[Written for Moore's Rural New-Yorker.] 
ABOUT SLEEP AND EARLY RISING. 
Among the many readers of the Rurai, some have 
raised large families, and are men and women of 
good sense and large experience, whose views on the 
subject of early rising or of sleep might benefit us 
all. Reliable authors and physicians have dis¬ 
cussed the subject, and laid down general rules. 
But some people never read books, depending on 
newspapers for information, and some people are 
never to be convinced that anything is good or right, 
or any plan is to he pursued, or any food cooked, 
which they have not proved, or followed, or eaten. 
Perhaps no one doubts that early rising is more 
promotive of health than sleeping away the best 
hours of day. But are these not conditions to be 
considered? Before you rouse the sleeper, put on 
yonr reasoning and thinking C3p. If a person is in 
perfect health, and goes to bed at early and regular 
hours, and nothing disturbs his or her rest, they can 
wake and rise with the sun in the longest days of 
summer. But if the person is feeble, nervous, dis¬ 
eased, or broken of rest by restless children, or by 
any cause, and happens to fall into a refreshing sleep 
toward morning, must they he rudely roused, and 
driven up because it is daylight and the morning air 
is healthful? A mother, for instance, who perhaps is 
not diseased at all, but is kept awake two-thirds or 
half of the night for months together by a fretful and 
sickly babe, until she has grown thin and pale as a 
ghost, if she ever gets asleep, must you wake her to 
hear the birds sing and see the sun shine? 
Again, must children, who are growing rapidly, be 
allowed to sleep in the morning? Horace Mann, I 
think, who was pretty good authority, and devoted 
many years to the study of the mental and physical 
conditions of children, said that children will not take 
more sleep than their natures require, and should not 
he wakened; and that sleep is better medicine for the 
sick, or weary, or feeble, than food or air, provided 
they sleep where the surrounding air is kept pure and 
healthful. Children of very active temperaments, who 
play or exercise all these long days till dark, and 
who ate growing fast, too, should they he driven up 
early, or be allowed to take all the sleep they will? 
Or, should they, at least, sleep a couple of hours, or 
so, hmger than adults? Some people cannot have 
any mercy ou children, and expect juntas much labor 
and judgment from them as from grown up men or 
women whose bodies are matured. 
Please, some of you who can, express some opinions 
on this subject for general edification of all con¬ 
cerned. _ Queechy. 
SKELETON CANNON. 
Mu. J. A. DeBrame, of New York, ha3 lately made 
some interesting experiments with a cannon, having 
six revolving chambers and a skeleton, or ribbed 
barrel. Four of the chambers aro always open to 
the air, so that each has Bullicient time for cooling. 
The barrel is fixed, and to secure its ventilation the 
inventor has, as he states, hit upon a very strange 
device. The object of the barrel being chiefly to 
give direction to the shot, he supposed it was un¬ 
necessary to have it closed; he, therefore, retained of 
the barrels only tho bars which constitute the rifling 
of the cannon, keeping them in their place by sur¬ 
rounding them at proper intervals with rings. These 
bars give the same direction and revolving motion to

will bo fonnd. How it is discovered the counters 
cannot tell you. It is a sort of iustinct with them, 
and they are proud that, after years of practice, they 
have never yet been deceived. These gold pieces 
look and feci all right to you, and would pass current

promptly replaced. 
All this money and that received from individual 
depositors, is placed iu a room-like safe, properly 
counted, wrapped up and labeled. The cashier 
flings open a cupboard door and says “there is thir¬

cupboards there are hundreds of thousands more, 
and bars and hags of silver and gold lio scattered

that a public newspaper belonging to and advocating

Gen. llosecrans travels with a “telegraph wagon ” 
at, the head Of his train, containing ladders, tables, 
wire, instruments, and everything necessary for im¬ 
mediately opening an office anywhere. Tho whole is 
in ohurgo of a confidential operator, acquainted with 
the Government cypher; and the General no sooner 
orders a halt than the wire is cut, the connection 
formed, and the operator commences receiving the 
reports from all parts of tho extensive department, 
and the orders from the War Office at Washington. 
The army telegraph lines follow the common roads 
to the principal points in our possession through tho 
country, and a strong force is ready to stretch up the 
wire as the army moves forward. A letter from Gen. 
Roseorauw* party, in his present march along the line, 
dated Weston, says: 
“ Hardly had the ground for the encampment been 
selected till a table was set out by the roadside, under 
the telegraph Hue, the wire was cut, a connection 
was effected, and the confidential operator (Mr. 
Brown, of Lafayette, Indiana,) was culling Clarks¬ 
burg for dispatches, and receiving orders from the 
War Department, and reports from tho Kanawha, be¬

Mountain Pass, and number about eleven thousand

Recent events coming home to our own State, says 
the Wilmington Journal, hovering over our own 
coast, threatening our own homes, approaching our 
own doors, will go far to show whether we were 
panic-stricken when wo appealed so strongly for the 
construction of efficient, works for the defence of our 
coast. Over and over again have we sounded the 
alarm, until we made ourselves odious to the compla¬ 
cent head men about tho Capitol a thing which 
we regretted, but for which we did not reproach our¬ 
selves. Can those who so vehemently did not like 
our course say that they have nothing with which to 
reproach themselves? If they do, who will beliovo 
them? 
The Ooldsborough Transcript admits ignorance of 
the designs ofthe enemy, but says “ if they intend to 
demonstrate an invasion, let them come, if they oau, 
we say—the Confederates will teach them how to go, 
as they have in every case of conflict, of any impor¬ 
tance, since the first inroads of the ruffianly host. 
They have the advantage of ub in the marine, that 
may skulk about the coast and annoy us—but let 
them come in contact whenever they dare, and we 
have no fears for the result. This event will perhaps 
give our hoys something to do, who are ready and 
anxious to do something. 
The Ncwhern IVews evidently thinks “tho boys 
who are ready and anxious to do something” will 
have a chance, and calls upon the Carolinians thus:— 
Men of Eastern Carolina, arouse! We have warned 
you heretofore, but many of you heeded not. Now 
your property, your homes, and your families are in 
danger! Come, to your arms, and drive the invaders 
from your soil. A little preparation might have 
saved this disaster; but now it is too late, and we 
must make the most of it. Let the militia be called 
to aid the regular forces, and if the Hessians dare 
advance, let ns make them rue it. Wo can, we must!
