CHICKAMAUGA.

For three days the battle ragged.
On the morning of the third the
contest was renewed with augment
ed fury. All day the earth trembled
with the thunder of four hundred
guns, and the clamOr of hundred
thousand rifles. The very waters
quivered within the banks of the
River of the Dead. Troops were
rushed from point to point-courier
dashed, with foaming steed, thro'
the jungles and over the slain
clanking squadron and frantic CO.
hort met and fell in conflict-tatter-
ed guidons and blackened banners
mingled in the bloody strife-the
lurid smoke of combat rose and
spread in purple Waves-hideous
flames of sulphur flashed from fierce
and closing lines, and Volley after
volley Numbered its deadly con-
tents amid surging columns and
clashing arms. All day the fierce
ness ragged, and the issue seemed
doubtful. But late in the evening
both wings of the enemy's line De-
gan sullenly to recede, and later
were driven in confusion, though
the center stood fierce and firm.
Upon that point the flower of the
Confederate army had been hurled
and rehurled without success, and
still the onset was bravely renewed.
Charge after charge was made and
repulsed, and seemed that the posi-
tion was not to be taken. But,
just as the sun, encrimsoned with
the smoke of battle, was sink
ing beneath the mountains, that
lowered upon our left, our shatter-
ed columns were rallied for the last
grand struggle. The "Charge'' was
Sounded, and with a shout that vo-
caliZed the heavens, and an intrepid
ity that swept away ali opposition,
they dashed into the enemy's works,
and poured volley into the flying
forces. The route was complete
the fight was oVeF-the battle was
won. Silence reigned a moment.
Then far away through the deep and
darkening forest could just be
heard the yelling of troops. And
what did that mean? Twas the
shout of victoryl Nearer it came
louder and louder it grew-grander
and grander it grew, until it passed
and repassed the entire line of the
Confederate army. From legion to
legion it went and returned, from
wing to wing it rolled. Shout after
shout pierced the vaulted skies, and
and echo after echo died upon the
heavens. Twas like the shouting
of the hosts of Joshua at the taking
of the city of Jerieo. In the exul-
taton of that moment every man
felt that he was compensated for all
the effort, all the struggle, and all
the danger that the three days fight
had cost him. There is no emotion
so inexpressibly sublime as that
produced by the shout of victory
after long and desperate struggle.
The exultation ceased. There was
time for memory, grief and ado
ration. The army sank upon the
earth to rest, and mingle its tears
with the dews of the night, which
heaven seemed to weep upon it in
tender approving sympathy. A mo-
ment more-silence and moonlight
wrapped the bloody scene.

NIGHT-The following beautiful
rhapsody from the pen of a young
lady of Memphis, we copy from the
Young Folks Rural, in which it
first appeared:
'Tis night solemn night The
broad eye of day has closed, and all
its joyous sights and sounds have de-
parted; a majestic gloom broOds
over all things; night has wrapped
in her oblivious mantle the golden
glories of days bright ruler, and
nothing mars the contrast, save the
twinkling of some farof star, whose
feeble rays remind US that light has
been.
And yet the night is not wholly
unloVely or unloved. When are
the woods more solemn than when
darkness brOods over the green To-
liage, or the night winds, in titful
gusts, sway the Outspreading bran
ches of the forest trees? st. Il
1t is such a time as this that suits
the spirit that has drank deeply of
the cup of suffering; and these gloo-
my sights and solemn sounds are
sweeter than music to the ear which
has been satiated with the fulsome
and unmeaning adulation of q false
world; and the mind finds, even in
the forests gloom, and the Waihng
sound of the hoarse wind, some
thing in unison with the sombre
thoughts that are dwelling within.
Night is the. season for examina-
tion; the acts OF the day. present
themselves before the mind for
Judgment; conscience stamps its ap-
proVal or condemnation on every
action, and by its impartial voice
we are taught to improve the future
by the fOllies and errors of the past.
Night is time for music's softest
strains; its notes breaking on the
stiffness which reigns around, seems
like the voice of far off angels, and
every pulsatien of the heart is in
unison with the song. The mind is
then better suited to the reception
of holy inspirations, and oft at such
seasons we seem borne away from
earth, and stand with the heavenly
harpers near the eternal throne.
Night is a time for devotion; the
solemn sky, with its cleaning fires
and the awful silence which pre-
walls, press holy feelings upon the
soul-feeliags that bid man bow and
worship, for at such a time the
world is shut out, and man stands
alene with God.
How important then that sin
should be confessed, pardon sought,
and the conscience cleanseG before
sleep be invited.
Let us, then, ever improve its
pensive gloom, and its solemn ST.
lence. Let music swell; let prayer
arise; let thought be free. and we
shall have abundant reason to bless
God for the night.

The recent act revising the coin
age laws and re-establishing the va
rious denomination of coins and
their weights, abolished the old sill
yer dollar, and since March 18th
none have heen coined. The law
provides that the coins of the Uni
fed States shall be as follows, Wis
GOld-dOuble eagle or tWeaty-dol-
lar piece, eagle or ten-dollar piece,
half-eagle or five-dollars, three
dollar piece, quarter eagle or two
and One-half dollars, and one dollar;
silver, half dollar, quarter dollar,
and ten-cent piece; nickle, five cents,
and copper, two and One-cent pieces.
However the law also provides thst
for commercial uses only, a coin,
to be known as n trade dollar"
might be struck by the mint, at the
order of any person who desires
such coin, TO be used in business;
but this coin will not be legal ten
der, nor may il be received in pay
ment of any debt TO the United
States, or for custom duties. The
only value the coin viii have will be
a representative one, and for eonYe-
nience, as its name signifies in trade.
DR.. ii. R. Linderman, the director
of the mint, will soon select the pat
tern to be adopted, and when adopt
ed, such persons as wish them for
use in their business, may have
them struck of in such quantities as
desired, by furnishing the silver
and base metals used for alloy to the
mint, upon payment Of One-haif of
n cent for each coin struck of. The
assay of these coins will exactly rep
resent the metal value of the stand
ard dollar; but in their future use,
should they be returned to the mint
for re-cOinage, no allowance, or toll
GRAFTON of abrasion, will be allowed
as on coin of legal tender. These
coins will bear the same relation to
the legal coinage that the "bank-
marco" of Hamburg and the free
cities do to the imperial mark OF
@ Germany Columbia Nail.

ar TIE GARpEN-GArE.

Somebody came to the gardeu-saie,
While i soft hand trimmed the flowers;
And a blaekbird piped to his listening mate.
In language rich As ours.
Somebody Llushed At the sarlcn-sate-
A bush IL was fair to see;
And the sly sun peered as he fain would
wait,
And the blaek5ird paused on the tree.
Somebody spoke at the gardcn-gate,
As the shadows began 70 fall;
And the rose locked VI, though the hour
was late,
And the peach blushed pink on the wall.
A sweet head fell at the gardon-szte,
On an arm that was strong and true;
And ehirrup OF lips was heard 10 State
What words refused to do.

LASTING CHARMs.-Wemen should
be acquainted that no beauty hath
any charms but the inward one of
the mind, and that a graeefulness
in the manners is much more enga-
ging than that of their persons; that
meekness and modesty are the true
and lasting ornaments; for she that
hath these is qualified, as she ought
to be, for the management of a fam
lily, for the education of children,
for an affection to her husband, and
submitting to a prudent way of liy-
ing. These only are the charms
that render wives amiable, and give
them the best title to mans respect.

A WORD FOR THE WIFE.-There
is much good sense and truth in the
remark of modern author that no
man ever prospered in the world
without the cooperation of his wife.
Ifshe unites with him in endeaVor,
or reward his labor with an endear-
ing smile, with what confidence will
he resort to his merchandise or his
farm, fly over lands, sail over seas,
meet difficulty or encounter dangeri
He then knows that heis not spend
ing his strength in vain, but that
his labor viii be rewarded by the
sweets OF home. Solitude and dis
appointment enter the history Ofev-
cry mans life, and he is but halt pro-
vided for his voyage who finds but
an associate for his happy hours,
while for his months of darkness no
sympathizing partner is prepared.
The Nashville Banner says: The
holders of outstanding circulating
notes of the, Union Bank are notified
to file them with the Chancery
Court Clerk or receiver of the bank,
for payment on or before October 6,
otherwise they will be precluded
from participating in the dividends
to be derived from the funds Of the
bank.

NATURAL CURIosITY.-Betwecn
three and half and fsur miles from
Kingston, Roane county, and Bill
lingsley's Ferry generally known
as Paint Rock Ferry, is truly nat
ural curiosity. A short distance
from what is called the dug hill, on
the east side of the road, are two
stately trees-one a postoak, the
other a white oak. They spruRg
from the mother earth nearly thirty
feet apart. As they grew in stature
and years they seem to have had
mutual affection for each other, for
they gradually approach till, at the
hight OF about fifty feet, they unite.
At the point OF union is limb,
nearly q foot in diameter. which is
nurtured by both, and a casual OBJ
server could not tell which tree pro-
duced the twig they have mutually
nourished.-AtheHS Post.

We publish in the list of deaths of
this week, the name of George NJ.
Martin, the father of Judge Wm. p.
Martin. He was not only one OF
the best citizens of the county, but
was in many respects, the most re-
markable character of the present
age. He was in his eth year when
he died and it is authentically stated
that he, during the whole of his long
life, never witnessed a horse-race,
nor saw a game of cards played
never tasted whisky or tobacco
never fired a gun or pistol, nor did
he ever willfully take the life of any
animal or insect. He had been an
Elder in the Presbyterian Church
ever since that church was first or
ganized in Columbia, and his deVo-
tional piety has ever been a distin-
gushing feature of his character.

With the death of John Stuart
Mill, England, says the Chicago
Tribune, loses her foremost thinker,
and the world one OF the most en-
iightenod and stcadsast reformers
that ever lived. As cOnscientiOns
as Socrates, as logical as Aristotle.
as methodical as Bacon, as uncoln-
promising rs Calvin he has held the
position for a quarter Of a century
as the best trained intellect Of all
the English-speaking races. And
above and beyond his attainments
in science and philosophy, and his
invaluable contributions to the
thought and literature Of the age,
posterity will most admire his zeal
Gus and unremitting efforts 10 ele-
yate the condition and improve the
prospects of the common people,
the poorer classes, of England aud.
Ireland. Though par excellence a
thinker, though belonging to that
class OF minds who give direction to
the thought of the age rather than
busy themselves with tho details Of
political, social, or scientific caort,
be kept an eye single to the elevation
of the human race. lie held the
powers conferred upon him as q sa-
cred trust for the benefit OF his fell
lowmen, without Ostentation, with
out selfshness, and he used them
with prudence aud economy, pro-
tracing feeble and sickly physical
frame to the period of sixty-seven
years. No Englishman of modern
times has a better claim to a place
in Westminster abbey, but we pre-
sumo his wishes will be best con-
suited by an interment az Avignon,
by the side of his wife. TO whose
memory he dedicated one of his
most striking essays, and upon
whose tomb he inscribed the tri-
butte Of an imperishable love.

FEMALE LoVELINEss.-Do not
think you can make a girl lovely If
you don't make her happy There
is not one restaint you put on a
good girls nature-there is not one
check you give to her instincts Of
affection or of effort-which will not
be indelibly written on her features
with a hardness which is all the
more painful because il takes away
the brightness from the eyes OF in
nocence, and the charm from the
the brow of Virture. The perfect
lOveliness OF a Woman's cOuntenance
can only consist IN the majestic
peace which is found in the memory
of happy and useful years, fun Of
sweet records; and from the joining
of this with that yet more majestic
childishness, which is still full of
change and promise, opening always
modest at once and bright with
hope of better things TO be won and
to be bestowed. There is no old
age where there is still that promise,
it is eternal youth.

A TOUCHING INCIDENTAL short
time since, in this city, a brilliant
and much admired lady, who had
been suffering for some time with
a trOu bic of the eyes, was led to fear
a speedy charge for the worse, and
Immediately consulted her physi-
clan. An examination discovered a
sudden and fatal failing in the optic
nerve, and the information was inn
parted as gently as possible, that
the patient could not retain her
sight more than few days at most,
and was liable to be deprived of IL
at any moment. The afflicted moth
er returned to her home, quietly
made such arrangements as would
occur 10 one about to commence so
dark a journey of life, and then had
her two little children-attired in
their brightest and sweetest cos
tumes-brougbt before her; and so,
with their little faces lifted to hers,
and tears gathering for some great
misfortune that they hardly realized, +,
the light faded out of the mother ;
eyes, leaving an in0fIaceable picture
of those dearest TO her on earth-a
memory of bright faces that will
console her in many a dark hour.
