Intemperance in the AuiAy.—The Richmond
Dispatch justly remarks “The crime of intern
poracca ia a militvy or naval officer, ought to
be punished b ? tfao severest penalties of military
law. It is only second in enormity to nfVitiny or
desertion. The private whii o'eserts, no matter
though he be enticed trom his duty by the inno
cent yearnings of his heart for home, is punished
with death, and a'imen pronounce the sentence
just. What does the (Dicer deserve who, led
astray not by a virtuous impulse, but by a low
fnd degrading appetite, imperils for his sensual
gratification the lives of thousands, deranges the
plans of his superiors, and places at hazard the
liberty of his country? NV punishment can be
too great for suoh an offender. The demoralizing
effects oi'bis example,'even if no other evil effects
followed his conduct, demand of themselves that
he should, bo displaced from j bis position and put
in the ranks, or bo ignominitfusly dismissed from
the r.rmy.
The Good Old Days ltKphva.—According io
a ccHrespondeat of the iSmiihern Recorder, the
Legislature of this State at its last session, while
hastily tamperimg with the Code, uniatemional
iy repealed tho law inaking'a marriage license a
sine qua non where “two soiils with but a single
thought,” are about to embank in a matrimonial
experiment. If this bo so. says.the Atlanta Reg
ister, the young (aud the old) people of the State
are at liberty to go back to tha primitive cere
mony ot *j .taping thebrpuiu." Had not the
Governor better call a small;,,extra session of the
Legislature and have the thing looked into ?
Mysterious Abduction of a Young JL,a
dy-AR'jlgn of Terror in illinols.
The Springfield (111.) Journal gives the
following particulars of a singular affair :
A private letter from A lady at itichview,
Washington county, in tins State, gives the
particulars oi a most thyuterious outrage
« Li--fii wan oerneirated |at the residence of
Sir M A Linton, residing about four miles
from Rich view, on the night of the sth
instant.
The writer says that a party of thirteen
men, disguised by handkerchiefs tied over
the lower part of their faces, and armed
with navy revolvers, presented themselves
at Mr Linton’s house about half past two
o’clock at night and demanded admittance.
When refused, they ‘threatened to break
down the door. The Spokesman of the
party was recognized ias a man who had
taken supper at Mr Linton’s the same eve
ning, under pretence oljhaving lost his way
so Hayleton, the next town.
When admitted, the party demanded
Ginevra, a daughter of Mr Linton by a for
mer marriage, a beautiful and amiable girl
of 16 years of age, who had just returned
home from a boarding feehool in Ohio. She
having just run down stairs to gee what
was the matter, was seized by three ruffians
and told that she must go with them, dead
or alive.
Her , f a|lier was totally unarmed and
powerless to defend her. The girl was
dragged to her rooro, arid alter having been
allowed to dress horse if, was forcibly car
ried to a buggy and driven o(F, Aa she
was borne out at the door, she turned ti»
ward i-er huher, raised! her baifds and ex*
cl limed, *‘Ori. God.”
A party of-. :_,ht men) were left to guard
the house t;li day light, tjo prevent any alatm
being given. During lhe night they paced
around the house, knocking at the door
looking in at the window, rattling the glass
and taunting the wretched iumaies by ask
ing how they iiked evening calls, etc.
No clue lias been objtained to the abduc
tors, or to the course taken by them. aU
though a stranger whom Mr Linton met at
a store in Ricbview the same day issus*
peeled to have been one of them Another
statement is to the effect that a woman who
h i-i been prowling around the neighborhood
t -r softie tune past was one of the abducting
party. /'
Air Linton is a quaver by piofession, and
if was well known that he was unarmed.
For gome time*past « perfect reisrn of (er
ror has prevailed in the region above re
ferred to. It was w|thin a tew mile# of the
wm- neighborhood
ber of robberies wnjt; perpetriite.il recently
of which we gave ecjme account a couple

the following description of this partisan chief:
He is about-tA-enty oua years 01 age. about
A f«ot k>gh, of elenJer form, straight
as an arrow, and active is a panther; his long
dark brown ha’r hanging in wild ends about
shoulders; hi 1 complexion is fair; h-s eyes are cf
fa dark hi) 2c-t color, wild and restless and pier
cing as the poi-.it of a cLygcr; he wears a suit
oi plaiu. grey cloth, wi’b a scarlet s lksash round
is waist, a six shooter on his right side, and a
sabre on his left; he wears a pair of cavalry
boots that come above the kuee, and large Tex
as spurs; his bat is black, low crowned and
broad brimmed, one fide fastened up with a sil
ver star, which holds a long block plume. His
men are armed with two revolvers and a double
barrelled rhot gun ench, and mounted tin ilcot
horses. Campbell baa already gained a great
reputation, and, if the war continues another
year, his reputation as a partisan chieftain will
outshine the reputation ot those illustrious he
toes of the old revolution, Marion and Sumter.

The Augusta Chronicle collates
owing historical facts about war;
The Roman Legion consisted of about
8,000 men. A consular army was about
two Legions, or about 12,000 men. The
number was sometimes increased by their
allies and slaves to 20,000. With this
force they conquered the world. A French
corps- d'arme composes about 20,000 men,
and yet Napoleon was in the habit of say*
ing, that he could not find even a Marshal
who eould handle that number. No officer,
in this country, has ever fought a battle
with as many as 200,000 men under his
command.
The fact is, these half million armies
are usually the victims,if not of the cannon,
of pestilence, iarnine and mutiny. Organi
zation—“the right man in the right place”
at the right time, and properly equipped.
Organization is the soul, the life and the
strength of an army, and it is a thing that
money, “the sinews of war,” cannot buy at
once on large scale, it is not in the mar«
ket, Time, brain and skill are necessary
to create it. Le; us see if the facts of his
tory do not sustain us in these views :
The Athenians with 10.000 men defeated
a Persian army of 30,000 at Marathon, and
with not more than three limes ihat num
ber won the battles of Platea and Salamis,
and drove five millions of invaders Irom
their soil.
Alexander overrun Asia with one*third
the number of the forces that opposed him.
When the Swiss Cantons determined to
strike lor their independence, with 500 men
they defeated 20,000 Austrians, under the
Arch Duke of Austria, at Morgarten. Wnh
an equally disproportiouaie force they
fought sixty pitched battles and maintained
their independence.
When Edward of England invaded
Scotland, with 100,000 men, he was met
and deieated at Bannockburn by Bruce at
the head of 30,000 half armed Highlanders.
In A. D. 1500, Maximiilian of Germany,
Louis Xll of France, Ferdinand of Spain,
and Pope Julius, 11, formed the infamous
league of Cambray, tor the destruction of
Venice. With heroic resoive, Venice took
the field against the poweriul combination.
Superior force might, in the end, have
overpowered her, but Providence is ever on
the side of the right! Discord and discus*
sioa broke out among the Confederates,
their armies were defeated and Venice was
preserved.
The little city of Leyden in 1573 with
stood the whole power of Spain, at the
time the most warlike nation in Europe.
The Prince ol Orange at the head of sev
eral small Provinces of Holland, not one of
them larger than a Virginia couaty, main
tained their independence against the most
powerful monarch in Europe, and defeated
armies that were ofien three times as nu
merous as his own, and commanded by
John of Austria and Alexander Fames, the
greatest military ieaders of the age.
English MetHuU of curing Beef or
Pork.
For the benefit of those who are salting
beef for the use of their families, wo pub*-
lish the fallowing on the subject;
For one hundred anil twelve pounds (one
cwt.) of beet or pork, take ten pounds of
common salt and one half pound of saltpe*
tre. Let the meat be well cleansed from
those particles of blood which will hang
about it when cut into pieces of about four
or five pounds each; this is best done by
washing it in salt and water, or any weak
offal pickle, provided it be sweet. Lay the
meat in rows, and rub the upper side mod
erately with salt, then lay another layer of
meat,and repeat the operation as on the
first layer; in this manner continue the
same proportion of salt and saltpetre, till
you have the quantity you wish to cure all
heaped up in a tub, or some other, vessel
(not of iead) in order to preserve the pick
le from issuing from it. fn this state it
must remain three days, then turn it into
•another tub, sprinkling it with sait as you
turn it; when ail is turned, let the pickle
procured by the first rubbing be gently
poured about the meat. In this state let
it remain for a week, and it will be excel
lent for home use.
Should it be wanted for exportation, pack
it in this state into such casks as your or
ders may express. But as the greatest care
(or its keeping good, abroad, consist in the
packing, you must put a layer of sait in 'he
barrel, then a layer of meat, packed very
close (with your hands only,) and in this
manner the cask must be fitted tsp. When
headed, you must carefully filter the pickle
through a coarse cloth, (not boi! it.) and
when perfectly fine, fill up the cask by tbe
bung-hole. In this state let it remain until
the next day, in order to observe whether
or not the cask leaks, then bung it up.—
By this method, I have never known an
instance ot its failing to cure properiy.—
My mother used the former part of it so
family nee, and it always kept any reasona r
ble time. The too great rubbing of meat,
will not keep it the better; it frequently re
tards the operation of sait by filling the
outward pores of the meat, only to the de
struction of the middle of the'piece, which
frequently perishes.

The Telegraphic Operators.
As matter of interest to that useful and in
telligent class of the community at largo, the
telegraphic operators, we print following
communication from a member of the new Tele
graphic Association in Augusta to
ton Courier:
Asa member of a class who have made ex
tensive and frequent contributions to your ool
umns/and who have been and will be happy to
render tbe press all the service in their power,
allow me first, spare lor a word in behalf, and
second, to ask tbe countenance and furtherance,
of the press in favor of the “Southern Tele
graphic Association” recently organized at Au«
gusta, Ga.
“Their object is the inaiatainance of fair re
muneration lor services rendered ; the encour
agement of the telegraphic fraternity ; the relief
and protection of members 5 and to use every
means which may tend to the elevation of the
profession in tho social scale of life.”
A desiro to place themselves upon a proper
footing, morally, socially and pecuniary, is tho
origin of the Association, and what can be wor
thier motives ? I will quote another paragraph
from the President’s printed address to the
operators, from which I have already quoted:
“There is no agency known to society that so
fully challenges tho eouliienco of man. It Is
entrusted with ones secrets and employed
in the furtherance of every one? concerns, no,
mailer whether public ot ptivafe, trivial or mo
mentuous. Operators, thereforo, should be good
and truomeo, and such only, it wdlba seen by
the provisions of our Constitution, we endeavor
to bring into and sustain in our service, regard
ing intelligence, education and moral worth as
indispehsable qualifications for tho position of all
operators.”
In this quotation marked stress is laid upon
threo poims, and ino imperativeness of the Con
stitutiou upon these points will ensure its fulfill
ment.
Tho organization of the society has been fuliy
and carefully perfected, due regard to the rights
of employers, employees aud ail interested paw*-
ties having boon fahhtuliy considered. A clause
from tho preamble of the Conpti ation will em
body tho matter.,
“Resolved, That it is not the intention ofthh>
Association to do anything or take any action
which will in the lease militate against the in
terests of the Government, but merely to correct,
if possible, the many abuses to which, as a pro
iescoon, we have been compelled heretofore to
submit, in consequence of having no regularly
organized body to which wo could appeal, and
while we feel we owe out services to the Govern
ment, and will at ail times hold ourselves in
readiness to pertorm such services, yet we are
satisfied that in other matters touohing the work
ing policy of Telegraph Companies, we have a
right to act freely and independently, and only
ask that tnese rights and privoleges be re
peated.”
In what I have said may bo found the origin,
object, and line of action of tho Association.
As being composed of a body qf men gener
ally ackuowiegod to be of intelligence, education
and refinement, the Society is entitled to and re
spectfully aeks the good wishes and cheerful
aid,of the Government, the press and the public.
To ail of you we will pledge ourseives to lack
iu no endeavor to merit the iavor you may show
us.

Public Debt of the United States*
As the opinion is semi-officially proniul*
gated and reiterated that tho esiimates of
the budget for i he next fiscal year will bo
$1,200,000,000, (those lor tut* Navy De
partment alone being about $160,U00,000,)
we can approximate the total Government
expendituies irom the beginning of the war
to the end 01 toe fiscal year 1805 For ifie
several Beamons they are as iuilowb for the
definite oojects: For extra session ot 1861,
$894,900,000; tor regular session of 1862-3
$973,120,000; iota!, $2,133,170,006; aad lor
estimates for the next fiscal year, $1,200,-
000,000, total, $3,333,170,000.
The above sum is to be augmented con
siderably by what are called indefinite ap
propriations, aud it is subject to reductions
in so as the question of debt
ed, by incomes front revenue ofinternai tax
during the year in question. The latter
may not be more than a stand off to the
former, if as much. It seems that Secretary
Stanton has not fully made up his estimate
or the next fiscal year, so as to appear in
Mr. Chase’s report at the beginning of ihe
session, which fact arises from me present
suspension of military movement**, and, as
a consequence, suspension of opinion as to
what precise amount of men and money will
be needed for the campaign of next year.
As the army advances the expenditure of
tde Government 00 account of the contra
bands augments, aud 11 is ditboult to tell at
this time how much must be appropriated
on that head.
In respect to the present means of the
Treasury, it may be staied, generally, that
the fcJecretury hae authority to issue Gov
ernment paper m one thrm or another for
any wants that will arise, for a considerable
periou after the commencement ot the ses
sion ol Congress.—Washington cor. Bait.
