A serenade to Bullock, or any of his ac

to the people of' Georgia and a shameless
affront to decency, honor and honesty.
It is a symptom of the ooirnption and
degeneracy of the times. At best, this
man never did anything remarkable, ex
cept to accumulate and squander large
sums of money. Public honors to such
men indicate an inordinate love of money

Florida Affairs.
The Tallahassee Sentinel says that there
occurred on Monday at Jackson’s Bluff,
on Ocklockonee river, about eighteen
miles west of Tallahassee, one of those
tragic and bloody affrays which shock
linmanity and make the blood run cold.
A difficulty had existed between Zed.
Russell, son of Mr. Jesse Bussell, and
Simon Ulmer, an old man with a large
family. The parties met yesterday to
settle it in an amicable way, but angry
words excited their evil passions and old
man Ulmer started to a tree near by for
his gun, when Zed. Bussell fired and
Ulmer fell. His son’John ran to the as
sistance of his father, and while leaning
forward to raise him up, Bussell fired and
wounded him in the head. Seizing hiB
father's gun he turned and Bussell ran
into an old log house. John Ulmer fol
lowed, knocked open the chinks between
the logs and fired fifteen buckshot into
Russell as he attempted to escape out of
the door. Simon Ulmer died last night
about twelve o’clock, and Bussell was
nlive at last accounts, but with no chance
of living beyond a few hours. Bussell
also wounded a man by the name of Pope,
though not seriously.
A coroner’s inquest and post-mortem
examination in Jefferson county cost the
tax-payers one hundred and forty dollars.
The Tallahassee correspondent of the
Jacksonville Republican says a sensation
occurred in the Assembly the other day,
arising from some transactions at the
penitentiary on Sunday. A committee of
the two Houses visited that institution
and two or three colored members, among
whom was Melnnis, of Duval, took the
liberty to go about and inspect the prem
ises without the presence or special per
mit of tho warden; (who is also Speaker
of the Assembly!) whereupon they were
summarily ejoeted from the grounds.
Without waiting for a report of the chair
man or a majority of the committee, they
attempted to report their grievances to
the Assembly, and the Speaker (the war
den of the penitentiary!) ruled it out of
order. After some excitement a commit
tee of five was elected by the Assembly to
consider and report upon the matter.
The bill to extend the powers of the
Atlantic and Gulf Bailroad in the State
of Florida, introduced by Mr. Ball, and
to which allusion was made some days
ago, was subsequently withdrawn by that
gentleman. A similar bill, however, was
introduced in the Senate by Mr. Hender
son and referred to the Railroad Commit
tee, which made a majority and a minori
ty report. The majority report, a brief
and curious document, signed by Dennis,
Meacham and Parlin, says that they have
not had sufficient time to carefully con
sider the bill, but they are satisfied its
provisions are prejudicial to the State,
and recommend that it be indefinitely
postponed.
The minority report, signed by Sena,
tors McOaskill and Knight, advocate the
passage of the bill fort the following
reasons: 1st. The State has expend
ed in the way of aid to other cor
porate companies for the construction
of roads amounts of money and land that
is fearfully startling when considered in
connection with the present and future
financial condition of the State, which
amounts, in some instances, so far from
being applied entirely to the extension
and completion of what is termed the
railroad system of the State, have been
only partially applied, and in one instance,
at least, wholly misapplied and squandered.
2d. The system, with all its abuses, frauds
and lack of good faith with the citizens
of every portion of the State, has de
stroyed all faith and confidence in its
power for good and the development of
the State, and is believed to be entitled to>
no further respect from those who are ex
ercised only by the promotion of the best
interests of the people of the State, without
regard to the few who have made
the system subservient to private ends.
3d, and finally, in view of the foregoing rea
sons, and others that might be urged with
equal force,is pronounced the system as now
known to the people of the State, a bur
den, a swindle, and that should be
abandoned at once, and the OOP proposed
by this bill adopted, viz: of permitting
the Atlantic ami Gulf -Road, and all
others that may be willing, to come into
the State and construct railroads, when
they propose, as this does, to do so with
out asking any State aid whatever.
The Attempted Assassination or Iwa-
kcea.—The following are the particulars
of the attempt to kill Iwakura, in Yeddo,
Jaoan, on the night of the 14th January:
As* Iwakura was returning from Hie
Mikado’s temporary residence to his own
dwelling, his carriage was stopped near
tlie outer castle moat by a bamboo pole
stretched across the road. The sides of
the vehicle were cut through by swords,
and Iwakura, hastily descending, found
himself attacked by several armed men,
from whom he received wounds in the
loins and shoulders. He ran to the moat,
close at hand, and sprang into it, remain
ing hidden for about an hour, after which
he° returned to the Mikado’s house, to
which foreign surgeons were summoned,
who at once discov»«ed that his injuries
were in no degree dangetou^. He will
probably be able to resume his duties in
a few weeks. This is the first attempt at
the assassinatics of a high official since
the murder of Hirusawa Sffng6, early in
18/2. No clue to the would-bernmraejrers
has yet been discovered.

Trichina Spiralis. —The alarm recently
occasioned by the discovery of several
cases of trichina in Aurora, Ind., has been
quieted by experts, who have sifted the
matter to the bottom. • They discovered
that the victims had eaten the meat of a
diseased hog which had been dosed with
sulphur and sweet milk before being
slaughtered. An analysis of the meat
showed that it was literally alive with the
trichina spiralis, and the entire carcass of
the hog had been infected, not even the
bones being free from the entozoon. Im
mediately after eating the meat the par
ties complained of being very tired and
sore all over the surface of the body.
Vomiting set in and the family physician
was called, who pronounced their sick
ness typhoid fever. The Illness of the
mother and her children, excited the sym
pathy of the neighbors, and they took it
in turn to nurse them.
The wife of a Methodist minister, with
her two children, was the first nurse,
she took up her abode in the house, and,
when meal time came, prepared and ate
some of the meat. On the following day
she and her children were taken sick, and
two yonng ladies came to do the nursing.
They likewise partook of tne meat, and
were soon seized with similar pains. A
lad, who brought kindling wood to the
house, had supper, and is also down with
the same sickness. Finally, a Mrs. Boss
came and ate of the meat, and soon after
took sick in the same manner as all the
others, but Bhe at once suspected the
meat as the cause and said so to the physi
cian, who soon discovered the difficulty,
and satisfied himself by making an an
alysis of the meat. It is now thought
that four or five of the victims will die,
but strong hopes are enterfajned that the
others will recover.
Hon. Mr. Bones Reprimanded.—It
must be gratifying, says the Louisville
Ledger, to those who clamor for negro
supremacy in the Sonth, to* note the
efforts which the pets of ‘ the government
are making in Louisiana to imitate white
menin their legislative proceedings. Quite
recently one negro legislator called another
negro legislator a liar. It is report;?<Tthat
immediately all the black pelicans were
aroused, and clamored for order, and de
manded that the Hon. Mr. Bones, re pre-
noil ting the negro quarter of suga
parish, should be reprimanded b
Speaker, a perfect beauty in nose and
lips and wool, but when the. time came
for the reprimand another gorilla-featured
legislator was in the chair—who, when
the Hon. Mr. Bones had been 1 ’
forward is reported to have
him as follows:
“Mr. Bones, you has ’fended de ’spect-
able sense of dis yere house by callin’ a
brudder member a liah, and dis yere house
has ’solved dat you shall be re perm andod,
and I shall now proceed fur to 'flict de
sentence of the law on you. Mr. Bones,
it ar de opinion of dis yere house, like
wise of dis yere speaker, dat you is a
regular puke and a plum jackass.”
Drowned in a Water-Bucket. — On
Thursday night the infant child of Mr.
John Eatz, living on the comer of Web
ster and Washington streets, was drowned
in a backet of water. The mother had
been sick for some time, and the backet
was placed by her husband at the side of
the bed for her convenience daring the
night. After they had retired Mr. Eatz
says that he was suddenly awakened by
his wife, who cried out that the bady was
killed. Hastily getting ont of bed, he
found that his child had fallen from the
pillow, on which it had been lying, head
foremost into the water-bucket and
drowned. The infant was buf ten weeks
old, and was without power either to
scream or extricate itself after falling into
the water. The coroner was summoned
to the house yesterday morning to hold
the inqusst. Before doing so the body of
the child was examined by physicians,
who gave their opinion that the death was
caused by accidental drowning, and such
was the verdict rendered by the jury.—

There was a large and brilliant assem
blage of ladies and gentlemen at Masonic
Temple Saturday night, in mass meeting,
in response to the call of the Maryland
Association of the Army and Navy of the
Confederate States, in reference to the
Southern Historical Society. Considering
that the snow was over six inches deep on
the ground, and the winter night the
worst of the year, this large meeting was
very encouraging to those who had as
sembled in the name of truth to aid the
historical movement which was set afoot
last summer at the Virginia Springs. By
far the greater part of the assemblage
was composed of ladies, who were very
enthusiastic.
KEMABKB OF JUDGE INGLIS.
Judge J. B. Inglis presided, and in a
brief address stated the object of the
meeting. He said it was for the import
ant purpose of setting the world right in
regard to the events of the late straggle
between the States. It was in order to
perpetuate the many acts of heroism, the
sacrifice and the principles of the South,
in justice to : those who had gone, and for
the knowledge of those who have yet to
come. There was no danger that the
ride of the victor would suffer, but there
was grave apprehension that the story of
the vanquished would be lost. A society
had been organized, having for its object
the gathering, preserving and compiling
of aU evidence and facts relating to the
late war, in order that the true result
should be presented; the truth, in simple
justice to the martyrs of a noble cause,
and in satisfaction to those who still sur
vive and preserve the same opinions that
led to the conflict. [Applause.] In this
matter the State of Maryland, and the
city of Baltimore in particular, could not
fail to be interested. Nineteen thou
sand sons of Maryland had fought for
the cause, and there ceuld be no failure
of feeling, no indifference, in a place
whose sympathy had been so great. [Ap
plause.]
REMARKS OF 8. TEACKLE WALLIS.
S. Teackle Wallis was then introduced.
Owing, he said, to the unavoidable ab
sence of other gentlemen, he was afraid
more would devolve upon him than was
fair. He could not help thinking that
there was a touch of gallantry in the an
nouncement of his friends, who had evi
dently not forgotten service ; that “ all
were invited, the ladies especially.” The
subject of the late struggle had already
been talked of enough, and there were
few who thought that nine years had
elapsed since the South had died so glo
riously—for though the struggle was
most glorious it died. A generation had
nearly passed away, the hearty man had
become hoary with age, the youth had
grown to manhood, and still the South
remained the same as when the great
sword was surrendered.
About five years ago a body of gentlemen
at New Orleans formed themselves into a
society having for its object the securing
and preservation of particulars relating
to the late war. It was soon perceived,
lxowever, that the necessity of attending
to the life of the present prevented the
people of Louisiana from exhibiting a
proper interest in the preservation of the
past. The victors weie at work reversing
the process of Darwin's theory, for in
stead of making men of monkeys they
were making monkeys out of m
[Laughter.] At a convention held at
White Sulphur Springs, the Southern
Magazine was declared the organ of the
society, and the headquarters removed to
Richmond, Ya. It was an appropriate
and fitting place. There it was that
thousands of brave men hod fallen, and
there the spot which of all others had
borne the brunt of war. In relation to
the feeling here in Maiylacd, time has not
dimmed our sympathy, and it is the wish
of every one who felt an interest in the
struggle that the truth be told. The
truth, and the truth only must be told,
and it is a fitting thing that the women of
tho South should enroll themselves in
this society in memory of the lost ones,
whose honor is indeed the dearest tresure
of their lives. [Applause.]
This meeting, although called by the
society, is in no partizan spirit. The truth
belongs not to either ride, and a man in
speaking may express convictions. Well
would it have been if no history should
have been required. Well would it have
been if there never had been a struggle;
that the past might be obliterated. Ah,
well indeed, if all the sorrow, loss and de
vastation had been saved. Proud as I
am, and every Southern man is of the
glory gained, yet willingly would I desire
the past to be obliterated. Convulsions
of volcano and the physical earth may
pass away and leave slight trace, but the
convulsions of men’s passions are never
effaced. The earthquake opens, the
mountains tremble, and the whirlwind
tears; but the spring comes with its sun-
ikine and breezes and all is forgotten.
~lnt with the passions of men there is no
brgetfnlness; it covers the pages of his-
iry; it takes phrase in the nations lan-
ge, clings even to the names of chil-
and continues until the blood of
oppression has been wiped away. The
truth must be told, let the blow of popu
lar condemnation fall where it may.
; Boston must have been startled by a
statement in a late English magazine, in
reference to the great tea party that ‘if
Americans really believed the battle of
J lunker Hill was a victory they had better
ome over here and find ont the truth.”

“Tell me not of the history, for
(hat is a lie;” and Napoleon speaks of
histoiy as a fiction. It is impossible to
read the history ol the victor to-day and
looking an honest man in the face, say it
is truth. Knowing so well the histoiy of
this State, and the usurpation of govern
ment by federal power" in it, as I do, and
being aware of the histoiy taught in the
- ils, I cannot think of it other
as having been written by the fa
ther of lies for the special edification of
his children. There is not a reference
xiegarding the course of the Sonth in The
law books and histories that is not ex-
ressed either under the head of treason
• of rebellion. And this is written by
t en who meet you face to face, who
speak of the late “rebellion” and the “re-
" ils,” and who would be astounded if you
‘ them to give another name. This
e language of vituperation has gone

The duly of history cannot all be done
ly the victor, not saying that the victors
the late struggle are worse than others
iowsoever. I have a suspicion that if a
history were written entirely by the
loath there might be a leaning towards
heir cause, though, -indeed, my inclina-
ions would lead me to excuse this more
ban when on the other ride. But time
fast fleeting, and faets unrecorded are
( recollection. We must be
; the stubborn faets
and put in shape. Oh,
time will come when
rising above the tide of
paasicaa,- will tell the troth, and as the
rays of sunlight fall from Heaven on the
‘arkness ihe clouds of prejudice will be

Frandstille, Ind., February 10.—A ter-
ribk, acfjjteirti occurred about sjx miles
east of this plac£ S^npfxjfst, whereby
one man lost His'fife and'another may
lose his mind. The facts are, as near as
can be'g&ttenft&rtrfotfr persons had seen
the track of a deer, and armed themselves
with double-barrelled shot-guns, and on
the morning of the day mentioned started
out. Their names are Thomas Mills, B.
F. Lincoln, _L., Hurley, and a Dutchman
whose name we could not get. After
going a short distance, Hurley returned to
tlie house, anlrwas to watch the south
side and to come to them if
called. . The other three went on.
They soon came on a deer, and
Lincoln was to fire, but his gun
stopped. Then Mills said kneel down;
let me give him a shot. He knelt down.
Mills fired one barrel, but failed to bring,
the deer, and started in a circle that
brought Lincoln directly in line and just
as Mills pulled the trigger. Lincoln
raised up just high enough to get the con
tents of one barrel of six back-shot in the
head. The charge entering at the left
side and baick of the ear and tearing the
whole front of the face in a dreadful
manner. Lincoln lived only abont ten
minutes. He was a single man, aged
about 21 years. Mills is nearly crazy and
has been watched ever since the catas
trophe. He has tried to take his life onee
or twice already. - The whole thing was
accidental.

man to gather up the facts and perpetuate
them? No! It will require combination,
organization, and system; men to purge
the false from the time; men to give form
to evidence, and a place where archives
can he kept in security. All this requires
the service of men and the time of men.
It requires money. But how obtained?
The waste of a single legislative session
would suffice. One sacrifice of official
corruption would secure the amount!
The city of Baltimore is the most wealthy
and popular in the South. What our
sympathies were in the late struggle it
would be needless for me to tell; what we
have suffered each one who knows can feel
as well as I; for from the first reverbera
tion at Bull Ban to the last shot at Sailor's
Creek each can el.rm some chapter. Our
Maryland Hosts were gathered together
by no oanscription; they fought for k>ve r
not lucre; and where springs a blade of
grass on Southern fields there lies some
recollection of a fallen friend to each one
present. They have been gathered to
their God in honor. He shall -judge
whether or not their motive- was as pure
and noble as that of their victorious breth
ren. The time of enthusiasm has gone
by, though God forbid that word of mine
might sever it from any heart. [Applause/
The time for business, action, has come.
In platitude, effects can come from naught
but causes. The society of Maryland
will be organized, seek out the memories
you can find, that all may know. In this
border State there were differences, and
we hold out the hand of welcome to any
man who wants to tell the truth. It
would be unmanly to do otherwise, and
whatever may be charged to those who
feel the want of manliness can never he
brought against them. [Great applause/
Mr. Wallis, then, in highly complimentary
terms, introduced General Wade Hamp
ton.
BVWiVTS OF GENERAL HAMPTON.
General Hampton, who was most en
thusiastically received, after expressing
his gratification at being commended by
Mr. Wallis, proceeded in his address. Ho
felt that he was not among strangers, and
was honored by the exhibition of that
hospitality which had been extended by
the people of Baltimore to himself and
others heretofore. He came to plead for
a work which was to do justice to the
cause in which the noble Lee had fought
and fell, and to carry out the purpose
which Lee himself projected, but was
prevented from executing by untimely
death—that of writing a faithful history
of the war. The speaker here read a
letter dated 1865, from General R. E.
Lee, who announced his intention to
write a history, giving as his reason the
desire to do justice to those who fell on
the side of the South. General Hampton
continued: It was to continue this pro
ject that the Southern Historical Society
was organized at New Orleans in 186!).
Rev. Dr. Palmer was made President, and
vice presidents, noted for their devotion
to. the cause, appointed to each State.
The Vice President in Baltimore was one
whose name will ever stand revered by
Southern hearts, a man who all he touches
does adorn—S. Teackle Wallis. [Great
applause.] At his own desire his place
was afterward filled by General Trimble.
[Applause.] For Virgiania the Vice
President was Robert E. Lee.' [Great
and continued applause/]
The object was as important.as it was
sacred, and was prompted by pride in the'
glorious past and obligations to the fu
ture. It was to pnt out that which would
justify the struggle and show the motives
that animated the South. * It was fonnd
the location of New Orleans was a mis.
take. The people? of Louisiana had Ho
time or heart to give. Misrule, corrup
tion and fraud had been brought, upon
their unhappy State by the victorious op
pressor. The Southern Magazine was
availed of as a means of publishing the
matter already collected by one who /t;
fitted by his faith and reverence in and
earnest efforts for the, cause, was worthy
of the task. [Wade Hampton.] At a
convention in Virginia the society was re
organized, Gen. Early as President. [Ap
plause.] In referring to the way in which
aid oould be extended, he explained that
members of the society became sub
scribers to the magazine and would re
ceive the printed histoiy in parts. By
the co-operation, he said, of all who have
not lost faith or hope in the cause the end
will be secured. Is this not worth strug
gling for ? Are we willing that the hand;
that usurped our institutions should stig
matize us? Are we of the South ashamed f|l]lI 4-|| A Cnil f
of our histoiy? No, thank God, we are_ Flilvlc UA I)1AC lOull •
not! [Immense applause.]
We have given most of the names that
illume the history of this country, and in
looking through the annals of the past
are proud of the achievements and efforts
exhibited in our downfall. When shall it
all be blotted out? When the women
cease to strew flowers on the graves of
their dead, and when Sydney Johnson.
Jackson and Lee are forgotten, [Great
applause.] Shall they who are sleeping be‘
called rebels and traitors;? It is dne to the
canse, to ourselves, to our forefathers, our
children; the living and the dead, that we
place ourselves right. True, I believe, if
we wrote only our side, we might make
mistakes, but not so many by any means
as the other side. [Laughter.] But what
we want, and will have, is the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
so help us God! [Applause.] This society
can be increased m usefulness after it has
extended to every town in the South and
carried enthusiasm to every quarter; the
archives of the war being gathered,
geographical, topographical and other
studies can be made. Then those who
say “I want to hear no more of war, I
am a live man, and don’t deal in dead is
sues,” may.be able to tell in what way the
Sonth can be improved, and we will hear
him. \
To prove that the society was not par
tisan] the speaker told of a man in Bos
ton who, seeing an advertisement in a Bal
timore paper, sent on his name as a mem
ber of (be society, and was received. Mr.
Hampton answered the objection pf the
societv being for officers and not tor pri,
vates by quoting the acknowledged uni
versal regard for Lee and others, while
the heroism of those in unrecognized
l [raves remained in silence. He said:
“We want the name of every: Confeder
ate soldier, his regiment, where killed or
wounded, and all about him, that genera
tions of grand-children, perhaps, may
say ‘He fell where Jackson did.’ ” [Great
applause.] The speaker concluded With
an anecdote illustrating the bravery of
Maryland Confederate soldiers in the late
war.
CONCLUSION.
Letters were read expressive of sym
pathy from W. W. Corcoran, of Washing
ton. Gen. J. 8. Preston, BeW J. W. Gfel-
lagher, and Hon. B. E. Withers, of Vir
ginia, Bev. T. U. Dudley, being intro
duced, made a short, and eloquent
address. He was not willing that children
in the schools should grow tip in the be
lief that Lee wasa traitor to his country
and did not wish his little daughter to'be
taught that Jubal Early, who? had lifted
her in his arms to the saddle and kissed
her tenderly, was a rebel, robber, and a
traitor.
