Dcsolation in Mississippi.

The whole country from Milliken's Bend

Of so miles, is one "abomination Of desola
tion." 1t has been an earthly paradise, lordly
palaces filed with pictures, statues, and arti
cles Of vertu. Beautiful gardens, teeming
with floral beauties. are now all laid waste.
In those magnificent halls, where Southern
beauty and chivary were wont to revel and
drink deep Of the red wine of pleasure, soldiers

built out Of rosewood chairs and curiously
carved furniture, sleep on cotton beds worth
$50 each. Q. AZ any Lowell mill and

Among these rich nabobs, mono exceled the

still fragrant with acres Of roses When Gen.

the Magnolia, one Of the largest boats on t. G
river, put his most valuable slaves, pictures,

5000 bales Of burning cotton and granaries OF
corn. His house, with its furniture, which
cost 100000 in Paris, and the houses OF his
overseers, all were fired, while he stood on

A Desperate Attempt at German.

10 Hoods " Up the Rhine poor Mr.
Markham, who is an invalid at Coblentz, oc
casionally amuses himself with the attempts
Of his wife to con- municate with the Germans
they meet in their travels. "You must know"

that, as was an invalid l could cat nothing
but boiled fowl. The only difficulty was
how to get at il; for our maid did not under
stand English, and her mistress cannot sperk
anything else. However, Grettle was sum
moned, AMI the experiment .cgan. 1t is one
Of my wife's fancies that the less her words
resemble her native tongue, the more they
must be like the German. So her first at
tempt was to tell the maid she wanted q
checking or keeking. The maid opened her
to cook said her mislress; 10 put in an iron
thing-in pit--pat-pot-pet.' 'Ich un-
dersland nicht,' said the maid, in her Coblentz
patois. It's thing to eat said her mis-
tress, for dinner-for deener-with sauce
soase--sowse.' Sill the maid shook her head !.
"'What on earth an, to do? exclaimed
my poor Harriet, quite in despair, but still
making one last attempt

Some time since we pubisoed brief ac-
couil of the discovery of human remains, in
state of good Preservation, IN house in Pom
pei. Interesting particulars Of the rccen re-
searches are giving by correspondent of the
london Atben"um, who says that the human
bodies were found in an excavation near the
house called that of Abondanza. Falling in
mass of pumice stone, these unfortunate per-
song had not become attached TO the soil !,
and it was easy to cut away the ground be.
water had been rained upon them from the
fiery mountain, causing their death, and in.
snrng their preservation for nearly two thous-
and years. On removing the debris, which
consisted of the roof rnd ashes which hrd
fallen into the interior Of the bouse, something
like human form was discovered, th ough
nrothing but fine powder was visible, il occur
to Cavaliar Florelli that this might be a kind
of sarcophagus created by Vesuvious, and
that within were the remains Of one Of the
victims Of that terrible eruption. but how to
remove or preserve tbeml A happy idea
struck him. Plaster Of Paris was poured into
an apeture, tho interior having been discovered
to be hollow 10 consequence Of the destruction
Of the flesh, and mixind with and uniting with
the bones, restored to the world Roman lady
Of the first century. o.
Further researches led the discovery of a
male body, another woman, and that OF a
young girl; but that which first awakened
tho interest Of the excavatofs was the finding
Of min ety-one pieces Of silver money, four ear
rings, finger ring, all Of gold, together with
tvo iron keys, and evident remains Of linen
bag. These interesting rallies have been now
successfully removed, and are lying in a house

INSIDIOUS TREASON.

The organ of jeff. Davis holds that no
treason can be committed by words spoken or
printed, and in order to demonstrate the cor.
rectness of its hypothesis, deliberately put
forth the following ir its leading editorial Of a
recent date: H DEF p aa

the war are persisted in-so long as the war
is continued as the war of political party
every dollar expended 10 it is wasted, and

indeed, by those upon whom the responsible
ty rests Of the prevailing policies. The man
who does not wash his hands of all participa-
ton in such war shares the guilt Of those
by ,chom it IS prosecuted. Support Of this
war and hostility Ia it show the dividing line
between the enemies and friends Of the Union

Union, because the war is the most terrible
engine for the destruction Of the Union which
Beelzebub himself could have invented.

his senses about him, aud is deliberately for
