This information is from a gentleman of; integrity, THE IMPORTANCE OF LABOR, I i Many of our young men and young women seem loth to go to work.

Too many, young men are looking for clerkships, or for BQmethbg to happen by which they can live without manual labor. Young you are burning, wast- ing precious daylight, You will have to work, and the sooner you begin the better. A population will soon crowd in here, from the North! add from Europe, that will outstrip you, and leave you us drones in the great hive, unless you go to work now. By beginning wow you can place yourselves in ajjsituatron to compete with the population referred to; but if with, your habits, and jour ideas of labor, you wait until that- population p'ours in, and you then. 1 Frora the New York World.

MAGNANIMOUS TEMPER OP THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE. The bearing of the southern people under their defeat and the immense loss of property involved in the emancipation of their slaves, is more generous, manly, and self-respecting than we had any reason to expect. From tne Potomac to the Rio Grade; there is not a guerrilla band, nor any demonstration of resistance to the federal authority. The influential statesmen of the South, and their trusted military leaders, are disposed, to.a man, to acquiesce in reunion nod make the best of the situation. General Lee, whom the southern people revere, is an open applicant for pardon and lends his weighty example to a sincere and faithful submission to rte laws.

General Johnston, who stood next to Lee in southern consideration, has publicly given as rational advice to his fellow-citizens as could have been dictated by the ttanchest who traveled with the party, and who arrived at Ringgold Barracks on the 5th ipst. Ex- Governors Moore and Allen, of Louisiana, and- Murrah and Clark, of Texas, and a number of take only an even start with it, you will be left lesser dignitaries, are in the party. hopelessly behind.

The ieire to leave a country which has been reduce! to ueb a deplorable condition as' ours, au whoe future has so little of hope, is doubtless a wide spread as it is natural.

But I doubt the propriety of this expatriation ofsomanyof hit bet men. The very fact that our State is piing through so terrible an ordeal as the present, should cause her 69ns to cling the more timely to her. advicer to all of my fellow 'citizens that they shoufiTdevote their; whole (acrgie to the restoration bf law and order, the ts-caulliihment of agriculture and commerce, lie promotion of education and the rebuilding tf car cities and dwellings. which have been laid in a-hes. To accomplish objects the (iocst that patriotism can conceive I f-ecom-fLtui that all who can do so should tale the oath of allegiance to the United States' Government, so that they tuay participate in the resjo-ririon of civil government to our State.

War, titer four years of. he'roic but unsuccessful ftruggle, has failed to secure to us the1 rights for which we engaged in it. Tosaveaoyof cur rights to rescue anything more from the general ruin will require all the statesmanship od all the patriotism of our citjzens. If the eft men of our country those who for years pst have risked, their lives in her defence retire td take the oath, they will be excluded from tie councils of the State, and its destiny will be committed of necessity to those who forsook her in bcr hour of need, or to those who would glad- ing intelligence of. the capture ofjGeu.

Poor young men, strug The victors got four pieces of aTtillery, nine hundred new rifles, and a train of seventy-five wagons loaded with ammunition and provisions. The officers and men were paroled.

The southern newspapers are almost universally conducted in the same admirable and manly There is no contumacious sulleness, no captious refining on the Constitution, no refractory assertion of state sovereignty, no batsh criticism of the policy of President Johnson, none of the hasty tone of self-assertion once so characteristic of southern public men.

And yet there is nothing servile or craven in the general tone of acquiescence and submission. It is the simple manifestation of good and manly feeling, which accepts the inevitable without womanish petulence, and seeks, in a straight forward manner, to adapt itself to the actual situation. As Americans, the South has given us no reason to be ashamed of our countrymen. I They Grande, opposite to Bagdad. The Mexicans under Maximillian guard the opposite side and our troops this.

If, after an honest effort to effect these objects, we fail, terday had an interview with President Juarez, and promised him the assistance of the United States troops, and had ordered the 4th Indiana regiment to cross the river. General Steele, the department commander, went up by a dispatch boat to counteract the, order if possible, but made, to be sure, a terrible mistake in going into this contest, but once in, they bore themselves with a resolution, gallantry, -persistence, and fidelity to each other, which did no discredit to their public spirit and soldierly qualities.
