Obituart Notices.—W« have heretofore given notice, •repeatedly, that we charge for obituary notices of un- ■easonable length, and for resolutions of respect; bo- i xse that kind of reading, we have much occasion to rD 'W, is not often more agreeable to readers than to eJitors of papers. A? it generally happens, however, that after charging and paying postage on the account for warded, we never get paid, we now give notice that we will insert nothing of the sort hereafter unless accom panied by the cash. (Always excepting in the case of deceased volunteers, wliea we require no pay.) Bear in mind, therefore, that we will insert obituary notices ■ind resolutions, not exceeding 70 words, gratis. For all over 70 words, one cent a word, which must be paid be fore the notice will be put in type. STA\DAt i\l! HIISCELLWEOIS WORKS. i BBOTT"^ Hiatorie.e. 28 vols.; Abbott’s Napoleon; A.

Europe had combined on the side of royalty. France was menaced on every side j by their well trained armies, under leaders of re- I putation and experience. Her own people were iivided, her ports blockaded—yet the prepara tions on the part of the French were such as no age or country had ever before witnessed. The capital, and every city in the empire, became at once an arsenal and a workshop for the armies. The Assignats compensated for the want of the precious metals, circulated in the name of the na tion. They exhausted the treasuries of mauy ot ^ the crowned heads of Europe. All Frenchmen, Hoaden, .John Manning Jr.,! by solemn decree, were declared to be at the ser- ! vice of the country, until the invaders were driv- ‘ eu from the soil of F"ranee. The young men i marched to meet the foe—the old men forged ! arms and provided* provi.sions—the women fabri- ' cated tents and clothes, and attond«ii the hospit als—the children made lint to dress the wounds of the patriots. At tho very moment that the idea of a nation’s rising “eu masse” was ridiculed throughout Europe, the Convention, under the direction of Carnot, had created eleven distin«t armies. Now for the result of this unexampled energy and patriotism. The British historian of the time informs us that in seventeen months the I’rench armies gained twenty-seven general battles, had been victorious in one hundred and twenty-seven ac tions, and had taken one hundred and sixteen strong cities and fortified places. These succes ses were obtained over the best disciplined armies in Flurope, elated with their past triumphs over warlike enemies, and commanded by generals of great experience and most dazzling reputation, while the armies jof the Republic consisted of officers and soldiers, few of whom had seen ser vice, and commanded by generals hitherto without renown. Not content with driving every enemy from her soil, the population of the conquered coun tries which France acquired from her enemies, was estimated to amount to thirteen millions of souls. This period of F'rench history affords us an instructive example. They contended for an absurd abstraction—we for a vital reality. Their watchword liberty, fraternity, equality—ours lib erty, regulated by law. They fought and con quered a world in arms, for glory—a single na tion threatens us with subjugation, and our homes and household gods with plunder and pollution. Let us emulate the heroism of the French. Richmond Whig. Will you icalk in, Mr. Flyf—The Y ankee Gen eral, Buell, is reported to have issued a procla mation to the people of Tennessee, premising them all manner of good and gracious things, if they will lay down their arms and submit to be slaves. He does not *use the.se precise words— but talks about allegiance and loyal subjects, &e.* forgiveness for the past and respect for th« fu ture. But the language is intelligible enough. Only remain tjuiet until we Y'ankees can get the fetters upon you—that’s all we ask. Such proffers of grace and bounty are the bit- tei est and most humiliating insults that can be offered to a free people. That there may be some, who, from timidity or sordidness, may accept tlie degrading proffer, is likely enough; but no man who appreciates the precious blessing of free dom, and is worthy of it, will for a moment listen to the vile suggestion. Let it everywhere be met with war, stern, relentless, interminable war. Flxtermination is a thousand times ^)referable to such degradation. ,But if we meet them with becoming spirit, we shall visit the extermination upon them.—Richmond Whig. What sculpture is to a block of marble, educa tion is to a human soul. The philosopher, the saint, and the hero; the wise, the good, or the great o'an, very often lie hid in the plebeian; which a proper education might have disinterred and brought to light.—Spectator.
