His Slav has already bceA/profonged to the detri men ' of engagements further South, and he feels compelled to leave us. Our citizens who have neglected, up to this time, to secure his services, should do so immediately: The following letter from a distin guished citizen of Augusta, Ga., to l’rof. Bernhardt, testifying to his profes sion a! ability, is- centalnlv deserving of more than passing attention : August*, G*., Jan. 4, 1867. I take great pleasure in saying that the glasses I nave obtained from Prof. Bernhardt have given me every satisfac tion.- 1 verily believe them far superior to any I have used before. J. F.

Unless there has been a recent change in the military regulations of that fair isle, hlafjk men do. wear uniforms ir. Cuba. At a public review at Hnvaua, a few years ago, theory ritqr saw, among several thousand troops, a regiment composed entirely pf free negroes. Moreover, while the free negroes of Cuba wore thus allowed to wear uniforms, the white natives of the island were ex' eluded from the army. This is Spanish despotism, and it is not unlike that radi cal policy, which would clothe the black man of the South with suffrage, and deny it to a large portion of the whites. Life is Worship. —We have no sympathy with the spirit of asceticism, which separates Religion from all secu lar affairs. We believe that the demands of religion not only relate to devotion and worship, hut require, also, secular morality and civil virtue. The whole life should be devoted to God. To this high idea! religion requires every man to conform. Altars arise, invisible only to the indifferent and sensual, in the quiet home—in the halls of pleasure— in the secret closet of sorrow—in the breathless chamber of death. Our business should he religious. Industry is a duty ; but industry may be of such a sort as to he criminal in the judgment of the high sovereign of all. He requires not only that we should labor in the spirit of love find obedience—with such cheerfulness, fidelity, and energy, as internal motives inspire.' ‘ And why should industry, which only Providence can bless, deny that tribute of prayer to which its bless ings are,pfomised ?. ~ .„ , , And when the harvests of labor are gathered, Religion is still required to dignify their enjoyment. The modera tion it requires will renew’our strength for labor, and the thankfulness it awakens will secure that heavenly ap proval Which assnres us of new rewards. Without its restraints, success becomes excess. Under its direction, each secu lar effort and recompense takes its place in a career of cordial nud loyal obedience. If, ho '-ever, we meet with disaster, it is Religion which assigns a sacred ministry to sorrow. The chastened spirit learns that all its experiences have been ordered by a Divine control ler. and are intended for its highest good. Adversity Upborne with submission to that Sovereign will. The wounded heart is opened to new motives to improve ment, and humility, and filial trust, and sends forth new issues of virtue, as the scarred shrubs of Arabia shed frankin cense and balm. And when this various experience of struggle and triumph and defeat shall have come to tin end, w hat hut Religion will sustain the worn man of business' in a dying hour? If practiced in the high duties he owes to another sphere of being, he can cheerfully respond to the summons which calls upon him to resign tho visible for the invisih e, the goods of time for the inexhaustible treasures of eternity. With courage unabated he can spend his latest breath in animating encouragements and sublime consolations to those who watch and weep hv his bedside, lie blunts the shaft of dentil with invulnera ble faith and hope, and he goes forth into the future world, as an explorer into anew regime of activity, whose industry shall perform its tasks upon more fertile fields aud under balmier t^kies. The opinion is false, that Sabbath devotion is all that religion requires. It claims the life. The resolve is uu manly to devote our wasted and de clining years to spiritual activities. There should be a universal consecra tion. This high business presses upon every human being in every class and station. There is no effect that con tributes to the well-being of this life that may not give its rich tribute to the other. There is no honorable pursuit and no innocent experience that may not prepare us, if rightly used, for in effable ministries nud enjoyments be yond the grave. Short Days. — We complain of the shortness of the days at the winter sol stice ; but in most of the great capitals of Europe the hours of daylight are more contracted than with us. At St. Petersburg, for example—a city of more than .100,000 population, and in lafitndo 60—the sun rises at present at a quarter past nine, and sets ut quarter before three. At Archangel, a town of 25,000 population, in latitude 64, the day lasts only from twenty-four minutes past ten to twenty-four minutes before two. At the beginning of the present week clock time und solar time are nearly the same, the sun being on the Meridian at the hour of twelve ; on the 10th of Feb ruary they will be fifteen minutes apart. This variation makes the placing of a permanently correct noon mark an im possibility. ( , . TniTY.PrvE Thousand Dollars Lost ut’ terson, a KewYbMc ituck broker, has brought a suit against Albert M.

Approved December 4, 1866. The Wah in Candia Tf.uuim.r Scene axu Loss of Life.—A letter from Athens to the New York Herald, in relation to the war in Candia, tin g describes the fighting at the Cyiiyeut 'of Arcadioh, heretofore briefly men tiohed : Areadioti is a convent, situated in a strong position in the Department of Retie, rnnos. It was occupied altogether by five hundred and forty persons, three hundred and forty-three of whom were woman and children, leaving one hun dred and ninety seven men capable of bearing arms. Upon the 20th Musta pha Pacha left his headquarters at Episeopi, with twelve thousand men, and advanced*. uppu de manding the surrender of the garrison. The Cretans have refused and the 1 urkish artillery immediately opened a tremedons fire upon the place, keeping up a bombardment two days and nights. A breach being at lasi, effected in the walls, the Turks, who had suffered heavy tßSses, poured into the convent court. This was surrounded with small cells, in which the Christians had barricaded themselves and kept up their fire for six hours. Finding ail resistance ineffec tual, the defenders of the convent formed the desperate resolution of setting fire to the powder magazine. A monk ap plied the match. The explosion was tremendous, hurling Turks and Chris tians into the air, strewing the neighbor, hood with corpses. Two' thousand Turkish sol liers were killed on the spot, and large numbers wounded. Thirty nine men and sixty women and children of the garrison were all that escaped. 1 liese were taken prisoners and carried off to Rethymnos. The wounded Turks are daily being brought into’hospital. Cauea and Souda have received up wards of a thousand, many being offi cers—among them being Mustapha Pacha’s brother-in law. The Turkish army is reported to he much dispirited by this disaster. Important Arrests. —Mr. Mac Lin spy, formerly a member of the North Carolina Legislature, and Mr. Joseph B i.xter, both of Currituck county, were arrested near the Court House in that county on Christinas day by the Federal authorities, for being engaged in the capture and robbing of a vessel during the late war, wheu they were not em ployed in the Confederate army. A man named Moore was arrested some time Hince on the same charge, and is now confined in jail in Elisabeth City, where those prisoners are also td'be sent. The Anderson Prisoners. —We are gratified to learn that the proposed Con, gressional Inquisition into the case of Messrs. Keys, Stowers, and Byrum— who were convicted by a military Com mission in this city of the murder of three Federal soldiers in Aderson Dis trict, in November of last year, were sentenced to be hung, and were recently released by Judge Hall, of Delaware, before whom they were brought upon a writ of Hu beat Corpus —has been aban doned. Ihe reason assigned, according to the Tribune, which burned with self complacent indignation when Judga Hall's decision was published, is that the charges against them “are not founded in fact.” Negro Emigration.— T(ie Atlanta Intelligencer says: “Not a day passes but large numbers of the negro popula tion take their departure Westward over the State ltoad. We nave been informed that not less than u thousand per week are thus transported on their way re joiciug to the rich Mississippi bottoms. They are collected up in various sections by agents, and it is said that all sorts of inducements arc offered them. A group may be seen at the car shed every day awaiting shipment.” tin gdcgtapli.

The Arkansas delegation had an inter view with the President to day, whom they found cordial, communicative, and cheerful. 110 expressed himself highly pleased with their,mission, and urged them to communi cato freely with Representatives and Sen ators. They visit tho President again to morrow, when they will meet members <f tho cabinet and Gen. Grant. The delegation have no prepositions to make, nor' ore they authorized to accept any.
