The talk is that the Postal Telegraph Company will transmit messaged to any part of the country at the uniform rat*- of • >ne cent a word. This i- pieasant talk, but is it reliable* It will be well to wait and see what the company does in the way <*f reducing rates before indulging in congratulations. 4>ov*-rnor Foster estimates that it will require a quarter of a million of dollars to carry Ohio lor the Republicans.

Th.- Brotherhood of Telegraphers are not gushing over the Knights of Labor a much as they were some weeks ago. The Knights did not unlock their strong box. ami the Brotherhood therefore charge them with having caused the failure of the strike. The strike not only failed, but produced bad feeling between two strong tabor organizations. Congressman Evins, of South Carolina, thinks that the favorite in the tfouth (jpi th** Democratic Presidential nomination is McDonald. He likes Randall, but doesn’t think be is the man the Democrats want for i>eaker. The tariff quest ion, be thinks, w ill come up neat w inter, and the Democratic party cannot afford to have a man in the* Speaker’s e-hair who is ne*t in full sympathy with the party ou that question. An imaginative newspaper corres pomlent nays that oneot the objects of the President's visit in the Northwest is to look over the ground in connection with a scheme to annex British Columbia to this country. The correspondent says it i- reported that the President is Interested in the acquisition of that territory. All of this does for a sensational newspaper article, but it is not expected that sensi ble people will believe it. stories of miraculous cures continue to be reported. The latest comes from Bos ton. A girl who had been a cripple for eight years, after a prayer to “Our Lady of Perjietual Help.” suddenly recovered the use of her limbs, •>f course there are very few wno will lielieve that there was anything miraculous in the case. They will insist that if there was such a case the cure can be accounted for without resort ing to supernatural causes. The Dawson Journal says that I*r. Jones, in trying to kill the caterpillars, killed his cotton. He used a pound of j arsenic to forty gallons of' water, and j wherever the poison touched it left his cotton booking as if a fire had swept ! through the field. We think the Amcfi cus fiepublifJi n represented Lot, Haw kins, of that county, as using and recoinm-nd ing the same remedy. It is now in orde to bear the report of that gentleman. The level-headed grand jurors of Doug, las county have shown how to correct the evil ol undervaluing property in giving it in for taxes. They examined the tax liooks and found that more than three hundred persons had made dishonest returns, whereupon they proceeded to assess the property at its true value, increasing the value of one man's property over nine thousand dollars. Of course, the reas sessed gentlemen will lie angry about It, but the county guardians of the public welfare should stand firm. It seems that the ship railway enter- j prise of our time is not anew idea or a j new enterprise. A correspondent of the < Pall Mall Gazette resurrects the fact that in the rear 1718 vessels of war were trans lated across hills and valleys, a distance j of fourteen miles, to assist at the siege of Frederickshall, where Charles the Twelfth lost bis life- The engineer or this ship railway was Emanuel Swedenborg, one of . the most remarkable men the world has J produced. He was one of the greatest of theologians, mathematicians and scien tists. A Scheme of German Bondholder*-. It seems that an effort is to be made to test the liability of the Federal Govern ment to pay certain bonds, issued or guaranteed by this state at the time when the carpet-bag government had control and the people had no voice in affairs f the state. The Mis&jmri li*yuMiom treats the matter as follows: •■When the people of Georgia came into possession of their State Government sev eral rears ago. the Legislature a committee to investigate the state debt and report how it was contracted. This committee reported that all the debt was va’id lawful!v contracted, and binding, except about s6.ooo.ooo bonds issued under the ‘ ,ra-*--vr regime, without the warrant of anv sufficient law and without the approval of the people, a large por tion of the bonds having been given away for insufficient considera tion or divided among favorites. It was recommended that these bonds lie disavowed, as they were cot a legal obligation on the people, and they were not bound, either in law or morals, to pav them. The Legislature acted on this advice, disowned the bonds, and ever since has refused to pay the interest on them. There was a great outegy at the North against this act of -repudiation.’ as it was called, and it was predicted that Georgia credit would be irreparably in jured. But this prediction was not fulfilled. Georgia credit ha- -teadily inproved since th" disavowal, and the state can borrow money on very easy terms. Now we hear that anew scheme is proposed to secure pavment of the discredited bonds. s ome of them are held by Germans, and the German Minister ’at Washington is the United States Supreme Court ide whether the Federal Gov ernment its*-lf is not bound for the debt on these grounds: that when the debt was contracted there was no lawful government of the people in the Mate: the ■ nly vernment in Georgia wasasemi mifitary one imposed by the Federal }-,w"r:" it was this semi-tnilitary govern ment set up by the Federal authorities that i-sued the bonds: the people of the state had nothing to do with the transac tion. for thev were debarred from the right , - self-government by th<- military, acting Waahingtoa. Th>- Fed eral Government, therefore, is the only power resjionsible for the debt contracted uodei j;- supervision and by its crea tor* n. and that government ought to pay the debt. ••TL <• i- as presented is a strong one in an international point of view. If it were in L.vpt. or - *iu other feeble Mate, the claim Would be enforced by a navv and embargo: but that sort of thing would not n . ;*h a piwcrful country like the Ini;**! St ties, and as there is no law au thorizing tin- Federal <overument to as -oine the debts contracted by carpet-bag _'*•! -tat. governments, the Georgia bond holders have a *-!i:n pms.ieet for their money.” Tin* bonds referred to were either issued or guaranteed for the benefit of the Bainbridge.j Cuthbert and Columbus Railway, the Brunswick and Albany Railway, and the Cartersville'and Van Wi rt Railway. A committee of the Leg islature. after tue jieople got control of th* -tat" Government, made a thorough examination of tii state debt, and re l*orted against that portion of it which was clearly invalid. The rejs.it "as adopted, and ordinances were passed pro hibiting the p... ment of the bonds in some ca-es. and in other cases deglaring them void. These ordinances were afterward*, incorporated in the constitution, and that ended the matter so or as Georgia was ; oncf-rn*d. Tiie position taken by *>;<* German li',iii''r** of these bonds is novel and interesting. St mu-t Ire ackowledgetl, however, that it is not without strength. The carjiet-bag government, which , issued the bonds, was practically the Federal Government. It was the creature not of the people of the State but of Fed eral jx.vl * irresponsibility for its acts ! re-is anywhere, therefore, it rests not on the Mate which repudiated I it, but on the Federal Govern ment which made it- existence {kkW b!e. If the German Minister pur •*." i-ourse indicated, the progress of the case imiii **ttiireme Court at Wash ington will be watctieo -. iyb <-onsider a'ole interest. Intelligent participants in the latewar and their children alter them, remarks the New Orleans Picayune, will always resent the charge that secession was a crime, or that it involved any de gree of moral turpitude. The right of sc : cession was not first asserted in the South. It was as old as the discussion of the po litical relationship of the Mates, and the 1/est minds, the most eminent statesmen and the most learned jurists were divided as to the strength of tot argument upon either side. Men of ordinary capacity and superficial instruction were not corn latent in that day to deal with a question involving the history and formation of the government, and that class of men are in i coini>ctent to criticise at the present day ! those who took sides on the question, •‘when, therefore,” -ays the Picayune, -we find a certain class of people (Chi cago Tribune talking about secession as though it were as obviously criminal as burglary or murder, contempt inevitably mingles *,V'*h our estimate of their judg ment.’* One of the witnesses testifying before the Senate Committee, now in session in New York and charged with the duty of inquiring into the causes of strikes, gave the following reasons for the failure of the telegraphers' strike. “The first few strikes." he said, “that workmen in any particular trade indulge in are lost from the fact that the employers are unable at first to comprehend that lal>or has certain rights which they ought to respect; sec ondly. that they are unaware that the laborers who are on a strike ate capable ot inflicting any injury ujion them; third ly. that when they are once in a strike and hold out for a considerable period, they do not like to weaken and accede to the demands of their employes: they would rather make large sacrifices of their capital.” From these reasons the inference is drawn that if the telegraph ers should strike again they would stand a better change <f success. Letters written by James Buchanan, appear to be turning up quite frequently lately. Not long ago one appeared that he had written to the lady to whom he was engaged to be married. The Philadelphia Press printed the following, written Sep- I eember gist. 1%!, a few days ago. It had never la-fore appeared in print: “I pursued my own steady course from the beginning. The Charleston authori ties were distinctly notified, over and over again, that if they attacked Fort Sumter, I should consider this attack as the commencement of a civil war. 1 need scarcely say that J agree with you in ap proving the active prosecution of the war by the government, and I have never held any other language since theConlederates commenced it by the attack on Fort Sum ter. It would probabiy have commenced early in January had the Senate confirmed my nomination of a Collector for the jort of Charleston.” The prospects of the Florida Ship Canal look more promising now than ever be fore. 'ins report of Gen. Stone, the_ Chief Engineer of the enterprise, made at a meeting of the directors of the ship Canal Company in New York yesterday, is in 1! respects encouraging. He places the cost at 54.,0"0,MX), and thinks the work can he done for less than that amount. The length of the canal will be about 137 miles, and the deepest cut w ill lie lb; feet. This deep cut, however, will not lie a long cut, and very large part of the work can be doue with dredg ing maehines. It seems that the question whether the enterprise would Ik- profit able u at settled at the meeting yesterday to the satisfaction of those present. Gov. Brown expressed the belief that work on the canal would lie begun in ninety days. It is probable that this long talked-of scoutne is about to take definite shape. Referring to u*e three '-uses of yellow fever at the navy yard, wuicb is seven miles from Pensacola, the Gazette of mat city says a perfect cordon has Imen estab lished around the infected district, and “our sister cities can feel a_sured that nothing will lie left undone to keep the disease from Pensacola.” The Collector left the management of the m liter in the hands of the local Board o! Health, and the Gazelle says every avtms- of eeeajie from the reservation Is most carefully guarded, so that, should the fever leeoiue epidemic, it will be confined to the reser vation. it looks as if the cholera had spent its loree in Egypt. The scientists who are in vestigating the scourage will soon tie able, perhaps, to say whether the disease is Asiatic cholera or not. Tfc Situation in Virginia. The political situation in Virginia is daily becoming more interesting. The straight Republican party is showing mr ,re~ vigor than was expected, and the indications are that the fight l*etween the Readjusters and the Republi cans will tie fully as earnest and. perhaps, as bitter as the fight between the Readjusters and the Democrats. Dezen dorf is hardly the man to lead the Repub licans. He depends too much on long wailing letters which he furnishes to the press rather than upon sharp, energetic work. The arbitrary conduct of Mahone. however, in all matters pertaining to par ty management, and his bold attempt to merge the Republican organizations in the various counties into those of the Readjusters, have aroused the hostility of many of the strongest Republicans who have all along been acting with him. and they have either resumed or are preparing to resume their connection with the strateht Republican party. Mahone undoubtedly thinks that if he can hold the negroes, he is safe, but the chances are that he can not hold them. He has done noth ing for them, and they will not be long in und"rstanding. when the canvass fairly begins, that in helping Mahone they are not furthering their interest in the least. No doubt the President will soon be asked to give the supi*ort of the administration to the straight Republicans, and he will have to decide whether he will continue to stand by his corrupt bargain vvith Mahone or not. Leading Republicans of the country are oi>enly condemning the administration for allowing Mahone to use the patronage of Virginia to break down the Republican party in that State. It may be that the President will not heed their protests. If he does not. it will be an acknowledgment that the bargain with Mahone is of such a character that it cannot safely be broken. Whether the straightout Republicans of Virginia get any encouragement from the admin istration or not. it i certain they propose to tight Mahone to the bitter end. They would rather see the Democrats than Mahone successful. P is to be hop-d that they will keep up their fight, it means the overthrow of Mahone and the victory ot the Democrats. As the bunko business declines in New York, highway rubbery seems to flourish. The story ol the robbery of Mr. Towle, of Florida, of $1,600 shows what strangers who wander out after dark in many parts of that city may expect. He was struck in the head with a sand club, and was. of course, rendered insensible at once. One of the oldest New York detectives, speaking of the Towle ease, said: - Strangers in this city, and esjiecially in that part of the city, who go out after dark with large sums of money in their possesion simply take their lives in their hands, and all the police :a the world will not save them. It is a mistake tbWuppose that they are the victims of a’chance blow from some passing ruffian—they are watched previously, tor days it may be. and it is only when the sought-for oppor tunity arrives that the robbery and. if need l>e, the murder are perpetrated. There is no safer place for a highway rob ber or a murderer than a great city like this, which furnishes hiding places and opjiortunitie for disguise that arc wholly unknown elsewhere, and numerous as are the arrests of such characters, the re cords of the department show that, after all, they are few. in comparison with the numbers who somehow manage to elude justi' ■# luis I- iy-i a- erv complimentary story tit a city wuich Mr. Gonaut, in ?h<* last number of the Century, says is bound to become the metropolis of the world.

Remembering that the officers who composed the original Fitz-John Porter court-martial and the witnesses who tes tified against him were promoted, as a re ward for convicting Porter, Gen. Logan is encouraged to hope that this fierce zeal against the old soldier will help him along toward the White House, Information from a Republican Source Missouri Rtjmbllcan. When a Democratic paper charges that the Republican officials at Washington are making a delilx-rate effort to ignore the Civil Service Commission there is hot and quick denial of the charge by all the Republican organs, but we have recently been favored with information to the same effect from a Republican source, and we are surelv justified now in saying that it is no accident that the great reform has so far failed to materialize in any visible shaj>e. A Point to be Settled. Bouton Advertiser. i One point should lie distinctly kept in mind in following the contest in Virgiuia between the straight Republicans and the “Maiioneites.” Each will send a delega tion to the National Republican Conven tion. That body w ill decide which of the two shall lie admitted. Senator Mahone has announced that his supporters will lie for President Arthur’s renomlnfttion, and the “straight-outs” have declared for Mr. Blaine. The call for the convention allows either faction to be eligible, as it requires no previous adherence to the Republican party. ITEMS OF INTEREST. The Minnesota Tribune asks the sad question, “What becomes of all the oleo margarine*” it is a w ise man who dares deny that he know-s where some of it has gone. The changes produced in plants during successive generations are now so great that the original prototypes of most of our favorite species under cultivation are either unknown or in doubt.

It is nroppsed to include the entire county of Santa Barbara in the municir pality of the same name, thereby making it the largest city in the world in point of territorial extent. There is significance enough in the plan to cause inquiry into its causes. Two New York lawyers who were una ble to agree on an umpire to decide the value of a piece of property resorted in despair to tfie Scriptural method. Four n.'irnos were placed in a bat and the Judge of the court drew’ one out. ttoth sides were satisfied with the result. Among ins many conflicting announce ments made as to the movements of Moody and San key, one of the latest is that they will undertake to evangelize Baltimore, The people of that city are supremely conservative in their relig ious beliefs and methods, ami are not the kind to be carried away by sudden enthu siasm, They rely on their regular church operations for spiritual improvement rather than on the efforts of the most elo quent evangelists. “Yks,” said an oflicer of the Canada, in speaking of Prince George of Wales, “we like the Prince very well. He conduct® himself just like one of ourselves. Oh. no, he is not stuck up at all. He Is treated by all on board just like any other middy. Nobody makes any difference because he happens to be the Prince of Wales’ son. And he does not act any differently him self. He is pretty lively, and enjoys a lark as well as ariy of us. He takes his turn at the watch, and does hjs duty as well as can be expected. But I don't think he cares much about his work: not any more than other boys of his age do; of eourse. he's only a boy yet. and has not entered upon life seriously. He was tat tooed on the arm while he was on the Bac chante. He gets on well with the officers and is prettv'well liked bv the men. Oh. no. we don’t make any fuss over him when entering a port, nor is he paid honors. He is not sailing in his capacity or position as Prince, but as a middy.” Bishop Huntingdon-, of the Protes tant Episcopal Diocese of Central New York, utters some severe strictures ou Sunday schools as generally managed. He says that the only task which war rants their existence is the religious train ing of children. He claims that for this great work the provision which is made is wholly inadequate. He hints that most of the teachers, although well-meaning, are --without indoctrination, experience, dignity, discrimination, or the faculty of instructing." And he thinks the clergv man who lets the duty of instructing the children slip out of his hands aiW fall into those of such people as are in charge of the .Sunday school interests incurs "a guilt for which he. and he alone, must answer.” The Bishop’s opinion of Sunday school teachers may seem uncharitable. But. unfortunately, there are many good Christians and judicious educators who from. extensive observation know that there are numerous cases in which the religious training of the youngsters is committed to just such persons as he de sorits-s. Thk Chicago Printer has the following about a well known Chicagoan: “The portrait of William Henry Smith, General Agent of the Associated Press, recently appeared in one of the Eastern magazines, and was copied into the Commercial Gazette, of Cincinnati. It called to the mind ot the writer the time when Mr. Smith first came to Cincinnati from a farm in Champaign count}-. He was an intel ligent country youth,’who had acquired a knowledge of phonography by means of a poor instruction l*ook and his own apibi tiou to jxissess a power of usefulness not in the hands of every one else. With this magic key. and the spirit of enterprise it inspired within his soul, he soon found his wav into the editorial sanctum of the Gazette ortfoe; it secured him the position of private secretary to Governor Hayes; it led to his election as Secretary of State, and his api*ointment by the President as Collector of Customs at Chicago; and now. in the consolidation or the Western and Eastern Press Associations, he has been called to New York to take general charge of its affairs, on a salary that he never dreamed of when studying phonography in his humble country home.” BRIGHT BITS.

Arthur Sherburne Hardy, the au thor of the novel. -‘But Yet a Woman,” is a native of Andover, Mass., and is now 36 years of age. He spent much of his youth in Europe, especially in Switzer land and Spain. When the civil war broke out he presented himself as a vol unteer, but was rejected on account of his youth. He afterward entered West Point Academy, from which he was graduated in 1569 with a mathematical reputation which secured him an election to a scientific professorship at Dartmouth College. He spent eighteen months in Paris preparing himself for his new du ties, and on his'return published a college text-book. “The Element of Quaternions,” which has become a standard book in this country and in Europe. The preparation of this book so told upon his energies that he was compelled to seek relaxation. He sought it by going to Mount Desert and writing the “But Y'et a Woman.” Ten editions have been sold since the first edi tion three months ago. Prof. Hardy is a modest man, and when he saw there was a possibility of his becoming famous he went to Germany to perfect himself in the language of that country, and is there now. ' JOHN ADAM TREUTLEN. First Governor of Georgia—This Myste rious History—Hi Many Living De scendants. Editor Morning Xeirsi In one of the issues of your paper during or about the time of the Sesqui-Centennial there was an item which contained the assertion that John Adam Treutlen, the first Gover nor of the State of Georgia, was a >alz burgher. There is no doubt he was an official member of the church of the Salzburghers at Ebenezer before the war of the revolution began, as his name appears among the twelve deacons of that church during the pastorates of Rabenhorst and Tribner. He was a citizen of that part of Effingham county which was then t*t. Matthew's parish, and his home was about eight miles above Ebenezer. in the imme diate neighborhood of rosters’ Ferry. Whether lie was a Lutheran from choice, or because that was the only accessible Christian enurch. is uncertain, liecause it is by no means certain he was a Salz burgher. Indeed, the weight of such testi mony as I have is, that he was not. It is equally strange and unfortunate that so little of the history of Governor Treutlen is known. What was his native country, when he came to Georgia, how his youth and manhood were passed up to the revolution, are all unknown. And stranger yet. although he was among the earliest and most conspicuous of the Georgia revolutionists, and was the first Governor of the State, his subsequent his tory lias l*een lost. There has been no one to record the date, place and manner of his death, and his grave—like almost everything connected with his is unknown. In consequence of this meagre information the name and famed Governor Treutlen have been neglected. Georgia has given his name to no county or town within her limits, nor done anything else to perpetuate her jirst Governor. This neglect could not have grown out of any personal disqualifica tion or the rendering of inconsiderable service. He was a member of the Provin cial Congress from the Parish of St. Mat thew’s, which assembled July 4th. 1775. Among his co-delegates is to be found the very distinguished name of George Wal ton. In that Congress were such men as the Hahershums. Bryants, Telfairs, Mous tons. CJavs. Cuthh’erts and Mclntoshs. Afterwards, m 1777. he was selected from among such men to lie the Governor of the State, and from the necessities of the situation, ii was necessary to confer upon him arbi trary power. When lie was elected Gov ernor. his Executive council embraced such men as John Houston, Win. Few, Arthur Fort, and John Jones. During his administration, there was a controversy with the neighboring province ol South Carolina, in which he bore himself with distinguished valor and wisdom. South Carolina attempted the absorption of Georgia by making both one province. The citizens ol Georgia had become in fected by her emisasries, and the occasion called for great firmness, courage and energy. Governor Treutlen was equal to the emergency. Had the movement suc ceeded. there would have been twelve in stead of tiurteen colonies, and the present empire State of the bouth might have hat* no existence, but the term oi office was for only one year, without re-elec tion. It 'was only the second year of the revolution Governor Treutlen retired from office, and this is the last history has to soy of him. The war lasted five more years. Great events oi a political nature immediately followed its close, and yet neither during these in teresting and exciting times, nor since, in there anything recorded of Gov. Treutlen. He Wio a true patriot, and a fearless man, and could not have remained idle. He could not have done so, had he so chosen, for the country had need for the sfgy;'. es of all !>“;• ""tTuViic sons. The only YCA : sonable solution is. that he must nave died soon after retiring trOm office. In support of this the tradition, coming down to his descendants, ami of which there can be no doubt, is, that on a visit to Orange burgh district, S. C.. where he had near relatives, he was followed by brutal to nes, and murdered in the most horrible manner. He was tied to a tree and hacked to pieces w ith swords, in the pres ence of his family. Ilis body, or w hat re mained of it, was buried, either by the tories, or his own people, at some place, where either from not knowing at first, or from being forgotten amid the troubles of the iiines. was placed where no one now- living knows. Gover nor Treutlen having in this sad way de parted from the scene of public action, and it being so long until the independ ence of the State was achieved, and hav ing no son. or other descendant in the State in public life.he was forgotten. If not forgotten, certainly neglected, for Georgia to this day owes him the debt of some appropriate recognition. It is never too late to do right, and the State should, on the first opportunity, take some action which w ill perpetuate the name of her nmt Governor. It was no little distinction to have been such, lor to our Governors on the original organization of the State, during the revolution, all our Governors since owe their official position and repu tation. In view of Gov. Treutlen's celebrity, his whole personal history becomes inter esting, and this, sad to say, is involved in more doubt than his career immediately following the expiration of his term of office. While the name has a German sound, yet it is also tradition among his dtscenUipus that he vyas a native of England, and had been a soldier or officer connected with the British army. If this is true, he may have come directly to Georgia, as other English emigrants. But whether he i English, or German, the greater probability is, he came first to the province of South Carolina. He or his ancestor may have been among tiie German settlers of that State. From the earliest know ledge ot him, he had near relatives in Orangeburgh, where some of his descendants yet reside. In the neigh borhood of Sisters’ Ferry, where Gov. Treutlen resided, were many settlers from South Carolina, who were attracted there by the abundance of wood and titfcboi on that oiiio oi the savannah river, with a market at Savannah. This w°g before the days ot cotton. The Carolina side had been longer settled, and there weye few, or no high bluffs, while there were many on the Georgia side. Either theory is more probable than that he was a £alz burgher. There is no appearance of the Salzburgher in any of his descendants 1 have seen," and I have seen many. The Salzburghers have well-defined features, accent and characteristics not to be mistaken by those familiar with them, even to this day. Substantially, there is nothing in Stevens' historv of Georgia or White’s historical collections except what I have stated, lion. Charles C. Jones, of Au gusta, is engaged in rewriting the history of our State. 1 Jearn from him that he has no additional facts touching Gov. Treutlen. It Is essential that all reliable information of him should be sent Col. Jones lie lore his book or volumes go to press, for there may never lie another opportunity to do Gov. Treutlen justice. What makes the pau city of his history yet stranger is that there is no old Georgian whose descend- ants are better defined, and, more than that, they are quite numerous. I shall mention "several who bear the relation of great-grand child (or yet farther removed) to John Adam TreEtlen. There are Col. John F. Treutlen, who was recently of Columbia, 8. C.; Dr. Walter s>, Dudley, lately President of the Agricul tural and Military College at Milledge ville: Mrs, Maria A, Provost and Dr. Her vev Cleckley and wife, of Alabama; Mrs. E. C, Corbet, of Macon, Ga.; Mrs. Judge Mallette, of Effingham county, Ga.: the Wilkins brothers, of Burke and Jefferson counties, Ga.; the sons and daughters of Albert G. Porter, of Effingham, who was, during the late war, taken prisoner by Sherman and sent to Point Lookout, Maryland, where the poor fellow died from the effects of prison life. AVhether or not his grave, since the .war, has been by his family identified, I do not kuow, An interesting fact to /e is, that when I was only ten years of age, the Colonel William J. "Dudley), and the Major t Christian Treutlen i of an Effingham mi litia regiment were both the grandsons of Governor Treutlen. This suggests that the Governor mav have been past the mo ridian of Hie in 1i75. Capt. Frederic Te, lioau, of Savannah, long since deceased, was irr some way related to Governor Treutlen, and, of course, his descendants are likewise. There are others I cannot recall, and 1 have no doubt there are tna(iy I have never beard of. Are there not among some of these many descend ants, facts they can furnish Col. Jones? Richard H. Clark.
