Ax we now meet for toe lust lime, it is

the last five yearn; lor it is onl) hy taking
a connected view ol a period oi years that
a correct imlg Tient can bo tormed of the
Consequent s, irit wilh which Ihe :.ffairsot

Il is a usual thing lo suspect in the acts
of sovereigns some secret motive or some
mysterious combination. Yet my policy
has always been simply lo increase the
prosperity of France ami her moral prepon-derance
without abusing and without weak
.. ig ihe power placed in my hand-; to
maintain abroad, nil Inn the limits of right
ami ol treaties, '.he legitimate asp rations of
nations toward a belter position; to de~cl-opour
commercial relations with those
countries towards wiiich we are drawn
closer i»y a greater community of interests:
to erase lrom diplomatic parchments the
olu questions ol litigation, so as to obviate
ail pretexts of misunderstanding; to in
sisi finally, upon a full reparation for any
insult offered to our Hag, for any prejudice
againsi our countrymen.

I have been enabled lo carry out these
principles.

During the years recently passed I have
been enabled to have personal inteviews
w ih most ol the r. igning Sovereigns, and
f'ruin those inlerviews Inendly relations,
have arisen, which are to many guarantees
for ihe peace of Europe. This peace cannot
he disturbed by ihe events which have
just taken place in Greece.
This bin fsketch ol the past is a guaran-tee
lo you for the lui ure, a., d, despite the
pressure ol counteracting events and •>!
opposing opinions, 1 hope thai you will
admil that I have always unflinchingly
followed the same line ef conduct. As
more particularly regaids our positions at
home, 1 have endeavored, on the one hand,
by a complete amnesty, to obliterate, as
far as i could, ihe remoinorance of our civil
discord.-; and, on the oilier hand, to in-crease
ilie importance of the great bodies
ol the State.
I have called you to take a more direct
purlin ilie Government. 1 have given to
your deliberations all ihe guarantees
which freedom of discussion could claim.
I have relinquished a perrogalive, hitherto
deemed indispensable, so as to allow the
Legietatiee Body to control the expenses
in a more absolute manner, and give more
solidity lo the bas.s upon which public
credit reals.
To reduco our expenses, the army and
navy estimates have considora ly dimini li-ed.
The floating dobi has been reduced,
and l»y the success achieved by the conver-sion
ol the Rentes a great step has been
laken loward the settlement (unification)
of thai debt. Tne indirect revenues show

Measurement ofCorn Crlba-
RULE WHEN THE CttiB IS FILL.
Measure tho inside length and width of
theciib, else the perpendicular height of
the body of the same, in inchos. Multiply
these dimensions together, and divide the
product by 2150.40, or 2150, wh>cli is
sufficiently near for practical purposes.
Tnis resuli. will ^ive tae number of bushels
of shelled corn, which U-e body of the crib
would contain. It the corn is in the shuck,
divide the quotient obtained, by 3; it in
tne ear, by 2 Then to obiain ihe number
ol bushels, which the roof would contain :
measure the perpendicular height of the
roof, in inches; also, ibe length and width
of the crib, in inches. Multiply these di-mensions
together, and divide their product
by 43U0 8-10, or 4300, and again divide tho
quotient by 8 or 2, as mentioned above.
Add the number ol bushels in the body ol
the crib, to those in the roof, the result will
he, the number ol bushels contained in the
crib.
EXAMPLE—Suppose tho length of a crib,
to be 180 inches, its width 144 inches, and
the hei«ln ol the body of the ssmo 108
inches." The numbers multiplied together
give 2.799.360 cubic inches, wh-ch divided
by 2150 4-10, the number of cabic inches in
a bushel, which is the standard, both in
America and England, and we obtain 1302
bushels neatly the quantity of shelled corn,
which the b< dy of tlie ciihs would contain.
If the corn is in the shuck, there would be
one-third of 1302 bushels, whb h is 434; if
in ihe ear, one-hall of 1302 which is 434 ;
if in ihe ear, one-half of 1802, which is 051
bushels.
Also, suppose the height of the roof to be
96 inches. This number multiplied by 180
and 144. ihe length and widih of (he crib,
and we obtain 3 488 320 cubic inches, which
divided by 4300 8 10, (which is twice 2150
4-lo, because the ro.-f is a half ol a square,
thai is a triangle,) gives 578 bushels, shelled
corn, which the roof would contain. Di-vide
578 by 3, we obtain tho number of
bushels iu ihe shu- k. which the roof would
contain, or divi le 578 by 2, and we obtain,
the number of bushels in the ear. Add
1302 and 578, and wo obtain 1880, ihe
number ol bushels of shelled norn, lhat the
body and roof would contain. Add 651
and 289 and we obtain 940—the number of
bushels in the ear, and add 434 and 192
2-3, and we obtain 626 2 3 bushels in the
shuck.
If the crib is not full draw the corn to a
horiz "Dial position. Then measures the
length and wi.uh of the crib, und the height
of ihe com in inches Multiply an 1 divide
MI I lie s one manner, an in finding ihe con-tents

c;en. Joseph Hooker
The new commander of the Yankee
"Army of the Potomac" was born in Mass-achusetts
about the year 1817, and is con-sequently
about 46 years of age. His
antecedents are given as follows in a Yan-kee
paper.
He entered West point in 1833, and
graduated in the artillery in 1817 Al tho
outbreak of the War with Mexico he accom-panied
Brigadier General Hamer as Aid-tie-cimp,
and was brovetted Captain f> r gal-lant
conduct in soveial conflicts at Monte
rey. In Ma.ch, 1817, he was appointed
Assistant Adjutant General, with tbsra k
of Captain. At the National Bridge he
distinguished himself, and was brevet ted
Major; and at Chapultepee he again attruc
ted attention by I isgalluut and meritorious
conduct, and was bievened Lieutenant
Colonel.
At the close of the war with Mexico ho
withdrew from ihe service and soon after-ward
emigrated lo California. The out-break
of the reiiellion .'ound him there, and
he was one ol the first of tho old VVcsi
Pointers who offered his services lo the
Government. He was one of tne firi«t batch
ol Brigadier Generals of Volunteers appoin
ted by President Lincoln on 17th May,
1861; and was, on his arrival placed i.i
command of a brigade of the army of
tho Potomac and subsequently of a
division. From July, 1861, to Februaiy
1862, he was stationed in Southern Mary-land,
on the north shore of the Potomac his
duty being to prevent the rebels crossing
iheriv.r, and to amuse them with i.ucir
river blockade while McClellan was getting
his army into trim. This difficult duty be
performed admirably.

Col. Imbodeii, git iug an account of his
expedition in Western Virginia, relates the
following:
" On the9th instant, I halttd near sunset,
by a log cabin, in one ol ihe wildest gorges
on ihe dry foi k of Cheat IJiver. An aged
mott er a ill several daughters were the
only members ol ihe family at home. The

on a charge of being a rebel, and an only

THE CIRCASSIANS AND RUSSIANS.—Tae
history ol the conflict between the Circass-ians
and Russians, in the indomitable reso-lution
ol the latter, afford many features of
encouragement to all people engaged in a
struggle for their independence. The
Circa-Miars inhabit a mountainous country
and in their almost inaucessablo fastnesses
many a Russian army has perished. A
late letti r in a London paper thus relates
some of ibe exploits ol their successful gal
la* try:
By a letter received from Constantinople I
we learu that Ihe Circassians have fought
six or eight times against the Russians,
and have laken possession of from eigh'i lo
ten forts. Afterwards three Russian aleain
ers from Obokh, with a gnat number of
soldiers, arrived lo attack t*»e Circassians
The Russians finding liicm in force ill ihal
d*lfClioii were obliged to reiire wilh ihe i
loss ol three-fourths of their number. A
small vessel from Trebizond, wilh seventy
Circassians, about tore! urn to I heir homes,
was captured ihe other day by a Russian
steamer and conveyed lo Soukoum Kale, I
where the men were imprisoned. Hadji i
Kiiandoug Bey got ready *J20,0OO Circass-ians
to rescue ihem and attack ihe place. |
Hamil Bey, an Arabian Prince, and Gover-nor
ofSoukoiiin Kale when he heard this, I
went to ihe Rii»-ian c mmander ami told
him that if Hadji Kiiandoug came, he
shou d bo obliged to join hire, bui advised
him 10 avoid the attack by giving up tho
prisoners. The Russian nommander asked
I u-ked for corn to feed over 300
horses. Tho old lady said thev only-had
a litlle, raised hy heiselt and laughters,
but thai I A as welcome in lake it if 1 need-ed
il—I look half she had and paid her
for it, when she seemed t > doubt the prop-riety
of receiving money from a Southern
soldier, as she thought it a duly lo give us
what we wauled, tier son's company was
not along and she did not see him. The
eldesi daughter said, ••Colonel, tell brother
we are all well and doing well. VVe expect
our pa will soon be released fr >m Camp
Chase and come home. Tell him to be con-tented
in the army, and write to us if he
(tan.
••If we had known that you were coming
we would ha«0 had bis winter clothing
ready lo send to bun, but we will have no
other* hanco when y ou leave. Tell him wo
girls made eunuch corn lo do us, and have
got a plenty of meat. We have caught
five largo Bears in a pen and have
salted them down for winter. Tho Yan-kee
Sheriff came along with five soldiers to
collect the laxes and wanted to take the
mar..-, but we had s >ld ihe bear skins for
money enough to pay him, and I hope us
the last time wo will ever have to pay Yan-kee
laxes." On my h nor, as a gentleman,
this incident is liieral'y iruo und detailed
exactly as ii occurred.
1 thought as I iode away into the wilder-ness
that the siiiplmg soldier, but 17 y ears
ol age whose home I had just lefi, would
hereafter in the eyes of a just and impar-tial
posterity have u prouder claim to
honor than tho son of anv heailless
speculator, though he inherited millions ol
a father's ill-gotten gains."

RECIPE FOR MAKING CORNED REEF.—"A
correspondent of I he Savannah Republican
gives tho following recipe lor mating
corned beef: S'.i soon after butchering the
beel as is convenient,cut il into such sised
pieces as you desire, and sprinkle will
salt and lot it lie and drip till all ihe ani-mal
heat is gone. For 100 lbs. of beef,
tuke 4 02. of saltpetre (pmnded finely)
and 4 lbs of brown sugar—all well mixed.
Sprinkle this compound thin.y over the
bottom of the barrel, and put down a layer
of beef Over this sprinkle the compound
again, then put another layer of beel, and
Continue to do so, till the barrel is filled
allowing a large amount of mixture of salt,
saltpel re etc., to sprinkle over the top lay-er.
Put heavy weights on the top of the
beef, and be sure always to keep ihe top
layer covered with sa't."
How To MAKE A GOOD ARTICLE OF COFFEE.

an equal quantity. Roast Ihe same togeth-er.
The corn will all hop out, and what
remains will be unadulterated coffee.
