SELECT MISCELLANY.
Power of q Mothers Name.

1t Is hard for the most abandoned GRIM
inal to forget mothers love, or to be in
sensible to the memories of a pure and
happy home in childhood. A writer in
the Times describes a visit to the Phila-
delphla Penitentiary, in which he witnes-
sed an interview between the warden and
young man about to enter on his impris-
Onment
We passed on the ante-room again,
where we encountered new conner, who
had just reached the prison as We entered.
He had been sent up for five years on a
charge Of embezzlement.
He was attired in the latest style of
fashion, and possessed all the nonclalence
and careless appearance of a genteel row.

The convict had been standing during
the brief dialogue perfectly unconcerned
and reckless, until this last interrogatory
was put. Had a thunderbolt struck him,
he could not have fallen more suddenly
than he did when the name of l." mother"
fell on his ear. He sank into chair-a
torrent of tears gushed from his eyes-the
very fountain of his heart seemed to have
burst on the instant. He recovered par

"Don't sir, for Gods sake, don't call

There were tears in other eyes beside
the prisoners, and an aching silence per
vaded the group which surrounded the
unfortunate convict.
The black cap was drawn over his eyes.
He was led to an adjoining apartment and
stripped and shortly afterwards he reap

New PAPER.-A French gentleman AN
amateur in chemistry, has discovered a
new mode of making paper. 1t is simply
by boiling slices of wood with a certain
quantity of mineral and vegetable alkali.
If the statement of the inventor may be
relied upon, who intends to. practice his
method on large scale, he can produce
from ffty-four kilogrammes of slices of
frewood, and five kilogrammes of alkali,
ream of very large paper as white as
snow and as fine as silk.

CORRESPONDENCE.


lUsJALUOsAt Ala, July 50, icuu.
MY DEAR RICHARDSON An abun-
dance of rain has fallen in this section Of
country, within the past three days, and
/ fear the cotton, up to this time so prom
Using, will be seriously injured thereby,
though 1t is thought the corn will be
greatly benefited. 1t is pretty certain
if the boll-worm does not get into the
cotton in the counties below us, that there
will be, at least, third larger yield in
that staple than was ever known before.
Up to the goth the season had been as
fine ia Green County as the farmers could
wish, and l sincerely hope they have been
fortunate enough to escape the heavy
rains that have fallen here. The crops
are all laid by now, and the principal
work on our largest plantations is making
baskets, very soon to be needed in the
field. saw letter to gentleman from
his overseer living in Green, a day or two
ago, in which he stated he had cotton al
ready open on the farm-the letter was
dated the 10th. ] reckon this is, per-
haps, earlier than you have in Missis-
ippi Yours Truly,

The ADMINISTRATIVE proposal for an
armistice came, it seems, from France,
aud was the result of the Emperor's own
determination. This fact is important.
That Napoleon should stop short in
career Of victory, and make overtures to
q foe whom he has defeated in two pitch
cd battles, and driven back to the limits
Of Lombardy. is certainly as mysterious
as it was unlocked for. This must have
proceeded from the moderation or the ne
cessities of the French ruler. In either
case, the war is, we trust, at an end
The Emperor has won the advantage
which he proposed to himself and France
comes out of the contest tremendous in
power-able to dictate the terms upon
which the late terrible effusion of blood
shall end. 1t may be, however, that
Louis Napoleon has other designs in view.
He is cunning fox, and the world is, as
yet, but partially acquainted with his
true character.

MORALITY.

Michael Chevalier (the author Of the
work on gold) one Of the finest and no
blest of French political economists, says
that respect for the marriage tie and fam
lily morality, lie at the basis of prosper
Gus and free State. He concluded, from
personal observation--fo he visited our
country in 1S37-that the United States
was able to maintain its freedom, because
almost every fire-side was little repub-
lic-because there was respect for the
marriage-bed 1t is well known that we
are far from perfection in this country,
and in England, as the painful accounts
daily appearing in our public journals de-
monstrate. Still, in comparison with
France, we are so far superior. that we
can truly call ourselves moral nation.
France and England are physically sep
arated by sixteen miles of water, but the
morals of the two countries are much
wider apart. Does not England, does
not our country, owe their higher morali-
ty to purer religionl An unmarried
priesthood and confession box, are dan
gerous matters in society. A religion in
which you may buy off your conscience
is very convenient, but most detri-
mental and corrupting religion. Where
the marriage tie is not respected, Famoar,
as Michelet has shown, means Oftener IL
centous conduct than heaven-born affec-
ton and true love; there cannot be, in
the long run, an augmentation ofpopula-
ton.
France contained in 1921, 30,46l,s75
inhabitants to-day about 36,000,0OO.
From 1917 to 1854 the average annu-
al increase of the population was 100000,
4. G. the 222d, part of the average number
of inhabitants. If the annual augmenta-
ton should maintain itself at this rate it
would require 154 years for the French
population of Ammo Domini 1859, to
doubt itself. But this increment has ac-
tualy ceased, dimnuiion has taken
place since 1854, and no one knows where
it will stop. England since 1854, has
lost a greater proportion of her popula-
ton by the Crimean war, the rebellion
in India, and by Australia and America,
ten times over, than France has lost by
all causes Except natural deaths) in the
last FIVE years. Yet England has actu-
ally increased her population in the old
vigorous ratio.
These figures are full of food for reflec-
ton, and it behooves us as Americans to
look well to the fre-side republic" 1t
is not alone necessary for the future in
crease and true progress of our country
that the marriage tie be most carefully
respected and guarded, but children
should be taught those principles of obe-
dienee and Of veneraion for truth which
will insure permanency to our institui
tons. We are not pessamist, but we
confess that we look with fear and trem-
bling to our contry's future unless young
America is better trained at home than
he appears to be now.

THE DUTY OF THE SOUTH.
TUSCALOOSA

In speech delivered at Albany, N. Y,
in July, 1856, Hon. Willard Fillmore, ex-
President of the U. s., uttered these sen.
timents:
E" We see a political party presenting
candidates. for the Presidency and Vice-
Presidency, selected, for tile first time,
from the Free States alone, .,cith tile acom-
ed purpose Of electing these candidates By
the sufrages Of one part ofMe Union on
ly to rule orer tie whole United States.
Can it be possible that those who are en-
gagged in such measure can have Sc
riously reflected upon the consequences
,chich must isecitably tollov, IN case of
success? CAN THEY HAVE THE
MADNESS OR THE FOLLY TO
BELIEVE THAT OUR SOUTHERN
BRETHREN WOULD SUBMIT TO
BE GOVERN ED BY SUCH A
CHIEF MAGISTRATEl Would he
be required to follow the same rule pre-
scribed by those who elected him, in ma
king his appointments If Il man living
South of Mason and Dixon's line be not
worthy to be President or Vice President,
would it be proper to select one from the
same quarter as one of his cabinet coun-
Gil or TO represent the nation in foreign
country? Or, indeed, to collect the rev.
enue, or administer the laws of the Uni
ted States If not, what new rule is the
President to adopt in selecting men for
office, that the people themselves discard
In selecting them? These are serious, but
practical questions, and, in order to apprc-
ciate them fully, it is only necessary to
turn the tables upon ourselves. Suppose
that the South, having a majority of the
electoral votes, should declare that they
would only have shareholders for Presi-
dent and Vice President, and should
elect such by their exclusive suffrages to
rule over US at the North. Do you think
ace ,cOuld submit to IT,? No, not for
moment! And do you believe that your
Southern brethren are less sensitive on
this subject than you are, or less jealous
of their rights !? IF you do, let me tell
you that you are mistaken. And there
fore, you must see that if this sectional
party succeeds, IL leads inepitably to tile
destruction Of tAis beautiful fabric reared
by our .torgatAers, cemexfed by their
blood, and 6equeathed to as as priceless
Inheritance"

A TALE TOLD OF GARIBALDI.

The Milan correspondent of the New
York Times writes from Milan:
From some of the wounded "hunters"
who have come in to Milan | have OBJ
tanned the following particulars concern
ing Garibaldi's career: After defeating
Urban at Varese, and pursuing him as
far as Malvate on the road which leads
to Como, Garibaldi turned to the left,
keeping under the hills which prolong the
Swiss frontier, and soon, by rapid march
es, arrived at the foot of the hill leading
to Borgo Vico Qhere is the churcb,) and
Garibaldi, hoping to surprise the enemy
by climbing the hill on one side, and de-
scending rapidly on the City of Como on
the other, went up towards the church,
to explore the positions. "Are there
any Austrians in the neighborhood :" he
asked of the sacristan, whom he met
halfway up the hill. mot living
SOUL" was the reply, the Croats are
at Camerlata and at Como" The Gen.
eral went on his way, and had just reach
ed the church when an old woman, who
had known him in 1S4S, hobbled up to
him, and, in breathless haste, cried -
Back back! the Croats are hiding
in the church" Hardly had Garibaldi
time to give the order TO retire, and TO
spring to his own horse, when the church
gates sprung open, and volley of shot
saluted the retiring group. 1t was here
that Giacucto Battaglia and de Christie
fOris fell. The latter, who had been
separated for many years from his moth
er, had written to her to meet him on the
2Sth at Como. She came, and the first
news that reached her was the success of
the volunteers. Full of joy and pride at
the stories related of her son, she awaited
his return from the fatal hill. They
brought his corpse
