ctopped 'and looked at him, and said inl
n1 solemn tone, the tears trickling from
his eyes, "Sorving on mj stall is. fatal
it is fatal."
The following narrative of -etity
Gilinore tells the rest of the close of
this puro good life: .
1Ho was taken from the field by Col,
I IHarry Gilmore, laid upon his horse arid
4 placed in the charge of two dismnitited
men, with orders to carry him to an- n
bulance and call a surgeon. Col. Gil
more thus relates in his book, entitled
'Pour Years in the Saddle,' the. subse.
quent fate and brutal treatment of otie
of the'noblest spitits that perished for
the 'Lost Callse.
'On my way to -Culpeper, I oyee
' took, bear Brandy Station, the -tros

ti making their way back to- Oulpaer,

"Overwhelnmed' with horror, I had
him laid on. the gr'ass in the fence cor
-ner, and then', to , my astonishment,
found him' still alive. Imagine my m .
.dignation and vented wrath, when'
found that instead -of looking for an ainw
bulance, they had mioved towvard OCil

form, yand had but just laid hint on.the
bed, when the door was gently opened,
and Stuart entered, having returned
from tbe fight at Kelly's ford. Great
tears rolled down his cheeks as lie si.
1'lcntly gazed on the lifeless for-m, and
then retired.
"Exhanated with- fatigue, Ilay down
upon the floor, and slept soundly beside
the mortal remains of a companion who
had ridden to the field that. morning in
usually file spirits; bu.t such is the for.
tunue of war."
Thu', inde', perihed a great and
-good lad. He was carried to his home
in Alabama, and btried beneath her
loved soil. I it ichmond. his body lay
in state, and the ladies of the doomed
city not only covered the cofflin with
wreaths of evergreens, immortelles aed
pure white roses, to designite the puri

of their tears. Everywhere on the way
Ie was greeted with funeral honors, and
the noble heart of Pelham passed into
history is the type of that pure chivalry
ihat. glowed in the hearts of t1h youths
of 'the army, and the loss of whom hath
caused much mourning throughout the
Southern land. .

They must do as the white people do
,when the'huws are violated, turn tie of.

rants be issued, witnesses bound over,
and the case bought to , trial. In (his
way, and in no other way, can society
be protected, an-1 the character and dig
Tity of of the race promoted. I think
the black people wvho are trying to do
their duty to themselves and to their
couintry, will take , this counsel. It is
the connsel of wisdom and the advice of
a friend.
As paupertsni is not to be encouraged,
so ought vagrancy to be punished. The
laws, if pioperly enforced, are amply
sufficient to put down this evil. Let
overy person, white or black, who is
living on the community, wit hout known
or visible means of support., be brought
up for exanination ' and if lie cannot give
a satisl'actory account of how Ie makes
his living, let the laws against vagrancy
be rigidly enforced, and tie vagrant put
to work for the public good. In this
way, the highways and public buildings
of the State may be much improved,
and the crowds of idle consumers, both
in the cities and in the country, greatly
diminished.
A Singular Character.
There are few residents of Mobile
who have not seen the Sicilian, Andrea,
hobbling through our streets upon his
patcheid crutch, and walking staff, or
lying on sonic d'oor step basking in the
sun, always wrapped in the rags of pov
erty-a picture of fihh and patiperism
withoul. a parrallel in this or any 'other
city. Many report.a are given of his
early history, of the cause by. which lie
lost his leg,and of hiseccentricities; but
from these conflicting statements it is
difficult to arrive at. the I rut I; and no
inducement can be offered him to speak
of his past career. Importunities in
Ithis direction are most certain t0 be mta
by a fit. of passion calculated to deter the
most persevering from pressing the sub
ject too closely. But report states that.
in his boyhood lie. was one of JaRihfto's
crew, and lost his leg during atn action
between the Gulf. Pirate and English
man-of war.
This statement is without any .8inb
stantiml anuthority, but.there
inach tnujtetrith idwfliN1 . c
las just been related to us, by a gentle.
man who has seen him idmost, daily . for
the last; fifteen fears. About eighteen
years ago A ndrea resided in New Or
leais, and while one day assisting to
put some heavy timber in a vessel under
going repairs, one of them fell upon and
crushed his leg. Amputation became
nesessary, and was performed at the
Marine Hospital in that city, and a few
years afterwards he came to Mobile,
where he'soon becatme an institution.
He ias relatives here in good circim
stances, who have made many efforts to
reforin.his vagr-ant habits, and once pre
vailed upon him with sich success as to
establish him in a fruit-stand, fitted up
for his 'benefit, in which lie continued
but a few days, wheni he broke tip his
stands and boxes, poitehed his fruit into
the dock, and without, giving a word of
explanation resumed his uicouth iahit.
.He has been repeatedly provided witi
good clothes, which sem to di-gust him
nore they approach gentility, and a few
days will find them torn tip, patched an'd
repatched, until all semblance df shape
has ben destroyed in them, and Andrea
rejoices ia his rags again. -. Strangers,
thinking hint an object of charity, some
times offer hiim money, which he almost
invariably thros~ys back at them in a fit
of rage andl passion.
When~ driven .by hunger lie will
sometimes aisk for a piece of bread, which
is never refnsed hiri, 1but;mpre frequent
ly enters a saloon or bakerf in whatever
part of the city lie mnay'-bs, and helps
himself to any article of food desirable
to him, and coolly emeorges into the street
again, without sayung."by your leave,"
or "thankt you." At the market lie has
been known to take uip a fish, sometimes
devotiring it raw, but whoa his appetite
gives him leisure; he goes. thro~ugh a
proccess of cooking it- pecnliar to him
self.
Withiotut scaling, cleaning, .or giving
it any civilized preparation whtntever,
he wi:1l place it oni the coals of s~omo' of
the furnaces on Front street, ond per-.

draws the tempting morsel forth, and
instantly devours it. Taking his posi

DArTIs OF TN' SK.-A French
journal saysihat the soundings eflected
with referonce to the new trans-Atlantic
eable have eibled comparison to be
made of the different depths of the sea.
Generally speaking, they are not of any
great (tepth in the neighborhood of conti
ients; thus the Baltic, between Germa.
ny and Sweden, is only 120 feet deep ;
and the Adriatic, between Venice and
Trieste, 130 feet. The greatet depth
of t he channel between France and 1ung.
land does not. exceed -300 feet, while
to the southwest of Ireland, where the
sea is- open. the depth is more than 2,000
feet. The seas to the South of Eurbpo
are milch deeper than those is the inte
rior. In the narrowest parts of the
Straits of Gibraltar the depth is only
1,000 feet, while a little more to the
East it is 3.000 feet. On the coast of
Spain tihe depth is nearly 6,000 feet.
At 250 miles South of Nantucket (Sou',h
of Cape Cod) no bottom was found nt
.7,000 feet. The groactst depths of- all
are to be 'met with in the R4 'ern
Ocean. T 0te West. of tho Cape of
Good Hopo 16,000 feet, have been meas
tired, and to the West of St. Helena
37,000. Dr. Young estimates the aver
age depth of the Atlantie at25,000 feet,
and of the Pacific at 20,000.

11- TO AVOID TJE COTTOrN TA.
The Itoit Radical Congress, with a
view to further burdei the cotton,
plantor, laid a tax of throo cents per
pound on tile staple, which mnw be
paid before cotton leavos the (. *' - 0
tion dkitriot. But the ta.x .j
elargoaflo unless the Cotton is
forward for sale or shipment. Now,
the way to save the tax is to iautfac,
turo-cotton where it is grown, Thore
will be double advantage in this, not,
only in the tax of $15 per bale of ,500
pound saved to the producer, but the
ianufactured article will bring hi
twice the money that the raw naterial
will. By forming aosociation in Oeery
country, the planters have thus the op
portunity of doing themselves as well
as the country, the greatest 'scrvico,
Lot'thomz profit by th6 opportuniy.
We may add to those wise words of
the Georgia Citizons that'every manu
facture w1 recently met on the Border
echoed similar advisory expressions.
iThe largest 'cloth 'manufacturer in
Maryland, a man of' pure Southern
blood and lineoge, said : "Toll the
people of the South that inanufactur.
I mug their own staples is the proper
wvay to be rovonged upon the Yankees.
Nothing will bring the New England
or to his senses so amazingly ; no other
vindication is so worthy of a great and
magnanimous people. They can boat
us in abuse and trickery ; lot us boat
them in arts, science, statesmanship
and honest craft. Nothing pleases
your Yankee so as give hin a chance
of ribaldry or ridicule. Be still
vigilant-industrious--self-austainig -
those are winning trunis."
