The Eccentricity of Cannon. Balls.
'annon-balls. .then,a are beyond doubt unplea-

Cannon-bails.t s.then.are beyond doubt unplea-
SAINT objects; and Vet, would it be believed.
they have their little eccertricities, Just Ike
other impulsive objects. For instance, az
the fearful momentum at which cannon-ball
travels. it would be supposed that upon
striking a man it would instantane auslv dash
him to the ground, even though it did not
kill or otherwise injure its unfortunate
target. 1t not unfrequently happens, how
ever, that a eannon-ball kills person
without affecting his balance for several
minutes after ne has been struck. Such an
instance occurred at the battle of Solferino.
where a young French officer, belonging to
that splendid corps les ckasseurs de lin
cennes, while in advance of his company,
dancing gaiy backward, his face TO his troops,
his sword extended across his knees as
though at review, had his head carried off
by ball from the Austrian batteries !: and
yet, strange to say, his lfeless body retained
its upright position for at least several
moments, until caught in the arms of his
faithful but sorrowing troops, At the siege
of Vienna, also, a Turkish general had his
head knocked off by cannon-ball. and the
trunk in which, of course, the vital spark had
been instantly extinguished, was carried a
considerable distance by his horse before it
fell. Captain Nolan, too, who was killed in
the Crimea, still retained his erect position.
seeming still the embodiment of the gallant
horseman that he had ever been, several
minutes after he was struck lifeless bv a
tcn-inch shell.
Again, it would be supposed that a cannon
ball, striking aperSon and knocking him
down, would as invariable kill or severely
inIure him. This then, is eccentricity num-
Der two, for this is by no means invariably
the consequence. As most singular case
in point. it may be allowed to introduce an
incident mentioned by Southey in his
'Peninsular War The incident occurred to
Sir James Leith at TIE siege of San Sebastian,
and cannot be better told than in the very
words Of the narrator a plunging shot, says
Southey. struck the ground near the spo;
where Sir James was standing, rebOunded.
struck him on the chest, and iald him pros
trate and senseless. The officers near
thought that certainly ne was killed but he
recovered breath, and then recollection, and
resisting all entreaties to quit the field, con-
tinued to issue his orders In short,it merely
stunned him for the moment, producing no
unpleasant after effects whatsoever. a
cannon-ba, then. in its eccentric character,
can be regarded by the curious with consider
ably less dread and repugnance, particularly
in eccentricity number two; but with it:
matter-of-fact character returns its old
reaommee of horror, and it is again thing
| to be abhorred.- d.-Harper's MONTHLY.

4 Daring Rebel.

y letter from Nashville gives the following
account of John Morgan, the bold rebe!

in the act Of retreating. S!lrt after shot was
fired after him, but he seemed TO bear
charmed life. We lost sight of him until
just before we left Cairo, when he appeared
one night suddenly AMI shot two of our
picketS. Again he appeared at Bacon
Creek. Ky, and burat the railroad bridge
under McCook's nose, shot one of his p:ekets,
and rode off before the army had recovered
from lis surprise. You remember hi. bold
attack upon cur lines on SATURDAY.. the S;h
of March, in Mitchell's division. and again
on Sunday morning. at daylight, upon Nc
Cooks camp, on the Franklin pike. The very
same Sunday. this Morgan, disguised as
countryman. and dressed in butternut-ealarei
clothes. obtained a pass from Gen Mitchell,
who did not know him, and had the audacitv
to dine at the City Hotel in company with
our Own officers, making good his escape
with perfect aonchalaRce. He came VERY
near capturing Gen Nelson one dav last
week. The plot was discovered in time 10
be frustrated, but not to catch the rogue.
He has since captured the railroad train
running between Louisville and Nashville at
Gallatin. taking thirty bridge-builders
prisoners, but releasing them, as he seeks
higher game. He has boas:ed that he viii
catch one of our generals as an Offset TO
Buckner. he being Buckner's especial favor
ite. He has offered a reward of $1,000 TO
any citizen or officer who wall catch him or
his steed, and. strange TO say, disguised, has
made these bets openly before our officers,
who at the time did not know him. Such is
Col John Morgan. the famous rebel scout,
who though he deserves hanging, Vet wins
admiring opinions from enemies as well as
friends for his daring"

H Rid and Parks were requested to act as
Secretaries
A Committee was appointed, consisting of the fol-
lowing persons viz: W Barnett, W S Prather and
Reid to draft resolutions for the action of the
ing, when the following resolutions were reported
and unanimously adopted:
We, portion of the citizens of Meckenburg county,
believing that is the duty of the people ali times
to keep eye the action of our members in Con-
gress and the legislative bodies our beloved State
and further that it becomes the people in revolu-
tIonary times, like the present, only watch we'll
their representatives but to act promptly whenever
they perceive them to be unathful in the discharge
their duties Such action the part of the sovereign
people would, in opinion, have warded off in
great measure the present alarming condition of
beloved country. What do going on now In our
State at the present time? Men whom the people have
placed in power assuming an authority delega-
ted to them; for instance they propose altering the
Constitution without pursuing the prescribed
by that nsument, whose provisions they sworn to
obey In view of such facts We the citizens of Sharon
Beat
Resolve, lst. That in opinion the people of North
Carolina should not submit to any alteration in the
Constitution of the State unless that
which Is prescribed an that instrument. (See Amend
ments to Constitution. 9TH, sections lst and I'D
I'd. That it is the duty of Congress construct
destroy railroads canals whenever the interests of
Conederacy demands such action for military pur-
poses.
Sd. That such appropriations should be made n, will
secure the manufacture of arms sufficient every
bodied man between the ages of Is and SO years.
and the eonstru ction of sufficient number of vessels
to protect interests the inland waters of our
coast and that manufactures of be established
every available point, and there fbanderies
in the town of Charlotte capable of casting guns of any
calibre desired and sufficient number of gunsmiths in
this and the adjoining counties for the manufacture of
small arms, would recommend said town as a
suitable place for such establishment.
4ih That the conduct of our Chief Magistrate, Gov.
Clark meets our hearty approval despite the chickering's
and cavngs of the Convention and we have full
fdence that he will faithfully discharge the duties of
the position he occupies.
9Th. That the Convention called together for
specific purpose viz to pass ordinance of secession
from the old government-that object having been
compshed and the duties incident thereto it should
have been abolished
9Th That do most earnestly desire the citizens of
the Militia Beats throughout the State to express
these subjects explicit and unequivocal opinion.
7th. That the above resolutions be published in the
Charlotte papers, and that papers throughout the State

CHARLESTON, Jan. 2.-Fighting on the Coast
began yesterday. $500 of the enemy Ian ded on
the mainland, near Port Royal Ferry, and were
met with the bayonet by two Regiments, when
the Yankees fed precipitately, throwing down
their arms, and were driven to their boats. The
boat howitzers opened fire, killing and wound
ing y Caroliniaus. The enemy's loss was about
the same. To-day the enemy landed in much
larger force at the same place. Gen. Greggs

New FLAa.-Al the Regiments at Manassas have
been presented with battle flag. When one of
the Colonies complained that his flag little faded
Cen Beauregard told him take it and dye it in the
blood of his enemies. A correspondent speaks of the
flag follows:
at found from experience that the national Con-
federse Flag was very hard to distinguish distance
from the United States flag, hence the reason why
battle flag has been adopted. The battle flag is
about three and half feet long by three wide. 1t is
made out of red silk. which is bordered around with
yellow fringe Extending diagonally from
ner to corner two bars of blue silk about four in
ches wide, which form like an X, and in this
cross are placed eleven white The flag is very
beautiful one, and hope may be adopted

We think it would be much better than the present
Confederate flag. The Stars and Bars are too much
like the flag used and disgraced by the Lincolnites.
