What a Woman's Temper Did.

Poets have tuned their Tyres thousand
times 10 sing the praise of lovely woman,
and gentle woman and all kinds o? wo-
man, except the bad tempered species.
Southern bards have portrayed in rain
bow colors the noble qualities Of mind
and heart that go TO make up the ESQ
cesh" woman. A near approach To the
ideal female Of DIXIE is the wife Of n
wealthy farmer named Norris, living in
the kanawha Valley, about twelve miles
this side Of Charleston. If she has one
peculiar trait of character more notice
able than other it is hatred of Yankees
and Yankee soldiers Toward the chiy-
airy, she is generous to a fault" ever
ready to entertain and comfort them
whenever they honor her with visit.
A couple ofweeks since Col Paxton in
command Of the Second Virginia Cavalry,
while returning from an encounter with
Jenkins, at Barboursevlle, Va heard
that a number of guerrllas belonging to
HerridOn's band had been accommodated
with lodging and breakfast at Morris
house. The Colonel rode up and ques-
toned Mr.. Morris on the subject. The
wary farmer stoutly denied The assertion
that the rebels had been at his house, at
the same time asseyerating his deyo-
ton to the Union and his love for its de-
tenders. At this point, Mrs. NJ. came
running out, in state ofeXcitement that
made her obliviOus of the fact that she
was attired in her nocturnal habliments,
and said to Col. Paxton 1T amt no
no such thing. We had fifty Southern
men here last night, and we treated
them as well as we knew how, too. Wen
do il again-thars more. We amt Yam
KEGS we're Suuthcrncrs-thanItG God for
it," The husband tried in vain TO res
train his better half but to no purpose
She was about to turn on him with her
perpetual motion tongue, when the Colo
mel brought her little to her senses by
telling n number Of his men to burn the
house TO the ground, at the same time
advising Mrs. M. TO remove all her valu-
ablos from the impending conGagration.
The lady's temper again came to the
rescue. She said she would not touch a
single thing in the house; that the infer
nal Yankees might burn her and her
house too, if they wished. The domicilc
was fired. But the sbctter Judgment of
the husband did what the bad temper of
the wife refused TO do. He removed all
the furniture in time TO save il from the
flames. Mr.. Morris was heard to say a
few days ago, alluding TO this circum-
stance, MY wile's lounge burned my
house, and will yet be the death Of me-,

DRAru Of HERO IN THE INDIAN WAE.
One of the most heroic dcfcnccs
against the Indians, now waging an ex-
terminating war in Minnesota, was made
by a small party, consisting Of Mr.
Footc, his wife, aud two other men and
their wives. They had left their houses
and taken refuge in deserted log hut,
where they were soon surrounded by
fifteen Indians. M. Foote, who Of the
men appeared to be the only one who
showed any disposition TO fight the
Indians, killed two Of them after he, had
been wounded. His wife took his place
and fired the rifle rs often as he could
load it for her. Thus she defended the
house seven hours against the remaining
thirteen, and after waiting thirty-six
hours for help, left her husband, and at
his earnest request, 10 save the children
and find help. After she lett, ne lay two
days and nights in untold horrors, max
ing every effort TO take his own life, UNI
ill he was rescued by a nablc Swedish
woman, who brought him on her back to
Forest City, where his mother went Ia
him with DIR. Palmer and brought him
to St. Cloud. Here he found his wife and
children, but in defiance Of the tender
est care he died His wife was several
days and nights making her way through
The woods and swamps before reaching

Mr. Pontcz, a civil engineer, has \ plan
for harbor defence, Of constructing mid
water batteries with revolving towers.
These, it is asserted, would possess all
the Advantages of a land battery, with
out being subject TO attack by land
force. The plan has been approved by
many of the best engineers and scientific
men, and is TO be brought before the Com
mittee on National Affairs. The battery
proposed is thus described: "A hollow
iron cylinder Of any desired dimen-
sion, say fifty feet diameter This is
sunk to depth Of forty feet through the
water and sand beneath, then lined with
heavy masonry and divided into five
iloors or decks Its constructed in such
manner that the interior is as dry and
the condition within equal to that of the
hold Of q sea-going vessel Of the largest
size. These floors or decks are each 10
cover an era of about twelve hundred
square feet, together equal TO a plane
surface Of six thousand square fect--a
space amply sufficient The upper por-
tion Of the cylinder above the water
level is surmounled by one or more re-
volying arched towers, which are covered
with an unlimited thickness of metal. to
render them impregnable.'

Terrible Distress and Suffering in
The Rebel Arm :.

The Rebel forces by the help Of
green corn, green apples pumpkins
and potatoes have managed to exc
out a tolcrably fair subsistence from
the porishablc growiuiug crops, and
have been able TO make long and
wcarisomc marches without those intern
mablc trains Of supplies the excess Of
which has been the curse and impedi-
ment Of our army Still those inlatua-
ted and misguided creatures are suffer-
ing already 10 an extent which will
hardly be deemed possible in this land Of
abundance. Hundreds are perishing by
diseases caused by waBt of proper food
and clothing and thousands more are
contracting ncurable diseases from the
same cause. We learn these facts from
the statements Of rebel soldiers them
selves. An officer of the Dawson County
Guards writes under date Of September

land Gap, TO thc Atlanta Intcllgcnccr,
