A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM SrARSATIoN-d
han Three Days In a Stttn1p.-We have just
learned OF s. miraculous escape faenl starvation of
gentleman residing in Laudersale county, Tenn,
near Hales Point. The facts are these. Last week
be was Cat buntiag in large hattom in his neigh
borhood, and hg observed Wild goose fly out of q
large cypress stump, which Vas some twenty feet
high. His knowledge of tho habits Of these geese
led him to believe that the goose had nest in the
stump. On the outside OF the stump were q num-
her Of vines, which he pulled up by to peep in and
get possession of the eggs. After he had succeeded
} in going to the top Of the stump, he discovered
| q large number of eggs some six or eight feet
down inside. The nest he supposed was on 3 firm
foundation, and he accordingly let hinseH down
| inside; but when he struck the substance on which
the nest was built, he discovered that il had no
foundation, and soon found himself sinking to the
| bottom of the tree.
The inside of the tree was rotten and would not
bear his weight Now he was in dilemma, five
miles from any habitatiop, inside of q stump
twenty feet high, with nothing to subsist on but
the goose eggs; he screamed and yelled until he
was nearly exhausted, no one coming within hear
ing distance On the third day after his $. incar-
eeratonn two gentlemen were out hunting, and
came within hearing distance. They were very
much frightened at hearing man groaning inside
of stump, and for some time they could not re
conCile themselves to what it meant: but having
learned that the gentleman had been missing from
u home several days, they soon were satisfied that
was no " ghost . inside The tree. They procured
axes, and soon the prisoner was liberated. s tss
swears he will not attempt to rob gooss AsS'
] situated as that one again. [Memphis Argus

DR.. DELRIEU's RIDING ScHooL,--Ths establish

SUNDAYS DISPATCHES.

MEMPHIS, Sept 2S.--A dispatch has Just been
received from Fort Smith, Ark, which refers to q
recent skirmish, in which regiment of Missouri
ans, under Col. Hunter, made bold but iaeffeA
tual stand against the rufian hordes of Gen. Jim
Lane and Kansas Montgomery" who are march.
ing toward the Arkansas frontier, burning all the
towns in their way, and committing the most
atroeious barbarities. Col. Hunters men were de-
feated, and compelled to return before superior
force.
Gen. McCulloch has now only $500 men in his
command. He has issued proclamation declaring
that he needs three regiments of infantry immedi,
ately. He asks for twelve months volunteers, in
accordance with the decision of the Arkansas Mill
tary Board, limiting the enlistment to that period
He points out the danger, and calls urgently for
general rally for the defence of the State.
There is no doubt that his call will be promptly
and literally responded to, notwithstanding the
unpatriotic action in certain quarters.

ALIEN AND OTHER ENEAIIEs.- The forty days
having expired, as designated in the Presidents
proclamation, in conformity to what we deemed an
extra, judicial act of Congress- we are to presume
that heuccforth no alien enemies will be permitted
to go at large within the limits of the Confederate
States. Neither should foreigners come amongst
us, without a declaration of purpose to become
citizens. And, above all, no one, not in the en-
ploy Of the Government out of the country-else
the passport system itself is farce, and we shall
be at the mercy of our enemies.
1t seems to us that aliens should now be required
to take the oath Of allegiance to our Government;
and that the same test of loyalty might very ju-
dciously be applied to those amongst us who are
known to have voted, few brief months age,
against the ratification of the Ordinance of Seces
sion Many of our wealthy men opposed secession
to the last and may be still opposed to separation
and Southern independence. If this class be not
attended to- and if, by one of the vicisstudes Incl
dent to war, the enemy should happen, for how
ever brief q season, to approach the capital, we
might have the spectacle OF at least another
nucleus Of reconstructonists. They would
come out of their holes and offer protection to the
fearful, or attempt to intmidate the timid nom
combatants. We should provide for every con-
tingency and all who are not friends are enemies.
Not only all the wealth, but all the blood Of the
South is pledged for the redemption of our coun-
trv. The man who will not fight, and he who
dares to depreciate the credit OF the Government,
are alike traitors. [Richmond Enquirer.
