The Devious Ways of n loyal
ROlIIhCinn


HORACE MAYNARD, as is we'll known,
desires Congress to set aside the late
Tennessee election and hand the State
over TO the Stekesites. His course has
led to the revival of an incident in His
life which occurred just prior to the Sc.
cession movements in the South.
At banquet in Philadelphia, given
to BAILIE PEYToN, of Tennessee, an old
Whig leader, MAYNARD was with him,
and he disturbed the harmony OF the
occasion BY breaking out in fierce Sc
cession haranguc. He quite threw
PEYToN in the shade, who was a meder-
ate mau in his tone.
The disgust which MAYNARD inspired
overcame even the indulgence due to a
guest; and MORTON MCMICHAEL, who
was presiding on the occasion, rose and
strongly condemned MAYNARD and his
sentiments. But when ANDREW JOHN
son defeated secession in Tennessee,
MAYNARD Joined the winning side, and
was a follower of JOHNSON; him he
afterwards forsook for BkoONLoW, and
now that JOHNSON and BRowNLow
both support SENTER, MAYNARD hopes
to make little more by calling in the
Federal power. For MAYNARD is now
in Congress, and member Of the Radi-
cal Ring" there; but if free and fail
elections come into fashion again, there
will, We suppose, be small chance for
another term for MAYNARD. So he

A large body of black ants were seen
on the Highway between Concord and
London, n. H., few days since. They
were formed in two lines, extending en-
tirely across the road to the bank oppo-
site. Persons who saw them estimated
their number by the million. A severe
battle was fought, which lasted an
hour, after which both sides were occu-
pied i'll burying their dead. Their wea-
pons were their teeth, and they destroy

FOR TIE JOURNAL.

The value of Life Insurance has been
demontrated very forcibly in this COM
mdnity within the past week, in the
sudden death of Mr.. J. B. HUGHES, of
this District. A few weeks since, Mr..
II was induced to have his life insured
for fve thousand dollars, in the Pied
mont Life Insurance Company, of Rich
mord, Virginia, of which Capt. WIN
CLYBURN is the resident agent. On
Friday last, Mr.. II. left his home in
Flat Rock, for Camden. On passing
burning tree on the side of the road,
some eight mics from Camden, the
tree fell, killing Mr.. II. instantly, crush
ing the wagon, and killing one Of the
mules attached. How strongly is the
provident provision in the insuring of
his life, brought to view! Mr.. d. but
little anticipated so sudden an exit from
the scenes Of life, whe he effected the
insurance-his after thought may have
been that he had made a rather useless
uvestment-but "there IS a divinity
that shapes our ends"-in this instance
it may have silently prompted him to
an act which in Gods providence has
enabled him to leave a handsome sum
for his family. Itis true, that money will
not assuage the grief Of the widow and
the fathcrless, in the day of their great
afflictiou, nor return them the form and
features, now cold in death; but as time
softens their sorrows, they will be more
able to appreciate the providence OF
the husband and father.
In view of the great uncertainty of
| life, does it not bohoove all who can
possibly do SO, to make the smalf m
vestmcnt required for the Benefit OF their
families, when death shall call them
hence The uncertainty of life is ever
present.

A LOST CaILD:-Thirty.thrce years
ago there lived in Lewiston, Logan 5
county, farmer BY the name Of Hop.
kins, who had "a child, q boy between
three aid four year, of age. One day
while the farmer was at work In field
some distance from the farmhouse, the
boy started from the house across; the
fields to see his father. The last seen
of the little fellow was when he left the
house. Huudleds Of people turned out
to search for the lost child. Tho river
was dragged, the woods searched yre-
wards ofrrcd, but all to no purpose
After days of weary aud anxious search
the little fellow was given up by parents
and sympathizing friends. A few IN
dians living in that neighborhood we're
friendly und peaceable and no suspicion
eyer attached to them, aud the affair.
was forgotten or only talked Of as a
mysterious disappearance. The Hop
kins family at length left their old home
and settled in Illinois, and up to- ten
days ago Lone of their old ncighbors in
Logan county had expected to see any
members of the family again. The as
tonishmeut Of the old settlers in and
about the neighborhood ean be con.
eeived, when; week before last, agtall
man, Drowned by, exposure to sun and
storm, aud speaking the English of the
half civilized Indians, made his appear
ance at Lewiston, and claimed to be
the child missed thirty three years ago.
He stated that Cherokee Indian, wan
dering through that section, had en-
ticed him f.om the fields and carried
Linn to the far West. The old chief
had treated him as his own son, and
having. been taken away at SO early age
forgot the memory of his home. For
thirty edo years he lived as an Indian
and supposed that he was the SON Of the
old Chief who claimed to be his fathes.
A. few months since the chief, then
high in rank in the Cherokee natioh,
aud very advanced in age, found him
sell on his death-bed. Shortly before
he died he called his adopted son to his
bedside and informed him who and
what he was. As soon as the old cliief
was dead aud buried HoE kins came to
Logan county in search Of his parents,
whom hc found had moved to Campaign
City, III. He however he remained
last week at L, wiston to crafty the
curiosity ofkRe old settlers, who aided
in the search for him thirty-thrcc years

as much excitement in Logan county

THE ECLIPSE.

On Saturday afternoon last, this pre-
dicted phenomenon was witnessed by
nearly. every one in the community
Although not total, the "garish sun"
was 30 far obscured as to enable one to
see the evening star, shining almost as
bright as ever. The spectacle was tru-
ly awe-inspiring. One felt an irresist-
ible- desire for the companionship of his
fellows, and silence broodcd over the
scene. The mind involuntarily recur-
red to.tha time when "the earth wea
, without form and void; and darkness
was5upon the face of the deep: and the
Spirit of God moved upon the face OF
the waters. /"
'a And when the veil was withdrawn,
giving back to US the light which we
are accustomed, the voice of omnipo-
tence seemed to reverberate through
inmensity "and God said, Let there be
light: and there was light"

THRIFTY CoLoRED MEN.-We are
ever anxious to hold up for the emula-
tion of their race the example Of thrifty
and industrious colored men. A case
of this character came to our knowledge
yesterday, says the Augusta Constitu-
Honalist of Friday. Six cofored men,
engaged on the plantation of Mr.. Joshua
Key, in Burke County, came to this
city, and backed by this gentleman,
drew money on their fine prospective
crop, from one of our cotton factors to
purchase from Messrs. Wyman d May,
sic new buggirs, with all appurtenances,
one of them a two. horse vehicle; to these
vehicles they hitched their own mules,
animals which evidenced, by their sleek
appearance, the faithful care they re-
ceived, and drove from the city, an il
lustration of what Industry, good beha-
vior and thrift Nill accomplish for the
colored, as we'll as the white man. Here
is an example worthy of imitation by
the many of the colored men who con-
gregate around the towns and cities,
living from hand to mouth.

SAD ACCIDENT.

An inquest was held by j. A. Schrock,
Magistrate, acting as Coroner, on Fri
day, the 9th inst, upon the body OF
Mr. Joseph B. Hughes, a gentleman
we'll known in this vicinity, at which
inquest, it appeared that Mr.. Hughes
and a colored boy, Wade Dye, were
coming to Camden in a wagon on that
morning. When about eight miles
from town, pine tree, "hich had by
some means caught fire and burned
through, fell upon the wagon, killing
Mr.. Hughes almost instantancously,
and mortally wounding one of the mules.
The wagon was shattered. Wade Dye
made his escape by leapipg from it
BY his testimony, it appears that they
did not see the falling tree, until it was
nearly upon them, when Mr.. Hughes
exclaimed, "Wade Lord have mercy
on u.s." and endeavored to leap out OF
its way. But he was struck before he
could do so; jagged knot striking and
entering his back near the right shoul'
der.
We learn that Mr.. Hughes had taken
cat a $4,000 policy in the "Piedmout
Life Insurance Company" only a short
month or six weeks ago. The prompt
and gentlemauly agent of the Company,
Capt. Vim. Clyburu is making arrange
ments to meet the loss, and expects to
have the money in a week or ten days,
although the Company has ninety days
to pay in. We heartily commend this
prompt action, and company to our cit
isens generally. The benefits Of Life
Insurance speak in trumpet tones for
themselves, needing no recommends
ZION at QUIZ hands.

THE WEATHER.

The clerk of this institution, is indeed
a queer fellow. At present, be seems
to be engaged in series of experiments
upon the great law of change, which
have resulted in bringing us q cool
change, and knocking the mercury
down in the sixties somewhere. We
have heard muscular men threaten to
knock "you into the middle of next
week" but have never seen the feat &C.
Z oomplished. The clerk of the weather,
though, has succeeded in knocking us
into the latter part Of next month. We
should like to take "boxipg lessons"
from such proficient in the science.
