THE VOLUNTEER COUNSEL. A TllUIJ.UNU STOUY. John Taylor was licensed, when a youth of twonty-ono, to practice at thc bar. Ile was ppor, but well educated, and possessed extra ordinary genius. Ho married a beauty, who afterwards deserted him for another. Ou the 9th of April, 18 IO, tho courthouse . in Clarksville, Texas, was crowded to over flowing. Au exciting case was to bo tried. Georgo Hopkins, a wealthy planter, had pfftf.r . ed ? gross insult to Mary Ellison, tho young .and bo?utiful wife of his overseer. The hus band threatened to chastise him for th-> out rogo, when Hopkins wont to Ellison's house " and shot him in hi? own door. Tito murder er was. nrrcstod and bailed to answer the ?charge. This oocurrcuco produced groat ox citomcnt, and Hopkins, in order to turn the tide of popular indignation, had circulated re ?lofts against her character, and she had.sued lim for slander. Both suits woro pending for murder and slander. Tho inlcrest became deeper when it was "known that Ashlee and Pike, of Arkansas, and S. S. Prentiss, of New Orleans, by enor mous fees, had been retained to defend Hop kins. Hopkins was acquitted. Tho Texas law yers wcro overwhelmed by their opponents. It was a fight of u dwarf against ghiuts. Tho slander suit was for thc 9th, and thc throng of spectators grow in numbers as in ex citement. Public opinion was seltine in for Hopkins; his money lind procured witnesses who served his powerful advocates. When thc slander case was called, Mary Ellison was loft without an attorney-all had withdrawn. " Have you no counsel ?" Inquired Judge Mills, looking kindly on the plaintiff. *i No sir ; they have all desorted tuc, and 1 am too poor to employ any moro," replied thc beautiful Mary, bursting into tears. " In such a case, will not sonic chivalrous member of the profession volunteer?" said thc judge, glancing around the bar. The thirty lawyers wero silent. " I will, your honor," said a voicefrom thc thickest part of thc crowd, from behind tin bar. At tho sound of that vuiec many started it was so unearthly, sweet and mournful. Thc first sensation was changed into laugh . ter when a tall, gaunt, spectral figuro ol bo wet his woy through the crowd, and placed him self within the bar. His clothes looked si shabby that the court hesitated to let tho eas' proceed undor his managemcpt. "'HAt?your name been entered on the roll .of the State?" demanded the judge "It is immaterial," answered the stranger his thin, bloodless lips curling up with a sneer u Here is my license from the nighest tribu nal in America," and he handed thc judge : broad parchment. The trial went on. Hu suffered the witnesses to tell their owi story, and he allowed the defense to lead oil Ashley spoke first, followed hy Pike ant Prentiss. The latter brought thc house dowi in cheers, in which the jury joined. It was now thc stranger's turn. He ros< before thc bar, tiot behind it, and so near tlx wondering jury that he might touch the fore man with his long, bony finger. Ile proceed ed to tear to pieces thc arguments of Ashlee which molted away at his touch like frost be fore a sunbeam j every one looked surprised Anon bc came to thc dazzling wit ot' the poet lawycrt Pike Then the cur! of lila lip grev sharper, his smooth face bogan to kindle up and his eyes to open, dim and dreary no long er, but ytyia as lightning, rod ns fire glob?? and glaring as twin meteors. Tho whole sou was in the eye ; thc full heart streamed ou of his face. Then, without bestowing an al lusion to Prentiss, he turned short around oi the'perjurcd witnesses of Hopkins, tore thc! testimony into threads, and hurled in ihei faocs such terrible invectivesthntnll tremble* like aspens, and two of them fled from tin courthouse. Tho excitement of the crowt wrfs becoming tremendous. Their united Hf and soul seemed to hang* upon tho burning tongue of tho stranger, and lie inspired then with tho power of his passions. Ile scctnci to have stolen nature's long biddon secret o attraction. Hut his greatest triumph was t como. His eyes hogan to glance nt tho assassi Hopkins, tts his lean tnpor fingers assutnoi tho samo direction. He hemmed tho wretel with a wall of strong evidence and impregna bio argument, nutting oft' nil hope of escape Ho dug beneath the murderer's feet ditohc of dilemma, and held up the shinderor to th scorn and contotnptof ti?? populace. Ilavin thus girt him about with a circlo'of fire, li stripped himself to the work of massa01*0. Oh ! then it was a vision bptlt glorious; nu dreadful to behold thc orator. His action became as impetuous as thc motion of an oa in a hurricane His voice became n trump? filled with wild whirlpools, deafening the ni with thc ernshes of power, and yet interiiiin glod nil tho while with a sweet undersong c thc soft ondenco. His forehead plowed like heated furnace, his countenance was hagger like that of a maniac, and'ovor nnd anon h flung his long and bony ti rm 3 on high as i grasping after 'thunderbolts. lie drew a picture of murder in euch appa' ling colors that in comparison boll itself migli scorn beautiful ; ho painted tho slamlorcr s WaoU that tho'sun scorned dnrk at noonda when shining on suoh a monster. And tho fixing both portraits on tho shrinking Hoj kins, fastened thom forovor. Tho .agitation < the audience) amounted almost to madness. AU at once tho speaker descended from tl . perilous height. His voioe Wailed out for tl; murdered dead and livin'g^t?iobeautiful Mi ry, moro beautiful ovory moment ns her tea flowed .fautor--till npm '? wept and sobbed lil ohildroto." .' .

This was tho most artful trick of nil, and best calculated to insure vengeance. Tho jury returned a verdict of fifty thous? and dollars ; nud tho night afterwards Hop kins was taken out Of his bod by lynchers and heaton ollil?st to death. As tho court od-' journcd tho stranger said : " John Taylor will preach hero this evening tit early caudle light." Ile did preach, and thc house was crowded. I have listened to Cloy, Wobster and Cul houn--to ])wight, Bascom ?nd Beecher-but never heard anything in tho form of sublimo words even approximating to thc eloquence of John Taylor-massive na a mountain, and wildly rushing as a cataract' of fire." Tlij? MORMON SAINTS.-Tho Sa|t Lake Vidctto thus brusquely defines the split which I has takou place in tho Mormon Church : Young Joo Smith, tho sou of thc Mormon prophet, is the acknowledged hoad of thc large body of Mormons in the Western States, who accept tho " Book of Mormon " and the prophecies of Joe Smith ; und he denounces polygamy and. blood atonement us innovations on tho fuith of tho Latter-day ?Saints, and styles such practices grievous .crimes against tho well bei n V of society. ' Brigham Young is tho'aoknowledgcd head of all tho Latter-day Saints iu Utah, who ocoept tho " Book of Mormon," the prophecies.of Joe Smith,, ho lieve in polygamy, blood atonement ?ind Brig ham's special revelations. Joe Smith Jr., i? determined to be recognised and acknowledged as tho head of tho Mormon Church, and Bringhnm is determined that he won't. Sonto of thc Smith family came out hore last .sum iller to prone!) thc " pure quill," but they didn't run away with the people. They tuet poor success. Brigham nircd all that was left of the Smith family, one Sunday afternoon iu the Tabernacle, including thc wile of Joe Smith, tho prophet. Joe Smith, Jr.. has about forty thousand adherents in tho Western States, while young has double or treble that number in Utah. Some of thc defective have tuft und are leav ing li tah to enroll themselves under Joe Smith's banner, but Young li is much the ad vantage of tho Smith family, both in power and position. Brigham, Jr., has boen cho sen to succeed his father as head of the Church. TUB NKW SOUTHERN TEXTILE.-The "New Orleans Picayune" gives additional particulars of the new textile plant that is to sn per cede thc cotton plant, lt is called the Kantie. Boots set out on the 28tl of March have sent up vigorous shoots, which arc now live inches high. It shows strong tendency to spread, and imitating iu this respect the low growing wild rose called " Bridal rose," having a leaf quite like it when sundi, and of like color-a bright light green. These roots were nearly a month in sprouting. The ground was a tenacious clay, so that a sandy soil is hy no moana essential to Its growth. Roots planted in other places somewhat later arc also coming up. There will, evidently be no difficulty in raising it.. The specimens of fabrics made from thc r?unie have boon received in Cuba- -both those of ramie alone and those of rn tn ie and wool united-and tho Diario, of Havana, says they leave nothing more to be desired. They have also received in Havana seeds of the plant, which have been furnished by thc Society of Aoolitnntion of Paris. Whether these seeds will germinate ns readily as tho plant glows roots remains to be seen. A further supply is exp. ctcd from Vera Cruz tts soon ns the siege of that city is sufficiently at au end to enable them to be obtained. Tho price nf the roots is one dollar each, or one bundled for ninety dollars. DIA.MONTIS or GOLCONDA.- it appears that tho celebrated diamond mines of Golconda, in India,'80 far from being likely to give out, as has been reported, have, ns yid, been only very imperfectly worked. An lCnglish officer, .in the Madras army, who has recently visited tlicsc-if mines they can bo called.-says they have hardly yet been worked nt all ; that, most of thc diamonds thus far obtained have been found near the surface, tho richer sort, lying deep in the bowels of the earth, mid that the patt ves, having no appliances for dinging be yond a orowbar, seldom excavate below twen ty loot in depth, though it is found that the deeper they go, the lurger and richer mid moro abundant the diamonds tire found. Beside diamonds, other precious stones nre turned out of these holes, as rubies, garnets, opah', catrt'-eyes, moonstones, ?fco. NEARLY A VICTIM.-A fashionable young Indy of Milwaukee, who wits ambit ions to shine as tho bello of hor circle, nearly fell a victim to ber vanity Inst week. She had heard that arsenic was a bcnutilicr, mid, re solving to become an nrsonio-oator, she pro cured a supply of the poisonous drhg. Not knowing the quantity.(lint could bo safuly ta ken, howevor, she usod too much for tho first dose, nnd ber friends, were alarmed by a sup posed attempt nt suicide, until the victim, in nu intorvnl from violent sickness, was enabled to give nu explnnntion. A fatal result was averted by the skilful attentions ofthe physi cians, and the patient is in a fair .way of rc covory. Young Indies who aro determined to add lo thc ((harms which nature has bostowod on them, should beware of poisons, and trust only to nature's cosmetics of nir and exorcise and pure water. By these, and tho harmoni ous cultivation of their faculties, they will oo qulrc a beauty moro lasting and attractive than con be obtained by. any other means.
