A CHRISTMAS TRAGEDY.-Tho correspon? dence bf tho New Alban}- (Ind.) Commercial says: A most teriiblo disaster occurred one and a half miles from Jasper, tho county seat of Dubois County, on Christmas day. A gentleman named Dashinger and his motlier resided together in a house situated about a mile and a half from Jasper. The mother was seventy years of nge, and quito feeble. On Christmas day, Mr. Dashinger and a portion of his family went to church, leaving his mothar and three of bis children, all small, nt home. During Mr. D.'s ab sence, his mother's clothes by somo means took fire, and were soon in a blaze. She was in her room when ber clothes took fire, and immediately ran into an adjoining room where the three little children were, crying, "Help mel help me, children!" The two eldest children, terribly frightened, ran out into the yard, leaving tho baby in the cradle in the room with the burning grand-mother. Thc eldest girl, about eight years old, almost immediately returned to the room, however, and rescued the infant from its perilous situation; but she was unable to aid ber grand-mother, and tho old lady ran to a bed in the room and tried to get under tho bed clothing, in order to smother tho flames. She fell upon tho bed without accomplishing her object, and il immediately took lire and was soon in n blaze. From tho bed the flames communi? cated to tho house, and it was soon reduced to a heap of ruins und all its contents de? stroyed. THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.-A Germen linguist, Professor Curl Neuman, of Munich, it is stated, hos discovered from the Chinese year-books, that a company of Buddhist priests eutered tho continent of America via Alaska, 1,000 years beforo Columbus, and explored thoroughly and intelligently tho Pacific bordors, penetrating into tho Aztec territory, or tho "land of Fusung," so called after the Chinese nemo of the Mex I ican aloe. MARRIED. In Colombia, on Thursday, Deceniher ill, l?6B, hy tho Rev. E. G. Claee. Mr. It. PERCIVAL to Miss ALLIE T. DUKE, all of this Comity. Five Mlles Above ?lie I airlh . One dull day iu August, just after noon, a balloon rose iu tho air at the foot of Clont Hills, on the Western edge of tho central plain of England. It was inflated with tho lightest of gases which chemical skill could produce, and it rose with ami'"'jg velocity. A milo up und it entered a strati a of cloud moro than 1,000 feet thick. Emerging from thia, the sun shone brightly on the air-ship; tho sky overhead was of the clearest and deepest blue, ?md below lay cloudlaud-an j immeasurable expanse of cloud whoso sur? face looked as soii.l ns ?hat :;f thc earth not wholly lost to view. Lofty mountains and deep, dark ravines, appeared below tho peaks, and the sides of those cloud-mouu taius, next tho sun, glittered like snow, but casting shadows as if they were solid rock. Up rose the balloon with tremendous velo? city. Four miles above earth a pigeon was let loose; it dropped down through tho air as if it had been a stone. - The air was too thin to euable it to fly. It was as if a bark laden to the deck were to pass from the heavy waters of the sea into au inland un sa? line Jake; the bark would sink at once in thc thinner waler. Up, up, still higher! What a silence profound! The heights of the sky were as still as the deepest depths of the ocean, where, as was found during tho search for the lost Atlautic cable, the line mud lies as unstirred from year to yenr as the du it which imperceptibly gathers on the furniture of a deserted house. No sound, no life, only the bright sun shine falling through a bky which it could not warm. Up-five miles above the earth!-higher than tho inaccessible summit of Chimbora? zo or Dawnngiri. Despite the sun shine, everything freezes. The air grows too thin to support lifo, even fora few minutes. Two mon only are in that adventurous balloon tho ono steering the air-ship, the other watohiug the scientific instruments, and re? cording them with a rapidity bred of long practice. Suddenly, as th? latter looks at Iiis instruments, his sight grows dim; ho takes a lens to help bis sight, and only marks from the falling barometer that they are testing rapidly. A llask of brandy lies within a foot of him ; he tried to reach it, but his arm refused to obey his will. He tries to call on his comrade, who has gone np into the ring above; a whisper in tiiat deep si lenco would suffice-but no sound conns from his lips-he is voiceless. The steers? man comes down into the car; he sees his comrade in a swoon, and feels his own senses failing him. no saw at once that life and death hung upon a few moments. He seized, or tried to seize, the valve, in order to open it and let out the ?ras. Iiis hands arc purple with intense cold-they ure paralyzed, they will not respond to bis will. He seized the valve with bis teeth, it opened a little once, twice, thrice. The balloou began to descend. Then the swooned marksman returned tn consciousness, and saw the steersman standing before him. Ile looked at his instrument ; but now the barometer was rising rapidly; tho balloon was descend? ing. Brandy was used. They had been higher above the earth than mortal man or any living thing had ever been before. One minute more of action-of compulsory inaction-on the part of tho steersman, whose senses were failing him, ami the air? ship, with its intensely rarefied gas, would have been floating unattended, with two corpses, in the wide realms of space. -.-o INDICTMENT FOR TREASON.-The following is a list, hitherto unpublished, of the in? dictments for treason now on file in the office of the Clerk of the United States Circuit Court for the District of Virginia: Jefferson Davis, John C.

Office ol Udolpho Wolfe, SOLE IMPORT, MK TUE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC Kens irrs 22 BEAVEH BTIIF.KT, NEW YORK, Nev. t'.S. To the People of the Southern Staten. WI? u the pure medicinal restorative, now HO widely kie.wu as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAITS, waa introduced into tho world, under the endorse? ment of 4,000 loading members of the medical pro? fession, some twenty years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape Hie penalty attached to new and useful preparations. Ho, thcroforo, endeavored to invest it with the strongest postriblo safeguard against counterfeit? ora, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous, lt was submitted to distinguish? ed chemists for analysis, and pro>.ounced hy thom tho purest spirit ever manufactured. Ita purity and proportios having Leen thus ascertained, su m plea uf the article were forwarded to 10,000 pliTsoians, including all tho leading practitioners in "tho United States, tor purp^aos of experiment. A circular, roquoating a trial of tho preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. 4,000 of tho mont eminent medical nun in tho Union promptly responded. Their opinions of thc article were unanimously favorable, Such a preparation, they aaid, had long boen wanted by tho profession, aa no relianco could ho placed on tho ordinary honora of commerce, all of which wore more or loas adultorated, and, therefore, unfit for medical purposes. Thc peculiar excel lonee and strength of tho oil or juniper, which formed ono of tho prineipnl ingredient*) of the Schnapps, together with un unalloyed churucter I of tho ulcoholio element,' give it, in thu estimation I of tho faculty, a* marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as n diuretic, tonie and roborative. 1'husc satisfactory credential* from professional mon of tho highest rank were published in a condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle ol tli-i Schnapps, as ono of the guarantees of its genuineness. Oilier pr?cautions against fraud were also adopted; a patent wan obtained ?or thc I article, tbo label was copyrighted, a,/oc rtmttevt I thu proprietor's autograph signature was attached i to each label and cover, his name and thal of the ' pr< ;::'.rati..n m ic emboss! il on tho bottles, and tho j corks were sealed with his private eoal. No ;irticle liinl ever Leen sohl in tin* country under the uame of Schnapps prior to tho introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the libel was deposited, ns bis trade mark, in tho United States District Court for thu Southern Dis? trict of New York (turin:; that year. It might bo supposed, by persona unacquainted willi the daring character ot the pirati s wno prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants, by vending deleterious trash under their name, that the protections so carofully thrown around these Schnapps would have preclndod 'he introductions and salo of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of imposten. The ti i<ia mark of the proprietor has been stolen: the endorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alouo received iront the medical pro? fession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels an bottles have bei n imitated, his ad? vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of tho genuine contents of his bottles, have tilled them up with common gin, tba most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name and brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and tho sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, aro equally interested with tho propriotor in thc detection and suppression of those nefarious practices. Tin; genuine article, manuf tetured at tho establishment of tho under? signed, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and Qavorcd with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process un? known in tim preparation nf any other liquor, it ie freed from every acrimonious and corrosive ele? ment. Complaints have boon received from tho leading physicians and families in tho Southern States, of tho sale* of cheap imitations of thu Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travel? ers, who are in the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful influence of unwholesome rivei water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Sehicdan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon thu unwary, The'agents of the undersigned have been ri ipiestcc to institute inquiries on tho subject, and to for ward to hint the names of such partios na the] may ascertain to bo engaged in the atroeioui system of deception. In conclusion, the under signed would s iy that he has produced, front nude: the hands of the most distinguished men o science in America, proofs unanswerable of tin purity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedan Aromatic Schnapps; that be has expended man; thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantee and safeguards, which ho designed should protoe tho publia and himself against fraudulent imita lions; that hu hus shown it to be the only liquor ii the world that can bo uniformly depended upo as unadulturatod; that ho has challenged investi galion, analysis, comparison, and experiment i all its forms: and from < very ordeal the prepa ration which bears his name, seal and trade marl has como olT triumphant. He, therefore, feels it duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, t the medical profession and tho bick, to denounc and expose tho Charlatans who counterfeit thea evidences of identity, and bc calls upon tho pref and the public to aid him ill his < fforts to reined so great an evil. Tho following letters and certificates, from th leading physicians and chemists of this city, wi prove to tho reader that all goods sold by tl; undersigned are all thev are represented to be.

DKAK Sin: Tho want of pure Wines and Liquoi for medicinal purposes, has boen long felt by tl profession, and thousands of lives have been sa rificed by the uso of adult?r?t) d articles. Delirio tremens, and other diseases of the brain ai nerves, so rifo in this country, are very rare Europe; owing, in a groat degree, to thc difieren in thc purity of thu spirits poid. We have tested the several articles import and sold by you, including your Gin, which y< sell under the name of Aromatic Schieda Schnapps, which we consider justly entitled to t high reputation it has acquired in ibis count] and, front your long experience ns a loreign ii porter, your Bottled Winer, and Liquors shot moot with tho same demand. Wo would recommend you to appoint some tho respectable apothecaries m different parts tho city as agents for tho sale of your Brandi and Wini's, where t ho profession can obtain t same when needed for medicinal purposes.

A lady ,u Philadelphia quotes a "notice" in the announcement of a grand hall at tho Academy of Music: "Females of un equivo? cal character will be rigidly excluded." Why not apply the same rule, she asks, to males ot an equivocal character? Tho ques? tion is well put. Dr. Newman, an eminent New Orleans divine of Northern proclivities, is reported to have challenged D. Deunett, tho editor of tho St. Mary's (La.) Planters' Banner, to personal combat. He defends his belli? gerency by saying that Moses, Joshua and David fought, and nono of them had to contend with such children of the devil as tho rebels of that country. The letter carriers of New York city aro 308 in number, and during tho year ondiug October 1, delivered 11,804,230 mailed let? ters. 0,579,850 city letters, and 2,589,093 newspapers. In tho same period they col? lected from lamp-post boxes 28,551,910 letters. It is the lot of genius to bo opposed, and to be invigorated by opposition; all extremes touch each other; frigid praise and censure wait upon attainable or common powers; but the successful adventurer in tho realms of discovery, leaps on an unknown or long lost shore, ennobles it with his name, and grasps immortality. Tun INDIAN WAU.-Sheridan writes to General Sherman: "The Indians now re I cognize for the first time that winter will I not compel us to make a truce with them." Everything indicates that when this cam? paign is finished, there will bo a permanent Indian peace. "I don't denounce you," said a saucy young fellow to an editor, "but ouly your subordinate, I merely made a fling at your 6taff." "Well, sir," replied tho editor, suiting the action to the word, "then my staff shall have a fling at you." There aro two reasons why some people don't follow tho advice, "mind your own business." First, they haven't any busi? ness, and second, no mind to bring to it. Eather poorly off, that stylo of humanity. Mix kindness with authority, and rule rather by discretion than rigor. A prosy mau is like tho clock of tho mill when there is no corn to grind. .?*>_"i-T<3-fc?ojrL Sales. Richland County, South Carolina, DECEMBER 28, 18GS. BY permission of W. H.
