WEDNESDAY, : : : JANUARY 20, 1864.
TATTELL QOTELXj.
. The task of the novelist-biographer may be
pleasant; but that of the biographer of a liv
ing individual is one of great difficulty. On
the one hand there is danger of being over
come by personal, favor to (be subject, and on
the other, that in trying to be impartial, one
may so easily be unjust. Some may have
hoard of the man who stood so erect that he
leaned backward.
The name at the head of this article never
pertained to any person hy birth or baptism ;
nor can it be said to pertain to any one mem
ber of any community. It, rather, stands for
the genius of most small villages, and may not
fail of application to the genius which pre
sides over the domestic matters of rural neigh
borhoods. True it is, that we have never yet
entered a neighborhood that we did not meet
with Tatell Gotell.
Being sexless, the subject of this notice
must find pronominal expression in it. This,
as all will readily comprehend, is embarassing.
But there is no help for it. Tattell Gotell is of
the common gender, (see Murray, Brown & Co.)
third person, plural number, and overwhelm
ingly in the—accusative.
The first time we met with Tattell Gotell,
according to the best of recollection, was du
ring the years that lie between the tender ages
of six and eight. We remember it well. It
entered the house one morning in the early
summer, clad in shilling calico not'over tidy,
and a green “ calash” bonnet. If professed to
be in a great hurry, having only left the dishes
unwashed at home to run over and see if "your
folks” had beard tba news. It always knew
that Miss Jones would stretch the—truth, but
“ never would nv b’lieved" that she would tell
lies out of whole cloth. Miss Jones had told
Mary Smith that Lucy Johnson said that
“your folks” worked Saturday nights, though
they .pretended, tn toop thom very strict.
Mary Smith told Lucy Johnson what Miss
Jones said she said, and Lucy got mad as fire
and said that Miss Jones was the allfiredest
liar in Sodom. So Mary Smith went over to
Miss Joneses and told her what Lucy Johnson
said. Then Miss Jones flared up and said that
she never told Lucy Johnson “no sich a thing;”
and that anyway there was some things about
that hussy that “ wouldn’t bear tellin,” but
that she. Miss Jones, could make her, Lacy,
" sbet her head” pretty quick, if she “ was
a mind to.”
This was prclty much Greek to onr untu
tored mind; but it turned out that the neigh
borhood was in for a six months rumpus, and
that "Miss Jones” got her knowledge of the 1
alleged breach of Saturday nights from no oth
er than Tattell Gotell.
From that time vre watched the course of
Tattell Gotell with considerable fidelity. One j
fine morning in winter Miss Isabel Prim, the j
school-ma’am, and Mrs. Deacon Snooks awoke
to find themselves famous. Tattell had dis
covered Tom Tiddler tying Miss Prim’s shoe,
and straitway declared, with a mysterious air,
that Mies Prim “ was no better than she should
be.” Tattell also insinuated in all the neigh
bors’ houses that if Mrs. Deacon Snaokses face
was red and _ blotchy, “ there was good reason
for it." There might be some folks who called
it “ arrysipulds,". but " arrysipuius did not
make one’s breath “ smell like an old cider
barrel.” Tattell bad seen Mrs. Deacon Snook
see nose in the big white pitcher for five min
utes at a time; so long, in fact, that it seemed
as if “ she could hold her breath forever.”
These insinuations were not long in reaching
their objects. And such a hubbub as they
raised may we never hear again. Both Miss
Prim and Mrs. Snooks were members of the
church of course; and the hubbub raged until
both were “ hauled over the coals." Investi
gation proved that Tom Tiddler bad performed
the very cheap courtesy of lacing Mias'Prim’s
shoe, and that Mrs, Deacon Snooks had only
drank a glass of egg-nogg with Parson Toby
—and that Tattell Gotell, though present, and
hankering after a glass of the same, bad not
been invited to imbibe. The upshot of the af
fair was the expulsion of Tattell from the
neighborhood for a month or two, and a sea
son of peace and good feeling for the same
length of time.
But even the locust has its periodical return,
and Tattell Gotell could, no more be extin
guished than the whooping-cough. It re
turned to that neighborhood, and, being übi
quitous, appeared in every other neighborhood
at the same time. ITo remember, of Tattell’s
notable deeds, one in particular. The people
ofitbe neighborhood in which wo happened to
reside wanted a teacher. One was recommen
ded to their consideration by friends living at
a distance. . Uo was sent for, stared at, lis
t.eqCd. to„ and. discussed Urn usual time„an4da

dared to be “ tbo eery thing"—a most remark*
able person altogether. He was engaged. Ha
came, and brought his family. For a season
he was exalted to the skies. “ "Was there'ever
each a man ?” “ Never.” ...
But this coaid not last forever. Tattell Qo
tell went a ecavengarlng and made a discot*
ery. Tattell gloated- over the discovery and
filled the neighborhood with amazement. Tat
tcll discovered that the now teacher end his
wife were human; that they were not angels;
that Mr. Duncan drank coffee and ate beef
steak, and that Mrs. Duncan drank coffee, and
“mebba.sathm else;" that though both were
the public's humble servants, they rather de
sired to preserve their identity, to hove some
privacy, in short—to remain human, while in
the body, at least. This horrible perversity
shocked Tattell Gotell more than words could
express. So Tattell swore a great oath that
if the Duncans would not meekly become
" nobody,” then they should be made uncom
fortable. Therefore Tattell whispered to Big
ginsea wife, who whispered to Digginses wife,
who whispered to Higginses wife, who whis
pered to Wigginses wife, who whispered to
*■ Pigginses wife and grown-up darters," who,
altogether, pretty much murdered the peace of
poor Mrs. Duncan with their doll baby, kitten
fanged gossip. The fact was—if th e Duncans
would have submitted to being plundered of
their identity and everything else they oonld
have lived in peace to the end of their iimo.
But they lacked foresight, and suffered the con
sequences.
And the rest of the doings of Tattell Go
tell—shall they be written ? Who has not seen
Tattell, and huw few have gone unscathed of
Tattell’a fangs ? But because Tattell flourishes
most the righteous mourn 1 Even roses have
thorns, and fire burns the rash child that tri
fles with the brand. Yet roses are sweet and
beautiful, and, fire is a glowing comfort. So,
the world is a tolerable world, ofilleted as it is
with the tongue of Tattell Gotell.
WAR NEWS.
The United States Steamship Vanderbilt,
Copt. Baldwin, arrived at Sandy Hook late on
Saturday night from her long and unsuccessful
cruise in search of the pirate Alabama.
Richmond papers of the 15th inst. were re
ceived on Saturday at Fortress Monroe. They
contain telegrams from Charleston as late as
Thursday last, when the bombardment was
progressing witli increased fury, several new
Parrots having been opened upon the city from
Fort Gregg. During the two days preceding
the date of the dispatch, 471 shells had been
fired at tho place, but with what effect is not
mentioned. The telegrams report the number
of vessels at Hilton Hoad to be very large,
and say that a fleet has recently gone south
ward. Mo shy is reported to have been badly
whipped in the recent affair at Harper's Ferry,
but notwithstanding his losses, be is said to be
still harassing our men. ,
Admiral Lee has officially reported the des
truction of tho new firat-olaeo Robot steamer
Dave. This was the vessel’s first trip ; and oh
tho 7th inst., finding it impossible to escape
falling a prize to our blockaders off Wilming
ton, her captain ran her ashore, when she
bilged, becoming a total wreck. The Dave is
the twentieth steamer destroyed or captured off
Wilmington since July last.
Reports from the Army of the Potomac rep
resent the greatest discontent and hopelessness
of the cause Co exist in tho Rebel lines. Our
troops are in fine condition and spirits, and the
weather excellent. Some stir on the part of
the enemy has given rise to the belief that they
meditate a new movement.
Dispatches from St. Louis on Saturday
state that the Ku&els in Arkansas are suffering
severely from the cold, and that deserters are
coming into the Union lines in large numbers,
declaring that they believe the Rebel cause to
be lust.
A fight between part of Col. McCook's cav
alry and the Btb and 11th Texas Regiments, at
Mossy Creek, Tenn., occurred on the 12th.
Fourteen of the Rebels were killed aod 41
prisoners taken.
The Memphis papers contradict the stories of
Rebel successes in Arkansas, such as the cap
ture of Fiue Bluff, &o. They are all fictions.
AM AWFUL CALAMITY.
-It is fortunately not nften*hat mankind is
called upon to mourn a calamity so horrible as
that which occurred on the eighth of Decern*
her, in Santiago, 'the capital of Cbili. A
church, crowded to overflowing, caught fire?
the chief door, opening inside, was soon closed
by the press; all egress was consequently pre
vented, and nearly two thousand people, mostly
women, and representing nearly every family
in Santiago, were burned to death.
■Whether the, account of the disaster which
we take from The Valparaiso Mercury, is in ev
ery detail correct, we are, nf course, unable to
ascertain ; bat it leaves little doubt that the
origin of the conflagration was owing to. tho
most culpable recklessness, A priest of the
church was determined fs' have a celebration
in the most splendid style, exceeding all that
Santiago had ever seen. Twenty thousand
lights, in long festoons of colored globes, filled
tho church, with gause and drapery of every
description. Every corner of the building,
from tho ground to the ceiling, and especially
about tho altar, was a sea of muslin and dra
pery, flooded with every kind of illumination.
The church which was filled with so much
combustible material had a roof of painted
wood, and only one door of easy access, and
this one opening inside. Of course, this chief
door became at once blocked up; while the fire,
in consequence of the numerous lights and
plentiful drapery, spread so rapidly as to
burn, in less than fifteen minutes, about two
thousand persons to blackened corpses.
In many of the cities both of the New and
the Old World, a similar catastrophe would
probably have led to '‘terrible popular outbreaks
against those who, by their lack of caution and
superintendence, were clearly to bo blamed for
it. The people of Santiago contented them
selves with demanding the- demolition of the
, building, which has, moreover, a sad notoriety
■ for the number of accidents that in former
times have occured in it. The priests strenu
ously opposed the • populas.demand, and even
I threatened eclcsiastionl censures; but the Go
v! Moment considered U necessary to yield tp; the.
popular pressure, and to decree the demolition
of the building'.
Bush an oceuranoe should arouse attention
to the necessity of strict regulations for the
police of churches, schools and public and pri
vate -buildings everywhere. Many improve
ments have of late been made in this respect
by. the legislatures of most civilized countries;
bat how much still remains to be done ? bow
many disasters ora still recorded from year to
year which a stricter legislation about the prop
er condition of buildings would have averted ?
The terrible disaster in Chili calls for a thor
ough examination and revision of legislation,
wherever it is needed to overt such appalling
calamities.— Trihunc,
A Peculiar Institution in lowa.— Among
the curious phases of lowa society is the A
manna Society," located in lowa county, twen
ty miles west of lowa city. Prom the Musca
tine Journal wo glean the following facts rela
tive to to this community. It says;
* It numbers 800 members, and is divided
into seven villages. It is governed by trust
ees elected by the members of the society.
The society owns 20,000 acres of land in one
belt. They have a large stock of horses, sheep
and cattle; 700 head of cattle, 12,000 head of
sheep, and a large number of horses; also 2,-
200 acres of land under cultivation. They are
engaged to some extent in manufacturing, and
have a good flouring and saw milt and a large
woolen factory In successful operation. They
oard, spin, weave and full all kinds of wollon
goods, tunning twelve looms, nine narrow, and
three for weaving broadcloth. Their-machin
ery is of. the most perfect kind. They will
work up this season from 5,000 to 6,000 bales
of wool. The members of the society aro all
of a religious order. Everything moves on in
perfect bormony. "When necessary, the wo
man aid in out-door work. We saw twenty in
one carrot patch, all at work. In the same
field eight teams were plowing. The society is
destined to become.wcalthy.
Tub Retubn or Senator White. —We have
good authority for stating that Senator White
will, in all probability, soon resume his seat in
the State Senate. The terms of his exchange 1
hare been determined, and it is not unlikely
that he will be in Harrisburg in the course of
a week. His return will end the power of the
Opposition to suspend legislation, and defeat
measures necessary to the people of Pennsyl
vania. The satisfactory termination of the
dispute by the release of a brave soldier from
a rebel prison, is doubly gratifying. His free
dom will be due to the energy of the Govern
ment, and Pennsylvania will uot forget this
great service to her interests. But what shall
we think Of n party which owes its defeat to
the liberation of a Union soldier, and would
profit by the continuance of his captivity?—
Philadelphia Press.
Ice fob Difthebia. — A correspondent of tho
Providence Journal vouches for tho efficacy of
ice as a cure for diptheria, croup, and all or
dinary inflammation of the throat. The man
ner of application is as follows: “Breakup
a small lump .of ice, and put the pieces in a
bowl. Take a position slightly inclined back
wards, either in a chair or on a sofa. Proceed
to feed yourself with small lumps of ice, let
ting them dissolve slowly in the back part of
the throat. A single application will often
break up a common sore throat, which other
wise Would have a course of two or three days.
In case of a bad sore throat, use the ice fre
qacntly and freely. In case of ulceration or
diptheria, keep a small lump of ice constantly
in the mouth.”

For Hipthcrio, Colds, Conghs. Sore Throat or
Hoarseness, Its equal is not to ne found. "When
taken in time, or immediately after an exposure,
tho effects aro astonishing. Two or three doses
will throw off tho cold and perform a cure, and
prevent the setting in of tho fever and cough that
usually follow a cold, which always rocks tho
system, often leading to dipthcria and consump
tion. It is highly necessary, therefore, that the
remedy bo administered in time. One or two
doses may prevent these destructive complaints,
and save you from an untimely grave.
