Schools’ may instruct-men in military seience, but itis only war, actual and bloody war, that can develop the great general. ‘Every one who has a good style of speaking has one peculiar to himself.

One of. the bones of his right leg was broken and he was otherwise bruised. The horse became frightened and when shying slipped down throwing Gegan under him. Dr. Hunt dressed the wounds, How is This? We perceive by our Eastern exchanges that. the paper working in the Greeley-Democrati¢ interest. in North Curolina, have furiously attacked Mr. Boutwell’s -statement that there have been .very few revenue defalcations under ‘President the matter more than in the manner. Logical deductions are obtained by a careful investigation of the subject. The orator himself sees them by a clear light, and his soul becomes electrified, and like an overcharged’ battery gives off from the abundance within, Considering the comparatively few who expect'to make public speaking their business in life, and considering the uncertainty of the means adopted to attdin the end, while there .is a great practical necessity that all should know how to express their thoughts rapidly and elegantly on paper, the conviction forces itself upon us that by far too much time is given to declamation and by far too little to originalcomposition. There @re some, teachers and others, who lay great stress on declamation and who judge the success of a school by the frequency of these exercises. We expect that such would honestly difbfer with us on this subject, bat from . ‘a number, of year’s experience in ‘teaching, and from a careful observation of the effect of so much declamation we confess we have less faith in the utility of the exercise. The pupil should be taught how to present himself before an audience, and that it is necessary to conform to certyin well known usages, but the whole subject can be taught sufficiently at. half a dozen leasons; indeed if a boy has any talent for speaking worth cultivating, this in sufficient instruction to enable him to form his own style and manner ‘of ‘speaking. Let the rest of the time usually devoted to this subject be given te a preparation of the matter. The teacher who instructs in original composition is. doing a noble work for his pupils. In this way he’ prepares him for a career of influence though his voice may never be heard in public, and.at the same time he may rest asyured that he is pursuing’ the proper course for the cultivation of a logical and forcible eloquence. Fast Writing. ; Locke says the faster a man writes the slower others read what he has written, Napoleon could write fourteen pages in a minute; unfortunately, however, each page consisted of eight blots and a spatter. Some of his lines to Maria Louisa appear as two notable instances in that State— Grant’s administration. , They cite that. of John Crane, in the Fifth Revenue District, ‘and of L. G.} Estes, in-the Twenty-fifth District it appeurs from the records at Washington, that these men were appointed by Andrew Johnson, and ‘they were recommended—the first, by John H. Gilmer and J. R. Doolittle, and the second, by J. R. Dooiittle and—Leach, the present Democratic candidate for Congress from the Fifth North Carolina Congressional District. ‘The amountof the defalcation of Crane was given at $195,000, and of Estes at $127,000. The officers were removed by General Grant upon his accession to office, and their de. falcations are certainly not chargeable to the presentAdministration, but ure accounts for the Greeley Democracy {o settle.

One of. the bones of his right leg was broken and he was otherwise bruised. The horse became frightened and when shying slipped down throwing Gegan under him. Dr. Hunt dressed the wounds, How is This? We perceive by our Eastern exchanges that. the paper working in the Greeley-Democrati¢ interest. in North Curolina, have furiously attacked Mr. Boutwell’s -statement that there have been .very few revenue defalcations under ‘President the matter more than in the manner. Logical deductions are obtained by a careful investigation of the subject. The orator himself sees them by a clear light, and his soul becomes electrified, and like an overcharged’ battery gives off from the abundance within, Considering the comparatively few who expect'to make public speaking their business in life, and considering the uncertainty of the means adopted to attdin the end, while there .is a great practical necessity that all should know how to express their thoughts rapidly and elegantly on paper, the conviction forces itself upon us that by far too much time is given to declamation and by far too little to originalcomposition. There @re some, teachers and others, who lay great stress on declamation and who judge the success of a school by the frequency of these exercises. We expect that such would honestly difbfer with us on this subject, bat from . ‘a number, of year’s experience in ‘teaching, and from a careful observation of the effect of so much declamation we confess we have less faith in the utility of the exercise. The pupil should be taught how to present himself before an audience, and that it is necessary to conform to certyin well known usages, but the whole subject can be taught sufficiently at. half a dozen leasons; indeed if a boy has any talent for speaking worth cultivating, this in sufficient instruction to enable him to form his own style and manner ‘of ‘speaking. Let the rest of the time usually devoted to this subject be given te a preparation of the matter. The teacher who instructs in original composition is. doing a noble work for his pupils. In this way he’ prepares him for a career of influence though his voice may never be heard in public, and.at the same time he may rest asyured that he is pursuing’ the proper course for the cultivation of a logical and forcible eloquence. Fast Writing. ; Locke says the faster a man writes the slower others read what he has written, Napoleon could write fourteen pages in a minute; unfortunately, however, each page consisted of eight blots and a spatter. Some of his lines to Maria Louisa appear as two notable instances in that State— Grant’s administration. , They cite that. of John Crane, in the Fifth Revenue District, ‘and of L. G.} Estes, in-the Twenty-fifth District it appeurs from the records at Washington, that these men were appointed by Andrew Johnson, and ‘they were recommended—the first, by John H. Gilmer and J. R. Doolittle, and the second, by J. R. Dooiittle and—Leach, the present Democratic candidate for Congress from the Fifth North Carolina Congressional District. ‘The amountof the defalcation of Crane was given at $195,000, and of Estes at $127,000. The officers were removed by General Grant upon his accession to office, and their de. falcations are certainly not chargeable to the presentAdministration, but ure accounts for the Greeley Democracy {o settle.

Tae numerical addition to the strength of the Northern States from immigration, since the censts of 1800, is estimated at 17,500,000, and the value in wealth at $5,000,000,000.

These are of various sizes, sometimes, in large fish, weighing many pounds, and it isa popular belief among fishermen that these are taken in just before a storm for the purpose of anchoring themselves during the expected swell of the sea. This is corroborated by the fyct (if it be one) that all the fish taken -before a stormagree in this peculiarity, whereas at ordinary times nothing o the kind can be detected.
