A vivid Picture of a Battle.

A lad asked General Averill how he
foIt ia his first battle. The general
said:
Leaving out of consideration some
twenty odd Indian fights in which / was
engaged before the war, and in one of
which was wounded so as to be obliged
20 walk on crutches for nearly two years,
will state that my first fight was Bull
Rim, in 1861. My feeling on entering
the battle was, as saw the enemy hast
ening to their position, that there was
great and useless crime about to be com
naitted; the second, as / can remember
tiae whizzing and HURTING of the first
solid shot from the enemy through the
trees and tearing along the ground, was

non ball; next / was startled, amazed
and Mortified to see a man who had been
hit on the head by fragment of shell
springing about and shedding blood
like chicken with It's head just stricken
of; after that wonder at the excitement,
amounting to kind of delirium, of our
chief commanders, who galloped about
yelling to any one who would keep still
enough to listen about what the enemy
were doing, and generally calling for re-
endorsements like frightened idiots;
then the woful lack of capable com
mander Of our forces, with headquart-
ers, was felt; and, TO skip to the last, un-
comfortable indignation and mortifca-
ton at the failure of our army TO win
the battle, as with the rear we withdrew
from the field. The only consolation to
be found was to know that the enemy
were not much, if any, better off than
ourselves in efficient handling / trust
you will never be called upon to under
go such trying sensations

Queer State OF Things.

A curious complication has arisen in
consequence of the murder of the Wool
folk family by Tom voolfolk, near Ma
con, Ca, which was one of the most re-
voltiug tragedies of this generation. The
murderer now lies hi Jail under sentence
of death, and he has been approached by
the heirs of both his murdered father and
mother. No one but the condemned man
knows the particulars of the crime. If
he killed his father first, his mothers heirs
will come into the property; but if his
mother died first, his two surviving Sis
ters and himself succeed to the property.
A full confession from this monster is cN-
pected before his execution, in order to
clear up this point

Six and d Half Tens Of Diamonds.

Surely even Sindbad the Sailor never
ventured to compute his diamonds by
the ton. Six and half tons of diamonds,
valued at about Gao, 000,0 900, are report
ed to have been extracted from four
African mines alone in the course of the
last few years. The other great diamond
field Of the world is India, also British
possession. Everybody knows that Am
gterdam has hitherto been the centre of
the dinmond-cutting industry of the
world, and in former times there was
good reason for this, as in London, at
least, the industry was extinct. But
everybody probably does not know that
of late years efforts have been success
fully made to reintroduce diamond cut
ting in England and that English cut
ters have beaten the Dutch in several
recent prize competitions Considering
the enormous value of the trade-the
United states alone, it is calculated, re-
quires CO, 600, 900 worth of cut diamonds
per annum care should be taken that
English diamonds should be cut in Eng
land, and not be sent either to Amster-
dam on to Antwerp and Paris, which
have lately endeayored to secure II por-
ton of the Dutch trade st. flames Ga.
