74114TARY CFLORY
There is-something inexpliesble in the
reverence paid by men to honors won in
battle. The world's history appears, in
deed, to be preserved rather in the history
of battle-fields than in any other way. It
is very true, that the struggle of man with
his fellow man has been incessant, and the
contest fur power or fame makes op the
daily current of political events ; but that
will hardly,eciOunt for the fact that while
a few men Worship at old shrines of learn
ing and do homage to the divinity dwel
ling in theaeoby far the greater portion of
the race are better eatified with viewing
battle-fields and relics of herd blows,
battered *words and shields, and the
like evidences of man's hatred to man.
Few who visit Greece, care io search out
the favorite resorts of old philosophers ;
but all rush to Marathon and Thermopy
lae. Even in countries made interesting
by modern events, few care to remain any
length of time in the houses of great or
good men, or to tread on ground hallowed
by the foot-steps of departed worthies,
while the mass pour steadily .o Waterloo,
to Culloden, Marston Moor, and a hun
dred similar places, renowed as soil fertil
ized by the blood o f men. If further il
lustration of the fact that men worship
military glory were needed it may be found
in the attention paid to soldiers who have
fought bravely, compared with that paid
to men who are only known as giants in
intellect ; but the fact is too notorious to
need proof.
An ifflustration is afforded by an anec
dote of Kosciusko is his retirement, not
long before his death. lie then resided in
a cottage in a village of France. A Polish
regiment from the army passed through
the village. Some outrages were com
mitted by the soldiery, and Kosciusko, an
old and feeble :nan, came out of his cot
tage and addressed them. "When I was
a Polish soldier," said he, "we did not do
thus."

PHENOMENON OF THE BRAIN.—One of
the most inconceivable things in the na
ture of the brain is, that the organ of sen
sation should itself be insensible. To cut
the brain gives no pain, yet in the brain a-,
lone resides the power of feeling pain in
any other part of the body. If the nerve
which leads to it from the injured part be
divided, it 'becomes instantly unconscious
of suffering. It is only by communication
with the brain that any kind of sensation
is produced, yet the organ itself is insen
sible. But there is a circumstance more
wonderful still. The brain itself may be
removed, may be cut away down to the
corpus calastmt, without destroying life.—
The animal lives and performs all its func
tions, which are necessary to simple vital
ity, but no longer has a mind; it cannot ,
think or feel ; it requires that the food
should be pushed into its stomach. once
there it is digested, and the animal will ev
en thrive and grow fat. We infer, there
fore, that part of the brain, the convo
lutions, is simply intended fur the excer
ciao of the intellectual faculties, whether
of the low degree called instinct, or exalted
kind bestowed on man, the gift of reason. ,

IN 4 7OIIBUSITIBLII PREPARATION FOR WOOD.
—The following recipe for rendering wood
incombustible, has been, we belidt, test
ed in regard to its efficacy, and, although
personally w# have not seen it proved, think
we can recommend it as being of much
utility, particularly when applied to the
' surface of wooden roots, or other places
particularly exposed to the action of tire.—
It is very simple in its preparatioc, which
requires the operator merely to take a
quantity of water proportionate to the sur
face.of the wood he may wish to cover and
add to it as much potash as can be dissol
ved therein. When the water will dis
solve no more potash, stir into the' solution •
first a quantity of flour paste, of the con
sistency of commotrpainter's size ;
se
cond a sufficiency of.pore Clay to render
,it of the oonsistemey of cream. • 'When the
clay it well mixed, ripply the pieptrition,
.as hefore directed, to the wood; it wilt se

Some years since a gentlentan reading
in Anderson County in this Eitate.'sold a
negro man to a citizen of Middle Tennes
see. The negro was removed to. the home
of hie new master, but in a short time ran
away and returned to Anderson County,
and secreted hiniself for a year Or More in
the neighborhood o' his wife, but was fi
*tally discovered and apprendetl 4 and again
taken to Middle Tennessee.' He remain
ed the second time until a favorable oppor
tunity was presented and again absconded. '
This was six or seven years since. A
large reward wu offered for his apprehen
sion. Diligent search was for a long time
made, but no traces of him being discov
ered, his running away had passed entire
ly out of the minds of all but his owners.
A few days since, however, two men, re
siding in Anderson County, by the names
of Diggs and Low, were out with their ri
fles hunting game. Being fatigued and
thirsty, for the purpose of refreshing them
selves, they concluded to go to a fine
spring riot far off. This they did, and up
to the cabin, where there were several
white women living. Diggs took his seat
upon a bed, while his companion, Low,
remained in the yard. One of the women
was in the cabin, and so soon as Diggs en
tered, she commenced a sprightly conver
sation with hint. during which She av
proarhed the bedside and let fall on the
floor a large butcher knife, at which, as
soon as it struck the floor, the hand of a
negro caught front tinnier the bed. Diggs'
suspicion being thus awakened, lie, with
great presence of mind, kicked the knife
beyond the reach of the hand, and in§tant
, ly a huge negro sprang out, drew up an
axe with both hands, and was swinging it
over so as to cleave the skull of Diggs,
when fortunately the force of the blow was
so far checked by the axe striking the
! "loft," that all the injury Diggs sustained
was a alight gash in his forehead of four
or five inches in length. Diggs cocked
his gun, presented it at the negro and fi red ;
but the negro observed the precise posi
tion of the muzzle, and placed the broad
side of the axe before it, so that the bullet
must necessarily strike it, as it did.—
Diggs sprang upon the negro and grappled
bet did not sneered in throwing him until
the negro had struck him an alter severe
blow above the eye with the axe. The
report of the gun brought Low into the ca
bin just as Diggs threw the negro upon
the bed. Low ran up immediately and
with his butcher knife stabbed the negro
three times in the side, sticking the knife
each time as deep as he could. Finding
that this did not vanquish the negro, who
still struggled with Diggs, he placed the
gun at the negro's side and discharged
the entire load into his body. This over
came the negro and he yielded, bleeding
from every wound very profusely. Diggs
and Low supposing that lie must neces
sarily die, went out in search of neighbors,
who, when they came in, discovered the
negro still alive, and knew him to be the
same negro that had been so long "in the
woods." The negro was removed to the
Clinton jail, where he is now confined to
await a trial for the assault upon Diggs'
life, the punishment for which, if he be
convicted, is death ; though we learn there
is no probability that he will recover.—

Some years age, when all the world
were mad upon letteries, the cook of a
middle.eged gentleetan drew from his
hands the savings 7 of some years. Her
master, curious to know the cause, learn
', ed that she had repeatedly dreamed that a
certain number was a great prize, and had
bought it. He ogled her a fool for her
pains, and, never omitted an occasion to
tease her upon the subject. One day,
fulwever, the master saw in the newspa
pr that the numbet was actually a prize
of *lOO,OOO. Conk was called up—a pa
: laver ensued—had known each other many
' years—loth to pars, &c., in short, he pro
poses marriage, and is accepted. They
were married the next morning, and as the
carriage took them from the church, the
following dialogue took place :
j. "Well, Molly,..ato happy events in one
day. Yon have married, I trust, a good
husband. You have something
But first let me ask you where your lot

Molly, who thought he was beginning a

" Don't ye say any more about thatl

ker for five dollare profit l You needn't

TROUBLE AMONG THE METHODISTS IN
ENGLAND.—'There was trouble in Eng
land, at the last accounts, Waning the Wes
leyan Methodists, who, next to the estab
lished church, are the wealthiest and most
influential sect in the kingdom. It origi
nated in some articles in a newspaper. des
cribing "certain leading and influential
members of the body as indolent, selfish,
artful, ambitious and tyrannical." Steps
were taken to trace the authors, and one
of them having been discovered, he forth
with made his admission, and was senten
ced by the conference to a solemn admon
ition, and to be disqualified from the super
intendence of a circuit. It having been
found impoasible to detect the others. the
question was put generally to each minis
ter. whether lie was or not the author.—
This proceeding, supposing it to be intend
ed with a view to subsequent punishment,
was wkolly opposed to all ordinary no
tions of right, and four of the ministers re
fused to answer. Upon this one of them
was admonished and four expelled, and the
consequence has been that meeting in their
behalf have taken place throughout the
country, and the matter has assumed all the
appearance of a party contest.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY TO A 1 51 LASE.—The
following paragraph front a late number of
the Richmond (Va.) Examiner, will con

that as sought to be introdued into our new
territories, and whose exclusion therefrom
is to be followed by a dissolution of the
Union. Can it be wondered at that a
Christian people like our Southern breth•

such fruits dearer than any and all ties of
country and race

py character is rife in this city. A man in
Hanover is said to have murdered one of
'his negroes under circumstances almost too
horrible to relate. He tied him up in the
morning, and whipped, and tortured the
poor wretch without intermission save at
meal time through the live-long day. lie
burnt off various parts of his body with
fire, and otherwise tortured him, its modes
too horrible to mention. The screeching
brought many persons to the place, but the
master stood by with two revolvers, and
threatened to shoot any one that interfered.

DURATION AND FERTILIZING EFFECTIe
of ANIMAL MANURE.—AII portions of An
imal manures are good, but different in
the rapidity of their fertilizing effects, as
well as in their duration. The principle
of this difference is described by Prufessoir
Johnston as follows :
Horn, hair and wool depend for their
efficacy precisely on the same princi
ples as the blood and flesh of animals.—
They differ chiefly in this, that they
are dry, while the blood and flesh of ani
mals contain from eighty to ninety per
cent. of their weight of- water. Hence a
ton of horn shavings, of hair, or dry_wool
en rags ought to enrich the soil" as much
as ten tons of blod. In China, the hair
which in every ten days is shaVen from
the heads of the entire papntatkon, is eol
lected and sold for manure throughout ths
empire. The effeit of 'oft animal, matters
