Child’s Faith.—In the Highlands of
Scotland there is a mountain gorge twen
ty feet in width and two hundred feet in
depth. Its peculiar walls are bare of
vegetation, save in their crevices, in
which grow numerous wild flowers of rare
lieaniv. Desirous of obtainiusr sneci
mens of these mountain berries, some
scientific tourist once offered a Highland
boy a handsome gift if he would consent
to he lowered down the cliff by a rope,
and would gather a little basketfull of
them. 'Ihe boy looked wistfully at the
money, for his parents were poor ; but
when he gazed at the yawning chasm, he
shuddered, shrank back and declined.—
Hut filial love was strong within him,and
after another glance at the gift and at the
terrible fissure, bis heart grew strong, his
eyes (lashed, and he said;
“ I’ll go if my father will hold ihe
rope!”
And then, with unshrinking nerves,
cheeks unblanohed, and heart firmly
strong, he suffered his father to put the
rope about him, lower him into the wild
abyss, and to suspend him there while he
filled his little basket with the coveted
flowers. It was a daring deed, but bis
faith in the strength of bis father's arm,
inti the love of his father’s heart, gave
him courage and power to perfom it.

Arms Furnished to Slaves.—It is
suited on reliable authority that the slaves
of a widow lady in Shenandoah county,
Virginia, were furnished with arms by
the aholitouisfs, and a night appointed for
them to start to Harper’s Ferry. Instead
of doing so, however when the time came,
they held a consultation, and taking those
very arms, kept guard from dark till dawn
around their mistress’s house. In the
■ morning they showed her the arms, told
her what they had done, and went to
work as usuai.

BY TELEGEAPH!
Street Rencov.nter iu Nashville—G. G.
Poindexter, Editor of tho Union and
American, instantly killed.
Nashvii.ue, Nov. IS.-—A street ren
counter took place this morning between
Allen A. Hall, editor of tlie Nashville
News, and G. G. Poindexter, editor of the
Union and American, in which the latter
was instantly killed, receiving a load of
buckshot in his breast from a shotgun in
the bands of tho forutar. Mr. Poindexter
did not fire his weapon. The difficulty
originated in an editorial quarrel.
[The Memphis Appeal of Saturday,
gives the following additional particulars
of' the killing of Mr. Poindexter by Mr.
Hall:
Mr. Poindexter called twice this morn
ing at the News office to see Mr. Hall,
hut Mr. H. had iiot come down to the
office, it being early. Mr. Poindexter
called a third time, Mr. Hall, in the mean
time, having been informed that Mr.
Poindexter was coming down the street to
the News office. Mr. Hall then stepped
out with a double-barrel shot gun and
warned Mr. Poindexter not to come near
er. Mr. P. advanced, however, drawing
and cocking hts pistol. When he was
within about twenty-five yards of Mr.
Hall, Mr..H. fired. Ten buckshot took
effect tn Mr. Poindexter’s breast. He ex
pired without uttering a word. The cause
of the difficulty was a political quarrel.
Mr. Hall was arrested, but was released
without bond till Monday morning, at
which time an examination will take place.]
HARPER’S FERRY INSURRECTION.
Dr. Howe, of Boston, Fled to Canada—
Rumored Rescue of Brown—Great Ex
citement at Richmond and Alexandria—
Two Companies of Cavalry sent for—
Five Barns and out-houses fired.
Boston, Nov. 17.—Dr. Howe, of this
city, who is charged with complicity in the
insurrection at Harper’s Ferry, has fled to
Canada so as to avoid being summoned to
appear before the Federal Court. His
friends strenuously deny his having any
connection with the insurrection.
Washington', Nov. 17.—Great excite
ment prevails at Richmond and Alexan
dria on account of the rumor being circu
lated that the rescue of Brown is to be at
tempted. The rumor is discredited in this
city.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 17.—A tele
jraphic dispatch was received here to-day
from Col. Davis, at Alexandria, to Gov.
Wise, requesting him to send immediate
ly two companies of Cavalry. The dis
patch stated that five barns and out-houses
iiad been fired to-day, and it was supposed
to be the work of the sympathizers of
Brown.
TWO DAYS LATEH FROM BROWNSVILLE.
New Orleans, Nov. 17.—The New
Orleans True Delta has received private
advices from a gentleman who left Browns
ville, Texas, on the 4th iust. Browns
ville had not been attacked by Cortinas,
but he was hourly expected to advance on
the place.
Cotton Shipments North.—The
following inland movement of cotton be
gins to attract attention in commercial
circles at the North :
During the year ending August 31st
last, the Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce report states that there was receiv
ed at Cincinnati 49,946 bales of cotton—
the highest quantity at any previous year
being 29,000 bales in 1S56. Of the first
named quantity, 3,700 bales were ship
ped up the Ohio river, and 35,400 bales
were sent by canals and railways north
ward. Philadelphia received, in 1853,
12,600 bales of cotton by railroad from
the West, but for 1859 we are unable to
say what quan'ity lias to come; it will
probably go above twenty thousand bales.
But the largest receipt of cotton for the
Northern interior is now over the Illinois
Central liailroad, It is slated that forty
one cars were loaded, at Cairo, with cot
ton, in a single day last week, and 2,000
bales were sent over the whole line of the
road during October, for the factories of
Western New York. The record of
transactions in cotton is not currently given
at St. Louis or Cincinnati, as it should be,
and still more important is the existing
neglect to note the direction shipments
take fiom Memphis, which is the great
cotton mart for the production of Tennes
see and part of Arkansas. The ship
ments from Memphis for the week ending
October 22d, are definitely given, howev
er, and they stand at 7,SS9 bales to New
Orleans to 4,407 sent northward by river,
of which 1,649 hales were sent to St.
Louis, and 2,758 to the Ohio river and
Cincinnati. Whether there are other
shipping ports from which cotton goes
northward wo are not aware, nor whether
the Kentucky railroads carry it. Probably
150,000 bales will so reach the manufac
turing establishments of this city and the
country west and north of us, from tho
crop of 1859, since 30 000 bales of last
year’s crop came to Cincinnati alone. The
Western commercial interests will oblige
us by making note of this new trade, and
by pushing it with vigor.

The Sooth upon the Harper’s Fer
ry Insurrection.—The „voice of the
leading organs of public dplnion in those
slaveholding States which, from proximity
to the seat of the general government, has
reached us soonest, corresponds entirely
with the expressed sentiments of distin
guished Southern gentlemen from differ
ent quarters now in Washington.
It is the voice of moderation and ol
wisdom, different as possible from thai
which the black republican press is so fond
of ascribing to those whom they designate
as •• fire-eaters;” but equally different from
the language of those who would lull the
South into fancied security while they
would drink its life-blood from its veins.
They very naturally look upon the out
break ol Harper’s Ferry as nothing at ali
formidable in itself. But equally uatura
is it for even tiie most sceptical to infei
j that the abolition infection has corruptee
j what would otherwise have been founc
beautiful and healthy in devotion to the

Near Memphis, Tenn., on Sunday, Novem
ber 13, 1859, Mr.jEDEDiAH Prescott, in the
d3d year of his age.
Mr. Prescott was born in Winthrop, Maine,
May 2, 1797; emigrated to the West, near

ruary, 1838. In connection witli his brother,
Levi Prescott, the saw-mill was re-erected,
and they continued in its management until
1811, when it was disposed of.
During the past six years he has been en
gaged in planning out and perfecting an in
vention, (the Eclipse Cotton Uni Feeder,) and
had just succeeded in getting it complete, in
all its parts, when death has intervened to de
prive him from realizing the benefits which
he would have enjoyed from it.
Mr. P. has served for several years as Al
derman from the First ward in the early days
of our city, then but a comparatively small
town.
Mr. P. was married to Miss Sarah Poarsot
in Pennsylvania, in the year 1818, by whom he
had six children, three of whom are now liv
ing—Warren, Morrill, and Jesse P. She diec
in 1810. In 1849 he married Miss Abby Bick
ford, in New Hampshire, by whom he had one
child, a daughter, now living. His secone
wife died in February, 1852. To his thin
wife, a sister of his second, he was married ii
May, 1853, whom he leaves to mourn hi;
death.—[Memphis Bulletin.
-Died at the residence of his father
near Des Arc, in Prairie county Ark., 19tl

his age, after a short but very severe illness
In the death of this young man, we are forci
