GRAIN FROM GRAss.-It has long been sus.
pected that the cereal grains are but cult.
waited examples of wild cereal grasses-that
they we're not created as corn, but that they
have been improved by culture into their
present condition. This supposition was
confirmed by NJ. Fabre, of Adge, 10 the
south of France, who, 10 1888, sOwed some
grains of the AgilOps ovata, a common ce.
real grass, and, by successive sowinge in
garden coil, produced, in 1876, crops of
real wheat as fine as any to be found in the
neighborhood. This experiment is now be.
ing carried on by the professor of geology
aud botany In the Royal Agricultural Col
leye, aud the grass is gradually undergoing
the same transformation into the true cere-
oil grain.

THE WAR Nor PoPULAR.-A letter in the
New York Herald, from Beaufort, South
Carolina, says the white rebel prisoners
there, Ofwhich there are several insist that
the war is not popular with the Masses of
the people Of South Carolina. 1t has al
ready impoverished them and cast blight
over society generally, These assertions
are fully corrobOrated by recent letters
found in the rebel camps. From the tenor
of the latter it appears that the drafting of
troops had commenced in South Carolina
in October last.

ExCTEMENT AT RICHMoND.-Great excite
ment was caused at Richmond. lately, by
rumors of the advance of the rebel army of
the Potomac, aud anticipations were freely
INDUCED Of battle soon TO be fOnght be-
tween the contending forces. The Rich
mond papers call Gen. Mcclellan q coward
for not attacking Manassas, and call upon
JEFF. Davis aud the leaders of the rebellion
to advance and annhilate the Federal
troops, and relieve Maryland aud Virginia
Of their presence.

FROM PORT RoYAL-BuRNING or COTTON.
The ICharleston Courier, Of December
9Th, has the following:
We learn from friend that on Wednes-
day night mounted detachment OF the
Beaufort Artillery, under their captain,
amounting TO 22 men. passed over to the
island, visited Beaufort, whose utter desc
lation and abandonment was relieved only
by the presence Of one light aud the bark
ing of dog. There was no signs of the
enemy either on land or on water. Our
men then proceeded TO the work of destruc-
ton. Tae chief object of the expedition
was TO destroy the crops of cotton and pro-
visions on Paris Island. which being near
to the enemy was crowded by the negroes
who had nocked there to escape the control
of their owners. Owing TO the absence of
boats, this object was but partially effected.
A canoe holding three men, passed over
from the battery, and soon consigned 10 the
flames, on DR.. Thomas Fuler's plantation,
20 bales of cotton and 700 bushels Of corn.
Returning to the battery plantation, the
work was resumed, and the torch success
sively applied to the cotton of IL other
planters, while the contents Of five barns
were emptied by the negroes and consumed
on the ground. Seventeen crops, amount
ing to nearly 400 bales we're thus effectu
ally removed from the fangs of the de-
strOyer. The portions OF the island most
exposed are safe. The remainder can easily
be secuI ed-perhaps is already past their
reach, as two distinct parties went over on
Saturday night, and large fire was dis
tinctly visible near midnight

The PleI.et-Guard.

GAN quiet along the Potomac" they say,
Except, now and then, stEay picket
Is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,
BY a riheman hid in the thicket.
.Tis nothinR-a private OF two, now and then,
Will not count in the news of the battle
Not an officer iost-only one of the men
Moaning out, all alone, the death rattle.
All quiet along the Potomac tonight,
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming;
Their tents in the rays Of the clear autumn moon
Or the light of the watch-hre, are cleaning,
A tremu Ous sign, as the gentle night wind
Through the forest-leaves softly Is creeping
While stars up above, with their glttering eyes,
Keep guard-for the army is sleeping.
There ouly the sound fthe lone sentry's tread
As he tramps from the rock to the fountain,
And thinks oil the two In the low truncle-bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain.
His musket falls slack-his face dark and grim,
Grows gentle with memories tender,
As he mutters prayer for the children asleep
For their mother may Heaven defend her
The moon seems to shine just as brightly as then,
That night when the love yet unspOken
Ieaped up TO his lips-when low-murmured VOWS
Were pledged TO be ever unbr0ken.
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes,
He dashed of tears that's are yelling,
And gathers his gun closer up to Its place,
Az Il to keep down the heart-swelling.
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree,
The footstep Is tagging and weary
Yet onward he goes, through the broad belt OF
light,
Toward the shade Of the forest so dreary.
Hark was It the nlght-wind that rustled the
leaves
Was II moonlight so wondrouslY flashing
II looked like rihe-"Ha Mary. good bye J.,
And the lfe.blood is ebbing and FLASHED.
All quiet along the Potomac tonight,
No sound save the rush Of the river
While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead
The pcket's of duty forever. Z.
