Limifrti h >Y ■i" J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR. SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, L37L' ESTABLISHED 1850 FLORIDA COUKKSPONDENCE. Welbobm, Suwannee Co., Fla., June 20. Editor Jfoming Seva: Seeing no many otbeya writing to tbeifgW! from Jidrtdft, I have detemined lo\prH? •lab, BOt because t hope t*> eqnal other* who have written, but because I have seen no letters from this place recently, and I am not willing that our pleasant little village shall always remain unknown to the Test of the world. We have a very pretty location bare, and in point of health, oar village 2a unsurpassed by any in the State. This place i# the highest pciut on the J. P. and M. Railroad—between Jacksonville and Talla hassee-being two hnndred feat above the level of the uea. I mnat confess, though, that in some portion* of it, it ia necessary to dig ditches in rainy weather, such a# we have been having for a mouth past, and that Said ditchfta are very much infected by tboee ferocious monsters known as tadpoles, and by those very musical four-legged animats known as frogs, which often, in the darkness of Dight, make the air to reaonnd with those entermining musical performances common ly called “frog concerts. ” The crop# io this section of country were very promising until this rainy season, which I have already mentioned, set in. Stnco then, a# the North Carolina “Ur-heel” said, on bis first visit to Florida, we have had ••very l^ng spells of weather.” The result has been that all crops on low land are al most entirely destroyed, while those on high er ground are improved by the rain*. One farmer in this coexunnity planted twenty acres of low land in oats, and one cart load was the revolt of his labor, and I expect hia horse has M gone through” that already. Another had a very promising oorn crop when “the rains descended and the floods cams,” and wh*n thoy left hia corn left with tb«m. But those whose farms are higher are making splendid crops. I beard a farmer, who lives in what is known as the “Tmegrove Settlement,” say that hi# erop this year is bettar than it has ever been before. And, Mr. Editor, I aee in the Dailt News a great desl said about the “Prettiaat Girl in Georgia” and the “Prettiest Girl in Florida,” and all that sort of nonsense. Now, Mr. Editor, I juat want everybody to know that pretty girls with us are no rarity. They *re as plentiful aa —well I might almost ssy a# the “Hands on the seashore,” but * won t be extravagant, because the snbject c^oitrs me. Suffice it to say that it is just as a speaker at our school examination remarked: “We have as many pretty girls as any place in the State, and an many ugly boys as we have pretty girls.” He accounts for this extraordi nary phenomenon by saying that “the boys all look like their mother# and the girl* like I their fathers.” Now, I think this is pretty hard od the mother#, and donbly so on the boys, after all the pains the poor fellows have taken to cultivate very frail moafitacbos, to keep them well dyed, and try to make the best appearance they possibly could before those pretty .girls. The fact is, Mr. Editor, boys have a bard time of it. I believe in “boy’s rights" as well aa “wo men’s rights,” “negro's rights,” Ac., and whew I get to Congress (for yoa must know that I think of going to Congress as soon *f they sweep out dirty Rads enough to make room for a person of mj importance), I in tend to iutroduc# a sort of “Seventeenth Amendment" to give boy# a few right#. Bat I expect you are getting very tir*d of my nonsense, and so I will close. Bat before doing so. ns a minuter always tells bis coo gregation, “my friends, I should like to #ey just one more word.” If this should meet tho eye of any person who wish*# to make the ‘Land of Flowers” hi# home, I would say to Lira, come to Suwannee county, and after yon get to Suwannee county, if you don’t find Welborn the healthiest and most pleas ant place ip it, then I must eay that you have very little penetration about yon. And furthermore, if you come to Welborn you will have the privilege of seeing all those p.etty girls and ho warmly welcomed by all of oar citizens, who are always glad to see men of the right sort settle among them. Yours. Ulrica Ontt, Es<4. Important Decision bt Judge Erseink. John H. Wallace filed bis bill in tht District Court of United Slates to foreclose mortgage on real estate in eity of Atlanta. Mortgage dated December 10, 18G8. The defendant, Patrick U’Keif, by was of answer, sot up a# a defence the fact tbat the Ordinary of Fulton county had set apart the mortgaged properly as a homestead for him and bia family under and by virtue of the following provision of the Constitution of Georgia, adopted in JSQ3, and the statutes passed !□ pursuance thereof, to-wit: Article VII, and Seotion I, to-wit: •Each bead of a family, or guardian, or trustee, of a family of minor children, shall be entitled to a homestead of realty to the value of two thousand dollars io specie, and personal property to the valoe of one thou sand dollars in specie, both to be valued at the time they are'set apart And no court or ministerial officer in this State shall ever have jurisdiction or authority to enforce aoy judgment, decree or execution against said property to set apart—including such im- provements as may be made thereon from time to time, except for taxes, money bor rowed and expended in improvement of the homestead, or for the purchase money of ‘.be same, and for labor done thereon, or mate rial furnished therefor, or removal of encum brances thereon.” The Court held the answer insufficient to defeat the foreclosure: and that the home stead law, passed in 1368, and the aotion of the Ordinary in pnrsusnoe thereof wo# ille gal and void, coming in oonfliot with th* right of the plaintiff to enforce his contract and lion made and created on the land in 1866, as the effect of snch homestead law, if carried into effeet in this case, would be to impair the obligation of the contract Coaascl lor plaintiff, however, conceded thst defendaut aould avail himself of the homestead lew in force at the date of the mortgage, and hence the decree was so shaped that defendant should receive $500 of the proceeds of the property when sold. — Atlanta Constitution. nays rains have fallen throughout North Louisiana since the Hth day of April.

A Warnixo.—The New York Kvmmf l’osf (Republican) makes the occasion of the elec tion of a Democratic Governor in New Hamp shire a fitting reminder to the Republicans that only so long as it can show a clean record need it expect the support of the honest voters. It says: “The significant part of this somewhat curious condition of affairs is that it has bean produced by a Legislature which oontalm a clear working majority of men who voted twioe for Mr. Lincoln for President, and for Gen. Grant in J868; who supported the Re publican party in evsry ejection until the Ad- mi sistrsti on rejected reformer# like Hr.

Mr. Vallandigbam oocupied room No. 15, on the second floor of (he Lebanon House, the room immediately over the half door, and fronting oa Broadway, the widest and handsomest street ia the place. He had returned bat a short time from a Walk with Hon. A. G. McBurney, of Le banon, and Thomas Milbkin, Esq., of Hamil ton, associate counsel in toe defeuse of Thomas McGehan, from Turtle Creek, inth* outskirts, whither the gentlemen repaired at the instigation of Mr. Vallandigbam to witness experiment performed by him of shooting with a revolver at a piece of cloth in order to *how bow close the mozzle of tho weapon could be held to the material without powder burning it. Mr. Vallandigham had a new Smith A. Wesson’s improved revolver, with five eham- bora of the No. 32 calibre, and tried his ex periment with what success I cannot now de termine, but, as the party returned Mr. Millikin remarked to Mr. Vallandigbam that there were three loads remaining and he had better discharge them. “No," replied Mr. Vallandigbam, “never mind." Mr. Millikin urged; Mr. Vallandigham resisted, and soon after reached the hotel and entered his room, where be placed tbe loaded revolver on the table with an unloaded weapon, winch he intended to use in bis argument on Monday before the jury in illuatratiug his theory tost Thomas S. Myer* shot himseif. M. Hymme#, of Hamilton, entered the room, Mr. Val landigbam remarked that he felt badly; he had just bad a telegram announcing the dan gerous illner* of bis wife’s brother, Hon. J. L. V. McMahon, of Cumberland, Maryland, and Mrs. Vallandigham had gone to attend that dying bedside. A few sympathetic words and a #o jial glass, and the friends eat down, soon to be joined by Mr. McBurney. TUB NATAL ACCIDENT. No one unacquainted with Mr. Vallandig ham can fully appreciate hi# wonderful energy of character. It has carried him through almost unparalleled difficulties, and given him a name and place in whioh every civilised tongue repeated for several eventful years, and never, probably, did it shine out with such promise as in this latest eflort of hia legal career. Upon the defense of Tom McGehan he concentrated every faculty of mind, throw ing his entire being into it with an enthusi asm mad force which tboee associated with him in the case—and they have best right to know—say eclipsed every former effort, and gave promise of success in a case already tried, judged and oondemned at the inexora ble bar of public opinion. Day and night h« devoted himselt to it with unremitting pains. Everything calculated to contribute ia the least to strengthen the defense Mr. Vallan digham eagerly performed, and it was iu di rect pursuance of this that be lost his life. “I will demonstrate to you id a moment," said he to Mr. MoBnrney and Mr. Nymmes, “the absurdity of Follett’s argument that Tom Myers did not shoot himself” With that, be seixed one of tbe pistols lying on the table, and putting it in his right pantaloon# pocket, continued: “Now here is tbe way Tom Myers bad his pi*tol iu his pocket”-- Mr. Symmfs here interrupted him, and excusing himself, left the room to Ree Judge Pope on business who at that moment pass ed room 15 on hin way to his own room on tbe floor above, and retired. Mr. Vallandigham bad theD only one au ditor and spectator—Mr. McBurney. “You see, McBuru*y, bow I bold this pis tol r “Yaa." “Very well, now; Myers drew bis out this way, and ae the muzzle enme up to here about he palled the trigger." Mr. Vallandigbam helu tbe muzzle of bis pistol against tbe right side of hia abdomen, at a point almost exactly corresponding with that where Myers received the bullet, and to th* infinite astonishment of Mr. MeBur- n*y and himself, an explosion took-place, and the rash experimenter exclaimed: “Oh ! murder; I am shot!" The terrible situation was renlized in a moment by both. Mr. Vallandigham tore open hia garment#, and Mr. McBurney snoo- ntemed assistance. “What a foolish thing to do," remarked the wounded ms a, a# be pointed to a little rad spot on bis spotless skin. “1 took hold of the wrong pistol, and that’s the re sult.” THE ALARM. The explosion and the call for assistance soon filled room 15, the hall in front and tbe stairway with excited people, and in much loss time than it takes to tell it here, half tbe population of Lebanon knew that Mr. Val landigbam was accidentally shot. Tbe terrible news was caught from mouth to mouth; it spread like flame in a stnbble- fleJd, and left th* same withering effect Everybody wa* transformed into a solicitous, sincere sympathiser as it by magic, and, quickly as hands could execute the com mands of wilh the telegraph and mounted couriers were heralding tbe dreadful tidings and summoning to the bedside of the now prostrate man the members of hi# family within reach, and bis intimate personal friends. THE WOUND. Room No. 15 is an ordinary twelve by four teen, carpeted, and plainly furnished with a double walnut bed, a bureau, vrashetand, small table and a few chsirs. The revolvers lay on the table with a pitcher of water, decanter and a few drinking glames, tbe bareaa wz« heaped with books and pa pers— evidsnc*s of the active studies going forward. Mr. Vallandigham threw himself on the bod and raising bis shoulders by doubling op tbe pillows, coolly and carefully contemplated the [suggestive Kttle red spot in bis side, from which a little stream of blood wss now- seen to trickle. Hi# lips were compressed, his features sUrtiiny in their expression of wildness anfi ajarm. He spoke not a word. The doctors st onee proceeded to examine the wound. Some one said “It is a quarter to nin&” Mr. Vallandigbam hod thrown off his coat and thrast aside the remaining gar ments to give tha doctors access to the wonnd. Dr. Scoville prodneed a silver probe. Mr. Vallandigham watched his motions with blazing eye#. “Any pain t" “No, not the least.’’ PROBING. Dr. SeoviUe approached this dslicate opera tion with a delicacy of demeanor becoming the occasion. The bed bad Leen drawn out from tbe walls. Mr. ValUndigham lay at tha far aids. He placed his two hands upon the wounded ride, and felt aronnd by a series of gentle pressure* for the lodgment ot the bsdl, for it bad not come through, but this selt- manipuUtion the doetors prevented, and the probing began. Th* instrument was directed inward, but did not penetrate farther than half an inch. Ah, that is good ? No, Mr. Vallandigham, you can not read anything in (be faces of yoar doetors, tbey are too prudent for that, and their prn- denc* and concealment are the best treat ment yon can have for tbe pre*«nt. But what doe* that little motion oi the Doctor’s hand mean? A motion that obtrudes bis ana between tbe eager eyes of tbe patient and that suspicious little hole? It i* to pre vent tbdse eyes from seeing the probe pats obliquely downwards and inwards far enough to satisfy tb* practiced aye that the abdomi nal cavity i* penetrated. “Doyoathink tbe wound is mortal, Doctor.” “Well, sir, we can not say that, y*t Don’t know. Therwonnd doe* not seem to be ne- qee*arily fatal.” _ Ah! there's encouragement and hope for whoever chooaes to take them, but I saw the dip of th* probe, so deftly concealed from tb* patient, and I know what it means. The wound ia dreased with plaster, and the patient placed oa bis right—the wounded side. The red flash of alarm now began to fade out of hi# face, and a twinge of pain exact* something like a groan. It is ball past ten. • , TH* PISTOL. . All this while that fatal pistol has lain upon the table. There is nothing remarka ble about it, except that it killed Clement L. Yitllsndigham. It is wbat is known os Smith A Wesson’s improved, and bears the cumber 92,584; a four-inch barrel, eolliber, 33-100ths. The cartridges were the small or short 6lz*. Had it been loaded with th® large or long size, the ball oonld not have been prevented from passing plumb through by the fleshy walla. When all was over, some debate arose among Mr. Vallandigham’s friends as • to what disposition should be made of the weapon, some advising its retention, others maintaining that it should be packed away among the effects. The former suggestion was made to spore Mrs. Vallandigham the pain of encountering the horrid thing. It was finally decided packed it should be, and away it went with all the other sad evidences of Vallandigham’s tragic fate. A CHANGE NOR THE WORSE. A*, half-past twelvo vomiting was of more frequent occurrence; the head rolled from side to side npen tha pillow, and therft was the repeated motion of the head thrown up ward and aside, such as men make in adjust ing the shirt collar. Tbe extremities grew cold; tbe abdomen wss swollen, and tbe ex ternal wound continued to poor out life’s crimson tide. “I suppose you are aware of the serious character of your wound, Mr. Vallandig ham ?” quietly observed one of the doctors. “Yes, I believe I understand and appte- ciats it," as quietly replied Mr* .Vallandig ham. Wbat! is this eventful man going to give no utterance? Dying? ha* be notbiag to *ay to the world ? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Wbat to him is all the world, with death in hia bosom, and tbe dear partner of hia life for away ? Poor Vailundigbam. ALONE. “Let every one leave the room. I am Mr. Vallindigham’s friend as well as hia physician, and I desire to be with him alone," and the dying man and Dr. Reeve are left alone. There was no concealment now. Death wa4 already at the door; no human skill could save. Tbe last communication was brief, and when Dr. Iteeve roappeared he an nounced that he would take charge of Mr. Vallandigbam; all should retire but Mr. Wil liamson and the physician. If anything Rhoald occur, friends would be summoned. DAYBREAK. Dr. Dawson arrived, and joined the medical gentlemen iu the dying room. The first faint streak of day waa seen in the east, and the gray chill of the morning penetrated the boose. It was now told that Mr. Vallandig ham wanted Dr. Reeve to “cut down to those bleeding veaselaand stop the hemorrhage.” Y„io hope; powerlena wish. “I would be all right, doctor, if I were only rid of this pain." “We will give you something for that, Mr. Vallandigbam.” A hypodermic iojectioi^.of morphine was administered The pain was relieved almost instantly, hut the man waa sinking and friends were summoned to hie bed side. That stricken son again kneeled down and bathed his lather's hand with tears. The son wa# hot tbe youibfnl image of hi# father—lovingly united in life—now terribly separated by approaching death. THE RELEASE. Bat that terrible waiting for death was sore ly protractod. It whs a heaviness that weighed everybody down, and will make that sad morning forever'memorable in the houses and home* of Lebanon. The great, strong nature of the man strug gled hard with fate, and gallantly contended for life. Consciousness was retained almost to the last moment. It looked out clear from those once magnificent eyes, and sounded in the intelligent answers to questions. As an instance: At nine o’clock too much pres sure, by leaning on the foot of the bed, caused one of the rollers to give way. tha# imparting a slight jar to the prostrated man. Mr. Vallandigham opened his eye#, and turning hi# head, asked distinctly: “What ia that ?” Earlier in the morning he heard eome one winding a watch- Mr. Vallandigham : ••Judge Home, hare my watch wonnd—it winds in the stem.” Charley came over to bis father's left, for he had now. for the first lime, since being placed on it the night before^ turned off his right side and lay upon hi» back. A brief struggle, the uneasy rolling of the head and movement of the hand#, the labored breathing, the blaxing eye, the tightening ot tbe skiu upon tbe faoe, and the dropping of the lower jaw. A few groan* escaped the beautifully arched cheat, the iris disappeared, leaving the white of the eye only to be seen, a few gasps for tbe fast fleeting breath, and Clement L. Vallandigham parted with life. J. Durbin Ward, Esq., has been retained a# counsel in place of Mr. Vallandigbam. No post mortem wa* bad, but Dr. Dawson made an exploration and found tbe wound in the right side, aboot two inches below the arch of the rib#, at two inebee in front of the lateral line, seven and * ha If i nebea from the umbilical and two inches above the umbili cal level. Tb* ball entered the abdominal cavity from the point of entrance, obliquely ‘from the above downwards and inwards, pointing to ward the left inguinal region. The abdomen was distended with blood, and (here was m constant exudation of it from the wound, dark colored and fluid. The remains were taken to Dayton for in terment. E. B. The Horse Disease.-—The disease from which horses in New York Ere suffering, and which has produced $n excitement almost amounting to panic, among horse-owners there, i# pronounced by most eminent au thorities identical with the “spotted fever” in the human system, and is of quite ancient origin. In European countries it has been an occasional epidemic for years, and ia said to prevail riequently among the Arabian and other Oriental home. Possibly the matter of ite introduction to this country may be traced to imported bloods; that, how ever, is a mere surmise. Some years sinoe it broke out in the southern part of Long Island. A large number of horse* were af flicted, but the greet majority recovered. It next appeared in Ohio, then in Rennsylvo- nir, and afterward in New Jersey, West chester county, in the vicinity of West Farms and Throgg’a Neck, was the next locality at tacked.

Her roll of distinguished graduates is longer . than that of any institution of learning this side of the Potomac. Her Alnmnnare to be found filline positions of boner and profit, in all professions and pur suits, all over tbe land—and can w#—dare we say that onr beloved Ami Mater doe# hot deserve our help? We cau not—w» dare toot She does deserve, and what ia more, Sd. She can and will reoeive our help. I showed in my first letter to yon how we coaid, all of ns, work for onr College in onr single and individual capacities. But, broth er# of tbe Alumni, this is not enough. We must organize ! Have you often attended the aocnal meetings of tbe Alumi Society, held Commencement Week ? Has not your check mantled with shame to behold the Corporal’s Guard which met, a# the representatives of the twelve hundred graduates? Why, so utterly insignificant has been our organisa tion that the most prominent newspaper in the State had nc-t heard of oar existence until it saw the last catalogue, althongh the “So ciety of the Alnmni of the University «f Geor gia” hsR been constituted and held regular an nual meetings for very olo*e upon forty years! None of us can blame tbe editor. The piti ful handful of men Who gather in the gloomy old chapel, as the twilight i# coming down on the Tuesday afternoon of the College sat urnalia, exchange a few kindly words, elect an Orator who %ardly ever speak*. »nd then disperse to the various festivities of the occa sion, without a thooght that an Alumnus owes the benign Mother more than this. The first step, then, towards arousing our mem bers to a true sense ol their duty, is to cor- reet this evil We must call a grand assem bly of tho clans. We must send out our summons throughout every State, fr>m the Carolinas to Texas, bidding onr brethren of every age to * great “feast of reason and flow of soul!" But, said Glendower, •■I can call spirit* from the vasty deep;** to which Hotspur replied: ••Why. *o c*n I. or «o can any naan; But mil thry come when yon do cell tor them ?” Will the clans tarn oat, at onr summons? I belier* they will, if proper measures are taken to induce them. These measures I propose to elaborate in a third and last letter —closing this with the most earnout entreaty that every Alumnus will not only wonder over these things, but will confer with every other Alomnu# in his reaob, and try and fan up into s flame of livingfire the smouldering ashes of onr dying love for our Old Mother. I repeat the request that the press through out tbe State will aid me in finding a hearing from every graduate in the world of the liv ing. An Alumnus or 1852. The Connolly Thaoldy in New Yobe— Terrible Result or a 8pbee.—Tbe telegraph has announced the occurrence of a shocking tragedy in New York on Sunday, in which Dr. James Connolly, a well known physician, murdered his two children, little girls, and then committed suicide. The New York papers of yesterday giro detail* of tbe horri ble affair. It *eom* that Dr. Connolly had been (wo or three days on « periodical spree, and Sainrday and Sunday took occasional doses of morphine to quiet his nerve*. About 4 p. m. Sunday h* entered th* bed room of himself and wife, on the rear of the second floor, taking the children with him *bd lock ing the door. The Wtfe soon afterwards endeavored to enter, but without suocess. The police, warned by the neighbors, entered the honse about 7 o'clock and forced open the door. The room K-iug dark, the gas was lighted, when a fcorriolo spectacle was pre sented- On the bed lay the (uth*Y and children, dead, and literally ba»b«*d in blood. The children had nothing on bat their night clothing. The father was clad in a white undershirt, covered with blood, while a pair of red flannel drawers served to add to the ghastliness of bis appearance, leading one to believe at first glance that the clothing wa* soaked in blood from bead to fopt The head-board was spatterpfl with blood, and the bad clothing and mattress were soaked. A robber ball, with which the children had ap parently bean amuaing themselves was alio blood-stained, and l*j on th© oed. The weapon toe lanatio bad used H7 an the bed. It was a carving k®ife, will* a blade sixteen ioehe? in length, and tapering gradually to a fine point. Th4 throats of both children had been cut, their inoular vein* being sev ered. The throat of the father wa* out from ear to car, and there-were beside# serersl ■tab wound* In the breast in toe vicinity of toe heart. A physician examined the bodies and announced that death had occurred sev eral hours previous* Mr*. Connolly was rendered insane for a time frr tha terrible discovery. A v*tj heavy travel to Earope i* reported. Doubtless the pacification of Pari# and the desire to see tbe scenes of so many recent terrible eventR have indneed hundreds, who would not otherwise have crosied the ocean, to visit Earope tbis season, in order to look upon ruins and desolated place*, destined to become historical, whioh, in a few short months, will bear no longer any traces of the whirlwind of fire and the bail of iron which have swept over them of late months, leaving wreck and ruin behind. Even now the natural buoyancy of the Pari# people haa, in a measure, returned to them with the restora tion of peaoe. Thousands of laborers are everywhere at work itt tha street* and In th* vicinity of toe burnt sectibn^ clearing away the rubbish of barricades, destroyed and orumbling edifices, and all the architectural and other impedimenta left by toe fallen Com- mnne. Refugee families and strangers are also returning d&ily in great numbers to tb* city—some of tbe former to diacoyer their homes in a#bs#, and tbe latter to pursue with a titkI eagernesa the dnty p{ following op the track of desolation and viewing the points of interest made memorable during the day* of ton revolution just closed in blood aud fire. Baris, called “tbe Beautiful," will soon forget the horror* that sow make her a Ge henna. . The quarters of Belleville, Mont martre, and La Yiilette—the homes of the late Communists—will probably not so soon cease to remember the havoc that waa made in the ranks of (hofr denizens during the sanguinary l**t week of tie conflict; bat th* other sections of the eity, where pleasure and wealth reign supreme, will not long defer the doffing of their present weeds of woe and donning the apparel of gayaty which makes Paris at once the most fascinating and flip- PWrt of all the cities in the irorld- SPECIAL NOTICES.
