B. H. HILL.
Mr. Editor:— My only apology for
this communication may be found in
the fact, that a disease known as the
cacotth.es serbendi is uow very preva
lent in the Southern p rtion of the
United Stales,particularly in Georgia and
South Carolina. The first case of note in
the latter State was that Union per »«,
_£x- Governor —but now Anti liecon
structionist, Military Bill jquasher, B.
F. Perry. As the prints now a days
make no mention of the aforesaid
Union per se, I am led to believe that
Tie htu fallen a fell victim to said dis
ease. Bequiescat in pace. The next
case of importance turns np in Georgia.
B. H. Hill, anti-secessionist, member
of the late Confederate Congress, polit
ical theologian, particularly on the
doctrine of obstinacy, to Jeff. Davis—
now the most rampant anti-reconstruc
tionist in the South. When a member
of the Georgia Secession Convention,
the aforesaid Ben raved and ramped,
fought secession to the bitter end; but
when overpowered by numbers, be gave
in at the eleventh hour and received
lull wages—a place in the Confed.
Congress- A change soon came over
the spirit of his dreams—the pomp and
panoply of power turned his brain, and
from a bitter anti-secessionist be became
the confidential adviser, chief cook and
bottle washer of the Davis despotism.
Under his influence the obstinacy of the
Confed. President was rendered doubly
obstinate, and the propitious hour for a
satisfactory settlement and a restoration
of peace was for ever lost. The above
named disease has now fastened itself
firmly upon the heart and vitals of poor
Ben. What the result will be, any one
can see. Ob, what a big book he will
have after awhile for the Constitution,
alist to publish in pamphlet form ! and
what a pamphlet it will be 1 Ben hns
not seen the beginning of the end yet.
I believe his last in the Chronicle was
numbered 2,653,784,999. From present
appearances it seems that that number
will be quadrupled. Stenography mast
be summoned to his aid, and the
Chronicle be quadrupled in size, with
eight or ten extras to each number, or
I fear it will be a long time belore we
see the end. But in the course of things
the end innst conie ; and then what?
Why Ben must hunt up a title for his
book, and, as I suppose, he will be very
much reduced by his labors, I thought
I would just simply suggest to him a
title for his great book.
I have studied this matter much for
the benefit of Ben, and I will now give
the history and result of my investi
gations :
A learned Jesuit once had this same
disease. He commenced to write a
book, and he wrote and he wrote, but
the end came in the course of years.
But he had never thought of the title
with v.-hich to dnb his new born. Well,
he reviewed his book in search lor a
title, but no title loomed up before his
bewildered brain. He had canvassed
every possible subject, in every possible
phase—the last subject had no relevancy
to the first upon which he commenced.
For days and nights he labored to get
that title. Sometimes it was near his
grasp, and as he reached forth for it it
vanished. The fate of Tantalus came
across his addled brain—when, in a fit
of desperation, he seized his pen and
scratched down this memorable title—
“Be omnibus rebus el qiabusdam oliis
The English of which is simply this:
A 1 realise oh every possible subject,
and some others besides .” I presume
General Taylor had just picked up tbe
Jesuit’s book and read the title when he
sent a message to Congress informing
them “we are at peace with all the
world and the rest of mankind.” The
two form a duet of bulls never excelled
r>y any denizen of the Emerald Isle.
Conclusion—An appropriate title for
Hen’s mighty book will be—^“ Be omni
i us rebus el quilrusdum n/»tV*

—lu Texas, a few days ago, an old
i idy named Aloicalf attempted to walk
» a neighbor’s, but took the wrong
tad, and while approaching the house
f a man named Simms, for the purpose
f resting, was attacked by a pack of
tvage dogs, which bit her iu several
. ices, tore one arm from her body, and
arly eut up her breast and neck,

The Mormon Perer.
Whether the visit to Europe of Brig
ham Young, junior, and a brother
“saint" or two, has any effect in a
propagandist sense, we cannot say, but
there certainly is a revival of llormou
emigration. A steamer suited from
Liverpool only a fortnight since, with
four hundred Mormon converts on
board, bound to Salt Lake City.
“ There w.w about an equal proportion
of men and women among them,'' says
a British paper, “ the principal part of
whom were yonng, perhaps ranging
from eighteen to twenty eight years of
ago. A small minority was made up of
persons who must have reached between
thirty and fifty years. The forward part
of the ship was devoted to their exclu
sive use, and according to contract with
the company, no persons were permitted
in that part of the vessel, or to associate
with the Mormon proselytes. The
emigrants belonged to Wales, the west
ern counties of England, and some
came from Scotland, but there was not
a. single Irishman or Irish woman
among them." This last fact, by the
wav, is a curious one, yet not surprising
to those acquainted with the Irish char
acter. The most gallant of men, they
are at the same time also the most
constant; and the women of no country
probably more chaste than those of poor
old Ireland. No wonder that Mormon
ism has no hold upon them. Moreover,
in matters of doctrine, the Irishman is
salely anchored upon the rock of the
Church, unassailable by the follies of
your John Smiths and Brigham Youngs.
Excitable in other things, the Irishman
is very calm and sober in matters of
religion.
The Pi ice of Printing Paper.
The Talbotton (Ga.) Gazette asks
some queries that we cannot answer,
because we are in the same quandary.
However, we will publish its remarks,
hoping somebody who understands the
matter will solve the problem. The
Gazette wishes to know “ how it is that
we now have to pay seventeen cents per
pound for common printing paper, and
are allowed but three and a half cents
per pound for rags ; while, before the
war, we bought a better article of paper
for twelve cents per pound and received
four cents for rugs ? Newspapers are
proverbial for defending and protecting
everybody’s interest but their own, and
it is high time they should pay some
attention to the enormous tax to which
they are subjected, without any appar
ent good reason, by the paper manufac
turers of this country. Why paper
should increase fifty- per cent, in price,
while the material of which it is made
decreases twelve per cent., is a problem
we can t consistently reconcile with our
notions of just dealing. The demands
of the paper men in the North have
become so onerous, that many large
priutingestablishments in New York im
port their paper from Europe, and after
paying the high duty, it costs much less
than it can be bought for at home.”
Results of Reconstruction.
' In perusing the following article from
the Richmond Whig, our readers will
substitute “Georgia” for “Virginia,”
when they will have the “ situation ”
exactly as it now stands:
Capital sind enterprise are daily be
coming more impressed with the abso
lute necessity for an early settlement on
a permanent basis (no matter what that
basis may be) of our political affairs in
tbe South. Uncertainty paralyses all
business, and cripples adventure. Men
who have cnpital will not embark in
new undertakings that are liable at any
moment to be arrested. Industry will
not exert itself in those active and far
reaching enterprises which depend upon
the future for success and for profitable
return. At such periods as the present
most persons are content to employ just
so much capital and so much labor as
will satisfy present needs. They will
not risk their capital needlessly, and
are averse to the expenditure of exer
tion that holds out no reasonable hope
of remuneration.
If our affairs could soon bo settled on
some permanent and established basis
there would be much to encourage us
all in the matter of material prosperity.
It is manifest to all observing minds
that the rigorous necessities to which we
have all been subjected, in the last few
years, have produced a quickening of
all our energies and faculties. All
classes of our population have expe
rienced this vitalizing influence. Sir
John Herschell somewhere speaks of
the “conservative influence of earth
quakes.” Our earthquake has devel
oped some such result. Not only has
the prejudice against labor been
conquered, but there is among all
classes a disposition, a desire, a painful
longing after work, after something to
do, no matter how humble, so that it
will yield the means of livelihood-
There has also, in all quarters of the
State, been a general awakening as to
tbe vastness and value of the resources
of Virginia, nnd the importance, nay.
absolute necessity, of turning them to
account. The long standing Virginia
torpor has been broken, and our whole
population is instinct with life, vigor,
activity. We are prepared to undertake
everything and anything that will yield
remuneration. Men whose early lives
have been spent in opulence and
luxury, ladies who only had to wish in
order to be supplied with what they
wished for, and who were as fair and as
free from toil as the lilies of the field,
young people who had been taught to
regard tlte future as promising exemp
tiou trout work and endless indulgence
in festivity and refitted enjoyments, are
now, not only willing but anxious to
work at humble employments.
We are encouraged to believe
work is last becoming the point of
honor with our people. Adversity has
educated us, poverty has taught lessons
that two centuries of prosperity failed to
teach—respect lor labor and an intense
anxiety to engage iu it. Ail that we
uow want to enable us to employ profit
ably the talents which we so long hid is
reconstruction on a basis that will favor
all classea in Virginia—the whites and
the blacks, original Union men aud ex-
ConfederatcS. If we are wise enough
to throw aside prejudices, to sacrifice
false pride, to profit by the lessons of
the war, and to accept and act upon
the dominant and irresistible ideas of
the present epoch, we can assist in
bringing about that mode of reconatrnc
t ou. When that is consummated the
shackles which will he removed from
industry and enterprise, cnpital will
flow in, seeking iuvestment, and immi
gration will rush like a torrent iuto the
Stele. Oar landa will, month by month,
enhance in value.'.aud all our leading
interests will lie quickened by new
carrent* of vitality. Our great lines of
improvement will be grasped with a
vigor hitherto unknown, and pushed
rapidly to completion. Commerce will
lie restored to our now deserted waters,
and every city and village will bustle
with activity.
Such will be some of the results of
reconstruction. Is it not. then, worthy
of any effort or sacrifice that may be
necessary to secure It T
NEWS SUMMARY.
Cvriosities.—ln making excavations
for tbe foundations of anew hospital at
Cincinnati, a few days since, the work
men dug up a box marked 1839, and
containing a large quantity of counter
feit half eagles ami half dollars. A
little further on they came across five
skeletons, two of adults and the others
of children.
Result of Mkddmxg. A man
named Henry Burl, emplqyed in a
plumbing shop in New York, a few
days since, arranged a pistol in a box
iu such a manner that when the cover
was raised the weapon would be dis
charged. An apprentice in the shop
has since received a severe wound in
consequence ot it.
Three Fees for One Job.—Tn
Newark, N. J., ou Tuesday, a Justice
of the Peace granted a divorce to a
man and wife who called upon hint for
that purpose, and later iu the day
married the man to another woman,
and the woman to another man.
thus receiving three fees out of the
operation. It is said that ail parties
were satisfied.
Heavy Defalcation —lt is currently
rumored, says the Troy Whig, that Mr.
John F. Pullen, of the old firm ot
Pullen, Virgil & Cos., expressmen, has
proved to be a defaulter to the amount
of $130,000 to the National Express
Company. Capt. E. H. Virgil, ot Troy,
who is Superintendent of the National
Express Company, was the Chairman of
the Committee who discovered the defal
cation.
Attacked by an Owl.—At Ravenna,
Ohio, a day or two since, while a lady
was working in her tiower garden, near
her house, an owl suddenly darted down
and alighted on her head, inserting its
claws into her scalp, and causing the
blood to flow freely over her person.
The lady being badly frightened,
screamed, and her son running to her
assistance found her struggling to
detach the claws from her head, which
she finally succeeded in doing.
Narrow Escape of a Gymnast. —An
alarming accident occtfrred in the
Casino at Marseilles. Two American
gymnasts, brothers, named Howard,
were going through their performances,
hanging by their bands to a ladder fixed
horizontally near the ceiling, when one
of them made a spring with the inten
tion of clasping the other round the
body, hut missed his grasp and fell
from an immense height into the orches
tra. Although seriously bruised, none
of his bones were broken. .
Poisoned.—ln Charlestown, Mass,,
on the 13th instant, Mr. H. F. Turner’s
family, consisting of his wife, wife’s
brother, and a domestic, were poisoned,
jby eating bread made of some Missouri
.flour Which did aut-sowu to be gffod
/when the barrel was opeued. They
were taken with severe vomiting, but
medical aid gave them immediate relief.
It is thought that some poisonous veget
able grew up viti the wheat and wag
harvested with it. The flour will be
aualyzed.
A Sodden Presentiment.—The
Boston Traveller stales that a lady in
Reading. Mass., while conversing with
some callers, suddenly turned pale, and,
sinking into a chair, exclaimed, “Did
you hoar that gun? it affected me
strangelyand wept inconsolably.
Her visitors had heard no report, and
it afterward appeared that no gun had
been fired at that time on the place.
News came, however, that her brother,
residing a hundred miles away, was at
that very hour fatally shot by the acci
dental discharge of Ids fowling piece
while hunting in a grove near his house.
A Smart Wife—Angeline Judd, a
woman of thirty five years, at Chicago,
recently married an old man named
David Townsley, aged ninetv four years.
The old omn hail SIOO,OOO in Govern
ment bonds, and proposed to Angeline
if site would marry him, at his death
she should have his money. She con
sented. After the marriage, the woman
discovered that parties in Chicago who
had procured the license for them over
charged them. She called a policeman,
had them arrested, and made them
disgorge. This pleased the old man,
who told the people who called to pay
their respects to the “happy couple,”
that “they’d have to be pretty smart to
cheat my (his) wife.”
A Sad End.—ln Chicago recently a
man was discovered lying in a base
ment, and an investigation showed that
the deceased of late had been very
intemperate, drinking to excess, and
came to his death by concussion of the
brain, caused by accidentally falling
from a second floor window in his apart
ment, while in a Btate of intoxication.
The deceased was Dr. Robert P. Hunt,
who once stood at the head of the
medical profession at Louisville, Ky.
A few years ago he became the husband
of the “ Belle of Louisville,” Miss Sallie
Ward, alter she had obtained a divorce
from iier first husband, Mr. Lawrence,
of Boston, to whom she was married
while his father was United F.tates
Minister to the Court of St. James.
Both marriages were fashionable and
sensational affairs. From some cause
or other, Dr. Hunt recently became
addicted to strong drink, and fell from
his high position in tbe profession and
in society. In January last lie left his
wile and child at Louisville ami pro
ceeded to Chicago, where he has since
run a reckless course until arrested by
death.
