DRUGGED WITH CHLoRoFoRM.-An i'm
preston is gaining ground here, and il
prevails to a great extent ia sporting
circles, that Heensn was treacheFously
dFugged, either by one of his own friends
or one Of bis antagonists, just before the
recent fight took place. Such an event
is very common on the turf, and sll the
circumstances seem to indicate that some
thing Of the sort took place. HeenaD,

EfOHa1.
We are in daily receipt of 6 large num-
Der of exchanges, whose columns are
filed with lamentations over The cruelty
of our Government, because it hiss done a
moderate amount of confiscatiOn, since
the war began But not one of these
journals have : word to say relative to a
similar process, much more relentlesslY
enforced, by the rebel Government,
wherever it has the power.
We have before US some documents
captured in East Tennessee, and which
were hsnded us yesterday, which throw
some light upon the subject, and which
might furnish q very instructive text to
those tender hearted papers, who are,
just now, all meekness and forgiveness.
Our law only confiscates the property
of active rebels; the enactment of the
Richmond Congress goes farther it takes
the property of AL who do not openly
take sides with the instruction. The
mere preferences to retain the old status
Of citizen of the United States is sufTi-
cient excuse to rob one of his last dollar.
One Of these documents, which may be
taken as 3 specimen of all the rest, is
issued by one T. J. Campbell, Receiver
Of the Second District Of Tennessee" and
recites, that whereas, Silas Wade and
James Wade, Of McMinn county, Tenn,
have voluntarily elected to retain their
allegiance" to the United States, they are
notified that their lands have been Use
questrated."
The process is exceedingly summary,
and nothing prevented the sale of the
property to some rebel, but the timely
arrival of the Union armies. Cann0.
some of our tender-hearted, benevolent
contemporaries demonstrate a little with
JEFF Davis, about such high handed
proceedings p? Or do they believe that
confiscsiiOn Is only wrong when rebels
suffer?

SCsrICIoE.-I know no persons more
miserable themselves and despised by
others, than those of n suspicious dispo.
sition. They are miserable themselves,
so they are ever imagining some designs
are plotting against their persons, their
characters, or their property-the most
innocent, nay, the best intended ACT, they
pervert into q covert snrre to entrap
them: they see an enemy in every face
a traitor 10 every friend-a rogue End
liar in every man they deal With. They
act on the principle that every man Is to
be considered dishonest-an that too in
every particular ransaction-till, at tte
termination, he has proved himself other
wise. How can it be that such are not
and justly tGo-despised by others -
Even the suspicious man himself must,
aud does desp;se suspicion in others. He
is willing enough to indulge in it t'himself,
but he who is free from this suspicious
disposition; he. who, acting with frank
ness and candor, expects the sane from
others-who knowing himself to be hon
est and sincere, believes that others are sn
too--must secretly despise the man who
he finds has regarded him Is dishonest,
treacherous and deceitful, in even the mi
nutest affairs of life. l know of no ex.

The DEVIL IN THE FIDDLE. organ
may be the king of instruments, but the
fiddle is its prime minister. The very
comparison is unfair, for the organ is a
large collection of instruments, any one
of which, that is, any one stop, is nothing
when compared to a very moderate per.
formance on the violin. Nor could any
organ Of five stops, the very best, success
fully compete with quartette of stringed
Instruments, with a double base under
all, to give them q substantial growl to
stand on. The organ is, it must be ad-
mitted, sacred instrument for the use Of
st. Celia and the heavenly choir above
and all the churches which are wise
enough to use them here below. The
fiddle is the only instrument, We believe,
on which it is Of authentic record that
the devil has played. We know that
Burns has represented him as performing
on the bagpipes, an instrument that
should never be sounded outside Of his
own dominions; but this is poetry. The
evidence of Tartini is plain prose the
devil appeared to him in his sleep and
played so exquisite sonata that when he
awoke he could only pat on paper q very
distant imitation of its internal beauty
And his faint recollection of what Hamlet
would call ''blast from hell" Is ae-
knowledged to be one of the best OF Tar
tini's works 1t was actually proved, by

EFFICACY OF ONIONS. "A writer says
We are often troubled with severe coughs,
the result of cold of long standing,
which may turn to consumption and ter

cause sleepless nights, by constant ir1i,

throw off offending matter from the Lungs
The remedy I propose has been tried BY
me, and often recommended to others With
good results, which is simply to take into
the stomach, before retiring at night a
piece of raw onion, after chewing. 4 This
esculent in an uncooked state, is very

from the lungs and throat, causing insta.nl

AN HONEST DEACON. N was
an honest old codger,a kind neighbor and
good Christian, believing IN the Presby-
terrain creed to the fullest extent; but the
deacon would. occasionally get exceeding
y mellow, and almost every Sunday al
dinner he would indulge in his cider
brandy to such an extent that it was with
difficulty that he reached his pew in the
broad aisle, near the pulpit aud between
the minister and the village squire. One
Sunday morning the parson told his flock
that he should preach sermon touching
many g'ariDg sins so conspicuous among
them. and be hoped they would listen at
tentiVely and not finch if he happened tc
be severe.
The afternoon came; acd the house wa
full-everybody turned out to see thei
neighbors "dressed down" by their min
lister, who, after opening his sermon, com
menctd upon the transgressors, 10 loud
voice, with the question
Where is the drunkard?"
A solemn pause succeeded the inquiry,
when up rose Deacon N, his face red
from frequent draughts of his favorite
drink, and, steadying himself as we'll as
he could by the pew rail, he looked up
and replied in trembling voice
"Hese am I"
OF course, a CONSERVATION in the con
gregation was the result of the homes
deacon's response however, the parsor
went on with his remarks, as he hac
written them, commenting severely upor
the druNkard, and closed by warning hin
to forsake at once such evil habits, if hG
would hope for salvation, and fee from
the wrath to come.
"And now" asked the preacher, in bis
loudest tones, "where is the hypocrite ?
A pause ensued, but no one responded
Eyes were turned upon this and that man
but the glances seemed to be generally
directed to the Squire's pew, and, indeed
the parson seemed TO squint in that di
rection. The deacon saw where th,
shaft was aimed, and rising once more
he leaned over his pew towards tn,
squire, whom he tapped on the SHOULDER
and thus addressed
"Come, Squire, why don't you get up
did when he called on me ?"
