AN HONEsT rOSTMASTEE —A WOULD-BE DE CEIVER OF A “SOILED CHOW” TB1CEED A CASE OF VOUDOUISM—A SHOTS C0 B- BESPONDENT’S TALE. Mebiwetheb Co., Ga., Aug. 30, '73. To the Editobs of the Hebald: Some time in the latter part of Maya letter containing a remittance was mailed to Boot A Cody of Atlanta, instead of being addressed to B. A C. of Chicago. Not hearing from the letter, the postmaaler in Atlanta was ad dressed in reference to it The postmaster replied that the letter must have been for warded to the Dead Better office. About two weeks since, the missing letter arrived in a “return” form with the former amount of money enclosed. Such honesty is wlgit we need; is rare and should be commended. In the county of Talbot, three or four days since, a slight disturbance took place be tween some of Cbas. Summers A Co.’s pro teges. The cause was that some months ago one Sumnel Bryan, the would-be deoeieer of a Colnmbns “soiled dove,” was “triced,” by the uncle, Harwell Smith, of the “doeky Helen.” The circumstance has eaused the greatest excitement. The news of the victim’s tits have spread far and wide, and crowds of fifties and hundreds are seen any Sabbath going to take a look at the wonder. The potion seems to hare been “striped scorpion heads, tails of long lizzards and heads of pison adders. All these are dried, pulverized and put in wlnaky. This was then pnt in a holiow stomp and allowed to stand for nine days.” Tree butting, snorting, wallowing and rolling are the favorite sports of the tricked son of Africa. A Voudou Doctor was called in. He prononneed it a case of the “wust of pison.” A private room was given him, a fire built, and “biled steel," with a few whispered words and lunatic gestures, followed. The snfferer soon became better. The conjurer was sent for on the following day. The doctor collared the trickster as soon as he arrived, and endeavored to make the dread of the neighborhood disgorge the whole thing—what means he had used, Ac. The information gained, the doctor and oth ers told him to “run for life’’—a needless in junction if the demonstrations he represents as having been made are true. The old con jurer, in running throngh briers, scratched the blood from bis neck, whereupon he fled to a magistrate and had the belligerents arrested. The trial will take place 1st September.

The arrival in this country of the Russian Meoonites has created quite an excitement among the officers of those railroad companies that have lands to sell in the far West This immigration is a most remarkable one, no set of men ever having arrived here before so well supplied with foods as these Russians. Hence their movements are destined to affect to a considerable extent the territory which they may select to settle in. The richest man among those who arrived by the Bteamer Hammonia, from Hamburg, on Friday Ust, is a Mr. Peter Isaack, who brings his wife and four children. This gentleman brought with him $140,000 in gold, and was the only one who came in the first cabin. Another gentle man had with him $67,000 in gold, while all the rest brought from $4,000 to $25,000, each each family averaging about $10,000. As there were some twenty families in the steer age this wonld make an aggregate of $200,000, which, with the money of Mr Isaack, would give a total of $340,000 brought by twenty families. The result of so rich an immigra tion can hardly be overestimated. Another fact is worthy of note—the large families of these Menonites. One family con sists of twelve, one of eleven, one of nine, two of eight, one of seven, three of six, one of five, three ef four, five of three, and five unmarried persons—making a total of aixty- niue children and forty-one adults. Their destination is some point in I^kota, although many, influenced by the representations of Tom Scott himself and his European agents, will settle on the line of the Texas Pacific railroad. Tom Scott, now in Europe nego tiating the bonds of the Texas Pacific, has not had, however, sock a success with the R issians as he anticipated, most of them being unwilling to listen to the glowing rep resentations made to them by all sorts of railroad agents, very sensibly preferring to examine for themselves the lands they are to settle and to study the country they are to inhabit They are a quiet, moral, in offensive people, self-denying and economi cal, and although they do not bring with them much in the way of talent or education—in fact, none of the latter—they will, by their united action, make whatever points they colonize thrifty, and rapidly boilf < up the country around them. It will be some time before our people will gain their entire confidence, as they are conversant with the principal traita of American character, and, indeed, somewhat overestimate Yankee sea men. Before leaving Hamburg they were warned not to give any information as to their movements to any one, and even the dread of Russian spies hAS been held out to the simple people to keep them quiet. The result is that sheep-like they wander about in flocks, and follow only the beck of their trusted leaders. A fellow-passenger on the Hamburg states that the Russians were qaite exclusive, and even proud to others on the voyage, well un derstanding the value of their money, which they bod great fear of being stolen from them at this port. On Thursday of this week another Ham burg steamer will arrive, when the second in stallment of Menonites will reach here. Xendaskeag, Maine, is very much excited over a mysterious, well dressed, gentlemanly looking stranger who inhabits the woods in the vicinity of that town and never appears upon the road. He is occasionally visited by a man as strange as himself, who brings him food and changes of clothing. Can it be Steiner at last ? WASHINGTON. The Geneva Award not Paid — Counterfeit $500 Legal Tender Notes. Washington, September 2, 1873. A report prevails that the Geneva award, fifteen million and a half of dollars has already been paid into the Treasury, but oa enquiry, it has been ascer tained that preliminary arrangements only have been made for this purpose. It will be^remembered that on June 6th, the Secretary of the Treasury issued a call for the redemption of certain series of 6:20 Bonds, more than covering the amount of the award in anticipation of ita payment, and the British Govern ment arranged with the Syndicate to dismiss this treaty obligation. In pursuance of the plan adopted, a large amount of these bonds have already been surrendered to the Treasury, and the government certificates is sued therefor, to be mado available on and after the 6th of September, at the time of the formal redemp tion of the bonds. These government certificates, it is understood, are in the hands of the British Consul at New York, but are to be delivered, together with other like representations of specie value covering the entire award, by the British Minister to the Secretary of 8tats, and by him transferred to the Treasury as so much cash. The following is a description of the difference be- tween the genuine and the counterfeit $500 legal ten der note of the issue of 1869: The upright that holds the balance of the scales held in the hand ot the fe male figure shows a white iine, In the counterfeit, over the lower part of the palm of the hand to the second figure. In the genuine the upright is quite black and lost in the shadow in the lower part of the right in the portrait. The lappel of the coat on the por trait of Adams, in the counterfeit, forms an.angle.in the genuine is a distinctly curved line; also the buttons in the counterfeit are irregular in shape, while in the genuine they are decidedly round and darker in the collar. Particular attention is called to the button on the left aide of the coat on the counterfeit. In the word Washington,” in the counterfeit note the black shade forming the first stroke of the letter W forms an angle at the bottom, and in the genuine note it formas curve in the ruled shading under the band stroke of the letter W; over the letters A and 8 are tour ruled lines on the counterfeit while there are bnt three in the genuine note. Under the letters A and 8 in the wora Washington in the counterfeit, there are five ruled lines in the genuine. There are bnt four under the letter H same word there are four ruled hues in the counterfeit, in the genuine there are but three. At the bottom of tbe letter F in the denomination title there are five ruled lines in the counterfeit while in the genuine there is six lines. The localized fibre on the left of the portrait is blue in the genuine, but without color in the counterfeit: the red seal in the genuine is printed in a delicate carmine color, but in the counterfeit it is more of a brick color and has a heavy appearance, more especially the rays which form the outside of the seal. Attention is called to the blurred and acratcby appearance of the letter work and lettering on the back of the counterfeit, which, upon a compar ison with the genuine, will readily be perceived. Laat month the treasury disbursement amounted to twenty millions two hundred and thirty-three thou sand dollars. The President will not return here this week. Sev eral members of tbe Cabinet have called on him at Long Branch, and consulted with him on whatever needed the President’s attention, aad consequently no actual necessity exists for his presence in Wash- ngton at this time. Mr. Richardson left last night for Long Branch; Messrs. Belknap and Williams return here to-night, and Robeson is expected to during tbe week. Judge Robinson, Acting Solicitor of tho Treasury, to bom was referred the report of tbe Board of Inves tigation concerning the Wawasset disaster, will to morrow forward the United States District Attorney his instructions how to proceed in the prosecution of those who sre charged with violating the law. It is believed he will be requested to push the prosecution to a rapid suit. Bear Hickman died at Providence Hospital this morning. His remains will be interred in Potter’s Field. Another counterfeit five hundred dollar greenback note was received at the Sub-Treasury here to-day. An expert here says that the paper of the counterfeits lighter than the genuine. Tbe free cannot be distinguished from the genuine, but the letters on the back are tinged with green where they should be perfectly white, and a blue tint peculiar to tbe genuine is not perceptible in the counterfeit. Three have been so lar received here and all are believed to have come from the West. The Treasurer of the New Jersey Central Railroad states that no counterfeit bonds on that road have been or heard of, and the Secretary of tbe Western Union Telegraph Company knows of no counterfeits of their stocks or bonds. Tbe firm of Haskins k Braine, who advanced the lm of forty thousand dollars to the swindlers on forged bonds, suspend*d to-day. THE WEATHER. Washington, September 2, 1873.

Reported Raising of the Red Flag in|Madrid— Particulars of the Affair between Ad miral Yelverton and the In surgents at Carthagena. London, September 2,1873. A report la current on exchange here that the mu nicipal authorities ofMadrid have raised the red flag of the commune on the Town Hall and that the military have diacovered a secret depot of arm*, ammunition and petroleum belonging to the International Uniona- It is not generally credited that Vice-Admiral Yel- veston had taken the iron clads Almanza and Victoria from the harbor ofCartbagena and sent them to Gibral. ter. Tbe Insurgents made no attempt to prevent the vessels from going. The Times this morning bae additional details con cerning the affair between Vice Admiral Yelverton and tbe Carthagena insurgents, in relation to the re moval of the ironclads Almanza and Victoria after the Admiral’s notification that at the expiration of forty hours he should take the vessels out of the harbor. The Insurgent janta proposed that he should pledge his faith for hia Government that they would be held at Gibraltar, and not be turned over to the Madrid Government. This proposition was rejected and the British com mander informed the Junta that he would take the vessels to Gibraltar, and then recommend to hia Government that they be not surrendered until after the affair of Carthagena, bnt declined to give person al guarantee. At this the insurgent leaders became very much exasperated. The Junta issued orders to the commander* of the rebel vessels to go down the bay prepaied to resist by force tbe removal of the iron clads. The English Consul is prepared to leave Carthagena. A oonflict seems unavoidable. This was the oondition of affairs when the correspondent sent the dispatches published this morning, probebly to tbe 31st of August. To-day a brief telegram from Madrid announces that Vice Admiral Yelverton baa taken tbe vessels, and that there was no conflict. Whether the Insurgent leaden hare abandoned their extreme position, or in what manner trouble was avoided, it is not yet known.

The tinging waa splendid, and exhibits the marvelous progress of members of the organization in a short space of time. Mrs. Weems sang Berlins Somnambula’s “ De Cara Compagne,” and her execution of it was faultless, and elicited the highest commendation.

ENGLAND? London, September 2. 1873. Bix hundred pilgrims left London today for Pmray Le Monial. Yesterday they were addressed by Arch Bishop Manning. A Congressman Reading His Own Obituaries. From the Courier-Journal. Either from the heat of the weather, or exhaustion from overwork, or protracted watchings, or being in love, or debt, or liquor, the telegraph operator at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, got things so mixed the other da; that whereas he meant to say that Mr. Thomas had committed suicide, and Hon. Philetus Sawyer, M. C., had arrived home, he sent off a dispatch announcing that Mr. Thomas had arrived home and Hon. Philetus Sawyer, M. C., had committed anicide, and was no longer M. C., but P. M., which signified post mortem. *There was the devil to pay the next morn- ng at the breakfest table of the Hon. Philo- tns. The golden snn was riding in the eastern sky, looking as brilliantly as Professor Wiso’s balloon will, if that seronaut shall incur the expense of having it gilded; the morning lark, sweet soprano ot the air, was singing “ If I Ever Cease to Love," when Philetus, having taken an appetizer of Kentucky Bourbon, kept for his own private use, was sipping his enp of coffee and reading the columns of his morning papers. Presently his eyes dilated to tho size of his saacer, the paper fell from his hands, and the contents of his overturned enp mined a new pair of breeches. Clntcbing the newspaper again, he read with spasmodic gaspings: “ Onr readers will learn with regret of the sudden death of Hon. Philetus Sawyer, Eep- resentative in Congress from this State. Ho hang himself with a clothes-line in his coal- house yesterday. It is whispered that heavy peculations and embezzlements produced a temporary aberration of mind, rtn.T goaded to distraction, the unhappy man leaped into the dark bosom of eternity.” Philetus staggered and drew a long breath, and snateed at another newspaper, the Bosco- bel Truthteller, and read the following; Another warning. Hon. Philetus Sawyer, M. C., committed suicide at his residence yes terday, and terminated his existence by put ting an end to his mortal career, which re sulted in his death shortly after. When will men cease to ‘look upon wine when it is red,’ and ran after the strange woman, whose steps take hold on hell ?" Something like; an abrupt and explosive infraction ot the first clause of the third sec tion of tho decalogue, more commonly called the Ten Commandments, burst from the lips of the indignant Sawyer. Still he heroically maintained his ground, and opened anotner newspaper. It was the “Eau Claire Saw horse,” which bad nominated him for Con gress, and the note of whose editor he held lor twenty dollars borrswed money, said note being dated Jniy 4th, 18G5, and credited by one year’s subscription to the “Sawhorse.” And thus he read: “The mightiest intellect that ever trod the soil of Wisconsin has spread its wings and plunged into that mysterious bourne from which ‘no traveler e’er returns' (Sbakspeare.) Onr beloved Representative in Congress last night seized the shears of fate and clipped the thread of his own destiny. He drank a vial of laudanum, and was found standing stiff, stark and erect in his room, on tbe following morning, holding the amended Constitution of his country in one hand and the flag of the Union in the other, his lips set in snch a manner as to indicate that their latest articu lation bad been Epltu-ibus unum/ He has gone to show the increased pay of his virtues in the next world, and the back pay of his super abundant goodness in this. To all who pernse this feeble tribute of weeping friend ship we say, ‘Go thou and do likewise !’ Price of the Sawhorse one dollar cash or country produce, as heretofore. Memento moru" The involantary suicide picked up paper after paper, bnt he could sec nothing Bave his own obituary, calls for caucuses to take ' 'the melancholy political emergency into consid eration, ” and suggestions from “Many Vo ters," “Pro Bono Publico," and “Vox Popu- li,” urging the election of Jenks, Grimes and Snooks for Congress from Sawyer’s district, as the sheet-anchor hopo of an imperiled country. The latest intelligence from Wis consin reports the Hon. Philetns Sawyer on the war-path, with a broad-ax on one shoul der, a Gatling gnn on the other, and holding a carving-knife, between his teeth, traveling straight in the direction of tho telegraph office at Eau Claire. There is evidently “blood on the face of the moon" in that quarter, and we tremble to hear of the late of that wretched telegraph operator at Eau Claire. MACON DEPARTMENT K. C.

Several have died there and thereabouts lately, and the last one, Dr. Leggett, was reported to have died of ■tarvation. This incident has stirred np an interest in hermitB, and pointed out a dnty of hnnting them up. Dr. Leggott was a physi cian in good practice thirty years ago, bnt lost his practice daring a short incarceration in an insane asylum. His mental disease left him eccentric and he retired into the deep aolitnde of a crowded city to moalder oat his days. Hia wants wero supplied in one way and another by several publio charities as he appeared to need relief, but ho seems to have grown so very reticent that the extent ot his needs was unknown. Tbe Physicians Mutual Aid Association wonld have taken care of him —though he was not a member—if they had known of the hermit, bnt they did not until the news came that a doctor had starved to death.—St. Louis Republican.

Signor Henry Balleni, an Italian, astonish ed the visitors at Niagara Falls, Monday af ternoon, by crossing tbe chasm on a tight rope, as Blondin did years ago, and subse quently diving from the middle of the rope into the river below, a feat which his prede cessor did not attempt. The rope, 1,500 feet in length, was stretched from Prospect Park, on the American side, to near the Clifton House, on the other. Both shores were crowded with spectators long before tho time announced for the performance. About 4 o’clock Balleni appeared on the Canadian side and began to walk out, bnt after a few steps returned and ordered the cable to be tightened. When this was done, at 4:45 o’clock tho start was made. “All action and conversation,” says the Buffalo Express in its report of tho affair, “was now suspended, and everyone's attention was given to the man on the rope, who marched along apparently with the greatest ease, to the music of the Drum- mondsville Band, which was stationed in front of the Clifton House. At 4:54 o'clock Balleni reached tbe middle of the rope, where he baited to return his salutation to the tremen dous applause, which greeted his exploit. After resting himselt for a brief period the S’gn’ r agftin started on his tramp. This was the only slop made, and at 5:10 o'clock the perambulist, looking as pale as death, had reached the American end of his rope, he having made the trip in twenty-five minutes. After another rest of thirteen minutes, Signor Balleni again took his pole in hand and was off to the middle of tbe rope to make the great leap. It took him just six minutes to arrive at tho centre of the rope, and when there he at once began making preparations to jump. While thus engaged he lost his balancing-pole, which fell into the water and sank. A cord six feet long, made of rubber bands, was attached to tho rope, at a point jnst 115 feet above the surface of the water. BallcDi caught hold ot one end of the elastic cord before tho spectators thought he was ready to go. He descended like an arrow, and the recovering snap of tho rubber was al most simultaneous with the load splash of his fall in the water. No sooner was the splash heard than the head of tho Signor came peep ing ont of the water, and he struck out vig. orously and heartily toward the boat which was there to pick him up. He was quickly banled into the little cratt, carefully wrapped np with heavy blankets, and rowed, to shore. The Signor intends to give exhibitions of this character every Monday and Wednesday daring tho season.—-V. Y. Times. Adopt flic I-rcvcntivc Policy. Severe spells of billiousncss, indigestion, chills and fever, diurrhuca, nervous headaeho and physical exhaustion are quite usual at this seasoD. These are visitations which ev erybody is anxious to avoid, and as a corn so of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will nnques. tionably fortify the Rystcin against thorn, the most valuablo medical advico which can bo offered at this time to persons subject to such complaints or at all sensitive to atmospheric changes is to commence taking thia powerful vegetable alterative and iuvigoraut without delay. Forty-oight hours will notl have elapsed after the first dceo before a marked change will have manifested itself in tho con dition of the system. The ultimate result will be a habit of body so regular, a genial condition so vigorous, that however unhealthy tho season may chance to be, the system thus refreshed and reinforood will bo in the best possible trim to encounter it.
