Several years ago two young gentle-! j men of this name flourished veryexten-j sively in this vicinity, and as the saying Coes ''wed (weeded) a wide row." They taught penmanship, and being deaf and dumb, the sympathies of the citizens be-, ,o,l ivormlvin their behalf, and i procured for them large schools . ! They were very romantic white uere, fri i .rreat manv novels, and so far as i 1 know wrote some, for being cr?'ad libi hiim' thouirh supposed to be really adder 1 WVi Q wf - CJ I w de.if, they had, like the captain in "Jacob Faithful" frequent opportunities of over- thearins confessions of love and many oth- t 1 : i I n A lonlnjiipac r nnnfiilonio and Cr lime; VI i SVj uju I v w . buiiiiuiiivu a uu could consequently supplv themselves with material for any number of nouvel- cttes. They were suspected while here, of not being so deaf that they couldn't by an ac cident hear a compliment paid to their personal appearance In Salisbury they were supposed to be impostors after they had been" there a while; and in Greensbo ro' one of them got fixed somewhat after this fashion. He was the taller of the two, very graceful and quite handsome. He became enamored of a young lady, and a mutual attachment rapidly sprung up between himself and her, not unlike that between Mazeppa and Theresa in Byron's drama of the Piince deV Ukraine. "They met, they gazed, they saw and sighed, They did not speak but yet replied." Eyes did ihe speaking, as he was dumb, and hands in the soft pressure which there is no mistaking, conveyed the electric in telligence of their love, as he was deaf. How long they kept up a cross-fire of "Involuntary sparks of thought, Which speaks from out their hearts o'er wrought." I reck not; but one balmy afternoon when the autumn winds sighed through I 'forest walks and flowry leas,' they stroll ed along through these, upon the brow of day; and breathed the incense which was ascending from nature heavenward. Oh how they loved each other, and how by signs which have a tenfold meaning in them, they brought heart in close and ho ly communion, with heart. She lent lovingly and confidingly upon his arm, and thus leaning murmured rath er than spoke; Ah me I wish he could speak; how eloquently he could discourse of this lovely sunset prospect. 'Is that all you wish, to make you hap py?' asked Melville, imprinting an im passioned kiss upon her ruby lips, and breaking the spell of silence which had sealed his own lips so long. If that be all, know my siveet enchantress that like the fair Ionion, thy voice has been music to my ear,' when every one believed, that that ear heeded not the soft notes which Jail sweeter that the strains of Aeolus, from the tongue of woman. If that be , know that thy beauty, far more pow erful than any charm connected with the beauty of this picturesque scene, has giv en my heart a key that key is love, and it unlocked the silence which fastened ny tongue. Its first impulse continued he passionately after its happy libera tion, shall not be to discourse of the sun shine gleaming as through amber clouds, o'er all the western sky,' nor of the ro mance of this prospect, but of that from which all around us borrow their interest and their charm of thee would my en franchised utterance speak of thy 'form of beauty smiling at my heart, so lovely, so commanding." With the rocovery of his voice her's was gone; she was completely dumb- iounueu; it the thunders of heaven had pealed around her head, if the dead had dim is ue ciuseu mis nis nrsi vocal anos ' trophe to her, her eyes wild with amaze ment and undefinable excitement, she shrieked, fainted and fell into his arms. After awhile she recovered and they slowly wended their way homewards, he the while "melting his heart" and pouring its one long tale of love inio her ears. He assured her that henceforward he would not be deaf to her, and her his tongue should ever be ready, to speak the tale of devotion and affection's pledge. " ieii-ner at her lather's gate whisper- - auieu, pressed nor hand gently :and with a significant look which told as "ch as his torque oould utter, bade her autevotr" which being intctprcted for ims particular occasion, and asuudcrslnori by her was be 'careful till we meet again Fnt nnnn fVtll.-i...

General Twiggs returned from the Mexican war with two marks of hard service which all his laurels could not hide. One was a head as white as wool; and the other a cutaneous erup tion on his forehead. For the latter he was advised to try a mixture of sulphur, and sugar of lead and rose water. In ap plying it, some of the mixture moistened the hair on his forehead, and after a while this part of his hair resumed its original color. He then applied the mixture to all his hair, and it all became as is now, of its primitive sandy hue. He communicated the fact. to some of his friends in Wash ington especially to some who are wid owers and seeking preferment and it has been found efficacious in every in stance. It does not dye the hair, but seems to operate on the roots, and restores the original color. The recipe is as follows: 1 drachm Lac Sulphur, drachm Sugar of Lead, 4 ounces Rose Water. Mix them, shake the phial on using the mixture and bathe the hair twice a day for a week or longer if necessary. From the Raleigh Star. NOTICE.

(J3A Historical fact is brought out in the Washington Union of Wednesday, in an article on the leading points in the nul lification movement of 1833 which, as illustrative of the high and truly national position which Gen. Cass has always oc cupied, is worthy of record. We copy from the Philadelphia Ledger, a neutral print, a brief allusion to it: "When the excitement had risen to the highest pitch, the Richmond Enquirer published a letter written by a statesman and patriot calling on the Legislature of Virginia, then in session, to send a com missioner to South Carolina who might act as mediator between that state and the General Government. The Legislature of Virginia promptly responded to thej call, and Mr. 15. watKins jee was des patched on a mission of peace. He was received with great distinction by the Governor and all the authorities of South Carolina, and in a great degree succeeded in allaying the excitement and in making the people of that extreme State return to their allegiance to the Union. The auth or of the letter, which appeared in the Richmond Enquirer, says the Union of Wednesday last, was never given to the public; but Mr. Ritchie, then the editor of the Richmond Enquirer, feels no hesita tion new to state for the first lime, that it was Lewis Cass, the Secretary of War under Gen Jackson The anecdote is certainly very interesting at thi period, and proves Gen. Cass to stand now where he stood eighteen years ago on the plat form of the Union and the Constitution a wise and generdOstatesman." From the Charleston Mercury. - (jf Henry A.

Richmond Enquirer. Scrvile"Insurrection in Alabama. The Columbus Times of the 15th instant, says: A telegraph despatch' from Mont gomery bring us intelligence of a negro insurrection in Lowndes county, Ala. It appears that some 400 blacks met togeth er with hostile intentions. They were discovered, attacked and fired on by the whites. One negro was killed, some 20 wounded, and a large number taken pris oners. The whole were dispersed. It is reported that this insurrection had been excited by a white man from New York, who had beat a histy retreat, but was closely pursued by a party of citizens, who entertained hopes of ovei taking him before he reached a free State. A num ber of the negroes engaged in the affair had absconded, and large rewards wero offered for their arrest. From the Portsmouth Pilot. Runaway Slaves. Special Telegraph to the Tribune. Washington, Thursday, Aug. 22. Two slaves, the property of Mr Calvert, are said to have absconded, and thirty or forty from the adjoining re gion in Maryland. Slave Excitement in Baltimore. Baltimore, dug. 9, 1850. Five slaves who had run away from their owners in Maryland, were brought down this morning in the cars of the Sus quehanna railroad from Pennsylvania. It appears that there were eleven run aways, from different countiesin this State, and certain Pennsylvanians, learning that they were secreted on the farm of a ne gro, one mile across the Pennsylvania line, proceeded to capture them and suc ceeded in gett ing seven of them. In passing through Strasburg, York , !. . 1 i t county, the abolitionists, headed by Post- J J Brown, ende.vor.ng to rescue them, and succeeded in getting two of them. In the struggle, Brown was knock ed down. The five slaves that remained were then put in'o the cars and sent to this city. While in the cars, pistols were fired at the Pennsylvanians. One slave, in at- tempting to shoot his captor, shot himself. : The affair produced a great excitement , .. , ... here, as well as all along the railroad.
