which aro tho nino hundred and thirty-
five bales now in court. There are threj
other claimants besides tho government
and navy. The testimony is very volu
minous, being now over four hundred
pages of foolscap paper. This cuso in
volves many new questions, and will un
doubtedly bo carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States. The fact that
the officers of tho navy engaged in tho lied
Jtiver expedition employ distinguished
rouusel from Washington to represent their
interests, shows that tho principles tv* be
lettledaro of largo importance to them.
The land forces engaged in tho snnio cam
paign may wonder on what principle it is
that a man on a gunboat is entitled to the
proceeds of cotlon captured, whilo they
who have captured large amounts of not
only private robel property, but property
of the rebel government, receive no pri/.o-
nioney. It is certainly one of tho incon
sistencies which the rebolii.m has brought
into prominent notice. ,
Negroes In Georgia*
At a meeting of merchants hold iri Bos
ton on Wodnoaday, Mr. Win. King, who
owns a plantation in tho northern part of*
Georgia, made some interesting remarks
in relation to tho negroes in that State, of
which tho following wro extracts:
"Tho cultivation of cotton required a
continuous labor of Lwolvo months and
rice of nine months. A single month of
neglect, particularly in August, will de
stroy the cottou crop, and so of rice in
September. IIow to sccuro that certainty
of labor was his main object now. No
man would plant who could not (to sure
of laborers all the year. Tho newspapers
vary in thoir accounts ot tho negro and
his condition, the opposite sides being ex
aggerated, arul neither being strictly true.
One paper speaks in tho highest terms of
the negro and thoir ccndition; anothor
the opposite; both aro prejudiced. Many
negroes were receiving rations, and ex
pected them to continue. Tho negroes
needed kind counsel and control, and they
were a raco particularly open to tho influ
ence of kindness. Whenever tho head of
a plantation left, tho negroes had loft or
been driven off, and tho result whs the
dea h of many. His plantation had boon
protected by Gen. Shormnn, and his 220
negroes remained, and of those but five
died up to July 1. But of the negroes
who wero scattered a few examples would
ihow thoir condition. Tho following were
tiie statistics of seven plantations near his
own: On one of 102 negroes, 34 bud died
up to January T; one of BO lost‘20; one of
Ifc lost 24; ono of 330, only a mile from
his own place, lost 152 by dentils; one of
447 loot 02; ono of 81 lout 27; one of 280
lost 78. There must bo some change, tho
negroes are dying out so fast. The sys.
tern hitherto tried is a failure. On ono
plantation, a Northern superintendent, a
Methodist ministor, had not beqn among
hit negroes but two or three times in a
whole season, and theV were reduced to a
deplorable condition by his neglect. Air.
King would have somo system by which
Northern men would bo induced to go
there, and employ negroes in families, on
•mall plantations, h hundred acres and u
few negro families to each estate. The no-
grooi would work earnestly and’faithfully
under faithful, fathorly and kindly cure.
A Northern man could obtain n profit of
ux or seven hundred dollars on each la
borer. In answer to a question, Mr. King
•aid he had thought perhaps tho condition
°J l “e negro in Savannah was worse than
wiewhere, because they flocked largely to
Jr® City, and there was no work for them.
Ihey were gregarious, and they loved
other’s socioty. Thoir idea was to
Tk *k en pleased, preferring odd
JOos to permanent employment. Crops

Anecdotes of Gems,
Pliny tells of the misfortune of Nonius,
who was pioscribed by Mark Anthony for
tho sake of his famous opal, but who,
.sooner than surrender his treasure,valuod
at £20,000 of our monrfy, went into vol
untary exile. Tho story told by the same
writer of Cleopatra’s wagor with the tri
umvir, that she would spend upon a sin
gle dinner a.sum equivalent to £1,000,-
000, is better known. The Queen was ac
customed to wear in her ears two pearls,
and whon her lover ridiculed the banquet
that had been prepared, as too extensive,
she threw ono of these into a vo-sol of tho
strongest vinegar, dissolved it and drank
it off. The other was to have foliowod,
but the umpire, by declaring that Antho
ny bad already lost the wager, preserved
it; and afterward, on tho conquest of
Egypt, it was suwod in two, to mako pon-
dants in the ears of Venus in tho Panthe
on. Air. King reproduces this story to
( discredit it, and assures us no acid the
1 stomach can endure is capable of dissolv
ing entirely a pearl,even after long mace
ration. The wily Queen, he surmises,
swallowed the pearl in some more agreea
ble potation than vinegar, and, in order
to gain her wag.ir, invented the fiction of
in dissolution, secure of its ultimate re
covery. But there wa9 another pearl of
unrivaled magnitude, to which a more
romantic talc attaches. This was the gem
obtained by a diver at tho price of his
life, for tho Sassanian King, Poroxes. So
pri/.od w as ii by the monarch that it. occu
pied his thoughts even in death. In the
supreme moment of his fate, when about
to perish in the pitfall into which he bad
been entrapped by the leigned retreat of
tho enemy, lie plucked from bis right ear
this glory of Ids rc-gn and hurled it be
fore him into tho abyss, deriving comfort
even then from having cheated the foe of
what would have been considered the
most glorious trophy of their victory. In
later times, when the diamond had sup
planted the pearl in public estimation, wo
have tho story of that known as tho San-
cy, the history of wMiich, generally con
founded with that of Charles the Bold, is
hero correctly given. This famous stono
was once s«*nl by its owner, Signor de
Sancy, to Henry the IV, who wanted to
raise? a loan on it. Tho servant to whom
its transmission was entrusted was beset
by robbers ami murdered. His mastor t
however,recovered the corpse, an4 count
ing upon the expedients of his faithful
envoy, opened it, un i had tho satisfaction
discovering therein his lost treasure.
Boniin&rto may he said to have founded
fortunes upon a diamond, for, after
the 18th Brumaire, it was by pledging tho
celebrated “regent" he procured tho
funds indisponsable for the consolidation
of bis power. Tho fimlor of this stono,
slave, is said to have concealed it in
gash made for its reception in tho calf of
his leg, and then to have escaped to Ma
dia®. Here ho fell in with an Knglis'
skippor, who, by the promiso oF finding

him on board tin? ship, and thero disposed

WITII A WHITE MAN.
From the Bueyrus (Ohio) Foruiu.
On Friday of last week, a largo and
portly gent lorn an of African descent,
named Silas Bryant, visited our town, tic
companied by a white man, who, from
appearance, we took for a police officer
from somo city. It lurnod out that the
white man was a detective from Nashville,
and the negro a resident of tho same place.
The objoet of their visit was to discover
the abolitionist who has stolen tho wife of
tiie sooty gentleman. They had tracked
the pair, by hard work, to this county,
and on Friday morning the detective,
whon strolling about town, unexpectedly
came across one Jacob B. Holler, a resi
dent of Liberty township, in this county,
and who had recently returned from the
army. Heller, it seems, was accompanied
by a portly, voluptuous looking female,
of mher dark complexion, whom tho
detective at once dbcovored to be tho wife
of Bryant—tho colored gentleman accom
panying him. They were about buying
furniture to go to housekeeping. It seems
that when llellor returned, accompanied
by his dusky boi.uty, ho represented her
as a “persecuted Union gouthorn lady" of
great refinement, whom ho had married.
Of course, the “loyal’' in tho neighbor
hood went into ecstacies over the hero
Holler and his Southern bride. They
wont into tho best society, parties were
given them, they attendou church, and
everything went “merry as a marriage
boll.” But, us the old adage has it, “mur
der will out,” and tho visit of tho colored
gentleman from Nashville—who, by the
way, is as black as tho ace of spade*—cast
n dark cloud over the hopes of Mr.
Heller.
It scorns that Tabitha Jane, tho name
of the woman, left her husband and three
little pickaninhies at Nashville, with the
avowed intention of visiting somo friends
in Memphis; but, instead, sue eloped with
Holler and came to Crawford county. But
up >n 6ceiug tier colored husband, Tabitha
Juno’s old love for him returned, and hor
lieu; L yem no l for her chiloron. Sbo con
cluded to return with him to tho homo
she had made so desolate; she, therefore
forsook her white paramour, and started
back on Saturday morning with her lawful
husband to Nashvillo, leaving Heller to
hang himself, or hunt anothor wench, or
go somewhere and learn to ho a better
mnn.
Before leaving, Bryant entered a suit
against Heller, in the Court of Common
Fleas ot Crawford county, for seducing
his wife, claiming damages to tho amount
of ton thousand dollars.

A Republican Senator’s Views.
Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, thus
defines his position on negro suffrago:
As negro suffrage in the Southern States
being made a condition precedent to tho
admission of their representatives in Con
gress, I shall maintain:
1st. That the policy of Mr. Lincoln and
Mr. Johnson, of leaving that to bo deter
mined by those States for thomselvos, is
the only just and wise policy.
2J. That it is in accordance with the let
ter and spirit of the Constitution.
fid. That it is almost inconceivable that
any Fedoral administration should at
tempt to enforoo universal nogro suffrage
in States whore, for two hundred years,
the negroes have been dograded by sluvery,
when, at the same time, nearly two-thirds
of the free Slates deny suffrage to porsons
of tho same race, who have boon educated
ns freemon, among freemen, with thoughts,
habits and responsibilities of freemon.
4lh. That such a party would Inevitably
throw the Union party out of powor in
New York, Psnnsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin, as well as in all
the border States; givo the next Congress
and President to tneir opponent; defeat,
in all probability, the adoption of the
amendmont of the Constitution of the
United Slates, which they have evory-
whore opposod, and by which alonejib-
orly to the blackmail, and protection to
him in its enjoyment, is made sure; which
would leave tho Statos witli full power to
re-establish slavery, poonago, or any other
system of involuntary servitude, and thus
sacrifice the most important of all the
fruits of this terrible struggle; at tho same
time it would, in ail human probability,
produce a war of races.
This is but ono more instance, so often
repeated in history, in which tho most sa
cred causo is placed in greater poril by the
misguided zoal and fanaticism of its pro
fessed friends than by tho opon hostility
o r its avowod enemies.
Some of tho foremost in denouncing
Mr. Johnson's policy intond to mako un
compromising war upon his Administra
tion, in order to build up a now party for
the next Presidential contest. Very re
spectfully, J. K. Doomtti.k.
Suggs iu AUbam’.
iWrltton for the New York Clipper.)
We remouiber in the published life of
Suggs—the astute, and always right-side-
up Pinion—that once being turned out of
the paternal domicile, for lorn and some
what abort of shiners, but indomitable in
spirit, ho gavs vent to liia contempt of
hostile circumstances, and expressed his
hopes of tho future by tho universal threat
of “Now some un got to suffer,”
From the specimens of keon willed prac.
tise, in “cotton operations,” which occa.
sionally aro wnftod tS our oars from the
flowery region of Oottondom, in the inte
rior, We aro led to believe that our old
friend Simon forms ono of tho vorluous
and enterprising band of operators, and
Hint many of tho brilliant schemes and do
ings in the staple, gloam with tho scintil
lations of aSuggs' genius. Tho following
is ono of the lust from the country :
“Lmst week, a countryman, (to all ap
pearance) entered a cotton buyer's store in
Selma, to make sale of thirty bales of cot
ton. Soedy, his bat, dirty and holoy, his
clothes and shoes, visibly corroborating
his stntomcnt of tho cotton being his last
of all his proporty, which he wisliod to gel
full market price for. With somo beg
ging our countryman concludes his trade,
dolivors tho cotton, pockets Ilia greenbacks
after somo scratching his bond, as to
whether he had better not liavo traded
lor gold, and modesty intimates his will-
ingnoss to take something in honor of tho
trade closed. Ho is accommodated—
smacks his lipsover tho Bourbon—remark
ing that it is an nli-fired long whilo since
lie has tasted sicb, and leaves. Let us fol
low our destitute countryman—Suggs, it
must bo thee—straight hios to tho barber,
and tho knight of the brush soon romovos
tho hirsute from his chin, outs and
“slick” in the latest Rtylo bis whiskers a la
tootle, A furtive grin of satisfaction lights
up the countennneo of our country friend
as he views his changed appearance in the
glass, ne might almost doubt his pnrson-
al identity. From tho b irher's our friend
visits, and successively invests in clothing,
boots, hat, &c.
It would be difficult at an hour of the
afternoon, were you standing in front of
tho cottou buyer's, to identify tho gentle
man moving this way on that lino horse as
our country friend of the morning. But
it is.he, ana alighting, he strolls into tho
storo to seo if he can get a chance in cot
ton.. The merchant of the morning shows
his samples, and in answer to the ques
tion whero the cotton is stored, shows him
the SO bales in the back storo. No sooner
does our friend's eyo boliold tho mark of
one of the balos than he declares his be
lief that his neighbor Hodge’s lot of 14
bales, lately stolen, is among the lot, and
that he therefore cannot buy. The mer
chant, from him getting the same particu
lars about tho cotton as our melamorphisod
friend had furnished him in the morning,
is foarful of the truth of the statement,ami
desires to reward his expected faithful so-
crocy with $250, which are finally ac
cepted
Not in tho weli-drassedgont. with much
fob-chain, as ho carelessly stuffs tho 250
into his pockets, and lounges out to his
borso, does the chagrined merchant recog
nize tbo close and dirty country visitor of
tho morning. But again after our coun
tryman. Passing up the street upon a
corner, whip in hand, among his rustic
cliummies ho espies his friend Hodge.
Accosting him, as soon as they touch on
tho cotton subject, doos Hodge bewail his
loss of 14 bales. Apparently in a reflect
ive mood, Buggs suddenly brightens up
with an exclamation of a believed knowl
edge of tho location of tho cotton, “prob-
bly already sold by some cussed moan
thief.” But such knowlod|?o is valuablo,
nor doos tiie wary Suggs impart the do-
sirod information until he lias a written
agreement for tho delivery of seven bales
to him for compensation of information
if tho said cotton should bo Hodge's. In.
formed of tho location, Hodge makes for
tbo cotton, proves his properly, threatens
the merchant, and receiving tho value
from the onco already swindled cotton
buyer, returns, and settles up with Suggs.
Then, they—enteringnsaloon nearby-
smile, Suggs, with his hands in his pock
ets, all over. Dou<ii.aa
