PASSED by the State Convention its several sessions
and solicit orders for the same The Convention only
authorized the printing of 500 copies and as the dis
trbution of that number is provided for by an ori-
nance passed by that body it is quite likely that copies
of these ordinances will be difficult to obtain. For
this reason we have concluded to print the above
mentioned number of extra copies for sale Price
81 25 per copy, or when sent by mail, postage paid
81 so per copy. Those wishing copies would do well

AN INCIDENT.

We have frequently imagined the anguish that
must be suffered after any great battle, by the
families and friends of those who were engaged in
the conflict, How anxously do all look for the
list of the killed and wounded. How many are
cast into deep affection by hearing of beloved
husband or son or brother-"report ed killed.?
And how painful it is to know that our wounded
have all fallen into the hands of the snemy-where
they are remain in their sufferings with no kind
hand administer and no familiar voice comfort.
Several days ago, a volunteer from this city
returned home Exchanged under the present
cartel from confinement in northern prison.
lie was engaged in the sanguinary battle of the
"Seyen Pines" and was reported killed." after
the cessation of the conflict His death was ac-
cordingly published in the newspapers, and, his
family and friends were deeply afflicted at the sad
intelligence. There were those who fought beside
him-on the field of battle, who averred they saw
him fall in the agony of death, and others who saw
him as he laid PROSTATE on the bloody ground and
all these statements truly confirmed the statement
otherwise made, of his death. The enemy remain =
ed in possession of the field on the day he fell and
there has not been even the consolation Of verify
ing the truth of his DEATH by the sad recovery of
his body. Time passed on-and nothing being
heard from him-all beloved him dead. His FAM
lily donned the habments Of mourning in respect
to his memory. Friends called upon his widow TO
offer sympathy and condolences, and revive atresh
in the minds of ALL the virtues and many qualities
of the deceased. Even the lawyer, who had charge
of his business afairs-dropped in to consult as to
the proper disposition to be made of his property.
One day last week, little over two months since
his reported death, heappeared before his mourn
ing widow, as if just risen from the dead We
drop the curtain here, but will add that the re-

even so much as a scratch. He was sent North
and imprisoned in Fort Delaware, where he has
been under close confinement since. His
treatment was so rigid that he could not gain per-

her of his condition.
There doubt many other cases like this,
and probably more thrilling-which never reach

JERKED BEEF FOR THE ARMY.-There is a
process of curing beef known to Mexicans and old
Texans as ''jerking." The process is simple Cut
the meat int, strips of eight to fourteen inches in
length salt it moderately, then string it u on ropes
in the sun, taking it in at night; in three or four
days it is ready for use. Tie transportation
would be much easier than that of cattle, as it
could be put in barrels, or bales made of "raw
hide" or hickory bark" Beef cured in this
manner is always juicy and palateable. 1t is
healthy. haversack of jerked beef will last
for days without bread Cooking is unnec-
essary as it is as good raw.

4 SINGLE Pound OF COTTON.-The London
Quarterly Review, in article upon cotton spin
ming machines and their inventors thus illustrates
the productiveness of brain and hand, by showing
what machinery enables the cotton spinner to
do with pound ofcettOn:
A manufacturer of Manchester exports what is
called No. $50 yarn in large quantities, for the
of the finest foreign muslin manufacturers. OF
the fneness of this thread some idea may be for
med when we state that two hundred and forty
hanks each eight hundred and fifty yards in length,
spun from single pound weight of cotton, or a
total length of one hundred and fourteen miles
But this does not by any means exhaust the capa-
blties of English machinery, for at the great Ex-
hibtion of 1851, specimens of yarn, spun at Bos-
ton, were exhibited, so fine as No. 500, or equal to
3j4 miles in length, spun from one pound of ma
terial Worked up into The finer kinds of lace,
the rginal shillngs worth of cotton wool, before
it passes into the hands of the consumer, may be
increased to the value of between G300 and 9400.

proper TO state a point of bis character that

bis integrity. Though ho supplied a pulpit
during his college course, he was not Puritan

high position In literary circles; but his oppo.
sition to whatever be consid, r. wrong was o
