.f 4l n.*i. If- \f! 1 ail VUIIC'II VI IIIU VHHIUIIV. ««»« once published in Franco, in which tho acci- dental substitution merely of tiio u lor a, was the cauw of a shocking blunder, chang- ing. as it did, the word calotte, (an ecclesias- tical cap or mitre) into culottr which, ns uiy readers um aware, means in drawing-room English, a gentleman's hiiiuII clothes. The error occurred in oiiu of tho directions for conducting the service, where it in said: •'ll-re tho priest will take oil hid culotte Among tho errors that liavo occurred through d"fign, was 0110 which happened in tho old Hudson 11 dunce, when the llov. Dr. Crtwwell wm editor of that ancient and ex- cellent journal. A merchant by tho name of Peter Cole chanced to get married. Colo, however, was very unpopular, and was not ono of tho brightest intelligence* even of those days. Tho bride, too, was a little more no than yes, in her intellectual lurnivhmcnt. It used to Ik> a common practice in the coun- try. in sending marriages to tho press, to tuck on a bit of pootry in the shape of somo sweet hymcnial sentimentality. In complianco with this custom, tho groomsman added a lino or two Iroiu ouc of tho poets, where tho bard speaks of tho murringo state, "when heart meets h^art reciprocally soft." The wicked boys in tho printing offico, however, corrected the poet, makiug tho stanza read thus: "When hmd w^ets h<ati rvclprocilly »on.*' Another instance tuoro ludirous still, was tho following: A lad in a printing office, who knew more about typo netting than he did of the (ireok mythology, in looking over n poem they wcro printing, came upon tho namo of Ihcnlr, ono of th.5 lady divinities o! tho lower world, occuring in a lino liko this: "Shall rclRn tho I/rent* of the dcopnit hell." Tho l>oy thinking ho had discovered nn error, ran to tho master printer, and cn«|iiir- ed oagerly whether thurc wa* an t in cut.— "Why, no, you blockhead," was the reply. Away went the boy to tho prow room, and extrneted tho ohjectional letter. But fancy tho horror of both po*t and publisher when tho poetn appeared with the lino : "Shall rci^n tho lit eat of the deep*»t hell." But let a form of types,' arranged either for book or now* pa per, bo ever bo correct when sent to pnnn errors not nnfre<|uently happen from yot another chum.', vi/.: liabili- ty of now and then n letter to drop out, when the form has not been projwtly adjust- ed, or loeked sufficiently tight in the iron frame which by printer* is called a chate. How important the Iom of a single letter may become is seeu by the following exam- plo: A printer puttiug to pr«M n form of tho Common Prayer, thoc in tho following pamugo dropped out unpercoivcd by him: We aliaH all l*> changed in tho twinkling of au eye." When tho book appeared, to the horror of tho devout worshipper, the passage rvad : "Wo shall all bu hnug-d in the twink- ling of *n eye." In a Court Journal which published the account of the death of their Queon, men- tion wm made of tho sorrow of the nation in consequence of tho Queen's "domino"; tho typos made the nation mourn over "tho Queen'a chemise"! But, after all, whon it is considered of how many separate and minute pieces of metal a book form or tho pa^e of a newspaper is composed, tho wonder is that errors of tho prvtM are not far more numerous than thoy nro. A single page of one our largest pa- pers cannot contain leas than 150,000 supu- rato pieces of metal, ouch or w^ich auust bo nlcflty adjusted In its own propor place, or errors and confusion will onsuo. Northern Traitors. In his able speech beforo tho Massachu- setts Republican State Convention, hold at Worcwter. Hon. Henry Wilson dealt tho following tolling blow at Northern Traitors in general, and Franklin Fierco in particu- lar: "They arraign tho Government for arbi- trary arrests. Who has boon arrested in Massachusetts? No one many ought to bo. (Loud applause.) Does not that apos- tate, Franklin Fiorco, tread the soil of New- England? (Vociferous applause.) Does not that man who told Jeff. Davis beforo Novem- ber, 1859, that if an army was sent into the South for subjugation it would have a battle to fight on the Northern soil with doubtful results, go free hero in Now.England ? Does not that man, who, in January, 1860, whon Democratic traitors wero pacing tho halls of Congress, liko caged tigers, ready to spring at tho lifo of tho nation, wrote to Jefferson Davis that if it catno to blows tho huttlo was not to be on Mason and Dixon's line merely, but was to bo hero on tho soil of New England, continue to insult the patriot- ism of tho people? Did not tbeso words of treason encourago Jefferson Davis and his traitor compeers to raise tho standard of re- volt against tho country? (Applausn.)— Does not this Government, this reviled Ad- ministration, permit that traitor to walk free hero in tho sunlight of our own New England? Does not tho Government allow these men of Massachusetts to slander it as much as they plonso? Who has harmed them? Who? And yet tho Government U arraigned for making a few nrre?ts of men who are plotting against tho lifo of their na- tion/ I say to ^ou, gentleiu :n, here to day, what 1 have said on tho floor of tho Con- gress of tho United Statos, and if God gives me liberty I mean to say it again, (applause,) that tho Government is to be hlatned less for making tho arrests than for not making mora of them, (llenowod applause.) If ( hud tho power, I would take these men who are plotting ugaiiiHt tho life of the nation, when- ever they are of consequence enough to do so, and I would hold them in the gripo ol American patriotism, until they ceased to l>o dangeroes to tho country, when I would fling tho worthless things away. (laughter and cheers ) Thoy arraign the Government for arbitrary arrests; for arresting Valun- dighuiu, who, in the lunguugo of Commo- dore Maury, in tho London Times, 'is watch- ing over tho border,' and, if oleated, ho means to put the State of Ohio against tho Administration of tho Nation. It was an unpardonable crime to arrest him and send linn to nis irienas, ^lauguicr,; -away -jinvn in Dixie!' Gentlemen, our fathers arrestid Tories in tint Revolution. WnHhin^ton ar- rested tlio Valandighams of hid day; ho tried them, shut thorn up in prison*, and res pec table,conservative Tories didn't like it, and no douht |> issod resolutions against it.— Have you ever heard anybody denounce Washington and the patriot** of the Involu- tion for arresting thu Torius o| their day? After tlio rebellion shall liuvo Ikvu crushed, you cannot lind men bold enough to arraign the Government of tlio United States (or arresting them men who aro plotting treason against tlio country. The patriotism of thu nation will blast, withur and consume tlio men who should arraign thu Government tor putting their hands upon plotting traitors." Who is tiik Democrat?—A copperhead authority complains tlmt Vioe President Hamlin lately addressed'small political gath- erings at the'cross roads and in the taverns of the rural districts of Maine.' Tlio critic claims, of course, to bo peculiarly Dem- ocratic. Hut he has yot to learn that at just such cross road, and district school-room and tavern-parlor mooting*, the public opin- ion is educated mid formed which governs the country. And it is the glory of our sys- tem that no office exalts u man beyond his duties as a citizen, ono of the first of which is the instruction and' enlightenment of his neighbor. When John Quincy Adams, hav- ing Iwwn President, goes to Congrces as a Representative, he illustrates perfectly tho truly Democratic character of our institu- tions. And when Mr. Ilamlin, being Vico President, confers with his fellow-citizens upou their public duty in a time of great national peril, it is a signal example which every faithful Amoricun will emulate. It is not thoso that err 'Lord, Lord,' who art* most religious. Nor is it thoso who call thcmsclvos 'Democrats,' who are most demo- cratic. It wuuld be hard to lind in our history two men inoru simply, honestly, and entirely democratic than Abraham Lincoln und Hannibal Hamlin.—Harfxr's Weekly.

A few straggling note* from your "own oor- res|>ond*ntM from this place may not bo whol- ly uninteresting; and I will venture to jot down ft few of my observations, stating at the out- set that I propose writing of those topics not ponerally spoken of by Washington correspon- dents. All is as quiot here as usual and noth- j ins reminds a casual visitor that there is a | stupendous oivil war in operation, the result of which has everything to do with the existence of this place as a seat of Government, and of our country as a Power on the earth. One only sees here tho representatives of the differ- ent branches of the Government service. Most of them waiting forordors, or on aiurlougli from tedious and long service. At all times of day and night may be Men riding to and fro, cavalry men most of them good represetatlvea of yankecs. Oftcner than ever beforo do we incet disabled soldiers on their way to homo or hospital,nnd very many without an arm or les. One poor follow I saw had both arms taken off, as he said, at Fredericksburg. So many of those distrusting sights does one seo hero aud elsewhere—the result of war, and so many do we see that really need nud require our aid and sympathy, that onr purses can never bo too of- ten opened to reliovn them. And I am glad to be ablo to say it, the generosity of no people has been moro nobly displayed than by loyal Amer- icatis in this war. I pray the stream of money and sympathy may yet continue to flow out to these needy sufferers. Let the people give and continue to give to the needy, suffering defend- ers of their country; 'tis by tho valor of our army and uavy alouo that our country will be saved from its wouM-be destroyers, and may it never be said they needed succor and it was uot given them. iic i_ji|)hui is ucin^ giii. rcTiuy iur mo mcci- inpj of Congress. The dome nnd I ho atatue upon its top arc expected to be Anished by the time Congress meets. The Cnpitol extension on the North East wing is nearly completed, nnd when all finished 'twill bo a structure worthy this groat nation, solid and gigantic in its proportions as it is beautiful and complete in its architectural design. Tho horse cars are an institution here, ns well as in every well regulated oity, which does a great service for a small compensation; for you may now ride from Georgetown to the Navy Vard (or five cents, which would cost at least one dollar and a half to go by any other conveyance, fur you must remember that coach drivers here arc the grcadiest set of fellows to be found in the country. Taking the horse cars hero on Pennsylvania Avenue, if you please, will ride down to Seventh Street. Here tho conductor gives us a check, which wo use on tha Seventh st. car; this car brings us to tho river near tho Long Ilridge, nnd embarking hero we will go on hoard a small steamer nnd tnko a short ride, this fine day, down tho Potomac. Passing tho Navy t'ard on the left and Arlington ([eights on our right, we soon reach the old city of Alexandria, onco busy and thriving, now dull nnd quiet. One sees liar.lly any but soldiers about, and they are to be seen in all directions. There is an indication that nt some time some kin<l nt business thrived hero, for tiio loadways all through the town are cut up, rutted, gul- lied and in a horrible state. I never saw paved roadways in sueh a bad condition—'twould be impossible to ride over theso roads at a rato faster than a walk. We go post tho hnuso where the ever to be lamented Ellsworth, ono of our coun'ry's ear- liest defenders, fell. A flag is kept flying from the window to direct the stranger to the spot. As we passed about tho town we looked in at the door of an old fashioned brick school house, where we heard much noise, and to our astonishment found it a mixed school. Wo asked a man who seemed to bo the teacher it the white and colored children get along to- gether well? "Oh," said he, "these are all niggers here." But, said I, there are several light, straight-haired children who havo white skins, how of them T "They are only niggers" was the reply. 1 could not help wondering to myself, if these little children whom I mistook for "white" children aro nothing but "nig- gers," where is tho ruloor gnge that will enable one to state dellmtoly the exact point at which a body ceases to be white and commences to be a "nigper"! & r*r>anj^ uii <• oiiuii <• iotmaviv nn vuiiiu •<# mv ntation of the Alexandria and Richmond Rail Komi, which wo found to he enclosed with a stockadc, which as you know is uiado by driv- ing lot{« into the ground, m near to each other as itotsible, these tftro about twelve feet high and at this height sawed off. Insido the stock* ade was a lurgn number of engines* and other rolling stock belonging to this and other roads. Jui-t here has been a tire, and we were told that these are the last ot the slave pens in this place. At this place we patued an old church in which we were told Washington worshipped.— All may well revere it for his sake as well tlioy may whatever was his or connected with hiin. We saw three laiy{« rows of wooden build- ings and made inquiry what they are, and Were told they are frvodmons' homes—or contra- band barracks. As we wished to see anything and everything ucw, we ventured to peep iu, ami happened to look into the school ro tin, where was a largo lot of boys and girls, learn- ing to read; also in looking about other parts of the barracks wc found older persons with their books intent ou learning to read. I was told by the superintendent that the male con- trabands readily find work, and are "Ketting ou" in their new homes very well, nearly all of the men getting money enough to pay rent for the room they occupy. They need books and clothes, and medicincs and many other thiugs for the childrcu, inlirm and sick. They come to the free air, and want help only until they can learn to take caro of themselves, which will only bo for a short time. Surely, some- thing done for theso poor down trodden and unfortunate people of our land, is something done for humanity and for God!

Aokiccltcral Rsrorr ma Octobo.—Tho report of the Commissioner of tho Agrieul- tural Department, for October, ahowa tho fall crop# juet aown to he full average crop*, l*)th in amount and appearance. Tho condi- tion of the fattening hogs in tho Western States is not as favorable as usual, owing to tho prevalence of tho hog cholera. Tho pro- duction of sorghum haa fallen off three and a quarter million gallons, owing to the ear- ly frosta. The value of fronted corn for fattening hogs and cattle ia very small. Tho amount of old corn in the country is much 1 reduoed by tho army demand for it during the summer. Accustom yourselves to keep aecrtte. If you havn'l any, borrow your neighbor's. Losing a Seat in Oongreu. •Sir, bring ins a good plain dinner,' said a melancholy-looking individual to a waiter in ono ol the principal hotels in ——, New York. Tho dinner was brought and devoured .and the eater called tho landlord aiido and thus addrettood him : •You are tho landlord ?' •Yes.' •You do a good business here?' •Yes.'

'I will take your coat.' •If I go into the street without that such weather an it is, I may get my doath.' •You should havo thought of that before you caiao here.' •Aro you ocrious?

Seven years alter that, n woalthy man entered tho political arena, and was presented by a caucus as an applicant for tlio congressional nomination. Tne prin- cipal of thn caucus hold his pcaco; he heard the story of tho applicant, who was tho most respectable of citizens. lie was chairman. Tho voto was a tic. and ho cast a negative, thereby defeated tho applicant, whom ho met an hour afterward, und to whom ho said : 'You don't romcmber rau?' •No.' 'I onco ate a dinner at your hotel; and al- though I told vou I was famishing, and pledged my word and honor to pay you in a week, you took my coat and saw me go out into tho inclomcnt air at tho risk of my lifo without it' 'Well, sir, what then V •Not much.

The Proper Way to Bit a Colt. Farmers often put a hitting harness on a colt tlio lirnt tiling they do with liira, buck- ling up the hitting a* tight Hi thoy can draw it, to inaka him carry hi* head high, und then turn hiin out In a lot to run u half day At a time. This in one of the worst puuinh- ments that thoy could inflict on a colt, und rery injurious to a young horse that has been used to running in pasture with hi* head down. A )ion»<S shoukftio well accustomed to tlio bit before you put on tlio hitting hurnoss, und when you lint hit liini you should only rein hiit head up to that point whero ho naturally holds it, let that Im high or low ; ho will learn that ho cannot lower his head, and that raising it a little will loosen the bit in his inouth. This will giro him tho idea of raising his head to loosen the hit, and thcu you cun draw the bitting a little tighter every timo you put it on, and ho will still raise his head to loosen it. By this meant you will gradually get his head and neck in tho position you wish him to carry it, and giro him a graceful carriago, without hurt- Ing him, making him angry, or causing his mouth to get sore. If you put tho bitting on very tight tho first timo, ho cannot riso his head enough to loosen it, but will l*ar on it all tho timo, and paw, sweut and throw himself. Many horses have lieen killed by falling backward with tho hitting on; their heads bring drawn up, strike tho ground with tho wliolc weight jf tho body. Horses that have their heads drawn up tightly should not havo the bitting an moro than fifteen or twenty minute* at a timo.—Karri/. Tho subject of imprr**ion at flrafc night was being talked over at tea table, when the ludj who presided miid that *he alwajs formed an idea of a perron at tint sight: »nd that idea was generally correct. 'Mam- ma,' said her youngest eon in a ahrill voice that attracted the attention of all present. WdII my dtNir.' raid tho fond mother, 'what do you want?" 'I want to know,' mid Voung America, 'what you thought irAen you Jirti sate Ml?

The London 'Fun' aaya, Forgetfulnw ia tho child which ia dandled ia the lapse of time. There ia no moral worth in being awepl away by a crowd, even towards tho beat of objecta. We ahould tako care that we do not make our profcaaion of religion a receipt in full for all other obligationa. Robert Hall said of family prayers, 'It serves aa an edgo and a border to preserve tbe web of life from unravelling.' Young men, are, in general, little aware how much their reputation ia affected in the publio view, by tho company they keop.— The character of their associates ia aoon re- garded as thoir own. LittJo Daisy's minima waa trying to ex- plain to her the uionuing of a amile. 'Oh yea! I know,' said the child, 'U ia a whia* per of a laugh.' At an examination of girli for the rite of confirmation, in answer to tho question •What ia tho outward and visible aign and form in haptism ?' the reply was, 'Tho baby, air?' Did you erer know a man too poor to talcs a paper, that did not spend one dollar a woflk upon rum and tobacco? The cottage of the •Dairyman's Daughter.' in tho Isle of Wight, eelobrated through the writing* of Rev. Leigh Richmond, if advertised for rale. Many men mistake the lovo for the prao- tico of virtuo, and are not so much good men as thoy aro the friends of goodncas. John B. Qougli rays ho once showed a la- dy a picture of Raphael's •Holy Family.' asking her opinion of it, when sho ox* claimed—'Lor! how cunning!' Why is sending a man a letter with a ten dollar bill in it like turning him out of the church? Becauso it is un X-cominunication. A fortress is generally captured mora easi- ly tho second timo than tho first. This h as true of a widow's hoart as of other strong* holds. The individual who attempted to raise colts from horse chesnuta went into the mar* ket tho other day, and inquired for a mock* turtlo, to rnako mock-turtle soup of. Tho three rules giren by tho oclebrated John Hunter for tho rearing of healthy children wore, 'plenty of inilk, plenty of sleep, aud plenty of flannel.' Don't always ho paying m-rvants to wait on you : it is choapcr to wait on yourself.— But it is choapor to koep a dozen profession- al fools than to play tho fool yourself. A foolish friond of ours declares that the discovory of tho source of tho Nile in the dark nges would havo boon called an act of souroe-ry. Tho sympathy of Christ extends to the frailties of huutan nature; not to its har- dened guilt;—lie is 'touched with tho feel- ing of our infirmities.' Ft is worth tho effort of a lifetime to ho ahlo to dlu well, to dio at a good old ago, in pcaoe with all mankind, and in a well* grounded faith of an immortal lifo beyond. A young Republican of liucksport mado tho following query to a copperhead in that town: ''Why are i->)>perhead* liko tho earth?" Aits, "because they are flattunid at the pole* It is especially imjiortant just now that clcrgymeu, in marrying i\ couple, should not n.'gleet to givo a certificate of the marriage, or to ipake a registration of it. In case of the death of a soldier, the widow must ham a certifle ito of marriage before she can m- eoive a pension. An Irishman recently said ; "Ireland gate me a birth pluco, which wu« all she could givo; England gavo my father a dungeon ; but America gavo me a good home, and be jaiiers, I'm a Union man from the ground up —all the time." In one of Washington Irving's letters, written in 18M, ho says to a friend in Paris, "Louis Napoleon and Eugenie Montijo, Em- peror and Empress of France! one of whom I have had a guest at my cntUge on the Hudson ; the other, when a child, I havo hud on my kneo at Granada ! It seems to rap the climax of the strange dramas of which Paris has been tho theatre during toy lifetime" That won n beautiful idea expressed by a Christian lady on her deathbed, in rrply to a remark of her brother Oho wan taking Ioato of her to return to hisdintaut rcsidrnoe, that ho *11011 Id probably never meet her in the land of the tiring •Hrother, I (rust wa rhall meet in tho land 'of the living.

    J ivl DEA R!NO, »t' %* near 4 o'clock on that blazing afternoon, when a part ol Gen. Steedmuu*# diviniom ol the Jlceervo Corpa bowed their heads to the hurtling storm o! lea las if it had been rain, and t.eiroved signs of breaking. The lino wnvcred liko a great llag in a hreith of wind. Tlu-y were as splendid material a* ever about* ijiwl a musket, but then what could they do in such a blinding teuipe«t ? (Jen. Stood man rode up. A great hearty man. hroad-hrv.ibt- ed, broad-shouldered, a I'uco written all over with fturdy fc'nw and stout courage ; no la- dy's man to mak» bouquets lor snowy lingers and sing '.Meet mo by moonlight alone,' like some generals 1 could name, hut realizing the id»>:iI of my boyhood w hen 1 read of thestout old Morgan of tho Revolution. Well, up rode Steedumn. took tho Hag from tho eolor- bvarer, glanced along the wavering front, and with that voiccof his, that could talk against n small rattle of musketry, cried out, 'Go hack, boys, go Kick, but the flag can'! go with you!' grasped tho staff, wheeled his boim-, and rode on. Must I toll you that the column closed up and grew firm, and moved rcsistlessly on like a great strong riv- er, and swept down upon tho foo, and made a record that shall live when their graves are as empty ms tho cave of M*c|>elah !"

    Pi.win Oct.—One of the editors of n Democratic paper, in a largo city, about sixty mile* off, wbilo conversing with a loy- al flnve own»*r from Ti'OtMW*, deplored tlie condition of that Statu, ami commenced the well worn tirade against Charles Sumner and th* radicals. IK' w>ut put to silencs hv the Southerner, who assured him that the rebel*, and not the abolitionists, were responsible for the war. The radical dodge wont do

    any longer.

    «y The fact that TutUs,a War Democrat, wart doieated in Iowa, a* well ■»« Yallandig- ham. a Peace Democrat, in Ohio, shows that tlie loyal naiw« will not trnst any man the Copperhead leuder* put foward. In Iowa, the nan who made an anti-wsr platform, put (Jen. Tuttlo, a brave foldier, upon it as the uoinince.

'Then gire me a six pcucc to buy the monkey soiuunut*.' His brother 'shelled out.* I

    Errors of tbo Press.

    Nothing cuu h« more annoying to authors and publishers than error* ot tho proas; and

    jet tlioM who aro nuskillod in tho art of

    printing can scarcely conecivo tho difficulty of avoiding thorn. Tho art of proof-read- ing with perfect accuracy is a high and dif- ficult attainment. To urrivo at ordinary ac-

    cuamoy in a daily newspaper, requires tho re linj; and correction of at least two proofs; and even then «n alitor, who has not hecimio ca«a harden d hy long practico and long en- duranco, will ofton be shocked at tho trans- formation of Benaq into nonsense, or thtt

    plucking of tho point out of tho neatest paragraphs hv a typographical error.

    Typographical errors happen in a varioty of ways ; sometimes hy ignoranco and stupidity of tho printer, aud sometimes hy design.-— Occurring in either way, they aro often ludi- crous, and sometimes productive of positive evil. A few examples of each kind will •ufficc.

    An edition of tho Rihle was onco published in England, in which tho word not was omit- ted in tho eleventh commandment. For this oflenco, whether by earelcssncs or design, tho archtiielmp imposed tho heavioat penalty known in hintory. Tho edition was required to bo called in and deatroyed, and a Goo im- posed of £20.000 sterling.

    Tlicro was ti wore 6cvoro punishment than oven this awarded in Germany onco, for w'lful alteration of the sacred text. It •eoras that in Gen. iii. 16, tho Ilehrcw word which has been rendered husband in tho

    English translation, is lord in tho German. It is the pas«.igo in which God tells Evo:— "And thy desire ahull be to thy husband, and ho ahull rulo over theo " The German word signifying lord in Ilcrr; and in tho samo language tho word Narr answers for fool.— Tho ease was tins: A new edition of the

    Biblo was printing at tho houso of a widow whose huslund had been u printer. Tho spirited lady, not liking tho subordinate sta- tion of her sex, and having acquired u little knowledge of tho urt, watched an opportu- nity by night to enter tho oiRco; and while tho form was lying on tho press, she careful* ly drew out tho letters 11 and f, aud insert* ing in their stead tho letters ATi. Tiio out- rage wai not discovered in season, and tho Biblo went forth declaring that man should l)e tho woman's fool. Such, probably js tot) often tho oaso, but tho gentleman would not like to sco it in print. Gravely, however, the person committing such an ofl'enco must need* stand in awful apprehension of tho fourful curso denounced iu the conclusion of the Apocalypse.

    once published in Franco, in which tho acci- dental substitution merely of tiio u lor a, was the cauw of a shocking blunder, chang- ing. as it did, the word calotte, (an ecclesias- tical cap or mitre) into culottr which, ns uiy readers um aware, means in drawing-room English, a gentleman's hiiiuII clothes. The error occurred in oiiu of tho directions for conducting the service, where it in said: •'ll-re tho priest will take oil hid culotte

    Among tho errors that liavo occurred through d"fign, was 0110 which happened in tho old Hudson 11 dunce, when the llov. Dr. Crtwwell wm editor of that ancient and ex- cellent journal. A merchant by tho name of Peter Cole chanced to get married. Colo, however, was very unpopular, and was not ono of tho brightest intelligence* even of those days. Tho bride, too, was a little more no than yes, in her intellectual lurnivhmcnt. It used to Ik> a common practice in the coun- try. in sending marriages to tho press, to tuck on a bit of pootry in the shape of somo sweet hymcnial sentimentality. In complianco with this custom, tho groomsman added a lino or two Iroiu ouc of tho poets, where tho bard speaks of tho murringo state, "when heart meets h^art reciprocally soft." The wicked boys in tho printing offico, however, corrected the poet, makiug tho stanza read thus:

    abundant harvest* haa passed. For these and especially the improved conditiona of our national affairs, our renewed and profound- cat gratitudo to (Jod ia due. We remain in peaco and friendship with foreign power*.— l'ho effort* of dialoyal citiaens ol the United » States to involvo ua in foreign wars to aid an inexcusable insurrection hate been unavail- inf. Her Uritanic Majesty's government, as was justly expected, have exercised their au- thority to prevent the departure of new boa- tile expaditiona from British porta.

    The supplemental treaty between the Unit- ed States and Cireat Britain, for the aupprea- •ion of the African slave trade, made on tho 17th day of February laat, has been duly rat- itivd and carried into execution. It ia be- lieved that ao far aa Amencan port* and American ciiuen* are concerned, the inhu- man aud odious traffic haa been brought to an end.

    I ahall submit for the consideration of tho Senate a convention for the adjustment of poMessory rights claimed by Washington territory, arising out of the treaty of the 15th of June, 184t> between the United Statea and' Great Britain, and which has been the source of some disquiet among the citizene of that now rapidly improving part of the couutry.

    A nuvel and important question, involving tho extent of tho maritime jurisdiction of Spain in the waters which surround the Is- land of Cuba has been debated, without reaching an agreement, and it ia proposed in an amioable spirit to refer it to the arbitra- tion of a friendly power. A convention tor thai purpoae will be aubIU|>(IU( Ot I laiiviv II mm u; i> nK. j,.w-

    ceading promptly vindicated the neutrality which he proclaimed at the beginning of the contest. Questions of great intricacy and im- portance have arisen out of the blockade and other belligerent operation* between the Gov- ernment and *overal of the maritime power*, but they have been diacua«ed and a* far a* wraa posaible, accommodated in a apirit of frankne»a, juatico and mutual good will. It ia eapecully gratifying that our priae court*, by tho impartiality of their adjudication*, bare commanded the respect and confidence of maritime powers.

    I have thought it a proper subject for the approval of the Senate, to concur with the interested commercial I'ower* in an arrange* inent for the liquidation of the due* upon the principle* which have been heretofore adopt* ed in regard to the imporia upon navigation in the watera of Denmark.

    The long pending controversy between thia government and tbat of Chili, touching tho eeiaure, at Sitanain, I'eru, by Chilian ofticcrs, of a large amount of treasure belonging to citizens of the United Statea, has been bro't to a cloeo by the award of His Majeaty. the King of the Helgiaus, to who»e arbitration tha question was referred by the parties.— The *ubicvt was thoroughly mid paticutly ex- amined by that juatly re*pectcd magistrate, and although tho sum awarded the claimants may not hare been aa largo as they cxpecled, there ia no reason to distrust tho wisdom of Ilia Majesty's decision. That decision wauataining. and there la rea- son to hope that it may become entirely so, with the lucrcast of trade which will ensue1'

    wherever peaqe is restored. Our ministers abroad have been faithful in defending Amer- ican rights, and in protecting commercial in- terests. Our eonaula hnve necessarily had to encounter increased Inborn and responsibili- tie* growing out of the war. The»o they havo for the moat part met and discharged with seal and efficiency. This acknowledg- ment justly includc* those consuls who, re* siding in Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Japau, Chin» and the Oriental countriea, are charged with coapltx functions and extraordinary power*.

    The condition of the several organized ter- ritories is generally satisfactory, although Indian disturbance* in New Mexico have not been entirely suppressed. The mineral rrf- sources of Coloiado, Nevada, Idaho, New. Mexico and Arizona are proving far richer than haa been heretofo e understood. I lay before you a communication on this subject, from the Governor of New Mexico.

    I again submit to your consideration the expediency of establishing a system for the encouragement of emigration. Although this source of national wealth and strength i« again growing with greater freedom than for several year* before the insurrection occur- red, there ia still a great deficiency of lubor- era in every th'ld of industry, especially in agriculture, and iu our mines, a* well of iron as of the precious metal*. While tho de- mand for labor is (bus increased hero tens of thousands of persons destitute of remunera- tive occupation are thronging our foreign consulate?, oil'ring to emigrate to the United State*, if essential but very cheap assistauco can be afforded them.

    It is easy to sec that under the aharp disci- pline of civil wsr, the nation is beginning a new life. Thia uoblo effort demands all the aid, and ought to recoive tho attention and support of the government. Injuries un- foreseen by the government, and unintended in somo cases, may have been inilicted on the

    aubjecta or citisena of foreign countries, both at aea and ou land, by persous in the service of the United States. As this government expects redress from the powers when simi- lar injuries are inflicted by persona in their service upon citisena of the United States, we must be prepared to do justice to foreign- cr>. II lliv

    adequate to this purpose, a special court may be authorised, with power to hear and decide such claims of the character referred to aa m»y have sri-on Uiider treaties, and the public law conventions for adjusting tho claims by joint commission, have been pro- posed to sotne government*, but no definite anawer to tho proposition has jet been re- ceived from any.

    In tho course of the session I shall proba- bly have occasion to request you to provide indemnification to claimants where decrcea of restitution have been rendered and damages avturded by Admiralty Courta. In other ca- ses where this government may bo acknowl- edged to be liable in principle, and where the amount nf that liability has been ascertained by an informal arbitration, tho proper offi- cers have deemed themsclvos required by the law of the United States upon the subject to demand a tax upon the incomes of toreign consuls of the country. While such a demand mny not in strictness be in derogation of pub- lic law, or p«ihaps of any existing treaty be- tween the United States and a foreign coun- try, the expediency of so far modifyiug tho act ns to exempt from tux the income of such consuls as are not citixens of the United Suits, derived front the emoluments nf their oiGcc. or from property not situated in tho United States, is submitted to your serious consideration. 1 make this suggestion upon the ground that it courtesy which ought to be reciprocated, exempts our consuls in all their courtesitn from taxatinu to tho extent thus indicated. Tho United States, I think, ought not to be exceptionally illiberal to interna- tional trado and commercc.

Somo amendments may bo required to perfect ex- isting laws, but no change in their principles or general scope is believed to bo needed.— Since these measures hare been in operation, all demands on tho Treasury including tho pay of the nrmy and nary, have been prompt* iy met and lully satisfied. No considerable b >dv of troops, it is believed, were ever moro a np!y pr vide 1 and m ire liberally and pund- it dly paid, and it tnav be ndde.i, that by no people wcro the burdens incident to n great war ever more checrfully borne.

Ol the dis- bursements there were for the civil servico, $23,253,922, 09; for pensions and Indians, $1,- 210,520 59 ; for interest on public debt, $21,- 729,815 51: for the Wur Department, $599,- 293,000.83 ; for tho Navy Department, $03,- 211,105.27 ; for the pavuituit of funded and temporary debt, $I8I,OS0.6,'»5.07, making tho aggregate of ."*895,790,030.05, leaving a Bal- ance of $5,329,014.21.

    •» o protected, is simply absurd. There must be a test by which to «0| urate the opposing elements, so as to build only from the sound, aud that test is a Milliciently liberal one which accepts as sound whoever will make a sworu recanta- tion of his former unsoundness.

    Hilt >1 it i>e proper 10 require « »v=i «m mission to tli» political body nu oath of allegi- ance to the Constitution of the United Stales, igd to Mm Union under it, why not alio the law* and proclamations In regard to slavery T These laws and proclamations were enacted and put tortli tor the purpose of aiding in the nup. prauion ot the rebellion. «To jitc them their full effect there had to be a pledgt for their maintenance. In my judgment they nided nud will further aid the ciuse for which they were intended. To now abandon them would be not only to relinquish a leave of power, but would also be a cruel and astounding breach of faith. I my add at this point, that while I remain in my present position I shall not attempt to re- tract or modify the F.nianoipation proclamation, nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation, or by any of the acts of Congress. For these and other reasons it is thought best that support of these measure* shall be included in the oath, and it is believed that the executive may law- fully claim it in return for pardon and restora- tion of forfeited rights, which he has clear con- stitutional power to withhold altogether, ur grant upon the terms ho shall deem wisest for the public interests.

    It should be observed, also, that part of the oath is subject to the modifying and abrogat- ing power ot Legislative and Supreme Judicial decision. The proposed acquiescence of the national executive, in any reasonable, tempora- ry state arrangement for the freed people, la made with the view of possibly modifying the cuutuJou aud destitution which uuut, at beat,

    attend all classes by a total revolution of labor throughout the whole States. It is hoped that the already deeply afflicted people in thoso States inay bo somewhat more ready to «ivo up of their affliction, if to this extent this vital matter bo left to themselves, while no power of the national executive to prevent an ubuso Is abridged by the Proposition.

    The suggestions in the proclamation as to maintaining the political framework of the States on what is csllcd reconstruction, is uiadc in the hope that it may be good without danger or harm ; it will save labor nnd avoid great confusion. Ilut why any proclamation now upon this subject T This question is beset with the conflicting views that tho step might be de- layed too long or be taken too soon. In some States tho elements for resumption seem ready for actiou, but rcuiaiu inactive, apparently for want of a rallying point—a point of action.— | Why shall A adopt tho plan of B, rather than 1) that of A, and if A and B should agree, how can they know but that the General Govern- ment here will reject their pian. By tho proc- lamation a plau is presented which may be ac- cepted by them—a rallying p dm, and which they are assured in advance will not be reject- ed here. This may brimr them to act sooner than they otherwise would.

    Tho objections to a premature presentation i of a plan by the National Executive consist* In : the danger of committals on points which conld I bo more safely left to further developments.— Cure has been taken to so shapo tho document as lo avoid embarrassment from this course, saving that on certain terms certain classes will be pardoned, with right restored. It is not said that other classes or other terms will never be included, saving that reconstruction will be ac- cepted if presented in a specified way. It is J not said it will never be accepted in any other way. Tho movements by Stato action fur eman- cipation in several of the States not included in the emancipation proclamation are matters of

    (m>found gratulation, nnd whilo I do not repeat

    n detail what I have heretofore so earnestly urced upon this subject, my general views re- main unchanged, and I trust that Congress will omit no fair opportunity of nidlng theso im- portant steps to the great consummation.

    In the midst of other cases however impor- tant, we must not lose sig'it of the fact that the war power is still our maiu reliance. To that power alone can we look yet for a time to clve confidence to tho penplo of tho contested rcsiotld licit Hie IllSUrUCIIl poivrr noi ut.. .. .... overrun them Until tlint confidence ■hall be rxlalilixliol, little can bo done anywhere for what is called reconstruction. Hence onr chief, est euro must Htill lit? directed to tin1 army ami navy, who have thus far borne tlicir hanler

    part so nobly and well; and it may bo esteemed fortunate that in uiving tlio greatest efficiency to-these indispensable arms, we do also recoe- ni/e the gall ant men from commander to senti. nel who com pose them, and to whom more than to others the world must stand indebted for the home of freedom disenthralled, regenerated, enlarged and perpetuated.

    Proclamation of Amnosty. The following Proclamation ia appended to

    the Message: proclamation.

    Whereat in and by thn Constitution of the United Stales, it id provide*! that the President shall have power to grant reprieves and par- dons for offences against the United States ex cept in cases of impeachment, aud whereas a rebellion now exists whereby the loyal State Governments of several States have for a long timo been subverted, and many persons liavp committed and aro now guilty «f treason a- gainst these, and whereas with reference to said rebellion and treason. laws have becu en- acted by Congress declaring torfeituren and confiscation of property and liberation of slaves; all upon conditions and terms therein stated, nnd also declaring that the President was thereby authorized, at any time thereafter, by proclamation, to extend to persons who may have participated in tho existing rebellion lu any Slate or part thereof, pardon and am- nesty with such exceptions, and at such time, and on such conditions as he may deem expedi- ent for the public welfare.

    Whereas, itie congressional iiiTmnmuu iv homo persons heretofore endued in said rebellion, to resitmo their allegiance the United Slate.*, and to ro- inaugurate loyal State Governments within and for their respective State*—

    Therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the I7nitee convened against domestic violence; and T do further proclaim, deelaro and make known, that any provisions which may lie Adopted by such State government in relation to the freed people of such State which shall recognize and declare their permanent freedom, provide for their ed- ucation, and which may yet he consistent us a temporary arrangement with their present con- dition as a laboring, landless and harmless class, will not be objected to by tho National Executive.

    And it is suggested M not improper that in constructing a loyal State Government in a State, the name ef the State, the boundry, the sub divisions, the constitution and tho general code of laws as before the lebellion be main- tained, subject only to tho modifications made necessary by the conditions herein beforo sta- ted. and such others, if any, not contravening said condition!, and which may be deemed ex- pedient by those framing the new State Gov- ernment.

    To avoid misunderstanding, it may b« proper to say that the proclamation so far as it nw UU- to State Governments, hao no rUcrcuco

    to States wherein loyal State Governmenti Lave all the whlla been maintained. At (or tho samo reason It may be proper further to say that whether members went to Congress from any State, shall be admitted to seats, con- stitutiooally rem exclusively with the respect, tire houses; and still further th%t this proclaim*, tion is intended to preserve the people of th« States wherein the national authority has been sus|>ended, and loyal State Governments ha«< been subverted,a mode, In and by which the na tlonal authority and loyal State Government! may he established within such States, or ir any of thorn, and while the mode presented it the best the Executive can susgest with hii present impressions, it must not be understood that no otiier possible mode would be accept ed. Given under my hand at the City of Washing-

    To xr.wsrAPER PonusilBRs.—We notice that Mather k Co., of New York, nay in a card published in the Michias Republican, 'It in our custom to pay cash in advance where a pub- lishor makes it u general rulo.' Our experience with .Mather k Co., under that rule, has l>een unhappy. They drew a check in our favor on a New York hank, which wan cashed with our endorsement at a hank in thin city. Shortly afterward* it wm returned with something over a dollar oliarcrori as expense of protest. That's the way .Mather & Co., pay cash ! We have sent the document to Now York, that these iwin-llrrs may be proceeded against for fraud. lie! fa it Journal.

    Our experience with the protended Arm of 'Mather Si Co.* has likewise been somewhat

    unhappy. We have refrained from publishing the cheats about six months, since we were convinced that they intended to swindle us out of our just dues, in order to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves. A Her waiting nearly six months without deigning any reply to our letters, wc recently received more udvertisrments from this 'firm' with a

    note sayiug they had sent their check a month

    previous, and if we had not received it. they would, tome lime in the /nture, draw another !

    This seems to be a different dodge than that re- lated by the Belfast .Journal. No notice will l>c taken of adverti«ing orders from 'Mather .* Co.' for this journal, unless Mich orders are accompanied with the cash.

    men, public speakers, and persons of literary habits and sedentary life, who require free dU gestion, a relish for f>od, and clear mental fac- ulties.

    Delicate females and weak persons are cer- tain to find in these Bitters what they have so long looked for.

    They purify, strengthen and invigorate. They creato a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to change of water aud
