A "Reminiscences Of Stonewall Jackson.
HIS WOUND AT THE BATTLE OF MANASSAS


10 the February number of the Richmond
Medical Journal, we 6ud an able paper op
"gunshot wounds of joints" from the pen of
DR.. Hunter Mcclure, Professor of Surgery
in the Virginia Medical College, and, du-
ring the war, Chief Surgeon of the Staff of
General Stouewall Jackson. 10 the course
of bis remarks, speaking Of guushot wounds
of the hands, the doctor cites the case of
the wound received by his renowned chief
at the first battle of Manassas. The doctor
writes:

The ball struck the foger q little on one
side, broke it, and carried off small piece
of the bone. He remained on the field,
wounded, as he was, till the fight was over,
and then wanted to take part in the pursuit,
but was peremp,orily ordered back to the
hospital by the general commanding.


On bis way to the rear, the wound pain

"The subject of polygmy was treated upon

upon the merits of that subject have moth

adopted the principle in pursuance Of the
revelations of God to us. No doubt but that
we may have more or less trouble in conse-
quence of it, as every gift and blessing from

corresponding trial, and through much trib-
ulation we enter the kingdom. There are

EFFECTS OF FEAR.-It is a common prac
tice, in many parts of India, to oblige per.
sons suspected of crimes to chew rice in
presence of the officers Of the law. Curious
as it may appear, such is the intense influ
ence of fear on the salivary glands that, if
they are actually guilty, there is no secretion
of saliva in the mouth, and chewing is i'm
possible. Such culprits generally confess
without any further effort. On the contrary
consciousness of innocence allows of
proper flow of fluid for softening the rice.

judicial Decision In VIrEIniR-A White


Man Can RightfuIly Shoot a Negro.


WASHINGTON, November 25.-An exofiicer of
the FIeedmen's Bureau, who has Just returned
to this city from a trip through the northern
part OF Virginia, reports that the mountainous
region, including the towns of Lynchburg,
Lexington, Stanton, ETC., is bitterly hostile to
the black man and the white Unionist. The
latter are slowly selling out their real estate
and moving Dorthward. 1t is with the utmost
difficulty, and in spite of bitter opposition from
the people OF that section OF the country, that
Colored schools are established there. The fol-
lowing iudicial decision, jus, given in Lexng-
ton, reveals the feeling OF even the best class OF
the whites towards the negroes:-


A lew days since, q respectable black man
walking home ward Just at dark, saw young
man, who turned out to be one OF the students
OF General Lees College, talking with a colored
girl. Thinking he probably meant to accomplish
her ruin. the black man stood sill q moment
to watch. The student, noticing that he
stopped, ordered him to move on. The negro
remaining quiet, the student, with threat,
renewed his order, to which the black man
replied that he had right to stand on the
sidewalk. The student rushed into a building
close by, where some of his classmates roomed,
and demanded pistol.


When summoned to give their evidence a. the
trial, the students testified that they asked him
what he wanted pistol tor, and he replied, "Io
shoot negro with who insulted me-" They
advised him to take q club and knock him
down; but on his refusal to take the club, one
OF them handed him revolver. He immedi-
ately returned to the street; but the negro hal
gone. Ascertaining the direction from the girl
he went after him, shot him through, and then
returned to his associates.


The negro died before morning, but lived
long enough to testify against his murderer
On the trial the pistol was produced, and all the
facts proved. The judge, after hearing all the
testimony, including the statement of the
student himself, decided that the laws of Vir-
Pluia have always recognized the difference be-
tween the white man and the black; that a
white man may protect himself from negro in
salts; that though the deed was clearly proved,
il was the result of the insult; and that, there
toro, he should discharge the defendant from
custody.


The effect of this decision is to justify shooting
a negro in cold blood who eudeavors to save
any OF the females OF his race from injury or

A most revolving case of infanticide
occurred at Hazleton last Thursday.
An unmarried woman, acting in the
capacity of servant at one of the ho-
tells ofthat place, was known to be in
delicate situation, and in the after
noon of the day above mentioned, it
was discovered that issue was had,
and that the proof had been mystic
riously disposed of. A search was in
stituted by some of the citizens, which
resulted in the finding Of the body of
newly-born infant entombed in a

But is it not quite time we were hav-
ing some. plain truth on so simple q
patter? Will not some advocate for
beauty and symmetry take part of the
women and the hoop skirt makers,
and VOW boldly that concealment of
the person is no part of the design of
the present fashions, nor any intrin-
sic portion of female modesty? Why
should the women hide the charms
of their locomotive organs? Do we
not delight to see the feet and shape
ly limbs of children, and adorn, deco
rate, and exhibit them with commend
able pride? Is there anything indie
cent in that? and are not the fully de-
veloped legs of perfect women quite
as attractive and admirable?


Besides, this new device is really a
very old one, AS early as 1757 an old
English poet said:


with silks and hoops full five yards wide,
To show us how their garters are tied"


It is not to be supposed that the
purer instincts of maidens, mothers,
and wives could repeat such odious
follies if there were anything which
violated natural modesty about them.
Perhaps there is nothing to which the
motto could be more appropriately
applied, unless it were the garter, of
which it was originally said, Hoai

DIR. Gall mentions having seen
a person in prison in Friburg, who
had set fire to his house four times
in succession; and who, after he
had set fire to it, tried to put it
out. Some have an irresistible
desire to steal, without any other
mark of insanity. Gall says that
the King of Sweden was always
stealing trifes, Instances are
mentioned Of a German, who was
constantly pilfering; and of anoth-
er who, having the desire to steal,
entered the army, hoping thesevere
discipline there could restrain him.
But he gave way to the propensity
even there; and was near being
hanged. He then became a friar,
with the same hope; but he still
felt the same desire, and carried
all the things he could to his cell.
Gall also mentions that person at
Vienna, in the habit of stealing,
hired a lodging in which to depos-
it his thefts; and when he got
stock, he sold them. The wife of
physician at Leyden never went
into shop to buy anything with
out stealing; and countess of


Frankfort had the same propensity.
Another lady, Notwithstanding all
the care with which she had been
brought up, had the same desire
to pilfer. You will find it related
of a physician, that his wife was
always obliged to examine his
pockets in the evening, and re-
store to his patient the things she
found there. He always took
something as well as his fee. Mer-
itz speaks of a criminal who at
the moment he was about to be
executed, stole the professors
