IT WOULD REQUIRE THE SCOPE OF QUITE A large volume to contain the good things that are said about the Morning News by its contem poraries of the Southern press. It is almost daily referred to as “The best paper in the South.” “the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and is gener ally conceded to be in all respects a modern Southern newspaper. This is the fame that the Morning News covets, and no pains will be spared hereafter to make it still worthier of the confidence and patronage of the people of Georgia and Florida. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to the improvement of the paper in respect to its already large facilities for gathering the current news of the and ay, and its staff of special corres pondents has been reorganized with a view to meeting every possible contingency that may arise. Although the Morning News has little or no competition within the field of its circulation, nevertheless no effort will bo considered too ex pensive that give the earliest and freshest infor mation to its readers. In this respect there will be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it for ahead of its contemporaries. The features that have rendered the paper so popular will be maintaiued. The editorial de partment will lie conducted with the same digni fied thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, aud earn est devotion to principal that have characterized it. The racy reliability of tiie local, and the ac curacy and completeness of the commercial de partmerts, will be kept up to the old standard, and improvements will be made whatever they are suggested by experience. The Morning News is the only Savannah paper that publishes the Associated Preßs dispatches and the Telegraphio Market Reports authorized by the Commercial Bureau of New York City, lu addition to this, the Local Market reports will be full and reliable, and will enable business men of Georgia aud Florida to form estimates as accu rate aud as intelligent as If they were in the city. In a word, the Morning Nows will comprise every feature that renders the modern newspaper attractive, and its readers may confidently look to its columns for tlie latest information in regard to everything of current interest, It will admit of no rivalry in its own proper field, aud will al low no eompeditor to outstrip it in any depart ment of journalistic enterprise.

Tlie recent celebration at Mays ville, Ky., of the centennial of the first corn planting in Mason county, brought out the following story: On the 22d of June 1870, a company of six hundred Caiffcdians and Indians under Col. Byrd, a British officer, came, with six cannons, in boats or canoes, down the Big Miami river, up the Ohio to where Covington now stands, thence up the Licking river to Ruddle’s or Hinkson’s Sta tion. Their approach was most painfully here heralded to the little company of settlers by the booming of a cannon—a sound which had never before waked the echoes in Kentucky. A surrender was deman ded 'with promised protection by the British from Indian ferocity and in dignities, and of kind treatment as prisoners. But no white man ever yet could restrain the terrible pas sions of Indian warriors with priso ners in their hands, and in this case several were murdered and others threatened with death and barbar ously treated before Col. Byrd could arrest their terrible fate by threats of instantly returning .to Canada and abandoning the expedition. Martin’s Station, five miles distant and three miles below Paris, on Stoner creek, was surrendered after ward; but the prisoners were saved from death by Col. Byrd, although the Indians divided the spoils among themselves. Among the captured at Ruddle’s Station were several boys. John Ruddle could not travel be cause of a stone bruise on his foot: he was tomaliaw'ked and scalped, but his two young brothers, Abram and Stephen, were spared, because of their cheerfulness and bravery. George and John Sail, two little boys, the latter only two years old, were about to be tomahawked, as too young to be of any value as pris oners, when a warrior, less Wood thirsty than the rest, proposed a test of John’s capability of endur ance and nerve. To ascertain if he would make a plucky Indiau, and so be worth the raising, they deter mined to roll him down a high and steep stony hank, whore the knocks and bruises would sorely try him. He underwent the cruel ordeal without a whimper or winching, or any show’ of fear or suffering, and with a smile began to clamber up the bank, seeming to say, “Do that again.” Such coolness and self possession in a little child struck them with intense admiration, and they adopted him and his brother. George grew up to manhood and married among them: but John was rausomed in a few years and return ed to Harrison county, and lived a long and useful life. Coon Story. The following is from n neigh boring exchange: “A farmer a few miles from town caught three coons, and shut them up in a barrel in his wood shed. Next morning, having occasion to leave home on business, he was ab sent all day. About twilight a two year old porker came smelling about, and thrust his nose into a crevice in the barrel, where a piece of broken stave had dropped out. One of the coons instantly seized piggy’s snout and held her fast. The hog gave a squeal that could have been heard a mile away; the farnWr’s dog rushed up, and by way of doing something, caught the pig by the leg and began to pull and gnaw with all his might and main. By this time the farmer’s wife got upon the scene, and after vainly try ing to beat off the dog, she seized him by the tail and began to pull too, and soi'oam almost as loucl as the pig. A neighbor ran to the releif of the party, and seeing sparks fly ing out of the stove-pipe, concluded the house was on fire, so he snatch ed up a pail of water, scrambled to the roof, and pouring it down the stove-pipe, cracked anew stove in several pieces. Meanwhile, the united strength of the woman, the dog and the pig upset the barrel, and one of the coons rushed out, stumbling over the dog, he seized his tail close to the woman’s hand, bit it through; the woman, with the fragment in her hand tumbled over the barrel just as the man descended from the roof of the house. He ran to her assis tance, and was in the act of picking her up, when her husband returned, who seeing his wife struggling in the arms of a stanger, rushed upon the supposed intruder, and a rough and tumble fight ensued with varied success. At length they paused to take breath and entered into an explanation, the result of which was that everything was put to rights, save the* stove and the dog’s tail.” $2.50 A YEAR. Woman’s Love. It is we confess, rather a hard lot which is assigned to a woman that she is never allowed to be the first to tell her love. Some have contended that this is a right of which she ought not to be deprived, and that it is both unjust and cruel that she should not enjoy the same privilege as a man to express a pref erence for any one to whom she hap pens to take a fancy. Whatever in trinsic fairness might desire, howev er, the distinction between the two sexes, in this respect, is well settled by long established usage, that to all present practical purposes, it seems idle to cavil at it now. But women often feel what cus tom forbids them to express; and it is possible that they silently indulge their predilections the more freely for the very reason that they are prohibited from giving to them a voice. We think such indulgence often leads to great unhappiness, and sometimes to lasting disappoint ment and grief. We receive a large number of let ters from young ladies, in which they avow frankly that they have permitted themselves to fall in love with young men of whose sentiments toward them they are in doubt. Now we earnestly caution girls and young women against allowing their affections to become fastened, in this way, upon persons to whom they have no business to to extend. It may be said that love takes to itself wings, and is not always un der the control of the reason and will. We admit that there is a degree of truth iu this; but while the heart cannot be absolutely governed by the head, it may be to a great extent* and the effort should always be made to keep it in subjection. So much of misery results from falling in love where there is no prospect w probability of its return, that it should be carefully guarded against. Young women 'should nek allow their thoughts to dwell and con-- centratc on young men who have never shown them any partiality*, and whose feelings consequently may be presumed to be indifferent in reference to them. They are not privileged to make proposals, ancl they should study to curb the pre mature bestowal of their affections as custom eurha their tongues.— Es. fey"* Enjoy life, and be not melan choly and wish thyself in heaven. If a king should give you the keep ing of a castle and grounds, and you use them, promising in twenty years’ time to make you a privy councilor, do not neglect the castle, refuse the fruits, and sit down, whine and wish yourself a privy councilor. —John Seldan. - * A committee of three, ap pointed by enterprising parties who have suffered loss by the destruction of their property in the Black Hills by the military, have brought suit at Omaha against the government officers who distroyed it.
