 A most touching case, illustrative of conjugal love, occurred at our wharf a few days since. A man and his wife were coming up the river, when the hus5an took sick and was SUD- posed to have died. When they ar rived al this city, the wife had coffin purchased, and her husband was de. posted in that last home of the dead. Just before the moment of closing the coffin, however, and the final in- torment of the deceased, the bereaved and agonised wife insisted upon once more looking upon and embracing the cold remains of the deceased part ner of her bosom. Whether it was her warm embrace or returning con- sciousness, certain it is, that the SUD- posed corpse suddenly evinced signs of life, and, the proper restoralives being applied, within 24 hours the in- valid was enabled to proceeded on his journey, with every prospect of a speedy recovery, owing his life to the untiring devotion and love of his true and faithful wife.-Memphis Appeal, 29th uh

Fourteen miles east of PlacervilIe,

Fourteen miles east of Placerville, stood one of those immense trees known in California as the Fremont or Sugar Pine. In circumference, two feet from the ground, it measur- ed twefty-nine feet or nine feet four inches in diameter. It was chopped off only two feet from the ground, as there was no apparent diminution in size for fifty feet upward. As many men as could work around il chopped it off in two days. Ii made, in all, two hundred and sixty five thousand shingles. At twelve dollars per thousand, the price they brought at the stump, we have no less a sum than $3lS0 for shingles alone, besides stakes, rails and fence posts. The entire length of the tree was two hundred and thirty feet.

THE LAST PRoPosITIoN.-A gen tleman ot Iowa proposes to keep cit ies free from thunder storms "for so much per year." To most people this offer will appear preposterous, and yet it is moi. We have no doubt whatever that an outlay of $l0,OO0 would keep New York as insulated as glass table with sealing wax legs. What a gentleman in Iowa proposes to do for us has already been done for the vine growers of the south of France. By means of a we'll arran- ged system of lighting rods a whole district has been rendered inaccessi- be to those destrutive hail storms which so frequently follow in ihe train of thunder showers. What has been done in France can be done elsewhere. If we can teach lightning to write, we can teach it to behave it. self.-L0UeU Courier.

 MR. EDIToR:-Our post has had some little excitment in and around 1t during the past week, by the capture and confinement in the "guard house. of seven Cherokees, desperate and dangerousc characters.
 It appears that Col. Capron, Indian agent for the removal of the various wild tribes out of Texas, met with some opposition from those he had collected and was removing, when near Red river, 40 miles from this post, he sent for assistance in carrying out his object and made requistion upon Major Holmes, commanding officer here.
 Mai. H. Immediately dispatched, about dark, or the Doth inst, de- tachment of ter men of his company mounted on qlarter masters horses and mules, under command of Lieut.. Pierce, as determined and brave a young officer as could be assigned to any similar duty.
 It. P. arrived at Col. Capron's camp, near Red river, in the nation early next morning; after remaining there day and performing such duty as was rquired of him, he was return ing to his post, when about midnight he was overtaken by an express from Col. Capron to return at once-that a party of Cherokees had come into his camp that evening, much under the influence of liquor, and had large quantity oft with them in kegs.
 They threatened the life of Col. C.. by drawning heir pistols and guns upon him and his party, and encamped within fifty yards of the Colonel's camp threatening defiance to all who made opposition to their movements, and the military in particular.
 Much to the surprise of the Chero- kee party. It Pierce returned to the neighborhood of their camp about day light and wih proper precaution and good management, surrounded their camp; after fastening the soldiers horses some little distance of, It. P. approaching cautiously with his men, throwing then in between the Chero- kee horses ald the Cherokees, who were just then preparing to make an early start, and before any of the par ty had time o fly to their horses or gun, the whde Cherokee party were captured and ted. They were brought into this post, and here confined until yesterday, whm they were sent to the Marshal of Arkansas, with small de- tachement of nen under command of It. Henry. This brave and gallant officer will wach closely their move ments until he makes a safe deposit of them in the hands of the Marshal.
 It is reported that some of the seven of the captured party are of very des- perate characters, murderers; and that there is now large reward offered for them by the Cherokee Nation.

THE LATE ELECTIONS have nothing yet positively reliable respect ing the result of the election in Tenn. The contest for Congress in the Mem phis District is very close,-some re- ports giving Stanton majority of three or four, and others claiming like ma- jority for Yerger.
 In Kentucky, there were six Wings and four democrats elected to Congress, being Whig gain of one. We re- gret exceedingly to say that the old veteran, Letcher, was defeated in the Ashland District.

Prof. Mcdowell.

This distinguished gentleman deliv-
 livered very able lecture on the sub-
 iect of Railroads in general, / at the
 Court house, on Friday evening. His
 principal efforts, however, appeared to
 be directed to impress upon the people ofthe Mississippi Valley the importance
 of entering into general system of
 Internal Improvements. He said, and
 truly too, that the people of the Missis-
 sippl Valley pay their millions yearly
 to the more entreprising citizens of the
 North eastern States. This is a mel
 ancholy truth. We pay tribute to the
 the north, and they, in return, abuse
 us and our institutions. We look to them for money, for books, and for nearly every important article of trade. They have charge of the education oe our children; and, in fact, to use a common phrase, they have us ''under their thumb.' This is a matter with which the people of the South can just ly reproach themselves. IL was never designed by the God of Nature that the rich Valley of the Mississippi should pay tribute to the barren hills of the North. The cause is to be found in the unpardonable lethargy of ourselves.
 What is there to prevent us from build ing Railroads, and cutting canals; from building factories and machine shops? What prevents us from founding and endowing colleges and institutions for the instruction of our children, instead of sending them, as we now do, to the Northern States, thereby placing them beyond the pale of parental advice and control, to say nothing of the heavy expenses incurred, over and above the amount that the same instruction could be given for at home? It is to be hoped that Southerners will wake up, take the necessary steps to bring about the much desired change in our internal policy. We have the ability-all that we need is the inclination; if we say we ciN, the thing is done.
 The doctor appeared to be well pos ted up in regard to the geography of the country westward to the Pacific. He said that a Railroad by the North ern route to the Pacific is thing im- practicable; he speaks of it as if it were a chimera of the diseased imagination of old Bullion. He said (and in that we fully concur) "That nature formed Helena for the terminus of the great Pacific Railroad'' He said that this great thoroughfare will, from necessity, pass through portion of Mexican tor ntory; he expected we would have to maui the right of way out of Santa Anna; he thought we ought to have kept all of Mexico when we had it, We do not know so well about the ius tlce of that position, there is but one way to reconcile 1t, and that is upon the principle that ''might is rigAt.n We think 1t more than probable, how ever, that we will take the balance right or wrong. It is one of the char acteristics of the Anglo Saxons, if YOU give them an inch they'll take an ell.
