This November SOth, 1866—tds JOURNAL AND MESSENGER, —r-^r -rrr. . ";r~rr—s=c MACON, TUESDAY, JAN. 30. Jamaica —The Reality of the Negro Plot Affiirmed—Colonial Defense of the Government. . ‘ From the Kingston Standard. Dee. o.] The reviews of the rebellion taken by .certain journals of the mother country have not surprised any one here. It could not be expected by those who have so -systematically labored since emancipation to prove the negro a “lamb” and the plan ter a ravenous,“wolf,” determined to de vour the former, right or wrong, would give up their prejudices so very easily and. adopt opposite convictions, however great the evidence offered to them of their first mistake. The negroes'in Jamaica had nothing to complain of. They enjoyed all the rights and liberties equally with the whites or browns. At ali events, those who rebelled against the constituted au thorities of jthe land and dipped their hands, under circumstances of great atroci ty, into the blood of the victims in St. Thomas in the East, advanced no motive, even at the foot of the gallows, for su«i a diabolical course, except this : u That they designed to exterrmnatc the white and cat wiPPpSW Wo jrfQp and children were preserved from death only to be submitted to a slavery and degradation a thousand times worse. The women, when deprived pf their protect ors, were to subserve to lustful pleasures of the disgusting murderers, and the chil dren were to be disposed of in some equally horrible manner. These are no mere fancies. The rebels themselves, executed at different points, far distant from one another, and without the possibility of communica tion, adhered consistently in tlieir last mo ments to the declaration of this plot. Near ly all spoke of an oath sworn to oy them to accomplish the end, so fearful in its terms and so well calculated to influence most su perstitious terror in those who took it that all refused to repeat it. The programme was carried out systematically, and the fact is the best denial that can be offered to those who believe that the excesses com mitted were only such as ordinarily take place when a populace of any kind “ break into wild riot.” In the first place the rebels took no drink ; they kept their senses clear for what they about: they burnt no build ings, except by accident; they destroyed no machinery, but simply maimed por tions of the work of the estates, so that such works might, as they stated, be easily re stored to efficiency when they became themselves the proprietors of the same after exterminating the rightful owners. They killed no women and children, but only men. They abstained from touching the property of any connected with the “ Ma roons,” for tear of alienating the support which they expecting from that people. Could a mere mob have acted so much re serve and system? It is true the rebels fled, and no where attempted to make head against the regular troops; but this was owing to a panic having been produced among them, by the unexpected arrival of the troops among then*and the terrible re tribution which was dealt a moment’s hesitation upon those who were taken. The spirit that has since manifested it self over the entire island shows clearly that, although the troops fought no great battles, the able dispositions that were made of them at all events prevented bat tles being fought, by encircling the rebels everywhere, and effectually preventing the rallying of tbe dispersed bands which might have led to reorganization and re sistance. It was quite true what his Ex cellency, the Governor, has stated in his speech, that any delay or reverse on the part of the troops would have lit the torch of revolt from one end of the island to the other. Let, therefore, Britisli v iiegro sym pathizers say as they like, and from a dis tance, apply to the investigation of this re bellion the false theories by means of which they have already wrought so much injury to the negroes themselves and all but ruin ed the unfortunate planters of those colo nies; the facts stated here are irresistible, and will, we hope, be allowed to stand out with all due importance before those s^hose province it is to decide on the prop er remedies to be applied to our present condition. Personal.— lion. Sidney EdgeVton, Governor of Montana, is at the National. From him we have gathered some interes ting facts with regard to Montana, which was organized as a Territory only about two years ago, and which now con tains some 30,000 inhabitants, The recent settlers are hardy, industrious, enterprising, and intelligent, and consists largely of fami lies who will make the Territory their fu ture home. During the past year'slo,ooo,ooo have been taken from the mines, and the revenue tax paid to the Government was SI,OOO. Hitherto gold has been mostly ob tained by placer mining, but more recent-, ly extensive mills have been erected for crushing quart", all of which are paying. The minerals of the Territory consists of gold, silver, copper, lead, iron and coal; and wood, water and stone are sufficiently abundant for all practical purposes. As an agricultural region it offers superior in ducements to settlers. Cattle fatten iu win ter on uncut “bunch grass,” an indigenous variety and almost as nutritious as grain. The temperature is steady, and the atmos phere dry. Little rain falling in sununer and little snow in winter. The two most prominent cities is Vir ginia City and Helena, each containing from six to ten thousand inhabitants. The latter is but one year old, and in the form er are substantial blocks of stone buildings that compare favorably with those of older cities ‘in the State. Goods are abundant, as well as provisions. The former are transported by overland trains, or from the head of navigation, a dis tance of 125 miles, and the latter from Salt Lake, and hence command a high price, flour selling at from S2O to sss per cwt. The Governor is confident that the Ter ritory will be self-sustaining within two years. Asa mining country he considers it the best on the continent, and a country most favorable for the settlement of those who desire a healthful, beautiful, and gold en country. —National Intelligencer. B®-The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger writes that it ap- Jears to be now pretty well settled that the oint Congressional Committee will mere ly send for persons and papers—the former to include generals who served during the war, loyal and disloyal citizens of the South, correspondents of the press who have.visited the South since the cessation of the war, Government agents, such as Carl Schurz, and, in short, all who would be likely to afford enlightenment on the subject. An imposter styling himself G. E. McCook, of the celebrated McCook family of (jfcio, was arrested in Wheeling, Va., Wednesday.

PrM the St.' fttaM Hews, Dec. % 1885.] 'Rife following strange circumstance, among the most rSomarkable that occurred during the war, is vouched forby Cal. Ellis, . late lot the Ist Missouri cavalry, aud can be attested by tlje parties concerned: A few days after a tiorcely-contested bat tle in thbKouth a' party of soldiers, belong ing to the Ist Missquiß,.took a' jaunt over the battle-field and came up to aspot where the Rebel dead were buried. In one place the hair of a man’s head was seen sticking out Os the ground like a tuft of grass, and near by a band was seen protruding up wards, which evidently belonged to the corpse that owned the head of hair. Ope of the cavalrymen remarked to his companions, in a spirit of thoughtless lev 4y; ‘See, tlfore’s a dead Rebel reaching outforsomething; let’ssee what he wants.” In the same spirit of wanton mischief, al most recklessness, the cavalrymen took hold of the man’s hand and hauled the. body out of the grave, the loose dirt tailing back into the shallow hole, Soon after the man began to stir and manifest signs of li|e, to the utter astonishment and lior- ■ ror of tbe resurrectionists. The man was taken by his rescuers to theiij tent, and. was rubbed down, washed off, and in a few days became as “good as. newJL He saidthatin the battle, he was" stunned by the passage of a shell, which knodteed hfm senseless. He was picked ur> ainong the dedd and buried like the rest. Not a scratch was found on the body. Ho said that he had joined the rebel amiy and fought the Uedcrals long and well; but as this was his second appearance on earth, he would now join the Federals and fight for them. He accordingly enlisted in the Ist Missouri, did a good deal of tough marching and hard fighting, and last September was mustered out of the service and paid off at Benton Barracks. In i.relating tho above to us last even ing the Colonel had forgotten the man’s name. Truth is Stranger than Fiction. That truth is stranger than fiction is as serted by the Memphis Avalanche, which cites the following: Ten years ago, Mr. was married to Miss ———j For a time all went well with the happy pdlr, but whether prompted by incompatibility of temper or through the meddlesome interference of relatives or friends “ye chronicler” knoweth not, only that the demon of discard breathed upon their young love, and it withered as a flow er ’neath winter’s chilling breath. And, to make a long story short, they separated. Shortly after the separation, a little daugh ter was born, and then a divorce obtained —by which'’party obtained, it matters not. For nine years—long weary years—they lived apart—never seeing, never hearing from or speaking of each other—and yet both remaining true to love’s first bright dream. The little girl grew up and was taught to believe that her father was dead. She had never seen him, or been seen by him. All, who shall say how often during those long, dreamy years, that the father’s heart yearned for the sight; of his child, and pined to hear the music of her voice. And the mother—the wife that was— was site happy ? Who shall tell ? Well, ou the day before yesterday the lady, ac companied by her little daughter, walked into, a business house in this city, and met him who was once her husband and the father of her child, coming out. They stood faee tp face, for the first time since their separation—nine years ago. Both stopped and gazed fixedly into each other’s face. The father then turned his eyes to the child, and, stooping down suddenly, caught lior in his arms—pressed her pas sionately to his bosom—rained a shower of kisses upon her faee, then placing her on floor, ho gave one glance at the mother, and turned to go. Hearing his name called in a low tone, he turned ! One look, and they were in each other’s arms They were left alone for a few mo ments by the considerate kindness of the parties present. Then a hack was called, and in thirty minutes from their first meeting they were married. New Epidemic in Berlin. The new epidemic which is exciting so much alarm in Berlin is called trichina. Up to last accounts 320 cases had occurred, eighty of which had proved fatal. Asa consequence a general strike has taken place in the pork eating line. The trichina spiralis is a small microscopic worm or animalcule, which was first observed by the distinguished anatomist. Richard Owen, in 1836, and & found in the muscles and intestines us various animate, espec ially pigs and rabbits, in such enormous quantities that a single ounce of pork is said to contain occasionally as many as one hundred thousand of these parasites. By partaking of tbe meat infected with them they are transferred to the human body, causing intense suffering, which in many instances, is followed by a painful death. The first symptoms of trichinits were noticed some years since in Dresden, but no particular attention was paid to it till the summer before last, when a number of cases occurred both in Berlin and other parts of Germany, which led to a medical investigation of ibis novel form of disease. As usual, the doctors were of different opinions, some of them declared that it Avas nothing else than what is generally called measly pork, which had been known for ages and lias ne\’er been thought particularly dangerous; and although many people refrained from'eating of the unclean animal, especially in such Ger man delicacies as raw ham and smoKed sausages, the whole affair was beginning to pass out of memory. The pork butchers breathed more freely, Avhen a few Aveeks ago it AA'as suddenly revived by the an nouncement that at Hedersleben, a small place in Prussian Saxony, the mysterious disease had broken out with virulence and was spreading OA r er the adjoining villages, its origin being distinctly traceable to a trichiifilerous hog which nad been killed by tho butcher of the place and parcelled out among the Inhabitants. jgt*, A business house at Hilton Head, S.

Vol. LVIII, No, 7 An Aneodote vs Palmerston. In 1859 the editor of the Mexican Titties was in England, and bo now relaiaa. tlie following incident: “Drivmgjrapidiymp tho Strand, w«f met a man walking rery briskly, whom we took to be our friend Prescoet, the afore-, said sugar broker. Passing our arm over the reins, we stopped the H* nsom, leaped out and immediately overtook him. “Walking side by side with' him for some distance, and having eyed him very closely, we were auro we had the man: so turning sharply around, we flapped him heavily on the shoulder, and said: “ ‘How are you, old fellow"? You don't know me, do you?| “The gentleman gave me a freezing stare, and said: “ ‘No, sir; I don't know yofi.V ‘ ‘W e gave him another familiar slap, aad said: .’rrff “ ‘Why is it possible that you have f«r gotten me ? Have you never beon to Ra- j >n Rouge ? Don't you know Dan. Hlok ey ? Don’t you recollect our bails at Brule's Landing? Look at me well?'

Wo drew back, anti thinking he might possi bly be a brother to the* sugar ma% We said; “ ‘Sir, be kind enough to tell me your name.’ “He said quietly : “ ‘My name is Palmerston.’ “ ‘What, Lord Palmerston?’ “ ‘The same.’ “We took off our hat and said: ‘ ‘My lord, pardon me for this rudeness. I am an American, travelling for informa tion and pleasure, and took you for one of your countrymen, an old friend of mine. ' “Wo shall never forget the quizzical smile that played upon the open, manly features when ne replied : “ ‘No matter, mistakes will happen.’ “A little conversation passed, in Which lie was kind enough to invito us to call and see him.” American Actors and Actresses. The London correspondent of the CHn cinnatti Commercial says: It is remarkable how largely, of late years, the English stage has had to draw upon the resources of American historic talent. Indeed, nearly all the great theat rical successes have latterly been achieved by Americans. First came Southern, a true American, though not born on our soil. His popularity has never been surpassed by any actor of ancient or modem times. He has just returned to town after starring in the provinces ; and his reception is one of welcome. He is acting in “Brother Bam. ’ ’ Have you pver heard what a splen did fortune. Bothern is rolling up? He gets $250 a night; and for several years his receipts have equaled the modest sum of $70,000 per year. He lives in a very fash ionable quarter in London, not ostenta tiously but elegantly, has the best literary and artistic company, stands up for Amer ica like a man, and is altogether a gener ous and glorious fellow. In the season he rides, gracefully, one of the finest horses that is to be seen in Kotton Row. Next in the order of success is Miss Bale man. She has made an immense sum of money, and has Just taken her leave of the English stage, amid the most complimen tary demonstrations. She has now re turned to America, where she 1b soon to be married and leave the stage—if she can! I hardly like to mention it in this connec tion, yet it cannot be doubted that in a cer tain low, coarse and immodest stylo of act ing she has had great success. Last sum mer John E. Owens made a wonderful hit. Just at present Mr. Jefferson, in “Rip Van Winkle,” is giving to crowded houses, for over the hundredth time in the Adolphi, that specimen of wonderful acting which has extorted the most enthusiastic praise from the whole press and the public.— Finally, on Tuesday night, the propretm of the Burrey Theatre, who » mulatea the enterprise of tho London managers in get ting over American talent, ai nounced thq early appearance of “that dstinguishtsl American actress, Miss Avon a Jones.” A Story of the King of Portugal.— A Paris letter writer says : “Last week a young foreigner, dressed with perfect simplicity, went into De visme’s, the gun-smith’s shop on the Bou levard des Itallens, and asked fora double barrelled gun to shoot wild boars, and ex pressed his anxiety to try Devisme’s new explosive balls. M. Devi sine happening to be in his shop, entered into conversation with the young man, and at once recog nizing a genuine Nimrod, remarked tlmt as it was absurd to try either guns or bails in a mere shooting-gallery, he invited him to his country place at Argenteuil, whore he was going to shoot the following day, and would be very happy to be accompa nied by his new acquaintance. The young man asked how long it would take to reach his house. ‘Two hours,’ replied Devisme; ‘I start by the ten train. In half an hour we shall reach our destination, and it will take us about three-quarters of an hour to try the guns, and half an hour to return ; but it occurs to me that eleven is breakfast hour. I can offer you a cutlet and an om elet —hunter’s fare.’ ‘Bravo!’ said the young foreigner; ‘I accept.’ After select ing liis gun, Devisme inquired his name and address. The young man took the Een from M. Devisme, and wrote in the ook of addresses ‘ltoi do Portugal, Grand Hotel.’ ” Pork and Piety in Chicago.—’ The Chicago Post says: We are assured that the following ab stract of a conversation “on ’Change’’ yes terday, or the day before, is not all there was of it: Prime Mess—Ah, brother Gunnybags, I did not see you at the prayer meeting this morning. It was a most feeling, and I maj say a most profitable occasion. Gunnybags—l wus detained by having to look after that oats transaction. Had private advices of a decline, and sold out at half a cent advance before the news got wind. Were there many on the repent ance seat? Prime Mess—Ah!—you were lucky— they say oats are fully three-quarters be low yesterday. Yes, there is reason to be lieve that several were touched with the spirit of grace. Gunnybags—Pork is up. It is certainly a great consolation to feel that the work of grace is beginning. You’ll make a good thing on that five hundrod barrels. Prime Mess—ls sinners can only be brought under its influence, the harvest of righteousness will be great. I am offered an advance of 25, but think it safe to hold on a day or two. G unnybags —Brother Hatfield forewarns us against a coming crisis. . The gold mar ket is certainly quite feverish. If sinners could only be made to see the awful dan ger in |vhich they stand — Prime Mess—Do you really think pork will go down? Twenty-five on five hun dred, after all, isn’t so bad for a quick ope ration. What a touching prayer was that of brother . KS3L.
