Governor Colquitt, to whom urgent ap peal' had been made for the commutation of the sentence of Gus Johnson, hung yesterday at Romo, wrote a letter declining to interpose Executive clemency, oh the ground that his sense of duty would not per mit him to interfere. Says he : “The kill ing wa> without provocation. The charac ter of the unfortunate young man is notori- oudv desperate. The testimony as to his sanitv lar^tdv preponderates, and leaves my mind without a doubt as to his legal and moral accountability. The highest court of tfc State, in passing upon the action of the court below, says: ‘The evidence is over- whelming, both as to the factum of the mur der and the sanity of the defendant.’ The facts furnished since his trial bearing upon the question of homicidal mania do not differ in degree from those before the jury, aud are merely cumulative, not new. Under these circumstances, Judge, as strong as is my desire in such cases to blend mercy with justice, as much as I commiserate the con dition «f the unfortunate offender, and as profound as is the sympathy I feel for his worthy relatives, my official duty forbids my interfering with the sentence of the law.” “Blockade w hisky” wagons still frequent the country about Hart county. Grain crops in the neighborhood of Lump kin art- -till looking well and arc beginning to grow finely. The prospect thus far is that the farmers there willproduc c plenty of fine oat» aud better than the average yield of wheat. A few days ago Robert McEvoy, who was to have been hung yesterday for the murder of Mr. Gregg, of Augusta, told the Sheriff that he was glad to hear that he was to be hung pri vately. as he “did not want any d—d ne groes to see him die.” Thursday morning he was singing and cursing in the most reck less manner, and when the Sheriff asked him from below what he was doing, he re plied. “It*s none of your d—d business.” He is evidently one of the few who will not find the gallows the sure gate to paradise. This is nut exactly a State item but it Is 'O near i! we will let it go in any way. The Augusta F'-tahitf News says: “During the past two weeks the mill at Graniteville, S. C., has produced 460,000 yards of cloth, 6,564 yards per loom per day. This is more than donMe the production in 1N60.” Sunday’s wind storm extended itself over the We'tern portion of Pike county. A con siderable amount of fencing was blown down, but no loss of life is reported.” Tlie Atlauta Chamber of Commerce had a meeting on Thursday, at which they vio lently imposed the selling of goods by com mercial travelers.

Our informant told us that he would be willing to take an oath on an almanac—that the morning this young man went to Buford he did not have a sign of a beard, and before the neitt morn ing he had a profuse moustache aud a most magnificent set of whiskers.” The Hartwell Sun makes honorable men tion of two young men of Hart county as follows: “A man in this county some years ago was on his death bed. lie owed a few debts that he wanted paid. He had two boys who were twins, thirteen years old, and requested them to hire themselves to work to pay his debts. The boys worked several years until they had paid the last cent, although many persons told them they were neither legally or morally bound to do so. But God had implanted honest principles iu them. One of them died for the Lost Cause, the other returned safely from the war. After passing through the rough mill of adversity he still holds his head up—an honest man.” Lumpkin Independent: “Our thrifty farm ers are hard at work pitching their crops for the coming season. The principal work that seems to be receiving the attention of them all is the planting of their corn crops, though many other necessary things are being done. Cotton lands are being bedded up, cane planted, sweet potatoes nedded, new grounds cleared and brush burned, fences remodeled and built anew—in fact there is lots of work being done, and we are glad to note that it is done with much cheerfulness and with high hopes of better and happier days.” Bamesville Gazette: “On Saturday last Mr. Frank Butler, of this county, suffered con siderably from fire. Some days before Mr. Butler had burned oif a new ground aud a stump caught and burned till Saturday, when the wind blew some fire from the stump into a piece of woods near by. The woods took fire therefrom and a regular battle ensued. Before, however,it could be ex tinguished considerable fencing was burned and about a thousand rails which had but a short time been split. The Haines in their wild rage reached a tenant house on Mr. Butler’s place, which was occupied by colored people. It is told that the blaze entered the bouse and burned the bonnet off a negro woman’s head. She closed the door, aud the house being recently built of green timbers did not bum down.” Florida Affairs. We have received letters from Fort Dade, Baldwin and Banana, Florida, enclosing numerous subscriptions to the News, and all written in a complimentary vein. One young lad)', only twelve years of* age, writing from Fort Dade, says that rather than miss her paper she would live on short rations. These expressions of appreciation of our efforts are very gratifying and en couraging. Our correspondent from Baldwin, Florida, makes considerable complaint regarding the irregularity of the mails between Baldwin and Gainesville and other points. He says that the difficulty originates at Baldwin On Mondays there is always an accumula tion of mail matter there, because there is not help enough to distribute it for Gaines ville and other points, so the agent carries it by to Cedar Keys, sending it back on Tuesday, thus keeping back the mails of Saturday, Sunday and Monday until after Tuesday’s mail arrives. This is a grievous fault, and the mail authorities should cor rect it immediately. It must work serious inconvenience and damage to the interests of all those affected by it. The blackberry crop around Monticello promises an abundant yield. Certain lands on tile St. John J s river sold the other day for four hundred dollars per acre. The-statistics of Madison county show the number of public schools in successful operation for this scholastic year to be forty- five, with an aveiage attendance of one thousand seven hundred and fifty-one. The following is said to be a good protec tion for orange trees: Pieces of bar soap one-eighth ot an inch thick, tied to a few of the main branches of orange trees, where they will gradually wear away by the rain, trickle down and penetrate every part of the tree is recommended as a good wash which will destroy insects, % . Private letters from Sumter county bring encouraging news from that section of the State. The present scaaoo is said to be very favorable for the growth of the orange and other tropical fruits. The country is settling up rapidly and there is a general feeling of eouftdc-uce among the people. Extensive preparations ait being made for the Alachua County Fair. It is already pronounced an assured success. Hon. John Morrissey’s health does not ma terially improve at Jacksonville. His condi tion on AVeduesday was very little changed from that of the night before. He rested very little Tuesday night, and at times his mind was wandering. During AV ednesday, however, he appeared to be more comforta ble. He rested well at night previous to twelve o’clock, and at one o’clock was sleeping. The case of the city of Jacksonville against Jacob D. Spang, for conducting a keno game, has been concluded. Judge Randall decided that the city had authority to punish persons for keeping a disorderly house, but that gambling was a matter for the State Circuit Courts and could only be taken cognizance of by them. He then said the affidavit charged no offence against the city, and the defendant was accordingly discharged. The citizens of Key AVest are not inclined to feel much conciliated by the appoint ment of Frank N. AVicker as Collector of Customs in that city. Green peas in abundance about Tampa. A farewell ball was given on Tuesday evening last at the St. James Hotel by the young ladies and gentlemen of Key AVest to Mr. AVm. Ledwich, who is about to relin quish the proprietorship. Here Is a fist of the good things of this life upon which the Key AVest people are now luxuriating : Green corn, egg plants, okra, mammy apples, fresh cabbage, tur nips, beets, lettuce, bananas, plaintains, puinpkiu, green peas, yams, string beaus, sugar cane, sapodillocs, pomegranates, dates aud all kinds of fresh tropical pro ducts. Monticello Constitution: “The shipments of cotton from the Monticello depot for the year ending September 1st, 1877, amounted to five thousand one hundred bales, and the shipments from the 1st of September to dafe reach five thousand five hundred bales. In all probability about two hundred and lift) ad ditional bales will be brought to this market •luring the remaining months of the cotton Year, which will aggregate five thousand seven hundred aud fifty bales, or an excess of six hundred and fifty bales oyer the ship ments of last year. The increase of ship ment* from other depots in this county are About iu the Bome ratio; and it is generally conceded that the crop < 4 f 18< < m Jefferson countv is at least two thousand bales m ex cess of that of 1876.” AVe published bv telegraph a few days W an account of the lynching of a negro bend iu Pensacola, for a brutal aud inhuman as sault on a little colored giri only five years old. from the effects of which she died. The (loanee gives the following details of the crime: “Suuday night a colored woman named Amanda Dawson, left her house for a short while, after putting her children to bed, and upon returning was horrified to find the door open and one of her children, a daughter, about live years, outside *’ e doorway, apparently insensible, rhecbild pc trim to moan terribly, as if in intense pam and as soon as consciousness was restored, told her mother a pitiful tale of how an in human monster had treated her, and gave name as Simon Johnson. The mutilated us name a» oimtm *— — •hild was takeu to Dr. Hargis, who did for her t a was latvcu w - - all that was possible to alleviate her suf ferings. The fiend has been arrested, is now ill jail, whence the sure hands of the law will bring and hold him to an account for the terrible deed he haseonumtte.h Had it not been for the iirmuess of Shenrt Hutch inson the morning of the arrest, the infun a ted assemblage of colored men, who had gathered around, would have taken and dealt with him quickly, without regard to any of the usages of law or order. Jacksonville Sun aiul Pres*: “Mrs. Good- wyn, the daughter of Robert Tyler and granddaughter of President Tyler, aud also of the celebrated tragedian, Cooper, consid ered the Chesterfield of the American stage, »ill. at the request of a number of citizens, soon favor the public of Jacksonville with a series al readings and dramatic representa tions.” The Madison Sun gives the following par ticulars of a desperate affray in that city on the 11th instant, in which one Armistead AA'illiams was shot and seriously wounded by the Town Marshal, G. W. Sessions. It says: “Armistead was drunk and behaving in a very obstreperous manner, making his line of march through town resound with yells and profanity, when Sessions started after to arrest him. He overhauled him near Colonel Hart’s residence aud demanded his surrender, at the same time laying a hand on his shoulder, which was roughly shaken off. McCall and Hankins, who had been summoned by him to assist, were told to lay hold of him, which was done. But thev were mere pigmies in the hands of Williams (who is one of the most power ful men in the country), and their weak grasp was soon shaken off and a blow was aimed at Sessions with his sledge-hammer fist, which was dodged and the compliment re turned by a blow over the head from a ‘bill)',’ which felled him. Sessions then went up to him and bade him come with him, when a scuffle ensued, in which both parties were struggling for the ‘bill}',* Armistead holding it with the right hand and striking with the left, and Sessions clinging to it des perately with his left, at the same time drawing his pistol with the right and dealing AA’illiams a blow, at about which juncture Armistead wrenched the billy from his grasp and attempted to use it. Sessions retreated a few paces, bidding him come no further or he would shoot him, repeating his warning three times, aud AVil- liams still advancing, he fired five times, the last shot felling him. But two shots took effect, one iu the thigh, striking the bone and glancing around, lodging in the fleshy pajt: the other struck a few inches below the armpit, and .‘•triking a rib, eoursed around to the back, and it is supposed pene trated the cavity. At last accounts Williams was very low.” Gainesville Tune*: “AVc had the pleasure of meeting in our sanctum this week the Rev. S. S. Sweet, agent and correspondent of the Savannah Morning News. Mr. Sweet has traveled over the greater portion of our county during his visit here, and speaks very flatteringly of the bright pros pects of the vegetable crop.” Savs the Tampa Guardian : “The orange trees seem to be fuller of blooms this spring than they have ever been heretofore, which augurs a good coining crop. Trees that were looked upon as non-productive for three years yet to come are now full of blooms. It is generally understood that it takes ten years to get “a grove in bearing; but by this is meant that it will take a grove ten years to be in full and profitable bear ing,’such as a man may depend upon for revenue. Orange trees well cared for bear fruit here at the age of four and live years, and a grove properly managed will yield a handsome revenue in much less time than ten years.” Key AVest Dispatch: “Owners of unoccu pied houses, both within the city limits and beyond them, complain of depredations committed by thieves. Iu many instances the houses and outhouses have been almost wrecked; locks are unscrewed, doors un hinged, blinds and sashes arc carried off. and it is a wonder to us that the shingles have not been ripped off to adorn some hog pen or stable. The greatest sufferers are those who own property at the greatest dis tance, as the thieves can carry ou their ne farious work with impunity py day.no one being likely to discover them. The build ings at the Salt Ponds, especially, have suf fered severely, and Mr. Cash, the owner, in forms us that he is determined to make every effort to discover the perpetrators aud cause them to be punished. It has been customa ry to charge all petty thieving of this descrip tion to the colored people, but as many—if not most of those robberies, are committed above the Third ward, and in that direction where a colored person is as great a rarity aa an organ griuder, we think that these van dalisms cannot consistently be charged to them, and the blame rests possibly with the gang of ‘Forty Thieves.’ ” Hon. R. IT. M. Davidson, member of Con gress from the Fifth Florida District, has in troduced the following bills for the improve ment of Florida rivers: “A bill making an appropriation to improve the navigation of the Chipola river. A bill making an appro priation to improve the navigation of the Suwannee river. A bill making an appro priation to remove obstructions in the mouth of the Caloosahatehee river. A bill making an appropriation to clear out the channel iu Hillsboro’ river, in Tampa Bay.” Palatka Herald: “The savage wilderness on the Ocklawaha river, the strange growth and mingling of the tropical trees, the palm, the palmetto, with the water oak, and the cypress and towering pines, all hoary with their heads of moss, tile climbing vinos, sweet flavoring jessamine and Olliers, and here and there wild orange trees, with their «ou!? n f ruit still hanging amidst a myriad of blossoms, and ui6 wh °le atmosphere laden with perfume, is a sensation wnum CHI! m, \ v be experienced by going up that wonderful stream.” AN AWFUL HOLOCAUST About Throe Thousand Famine Refugee* Destroyed by Fire—Ter rible Scene*. Jiang J\on>i Mail. At Tientsin, oil the 7th of January, a terrible calamity occurred. A tire broke out at ten o'clock in the morning, at one of the relief yards established outside of the city wail for the benefit of the famine refugees. A strong northeast wind was blowing at the time, and scarcely an hour passed before all the sheds were burned, and lietween two thousand eight hundred and three thousand women and children were suffocated or burned to death. As correct an estimate as I can get gives the numlKT of inmates as three thousand, of whom only a little over one hundred escaped. The location of this soup kitchen was unfortunate. On the east side was the city ditch; on a part of the south and west sides was an ice pit, while houses lined the remaining sides. In addition, it was surrounde5 by a strong fence of kauliang stalks plas tered with mud, in which there was only one gate, and it is said that on the burst ing forth of the flames the gatekeeper locked the gate and rau away. Many of the Chinese showed much courage in try ing to render assistance, as testified by an eye-witness, who, passing just at the time, hastened to do what he could in tearing down the fence and rendering other services. He speaks of the scene of that time as terrible beyond descrip tion. The scene presented’ after the fire had done its work was ghastly aud horrible, and the picture of it rises before my u?ipd as one that can never be’ effaced. The contortions of the features, the positions of the bodies, hands, limbs, mouth and eyes, the same as when the flame and smoke overtook them, reminded one of the de scriptions of Pompeii. Had the gate been left open probably many more might have made their escape, but so rapidly did the flames spread through the mat-sheds, aud in the straw and mats spread on the ground as a protection against dampness, that before an opening could lie made in the fence, few even were left to linger on in suffering. How the fire originated, no one seems to know —a spark, possibly, from the range where at the time the millet was cook- iuir. Young Girls.—Our young girjs do not understand the witcherv of bright eyes and rosy lips, but set off their beauty by all the artificial means which lie in their power, never reflecting that by so doing they destroy their principal charm—that of innocence. Their rounded cheeks, the bright eyes, the waving hair of a girl in her teens need only the simplest settim'. Rich fabrics and sumptuous adorning are more for the matron, her dress gaining in ample fold aud graceful sweep as she puts o» the dignity of years. The seasons teach us something here, if we go to nature for an object lesson. How different her charm from the deep, maturing summer, when the hues are de cided, aud the air is loaded with perfume from a thousand censers. The school •rirl is only on the threshold of summer. She has not crossed it vet Let her copy the sweet grace of the spring on her graduation day, and discard artificiality for nature. It is related of Victor Emanuel that during one of his habitual strolls in the country he met a little boy walking bare foot along a stony road with his shoes in his hand. “Why don't you put on your shoes?" asked the King. “Because they are nearlv worn out," said the boy, who did not know it was His Majesty.' “But these stones will tear the skin of your, feet.” "It may be so, sir; but the hurt ing of my feet costs nothing, and boots costs money.” Victor Emanuel smiled. “Whats your name, boy?” “Albert." “You bear the name of my father, and I do not wish you to hurt your feet. Take this and pay for your shoes.” He gave the boy a coin. LETTER FROM Ol’R TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT.

Cedar Keys, March 14.—Editor Morn ing Item: AVith a desire to know more of Florida, and to meet an expressed wish of others, I have undertaken this pilgrimage. I have been met with cour tesy and kindness by all with whom I have come in contact, and received re spectful replies to the many inquiries I have necessarily made. No country has been nearer, to use a provincialism. * written to death” than Florida,” and it is difficult to ascertain whether her enemies or her friends have done the greater mischief. Land agents and others who have had “axes to grind” have been profuse in their extravagant descriptions of their immediate sections. Those who have been deluded by these representations into purchasing lands, and finding them in some instances al most worthless, are overwhelmed with disappointment, and they denounce the whole emigration scheme as a monstrous fraud and deception. They are not wil ling to believe that any good thing can come out of Nazareth, and by their misrepresentations on the other ex treme do an immense amount of damage to the proper development of the State. It is said that men ought not to be duped by the advocates of either ex treme, but anyone with any knowledge of human nature knows that nothing is so absurd but what it can find some votar ies among the masses. There is nothing as a people that we pay for more cheer fully than we do to ik* humbugged. The most marvelous revelations generally have the largest number of devotees. This element of the American character is being used with wonderful profit by the shrewd land speculators of Florida. All manner of inducements are held out to those who are looking around for new homes, and every art of hum buggery is plied vigorously to effect a sale. The un scrupulous lanil dealer consoles his con science with the fact that if he had not duped the purchaser some one else would have done so. The morality of such an excuse could hardly be defended. Let it be understood, however, that all land dealers, nor all transactions m real estate, are of this character, but the pro fession has been so terribly abused that honest men are crying out for relief in this direction. I have passed from Femandina on the Atlantic to this town, Cedar Keys, on the Gulf coast. I have endeavored to study honestly the country and the peo ple, and am not forgetful that many who have preceded me differ in their esti mate; men who, perhaps, were more capable of judging than I am of these things, but nevertheless I yield to none in the honesty of purpose. The lands vary in fertility and charac ter of soil, perhaps as much as one would find in passing one hundred and fifty miles in any other State. After leav ing* Amelia Island we enter upon a light sandy region; it is sparsely settled, and the improvements of an inferior charac ter, so fur as the eye could reach on either side of the railroad. There is no settle ment of any attraction whatever, until we reach Calahan, about twenty-seven miles from Femandina; and I was in formed that no improvements had beep made in several years outside of this vil lage. The whole face of the country is low and level, with an immense amount of water on the ground, due no doubt to the heavy rains which have recently passed over this section. The evidences of fertility are not flattering at all, but perhaps equal to the modes of cultiva tion. The lumber men have denuded the land by their invasions, and there is scarcely a pine tree of respectable size near the line of road. This continues 10 Baldwin and further on. As we near the village of Lawtey, there is somewhat of a change in the color of the soil and 1 J- aDDcarance. The land continues to improve, reaching its better character, in my estimation, near the town of Gainesville, in Alachua county It degenerates as we approach the Gull’ coast. Some of the poorest pine barrens that I have seen anywhere lie between Archer and Bronson. There is in the rear of all this some rich hammock lands. In the immediate vicinity of Bronson there are some good farms and evidence of better cultivation. There is a great deal of marshy and untenable land be tween Bronson and the coast, but there are some spots of very rich soil, and if only properly drained would be valuable for truck gardening. It has only been in the last decade that the aborigines of this section of Florida possessed a land of such wou- derful development. Some rejoiced aud others seemed disconcerted at the fre quent inquiries of new comers of land, and saw disaster in the future, and actually sold out for a song, figuratively expressing it, and moved further down where they would have more elbow- room. The finishing of the railroad to this place has done wonderful things for this part of Florida. All along the line of road, at least from Lawtey to Brunson, new comers ap‘ Constantly arriving, new' places are being opened up. and houses may be seen in every stage of construc tion—many of them large and roomy, and would do credit to any town. The class of immigrants are largely fanners and mostly from the AVest; they come to work and to live. Some few come without sufficient means, expecting it an easy matter, as was represented to them, to get assistance from their new r neigh bors. They find it a hard struggle, and some are very much depressed, but they are here and must remain for they have no means to go elsewhere. Some thought orange groves grew spontaneous and could be cultivated without much labor, and that in a few' years they would be independent. A sad mistake—men must work here as well as elsewhere if they would have the comforts of life about them. Truck gardening is the prevail ing avocation, and thousands of peas and beans and strawberries are now seek ing a Northern market. J. A. Pine, Esq., formerly of Omaha, Nebraska, but now of Archer, before tho agricultural society of that place, gives the following as his vpiulou aud advice to new comers: “For one I have come to Florida to stay; here I expect to live, here I expect to die. lam Oil!? cnrr }’ that I did not make the move ten years before I did. I have battled with the freezing cold of a bleak Northwest, have bended every en ergy in Hying to save myself from the lo cust andjpotato bug. But of these things I have had enough. I did not expect to find a paradise when I came down to Florida—time enough tor that when we get to heaven. Perhaps when you reach ed here, as I did w ith a slim purse, you found the stniggle to start sharp and se vere. Then if you grow weary and faint hearted, lose your courage and ambition, and commence grumbling about the country, about the people, about the water, about the climate, the people will not only soon lose faith in you, but your complaint will rapidly* liecome chronic and incurable. Speaking for myself I can only say I have met here with kindness ancl confidence, and when I wanted a favor I had but to ask for it. AVhen it is seen that a man is not afraid or ashamed to work, that be Intends to be honest and upright in his dealings, his position is assured. Pluck, industry and an intelligent seeking after the best way to direct that industry will be sure to win in the long run.’’ This is sensible advice, and those who would seek a home in Florida must not expect a paradise. AVork, and a fixed determination to stick, is just what is needed to make life a success here. Jack Plane.

Many were ac companied by their families, and almost even' portion of our great republic was represented. They received numerous hospitable atfentions, and were highly pleased with our progressive city. A rich harvest has been reaped within the present week by the chevaliers d'In dustrie, who ply their vocation upon the great lines of travel, and prey upon the unwary. Several rooms in the Carleton and St. James Hotels have been entered at night and robbed of money and jewelry to a very considerable amount. The work was evidently that of profes sionals, who have, thus far, escaped de tection. The discussion upon the application for the appointment of a receiver for the Florida Central Railroad, still continues to occupy the attention of the Circuit Court. One of the counsel employed, remarked in an argument last week that certain proceedings were not in fieri. In view of the lengthy, expensive and intermina ble litigation,it is to be regretted that all of the proceedings cannot lie consigned to a fiery furnace. A decision in this matter will probably be reached during the pres ent week. Bishop AVhipple, of the Diocese of Minnesota, delivered an admirable dis course upon the general subject of mis sions last Sunday. The venerable divine remarked, in alluding to the docility of the colored race, that during the four years of wasting war that devastated the South there was not a single instance re corded of an attempt at insurrection on the part of the slaves. This fact, said he, spoke volumes not only in favor of the negroes, but also of their masters. He related several instances of the hu manity and magnanimity of Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perces, and declared that it was a crime against Christianity and civilization to unite in the cry of ex termination against such a people. A fine three-masted schooner, of staunch construction and beautiful finish, was launched last Saturday. She bears the name of General F. E. Spinner, the ex-Treasurer of the United States, who now resides in this city. The launch was most successful, and was witnessed by a large concourse of spec tators. Mr. AVilliam Astor, with his usual munificence, has donated two hundred and fifty dollars to St. Luke’s Hospital, and in addition has furnished and en dowed a room for the present year in that institution. The many charitable acts of tfiis gentleman, effected quietly and without parade, have relieved much suffering and endeared him to many an unfortunate. AVealth, when thus em ployed, is twice blessed, for it blesseth thegiver as well as the recipient. On Tuesday next the Conservatives will hold a convention for the nomina tion of city officers. It is expected that the ticket will be composed of good and responsible men, taken from lioth parties. Such a slate can and will be successful. Ou the contrary, the Repub lican ticket, it is generally understood, has been already prepared by the wire pullers, and will lie composed of chronic office seekers and political bummers. Hon. John Morrissey has had another relapse, and is again facinv th» —; m common enemy' His condition ia ex- ircuieiy critical, and the gravest fears are entertained of the result. AVith the iron will, characteristic of the patient, he faces the King of Terrors with un- diminished fortitude, and although pros trated bv a fearful complication of mala dies, is calm and resigned. no period of the season has the city been so full of visitors as at present. The weather is delightful, and straw hats and spring clothing are in request. Captain Eads is expected daily. He will be accompanied by two of his daughters, and also by Colonel Andrews, a noted engineer. AV. H. B. Stay in Georgia. Gainesville Eagle. If our rural readers could lie about Atlanta cr any other railroad centre for a time and sec the flood of poor, dejected, disease-stricken people who are at all months of the year returning to their old homes, the western fever would soon he cured, and our people settle down to work m earnest to make preparation to spend the remainder of their days in Georgia. It is a matter of surprise that so many of our people are yearly enticed to Texas and other AVestem States by irresponsible immigrant agents, who are paid for their services, like the ticket agent of a side show, the capacity for mis representation qnd deception being the principal ingredient in the make-up of the man employed. It is getting to be high time that our people, aud especially our young men, the hope of the country, were learning that it is to their best interest to stay here and engage in building up and de veloping the resources of Georgia. Money don’t grow on trees in Texas or anywhere else. It is made honestly by hard licks and well directed efforts, coupled with strict economy and close attention to business. It is made dis honestly by chicaner}*, sharp practice and dishonest methods. Now, if a voungman has decided to “live honestly, hurt nobody anu render to every one his dues,” he has a broad field for the exer cise of the gift that God hath given him, and ample protection in Georgia. If he wants to make money fast, as it is termed, he ought to go AVest. There is less law aud order there than here. He can wear an old pistol in Tex as or the territories, and stick his pants in his boots and go to court, or to church, and be considered as onlv p r#i “; , .rGu Tor emergency. lie can trade for land or stock and use most of the tricks known to professional swindlers in his transac tions and stand a good chance to escape detection and punishment. These things he can’Udo so well in Georgia. Here the machinery of the law is iu perfect order and the people are law-abiding, and hence for his lawless acta he would re ceive merited punishment. If the land here be thoroughly pre pared and well cultivated, it produces as well as any to be found on the globe. This has been abundantly demonstrated at all the fairs and exhibitions of agricul tural products. Let parents begin to teach their children to stay about the old homestead; and in order to do this, the old home should lie made as near a paradise as it is possible to have on this earth. Children, like grown-up peo ple, are different in their tastes, wants, habits and requirements. All these should be studied, and the young folks made as happy as possi ble. AVhen this is the case, and vines are planted about the doors, and flowers and evergreens are cultivated in the grounds, and there is generally a more cordial social intercourse between neighbors and parents and children, our homes will be more attractive and happv; and, in the near future, our young men will see the folly of going West, and will settle down to make pleasant and happy homes of their own in the old neighbor hood, and make preparations to "sleep, “ when life’s fitful dream is over,” in the old church yard with their ancestors. It was currently reported at the time of ex-Senator Wade’s death, and even so stated by a son of the deceased, that he had left no will, preferring to let the estate be settled by due course of law. It now transpires that a will has been discovered, in which Airs. Wade is made executrix and sole legatee of his entire property, both personal and real Plot to Steal a Vessel and her Cargo —How it was Discovered. Baltimore, March 13.—One of the most remarkable instances of alleged barratry that has lieen brought to light here in a good many years was dis covered yesterday, a British brigantine and her whole cargo of coffee being re presented to have been “appropriated” by a passenger, in collusion with her Captain and crew, and brought here to be sold. The British brigantine Alexis, Captain George AA'illiams, reached Baltimore ou March 7, from Porto Cabello, Venezuela, with 4.377 bags coffee, weighing508,535 pounds, and 822 hides. J. F. Kinnear, an Englishman about thirty-five years old, of good address, with his colored servant, came as passengers. Kinnear represented that he owned the cargo, and said that he had been traveling in South America for his health. He said he bought the cargo for a private venture, and believing the United States offered a better market than could be found in Eu rope, he concluded to come to Hampton Roads in search of purchasers. Before ordering the vessel to Baltimore he came here from Hampton Roads, and for a day or two negotiated with coffee buyers, at length arranging with Messrs. Eugene Levering & Co., Commerce street, coffee importers and jobbers, to buy the cargo from him or sell it for him. When the brigantine reached port she entered at the custom house, but her papers were in some respects irregular. The manifest, on a rough-looking piece of paper, read that the cargo was shipped by Rivas & Velasques, Porto Cabello. and was consigned to J. F. Kinnear, and that she left Porto Cabello, January 31. The coffee and hides were stored in a warehouse on Falls Point, and the vessel went to Canton for ballast. In the meantime doubts as to the regularity of her papers were not allayed. Kinnear had asked the Messrs. Levering to advance $60,000 cash on the cargo, but the firm held the request under ad visement. It was found that no brig named Alexis was in any maritime rec ord, and a dispatch to the Canadian Min ister of Marine Affairs elicited the reply that Hopewell. Nova Scotia, from which the papers said the Alexis hailed, was not a port of register. This confirmed the suspicion that there was something wrong, and attention was at once given the matter by the British Consul. Collector Thomas and others, with a view of unraveling the mystery. Dispatches were sent to different points in Europe and Canada. Kinnear and Captain AVilliams finding out their scheme was in danger of exposure, left the city ou Monday. The two mates, four seamen and the steward, some of them colored, had left two days before, and yesterday it was* discovered that every one connected with the vessel had disappeared. Mr. R. C. Hays, ship- broker, received a dispatch from Mills & Co., of St. Johns, New Brunswick, owners of the British brigantine Alice, saying that she had been chartered to take a cargo of coffee from Porto Ca bello, and it was doubtless their vessel which was in the port of Baltimore. Next it was found out that the Alice’s cargo was destined for Hamburg, Ger many, and dispatches sent there brought back the information that the cargo was owned by several Hamburg mercantile firms to whom it had been shipped from Porto Cabello, and that it was insured in Europe at its value, namely ninety-two thousand dollars gold. The name of the Alice wherever it appeared on the vessel had been erased and Alexis substituted. Even tl»*» mi S e -.esignation had b<*- cut out “ he „ it was branded and 106. the correct ton- uai >, t-uanged to 203. The regular clear ance papers with which she left Porto Cabello had been destroyed and a false set made out in the n;,me of the Alexis, witli J. F. Kinhear as owner of the cargo. These papers bore the stamp of Rivas & Velasques, and were probably obtained in blank at Porto Cabello. Kinnear stopped at a leading hotel here, and in his haste to get away he left his colored servant behind, and the latter has fallen into the hands of the police, He says he has been the body servant of Kinnear for two years. The British Consul yester day placed a watchman in custody of the brig, and she is held to await identi fication. Messrs. Levering, it is under stood, advanced Kinnear one thousand dollars, but refused to buy the cargo or sell ii ou commission until he had identified himself as the owner. As the affair has turned out the owners of the cargo and also of the vessel will not be large losers, as lK>th are held intact. Blaine’s Gout. A young lady gave a lunch party to fifty girls. An invitation was sent to the young ladies at the AA'hite House and to Miss Ella Sherman. An acceptance or regret is always expected to such in vitations. No such response was re ceived, nor did the ladies attend. It is not yet known what did become of those invitations. But the greatest misfortune happened to Senator Blaine and his wife. The Senator was suffering from an acute attack of gout when an invitation was received to dine with the Russian Minis ter. An invitation to dine with a diplo mat is as obligatory as an invitation to the Executive mahogany. ^Ir. Blaine was assisted into his claw hammer, white choker, and more painful than all, his neatly fitting dress boots. The agony was dreadful, but a public man cannot succumb to gout when duty demands martyrdom. Mr. and Mrs. Blaine drove to the legation and pain fully ascended the long terraced steps from the sidewalk to the door of the house, which is one that the Board of Public AVorks left fifteen feel above its original level. The mansion was dark, and iu answer to a ring of the bell a ser vant without gloves opened the door. The guests observed that there were no lights or evidences of an expected feast, and learned to their disgust that they had anticipated their invitation by a week. It is useless to state the feelings of Mr. and Mrs. Blaine, but as they alone were responsible for the mistake, they quickly telegraphed to the co»chman not to drive °ff- They returned home. It was Satur day evening, aud no dinner had been or dered. The children’s dinner was over, and there was nothing in the larder but the provisions provided for Sunday. A very slight and simple repast was all that could be improvised to meet the emer gency. Surrounded by terrors, the wags of Stamboul would still have their little joke. AVhen it was learned that the Brit ish fleet was bearing down on the Golden Horn, criers were sent out through the city to advise the people of the approach and to prepare them for the tiring of heavy cannon. But the ships came not, and when it was apparent that their ar rival need no longer be looked for, the walls of Pera were pasted with a poster, reading: “Lost—Between Bessika Bay and the Sultan’s palace, a fleet of six iron clads, bearing the English flag. Any one communicating to Lord Beaconsfield in formation as to their whereabouts will be suitably rewarded.” Waltham, Addison county. Vt., has neither doctor, lawyer, merchant, post office nor pauper, and it is painful to be told by the Burlington Y’ree Press that there only two hundred and fifty in- iiabitants tn onjoy ail this luxury. Rev. Henry AVard Beecher is skeptical as to Ingersoll’s infidelity, and says he (IngersoU) believes in the Bible as much as he (Beecher) does.
