HG- A striking instance of the certainty
which, sooner or later, never fails to follow
upon the commission of murder, came to our
knowledge yesterday. It seems that little
over twenty four years ago, nan named G. b
Ivey, residing in Roane County East Tonnes
see conceived dislike to sister-in law resi-
ding in that county, and murdered her in de-
lberate and cold -blooded manner. He was ar
rested for the crime, tried convicted, but ow-
ing to some palhating circumstance connected
with the affair, instead of being executed was
sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Shortly
after his incarceration in Jail, however, he eff
fected his escape and made his way to Arkan-
sas, where he settled on the Arkansas river
and resided up to within few weeks past
During his residence in Arkansas period of
some twenty -four years-hc married a highly
respectable lady of that State, became a father
of family, the owner of large plantation
and was houored by his fellow citizens with
the post of magistrate for term of ten years,
and the duties of which position he discharged
with fidelity and to the general acceptance of
tho citizens He also was connected with and
for years was leading member of one of the
prominent Christian denominations of the day.
Surrounded by his family, possessed of an
abundance of this worlds goods, and enjoying
the esteem and confidence of his neighbors
and large circle of friends, he lived in fan
cied security, having long since ceased to fear
that the hand of justice would trace him to
his far-removed position from the scene of the
murder he had committed. But the appear
ance at his home about two weeks since, of an
officer, armed with requisition from tie Gov
ernor of the State whose laws he had outraged,
at once and forever dissipated all his assuran-
ces of safety, and without resistance he yielded
himself up to the officials custody. He ar
rived in this city last evening, in charge of the
person who traced it out, and will be conveyed
at once to Roane county, taking to-days train
on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad

p<A- A few years ago, batchet-faccd, hound
dog looking individual strayed into alittle town
on the kennebec river, in the State of Maine,
and commenced "one horse" newspaper, de.
signed to black mail the inhabitants. A littlo
morceau of scandal had just been whisperedin
certain circles in regard to one of the finest
country girls in the vicinity. The "editor'
could not resist the temptation to tospeculate so
he sent word that the parties had better call
and compromise, or he would "blow the thing"
The next morning one of the most blooming
and accomplished young women anywhere to
be met, called at the "sanctun," and inquired
for the editor. "Pm the individual you want,
I expect" said the hungry knight of the quill,
bowling his cadaverous body almost to the earth.
s'Will you please to walk down stairs? You
said you wished to see us about that matter"
Rushing in eager haste to the foot of the steps,
he found himself in immediate contact with
long legged, long armed, overgrown and most
ferocious looking ''down-easter."
care YOU related to this girl 2" said the
amazed editor, his frame trembling ike an as
pen leaf
.No, but We fight on general account for the
women up here, and. I've come over to clean
out this shop"
A precipitate retreat was of course immedi-
ately attempted, but in vain. The "doNn-east-
err got the editor down, promising to pound
him "until the woman should say enough."-
The young lady stood by until the editors
identity was no longer traceable, when she
brought the matter to close by coolly remark
ing:
SsYou needn't kill him if he'll stop that pa
per y
Comments unnecessary; theeditor got en'his
knees and apologized to the lady, and pronis-
ed to close his literary labo-s in Maine at once.
The next day found him moving with immense
velocity to fairer and more liberal climes.

THE FACULTY THAT MAKES GREAT MEN.
Louis Napoleon said in his great proclama-
ton to the Italians, eff there are men who do
not comprehend their epoch, I am not of the
number" There is startling degree OF au,
dacity in man saying such thing of him
self but, ifever any man could afford to sayit it
is Napoleon the Third. His career has justi-
fed it. 1t is that special faculty of compre-
lending his epoch which has made him what
he is, and crowned all his efforts with such
brilliant success. It was because his uncle did
not possess this faculty, that he lost his throne
and died prisonerin ST. Helena. Every man
who achieves great success in life, does it by
virtue of comprehending his epoch, by adapt
ing his means to the exegencies of his position,
and of giving the world what it demands, in
stead of demanding what it will not give
Washington, Jefferson and Franklin were the
men who comprehended their epoch, and hence
t.,eir success. These are the great examples
which loom up in the worlds eyes but what
is true of tt EN- in great degree is equally
true of those who succeed in inferior positions
To comprehend your epoch" comprehends all
that need be said about success in business
whether the business be that of ruling nations
or selling dry goods.

BEWARE OF EvIL-Let no man say, when
he thinks of the drunkard, broken in health
and spoiled of intellect; I can never SO fall
He thought as little of falling in his earliest
years. The promise of his youth was bright
as yours, and even after his downward course
he was as unsuspicous as the frmest around
him, and would repel as indignantly, the admo-
milton to beware of inten1perance. The danger
of this vice lies in its almost imperceptible ap-
proach. Youth does not suspect drunkenness
in the sparkling beverage, which quickens all
its susceptibilities of joy. The invalid does
not see it in the cordial which gives new tone
to his dilapidated organs. The man of Thought
and genius detects no palsying poison in the
draught which seems a spring of inspiration to
intellect and imagination. The lover of social
pleasure little dreams that the glass which an
imates conversation, will sink him too low for
the intercourse in which he now delights. In
temperance comes with noiscless steps, and
binds the first touch with cord too light to
be felt This truth of mournful experience
should be treasured by all, and should infu-
ence the arguments of social and domestic life
in every class of community.-Dr. Charming.

as shedding light upon the feelings and intentions
Of the Italian people az this crisis
At this moment the engineer officer tt. in .
short but meaning speech, in which he recoanted
the chief exploits Of our hero, proposed his health
and Garibaldi, after returning his warMest thanks
continued as follows: You have Just reeounted nv
history, and it is my part to tell you how proud
and happy am again to find myself among this
brave people, Of whose courage and attachment
have experienced 50 many proofs. / repeat to
you that to the last moment Of my existence I
shall be devoted, body and soul, to my country.
For fourteen years. without pay or reward, have
served the cause of liberty in foreign lands. What
then, will not do for the land Of my birth Events
are progressing tavorably but there is much to be
done. The day is come when Italy is to regain its
complete independence. This time it mnst be ac-
complshcd, and from the Alps to Sicily she must
be free. Mr.
Providence has given us the man We needed to
keep together. It is round Victor Emanuel
that we must rally to repulse the stranger from
our soil. We will no longer bear the foreign yoke.
Let him but retire and leave us to enjoy our pos
sessions in peace, and we will at once welcome
him as friend; but SO long as he desires to SUBJ
ject us to his dominion, he has nothing to expect
from us but the fire Of our artillery. II Is only by
union and force that we shall obtain our freedom.
When we can attain strength, believe me no one
will dare to attack u.s. Before everything, it is i'm
perative that we should all be soldiers. Our entire
nation must form army, and if domestic duties
detain a few round the family hearth, let them re-
main like soldiers, musket or sword in hand.
Fifteen days are enough to make brave italian
a brave soldier. 1t is not an embroidered uniform
that his merit will consist in. Look at the Zouayes.
In their SIMPLE easy dress, they the first soldiers
in the world. l remember once finding myself,
during my American campaign, in the midst Of
vast plain, where neither from the interior nor from
the seaports, which the enemy had blockaded, any
of our wants could be supplied. The herds Of the
plain were our only resource, their flesh was our
only nourshment, and their skins were our prOtec-
ton from the heat of the MONDAY sum- and our COW
ering at night; and yet assure you that our
soldiers, armed only with the musket, performed
prodigies of yalor. We were the terror of the I'M
periasts, and my few hundreds Of brave men put
to rout the enemy by thousands. But we, my
friends, want arms: and that this want may exist
no longer, have proposed that Italy should form
subscription to purchase million Of muskets.

ABOUT BRowS---Certain northern papers convey
the impression Of very general belief ia John
Browns safety from execution. They assume that
for political or other reasons, Governor Wise viii
be induced to show clemencyt to this condemned
man. Such ideas are here received viii iIsiiena-
ton. certainly do not any ground for hope in
Browns case. It is evident that any attempt to.
remove him alive from this town would fail. The
people say that a regiment OF soldiers with, the
Governor at their head, could not accomplish IT,
You, at distance, can hardly form an impression
Of the rage for vengeance which is felt by the citi
zens OF this place. 49,
Browns own ideas ON the subject are character

this moment. The only compuncti6ns he exDresses
are in relation to his management at Harperis
Ferry by which he lost not only himself bnt saeri-
feed his associates. He sometimes says that Il he
had pursued his original plan of immediate escape
to the mountains, he could never have been taken
for ne and his men had studied the vicinity tho
roughly, and knew 1t hundred times better than
any of the inhabitants. It was he SAYS. lis sxeak

The reason Brown has given for asking his wife
to remain away is also characteristic. He Knows
it will cause great suffering and will, possibly.
shatter his eOmPosure in manner which he is re-
solved against lest his captors should esteem Il an
evidence of regret fer what he has done.
Nothing seems TO give Brown greater annoyance
than hearing Of those threatening anoaym0us let
ters that are continually sent to Gov. Wise and to
the authorities OF Charlestown concerning his fate
He protests against them, and feels unwilling to
believe that they proceed from his own friends.
