A DARING RUNAwAY.-A few weeks
since, Mr.. Core, a planter of Fayetie
county, was in one of his fields, some
distance from his residence, when he
perceived approaching him from the
woods, stout, able bodied negro man.
Nr. C. awaited his approach. thinking
he belonged TO one Of his neighbors, and
had been sent upon some errand. pe
came boldly up 10 Mr.. c., and accosted
him thus:
"Your name is Mr.. Core; | am a run
away and have long wished 10 have a
conversation with you | do not fear
being apprehended-I am well armed
exhibiting to Mr. C. splendid brace oil
pistols and bowie knife)-but have
long wanted to see You. In the first
place, wish 10 pay you, as your ne
groes have been feeding me for several
months, and have a plenty of money,
(pulling out Of his pocket, as he spoke,
large roll of bank notes, and assure
you never murdered any man TO get it.
! got il by robbing houses in Memphis
-(naming many houses here, and ex-
hibiting TO Mr.. c. large bunch of false
keys.)
Mr.. C., doubling the propriety of at
tempting TO arrest him, as he was alone,
concluded he would question him about
two runaways who had been gone some
time, and asked the negro if he knew
them. ard when he had seen them. The
negro promptly replied that he did know
them, and volunteered TO assist Mr.. C.
in arresting them, and tod him if he
would meet him alone at the same place
the next day. he would carry him where
he could arrest both The negroes, as they
had been very troublesome TO him, and
he wanted 10 get rid of them.
Mr.. C. promised to meet him at the
place and time appointed, but instead of
going alone, he took with him his over
seer and another young man, and Sc
creted them, armed with double barrell-
ed guns, in the vicinity OF the place of
meeting. At the appointed time, the
runaway made his appearance, but, in.
stead of finding Mr.. G alone, found the
two gentlemen with their guns leVeled
upon him. He at once surrendered,
and gave up his weapons. begging them
not 10 tie him, as he wanted to be taken,
and was tired of staying out, having
been in the woods near FIVE Years; that
he belonged 10 gentleman in Alabama;
and that he would still go with them and
show them the two negroes, as he had
promised.
They concluded to trust him, and all
four proceeded in company TO an old,
deserted cabin, hard BY. Upon ap-
preaching the cabin, our hero informed
his caplors that the two negroes were in
it-that there was but one door and no
window--that if they would suffer him
10 approach the cabin first, as soon as he
entered the door they might close up,
and thus capture them with his assis-
lance. They agreed TO this plan, and
he proceeded cautiously toward The cab
in, and, as he entered he door, beckon.
ed to them to rush up. They did so.
but 10 and behold they perceived back
window, through which their prisoner
had jumped, and, mounting The over
seer's horse, made good his escape.

IMPORTANT TO MoruERs AND Nun

IMPORTANT TO MOTHERS AND MUIR
sEs.-Having heard of an important
discovery, made some years ago, OF a
ready mode Of silencing squalIing
children, ! lately, on board of a car,
on my way from Newark TO this
city, embraced an opportunity of
testing its virtues with the most sat-
isfactory result, upon one of the loud
est and most incorrigible little squal-
lers, think, that ever shocked nv
weak nerves. The process is very
simple one--all | did was TO press
one finger gently and repeatedly
across the cartilage of the child's
nose, and in less than a minute, TO
the great amusement OF the passen-
gers, il was sound asleep. Believing
so desirable piece OF information
should be generally known, | have
concluded TO give it publicity.

BLACK Hawks OPINION OF GEN.
Scorr.-Next to Tecumseh, Black
Hawk was probably the s.keenest,
most sagacious, and most intellectual
Indian CHIEF that ever lived in this
country. Gen. Scott was sent al
the head of an army against his
nation, and the chief had the best
opportunity Of forming a correct
opinion oi his distinguished foe.-
The following is from the Life oI
Black Hawk, dictated by himsell
and published at Boston in 1884,
Is years ago:
| have a good opinioD-of the
American war G.uiess generally with
~ | am acquainted; and my
people, who had an opportunity ol
seeing and becoming well acquainted
with the great war chief (Gen. Win
field Scott, who made the last treaty
with them, in conjunction with the
great chief OF Illinois Governor
ReynoIds). all tell me that he is the
greatest braue they ever saw, aud a
good man-one who fulflls all his
promises. Our braves speak more
highly OF him than any chief who
has ever been among us. Whatever
he says may be depended upon. If
he had been our Great Father, we
never would have been compelled to
join The British in the late war with
America. And ! have thought that,
as our Great Father is changed
every few years, his children would
do well 10 put this great war-chief
in his place, as they cannot find a
better chief for a Great Father any
where.
Gen. Scott was sent against Black
Hawk, and he won that chiefs con>
fidence and admiration. He was
sent TO queIl, il necessary, rebellion
in South Carolina, and he has won
the deepest regard ard effeciion OF
the rebels themselves. He was sent
10 conquer Mexico, and he won so
entirely the love and the reverence
OF the Mexicans that they offered
him million and a half Of dollars
to accept The Presidency of their
Republic.
Fellow-countrymen, are not these
things eminently honorable TO the
great man who is a candidate for
your suffrages?--LOu. Journal.

that when he sta, ted his foundry
here, some thirty years ago, he got
his pig iron from Rocky Fork Fur

of expense. He says that iron is
