Dreams uually, if not al wsyj, take place la a single Instant, not ithiUnJin the length of time they seem to occupy. They are, iu fuct, alight men tal sensations, oorcgiitntpd by conscious ny; these sensations Iteing I i-M or more Intense, painful or agreeable, according to certaia physical conditions. On this sub ject, Ilia following observation occur in Pr. Wiuslow'i Ptycohjiral Jurnal: " We have in drcama no truo perccpliun of tbo lape of time a itrangc projtcrty of mind! for if such be also its prortj when eutered iulo eternal disembodied state, time will apH-ar to us eternity. The relutious of upace, aa well as of time, are also nnni b'UUd; go that whilo ahuoxt an eternity ii compressed into a moment, Infinite apace is trufiTsed more swiftly than by rcnl thought. Thero nro numerous illustrations of this principle on record. A gentleman dreamed that ho had tuliated as a saldier, joined his regiment, deserted, was apprehended, car ried back, tried, condemned to bo shot, nnd at hint led out for cxccut'o:i. A ftcr all t lie uu.d preparations, a gun was fired; he awoke with the report, and found that a nuisc in the adjoining room had, at the same motneut, produced the dream and awakened him. A friend of Dr. Aber eroHibie dreamed that he bad crossed the Atlantic, and spent a fortnight in America. In embarking, on his return, he fell iu the tea, and awaking iu the fright, louml that he had been asleep but ten ruSuutcs.'' Tf.btijio.sy fob tiik llim.it. A Roman Catholic periodical of Paris, the 7?rue det Deux Mondts, thus discourses: " Much may be said on Protestant diversities and sects, but one fuct remains certain: it is, that nations where tbo Bible circulates nnd ' is rend, have preserved a strong, deep, and enduring religious fuitb; while in the countries where it is not known, ono is obliged to deplore a moral superficiality and want of principles for which a splendid uniformity of rites cannot compensate. Iitt the learned ' theologians discuss on certain passages, ' ou the authenticity of wchand such texts; what are such mis erics, compared to tho healthful and pura atmosphere which the Bible spreads wher ever it is read, whether in low or devoted classes.'1 . Chief JcsrtCE Tasky. No wonder the Chief Justice is down on the President for disregarding tho hahtns corpus, Simon ton, writing to tho Bulletin, says: " Chief Justice Taney resides a few doors from my quarters, and the public have ubuiidnnt opportunity to know that the Judge and all bis family, except one daugh ter, are rabid seccs.sioi.ists, who mourn when the rebels sustain a reverse, aad are full of glee when success crowns, any of their movements. The retreat of Sunday last was the occasion of great joy to Mrs. Taney, and last evening the family were rejoicing at the receipt of the intelligence that one wing of the rebel army was al ready crossing the Potomac 40 miles above Washington by way of Fairfax Court Ilonse.

A crowd collected, and 1 party f men rushed in to tear down the rebel lag, kxtl it disappeared from the win dow as soon as the demonstration was made.

It is much eusier to do this than to render the service which (he militia and their officers perform. But, in truth, ignorance and presumption ride a very high horse when they attempt to shift responsi bility for the late disaster from the regular army officers. To them it belongs, and to tliem alone. Col. Hunter, alone, of the old army, seems to have behaved with con- spicuoua gallantry. Whether the battle of Bull's Hun was fought by the politicians, ns has been said, we shall not affirm, but it is certain that whoever Ion-lit it had "but littlo help from McDowell, or Miles, or any of the trained and eduuuted heroes. Aad this sort of sensation talk Is a di rect imputation upon Uen. Scott, under whose very eye the army was officered and organized. If there is any truth or Justice in it, Scott never bud any btMiuess iu the army, for lie had no military education whatever before he was made a Captain of artillery In 1809. He was nn 'empiric' and a politicinn; so were Jaeksou and Harrison; so were Hipley, Pike, and Ja cob Brown. Washington himself was no adept in war. He acquired his skill by experience, ne mow 01 no more effect ual mode of paralyzing and pulling down n Administration, than uy poioenim; the public mind with this systematic detraction of the volunteer officers. It is sheer drivel, without foundation or excuse. It has been proved, and it is a fuct which cannot be do nied, that tho whole country has been ran sacked for military ability, and every man known or believed to possess it has been invited to cater tho service by offers of high command. It is also a fuct that most of the Colonels of Regiments are graduntes of West Point. The old army when full is 15,000 strong. The number of its officers of all grades is Dre or six hundred, from Lieuteiiaut-Ucnerul to Cade ts. Hie south ern rebellion has taken off perhaps half of these. Out of the remainder the libelcrs of the Administration insist that it shall officer an nrmy of 800,000 menl Tho ab surdity of the demand is the best answer to it. Perhaps some or these political quacks who know how to conduct the war so mnch better than the President nnd Cabinet, and their military advisers, will be good enough to nomiuato their favorites for command: ns they will find all their pets of the regular army well provided for, we hardly know where they would Una the Wellingtons they rrqnirc, without descend ing among the despised militia men.

The following passago contains tho nub of the matter: There is not a man in Ohio of any party, or worthy to belong to any political party, who is not ready to uphold the General Government in nil tho efforts which it has made or may hereafter make to support the Constitution and the Union of these States, and, nlthonph as Democrats, we opposed our Republican friends in the elevation of tho present Administration to power, Vtill we recognize Its head, the Supreme Execu tive of our country, and extend to it our heartiest aid, in nil its efforts to rescue the country from impending destruction. , Now it is evident to any man who at all reflects on the present crisis, that all former political issues must for tho present be luid aside, must for a time at least be merged in more important considerations, and the energies of tho whole people of the State must be bent to the support nnd perservation of the General Government. If, then, we nil ncree on this point, where Is the necessity of separate political organ izations? . t&" Edward Everett contributes a pa per to the New York Ledger, of this week, the American Truth of Government. The following striking paragraph concludes the paper. ' E Pluribus Unum, " one formed from many," such is the third great Truth, which United America has odded to political science; tho new type of government, re conciling the strength of a great with tho freedom of a small State, and thus forming a decentralized republican empire. Seventy-two years of successful operation hayo shown the sagacity and foresight of its founders. The work of men's hands, it ex hibits the imperfections of homanity; but neither ancient nor modern times have pro duced onything so admirable in design; and till the preseat severe crisis, so successful in execution. .

They have float ed over our cradles, let it be our prayer and strugglo that they shall float over our graves. They have been nufurled from the snows of Canada to the plains of New Or leans, and to tho halls of the Moatezumas, and amid tho solitude of every sea; and ev erywhere, as the luminous symbol of irre sistible power, they have led the brave to victory and to glory. It has been my for tuno to look upon this flag in foreign hinds, and amid the gloom of an oriental despo tism, and right well do I know by contrast, how bright are its stars, aud how sublime arc its impressions! If this banner, the em blem of us, of ull .that is grand in human history; and all that is transporting in hu man hope, is to be sacrificed on the altars of a Satanic ambitiou, and thus disappear forever umid the night and tempest of re volution, then will I feel and who shall estimate the desolation of that feeling? thut the sun has indeed been stricken from tho sky of onr lives, end that henceforth we shall be but wanderers and outcasts with nought but the bread of sorrow and of penury for our lips, and with hands ever outstretched iu feebleness and supplica tion, on which, in any hour, a military ty rant may rivet the fetters of a despairing bondutre.

Mr. Johnson's history has been a strauge and eventful one. Left an orphan at an at an early age, without friends, bo was bound os an upprcuticc to a tailor, whom he served for seven years. He never attended school a day in his life, and painfully taught himself to rend by persevering nights after his daily labor upon tbo shop board. At tho age of 20 he married, and his wife taught him to write and cipher. Within two years he was chosen mayor of Greenville, where be had settled after re moving from his native State, North Caro lina, and four years later he was elected to the Legislature. In 1843, at tho age of 35 he was sent to Congress, where he re mained ten yars, when be was elected Gov ernor of Tennessee; nnd after filling the office for two years, he was chosen a Sena tor of the United States in 1857. The tailor to that of a United States Senator, were strikingly shown in the recent session of the Senate, where bis brilliant and over whelming replies to General Laae com manded universal admiration, while his manly and energetic defense of the Union gave him a claim to the gratitude and es tm nf the Free States which can never be forgotten.

Our columns had to perform tho most desperate and dangerous service that ever fell to the lot of veteran troops. How did they perform itf Is there a patriot heart iu all the land that does not exult to pive the answer nobly, heroically, uln- riouslyf Tho most of this hard servico fell to the share of our centre column, 13,000 The enemy's pickets uro driven in their advance posts full a battery is reached, and pours its ' red ruin' on the bead of this centre column. The centre column, uaduunted by the dreadful sluugliter made of its rank and file, moves ou and pii. The odds are all against them. Boldly facing cannon and musketry, our soldiers now cheer the Stars and Stripes aud rush upon the battery. They mount tho works, clamber over the muzzles of the cannon, pass tho gun carriages and bayonet the meu that huvo been standing Dchiua tneni in comparative safety, or drive them like a whirlwind before them. Again and again, and yet again this feat is performed, and tho day is wuniug, aud on the center column moves, but worn ana shattered by shot and shell, and faint from til.,oriml!.VolUiUn. It has hassed over the distance of moro than four miles of the hardest fighting ever made by troops of less than three mouths' service. The Light Brigade,' immortalized by Tenny- 60n for its daring ot Bulaklava, as having charged through the "jaws of death, into the mouth of hell," won no brighter wreath f fame than did the center column in its magnificent feats of soldierly skill and val or, from tho moment it began its march on that fatal day up to tbo period when it was enveloped iu somo foar-fuld of its own strength, and drivcu backwards from the field.' After approaching Manassas Junc tion iu the condition we huvo named, the center column was still maintaining tho un equal fight, till Gen. Johnson with some fresh troops, about seventeen thousand strong, led a charge upon their flunk they gave way retreated retreated in confusion. At no time during all tho ope rations of tho day did the column receive reinforcements numerically higher than 7,000 men. In tho meantime not less thau 60,000 of the enemy combotted them from bvhiiid their works. Is there a man who could basely insinuate a charge of cowardice azainst the bvine, tho wounded or the dead of this most noblo phalanx of noble men? The Cincinnati Commercial soys; It Is clear that our grent ormy has been repulsed In the assault npon the fortified entrench ments of the enemy nt Manassas Junction, and that after suffering heavy losses, a por tion of it became panic-stricken, and fill back in disorder upon the base of opera tions south of the Potomac. The titno has come when each loyal citi zen must stand unreservedly by tho gov ernment. Wo shall bo culled upon to make great sacrifices, and we must make them as becomes our manhood. Wo arc poor indeed in spirit if we do not stand to our flrms u7 tnn 'd lug now- 1 a"cr is to surrender an mm wo uoiuuear as citizens and as men. The sharpest trial that can prove a nntion is upon us. We must rise to tho level of this grent emer gency, or we shall sink to u condition of serfdom. All that we have and are is in volved in this contest property, charac ter, life all the fruits of the prosperous and happy past, all the hopes that make life endurable. The great misfortune of the rebel success is that it will make the war more protrocted and desolating. Peace is not tolerable or possible, until it can be made by tho rc-cstablishment in every corner of tho land, of Irgitimnto au thority. Whoever would stop short of this consummation, be it ever so costly, cither fails to comprehend tho crisis, or is brave fathers transmitted to us, and which is now imperiled. The errors and misfor tunes of the past, though great, ore not appalling; we are still masters of the situa tion, and the future is ours. We are proud to mnrk in the midst of the grief that has come upon ns, the in domitable pluck of the people.

Could uen. .McDowell have seen precisely where resistance would first b encountered he would probably have been jut there. But an army advancing lliioiich a wooded, broken country, cau tiously feeling for the enemy, Is liable to encounter them on any part of its front, aad cau neither choose nor foresee the point ol initial colhiion. The following i from the New York Post; On looking over such of tho later accounts as we have of the battle, wo tee that our wen brhavtd gallantly and nobly; stunding tacir ground like experienced troops while their comrades wero every where fulling around them; aud rindiing, win 11 the order was cjven, upon the but teries of the enemy with a fury and inijiet uosity which the rebels wero unable to re sist. Never did men confront duugcr with a mora heroic courage. Three of the ene my's batteries, while they were dealing death among our ranks, wero carried in (his manner; and the rest would havo been successively occupied by Impetuous assault, if tho number of troopa enrnired on our side had borne any proportion to thuso by which they wero withstood. It may net be out of place to mention hare a remark mndo by an eye-witness of the Crimean war In a conversation with Scnntor Wilson nnd a gentleman of this city. Mr. Mussel, of tho London Times, said to them, thut not at lnkermau nor nt any other Place during tho wor of tho Crimen, bad ho seen such brilliant and gal Innt charges as our troops uindo iu currying the batteries of the enemy. It was not until upon (ho junction of Johnston's forces with thoso of BcaiiriKard, swelling their number to ninety thouiand men, tho enemy cams pouring upon our army like n flood, sweeping us by mere force of numbers beforo them, that our gallant soldiers gave wny. They gave way, but it was not a flight it was a retreat before numbers so overwhelming that it would huvo been madness to attempt keeping their ground. They retreated as the most renowned warriors whom tho world has ever seen might have retreuted. The retreat was effected in calm and de liberate order; the panic and flight, of which so much has been made, took place only among the followers of tho army, the spectators of the battle and the straggling soldiers not in the engagement, nnd were occasioned by n sudden charge of about two hundred of the enemy's cavalry, who dushed in among tho baggage wagons. All tho whilo that our soldiers were sus taining a murderous fire, capturing the hostile batteries and waging an unequal combat with increasing numbers of their foes, they wero suffering under hurdships which would hare disheartened the boldeat and best disciplined veterans. They wero weary with a long march, the sun was pouring bis beams upon them with tropi cal fierceness,-they had tasted nothing all day but dry biscuit, and fur nino hours had not moistened their lips with water. That volnntecrs under such circnmstnnccs men wholly new to war should have behaved themselves with such steady gallantry, is certainly marvelous. Business AbPEcrs of the War How ever severe, then, the contest is to bear ou ns, we shall gain new life, new power, new dignity in it. But, whilo it is not well to undcrrnto tho diflleulties which wo mast en counter, wo need not overrate thcrti. If tho war, os wo hope, shall prevo a short one, our perplexities will be brief. If long, then business will presently revive 011 a new basis. Trade will seek new channels, following always the law of demand nnd supply. The war will givo employment in a new direction; our fanners will reap abundant returns for the products of the fields, and a comparatively short timo will see affuirs working into regular unci active routine. Tho cities of the North will have a largely increased trude, and New York will enter 011 a period of commercial pros perity hitherto unknown in her history. Who lives a few months, will witness this, and also behold the commencement of a new sccuo of hcukhful, vigorous progress. The war is not to weaken or impoverish us; it will enrich ond moke us strong, It will deplete the capitalist, and circulate his wealth among hundreds of thousands. A new energy will prevail. The nution, purged of treason, its insulted majesty vin dicated, will resume its grand march, chas tened into a divine harmony of action.
