EXCITING SCENE.-A Washington CORES
rOndent of the n Y Tribune, gives the fol-
lowing incident in the Representative career
of Joshua r. Giddngs
We must give orc scene in the Old Hall
more in detail We write from recollection
In lS40, the Indian Appropriation bill was
under consideration in Committee Of the Whole
Mr.. GiddngS attacked an item which proposed
to pay the State of Georgia for certain runa-
way slaves who had found shelter among the
Creek Indians. Mr.. Black, of Georgia. re
piled in grossly foul personal assault upon
Giddings Amid much excitement, Giddings
standing in the Side-aiSle at the left Of the
Chair was responding with great severity to
this attack Black armed with a pistol and
heavy Swordcane, and followed by three or
four Southern Members Zone of whom is now
distinguished Senator crossed the hall, and
coming within striking distance of Giddings,
said, Repeat those words and III knock v0u
down. y He repeated the words and went on
with lis speech At that moment Mr. Daw-
son of Louisiana, rushed to the spot, cooked
his pistol and shouted. "IIl shoot him by
Cd, I'll shoot him ~ The peril of Giddngs
was imminent Qnck as thought, Mr. Causne
of Maryland, his hand on his pistol Icaped i'll
to the aisle between Black and Giddings, to
defend the latter Kenneth Rayncr, of North
Carolina, also armed, took a position at the
left hand Of Giddings Charles Hudson. of
Massachusetts, planted himself on the right :;
while Solomon Foot, of Vermont, now in the
Senate, stood Immediately behind him, to pre-
vent an assault from that quarter. And there,
surrounded by CauSine and Rayncr of the
SOuth and Hudson and Foot of tho North
with Black, Dawson, and other armed and in
cenSed men in front, stood Giddmgs, his head
towering above the crowd, delivering his speech
with great vigOr and entire selfposseSSiOn, and
never, from the beginning TO the close of the
melee, losing the thread of his subject except
when, as Black approached him, he hurled at
him the defiance, " Come on ! the People of
Ohio don't send CowardS here :"

CONDOLENCES Grimes and casualties run
in series, in human affairs, inst the same Us
fashions or disorders rage. If man commits
suicide by hanging, other cases Of the same
kind are sure to follow before long, in the same
community SO if a railroad train breaks
through n bridge, destroying life and property,
other trains will soon break through other
bridges, with like results. Three children at
birth make their appearance in some part of
the country, and straghtway other tripletS are
issued by enterprising mothers in various To-
CaIitieS. A steamboat runs its nose into the
side of another, smashing in planks and tim
berS and before the sheets are dry upon
which the account of the accident is printed,
other collisions take place in other parts of the
country. Sometimes q woman poisons her
husband and then husband poisoning becomes
the prevailing form Of homicide for awhile, to
be superseded in its turn by some other class
of murder, which will have a similar run Once
upon q time a man assembled to the top Of q
high monument in one Of the public squares of
Paris, and threw himself headong to the
ground, thus finishing his mortal career. Upon
that every Partisan who was weary Of life,
adopted the monument as the road to eternity,
until, at length, suicides by leaping from the
monument top, became so common, that the
city authorities were obliged to shut up the
access to the stairway, in order 10 prevent the
alarming spread of the mania And finally
somebody's goOd-natured friends got together
aud marched in procession to his house, laden
with all sorts of valuable gifts and surprised
him with q bountiful present. After this for
month to come, nothing is heard of but sur
prise parties, surprising ali kinds of persons
with all kinds of presents. of which the sur
priscd re ,ipiectS are usually the planners and
payers for the costly articles which are beStoW-
ed. Verify, like the Pharisces of DID, "they
have their reward" for is it not noticed in the
papers? The moral of all this may be found
in the story of the tailor who laid down under
the trees to Sleep while carrying a bundle of
caps to market, having first put one on his
head in lien of a nght-cap. A gang of mon
keys stole his caps while he slept, and fed TO
the tree-tops each one initiating the owner 10y
putting one on his head Upon awakening,
the man saw that all his caps were lost to him.
and in despair of recovering them from the
high trees, he tore his own cap from his head,
and dashed it to the earth Forthwith all the
initiative animals followed suit, by throwing
their caps to the ground, and the tailor thus
recovered his property.

QUESTIONS ANswERED.-The Washington
St0f,s, a sort of DoUGLAs organ, does not like
the FoENEY Independent movement in this
State, and propOunus the following questions
as to what its friends intend to do -
l. " Do they mediate apostacy to the OPP
position ?"
l. Are they resolved to adhere in good
faith to the Democratic party ,"
8. Do they pledge themselves to support
the nominations Of the Charleston Conven-
tion p"
The Philadelphia Press replies to the first
and second questions by saying that they re-
gard the organization formed on the 18th as
the only organization the Democratic party has,
and that they intend to adhere to it. To the
third it replies
q If the nominees Of the Charleston Con-
vcntion shall be the representatives OF the
principle of non-intervention and popular SOW
creiguty. as accepted, advocated and under
stood in 1886, as explained and defended in
in 1858 by Stephen A Douglas and his as.
SociateS, and as applied 10y leading Southern
statesmen, then do we pledge ourselves to sup
port the nominees of that Convention with all
zeal. But if, on the other hand, that Conven-
ton shall be committed, in any shape, to tho
theory so cloquently denounced by the States
that this government is to be dedicated to
the propagation Of slavery then we shall un-
qucstionaGly oppose It's nominees"

The Peach TREE-ThiS tree is q native Of
Persia, and has been cultivated in Asia and in
the south of Europe from time immcmm0ral
LlnneuS divides the peach into two varieties.
the true peach and the ncctnrine-the one
! separates freely from the stone, and the other
does not, and is generally designated as the
cllDgStone. There are several varieties Of these
two divisions, and have smooth end some rough
skins and there arc instances on record of
peaches and nectarineS occurring on the same
branch. 1t was introduced by the earliest
coonists and found well adapted for our soil
aud climate. A change however, has come
over the peach during the last twenty years
it does not seem to be SO hardy nor so long
lived as formerly it is subject TO unfavorahle
atmospheric influences and also 10 the attacks
Of insects which soon diminish its productive
power and shorten its days The cause of
this is not well understood, and q preventive
FOR its rapid decay has not yet been discovered.
During the past two years the peach crop has
been an entire failure both in quantity and
quality, aud large peach orchards in various
sections of our country, once yielding good
and abundant crops, are now blasted and bar
rem. \ discovery which would restore this
luscious fruit-bearer to its former vigor and
fruitfulness would be of incaculable import
ance. As this season Of the year-entering
upon sprlng-we urge our horticulturistS to
give this subject that attention which it de-
serves.
AS peach trees blossom early in the season,
they are subject to injury from late frosts
this was the case in many districts in 1858
Dwarf trees may bc protected from such frosts
by netting laid over them, but it would be too
expensive thus to cover large trees The small
grcen-ly and mi!dew often attack peach trees,
and very few persons to try remedy this evil,
although tobacco and sulphur is perfect cure.
Take pound of tobacco and pour FIVE gal
Ions of Boiling water upon it, pour off the
clear, and stir in two pOnnds of sulphur
When cold, apply it to the trees with syringe
or a garden-engne in the evening, then show
er the trees next morning with soft water
Such applications may be required twice a
week Tor three weeks before the cure is fully ef-
f,ct.d, but by perseverance the desired result
will be secured. Most farmers seem to act
upon the principle that if their fruit trees do
not take care of themselves, they may die if
they choose. This is not the feeling, for cult
waiting peach trees, at least Some strenuous
efforts should be made to restore this tree to
the condition and character which it once
possessed.

EXHAUSTION or TAEK.-How long the lamp
of conversation holds ont to burn, between two
persons only is curionSly set down in the fol-
lowing passage from C0lnt Goafaioner's ac-
count of his mpriSOumeyt:
Fifteen years | existed in a dungeon ten
feet square During six years | had COM
pauiOn during nine was alone Ineyer could
rightly distinguish the face Of him who shared
my captivity in the eternal twilight of our cell
The first year we talked necessarily together :;
we related onr past lives our joys forever gone
over and over again. The next year commu-
nicated to each other our thoughts and ideas on
all subjects The third year we had no ideas
to communicate we were beginning to lose
the power Of reflection. The fourth, at the
interval of month or So, we would open our
lips to ask each other if it were possible that
the world went on as gay aud huStling as when
we formed portion OF mankind. The fifth we
were silent. The sixth ne was taken away
| never knew where, to execution or liberty
But was glad when he was gone even SOL
itude was better than the pale, vacant face
One day Git must have been a year or two after
my companion left me, : the dungeon door was
opened, whence proceeding | knew not the fol-
lowing words were uttered - BY order of his
Imperial Ma jeSty, intimate to YOU that your
wife died a year ago Then the door was shut

MOVEMENTS OF THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH
CoMPANY.-We are informed that negotiations
between the English government, the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, and the New York, New
foundIand and London Telegraph Company,
have reached point which admits of no doubt
about the governments guaranty of eight per
cent. on the six hundred thousand pounds
capital being accepted. In view of this fact
as we learn from the same reliable source, the
Atlantic Company are actively engaged in
making the most thorough tests Of the various
kinds of cable adapted to the Atlantic line,
and will be prepared to enter into the neces-
sary contracts at an early day. In the mean
time the Company have decided to expend a
sum not exceeding one hundred thousand dol
lars to resuscitate the present cable, and active
operations to this end will be commenced as
soon as the weather will admit
The heavy battery of Mr.. Henley, which
arrived at st. Johns, n F., late last fall, has
not yet been sent to the telegraph station at
Trinity Bay, owing to the ice, but will be in
position within the next few weeks or days
The Atlantic Company will not attempt to
lay the new cable until July Of next year.

A PATTERN SMOKING CARA new smoking
car has been put on the route between New
York and Boston on the New Haven Railroad
1t is Illuminated with gas and has several small
tables, round and paralIelogram, shaped for
reading, as may suit the traveller. The up
holstering is suitable for the car and cannot
be easily soiled. A gasmeter holding fifty feet
of gas is located under the centre of the car,
the meter being situated under a forward seat
entirely out of the wav. There are nineteen
ventilators, some of new patterns, so that a
dozen smokers may puff away, but while the
air is not burdened by the fumes of the weed
The car rests upon twenty-eight india rubber
springs, rendering it unusually easy as regards
motion and jolting The exterior is handsome
ly painted, the corners are decorated by paint
ings of smokers, and the ends bear the title of
Smoking Car" in large letters The com
pany intend using gas in all their cars soon.

ny CHARLES WILLIAM BUTLER.
,ngels guard the sainted dead
LET them rest from toll and care
With the blue sky overhead,
And the breath of Gods free air,
lot them rest where light and shade,
And earth's changes come and go;
They have seen its visions fade.
They have left its pomp and show.
Angels guard the sainted dead
Not alone from heavenly skies.
Bot the souls they cOmforted
In this world of sacrifice.
Grateful hands plant willows there;
Buds that spring time gave, shall bloom.
And the summer noOn-tide fair
Glorifes their peaceful tomb.
Angels guard the sainted dead
Memory loves to view the spot
Where their living presence shed
Blessings on our earthly lot.
Then the graves wherein they rest
Shall not more the spirit view
From the mansions of the ble.t
Clean the faces O!d and true.
Angels guard the ssinted dead
This the voice that sounds for aye,
When our tears of grief are shed
Ger earths loved ones passed away.
This with time nor change departs
Blessed the dying with the Lord
Blessed are they who leave on hearts
Loves eternal written word.
Angels guard the sainted dead
Then the deep Cimmerian glooms
Cannot ill our souls with dread
There are watchers around the tombs,
And they beckon US to come
When the chilling death-wind blows,
when We make our journey home,
They will guard our sweet repose.
