Prof. Maury Advances sonic netv Theo ries Concerning the Ocean Wonder— J he most Northerly Parhov in the World never closed by Be. From the Kew York Trilmne, Feb. 11. Tlie announcement that Prof. T B. Maury tvould lecture on the “Gulf Stream,” before tne Polyteclinic Brauch of the American Instiiute, Ettractod a large audience at their rooms in the Coop er Institute last night. After tlie usual reading of scientific items hy I’rrf. Til- man, the Bjieaker of the evening was in troduced. Vv ill) tlie aid pf .several larg.- chart.? and maps, he traced iL'e equatorial C'Jirent of the Atlantic tr.ani the Western coast 'f Africa, and shelved Imw it form ed the great tommerciai liigi.npy knon-n as the Gulf fst I t (till, clirrtmty lit: claimed, is more than 1,(100 times larger in volume than the ilississippi river. It move.? asroes the Atlantic on the track of a great circle of the l arHi. Combating the prevailing notion tliat ihe shures and banks of Newfoundland defiect tlie cur rent from its natural and tioimal path, ev idence was brought to siioiv tin'll it mov ed in obedience to the diurnal rotation of the globe on the one baud, and, on the other, tliat, being of a different specific gravity from the waters of the Polar Sea, it seeks to find an equilibrium by chang ing places with tliem. Tlie new positions were advanced by the lecturer as to tliis mysterious flow of the ocean. He denied that the usual e.istcrly curve of the Gulf Stream (.as the maps give it), by which it is made to sweep toivard the Azores and around to the .shores ot Africa, have any existence. There is a current—an olTshoot, apparent ly—recurring in this direction, but it is a mere drift. I’his, he explained, i.s caused by the “brave west M’iiuls.” or more pro perly, southwc.st wind)!, which he said, “everywlierc on the globe, north of the Tropic of Cancer, are tlie same.” The true Gulf Stream, however, liows on in a mighty and resistless course. Even as far north as Hamraerfest, in Norway, the most northerly town in the world, it makes its genial and balmy iiiffuence felt. In 1831 the harbor of St. John.?, New foundland, 1,800 miles south of Hammcr- fest, had been frozen up as late as the month of June. But tlit' harbor of Ham- merfest has never been known to be clos ed by ice, even in mid-winter. Mr. Maury advanced liie idea also, that the Gulf Stream is much more, than its name purports. It is not a mere stream from the Gulf of Mexico, but a volume nearly as large as the great equatorial current itselfi, Though the stream, as it comes through the uairows of Florida, is a thousand times as laigeas the “Fathers of Waters’’ at New Orleans, it is after ward reinforced by an immense shaving of the main equatorial current known as the Northwest Branch. This body of wa ter being of the same or nearly the same temperature a:ui gravity as the Gulf Stream proper, readily unites with it after the latter has passed the Baham.as. The lecturer then read a letter from Capt. Si las Brent (the co workers of Commodore Perry in l.ia tiapan txpeditiou(, whom he had consulted on the views he entertained, and who, in a clear and concise state ment, indorsed his reasoning. It this be true, the lecturer said, the views now entertained by geographers of ihe fliniatie power of the Gulf Stream must undergo a serious revision, if not a decided revolution. B would no longer be regarded as the comparatively small issue through the Naricws of Bernini, but a stream more than duuhlc as large, and one which was fully equal to the office- claimed for it, of penetrating the regions of the extreme north, and breaking through the massive ice-walls which SHr.ound and guard the avenues to the Pole itself. The “blue” color and “phosphorescent” fea tures of the Gulf Stream were described and explained. Prof. Maury compared the Gulf Stream to the Milky Way, hc- rauso its warm water at night wag made by the myriad insects to glow and spar kle like a eea of fire. general THOMAS. This officer, so prominent in the late civil strife, is dead and buried, and his fame rapidly on the way to be so much forgotten that his name will be rarely heard. Such is the way of the world.— We do not reproduce that name for the purpose of saying anything off'ensive to the memory of him that bore it, but to say a few' unimpassioned and just words which his death suggeets. We r«-trre.t that his death should have been selected as the nfme for reproducing statements in- t aided to reflect upon his cliaractt r as a man of true loyalty to the nobler feelings of our nature. We wish that oue or two, at least, of our Southern cotemporaries had abstained from impeachment of the dead hero. He is charged with having at the be ginning of the war hesitated as to which side he should enlist with. ITis charge is, on the other hand, denied. For our selves, we should think the better of Gen eral Ihomas’ character were we assured that when the war came on there was a conflict, and a powerful conflict, in bis mind between his natural attainmeuts and his sense of daty. The heart that does not love his native land is a heart of stone ; and it is honorable to the soldier who, im pelled by a sense of duty to separate from his own people, pauses a while to investigate the motives and reasons of his own soul and to shed the tear of sorrow at the gad fate which compels him to de cide between the promptings of nature and what he considers duty. Our Government so unique—in theory so beautiful—bore in its bosom a distuib- ing question, which there lodged like the crab in the oyster, ultimately to de.stroy its peace. The Federal and the States Eights parties grew' out of this question, wh’eh our ancestors who framed the Con stitution left unsettled. Both parties were actuated by motives equally patriotic,and lilt.? question was rendered a terribly prac tical one by the war. Vv e never could reproach an honest man, who, honestly t.aking the Federal side, adiiercil to tho Federal Government in the hour of collision and bloodshed.— (){ course Loth tides, while hastilities prevailed, were obliged to estublish regu lations for the preservation of ilicir au thority aud very existence which compell ed the citizen to siijiport the Government laiuli liu:il\cd. rejrulatione were ciilorcecl with occasional harbiuiess at the South, but with far greater rigor at the North But such was the delicacy of the question presented—so novel the con flict in the minds of those who struggled between natural instinct and settled po litical sentiments —that even brothers might differ honestly, and we nevei found it in our heart to hate a Virgini.rn w ho. otherwise worthy of respect, sided w iih the National Government. So we should think the more of the \ irginitt Gener.al who fought against the side his State was with for having hesita ted between the sentiment of love aud his sense of duty. President Lincoln, who was a true man,—a man of natural feelings and im pulses—understood this matter well.— When Miged early in the war to make Thomas a m.ijor-general he said : “He is a ^ irginian ; he can aflnrd to wait.” And why ? Because, if 'j’homas were a true man, he would rather jneferment came not very promptly, because it iniglic look like a bribe—a reward for deserting his mother State ; and if he w-ere not a true man he would he unworthy of promotion and of trust. Lincc.In, without greatness, showed a rental kable sagacity anti promptness of decipion, which looked as much like instinct as wisdom ; and the feelings of nature were strongly reflected in his better judgmentg. It would have been a hapjiy day for this laud had these nevt'r been overruled. General J’horaas, therefore, we never denounced w bile alive, and could not censure after death. We resju-cted his motives and appreciated his great ability. He was perlmpsall in all the ablest Gen eral of the Federal army. He was not so accomplished as McClelhin, he had not so much genius as Sherman, hut for sagacity, energy, aud undying courage in action, he had 110 superior. Sheridan, who made more of reputation out of less capital than any (general of the war, should not be meniioued on the same day with him. 'I’liomas was a man of well- balanced mind dignity of character. He kept out of the arena of j.oiitics, aud did not degrade his military authority for the purpose of his political promotion. 'I’hal is a great honor to liis mime when so ma ny of his brother officers turned f.uiatics or scurvy politicions, oppressing the South •from vindictiveness or selfi.shness. Therefore we respect his memory with out entertaining for it a warmer senti ment. 'Phis we are sure is tlie fceliii'r of the Southern people. We object to the defamation of his character ; but it is no more icnnmbent upon us to honor his memory than it is upon our Nortlieni friends to do homage to the memory ot Albert Sydney Johnston.—liichmond Pisputch. iMPORT.Axr 10 Histillers.—Com missioner lIelai*o has issued a circular re quiring that every 'listiller sliall, on the til SI dav of May of each year, make aiid execute a bond in the form prescribed by the commissioner of internal revenue,witli at least two sureties, and shall file his notice of his intention to continue Luei- ness, with the asse-ssor of h:s dnstrict, on form 27. Distillers sliould unJerstatid that with the last day of April their rights as dis tillers ce.ase, and those intending to then discontinue distilling must so arrange as to terminate all werk on the last day of A.pril, and not have beer on hand to he distilled on the first day of Mtay. Distil lers intending to discontinue business, should, on the 30th day of April, regigter their stills as not in u.se. A distiller de siring to contiaue his business can only do so legally by giving his notice and ex ecuting his bond on the first day of May. Such distiller should have his bond com plete and ready for ext-tuiiou wUR u-s 00- I tice prepared aftd presented to the asses- I sor a sufficient length of time in advance I of the first day of May to enable him to j make the uece.?sary investigations Ly ■ that day. i If a distiller who cease.? to pay special [ tax, as such, shall have spirits on hand, j he can only make sale of ihe sume by : paying the special tax as a wholeeale I liquor dealer, unless prior to such sales j he gives and p,ayg tax as distiller.—Ex change.

Mr. Lincoln said to Judge Ctimpbell ; “Geiienil Weitzel informs me that you have been particularly desirous of sec-ing me ?” “I have remained in Richmond,” re plied the Judge, “mainly for the purpose of exerting what influence I could to bring 1 this war to an end. I believe tliat,if vour i views as to the terms upon which peace I can be had were made clear to the South- 1 ern people, an adjustment of all our diffi culties could be (-ffected and the war ond- 1 ed.” j “Are you authorized to speak for Mr. j Davis or the .^outlicrii people/” atkod ! Mr. Lincoln.* “1 have no anthorit}' to speak fur any one but, luj-aelf, amt ajjpear bore -wliolTv in my individual character,” was ihe re- , ply- j “Have you any propositions to make ?" j “Not formally, I have thought of the difficulties of the present situation a great deal, and have considered several plans j that seemed fca.sihlc, for effecting a recon- J ciliation. I think 1 understand the des- I peration of the Southern cause. I am not ‘ prepared to say that the Confederacy can hold out longer, nor yet am I willing to admit that it must now necessarily col lapse. But I think I may say that, in view of the reverses it has recently met with, an appeal to the armies, made in the right spirit aud under auspicious circum stances, would be most influential for good, j You will remember, Mr. President, that at I the Hampton Roads conference I sugges- 1 ted and urged a truce or armistice for a j specilied time. That suggestion was not I accepted. T.f you will allow me^I would I urge it again uow. If a truce could now j be proclaimed for six months or a year, I the armies be withdraw n and permitted I temporarily to disband and return to their h.5mes, and the inhabitants of the two sec- i lions of the country allowed to vi.sit and i commuiiictUe with each other, and inter change sentiments, 1 believe it would vir- : tnally he the end of the war. 'J’he South- ern army, 1 am satisfied, could never again I be assembled. The men are sick of the , war disheartened with defeats, worn down ^ with hunger aiid privations, and anxious I to get out of the army to better their con- I dition. Once out they would never re- . turn, provided any reasonable induce ments were offered them to remain out. I am persuaded, sir, that the most gratify ing results w'ould flow from such a truce.” Mr. Lincoln heard the Judge thiaiugh without intcrrnptioii, though listening at tentively and laspectlLilly to all he said. \\ heu he had concluded, the J’resident I simply said, “Il.ave you any other pro position to make ]" i “I have anotlier suggestif)!!,’’he replied “It relates maiiily to Virginia and her quota in the .Southern army. It has oc curred to me that, even should my first suggestion he unaccejitahle, something may yet be done through individual State acitoii. '1 he \ irginia troops were enlist- I ed only fur the defence of \’irginia. ’Tliey are not satisfied with being marched out ; of the State ; but there is no .authority at present that they can recognize to call ^ them back. If the gentlemen composing the \ irginia Legislature could be assem bled, I have no doubt they w ould prompt ly pass an act recalling their quota from the Confederate armies. T his authority • the \ irginia troops would recognize, ami, if then |jK>t diccliarged at once,.they would desert and come luime. ’1 in; Legislature 5vould, I think, al.?o ri peal the act of Se- j cession, and put the tjtate back in the , L'nion. It would be eqninetitlv fining i that the sume aullnrity tliat jmt the State out of the L tiioii si ould put it hack. fSuch a course would avoid niaiiv legal compli cations that ii.ii.?t elsewise ensue, and !■(■- tain unbroken the succe.?sion of the gov- j eriimeiit. I may add, .Mr. President, that to avoid any embarrassment that might arise from the seiui-recogni ion of the ex- isii-ig government of this Stut-, implied ill tlie IK n.iissiou to it? Legislature to as semble and carry otit thesf- specific ohje- fa, 1 the members might obligate themselves to ^ resigu as soon as these objects are effect* i ed, and give place to a new body, to be elected under the United States fi.ag.” ‘‘Are there any other Southern gentle men of iiiflucuce now in the city ?” asked the President. “I don’t think there are any of promi nence throughout the C'onfedcracy now here,” replied the Judge. The next day the Judge, in company with Gusiavus A. Myers, visited the President, who was on the steamer ^lal- •r«TO, lyt.ig at R«ckelt9. Mr. Lin.- coln concluded this interview by sayTng : “I have been considering the quest-ion of permitting the Legislature of \ irgitiia to assemble as you suggested yesterday. I deem it exceediiigly appropri.ate and desi rable that the same power that attempted to take the State out of the Union, should put it back. If I can work the matter out satisfactorily to iny mind, I w ill let you know.” He next wrote to Genera! \\ etzcl to protect the Uegishuiire, if it should meet, until it did something hostile to the government. On going to Washington, however, he found his C'ahinet opposed to his mode of reconstruction, and he sent a telegram to Gen. Wetzel, which closed as follows : “Do not allow them to assemble, hut if any have come, allow' them safe return to their homes.” RI.'t^ING IN T’HE WORLD. Ton should bear constantly in mind that nine-teuths ot us are, from the very nature and necessities of the world, horu to c.arii our livelihood by the the sweat of the brow. hat reason have we tlu n to presume that our children are not to do the same ? If they be—as now and then one will ht*—endowed with extraordinary powers of mind, those powers mav have tin opportunity ot developing themselves ; and, it they never have th.at opportunity the harm is not very great to tie or them. Nor does it hence follow that the descen dants of laborers arc always to he labor- I he path upwards is steep and long ers. to be sure. Industry, care, skill, excef- leiice til the present p.arent hay the foun dation of a rise Hiider more favviahh* c;r- curas'ancps lor tiie children. Tiic chil dren of these take another ti.se ; and bv- the-by the dosceiulanls of the i're.?ent I'a- 1 borer becomes independent. This is tho j naimul progreea. It is Ly aUtmpiine to j reacli ilie top at aBiugluleap that so muc\i uiiseiy Ks produced in (he world ; and tho propensity to make such an attempt Jia.s been cherished and encouraged by the strange projects tJiat we have witins.?od of late teats for making the laborer.? virt uous and happy by giving H.eni what i.s called education. 'I’he education I ?peak of consists in bringing up children to la- Dor with Bteadinet?8, with care and with skill ; to show them hotv to do do as ma ny useful things as possible, to teach them how to do all in the best manner ; to set them an example of industry, so briety, cleanliness and neatness ; to make all these habitual to them, so th.at they shall never he liable to fall into the con trary ; to let them always see a good liv ing proceeding from labor, and thus to re move from them the temptation to get at the goods of others by violent or fraudii- ^ lent means, and to keep far from their I tninds all the iiiduceinetits to hypocrisy .and deceit.

It was fair ly inimitable. 1 wondered how, in her circumstances of life, she c.'iuld have ac quired so elegant a style.
