OLD AND NEW WORLD,
gigantic rebellion in japan. ■
150,000 Insurgents on the Rampage--
Wholesale Slaughter, Arson and. Plun
der -
New York, August, 7. — A Japan
letter says on the 21 st ult., ten thou¬
sand men, mostly farmers, assisted by the
former Daqaois’ retainers, armed with
swords, attacked the Government castle at
Fukuoka,set fire to the building,destroyed
all the official books and papers,and killed
six officers. Four are said to have died by
their own hands as they saw the rebels over-!
powering them. Three officers only es- |
caped, and fled to Lags, GO miles above j
Nagasaki. The telegraph line from Yoka- i
hatna which passes through Triknsen, was
utterly destroyed, and the overland mail
road was blockaded so that information is
obtained slowly.
A report has reached Nagasaki that the
houses of all the people in Kakati and
country round about, who would not join
the insurgents have been burned, and the j
dwellings of rich men and the banks have i
been robbed. The insurgents are said to j
number at least 150,000. The cause of
the revolt is that the government has re
quired the taxes of farmers to be paid in
money instead of produce, together with
a probable failure of the rice crops.

Fredericksburg, Va., Aug. 8 .-The
steamer Wawasett, running on the Poto

at Chatalaton Landing, and was destroyed.
She had about one hundred and fifty pas

fifty lives are lost.
Six bodies were found up to two o’clock,
three white ladies, one child and two col
ored children. Miss Virginia Marbury,

horror is finally confirmed. Most of the
passengers perished.

trip for Cone river. She was burned off
Ghat ter ton landing, where there is no
wharf - The passengers and freight for
that point were being descharged by small
boats. One boat had been lowered. When

remains but a broken shaft and smoke

The passengers registered when she left
Washington one hundred and ten, but
she received and discharged passengers at
various landings, of whom there is no
record. The crew consisted of twelve.
The loss is probably fifty passengers and
two of the crew.
The cause of the fire is unknown. As
80011 as the flames were discovered she
was beaded towards shore, but struck on
the bar on the Virginia side,
Many ladies and children were.aboard,

people.
Ten bodies have 1 reached the wharf, five
unknown.

the captain’s account.
Captain Jno. Ii. WoodH, of the Wawas
set, is burned around the neck and ears
slightly. His account is substantially as
follows: The fire broke out at tweuty
five minute's after lV’b’cTdck, between
Thomas’ Gate and Chatterton. I was in
the pitot house at the time. A fireman
came up . and . told . ,, that the boat

The boat reached the beach in about 12
or 13 minutes after the alarm was given.
In less than live minutes after the alarm
was given the fire was in the rear of the
pilot house. The engineers refused to
work about a half minute before she
struck the shore, and the boat run a length
before she came to a dead stop, and
grounded in. legs than five feet of water
at the bow. I remained on the hurricane
deck until the flames had burnt the win¬
dow curtains in my room, and the
saloon windows below were shoot¬
ing forth fiery darts. I then came
down on the forward deck, and did what
I could to save the pasengers. A great
many were afraid to jump overboard, I
assured them they were safe in jumping,
as the water below was not over their
heads, and upon this assurance done or
two made a leap, and many other
seeing that the water was shallow fol¬
lowed their example and were saved. It
was with difficulty I checked them jump¬
ing over iu large bodies and drowning
each other during the excitement. I am
satisfied that nearly all the lives tost were
lost in the stern of the boat, and forcing
the passengers to jump or be burnt. Just
before I left the boat I heard a lady, Mrs.
Taylor, of Alexandria, crying for help
from the rear of the vessel. I saw her
hanging to the middle chains, and sent a
boat to her rescue, and saved
her. I am satisfied the excitement
eansed undue loss of life and that
every passenger was saved who
jumped overboard forward. A great
many lives were lost on the life boats by
being overcrowded before the boat stop¬
ped. Two of them were crowded with
colored passengers, and when she was cut
loose the stem bulged out and swamped
the craft. About a dozen small children
were aboard, and I think five or six were
lost. JThe fire caught in the hold, but it is
impossible to tell just where. The boat
was very dry, almost like tinder, aud the
flames, when they struck the oiled ma¬
chinery, spread like a torch. The cargo
was of a miscellaneous nature and contain¬
ed nothing inflammable,except two barrels
of whisky, which were in the forward
hold and were among the last things
burned. The passenger list and manifest
of the vessel was lost, it being impossible
for the clerk to reach the office to obtain
it. At the time of the accident but tow
of the passengers were asleep, and none
in the state rooms. Some were lying down
on sofas. The Georgians came along
on her way from Baltimore and brought
a few of the passengers. Many went down,
through the uountry and others are wait¬
ing on the banks to come home. All were
taken care of. The steamers value I es¬
timate at $40,000.

The following incident occurred re¬
cently in Gwinnett county. We quote
from the Lawrenceville Herald :
While a thunder cloud was rising the
other day, and the electric flashes were
becoming very vivid, Mr. James Goss, a
well-to-do farmer, was standing in his
yard noticing au immense number of
buzzards flying circuitously, close
together, at a very considerable height.
AU of a sudden an electric discharge
pierced their midst, literally causing
them to flutter and fly off frantic¬
ally in every direction, while two toll to
the earth like chunks, dead. As soon as
the cloud passed over, Mr. Goss, in com¬
pany with some others, went to the spot
where they fell, and found them torn and
terribly larcerated. The elictricity took
effect upon the right wing, and the right
leg of each, divesting the bones of all the
flesh and integuments, leaving only the
large quill feathers adhering to the wing
bones by the small ligaments. The bones
of one did not appear to be broken, while
those of the other were broken to pieces.
Such a phenomenon has seldom been
witnessed.

And the Headlight of the same date

The Selma Times , of the 9th inst, says:
“The caterpillars, as anticipated, have
made a general appearauee again, aud
this time in far greater numbers than
before. The present crop has apparently
come to life during the past, forty-eight
hours. The damage done just yet is Slight,
but unless they are speedily killed off, the
cotton crop will be greatly shortened, and
upoU some plantations there will be almost
a total failure.”
The North Alabama Reporter says.
(( From all quarters, the crops of both
corn and cotton are reported sorry. The
corn crop in this valley will be much
shorter than last year, but the recent
rains have helped it very materially. We
think the cotton crop will be nearly as
good as last year, though some of our

opinion.”

Punch has a pathetic picture of a mar¬
ried couple on a oalling trip. As they
wait at the door where they have rung the
bell, Augustus is thus cautioned : “Au¬
gustus, love, let me beg of you ! Do not
give way to auy insane demonstration of
delight: before the servant, if she says
they’re not at home 1 ”
Affable stranger in the Royal academy,
London: “There, sir, my work ’ung on
the line again ! Sir Francis can appreci¬
ate a good thing, sir." Astonished stran¬

temptuously) : Pooh? ’E may have
painted it, but 1 made the frame!”
The latest method of spending the hon¬
eymoon is reported from Italy. schoolfel¬ An
Aihericau recently met an old
low, whom he had not seen for r y ears,
“You here? ii Yes, my dear fell ow, I
have just been married, and am come to
pass the honeymoon in Italy.” “And
yotlr wife? I . My wife ? Oh ? I left her
in New York?
During the lale war an old lady went
into a store and asked for some candles,
for which she had to pay a higher price
than ■usual. Upon remonstrating she was
told it was owing to the war. “Lor’!”
ejaculated the poor old woman, holding
ilp her hands, “Weil, I never knowed
afore that they fit by caudle light!
Well, to Vie sure !”
An old lady, hearing somebody say that
the mails were very irregular, said : “It
was just so iu my young days—no trust¬
ing on ’em.”
A Critical Season.
Toward the close ol the warm season the
long continued heat begins to tell upon body
and mind. Both being exhausted, and we
feel instinctively that n iture, after fighting a
gallant battle with a debilitating tempera¬
ture is drooping at last and requires to he stim¬
ulated and reinforced. This, therefore, Is a pe¬
riod of the year when a course of Hosteiter’s
Stomach Bitters is especially useful. The im¬
mediate efiect of this unequalled vegetable re¬
storative is to strengthen the stomach, sharp¬
en the appetite, tone and regulate the bowels
ami give steadiness and vigor to ti e nerves.
As a preventive ot the endemic nnd epidemic
complaints that prevail at this season, and as
a remedy for indigesth n, liver disturbances,
nervous debility, constipation, languor, head¬
ache, and all irregularities o! the bowels, this
pure and wholesome vegetable tonic and al¬
terative has no equal among medicines.
