Thursday Morning, April I 1, 1867.
Wk tnvrrn the aliontlon of our renders totho
following patriotic appeal from tho LADdM of
Jonesboro’—tho quiet town some twenty miles
distant from this city, rendered historical by tho
bloody battles fought around it, in which South
ern and Northern Yirior wa3 tested, and in which
both sections represented there manifested skill
in military science and courage iu tho bloody
contests. To lurry the dead Is a sacred duty.—
Even tho victor upon the field of battle accords
this privilege to tho vanquished. On such occa
sions, however, it is done hastily; often
“The wkJ with tho bayonet turning.
By the etruffgUag moonbeam's mystic light,
Aiul the lantern dimly burning."
So was it at, and in tiro vicinity of, JoNESuono’.
Who will not now assist tho Lambs of that
place to re-inter the Oonkkiikratb Df.au? In
their holy and patriotic work, who will refuse or
neglect to assist them 1
THK BATTI.K OF JONESBORO’—UK-INTKIIINO TIIK
11RAD—AN APPEAL TO Till! PUBt.H’,
Mr. Editor: The ladies of Jonesboro’ and its
vicinity, have formed an association for tire pur
pose of re intering the bones of tire Confkdku-
atk Dead, who were slain in and around the
place on the last of August aud first days of
September, 1804, while lighting for your homes,
and our homes. They were buried, as all others
were, under similar circumstances, and some ol
their bones have not earth enough over them to
protect them trom tire suu, or animals as they
roam around; and it is our desire to gather them
together and place them in a cemetery where
they may be cared for; therefore, we earnestly
solicit aid from our friends, and their friends
lrom a distance, to assist us in so doing. As
there is a large number to be looked after, it will
require a large amount of money to do the work
properly, therefore we sincerely ask the sympa
thy and help of all who are friendly to thie noble
work of humanity and benevolence.

Secret Political Organization*.
Tho Richmond Whig says: “When we look
around us we see the leaders of the ‘ loyalists,’
so-called, straining every nerve to consolidate
and carry the negro vote. To this end they arc
working day and night. It is their sole business,
and they follow it up most diligently. Night
alter night they have meetings aud musterings,
harangues and sermons, singing aud praying—
all looking to political results. The superstitions
of the colored people are availed of, and religion
and radicalism are jumbled together. What the
mock philanthropists delight in calliug the ‘emo
tional nature’ of the negro is played upon, and
an enthusiasm resembling that of their peculiar
religious experience is aroused. These mass-
meetings, committee meetings, ami meetings of
the different societies, all have political signitl-
eance. It begins to be whispered about that,
under the inspiration of cunning white leaders,
a secret political society or league has been
formed, the object of which is to coerce the
whole negro vote. This league is said to have
mysteries and penalties—the one to allure, the
other to frighten the colored people into joining
jJ* it. It is given out that those who do not join
i will be dealt with in some harsh aud mysterious
manner, and that those who join and betray the
the order will he dealt with after a fearful fashion.
It is said that the cunning white leaders are
arranging to employ aud semi their agents and
emissaries through the whole State to open com
munication with the colored people with a view
to concerted action, ami that they offer good pay
to the more intelligent colored men ol this city
to uu IL..UM niiootona. tiiosu wno retuse to
join the league, and those who are disinclined
! jj»' to leave their business to go about on proselyting
'f expeditions, are threatened. There is reason to
T believe that many of the heller class of colored
people who desire to co-operate with tho mass
I f. of white voters, and to choose their candidates
, g from among our most respectable and cultivated
■; j citizens, are being coerced and dragooned int°
|j r this secret league."
What is written oi llichmond iu the foregoing,
i'-’t we regret to say, may be written of Atlanta.
!fjf Especially is it true that cunning white lenders
in this community are making every effort to
! seduce colored men of influence to become
; r i members of their “ order,” and we have reason,
i too, to believe in many instances without mtc-
cess. Alas! for the “ loaves and fishes" ot'oflice,
• to what may not covetous politicians resort!
What a contrast may be drawn between him
; ‘i who would promote by every effort peace and
tf'.jl goodwill between tiie white and colored races
3? *• of the South, and hirn who would secretly strive
j’ •> to array the one against the other in order to
j, s secure a mere political triumph! But it is true,
), | and “ pity 'tis, ’tis true,” that there are men so
|-| constituted, whose ambition of petty distinction
knows no bounds, and who, as the poet lias
5; i written, think 'twere
»“ Better to reign in hell than nerve in Heaven."
w ;L Would that this were not so, but ns it takes
■t “all kinds of people to constitute mankind," we
fi must submit to what we cannot prevent.
'■* Golden Hewn,
t- The Dahlonega (Ga.) Signal in its last issue
announces that “James A. Dupee, V. H. Hand,
% and Harvey King of Boston ; Henry G. May-
;• nard of Nevada, and F. W. Hunt of California,
-* have all been in Dahlonega for the past week,
:f inspecting the mining operations, with a view of
!, investing in property for the furtherance of our
['mineral resources—most of whom now own
‘ stock in the various companies operating in this
k neighborhood."
j Of tho “Nacoochco .Mines” it also says : “We
had the pleasure of meeting, during the week
;'just passed, .41 r. K. J. Harmon, of the Nacoo-
cbeo Hydraulic Mining Company, who gives
a glowing account of the mining prospect in
f that neighborhood. They are operating on the
Hydraulic principle, and the mines bid fair lo
pay a handsome income on the money invested.
[Mr. Harmon is satisfied with the prospect in
this country, and thinks that, notwithstanding
the condition of our national aftaira, capital
^.will seek investment in tho mining property Af
fithis gold belt. The bright prospects of all
ithe mines in this country is encouraging, and as
we have often repeated, this gold region will
yet be classed among the richest in the world.”
■Trull Prospects In iho IVM.
Whilo mourning us we do over the destruction
if the fruit crop in this section of our State, and
nail Upper Georgia, it is gratifying to kuow that
he prospects in the West are most flattering lor
|in abundant crop. Of this the Fitlsburg Com-
nercial, in referring to it, says : “ Meanwhile we
'nay pleasantly congratulate ourselves upon the
littering promise of an abundance of fruits. The

Philadelphia, April 0,'18(17.
Gentle spring, in all her “cthcrial mildness,"
has come at lost. The first lino weather of
spring, I think, wo appreciate more than that of
any other lime in tho year. We hail the warm
sunshine with more delight, because wo have
been so long without It. Our principal streets,
of au afternoon, now present a gay aud hustling
sceno—tho ladles, in tho bright, iresh colei's of
their spring costumes, gathering in full force.
COMMERCIAL.
Trade during the past week has been very
dull, and prices are unsettled. Cotton is shaky,
and rattier lower, the latest quotation being a
fraction below 80 cents fur both descriptions.
THE SOUTHERN FAMINE RELIEF FUND,
Started about a lortnight ago, stood, on tho
80th ulL, nt some $18,000. It will now be con
siderably more; probably not far short of $25,-
000. Considering the tierce lire ol Radicalism
which rages bore, with Forney ns hcliows-blower,
and that part of tho programme of said Radi
calism is "reconstruction" of the New Testa
ment, by striking the word "charity" completely
out of it, tho above sum need not give rise to
disappointment. Still, one cannot forget what a
big city this h), ami the enormous wealth of our
mercantile community.
THE SUNDAY CAR HILL
Has been knocked on the hem! by tho Senate,
nt Harrisburg, a motion to refer ttic matter to
tiie votes of our citizens, on which the fate of
the bill was made dependent, having been voted
down. Senator Lowrie denounced tiie measure
as “an infernal entering wedge of sin," and said
"tiie cars would be filled with shoulder-hitters,
and loose characters, aud woutil lake them all
to hell." Commenting on tiie assertion that the
bill was for the good of a very large portion of
the community, lie remarked that “the devil,
clean shajen aud dressed like a gentleman, hail
come into tire Senate, and coolly proposed to
enter into partnership with tiie Lord.” To which
a brother Senator retorted that “au evil soul pro
ducing Holy Writ is like a villain with a smiling
cheek; a goodly apple rotten at tho core.” Such
are the Senatorial amenities at Harrisburg. This
is the same Lowrie whose “little bills” were
characterized in tiie Senate, a short time ago, as
requiring extraordinary vigilance to keep lime
witli them.
A SERMON.
A few Sundays ago one of our most popular
clergymen delivered a sermon here, to which I
omitted to refer in my last, but which was re
markable enough to be worthy of mention now.
Tiie church was crammed in every nook and
corner—Hie pulpit stairs being covered with a
trail of enthusiastic hearers, tiie highest-perched
of whom seemed to lie clinging to Hie knees ol
their beloved pastor. Tiie fascinating subject was
“newspapers”—those of the City of Brotherly
Love in particular. Our dailies, tiie reverend
gentleman considered as deserving ol praise. He
even referred to the Copperhead "Age" as an
organ of public beneficence. But a large por
tion of our periodical press lie described as
"gorged witli most supernatural abominations,”
aud iu this connection went on to remark that
“the supply of had papers iu our city does not
meet the iiisutiublc demand of our people lor re
fuse, and garbage, and moral swill. There are
papers in this town which long ago came to
pcrlection ol moral shamelessness, and there is
no more power in venom, inuck, ami sliuic, lo
pollute them. The victims oi these recking,
stenchful, accursed sheets, are hell-iunumerable.”
This passage, which I quote ns spoken, not only
evinces a tine appreciate ol the calumessami dign i
ty of clerical condemnation, but proves, also, that
the worthy pastor lias becu a careful student of
tho obnoxious journals iu question. Like many
more, I certainly was not aware that an evil so
shocking and of such magnitude, existed amongst
u», mi our pel minister went exploring for the
benefit of the unwary. But tiie conclusion of
his instructive discourse was the most striking,
when, in a burst of that high order of eloquence—
I menu Hie Congressional—lie told us that the
coming ol our Lord would lie telegruphcd to every
corner of tiie globe from some “ central point,"
and announced iu Hie morning papers as the last
dispatch. Whether the admiring congregation
regarded this as an improvement upon the lan
guage of Bt. Pnui, in Corinthians, ou the same
subject, there is no means ot knowing, but your
readers, like myself, I fancy, will be inclined to
look upon it as neither more nor less tliuu blas
phemous nonsense. It is certainly instructive as
showing what ridiculous autics a straining alter
the sensational iu the pulpit may lead a man to
perform, however well-intentioned his zeal.
AMUSEMENTS.
At tho theaters, there is nothing of much in
terest. Miss Lucille Western, an uctrcss ol wide
celebrity, is performing at the “ Walnut,” in sur
prising variety ot pieces, to crowded houses.—
She is very popular here, but coldly supported
by the press, and 1 think with justice. With
occasional flashes of fine acting, her style is op
pressively conventional and stagy. She is ad
mirably adapted to stirtlicsonls ofthe “ ground
lings,” but to tiiose who remember and appreci
ate the advice of Hamlet to the players, she is
more versatile than refined; more vigorous than
intellectual. She is wofully addicted to male
characters, and plays Uieni as to sex with un
pleasant fidelity. By the way, why do “ great
actresses” stretch their words like india rubber?
Why h-heart for heart, and so on f And why do
they always lorget that queens, out oi tragedy,
at any rate, are not iu tiie habit of walking
with a general expression of contempt? At least,
as far as I know, and I have been within a yard
or two of the British Queen, tho Empress of tiie
French and other royal personages, and didn’t
feel at all inclined to run away. 1 saw dignity,
but noting to freeze the soul. But the “great
actress" of your pure “groundling" is a time-
honored institution which moved most of us in
youth witli awe and wonder, aud is, therefore,
associated with many pleasant memories. A
blessing on it, and long may it prosper. On
Monday a short opera season commences at the
“ Academy of Music ” with Madame Parepa and
other artistes of high renown. C. T. F.
Stay at Home.
The Bainbridge Argue in its last issue says it
is “’informed that Mr. Wm. Tonga, son ot S.
Davis Tonge, Esq. of Bainbridge, Georgia, has
just returned lrom Brazil, whither lie had been
on a tour of inspection. He represents the pros
pects there, we learn, as gloomy, in the extreme,
and lie is satisfied to remain in Southwestern
Georgia. Families who were in affluent circum
stances here, ure almost in distress in Brazil.—
Those who have the Brazil fever hereabouts
should see Mr. Touge, and obtain ids views of
the country, and its prospects."
And those who have the Brazil, nr any other
foreign lever hereabouts, had better deliberate
long ere they abandon this good old common
wealth of Georgia, for distant foreign climes. If
the political cloud xvhigh hangs over Hie South
is, to them, unbearable, let it he remembered Hint
political clouds hang over other countries, not
one ol which is so certain of their being dis
pelled in time as in tiie South. Stay nt home,
and “bear the ills we have," rattier than “fly to
others that we know not ol."
Mb. Tilman Gregory, a very wealthy plan
ter residing near Augusta, Ark., fell into an
altercation over a game of cards with a Dr.
Damerson, in the course of which the latter
drew u pistol uud shot the former in the hip.
■Mr. Gregory being in liquor, taunted him for not
shooting belter than that. Dr. Dameron, who
was also intoxicated, fired again, shooting him
this lime iu Hie breast. Mr. Gregory placed his
hand upon Ills pistol, and taking deliberate aim
nt the Doctor, shot him through Hie heart.
Gregory's shot look eflect almost mslaotaueously
iu Damerou’a heart, and both fell dead together.

said county, beg leave to make tho following pre
sentments: . —
Wc, through our several committees, have ex
amlncd cur county offices, Clerk’s office Superior
Court, Clerk's office Inferior Court, Judge, Or
dinary’s office, and Sheriff's office and hooks,
aud find them all neatly and correctly kept.
Wo have examined the public buildings, and
find the court house iu need of some repairs, and
tho jail house in u very dilapidated condition,
and wo would, therefore, recommend tho Inferior
Court to havo tho jail houso immediately re
paired. We find tho most of our public roads In
very bad condition, and would recommend the
Inferior Court lo liavo them worked ns soon ns
convenient.
Wo linve also examined tiie County Transit
rcr’a books, nml find that lie has received $1,540
county script, $020 04, and orders. $800 25—mak
ing $2,822 20, aud lias paid out $1,308 48, county
script, $022 04 ; orders, $800 25; commissions,
$141 11, and cash on hand to balance, $100 41—
making Hie aggregate amount of $3,822 20, the
amount received.
We have also examined the poor school lund,
and find that the Ordinary lias received $1,008 88
county script, and lias paid out $908 00, leaving
on hand a balance of $5 32. We recommend
tbe Inferior Court to levy a tax of 25 per cent,
on the Slate tux for educational purposes, for the
year 1807; also, 124 per cent for tiie use of the
poor.
We have examined tiie office of the County
Judge, and find his books, dockets and records
arc all kept in neat order, and in a tangible form.
The insolvent account presented by tiie officers
of the County Coart, was laid on the table with
out approval.
Tiie Overseer of Poor has received no iunds
since 1804, for the reason that there lias been
none raised until 1800, and the amount hns not
been received. We recommend the Inferior
Court to place tiie following names ou tho pau

Colonel Henry Asliby In the Clinton Jail
The Nashville Banner of, Wednesday says,
“From a gentleman who left Clinton, East Ten
nessee, on tho 38th nit., and arrived here last
night, we gather some painful details ns to the
condition oi Colonel Harry JI. Ashby, who was
arrested in Henderson county, a few weeks
since, tinder au indictment for murdering “some
one, name unknown,” during the second year of
the war. Our informant stales that, in spite of
the efiorts ot Col. Ashby’s counsel to secure his
release, bail is persistently refused ; and that, so
bitter are the animosities which tiie enemies of
this gallant hut unlortanate ex-Confederate have
excited against him, the prospect of any legal
process being successfully employed in his lav
is entirely hopeless.
Not content with tiie cruelties already L.
dieted, and ot holding him for a future meek-
trial, under the absurd accusation of murder
ing “some one, name unknown,", an eflorl was
made in Morgan county last week to find an
other indictment against him lor tiie murder of
an old man named Staples.
Col. Ashby is at present confined in tiie
smallest and darkest dungeon of tiie Clinton
county jail, in company with three notorious
thieves, whose presence the malignity of his
persecutors lias purposely thrust upon him.
The place is filthy in tbe extreme, and swarm
ing with vermin. Even tiie light and warmth
of the sun are denied him. Unitor such circum
stances, it is hardly to be wondered nt that
Col. Ashby’s friends entertain serious fears that,
should he be fortunate enough to survive the
hardships to which lie is now subjected, his
health will be permanently injured.

Mr. L. M. Crane, who lias a paper mill near
lnlston Spa, N. Y., lias recently perfected an
invention that will interpose a greater bar to
counterfeiting than any yet made. He 1ms in
vented machinery by which minute threads ot
gutta perclm are run into sheets ot bank-note
paper, in the course of its manufacturing, where
by the printing becomes indellilile, and cannot
he counterfeited. He proposes to offer liis in
vention to Hie l niteil -States Government, so
Hull it can mamilnclure tiie piper for all national
bank-notes, Hie Same as it does their engraving
and printing.
His plan'contemplates making cacli denomi
nation differently, us it is perfectly practical with
his machinery. Tlius one dollar bills will have
one thread each, uud twodollnrbillstwotbrends,
five dollar bills three threads; then four threads’
for tens; five lor twenties, six lor fifties, seven
for one hundreds, eight for five hundreds, and
nine lor thousands. If the United States Gov
ernment secures this invention, it can be used for
bonds and coupons u]so. Mr. Crane has in ope
ration in his mill (where he is now making paper
collars) a machine by which a thin layer ot gutta
perclm is incorporated within each sheet of
paper. A company lias been formed with a cap
ital ot one hundred thousand dollnrs to work
this invention.—Times, Troy, New York.
TnE Effect of a Vote.—The New Orleans
Times sees the value of the negro vote, and im
presses its readers witli tiie (act that by its aid
the now disfranchised leaders may be restored
to their ancient influence. It says;
To render these natural results the more sure
and certain, it behooves our citizens to extend to
this class of our people every kindness, encour
agement and aid in the exercise oi their new
rights. Not by partisan organizations; not
through secret and illegal organizations; not
through demagogic acts and delusions ; but by
acts of real genuine kindness and prudent coun
sol, each citizen exercising within his proper
sphere these just and proper influences, we shall
be enabled to convert that which was intended
for our punislimentrinto a means of ameliorating
our own condition and that of the colored peo
ple. All pre existing prejudices should be sur
rendered and abandoned. Everything like taunt,
ridicule, or unkindness, must he avoided. Tiie
political equality created by tiie law must be
not only ungrudgingly, but even cheerfully ac
knowledged and acquiesced in. By this course
we need ask nothing more of General Slieridau
than wlmt we believe lie will take good care
shall be enforced—a faithful compliance with the
honest execution of the act ol Congress.
Gold no Longer “Currency," but a “Com
modity.”—An important decision with reference
to tiie payment ol debts contracted upon the ba
sis of a loan in gold aud silver, by the tender of
paper money, has just been rendered by the Su
preme Court of New York.
In May, 1840, William Harrison executed his
bond to Isaac Bronson in the penalty of $8,000,
conditioned to pay in gold and silver coin ot tiie
standard by which the coins of the United States
were regulated, with interest at the rate ot seven
per cent, per annum. Certain property was
mortgaged as collateral to secure tiie payment of
the bond. Tim mortgaged property was sold,
aud payment was demanded ot principal aud in
terest in gold and silver. Tiie court decided,
that in spile of the express stipulations of tiie
bond of 1848, the amount oi Hie bond might ho
paid in legal tenders, holding that "an agreement
to pay iu gold caunot lie legally enforced, though
treating gold as a commodity,, a contract tor its
purchase or snlo is perfectly sate and proper.”—
The decision is to the effect “that the result of
the Legal Tender act is that gold hns practically
censed to lie currency, aud become exclusively u
commodity.”
Death of an Eminent Mahon.—The Ma

iu Hie recent death oi tiiu Rev. Brother George

most voluminous writers on subjects of ancient

numerous, and constitute within themselves u

years and usefulness, very much beloved aud
honored to the last.
Mrsaeli of Frouqlne,
R is not pfton that wo are called upon to
chronicle tho trial of a case whloh oalls forth as
much intorost ns one which camo up in our
Circuit Court last week. Tito trial referred to
wa# that of Anna Butts v». James A. Wilson, for
breach of marriago contract, in which damages
to tiie amount of $10,000 were claimed, Tho
plaintiff resides In Pilot township, Vermilion
county, and the defondaut in tills county. Ac
cording -to tho evidence tho marriage contract
was entered into in the latter part of September,
1880, and tiie wedding day fixed for October 30th,
following. Only a few dfiys prior to tho time
appointed, however, the dulcmlunt informed tlia
plaintiff Hint lie could not fulfill his engagement
on account of certain reports derogatory to her
character, which Were in circulation in the neigh
borhood where lie resided. Tho plaintiff and
her father then camo to tills county lor tho pur
pose of clearing up these reports, and lo do so
had the parties from whom they camo brought
bclorc a Magistrate, where tho slanders wore
iouiul to consist of nothing but tiie garrulous
twitterings of some gossipy old woman. Tiie
defendant, however, still refused to make good
ids promise, aud proceedings were instituted
ngainsf him accordingly. The trial occupied a
day aud a ball, and was listened to with the
most eager attention by Hie spectators, who filled
every loot of room iu tho old court house.
Atler a very brief deliberation tiie jury return
ed n verdict lor the plaintiff, assessing damages
nt $8,250.
Miss Butts, the plaintili, is a young lady of 27;
rather good looking, ol considerably more than
ordinary intelligence, and lias evidently been
carefully brought up. Her bearing throughout
the trial was of the most lady-like character,
and impressed every one with tiie conviction
that she was actuated by no revengeful motives,
buf only cared that her good name might not
suffer lrom" tiie unfortunate circumstances in
which she was placed, indeed we do not re
member of ever having seen a womau bear lip
so well under such a trying ordeal. During her
examination on the witness' stand she never he-
enme confused for a single moment, but told a
plain, straightforward story that could not hot
be considered truthful.
The defendant, Mr. Wilson, is the senior of
Miss Butts, was born and raised in this county,
and bears an irreproachable character. He was
a Lieutenant in the 41st Illinois regiment during
the war, and is well spoken of by all who knew
him. We did not hear Ids testimony, iiut learn
ed that it differed from that of the plaintiff only
in the fact that he considered a certain conversa
tion had between the parties, as a release from
the engagement, and on this hinged the whole
case. That he tailed in his defense is certainly
not owing to ids attorneys, Messrs. Gallagher &
Bunn, who labored dilligeutly ior his success.—
The counsel for tiie plaintiff, Messrs. Nelson &
Crea, did their whole duty, managing the case
with great skill. Much sympathy was felt and
expressed for both parties by the spectators, all
agreeing that it was a shame to spoil a good
match all for tiie sake of an idle taie set afloat
by some aged females who would liavo been
' otter employed ii
business.—Decatur Gazette.
All Exchange of Wives—Another Murder.
Another murder occurred about ten miles from
the city on Sunday night, about eight o’clock, in
which the victim was a colored man, who, witli
tiie murderer, was residing on Hie plantation of
Captain John F. Tucker. It appears that the
deceased, Cain Cummings, conceived a great pas
sion lor the wife of one July Green. He made
known his love for her, and by a steady applica
tion oi his suit, succeeded in inducing her to de
sert with him unknown to her husband. They
left the plantation together, Cummings leaving
his wife behind. As soon as Green became con
vinced ot Hie intention ol Ids faithless wife, lie
succeeded in inducing tiie wife of Cummings to
come aud live with him. They lived together
about fourteen days, when Cummings, after pass
ing Ids scandalous and unlawful honeymoon, re
turned. Upon finding that liis wife hail taken
up will* Green, lie became greatly incensed, and
challenged Green to mortal combat. Green re
fused to accept, when Cummings left,’swearing
that lie would be revenged, lie returned in a
short time, armed with a gun, and apparently
convinced that both parties were wrong. lie
again challenged Green, who again refused to
fight, Cummings then deliberately raised the gun
and fired, tiie shot taking effect in Green’s
arm, producing a very dangerous wound. Mad
dened by Hie pain, Green sprang upon Cum
mings, and lining a very powerful man, he felled
him to tiie ground, aud, seizing a club, lie beat
him to death, litternlly mashing the skull to a
jelly.
Alter he had committed the murder, he ran to
tiie river, aud jumping into a boat, paddled to
tiie Carolina side. This was evidently a ruse to
avoid detection, us he caine tothiacity. He was
pointed out to a policeman by a colored man
yesterday afternoon, and was arrested aud taken
to the Barracks, from whence he was taken be
fore Judge Ilusscll, who committed him to jail
for examination.—Savannah News it Herald.
A Subterranean City Discovered in Cbn«
tral Asia.—Foreign journals report that a sub
terranean city lias been discovered in tiie vici
nity of Fort No. l,oii the Sir-Darya river, in
Turkislan, Kirghistan settlers having undertaken
to furnish bricks to Major Ymii, tiie Russian
commandant of tiie fort, brought him such
curious specimens of tho required article that lie
was led to Inquire whence they hud procured
them. On their taking him to the place, the ex
istence of a subterranean city of vnst extent was
soon apparent to Hie astonished Russians. The
place seems to have been originally built on tiie
Lake Avel, but by tiie receding of tiie water is
now at some distance from its shores, and in the
course of time has been covered up by sand and
alluvial deposits. Whether it belongs to Ihe
ancient Parthian, or, comparatively speaking,
modem Dshungariau poriod of Turanian his
tory, lias not yet been ascertained. A guard lias
been stationed on the spot to protect the mys
terious city from depredations, until the arrival
of further orders from 'the Governor of Oren
burg.
Remarkable Movement Among the Jews
at Bombay.—The following statement is repre
sented by the London Jcms/t Intelligencer to be
made on the authority of the Indian Porlugeza,
a Portuguese journal published at Gon:
Great excitement lias been caused among the
Jews at Bombay by the publication by their
pontiff, H. B. Koyn, member ol the family of
Aaron, who hns fately come to Bombay lrom
Jerusalem, of a pamphlet, under the title, “ The
voice of the vigilant ’—the object ot this voice
being to persuade the Jews that it is useless
waiting longer for tiie promised Messiah, as this
is Jesus Christ himself, whose doctrines liavo
been spread all over the world without sound or
force.
The voice is said to use arguments which are
solid and conclusive. “ Compare," says tiie pon
tiff, “the Old and New Testaments, and the
truth tviil be seen." He also adds that lie was
born in the old law, and under it was elevated
to the pontificate, but the light has already pene
trated witli its rays into the deep recesses of the
mind, and lie is llierclore persuaded, and with
well-founded reasons, that it is in vain that Hie
Messiali is now looked (or.
A South Carolina correspondent of tho New
York Times, says it is clear the colored men will
not vote as a'linit. He says there are three
classes. First, those who were free before tiie
war, and who will vote with the old white popu
lation ; second, the idlers who have left the plan
tations and live a thriftless life, who will go the
most Radical ticket they can find ; third, the
largest class oi all, who work and thrive, and
who are inclined to support the Republican cause,
but will do as their interest dictates. They, how
ever, derive their employment lrom white men,
and will consequently be much influenced by
them. They will not lie likely to put their live
lihood in jeopardy for any mere political end.—
The writer concludes thus; “In view oi these
facts, I tind that the shrewdest observers here are
of opinion that either a majority of the blacks
will be found supporting the whites at the polls,
or that if this should not be the case, the Ireed-
nien’a vote will he divided so as lo become a mat
ter of little comparative importance."
Coming out from the Foul Party.— 1 The
Jackson,Tennessee, Whig says:
Captain Asa Hays, belter known as “Black
lawk,” who commanded a company in Iho
Federal army, from Henderson county, during
the laic war, made a speech in Lexington last
Monday, in which lie declared himself opposed
to Brownlow, and in luvor of Conservative
principles. He’thought it all wrong to exclude
a man from voting merely because he hail been
iu the “rebel" army, lie does not believe that
