The Savannah Daily Herald. MONDAY. AUGUST *«, 1805. Prospcrtlve Ktw Slat*-.. Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska and New Mexico, five out of the ten territories, may be expected to candidate before the next j Congress for admission to full sisterhood, it is only lately that the public attention has been sufficiently withdrawn from more ab sorbing objects, to take in the fact that during all me waste of war there has been a surprising process of growth going on in tliu remote West: a fact which has the most im portant political as well as commercial bear ings. Colorado has now only to torm a proper State Constitution to secure its ad mission : its population is variously estima ted some say sixty, others eighty thousand; even at the first estimates having almost doubled since the census of 1860. This pop ulation has mainly bean drawn to Colorado iiv the gold mining, which differs from that oi California in the comparative absence ot placer diggings;" quart;-mining is the busi ness of Colorado, requiring heavy invest ments of capital in machinery, and tending apparently to produce permanent improve ments and comparatively stable communi ties. The field there for quart7-minmg seem to be abundant; only the Pacific ranroad is needed to lessen the present great expense of transporting the heavy macbineiy trom the East Agriculture offers to emigrants the attractions of a productive soil in the valleys, and a high range of price l ''. Idaho and Montana, a vast expanse, are noth drawing population fast with the miner’s loadstone, and will each, it is thought, num ber near one hundred thousand inhabitants before the year ends. Nebraska is nearer, has been before the public longer, and is thought to have over fifty thousand inhabitants, gathered in a more steady way of growth ; a good climate and soil. New Mexico is old enough to come in as regards date of settlement, which was made by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. It has about one hundred thousand ■if population, about one third Indians. The next Congress will probably have on its hands, in addition to the serious problems which are already under discussion among ihe people, the question of admitting to our fellowship five new States; and States, more over, consecrated by nature to free labor. In the influence which these to-be-States may exercise upon our national councils, may be found, perhaps, one of the means by which our deliverence is to be effected from the po litical perils which threaten us.— Hartford (Conn.) Press. I .xtraordtnary Crime—A Man Waylaid, Robbed, and Thrown Over a Ledge of Rock*. About 9 o’clock on Saturday night, as a young man named Frank Halstead, residing in the vicinity of the Five Corners, Hudson City, was parsing down the long line of steps leading from the public grounds on Mount Pleasant, Berglu Hill, to the plank walk across the meadow in the rear of Jersey City, he was set upon by two highwaymen, who knocked him insensible with a club, robbed him, and then threw him over a ledge of rocks, where the poor man lay for several hours in an unconscious state, in a terribly bruised and lacerated condition, caused by tailing upon a pile of sharp and jagged stones, the refuse from a quarry. The facts of the case are as follows: ' About 6 o’clock on Saturday afternoon young Halstead, who is a nephew of “Uncle Tommy Weldon," who was the owner ofMount Pleasant, until it was recently purchased and fitted up for a public resort, and who had resided on the place with his uncle for a number of years, called upon liis friend Micky Free, the pedestrian, whom he invited to accompany him up to the old homestead to see how it looked since it had been fitted up for a public resort Micky accepted the invitatiou and the two spent a couple of hours at the grounds, du ring which young Halstead treated those present liberally with lager, getting a couple of five dollar bills changed to pay for it, and talking somewhat in a boasting manner of being worth a considerable amouut of money. At the time, a stranger sat near the company, but took no part ia their soi iable chat About 8 o’clock, Micky Free returned home and retired for the ni"ht, Halstead concluded to go home o the lie Corners by a sho er route. About 9 o'clock, the citizens along Newark-ave., at the oatskirtsof Jersey City, were startled by piercing and repeate'd cries of murder in the direction of the foot of the stairs leading to Mount Pleasant, and search was instituted but no person could be found who knew anything of the matter. On Sunday' morning, Micky Free, fearing thal harm had befallen his triend, proceeded to Mount Pleasant to make inquiries, but could team nothing further than that a bun dle and hat had been picked up on the steps, and upon their being shown to him he at once identified them as the property ot Halstead. Among other articles, the bundle had con tained a pair of new pantaloons, which were missing. Micky Free then proceeded to Halstead’s residence, and found him lying there in a terribiy bruised and mangled state, his head badly swolen and bruised, and his bodily injuries ot a serious nature, being blackened and lacerated, and causing him to raise considerable quantities of blood.— Halstead states that he started for home down tt e long stairway, when some person approached him from behind and knocked him down with a club. He quickly regained his feet, and ran down the steps with all pos sible speed, crying “Murder!" but the ruf flans again overtook and struck him a second blow across the side of the face, when he tell and became insensible. The ruffians then rifled his pockets of about $8 in money, and when he returned to consciousness about 2 o’clock in the morning, he found himself ly ing upon a heap of stones at the foot of a ledge of rocks some 25 feet high, where the robbers had thrown him. Being unable to stand from the injuries sustained, he crawled on bis bauds and knee3.to a spring of water about thirty rods distant, across the New Jersey Railroad track, and, after bathing Ids Head and drinking the cool water, revived somewhat, when with great difficulty he made hia way home, arriving there about 5 o’clock in the morning ; and a physician be ing called in, and after being properly cared for, appeared much better 'during the day, but yesterday was much worse, and it is feared that the Injuries may terminate fatally No clue as to the whereabout of the robbers has yet been obtained, but every effort will be made to bring them to justice. ab Extraordinary Story. The London (C. W.) Frea Press tells the following extraordinary story about a man who was without food for three weeks, and who became a “living skeleton •" An American named James Ruth employed by our townsman, Mr. Hunt, at the Sells Mill in Southwold, left his work last iym Jul» for the purpose of returning to bis home m the States. On the same day he arrived at and dined in Fort Stanley, but finding no vessel there which answered his purpose he took the lake shore road westward, intending to spend a few days harvesting among the miners in the neighborhood Before climb ing the bank, he, being hot, resolved to re fresh himself by a bath in the ripling waves of Lake Erie. He lelt a little sick in the water, and the next thing he remembers is finding himself naked on the sandy shore, with a consciousness of having drank raven ously of water to assuage his great thirst.— He was a day or two getting on bis clothes; his skin was cracked on his face and other places, and filed with sand, and he was so weak that he failed many times in the arduous labor. of climbing the bank. This he at last accomplished °aly cu Saturday, the * 6th of August, when ha, unable to climb' a fence, made signs to two men in the field, who, un -ortu&teiy for him, bad come to make a bar bo?.t^omo Bbee P- The two peraons hn”?®* ™ cPher * on > farmer, and Mr. Blake, At first thev took the sol- X* . g / or ' oDle wandering luditn, but . doubts decided, as they saw him i be drunk or Injured, and 1 “ ?a fWolved to see what be was. tVhen they came to him, imagine their horror and surprise at the sight of a living skeleton— a veritable live shadow of death I This extraordinary case is to be accounted for by the supposition that Mr. Rush, who was a stout, hearty man, had had s sunstroke and an aitack of typhoid fever, during wbicli he in some way bad obtained water trom the lake, the only support except bis own flesh P» the demands of a consuming fever for seventeen days ? His legs are now, as Mr. Hunt has remarked, ‘like pipe-stems’: but he Is now carefully tended and cared for by Mr. McPherson, whose kindness will, we hope, soon restore this unfortunate mnn to health and friends and usetulne9s. Reported Oltkagk bv a New Exo lasd | Officer. —The Newbern correspondent »f the New York Tribuue writes as follows : In the town of Newbern lives a wor thy old black woman, who years ago receiv ed, from some friendly while family moving from the town, the present of an old sash ioned bat a large and fine mirror. A Major of a New England regiment, whose quat - : ters were in the neighborhood, had noticed J this showy piece of furniture, and, as hi® wife was about to make him a visit, begged ! its loan for the adornment of his room, with j the promise of its careful return upon the departure of his wife. Months passed, and no return of the looking-glass, until the old colored woman, learning that the regiment wa9 about to move, ventured to caU on the Major and bring his promise to his attention. Nov, mark how this Yankee Major honored bis uniform. He assured the old Auntie that he had not the most distant thought of returning the glass; that no nigger could have such an article of furniture unless she had stolen it; and, at any rate, the glass suited his purpose, and be intended to keep it. Upon lror pleading his promise, and' telling _ him of bis attachment to the article ns a present from a family to whom ahe was long attached, the honorable Major grew vexed and angry, and taking the splendid mirror from the wall placed It upon the floor, stamping upon it with his brute heels uutil it was a thousand fragments, mockingly told the old woman she might tako her glass home. She goes to the Provost Marshal witli her atory, only to be answered by the derisive laugh of that functionary and all bis clerks. A North Carolina Watkri.no Place.— A correspondent of the Cincinuati Gazette, writing from Danbury, N. 0., says: Danbury is In a hilly, almost mountainous region, extending a considerable distanoe eastward, and traversed by the railroad from Danville. It abounds in clear stream®, whose fringesof willow and alder, and mossy banks ovei hanging deep pools, are wonder fully suggestive of brook trout. In the edge of the town it a cemetery so old that none know Its origin, and the names and dates have become illegible. It It no longer used except as a browsing place for sheep. Two miles from the place are the Pied mont Springs, an i, as at the North, the sea son here is more lively than since the war began. It is a noted place for the State, and is crowded. But let no one suppose that any of the fashions or follies of Newport or Saratoga have penetrated this wild district. Going to “ the Springs ” means something very dif ferent here. It involves the use of an ox cart or a wagon to haul such articles as your fancy raav suggest, or you may be able to furnish from vonr home' down in the State, to one of the little ten bv twelve log cabins which you can hire here' and keep house in through the season, provided you can bring corn and bacon enough over the rough roads to last as long. There Is no hotel, and all are thrown upon their own resources. Chaplain Trumbull writes to the Spriug fleld Republican as follows about Jeff. Davis "For an hour each day Davis walks out on the brick pavement before the rows of prisonere’ casemates, or on the parapet above. He comes from his room attended by the iffleerof the day and followed Immedia ely by two soldiers of the guard with their rifles. Gen. Miles is usually present when he takes this Walk, sometimes accompanying him, at others sitting where he can watch film Davi9 has allowed bis moustache and lull beard to grow, they with bis hair being quite gray. He wears green goggles with wire gauze frames. His dress ts a loose yet well tilting suit of rebel grey, with a’ bioad briuimed, soft- felt hat. His step is firm and his bearing erect. There is nothing in his appearance to Indicate exhaustion of body, nor yet severe mental anguish. His answers to casual remarks of the officer accompany ing him are in a prompt and cheerful tone." North Carolih?— Newbern, N. C., Aug. 20.—Tue health of Newborn coniiDue9 good. There i9 no possible danger of the reappear ance of the yellow fever which visited this city lo3t season. Ordinary lumber is selling here for lorty dollars a thousand, notwithstanding heavy timber land can be purchased for five and and ten dollars per acre on the river bank?, a few miles below the city. The demand for bouse* is great, and the rents are so high that ordinary houses ou business streets pay lor themselves nearly twelve times a year. A French paper tells a story of a duel be tween two gentleman, who were so equally matched with the sword and pistol that they decided to tight with cigars, two ot which were prepared externally alike, but one was to be loaded so as to explode and prove mor tal to the smoker Lota were drawn and the weeds were lighted. After a few pufls, an explosion took place, and the duellist fell on his back. He was presently picked np, and with tbe exception of a blackened eye wa9 found to be unhurt. Thife seeondVbari only pnt in a little piece of gun cotton, and the effair ended as it had begun—in smoke. DrATH of Jesprr Harbiko. —Philadelphia, Aug. 21.—Jesper Harding, collector of in ternal revenue of the First Congressional district, and formerly publisher of the Penn sylvania Inquirer, died this moraine, at the residence of bis son, W. W, Hardtop. Chest nut Hill, aged G 5 Years. Mr. flarfling was the oldest newspaper publisher in this country. “Want to see Grant mighty bad, do you ?" said a blue coated veteran to the peo ple crowding aboard the cars the other morning, on their way to the capital to get aeouintatour famous general general.— “W-a-a-11, why In thunder didn't you come down to the front, when he wanted to see you, hey WattrvilU, Me., Mail. Eastern Virginia is overrun by horse thieves, who steal from farmers without res pect to their political sentiments. These gangs are composed of returned rebels, who have a well arranged system for running off stolen horses, and convening them at once into cash. The military authorities bare taken the matter in hand, and will probable restore order to that section. * A Scotch paper speaks of a fox having been seen trying a steel trap by means of a stick which he carried in bU mouth We knew a fox once that took a well-pole from the well and pushed a turkey off from the lower limb of a tree with it, and put the pole bacx in its place. At least he got the turkey and the pole was found all light in the morn ing. A note from Boston Corbett, who shot the assassin Booth, states that be is sick in the hospital in W'&shington, and has received no pay from the Government for five months and is in much need of it.
