Neuoer Sevex.— Bat if we take a thorough plunge into this subject, it will be clear that the attainment by the fourteenth prince of the age of twenty-one or two sevens becoming three — to the important fact that seven is real index of power in this ease. Now,seven isa number of great might, nad its might lives also in its multiplies. It includes the power of all its predecessors, seeing that it consists of one and six, of two and five, of three and four, whereof it is said by an old magieian to be ‘ most full of all majesty.’ It is fall also of life, since it unites the soul and hody, for the body is of the four elements and has four temperaments ; the soul is of three—reason, passion, and desire. Shall, not, then, the number that keeps body and soul together, signify long life?’ A long life undistarhed by discord, seeing that great has been found ta be the harmony resident in seven ; also is the ruling number that befits the emeny of a prince. The earliest chance of life is at a seven month's child. In seven months the born infant begins its teething,in twice seven mouths it can sit without being held, in thrice seven months it can speak, in four times seyen it can walk, and it used to be added—for in the sixteenth century chil- dren were not weaned when their teeth came —in five times seven moatha, it begins to dis- like the nurse's milk. At seven years, the male child becomes a hoy, the milk teeth fall, fall power of speech js attamed; at twice seven years, the boy becqmes a youth ; at thrice sever, years the youth becomes a man and ceases to grow taller; at four times sevem years, his hody has attained jts full nataral hreadth ; at five times seven yegrs,his strength has attained its full maturity ; at #ix times seven years, the man has learnt the right ordering and skilled use of his facul- ties ; at seyen times seven, he is ripe; and seven decades is the term of his appointed life. Meven feet is the extreme natural limit to the height of a man’s hody, which hag seven wrincipal parts. ‘That body is sustained by thing and foeding, and it used to be held that seven hours wag the limit of life witl - oat breath, seven days the jimit af life with- out food. The seventh day of a digease was held to be the critical day. There were seven Pleiades seyen planete— the moon changed by sevens in her quarters. Seven was the great number by which the iicbrews swore ; seventh years were sacred among the Jews, and seyen times a day the prophet nttered praise. There are seven days, seven ages of the world, seyen colors. it used to be said there were seven liberal, seven mechanical, and seyen prohibited arts. Home had seven hills, and seven kings, and seven civil wars. Seven was the number of the wise men of Greece. There were seven sieepers, Seven sacraments, Seyen orders of clergy, seven capital sing. There are seyen holes in @ man’s head—two at the nose, two at the eyes, two at the ears and one at the mouth.

Simply by granting the Confederates all the rights of American citizenship under the constitution, and at the | same time by proclaiming war against Eng- land and France, to punish their perfidy in aiding and abetting the attempted disember- ment of the American republic. By the ter- mination of our civil strife we will have eight hundred thousand of the best troops in the) werld ; in order to give them congenial em- ployment, and afford a legitimate field for the ambition of our generals, by directing it against a foreign foe insted of a domestic one, | and in order to weld the North and South | into a unit, a foreign war is necessary to our safety ; and none can be more just or oppor- tune than a war with England and France, by which we will inevitably drive cne of these powers out of Canada and the other} out of Mexico, and thus chastise their de pli-| city and meanness in taking advantage of our troubles. Let war, therefore, be declared against them at once, and there wiii be no longer any need of conscription ; there will be twice as many voluateers as wi'l be re- quired to me from this continent the West- ern Powers of Europe, and to teach them a lesson they will not be likely to forget for the balence of the present century. By ad- opting this policy the American republic will become greater and more united than ever it was betore, and it will hold a higher place in the scale of nations than it occupied in| its most palmy days. But unless this is! promptly done we fear that another chapter will soon be opened in our history which will find its parallel in the later civil’ wars of the Reman republic, in which its successful gene- rals wielded in mutual destruction the forces which had conquered the known world.”’ -~ me Oe A correspondent of a New York journal, writing from Vicksburg, after its occupation by the Federal forces, says :—* The greatest curiosities here gre the caves hgwn into the banks of earth, in which the women and children and non-combatants crept during the heat of the bombardment.

Poor mis- guided boy! Two men who had eaught at a fig tree to assist them up a steep embankment Jay dead at its feet, slain in all probability by an entilade fire from their right; the branch at which they caught was still intheir grasp. Some could not be reeognized by their nearest frends. Several were headless —others were armless; but the manner of their death was always plain. The minie left its large, rather clear hole ; the sbell its horrid rent; the shrapnel and grape their clear, great gashes, as though one had thrust a giant’s spear through the tender, quivering flesh. In one trench lay two grasping the same wea- pon, triend and foe. Across their hands fell a vine, the end upon the breast of the rebel, where it had fallen with them from an elevation above, the roots still damp with the fresh earth; upon it was a beautiful passion flower in full bloom and two buds; the buds were stained with blood— the flower as bright as was the day when the morning stars sang together. On the face of both was the calm that follows sleep—rather pale, perhaps, but seeming like him of old, of whom it was said, “ He is not dead, but aleepeth.” It is remarkable with what patience the fatally wounded, they who already stood upon the shore, bore their sufferings. Some knew that they could not recover, but bere it manfuly. Sometimes a tear, and a low voiee would say, “ My sweet wife,” or “ Darling,” “ Mother,” “ God forgive” —a quiver, then all was over. Let us hope that friend aud foe alike found favor in His sight, where all is well.” LOSSES AT VICKSBURG. The Cincinnati Gazette's Vieksburg correapon- dent says that during the campaign of sixty-four days ending with the capture ot Vicksburg, the rebels lost in killed, wounded and prisoners 43,700 men.

FEDERAL DEFEAT IN LOUISIANA. The New York Times has an account of the fight at Donaldsonville, La. It appears that a part of Dudley's Brigade got flanked in a large cornfield, and after a murderous fire had to wish draw. New Orleans letters state that Gen. Weitzel’s and Dudley's Brigade under Gen. Gro- ver, left Port Hudson on the eveuing of the 9th, and went to Donaldsonville to clear out the rebel batteries near there. When a few miles from there the 39th Mass. regiment in advance was suddenly attacked and 150 men killed and wound- ed, and three field pieces captured. THE OPPOSING ARMIES IN VIRGINIA. _ The Washington correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser says :— “The Army of the Potomac is back again in Virginia, and though it has the short line of cour inunication to Richmond it is not at all prohable, as stated, that it can head off the rebel army, as & glance at the map will show. Gen. Lee is now in the great Valley of Virginia, moving toward the lower Blae Ridge Gaps—Chester’s and Thorn- ton’s—with the evident purpose of reaching at as early a moment as possibie, his old base at Cul- pepper. When we consider that a long mountain range lies between the two armies, and that the rebels are many miles ahead of us in their advance or retreat, it is net such an easy matter to cut them off as is supposed. The numerous maneu- vres of the two armies in times past, over this very ground, show at once what the decisive pro- babilities are at present. There can be nothing startling for many days from these old Virginia battle fields, ualess some contingency presenta it- self, as a large rebel reinforcement from Bragg's army, when the enemy would doubtless at once turn his attention towards Manasses.” ) Already followed in Hartford, Conn., and Newark, N.

Yankees have two batteries on Morris Island and a strengthened position. majority of the citizens of Charlottetown have no wisk to make a change in the management of their Corporation affairs. To-morrow is the time ap- pointed fer the election of a Mayor and Councillors, and we observe not the least eign of an inten- tion to bring forward new men. None of our fellow citizens beyond the charmed circle of the Common Council seem desirous of entering it. It any of them has an ambition which inclines that way, they are too modest to avow it; and their aspirations for civie honours are likely tu remain ungratified. ; Is this indifference the result of contentment with our municipal institutions, and the mode of administering them? We do not think itis. Bat has been infused into the Corporation. The Tories grasped it eagerly after the first election, — it provides handsome pickings for some of their friends,—tor the sake of these friends they will keep it under their control,—they know it will not do to split up the Tory party by bringing tor- ward a new set of mes from the same side of polities,—they will :herefore keep the old men; and the Liberals feel that they are not strong enough to run a contest for the places, with any prospect of success. For this reason we have no anxiety about to- morrow’s election. If the City affaris are to be administered for the future as they have been in the past, without any improvement worthy of notice,—without deceut sidewalks, clean streets, good wharfs; with fine public squares mere nuisanees ; with an old tumbling-down market house that would disgrace the poorest village in the world; with an empty treasury, large | annual taxes, and a growing debt,—if this state of abroad, will be of incalculable benefit to our! things is to Le continued, the Liberal Party cannot But if we prove | emergoney, and teebleness and | help it. Their opponents will be alone to blame for not giving us a more Vigorous and progressive _ City Government, or uot abolishing the Corpura- tion altogether. It is quite evideut that the whole community will have to smart for at least another year under the present state of affairs ; and it is doubtful if, at the end of that time, Charlottetowa will manifest an independent aud progressive spirit. The question of “Gas er No Gas,” which was reserved for the Civic elections, may now be cou- sidered as decided in favour of the Gas Company. We are not sorry for it. It is the ouly improve- ment we are likely to have in our public streets, wherein light will be absolutely necessary, during the long winter evenings, to guide us ever the puddles of mud and snow water, heaps of filth in the squares, dangerous crossings, and still more dangerous side-walks, which are to be found in abundance in this favoured city of ours. The present Mayor publicly stated that no further as- sessment would have tu be levied for the Gas; and as the sum whic! it will cost would be entirely too sinall for any considerable improvements about the City, it is certainly better to have the light than be compelled to rope our way in utter darkness. ape THE LAND COMMISSION.
