THE UNION & RECORDER.
B8H
MILLED SEVILLE, OJL:
Wednesday, Kay 6, 1874.
She Bon. 0. L. Pease and his Wife.
Our readers will find in another place
a communication from the Hon. O. L.
Pease, a member of the world renowned
firm of Pease and his Wife, Atlanta. In
Atlanta, Pease and his wife are consider
ed as Oracles, and Mr. Pease’s communi
cation is somewhat Oracular. W e have
no doubt it is full of wisdom; but like
the responses of ancient Oracles, it is
deep, dark and hard to be understood.
Mr. Pease charges us with taking his
name in vain. We believe the time will
soon come, when he will retract that
charge and admit that we have made his
name famous. He then complains of us
for associating himself and wife with the
companv we did. It is true we have as
sociated Mr. Pease with some rather
suspicious characters, but that could
have been easily explained by pleading
the custom of the place, hospitality &c.
B it Mr. 1 ’ease has prevented any such
excuse by declaring he always selected
his company. As a friend, we regret he
made that admission. But if he has come
out from such association untarnished,
he deserves great praise. Mr. Pease, in
tracing back his ancestry, goes farther
than the Darwinian theory, he derives his
family name from a garden vegetable.
But he does not tell us whether he is a
green pea or a dry one. We suspect Mr.
Pease has seen too much good society to
bo green, and if he is dry, he keeps well
soaked, and swelled out, or lie would not
insist that we should “put a handle to his
jug," and call him “Hon. O. L. Pease.
We are very anxious to be on good
terms with, the whole Pease family and
will do anything in reason for that pur
pose. Whether we support Pease and
liis wife for Governor, depends on eir
cumstances. We will take the liberty
of a friend and advise him not to
take that journey to Europe and the
Sandwich Islands. It will not improve
liis qualifications for Governor. As a step
ping stone to gubernatorial honors, let
him stay at home and stand for Mayor of
Atlanta. We unhesitatingly promise him
our support in that race. Mr. Pease al
ready knows all of the secrets of the At
lanta ring, and with our assistance it will
be hard if he can't get elected- We shall
be glad to hear from Mr. Pease often and
know of his present wellfare and future
prospects. We would also like to know
if Miss Polly Peablossom is a relative of
his?
Congressional Humbug.
It is customary in Congress when one
of their number dies for some one of his
colleagues to announce liis death and pro
nounce an eulogium upon his life and
character. After that, other members re
capitulate a long string of his public sera
vices extolling his virtues but keeping his
vices in the dark. The death of Senator
Sumner gave Congress an occasion for
expending a large amount of gass, and
perpetrating a great deal of humbug.—
Mr. Sumner had very few real friends in
Congress when he died. He had once
occupied a very prominent position among
the Bepublicans, but after his quarrel
with the President on the San Domingo
question he was hated by many of the
Republicans, even worse than by the
Democrats. The Democrats had many
very powerful reasons for disliking him.
The Southern people for many years have
been the special objects of his dislike and
persecution. He professed to believe that
slavery was the sum of every crime and
villainy under the sun, and the principal
object of his Senatorial life was to abuse
and persecute the South, and one of the
last acts of his life was to cliarge his
friends in Congress to take care of his
civil service bill, and that bill was intends
cd to enforce political, civil anti social
equality between the whites and blacks.—
With such a record it is not strange that
Mr. Sumner should become an object of
special dislike to the Southern people.—
He had probably been the means of do
ing them more injury than any other man
in Congress, and whenever he got an ojj
port unity be bestowed upon them m^re
abuse and slander tlian any other man.—
When such a man died it was natural for
those who had always sympathized with
him in all of his abuse andwarfare against
the South to praise him and revere his mem
ory, but for Southern men to praise
Charles Sumner and pronounce eulogies
upon his life and character was an insult
to the Southern people, whom he had so
often slandered and villified, and it seems
to us it was also a perversion of proprie
ty and good taste. It did no good—the
Radicals knew that they were not sincere
and they must in their hearts have de.
spised men who had always abused Mr.
Sumner whilst living, that turn and praise
him when dead; both could not be sin
cere. To be consistent it was not neces
sary to continue their abuse after death.
They could have kept silent and let his
friends recapitulate his good qualities if
he had any.
The Currency Bill.
The Radical members of Congress,
fearful that the President's veto will split
their party, are trying to agree upon some
compromise to save the party. This they
may effect so far as Congress is concerned^
but the people will have something to
say about it next fall, and we predict that-
a great many of the Radicals now in Con
gross will be elected to stay at home.—
The ball put in motion in New Hamp
shire and Connecticut, we believe will roll
uver the Western States with accelerated
force and velocity until the whole country
snail be redeemed from Radical rule.—
,.. e ,° \ cr ^ es of “loyalty” and “reb-
, aTG luuc h of their power to
charm, and the people, even at the North,
prefer honest Democrats to loval thieves!
Radical plunderers and defaulters have
nearly exhausted the patience of the peo
ple, and they have determined to have a
change They judge correctly when they
say a change in all probability will be for
the better, and can hardly be worse. Let
the defaulters and thieves now in office
set their houses in order, for the time will
soon come when they will have to give an
account of their conduct whilst in office,
and abide the judgment of an injured
people.

The Civil Bights BUI
Reports from Washington give very
sure indications that the Civil Rights
Bill with many of its worst features will
become a law. The negroes will no doubt
rejoice greatly over this, as they tbink it
will give them social equality with the
whites. But this is a great delusion. It will
only exasperate the whites and make the
gulf that separates the two classes w ider
than ever, and it will effectually destroy
the free school system in all of the South
em States. It will also help to destroy
the Radical party. The people at the
North have become sick and disgusted
with the whole negro question. Espe-*
eially are they sick of him as a politician
and statesman. They see what he has
done in Louisania, in South Carolina and
in Florida, and they are determined to
get. rid of the negro in politics. But
they know they can’t get rid of him
whilst the Radical party is alive, and
they must get rid of both together. Rad
icalism will die at last of the negro, that
will be a just and legitimate end of the
party.
PEASE AND HIS WIFE.
Letter from the Bon. O. L. Pease of
Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga. April 27th, 1874.
Mb. Editor :
I learn that you have taken my name
in vain—that you have repeated it once,
thrice and many times—that you have
committed the unpardonable sin.
I am astonished that a man of your tal
ent, with judgment so keenly trained in
the affairs of men and human nature at
large, Yvould have classed me and my wife
in the company you did. Boys from the
mountains and schollars from log cabins
have become Governors of States, even
Presidents of nations. It is true in our
official and political associations we are
compelled to mingle freely with the Pie**
bians. But knowing, as I did, your an
cient schooling in Milledgeville politics,
and your systematical training in the art
of making Governors and removing Cap
itols, you would never have done it at the
expense of my good character and ambi
tion of future honor. It is human to err—
it is greatness in man to forgive, not di
vine. I pardon your folly and forgive
your mistaken view.
Though my idols are broken, my laurel* are dead,
Hope* are all buried, my character lias Bed,
even from my youth up I have on all oc*>
casions selected my company ; and further
back than Georgia’s history, even in the
spring time of primitive* days, when by
chance that early plant, the pea, \vas first
discovered, from whence, no doubt, came
the origin of our family name, even from
those remote days of antiquity until now
has the good name of the Pease tribe
ever been tarnished ; even the little Peases,
as they trudge along to the free school—
by the by they are proud, for I tell them
that rich folks and Governors of States
are the patrons that give it support; and
when they look up to their five feet three
inch paternal proportions, they are proud
er still, expecting, as they did, that at no
distant day they would be a President or
a Governor’s son.
But alas for hopes while frying fish,
That lard ran in the fire ;
It was all for gain but the rising flames
Left nothing to desire.
If you will promise in future not to
publish my companions, and give me your
influence when I am nominated for Gov
ernor, and send me the last copies of the
Recorder, I will talk to my wife, whose
dander is now up, and buy some candy
for the young Peases, and use the full
influence of my corporeal dignity among
the Pease tribe to quell the storm that
has ruffled the feathers of the whole
brood. We go to Europe and the Sand
wich Islands in the Spring ; on my return
from the Continent, and the advantages
of European society, by that time my
former associations will be forgotten, and
by the aid of your valuable columns, I
may be enabled to secure the honor my
past services to the State so richlr merit.
With many kind wishes for the pros
perity of the “Recorder,” I have the hon
or to be the nearest relation of Mrs.
Pease and the rising star of the Pease
tribe. Hon. O. L. Pease.
P S.—Do not forget in the future that

Letter from Savannah.
Savannah, May 3rd, 1874.
Leaving Milledgeville on the afternoon
of die 1st, by the Central R. R., we
sapped at Gordon, and sojourned in
that interesting village until the hour of
nine, about four hours. Thence on the
main line of the Central to Savannah, we
made a pleasant night journey. The
road, however, is not in that exquisite
order which distinguished it a few years
since; and instead of a fine passenger
train with Pullman’s Palace cars to be
met with on other roads, we foimd our
selves in a plain passseuger coach at the
rear of 15 or 20 freight cars. Tim Con-,
ductor, too, was very polite and even
kind, and wholly free from that arrogant
curtness which passengers sometimes en
countered in the years gone by. Well
has the poet said “sweet are the uses of
adversity.” Since the vast tumble in
value of the stock in the road, and
wretched, diminishing dividends arising
from Wadloy’s ill-judged operations, it is
well for Wailley’s subordinates to prac
tice more conciliation and courtesy to the
road's patrons, whether he shall learn to
practice that useful lesson himself or not.
Savannah is rather dull now. We ex
plored its forest depths extensively yes
terday in furtherance of several business
objects. A more lovely city than this
surely cannot be found under the sun.
We had the pleasure of meeting here Col.
Hunter and Hon. Mr. Williamson of Mil
ledgeville. Col. McKinley had been so
journing in the city a few days, but had
gone on an excursion to Sapelo Island.
Among the pleasant gentlemen of this
city we met yesterday, we take pleasure
mentioning Mr. S. P. Hamilton, exten
sive jeweler; Mr. S. Olin Talley, Cashier
of the Merchants’ National Bank; Mr. Jno.
Cunningham of the popular firm of Clag-
liom and Cunningham, and one of the
best of the Central Railroad’s Directors;
Mr. O’Brien of the fine dry good’s store
of Gray & O’Brien; Mr. John Hammond,
Jr., formerly of Midway, and Mr. Jno.
Johnson once of Milledgeville. We saw
on the streets Col. Farrow, U. S. District
Attorney, the Federal Court being in ses
sion here at present; and we also had a
glimpse of Air. William Rogers, General
Superintendant of Central R. R., one of
the most pleasant gentlemen anywhere
to be seen, judging by appearance, and
whose good looks have suffered no dam
age from the reduction of wages of snbor
donates on his road.
This morning we were aroused about
2 o’clock, a. m., by a cry of fire. The roar
of flames, and the ruddy glare on my
window told of its proximity. We dress
ed hastily with the view of rescuring our
self and our traveling trunk from illus
trating the growing popularity of crema
tion; but fortunately the fire companies
were promptly at the spot and restricted
the fire to the burning of the one square
where it broke out. A less fire would
scarcely have been respectable in so large
a city as Savannah; but we most sincerely
sympathize with the sufferers, many of
whom were uninsured. The burnt square
was enclosed by Whitaker, St Julian and
Bryan Streets, and Johnston Square.
Among the uninsured sufferers was Mrs.
Steiger of the well known Steiger photo
graph gallery. The following persona
were burnt out: Mr. Burkert, Mr. Funk,
Mr. Robider, Mrs. Steiger, Mr. Quinan,
Mr. McKenna, Mr. Roche, Phil. Herman
and S. Elsinger; total loss estimated at
over $20,000. The buildings were old
and wooden, .and were swept away in the
brief space of three quarters of an hour;
to be replaced we trust, by non-combustible
ones of brick and mortar.
Longing to return to the most delight
ful city in creation, we shall set forth on
our journey to Milledgeville this fore
noon. w. a. n
News*
Gen. Colquitt saw Mr. Stephens iu
Augusta a few days ago, and wjys sur
prised to hear that gentleman reiterate
the statement that Mr. Hill was not in
Richmond at the time in question. Mr.
S. thinks Mr. H. has confounded a meeting
of the Georgia delegation in his room, to
consider a set of resolutions he hail him
self prepared looking to the appointment
of a Commission by Congress, with the
subsequent action by Mr. Davis in tbat
regal'd. He is positive and uncomprom
ising as to the truth of his statement, but
Gen. C. thinks Mr. Hill ought to know
best where he was on the 27th of Janua
ry and up to the 3rd of February.
A mysterious case of garroting that
nearly terminated fatally, is reported in
the* Atlanta Constitution of Friday. A
man named William Bell was found lying
in the store of Holmes & Calder on Thurs
day night with a handkerchief tied around
his neck, and the folds almost buried in
the flesh. He was nearly dead. Mr.
Calder of the firm was with him and first
attracted the attention of some parties
who were passing the store by calling to
them, “ Come in and see what I’ve got in
my store.” There seems to be a great
mystery abont the affair, and whether
Calder was drunk or crazy, and whether
he or some other person was the garroter
is not known. He was carried to the
guard house, however, and the case will
be fully investigated when Bell recovers
sufficiently to tell what he knows about
the affair.
The EufaulaNews says: The first white
shad we have ever known to be caught in
the Chattahoochee river, was “taken in”
by Mi - . Austin Cargile, last week, at liis
fishery, two miles above Eufaula.
The citizens of Rockmart, who are suf
fering with small pox, write tq the Mayor
of Atlanta for muses and provisions.
Some of the poorer families winch have
been visited by the disease are in a starv
ing condition.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Cliron-
icle and Sentinel says that district will
not suffer for lack of Congressional can
didates, Atlanta alone being willing to
furnish five or six. Messrs. Hoge, Hill-
yer, Mayor Spencer and E. P. Howell,
are all suggested. We have an idea that
Monroe county can furnish a candidate
who will be dead sure to win.
One of the editors of the Sandersville
Herald says he “has been traveling now
about five weeks, and during that time I
have not met with one man who ex
pressed himself upon the subject, who
was not in favor of Hon. Herschel V.
Johnson for the next Governor of Geor
Mr. Boardman, in liis regular monthly
report of rainfall published in our last
issue states that nine and twenty six one-
hundredths inches fell dnring last month
in Macon, against three and a quarter in
ches during the corresponding month of
last year. The rains of last spring set
in heavily in May, and according to our
recollection continued till into July. The
summer was a very wet one in the South,
as all remember. This year let us hope
for some abatement of the rains dnring
the current month.—Telegraph & Mes
senger.
Atlanta has a couple of cases of small
pox.
Crops are unusually backward in Wilkes
county.
Wheat in Morgan and Green counties
is promising.
There was a heavy snow at Dahlonega
on Thursday last.

The Vote on the Vetoed Bill.
The following was the vote in the Sen
ate on Tuesday on the proposition to
pass the finance bill over the President’s
veto:
Yeas—Messrs. Allison, Bogy, Bore-,
man, Cameron, Carpenter, Clayton, Con
over, Dennis, Dorsey, Ferry, of Michigan,
Ingolls, Johnston, Lewis, Logan, Mc-
C beery, Merrimon, Mitchell, Norwood,
Oglesby, Patterson, Pease, Pratt, Ram

Nays—Messrs. Anthony, Bayard, Bout
well, Buckingham, Chandler, Conkling,
Cragin, Davis, Edmonds, Fenton, Ferry,

Gilbert, Hager, Hamilton, of Maryland,
Hamilton, of Texas, Hamlin, Howe, Jones,
Kelley, Morrill, of Vermont, Sargent,
Scott, Sherman, Stevenson, Stewart,
Stockton, Thurman and Waddell—30.
So the bill was lost for want of a con
stitutional majority.
The Eastman Atlanta Business
College.
This institution has achieved a success
which is unparalleled in the history of
Commercial Colleges. Starting in Atlanta
Ga., May 0th, 1871, with four students, it
has already sent out to the business world
nearly THREE HUNDRED STUDENTS
to attest its superior merits. The secret
of its wonderful success is, 1st. it is the
only College in the South that is conduc
ted on the Actual Business Plan. 2nd, it
keeps up, to the letter of its advertise
ments; 3d, it is conducted by men who
have had years of experience as practical
accounts, business men and teachers. The
total cost for a full course, including
board, washing,tuition, hooks and station
ery, will not exceed §130. For specimens

THE KUl JUPTUS.
The ‘Tree That peitroyR Malaria-’
BY JOHN DARBY, M. D., PRESIDENT OF WESLEY
AN UNIVERSITY, KENTUCKY.
The above is the heading of un extract
taken from the London Telegraph. Ga
lignami’s Messenger gives glowing -ac
counts of the same tree, not only as destroy-
nig malaria, but in drying up swampy land.
A memoir was read before the French
Academy of. Sciences describing the
supposed peculiar properties of this
tree in effecting these two results, viz :
rendering malarious atmospheres pure,
and rendering swamp} lands tillable.
We have no disposition to deny these
powers to the Eucalyptus and are ready
to give credence to them all; but we at
the same time believe that other trees are
equally efficient in both these respects.
By numerous experiments we are certain
that vigorous vegetation will disinfect
.my portion of the atmosphere, however
loaded with malaria.
That the Eucalyptus possesses any
properties in the above directions super
ior to all other plants, ive should not
infer from any circumstance relating to
its constitution, and we do not see any
reason why an interest should be centered
on a foreign plant when every plantation
in the South produces plants of equal
efficiency in destroying malaria or drain
ing lands. We have only seen the Euca
lyptus in conservatories, and cannot state
positively concerning its peculiar con
stitution, but we are very Yvell acquaint® i
with some of its near relations. It
belongs to the order myrtaeea, which
includes our common pomegranate and
myrtle, the clove and guava. Its leaves
are thick and compact, not indicative of
rapid transpiration.
The Eucalypti include some of the
most gigantic trees on the globe, rising
often to 200 feet, with 150 feet without
a branch or division of the stem, forming
elegant columns crowned with branching
tops of beautiful foliage, emitting a balsa
mic odor. There are numerous species.
London gives 30, Don gives 50, and De
Candolle 52, and it is supposed as many
more are undescribed.
The Eucalyptus globulus is characteris
tic of the genus, growing in its native
forests 150 feet, with leaves six inches
long and one inch wide, resembling the
leaves of the oleander, but rather longer.
All leaves have numerous pores or mouths
(stomata) through which water and oxy
gen are given out into the air, and car
bonic acid and perhaps other gases are
drawn in. These mouths are mostly on
the under surface of ordinary leaves, and
their number varies greatly in different
plants On the under smlaoe of tfio ap
ple leaf, there are 24,000 months on every
square inch ; on the vine leaf, 13,600; on
the plum and cherry, about 90,000 ; while
on the yucca (Adam's needle) there are
40.000 on every square inch of eaoli sura
face ; on the mistletoe, only 400. It is
evident that (ceteris pariqus) those having
the greatest number of mouths will emit
the most moisture. Not now being able
to determine the number on the leaves
of the Eucalyptus, yet I judge from
similarly constituted leaves that the num
ber cannot be over 50,000, for the nearly-
allied pomegranate has but 20,000.
Since all the moistue issues by the
leaves, it is evident that natre has made
no special provision for excessive action
in these respects in those plants.
Other facts, that experiments reveal
tend to the same conclusion. By accurate
observation it is found that one acre in
cabbage will raise into the air during the
growth of the plants, 1,200,000 pounds
of water; the same space in sunflowers, 1,-
500.000 pounds; d wail pear trees, 3,000,-
000 pounds; hops, 4,200,000 pounds gl ass
(Poa anuna) 6,500,000.
It has been estimated fr om the most
reliable data that an acre of forest, with
vigorous growing ordinary trees, raises
into the atmosphere in twenty-four horns
800 barrels of water. We have no reason
to suppose that any of the Eucalypti could
do any more.
That we can make swampy or marshy
places dry by simple cultivation the above
facts make evident; and not only so, but
years ago we accomplished the end in
converting a ivet, SYYampy bottom into a
fertile garden by simple cultivation. Vege
tables destroy malaria in three Yvays—by
absorbing it by the leaves, by the produc
tion of ozone through the direct action of
the solar rays on the leaves, and by the
oxidation of volatile oils that the plant
maY’ give out. That vegetables do de
stroy malaria js an opinion believed by
the ancients. Pliny says “groves- and
trees absorb and destroy mephitic Y-a
pors.”
Rome and the plains of in an
cient times were healthy, and the plains
densely populated, but a forest to the
southYvard being destroyed, Latium be
came an uninhabited desert, and malar
ions influences were greatly felt in Rome.
We knoYv a village in Georgia, a mile
from the Ocmulgee, Yvhich had been heal
thy and prosperous for many years, but a
thick forest in a bottom betYveen it and
the river being destroyed to make corn
and cotton, the village YY-as destroyed by
nialaria.
But yvc are not left to any generaliza
tions in regard to the matter. We can
trace malaria from its orgin to its disap
pearance as readily as we can water. We
find malaria under the branch of a
tree, and Yve cannot find it among the
leaves. We can find it on one side of vig
orous vegetation and pot on the other
side.
Many years ago, Lieut Maury planted
sunflowers around the observatory at
Washington, and escaped the effects of
the malaria of the Potomac bottoms, and
lienee it Yvas inferred that the sunflower
possessed specific properties for destroy
ing malaria. This plant possesses no
superiority in this respect over numerous
other Y-egetables. Other plants would
haY-e performed the same office. So far,
then, as the foliage is concerned, we do
not deem the Eucalyptus as possessing
any peculiar power over malaria. But it
yields a balsamic odor. This odor is a
volatile oil, and by its oxidation yields
ozone. This ozone, being one and a half
times lieaiier than the atmosphere, sinks
down from the lofty foliage and meets the
malaria as it rises and destroys it- Our
pines do the same thing. Opr pine forests
are notoriously healthy, not because the
soil is usually sandy, but from the ozone
produced by the volatile oils eliminated.
The sandiest regions are often the most
of malarious. Crooked Island, in the Gulf
Mexico, on the coast of Florida, is special
ly malarious, although only a bed of sand,
because destitute of Y-egetation. Valche-
aen, on the coast of Holland, became the
burying ground of more than 20,000 Brit
ish soldiers, although a mass of sand, but
excessively malarious. Where no vegeta
tion is, there is malaria, unless on nieta
morphic rocks..
With vegetation all malaria may bp de
stroyed. A residence in the most malig
nant location of the river bottoms could,
be made healthful by proper arrange
ments of vegetable growth.
We have no idea that the Eucalyptus
has any advantage over the‘trees grow
ing in our native forests. Many of our
Southern SYvamps are not malarious, and
Yvhen they are, nature has presented the
type of what we have to do. If malarious
the borders are encircled by vines and
dense Y-egetation, and the trees are bung
with the long moss, all to suck up
and destroy the malarious emanations.
Those not malarious will not be tlins
encircled, but are open to the surrounds
ing country. Malaria cannot go through
living foliage.
We imagine the position that the Euca
lyptus globulus, has attained in public
estimation was accidental as the case with
the sunflower.
We Yvould be glad to have our people
import the noble Eucalyptus, but not for
the purpose of drying up our marshy
places or purifying our air, as we have
abundant means for both at our very
doors. *

Tern lilt Shaking on Friday, April 17th—Old Fort
» Gr-atly Excited-Great Alarm.
On last Friday, at fifteen minutes past
5 o’clock, p. m.,tlie people of Old Fort and
many other places in the Yricinity of Bald
Mountain, were greatly startled at the
terrible shaking of tliis mountain. Every
body in the village of Old Fort was rous
ed to the highest pitch of excitement for
the time. The effects are described by
the following gentlemen of unquestioned
veracity:
Col. J. C. Whitson, the depot agent at
Old Fort, was sitting in a chair within
the depot at the time. He heard a terri
ble, heavy, rumbling noise—says the
bouse shook yerv perceptibly; that the
chair in which he sat shook very consid-
erablv, and that the glass in the windows
of the depot building rattled continuous
ly for some seconds. S. IN orthen heard
a terrible noise at tbe same time; Yvas in
his house, and felt the house quiver in
every part—the sound was like a heavy
body of snow sliding off the bouse—ran
out of the house and called the attention
of others to the same.
J. C. Haight, a merchant in Old Fort,
YY-as sitting on the counter at the time—
felt the counter move and house shake
the string of tinware hanging aboY'e the
counter vibrated like a pendulum for sev
eral seconds—several spoke at the same
time. One man said, “What is that 9
Another said, “Is not that an earth
quake?” The sound was like a heavy blast,
then appeared to die away, making a
noise like a lieaY-y wagon running over
plank.
A. Dalton, who lives on the side of
Bald Mountain, says the shock Yvas terri
ble, so much so that lie could not tell
whether the, sound YY-as over him or
under him. He says the shaking
more fearful than in February.
J. W. Halford, yvIio lives on Rock
Creek, near Stone Mountain, was alarm-
at the same hour by Y\-liat seemed to be a
heaY-y blast, or a very large bomb burst
ing—the noise and quiver of the earth
YY-as more severe than ever before—lasted
longer than usual—the boards on a little
house Yvere heard to rattle like quick
showers of hail falling—felt the earth jar
beneath his feet—says all the people have
become quite serious, and are much
alarmed. The same noise, but less terri
ble, Yvas heard by many persons at about
10 o’clock tbe same night.
R. L. McBrayer—Lives five miles from
Bald Mountain; heard the same at 6ame
time of the day; Yvas plowing in the field;
his horses became alarmed with fright: it
appeared to be a rolling sound under the
ground like distant thunder, says the
people are again greatly alarmed, and
many propose to leave the vicinity.
James Burgin, Yvho lives on the head
of Crooked Creek—had been plowing,
but Yvas setting on a very large rock, and
everything perfectly quiet, YY-ith his back
to the southYvest and liis face to the north
east; the rumbling began under and be
hind him, and at the time it passed under
him it appeared most intense and severe;
the noise appeared like a huge rock roll->
ing on and going- downward all the time,
Yvliere it appeared to have a resting phfee;
the sound Yvas calculated to produce great
distress and alarm.
R. P. Wright, who resides five miles
east of Bald Mountain, on the hoad-Yvaters
of Cane Creek, says the noise appeared
like distant thunder, and seemed to get
nearer to him—shook his house very
much, and lasted several seconds. This
Yvas between 4 and 5 o'clock.
Isaac JiY-da lives in Henderson county,
at a distance of nine miles; the quaking
was so sexere that sticks of Yvood sitting
against the fence Yvere seen moving and
quivering; much alarm in the vicinity
The same noise and rumbling was also
heard at Marion, a distance of twenty-
four miles; but not so severe.
On Friday evening, at Old Fort, every
thing wore the aspect of seriousness, and
the people here, at the distance of twelve
miles frojn Bald Mountain, feel many
serious apprehensions.

Ajittle Roc^, Ark., April 28.—U. S.
Grant, President: On the 19th day of
this month, as Governor of this State, I
telegraphed you there Yvas an armed in
surrcction against tlio legal government
of this State, and made a requisition
upon you for aid to suppress it, and to
prevent domestic violence. I have just
now been advised you never received the
requisition. I now take occasion to say
that an armed insurrection exist in this
State against the lawfully constituted au
thority thereof, and as the Legislature
cannot meet until the 11th day of May, I
call upon you- for aid to protect the State
against domestic Y-iolence.
E. Baxter,
Governor of Arkansas.
A similar call had previously been re
ceived from Brooks, claiming to be Gov
ernor, and tYvo attorneys in liis behalf
reached here yesterday to urge a com
pliance with the call. Two attorneys dis
patched by Baxter will soon arrive on a
like errand in his interest. The question
as to Yvho is the actual GoY-emcr Yvill be
presented to the President for decision,
unless some other mode of settlement
shall intervene before the matter is for
mally taken up for executive considera
tion.

the doors of houses, maltreat citizens and
raise the mischief generally until the po
lice YY'ould appear, Yvhen they would re
treat into safe quarters in the Barracks.
We have since before called this matter
to the attention of the officers.
Last night, shortly before twelve, news
was brought in that they were at then-
old work, and the two full watches went
out to the scene of the trouble. A party
of twenty five soldiers wag passed, who
began whistling to others. Beyond these,
and near the Terra Cotta Works, the
police came upon a second party, Yvhich
they Yvere ordered to charge. In execu
ting this order, one of the soldiers fired in
to them twice, and soipe twenty five shots
were fired back. One of the soldiers fell
and Yvas passed, and another was captur
ed, being too dmnk to get away. The
sentinels came doYY-n and challenged the
police, and in the meantime, the retreat
ing soldiers got in the Barracks gate.
Coming back, the Yvoqijded man could
not be found at the place where he fell,
but Yvas afterwards seen crawling up a
ditch, on all-fours, and crying “murder.”
He Yvas evidently seriously if not fatally
hurt, and was not arrested. Having res
tored quiet the police returned to their
quarters. We would again earnestly call
the attention of the officers to this griev
ance. If let alone, there will be constant
trouble every night, as the soldiers will
come out, and the police will have to be
called upon to protect citizens and prop
erty. There certainly ought to be some
YY-ay to check the eY-il.—Atlanta Constitu

Washington, April 26.—The gravest
charges are boldly piade here in regard
to the manner in which the intelligence
of*the President’s veto of the Senate fi
nance bill was used by certain of the
White House ring, people to further their
stock jobbing operations. It is said tliat
H. E. Offiey, formerly chief clerk of the
Navy Department, who had just opened a
broker’s shop near the Treasury Depart
ment, telegraphed the news of the veto to
NeYv York an hour before it YY-as sent to
the Capitol. Considering the close rela
tions Offiey bears to Secretary Robeson,
it is by no means improbable that he had
official notice of the President’s intention.
At lire same time it is notorious that Jim
Casey, the day before and up to twelve
o’clock on the day the veto was sent to
the Senate, Yvas busy assuring corres
pondents of New York papers that the
President would sign the bill Not an
hour before the message was read in the
Senate Casep told the agent of a Wall
street house that the President had sign
ed the bill, aud he did this with the full
knowledge that the intelligence would be
telegraphed to New York. There is not
the least doubt that this was done to far
ther the stock jobbingoperations of Casey,
Ingalls and the White House ring genet*
ally.
