We learn from the Clarksville Chron-

which occurred in that town on the 9th

that day, to the farm of Captain Will

ing himself to the fruit. The Captain
not being at home, Mrs. w. went to
the orchard and ordered him away, but
instead of doing as he was ordered, he
commenced cursing Mrs. W., and -four
ishing a revolver at her On Capt. VS.
return home his wife informed him of
the affair, and he at once took his shot
gun and went into the orchard, where
he found the negro disarmed, and ar-
rested him. lie then took him in his
buggy and started to Clarksville with
him, but on the road the negro seized
the shot gun, which was laying across
Captain Wilson's knees and fired on
him. discharging load of buckshot in
his eye. He then threw down the shot
gun and fed to the woods. The au-
thoritics at Clarksville, hearing of the
affair shortly after its occurrence, sent
out some deputy sheritfs after him, who
captured HIM in the woods short dis
tance from town. AS they were bring

Three men sprang out from the bushes
and made rush for the carriage.
Quick as thought the general sprang
upon one of them, and they rolled in
the road together. A dull, crushing
sound was next heard over the con.
tiict, and second one rolled over in
the dust, propelled by the loaded whip
in the hand Of the driver The young
man by timely shot, fired and brought
down third, and then sprang to the
assistance of the general, who still
fought manfully with his herculean an
tagonist whilst the driver engaged the
remaining robbcr.
"Stand back stand back " cried the
general to the young man; 1--WE are
man to man. I'll give the villain fair
play. BY the Eternal, | have you now !"
and he threw his antagonist over, ap.
parently lireless.
"Are you hurt, my boy?' asked the
general. "And you too, Ned? Where

All this occurred in less time than it

Lee and Jackson,

From the New York Times letter
from Lexington, Va, we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
a plain marble slab three feet in
height, slightly curved at the top, and
bearing nothing more than the words
Gen. Thos. j. Jackson" and m up.
right foot-stone Of Il foot and a half in
height with. nothing more in the way Of
legend. "T. J. J."--these are all the
words or monuments there are about
the grave of Jackson. Yet there are
other visible signs and more significant,
Yesterday morning was the holy Sab
bath, but the green turf was covered
with the rarcst flowers. AT the head
Of the grave was an elaborate wreath,
and almost every inch from stone to
stone bore howcry tribute to the sleep
cr beneath. Nearly all these flowers
were as fresh rs if pulled from the stalk
and the villagers bear witness hat they
are renewed almost every day.
GENERAL. LEE.
No man more courteous than he,
none more high bred, none more gen.
crous, none more kindly in his inter
course with his neighbors. And Lee
lives Il peaceful, cheerful, unobtrusive
life among these mountains. So far as
he is himself concerned, he would pre-
fer that his name should be dropped
from present talk and current news His
tory must mention him he knows, but
that time has not come. Lee holds
himself utterly aloof from the disputes
and passions of the hour; and here is
Il proof: On Saturday night he was ut
Rockhridge Baths. Stalwart and erect
as ever, white. haired and ruddy- hued,
his eyes still bright and kindly, rs of
old, he sat among the ladies Of the
neighborhood chatting rs any other
might do but with him, with his past
and present hanging about him, it
seemed like the dead past holding con.
verse with the MUSES.. Presently there
was the confusion of the nightly arrival
from Richmond, and one gentleman,
being acquainted with the General,
greeted him, and after the common
places rendered him the newspapers OF
the day. "Thank you" said Lee, "but
never read any of thcm.'
Lee lives here comfortably, and calm
ly, with his family and many ofhis for
mcr friends around him. His son, Gus.
It's Lee. is Professor in the Institute
here, and his former chief Of staff, Gen
Pcndleton, is the Episcopal clergyman
Of the town.

THE KIDNEYS.

The kidneys are two in number, sit
uated at the upper part of the loin,
surrounded by fat, and consisting OF
three parts, viz: the anterior, the IN
terror, and the exterior.
The anterior absorbs; the interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as deposit for the
urine and convey il to the exterior the exterior
is a conductor also, terminating in single tute,
and called the ureter; the ureters are connected
with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various
coverings or tissues divided into parts, viz the
upper. the lower, the nervous, and the mucous.
The upper expels. the lower retains. Many have
a desire to urinate without the ability, Others u
rinate without the ability to retain. This fire.
quently occurs in children.
To cure these affections We must
bring into action the muscles. which are engaged
in their various functions. If they neglected
Gravel and Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware
that however slight may be the attack. it is sure
to affect his bodily health and mental powers, as
our flesh and blood are supported from these
sources.
