day or two afterwards, while Glover was
absent from home, q rebel called at bic

in the garden adjoining the cOrn6eld. some
distance from the house, when the rebele

TO which she gave no satisfactory answer

Glover was, and, with revolver in hand,
threatened instant death II not told. Ee
also at the same time demanded her to Dc.

The two started to the house through the

possession Of a large corn knife that hGa

The Cotton Question In England.

Ihc CottOn Question fn England.
The London Economist admits that the
controversy now pending in the United
States cannot be speedily settled, and tho,
the usual supply Of cotton from. the South
must be wholly or mainly foregone, ard
adds to these comments:
We shall have to depend for the next
year, chiefly upon our present stock ard
upon our Indian resources. Under the on.
Grafton OF this conviction. prices, which
have hitherto advanced but slowly and iD.
adequately, will take q decided upward
tendency, aud orders to India will be sent
out with much greater confidence than
heretofore, and at much more liberal Limits
Unusually large quantities are already on
the way from that country. and from iirsl
TO last we shall perhaps. receive a miniou
OF bales.
Meanwhile the pressure has as yet been
little felt in our manufacturing districts
The spinners, as q rule, are unusually well
stocked with the raw materal--many peo
pie say as far forward as October. The ex.
pectatlon OF an advance in price. which was
certain to be considerable and might be
enormous, has induced purchasers to supply
themselves freely with goods aud yarn; ana
as producers were determined not to allow
their produce to accumulate, they have met
the demand readily. And as they could.
generally, at existing prices ''cover them.
selves" (as the phrase ir,) that is, escape
actual loss, they have gone on producing
nearly at their ordinary rate. Now, how.
ever. there is the commencement of lun
ia the demand; and as manufacturers arc
determined not TO "stock," they will pro-
duce only as much as they can sell, and We
shall soon see short time resorted to as 6
general measure. Already few mills are
working only four days week. There is
no panic aud little speculation; caution il
the order OF the day; people are resolved "a
feel their way" aud in the prevalence or
this temper merchants will probably 6nd
an escape from rulnous losses, and opera,

BLoNDN AND THE LION.-Mr. Bloudn
wheeled q lion cub over the rope at the
Geological Gardens, Liverpool, on the of.
EernOOn Of the goth of June-a boisterous
wind prevailing at the time. The lion,
which was Is months old, and is called Tom
Sayers after the renowned pugilist, was
strapped to the barrow. Much curiosity
was excited to see the animal. Scores of
glasses we're raised, aud when the head Of
young Tom was observed, with eyes wan
dering about, as il anxious to know what
was to become Of him, the clapping and
cheering became very great. Having ad-
justed the barrow, BlOndin began to move
apparently trembling with the weight Of bis
load A guy was attached to the barrow.
and as it was let out by bis assistant. it by
some meaus or other got entangled after be
had proceeded some thirty or forty feet.
Blondn halted. and the guy rope fell TO the
ground. The heart became sick to look al
him. People kept their breath, expecting
every moment that the gymnast. with Tom
Sayers and the barrow, would be precipita-
ted into the "Ciiy Of Pekin," or into the
lake below. Instantly Blondin's resolution
was taken. He evidently could not get on,
and he began 10 move backward slowly and
cautiously. Women we're as II they we're
Witnessing an execution. A deep silence
prevailed, which was only broken when
BloDdin arrived safely on the platform.
Again the barrow was adjusted. and Blon-
din moved on this time without guy rope.
Gradually he reached the center, and after
resting q shrot time began to push up the
incline. The wind seemed to impede him
very much, and il was really frightful TO
see the barrow roll back occasionally about

Further From Arizona.

The Los Angeles Star of September 7th
gives the following Information concerning
Arizona, derived from MIR. POsl0D of the
Sonora Mining G Ompahy. and Mr.. Pampuli
Of the Santa Rita Company. who had ar
rived al Los Angeles from Tubac, and also
from large party who had arrived previ-
Ously. The state OF the country is most de-
plorable, the Mexicans aud Indians hav,dg
iull sway ell over il. Arizona is in fact
deserted. Firs: the Indians make an incur
sion, kill the whites aud carry of what
plunder they can; then the Mexicans comI
along and pick up everything they find
lying loose. In this way the mining inter.
ests have suffered almost irreparable injury.
The mines Of the above named companies
were 10 fine condition for working; a very
large amount bad been expended on them,
and now as The companies were beginning
to realize something for their labor they
are driven out. The Mexicans carry of the
ore, and entering the mines, tear down the
pillars left for support; thus almost destroy.
ing the mines, which are soon filled up with
water.
Among the names Of those killed Is men.
toned that Of Capt. Mowry, at the Patago.
MIA mine. Those who made good their es.
cape aud arrived at Los Angeles think that
the Ourys have suffered the same fate This
party suffered greatly from their departure
from Santa Rita, TO thair arrival on the
border Of this State, being destitute of all
food. but small allowance Of corn. All
the stations of the Overland Mail Company
are deserted. aud no assistance could be
procured on the way. Arizona is TeDre-
sented as being wholly deserted.

Rev Mr.. Robinson, missionary teach.

succumbed to secession pressure. On

ate States. The Council approved re-
commentator and appointed commission
ers to make a treaty of alliance with the

When few generations shall have
passed away, and our country have
emerged, happy, prosperous and united
from It's present trials, the grey headed
veterans Of the civil war Of 1861 will re.
count To their children their valiant deeds.
and will be heard with the same interest
with which We now listen to the stories of
the revolution And they will hardly re-
late more gallant deed than one which
was described to us few days since, by
an eyewitness, and almost participant.
When the civil warfare first became
violent in the northern counties of Mis-.
souri,, numbers of men, singly or in COM
panies, went over from our own State to
the assistance of Col. Moore. AmoDe
these was young man by the name of
NARROW, not more than 10 years Of age, .
farmer near Keosauqua.
On one occasion, he, with three others,
was sent out, mounted, on q scouting ex-
petition some distance from their camp.
Suddenly they saw, At some distance ahead
OF them, party Of four rebels, also
mounted, and Immediately gave them
chase. Having the best horse, NARROW
ran far ahead Of his own men, and came
rapidly up with the rebels. When he
came within their shot, one fred at him
but NARROW, being a good rider, hung
over the side Of his horse, and, without
injury, received this shot and another.
and then another, till all four of the reb-
els had discharged their muskcts at him.
Then fastening up to them, NARROW pre-
sented his bayonet, and, by threats Of
shooting, succeeded in taking three of
them prisoners. The fourth resisted
fercely, but received blow over the head
with the butt of gun, which effectually
cooled him down. And so, before the
rest Of his force could come up to helm
him, MARROW had, alone and unaided.
captured four armed and mounted rebels.
who were then brought quietly into camp,
with great rejoicings

bility that we shall see them again till its
close. Would it not be we'll. then, if pos
sible, to give them, on their departure,
some suitable manifestation Of our sympa-
thies? Let US, at least, repeat the kind
words we all said and felt when they first
left US for their place Of rendezvous, and
add thereto y prayer that the God of Bat
ties may guide them to glorious victory
and safe \return.
