The following affecting statement is from a letter written' by an English sailor to his wife, and describes his sensations upon killing a man for tho . first timo: "?We were ordered to fire, I took steady aim, and fired at my man at about sixty yards. He fell like a stone. At the same time a broadside from the ship went in among the trees and the onemy,disappeared, wo could scarcely tell hqw.: I felt that I must go up to him to sec \fbother ho was doad or alive. He. lay quite still ..and I was more afraid of him lying sotthan when ho stood facing: mo a few moments be? fore It's a< strange fooling to come over you all at. qucc, that you have killed, a man. Ho' had .unbuttoned his jacket, and was pressing his hand over the front of his chest, where the wound was1,. Ho breathed hard, and tho blood poured from tho wound and also from bis mouth every breath ] ho took. His face was white as death, and his eyes looked so big and bright as ho turned them and stared at mo?I shall never foraet a,' He was a fine young fellow, not more than five-ana-twenty. I] went down on my knees besido him, and my breast felt so full, as though my own heart would break. He had a real English face, and did not look like an onemy. What I folt I never can tell; but if my life would have saved his, I believe I should have given it. I laid his bead on my knees, and he tried to speak} but his voice was i gone; I could not tell a word he said, and every time he tiied to 'speak the blood poured out 60s I- knew it would soon be over.! I am not ashamed to say that I was worse than ho, for he' never shed a tear, and I couldn't help I it. I was wandering ho w I could leave him to die and no ono near him, when he had something like a convulsion for a moment) and then' his face rolled over, and. with a sigh he was gone I trust tho Almighty has received his soul. I laid his head gently down on the grass and left him. It seemed so strange when I looked upon him for the last time. I somehow thought of everything I had beard about tho Turks and Russians, and the rest of them; but all that seemed so far off and the dead man so near." A hardshell preacher wished to make a gCod illustration, as he thought, and hence took a " toarnui"as hocalled it, into the pulpit with him and something to crack it with. On holding it up, in the course of his sermon, he said, " My friends, you see this warnut? Well, this outer shell here is like the Metho? dists, soft and spongy, with no strength in it; see, I cv'n break it with my fin? gers." And suiting the action to the words, he disclosed the inner hull, and said, " This is like missionary Bap? tists, hard and dry, with & no substance in it; but the kurnul?tho kurnul, my friends, is like the good old primitive, full of fatness and sweetness." He then proceeded to crush the " warnut" and give his hearers ocular demonstra? tion of his illustration, but behold it was rotten; and, to the utter astonish? ment of his hearers, he cried out, " By jingo; it. is rotten." Oapt.) 0. W. Howoll,of the United' States Engineors, has had over five years' experience in dredging the months of the Mississippi. This from him on, the subject is interesting: " It is a well-known fact that a multitude of plans have been suggested for the improvement of the mouth of the Mis? sissippi, and that at .each session of Congress, several of these have been pressed on tho attention of that body, j I have officially reported on a number of; thorn, and over forty have been brought to my ?ttontion.
