Negro Soldiers.

One of ''Doniphan's Men," of st. Louis.
sends us this specimen of negro valor in
the Mexican war:
ga number of the officers of Doniphan's
regiment had selected their favorite servants
and they accompanied their masters to the
tented field. On the march from Eel Pasc
to Chihuahua the darkies, fired with mill
tary ardor determined to form a company
of their own. Joe, a servant of Lieut.. d.,
Of Maj. Clark's artillery, was elected cap
tain, and about one-half of the remaining
volunteers were appointed to fill some office,
and thus were entitled to a title. Joe made
his appearance on parade in cooked hat,
feathers, epaulets, sabre, etc., all right. lie
was impatient for the foe. When it was
reported that the enemy was awaiting us at
Sacramento, Joe was exultant. He would
show the white folks what he and his men
would do. Gle would be whar de fight
was, and ef Massa d. expected Joe to hold
his boss, MassaD. was mistook, dare den -
The battle of Sacramento was fought
and the enemy routed completely, but Joe

The day after the battle Lieut.. L. said to
Captain Joe:
"Where's your company, Joe2 didn't
see anything Of you and your men yester-
day, and hear that you hid behind the
wagons? ?"
''Oh, Massa Lieutenant" replied the
crestfallen Capt. Joe, "I'se sorry to say my
men did take to de wagins! l begged 'em
to come out like men, but dey wouldn't!
No, sah! dey stuck to dc wagins, and |
couldn't git 'em out"
"Well," said Lieut.. L., ''why didn't you
leave them2 you might have been in the
fight, anyhow"

Joe, 81 did come to de line at first, and

Major General Butler.

Inc Boston courier excuses the publ
cation of the following upon the ground that
Gen. Butler is a public man, and because
the affair has got into print:
We have received from the best author
! ity the facts of the encounter at Lowell. As
we learn the facts, they are as follows: Mr..
Russell, who is mason in Lowell, was en-
ployed by a Mr.. Eastman, the agent Of
General Butler, to lay the pipes in drain
which Eastman had dug on the Generals
premises. The laying of the pipes was
nearly completed, one only of the sections
lying by the side of the trench. At this
time Gen. Butler came towards Mr.. Russell,
and ordered him to remove large stone
within the side of the drain, and some dis
tance beneath the surface Of the ground,
saying it would interfere with the plough.
To this Mr.. Russell objected, stating that
it was his business to lay the pipes, and not
to dig. the drain, which had been prepared
by Eastman. Thereupon, Gen. b., with
violence and profane language, ordered him
to leave his premises. Mr. Russell told
him that he was employed by another per-
son, and did not look to him for his pay,
and should finish his work. Gen. B. then
kicked the section of the pipe into the drain,
which MIR. Russell picked up and placed a
gain in its former position. Repeating the
offensive language, Gen. B. kicked the pipe
over again; and as Mr.. Russell was attempt
ing to replace it. he received a violent blow
in the face. We understand that subse-
quently Gen. B. alleged this to have been
an accident; but the statements on the 9TH
er side do not correspond with that view of
the case. Mr.. Russell Immediately Jump
ed from the ditch and as quickly General b.
was fiat upon the ground and Mr.. Russell
had him by the throat and held him there.
Gen. b. is alleged to have made no resist
ance; after holding him as long as he thot
necessary, Mr.. Russell allowed him to rise,
and accompanied him hundred or two hun
dred rods out of the field.
We learn that Mr.. Russell told the Gen.
that he was an old man, over 60 wears of
age, and had never been assailed in this way:
that the General mist reInenabor he was in
Massachusetts,, not New Orleans; and that
such conduct as his would not be tolerated
on New England soil. He also told him it
was no wonder we were beaten by the rob
els, when such officers led our men; that,
for his own part, he was the grandson of a
revolutionary patriot, who was killed by the
British in his own house, (at Lexington J
and he himself and the other descendants
of that man had been true to their Demo-
cratic principles. Reminding the General
of his action at the Charleston Convention,
and of his political tergiversations in gene
raj, Mr.. Russell then left him. We are not
disposed to make any comments on this
transaction. We give the facts as they
were detailed to us; and as we are inform
ed, the affair was witnessed by numbers of
persons.

IMMENSE FLowNG WELL.--One Of the most
valuable veins of petroleum yet discovered was
lately struck on the Farrell farm, ON Oil Creek,
Venango county. The well commenced flow
ing on Saturday week, the oil spouting up to
height of fifty feet, with roar like hurricane,
and escaping at the rate of two thousand bar
rels per day. A stopcock was got on after
much trouble, and the flow can now be regula-
ted to suit the demand. Another flowing well
in the vicinity was so affected by the opening
of the new well that its yield decreased by O.
yer three hundred barrels per day. The Far
rcll well, which is about four hundred and fifty
feet deep, was, at last accounts, flowing steadi-
ly at the rate of twelve hundred barrels day,
This, even at the moderate prices, now ruling
at the wells, would yield the owners So, 600 per
day--almost as profitable as Government
contract. .es

GOLD MONEY Y-Henry ILL., in the year 257,
in great distress for want of money, was the
first prince who ever coined gold in England.
The piece he caused to be struck was of pure
gold, about the size Of shilling, and was to
pass in the common proportion of gold to sill
yer for twenty pennies of the latter metal. 1t
is not said for what reason, but only that, in
the month of November, in that year, the citi-
zens of London peiitioned against it and Henry
consented to call it in.
OF this curious coin, called the gold penny
of King Henry Third, three specimens only are
remaining, one of which is in the British Mu-
scum; it has full length figure of the king,
sitting on his throne, on one side. Till Edward
the Thirds time no more gold money was coin
cd in England. He, by the advice of his com-
Gil, in 1914, commanded forms of gold 10 be
coined, TO pass for six shilings; half florins to
pass for three shillings; and quarter forms to
pass for one shilling and six pence. A few
months after, however, the name and value of
the coin was changed, and gold mobiles, half no.
bles, and farthing mobiles were made known by
proclamation-th first to pass for six shillines
and eight pence, and tho others in proportion.
The noble had the armed figure of the king rep
resented in a ship, in commemoration, it is sup
posed, of naval victory he had obtained
Such were the earliest gold coins of England.

GET ENOUGH SLEEp-We have often heard
young men remark that four or five hours sleep
was all they wanted, and all that the human
system required. The habit of going without
sufficient sleep is very injurious. Thousands,
no doubt, permanently injure their health in
this way. We live in a fast age, when every
body seems TO be trying to pervert the order of
nature: If folks will persist in turning night
into day, it is not to be wondered that few last
to the allotted term Of life. No matter what
be a mans occupation-physcal or mental, or,
like Othello's, ''gone" and living in idleness
tho constitution cannot last, depend upon it,
without suiliciency of regular and refreshing
sleep. Joe Hunter, the great surgeon, died
suddenly Of spasmodic affection of the heart, a
disease greatly encouraged by want of sleep.
In avolurne just published by medical man,
there is one great lesson that hard students and
literary men may learn, and that is, that Hum
ter probably Killed himself by taking too little
sleep. s.Four hours rest at night, and one af-
ter dinner cannot be deemed sufficient to re-
eruit the exhassted powcrs of the body and
mind" Certainly not; and the consequence
was, that Hunter died early. If men win in
sist in cheating sleep, her stwin sister Death
will avenge the insult. a.s 81

the Kansas Nebraska Bill was being debated,
Senator Seward tapped Douglas on the shoul-

Bourbon in the Senator's private. room which
was twenty years old, and upon which he de-
sired to get Douglas judgment, The Little
Giant declined, stating that he meant to speak
in a few minutes, and wished his brain nnclou-
ded by the fumes OF liquor. At the conclusion
Of his speech Douglas sank down exhausted in

this juncture, Seward seized the orators arm
