Cotton quiet and unchanged. Arrived, steamer Virgo, from Savannah. 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 its victim either to escape or to fojec^Jfla. Poison into his more alert antagonist. ,Tt» black snake is also more than am equal com petitor against the rattle snake. Such is the 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 mer darts forward at the height of his speed, and strikes at the neck of die latter with un erring certainty, leaving afoot or Vwb of the upper part of his body at liberty. In an in stant be encircles him within five or six folds; he then stops aud looks the strangled and gasping foe in the fate,tq ascertain the effect produced upon his corseted body. It he show signs of life, the coils are multiplied and the screws tighteqefj-'Hlie operator all the while narrowly watching the countenance of the helpless victim. TbU9 the two remain thirty or forty minutes. Thefejqefch|touer then slackens one coil, noticing at the same Ume whether any signs of life appear; if so, the coil is resumed until tbe incarcerated wretch is completely dead.

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 - j’.O 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 and a half. Why, ten years ago, you could buy the choicest varieties,—and bushel bask ets too,—for 75 cents or a doliar. Now we arc compelled to pay from a dollar and a half for very poor peaches, to six and seven dol lars for those that aint much better, and people who are not ready to pay such a figure can e’en go without and welcome. The speculators control the market, and with tbe immense demand trom our great population, can keep the price where they please. “ ’Tis true ’tis pity; pity 'tis, ’tis true.’’ “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. Some say the “ways of Providence are mys terious and past ffoding out,” when all its ways are so plainly written that “he who rqo9 may read.” ^ WE ARB GOING TO HAVE high old time,” politically, this fall. Preparations ore making for one of tbe most bitter and virulent campaigns ever witnessed. Already onr leading journals havo com menced the free use of personalities, and epithets fly as fast as balls from the needle gun. Both sides appear to be well armed 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 every prospect that when they have done they will all prove themselves to be better blackguards than politicians.

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.

Aug. Mtft. 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 can. ^ Insurance.
