General Wade Hampton is a grandson of Bngadier,General W ade Hampton, of the Revo lution and War of 1812, and a son of the late Colonel Wade Hampton, well known throughout the Union to the patrons of the turf. Wade Hampton the elder was a native of Prince George County, Maryland, in the vicinity of Washington, and of obscure parentage, . lie entered the Revolutionary army as a . wagon master, and from that humble position gradually rose to the rank of Colonel. After the war he emigrated to South Carolina, and became a planter, and, on the acquisition of Louisiana, made such investments in that territory, on the .Mississippi, near New Orleans, as to render him, on his death in -1836,. one of the richest men in the country. On the breaking out of tLe rebellion, the present Wffde Hampton was regarded as among the richest men at the Svuth. He was originatly opposed to secession frankly confessed that he saw nothing in it but ruin to himself and his relatives; but when the war commenced, em barked in it with all the impetuosity of an ardent natnre, and by his gallantry'and skill as a cavalry officer, soon Attained the rank of Lieutenant General. In person he is described as one of the most strikingly "elegant men of the day very tall, with classical features, and a magnifi cent black beard altogether, quite- a Cavalier of the Bayard order. His officers and men were devotedly attached to him not more for his dauntless courage in the field than for those rare qualities of head and heart for which he is equally distinguished. At the celebrated conlerenco Uctween Generals Sherman ajid Johnston in North Carolina, I am informed' that Wade Hampton, as he sat upon his horse, formed altogether the noticeable fea ture of the occasion, and attracted the unwearied admiration of. the .Federal soldiers who were present, to whom he had been previously un known. As one of them remarked afterward. " Hampton looked as. if he bad stepped, horse and all, out of a canvass by Titian or Velasoeuz." Wade Hampton is about forty years of age, and with the exercise1 of prudence, and modera tion, will not unlikely, unless destitute of ambi tion, fill a very prominent place in the future history of the-South Brighatn Young has had a new "revelation." He says it is the will of God that the sisters should make their own bonnets and hats for themselves and their families, from straw and other materials raised in the Utah mountains." The next "revelation" will probably dictate the style in which they are to be made and worn. It is said that Brigham Young has a large lot of rye straw "for sale in lots to suit purchasers," which perhaps accounts for the straw .hat reve lation. During the war the jewels of Zion lodge of Masons in Jones county, -North Carolina, fell into the bands of a Connecticut regiment, and were ultimately brought to Hartford, where they were repaired by the St. John's Lodge of that city, and forwarded to the North Carolina owners, with sundry additions to their value. - -- - Essay on Dogs Josh Billings favors the world with a brief essay on dogs. "Dogs in the lump," says Josh, "are nseful, but they are not always profitable. The Nufoundlin dog is use ful to save children . from drownipg; but you have got to have a pond of water and children running about kareless or else the dog aio'i pro fitable There ain't nothing made boarding a Nufoundlin dog. Rat terriers are useful to catch rats; bat the rats ain't profitable after you have ketched them. The shepherd dog is nse ful tew drive sheep, and pay more than they are worth, iust to k;ep the doc bussv. the doe ain't profitable not much. Lapdogs are very.uscful; but if you don't bold them in your lap awl the ! time, they ain't profitable at all. : The coach j dbg is one of the mos useful ov dogs X know ovj j but you have got to bave a coacb, "(and that i ain't always pleasant) or you can't realize from J the d"g. , Thus we. see that, while 'dogs are j generally useful, there are times when they ain't , generally profitable," ; '.. " ' . ; HOW-TO BREATHE. ".There is one rule to be observed in taking ex ercise by walking the very best form in which it can be taken by the young and able-bodied of all ages and that is, never to allow the action of respiration "to be earried on through the mouth. The nasal passages are clearly the medium through which respiration was, by. our Creator, designed to be earned on.' "God breathed into mau's nostrils the breath of life " previous to his bocotniog a living creature. The difference in the exhaustion of strength by a long walk with the trouth firmly closed", and respira tion carried on -through the nostrils instead of through the mouth, is inconceivable to those who have never tried the experiment. Indeed, this mischievous and really unnatural habit of carrying on the work of inspiration and expira tion through the mouth, instead of through the nasal passages, is the true origin of almost all the diseases of the throat and lungs, as bron chitis, congestion, asthma, and even consumption itself. That excessive perspiration to which some individuals are so liable in their sleep, which is so weakening to the body, is solely the effect of such persons sleeping with their mouths unclosed. ' And the same unpleasant and ex haustive results arie to the animal system from walking with the mouth open, instead of, when not engaged iu conversation, preserving the lips in a state of firm, but quiet compression. As the heat and velocity of the blood through the lungs depend almost entirely upon the quantity of the atmospheric air inhaled with each inspir ation, and ' it is unavoidable that it should be taken in, in volume, by the mouth, while it can only be supplied iu moderate quantities, and just iu sufficient proportion to serve the purpose of a heslthy respiratory action, while supplied through the nostrils, it is clear that the - body must be much lighter and 'cooler, and the breath ing much freer and easier, when the latter course rather than the former is the one adopted Children ought never to be allowed to stand or walk with their mouths open; for, besides the vacant appearance it gives to the countenance, it is the certain precursor of coughs, colds, and sore throats. Gen. L. S. Baker. This distinguished Confederate officer since the war ha3 quietly settled iu-Newbern and engaged in Hotel keep ing. . "' We had the pleasure of stopping with him a few days since and can bear testimony to the excellence of his table, the comfort of his rooms, and the attention of his servants. It gives us pleasure, to commend the North Carolina Hottl to the favorable consideration of the travelling public. Gohhboro 2seics. A New Scheme of Reconstruction. A bill has been drawn up in Washington for pre sentation to Congress on the first day of the session proposing a new'Mjheme of restoration It provides for the appointment by the Presi dent of a Governor of each State lately in re bellion. The Governor so appointed is to have the appointment of all executive and judicial officers within the State, according to the laws of the State in force at the time of his enteting into office, except such laws or enactments as may, have been passed by a legislature recog nizing and co-operating with'the late Confede rate government after the passage of the ordi nance of secession iu such State. The Govern or is farther authorized to organize courts in accordance with the said laws of the State. All of his proclamations arc to have the same force as the laws. He is to open a registry, where all qualified voters can be registered on taking a stringent oath of allegiance. They are then to elect legislators, who ure to prepare a constitu tion, on which Congress is to decide. If adopt ed by Congress, all military restriction on said Stata is to be abandoned. Baltimore Svn. The'Stones of the Temilk The stones which composed Solomon's temple were said to be forty cubits long, twelve thich, and eight hiph Supposing a cubit to be eighteen inches, which is the lowest estimate, they would be sixty feet long, eighteen feet thick, and twelve high. And supposing a cubit foot of marble to weigh 2,707 ounces, one of these stones weighed 2,752,038 pounds and 12 ounces. And suppos ing one man to be able to raise 200 pounds, it would require 13,700 men to raise one of them, and also a little boy 'who could, raise 3S pounds and 12 ounces. And suppose one man tore quire a square yaid to stand upon, it would re quire '2 acres, 3 rods, 11 perchtB and 12 yards lor them, to.'stand upon while raising it, besides .a'place for the little boy to stand. What floats must have been necessary to carry them across the sea to Joppa ! And what kind cf teams, as well as wagons, "do you suppose they had to carry these stones from Joppa to Jerusalem, which is about thirty miles, and a mountainous country? And what skill was nczessary to square and dress these itnmct.se stones, so that when they jvcre brought together, they fitted so exactly, that they bad the appearance of being one solid stone. Advertising. The reason why the great Sarsaparilla man could "afford to build tho hand somest palace on Fifth Avenue, why Phincas T- Barnum could afford to lose two fortunes, and be still wealthy,' why Professor Holloway had j almost the largest uninheritcd estate in England, ; why three immense fortunes have been made j by three sever! Sewing Machine companies, why a poor fifth-rate drugqist, who, ten years ago kept a little obscure ttore io Philadelphia, is to-day making out of common rum and a f--w herbs a princely income, and why hundreds' of others are succeeding in this world, while their neighbors in tho same line of business are fill ing, lies, more than anything else, in one word advertising. Mercantile men are beginning thoroughly to. understand this, and the variety and. ingenuity of the means whereby tbe public is made acquainted with the wares of tbe world, and their whereabouts, is a study in itself. The majority of these methods are of very late origin, and bave sprung from tbe competition in every line of business, stimulating traders to the exer cise of every expedient in order to woo tbe cus tom to their counters. BRAZIL, NOT SO GOOD It appears ft om late atarementa ' cooctrnio j the government of Brazil that it would sot bt so good a place for southerners to emigrate to as many of our peoplo supposed. - Th Emperor t is both a gentleman and scholar, but bit eabi- I net and ministry is chiefly composed of negroes. The Judges that preside in the Courts are fre- ! quently negroes, and before them- white men f would have to appear in civil or criminal suit. These facts, probably, are known to bat few,. if any, of those who contemplate emicratioir to t M j .t - ft xirazu, in cooscqu;noa oi ineir auaeomeni to the institution of slavery. While it is true tbat African slavery is a law of Brazil' there are causes now at work that will,- no doubt, accom plish the downfall of thai institution. The Emperor himself is in favor of emancipation. " When these, facts are known, there "will be,, t we -opine, an end. to southern scheme of emU t gration to iirazil. instead of white emigrants to Brazil, there should be a strong tide of negro emigration to tbat con d try. The climate cer tainly suits the negro, and the political and so cial advantages would place them in a position to show their capacity for self government. m . '- ii m - The Condition of Fbeedmen in North Carolina. An interesting report baa been made as to the . number and condition of the frcedmen in the sub districts of Greensboro', Salisbury, and Charlotte, North Carolina. It represents tbat at Hillsboro' there are 77 color ed persons receiving rations from the Govern ment. Greensboro' is the Headquarters for the bureau for five counties of the Stato, and on tba 18th instv the date of the report, there wcr '320 persons receiving rations. Fifty-fire of these are in Government buildings, and 20ft are scattered through the .town and ndjoinicg counties. There are over thirty ' buildings of various sizes in possession of the Government at Greensboro', formerly owned by tbo Confederate Government. "' There are in camp at Salisbury 107 freed men, 62 of whom are receiving rations. Here ' the Government has seven buildioge, and the -colored population of tbo town ia from thrco to four thousand. At Charlotte there are 292 fretdmen in camp, nearly all of whom are receiving support fron the Government. The camp ct this place con sists of pocrly constructed huts of fough shin gles, and out of the large number of people in , camp only 08 belong to the district, the balance being principally from Virginia, Georgia, aod South Carolina. Since June last, 1028 negroes have been seot from this place tu their bomes, or where they might earn a livelihoodt ' - Every frecdmenV camp in North Carolina has beeu inspected by the medical officer in cbargo and if better buildings aro not provided there will be much suffering this . winter, aa It will be itupopsiHe. for tbo people to live in tba old, worn-out tents they now have.
