She sat before the glowing fire, It R brightness shown upon her hair, She leaned upon her slender hand. The firelight made her seem as fair, Although she was no longer young. And many tears had been repressed, And in her eyes' dusk shadows lurked The grief which is a daily guest, Bhe said, " God help me.” In the red embers there she saw The trailing shadows of the years The years since fir -t her path had wound Through the and rk intervales of tears, And as they wound before her thus, The wrongs which so she had endured, The evils she had learned to brook Without a hope of neing cured. She cried, “ Ged help me.’ And as she at the future glanced. Which has for most such precious store, The weary shadows in her eves Grew dark and darker than before.

These lines, written by an Irish divins, the Bev. J Wolfe. who died about half a century ago. are worthy of the pen of Goldsmith : If I had thought thou couldst have died, I might not weep for thee; But I forgot, when by thy side, That thou couldst mortal be ; It never through my mind had pasad Toe time would e’er be o er. That I on thee should look my last, And thou shouldst smile no more And still upon thy face I look, And think 'twill smile again ; And still the thought I wilt not brook, 'llia* l must look in vain ! Bn- when J speak, thou dost not say Whattlion ne'er left'st unsaid, And now I feel, as well I may, Sweet Mary ! thou art dead If thou would’st stay even>s thou art, All cold and all serene, f still might press thy silent heart, And w here thy smiles have been While e’en thy chill bleak corse 1 have, Thou seemest still my mine own, But there I lay thee in thy grave— And I am now alone ! I do not think, where’er thou art, Thou hast forgotten me ; And I, perhaps, may soothe this heart, In thinking too of thee ; Yet there was ronnd thee such a dawn Of light ne’er seen before ; As fancy never couid have drawn, And uever can restore !

CHAPTER TIIL It was already nearly flight in the stiff rooms of the Villa Baudinnani, although scarcely four o’clock in the afternoon; rain and hail hong thew vails over Jtbe birohes ana oy present of the park and fell noisily on the broad motionless leaves of the magnolias. The lake and the opposite shore had duMDoeared, i.aa only here, and there the besurifuily marked upper half of the Saeso Del Ferro rose above a back ground of flames, and then with a deafening thunder clap it was swallowed up again in premature darknees. At anch a moment the Count walked into his study that waa glowing in the reflection of a lightning flafft. ToM maso Paglia who had just pushed his bead through the door of the ante chamber, would have preferred to slip sway unnoticed, for the deep pooketa of his wide trowsers were puffed out with works of art and other valuables which he had wished to carry away in safety before the threatened invasion by the white coated barbarians. He was ever on the point of packing up the pretty little clock which had interested him so deeply, when he found himself opposite the Count, whom he had just seen slipping towards the grated window of the prisoner as if he wished to municate secretly with him. The Count, however, nodded so oom maudingly that the brigadier oonld not avoid coining in. , . „ “I only wanted to see the clock, said he, excusing himself, and confessing half the truth in order to conceal the whole. He said this with a most amiable ingenious smile and, sticking his thumbs in his pockets, he spread his hands out to hide their fullness. "I must speak to the prisoner, said the Count, almost threateningly. As soon as Tommaso beard that it was not the clock abont which the Count wanted to speak, he immediately regain ed hia ooolnees. He assumed a very serious, thoughtful expression, spoke of the strict rules of the service, of. the danger of the condemned, and of his own responsibility, although he had been appointed over the riflemen, and was commandant of the villa. Contemptuously the Count took up a small purse and handed it to the trifler. Tommaso snatched it eagerly, and, without inspecting its oontents, he stuck it (as his pants pockets were full) be tween the buttons of his uniform. “The loyalty of yonr Excellency is above all suspicion,” caid he then with proudly lifted bead. “I will order the riflemen to admit you to the prisoner-” Aud drawing himself np with his load of bank note#, tl*o BOble oreature walk ed forth. The Count, *Ji of whose thoughts were directed towards one point, seemed not to notice the briga dier’s insolence, and followed him has tily. The riflemen refused at first to recog nize Tommaso’a authority, but the brigadier knew bis men, and threatened them with immediate report for insub ordination if they did not obey. Con fused and perplexed bv the brigadier's eloquence, they at last stepped reluct antly aside to admit the Count, The door closed behind him, and Hip polyt stood facing his deadly enemy, Walden sat on a willow work seat in deep thought, aud looked without a quivering of bis eyelids at the flashes of lightning which followed each other in rapid succession. At the sight of the Count, he sprang up defiantly, and his pale brow contracted ominously." That was the man who hated him without any cause, and whose hate had exeroised such a fatal influeuoa on hia life; the man who could have saved him *W a word, and yet had silently permitted him to be sentenced to death. And at this hour, when Walden had done with the world, and oould no longer oount upon the success of flight, this man had the face to appear before him to watch with fiendish delight the writhings of a despairing heart. Surely, the Count would like to see him the coward which he bad called him. t “Do yon come to insult me, Count?'’ asked he. “No; to tell yon that you have behav ed well in a trying hour," returned the Connt, sadly. “I thank yon for thia acknowledg ment ” The officer did not finish, but the shrug of his shoulders was express ive. “You oould have saved yourself, con tinued the Count, with gloomy interest, “if you had answered the questions pnt to you as to what you knew of the po sition and number of your troops on the other Bhore. They promised you un conditional seeresy and freedom, in case yonr statements were verified. You de clined the offer with contempt—” Walden’s gray eyes flashed angrily, and his pale lips moved, “It is to be hoped that you have pot come to repeat that infamous offer," 'He Oount shrugged his shoulders, and hie face had again that observant expression wbioh had agitated Walden so deeply daring the trial. “Properly speaking, no,” he answer ed, “but in solitude and in your posi tion one sometimes has different vieWß of tbe same things, than in the excite ment of a trial and sentence." “Surely, you might have known that as far as it depends upon me, I would be as little apt to make capital of the safety of my fatherland, as by one word to throw a shadow upon your daughter’s honor." Walden's words sounded Impatient, and there was in his manner a very evi dent desire to be alone. Notwithstanding this the Count very quietly remained only he seemed to become sadder and sadder. “Thai, is true,” said he “in that also you have behaved nobly. Yon will therefore not bo untrue to yourself in the sffiir which brings me here. Yon know what divides us, I consider you— I must consider you my wife's lover, ac cording to the testimony of my /own eyes, the behavior of the Countess, 4od the verdiet of my individual reason. By you, as well as by her, this relation has been denied, and you have in the meantime actually entered into eorrespondenoe With my daughter, and triad to elope with her. For although I do not believe you were playing the spy, still I felt do obligation to enter the lists for you, and to fltori fioe my child’s honor before the world. Yoc will understand my enmity, for ja have destroyed the happiness of my Jife and the joy of my old age.” “ I?” asked Walden with a faint smile. The Count stepped close to the pris oner. “Yes; you—or myewu insanity. Noth ing could change it dow, even if ft were my delusion. I have said things to tyal purga whioh a wife could never forgive, even jn a madman, and if she could, I would despise her for it. We are, there fore, parted forever, and nothing could reunite us. la your position, it is im material whether you are shot as my wife’s lover or not, Aasording to all the laws of nature, I know you wonld in this event have no cause to wish me well; and yet I am silly enough to believe that von will answer my question, and satisfy my consuming thirst for certain ty, even if I have to beg you to do so as Caroline's father, aud on account of your love for &f child. For whatever may have taken pteoe between you and Walpurga, ypu cannot be insensible to Caroline’s touching devotion. Yopr firmness in the presence of yonr jpdges has shaksß my faith in my own opinion. I swear to yon that your word will not change the‘state of affairs in the slight est degree; that I will, ns heretofore, seek neither to persewute nor conciliate Walpurga. As tong at I was float palled to believe in her guilt my anger support ed me, and gave a purpose to my life. Now, since yon have tanght me to donbt it, I feel tbis last prop of my spirit fail ing. Save ms from the night whioh is worse than death, by telling me, on yonr honor, if yoa are my wife’s lover. On your honor," repeated the Count, as if to prevent a rash decision, when Wel don was abont to answer. “Formerly I considered yon one of those young men (of whom there are thousands) who would Laughingly tread under foot the happiness of n marriage, and boast of it. Now, I know that yon ona die for your duty aud honor. An the man whom I have learned to know in yon to-day, tell me if you were Walpnrga’s lover.” The Coast's bps remained a little apart as he spoke these last words, and his eyas were fixed anxiously upon the officer. Earnestly Walden laid his haad on his heart and said, solemnly: “Only a few days ago I learned for the first time the eaoae of a hatred which had already so often and so deep ly wounded me. We both have aaase to honor most highly the fidelity and truthfulness of the Countess. This I swear to you as truly as I hope to die like a brave soldier.” “I believe you,” said the Count, who seemed to be broken down; while trembling with intense emotion he grasped a bar of the grated window by which he stood. “But it is a terrible view which yon present to me—now I mast consider myself yonr murderer.” For La long* time hs stood in speech less despair, aa if he had been the pris oner, while the condemned man stood near him with folded hands and mild, sad eyes, and without a word of re proach oa hie pale lips. Aiittle while after, th brigadier ap peered and forced the Count to go, to he had seen the inspecting oftear of the post fr >re the upper story. ] ‘■l go,” said the Count, “in order to mtri yonr sitastion no worse, iam do nothing for yon, for lam suspected al ready, and my interoeaaion would only hasten your doom. And now if I were to tell everything, what would the blunt judgment of the oonrt martial care for the mistakes of a heart blinded by jealousy ( Bat if it cpm comfort yon in any way, and does not sound at such a moment like the most bitter mockery—believe me,l would give my daughter’s hand to no man in preference to yourself.” They parted with a short preasnre of tbe hand, and Tommaso hastened with surprising zeal to make a report to the inspecting offioer already at tbe gate, and to prevent a meeting between him and the rifleman. The offioer ah accom modating gentleman refrained, as it was almost meal time, from spoiling his ap petite by looking at a man condemned to death, and the prisoner remained un disturbed. Hia fate waa indeed' one to shake a more powerful mind th in Walden’s. Until now what had life offered him that hie must leave it so early ! Pleasures which would have been of little value to others, an embittered youth, reared under tbe pressure of the anxieties of his parents, who (descended from a re r table family, and in a prominent so position as tbe first civil family of a provincial capital) struggled all their lives with the disparity between the ne cessity of keeping up good, social ap pearances, and the insufficiency of their income, bad died at last, leaving their son nothing but duties. These Henry had faithfully performed. His life had been blameless. Triumphantly he had fonght the hard fight of a pleas ure loving nature against all the tempta tions of the Sonthern garrisons in which he had been stationed, and bad consid ered the admonitions of his dying father, and bis scant pay as controlling his con duct more than anything else, after his official duty and honor; perhaps this en forced reserve bad made his intercourse in the house of hia Venetian relative more neoeesary, and perhaps he had joined himself so heartily to the child ish nature of the little Caroline because his father, who died soon after his mother, had given him, as the most solemn admonition of life, to prefer to die rather than to draw a loving, trust ing being into the curse of half-way relations and suspicions appearances. There was a peculiar perhaps inherited but still deep earnestness of life, which gave Henry that genuine modesty and reserve towards women that had made him so often a puzzle to bis com rades, without their daring to sneer at him. But from those families who could have made the dreaded curse ineffectual, a refined, almost womanly sensitiveness kept him back, and also a proud inde pendence where it was not at all neces sary. At last they gave np trying to ap proach him, for they could not suspect the motives of his reserve on aocount of their unusualness, and handsome army officers with high sounding names were nothing rare. That almost, timid modesty whioli had beootpe a distinguishing mark of his character, caused him even to overlook tbe love of his cousin, and his ingen uousness was a stronger armor than all moral preoepts. Then at a sight of the beautiful maiden whom he had known as a child, love had blossomed forth in its full splendor, and he had forgotten everything, even that Caroline was rich. What were rjohps worth to him who had no wants 9 But at least be felt that he would do no wrong, that he would not expose Caroline to poverty and an un certain future if he obtained her. For a moment it seemed to Walden that ho might dream of a pure life and long hap piness. Even hate and war seemed im possible sinoe he was so happy. He had held his blessed one in his arms, had felt her heart beating against his own, and had been aroused from lU s dream— for death! There was something peouliar abont death when one had just awakened to new self consoious life. Even the last barrier between him and a full rich life had been removed by fate s if in mock ery, and aa he atood there with one foot already on the scaffold, the man who bad banted him to death had forgiven him and stood before him as his friend. Walden felt almost giddy, and it seemed to him that he most dash his bead against the walls to rob his tor meeto?f the delight of murdering him. “Take,” he murmured, poking his head, “only a self-tormenting attfibute from that obstinate, jealous heart, a cbeppe from experience, a single link from the styapge chain of adventures, and this end were pflt possible. Bat that this obstinate man should QW for tbe first time realize that a true woman's heart baa been thrown away npon him, and that I should have had to sue for her; that the war, should, iu one mo ment, stamp what would otherwise baye been only an unsuccessful adventurer; that even that link was not wanting in the chain which now winds itself orusbingly around my life like the coils of tbe Laoooon ; that every thing should become like a mixture of faults and virtues, of stubbornness and sacrifice, of the unexpected and the anticipated, of errors and the justly fol lowing consequences thereof these are tbs characteristic# gf fate in this “pos sibly best of all possible jyorlds.” Henry langhnd atoffd so &iU#rly that the rifleman opened the door and looked at the prisoner. In the mean time the Count stood listening before the door of his daugh ter's room. Within nothing was stirring. She was ploenipg or perhaps weeping. The Count placed hi# hand on the latch but it trembled so yiplpiitjy that he could not open it. He let his ha“d drop and stole quietly away. He dared not stand before the face of his ohild. A short time after he had given the inspecting offioer the oalming assur ances with regard to the safety of the prisoner, Tommaso paglja walked slowly ont of the house. Alter he wa# opt of sight of the window, be went more rapidly down to the harbor. The rtyn had oeased and the large cloak which the brigadier wore, was only needed to oonoeal the different articles which he had thought worthy of being resoued from the bombardment and plundering. Arrived at the harbor, he placed parts of his very prepious burden in different dark and almost inymifeje niches of the wall. He seemed to bp surprised at the open gate sod missing boat, bpt imme diately he laughed delightedly to him self. He had agreed with his subordi nate, Antonio, to get all tbe valuable and easily transported articles from the £ as tie, and, if he oonld bring them away ujogotoied/r be w as for the time to keep them to top station cook’s cellar. After the brewing bp,# fop Btorm Antonio was to pome from fntra with a boat, to carry off tha booty, ffi ordpr pof to pe suspected by requiring a boat, and at the same time not to have his aotsmnni.- C-tions with the- cook noticed by his comrades lounging on the lake shore, AntOPio had evidently preferred to borrow flfto £* the Count's boats, and in order to w *th their chosen ally bad rowed as Wqoju storm had abated to thfl station jritoh.ep, ,wki/cfaia*r under the roeka close to tbfi lto e - The apartments for the revenue o&oers were on the land side, and the mistress of tbe kitchen had always defended her own dominions so strongly against every un lawful invasion, that one could confer with her upon important subjects with out interruption- The brigadier very seldom felt inclined to place the discern ment and inventive gepius of his suboj-- diaates over his own, bat this time be oonld not help blaming himself for over looking suoh an advantageous expedi ent, and praising Antonio silently and in advance for £ia*eal and circumspec tion. \ -p?

Jack Xiftc Writes for Information—Wkich fan bo Given Only by Senators Gordon and Hill. Flat P. 0., Burke Cos., May 25. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: When it wss first norated around that Hr. Hayes was going to give all the of fices in Georgia to na poor Democrats, I right away sent my name to him and to all the members of hia Cabinet except Tecnmseh Sherman’s brother John, who I was afraid wonld charge me commis sion, likewise to onr Senators and Repre sencentatives in Congress, also to Snnset Cox and Ben Bntler and to many others too tedious to mention. The whole thing cost me abont two dollars acid fifty cents in stamps besides tbe writing paper, but I thought d— m the expenses, as I felt I that I had a dead sure thing of it. I told them I warn’t particular, anything from Justice of the Supreme Court (I was magistrate in Lester District two years) to tide waiter would suit me. Now, would you believe it ? I haven’t heard a word from any of them except Mr. Cox, and he had the impudence to write “that if I could give a c rtificate from a Bishop that I didn’t drink liquor when I was traveling he would consider my application.” 1 didn’t send any certifi cate, because I don’t know any Bishops, and besides, I take a dram just when I feel like it, and I don’t consider it any of Cox’s business, no way; and, more over, I wasn’t anyways uneasy, aa there were about seventy-five more doing their level best for me, old Hayes included. Now, what I want to know about is this: The other day I heard some men on the cars at Millen say that Hayes didn’t mean to give bat one office in Georgia to a Democrat, and that isU. S. Marshal, and that he had told Ben Hill and Gordon to draw straws to see who it should be. Now, as I said before, I ain’t particular; Marshal will suit me very well, that is, if it pays better than crop ping with free niggers. “It’s a’ one to Daudy,” as the Scotchman said, but here’s the trouble, these men said that Hill and Gordon would’nt agree to draw, for Gordon had his man tied out in the bashes and swore that “if he diu’nt get it, he did’nt care a continental some thing whether any body got it ; that he was going to Atlanta to scalp Joe Brown,” excetera, excetera, &c. They said that Ben Hill said “he would take any body except the mau Gordon wanted, and he would be kuow nothinged over again before he’d take him, excetera, excetera, &c. Here’s dig nity, here’s richness, quoth Mr. Squeers. Now, Mr. Editor, this is what I heard on the cars at Millen, and I want to know if it’s so. I’in out. of pocket about three dollars, and cotton at ten cents and falling, and only half a stand at that, with drouth besides, and likely to lose the whole, because brother Gordon and brother Hill are jealons of one another. If I can’t be Marshal, I intend to be a candidate for the Legislature for the next six years, and when they come squirming around me to get my vote, you’d better believe that I shan't forget how they treated me when I wanted an office— that’s my hand, and it will be a full, with aces at the head. Pie ise drop n e a line, and let me know if you think there’s any chance for me. P. S.—Had snap beans and squashes for dinner to-day. Can you beat that ?

Creditors Discussing the Question—A State ment by Mayor Wheaton as to Its Finan cial Condition—What It Call Afford to Do and What the Creditors Demnud. [New York Times.] A large number of the New York cred itors of the city of Savannah assembled in John B. Manning’s offive, No. 14 Wall street, yesterday, to meet representa tives of that oity aud endeavor to come to some agreement in regard to the pay ment of the oity debt, on whioh the in terest has been defaulted. Judge Schley, of Savannah, was chosen Chairman, and Mr. Dewitt, Secretary. The Chairman stated the object of the meeting to be a full and free con ference between the creditors and the Mayor of Savannah, who had been dele gated to meet them. Savannah had never before been unable to fulfill her obligations, and the feeling of every vas against repudiating any debt thirt hdd beep honestly contracted. A dozen circumstances had conspired to place Savannah in her present predica ment. The general paralysis of trade was one, but the most effective had been the yellow fever scourge of last Winter, whioh created a loss more than equal to the entire amount of the debt. He, therefore, asked that she should be al lowed to pay, by degrees, what she could not as nominated in her bonds. With the neoeesary indulgence every dollar would be paid, and he trusted that those present would have forbearance and en able the Mayor to keep up the city’s oredit. Major Wheaton, of Savannah, was then introduced. He said he had not come to make any proposition on behalf of bis city. 'bfft to o|J’er a statement of its financial condition. He asgjired jijs hearers that the city government were desirous of paying every cent of their obligations. When they took office in January last they found a state of things that seemed overwhelming. They found a debt of over $4,000,000, with property tp levy on whose assessed valuation was only’gH.ObO.ftOO at the highest figures, and which coHla not bu sold for $9,000,- 000, To carry on the government and pay the interest from the taxes was im possible. After careful consideration the city government came to the conclu sion that $350,000 was the outside amount they .could hope fq riiise in any and all ways. The pity liaa bepa terfil>ly im poverished, in addition to the causes stated by Judge Schley, by the with drawal of trade. Formerly the sur rounding planters bought their goods for their thousands of employees and themselves in Savannah. Now the la borers receive monthly stipends whioh go to the cross-road stores, and thence to Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia and Nety ijfork. 4JI the railroads centreing in Sayanpah have hptfdmo bankrupt.— Stock that was quoted at 140 sold as !qw last Winter as 38. All that the city owned in them has vanished without the possibility in any contingency of realiz ing a cent. The city debt equals four tenths of its whole property, a condition of things that exists nowhere else. If the city recovers from the eflects of the yellow fever epidemic of last Winter in twenty years, it Will be all she can do.— In sixty day’s''rqore fhan J.fJ.OO persons died. In response to questions, his Honor said that while in 1870 the population of Savannah was between 28,000 aud 39,- 000, it is dow not over 24,000, and he a list of the city’s assets amounting Ho a,aid tfeaf government can not pe rjifl Top lb§s Uiifi sg£ffQ,gO(} per annum, and estimated the espfenp.o (or 1877 at $182,950. In conclusion, Mayor Wheaton said that the committee who had this matter of tbe debt in charge had satisfied themselves that the utmost they could do wonld be to pay, say, 3 per fifiDp. interest for ten years, 4 per cent, for five years, 5 per pent, for five years, and fi per cent. for ten years, at the end of whioh time they hoped to have cleared off both principal and inter est. The interest meantime has to be funded. If any one had any other prop osition to make which would be feasi ble, the government of Savannah would strain every point to meet it. Mr. Stan ton thought the rate of interest proposed too low. He would be satisfied with a 4 per cent. "bond to run sve years, and the rate of interest to be gradually in creased thereafter. He had hopes that Savannah would improve. Mr. Man ning said that those creditors with whom he had talked weye decidedly opposed to Inking such a low rate of interest. He suggested a 5 per cent, bond, whose coupon would be taken in payment of taxes. Mayor Wheaton says that it was pro posed to make the new bonds, whatever they might be, non-taxable, and to re ceive thg coupons for taxes. Also, to provide for a sinking tond to wipe out the debt. Under the plan he h 4 ® n ß‘ gested the interest per annum wouldbe $l2O 000 and the expenses $200,000, leaving for the sinking fond between $30,000 and $50,000. Mr. Manning said he wonld not give 40 cento on the dollar for such a bond, and for one he would not accept the Mayor’s proposition. He thought the city was well able to give 6 per cent, if she wonld reduce her expenses to a pro per amount. He warned the Mayor that the creditors had the right to sue, and could compel payment. Mr. Shanahan proposed, as the great er portion of those present had porch as ed their bonds at 75 cents to 80 cents, they agree to accept a share of 2o per cent, op the psr yalne and 6 per cent. Mr. Kelly said his bonds had cost him 85 cents to 90 cents. Mr. Manning said the city should sur render ite parks and squares, cut them HP into lota and sell them for the bene fit of its creditors. . Mr Kelly said that it would be im possible to sell them. Land can be bought on the outskirts of Savannah for a song, and there is no immigration. The debt, be said, had been originally contrasted by granting subsidies to rail roads, and bad been constantly increas ed by issuing new bonds to pay off the old ohss and by borrowing. He pro posed to accept 70 oents on the dollar and 5 per cent, interest. He did not want a 3 per cent. bond. Mayor Wheaton said that the oity government would guarantee not to eon tract any further debt until its present one is reduced to $1,500,000. _ The pres ent debt is exactly $4,185,000, including $300,000 of endorsed bonds of the At lantic and Gnlf Railroad, which the lat ter cannot pay. The bonded debt alone is $3,280,000. Mr. Stratiahan moved tbatßopercent. be accented at 6 per cent. Mr. Kelly offered as an amendment that 70 cents and 6 per cent, be accept ed. Thia waa lost, Bto 3. Mr. Stranahan's motion was then pnt and carried, after Mayor Wheaton had warned the meeting that if tirey pressed too hard on the city it wonld be worse for both. After considerable more discussion, Mayor Wheaton said that the vote would be taken simply as an indication of the views of the New York creditors. A meeting of the creditors generally has been called for June to 6,in Savannah, and it waß thought that an expression from this city, where larger ideas of finance prevail, would have an effect on those bolding bonds in the country. The meeting then adjonrned. VILLAINY AND VENGEANCE. Horrible Crime in Stewart County, Georgia —A Young and Beautiful Woman Shot Down by Negroes—Her Husband Decoyed Awny From Her and the Preraiaea Robbed —The Yilliana Caught and Hang ,to the lligheat Limb—Wretched Depravity of the Murderers— Highway Robbery in Mexico. Columbus, Ga., May 28.—Last Friday morning, before daybreak, Mrs. C. C. Chambliss, of Stewart county, vjas mur dered by three negroes of the neighbor hood. They fired the fences and drew her husband away from the house. The negres then proceeded to the house to rob it, and were met by Mrs. Chambliss, a beautiful woman, aged 18 years, armed with a gun. One of the negroes, Jerry Snead, took the gnn from her and lodg ed its contents iu her head, causing her death instantly. The negroes burned the corn crib and fled. They were pur sued and captured. Jerry admitted the deed and implicated his companions, Stephen Abram and Wm. Booth. They were brought to Chambliss’ house that afternoon and it was unanimously decided by about three hundred whites and blacks present that they should be hanged. A gallows was jrect cd, and the murderers were hanged with trace chains. The colored participants in the lynching threw the lifeless bodies into an old field to rot, and it was with great difficulty that the whites could persuade them to permit a burial. The culprits met their fate jeeringly and sneeringly, glorying in the deed and taunting their executioners. Mrs. Chambliss, nee Miss Amelia Wright, daughter of Mr. Y. F. Wright, of Stewart county, was a beautiful and promising young woman, and was en dowed with many mental graoes. She had been married little more than a year, and has been snatched from the devoted hands of a young husband by ruthless murderers and robbers. She was interred Saturday afternoon, at Jamestown, Chattahooohee county. Robbery in Mexico. Galveston, May 28.—A Corpus Ghris ti special reports the murder and rob bery of a prominent citizen and his son of San Diego by eight Mexicans. The same party captured U. Scott, President at the Corpus Christi and Rio Grande Railroad and others, robbing them of money, jewelry and clothes. The coun try is alarmed and the people are hunt ing for the robbers. J. WILKES BOOTH. [Baltimore Gazette.] A number of absurd stories are going the rounds of the press as to the disposi tion of the remains of J. Wilkes Booth. The latest is by Capt. • Oliver P. Leslie, of Pittsburg, who states the body was sunk in a lake seven miles below Alex andria, Ya. The incontrovertible facts are as follows : The remains were order ed to be delivered to the friends of Bo ■th by President Andrew Johnson.— John H. Weaver, the undertaker of this city, was sent to Washington by his family to bring them here for interment. A box was taken up from the arsenal building and delivered to him. It was brought by him to Baltimore, and was examined by him and a reporter of the Gazette at his room on West Fayette street, near Holliday. They found in it a skeleton wrapped iD an old army blanket. When the blanket was taken off the skeleton was ooyered with a pow der having the appearance of soapstone, and on being rubbed between the fingers it disappeared just as soapstone will do, On the right foot was an army shoe, cut open at the top its entire length, as if to accommodate a swollen foot. On the other was a large oavalry boot. The re porter of the Gazette examined the bones in and above the shoe, and for some time oould find no injury. Believ ing the remains to be those of Booth, the reporter made a persistent examination and at last discovered the leg was frac tured clean through just above the ankle. The fracture was clearly marked, and the portion below the fracture being lifted off the box the ends of the bones were of a pure whiteness, leaving no doubt as to theJfact that Booth, iu leap ing ffofn tjie had fractured his right leg and not sprained it. Still the iden tity of the remains were not satisfactorily established, especially as there was no portion of the spinal vertebrae missing and no mark of any bullet upon them. A brother of Booth’s was sent for, who was told by Mr. Weaver of the doubts as to the identity of his remains and Mr. Weaver requested him to think of some peculiarity, if any existed in the struc ture of his brother, that Would forever remove any doubt. After thinking for a brief while Ibe brother said all that he could remember was that his brother bad his tootji plugged gold ih a peculiar manner. He described tfie location of the tpoth, apd drew with a pencil (.he shape of the plug, which was of unusual size. The teeth were taken out, and the tooth was found plugged just as described by the brother and forever setting at rest any question of the identity of the remains. The re mains were buried in Greenmount Ceme tery in the same lot with his grandfather, and other children of the family. The Cossacks. [Kischmeff Correspondence Af. Herald- 1 Ihe Oossaeks are divided into several corps—the Cossacks of the Don, the Cossacks of the Ukraine, the Cossacks of the Caucasus, &o. Each of these di visions has a chief, who is called an Ata mD, and holds the rank of general, and all the Cossacks of the empire are unit ed under a single chief, who pas the title of the ,l Ataman General."” This latter title always devolves upon the heredita ry Grand Duke. The Cossack olothes and equips himself and his uniform and his horse belong to himself. He wears a large, round, low cap made of skin Astrakan, wide pantaloons stuffed into his boots and reaching J2?* bi3 knees, the whole covered by a kind of overuoit buttoning on the back and having three long flaps reaching to the feet and fastened on the full length. On his breast to the left and right in verti cal cases he carries six cartridges at each side. In his belt he carries a poinard. A baldrick hangs from Lis right shoul der ai)d pasgeg to tj)e leR aide, where it supports a long saber in a leather scabbard. On hia back, hanging from a bandoleer and wrapped in a case made of goat s skin, he carries his rifle. The Cossack always carries in his band a whip, with a short lash, which he calls kinjal. His horse is small £ftid rather ugly, and though he is made of good stuff, his form is somewhat angular. To form an idea of the Cossack saddle, imagine an ordinary saddle upon which would be fastened by a strap a square leather cushion about four inches nigh. This is the reason that at first sight ope is so much surprised to see this curious look ing oavaher perched up bo high on his saddle. He sticks on his horse’s baok by sticking his knees into the animal’s sides with all his strength, which gives the legs the appearance of a pair of pin cers. The stirrup is an equally curious thing. The bottom is round and thick enongh, but from that up it resembles very much one of those tin boxes in which preserve? are sold. It has been already said that the Cossack* horae is his personal property, and it may be added that he turns it to business ac count by hiring it out. Since the ar rival of the troops at Kischeneff they have been the delight of the collegians, who, for a ronble an hour, have been enabled to make promenades on horse back in bands on these valiant little ani mals.

VIEWS OF AN OLD RAIL ROAD PRESIDENT. A Letter From Colonel Wot. Johnston, of Charlotte—The Advantages and Feasibility of the Proposed Air Llae Front Annasta to the Great West—lnteresting Reading for the Friends of the Enterprise. Charlotte, 2s. 0., May 18, 1877. T. H. Heald, Esq., Knoxville, Tenn.: Deab Snt— Your favor ia received, in which jou ask me to give my views in regard to the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad. I have read with much inter est the proceedings of the Convention in Augusta, in relation to this road, and do not think that any of the speakers on the occasion overrated its importance in either a local or national aspect. A large portion of the line is through a fertile country, producing cotton, grains, grasses, fruits, stock of all kinds, abounding in coal, iron, copper, marble and other valuable minerals, with all the variety of temperature found in the climate between Augusta and Boston. For over two-thirds of the distance na ture has been lavish in water power, to promote cotton factories, iron foun dries, machine shops and other manu facturing establishments. With the fa cilities of a railway connecting Augusta and Knoxville, with their dissimilar na tive productions to exchange, with eaeh a centre of concentration and distribu tion of these, the development would be wonderful to the country aloDg the en tire line, as well as to the growth of the towns and cities. The increase thus given to property wenld soon equal three times the cost of the road, and thus give millions of additional values to the country. He who looks at the railroad and steamship maps will readily see that Augusta occupies a most commanding position in tjje collection and distribu tion of freights among the cotton States, while her factories and commercial houses are giving a solid basis for her tutnre growth and prosperity. On the other side of the Alleghames is situated Knoxville, with her rapid growth in population, commerce and industrial pursuits, occupying in the grain region the n ost central commanding position of any city to supply Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia with all the productions of the extended country north of her. Now, shall there cities be connected by rail ? But a doubting Thomas says there is a lion in the path —the Appa lachian mountains intervene! Georgia has cut though them, and her railroads, Atlanta and other cities, owe their pros perity to this triumph of skill over physical obstructions. Virginia has pierced this barrier, and Lynchburg, Richmond, Petersburg and Norfolk have taken a lease of renewed life and com mercial activity. North and South Caro lina are contending for the same great prize. Rabun Gap is an easy pass aud is half finished, and the shortest line to the sea. Then why hesitate? You have,, besides Charleston and Savanifah, a Port Royal, with its capacious harbor and twenty-two feet of water at low and twenty-eight feet at high tidf, complete ly land locked. It is excelled by no harbor in natural advantages on the At- lantic coast. Here the merchant marine of the world can ride with safety. It has all the national advantages of Nor folk, with no place equal to it from Vir ginia to the Rio Grande, in depth aud capaciousness of water and salubrity of climate. Lands contiguous to its wa ters ante bellum could not be purchased at SSO aud SIOO per acre for the mere production of sea island cotton. For health, culture and refinement it was the garden spot of the South Atlantic slope. When the South Atlantic c>'ties were founded but few vessels were construct ed to draw over fifteen feet of war—the ports that led to them answered the purpose and suited the times. But modern economy in ocean transporta tion now requires vessels drawing twen ty to thirty feet. Habors must be suited to their capacity. Port Royal harbor (not the town of that name), including Broad river and tributaries—great inlaud seas—has the depth and capacity of water to meet the demands of modern civilization and pro gress. Here, not only the Atlantic States, but Kentncky, Ohio, Indiana, Il linois, Michigan, and the West Trans- Mississippi country, is destined in the near future to find an outlet for their teeming millions, for coastwise or for eign shipments. Cincinnati is nearer to Port Royal than to New York; Chicago is much nearer Port Royal than to New York; St. Louis is three hundred miles nearer to Port Royal than to New York. The cost of ocean transportation is only one-third that by land. The three hun dred miles by land more to New York than to Port Royal is equal to nine hun dred miles in expense by water. Now if New York is three hundred miles less distance to Liverpool, Bremen and Havre than Port Royal, the latter still offers GOO miles shorter route to Liverpool and all commercial Europe to St. Louis, and relatively much shorter routes from Cairo, Memphis, &., than via New York. Thus you will see tlje advantages of oheap freights to all the North and West greatly in favor of Port Royal over New York city, if facilities were equal in the construction, equipment and management of our railroads. With what is, therefore, equivalent to a saying of fiOO miles by water, via Port Royal, over New York, will uot capital and enterprise be found equal to the construction of the road from Augusta to Knoxville? This built, a trunk line will soon reach Knoxville from each of the great cities of Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis. They may make a junc tion 80 or 100 miles north of Knoxville, but they are bound to come tjiore.— Chattanqoga is tqo ftjr wqst to command the trade of yirginia, Sfortk and South Carolina. Cincinnati can yet a£f >rd to spend $1,000,000 in the constructiop of the Augusta and coppeption rattier than be without a main branoh to Sacl' this road been com pleted, she surely would have come direetly to Knoxville. But, construct it, and ehe will come, with all the great commercial centres of the Northwest, The vast country north and west <>? *he Mississippi and Ohio rivers, with their millions of peoples and hundred milliops ot heavy freights, au qutlet—a yeal harbor op the Sopt'lT Atlantic slope to spip'abroact tpe sprplus npt consum ed ip the cotton States. The extreme cold qf the States bordering the lakes, and those west of them for five and six months in the year, blocking their canals, lakes and rivers, stopping naviga tion, sometimes interrupting seriously railroad transportation, causing double rates of freights to be charged to Canada and the eastern cities, is an incubus upon their prosperity which their intelligence and sagacity will no longey pear. To 'go by way of the Mississippi river and Gulf of Mexioa, doubling the dangerous reef, of Florida,to impose too many transfers, takes too much time, and too great ex pense in this circumnavigation. The snow and ice generally disappear as the engine approaches the Ohio river going south until it finally melts away entire ly, even in extreme Winter, long before fort is reached. Bpforp the northwestern freights reach the Appa lachian range the market for them be gins. Why send them to New York and Baltimore to be again shipped Bppth, and redistributed f;pm Norfolk, Wil mington, Charleston apd Savannah, pay ing through rates once and local rates twice? It is for,wan* ,qf good railroad lines, grand trunk lines running the di rect route to their natural markets. Make the line to Knoxville and we will have these. The West will build them, from that strongest motive of hnman action, self-interest. You build t-hs one and the others will follow as natural se quences. The greater portion P.f all these rail routes from tpp great centres of Western commerce are already con structed”—they only require to be closely and directly connected, consolidated and equipped. The saving on freights incoming and outgoing alone for one year to the Northwest would oonsolidate and equip these great lines of transpor tation and travel to Knoxville. When this gap is once finished the railroad line from Knoxville to Port Royal will be the first in the South to demand a doable track to meet the great demands for the transportation of freights and passengers. The Northwest people had better con struct the Augusta connection than be without'it. Its commerce, progress and future prosperity depend much upon a direct outlet to the South Atlantic coast. The Congress could not confer a greater blessing npon the South and West and the Union by appropriating or lending ten millions of dollars to construct a grand trunk line from Chicago to Port Royal. From if branches would radi ate tu all commercial centres for hun dreds of miles on either side, and the snow and ice would greatly diminish as obstructions to active commerce, even in mid-Winter. Via Port Royal, for the West, is the shortest and cheapest route tp Europe, to all South 4menoa and the West Indies, and it is immensely the shortest route. The rich ca-goes of those tropical regions, as well qp the grain, pork, beef, Ac., of the upper Mis sissippi and the lakes demand this di rect and cheap gateway for their com merce. In addition to the cotton and manufactured goods, the fruits and veg etables of the Sonth, thrown six weeks earlier into Northern markets, would make very large return freights. Port Royal harbor, but Tittle known to the public pntil Commodore Dupont oceqpidd it in 1863, is|on the32ddegrees parallel of latitude, the very line upon which it is propoeed to build the Texas Pacific Railway. If this road is com pleted, as it surely will be with the safe guards thrown around it by the act of incorporation, making it a national high way, Port Royal, with all its natural ad vantages, must beoome its Atlantic port. The road from Augusta to Port Royal is oomplete. As the Southern States are fully restored to peace, law and order, and, the military made subordinate to the civil authority, giving brighter aus pices for the future prosperity of the entire country, I rejoice to see that im portant cbmmeroial interests have un dertaken to connect directly Augusta and Knoxville by rail, and give ultimate ly to the Great West for her heavy and bulky freights, through the best harbor in the cotton States, the shortest, cheap est and most direct route to her best markets, both foreign and domestic.
