JOHN O'GRoAT.-In the reign of James
w., of Scotland, three brothers, Malcom,
Gavin and John O'Groat, natives of Hol-
land, came to the coast of Caithncss, with a
letter in Latin from that Monarch, recon.
mending them to the protection and coun-
tenance of his subjects hereabout. They got
possession of large district of land, and in
process of time multiplied and prospered
until they numbered eight different proprie.
tors by the name of O'Groat. On one Of
the annual dinners instituted to commemo-
rate their arrival at Caithness, dispute
arose as to the right of precedency in taking
the door aud the head of q table This
waxed very serious, and threatened to break
up these annual gatherings. But the wis.
dom and virtue of John prevented this rup-
ture. He made touching speech to them,
soothing their angry spirits with an appeal
to the common and precious memories of
their native land, and to all their joint ex-
periences in this. He entreated them to re-
turn to their homes quietly, and he would
remedy the current difficulty, at the next
meeting, Won by his kindly spirit and
words, they complied with his request. In
the interval, John built house expressly
for the purpose, of an octagonal form, with
eight doors and windows. He then placed
a table of oak. of the same shape in the
middle, and when the next meeting took
place be desired each head of the different
Groat families to enter at his own door, and
sit at the head of his own table. This hap
py and ingenious plan restored good feeling
and pleasant footing to the sensitive fami-
lies, and gave to the dead Dutchman's name
an interest which it will carry with it
forever.

% A lady coming over from Mobile in

IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY COURTESY
Family intimacy should never make brothers
and sisters forget to be polite and sympathis.
ing towards each other. Those who contract
thoughtless and rude habits towards the
members of their own family, will be rude
and thoughtles to all the world. But let the
family intercourse be true, and the manners
of all uniformly gentle and considerate, and
the members of the family thus trained,
will carry into the world and society, the
habits of their childhood They will re-
quire in their associates, similar qualities ;
they will not be satisfied without mutual es.
TEEN and the cultivation of the best affeo.
tions, and their own character will be sus-
tanned by that faith in goodness which be-
longs to mind exercised in pure and high
thoughts.

The CRITICAL MOMENT AT BENToNs
vILLE.-A correspondent of the Nashville
Banner records the following incident,
illustrating the inpsrtubility Of General
Johnston:
To those familiar with the ground upon
which the battle was fought, it will be
remembered that Bentodsville, small vii
lage of few struggling houses, was the key
to the semi circular position occupied by
the Confederates, containing as it did our
hospitals and commanding our only line of
retreat Around and in front of this village
had surged the terrible conflict. To gain
it was victory for Sherman, annihilation
for Johnston. Five assaults of desperate
character had been made, and yet Johnston,
with eighteen thousand men, had held
intact his position against the overwhelming
odds of Sherman's army. As yet no prep
arations for retreat had been made, or if
made they were known only to the General
and the few charged with their execution,
when about 3 O. clock on the third day of
the conflict, the astounding intelligence was
brought to the General, first by a hatless
cavalryman, second by the Generals own
servant who was in the town, and lastly by
Major McC., of General Hampton's staff,
that the enemy had gained Bentonsville,
driving back our cavalry in confusion.
Not only the defeat, but the utter destruc.
ton of his whole army stared General
Johnston in the face, yet not muscle in
that iron countenance changed-it was as
calm as on review. Young Wade Hampton,
aid. .de-camp, was dispatched to his father
with orders to attack and drive the enemy
from the town at all hazards, while Major
- was ordered to push forward a
brigade of infantry to the support of the
cavalry. was standing near the General
at the time, and could but marvel at the
calm intrepidity with which this great
Captain viewed the probable annihilatiou o.
his whole army, "and from the nettle
danger pluoked safety" In one hour the
enemy we're driven in confusion from the
town, and shouts and huzzas were ringing
throughout the army over one of the most
desperate cavalry charges on record-a
charge which covered with glory Baxter
Smith and the brave Texas brigade of
which he was then in command. To that
charge inspired and directed by Johnston,
and executed by Colonel Smith and his
dauntlsss troopers, was attributed the safety
of the army, for had Mower been permitted
to fortify Bentonsville after capturing it,
thus cutting off from Johnston the only
bridge over which be could retreat, the day
would have been inevitably lost to the
Confederate arms.
