TI1E UNION & RECORDER. |01d ‘Southern Recorder" and “Federal Union’ consolidated] FOIl SECRETARY OF STATE, [Subject to a Democratic nomination,] N. C. BARNETT, Former Sec? clary of Stale. Wednesday Morning, November 20, 1872. “What Will You Do About That?”'—All persons indebted to this office are earnestly requested to make payment; or, at least, let us know tbeir reasons for failure so to do. If they are unable to pay, we expert to do, as we have always done, forgive them the debt; if they are unwilling to pay, it is but just to those who do pay as well as to ourselves, that their pa pers should be stopped; if they ever expect to pay, now is about as good time as they will ever have. If we could by any possibility get our much indulged subscribers to pay in advance, we think we would be willing to rub out and commence over. If anybody believes that it costs noth ing to publish a newspaper they are mistaken, or il anybody believes we are able, if willing, to publish a paper on credit they are mistaken again We have this to say to our friends in Baldwin county, especially, that we cannot afford to dun and beg for two dollars at the end of the year. If the paper is worth anything to you, pay for it; if not, say so and let us stop it We trust every subscriber on our books will accept one of the above three liberal and fair propositions— and the sooner the better for us. What was Defeated in the East Presidential Election! Horace Greeley was defeated, and Gratz Brown was defeated, but demo- ocratic principles were not, because they were not in issue. The Cincin natti platform was defeated. This platform contained many sound princi ples, which was probably one cause of its defeat. The leaders of the Ad ministration do not want an honest Government, but they want things to remain as they are; if they can con trol the resources of the country, for four years more, they will be rich enough perhaps to satisfy even them. No wonder they fought desperately to retain power. They were fighting with ropes about their necks, they knew if the government went into honest hands they.would be caught in their rascality and be compelled to disgorge some of their ill-gotten gains. If Horace Greeley had been elected, we have no doubt these public plun derers and thieves would have been brought to justice, and we regret en that account that every Democrat had not laid asside his prejudices and voted for Greeley. But it is now certain that thousands and tens of thousands did not vote at ail. They could not vote for Grant, and they would not vote for Greeley, so they sulked and would not vote at all, but let the election go by default. It is now very well as certained that for every liberal Re publican that we gained—we lost three Democrats in the northern and western States. We regret it, and we fear the country will have reason to regret it, but such are the facts. The Democrats as a party could not be brought to vote for a man who had all his life been their bitter opponent. Democratic principles were ignored. In this election the people were array ed against the money and power of the government, but the government having the management of the ballot boxes counted themselves in. The struggle has commenced between the people and their corrupt rulers, and this struggle will go on until the peo ple shall once more obtain power or until the spirit of our free institutions shall give place to despotism. Asylum for the Sr.sane. jby carefully lilting up the vines and In common with a large portion of scraping away the dirt from the side the people ot Georgia vve were sur prised and astonished at the Reports of Drs. Cumming and Bozeman made to the last Legislature concerning the condition of the Asylum lor the insane. We were not personally acquainted with either of these gentlemen and we do not pretend to understand tiie rea sons that influenced their reports, but the writer knows from personal obser vation that many statements made in these famous reports are absurdly and ridiculously false. Hundreds of per sons who have visited the Asylum of ten, can testify to tlie neatness of the rooms and the good care taken of the patients generally. Many of the pa tients who have been dismissed from the Asylum have expressed a desire, in case of a relapse, that they should be brought back to this institution, and several have returned for the second and some for the third time; and the friends of many of the patients have often expressed their lasting gratitude towards the Superintendent and Ma tron for their kindness towards their relatives whilst in the institution The reports of Drs. Cumming and Bozeman vary so completely and so far from the experience of everybody else who have visited the Asylum as to make .these reports appear perfect ly ridiculous. We give, below the opinion of a correspondent of the Ma con Enterprise. A*»yl(iiu for the Inunne. Editor of the Enterprise: Very recently, having occasion to vi."it “1 lie ancient city,” we embraced t» opportunity, and thoroughly ami minutely inspected the Asylum erected by the Mate ot (leorgia for the proper care of her insane citizens, t he external ap pearance of the huge edifice i- remarkably impressive consulting of a centre building surmount* d with a graceful dome, and with a heavy portico a la Par thenon, and wide extended wigs, with ‘*LV’ running to the rear. The buildings are of brick, covered wbh mastic, so shaded as to represent Port laud stone, with brown stone trimmings. The front yard, or park is haudsomely embellished with i'oui ;:uu, flower beds, rock work, arbors, etc,, the peculiar care of the matron of the establishment. Mrs M. 11. Green. We introduced ourself to Dr. T. F. Green, the Su perintendent of the Asylum, who promptly anticipated our wishes, and invited us to inspect the establishment. We confess our prejudices were strongly excited against the Doctor in consequenc of having read the report of Doctors Cumming.-, and iio^emau, and we looked on everything with u jealous eye, W e first went through the male departments, and tio-n the fe male, under the guidance of the matron. The floors, the walls, the rooms, the beds, the per-ous of the pati ents were as clean as clean could be, tiie food was ad mirably cooked, the discipline, was as far as we could tee. absolutely perfect; the attendants were ah intelli gent looking, gentlemanly and lady iike people, and without an exception, possessed, kind good laces. As we entered ward after ward, the patients throng edaround the Doctor greeting him with that respect ful familiarity, that shewed he had as a rule won their affections and in a like manner the f* males, crowded about Mrs. Green. Chains, and other barbarism pre unknown here and the only restraints on over excited patients are the camisole, (or s> *v d apron with the sieerea sewed to the front of the apron. \ and the bed, with a leathern contrivance sometimes necessary, which alows the patient to do everything except iise. Corporeal punishment, ducking, hai.-h treatment, any way, shape or form is absolutely unknown. Each pa tient has a room to iiimself, winch rooms would com pare favorably with most hotels in tiie State. The walls are adorned with pictures which the patients study with great interest; they Lav.- fud opp »rtuniiies for exeicise in the enclosed portals utwu iied to the building Might and day the patients are under the direct personal supervision ot an attendant and they are never left alone except when in their rooms. The building is heated by steam and is thoroughly ventilated, and in summer a large fan drives cool air over all parts of the house. The present number of pa tients is 498, ot which many are idiots and shell'd be placed in another asylum at once erected especially for that class of unfortunates. AW were entirely satisfied by oor visit that the charges Dr. Green made by Dr. Cummings were eo ondatiA and were ridiculously incorrect, W’e trust that the Legislature will appropriate largely for this worthy and humane institution, for common charity compels them to grant all the aid in man s power to these afflic ted beiugs. Our thanks are due to Dr. T. F. Green, the superin tendent, Mis Martha II. Green, the worthy matron; Mr. F.G. Grieve, the secretary, and Master Eddie Rail, for kindiy service lend -red your correspondent At 5 1-2 p. m., we embarked on the comfortable cats of the Macon and Augusta Railroad, and under the guidance of that clever gentleman, Conductor Frank Burnett, reached Macon sale and sound, much please- with our trip.

The follwing story, which was told to me by Mr. Joseph Stewart, a law yer of this city, and a perfectly trust worthy gentleman, illustrates very apt ly the condition of the white people in South Carolina: Two Pennsylvania Quakers, or rather two sons of a Qua ker, who bad served in the Union army in South Carolina, at the close of the war, obtained SI2,000 each, ar.d pur chased a plantation in South Carolina, near Beaufort. They intended to plant cotton and stocked their plantation for that purpose. As they were orig inal abolitionists, born and bruoght up to the faith, they of course expect ed great things from the fret dmen, and gathered about them many of these poor unfortunates. The first season they had every prospect of a fine crop of cotton, and were felicitating them selves on the good fortune in store for them. When their cotton was ready to be picked, they were surprised at the small quantity brought to tbeir gin. The lreedmen stole and wasted at least one-half of it and to cap the climax, when the ciop had been near ly all gathered, the negroes set fire to the gin and burned up the remainder. The next season the brothers plan ted potatoes, calculating to anticipate the Northern market by early ship ments, before the \ irginia potatoes were ready to ship. Tmy according ly put down their whole planta tion in potatoes, and as the season was favorable, they had every promise of retriving the disasters-of ti.e previous year. About the time their crop was ready to harvest they noticed something wrong with the vines, they kt pta watch in the field during the night. Some of their most trusted workmen were de tailed for that purpose, hut still the depredations continued. The negroes protested that they could never see auybody in the fields at night and seem ed totally at a loss to account for the disappearance of the potatoes. Finally the brothers determined to go on guard themselves, without let ting their negroes know their inten tion. Providing themselves with arms they took their positions so as to ob serve all parts of the field, without themselves being observed. They had not Jong to wait. Soon objects were discovered moving about in the field in close proximity to where the trusted negroes ought to be keeping watch. One of the pi liters, getting within gunshot of the thieves, fired and woun ded one so seriously that lie cmild not run away with his companion, who, surprised at this unexpected entertain ment made for tiie swamps. When the planters scanned the features of the wounded man they found him to be one of the negroes they had been re- i lying on to protect their property, j This opened their eyes, ami the next day, upon making an examination, i [they discovered that the negroes had, ol the hills, succeeded in removing nearly the whole crop of potatoes. Indeed there were not enough lelt to to pay expenses. This was not all. Their cup of misery was not yet full. The brother who had fired at and wounded the thieving negro, was ar rested as a Ku-Klux, thrown into pris on and it was with much dificulty that he was saved from conviction. The negroes even those they had given em- A 31 os to a Veto*. The Boston Advertiser of Monday sums up the fire and its results as fol lows : Ail the domestic wool in the city has been burned, and the total num ber of pounds of freight and domestic fleece and pulled wool drgtrotcd by the fire cannot fall short of 8,000,000 pounds, while the entire stock remain ing in this market consists of foreign wool, and is less than S,0OO hales. The destruction of boots, shoe* and ployment to for nearly two years, leather lias been quite as complete as swore to the most outrageous lies that of wool, although the ttock. ol against, them. Even after the Quaker was released, he and his brother found the negroes so incensed against them, and so determined to Jo them serious injury, that they packed up a few if boots and shoes in warehouse* is much lighter at this season than it would have been about a month later, and tiie loss will consequently be less to the owners. Besides this, large qu.111- their personal effects and started North, ; tities of boots, shoes and leather w 7 ere I. J .

The wliole- Tiiis story is gwen just as I hear it. sale clothing houses, with one or two I have no doubt that it is true in every j exceptions, were completely burned, although a considerable quantity of goods were saved, and the stocks on hand was not very large. With a very few exceptions, all the commission dry goods houses were burned to the ground, not even the walls of the buildings being left Standing. Ti e destruction of the jobbing houses has been nearly complete, and the agent of the largest mills in the country say that but one of all his customers in the city has a place left for his business. The fire did not reach that section of the city occupied by the provision, produce and flour and grain trade, nor were there any losses to the fish or salt dealers, and but slight damage to the wholesale grocers. None of the hotels have been destroyed, and the railroads, with the exception of the Hartford & Erie, have not suffered, as the fire did not extend in that direc tion. There is not likely to be any such serious interruption to business as a view of the burned district would at first suggest, and with characteris tic energy a large number of the mer chants who have been burned out have secured room and offices, and will re sume business at the usual hour on Monday morning. All the old boot and shoe and com mission firms are solvent, and even strong as before the fire, and bv their solvency will preserve to Boston, un impaired, their very valuable line ot business. Very many of the jobbing firms also in the same line, came ou of the fire w T ith large losses, it is true hut able to meet all their engage ments, and to continue their business The same may be said in genera terms of the large manufacturers and dealers in clothing, Their stocks in hand are consumed, hut their surplus ot assets in hills and accounts receiva ble, together with what insurance thev may be able to recover, will save them. That there will be failures in several of the leading lines of business is probable, hut in the case of many firms, we believe, it will be found that after a suspension of payments unti they can ascertain how much of thei insurance can be realized, they will resume payments and go on as before. The area ot the burnt district will be found when carefully estimated slightly to exceed sixty-four acres, or 2,7S7,S40 square feet. Deducting the space covered by streets, the area oc cupied by buildings is a little less than two million square feet. The struc tures did not coyer ail the remaining space; but assuming that they did, and they were worth $i0 per square loot, the entire loss in buildings will amount to $20 000,000, an estimate to the correctness of which, we have the testimony of many sagacious holders of real estate. The total number of builuings consumed may roughly be stated at about seven hundred. Tli loss in merchandise ia set by the most competent experts at Dot over three times the amount of the loss of build ings, it being borne in mind that in a number of streets the structures were used principally foi offices, and con tained nothing veiy valuable, and that in many warehouses the stocks of mer chandise were low, some of the dry goods commission houses, for example, having hardly any goods instore. INSURANCE RISKS. The aggregate amount of insurance on Boston property, so far as known, is $169,432,726, divided as follows : particular. More than this I believe it is not an isolated case either. It is the same story that you hear from al most every man who comes from poor, oppressed, negro-ruled South Carolina. Tiie negroes are the ahsoluto masters of the soil. The triumph of the Moses party— the election of another negro Legisla ture—will intensify the viciousness of the nogroes, and the white people, who have remained in the hope of some am elioration of the evils under which they have groaned for so long, will now 7 be at the mercy ot the black and white vampires. SAPPHO. A story is told of two prominent ministers of Newport, the favorite New England summer resort, which is too good to be lost. Rev. Dr. T., of the Trinitarian Congregational Church and Rev. Mr. B., of the Unitarian, be ing on the best terms, were one day invited to dine at the house of a mu tual f riend. Mr. B., for some reason, failed to come, and some one at the ta ble took occasion to remark upon his excellent qualities. “Yes,” said the Doctor, ‘ he is a very fine man, but isn’t it a pity he will swear '?” “Mr. B. swear ! What do you mean ?” was the exclamation on all sides. “Mr. B. is a very fine man,” persisted the Doctor, “but I am sorry to say he sometimes swears.” Being pressed for an expla nation, he finally yielded. Sometime before, the two had been out fishing together, and as the Doctor stood on the rock, be heard some conversation between Mr. B. and a fisherman, who were a little distance from each oth er. The fisherman said: “I’ve got a d—d good bite.” “So have i,” an swered Mr. B. “You see persisted the Doctor, “that though Mr. B is a very fine man, he will swear.” We find that there is a Count of Monte Christo now living in Holland. He has offered to the Columbian Con gress, South America, immense wealth. It is in a mine of platinum. Now 7 , platinum w 7 as first brought from South America, in 1735, by the Spanish traveler, Ullona. It is still found there in its native state in small lumps and grains, and sometimes in nuggets of several pounds weight. A lump as large as a pigeon egg was found by Humboldt, and is deposited in the museum at Berlin* In the museum at Madrid is a nugget Jrom Condoto, South America, weighing over eleven thousand grains, and a lump found in 1827, near the Demidoffmine, in Rus sia, turns the scale at eleven pounds. Platinum has of late become valuable for various purposes, and a platinum mine is not be despised. The Con- ress of Columbia, however, has refus ed the offer of these Hollanders, espe cially as a little gratuity of some thir teen hundred dollars gold was requir ed as a prelimiuery requisite to open negotiations.

The Inde pendent Order of Good Templars seems to require all others lo disperse and unite with them, and that the pledge be obligatory forever, though they should with draw from the lodge.

The soil is similar to that of most of the uplnn 1 plains in Colorado, and covar* d a- present with a thick crop of grass and wseds. Bunches of current bushes, laden with frait, olus- ler about the wooden rocks and above, to tbe top of the ridge and along its crest, are sorabby young pines and a few large trees. At tb* foal of the hiii, thiee hundred yards to tha westward passes the old s’age road from Denver to Santa Fe. The traveler, looking up, could see a ledge or mass of rough-looking rocks, rising t*o or e feet above the surface of the ground and about toriy feet in length Camp fires have bean built ega list it and campers have doubtless sought shelter from the storm or sun under it* projecting front, little dreaming that they reclined in tbe adow of a palm tree 'I he pupils of a school hous near bv have played r.b-utit many a day.— Last winter a hunter for curious specimens stum bled upon it and guessed its true character 8pe cim- ns were brongbt to D. river and pronooaced by the best authorities petrified palm wood.

In the heart was either a hollow or a mass of decayed wood, from four to six feet in diameter. The cppar side f the log has been broken up by tha action of thfe elements and frost, destroying between one third nd one-half in circumference, and the fragments lie scattered about in huge blocks Tbe more than half that remains intact is a huge trongh ;|the sur face of the earth is even with its brim on tbe up- ill side and ten leet below it on the down-bill -i le- As betorc stated, this section is thirty-nine feet long. As near as can be determined without excavating th ■ adjacent earth, the diameter of tbe tree at its base is twenty-two-feet Midway of its length, or twenty lei t from tho base, it is fifteen feet The second s efion is twenty-one feet long, aud eviih ntiy lirs where it fell. Striking square across the ndg. , the immense weight almost bur ied it in the earth Its outlines are bard to deter mine without digging , but at mid-length, or fifty feet from th - stump, it is certainly mne feet in di anieter- The two sections, as described, measure j st sixty feet in length.

I have beau a great sufferer for years, an i had the advice of various physicians. Some pronounced my spine, some my lungs, and some my heart to be the seat of my dis ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until I bad become disheartened. Several very eminent physicians who examined my spine informed me that i was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any day and that nothing but a setou would relieve me, I had a perfect horror ot that, and was hesitating about having one inserted, when you kindly sent me your Sarsaparilla which I immediately beguu to take three times a day. I had Buffered terribly with a mr st acute pain in the riglr, side of uiy head, especially when I would read or write for auy length of time, and on rising to my feet I wjhld be periectly blind lor several minutes, and would nave to hold to something to prevent falling. 1 am moat happy to inform you that the pain in my bead is entirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my spine and then not *o acutely My appetite isgood; indeed for the first time in my life l enjoy my dinner more than any meal during tbe day.
