Kaw RaiLToan Daeor.—It has been sometime
in contemplation to build a depot for the accom
modation of tha Macon and Augusta and Macon
and Brunswick railroads, and r site for its loca
tion baa at last been determined on. It will be
erected on a portion of the City Reservation, ly
’ ing s little southeast of the old cemetery—the
uap of the land having been granted to the above
companies for the purpose by the city council.-
It is to be regretted that our present fine pas
. enger depot is not large enough to accommo
date the want* of all the roads converging here
now, or about to be finished. With its present
population the location of the main de
pot is admirable; but should Macon increase in
wealth and numbers—as is certain to be the
casein a few years—the depot as now located,
will prove an eye sore, if not a positive nuisance.
Atlanta we see ia taking this view of tha
matter, and has purchased the right of several
of the companies interested in the site of the de
pot destroyed by General Sherman in that city,
and is treating with the other railroads for a ces
sion bf their rights. The ground when pur
chased will be added to her city park, which it
adjoins The Atlanta depot, when built, will be
erected somewhere on tho outskirts of Uio Gate
City.
Should it ever become necessary to remove
oar present depot, could not the site be obtained
for e public square ? It is true, the lot is rather
small lor such a purpose, but we have nothing
of the kind iu the heart of tha city, and think a
few such health-breathing spots would add
much to its general hygienic condition
Instead of a building for the accommodation
of only two roads—like the one about to be erec
ted on the suburbs—wo should like to see one
built out there large enough to accommodate all
the present enu prospective roads

For some time, trunks, boxes and valuable par
cels have been missed from the trains and the
freight depot of the Southwestern Road, which
led to the belief that a systematic plan of robbe
ry was being earried on by some of the employ
ee* of the rood, and the matter placed in the
hand* of officer* Hawkins and Rye for investi
gation. With patience and perseverance these
officers have worked up the plot and discovered
the thieves and their plunder. On Friday night
week e trunk was stolen from the train due here
on that evening, and getting on the trail, while
the acent was yet warm, the officers succeeded
in arresting three men connected with the South
western Road, and tracing the trunk to a house
on Cotton Avenue, where not only the trunk was
found, but a vast amount of plunder of every
description captured, sufficient to fill one ot tho
largest express wagons. The names of the three
men attested are Jack Mixe, Bill ScoU and
Jordan, and they occupied the poeitioni of run
ner, watchman and switchman on the read.
Too moch credit cannot be given to the offi
cer* for the energy and adroitness in which they
hsTC sifted this matter, and in bringing the
many robberies committed in the past two or
three months on this road, home to the parties
arrested, and we are tore they will receive the
hearty commendation of all good citizens.

Attempted Wholesale Swindling in Sol.
diers’ Claims.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Pret»,
writing from Washington, on the 20th, thus
describes how a gigantic swindle on tho
Treasury Department was frustrated:
About the first of the present month it
came to the knowledge of an accounting of
ficer of the Treasury, that a proposition had
been made to a claim agent in this city to
furnish him with valid claims against tho
United States for arrears of soldiers’ pay and
bounty to tho amount of half a million of
dollars, and to allow the agent fifty per cent
of the whole for collection. The"agent nat
urally had his suspicions excited, but two or
three claims placed in his hands as samples
were perfect and evidently genuine, contain
ing soldiers’ discharges, final statements, &c.
Fortunately he was an honest man, and con
sulted tho accounting officer on the subject,
who advised him to take all the papers that
came and make advances to a limited
amount. This was done, and another batch
of claims was pnt in his hands, and there
being same reason to suppose that the vouch
ers were stolen from the office of the Second
Auditor, that officer instituted proceedings
that in the course of a week fixed fraud
with some certainty unona clerk in his office
named Drccker, who liad the recording of
these claims, and upon an ontsidc accomplice
named Ral>e, both being Germans, and on
Friday they were arrested. A book contain
ing names of deceased soldiers, and the sums
due them, was also seized, a part of the plan
being to make fictitious heirs, in which pro
ject they were to be aided by an accomplice in
Philadelphia, who la probably by this time
in the clutches of th* law. All the papers
were recovered. Much credit is duo Hon. E,
B. French, ior the skilful manner in which
the detection and apprehension of tho cul.
pritawas effected, and vast fraud prevented.

Wade Hamptm to the People erf South Caroli
na—He reeognia* the Abolition of Slarery—
The duty erf the People to oupport Pmident
Joknjon in iti preecnl policy.
Expecting to leave the State in n few day*
for an uncertain period, I cannot do so with
out expressing to my fellow-citizens my pro
found sense of the honor paid to me by the
vote given to me in the recent election for
Governor. In returning my thanks to them
for the Into spontaneous and extraordinary
manifestation of their kindness, it is doe to
them that I should state the reasons which in
duced me to decline to be a candidate.
In the first place, the Convention which
S ve the election of Governor to the people,
d with singular unanimity—though not in
their public capacity—requested the distin
guished gentleman who has been elected to
become a candidate for the office. This he
consented to do, though, doubtless, at great
personal inconvenience, and a heavy sacrifice
of his private interests. Under these circum
stances, I was nnwilling to do anything that
might cause a political contest in the State.—
I thought that no good could arise at home
from such a contest, while it might do us in
finite mischief abroad.
Tlic president of the United States had ex
hibited not only a Strong disposition to pro
tect the South from the radicalism of the
North, but to reinstate us in our civil and po
litical rights. I feared that my election—by
embarrassing him in his labors and policy-
might incidentally do harm to the State.
Saperadded to these considerations of a pub
lic character, deterring me from appearing as
a candidate, there were others of a private
nature no less strong. My affairs, neglected
for five years, imperatively demand my per
sonal attention. Hod I bcleived that my
election as govenor could really benefit the
State, or subserve any of her true interests, no
srcrificc of a private nature, however great,
wonld have deterred me from accepting that
or any other position to which she might
have called me; but regarding my nomina
tion only as a compliment from some of my
former comrades, I felt at liberty to decline,
though deeply sensible of the honor paid to
me by the nomination, and the manner in
which it was received throughout tlic State.
These reasons, which I hope you will under
stand and appreciate, impelled me to with
draw my name. Having given the reasons
for the course I pursued, and expressed my
thanks for your generous confidence in me, I
should perhaps here close. But the evidence
you have given of your kindness to, and con
fidence in me—evidence as unexpected as
it is gratifying—authorizes me, I trust, with
out presumption, to add a few words of coun
sel.
For years past, it has been the boast of our
State that there was but one party within her
limits. Commendable and vital as that state
of affairs was during the war, it is scarcely, if
at all, less so now. Every association of the
past, every duty of the present, every hope of
the future, bid us still to stand “ shoulder to
shoulder.” The work before us demands all
the patriotism, all the courage, all the endu
rance, of our whole people. Let no party
strife, no minor issues, no petty politics, di
vert us from the great and pressing work of
the hour—that of reanimating, as far as pos
sible, our prostrate and bleeding State, and
rehabilitating her, a^specdily as may be, with
the forms, the rights and the sanctity of gov
ernment and law.
The bark which was launched a few years
ago, amid such joyous acclamations, which
was freighted with such precious hopes, and
which was wafted on by such earnest prayers,
has suffered shipwreck. It behooves us, as
wise men, to build, of its broken timbers, as
best we may, the raft, whereon we may hope
to reach a haven of rest and safety.
It may be that when the flaps' of govern
ment are restored, and freedom of speech al
lowed to us, your late convention will be sub
jected to harsh criticism, and its action im
pugned. Should such, unhappily, be the
case, remember that you, the people of
South Carolina, accepted this convention as
part and parcel of the terms of your surren
der. The president had no shadow of au
thority, I admit—under the constitution of
the United States—to order a convention in
this or any other State; .but, as a conqueror
he had the right to offer, if not to dictate
terms. The terms offered by him you have
accepted, and you are bound by every dictate
of honor and manliness to abide by them
honestly, and to keep in good faith the pledg
es you have given. I do not myself concur
fully in all tne measures adopted by the con
vention ; but I shall cheerfully acquiesce in
the action it took to carry out faithfully the
terms agreed on, and I willingly accord to it
high praise for the manner in which it dis
charged its arduous and unwelcome labors.
No similar body ever represented more large-
1)' than it did, the dignity, the learning, the
virtue, and the patriotism of the State, and
I am sure that it was actuated by pure and
high motives. Entertaining these views, I
think that it is our duty to sustain the action
of the convention in recognizing the abolition
of slavery to support tho president of the
United States so long as he manifests a dis
position to restore all our rights os a sovereign
State, and to give to our newly elected govern
or a cordial co-operation in his grave and
responsible duties.
Above all let ns stand by our State—her
record is honorable, her escutcheon untarn
ished. Here is our country—the land of our
nativity, the home of onr affectation. Here
all our hopes should center; here we have
worshipped the God of our fathers; here,
amid charred and blackened ruins, are the
spots we once fondly called our homes; and
here we buried the ashes of our kindred.
All these sacred tics bind us to our State, and
they are intensified by her suffering and her
desolation.
“And as a child, when scaring sounds molest,
Clings close and closer to the mother’s breast;
So the load torrent and the whirlwind’s roar
But hind us to our native land the more.”
I trust that you will pardon me for thus
venturing to counsel you. Believe me, that
it is no presumptuous feeling that I do so,
but solely in an honest, sincere and humble
hope of contributing my mite to the welfare
and honor erf onr State. What I have said
has been evoked by your manifestations of
kindness to me. This I shall cherish as,one
of tho proudest recollections of my life,' for
it assures me of your belief that I have tried
to do mv duty. It only remains for me, in
bidding you farewell, to say, that whenever
the State needs my services she has only to
command and I shall obey. I am, very re
spectfully and grateftdly, your fellow-citizen,
Wade Hampton.

if" The Lawns (Kansas) Journal
gives the particulars o tragedy in Franklin
countv. It appears that one William Stroup
had rented to a negro a certain piece of land,
upon which the negro had grown a field of
com, In the gathering of the corn there wa3
some dispute and disagreement. Stroup or
dered the negro from the premises. He went
and soon returned with several of his colored
friends aimed. Stroup went into the field
with his son, quite a young man, each having
a gun, and ordered the negros off the prem
ise. The negros all left except the one
claiming the ownership to the corn. Stroup
then orderetkhis son to fire, which resulted
seriously, wounding the negro remaining.
He turned and fired at the boy; the shot
took effect and killed the young man The
senior Stroup then fired at’ the negro, killing
him. At latest accounts the Sheriff or Frank
lin county was in pursuit of Stronp, and prob-
ablv, erc’this, has arrested and lodged him
in jail.
Dn. Ttno’s Cncncn to be Rebuilt.—A
New York dispatch, of the 21st. says:
The pew holders of Dr. Tyng's church mot
last night and determined to rebuild the
church on the old site, with as little expense,
over one hundred and twenty thousand dol
lars, as possible. The organ and clock will
cost about $30,000 additional. $32,000 were
subscribed in about an hour for this purpose,
and a committee appointed to secure further
contributions.
The work of rebuilding will begin at once.
Fexianism in the Kitchen.—A “citi
zens” writing to the Montreal Herald
concerning the circulation of “Fenian bonds”
in Canada, says: “The writer was shown one
yesterday in the hands of a servant girl. It
was a $4 bond, and most beautifully got up.
I am informed that these bonds are selling
freely in this city and at Quebec, and that
there can be no difficulty in disposing of a
vast amount of them.” Although these bonds
will never be redeemed, the infatuated pur
chasers are of the opinion that it will free
Ireland from the yoke of British rule, and
they would be willing to sacrifice the last
shilling to accomplish this object—Kingjton

The Drama. » Mormondom.—Ii jrfll be
seen from the following, that the “Father of
the Faithful” is inclined to let his disciples
have a taste of theatricals in his out of the
way kingdom, and for that purpose has
erected a temple to Thespis, which Is thus de
scribed:
The theatre will seat it is said. 1,600 peo-
E le. It has three tiers, a gallery, and parquet.!
i the middle of the parquet are two or tnnx j
beaches reserved for the wives of the first i
president of the State of Deseret. At the
end of one of these benches, and in the very
centre of the theatre, is a rocking chair where
his Holy Excellency sits; a register being
placed there to keep his excellency’s feet from
being cold, as all Deseret might have a cough
if he took cold. I never saw a better or
dered theatre in all things, save one. In
case of a fire, should it catch in the
scenery, with a full house, it seems impossi
ble to'get out. All else is nearly perfect The
quantity of costumes and stage apparel is
immense. Tailor shops, and dress makers'
shops arc in the building, also a store with
every specie of goods iu abundance ready to
be converted into costumes of kings, queens,
clowns, priests, cardinals, popes and vaga
bonds. The Mormons are wonderfully devot
ed to the pleasures of the theatre and the
dance. Throughout all ranks and conditions,
dancing and play going are commcncd as
conducive to health. Dance houses are built
by the church in different wards and districts,
and at tlieir regular dancing meetings the
performances are opened by prayer anil clos
ed by a benediction. The women at such
meetings greatly outnumber the men. As for
the theatre, it is here stripped of all the vul
garity and lewdness that marks so many tem-
{ >les of Thespis in the East. The Mormons
■arc among them many actors and actresses,
who would take well anywhere. Some
among the younger class are really prodigies,
among them one of Brigham Young’s grand
daughter, a girl of twelve or thirteen. Brig
ham has several daughters also on the stage,
but none of them of marked genius.
A Stabbing Case.
One of the most outrageous cases of stab
bing, wc have ever been called upon to no
tice, was inflicted upon the person of Capt. T.
V. Hyde, in this place, on Tuesday last, by
James Hardin. It appears that Hardin ap
plied for admission in the Masonic Lodge,
and had placed in tlic hands of Capt. Hyde,
the amount of the admission fee. Hyde be
ing convinced that the applicant would be
rejected, as an act of friendship towards him
withdrew the petition, and meeting Hardin
in town tlic day above mentioned, hand
ed him the money, and told him that he was
satisfied that he would be rejected, whereup
on Hardin drew his knife and stabbed Hyde
in several places, without any provocation
whatever. A brother of Hyde’s, standing by,
attempted to push Hardin aside, when he re
ceived a severe wound in the left shoulder,
from the hands of Hardin. We arc pleased
to learn that the Captain, though suffering
severely, is by no means dangerous. His
wounds were dressed by Dr. C. H. Andrus,
surgeon of the post, at this place, assisted by
Dr. Hnrdwicke, of our town.
After committing this outrageous act, Har
din mounted his horse and fled. He has not
been heard from since. We earnestly hope
that he may be arrested and made to suffer
the penalty due such offences.—Sumter Re
publican, 22(1.
After Vallandigham again.—We find
the following in the Cincinnati Commercial
of the 16th inst.:
Mr. -C. L. Vallandigham visited Eaton,

iness. As soon as it became generally known
that he was in the little town, a rumor be
came prevalent that he was there for the pur
pose of making a speech. It happens that
the people of Eaton are very much opposed
to Mr. Vallandigham personally, and the idea
of his making a speech in their midst so ex
asperated a lot of the yonng men of the place,
that at early candlelight they visited the
place where he was stopping and made a loud
call for his appearance. Understanding that
trouble was in store for him, Mr. Vnllandig-
ham made a hasty exit from the house, and
'pursued his retreat through fields and over
’enccs in the direction of the depot, running
at the top of his speed, followed by qn angry
and excited mob of boys and young men,
one of whom struck him a severe blow and
knocked him to the ground, while he was
getting on the train.
Of the further action of the mob, the Day-
ton Journal says:
“Our informant was seated in the car, when
some one rushed in, almost exhausted, his hat
crushed down over his face, and the crown
bearing marks of assault, and sank down up
on a scat, apparently much alarmed. Our in
formant heard a crowd mount the platform,
and the words, “D—n the traitor I I give him
a good one!” then recognized Mr. Vallanding-
ham. Several men came into the car, cursing
Mr. V., and denouncing him as a ‘•miserable
traitor, who ought to be strung up.” Some
of the more violent were for taking him out
of the car, and “fixing him,” as they said.—
Persons in the car tried to pacify the men, but
they were warned to “dry up.” The Conduc
tor entered the car and endeavored to enforce
order, but the men told him they were as
“good as any man who carried a lantern, and
hauled traitors!” All this time the noise
on the outside of the car was becoming loud
and threatening, and clubs and stones were
clashing and clattering against the car. To
all this abuse and menace, Mr. V. did not re ‘
ply, but remained silent and downed- For
tunately, at this moment the trim, started,
just as tile mob spirit w- - *" culminating, and
our informant think* there is no doubt Mr. V.,
was thus spared more violent treatment. The
pretext tor this outrage npon Mr. V., was that
Up had made himself obnoxious on account of
his course during the war.”
