MIR. Goliath summoned his seconds from
among the Philistines, while little Dave
called his from among the men Of Israel
We are unable, at this late day, to give
minute details of the rounds. In the first
round, Goliath got his bunch Of tves
handsomely into Dawes mug, somewhat
disfgured his smeller, and drove him to
the ropes. On time being called for the
second round, both came to the scratch in
good order, though the knowing ones OBJ
served a slight shakiness in little Dawes
underpinnings Goliath clirched him and
would have pounded him to death, not
withstanding the loud and angry cries of
s.foul'' on both sides, had not David drew
/ a sling-shot and hit the giant on the head.
/ The giant fell, and David drew his sword
and cut off his (llr. G.'s) head. The
head Philistine bottlc-holder threw up the
sponge and then took to his heels, closely
followed by the other Philistines,
And this was the first prize-ight of
which we have any record. 1t was diff
ferent from the fights of this our day
That was fight of Right against Might,
the Right winning as it always must in
the end, while the ring combatants OF
5 to-day are fought for filthy money and by
: men who are very little superior to the
brutes of the field.

INDIAN WOMEN AND WHITE LADIES.

INDIAN WOMEN AND WHITE LADIES.
General Sam Dale, the Southwestern
Indian fighter, says, in his memoir just
published, that he paid visit to Wash
ington when jackson was President, and
adds:
"The ladies of Washington struck me,
who had SO long been accustomed to the
suuburncd maidens of the woods, as very
fair and beautiful, very fascinating aud
refined. In one thing they differ from
our Indian women, they look one full in
the face, and it is difficult to withstand
their glances. An Indian maid, when a
warrior approaches, bends her head like a
dropping Leaf. 1t is only in the deepest
recesses, when no others are near, that
her lover sees the whole lusture of her
ewes, or even the bushes that mantle on
her check They love intensely, and
make the most faithful wives and the ten
derest of mothers"

aea. \ Yankee from Maine being at Bu-
ena Vista the night before the battle, and
somewhat doubtful Of the result, went out
of hearing, as he supposed, and made the
following prayer:
20 Lord, here we are, about four thou
sand of us, and twenty thousand Mexicans
enough to swallow us without greasing.
Now if YOU can help us, do it--and if you
can't, for heavens sake don't help the
Mexicaus-and just hold on until to-mor
row, and you'll see the gaui darndest fight
You ever saw in your life. Yours, respect
fully, amen"

AFRAID OF SNAKEs.-In the course Of
the evening, our jolly joke-cracking COM
pany got, as usual, on the subject Of snakes
Many remarkable stories were told, some
Of which were interesting, while others
were dry and dull l can give you but
one at present:
I'VE have The greatest coward about
snakes up in Calhoun, that lives in Amer
lea He came from the East last spring,
bought farm close to where | live; and
for the first six months in the country,
don't think he slept two hours night, for
he felt sure snake would manage to get
in his bed.
"He sowed a nice piece of oats, but the
snakes prevented his harvesting it. I'll
tell YOU how it was. When the oats got
ripe. he was certain it was full of snakes,
and that he'd get bit if he ventured over
the fence
zone day he concluded he'd take a
look to see if there were many snakes in
the patch so he got the old horse, and
after leading him through the gap, aud
LAYING up the fence to keep the hogs out,
he took an old scythe snathe in his hand
to fight with in case Of an attack, mount
the horse, and struck boldly out into the
oats, holding up both legs as high as pos
sible
"He hadn't gone far when he saw a
whaling big snake slipping along the
oats after him. Away he went, the snake
right along with him something behind
and sometimes before. He couldn't get
out of the lot because the fence was up
aud as the snake kept constantly with him,
there was no chance but to leave the old
horse, and try keep out of its way, He
went it in that way till every stalk Of his
oats was tramped down, and until the old
horse was just about dead, when he dis
covered that he'd been running all the
time from the shadow Of his own snathe. y

The PEASANT WOMEN OF CHINA.--lt
is said by one who, having seen the Es-
ouimaux women, supposed that they might
carry off the palm of repulsiveness-th91t
whether old or young, maiden or grand,
mother, the Chinese paysanne is the most
hideous spectacle that any one but ms
oovnist can wish to witness. Huddled IN
the RAGS that never knew cleanliness, with
years of dirt encrusting face, arms, ana
legs, and with features vilified by penury
and ignorance, they form sad deslIS's,2,'e- @3
m,cnt from the pretty pastorals of the Chi
nese books. One could associate some ro-
nance with the peasant of any other ma
tion-one could believe in an African
Chloe. or in a Fin Pratiska but sentiment
and China uilageoise-no,i it's impossible

'Tis in village where our scene is laid,
\ village where the citrons bloom and fade
Each passing summer;
Where orange trees, like watchers fair,
Guard every cottage door
Where noontide shadows slowly creep
And sleep upon the floor.
\ mirrored lake with waters still,
Winds round the bend below,
And cedars dark upon the hill
In wild profusion grow
All day the long, long shadows creep
Beneath the welcome shade,
Ger mouIdering tombs of marble gray,
Where the village dead are laid.
Where sunsets fade when day is DER,
And the weary rest forevcrmore.
\ legend quaint the village has,
OF the Manor on the hill
At twilight they whisper their story strange,
When the noise of the ''smith" is still.
They tell of stranger who yearly came,
Where the moon her pale light shed,
Who smiled, and wept, grew sad and gay,
Till all ut the ..Manor' were dead.
He stood first by the spring, and the myrtles

| At each evening dropped further Ger
The rocky ledge till their tangled leaves
Formed a green and shaded door;
| Till the pale blue flowers that slowly crept
Along on the green hillside,
Grew boIder, came on to the fountain head,
| And drank Of the limpid tide.

Said the stranger, IlImake of you ever
Where shadows stole 'mong the old gray rocks,
Or lay in the dark green lane,
| The stranger was seen to come and go,
To 60, and to come again.
He would sit for hours by a towering tree,
Silently, sad and alone, [spot,
And twas always thought when hsleft the
That the tree had taller grown.
How strange that his coming should make the
moss
Grow wilder over the way: form
And his breathing should cause each youthful
Meath the marble white to lay.

When the moon her pale light shed,

And they whispered she is dead.

Where with folded hands she lay,

Al the purple flush of day

Had claimed the fairest forevermore.

Time faded the orange flowers, [wep
Time marked where the dark green cedar

The moss each crumbling stone.
The red fox hides in the forest deep,
The deer goes bounding by,

Meath the dark green cedar5 lie.
Low droops the moss DER the marble urn,

The Regular ORGANIZATION"

The Douglas party lay great stress upon
their Presidential candidate having received
the largest number of votes in the National
Convention, and being finally nominated as
they say according to party usage" in the
face of the resolution passed at Charleston
requiring two thirds Of the Electoral vote of
the Union to nominate. After the division
of the Convention at Baltimore, they say
Mr. Douglas received two thirds of the re.
naming vote, and is therefore the "reguarIy
nominated candidate;' and although some
profess little sympathy with the doctrines OF
Mr.. Douglas, the glitter of regular nom
nation" covers al other defects. AS we
have number of these regular organiza,
ton" men in this county, we will call their
attention to the action of their late County
Convention. Their Legislative candidates
were called upon to define their positions
and among the rest Mr. j. c. Ball-who
stated that he had always been Democrat
and in order to sustain Democratic prnc
pies had found it incumbent upon him to &C
outside of the party organization two year:
ago. Mr.. Ball was one of the boilers O
'5S and the Broderick Douglas candidate
for the Senate. Immediately thereafter the
ballo. was had and Mr.. ali received los
votes out of about l25-a greater numbc,
than was given to any candidate for any po
sition upon whi,h ballot was taken-man,
of his votes being from the rigid Irregular
organization" men. We find no fault with
the nomination Of Mr.. Ball, (he has been a
Douglasite ali the way through bet we dc
say that the words and actions of these re-
cent converts 10 Douglasism are not con
slstent.

Forest Hill Correspondence.
FOREST HILL, Sept. goth, IL

FOREST HILL. sept. EOtu, IooO.
Editors Herald: As you have not heard from
me in some time, and thinking You might ike 10
know how matters political are going on in this
region of the mountains. take up my pen to IN
form YOU of the death of Douglnssm at Forest
Hill. with the exception of the tail end, which
does show some signs Of departing lie by IN oc-
casonal wiggle; reminding one of the ram OF
notorious butting propensities, owned by IN ola
farmer in times gone by, who to eftectually cure
this mischevious disposition, suspended mall
(soncthin like the one Uncle Abe is said to have
split rails wih) from the limb of an apple tree.
and giving it swinging motion to attract the at
ten,ion of his ramship, retired and let the beng
gerent "sail in,' which he did vigorously Oh
visiting the scene of contest next morning. the
farmer found the ram had butted himself all
away with the exception of the tail, which was
still wigging u little. but soon wiggled lis last.
So it is with Douglnsism-the body is now dead
md dccaying and daily falling to pieces. but the
tails still wiggles and the head, in the person OF
Stephen A. is doing some butting; but head and
tail will be us dead. politically. next November
us the stump Of that old rams tail.
The only real party in opposition 10 the M
tional Democracy in this State, and elsewhere, III
my opinion, is the Republican. and that we have
to fight; but as they have lost their Pcpu'ai
Sovereignty brethren Of last year. they cannot
possibly succeed
The difference, it is true. is not so great be-
tween Repnbicanism and Douglnsism. the idea
of the former, however, being the more prelera-
bic of the two. but they cannot agree upon the
man | think there is no sane man, at least De
mocrat. who does not prefer the policy OF the
Republican party in reference to slavery IN the
Territories to that of the Douglasitcs; and every
sensible mall will or ought to admit that if Con
grcss has not the power to prohibit slavery in the
Territories that its creature the Territorial Leg
isatuye has not the power 10 do it.
Respectfully yours, CONTRERAS.
