ORANDEZE. Army of Northern Virginia, ? Sept. 10, 1863. £ ' year he covered the retreat of the British troops, at Braddock’s defeat, and was appointed to the com mand-in-chief of all the Virginia forces. John Quincy Adam was appointed, by Waslriugton, in 1794, minister resident to the United Netherlands, thus commencing his public life at the age of twenty-seven. Napoleon, we believe, was only twenty-seven when he led the army into Egypt. Some of the poets that have been the pride of Eng land. have commenced to write early in life. Some few, however, have produced their best pieces in old age. Cowper was fifty before lie obtained any reputation as an author. Y'oung never wrote anything that could be called poetry, till he was over sixty, and was more than eighty when he published his poem on ‘Resignation.’ Chaucer wrote his best poetry after he was sixty. Pope wrote at twelve years of age ; Cowley at fifteen; Chatterton at eleven. Samuel Rogers was fixed in his determination to become a poet, by a peru sal of Beattie’s ‘Minstrel’ when only nine years of age. Thomas Moore wrote poetry in his four teenth year, which was published in the Dublin Magazine. Campbell wrote his poem on the ‘Pleasures of Hope’ at twenty-one—the same age at which Pope wrote his essay on ‘Criticism.’■—* Shelly wrote at the age of fifteen, he produced his wild atheistical poem, ‘Queen Mab.’ Keats pub lished his ‘Endymion,’ in his twenty-second year. ment as 9 pounds of roast beef, which, at 25 cents, is $2 24; that is, 25 cents worth of flour goea as far as nine times that much money spent far roast beef as weighed at the butcher’s stall. A pint ot white beans, weighing 1 pound, and costing? cents,contains as much nutriment as 34 pounds of roast beef, costing 87^ cents. Of all the articles that can be eaten, the cheapest are bread, butter, molasses, beans and rice. A pound of corn meal, (Indian) goes as far as a pound of floor; so that fine family flour at $16 dollars a barrel,and corn meal at 4 cents, the latter is just one half leas expensive. It corn and wheat were ground, and the whole product, brand and all made into bread, 15 per cent, of nutriment would be saved, with much greater healthfulness.

MICKLEJOHN, Assessor. Miliedgeville, Eeb. 21, 1865 S tf PREACHING TO THE POINT. • Hugh L. White, for many years a distinguished Judge in Tennessee, and alterwafds a conspicuous member of tne Senate of the United States, tells the following : It bad been noised about (fiat Rev. James Axley would pvcacli on the morning of the following Sab bath. The famous divine was a great favorite; with none more so' than Judge White. At the ap- pointed hour, the Judge, in company with a large congregation, \as in attendance. The services were begun by another preacher, at the close of whose address Mr. Axley arose, and stood silently surveying the congregation.— All were hushed in expectation, Every eye was riveted on him. He then began : “My friends, it is a very painful, but a very nec essary duty, fora minister of the gospel to reprove vice, misconduct, and sin, wherever found; and be assured I will not shrink from the duty on this occasion. “And i£w,” continued the speaker, pointing with his finger, “that sandy-haired man sitting yon der by the door, who got up and went out while the brother was preaching, and staid out so long ; who got Ms bpots full of mud, and came in and stamped the mud oft* at the door, making such a noise that nobody could hear the preacher—that man thinks that I mean him. “No w order that he thinks so. It is a disgrace to the State that he should have grown up here add have no b< ; ter manners. Now, my friend, I ad vise you to go home, and learn to behave yourself before you again come to the house of prayer. But Ido not mean him. “And now,” pointing again to his mark, “that little girl about tbe middle of the floor—I should judge her to be about sixteen years old—w ith flow ers inside of her bonnet; she that 'vas gigg!in_ and chattering all the time the brother was preach ing—she thinks that I mean her. - “And she ought to think so. I am sorry for any parents that have brought up a girl to her age without teaching her to behave modesty and prop erly ; they are to be pitied. Lirclegirl, you liave disgraced your parents as well as yourself. But I do nut mean her. “And now, that man on the bench in the corner, w ho is looking up as blight as if he had never been asleep in Ins life, and never expected] to be, but who was nodding, and bowing and snoring all through ihe sermon—that man thinks that I mean him. “And, indeed, he may well think so. My friend, the house of God is not intended for a place of sleeping. When you want to take a nap, go home, take off your clothes, and go to bed ; there is the place to sleep, not in church. But I do not mean him.” And thus he went on, fixing his dark eye on < acli uflender, fill lie.had pointed out nearly every man, woman and child, \\ iio 'had. in any respect deviated from strict propriety, ending each reproof with “I do not mean him,” or, “I do not mean her.” Judge White, sitting on the front bench, just in face of the preacher, was, all the time' enjoying the fun wonderfully. He laughed, he rubbed his haiids, he chewed his tobacco with the greatest vigor.— As each new' offender was brought up, he chewed more and more violently, till the floor before him became a puddle. . “Now,” said the preacher, drawing himself up with a severe look, “I suppose you want to know whom I do mean. I mean,” said he, point ing his finger true as the needle to the pole—“I mean that filthy tobacco chewer, sitting on the end ol' the front seat. Look at those puddles on the floor! A toad would be poisoned in them: and think of the sisters’ dresses being dragged through such pollution.” Judge White’s laughter was checked as sudden ly' as if a thunderbolt had fallen. Every eye in the congregation was instantly fastened on him. He has averred that lie never afterwards dared to chew tobacco in church. A Nouwegiam Dance.—Round the musician tlie young men and maidens formed a ring and be gan to dance. There was little, and that little was in an undertone. They' went to work with the utmost gravity and decorum. Scarcely’ a laugh was heard—nothing approaching to a shout the whole night—nevertheless, they enjoyed them- 'selves thoroughly ; I have no doubt whatever of that. The nature of their dances was somewhat incomprehensible. It seemed as if the chief object of the young men was to exhibit their agitility’ by every species of improintu bound and fling of which the human frame is capable, including the rather desperate feat of dashing themselves flat upon the ground. The principle care of the girls seemed to be to keep out of the way of the men, and avoid being killed by a frantic kick or felled by a random blow. But the desperate feature in each dance did uot ap pear at first. Every man began by seizing his part ners hand, and dragging her round the circle, ev er and anon twirling her round violently with one arm and catching her round the waste with the other, in order—as it appeared to me.—to save her from an untimely end. To this treatment the fair damsels submitted with pleased though bashful looks. But soon the men flung them off, and went at it entirely on their own account; yet they kept up a sort of revolving course round their partners, like satellites round their separate suns. Present ly the satellites assumed soyie of the characteris tics of the comet. They rushed about the circle in wild eratic cour ses ; they leaped into the air, and while in that position slapped the soles of their feet with both hands. Should any one deem this an easy feat let them try it. Then they became a little more sane, and a waltz, or something like it, was got up. It was really’ pretty’, and some of the move ments were graceful; but fhe wild spirit of the glens re-entered the men suddenly. The females were expelled from the ring altogether, and the youths braced themselves for a little heavy work ; they flung and hurled themselves about like mani acs, stood on their heads and walked on their hands—in short became a company of acrobats, yet all ways kept up a sympathetic feeling for time with the music-—Good Words.

The habit of going without suffi cient sleep, is very injurious. Thousands, no doubt, have permanently injured their health in this way. We live in a fast age, when everybody seems to be trj’ing to invert the order of nature. If folks will persist in turning night into day, it is not to be wondered at that few last out the allot ted term of life. No matter what be a man’s occu pation—physical or mental, or, like Othello's, ‘gone,’ and living in idleness—the constitution cannot last depend upon it, without sufficiency of regular, and refreshing sleep. John Hunter, the great surgeon, died suddenly, of spasmodic affec tion of the heart—a disease greatly encouraged by want of sleep. In a just published volume, by a medical man, there is one great lesson that hard students, and literary men, may learn, and that is, that Hunter probably killed himself, by taking too little sleep. ‘Four hours’ rest at night, and one after dinner, cannot be deemed sufficient to recruit the exhausted poivers of body and mind.” Cer tainly not, and the consequence was, that Hun ter died early. If men will insist on cheating sleep, her ‘twin sister, death will avenge the in sult.” Poison.—Hall’» Journal of Healt^ says if a per son 8Wallow3 poison deliberately, or by chance, instead of breaking out into multitudinous and in coherent exclamations, dispatch some one for tha doctor ; meanwhile, run to the kitchen, get a half glass of water in any thing that is handy, put it in to a teaspoonful of salt, and as much ground mus tard, stir it an instant, catch a firm hold of the persons uuse, the mouth will ^oon fly open—then down with the mixture, and 'in a second or two up will come the poison. Thus it will answer bet ter in a large number of cases than anything else. If, by this time the doctor has not arrived, make the patient swallow the white of an egg followed by a cup of strong coffee, as antidotes for any poison that remains in the stomach, because these purify a larger number of poisons than any other accessible article. Caution in Feeding Stock.—It will not do to take a cow or a horse used to low food—for in stance, picking up its food about a poor planta tion—and for the sake of getting from them extra quantities of milk or labor, to commence high feeding suddenly. Every one knows of horses being thus overfed at the start, becoming seriously injured. We have known milch cows thus nearly.ruined. Greedy of the unaccustomed quantity of rich food, they over feed, and the consequence is a flux or running off* of the bowels, very difficult sometimes to cure. Commence the increase in feeding all animals gradually, and in a few days you can feed as high as you like. This applies to animals of every de scription.— Cultivator. Never too old to Learn.—Socrates at an ex treme age. learned to play on musical instruments. Cato, at eighty years of age, thought proper to learn the Greek language. Plutarch, when between seventy’ and eighty, commenced the study of Latin. Bocacio was thirty-five y ears of age when he commenced his studies in polite literature, yet lie became one of the three masters of the Tuscan di alect.

' A J BANKS. Miliedgeville, Feb 21,1865 v 8 tf Sir Humpbrev Spelman neglected the sciences in his youth, but commenced studying of them when he was between fifty and sixty years of age. After tins time he became a most learned antiqua rian and lawyer. • Cobert, the famous French minister, at sixty years of age, returned to his Latin and law stud ies. Ludovico, at. tlje great age of one hundred and fifteen, wrote the memoirs of his own times. A singular exertion, noticed by Voltaire, who was. himself, one of the most remarkable instances of the progressing of age in new studies. OgiTily, the translatorof Homer and Virgil, was unacquainted with Latin add Greek till he was past the age of fifty. Franklin did not co mtnence his philosophical pursuits till he had reached his fiftieth year. Ac corse, a great lawyer, being rsked why he be gan the study of law so late, answered that indeed lie began it late, but he could master it the sooner.

In Harmony with Nature.—A correspondent of the Oregon Statesmen furnish the the following valuable hint to the fidgety. We have no doubt there 13 something in it, and that as a genera! rule those who lie with their heads to the North will sleep well, especially’ if under the influence of a clear conscience and a light supper : For the last two years J haVe 'been tin able to sleep well during much of the time, on account of nervousness during the night. About a mouth ago my wife told me she had turned the head of our bed to the north in accordance with a sug gestion she had read, made by some old plriloso- pher or doctor, who declared that, to “get in har mony with.nature,” and facilitate the flow of elec tricity through the system, people must sleep witli their heads towards the magnetic pole. I laugh ed at the idea, hut consented to the arrangement. The result has been I liave slept like a log ever since. Some, say they have cured the nervous headache by it. It may do others no good, but it will do them no -harm to try it.— There certainly may be as much good philoso phy in it as there is in the working of a forked peach lfmb over a vein of water thirty feet under ground. This was once accounted for by a scien tific correspondent in one of the Patent office Reports on the principle of electrical attraction. Be this as it may, my wife is such a thorough convert to the magnetic theory that she has turned all her beds so as to head north. If this be realy a genuine dis covery, what a world of misery’ it will save the nervous and fidgety! Employment of WoslEa ix France.—I am in duced to say a word upon the very numerous em ployments of females in France, which are not open to them at home. The books of nine tenths of tbs rr-toii stores in Paris.nr a kept by women. I'do not remember a coffee house in tbe city tbe counter of which is not presided over by a woman. The box offices of the theatres are tended by wo men—not only those of the evening, but those open during the day for the sale of reserved pla ces. The box-openers and audience-seekers are women. And not only do women act as sellers in such establishments as are naturally fitted for them, but even in groceries, hardware shops, wood yards, fruit shops, butcheries, etc. In these pla ces the book-keeper is a women, fenced in and Q.tmnvnfp/1 frntn tliA hv a fruififli 1 WArt nf nrlu&a separated from the rest by a frarfifi 1 work of glass. The ticket sellers at the railway stations are prin cipally women. Women even guard the stations and some of tha less frequented crossings. Women cry the rate of exchange every afternoon after the Bourse hours ; and more numbers of the newspapers are disposed of by women than by men. I never saw yet a newsboy in France. In the porters’ lodges in the city there are as many portresses as portes, and a landlord would prefer to take for this service a woman without a husband than a man without a wife. Imsmall houses, where only one person is required,™hat one person is a wo man. Omnibus conductors submit their waybills at the transfer offices to women for inspection and ratification. Women let donkeys for rides at Mont morency, and saddle them too. Women under take the moving of furniture, agree with yon as to the price, and yon find them quite as responsible as men . There are other capacities in which wo men are employed in France, which I trust and believe would never be accepted by women at home ; a brigade of street sweepers contains an equal number of males and females.

Ploughing Milch Cows.—We learn that Capt. James Henderson, of Jasper county, has accom plished the task of ploughing milch cows. Ha works gear upon them, like he would upon a horse, or mule. Feeding them very well, they do their work kindly, and give more milk, now, than they did before he began to work them.—Countryman. “Mind what you are doing,” said a little chap to another who had knocked his cap down over liis eyes. “Do you think I wear a percussion cap?” Every man cherishes in liis heart some object— some shrine at which his adoration is paid, un known to his fellow mortals. The plan is now generally adopted in Grant’*: army, when burying the dead, to place in tho grave with the body a sealed bottle, containing & paper on which is written the name and other par ticulars respecting the deceased. 391,507,240 eggs were imported into England ia the first ten months of the year. The Swedish census, taken December 31, 1863, is published. The total population of Sweden is 4.022,564, and there are 105,94^ more women than men.

An old sailor finding a corked bottle floating on the sea, opened it with the soliloquy, “rum I hope, gin I think, tracts by jingo!” and then threw it back into the'water. “Marriage,” said an unfortunate hnsband. “is the churchyard of love.” “And you men,” te plied the wife, “are tbe grave diggers.”
