SINGULAR ESCAPE FROM STARVATION g.
The Memphis Argus gives the following ac-
count Of a miraculous escape from starvation
of a gentleman residing in LanderdaIe county,
Tennessee, near HaIe's Point:
Last week he was out hunting in large bot.
tom in his neighbOrhood, and he observed a
wild goose fly out Of large cypress stun o,
which was some twenty feet high His know.
ledge of the habit Of these geese led him 10 be-
iieve that the goose had a nest in the STUMP.
On the outside Of the stump were a number Of
vines, which he pulled up TO peep in and get
possession of the eggs. After he had succeed
ed in gaining the top ofthe stump, he discover.
ed large number Of eggs some six or eighl
feet down inside. The nest, he supposed was
on firm foundation, and he accordingly lei
himself down inside but when he struck the
substance on which the nest was built, he dis
covered that it 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 a dilem.
ma, five miles from any habitation, inside Of a
stump twenty feet high, with no prospect of
any assistance, with nothing to subsist on but
the goose eggs; he screamed and yelled until
he was nearly exhausted. no one coming with
IN hearing distance. On the third day after
bis " incarceration I" two gentlemen were out
hunting and came within hearing distance
They were very much frightened at hearing a
man greAning inside or the stump, and for some
time they could not reconcile Themselves 10
what it meant but having learned that the gen.
tleman had been missing from home several
days, they soon were satisfied that it was no
"ghosG " inside the tree. They procured axes,
and soon the prisoner was liberated. He swears

THE FEELING AT THE SoUTH.-A correspon'
dent at Fortress Monroe says:


Persons who, by flags of truce, reach here.
via Norfolk. from Richmond and other cities
10 the Sonth, bear witness to the comparatively
lIberalized state of feeling prevalent at Nor
folk. have before referred TO the fact that in
that city there is a Union League that has
grown so influential as TO cause yGen Huger to
be unwilling to undertake TO deal with it, lest
he should make (for the rebes) a bad matter
worse. have heard gentlemen lately speak
Of the liberal treatment received at his hands
in "passing through the dreary land" of Sc.
ccssondom, as we'll as the general department
of the community, differing in so marked a
manner from what they saw elsewhere as TO
make them feel that they were in another land,
and indeed about to emerge from darkness int o
light II is well known that Gen. Huger went
into the service Of jeff. Davis. not only at a
late day, but with extreme reluctance, and
with the assurance to his Union friends that he
joined the rebellion in the hope OF being useful
in giving it speedy termination, and more in
love for the old flag thun with spirit of resent.

tie subsequently, made use of this language in
the Senate of France: "By proclaimng the
emancipation of the slaves | could have armed
q greater portion of the Russian population
against himself. ln several villages ihir en-
reimbursement was demanded of me. But the
war made upon Russia was political and,
besides, the brutality of this numerous class Of
the Russian people is such tha; this measure
would devote many families to the most horrid
baTbarites"
Well, we are engaged in just such a political
war, IN spite Of our own will, against aO adver-
sary that has been, aud wbSm it is of great con-
sequence should again be, our friend" In
neither case was SubjugdtiOn the purpose, but
SIMPLY the restoration Of affairs to the status
quo ante 6ellum. That being the object Of
Bonaparle, as he himself declared. he did not
doubt that his true policy was TO prevent his
"polltlcal war" from being the occasion OF a
social and serVile war. He held 10 his policy
TO The last, even up to the time he left Moscow.
As is said by Sir Robert Wilson, an English
writer, who was present during the most Of the
campaign: "There is no question that civil
war could have been tomented in Russia, and il
was BonaParte who rejected the offers of insur.
rectlon which were made to him during the
time he was in Moscow"
Now, If Bonaparte was impeled by the i'm.
portance of not permanently alternating the
Czar, and also by considerations of humanity,
TO avoid all incitement to servile war, the same
policy is most assuredly incumbent upon us.
The recovered friendship of the Gear was ne
cessary to him, simply that an external ally
might be won; but the regained friendship of
the Southern people is necessary to us that eur
internal oneness may be saved. The humane
inducements in his case referred only to dlstu nj
foreigners, OF alien blood, strange religion and
barbarnus language; in our case they refer to
mother tongue, worshippers at the same altar
and fellow. citizens under the same free rule
The reasons which pressed so powerfully upon
the great French Emperor press with far more
force upon us.-N. Y. World.

supported the Navy of the Uaited States, as il

Music IS very good thing in its way, but we
cannot but believe that we are having "too
much OF a good thing" There has been far
more swelling OF cheeks and bstreperation OF

Yankee Doodle came 10 town,

Attaining like iarnation,

And riAed his plantation;

"They may restore the plunder;
But il they don't, I'll go a head,
And thrash them well. by thunder!''
Chorus-Yankee Doodle, etc.
And then the lovely Queen of Spain
Told him in honeyed lingo.
That she had courted-not in vain
A darkey in Domingo:
"My DEAR" said he. Il" if you will roam
With all the male creation.

TEE OPINION OF NJ RUssELL-The special
correspondent of the London Times at Wash
ingtOn, has sent home his opinion, formed, it
must be admitted, after an adequate survey OF
the subject, that the National Government will
be able TO repress the Slsveholders' rebellion.

Of the available strength aud resources of :he
North to make its triumph perfect. II will be
curious now to sea what infueRce this declara.
ton will have on the editorial columns OF the
Times. MIR. Russell is witness whom the
conductors OF that paper placed upon the stand.
They have lost no opportunity Of endorsing his
entire credibIlity; going SO far indeed as TO
write leading articles demonslrative of his in.
fallibllity and declaring that what. he saw, as
at the affair of Bull Run, they see through his
eyes When he now tells them that the Amer.
lean linton is not destroyed that the inevita.
BILE Ia we demanding it's dissolution are going
TO be evsded; that il will emerge from this
struggle presently with social and industrial
resources unmpaired, with a commerce enrich.

navy and army strong enough to place il fore.

sequences, and traRkly confess the error into
which a senaeless mAlignity has led IL! Un-
