Wujjpmumt \o <mp oailn Jerald. The Savannah Daily Herald A Valoablk Rbuc Distkoikd.—The Richmond Enquirer says: “When the Federal army was advancing up the Peninsula, Dr. John Mayo, .ot this city secured an old bell at Yorktown and de livered it for safe keeping to the officer in charge of the State armory, comer of Seventh and Cary streets. The bell had engraved on it the words, ‘York county in Virginia, 1725.' .This precious old relic, which had been cast in England, and whose peals had been heard at \ orktown long before the surrender Uornwallifi, was left in the armory on the night of the evacuation, and was seen there several weeks afterwards by the officer above mentioned. In an interview which that offi cer had with Col. Kress, ordinance officer United States army, in this city, for the pur pose of claiming some private property, the State officer drew the attention of the United States officer to this relic, and also to a cop per vane which had bung for many years overthe dome of the old armory on the basin bank, and the latter requested the for mer to say to the United States officer then In charge of the armory that he desired these relics to be sent to his (Colonel Kress’s) office. The writer of this be lieves they never were sent to that office. The attention of the present State authorities was also drawn to tbeße relics by the State officer referred to. It now turns out that the old bell is in the possession of a metal moul - der in Philadelphia; for Vincent Bargamin, ol this city, informs us that be recently saw it there broken into fragments. Os course it was sold to Mr. Hook for old metal. This 13 a barbarous disposition of such a valuable relic. As for the vane, the capper was cut out of the frame, and it, of course met a like fate.” University op Georgia. —The public will be gratified to learn that this old venerated Institution of learning will re-open 'January Bd, ensuing. Among the signs of returning prosperity to the Stale, we are sure that the intelligent and patriotic citizens of Georgia will hail the resumption of the University exercises with that pride and pleasure which always characterize the sentiments of a re fined cultivated people. The history of this University is largely the history of our an cestral renown—the record of the finest in tellects that have adorned the progress of Georgia in all that constitutes the trust and highest distinction of a Bate. Nor can anything be more flattering to our future prospects tbau tbe great interests every where evinced in tbe prompt and efficient opening of the University. To meet tbe earnest wishes of tk# public, tbe Trustees have been exceedingly active, for some time past, in perfecting such arrangements as will enable the University to commence in Jan uary next with enlarged facilities for fulfill ing the task confided by the Btate to their hands. . We are quite certain that anew era in tbe life of the University will begin with its ap proaching session. The energetic spirit in the Board of Trustees ; the warm and zeal ous co-operation of its numerous Alumni ; the indications of the newspaper press and its earnest advocacy of claims of the Univer sity upon public confidence ; and, above all, the profound conviction so general among the citizens of Georgia that we now need, more than ever, the advantaged of a fully de veloped-University ; all these are unmis takable signs that this institution is destined to enter immediately upon a qareer of en larged usefulness. Assured, as we are, of this fact, we congratulate tbe Btate on the cheering prospects of her University; and with all our heart, (and uttering from the heart the fervent wish of nearly one thou sand Alumni,) we bid her God speed in in spiring tbe young intellect of Georgia with the aims and aspirations of a noble, Christian Scholarship. —Athens Banner. The Reason Wht. —Many wonder why the law breakers in East Tennessee are so bold in their persecution of returned Confed erates. The matter has been made perfectly plain to us. In conversation with a gentle man a tew days since, he informed us that the present inenmbent of the gubernatorial chair of Tennessee made use of the annexed language. In talking recently to a crowd of East Tennessee admirers, be in substance, tcld them to go on with wbat he termed “their good work"—that is their outrages upon men who had favored tbe South during the war. “And,” he continued, “it any of you are found guilty and sentenced to State Prison by the courts, I will meet you at the prison door with a pardon; if any es you are sentenced to be hung, I will meet you at the gallows with a reprieve.” As long as such men bold office in Ten nessee, we may look lor murders and out rages of all kinds, in that portion of the Union. — Aitgutia Chronicle y Sentinel. Horse Thieving —There appears to be a great deal of horse and mule stealing going on in the country now-a-day. Planters cannot be too careful of tbeir stock. All should be on the look out for rascals who are committing these lawless deeds, and should do every thing to find them out and have them taken care of.
