In the year 1810, the English sloop of war Clinton, after cruising successfully against the vessels of the French lay anchored off Cal cult a. Soon after the anchor was down, a One young sailor, named Henry Mellon, a man of refinement and . education, who however, had ship- i ped as a foremast liaud, uiade ap- j plication to the captain for permis nod to go ashore lo visit his old mother, who, anticipating the ves-sel's arrival at her present port, had sailed hi a trading vessel all j the way. from England to Calcutta for thesake of seeing her son. Too ill to go aboard the sloop, ; she had sent word to Henry of her arrival, begging him to come to her. Old Capt. Knowles, of the vessel, was a strict disciplinarian. Al though his beautiful daughter Sly veeu, a girl of eighteen, who had joined her father at a Spanish port, where she had been staying with her brother, besought her stem parent to grant the sailor's request, yet it was decidedly refused. The consequence was that nenry Melton, who had finally learned that his mother was not expected to live, deserted on a certain dark night, in a boat in which he went ashore from the war-vessel, as one ! of the crew, for provisions. The young man was.jnst in time to receive his mother's last blessing, and to close her eyes in death. He had with him a snm of money; a part of this he took to an English merchant of whom his mother had hired her lodgings, and from whom he obtained a promise that the re-mains of his parent should be decent ly bnried. I With the cash he had left, he pur-chased a small pistol, which he loaded with powder aud ball, and concealed in a secret pocket of his i jacket. The instrument was one of the best of its kind. Henry, in his' prosperous days, bail taken lessons of a celebrated professor of pistol practice, who had not only tangbt him how to always bit liis mark, but also how to choose a good weai»n. He knew that he would be ar-rested, and be condemned either to j a dogging with the fearful ' cat-o'- j nine tails' or death, for his deser-tiou. Should the sentence against him prove to be punishineut with the lash he now had with him the means of avoidiug it. Sooner than suffer the disgrace of a flogging, he would shoot him-; self through the hea\l with his | pistol. He resolved to endeavor to avoid capture until his mother was buried, that he might at least have the sat-isfaction of seeing that cold form deposited in its final resting-place. He, therefore, struck far out into the country, ami finally couccaled himself In a cavern. Toward night of the next day, who should pass his retreat but the j captain and his daughter, who had been out all day, accompanied by-guides, for a stroll T Unfortunately for Henry, there was with the party a small dog. which, soon discovering the young man, set up a loud barking. The captain, with his nindoo guides, attracted to the cave by the noise, saw the sailor. ■Ha!" exclaimed the old com-mander. ' So here we are ! Arrest him. guides ! He is one of my men —a deserter V Mel lou was soon a prisoner. ' How far are we from the city !' inquired Captain Knowles of one the gnides. 1 Six miles," was the response. ' Then we will! pitch our tents in that plain yonder, aud encamp for the night. Keep a good watch on the prisoner, guides.' 'Oh, papa, pleaded Sylveen, with tears in her beautiful blue eyes,' let him go.' ' Humph !' growled the captaiu. ' A pietty navy we'd have of it if we took the advice of the women.— No, tua.aiu, that man must not go He has deserted in time of war.— He will be shot.' The tents were soon pitched by some of the gnides, who carried canvas and blankets. Though much latigued, yet Byl veen could nut sleep for thing of the prisoner. II;. iv. .... handsome face, show-ing neither fear nor bravado, when her l.ither luul mentioned his des tined fate, haunted her miud. Through a crevice iu the teut,; she could now see him standing composed and cueerful-lookiug, out iiu-u- iu the clear moonlight, a-mongst his dusky guards. At last the young gtil diop)>ed ofl' to sleep. At dawu she was awakened by a strauge feeliug of oppression iu her chest. A thrill of horror went through her frame. Motiouless—speechless with fear she lay, al sight ol a iiiile.ius looking serpent coiled upon her breast! The monster was about four feet long, its folds wound up iu three rings, in the center of which was its head, slightly elevated, its two glit tering eyes turned full upon her lace, its forked tongue moving back and forth with lightning rapidity iu its hall opened month! The body was a dark color, and had the appearance of being cover-ed all over with slimy-looking spots of scales. Under the throat were two stringy appendages like minia-ture hammocks to that part ot the creature, and adding to the uncouth aspect of the reptile. Sylveen bad heard descriptions enough ot this fearful pest of India, to realize at a glace, that her ter-rible visitor was the terrible cobra de capello—one of the most veno motis of the serpent tribe. What could she do t The slightest cry—the feeblest movemeut on her part would insure her destruction. The creature had its gaze upon her, aud the moment she should stir it would doubtless thrust its horrible head against her lace or neck and make her feel the fatal bile of its poisonous tangs. Scarcely daring to breath, she lay, keeping even her eyelids steady, while a cold perspiration bathed her brow, and her heart beat loud and fast with a wilder terror that almost deprived her of conscious-ness. Meanwhile, outside the tent she could hear the voice ot her father and the guards, as they moved to and fro, ignorant of her perilous position. Would they never come ? Vaiuly she listened for her father's ap-proaching footsteps. Several times she saw his shadow across the threshold of the tent, and once she beheld his arm ; but he did not en-ter. Suddenly the serpent elevated its head higher than before. The beat-ing of her heart, the heaviug of her breast, which she could not sup-press, had probably roused the creature to action. Slowly the head was thrust for-ward, then its slimy touch was on her flesh—it lay nestled ou her white throat! In a few moments she would probably feel its horrid fangs! Just then her father looked in the teut. He saw the serpent at once—at once realized the peril of his child. An involuntary cry es-caped him. The Hindoo guides were soou at his side. They looked ho|«-lessly at their muskets and their knives. They could neither cut nor shoot the ser-pent lyiug so close against the girl, without mortally wounding her. For them to attempt to seize the creature with their hands must also prove fatal to the young woman.— The moment they touched it, it would bite her throat. What was to be done! How was the serpent to be removed ! Not one of them could think of any plan, and the old captain wi uiig his hands in silent agony, be-lieving that the fate of the child was sealed. Suddenly Henry Melton made his appearauce at the door of the tent. The guides and the captain, in their trepidatiou and alarm, had forgotten him. He might have es-caped, had he so wished. The moment he beheld Sylveen's situation, bis eyes gleemed with a cold, steady glitter. The girl lay on her back, her right side toward the door of tho teut. In this posi-tion her throat, with the head of the serpent nestled upon it, was distinctly revealed. Henry raised his left arm. as a sign to the party to make no noise. With his right he drew his pistol. ' Hold !' whispered the captain, seizing his wrist. ' If you tire at the serpent you will kill my chi d !' 11 will save her,' answered Mel-ton. ' My God! I cannot risk it.' Your bullet will fail—it must fail, with the serpent right on her!' 4 Have no fear, sir!' answered Melton, calmly. He looked so confident that the captain, who had heard that he was a ' crack shot' from some ot the midshipmen aboard, let go his wrist. Then kueeliug, Henry leveled his pistol straight at the serpent's head, which still rested ou the girl's throat! There was a moment of fearful suspense. The guides shook their heads solemnly, believing that the voting womau's doom was sealed ; and the captain was about seizing Henry's arm again, when a fiery streak of flame leaped from the pistol, followed by a sharp, ringing P64P'a!le as death, the captain rush, ed^ to his daughter. Henry striled. The serpent lay dead ou the ground, its bead crushed by the bullet, which had not even grazed the throat of Sylveen! ' He has saved you ! cried the old captain, straining the girl to his bosom. ' Yes, papa! Oh, papa, now save' him, too!' Tim captain did so. Henry was pardoned fur his temporary deser-tion. In the course of lime he be-i oame an officei and married Sylveen I (.Detroit Free Praia.] He Pit with Stonewall Jack-son. He was at tho Central station yesterday, waiting to go to the: county insane asy In iu. There was , a wild look in bis eyes, and now and then he muttered to himself; but one would sooner think him the . victim ot poverty ami hard lack , than a lunatic. His garments were faded and reut, the It-It arm was off j at the elbow, he had a painful limb, ■ad he was old and gray. Sudden- \ ly pausing in his walk, he stood at I " attention " and exclaimed : " Rightdress—front!" Some of the men looked up, and I the old man continued: " I fit with Stonewall Jackson— that's what ails me." " Were you a soldier f asked one of the men who had carried a mus-ket for three years. The old man regarded him with a look of pity and contempt, and loftily replied, " I will show yon !" He had his coat and vest nil in a moment, and, pulling open his old woollen shirt, he pointed to a terri-ble scar. " Was struck there with a bayo-net." said the old man. He exposed his left thigh, and there was another terrible scar, showing where an ounce ball had ploughed its way, and explaining why he limped. "Got that lighting with Stone-wall Jackson P" he said, his voice betraying pride. He mutely pointed to his maimed arm, waited a full minute, and then whispered : " And I got that under Stonewall Jackson, too!" He stood at '• attention "' again, his eves fixed on the wall. His fact-was stern for a moment, but then it softened and lighted up. He seemed to see a picture of the past on the blank wall, aud presently he was wearing the gray again. He trembled with excitement as he wheeled around and exclaimed : "Did I light with Stonewall Jackson t You bet 1 did !" Waiting a moment, he sat down and continued: "'Member when we 'nns came down ou you 'uns in the Wilderness T I saw him a dozen times that day, aud we 'uns knew you 'tins would catch blazes. For ward, forward—march, inarch, all day long, no rest, no rations, no let up. Old Uncle Robert (Geueral Lee) had sent lor Jackson, and Jackson was bound to be thar on time. Along the roads, across the fields, and jist at daik we struck yon 'uns—struck like a tornado.— Down along tha thickets—through the woods—across the swamps, and yon'nns didn't see us'uns coming." "Great blazes!" continued the old man as he sprang up. " We charged right down among you'uus, don bled the line up. and drove it. That's who Stonewall Jackson was, that's how we fit ! I got this'ete hurt in the hip there, and while. I was lying there yon'nns chawed this arm of with a grape shot! Dief Lots of graybacks would have died; but wasn't I under Jackson—old Stonewall T We tit, sir: we couldn't stop long enough to die I" His eyes flashed, color came to his face, and lor a moment he show-ed all the pride of a veteran of Wa-terloo. Then his true situation .-a in.- back to him, and he sat down, excitement and exultation all gone, and said : " I haven't money enough to buy a crntn.li, aud my head isn't exactly right. I've surrendered to yon'nns, and you'uns ate going to take me somewhere. I'm old and used up, and I wish I'd a died under Jack-son !"' The men waited awhile, and then questioned him ; bnt he lixed his gaze on the wall and would make no reply. When the officer came to escort him to the depot he no-ticed tho old man's lameness and asked : " Shall we take a car V " No, sir." was the prompt reply: " forward, guide right, 'arch ; I fit with Stonewall Jackson !" The Results of Radical Mis-rule. The following, which we find in the Richmond Dispatch, is a synop-sis of facts from the very able speech of Senator Johnston, of Vir giuia: Austria Population, 35,604,435; peace establishment of army,345,- 00(1; aunual expenditures, t261.- 000,000. France—Population, 36,102,821; army peace establishment, 420,000 ; annual expenditures, 1444,120,000. Great Britain—Population 31,- 317,108; army, 133,S49; the largest navy in the world aud a debt of $4,000,000,000; annual expendi-tures, 8343,140,000. Germauy—Population of 41,058, 139; peace army, 402,500 ; expen-ditures, 8383,120,000. United States—Population iu 1870, 38,555,083 ; army, 30,000 ; net ordinary receipts, 8395,059,883; the States, #243,303,824. Aggregate taxation, |G44,203,707. Thus it appears that the people of the United States pay in taxes 817 per head average on all ages, sexes, and conditions—three times as much as Austria, over one-third more than France (recently from Prussian conquest, indemnity, and spoliation,) aud twice as mnch as Great Britain and Germany. From 1800 fo 1804, inclusive, the United States exported to Great Britain 127,OOO,O00bushels of wheat; Russia exported to the same coun-try 47,000,000 bushels of wheat.— From 1808 to 1872, inclusive, Rus-sia exported to Great Britain 117,- 967,000 bushels of wheat; and the United States exported to the same country 116,462,000 bushels—the Uuited States declining in the com petition 11,000,000, Russia increas-ing 70,000,000, aud exceeding by 1.500,000 the export of the United States to (ireat Britain.

How Mozis Adums was got in-to Serious Trouble. " Mozis Adums," who went on a recent voyage to New York, travel-ed by way of the Old Dominion line of steamers. The first letter giving an account ot his adventures and experiences appears in the /'/> Bates of yesterday. We copy the following extract, showing how one of our citizens got the old man into serious difficulty. Bermudy Hunduds soon diverted my mind, but it wus a tuelankolly divurshuu—looks like a village ou Nootky Soun—barbus and tuiser-bul.

The products of Louisiana be-tween 1860 and 1870 decreased from thirty-one to fourteeu millions. The writer adds : The receipts iu Richmond (Governor's ^statement) from the James river and Kanawha canal declined between 1860 and 1873-4 : In flour, 83 per cent.; in wheat, 87 per cent.; in tobacco, 63 percent. From another source he learns that the production of flour by the city mills was: In 1850, " Oh !" sais I, " I ketcbed you' ineanin', now, I'm way billed iu the keer uv Mr. V.

What was fed to the dogs would have fattened hogs enough to have furnished the population with a reasonable amount of meat. Corse the worthless dogs! Who ever you find them in great num-bers, you find the people corres-pondingly |>oor and the country wretched. I wish the tax on each dog was twenty-five dollars, and the proceeds given to encouraging the raising oi sheep. Here is i great central State, adapted by na tare to the production oi wool, and wool, too, of such superior quality that it has taken the premium more than once at the World's I' I on account of the myriads ot worth-less curs which prey upon shtt there is not one quarter enough wool produced for home consump tiou. In twenty-seven counties of State, average counties, the dogs last year killed 11,469 sheep. In the county of Giles they got awaj with 1,750. A northern farmer who settled in Coffee county was telling nu- a few days ago of the tine location In-had for sheep raising as compared with the North. It cost only one-half to winter sheep here aa in the North. The cold weather nevei killed his lambs, no mattei what month ol the year they were.born.

It is estimated that it the Eng-lish Channel bo successfully tun-nelled, the 300,(100 travellers who now cross it will increase to 3,000,- 000. A journey from London to Paris will then take but five or six horns, with the dreaded rough sea voyage taken out. The boring is to begin simultaneously in England and France, from the bottom of t ,vo wells, 100 feet deep. The bore is to be nine feet in diameter, by machinery invented by Dickson Brunton. The debris made from the excavation is to be continuous ly carried ont the whole of the bore, and the fresh air breathed by the workmen is to be continuously fore ed in. When Charles Dickens made Montague Tigg the projector of a plan for tunneling the English Channel he did so in the nature of a huge joke, that was intended as a satire upon some of the chimeri-cal financial schemes of tbe period. Y'et here, today, is a practically and scientifically organized scheme, backed by large capita!, for the ex-ecution in earnest of the task be proposed in jest and ridicule. As suredly, it is unsafe to ridicule al-most anything, to matter how im-practicable it looks at the moment, for posterity turns our ridicule upon ourselves.—Bait. Sun. ouly 1,900,000 tons.

The debt of the country held abroad is estimated by well-inform-ed men at from 81,000.000,000, to 81,50ii,0OO,0O0,the interest on which is annually sent abroad. Mr. John-ston might have added the sums spent abroad by absentees ami tour-abidin' kominunity, and. sir, wo ar not accustomed to these vilent ex-hibishunsuv temper.

Although a woman's age is unde-niably her own, she does not own it, than at home. This has beeu esti-mated at tens of millions annually. This was supposed to be in part compensated by immigration, each immigrant being a producer as well as bringing money with him. The report of Commissioner of Immigration in 1851 states that the annual sums thus brought by the Germans alone amounted fur three yeais to 811,000,000 per annum.— The statistical tables of the Duchy of Baden fix the amount brought by each immigrant at 898 in gold ; Bavarian. 893,20 ; Brunswickers, 890 ; Wurtemburgers who oame in 1856, and 8134 each iu gold; iu 1857, 8115; aud in 1858; 8310. The statistics of immigration have not been received, but it is known that there is a large reflux returning with their means.
