A field of tobacco, just ready to bloom,
And -tretcnlng In lordly pride.
To the broad leaved neighbor at once he called,
In accents loud and clear—
" I thought you belonged to a summer clime ;
Pray, whai arc you doing here?"
So, then, with a haughty air, replied
Thai plant of power and pelf,
" You are pleased lo ask my business, sir—
What do you do, yourwll V
" I feed the muscles, and blood, and bone,
That make onr farmers strong.
And furnish bread for the little ones
That round their table throng."
" I move in a somewhat loftier sphere,"
The foreign guest rejoined,
" As the chosen friend and companion dear
Of men ol wealth and mind.
" I'm the chief delight orthe gay young spark!
O'er the wise my sway I hold ;
I link iu the book-worm student's cell —

Millions of corn 1 raise" —

Touching Glasses in Drinking.—A writer in
the Historical .Magazine, for November, thus attempts to explain the origin of tbo habit cf touching glasses iu drinking :
"One branch of my ancestry was Scotch, and devoted adherents of Charles Stuart. While a boy,
iny father possessed a heavy cut-and-thrust, basket-
bilted-SWOrd, which one of tho Richardson family,
my father's maternal ancestor, bad used at Cnllo-
dcn. From him this tradition descended to the
family as to the touching of glass s. When after
tho failure of the expedition of tbe so-called Pretender, Prince Charles, in 1715, that Prince crossed to France, his supporters were beset on every
hand wilh spies; il hequently happened that they
were placed in situations where they could not,
with safely, refuse to respond to the common loast,
"the health of tbe King." It was understood between the faithful Lhat when tbo King's health was
drunk, it was the King " over the water ;" and to
express this symbolically, one glass was passed
over another. In the lower part of South Carolina
and Virginia, generally settled with cavaliers, tbe
habit has prevailed and spread wherever their descendants have gone to the South and West. It if
tl.e habit ol men to day, in drinking, to touch
glasses, invariably,but I have never known lhe cus
torn explained by any one else. You may rely upon
the truo explanation."
PnoKE.snit AoASSta.—One of the Bigns of the
subjects counted vnW^
nee this reflected everywhere—in   the magazines
and in the cheap  scientific   manuals  with   which
the press teems.   The conductors of the At/antic
Monthly have made aa important move toward
satisfying that waut, by securing as regular contributor to that magazine the distinguished Pro-1
fessor whoso name heads this paragraph.    Professor Agassi/, is confessedly without a peer in  the
department of science to which ho has devoted his
Tifo. and there is great satisfaction in anticipating
a new work from bis pen.    Such a work is sure to
be truatworty, for the first naturalist in the world
speaks with authority upou subjects which owe so
much to his original investigations.   The charm
of Professor Aga.siz's manner, and the simplicity
and directness of his mode of instruction, have
long been celebrated traditionally, and will commend these papers to the general reader desirous
of adding to the sum of his knowledge in on important branch of science.    Thia aeries of papers
will bo upon tho methods of study in Natural History and kindred topics, and will  bo continued in
very number through tbe year 18G2.
Mixing.—Speaking of, thc effects of the flood on
mining operations in Sierra, tho Citizen observes:
There has been removed from the gold bearing
streams of Sierra couuty, an average of ten feet
of tailings.   Now. for the last aix years these tailings had to be got clear of, and' tbey contained so
Bmall an amount of gold that they were not considered worth washing, yet they all had gold scattered through them.   The freshet has sluioed this
gravel away and left the gold in the bottom of
the river.   Tho miner has at once got rid of the
tailings, and the gold is saved, and now when he
commences work the river will pay from  the top

[Giving au account of Richard Lee, a private
soldier, who had been taken belore tbe magistrate
oftbe town of Glasgow for playing cards during
divine service.]
The sergeant commanded the soldiers at the
church, and when the parson had rend the prayers, he took Ihe text. Those who had a bible took
it out; .but this soldier had neither bible nor com.
nton prayer book ; but, pulling out a pack of cards,
he spread them out before him. He first looked at
one card and then another. The sergeant of the
company saw him, and said :
" liichard, put up the cards ; this is no place for
them."
" Never mind that," said Richard.
When the service was over, the constable took
Richard  prisoner, and   brought him before   the
Mayor.
Well," says tho Mayor, "what have you brought
this Roldicr hero for ?"
" For playing cards in church."
'■ Well, soldier, what have you to say for your-
" Much, sir, I hope.''
"Very good ; if not, I will punish.-you uiore

Of cards, audi hope to be able to satisfy your
worship of fie purity of my intentions.''
" Very good," Said the Mayor.
Then _pi catling tbe cards before the Mayor, he
hegan with the ace :
Wheu I ace the aco, It reruinda me that there
is ouly one God.
" When I see the deuce, it reminds me of Father
and Son.
" When I see the tray, it reminds mo of Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost.
" When I see the tour, it reminds me of the four
Evangelists that preached—Matthew, Mark, Luke
aud John.
" When I see the five, it reminds me ot the five
wise Virgins tbat  trimmed their lamps.    Ther
were ten, but live were wise, and five were foolish,
and were shut out.
When I see the six, it reminds me that in six
days ihe Lord made heaven and earth.
Waen I see the seven, it reminds me that on
the seventh day God rested from tho great work
which he had made, and hallowed it.
When I seethe eight.it reminds me of tho
eight righteous persons that were saved when God
destroyed the world, viz ; Noah aud his wife, his
three sons and their wives.
" Wheu I sea the nine, it reminds me ot tho nine
Lepers that were cleansed by our Saviour. There
were nine out ot ton that never returned thanks.
" When I see the ten, it reminds me of the Ten
Commandments which God handed down to Moses
ou the tablets of stoue.
When I see the king, it reminds mo of the Great
King of Heaven, which is God Almighty.
When I see the queen, it reminds rae of the
Queen ol Sheba, who visited Solomon, for she wm

with her fifty girls and fifty boys, all dressed in
and which were girls. King Solomon sent lor water
for them to wash ; the girls washed to tbo elbows
the boys to the wrists, so King Solomon told by
that."
" Well," said the Mayor, "you have given n
description of all tbe cards in the pack except one.'
" Wbat is lhat?" said the soldier.
The knave," said  tbe Mayor.
i will give your honor a description of that
too, if you will not be angry."
"I will not," said the Mayor, ,;ifyou will not

Sam Johnson was a culled man
WhoTived down by the sea ;
lie owned a good rat tarrier,
' That stood 'bout one toot three ;
And the way that creecher chawed np rats
Was gorjuss Icr to see.
One day this dorg was slobber'm'
Behind the kitchen 3tove,
When suddenly a wicked flea—
An ugly little cove—
Commenced upon his (aithful back
With many jumps to rove.
Then up arose that tarrier,
With frenzy inhiBeye,
And waitin' only long enough
To make a toucbin' cry,
Commenced to twist hisself around
Most wonderfully spry.
But all in vain ; bis shape was sich—
So (irfiil short and tut-
That though he doubled up hisself,
Aud strained hisself at that,
Iiis mouth was hall au inch away
.From where the varmiut Bat.
The dorg setup aorful howl.
And twisted tike u eel,
Emitting cries of misery
At every nip he'd leel,
And turn Win' down and jurapiu' up,
And tumin' like a wheel.
.. Rut still that most owdacious flea
Kept up a constant chaw,
Just where hecould'ut be scratched out
Ry any reach of paw,
And always h-„U ao inch beyond
His wio-im's .nappiu'jaw.
Sam Johnson heard the noise, and came
To save his aniraile ;
But when he saw the critter spin—
A barkiu' all the while—
He dreadeil hyderfobia,
And then began to rile,
"The purp is mad enough," says he,
And luggin1 iu his ax,
ne give the wretched tarrier
A pair of or ful whacks.
That streched him out upou the floor,
As dead as carpet-lacks.

From D'lsrncil's Curio-Mies of I.Iteiatnrc
OP FALSE POLITICAL KEPOKTS.
" A false ic port, if believed during three days'
may be of great service to a Government." This
political maxim has been ascribed to Catherine of
Medicis, an adept in coups d'etats and arcana im-
peris! Between .olid lying and disguised truth
there is a difference known to wrilers .killed ir
■'fhe art of governing mankind by deceiving ihem ;
as polities, ill understood, have be.n defined, and
us are nil party politics, ihe. e forgers prefer to use
the truth disguised, to the gross liciion." When lhe
real truth cau no longer be concealed, theu they
confidently refer to it ; for they cm still explain
and obscure, while they secure on their side tbe
party whose cause they have advocated. A curious reader ol history may discover the temporary
and sometimes ths lasting advantages of spreading
rumors designed to disguise, or to counteract the
a panic, which might iustantly occur ; in this way
the public is saved from the horrors o!" consternation, and the stupefaction ot d.sp.ir. These rumors give a breathing time to prepare for tbe disaster, which is doled out cautiously ; and, as might
be shown, iu some cases these first reports have
left an event in so ambiguous a state, that a doubt
in. y still arise whether tnese reports were really
so destitute of trulh_! Such reports, once printed,
enter into history, and sadly perplex the honest
hi. torian. Ofa battle fought iu a remote situation,
both parties for a long time, ut homy, may dispuie
the Vletc.y after the event, and the pen may prolong what the swerd bad long decided. This
bas been no unusual circumstance : of several of
the most important battles oa which the late of
Europe has hnn_i, were we to rely on some of the
reports of the time, we might still doubt of tbe
manner of the transaction. A skirmish bas been
often raised into an arranged bailie, and a defeat
concealed, in an account ol the killed and wounded, while victory bas been claimed by both parties !
Villeroy, in all his encounters with Marlborough,
always sent home dispatches by which no one could
suspect that he was disco-.fitted. Pompey, after
his fatal battle with Cassar, sent letters to all the
provinces and cities of Ifre Romans, describing witb
greater courage than be bad fought, so that a report generally prevailed that Cesar hf_id lost the
battle! Plutarch informs us, lhat three hundred
writers had described the battle of Marathon. Many
doubtless bad copied their predecessors : but it
would pei haps have surprised us to bave observed
how materially some differed iu  their narratives.
In looking over a collection of manuscript letters of the times of James the First. I was struck
by tho contradictory reports ofthe famous battle
Of Lutzen, so glorious and so fatal to Gnstavus
Adolphiis; the victory was sometimes reported to
uncertainty, a sort o! mystery, agitated the major
ily of the uation, who were staunch to the Pro-
testant cause. This state ol anxious suspense lasted
a considerable time. The fatal truth gradually
came out m reports changing in their progress ,
if the victory was allowed, the death of the Protestant Hero closed all hope! The historian of
Gusiavns Adolpbua observes on this occasion, that
■' Few couriers were better received than those who
conveyed the accounts of the King's death to declared enemies or concealed ill wishers; nor did
the report greatly displease the courtat Whitehall,
where the ministry, as it u.ually happens iu cases
of timidity, had its degree of apprehensions for
fear the event should not be true; and, as I have
learned from good authority, imposed sik.ic . on
the news wrilers, and intimated the same to the
pulpit in case any funeral encomium might pro
ceed Irom that quarter.1' AHhough the motive
assigned by the writer, that of the secret indisposition of the cabinet of James the Fir_t towards
the fortunes of Gustavus, is to me by no means
certain : unquestionably the knowledge of this dis
aslrous event whs long kept back by a "timid ministry," ar.d the fluctuating reports probably regulated by their desi -ns.
The same circumstance occurred on another important event in mod. m history, where we may
in disgui"""
baitfo  ofthe   BojBfl,     The  Preuch  Oft I boll 0 pi
long   reported   that OoOOt   Uuz-.in  had won  tho
battle,.and that UL Item IN, was kilted.    Buasy
Rhbutln in some memoirs, [_ which be appears to
have registered public events wi shout, sci nllnislng
their   truth,' says : " I chronicled this account ao-
oordioa   us  the   first  reports  gave   ont,   when at
length tho real fact  reached   them, the party did
not like to lose their pretended victory."    Pere
Lond-.-l.   who   pabHflbed   a register   of   (ho   times.
which is favorably   noticed   iu the  " No.iv< 1 ■■> d ■
la Republic des l_e.tr88_'»'<br L699> fa si oo.de
the eve it in thia deceptive   moanet : "The battle
or the Boyne tn Ireland ; Schomberg is hi led there
at the head of  tlie  English."    This is " ail eqniv-
ocator!"    The writer resolved   to conceal the  defeat ot James' parly, and cauiiously suppresses any
iiienlion of a victory, but  very care/ully gi
[>'-l fe.;:, ])y '.vMe.L !ii., readers would hardly doubt
to this traffic of ftthe reports, that we are scarcely
aware that many important events recorded in history were in their day strangely disguised  by such
mystifying accounts.    This we can  only  discover
by reading private letters written at tbe moment.
Bayle bas collected several remarkable absurdities
of this kind, which were spread abroad to answer
a temporary   purpose,  but  which had never been
known to us had   these   contemporary  loiters not
been published.    A report waa prevalent iu   Holland in 1580, that the kings of France and   Spain
and the Duke of Alva were dead ; a felicity which
for a time sustained the exhausted   spirits   of  the
revolutionists.    At the   invasion of lhe  Spanish
Armada, Burleigh   spread reports   of  the   Iburab
screws, and other instruments  of   torture,   which
the Spaniards had  brought with them, and thus
inflamed   the  haired   of the  nation.    The horrid
story of the bloody Colonel Kirke is considered as
oneof those  political   forgeries to serve the purpose of blackening a zealous partisan.
False reports are sometimes stratagems at war.
When tbe chiefs ofthe league had lost the battle
at Ivry, with an army brokeu and discomfitted,
they stili kept possession of Paris merely by im
posing on the inhabitants all sorts ol false reports,
such as the death of the king of Navarre, at the
fortunate moment when victory, undetermined ou
which side to incline, turned for the leaguers ; nnd
they gave out false reports of a number ol victories
ihey had elsewhere obtained. Such tales, distributed in pamphlets aud ballads among a people
agitated by doubts, and fears, are gladly believed;
Oattering their wishes, of Booth!ng their alarms,
they contribute to their ease, and are too agreeable to allow of time for reflection.
The history of a report creating a panic mny be
traced in the Irish insurrection, in the curious memoirs of James II. A forged proclamation of the
Prince of Orange wa»set forth by one Speke, and
like magic iustantly rau through the people, so
that in one quarter of the town of Drogheda, they
imagined the other was filled with blood and ruins'.
During this panic pregnant women miscarried,
aged persons died with terror, while ibe trmb was,
that the Irish themselves were disarmed and dispersed, in utter waut of a meal or a lodging!
In the unhappy times of our civil wars uuder
Charles tbe First, tho newspapers and the private
letters afford specimens of this political contrivance of ialse reports of every species. No .xlriiv-
agance of inveniiou to spread a terror against a
party was too gros:*, and the city of London was
one day alarmed that the royalists were occupied
by a plau of blowing up the river Thames, by an
immense quautity ot powder warehoused at the
river side; and that there exisled hu organized
though invisible brotherhood of many thousands
with consecrated knives ; and those who hesitated
to give credit, to such rumors were branded as mu-
lignants, who took not lhe danger of the parliament to heart. Forged conspiracies aud reports of
great but distant victories were inventions to keep
up the spirit of a party, but ofteucr prognosticated
some intended change iu the government. When
they were desirous of augmenting the array, or
introducing new garrisons, or using an extreme
measure with the city, or the royalists, there was
always a new conspiracy set afloat ; or when any
great affair was to be carried in parliament, great
viclories were published to dishearten lhe opposition, and infuse additional bolduess in their own
party. If lhe report lasted only a lew days, it obtained ils purpose, and verified the observation
of Catharine of Medicis. Those politician, who
raise such t'ul-e reports obtain their end ; like lbe
architect, who in building an arch, supports it
wilh circular props and pieces of timber, or any
Wma u tf au" iWfofai >' 'Audfe "* nmjws a way tne
prop,! There is no class of political lying which
can want for illustration if we consult the records
oi our civil wars ; there we may trace tho whole
art in the nice management ol its shades, its qualities, and its more complicate parts, from invec-
itive to puff, and from inuendo to prevarication I —
We may admire the scrupulous correction ofa lie
which tbey bad told, by another which ihey are
telling! and triple lying to overreach their opponents; royalists and parliamentarians were M.ke ;
for to tell one great truth-, the father of lies'' is of
no party !
As "nothing is new under the sun," so this ai t
of deceiving the public was unquestionably practised among the ancients. Syphax sent Scipio
word that he could not unite with the it minis,
but, on the contrary, had declared for tha Carthaginians. Tne Roman army was then anxiously
waiting for his expected Hiccors : Scipio wiia careful to show the utmost civility to these BmbasBa-
dors, and ostentatiously treated them wilh presents, tbat his soldiers might believe they were only
returning to hasten the army of .Syphax to join the
Romans. Livy censures tbe Roman consul, who,
after the defeat at Omn.-, toM the deputies or the
allies tbe whole loss they *-_ sustained : * This
consul," says Livy, "by   giving (oo falt-fal   and
observe the artifice o, party writers in dousing | open aa account ^"^^JEX
or _i..._u-c--iiig the real fact.   This was the famous i and his army appear dill more contemp.ibl..
The result of the Simplicity of the OOQSU! was. that
'■■'- allies, despairing that the li,minis would ever
recover their losses, deemed it prudent to mate
terms with Hannibal. Plutarch tells an amusing
Btory, iu his way, ol ihe n Unral progress of a report, which wgtoontrary to the wishes ol the government ; ihennhappy reporter suffered punishment as long as  the   rumor   prevailed,   though at
last it proved true,   a Btrsoger landing from Bifll-
ly, atabarhe.'ssh.ip.ie'iveralall tl.e pa.tlca.ai_
of the d.feat of iht Athenians, el which, however,
ihe  people   were   yet   un informed.    ?__o   barber
leaves untrinimeil ihe r.'poiier's beard, and flies
away to vent the news in the city, where he lold iho
Archons what hu had heard. The whole city was
thrown In a ferment. The Archons called an assembly of the people, and produced the luckless
barber, who iu his confusion c ndd not give auy
lUfilflfttorj account of the lb. t reporter, lie waa
disturber of the public quiet"; for lhe Athenians
could not imagine but lhat they were invincible.
The barber was dragged to the wheel and torluted
till tho disaster was more ihau confirmed. l>..ylo,
referring to this Story observes, that hail the barber reported a victory, though it had proved to be
false, he would not have been punished ; a shrewd
observation, whioh occurred to him from his recollection of the fate of Stratooles. This person
persuaded the Athenians lo perform a public
sacrifice and thanksgiving lor a victory obtained
at sea, though ho woll knew at the time that tho
Athenian fleet had been totally defeated. When
the calamity could no longer be concealed, tho
people charged him wilh befog an imposter; but
Stratocles saved bis life and mollified their anger
by the pleasant turn be gave to the whole allalr.—
"Have I done you any injury?'' said he. " I_ it not
owiug to me that you have spent three days in the
pleasures of victory ?" I think that this spreader
ol good, bill, He ti tious news, should have occupied
the wheel oftbe luckless barber, who had spreid
bad but true news ; lor lhe barber had uo intention of deception, but Stratooles had ; and the
question here to he tried, was nut the truth or the
falsity of the reports, but whether the reporters
intended   to deceive   iheir   lellow-eilizeu. ?    Tho
" Chronicle'' and the " Post'1 must be challenged
on such a jury, and all the race of news-scribes,
whom l'atiu characterises as hooiinum genus
audacissimum nu-ndacissimnm uvidissimum.—
Latin superlatives are too rich to sillier si translation. But What Patin says In his letter 356 may
be applied : " These writers insert In Iheir papers
things they do not kuow, and ought not to write.
It Ib the same trick that is playing which was formerly played ; it is the very same farce, only it is
exhibited by new aclors. The worst circumstance,
I think, io this, is, that this trick will contiuuo
playing a long course of years, and that tbo oub-
__.-U.-l.al'lWlli_t.-  "
In one respect tbete is a perfect analogy between
tho advance ol the Federal army into tl o revolted
States and lhat of Bonaparte into Russia—we inea'ii
the terrible servile alliance En each ease off red.
Slays Ili/.iit. in his Life of Napoleon: "One great

Such is thc perfectly analogous situation in tho
two cases. We believe our true policy is precisely
that which commended itself to the greatest publicist o! his age. Bmaparte refused to aval himself
of tho disposition of the serfs to rise agaiust iheir
masterB, and why ? For precisely tbe identica
reisons which force themselves upon us. "Too
serfs," said he, "are unfit to be trusted with the liberty tbey desire. II I encourag. the subjects ol
the Czar to rise against him, I cannot hope that ho

That being the object of Bonaparte, as he himself
declared, he did not doubt that his true policy was
to prevent his political war Irom being the occasion
of a'social and servile one. Ha held to this policy
tothe  last, even to To - time he left Moscow.   As   .

who was present during most of the campaign:
"There is no question lhat a civil war could have
been fomented in Russia; and it was Bonaparte
who rejected the offers of insurrection which were
made to him doling the t me he wa- in Moscow.
Now, if Bonaparte was oo-ipelled, by tha importance of not pc-nnuiently alienating the C»r, and
