The Russian manifestelia been issued
and the grapple between that power and
Turkey will speedily commence. It is by
no means certain that the campaign will
bes! met or derisive. Russia, although
terrible on the map of Europe arid Asia,
is by no meane a bainpsou. Her enor
uious debt cripples her movements, ami
although her credit is much better than
that of Turkey, the latter ha* the ad van
tnge of mobility. Her naval lirrce is la
atiperi ,r to Russia's, and second only t<
that of England. H< r people are war

'Hie blackberry industry in Georgia,
North Carolina, and the other Southern
States i.s about to open, and tiie local
papers are showing what a bonanza- is in
danger of running to waste. The little
town of Salem, N. C., containing only
about 2,000 inhabitants, has shipped
during three years over 3,000,000 pounds
of dried blackberries, for which nearly
half a million dollars was received.
This was equal to over 9,000' bales ol
cotton at ten cents a pound, and is a re
source certainly not to lie despised.
In 1831, Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines be
gan a legal warfare in-the courts of this
State and of the United (States, and for
nearly forty-four years she pursued that
warfare with unflagging energy and zeal,
beaten at times, but again and again re
?timing to the attack until, on Monday
ast, she saw in the decision rendered by
Judge Billings, of the United States Dis
trict Court, what is likely to prove the
end other life-long battle—a battle that
has fuially resulted in her triumph.
James lied path, the notorious Radical
correspondent, has written a letter to the
negroes of the South, a copy of which has
been sent to every newspaper south of the
Ohio river, advising them to join the
Democratic party on the best terms they
can obtain. He tells them they can ex
pect nothing from this administration ;
that their old masters have more influence
with Haves than they, and it is- for their
temporal welfare to buy protection for
votes from the Democratic party.}
The Modoc Indians, now numbering
fifty-four males and sixty-three females,
are located on a very fertile tract con
tain ing 4,000 acres, in the northeast cor
ner of the Shawnee-reserve, Indian ter
ritory.. They have engaged energetical
ly in labor during the past year, aud as
a result have a large and valuable crop
on their farm. The government ha* ex
Tended $1,852 for their schooling for ten
month*,which is under the supervision
of the Society of Friends.
A word of warning to the people of the
Shmth from the Richmond Enquirer:
" Let them remember that eternal vigi
Bence must be the price of liberty for
years to come. Let them see to it that
demoralization does net follow success,
and that party discipline does not give
away under the elevation of the moment .
Though the blood-hounds will have been
dragged from our throats, the serpents
will still hang above our camp.”
The Black Hills yielded two million
five hundred thousand dollars in gold
last year. As the danger of beiug scalp
ed ha* greatly diminished and a judicial
district has been, established there, there
will probably boa great rush of miners
this summer. Late reports say that the
gold pans out richer than it did in Cali
fornia. That accounts for the late Indian
war. They had no business to have gold
mines on their reservation.
The island ofeuba is about the worst
taxed spot on the globe. Thirty per
cent, on the profits of all business and
industrial pursuits is the present rate,
and the agents of the government fix the
supposed profits by an arbitrary standard
of tlieir own, the merchant not being
allowed either to exhibit his beats or
swear to the amount.
A tank containing tweutv-two thous
and barrels of kerosene oil was struck by
lightning and set on fire* at Petrolia,
Pennsylvania, last week. The burning
oil set fire to another tank containing
twenty-aye thousand barrels, and the
ignited fluid, running down the creek,
destroyed every thing for a mile.
The recent storm at Charleston fright
ened a light-house keeper into a state of
insanity. He took off hi* clothes and
rushed o;=t on the island and there re

a revolver threatened the lives all that
came near him, even hi* wife.

—Hawkinsville Dispatch : On Sunday
afternoon there were three consecutive
showers of bail in Hawkinsville and
surrounding country. The stones were
quite large, but not so considered by
the people here. They have too dis
tinct a recollection of the great Modoc
hail storm in IS7&—when the streets of
Hawkinsville were covered with stones
as large as tea cups, which beat off
shingles from the houses, destroyed
window blinds, and even cat boles
into new tin roofs on brick buildings.
The remembrance of that fall of hail
eclipses anything within the recollec
tion of the u oldest inhabitant.” We
have heard of no damage being done by
the hail on Sunday last.
—Lumpkin Independent: We heard
yesterday of a calf that is certainly a
great curiosity. It is of the Ayrshire
breed and is owned by Capt. Brit Davi3,
near Green Hill. At six months of age
the calf’s udder became so large that it
was milked and half a gallon of milk ob
tained at the first milking. The calf is
not yet a year old, is not weaned and is
milked regularly twice a day. This is
used freely by the freedmen on the place,
who pronounce it very palatable. Our
informant states that Captain DaTis pro
poses to test the milk shortly in order to
ascertain if it will make butter. We
deem this the mast remarkable freak of
natapjof the kind that has ever happened
in the state of Georgia. If there ever
was a similar case, we wo>.ild |ike to hear
of it.
