"THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BANNER"


And in the commencement of this little work
of love, being boys, ourselves, may we not appeal
to every Sunday School boy, and girl in North
Carolina to come up promptly to aid the under
taking. In own State, there are very many
Sabbath Schools, and from the best information
we have the scholarship is large and increasing,
and it is from them look for that patronage
which is necessary to improve and keep floating
this native staadard which we propose for their
benefit 1t is not for pecunary gain that the
"BANNER,' is established; it has for its aim
higher objects, and if we succeed in our enter
PRISE it will be to in after life source OF great
satisfaction to know that, in our boyhood days.
we gave a helping hand to Sunday Schools, the
preparatory Schools for places of high trust and
position, in the work of our Heavenly Father.


Its name sufficiently indicates the object which
is to control its editorial conduct. There is ne
cessity however for the remark that it will not be
denomnational but alike open to all the Sabbath
Schools of this State for contributions, in which
there is spice of sectarai!ism.


The BANNER - will be issued monthly on hand
some type, clear white paper and will contain
fourteen columns reading matter, quarto length


We trust sufficient encouragement may be Of
fered to justify the undertaking.

Mr.. Robertson, Mail Agent on the
Atlantic and Great Western Road
between this city and Cleveland, re-
lated to us, yesterday, the strange
item about a farmer who prevented
terrible disaster on that road near
Mansfield, Ohio, at the time of the re-
cent general freshet. We had before
seen paragraph relating to the sing.
ular affair. Mr.. r. conversed with the
farmer, and here is the story, in short;


The farmer "a Pennsylvanian) went
to bed during the heavy and protract-
ed storm, Monday night, and dream
ing that the fill across q chasm, some
hundred feet deep, had given way un-
der a passenger train and let it down
into the abyss, he sprung up to render
assistance to the passengers, ran to the
door, and was fastening from the
house, when his wife awakened him.


He related his dream, and went to bed
again, but slept little more during the


night. The dream made such a deep


impression on his mind that he hast


ened to the chasm next morning early,


to see what condition it was in; but


the road was apparently all right,
though the water was pouring and


surging through the large culvert be-


meath as though it would wash the


earth away. Tuesday night the farmer


could not rest for thinking about his


dream of the previous night, and get


ting up, he procured his lantern and


hurried off to the chasm. When he
. arrived there he found, to his terror,


that the huge fill had been washed out,


leaving nothing but the unsupported
ties and track over the chasm! Hear
, ing the train laundering toward de-
t struction, the farmer clambered across
q the dreadful break, and running down


the road some distance, he signaled
: the approaching train to stop. And
e so short was the time, that by the
o time the engineer was able to "hOld
t up" the engine was within but few
q feet of the chasm.


The train was large, and was filled
V with persons who had been to the


great Union meeting at Mansfield

/ from a horrible death For the train
: would have plunged down the fright.
J, full precipice, car upon car, crushing

The story from the pen of "CoRHY
OLANUS," published in another column,
is one which we have already laid be-
fore our readers, but from the clearness
with which it illustrates the Radical
temper and disposition. we think it
worthy of repetition. The Ratlical
whale is not to be diverted from its de-
structive purposes by any small tubs
which may be thrown to it by the timid
and the peaceably inclined If we are
not prepared to make complete sur
render, we may rs well deny all de-
mands and eight it out on the first
issue.' One concession will be the
mere prelude to another demand.
Sacrifice will follow sacrifice. To
yield is to envite encroachment, and
if we ever intend to offer opposition,
the hour of the first attack is the time
for resistance. Nothing is to be gained
by abandoning principle to pacify the
enemy. Such action only wcakens the
defences, and renders our success less
probable in the decisive struggle, which,
like O'KEEGAN's fight, is sure to come
in the end.

A correspondent asks us to publish
the best method of keeping cabbages
through the winter. and havingOn hand
q letter on the very subject, which meets
the case, we give it in the writer's Ian
puape. By the way, we will state that
the authority is sound: Il let my cab
bage stand until late in the season, and
if discover no symptoms OF rot, until
we have unmistakable signs of the ap-
pearance of winter, ] choose the dryest
part of my garden or field, and with
spade or hoe dig holes in rows, say two
feet apart, just large enough to receive
two-thirds of cabbage head. select
one of the largest and most solid heads,
phil ID up by the roots, wrap it up in
the large coarse leaves that grow to the
stalk, and chuck il into one of the holes,
with the stump inclining upward at an
angle of forty-five degrees. or even
placed vertically. Nothing now re-
mains but to shovel on two or three
inches of dirt, and press it down upon
the head and around the stump, few
inches of which may be left above
ground TO mark the spot and serve as
handle to pull the cabbage up by.


Treated in this way, have found them
finer By far, frcsher, sweeter and more
render than when gathered In the fail,
and Inever lost sound head. have
gone out in March, when there were
three feet of snow on the ground, and
with a shovel and crow bar, have ex-
humed such cabbages as would have
made your correspondents mouth water,
and long after the frost was out of the
ground have found them equally as
good. This mode is attended with some
more labor than that Of huddling them
into large holes or trenches, or hanging
til, m up in 4 cellar, but to those who
are fond Of fresh cabbages in the spring,

the same, having spent some years in

PROFESSOR Goss, having had COM
mon beetle brought to him, placed it for
the convenience of the moment under a
quart bottle full ofmilk, which happen
ed to be on the table. Presently, to the
surprise of everybody present, the bot
tie began to move slowly and glide
along the smooth table, propelled by the
muscular power of the imprisoned in
sect. The weight of the bottle and its
contents could not have been less than
three pounds and half, while that OF
the beetle was about half an ounce, so
that it really moved weight one hun
dred and twelve times its own. A better
notion of this fact than figures can con-
vey, says the writer, will be obtained by
suppo.ing lad of fifteen to be impris-
oned under the great bell OF st. Pauls,
which weighs 10000 pounds, and to move
it to and fro on smooth pavement by
pushing within.

The method by which the Radicals
expect TO succeed at the uext Presiden-
tial election, was clearly indicated by
the bill offered in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Tuesday last, by Nr.


WILSON, of Iowa. This bill if passed,
will prevent any of the Southern States
from taking part in any Presidential
election, until the Radical Representa-
tives of portion of the country shall
decree otherwise. The bound and
beaten victims must wear their man


acles and bear their stripes until the
sated fury of their tormentors shall bid


their limbs be loosed and their wounds
healed. A complete satisfaction of
Radical passion and greed for power is
the only condition upon which por-
ton of the American people can eX-
ercise those privileges which
legally and rightfully are the common
property of all our citizens. Revenge
must be glutted, ayarce must be salts
fed, corruption must be filled, love
and lust of power that grows as 1T feeds
must be fully sated before "the law
making power of the United States"
will declare the Southern States IRE
stored to their political relations to the
Union" and, consequently, "entitled to


representation in the Electoral Col

thwart Radical plan or prejudice

equality be denied. Their representa-
tion in the Electoral College OF

an honest and incorruptible man. The
Radicals propose to provide against any
such contingency, and secure the cleo
ton of their candidate by the passage
of the bill to which we have referred


Should a Radical defeat be rendered

Northern ear. The same reasons that
prompt that exclusion now will continue
to incite it, as long as the South shall
oppose the Radicalism of the North. A
fear of losing power and plunder
is the only motive for Radical ac-
tion in this regard at present, ard

Editors of Begister:


suppose you and your readers would

nish any sensational news items. We
are quietly pursuing the "even tenor OF

about State politics, although we felt
considerable interest in the late cleo

The decrease to sixty-fiye does not show
much progress, to be sure, but then,

very little "lawing" among neighbors,
and personal quarrels and drunken
brawls, none. Our farmers are gather

benefit us immensely to have some way
to get it to market. So, also, have we
