SENsIBILITY OF A CoNoUERoR oR-The morning
after the battle of Waterloo, DR.. Hume wait.
ed upon the Duke of Wellington to report the
list of the killed and wounded, and to take bis
directions. He found him worn out with fa-
tgue and buried in deep slumber. When
awakened he was ready for the duty and com.
manded the doctor to read the list which took
him more than an hour. The doctor looked
up at once, aud saw the Irou Duke wringing
his hands in sorrow, while the big tears rolled
down his checks. Though knowing that his
country woald be intoxicated with JOY at what
be had achieved, and would be ready to load
him with its highest honors, he displayed no
thought of personal glory, and no unbecoming
exultation over a fallen enemy, but felt as q
man who had discharged solemn duty at q
painful sacrifice of human life and happiness.

sa- A capital story is told as of an old
farmer in the northern part of this county,
who had been Saving up" to take up mort,
gage of $4,000 held against him by man
nearer the sea shore. The farmer had saved
up all the money in gold, fearing to trust the
banks in these war times. Week before last,
he lugged down his gold and paid it over, when
the following coloquy ensued ...-
why, you, don't mean to give this So, 900
in gold, do you ?" said the lender.
Yes, certainly" said the farmer. al was
afraid of the pesky banks SO I've been saving
up the money, in yellow boys, for this long
time"
All right" responded the lender, " only I
thought you didn't take the papers"
Take the papers No sir, not l. They
have gone on so since the wars been going,
that won't have one of the dish things
around. But the money is all right, isn't it r'
" Yes, oil right, $4,000 in gold. alright
here's your note and mortgage"
And well he might call it all right as the
premium on gold that day was % per cent,
and bis gold was not ouly worth the face of
his bond, but S440 besides, enough to have
paid for his village newspapers for himself and
posterity for ut least three centuries. 1t pays
to take the papers.-NoraodM (Coau. Ca

RICH WITHOUT MoNEY.-Many a man ia
rich without money. Thousands of men with.
out dollar in the pocket are rich. A man
born with good sound constitution, good
stomach, good heart and good limbs, and a
pretty good head piece. is rich Good bones
are better than gold-tough muscles, than sill
yer and nerves that flash and carry energy to
every function, are better than houses and
lands
1t is better than landed estate to have the
right kind of fathers and mothers. Good
breeds exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may do much to
check evil tendencies. or to develop good ones;
brt it is greater thing to inherit the righ pro.
portion of faculties to start with.
The man is rich who has a good disposition
who is naturally kind, cheerful patient,
hopeful. and who has flavor of wit and fun
in bis disposition. The hardest thing to get
along with is mans own self. A cross sci.
fish, desponding and complaining fellow is
tmid, care burdened man-is deformed on the
insde His feet may not limp, but his tho'ts
do.

speaking of raising corn, etc., and the Illinois
man was boasting of the superior yield of prai.

" I'll tell you what, stranger, they truly make
large corn in your clearing, but it aiu't cir.

bottoms. Why, the corn there averages thir.
ty feet in height, with twelve ears to stalk,

JOKE ON GENERAL KELLEY.-The Wheel

ing A pretty good joke is told on General
Kelley, or rather, on the officers of his staff
When the General was after the guerrillas
some time ago. down in Writ and Calhoun
counties, he captured very rebellious young
woman, by the name of Salie Dusky, daugh-
ter of Daniel Dusky. who was sent to the pen.
Tertiary from this city for robbiug the mail at
Ripley, and sister of Captain Andy and
George Dusky. The General, feeling conf
dent that the girl knew the hiding places of
the guerrillas, had private conversation with
her, and during the interview, having failed
to get much satisfaction, he told her if she
would make clean breast of it he would give
her the chance for husband of all the Young
officers in his staff This failed to bring the
information, and Sale was taken away in
charge of Captain Baggs. As she moved away
from the Generals presence, she asked the
Captain if the General was really in earnest
in making the last proposition. Baggs as
sured her that the General was sincere. and
that he would have lived up to bis promise
The girl assumed kind of thoughtful manner,
and after short time replied Well, I be-

poor fellows, whose chances of recovery, with
decent care, were quite good, lay dying of neg
lect in those lonely fields and woods moaning
in their agony as they moved their stiffened
limbs, and thinking of those friends at home
who might yearn for them long but never see
them-frends who would gladly do so much,
if they could only reach them.
Dr. Maury, Ma or in the Confederate army,
at the request of one of the gentlemen who
went with the flag of truce, got permission
from Gen. Lee to have the privilege extended
till the wounded were all got off. The doctor
expressed his belief that they (the Rebels)
would gain Washington within two weeks
Indeed The confidence of these people is aston
shing. Defiant, patriotic, sacrificing every
thing to the cause, undiciplined, but dashing,
ready for any desperate enterprise, and de-
vontedly believing in the capacity of their
Generals to lead them to victory, they march
for days on roasted ears of corn, without
complaint, lie uncovered in the fields, and drink
the water they can find. Our artillery they
fear, therefore all their efforts are to take it.
One of them said There is no instance in
the war of yonr men having charged battery
and taken it of course this is not true, but
ours always manage to do it, 1h. old story
was oft repeated by them about beating the
South but never subjugating it, and they
spoke of future plans with confidence Their
columns aoere pushing for The Upper Potomac,
TO cross orer and raise Maryland, to push on
and tahe Harrisburg IN Pennsylvania, perhaps
Phiiadelphia. We were told that large par
ty of cavalry had left Manassas without bag
gage or other ncumbrance, for an unguarded
point of the river perhaps to swim it, to strike
at the railroads-frst the Baltimore and Ohio,
then Baltimore and Washington. If they
canrot hold them. they propose to destroy ali
in their power, including the blowing up of the
Patapsco bridge, at the Relay House. They
boast of having depots of supplies in Maryland
and large bodies of recruits who will join them
when they arrive All this can be taken for
what it is worth certainly they are in great
force, and in their desperation may do much
mischief before they are finally driven to that
last ditch, so feeling spoken of by their lead
ers.
The story of Sigel's having lost II guns is
entirely false His actual loss in the recent
engage ments is one gun of Johnson's battery,
a rihed cannon of Wards pa ttern, and o srnnll
mountain hawtzer belonging to what is known
as a jackass battery. The desperate fighting
dore by this corps is evidenced:by the loss of
one of its divisions alone in the last three
weeks. Carl Schurz, out of abont 5000, lost
ia actual killed and wounded 1872 men.

THE CINNAMoN CROP IN CEYLoN..-The
cinnamon gardens in the neiShborhood Of
Colombo, although for the most part gone
ts decay nevertheless 'irrpart ttr the wfrofc
scene a singular cheerful and agreeable as
pect. The bushes, from four to six feet
in height, with their smooth, beautiful,
| light green leaves, resembling those of the
bay tree, and their pale yellow flower sta
mems, shoot up douhly fresh and succu-
lent, from the snowwhite quartz soil on
which they best thrive. The towering
season of the cinnamon is in January, and
the fruit ripens in April, when the sap is
richest in the shrub. In May the boughS
are begun to be "barked," which process
continues till October. The pruning and
gathering of the yeafling shoots, which
are about the thickness Of mans hand,
is very iaborious, and employ many hands.
Each labOrer cuts OFT as many as he can
conveniently carry in bundle, then, with
the point of crooked knife, made for the
express purpose, strips the entire rind
from the wood, carefully scrapeS off the
cinnamon rind, now reduced to the thick
ness of parchment, in the sun, where it
dries and curlstogether.
All around the hut in which the peeling
is carried on, is diffused most exquisite
aroma, caused by the breaking of the twigs
and leaves. What is related. however, by
travellers, of the fragrance of the cinnamon
forests, which they scented at a great dis
lance seward, would seem to indicate
that this delicious odor emanatcs from va
rious other aromatic plants in which Cey-
Ion is so rich, rather than the cinnamon
groves, the aroma Of which, indeed, is rot
perceptiblo beyond the immediate vicini-
ty.
The best description of cinnamon is not
so thick as stout paper, and is fine, grain
cd, flexible, light brown or golden yellow,
sweet and pungent; the coarser qualities
are thick skinned, dark brown, acrid,
singing, and leave bitter after taste. In
the warehouses the cinnamon rinds and
canes, sorted for shipping, are piled upon
each other. packed in bales of about 90
pounds weight each, and carefully Sewed.
In all cavities and spaces between each
layer an immense quantity Of pepper is
strewn, to preserve the cinnamon during
its sea voyage, by which both spices are
benefited, the black pepper absorbing all
the superiluous moisture, and gaining by
the fragrance of the cinnamon.

CARSON VALLEY RoAD, Feb. lS, 1862.
Errors DEMOCRAT Understanding
that parties are and have been making all
kinds Of statements in relation to the
Carson Valley and Placerville Wagon
Road, and about parties who have charge
of it, take it upon myself to correct any
false impression as to the real damage,
etc, the road has sustained. Ne person
desiring the reopening and the future
welfare Of the road would miSstate facts
about the. condition, the -,rea.1s were In
during the late storm, and more particu-
larry after the land slides closed the pas
sage to vehicles.
From the hill above BrockliSs' Bridge
west to Strawberry Valley, scarcely Il
ravine or prominent embankment but was
washed out or caved in; flats and small
valleys on the road were cut up, covered
or filled with mud, sand, gravel and large
boulders whose weight can only be esti-
mated by the ton. Various bridges were
swept away on the whole route.
To state that the road could be travel
ed with wagons few days after the slides,
was folly; and to say it could be fixed
in short space Of time for few hun
dred dollars, was misrepresenting the true
state of the road.
The Superintendent is energetic and in
dustrious, and instead of aping other men
in similar positions, he assists with his
own labor the men he has employed in
fact he has been doing so ever since he
has been on the road. He has employed
at the present time twenty men. The
road is now open to PERKINS, for wagons.
BY the latter part of this week it will be
in like condition to the So Mile House,
and in weeks more time, with good
weather, the Superintendent will have it
opened for all kinds of vehicles to Web
Ster's.
Some persons may croak, find fault and
miSstate facts, while cumming around for
position, but no hotel keeper or teamster
would recommend them to be put in
charge of this road.

GEN. DIx's expedition has developed
the fact that the rebels arc badly in want
of ammunition. In lieu Of cannon-balls
chunks Of bar iron were put in bags for
canister, and sometimes almost anything
was used. At one battery, a mixed col
lection was fond, including cobble-stones,
iron candleSlicks, broken bits of machine.
ry, and a general museum of varieties,
sewed up in canvas. One Of the guns
had been burst, probably by the use Of
such missiles. 1t is also said that the
rebels are poorly clothed, poorly fed,
poorly drilled, and completely democrat
lied and cowed. Such being the fact,
they will be defeated by the Federal
troops in the first engagement.
