The Force of Gunpowder.
Doubtless, says the Charleston News,
there are many Charlestonians who still
remembei the tcrifie detonations caused
by the explosions of the Confederate
ircn-clads Charleston and Chicora, in
Cooper river, opposite Marshall’s wharf,
at the evacuation of Charleston, in Feb
ruary, 1865. It has always been a mas
ter of surprise to the wrecking fraterni
ty that only a small portion of the wreek
of the first named boat could be found
in the vicinity of the spot at which she
was anchored. Professor Maillefert,
whose fame as a wrecker is so well
known to the Charleston public, has for
a long time occupied himself with the
solution of this riddle. A few weeks
ago he accidentally observed a strange
rippling of the water service four hun
dred and fifty yards, or more than a
quarter of a mile, eastward of the wreck
of the vessel, and it at once occurred to
him that that phenomena afforded a clue
to the mystery. He accordingly an
chored one of his derricks above the
spot marked by the ripple, and an ex
amination revealed, lying upon the bot
tom of the river, the iron sheathing of
the bow and one entire broadside of
the vessel, constituting a mass . of iron
weighing altogether 212,750 pounds, or
nearly one hundred’ tons. The whole
broadside of the battery with three
port-holes was intact. That this im
mense mass of iron should have been
hurled through the air for more than a
quarter of a mile, affords a startling il
lustration of the force of the explosion.
This discovery .has led Frof. Maillefert
to suppose that the other half of the
Charleston is lying about the same dis
tance on the opposite side of the an
chorage, and he has already begun to
search for it. Prof. Maillefert has re
cently contracted with the United States
Government to remove the wreck of the
monitor Keokuk, which lies at the
mouth of the harbor near the Weehawk-
en lightship. The Keokuk is the only
remaining obstruction at the entrance
to the harbor, and its removal will great
ly contribute to the safety of naviga
tion. The professor has also received
the contract to remove the wreck of a
vessel at the mouth of Savannah Hiver.
Honor to a Southemor.
No American has ever received as
many honors as the late Commodore
Maury. Jj’raa.ce.b.as presented to„Jym
a Gold medal and the.Cross of Com
mander of the Legion of Honor; Rus
sia nominated him Chevalier of the Or
der of St. Ann; Prussia sent him the
Grand Medal of Science, to which was
added, at the request of Humboldt, the
Medal of Cosmos; Austria gave* him
the grand Medal of Science; Denmark
appointed him Chevalier of the Royal
Order of Denmark ; Norway and Swe
den sonJt.huu a*silver medal stamped to
his honor; Belgium and Portugal sent
him decorations. The merchants of
Nexv York at one time gave him a sil
ver set and 65,000 in cash for his im
provements in the science of navigation.
TYc feel the more proud of these hon
ors inasmuch as they were tributes to
science—a department which has never
been a speciality with Southern men.—

What Edward Everett Said: ' -
Edward Evcfelt said, “I have now
in my hand, a gold watch which com
bines embellishment and utility in hap-
pv proportions, and is often considered
a very valuable appendage to the per
son of a gentleman. Its hands, face,
chain, and case are of beautiful gold.
Its gold seals sparkle, .with .the ruby;
topez, sapphire, emerald. I open it£ .was elected to the United States Senate

and find that the works, without which
this elegantly furnished, case wopld be
a mere shell—those hahds motionless,
and those figures without meaning—are
made of brass.* <Investigating further,
and asking what is the spring, by which
all these are put, in motion, made of, I
am told it isaade of steel. *.ask what
is steel? The reply is, it is iron which
has undergone a certain process. So,
then, I find the main spring, without
which the watch would be almost mo
tionless, and its hands, figures, and em
bellishments but toys, is not gold, (that
is not sufficient good,) nor of brass,
(that would not do,) but of iron. Iron,
ety. “Its Hinds ana f%rJes which tell
the hour, resemble the master spirits of
the age, to whose movements every eye
ifl directed. Its useless but sparkling
seals, sapphires, rubies, topazes, embel
lishments, are the aristocracy. Its works
of braes are the middle class, by the in
creasing intelligence and power of which
the master spirits of the age are moved;
and its iron main-spring shut up in a
box, always at work, hut never thought
of, except when it is disorderly, broken,
or wants winding up, symbolizes the
laboring class, which, like a main-spring
we wind up by the payment 'of wages,
and which class are shut np in obscuri.
ty, andi, though constantly at work, and
absolutely necessary to the movement of
society, as the iron main-spring is to the
gold watch, are never thought of, ex
cept when they require their wages, or
fe five same want or disorder of some
kind os other.”
The political and industrial rights
and privileges o£ the laboring classes
should not be lost sight of by journal
ists. Educate and develop them, and
they, in return, will bring iroa but of
the mountains in greater abundance;
will by their superior intelligence, in
vent machinery, by which most of the
labor of life may be performed; “make
two blades of grass grow where but one
grew before;” and thus, as in all other
things, set the world ahead. The loco
motive, steam engine, telegraph, print
ing' press, sewing machines, mowers,
reapers, seed planters, harvesters, &c.,
will continue to be invented and im
proved just in proportion to the educa
tion and development of the people,
and especially .the working classes.—
Exchange.
Gen. John B. Qordon.
The Washington Chronicle is pub
lishing a series of sketches of the new
Senators who have just entered upon
their duties as such. Of Gen- Gordon
it says:
Hon: John B. Gordon, of Georgia,
is a native of the State he represents
in the United States Senate. lie was
born in Upson county on the 6th ot
February, 1832. He received his edu
cation at the University of Georgia,
and graduated in 1852. After leaving
College he studied law, and was admit
ted to the bar in 1853. In 1S55 he
embarked in an enterprise for develop
ing the coal interest in northwestern
Georgia, in which business he was en
gaged at the commencement of the war.
He raised a company for the Confed
erate service along the Georgia and
Alabama line, which xvas assigned to
the 6th Alabama infantry, and upon the
organization of the regiment xvas suc
cessively elected major, lieutenant colo
nel, and colonel. His regiment joined
the Army of Northern Virginia in
May, 1861, and as its commandant,
served therein until the close of the war.
At the battle of Antietam Colonel Gor
don received five wounds; two in his
right leg, one through his left arm, one
through his left shoulder, and one
through his left cheek. After this bat-
tie'he was promoted ^ the xank of
brigadier-general, and assigned to the
command of brigadier-general, and as
signed to the command of the Georgia
Brigade, formerly commanded by Gen
eral Lawton, then Quartermaster Gen
eral.
On the 12th of May, 1864, he led
the celebrated charge at Spottsylvania
Court House, and won the title of “The
Man of the 12th of May” and a pro
motion to the rank of Major General.
Frorit that time he commanded Stone
wall Jacksen’s division, and after the
evacuation of Richmond and Petersburg
he. was in command of one wing of
Lee’s army, General Longstreet com
manding the other.
■ Since the close, of the war he has been
engaged in various enterprises looking
to the material interests of Georgia and
the South. In 1867 he was the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of his
State, running against Bullocx. lie
over Hons. A. H. Stephens, Ben. H.
Hill, H. Fielder, and A. T. Akerman,
receiving 112 out of 202 votes. His
term expires March 4, 1S73.

wife, and that she was introduced to
him by these friends as just the girl he
was looking for; also that the two had
lived together as man and wife. She
produced a letter from Schmidt’s moth

she answered that she did. Schmidt

paid to her for her separate mainte

his wife and consent to let her live with,
him as such.
Validity of Mock Jffarriages-
In one of the Chicago .Courts a cu
rious ease was reeegtlJ fieerded in such
a manner as to convey the impression
that mock marriages are likely hereafter
to prove an expensive species of amuse
ment in Illinois. A. Mrs. Schmidt
brought suit against Jacob Schmidt,
her alleged husband, charging that she
was under the necessity of living sepa
rately from him without her fault, and
claiming separate »ainto*ance. -For

K
Why Aunt Sallie Never Married.
“Now, Aunt Sallie, do please tell us
why you never got married. You re
member you said once that when you
were a girl you was engaged to a min
ister, and promised you would teli us
about it sometime. Now, aunt, please
tell us.”
“Well, you sec, when I was about
seventeen years old I was living in Uti
ca, in the State of New York. Though
I say it myself, I was quite a good look
ing girl then, and .had several beaux.
The one that took my fancy was a young
minister, a very promising young* man,
and remarkably pious and steady. He
thought a good deal of me, and I kind
of took a fancy to him, and things went
on till we xvere engaged. One evening
he came to me and put his arms around
me, and kind of hugged me, when I
got excited and some flustrated. It was
a long time ago, and I don’t know but
what I might have hugged back a little.
I was like any other girl, and pretty
soon I pretended to he mad about it,
and pushed him away, though I wasn’t
mad a bit. You must know that the
house where I lived was on one of the
back streets of the town. There xvere
glass doors in the parlor, which opeued
over the street. These doors were
drawn too. I stepped back a little from
him. and when he came up close I push
ed him back again. I pushed him
harder than I intended to; and don’t
you think, girls, the poor fellow lost his
balance and fell through one of the
doors into the street.”
“Oh, Aunty! Was he killed ?”
“No. He fell head first, and as he
was going I caught him by the legs of
his trousers. I held on for a minute
and tried to pull him back;-but his
suspenders gave way, and the poor
young man fell clear through his pan
taloons into a parcel of ladies and gen
tlemen along the street.”
“Oh ! Aunty! Aunty ! Lordy!”
“There, that’s right, squall and gig
gle as much us you want to. Girls that
can’t hear a little thing like - that with
out tearing around the room and he-he-
ing in such a way, don’t know enough
to come in when it rains. A nice time
the man who marries one .of you will
have, won’t he. Catch me telling you
anything again.”
‘ But, Aunt Sallie, what became of
him ? Did you ever see him again ?”
“No; the moment he touched the
ground he got up and left that place
in a terrible hurry. I tell you it was a
sight to be remembered. How that man
did run ! he went out west, and I be
lieve he is preaching out in Illinois.
But he never married. He was very
modest, and I suppose he was so badly
frightened that time, that he never
dared trust himself near a woman again.
That girls, is the reason why I never
married. I felt very bad about it for a
long time—for he was a real good man.
and I’ve often thought to myself that
xve should have been very happy if his,
suspenders hadn’t given way.”

A verry plucky school-mistress keeps
in Corinth, New York. She recently
had occasion to reprimand a pupil, when
a brother of the scholar rushed at her
and took her by the throat. Forthwith
she knocked him down. Getting up,
he tried the e^eriment over again,
with a like result/ She then informed
this champion that If he tried it a third
time she would kill him, and he, not in

her word, concluded to avacuate the
