Too .Gm>h to hr Lost.—tfot a tliou-
snml years ago a rough, green, Ipiril
looking customer enterod one of our
Dry. Goods stores ami wished to . buy a
pocket handkerchief. Upon being
asked whnt kind of an article lie wan
ted, he drew from his coat pocket
large rod bandanna, and unfurling it to
the lircezo, lie said.:
“ I want one jist like this, l have had
it nigh onto two yours noxt hog killin’
time, and liavn’t bad to wash it tiio first

Ho was badly wounded during the' ut-

What’s the ten cents for! why not an
ttyen dollar! • It’s a part of tin* $8000,
which Floyd and the surrounding coun
ties pay to get to town. Suppose there
•i re 200 fumiiies in Homo that use yearly
2ft loads of wood li piece—then we pay
an annual tax of $500 on wooift Now
■this touches over)’, man’s pocket. A
great many think that heniuiso thay

they are not liiferostwl—-while if our
Bridges were free, they would save from
$2,50, to $ft,00 * year upon the wood

exclusive of specie, was $2^7,31)2,080.—

amount the cotton producers supplied
$101,434,924.
An analysis of the nrtlelos embraced
in the amount furnished aliko by the
free and slave States, show that ut least
one-third of it is ns justly•' the product
of the latter.' Out of $178,392,081 of

A Couple of Warnings.
San Accident,—A. correspond uit f
the Upson Pilot says:
Oirthe 2Hth,'ult., Mr. John McClen
don, merchant ut Hickory Grove, con
cluded In* would nrtikea Christmas Gun
hy bursting a, stump near Ids store. He
accordingly ordered Ids negro hoy to
lHire a hole in the stump, which ho fill
ed with powder, rammed and plugged
it, when just an lie had Ids arrangement
completed, In* let altgfited candle 4 fall
which Ignited some scattered powder
which communicated witlHImt in (ho
stump, which Immediately exploded,
horribly ’ mutiilating Mr. McCMendnn
and dangerously injuring Mr. JohnNnol-
grovo and badly hurting j\ negro belong
ing to Mr. McClendon. Mr. McClendon
died about tlirce o’clock thesnmonight.
—Col. A’’0«.
S.vn Amiir.NT.—A little boy, residing
in.Union comity, Kentucky’, had his
head blown ofr one day last woek. Ho
laired a hole in a log anil put powder
in it, ramming tiio powder down with n
stick, lie.then laid a coal of tiro on
tho hole, and before he could get away
it exploded, tiio stick striking him on
tho head, knocking the upper portion
olf, and killing him instnutly-k—Hep.
Manner.
Dfir-A curious literary discovery was
lately made in an old houso, formerly a
portion of a religious edifice, at W’ilt-
scott, Oxfordshire. Wjiilo pulling it
down, the workmen came.upon a secret
closot or oratory, hidden.in thickness of
tho udjucent room. It proved to ho the
plucoqf deposit for a small library of
tho earliest Protestant. Theology . of
tho time uf tiio Unformntiou. conconlod
no doubt when tiio possession of such
works was almost sufficient to doom the
tier to fire and fagot.. Some of John
Knox’s writings are especially men
tioned, and a “Completo C’vpy * of tho
First English, or Covordulo’s 'Transla
tion of tin* Bible.’' If tho latter work
answer* tho description, the “find” will
be moro valuable than was at first sight
apparent, ns no perfect copy of this
Bible has ret been found to exist, and
ono, tiio title und first leaf wanting, but
supplied in fnc-#lmil«, sold for . .C33ft f or
$1,800, in 1854.
The London Times on tiib'Execution
of John Brown.—'Tiio London Times
has a leader on (he execution of John
Brown nnd tho cinhunstaneoa it gave
rise to. It says that it apjieni’s some
what ludicrous to find that tho North
dul nothing until Brown was executed,
and adds that this does not convey -a
very exulted notion of their zeal or ’ do-
termination of purpose. It sums up as
follows; .* . . ,- ’ r .
“ The result will lie to strengthen tho
South by the i^dliesion ot’ .thp Homing
mass of thy opinion which . in over)’
country lies botwoon extremos. \Vhut
over may be tho futiuia of tho negro
raqo, no one In his senses can believe its
regenonoration ban ho cilocted by inci
ting it to’murdor, plantors and ravish
white women; nnd if any mini choosos
to head an outbreak, of this kind,' ho
musf Oxpost to meet a fate yvhich l igjitr
thinking'ment will liol glorify ’.wRh p
crown of uiartyrdoin.”
Anecdote or Lamar.—A friend, who
know (ho Uto Mirahchu B. Lamar, well,
in other days, in nprivnto lettor to- tho
Senior Editor of tho Mail, speuks as,
follows:
“ Well, Mirabenu B. Lamar Is dead.
He made the first political speech I ever
heard, and said : “By Heaven! I had
rather seo Georgia an iceberg—leafless—
in tho frozen soa, than to m*o hor sub
mit to.Foderal exaction. * Nay, sir, 1
had rather see licr sink into \\ lake of
fire, seven times hotter than man's con
Ccptinn I”
“When he had a fever, twenty years
Ago.* 4 Colquitt wept to .sue him. and In
lay scorch Rig un and raving to die.—
*Aiiyl»o«ly can die,’ in* said, ‘but me.-
Anybody eiso would die, with this few .
Imt hero am l, and I shall not die, but
fiitier on, and live!” But lie is dead \-r
a bmvp limit, iind.n poet. But lie was
not happy, and we tremble to lift the
veil that hides his eternal future.”
Mntj. Mail;
Ii.unois Poi.iTirs.— 'Tho Illinois Deino
emtio Convention met at Springfield
tile ftth lust., niid elected delegates to
the B Charleston Convention. Resolu
tions were adopted rc-afUvmiiig the .Cin
cinnati platform; repudiating now tests,
tiio revival of tliG slave trade, and the
Congressional slave code in tho 'Territo
ries; denying that slavery derives valid!-,
ty from tlieOonstitution; declaring tho
position of tho Democracy of Illinois
to he that of Mr. -Buchanan in his let-
of acceptance; denying tiio interpreta
tion given hy the Republicans.to the
Drefl.Soottdecision, viz: that it denies
the.right of the people in the Territo
ries to regulate the question of slavery
as may suit themselves; deprecating the
John Brown Tory, attributing such ii
vasions to tho teachings of thu Repub
licans, and instructing the delegates f
vote for the re-adoption of t)ie Cincin
nati platform, declaring their deter
mination to abide hy the decision of
the Charleston Convention; also in 1
structing the delegates to vote for Doug

Spirit or Eoltiiehn Ladies.—A cor
respondent of the Montgomery (Ala.)
AJcertiser, relates the following
.Touch tho question of Southern
Rights, I was recently conversing with
a young lady of fids country, noted for
good sense and originality, who was
earnest and eloquent in praise of the
patriotic resolutions adopted hy the
ladies of Richmond, that they would
not wear any nrtiefo of dross manufac
tured at, or brought from the North .
timt sooner than do so. tJiey would learn
to wenvO cloth with-the old fashioned
loom, etc. I, of .course, agreed with my
young lady friend hi every thing she
said; hut I was (I must confess) rather
ptizzlcd to know 4 what tho dear, ladies
would do for “h—ps,” so I rather Itftsli
fully asked the qu«*stion: ” IF/ini wil
you do foreleel tihxi brans /” ’ Imagine my.
discomfiture at lu*r characteristic anil
pat riot io reply, “ White <hk splits Jffrtvn
Lot tho Virginia ladies take courage!
In Time or Peace Prepare for War.
-r-Jnst hear how Mrs. Droly, tiio lady
local of tho Rockford Dally News,
counsels hor sox in view of the fact
that 18G0 is Hip year :
“ Are tho girl aware that this is leap

Wo know of one or two inoro In this
office, and thoy are not easily scared

Attempt to Adduct a Nkuro.—We
learn from tho Eufnuhi Repress that dm
ring the performance of Van AmburgliH
fftrctis,there tho night of thu 29th tilt.,
im attempt was made by a young mnu,
nnmed Noivings. nn iittneho of tho

the noffroes ennfonsion. ha promised to

afterward* sent to Fort Gaines at tho
show there to seo wlmt would be done
when several gentlemen overheard the
converna’inn lietwcon him and N„ and
tho arrangements made for leaving to
