The Wounded Soldier.
We learned, yesterday, that the U. S.
soldier so seriously wounded by Gus Kd
moudston, a few 'nights since, is improving,
and stands a very fair chance of getting
well.

Dead.
An old man named Ramsey, a native of
Virginia, died on Sunday, at the Poor
House, in this city, at the advanced age of
ninety eight years—almost a centenarian.
He was for a long time a resident of this
city, and was a carpenter by trade.
Shot ill the Leg,
Yesterday, about 12 m., a negro boy,
fourteen years of age, was hauled into towiq
having been shot by another negro, on Sat
urday night last, a lew miles from the city,
We could not learn further particulars, but
will await the examination under the warrant

Justice Phinizy.
t'olicc Arrears,
On Sunday our efficient Police were wide
awake, and found it necessary to make only
the following arrests:
Lew Lee, for stealing a hen.
Kandail Anderson and Owen Cox, for
indulging in the noble art of self-defence,
or a game of fisticuffs.

“Newspaper Errors.’*
We are truly sorry that our recent well
meant efforts to make the Chronicle a
reliable newspaper, has seriously disgruntled
our mutable neighbor and caused him to
lose his temper—something very unusual in
that quarter. But iuasmuch as he confesses
that ho has “been misled” into several
“errors” lately, we are inclined to be hopeful
for his amendment. Wo trust his late
experiences will servo .is a lesson for the
future, and, we hope, enable him to avoid
such awful blunders.
Wo must, however, whisper to our respect
able cotemporary that, ip his effort, Sunday
morning, to extricate himself from the inire
of (list “shooting affair in Burke County,”
he plunged himself in the slough of a worse
difficulty. In one sentence lie declares that
the sensation letter giving tho account of the
shooting “was signed by one of tho most
respected citizens of tho county”; and a
little further on, he says, “If the shooting
and cutting did not take place, then the letter
is a forgery, and the guilty party liable to
the penalty of the law, to which, if he can
be obtained, he will certainly be held amena
ble,” Some people (“Bohemians” of the
press) would say that this sounded very
much like a flat contradiction. And then, a
few lines farther on, this “most respected
citizen” of Burke, who “signed ’ the letter,
is called a "black hearted villian.”
We agree with the Chronic'c that tho
author of tho letter it published committed
“the three-fold crime ot libel, falsehood, aud
perjury—crimes which ought to consign him
to the penitentiary” ; and candor, noless than
the law of reasoning by analogy, compel us
to add that “Snooks” of the rcficable Chroni
cle, in publishing forged letters from General
Guam, is justly amenable to the same
penalty. *
IHssoliilion,
Messrs. Hall & Carr announce a dissolu
tion of partnership as Insurance Agents,
Mr. A. G. Hall continuing the business, at
the old stand, 221 Broad street.
Messrs. Barber, Carr A Cos., as will be
seen by reference to our advertising columns,
have formed a partnership for carrying on a
General Insurance business, and offer them
selves to the public in that capacity.
I>el»t* Olio for Mnvn.
There has been no alteration of the clause
in the Constitution of Georgia, recently
passed by Congress. Every debt for the
purchase or hire of slaves is wiped out
forever, and it, should be, together with every
debt predicated directly or indirectly upon
slaves as property. The Georgia Convention
failed to define this necessary point, which
it should have done, for the matter resolves
itself, iu our judgment, into a very plain,
logical conclusion, thus : Debts for the hire
or purchase of slaves are wiped out. All
the debts ever contracted in the Southern
States, of any magnitude, were based solely
upon the value of slaves. Therefore all
debts are wiped out.
If the Convention and Congress had
viewed the matter in this true light, there
would have been no wrangling or jarring.

BLENIYERUA3BKTT HOSK COMPANY.
II is honor, the Mayor, remarked that he had a
matter to bring to the attoution of Council. Two
members of Blennerhassett Hose Company liatl
brought to him letters from tho Secretary of
which the following is a copy :
Augusta, Ha., ?day M, 1365.
At a regular meeting of Llio Blennerhassett
Hose Company, held at their hail on tho 12th
inst., the following prenniblo and resolutions
were unanimously passed :
Whereas, some of out in l tubers, at the recent
election, voted that contemptihle ticket known as
the 4, Scnllnwag Ticket,” and now, of their own
choice, occupy a position hostile to Conservatism
the only acknowledged hope of this country—
tlierotorc be it resolved,
Ist. That the Secretary bo furnished a list of
tlioso names, and that lie be instructed to re
quest them to resign at once.
2d. That this Company is opposed to the in
troduction of ordinary politics at its meetings,
but the issues now involved arc most extraordi
nary. and the sonso of this meeting is; that men
whose aims and ends, and feelings, arc so dis
similar, cannot associate and work together har
moniously.
3d. That we would gladly win our fallen
brethren away from tho infamous party with
which they have allied themselves, and should
they recant their erronoous principles, it will bo
our great pleasure to welcome them bach to tho
fold of true Conservatism.
Your name appearing on tho above mentioned
list, yoj will ploaso send in your resignation,
uniform, and badge, before Saturday evening
lflth inst.
Very respectfully,
(Signed.) J. F. Patt KRdON,
[Copy from the minutoa.] .Secretary.
Tho Mayor suggested that this matter ho
brought to the attention of tho Chief Engineer.
Tho introduction of politics into our tire compa
nies was to bo deprecated by all good citizens,
and ho felt assured that, upon sober reflection,
those who had passed tho resolutions alluded to,
would bo to reconsider their taction. If the
member** notitiod to resign had been of thooppo
site party, he would entertain precisely similar
views—it was the principle ho objected to. Ifo
alluded, briefly, to the rumor that a threat had
been made to disband the company i; tho pro-'
scribed momlonj were forced to reajgu, charac
terizing tho same as false and unfoundod ; and
he hoped that a reference of the subject to the
Chief of the Department *ould be attended
with bene! cial results.
Mr. Levy offered the folMng Preamble and
Heiolalioot, which were adopted ;
Whkrkah, At a recent mating of the Bleo
nerbassett Hose Company, resolutions wore
adopted calling upon oertain members to send in
thoir resignations, uniforms, aid badges, for the
reason that they voted at the scent State election
as their judgmont approved jland, whereas, tho
said Hose Company,at the sainitneoting,identified
that organisation with ono t the existing po
litical parties, and declared tfcir unwillingness
to associate with, or work h'lnoniously with
the firemen thus proscribed; unless the latter
should recant their politica! principles ; and,
whereas, the City Council esniders such action
to be highly improper, caloshted to jeopardize
the efficiency of the DoparUcot, and that the
introduction of partisan feeing is inimical to
tho object for which fire compaiies are organized
and sustained—therefore,
Resolved, That this action of Blennerhassett
Hose Company be officially reported to the Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department, with tho re
quest that he will at once investigate tho matter*
and endeavor to havo the lamo amicably ad
justed, in order that harmony may be restored,
and thus prevent tho efficiency of tho Depart
ment being impaired.
lltsolved, That tho Chief Engineer bo re
quested to report tLo result o! his efforts in this
direction, at as early a day as practicable, to the
City Council.

Virginia.
Richmond, June 15—The case of John
11. Anderson, the Collector of the Fourth
District, and others, charged with conspiring
to defraud the Government, was concluded
before Judge Chase, to day, After the
argument, Judge Chase delivered a lengthy
charge. He said the parties are set forth as
engaging to get here for the purpose
of arranging a plan by which deal
ers shall he permitted to ship whis
key without paying llio tax. The
matter of the smallest importance in
what were the rates of payment for this
so called privilege of defrauding the gov
ernment, was, in the first instance, five
hundred dollar amounts, making SO,OOO a
year, and afterward raised to $22,000 to
the Collector, and subsequently to $.50,000.
The amount thus received was not to be
considered by tho jury.
It was important that the revenues of the
Government should be faithfully collected,
and no less important that no citizen accused
of misdemeanor shall bo convicted, except
upon sufficient evidence.
The case was submitted to the jury, who
found a verdict of guilty against John H.
Anderson, Collector; Robert W. Elsom, In
spector; Allred J. Gouldman, Assistant
Inspector and J. 11. Patterson, First Inspec
tor.
The Judge then pronounced sentence as
follows: Anderson, $5,00Q fine, and two
years in the penitentiary; Patterson, $5,000
fine, and two years in the penitentiary;
Elsotn, $5,000 fine, and two years in the
penitentiary ; Gouldman, $5,000 fine, and one
year in the penitentiary. The parlies were
earthed to Libby Prison, where they will
remain until it is determined what peniten
tiary they shall bo confined in,
Anderson is a nephew of Hon. John M.
Bolts. Anderson and Gouldman were both
formerly officers in the Virginia penitentiary.
