What a Russian Private Carries. A letter from Giurgeo to the London Timet says: “Tbe Russian private in e marching regiment oarries no lees than seventy-two pouudB, English. In his own oonntry he reoeived daily three pounds of bread and aeven and a half oopeoks for all else, but in Ronmania his oopeoks would not buy him the meat that be wanted, so the Gov ernment gave him half a ponnd of meat and two and a half oopeoks, instead of the full money he reoeived before. He baa also served out to him a small ration of spirits to connteraot tbe deadly damps of the river. His great coat ia long and heavy; he oarries it in the shape of a horse eollar aronnd his left shoulder. Round tbe ooat ia wrapped one man’s share of the tent,a square piece of oanvass famish ed with eyelet-holes and a string. Four of anch pieces are bonnd together, snd form a sort ot rough Gypsy tent, tbe endB of whioh ere oarried by two other men; tbe seventh carries the atioks whioh form upright end ridge poles. Thus seven men carry the tent under which they can sleep; bnt it is smell, hot end stuffy by day, while s heavy ahower of rain pene trates easily throngh the eyelet-holes, tbe ill-oloaed apertures, end even throngh the oanvsaa itself. Probably the protection is not worth the extra weight to be car ried. Tbe Blabeat Silver Mine* In (he World. Philadelphia Ledger.! Specimens of silver oro from the Gerro de Pasco silver mines, in Peru, show that tbe submerged portion of tbe mountain is very rich, and a rough esti mate shows that a body of ore will be exposed, by the new tnnnel which Henry Meigs is to bnild, worth from $300,000,- 000 to $500,000,000. These mines have laid nnder water for fifty years, and are sceroely known to the present generation, though they have been worked for 250‘ years, when tbe miners bad to stop on account of tbe water. Pern has now dis covered that a tnnnel can he built which will drain the monntain completely, by draining off the lake from which the water in tbe mine comes, aod she is so mnoh in earnest about it that tho first loads of tbe now submerged oro are expected to reaoh Lima in four months. It is pre dicted that, within ton years, more silver will be taken out than from the silver mines in Nevada. A Man’s Head Pulled Off.—Yester day a gentleman named Witbnr, just ar rived from Frio oonnty, reported in the offioe of Messrs.

Near tbe body was found a horse, with a raw bide lariat fastened to the saddle, the other end of the iariat being attaohed to tbe horns of a steer. ThU larist for adio- tanoe of three or fonr feet, was freshly atoined with blood, and the supposition wee that in lassoing a ateer the lariat had accidentally beoome twisied or wound aronnd the men’s neok, end that after be had oenght tbe steer in the rope he bed been dragged sbont by tbe horse end eteer until his head had been rampletely torn from tbe body.

P. Hill's mill, in the oity on Friday evening last. He was in the act of mounting his male, hav ing plaoed hia right hand npon the saddle, when he gave way to an inclination to sneeze. The violent movement and the position of the arm oansed the shonlder to be thrown badly ont of plaoe. —Tnakegee Nem: Ho far as we aao ascertain, there has, es yet, been no dam age done to ootton in Ibis oonnty by the oaterpillars.

Ontside of the prairies we have not heard of any other caterpillars in the oonnty. —Mr. Hayes is now considering appli cations for amnesty to parties in Alabama and other States, agaiDBt whom prosecu tions have been inatitnted for violation of the internai revenne laws. Tbe snbjeot has been referred to the Attorney General and tbe Oommiesioner of Internal Revs, nue for their views, and the report of the latter offloer has already been made. Mr. Ranm, the commissioner, says that no precedent should be establiebed in one case or dietriot which will not admit of general application to the nnmetons eaees of applioatton for amnesty in different Statee, bnt he is favorable generally to extending emneety in oases where the par. ties concerned in illioit distilling come forward and surrender Iheir stills. Gen. Forney, of Alabama, wbo is in Washington nrging amnesty, wishes this principle to be extended from persons who are able to Bhow that they have no stills now in their possession, and who engage henoefortb to avoid these offenses. The beiief is that the Government ia disposed to oonsidor the applications for amnesty favorably, bnt the difflonlty ia that the United States Dietriot Attorneys and Marshals have an interest in keeping alive these prosean- tions, and renewing them npon insuffi cient reasons. —Tnakegee Newt; Tuskegee has been honored by the presence of several distin guished gentlemen during the last week. Ge serai John B. Gordon, Georgia’s dis tinguished Senator, Ool. Tanl Bradford, ex-member of Congress from this district, Governor William H. Smith, Judge Wil liam M. Brooks, President of the State Seeession Convention of 1861, and Ool. ./obnston, of Selma, late chairman of the State Demooratio Executive Committee. They were in attendance before Ohanoel- lor Graham to argue a canao transferred by agreement from the Ohanoery Court of Cleburne oonnty to tbe Chancellor in vaoation at this plaoe. The bill waa filed by John B. Gordon, W. S. Gordon and Ben Halliday, against Itiobsrd J. Wood and others, olaimiug nnder him to enforoe tbe speoifio performance of a oontraot for the pnrebase by complainants of said Wood of a valuable copper mine in the county of Clebnrne. The complainants show that a contraot in writing whs made by them with tbe defendant Wood, by whioh they undertook to take up oortaiD mortgages on the land on whioh the oop- per mine is situated, to pay ten thousand dollars in oash and to make titles to lands in Kansas, all to tho amount of $100,000 the estimated value of the mine. The oomplainants aliegi that they did do all that they were bound to do by said oon traot, or were exonsed (herefrom by the acts of tbe defendant Wood nnd did ten der a deed to tbe Kansas lands at tho time agreed on by the parties, bnt that the defendant Wood refused to oonvey tho lands on whioh the mine is situated as he had bonnd himself by oontraot to do. Tbe defendant shows and insists that the oompiaioants have not performed their oontraot in the paying off of tbe mort gages or in the payment of tbe money or in the making of each deed or for snah land as the oontraot requires and has not tendered to him a deed to tho lands on whioh the mine is situated, for execution and on other grounds seek to avoid the oontraot.

A RAD OUTLOOK FOR THE GODB AT THE THE ATRE. From the Wllmlogton Star.) A gentleman of this oity has taken the tronbie to obtain all the information pos sible io regard to the condition of the growing orops in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, together with other faots of interests in tbe trade. In reference to the orops in Virginia, it has been ascer tained from reliable sources that there has been ebont twenty-two per oent. decrease in the area of land planted in peanuts ns oompared with 1876. The weather has been mnoh less favorable than in 1876, or than tbe average for many yoara. Tbo stands are very poor and ohoked with grass, owing to continued wet weather. The orop 1s sbont. twenty-five days later than laat year. Tbe labor in number and efficiency is abont tho same ns last year. The use of fertilizers, aa oompared with 1876, shows a doorcase of about forty per oent. Tbe present condition of tbe crop is stated as very grsssy, weakly and back ward. Tho decrease in acrengo and use of fertilizers is attributed to the general disgust with the very low priaes obtained for last year's orop. Tbo stook in Norfolk, whioh is tbe reeognlzed distributing point for Virginia peanuts, is stated at 8,000 bagi. Demand stroDg. Information in regard to the orop in Tennessee is obtained from Messrs. Mil ieu, Brown A Oo., ootton factors and commission merohants, Cincinnati, Ohio. They say it is too early to speak with any oertaioty of the ooming Tennessee peannt orop, bnt with tho best information they oan obtain thoy are led to believe that the aoreage will be 26 to 60 per oent. less than laat year, and tbe orop ten or fifteen days later. Tbe condition at present is fair. The stook in Oinoinnati is as fol lows : White (light) say 4,000 to 5,000 bags; red (large) say 83,000 to 36,000 bags. Demand good and market steady. From tbe best information in referenoe to tbe orop in onr own State, it is safe to aay that tbe averages will be from 30 to 86 per oent. less than last year; stand very bad ; condition at present fair. Tbe stock in Wilmington oomprises 12,000 bags. Demand good. NotTbaat Way.

Nobody Ever Killed ry Lightning in Laboe Cities.—A Now York paper says : In no reoord that has yet been published for many years past, while thunder clouds have hung over this oity and disoharged tbeir artillery at ns, has a single death on- onrred here from atmoapherio eleelrioity, while its fatal effects have been visiblo in all directions beyond onr oily limits. In a conversation with a noted electrician, a few years sinoe, we drew his attention to that fact, and suggested that what with tbe iron, gaa and water pipes in every building, whioh oondnoted lightning info the very ground deeper than even e regnlar lightning rod would do it, tbe masses of iron em ployed in all shapes in modern ■trnotnres, and the bundles of telegraph wires rnnning strung over our heads, ami higher then tbe average height of onr or dinary buildings, and while every street almost has iron tracks for street railroads, the elentrio fluid was so generally distrib uted that there was no ohanae for it to concentrate anywhere. The electrician in question saw the force of the suggestion and concurred in it, and evidently per- ooived that New York oity ia no place for the profitable proseoution of the lightning rod bnsineas.
