FEMALE HERoIsM.-The extreme secusion
IN which the fair sex are at present kept by
the Asatics, was not so in the early period OF
Mahomedonism, nor previous to it, as appears
from an anecdote of female heroism, and Of
conjugal devotedncss. which took place at the
siege Of Damascus, six years after the death
of the Prophet, whose followers, by close
investiture, had reduced the garrison and peo-
pie to the utmost extremity. In consequence
of this, sorte of all capable of bearing arms
took place, under the personal command of the
Greek Governor, when the wife of one of the
chiefs determined on accompanying her hus-
band. The Mahomedons, with their custom
airy cunning, pretended to be struck with a
sudden panic, and assumed the appearance Of
hasty and disorderly fight, so as to lead on
the garrison beyond the limits of safety, when
the Arabs, suddenly forming on all sides, took
their assaiants by surprise, whilst in all the
confusion of supposed pursuit.
The resistance of the Greeks was, neverthe-
less, worthy of their valor but, in the course
of the action. while the chief, whose wife still
accompanied him, was performing prodigies
Of valor, the spendor of his dress and armor
excited the cupidty of powerful Arabian,
called Seffwaun, who rushed into the thckest
of the battle and having, with his mace felled
the Greek to the ground, instantly dispatced
him. Enraged with horror and despair, the
unhappy fair one seized upon weapon, and
assaied the slayer of her husband with de-
gree of active resolution that at first aston
ished the enthusiastic savage; but even his
generosity prevailed over the ruthless ardor of
battle, and recoiling from the dishonor of en-
bruing his hands in the blood Of female, he
merely parried her assaults, which continued
for some time with extraordinary vehemence,
cautiously avoiding to wound, but endeavoriDg
TO terrify his fair and frail antagonist. 1t was
not, however, until she was nearly surrounded
by the enemy, during the retreat of her dis
comfted friends, that she attempted to retire
from the fight, when she unwilingly sought
shelter with them within the walls of the city :;
but finally to perish, when party of besiegers,
under the command of Khaled, the fierce and
ineXorable, stormed the walls, even during q
pending capitulation, and sacked the city with
indiscriminate slaughter

WHAT WAR Is-War is game of science,
not question of courage. An army of one
hundred thousand men may overthrow to-day
an army of one hundred and fifty thousand. 1t
may kill and wound twenty thousand of the
foe, and lose but ten thousand men itself; yet
the one hundred and thirty thousand of the en-
emy, being demoralized and hors du combat,
will hardly venture, on the following day to re-
new the contest with the remaining ninety
thousand Of the victor. All nations are brave,
but history is full of instances where the brave
have laid down their arms The idea that any
people cannot be conquered is not even decent
nonsense. The notion that an army without
money, leather or lead without harbor or a
ship at sea without recognition or reputable
cause can defy the laws Of life ard strength,
and permanently withstand the mighty pres
sure of at least equal courage and continually
replenishing force, is preposterous. and nothing
else.

deserving of more than ordinary mention.

and had never spoke marriage the ques-

fore, had been introduced to the young lady

The American Youth.

Life is a continued battle, wherein defeat is
suffered more often than victory is won. Along
its finty path the footprints Of disaster are
everywhere seen, and by the wayside are thick
ly strewed with the graves of the fallen. Why
is it that so few succeeds Why is the hope
with which youth set out so often desolated,
and the goal of ambition so rarely reached p
The strife is often commenced witout prepara-
ton for the struggle. The young, impulsve,
and ardent, think they have but to reach forth
their hand to pluck the fruit that, like the ap-
pies of the Hesperides, is only to be gained
after the highest endurance and the most pa
tient perseverance. Seldom does genius give
the tongue of fame that secures distinction al
most without effort Toisome study and
persistent investigation, and patient experiment,
are the only modes of realizing power to
create, or even to recombine, so as to subdue
new elements to human use. Physical as well
as mental training is necessary for the accom-
plishment Of life victories. But when the
intellect is well cultivated, the bodily energies
are often uncultivated. The mind, like friction
on a machine not fabricated, wears out the
mechanism Of the body, and its growing weak
ness and disorder nullify the power it deyelopes.
How often blanched cheek emaciated limbs,
and feeble muscles, mark the successful student,
who droops into the grave when be is about to
reach the goal of his aspirations
We of America have much to learn on this
point. A system of intellectual forcing culture,
habit of putting boys to the business of men,
has produced a species of precocity, which,
however much it may awaken astonishment at
the wonderful Developments, will leave-nay,
has left-manifod evils. At the rate we are
now progressing, the time is not far distant
when such things as boys will be entirely un-
known. Now the lads of ten wear the manners
of maturity, and the girls of a lesser age are
often women in ali but physical development.
To the want of physical culture there is also to
be added neglect of moral lessons. What
school in America teaches the humanities" as
they should be. taught? Where is principle
laid down as the basis of all great efforts
honorable action, not in the received sense,
which is promptitude in resenting any conceiv-
ed insult or suspected affront, but honorable
action, meaning that squared upon the golden
rule, " do unto Others as you would they should
do unto you," inculcated as the highest guar
antee of noble results Our teaching is wrong
our example is wrong; our praise and our
censure are often wrong and the result is that
we see fewer of those men, selfmade, and
strong in rectitude as the eternal truth, firm
in principle as the living rock, pure in charac-
ter as the mountain stream, and vigorous in
mind and body as the sturdy oak, who shed
honor on our early history.

The Return Of Our Volunteers.

From Vanity Fair
The Return Of Our Volunteers.
Our gallant volunteers
Came back from war to-day;
saw their broken ranks
A-marching up Broadway
Five hundred sturdy boys,
Brave fellows every one,
No mother in the land
Need blush to own her son!
Behind their tattered flag
They marched with martial tread,
Though half their corps, at least,
Were missing -wounded-dead.
And one had lost his sword,
And one had lost his gun;
Still every mother there
Was proud to own her SON.
Those gallant volunteers
Were worth their mothe,s' prayers;
For though the day was lost,
1t was no fault of theirs
They fought with fearful odds
What men could do, was done:
So every mother now
Is proud to own her son.
What though they came in rags?
Their honor still was bright;
They slew their foes like men,
In fair and open fight.
If some were towards there,
These boys of ours were none:
Let every mother, then,
Be proud to own her SON.
0 no, le volunteers,
You've done your duty well,
You, who came back to day,
And those who, fighting, fell
And though the field be lost,
'Tis still battle won,
To think-no mother here,
Need blush to own her son,

The PREsENTIMENT OF MURDERER.-A man
named McHugh was hanged in Cincinnati for
the murder of his wife, and the day before his
execution he told Mr.. Shockley, an officer of
the prison. that he had had presentiment of
the murder and his own death on the gallows
for thirty years. His remarkable hallucination
is related as follows; One day he was ascend
ing dark stairway to his room. He was sober
and in good health. Suddenly it seemed to
him as if his right arm was infused with
Samsonian strength. Just then he reached
the door, and he was tempted to test the newly
possessed strength upon it. He gave the door
what he supposed was slight tap, for he
scarcely felt the blow on his knucklCs The
door, however, quivered under its force, and
parts of the plastering on the wall fell down.
He looked to his arm to see if it had been in>
creased in size. Just then his head became
transfxed and he could move it neither one
way nor the other. While he was in that posi-
ton, strange voice spoke terrible words to
him. When the voice died away, his head be,
came movable. He looked up and around, but
no one was near him. Again be glanced at
his arm, again his head became transfxed, and
again were the terrible words spoken. As soon
as he regained power to move, he fed to his
room, and tried in vain to forget what had
passed, but the voice continued to ring in his
ears. Often, in after years,he heard it, "I'lf
not tell you what the words were," said be to
Mr.. Shockley, for they are to go with me to
my grave. You know what have done, and
what is my fate. Put the two together, and
you can conjecture the nature of the words"
Such was the vision that haunted this unfor>
tunate man through his whole manhood. Im>
pressed with the idea that fate had decreed
that be must kill his wife,and die for the crime.
he had perpetrated the atroeious deed, and
willingly surrendered himself to the gallows.
WATERLOO RELIcs-An individual who
owned small tavern near the eyentful field
was frequently questioned as to whether he did
not possess some relics of the battle, and as
invariably and as honestly answered in the
nevative But he was very poor, and one day
while lamentiDg to neighbor not only his
poverty, but the annoyance TO which travellers
subjected him, his friend cut him short with
Wen make one help the other Make some
relicsr ~ "But what can l do ?" inquired the
poor man. "Tell them that Napoleon or
Wellington entured your shop during the bat
tie, and sat down on that chair" Not long
after an English tourist entered, and inquiring
for relics, was told the chair story. The chair
was bought at an incredible price. The next
conner was informed that Wellington had taken
drink, and the " Wellington tumbler," was
accordingly sold. The third arrival gazed
with breathess wonder at the nail on which Bo-
napart q had hung his hat" The fourth pur-
chased the door posts between which he had
entered.

The LittIejohn-Greelc Libel Case.

PULASKI, sept. III, 1851.
The Littlcchn vs. Greeley libel suit has progressed
slowly to day The allegation in the Tribune upon which
the action is founded is TO the effect that Mr. iitiechn
hal been persistent in corruptng tho legislature and
ought TO be deposed. The publication being at
tachcd the plaintiff called but witness
to TO the extensive circulation of the
libel. The whole forenoon was occupied by J. l..
Williams opening the defence. He reviewed at great
length The New York city railway bills the West Wash
ngton Market bill and claimed them TO DO corrupt and
that the defendant knew them 10 be.
The first witness called Hon. f. A. Conk' ing who
commenced to testify that he had stated in his place In
the Legislature that the West Washington Market bill was
corrupt
long argument of counsel here cnsued as to tho line
OF proof.
Judge Pacon ruled that defendant conld not show
ruption in tho Legislature unless he could the
plaintiff with IT. that tie charge In the lbelous matter
of personal corruption and could alone be ust
cd by evidence that the plaintiff personally corrupt
The ruling shut out large number OF defendants wit
nesses.
Horace Greeley thea put upon the stand He ties
titled that he bore personal malice against Mr..
L.ttieohn and was subjected TO rigid cIcss examna-
ton from Mr.. Sedcwick, which elected that Mr..
Greeley had frequently attacked the plaintiff in
his papers--had made charge against him in refc.
to his being fugitive from Justice, which I'M
true-that he had made rctractations, because he
could not do without involving others in explaining
how he mistaken in his information.
The examination Of Mr. Greeley not concluded
when the Court adjourned
