The only merit I claim for the fol lowing narrative is that it is a true storv. It Isas a moral wR? the end of it, but I claim nothing on that* as it is'merely thrown in to carry favor with the religious element. A f ur 1 had reported a couple of years on the Virginia City (Nevada) Daily Enterprise, they promoted me to be editor-in-chief—and I lasted just a wis:k, bv t’i watch. But I made an uncommonly lively newspaper while I did last, and when I retired I had a due/ on my hands, and tliree' horse- whippings promised me. The latter I made no attempt to collect; however, this history c<interut- oqlj the former. It was the eld "flush times'” of the jdlver excitement, wheii tUe population was wonderfully wild and mized; everybody went armed to the t«eth, and all sights and insults had to lie atoned for with the best article of blood your system could furnish." In the course of mv editing I mode trouble with a Mr. Lord, editor of the rival paper. He flew up about some little trifle or other that I said about him— I do not remember now what it was. I supposed 1 called him a thief, or a body-snatcher, or an, idiot, or some thing like that. I was obliged to make the paper readable, mid I could not fail in my duty to a whole community of subscribers merely to save the ag gregated sentiveness of au individual. Mr. Lord was offended, and replied vigorously in Ills paper. Vigorously means a great deal when it refers to a personal editorial in a frontier news paper. Duelling waff all the fashion among the upper classes in that coun try, and very' few gentlemen would throw away nn*»pportuuity of fighting one. To kill a person'maduei caused a man to he even more looked up to than to kill two men in the ordinary way. Well, *©ht-there, if you abused a man, and that man did not like it, you had to call him out and kill him ; otherwise you would be digraced. So 1 challenged Mr. Lord, and.1 did hope he would not accept; but I knew per fectly well that ho did not want to fight, and so I challenged' Him In the most violent and implicable manner. And then I safdpwn abd suffered and suffered till the answer came. All our Imys—the editop^ywere in onr office, “helping” me in the dismal business, and telling about duels, and discussing the code with a lot of aged ruffians who had had experience in such things, and altogether there was a loving inter est taken iii the matter, which mode me unspeakably uncomfortable. The answer came Mr. Lord declined. Our boys were fijpoim, Wndi was I on the told him so. He was not of a disposi tion to invite confidence of that kind, so I let the matter rest But it was a eom fort to see those people look sick, and see their under-jaws drop, when Steve made these statements. They went off and got Lord, and took him home; and when we got home, half an hour later, there was a note saying that Mr. Lord peremptorily declined to fight 1 It was a narrow escape. We found out afterwards that Lord hit his mark thirteen times in eighteen shots. If he had put those thirteen bullets through me, it would have narrowed my sphere of usefulness a good deal—would have well nigh closed it, in fact, True, they could have put pegs in the holes, and used me for a hat-rack ; hut what is hat-rack to a man who feels he has in teilectnal powers ?

I sent hii another and did not wan tier I bect.inc. tone changed, waking up. It I have written this true incident of my personal history for one purposry aiid one purpose only—to warn the youth of the day against the pernicious practice of duelling, and to plead with them to war against it. If the remarks and suggestions I am making can be of any service to Sunday school teach ers, and newspapers interested in the moral progress of society, they are at liberty to use them, and I shall even be grateful to have them widely dis seminated, so that they may do ns much good ns possible. I was young and foolish when I challenged unit gentle man, and I thought it was very fine and very grand to be a duellist, and stand upon the “field of honor.” But- I am older and more experienced now, and am inflexibly opposed to the dread ful custom. I am glad, indeed, to be enabled to lift up my voice against it. I think it is a bad, immoral thing. I think it is every man’s duty to do everything he can to discourage duel ling. I always do now ; I discourage it upon every occasion. If a man were to challenge mo now —now that I can fully appreciate the iniquity of that practice—I would go to that man, and take him by the hand, and lead him to a quiet, retired room —and till him. About a mile southeast of. Bran don, Vermont, there is situated a well forty-one feet deep, the water of which has the peculiarity of remaining frozen all the year round. In 1859 the own er of the property began the usual ex cavations of water. After passing through four feet of clay and tea feet of soil, a bed of frozen gravel, sixteen feet iu thickness, was encountered, which rapidly changed into mud when exposed to heat. Further digging penetrated another bed of clay, and finally a layer of clean gravel, in which water was found. As the . Winter months approached, Ice began to £orm jo. the: weii at the rate ofjfrgm t^ef to four inches over night, while during the succeeding- Summer, though the would scornIwell remained open, an oocasional skim of ice would appear on the sur- 1.

There is evidently a strong feeling—honorable iu itself, and com mon to all brave and martial people, such as we of the South have ever been, that prompts men to loose sight of the aims and objects they have in view, in order to honor men whose gal lantry has honored them. Those who yield to tliis feeling, are divided be tween two noble and true men—Gen. Benning and Gen. Gordon. There is also a feeling that partakes in part of gratitude, friendship, fogy- ism, and tlie fear and timidity of changes, that prompts many to adhere, not only to dead issues, but to old party leaders. They can scarcely be induced to think, that there is any political wisdom in this country, outside of Benj. H. Hill, Alexander H. Stephens, Hefshcl V. Johnson, and a few others. We have no quarrel with either of these classes which reflects upon their fidelity or patriotism. There is another duss, numerous already, and rapidly increas ing, who think the war is ended; that seven years after the battle, is long enough to have buried the political dead -, that sending men into the Senate to debate dead issues, is a hopeless business, as well as -that of sending men there among the Senators of the North, to represent our interest, whose claim to the honor, arises from military achiements against the people of the North. That it is time to consider what it costs to keep up sectional strife and hatred—to honor heroes and old leaders—what is the teudency and -ul* timate result of the sectional warfare that is being waged ujion us; that our true mission as a people now, is not to resent wrongs that are without remedy, nurse wrath that is not only liarmless, but actual beneficial to onr enemies— aye, their chief stock iu political trade —but to promote peace and reconcilia tion, by devoting our heads, hearts and hands, to matters of finance, taxation, revenues, industrial and material im provement, and equalizing the benefits and burthens of the government among all dosses and sections—matters which tend to a stimulate the sections and unite them on the basis of mutual in terest. That it is time for the repre sentatives of the people to think for themselves and be not led by passion or prejudice—but address ourselves to the great question of the age—and that is: Not how we became subjugated and prostrated, and oppressed—but how the,mi!lions of white people in the South who are in this condition, shall ever get up out of the dust, and enter again on a career of political and ma terial prosperity and power. The city of Cuthbert offers a candidate for the Senate, who belongs to this class, and openly and boldly publishes his opin ions aud future policy if elected. We do not think it again necessary ir and de- affect any other spot composed of Similar strata. Professor Hager is of opinion that the phenomenon is due to glacial remains. The beds of clay which intercept the sun’s heat and be sides shed off surface water, together with favorable ’arrangement of the •strata in connection with its dip, and the proximity of the outcropping lime stone, it is believed, have protected the frozen mass from thawing for thou sands of years, while tlie remainder of the glacier has long sine*'melted away, leaving only its moraines in the neigh borhood.

A youth, over whoso upper lip the barber could not have slipped the back of his razor' blade more than twice, stood leaning against thegate-post, with his eves fixed upon a chamber window in the second story of the house before- him. In his hands he heldagnitar, upon which lie picked with the flir <1* one who is not certain he is on the right string, while from his parted lips came the following song: I have lo-hoTcd tlic-he Zula Zo-liong, Fo-lior tli-by life was all sn-hang: Wii-wa has all n che-hcer-fnl smi-ile; Wu-wa has su-hunshine all the while. ’ • Here the young man paused to spit and fill up again with wind, and then struck into the chorus: Oh, Zu-hula, monlder-liing-Za-hbla, Si-hilent is tby silverso-hong? ! Oh, Zu-hula, da-harling Zn liula, De-hear departed Zu-hula Zong-ong-ong The singer here took a rest of a few seconds, looked anxiously dowij the streqt to sec that no pQlicoihfu ifere in sight, then, throwing a peculiar plain tive sound in his voice, he sang: When the mo-hoon is shi-bi-ning o’er the la-la-hake, „ . Oh, the-hen Til think of thec-he-he-thee. Oh, the-hen, oh-li, thc-hc hen I’ll thi-hi- hi-ink of thce-ee-ee! Here the front door being suddenly opened, a sepulchral voice said, “ Sick him, Tige!” aud out bounced a dog about the size of a flour barrel and with a good set of natural teeth. The singer turned a back somersault out of the gate, and with the dog nipping at liis coat-tail at every jump, disappeared down toward tho heart of tbe city. Hereupon, the geutlemau who was a witness to this serio-comic drama, turn ed and left the spot, but not until he had seen a middle-aged man in a single garment with an abbreviated narrative, rolliog ovor in the hallway, convulsed with mirth, and saying, whenever Be signed to a horrible death, and whom has friends had already mourned as dead, was still alive and anxious to be set free. A screw-driver Was' soon procured from the undertaker present, and the coffin lid removed, whpn its occhpant, instead'of being cold and dead as he had appeared when last seen, was found to be once more alive. n < • - His friends, who had by this time recovered courage enough to return to the grave, were of course almost over joyed at this strange and unexpected turn of affairs, aud hastened to rescue the late deceased from his unpleasant quartern and remove him to one of the carriages in waiting, where he was rolled up in a plentiful supply of blankets and lap-robes, and the lriendr who had lately followed him sorrow- ingly to tlie grave now hastened joy fully toward their homes. The rescued man was so overcome on being rescued from hia perilous position that he was for a long time unable to speak ; and what his feelings were while undergo ing burial, or whether he was conscious at all or not until the last moment jrbep Be signified that he was still alive, is not known. i j A DISTRESSING MISTAKE. and philanthropist, and a Christian as he is fully endorsed by the press in every part of the State.

In the course of unloading, the sacks containing tlie beans were so skillfully operated upon that by the time they were placed in position nn the levee some of them leaked badly, and castor beans were lying about on the levee in a profusion that bore strong testimony to the reck less spirits of several merry, saddle colored sous of toil.

Tfie old lady referred to, having an eye for the main chance,. no sooner espied the beans lying about loose, than it occurred to her that she would " gather them in” after the fashion of the old sexton, and by turning them to her own use, save a considerable sum in household expense. No sooner said than done, and chuckling at her stroke of good luck, the fair dame conveyed the spoils homeward, where in a short time she cooked them to a proper consistency, and*on Saturday last thfey appeared in tempting form ^before the hungry eyes of her customers, who wrestled their lunch on that ’occasion with a vigor and ferocity quite, alarming to behold.

This wretched hunt after a reputation for fashion, with its constant heart burn ings and defeat*, is, he considers, more productive of real misery, than the serious calamities of life. !)This may seem a strong assertion, he adds, but is his deliberate conviction, and his statements on this head are strengthen ed by the opju}oas of one fully as coni- stent to form just conclusions, Sir enry Holland. In his recent auto biographical sketch that celebrated person states that he has known pie to be made more absolutely their anxiety and disappointment in regard to tickets of administration for! A1 mack’s balls in London. Speaking of fashionable women, the London Lancet has lately had some Very sound remarks in the same strain. "Fash- - ion,” it says, "kills more than tbilor sorrow. Obedience to fiishion is a greater transgression bf the laws of woman’s nature, a greater injury to her physical and mental constitution, than the hardships of poverty and neglect,” • -r ■ The slave woman at her task still lives and grows old, and.sees two or three generations of her mistress pass away. The washerwoman, with s&rcely a ray of hope to cheer her in her toils, will live to see her fashiona ble sisters all extinct. The kitchen- maid .is hearty and strong, when her lady ha? to be nursed like .a sick baby. It is a sad truth that fashion-pa&per ed women are worthless for all good ends of life ; they have bat little force of character, and quite as little physic al energy.- They live for no great ends. They, are dolls, formed in the hands of milliners aud servants, to be fed to order. If they havp childr servants and nurses do all save to con ceive and give them birth;'and -wtii reared, what are they ? What do tin amount to but weak scions of the old stock? Who ever heard of a fashion able woman’s child exhihiting any'.VM'r! tue and power of mind fonwhieh it be-; came eminent?
