CHANCES OF IIKINO KII.LKI) IN WAR.
Marshal 8nxe, a Furciiehman of high
authority in such things, was in the habit
of saying that to kill a tuau in battle
the man's weight in lead must be expended.
A French medical and surgical gazette,
published at Lyons, says this laet was verified
at Solferino, even in the recent grcai
iniproveniint in fire arms. The Austraim*
fired S,400,000 rouHds. The loss of the
French and Italian was 2,000 killed and
ID,000 wounded. Kach man hit cost 7"0
rounds, arid every man killed cost 4,-00
rounds. The mean weight of a ball is one
ounce; thus, we find that it required, on an
everage, 272 pounds of lead to kill a man.
If any one of our friends should get into a
military figlit, they should l'eelgreat comfort

INCIDENT OF lijji HATTKR.
During the hoavic.it of tlio firing from Fort
Sumter, as Col. Lamar was looking hastily
around upon sonic of the batteries, he npproache<l
a soldier stolidly stationed by a
gun not pointed towards the tort, but loca
ted for other purposes. Knowing the man,
who was originally from Kdgefiohl, lie
said to him, " Hello, thorc, I<ovd, what
in the thunder are you doing there by that
gun in the midst of this tire. Jump into
your rat hole, <juick." Dut Ley 1 rciiuiined
immovable, and looking askso.<*( at the
evacuation ^hus ^ecoyimendi <4 0 ins at ten-,

?the thing ii ight cave iu^ind then, you
see, soma day after the battle, they would
may-he dig me up ; and they would be sure
to say ' Well, here's Loyd Mitchell, he run
away and buried himself for fear of Anderson.'
No, sir'/.v?th?y put nic ly this
hero gun, and I uiean to stay right by it,
live or die."
Col. Lamar passed on, and lias since the
battle roifuostcd that Loyd's behavior should
not go unnoticed, at hsist in Kdgeficld.

AN ACT HKl'l.V.
On Monday < vening last, when our
streets were crowded with soldierly, nnd
inspriting martial music stirred all hearts,
a lady chanced to pa--fl along one of the
principal thorough-fares, when a volunteer,
who probably felt the " one touch of nature
which makes the whole world kin," very
politely saluted her by raising his lint, and
remarking:?"Farewell, my good lady;
I'm going of! toJtf/Jit for you to which
she instantly and very Composedly replied;
" And I intend remaining here to }>rny for
you, sir." There was something in this
reply so apropos?so womanly?that there
was a general raising of hats among the
group, who doubtless felt that a warm and
truly generous heart beat in the bosom of
the fair creature who had pledged herself
to invoke the hem diction of heaven upon
them.?Xantjoin* ry Advertiser.

And while it requir s true moral courage U

duties of the soldier, you hear no complaints
except now and then a soldier thinks as then
is no prospect of an immediate fight, lie migln
he permitted to go home und attend to a litlh
business. lint iu> a general thing, it is exceed
ingly gratifying to see how cheerfully and con

what soil we fight or full, so wo nicomplisl

that the seat of war be in Virginia, or clsowbcrt

Virginia, where our families will not cxrcricnct

We will nut undertake to.-ketch his speech. ll
cannot he done in hricf space, and it would be,
unjust to hitu to give an imperfect sketch. It
must sutliccto say, that the most ardent Southern
men who heard him were entirely satisfied
with him, and speak hi.- praises with gushing

with withering scorn the proposition that Kentucky
should stand still at the present time and
see her sister Southern States Overrun und overwhelmed
with hordes of Northern abolition incendiaries,
lie is for Kentucky uniting with
the South in driving the invaders from Southern

of their liberties, lie also declared himself in

On Sunday about 3 o'clock, P. M.; I witnessed
a most noble autl extraordinary act of gal'
lantry and bravery. It was the rescuing and
I saving the lives of fpur men from a watery
, grave. Three were sailors and one a merchant
from the city. They were floating on a capsired
sail boat in the chaunel fast loses, about
. one mile from shore, between Port Moultrie
> and Cum mi tig's Point. Corporal Edward J.
Dean, of the Spartan littles, was stsuding on the
beach, near Fort Moultrie. When he observed
them he immediately called to.his assistance
i two colored men, and launched from the beach
a small yawl boat. At that moment he was
joined by two other gallant spirits, Lieut. Prest
ton of of the regular avtny, and a mem Iter of
the Charleston Light Dragoons, who, without
oars, simply using common poles for oars,
dnshod gallantly and bravely over the turbid
surf to tbo rescue of the unfortunate men from
L their perilous situation. During their haxardous
and humane adventure the whole regiment
docked tit no**, to the beach to witness, with
{ breathless anxiety ami suspense their noble
efforts. For awhile the floating men were entirely
submerged, and as they would again appear
above the water, you would hear through
the anxious crowd that, one poor fellow
was washed off, and then another. Finally
i they were reached, and *ns the gallant crew in
nea; ing the capsixed boat attempted to rescue
litem, the sea being rough, their boat missed
thwui and sailed past. A sudden shudder rang
through the crow>t as if all was lost. Finally
the boat rounded and safely resetted thorn, and
