Control of Temper. From tbe Saturday Review. Absolute control of temper has often been set forth' iu books as if it were the one quali ty of exceptional value which enables bim who possesses it to govern the world and win to his side friends and foes alike. Now, the first statementrequires to be taken in a very modified sense, and the last is more frequently falsified by experience than not In Parliament undoubtedly, perhaps more than in any other place, self-control ia appreciated and rewarded, and the want of il resented and punished. A man in an ill-humor can rarely take a hint even of the broadest kind, and when temper obscures tact, and hints are found to be ineSeetual, ignominious defeat is not far off. Self command there is simply an in calculable advanUge which often compensates for yery considerable defects f without M tne xooat bdnest s rtrn-o brilliant member is at the mercy of every clever opponent who can lodge an arrow be tween the joints of bis armor, unqueauou- ably an irritable disposition in an infirmity which often besets very noble natureevnun the more exaulted the position of the man tbe creater the pleasure ot mating mm me object of a successful attack.

In an argu ment, especially when conducted with any ,j,. nt wviihlicitv. a man may as well lose hia ton cue as his temper.

''There lowed from him P unceasing flattery of those he liked, (and be never a-rn aompany with anv else.) bu it was the kindly com mendatioo of ft lover, not tbe adulation of veoobant" At regards the exhibition of natural wralb there is one distinction which should alwayi be observed. Something may occasionally be rained bv betas angry with men, but with as inanimate thing never. H who fails to pootrol Ae temper, er who even Snds much fUbrt Bewwary to do It, with regard to complisbed facts' and matters which once transferred into, the realm of the past are ntterlr bevund hia control, has an intracia- ! bility of intellect or nature on which advice would be spent in vain, w itn respect 10 me control of one's temper towards women it is m possible to be too magnanimous ana gen erous in theory with what custom persists in terming the weaker sex ; but ir is in practice losing game, and one not often played, though not perhaps for ' that reason. Ex cessive control of temper in a man is then telt to argue a want of capacity for wratn. Now the feminine mind prefers the oriental conception of a god aeiiy wbe- is jealoue, who hatea and repent, who listens or closes his ears, who is to be propitiated ana can oe provoked to a Buddha sittiag motionless and watching tbe world go round. ' More-aver, that endurlnsr - and perpetual patience whwh.-aa apparenUn.wo jus,oimps. -. - . . patnetio siae, seems to m ios bju kiukt thing not only unnatural but often distinctly exasperating. It ia dangerous to say or even silently to endeavor to convey an intimation to some people that there is one thing which they cannot do; lor it that one tning oe 10 put you out of temper an unholy ambition will immediately arise in them to accomplish it at any cost and by any means. Never to show either pleasure or annoyance is an ap proach to monotony ; only to testily pleasure is a weak and one-sided proceed ng ; and, on the whole, we are disposed to bold that a natural and healthy explosion of even im perfectly justifiable wrath is often attended by the happiest results. The ebullition, however, ought to be of a premeditated and governable kind ; not that a man should ar range to get into a rage and have a domestic storm on such and such a day, but rather that he should agree with himself that tbe next time a certain circumstance occurs, or a particular sentiment is expressed, he will do well to be angry, and being so to show ii within limits laid down beforehand, borne- imes. indeed, he will find it necessary to lash and work himself up into the required paroxysm, as when . Jean Paul makes Siebenkas Leibgeber, "when he had resolved to carry out a certain purpose, to wit, the pawning of a striped calico gown," "foresee that be would have to grow unusually warm, and therefore when Lenette began to weep and wail over her hard fate, which left ber nothing, not even her dress, be replied, "Heavenly, good, gentle devil, come and break my neck ! Now, may God be merciful to such a woman." There is, again, as regards friendship among men, and more particularly between men and women, a some what abstruse principle, in virtue of which worldly policy would forbid the striving to acquire or exercise under the inevitable trials of a close and intimate intercourse an imperturbable composure or a too conspicuous perfection of temper. To smother your resentment, to postpone the consideration of your injuries, to give sweet words for bitter and wise for foolish, to be blind to faults and dbtf to provocations, only in the end to see all other treated with more indulgence and thought fulnfss than you are, because your patience is proven and your long-auffeiing is renowned, is often tbe reward and it may be the jast reward for your ewn conduet w e are, of course, assuming that this sweetness of temper is not natural, but the ultimate result of long and difficult effort In such case this line of conduct is likely to beget two things one, a not unreasonable though omewbat exaeperaliog sense of . aelf-com- plaoency ; tbe other, a habit of hoarding a resentful contempt for others. It is better to blase and be quenched than to smolder and be choked, better to give your friend a little handle against you than to overwhelm him with a consciousness of your perfections. Better to let him sometimes have to pardoo your outbreaks than to have him feel that his stand, in silent array, a very millstone round the neck of love; better that be should love you than that you should have given him the most excellent reasons why be ought to do so. ixive mem, too, pernaps in Tain I What avails it to have many who care for yea when there are none for whom you care? And it is quite possible to be so true, so to ce depended, on, so t aneni ana self-denying and self controlled, that you gain not only the respect but tbe love of all your friends merely to find that they have worn out your own. The Girard Estate-An interesting report was presented to the city councils yesterday by the committee on the Girard estate, it shows me trust to oe in a flourishing ' condition, tbe estimated gross revenues for 1866 being $330,000, an increase of nfty per cent over me revenues of 1865. The wisdom of Stephen Girard in leaving his bequest invested in real estate is shown by the rapid enhancement of its value. Instead of yielding a mere fixed revenae its resources constantly increase, and by proper management they will furnish an ample fund for tbe education of all tbe destitute orphans of Philadelphia even after her population becomes greater than that of any existing city in tbe world. While ex travagance and neglect may mwan tne oe- nevolent intentions ot me aonor ior a time they cannot permanently prevent the full realization of hia wishes unless the most glaring freuds and abuses are tolerated. As the real estate cannot be sold or leased for a longer period than five years it must al wsvs furnish a large and steady revenue The trust owns nearly two hundred proper; ties in Philadelphia, consisting of stores. dwellings, wharves, lots, and farms, beside valuable coal and timber lanas in fecnuyiKiii and Columbia counties. Too much vigilance cannot be exercised in the management of this valuable property. Tbe present committee stsle that they have iocriased the renta "sometimes double and sometimes tremble. It has too often happened, we fear, in former times that lews have been granted rather through favoritism than with an eye single to the productiveness of the estate. The eoqversion of the' north side of Cbesinnt street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, from dwellings to stores, will toon be accomplished, and the committee stste that when ibis pbange is completed tbe revenue yielded by this fine block ''will be five times as great as it was in tbe beginning of 1865," Other properties may hereafter increase their productiveness in a similar man ner, and me estate as a wnoie can scarcely fail to enhance in value as rapidly ss tbe bulk of property in our city. It is extremely unfortunate that in consequence of psst em-bsrrassments the number of pupils in Girard College has been comparatively small; but we hope the time is near at nana woen ine prediction of the committee, that the fund will support one thousand two hundred orphans, will be fully realised. Means should certainly be der'isei to accompli? this noble purpose with the large sum that will be devoted to the college hereafter; but to do this the recommendation of the committee to intruat its management only to "the wisest ami roost virtuous of our pitizens" should be strictly followed. Philadelphia Pre, Dtemlpr 2U ii. ai.iuiii A beggar, well known in tbe neighborhood of tbe church of tbe Madelene, Paris, ad dressed to a friend of ours the following irresistible appeal: "I am poor, Monsieur, but I em religions; I want but one of the saving virtues.

" j Mexico A Graphic Bkotcxu Crrr or Mexico, October SI, 1861 The Indians of Mexico adhere with lingular pertinacity to the customs and language of their stnoestors, and noiwitbitsmdiog three eentories of what the Spaniards are t a ... ivilAt3nfiM" and dallT-tnr lercours with the whites in the valley of Mexico, and in the city itself, the Aitec language is spoken, and the mode of. uyirig with a large part of the population, management of the household, and the baUding themselves are : the sama as in the days hn th Monlesumas ruled over two-thirds of Mexico. In passing through' the streets, and particularly at the market places,, U always to be heard a strange jargon not guttural sounds which seemed to be jerked by a great effort from the neigbbwhood oC UwfaiitbaSils, mk 4e.fca .titans otUh Indians of tbe western Territories, but more like the Chinese, except that the words are longer and more liquid. ., Egbt miles south of the capital and ia sight of the cathedral is tbe town of San Nicolas, in whieh not a word of Spanish is ever heard save when a white man passes through iu streets. The Aitec is the language tsught the children, but the adults acquire sufficient Spanish for trading purposes, and even this little- they bate and use it sparingly. Among the mountains the Indians speak tbe tongue of their aneesters, and across ibe lake, in tbe city of Tescuco, tbe ancient rival of Mexico, is spoken the same word as fell upon the ears of Cortes when be first descended into this valley. So universal is the Altec among the Indians ihat imnorUnt decrees are frequently trans lated into that language for tbe benefit of the native population, most of whom would ever remain ignorant of the laws if published onlv in Nnaniah. I have before me a decree of the 16th of September last, printed in Aitec, in which Maximilian is termed "Huei Hotoam," or emperor. - TceCssiqoes in the interior frequently send tbeir sons to this city to be educated. almost invariably requiring them to become lawyers; after they bad graduated, they re turn home with their diploma, wnion is proudly shown to . their dependents; tbe young lawyer is then stripped of his fine wardrobe, and clothed as are his neighbors, bis father telling bim he has been taught the ways and laws of the Spaniards in order that he may defend his people against their oppressors ; that henceforth he is to be an Aztec, and to mix with the whites only when his people require his services as a legislator or as a lawyer. This explains the reason of so many Indian lawvers and members of CongressJuarez, and v. r .1 of the moot promising members of the bar being ful-blooded Indians. Among tbe Sierras, to the north, in the old States of Puebla and Mexico, are found the Chinijuapo Indians, si ill a powerful tribe, and possessing many peculiar characteristics. They are as white as the fairest Saxon, bat with Indian features; cleanly, industrious, and inclined to be traders ; they mix freely with the whites, bat preserve the purity ot their race. Virtue being sacredly respected among them, hslf-breda are unknown. Tbia interesting nation, are remarkably attached to their homes, have measurably preserved their independence, and like most of tbe mountain tribes, are strong Imperialist! They have defended the eity of Tulancingo for meatba against th attacks of the Liberals, and resolutely refuse to listen to any overtures for abandoning Maximilian and pronouncing for tbe republic They do not (v.ncy American protection, and unless their principal men can be won over to that doctrine will cause great trouble whenever tbe United Slates shall be called upon to adjust the affairs of Mexico. : For this country, Mexico is a live city, and has something of the activity of American cities It certainly is about as densely populated as almost any other place upon the continent; the houses are very com pact, and there is no telling the number of persons which each building contains. Tbe streets are broader than are usually found, in Spanish cities, but no more than those in the United States ; they are straight and cross each other at right angles, forming large squares or blocks of houses. The longest streets sre those running from east to west, and are but about two and a half miles long; tbe width of the city is lees than two miles. Some of the streets ara well paved, and are kept very clean; others are in wretched condition, being little better than mud holes, exhaling a stench that wsuld poison the population of a less salubrious clime. I am told that three years ago even the principal streets were in but little belter order, and that it was by the express and often reiterated orders of the Emperor that the system of repairs wss insugurated and the streets raised, newly graded and repaired. This I can readily believe, as I have before my eyes daily evidenceof the improvements made by their majesties, snd which would not have been thought of by any Mexican of tbe present age; for this people have little notion of publio "improvement, but, on the contrary, every individual thinks that all be defrauds the public treasury out of is so much gain, and to cheat tbe Government ia considered to be a virtue. The Empress has pnid thousands of dollars out of her private fortune to beautify the Altmeda, and has teazle ii now one ot tne most encnanung promenades in America. The Emperor, like every other Christian gentleman, . became disgusted with the old appearance of the Plaza, which was nothing more than an open square, with a wretched bare pavement oi cobDie-stones, ruinous to carriage ana dangerous to pedestrians. . His Majesty planned for this spot a Sower garden, and almost like magic the cobble-stones disap peared, the hollows became filled, fountains sprang up on every side, shrubs ana sowers bloomed where before only bard rocks were seen, and grove or trees auora grateful shade to fhe tired promenader. Ho eity ia Amenca has now a more beanlilul or unique squsre; and all this bas been the work ot a few months. Last spring the Plsza was the sime cheerless spot tqat i had been for (he last twenty yeftrs. But this people cannot be said to appre ciate these benefits, but upon every occasion evinse a spirit thst would not have dis graced a vandal horde. Bat one of tbe four fountains about the Plaza has been finished; tbe water is thrown into the basin from a central jet and from the mouths of eight iron swans, life-size, placed around the edge. These effigies had been placed io position but a few nights before some "blanketed thiel" made a descent upon it and carried it off It has been found necessary te place a watchman upon the Plaza to prevent the scoundrels from stealing the rest ot tbe swans, as well as tbe iron seats and settees, of which a large number have been placed at convenient distance around the square for tbe convenience of pedestrians.

IIaana (pronounced wurayoft) and peco Uhnp are always occurring whenever they are engaged in business transactions, and anvthina like hurrv or expedi tion is unknown. This sluggishness of dis position is evinced in their walk.

The north side of the Plaza is occupied by the cathedral, and the east by tbe imperial palace; on the south and west sides are stores, shops, aod the palace of justice, or city halL These stores and palace of justice have in front large porches, ."called portals," extending over the sidewalk ; and between the col axons supporting the arches and under tbe portals are hundreds of venders of almost everything found in the couatry ; coffee and cakes are cosily nestled by the side of a tempting display of rsg-dolls or preposterous wreaths of artificial flowers; here comes an "hombrt" solemnly bearing a young banana plant, while behind him is a vender of dulciu, (sweets,) whose stentorian lung quickly make the passer-by acquainted with the virtues of bis uninviting confectioner. An Indian with a few skeins of coarse thresd importunes a purchaser, who at the ssme time has a glossy silk hat of ancient form stuck under his nose for inspection. - A man with a yardstick snd an armful of cotton laces jostles you aside and you stumble against a seller of lottery tickets, who assures your winning a hundred dollars in the "LoUria dt la Pnm-dencia," or some other holy swindle. Shoes and jeuelry, frnit and jack-knives, baby linen and old iron, peanuts and hoisery, all in juxtaposition, are to be found at prices sufficiently low to suit tbe Mexican purse; but the moment a foreign customer is found all manner of merchandise takes an alarming rUe, and an unsophisticated Yankee or Johnny Bull is usually completed to pay two or three hundred per oent more for the same article than is a native. This practice of swindling is universal A foreigner ia considered lawful game by Mexicans, and accordingly he is made to feel that he is a foreigner upon every occasion. Some of these dealers make a great deal of money, bat moat of them are satisfied if their profits amount to four or five shillings a day.; It is as much as they could earn by honest labor, and by "keeping store" they save their oiotbe, hold a higher portion in society, and are enabled to gratify tbeir natural penchant for cheating strangers snd la! king polities Some few of the women. aod even three c- f"ur of the men traders. under these portra .i, are very industrious. sewing, icnit.iug. or performing some other light labor most assiduously when not waiting upon customers; most of them, however, prefer to spend their time in idleness, smoking cigarettes, or quarreling upon matters of which they are totally ignorant The city and country would be belter off if the whole tribe of these venders could be abolished or put to honest labor. The pride of this city in its churches, of which there are a great number. Before 1850 it was estimated that one-third of th property in Ibe city belonged to the church, and that one-fifth of tbe buildings were used for churches, convents, and monasteries. A great portion of this property was confis-caed by Jaurez, and tbe act was ratified by Maximilian; still the number of churches and convents is astonishing to an American. The city contains about one thousand priests, monas, ana nuns, sua with novitiates, attendants, aod servants upon churches, fcc. the numoer is swelled to one thousand fise bundred a large number, certainly, to be supported at public expense. Tbe property formerly held by the church io the whole country was estimated at over $400,000,000; of this immense Bum $300,000,000 was confiscated to the Stat It will be seen that the church is still a wealthy body, and consequently wields great power. This power, 1 am sorry to say, has been seldom used in the cause of liberty. but almost invariably against tbe people It was tbe church psrty that asked French in tervention, and invited Maximilian to be come emperor, ihe same party now sus tains bim against the wishes of three-fourths of the Mexican people. As a political party it bas been corrupt, always opposing progress and endeavoring to keep the people in ig norance. As a religious body the church has done much toward civilizing the country. and to ber Mexico owes all its advancement and Christianity. The priests have been energetic, untiring, and oftentimes self sacrificing; but they are miserable politicians, who had better give up the Government into the hands of laymen. Just now we are lost in wonder and amaze ment, and are at a loss lo know what kiad of a Governmett we live under whether an empire, monarchy, dictatorship, republic, or what not, ana wno is our ruler. On Sunday morning Maximilian started very suddenly for Orizaba, having appointed, it ia said. Marshal Bazaine temporary Regent i he XiOiperor naturally leels tbe greatest interest ia the health of the Empress, whose sudltn sad alarming illness while in Europe upon a mission for the empire causes great concern here among all classes. In order to receive the earliest intelligence from his august consort he started for Orizaba, where he would be within a short distance of Vera Cruz upon the arrival of the stesmar. This placing regency in the bands of Bazaine caused intense indignation among the churchmen, and the ministers at once tendered their resignations, which were not accepted. Many believe the Emperor will not return, and this belief is strengthened by his studiously avoiding General Cestlenau, tbe commissioner t-ispatched by Napoleon to this coon try to investigate the condition of aqairs. CasJenau came ue most direct roeatrom 4'ueDa ana unzaoa; the Jamperor made a long detour, ana in this way escaped the general, who was intrusted with dis patches lo be placed m no other hands than those of the Emperor. Who is Emperor? asks eyery one, and none can answer. . Tbe ministry deny that Bazaine i .Regent and the whole Government is in a turmoil. What the end will be aoneoan tell General Cas Ueneu bas arrived, but his instructions have not been made public it is hoped that few day will determine tne question, aod settle when.

A dreadful state of affairs prevails throegh-oar the country. Bands of robbers infest every district, relieving the people of tbe few goods which war has spared. Commerce is utterly dead, agriculture languishes, aad nearly every naiae baa suspended operauoaa Mexico is amid by old settlers to be worse saTj if left to its own people the condition of the country will become more desperate instead oi better. Tbe eyes of many ar turned upon the United States for assistance, and the prayer of the most enlightened is thai the Federal Government will extend a helping hand to Mexico, enabling ber to reestablish the republic and to quiet tbe hordes of guerrillas who now infest her borders. "Intervention" in some shape is needed; shall we have it 7 W. R D. The Great Beform Demonstration in London. The erisis is passed, and "respectable" London has drswn a long breath, partly of relief, partly of amaaemeot The workingmeo have demonstrated that they do feel aa interest in reform, end that they can walk in proeeesioa withoat breaking windows, pillaging shops or mobbing gentlemen. The Beform League have a right to be proud of this result. Tbe arrangements for tbe prooesaioo were nearly perfect. The different societ formed aod kept their places in the line with the precision of military drill. At aoon the order was gives to move forward. The prooession Bled out of St. James' Park in three cols mas, the central, and maeh the longer oue, six abreast. There were very few political banners in the line. Ia their place, however, some of the trades carried emblems of their peculiar purs ails ; thus the gasmeter makers displayed upon a carriage a aamber of elegantly ounstrueled meters and other portions of gas apparatus ; the shoemakers serried upon a pole an elegant spriog-sidsd bjot having beneath it the inscription, "it's th wearer that feels where tbe shoe pinches ;" the bakers bore aloft a loaf of bread labelled "The staff of life ;" and -the glassworkers carried guns and bayonets, staffs and balls, formed ol different colored glass. Still more alarming to persons of weak nerves, snd perhaps qaite as little in place ia such a procession as this, were four red flags, the poles surmounted by cape of liberty, which were borne at the head of the fourth division, contisting exclusively of the branches of the Reform League. The order of the day was admirable, yet hardly a dozen of the police force were visible along the entire liae of march. Their place was taken by a "polio of the people," eoDsUting of about tea thousand members of the societies. The L :mioa papers say, with astonishtnant, that there was less disturbance than en the annual Lord Mayor's dty; that the procession behaved much better than the House of Commons is wort to do at the delivery of the Queen's speech. Tbe rule was for tbe men to march ea silently, keepins? time to their several beads, nearly all of which played with marked execlleaee until they were opposite the Krforoa Club, when caps and bats were lifted, aad a hearty round of eheering given. In no instance waa his-siag or other hostile demonstration beard. It waa a sheer good-tempered, resolute display, and nothing occasion ad more outspoken surprise from tbe lookers-on than tbe quiet regularity of the pro-eaediags, and tbe comfortable, well-clad figures of tne saea. The dense Crowd of spectators, for aa Koe-IUh aad Loadba crowd, were exceedingly well behaved. Boughs were scare aod quiet. Ooe incident of the day deserves especial mention. While the pro- session was forming, a private broaghman, driven y a Dsus-spiasbe coachman, passed through Fail Mall and the whole leoeth of tbe crowd. It con tained the Duke of Edinburgh and two other gen-tlemea. His Boyal Hia-bness kept himself well book ia his corner, aad passed through bis loval aad enenfranebised subjects both unhonored and ansang. As to the number in the procession, estimates, as usual, vary wisely. Probably the most trustworthy Is that which places the number at fifty thousand. Of the addresses it is uooessary to speak. Mr. Bright waa not present. The first of the resolutions adopted reads as follows: "Thai this meetioc eaters its solemn pro sit against, and iu denial of, the ebargea of venality, igaorasoe, drunkenness aod indifference lo reform brought against the workinc classes darins? the laataeasioo of Parliament ; and hereby declares that no reform bill falling short of the oriuciDles ef registered midental manhood suffrage and the ballot will be satisfactory to the people or accepted as a final settlement of the reform question. It is significantly said :a one of the London papers that during the assembling and formation of tbe procession, telegrams with reference to the aspect of affairs were despatched at intervals frvm the authorities in the metropolis to the Queen at Windsor Castle. Emancipation Everywhere. The latest file from Rio Janeiro brinz the news that the Emperor of Brazil has just liberated the national slaves, the profits ot wnoseiaoors oeiongea to tbe Crown; snd large numbers of tbe freedmen, we learn, have entered the army, and are being forwarded in detachments to the seat of war. This looks like tbe first step toward general emancipation in Brazil al letst, it is so re garded by the Abolition party of tbe empire The Emperor of Brazil is known as one of the most enlightened snd liberal rul rs of the sge, snd there can be no doubt that be sincerely desires to see the fine country which he governs delivered from the incubus and stigma of Slavery. In liberating tbe aational slsves be bas. in effect entered a quiet but telling protest against the "insti tution, and tbe influence of his example can hardly fail to prepare the way for tbe emancipation of the slaves throughout the ISmrnre. It strikes us that tbe course pur sued by Ihe United States Government in our civil war has had something to do with the Emperor's action in freeing the Crown slavea At any rale, il is remarkable that.as in our ease, Brazil accepts the services of the negro ss a soldier, to faght the battles of his oountry putting tbe sord into hands from which the manacles have just fallen. Los Mansfield. This great magistrate, being in one of the oountrie on the circuit, a poor woman was indicted for witcbersfi. The inhabitants of the place were exasperated against her. Some witnesses deposed that they had seen her walk in the air, and with her feet upward and her head downward. Lord Mansfield heard the evidence with great tranquillity, and perceiving the temper of the people, whom it would not have been prudent to irritate, he thus ad dressed them : ' I do not doubt that this wo man bas walked in the air with her feet up ward, since yoa have all seen it ; but she bas the honor to be born in England aa well a yoa and I, and consequently cannot be judged but by the laws of Ibe country, nor pun ished but in proportion aa she bas violated them. Now 1 know not one law that forbids walking in the air with the feet upward -; We all have a right to do it with impunity; I see no reason, therefore, for this prosecution, and tbia poor woman may return home when she pleases.

As the end of a year, the period for which hi regiment was enlisted, expired and the men were discharged. He. however, remained ai Acting Assistant Adjutant General to General John E Wool. Returning to Ohio, he again resumed tbe practice of law, but soon after abandoned that profession a second time, and entered upon the business of engineering in Iowa and Wisconsin, and finally settled at Keokuk, where his family now reside. In 1856, he was elected t Congress from the Frst District of Iowa, and was reelected in 1853 and again in 1860, acting In tht,body with tha R-publican prty . upon political questions- In 1861, while yet a member of Congress, he was sppointed a member of the Peace Conference, bat tbe action of that body having, failed to secure peace, be was commissioned by the Governor of Iowa as Colonel of the First Iowa Volunteers, and ordered on duty in the Northern part of Missouri He sooa after abandoned this fervive and resumed his seat in Congress. In August, he resigned and took command at Jefferson Barracks, having previously been cum missioned ss Brigadier General of Volunteers. Shortly afterwards he was relieved of this command at the suggestion of Adjutant General Thomas After General Halleck took command of tbe Department of Missouri, in November, 1881, General Curtis was placed in command of the St Louis " District, and subsequently commanded the forces raised to operate In Southeast Missuuri and Arkansas General Price, Van Dorn and McCultoch having been driven from Missouri, tbe sanguinary battle of Pea Ridge was fought by the forces under bis command on the 6th, 7th and 8th of March, lS6i On the 21st t,t March General Curtis was raised to the rank of Major General of Volunteers, and marched his cdm-msnd from the bead waters of White river, in Arkansas, through to Helena, on the Mississippi, reaching that point above the mid die or June, where he remained stationed for some time, and then obtain.!

In his report upon the condition of South Carolina, General Sickles relatea that io one case, where a freed man was murdered, the two men who killed him set upon the coroner's jury, and united in tbeverdict that "ihe deceased came to his death hv eausas un known." There is a sort of ssvsge humor in this, which amuses while- it makes ua shudder.

Control of Temper. From tbe Saturday Review. Absolute control of temper has often been set forth' iu books as if it were the one quali ty of exceptional value which enables bim who possesses it to govern the world and win to his side friends and foes alike. Now, the first statementrequires to be taken in a very modified sense, and the last is more frequently falsified by experience than not In Parliament undoubtedly, perhaps more than in any other place, self-control ia appreciated and rewarded, and the want of il resented and punished. A man in an ill-humor can rarely take a hint even of the broadest kind, and when temper obscures tact, and hints are found to be ineSeetual, ignominious defeat is not far off. Self command there is simply an in calculable advanUge which often compensates for yery considerable defects f without M tne xooat bdnest s rtrn-o brilliant member is at the mercy of every clever opponent who can lodge an arrow be tween the joints of bis armor, unqueauou- ably an irritable disposition in an infirmity which often besets very noble natureevnun the more exaulted the position of the man tbe creater the pleasure ot mating mm me object of a successful attack.

In an argu ment, especially when conducted with any ,j,. nt wviihlicitv. a man may as well lose hia ton cue as his temper.

''There lowed from him P unceasing flattery of those he liked, (and be never a-rn aompany with anv else.) bu it was the kindly com mendatioo of ft lover, not tbe adulation of veoobant" At regards the exhibition of natural wralb there is one distinction which should alwayi be observed. Something may occasionally be rained bv betas angry with men, but with as inanimate thing never. H who fails to pootrol Ae temper, er who even Snds much fUbrt Bewwary to do It, with regard to complisbed facts' and matters which once transferred into, the realm of the past are ntterlr bevund hia control, has an intracia- ! bility of intellect or nature on which advice would be spent in vain, w itn respect 10 me control of one's temper towards women it is m possible to be too magnanimous ana gen erous in theory with what custom persists in terming the weaker sex ; but ir is in practice losing game, and one not often played, though not perhaps for ' that reason. Ex cessive control of temper in a man is then telt to argue a want of capacity for wratn. Now the feminine mind prefers the oriental conception of a god aeiiy wbe- is jealoue, who hatea and repent, who listens or closes his ears, who is to be propitiated ana can oe provoked to a Buddha sittiag motionless and watching tbe world go round. ' More-aver, that endurlnsr - and perpetual patience whwh.-aa apparenUn.wo jus,oimps. -. - . . patnetio siae, seems to m ios bju kiukt thing not only unnatural but often distinctly exasperating. It ia dangerous to say or even silently to endeavor to convey an intimation to some people that there is one thing which they cannot do; lor it that one tning oe 10 put you out of temper an unholy ambition will immediately arise in them to accomplish it at any cost and by any means. Never to show either pleasure or annoyance is an ap proach to monotony ; only to testily pleasure is a weak and one-sided proceed ng ; and, on the whole, we are disposed to bold that a natural and healthy explosion of even im perfectly justifiable wrath is often attended by the happiest results. The ebullition, however, ought to be of a premeditated and governable kind ; not that a man should ar range to get into a rage and have a domestic storm on such and such a day, but rather that he should agree with himself that tbe next time a certain circumstance occurs, or a particular sentiment is expressed, he will do well to be angry, and being so to show ii within limits laid down beforehand, borne- imes. indeed, he will find it necessary to lash and work himself up into the required paroxysm, as when . Jean Paul makes Siebenkas Leibgeber, "when he had resolved to carry out a certain purpose, to wit, the pawning of a striped calico gown" "foresee that be would have to grow unusually warm, and therefore when Lenette began to weep and wail over her hard fate, which left ber nothing, not even her dress, be replied, "Heavenly, good, gentle devil, come and break my neck ! Now, may God be merciful to such a woman." There is, again, as regards friendship among men, and more particularly between men and women, a some what abstruse principle, in virtue of which worldly policy would forbid the striving to acquire or exercise under the inevitable trials of a close and intimate intercourse an imperturbable composure or a too conspicuous perfection of temper. To smother your resentment, to postpone the consideration of your injuries, to give sweet words for bitter and wise for foolish, to be blind to faults and dbtf to provocations, only in the end to see all other treated with more indulgence and thought fulnfss than you are, because your patience is proven and your long-auffeiing is renowned, is often tbe reward and it may be the jast reward for your ewn conduet w e are, of course, assuming that this sweetness of temper is not natural, but the ultimate result of long and difficult effort In such case this line of conduct is likely to beget two things one, a not unreasonable though omewbat exaeperaliog sense of . aelf-com- plaoency ; tbe other, a habit of hoarding a resentful contempt for others. It is better to blase and be quenched than to smolder and be choked, better to give your friend a little handle against you than to overwhelm him with a consciousness of your perfections. Better to let him sometimes have to pardoo your outbreaks than to have him feel that his stand, in silent array, a very millstone round the neck of love; better that be should love you than that you should have given him the most excellent reasons why be ought to do so. ixive mem, too, pernaps in Tain I What avails it to have many who care for yea when there are none for whom you care? And it is quite possible to be so true, so to ce depended, on, so t aneni ana self-denying and self controlled, that you gain not only the respect but tbe love of all your friends merely to find that they have worn out your own. The Girard Estate-An interesting report was presented to the city councils yesterday by the committee on the Girard estate, it shows me trust to oe in a flourishing ' condition, tbe estimated gross revenues for 1866 being $330,000, an increase of nfty per cent over me revenues of 1865. The wisdom of Stephen Girard in leaving his bequest invested in real estate is shown by the rapid enhancement of its value. Instead of yielding a mere fixed revenae its resources constantly increase, and by proper management they will furnish an ample fund for tbe education of all tbe destitute orphans of Philadelphia even after her population becomes greater than that of any existing city in tbe world. While ex travagance and neglect may mwan tne oe- nevolent intentions ot me aonor ior a time they cannot permanently prevent the full realization of hia wishes unless the most glaring freuds and abuses are tolerated. As the real estate cannot be sold or leased for a longer period than five years it must al wsvs furnish a large and steady revenue The trust owns nearly two hundred proper; ties in Philadelphia, consisting of stores. dwellings, wharves, lots, and farms, beside valuable coal and timber lanas in fecnuyiKiii and Columbia counties. Too much vigilance cannot be exercised in the management of this valuable property. Tbe present committee stsle that they have iocriased the renta "sometimes double and sometimes tremble. It has too often happened, we fear, in former times that lews have been granted rather through favoritism than with an eye single to the productiveness of the estate. The eoqversion of the' north side of Cbesinnt street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, from dwellings to stores, will toon be accomplished, and the committee stste that when ibis pbange is completed tbe revenue yielded by this fine block ''will be five times as great as it was in tbe beginning of 1865" Other properties may hereafter increase their productiveness in a similar man ner, and me estate as a wnoie can scarcely fail to enhance in value as rapidly ss tbe bulk of property in our city. It is extremely unfortunate that in consequence of psst em-bsrrassments the number of pupils in Girard College has been comparatively small; but we hope the time is near at nana woen ine prediction of the committee, that the fund will support one thousand two hundred orphans, will be fully realised. Means should certainly be der'isei to accompli? this noble purpose with the large sum that will be devoted to the college hereafter; but to do this the recommendation of the committee to intruat its management only to "the wisest ami roost virtuous of our pitizens" should be strictly followed. Philadelphia Pre, Dtemlpr 2U ii. ai.iuiii A beggar, well known in tbe neighborhood of tbe church of tbe Madelene, Paris, ad dressed to a friend of ours the following irresistible appeal: "I am poor, Monsieur, but I em religions; I want but one of the saving virtues.

" j Mexico A Graphic Bkotcxu Crrr or Mexico, October SI, 1861 The Indians of Mexico adhere with lingular pertinacity to the customs and language of their stnoestors, and noiwitbitsmdiog three eentories of what the Spaniards are t a ... ivilAt3nfiM" and dallT-tnr lercours with the whites in the valley of Mexico, and in the city itself, the Aitec language is spoken, and the mode of. uyirig with a large part of the population, management of the household, and the baUding themselves are : the sama as in the days hn th Monlesumas ruled over two-thirds of Mexico. In passing through' the streets, and particularly at the market places,, U always to be heard a strange jargon not guttural sounds which seemed to be jerked by a great effort from the neigbbwhood oC UwfaiitbaSils, mk 4e.fca .titans otUh Indians of tbe western Territories, but more like the Chinese, except that the words are longer and more liquid. ., Egbt miles south of the capital and ia sight of the cathedral is tbe town of San Nicolas, in whieh not a word of Spanish is ever heard save when a white man passes through iu streets. The Aitec is the language tsught the children, but the adults acquire sufficient Spanish for trading purposes, and even this little- they bate and use it sparingly. Among the mountains the Indians speak tbe tongue of their aneesters, and across ibe lake, in tbe city of Tescuco, tbe ancient rival of Mexico, is spoken the same word as fell upon the ears of Cortes when be first descended into this valley. So universal is the Altec among the Indians ihat imnorUnt decrees are frequently trans lated into that language for tbe benefit of the native population, most of whom would ever remain ignorant of the laws if published onlv in Nnaniah. I have before me a decree of the 16th of September last, printed in Aitec, in which Maximilian is termed "Huei Hotoam" or emperor. - TceCssiqoes in the interior frequently send tbeir sons to this city to be educated. almost invariably requiring them to become lawyers; after they bad graduated, they re turn home with their diploma, wnion is proudly shown to . their dependents; tbe young lawyer is then stripped of his fine wardrobe, and clothed as are his neighbors, bis father telling bim he has been taught the ways and laws of the Spaniards in order that he may defend his people against their oppressors ; that henceforth he is to be an Aztec, and to mix with the whites only when his people require his services as a legislator or as a lawyer. This explains the reason of so many Indian lawvers and members of CongressJuarez, and v. r .1 of the moot promising members of the bar being ful-blooded Indians. Among tbe Sierras, to the north, in the old States of Puebla and Mexico, are found the Chinijuapo Indians, si ill a powerful tribe, and possessing many peculiar characteristics. They are as white as the fairest Saxon, bat with Indian features; cleanly, industrious, and inclined to be traders ; they mix freely with the whites, bat preserve the purity ot their race. Virtue being sacredly respected among them, hslf-breda are unknown. Tbia interesting nation, are remarkably attached to their homes, have measurably preserved their independence, and like most of tbe mountain tribes, are strong Imperialist! They have defended the eity of Tulancingo for meatba against th attacks of the Liberals, and resolutely refuse to listen to any overtures for abandoning Maximilian and pronouncing for tbe republic They do not (v.ncy American protection, and unless their principal men can be won over to that doctrine will cause great trouble whenever tbe United Slates shall be called upon to adjust the affairs of Mexico. : For this country, Mexico is a live city, and has something of the activity of American cities It certainly is about as densely populated as almost any other place upon the continent; the houses are very com pact, and there is no telling the number of persons which each building contains. Tbe streets are broader than are usually found, in Spanish cities, but no more than those in the United States ; they are straight and cross each other at right angles, forming large squares or blocks of houses. The longest streets sre those running from east to west, and are but about two and a half miles long; tbe width of the city is lees than two miles. Some of the streets ara well paved, and are kept very clean; others are in wretched condition, being little better than mud holes, exhaling a stench that wsuld poison the population of a less salubrious clime. I am told that three years ago even the principal streets were in but little belter order, and that it was by the express and often reiterated orders of the Emperor that the system of repairs wss insugurated and the streets raised, newly graded and repaired. This I can readily believe, as I have before my eyes daily evidenceof the improvements made by their majesties, snd which would not have been thought of by any Mexican of tbe present age; for this people have little notion of publio "improvement, but, on the contrary, every individual thinks that all be defrauds the public treasury out of is so much gain, and to cheat tbe Government ia considered to be a virtue. The Empress has pnid thousands of dollars out of her private fortune to beautify the Altmeda, and has teazle ii now one ot tne most encnanung promenades in America. The Emperor, like every other Christian gentleman, . became disgusted with the old appearance of the Plaza, which was nothing more than an open square, with a wretched bare pavement oi cobDie-stones, ruinous to carriage ana dangerous to pedestrians. . His Majesty planned for this spot a Sower garden, and almost like magic the cobble-stones disap peared, the hollows became filled, fountains sprang up on every side, shrubs ana sowers bloomed where before only bard rocks were seen, and grove or trees auora grateful shade to fhe tired promenader. Ho eity ia Amenca has now a more beanlilul or unique squsre; and all this bas been the work ot a few months. Last spring the Plsza was the sime cheerless spot tqat i had been for (he last twenty yeftrs.

Bat one of tbe four fountains about the Plaza has been finished; tbe water is thrown into the basin from a central jet and from the mouths of eight iron swans, life-size, placed around the edge.

The north side of the Plaza is occupied by the cathedral, and the east by tbe imperial palace; on the south and west sides are stores, shops, aod the palace of justice, or city halL These stores and palace of justice have in front large porches, ."called portals" extending over the sidewalk ; and between the col axons supporting the arches and under tbe portals are hundreds of venders of almost everything found in the couatry ; coffee and cakes are cosily nestled by the side of a tempting display of rsg-dolls or preposterous wreaths of artificial flowers; here comes an "hombrt" solemnly bearing a young banana plant, while behind him is a vender of dulciu, (sweets,) whose stentorian lung quickly make the passer-by acquainted with the virtues of bis uninviting confectioner.

Shoes and jeuelry, frnit and jack-knives, baby linen and old iron, peanuts and hoisery, all in juxtaposition, are to be found at prices sufficiently low to suit tbe Mexican purse; but the moment a foreign customer is found all manner of merchandise takes an alarming rUe, and an unsophisticated Yankee or Johnny Bull is usually completed to pay two or three hundred per oent more for the same article than is a native. This practice of swindling is universal A foreigner ia considered lawful game by Mexicans, and accordingly he is made to feel that he is a foreigner upon every occasion. Some of these dealers make a great deal of money, bat moat of them are satisfied if their profits amount to four or five shillings a day.; It is as much as they could earn by honest labor, and by "keeping store" they save their oiotbe, hold a higher portion in society, and are enabled to gratify tbeir natural penchant for cheating strangers snd la! king polities Some few of the women. aod even three c- f"ur of the men traders. under these portra .i, are very industrious. sewing, icnit.iug. or performing some other light labor most assiduously when not waiting upon customers; most of them, however, prefer to spend their time in idleness, smoking cigarettes, or quarreling upon matters of which they are totally ignorant The city and country would be belter off if the whole tribe of these venders could be abolished or put to honest labor. The pride of this city in its churches, of which there are a great number. Before 1850 it was estimated that one-third of th property in Ibe city belonged to the church, and that one-fifth of tbe buildings were used for churches, convents, and monasteries. A great portion of this property was confis-caed by Jaurez, and tbe act was ratified by Maximilian; still the number of churches and convents is astonishing to an American. The city contains about one thousand priests, monas, ana nuns, sua with novitiates, attendants, aod servants upon churches, fcc. the numoer is swelled to one thousand fise bundred a large number, certainly, to be supported at public expense. Tbe property formerly held by the church io the whole country was estimated at over $400,000,000; of this immense Bum $300,000,000 was confiscated to the Stat It will be seen that the church is still a wealthy body, and consequently wields great power. This power, 1 am sorry to say, has been seldom used in the cause of liberty. but almost invariably against tbe people It was tbe church psrty that asked French in tervention, and invited Maximilian to be come emperor, ihe same party now sus tains bim against the wishes of three-fourths of the Mexican people. As a political party it bas been corrupt, always opposing progress and endeavoring to keep the people in ig norance. As a religious body the church has done much toward civilizing the country. and to ber Mexico owes all its advancement and Christianity. The priests have been energetic, untiring, and oftentimes self sacrificing; but they are miserable politicians, who had better give up the Government into the hands of laymen. Just now we are lost in wonder and amaze ment, and are at a loss lo know what kiad of a Governmett we live under whether an empire, monarchy, dictatorship, republic, or what not, ana wno is our ruler. On Sunday morning Maximilian started very suddenly for Orizaba, having appointed, it ia said. Marshal Bazaine temporary Regent i he XiOiperor naturally leels tbe greatest interest ia the health of the Empress, whose sudltn sad alarming illness while in Europe upon a mission for the empire causes great concern here among all classes. In order to receive the earliest intelligence from his august consort he started for Orizaba, where he would be within a short distance of Vera Cruz upon the arrival of the stesmar. This placing regency in the bands of Bazaine caused intense indignation among the churchmen, and the ministers at once tendered their resignations, which were not accepted. Many believe the Emperor will not return, and this belief is strengthened by his studiously avoiding General Cestlenau, tbe commissioner t-ispatched by Napoleon to this coon try to investigate the condition of aqairs. CasJenau came ue most direct roeatrom 4'ueDa ana unzaoa; the Jamperor made a long detour, ana in this way escaped the general, who was intrusted with dis patches lo be placed m no other hands than those of the Emperor. Who is Emperor? asks eyery one, and none can answer. . Tbe ministry deny that Bazaine i .Regent and the whole Government is in a turmoil. What the end will be aoneoan tell General Cas Ueneu bas arrived, but his instructions have not been made public it is hoped that few day will determine tne question, aod settle when.

A dreadful state of affairs prevails throegh-oar the country. Bands of robbers infest every district, relieving the people of tbe few goods which war has spared. Commerce is utterly dead, agriculture languishes, aad nearly every naiae baa suspended operauoaa Mexico is amid by old settlers to be worse saTj if left to its own people the condition of the country will become more desperate instead oi better. Tbe eyes of many ar turned upon the United States for assistance, and the prayer of the most enlightened is thai the Federal Government will extend a helping hand to Mexico, enabling ber to reestablish the republic and to quiet tbe hordes of guerrillas who now infest her borders. "Intervention" in some shape is needed; shall we have it 7 W. R D. The Great Beform Demonstration in London. The erisis is passed, and "respectable" London has drswn a long breath, partly of relief, partly of amaaemeot The workingmeo have demonstrated that they do feel aa interest in reform, end that they can walk in proeeesioa withoat breaking windows, pillaging shops or mobbing gentlemen. The Beform League have a right to be proud of this result. Tbe arrangements for tbe prooesaioo were nearly perfect. The different societ formed aod kept their places in the line with the precision of military drill. At aoon the order was gives to move forward. The prooession Bled out of St. James' Park in three cols mas, the central, and maeh the longer oue, six abreast. There were very few political banners in the line. Ia their place, however, some of the trades carried emblems of their peculiar purs ails ; thus the gasmeter makers displayed upon a carriage a aamber of elegantly ounstrueled meters and other portions of gas apparatus ; the shoemakers serried upon a pole an elegant spriog-sidsd bjot having beneath it the inscription, "it's th wearer that feels where tbe shoe pinches ;" the bakers bore aloft a loaf of bread labelled "The staff of life ;" and -the glassworkers carried guns and bayonets, staffs and balls, formed ol different colored glass. Still more alarming to persons of weak nerves, snd perhaps qaite as little in place ia such a procession as this, were four red flags, the poles surmounted by cape of liberty, which were borne at the head of the fourth division, contisting exclusively of the branches of the Reform League. The order of the day was admirable, yet hardly a dozen of the police force were visible along the entire liae of march. Their place was taken by a "polio of the people" eoDsUting of about tea thousand members of the societies. The L :mioa papers say, with astonishtnant, that there was less disturbance than en the annual Lord Mayor's dty; that the procession behaved much better than the House of Commons is wort to do at the delivery of the Queen's speech. Tbe rule was for tbe men to march ea silently, keepins? time to their several beads, nearly all of which played with marked execlleaee until they were opposite the Krforoa Club, when caps and bats were lifted, aad a hearty round of eheering given. In no instance waa his-siag or other hostile demonstration beard. It waa a sheer good-tempered, resolute display, and nothing occasion ad more outspoken surprise from tbe lookers-on than tbe quiet regularity of the pro-eaediags, and tbe comfortable, well-clad figures of tne saea. The dense Crowd of spectators, for aa Koe-IUh aad Loadba crowd, were exceedingly well behaved. Boughs were scare aod quiet. Ooe incident of the day deserves especial mention. While the pro- session was forming, a private broaghman, driven y a Dsus-spiasbe coachman, passed through Fail Mall and the whole leoeth of tbe crowd. It con tained the Duke of Edinburgh and two other gen-tlemea. His Boyal Hia-bness kept himself well book ia his corner, aad passed through bis loval aad enenfranebised subjects both unhonored and ansang. As to the number in the procession, estimates, as usual, vary wisely. Probably the most trustworthy Is that which places the number at fifty thousand. Of the addresses it is uooessary to speak. Mr. Bright waa not present. The first of the resolutions adopted reads as follows: "Thai this meetioc eaters its solemn pro sit against, and iu denial of, the ebargea of venality, igaorasoe, drunkenness aod indifference lo reform brought against the workinc classes darins? the laataeasioo of Parliament ; and hereby declares that no reform bill falling short of the oriuciDles ef registered midental manhood suffrage and the ballot will be satisfactory to the people or accepted as a final settlement of the reform question. It is significantly said :a one of the London papers that during the assembling and formation of tbe procession, telegrams with reference to the aspect of affairs were despatched at intervals frvm the authorities in the metropolis to the Queen at Windsor Castle. Emancipation Everywhere. The latest file from Rio Janeiro brinz the news that the Emperor of Brazil has just liberated the national slaves, the profits ot wnoseiaoors oeiongea to tbe Crown; snd large numbers of tbe freedmen, we learn, have entered the army, and are being forwarded in detachments to the seat of war. This looks like tbe first step toward general emancipation in Brazil al letst, it is so re garded by the Abolition party of tbe empire The Emperor of Brazil is known as one of the most enlightened snd liberal rul rs of the sge, snd there can be no doubt that be sincerely desires to see the fine country which he governs delivered from the incubus and stigma of Slavery. In liberating tbe aational slsves be bas. in effect entered a quiet but telling protest against the "insti tution, and tbe influence of his example can hardly fail to prepare the way for tbe emancipation of the slaves throughout the ISmrnre. It strikes us that tbe course pur sued by Ihe United States Government in our civil war has had something to do with the Emperor's action in freeing the Crown slavea At any rale, il is remarkable that.as in our ease, Brazil accepts the services of the negro ss a soldier, to faght the battles of his oountry putting tbe sord into hands from which the manacles have just fallen. Los Mansfield. This great magistrate, being in one of the oountrie on the circuit, a poor woman was indicted for witcbersfi. The inhabitants of the place were exasperated against her. Some witnesses deposed that they had seen her walk in the air, and with her feet upward and her head downward. Lord Mansfield heard the evidence with great tranquillity, and perceiving the temper of the people, whom it would not have been prudent to irritate, he thus ad dressed them : ' I do not doubt that this wo man bas walked in the air with her feet up ward, since yoa have all seen it ; but she bas the honor to be born in England aa well a yoa and I, and consequently cannot be judged but by the laws of Ibe country, nor pun ished but in proportion aa she bas violated them.

As the end of a year, the period for which hi regiment was enlisted, expired and the men were discharged. He. however, remained ai Acting Assistant Adjutant General to General John E Wool. Returning to Ohio, he again resumed tbe practice of law, but soon after abandoned that profession a second time, and entered upon the business of engineering in Iowa and Wisconsin, and finally settled at Keokuk, where his family now reside. In 1856, he was elected t Congress from the Frst District of Iowa, and was reelected in 1853 and again in 1860, acting In tht,body with tha R-publican prty . upon political questions- In 1861, while yet a member of Congress, he was sppointed a member of the Peace Conference, bat tbe action of that body having, failed to secure peace, be was commissioned by the Governor of Iowa as Colonel of the First Iowa Volunteers, and ordered on duty in the Northern part of Missouri He sooa after abandoned this fervive and resumed his seat in Congress. In August, he resigned and took command at Jefferson Barracks, having previously been cum missioned ss Brigadier General of Volunteers. Shortly afterwards he was relieved of this command at the suggestion of Adjutant General Thomas After General Halleck took command of tbe Department of Missouri, in November, 1881, General Curtis was placed in command of the St Louis " District, and subsequently commanded the forces raised to operate In Southeast Missuuri and Arkansas General Price, Van Dorn and McCultoch having been driven from Missouri, tbe sanguinary battle of Pea Ridge was fought by the forces under bis command on the 6th, 7th and 8th of March, lS6i On the 21st t,t March General Curtis was raised to the rank of Major General of Volunteers, and marched his cdm-msnd from the bead waters of White river, in Arkansas, through to Helena, on the Mississippi, reaching that point above the mid die or June, where he remained stationed for some time, and then obtain.!
