.. 'Fanner's.. Cultivator' .richly de
serves.the appellatatiou which heads
this article. The Patentee claims for
this invention'!thc following advanta
ges :,
1st. It can be used as tt single plow,
tising either 'cotton or turn plow'cast
ings. As a single plow it can be used
as au ordinary cotton plow to 'side
cotton,' 'split out middles' or do all
work necessary for a plow to do, in
the cultivation of cotton; b)r putting
on the turn plow castings it can
be Used for all purposes, for which
turnplows are used.
2nd., By attaching the second plow
aTTOUijftrpfuw IS* fin irnr!J r't^Jl^vflfCtW'
cotton row can be 'sided and the mid
dies split out by going up and coining
down' once.
By putting on the turn plow cast
ings, a double turn plow is formed,
which ?ein do the work of 2 men and
2 horses, with one man JJand a single
horso, with as much ease as with an
ordinary turn plow.
3rd. By attaching the third plow, a
.tripple.plow is formed' with which a
man a and 2 horses, can do as much
work, cither in 'breaking up' or 'plow
ing in' small grain, in a given time, as
3 men and 3 horses.

'?Tins Hravnft are the Tnulcrost."
BY MRS. M. l.Ol'J.SK Cl'.CS.SIiKY.
. It Js a singular but interesting
study?the exquisite aliiuily which
some emotions of our nature have with
others of equal nobleness and purity.
The commingling of the most delicate
chemicals cannot .surpass the .syntheti
cal combination of these priceless but
inimaterial substunevs of the soul.
While I do not think thai any dibit
of. emotional synthesis could unite
cowardice und tenderness into one
indissoluble body, I have never known
a man who was truly brave, in the
best souse of the word, but his nature
was tender and sympathetic.
When our beloved and immortal
Lee?God bless him !?walked over
tho battle ground at Malvcru Hill, it
was told me by one of his men, who
Jay wounded himself upon that bloody
field, that he never saw more sympa
thy manifested by a woman than was
shown by his idolized chief towards
the men who had lallen underhis
leadership mat day ftnd iioJpftpJj^frEi
tore htmi wounded, dead or dying.
The great Southern champion, just
from the flush of victory over the de
feated ioc, without one thought of the
fresh laurels about his brow, left his
suite, and, alone, went about among
hit' fil'ow-ineti, to cheer and relieve
thciu wherever he could. "With the
tears streaming from his eyes, he here
bends over a poor wounded private in
rags and tatters, and lifting his head
tenderly, puts the cup of water to his "
lips; and while endeavoring to staunch
the blood of an ugly wound, speaks
words of hope and oomfort to the suf
ferer, moaning so touchiugly in his
pain. Over thee, he bows by some
dead hero, fallen "with his face to the
foe," and smoothing back tho matted
und gory locks from the pallid face,
reverently folds the icy bunds upon the
pulseless breast and straightens the
stiffening limbs in the cold embrace of
death; then sadly passing on, now
kneels beside one who fell in ?lose
encounter with his Inst enemy. The
soldier lifts his eyes to the pitying
face of his beloved General, who, with
tears still dropping down his bearded
checks tenderly presses the clammy
hand in his, and says in a low quiver
voice : "My friend,.this is one of the
heart rending hut inevitable results ol
war. You have done your duly nobly
and bravely; lift your heart now to
Him who can savo, and lie will soon
receive your spirit whore there is no
more con icf. and death."
'?'Tis love, love, (bat makes the world ^o
round.''
Though the earth is gadder for the
loss of Ivobert K. Lee, 1 thank (Jed
that wc have known and loved him,
and that his life with us is a precious
and eternal memory ! Though we
may never look upon his like again,
it is a sweet joy to know that he is
now Kale where
"No winds of war will ever blow;"
that his "tender crowned soul'! is with
God, who is love?where no envious
enmity can ever again vent its cruelty
and malico against him, and no Lost
Cause break his great, loving heart.

That was a shrewd method which
an Iowa gjrl recently adopted to in
duce" all her friends to attend hor
wedding. She didn't let them know
up to the lasi moment \vho I ho groom j
was to be.
A l'atriutic (Uli,
At Irya time General Green retrea
ted before Lord Rawdou from "Ninety
Six, whmi he bad passed Broad river
lie was reiry desirous tosend an order
to General Sum tor who was on the
?AVttterce, to join him; that they might
attack Rawdon, who had divided his
fvrce. But the general could find no
man in thai part of the Stato who
was bold cnAugli to undertake so dan-;
geroiS5moission. The country to be
passed torougb for many miles was
lull of blood-thirsty torus, who on ev
ery occasion that offered imbrue I their
bands in the blood of the whigs.
At length Emily Geiger presented
herself to General Green, and propo
sed to act as bis messenger; and the
general/both surprised and delighted,
0*030 with her proposal. He decor
dingly wrote a letter and delivered it,
and at the same time communicated
the contents of it verbally, to be told
to Sutnt'jr in case of accidents, Emily
was y?utig, but as to her person or ad
ventures on the way we have no fur
Iber information, except that she was
inountciLon horseback upon aside sad
die, and on the second day of her jour
hey shefwas inter opted by Lord Haw
don'* schuts. Coining from the direc
tion of prccne's army, and not being
able to:tell an untruth without blush
ing, Emily was suspected and consign
ed lo a room, and as the officer in com
raaritfrfi?d the modesty not to search
her at ^he time, he sent for an bid to
ry matt on as more fitting for that put
nose. Ivjuily was not wanting in expe
dient, rend as soon as the door was
closed and the bustle a little subsided,
she ateiup the letter, piece by piece.
After;-TO\iiile the matron arrived,ami,
upon smirching carefully, nothing was
to be-?Mind of a suspicious nature

allayed, (he' olucc'r'commanding lue
scouts suffered Emily to depart width
er she was bound; but she took a route
somewhat circuitous to avoid further
detention, and soon after struck into
the road to Sumler's camp, where she
arrived in safety. Emily told her ad
venture, and delivered Gr en's verbal
message to Sumter, who, in conse
ijuence soon after joined themain army

IS IT ?
A short time since mention was
made in the L'uion and American of a
mysterious hand that bad grown from
a grave in Gibson. County. We got
our information from an article in the
Jackson Courier-Herald. "We extract
from that article the following account
of this wonderful phenomenon :
' "Moud.iy our city was unusually
excited by tho exhibition iu the Vovr
iei-Herald office of a hand of wood
which grew out of a grave near York
ville, iu Gibson County. It was
brought into our of lice by Captain G.
S. Andrews of tliat county, who gives
us its history, A man named Wil
liam Her ??on was outwalking witli bis
wife one Sunday evening not long
since, and iu passing *u old neglected
graveyard, near the public road,1 she
sa?v a gum bush with a b nth of
mislctoc oil its top, and requested her
husband to get it for her. lie went
and cut. the top oil" the bush, and com
menced breaking off the in islet oe,
when, to his surprise ami terror, lie
discovered that the wood underneath
presented the perfect form of a human
band. Capt. Andrews, hearing of the
wonderful discovery, went to the
hotiso of Mr. Herren, who, feeling
rather uncomfortable over t he though I
that he cut it from a grave, and per
il-, ps having some theory as to il*
supernatural significance, very wil
lingly let Capt. Andrews have it.
There are citizens of this city to whom
Capt. Andrews and Mr. Horron are
known, and they are vouched for as
truthful men, but *bc hand itself is
proof enough of (lie truth of their
statement, concerning its growth on a
bu>h. The bush from which it was
cut i- .-ix feet high, and tho baud was
on the top pointing upwards, present
iug the position of the minister's hand
when pri nouncing a benediction. It
is about the size of it six year old;
child's hand, with Jong slender fingers
like those of a person very much
emaciated by sickness. The wood
has enlarged formations on each finger
and the. thumb, representing and cor
responding with the. joints of the hu
man hand. The most remarkable
feature about it is the natural appear
ance of the nails. They have a kind
of llesh color, and the balance of the
hand, wdiere the bark has been entire
ly removed looks ghastly white. The
first impression it makes upon yon is
the same experienced in handling a
skeleton, and a large majority ol
those who see it, regard it with the
same subdued, half superstitious owe,
inspired by the presence of a corpse.
Mr. Andrews says the grave from
which it was cut is supposed to be the
grave of n very devout Methodist
minister by the name of Butcher, who
was buried there many years ago."

Col. OrzoJ. Dodds, Into meiub t of

had but recently come offasix weoks'

ing an attitude, with one hand on his

dramatic air:
