It seems that some months ao, one : Hardin Ful cher, a widower with a promising little daughter some in ree years oi age, reroarnea. xne step mother tjoon1 conceived a violent dislike to the child, anjd frequently threatened to kill it unless its father sent it i away. On the 26th ulk, 1 ul cher, who was employed at Penn's Store, return ed home at nighi and found his little one lying, helpless upon the bed, with her head and body covered with bruises. Ilorrified, he hastened for medical assistance, but, upon his return with a physician, the child was dead. The physician insisted upon loosing at tne ooay, ana saw at , .1 .... -t once irora tne cnaracter or tne injuries, mat tne poor little victim bad been beaten ; to death. hue pursuing; his inquiries, the guilty step mother sat silent and trembling I in the ! room, while the father seemed almost beside himself with crief and apprehension. The next dav the coroner was notified of the affair, and on the third day after its occurrence, a jury was etn panneled, the body disinterred and & post mor tem performed by Drs. Lemly and Dillard. It wis very plain that the child had been foully dealt with, and the evidence elicited fastened the I crime bu j the step-mother. Ai verdict to! that effect was rendered J whereunon Mrs. Fulcher was! arrested and imprisoned in the county jail on the, charge of murder. - Salem JL jrtss. ! ' I - V ! i - The Hon.

He says: 'The vehic les used for the journey are carts, one to each' man; and each cart drawn by two mules. The hubs of the carts, although designed to carry but one man and the driver, are as large as those of our strongest; drays in the United States, and the wheels as strong and full! of civets as the wheels in Ezekiel's vision were of eyes. Through these ponderous hubs the axles project for a, dis tance ot t seven j inches, being three inches; in diameter i where ! they come through. What good, this projection of-the axle does, except io mt against everytning in tne way, Deiongs to Chinese civilization to-tleterminei On to these axles, whicirjare very heavy and strong, are at tached heavy Yrames, made of two scantlings running from the joules' heads ' across the axle, to which the 'frame ismade fast bj strong bands andbolts of iron ; There is nothing in the shape of a spring, or thorough-brace.

Scenes on the Battle-FieM Evidence of a Ter rible Struggle Over a Hundred Thousand Men Engaged. 1 , The special correspondent of one of the New York papers writes, on the 11th from the head quarter of the Crown Prince an account of the battle of Woerth. .. , . i M The swift arid skillful movement against Weis- 8enburg, resulting in complete success to the uerman arms, was but a Joretaste of the storm which threatened the northern part of Alsace On the second day after that of j Weissenburg came the battle pf Woerth, and the Crown Priuce gained a victory over the ablest general in France It is admitted that th French fought with reck less courage, and that they inflicted a heavy loss on ineir opponents; put tue lact ot tnis hard fighting and bf this heavy loss shows how serious a deieat was sustained; by McMahon. Battle-fiehlSce7ies.-rl traversed the field while the dead still lay unburied on the trampled ground? and could form a good notion of how the fight had ! gone! by the) ghastly evidence which remained.! Woerth is- at the bottom of a fertile valley, between; two ridges'of cultivated erround. There is much of wooded land in the neighbor hood: and especially behind the French posi tion or on! the - jwestern side of the valley, there lsastrip or rorest whicli tonus a cover for re treating troops. . ' j'-- j ; . i-. , I lhe ;i4tle river Brnder, not big enough in summer tiiiieto float a . skiff flows Jth rough the village, and avhigh road comes windipg down toward the villagevon! tho .eastern side of the valley, flanked by trees! I Here was the Prussian position'. ! Stretching jurJto the right and left along this road jwere neaps btspiked hemles to oe seen ana cart-ioaas or jneeae-guns were col lected under the trees. I At a distance the French musketry fire had told more heavilyXthan the German, and I heard that the French artillery naa oecn very wen servea, f Piles of the Dead. JJut though the buryin; parties were busy with the German dead on the eastern side of Voerth'p there was more thau an exchange of slaughterous work on the western side. K Here the Prussians1 and Bavarians had i w ' . j rt pushed forward in strong1 force,! arid their fire had told fearful y upon the French. The high spirit and rigid disciplirie' of the one army had been more thanj a match' for the desperate resis tance of the other. Whole companies of Frencl: men had been mowed down in their wild attempts to check the eneiny's advance. j: It! had been a tolerably equal j fight in J some places, for the ground was strewed with ! German dead; but more and more Frcnchhien! had fallen in propor tion." Black Turcos and wide-trbwsered Zouaves lay thick at many poinis. and the cuiraissiers had suffered uiuch. There were steel breast plates and brass helmets scattered thickly on the hue pr retreat, while the jdead horses mall uireo tioris miiht 'be qounted; by hundreds. And so westward through the wood went the traces of increasing disaster; officers and men lying grimly where they! had fallen. Some in quiet, snaay spots, as; tnougn upon a picnic, seemed asjeep. i j Pools of blood remained where the wounded had been! found. There were . i ' I . t 1 knapsacks, rifles and overcoats, either thrown away in flight or left by the r wounded on the field. Then'I ipamo upon a spot where the French had rallied, an'd he dead of both sides lay thick. ! Turdos were there'who had evidently fought to the last, 2nd had ; tried to fire their pieces as they lay.'1 Frenchmen of the line regi ments had here and there fallen in numbers, as though they had halted and faced about in regu lar order. I 'But the aspect of the fields beyond the wood seemed to indicate a hasty retread. Wasrons were overturned,! baggage was thrown out upon the roadside; many knapsacks were to be seen. No one who had 'passed jover that battle-ground of; Woerth when I did, could have failed to realize that a great disaster' had 'j befallen the French arms, though my observations were .made. when most of i the woundedthad been removed Jte Ijosx on boln xufes.' Jn so large a scene of action it would have been impossible to judge of the exact loss sustained. I sec no reason, however, to doubit the official return-on the Ger- man side; which gives about 10,000 Frenchmen and 7,000 Germans h'ora, du combat, andnbout 7,000 prisoners tiken by the victors 4,000 in the battle and 1?,000 in the pursuit. These losses, with, the further loss of cannon and colors, made the battle of Woerth an evil day for France. Well might the wounded!

X- NINETEENTI1 f OLUUE N U EI B E U 0:7, We drove past ithera very slowly, for the road was blocked with ammunition wagona, and I noticed that the seemed wofully discouraged. There were no songs and no laughter to b heard among them, and the few that were occupying themselves in picking fruit in trees that they had climbed, had not a very livelyair for French men in such a position aa fruit picking. Then came the convoys of wounded men moving to the rear. Suffering had made them broth en in misfortune. The Germani and Frenchmen mingled, sat or j lay quietly aide by aide, aa if they were old comrades j the only enemy and .the common enemy being the joltipg wagon. , Ab we neared Woerth there waa a constant stream of wagons, bringing down wounded men, Prussians and Bavarians, Turcos and French men of the line. They bore the misery of the road in equal silence. It was rare to hear a cry, though the poor fellows' faces showed much pain. They were a sadder sight in their blood stained bandages than the men who lay grimly on the hillside. ' ! . Woerth itself was a mere hospital, and all the inhabitants wero either nursing the wounded or burying the dead. It waa an evil fate for the picturesque little place, that more than 100,000 men on one and the other side should have sot- tied their quarrel so near at hand. ,v' " ; . 1 Th Prussian Soldiers. Berlin Correspondence London 8tandard j It is impossiblC to conceive finer bodies of men than those which daily arrive in Prussia to join their regiments. I lhey belong to the first re serve, aud all between the age of 23 and 23. A very large number of them wear the decoration they wore in the Austrian war. and all are train ed soldiers. As the trains arrive they are met by a small , party of soldiers, and the men aro escorted to the barracks of the corps to which they belong. Here they are furnished with their uniforms, kts and arms, and are ready in half an hour to take their place in the ranks. Nothing can exceed the order and regularity withwhich everything proceeds. To the great credit of the Prussian soldier. I can state that since my arrival in the country I have not seen a single man in uniform the worse for liqnor. Ulory indirectly makes a man more IhirEty than does patriotism. It is at a crisis like the 'pre sent that the full value of the Prussian military system is evident. 'The whole of the regiments belong to various localities, from which they aro exclusively raised. Each regiment of the line has a regiment of reserve composed exclusively of the men who nave served their time in that regiment.- Consequently when the reserve is, as at present, called in, every man finds himself among friends. By his side is his younger brother, around him are neighbors. lie is at home at once, and has besides every incentive to distinguish himself in action, for he knows that his neighbors are looking on, and that every deed of daring will be noted and told at home. It would bo difficult to imagine any system so calculated to make heroes. In regiments raised like those of England, the local connection exists only; in name, und a soldier Can scarcely hope that his deed of bravery in the field will become the common talk of his neighbprs and towns people, and that the girl he loves will look with pride upon him as tho acknowledged hero of the, locality. Of course, under our present, volun tary system this could not.be carried out iu England, but when the time comes that our long-talked of reserve is to become a reality, it is to be hoped that this important feature of tho. Prussian system will not be lost sight of. A DaovER Fattening Cattlk. Mr Bela S.'IIastings, who is one of the leading dro vers from Vermont, in supplying cattle fur tho. Boston market, gave his experience and observa tion in relation to fattening stock, at a late meet ing of the Caledonia county farmers' club. lie said the main object of the farmer was to get , the most out of his fodder. It does not pay to feed grain to a poor creature, one that docs not take on flesh rapidly. Farmers' will ,do better to dispose oT such stock fpr what it will bring, and procure animals of good style. lie believed that one-half of the grain fed was wasted by not being fed to good cattle. - Another important point is, farmers do not feed heavy enough. Ha would commence with as much feed as they could bear at first, and then 'increase.'1 In feed ing 22 quarts of meal, the last four quarts aro worth twice as much ns the first four for fatten ing purposes, some farmers complain tnattney do not get pay for the gram they Teed out, bu$ he had noticed that it was oiriy those that feed light that thus complain. Whether the animal was to be fed a long or a short time, he would recommend heavy feeding. Mr. Hastings said he knew nothing better than corn meal. The. cob is. not worth much, if anything. Those; persons of whom he purchased fat stock, who. were the most successful, and made it most pro fitable, were those who fed meal largely, If a farmer has potatoes or other roots, it is well enough to feed those in part, but a fanner will do better to exchange some of his roots for corn than to feed roots altogether. It is important to feed regularly and not too often, as the stock will lie down and ruminate. It is better to. fee4 cattle but three times, a day, and sheep but once. p . Kentucky. The Louisville Journal sums. up the victory as follows : The -Democratic, majority in Kentucky will exceed fifty thousand. The Radicals have not carried a single county in the State. With all their efforts with the aid of the independents with the seqnisition of the. nerro votewith perfect organization arrayed against a party whose strength has made it weak at least in discipline -they have been able to achieve nothing. They had the eager, undeveW oped assurance of a new hope to inspire them. They bad a body of census takers in every neigh borhood U instruct them, t 'Xhej encountered an undrilled antagonist. The result is an over whelming victory for the "Democratic party. The Radicals will ncvpr have a better chance. They hive shown themselves strong enough to consolidate.tbe Democratic elements and to en force strict Democratic discipline.''
