For the Recorder.
ELLEN’S SH1LE.
Bv U. Noiroo.
’Twins, one of England’s fav’rite bards who said-:
“Cupid hath not, in all his quiver’s choice,
An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice :”—
-Gi’.t then he never knew sWeet Ellen’s smile.
The rule.is true in gen’ral, I a low,
But this exception I can fairly claim :
And Bi/ron had admitted, had he seen
And felt its sweet and magic influence,
That, in ajfairef da aeur, this charming smile
Gould almost reverse Nature’s sternest rules.
A sweet voice is a most enchanting thing.
And such is Ellen’s too—for it would take
A seraph's choicest tones to equal hers— __
But then her smile ! O winning witchery I
ft is the sweetest smile that ever shone
Upon, or illum’d human countenance .'
Then in effect how matchless, wonderful!
Bright, penetrating, soul-pervading, bland--
Jt goes right to the heart—but pierces not.
Nor does it lacerate, as do some of
Cupid's barb’d arrows, ruthlessly discharg’d ;—
But. falling as her soft breath would upon
2 ... fWei--.vork on a. --vindovr-panr—
I melts it down—dissolves it quite away !
You ask : “How know this effect ?” Ah me l
Well yes—I think I might as well tell you : —
’Tis by experience! “Was it sweet or sad ?”
To toll you which is more than I ean do—
For ’tis indeed a mingling of the two.

Congress, in their wisdom, have, so far, deemed
your services in the school room of greater impor
tance than in the army. Yon are not personally
favored in their legislation by being left at home.
|t is because they feel that you can better serve
year country as educators, than as soldiers. How
important then, that every teacher of the 8onta#e-
gard himself, and be regarded by others, aa a public
benefactor and patriot! How unworthy is every
one who has become a teacher from no higher.me-
live than to keep out of the array!
As the educ&torg of a peculiar people, holding
peculiar views and institutions, it is of the highest
importance that aH our teachers place themselves
on the broad platform of principles which nnderlia
our government—that their efforts and labors har
monise and blend into one grand system, and lead
to one great end. Freedom and religion are tbn
fundamental principles of our nationality. On
this solid platiorm should all our teachers ait sad
icstal those principles iuto tho minds of the yoong
who sit at their feet.
It is not only the office of onr teachers to mould
the intellectual and moral state of the yonng, bet
onr national literatnrc also is to come mostly from
their pen. And the literature of a nation wields
not only a powerful influence on the national mind,
bat it is really, the exponent of the intellectual and
moral condition, and the most imperishable glory
of the nation.
As Ikterestiso Isciuent or t«x Battle or
Fraskmx.—We leara frora-a private letter, by a
participant in this sanguinary fight, that the gal
lant Missouri brigade, led by the brave and noble
Gen. Cockerell, and attached to French’s division,
entered the fight six hundred strong, and brought
out only two hundred and sixty one, having lost
four hundred and nineteen men killed and wsnnd-
ed and missing. In speaking of the charge made
by this brigade, our informant says: “In a
very few minutes, Gen. Cockerell retained, riding
his wearied horse, and severely wounded in three
places. The horse of Col. Gates, of hia brigade,
which had so often followed Gen. Cockerell's over
many a weary mile, turned and by instinct, follow
ed him from the field also, the rider, shot through
both ann» being unable to guide him. I shall
never forget the steady calm gaze of this old hero
of many a battle field, at he sat on his horse erect

from the battlefield.”
Many of this brigade fell'on and in tho enemy’s
works. Two color sergeants passed over, and a
few others. But they and tho little force of Col.
Adair were too weak to remain.and were compell
ed to retire and abandon the field with the root.
The enemy had a ditch in front of bit last en
trenchment, and our informant adds; “Major Gen
eral Cleburne was killed and fell iu the enemy’s
ditch. Brig. Gen. John Adams was found in the
enemy’s ditcii, and I saw his bone stretched dead
on top of the enemy’s main lino.
Over the dead at Franklin may well be inscri
bed hereafter, the simple but truthful epitaph,
“Pause, traveller! you tread upon tbo dost of na-
roeB.”
Praying Over It.—In early life Stonewall
Jackson had been rather irreligious, but some
time after entering upon his duties as professor in
the Virginia Military Institute, ho made a profes
sion of religion and joined the Presbyterian church
at Lexington, under the pastorate of the Bov. Dr
White. There was a marked change in hie life,
’but for some time he took nO dfctive part in'ehureb
matters. At last a faithful “Elder” took him aside
one day, and asked if he “did not think that bw
ouo-ht to lead in prayer, and participate in other
active duties of the church ?” He promptly re
plied , ‘ ‘No, I do not think that il is my duty. Have
you prayed over it, Major ?” persisted the Hder.
“No, sir I have not but will do so. The next day
the Elder saw him walking rapidly by his door
without, stopping, aa was his want, and Tearing
that he was trying to avoid the subject ef tiie pro-
vious evening's converaation be determined net to
let the matter rest, and ealkng after him to
«o P , accosted him with. “Ha*e yon comphed
with vour jromise. Major, and e^ade that patter
a subject ol prayer ?” . “Yes. sir, said he, “and I
was just*on my Lay to tell Dr. White to call on
me to lead in prayer-meeting, to-night.” From
that, day he became one of the most, active mem
bers of the church.
ACuriositt.—The enchanted monatain in Tex-
ae ia an immense oval rock 300 feet high, eiteeted
about eighty miles north of Bastrop, iteimrfieete

a distance of three or fonr miles. Tboer wbe

Such a nation as ours needs and must have a
literature of its own. Then Southern Educators,
as you realize your responsibilities, do you appre
ciate the work which lies before you 7 If it is yonr
office to shape the mind and literature of our infant
nation, how important is ittlrat you at once begin
the task in earnest. In regard to the literature ef
our country, it is in your power to decide whether
it shail be poisonous productions of our enemies
nnder the insidious garb of “Southern Edition,” or
tbe jfrodnetions of Southern mind# adapted to South
ern institutions. The republication of foreign hooks
generally, will but corrupt tbe minds of onr people,
undermine the foundation of our nationality, and
present us to the world as an ignoble and d«»s’ >ea-
bie people. Frown, therefore, upon 1 .o
are republishing and circulating in the 8 is
dange rous literature, and encourage th: * ..re
publishing Southern books by South*- i. to.
To the Educated Ladies of the. Sot .
Ladies: The fact has already been uieurioned,
that the silent, yet powerful influence of pious, in
telligent woman is the main spring cf society and
the hope of the world. When we appeal to tbe
ladies of the South, we appeal to those who ere
able and know how to uieJd this influence. Your
influence in the cause ot Southern independence
bas been felt and acknowledged by the world. We
appeal to yon to unite ail the elements of your
mighty influence in the eause of Southern Educe,
tion. Let all the rays of that influence blend to
disperse the dark night of ignorance. Your ser
vices are not claimed in the field, but yonr country
needs yonr influence in the school room. Your
patriotism .will not allow yon to turn heedlessly
awey from tbe cries of the young and rising
generation and tbe calls of your country. The
men ef the South are needed in the field, and the
educated ladies must take their places in the
schools of the land. Will not every educated
young lady of the Soutii come forward, at . once,
and enlist as a teacher, and lend her inflneuce i»
tbe cause ot edneation ?
To the People.
People of tbe South; You have cheerfully
many noble sacrifices for the cause of Southern in
dependence. You have freely given ot your prop
erty and your blood. Having paid so dearly for
your freedom which we think in the providence ef
God, ia sore, can yon fail to watch the future want*
of onr nation 7 To gain our independence a# a
nation will be an inestimable blessing, but to ne
glect the moral and mental training of the children
of tbe South will be to destroy our independence,
and lose the dear, blood-bought treasure.
“Knowledge is power.” It is better thaarichee
or honor. It is tbe principal thing. We, therefore,
beg your influence and co-open: ion in tbe eeuee
of Southern education. But it may be asked,
“What can we do in this work 7” Yon ean esll
into the school rooms the teachers who are to train
the young. You can encourage and support them
in their arduous work. Our schools would ail
soon be filled with able and competent teachers if
they were called out, and properly encouraged au4
remunerated by our people. Then, dear people ef
tbe South raise your voices at once and call for tbe
educated ladies of our land to teach your children,
end open your hearts and purses te their support.

A Valuable Machine.—We recently paid e
viait to the great labor and time saving machine in
vented by Greenwood & Batley, of Leeds, En
gland, end purchased upon its recent arrival in
Wilmington by Col. K. B. Bullock of this city, tke
superintendent of the Southern Express Company.
Col. Bullock bas had this most valuable machine
put up at the Government Navy Machine Worke,
of Messrs Mellikeu & Harrall on Reynolds street,
where it has been in successful operation—only ex
perimenting however for the benefit of some of
our Government officials and contractor#, end
master mechanics. .
Tbe machine is very simple in construction, and
in shape very much like a steam punching am-
ehine; in principle somewhat on the plan of saw
ing machine, and is intended to cat leather or cloth
ef any description. We saw it cut through five
thi<»himiB«i of sole leather, and sixty thickness ef
grey Confederate cloth, for soldiers’ coats and
pants. The great feature of the machine is an
endless knife, w hich runs over two wheels, and ia
capable of being turned to suit any shape required
tobe cntoutoft.be material used. From sixty te
seventy-five suits of clothing can he cut out at ene
time, sn« tew to twenty pairs of boots at once.
