At aboat eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, Biibop Dugnn called at the re<inest of friends to converge villi Mr. Douglas, who was then, for the first time, jrcrfcctly rational. Mr. Douglas immediately recognized the Bishop, ami expressed his gratification ol the visit. ' Bishop Dngan soon ueked : "Mr. Douglas have you been baptiz- ' «d arcording to the ritea of any church?" Mr. Douglas replied : "Never." ■The Bishop continued : ''Do you deaire to have mass said after the ordinance •of the holy Catholic Church ?" The answer was : No, sir; when I do I will communi«ate with yon freely." The Bishop then turned to Mr. Rhode* and said : "Do you think he is fully possessed of his mental faculties ?" Mr. Rhodes rer plied, "I do not know — perhaps you had lielter ask him again !" The Bishop re- 1 * prated his question. to which Mr. Doug- ! . las answered is strong, full voice-: '

I "You perhaps did not understand me | When I desire it, I will communicate , with you freely." The Bishop then* remarked to Mr. . Rhodes, "He is undoubtedly in his right mind, nud docs not desire ray offices." He then withdrew. 1 During the day (Sunday) Mr. Douglas seemed Id be much better, and strong ; hopes were entertained of his recovery ; i he slept most of the day, and in the eveIning seemed much refreshed. Mrs. Douglas and Mr. Rhodes remained with , i him during the night. At -about four o'clock on Monday morning he seemed ' i to be much worse, and sntijj rapidly ; his friends were seot for, and at the rcquest or Mrs. Douglas, Bishop Dngan ; ugain visited him. Soon after the Bish1 op entered, ho approached the bedside, . and addressing the patient, said : | "Mr. Douglus, you know your own condition fully, and in view of your ap- > prouchiiig dissolution, do you de«ire the ( ceremony of extreme unction to be performed. Mr. Douglas replied : "No, 1 have mi time to discuss these i tiling* now." '! The Bi Imp then withdrew/ A Tier lie -. had gone, Mrs Doiurlns retpiested Mr. ( Rhodes to ask Iter Imtlmnd if lie desired the ministrations of any other clergy- • | man. Mr. -Rhode* titan— said- to Mr. , Douglas : "Do y. u know the clergymen of this Cilj !" "Nearly every one of them," lie rc1 plied. Mr. Rhodes. Do yon wish to linve cither or any of them -trull to sec you to converse upon religious subjects. • . Mr. Donglns. No, t tlmnk you. Soon after this about ft o'clock, he de- , sired to have Ids position in bed Hianged, the blinds opened, and A lie 'windows raisedr Mr. Rhodes lifted hint to nn easier posture, where lie could look out upon the Street, nod drink in the fresh ' ; morning air. For a few moments he seemed to gain, new life. Then he bei gun to sink away ; his eyes partially elosed, and in slow ami measured cadence, with considerable pause between • each accent, fro tillered : t ■ "Death ! — Death ! ! — Death ! ! !" _ After this he seemed to revive slight- ■ ly, and .Mr lUiotles asked hi in whether . lie had any message to send to his moth- 1 cr, or sister Sarah, or Ids boys, "Uobhy" utid ' Stevir," to which ho made no re1 ply, evidently not understanding the . , question. Mrs. Douglas then placed ; Iter arms nrotind his neck, nnd said : "My dear, do you ypow 'Cousin , DAT " "Yes, lie replied. Mrs D.ottglos continued : "Your boys. Hobby and Sicvie, nnd your mythcr and sister Sarah — have you any njessngf: f.-r thorn 1" The dying man retdied: "Tell" diem to o'«y the laws and support the Constitution of the Uuiled States." At about five o'clock Dr. Miller came into tho room, and, noticing tbo open ' shutters and windows, inquired 1 ; "Why have you alt these windows ' raised and so much light ?" Mr. Douglas replied : "So that we can have fresh air." At Mr. Douglas' request, Mr. Rhodes changed the dying man's position again in the bed for the last lime. He now lay rather down in the middle of the ' bed, upan his left side, his head slightly ' bent forward and off the pillow. His • wife sat beside him, holdiug his right httid in both of hers, and leaning ten- ' derly over bim, sobbing, Mr. Rhodes remarked to Mrs. Douglas — I am afraid lie docs not lie comfortable in reply to which* Mr. Douglas f said : "Ho is — very comfortable." I These were hi* last intelligible words. - From five o'clock lie was speechless, but ■ ^ evidently retained hia consciousness ( Wbeo, a few moment* before bis death,

J his wFfe leaned lovingly over him , s wild aobbingly asked, "Husband, do yon ' know me ? he raised- his eyes and smiled . and though too weak to speak, the movet inents of the muscles of his mouth ' evinced that lie was making an almost dying struggle to comply with her request, llis death was calm and peaceful ; a r lew faint breaths after nine o'clock ; a slight rattling of his throat ; a short - quick, convulsive, shudder, nud Stephen " A. Douglas had passed from time into i eternity. — Chicago cor. Herald. r CROMWELL'S DISCHARGED SOLDIERS. I Immorality and irrcligion are among > the great evils of war. Knowing this, - ovcry Christian should be most diligent, 1 not only in prayer for the soldiers, nnd • in furnishing them with religious privi- , . leges iu the camp, but in cherishing a strong and enlightened public rclig1 ion* sentiment. Public sentiment is a • powerful stimulant to moral principle, B ns well as to patriotic tei'ling. It hence , • becomes the whole Christian community . , to frown upon Sabbath day parades and displays. . c A country sometimes suffers immensely ufle^a war is over, from the murders, e robberies, thefts and other dcpriuialions . and iinntoralties of its owll discharged J soldiers. The principles ami Imbiu of - the camp follow, or rather accompany, . lUameu tliruMitc. In this aspect of the case, it becomes not only Christians who • fed for fiiyiTs immortal welfare, but it ; becomes nil who have personal interests - at stuke, nil who baro property or families to preserve, to see to lit* character • of the camp. a Cromwell kept up religion i:t his army lie hud chaplains, prayers, SabImths, preachings. Bibles, psalm -liooks ; • ami wfrliul the brurest men thai ever - went into battle. And after their res turn to private life, history, in recording a their heroic deeds, bears iiis testimony t to their moral worth-* It '"Fifty thousand num. accustomed to e the profession of anils, were ul onco - thrown on the world. Itiufuw months y there rcntaiucil not n truce indicating • that the most lormidnlde army in toe i world had been absorbed into the mass or the coniuoity.— the royulisls themselves confessed that in every depart- ! - mcnt of honest industry, the discarded i r warrior prospered herond other men, j - that none was charged with any theft . " or robbery, that none was heard to ask - an alms, and th't, if a baker, a mason, e . or a wagoner, attracted notice by his j ; diligence and sobriety, he was in all probability one of Oliver Cromwell's i soldiers." TOBACCOAFOETO MATRIMONY. One of our exchange* inquires with much alarm, "how is ii_^hal there are J so many nice young girls in our cities u ' itunuirried, nud likely to remain so." I Our answer is composed in oue word — ■ j Tobacco. In old times, wliemroti could j • | approach ayuang man within a whisper3 ing distance, without being nauseated j by hi* breath, ho used, when.' hi* day'* 1 o work was over — to spend his evenings u with some good girl, or girls, rather | around the family hearth, or !n pleasant s walks, or at some Innocent place of ntuusrrarnt. Tho young matt of the present day take* hi* solitary pipe, and puff* away all his vitality till ho i* a* s stupid ns an oyster, and then goes to n some saloon to quencli the thirst created ; v by smoking ; ana sheds crocodile tears , e every time his stockings are out at the j y toes, that "tho girls uow-a days ore so s extravagant a fellow can't afford to get it married." Nine out of ten deliberately 1 i- give up respectable female society to ini- ' dulge the solitary, enervating habit of smoking, until their broken down con- i l- I siitulions clamor] for careful nnrsing ; ' s | then tbey coqjly ask some nice young | \ girl to exchange Iter health, strength, j \ beauty and unimpaired intellect, for j i. ! their saltuw face, tainted blood and ! it : breath, and irritable temper -,nd itubc- - cility. Women may well bate stuokiug i, J and siuoLit:. We hate kuowu the uo»l j

gentle and refinerl men grow harsh iu i temper, and uncleanly in their personal | haVuv under the thraldom of n tyranny ' whrdi they had not love or respect , enough for womeh to break through. STEAM BATTERIES. The probable expedition down the ! Mississippi, ami the operations in connection with the recapture of the forts, will,' in due liini, give great importance j to steam batteries, which are of coin- , pnratively modern invention. No less1 than 40 of such craft were built by J i England and France, to serve ns auxil- ! I lories to the Baltic fleet, iu their war with Russia. They were nearly 2.000 ' tons burthen, flnt-hottomrd, with round stent and stern, 180 feet extreme length, ;> i in width, nud 20 in depth, each being propelled by horizontal engine* of 200 botse power. They had two decks,,, the upper bring bomb-proof eight inches thick, and tho lower the lighting deck. The batteries were perfectly in* cased with nearly 700 tons of wrought iron slabs, each slab* I inches thick, 12 inches broad, nud 1 1 feet in length The test tli sc slabs underwent showed that they were capable of resisting the heaviest shot in use. Similar structures, would prove* of immense service iu our present war. A single battery of this kind in possession of the government .-urjiuLl have made the reinforcement of ? Fort Sampler a umttur of entire ease, ; ' ni any period 'of its investment.— World. WHY DON'T YOU ADVERTISE ? To business men who are complaining > of the severity of the limes, we address ' this inquiry : Why don't you advertise ? It is just the tiling to help you out nt ; your difficulties — to bring you patron- ; age. — There is no mistake about it ; the ' fuel has hid tiuiiiy demonstration within ■ the circle of your iilrservation during ' the hist few years. If you can ollVr the public any advantage to make their pur- • clresesof you, lose no time in informing them of the fact. Do not speak of dull times. Stephen Itirard preferred to ad- ' verlise during dull times, lie has said : | when so ninny others tightened their ' , purse strings " nn-l ceased advertising, . j Stephen took greater pains to proclaim | his business nnd inform the public that | he was still prepared to offer them in- ' ! ducevnents. In some cnscs after a man ' j has ordered his advertisement to be dis j continued,, wc have heard the question ' j asked,, whether such person lias not reI tired from business ? There is something unreasonable about such a question iu ' these days; people consult advertise j inents more than yon think. ( PATRIOTISM. We give the following proof ihnt even the ties of blood arc forgotten in , the fcrvenby of the common devotion to the national flag : A" aged gentleI ' men — of Jewish extraction — living in a ; neighboring city, has two sons — one an I officer in a I'cuusylvatiia regiment, nnd | tho other, an officer in the rebel army. ( The latter wrote to the father a few . ' days since, advising him that he had ta ^ ken up arms for the South, ami that lie j- proposed to enrae north with hit* com , mund nnd light the abolitionists. This I was too much for the equanimity of the , parent, lie replied to his disloyal son , substantially as follows*: "I have hot j two children in the world. One of them , # ha* gone forth to defend the flag of his ! country. Von arc fighting against that ! , flag and conspiring against the government. I disown you. No traitor shall l»e*r my name 1 have lint one hope left, which Is that if my loyal son goes f ; to battle the first bullet hu ahull scud _ . against the enemy may pierce you to {the heart!" If the Jew can feel thus, how roust if be with the Qenlile ? . The Chamber of Commorc* of New r j York has resolved lo present a suitable 1 ■. medal to each and all of M*]or Anderson . | and Lirailonant Sleiumer'* command* in - I senice at Fort Sumter ami Fort I'icken*. — * I J —Subscribe to the WA\ E. , # I
