The tax collectors will have a hard road to
travel, judging from the success ol the first batch
at Stone Bridge.
The London 2'imes’ Correspondent on the Re
treat.—The Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial writes:
Last Sunday aiternoon, from the direction of
Centreville, there came rushing onward a con
fused mass of transportation and artillery wagons,
ambulances, Congressmen, carriages, horsemen,
pedestrians, &c., all in headlong flight, on the
way to Washington on “important business.”
Among these a solitary horseman, English as to
his aspect, and fat and ruddy as to his appearance,
galloped up with great rapidity, and demanded in
stammering tones a passage through the line.
His stammering utterance was more contused ow
ing to the doubt in his own mind whether he was
at the mercy of a Union ora Secession Regiment.
The Colonel refused to allow him to pass, but fi
nally yielded, on his asserting that he was a ci
vilian, and that he had a pass from General Scott.
The pass showed that he was Wm. 11. Russell,
LL. 1)., and the pussy Englishman gave new
meaning to the fateful day of ^‘•Bull’s' Run.
Feats of Jiiijht from the Battle Field.—The
Boston Traveler has the following:
It is stated that a number of members of Con
gress, who were spectators of the tight on Sunday,
accomplished some extraordinary feats ot tall
running when it became apparent that the tide of
battle had turned. One or two from Massachu
setts got over four miles of ground, probably, in
the shortest time on record.

A Good Siyn.—Mr. J. V. Durand, agent for
the house of J. R, Jafi'ray & Co., of London, was
in our city on yesterday. We learn from him
that this well known British firm designs estab
lishing an agency in New Orleans, for the import
ation ot goods, wares and merchandize of every
character, direct from Europe, with the view of
1 supplying all orders from Southern merchants.
I Every movement of this kind—the natural se-
! quence of Lincoln’s blockade—will add to the
i growth of Southern cities in just such proportion
i as it detracts from the industrial prosperity of
I those in the North.—Memphis Appeal, ilth.
A Good ISale.—The Schr. Herndon was sold
by J. Myers & Son, the builders and owners, to
parties from Virginia for 87,5UU cash. She was
; purchased, we learn, by or tor English subjects
and for a direct trade with England.
I The Herndon, we are informed, is 4 years old,
; 144 tons, Custom-House measurement, and has
I made 43 trips in 39 months.
Messrs. Myers & Son are preparing to build at
; their yard a brig for the European trade. This
I will give employment to a number of mechanics,
and put another vessel on the line to the ports
whence in the future must come the merchandise
; we buy abroad. The enterprise of these gentle-
: men is worthy of all praise. We heartily wish
' them success.— Washinyton {^N. C.) Dispatch.
A Woman's Offurintj.—The following little
presentation was found on the fly leaf of a Bible,
“Let this book, my dear husband, be the com
panion ot your loneliness. When thoughts of
the dear old homo, and the sad faces, that will
brighten only at the coming of the absent loved
one, till thy heart and dim thine eyes, turn to
this book for consolation; when the “pale horse
aud his rider” are gathering victims on every
hand, pray mightily to the Lord of hosts, and
his angels shall encamp around about thee. Be
pure, be good, and may God have thee in his
care and keeping. Lula.
Guimj the Whole Fijure.—The Columbus (Ga,)
Times, in noticing the proceedings of the Cotton
Planters’ Convention at Macon, says:
“On the second day a resolution was adopted de
claring the willingness of the cotton planters to
aid the Government with their entire cotton crop.”
Valuable Stave.—Maj. Matthew J. Coman,
formerly of Raleigh, but novF living iu Haywood
county, has a mulatto woman whom he bought in
1827, at the sale of the late Treasurer, John Hay
wood, lor SoUO, who is now the mother of 1^4
children, 12 of whom are twins. Tfiese negroes
would now sell for §20,000.—AshevUlt New».
NOTICE TO MACilSTRATES.
Onions—Curious Phenomenon.—“How is it
that you raise so large and nice onions?” 1 aaked
of an Iowa lanuer as 1 was sitting at the table
with him, and observed some on his table.
‘•Well,’’ said he, we sprout the seed in boiling
water, and then plant it early anj in good ground,”
“Sprout the seed in bouing waterl” 1 ex
claimed, inquiringiy. “What do you mean by
that/ Won t boiling water kill the seedr’
“Not at all,’' he replied, “but it will sprout
them in one minute’s time.”
“It will! It looks incredible,” 1 replied with
surprise.
“Well, you try it,” he replied, grinningly,
“when the time comes to plant, ana you'll find it
just as I tell you,”
And sure enough, when spring came, and my
neighbour was about planting his onion seed, and
being present, 1 said:
‘‘Jewell, la.st winter there was a man told me
in Iowa, that to pour boiling water on black onion
seed would sprout them in one minute. Suppose
you try it.”
“V ery well,” said he. And takiiig the teakettle
boiling from the stove, he poured the water thus
boiling on the seed which he hid in a saucer.
Looking at it for a moment, he exciaiiiied, “.My
conscience! you have been told rightly—only look
there!”
1 looked, and behold the little sprouts were
shooting out of the opened endsol the .-eed! lie
did not retain the water on tiie seed above three
seconds, and in less than one half minute after it
was poured off the sprouts were projecting from
the seeds.
My Iowa friend assured me that this process
would advance the growth of the onion I'roiu two
to tilree weeks bejiond the ordinary method of
planting wit.hout sprouting. Try it, tar'ieners
