The Jackson (Miss.) Eagle understands
that Oov. McWillie will call an extra ses
sion of the Mississippi Legislature some
time in November next;
The Savannah Morning News, says:—
“We learn that Solomon Cohen, Esq., has
been appointed by the Governor, director
in the State Bank, vioe It. B. Young, re
signed.
Bank of England.
The bullion in the Bank of England is
now, in round numbers, ninety million
dollars, and this time last year it was not
fifty-five million dollars. Yet there is a
general flatness in all brandies of trade,
arising from a continuance of the want
of confidence, created by tho last com
mercial panic.
Large Bale of Sugars.
There was unusual activity in the New
York sugar market, on Thursday, the
29th ult., and about seven thousand hogs
heads were sold at an advance of one
eight cent per pound. Tho sales were
probably the heaviest single day’s busi
ness ever transacted in that market in
the article of sugar.

Reduction of Taxes.
The Milledgcville Recorder says : “The
tax acts of 1862 and 1864, now in force,
authorised and required by the Governor
and Comptroller General to raise $375,-
000 and not more than $400,000 net
money for tho Treasury, on the tax
books roturned to the Comptroller Gene
ral’s office. As tho State needed the
money, previous administrations in lay
ing the per cent, upon property have
tried to come as near the $400,000 as
possible, without making the fractions
too small to aunoy collectors and tax
payers in collecting the tax. This year,
however, in consequence of the increased
payments of the State Railroad into tho
Treasury, tho Governor and Comptroller
General have determined, we understand,
to levy the per cent, in reference to the
smaller sum, and have consequently re
duced the tax to soven and a half per
cent, on the SIOO, or to three-fourths of
a mill on a dollar. It is supposed this
will net to the State Treasury about
$880,000.”
Crop*, &c.
Extract of a letter to the Milledgeville
Reootder, dated Walker couDty (Cherokee
country), July 24:
Health generally good. The oat crop
is almost an entire failure. Wheat crop
vory light, and quality inferior, injured
more, no doubt, from joint worm than
from rust. The oorn crop, with favora
ble seasons, may reach an average, but
oannot make such crops as those of ’56
and ‘67. Hogs are dying considerably
in some neighborhoods from some kind
of an epidemic. Money is unusually
soarce and business very dull generally.
The Edgefield (8. C.) Advertiser of re
cent date says:
Already is the drouth of the dog days
felt, and that seriously, by the in coming
crops. Corn has been injured within a
few days beyond what could have been
supposed from its flourishing condition
two weeks siuco. In some localities the
appearances are indeed becoming desper
ate. The general remark is, that the
fields were scarcely ever seen to blight
more suddenly. Yet it is also true that
much of tho old corn is pretty well
made ; while a good rain might yet
save the later fields. The crisis, how
ever, is a doubtful ono.
The Jackson (Tenn.) Whig of the 30th
ult. says:
The crops of corn and cotton through
out the country are looking remarkably
well, though in some portions raiu would
be beneficial to the corn crop. The
prospeot for potatoes, those delicious
esculents, was never better, and with a
large yield, of courso there will bo cor
responding low prices.
The Trenton (Tenn.) Journal of the
81st ult. says:
The recent rains in this county have
had a wonderful effect upon the growing
crop. Corn, cotton and tobacco all look
very promising, and unless some aocidont
should happeu to them, will yield abun
dant crops.

For the Daily Sun.
Eds. Sun: Every day some new dis
covery is made, some new object of inter
est is brought to light, some new creation
of genius is given to tbe world, some old
relic long lost is restored, and thus we
are continually adding page upon page
to tho history of the world. And now, it
is evident from discoveries recently made, !
that in ages long past, the valley of the
Mississippi, or at least a certain portion
| of it in the State of Mississippi, was in
habited by a race of people far exceeding
tho present generation in point of stature.
Those wbo have ever visited tbe “Mis
sissippi Bottom,” as they coll it thore,
cannot fail to observe that the whole of
the land in the bottom is vory low, flat
and level, but not marshy, though sub
ject to annual overflow in tho spring of
tho year, from rains and tbe melting of
tho snow and ice in the mountain and in
tbe north, coming down tho Mississippi
river.
They will also observo in that section,
a great many mounds, from ten to thirty
feet higher than tho surrounding coun
try, and they are so regular and peculiar
in their shape and formation, as to favor
tho opinion that they were thrown up by
the ((and of art rather than by nature,
some of them being perfectly circular at
the bose, with a smooth, level plain on
top, while others nssume the shape of a
now made grave of huge dimensions, all
however, preserving a marked degree of
symmetry in form. They are also found
single, and in groups or clusters, and
they have most certainly stood “in statu
quo” for ages, in proof of which tho size
of tho trees growing upon them is suffi
cient evidence. During a sojourn of some
months in that country, not long since, I
j was at the houso of a gentleman who had
| some of theso mounds on his plantation,
and, being led by curiosity, he dug into
several of them, and found rude earthen
vessels, largo pipes, various curious im
plements of stone, and in one of them be
found some bones of a human skeleton.
Numbers of liis neighbors visited him to
see his curiosities, and among his visitors
was a Surgeon, who examined the bones
and put them together os well as he
could, many,* however, being missing,
and he assured mo that it was a human
skeleton, and beyond doubt eight feet in
length. The skull was very perceptibly
much larger than that of the largest man
in the present day, though I do not ro
rnomber that any particular measurement
was made of that. This seems to me to
have some weight in proving that the
Mississippi Valley has, at one time, been
inhabited, if not by a race of giants, at
least by a people among whom were some
very largo specimens of humanity. And
from these mounds being thrown up
higher than tho highest water mark,
makes it appear that they may have lived
upon them as a protection against the
overflow of tho river, in place of the pres
ent levee system now used upon that
river, and have also buried their dead
there. And theso mounds appearing
singly, and in groups, might lead us to
supposo that there may have been villages
auil country residences.
This, Messrs. Editors, I have seen, and
assert upon my own responsibility. I
give it to you as I have seen it, without
embellishment, and as a plain, unvarnish
ed narrative of fncts. It certainly pre
sents a wide field of speculation for the
curious in such matters.
If you think it will be interesting to
your readers, you can givo it to them,
with my guarantee of its truth.
Very respectfully, yours,

Thieve* and murderer* In Texas,
The Indianola (Texas) Courier says:—
Wo learn that considerable excitement
lias prevailed in Goliad and adjoining
counties for near two weeks past, in con
sequence of tho.discovery of a band of
thieves and murderers. Wo learn that a
man named llryant Wurdick, whose name
was published in the list given in confes
Bion by Mitchell and Warren, was killed
by a party last week, and others were be
ing pursued. There seems to be no doubt
about tho existence of an organized gang
of robbers, whose operations extend
through a number of counties in North,
Middle and Western Texas, and tho peo
pie of several counties are organizing to
exterminate them. A business letter from
a gentleman in Goliad to one of our citi
zens, dated July 21st, contains the follow
ing paragraph which we are permitted
to extract: “This county is all in arms
against a gang of horse thieves and mur
derers who have been discovered amongst
us. Ouo of the gang has been shot auil
four hung. They are the gang who mur
dered tho Mexicans for tho past two
years.”

A Good Man’s Wish.
1 froely confess to you, says l)r. Sharp,
that I would rather, when 1 am laid in
tho grave, someone iu bis manhood
would stand over me and say, “There
lies one who was a real friend to me, and
privately warned mo of the dangers of
the young; no uno knew it, but he aided
me iu the time of need. 1 owe what 1
owe to him.” Or, 1 would rather have
some widow, with choking utterance,
telling her children, “There is your
friend and mine, lie visited me iu my
aflliction, and found you, my son, an em
ployer, and you, tuy daughter, a happy
homo in a virtuous family.” I say 1
would rather that such persons should
stand at my grave than to have erected
over it the most beautiful sculptured
monument of Parian or Italian marble.
The heart's broken utterance of reflec
{ tions of past kiudness, and the tears of
j grateful memory shed upou tho grave, are
! more valuable, in my estimation, than
tho moßt costly cenotaph ever reared.
A whole family, brought to destitution
in England, has had ail its misforltiues
clearly traced, by the authorities, to an
uugovernable passion for novel reading,
entertained by the wife and mother. The
husband was sober uud industrious, but
his wile was iudolent and addicted to
reading everything procurable iu the
j shape of a romance. This led her to ut
| terly neglect her husbaud, herself and
her eight children. Oue daughter, in
despair, fled the parental home and threw
herself into the haunts of vice. Another
was found by tbe police chained by the
legs, to prevent her following her sister’s
example. Tbe house exhibited the most
offensive appearance of filth aud indi- i
gence. In tbe midst of this pollution,
privation and poverty, the cause of it sat
reading the latest “sensation work” of
the season, and refused to allow herself
to be disturbed in ber entertainment.

Arrival of the Zouave DeHiviere—
Great Excitement—The Chevalier in
Limbo.
The steamship Huntsville, from New
York, came up to the city a few minutes
past 4 o’clock p. in., yesterday. The firing
of her gun was the signal for an immedi
ate congregation of a large crowd on the
wharf, all intent upon getting a sight of
the famous gallant, Deßeviere, who was
reported to be on board aud iu pursiutof
his inamorata, M>ss Blount. The ship
was some time settling down into her
birth, and it was not a little amusing to
witness the evidences of curiosity that
nirnil'ested themselves in the auxious
crowd. Tho air was excessively hot and
close under the blutf, hut this tritiiug in
convenience seemed not to impair, in the
slightest degree, the interest of the as
sembled multitude in the hero of the oc
casion and certain events that awaited
him.
The steamer having neared the wharf,
Sheriff l’rendei gast was the first to go
aboard, followed by certain suspicious
looking geutry, looking for all the world
as if they were charged with some of tho
delicate offices of the law. Upon consult
ing the list of passengers, the nnme of
Do Reviere did not appear, but the cap
tain politely informed the Sheriff that ono
Lewis David corresponded in every parti
cular with tbe gentleman who was the :
object of bis search. This Mr. David be- ‘■
ing pointed out, the Sheriff gently took
him aside, addressed him by his proper
name, which he acknowledged, and in
formed him that he was his prisoner by
virtue of two warrants issued at the in
stance of Col. F. S. Blount, one to keep
tho peace toward tbe said Blount, and the
other for the abduction of the daughter
of the informant from tlio State of Alaba
ma, with the intention of defilement. The
law of Alabama makes this offense pun
ishable by ci ntiuement in the penitentia
ry, and Col. Blount, we learn, can clearly
make good the charge by proofs, now in
his possession, that our gallant Lothario
was, at tho date of tho abduction, married
to a lady in the State of New York.
The Zouave took the awkward circum
stances that had so suddenly come upou
him with much coolness and composure.
He acknowledged tbe authority of the
Sheriff', and expressed entire willingness
to do his bidding. The stage having
been run aboard and secured to tho
steamer, an immense crowd immediately
thronged the cabin of the vessel, until
the air was almost suffocating. The
Zouave was quietly seated in the aft part
of the saloon by the side of tho Sheriff,
and earnestly engaged in conversation
with a gentleman familiar with his native
language.
He is, upon the whole, a fine looking
man, some six feet in height, well pro
portioned (so far wc would judge while
lie was in a sitting po>ture), dark hair
and eyes, while his general aspect is
more German than French. A patch of
court-plaster on Ins right cheek marked
tho wound recently received in a duel at
Mobile, which is well uigh healed. He
is evidently a traveled man, and lias
learned to brave the up-hill points in tbe
journey of life and to look with the eye
of a philosopher upon every fate.
Matters having hecomesomewhat quiet
on the dock Sheriff Preudergast came
ashore with itis prisoner, when both en
tered a buggy and drove down the bluff.
This movement revived the sensation and
the crowd rushed down tbe Bty halting
at every block to be prepared for a sight
when the party should drUe up into the
city. The buggy eventually emerged
from below and was followed by the mul
titude to Justice Connell’s office, at the
corner of Bull and Bryan streets, where
a full bench of Justices, composed of
Messrs. Couuell, Staley and Russell, were
convened for a preliminary examination
of the matters charged in the warrants.
Messrs. Bacon and Levy appeared for
the State and Joseph Ganuhl, Esq., for
tho prisoner. Some discussion occurred
on the point of jurisdiction, but it being
late, the further consideration of the ca-e
was postponed until to-day In the
meantime Capt. de ltiviere was committed
to jail.
Tho next sitting of the magistrates
will be held at the Court House, and we
learn it is the intention of Captain de
Riviere’s counsel to place Mis. Blount
aud her daughter upou the stand. The
scene will doubtless bo rich aud commaud
a full louse.
It is said that these ladies continue to
be thorougly identified in feeling with the
accused, and maintain that the legal pro
ceedings against him are an outrage upou
right and justice. Mrs. B. has offered
to defray all the expenses of the defence.
Upon the whole it is a curious case, but
p-rhaps we may get at tbe merits of it in
the course of the testimony.
Fever anil Ague.—A case of eight months*
standing cured by Uiekhave’s Holland Bitters.
Michael Kelly, No. 117 Seventh, nearUraml street,
says:
“Last July, while running on tho river on a
Cottull boat plying between Nutchi z and New Or
leans. I was taken with Fever and Ague. For
eight long months 1 sutl'ered with this dreadful
disease. The greater part of this time 1 was una
ble to work, and spent at least titty dollars for
different medicines, hut found uo permanent re
lief. Three weeks age one of my friends insisted
upoumy trying Uierhave't Holland Bitters,saying
that a cure was guarant at. After taking it for
oue tveok, 1 must state, X was a sound man. I
have been at work now for two we, ks and have
had no return of the Chills and Fever whatever.”

vinced by observation, of its great efficacy in re
