ADREApFuL FATE.-Much sympathy is expressed
in the Lyons country papers for the fate OF young
and rising musician, who, at the last trench con-
scription, was unfortunate enough to draw mat

MIR. sherman's People.

The following we take from Q late number OF the
Washington Republican (Radical). Ne presume
there are few of our readers but who will bear tes-
timony that Of all the many contributions to the
Northern Radical press which have appeared from
time to timo, concerning this section, this, per-
haps, in it's main features, is the MOST correct:
An officer who has been on duty In South Caro-
lima relates some curious incidents and conVersa-'
tions held with the citizens Of the districts trav-
ersed by General Sherman's ara.y in the famous
ssmarch to the sea-" It would seem from his ac-
counts that all the ills Of their life and present con-
dition are attributed to the war, and especially to
Shermans raid. In speaking Of the lattor they
never call Sherman q general, but he is ssMr.
Sherman" They never call his army anything but
ssMr. Sherman's people,"
An an illustration Of the general character OF the
conversations of South Carolinians upon the sore
subject, Colonel -- gives the following remarks
Of planter he visited in the course Of his official
duties:
Panter.-You must excuse our table, sir, it's not
very well furnished, sir. Before the war, sir, we
had plenty of silver plate but Air. Sherman's
people came along here and they took away our

sir.
Have you seen anything Of dapple iron-gray

my wife had that pony, sir, and was very fond o.

No names are given of the parties engaged, and
the partisulars are strenuously withheld.

4 Curious EFFECT.-Gernez has lately
found that many substances which after
being fused still retain their liquid form
until temperature has been considerably
lowered, nevertheless instantly solidifed
while their temperature at the same time
rises again to the melting point, either by
contact with particle of the same SUBJ
stance, or of another which has touched it.
or by friction of two solid bodies within
the fused mass Phosphorus and sulphur
are examples, either of which will instant
ly commence to crystallize at the point of
contract with particle of their own kind.
or with glass which has been touched with
the same, or with two bits of glass shaken
together, within the melted substance the
crystallization spreading rapidly through
the mass.
