John B. Cole, one of tlie officers of the guard, rode up to me with a pine box, which may have held $2000 or $3000 in gold, on the pommel of his satklle. He had re in a,ned after the others had left and ferreting about in a car which we thought tve had thoroughly searched, had discovered this box stuck in a corner and closely covered up with a piece of sacking. On the next day Uenerui Breckinridge di rected me to increase the guard to 200 men and take charge of it in person. I sug gested that Instead of composing it en tirely of men from my brigade it should be constituted of details from all live. 1 thought this the best plan to allay any little feeling of jealousy that might' arise, and insure a more perfect vigilance, as 1 felt persuaded thnt these details would all carefully watch each other. My sugges tion was adopted. Nearly the entire guard was kept constantly on duty, day and night, and a majority of thc whole escort was generally about the wagons at every halt, closely inspecting the guard. At the Savannah river Mr. Davis ordered that the silver coin, amounting to one huu- j j - d dollars, ,, . . discharge the arrears of pay due them. The quarter- state. and ho lives In the region described in Charles Egbert Craddock's novels There are 16,000 square miles of territory in his district. It comprises twenty comi ties, and it has one of the most curious populations in the world. I talked to-day with Mr. Taulbee about it. Said he: “The district is very well described by Charles Egbert Craddock, and the dialect is very much like that she puts in her stories though I have never seen tiie language in print before. The population is the pro duct of the frontiersmen of several states. The first settlements in Kentucky were along the Ohio river and in the valleys of the Kentucky rivers. As the country became more settled civilization • drove such of those of the early settlers who liked hunting and frontier life up ward into the mountains. It was the same with Virginia and Tennessee. These huntsmen and frontiersmen married and intermarried, and they have now become a separate people like unto no other in the world. They have been away from the civilization of the railroad, the telegraph and the daily newspaper, and they liave grown into a language and customs of their own. They aro a very patriotic people, and during the late war, if you will look at the records in the war department, you will find that my congressional district furnished five union regiments. They are very simple in their tastes, and it does not take much in my country to make a man wealthy. If he lias $2600 lie is considered well to do. If he has $10,000 he is rich.” “Tell me how the people live.” “There are very few towns, about two only to the county; and these will average about 300 inhabitants each. “The ordinary house is a log one, con sisting of two rooms, with boards shaved smooth with a draw knife, or split, nailed over the cracks between the logs. One of the rooms is used for a sleeping room, the other is the living room, dining room, kitchen and parlor all in one, in which the family stay during the day time. There is but one sleeping room for a whole family, and when they have, guests visiting them these turn In and sleep in the same room. There are a number of beds used, and a stranger always gets the best bed. They are very modest with it all. They turn their backs as if they are np, while the others of the family are undressing, or if they are in bed they will cover up their heads until you have completed your nightly toilet. It is tlie custom, you know, and I think our people are noted for their large proportion of virtuous women. Vir tue is as much respected in the mountains as anywhere else in thc world, and though these women and men will undress to gether and sleep in the same room, they will be horrified at the exhibition ofdeqpl- lette dresses seen at one of your receptions here, and would run away with shame from an exhibition of the modern ballet. These mountaineers are very hospitable. They entertain you and give you the best they have, and if you offer to pay they will refuse and say, they -do not make their money that way. The little money they do make comes from farming. They do not often grow wealthy and they seem to be very well satisfied with their life. You have heard of the feuds of these mountaineers. I have near ly a half score of murder cases to defend in one county on account of them. I Know a place where two families have been fighting each other for a generation, and where the different families of the two tribes never go out to work except in squads, and always carry Winchester rifles with them.” “Is the country improving?” “Well, yes, somewhat, but civilization -comes slowly in the mountains. We have not the best facilities for education, and though the people want their children ed ucated .they use native teachers, and they do not push matters like you do in the north. This district is made up of both re publicans and democrats, and the last rep resentative was republican. The people are interested in politics, and the cam paigning has to be done almost altogether by public speakers.” DAVID DAVIS’ WILL. The Second Wife Deprived of Iloser by an Ante- X initial Agreement. A Bloomington, 111., special says: The will of the late David Davis was ottered for probate to-day and sent to Washington for verinfcation of the signatures. It was made March 8th, 1883, just prior to Mr. Davis’ second marriage. It is very vol uminous and full of details. The execu tors are Mr. Davis’ only son, Geo. Perrin Davis; his son-in-law, Henry S. Swayne, { the and the Hon. Clifton H. Moore, of Clinton, i alK t then out to sea and down 111., a friend of forty years’ standing. The | the coast to the inlet to Key Biscayue bay. estate is valued at about $1,000,000, chiefly Thence there was an inside route with dred and eight or ten thousand dollars, be f paid to the troops in partial discharge of | the arrears of pay due them. The quarter masters of tlie several brigades were en gaged during the entire night in counting MANNING BUILDING UP. SiH-n-liry Whitney Hellpin lie Will Heiunte HU Hut lei III the 1*11. Washington, August 6.—Secretary j Whitney thinks that Mr. Manning will come back to the cabinet in the fall. When ] he was in Albany last he saw Mr. Manning - nnd had a talk with him. Mr. Mainline j said: “Take a good look and tell me wli t | you think of me." Mr. Whitney said, i “You are looking first-rate. Your mind is I ns elear as it ever was. Yon are almost re covered physically.” Mr. Manning then asked him what he thought about his going back. Mr. Whit ney said: “You would be very foolish to go back if ill so dhing you should e ndanger j’our health. If you should go back now of course you would break down again, but 1 would go off and not think anything about the matter at all. I would dismiss it en tirely from iny mind, ami then decide the matter in the fall, and let that decision bo in accordance with your own feelings. You cannot hope to strengthen the reputation which you have already made at tlie head of t he treasury. You should bear this in mind when you talk about coming back.” Mr. Manning said lie did not intend to give the subject any special consideration at thc present time, but would take it up and pass on it next tall. The impression is, however, that he is improving so rapidly that lie will feel very much like coming Savannah 787, Charleston SOI wilmlngron loo, Norfdk 512, Baltimore ss. New York 61.

The sight of so much money seemed to banish sleep. My brigade received $32 per capita, officers and men sharing alike. General Breckin ridge wus paid that sum and, for the pur pose. was borne on the roll of the brigade. On the next day, at Washington, I turned over the residue of the treasure to Mr. M. II. Olarko, acting treasurer of the confed erate states, and experienced a feeling of great relief. CARRYING THE MAIL TO CUBA. A Contrast Between tho Present Servin' of Many Years Ago. Capt. Coiemau, achr. Weymouth, plying between Atlantic City andiN. Y., had been troubled jvith a cough so that he was un able to sleep, and was induced to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. It not only gave him instant relief, but al layed the extreme soreness in his breast. His children were similarly affected and a single dose had tlie same happy effect. Dr. King’s New Discovery is now the standard remedy in the Coleman household and on board the schooner. Free Trial Bottles of this Standard Rem edy at Brannon & Carson’s Drug Store. eod&w A fast mail service between the United States and Cuba was begun a iew days ago. Mail from New York city is whirled to Jacksonville, Florida, and accross the state to Tampu by rail, where it is taken on board an iron steamship and carried direct to Havana. This service contrasts in a striking way with that which was the sole dependence not many years ago. Men are still living in St. Augustine who received the mails for Havana, in that ancient town and carried thorn in dugout canoes down the eastern Florida coast, to the Keys, be.tween the Kefs and the mum land to Key West, and across the sixty mile reach of open water lUCKIiKX’S AltXUA SALVE.

Slate bonds dull, years ago, andiprobably is there still, used to spin exciting yarns of the experience of these ventursome mail carriers. Their canoes were eighteen or twenty feet long and as wide as could be hewn from a good sized cypress log. They were sharp at both ends, and were steered with a paddle held under the skipper’s arm and pressed against a stern post. A mast, to which was laced a spritsail, was stepped in the forward thwart. There were two men in the crew, and they were provided with blankets, a few cooking utensils, a supply of provisions, and a keg of water. If the weather was fairly favorable they took on board the mail bags at St. Augustine, to which town they had come by schooner from northern ports, went boldly out over the St. Augustine bar and turned the prows of their rude craft southward a little way outside the breakers. They cruised down to Mosquito Inlet, opposite New Smyrna. If in the course of the run the wind blew, too fresh from an easterly direction, they turned the boat’s nose to ward the beach, rode through the surf on one of the rollers, sprang out and hauled the canoe up the beach and away from the reach of the sea. When the sea subsided—some times not until after many days of waiting in camp among the sand dunes—the boat was launched through the surf, and the tations: United States mails resumed their south ward journey. - At Mosquito Inlet in rough weather the inside passage was taken, thus avoiding the dangerous bit of sailing around the point of Cape Canaveral. The route was down the Hillsborough river, be tween Mangrove islands, to Mosquito Lagoon, across a neck of land into either the Banana river or Indian River la- : goon, down the river and through narrows to Jupiter Inlet oney dull. cents 8 C con Brown 108 Tenn. settlem’t 3s 80% Virginia 6s 47 Virginia consols... 55 Chesap’ke & Ohio 9% Chicago & N.
