WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 2*, 187C.
THE POOH.
Or. FtowtllMi U making a rigorous and
mot/t oommsdable effort to interest our
eitiMoe in the poor of Columbus, many
of whom ere at the present time actually
suffering for food. Atlanta has organized
i|4 m eetabliahment that is do
ing an immsnee amount of good in sup*
plying the doeerving poor with whole-
aaaa provisions. Maoon and Baraonah
an doing tha aama thing, and we (eel
anro the good peopla of Oolambna, but
Bead to bar# this matter brought to their
Botioe to do for their own destitute what
they have ever so willingly dona for the
aaferiag of other cities. Onr City Physi-
oianhaa matured a plan aensibla and prac
tical which we will preaent in a few
tiji and aak for tha oo-operation of thoaa
who oen afford the muoh needed aid. Ha
haa aant to Boston and other eitiea for
information aa to tha aonp and cheap eat
ing houses, end has oolleoted a great deal
at moat valuable information, wbioh we
with oar apaoa would permit oar giving
to tho pnblie. In Boston, the city, by
appropriation of Cooneil, oarea for the
poor, and daring the winter months the
Captains af polios are tha anperintendents
of tho eating houses, into whioh the sta
tions am ooaverted. Daring tho month
of January lest 10,7111) familial got aid;
49,101 residents got meals and 1,254 non-
rasidenta, at a total oost of $1,823.73.
Of oourse tho figures sre aggregates, and
peopla depending wholly on tbia oharity
for support are oounted as one for every
day or meal. Still, it ia impossible to
estimate the amount of good acoom-
The bast kind of oharity is employment,
bnt the inability to employ is one reason,
indeed, tho reason of existing poverty.
Tho poor are willing to work, as a rule,
and precaution should bo taken to oare
at this time only for onr own destitute.
Thors is bnt little time to discuss the
propriety or advisability, or the money
oasential for this work. God knows them
are bnt few of us who, at this time, can
well afford to do maoh for others, but
there are enough ready, able, end we
believe willing, to appease the hunger
pangs of onr suffering women and chil
dren, and to save from oriuie those whoso
vary necessities fforoe thorn into Jt.
Oar obnrohes have been doiug good
work, and individual families to our
own knowledge have boon quietly caring
for tha needy whose wants were brought
to their kuowladgo. Still these means
are not adequate to tha raqniremnts, and
ws should have a recognized, organized
mauiolpal oharity. Precautions oan be
taken against imposition from abroad,and
tha sooner tbia thing is psrfeotad the bet
ter. We whom God blesses with enough
toast and warm olotbing should remem
ber tha poor who are always with us, and
do more for thorn oven if it tukes more
self denial.
Rxv. 11. N. Hutobissom, who at
rived in San Franeiseo on the 9th inst.
gnva tha Alta Califortkia an account of
a desperate fight and massuore in the
Protestant Reformed ahurab at Aoapul
oo, Mexico, on the 2Gth of January.
Mr. Hatohinaon had been preaohing
to tho oongregatiou, and was in the plaoe
on the night of the attaok bat did not
attend tho meeting on aecount of sick-
ness. The ohareh numbered about fifty
members. Tho Indians of tha Catholio
persuasion had been muoh exoited
against them, and made a rush into the
ehuroh, nt onoe oommeneeing an assault
with thsir knives. An American who
expostulated with them was killed.
His wife (a Maxiean woman) drew a pis
tol and shot down one of the Indians.
The fight was aontinuod in the oburch
until six of the Protestants were killed
and nina seriously wounded. Of the
Indians, three ware killed on the spot,
and it was reported that five of their
thirteen wounded bad also died. The
riot was quelled by the soldiers of the
garrison, who arrested fifty of tho as
sailants and carried them to prison.
THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
All the States have now elaetsd ffnited
States Senators in the place of those
whose terms will expire on the 4th of
March next, and we are enabled to give
(ho names nnd polities of ell the Senators,
as follows:
Republicahs.—Speneer of Alabama,
Clayton and Dorsey of Arkansas, Sargent
of California, Perry of Oohnaotiont, Con
over of Florida, Logan and Oglesby of
Illinois, Morton of Indiana, Wright and
Allison of Iowa, Harvey and Ingalls of
Kaus is, West of Louisiana, Morrill and
Hatnliu of Maine, Boutwell and Dawes
of Massachusetts, Perry of Michigan,
Windom of Minnesota, Aloorn and Bruee
of Mississippi, Hitohcock of Nebraska,

York, Sherman of Ohio, M-tehall of Ore
gon, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Anthony
and Burnside of Rhode Island, Robert
son and Patterson of Soath Carolina,
Morrill and Edmunds of Vermont, Hows

Norwood and Gordon of Georgia, Mc
Donald of Indiana, Stevenson and Mo-
Creary of Kentucky, Dennis and Whyte

Independents — Booth of Californio,
Christiancy of Michigan, MoMillan of
Minnesota, Paddock of Nebraska, Hamit
ton of Texas, Cameron of WiBOonsin,
Total, G.
Vacancy.—Louisiana—X.
There appears to bs a nominal Radical
majority of five votes, oven whan we add
all the Independents to the Democrats.
But it is really vary doubtful whether
the Administration oan eonnt on n major
ity for any party measure. On ail ques
tions involving military rule in tha South
it ia certain that n majority will be against
Gen. Grant. Messrs. Perry, of Connecti
cut, Edmunds, of Vermont, sad Alcorn, of
Mississippi, may be relied upon aa Re
publicans opposed to any despotism of
that kind, and we believe that all the In
dependents are pledged or known to be
opposed b it. As regards a third term
for Gan. Grant, a decided majority of the
new Senate will be found to be opposed
to it. We also indulge the hope that the
majority of tbia Senate will favor the re
peal of the Enforcement Aot. Of coarse,
no admission of Pinohback or recogni
tion of Kellogg is possible if the question
is postponed until after the 4th of March
The reaction in popular sentiment that
has come so nesr reversing the majority
in a Senate wbioh has now only eighteen
Democrats, is very remarkable. It is
making progress greater than was antici
pated towards the eompiete defeat of
political organization that for so many
years has found its bond of sllianoe and
ita strength in the perpetuation of the
prejndices and passions of the late unhap
py oivil war.

Tna civil authorities of Henry oounty,

Klux, named Barney Shackleford, George

a few miles of Abbeville. They were
oharged with having visited the house of

and foroibly taking him therefrom, car
ried him to tho woods, and, tying him
eoross a log, whipped him unmercifully.
Moaes says there were four in tho crowd,
bnt tha fourth man was unknown to him.
The negro whipped states that the cause
of this brutal outrage was that he had io-

DAIMXS FOR wet SUES.
A paper published in one of the neigh
boring towns of Georgia makes public
complaint that we have eomraenoed send
ing it the Weekly Enquiebb in exohange,
instead of the Daily as heretofore, and in
forms as that it does not want auohan ex
change. It wants us to send our Daily
paper, and pay $1.20 a year postage on '
in exohange for its Weekly—for that
the coat to us whioh its olaiiu would in
volve. Hus our Weekly contemporary eon-
eidered the great expense whioh
would have to inour by oontinuiug, under
the new Postage law, suoh an exohange
it demands? If we send it the Daily in ex
change for its Weekly, we must pursue
the same coarse towards forty or fifty
other Weekly papers in Georgia and Ala
bama, and the expense incurred for
many would be a considerable item to us.
Let us see: Three hundred and ten sheets
to each of fifty Weekly exehangss would
cost us $3.X0 each for white paper and
mailing alone; add $1.20 each
for postage, and we have
a total of $4.30 for each Weakly exchange
on onr list, or $215 for the whole
them—an item worth saving, or consider
ably reducing, in times like these. W#
do propose to reduce it and aa the plan
whioh we have adopted is unsatisfactory,
we will try another. We will subscribe for
suoh Weekly papers as we want, sod psy
the postage on them, aud they can in turn
subscribe for tbe Enquirer or not ss they
may prefer. By this plau, the paper
whioh we refer above will oost ns $2.20
year, instead of $4.30. We hope that our
complaining friend will now understand
that our discontinuance of the Daily En
quirer as an exohange for its Weekly was
not in consequence of any laok of appre
ciation of it, but solely on acoount of tbe
great expense which we would have te in
cur, under the new Postage law, in eon
tinuing the old exohange.
When that taw took effect, ws thought
that the Weekly press, desiring an ex
change with the Daily, would have seen
at onoe tbe great tax which the require
ment of pre-payment of pottage at the
office of publication would impose upon
the Dailies, and would have proposed
pay the postage on tbe latter. But
rocoived no such propositions, and had
therefore to send Weekly for Weekly,
wbioh we saved at the rate of $1 per year
in postage on each exohange, to say
notbiug of the saviug of 250 sheets
year and the printing end mailing
them.
We desire to exchange with tbe Weekly
press, and will tuke as many as we can
afford by subscription and payment
postage. But we cannot afford, in addi
tion to tbe inequality of exchanging
sheets a week for one, pay $1.20 per
year in tbe way of postage on each Week
ly exohange. We hope that tha other
plan whioh we have concluded to adopt
will be aatisfaetory.

Buoous Co., Ga., Feb. 15, 1875.
Col. E. y. Clarke, Atlanta, On.:
Dzab Colonel—I see from a Sacra-
mento, Cal., paper, an ao-'ount of a
story concerning the purported robbery
‘ the confederate treasury and I give
near a correot account of all the faots
connected with gold and silver so maoh
talked about, as my memory will permit,
belonged to Gen. Vaughn’s brigade
well yourself, and will add here, that
oommand did harder servioe during
tbe war after your regiment joined than
that brigade.
When Uen. Lee surrendered, Vaughn’s
commend composed of the 1st, fid, 31st
43d, 56th, (0th and 80th j Tennessee; regi
ments, all from Best Tennessee ; 12th
and 16th East Tennessee battal
ions, and your command, the 13th Geor-
{ia regiment |oavalry, originally a battal-
on of partisan rangers serving its first
campaign under the famous John Mor
gan. This command was watching the
enemy between Knoxville, Tennessee,
and western Virginia, and at the date of
Gen. Lee’s surrender was at Central de
pot on tbe Virginia railroad, near New
river, with other oommsnds under Gen.
Eobois, The whole oommand moved to
,:>in Gen. Joseph E. Johnston in North
'Carolina; before reaching that gallant
old chieftain we received tha news of
his falling back. Oar commands then
moved for Charlotte, N. 0., including
Geo. Duke's or Morgen’s command, anil
also some Virginia troops, bnt on onr
arrival near Charlotte we found nearly
all the Virginia troops bad left and re
turned home. Col. Giltner's Kentucky
end Virginia command had left (except
a few men) on receiving the news of
Gen. Lee's surrender. Gen. Crosby’s
smell force belonged to the Eohole oom
mand, and waa along. At Charlotte we
oil formed a junction with.

to return after a while and get up their
hidden boxes and oaoka in branch and

the box of gold and soma silver was found
and divided. Oapt. Johnson’s friends
were not oonsultad nor interested. Hill a

when ell were placed under the oommsad
of General Breokinridge, a true statesman
and hero, who was decretory of War of
the Confederate States.
When tho whole force moved in the di
rection of Geurgiu, the specio train was
under the immediate charge of tho Ken
tucky troops. On the arrival of the gal
lout little remnant of Confederates on the
gouth bank of the Savannah river, our
soouts and pickets reported tho Fedoral
army la force in our front, and the pros
pect that a further advance and resiatance
would cause a useless sacrifice of life of
those who bad stood to tbe last. I failed
to mention that General Dibroll's Middle
Tennessee brigade was guarding and es
corting President Davis and the govern:
ment money, property nnd valuables of
tbe Confederate government when we
met them at Charlotte, N. C.
After going into camp near the Sevan
nab river all the South Caro:.: — 1 North
Carolina troops, with few exceptions, left
for their homes, and further resistance was
oonaidered hopeless, and our greet leader
despaired. No purer or better man than
President Davis lives. He has less faults
and moro of that nobleChriatian fortitude
and forbearance than any man I knew, and
he will livo in the hearts of a large major
ity of tbe boys in yray when all others
are forgotten; and to-day tbe South
should send suoh men as Davis, Breckin
ridge, Reagan, Lawton, Johnston and
others do represent them in tbe United
States Congress, in preference to somo
that are being sent.
When the President, his Cabinet, and
general officers, then in eonsnltution near
the Savanuah river, agreed to
DIVIDE OUT THR MONEY

willing to follow Davis—their great lead

All the officers and troops present re-
oeivod 28.25 each, in gold and silver. The
Virginia bank funds were turned over
aud were all tbe time in oharge of their
own bank offioers. They were cairiod to
Washington, Wilkes county, some fifteen
or twenty uiilos, by tbeir officers and there
deposited for safe keeping; I would gnoss
something over four hundred thousand
dollars.
President Davis and his Cabinet then
struck out for ports unknown. General
Vaughn being our Benior commander, re.
ceived orders from tbe proper officer tc
make the best terras of surrender that he
oould with Gen. Upton, then in command
of the United States forces, with head-
? iuarters at Augusta. Au officer waa sent
rotn Augusta to Washington, Georgia,
(Vaughn's oommand had moved to the
neighborhood of Washington), paroles
were made out, etc., bnt the terms de
manded wero harder and more severe
than those of General Leo or Johnson
snd Gen. Vaughn refused them, and loft
his command and wrnt in person to sco
General Upton, iu Augusta, aud from
there to a conference with Gen. Wilson,
iu Maaoo, and had more liberal terms
granted, and on the 17th day of May,
1865, the whole command surrendered.
Gen. Duke and most of the Kentucky
fores* hid left before tbe surrender. Gen
Dibreli prooeeded to Tennessee with his
oommand. The Goorgia boys wont borne
unmolested ; bat not so with the Tenues
see boys. Their homes and property '
East Tennessee had been destroyed to
great degree ; all thoir stock and other
property were gone. Many who had
goue iu advance had been murdered
whipped or driven away by tbeir enemies,
and hundreds of them to-day are strangers
to East Tennessee, never having returned
while others returned to be robbed by
law suits and in every oonceivabie way.
But, thank God, a better day has come,
and in East Tennessee ail stand on
equal footing. Many of them found
good friends in the neighborhood of the
Savannah river and around Danburg, Ga.
whose honsos were thrown open by such
families (God bless them!) ss tbe Barks
dales, Shenaults, Wilslis, Jones, and all
of tho entire neighborhood on both sides
the river, among them tho noblo families
of Littomores, aud others, in and around
Lowndsville, 8. C., aud the exiled East
Tennessee boys found homes and nil the
oomforts of life free os water, and some
of them even found something better
the best of Georgia and and bouth Caro
tins wives, snd they do to this day live

aud I am glad to know make good oitizens
there or where ever they have gone.

balance all privates, and a braver set of
soldiers never fought. I have teen them
face Yankee lead and shot when others
quailed.
Now let me return to the more inter-
es’ing part of the story. The three youug
men, then single men (all siuoe married),
with the additional friend oarried their
money some one hundred miles off. They
sat down to divide it unmolested in the
woods. Captain Johnson (we will call hiiu)
told private Hill to divide it. Private
Hill said, “No, Captain Johnson, you and
your brother bore the brunt of the battle,
while I did the same, bnt my brother has
only helped ns carry tbe spoilt to this
place.” So Captain Johnson divided
thirty-nine thousand dollars in three piles
nnd gave his brother one, and told private
Hill and his brother to take only one-third.
So they did so, after a little grumbling
that the division woe not as HU1 thought
it should be. His brother hod helped
pack it up into the mountains and take
care of it.
The gold was all (but one thousand to
each two) surrendered to their parents
aud hid away. The boys started West to
hunt homes and locate, leeving ell else
