A Plea for Certain Offenders,

In the book called "My Southern Friends,
there is defense by one Jake Larkin of q
wretched negro driver called Mulock, the
homely philosophy of which may be ap,
piled to the case Of other offenders:
"Now, fur bein' both moan an fool, ]
low he orter be punished. But doant ye
kill him, gentlemen Guv it ter him 'cordin'
ter his natur' an his merits. Just look al
him. Hev ye ever seed sech face, am
sech an eye SIS that in AIRY human bein' ?
Why, his eye ar jest like snakes; an it's
natral, ye knows, for snakes ter crawl; the
karn't do nuthin' else, an the hain't ter
blame fur it. No more ye karn't blame
Mulock fer bein' whot he ar. So guv him

natur' an his merits; but doan't ye take

The Age of Man.

Few men die of age. Almost all persons
die of disappointment, passional, mental
or bodily toll, or accident. The passions
kill men sometimes even suddenly. The
common expression, chokcd with pas
sion" has little exaggeration in it, for even
though not suddenly fatal, strong passions
shorten life. Strong g-bodied men often die
young; weak men live longer than the
strong, for the strong use their strength
and the weak have none to use-the latter
take care of themselves the former dc
not. AS it is with the hody so it is with the
mind and temper. The strong are apt to
break, or like the candle, run--the weak
burn out.
The inferior animals which live temper.
ate lives have generally their prescribe term
ofyears. Thehorse lives twenty-five years
the OK fifteen or twenty, the lion about
twenty, the hog ten or twelve, the rabit
eight, the Guinea pig six or seven. The
numbers all bear proportion to the time the
animal takes to grow to it's full size.
But man of all animals, is the one that
seldom comes up to the average He ought
to live hundred years, according to this
physiological law-for five times twenty
are one hundred but instead of that he
scarcely reaches an averageof four times
the growing period. The reason is obvi-
ous-man is not only the most irregular
and the most Incorporate, but the most la
bUrious and hard-worked Of all animals,
lie is always the most irritable of all ami
mails and there is reason to believe,
though we can not tell what an animal Sc
cretly feels, that, more than any other an.
imal, man cherishes wrath to keep it warm
and consumes himself with the fire of his
own reflection.

LOYALTY Defined.

In the July numder of the Ne,c Fnoluad,r
there is an article from the pen of Dr. Bush.
nell, which contains the following admira.
ble and eloquent definition of Loyalty.
The whole article is most apt and meet for
the times
Loyalty is no subject ot law or legal de.
fnition. II belongs entirely to the moral
department of life. Ii is what a man thinks
and feels and contrives, not as being com.
manded, but of his own accord, for his
country aud his couutrys honOr--his great
sentiment, his deep and high devotion, the
fire of his habtual or unborn homage to
his countrys welfare. 1t goes before all
constitutions, and goes by the letter of all
statutes. to do and suffer, out of the spou-
taneous liberties of right feeling, what the
petty constructions and lnggard judgments
OF the State cannot find to compel. 1t does
not measure itself by what the Constitution
or the laws prescribe. 1t has no art of con
triving for itself and others. how to hide
from the country behind the Constitution.
1t loves what the Constitution loves, and
Keeps Il only the morn nationally that it will
even die for its objects

For Nnllan,liCham

1t is known that tho Chattanooga Rebel
nominated Nallandigham for Governor of
Ohio it is known also that he has the
moral support of all tho rebels e( she South,
and that they would all vote for him if
they could. lie has also the support of
rebel sympathi2ers at the North. This is a
combination of powerful influences, sulli-
cient to call ont oil the energies Of the
people Of Ohio, who naturally enough de.
sire for Governor a man not so universally
popular with she enemies of the Government.
But still another powerful influence has
been added to the Vallandigham column.
The London Times, comes manfully to
his support. Now, if all these things do
not conrincc tho people of Ohio that Val
landigham is the man that should be over.
whelmingly defeated; and that it is their
mission, in connection with the prevailing
war, to crush him and his political whip
persin by load of Union ballots, then
the people aforesaid are fit only to be slaves
to jeff. Davis and, walters upon that great
enemy to American liberty--the London
Times.
By tho way, the Times article most mop.
portunely, brings out that passage of Val
landghnm's address, in which he speaks of
the united determination OF the people of
the South, never to be defeated that is to
say, men, women and Children are united
upon this point. Now the North Carolina
article, which we publish, does not confirm
this statement. On the contrary, it rcfutes
it. In fact, people reading tho Raleigh
Standard production, will be very apt to be
forced however reluctantly, TO the con-
clusion that Saliandigham--lied. There
fore, it is unfortunate for the rebel cause in
Ohio that the London Times article should
appear on tho same day with tho North
Carolina deliverancc.- Gin. Gazette.

SCENE IN a CHURCH III INDIANA.-H. P.
Tuttle, of Eagleville, relates an occurrence
in a church in Indiana. Several women
were in attendance three weeks ago, wear
ing the secession badges
"On coming cut of ch urch at noon a
Miss Jumper remarked to an intimate friend
whose name was Dollarhide that she would
appear much better in church without that
butternut pin, whereupon Miss Dolarhide
drew large dirk and struck at her, but
the blow was warded off. She then ed
vanced and struck again. This blow cut
off all the cords and nerves on the inside of
the left arm. She struck a third time, a
part OF the dirk striking on the breast bone.
At this moment they were separated by the
friends of Miss Jumper. The preacher
stood in the door, witnessing the whole
scene. When it was over ke swung his
hat and shouted at the top of his voice,
Three cheers for Miss Dollarhide.'
"The next Sabbath after the above scene
was enacted twenty-five ladies appeared
at charce with pistols and boBie-Alives in
their belts"

How chanceIIorsviIle was Lost.

Rev, EenrJ Ward Beecher, in recent
speech made at Temperance Breakfast
given him in London, is reported to have
said
If it were fit, he M Beechcrl could
point 10 several great misfortunes which
had befallen the North on the field owing
entirely to the drunkenness Of officers.
The battle of Chancellorsville was lost
from this cause ; but he had heard It from
almost direct authority that the General
thus implicated. knowing his weakness,
had been previously absTaining but that
having received severe Confusion he had
been prescribed whisky incidentally, and
It was when taking il for this purpose that
the old appetite had been revived and
bad oYercO.re hire.

The London Times has taken up Yallan-
digham, and cndeavors to manufacture a
hero and patriot ont of him. The Ne,os,
in scathing article, replies to the Times,
shows how eagerly it defends and praises
every obscure traiter and GcPperhead it
can find to scrve its purpose, and shows
tho inconsistency of the Times in whining
about the necessity of preserving the
American Constitution, when only q few
months ago, it proposed that Gen. Mcclellan.
should destroy it by force, and assume a.
military dictatorship. The remarks of the
News arc not only pointed, but Just, and
show that its conductors are fully alive to
the completely Of VslEludisham and the
other Copperhead leaders with tho traitors

JoHN BuNYAN AND MISoE-PIEs.-It is said
that John Bunyan scrupled to eat mince-
pies, because of the superstitious character
popularity attached to them but it would
appear, from an anecdote sent to us by a
correspondent, that if this was true at al
of the author of the Pilgrims Progress,
he must have received new light upon the
subject at a later period of life When he
was imprisoned for preaching ESQ says the
anecdote), in Bedford Jail, superstitious
lady, thinking to entrap him, sent servant
to request his acceptance of Christmas
pie. Whereupon Bunyan replied

present thankfully, for have learned to
distinguish between mince-pie and super
stition."

The denunciations of the rebel tyranny in
North Carolina are much moro significant
than denunciations of our Government BY
the malcontents of tho North. Here there
has always been freedom of discussicn and
no check to assaults upon the Government :;
but i'll the South it has been different.
When, therefore, We hear from the Legisla-
turc, the Bench and the Press ,nYenaces and
assaults upon the Confederate authorities.
It is good sign that Confederate power is
down, ard that the people are not only dis
satisfied, but deeply so and so extensively
as to make it impossible for Jcf Davis to.
repress their uttcranccs.

The Depth of Space.

In 1887, Professor Bessel, of Germany
commenced a series Of astronomical meas
ures for getting the oxact distance of the
fixed stars, a thing tina had Eever been done
The instrument which he used, i'll connec
tion with powerful telescope in his ex'
periments, was called lIeliometer (sun,
measurer) After three years hard labor
he was so fortunate as to obtain par2llax
but so minute, that he could hardly trust
his reputation upon it. But after repeated
trials and working out of the result, he was
fully satisfied that he could give the true
distance to 81 Cygm. But who can COM
prehend the immense distance? We can
only convey an idea to the mind of this dis
tance, by the fact that light, which travels
100000 of miles in a minute, requires
not less than ten years to reach us! Just
let any one try to take in the idea. One
hour would give 720000,000 of miles; one
year, then-8, ,T60 hours-this gives 6,307,-
00,000,0OO, and this multiplied by ten,
gives 63,072 100000, 900. This, according
to Bessel, is the distance of the nearest
fixed star to the sun. All astronomers COLI
firm the correctness of Prof Bessels calcu-
lations But this distance, great as it is is
nothing compared to the distance of the
Milky Way. Sir William Herschel says
that the stars or suns that compose the
Milky Way are so very remote, that it re-
quires light, going at the rate of 10000, 600
of miles in minute, 10000 years to reach
the earth. And he says there are stars, or
rather nebule, five hundred times more re-
mote! Now make your calculation: 100000
years reduced to minutes, and then multi
ply that sum by 10000, 900, and the product
by 500. What an overwhelming idea The
mind sinks under such thought we can't
realize it it is too vast for comprehension
