A Cu;i'[0.v TO M.OTHBBS.—It is a very common
thing to see mothers and servant girls pushing
along over the sidewalks the little carriages iu
which they are giving infants an airing on pleasant days., The practice is a very dangerous oue,
and ts liable lo do grout and permanent injury to
the child. We observe also that carriages are now
so constructed that they may be pushed instead of
drawn. The position of a child riding backward
instead of forwards, ia an unnatural one, and directly all-cU the brain. Some grown person, even,
cannot ride backward in a railroad car without
experiencing a sense of f'aintnesB, and to expect a

A privateer, as the name ImportB, Is a private
armed ship, lifted out :it the owner's e-peii.e, but
commissioned by a belligerent government, to capture the ships and goods Ofthe enemy at sea, or
the ships of neutrals wheu conveying to the enemy
goods contraband of war. A privateer differs from
te In this, that the one bafl a commission and
the Other   lias none.     A privateer is entitled   to the
arae righte of wm- aa tbe public veesele of the belligerent. A pirate ship has no rights,find her crew
liable to be captured and put to death by all
nations as robbers find murderers on the high sens.
Tlie policy of neutrals recognising privateers us
legitimate belligerent ships,, is foum.led on the interests of humanity and tiie common desire to pre'
Vent piracy. If privateers were not recognised by
neutral nation., ibey would became pirat-'s, and in-
;ad ot making prisoners of tho crews of prize
■ssela, they would massacre them, appropriate the
cargoes and sink the ship.. But, being recognizing
are under the surveillance of the government
commissioning them as well as thc governments
utral nations, and they arc responsible, for
their acts to both. The government moreover,
hich issues letters of marque is liable to neutral
nations for the misdeeds of its privateers. To a
government with a small navy, or no navy, and
with slender resources, privateers are a great ad-
rantags, because they not only cost the government nothing) being owned nnd equipped by priv
ate individuals, but on thc contrary they are a
source of revenue, for they aro obliged to pay a
per coinage on the value o( their captures, iu consideration of their license.
The name of this license is "letters of marque,"
ul is derived from the French, being equivalent to
tho word march or mark in tho sense of boundary
or frontier. It had its origin in tho Middle Ages,
when princes issued to their subjects licenses to
cross the march or frontier of a neighboring power
in order to niako reprisals for an injury. It waa
extended to the high sea. in the fourteenth century.
Hut the practice was not general till thc end ofthe
sixteenth century. Thc first instance in which the
aid of privateers was deemed important in war was
in the struggle between Spain and her revolted
provinces of the Netherlands. The Prince of
Orange, tho leader of the revolt, issued letters
marque against Spain in 15. 0, and bis privateei
became terrible. Ever since that time the uso of
privateers has been legalized in Europe,
where parties agreo by treaty to abolish it as against
each other.
The French were the first, on a large scale, to
send out those scourges of tho sea. The Brit
imitated their example, nnd their illustrious naval
commander, Drake, waa a privateer. At the close
of the French war with England, by the peace of
Amiens, tho latter nation had 30.000 French sailors
in prison. In our Revolutionary war with England
tho American privateers played a very important
part. Tho exploits of Paul Jones, by land and sea,
making raids upon thc British coasts, and sometimes
capturing English ships of war, are more like romance than reality. The 1 Iters of marque issued
by tho Continental Congress were held te be valid
two years before the new government was recognized by any foreign power; nnd during the first year
the American privateers captured five hundred and
tbirly RriUali pcuuiAla _nrl th*!. r-oraa-w.. v-hierl ,.t
five millions of dollars. During the revolutionary
war this country had fifteen hundred privateers on
the ocean, having fifteen thousand guns. In the
war of 1S1--15 the number of British ships captured
by American privateers waa immense. It is clearly
therefore, to the interest of England to have privat-
abolished all over the world, and it is probable
that the proposition of our government will be ae
ceded to. Tho light to issue letters of marque and
reprisal is given to Congress by the Constitution,
but the exercise of tho right may be suspended, ca
pecially under  the extraordinary oMtarnstances  iu

Str-motu   Axn EhTHOSiaS- op tub   South.—I
cannot doubt that tho rebels have more men in the
field than the national government has, and I thiuk
that tho numerous disasters wo have mot with are
attributable to our underrating tho strength of our
enemy. While there is no manifestation of military
ard.r at tho North, the South is, as I have said, one
real camp. War Is on every tongue and the
subject of every thought. Day and night you hear
tothing but war shouta,. exultations over victories
and imprecations against the "damned Yankees."
No business except what is connected with war is
attended to or thought of. Tho sclf-sacrificea which
these people Impose upon ihemselvea are most extraordinary. They take the blankets and quilts
frotn their bods, tho horses from their stables, the
cattle from their sheds, tho provender from their
barns, tho sons from their hearths, and give all to
tho cause which they deem sacred.    Universal mad-
seems to have gained possession of young and
old; and tho women, who should be conservative,
are more rabid than their husbands, fathers or
brothers.
Lord Kaimes, iu a conversation with hia gardener, one day, said :
"George, tho time will corao when a man shall
be able to carry all tho manure for an acre of
ground in one of his waistcoat pockets."
"I believe it, sir," said the gardener, "but he
will thou bo able to carry all the crop in the
other."
An ill looking fellow accosted an old gentleman
one day, somewhat abruptly, and offering his hand,
said, witii an attempt at a bland smile :
" My dear sir, I can't call your name, but I am
quite sure I've seen you before, somewhere.-'

Tni. Tools GitE.vr Men Work With.—It is not
tools that make the workman, but the trained skill
and perseverance ofthe tnau himself. Indeed itis
proverbial that the bad workman never yet had a
good tool. Some one asked Opits by what wonderful process he mixed his colors. '■ I mix tbem
with my brains sir," was his reply. It is the same
with every workman who would excel. Ferguson
made marvelous things—such aa his wooden clockt
that actually measured tho hours-by means of a
connnmi penknife, a tool in everybody's hand, but
then everybody is not Ferguson. A pan of water
and two Lhermomel.o-rs were the t ools by which Dr.
BlacK discovered latent heat; and a prism, a lens.
and a sheet of pasteboard enabled Newton to unfold tbe composition of light and the origin of color
An eminent foreign eavan once called upon Dr.
Wolia.tou, aud requested to be shown over his laboratories, in which science had beeu enriched by no
many important discoveries, when the Doctor
took him into a little study, and, pointing to an
old tea-tray oo the table, containing a few watch-
glasses, test papers, a small balance, and a blowpipe, said: " There is all the laboratory I have!"
Stotthard learned the art of combining colors by
closely studying butterflies wings _ he would'often
say that uo one knew what he owed to these tiny
insects. A piece of burnt stick and a barn door
served Wilkie in lieu of pencil and canvas. Bewick
first practised drawing on the cottage walls of
his native village, which he covered with sketche8
in chalk ; and Benjamin West made his first brushes out ofthe cat's tail. Ferguson laid himself
down in the fields at night in a blanket, and made
a map of the heavenly bodies by means of a thread
with email beads on it, stretched between his eye
and the stars. Franklin first robbed thunder-cloud-
of its lightning by means of a kite made with two
cross-sticks and a silk handkerchief. Watt made
his first model of Ihe condensing steam engine
out of an old anatomist's syringe, used to injeet
the arteries previous to dissection. Giflbrd worked his first problem in mathematics, when a cobbler's apprentice, upon small scraps of leather,
which he beat smooth for the purpose ; while
Rittenhouse, tho astronomer, first calculated
eclipses on his plow handle.
RKMINTSOBSCB   OF GrENEEAL   M'CLELLAN   IN THE
Cbimbu— A   Carping Obltic-m.—October  9th.—
Having nothing more exciting ;o do  the other
day, I sat down to look over the reports of Gen.
McClellan, Major Mordecai, and Col. Delafield,
who were sent as a military commission to Eu
rope by Mr. Jefferson Davis, at the close of tbe
Crimean War. Perhans the American neonle do
not know that their commission were treated with
neglect, if not with something worse, by the French
authorities, and were riot even permitted to see
Marshal Pellissier ; while the English gave them
quarters in camp of the Fourth Division, near
thcart's Hill, rations, and passes, and horses,
and detached stall' officer to wait upon them, and
gave them passages in their steamers wherever aud
whenever they required them. General, then Captain, McClellan's report on the Crimea is contained
in 24 quarto pages, well written, clear and not
destitute of a modest self-confidence. He declares
that his object in pointing out errors is to prevent
similar mistakes on the part of American offcers.

What it Costs.—The tents for a single regiment
costs not far from $4,000. Twenty-five wagons
are required at a cost of at least $150 each and
uniforms, arms, etc.. make the entire espenBe of
equipping a regiment very near $60,000. Then, to
support them a year requires an expense of nearly
$1,000000. If ihese figures be true, one may well
shudder at the cost of war when he reflects that
nearly 300 regiments are forming for the service of
ihe Government.

A Woxderful Doo,—At Aldershott camp is a

that aro almost marvelous. The dog la perfect iu
his drill, marching slow, quick, aud at tho double,
in obedience to the word ot command. After hi
had been put through his paces, his master called
him up and asked his opiniou of the various regimen ts on the ground. " Were the Plungers the
best corps?" No sign of approval, " Were the
I2d foot?" Silence on the part of thc dog. After
going over hall'a dozen names, the master asked
exactly in the same tone as that in which he had
put the previous questions, the dog's opinionon
tbe Royal Artillery, lie instantly broke out into
joyous barking, jumping and rolling. The sergeant then called for three cheers for the King of
Prussia—no sounds ; three cheers for the King of
Naples—a low growl; three cheers for thc Emperor
of Austria—silence again; three cheers for the
Queen of England—such a volley of resounding
barks that echoed again!

BY TIMOt'llV   rircoMu.
1 take it the first great lesson a man should
learn, is that he is au ass. The earlier this lesson
js learned, the better will it be lor his peace ot
mind and his success in life. Smug never learn it
and descend into the evening of existence, th'
ears lengthening with shadows as they go. Rome
learn it early, get their ears cropped, and say
nothing about it ^while other, sensibly retire into
modest employments, where they will not be u_-
ticed. Ayoutii,. man, bred at home, and growing
up in the light of parental admiration and frater
nal pride, cannot readily understand how any out
else can he as smart as he is. He goes iuto town
puts on airs, gets snubbed, wonders what it means ;
1 into society and finds himself tongue-tied;
undertakes to speak in a debating club, and breaks
down, or gets laughed at; pays attention to a nice
young woman, aud finds a very large mitten on
his hands, and In a state of mind, '■ bordering ou
distraction,:' sitsdowu to reason about it. This it
a critic. 1 period of his history. Thc result of hi;
reasoning decides his fate. It' he thoroughly comprehends the fact that he does uot know anything :
that be is but a cipher; and whatever he gets
must be won by hard work, there is hope for hin:
He will go to work and le.irn how to live. Od th
contrary, if a huge self-conceit holds possession of
him; if he gets cross and sour, if he turns up h
nose and sneak?, he will be cut. The world has no
use tor bint. A young man who is not tractab!
and placable, and who refuses to admit to himself
that he does not know auytliing to speak of, aud
to do it good uatnredly, might as well retire to
private life first as last,
■Alter a young man lias thoroughly comprehended tbat he is au ass, the next thing for him tu
learn. is, lhat the world does not care anything
about him ; that he is the subject of nobody's admiration, or overwhelming esteem, that he has got
to look out lor himself. A letter of recommend
tion will procure an iuvitiilion to tea ; if he we.
A gOOd bat, Hit: sexton will -BOW him ft pleasant
Srat in the chinch, and expect him to contribute
liberally when the plate goes round. He Will not
be noticed until he becomes noticeable until h>
does something to prove that he has an absolute
value in society. No letter of recommendation will
give him this, except among those that think more
of blood than brains. Society demands that he
shall be somebody, and has a right to demand it.
Society will not fake this matter on trust—at
least not for a long time. Society is not so particular what a man docs-, but he mlist do something to prove that he is a man. '
When, therefore, a young tnau lias ascertained
and fully admitted the fact that he is an ass, that
the world does not care anything about him, and
that, while he holds the means In his hands of
gaining an independent livelihood^ he cannot receive assistance without compromising his self-res"
pect and selling his freedom, he is in a fair position
for beginning Hie. Wheu a young man becomes
aware that only by his own efforts cau he rise Into
mpanionship and competition wilh the sharp,
strong and well-drilled minds around him, he is
ready to work, and not before. The next lesson is
that of patience and contentment with tbe.regultir
channels oT business effort and enterprise. If
Heaven should so prosper you, that at the age of
thirty you bave really established a business lhat
pays you with certainty a living income, you are
to remember that you are faring better than the
njority of men. If you achieve a competency at
forty-five or filly, that will be soon enough ; and
I'vim bave to esra It by tne tiaracsi tabor, J", a
will know how to take care of it, aud your children will be so bred that they will not squander it.
IxcenHiaky SiiKi.i.s.— According to Gen. Ivon-
stantinoff, of Hie Russian service, who very recently published Lectures on Fuses, their History and Use. by authority of the Russian 'De-
partment of War. the most destructive compound
lor filling these missiles is a solution of phosphor-
a iu bisulphide of carbon.    The latter,   as soon
it comes iu contact with air, evaporates, leaving the phopphorous in a minute state of division
any surface it happens to fall, when it immediately takes fire, and does so repeatedly as ofteu
as it is extinguished.
[This chemical mixture for filling shells was
patented in England during the Crimean war, lint
English Government refused to use it. The
Russians have now obtained the secret and will
uot be so stupidly backward in its employment.]
How Fort Cihjkciiii.i. Look.,.—A Washoe correspondent thus describes Fort Churchill :
Fort Churchill la not a fort; it, is simply a gar-
. ..'On, without a single breastwork or any other
defence whatever except the breasts of its occupants. It consists of twentJ-two ftdobe buildings,
connected in the form of a hollow eqaafe, and Qve
wooden .inicliir.. used a* slubles and out-house..
; situated on a sandy plain on the north foi k
of Carson river, some aeventy-five miles from
Careorj City, fhe capital ofthe territory.
Draw WoKii-.—aii tiie iUnh-p ,-t Inrtlnotlvs lie
rol-ttl uud prescient thirstof glory which arecoin-
monly ascribed to Nelson, are indisputable.    It lias
been vaguely rumored, indeed, that the signal originally proposed by hi in at Trafalgar, Was " Net
son expects every man to do bis duty," ami that
England was substituted at the suggestion of
Hartty or Blackwood. According to the authentic
narrative of Southey, Nelson asked Captain Black-
wood if he did not think there was a signal wanting. "Blackwood made answer that he thought
the whole fleet seemed very clearly to understand
what they were about. Tbe words were scarcely
spoken before the -IgnaJ was mude Which will be
remembered as long as the language or even the
memory of England shall endure.'' Nelson's last
intelligible words were, " Thank God, I have done
my duty.1,
BffOg words and speeches present an ample Held
fur the inventive I'licultbie ot biographers und liic
torians. It is reported that Louis XlV.'a to .Mad
mtie (In Maintenou were, "We shall soon mee
again," and that shu murmured, •' A pleasant rendezvous he is giving tne; that man never loved
any one but himself." Of Talleyrand, M. Louis
Blanc relates: " When the Abbe Dupanloup
p„nted to him the words of the Arclitiisliop of
Paris, "I would give my life for M. de Tulleyraud,7'
he replied, " He might make a better uaeofit/'
and expired.
Do such narratives command implicit faith ?
Did Goethe die calling lor light? or Frederick
Seblegel with abcr (but) in Ills mouth? or liahe-
lais explaining, '• Drop the curtain ; the farce Is
played out!"' or Clieslm'lield just after telling the
servant, with characteristic pobtenesj, "Give 1)ay-
rollcs a chair ?" or Locke remarking to .Mrs. Marsh-
am, " Life is a poor vanity?'' Did the expiring
Addison Call the young Eat! of Warwick to h
bedside that he might learn " how ft Christian
could die?" Was Pitt's heart broken by Aurier-
Utz, and were the last words be uttered, " my country, oh, my country V George Rose.Who had access to the best information, says ihey were ; and
says also that the news of the armistice alter the
battle of Austeriit-, drove Pitt's gout from the extremities to the stomach. But the Duke of Wellington, who met Pitt at Slanmoro Priory shcrlly
after the arrival of tbe OOWB, always maintained
that Pitt's spirit was not by any means broken by
the disappointment. Oil plausible grounds it bus
been alleged that Canning's last illness was aggravated by suppressed atlgef at otic of Lord
Grey's attacks; that he had serious thoughts of
being called np to the House cf Peers to answer it;
and that his dying words were, " Give mc tin.
give me time!" Lord Chatham made his son read
to him, a day or two before he died, the passage
Pope's Homer, describing the death of Heetor_ and
when ho-had done, said, •' Head it again."
sonville Sentinel of the 3d ult.. we learn that ft
severe rain storm hail raged in Southern Oregon.
Jackson Creek (n small stream, which in th. dry
season one ttiay Blep across).liad risen to such a
degree that it broke the reservoir just above town
and deluged the lower putt of the town, doing but
little damage, however. Heports were received
from other quarters of high waturs and great, destruction of property; but as all cominuuicaiiini
was cut off, no particulars could bo l.arnedi The
flood has doubtless extended through the Rogue
liiver and Umpqua valleys, and we may expect to
hear of heavy losses there. The stages had ceased
to run, ou account of loss of bridges.
By orders from Washington, a number oT pris^-
oncrSi mostly Marylanders, have been released
from Fort Warren, after talcing the oath of allegiance. Five prisoners, whose discharge had been
ordered by Se.retaiy Seward, refused to take the
oath of allegiance, as billows: W. Q. Harrison,
Robert A. Carter. Thomas Shields. George A. Ap-
pleton-, and Michael J. Grady. They wete all returned into custody.
Reports sent about Gen, BIcnker's resignation
are incorrect. General McClellan and Blenkei
Command have tlie greatest confidence in him,and
resignation Would not bo accepted if offered.
The affair grew out of a letter sent by Gen. Bleu-
ker to Gen. McClellan, which contained expressions
which Gen. McClellan rebuked him for, but said
he presumed It was Gen. Blenker's imperfect
knowledge of English which caused the improper
expressions, and the affkir is considered satisfac
torily settled.
GARKI90N at Boston.—Wm. Lloyd Garrison dewed an address before the 28th   Cougressii'
Society at Music  Hall yesterday  morning.    His
uhjeetwas, The State of the Country. He extended the right hand of Abolition fellowship to
the Hon. Charles Sumner for his emancipation
speeches—endorsed General Fremont's proclamation, which, he said, the President had no power
to revoke—said he  did'nt  believe the charges
gainst Fremont's character—said that those opposed to thc abolition of Blavery at the present
time were traitors—and in Ooncjtlrtlon urged his
■ere to sign tlie petition which is being circuited, asking Congress to abolish slavery under
the war power,—Boston Courier, Vltli Nov.

The St. Louis Republican of Nov. _._b, says :
General f.el.on> in command of .l.t'Of) men. has1
arrived at Louisville, from Eastern Kentucky.—
The men were conveyed in seven boat., and wilt
immediately proceed to a position unsigned them
on the Nashville road. (Jen,Nelson, before leaving Eastern Kentucky, restored entire peace to
that section of thc State, every rebel command
having been driven out,and the loyal people will
keep it purged of lbe Disunlonists. Gen. Bttell is
making active exertions to commence at a very
early day, offensive operations against ttie rebels,
and Tennessee will soon have the war. witli al!
its horrors, carried into her own territory. In the
future, tile battle field will be ou her own soil, and
Nashville and Memphis will be scourged as they
deserve for their di.-loyally. At present, IhflW
70,000 Federal troops in Kentucky-—nine regi-
Bteots from Illinois, sixteen ftoin Indiana, aeven-»
teen Irom Ohio, three from Pennsylvania,one from
Michigan, three from Wisconsin, and two from
Minnesota—and at least „5,000 of her own soldiers.
The army is well appointed, and batteries of artillery and squadrons of cavalry go along to give it
greater efficiency.
It is safe to calculate on 2,.,000 more troopa
from Western Virginia, where ihere will be no uso
for them this winter, thus swelling this grand division of the army to 100,000 men. Nashville, it
is now palpable, is to be the tttst object of attack
ol Gen. Buell's command, and thut it will be successful can hardly be doubted. Kentucky will bo
redeemed from the tramp of armed invaders, and
Nashville having been taken, Meinpfits will be iu^
vested on that side) while Gun. Halleck's lorces
will be sent forward by water and land, and with
a concentrated attack, a speedy capture of that
ciiy, open us a highway to New Orleans. What
amount of force Gen. ltd Heck will put into tho
field ou this line, it is not necessary to state with
any particularity. It is enough that it will
answer all pitrposes. The fleet to be used iu this
movement will soon be ready and concentrated at
Cairo, and then we may look for stirring work in
the rebellious States.
The idea that there is to be uo winter campaign
is ft fallacious one, and as our men are better
equipped, better clothed, better fed, and quite as
willing to do battle as the badly clothed, badly
fed, badly paid soldiers oF the rebel army, they
would hardly consent to remain inactive for a
whole winter. They want this War over, and the
exhibition of theif power and their earnestness is
the surest way to accomplish it. If, as the tele-^
graph advises us, the seat of the General Goveniment is to be removed from Richmond to Nashville, it would be well for the rebels to calculnle,
wbelher lhat city will not he iu the hands of the
Unionists before their archives can be transported
thither.    It is very likely to happen.

Bus.    McCdixougu's    Wintkk    Q_r_.BTERB.--I-
appears   to    bo   generally    ouderatood   iu   the
South as iu the Wei,t, that  Hen   McCuIlough   will
take up winter quarter., in Arkansas.    Ttie  Port
Smith (Ark.)  T^me* of October _:)d says t
have very reliable  inlormation   that   after
We
a sixty days Campaign in Kansas and Missouri,
the McCiiltougu division will tall back into Arkansas, The quartermaster has advertised for the
building of stables to accomodate 5,000 army
horses and a large number of mules ; also ; 100,000
bushels of corn and 3,750 tous of hay to forage
these animals. The valley htts boon drawn upon
during the entire summer and fall for the support
ot Gen. McCullough's army, and we hope and irust
that the encampment of such a large number of
men and animals among us this winter will not
materially pinch us in our own necessary supplies.
Nkw BtoOKADlHfl FLEET.—We have before us secret instructions to a fleet of twenty-five vessels,
ately purchased by the United Staler Government,
and sailed in its service. These vessels were nil
old, and loaded with stones, and provided with
pipes to let water into their holds. According to
file itislruclions, they were to bo imuk at the en ■
trance of Southern harbors ftbe names of which
are nol published), and they have, doubt lesx, ere
this performed  their service.—Mercantile Oat.

CoN'ricMi'i,.u'Kn Suits roa Damaui-:-'.---The subject of the liability of the Sacramento Valley Kail-
road Company (or the damage done to tVftl aud per*
sonul property in this city, is being pretty freely discussed among those who have suffered by the Into
Hood. It is generally held—as the agents of tbo
company stopped up tbe natural watercourse on Jt
street, near Seventeenth, uot only without any lo-
gal authority, but iu the face of the protest of tho
City Council, and thereby ou Monday last dammed
tip the water until the city was deluged—that there*
fore the Company, as a Company, aud the agents iu -
dividu.illy, are responsible for the injury done. It
seems probable troni pieseut indications that several hundred suits will be commenced, and that out*
lawyers and Courts will be busy with tbe subject.
