Estrardinary pectals in Tenneuee. The most curious phenomenon of which we have ever heard, occurred in Cheatham county on Wednes-lay last. The dar it will be remembered was re narkably hot, so that ,no,t people in the county had to seek the shade ahut noon. At this hour, on the farm of Ed. Sharp, five miles from Ashland, a sort of whirlwind came along over the r.eigh boring woods, taking up snall branches and leaves of trees and burning them in a sort of fianitig cylinder that traveled at the rate of about five miles at, hour, and developint in size as it traveled. It pa-ed hiretty-o.v-the- *pot-wher a team of horses were feeding, and singed their .ftanes and tails up to the roots; it then swept toward the hou,e, taki.,g a stack of hay to its course; which it -srt on fire. It qtgeeed to ittcrea,e in heat as it went, and in the time it reached the house it iumuedilately tired the shingle' front end to end of dt e 1 uil.iig, so that in ten minutes the whole building was wrapped in il.unes. The tall colwnn of trtvelingcao'ic then continue'd :ts coarse over a- xheat tiehl that hadhleen recently cradled setting tire to all tie stacks thiit happened . to he in its course. Pa\-ing from the field, its course lay over :a stretch of wood whi,h reached. to the river.

A'GLoomY Paoruaner,-The Ilick-man (Ks.) Uuurier announces the death ot Miss Susan C. Godsey, knowna as the sleepiag wonder. The far-t is well au thenticated that Mi-s (. had been, for twelve years pireviouls to her-death, in a. state o' coum, or slee-p. This disposi tion to cont-tantl sleep was produced by a severe attack of chiIT and fever, since which tinme she only woke at.-intervals, one or -twice a- day, remnainaing awake for- but a fe.t- minuates. On the day of her death she made one oir two predic tions, whic-h are given by the Courier for what they are worth. One was that the sun would be totally eclipsed on the 7th of August, a fact of which she could not have any know'ledge, as her friends assert. Another was that "ihe sun would never shine as bright after that day," which will indicate that the end of the world is speedily apjaroachaing. Whether a constant sleeper is better q-iiBed to predict future events thran a wi4e-awaka proa- het, is a point we will nt pretend to' decide. IlqroIa?iTo% TO JAIL ROAD TRAVEL zs.-The fIo dking rules of the rad are based upon legal deisio,ns, anal ought to be unaiversally made knora. The courts have decided that applicants f"r tici ets en railroads can -be rajected if thaey do want offer the exact amuount of their fare. Conductors are not bound to make change All railroad tickets are good till used ; eonditionas g.ood for this d;ay only, or otherwise adauitting~ tiame of genuineness, are of no accoaut. Plesengers who lose their ic-kets can be erected fom the cars, unles-s they purchase a second onet. Passengers are bound ao observe a de corum in the cars. anid are obliged to comply with all reasoniable demands to show their tickets. Star.ding on. the platforn, or other wise violating the rules of the company, renders a perso'n liatle to be put off the train. No- one has a right to monopo lize morte seats than he has paid for ; any article in a seaL while the owner~ is temporarily absent, rntitles him to his stat on his return. Can Whites and Negroes Intermarry ' It has been decided by the Supreme Court of Georgia th th intermarriage of negroeaind wh1 1s illegal, null and void.

The eleventh section of the 1st article of the new Gonstitution declares th:it "the social status of the citizen shall never be the subject of legislation." where it finds them." It prohibits the repealing of laws regulating social mat ters, and prohibits the enactment of new laws on-the ~t ihrr - futmr. -Under - the same feature of the law and consti tution, churches have the right to regu late tanraugcorweted with the social. statwin their congregations, the white to exclude or classifv persons attending church-, and the colored the same right. The same is held to be true of railroad and steamboat companies, and hotel. keepers. This law, says the Chief Jus tice, "was dictated' by 'wise statesman ship, and has a braced'and solid founda tion in policy, sustained by sound -rea son id cowmen sense." With al the questions as to Georgia being- a ate, and the doubas-to her true status in the "blessed T hitn,"..this certainly gives her an.erivi-hle Nositi<.n-among her con frer<s in "rebellintu" in moral and social matters.

There were no services in any one of he six chbrches in our town last Sab >ath i >rning and afternoon. The Lu ,heran'chusrch is without a pa4or, the Episcopal and Assortate Reformed are mnty statedly open, the pastor of the 3aptist church is still seriously indis >osed and the pastors of the Methodist nd Presbyterian churches were absent. In the evening, Rev. Mr. Lawton, of he New besry Circuit, preached an elo luent sermon in the Methodist Church o.a, large and appreciative corngregation. A delightful seuies of prayer meetings ire held every Sabbath afternoon in the laptist chorch. Th. services are -cen lucted by the older members of the eburcb, in the course of which many ery happy and eloquent remarks are If4Lred, much to the edilication of those >resent. We love pleasant, familiar, mstudied words, that come from arnest, feeling hearts, presentinag pie ures of real life. During the absence of the pastor, we earn that these meetings will be con int*ed, and we hope that all who ormerly attended will make it a point to ie present on said occasions. Protracted meetings were held during ist week and the early part of the pres rut week, in various portions of the dis rict. The Lutherans have had an inter sting meeting at St. Mathews ; the Bap ists at Mt. Zion and Bush River, and the lethodists at Trinity. The other morning while wending our ray to the office, we overheard a very metty Miss say to her comnpanion"Beauty s but skin deer, burt ugliness goes to be bone,"~ which set us to thinking and bus ran,our thoughts:. does she who a so radiant with the fresh blushing teauty of seventeen summers, just bud ling into the more beautiful period of arly womanbood, believe what she says? ,ot I was fain to believe, that neither he nor her companion, whose side-long the intoxicating effulgence of her spring. like beauty, believed what was said, neither do we believe it. It is a vener ;ble adage it is true, but like most of such-pithy sentences utterly false and only requires the ventilation of a few Mo meits thought, to dissolve them into nonsense and dissipate their applicabnity to human nature into airy nothing. aButif this were all, it would not profit that we should write you anything upon the subject. Its influence is pernicious ad demoralizing, and therefore we sball dutdowa for your benefit our thoughts 'en= the subject. The outward form and expression of the human species has b.een made to mould itself to the inward mind by the Creator, sotht to fits fel lows it should ever be an index to the characte~r of the soul. This has been illus trated time and again in the lives of many. We might cite innumerable instances, but it would render the article too long. 'Socrates was born as ugly as a satyr, but by his deep thought, by the sculpture-of reason, virtue and self sacrifice, he so re constructed his face, Aliat at last A god saw himself therein, and the Phadon shone with him. Who that is nearing :th' menidian of his life has' not :een aniong his acquaintances some beauti -fu'boy launch out into dissipation and viscious society, teeming with such mag nificent outward signs of all that goes to give astsurance of a man, degenerate un-. de ;oudh- influences into_.a mi.erable apology for a man and a besotted brute.

Newberry as the great day for eclipse", everything was eclipsed, first came a great clod.] and eclipsed the Court House, so- that it was with difficulty we could 'flrid our way through the darkness which covered the sidewalks to the post offiee. Then came the band d' Afrique with Jim Huds-ou blow ing the big drum and a lively dasrkey beat, ing the fife is such a manner as to totally eeNipse .everything, especially that soul stirring march "the girl I left behind ma." After which came the great event of- the day, which had been provided for us-by the Almanac writers and which came off in due time and tander mistsauspicious circumistan ces. The Heavens were clear, the'sun shone brightand the time with the moon drew-nigh, and as it approached the orb of day, that noble source of light, heat and cotton -"gins to pale his ineffectual firs," while the saucy. daughter, miss moon, for a bria period was permitted by the father of them both- to take precedence of the sun, glided gently and gracefully up to her brother theni in front of him, until 'her whole form was visi, ble in front of his, when she had thus reached the point p-oposed, she embraced her dear brother in that long, linrtering em" brace, when all the sweetness of years are drawn forth. It was a beautiful sight even the heavens diffu<ed a soft. dim light -like unto a night lamp hung in some lofty dome. Then came the parting, which was sad to behold; the dear sister who shines on ly in the brightuess, of the sun must part again for years, and it may be forever, from that source of all her beauty and radiance, reluctantly she rears berseif away, and as the noble monarch of the day was dissolving in the mists of the horizon, still she coulkd be seen clinging to him, lingering for the last sweet kiss of parting. roor cynthia, how I pity you, but we all must part. Such is life. Great fall itt-sugar, the streets of Newber-. ry run sweetness, and the young nlegros are jubilant; since the rapid progress towards completion of the Sorghmm Molasses. Co's.

EDITORS :-I offe'r to your read. ers three pieces of poetry, which should ap pear together. With "My Life is like the Summer Rose," many are familiar, but few have seen the beautiful and philosohphical reply of Mrs. Buckley, of Baltimore, or. the rejoinder of the good and gifted Whiteford Smith, tQ whose kindness in preserving these pieces your patrons should, feel indebted. B. "YY LIFE IS LIKE THE SUXun EBL" My life is like the summer rose, That-opens to sht morning's sky, But ere the shades of evening close, Is.scattered on the ground -to die I Yet on the rose's hunble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed, As if she wept the w.ste to see Bat none shalf weep,a teirrfor me ! My life is like the autumn leaf, That trembles in the moon's pale ray, Its hold is frail-its date is brief, Restless-a.nd soon to pass away ! Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and f{de, The parent tree will mourn its shade, The winds bewail the leaftess tree But none shall breathe a sigh for me I My life is like the prints, which feet, Have left on Tarnp:t's desert strand ; Soen as tie rising tide shall beat, All trace will vanish from the sand; Yet, as if grieving to efface All ve"tige of the human race, On that lone shore loud moans the sea, But none, alas! shill mourn for me ! Reply'to "'My Life is like the Sum mer Rose." BY MRS. BUCKLEY. The dews of-night may fall from heaven, Upon the withered rope's bed, And tears of loved regret be given, To mot}rn the virtues of the dead ; Yet mnorning sun the dews will dry And tears will lide from sorrow's eye; Afflction's:pang be lulled to sleep, And even love forget to weep. The tree may mourn its falien leaf,. And autumn winds bewail itb broom, And frietde may. hea-ve the sigh of grief O'er those a'ho'sleep beneath the tomb; Yet "soon wi l syridig renew the flowers, And time will bring more amiling hours; In friendship's heart all grief will die, And even love >orret to sigh. The sea may on the desetr shore Lament esh trace it bears.away; The lonely heart its grief may pour O'er cherished friendships's fast decay ; Yet when all trace is lost ind go'ne, The waves dance briglhx and gaily on ; Thus soon affectioa'n bonds are tora," And evei love forgefs to mourn. Answer to Mrs. Buckley's Reply to Mr. Wilde's "My, Lifo is like the Summer Rose. 'The dears.of nighi mlay fall, from heaven - upon the witherede rose's bied," And many a beaitteous.bud bi-given, In lien of that wicih now is dead.

The leafless tree; wheni spring aball come, -May, teel.ias warmnereviv'ng power, And put forth muan.- a lovely bloom, When moistened by its .genial shower ; *But sun nor shower can e'er ientore The friends whom no w we see no more ; And bicds may sing, and sephyrs blow, These tears can never cease to flowr. -The-ocean wave may gaily swell,, -Receding from the storm-lashed shore; ; But memory hears the funeral knmell, Amig1 its loud resounding~ roar.

TaUT IN BRIEF.-Any body can soil the reputation of an indivdual, however pule and chaste, by uttering a suspicion which his enemies will believe'and his fi iends never hear of. A puff of idle wind can take up a million of the seeds of the thistle, and do a work of mischief which the husbandman must labor long and hard to undo, the floating particles being too trifling to be seen, and too light to be stopped. Such are the seeds of slan der, so easily sown, so difficult to he gath er(d up. and yet so pernicious in their fruits. They know that many a mind will catch up the plague and become poisoned by their insinuation, without ever finding or caring to seek the anti dote. No refutation can refute a sneer, nor any human skill prevent its mis chief. A (oNGRESsIoNAL GANDIDATE SHOT AND FATALLYS WoUNDED.-A dispatch to the Republican Banner, dated Courtland, Ala., August 2, says: "A bout 2 o'clok this afternoon, while Dr. Haughey, Conservative Republican candidate for Congress, was on the stand delivering a speech, he said all t h e Hinds speakers were hire lings. Hinds represents the extreme Radical wing of the Republican party, and is also a congressional candidate. Dr. Collins, a friend of Hinds, called him a d-d liar. Haughey returntd the helligerent epithet, when both clenched. Du ing the struggle, Hfaughey was shot in the left breast, ju:t under the ninth ib. The wound will prove fatal. Hinds sd Collins are both carpet-baggerr. Collins is the man who killed Kornehatn it Tuseumbia some time s.iace, and is a perfect desperado."
