Tlic Model Wife. * Mr. Editor :?In your last Sunday's edition, my eye fell upon an article styled "The A^odel Husband," .Allow me a small space in your invaluable journal to give wliat I conceive to bo a model W/e, but of which, I regret to say, but few are to be found. The model wife can always be found (except when convenient for her husband to accompany her abroad) at home, attending, fo her household affairs. Whenever her husband returns home from the cares and toils of the day, he is mot at the threshold with smiles and caresses, instead of scowls and a reprimand for some imaginary misdemeanor; everything about the house wears the habiliments of elioerfninncc and tidiness; tlie children's laces are cleanly washed, their heads nicely combed, their apparel neat and becoming. She addresses him ' in the most endearing terms ; shares his misfortunes with a sympathizing, consoling hoart, and is the illuminating star that lights up his soul in its gloomiest, darkest hours, and buoys, him up above the waves of adversity. Should her husband have occafyon to go to the lodge-room, or to attend a political or other meeting, she does not require Kim to be at home atanj stipulated moment; and should he be detained down town, by the accidental meeting of an old acquaintance, or perhaps the press o*' business, beyond the usual hour to dine or to tea, an explanation is not demanded, of him for having prolonged his retv.rn hofne, but is accosted by some sucb words as these : "My dear, I am sdrry you have been detained so long by your business?(the thought of anything else having detained him never crossing her pure mind)?the tea is not so good as when freshly drawn, nor.the biscuits (or rolls) not so light as I should wish." . Even 'should her" husband wish to spend an hour or two occasionally of an evening, with a few boon companions, and returns home a little boozys no curtain lecture awaits him, hut a cozy, blazing fire is burning in the grate, his slippers and .boot-jack are in readiness on the hearth, ' and the lamp left burning in the hall to alight nunio nis room, instead of having to grope his way in the dart, thereby imperiling a broken shin or dislocated neck over the furniture. The model' wife is never seen "spinning street ynuns," or ever known to be guilty of speaking ill of her neighbors'; she is charitable, as far as her means will justify ; she visits the sick and distressed, and administers to their ? wants and necessities ; kind to her servants, affectionate to her children, and devoted to her husband. Such is the Model Wife. God grant there were more of tliern than there are. How smoothly and calmly would we glide down the stream of time, and how peaceful would be our exit from this troublous world. Oh! why is it, there are not' more model wives to be found? .Woman! you hold the moral destiny of the world in the palm of your hand ? 'Tis through your irreafc moral iiiflnp?"n *1? _ o ?VTV31 luu sterner sex, that alone has elevated him to the high social position he has attained. Ponder this well in your minds, and resolve to endeavor to elevate man to a still higher sphere. Sunday Mississippian. <*?-#*? > Tho Yankee papers report Magrudcr marching toward the Red river.

A Kentucky Conservative Hikes an v Ikish Suustitute for the Negro.?An *incident worth narrating, recently occurred in Boone county, Kentucky. A wealthy planter, W' the owner of valuable "chatties," and well known as a rebel conservative, who intends to ar vote for McCIellon and Pendleton, had a fat T and muscular negro who was conscripted.? ^ His owner determined to provide a substitute for him, mounted his horse, rode into Coving- ?r ton, and for ?550 engaged an Iri hman to go nI1 as a substitute; but without informing him for w< whom. Taken to the Provost Marshal's office, sworn in, provided with *a uniform and paid m off, the Irishman, then, for the first time, ascof- Wf( tained whom it was he was to represent in the army. It is said his wrath and profanity exceeded all bounds, but it was too late to back T?\ out, and he was sent to quarters Ttn r.'? Al * .*..0 iVCtucky .conservatives who oppose Uie conscrip- j.qi tion of negroes on this side of the Ohio, who ^ object to arming the negroes, evidently value a ' negro'higher than an Irishman, Itather than see a negro free they would drive the- whole Irish population into "slaughter-pens."?Cincinnalti Commercial. wi It is not at all surprising that Gen. Gordon is ranked high among fighting Generals. A cor- , respondent referring to the late disgraceful ni1 stampede of a portion of our forces near Win- P1' chested, Va., says : up "Mrs. General Gordon, who was in Winches- . 1 ter, seized the'division headquarters.flag, and ^ rushing into street, called upon anv nf lift- 1?80 hand's division to rally round her flag, and that ^ bIic would lead them.

Readers of the Courier will acbept and pre;r in place of much that could be culled from ther sources, the following from the trustworiy and emiuently accurate correspondent of He Savannah 'Republican : ^ Richmond, October 29, 1S64. . The details as they come in leave no doubt bat Grant made his grand assault on Tbuvsuy, the 27th. lie may make another effort etween this and the day of the Presidential lection ; but that he took his measures and repared his plans with a view to the speedy j ipturo of Richmond or the Southern Railway, I _ 1 * i r ? i uuia 01 mem, is now manifest to tlie dullest. ' pprebension. As it is, he took nothing by is Inst move ; ou the contrary, his defeat was impletc at nil points, on the right, on the left nd in. the centre. The importance and ex;nt of our victory do not appear .so much om Gen. Lee's official report, as from trustorthy pcrsous who were present, and particiatcd in the battle Indeed, Gen. Lee has an lveterate habit of understating the losses of is udversary and of refining awav his own vie jrics ; whereas it is the practice qf the enemy j j maguify his triumphs, ami not unfrequently > claim a victory where he has suffered a de:at. The effect of these diverse .policies is as dif-. , irent as the policies themselves. In the one ise, the enemy is encouraged and the war )irit stimulated; in the other, neither our my nor our people receive the encourage- , ent which should be derived from our sue- < ;sses. The re-publieation- hbre of the war ] ulletins of the enemy even have a bad effect, , jtwithstauding he is known to be a great ^ ionomist. of truth, and in many instances to . it up claims which are as preposterous as they e unfounded. If the positions of the two lilies had been reversed and we had been the ' l?: ? .-iiuiuug, ana me .enemy the assailing,party, ( le \vbol<4North, would be ringing with poeaus , V.ciory.; . , ,/ i t now 'seems that our. success beyond ^e*. ] rsburg was quite lis eomplcta as it was below , icbmond. The enemy got possession of the. oydton plunk road at Burgess' mills, on Bow- , lty Credk, when Mahone moved against him ith three brigades iti front aud Hampton took i m in the rear. Though ' he was not then slodgcd, Mahone took over four hundred 1 D ' \ c isonors, three stands of colors and six pieces artillery. The latter could nut be brought F, however, the enemy having possession of 1 ic bridge over the Creek.- In the attack sub- 1 queutlj made by the enemy, Mahone broke rec lines of battle and inflicted a heavy loss Don the foe, who retired during the night otn the plank road, leaving many of his " ounded and between two and three hundred ;ud on the field. Including those made on ( e North side, quite a thousand well prisoners ere taken during the day. ' . During these operations on the extreme left id right, a considerable demonstrAion wno ade on the centre, between the James and j ppomatox. This was done to prevent rcitircements from being-sent either to the right the left. Having failed at all other points, id supposing doubtless that Gen. Lee had jakened his lines in front, of Petersburg' in der to reinforce his wings^ the enemy, about ne o'clqck at night, advanced against our ^ )rks on the Baxter road, and- took possession u them ; but they were soon driven out. The o armie9, therefore, now occupy the same lative positions they held before tho^ fight.? 3 already remarke^ Grant took nothing by s move, but lost more than a thousand men ^ r every hundred that Lee lost, in other words, ^ s loss will not fall short of six or seven thou- h nd, while Lee's does not exceed five or six i> indrpd.
