There is more glory .in saving humanlife than in destrovintr it. and we predict that ex .. - -r . he will bo as successful in forcing a surrender of Yorktowh, as he was in pursuing a policy that .finally com pelled the rebels to evacuato Manas sas, and give it to our hands without a bloody struggle Gen.

But then carnage like that at Pitts burg Landing, does notseem to satisfy theso blood and thunder sensation or ators. They are carping' at Gen. Grant for doincr what thev are eenfitiriiifir Gen. .4 . O W , O ilcClellan for not doing, llicse news papers would do well to confine them selves to their legitimate business of journalizing and let the men of war carry out their well matured plans.

' .-: Pristers. By the way, says a writer in the Philadelphia Pretty it is right for printers to know that for a while until a recent period, ac tors Nrere legally designated vagabonds " in Enirland. A statute passed ia the reign of Queen Arthe; distinctly declares- that prinlers,' like attorneys; are gentlemen. Th distinction arose in thiswise: When swords formed a part of genteel attire, they were worn by many who neither by birth, education nor calling, were entitled to be considered gentlemen.- To place the matter out of dispute, an act of Par liament was passed, in which was set forth the various classes authorized to wear swords or rapiers, as a part of their costumes, and in this statute printers are expressly named as entitled to what at that period was considered a privi lege. The word "printer," in Queen Annie's time, meaut the compositor, who out of a chaos of type, pot men's thoughts into the form which preserves them, if worthy, for the futnre as the present. 1 ' ' 53" Fanny Fern has said some good things in her way,, but she never made a better hit or spoke truer than when she perpetrated the fol lowing: " It is just as sensible to get-married without courting as to attempt to succeed in lvinc8$ without advertising." How are the public to' know what you have to dispose of unless you make it known through the medium of the press. A gentleman whose mind had been brought to bear upon this subject by reading an article on the subject of advertising, concluded to make an examination of the mat ter, and taking up a paper examined the adver tisements, made a list of those merchants who had advertised, and then made a tour of the streets where they were located, and his expe rience was that those houses which advertised freely and liberally were crowded with custom ers, while equally as attractive looking stores next door te them were doing but little, and some of them no business. That which is true of the city is equally so of the country merchant. r ISsT William Lingham, jr., editor of the Army and ' Kavy Journal, Boston, published twice a mouth for fifty cents a year please accept our' gratitude for your thought fulness, and imagine ourselves, head uncovered, body inclined forward at an angle of 45, and hand extended across the table. Good boy, Wil liam ! ' We'll remember you when disposing of our vast landed property. Give us your flipper. Tho death of Hon. Theodore Frclmghuystn is announced. Mr. Frelinghuysen was distin guished as the Whig candidate for the vice presidency, on the ticket with Henry Clay, in 1344, and was widely known and esteemed in the religious world for his active interest in the great religious and philanthropic move ments of the day. Afraid or tbeir own Weapokl. It is a noticeable circumstance' that the rebel leaders are now making prodigious efforts to disarm all their own citizens, by a compulsory calling in of all their firearms. Though the blind put forth is, that the measure is prompted by the scarcity of arms, and it is given out that they will be paid 'for (in Confederate scrip), it is very evdient that it springs from a determina tion to render the people as helpless as possi ble for the purpose of preventing them from originating counter-revulsions. The Richmond usurpers, while stoutly denying abroad the existence of a spark of Unionism, eith r latent or patent, nevertheless take good care to act .at home on the very sound theory that a very deadly hostility to them is rapidly developing, and that the safe plan is to render this hostility as inoperative as they can.

At f five o'clock in the morning General Porter took his place in Pro; feasor Lowe's ba!iOoiwHeif supposed .he usual number of ropes were attached to it, trbereas there was' only one, and a place in this, as was afterwards ascertained, had been burned, by vitrei, used in generating gas Taking his seat in the car. unaccompanied by any one, the rope was let out to nearly its full length the length la about nine -hundred yaids--whcn suddenly snap went the cord end up went ihe balloon. This was an un expected part of the piogramme. The men below looked up with astonishment, and the General looked down with equal, bewilder ment.. ' -: I .: "Open the valve," shouted one of the men ril manage it, responded the General.- -Up went the balloon, higher, higher. Ii roe with great rapidity ; its huge.furu lessen td a il wildly inou.ted into he regions of the upper air; and it became a peck in the iky. The wiid was taking it in the direction ofthe en-mys territory. By this time every -staff officer and hundreds of o hers were looking a the moving uptck. It is impossible todescnle the anxiety felt and expressed for the fate f him. ahe central object of thought in that far away moving ptck, every moment becoming F' .u r fi r L hri.hwr" Houatonic Railroad, has been appoint- J Tt 1 Z 2dgs22f " Superintendent of the Quincy aod!rojedo with hope.

The rest of the story is as I received it fromthe General's own lips. While the rope was being, played out be adjusted bis glans in readiness for his proposed view of the enemy's territory. A sudden bound of the- balloon ti ld him in a moment that the rope had given way. He dropped his glass, hrd the call "Open the valve," made the reipons given above, and set about looking fur the valve He was sensible of beiog fl ghty (the General loves a pun as well as the next one), but as not at all nervous. He saw the wind had taken him over the line of the rebel intrenchments Having no wish to drop in among them he let the valve take care of itself, and proceeded to take advantage of his position to note the aspect oi reoei otyecw ueiow. vrowu-'JuM occupy the town, and then he could ahip soldiera rushed trom the woods, and he heard .. vr.. w their shouts distinctly. Luckily.be wa above the reach of their bullets, s he wasuot afraid on this score. The map of the country was distinctly discernable. He saw Yorkton and ils works, York river and its windings, Norfork-and its smoking chimneys. AN coun ter current of air struck the balloon, and iis course was reversed. Its retreat from over rebuldom was rapid. He opened the valve, the gas escaped, and ' down he came. He could not say how fast he came down, but it was with a rapidit' he would not care to have repeated. The car struck the top ot a shelter tent under which, luckily, no one happened to be at the time knocked the tent into pi, arid left him enveloped in a mass of collapsed oil silk.

He save there is a deep rooted affection there fhrtlCe IJnion and not a little animosity foV itff enemies, the latter elements not being ,dtmin ished by the importation of troops for dis-, tant Slate. The people had burned w bat re mained of confederate property, including a launched gunboat. The woods and swamps in this and Hvde Co. are represented as alive with refugees from the draft. Many of them, encouraei d by our presence, came . in. They are dei n and bitter in their denunciations of the secession h resy, and 'promise a regiment, if called, te aid in the preservation of tb Union. . We copy the following from the 21k ton Md., Whig: The peach crop of this county gives promise of being an abundant one. if the recent snow surra has not injured the buds. The farmers in the lower part of the county appear to be turning their atlention more and more every season to the cultivation ot this luscious fruit. Tens of thousands of peach trees have been planted out the present spring. The peach is cultivated by our farmers in this section of the country as a staple crop, and proves one of the most produc s of the soil, a single peach grower often realizing in a season from his crop many thousands of dollars. Death or a well knows Cincinnati:?. Wm. Kissane, who, it will be remembered, wa implicated in the burning of the steamer Martha Washington, at this point, some five years since, was killed in the desperate battle at Fort -Craig.

Upon the, opening of the rebellion he entered the rebel army with the rank of Major, and met his death m battle. Oin. Oat.' Presentation. The Rev. J. W.

A citizen of Nashrille was arrested in Hunts ville, A!a., last week under peculiar circum stances.
