FRIDAY MORNING. OCT. 4, 1807.
Gentlemanly Highwaymen.
From the Austin (Nevada) Reveille of Sep
tember 0 we cut the following instance of stage
robbery, that reduces the poetry of fiction to
the prose of fact:
We have received the following account of
the robbery of Wells, Fargo «fc Co.’s stage at
the Desert Wells staliou on Friday, the 6th in
stant froih M" James P. Ciough, one of the
passengers. The stage arrived at the station at
one o’clock, p. ni., at which time the rohbers
had been in possession of it for two hours,
having bound me hostler aud the cook at the
rear of the buildings. As the stage drove up
to the station, three robbers, completely mask
ed stepped out of the building and covered
the driver and passengers with double-barreled
shot guns, and ordered them to get- down.
There were eight, passengers, who, with the
driver, obeyed the robbers’ mandate. Having
alighted nicy were placed in a row facing the
building, anti iokl that if they looked back they
would be shot. Their hands were then tied
behind their backs by one of the robbers, while
the other two held their shot guns pointed at
them, and eaeh passenger was searched for
weapons, but nothing more effective than a
pocket knife was found. They then proceeded
to tiie more interesting search for money, of
which they obtained, all told, about S6OO.
Nearly all the passengers had watches, seve
ral of which were very valuable; hut the rob
bers did not take any of them, remarking that
they did not want such tell-tale trinkets. They
did not destroy or take any of the. papers be
longing to the passengers, or exhibit any un
necessary rufllauism, but acted like reasonable
knights of the road. Passengers and driver
were theu ordered to the rear of the stable anc!
placed under guard of one of the robbers,
while the other two went lo the stage for the
treasure box, wbieh they were seen to break
open and search. Having finished this, they
unhitched the horses from the stage and un
harnessed them, and drove them into the eor
ral. One of them ;n ked the driver il his “-out"
team had been fed, aud learning that it had
not, the hostler was untied and ordered to feed
the animals. The robbers had prepared and
ate i’leir dinner at Ihe station, and they told
the passengers there was “ some left,” and if
they were hungry they would untie them and
let them eat. They frequently asked the pas
sengers if they wore dry, and offered to bring
them water. They appeared to be considerate
rascals, with some bowels of compassion. They
were communicative, too; they expressed their
disgust at the extreme poverty of the passen
gers, and said “it wouldn’t pay them to run
round the country to pick up such poor
crowds that if they had made a good haul
they would leave the country, but as they had
not they would be obliged to try it again. At
half-past five o’clock the driver was released
and told to untie the passengers, who got
into the coach, and the order was given to
drive off.
It has been discovered by the Germans in
Texas that the common bn<r which infests en
cumber, pumpkin and similar vines, is the
deadlv enemy of the cotton worm, and that the
iatter'doesDot abound where the former does.
So they are planting pumpkins, squash, etc., in
the cotton fields to advantage, and the discov
ery may lead to a greater variety of crops at the
South.
A mile or so from town a mau met a boy on
horseback crying with cold.
«Why don’t you get down and lead the
horse?” said the man, “ that’s the way to get
warm.” „ TANARUS„. ~
“ It’s a b-b-borrowed horse, and 111 ride him
if 1 f-f-freeze!” whispered the boy.— Exchange.

[From the N. Y. Express, 30th ult.
The Jewish New Year.
Os all the existing nationalities, the Jew
ish is undoubtedly the oldest, and is the
corner stone of all religious creeds. Every
year the investigations of travelers bring
to light new facts relative tb the great area
of territory which ancient Judea command
ed and farther proofs of the Divine origin
of the Bible, in the spread of the Jewish
people. No land is so . remote but gives
evidence of their presence, and it is claimed
by those familiar with the interior of Asia
that millions still live the descendants of
the so-styled “ Lost Tribes.” Mysterious
as the fate of these people are, the existence
and very presence of a people, who are at
once the evidence for and against Christian
ity in our midst, is a matter of interest to
all. Whilst the Mosaic code is the absolute
foundation for all moral, criminal, and reli
gious laws, the Christian people are too apt
to ignore the fact that the descendants of
King David, the “children of the covenant,”
remain with us a remarkable testimony to
all we hold dear in religion. Without them
where would be the testimony to the re
markable history of Christianity ? When
ever an Israelite is to be found, exists a liv
ing memorial of all that can be held sacred,
and as such the “ chosen people,” although
scattered, without a country' of their own
—without possession of that Holy Land
which is their inheritance, should be judged,
not by the alleged, and by no means proven
crimes of history, but by their own great
constancy and faith, alike creditable to their
birth and inheritance as to their intellectual
and civil worth. We speak of the Jews as
a nation—and a nationality they have.—
Without a political dominiou or land of
their own, scattered throughout the four
quarters of the globe, they still claim to be
the chosen of the Almighty—still preserve,
with a persistency nnparallelled, the rites
and ceremonies of their fathers, and look
forward with hope and constancy to the
time when, in accordance with their sacred
prophecies, they shall be again collected
aud established in the kingdom of Israel.
It is a remarkable fact that the Jews alone
of all nations, handing down the Sacred
Books from remote antiquity, have in all
their wanderings and wide dispersions pre
served as a living tongue the language in
which the Scriptures were composed. Be
lievers of other creeds have original gospels
in dead languages; only the Jews have
preserved the original tongue of the pro
phets.
Every church claims to have a superior
holiness, to be the “only saving” church,
to possess the exclusive or at least particu
lar favor of Heaven ; and such the Jewish
church makes with a deserved degree of
propriety. This claim is founded, not on
the supposed force of the evidences for
their faith only, nor even principally, but
rather on the letter of the Scriptures. They
can cite a vast multitude of passages
which caimot be gainsayed, among which
are the following; /
“Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of
priests and a Holy Nation.”—Ex. xix. (i.

“ I will establish my covenant between
me and thee (Abraham) and thy seed after
thee, in their generations, for an everlast
ing covenant.”—Gen. xvii. 7.
“ My covenant I will not break, nor after
the thing that is gone out of my lips.”—
Psalms ixxxix. 34.
Under these and similar prophetic assur
ances, t hey base their claims as the chosen
and peculiar people of the Deity, recog
nized by Christians as well as themselves,
and feel themselves bound to remain faith
ful and steadfast iu their observance of
Moses and the creed of their fathers.—
Among the most impressive of the histori
cal services of the church is that of to day
—the New Year With the Hebrews in
thetk- Clays of government in .Palestine,
there were two New Year days—an eccle
siastical and a civil. The former tvas ob
served at the time of seed planting—the
latter at harvest time. The civil year com
mences with to-day, and is observed by the
many of the faith in our land as well as in
all climes where- one of the “ chosen ”
dwells, by appropriate ceremonies impress
ive iu character and grand in their historical
associations. They commenced to-day and
extend over to-morrow —because in the lapse
of ages it has become a matter of doubt as to
which day is the proper oue to be held as
holy. So to avoid dispute, and to be cer
tain of commemorating the right one, both
are held sacred. It is held by Talmudic,al
authorities that this clay is the anniversary
of the first Sabbath—of the completion of
the creation of the earth, and is therefore
held in great reverence, and it is by no
means unusual to find a grand gathering
together of Israelites in prominent cities.—
It is so at present in New York, where, per
haps, we do not exaggerate in saying there
are at present some fifty or sixty thousand
of the faithful. The presence of so large a
body of people, who still cling to all that is
ancient iu faith, and yet follow the paths of
modern avocations with honor aud profit
to themselves, must necessarily exercise an
influence in our community; and we can
say with just pride that such influence is of
a character beyond reproach. The Jewish
people, as a class, combine within them
selves all the elements of greatness—in in
tellectual pursuits they rise above the level,
aud in point of probity and industry can
challenge comparison with all other creeds.
The age of bigotry, however, is not over,
aud we frequently see the term “ Jew” used
with the view of conferring obliquity aud
disgrace. As long as a Jew lives that term
caiinot be made to bear disgrace, save.it re
flects directly on Christianity; for we are
all descendants of oue parent, and the Sa
viour himself was of that family and belief.
We congratulate our Jewish friends on the
recurrence of their festival, and cordially
join them in their prayers for an ensuing
year of prosperity and happiness.
Encounter With an Eagle.—ln a solitary
hunting expedition toward the regiou of Deer
Lake, William Merthevet, living in the interior
of this State, reached a point on a small branch
running southwardly from the Carp river, in
section 27. Early one morning his attention
was attracted by a rushing sound, as if some
tremendous bird was flying through the thick
foliage overhead. He looked np'audtohis
astonishment and admiration beheld a golden
eagle, with outstretched wings, .just alighting
upon a dead iiiv.b some two feet only above his
head.
Seizing a knotted pine stick, weighing some
twelve or fourteen pounds, and about five feet
in length, he struck at the eagle’s head, but
the bird caught the blow on his wings and
warded it off, anil immediately retaliated by
swooping Irotn his perch upon Mr. Mertkevet’s
head, and seizing his nose in his beak and,
planting his talons in his right eye, dislocated
me one ard seriously injured the other. This
was accomplished before the unfortunate man
could pick up his case knife which was lying
stone, only a tew paces distant. His rifle
hung upon the twig of a tree, also several feet
ofl'.
Mr. Merthevet succeeded in disengaging him
self from the grasp of the infuriated bird, and
bleeding and blinded rushed for his rifle and
to seize his knife. A second time the bird re
turned to the attack, but was this time met on
the point of the knite, which the matt plunged
iuto his body under one of his wings, while the
eagle struck him a violent blow which felled
him to the earth. The bird now attempted to
soar aloft but the knife had reached a vital
point, and flapping his wings with a dull scream,
he fell lifeless to the ground.
Faint with pain aud the exhaustion conse
quent upon the loss of blood, Mr. Merthevet
lay for some time unconscious where he last
fell. After a time, however, he recovered suffi
ciently to be able to rise, and bandage as well
ns lie was able ;iis wounded eye and broken
nose, and took up his march for the nearest
point of shelter. This he found at the camp of
some Indians, who dressed his wounds and
cared for him until he was able to return home.

WEDNESDAY, the 3d of OCTOBER. All the
branches of a thorough anil extended course of educa
tion will be taught, and unsurpassed advantages afford
ed the pupils, especially in the Natural Sciences, the
Mathematics and Ancient Languages. The Principal
of this School—formerly President of Synodical Col

note —deems it unnecessary to add an extended notice
of his plan of instruction, as it is well known to the
thousands of pupils whom he has had under his tuition.
SESSIONS—The scholastic year will be divided
into two equal tekms, of twenty weeks each.
RATES OF TUITION:
First Department, per Term $35 00

Tuition payable, in all cases in advance. No extra
charge for the Latin or Greek Languages. For the
Modern Languages, Drawing, Painting and Music,

It will be seen that the rates of tuition arc graduated
to suit the “hardness of the times” and the scarcity
of money.

man of great worth and promise.

JL 1113 TIE, with the HOOP complete, weighs no
more than the usual rope used in haling cotton, and
lenders an allowance for tare unnecessary, ft looses
no slack while putting on, nndisso perfect that tb<»
necessity for heavy hoops, to make up for dcfieiencie
in the TIE, is eniireiy obviated.
Can lie sold by the pound or ton, as cheaply as tho
heavy hoops and less perfect ties. Kacli and every
TIE is warranted perfect.
As an evidence of'the estimation in which thesa
TIES are held, we herewith append the certificate of
the Agent ot the Central Cotton Press in this city. If
a competent judge can he found anywhere as to the
merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely be so
considered, as he presses thousands of bales of Cotton
every year, and Ties of all patents are constantly pass
ing through his hands.
Ofhoh of the Central Cotton Press, )
Savannah, May 27th, 1807. )
Messrs. K. W. Sims <fe Cos.,
Agents for Dillon’s “ Universal') in,” Savannah.
Dear Sirs : In my business of compressing Cotton,
I have had occasion to examine closely all of the vari
ous Ties for iron bands u.ed in baling Cotton, and
pleasure in testifying to the superiority overall others
of the UNIVERSAL TIE.” It is as easily ad
justed and is much stronger than any other Tie.
A Tie that is not good at the Press is not good at
the Plantation, as nearly all the Cotton is compressed
at the Ports, and a weak Tie must then be replaced by
a good one at the expense of the planter. I have
never seen one of your TIES break, though 1 pitched
a hale of Cotton secured by them out of a ccond
story to the ground without any break to the fall.
Under these circumstances I unhesitatingly recom
mend the “ UNIVERSAL TIE ” to every Planter, as
combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled
strength.
