Mr. Clerk wu a native of Cheshire, Conn., and came to Augusta in 1861. He wu unlverully beloved. CUBAN HATTERS. Special to inquirer-Hun.] Havana, vis Knx West, August 10.— Lieutenant General Luis Prendergut, Chief of Staff of the Spanish Army in Cabs, is here. Taking his arrival in oon- neotion with that of Martinez Oampoe,the rumored ohange of administration of tbe island is apparently well founded. Gen. Jovellor inaugurated his adminis tration by laying open the shameless frauds committed by the army purveyors and supervising defaulters, implicating thereby indireotly ex-Oaptain General Valmueda and others. The efforts of Gen. Jovellar were in vain. The peremp tory orders of Spain obliged him to re. leue the defaulters and army awindlers. Gen. Jovellar’g honor almost obliges him to resign. If he resigns it is supposed that Lieutenant General Prendergrutwilt replace him temporarily. MarqniB Sterling, a well known Gnban lawyer, aocneed of ooospiraoy and impris oned for ten months, hu beeu released. Aff.frs are very unsatisfactory.

It would appear from the remarks made st the meeting to-night, the oom mittee has been at wurk some time con ferring with labor uuions throughout the oouutry, receiviug responses from various seotions, particularly tbe ooal regions. Jalr Report of Cotton Crop. Washington, August 10.—The Cotton Exchanges through the South have furn ished the monthly reports. A somewhat harried analysis shows that the weather daring July has been more favorable than lut year ; that the condition is from five to fourteen days, averaging nine days late, with the plant hardy and thriving. There are some statements of the ep- pesrsnoe of caterpillars, army worm and lioe, bnt u yet no damage is done. Tbe fields ere quite generally well onltivated, and the tone of the reports are oheerful, and indicates a satisfactory yield. , TUe Interview of tbe Emperore. London, August 10.—Iu relation to the imperial interview at Isohl, the Berlin semi-offioial paper oontradiots the report that a definite political agreement wu oonoluded.

Senator Book’s Hpeecli. Tbe great speech of Senator Deck, of Kentucky, at Maysville, in that State, appears iu full iu the Cinoiunati Enquirer. That portion whioh alludes to tbe aliisoc* of Independent Democrats with Radicals to defeat tbe regular organization, may be read with profit by Mobile people jast now. Uenstor Book said: With Buob prospects,with such a osuse, when we all know that suocess is only possible through unity of aotion and purpose; when the only taotios lett to tbe eueiny is to divide in order to oouquer us, it seems to me to be the very extiome of madness and folly for Democrats now to allow anything to separte or weaken them. I oan hardly understand bow men oon tun “Indepen pent” or vole for Independents at a time like this. I fully appreciate the polioy of UadioalB, who oaunot elect a member of their own party, fostering discontent, and plaoiug in offloe refrsotory or rebel lious Democrats, bat bow auy Democrat can either abandon or weaken tbe power or tbe discipline of bis party now pssBeB my comprehension. Kentucky’s motto should be held up before tbe eyes .of all —“United we stand, divided we fall." Our strength oonsists only in oar nnity, Separately we are atoms; combined ivo are invinoible. The single arrow obuld be snapped like a reed; tbe well-wrapped bundle of arrows oould not be bent. In a crisis like this, it is far hotter to bave open enmies than seoret foes.' These who cannot act with the Demooratio organization had better join tbe Radical party. Tbo organization and discipline of a party must be as compact as that of an army. Our strength in Keutaoky is our most dangerous Bource of weakness. Personal wrauglings for place rarely divided us when onr opponents are equal or nearly equal in strength; they spring up sod destroy us when tbe opposition osn only be felt in our dissension by throwing its weight into one saale or the other. That is their polioy now, all over Kentncky. Strict parly discipline alone can oountersot it, If a soldier in time of war, who hud enlisted in your army, re fuses to obey ordeis, left the ranks, call ed bimBelf independent, and professed to be fighting on your side wbile be was drawing bis ammunition, provisions and supplies from tbo enemy, yon would drive him from among you or shoot him as a deserter. You know that tbe enemy would never support a soldier in any oon- fliot, civil or military, who is not, in tbe'r opinion, siding their esaso and weakening tbe man they are seeking to defeat. I repeat, our only safety is in nnity, subordination to party discipline, obedience to tbe will of tbe majority; and all who refuse io conform to party orders end support our nominees bed best be driven into tbo osmp of the enemy. Mr. Jefferson, in bis first insngnral ad dress, attack the key-note when be re quired of his party “Absolute acquies cence in tbe decisions of a majority—the vital principle of ropublios from whioh there is no appeal bnt to foroe, tbe vital priuoiple and immediate parent of des potism.” No party can endure that does not reoognize and enforce bis precepts in this regard. The opponents of our prin oiples ought never to be allowed to seleat oar agents. It is true in politios, as in war, that we ought to be sure not to do whatever we find the enemy wants as to. I have always praotiaed what I preach on thl* subject, in as hard a race as men are usually required to make for the Senate, against many distinguished Democrats. There were seventeen Republicans in the Legislature, whose vote might decide, some of them my warm per sonal friends. I did not hesitate to avow pnbliely during the heat of the oonteat that I wonld deolino tbe race, and refuse the plaoe if any of my opponents got a majority of the Demooratio party over me. I do not believe that any Demoorat ought to hold plaoe or offloe against tbe will of a majority of his party or in opposition to its organization. Nobody now, poa- seased of ordinary intelligence, cau de cently pretend to misunderstand or be de- oeived as to the effeot of a continuation of Radical power, or as to the polioy they intend to pursne. The prostitution of the ballot-box last November, and tbe over throw of even the semblanoe of justice by the Electoral Commission, demonstrs' ted that the most sacred righto of States and people, tha very fundamental princi ples of human liberty—all that freemen lave sought to establish and perpetuate in thia and other countrios—are utterly ignored and disregarded when they stand in the way of the Hadioal leaders. The Demooratio party had for years warned tbe people against them end their doings; moderate and thinking Republicans had united with us, bnt when we had defeated them, the oonntry was ohsated oat of its victory by force and fraud. They deter mined to rale or rain. I hope they have not snooeeded. ENORMOUS TAX ON FLUUII. HAT A PATENT IS EXPECTED TO DO IN KEEPINO UP TAXES. The New York Tribune says : Gx Gov. Csdwsllader 0. Washburn, of Wisconsin, in conversation with a representative of tbe Tribune reoently, gave a history of a patent for milling wheat, whioh threatens to impose a tax of millions of dollars ou the flour aonsnmers of the oountry. Me said: “I am particularly interested just now iu fighting the infamous patent right swindle, whioh is going to levy tribute on every loaf of bread made in this oountry. You haven’t heard about it 1 Wby, it’s making a greet sensation in tbe WeBt. It’s a long atory, but I oan give you the gist of it in a few moments. I am, by the way the largest miller in tbe United States, my mills being st Minneapolis, Minn. All millers are now using wbat is oalled the high process of grinding, whiob was genetally iutroduoed in this oonntry about 1871, bnt bod been In nae in Europe for fifty years. I will explain the terms of high and low grinding. Low grinding means bringing the upper or running mill-stone low down and in olose proximi ty to the nether-atone by reason of whioh the largest amount of flour is derived from the first grinding; but as ueoeasarily must be the osse, a greet deal of the outer ooating of the wheat, together with the embryo, would be reduced to such fineness as to go into the flour, and a separation was impossible. The high grinding is tbe direct opposite of the low, snd the objeot is at the first grinding to get rid of bran at onoe and make as little flour as possible. This is done by blowing the bran off the coarse ground grain or middlings, and afterwards grinding fine the smell white granules. I bought my msohine in Franco. This improved prAocu is now absolutely in dispensable to successful milling. De prive any miller of it end he is ruined. “A ring of epeonlators in Washington have lately got bold of an old patent, never used, snd have got it reissued so as to aover all the meohines for effecting the prooess I have described. It is oalled tbe Cochrane patent. After quietly tak ing out the reissue, they went on without making any noise and took a suit up to F.DHAR ALLAN POE. AN INPIANA JOURNAL PROFESSES TO HAVE EXHUMED A HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED POEM—INSCRIPTION ON AN OLD FLX LEAF. From tile Kakama (Ini! ) Dispatch, Aug. 'III.] The following besnlifal posthumous poem from the gifted pen of the errstia poet, Edgar Allan Foe, we believe has never before beeu published in any form, either in any published oolleotions of Poe's poems now extant, or in any maga zine or newspaper of any description, and until tho critics shall show aonolusively to tbe oontrary, tbe Dispatch shall claim the honor of giving it to tbe world. That tbe poem has never before been published aud that it is a gennine produc tion of the poet who we olAim to be its author, we nre satisfied from tha circum stances under wbiah it oame into onr pos session after a thorough investigation. Calling at the bouse of a gentleman ia this oiiy tbo other day, on a business errand, onr attention was oalled to a poem wrilteu on tbe blank fly-leaf of an old book. Handing ns tbe book he observed that it (the poem) might bo good euough to publish, and teat if wo thought so, to take it along. Noticing the initiuls, E. A. P., at tbe bottom of the poem, it struok us that possibly we bad ruu aoross a “bonanza,” so to Hpeak, and after read ing it wo asked who its author wus, when he relatod tile following bit of interesting reminiscence. He said bo did not know who tbe author was, only that be was a young man, that, is, bo was a young man when ho wroto the lines referred to. Ho bed never Heen him himself, but beard his grandfather, who gave him the book containing tho verees, tell of tho ciroum- stanoo anil tbe oacasion by whioh be, the g randfather, oame into possession of the ook. His grand parents kept a oouutry hotel, a sort of waysido inn, iu a small village celled Chesterfield, near Richmond, Va. One night, juet before bodtime, a yonng man who showed plainly the marks of dissipation, rapped at the door and asked if he oould stay all night, and was shown to a room. That was the last they saw of him. When they went to his room the next morning to call him to breakfast he had gone away and left the book, on the fly leaf of wbiah he had written the lines given below. Farther than this onr informant knew nothing, and being an uneducated, illit erate man, it was quite natural that he should allow tho great literary treasure to go for so many yearn unpublished. That the above statement is true, and our dlsoovery no canard, we will take pleasure In satisfying any who cares to investigate the matter. The poem is written in Roman oharaotors, and is al most as legible as print itself, although somewhat faded by the lapse of time. An other peculiarity ia tbe manusoript whioh we notice is that it oontainn not the least sign of erasure or a single interlineated word. We give tho poem verbatim, just as it appears in the original, Hero it is: LIOIUIHIB. Loonainlo—-angels mimed her.

THE STRIKE AT KIRVEN'S 1 tf Desiring to redace my large stock of Dry Goods before replenishing for the fall trade, I have straok former prices and knocked them down so low that all oan secure great bargains. Will sell great many Goods at New York coat, and otbera br low as any “cost” store.

Albert Kibven. tbe Supreme Oourt, with a man of straw for defendant, and as no real defense wan made, they easily obtained a decision based on an opinion given by Jiistioe Miller. Now thia gang of patent swind lers are attacking tbe heaviest millers with suits, expecting to terrify all the others. They have singled ont tbe Jew ells of Brooklyn, the Haxalls of lticb- mond, and my mills at Minneapolis. They have put me under bonds in the ©nor- moufl sum of $250,000, pending tbo con- elusion of injunction proceedings. “I learn that the raBoalB propose to bo magnanimous and to grant license to such millers as will reoognize tbe validity of their patent for tbe moderate snm of $6,- 000 for eaoh ran of stones, which for this city alone araoants to tbo vast snra of $1,- 200,000. While primarily this groat sum would come from the millers, really it oomes out of the farmer and oonsnmer at last, and they are tbe real people most interested in defeat of this enormity. As there are over 6,000 runs of stones in tbo United States, this lioenae will amount to $86,000,000. We are going to bring this great outrage before Congress next win ter and try to have it cancelled. Tbo grain-growing seotions in the West are indignant at the exposure of this enor mous fraud, and the grain consuming Eist ought to be equally aroused; for tho attempted tax on the obief necessary of life affeots both aliko.” In » solemn night of Summer, Wlion my liuHi't of gloom IlloKHniuod up to greet the comer Like a row* in Itloom ; All firoboditigH that rilitroflftad me I forgot hr Joy cnrrciiaod me— (Lying joy that caught aud pressml i In tint arms of doom!)

It recites how Massachusetts invention oame to the State of Georgia in the person of Eli Whitney, tbe inventor of the cotton gin; how his patterns were stolen bofore hie patent was obtained; bow “in one in stance Mr. Whitney had difi&oulty in proving that the gin had ever bden used in Georgia, although at that moment there were several machines in motion within a stone’s throw of the Conrt IIouho, so that the rattling of the wheels might be dis tinctly heard from the jurors’ seats.” Iu four Southern States efforts wore made to set aside Mr. Whitney’s claim to his in vention, in spite of the aotivity which tbe cotton gin had avowedly brought to tho former languishing industry of cotton growing. Although from the State in whiob he first made, and where be had introdnoed his machine, he had received nothing, and from no State bad he re oeived the amount of half a cent a pound on tbe cotton cleaned by bis machine in one year, he was unsuccessful in obtain ing from Congress a renewal of his patent, living before the days of the lobby, and turned his attention to tho manufacture of arms for the United States, which pre sumably he found a more profitable oustomer.

A correspondent of an English medical journal furnishes the following recipe as a new cure for consumption : Put a dozen lemons in oold water and boil until soft (not too soft); roll and squeeze until the juioe is all extracted, sweeten tbe juice enough to bo palatable, then drink. Use as often as a dozen times a day. Should they oauBo pain or looseness of the bow els, lessen the quantity and use five or six a day until bettor, then begin to use a dozen again. By the time you have used five or six dozen you will begin to gain strength and havo an appetite. O course as you got bettor you need not uno so many. Follow these directions and we know that you will never regret it if there is any help for you. Only keep it up faithfnlly. We know of two oases where both of the pa tionts were giVon up by tbo phyHicians ( and were in the last stages of consump tion, yet both were cured by using lem- one according to tbe directions wo have stated. One lady in particular was bed ridden and very low: had tried every thing that money oould procure, but all in vaiu, when to ploAso a friend, sho was finally persuaded to use the lemons. Sho begun to use them in February, and in April she weighed 140 pounds. She is a well woman to-day, and likely to live as long as any of us. Many Wlio nre Niifferinir From the effects of tho warm weather and aro debilitated, are advised by physicians to take moderate amounts of whiskey two or three timeH during tho day. Iu a little while those who adopt thisadvice frequent ly increase the number of “drinks," and in time become confirmed inebriates. A beverage which will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors, and which is intend ed especially for tho benefit of debilitated persons, whether at home or abroad, is Dr. Sohenok’s Sea Weed Tonio. Contain ing the juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation does not create an appe tite for the intoxicating cup. The nour ishing and life supporting properties of many valuable natural productions con tained in it and well known to medical men have a most strengthening infiueuce. A single bottle of tho Tonio will demon - strate its valuable qualities. For debility arising from sickness, over oxertion or from any oauRe whatever, a wineglassful of Sea Weed Tonio taken after meals will strongbtben the stomach aud create nu ap petite for wholesome food. To all who are about leaving their homos, we desire to say that the excellent effoots of Dr. Hohenok’s reasonable remedies, Sou Weed Tonio and Mandrake Pills,are particularly evident when taken by those who aro in juriously affected by a change of wator and diet. No person should leave home without taking a supply of these safe guards along. For sale by all Druggists. aug2 eodlm ATTENTION, CAPITALISTS ! • AXjZI op North and South Railroad.
