A knowled^'eoi'tlie structure and Amotions of the eye has heen prescribed as
a cure ibr Atheism. I um not certain
that tho proscription would prove generally ctiicucious among the fools who say in
their hearts "there is no God." But certainly the evidences of skill and wisdom
are so apparent in the mechanism ofthe
human eye, as to make manifest the
stupid depravity of those who fail to see
that a divine hand was employed in its
creation. Nor is the human eye more
curious or beautiful than the organs of
vision of many of the lower orders of
animals. The investigations ofthe anatomist, especially when aided in his studies by Lhe microscope, make us acquainted with a world of wonderful facts.
Crabs have their eyes "placed at the extremity of shelly foot-stalks, which aro
themselves ou moveable hinges, capable
of being projected at pleasure, moved in
different directions, and packed away,

|eg hollowed out expressly for them in

Early   Piii-nting   in
wandering   through th
Trinity Church a day or two since, my
eye was arrested by a gravestone on the I
north side ofthe church to tlio™ memory of
William Bradford, who, it is mentioned,
was "born in Leicestershire, old England,
in 1610,   and came  over to  America in
1082, before the city of Philadelphia was
laid out.    "He was printer- to this Government," the inscription continues, "for
upward  of fifty years,"   and died May
28, 1752,  aged  ninety-two  years.    This
monument was much injured during the
building  ofthe present church edifice,
and in  another generation  or two will
entirely disappear.    Yet the memorial
of Bradford's resting place   ought  not
thus to be obliterated.    Ho first established the printing press in the vast region  south of Boston.    He came over
with Penn,   on tlie   Welcome, in 1682,
and began his career in Philadelphia, in
or near to which city lie fixed his first
printing office, as early at least as 1686,
and a paper mill on the Wissuhickon,
near Germantown, very soon afterward
—the first paper mill ever erected in the
United States; and as appears by a printed prospectus yet preserved, he was the
first person who proposed in America to
print, the Holy Bible. This was a.d. 1688
in Pennsylvania. He mingled largely and
actively  in the   stirring  events   which
agitated  colonial   Life in that  litigious
province,   and maintained with success
his printing-press against the efforts of
the proprietary  Government to break
it   down.      He   came   to   this   city in
1692, at the invitation of Governor Fletcher, and was  printer to the Crown, as
his epitaph records, fbr the space of half
a century.    Jn this offiee   he amassed,
honestly, great wealth, which he left to
numerous descendants, who havo been
among the most distinguished families
of New  York, New Jersey,   and T

■ion ot cottonbuyers, and the rule is, if
possible, to go "cohoots" with some Colonel or Captain, so as to get protection
from a regiment or company, while cotton is being picked, and carried away.
Generally, some Quartermaster tnterfer-
and his silence is purchased. It is
reported that a well-known Quartermaster who has been in the vicinity of Memphis for some time has made §500,000
by collusion with speculators. He used
to live and do business in San Francisco, and his name is known to thousands. Thc way Quartermasters are
said to manage is, to confiscate cotton
in plantations, and then sell it to some
speculator on Government account for
a nominal price. The stories of General Curtis's cotton speculations in Arkansas arc still quite common, though it
is several months since hclolt theie. It
is reported that A. J. Butler, another old
Calitornian, has made cords of money
in New Orleans, in various speculations,
and -whenever the Mississippi, river is
open, be will dip more lively into cotton. There is a story current, that A.
J. Butler brought up New Orleans shin-
plasters at the time the General prohibited thoir circuhuionin 3-Jew Orleans, at
twenty-five cents ou the dollar, and then
induced tlie General to issue his order
requiring the banks to redeem them in
green-backs or specie. By tbis operation A. J. Butler made a profit estimated
at 8250,006. The army regulations prohibiting officers from speculating while
the army is in motion, arc violated every
day, sometimes openly, but oitener
through third parties, who move when
the army: moves. The whole business
is a nuisance, which ought to bc abated.

There is an unscun bnUle-field
In every linniiin breast,
Where two opposing forces meet,
But where they Beldom rest.
The Geld is veiled from mortal sight ;
'Tis only seen hy one,
Who knows alone wliere victory lies,
Wheu euch dtiy's light is done.
Ono army clusters strong and fierce,
Their chiel of demoo-form ;
His brow ie like the thunder cioud,
His voice the bursting storm.
Iiis captains, Pride, and Lust, and Hate,
Whose troops watch night nnd duy,
Swift lo detect the weakest point,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contention with tbia mighty force,
Is bot a little band ;
Yet these, wilh an unyielding front,
Those warriors firmly stand.
Tbeir leader ts a God-like form,
Of countenance serene ;
And glowing on his naked breast,
A simple Cross i.j. seen.
His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love,
Point to the troodroas sign,
And gazing at it, all receive,
Strength from a source divine.
They feel it speaks a glorious truth,
A truth as great as sure,
Tmn to bo victors they must learn
To love, confide, endure.
That faith sublime, in wildest strife,
Imparts a holy calm ;
la every deadly blow ;_ shield,
For every wound a balm.
And when they win that battle-field,
Past Loil is quite forgot ;
The plain where carnage once had reigne
Becomes a hallowed spot.

The General Commanding is pained to inform
the commissioned officers of tbe Confederate army
taken prisoners, that owing to the barbarous measures announced by President Davis in a recent
proclamation, denying parole to our officers, he
will be obliged to treat them in like manner. It
is a mutter of regret to him that this rigor appears
necessary, and he trusts such remonstrance a3 may
be made in the name ol justice, humanity and civilization may reach the Confederate authorities as
to induce them to pursue a different course, and
thereby enable him to aecord lo their officers the
privileges which he is always pleased to extend to
brave men, even though lighting for a cause which
he considers hostile to the nation -and disastrous
