A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ca
zette, writing from near Somerset, KY,
tell these incidents regarding the lOngeV-
ity prevalent t~hereabOuts:
awe dined at the house of old Mr..
Evans, a few miles beyond the ohurch-in
a house where he had lived sixty. five
years. He is now eighty years old. The
old man regrets the passage Of time, and
yearns for the good old corn-huskings, log
raisings and Saturday night frolics. Of
ten children but one is at home and he
has been a widower for thirty years. He
thinks that people are not so happy now
as they used TO be; They are all intent
on making money, and good neighbors
are mighty scarce His farm appeared
very neat and well cultured.
"Farther on we asked a man at a spring
for a cup of water. On climbing the fence
he remarked, sp~ologetically, that he was
not as spry as he was. On enquiring his
age, he said he was only sixty-he looked
scarUe fUrty. Where do synu ALL 90 from
this country when you want to die, 1 ask
ed. s0hI'. said he, I've don't want to die,
but they do sometimes. My father died
only ninety-seven years old, a few months
ago. and named over several OF his neigh
b9rs who had been ~prematurely hurried
of at the ages of eighty, ninety, one hun
bred, ETC., etc. We hastened on, lest long
evity might be contagious. There are no
| schools and but few churches in the Noun
tains. Scarce one in ten, old oryoung, can
read or write, and, strange to say, l have
heard no regrets at the fact, or desire to
change.
The life of these peOpleis purely physical,
conducting chiefly to the perfection of the
digestive and reproductive functions. They
are loyal to the Government from habit
and from constitutional disinelination to
innovation or change Of any kind. Their
habits are regular, diet simple, and luxu-
ries few. These together with the pure wa
ter and fresh mountain air, combine to
produce ahardy, vigorous race. WOlfOrd's,
and other Kentucky cavalry regiments, are
composed of these elenents.

An amusing incident occurred during
GriersOn's raid through Mississippi. Cap
tain Forbes, with 8 company of thirty-hve
men, having been absent on special service,
was wrongly informed that the main body
had gone to Enterprise, on the Mobile and
Ohio Road. he proceeded to that place
when he found himself confronted with
S,OOOrebe troops. He Immediately rode
forward with a flag of truce and demand
ed the surrender Of the town in the name
Of Colonel GriersOn, (of whose wberea-
bouts he had not the slightest idea.) A
correspondent says that the commanding
rebel of6cer-Colonel GoodBin-asked one
hour TO consider the pruPUsitiOn, and wish-
ed to know where Captain Forbes would
be at that time. The Captain answered
that he would go back with the reply to
the reserve-which he did pretty rapidly,
after having shrewdly ascertained the
strength Of the enemy. It is not known
whether Enterprise ever surrendered or
not, or whether the rebel Colonel is still
trying to find the preserve" to make his
psnitent boW,-but one thing certain is
that Captain Forbes, with his little squad
Of thirty-fVe men, did not intend to take
those 1900 gebels prisoners-thGt time at
ksst-and was laughing in his sleeve many
miles of while those Enterprise-ing peo-
pie were trembling in their boots-id est
IL at the present fabulous price Of leather,
they had any boots to tremble in.
