MISCELLANY.
LOST AND FOUND.
EY FRANCIS DE HAES JANVIER.
I had a little blue—eyed boy,
With shining golden hair,
NVliich circled his seraphic brow,
And seemed a halo there.
I lavished on him all the love
My fondness could impart;
And, tenderly, he twined himself
About my inmost heart
And I believed him wholly mine—-
But, for a season, given,
He was a little captive here,
To be restored to Heaven.
And, when (|pd took him home again,
I gave myself to grief;
And crushed—in voiceless agony—
My soul refused relief.
But, in the exercise of faith,
I traced his Heavenward flight;
I see my little nursling soar
On pinions pure and whiie !
There, nestling ’mid immortal bowers,
His voice floats free and clear;
Aud shall I wish to call him back,
To be a captive here.
The Marksvillo (Avoyelles Faris’li) Central
Organ of the 15th inst. brings us the particulars
of a desperate affray between Judge Cullom and
two young men, nephew and son of IV. B. Lewis,
Esq. The following is condenced from the rather
lengthy account published by the Organ ;
Monday morning, after the adjournment of the
District Court, Judge E. N. Cullom came down
into the Court-house yard, and advancing close-
ly up to W. B. Lewis, E.«q., said :

Alter a very few words, in which Mr. L. gave
no satisfactory reply, the Judge gave him a tre-
mendous 6lap in the face with his open hand.—
A little scufllie eusued, but nothing important
was doue by either party. On Wednesday
inornint, 12th Messrs Edward T. Lewis,
son of W. B. Lewis, and John C. Lewis, a nephew,
rode into town at an early hour. The Judge
saw them ride in, and immediately diviued the
object of their visit.
At the usual hour Court was called, and busi-
ness went on as usual. There being but little
before It, it Was adjourned at about 11 o'clock,
and the Judge came down. He armed himself,
and paraded the street*, ator.e time meeting the
Messrs. Lewis on Mvks street, where he stood
for-some minutes at a distance of about sixty
feet from them.
’i he parties met frequently during the day, but
no attack was attempted by either, the judge
acting on the defensive, and the Messrs. Lewis
seemingly undetermined. At one time Mr. E.
T. Lewis stepped behind a tree near where the
Judge w as sitting, and made a motion as if about
to draw a pistol, but he immediately left, with-
out drawing a weapon. Soon after Mr. Lewis re-
Mirned, the Judge meantime having risen Irom
his seat near the sidewalk, drew his pistol, and
beckoned to Judge C. to walk further up the
sidewalk.
To this the Judge replied that ho was acting
on the defensive, and that his position suited
him very well. Mr. Lewis remarked that a
couple of horses were in tho wav, and that if the
Judge would not go from behind them he was
a coward. Tho Judge said there was a space
between the horses of about eight feet, and that
Mr. L. was a d—d liar and a coward.
Here the Judge exhausted tho catalogue of
epithets against Mr. Lewis, while some one led
t e horses away. The field for yards around
being perfectly dear, the Judge called upon the
crowd to notice particularly that ho was acting
in defense of himself, and to notice, also, that
Mr. Lewis tired the first shot. They were stand-
ing about eighteen yards apart. Mr. Lewis
raised Ins pistol very deliberately, took aim and
fired. The Judge standing with a lull breast to
him, with coat and vest thrown wide open, re-
turned his shot. They fired alternately, until
Mr. Lewis had exhausted his seventh shot. Mr.
L’s pistol snapped once, and Judge Cullom’s
twice.
After the Judge had fired ten pistol shots,
some one handed him a walking cane, which
proved to be a small shot-gun. He raised it and
fired at Mr. L. At this instant John C. Lewis
fired at the Judge deliberately, and retreated off
in the direction of his retiring companion, who
hands. She will demand to know whether the
Norti ern and Western people in general will or
will not resolve that this Satanic crusade against
the peace, the safety, the very lives of her citi-
zens, ttieir wives, mothers and children, the very
Lares and Penates of their hearth-stones, shall
cease. The language of the traitors among them
ha# for years breathed only the most iinpiacab.e
hatred, fire-brands arrows and death, and now
they push their murderous purposes to the very i nasties into the army,
verge of execution; they attempt with dagger
and knife, scaling ladder and fire, to reduce their
ferocious objurations to practice, to make tho
Uuiou a grand funeral pyre, and offer its holiest
interests up io satiate this Moloch of hell, the
lives of millions of people a holocaust to the arch-
fiend. They would extort a wall that should
resound from ocean to occean, and send up
deat’nmists from ten thousand hills and valleys
that should make the very heavens red! They
have given us proofs. They no longer talk mere-
ly. They no longer insult the memory of the
greatest and best that the earth has contained,
and.traduce^ the living in words of shame ana
obloquy only: but with hearts full of wrath, ha-
tred and murder, without natural affection, apos-
tates, contemning alike the laws of God and man,
they attempt to carry out the thoughts and in- . _
tents of their depraved, abandoned souls they “°°r *n<* “^r"
attempt to bury their hands in tho heart's blood
of men, women and children, and make their
homes utter desolation.
We say again that it is time we should know
what Northern and Western men, who acknow-
ledge the obligations of law, divine as well as
human, who, have respect for common civiliaa-
tion, the ordinary ties of humanity, who wish to
live in peace, who intend to regard the Consti-
tution as som-thing better than so much ground
up rags, design doing in view of this attempt at
insurrection in Virginia. The questiou is with

Important Legal Decision.—The New York
Evening Post gives the following report of an
important decision against a Railroad Company :
The Court of Appeals of Virginia, has unani-
mously affirmed the judgment of the Court of
Stannton, in the case of Sanger vs. the Central
Railroad Company. At the November Term,
1856, of tho Circuit Court of Augusta, Jrcob
Sanger received a verdict of $6,000 damages for
injuries received, by the plantiff while a passen-

were thrown off the track by a large stone left
lying near the mils by the carelessness of some
hands in the employmentof the contractors who
were “ballasting” the road, and the plantiff had
his leg broken At the trial, the Company con-
tended that they were not responsible for the
acts of the hands in the employment of their
contractors. The Judge—Thompson—held that
they were, aDd on this the case went up.

Sem* time ago a statement was published ia
the North American, taken from the Newport
Gazette, ferry -oumy, Pennsylvania, to theef-
lect iliittu Mr. Black, of Newport, had died in
confteqlieqce of an Incision made by a rooster
with his -qiura, in the arteries of the hand, imi-
tating previous to his death, the fl* ppi„g and
crowinjj f* a rooster. Th® Harrisburg Patriot
is informed by a gentleman irom Newport, who
was present at Mr. Black’s death, that the ac-
count published in the Gasette of that place ia
strictly tree, that Mr Black suffered the most
excruciating agony, and that he made attempta
to crow, flapping his arms, and making a nois®
similar to,a rooster, that those outside the house
were persuaded to believe that it waa one until
he waa relieved by death.
