I struck him vio lently and UO fell upon a pile of atones at his ‘side, and injured hls'left hip so hidly that the result Vas—ho was crippled for life/ said Mr. Hanford id tones of deepest sorrow fthd remorse, tod covering his face with his hands. A period of oppressive silence followed, which was 'at 'East brokob by Mr. Hanford saying : ‘ When I found that my boy did not rUc fiom the stones on which he had fallen [ seized him by the arm and rudely pulled him 'to his foot, and was about to strike nim again when soihetlfing that I saw in his face—his look—arrested lUy anil, and •! asked him if lio was hurt. , ‘I am afraid that-I aril pa/ ho mildly ah 'sVrerod, clinging tn my arid for shpport.’ ‘ Where V I asked, in great alarm, for not withstanding nry brutality, I fairly idolized tho boy/ 1 Hero he replied, laying his hand Upon his ‘hip,’ ‘ In silenoe I took huh in my arms and carried him to his bod, from which he never arose the same bright, active, glorious boy that I had so cruelly struck down on that pile of stones. But after many months he came forth, a pale, saddened, little ’follow, hobbling on a crutch/ Hero Mr. Hanford broke down and wept like a child, and the. tears also rolled down Doring’s checks. "When ho resinned Mr. Hanford said’; .... ‘This is a humiliatihg n'arrat‘ve, neighbor Daring, and I would not have related it to you had I not supposed that you needed the lesson which it contains. It is impossible for me to give you any adequate notion of the suffering that ! have undergone on ac count of my brutal rashnes to iliy boy. But fortunately it lias been overruled to ihy own wood, and to that of my family also. The remedy, though terrible, was complete, and no other child of mine hasever been punish ed by me except when I tvas in. the. full pos session and exercise of my best facilities anil when my sense of duty has been chastened and softened by reason and affection. ‘I devoted- mv-cll to poor Charley frbrii the -time ho left hm bod, and we catUo to under ‘bland one another as I think but few fathers and sons over do.

Still, neighbor O wing, I should he sorry to have yon and your son William pass through a similar ordeal.' ‘ I trust that wo shall not,’ emphatically and gravely responded Doring. ‘ [ thank you for your story, friend Hanford, and I shall try to profit, ty it 5 , , y*nd he did profit by it, and we hope that every parent, who i.s capable of strikikg his child in angi'r nr petulance, that reads this sketchii(V, will profit by it. Hirer Sr,me in n Place of Worship. [From the Kd’mburgh Soot.niian.] An extraordinary scene occurred in the evening. Tho Kov. Donald Grunt was acting for the rogn lur minister, who was absent in Edinburgh. Some minute-* before the hoar fixed for enh mencing the service, Mr. Grant suddenly as etnde/ the pulpit, and, without waiting for In church nfliecr to bring tip the Bible and Psalm honk. Joined over the pulpit and ask ed a Psalm hook from the choir (who sit around the percenter in a largo pew in front of the pilpir). One of the singers handed a hook up to him, and ho immediately read out the wh> In of the I IMh ihn, which consists of twenty nine versos. Before he hal ftnish cl the Dsahn. iho officer made his appearance with the Bible and Psalm hook, and seemed considerably surprised that the Revernod gen tlemni. had ensenn-'cd himself in the pulpit, without waiting to ho ushered in as u-mab Mr. (,raut, without waiting for the choir to sing, proceeded to pray at length, making snipe pointed to the choir before him as not Cei'Og exactly According to his mind. lie then gave out the both P>altn. but, ..eforo he allowed the choir to sing, ho began to ** expound” the psalm, in the course of which ho condemned the choir as an innova tion which ought to bo put down. They wore worse than an organ, ho said, which was dis allowed in all the free churches of Scotland, —the organ being only dead to good, but the choir was more than that, it was alive to evil. To allow them to sing “ would he worse than Eniscopalianism-, Puscyism,” &o.; and lie con cluded by saying, “ I say that a child of God ought to lefid the singing; ho unconverted man ought to lead the singing; I have a child of God to lead the singing 57 Mr. Grant called upon an elder ot a deacon to lead the singing, but failed in getting any one to rhako a response. He then singled out the “rul ing” elder in the congregation, and called up on him by name to lead the singing. Thar gentleman went up to the pulpit and told the preacher that there was a. precentor appoint ed for toe purpose of leading the psalmody. Then turning to Mr. Forrest, the elder said, in a tone generally audible, that Mr. For rest would please to lead the singing.” The precentor, along with the Choir, began, and all went smoothly for a little. After reading a chapter in his own way, Mr. Grant said,. “ I believe some people in this congregation, are fond of road sor as. Well, I rathci 4 like them myself, and I will read you one/ Ho then read for about live minutes from a sermon by Richard Baxter, it is supposed; hut suddenly stopped short, and looking (Wn at the female singers siding in their usCal place, he told them emphatically, “ You gills ought not to bo there—l say you ought tot to bo there—that is tlu seat for the oldfrs and deacons.” The excitement of the congp gation was greater thin ever. The female singers quailed before his searching glanoj, and made fur the vestvv.

As an u'tnrhc of the Memphis Appeal ‘I followed tin* peregrinations of that erratic 'jourUarum.il it culminated at Atlanta, where l I was persuasively induced tb‘cutortl:c army, by’ the logic of .onVcriptmn, from which there, was ):'o appeal Through certain influences, among other knr.wing'General Chilton, Gen eral Lee’s adjutant general, I had the privi lege of volunteering, and consequently polec 'ted the Army of Northern Virginia. I re ported rliyself to General Leo on the 2Gr.li day of August, 1802, ucai Orange Court House, ‘and was at once assigned to duty, by Gonef- Chilton, as scout and lourier. 'During the time I was with him, I «.f course had many opportunities of fonhinga judgment of his character, and will say, anhtrsiitor Us ho is, and opportunities ho may lave lost to amel iorate the condition of federal prisoners— knowingly, ho would have never permitted the i^oss'crucltlcs-practiced upa Union sol diers. Gn tlib day after 1 reported, we broke camp find effected the passage of,the Rappahan nock after a bloody fight. The horning of the 22d, I was sent for by General Chilton, near Little Washington, and, on gVmgto his quarters, was asked if 1 would unlortakc a perilous expedition. T. told him I would.— He took mo in the next room and mid Gen eral Leo that he hid a man tlmt ho 'bought would answer. The general asked hmif he knew me. General Chilton said that he did, and that T could bo relied on. General Leo, contrary to his usual manner, appeared rest less and somewhat excited. Ho said ; “ Gen eral make it a positive order to General Jackson to march through Thorough Gap and attack the enemy in the rear, while I ad vance in id's front, and, young man, if you are not well-mounted, my inspector-general will see that you arc." I told him General Chilton had mounted me well. Ho then said: “ You must (:sb diligence and dispjitch, for much depends upon General Jackson's V.v ociviug this in time." By this time General Chilton had finished the dispatch. I mount ed my horse and started. The night after, I fuund the General, delivered my dispatch, and was ordered to remain with him. The morning after, we attacked the enemy and forced our way through the Gap. The same day wo motored General Pope’s headquar ters, k ith all his'porson u baggage. Tt was a series of fights until it culminated in the sec ond Manassas, where I rejoined General Lee, The day we crossed the river, the General caused an order to bo read of the head of on Maryland soil, any attempt at marauding by his command would bo summarily check ed , and enjoined upon compa LLy_oilic.ei'S to keep n watch on the men, as he would hold them responsible .for their conduct. The consequence was that little or no damage was done private property. What the precise object in crossing over into Maryland was, I atn unable to say, was other, I know, then I the capture of H.irpei’s Ferry. At Antietam, about 3 o’clock In the after noon, when the battle raged lierce-it ami the eonlederate lino had broken on tiic right, I never saw in that usually calm countenance agony mure plaiuly depicted. 1 was just be hind him when bo rofib np tc a battery that wassuhicct to ft murderous enfilading fire and exclaimed, “Maintain your position. Cap tain, at all hazards, for all the salvation of the confederacy depends upon it.", That night 1 hoard him say to General A. P. Hill, “ General, if wo-hid had Jackson’s stragglers, who are acres* the river, the fate of the war would have leoii decided to day." The morning of the kith, while sitting on my horse in front cf tic General’s quarters, I was ordered to diamJuntand report to him personally. On procuring myself ho said, “ Take this dispute* to general Jackson,” giving me a small rote inclosed in an envel ope. As I started oat, fit spoke-abruptly to me, “Young nun you will find hini on the extreme left ; urake it your business to report 1 to me ns soon as your horse will take you thtro find baol to mo.” I felt somewhat an noyed at sum peremptory orders, but still determined b execute them. On my arrival at Jacksonk headquarters, situated in the woods, I dsivertd my dispatch. He appear ed surpris-’dt and turning to an aid-de-camp, Cantain .Voods,-remarked, “ can it be tilings are so.” : He ordered me to accompany back, ard on the road 1 heard remarks as “ Is itpossiblo,” “ No, he would never dare,” “ Wo will never permit it,” all tending to convive nle there were tilings afloat coiVcern- previous day’s fight, which reflected on /flue one who was in the wrong. It-did nofrequire long, after our arrival at head q/irters, to find oat what that wrong was.— ye will premise by stating that after the but te of the 17th, continued until as late as 9 “Clock in the flight, both armies the follow ing morning, mutually ox luusted, restrained from infantry practice, and. consequently, no fighting, other them artillery, disturbed the day. The night of the 17th, Jackson or dered one of his brigade commanders, the 2d Louismna brigade, t» talco a position-, prepar atory to a renewal of the fight on the follow ing morning, which was positively contrary to Dec’s orders, as his design was, as I am suio, to attempt to cross the Potomac that night. This brigade, by its incessant picket lighting, prevented the crossing of the anfly. Tims Lee, incensed at Jackson, had ordered him to report. Jackson's staff wore indig nant at the manner he w:n ordered at head quarters, and, consequently, were rather bel ligerent in their expressions. However, Gen eral Jackson was received courteously by General Lee, and the few words I was per mitted to hear would never lead mo to sup pose there was a single harsh feeling existing between th 6 two. Shortly lifter tins t was sent across tho riv er to General J. B. B. Stuart, who was en deavoring to organize tho imnlbnaa number of stragglers in and about Shepardstown.— Ilia orders were to bring his mounted force* over the river, as tho army would recross to tho Virginia side that night.

General Loo's own thanner was suf ficiently indicative of a great disappbintment. Besides, while wo were in Hagerstown, ex- Govcrhor Entfoh Lewis Lowe, of Maryland, who wis in Richmond, was expressly dis patched, to my certain knowledge, to hasten I on to Maryland, where ho was to ho invested with tho power of military governor of the State. 6n his way thither, he stopped a night in Winchester, and made a speech from the portico of the hotel, there stating Whither he was going and for what, This is troll knoWn in Winchester, and on rhyarrd val thcrc, dozens of persohs who had heard die speech told me cf it. Alas for the ex governor. Ho reached the Potomac just in I time to welcome us back to the sacred soil i Tho General had boon most persistently crammed with stories of tho unanimous Southern feeling of die state. “It heeds’but our army to show itself there,” argued those Marylanders, and untold numbers of recruits would bo added to our army, 50,000, some went as high. Well, tho result: some three hundred, all told. Tho soldiery had ilso been told by the Marylanders among ‘theth, to what a land of “ milk and honey” they were going; every thing mind could wish for, just for the asking—lndeed, with out tho asking for it would bo one spontane ous out-pourihg of all tho inhabitants pos sessed on tho heads, or rather in the stom achs, of their bravo deliverers from the “.iron heel of despotism.’' It was, therefore, with a considerable feeling of genuine disgust, that t’ y saw themselves, in almost every instance, compelled to pay for what they procured to eat.

MASTERS, Those Doreens who have never been in the South, and who have formed their ideas of the southern slaves from the industrious and '■comparatively intelligent negroes and iiuilat tbca whom we see around Us in the northern cities, have no ad#£[Uiito conception of the real character of the negroes at the South.— Accustomed, all their lives, to implicit ebed’i | oneo'; accustomed to a regular and Unvary ing rontinb of'ilibor ; accustomed to rely up on their miistera for instruction and direction, Tdr food, for Clothing, for medicine when sick, and for tlie support of their hged hhd infirm parents, they are bewildered at the new posi tions in which they find thotiisolves. In a few exceptional cases, the negroes on some plantations have been sensible chohgh to re main, and to make engagements With their former owners to continue their labors bb. the old places ; and in all such cases the former ma.-uers have employed their'negroes in pre ference to seeking other help, add are payihg them fV.ir wages. | nvniu'AUAN’r ihE'.'.s or tlie si.a’i es But lhet favor is, in brief, to employ those of the ne groes who are willing to work, paying them fair wages, and to employ, also, two white meh whenever they offer of the right 1 iia'. to every four negroes; and then, to ci.rwrve carefully their relative value us lahom ,j ; and if. as it supposed, the white laborers turn out to be the most profitable, gradually increase the white laborers and dimmish the number of negroes employed. In this way ; the Southern States will eventually become free {States indeed, but in a way nut at all ; contemplated by the abolitionist agitator? of | 18d0. I IVAIVT WILL hECOME OF THE NTCIV), What will become of tho negro race (hen? This, indeed, is a serious question, and one which Mr. Charles Sumner'and his followers had done, well to consider six years ago. If Iheyhail been content to let the negro alone, the hitter would have been secure in the • •mn forts of Koine forever. Hy their sudden abo lition d( slaVcry, they ha\e paved the way to the certain extermination, of tho black race in America, an event which may possibly be accelerated by a ivgro insurrection or a ser vile war. At ail events, the two races, both free, cannot live togctlnr. The negro can never become a citizen id' the .South. Wen dell Phillips receives tnis fact clearly, audit is this that renders him ce hesti 1 *: to Presi dent Johnson's policy. The negro ch.fi fever compete with the white race, either in the in tellectual or in the agricultural field of labor. M herever the two races have come in compc tilion tho negro has gone down, and so it will .bo in this instance. God has so ordained it, mid timu ciuniot alter toe accrues ut uua. _vtXLULznE-somi-nA.s-i>o.vifwr,--t-iie -A-atu-ea-N- I*.a* i: M by is it, that as century after century has rolled away the negro in Africa lias not made any advances in civilization, as the na tions of Asia, and Europe, and America have done ? There arc forty-three millions of pure negroes in Africa, not counting the Egypt ians ami Nubians, and the inhabitants of the countries bordering on the Mediterranean.— Why have they built no cities or railroads, invented no machinery, written no books ? The neg’o ofto-Jay in Africa is the negro of six thon.-and years ago. He has not advanc ed one step in civilization during all that time. He is still a ferocious cannibal, running na ked in the woods, ami selling his captives lor slaves. The curse of God is o pun the race. The only amelioration "they have ever re ceived has been at the hands of the ii'iueh abused Southern people. In the Southern States they have been humanized, civilized, and Jhiistumir.ed. A “loyal" paper sneered at the Catholics the other day because the Catholic missions in Africa had not succeed ed in Christianizing the natives.. Jsut what denomination has succeeded in Africa ? . It is in the Southern States, and by the south ern people alone, that the negroes have been made Christiana and brought to the knowl edge of the true God. Gn every largo plan tation the negroes had their chfirch and their minister. Their good friends, the abolition ists, have deprived them of these. tiflUID. A Sliulliiig Scene in ITi'nrcli. There were many thrilling scenes in the New England churches during the revolu tionary war. The following one occurred in Sharon, Connecticut, under the ministry of Rev. Cotton Mather Smith. It is found in Headley's “ Chaplains of the Revolution Mr. Smith one Sunday took for his text a part of Isaiah xxi, 11. 12: “Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said: The morning coiileth.” The question in die the first jiMt of this passage had been the daily, almost hourly, inquiry for nearly a month, of every ono of that congregation, and hence its appropriateness was keenly felt, hue the startling announcement, “The .morning 001110111,” took them by surprise, and they could net at first comprehend its significance, or how it could bo adapted to the present gloomy prospect. Had ho heard any good nows? What happened tha* he could say so confidently : “ The morning cpm eth?" No, he hud nothing new to fell tlicip, only to proclaim over again his unshaken confidence in God’s proifiisos. He did not attempt to conceal of lessen the calamities that find beflUlcn the country, nor deny that a'.fearful crisis was at hand. He acknowl edged that to human appearance “ clouds and darkness were round about God’s throne,' but said that the eye of faith could pierce the gloom. The throne was there, though wrap pod in impenetrable darkners. In all the disasters that had successively overwhelmed them, ho traced the hand of God, and declar ed that, to Ilia fciud, they clearly indicated some striking interposition of Divine Provi dence about to take place in their behalf. —- “ Man's extremity was God’s opportunity.” Our extremity had come, and now was the time for him to make Imre “ Ilia arm for the deliverance of the people.” • Prophcl-likc, kindlingywiih Ihs vision on which the eyes of ho: (nub routed, Ifo boldly dropped the general sobject of God’s faith -1 ulncss, ami told his astonished hearers that he believed they were on the point of hear ing extraordinary news of victory to our arms. Ho would not wait for an indefinite 1 "futm-eTo~{wavo“his“faitlrtrrb'o — itcll - ibuifdoirj —ho was willing to bring it id tlio teat of j the present. They might judge whether ho was right or wrong, for, said hof “ The morn- 1 mg now cometh.” I see its beams already gilding the mountain tops, and you-shall soon behold its brightness bursting over tho land.” . ,’fV 10 cannot .imagine the effect of such lau guago uttered by tho minister of God in such a time of suspense. Flo ceased, and, as ho closed tho Bible and exclaimed Amen I so lot it bc/ , a silence, profound and rested on the audience. Kadi one seemed to feel as if an invisible presence was there, and some weighty announcement was just at band. Suddenly f ho deep hush was broken by tho distant clatter of a horse’s hoof along tho road. The sharp and rapid strokes told of swift riding and of urgent haste. They knew at once what it meant, lor days and weeks their eyes had strained tip the street that led northward, to catch sight of the messenger of good or cvil tidings that was hourly ex pected. lie had cmiio at last, and ns nearer, clearer, rang the sound of that wild gallop on tho listening ear, each looked in mute and earnest inquiry into Ms neighbor’s face.— Ihght on through tho place; straight for tho meeting-house, darted the swift rider, and drawing rein at the door, leaped from tho' saddle, and leaving his foam covered steed unattended, strode ihto the main aisle. On the silence that- filed the building like a sen sible presence Ills armed heel rung like tho lA'ws of a hammer. As he passed a sudden paleness spread over the crowd offa cc3 turned with a painful eagerness toward him. J.’nt looking neither to urn clg'.it, nor the icft, the drea I Messenger parsed on, and, mounting the pulpit* stairs, hauled the pas tor a letter.

Col. D. 11. lluyeLt, wbo commanded tho !2th Tennessee Infantry in the Confederate Army, died in Washington, on tho 12th inst., from the effects of a wound received in tho battle of Sailors Creek.

A SunrnsTioN' to Farmers. —Farmers ancl business men generally, who have been in trif.hmif. an account of their receipts and expenditures, “experience- grfeut difficulty in making a cor*' root return of their income to tho 17. S. As sessor. To avoid tins perplexity in the fu ture, every man doing business should prvido himself with a memorandum book and carry it in hie Vncket, end whenever ho makes a purchase, il it is but five cents worth, put it down. And in like manner if he disposes of anything from his workshop, or his farm, ho : should write it down, then at the end of tho year ho would have no difficulty of arriving at his income and expenditure, and could make out his return to tho U. S. Assessor accurately and without difficulty. Let every ono commence this method of doing business at once, and ho will soon become ac customed to it, when it will bo just as easy to do it as any other branch of business. As it is not at all probable that the present debt of the baited States will be paid oif within tho next fifty years, every man should educate his children to the keeping of accounts.— Teach it to them in tneir childhood as you would to read cr write. Douluioum (/A(.,) Democrat. A Good S: jkv or Css. Hancock.— A pri vate hitter received in this city relates the following good story of how Gen. HauoOek took down a parcel of swaggering officers.— It seems that a number of officers and sol diers crowded pa*t the conductor of one of the trains at Ualtiiuorc bound North, and seated themselves in the ladies' oar. They were drinking, smoking, swearing, and con ducting themselves in the most disgusting manner. The conductor came ir. and order e I them out of the car, whereupon a oaptaiu in the jurty placed the conductor under ar rest, and compelled him to sit in the corner of the car and keep quiet. A stranger in a military cloak had been watching the manoeu vres of these swaggering bullies, and at this juncture stepped op to the captain and de manded to know tho cause of the disturbance, “ Hold your tongue,” said the captam, “or I will put yon under arrest too.” “I think not,” said tho stranger, and beckoning to an. orderly who had been sitting near him, ha said, “ Pot those men in irons,” and throw ing off his cloak disclosed- to their ostoniHiod view the stars of a Major-Genera'., Givo i“o a full list of these men,” said the Gener al. Ilis demand was instantly complied with, *• Now go to the smoking car, and re port to me at nine o’clock to-morrow morn ing, at No.— in Philadelphia.” They re ported the next morning, and tho privates were deprived of their furlough, r.iid the offi cer dismitsed. —Monbhcstev (X. 11.)
