For. years it has been the theory of
Southern statesmen that the organic pow
er of. u government did not pass from
the States when they gave in their adhe-
sion to the Federal center. This theory
has been .instilled into the minds of near
ly every child in the South, and the next
generation will hold to the legality of
the doctrine of secession as earnestly as
the present. It is true that the leading
statesmen of North Carolina have lately
renounced secession as a political heresy,
but they are laboring under a peculiar
pressure arising from the disastrous con-
dition Of the country and the intricate
prospects of the future status OF the
State. With a praiseworthy unanimity,
the Constitutional Convention denounced
this heresy; but the proceedings plainly
show that there were a few delegates who
merely succumbed to the pressure above
mentioned. The right of revolution, to
say the least, is a questionable one, and
its principles are easily traduced, while
the right of coercion is plainly estab.
lished, but the principle is easily sub
verified and abused. These theories viii
exert a powerful influence on the future
Of u country, and it is, therefore, the
duty of every father or teacher to lay
aside his present ~prejudices, and looking
only to the future, educate the uprising
generation to a belief in the doctrine o
a strong central government, controlled
by a majority of our people, from who's
decision there can be no appeal.

CUR1osIrrEs OF THE DEsERT.-Or

CuR1os1r1Es OF THE DEsERT.-On
the Owyhee river, about one mile
southwest of the crossing, is situated
what is known to travellers as "Cas-
tie Ruins" At distance one might
imagine himself standing view
ing the arches, curves, spires,
steeples and columns of some vast
deserted city, of the most magniti-
cent splendor, whose crumblingcol-
umns time was gradually levcling to
the dust. There is a large area of
country on the Owyhee covered with
these mouldering columns-some
standing above and some attached
to sides of high table mountains
altogether presenting one OF the
most interesting and wierd-like views
to be seen anywhere in the land of
deserts and sagebrush which borders
on the northern rim of the great
Basin. In October last we passed
over the road from Owyhee, via
Queens River, to the Humboldt, and
after leaving the Owyhee ferry, had
a continuous desert of forty miles
without water. We noticed the
bed of an old dry creek, about mid
way, but found not drop Of water
in it, and no sign Of there having
been for years. When visiting the
same place some weeks ago, we
found in the same old creek bed, a
fine stream as large as the Jorden
creek at Ruby, and fish were sporting
and playing in the eddies.-O~yhec

with ,he same. On the top of these
stones a brisk fire had been kindled
in the morning aud maintained all
day. When the bake was To COM
u.encc the fire was removed. the
ashes were scraped out, and the
stones, heated by that time to read
heat, swept clean. On these stones
was spread a cover Of damp seaweed
damp leaves, brush and underwood

on the weed were deposited clans,
sweet potatoes aud common potatoes
(the latter cut in half, but neither

bass wrapped up ard tied in paper,
fowls carefully done up in paper en-
velopes, Indian corn with little
more ofth husks adhering to them
than is considered Ell regcl in the
kitchen, Holsters, etc. Over these
was daintily thrown another mantle
of damp weed. Another array of
fish, fowls and vegetables followed,
and was succeeded by third cover
let of weed. This effected, series
of blankets was introduced, and the
bake was seduIously wrapped up in
them and left to prespire as would a
patient in "pack" at the water
cure, or a subject at Turkish bath,
after emerging from the dclugc
apartment.
In about threo-quarters of an hour
after this bake had been put to bed
in the manner described, connois-
scurs pronounced the charm COM
plete. A corner of one of the blan-
kets was raised for the purpose by
the army Of observation" and a
volume of perfume stole heaven
ward, as if too good for earth-a vol
ume of indescrbably delicious in-
censc, fit for the alter of Il demigod.
Then came a scene of gay and affect
ing confusion. Off flew the blan.
kets. lIither and thither flew the
servants, armed cap-a-pie with ba-
sins, dishes, towels, pitchtorks, rakes
and spades. Away flew the steam-
ing seaweed, and out came into sep
arate reccptacles the various viands,
filling the air with a stimulating
aroma that needed only the spir-
itualistic tonic to whet beyond dec
orous restraint the dullest appetite.
The spectacle that the table then
promptly presented may be easily
imagined. 1t was really not bake,
tor between the intensely heated
stones and the damp sesweed the
food had actually been cooked by
steam, and cooked with delicacy
and discrimination pefcctly wonder
ful. Each article retained, though
cooked in snch melee. its own in
dividuality of flavor. The fish had
impaired nothing of its original spe.
ciality to its neighbor the fowl, and
the corn and potatoes had borrowed
nothing apparent to the taste from
the lass or the clans. The cuisine
was perfect.

sar Having been frequently impor-
tuned in regard to the meaning of
the "Seven- thirties, Fivc-twenties,
Ten-forties," etc., a light explana-
ton will not be out of place:
Seven.thirties" stands foi $3.50
or731O. A currency loan for three
years has been negotiated, converta-
ble into gold stock, at the rate of two
cents qay interest, per$1O0. Now
two cents day will make $7.38 a
year.
"FTre-t.centies" stand for United
States bonds representing loan for
twenty years but which the govern
mcnt may if it sees fit redeem in five
years.
I" Fice- Forties" is a loan that has
forty years to run, but which the
Government may redeem after ten
years.
"Five-twenties bear six per cent
interest in gold: Ten-forties five per
cent in gold. There is a fourth loan
called the Long-sixes, or the eighty
one. bearing interest at six per cent.

live longer than is generally sup
posed. Litigation kills clients some
times. but seldom lawyers, for they
average 55. Physicians prove their
usefulness by prolonging their own
lives to the same period. The sailor
averages 43, the caulkers GA, the
sailmaker SO, the stevedore IS, the
terrymen IS, and the pilot ga.
Brewers and distillers live to the
ripe old age of64. Last and longest
lived come paupers, 81, and ''gen-

that do nothing for themselves and
live on their neighbors outlast all

GIANTS In the time Of Augustus
Caesar there were two persons living
in Rome called Idusio aid Socundilla,
each of whom exceeded ten feet in
hight. Their bodies after death,
were kept and preserved as miracles
of curiosity in Il sepulchre within the
Sallustian gardens. Pliny names a
certain Gabara who in the days of
Claudius were brought out of Arabia;
and says he was nine feet nine inches
high. The Emperor Maximilin, orig.
inally a Thracian peasant, measurd
eight feet aud half. His wite's
bracelets served him as rings. His
voracity was such that he consumed
daily forty pounds Of flesh and drank
eighteen bottles of wine. His strength
was in proportionable to his gigantic
shape. He could draw loaded wag-
on without help, aud with blow Of
hi i<t often broke the teeth 'n a
hor~e's month lie also crushed the
haris~, ssones h-sxeen his 6nserx.

A. johnson. Tailor" This, then
was the college where graduated our
President. Iii still tailor's shop.
but the artist is of darker hue than
Andy. A colored man now works
at the Presidents trade in the shop
where he drew the thread in early
manhood.
The landlord of the hotel claimed
to have worked on the same board
with johnson, told US several inter-
csting "reminiscences of his early
career. lie said johnson was not
twenty years old when he first came
to Greeneville from North Calolina,
very green, gawky youth, who
could not even read the alphabet.
The first job Andy was set at was
making suit Of course jeans. His
awkward ways at first made him the
ridicule of the shop, but his natural
quick wit and sagacity gained the
respect of all.
Mrs. johnson was widows
daughter. Her father had been a
shoemaker. Shew a girl of spirit
aud intelligence. When they mar
ried, Andy's worldly possessions con
sisted Of S. in money, an old horse.
and a cot bedstead. The brides
mother had but a small dowry to
bestow. So the future President of
the United States commenced we'd
ded life with the foregoing extrava-
giant stock of worldly goods.
Mrs. johnson took her husbands 3
education in hand, and, as is we'll
known, taught him to read. Our
informant says Andy, after he
learned to read, used to seek the
most intelligent company in town,
ard get all the information, books,
&C., he could. Among those who
aided him ia this way, were some
merchants and bankers, North Car
olinians of Scotch Irish extraction.
They were men of shrewd intellect
and considerable information, the
benefit ofwhich they freely gave to
the ambitious young tailor. North
ern people, surrounded with free
schools and the widening culture of
the land, can scarcely appreciate the
difficulties surmou nted by this ar
dent student. That they were sur
mounted, his career has abundant
ly proven. r''o' .

that Petersburg and Richmond, the

The old cannon, whose loud tones has

the loud cheers OF hundreds of our ex.

a citizen of Ridgway have We seen such
an outburst of enthusiasm. On Tuesday
4th another dispatch came over the
wires which kindled anew the patriotic
enthusiasm-"Lce and his entire army
