Sunday afternoon, Charles WrightsOn, F.
W. Brown aud Robert Egcles on. while
roasting green corn ON the bank of the
slough, five miles below here, were half
scared to death by hearing a heavy tramp,
and IN a lew moments the Rhinoceros, as he
appeared here on the occasion of his first
visit IN July, minus the blanket and choin
in his nose, rushed upon them with a terri~
bic below, catching Eggleston on his snout
and throwing hIm, as he says. at least ffiy
feet over and back OF him, breaking an arm
and two ribs in the fail. The monster
plunged into the river, and the other two
persons, badly scared bat not hurt, procured
buggy, took the seat out, filed the box
with grass and a blanket and brought F.
glcston to his home in this city, where he is
now under the care Of DR.. Cameron The
ribs were evidently broken by the animal, as
the flesh wdS badly torn.
The " slough in which the animal
doubtless IS at present, is about five miles
below here, very deep, with muddy bottom,

JEFFERSON DAVIS was born in Kentucky
IN 1873, and IN infancy was removed with
his family 10 Mississippi. He received mil-
itGry education at West Point, where he was
graduated i'll lS2S. and was appointed breget
second lieutenant During the seven years
that he remained in the army, he served
with credit in several Indian wars, but re-
signed his commission in 1885 and turned
cotton planter. lis first appearance in pol
itics was in tie Polk presidential campaign.
The next year he was elected to Congress,
but he resigned in 1916 to command n rcgi-
ment in the Mexican war, where he served
with distinction. After his return he was
elected TO the Senate, and, in the stormy
debates which preceded tue compromise OF
1880, he distinguished himself rs the most
uncompr0mising champion of extreme
southern claims. lie was fCIcible
debater Of II highly intellectual! cast Of
mind, with 4 subtle pride which perverted
his whole moral nature. He was President
Plerce's Secretary of War, and despite the
superior abilities of Marcy, was the leading
spirit OF that cabinet. His unscrupulous
and domlneeriDg nature gave him complete
aSceDdancy over a mediocre man like Pierce
and man Of supple principles like Cushing;
anu Marcy, though he DID not approve,
was powerless to resist the bold pro-slavery
Vaccinations in that really able cabinet. 1t
was then that jeff. Davis sowed the dragons
teeth from which hosts Of armed men have
sprung up. The Kansas imbroglio. which
was iomentcd by that cabinet was the en-
tering wedge which has cleft tho Union.
Douglass repeal Of the Missouri COmprO
misc would have worked little practical mis-
chief, had it not been for jeff. Davis's sue
ccsSful plot in the cabinet to abct the at
tcmpts to thrust slavery into Kansas in spite
of the will Of its inhabitants.
Davis was an able man, but he did not
rise above the intellectual level of a score of
his contemporaries. He was goaded on by
a consuming ambition, which gave to his
talents their principal impetus, and was the
chief source OF his errors. In private life he
had no vices, and was as cstimable as an IN
tcns9ly self-conscious man is capable Of be
ing. But the criminal ambition to which
he was willing to sacrifice both the peace
and prosperity Of his country and his own
personal honor, will hand his name down to
posterity as that of bold, bad man, who
graspe4 at fruit which turned 10 ashes.

CKEDuLITY OF THE CROAKERs.- The carping
crOakers in our midst, who can see nothing
but corruption in the Government, and ulti-
mate defeat for the Union cause, exhibit the
most remarkable credulity. They see insur
mountable financial obstacles in the path Of
20, 600 900 of people engaged in trade and
commerce, with the money markets OF the
world open to them, and yet believe that
100000 900 OF an agricultural people, hemmed
in by land and sea, with national existence
in the money market, and celebrated for
reputation, will have money plenty. They
imagine that the North, with a superabund-
ance of lighting material of every kind-Ot
men, OF arms, of ammunition, of clothing, of
provisions and of medical stores. will be
obliged to succumb to the South, which lacks
all these essential requisites, is suffering for
nearly all of The luxuries and many Of the
necessaries of life, is obliged to resort to
drafting and conscription. to procure men,
robbery to procure food and clothing, and
lying to prop falling cause. The croakers
see nothing but defeat for the North upon the
sea. when every southern port is blockaded,
and the cowardly priyateers are daily dodging
the United States cruisers. The GROWERS
discern death for the Union cause in the
defeat at Bull Run or at Springfield, Mo-,
but they can observe no damage to the rebel
cause in the capture of Pegram and his forces,
or in the occupation of the forts at IIatteras
Inlet. They grumbe and groan and bewail
every National loss and rejoice at every rebel
gain, forgetting that the defeat of the North
is their own disgrace. In short, they delude
themselves into believing that a nation of
northern hardy freemen, with men, money,
all the paraphernalia of war, means of trans
portation by land ana sea, and the sympathies
Of the world, besides justice and humanity
on their side, are to be defeated by disor-
ganized band of traitors OF half their number,
lacking the main es 3entials for successful
warfare, cooped up like SO many Gagged birds,
and fighting against all the dictates Of law,
reason and humanity, with population
almost equal to their own ripe for msurrec-
ton.
