LovEy--Now abideth these three; Faith,
by which we SEQ the glories of the eternal
sphere; Hope, 10y which we mount toward
them, and Love, by which wo grasp and in
herit them--therefore tho greatest of these
is Love, Love, amid the other graces in
this world, is like a cathedral tower, which
begins on garth and, at first is surroun led
by the other parts of the structure. But,
at length, rising above buttressed wall, and
arch, and parapet, and pinnacle, it shoots,
spiye,like, mapya foot right into the air 50
high that the huge cross OH its summit
glows like spark in the morning light, aud
shines like a. star, in the evening sky, when
the rest. Of die pile is enyeIePed in dark
ness, SO Love, here is surrounded by the
otlIer graees, and divides the holors with
them but they viii have felt the warp of
night and darkness when it will ssinc
luminous, against the sky Of eternity.

ALndAr,Rs. -'rho ioIlowiog almost in
credible circumstance in regard 10 these
reptiles was mentioned soma years since
by an officer in the Colnmbian navy:
a" There were hundreds of my old acquaiu-
tances, the allisators, who were usually to
be seen lying on the top Of the water with
their mouths open, ever and anon closing
them with a horrible crash upon somo
luckless hSlI which the force of the current
had conveyed into them. In tho course Of
the voyage had an opportunity of ascer-
tanning fact concerning these creatures.
which do not recOlcct to have observed
in tho natural history of them. The Tn-
dians told me that previously to their going
in search of prey, they always swallow a
stone, that by the additional weight of it,
they may be enabled to dive with the great
er celebrity, aud drag whatever they may
seize under tho water with them with
case. They have frequently been known,
when they are exceedingly large and ra-
pacious TO draw men and horses in an in
slant out of sight. Not giving implicit
credit to this statement of the Indians,
determined to ascertain il it were true,
aud mentioned my intention TOLLS Exoell-
ency the Governor of the State, who as
sured mo tho Indians were correct; and,
for the sake ofsettlinS this point, consented
to shoot some, in order that | might be
convinced The only points where they
are vulnerable to musket-shot are on tho
dirty white part OF the skin along the
chest and lower part of the body, and in
n space of about three inches in breadth
behind each car. THE former con seldom
he aime | at, and we therefore tried at tho
latter. The Govornor, whose aim was cor
tain. shot at aud killed several with rifle
in all of which, when opened. were found
stones, varying in weight according to the
sizo OF the animal. The largest alligator
killed was about seventeen feet in length
and had within him stone waighihg about
sixty or seventy pounds. The Indians,
whose occupations obliged them to be oil
ways on the river, or close TO its banks,
said that they hal frequently observed the
young ones in the morning swallowing
small stones at the side, under shelter OF
tho wood, before they searched for their
victims, and deposting them at nightin a
place of safety"

to despotic power by the Stiffness Of the
people, and the noble old democrat retired
in disgust to his villa near Florence. Who

MALLORY. CLAYTON Co Oct 16.

| EDIToRs OF TINES According to notice
the .Invincibles Of Mallory assembled on the
the 10 inst, and after the usual organization
Mr.. Beckwith of McGregor was introduced,
who arose, and for more than an hour en-
tertained the audience with an able, pithy
and argumentative speech. Mr.. Beckwith
is young as political speaker, but with his
usual ability, honesty Of purpose and
zeal. he is calculated to make deep impress
sons for the good of the democracy wherever
he goes. He first showed the truth of the
warning Of the Democracy IN 1860: that If
Mr.. Lincoln should be elected that war
would ensue. He also showed that if Mr..
Lincoln was re. elected that war would still
continue; that there would be conscript
after conscript, thus taking from their quiet
homes the best men Of our nation, all for
conquesting the territory Of the South and
freeing the negros. He also showed in an
able manner that the Democratic party is
the only Union party in the United States /;
that Mr.. Lincoln's ITO whom it may con-
Germ" letter to the rebel commissioners in
Canada entertained no propositions for
peace except on the condition that slavery
be abolished first, dscarding reunion on
any other terms. Mr.. Lincoln and his ad.
herents are not dsunionists on that &C
count only, but according to certain pro.
Carnations to rebel States to adopt consti.
tutions without slavery in order to get back
into the Union, thus denying them the
right to come back under their once
adopted constitution under which they once
lived happy people, virtually compelling
the people Of theUnited States to be loyal
to something he proposes to establish and
not to the old Union and constitution as
we once had it, living in peace, happiness
and prosperity. While we are for Union
on the basis Of the federal States and the
constitution, Mr.. Lincoln is for Union upon
the condition that slavery be abolished, or
no Union, but fight till slavery is wiped
out, the last man called cut, and the last
dollar spent! He showed conclusively
from the Chicago platform and from Gen.
McClellan's Letter Of Acceptance that we
are for the UNION, let what may be said 10
the contrary, while Mr.. Lincoln's policy is
to save the Union on terms of which we
know nothing and under which we never
lived. He wound up by saying that when
such Republicans as Ben Wade, Winter
Davis and his Hon. Judge Williams de-.
nounced Lincoln, We should do nothing less
than oppose him. j. H. B.

The shoddyites are continually bowling
about the peace plank of the Chicago
platform. The kind of peace they want is
aptly defined by Geaeral Tilton in speech
male at Republican meeting iu Boston,
October 10. - General Tilton said II dom,
watt any peace except on such terms as
Abraham Lincoln will make. won't say
under the Constitution, but under such
terms as he chooses to make, for I don't
know where the Bons,ituiion is"
That states the point precisely, and there
the Democrats take issue with the Lincoln
ties on the subject Of peace.
