From Mrs. Ellct's Women of the Revolution, , BABY slocusb; ,".,' An tncedoU, coiuiriunieaLed of Mrs. Slocunib, is atrikinrly illustrativa of her resolution and strength it' will. Tht occurrcnco took place at a time then tho whole eountry wat roused, by tba march of the Uiitiih and loyalists from tho Capo R'ar couutry, to join the royal standard at Wiluiipton. The veteran Donald McDonald issued liis proclamation iit Cioss Crock, in Febru ary, 1T78, and harin assembled his Highland ers, mkrehed across rivers and through forests, iu haste to join G overnor Martin and Sir Henry Clinton, wbo were already at Capo Fear. But while he bad eluded the pursuit of Moore, the patriois of Newborn and Wilmington districts were lot idle. ... It was a lime of noble enterprise, and gJu:iouly did leaden and people coino for ward to meet the emergency. The gallant Rich ard Caswell called his neighbors hastily together; and they came at his cull as readily as the clans of the Scotch mountains mustered at the sicnul ot tliti burnmij cross. Iba wuole couutry rose in miss: scarce a man able to w.ilk was left in the Neuse region. The united regiments of Colainls Lillington and Caswell encountered Mc- Domild at Moore s creek, where, on the twenty-. seventh, was fought one of the bloodiest battles of tltc Revolution. Col. Sluuuuib'a recollections j of tills bravely contested field were too vivid to I be dimmed "by tho lapse of years. He was ac- I customed to dwell Uut lightly on the gallant. part borne by uituselt in that memorable ac tion, but he gave abundant praise to his ossoci utct; and well did they deserve the tribute. ' And," ho would say, " my wife-was- there I" She was indeed; but the story was best told in her own words : , ' - "The men left on Sunday morning;. More than eighty went from this house with my hus band; 1 looked at them well, and I could see that every madTiad mischief in hiim I know a coward as soon as I set my eyes upon him. The Tories more than once tried to frighten me, but they always showed coward at the bare insinua tion that ourTroops were about. " Well, they got off in highsptrits; every man stepping high and light. And I slept soundly aud (juietty thttt night, and worked bard all the next day; but I kept thinking where they had got to how far where and how many of the regulars they would meet and I could not keep myself from the study. ( went to bed at the usual time, but still continued to study. As I lay, whether waking or sleeping I. know not, I had a dream ; yet it was not all a dream. (She used the words, unconsciously, of the poet who was net theu in being'.). I saw distinctly a body wrapt iu my husband's guard-cloak, bloody, dead; and other? dead and wounded on the ground about him. " I saw.them plainly and distinctly. I ut tered a cry, and sprairg tonry foet on the floor; and so strong was the impression on tny mind, that I rushed in the direction the vision appeared, and came up against thesideof the house.- Tbe fire in the room gave littlo light, and I gazed in every direction to catch another glimpse of the scene. I raised the light ; everything was still and quiet. My child was sleeping, but my wo man was awakened by Biycryiug-out or jumping on the floor: If I ever folt fear, It was at that moment." S?afed on- tho bed, I reflocted a few moments, and said aloud : ' I must go to him.' I told the woman 1 could not sloop, and would rido down the road. She appeared in groat alarm ; but I merely told her to lock the door after mc, and look after the child. I went to the stable, saddled my . mare as fleet and as easy a nag as ever traveled and in one minute we were tearing down tho road at full speed. The cool night seemed after a mile or two's gal Lp "to bring reflection with I17 &iiT I asked my self where I was going, and for what purpose. Again and again I was tempted to turn back : but I was some tenmtles from home, and m minj became stronger every mile I rodo. should find my husband 'dead or dyiug, was as firmlv my presentiment and -conviction as any fact of my lilo. When day broke, I was some thirty milus from home. ; I knew the" general route our little army expotted to take, and fol lowed them without hesitation, , i : ' About sunriso I came upon a group of women and children, standing and sitting by the road side, each one of them showing tho same anxiety of mind all felt. Stopping a few minutes, I in quired if the battle had been fought.- They knew nothing, but were assembled on the road to catch intelligence. They thought Caswell had taken the right of tlie Wilmington road, and gone towards the northwest, (Cape Fear.)"" Again' was T fskiinmin" 'over the ground, through a ... , . 1 3 eountry thinly settled, and very poor and swampy ; but nettner my own sunns uw in, wwuui nosr's failed in he least. We followed the well marked trail of tlie troops. 5 , "The sun must have been well up, say eight or nine o'clock, when I heard a sound like thunder, which I kuew must bo cannon. It was the first time I ever heard a cannon. I stopped still, when presently the cannon thundered again. The battle wat then fighting. What a fool ! my bus. band eonld not be dead last night, and the battle only fighting now 1 Still, as I am so near, I will go and see how they come out. ' Sp away we went again, faster than ever; and I soon found by the noise of the guns that I was near the fight. Again I afoppod. I could hear muskets, 1 could hear rifl8rtnd couldI hear shooting I spoke to my mare and dashed on in tho directum of the firing and the shouts, now louder than ever. The blind path I had been following bswltt me into the Wilmington road leading to Moore's Creek Hridge, a few hundred yards below the bridge- A few yard from the road, under a cluster of trees, were Iyin! perhaps twenty men. They were the wound; ed, I knew the spot the very tree and theposi- tion of the tucn I knew at if i bad seen it a thou-1 Tiiu Economy or Pkmocbacy. The follow and timet' I Lad seon it til night !

M. de la Hive, the celebrated. French, astronomer, ex plains the production of the aurora bores lis in tho following manner: When tbo sun, having passed into the southern hemisphere, no lotiger hoats our hemisphere, the aqueous vapors which have accumulated during the summer iu this part of the atmosphere begin to condense, the kind of humid cap enveloping the polar regions extends, more and more, and facilitates the pas; sage of electricity accumulated in the upper part of the air.- liut in this elevated region, and es pecially at this period of the year, tho aqueous vapors must most frequently pass into tho state of minute particles of ice flouting in the air, sim ilar to those which give rise to the halos ; they form as it were, a kind of sctui-transporent mist. These half frozen fogs conduct the electricity to the surface of the earth, near the pole and are, at the same time, illuminated by thesujeurrents or, electric discharges. .In fact, all Dbsorvers agree iu asserting that the aurora Iwwoalis is eonntant. , . . - - ...1 1. . : f .1 ly preceded by a mist, which lines from the pole, aud the margin which, less dense than tjie re mainder, is colored the first; aud,-indeed, it is very frequent near the pole during winter months, and especially in those where there is an abun dance of vapor in tho air.

Baltimore 1'a ti hJl. " . . Improved Hvhrauuc Klevatob. The following we take from the columns of the Scien tific American, making a few slight alterations to adopt it toourown columns; r Tbo great fault of water elevators which are attached to an endless chain, is that they do not raise enough for the amount of labor expended; they arc too wasteful, as they afford so many op portunities for leakage during the passago of tho water from the cistern to the spout. The sub ject of this article overcomes this difficulty in two ways : lirst, by having the buckets in sucli a shape as to retain all the water received until the prop er time to discharge, it into the spout; and second ly, by preventing any shaking of the buckets in their passoge up, by making the chain in such a manner as to ensure its rigidity. On tho top of the well a frame is mounted, carrying a flangcl wheel, provided with cogs between the flanges, ' so that it can be rotated by another eogged wheel and crank handle below it. In the bottom of the well is another frame, in which a flanged guide pulley is secured by double-beveled keys. An endless chain, formed of curved links,'having pro- jections upon-their backs, which fit iuto the spa ces bctwen the cogs on the flangel wheel, to that ceartainty and steadiness of rotation is secured. The mouths of the buckets aro protected by a sort of scoop or spout, which holds the water when the bucket is .in a horizontal position, and does not allow any to escape until the mouth has acquired a considerable inclination downwards; but tho curve of the mouth of the bucket is not so great as to retain any water that should bediv charged-into tho spout. Uh this pump there is no liability of splashing so as to rust the wheels or nails iu tho framing; and with it water can be elevated to any height, or from the deepest well. Tho invention is also applicable to shins' pumps, .by-liaving-thc.nds. ot-thtt-shaft of JieJower. ... wheel to move in a groove, which is an aro ot a circlo, with the axlo for a center, and a weight attaened to 1110 lower snait to Keep tnc two siues of the endless chain .perpendicular during the motion of the ship, so that the buckets will re tain their contents until they urrive at the dis chr.rL'C spout.
