At the Cincinnati Pair this branch acquired such development that the catalogue alone comprised forty pages. Chief among Its curiosities' is President Lihcolh's original M3S. of the Amnesty Proclamation of Irr. 8, lsd3. A sale by auction was the method resorted to fur disposing of those articles that It would be dlf-aeult to price according to any settled rule.

Lift of Mar cut Tulliut Cicero, by William TcasTTB, one of Mr. McxRit's prominent books for the Spring season, Is a pleasant resetting of the facts relating to tb Ilia and public career of the great Latin orator. The Industry of the scholars of the seventeenth century, who collected and collated very fraament of Information with painful diligence. renders the acquisition of new data impossible, and Dr. Coaxxss Midsletob'S classic Lift of Cicero probably contains all tb facts that will aver be accessible on the subject.

That book has lasted, however, more than a hundred years, and eveiy story netds telling tver again la the fasrlm of the time sfier the lapse of a generation. Caiman erudition, too, has thrown lipbt oa the subject, and the phenomena can Bow be studied with the aids afforded by exhaustive learning of Mommsxk and Dxcmass. Ws have not noticed any commencement of the intended republication of Mr. Pousttu's book, but it may be recommended as a safe speculation. An enlightened cariosity always desires to make Intimate acquaintance with the great names of history, while in the exigencies of modara life, the number of them who attain to a familiarity with the original souices in a dead language rather diminishes thsn increases.

There Is always room, therefore, for the work of a judicious Interpreter, such as Mr. FouTra'a book roves htm to be. Col. Jambs Gbahav, author of a well-known eotnnendlus Hut org tf tkt Art of War, has a volume shortly to be published by Messrs. Smith Eldir, oa what may be called military ethics, a side of the subject that has hardly yet met with due attention.

The title of the book Is MUUarf End mnd Moral Means, exemplifying tb higher influences affecting military life and character, the motives to use of stratagems la wax, the necessity for standing armies, and tb dutlea ef a military force aiding the civil jpowors. Amidst the present deluge of merely tech Ideal treatises, it IS to 'be hoped that this boon of broader aim will not be overlooked.

From a Sptaml Corritptndtnt. Ran Hecsa, Monday, Feb. 8. 1864. When nature has long ahrunk and withered under the cold.

Icy hand of Winter, and the sameness of snow-clad fields baa become tedious, and forests have tossed their creaking, naaed boughs through many a sleety storm, and the vigorous reign of the rost King has made for months the rays evea of the nonn-day aun a cold mockery, aad men have rested from the arduous labors of the growing and gathering year, til even the -cozy hearthstone begins to lose Its charms, advancing Soring comes beaming on like the realization of hope long deferred, and a quiet but earnest joy sits brightly upon the face of all nature, aa light upon the rosy face of the morning. But is there not a ceeper significance are there not deeper sympathies awakened, and richer fruitions In store, snd holler joys flushing the soul, when at length a long, hard winter of oppression and degradation Is losiLg its hold of a people, the cruel fetters are giving way, and a whole people, boasting-ly thought to be lost to all but brinish Instincts, are stepping forth from their hard bondage, and pressing and swelling forward to exercise the duties and responsibilities of manhood, and commencing the upward development toward the throne of God Is there anything especially new or wonderful tbst I should write thus. No but come and see. Take a steamer from New-York, fortified with a pass Indorsed with the all impor ant name of Secretary Startor, and disembark at Beaufort. Now obtain for yourself as comfortable a horse as you may, and start with me slong the thtUrooi in the days of peace bedded with oyiur-tktllt ten miles In length to the ferry now no longer paved with the tenements of these bivalves, for war absorbs all industry, and ths structures of peace must suffer wsste.

We will say nothing of heavy fortifications as wa pass beyond the picket line built on the very site of the mansion of a haughty slave-owner. As you pass on. don't let your inaulring eye rest upoa the dlsmalted highway, for it will make you sad. The beautiful hedges which lined it on either with lofty and venerable trees.sdorn- ed with their gray-bearded mosa, are all razed clean to the aiound. Noble forests fell with them fsr and wide and beautiful groves, where sweetest social comfort had been enjoyed, and had been, enjoyed still, but for that fearful avarice which seized upon the unrequited labor of others, end snugly embowered cottsges with all their appurtenances of comfort all.

all is gone. You see the naked plain, and the melt ing sun pours down upon you unhindered. And sil that no lurking-place might be left for the rebellious foe, where the sweeping tornado of shot and shell, from rifled Parrots might not rcacn mm ana nun nitu into the ravenous maw of never-satisfied war. These things are sad but pssson, all will not be sad. Out of this moral ceatn a moral Dirtn nas arisen, 01 surprising grandeur Men are dying and moldering to ashes, aad as a rrrult in oil's wonderful Providence, men are rising from death to be men, and at the same time the glorious object of the war is more than being accom pluhed.

Don't expect to rest your eye upon anything of splendor there is nothing of the kind out here, lor wsr baa left his devastating footsteps all over ttrse plantations. If your moral sympathies are not fresh and deep, and If you hare not an eye able to forecast the future, follow me no longer, for you will be disappointed. Tnere are rough and tangled thorns here, but some beautiful buds to that soul which, with God, lores to look upon the up ward development of our nature and the emancloa tion of the human faculties from galling bondrge sid depressing Ignorance. You cross the salt water bridge, and tucn sharp to your right, going almost in tre same direction in which you came sucn the undulations made by rait creeks and tidal cur rents. Finally you come to a carriage-way which formerly belonged to a pleasant plantation home you cross it, and you are on the plantation to which it belongs Edgerly.

On your right, in the distance, by tba shors of Beaufort River, is the former country residence of the proprietor that was, and the humble homes of the proprietors that are, who, two and a half years ago, were elavtt on the land they now own. Still on beyond, but in close proximity, you will per ceive a new settlement, where, last Fall, in October, was an undisturbed cotton-field, all white for the harvest. Your eye Is first attracted by a couple of white cottages arid then upon examination you will perceive eleven houses for dwellings, for the Improvement In them is such that you can scarcely call them cabins. About these dwellings are already springing up all those appurte nances which betoken comfort and an advancing civ Ulsatlon. These are framed houses, with jointed floors, and, with one or two exceptions, tbey are furnished with glazed windows, so that light and heat can simultaneously be enjoyed In their dwellings.

Many of the chimneys are of brick, but where those could not be consistently obtained, clay and moss were resorted to, and a remarkably neat and substantial chimney can be made of it, too. Most of them were unable to obtain their flooring or windows, but credit was given them on the security of the coming cotton crop, for ligh and warmth seemed so absolutely necessary to proper growth, even In a moral sense, that I told them tbey must not forego them. oear in mina tnat tnese persons are negroes; that tbey own the land on which they are settled- something over 500 acres that they purchased It with their ewn money; that tney have put up these houses by their own labor, getting the stuff oat of their own woods, with the single exceptten of the flooring! and a small part of the siding; that they commenced operations only after their crops of last Summer were mainly gathered In, or were ready for the final harvest that there la not an able-bodied man among them, every one having been examined for the draft and exempted that their land a part of the Edgerly plantation waa bought la conjunction with the Eagerly people, and was divided between the two peoples and finally between themselves without quarreling and jtnaJly that they were every one of them sieves, and, with ens exception, JUld hand two aad half years ago, when th booming of Duroxr'a guns at Hilton Head startled their rebellious masters like frightened deer, aad spoke to them of the Ions-looked for dawn of the day when unrequited labor should abolished, and labor, losing Its badge of dagradatloa should become honorable. Neither must we. If jve would wisely judge of these facta, aad safely forecast the future history of these people, weigh matters as wa wonld If our Northern citizens war under eenstderatloa, tot with them these things are nothing tnor than what we may expecl.

Hot la this aa exceptional case tor I shall speak ol a Bother people In my next wbo have not been under mv special care.

The action of the peoole under the recent order of the President allowing them to preempt twenty acres of land lb a person over SI years of age, Is a most Interesting evidence of their powerful tendencies upward. Acting under speclsl appointment, I nave In my heads seerrai hundred dollar; deposited with me by the people, to prefimot their respective lots of land whenever the Tax Commissioners are resay to receive it, these lots being almost universally on their own plantations, and their several lots selected with very little discord, their liaes ol course to be affected more or less by the survey. This movement is not as when you see now and then a sail making its war toward a desired haven under favoring gales, fcr it Is, as it were, when the sea shall be covered with white-winged vessels, eagerly moving tow ard the same place of rest. It Is a general movement, and one made thoroughly tn earnest, and one of tremendous import, too. The great body of land oa the island Is taken up by them.

much to the dlasatisfactfon of certain white parties who had come down here with the view of entering largely into the sales under the former order, and monopollzma a good portion of the land. My own people have already gone to work In preparing their land for their own cotton crops, and calculate to work It entirely with the hoe, as they are not able to buy teams and plows. I apeak now of the people on Oak Mulligan Plantation, wbo are at work oa land recently taken for preemption. They are nearly all refugees, and Gen. Saxtob has kindly agreed to fui nish them sufficient funds to secure their land, and they have gone to work heartily in order to remu nerate with cotton In the Pali.

As an evidence of what thev will do, I will state what has been done by those who purchssed last Spring. One ot my own men, who worked his Government crop or corn aad cotton faithfully, besides his own crops of corn, die, on Government land, made cot ton on his own land in addition, and has already received of me tor it in cash $100, and from $15 to $25 are yet to come. The Edgerly people have raised on tt.elr own land about 1,000 pounds ginned cotton. from which they will realize something like $1,000. And there are other cases still more favorable, but these came under my own observation and although these facts which I have stated In this letter are con cerning my owa people, still, in their general bear ing, ftiey are true of the whole Island.

At the sale of ty property in Beaufort, the sams remarkable facts were developed; andlf the people can be protected in landed rights, and can be assisted just enough to keep them guided in the right way, things inoK us 11 hey would soon nave control or tne whole iMand.a toon as they can safely be intrusted with political rights and duties, which time, la my estimation, is not far distant. One general principle only needs to be adhered to that is, ,10 allow the people, alwat'l. whether indi vidually or collectively, tjqsr care and even to compel ihtm to it, and then supplement the it mainuer. effort, properly guided, will det velop new capacity, the amount to be supplemented under discreet management, will grow smaller and smaller, until veiy soon, and almost impercfo- blv they will swing clear of all aid, and be safely launched on the steady, calm sea of self-government. But it this prophecy shall prove too sanguine, still it is our bour den duty to see to It that they are placed in a position to do all they are capable of.

But bear lu mind the astonishing fact slaves of 1661, and land- ou n'TM and occupants of their own telf-maie dwellings in 1604 A. S. 11. FROM TIIK AUMY OP THE POTOMAC. The Weather Deserters The Amnesty Proc lamation Court-martial Castes OfOcei VtssrnUee more Deserters sentenced to be Shot The Dialectic Society of Stereos- burgh.

HXADQUABTXRS AkktT OF THS POTOMAC, Friday, Feb. 19, 1864. The last few days has been a trying one for the soldier whose fortune It was to be on picket duty: those in camp found it next to impossible to keep warm, the cloth covering of huts affording but lit tle protection from the chilttng blasts. To-day the weather is more moderate, and we are again enjoy ing weather more suitable for Spring than the Winter season. Everything is again quiet on the extreme front, the enemy having manifested no disposition for some days to annoy the pickets here.

Deserters from the enemy's ranks continue to come in daily particularly from the Louisiana regiments. Nearly the whole of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Louisiana Regiments have deserted during the last month. The reason assigned by deserters for the stsmpede from these regiments Is, tbst they have a copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer containing Presi- denlLiscout's Amnesty Proclamation. Great efforts have beea made by some of the officers to obtain possession pf this contraband newspsper, but thus far, without success, it bas passed through nearly every man's hands in the regime sts, and when last seen by my Informant it was nearly worn out.

On Saturday Tilght last Senators IIowiio and Chahdlss of Michigan, Senator Wn- HSS05 of Minnesota, Representatives Kxllooo of Michigan, Killoo of New-York, and some fifty more members of Congress and others, ac companled by a numerous company of lady attendants, arrived ar- uranay station on a visit to the Third Cavalry Division.

At this point General KiLrAtaicx had in waiting for them, ambulsnces and horses, and at aa early hour the whole party were safely at headquarters in Stevensburgh. After partaking of lunch the party. accompanied by numerous cavalry ofBcra, and offi cers from the 8econd Corps, accompanied by ladies, proceeded to Dialectic HalL, where patriotic and spirited addresses were mad by Senators Howabb, Cbabblxb and Wilkxhsob, and Representatives Kxv looo (of Michigan) and Ramsat and General XLhtat- sick. All of the speakers took decided ground la favor of prosecuting Ibis war so loag as there was a man In arms against the Government, and In favor of wiping out Slaveryiat the same time. These sea tlmenta were most cordially Indorsed by the soldiers present, who manifested their approval of soma of tba most extreme views uttered, by freu sally applauding the speakers.

The proceedings over here, the whole company proceeded to Gen. Kiltatxicx's quarters, where, after partaking of a supper, pre pared under the personal supervision of Mr. Siaas, the efficient and popular purveyor at this post, dancing was indulged In to muslo furnished by Capt. Psaxnrs, amateur minstrel a late bour. The numerous party was lodged ln.th bouses and tents in the vicinity.

Sunday morning, tba Fifth New York Cavalry, Major Natlob, went through some field manoeuvres for the divert isement of those pres ent, wbo bad never been in the field before, after which the company rode to tax a look at th enemy, near Morton's Ford th seen or Gan.

Before the Second New-York Cavalry, speeches were made by Senators Bowabb and Wdjuxbob, and also by Chaplain Res speeches to th point, and which evidently mad th mB fel better.

Military movements a re active. Regiment after regiment, which has reenlisted, continues to pass through tnis city, returning to their homes for the en joyment of a well-earned furlough. Tbey have also commenced passing to the front again, with well filled ranks. Tbey ar net all filled to the maximum, but return with from ISO to 300 recruits. The cavalry regiments go back full.

It numbers only about 500, after some three or four months' strenuous ef forts to complete It- Enlistments are quit satisfao- tory. but our quota wilt not be full by the lota of March, unless tney are acceieraiea tor ue next eighteen days. We came pretty near having a Sehleswig-Holsteia Imbroglio in Chicago last week. As la well known, there is a large German population in this city, while the more northern nations, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, are stroasrlv reoresented. Th Germans ar quit excited upon the question at Issue la th Fath erland." and nave neia several poouc meetings upon tbe subject.

As is quite natural, tb Scandinavians. too, take a deep laiereat in woat is Happening in tneir native land. A Turners' Society had some kind ef public demonstration one day last week, aad while passing through a district in the North Division, al most exclusively occupiea oy sweaes, uenes ana Norwegians, got their national prejudices aroused in some way, and pitched in," and for a while serious trouble was apprenenueu. some 01 ue copier anu more influential of the Teutons Interposed, and tbe disturbance waa quelle without serious mischief being done. Tslk about tbe phlegmatic Germaa as much as you please, only speak to bun about Schleswlg-Holstein, and bo will froth aad foam equal to his owb favorite beverage.

In everything relating to the Fatherland tbe German Is quick and sensitive, although as adopted citizens they are mora pau riotie tnaa any otner ciaas 01 foreigners. The return of our veteran regimenta" makes a great deal of trouble for the Copperheads. The soidler-bovs will not stand any fooling, andwbea they meet a rebel sympathiser wbo la blatant In his treason, tbey are ia lor a fight. Sometimes they go reyond what taev have any legal or moral right. A few days ago quite a serious disturbance was evented in Oqiauka, the county seat of Henderson County.

A ne dots louna uere a nasi 01 symoauuzers, wbo not only personally Insulted them, but were iidmonthed In their treasonable expressions. Tbey did not propose to stand this, and were aetermloed that every one of the obnoxious Individuals should take the which they proceeded to administer. Finally they came across one custom' who refused, and revolvers were drawn, and ased. Out without any fatal result. A courier wss dispatched Into the country, and by the next day quit a force of armed Copperheads marched upon the town.

They were met; however, by a delegation of citizens, a parley easued, and the difficulty was arranged. At one time a serious and sanguinary fieht appeared Imminent. I have a letter from vicksoorgn 01 a recent ante. Tbe writer states that many of those who have leased plantations have abandoned them since tn withdrawal 01 our troops irorn ituimen's ueoa, Goodrich's Landing and other points, to join Gen. bhsbmab'S Anu niso mat ue cotorea people, mostly old men, women and children, have flocked to the river bv thousands, for th same reason th want of adequate military protection from the raids of the roving banda of guerrillas.

Large numbers have gone from this section to engage in the plantation business but it Is likely to prove a losing speculation. 11 tne uovernmeni ex pects to derive any revenue from this source, it should guarantee a peaceable possession to the lee-sees. Aoout sixty had come tn wbo had commenced operations on plantations In tbe vicinity of Milliken'a Send. I have also a recent latter from Natchez, from ths Chao'ain of the Fourth Illinois Cavalry. He repre sents everything quiet In that neighborhood, and that the people are more loyal there to the old flag than at any other place visited by the regiment.

He says they are received with great klnndess and confidence. aad that all that part of Mississippi wouia gladly re tura to Its allegiance, if the rebel military pressure was but removed. Intelligent men with whom ha converses all agree that the Confederacy is a failure, and that to achieve the Independence of the South la an impossibility. He does not credit th stories ef destitution and starvation, which are so frequently set afloat np North. There is plenty of corn and bacon, and lorage to laat until another harvest.

A decision of considerable Importance ba just beea made bv our Superior Court. It ta to the effect that all uasessments made In this city for the past year are Illegal, owing in th first place to the unconstitutionality of the aections of the charter under whloh they were made, aad secondly ta ititgalari-tles la the proceeaings of the officers making them. This throws many valuable and much aeeded Improvements back an entire year. We are undergoing th sams series of difficulties In regard to oar Police system which yoa have experienced la New-York. A few vaars ago, a Board of Police Commissioners was authorized by tbe Legislature, sine which time hav had an effvetiv nolle.

But tb present dominant party ta the City Government hav waa ted this department for parti-can, purposes, snd hav consequently resorted to vary possible means to demoralise it and Break it up. Tbey hav not yet succeeded, but nave maaaged to accomplish considerable mischief. Our Board of Trade ar moving to erect a magnificent bolldrng tor their purposes. Tbey have resolved to raise $300,000 for this object, and a body which can la a few months put three realmenta and a battery Into tbe field, will not be apt te fall ta tnis home enterprise. It is proposed to purchase the Fust Baptist Church property, oa the Court-house square, as the location.

Business la very active fov tb season. Tb whole-sal dry goods trade la reported ubusubIIv heavy, while the grocery business does not fail much behind. Grain is rather quiet. There ar about 4, 000,000 bushels la store here, ana tb dally receipts ar fair. Th packing season is about closed, and.

th result does not vary much from last year the hog receipts being ta Ue neighborhood of 1,300,000. Reports from tne Winter wneai districts ar highly favorable. We hav also frosa Southera Illinois reports that preparations are ta progress for planting cotton on large scale th coming season. Weather moderate. Last week very cold, thermometer raa lag frosa 10 to 17 degrees below aero, for a few days.
