OITY ADVERTISEMENTS. GENERAL ADVERTISEMENTS. [From the Louisville Journal'.] THE GRAVE OF WASHINGTON. Once I was blind to thes» tilings, but now I see that moral and mental states, the temper and the degree of intelligence, as well as physical conditions, influence the tones of the voice and the movements of the body, and also modify the features and expression of the face. Then, if we would be beautiful, move gracefully, and have sweet voices, we must look into tfec causes that hinder our wishes, and build on a sure foundation, for imitation, or any artificial mode of arriving at the results will not answer. The flimsy pretext is easily seen through, or felt to be unreal, shallow, false. Genuine grace, and melody of tone, %nd beauty of expression reach the heart because they come from the heart. Southern vs. Northern Soldier*. pould igarph from one pnd of the North to the other. The same opinion was general? ly entertained, and perhaps with a thoroughly disciplined army more of it was true than we are willing to admit; butBUct) an army the South does not and cannot iq many years possess, for as yet, with all her admirable officers, she has only a rabble soldiery. "Shoot one ont of a company of Yankees," says a Southener, "and ypt$ cap't catch the rest." The North are not a boast] ful people, but I presume it would be difi ficult to find a soldier in our army has ; not a quiet fpeling that hp can tpgs up, without much effort, at least two of the "dirt-eaters" on his h&yonet-point at once. Now, there is eyid«)tly 4 mistake somewhere-!—both be right. As is usually the casp, the truth lies in the mean. Probably a Northern and Southern soldier of equal discipline are about equal. Still, while this is true as a general statement, the writer is convinced, having had almost daily opportunities during the year to examine many of the best troops of the South, both while at drill and in encampment,that there are some important respeots in which the Northern army has now, and can always retain, a superiority over the South. It is one of the boasts of the South which has been accepted, I see, without a question, that whatever their other deficiencies they have at least a thoroughly disciplined army. Their mistake here may lie in a misapprehension of the force of words, having never been well-disciplined troops, or may spring naturally from a harmless habit of exaggeration, to which they are sometimes liable —in any case, it is an entire mistake.— With the exception of a few companies assembled at Charleston, together with somo of the best troops in two or three of their large cities, making in all from the Gulf States not 5,000 men, the forces of the South are little better than raw recruits,— There are some reasons why this should be so, aside from the fact that many of them are taken directly from their avocations, and have had no opportunity for military discipline. Any body of Northern men can in a comparatively short time bo taught to go through the ordinary evolutions of a military drill. Whatever their professions, they have always been accustomed to habits of method, precision, and uniform action. The whole habit of a Southerner's life, on the contrary, has been to disqualify him for this kind of duty. In an Agassizian classification, he would be defined as an animal with no idea of order. Everywhere thro' the South there is a dislike for what is fixed and methodioai. Even the boys will not use those games that require an obedience to rules, and which are the delight of the children of the North. UFFORD HOUSE, PITT8TON, PA.— HENRY HUFFORD, Proprietor. J. K & E. B.

It is said that sometimes high-souled men fancy such women most; a being of softness, delicacy, and sensibility seems to them the ideal of loveliness. They have strength enough in themselves, and seek in a wife only gentleness. The amiable virtues are indispensable, and yet it appears to me that a woman who does not, besides these, possess qualities that will serve her in any great emergency, a deep sense of duty, and energy to perform it, is a very imperfcct woman ; so is she who has the strong qualities without the gentle and softening ones. Gentleness and energy are entirely compatible, and Bhe only is ''a perfect woman, nobly planned," who possesses both these in the right proportions. Whoro shall wo look for such a lady ? Not in the ranks of the strong-minded women, nor yet among the giddy triflers of society; both of these depart, though in different ways, from the standard of a true , woman.

I'ittxtoii, Apr. 2ti, 1800, Some writer has said that the ladies of Haiti more are endowed with (or have cultivated) an unusual share of amiability, modesty, and cheerfulness. That they are social and domestic in character, and have those qualities which make them excellent fireside companions; and furthermore that their affability is not caught from habits of fashionable society, but from home and friendly relations. They are neither flaunting belles, nor shrewd managers, nor strongminded reformers. They are only good, intelligent, cheerftil women, happy at home, and agreeable in society, and very warmhearted and charitable. Now, I helitve this combination of the best qualities of womanhood is the sccret of the extraordinary personal beauty of tho ladies of Baltimore. It is the reflection of these lovable qualities which makes them lovely. It would be a curious matter of inquiry; perhaps the philosopher's stone of beauty lies thereabouts, who knows ? At any rate, these moral cosmetics are worth trying. Moses A. Tloppork, Will in in U. Black, Mortimer Hendricks, August 10th, 18130, No one wbo has lived in the South can have failed to have boen struck by the universal manifestation of this principle. The soldiers of the 7th Regiment record the astonishment which their cheers, delivered in unison, produced on the citizens at Richmond on their visit there. It was natural enough, for such a thing as a "three times three" is unknown south of Mason & Dixon's. As many times during the past year as I have heard a eall for three cheers, I have never heard it answered by any thing else than a confusion of sharp, short, inarticulate cries which die away only when the last man is out of breath. To be sure this is significant only as an expression of character, tho confused hoots of a Southern crowd bear about the same relation to the steady hurrahs of even a Northern mob that the general army of the South does to that of the North. As an actual fact they are not a class of men that can be easily disciplined. The best drilled companies of the Gulf States, at least, will scarcely bear comparison with the second-rate drilled troops of the North. As might be expeoted, obedience is peculiarity distasteful to them, and when, the other day, some of the soldiers at Pensacola were refused leave of absence from the camp, the high-spirited privates expressed the spirit of the whole trmy when they simply damned the officer and took the leave of absence. Another prinoiple which was found to have groat influence in the Mexican war is, that the Southern soldiers are drilled to act in small bodies (their companies rarely contain more than fifty men,) and are therefore unprepared for the united action which a general battle requires. Their real strength is in a guerilla warfare like Sumter (the revolutionary hero, not the fort); they will gain many battles by bold and unexpected attacks; but, like him,they want their swamps in the rear as a place of retreat. And this is the style of war they are preparing themselves for along the border. Already horse companies are being formed in Tennessee, for the avowed purpose of making sudden forays upon the Northern border. Reprisal, both by sea and land, is the great financial hope of the Montgomery Government. And it is expected that by midnight burnings, the ravaging of solitary villages, the spirit of the North will be most easily broken, and the exchequer of the South replenished.DU. J. M.

When I entered the room at Mrs. Doring's party last night, and heard a murmur —"How beautiful she is I" "How lovely ! How graceful 1" I looked around, involuntarily, to see who had caused these exclamations. I could not have believed five years ago (I am now twenty-two) that these epithets would ever be applied to me. Yet it teas I that called them forth. I felt a thrill of exquisite pleasure as this became apparent to ine. Not from gratified vanity, though I will not say that a love of admiration has no place in my heart, yet it has not the highest teat.- I ielt a sense of sat* isfaction at the thought that my improvement was the result of my own endeavors, assisted by the instructions of Aunt Eustace, ond that what had clicitcd admiration were but outward, visible signs of the inward harmony and purification I bad attained, that they flowed from my developed faculties and disciplined mind and passions. I do not say this in a spirit of self-boasting, but in all humility and thankfulness. And how many girls I see who might attain as high or a higher degree of excellence than I huve gained, if they would only begin in earnest the work of self-improvement, before their natures have received so strong a bias in the wrong direction that it is impossible to bend them back to tbe right way!

A New Knioht or the Garter.— While the 7th Regiment was in Philadelphia, a fine old Quaker lady, observing that one of the band was in a state of great embarrassment for the lack of a string with which to secure the mouth of his bag of provisions, observed quietly, "Friend, I would not give thee an implement of war, but thee shall have a string to preserve thy food." Then she turned partly away for an instant, and stooped down, to tie her shoe, apparently, but when she rose up she handed to the blushing blower of brass ft neat green band, that a moment before had been doing duty as a—a—a—tfell, garter.
