SUerill killed. We learn that the Sheriff of Dickons eottnly was shot deail on Sunday last, nud lih Deputy •wounded, by a desperado from Tenn., named Joel Kitcdiiu. 'The cireumstances, a»i wo gath er them from Mr. J. A. Nelson, of .Murray county, afe these: On Friday evening last Kitellie came to the house of Mr. George Terry, living in the upper part of Murray, from the direction of Tennessee, riding a mule, which he succeeded in swapping to Mr. T. for a small bay pony, and imined lately left in the direction of Pickens county. The next morn ing two men iW.e «pt« the house of MV. T. in pursuit o»f Kitehic, whom they desetihed, stating that, he bad /to!e:i a mule from one of theui, and asked him if such a m m had pass sed that way. Mr. T. informed them such a mail had stopped at his hou>e the evening previous, and had traded him ai iwnlo, which, upon examination proved to bo the one tlmy were looking !'■;•. Tin* two Mr- 'lk and Mt’veral of his neiglil’; irs. immediately went io pur-mi: of the thief, wliom they could hear of all nl oig the. road leading fw town of da-pur, which place t’aey readied about 11 o’clock, on Sund;>''. mlio> they barred that the mass they were after had left a few hour* before in the direction of Dawxonville, and was then supposed to he at a lions” about four milt s distant. The Sheriff of the county and I.is Deputy, h in : in town at the time, were called on bv tin* pursuing party to aid in Kitdiie's arrest, which they jiroe-mdetl to do. But before ! avinr, the sherifF prevailed on the jiarty to rpinain h diiml. as some of them were known to Kit. hie, who being on tlm look out and .v-eing them, might give them the dodge, lie was found nt the house at which it was thought lie bad stopped, sitting at a table shaving himself. The sheriff stepped into the room, and placing his hami upon his shoulder, told him lie was his prisoner, and to follow him. Kite hie replied, ‘‘You will let me finish sh&vang lir*t, waiVt you?’’ to which flu* r.bcriff’ assented. The desperado then stooped down and commenced strapping hit rsTor on his hoot, and lose up with a pistol ir. Ids hand, which he jerked from tli-J leg of liis hoot, and immediately placed bhuo muzzle of it against the breast of the sheriff and killed him instantly. The deputy then rushed m and was fired at (wire in rapid succession, both halls taking effect in his arm and shouK dor, disabling him. The desperado then rush ed from the house and made good his escape in the direction of North Carolina, on a large, fine, fleet horse belonging to our* informant, Mr. Nelson; which the sheriff had rode to the house. How they Cook in Oregon, There is a place in Oregon called the Smo ky Valley, where the people have a very cu rious way of cooking. They do not have the trouble of making a fire every morning when they wi*h to get breakfast. They just walk out with kettles, coffee pots and whatever eUc they need, and cook at the boiling springs.— ’The water seems a great deal better than com mon boiling water, and all they' need to do is to hang their keltic in it a short time, and th‘ ir food if, niv.cdy cooked. They are able even to bake in it. The bread is put into a tight sauce pan, and lowered into the flood, for an hour or two, and thefTdrawn up most exquisitely baked, with hut a thin rim of crust over. Meat is cooked hero, and beans, which are the miner’s great luxury. It takes hut a minute to cook eggs, or to make a cup of coT* fee or ttfji: but if there should chance to ho a ‘slipbetween the cup and the lip,’ the food would be gone beyond recovery. Our devil says some evenings sinco while talking love to his sweetheart she blushed, which caused him to ask: “Miss, what have you done' to be ashamed of, that you blush so?" “Sir, what have the roses and the strawber ries and the peaches done, that they should blush so ?” The editor of the Paris Pays has alrca.ly fought upward of sixty duels. If you want to “turn peoples’ heads”—go late into church. of Southern Prosperity. The x itality and recuperative power of the South are wonderful. In these she surpasses nnythii g that the world has ever seen before. .She astonishes wen not less by her immense vigor in peace than by her tremendous energy in war. Ist sj-Vic of all the fearful tages that hive boo* and are around her and upon her ; in spite Os the fact that but a par tial pacification lias been effected within her h irlers: in spite of the undeniable truth that large portions ©f the nogrOes are not an aid to her, but a monstrous nuisance ; in spito of all these tilings, verdure, and all those i \r U predictions of the earth to which her tu; eh less seil and climate are adapted, are springing, as beneath the tread of God’s angels, Jrorr her lately hleaahed and desolated fields. The people of the South have had, during the last season, far less means of production than tiny ever had before, hut they have di* re. ted t »eir mean ; ore skillfully and to bet t> r pur use than ever did before. Taught salittery and necessary lessons iw a hard and terrible school, they have taken care that the lessons should not he lost on them. They have discovered and devoted to use unpaid li* ties within themselves, the very existence of which, in times past, they never suspected 'They fin 1 that they can accomplish w hat they j formerly deemed impossibilities. They feel 1 the spirit of independence moving in their *mils am] thrilling all the chords of their frames. Their dependence, to any great ex tent, upon the North or upon any other region lias disappeared forever. They can place themselves and arc fast placing themselves in rtcondition of mom perfect exemption from control and the necessity of reliance than is perhaps enjoyed by any other people on the globe. The North is destined to rcalizo the extraordinary truth, that when she thought ifoerself striking -«/ Southern she was, in one and a highly important eense,! striking for Southern independence. >A hat mortal mind, when events are occur ring, can behold their remote or even their near eonsoapiepees. -| Lou. <\mr. Jour. Rothschild said, one day, ho always knew when people ware talking about, his fellow- Hebrews, whether the latter were rich or poor. Ufaon being asked to explain how he came to know that, lie replied: “Why, you see, when ■ people are talking about a wealthy man of tnv creed tkey call him an Israelite, hutjf lie in pot>r they call him a Jew.” A stth-etliter announce* tlmt the editor of the paper is unwell, and piously add* : “AH good paying requested : t» m i£u mention of hit* lit Gicir prayers.— 'The .»tle r class need not do it, as the prayers of t.lw*; wicked avail nothing, to good authority.” The aeti ii of the House, o( lie present*.

Wrong Side Oct.—A radical and a negro were talking politics one day, and Sambo get ting the best of it, the radical broke out sud denly, saying : “ What arc you, any Avny, hut a black nig ger ?" “ Well,” said Sambo, “I know I’ se black, hut dat don't make no difference, for you is jss’ as black as I is.” “ How do yon make that out ?” “ Why, dat’s jes’ as plain as day.

The New Orleans Picayune of Jan. sr.h says : “Our readers are net ignorant Os the sad con dition to which Reynolds’ rule has brought the State of Texas. MouraviefTs rule in Poland was more endurable at large, *®d to proud spirits, infinitely less gulfing-; for, whereas the Russian satrap served one master, an ‘ enlight ened despot,” Reynolds was the tool of a fac tion that illustrates the most odious and mean est vices of party rule. During his regime, wherever the military were in sufficient num bers to overawe the citizens, and Radical mis creants had personal or political ends to compass the people held their lives, liberty, and prop erty at the hazard, as it were, of a die. AY'c need not rehearse the sad and shameful story of the la t year. The fast act in this tragedy of military despotism Itas just been enacted at Jefferson. By a telegram to Messts. Speake & Buckner, v c learn that Captain William Perry, id the firm of Perry & Norwood, was shot and killed l.y Unit-d States soldiers in Jefferson on the night of the 2d inst., “through mistake,” as they say. The deceased was the father of Wiley T. Perry, Esq, a resident of our city, lie was a gentleman of irreproach able character in encry relation of life, enjoy ing an enviable reputation in Jefferson as a man of business. His friends here, who knew him well, regard hi* death as entirely unpro voked, as he was one of the last men to have made himself obnoxious to the powers that ho. Jefferson it now garrisoned by nearly 3,000 men. Some «f heT best citizens are in military prison, and others ‘are wanted.' Wo suppose Mr. Perry was shot and killed in a military raid. Is this a free country? Sweinl Arithmetic. A pleasant pastime ut an evening gathering of family or friends is the solution of problems in what a writer in Chambers' Journal calls “social arithmetic.” One of the examples he gives is Lho following: “T wo brothers were walking the street, when one of them stopped at a house, saying he must call and see a sick niece. The ether passed on, saying, “I am thankful I have tao niece." — iVliut relation was the last spexkor to tho invalid? Another is apparently v-eTy easy and simple, j hut we venture to sav that not one in ten will j get the correct answer the first time trying. A stranger entered a shoe store ami bought ; a pair of shoes worth four dollars, for which he tendered a five dollar greenback in pay ment. The shoe denier having no change, got the bill “broken" at. tho grocer's, next door, and delivered to the purchaser the sliaes and tint one dollar in change. Yh-e grocer after watds discovered that the bill was counterfeit, and made the shoe dealer take it hack and give him good money. Now, the question is, how much did the shoo dealer lose in all?” Religion. Someone whoso head is unusually “level,” has written out his ideas of religion as fel lows : Wo want a religion that goes into the fami ly; that keeps the husband from being spite ful when tho dinner is late; keeps the wife from being spiteful when the husband tracks the newly washed floor with muddy hoots, and makes the husband mindful of the scraper and door mat: amuses the children as well as gov erns them 5 projects the honeymoon into the hart cstrnoon, and makes the happy hours like the eastern fig tree, bearing in its bosom at once the beauty of the tender blossom and tho glory of the ripened fruit. We want* religion that not only hears on the sinfulness of sin but on the rascality of lying and stealing; a reli gion that banishes all small measures from the counters, small baskets from the stalls, pebbles from the cotton hags, clay from pepper, sand front sugar, chicory front coffee, beer-root from vinegar, alum from bread, lard from butter, strychnine from wine, and water from milk cans. The religion that is to advance the world will not put all the big strawberries and peaches on top and nil the bad ones at the bottom. It will not offer more baskets of for eign wine than the vineyards ever produced bottles. The religion that is to sanctify the world pays its debts. It does not consider forty cents returned for one hundred given, according to Gospel though it is according to law. It looks upon the man who fails in trade and who continues to live in luxury as a thief. It looks upon a man who promises to pay, and who fails to pay it on demand without inter est, as a liar, Locokotivb AVitiiolt Steasi.—Tho N. Y. Sun says that Mr. Moltz, after eight years’ labor, has produced a locomotive which he be lieves will supercede the use of steam on rail roads, and relieve the public of the apprehen sion of disastrous explosions. The machine is set in motion by levers acting on an eccentric, which moves the wheels of the engine. Bal ancing weights and springs seem to supply the motive power. The model, which is on exhi bition in New York, cost tho inventor $13,000. I am rich enough, says Pope to Swift, and ean afford to give away a hundred pounds a year. I would not crawl upon the earth with out doing good. I will enjoy the pleasure of what I give by giving it alive, and seeing another enjoying it When I dio I should he ashamed to leave enough for a monument, if a wanting friend is above ground. That speech of Pope is sufficient to immortalize him, inde pendently of hi* philosophical verses. ** The end ctf Wrath is the beginning of re pentance. An Irish monk once called on his congrega tion to thank God that death had been placed at the end of life instead of the middle. voi, 3. m ii We still live. The Democrats nf Ne'.v Ihic and have neveT lia<l justice done them, and we are "!ad of an. opportunity to say a good word of some of those sturdy .Vew Hampshire believers in the Constitution who, year after year, poll their votes in its defense, not a whit dismayed by the raging of the heat! c > majority wherewith they have to contend. On the last day of the old year there mot in the Washington Town Hall some three hundred of the unterrified to renew their devotion to constitutional liberty, and pledge themselves afresh to the great con fliet of truth against error that must be had ere. the republic “find repose in the triumph of sound principles over the urns of the present day.” Among the addresses delivered was one by a young man engaged in teaching, a Demo crat: and we note the circumstance as afford ing good hope that, if there he more like him,’ the children cf Mew Hampshire may learn something of reading, writing, arithmetic, and the Constitution of their fathers, and not be crammed, as they too often are under Radical auspices, with tha-husks of loilty alone. Af ter sneaking and singing by the glee club, “a beautiful collation, consisting of oysters;' choice pastry, and good old New England cider, was partaken of,” and then there was a dance.' Among those present, it is recorded that there was “ a negro, recently from Mobile, but stilt more recently from Newport, N. 11., where he mot such a. cold reception from his Republican friends that bis feet vrero frozen. This negro contributed to the entertainment by singing several plantation melodics, to the great delight of the ehildren.” Now, this is a very pretty picture, is it not? And see how poor Cuff, caught in the deai waste and middle of a grim New England win ter, does from the prating Radical hypoorites who permitted his feet to freezo—aftor, no doubt, enticing him from his Mobile homo—td the Democrats, who give him bread and warmth and set him in their midst to sing to the child rcn. Truly, whether in the North or in the South the Democrat is the host friend tho negro has; Wo may refuse him tho ballot and think him not fit to hold tho reins of State, but then, in the name of Humanity, with abig If, we don’t freeze his foot.— X. V. World. Great discovery for the South. Iho Journal of Agriculture says, tho pam phlet on the use and merits of tho # Ramie, by Dr. Koczol, contains all tho information neces sary to those interested in this valuable discov ery—ami describes this plant, with all its ad vantages over cotton, and as a substitute for it. It is conceded by tho results of eminent French botanists, that this plant possesses the following advantages, ( are al ready patented for its preparation :) 1. fliafc the fibre of the Ramie is stronger than that of the best European liemp. 2. That it is fifty per cent, stronger and bet ter than the Belgian, flaxen, or linen fibre. and. fliat the Ramie fibre may be spun as fino as flax, and that it will bo doubly as dura*" blc. 4. That the plant is r. vigorous grower, "and will produce Far the greatest amount of texs tile fibre of any plant hitherto known. h. That it produce•» within the belt in Which it flourishes, from three to five annual crop.*/ each equal to the best gathcicd froni hemp. It requires less labor than cotton, is not destroyed by tho caterpillar, does not suffer from excess of rains, and withstands tho drought without injury; can bo taken 1 rOttf the field in the morning, and a few hours after a nice fine fibre may be had by using a clean ing machine patented by Roezel.
