in your letter of the 31st ult.
i arrived here two days ago, and found

gone to New Orleaus. I am still quite fee

good cause. 1 was badly bruised, and looked
quite bloody on Hie day ol tbe riot, .but none
of my wounds will leave any permaneul in
jury. My greatest pain comes from a slight
stab in the back. 1 cannot now say what
my movements for about a month will be ;
but I will be pleased to hear from you, or any
other friend, at ibis place.
Tilings in Dixie look ugly, nnd call for tbe
most stringent Congressional action.
But I cannot indulge iu a letter to-day.
Send me the Chronicle occasionally; the
weekly would probably be best.
I remain yours, truly, etc.,

The ruttle-sniike ffods a superior foe \ in
tile deer and black-snake. Whenever a buck
discovers a rattle-snake in a situation which
invites attack, he loses no time in preparing
for battle. He makes up to within ten or
twelve feet of the snake, and leaps forward,
and aims to sever the body of the snake with
its sharp bifurcated bool*. The first onset is
most commouly successful; but, if otherwise,
the buck repeats the trial until .toe cuts the
snake in twain. The rapidity" sfrid fatality of
his manoeuvres leave but a slight chance foi

black snake is also more than am equal com

celerity of motion—not only in running, but
in entwining itself round its victim, that the
rattle-snake bas no way of escaping from its
latal embrace. When the black aud rattle
snakes are about to meet lor battle, the for

Dbisk Less With Yodr Meats.—One
great error that we commit is that we drink
too much at our meals. Before we have
sufficiently masticated and insalivated our
food to enable us to swallow it, we force it
down by taking water or warm drinks. This
not onlv dilutes the saliva, but weakens the
gastric'juice after the food gets into the
stomach. Many persons take a swallow of
fluid with almost every mouthful of food.
Look along the dinner table in any of onr
hotels and fashionable private dining rooms,
and you will be surprised at the quantities
which are drank daring the meal; and if your
mind be not taken up with observing the
errors of others, you may discover the same
evil in yourgelL and thus be led to correct it.
This habit, sooner or later, ends in producing
dyspepsia aud constipatious, than which
tbfcre are fib affectiqnB mere destructive of
health add comtort. When we are thirsty,
at our meals or at other limes, we should
drink to allay such thirst only. All solid
food should be thoroughly ground and mixed
with saliva in the mouth, uuaided and undi
luted by water or other driuks. Rely upoB
it, this apparent neceesity for drinking is a
mere habit, which we can correct at will;
aud all who prize health at its 'rue value wilt
not consider its preservation or purchase too
high at the cost of attending to so simple -

Metobs Expected.—On the 13th or 14th
of November next, says Professor Newton,
of Yale College, a prodigious flight of mete-
ors, tlje most imposing of its kind, will make
its appearance, probably for the last time in
this century. Only thirteen of these meteor
ic showers are recorded between the yeare
903 and 1833. That of the latter year was a
sublime spectacle. Arago computes that not
less than forty thousand meteors were visible
tfbove thf horizon of Boston ofc the morning
of the 13th of November, 1853. This dis
play was seen all over North America,
similar display was seen by Humboldt at Cn-
rnana, South America, in 1799.

And the baskets hold liitle more thar a peck

“in a trance.’’
A few days ago qs a funeral procession was
about moving towards beautiful Greenwood,
loud noise was heard coming from the cof
fin itself, and it was very soon discovered
that tbe inmate was kicking lustily for his
yet dear life. It didn’t take long to open
that coffin, and to restore the supposed dead
man to his family and friends. But I have
more curious, nay, startling case than that
to relate. Iu Gates avenue, Brooklyn;
young and lovely girl has, for five long
months, lain in a trance. Surrounded by
father, mother, sister, brother, aud friends,
who know that she still lives, Bhe remains
spell-bound, unable to stir hands, feet or
tongue, and has on but one or two occasions
by even the slightest manifestation of intel
ligence shown that she belonged to the land
oftheliviug. For months nqjt jjiqrticle of
food nor drop of water bas passed her lips,
which are as tightly closed as if the grim
King of Terrors held them in his icy grasp.
Yet the body remains warm and lifelike, the
complexion is much as it was before the
spell overtook the sleeping maiden, and the
immortal soul still lingers in its mortal tene
ment. Hundreds have visited the house
where this strange almost life in death ex
ists, and .all are wonder stricken at the sight.
Truth is oftentimes stranger than fiction.
that injunction
of Holy Writ which directs us not to hoard
riches is, perhaps, disregarded more than any
other in these days of greenbacks and bonds,
notwithstanding we are almost daily remind
ed of its wisdom. These riches will rust and
corrupt when the metal is laid aside, and
thieves will break through and steal when
they consist of bonds, securities and green
backs. The other day certain parties stowed
away, safely, as they throngt, some two or
three hundred thousand dollars in the vaults
of one of our banks, and went on acemnn-
lating more, little dreaming tiint any danger
threatened their deposit, Until going to the
bank they were somewhat astonished on be
fog told their money was missing. How
much more contented and happy onght the
man be who ia not burdened thus with
riches ? He obeys the injunction, and con
sequently does not suffer the just punish
ment inflicted upon him whosets itat naught.

Preparations ore making for one of tbe most

Already onr leading journals havo com
menced the free use of personalities, and
epithets fly as fast as balls from the needle

with repeating instruments, and the very at
mosphere is tainted with the vile language
indulged in. “Liar,” “ villain,” “hounds,”
sneaks,” “mean whites,” etc., eta, com
prise a few of the elegant epithet* they be
stow upon one another, and os this is but
the cammencement, one is scarcely able to
imagme to what extent the courtesies will be
carried before the campaign is over w.ith. So
far neither side has the advantage, as tbe fel
low said of the two fish-women, but there is

Gen. Martin Luther Smith.
We announced but a brief while agd^lhe
sudden death, in Borne, Ga., of the above
distinguished gentleman. We well remem
ber to have often looked in si lent admiration
upon the soldier-like form of General Smith
during that fearful campaign beginning at
tbe “Wilderness” and ending at Appomattox
Coart House. Especially during .tbe bloody
straggle at Spottsylvania Court House did
his watchful eye scan that hastily thrown up
line of entreudhments, against which the
enemy, like tbe great billows of tbe ocean,
surged in vain. Calmly, silently,, be was
seen riding to aud fro amidst the shower of
shot and shell, as if in admiration of the he
roic manner in which Lee’s gallant veterans
were defending the lines ilia mathematical
eye had drawn for them. Sincu that day
other forms than his have passed 4o the great
beyond. General Smith has gone to join
his comrades. An exchange thus speaks of
<Wtl>:> ' < /.
In the old army of the Potomac a silent-
looking gentleman, but one whose restless
eye seemed to notice every shrub and bush,
wearing the star of a General, accompanied
by a full staff could be seen ridiug along the
Tines. ’ His presence seemed to create an awe
as be rode along, and the ’most noisy even
hushed. Also, the staff that rode behind
him were perfectly quiet. They indulged in
uo conversation and no smile wreathed their
lips. Like shadows they rode after a spec
tre.
The soldiers would say, “ Who is that ?”
Why, that's General Smith.” “ Who’s
General Smith 7” would be the next inquiry.
“ I don’t know." We have repeatedly heard
these remarks as the great scientific man
passed tbe lines, and never without the
thought of “What is fame?”
General Martin Luther Smith was a gradu
ate of West Point, and served through the
Mexican war with distinction. He had the
reputation of being one of the best officers in
his line in the service. He entered the Con
federate service, and from that time until the
close of the war labored industriously in his
duties as General and Cbief of Engineers. It
was he who selected tbe sites for tbe defenses
thrown up from the Wilderness to Peters
burg ;. it was be wbo selected tbe line for our
beroes to dress upon, and night and day,
with industry, genius and perseverance, tbis
great man labored under his distinguished
chieftain, Robert E Lee, for the cause he
loved so well.
He died in Rome, Ga., only a few days
ago, and he goes to tbe grave almost nn-
cbronicled. His body was carried to Athens,
Ga., for intermeDt. At the time of his death
he was chief engineer of that system of rail
roads which is to connect Selma, Ala., and
Dalton, Ga, of which General Johnston is
President, aud which is now in process of
construction.—Atlanta Intelligencer.
Revolting Scene nt an Englisli Execn-
tfton.
[From the London Daily News, Aug. 8.J
At 8 o’clock yesterday morning Wm. Col
iier was hanged at Stafford for murdering a
young gentleman named Thomas Smith. The
criminal was thirty-five years old. In con
sequence of the high wiud and rain, the
crowd was unusually small. The following
revolting scene occurred:
At 8 o’clock the procession had reached
the scaffold. With more than customary de
liberation tbe executioner placed tbe noose
over tbe bead of the pinioued man, and drew
over his face tbe white cap. While tbe cler
gyman was still reading tbe service, tbe hang
man lowered the drop with a jerk- There
was immediately a cry of “Tbe mau is down—
the rope has broken.” This proved to be
true. " Collier fell to the ground, and tbe end
of the baiter, liberated suddenly, swuug back
upon bis shoulders like a whip. For an in
stant there was dismay, both upoa and in
side tbe scaffold erection. The executioner
was for a moment incapable. He ran down
the steps and beneath tbe platform, and
found Collier upon his feet, leaning against
the side of the boarding, the cap still over his
face and the rope round his neck. He
seemed to be unconscious, and tbe execu
tioner turned back again, not knowing what
to do. Tiie assistant warders, however,
seemed instantly to understand what had
happened. While one ran into the prison to
procure a new halter, the other directed
Smith to lake the broken rope from off tbe
culprit’s neck. The executioner had now
regained his self possession. He quickly re
moved the rope from Collier’s neck, set him
upright, and drew the cap from his face.
The poor fellow, partially recovered, was
repeating barely audibly the responses to the
prayers which the clergyman, quickly fol
lowing tbe executioner from tbe scaffold floor,
bad begun again to read aloud in the ears of
the seemingly penitent man. Collier was ex
ceedingly pale, and the tightened rope had
left a red streak round a portion of his neck.
He, however, seemed concerned with nothing
but the utterance of his prayers, which he
appeared tp be more anxious to repeat than
he was when he ascended the scaffold. While
this was going on below, another rope was
placed under tbe beam. The reappearance
of the condemned, the clergyman and the
officials, was the signal tor an outburst of in
dignation. Tbe people called out “Shame!”
aDd hooted. Tbe drop again fell, and the
exeention was this timeaccomDlishedin ear
nest. Tbe accident had arisen from the im
perfect splicfog of the rope.
A Wondbrful Feat in Navigation.—The
New York Express says of the miniature
ship, the Red, White and Blue, which re
cently crossed the Atlantic:
The cable announces that this vessel,
which left this port July 9th, for England,
arrived at Hastings on Wednesday, after a
passage of thirty-seven days. The Red,
White and Blue is a miniature full rigged
ship of 2 38-lOOths tons burden, and com
manded by John M. Hudson, late a master’s
mate in the United States Wavy; and ac
companied by Capt. Francis E. Fitch, late
of tbe clipper ship Margaret, and a dog. The
vessel is furnished with three masts and 16
sails in area 65 yards of canvas, her greatest
length being 23 feet, by a width of 5i feet-
Sbe is furnished with full equipments, charts,
compass, barometer and meteorological ap
paratus, and was stored with 80 days’ pro
visions. including 260 gallons of water, 50
cans of desiccated roast beef, 30 packages Ot
coffee. 200 pounds of bread, and liquors, pre-
servei cigars, and solids and luxuries w
proportion; besides which there were 1,700
Bounds of ballast on board, and added to
which was a weight of three tons, necessary
to submerge tbe vessel even when overloaded.
She started off under favorable auspices, and
it appears has accomplished her voyage in
safety.

Where the Responsibility tor the Hew
Orleans Riots Rests.
From the official dispatches concerning the riots In
New Orleans, which we publish entire in this morn
ing’s paper, it is d -monstrable that the criminal re
sponsibility. for tbe slaughter and carnage is the
streets of the Crescent City, on the 30th day of July
last, is mainly stfributebteto the gross inefficiency of
tee' military commander at that post, and the inexcus
able omission of tee Secretary of War in Washington,
in not placing be lore the Ikeadsqt the information
received by him. We do not paliate tee spirit of mor
der, or excuse tbe riotous acta committed on that
lainentable| occasion; bat we maintain, teal the tact
tat such acta were permitted at all stain with negUct
and incapacity the War pepartaaemt and the military
commandant at New Orleans. Why waa the military
force In that city? 'it could only rightfully be there
to protect the United Btahn authority, and the local
and State authority, which looked to it for defence and
support The Constitution of the State ef Louisiana
was tho only local law recognized or known to the
United States, and the officials who held office by Ua
title were the only lkwful repreerntatiTea of order and
authority of which t^iis Government had cognizanoe.
The armiea and the navies of the United States ware
there to uphold and sustain these authorities and for
no other purpose.
Gen. Baird did not seem to understand- this. In
deed, he seems totally incapable of understanding
any duty assigned to him'. It is well kdown that if
not in conviction and sympathy a radical ef the most
ultra school, ho was at least under the influences of
the most intense and unmitigated radicalism. Having
married a daughter of Germ Smith, of New York, one
of the original abolitionists of the extreme class, he
has undoubtedly imbibed froffi ULs surroundings the
dangerous virus of his relatives and lsaorfafaw
Nothing is more clearly revealed from the dispatches
sent by him then that he haa been all the while in ac
cord and sympathy with the revolutionists of that
city. His obtuseneSs in not realizing the situation
around him approaches imbecility. With the ele
ments of discord at woik for mouths, with incendiary
meetings of rival factions held week after week, with
a population of, two hundred thousand souls, com
posed orthonsanda of returned Confederate soldiers,
of thousands of blacks clamoring for franchise, of
hundreds of disappointed politicians, with a Commu
nity noted for its excitable and inlanmiatory
materials, and with novel causes of agitation ami
alarm seethiug and 9tirring up this motley mass; with
this incongruous multitude under his supervision
l.e is as calm aud undisturbed as though he was
managing a Shaker farm ora Quaker meeting.—
Wii»t can intelligent men think of an officer who
considers the efforts of threescore men to assume the
sovereignty of a populous State and pass constitution
al amendments effecting the interests of thirty mil
lions of people, who sought to take without authority
from the people the ballots from white men and put
them iuto the hands of blacks, aud who wore in alli
ance with Congress to perpetrate the most gigantic
usurpations ol Government of which there is any
record iu u free country, as a “harmless pleasure?”
No wouder that upon such a man the outbreak, “came
unexpectedly?” it is no marvel that under such a
commander that the pavements of New Orleans ran
red with blood, or that riot held high carnival under
his impotent sway. Nor is it strange that when Gen.
Baird at last awoke to something like a realizing
sense of the enormity of the mistake of not having
his forces in readiness to stay and stop the deeds of
death and darkness which swept over that city, that
he should now attempt to draw public attention from
bis own guilty neglect to the guilty participators in
riot, to whom that that neglect gave opportunity to
perform their fiendish work. The first appearance of
the United States forces pat an end to the riot with
out another victim. Their appearance at the proper
time would havo prevented the entente, aud saved every
life and every drop of blood shed on that disastrous day.
Why were they not on duty at the proper time? will be
the question asked by the American people. We have
given one season: the patent incapacity and glaring
mco in potency of Gen. Baird. Another reason is the
failure of Mr. Secretary Stanton either to answer or
to place before the President the-dispatch from Baird,
dated July 28, asking for “ immediate instructions”
from the Government. This dispatch waa never seen
by the President until the 22d day of August, twenty-
six days after it was written. Until some explanation
is given for the withholding of that dispatch we aver
that much of the responsibility for the blood and out
rage of the 80th of July rests upon the head of the
Secretary of War. We shall patiently wait for some
light on this subject.
Had General Sheridan, who regarded the convention
of “political agitators” aud “revolutionary men’’ “as
liable to produce breaches of tbe peace,*” been ip com
mand, instead of General Baird—whose parlors have
been considered as the headquarters for radical sym
posiums aud reunions—the terrible calamity at Mew
Orleans would nev^r have occurred. While we do
not seek to screen or shield tit© inhuman butchers
who took part in the bloody scenes of the riot, we
shall still hold up for popular condemnation and re
buke the revolutionists who convened on the 30th of
July, the Congressional conspirator* who “egged on”
their dupes to the crime of usurpation, and last,
though not least, the weak, inefficient General wbo did
not apprehend any danger, aud the War Secretary who
did not place before The President the telegram of the
28th of July, which would have led to instructions
which would have supp.l id the incapacity of Baird,
aud saved history a fearful and savage record of wan
ton and cruel nou—isatwtuU i n r m*JU.»0*^y %t
