An Interesting Chapter of Unpublish
ed History,
Tub Personal Difficulty Between u Wii.iiam
L. Yancey and B. ll.*llill in the Con
federate Senate Chamber.
Among the many events of personal in
terest that transpired in the South during
the late war, but few are of more dramatic
character or aroused a deeper interest among
our people than the unfortunate personal
and ffieulty which took place in the Confeder
ate States Senate, at Richmond, during its
secret Session, between Mr. NVillintn L.
Yancey, of Alabama, and Mr. Ben. 11. Hill,
of Georgia. Several different and conflict
ing versions of this affair Rave been gi % . et.
ibrougn the Southern press, but none has
yet been published that accords with a
statement we recently derived from a gen
tleman who was at the time a Senator, and
an eye.-witness to all that transpired oil the
occasion. ,
The difficulty had its origin in the heated
political contests so common in tins cotin
ttv prior to the breaking out of th * war. , ft
was when Yancey, with liis dazzling elo
quencefwas ‘firing the Southern heart, mat
a burbaeue, attended by thousands, was
given in one of the Southern counties of
Georgia. It was here that Hill and Yancey
met— the one the bold and eloquent defender
o! the Union, and the other the boasted
champion of secession ; and during ihede
bate which ensued words were uttered that
caused an estrangement that was never
afterward reconciled.
The two men met again in the Confeder
ate Senate, both doubtless smarting under
the recollection of past cooflcts, and
entertaining no kindly feel mg ‘^j 1
other. It was when the cause of the sonib
l2df;pend ent Journal-pevotea to the Interests or Georgia.

was drooping and every patriot heart was I
heavy wijh despondency and gloom, that |
air. r ancev, •«;’ his place in tin; Sen-J
,‘t!e, declared that the war could no longer i
l.’t* Carried uu with any hope of success un •
Icss-nianj oj the .Constitutional restraints
.and embarrassments were thrown aside, and
boldly advocated a radical change in the
Government to meet the demands of the
ptibl'C and the exigencies of the hour.
Upon 4he conclusion ol Mr. Yancey’s rs
marks. Mr. Ilill promptly arose to reply.
Ihe scone was one of the most intense ex
citement lie deprecated the opinion «a
nd by Mr. Yancey, and proceeded with
great severity to review Ids past political
career, running back to the beginning of
the times when our sectional troubles were
fitst agitated. He said Mr. Yancey,*not
satisfied with having warred upon and
disnipted the old Union, was crying out
against and endeavoring to subvert and
breakdown the Confederate Government.
Winn Aft, Ilill concluded, the excitement
already at while heat, was increased be
yond anything ever be fit re witnessed dus
ling those* tronlesome times. Mr. Yancey
arose and iti a calm dignifi and and sell-pois
ed manner peculiarly his own, commenced
iiis reply. lie described Mr. Hill as re
peating slanders that had been uttered j
against him for the past t wenty years, and j
that ali which Mr. Iliil had uttered had i
been said imiumemer,.ble times before by
every third-rate politician in the Country,
and continued by saying ‘nature had de
signed tin; Senator from Georgia as an im
itator - that lie had been cast in a certain
die, and it was vain to attempt to enlarge
his dimensions.
Valid with ragp. Mr. Hill mounted to his feet,
and seized a heavy glass inkstand hurled it with
all his might and power at the head of Mr Yancey,
which, grazing his foiehead, plowed its way to thtj
skull and passed on its furious coin sc, crushing a
heavy window-facing beyond. Without turning
bis head. Mr.Yancey. who was at the time addres
tUe Hf<ni..r,...>utin<ie'f bis speech, deliberate-,
ly remarked : “It is always the prerogative of
cowards to str ke from the rear*” Enraged still
more at this remark, Mr. Hill, gathered a chair
lushed, upon his ant agonist, who, heedless of the
attack, was continuing his.remarks as calmly ns if
nothing had happened, when a fiomken of Sena
tors interposing, the difficulty was ended. Mr.
Yancey’s wound hie 1 most profusely, and a scene of
the utmost confusion prevailed.
I has been several times been stated since Mr.
Yancey’s death, that it resulted from injuries 'e
evivvd in this rencounter, hut such is not the fact,
as he died from a disease that could in no way
j have been superinduced by this cause.

To put up Green Corn.
I am a true lover ot green corn, and I
keep it from one year’s end to the other,
ami have it brought to my table at any
time when the notion lakes me, as fresh and
good as when first taken from the pi»Loh.
Hero is the way I work it :.
I have the corn shaved from the cub and
packed away in a common stone jar, with
salt in alternate layers. A layer of corn
—say an inch thick—followed by a layer
of salt sufficient to cover it, and so on till
llu* jar is filled. Pieces of boaids are thru
fitted over it, and a stone laid on to weight
it down : for a pickle will soon rise, and all
the corn must be kept beneath the surface.
Cloth or paper is uext tied over the mouth
of the jar to keep out dust—and that is ail
of it.
Out theffe vf«ll bo fiVOrf* to f^D
when i wish' to use thy corn, ami therein
fieth my secret, it will be too salt for the
table, as packed away, of course, and if 1
souk the salt out in the ordinary’ way
I epoil the whole thing, for the
milk af.d life of the grain goes out with
the salt. I have it soaked nevertheless;
but tlu* work IS first commenced’by first
dropping it into a kettle of boiling wa
ter. This cooks the milk in the corn at
once, venders it insoluble, after which it
may be soaked through as many waters as
desirable without impairing its flavor or
virtues in the least. , ,
I have eaten corn four years old, kept in
lilts way and treated as above, and so per
fect was it, that bad the roasting-ear sea
son been at hand, I should never have sus
pected otherwise than that it was taken
from the cob,—J, P. Seel In, In Journal of

What Valland!kgham Meditated —The
following is an extinct from correspon
dence of the Cincinnati Gazette
I had a ta k with one of Mr. Vallanding
ham*s neat relatives to whom he often
spoke freely. He said his new departure
idea was two years old, and bad been thor
oughly studied. His papers were volu
minniis. lie had written a complete auto
biography.* One of his favorite hopes was
to make a 4th of July oral ion at the con.-*
temiiul anniversary in IS7G, and be coin •
me need the preparation of it. He loved
the Calhoun theory in politics, but thought
it died with the echoes of tho last gun at
Appomattox Court House. He wanted ne
gro suffrage kept out of politics. It was
on us. Let us see how
why, well. If not, let the people remedy
it. He believed that they were ready for
anew Constitution, and feared sometimes
a military dictatorship. The new depar
tme against his prejudices, but lie believ
ed it the best for the Country.
Influence of the Stomach. —The emotion
of the mind has a powerful influence on the
stomach. Let a person who is about to
nit tt is tv. witl. r» g-.oU uppolltw,
receive a piece es news, either exceedingly
joyful or exceedingly distressing ; his ap
petite goes in a moment. Children who
are about to set out on a pleasant journey,
it is well known, cannot eat. This, when
I was a child, was called going ‘journey
proud.’ On the other hand, a blow on the
stomach will sometimes take away life in
stantly ; a drink of cold water wlmn the
body has been very hot, has often had the
same effect. Attend to your Companions
when on a journey afoot ; as their stom
achs grow empty; how sullen and silent
the whole party becomes* Let a crust of
bread, a little chees *, a glass of ale or
wine be taken, and cheerfulness immediate
ly reigns ov«n long befoie any nutriment
has had time to reach the general circula
tion. Those things also show the sympas
shy between the stomach and every other
part of the body. Jutu*. of Farm.

The anniversifiy of the battle of Bunker
Hill—(ho 17th of June—was an eventful
one to Mr Valiandingham. Had the horo
scope of fate cast its influence upon his
belief, be certainly would have regarded
this day with superstition and apprehen •
aion. It was on the 17th of June, 1863,
that he ran the blockade from the South
and encountered the dangers of exile, the
sea and' death. On the 11 th of June, —64,
a year to a day exactly, he reached his old
home and made a speech in Dayton, then
laboring under an apprehension of renew
ed military arrest. On the 17th of June,
1871, ho died a victim to an unlucky acci
dent from his own hands. It so happened
that it was seven years after his return
and in a year in which the figure seven so
promiently appears to make the date.—

Flattery.
There is one kind of flattery which is commorl
to both women apd men, and that is the expressed*
preference of sex. Thus, when men want to flat-,
or women, they say how infinitely they prefer
their society to that of their own sex ; and women
will say the same to men. Or if they do not ray it
they will act ii. Bee a set of wymeu congregated
together without the light of a manly countenanoe
among them. They may talk to each other cer
tainly ; and one or two will sit away and discus*
their private affairs with animation ; but the great
mass of Ihetn ate only half vitalized while awaiting
the advent of men to rouse them into lile and tho
desire to please. No man who goes up first, aud
earlier than he was expected, from the dinner
table, can laiUto see the change which comes over
those wearied liinp, indifferent looking | faces and
figures ua.soou as he enters tho loom. He is like
the prince whose kiss woke up the sleeping beau
ty and all her court; and can any one say that
this is not flattery of the most delightful kind T
Ta.li- tha Pjfgmftlinti (*v«i fn» a mnmcnr, nwT lor
the weakeift order of soul-giviug ? is about the
greatest pleasure that a man can know, if he i«
susceptible to the finer kinds of flattery. Sure
women, indeed, not only show their preference foe
men, but openly confess it, and confess at the
same time to a lofty contempt or abhorrence for (
the society of women. These are generally women
who are, or|have been.Jbeauties nr who bave literary
and intellectual pretentions, or who despise babies
and aondema housekeeping, and profess them*-
selves unable to talk to other women because
their narrowness and stnp(dity. But[ for the most
part they are women who, by their beauty, o»
position, have boon used to receive extra
from meh, and thus there preference fe not flattery
so muoh as exig ence. Women who have beeu m
India, or wherever else,women are In the minority
in society,fare of this kind ; and nothing is mor#
amazing to them when thejr come home than the
attentions which a certain style of English women,
pay to men instead of‘demanding and receiving
attentions from thcTn. These are sweet,
humble, caressing women who flatter yeu with,
every word and look, but whose flattery is nothing'
but a pretty dress pnt on for show, and taken off
when the show is done with.
It seems that the cotiqo interests of Bras
zil are on the decline* While the exporta
of this staple frofn itio Janeiro in 1868
amounted 113,455 bales they acre, iu 1869,.
only 45,005 baits— an enormous falling off
—which was further reduced in 1870, when
the exports from that port were only 17,
910 (Brazilian) bales. The exports ol cot**
ton from Santos during 'ast year were 243,
727 arrobas, equal to about 18,280
* of 400 pound?, which, added to the 17,910
bales from Rio, makes a total export of cot**
ton from Brazil, for 1870, of 36,190 Brazilian
bales, which is less in weight than twenty*
ight thousand Americas bales.
