AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR. v Chcruv. is a considerable village, or per haps, rather, a small country town, in tho Northern part of South Carolina, but a few miles from thc confines of thc nof gil boring State of North Carolina, (?on. Sherman's vic torious army passed through il and remained there some days in the month of February, 1S05. The inhabitants were, of course, sub jected to all the losses and sufferings which in all ages ar.d in all countries have been conse quent upon the i tit bud of a triumphant army into tho region of what it deems a peculiar ly hostile foe. Rut even amid tho excitement of angry and mercenary passions, which al ways prevail to too great an extent among thc soldiers of an invading and conquering host, the still .miall voice of masonry will bc heard mid felt. Dr. K-, an intelligent mason, and n most worthy citizen of Ohcrtfw, has related to nie the following anecdote, which 1 give al most in his own wonts : " Some time previous to the appearance o Gen. Sherman's army," said thc Doctor, " ] transported front my plantation to my resi dene ; in Ohoriiw, n larg* amount of provisioi whlull I had on used tobo stored, for safe heep ing, in the attic rooms of my dwellinghoutaj There were living with meat the time my wife my children, and ti lady who was n distan relative, nil d?pendent on me for protcotioi and sui nut. (In the day after the appeal: ance of thc army in the town, I was sta tul i nj at tho door of my mansion when an officer np proa ohed, accompanied by a guard and follow ed by a large! baggage wagon. Ile nitre duccd himself as Incut. H-, of \Yi.< cousin, when thc following conversation too place : " Have you any ftpoch) in your house ? " I have not." " Have you any poid or silver P" " Yes, I have a gobi watch, and my wil has another ; and 1 have the usual plate of respectable family-some silver forks an , spoons, and things of thal kind " " Well, I will attend to thoso matters i time. What provisions have you in the house? " About enough to Inst my family a year. " Show them to ino." " I conducted him to the attic room, fo lowed by my wife, and he accompanied by h guard pf soldiers. He looked at the good! display of wheat, and maize -and bacon, an corned beef, and then said : " I havo an order from Gen. Sherman take all your provision, except ten rations fi ten days* for your family. Men, set to woi and (ill tho wagon." "1 looked on with consternation. Thc id of being left with only ten days provision nil means of transportation taken away, tl railroad and bridges destroyed, and no post bility, .therefore, of getting a fresh suppl was anything but a delcetltblo prospect, as afforded in the futuro a very closely opprnac ing picture of netu d starvation. Rut 1 thon? that if he were ri unison there was still soi hope of saving myself and family from t threatened ruin ; .and for thc first time in i lifo, long as I have ?been a member nf the ( der, determined to have recourse to it for tl nid which it had promised to bo in tillie peril and danger. ? common ced, therefore, in the mute I expressive, language of cur institution to quire if Lieut. R-, was a brother the mystic tin. To my signals ho promp responded,' and in a few minutes I .vas ci vinced that he was a master iu . .... I p coed ed in the same mysterious manner w my investigations, and I was satisfied that was also a Royal Areli Com pan ion, and < bright too in the ritual. Having learned tl much, I resolved to try tho expert meit ft crust's, and to make thal last appeal, to wh I hoped he would not bo inattentive, for i on it was founded my hope of food for my ? and children. " Tho position bf iKirigs nt this time i thus: 1 was standing in ibo centre of i room where the provision wore stored ; on right hand was my wife, opposite to mo t .the Lieutenant ; tho soldiers had just ' with thc first load of provisions, which tl were conveying to the wagon below. I av ed myself of the opportunity afforded their abscnet), and by the fact that my w was intently loooking on tho floor in n p sive altitud", to move back a stop and to ni that signal to which no ttuc unison can w out perjury, refuse to respond. " The Lieutenant, ns he recognized hail, seethed for a moment surprised, and] hups confused. Ho turned rapidly on his 1 and retreated to a window, where ho sat di and leaned his head upon his hand, nppar ly in deep thought. After a few minutes soldiers, who lind deposited their first lon the wagon, returned, and were preparing ; throw another load upon their shoulders. . ? (lint moment tho lieutenant roso from his scat,, and in a grutf voice cxolaimd : ''Moil, put those things down. You eau go." In response to their look of surprise, ho con tinued : .1 guess there isn't more hero than i? sullicicnt for thc family. *' The soldier.! departed empty handed, and ? with them their commanding officer. As he | passed tut of the door ho whispered to n ser geant, who had previously boen placed there as a guard over the premises. What that j whisper meant I soon learned. After thc ont-J cer's departure, the sergeant approached mc, and in a respectful manlier asked if 1 could ac commodate him with a place to sloop. 1 replied in tho affirmative, when ho said : " Another man will soon be hero to relieve mo, but the lieutenant luis given me orders j to remain in thc house and protect it from i deprcdutions by stragglers." 11 Tho mystic sign had prevailed. 1 was ! left, not with ten days, hut with Ynoro than ten months provisions ; my silver and gold were untouched ; and my house, under the guardi anship of thc sergeant, was never molested during the remaining stay of the army. , | " I never saw Lieutenant li-again," j ?said Pr. K-?-, concluding his tale, hut this I know of him, that whoever he was he was a good and true maStut." No mason who reads this little story will, we imagine, refuse his assent to thc proposi tion. A PnopiiKOV.- Daniel Webster, in a pub lic speech delivered nt Fancuil Hall, on the 7th of March, 1850, made usc of thc follow ing words : ? If the infernal fanatics and Abolitionists ever get power in their hands, they will over ride the Constitution, set thu Supremo Court at defiance, make laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands oil those who di lier with them in their opinions, or dare question their in fallibility, nnd tinnily bankrupt the country and deluge it in blood. A statesman never displayed more political sagacity than inhere exhibited, nor was a proph ecy ever more truly verified. -. A NrcW AND Coot) Woiu>.-The " New York News" has invented or manufactured a word which has a very expressive sound. lt Calls the Yankee twaddle about Massachu setts. New England. kc, and about our jjlo rious free government, " I'odsnnppcry." TllK wife of a returned Ohio soldier was alarmed lest her husband should lose his arm. which had been badly wounded by a musket j ball ; but by her careful nursing it was saved. ? Hight months after she gave birth to a child, I one of whose arms was porfco! ; but the other I was a stump similar to thc ono with which thc i wife's mind was impressed at the time th?; surgeons were talking about taking off her husband's arm. Tho scar of thc bu?lot-holo, so visible on tllO father's arm, was also visible on the child's at the base of the stump. G KN. M. W. CAUY.-Prom thc "Rich I mond Examiner," of thc 2Gth, wc copy thc following notice of (Joli Cary. Wc were gratified yesterday to receive a vis it from CJcner.il M. W.

TllK "St. Louis Republican " tolls the fol : lowing wheat story: "Judge Russell, ot i toi I county, produced from a single grain of whoa I a stool of seventy-live stalks, averaging twee i ty-nine grains each, or an aggregate of tw< thousand one hundred and seventy-five grains ? Were a bushel and'a half (tho ordhiary quin tity) sown on an acre, and produce in the prc portion this grain has done, tho yield WOtlh be 8262j bushels on thc acre.

The wy tn nat Ky of thc pet plc favored thc girl, and she mis not been n rested. A GOOD WtFK.-A good wife is ono wit j puts her husband in tho. side of tho bcd no to the wall, and' tucks him in to keep bil wann in the winter, splits thc wood, inaki thc fires in thc morning, washes ber husband face, and draws on bis boots for him, nevi suffers n rent to romain in her husband's smn clothes, keeps her shoes up at the heels, an her stockings darned, never wonders what h< husband sccs interesting in tho young womn who lives across tho way, never shuns tho doi vbrtn her husband is spenkintr. and always r . {hovea tho children when they eat up thc father's supper. Homicide. ' ' Mr. Lemuel Lane, of tilts district, was brutally uiurdorcd hist Friday night, by n num ber of freedmen, together with one' or two while men, ns we arc iufotmod. The instru ment used was an nxo or ha,chet. It appears that no'was asleep under the shade of a large ' (ree near thc door of Ms dwelling, with a little son by bis side. Tho party stealthily ap proached tho sleeper, and with one. fell blow despatched the unfortunate man, who passed, apparently without a groan or murmur, to the eternal world,-for his little son slept calmly on, unconscious of his father's cruel fate. Mi". Lane bad in his possessen between eight and nine thousand dollars in gold, Which was the key to this atrocious design. His daughter, eldest smiand Mr. Heller, a guest, escaped. The two latter were carried some distance and tied, but sueooctled in liberating themselves. It is believed that thc party, after getting the gold, made a general distribution, then stealing a quantity of meat, whisky and two mules, went in the direction of Columbia, liefere daylight, Saturday morning, as soon asa few men could be got together, pursuit was made. . Hut strange ?ic the ways of Providence, lt would seem that two of tho party arriving/* near Columbia, met several little hoys ut play, j and accosting them '??-ked if there was not a , nigh cul across, to the Charlotte 'Huilr^ad, j which was answered ?li the aintmnti\o; also if there was not a spring near hy. The boys went with them to point ont thc spring, when, in stooping to drink, a hag of money tull from one of the party, which excited an exclama tion of surprise from thc boys. They were hushed up with nu oath and a throat. The men then left the spring, and the boys, alarm ed, went home and informed. Pursuit . was then made, by several citizens of Columbia, whereupon the party discovering their pursu ors instantly ran in opposite directions. Thc\ would nut halt. Ono was shot and the other captured. The niau shot was recognized by a colored b >y who formerly lived here as John Counts, alias J edin I la wk in.*, the other was ? confined in thc Columbia pol John Counts had eighteen hundred dollars in specie about his pers m. The other, who gave his mime as Cook, had a fcinnll amount of money, mid a pistol with -Mr. Lane's name engraved there on. We understand that twelve or thirteen are under arrest hort*suspected ?d' complicity in the murder.- Xi wherry Hi niki, Au*/, I. 1 The Cultivation of Turnips, We insert the following very opportune ar ticle which we lind ?li the " Southern Cultiva tor," ns being more acceptable to most of our readers than the demoralizing accounts of crimes which we regret to say, are now filling j the columns of the journals throughout the country. Wc wintered last season two cows, from the iime grass failed until the 20th of Pebruary, upon turnips. These turnips did not occupy one-half acre, and sonic twenty-live bushels hud been used for other purposes. A light sandy loam is best for turnips, if made rich, because thc small seed in snob soils germinate, better, thc young plants grow off more rapidly, and are at maturity more I smooth, regular and uniform in size, and of better quality for table use. They succeed admirably on such lands newly cleared, with proper preparation-thc ashes and mould an swering in place of manure. Above all otb-* ors. genuino Snpcr-phosphatc is likely to pro duce the best results, as it has more visible elfeots upon the turnip crop than any other whatever. The groat canses of failure are two. The soil is not generally made rich enough, and is ton generally left lumpy and ill-prepared, and full of the seed of weeds lit a turnip patch, not a lump should be left unbroken, mid all the seeds of weeds should, haVo been germina ted before sowing. When the ground is thoroughly made soft and line, apply yodr Sup^r phosphate and oth er manures at the surface, and harrow in. Three hundred pounds to the aero, of the lat ter, will pay, but not s well as five. We prefer applying Superphosphate, and sowing the Boed in drills, foi ?mud culturo, two feet apart; for the plow (a coulter or other narrow plow must bo used,) twenty-eight inches will do. If sown on n light bed, it will bo more convenient for cultivation. In short cultivate exactly like cotton. Thc result will be three, four, six, eight hundred or even a thousand bushels to thc aero, according to the season, and to how well you have done your duty. We sow Iluta Haga in July and August, and other turnips up to the 1st of October. A word about varieties. Wc tried last year, mid succeeded with some eighteen kinds, which wo will tell of in our next number; but of all those, it is sufficient now to say Hid Top, Strap Leaf, Lari/n White G tobe, Nor folk, (White or Pod.) Yellow Aberdeen, Yel low Stone, Villon- ?lula. Haya, White Ruta Haga, (or Sweet Gorman,), arc all we shall try again Of those eighteen kinds. Of these, those in italics ure perhaps, for family use, ns good as any. Thc first comes earlier thau any other sort, and tbs- last is tho sweetest and best keeper for lalo spring usc, TlfE last will and testament of the late Gen. Lewis Cass was admitted to probate at Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday. The value bf tho es tate is estimated at one million dollars. The internal revenue stamp upon tho probate of thc will is fivo hundred dollars. "TumunM? woather, this!'' said Quilp, wiping his brow. " Never say weather too hot for mo," was tho derisive reply. " (Jood for.you," said Qidlp ; " T congratulate you on being prepared for your ultimate destiny !" Ir you wish to bring up a child in thc way it should go, it would probably bo as well foi you to travel that way yourself.'. Tho Famous Needle Gnu So much has been written concerning this terrible weapon, now used hy thc Prussians, that wc publish thc following description ns a matter of general interest : ..' This arm, already adopted in thc Prussian army, is. a earbino. or noodlc-gun, that is to say, a contral-firing gun, being loaded from thc breach, on a system similar to that of tho guns which arc beginning to ho used hy the great amateurs of t hc chase, The partridge ls placed in the-chamber with thc rapidity which is-re quired to . discharge tho pun of Lcfa-uohcx, and all other pieces i:i which the bartel is dis charged or displaced liy a simple movement This barrel receives its charge and is restored tn its place in ti few seconds. The firing, in place of being determined by the employment of a oap. as in our fi rea ms. is produced by tho contact of a needle, with the cap, which cap is placed in Ibo centre of the cartridge, and tho movement of the needle is produced by thc play of a battery which works upon n strong spiral spring placed behind thc lock of the gun. The. snyng runs through tho powder and pushes against the explosive lozenge, cap or priming nineo between thu charge and the hall. Thc ?iring theil is central, interior Hird instantaneous; The powder Inking its full forcOtof expansion at a lime, the charge may bo less considerable ; thc piece being rifled, the precision is much greater. This portable ! li rca rm being light, does not fatigue thc sold ! icr, and being loaded by thc breach and the | pruning being attached to thc cartridge, the discharges may Micceed each other in as rapid succession as those fired from a revolver. Such is thc murderous weapon which bas excited so inned] ridicule in so many military circles in Ku rope, and of which Prussia is making such terrible use lo day to her own aggrandize - ment.
