The following was adopted, almost unani-
mously, in the lower House:
Effects of the Habeas Corpus Suspension in
South Carolina.

4ugusta, October 2G.--Advices from
York county, S. c., where the haebeas cor
pus has been suspended, report that at least
one hundred arrests have been made and
the parties lodged in the county jail. Num-
bers are leaving the county, and their de-
serted families are suffering. Business of
all kinds is suspended. 1t is reported that
one-half Of the male population of Chester
county has LEFT, leaving the women and
children unprotected. In Spartanburg and
Union counties the stampede and suffering
is even greater than in York and Chester
counties. 1t is impossible to conceive the
terror and excitement that prevails.

a Trick on the American ina,

A Trick Oh the American Indians,
II Is not q little curious, says the
Independent Of Chile, to know how
the telegraph wires aud posts have
been preserved from injury by In
dams, otherwise the communication
Of the frontier forts with one another
could not have been kept up. The
following strategem was hit upon
and related by'a traveller recently
from the frUntiers, who was asked
how this was. He says when the
posts were erected there WINS some
forty or fifty Indian prisoners In the
camp OF the army. General Pinto,
fearing that they might destroy this
important work of fertilization, called
them together and brought in an
electric battery:
Do you see this wire which Is
placed here?" f
"Yes, General" Hs@if
swell, then, have caused II to be
placed there so that you should not
pass to the Dtner side or touch II, be-
cause, II you do, your hands will ad-
here to the wire" The Indians
smiled with an incredulous look. The
General called them one by one, and
made them lay hold of the wires Of a
battery and then set it agoing.
"Let go the wires, tell you"
II cannot, sir, my hands are be-
numed."
On cutting off the current OF course
they dropped the wires. Each In
dian was made to experiment for
himself. Before letting them go the
General recommended them to keep
the secret and not tell it to their
countrymen.
OF course they did quite the con-
trary, and told every Indian what
they had seen and what had hap
pened to them. Since then not a
wire has been damaged, because they
now all believe that II they touched
the wires they would be caught aud
held prisoners until the troops came
up.

A STORY OF THE HEART.
BY OAK GREENE.

Ithas not been very long since paid
a visit to my friend Paul WA, whu
is now living in fiOurishing city,
west Of the great Alleghanies. We
have been intimate from our bOyhoOd
days, and have ever regarded him as
one Of the best fellows of my ac-
quaintance. He has always made
me his coniidant, and l know every
secret Of his heart.
One evening l went to his room,
and found him unusually sad and
thoughtful something seemed to be
preying upon his mind; which robbed
1t, for the time being, Of all its
sprightliness.
"Paul," said l, whats the matter
with you?-Surely, something of a
serious nature is engrossing your
thoughts so
"Well," he replied, 1 have been
thinking Of Rosabelle.n
"Ah then, must excuse yOu,n
said as soon as had concluded the
sentence, he went to his trunk, which
was setting In corner of the room,
and took from IL a bundle of old pa
pers. They were tied with n piece OF
faded red tape, aud the letters had
every indication Of having been
handled a thousand times. He laid
the bundle upon the table, and
after each Of us had lit a cigar,
he remarked to me; l have some
thing to show you something that
you can appreciate. You knew
Rosabelle, and you also knew more
of the intimacy which existed be-
