FROM OUR REGIMENT.

A letter published in the New Orleans Pr
cayune, dated Buena Vista, Aug. Is, says
that Col Payne of the North Carolina Regi-
ment, had rendered himself so unpopular with
his Regiment, that they were very insubordi-
nate and disposed to revolt They had refused
to obey him and had thrown stones at his tent,
and that Col. Payne had shot two of them. {.
We have information from Buena Vista, da-
ted 18th Aug, partly confirming this unfortu-
nate news
Col Payne had been very rigorous in his
punishments. and had finally erected wood
en- horse for his men to ride, "a disgraceful
punishment, known in the army) This reused
the Indignation of his own troops, both Off
GERS and men; and brought down the sneers
and jibes of the Virginia and Missississipp
Regiments, encamped near by. A large
party OF the ViIginiaNs and Mississippians
captured Col. Payne's wooden horse. anu

business in Brunswick County, are in the habit oil
going down to Beaufort County, under the pre-

Rich Requests to the Episcopal ChMrch.-In
1929, Frederick Kohne, a native of Germany,
died in this city, leaving legacies to the amount
$4,000, to be paid on the death of his wild
ow. 100000 was left to the House of Refuge
of this city; $4,000 to the Orphan Asylum
and 100000 to the Pennsylvania Deaf and
Dumb Institute. The balance was donated to
different Episcopal churches, societies, &C.
The N. Y. Express, OF yesterday, states that
Mrs. Kohne is dead, and, consequently, that
her death throws the whole of these munifcent
requests into the hands of those for whom
they were intended by their bestower. This
is mistake. We understand that Mrs. Kohne
still lives in this city, and so far from being
dead, she is at the present time in the enjoy.
ment OF excellent health and spirits.

have planted immense fields of corn-to the

Marsellles Hymn.-M. de Lamartine, in his
Historic des Girondins, just published in Paris,
gives the following account of the origin of
the French national air, &C The Marseillaise."
In the garrison of Strasburg was quartered
young artillery officer, named Rougetde Isle.
a native of Louis lie Saulnier, in the Jura. He
had great taste for music and poetry, and Of
ten entertained his comrades during their long
and tedious hours in garrison. Sought after
for his musical and poetical talent, he was
frequent and familiar guest at the house of
one Dietrich, an Alsatian patriot, mayor of
Strasburg. The winter of 1882 was period
of great scarcity at Strasburg. The house of
Dietrich was poor, his table was fruga', but
seat was always open to Rouget de Lisle.-
One day, when there was nothing but bread
and some slices of smoked ham on the table.
Dietrich, regarding the young officer, said to
him, with sad serenity &c Abundance fails at
our boards; but what matters that if enthusi-
asm fails not at our civic fetes, nor courage in
the hearts of our soldiers? have still last
bottle of wi e in my cellar. Bring it, said
he to one of his daughters "and let us drink
France and liberty. Strasburg should soon
have its patriotic soemnity. De Lisle must
draw from these last drops one of those hymns
which ra:se the soul of the people"
The wine was brought and drank, after
which the officer departed. The night was
cold. De Lisle was thoughtful. His heart
was moved, his head heated. He returned
staggering to his solitary room and slowly
sought inspiration, sometimes in the fervor OF
his citizen soul, and anon on the keys of his
instrument, composing now the air before the
words, and then the words before the air.
He sang all and wrote nothing, and at
last, exhausted, fell asleep with his head
resting on his instrument, and awoke not
| till day-break. Themusic of the night
returned to his mind like the impression
of a dream. He wrote it, and ran to Dietrich,
whom he found in the garden digging winter
lettuces. The wife and daughters of the old
man were not yet up. Dietrich awoke them
and called in some friends, all as passionate as
himself for music and able to execute the COM
position of De Lisle. At the first stanza
cheeks grew pale; at the second tears flow
ed; and at the last the delrinm of enthusiasm
burst forth. The wife of Dietrich, his daugh-
tiers, himself, and the young officer, threw
themselves crying, into each others arms
The hymn of the country was found. Exc
cuted some days afterwards in the Strasburg,
the new song flew from city to city, and was
played by all the popular orchestras. Mar
settles adopted it to be sung at the commence
ment of the sittings of it's clubs; and the Mar
seillaises spread it through France, singing il
along the public roads. From this came the
name of {" Marseillaise'

FOR WHAT Is A MOTHER RESPONSE

She is responsible for the nursing and rear
ing of her progeny, for their physical consti-
tuition and growth; their exercise and proper
sustenance in early life. Achild left to grow
up deformed or meagre, is an object of mater
nal negligence. She is responsible for child's
habits, including cleanliness, order, converse
ton, eating, sleeping, and general propriety of
behavior. A child deficient, or untaught in
these particulars, will prove living monu-
ment OF parental disregard-because generally
speaking, a mother can, if she will, greatly
control children in these matters.
She IS responsible for their department.
She can make them fearful and cringing, she
can make them modest or impairment, inge-
nuous or deceltful, mean or manly, clownlsh
or polite The germ of all these things is in
childhood, and mother can repress or bring
them forth.
She is responsible for principles which hel
children entertain in early life. For her it is
to say, whether those who go forth from hel
fireside shall be imbued with sentiments Of
virtue, truth, honor, honesty, temperance, in
dustrv, benevolence and morally, or those of {
contrary character-vice, fraud, drunkenness
idleness, covetousness. These will be tounc
to be of the most natural growth; but on he
is devolyed the daily, hourly task, of wedding
her little garden-of eradicating those odiou'
productions, and planting the human heart
with the lily, the rose and the amaranth, tina
fadeless flower, emblem of truth.
She is to very considerable extent respon
sible for the temper and disposition of he
children. Constitutionally they may be VIC
lent, irritable, or revengeful, but for the regu
lation or correction of these passions, moth
er is responsible for the intellectual acquire
ments of children that is, she is bound to dc
what she can for this object. Schools, Acad
emies, and Colleges open their portals through
out our land and every mother is under heavy
responsibilities, to see that her sons and daugh
tiers have all the benefits which these afford
and which their circumstances will permi
them to enjoy.
She is responsible for their religious educa
ton. The beginning of all wisdom is The fea
OF God; and this every mother is capable, tt
greater or less degree, of infusing into TIT
minds of her offspring.

THE PORTSMOUTH ROAD.

We understand that the Boston Capitalists,
who purchased the Portsmouth Road month
or two since, have sold out to another Com
panv. and that the idea of improving that Road
and forming a connection between it and the
RALEIGH and CASTOR Road, has been abandon
ed. These facts have come to us only in The
form of rumor, and therefore we dc not vouch
fer their correctness.
Should they, however, turn out to be true,
the result will be that our communications
with Petersburg alone will have to continue,
and that the prospect of an extension South
from this place, will be to some extent obscu-
red. We relied, in great degree, upon the
energy and foresight of these Boston Capital
lists, not only for a connection with Portsmouth
and Norfolk, but for continuation of the line
to Camden but under this new view of the
case, with the Portsmouth Road sold out, and
the idea of improving and extending it aban-
doned with the Raleigh and CASTOR Road in
a constantly failing condition, and with but
little disposition among our citizens generally
to undertake, with their own means alone, any
further Improvements, we confess we see but
little hope at present for the success of the
Metropolitan line. That there M be, and at
no distant day, line through the State, uni
ting the great routes of the North and South,
and commanding the travel of the interior, we
have no doubt; and just now, we have no
hesitation in saying, fortune seems to sit upon
the Manchester line. At any rate, while il
is but natural that we should desire to see our
own section prosper, and would prefer the
route which might promise to make Raleigh a
depot of trade and a thoroughfare of travel

be at all favorable, every farthing of their
debts will be promptly paid. The surplus eS-
hibited is very large, and it would take Sc
res of serious losses to make the concern

have been protested for non acceptance, which

aspirations are now quenched in the grave.
Though doomed himself, with his brave COM
