O BAkRELS and 20 sacks ofIrish Potatoes, justn recev44 for sale by laS L.SEJ CI 4 ER.,
i' BB~~ ITwo years ago we were at the little town of
Columbia on the banks of the Mississippi, atthat time a place of some local interest, fromthe fact of, a rufflian being imprisoned there pre-vious to his trial for murdering a poor laboringman. The victim of this ferocious murder hadcalled at Stewatt's bouse after sunset andbegged a lodging for the night, which wasgranted, but after the man sought the restingplace pointed out to him, Stewart in a spirit ofbrutal sport set his dogs upon him, and urgedthem on until the poor fellow, after vainly at-tempting to defend himself from their attacks,was literally torn to pieces and then flung outof doors to die.
The circumstances of this horrible murdermay still be fresh in the memory of many, butthe details of the capture of the murderer havenever we believe been made public. And asthe personage concerned in the arrest, togetherwith the mode in which it was performed,afforda fine opportunity for examplifying some of thepeculiarities of western frontier character, weshall give the relation as we beard it from oneof the actors, indeed the principal in the affair.But to begin at the beginning.
About two weeks afterleaving Columbia,wewere standing at the door of a small house inthe little town of Jonesboro,' on the Ouachita,and consisting of five or six log dwellings anda cotton shed of the same primitive architecture.Near where we stood were two Arkansawyersas they call themselves, engaged in earnestconversation, in the course of which one ofthem used a phrase, which though common atthe place, was at least new to us. Itwas-Ah!he's a striker.
Now although curiosity is said to be the pe-culiar prerogative of women we must confessthat man has likewise no small share of thesame ticklish prolp ity, at least we felt it onthe occasion, and sfepping forward said:
"My friend, what do you mean by a stri-ker?"
The man eyed us for a moment, and thenreplied-
"Why you see, stranger-but stop a bit tillI take a Virginny feast."
"A Virginny feast," thought we, "what isthat."
We soon knew, for after diving into the re-cesses of his capacious pocket he drew forth alarge piece of chewing tobacco and after offer-` ing it to us with "Have a chaw," he bit off suffi-cient to poison a horse, and rolling it to the side
of his cheek, he commenced his explanationafresh.
"Why you see, stranger, Moses and Aaronwar strikers. George Washington war astriker,general Jackson war a striker, and that manthar," pointing to an individual a short distanceoff, "lie's a striker, and no mistake. He aintfelt his oats for nothin', I tell ye."
I The "man thar," indicated as astriker,was ashort, lean, muscular man, dressed in a whiteblanket coat, with stripes round the skirt andover the shoulders so common to the south. Hebore in the bend of his arm a long rifle, andat his side a stained and greasy leather pouchfor bullets, from which also depended a longhunting knife in its sheath.
After taking this survey, we turned to ournew acquaintance and said-
"What has he done to give him that title?""Done-what, Ru' Bell? Didn't he captivate
Dick Stewart,""This then was the man who had performed
that exploit," thought we, looking at him withstill more interest, for the fame of the deed,spread far and wide through those primitiveregions, and we inwardly wished we could hearhim relate the manner in which it was achieved.A few days afterwards we were gratified.
"You see," said he, to a knot of auditors onboard a steamboat going to Ecore Fabre. "Yousee, thar was a reward offered to anybody thatwould take Dick Stewart, and so I thought Imight as well have it as not."
"But were you not anxious about the result?This Stewart was by all accounts a desperate
Scharacter, and I heard a man say-'If Dickf Stewart told him to swim the Mississippi, he
it would have to do it."
"I know, stranger, but that was the best ofit. I said to myself, Ru' Bell, you aint had aStearing down fight for a mighty long time, andhere's a smart chance to wake you up. ButI'll get somebody to gojest to see fair play like.So I called on gineral Plummer, and sea he, asI aint got nothing to dojest now, I don't care ifI jine you,-and then I knocked up Rafe Mor-
if gan, and he said as though he had the agurrather tall, he reckoned he could see the funi'twix the shakes. So he got our plunder, andput it in a dug-out, and started for the bio Bar-
I tholomee, as I hearn tell Stewart was in theswamp up that way. When we got to the
d i swamp we bruck thro' the cane, makin' a beer line for the nigger hut whar I more'n spected, Dick Stewart 'arthed.
"I know'd all the diggins' well, and tharwarn't a trail I had not follered, from the Mis-sissippi to the Washtaw, for many time I had
n hunted bar and sychlike vermin from bio Bar-tholomee, camping' out o' nights and startin'fresh next mornin.'
"But were you not afraid of the wolves?""Well I wan't hoss! Wolves can't skear me,
nor painters nuther. The bars is wuss nor allthe other vermin put together-they have got amighty nasty hug I tell ye."
"Then you have been scared by the bears?""Well, stranger, I do confess that corn-
once't-a few. But as I was sayin', we strucka bee-line through the cane, and bimeby wecome in sight of the little log house, then sez Ito the gineral, 'gineral,' sez I, 'you go on oneside, and Rafe on the other, and don'tyou twodo nothin' onless Dick tries to make tracks forthe swamp."
"When I seed 'em stand well off, I edgesmyself to a big cotton-wood tree, at a goodshootin' distance, and hollers out:
"Hullo house, and bimeby I seed the dooropen a leetle-jest a leetle, and then Stewartput his head round the corner of the door post.As soon a he sees me, he sez:
"What the h-I do you want here, Ru'?""I want you, Dick, says I.""You aint come to take me?" sez he, lookin'
as black thunder."Well, I am boss, sais I sort o' quiet like;
and here's gineral Plummer and Rafe Morgancome to see fair play."
"You had a bloody sight_ better clear outwhile you can," sez he 'for I'm not gwinetobetaken alive, I tell ye."
"I dare say, sez I, but I'm the man that'sgwine to take you Dick-the gineral and Rafewon't do nothing' jest to oblige me onless youtry to streak it."
"Go 'way Ru' I don't want to hurt you,"sez he, "you see I am not onprepared."
"That's a fact, says I, you've got two rifles,a double barrelled shot gun, two pistols and abowie-knife, it ain't no use, boss--you mustcome."
"Must come," saz be, gripping his rifle, andlookin' audaciously savage. "Must come! lookhere, Riu' Bell, 'taintfive men can-take me, norten nuther, and you know it? so you'd bettermake tracks for the bio mighty quick or I'llblow my rifle through you•? •
"That's all c'rect enough, Dick," se I look-in' right into his e6aRll tshe time, fr he was
ict noin ' pad it i w,* lpbetw bfor itthib,' and it l 'il -1&b well laci
to go home without you. Besides, what wouldthe gineral and Rafe say-I promised them a aifight and it would be onfair to disapoint them, ccit would."
"Well," sez he lookin' as savage as she bar inwhat has cubs, "If you will have itblaze away, tithen." itS "No, Dick, says I, I'm made up mind to cap- h;tivate you, but its agin the laws for me to fire isbefore you've made any resistance, so shoot on ccat once or else s'render-it aint no use talkin' tiso much about it, for you must come." tl
"Stranger you should have hearn him rir and sfcuss, when I said that, he stamp'd and he swore niand called me all manner o' names, ontil he tichurned himself up into a froath? but it wa'nt tlno use-he couldn't skear me, nor yit put me gin a passion and make me forget what I war gdoing-I've fit Ingins too much for that. So all laat once't he gave a screech, and blazed right tcaway. I seed what war coming, and so I dodged dbehind the cotton- wood tree. I warjustin time pfor the bullet ploughed along the bark and tuk leoff a spinter right agin my mouth, and the windof it tuck away my breath, so as to make me bstagger o' one side a leetle, when crack! come a:another bullet and rips my hat right off my ahead." a
"Hooray!" sez Stewart "that's twice I've hit ayou, Ru', go home, now, like a good boy you acan't take me." d
"I didn't say nothin' but I drops quiety downbehind the tree, and curling my rifle round it ftblazed away at him, and hit him in the side,and t<f when I seed him fall back, I crawls to the wother end of the big gum tree which lay on hthe ground rottenin' and turning on my back aand loads my rifle in double quick time, and nthen I peeps the leetlest mite through a crook ain the limb to see for Stewart. .Thar he was in othe door-way, with his lips tight clinched and gi his eyes a flashin', and looking all about after a
me with a kind of snort. His face was a little t<-pale and the blood was oozing out from his side. 1Well, he waited just so for a good while-he nwatching' for me, and I a peepin' for a chance wat him, forhe kept himself covered pretty iuch j
1 with the door post, and it warn't no use to fling faway a shot. At last I got tired, and thought rI'd a better draw him out. So I lifted my hair von my head until it stood straight up like, and fi
- showed above the log. Crack went his rifle fIagain and I felt the bullet scalp me, but I jumps hup and fires right intohim. I knowedI struck chim, for he guy a queer sort o' screw to his bmouth and fell back behind the door post again. b
"Well after this, we wasted a good deal o' i dtime a watchin' for one another, but at last I scotched his eye shining between the logs, and othen I thought I would try a trick on him that I thad practysed on the Ingins once afore. So I he wobbled along on my belly like a sarpent till Iv
t reached the cotton wood tree, I swung myself aright round it, as he fired I jumped away up na with a shreek, and then fell kerthump right flat t
e on the 'arth. The moment I did so, he sprang c
out all bleedin' and struck for the canebrake,but ne Rafe Morgan dashed forward, and ketchin him t
d in his arms, flung him down, and thar they dh rastled, fust one down and then t'other, till tStewart got Rafe undermost, and then I seed ahim fumble in his side for somethin', and pres-r ently ginneral Plummer called to me quick-
"Look out, Ru'! look out! Shoot Stewart the iscoundrel. See, see he's a gwine to knife I
e Morgan.""And sure enough the bowie knife was
d about to make a plunge when I fired. Well, Ih allers said Dick was a real roarer-what d'ye
think he did? Why he dropped his knife and te flung Rafe uppermost, just in time for my bullet i
to perforate him through and through!" tl1 'What Morgan-your friend?"
"True as gospel stranger. It was a cleann hole in at one side and out at t'other side. Wellu it made me mad to see Rafe turn over on his
.t back, so I sprung forward and afore Stewart I
I could use his knife again, I pinned him to the Iground.
"S'render!" sez I.:e "I'll see you d--d fust," said he, and then (
k he turned all sorts o' colors and he fainted.
e "The gineral and I stanched the blood both 1of them and then we carried them to the dugf out, and I paddled down the bio, making the
a nearest tracks for Columby, Arter I had left 1d Rafe at home and got a doctor for Stewart-"it "But Rafe, did he recover?"
"Recover! to be sure he did. Bullet holes jSain gwine to hurt him."
if "And Stewart, what became of him."r- "Well he stood his trial, and got off for want Itr of white evidence. There war niggers enoughn seed the thing, but they aint legal witness."d "You had better take care now that Stewart- is out again."
e "Take care what! It war a fair fight. Ie shot him twice-took him down the bio in mye dug-out-got a doctor and dressed his wounds id and put him in Columby jail myself. That's
Sall right enough. Dick loves me like abrother3-he does."

CHARACTER OF THE TURKS.-We commonlyconceive a Turk as a busy individual, surround-ed by a great number of submissive beauties,anxious for the honor of the handkerchief; butit is not remembered that there is aprodigiousnumber of bachelors in the east. In spite ofthe disgrace in which celibacy is held, a largeproportion of the men of the middle classesabstain from marriage, on account of the diffi-culties thrown in their way by manners andthe competition of the rich. I have known in-stances among the Levantines, in which ayoung shopkeeper has been compelled to spendhalf his capital to buy a dirty little wife. Thesame system of purchase prevails among theTurks, and is indeed derived from them. Ther number of unmarried persons in the Ottoman
empire is therefore very great. The Turks arenaturally a licentious race. Even the confor-mation of their heads reveals that fact. Theposterior portion is enormously developed; andthe napes of the necks are something almostt miraculous to behold-they resemble those of
bulls. They are often luxurious; and, in caseno suspicion of jealousy crosses their minds,treat their wives with considerable deference.Few will venture to appear in the presence oftheir ladies in the slightest degree intoxicated:and they will submit to be beaten on the day iof beiram, if from poverty, or other causes,1 they have been unable to bring home the roast
shoulder of mutton required by inexorable cus-t tom for the family dinner of that day. Easternladies often resort to this summary mode ofproceeding with their lords and masters, evens when not protected by the privilege of a festi-
val. It is true. that, on the other hand, they1( are exposed to similar treatment if they carry
the joke too far, or misbehave in any way; andthat the sack-of which it is now the customto make fan amongst wags who have lookedat the outside of eastern manners-is alwaysready to punish serious derilictions of duty.

A Taus GHosrT SoRY.-Most ghost storiesare only foolish and laughable, but this one is ecertainly melancholy in the extreme: '
Within the past year the people of a villagein a western state became greatly excited by dthe alleged nightly appearance of a ghost in dthe village graveyard. Few of them, indeed, ahad dared, but some had, and they, without tmaking too familiar with #, had still seen it acome and go, walk about, seat itself, &c., and h
the statements of all those were too well au- cthenticated to be disregarded. What the few csaw the many believed, and the whole comm;- Inity soon became excited upon the subject of Ithe strange nightly visitation to the graves of rthe dead. Of course the ghost was in the usual tgrave clothes, in which, so far as we know irghosts always appear, and it was entirely regu- llar in its hours-always arising among the ftombs atjustmidnight,and leaving at near earlydawn. It had often been seen to come and go, Ipassing over fences in its course, but no one had ilearned whence it came or whither it went. i
At length the matter from being the town talk vbecame the town dread. Numerous individu- Ials got excited and superstitious ones grew mel- vancholy and taciturn, people looked doubtingly Iat each other, as they passed, in twilight, and tall contrived their journeying at that hour, so I
as not to approach the lastresting place of their rdeparted friends. t
The growing dread at length became insuf- iferable,and engaged all minds. There chanced {to be in the village, a youth of nineteen, fromwestern New York, whose domestic educationhad carefully excluded all faith in supernatural Pagencies, and who, therefore, looked only to eI natural causes for explanations of the events tand occurrences of this life. This youth re- iolved to fathom the mystery of the grave-yards tI ghost. He found one associate, and the two Ir after nightfall secreted themselves among thetombs, to observe. Punctually as the hour of12 drew nigh, the ghost which had caused so j
e much dread was seen approaching. The moone wasshining brightly, and the white-robed ob- Ii ject was seen most distinctly. Overcoming twoI fences, this entered the grave-yard within actualt reach of the youth who had set on foot the in-r vestigation, and, as the light fell fully upon thea feface of the ghost, he recognized the well-knowne features of n acquaintance, who was then in
s her early wildow hood. Her husband had re-cently been buried there, and so dreadful had
s been the shbck that the reason of the wife had 3
been dethroned by it, and she was now a wan- Idering maniac. She saw not her observers,but
I seated herself as she was want, upon the graved of him she had loved but too fondly. The two
I then approached the unfortunate, and addressed 4I her in kindness. She knew them not, but con-I versed freely with them, calling them angels, 4
If and craving their protection. She was in her 4
night clothes, and her wandering thus, throughthe agony she had suffered, and her nightly oc-g cupying this sad seat, had converted that poor
it mental wretch of humanity into a ghost. Onn this occasion she could not be induced to aban-y don her post,and of necessity she was leftthereII to complete the hours of that night's pilgrim-d age. She is now in a lunatic asylum.
THE VEHMIC TRIBUNALS.-We read in Galig-e nani: Although most minute researches havea been made at different times respecting the ler-
rible Vehmic or secret tribunals, which flour-s ished in Germany in the middle ages,no recordsI of their proceedings, nor anV' of the instru-
e ments which they employed in putting to deathd the victims whom they condemned, have yet
t been discovered. This has been ascribed tothe fact that they were accustomed to hold theirsittings in caves and in the midst of forests, on
n mountains, and that they did not deem it pru-1 dent to have recourse to writing. The remainsis of one of these strange tribunals have at lengthrt however,been discovered. M. de Mayenfisch,e marshal of the court of the prince of Hohen-
zollern-Sigmaringen, fancied that he perceivedin the wall of one of the galleries of a museum
n of rare and curious arms, the trace of a secretcovered with plaster. He caused the plaster,
,h which was very thick, to be removed, and dis-.g covered a wooden door. The door was re-ie moved, and behind it was found one in iron,fas-ft tened with four enormous locks. With great
Sdifficulty the locks were opened, and a subter-ranean passage, of a rapid descent, was seen.Ms . de Mayenfisch, accompanied by the employ-es of the museum, entered with torches, andafter walking upwards of three hundred yards,
t found that the passage was entirely blocked uph with rubbish. The rubbish was removed-there
were not fewer than 68 cart loads of it. Thenrta vast saloon was open., On the walls at cer-
tain distances were wooden figures dlumsily ex-I ecuted, as the holy virgin and St. John the bap-y tist, together with a number of crucifixes. Be-s I tween these objects were instruments of torture's such as heavy chains, pinchers, poignards, ironr rings, and a sort of cap in iron with sharp points
destined apparently to be put on the head. Inthe middle of the place was a large stone slab
y or table, and around it were ten stone seats. On- the table was a hammer, five balls in black, wood, and a copper plate-at the bottom oft which were in has relief a crucifix, the holy vir-s gin and St. John the Baptist. On thetable alsoof was the iron seal of the Saint Vehme. Thise seal it was which more than anything elses proved the purpose for which the cavern had- been employed. The hammer was probably1 that with which the initiated were accustomed- to strike three times on the doors of the per-a sons whom they were charged to summon be-d fore the secret tribunal, the plate and the ballsa were probably employed in voting-four votese being sufficient to cause a condemnation toe death-the only punishment the Saint Vehmen I was accustomed to inflict. It is on record thate in the principality of Sigmaringmen the last- Vehmic court was held in 1417, underthe presi-e dency of duke Ulric of Wurtemburg. Somed time after, when the two counts of Zollern,whot had been cited before asecrettribunal, possess-of ed themselves of the country, they abolished
e the secret jurisdiction, and caused the place in, which it had been accustomed to hold its sit i
. tings to be fastened up, It is very likely thatf 1 this place is that which has just been discov-: ered.
The Washington correspondent of the NewYork Courier; speculates as follows:
"The south has been startled by Mr. Douglas' recent defence of the Nebraska bill at Chi-cago. He endeavored to reconcile the peopleof Illinois by assuring them that it repealedthe constructive recognition of slavery southof the line of 36 deg. 30 min. In other words,Mr. Douglas advocated the Nebraska bill onpurely abolition grounds. He was opposed tothe recognition of slavery any where. His au-dience jeered the declaration because they didnot believe in his sincerity, but he, of coursecannot avail himself of that plea. Gen. Casshas been far more conservative and consistent.He has merely urged that the effect of the billis to authorize the people of the territories or-ganized by the bill to admit or exclude slavery.Yet he has been unceremoniously expelled theparty by the Richmond Enquirer, and turnedover to the abolitionists. Iprediot thb.t furthersouth, Mr. Douglas will be regarded as theless reliable man. of the t..o, .withstrger

ART SCIENCE AND MxECHANmc.--Amorgst themore recent inventions patented by manufac-turers is that of Mr. Summerfield, at the glassworks, Birmingham-heath, for what are termedchromatic glass or glass-faced grooved bricks,By Mr. Summerfield's process red or other claycan be combined with glass, and this will se-cure durability, entire resistance tormoisture,andgive an ornamental appearance to the building.The form of the brick is also, by means of agroove at the side and end, made so as to addgreatly to the strength of the erection, the jointsby this means being brought close together,andthe mortar acts as a dowell from the shape ofthe groove.
The progress in the mknufacture of paliermacho since its introduction into this countryhas been most remarkable. A company wasstarted in this line in Boston, two years ago,when the art was in its infancy, and now theyare doing an immense business and sendingarticles from their extensive establishments allover the Union. They now have twolarge fac-tories in Roxbury in constant operation, andanother new factory of great size is soon to beerected.
The paocess of rendering wood incombusti-ble may be effectually performed by soaking itin a strong solution of alum and the sulphate ofcopper, about one pound of alum and one ofthe suphate of copper being sufficient for onehundred gallons of water. These substancesare dissolved in a quantity of hot water, thenmixed with the water in the vessel in which thewood is to be steeped. The timber to be ren-dered fire-proof can be kept uinder the liquor bystones or any other mode of sinking it. All thatis required is an air-tight vessel of sufficientdimensions to hold enough of liquor to coverthe timber, which should be allowed to steep forfour or five days. After thisit is taken out andsuffered to dry thoroughly before being used.
The plan of building houses with gravel con-crete-a mixture of lime, stone and gravel-isexciting considerable attention, under the pres-ent high prices of lumber and brick. Itis com-paratively a new thing, although in Ohio andother western states it has been practised forfifteen and twenty years. The only questionabout it is that of cheapriess, for of its durabilitythere can be no doubt. The building now inprogress of construction on this plan in WalthamMassachusetts, by the Boston match company,is said to have thus far saved the entire cost ofbrick.
WAKING UP THE WRONG PAsSEsGER.-It ap-pears that the person arrested in Switzerlandwas not Mazzini, but an American named Phil,lips. The correspondent of the New York Tri-bune gives the following account of the matter:
I heard a diplomatist last evening suggestthe propriety of requesting from the emperorof the French permission to march a body ofAmerican troops through his dominions, ontheir way to Switzerland, for the purpose ofavenging the insult to the American eagle, inthe person of Messrs. Phillips and Eichelberger,by the Swiss police, at Austrian suggestion.Mr. Phillips's calm, straightforward narrativeof his imprisonment and gross ill-treatment atBale was handed to me this morning. Thefol-lowing are the chief points-of interest. He ar-at Bale, August 30, with an American passportperfectlyin order.
