Curious Alpine Experiences

Professor TynGall sends US for publication
some curious Alpine experiences of Mr.
Robert Spencer Watson and his party in
the region Of the Jungfrau. The sudden.
ness Of tho atmospheric changes will recall
the similar observations of Mr.. Whymper
on tho Malterhorn, recorded in our pages a
fortnight ago. Mr.. Watson says: -"On the
, 10th of July visited the Col de Ia Jungfrau
| from tho Eggishhorn, in company with my
wifo and Mossrs. John SoNerbs and ". G.
Adams, Of Marlborough College We had
with us guides, j, NJ. Claret, of Chamounix,
and young man from the hoto!. The car.
ly morning was bright, and gave promise of
fino day, but, as We approached the Col,
clouds sottlod down upon it, aud on reaching
it we encountered so severe storm OF wind
snow and hail, that wo wore unable to stay
more than u fow minutes. Ai we do
secluded, the snow continued to fall SO dense.
ly that we lost our way, and for some time
NO were wandering up tho Lotsch Sattel
We had hardly discovered our mistake wher
a loud peal of thunder was heard, and short
: ly after observed that strange sineint
sound like that Of kettle was issuing frou
my a'pen stock. We halted, and, finding
that all the axes and stocks emitted the
] same sound, stuck them into the snow -
b The guide from the hotel now pulled off hi

manner. Tho snow gave out hissing ,
ID though heavy shower of hail wore falling
j. the veil on tho wide awake of one of III

Campbell's .'Hohenllnden."

Every Eoglishman remembers Campbelrs
noble poem of "Hohenlinden )" but few per-
haps ha9 considered until Sir Edward Gust
led the way, how entirely that poem mis-
represents all the circumstances of the bat
tle which it has made so famous. 1t is about
as near the fact as is David's celebrated pic
ture of Bouaparte crossing tha Alps on
prancing charger to the reality of the pas
sage of the ST. Bernard. Tho essence of
the poetical Hohenlinden is a night attack /;
but the true battle of Hehenlinden began at
eight or nine o'clock in the morning 1t is
very likely that the river Iser flows swift
and dark in winter, but it flows many miles
from HolenlinIen It does, indeed, wash
tho walls of Munich, and banners may have
been waved upon those walls nor would
their waving have had less influence upon
the battle because invisible, through dis
tance from the scene. The only feature
common to the real and the imaginary spec-
tacle was the snow, which fell heavily during.
although it did not cover the ground before
the battle. Perhaps the poet never beard
tina ,slush and mud were the allies OF Franco.
at Holenlindcn, and that Moreau won tho
battle By judging accurately how long his
assailaut would stick and struggle in the
forest. paths, where it was no more possible
to rush to glory than it is to gallop over an
Alpine ridge.

RELIGION BAD THING FOR SLAvEs-The
Richmond Whig remarks upon the pernie-
ious influence which religious instruction
has npon the slaves in Virginia, and, by
way of example, relates that
Upon tho last appearance of the Yankees
at fredericksburg the only negroes who
went off with them when they retired, we're
those who belonged to, or wore frequenters
of, tho African Church there. The negro
Holland, noticed elsewhere as under arrest
for writing passes for slaves to escape to
tho Yankees, was pillar in an African
Church in this city, and leader in the
choir. At his room was found a music
tuning fork, aud O variety of music aud
prayer books
This is bad for the Christian religion
Those negroes don't seem to understand
Paul and Onesimus as the Rev. DIR. Palmer
does. They ought to establish Bible Re-
vision Society in Richmond, to eliminate
from the Scriptures the anti slavery ele-
ment, which, no doubt, perverted the minds
and hearts of these boDdsmen.-Ch'eega

His face, very strange,
Al once made q change,
though "bluen In despair u was seen,
From his heel TO his head
A hue quickly spread
Az n chameleon ned been;

Just So

Blue VANISHED from every face
Twas right, then, of course
The people endorsed,
though bread and all went upapace
And gold ran wonderful race.
Now this that befel,
Had been very well,
Had rival not opened next door;
But you know, now and then,
That moneys ape men,
And do what they've seen done before,
No more
A fact which the folks plainly saw.
This next Secretary
Was all military,
And the bank he established, the same.
His fortunes were made,
By General Trade,
Hk issues should add too his name
And fame,
And thus he ran on In this strain
'rwixt cup and the lip
There's many slip
Folks straight made q bank OF their own,
And Issued o motto

Fresh, blooming and scarcely yet blown.

This nrm, though high, in its station,
Determined that bo

COUNTERFEITS.
From the Weekly Herald.l

Acurous document supposed TO have boon found In ono
Of the deserted camps Of tho Army Of tho Potomac
wherein the poet expreeh his indignation al Secretary
dsantons military banking system.
The daily Evansville journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1862-1863, 1863-06-20
From Memphis.

MEMPHIS, June 10 (Uia Cairo In
the fight between Johnston and Grant
on the 9th of June, about 700 Confed-
crate prisoners were captured, $50 of
whom arrived here yesterday, From
one of the prisoners, former resident
OF this city, it is learned that Johnston
in that engagement had $4,000 men,
Jonston could not hold his position.
A man has arrived from the interior
of this State, who is directly from the
rear of Vlcksburg, who says that john
ston can do nothing toward dislodging
Grant with his present force-that in
every attack he has suffered severe loss
in killed and wounded.
Two gentlemen from the rear of
Prices army, who left on the 9th, say
that officer had a large force in the
vicinity of Milliken's Bend, and that he
was destroying cotton, cotton sheds, and
gins in all directions.
The Warrior brings news from Vicks-
burg up to the 18th. Guerrillas had
landed on the cotton plantations back of
Miliken's Bend, capturing negroes, and
burned considerable number of cotton
sheds, gins, and farming utensils.
The rebels were all driven off De Soto
Point last Thursday, by gun and mortar
boats.
The river is rising, with plenty of wa
ter to Vicksburg.

COMPARATIVE HEALTH OF EVANSVILLE

COMPARATIVE HEALTH OF EVANSVILLE
Many persons living in other parts of
the State have an impression that the
city of Evansville is an unhealthy local
ity. To persons visiting here during
the summer season, when that crying
nuisance, the Wabash and Erie Canal,
is in its most CHASTITY appearance, such
an impression would be natural An
examination, however, of the mortuary
registers of the several cemeteries of the
city will show that the sanitary condi-
ton of Evansville compares favorably
with that of any city of like size in the
State.
The whole number of interments from
the city during the year ending May 1st,
1868, was 266 of whom 224 were in
TERED in Oak Hill and Locust Hill GEM
eteries, 50 in the Catholic cemetery, and
I in the Hebrew cemetery
This, out of population of $4,000, is
less than two per cent; and in this
number are included those who, coming
off steamboats, at this place, and dying,
are buried in our cemeteries.
The greatest number of deaths in any
month occurred in September, 1862, and
in January, 1868, being % for each
