great. And whilst the gale was blowing a
regular northeaster the tidal wave swept much
higher than ever before or since. The island
was entirely submerged with water except one
point—that*known as'Silvern Hill,’ adjoining
and almost in front of ‘Newfields,' now owned
by Captain James Poe tell.”
Brunswick Advertiser : ' Whilst our people
In town suffered very little from the recent
rain storm, other than from leaky roofs, others,
a few miies away, did not get off so light.
From Cumberland we get disastrous accounts.
Several houses and barns were blown down,
and occupants barely escaped with their live?.
Huge trees were snapped in two by the wind
as mere playthings The pilot boat John H.
McCullough, with Captain James Clubb and a
couple of men aboard, was on duty on our
bar when the gale came. The Captain's
description of his adventures is tull
of interest. He evidently thought his
tune had come, but still did not ‘give
up i he ship,’ but lashing himself to the wheel,
watched his compass with bated breath, as
his craft sped on before the wind, without an
inch of sail. As he was thus engagel, hia
thoughts naturally turned to his family, and
ever and anon went up the prayer: ‘Lord.
Have me. or I perish ’ v* hen dangers overtake
us how quickly we remember linn who rules
the universe! I'rom all we can gather, tr.e re
cent gale must have been more of a cyclone
than anything else, Brunswick being just on
the outer edge.”
Albany Nexcs and Advertiser: “Those who
think that the Republican party of the Second
Congressional district is not at work, and that
it is not being thoroughly organized for the
November election, are very much mistaken.
The leaders of the party are at work like bea
vers all over the country, and are working with
au energy which shows that they ‘mean busi
ness.’ Campaign clubs are being organized in
every county and at every precinct, and we
again warn the Demo .-racy of this di-trict that
the sooner they recognize the fnct that it will
not only require unity and organization, but
active work u|K»n their part, from now until
the third of November, to insure the
election of their standard bearer, the
better. Those who think that Capt. Turner
lias an easy race to run—and, judging by their
actions, their appear to be many sueu—will
find on election day, if not liefore, that they
were never worse mistaken in their lives. As
one of the results of the caucus cf leading Re
publicans in the district, held iu this city on
Tuesday last, and reported in these columns
Wednesday morning, we have now to state
that a colored campaign club was organiz-d
here last night. Of course, we bad no means
of finding out what was done, but we have
seen enough to be fully satisfied that the R 1
publican party of the Second Congressional
district is preparing to show its entire strength
on next election day.”
On Thursday last a young negro, giv.ng his
name as Arthur Jones, came to Columbus, and
swore out a warrant against Mr. Thomas
Stone, a well to do farmer of Muscogee county,
charging him with assault with intent to
murder Jack Jones, his father. The Columbus
Time* says: “The negro told the following
story: Early yesterday morning he and his
father started to their work, and after getting
some distance from the house, they were way
laid and shot at twice, the first doir-g no
damage, but the second hitting the old man in
the head, neck ai d shoulder, inflicting painful
though not necessarily dargerous wounds.
The negro says that the shooting was doue by
Mr. Thomas Stone, and that both he and his
father saw him do it. A warrant was issued
and placed in the h;indsof Bailiff McMichae*.
who went out to Mr Stone's place ar.d made
the arrest. Mr. Stone returned with him, and
going before Judge Reed asked for a con
tinuance of the hearing till next Wednes
day at 10 o'clock, which was granted, and the
prisoner admitted to bail under a bond of
two hundred und fifty dollars. The negro
assigns as the cause of the shooting that they
had had a fuss «ith Mr. Ston** some days pre
vious. Mr. Stone denies the charge, and savs
that he can prove an alibi, lie says that he
had allowed the negr es wiio live near him to
get water at his place, and that, while coming
on his premises for this purpose, he caught
one of the old man’s boys s'ealing his pota
toes. and. not caring to prosecute the boy, he
ti.ok him down and padaled him wi h a board.
Having occasion to pass the, house of the
negroes that day, he was way-aid by the old
man and his boys (two of them), knocked down
and beaten with a stick and rocks until they,
thinkii g he was dead, left him by the roadside.
He ha* not yet recovered from the injuries
received at the time, ami he says they only-
suspect him because they had tried to take his
life.”
Under the cAption “Tired of Life,” the Bruns
wick Advertiser says: “We are called upon to
record a sad episode in the events of the week
—the suicide of Captain Charles Barnard, of
the bark Tremont, of Boston. As soon as the
news of the suicide reached town. Justice Lam
bright and Constable Leavy summoned a jury
ana repaired to the vessel, below McCullough’s
dock, where she was lying, ready for sea. The
witnesses being sworn, testified in substance,
that at 6 a. m , a pistol shot was heard in bis
room, and uponinvestigati <n, the Captain was
found upon the floor, still alive, with
a wound In his right temple, and the
weapon lying on the floor. Upon
slate on his table was found the following:
dont owe anybody in Brunswick. Don’t send
my body home, but see that every'* hing be
longing to me is sent. I die because I am tired
of living. Telegraph to Emery’s for another
Captain, and write to my wife. Tell h-r I want
io be buried liere, where nobody knows me.
Jim. see to all this. [Signed] Charles Bar
nard.' From a reliable source we learu that
the deceased purchased two vials of laudanum
at one of the drug stores the daj- before. As
only one of these was found in Ills room, the
presumption was that he had taken the con-
t nfs of the other ami thrown the vial
overboard. Of this, however, there is
proof. Upon hearing the evidence, the fol
lowing verdict was rendered : ‘We, tli® jury,
find that the deceased came to his death by a
wound in his right temple, caused by a shot
from a pi-tol, manipulated by bis own hand.’
The deceased is spoken cf by those who have
had dealings with him around town as a per
fect gentleman, and never known to drink in
toxicating liquors. He was, however, of a
very nervous temperament, and was worried
by events that other men would care littl* for.
From some cause, he has been here for six
weeks loading, which fact, coupled with his
peculiar temperament, might have had some
thing to d-v with the commitment of the rash
act. The Captain hails from West Epping, N
H . where he has a nice home, a wife ana one
or two children.”

Xetrs: Political affairs have assumed such a
position here that results can be very closely
calculated. A close canvass shows Clay coun
ty 2C0 Democratic majority, with General Fin
•ey slightly ahead of his ticket, and the national
ticket will fa‘l a trifle below these figures This
shows a Democratic gain of 85.
There has been quite a number more of pub
lic meetings than usual, and no doubt a much
larger vote will be had than at any previous
election. The Hancock, Bloxham, Fin
ley and Morgan " Club of Middle-
burg had a very enthusiastic meeting at
their place October llth. Addresses were
made by Hon. A. W. Fowler, Hon M A. Kn : ght
and your correspondent. Mr. Sullivan, the Re
publican candidate for the Legislature, being
present, made a speech or rather a sort of
harangue, thus proving the falsity of Rev. W.
W. Hicks' charges about the rights of free
speech, for here a Republican made a speech
before a Democratic club and was listened to
throughout and nothing whatever was doue to
interrupt him.
Much is now being done to develop our coun
ty and our future success is no doubt assured.
The s eamer Mary Draper now makes semi
weekly trips from Jacksonville via Green (V>ve

transportation and better prices for our com-
mo lities. The fare on the boat being only one
dollar from Jacksonville to Middleburg. and
flour thirty cents per barrel causes this to be
the popular route, an 1 it is only necessary to
say that Captain McIntyre is in charge of the
Mary Draper and the trip is on the picturesque
waters of Black Creek to make this the North

ladies and children aboard.

Panama, October 6.—Advices from Lima

begin, if it has not begun already. The
bomb&rdmeut of Chorlllos, Ancon and
Chancay, which has commenced &nd the
rapid concentration of troops au(T ships at
Arica, all tend to this conclusion. They as
sert that they have sixty or seventy steam and
sailing ships in their service, and in these
they propose to bring tbe 40,000 troops who
are to turn tlie Rimac valley and the “Cliy
of the Kings” into a bowling wilderness.
Already they have ravished the whole coun

and placed on the calendar :
Whereas, Tbe work of tbe church of
Cbr»6t and the best interests of Christian civ
ilization are seriously Impeded in oue of the
territories of the United States by the ex
istence of polygamy, recognized by a large
proportion of the community as a religious
Institution ; and wherea?, polygamy is not
only contrary to the law of Gcd, but is also
forhidden under severe penalties in the ter
ritories of the United States by an act of
Congress, which bas been declared constitu
tional by tbe Supreme Court of the United
States; therefore be it
Resolved, the House of B'shops concur
ring, that while there are peculiar difficul
ties iu the execution of this Jaw, owing to
religious fanaticism, doubtless oftentimes
sincere, by which the institution of polyga
my is upheld, and especially to the fact lhat
the interests of many innocent persons are
unhappily Involved, it is still the duty of
every Christian and citizen of this republic
to U6e hia influence to aid the United States
Government in bringing about as speedily
as possible a merciful but firm enforcement
of the law iu regard to polygamy or bigamy
in tbe territories of the United States.

urges the immediate removal of the Un-
corr.pabgrcs to the mouth of the Uncom-
pahgre river or 6ome other point, where
they will be remote from the whites acd
from tbe road over which food for the
whites to 6ub6ist upon has to pass. If this

with the Utes now seems imminent. Two

Coi-resvondence of the Morning Neics.
Fort Grkene. Fla.. October 7 —Since tbe
wi iting of my last letter I have been over a
marvelous amount of territory acd have seen
a wonderful country. It is now my deliberate
conviction that under the preseat circum
stances it wouid be much easier to canvass the
States of New York, Maryland and Pennsyl
vania, all together, than to make the thorough
canvass of Florida, which Governor Bloxham
and his heroic helpers are now finishing up.
Take a map of Florida and commence at Pen
sacola and draw a line zigzagging through al!
the counties in West Florid* until you come to
C hattabocche?. and then follow along the line
of the Jacksonville. Pensacola and Mobile Rail
road, departing from it and going into every
county to the north and south ot it, and lo
several points in some of them.until the Feruan-
dina Railroad is met and then follow down
that to Cedar Key; then return to Gainesville
and continue the line from there through the
tier of counties lying on the Gulf, south, until
Manatee is reached, and then draw the line to
l*ine Leve 1 , to Fort Greene, to Bartow, to Or
lando, and thence down the St. John's over to
Jacksonville, an I some conception will be
formed of the immense labor which has been
performed by Governor Bloxham and the
triends who have been with him in arousing
the people of Florida to the support of the
cause of Democracy. Perhaps no candidate
for Governor in the Untied States has
worked as hard as our own popular
Bloxham, and his labor has not been in vain,
as will be demonstrated when the ides of No
vember come. Not too enthusiastic estimaters.
who have been over tbe entire ground, thiuk
that Bloxham will be elected by more than
live thousand majority.
F rom Sumterviile, where my last letter was
written, the campaigning party went into
Hernando county to an appointment at
Brooksville. They were met by a large and
most enthusiastic turnout of the Hernando
coun<y Democracy. The assemblage, includ
ing many stalwart men and fair women, must
have been fifteen hundred at the least. The
generous people prepared an unstinted bar
becue and basket dinner, and In every appoint
ment of the occasion there was systematic
and generous direction.
Governor Bloxham, General Loring, Colonel
McWhorter, Judge Yonge anil Judge King de
livert-d most impressive speeches, which served
to arouse the voting population to a sense of
duty, and, from present indications, Hernando
may be relied upon for a vety largely increas
ed Democratic majority. Everything is in fine
working condition in that county and there is
a determination upon the part of the unterri-
fted Democracy there to do everything to
bring out tbe full Democratic voting strength
Conover had the hardihood to go down into
that county, but he is only remembered by tbe
stench be made in the nostrils of the lovers of
honesty and good government.When the voter*
looked upon him they regarded him as a rep
resentative of ihat carpet-bag system of gov
ernment which overburdened the people -“th
taxation, which largely increase^ ihe State
debt and encumbered its internal improvement
fund with such legal entanglements that it has
been unable to help the people to the means of
transportation of which they are very much
in need. Conover is rather too much of a doee
for the best elements of the Republican party
and he would have lost no votes by remaining
away from Hernando county, and would
have saved much time aud some whiskey
The mass meetings held at Tampa and' Tur
key creek, in Hillsboro county, were very
large. At Tamjsi people congregated from all
portions or the county, and the attendance was
said to be the largest that ever wss known at
that place on a .rimliar occasion. There, as at
Brooksville, the kind people provided a most
bounteous repast of barbecued meats and a
basket dinner. The hundreds of people who
were there were attentively and amply served
by kind ladies and polite gent’emen. and no
similar occasion ever passed off more appro
priately than that.
A ble and eloquent speeches were delivered
by the ever fluent and impressive Bloxliam
General Perry. General Loring, Judge Yonge
and Colonel McWhorter, The speeches of
General Loring and Colonel McWhorter were
eminently well received. The General always
carries the people into the highest demonstra
tions of enthusiasm by his striking hits and
eloquent perorations, and Colonel McWhorter
i8 nlastorly. and. though he labored under
great difficulty on recount of a severe cold
his massive arguments fell with tremendous
force upon the attentive audience. No can
vassers were ever entertained in a more
princely manner than were the canvassers at
Tampa. Every want was most studiously
looked after, and ;t wa? wuh great difficulty
that the campaigners obtained «n opponunity
to spend a single red cent Special mention
ought to be made of Mr. J. E. Lipscomb, Judge
H. It Crane. D. Isaac Craft, Judge fUL
Mitchell, and to the firm of Miller £ Hender
son. for especial kindness during our sojourn
in the beautiful city of Tampa.
At Tampa there* was a temporary division in
the ca.mpcxgmug party. Governor Bloxham
And General Perry going to Turkey creek and
from thence to Manatee by private convey
ance, and the remaining portion of the party
going to Manatee By Miller & Henderson's
commodious mail steamer, the Cochran, upon
winch those accommodating gentlemen had
given us passes. At Manatee Colonel McWhor
ter and Judge Yonge parted with us, turning
homeward. Having been together a great
deal, and having shared the difficulties and
dangers of the way for so long, the bonds of
fraternity were not snapped without great re
f :ret. but as they were returning to the com
orts of homo white we were soon to cosunerire
the most difficult portion of the Peninsula
campaign, we could but rejoice with them over
their happy release.
The campaign in Manatee county was emi
mmtly encouraging. At Manatee, a beautiful
little village gracefully seated uoon the south
ern bank of the splendid river from which it
takes its name, there was a splendid demon
st,ration. People were out to greet
their candidate for oovernor. wh*>
had ridden fifty; mile* on horseback. The
good peopja provided a bountiful dinner.
<*3aev*iiug f, f a great variety of substantial^
and delicacies, at which the the hungry were
amply feasted. The speaking by the Governor.
General X'rrry, General Loring, Dr. Dunham
ard the Kt>v. Dr. Robinson, was listened to
with great fittention and frequently applauded
to the echo. At Pine Level, which is the capi
tal of Manatee county, and at“Ft. Greene large
meetings were held. At all pointfi the people
showed the utmost hospitality and provided
everything a generous people could for our
comfort.
Manatee L«inocracy premises the whole
ticket a majority almost double what it has ever
given before. Great interest is taken in the
coming election and every thing necessary is
being done to get ali Ute voters to the polls. In
every neighborhood active Democrats are
making a vigorous campaign. This is the first
time that a candidate for Governor has ever
been through the interior of this county. Dis
tance here is a matter of moonshioa. The
mo^-t of the population are accustomed to
making long rides hunting cattle. A trip of
thirty or forty milui ^ a small matter. Tlie
country through which we have traveled is
low And flat and now is flooded
with water. Long distances had to be
made at great disadvantage, and some
danger. Full and dangerous creeks had to be
forded v and. taking it altogether, a good deal
of patriotism and very much heroism are re
quired to make the tiip through, the Interior
which we have made. It has certainly im
pressed the Governor with the fact that these
paople need railroads more forcibly than
would the eloquent speeches of icteresteo
parlies, and the Governor has pledgtd his
best endeavor* to get means of transportation
through the country.
From here we go acres* to Orlando by pri
vate conveyance. The distance is about eighty
m iles, and wg will find high waters which we
will hav© to swim. We will be compelled to
employ guides and cany stores. But if we
get through, more of that in the next.

The neighbors hadn’t seen Mr. Smiley
hobble around into the backyard so
lively for over a year. A hasty glance
at the clothes line, and he stumbled up
the steps hurriedly and remarked ex
citedly:
“Hannah, that ere garment will have
to come off the line at once. It’s all over
town that a rebel flag is flying in my
yard.”
“Well! law sakes! That’s my last
winter’s balmoral sunning to clear out
the moths.”
“Sunning or no sunning; balmoral or
whatever it is, it must come down.”
“Ichabed Smiley, do you think I am a
fool, just because they’re making game
of you down to Small beer’s grocery
store? That balmoral stays there, rebel
flag or no,”
“Then I’ll take it down myself,” and
he reached for the first clothes pin.
“See here, Ichabod; that flag, as you
call it, rules this family. Y'ou rebel if
you dare.” And the neighbors, who
had gathered around the back yard
fence, were treated to the interesting
tableau of a mop handle and a white
plug hat.
