Even at this early hour, (two A.

On Friday morning, the enemy having evacuated the place attacked the evening before by my brigade, I commenced the march, as ordered by you, deployed in line of battle in the edge of the woodland north of the Mechanicsville road, between the village and the river.

Captain McIntosh's battery, attached to my brigade, having exhausted its ammunition, and one piece being disabled, was left behind, to renew its supply and repair damages; and I ordered up Captain Greenlee Davidson's battery, (Letcher artillery,) from the other side of the Chickahominy. It was, however, so late in the day before that gallant and active officer received my order, that it was not in hi

The steam and ferry-boats having been burned by the enemy on their retreat, it was found impossible to cross the river and pursue them; besides, their command was completely demoralized, and retreated with great haste and in all directions, making their capture in any numbers quite doubtful if pursued. Besides this, General Buell had contributed a considerable ***rce to aid General Grant in the movement on Fort Donelson, and Bowling Green was evacuted in the face of an advance upon it by General Buell, and before Fort Donelson had fallen. But whether any substantial progress had been made by General Buell after Genera

urse. This may also single out particulars. Psal. 32. 8. I will instruct, and guide thee with mine eye. As the childe knowes the pleasure of his father in his eye, so doth the child of God see Gods pleasure in the eye of his heavenly Fathers providence. And this is done three wayes. First, if God give a man an inclination to this or that course for that is the spirit of man; and God is the father of spirits; Rom. 1. 11, 12. 1 Cor. 16. 12. Paul discerned his calling to goe to Rom. by his Zzz, his ready inclination to that voyage; and Apollos his loathing to goe to Corinth, Paul accepted as a just reason of his refusall of a calling to go thither.

If the atmosphere had been perfectly still when this motion was given to the earth, as we have supposed it to have been before the creation of the sun, the consequence would be a breeze directly from the east, blowing with different degrees of strength, as it was nearer to, or further from the equator. For it is obviously the same thing whether the atmosphere stands still, and the earth revolves, or whether the earth stands still, and the atmosphere moves. In either case we have a wind. Zzz But the atmosphere was not still, when we gave the diurnal motion to the earth. There was already a breeze blowing, as we have seen, from the north, and south poles toward the equator. We have thus generated two winds—a north wind and an east wind. But these two winds cannot blow in the same place at the same time; and the result will be a wind compounded of the two. Thus in the northern hemisphere we Shall have a north-east wind, and in the southern hemisphere we shall have a south

a sort of duty for educated men to have on hand a lecture or two which they were willing to read to any audience which was willing to ask them. Hale's Lowell and his friends. Emerson wrote to a friend in 1843, There is now a lyceum, so called, in almost every town in New England, and if I would accept an invitation I might read a lecture every night. But all lecturers were not expected to contribute their wisdom or entertainment without compensation. It was said in the early fifties that Zzz Ik Marvel, from the delivery of one not very good lecture, could secure money enough to support himself while he was writing a really good book, and that one course of Bayard Taylor's lectures brought him profit enough to pay his way ten times around the world. Greeley always loved to talk, and the lecture-field was a tempting one to him. In later years it used to be said in the office that the only way he could be induced to take a vacation was to start him off on a lecturing tour. His
