NKCESSAHY SLEEP. . . , There is no fact more clearly estab- lishcd in the physiology than tins, that the brum expends its energies and itself during the hours of wakefulness, and that these arc recuperated during sleep; if the recuperation does not equal the expenditure, the brain with- crs-this is insanity. Thus it is, that in earlv English history, persons who wero condemned to death by being prevented from sleeping always died r..vi.. imninN- thus ir is nfso that iaing maniacs, thus it i, akso, that those who are starved to death become H,n1,r,inia1af,mnri.l1l nn.l lliOtlll UllllU 0 lAVt UllliOliX.Wy U11U I they cannot sleep.

Give yourself, your children, your ,v servants give all that arc under yon, the fullest amount of sleep they will take, compelling them to retire at some regular hour, and to rise the moment they wake; and within a fortnight, nature, with almost the regularity of the sun, will unloose the bands of sleep the moment enough repose has been nenrnil fnr tlw W!i".t nf tho svsteiii. om i i r i . i This is the only safe and suiheient rule: and rs to the question how much sleep any one requires, each must be a rule to himself.

On every ham ami shoulder rub one teaspoon of pnl- vei ized saltpetre. Take molasses, brown sugar and ground black pepper and mix them to the consistency of paste; with the hand rub every piece thoiou-hly, and lay them in piles, so thiMnixtuvc may run over them; let them remain two hours and, rub with fine salt ; pack them in boxes, with holes iu the bottom for the brine to run off, and be careful to use plenty of salt between each laver of meat. Let them reinain live or six weeks, and hang them up to smoke. Smoke with hiekoiy wood and do not let the meat be near the lire, so it may be injured by the heat of -the fire. Middlings and other pieces should bc carefully rubbed with plenty of salt and packed in the- same wav.

Burn your cotton stalks this fall or winter, planters, and see if you are not free from thh terror next summer. We clip the above from an exchange,ard urge upon our planters a trial of- the ex periment. It" cannot do any" harm, will cost but little,' if anything, and may result in incalculable good to our planting inter ests. Our planters may now have it in their power to destroy, in time, this fear ful scourge to our cotton, for if the worm deposits its eggs in the cotton stalks,' des troying them will, in a few years, free us entirely from their devastations. Try the experiment by all means.- Aug. Const. Bkood , Sows.

For more than two years we have been convinced that the sword was the master of the situation, and that General Grant could, at any time during that peri oil, have ejected President aud Congress, with- out resistance from any quarter. If it had seemed to him wise to do so, it would have saved the country an uie trouble and expense ot the disgusting Um demoralizing force we have just witnessed. Ent then the loyai mou oi the North would have missed tne jubilation over the magnanimous and heroic achievement ot thrice slaying the slain.

If he be, as General Butler says, indifferent to human suffering, he has never manifested, by act or word, so far as we are aware, any pleasure in torturing his victims. He has left the indulgence of that noble feline propensity to others, who more i n i. i,...,.i.tf TTo nft. lOUUij niHiii men mnuauu,. ed with manly heroism in demanding r ' that the parole of General Leo, and : other Confederate ofneers should ue 1 NO J 42. religiously respected., His conduct on that occasiou, induces the belief that, wlien iu a positiou.tcf control tbe mat ter, be will ; insist tbat the spirit and intent of that parole shall not be confined to the officers, but shall bo extended to all the people of the Coni federate States. No man knows bet ter than,: ho. does, that General, Leei would never have surrendered . hi$! sword, if it had been understood. thai! the people whom he represented werq to be subjected to African domination General i Grant's letter demanding surrender excludes the possibility; of such an interpretation. fThat letter the second to General Lee, says: ?

U. S. Grant, Lieut. General. General K. E. Lee. "We are not left to conjecture "why these liberal terms were accorded. We are not certain that General Grant himself i,na 11ftf, ndmitted thnt his ob- himsef ims not admitted that his ob- I , x . 1. .1 ' ' x ject was 10 remo e eery niuucemeni to a guerrilla warfare nis friends 1 -. . jjave frequently confessed that such was his motive, and we copied an arti- cje last wecc from the New York Times to tllis effect and expressly conceding tliat jt was a AYise stroke of policy as well as a rraud act of magnanimity. General Grant knows that there never wouia have been peace ; that Southern men -th arms iu their hands, never woul(I bave Slirrendered them on the condition 'that hey were to exchange positi0n.with -their slaves. Quibbles may bo raised about a military capitu- i . . embracing political rights, &c. Bllt General Grant knows the full in t.nt aml wbole scope of that capitula- ti01J alld he knows it would never have been agree(i to by Confederates on the terms of Radical reconstruction. .. We appcal to his Zonor which is more con- cerned in the matter than our's is. lie bas testified to our faithful observance 0t the condition imposeu ; ne is now in -pOSition to exact a like compliance on . . tbe other side. . That we do not pervert the meaning of the capitulation, we subjoin the views of the French Courier des Etats TJniSj whose editor, being , a foreigner and unbiased by our domestic factions, mav be supposed to speak in the im- partial tone of posterity. We give as accurate a translation as we can : of inconsisncy an(1 moral weakuess is impilted to General Grant based on his acceptance even of Q cliaracterized ?

Now, the Signer of that treatj whs no other than Gen. Grant; and it is the violation of his own parole, the setting at naught his ' 6 Bacred engagementswhjeh he signs with both hands, in acquiescing" in the Vsuppres sioh of rights conceded by him to the co signers of the treaty of pacification." . General Grant may have considered that heretofore it was only his duty to guard the capitulation in its purely military bearing, as ho did when ho protected General Lee against the loyal fury of Mr. Johnson : now his role ' is enlarged, and the whole subject falls within his perview. ..We conceive there is no want of respect to General .Grant in thus frank- y exyressing our sense and that of all Confederates as to the responsibility resting on : liim as a soldier and 'a gentlcmani, iu this regard.! He has only to recur to the sweeping and comprebeiisivc words of the terms of surreiuler not to he disturbed J by U nited States authoritityv--iot merely the military, but any authority of tho United States ; and to recall the motives which prompted kim, to know what honor, to say nothing of ' simple justice, demands at his hands.

The London Lanect says: A boy of twelve, belonging to Korsk (Western Russia,) who usedto walk with a crutch on account of ancholosis of the right knee, was on horseback in the fields, when he was overtaken by; a seveirb clap of thunder the horse ran away, and the boy, completely "' stunned fell to the ground; ' When lie returned to his senses, he found1 that his right leg was gone. The patient's .shirt and clothes were in' shreds, and burned along the seams, and on the body was many scars. A . few days afterward, Dr. liogowitch found a regular wound as usually made by tlte amputating knife, surrounded with granulations, arid presenting in the center gangren ous spots. The division had been ef fected by lightning, through tho supe rior extremity of the tibia, the patella and femur being intact. The healing of this wonud took pluoo very, rapidly, and by the use of ordinary means. The severed leg was found ou the grass several days alter the accident, emit ted no smell, the tibia being quite black, and stripped half down tho leg. These facts are guranteed by Dr. Syc- Remarkable Case op Petrifac tion. About six years ago Mr. Amos Broughton died in Wayne county, iu this State, and was - buried there. Af ter his death his widow and children moved to Buskirk's Bridge, in this county, where they now reside. , A few days ago the family of the deceas ed resolvcd to bring the remains of the father from Wayne county, and havo them deposited m a cemetry near their present residence. In furtherance of this purpose the grave was opened and the comn exposed, but all the ordinary efforts to lift it from its position prov ed ineffectual. The coffin lid was there- f jre removed, when it was found, that the body was in the most perfect sta to of petrifaction. It was covered with a dry mould, which, when removed, re- veaied a surface : almost as white as marble. The body showed not the least particle of decay. Every feature and lineament was perfectly preserved and when stood upright it presented the .appearance of a finely chiseled stat ue. When Mr. Broughton died ; ho weighed about two hundred pounds, while the remains had increased in weight by petrifaction to eight hundred pounds. Before the body was interred, at Buskirk it was seen by the family, friends, and many others there. It is the most perfect and wonderful in stance of petrifaction of human re mains that has ever come to our knowl edge. Troy (X. Y.J. Press.
