THE COOSA RIVER SURVEY.
We have to thank Hon. Peter M. Dai,
Representative from Alabama in Congress,
for a copy of a letter from the Secretary
of War; embracing the report of Maj. Fill
ebrown upon the Coosa river survey. The
report will be found upon oar first page,
and will be continu d in oar next issue. It
will be read with a deep interest by our
readers, for it pertains to a subject in which
the prosperity of our entire section is inti
mately blended.
No enterprise promises more for the
prosperity of our city than that of improv
ing the navigation of the Coosa river, so
as to make it navigable for steamboats to
Mobile. This grand work completed and
untold results will follow. The imme nse
wealth of iron aud coal developed by it
will give this section aa impetus on the
highway or prosperity then was never known
before. The inexeustive wealth of the
coal and irou of St. Clair and S helby, that
is now ’lying idle for want of transporta
tion will be put in active, usefulness, and
thus our city will reap the rich harvest
With the coal andiron deposits referred
to by Maj. Fillebrown, we are perfectlyfa
miliar. The coal is far superior to any oth
er worked in the State, and readily de
mands S10 per ton when the Shelby coal
brings S7. A specimen sent to McKesson
and Robbins, New York, and by them Eub
mitted to the Professor of coal and iron in
Yale College, was pronounced to be -‘of su
perior quality, but he did not believe that
it came from so far South ns Alabama.”—
There are millions of tons of this coal in
St. Clair, easy to mine, but testing undis
turbed, as Maj. Fillebrown says, for want of
transportation.
The river improved, and this immense
wealth will be poured into the lap of Rome,
to be distributed from hence to the seaboard
cities.
The practicability of the improvement is
fully established by Maj. Fiilbrown, and
our only feelings in contemplating the won
derful effects that it will have upon our
prosperity, is that it is too good to be true.
The estimates of Maj. Fillebrown are less
than has ever heretofore been made, and
he feels ce tain that they are sufficiently
large to cover all costs. From Maj. Fill
ebrovru’s position and well known scientific
attainments and practical observation, we
feel assured that he is right in his estimate,
and that his report will be sufficient to in
duce Congress to take the work in hand at
cnee.
We congratulate the Major upon the
success of his survey—our people upon the
bright future that opens before them, and
we agaiu thank Hon. P. M. Dox of Ala
bama for hio favor.
The question is frequently asked, what
I are the School Board doing ? are they or
ganizing schools, etc., etc ? Wo are not
prepared to answei these questions, but we
suppose they are waiting for the School
Trustees to make a report of the number
of children in their respective districts,
| towns and wards.
We learn that all the district Trustee^
I are ready to report, but those in the town
I districts and wards of the city are not, but
I we hope they will be in a few days. If pa-
Iren's and guardians would report the num-
Iber of their children to the Trustees in
Itheir respective districts, towns and wards,
fit would expedite the business, and save the
[Trustees a great deal of unnecessary trou
IbK Parents and guardians ought to do
[this, as tl ey are the ones benefited by it,
lespecially, as the trustees get nothing for
|their services.
Mr. M. A. Nevin, the County Commis
sioner, is at work, and will do bis whole
duty, but it can’t be expected that he can
■e everybody and do everything himself.
3very citizen who has a child ought to do ®y.
what he can to assist the Board and Trus
|tces in the direction of their duties, and
vc hope they will, and make the system a
fctood one and a blessing to cur country.
Wo are iede itcd to Honorable Carl
Bchurz for Congressional favors—also' to
lonorable’s Marian Bethumc, Allen G.
Churman, P. M. B. Young, and H. Y. M.
liller.
Books, Journals, papers upon agriculture
horticulture, mechanical arts, home industry,
Ind economy, valuable grain, seeds,
llants, fruit trees, agricultural aud garden-
ng implements and fine stock, etc., would be
uueh more appropriate to give out as premi-
lins than silver ware, and would do a hun-
Ircd fold more good. It would be carrying
lut the objects and purposes of the Associa-
lon, The silver ware has the opposite luflu-
Thc former encourages industry and
Iconomy—the latter pride and extravagance.
We hope that the Directors will abandon

those books and journals that will dissem-
hatc useful knowledge.
We have received from our old Taliade
i friend, Hon. A. Hitchcock—representa.
ye in tho Alabama Legislature, a copy
[ the report of the Superintendent of the
psanc Asylum at Tnskaloosa.

The fools of the Court o/ Butler
the Beast—Hi* character, his valor, and
his wondeif&explBitfasa^gpTior—The
Battle of Big Bethel
1. And it came to pass that when this
old fool Morton,-.who was alsctqchan ~n-
godly liar, had made an end of his braying
in the Conrt of Ulysses I, that the other
fools of the Conrt canghtupthe silliness of
the fool’s braying, and they‘did also' bray
aloud against the Kn Klnx, which the
King did see in bis drunken vision.
2. Now this said Coart of . Ulysses the
I was a mixed eonsnrtation of fools and of
rogaes, of thieves and liars —of cadet swin
dlers, of pension stealers, of perjurers and
of bigamists.
3. And there were fools there of all grades
shades, depths, lengths and breadths of nat
oral meanness—from the paritanical hyp
ocrite to the blasphemous spoon stealer.
4. And these fools gathered there from all
parts ot the universal Yankee nation
pay their Conrt to Ulysses the I to do his
bidding, and to bring their bribe offerings
to Ulysses the 1.
5. And in the hearts of these fools there
dwelta great and wicked bitterness against
the people and the laud of the South, aad
especially t gainst the people of the land of
Georgia.
G. 1 or it is an old and a true saying—
that whom men first injure they afterwards
hate.
8. Aud these fools had in the power of
their evil strength stretched forth tboir
bands, and aided by the barbarians and the
heathens who came across the ocean—even
from the isles beyond the seas, sorely smote
the land of the South, despoiled the fairest
of its cities, murdered its ycuag men, out
raged its tender women, stole its slaves,
burned its houses, and carried off as spoils
all the gold and tbe silver, the plate the
books, pictures, statnary, and even de
spoiled the graves of its dead.
9. Yea, all these things, and more too
had these fcols first done unto the land of
the South, and after they had done these
things they could not, io their evil natures,
but hate aud despise the people of the
South whose laud they had thus despoiled
’ 10. Aud it came to pass that among this
congregation of fools and thieves, of rogues
$pd of liars, of perjurors and swindlers, of
murderers aud bigamists, that there wa3
certain noted fool whose name was Bntler
the Beast
11. And this same Bntler tbe Beast was
the greatest rogue, the fonlest liar, the
most treacherous scoundrel, the most impu
dent fool, and the most consumate villian
of ail the rogues and fools that had congre
gated arouod the throne of Ulysses the I.
12. But as for this Ulysses the L be was
only a poor, simple minded fool, whom the
fantastics o> fortune had lifted out of his
drunken mire and placed upon tbe hi.
throne of power.
13. But he meant no harm of himself,
bat was a weak and mewling cat’s paw in
the hands of the other fools whom this
same freak of fortuae had also placed in
power.
14. And this same Butler the Beast who
so far surpassed all the otuer fools in mean
ness and filthiaess, was a man of most un-
racious appearance.
15. The Countenance that rented upon
his beastly face was like unto the coante
nance of Judas Iscariot, the same that went
ant to hang himself—only that tbe counte
nance of this Jndas Iscaiot, was somewhat
softened by the gloom of remorse, whereas
the conntenancc of Butler, tbe Beast still
shown in all the radiance of nnstong infa
I When our farmers abandon cotton and
rn their attention to grain and grasses,
kc care of and improve their stock, and
Ike ti eir own manures, instead of buying
nmercial manures, they will prosper and
hi not be under tbe necessity of drawing
I the next crop for means to make it.—
le raising of grain, stock, establishing
hd schools and manufactories, is what we
Ld, and is what will make ns a prosper-
i people.
The commissions for tho county officers
| been received by the Ordinary. Call
I get them.
[loFFEE Crop—In South America is re-
[short, this news will lengthen the
i of its votaries in North America.
1G. And the face of this same Bntler,
the Beast was as tbe face ot a baboon, his
eyes peered from beneath his shaggy brows
like unto the twinkling glare of a horrid
toad, glowing in the dim of the twilight.
17. And so warped was the sonl - of this
Beast by the evil nature that moved it, that
it shone through his toad like eyes in
crooked and cocked glances.
18. And bis eyes sqainted in various di
rections, even at one and the same time—
one eye looking towards the sky and one
eye looking down to his groveling earth.
19. And the eye that looked towards the
sky was not like unto the bright, gladsome
eye of the innocent child that looketh up
to catch the beauty of the shining stars—
but it was like unto the evil eye of the ser
pent, which looketh up to catch the eye of
the joyous bird that sings so sweetly upon
the bough above him, that it may beguile
and destroy it.
29. And the other eye of the Beast—
even the eye that looketh down to the grov
eling earth, was like unto the guilty eye of
the felon that goeth out to be hanged.
21. And the two cocked eyes ot the
Beast—the one looking up like the-evil eye
of the serpent, ani the other cast down
like the hang dog eye of the thief, did well
become the infamous character of the Boast
lor it showed that he was at once bold
enough to look up to the highest pinaele of
ambition, and mean enough to stoop to the
lowest depths of infamy.
22. And the che?ks of this Beast were
like unto the-cheeks.of a Berkshire pig-
all Btuek out with seurvy fatness.
23. And his chops were like auto the
chops of a bloodhound, and they hung
down in a brutal yawning.
24. And the month of this Beast did
water like the mouth of a toothless viper
doth water in its impotent spite
25. And a 1 ! honest men did shrink from
the presence of this same Bntler the Beast
for they all felt that the poison of asps
under his tongue. *
26. And this same Butler the Beast had
also been a min of war, and a mighty man
of valor.
27. For when the people of tm. land of
the Soutn had been betrayed by the evil
counsel of the Beast, and had arose to shake
off the yoke of the tyrants of.tbe North,
then did this Beast pat on his armor and
come forth to battle against the people of
the South, even the same pen»l-» whom he
had betrayed.
28. And he gathered about him a goodly
number of soldiers, even men oi might and
of valor like himself, and marched against
the rebellions people of the Soutl.
i. And the Beast, together with his
valiant soldiers, did enter into ibe.ships—
even the mighty ships of war, and set sail
for the land of the South, that they mipht
subdqothe rebellions people of the land of
the Sooth
30. And tho ships of war landed the
Beast and the Beast’s soldiers upon the
shores of the land'of the Sontb, and he did
straightway pitch his tents nigh onto a placo_
called Big Behbtf. . '
31. And .then did tbe Beast send forth
his chosen men to spy ont the whereabouts
of the rebels. And when the chosen men
returned from spying out the rebel hosts,
they reported unto the Beast that the rebel
host lay encamped upon a plain which wai
near unto the same Big Bethel, whereby
the Beast was also encamped.
■ 32. And when the chosen men had made
an end of their report to the Beast, then
did the Beast rise np, he and all his host,
and go ont to smite th» rebels.
32. And so the Beast put his soldiers in
battle array, aud they marched forward
with their blight colors flying, and to the
spirited strains oi the fife and drum.
33. And the Beast rode proadly at the
head of bis brave soldiers, and he stuck bis
spurs into the sides of his war horse, that
his war horse might rear aud courvette in a
warlike manner.
34. And all bis soldiers did admire the
bravery of the Beast.
35. And when tbe Bea.t had drawn near
the place where the rebels were encamped,
he beheld a high hill near the read side.
35. Then did the Beast turn aside from
the head of bis brave troops, and aseended
np to the tip of the hill, and he looked
down from the top of the hill over the plain
below.
37. And he behell afar off the rebel
host, as it lay all ready for battle.
33. And lie o tiled his lientenants nn o
him, and he said unto his lientenants, “Be-
hold yonder is the cowardly rebels, go for
ward with onr brave troops and smite them
down, neither suffer one of them to escape
or to live.
39. And while ye arc smiting them, I
will remain here, like Moses of old stood
upon the hilltop in Rephidim, when Josh
ua fought with Amelek.
40. And so the Beasts’ lientenants did
go forward with the brave sol -ieri, but the
Beast remained upon the top of the hiil,
that he might sec the battle from afar off.
41. And the lieutenant and the brave
soldiers that went forward with him, fell up
on the rebels to smite them.
42. But the rebels did not want to be
smited, seeing that they were of a proverse
and obstinate race—yea, more, they actual-
ly refused to be smited, aud when the
Beast’s lieutenant came to th s place where
the rebels were eocamped, and stretehed
forth their bands to smite the rebels, then
did tne rebels tarn npon he Beast’s lieut
enant, and upon the brave soldiers of the
Beast.
43' And they the rebels did themselves
become the smiters, and did smite with a
deadly smite the soldiers of the Beast.
44. And when the Beast did behold from
afar off, tbe smi.ers whom be had sent
forth to smite tho cowardly rebels, becom
ing the smitten, and the cowardly rebels do
ing the smiting, then was the Beist wroth
in his sonl.
45. And the Beast did tear bis hair, and
gnash bis teeth, and atter curse words in
his anger that the cowardly rebels should
refuse to be smitten.
46. And he waved his sword at the cow
ardly rebels, and cried ont at the top of his
voice—“Oh you rebel dogs, I will make
your wives and your children suffer for
this.”
47. Then did the Beast mount his fierce
war horse, and charged back to lis camp—
even onto his camp fast by the sea.
CONGRESSIONAL CONTE!
CASES.
The awards of compensation usually al
lowed defeated contestants for Congression
al seat3. is having a most pernicious ef
fect.
Defeated political hacks whom .the peo
ple have rejected rush at once before Con
gress—suborn a few Degrees and work op
a contested case merely for the purpose-oi
’getting the compensation. A vase io point
is that nf old Elephant Norris, the Skowhe-
gan adventurer in Alabama,who is working
up a case against Handly, who was elect
ed by a han ’some majority of over three
thou-aod.
This big footed scoundrel kuowj very
well that the people of Alabama, not even
the negroes have any further use for him,
and that there- is no shadow of right to
contest tbe seat o’ - Handly, and farther
that there is no hope fir his success, bnt
he makes the coolest lor the sole purpose
of earning a notoriety and of pneleti -g the
compensation allo-ved to cuu.estant-.
This compecsa'ion is nothing more nor
less than a premium placed npon villaioy.
and an inducement for such adventurers
as old Skowheg-m to foreswear themselves
and their ignorant and corrupt tools.
DISINTERESTED AND UNSELFISH.
It is a rare tbi ig to witness snch an ex
hibition of unselfish party devotioi' as that
displayed by the carpet bag Governor oi
Arkansas, in declining a seat in the United
States Senate in order to save the Repub
lican party from disruption.
The news is almost too good to be true,
and even if it is true a» our dispatches re
port, we can not account for the partisan
virtue of the Governor npon any other
ground-, than that the opportunity for steal
ing and oppressing the people, will be
greater as Governor tbaD as Sena
tor. .
It was to get quit ot the scoundrell that
democrats were induced to vote for him as
Senator—and now be is still to remain with
them. Happy Senate—Poor Arlan
-as
Honduras, anxious to be heard of in
the general commotion that is upheaving
the world, has loaded her pop gun and is
popping away at San Salvador. A general,
but feeble fight b repotted, and well can
the Hondnrans afford to die, for they will
all be buried in mahogony coffins.
THE STATE ADVERTISING AND THE
BANNER OF THE CHURCH.
We are glad to see that the Banner of
the Church has seen proper to throw over
board the Jonah of Bullock’s proclamations
The State advertising has become snch a
miserable swindle, and so great au outrage
upon the people, that no paper may expect
to publish it without forfeiting the respect
of all honest people. Every dime Bullock
thus wastes upon the paper is so much stol
en from the people, and unless a paper ex
pects to thrive by ill gotten gains, it cannot
expect to exist, and be the recipient of
Bullock’s favors.
The Banner cf the Church, notwithstand
ing the reproachfnl presence of Bollock’s
advertising, has ever been a welcome visitor
to our table. And now that it has been
purged of that iniquity, it is doubly dear
to ns. We appeal to all churchmen to ac
cord to it a genctpns support. It b worthy
of it.
The Indian Commissioners.—The
committee to investigate tbe Indian comm is
sion, report neglect^ incompeteocy, irregu
larities, and in some instances a departure
from the express prorbion3 of the law by
the commisioner.
And pray what better conld have been
expected from thelnbherheads whom Grant
appointed. The irregularities we suppose
means stealini
The three terriers, Lonis Blanc, Victor
Hugo and the irrepressible Henri Roche
fort, are still saarliag at the big old rat of
Willhelmslioe, aad big with their impor
tance and bursting with hate, they are pre
paring articles of impeachment against Na
poleon.
The Outrageous Committee.—Our
amiable and dtarly beloved friends of the
outrage (oas) committee are still hird at
work, and daily listening to the lies that are
being sworn before them, against the South
era people, and all the while the devil is
switching hb tail
“As a gentleman switches his cane."
To think what a pretty batch of perjured
villains old Morton is working np for him.
Magnificent Premiums.—Fitch of
the Griffin Star, Spieghts of the Atlanta
Sun aad Hemphill of the Constitution all
offer magnificent premiums to the
getter up cf clubs far their respective pa
pers.
To those unacquainted with the parties
the magnitude of the offers wonld induce
the belief that the gentlemen were “goak-
ing” but we know them to be in earnest,
and can vonche for their responsibility —
So premium agents get np and dust
Terrible Explosion.—Another fright
ful record of death b reported from the
colleries of England. Au explosion occnr-
ed in South Wales, and fifty dead bodies
have already been removed. How many
more were killed b not yet known.
The Savannah News with characteristic
hospitality, suggests Savannah as tha
place, and the 1st of May ns tbe time for
the editorial festival, suggested by onr
teemed cote mporayy of the Commer
cial.
Mrs. Sne Pittigrue King bowen appeals
to the memory of her noble father to shield
her worthless husband from the jnst Indig
nation of onr outraged public. She for
feited all claims to tbe memory of her fath
er when she ao outraged die feelings of
the Southern people,who were once ao just
ly proud of her, by marrying thb loathsome
creature.
One of tha most akkning pangs we ever
felt was when we read the announcement
that Mra. Sne Pittigrne King was about
to be married to the carpet-bag scoundrel
and cadet swindbr Bowen.
The wisest things that sho can do is to
let justice take its course and relieve her
name and her life from this degrading al
liance.
A Splendid Exhibit.—There b no
county in tbe State in a better condition
than onr neighboring connty Chattooga.—
Her citizens are peaceable—hospitable and
prosperous, and tbe freedom from crime and
violi ncc is onparalielled.
We are informed that but two cases of
mbdemeanor have been returned to the
approaching Superior Court.
If thb b one of the effects of the terrible
Kn Klnx, would it not be well to recoin,
mend a consideration of their organization
to some of onr more ‘loil’ counties.
Paris.—It has at length been deter
mined that the Pros ians are to enter Par-
b.
Yesterday was the time set apart for the
entry. Every precaution has been taken to
prevent disturbance, and tho heart of the
entire world b praying that none may be
made.
Agricultural Convention.—Thanks
to the energetic hospitality of Gen. Black,
Rome has been selected as the place for
the next meeting of the State Agricultural
Convention.
Our citizens will exert themselves to give
the convention a hospitable any hearty wel-
come.

Peace News in w ail Street.
The stock market has always been one oi
the most sensitise barometers oi political
events, and bas recorded the changes from
peace to war and from war to peace with un
swerving fidelity. Our own stock exchange
is comparatively new in experience of this
character, but, for its time, has enjoyed -
rather lively one.
AVe cannot, of course, point to the frequent
fluctuations in the funds which have entered
so largely into the history of the London Stock
Exchange; for, until onr civil war give us a
great national debt, and its paper money star
tod thousands of railway and other enter-
prises into life, the list at stock board com
prised only a few old fogy affairs, which, if
they moved a quarter or a half per cent, pro-
dneed immense excitement among the content
poreries of Jacob Little.
In fact, it is on record that when, a few
years ago, a man in Wall street drew his
check for a hundred- thoussnd dollars, the
