THE IiAUGIIIIYG HERO.

AN INCIDENT 01y THE MASSACRE AT GOLIAD. It was the morning of the 7th of March, 1836. Aurora, mother of the dews and mistress of the gclden clouds, came, as she almost ever comes to the living scenery of the plains of Goliad a thing of beauty, queen of the sky, on a throne of burning amber, robed in the crimson fire, with a diadem of puiple, and streams of painted pfnk. Oh! it was a glorious dawn for a poet to sing of earth, or the saint to pray to heaven; but the poet's song nor the saint's prayer matins cf the place an hour. Alas! no; it was a very different sort of music. A hundred hoarse drums sounded the loud reveille that awoke four hundred Texan prisoners and their guard four times their number of Mexicans soldiers the elite ot the Chief Butcher's army. The prisoners are immediately summon ed to parade before the post in tho mam street of the village, and every eye cparkled with joy, and every tongue uttered an exclamation of confidence and hope. Thanks to Santa Anna! He is going to execute a treaty! We shall be shipped back to the United States! We shall see our friends once more!' Such were the feeling of the American volunteeis and the few Texans among them, greeted the order to' form a line. The line was formed and then broken into two columns, when every instruments of music iu tho Mexican host sounded a rLcrry march and they moved away with quick step over the prairie towards the west. Five minutes afterwards, a singularjdiaogue occurred between the two leaders of the front columns of prisoners: What makes you walk so lame, Colonel Neil? Are you wounded?" asked a tall handsome man, with blue eyes.and bravely flashing forth in all their beams. "Col. Fannin, I walk lame to jceek from being wounded; do you comprehend?" re plied the other with a laugh, and such a laugh us no words might describe it was so loud, like the roar of the breakers of a sea of humor, it was, in short, a laugh of the most inmost heart. "I do not comprehend you, for I am no artist ia riddles," rej ined Fannin, smiling himself at the ludicrous gayety of his companion, so strangely ill-timed. You discover that I am lame in both legs,' said Col. Neil, glancing dewn to the members indicated, and rnimieing tho movements of a confiim-cripple, as he laughed louder than ever. And yet he added in a whisper, I hare neither rheumatism in my knee, nor corns oi my toes, but I have a big revolver in my boots!' That 13 a violation of the treaty by which we agreed to dliver up our arms Col. Fannin mournfully suggested. You shall 6ee, however, that I shall need them before the sun is an hour high replied Neil. 'Ah! Fannin, you do not know the treachery of theso base Mexi cans At the instant the sun rose in a sky of extraordinary brilliancy.and a million flowcrcups flung Iheir rich odors abroad over the green prairie, as an offering to the lord of light, when the mandate to 'halt' was given by oneof the Santa Anna's aids, and the two columns of prisoners were broken up and scattered over the plain, in small hollow squares, encircled on every side by Mexican infantry and troops of horso with loaded muskets and drawn swords.. And then came a momentary pause, awful in its stillness, and disturbed by an occasional shrink of terror, as the most timid of the captives realized the impending storm of Sre and extinction of life's last hope. And then the infernal work of slaughter begun, such a3 scarcely might be matched in the annals of hell itself. The roar of musketry burst in successive peals like appaling claps of thunder, but could not utterly drown the prayer of the living, the scream of the wounded, and mora terrible groans of the dying! Col. Fannin fell among tho first victims, but not so with the giant Neil. With the order of the Mexican officer to his men to fire, our hero Btooped almost to tho earth, so that tho rolley passed entirely over him. He waitevj not lOt for a second; thrustirfga , r , , . , T. leg ofeaeh. boot, he arose with ! A COUplö of sil-sllOOteia, the deadly TOVOlvers, and commenced discharging yil the qnick rapidity of lightning into the thickest ranks of hi3 foes. Panic-stricken with surprise and fear, the Mexicans recoiled and opened a passage, through which Neil baunded with the spring of a panther and fled away as if wins were tied to his heels, while half a dozen horsemen gave chaseJFor a while it seemed doubtful whether the giant Colonel would not distance even these, so much had theperils of the occasion increased the natural elasticity of his mighty muscles. Put presnlly a charger fleeterthan the rest njHit be seen gaming npm his human n

Yal, and approaching so near that the dra

goon raised his saber for a coup de grace. Neil became conscious of hi3 danger; he hastly slackened 'his speed. A stream of smoke from his horse's nostrils appeared to mingle with his hair; and wheeling suddenly around, he fired another round from the revolver, and the rider tumbled from his horse. The victim then renewed his flight. A mad yell of grief and rago burst from the remining troopers as they witnessed the fate of their comrade, and its effect was immediately evident ia tho augmented caution of their pursuit for they galloped aftarwardsin one body, thereby greatly retarding their'progress, so that Neal reached the river before them. He paused not a raomeut but plunged headlong down the steep bank into the current, and struck for the other shore. The dragoons discharged then side arms ineffectually, and gave over tho chase. In a few minutes Neil landed, and as soon as he felt satsified that he was really saved, ho burst into an insuppressible con vulsion of laughter: exclaiming. 'It will kill me! just to see how astonished the yellow devils looked when I hauled the revolvers out of my bsjots!' Such was John Neil posessing a fund fo humor that misfortune could ever ex haust, and a flow of animal spirit that would have enabled him to dance on the graves cf his dearest friends, or to have sung Yankee Doodle at his own execuion! Rev. Peter Cartwriglit at the Astor House. Some church business made it necessary for Mr. Cartwright to visit New York city some years ago, and it was arranged for him that he should put up at the Astor IIous. It was here that his brethren expected to meet him; hi3 social and denominational appointments had reference to the Astor House a3 his headquarters. When Mr. Cartwright, however, appeared at the Astor, there was nothing in his backwoods appearance that suggested to its propritors his worthy position among the fathers of .Methoiism; when, therefore, he requested to be fhown to his room, ha was very cavalierly turned over to a servant to show him up stairs. Upstairs they went up, up, up, Mr. Cartwright in wondering amazement lost tin servant apparently untiring in his amusement of ascending. Finally, tho servant opened tho door of an apartment up ia tho attic story, and pointed it out to Mr. C. as his room. Father Peter detained the servant while he should take p. general survey of the premises repeatedly inquiring if this wa3 the room he was to occupv and at length, apnearing to be well satisfied, he disposed of his baggage, and very politely requested the servant to show him down stairs aga'n. The servant preceded Father Cartwright down, down, till they reached, at length, the street landing; but before the servant could make his escape, Pater inquired of him if he wouldn't show him up stairs! So up they went agtin, heavenward, and at) last Pet2r nund his room, and permuted the servant to depart in peace. The servant, however, had little more than found himself down stairs, when Under Pete rang the bell most vigoronsly. In dustime, up came the servant, by tliis time panting with exertion. My good friend, I am sorry to trouble you, but I should be glad to see the clerk if you will be kind enough to show him to my room.' 'Oh, certainly And so down, down g033 thö sarvant, to say to the clerk that a singular old chap in tho upper story wanted him to his room. And 'hen up goes the Clerk. ,Are you the clerk?' Yes sir Well, you will placo ma in great obligations to you, if you will show me ths way down stairs?' And when once more down stair3 af;er Uncle Pete had taken another survey of the surroundings, the clerk very politely inquired if there was anything further ho could do for him? Y s, 6ay8 Uncle Peter, 'yes my friend, I would be greatly obliged to to you for a broad-axe?' 'Ab road-axe! siy3 the Clerk, in astonishment, 'and what doyouproposo to do with a broad-axe?' I thought I should like to Haze my iczy lo my room! It isneedless to say that Peter Cartwright was the lion of the week at the Astor; and that it was not further required of him to climb up that endles3 series starways-but, when his friends called up on him, they found him snugly enscousod in one of the most eligible rooms in the house.

To prepare it, take Glue of the best quality, and dissolve it in as small a quality of water aspossible; then, while yet hot, remove it from the fire, and dilute it to the proper degree of thinness by adding alcohol, after which it should be bottled and tho mouth kept covered by a piece of India rubber. Alcohol will preserve glue made in this way for many years, keeping it from putrefaction in Summer and from freeziocr in Winter. In cold weather it needs only a little warming to make it ready for use. This cnvienant -article has been in use in England for many years, but never ha3 been extensively used in this

Anecdote of Hamilton. A correspondent of the New York Eve

ning Post gives the following anecdote of Alexander Hamilton. It is taken from a collection of English newspaper cuttings, now in possession of the New York His torical Society: General Hamilton, the American, when a youth of seventeen, was chief clerk to an eminent merchant in St. Eustatia, who being absent, the business of the count-ing-housa of course devolved on young Hamilton. He had presented to him a litter, directed to his master, which, supposing it related to mercantile concerns, he opened; but hi3 surprise was great when ho found that it contained a challenge to his master, - whose prosy ho was. The young hero answered the challenge in the name of his master, and the time and place were mentioned in his reply. Hamilton appeared to the antagonist of Lis master on the field, and, to use his own words, "did his busine-s in his absence' and would not agree to any compromise, except on the express condition that tho challenger should acknowledge in writing tt.at lie naa received suitable satisfaction from Mr. , that ho was a gentleman of nonor, ore; and further, that he (Hamilton) should never be known at the business which term3 the challenger was obliged to accede to, or fight theyomg Hamilton; he chose the former and the parties separated. In a few moments however, it came to his master's ears, who was so struck with the magnanimity of such conduct, that he crave him the lib-rty to go to the continent, to choose what Drofes3ion he pleased, and draw on him to any amount. Perhaps to this anecdote America u indebted for the service and abilities of a man who was not his superior a3 a soldier, a financier and a statesman. F. M. Historical Lilrary. J uns 25.

We had yjsterday the particulars of a revolting transaction just come to light in Gieennvillo. Harlan Hyde lost his wife one year ago. Sha was his third wife, and had been married only one year when she died.and was buried in the Greenville Cemetery. About one week ago Hyde went to the cemetery, and opened the grave, broka open the coffin and rilled it of-what does the reader suppose? Of a eet of false teeth, that he might coin the gold plate, upon which the teeth were set, into money to put in his pocket. We wonder not at the indignation which blazes aaist the miserable creature in Greeneville, or that the women of the village can scarcely be restained from treating him to a coat of tar and feathers. Hyde U not fir from fifty jear3 of age, a house carpenter by trade, and, we shame to add, is a member of a Christain church. It is now currently reported and believed in Greeneville, that when his wife died, and while she lay dead in her shroud in the house, her affectionate husband attempted to remove the coveted teeth from her mouth, but the rigid muscles would not relax, and he wa3, compslljd to suspend opperations for a time. The parpose WA3 merely postponed"' not relanqishcd; and, after booding over the idea for 12 month's, he has finally put it in to execution. Hyde not only confesses to have done thi3 horrible thing, but is even b-a-zon enough to justifiy it. YonrtcA Courier May 25. Timely Preparations. It is rumored says the Ohio Statesman, 'that ßteamers fram England now due, brought ispatches from the British Minister, touching the outrages in the - . . . i - :n vtuit. ine American pcupm wm aan, their publication with earnest solicitude. The rumor states that they are of a pacific character. It is hardly probabb that the British Government would daro to avow, in the face of the world, the mad acta of their naval officers, or that she will fail to make ample reparation for damage done, and apologise for her - insults to American Sovereiif ntv. The Administra tion has wisely cherished confidence in the result, and firmly relied on tho ßimplo justice of the .case. As we have before stated, the whole country reposes perfect trust in the disposition of the Presidenj and his Cabinet to vindicate our national rights, and is willing to wait a reasonable lime for tho explanation of the British Government, already demanded. No one fears that our Government will be plunged heedlessly into a war, yet the conviction 13 universal that if wo must appeal to tl last resort of n-tions, America's honor i in 6afe hands:'

Only five cent3 a glass and water thrown in 'Any taste for music?' Strong. Buz and buck-saws in the day time, and wolf howling and cat-fighting nights.' 'Any piano's there?' 'No, but we have several cow bells, and a tin pan in every family.' What could a genteel family in moderate circumstances, do for a living?' Work, shave notes, fish.hunt, steal, or if hard pinched, buy and S3ll town property. Xebraika Post. Lawful Kcvenge. Many years sinc3, r. gentleman in Newingtou, near Wethcrsfield, Connecticut, who was a very religious and consientiaus man, married one of the most ill-natured anl troubksom) women who could bo found in the vicinity. This occasioned a univeral surprise wherever he was kajwn, and one of his neighbors ventured to ask him the reason which had governed his choice. Hü replied, that having had but litle trouble ia the world, he was fearful of becoming too much attached to things of time, and thought that by experiencing soino afHictions, he should become more weaned from the world; and that ho marriod such a woman as. he thought, would accomplish this object. The best part of the story i, that the wife hearing the reason why he married her was much offended, and, out of revenge-, became one of the most dutiful wives in the town; declaring that "she was not going to be made a pack-horse lo carry her husband to heaven!" tc 3Iot!icr and f?i?ht Children Killed! The Chicago Press gives farther parti culars in relation lo the late distressing calamity, at Itoscoa.HI. A special telegraphic dispatch informs us that about dawn yesterday morning, a freshet came rushing with great violence down a ravine, which, in ordinary seasons, is an insignificant brook, a tribute to the rllock Kiver. Upon the bank stood the two-story frame dwelling house occupied by a much esfeemed clergymen, Rev. Horatio Ilsley. From eom cause, either by the underraining of tho bank, or the dwelling-house being reached by the angry flood, it was overturned and carried away. Its inmates. tho clergyman, his wife and their eight children were in their bed3 when they were swept into the 'raging torrent. The father alone managed, almost miraculously, to effect hü escape, and reached the bank nearly exhausted; the mother and her children were seen no more alive. j The most profound e:;säilon at once pOrvadei the jentire community. The most active measures vero at onco taken to recover tho bodies, and up to 10 o'clock A. M.t four had been taken out. Their children were of various ages, I ranging from infancy to seventeen years of age. The family was one much beloved in that community, and the sad fate which has swept them thus in'.o eternity, will causo many tears.'' t M A ITIaiiiiiiotli Farm. We see it stated that some men of capital in New York, Buffalo and Chicago, have it in contemplation to establish in the West, a mammoth farm of from 100,000 to 200,000 acres. Their object is to do for agriculture, by the use of combined wealth and the power of machinery, what has been done in the last century by the railroad and factory for the old stago coach and 'spinning wheel. The basis of the project is thus slated: They will organize th3 vast tract into two rival establishments, with a military orga nization of labor, gigantic machinery to plow, plant, reap and render harvest, vast herds of horses, sheep and cattle of the most select stock, and the cultivation of fruits and grain upon a grand scale. The organization will justly combine the intorest of capital and labor, and by its colossal economies and its scientific appliance?, creative industrial power and its just system of distribution, it will attempt to give the- world tho example of a true Republic, an industrial Commonwealth, where poverty, duplicity, robbery and crime nrc unknown.

A Mother's Lore. W e are" indebted to Lamartine's exquisitely fine pen for the following touching and graphic illustration of a mother's 'ove. In eome spring freshetr a river widoly

washed Us shores and rent away a bough whereon a bird had built a cottage for her summer's hopes. Down the white and whirling stream drifted the green brauch, with its wicker cup of unfledged song; and fluttering beside it it went, the mother bird Unheeding the roaring river, on she kept, her cries of agony and fear piercing the pauses of the storm. How like the love of the old fashioned mother who followed the child plucked from her heart, all over the world. Swept away by passion, that might be, it mattered not; bearing away with him the frag ments of the roof-tree though lie did, vet .1- il 1 1 T- . . inatmouier was wun mm a itutn tnroun all his life, and a ltachael at death.' Horse Taming. The Buffalo Commer cial claims to ba cognizant of the secret which Mr. Rarey possesses and employs to tame horses, and asserts that it consists 'in raising one of the fore feet of the horse, doubling the knee, keeping a strap wound around tho fetlock, fastening tho foot close to the arm or shoulder. The horse then stands upon throe legs. Having next put on a surcingle, pass a long strap or rein through the surcingle and fastening one end of it around the fetlock of the other forefoot; attach the other to ;he sircingle of the animal is thrown, so closely as to deprive it of the use of its limb. In this item the treatment may be varied bv fastening the second fetlock to the arm o'r shoulder after the animal is down.' This plan, says the Commercial, is successfully pursued by many skillful horse-breaker in Weston N. Y., and the horse yields to the necessities of the case, his spirit of opposition being broken. i?5T"A fevf days since, a pious old lady preparing to go to chnrch, was seen to take a considerable gold from her trunk, wrap it up carefully and put it in her pocket. She remarked that it was her habit, tha it kept her mind steady at her devotion, fr where the treasure is, there will be the heart also. The Democratic Tarty Its Prospects. The action of the Conference Commi ttcc or. the Kansas question, and the result of that action, have paved the way for a restoration of fraternal feel ing between the tn-o sections of tho Democratic party. It m y be safely assumed that tl:c meia'jers of Congress who voted for that Compromise, intend, in the future, to act with the Administration; and we do not think it at all improbable that several of the Democratic members who opposed the bill on its final fcssige, may Lcrcafte rrcfor to act with their former joliticiil associates rather thau enter into permanent relations with the opposition. Indeed we have never been fully convinced that Senator Douglas himself, whose course wc have been utterly unable to ajprovf , designed to cut loose from the political associations which he Ins so long acknowledged, and form a coalition with the Republican party. If the bitterness of the contest between that gentleman and the frienJs of the Administration h3 at times seemed to render such a result almost inevitable, the good sense, the long political services, and the distinguisled ability that he has evinced in his public act?, all led to the hope that such a consummation wonld be avoided. It would be a source of regret that a man who I.as through the severe struggles of the last frwr yerrs, received at the hanJs of the Republican, such unqualified ahusc and denunciat ioa, should under :;ny circumstances become identified politically with his traducers, and the object of their praise, as he has heretofore been of their most violent censure and reproach. It ia, perhaps, too early to form any intelligent judgment with respect to the effect of the late rupture ia likely to have upon the future action and composition of the Democratic party. So much depends upon the temper and course of the parties alienated, that it is only after knowing the line of policy which they shall determine to pursue, that we can judge with any degree of accuracy, of the probable results upon the party Should the President and his adviiers decide upon a proscriptive policy, end treat with harshness and severity all who have differed from them on the Kansas question, it can hardly fail to widen the breach already existing, and lead to a permanent separation. On the contrary, should a pacific policy be decided upon, and a spirit of moderation and kindness be manifested, would not be difficult for the Democrats who have opposed the Lecomptoa measure to cooperate in the future, with the measures and action of the Administration. The English coinproiniso has unquestionably been productive of great good, in removing the obstacles to future harmory, which existed in the early part of the region of Congress. Sevcud, who had opposed the administration policy, supported the compromise, and they are sustained in their course by nearly all the leading auti-Le-ccmpton Democratic papers of influence and standing, and wc doubt not hy an equally respectable portion of the Democrats, who sympathised with their course. Thus there is a practical re-union; and it can hardly be supposed that Senator Douglas and his friend?, who opposed the measure throughout, agreeing as they do with th Democracy on the leading principles which govern the action of the party, now that the only real question of difference is disposed of, are going, from choice, io cast their fortunes with their former enemies, rather than co-operate with those who have been their political friends. In discusiri2 thi topic, we have no wish to repre sent the views and opinions of any of the- panics to the controversy, but pimply to look at it in the light of,commou sense, and thus present the probabilities of the caie. The Trident may .discard all who have differed from him on this Kansas ques tion, and bestow all his favors upon those who have sustained and upheld his course. However such a policy may be dictated by political feeling, it is not one which has heretofore characterized his official action, and we see no reason to believe there will be any violent change in his future course. The tone and bearing of Senator Douglas, since the Kansas question was disposed of, do not indicate a disposition to provoke a renewal ol hostilities, or to prolong, unnecessarily, the unpler.ant controvert which has exieted between the Admiuistra-

tion and himself. A few weeks will determine more full y the course of events. In the meantime the Republican must endure the suspense and doubt in which this question, to some extent, involves their future prospects. We would most affectionately advise them to make the best bargain they can with the American?, who are for a market beyond all doubt, and to place put little reliance on their ability to win Judge Douglas to their standard. We do not believe they will get him; and if they could, he would force them, in a twelve month, to retract half their heresies, and train under his banner. X. Y. Journal Commerce.
