Reply to the Card of Cherokee Lodge No. 6C
' Mr Editor :
Deau Sii—Onr attention has been call
ed to a card published in yonr paper of
the 3d inst, “by order of Cherokee Lodge
No. 66, “in justice,” as is alleged, “to the or
der of Free and accepted Masons, as well
as to the entire community” in the region
round about Borne.
The attack therein made upon the Geor
gia State Lottery is gratuitously and gross
ly unjust. The manifest insinuation there
in contained, that the Lottery claims any
connection with the Masonry is simply un
true. It disclaims all connection with the
Masonic Fraternity; does not seek the fos
tering care of the. order, as an organization,
in any way whatever; is established for the
humane purpose of educating and provid
ing for indigent orphans of the State,
whether of Masons or others; and ccrtutnly
does not ask the aid of those who are
disposed, from any cause, to lend a helping
hand in forwarding the noble and pious
enterprise.
Under its patronage and surveillance,
some eighty poor Georgia orphans, whose
father’s bones lie scattered in the war path
from_Gettysburg to Galveston, are supplied
—free of charge—with the nutriment of
intellectual life. It is safe to predict that
the number of beneficiaries will be largely
increased, if the institution be let alone.—
We beg favors of none, and only ask from
foes the charity of silence, far a little
while, when our faith shall be proved by
our works.
The conduct of a former manager, who
happened to be a Deputy Graud Master of
the Order for Geirgia, in using his Mason
ic official signature to Lottery Circulars, etc.
was wholly voluntary on his part, and ut
terly unauthorized by the Board of Tru3
tees. If he attempted to procure from
the Grand Lodge an endorsement of the
Institution, nud received for his pains an
implied censure by the passage of the reso
lution of 1867,, it was their business and
his—not ours—and we have not complain
ed. The lady Trustees asked no such
tiling, uor did they desiie any such thing.
They are proud to recognize among the
warmest friends of the Inititution, many
good and true Masons; hut they desire no
connection with that respected Fraternity
as an organized body.
We publish this card as au act of “jus
tice to Cherokee Lode No. 66, of True and
Accepted Masons.” “The entire co umnni-
ty,” about Rome, are abundantly able to
take care of themselves—unless they be
degenerate sons of noble sires—and we
know the contrary.
Respectfully,
Howard & Co., Managers.

Haitiy sentiment*
The New York Herald bpt expresses
the sentiments of a'l, save the extreme
(torch and turpentine) radicals, when, in
reference ip the very mean and very doubt
ful conduct of certain parties at Washing
ton in preventing the decoration of Confed
erate graves, it asks :
“Is it possible thst we cannot see how to
be patriots without being brutes ? Is it
possible tbi t our respect for a great cause
requires us to exercise a mean supervision
over the actions and thoughts of those whose
sorrow.- differ from ours in their direction?
Is this horrible tyranny of a majority to go
into the sacred domain of the grave, too,
and shall ho one be grieved over, or mourn
ed with sentimental usage, if he happctied
to bo wrong ? Shame on the zeal that pur
sues a qnarrel beyond the grave. In tin-
United States of America freedom has been
much cramped for soma time, but we bave
always desired to believe that it was only
neeessarially so. Permit us, men of authori
ty, to believe that there is still freedom for
g. woman to go to the grave of her lover and
cast upon it a token of rememberance If
there is not, what better are you than the
brutal despots that made Austria a byword

Penitentiary.—There was a report
upon onr streets last week, that the Peniten
tiary was leased ; upon inquiry at the prop
er sooree, we find that it was not so.
Some few weeks sipce, a railroad contrac
tor name and took a number of couvicts,
leaving in the Penitentiary at this time,
45, out of which number, there is not more
thai 15 real good hands W e saw about
8 or 10 that were of but little account, and
3 or 4 that were of no account.
The principle work that is now being done,
is that of brick making, blacksmitliing, shoe
making, and wagon work, of course upon a
very small scale. We were informed by
Col. Walton, Principal Keeper, that he is
making more clear money with the few
hands he has, than when they were twice
as many. He has giveD up all kinds ot
■little job work, and takes in only heavy
work. . The aveiagc earnings oi the black
smith shop per week, is about $125. All
the shoes that are made findready sale.
The whole number of convicts as regis
tcred, is about .409, of which two-thirds
are ne.roes. Thenumber at work on rail

Citizens Arrested.
Adgusta, June 8.—A letter to the
Chronicle & Sentinel, siys the editoi of the
Warrenton Clipper and other citizens were
arrested today at. Warrenton, Warren
county, at the instance of the Sheriff, who
arrived there from Atlanta yesterday. The
citizens are in jail, surrounded bv a strong'
force of military. The excitement is very
great. The arrests are presumed to have
grown out o political difficulties.
LETTER FROM WARREN.
CIVIL LAW OVERTHROWN.
Six Citizens Arrested and Itrona Into
|Jail by the Military at the Bidding of one
Norris—The Writ of Habeas Corpus
Treated with Perfect Contempt.
Warrenton, June 8th, 1869.
Editors Constitutionalist:
Since my last, Norris has returned from
Atlanta, bringing with him 150 more troops
Yesterday at 5, p. m , the reign of tyranny
commenced. Backed by the military, who
are snbservitnt to his ordeis, he arrested
without warrant or legal process, John Ra
ley, the legal Sheriff of onr county, march
ed him to jail, under an escort of n compa
ny of soldiers, and lockid him in. Raley
made no resistance, bat quietly hauded the
keys over and marched in.
About 9 p. m., a party of young men, 4,
had assembled to practice music, and were
sitting in a piazza, located on the opposite
side of tlu square from the jail. Norris
took it as a demonstration in honor of Raley
and would have arrested the entiire party,
bat for the kind interference of the officer
of the guard. The young men explain *d
to the officer why they had met, it being
their regular eveaing to practice, and asked
if they wonld be allowed to practice inside
of the store. The officer giving his con
sent, they adjourned to Hall & Shield’s
drug store, and were qnietly enjoying
themselves, when Norris walked in with a
guard, surveyed the party, singled out a
Mr. E. E. Cody, asked him his name, and
told him to consider himself under arrest,
then ordered the guard to march him off to
jail. About 11 p. ui., he carried his guard
to the residence of Mr. E. C. Cody, three
miles from town, arrested and confined him
in jail.
Messrs. J. M. Cody and H. Martin were
the next victims. They were arrested
about 12 o’c’ock.
Capt A. J Hartley, the editor of the
Clipper, hearing that the scoundrel Norris
was looking for him, reported to the officer
commanding the military, and was placed
by Norris in company with the other gen
tlemen named.
Thus, in one night, six of our citizens
have been arrested aDd confined in jail,
without warrant or legal process of any
character -no charges made, no reason as
signed.
Yesterday afternoon a writ of habeas cor
pus was served on the military; and also on
Norris, in Raley’s case. The military were
read*’ and willing to answer, but Norris re
fused to answer it. Another writ was serv
ed on him last night. He received it, and
cooly replied that he would answer through
headquarters.
There is no telling where or when this
high-handed outrage will end. It is the
intention of every one this morning, to sub
mit quietly and thus avoid any collision
with tbe military—Bullock’s cherished
hope. 1 expect the “mill to commence
grinding” again, in a few hours, and your
humble servant may be “taken in.”
A few more writs were takcu ont this
morning
Judge Andrews, Gen. UnBos nod other
legal advisers are expected to day. All of
ns are hopeful of a better day coming, and
contented to let things “wag on for a
while.”
The military have conducted themselves
satisfactorily to the citizens, discharging
their duty as s< ldiers and treating the pris
oners as gentlemen.
Yours, G.

LOYAL KU KLIJ.N.
Several Hundred Armed Loyalists Hunt
ing an East Tennessee Minister.
It will be remembered by onr readers,
and indeed the people of the entire coun
try remember the affair with feelings oi
horror and detestation, that about one
mouth ago Rev. Jacob Smith, while on his
way 0 fill au appointment in Blount coun
ty, wqs seized by armed ruffians, compos
ing the leaders of the league of the Radi
oal party of that county, taken to the woods
stripped to his shirt, tied to tree and
whipped unmercifully with withes, until
his back and shoulders were a mass of
blood and quivering flesh.
No reason existed for this barbarous ac
tion. Mr. Smi’.o was unknown in that lo
cality until after tho close of the war. Dur
ing the e vil strife he preached to both ar
mies “Ckrl't and him crucified.” He be
lieved not in carnal weapons, even while in
the midst of bloody strife. He never car
ried a pistol nor any other weapon. His
preapl)iqg was preeminently the Gospel ot
Peace. He bears tho injpriot of thp AL
mighty on his calm, serious, guiltless face,
as a man “unspotted from the world.”
The vindictive and Satauic teachings of
Tennessee Radicalism bore their bitter
fruit in the martyrdom of this man of God.
As the time approached when Mr. Smith
had another appointment to fill in that
county, he received evidence and informa
tioj), tlje most trustworthy and reliable, that
tho loyalists of the cofipty T?erp laying
their plans to prevent his preaching, apo
many were loudly asserting that time we
will make an end of it.
Not only this, but he also learned that his
friends in the county, the member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, were
being ill-treated and threatened, and that
an attempt by him to preach there would
result not only in his hurt, but also to their
injury. Influenced more by the desire not
to involve any of the friends of his clwch
in trouble, and after consultation with his
co-lab: rers in tho ministry in this oity, Mr.
Smith resolved not to attempt to preach the
Gospel of Christ to these Pharisaical loyal
ists. How prudent was'.his resolve may
be learned by t'.eactionof these loyal men
—these simon pare members of the party
of great moral ideas on the holy Sabbath.
Last Sunday morning, the day of Mr.
Smith’s appointment at Logan's Chapel, in
Blount oour.ty, fqlly tyo hlfodred and fifty
of these lovalists, ill well armed and under
the leadership of the me i who had previ
ously whipped Mr. Smith, assembled n the
vicinity of the. chapel and boisterously dis*
closed their intention of preventing the re
ligious exercises from taking place. The
members of Mr. Smith’s church, aware of
the impepdipg troubles, did not go to the
chapel! and the ruffians, after waiting some
time, determined not to allow their inten
tions to be baffled by the escape of their
priy. Accordingly they sent squads ont
in searoh of the preacher, which visited ev
ery suspected house Ibr miles around.
Mr. Smith, however, was quietly attend
ing worship in Knoxville, and towards noon
hi« persecutors dispersed, elated with
knowledge that they had prevented the
preaching nf thp svofd pfjP°4-..
These same men are now plotting t# pre
vent by armed foroe the fulfillme it of Mr.
Smith’s appointment, next Sabbath, at
Louisville, in the same county. Of course
they will be successful, as there are no offi
cers in the county who dare to do right
and arrest these violators of the law. Rath
er do they mix themselves with tbe wick
ed perpetrators cf cowardly attacks cn au
unarmed man.
This reader, is Brownlowism, Tennessee
Radicalism, the offspring of the evil one.

NASAL WARFARE.
Smelling Out Committee at Work in
Atlanta.
Atlanta, Jane 2,1869.
This is a city of novelties—indeed, it is
a novel city. Its citizens are uniqne, and
their genius is peculiar. '
It seems that the proprietors of the Na
tional Hotel and one Gaines Chisolm, cele
brated in this community as the owrn r of a
faro bank, and recently of a keno bank,
rented some rooms, the front entrance to
which was on Marietta street, to which the
rear entrance' .s between the premises claim
ed by the proprietors of the National’Hotel
and the owners of a certain drug store that
fronts on Marietta street.
Now for two or three days past, it ap
pears that the proprietors of the National
Hotel claim that the rear entrance to
Gaines Chisolm’s new bank is their own
private property, and after defying Gaines’
protiges and employees, it appears that Mr.
Lewis Pond, brother of the proprietor of
the National Hotel, fell upon the expedi
ent of stinking ont Mr. Chisolm’s patrons,
by placing in tbe gang way leading to the
rear of his keno rink, a number of “deodor
izers.” Now Mr. Gaines Chisolm, who al
ways plays a strait game, did not like this
odoriferous ante, and determined to meet
Mr. Lewis Pond with a raise, about which
he could have no right to complain inas
much as he proposed to meet him on a lev
el and bet against him in kind. Going to
his keno rial by the back way, as he deem
ed he had a right to do, his nostrils were
soluted with a perfume not ot “Araby the
blest.”
Acting npon the impulse of tie moment,
he shonldered one of the “Deordorizeis”
and marching ont in front of the National
Hotel he emptied its contents upon the top
of Mr. Lem Pond’s head, and the contents
ran down npon his beard, even to the skirts
of his garments. That the odor was not as
pleasant as the dew of Hcrrnon, nor as
sweet as the lillies of tbe valley, it is not
asserted by yonr correspondent.
Gaines Chisolm, perceiving that some of
the contents of the vessel had fallen upon
an innoeent person apologized and proposed
to buy for him a new suitof clothes. Gen.
Terry, who was near by, and whose olfacto
ries were scented by the disagreeable ad
mixture of ammonia and sulphuretted hy
drogen, summoned a guard to the National
Hotel, and all this day may be seen tramp
ing the pivevcnt ’rom the railroad cross
ing to Marietta street, sentinels in the full
uniform of United Slates soldiers, guard
ing the sidewalk.
The casual observer when asked what
tho meaning thereof may be, is answered
by the remark that they are Gen. Terry’s
“rear ’ guards. To what low purposes and
ends have the soldiers of the United States
army been degraded! Gaines Ghlsolui, a
g mbler, sees proper to retailiate in kind
upon a low flung carpet-bagger. Yet the
representatives of “the best government
the .vorld ever saw” are prostituted to the
low business of guarding au infamous pup
py who, to accomplish his puipose, usesthe
filthiest means, which in tarn arc used by
his adversary with terribh and telling af
fect to disgrace, defile and degrade him.
Gaines Chisolm, the Gambler, and Lc is
Pond, the “dead heat,” are not representa
tive men of either the Northern Radicals or
of the Southern chevaliers. Hence, though
Gen. Terry may post his guards and dis
grace the United States uniform by posting
sentinels on the pavement b fore tho Na
tional Hotel, no sort of misrepresontation
will make this silly and disgraceful affair
less fragrant in the nostrils of decent men.
than it does now in the olfactories of every
decent man in Atlanta. Any way we view
it—
“The offense is rank,
It smells to Heaven.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, June 4.—Havana news

Adgusta, June 5.—The Ejberton Ga
zette states that an insurrectionary plot was
disclosed by a negro, having for its object
the burning of the town of Lexington,
county seat of Oglethorpe connty, and the
inhabitants. The Sheriff and posse, in ar
resting tbe negroes implicated, were resist
ed by one, whom they shot and killed.
Increased Representation.
From an elaborate statement complied
by the Wilmington N. C. Journal, op the
basis ol population jo tbe census of 1860,
we flmj that the representation of the South
ern States will he considerably increased
in the next appointment. This increase
will be mainly ane to the negro clement,
which has been heretofore connted under
she tliree-fifths rule.
From tho JournaTs statement the repre
sentation of the different S mthern S.ates
will be increased ai follows :
“Maryland 2, Virginia 8, North Caroliua 4,
South Carolina 5, Georgia 6, Florida 2,
Alabama 5, Mississippi 4, Louisiana 4,
Texas 2, Missouri 1, Arkansas, ^Tennes
see 3, Kpntqpky 3-”
Aud unless thp ratio of representation
should be increased, the Southern States un*
der the next apportiop went will have an ag
gregate increase of fifty member?-
Tbe Memphis and El Faso Rail Read.
The following concerning the Memphis
and 1 Faso road appears in the New Yoik

RECONSTRUCTION LAW.
Opinion of Attorney General Hoar.
The Powers of Congress.
Wasuinq-jon, Juno 5.
In the case of James Weaver,a citizen of
Texas, tried for mnrder, convicted and
sentenced to be hung by a military com
mission,the Attorney General has given an
opinion in which he reviews the reconstruc
tion laws aud the aaties of commanding
officers, and says as the State of Texas had
not, in September, 1868, and had not since,
adopted the constitution in conformity with
provision of the act of Coagrisss and has
not become entitled to representation iu
Congress, the act was operative in Texas
at the titpe ibe military commission was
organised far the trial of Weaver, and tbe
commanding General exercised the discre
tion entrusted to him by the third section
by deciding tbat it was necessary a military
commission should be organized for the'
trial. If, therefore, the statute of march
2, 1867, is a constitutional and valid stat
ute, it then appears that the jurisdiction of
the said military commission was complete
and that there is no legal obstacle to the
execution of tbe sentence. The Attorney
General maintain*! that [he right of war did
not nepessarily terminate with the cessation
of active and actual hostilities, and not un
til the work o' restoring the relations of
peace shall hare been accomplished, can it
be so considered. It is for Congress to
determine when the war has so far ended
that the work can be safely and success
fully completed. The Attorney General
sees no reason in the law of withholding
tbe i resident’s approval of (bp findings.
During the argument the Attorney Gener
al said, itobvious Congress, under the
constitution, hag no right in time of peace
to subject any citizen of a State to trial and
punishment by military power.

The Agricultural Interests of the Day.
Gadsden, Ala-, )
May 20,1869. J
Editor Courier: <-
I peruse with pleasure . and profit the
communications of Mr.- Dent, of Cave
Spring, occasionally published in yonr pa
per, entreating farmers to organize societies
and adopt every needful measure to promote
the general interests of agricnltnae.
It was my good fortune, before the w r,
when but a youth, to be acquainted with
yonr correspondent a laded to, then t resi
dent of Barbour county, Ala. -knew him
to be a successful planter there, and could
bat admire his zeal, although I had no idea
at that time of ever engaging in the eto-
bling occupation which he bos so long and
stndioosly made a speciality. No farmer
in Floyd county, it is presumed, knows
better whereof he writes, and lias tbe wel
fare of the country more at heart, than this
veteran soldier of the plow.
He is to all “intents and purposes,” right;
the exigencies of the times, prosperity of
the country, and individual success, imper
atively suggest reformation.
How little raasoi. and policy there seems
to be in the “masterly inactivity” of many
Southern farmers at the present time. The
pall of lethargy and stupidity would appear
to be peculiar to the professi >n, and with
many, coexistent with the very beginning
of their career. Every other enterprise or
branch of business has organized and con
certed rales of action, and it is passing
strange that husbandly, npon which all
other subordinate (if, for the sake of ciur-
tesy, we say auxiliary) occupations are de
pendent for their very existence, cannot
maintain a system of fixed and concentrat
ed effort. Bat in the midst of the gloom
and despondency wide-spread throughout
the land, it is gratifying to note the fact
that a mighty revolution iu agriculture is
close at hand, which promises a brighter
fnture at the foreshadowed capitulation of
its vanquished enemies—ignorance and in
dolence. Conference and concert of action
are destined to work miracles in onr modes
of culture, and other collateral subjects, in
timately and inseparably associated with it.
The desired objects cannot well be attain
ed otherwise.
That agricnltare is the basis and sonree
of being of all other pursuits, is a maxim
familiar to every school boy; it being the
admitted head of other occupations. In
addition to the acquisition of knowledge
essential to successful farming, why should
it not be made the most lucrative ? This
will doubtless be the case.when, tbe ogricnl-
ral fraternity consent to emulate the dilli-
gencc observedjby the commercial, mechan
ical and professional branches. Till then
they mast continue tq grope subserviently
to a class who derive their support and bus
iness from products of their soil and labor.
Is is highly proper that the earth and its
management should be invested with the
dignity and importance it so justly deserves,
and which tbe laws of nature and natures
God unmistakably designed it to re
ceive.
The particular line of policy to b“ adop
ted in order to remedy existing errors and
to push the science and art ef agricnltnre
to still further development, being the pri
mary objects of convocations aud confer
ences of faruiets, it must be left to these
bodies to determiue what this should be.—
The “room for improvement” is certainly
as broad as earth itself.
Here I hog leave to say tha* it really ap
pears that the commercial world is growing
into affluence to the impoverishment of onr
agriculturalists. This would seem to be
the reverse of legitimacy and an exaltation
of tbe creature into tbe superiority of the
Creator,in the sense above iodioated. These
“crying evils” assuredly deserve consider
ation The command now should be,
“about face;” natural channc's must be
sought, and supercilious aud extortionate
aide—dealers reuiiqded of the situation of
the situation of the bank from whioh they
draw the capital at ruinous discount, to add
prosperity to their business, and plethora
to thoir hidden coffers.
Politically, we are a rained people. The
welfare oi the South henceforth lies in the
mighty arm of improved agriculture It
behooves us as valient knights of the “Lost
Cause,” to betake onr thoqgfete and ener
gies to the fejtqrativ q and furtherance of
the naterial interests of our desolated sec
tion. The time has come when we should
“tarn oar spears into pruning hooks, and
onr swords into plow-shares.” The “sonny
South” can only be made again to “bloom
and blossom as the rose,” through the agen
cy of agricultural societies. Coucpcatipys,
consultations, ACTIQJf, a;s now the mot
toes whioh sbonld actuate us. The sub
jects to be considered are numerous and
momentous. Arrangements must be made
to obtain cheap labor-saving implements,
and all other articles needed on the farm—
to regnlate labor—to confer on the merits
of different implements, and their use, and
the most profitable mode of tillage—to de
termine the fertilizers best adapted to OQr
soil and'Oeocssitjcg, qll qf tthi«h wo must
obtain at rates justifying a living profit
from their use—and, in short, to consider
everything looking to the elevation of
tho cultivation, of-the soil to its propor
sphere ofimportanoe and usefulness, en
forcing a rigid 'discountenance to snbver-
tion and extortion.
Farmers should eulist their brain iq he*
of their suljiqg. M&qtaj Ww separately
considered, will prove more beneficial titan
manual, in the end. In conjunction, they
may be made nearly peril ct. Thu couplet
tbat—
“He that by the plow wonld thrive.
Himself most either hold or drive,”
when properly construed, has reference
more to the direction of the hea(l Ihap
baqds. Our farmers ought to devote.—
lucre thought to cduoational advantages',—
more of the youth of tho oonutry should
receive the fostering oare and training of
agricultural schools and colleges, the better
to fit them for the dnties of the farm,
well as legislators, when called npon. ft is
to be hoped that the fonpgy habit of farm-
op, (whioh, by tho way, had ripened into
ehroqio disease) of placing such boys as
gave e r idence of the possession of depth or
brilliancy of intellect, bellied [he counter,

be less adhered to hereafter, and more of

I mu3t beg pardoD, Mr. editor, for tress
passing at such disjointed length upon yonr
columns. These subjects might be taken
singly, and elaborated, and if yon think me
not too great a bore, I may drop yon an oc
casional slip—for publication.
In conclusion, in behalf of the welfare
of the Sonth, allow me to lid Mr. Dent
God-speed. If it be true that “he is a ben-
benefactor, who makes two blades of ; rass
grow where only one trev before," snch
men as Mr. D. certainly deserve the thanks
of the whole country.

Tbe Exiled Sheriff of Warren County Re
turns and Claims His Office.
Fro :• a reliable correspondent in War-
rcutua, we learn, sajs the Constitutionalist,
that the self-expatriated Sheriff of Warren
county has, by and with the consent of
Gov. Bollock, returned to Warrenton,
backed by Jen. Terry’s military, so claim
the office which he so ignominoosly aban
doned a few months since. Of the scene
onr correspondent writes :
“Old Warren county has been reinstated
in the Union, at least one would surmise as
mneh from appearances. J. C. (Chap)
Norris, the party who forfeited the office of
Sheriff, and who has been remaining ■' in
Atlanta since, returned yesterday. He
was escorted by a Colonel, and twenty men,
and took np his quarters with the military
daring the day. Last night he visited his
house, being guarded by twenty men, and
remained till this morning, when he mar
shaled his troops and returned to cam]
“It wonld have excited yonr facial or
gans to on unlimited degree of risibility to
have witnessed this grand and imposing
display of Imperialism in the Republican
county of Warren. The venerable ex-
High Sheriff, with an immense, cane in
hand, and with the air of one who comes to
conquer, took position twenty yards in front
of his esaort, waved his baton, and the pro
cession moved off.
“It is impossible for me to give any
thing like a description of this ridienlons
affair, and will trust to yonr imagination
more than my ability.
“Gov. Bollock has written to Maj. Van
Voast. that Norris is entitled to the office
of Sheriff, bat the law and people say oth
erwise; therefore Mr. B’s. letter will not
accomplish much.
“The military examined the record con
cerning the appointment of Mr. Raley
(Norris’ successor) and, op to Iasi night,
were of opinion that Norris could not be re
instated—at least, they so expressed.
“We expeet some lively times here dar
ing the day—that is, palling among the
lawyers.
“Bollock’s object in sending Norris here
fa plain, and seeing it we hope .to defeat
him.
“They can’t knock tbe pegs from under
civil law in Warren, unless they can get
Norris back. Once reinst-ted, he wonld
declare himself nuabls to execate the law,
and oall on the military for assistance. Se
curing that (which he undoubtedly wonld)
an indiscriminate arrest wmld follow. ,
“This fa a grand movement on the part
of Bollock, Norris and the Radicals, bat it
fa too near the surface to succeed.”
Enormous Coal Deposit.
Gen. J. T. Wilder, of Rockwood Iron
Works, was in the city yesterday for ashort
time. He informs ns that the miners iu
his coal mine are now st work upon a de
posit of coal which exceeds in thickness
-nything ever known in the world. An
sir coarse driven across the bed shows it to
be over one hnndr -d feet thick. This fa
mire than twice the thickness of the laigeet
beds of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania!—

Romance on tbe Crevasse*
A romance of the Chicot' Noir crevasse
is told in the New Orleans papers. The
belle of a neighboring country-seat on, tbe
banks of the river was assiduously, courted
by two elligible yonog gentlemen, to’one
of whom sho gave her heart, but tc the oth-
C-r her parents insisted npon giving her
hand. She vainly remonstrated, bat tbe
day was fixed, the party assembled, and the
unfortnnatc girl, in a bewilder® 1 and half
uncunsckm* state, compelled to stand up
for tbe ceremony. Just as the clergyman
approached that part of the services whioh
required her assent, their came a roar and
a crash. The river had burst its hanks
olose to the house. The. guests fled In ter
ror, the bride fainted before she had said'“I
will,” and the rejected snitor rushing in
carried her off, and before night had her
safely married. The other, who had prom
ised on his part to love and cherish, with
out receiving the reciprocal pledge, thinks
of proseontiog;
Plant an Orchard.
No matter whether yonr farm fa small or

orchard of frnit-trees. “ We do not advise
