In our clippings from our exchange we hare come upon several interestin anecdotes of celebrated personages, wWe we republish in this form. The first i of John Howard Paine, the author o Home, Sweet " Home"—John Howan Paine, the author of tlie sweetest song embracing the purest sentimenis, eve penned bj man. How many swee homes are cheered by this song, and hov many turn to home and its fond remem brances as they hear it when absent, have heard it in the far west, in tin sunny south, and never without feeling of deep sympathy for its author, for h had no home! I knew him well, and when he was first appointed Consul a Tunis, he was a constant visitor at my bouse. He was poor and complained ol neglect. I well remember of an evening walk in New York, when we heard voices singing ' Home, Sweet Home.' We stopped under a window, and at the con elusion he gave a hearty sigh and re- marked,—' How little they kuow of the author, who has no sweet home.' " The next concerns Chas. Lamb ' Lamb once convulsed a company with an anecdote of Coleridge, which, without doubt he hatched in Iris hoax-loving Drain. ' I was,' he said, ' going from my louse at Enfield to the East India House one morning, when I met Coleiidge on ris way to pay me a visit. He was brim- ul of some new idea, and, in spite of my assuring him that time was precious, he drew me within the gate of an unocou )ied garden by the roadside, and there sheltered from observation by a hedge of vergreens, he took me by the button of my coat, and closing his eyes, com nenced an eloquent discourse, waving ris right hand gcnlly as the musical words flowed iuau unbroken stream from ris lips. I listened entranced ; but the trikiDg clock recalled mo o a sense of luty. I saw it was of no use to attempt 0 break away ; so, tukiug advantage of is absorption in hie eubject, and, with ny penknife, quietly severing my buttoa rom my coat, I decamped Five hours fterwards, in passing the same garden n my way home, I heard Coleridge's oice'; and on looking in, there he was with closed eyes, the button iu his fing- ers, and the right hand gracefully wa- ving, just as wben I left him, He had never missed me." A third we found in one of our State xchanges in an obituary notice of the ate Deacon Eben Bartholomew, who ied recently in the township of Crock- ry, in Ottawa county. The notice ays : " He was a man of great decision f character, and always maintained en- ire control over himself. Ono or two nstances will illustrate this. Many ears ago ho was at work with his son at bench, and took a pinch of snuff, lis eon said, 'Father, it seems to me will injure yourself taking so much nuff.' He at once took the box from is pocket, without a word, laid t upon beam, and never touched it again, 'he writer of this once dined at his son's ouse, and had a seat next to him at the able. He was then an old man of ighty. Observing that he took no tea, remarked : ' It is very unusual for ersons of your age to decline a cup of ea.' Said he, ' I shall never drink a cup of tea again while it remains so igh." (Naming the price.) l But do 001 not feel the need of it ?' ' Sir,' suid e, with emphasis, ' I AMA MAI—and ill have no habits that 1 can not control! t will !' JJown deep in my heart I aid, ' That is MANHOOD !' " In the chapter entitled " The Mys- teries of the Ballet," iu a recently pub lished work on theairical and operatic matters, we have an anecdote of a young girl whose father was her instructor, a:id who used to lock her and himself in the room where she received her lessons, so that he might not be overcome by the importunity of his wife, imploring him to spare their daughter. After a two hour's lesson she would fall exhausted on the carpet, and lie there till she was un- dressed, sponged and resuscitated, being all the time in a state of insensibility. Her father had determined, cost what it might, that his daughter should be the first in her profession. Such she be- came ; for was she not Taglioni ? A fifth anecdote we find in an En- glish paper. Its substance is as follows : The late Dean Buckland is said to have been so intimately acquainted with the properties of all the geological formations of England, that being one night belated, and not knowing where he wag, ho alight- ed from his horse, took up a clod of earth and tasted it. He immediately exclaim- ed, " Uxbridge !" and proceeded on his journey. A last one concerns the celebrated Lord ]Jrougham. There is an anecdote circulated that ho was met leaving the House by a brother Peer, who hsd two very beautiful girls on his arm. "Sorry to eee you leave," waa the remark, " as these young ladies came expressly to hear you speak." Lord Brougham, as apreux chevalier of the old school, o.'eclar- ed they should rot 1 e dfcapp infed, re- turned to the House, and, asking some question on foreign politics, was smiled oft by Lord Melbourne, who was unpre- pared ; whereupon was delivered one of his Lordship's most memorable philippics, that shook the very foundation of the Ministry. ANN ARBOU MICH. The Major's Hat. Many persons have some . antiquated nrlicle'of clothing or furniture endeared to them by association, and, which, though of no real value, they jealously cherish. My aged fr'end, Miijor Wood, waa partial to a " white hat,' which he had worn for several years. Tho Major was somewhat passionate and hasty in his proceedings, and suffered the usual fate of persons who are quick to anger, in being often provoked by jokers. As he lived in the country and was fond of ''good things," ho kept quite a kirge stock of poultry. An owl in bis neighborhood, also ap- preciated the fine condition of his chick- ens, and frequently feasted on the plumpest of the flock. The old gent vowed vengeance on said owl, and procuring a musket, charged it with an unusual quantity of powder, followed by a large handful of slugs, and then setting it behind tho door, patiently awaited the coming of the enemy. Not long after this belligerent attitude was assumed, the major, while smoking his last pipe, before going to bed, was reused by a boisterous tumult among the fowls, atid before he could leave his chair, one of his boys, who had been out for a short time, ran in, exclaiming with great earnestness : " Here he is, dad—here's the owl on the wellpole—let me shoot him, do." " Go long, you young blockhead, I'll fix the varmint myself, that I will," said the Major disdainfully, as he took his formidable gun in hand and brought it to bear on the white object, which was plainly enough to be ceen. A stunning roar was heard, and a brightflashmo mentarily dispelled the darkness, but the apparent owl sat firm as a knot on the side of a tree. - " Did you ever see the like cf that ?" said the nmjor, self-inquiringly. The musket was so reloaded, and again discharged, but the owl was im- movable. A suspicion H that something was flashed upon the major, so he sat down his gun, and going to the well drew down the pole by the bucket rpe; lo! his favorite hat rent, as he •spi eased it, " all to giblets," by the louble handful of slugs that had torn :brough it. The hopeful youth who had contrived the trap, and thus far looked on with reat composure, now made a hasty re- treat and passed the remainder ol the night in the hay-mow. low the Veteran Makes Himself Com- fortable. An army letter has the following des- cription of the manner in whioh a veteran soldier makes himself comfortable iu samp : " It is a true remark, that a man nev- r knows how much he can do without uctil he tries it ; but it is more to my resent purpose to say that ho never cnows with how little he can make him- elf comfortable until he makes the ex- >eriment. Nobody possesses this inval- lable knowledge so much as a veteran, ut a recruit into a forest of pine trees with his shelter tent, and if he has no- ody but recruits around him, ten to oue hat you will find him under his sliel- er teut three weeks from that time. Not so with the veteran. If he be amped in the pine forest, give him an xe, a boot-leg, a mud-puddle, a board r two, and a handful of nails, and he uilds him a house, and a house, too, omfortable aud commodious, and not vanting in architectural beatuy. First e fells trees, then cuts and notches his ogs and lays them to the required eight. His roof he puts on, giving it a reat slope, and thatching it with the reen of the pine tops. " lie has been careful to leave win- ow spaces, and, taking pieces of his shelter tent over these, he has provided light, but keeps out the nipping air of winter. Then with his boards he makes his door, aud, the boot-legs supplying hinges, it soon swings into its place. Then he fUJs the spaces between the log.s with Boft earth from his mud-p'iddle, and his home is done, except the chimney, and the forest and mud puddle soon pro- vides that, fur tho chimney is nothing but a pile of sticks plentifully plastered without aud within with mud. Then with his old axe ho manufactures out of pine logs a full assortment of furniture, beds ead, chairs, table, wardrobe, and generally adds a mantel, then, with a bright fire upon his hearth, he is pre- pared to laugh at winter, aud generally does. ARMY UNIFOIIJIS.—A recent order of the War Department gives official au tborization to the practice, which has become almost universal among army officers; with reference to the wearing of badges indicative ol rank. It per mits officers to dispense with shoulder- straps, and tho prescribed insignia of rank on their horse equipments. The marks of rank to be worn on the shoul- der-strap, will henceforth be worn on the shoulder. They will also be permitted to wear overcoats, pantaloons, etc., simi- lar to tbose worn by private soldiers ; nor are ornaments on the hats, over- coats, forage-caps, sashes or epaulets longer required.— Washington Chroni- eh. FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 23.1864. From our Foreign Correspondence. THE ASCENT OF THE AEGGISCH- H0RN- Hotel de Glacier de Rhone, ) Sept. 27th, 1864 / The Aeggisch horn is accessible from Viesch, a village in the valley of tho Rhone. Two hours distance from its summit, an enterprising host has estab- lished an hotel, aud, notwithstanding the difficulties of transporting supplies up a steep mountain side, one has there every accommodation of a city house. The Aeggiseh horn stands in a position to com- mand a view both far and near, and has become the resort of those of the travel- ing public wholike a little romance—a little real mountain work—and are not satisfied always to follow tho well beaten paths over the mountains. One meets in Switzerland three kinds of voyagers : first, those who are content with riding merely over somo of tho easy passes of the Alps, (generally Americans); second- ly, those who love to turn aside and climb such a mountain as the Aeggish- horn, (among whom are a host of English ladies) ; and thirdly, the bold, hardy ad- venturers, like somo of the English Al- pine-Club, who think it fun to master Mont Blanc, or stand upon some snow- capped summit heretofore unknown, or venture where the Swiss guide trembles to follow. As the most of these hazard- ous ascents are made only for la gloire, (the views from other more accessible points being grander and more extensive), and as we were not then aspirants for Alpine Club houors, we put ourselves in tho second category of voyagers, and de- termined to asceiid the Aeggischl.orn. When we left the valley the sun was making its way now aud then between heavy and fast flying clouds. The mo- ment after a storm is always the finest for mountain views, and hence we sot out when the weather was thus unsettled- The little foot-path conducted upward through thick pine forests, turning in zig z-igs ever iind anon. Every! hing went well enough at first, but when we had ascended for an hour and a half, and had reached several thousand feet above the valley, then a colder atmosphere met us, we began to feel the clouds which w< had seen merely from below, wo became enveloped in one of those winding sheets, and found a storm of hail aud snow our welcomers. We left, behind the forest and emerged upon tho open mountain side, where no tree is hardy enough' to live. Then the storm was more difficult to face ; we looked earnestly forward to catch a glimpse of the hotel our light- house—and we felt how little security we had against some sudden outbreak of nature. To a man accustomed to the plain, and having the habitude of going iu when it rains, it is the least of romance to meet a wet, windy snow-storm upon a barren mountain side, when each icy flake comes down with double force, and when the only consoling word is, "brave it out boys !" However, we pressed forward, muttering solemnly and lugu. briously, ever and anon, "Excelsior," and half thinking that Longfellow had never climbed a mountain when he wrote th;t word—when at length our eyes were gladdened with the sight of the hotel, which wau a stimulant, indeed, to our wearied energies. We soon found ourselves as it were in another world. The cold out-doors had given place toa warm in-doors ; an En glish library was at our service, and for ! company were several voyagers, waiting like ourselves for "a good time coming," to make the ascent. The rest of the day we were as caged birds. Without was cold, snowy winter. A thick fog pre- vailed, and nothing could be seen but a boundless expanse of mist and hail. Ono witty fellow had opened tha voyager's book, and hud painted well our condition thus : " The world seems to-day a vast cotton-bale, with us poor kuight-errants in its centre I" How long was this to last! For the next week or the next month? "Till to-night," said the land- lord; "the weather will clear tomor- row, or my name is not WISLLIO, and I know nothing of the mountains." Of course we all believed Mr. WELLIG, and none ventured to stake a five hundred franc note with him upon the question. My party retired early that night, de- termined to make the ascent at good time in the morning if the elements were favorable. Toe following morning was beautiful, j Not a cloud appeared. The sun was re- j fleeted upon the new-fallen snow, and the mountains ibout were brilliantly at- tired in their hew winter suits. Wo j were up aud off before the other voya-1 gers, doterminirjg to be the explorers ' j that morning. The little foot path lead- ing upward was well tiigh obscured by tho snow, and here and there we were obliged to guess at our route. Ah ! that ascent was difficult. "Now use your hands, boys; now upon your knees." "Look out for your head," erica one, while tho very moment auother bumps his cranium against an unseen, projecting rock, which calls forth au anathema against that "granite nuisance" from the bumped individual. No bones broken however ; simply an "oh !" Ml anathema, and a laugh, and "onward" is the word But not fast—it is necesxary to rest every few momenta to eateh breath, and prevent utter exhaustion. At length, however, we stood upon the top, and we raised a merry cheer as our souls were stirred within us at the view. We were in the centre of a vast amphi- theatre of mountains, grander than a hundred coliseums. Everywhere were suow-eapped summits. Towards the south-west were the giant forms of Mont Blanc and Monte Rosa with their attend- ants. Then a range of white uniformed mountains swept to the eastward to tho St. Gotthard. Towards the north east the Galen-stock aud tho O'uer-aarhorn stood masters of the position, while the glorious Bernese Alps, near, and grand, oompleted the amphitheatre. Just be- neath, us the Aletsch glacier appeared, fed by the icy peaks of the Jungfrau, the Moncb, and the Aletsch-horn. making its bed between the peaks of mountains, winding here and winding there—a great solid river of icy pinnacles—not fearing even the warmth of the valley below, bu* venturing afar even amid cultivation, and feeding the Khone with its debris. Long did we gaze upon this, the largest ice river perhaps iu the world, meriting tho title which a rival unjustly carries of Mer de glace. Thus, as has often been said, these eternal anows of the mountains feed the rivers, and these rivers enrich ths plains of a continent. How nature economizes her forces ! Upon the 'summit of the Aeggisch- horn ia a wooden cross, covered with names of the adventurers who have mas- tered tho mountain. I climbed up and put my own there—9,000 feet above tho sea. Isn't it something to "make your mark ?" Isn't it something to elevate one's name so high above those of ordi- nary humanity ? Ho, ye orators that have filled the world with yonr fame, yo celehret that have written your names upon tho great Four-Corners, mine is above yours 1 It's tho highest on the cross that tops the Aeafgisch-horn. Ah ! if it were as easy to write ones name in history as upon an Alpine cross, how many worthies would the world know ! We rested an hour upon the summit. How could wo become satiated with the feast of Nature ! Upon our way down we met now and then the other voyagers ascending, many of whom were buxom English lasses, gay and blooming as the rose, eager to master mountain difficul- ties, and boast of mountain triumphs. After a rest and a dejeuner at the hotel, wo were descending towards the valley once more. Tho valley of the Rhone isa picture. Tho same river hastens through it, skipping aud dancing, that takes a bath in Lake Leman, hur- ries through France, and rolls at length majestically into the sea. The husband- man makes the earth respond to h's toil, and tho valley is dotted with towns and villages. But the finest scene ia that of Mont Blanc, which seems the great eas- tern gateway of the vale. I turned ever and tnon to catch a view of its bright form, which I have well nigh learned to love. For have I not like Childe Har- old seen " the hoar Glaciers of black Mont Blanc both far and near 1" I have seen this mountain from Chamouni, and stood in its very presence ; I have seen it by moon light from the Deut d'Oches, glistening like a mouutaiu of silver; I have seen it from tho Valley of Aosta, as I entered Italy ; I have seen it from Miian, looking like the colonel of a regiment of Alps; I have seen it from the Aoggisoh-horn, brilliant in the morning suo ; and now, as I ascended tho valley of the Rhone, the same white, pure fnnn met mine eyes' Is there not some resemblance between this monarch of the mountains, ever the same, eternal, unc'rin^eable creation of Nature, ar.d the monarch of men, that noble, firm, justice-doing, self-conqu riDg man, whom no storm of temptation moves, whose bright character no crime black- ens ? Tho Rhone glacier ia at tho head of the valley. It fills thowholo plain be- tween the mountains. Its extremity s;ems like tho great, exaggerated claw of some of those monsters that walked the earth in geologioal history. As it lies almost amid vegetation there is a continual war botween the Seasons, as to who ehall possess it. The Summsr brings forward his general Sun, who cost. This would serve, at least to make makes aomo terrible onslaughts upon the death more convenient— leaving the grief firm front of the glacier, and even causes'of the survivors, (teara, sadness, eto ,) him to bleed a river. But Winter brings [ entirely optional. forward her veteran Frost, who carries] But—although there may bo thus a out the Fabian policy, and acis only on ; " Dying made-easy"—It appears to grow tho defensive.

To do it at all " like * gentle- man"—with priviite table and a bottle of wine, choice of dishes and civility of waiter—costs, as every frequenter cf an up-town restaurant knows, five dollars and upward. This price, to which the philosophic mind rationally objects, (at ever this war of the elements. W 11 neither be victorious ? Will tho glacier yield to the general Sun at onetime, ai:d to the Veteran Frost at another, forever ? Alas I I fear it is ioo true. The Sea- sons like men are bitter enemies, F. W. B. From the N. Y. Commercial Adv. The Inundation at Florence- Some days ago we gave a telegraphic- memorandum from Florence to the London papers, which mentioned that there had been an inundation in that citv, and that much injury has been done. We havo a letter from that city which says : " I finished my last letter on the 6th of November, (luring which day the rain continued with great violence ; night brought us no cessation, but rather an increase, and the river rose visibly with great rapidity. From our window we could see it in the dim light, sometimes illuminated by tho torches of the watchers, reaching above tho batiks, and washing the foundations of the buildings on th« opposite side of the river, and beneath, coming within a few inches of tho top of tho wall of tho Lung, Arno ; but I was hardly prepar- ed for such a complete overthrow ;IH I found nsxt morning had taken place. " Notwithstanding tho precautions taken in bricking up doorways, &o., tho river, where it had ritfen above thu parappt, which in some places is lower than where we are, had forced its wav through tlie streets and visited destruction streets full of houses. In the stree's behind us, by the overflow- ing of a little stream which joins the Arno, some two feet of water and mud had mude a morning Tall into all tli houses, and as the water ran oil with the subsequent lowering of tho i iver, the mud remained to a cousideiablt depth. The Arno roue HOIRII twenty feet, flooding all tho housed above the Ponta GS razzia, and rising three i<r f<".ir feet in the adjoining streets. Tha des- truction of household luruittire WUL-D!!- fequently immense), on account of the great quantities of thick mud depo-ked t^o rapid was the rise of water thai boats were used in the Via Myjjgio and Via Guicciaidiui, and the lateral streets for the transportation of passen- gers. Ono gentleman told m.: that in returning home, about four o'clock, be found the first floor of uis house on the latter street, which runs parallel wiih the river, wuist deep. Fortunately the rain ceased, or the city of Florence would have had a good chance of being washed away. The scene was very curious t > a non- sufferer the next morning; mud two feet solid deep, soldiers on duty every over charge for commodity procured,) grows daily higher and higher; and it will soon be out of the reach of what may bo called a "private geutlemau ' (if poor) to eveu pretend to dine; whila " Delmonico's" will be but a remem- brance faintly and fondly cherished. Tha cheaper feed—the 'i.orainble-aud dodge," with the elerk.s, sub editors and shop-boys generally, at thu eating-houses, down town—is of course done urh a complete sacrifice of everything like respectability or privacy—though, if one could do it in a mask, (and why might we not thmt in eoy-nify, every man to feed privately, if he likes?) We might get quito as good a pinner for our ''fifty cents'' down town, as for our "five dollars" up town, Who will show us how, either to dio reasonable or to dine in a musk ?—Ifom* Journal.

The suspension bridge near us was in so much danger, as the water reached nearly to the flooring, that per- sons were forbidden to cross on it, and I now see the workmen are putting up R scaflolding around one of tho piers, which seems to havo been weakened.

Lord WhurnclifFe informs Mr. Adams tint tlie Liverpool Bazaar pro- duced about £! 7,000, and asks permitsion for an accredited agent to visit the mili- tary prisons within the Northern States aud distribute aid to tlitir minutes. denies that any political aid is aimed at, or any imputation that confederate pri»- onurs are deprived of such attentions a* t(je ordinary rules enjoiu. He nays : " The issue of the great contest will not be del* ruiined by individual suffering, ba it greater or less; aud you, whose famiiy name is interwoven with American his- tory, cannot view with indifference tha Buffering of American citizens, wlmtever their state or opinions." Mr. Adami replied that it has never been the dc»ir« of the government to treat with unnec- essary or vindictive severity auy of tha misguided individual parties in' this da- plurable rebellion, who have fallen into us hands in the regular ceuise, and that he should greatly rejoice if the effects of such sympathy could be extouded to min- istering to their mental ailment as well as their bodily suffering, thus coutribu- ting to put an end to a struggle which otherwise is too likely to be procrasti- uated by their English sympathizers. Mr. Seward replies as follows to the •jpplicatioa received through Mr. Adams : DEPARTMENT or STATE, } WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. \ SIR :—I have received your dispatch of the 18lh of November, NJ. 807, to- gether svith the papers therein mention- ed, viz, a copy uf a letter which was id- dressed toyou onthe 12lh of November last, byLord Wharncliffe, aud a copy of rose just i height to which the water twenty years ago, this time even this was uuder water. Sis railways in this neighborhood have stopped working in consequence of the groat damage to their tracks—almost outtiilx o2' Flor- euct from the outer world." will per- Dining and Dying- These—the two greatest luxuries of life—are soon to be " expenses" wlii&h none but the rich man can afford I For- tunately, in New York, at present, it is " a mercy" to most men's families that they do not die—for it would cost $500. to bury them 1 The following extract from a letter to one of our country news papers particularizes the sad statistic: •'Speaking of price.?, whit a hard place New York is to die in, to say noth ing of the expenses of living there. An aged friend sickened anddied recently, and if lie had not left ample weal h, his doctor's bill and funeral expenses would have exhausted the purse of his surviving family. Less than two mouths' illness cost $500 the doctors' charge being ^4 per visit. The funeral was from an up- town fashionable church, where the price for music was $10, and opening tho building $15; carriages, some dozen, over $100; scaifs for clergy and pull- bearers more than another 8100 ; coffin, §75 ; which, and other expenses, in tho aggregate reached about $500 !

You now inform Lord Wharuclifftj that mission for an ageut of tho committee described byhim to visit the insurgents detained iu tin military prisons ui the Uuited States, aud to distribute among them seventeen thousand pounds of Brit- ish gold, is disallowed. Hero it ii ex- pected th.it your correspondence with Lord Wharucliffe will end. Thai correspondence will uecofsarily b»- come public. On realiug it the American people will ba well awara that while tho United States liara ample means for the support of prisoner! as well as for every other exigency of tLe war iu which they aro engaged, the in- surgents who haye, blindly rushed into that condition, aro suffering no privn- i tions that appeal for relief to charity ' either at homo or abroad. The Ameri- can people will be likely to reflect that tho sum thus insidiously tendered in the namo of humanity, constitutes no largo portion of the profits which its contribu- tors may be justly supposed to havo da- rived from tho insurgents, by exchang- iug with them arms and muni-ions of war for tho coveted productions of im- moral aud enervating slave labor, nor will any portion of the American people disposed to regard the sum thus osten- tatiously offered for the relief of captur- ed i.isurgents as a tffo generous equivalent tor the devastation aud dissolution which a civil war promoted and protracted by British subjects, has spread throughout i.he stites, which before were eminently protperous and h»ppy. Filially, in view of tats last officious iuterveutiou in onr domestic aff.iirs, the American peopla om hardly fail to recall tho warning of the Father of our Country directed against two great and intimately con- nected public dangers, namely, seetional faction aud foreign intrigue. I do uot think the insurgents havo become da- based, although they have sadly wan- with flowers, undertaker's, j dorod from the wnys of loyalty and pa- triotism. I think that, iu common with all our countrymen, they will rejoice in being saved by their considerate and b>yal government from tho grave insult which L ird Wlnrnclitle and his associ- and other poor men who cannot afford to ' atee, in their zeal for the overthrow of tho United States, havo prepared for the victims of ihis unnatural and hopeless re- I am, sir, Your qjudient servant, WILLIAM II.

Joy weeps!And overflows its banks with tears :My child of joy.Weep out the gladness rf my pent-heait,And let tl y glistening eyesRun over in their ecstacifs;Life needeth joy ; but from on highDescends what cannot die !

Interesting Anecdotes.In our clippings from our exchange

we hare come upon several interestinanecdotes of celebrated personages, wWewe republish in this form. The first iof John Howard Paine, the author oHome, Sweet " Home"—John HowanPaine, the author of tlie sweetest songembracing the purest sentimenis, evepenned bj man. How many sweehomes are cheered by this song, and hovmany turn to home and its fond remembrances as they hear it when absent,have heard it in the far west, in tinsunny south, and never without feelingof deep sympathy for its author, for hhad no home! I knew him well, andwhen he was first appointed Consul aTunis, he was a constant visitor at mybouse. He was poor and complained olneglect. I well remember of an eveningwalk in New York, when we heard voicessinging ' Home, Sweet Home.' Westopped under a window, and at the conelusion he gave a hearty sigh and re-marked,—' How little they kuow of theauthor, who has no sweet home.' "

The next concerns Chas. Lamb' Lamb once convulsed a company with

an anecdote of Coleridge, which, withoutdoubt he hatched in Iris hoax-lovingDrain. ' I was,' he said, ' going from mylouse at Enfield to the East India Houseone morning, when I met Coleiidge onris way to pay me a visit. He was brim-ul of some new idea, and, in spite of my

assuring him that time was precious, hedrew me within the gate of an unocou)ied garden by the roadside, and there

sheltered from observation by a hedge ofvergreens, he took me by the button of

my coat, and closing his eyes, comnenced an eloquent discourse, wavingris right hand gcnlly as the musicalwords flowed iu au unbroken stream fromris lips. I listened entranced ; but thetrikiDg clock recalled mo o a sense ofluty. I saw it was of no use to attempt0 break away ; so, tukiug advantage ofis absorption in hie eubject, and, with

ny penknife, quietly severing my buttoarom my coat, I decamped Five hoursfterwards, in passing the same gardenn my way home, I heard Coleridge'soice'; and on looking in, there he was

with closed eyes, the button iu his fing-ers, and the right hand gracefully wa-ving, just as wben I left him, He hadnever missed me."

A third we found in one of our Statexchanges in an obituary notice of theate Deacon Eben Bartholomew, whoied recently in the township of Crock-ry, in Ottawa county. The noticeays : " He was a man of great decisionf character, and always maintained en-ire control over himself. Ono or twonstances will illustrate this. Manyears ago ho was at work with his son at

bench, and took a pinch of snuff,lis eon said, 'Father, it seems to me

will injure yourself taking so muchnuff.' He at once took the box fromis pocket, without a word, laid t upon

beam, and never touched it again,'he writer of this once dined at his son'souse, and had a seat next to him at theable. He was then an old man ofighty. Observing that he took no tea,remarked : ' It is very unusual for

ersons of your age to decline a cup ofea.' Said he, ' I shall never drink a

cup of tea again while it remains soigh." (Naming the price.) l But do001 not feel the need of it ?' ' Sir,' suide, with emphasis, ' I AM A MAI—andill have no habits that 1 can not control!

t will !' JJown deep in my heart Iaid, ' That is MANHOOD !' "

In the chapter entitled " The Mys-teries of the Ballet," iu a recently published work on theairical and operaticmatters, we have an anecdote of a younggirl whose father was her instructor, a:idwho used to lock her and himself in theroom where she received her lessons, sothat he might not be overcome by theimportunity of his wife, imploring himto spare their daughter. After a twohour's lesson she would fall exhausted onthe carpet, and lie there till she was un-dressed, sponged and resuscitated, beingall the time in a state of insensibility.Her father had determined, cost what itmight, that his daughter should be thefirst in her profession. Such she be-came ; for was she not Taglioni ?

A fifth anecdote we find in an En-glish paper. Its substance is as follows :The late Dean Buckland is said to havebeen so intimately acquainted with theproperties of all the geological formationsof England, that being one night belated,and not knowing where he wag, ho alight-ed from his horse, took up a clod of earthand tasted it. He immediately exclaim-ed, " Uxbridge !" and proceeded on hisjourney.

A last one concerns the celebratedLord ]Jrougham. There is an anecdotecirculated that ho was met leaving theHouse by a brother Peer, who hsd twovery beautiful girls on his arm. "Sorryto eee you leave," waa the remark, " as

these young ladies came expressly tohear you speak." Lord Brougham, asapreux chevalier of the old school, o.'eclar-ed they should rot 1 e dfcapp infed, re-turned to the House, and, asking somequestion on foreign politics, was smiledoft by Lord Melbourne, who was unpre-pared ; whereupon was delivered one ofhis Lordship's most memorable philippics,that shook the very foundation of theMinistry.

ANN ARBOU MICH.

The Major's Hat.Many persons have some . antiquated

nrlicle'of clothing or furniture endearedto them by association, and, which,though of no real value, they jealouslycherish.

My aged fr'end, Miijor Wood, waapartial to a " white hat,' which he hadworn for several years. Tho Major wassomewhat passionate and hasty in hisproceedings, and suffered the usual fateof persons who are quick to anger, inbeing often provoked by jokers.

As he lived in the country and wasfond of ''good things," ho kept quite akirge stock of poultry.

An owl in bis neighborhood, also ap-preciated the fine condition of his chick-ens, and frequently feasted on theplumpest of the flock.

The old gent vowed vengeance onsaid owl, and procuring a musket,charged it with an unusual quantity ofpowder, followed by a large handful ofslugs, and then setting it behind thodoor, patiently awaited the coming ofthe enemy.

Not long after this belligerent attitudewas assumed, the major, while smokinghis last pipe, before going to bed, wasreused by a boisterous tumult amongthe fowls, atid before he could leave hischair, one of his boys, who had beenout for a short time, ran in, exclaimingwith great earnestness :

" Here he is, dad—here's the owl onthe wellpole—let me shoot him, do."

" Go long, you young blockhead, I'llfix the varmint myself, that I will," saidthe Major disdainfully, as he took hisformidable gun in hand and brought itto bear on the white object, which wasplainly enough to be ceen. A stunningroar was heard, and a bright flash momentarily dispelled the darkness, butthe apparent owl sat firm as a knot onthe side of a tree.- " Did you ever see the like cf that ?"

said the nmjor, self-inquiringly.The musket was so reloaded, and

again discharged, but the owl was im-movable.

A suspicionH

that something wasflashed upon the major, so he sat

down his gun, and going to the welldrew down the pole by the bucketrpe ; lo! his favorite hat rent, as he•spi eased it, " all to giblets," by thelouble handful of slugs that had torn:brough it.

The hopeful youth who had contrivedthe trap, and thus far looked on with

reat composure, now made a hasty re-treat and passed the remainder ol thenight in the hay-mow.

low the Veteran Makes Himself Com-fortable.

An army letter has the following des-cription of the manner in whioh a veteransoldier makes himself comfortable iusamp :

" It is a true remark, that a man nev-r knows how much he can do without

uctil he tries it ; but it is more to myresent purpose to say that ho never

cnows with how little he can make him-elf comfortable until he makes the ex->eriment. Nobody possesses this inval-lable knowledge so much as a veteran,

ut a recruit into a forest of pine treeswith his shelter tent, and if he has no-ody but recruits around him, ten to ouehat you will find him under his sliel-er teut three weeks from that time.

Not so with the veteran. If he beamped in the pine forest, give him anxe, a boot-leg, a mud-puddle, a boardr two, and a handful of nails, and heuilds him a house, and a house, too,omfortable aud commodious, and notvanting in architectural beatuy. Firste fells trees, then cuts and notches hisogs and lays them to the requiredeight. His roof he puts on, giving it areat slope, and thatching it with thereen of the pine tops.

" l ie has been careful to leave win-ow spaces, and, taking pieces of his

shelter tent over these, he has providedlight, but keeps out the nipping air ofwinter. Then with his boards he makeshis door, aud, the boot-legs supplyinghinges, it soon swings into its place.Then he fUJs the spaces between the log.swith Boft earth from his mud-p'iddle, andhis home is done, except the chimney,and the forest and mud puddle soon pro-vides that, fur tho chimney is nothingbut a pile of sticks plentifully plasteredwithout aud within with mud. Thenwith his old axe ho manufactures out ofpine logs a full assortment of furniture,beds ead, chairs, table, wardrobe, andgenerally adds a mantel, then, with abright fire upon his hearth, he is pre-pared to laugh at winter, aud generallydoes.

ARMY UNIFOIIJIS.—A recent order ofthe War Department gives official autborization to the practice, which hasbecome almost universal among armyofficers; with reference to the wearingof badges indicative ol rank. It permits officers to dispense with shoulder-straps, and tho prescribed insignia ofrank on their horse equipments. Themarks of rank to be worn on the shoul-der-strap, will henceforth be worn on theshoulder. They will also be permittedto wear overcoats, pantaloons, etc., simi-lar to tbose worn by private soldiers ;nor are ornaments on the hats, over-coats, forage-caps, sashes or epauletslonger required.— Washington Chroni-eh.

FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 23.1864.

From our Foreign Correspondence.

THE ASCENT OF THE AEGGISCH-H0RN-

Hotel de Glacier de Rhone, )Sept. 27th, 1864 /

The Aeggisch horn is accessible fromViesch, a village in the valley of thoRhone. Two hours distance from itssummit, an enterprising host has estab-lished an hotel, aud, notwithstanding thedifficulties of transporting supplies up asteep mountain side, one has there everyaccommodation of a city house. TheAeggiseh horn stands in a position to com-mand a view both far and near, and hasbecome the resort of those of the travel-ing public who like a little romance—alittle real mountain work—and are notsatisfied always to follow tho well beatenpaths over the mountains. One meetsin Switzerland three kinds of voyagers :first, those who are content with ridingmerely over somo of tho easy passes ofthe Alps, (generally Americans); second-ly, those who love to turn aside andclimb such a mountain as the Aeggish-horn, (among whom are a host of Englishladies) ; and thirdly, the bold, hardy ad-venturers, like somo of the English Al-pine-Club, who think it fun to masterMont Blanc, or stand upon some snow-capped summit heretofore unknown, orventure where the Swiss guide tremblesto follow. As the most of these hazard-ous ascents are made only for la gloire,(the views from other more accessiblepoints being grander and more extensive),and as we were not then aspirants forAlpine Club houors, we put ourselves intho second category of voyagers, and de-termined to asceiid the Aeggischl.orn.

When we left the valley the sun wasmaking its way now aud then betweenheavy and fast flying clouds. The mo-ment after a storm is always the finestfor mountain views, and hence we sot outwhen the weather was thus unsettled-The little foot-path conducted upwardthrough thick pine forests, turning inzig z-igs ever iind anon. Every! hingwent well enough at first, but when wehad ascended for an hour and a half, andhad reached several thousand feet abovethe valley, then a colder atmosphere metus, we began to feel the clouds which w<had seen merely from below, wo becameenveloped in one of those winding sheets,and found a storm of hail aud snow ourwelcomers. We left, behind the forestand emerged upon tho open mountainside, where no tree is hardy enough' tolive. Then the storm was more difficultto face ; we looked earnestly forward tocatch a glimpse of the hotel — our light-house—and we felt how little securitywe had against some sudden outbreak ofnature. To a man accustomed to theplain, and having the habitude of goingiu when it rains, it is the least of romanceto meet a wet, windy snow-storm upon abarren mountain side, when each icyflake comes down with double force, andwhen the only consoling word is, "braveit out boys !" However, we pressedforward, muttering solemnly and lugu.briously, ever and anon, "Excelsior," andhalf thinking that Longfellow had neverclimbed a mountain when he wrote th; tword—when at length our eyes weregladdened with the sight of the hotel,which wau a stimulant, indeed, to ourwearied energies.

We soon found ourselves as it were inanother world. The cold out-doors hadgiven place to a warm in-doors ; an English library was at our service, and for !company were several voyagers, waitinglike ourselves for "a good time coming,"to make the ascent. The rest of theday we were as caged birds. Without wascold, snowy winter. A thick fog pre-vailed, and nothing could be seen but aboundless expanse of mist and hail. Onowitty fellow had opened tha voyager'sbook, and hud painted well our conditionthus : " The world seems to-day a vastcotton-bale, with us poor kuight-errantsin its centre I" How long was this tolast! For the next week or the nextmonth? "Till to-night," said the land-lord; "the weather will clear tomor-row, or my name is not WISLLIO, and I

know nothing of the mountains." Ofcourse we all believed Mr. WELLIG, and

none ventured to stake a five hundredfranc note with him upon the question.My party retired early that night, de-termined to make the ascent at goodtime in the morning if the elements werefavorable.

Toe following morning was beautiful, jNot a cloud appeared. The sun was re- jfleeted upon the new-fallen snow, andthe mountains ibout were brilliantly at-tired in their hew winter suits. Wo jwere up aud off before the other voya-1gers, doterminirjg to be the explorers '

j that morning. The little foot path lead-ing upward was well tiigh obscured bytho snow, and here and there we wereobliged to guess at our route. Ah ! thatascent was difficult. "Now use yourhands, boys; now upon your knees.""Look out for your head," erica one,while tho very moment auother bumpshis cranium against an unseen, projectingrock, which calls forth au anathemaagainst that "granite nuisance" from thebumped individual. No bones brokenhowever ; simply an "oh !" Ml anathema,and a laugh, and "onward" is the wordBut not fast—it is necesxary to restevery few momenta to eateh breath, andprevent utter exhaustion.

At length, however, we stood upon thetop, and we raised a merry cheer as oursouls were stirred within us at the view.We were in the centre of a vast amphi-theatre of mountains, grander than ahundred coliseums. Everywhere weresuow-eapped summits. Towards thesouth-west were the giant forms of MontBlanc and Monte Rosa with their attend-ants. Then a range of white uniformedmountains swept to the eastward to thoSt. Gotthard. Towards the north eastthe Galen-stock aud tho O'uer-aarhornstood masters of the position, while theglorious Bernese Alps, near, and grand,oompleted the amphitheatre. Just be-neath, us the Aletsch glacier appeared,fed by the icy peaks of the Jungfrau,the Moncb, and the Aletsch-horn. makingits bed between the peaks of mountains,winding here and winding there—a greatsolid river of icy pinnacles—not fearingeven the warmth of the valley below,bu* venturing afar even amid cultivation,and feeding the Khone with its debris.Long did we gaze upon this, the largestice river perhaps iu the world, meritingtho title which a rival unjustly carries ofMer de glace.

Thus, as has often been said, theseeternal anows of the mountains feed therivers, and these rivers enrich ths plainsof a continent. How nature economizesher forces !

Upon the 'summit of the Aeggisch-horn ia a wooden cross, covered withnames of the adventurers who have mas-tered tho mountain. I climbed up andput my own there—9,000 feet above thosea. Isn't it something to "make yourmark ?" Isn't it something to elevateone's name so high above those of ordi-nary humanity ? Ho, ye orators thathave filled the world with yonr fame, yocelehret that have written your namesupon tho great Four-Corners, mine isabove yours 1 It's tho highest on thecross that tops the Aeafgisch-horn. Ah !if it were as easy to write ones name inhistory as upon an Alpine cross, howmany worthies would the world know !

We rested an hour upon the summit.How could wo become satiated with thefeast of Nature ! Upon our way downwe met now and then the other voyagersascending, many of whom were buxomEnglish lasses, gay and blooming as therose, eager to master mountain difficul-ties, and boast of mountain triumphs.

After a rest and a dejeuner at thehotel, wo were descending towards thevalley once more. Tho valley of theRhone is a picture. Tho same riverhastens through it, skipping aud dancing,that takes a bath in Lake Leman, hur-ries through France, and rolls at lengthmajestically into the sea. The husband-man makes the earth respond to h's toil,and tho valley is dotted with towns andvillages. But the finest scene ia that ofMont Blanc, which seems the great eas-tern gateway of the vale. I turned everand tnon to catch a view of its brightform, which I have well nigh learned tolove. For have I not like Childe Har-old seen

The Inundation at Florence-Some days ago we gave a telegraphic-

memorandum from Florence to theLondon papers, which mentioned thatthere had been an inundation in thatcitv, and that much injury has beendone. We havo a letter from thatcity which says : " I finished my lastletter on the 6th of November, (luringwhich day the rain continued with greatviolence ; night brought us no cessation,but rather an increase, and the riverrose visibly with great rapidity. Fromour window we could see it in the dimlight, sometimes illuminated by thotorches of the watchers, reaching abovetho batiks, and washing the foundationsof the buildings on th« opposite side ofthe river, and beneath, coming within afew inches of tho top of tho wall of thoLung, Arno ; but I was hardly prepar-ed for such a complete overthrow ;IH Ifound nsxt morning had taken place.

" Notwithstanding tho precautionstaken in bricking up doorways, &o.,tho river, where it had ritfen above thuparappt, which in some places is lowerthan where we are, had forced its wavthrough tlie streets and visiteddestruction streets full of houses. Inthe stree's behind us, by the overflow-ing of a little stream which joins theArno, some two feet of water and mudhad mude a morning Tall into all tlihouses, and as the water ran oil withthe subsequent lowering of tho i iver,the mud remained to a cousideiabltdepth. The Arno roue HOIRII twentyfeet, flooding all tho housed above thePonta GS razzia, and rising three i<r f<".irfeet in the adjoining streets.

Ono gentleman told m.:that in returning home, about fouro'clock, be found the first floor of uishouse on the latter street, which runsparallel wiih the river, wuist deep.Fortunately the rain ceased, or thecity of Florence would have had agood chance of being washed away.The scene was very curious t > a non-sufferer the next morning; mud twofeet solid deep, soldiers on duty every

Every shop was a sight, andsome persons have been almost ruinedby the destruction of their householdgoods.

" Near the Uffizzi Palace everv houseand shop was inundated to u fearfulextent. The suspension bridge near uswas in so much danger, as the waterreached nearly to the flooring, that per-sons were forbidden to cross on it, andI now see the workmen are puttingup R scaflolding around one of tho piers,which seems to havo been weakened.If such an event had taken piace athome, the papers would have occupiedcolumns with ,tho account, but herethere are no newspapers published, ex-cept, one or two little sheets about thosize of ordinary note paper.

" On the front of the Coisijaj Palace,is a streak of whito paint indicating thoh i h h i h h

„., tn in bis possession relative to a propositionof liritiah subjects to give aid to the re-bellion. Lord WhurnclifFe informs Mr.Adams tint tlie Liverpool Bazaar pro-duced about £ ! 7,000, and asks permitsionfor an accredited agent to visit the mili-tary prisons within the Northern Statesaud distribute aid to tlitir minutes. H«denies that any political aid is aimed at,or any imputation that confederate pri»-onurs are deprived of such attentions a*t(je ordinary rules enjoiu. He nays :" The issue of the great contest will notbe del* ruiined by individual suffering, bait greater or less; aud you, whose famiiyname is interwoven with American his-tory, cannot view with indifference thaBuffering of American citizens, wlmtevertheir state or opinions." Mr. Adamireplied that it has never been the dc»ir«of the government to treat with unnec-essary or vindictive severity auy of thamisguided individual parties in' this da-plurable rebellion, who have fallen intous hands in the regular ceuise, and thathe should greatly rejoice if the effects ofsuch sympathy could be extouded to min-istering to their mental ailment as wellas their bodily suffering, thus coutribu-ting to put an end to a struggle whichotherwise is too likely to be procrasti-uated by their English sympathizers.

Mr. Seward replies as follows to the•jpplicatioa received through Mr.Adams :

life—are soon to be " expenses" wlii&hnone but the rich man can afford I For-tunately, in New York, at present, it is" a mercy" to most men's families thatthey do not die—for it would cost $500.to bury them 1 The following extractfrom a letter to one of our country newspapers particularizes the sad statistic:

•'Speaking of price.?, whit a hardplace New York is to die in, to say nothing of the expenses of living there. Anaged friend sickened and died recently,and if lie had not left ample weal h, hisdoctor's bill and funeral expenses wouldhave exhausted the purse of his survivingfamily. Less than two mouths' illnesscost $500 — the doctors' charge being 4per visit. The funeral was from an up-town fashionable church, where the pricefor music was $10, and opening thobuilding $15 ; carriages, some dozen,over $100; scaifs for clergy and pull-bearers more than another 8100 ; coffin,§75 ; which,and other expenses, in tho aggregatereached about $500 ! Verily it is ex-pensive to live in New York, but moreexpensive to die Inert) !"

We have long wondered that literary

your answer to that letter. Younow inform Lord Wharuclifftj thatmission for an ageut of tho committeedescribed by him to visit the insurgentsdetained iu tin military prisons ui theUuited States, aud to distribute amongthem seventeen thousand pounds of Brit-ish gold, is disallowed.

i tions that appeal for relief to charity' either at homo or abroad. The Ameri-can people will be likely to reflect thattho sum thus insidiously tendered in thenamo of humanity, constitutes no largoportion of the profits which its contribu-tors may be justly supposed to havo da-rived from tho insurgents, by exchang-iug with them arms and muni-ions ofwar for tho coveted productions of im-moral aud enervating slave labor, nor willany portion of the American people b«disposed to regard the sum thus osten-tatiously offered for the relief of captur-ed i.isurgents as a tffo generous equivalenttor the devastation aud dissolution whicha civil war promoted and protracted byBritish subjects, has spread throughouti.he stites, which before were eminentlyprotperous and h»ppy. Filially, in viewof tats last officious iuterveutiou in onrdomestic aff.iirs, the American peoplaom hardly fail to recall tho warning ofthe Father of our Country directedagainst two great and intimately con-nected public dangers, namely, seetionalfaction aud foreign intrigue. I do uotthink the insurgents havo become da-based, although they have sadly wan-

Our own troops wt.ru disposed of int-liu following order : Wifcon's cavalryon tho extreme right, Bc&oSeld's 3dcorpc, consisting of Couch's and Cox'sdivisions at first held in reserve, butbefore tlie main battle opened, had takenrn-iiion on thn left at' tbe cavalry, thus,forming the right.

Our plan of battle was the continu-ation ot that on the 15 h. In pressingthe advautage gained en the enemy'sleft, at abont hatf-past 8 o'clock, ourbatteries opened from a hundred piecessimultaneously along tbe entire line.The rebel artillery replied feebly.

8chofield, marching down GrannyWhite pike, carefuliy concealing hisRtreugth," placed his corpa upon theenemy's left Hank. Steadman at thesame time worked his way forward.The enemy in the meantime strengthen-ed his advance line. This determinedWood to carry this line without delay.

In splendid order Kiraball's 1st Di-Tision rn'>ved fir ward to charge, firingvolley after volley as they rushed to-wards tho rebel works. A witheringfir • o' ina-sketry and canister made themwaver m re tlmn once, but they press-ed on t i I.aid pis > 1 shot, when the onemy's fire became so tfeadly, that ourmen in 6rd«'r to return it more efffectually, came to a half, longer perhapsthan any troops evor remained in suchposition. They stood and tired fast andfuriously at the enemy, but they couldnot remain there and live. A few gavewav and tied in disorder The wholelino utaggefied, and, had tbe rebels donenptkiiig more than keep up tbeir deadlyfive, * e should have be sn driven back, butthey made a movement t ) shift theiiartillery, "hi 'h our men received as anindio itinri that they were about t(Abandon 'heir line and retire.

The\had time to get away two guns, butthe rest fell into our hands. As soonas this preliminary success was achiev-ed, General Tln-rrvts, who was seerriming tho day in the very front line obattle, ordered a charge along tht«ntirc line.

The County Canvassers were in ses-

sion yesterday, but had not declared the

result at the time of writing this article.

—Since the above was in typo the

County Canvassers have rejected the re-

turn ol the soldiers' vote, and declared

on the home vote. The District Board

have done the same, and Mr. SHIER, in

oidiiiajiy daty to record. The eollicion

completely demolished the two engines.

The engineer and fireman of the freight

jumped before the engines struck, and

those of the passenger train were thrown

to the roadside and miraculously escaped

serious injury. The£trairi8 wore running

nearly at full speed, and the baggage car

went crashing into the forward passenger

car, which was crowded with passengers,

mutilating a large number.

H. Mfttfetf, Esq., Mail Agent on the

moment of collision between the p$aft-

forms of the baggage and passenger cars,

and could not be extricated by tho most

herculean effort, uu'il lie was burned to

death iu the flames which, taking from

tbe overturned stove, rapidly spread.

The rteital ef his sufferings ia too horrid

to spread before our readers.

Mr. AUI,I,EN had a

of the High School, and Superintendent ofSchools, in the discharge o.' his duties, visitedlhe f>Ui ward school. While there he tookoccasion to reprimand two or three of thelarger boys ia the highest grade,for disobedi-ence of the rules of the seliool, disregard ofthe orders of tlie teacher, aud persistent misconduct—anfl not for the violation of thetardy rule as is stated by a contemporary.These boys had been reprimanded on severaloccasions before, and at this tims Mr. LAW-TOW, in the e.cercibe of the disciplinary powerconferred upon him by. the Board, thoughtbest to administer a little chastisement, thatmight be cemerubored longer than merewords.

This was done, by sitting in his clmir,taking the boys by their coat collar , draw-ing them across his knee, nnd while in thatposition whipping tljeBj wiih. a small willowswitch. While in the act of thusthe second boy, ALPUOXSO COVERT, we believethe largest pupil in school, rose in- his seat,pulled off his coat, and commenced cursingMr. LAWTON, orderiag him to stop, threaton-ing to whip him, and making other demon-strations.

• meantime school had been dismissed for re-

it is neither enjoined nor forbidden by theBoavd, and, we believe, is only resorted towhen other means haye failed to make theproper impression. Its propriety or impro-priety we will not discuss, but, wo may saythat parents disagree upon this point, soinoof them requesting teachers to whip I heirchildren if disobedient rather than suspendthe™, and others preferring a request thattheir children be suspended. It is thereforeleft to teachers- to be goMrned by circum-stances.

With this statement we leave the matter un-til the law has had its course, oi- at least forthe present.

Breaking from the corner in which he wasfirst taken by surprise by the three, Mr. LAW-TON left the building, but was pursued andagain assaulted upon the walk. By this timehowever, several citizens reached the spot,and the parlies wsre compelled to desist.

Various rumors arc afloat as to the severityof the chastisement, admiiiisrei-ed by MrLAWTON, which hare no foundation in truth ;and we trust the community will not sentenceMr L. to capital punishment or banishmentuntil they shall know (he facts, which will bedeveloped in the progress of the trial of acomplaint brought against him for assaultand battory upon one of the boys ; at the in-stigation, report says, of a distinguished citi-izen who has made it his boast for the lastyear, that he would drive the School Boardout uf office, and Mr. LAWTOK out of town.

But whither the chastisement administeredby Mr. LAWTON was mild or severe, there isno shadow of excuse for the interference ofyoung COVERT, who was not under discipline,had not even been reprimanded, and who vol-uuteered, it ia believed in consequence of apreconcerted plan, to get up a row. Nor isthere the slightest excuse for the conduct ofthe two men, and the severest penalty of thelaw should be inflicted upon all three. Andif others are inciting such outrages, theyshould be held legally respousible as conspir-atois ; or at least should be vi4ted with pub-lic scorn and indignation.

Teachers may not always be blamelesstfefly are but men and tfom'en, and may errbut the vexations suits which the) have beensubjected to during the last three or fouryears, incite to disobedience and lawlessnessamong pupils, increase the labors of theteachers, promote disorder in the severalschools ; and worse than that, are destroyingthe reputation of our city and our schoolsthroughout the State. It is time that all citi.lens who have the interest of our city and ourschools at heart join with Board and teachers in maintaining good discipline, and inwiping out the stain that is fast spreadingover our fair fame. If the Board make suchrules as shall be disapproved after a fair triaaud full understanding of their workings, ancwill not change them, change the Board. Weare quite confident that no members of theBoard are getting rich in purse, or winningfame enough to induce them to wish to holetho position an hour longer than they are de-sired to do so by tho better judgment of outcitizens. Brrt, while continued in office, a feuevil disposed persons should not be permitteeto undo the good they labor to do, and destroy the schools.

In this connection we miglit say that wehear some complaints that females fre employed as principals of the ward schools, amthat tho Superintendent is given any controover them. We believe that the Board haveinvestigated the matter fully, and that theyhave found the present system—which has beeradopted genera'ly in all the cities of the Stateexcept Detroit—to work as well and as satisfactorily as the old on« under which maleteachers were at the head of our ward scoolsIn nine casas out of ten a good female teach-er will govern one of these SCIIOOIB as well asa male, and in the other one ease there wilbe no difficulty if parents and outsiders willend their aid to maintain discipline, insteacof prompting scholars to rebel against theirteachers.

The-Detroit Tribune and Ad-vertiser— we buy a copy Occasionally—-boastsof having a "paid correspondent" in our city,and of giving ''more local news of Ann Arbor>than all of its papers put together." ThoTribune certainly steals liberally from theAnn Arbor papers, and all others with whichit tlri-ns an exehaiye.. but mangles terriblyin tlie stealing, hoping, perhajw, to avoid de-tection in that way. And, as to its 'paklcorrespondent," lie steals too, or draws ou avigorous imagination, making his "locals," erdistorting wonderfully when he has a groundwork to build upon. Just now he is engagedin magnifying rows between the students and"town rowdies," in which—he always pro-nounces the latter the aggressors. A while agoho made these "town rowdies" shave, and tarand feather an inoffensive student, when if lieknew anything about it, he knew the offensewas committed by students • and last Wed-nesday night, "about 12 o'clock," he perpe-trated a row "between a party of studentsand a crowd of drunken rowdies in front of3EHK'S saloon," in which of course the '• gal-i int" students performed wonders. Now, it

might have been well for this "paid corres-pondent" to have told what this "party oftudents" was doing at that hour of the night

nt—oh, "in front o f—BEHR'S saloon. Wedo not believe it worth the Tribune's while tcend its columns to foster jealousies betweenhe students and "town rowdies"—they oughto be friends—and would suggest that it ad-ise the students to observe early hours, and

keep away from the haunts of these awful'ellows.

—Seriously, we do not believe thi t all thedejjltry perpetrated in our city is chargeableto students or vice versa ; but we do believethat the course of the Tribune's correspondents calculated to engender and promote tlie

growth of ill-feeling between students and.citizens, for all are neither " drunken" or' town rowdies" who occasionally have cause

to complain of the ill-manners of a few stu-dents who do what they can to bring into dis-epute their large body of the well-behaved as-

sociates.

thxt we can not continue the ARGUS without

promptness on the part of our patrons, com-

bined with a more liberal patronage, except by

A Card.Mrs. E..K. DuBois wishes to open a class

for instruction in History, English Literature,

and Composition.

Those who wish to commence the study of

French and German can also be accommoda-

ted.

The design is to afford opportunity for con-

tinued mental discipline, to young ladies who

have completed the usual course of school in-

struction ; and who, amiiM the duties of

home life, and the attractions of society, may

lie in danger of falling into habits of careless

and desultory reading, and of losing their

earnestness in the pursuit of intellectual cul-

ture.

Should this plan meet with sufficient en

couragement, its provisions will be gradually

expanded to meet all the wants of the class of

persons for whose improvement it is intended.

Applications will be recei ved until the sec

ond week in January.

f^ZT The January number of theladi:s' Repository] lias reached our table, and

gives evidence in typography, contents, and

illustra ions that its standard is not to be

lowered a tithe to the times. The embellibh-

meuts of the number are a beautiful landscape

title page, a real gem ; "On the Housatonic,"

engraved by Hinshelwood, from a painting by

Hart, a credit to both artists ; and a portrait

of the late editor—now Bishop CLAEK. The

contents are of the Repository order, varied,

£ 3 7 The Rev. JOHN S O. ABBOTT

eulogised the Napoleons after his favorite

style, before the Students' Lecture Associa-

tion, on Monday evening last. We did not

hear him, but understand that his lecture was

decidedly anti-England, while he declared

that France had been the first friend of our

government since the breaking out of the

rebellion, and would continue our friend. Per-

haps, Mr. ABBOTT, perhaps.

—Miu SUSANNAH EVANS, a young lass late

from Wales, spoke before the Association on

Monday evening. Her subject was Temper-

ance, a subject which appeals directly to wi-

man, and, if any, will warrant her to appear

upon the platform. In this instance, how-

«Ter, despite the good intention we fear bi t

little was accomplished. It was a fair schi o'-

girl declamation, and that ' s all truth wil

permit Ui to eay. If Miss SUSANNAH wishei

to benefit young men, as her introduction

leads us to suppose is her object, she had bet

t«r return to the social circle, and give pri

vate instruction. Her lecture is too tame

•id commonplace to excite enthusiasm or

•wake the conscience.

THE W0KLD FOR 1865.PEPSPKCTUS.

The Presidential contest jut-t closed consigned thepolitical destinies of the people of the United States,during another term 01 years, to the control of 1'resf-dent Lincoln atth.e North, and Jefferson Davis at theSouth.

The Democratic party, always identified with theprosperity, growth, and glory of the republic, mayioint with hGnest pride to its record in txiis great con-

test.Against an administration wielding the most enor-

mous power of patronage and the most uulim.todcommand of treasure ever possessed by any govern-ment, and reinforced alike by the unfounded feaisofmany patriots and the*sympathies of all traitors, theDemocratic party fought the battle of 1804 firmly and'earlessly to the end.

Defeated in the electoral college, t h e ftmau majorityof popular votes by which it has been so defeated iudemnnstrably lees than th» number of persons openlyand officially dependent upon the administration asofficeholders or contractors in the various departmentsi the public nervice.But the result is against us. Tbe law continues to

be administered by men who not only violate its ex-press provisions but invade RIPO those personal ;in1civil rights so high and sacred that constitution can-not confer, but only guarantee them, ami which lawsare made to vindicate and guard. The PURSE is .•-tillborne by mo 1 who, in four years, have heaped uponus, and the unborn generations of our children, a bebtalmost as huge sa that of England, acquired throughcenturies, and whose policy of a 1 loated paper cur-rency doubles upon us tfce present burden cf this gi-gan-ic indebtedness. The SWOK2> is still wielded bythose who see treason in an olive branch, and whomake victories won by our gallant armies and fleets"ruiilesa, since they open no path to the triumphs ofpeace.

Democrats must await events.They can now only watch for the public safety, and

exert all the power of a, great minority to prevent Mr.Lincoln's administration from drifting, for the sake ofabolition, into a disunion peace.

"They also ser^e who only stand and wait.'1The principles of the Democratic party are just, and

will yet prevail, for they are the laws of the progressof the human race. They are the principled whichhave emerged from evt-r.v revolution of the AugloSaxon race, with Increased guarantees and strength.—By these It must stand steadfast, immovablevcompact,harmonious, organized. The coming four years are tobe years of calamity. But now, they who sowed -thewiml* are to be the reapers o | the whirlwinns. TbeDemocratic party is .shorn of power ; but it is divestedoi ;ill responsibility. When the hour of our distresscomes, the people, instead of cursing tin-Democraticparty, will turn to it for relief, and cling to it for de-liverance.

So far, then, from being relieved of duty for theimmediate futur. by our late defeat, a dutv movi ino-perative devolves upon the Democratic PRESS. Senti-nels upon the watch tower*-, now more than ever mustthey be sleepless and vigi ant.

O ten, during the past year. THK WORUI has beenmade to fet'l the hfaiy hand of arbitrary power.—Rendering all lawful support to the constituted au-thorities—to Csyj-n i f'a_'.siir'tf due—avoiding tbe ex-tremes of partisan hostility, and guiltless of any crime,gave unflinching advocacy of a free press, free ipeech ,free ballot, or an ardent devotion to the Union, andsupport of the war for trie Union's salce, it h asnever-,thele*F. hcen repeatedly excluded frommilitary depart-ments by partisan generals, and for several days itsissues were suspended by the order of President Lincoin himself, and its offices closed and occupied byarnierl soldiers at hffe command. The fiaVliry and thefearlessness in the past, which these Mo-.vs struck at usavouch, oui readers are justified ia expecting from usfor the future.

THE WORIJ. for 18(55 will be a better neicspaper thanit has ever been. Its columns, freed from the exactingdtnutii'lsof a political canvass, will afford m re roomfor the news of the day, of all kinds, from ail parts ofthe world.

We shall not be conten&d to give to our reader* theearliest news. Ws shall labor also io have it the moattrustworthy

Thefieest use of t'>e telegraph, which is the rightarm of the press, snd competent correspondents withall ur armies and fletts, not'the national and statecapital^, and at all tha conjmercitil centers of JJuropeand America, and whatever el.se sfeil) can devise or en-terprise accomplish, will contribute to make TUKWORIJ>the befit newspaper of tbe day.

The Sf-ui-'Yai'.Ki.Y WORLD will exactly suit those whowant the newsoltencr tnan weekly, yet do not feel ableto pay $10 for the Daily. It contains all the readingmattei, news and editorials of the Daily, exceptingonly its advertisements.

THK WKEKLV WORI,I> ($2) has now the largest circula,-t on of any weekly journal published , save one. ftiextraordinary success fince its union with ihe NewYork Argus has justified us in vx-ry liberal expendituresfor the year to coraei such as vriil make it without firival iu interest and value to the farmers of OUT coun-try. I f Agricultural Department will be as good andcomplete as any of the agricultural papers, and its re-ports of the attle, Produce and Mony Markets willexcel them all A page or more will be reserved to en-tertaining fireside reading, and the type will be largeand clear enough for old eyes.

All t t e editions of TIIK'WORLD are now printed onnew type. Several new folding machines, just set upin our vaults, will enabk' us to work ofT and mail alleditions with the utmost speed and regularity.

While the war continues, and the currency k of suchshort as it is, we can hope for little JOT no profit- Ourterms havt been increased, but not in proportion to the:iicreased cost of everything used in making a newspa-per. Indeed, to dayilieie is nothing equally v-.Uuibleso cheap as a newspaper.

new atmosphere, my poet, the tunelulToices of your song shall go, wakening•lithe woods to melody, summoning shy

from the ever-charmed hills,p ,waging out over the listening waters,giving and gathering sweetness wher-ever a human heart throbs; till earth,all a quiver with the harmony, shall liftfrom the dust her long-neglected lyre,nweep ouce mow to her place amougthe stars, and raise again her happyroice in the unforgotten music of the•pberes."

The Piano Mania,"There is no social disease so wide

•pread, so virulent, and so fatal in its at-tack, as tho piano mania. before agirl i* born, now-a-days, she is destinedto sit and extract dreadful screechings•ad wailings from some unhappy instru-ment for at leant ten years of ner natoral life. No question as to whether•he possesses an ear, and DO considera-tion for the wra of other people, is per-mitted to interfere with the decree,which is as trrwrocable as the laws ofthe Medes and Persians, that 'Kaly' or'Luciudy,' as the case may be, ' mustplay the piano.' The poor thing maybe a natural born housekeeper, with aguniuB for sweeping and dustiug, wash-ing and bilking, but with no more per-ception of chords and caduncea than ofthe imuio of the spheres. Still she willnot be permitted to follow her naturalbent,, because it is so horribly vulgar.She will be wept over, scolded andfretted at, and any lazy, tine lady, sisteror cousin, held up as an example of gen-tility.

" To be able to play the piano incompnny is the sine qua non of maDyfoolish, fond mothers' hopes, who lookback with regret' on their osvn limitedch;inoo» of education, and are apt,'-hertikuv, to sadly overrate the varuo ofwhat ur» culled accomplishments. Play-ing the piano is doubtless a very goodthing when it is well done, and by aperson who possesses musical taste;(jut otherwise it is only a torture foras«n»itiire ear to listen to it. Jingle, jin-gle, ji.ngl.el. tbump, thump, thump!Who has not shivered and winced, andtried- to appear amiable, through theinterminable hours of a small eveningparty, whila tso;ne youthful tormentor,harassed into the display by stupidfiaends, was vigorously pounding out awiiscellanenus issoitmeut of battles andmarches, songs aud quadrillee, waltzesand operas, without the slightest notionconcerning them,, except that certainmjcyu in the piano correspond to certainDotes in th« book ?

It is a bad time to swap hcrses when cross-ing a stream. Let us rattier drown the horseMake him carry his load through ! The Re-publican party has disarranged our finances.Let, it remedy them. Republicans are holdingU. S. Bonds. Let them hold them ! In fouryears from now no one else will'want to!Republicans want to free the negro. Letthem do it. They want to do the black cussa kindness by sending him to war. All right.We can stand it. Here we are even. Re-publicans do not intend to go to^the war.We do not intend to. Here we are ovenagain !

COOLNESS—Some years ago a cele-brated doctor, a great admirer of music,was visiting the South and was pettedin society. A fashionable lady friend ofhis had two pretty daughters who hadjust finished their education at a 'board-ing school' in this c:ty. Our friend, thedoctqr, was invited to dine, and askedfor his favorite tune, and he requestedtho fair performer to play the Duke olYork's March It was performed, butwith such fine flourishes and variations,that ho saw or heard but little or anyof the Duko of York's March in it. Hewas again asked for his preference.Thinking that be was misunderstood inthe first instance he again said, in a lit-tle louder voice :

" The Duke of York's March,madam!"

It waa again performed as at first,but he still could not make out his fa-vorite, the Duke of York's March.Upon being called upon the third timo,ho spoke very b>ud :

' Duke—of—York's—March !'' Why, doctor, replied the lady, 'the

Duke of York's March has been play-ed twice to you,'

' Well, well, said the doctor withgreat coolness, 'tho young ladies haveplayed it so well I would be delightedto bear it for a third time.'
