“ Watch over the preservation of the Union

“Give ’Em Hell-’
We occasionally receive notes from
friends and acquaintances, of which
the following is a fair specimen :
Mi;. Editok; Why don’t you give 'em
hell? Congress needs stirring up. Expose
the Democracy. Give Russell a dig. Ina
word, give ’em hell.
Now, the author of the above is an
enthusiastic Republican, and is one of
many. He gives his opponents fits
with bis tongue, when there arc no
Democrats present, and finds fault
with his own party for a lack of
wisdom, zeal or nerve, lie delights
to read sharp criticisms of the Demo.
cratiC party, when he can borrow a
copy of the Rej-i iilicAn. When he
happens to borrow a number that
does not come up to his standard, he
swears the “ d d paper has nothing
worth reading in it.” We never heard
of his electioneering at the polls, or
contributing for the benefit of the
party, or do anything else except
prowl and blow.
We must beg our correspondent to
understand, in response to his ques
tion, that we have not a supply of hell
sufficient on hand to answer his pur
poses. Besides, we do not know that
it would be wisdom to dispense it
just on his style at this time. As to
stirring Congress up to its duty, we
think we have done our duty in the
premises. That body has all the facts
before it —just as many as we have —
and if they assert ignorance, they fib,
just a little bit. The Democracy
appear to be pretty quiet, just now,
and we bad rather see them that way
than otherwise. As to Mr. Russell,
we have no complaints to make. He
has appointed his Democratic friends
to office—just what we would have
done, had we been in his place. “To
the victors belong the spoils.” In
addition he has discharged a lot of
scalawags who voted for him because
they knew he would be elected. For
that we are thankful.

utterly incapable of wisely advising
the people on political or any other
subject. Right on the heels of the
harmonious and encouraging Macon
Convention, when the people have
recovered from the dondly lethargy of
the past few years, and have made
the discovery that the editors and
politicians cannot injure or ruin them,
the Chronicle d SeMind comes for
ward and attempts to spread a wet
blanket on the hopes and interest of
the people. It endeavors to make the
former* believ? that our labor will be
demoralized next year, and advises
against making contracts with labor
ers. It says that no money can be
made with cotton at twenty :md
twenty-five cents. The experience of
our farmers this year is a sufficient
refutation of this assertion. It is to
be hoped that the planters will be
governed by their own experience and
observation since the war, rather than
by the doleful foreliodings of a dis
tempered editor. Who has made money
since the war by farming? Has it not
lieen the man that has kept his ears
closed to the frantic appeals of politi
cians, worked himself, and compelled
those around him to work also ? These
are the examples to follow, instead of
adopting the ruinous suggestions of a
wild, political partisan writer.
We are sure we are uot able to
foretell what political changes will
occur; but if all signs are not decep
tive, there will l be no disturbance of
the labor of the South, unless it is
contemplated by such characters as
control the Chronicle. <fc Asntinel.

Mr. ('. H. Browning publirbc* a
curious statement in the Hound Table,
asserting that Marshall N/tv’s real
name wa* Michael RoDOi.ru am) not
Michabl Nev. He was a Captain
under General Wayne, in the war
with the Indians, ami was known a*
the of the brave." Wash
ington struck him from the army list
for challenging his commanding G< n
ci-al. He then settled near Elktown,
M<l., but afterwards left his wife and
family, and won his first fame in the
armies of France. He was recognized
by Mr. Pinckney, then our Minister
to France, under his new name. Mr.
Browning asserts that Mrs. Rudolph
married again after her husband’s de
sertion, and settled in Brunswick, Ga.
Mr. B. calls on Count Ney to give to
the world all the facts.
The Washington(D. C.) H< publican
says of the report “ first put forth” by
the Macon Telegraph, that the opin
ions of Mrs. Habbibt Beecher Stowe,
on the subject of slavery, have under
gone a radical change since she took
up her residence iu Florida: “We
happen to know that there is no truth
in this story, but, on the contrary,
Mrs. Stowe entertains the same views
and opinions in regard to slavery that
she expressed in that masterly work,
‘ Uncle Tom’s Cabin.’ She employs
three colored servants in her family,
and her .views have not undergone
any change which militates in favor
of slavery. Tne story, therefore, is a
ridiculous canard.”
It is said that soon after the inau
guration of the late unpleasantness,
an office-seeker approached Mr. Lin
coln and confidently informed him
that he was the first man who nomi
nated him for the Presidency. The
President put on a terribly injured air
and said ; “ Well, just sec whataniess
you have got me into.” He received
no office.
The Athens Banner says that a
rum-seller in that town, being fined
SIOO for selling without license, was
allowed a day by the kind hearted
officer to look round and make up the
money. He has not’ been heard from
since, it is far better for the commu
nity of Athens, and ex cry other com
munity, that such common enemies of
society—keepers of low groggeries—
should abscond than to pay their fines
and continue their nefarious business.
The Chattahoochee Mirror says

A New State House.—The Legis
lature of South Carolina have been in
treaty with Mr. Wright, the present
lessee of Nickerson’s Hotel, in Col
umbia, S. C'., with a view to secure
that building for legislative purposes,
the Hall (Janney’s) which they have
been using giving indications of soon
tumbling down. The terms upon
which Mr. Wright agrees to surren.
der his lease have not as yet been ac
ceded to, but it is said that it is not
inuirobalilo the Ovncrai Assembly
will purchase the building at a cost of
about $30,000.
This building was originally con
structed by the ytethodista of rsoutti
Carolina as a Female College, but has
not been used for that puipose since
the war. It is quite commodious, and
admirably adapted in location and
other features for a State House.
Accident on the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad.—Last Saturday eve
ning, as the freight train coming from
the South was coming towards Savan
nah, when about a hundred and odd
miles from here, two of tile cars caught
fire. They were loaded with sea island
cotton, and were entirely destroyed.
It is supposed that sparks from the
locomotive fell through cracks in the
Cars, and set fire to the cotton. Be
tween fifty and sixty bales were de
stroyed.
Tne night express train, which left
here on Saturday’ night, ran oft’ the
track when within a short distance of
Jacksonville, about six o’clock on
Bunday morning. Several in the for
ward cars, and the engine and tender
were badly damaged. The express
car was next the locomotive, and was
wrecked. Mr. William
Bowdin, the express messenger, was in
the car, and was badly crushed about
the thighs and abdomen. He was re*
ported as in a critical condition. The
conductor of the train was slightly
injured. The passengers and the re
mainder of die employees escaped
without injury.
Mr. Bowdin was well known iu this
city. He belongs in Augusta, and was
on the road to Atlanta about a year;
he came here about two years ago,
and has been on the Gulf road ever
since. He was attentive to his duties,
and a very fine young man, generally
liked among those with whom he was
employed, who all sympathize deeply
with him in his trouble.
It is not known, or nut made public
here, as to how the accident occurred,
nor the full extent of the damage to
the train.— Setvannah Metre.

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 18fi8.
The past week has been a lively’
• me. even for the National Capital.
Hotels, boarding houses, and many
private house* are filled with stran
gers, who are here on business or
pleasure, ami occasionally both com
bined. Those whoso regular business
it is to cater for the public, are reap
ing a rich harvest, and consequently
are good natared and independent.
Landlords are as merciless as ever in
their charges, and landladies put on
airs, and extract an increased price
for their generally miserable accom
modations without a blush or apparent
ly a single twinge of conscience. The
“ rings” and lobbyists are, as was to be
expected, here in full force, indeed,
at no time within the memory of the
present generation has there been so
formidable an array of outside advisers
present in Washington as at this time.
Every circumstance seems to con
tribute to this result.
Mr. Johnson has but a few months
more of power, and his professed
friends are determined that he shall
use the time to the best advantage.
All the departments of government arc
being closely scanned to give place to
hungry Democrats. The removal of
clerks’from the Treasury Department
has been most numerous, and almost
invariably some out and out rebel or
rebel sympathizer has been appointed
to fill each vacancy as it occurred; so
that there has been no real reduction
in force as is pretended in official
quarters. The Congressional majority
too, having had their back-bones stiff
ened by the late election, it is surmised
will not hesitate to legislate upon any
proper subject calculated to make the
way pleasant for the incoming admin
istration. Thousands of persons have
been drawn here by this fact, both to
aid and defeat the different measures
agitated.
Holding a legislative position is not
the sinecure many have supposed.
During the last week members of
Congress liavc been besieged by their
constituents and others—the first
seeking place under the Government,
and the latter generally desiring to
explain some matter already, or likely
to come, before Congress. Members
arc buttonholed in season and out of
season; wherever they go they are
importuned for aid or influence. In
no place, public, or private, do they
seem to be exempt. To such an
extent is this evil carried that all
kinds of expedients are made use of
to evade the comorants. Some mem
bers have even gone so far as to take
up lodgings in Baltimore to secure a
little quiet; others take their meals at
one place and room at another, being
careful to keep the latter place a pro
found secret from all except a few
personal friends.
During the week business enough
has been introduced in Congress to
give employment to that body for the
next six months.
The movement to transfer Indian
affairs to the War Department, was
rushed through the House without re
ferring the subject to a committee.
The large majority’ voting for this
change, indicates clearly the hold
General Grant has upon Congress.
This measure took its opponents by
surprise, bnt they are prepared for
active opposition in the Senate. It is
not deemed possible to defeat the bill,
because endorsed by the President
elect. Moreover, employing army
officers will release a large number of
civil agprita employees, and it is
argued, with some show of reason,
that they cannot increase the expenses
of the Bureau; while on the other
hand there is a of a much
more economical administration of
affairs than now.
The affairs of the Southern States
occupy quite as much the attention
of Congress as ever before, your own
State of Georgia standing foremost on
the list demanding additional legisla
tion. Mr. Hill’s credential as Senator
elect were presented and supported by
Senator Sherman, in a luke-warm
speech, on Monday. Mr. Sumner im
mediately after introduced a bill send
ing Georgia back where she was at
the close of the war. The whole sub
j ect was referred to the J udlciary Com
mittee, because questions of law as
well as of fact are involved. To-day
some of the citizens of Georgia who
favor Mr. Sumner’s bill arc rather de
spondent, butlknowofno grounds for
their fears. The Republicans in Con
gress by this time understand the sit
uation in your State and they will take
no step backward. Mr. Hill will not
be admitted, but Mr. Sumner’s or
some other similar bill will be passed.
Governor Bullock and Mr. Blodgett,
and others of the Georgia delegation,
make their headquarters at Willard’s,
and are daily engaged in the special
business for which they came here.
There are also here delegations from
Virginia, .Mississippi, Texas and other
Southern States. The House has
already expressed itself in favor of
taking a vote on the Constitution in
Virginia in May next.
Collector Smythe of New York who
had his present position forced upon
him, has acquired such a love for office
that he is now here treking to be ap
pointed minister to Russia. It is thus
office holders grow upon what they
feed. If successful in obtaining the
nomination he cannot be confirmed.
The constitutionality of the Legal
Tender Act has been discussed liefore
the Supreme Court during the week,
and has attracted general attention.—
Undoubtedly, under the circumstances,
the Court will sustain the law, notwith
standing Mr. McCulloch’s unjust de
mand in his rejiort, to the contary.
Congress is disposed to take a long
Itoliday and will probably adjourn on
the 21 st instant over to the sth of
January, when they will reassemble
and devote the remaining portion of
the session to business, and exclude ■
buncombe speeches.
Caleb Cushing lei t for Euro|».‘ a few i

gone abroad to bargain for <’iib;i. and
also to put our minister at the Court

gat'd* the Alabama claims. Mr. John-1
son, as well as Secretary Sewanl, are 1
anxious to do something to draw pub- .
lie attention from their private tie
merits.
Nothing is known yet us to who i
General Grant will select to bold Cabi- J
net offices; but it is some satisfaction I
to know that not one of the present
Cabinet will lie retained. The tenure
of office act will be repealed so that
General Grant will be enabled to start
upon his administration with an en
tire new set of constitutional advisers.

BuKiid Alive.—A New Orleans
correspondent of the Cincinnati 2in
juirer gives the following particulars
of a most distressing affair: I have just
heard of the most heartrending, and
yet unavoidable affair, which it has
ever been my lot to record. It is
nothing more nor less than the fright
ful reality of being buried alive.
most estimable lady, Mrs. Crane,
whose husband is a bookkeeper in
Fleming & Co.’s drug store in this
city, died suddenly last July, of what
was pronounced sunstroke. She was
a school teacher in one of our most
popular schools. In the afternoon,
after school was out, she went to visit
a neigbor on Felicity street, and just
as she entered her friend’s house she
fell insensible and expired, to all ap
pearance, in about two minutes, the
doctor pronouncing it sunstroke. Her
body was interred the next day at ten
o’clock, and her mother, an old lady
about fifty years of age, and her hus
band and one little son, went home
almost broken-hearted, and have since
been nearly distracted, being at times
unable to sleep, and in fact leading a
most miserable and disconsolate life ;
and well they might, as the sequel
will show, had they known what they
had done.
Well, one night last week the mother
afther passing a most distressing day,
fell asleep late at night and dreamed
that her daughter had been buried
alive. She jumped up in a frantic
state and rushed to her son-in-law’s
chamber, crying, “My daughter is
buried alive! Oh, my daughter is
buried alive I What shall Ido ?” To
sleep any more that night was out of
the question; she still crying that her
daughter was buried alive, whenever
her son-in-law would try to quiet her.
At length the proposition was made to
have the body disinterred, the grave
was opened and the coffin raised. Oh,
what a horrible sight met their view !
Pen is powerless to portray the scene
which followed. The body which had
been placed in a metallic coffin was
turned over, the glass covering the
face was broken to atoms, the ends of
her fingers being beaten and battered
and tom to pieces ; her hair torn out
in handfuls, and the shroud torn in
many places —all presenting the ap
pearance of one of the most desperate
struggles to free herself from the ter
rible misfortune.
If any of our readers could have seen
the relatives of this unfortunate lady,
when this condition of what they sup
posed was the perpetual silent tomb
had been brought to light, it would
have forced a tear from the most stolid
and adamantine heart.
