PISTOL AND KNIFE. We learn from a friend
just down from Talladega, that few days
since, in Jacksonville, Benton county, deadly
assault was made by Mr.. Wood, Of Wetumpka,
on Gen. R. G Earle, of the former place. Wood
shot Earle first with pistol, the ball penetrat-
ing the back Of the neck and then ranging up
ward between the skin and skull The wounded
man fell forward to the floor, with the chair on
which he had been sitting. partially covering
his back Wood then drew his knife and cut
Earle while the blade lasted, inf1icting many
wounds about the head and finally breaking off
the blade in the skull We did not learn whe-
ther the wounds were likely to prove mortal
Mr.. Wood was recognized in $500 to answer the
charge before the circuit court, 1t is alleged
that Mr. Wood had the strongest provocation
possible to take the life of Gen. Earle. A young
lady related nearly to him was carried away
from Jacksonville where, we believe, she had
been residing in the family of Gen. Earle; and
the last heard Of her was at Charleston. 1t was
unprecedented not doubted-that there were
the strongest motives on the part of Earle thus
| to remove her from where she was well known.
Gen Earle has been quite prominent in East
| Alabama for some years; has been a candidate
| for Congress in the old Seventh District; was q
prominent member of the Baptist church; and
had considerable popularity from having done
| service in the war with Mexico. As is most
natural, the sympathies of the public are with

BIRTHpLACEs OF THE CHIEF BRITISH OFFICERS
ABOUT TO ACT AGAINST RUssIA.--We learn from
the London Civil Service Gazette, that of the
five officers who are to command divisions, all
are of different sbirth--a Scotchman, o Hano-
verian, an Irishman, Canadian, and an Eng
lishman--thus, Sir George Brown is native of
Linkwood, near Elgin, the Duke of Cambridge
was born at Herenhausen, in Hanover, Sir De-
Lacy Eyansis native of Moig, in Ireland, Sir
Richard England, q native of Detroit in Upper
Canada, and the Earl of Lucan is the only Eng
lishman of that rank he is to command the
cavalry, and lisa Londoner by birth, though Of
course an lrishman by descent So also it is
remarkable with respect to the fleets how the
two highest in command are not Englishmen
Sir Charles Napier was born near New Falkirk,
in Scotland, and Admiral Dundas, at Calcutta,
though he also is a Scotchman by descent
Among the eleven Brigadiers General, it is in
teresting to observe H. J. Bentinck English, J
of Dutch origin on both sdes-his mother hav-
ing been DeReede DeGinkle, Sir Colin and
Sir John Campbell of Scotch blood, Colonel PEN
nefather, a &c Tipperary boy, . Col. Yorke Scar
lett, of Jamaican descent, while J. B. B. Es-
court is a Londoner, born near Portman square,
and Lord Cardigan, a native of Hambledon
leaving only four unaccounted for, and Of these
H. W Adams is probably a native of Warwick
shire, since he is head of an old family in that
county. William Eyr is probably Of Noting.

and double medium, "a by SO inches.
Printing paper is bought and sold by
the pound, the price varying according
to quality, from ten cents to sixteen cents
for the paper commonly used for such
purposes.
When the sheet of paper Of which a
book is made is folded in two leaves,
the book is called a folio; when folded
into four leaves it is called quarto; when
folded into eight leaves it is called oeta-
70; when folded into twelve leaves, a
duodecimo or l2mo; when folded into
sixteen leaves, a l6mo; when folded In
