Fire.—The stable
Stanley's premises, occupied by Courte
ney Bea' was discovered to be on fire on
Saturday afternoon. The fire seems to
have originated in the fodder loft, and
as the building was dry, burned very
rapidly, but to the surprise ot everybody,
the prompt and vigorous work of the
firemen soon arrested the flames, saving
the lower part ot the building. The
success of their efforts was greatly en
hanced by the close proximity of a cis
tern in Dr. Carlton’s lot. Give the boys
plenty ot water, and they are hard to

ISe Gtlxkr Endowment. —It
is known to many of our readers that the
on Major j ,&to ex-Govoroor Gilmer set aside a part
of his estate to endow an institution for
the educatiou of teachers. Gen Toombs,
Hon. A. H. Stephens, ex-Gov. Jenkins
and Hon. Wm. Reese are the trustees of
the fund. It originally amounted to $70.-
000; but the results of the war reduced
the fund to only $17,600, which is inade-
guatc to found a sepernt institution In
this emergency the Atlanta Sun states
that the trustees have determined to en
dow a scholarship in the University,'sub
ject to the condition of Gov. Gilmer’s
will.
The question will be submitted at the
next meeting of the Board of Trustees of
the State University, in August next,
when probably the endowment will be
accepted and the fund securely invested,

Washington, May 7, 1872.
An important conference was held
in the Capital this morning for the
purpose of discussing the availability
of Grant as the nominee of the Phila
delphia Convention. There were pres
ent, Colfax, Conkling, Morton, nnd
other Administration partisans. The
result of their deliberations is kept
strictly secret.
The confidential manager of Jay
Cook & Co., of this city, is authority
for the statement that Jay Cook and
other prominent parties held a consul
tation with Secretary Boutwell in New
York last night, for the purpose of
urging the latter to resign the Secre
taryship of the Interior and become a
candidate for the Presidency before the
Philadelphia Convention, pledging iu
his favor the entire influence of the
National Banks and other moneyed in
stitutions. The conference is said to
have been successful and Boutwell will
resign.
The project of throwing Grant over
board in Philadelphia, and substitn-
ing some one upon whom both factions
of the Republican party can unite, is
being boldly* canvassed—especially
since the nomination of Greeley and
Brown, and the favorable reception
given the ticket by the Democratic
press of different parts of the country.
It is stated positively that, if Grant
is nominated at Philadelphia, Sumner
will support Greeley, no matter what A!f
platform is adopted at Philadelphia.
After the Philadelphia Convention,
Sumner will come out in a letter cr
speeeli, defining his position. In the
meantime, he is doing all he can, in a
quiet way, for Greeley.
During the session of the Cabinet
to-day, it was decided to remove As
sistant Seretary of State, Charles Hale,
for alleged trading in State secrets on
on the Alabama question.
Seminole.
It seems a little premature for any
body, especially in this latitude,to make
up or express any settled opinion in
reference to the nomination. It can
not with any truth be said that die
ticket is the choeec of any considerable
portion of the intelligent people of the
South, except as between the two evils
of a Liberal and a Radical Republican.
If events shall assume such shape that
the contest becomes an issue between
the great Gift-Taker and the honest,
kind-hearted aud able fanatic of Chap-
aqua, the intelligent people of the
South will take the latter.
But it is well to await the action of
the two great party Conventions yet to
be held, before making up our minds
for or against the Cincinnati nominees.
The selection of Greeley is probably
the severest blow at Grant that could
have been struck. It is doubtful if
any member of the Republican party
exercises so large an influence on pub
lic opinion as Horacs Greeley. He has
done more than any other man to
mould and shape the policy of his par
ty in the past, and the defection in
it now is due very largely to his vigor
ous and persistent criticism on the im
becility and corruption of Gram s Ad
ministration. He has been the brave
auc consistent champion of the manly
policy of conciliation, while Grant has
been the stolid exponent of unrelen 1 -
ing revenge. Greeley’s magnanimity
toward Mr. Davis, and firm advocacy
of universal amnesty, have greatly
toned down the old hostility to Greeley
the abolitionitt. He has always recog
nized the integrity State governments,
and has no sympathy with centralism.
If Grants disregards the swelling
tide that has everywhere set against
him, and permits himself to be nomi
nated at Philadelphia, it will be for
the Democracy to determine whether
they will run a ticket, or by affiliating
with the Liberals help them to crush
the dynasty which ha3 done so much
to bring reproach upon our institu
tions and ruiu upon our business in
terests.
From present indications, the split
in the Republican party presents
grand opportunity to vindicate the vi
tality of the old time-honored demo
cratic organization.
But iu no other sense can he he
said to have any Democratic affinity,
and we cannot imagine any valid ex-
ense for wasting 3,000,000 Democratic
Votes on him.

Tl»e gross earnings of the Nashville
nnd Chattanooga Railroad during the
month of March, amouned to betewen
8107,000, and - $175,000, or about
$70,000 more than was earned during
the same mouth, of the previous
Country Newspapers.
A Ye endorse fully the following from
Hearth and Home, relating to the
country press:
“ Few people appreciate the value
of the village papers which gather up
the news of a county and advocate the
interests of a locality. And few un
derstand the amount of ability requir
ed to edit such a paper, where one man
must be editor, publisher, printer,
book-keeper, and all. Imagine how
much the intelligence of the country
would suffer by the blotting out of the
country papers, which treat of the im
mediate contact with their minds!
“ The true country editor under
stands that his paper thrives by being
intensely local; that it is not by learn
ed editorials on tariff and income tax,
but by articles in favor of the new rail
road, by descriptions of the new fac
tory, by the advocacy of the new
bridge, that he must succeed. People
look in his columns not only for the
latest general news, but for a mention
of every interesting fact, of every cur
ious matter of interest in his own
county.
“ And thus the paper becomes the
reflector of the current events and the
public sentiment of his section. Noth
ing is too small to be itemized if only
it is of interest. A country editor ad
vertised the other day that he would
insert a list of the names of all the
people who had joined the churches in
the county in a recent revival. Which
showed that he understood his busi
ness. He proposed to chronicle every
event of interest occurring in his juris
diction.
“Every intelligent family should
give a cordial support to the local
mwspaper. It is one ot the great ed
ucational influences.”

- The Labor Strikes ia Germany.
Tho labor troubles in Germany are
assuming, vast proportions, aud at Ber
lin thousands of workingmen, most of
them socialists, are out of employ
ment. A Berlin correspondent of the
London limes gives the history of this
great labor contest, from its inception,
at the close of the late France-German
war, to the present time, showing that
it has already assumed a most for
midable character, which must in time
endanger the domestic peace of the
Empire. - Commenting on the great
labor strikes in- Germany; the New
York JForW says: “ The time is not
by any means ss far off as is common
ly supposed when these social upheav
als which are even now shaking the
splendid military fabric of imperialism
in Central Europe will make them-
selves-felt on this side of the Atlantic
also. The spectacle of Vesuvius in
eruption is vastly more picturesque
than that of a multitude of German
workmen suddenly marching away
from their work. But the volcano
threatens not the fields and vineyards
of Naples so formidably as do these
steadily increasing combinations of
labor the existing organizations of cap
ital and property not in Germany only
but throughout Christendom,”

many of large size and great value.
Mr. Bale brought with him several
hundreds of the diamonds, one of
which, a fine large one, is valued nt
not less than SI 20,000. In its natural
state, the African diamond is smooth
and polished, and when set without
cutting, is quite ornamental; but its
beauty is, of course, greatly enhanced
by cutting in the usual manner.
'Dte new diamond fields of Africa
are at the present moment the focus

parts of the world. From this country
and Europe the intending diamond

Less than a year ago iron was sell
ing at thirty-five dollars per ton.-—
To-day the same brand brings from
forty-two to forty-three dollars. The
cause seems to be one of the most gene
ral character, scarcity of ore in Eng
land and increase of cast of coal and
wages there affecting the markets of
the rest ot the world for want of any
sufficiently powerful counterbalancing
iron manufacturing system elsewhere.
Mr. Samuel’s circulaar of the 11th
reports that the English Bessemer steel
men have enough orders on hand to
occupy them three and a half years.
The small manufacturers of merchant
bar and bundle iron in England have
for the most part abandoned their busi
ness to make Bessemer steel rails for
the large commission houses, which
throws the manufacturing of merchant
bars and bundle iron into a few hands.
Laborers there, knowing the state of
the markets, are constantly striking
for higher wages, and are aided in
their efforts by the coal miners, who
manage to produce a half supply of
coal, so that coal fetches 22 at the pit’s
mouth fifteen shillings the ton, the
highest price ever reached. All this
has caused merchant bar iron to advance
from £7 10s. in August last to £2210s.
at the present time. Nor is the price
yet stationary; foi, since the last cir
cular, merchant bar ha3 advanced in
the Philadelphia market one-fifth of a
cent per pound, viz to 4, 4s. The
East Pennsylvania iron men have re
fused for some time to receive orders
on any fixed contract price, while
Western iron rankers are refusing or
ders on account of their number,
The English manufacturers record the
price of their products only when de
livered, and refuse all conti acts un
time.
Everything shows an insufficiency
of iron, p : g nnd rolled, forged in Bes
semer, alike, to satisfy the demands of
a civilized world. Nor will the growth
of the manufacture for a long time
keep pace with the ever enlarging de
mands made upon it.. Fluctuations in
the annual pro luct of this.or that iron
region of country does not materially
alter the general situation. Sweeden
and Norway may not (as reported )
produce more than half their usual
quota. Old furnaces are going into
■blast, and new furnaces building else
where. But it is easier to deplete the
iron market when iron is low than to
refill the yards when a scarcity has
run up iron to prices which both col
lect capital at old works and invite its
investment ia new ones. It takes time
to establish iron-worki ; time to get ore

extreme southern point of Africa, the
Cape of Good Hope. Here, by steam
er, he coasts up the eastern shore of the
continent for. 500 miles, over the wa
ters of the Indian ocean, to the city of
Port Natal; thence on foot, or in ox
carts, overland north westerly, through
African wilds for some 400 miles, to the
Vaal river. This locality is almost
midway between the Atlantic and In
dian oceans, where the Vaal river
empties into the Orange river, and the
latter into the Atlantic ocean. This is
the present South African diamond
region. v
The diamonds are found in a certain
species of cement like earth, whitish
in color, which, under the blow of a
wooden mallet, is readily reduced to
powder. This earth is of peculiar for
mation, and its constituents have not
yet been fully determined. It occurs
in pockets, of conciderable depth and
of about an acre in superficial area,
which pockets are scattered about, at
little distances apart, over the reigion
we allude to. The pockets are walled
in by slaty recks, which rise to or near
ly to the surface of the ground. The
indications are that these cavities or
pockets in theTOcks have been filled
by the oozing np • from below of this
cement. The diamonds are found in
the oeraeot, .which.is mined- by picks
and crow bars, an A the following is tho
general operation:
The pockets are staked off into
“ claims,” a claim consisting of a plot
of ground thirty feet square, and for
which the operator pays the proprietor
from two hundred to eight hunered
dollars. The mining is carried down
vertically as tar as paying earth is
found, a harrow wall being left stand
ing between eadb claim. Some of the
pits have now reached a depth of 70
feet. The mining is chiefly done by
the native blacks, the earth being rais
ed in buckets to the surface, and car
ried to a sorting table. Here the ce
ment ia pulvqra$f by hand, by means
of wooden mallets, care being taken
not to strike so hard as to injure the
diamond.. X|\e pulverized cement is
then spread out upon a table iu a thin
layer, and the anxious eyes of the
s p«rch<»r carefully span the particles.
Good eyes ape u demand. Foptmiate

finds at last one or two of the bright
