A Mississippi correspondent Of the Mo-
bile Register narrates the annexed incident
or war
One Of the regiments Of cavalry ID this
section has the reputation Of being hard
regiment. They have always deprecated
without mercy or feeling on every one who
happened in their path. One evening of
last fall they stopped ON the plan,ation,o of
z rs. s., an old lady living in Cherokee
county. She has always been one Of the
truest patriots and kindest-hearted women
to our sick and wounded soldiers, making
her house a welcome home to them, but
she is easily aroused and yengeful on those
who steel from her or impose on her good
nature. On the evening mentioned, while
she was preparing supper for a number Of
our worn-ont and struggling barefoots and
sick, her negro came into the house and
told her that the lot was full Of cavalry,
who were taking all of her corn and fod~
der. She hurried ont and witnessed in a
moinent the extent Of the pillage. The
fellows were cursing about, riding furious
ly here and there, and despoiling her of
the last particle Of forage. Instantly she
took up large stick of fat pine and light
ed it, then dashed into their midst, and be-
gan poking il into the fodder the men had
fastened on their horses. In few mo-
ments the singed and maddened animals
and scorched riders were minglng in wild
confusion, knocking each other over, jump
ing and rearing, and setting fire to the
others, while their riders were cursing and
yelling and shouting and burning IN all
quarters. A panic struck Them, and as
they rushed furiously down the road, the
blating fodder and dropping fire flying be-
hind them and beside Them, presented
fearful, yet most Iudicrous scene.
In few moments the old lady returned
to the house and proceeded with her duties
with an air of satisfaction that words could
not express. Next morning Gen. F. visit
ed her, and told her she had done so hand
some deed the night before that he owed
her bis many thanks that she had attack
ed, dispersed and routed three hundred Of
the biggest rascals in his command. He
told her that numbers of the horses had
their hair completely singed of, and that
a great many OF The men were badly burn
ed-some had only hall whisker; others
were completely scorched, the hair on their
heads and faces completely gone others
with their clothes half-burned, and one fell
low had the legs and seat OF his breeches
entirely burned of, and the man himself
was unable TO sit. He thanked her, hop
ing the lesson would be good one. She
answered that she hoped it would; that a
soldier was always welcome to the hospi-
talities Of her home, and could have all she
had If they asked for it; but for thieves she
had nothing, and did not regret that she
had taught them the lesson.

HOW TO BE UNHAPPY.

In the first place, il you want to be mis-
cradle, be selfish. Think all the time Of
yourself and Of your own things. Do not
care about snybody else. Have no feeling
for any one but yourself. Never think of
enjoying the satisfaction OF seeing others
happy; bnt rather, il you see smiling
face, be jealous. lest another should enjoy
what YOU have not. Envy every one who
10 better oil, in any respect. than yourself;
think unkindly towards them, and speak i'll
Of them. Be constantly afraid lest some
one should encroach upon your rights; be
watehful against il. and if any one comes
near your things. snap at him like mad
dog. Contend earnestly for every thing
that is your own. though il may not be
worth dime ; for your rights "are Just
as much concerned as if it we're a pound OF
gold. Never yield point. BE very SEN
sitive, and take everything that is said to
you in playiulnsss, in the most serious
manner. Be jealous Of your frients, lest
they should not think enough Of you. Aud
If at any time they should seem 10 neglect

True knowledge.

Well-informed persons will easily be dis
covered to have read books, though they
are not always detailing lists of authors; for
a muster-roli of names may be learned
from a catalogue as well as from the library.
The honey owes its exquisite taste TO the
fragrance Of the sweetest flowers; yet the
skill of the little artifcer appears in this :;
that the delicious stores are so admirably
worked up, and there is such due proper
tion observed in them, that the perfection
of the whole consists in its not tasting, in
dividually, of the rose, the jasmine, the
carnation, or any of those sweet, of the
very escence of which it is compounded. -
But true judgement will discover the effu-
sion which true modesty will not display
and even common subjects passing thro'
a cultivated understanding borrow favor
of its richness.
