ter way than to show the enthusiasm Tor
perhaps l might say the desperation) Of
the southern youth at that period than
Is indicated by plan concocted by
Jackson, and in which he had enlisted
some fifty of tho young mon of Alexan-
dria and Fairfax. 1t would be rcmem-
bered that the United States steamer
Pawnee was early in April, 1861, anchored
off Alexandria, while the government
gave assurance that any hostile demon
stration by the inhabitants would be the
signal for the guns to open upon tho town.
jackson planned tho capture here and,
even before attempting TO enlist tho
necessary mon, he had already bought
graphing irons from tho shipchandlers
and had the boats necessary provided for
transportation.
Whom, in one Of the parlors Of the
Marshall house, no, before largo crowd
of picked men, opened his plan, which
was simply to take advantage Of tho first
cloudy night and board and storm the
vessel, there was an uproar Of applause,
but after time tho writer and others
gained hearing and represented that the
state had not sooedod, that there was no
hostile foot on our soil, and what could
we do with tho Pawnoo after wo had
captured herH II was finally agreed to
postpone tho expedition, and soon there
after Jackson was killed, after having
killed tho young Col. Ellsworth. AS
have said above, Jackson was neither an
assassin nor brute; he was simply a
type Of class which arose and had its
being under tho prevalent institutions OF
the southern regime. There are no doubt
many Of the old residents, especially Of
Georgetown, who remember Jim Jackson,
and remember him kindly, and these also
will bear witness to those terrible days''
of the spring Of 1861. MURRAY.

The cultivation of tho white-plumed
pampas grass and the curing of its plumes
Is an industry recently established in Los
Angeles county, Cal, which promises TO
develop into lucrative business. Under
proper cultivation this plant grows to
luxurlance of foliage unknown in its
natural state and produces splendid
feathery plume nearly three feet in
length. These plumes are highly priced
in New York and other eastern cities,
where they find ready sale at 30 cents
apiece. As an ornament for room
nothing can be more beautiful than a
gracefully arranged bunch of panpas
plumes. About 100000 of those plumes
were cured in Los Angeles county last
year, the greater portion of which found
their way east of the Rockies This year
crop will be larger, as the area of land
devoted to their cultivation has been con-
siderably increased.

Horrible Massacre.

A despatch from Mandalay says: A
horrible massacre has occurred in this
city. The guards placed in charge of the
principal prison, which is constructed of
bamboo, set fire to one of the sides of the
editice, and, having assured themselves
that the flames were already beginning to
invade the parts which served as shelter
to the wretched prisoners, opened the
gates, in front of which there had been
drawn up a good number of soldiers arm
ed with guns and swords. Then they
thew themselves like wild beasts upon
those who, to escape being burned alive
rushed ont of the gates. The massacre last
ed all the night,ln the presence
of the highest functiOnarles OF
the town, who with cries and ges
| ticulationS excited the assassins against
their passive victims. The number OF
| killed exceeded POO, and among them wer,
some relations of Prince Nung Tan, who
is at present living at Calcutta The day
after the massacre the bodies, mutilateC
i'll manner too horrible to describe, wer,
lying heaped about on carts and in tn,
streets of the town. For some months
past the prisons here and elsewhere hay,
been crowded with brigands and politica
prisoners. A revolt was feared and thu
governor could find no better eXpedien
to avoid it than to give proof of his deter
mined ferocity by ordering the MASSACRE
of all prisoners without distction of Sc y
age, or the cause of imprisonment.
