Jlajor Calhoun minr, has been doing valuable campaign ■ork for the Alabama Democrats. The editor of the Montezuma Weekly, when be is bored by visitors, locks them [in and goes oiI after a 6 lass of butter " lilk. Miss Howard, of Bartow, one of Geor gs noblest daughters, has on exhibition it the State Fair a bale of lucerne, the ilauting, cultivation and gathering of rbich were under her personal super- vision. A ne^ro incendiary in the Macon county jail is reported to be insane. An Atlanta man left a shot-gun at the lguard-hou.se the other night as a sort of urity for the appearance of his mother, rho had been arrested. Desiring to go mnting the next morning he carried the )ld lady down, turned her over to the [authorities, and proudly marched off with [his gun. A colored horse-thief reposes in Thomas- Ivillo jail. Specimen Atlanta paragraph: “Among jtlie visitors to the Fair is Mrs. J., the (beautiful Augusta belle, that was so popu- ilar last spring in our Atlanta society.” A little son of Mr. John Stack, of Thomasville, was seriously injured the .other day by the explosion of a bottle of powder. Cnpt. G. W. Howard* of Bartow, has potatoes raised on land that cost him twenty-five cents an acre. The net prof its of the crop amounted to ninety-seven 1 dollars an acre. Little Johnny Hopkins, of Thomas ville.. who accidentally shot himself some time ago, is dead. The firm of Miss Kittie Walters & Brother, of Montezuma, is composed of Miss Kittie herself and a brother who lost his eyesight in the Confederate war. The negroes of Thomas county con tributed eighty dollars to Fred Atkinson, colored, for the purpose of enabling him io contest the recent election. Fred pocketed the money and left for parts unknown. Griffin is feeling her way to a narrow gauge road to Indian Spring. This idea is a good one. The Griffin New*, of Wednesday, says on Tuesday morning, as the down train from Atlanta was passing Mr. Joseph H. Johnson’s farm, about 2 o’clock, the en gineer discovered a fire in that locality. He blowed liis whistle fearfully, and *aked up Mr. Johnson’s overseer, who discovered the gin house and b^m on fire. The overseer hastened to the place and found the whole buildmg enveloped in flames. It was a large rough building near the centre of Mr. Johnson’s farm, and located about two miles from the court house, on the left of the 1L & W. E. E. as you go South. The overseer arrived too late to do any good. The Sre was in full progress, and very soon five thousand dollars worth of Mr. John son’s property was completely destroyed, consisting of over twenty bales of cotton, mostly in the seed, and-three bales pack ed, together with a first-rate gin and new In the difficulty Mr. William Smith, Sr.. Postmaster at Mulbery Grove, a well known and respected citizen, was mor tally shot by his son William Smith, Jr. The weapbn used was a pistol. The ball entered above the left eye, came out be hind the ear, fracturing the skull, and causing a wound from which death may ensue at any moment It is said that domestic troubles gave rise to the diffi culty; that the father had married a second wife; that she and Smith’s daugh ters by his first wife did not get alon<> well; that Smith had attempted to drive these daughters from home, and that, while, engaged in this attempt, the son had interfered with the above fatal re sults. The wounded man was not dead yesterday morning, but was thought to be in a dying condition. Dr. Bruce and other medical men giving it as their opinion that he could not possibly live. Our informant states that the son. who has thus stained his hands in the blood of his father, had hitherto borne a good reputation, and that the sympathies of the community are with him. He had not been arrested, but is still in the neighborhood, ready to give himself up to the officers of the law. The unfortu nate affair has created great excitement in that usually quiet and law-abiding neighborhood. Our knowledge of the circumstances connected with this awful affair is too limited to justify an expres sion as to the young man’s guilt. That must be left with the courts. We will say, however, that wo can conceive of but few circumstances or conditions that would justify a son in taking the life of his own father. THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE.

In the kttn portion of the gin-house were seven fioe mules aud horses, one hundred loads °f rough forage, a considerable amount °f corn and oats, and other valuable pro- perty connected with such au establish- men t. The destruction of the live stock vas most deplorable, and the wails of tie dying animals distressing. A yoke of oxen were fastened to some saplings c ' ar the building, and were rending the c ' r with their frightful bellowings, when fke overseer arrived.

Panama, October 10. A Guatemala paper says of the earth quake of September 3: The losses suffered in the departments are calculated to be from §200,000 to $250,000, including farming houses, ma chinery, and some thousands of yards of storehouses in which cochineal was buried under the ruins of roof and wall. The number of victims cannot be exactly de cided, because many dead bodies re mained buried under tho stream of mud which descended from the Cerro del Tigre. In Atigua alone thirty persons perished, the greater part being women and children. It is calculated that twen ty-five bodies were buried in the other towns, and a hundred more or less bruised and wounded. The town of Dnenos is entirely ruined, with its church, cabildo, parochial edifice and private houses. A short distance from Duenos, and near a coffee farm of Zinza, in a place called La Estancia, there was an extraordinary promontory of mud, which had descended from tho heights of the Cerro del Tigre. The promontory had in some places a depth of one hundred feet, and was formed by those eruptions of mud which geologists call saigas, aud which generally is not a good sign for the bordering countries. The eruption which produced this pro montory consisted of cold mud, which, although very compact, carried in its current enormous masses of stones and trees, whose trunks measured eight and ten inches in diameter. The government has ordered supplies of flour from Sal vador and California. A subscription is being raised in Guatemala for those families that have suffered by the last earthquake. The departments of Saca- tepequez, Chimaltenango and others have suffered considerably. The El Progreso of Guatemala of the Gth ult., gives the following additional items about the earthquake: “A telegram to the government from Antigua, dated the 4th ult., says the consequences of the earthquake last night ore very serious. There were fourteen deaths in Antigua, five in Duenos, five in Jocotenango, and one in San Pedro. The town of Duenos is entirely rained, Alotenango and Ciudad Vieja, very much damaged. The city of Amatitian has also suffered considerable, but there were no robberies or loss of lives.” A telegram to the government from Minister Samayoa, dated in Antigun, Septemher 4, says: “The President has gone through all the city; found twenty- six victims, mostly women, who lived in some old ruins. ” In Patzicia more damago was done, and one hundred deaths are reported." Another dispatch from Antigua, dated the 5th ult., said: “The President has returned from Dnenos; (he church and cabildo had suffered most, and the farm houses in the neighborhood. The native huts had remained intact. Two rivers, which descended from tho volcano, over flowed their beds and carried away some hnts, with about twenty victims.” At Chimaltenango, on tho Gth ult., the President telegraphed for medicines and surgical aid. The people of this place were in a state of consternation at the effects of the earthquake. The Villa de Zaragoza, Patizizea and Istapa will bo rained completely. Provisions were for warded with all the aid possible. The victims, this last telegram said, might be 200, more or less. An Evening with a Celebeated Lady. — These glimpses of suburban and villa life in England were happily contrasted by an evening among the literary men and artistes at the residence of Mrs. Dion Boncicault, Regent street. London. Two continents remember Agne3 Robertson, “the diamond star of the stage,” her graceful beauty, gentle humor, and musical tones- And when I was first in vited to meet her, after so many years, I was prepared for those changes of time proved in gray hairs and matronly avoir dupois. But I found the beautiful girl ripened into the lovely woman; the mother of five children, graceful as Mrs. •Dion Boncicault was when she made great capitals ring with praise of her gifts of mind and person. There was not a trace of the actress. Nothing could be more natural. A lady in everything, con siderate, well-posted, and perfectly at home, she was like one who had been reared in private life and had never known the dangerous applause of the theatre. That rare charm which makes a lovely woman more lovelv without ornament is bars The tact that makes everybody happy and at ease is an inborn quality, invaluable in the artiste, because never taught in the discipline of the drama. All her children were present—Eva, her eldest daughter, and Dion, her eldest son, at the dinner, and the next daughter, aud the next son, and the baby at the recep tion afterward. The English song cf their mother, and the French chanson of the second boy delighted everybody; and when the last of the five, the little Boncicault, kissed ns all “good night,” it was a picture for Meissonier alone to paint.—Col. Forney's Letter in the Phila delphia Press. ‘ The New York Commercial Advertiser is delighted with the speech of Mr. Bufler the other night, when he said “the war is not yet ended.” “In that Stagnant sentence,” says the Commercial, he cave the keynote of the campaign. He judges that a sham peace which allows the murder of men in every State of the Sonth on account of their principles. This is the truth that the E; six statesman has dared to utter. His fearless bugle- blast is worth ten thousand men for the Republican ticket in Massachusetts.” Without presuming to doubt the accuracy of this statement, we venture to suggest that the value of Mr Butler’s “fearless bugle-blast” has usually been computed by the thousand ^lars, instead of the thousand men. He charged Kellogg $3,000 for his “fearless bugle-blast, but only got $1,000 and nobody knows how many thousand dollars Oakes Ames and Jayne and Sanborn paid for his fearless bugle-blast.” It is one of the most ex pensive bugle-blasts the country has ever produced.—N. Y. Tribune. Wisconsin has begun raising cotton. The first bale ever grown in that State was recently on exhibition in Janesi llle.

To the Editor of the Herald : It seems to me that in your ad hominem, appeal to me to recognize the authority of Mr. Webster as opposed to the views I have taken of the Louisiana case, you do not go far enough in discriminating this case from that of tho Rhode Island gov ernment about which Mr. Webster was speaking. No one questions the genera] principle that when the President is ap plied to to protect a Slate government against domestic violence he is bound to regard “the existing government” as en titled to make the application; and cer tainly I have not questioned that the Kel logg government was the existing govern ment, and as such entitled to move the President’s consideration of its title to be regarded as tho lawful government. But suppose that the Rhode Island case had been the reverse of what it was. Suppose that tho President, using his power unlawfully, had been instrumental in making the Dorr government the existing government, by active and forcible measures assisting in its inception aud in its attainment of de facto power, can you imagine that Mr. Webster would have considered it the duty of the President, in case Mr. Dorr had applied to him to be protected under the Constitution, to include that case within the general principle of recogniz ing and maintaining the existing govem- .ment ? I cannot imagine it. I suppose he would have said just what his language in another part of his argument implies, and what is true in all cases of an appli cation under the Constitution. “These constitutional and legal provisions,” he said, “make it the indispensable duty of the President to decide, in cases of com motion, what is the rightful government of the State. He cannot avoid such de cision.” That is to say, he receives an application from an existing government, and having received it, he must decide whether it is tho lawful government. In the nctual Rhode Island case the application was made by the old or “charter” government,which was “the existing government” of which Mr. Web ster spoke. The President, aiding by Mr. Webster’s advice,decided that this gov ernment was the rightful one, and “could not possibly have decided otherwise.” Why? Because the Dorr government had not been created by the people under any sanction given by the existing govern ment to proceedings for changing the constitution of the State—a mode of action indispensable to the validity of such a change. But if the proceedings which gave rise to the Dorr government had been promoted and aided by the President, it had become thereby the existing government, and had as such applied to the President to be maintained in possession, the same -‘indispensable duty” of deciding what was “the rightful government” would have required the President to ignore it. Yon remark that “ Mr. Curtis thinks that the President is bound to find that a threatened government has a perfect title before he can interpose.” This is not quite a correct view of what I maintain ed. My position was and is, that when an application is njade. to the President by an existing State government, and he knows that it originally became the ac tual government by his own unlawful in terference, he is not at liberty to treat it as the rightful government, and thus en force his own wrong. I am reluctant to trespass again upon your columns, but I do not wish to be misunderstood. Geoege Ticknoe Cubtis. New York, Oct. 17, 1874. A TYPHOON. An American Middy’s Experience Daring the late Gale at Nagasaki—Graphic De scription of the Gale. Robbed of $100,000—A Doubtful Stoky.—New York, October 18.—The room of Luther Bryant, anqjft man, who was arrested a few days ago on the charge of buying revenue and postage stamps from boys who stole them from employ ers, was broken into while Bryant was in the Tombs, and being informed of it by the Chief of Police this morning, Biyant said there were vouchers and money in the room to the amount of $100,000, which he left. Bryant was discharged, in order to assist in regaining his -prop erty—$70,000 in $30 gold pieces, which were each marked by a small hole punched in the head of the Goddess of Liberty, and a gold watch, made by Appleton* Tracy Manufacturing Company, numbered 803, and other valu able jewelry; also one thousand dollars in mutilated currency, twelve thousand dollars in legal tender notes, and seven hundred dollars in new fifty and ten cent stamps. Bryant has offered a reward of five thousand dollars for the recovery of the property. Bryant’s story is some what doubted in police circles. It is proposed to start in New York a new association, to be called the Com missionaire Company. It is the purpose of this company to hire out what, for want of a better term, may. be called “handy men,” or, in the phrase of the oompanies, “ Commissionaires.” > The Commissionaire, as we gather from the New York Times, is intended to be a sort of Jack-of-all-work. He will clean cloth ing, collect bills, secure seats for the the atre, escort ladies to and from entertain ments in a proper evening dress, carry yonr child, move your piano, and attend your lady when'making calls," shopping, etc., acting as “lackey,” delivering visit ing cards, protecting her by umbrella from the sun and storm, or falling on a slippery day. On all such occasions he will appear in elegant servant’s livery, imported from Paris and Vienna. Surely the Commissionaire is a remarkable man. What if he should elope with yonr daughter? A recent number of a clerical paper, published in Naples, says: “The miar- cle of St. Jannarins is going on favora bly. Yesterday, after eighteen minutes prayer, the blood liquefied, as it did tho day before, after having been exposed twenty-three minutes. The faithful are flocking into the diocese in great num bers, and their belief in our holy religion is by no means diminished by the rav ings of a Satanic sect.” The following extract from a letter, written by Midshipman M. A. Shnfeldt, of Hartford, to his father, Captain R. W. Shnfeldt, now stationed at Annapolis, descriptive of the terrific typhoon which swept over the harbor of Nagasaki last August, will be found of interest: I have lots of news—first and foremost comes the great typhoon which swept over this city about two weeks ago, the strongest one, according to the Nagasaki Gazette, and in the mind of th9 “oldest inhabitant,” that this coast has seen for seventy yeans. If you remember how completely land-locked this harbor is, what good holding-ground, Ac., you can better imagine the force of the gale. We (the Hartford) were anchored in about the middle of the bay, with both bowers down and forty-five fathoms of chain on one and thirty on the other. The bay was crowded with vessels of all descriptions—merchantmen, steamers, and besides the Ashuelot, Kearsarge and Saco, the old Japanese iron-clad Azuma Khan (the old Stonewall), and three Eng lish gun-boats. At dusk it was overcast and foggy, with strong puffs of wind, tho barometer falling rapidly. I was stand ing on the forecastle about S p. m., and then it began to increase, and I could hear anchors begin to let go and chains veered all over the harbor. I ran below and took a look at the barometer—29.11 falling rapidly; at nine o’clock, 28.G7, and the wind howling and shrieking. Our top-gallant masts were on deck and every thing snug aloft. About three bells we veered to sixty fathoms on both chains, and brought up on both anchors with £ sharp tug which started them both out of the mud, and the ship dragged about two lengths, then let go the starboard sheet and dragged in about ten seconds more, when we fetched up on the sheet, which brought the ship up and swung on for an instant, bboadside to the wind, when, after a fearful careen, she slowly righted and swung “head to.” Ten minutes after, with barometer at 28.31, the wind blowing so hard that it was ut terly impossible to 'walk forward, except to crawl on your belly, something white flashed by, and away went our loretop. gallant sail, saying “good by” to the yard as neat as could be, the latter being at the time lashed in the rigging; and then, with guns of distress firing all over the harbor, an immense black object loomed up on our port bow and came down rapidly upon ns, when the Admiral rushed to the port on the half deck and sang out to stand by to veer on all chains, and to let go the starboard sheet. Down came the immense steamer with three anchors down and going ahead with her engines full speed, still passing ns stem foremost at the rate o:; about five knots an hour. I was standing aft, when heard Captain Dekraft say, “Admiral, she'll foul us ! she’ll foul us!" A sudden, powerful puff of wind, and the gallant old Hartford brought up sharp on her starboard anchors and swung slightly but rapidly to starboard, causing the dragging steamer to sheer our quarter and carry away the gig. She was soon lost in THE PITCHY DABK.VESS. A few minutes after the .Saco went by us steaming all her might and four an chors down, yet steadily drag/?ing on the rocks. Then the Kearsarge' began to send off all kinds of fire-works, and we saw (he Ashuelot and a German brig which was athwart her hawser go drift ing off. About eleven o’clock the force of the wind w-is something terrific— utterly impossible to describe. At seven bells the barometer was 28.13. The howl- ing of the gale was so fearful that it was impossible to hear a yell in your very ear, and the rain came down like knife- blades. We heard the snapping of the' masts of an immense Danish merchant man, anchored a little off our starboard bow, where she evidently had parted her chains. She went by ns liko a flash: then two immense junks came tearing down on us, and, striking our taught cables, were blown high and dry on them, as it were, which caused ns to surge ahead, when the poor devils sank with their liv ing cargoes. Only one came over our bow, with head bleeding, and he sought protection. AVe were now under full head of steam, and slowly dragging. At twelve, with the barometer at 23.10, it fell almost calm for about two minutes; then, with a yell like TEN THOUSAND DEMONS, it came out in exactly the opposite direc tion, and then blowing aQ the time just as hard, followed the compass right around. The Saco went by us again, and the immense fleet of junks went crashing and sinking all over the harbor. Through the almost impenetrable gloom I conld make out the Stonewall close aboard by the flash of her minute guns. Our ship rolled in the mountain-locked harbor of Nagasaki os heavily as in a he.svy ocean swell. Abcnt half-past one a. m. the barometer jumped from 28.13. to 28.47 and began rapidly to rise. I could not help but wonder at the great power this little instrument had to relieve human anxiety. The Admiral’s face of dnil care immediately brightened, and in fact all felt as if an immense weight was lifted, for many thought if our anchors held we might be BUN DOWN AND FOUNDEBED. The typhoon rapidly abated, and soon “all hands” had gone below to catch a little rest during the few remaining hours. The morning broke clear and calm, but with wreck and destruction on every side. The mast heads of dozens of junks were visible sticking ont of the water all around ns. On the right hand rocky shore were piled five large steamships, the majority of them blown completely ont of their element, high and dry, with masts and sails in inextricable confusion. The ma jority of the merchantmen had lost all their masts and spars. One of the largest foundered at her anchors; others total wrecks and piled in every imaginable way on the rocks; the shores lined with broken junks and sampans, and the water COVERED WITH HEAD BODIES and debris of every kind. The Stone wall had parted both her chains and gone ashore "and filled with a large hole in her side. Ashore the destruction was awful. The solid stone “bund” was tom to pieces, and the rocks and stones, weigh ing on an average half a ton apiece, thrown across the street and into the gardens of the houses facing. All the latter were down, including the Gover nor’s new palace. The streets were filled with timber, beams, bricks, tiles, broken limbs of trees, and the whole city anting on every side wreck, deso- m and death. The Japs themselves were driven nearly wild, and go around now with the longest faces in the world. Poor fellows, they deserve all the pity imaginable. Eighty junks were sunk in this harbor alone, and in all 850 dead bodies were picked np. We (that is, the fleet) came out all right. We lost our launch, dingy and first cutter—steam launch pretty' well knocked. The Ashuelot lost her head booms. The Saco and Kearsarge are all right. The sudden changing of the wind undoubtedly saved the two latter vessels. Such was the great typhoon, and now rumors of floods, wrecks and destruction of property reach us eveiy day. Nothing for the last seventy years has equalled it. I do not want to see such another. “Do you know why you are like the third term ?” said Susan Jane to her brother, who lingered to talk with her Adolphus after the old folks had retired. “No , I don’t." “Well," replied his sac charine sister, “it’s because you are oue too many.” Brick vaults and safes are now manu factured so that any attempt to reach their interior breaks sundry bottles filled with sulphuric acid into powdered carbo nate of lime. This produces instantane ously carbonic gas enough to suffocate a regiment of burglars. The Trbnblc and Its Remedy. American society is suffering a change. The period of steady habits has gone by and the age of hifalutin is at hand. The chief characteristics of the times are an overestimate of money and an underesti mate of character. Rough gold has little value, while highly burnished gilt is great ly prized. The men are overstimulated by a huge business without capital, and, after forty, walk on the ragged edge of apoplexy, while the women are overstimu lated in the imagination by a corrupt literature which has lowered the moral tone of the whole community. Everywhere there exists an insatiable appetite for mere sensationalism. Even science and religion must startle in order to attract attention. Plain English does not satisfy any more than old-fashioned morality. The old adage -which tells ns it is better to live in a wooden house and •have plenty than to live in a brick house and be pinched, has been turned upside down and the preference given to the brown stone and constant dons. It is pitiful to see science in the parti colored pantaloons of the general folly; but the scientist of the day, instead of confining himself to his legitimate sphere, must needs bring the battering ram of his newly discovered facts to bear against the oaken door of the Church, and pound away until a crowd gathers to see what will come of it all. If he narrows his labors to glacial theories, or to theories of evolution, he lives amid the applause of the few and dies unknelled, uncoffined and unknown. To escape this terrible fate he saddles the hobby horse of induction and rides rough shod over the faiths and con victions of centuries, sending dismay into the camp of the unlearned and inviting everybody to assemble quickly to witness the explosion and the general conflagra tion. Of all men onr scientists shonld carefully confine themselves to their sev eral departments of research. It ligious creeds -of the people. The i school of scientists, however, seems termined to leave the theologi nothing to do, bnt assumes the right judge not only the facts of the phys but the faiths of the spiritual world. creeping into the pulpit, desires to be popular, and sit<(amount of shrewdness laugh at his pisturesque gymnastics.

The commissioners appointed to inves tigate the circumstances of the killing of young Broke Arm and three other Osages on Medicine Lodge Creek, Kansas, by a body of (unauthorized) militia, have de clared the killing entirely unprovoked and unjustifiable, and an act for which the tribe J innst be compensated. This sustains fully the view taken by the World at the time of the commission of the outrage. The official dispatches from Gen. Miles jive full particulars of the fight on the Washita, September 12-13, between a j >arty of six soldiers bearing dispatches from McClellan to Camp Supply and 125 Kiowos and Comanches. The World has already contained a mention of the fight, in which part of its mail from its corres pondent with Miles was captured by the savages; but the display of gallantry by the handful of soldiers warrants a more detailed notice. The party was in charge of Sergeant Z. L.Woodhall, and consisted of privates Peter Bath, John Harrington and GeorgeyW. Smith, Fifth Cavalry, and Amos Chapman and William Dixon. At 6 a. m. they were surrounded and all wounded af the first fire; Smith mortally, Bath and Dixon slightly, the other three severely. While the others kept off the enemy, one man dng a trench with his knife and hands, into which all huddled, Smith, though mortally wounded, sitting upright with the rest, lest the Indians should know how the party was weakened. Un der a cold and pelting rain, without food and with nothing to drink save the rain water, with which, as it collected in the trench, mingled their own blood, they held out till aid reached them thirty-six hours after. Till dark of the first day they were constantly underfire with a foe twenty-five times their number, atarange so short that frequently they had to use their revolvers. They retained in these throughout one cartridge each, having resolved to commit suicide shonld they he overpowered. After fighting for thir. teen hours tho Indians retired, with ten or twelve killed. Private Smith died a few hours afterwards. General Miles closes his official report as follows: “The simple recital of their deeds, and the mention of the odds against which they fought; how the wounded defended the dying, and the dying aided the wounded by exposure to fresh wounds after the power of action was gone— these alone present a scene of cool courage, heroism and self-sacrifice which duty, as well as inclination, prompts us to recognize, but which we cannot fitly honor.”—H.
