arrested Chas. Pullins, who left Buchanan III
company with Captain Gibson for the South

mock trial was gone through with, and he was
condemned to be hung. He offered to prove
that he was a regularly enlisted Confederate
soldier, but was denied the privilege and ac-
cordingly hung. After hanging p%ullins, Pen
nick proceeded two or three miles further
and found two men sitting in a widow door.
He asked them if they knew OF the wherea-
bouts Of any bushwhackers. Upon being an-
swered in the negative, he proceeded a short
distance when he was attacked aud his Tegi-

SEMMEs OuTwIrED.-Whilst off Santo Do
mingo, Captain Semmes, of the Alabama,
was outwitted by Yankee skipper. The
American schooner Humming Bird. which
ives directing its course to Santo Domingo,
was met some miles off by the Confederate
steamer Alabama the latter demanded to
see its flag. when the schooner hauled up
the English one, and by this means got free
pass and anchord safely in the roadstead
On the following day the Alabama returned
to the port and anchored short distance off
from the schooner, the captain of which fnd-
ing himself safe under the cannon of the
fort, then raised the Stars and Stripes as a
jeer at the captain of the Alabama. The lat
ter got into great rage and sent message
to the captain of the Humming Bird swearing
that before month was over he would pun.
ish his insolence by burning his ship and
bringing back the crew prisoners to Santo
Domingo. The Alabama had been afterward
seen cruising two or three times along the
east coast of the island, apparently with the
intention ofputting Captain Semmes' threats
into execution. -''-S

The DUTIES OF MoTHER.-By the quiet
ireside of home, the true mother in the midst
of her children, is sowing. as in vase of
earth the seeds of plants that sometimes give
to heaven the fragrance of their blossoms, and
whose fruits shall be as a rosary of angelic
deeds, the noblest offering she can make.
through the ever ascending and expanding
souls of her children, to her Maker. Every
worl she utters goes from heart to heart with
power of which she little dreams. Philos-
ophers tell US, in their speculations, that we
cannot lift a finger without moving the dis
tant spheres. Solemn is the thought, but
not more solemn to the christian mother than
the thought, ii,at every word which falls from
her lips. every expression of her countenance.
even in the sheltered walk and retirement of
home, may leave an indeliible impression en-
young souls around her. and form, as it were,
an underlying strain ofthat education which
peoples Heaven.

WHEN the bloody outrage on the Massa-
chpse is regiment occurred in Baltimore on
the 18th of April, 1861, which sent a thrill
of indignation and horror throughout the
North, one among the thousands who rushed
to the national standard was young LAWYER
of New York. Ralph E. Prince by name, who
instantly threw aside his law books to re-
spond to the call of the president, and enlisted
in the ranks of one OF the first Of the New
York regiment of volunteers He crried his
'musket four months as private, fought in all
the battles from Big Bethel down, was then
promoted to a Lieutenancy, continued to
serve with so much gallantry in all the bat.
ties in lower Virginia. from York to Malvern;
that he was made a Captain fought in the
battles of South Mountain and Antietam: was
named for his gallantry in Brigade order and
corps order, was made Lieutenant Colonel,
and has evinced such remarkable qualities
of good conduct in all grades, from the ranks
to the head of a regiment that the Secretary OF
War has, with a wise and creditable appreci-
alton of merit, had him nominated for a Brig
adiership, to which we believe he has been
confirmed by the Senate.

wide it stards perpendicular, and runs
nearly north and south. 1t is mixture of
blue, green and gray mineral, and is very

of about equal value, at present only waiting
for little labor to raise any of them high in

good mineral; Peru, three feet wide, and
rich in gold and silver; National, rich in
gold; Mantonwoc, very rich in silver, but
very narrow and fat-some very beautiful
specimens have been taken from this ledge,

The American Eagle, in Ell Dorado, was
struck in the tunnel, a few days ago. by
Messrs. Lambing & Roper, formerly of Oak
Run, in Shasta county, and shows some splen-

a sudden rise in the price of American Eagle
