hoaso of Frederick Palm of thin

Paha-md his family were in bed,
when at about Í o'clock in thd'morn-
ingthay .were aroused by one of our
cilixend, Informing them thai their
home was on fire. The house was
soon ,completely enveloped in flames,
and the pwrfcona present had bar ly
time to save a email portion ot tho
furniture, a great part, including'
considerable quantity of provisions
vm consumed. This misfortune
leaves the family quite destitute, and
wsdrapo* our eitisens will assist them
in some measure to repair their losses.

will one of the moat quiet affaire of
the kind we have ever heard of. But
three or four of our citizens knew of
itjsftd no effort; It appears, was
made to arouse the people. If a few

it Soems strange that no persons was
thoughtful enough to ring or attempt
to ring either. The fire k is thought
originated from ashes deposited in
the smoke house.

ty The news that Gen. Harney
with 60,000 Missouri troops have
coins over to the Confederate cause,
is thought to be true. Fnll confir-
mation of this however, bss not yet
arrived.
The desertions from the Federal
army of the North W«st appear io
.be on the increase. Some 2,000 or
more bsve deserted in Arkansas, a
large number of whom have been

BP Soine of our coteraporaries are
very clamorous, because they fear the
legislature will trammel the plantéis
so that they can not plant all cotton
this yea , But notwithstanding this
clamor of the press, we have yet to
hear of the first person in the coun-
try, who is opposed to the measure.
It seems to be the opinion of every
body that something must be done
in order to ins re breadstuffis for the
support oflhe army, and the families
of soldiers.
It is trn , there iattfore danger to
the interests of the country, from too
much than too little legislation. But
these are exttaor inny times; and
should the legislature adjourn with-
out doing something, to provide for
au ample supply of breadstuff, or
withoul/in some way, regulating the
currency, many people will conclude
that the legislature was convened in
Extra session to no purpose.
HP A General Court Martial, held
at Houston has sentenced Capt. D.
N. Jackson. Co. I, Cook' Regiment,
¡to be dismissed from the service, for
I plundering the house of Mrs. Hank
¡ inson, on Galveston Island, on Jan-
juury Aih. 1863. General Magiuder
han approved the sentence and has
¡ordered that said D. N. Jackson, late
I Captain, be immediately enrolled ss
I a conscript and sworn into the C. S,
service.
It is reported that the Indigna
¡authorities have ordered the troop,
■from that State to return home. It
j is also said that Kentucky by an
act of the legislature, has seceded,
conditional upon Lincoln's withdraw-
ing his emancipation proclamation
in 20 days. Alas, Kentucky / poor

Mcstaro.—The Hupplies of this
article of which immense quantities
are generally used in the South, have
heretofore been mostly supplied from
the Western States, although it .«an
be raised here much more easily and
abundantly. It is another exampl
of the shameful dependence upon onr
enemies, we have hitherto livep in.
In th¡B as well as in many other
mattera^we are at last happily com
pelled to depend on onreelveS. Aside
from the necessity we are under now
of providing a large supply of mus-
tard for medical and other uses, In
the point of profit there is no crop
farmer can raise more lemunerative.
We have seen in some of the Patent
Office Reports, a report from an
Illinois formeri of his experience in
raiting mustard for market, and he
estimated his profit at. we think,
$300 per acre—much better than
making cotton at nothing per pound.
It should be planned early in the*
spring, in drills 18 inchea or two

When, one position is to bé main-

meat, is to tie wHh the hwtid towards
the north pole. Persons who sleep
with their h> ads in the opposi.e d
lecriou or lying crosswise, are, liablt

When they go back to the right
position, these disorders, if not too
deeply impressed upon the const it u-

are always more refreshed by sleep
when their heads point due north.

I notice in
yours of the 14 th ult, that you think
it rather strange to see men drove
about at the point of the bayonet for
-i wi ek or more and then turn these
men loose without a trial. If#e sui-
ter ou machinery to be worked iu
such a loose tnauuer, everything will
soon go to wrack.
These men have been accused of
insutrectionaiy uioveineu.s..— Why
don't the authorities, military or civil
take it in baud ? If tbe6e men who
have been so roughly h indled and
who had their jumóte* so crossly abu-
s:d, «re guilty, why tlou'l ihe proper
authorities hang them all in a row t
Why don't they put them through 7
aud give theui either their just pun-
ishment, Or if they have beeu wrong-
fully and maliciously denounced,
(which we believe is the case herf-.j
why uot give them a chance to ap-
pear before the public with a name
and a character that has been bright
ened by the lire ordeal of a court held
before a community, parity sensible
and distrustful, ana partly guided by
common Bense and humanity.
When excitement runs high as in
ihese days and fanaticism leads the
uiind, then ii is an easy thing to de-
nounce the moat solid characters, and
men with undermining dispositions
can readily conform their neighbor-
hood difficulties in public and politi-
(al affaire.
After a due examination the whole,
of the so called insurrectionary move-
ments will prove to he nothing else
thai the chimera of a few cox-
combs who in their ángu'sh saw a
scare-cn.w in the méetinga held by
Ihe citizens of this aud adjoining
counties—meetings held in a tongue
which is a mystery to them. Th*
resolntions of tnese meetings, which
can be bad in black and white, all
prove that these mentiugs were held
and conducted by patriotic mes, by
men who are sound on the "goose
question."
