Singular Incident. —T h e L*fay£ts
(Iud.) Journal of December 21, say* Ons
of the most singular incidents connec.ed
with the locomotive explosion the other
morning was related to ub yesterday. The
engine at the time of explosion stood at
the corner of Union and Fifth streets. Ob
tbe southwest corner of Union and Fourth
f-ta-jds the saw mill of Levering «fc Aber
nathy. a distance of sixty feet south and
three hundred or more west of the spot
where the engine stood. A large piece of
iron, weighing about a hundred pounds,
in tbe shape of tbe segment of a circle,
was projected from the wreck, and slrnek
the south wall of the saw mill about three
leet irom the ground, going through that
and e partition within, lodging against
the inside north wall, and playing sad
havoc with the content* of the office
through which it passed.. The course
taken by the mass of iron was almost
peculiar; first upward inacurve, going in
a southwesterly direction until it bad
passed over the saw mill, then suddenly
changing when near the ground directly
north, and going in a direct line throngh
the walls. The erratic movements of the
mass of iron can only be accounted for
by its peculiar shape, being not unlike
the boomerang of the Hottentots.

A Foolish Suicide.—One of the most
foolish suicides that has been committed
in this country for yearB occurred a few
days ago in Cleveland Obio. A married
lady living there, whose husband was in
good circumstances, and wU *
tor her in a compatible with bis
took a fancy to a new and expen-
aive carpet which she dssired him to
-purchase for her, and which he declined
to do. Maddened bj his refusal, she, U
a moment of desperation, took a dose of
Paris green. She shortly afterward told
her husband what she had done, and
every effort possible was made to restore
.her, bat the poison had commenced it*
work, and all remedies failed. Before
she died she said 'she bitterly repented
the aot, and Drayed for tbe lile to be
spared that her vanity and temper had
caused her to forfait.
Half a dozen “sand-spouts"—columns

and moving in the same direction, each,
apparently, a solid oolumn ten feet in
diameter and one thousand feet high.
The top of all these columns seemed to
be cot off by a brisk breeze from the we.t,
which carried the dost in clonds over the
range of mountains lyiDg to the east of

of these “sand-spouts” or whirlwinds—

when they explode *with a load report,

Washingto®, Dec. 9, 1872.
To the Editor of the Herald:
My attention has been called to an arti-
cle in your, issue of tpe 4th ins’ant, re
viewing certain recommendations in the
President’s Message relative to interior
lines of water communication, in which
yoH cast an implied reflection upon aa en
terprise in which the State of Georgia is
deeply interested.
As this question of a direct water line
U J rom the Mississippi to the Atlantic Ocean.
T^Bhrough tho State of Georgia, ha.v not*
been generally discussed by the press, I
hope you will indulge me in a few remarks
upon a subject wnich is of very great im
portance to a large portion of the
coantry and of interest, no doubt, to many
of your readers. That some safe, certain
and cheap mode of transportation between
the different sections ot the coantry has
become an absolnte and pressing necessi
ty Is a faob very evident when we remem
ber that the three geographical divisions
of the Union differ widely in pursuits,
products and climate. The West is an
’"'‘oral region, whoso staples are
bulky and unable to bear the charges ex
acted upon long lines of railroad. Yet
these products are not only needed by
the other sections, bat are absolutely ne
cessary to their prosperity and well being.
The Easton and Northern States devote
their energies principally to mining,
manufacture and commerce, while to the
South belongs the production of cptton,
sugar and rice—articles of such common
use that they are classed among tdfc ne
cessaries of life.
That the free interchange of products
so widely different in character, and yet
so essential to our wants, would result in
a more rapid development of our internal
commerce and in mutaal benefit to all is
a proposition sell-evident, and one that
needs no demonstration. Everybody
knows that the great need of the West is
a market for the surplus food which she
produces in such quantities that it cannot
be profitably disposed of, but remain*
worthless and wasting upon the hand of
the producer, depriving labor of half its
reward, discouraging industry and para
lyzing enterprise. Nor is tbe result of
this need upon the manufacturing inter
ests of the Northern and New England
States less deplorable. Cheap food makes
cheap labor, and cheap labor is the life of
manufacture in this age of commercial
competition. Without it these interests
can never reach that state of development
which will make ns not only independent
at home, but enable os to become success
ful competitors iu foreign markets. The
same is true of the South. Dependent
upon the West for her supply of food, the
great staples wnich enter so largely into
our domestic and.foreign commerce are
annually decreasing because the cost of
living is so great that their production
has in a measure ceased to be a profitable
pursuit. Instead of rataing cotton, sugar
and rice, for which the soil and climate
are eminently adapted, and iu which she
would find her moat profitable employ
ment, large areas are devoted to the
production of food, the result of which
barely feeds tho producer, adds nothing
to our commercial advancement, depriv- s
the West to that exit nt of a market and
forces us to look ubroad for articles of
prime necessity which mi^ht be produced
cheaper and in greater abundance at home.
But the price of lood regulates the price
of labor, and where the cost of the one
equals the prodact of the other oar min
ing and manufacturing interests mast suf
fer. Hence we find that so soon as
legislative protection is withdrawn the
factories and furnaces of the coantry to
some extent cease operation, and at the
same time the importation ot the articles
they produce is greatly increased. This
is doe solely to the cost of production,
and this cost of production prevents not
only the control of our home market, but
preoiudes the hope of successful compe
tition abroad. The manufacturing opera
tive, the miner and tbe artisan are driven
to agriculture for support. Tne ftoulh
devotes her capital, lands and labor to
the production of food, and the West,
with a surging on hand sufficient to feed
noLou!y this country, hut the greater
portion ef Western Europe, goes abroad
for iron, sugar and manufactured articles,
while the prodact of her labor remains
worthless and wasting upon the hands of
the producer, because the cost of car
riage, South or East, exhausts the value
of the article before it. - ***t»*h.ei.
These are a**"-- i^wstions, and they de-
^xttua not only an examination into the
cause of the evil, but the proper remedy
to be applied.
I have discussed this question at some
length, because a very unjust prejudice
exists in a large portion ot the country
(and especially in the agricultural, dis
tricts) against the cotton manufacturer of
New England and the iron manufacturer
of Pennsylvania from this cause. They
are oharged with avarice and a sordid de
sire for unjust gain at the expense of the
South and West, when the. tact is, a real
necessity forces them to demand legisla
tive protection. Bat the South Shea that
her interests are failing whiie she is heavily
taxed upon the manufactured product*! of
her own labor, and the West that she is
shot ont from a market, and has to pay
what she deems unreasonable prices for
the products of other sections of the
country. It is also true that so long as
protection is necessary to the control of
oar home market we can never hope to
compete successfully in foreign m^rte.
The able statesmanlike recommendations
contained in tbe President’s message meet
ali these points, and, if carried ont, will
relieve tbe country of a cause of discon
tent that is deep and almost universal.
He clearly understands the nature of the
evil, and goe9 squarely to the remedy with
that promptness and decision which have
ever been one of his chief characteristics.
That remedy, he tells ns, is cheap trans
portation, and that this can only be sup
plied by lines of water communication.
The present outlets from the West to
the sea are the Mississippi River, the
lakes and the Erie Canal. The needs of
commerce have outgrown the Erie Cabal,
and this fact finds utterance in the con
stant demands of the West for other and*
more commodious lines of water trans
portation. Its inadequacy is due in a
great measure to the iact that it is frozen
upon an average of five month* in the year,
and that, too, at the time when the farmer
in the West’most needs it. The route by
way of tne Mississippi River is long and
expensive, and farm produce is liable to
serious damage from the humidity of the
semi-tropieal climate through which it
passes. But there is another seriona ob
jection to these routes which deserves
consideration. They both lie beyond the
limits of the United States, and in case of
a foreign war would certainly be ob
structed, if not closed, leaving to cur foes
the power of interrupting not only our
foreign commerce, but of obstructing and
destroying oar internal trade.
These facts point to the absolute neces
sity of interior lines of water communica
tion between the great producing sections,
if we would render ourselves independent
in times of peace and give security to our
internal commerce in limes of war. Two
routes present themselves—both feasible
and both possessing marked advantages
over those already named. One cf these
aontes is through Virginia to Norfolk; tbe
other through Georgia to Savannah or
Brunswick. The merits of the Virginia
line have been so ably and fully discussed
that it needs no comment here. To tbe
Georgia line oar attention is just now
more particularly directed. This route
follows the natural channel of the Tennes
see to GnDtersville, Alabama, where a
narrow neck of land separates tbe Ten
nessee river from the Coosa. Across ibis
isthmus a canal thirty miles long is all
that is needed to connect these rivers and
open navigation, on the one hand
This is tbe time for making gond re»o-
lutions in order to break them.
cheaper and more direct thauany existing
or proposed route ; that produce shipped
over it will not oe liable lo damage from
ht*a:, humidity or other climatic causes,
and that its cost will be insignificant when
compared with the grand results to be
obtained. It will open not only a new,
more extensive and annually increasing
market for tbe surplus products of the
West in the cotton States, but will furnish
a cheaper roate for t‘io food supply of the
Atlantic aud New England States, espe
cially daring the winter months, enabling
our mtnufaclurers.to-command the home
market without the aid of protective tar
iffs, and to compete, in rime, successfully
iu foreign marts. It will build up the
South, enabling that section to prodace
cheap cotton, cheap sugar, and cheap rice
in quantities sufficient to meet the in
creasing demand. It will give to the
West an outlet such as she has long ana
ardently desired, and will enable us once
more to control the grain market of
Western Europe. It will be tree and un
interrupted in peaca and safe in war. For
these reasons it is unqatstionably nation
al in its character.
There is another view of this question
which must commend it to the hearty ap
proval of every one who desires that, we
should once more become a united, happy
and prosperous people. There is no tie
between individuals or States that binds
them so firxly together as that of mutaal
interest. Unite Norfolk and the James
River with Cincinnati and the Ohio and
you will make the interests of all that sec
tion identical. Unite Savannah and th«
rivers of Georgia aed Alabama with St.
Loaift, the MUsiesippi and the West and
yon will not only create a mutual interest,
but will knit those sections together in a
bond so strong that foreign foes can never
shake it, and one that internal strife will
never disturb, because the bond is that of
peace and good will.
Very respectfully,
B. W. Fbobbl,
Member of the Board of Commissioners
for the Improvement of the Navigation
of the Ohio River and its Tributaries

Obituary—The Late Gorilla of Bab-
num’s.—The deceased gorilla was a young
mau of exemplary habits, and by his ver
satile industry supported an aged father
and mother m Jersey City, who can hard
ly bear their present loss. His original
name was Briggs, and he was of Yankee,
not CeRio origin, as has been erroneously
stated Mr. Barnuru became acquainted
with young Brigcs many years ago, and,
keen observer ol Unman nature that he is.
he soon saw that the boy possessed tal
ents which would, if rightly applied, bring
him into public notice. Mr. Barnnm first
employed Briggs as a mermaid, but his
nervous sauguuieness temperament unfit
ted him for wearing a wig and codfish skin,
and be w*s ehortly after promoted to the
position of wild man. In this he achieved
no success, and it was not until Barnnm
put his traveling show on the road in 1870,
and g*ve Brings the positioa of gonlU,
that he developed those eccentricities that
have made him famous. For two years
no better specimen of the gpriila tribe has
been seen ou this continent. Though
naturally convivai and social in his tasUs.
he has s^t in his cage an object of wonder
and admiration to thousands, and submit
ted to beiug stirred np with a long pole
for the benefit of coautry clergymen, who
stood by explaining to their youthfnl Sab
bath school scholars how fearfully and
wonderlully we are made. No murmar of
discontent ever escaped hie lips, except
at Terrg Haute, Ind., last July, when he
was beard to remark that he’d be d—d if
he could stand it much longer wearing a
hair overcoat in hot weather, on a salary
of $10 a week.” His salary was at ouce
elevated to $12 50 a wook, p.nd he was al
lowed ice in bis den thereafter, and no
better behaved specimen of hts tribe was
ever placed on exhibition. Mr. Barnum,
we are informed, with characteristic
energy, has telegraphed to Africa for
other specimens of rare wild beasts, to
supply the places of tbo*e dostroyed by
the late conflagration.

A Great Discovery—A New Fuel.—A
committee of citizens of San Francisco
recently made an investigation of the pro
perties of a new article of fool, discovered
and patented by a California inventor.
The experiments wei« made in a brass
foundry of the above city. The Alta
California says :
••They were shown into that portion of
tbe establiMhment occupied by the far-
□accs, aucf in one corner found a brick
furnace *oiue eight feet long and six feet
high. On the top of this was an. iron
tank holding abont ton gallons, which
was filled with crude petroleum. From
this tank a pipe aboat an inch and a half
in diameter led into the side of the fur
nace. A small jet of oi<, not larger than
a small goose quill, was permitted to flow
oat of this tube; a light is placed beneath
this jet and immediately ignites. Another
pipe abont an inch in diameter leads from
a steam boiler stationed some fifteen feet
away. This pipe leads a small jet of steam
npon the burning oil, and the moment
the steam Rtrikes the oil the oxygen in
the water is set free and ignites with a
tremendous roar, generating in a few mo
ments a most intense white heat From
this small source the entire chamber of
the furnace, which is some two feet by
five feet, is filled with a flame so brilliant
and dazzling that one cannot gaze on it
for more than a moment at a time. This
flame possesses all the heat of an oxy-
hydrogen flame, and beneath its fierce

The Iron Trade of Great Britain. -
Official statistics furnished to the Eng
lish Mining Record Office show that io
the year 1871 the total iron-ore produc
tion-of the United Kingdom, of which re-
tnrna were received, amounted to 16,334,-
884 tons, of the value of £7,670,572. To
this quantity may be added 200,000 tons
of burnt ore from cupreous pyrjtes, and
324,175 tdn« of iron ore imported, briuc-
ing the total quantity smelted up to 16,-
859,064 tons. There were 637 furnaces iu
blast, viz : 429 in England, 117 in Wales,
127 in Scotland. There were 6,627,169
tons of pig iron produced in Great Britain
in 1871—4,379,370 tons in England. 1,-
087,899 tons in Wales, l,lffi)f000 tons in
Scotland. This total, estimated at tbe
mean average price at the place of pro
duction, would have a''value of £16,667,-
947. The li»t of mills and forges at work
in 1871 includes 267 works, and shows
6,841 puddling furnaces and 866 rolling
mills. Tuere were 19 works in Great Britain
having Bessemer converters in 1871 ; the
number of converters at these works va
ried from 2 to 18, and the capacity of the
converters from 3 to 10 tons. Ic is JD8ti 7
mated that there were 2,393,293 kojus of

A Victim of Emotional Insanity.—I
noticed on the street the other day Miss
Mary Harris, who made herself notorious
a few years ago by shooting Burroughs, a
Department clerk, in a fit of emotional
insanity, caused by his cowardly and ub-
geutlemanly treatment of the pretty black-
eyed Mary. It will be remembered that
the gentle Mary was acquitted by the jury,
and thereat endued a scene. Lawyer Brad
ley embraced and kissed his fair client (the
scamp, it wan a good fee, even as a retain
er !) and the presiding Judge on the bench
(Wilie) wept tears of joy, bat he didn’t
receive a kiss, and his tears went for nix,
and the crowd in the coart-room cheered
the jury. Mary afterward went into a
millinery store on Broad street, Rich
mond, for probably a year or more, but
her deportment there was such as to in
duce her friends to pot her under the care
of Dr. Nichols here. She is now oot again,
entirely restored in all her mental facul
ties. She is considerably ch *nged, and
does not look so beautiful as when I last
gazed into her sad, subdued faoa. She is
now a clerk in the Patent Office.— Wash

The Extension of the Atlantic
Gulf Railroad.
' This will, doubtless, be one of the most
iAp<frtaut questions before the next Leg
islature of the State of Georgia. Viewed
impartially, free from sectioual aud polit
ical bias, there has not been, nor will
there be, an enterprise in which the whole
people of the State have had, or wil-. have,
a more direct interest. The State, at
present, is a stockholder in this road to
the arnoant of about one million of dol
lars. That stock is annually depreciating,
and will become worthless and a total
loss to the State. Now, the enterprise
proposed will not only indemnity the
State against loss for all the assistance
needed in the proposed extension, bat
will save to her the million of dollars al
ready invested; aud the individual stock-
uolders will be likewise '.enefitted—which
is also a public benefit
But the question is, bow can the tx-
tenaiou of this road, to Pollard, in the
State of Alabama, produce such results ?
The counties through which the road ie
proposed to be extended are isolated; the
benefits of public enterprise have never
been realized by that Section of countiy;
aud it has no natural facilities for trans
portation; hence the vast argicuhural re
sources, aud the n tturul advantages and
facilities it possesses for mauulauturiug,
is woolly undeveloped. At present the
plauiers have to haul their produce either
to Greenville, in Alabama, or to some
point on the Chattahoochee river; aud
from Greenville to auy business point on
said river, is a distance of more than one
hundred miles. Then there is an exten
sion of the road of one hundred miles
through on« of the most productive
sections of the State of Alabama,
with no competing line, between it aud
the Gulf, on th« South, a distance
of one huudred miles ; and no road on
the North nearer than' Troy, in Pike
county, a distance of thirty-five miles ;
and by an extension of the road from Troy
to Elba, in Coffee county, a distance of
thirty-five miles, it will make the distance
from Montgomery to Savannah from
seventy to one hundred miles less by this
route than any other now in existence—a
very important consideration both as to
passengers and freight. Take into con
sideration this imm* use art a of country,
all or nearly all ot which is accessible to
this line of roads with its vast produc
tions, together with its wide spreading
forests of the fiuest timber the world ever
saw, all of which would find an outlet
over this road to our own seaport city of
Savaunab, and be of incalculable advan
tage to the road—saving to the S.ate (that
will be lost without tbe extension) its
millions of stock, as well as the thfee or
four millions of stock owned by private
individuals.
Not only tbe stockholders in this road,
• but every citizen ou or near it, who now
depends, and has heretofore depended,
upon it for the transportation of their
produce or supplies, are deeply interested.
Suppose this road was to go into disuse,
the condition of Southern Georgia would
be deplorable, for it is their only great
highway for transportation and travel. In
order to perpetuate and keep in existence
this pari of the road, iis mam trunk must
be extended, and arms stretched out in
diff-rent directions, to gather the fruits
from fertile fields of other countries.
This road is now, and has been, as ably
and economically managed and controlled
as any road iu the State, but it is impos
sible to make it a paying iustitotion, un
less its trunk be extended and connected
with other lines and branches to sustain
it. The life of the whole section of coun
try through which this ro-d passes de
pends upou its prosperity aud perpetuity,
And by its extension into this new aud
undeveloped coantry the citizens will be
stimafdted, and that inviting climate and
productive soil, will invite settlers from
other couulries, and the whole section
will soon be densely populated. Oid fields
wiil be fertilized and new ones opened,and
rich and abundant harvests will be gather
ed and find their way to the outer world
over this line of road.
It is asserted by-some of the opponents
of the enterprise, however, that the road
when built will invite t^e shipment of
cotton to the South and West. That is
an assertion without an argument to sus
tain it; for tbe tendency of Southern pro
ducts is now, always has beeu, and al
ways will be Eastward.
The object of this article is not to argue
fully the practicability of this important
enterprise; bat to call tbe attention of the
*--~*Oa »n its vital impnrbtncp. Aud we
would respectfully suggest
of holding county mrelmga all'along the
line, from Savannah to Baiubridge, for
the purpose of memorializing the Legis
lature upou tbn Mihjar-f. and urge in every
practicable way, the favorable considera
tion, of that honorable body and appeal
foi State aid to this important enterprise.
In the Sunday issue of the New York
Star, Mr. Howard, its editor, preaches an
excellent Christmas sermon to his neigh
bors of more extravagant Christian pro
fessions, and takes to illustrate the prac
ticality of his discourse the death from
cold and starvation of a young married
woman named Fanny Patten, a case
shocking enougt^certainly, but by no
means aui generis. The other night the
Brooklyn police were notified of the sod
den death of this poor creature, and going
to her squalid abode found her body re
duced almost to a skeleton. Not so much
as a crust was to be found iu the cupboard
nor a coal in the grate. When tbe neigh
bors had first found out the state of things
there, they found the husband, George
Patten, holding the corpse his arms
and crying over it, while his child, almost
as emaciated as its dead mother, was cry
ing also. Patten is a laboring mau who
has lately taken to drinking, leaving his
wife to care of herself and child. The
poor womau worked, until from lack
of proper nourishment she became too
weak to continue and sank nnder her
burdens. A night or two after her death,
he became sober enongh to realize the
fact, as well as that he was in great meas
ure the cause of it. By the timely dis
covery of tbe child's condition, she was
saved from sharing the dead woman's
fate.
Perpetual Motion.—The Commission
er of Patents, General M. D. Leggett, is
constantly iu receipt of letters from per
sons who claim to have discovered per
petual motioa, and asking for tbe sup
posed reward of one million dollars
off«red by the United States Government.
To-day he received a letter from Mac D.
Mailigan, who resides in Georgetown.
Colorado, statiag that he has discovered
perpetnal motion and inquiring what was
the bonus offered for the same by tbe
Government. The writer says that he
has demonstrated to many the fact that
his machine is the long-looked for one,
and that he will sati9iy the mind of the
Commissioner or any official whom tbe
Govefnment may designate for the pur
pose, that be has got the machine and is
the discoverer of perpetual motion. He
desires an answer as soon as possible.
Tbe Commissioner has answered as .he
usually does m such cases, by stating that
theie has been no reward offered by the
Government for the invention, nor is
there likely to be. •
The Missouri Legislature and Sena
torial Content—St. Louis, Dec. 31.—
Dispatches from Jefferson City say that
members of the Legislature, which will
meet to-morrow, are las; arriving, and the
question as to who shall succeed Frank
Blair as United States Senator is freely
discussed. A caucus of all tbe Democrats
who desire to maintain th«r Democratic’
party organization, and who believe that
Democrats alone whould organize the
Legislature, shape its political policy and
control the election of United States Sena
tor, has been called for Wednesday.
Nearly all the Democrats who have ar
rived have signed the call, bnt there are
some who decline to do so. Neither Gov.
Brown’s retiring message nor Governor
Woodsou’s inaugural message are yet
complete. Tbe former will probably not
be read before Friday, and the inaugura
tion of Governor Woodson will not take
place before to-monow week.

tract distributors, and they throw down

Light,” without regard to the feelings of
anybody.
The Death-Roll of 1872.
The year now flt-e.ng, to its close has
beeu rtm»trkaole over most ot its imme- j
diaie predecessor^ for the number ot per- j
sous who have died m it wbo were of
unusual prominence before tbe world. A
review of the death-roil of 1872 woald be
interesting at this time. It would certain
ly recall many mournful thoughts in
spired during the year by the sadden
taking off of this or that eonspionons
public character, aud which in the harry
and whirl of our busy lives were neces
sarily transitory. The great names which
•naturally occur to us the moment we
begin to think of death’s doings for the
past twelve months are those of Greeley,
Seward, and Morse. These were our own
countrymen, and it is worthy of notice
that the old world have no losses of equal
value and distinction. It is a canons
coincidence that the founders of three
!ea iiug“metropolitan journals should die
within two inonttp of each other—Gree
ley, of the Tribune, Bennett, of the Herald,
and Spalding of the World. A celebrated
French journalist, Adolph Gueroult, edi
tor of the Paris Nationals, and a well-
known American editor, Edward A. Pol
lard, formerly of the Richmond (Va.)
Examiner, also passed away. AmoDg the
distiuguisb’ed soldiers who died were

tne regular army both of them very con
spicuous commanders iu the late war.
Lieaienant Generals Ewell aud Patten
Anderson, of the Confederate army ;
Marshal Foray, of the French army, tbe

renown.
Among American statesmen were Se
ward, ex-Postmaster-General Randall, ex-
Minister to Russia Ingersoll; Humphrey
Marshall, the rotund and jovial Kentncky
Congressman; ex-S«nators Wall, of New
Jersey; Grimes, of Iowa; Walker, of Wis
consin ;<iir*gg, of North Carolina; Van
Winkle, of West Virginia, and Senator
Garrett^) a vis, of Kentucky, over whom
eulogies were pronounced last week in
the Senate. On the roll ot foreign states
man' were Jaarsz, tbe Pievd^nt ot Mexico;
Earl Mayo, Governor-General of India,
who was assassinated by a native religious
fauatio in th«$i country; Joseph Mazzini,
the famous Italian agitator, who was plan
ning another revolution when death
quieted his restlens brain; the Duke ol
Persiguy, the Third Napoleou’s favorite
and right-hand man; Sir Henry Bul-
wer, formerly British Minister at
Washington, and recently created
Baron Dalling, and Bnlwer, brother
of the npveleat ; Lord Lonsdale, late
Postmaster General, and the Duke of Bed
ford. Royalty suffered in the loss of King
Charles XV, of Sweden, a wine aud indus
trious monarch; the Archdake Albrecht
of Austria, known in history as “the Vic
tor of Custozza,” the Duke of Gatae, one
of the younger.members of the Orleans
* family, and Don Angel Iturbide, the son
of tbe first Emperor of Mexico. Among
the noted writers of books were Charles
L»ver, author of “Cbaries O’Malley” and
a score of other Irish novels which have
given delight to millions of readers in
both hemispheres; D’Aubigne, the famous
author of the “History of the Reforma
tion;” Tbeophile Gautier, the popular
Parisian feailltonist; Prof. Hadley, ot
Yale, the Greek and Oriental scholar; Sir
Johu Bowring, wbo wrote ou reform;
“Fanny F^ru” Parton; Norman McLeod,

Catholic prelates, Cardinal A mat, .Arch
bishop Spaulding, of Baltimore, and
Bishop McGill, of Richmond ; the Epis
copal, Dr. Francis Vinton, rector of Trin

Sad Affair at Timmonsville.—Yester
day afternoon Timmonsville was tbe scene
of one of those terrible tragedies which,
until very recently, scarcely ever stained
the pages of uur public journals. One
William Oliver, together* with Hiram
Oliver, Malcom Timmons and others,
were drinking in a bar-room and oreating
a d sturbance. when Marshal Powers, as
sisted by two colored marshals, attempted
to arr*-st them. Meeting with resistance,
Marshal P. fired two'shots at William
Oliver, both takiug effect in the lett
breast—one immediately above the other.
He (Power*) then fired upon Hiram
Oliver, the balls takins effect in one knee
and below the kn»-w joint of the other.
•Abont this timeWiliiam Oliver tamed npon
Marshal Powers and fired at him with a
large navy pistol, the bail takiug effect in
the upper part ot Marshal Power’s thigh,
break ng it into shivers. Powers fqli to
the ground, when William Oliver fire!
again, breaking his hand. Malcom Tim
mons was seveiwfy shot in the mouth. It
is thought that Powers cannot five. Wil
liam Oliver has been arrested, aud wiil
probably be retained to await the develop
