The unfortunate victim of the holly-bushes and nettles might have been justified in exclaiming, "beautiful fiends!I" But I will leave thetm for the present. Thie next morning the guests were ~ot assembled in f'uli conclave at the breakfast table as sonic slept very late, and the breakfast was served to straggling parties of two or three or sometimes one at a time. The hostess con *- eluded to perpetrate a joke upon the two young eEcers who were inimates with the writer in one er the state-hed rooams, and as they were both very.late-in cominig Gown to breakfast and came * - ~ separately 'when they did siome, she mfobrmed - .tose'of a who preceded them that. she wvould - erve their coffee to them wiho~ut sugar and to --test their poi-teness or mia'e them acomit them selves, 1aculd ask t.hc:n in a hospitab!e nmanner if it was Qweetened to their liking. Each one i saun assured her it was sweet enough but could not siell avoid mknarthr wry face as-the confeasion was extorted fromn theni, whereupon the rest of us herst out- into a- eenera1-- laugh ai their exp-ense, when they -were told of the rtrse1 that had been practised upon them. During September, 1863. when our command wns passing throuigh this State to go to Chattanoo0 g& to meet the enemy, one of the above mention ed young officers and the wri:er obtaied a short furlough to conte by homre. D)uring thiat period, and just before their arrivail the youing people at Bracebridge had been .twusinlg themselves' and .their-friends in getting up charades arnd' ta&lkan. vi ant, for '-hich the front rooms were ad.nirably, adapted as has beenl mentioned in a formner art'cle. They wereassisted'iery materially in thbe'e amu e -met by a young lady from Florida, an old frien'd and acquaintance of the family who was also a *native of N-,- but had lef t the place at -an early age only to return on occasional visits. This young lady, whom I shall call Stella, from her general-brightness and intelligence, was quite an acquisition in the chatrade and tablean ukking.' She understood stag~e efee admirably and her own performances and the groupings of thi rest of the characters we-re very fine. The charades and tableaus were enacted in the draw ing:room whilst the small select -audience were sated in the sitting room opposite acrToss the *wide entrance, and as both rooms openied with * wide foIding dool:s the spectacle was thus viewed to an advantage. The "lady eba:elaine" ~ of Bracebridge, who was rather an invalid at that time,was reciiog on ai lountge in the sitting room dressed in most becoming style in a white mnorn ing robe or dressing "ow", over which she wore a white merino opera cloak trimmed with a wide border of blue silk, whilst rt her throat the dress was clasped wit' a v'ery large jet cross brooch set with gold filigree work. Tiedun:eresting lan guor of the invalid, the very becoming attire and the graceful reetiuing position upon the lounge was it:,elf a tableau, as one of the male guests remarked who was desirotus of paying, a comnphi mient to the hostess. There was only one draw back to the evening's entert ainmen~Ct, and that was the absetnce ot one of' the young ladies of the household, the eldest, the young lady with The Grecian name formerly mentioned, whose presence was necessary to the comuplete and perfect en jeyrnent of the social festivities at Bracebridge; for her amiable character rendered her univer sally beloved by her family cirele as well as her general acquaintance. Ther!e was 1no hauteur or asperity of temper, no seliishness or wiilfulness of disposition, no unchar'italieness ini this young lady- She was wi:hout atTec'ation of any kind, and on the contrary was a perfect child of na Sure, who assuimed none of the sa'riter in modIo, or urbane deceitfulness of conventional life. At the time spokenI of above she was at the summP.er residence o0 1her much respected grand parents in the upper part of the St te.

The police were reinforced and so were the C. T., but the former succeeded in capturing and dispersing the crowd. The Mill's House. We would invite attention to the c,rd of the Mills House, in to-days paper. It will be seen that its worthy host, Joseph Purcell, E;q., not satisfied with itsalready handsome appurtenances, has added improvements that render this popular house second to none in point of comfort, con venierce and elegance.

The Augusta Constitutionalist fears that th.e high price for cotton will cause the planters to neglect other crops, and gravely speculates upon the urob ability of a famine in 1887. It says: Mn-y~of our planters, ifnc a' a greater por tion, allured by the high prices of cotton, are a bout to give their chief attention to the culture of this staple ignoring, to a considerable degree or wholly, the production of cereals. We can not hut deem this course unwise. It will not do, in the experimental era in which we find our selees, to count too confidently upon a certain vield of cotton. Many conditions conspire to bring success in this kind of cultivature and, many conspire to insure disastrons failure. La bor may be delinquent when most imperative, viz: when the grass is rank in .the field--and thn?the rnn isjdoomei -.-The men me not be propitious, and worms may sally forth like guerriUlas, blighting whatever they touch. It is just as well to prepare against any evil contin gency, rather than take a gambler's hazard of fortuitous results. We are strongly of the opin ion that while a due portion of each plan.ter's land should he given to-cotton, that an equally judicious apportionment should be set aside for corn. If but a small crop ofecorn is raised in the South, we gravelv appretend partial famine in ]867. Many depend upon the West for corn, in excange f'or their cotton, but should the cotton crop run short, how shall they be enabled to purchase breadstuffs ? Speculators control the corn as well as other.markets,,. and we need not hope for succor from them any further thtan our ability to pay. Miserable indeed will be our es tate if such be the case, and the very wretched ness of this condition will be aggravated by the reflectionthat we will hav'e none to' blame but our grasping selves. Fervently do we pray that such a consummation will never come, but its very possibility should make us wise in time for prepaation. We are in a bid streak of luck, and famine may be in the cale:zder of our future trials, if we do not heed. We .call upon our worthy planters to p,onder this suggestson, and act upon it,. if it be deserving of consideration. We know that many of them hold similar opin ions, and trust that all will be guided . by a spirit of justice-justice to themselves and justice to those dependent oa them for supplies. Congressional. The House resumed the consideration of and passed the Bill for the disposal of the public lands in-Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Ar kansas, on the homestead principle-eighty acres to each settler, mineral lands to be sub ject to entry. The Navy Appropriation Bill was taken up. In the course of the debate, Mr. -Ingersoll said we were prepared to meet the navies of France and Enghand. Mr. Rice, of Massachusetts, said be was not willing to sit still and allow a statement to. go out that we are prepared to go to war with France and Eneland. He desired to say that we are not prepared. To-day,- great as are the- na vies of France and England, they ha-ve nav yards, a single one of which- is greater than' all of ours, and every hammer and anvil is ringing with srokes of labor, fabricating ships to defend France and England in the event of a foreign war. The President sent to the House a message in which he declines communicating the report of Judge Advocate General HolIt as to thme grounds, facts or accusations upon which Davis, Clay, M lory and Yulee, are held in confinement. His reasons for withholding the information are, that it was obtained ex-parte, without notice to t.he accused, and that while they are in military prisons the publication might do wrong to the Government or to the accused, or to both. Whilst much wrong might flow from the publi cation, it cannot be seen that any good can re The German papers announce the death, at Madeburg of' a learned physician, Dr. Julieus Van dem Fischweiler, who in his will has left the e orld the following scientific secret, viz: That his own great age, one hundred and nine, is en tirely to be ascribed to his constant habit of sleep ing ~with his head toward the North, and the rest of his body in a direction coinciding as closely as possible with that of the meridian, that is, with his hels to the South. From persisting in this habit, the learned doctor considered that the iron contained in our system, finding itself~ in the di rection of the mnagnet2e current.s which are con stantlyvfiow lug over the surface of the globe to. ward 'the North Pole, becomes magnetized, and thus increases the energy of the vital priucfple.

The English pap~ers furnish some additional and thrilling details of the foundering of the London, by which two hundred and seventy lives were lost. m:nROISM OF THE CAPTAIN. At 2 P. M., the few men who were dostined to survive to bring the sad story bome-sixteen of the erew and three of the psssengers-deter mined to trust themselves to the chances of the sea, lowered away the pinnace, and launched her clear of the ship. These men called to the Captain to come with them, but this brave and steadf ist English seaman declined, saying, "No, I will go down with the passengers, but I wish you God speed, and safe to land." The boat then pulled away, and live minutes after the London,. with two hundred and. seventy souls on board, went down, and all was over. INCIDF.NTS OF HEROISM AND SVFFErING. Among the passengers were two stout old peo ple, who had become favorites on board, and who had been s-nt for by their only son. The poor creatures; on learning that they must drown, took a small quantit.y of brandy and went below todie together in the cabin. G. V. Brooke, the tr-igedian, exerted himself incessantly. One of the passengers who saw him has said, "le had worked wonderfully, and, in fact, more bravely than any man on board that ship." To the steward, who made himself known, Mr. Brooke said, "If you succeed in saving your self, give my farewell to the people of Mel bourne." One of the p-issengers in the boat-Mr. John Wilson, a' rative of Montrose-went down into the cabin and endeavored to persuade a friend Mr. John Hickman, Solicitor, of Southampton to attempt to save his life by going into the boat; but, after being entreated, he said: "No I proni1ed my wife and children to stay by them, and I will do so." The water was then a consid erable depth 'in the lee side of the saloon, indeed, over the top of the berths ; and he asked Mr. Wilson to help him in removing his four children to the windward side out of the water. This -as done, and then he shook hands with Mr. Wilson, with "Good-bye, Jack," and parted from his friends forever. When last seen Mr. Hickman was standing in a row nith his wife and children. THE CAPTAIN'S LAST ACT. The Captain, who was walking calily up and down the poop, had refused to leave the ship, but jast before the boat put off he had the consider ation and the presence of mind to give those in the boat their "course." He told them that it lay East Northeast to Brest, which was correct. Before the boat could be got off it was in great danger of being sucked down with the ship, which was rapidly settling beneath the water. A THOUSAND GUINEAS FOR A LIFE. At that moment those in the boat were pite ously called upon by a lady about twenty-three years of age, who, with a face which was, it is stated, livid with horror, shrieked out an offer of "a thousand guineas if you'll take me in." ~But in that solemn hour millious o1 money would have been accounted valueless, and to returr. must hare resulted in destruction all. - THE LAST GL.IMPSE OF rT1E DlooMED. Two passengers were seen with life belts, but probably none were alive when they came to the surface. The spectacle was only to be seen, for 'in tbe din of the tempest no cry from the sink ing multitude could be heard, and soon not a vetg as visible. As the ship sunk, it was sen ha llon deck were driven forward, not by water, but by a tremendous and overpower ing rush of air from below, which, as it escaped through the deck as well as the hatches, impelled all on deck forward with violence, and their dreadful struggle must have been soon ended. It was remarked that the third officer, who was nae Angel, stood to the last at his post at' the dlonkey engine, which was employed in working even as the vessel disappeared. THE PASSENGERS SHOOTING THEMSELVES TO AvoID DRowKiING. Several revolvers were seen in the hands of piassengers, who did not conceal their intention of shooting themselves when the last moment came, preferring to meet their death, when in evitable, by a bullet rather than by drowning. The steward, indeed, overheard an offer by the owner of a pistol, to a friend, that he would shoot him if he desired. The well mneant offer at that time was declined, and. whether these intentions were carried into execution is not known, but nlo repoi ts of fire-arms were heard as the steamer foundered.

HAND ri ARoUi.-We never keep secret that, which, the publicity of, will in way affect the public interest, and more especially when it must largely benefit, therefore we communicate all that we know in connection with a matter which will greatly exercise the public mind. It is not generally known perhaps that W. H. Webh, a captain in the late confederate service, so-called, and latterly quite successful in nerchandizing in this place, took passage from here, about ter dav aio in the c.rs, having with him a considerable en:ount of cash. Some doubts were entertained at the time, by us and a few others who watched his motions, tiat he i::tended going on a bender, a regular spread, but we are- happy to say that he went on a charitable nissioh, spreeing (lid not enter into his calculations. The object was to purchase a first class stock of goods, cheap and low down, so as to accommodate the wants of the community. He has succeeded beyond expecta tions, and the poor and needy, and public gene rally, are invited to attend his large sales which commence to-day. Passing by the corner, memorable from old associations, and made historical as having the I ironor to support the weight of this ofice, we were attracted by an irmnsual noise and commo tion. In an excitement bordering on distraction we ran in, fearing from the noise, and the ani mated appearance of the crowd rushing in and out, that something dreadful had happened. The first horrible thought was, that B. H. Lovelace' and his partner D. Wheeler, wishing to de stroy themselves, and involve us and the Herald in one common pi, had pulled away the props; or that his pink-eyed planting pota toes had sprouted and forced the roof off. But it proved to be something else altogether, it was only the op"ning of his new goods, just arrived, which caused the noise, and attracted the unusual crowd. It was not to he wondered at either for their stock is large, good and, worthy of atten tion. ALL FoR FIFTY CENTs.-And most decidedly cheap say we.

The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for the past four years has presented an impassi ble barrier to all social or commercial intercoturse between the two great sections of our country, having at length happily cleared away ell obsta cles to a renewal of those relations which former ly bound us together in a fraternal union, I take the earliest opportunity afforded me by this aus picious event, to greet my Southern friends, and to solicit from them a renewal of that extensive business connection which, for a qjuarter of a cen ~tury has been uninterrupted save by the great pubilic calamity to-which I have adverted. t is canrcely nesry, on the threshold of a Many years of my past life have been expended in an open and candid attempt to cxpoQe these wholesale frauds ; no time nor expense has been spared to accomplish this salutary purpose, and to place before my filends and the public geaeral. ly, at the lowest market price, and in swh quan tities as mi:ht suit their convenience, a truly gen uine imported article. Twenty five years business transactions with the largest and most respectable exporting houfs in France and Great 1-ritain have afforded me un surpassed facilities for supplying our home mar ket with Wines, Liquors and Liqmures of the best and most approved brands in Europe, in ad dition to my own distillery in Holland for the manufacture of the "Sehiedamit Sehnapps." The lItter, so long tested id approved by the medical Faculties of the Un:ed States, West In dies and South America as an invaluable thera peutic, a wholksome, pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all climates aid during all seasons, quickly excited the cupidity of the home man ufacturers and venders of a spurious article un der the same name. I trust that I have, after much toil and ex pense, surrounded all my importations with safe guards and directions which with ordinary cir cumspection w:l insure their delivery, as I re ceive them from Europe, to all my customers. I would, however, recommend in all cases where it is possible, that orders be sent direct to my depot, 22 Beaver Street, New York, or that pruchases be made of my accredited agents. In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, &c., I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign wines, embracing vintages of many years past, bottled up before the commencement of the war, which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs of th, se r tre luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially caU the early attention of my Southern customers to the, ad vantage to be derived by transmitting their or ders without loss of time, or calling personally at the depot, in order to insure the fulfilment of their orders out of the present large and well Le lected assortment.
