01SE MOtlE UNFORTUNATE. "
Tbe following sketch from Etiinund
Kirke's popular bo k eniiiled Among
the Pines," and is desciipti?e of a scene
oceuring in South Carolina. Mr. Kirke
has attained an enviable' reputation u
an author, and has recently been enag
td in lecturing in the Middle and West
ern Staioa upon "The Social and Politi
cal Characteristics of the Southern
White?'."
Tiie family met al the breakfast tabl
at the uctial-hour; but I noticed that Jim
was not in his accustomed place behind
ihe Colonel's c hair. That gentleman ex-
hihite - d his uual rood spirit.-, but Madam
P looked t-ad and uxious. and I had
not forgotten the scene of the previwu?
evening.
While we were seated at the meal,
the negro Junius hastily entered the
room, a ud in an excited manner exclaim
td. "Oh, massa, massa, you must cum ter
de cabin. Jim htb drav'd his knife, and
he srvar he'll kill de fuss 'uri dat touch
him !"'-.
He dones, does he !" said his master,
springing from -his seat and abruptly
K'aTiiij; the apartment.
, Remembering the fierce burst of pas
icn I had seen in the negro,' and fearinj
ihere was danger afoot, I rose to follow
..... 0 . ' rv 1 - -
eaying, as I did so: ' ; .;
"Jladam, cannot you prevent this?"
ca;jiio..sir ; I have already cone
alt I can.; Go and try to pacife the Col-
otit'l Jim will die before he'll be wliip-
pl .M .
Jitn was siandin? at the lurther end of
the oM cabin, with his back to the wall,
ami the large spring knife in his hand.
Some half dozen negroes were in the
centre of the room: apparently cowed by
his fierce and desperate look, and his
master was within a few feet of him.
'I tell you, Cunnel," said the negro a?
I eatered, "you touch my at your peril."
"You d d nigger, do you dare to speak
so to me?" said his master, taking a step
toward him.
The knife rose in the air, and the
black, in a cool, sneering tone, replied :
"Say your prayers 'fore you come
nigher. for, so help me Gcd, you're a
dead man !M
I laid my hand on the Colonel's arm to
draw him back, saying, as I did so:
There's danger in him, I know it. Let
him go and he shall ask your pardon."
"I shant ax his pardon," cried the
black, "lcflf him an' me be, sir, we'll fix
dis ourselfs.'
"Don't interfere, Mr. K said
my host, pallid wuh rage. "Let me gov
ern my own plantation."
"As you say, sir," I replied, stepping
back a few paces, "but I warn you there
is danger in him !"
Taking no notice of my remark, the
Colonel, turning to the trembling negroes
aid: "Ooe of you go to ;he house and
bring my pistols."
"You tin shoot me ef you likes," said
Jim, with a fierce, grim smile, but -4 "11
lake you to h 1 wid me. shore. You
knows we wont stand a blow."
The Colonel at the allusion to their
relation.-hiu they were brothers, one
the owner of three hundred slave?, the
other a bonded menial, so poor that the
very bread he ate and clothes he wore
were another's,started as if shot, and
turuiDg furiously on the negro; yelled
out, I'll shoot yea' for that, .' you d d
higger. by
"It." pears to me, Cunnel,-you've hed
'bout nufTshootin' round har lately; bet
ter stop that sort o" bisness, it might give
ye a sore "throat," said the long, lean,
loose-jointed stump speaker of the pre
vious Sunday, as he entered the cabin
and strode up to my host. .
"What brought you here, you dr-d
insolent hound ?" cried the Colonel, turn
ing fiercely on the new-comer.
"Wal, I cum ter du ye a naberly turn
I've kolclied two er yer niggers down
to,xny still, and I want ye ter take 'em
away," returned. ; the corn cracker, with
the utmost coolness. '
'Two of my niggers !' esclaimed the

NEBRASKA, THURSDAY,
Colonel, perceptibly moderating his lone
"which ones-?" j ' P'?,'
"A yaller gal 'nod a chile." V
"I thank you. Barnes; excuse my hard
words, I was excited." ,.
"All right, Cunnel ; say no more 'bout
that. Will ye send for 'em? .I'd hev
fotched 'em 'long, tut my wag'gin's off
jest now." - . .
"Ye?, I'll send at once. Have you got
ihem safe ?"
Yes. I reckon so! kotched 'em last
night, after dark, and they've kept right
still ever sinde, I 'sure ye but the gal
holds on ter the young un ter kill we
couldn't jet it 'way no how."
How did you catch them !'
"They got 'gainst my turpentine raft
the current driv 'em down, J s'pose."
What ! are they dead ?"
"Dead ? deader'n drowned rats 1"
replied the native.
"My God ! drowned herself and child!"
exclaimed the Colonel with deep emotion
It is terrible, my friend ; let us go to
(hem at once," I said laying my hand on
his arm, and drawign him unresistingly
away.
A pair of mules were speedily harness
ed to a large turpentine wagon, and the
horses we had ridden the day before
were soon at the door. When the
Colonel, who had been closeted a few
minutes with Madam P , came out of
the house, we mounted and rode off with
the "corn cracker."
The native's farr was located on the
stream that watered my friend's planta
tion, and was about ten miles distant.
Taking a by-road which led to it through
the woods, we rode rappidly on ia ad
vance of the wagon.
- "Sort o likely gal, that, warn't the?"
remarked the turpentine . maker, after a
while.
-Yes, ihe was," replied the Colonel,
in a half al siractfd manner ; very I.kely."
"Kill harself 'caue her man war'shot
by that handsome overseer ov yournl"
'Not altogether for that. I reckon,"
replied my host; "I fear the main rea
son was her being put at field work, and
abused by the drivor." f -'
tVThai comes of not looking.,arter
i!&:g yerself, Cuntiel. I en4- & my
niggers personally, and they keer a darn
ed neht more for this' world than fur
kingdom ewm. Ye cudn't hire -'em ter
ki'l 'emrelves fur no price."
"Well." said the Colonel, in a lo.v
ton, "I did look after her; I put her al
full field work myself !'
I3y- !" cried the nntive, reining
his horse to. a full stop, and speaking in
an excited manner, "I don't b'lieve it,
'taint t all like ye yer a d d seceshen
er ; .het comes uv yer bringin up but
ye'va a soul liggerfn a meeting'-bouse,
and ye cudn't have put that slim, weakly
gal inter the woods, no how."
The Colonel and I instinctively halted
our horses, as thi corn-cracker stopped
his, and were then standing abreast of
him in the road.
"It's true, Barnes," said my host, in a
voice ihat showed deep dejection, "I did
do it !"
May God Almig'ity forgive ye, Cun
nel," said the naiive, Starting his horse
forward ; "I wouldn't hev done it for all
the niggers ye've got."
The Colonel made no reply, and we
rode on the rest of the way in silence,
until we reached the corn-cracker's
house.
"Here, Bill," said Barnes to one of
the negro men, as we pulled up al the
lurpentince distillery, "put thesb critters
up, and give 'em some oats, and when
they've tooled off a bit water 'em."
"Yas. yas,masja." replied the negio,
springing nimbly forward, and taking the
horses by the bridles, "an' rub 'em down
masa ?"
"Yas, rub 'em down right smart," re
plied ihe corn-cracker; then turning to
me as was dismounted, he said : "Strang
er, that's the sort o niggers fur yc; all
U7 mine are jest like hirn smart and
lively as kittens.".
"He does seem to go about his work
cheerfully," I replied.
"Cheerfully! d d if he don't all on
'em du ! They like me better'n thar
own young un. an' it's 'cause I use 'em
like human bein's;' and he looked slyly
toward the Colonel, who just then was
walking away in the direction of ihe run
as if in search of his drowned "chattels."
"Not thar, Cunnel," cried the native;
"they're inter the shed." and he started
to lead the way to the "spirit house.'
Not now, Barnes,' ! said, putting my
hand on his arm j leave him alone for a
little while. He feels badly, and we'd
better not disturb him just yet.'
The native motioned me to a seat up
on a rosin barrel, which I took.
Have you been here long?" I asked.
"Wal, nigh on ter six yar. I cum har

North Carolina niggers hired 'em with
the cance of buyin' cf ; they liked eout
har. Wal, the nigs, all know'd me, and
they sprung ter it like blazes, so overy
year I managed ter buy: two of .'em, and
now I've got ten growed up, and thar
young uns, ihe still and all the traps paid
fur, an' ef this secesh business hdn't a
come long, I'd hev hed a right smart
chance o' doin' well.'
I'm satiified secession will ruin the
turpentino business, you'll be shut up
here unable to sell your pjoduce, and ii
will go to waste'
Thet's my pinion; but I reckon I kin
manage now witheoul turpintine. I've
talked it over with my rigs, and we
kalkulate, ef these ar' doin's go eny furjagin th law, an I m d d ef I touched
der, ter tap no more trees, but clar land
an go ter raisin' craps."
"What! do you talk politics with your
negroes ?'
Nary a politic but I'm d d ef th'
critters don't lam 'em sumhow ; the'
knows 'bout as much uv what's goiu' on
as I du but plantin arn'l politics; Its
bizness, ad they've more intrest in ii
nor I hev, 'cause they've sixteen mouths
ter feed agin my four."
I'm glad, my friend, that you treat
them like men; but I have suyposed they
were not well enough iuformed to have
intelligent opinions oo such subjects.
.Informed ! wal, I reckon the' is; all uv
mine kin read, an sum on 'em kin write,
100. D'ye see thet Utile nig thar?'
pniniing to a juvinile coal black darky of
about six years old, whowas standing be
fore the 'still' fire ; thet ar little devil
kin read an' speak like a parson. He's
got hold, sumhow, uv my little gal's book
o' pieces, an' larned a dozen'on em. I
mke hirn cum. inter lh' house, once in a
while uv a-n evenin' an' speechify an'
'twould do year soul good to har him, in
his shart tail, wile an old sheet wound
roind him, for a toger' (I've told him
in' piay-actors du it so down to Charlos
on) an' spoutin out : "My ' name am
Norval;ende Grunting hills my father
feed him hogs !' The little coon never
seed a'sheep, au' my wife's told him a
flocks's a hera, an' he thinks 'hog' sounds
better'n "flock," so, contray-ter the'
book, he puts in 'hogs,' and hogs,' you
knows, hev ter grunt, so he gets 'em on
th 'Grumin hills;' anJ here the kind
hearted naiive burst into a fit of uproari
ous laughter, in which, in spite of my
self. I had to join.
When the merriment bad somewhat
snbsided. the turpintine maker called out
to the little darkey :
Come here, Jim.'
The young chattel ran to bim with
alacrity, and wedging in between his legs
placed his little black hands, in a free
an easy way, on his master's knees, and,
looking up trustfully in his face said :
Wal, massa !'
What's yer name ?'
Dandy Jim, Massa.'
Thet arn't all what's th' rest ?'
Dandy Jim of ole Ca'lina'
Who made you ?'
'De good God, massa.'
No, He didn't, God don't make little
nigs. He makes none but white folks,'
said the master, laughing.
'Yas He'.n do ; Missus says He'm ;
dat He make dis nig jess like He done
little Tony.'
Wal, He did, Jim, I'm d d ef He
didn't, fur nobody else cud make ye !'
replied the man. patting the liule wooly
head with undisguised affection.
Now, Jim, sap th' creed fur de gem
man.' The young darkey then repeated the
Apostle's Creed and the Ten Command
ments. Is ihe it all ye knows ?'
No massa, I. knows a heap 'sides dat.
'Wal. say suthin more sum on 'em
pieces that jingle."
The little fellow ihen repeated with
entire correctness, and with appropriate
gestures, and eaiphasis, ihough in ihe
genuine darky dialect which seems to
be inborn with the pure Southern black
Mrs. Heman's poem:
"Tbe boy ftood on the burning deek."
Mrs. Heman's draped .in black!, I
exclaimed laughing heartily.: 4How
would the good lady feel, could she look
d wn from where she is, and hear a lit
tle darky doing up her poetry in that
style?'
D d ef I doant b'lieve 'twud make
her love th little nig like I do;' replied
the corn-cracker.- taking hirn up on his
knees as tenderly as he would have taken
up his own child.
Tell me, my little mar," I said : 'who
taught you all these things ?
I learned 'era my$elf, 6ar was the
prompt reply.
You larned them yourself! but who!

taught you to read?
I larned em myself, sari'
You couldu't have learned that your
self; didn't your massa teach you?'
No, sar. ;
Oh! your missis did.'
No, sar !'
No, sar!' I repeated: then suspecting
the real state of the case, I looked him
sternly in the eyer and said: My little
man, its wrong- to tell Jus you must
always speak the truth; now, tell me
truly, did not your missus teach you these
things?'
No, sar, I larned era mysefT.'
Ye can l cum it. Stranger; ye moigbt
roast him crer'a sfow fire, un rot git nary
a thin? eout on him but thet,' said the
corn cracker, leaning forward, and break
ins into a boisterous fit of laugher. 'Its
him. Ueckon he did larn himself !'
1 musi know our wife, my friend.
She is a good woman."
Good! ye kia bei him on thet; she is
uv the stuff the Lord makes angel eout
on.
I had no doubt of it, and was about to
say so, when the Colonel's turpentine
wagon drove up, and I remembered I
had left him too long alone.
The coachman was driving, and Jim
sal on the wagon beside him.'
Massa K , said the latter, get
ting down and coming to me; 'Whar am
In the spirit-shed.'
He was turning tc go there, when I
called him back, saying : 'Jim, you must
not see your master now ; you had better
keep out of sight for the present.'
No. massa; de ma am .ay de Cunnel
take dis bery hard, and dat I orter tell
him I is sorry for what I has done.'
Well, wait awhile. Let me go in
first.'
Accompanied by the corn-cracker, T
entered the turpentine shed. A row of
spirit barrels were ranged along each of
its sides, and two tiersoccupied the cen
tre of ihe building. Oa these a number
of loose planks were placed, and on the
planks lay the bodies of ihe metif woman
and her child. The Colonel was seated
on a barrel near ihem. with his head J
resting on nis liands, and hiV eyes fixed
on the ground. II did not seem to
notice our entrance, and, passing him
without speaking; I stepped to the side
of the dead.
The woman's dress, the common linsey
woolsey gown worn by her class, was
still wet, and her short, kinky, brown
hair fell in matted folds aroundTier face.
One arm hung Icosely by her side; the
other was elapsed around her child, which
lay as if asleep on her bosom. One of
its small hands clung to iis mothers
breast, and around its little lip phyed a
smile. But how shall I describe the
pale, sweet beauty of the face cf the
drowned girl, as she lay there, her eyes
closed, and her lips parted, a in prayer ?
Never but once have I seen on human
features the sirange radiance lint shone
upon it, or the mingled expres.Mon of
hope, and peace ar.d resignation t'ft
rested there aud thm was in the lt;
gone lime, wh n, standing by her bed
side. I wa'ched the passing away of
one who is now an an5el in heaven !
Come, my dear frteud, let us go,' I
said, turning and gently taking the
Colonel by the arm, Mhe negroes are
here and take charge of the dead.'
No, no !' he replied, rising, and look
ing around, as if aroused from a troubled
dream ; 'that is for me to do !' Then he
added, after a moments pause. :Will you
help me to get them into the wagon?'
Yes, I will, certainly.'
He made one step toward the body of
the dead girl,-then sinking down again!
on ihe barrel, covered his face .with his
hands, and cried out: 'My God! this is
terrible ? Did you ever see such a face
as that? It will haunt me forever!
Come, my friend, rouse yourself thh
is weakness ; you are tired with the long
ride and excitement of the past few days.
Come, go home I will look aft r hem.'
rNo, no! I must do it. I will be a
man again;' and he rose and walked
steadily to the dead bodies. Is there
any one here to help ? he asked.
Jim was standing in the doorway, and
I motioned 4 to him to come forward.
The greai tears were streaming down
his face, as he stedped timidly towards
his master and said : I will do dis massa,
don't yu troble yuseff no more.
It's good of you. Jim. You will for
give me for oeing so cruel to you, won't
you ? said the Colonel, taking the bla'ck
by the hand.
Forgib ye, masa ! I war all to blame
but ye-11 forgib me ! cried the black,
with strong emotion. -
Yes; yes; bnt say no more about it.
Come let U3 gat Julie home.'
But the poor girl was already heme

gotjane from the house. Lifting tender

ly covered her face with his handker

WHERE THE FUNDS FOR. WAR
HAVE COME FROM
In the course of the last three years car
armies have worn out and destroyed a
thousand millions of dollars worth cf
property. Where did it come from?
At the commencement cf the war large
numbers of persons were the owners cf
personolly property, some owning horset,
cows, sheep wheat corn: others barrels
of beef and hogsheads of sugar; others,
l-.ajej of dry goods; and others tuns cf
iron and coal. The whole cf this per
conal property in the country amounted
in the agrigate to some thousand million
of dollarst anc about one eighth part of
it has been handed, over by its owners
to the officers of Government, and consu
med in military operations. This prortioa
of the wealth of the country has been de
stroyed. Two powerful causes hove operated O
enable the comuniiy to contribute without
inconvenience, this" large portion o! its
active capital to the government. .. .
One of these is the change from a cred
it to a casn.system of trade. When cur
cojnmi?iorunrchant3 sold goods on eizht
month' time, and. our jobbers gave credit
of eiffht and ten months, and a whole sea
son's stocic was brought by. the cojatry
trade at one time, and the tendency of
the system ws to cause large stock gen
erally to be held onh.tnd. A considera
ble portion of these goods belonged to
banks. The notes of the traders which .
the banks of an intarest of an intrest in t
the merchandise for which the notes
were given. When the credit system
was abandoced the stocks of merchandise
could be very largely diminished, and
thui the Government found a preat re
servoir of unemployed capital from which
to draw. The traders, having ceased
to offer netes for disco nting. Tne banks
seeing no other safe way of employing
the ir capital, envested it in Government
notes and bonds. The merchandise
whictj formerly counted ihe casitar of
tiit latAs ha3 been passed over to the
Government and consumed, and the banc
cisiial'now exists in the form of Gov
Minient notes and bonds. A great deal
of individual capital also, which was re
leased by the abandonment of the credit
sustem,ha3 been invested in the same
way.
But the funds contributed to the Gov
ernment have not come wholly from the
toc of capital on hand at waalih of tne
nation was rapidly increaseing. There
were a great many persons in tbe ccm
muunity who did not expend theTwhole
of their incomes, aud the aggregate of
these savings amounted to hundreds of
millions were made partly in the fotra of
merchandise and partly railroads, houses '
factories and oiher fixed improvements.
Since the war comenced thesa savings
have been to a considerable extent, pass
ed over to the Government in exchange
for coles and bonds.
