TncIe Caleb.

The hour of death is said to be an hon
est one; but although | believe many lies
have been told on the death-bed, we will all
agree that old Uncle Caleb proved himself
in his last moments, the pink of veracity.
Before his departure JEFF, the negro
preacher Of the place, gathered his sable
flock Of saints and sinners around the bed.
He read chapter and prayed, after which
they sang a hymn, lugubrious enough to
draw a guinea from a misers pocket in
erder to get it to stop. Uncle Caleb lay
motiOntionless with closed eyes, and gave
no sign. JEFF. approached and took his
hand. "Uncle Caleb said he earnestly,
ode doctors says you are dying; and all de
bredderin has come in for to see you de last
time. And now, Uncle Caleb, dey wants
to hear from your own mouth de precious
words you feels prepared to meet your
God, and is ready and willing to co. Old
Caleb opened his eyes suddenly, and in a
very peevish, irritable tone, rebuffed the
pious functionary in the following unex-
pected manner: Jeff, don't talk your
nonsense to mel You jest knows dat l
ant ready to go, nor willing neder; and
dat | ant prepared to meet nobody" JEFF
expatiated largely not only on the mercy Of
God, but on the glories of the Heavenly
Kingdom as land flowing with milk and
honey, etc. "Dis ole cabin suits me mon
'sus well ~ was the only reply he could
elicit from the old reprobate. And so he
died. Now it's my religious opinion
though not one of the Thirty-Nine Articles,
that old Uncle Caleb went to heaven. N

Affairs nj Fort nIoHenrr.
The Boston TfapeLer SAYS

Inc Boston ITdVeteT says:
We learn from Captain Devens, attached
10 the Worcester Rife Battalion, and who
left Fort McHenry yesterday morning, some
interesting facts in regard to the Massachu.
sets troops stationed there. He says that
the members of the Rife Battalion are in
good health and spirits, well fed, and ready
for any duty which they are called upon by
Government to perform.
He says that there are now about five
hundred troops in the fort, with several
Pennsylvania Regiments encamped on the
outside. General Banks of the Annapolis
Division, took command day before yester-
day, and has established his head quarters st
the fort. 1t is thought that he will be fa-
vorite commander with the troops. He was
serenaded by the bands of the Pennsylvania
Regiment the night after his arrival.
In reference to General Cad dwallader, our
informant says that he is a brave and expe-
rienced soldier, and, as a commander, would
have the entire confidence of the troops. He
had, however, large number of acquaint-
ances at Baltimore, and their visits to the
fort led some to suspect that all was not
right, but the Government and all who know
the man have undoubted confidence in his
loyalty to his country.
In regard to the condition of Baltimore,
our informant states from personal knowl-
edge that the Secessionists are mostly of the
richer and aristOcratic order, while the mid
die and lower classes are, with some excep-
tions, in favor of the Union. He has even
heard of numbers of the Plug Uglies, so
called, who expressed themselves most de-
cidedly as opposed to the secession movement.
The commander of Fort McHenry has made
such preparations that he could nearly de-
stroy the city in q few hours if necessity re-
quired it. He has hot shot and shells con.

Rnvsges otWild Beasts In India-The Hu-
man BEINGS Destroyed.

Everybody is aware that wild beasts
abound in the iungles of the Punjaub, but
we suspect very few people entertain the
remOtest idea of the frightful number of
human creatures, especially children, that
are destroyed year after year, by these
animals. In the two past years no less
than 500 children were killed, principally
by wolves, as will be seen by the subioined
extract: 1859. Killed, six men, one wo-
man, and 467 children 474; injured, 80
mon, three women, 83 childreu-119; to-
tai, SOB. 1860. Killed, nine men, four wo-
men, and 432 children-445; injured, 24
men, and 81 children-55; total, 500. The
number of wild animals destroyed is not so
great as one would expect, seeing that Gov
eminent has paid in two years 1886
rupees as rewards for the destruction of
apps, which includes large proportion of
cubs.
The total number of each description of
animals killed stands thus: In 1859
Tigers, y, leopards, 1872; bears, 1877; wolves,
LIZA; and hyenas, 2; total 1867. In 1860.
Tigers, 30; leopards, 163; bears, $50; wolves,
2,0S0; and hyenas, 80; total 1868 The
wolves, we understand, do the Creates
mischief. The wolf is probably the most
cruel, but most cowardly animal in exist
ence, and blundering, stupid beast,
devoid of the cunning which many wild
animals display. He does not sneak up to
his prey like the tiger or fox, or attempt to
conceal himself up to the moment of his
spring but advances in the open, at de-
liberate pace, until he arrives close to the
object he has in view, when, if he expert
enees the least resistance-a blow on the
head, for instance, or thump from man 8
fist-he will Immediately show his teeth
and snarl, but at the same time turn tail
and be off without inhicting injury.

a traveller in South America writes
In the savannahs of l7acubo, in Guiana,

the inhabitants, no traveller has ever men

two Of whom took the lead, in order to

out to me something elivated in the middle
Of the savannah, or swamp, which looked
like bundle Of arms. One Of my COM

Ar0ther View of the COwardIy Yankees
The Jackson Aississppian of the 7th thus
compliments the military movement in the
North
No sane man who looks at the tactics of
the enemy, will doubt that they are under
able and intelligent guidance. Their move
ments are marked by energy and decision.
Throughout all the Northern States the
note of preparation for the invasion and
conquest Of the South is heard. Arms and
munitions of war are provided. Old fac
tories are busily employed making arms,
and new ones are erected and set in mo-
tion. State authorities are not content
with merely responding to the calls of the
Central Government, and sending forth
raw recruits unused to the arts of war, but
have established extensive encampments
for drilling and training, so that when
. new leyies are made TO fill up the gaps
which the disaster of war will create, they
will be ready at u moments warning to
move upon the battle field and take the
places OF those who have fallen.
Their example should be initiated. The
South ought to be as well prepared to de-
fend her homes from ruthless and wanton
invasion, as the North is to prosecute its
diaboiical designs against her. For this
purpose, companies ought to be received
regiments formed-oficers elected-and q
course of regular military training COM
menced, These regiments could go into
encampment, one at time, alternating if
economy is to be considered the others
could attend to military duties at proper
intervals, and still have an eye to the OBJ
legations and necessities of private avoca-
tons
Thus the work of preparation would 60
on, and instead Of confused and disor-
gained mass Of citizen soldiery, we would
have well-disciplined reserve corps ready
to take the places of those already in the
field when vacancies should exist to re-
enforce them, and to meet any emergency
which accident or the fortune of war
might create.

The following sentence is from a sketch
by Edward Everett on the dependency of
the political destipies of country on its
natural features and geographical posi-
ton:
The Sovereign Power, which, when the
dry land rose from the bosom of the deep
ran the line of the Atlantic Coast in a
NoTthwesiwOrdly and Southwestwardly
direction for nearly two thousand miles
which guides the melting SHOWS of the
Rocky Mountains down the tepid shores of
the Gulf Of Mexico; which decreed that
cotton should whitea the malarious plains
Of the South, where blazing suns and the
languid air forbid this prosecution of the
manufacturing arts, while, for analogous
reasons, the motive powers and mechanical
industries attain their full development
and application only in a region and cli-
mate which do not admit the growth of the
great textile staple; that live-oak and naval
stores should be the product of one part of
the country, and capacious harbors, naui-
cal aptitude, and the other essential ele.
ments of naval strength should be almost
exclusively confined TO the other; that a
teeming population should swarm on ster-
lie lands, beneath inclement skies, and de-
pend to a considerable degree upon richer
fields in milder latitudes for bread that
coal dug from the recesses of the Allegha-
pies; that granite should be hewu from the
quarries Of Massachusetts to build the
warehouses of Mobile and New Orleans /;
and the ice of New England be necessary
OF life throughout the fervid South; that
one section should in Summer be driven
tlom its burning skies and feverous low
lands to the sea-beat cliffs of the North,
while in Winter the shivering, consumptive
invalid fies for his life from the fierce
s ng of the Northwestern blast to the
balmy breezes Of Florida; that Sovereign
Power l say, which has ordained these
natural conditions of our climate, of its
soil, and Of its productions, has enacted a
law unity, has framed a constitutional oi
political and social brotherhood which man
has not ordained and can not, if he would
abrogate.

APOLOGY FOR AMERICAN D1spLEAsURH

APOLOGY FOR AMERICAN DIsPLRAsURE
The London Daily NeVs of the 4th in
slant has an editorial of excellent temper
upon our Northern feeling in,this crisis, from
which we extract the following:
There are crises in the history of every
people which ought to claim the sympathies
of every reasonable man. 1t is impossible to
Vindicate every expression which has been
used by Americans in reference TO this
country. But considering the calamity
which has fallen upon the American Repuo-
lie, and the sacrifices which the Americans
of the North have been called on to make it
is not surprising that they should resent the
reckless language which has been used in
discussing these Rll-important matters. Con-
slider for a moment the effect which would
have been produced in this country, if in
the midst Of an Indian mutiny or an Irish
rebellion some American Senator had spoken
in his place in Congress of 'the bursting of
the great monsrchial bnbble," or had az
tempted TO prove the failure of such institu
tions by the necessity Of using force to re-
store. the royal authority. IL is not only
unjust but grossly untrue, to say that Dem
oeratie institutions have proved a failure
because a gigantic conspiracy has for time
succeeded in overwhelming the Federal
power. II may he that the North, with its
twenty million of freemen and its enormous
wealth, may tail in reaclaiming the South.
But the time has nOtyet come for proclaim
ing the success of 80 startling an enterprise.
No man who values freedom, or desires the
advance Of free institutions, can fail to sym
| pathise with those Americans who are now
! engaged in deadly struggle to maintain the
| principles Of freedom.

NOVEL Material FOR PERCUSSION Cars
The Richmond Dispatch says that David
Magee, of fredericksburg, Va, has succeeded
in making a very excellent article of caps
out Of leather and paper. He was in Rich
mond, Saturday, examining the machinery
for making copper caps, so as to model his
after the same pattern. The scrap leather ol
which Mr.. Magee has thus far made his caps
are pressed into shape while wet are then
allowed to dry, and are then filled as copper
caps are, with the detonating substance.
Both the leather and paper caps are as effec-
tive as the regular copper caps. A sample
was exhibited at this Office on Saturday.
They do not make 30 powerful a report as
the copper cap, but are just as certain in
their effects. The discoVerer of this singular
war material thinks he has discovered way
to make both the leather and paper imper-
vious to water.
The SoutherneTs are very easily satisfied.
They are philosophers.

virginia Wants a Long War.

The Richmond Wing is csptivated by the
beauties of war, and hopes it may continue.
1t says:
The Yankees are for a short war. That
would of itself be good and sufficient rea-
son with US for long one. That which is
to their interest is not to ours. They have
hatlered themselves that they could make
war on their neighbors with impunity to
themselves; that they could carry desola.
ton to our homes; but they have never
imsgined that the same evil could be visited
upon them. They must be taught better.
They are the makers of the war; they must
be made to taste its sweets. When the
banks and jewelry stores of Philadelphia
and New York are plundered, and those
cities sacked, and when Ben Mccullough 8
Texan Rangers are encamped on Boston
Common, they will begin to appreciate the
morality of war. No discipline less sharp
than that can teach them the true distinction
between right and wrong.
They have invaded our territory; they
have robbed our homes and stolen our prop
erty; they have insulted our women and
murdered our citizens. 1t is our privilege
to employ every means that God has given
us TO redress and avenge ourselves. A war
of invssion and devastation is that which
suggests itself at once to every mans resent
ment. They have loosed the furies let
them beware of Nemesis.
