THe Youngest "Rebel" on Re


A case Of much interest to the boys Of
the South was decided by the Secretary Of
the Navy recently. A youth named Bald
win Alexander, from Pulaski County, Va,
was appointed cadet at the Naval Acade-
my by the Hon. Mr.. Gibson, of the Eighth
District Of Virginia. Alexander who is not
seventeen years Of age, underwent a thor
ough examination, and passed at every
point. lie made a favorable impression
upon the Board of Examiners, rs we'll as
the Secretary of the Navy, and his ap-
pointment was confirmed. But when the
iron-clad or test-oath was put to him he
declined to take it, asserting that, although
he was n mere child OF the commencement
Of the war, and but twelve years Of age, at
its close, yet his associations, surround
inps, SC, had created sympathy in his
mind and heart for those around him, and
to swear that he had not sympathized with
or countenance1 the Rebellion would be
base purjury, and he could not do so. His
honesty and candor ELECTED eneomiums
from tie Naval authorities, and Senator
johnson Of Virginia took the matter in
hand, and tried 10 have the youth admitted
by his taking the proper constitutional
oath. The law on The subject, however,
seems 10 be imperative, and the Secretary
Of the Navy to-day informed Senator john
son that Alexander could not be admitted

scribed 10 the iron-ela1 oath. Senator

To the Editors of the Dallas Herald:
tuesday morning last, party OF Indians,
supposed to be about twenty-five, passed
down about six miles North of this place.
They stopped on what is known as the Nor
ris branch about twelve miles East.
One of our citizens, N. II. Dawson, who
was horse hunting, is supposed, from the
sign, TO have rode down near to the camp
before he discovered them. lie was pur-
sued by two Indians and brought down
about three miles from the camp. Shot,
striped, scalpcd, lanced and manglcd in n
most horrible manner. Tuesday night
about twenty citizens made stand for them
on ridge where they supposed the In
dams would pass out. About daylight
Wednesday morning they discovered them
passing up another ridge about three miles
South. They mounted and charged, aim.
ing to get in ahead Of them. The Indians
however discovering them passed over u
tall hill and mounted fr sh horses.
The citizens stopped on the top of tho hill
and the Indians at the base. One or two
Indians came out and fired with deliberate
aim, one ball taking effect through the foot
of II young man named Kelly. Tho citi-
zens then made a gallant charge, firing and
yelling in n manner known only to Texans
No Indians were killed on the ground but
all are satisfied that some three or four
we're killed, and probably the chief. The
Indians fled from the ground with all pos
siblc haste.
The citizens captured one hundred and
six horses. Other scattering Indians have
been seen in the country since that time
This morning party passed down by Mr.
Caddell's on the same route that the others
passed down, stealing twelve head ofhorses
from Mr.. Caddell. SO far the only effect
that these raids have Made, is to put the
people on their guard, keep up their horses
| at night and keep ont scouts on their pass
ways. We have various reports Of fights
that have taken place in Jack and Mon
tague counties but have not sufficient par.
ticulars TO enable me to give them to you
Last Friday passed down the West Fork
valley to Prairie Point, fifteen miles South
of this place, every farm passed by land
they are not few is groaning under a b0un-
tiful and thrifty crop Of cotton, corn, wheat
and oats.
While Mt the Point attended the clos.
ing exercises of the second session Of the
Prairie Point Seminary, under control Of
Mrs. NJ. Fain. The exercise were most sat!
isfactory. 1t was truly an examination
The students all acquitted themselves adj
mirably and presented indisputable evil
dence of the fact that their time had been
diligently employed and that the teacher
had discharged her duties ably and faith
fully. At the close of the exercises the au-
dience consisting of about ono hundred and
fifty persons was addressed by young
and enthusiastic friend of education.

10 the Editors Of the Dallas Herald:
During the past two weeks, several par
ties of tac,c SIMS rel pets have bceh in
on nocturnal tours gathering up stock
They made some very gross mistakes and
drove off about fifty head, and probably
more, OF horses that belonged to our cili'
zcns. And if we judge the future by the
pnst, we mny suppose that they'll not re-
turn them, if they discover the mistake.
The only effect that is left visible from
these visits, is to make the people more
cautious about keeping up their stock Al
night.
Crops are tlourishing, and the prospect
bids fair for an abundant yield both OF
corn and cotton. More anon, s.

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
lett side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss Of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
considerable loss of memory, ac-
companicd with a painful sensation
of having left undonc something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an az
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr.. M'LAHE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AcUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.

that my table is large enough to hold the ladies
OF this they had ocular proof yesterday To
say how it is usually covered is rather more es-
sential, and this shall be the pnrport of my let.
ter Since our arrival at this happy spot we
have had ham sometimes a shoulder of bacon
to grace the head of the table a piece of roas.
beef adorns the foot and a small dish of greens
or beans almost imperceptibleJ decorates the
centre. When the cook has a mind TO cut A
figure (and this l presume he will attemp. to
do tomorrow, we have two beef steak pies or
dishes Of crabs in addition, and on each side, the
centre dish dividing the space and reducing the
distanse between dish and dish about six feet.
which, without them, would be nearly twelve
feet apart. OF late he has had the surprising
luck to discover that apples will make pies, and
his efforts We do not get one Of apples instead of
having both of beef. If the ladies will put up
with such entertainments, and will submit to
