Many people who are in splendid circum
stances (though not wealthy), havitg comfortable
loines, good ot ctards, and usat.y conveniences
for living which time and labor have been ex
pended in procuring, are ready to ‘ pull up" and
join the procession oi emigrants, composed ol
persons ot all ages, bound for some new country
where their deluded imaginations aad unground
ed hopes have led them to believe that they must
necessarily grow rich without effort or labor.
Some cl these will better their condition, per

solved to change their location; and when in ad
vanced years, too late lor retraction of mifguided
j steps, will feel the full force of the truth ot the
old adage—" It is always best to let well enough
alone.” All this applies more peculiarly to negroes
than the white, people, and yet to both classes.
There is in the human heart a perpetual and
restless longing tor change, and where adversity
overtakes us and troublous skies hang heavily
clouded over us, the impulse of our nature is to
travel; to seek anew home; to engage in some
j other occupation and associate with new and un
! tried people. Ordinarily, however, he who has
the grit to stick to his “ first love” succeeds best.
But this continual moving and shuttling in this
world Is a money-losing investment. This ljfe is
very much as we make it after all.
Someone has said:
Life is shoit and full of cares,
The end is always nigh,
We seldom halt began to live,
Before we’re doomed to die.
And certainly nothing could be inore truthful.
We have ndspare moments in this life to 6Pend
iu walking up and down the earth, in search ot
better homes, richer landu, and a belter country.
We should settle down for good at once, laugh at
the fabulous tales of immense and princely for
tunes being accumulated in a few days, honestly
and pleasantly look after our own business, culti
vate the spirit of contentment, and show true grit
by the manifestation of true sense.
General R. E. Lee.—A writer in the Richmond
Enquirer, General Dabney H. Maury, corrects
6evera! errors that have appeared recently in the
reviews ol English magazines of “Cooke’s Life of
Tee.” and a review iu the Standard of an article
in the Euir ,,ar K‘ We extract the following,
which we regard as authentic, in regard to the
forces employed by Lee and Grant in the great
battles from Spotsylvania to Richmond :
“ It is well established by the Federal records
that the losses of Grant between bis first collision
with Lee’s army and the defeat which he sustained
at Cold Harbor, amounted to 1:15,000 men ! Swin
ton and other careful histoiians so state it. The
Edinburg rev ewer places the total losses of the
•my of the Potomac at a ranch lower figuie.
While he states the nun:bars of the army of North
ern Virginia at 70.C00 > ffetives, we believe that
Geneial Le • did not hhve 50,000 nrn n on any one
t attle-tit Id during the campaign.
“Agiin the army of Grant at the Appomattox
is stated in the Review at 150 000—that of Lee at
40,0t0. Whereas General Lee himself assured the
writer of this that on the 2d of April, 1865, his
whole force of all arms amounted to oniy 32,C00
men, while Grant staled to General Lee that on
the same date his effective force of all arms num
bered no less than 220,000 men.
“General Lee further stated to me that when
he surrendered at Appomattox on the 9.h of April,
after seven days ot hard marching, fighting and
starvation, he had only about eight thousand ef
fectives left to bear the battle-flags tor the last
time of the grandest army which ever yet has up
held a righteous cause, and illustrated the man
hood of a noble race."
Anecdote of Lord Brougham —Among some
English stories of queer betting is the following
of Lord Brougham:
Brougham contrived to make a holiday pay for
itself by the exercise ot a little shrewdness. It
was in his college days, that, by way of seeing a little
life, he went one autumn to Dumfries, in order to
make one at the Caledonian Hunt meeting. Ac
cording to the then custom, everybody dined at
a table d'hote, and after dinner betting set in. Bro
ugham offered to bet the whole company that
none of them would write down the manner in
which he meant to go to the races the next day.
Those who accepted his challenge wrote down
their conjectures, and Brougham wrote down his
iutentiou oftiaveling in a sedan-chair, a mode of
conveyance no one had hit upon. To the races
he went, an immense crowd seeing him safely
chaired to the course. The bet was renewed as
to the manner of his return to Dumfries, the accep
tors taxing their wits to imagine the most im
probable method of traveling. Brougham had
calculated upon this, and won the doubie event
by returning in a postchaise and two.
Adams.—The Atlanta Constitution says: Gos
sip mentions Charles Francis Adams a9 the prob
able Democratic candidate for Governor of Mas
sachusetts. Young John Quincy Adams, his
son, has been the chronic Democratic gubernato
rial candidate there for long years. It will be quite
kind in the old man to relieve the son, and take
the periodical political thrashing this time.
We know ol no more exhilerating announce
ment than being a candidate for office with no
possibility of success. It is all fun. Massachu
setts has a square Radical majority of somewhere
near 50,000. John Quincy Adams has grown jolly
butting his bead against it. Charles Francis Adams
is probably out of amusements, and wants to be
jolly too. We wish him great luck. The novelty
of studying the philosophy of defeat is something
to be hankered after and profitably enjoyed. The
luxury will be complete when the defeat is admin
istered by the prince of nature’s noblemen, the
great and the good—Beast Butler.
Happy Adams!

art he removed to Washii gton, aud soon atier to
Italy, where he continued to reside up to the day
of his death, achieving triumphs which gave him
a world-wide feme and placed him in the front
rank of the profession to which he was so long
and ardently devoted. Among the many works
of merit he produced the Greek Slave was the
master-piece. He executed statues of Washing

Qaioey Adams, Jackson, Chief Justice Marshal),
Edward Everet and Martin Van Buren, with
many others of less note.

The local news le the most Important feature of
a newspaper, eays Colonel Calkins in his address
before the Wiscocein Editorial Convention, for
the vaet majority of readers. It is like social gos
sip, and it has a pungency and attraction, if well
told, which a record of the most important and re
mote events does notpessess. If the reader knows
personally all about the facts which are described,
so much the better; lor the account which he,
himself beheld, or the report of a meeting which
he atu nded, or in which he participated, will te
perused by him with greater Interest than he
would feci in the most thrilling description by an
eye-witness of the capture of a Modoe chieftain.
A man wiil read with absorbing interest every
line in a description ot a fi.e at wh cn he w.i
--p esen', and the minu’est details of which he a
- kuor; aud it tic can fin.l an u iieuce to
li-ten be will read it to them aiond. I h - to. k
per* in subduing the fire, the account v,p.j
•ess a double cbaim and ravishment, a. and t,i- \e
will kindle, and his cheek will vjuw as be figh's
anew iu print the battle with the Himes. To see
in print what his eyes siw occur, yield- an inde
scribable pleasure to the human mind. A3 we
live egain in our children, we live over again the
eventful moments which the newspapers repro
duces.
The talk of the streets, the counting-room, tha
shops and social circles is the best material for
the local editor. The ablest editorial article on
the events of peace and war will p?ss unread, and
without comment, while a paragraph about trip
lets born in the humblest neighboring family will
be in everybody’s mouth. Every man takes a
greater interest in the absence of his friend or ac
quaintance from home than he would in the ab
sence of the Queen ol Great Britain from her do
minions. A bank in New York may become in
solvent and ruin thousands, but we will barely
mention it, while if a store across the street is
locked np by the Sheriff, we wiil talk about it all
day. An army may be slain in battle on the other
sidu ot the globe without exciting one of our
emotions; but we will all get up to look, and be
shaken by a tempest of feeling, if a drunken
roustabout is knocked down a-ouud the corner.
We feel an interest in the world around us far
deeper ard more enduiing than that which we feel
in the world at large. Our home, domestic won
der is the real nine days’ wonder. This quality
in human nature gives to the local department of
the newspaper an attraction, if it is well edited,
which no other department can acquire.
Noble Wonps —Dr. Chalmers beautifully
said, “The little that I have seen in the world and
known of the history of mankind teaches me to
look upon their errors in sorrow, not in anger.
When I tage the history of one poor heart that
has sinned and snfiered, and represent to myself
the struggles and temptations it passed through—
the brief pulsations of joy j the tears of regret;
the feebleness of purpose ; the seorn oi the world
that has little charity; the desolation of the soul's
sanctuary, and threatning voices within; health
gone , happiness gone—l would faip leave the or
ring soul of my fellow-man with Him from whose
hands it came.”
There is something in dreams after all. A
Western man dreamed that his brother’s head
was cat off without losing a drop of biool, and
the next day he learned that his brother had
been removed from a postmastership,
