MOUNT SINAI.
THE OLD LOVE AND THE NEW.

A recent discovery is now agitating the geo.
graphical societies Of Europe, the which, we pre-
dict, will yet make prodigious stir In the relI-
gious world. Mr.. Charles Beke, the eminent &C.
ographeT and OrientRlst, lately undertook q
journey up the gulf Of Akabs for the purpose of
discovering the true Mount Sinai; and he has
written letter to the London Times, dated from
Suez, the 18th Of February, announcing the full
success Of his explorations; that he has found the
Mount Sinai Of the Old Testament on the east
side Of the gulf Of Akaba, and that he has abund-
ant proof, to be hereafter published, that he is
correct In his conjectures. A glance at any ordi-
pBry map will show that the gulf of Akaba runs
from the Red Sea In q northeasterly direction
The triangular piece Of land situated between the
Red Sea and the gulf of Akaka has been COM
monty called the Sinaitie peninsula, and 1t has
hitherto been universally believed that Mount ST.
mai was one Of the many mountain-tops found in
that Singular region, though doubts have existed
whether It was on Jebel Musa or Jebsl Serial
that Jehovah showed himself to Moses and re-
veaIed the law.
Indeed, so absolutely Gxed was the belief that
the real Mountain Of the Law was one Of two or
three mountains not far from each other that the
researches Of pIous and enthusiastic travellers
have been directed chiefly to the Identification of
the various encampments Of the Israelitss after
they had crossed the Red Sea on their way TO
Mount Sinai. Moreover, Sinai survey expedI-
tion, under the auspices Of the Ordnance Survey
Department Of England, has made Q topograph-
zeal survey Of the peninsula. and, aided by zeal
Gus apd scientific members Of the Palestine Ex.
pioration Society, has determined with approx
native accuracy the itineracy Of the Israelites
from the time they loft Ramesss in Egypt till
they arrived in the Promised Land. To these
mountains Of Sinai, therefore, for the last twenty
i've years, or since steam has opened an easy ac-
cess to Egypt and the Holy Land, have hundreds
and thousands Of travellers, and notably large
number Of our own countrymen, directed their
steps, animated, some few by mere love Of adven-
ture, but BY far the larger number BY reverent
desire to confirm their faith BY treading the very
places where the CHOSEN people Of God had been
miraculously fed and sustained. The Impressions
derived from travels amid places made msmora-
BILE by the more immediate presence Of the Most
High among his worshipers are most sslutary
and delightful. The treasures OF knowledge are
enriched, enthusiasm is kindled, faith seems al
most turned to sight; and that mind must be
cailous indeed that Is not afane with reverence
and awe when It comes before the mountain side
down which Moses descended, three thousand
years ago, bearing in his hand the first reYela-
lions Of God to man.
But what must be the feelings Of countless pil-
grims If Mr.. Beke's new discoveries be confirmed,

WEARING HER PADDOCK,
1t might be hoped that she was a little ashaned
Of the habit which it symboliSed, and would en-
deavor to reform. To anybody sincerely anxious
of curing herself OF the psrnicious habit Of b'ab-
bng, the little paddock fastened TO her bunch of

whenever It met her eyes, Of the fault and her
resolution 10 cure #. Ifths suggestion should be
adopted by any London jeweler, the padloeki

We venture to suggest to all blabs anxious not to

TIckell, writing in the Spectator in 1I12, pro-
poses that, in order to put TO shame 6 certain
GLASS of persons who are in the habit OF talking
rudey In the presence OF ladies, particular form
of paddock should be designed and sold, with
printed directions for fastening IL on the mouth;
ana that any woman whose modesty was offended
by any Of those rude takers should be at liberty
TO produce the paddock and read the directions
before his face Might not some such plan as that
proposed by Tickel be tried with our blabs in the
present day? 1t would not agree with our modern
motions OF politeness TO produce paddock and a
printed paper in the eonrss of dinner or Of after
noon tea, but surely some enterprisng firm might
design neat little paddock in aluminium, to be
worn by ladies as 8 charm, and to be sent auony

Indian war-whoop. The effect produced
upon all who heard him was simply mag
zeal. Pausing for moment, Houston re
sumed and said: HGeDtlemen Of the jury,
the pretended owner of the beef alleged TO
have been stolen was Tory. He fled tine
country under the Just Indignation and
wrath Of my client, Captain Kokonut, ana
how dare one Of these Tories charge my
client with stealing beef?"
Snow, gentlemen" said he, 81 am to be
followed BY my friend, General Davis, and
with his permission will tell you how ne
comes 10 be in the prosecution Of this case.
You know, gentlemen, it was custom,
but Of yesterday, L may say, when, on ae-
count Of the want of hotel accommodations,
the lawyers attending the courts We're I'M
der the necessity Of stalking out their horses
on the prairie with lariat' and cabrose,T
while they attended the causes of their ell
ents in the court. Now it happened, said
he, that while my friend, the General, was
attending the Liberty Court, he was the
owner of very fine mule which he had
staked out on fine cabrose, and while the
General was in court looking after the in
terests Of his clients, somebody stole the
Generals cabrose. / have no doubt but
that one ofthese .forty-five Tories stole the
cabrose, and forthwith it was laid upon
my client, Captain Kokonut. Why
should he steal a cabrose? Why, gentle
men, he can make better cabrose than
any man in America. Now, if it had been
said that my friend, the General, had stolen
cabrose, there might possibly be some
plausability in that, because the General
cannot make eabrose. This only goes to
show you, gentlemen Of the jury, how these
fOrty-fve tories have been and are now per-
scouting one of the brave men who fought
to set Texas free. Let your patriotism and
devotion to Texas dictate your verdict"
It is needless to say that Kokonut was
Immediately acquitted. Nay, more; the
jury notified the State witnesses that if
they did not leave the town within five
minutes, they would be treated TO a coat of
tar and feathers and rode out on rail to
the tune of the "Rogue's March"

Bloody Work I'm Madison County-An
Innocent Child Murdered.

jackson Courier Herald, Oct. 81.
The fatal dOuble-barreled shotgun has
been at its bloody work again, and another
victim, this time pure and innocent child,
has been added to the long catalogue Of
death by the violence Of mans brutal pas
sions. Last Saturday night, about dark,
near Carroll Station, in this county, John
Annis and George Morgan called ID. L.
Griswell out of his brothers house, where
he was living, and asked him his name I;
he replied " that he did not know them,"
and was starting back into the house. An
mis- fired at him with adouble-barreled shot
gun, loaded with buck-shOt, WOunding him
in the shoulder. One of the shot went in
at the door, and pierced the heart of lit
tie boy five or six years old, who was
standing inside Of the house, in range
with the door, killing him instantly. The
mother of the murdered child was standing
in the door, and hearing Annis cock his
gun, stepped aside, little dreaming of the
danger of her child. She thought it was
in an adjoining room, and only learned its
fate when, after the firing. she found it
lying under the supper table, the warm
young life-blOOd gushing from its pure and
tender heart. ID. E. Griswell is a brother
to the GriSwell who participated in the
killing of Hooper at Oakfeld some two
months 81 &c, and the murdered child was
his child. d. Z. Griswell was living with
his brothers family in his absence. twill
be remembered that JOnn Annis was badly
beaten at the time Hooper was killed, and
BY the same parties. Annis sought to re-
venge himself upon ID. f. Griswell, for
the injury he had received from his
brother, and in doing so, he struck
nearer his enemys heart, by killing his
child. Annis and Morgan met Griswell
in Jackson last Saturday, and Morgan ask
ed him if he was brother to Griswell, who
helped to kill Hooper. Upon learning that
he was, Morgan remarked shat they would
go home together in the evening Girls
well went home first, and they followed on,
going out" of their best and most direct
route to pass the house Of Griswell. They
were both drinking. Annis drew his pistol
on a negro whom he met in the road and
Threatened to shoot him. Farther on in
passing the house of Mr.. Millner, he fired
at the dogs, and being reproved by Mr..
Millner he fired at him with a shotgun,
striking his house, but doing no harm.
They then went to the house of Griswell
and enacted the horrible tragedy before
mentioned. Morgan and Annis were tried
last Wednesday before Squires Persons and
Chapel. Annis was refused bail. Nor
gan's bail was fixed at Sl,5OO, and he was
remanded to Jail in default of bail.
