On last Wednesday Mike Jordan was under the
impression that he had been deeply wronged by Isham
Wallace in this, that Isham visited a fish-trap and
took the fish when Mike thought it was his day to eat
fish, so he ‘•went for’’ Isham with a butcher knife, and
indicted eight or ten wounds, some of them very se
rious ones. It seems this fish trap belonged to parties
who took turnabout fishing it. Whose day it was to
get the fi.-li will probably he ascertained before liis
honor Judge Harriett at the August Term of the
Court. Mike Jordan was arrested and carried before
Justice Fair who remanded him to jail to nwait the
result of the wounds inflicted by him. This little un
pleasantness occurred on the plantation of Mr. F. C.
Furman near this city, which is rented, we believe,
to Charles Hawkins, and the parties belong to the
colored way of thinking.

New York, June 13.—The Secretary of War. ac-
cording to a special from Washington, has submitted
to the Department of Justice a statement of the condi
tion of affairs found by the War Department to exist in
the division of the late Freedmen's Bureau charged
with the settlement of bounties to colored soldier.
The statement sets forth that the claimants fur whom
treasury certificates had been issued and seut to the
Frcedmen’s Bureau for payment, have never received
their money, although they are maikt d on the records
of Bureau as paid, and reported to the T.easurv by
the disbursing officer of the Bureau as paid and so
credited in the statement of his account. Fo, this
fraud the Secretary of War wishes to know ihu degree
of responsibility under the law of Gen. O. O. Howard
and his disbursing officer Gen. Ballock. Vt hen the
War Department took possession of the records of the
Bureau unpaid claims were found amounting lo?73,-

Atlanta as Seen by a Sentnckian.
[Correspondence of the Courier Journal.]
Chattanooga, Tenn., May 20,
1S7J.—I got away from Atlanta seri
ously impressed with what enterprise
can do for a community, entirely un
supported by capital. The Herald is
the most sensational, rot to say dashy
and readable, paper in the city. Do
you know that it was established on
a capital of $169 10, all told? Its edi
tors and proprietors are young men
and sensational writers, and the possi
bilities of these virtues combined are
incalculable. Atlanta is a city of
newspapers. With a population of
3-3,000, it supports, after a Jashion,
about seven daily and weekly journ
als. I have heretofore stated that
one can spend more money in Atlanta
and get smaller returns than in any
city of the globe. This is literally
true. The Kimball House charges $4
per day for rooms on. the third floor,
and under. But the fourth floor has
been placed on a financial footing
with the third. The first floor counts
for nothing, financially. The building
is six stories high on the outside, aud
physically inside and financially it is
only five. When you start up to go
to the third floor, you get very weary
before reaching it, and, ou suggesting
to the chaperoning contraband that he
is taking you too high, you are an
swered, “Oh, no, sir; this is the third
development of country which is ex
pected to result from it. The Viceroy
has recently largely increased his su

fedars, or acres, of land with sugar
cane, he now has 150,000 under culti

management one hundred cantars of
gray sugar and twenty-five cantars of

The Cotton Crop.—The crop pros

From the planters of different sections
who visit our city, we learn nothing
at all encouraging, if we look to a
large crop as a thing to be desired.
On all sides, we hear that the grass
has taken possession of the crops, and
that under no kiud of weather, can the
crops be gotten clean, without mate
rial damage to the cotton; in many in
stances, ruining the “stand.” For two
weeks the rains have been continuous.

A few more experiments in mingling

moval gossip tells of many bad head
aches, among the members of the Leg
islature, the water being of bad quality.
The Other Side of the Question.
There is much talk as to the meth
od which should be pursued, in furn
ishing Captain Jack and his braves
with passports to the realms of Pluto.
Some advocate a military court-mar
tial, others the civil courts, and a few
Oregonians wish them hewn in pieces
like Agag of old, and made food for the
buzzards. On one point there is great
unanimity of feeling. All. concede
that they must and shall die. The old
savage and his clan, meanwhile, are
conscious only of having fulfilled one
of the most sacred duties of Indian
existence—that of revenging the blood
of their slaughtered kindred. Chain
ed and manacled though they be, and
occasionally threatened with the tom
ahawk and scalping-knife by old ene
mies of their tribe, who are permitted
to taunt them in their misfortunes,
these dogged spirits retain their sub
lime indifference to death, and only
gnash their teeth at the clanking fet
ters which confine them.
Their doom is sealed ; and as soon
as a few red-tape formalities have been
complied with, they will swing upon
the gibbet as certain as the earth con
tinues its revolutions around the sun.
But what of the survivors of those
who treacherously slew without mer
cy, so large a portion of Capt. Jack’s
kindred a few years since, under a flag
of truce, and situated precisely as was
Gen. Canby and his associates.
The United States Government, du

simply been acting out and continuing J
