Han Francisco, April 19. —Vio- lent shocks continue in Ingo county. An island is rising in Mono Lake. Olive I»gan is lecturingin Atlanta this week. tm - - j California is supplying New York and Boston with butter. Thirty-nine delegates participated in the negro national convention in New Orleans, on the 10th. General Frank Cheatham wants to be Governor of Tennessee. Marshal O. Roberts and A. T. Stew art, of New York, will attend the Cincinnati convention. Memphis has nearly three hundred lawyers and eighty-five physicians. One half of the city of Antioch, in Syria, has been destroyed by an earth quake, and fifteen hundred lives were lost. The California Legislature has pass ed a bill that “ religion shall neither be taught nor practiced in the public schools.” A New paper is published in New Orleans called the “ Negro Gazette,” whereof Dr. It.

Passing Away. —l mpr ison men t for debt is being gradually abolished all over the Union. New York was the first State in Chrsstendom to pro hibit it. Georgia dispensed with it several years ago. The Rome episcopalians have treat ed Rev. Mr. Kramer, who has just gone over to that church, very hand somely. They have rented and fur nished a house for him. Cabinets.—Colonel R. A. Crawford has done a great deal in bringing before the public the mineral resources of Georgia. He furnished the State Agricultural Society with a cabinet of some nine hundred specimens of minerals, and General J. It. Johnston with one of six hundred specimens. He is now engaged in getting up a cabinet for The Daily Atlanta Constitution office. —Atlanta Constitution. It may l>e well said that no man in Georgia has manifested a deeper in terest in bringing to view the miner al wealth of the State, than our es teemed fellow-citizen, Col. Crawford; nor has any labored more intelligent ly or with leas regard to expenditure. At his own cost he has employed a Mining Engineer and Geologist, and devoted much of time and money in explorations and surveys through the mineral regions of Georgia and Ala bama. The Colonel and his Engineer have been giving special attention to the coal fields, for some time past both in Georgia and Alabama. He is having prepared a voluminous re port on Coal and Iron, which will soon be forthcoming. From his en ergy, skill and enterprise, an interest ing field»W’ill be presented in the re port. In his otUce we notice a large collection of Ores and Minerals, to which additions are constantly being made. This local cabinet, at Carters ville, is proposed to be the most va ried and extensive in the Southern States. It’s the right man in the right place to make it so. 1)R. A. I’. LIPSCOMB. The Chancellor of the University spent several days in Cartersville, week before last, forming the ac quaintanceship of our people and looking into the condition of this re gion in reference to the interests of the Agricultural College. Rarely has a visitor been in our midst who has made so favorable an impression upon our community, lie was more than charmed with the beautiful scenery cf our romantic and fertile valleys, and firmly impressed with the agricultural and mineral advan tages which met his observation. Extending his trip to Van Wert he also had an opportunity to examine into that region so remarkable for its varied and inexhaustible' resources of wealth and manufactures, and its untold mines of minerals, and was surprised at the variety its marvel lous treasures. While here he pleached two able and most interesting sermons before the Methodist congregation, deeply impressing his hearers, and leaving behind him an influence more than ordinarily good. We learn that the Chancellor is much encouraged by the reception which he met from all parties while on his visit to the up country, in relation to the contem plated Agricultural College, students fn many instance being ready, and others proposing to go to Athens as soon as operations shall begin and large offering lnm a hearty and enthusiastic approbation and indorsement in this “JjJ 5 ™ for advancing the agricultural inle ests of the State. CHEROKEE COUNTY SKETCHES. it r H. BREWSTER NO. I. ; Our father removed from Gwinnett I county, and settled in Cherokee!n the - winter of 1834. We were quite a small lioy at that time, but many things which occurred then are more distinctly remembered than a great many events which have transpired more recently. We remember the novelty incident to the journey from 1 the one county to the other, and thought it was a very long one. W e ! remember ramping the night after | starting in anew log cabin, in which there was no floor. We slept among the sleeper*, and our repose was sweet and refreshing. Early the next morning we resumed our journey westward, and ere the dose of the day we arrived at “Down ing’s ferry,” where Field’s bridge now stands. Then we saw for the first time the beautiful Etowah river, which lias been so familiar ever since, and there ujxtn its banks, we saw the first indians we ever beheld, and look ed uj>on those strange beings with feelings of mingled fear and wonder. In a short time after crossing the riv er we reached our destination, some j double-log cabins, within whose humble walls we were to live. Those cabins stood near where Mr. James McKinney now resides, and there we , spent a great portion of that period which is usually called “ happy child hood.” But our experience is, thatno stage of life is entirely exempt from! sorrow and care. We had our little j troubles then, and they were as bur- I thensomc perhaps as greater ones are j now. But there are many pleasant reminisences connected with the days of our childhood and early youth. We remember many happy scenes which occurred on the beautiful lawn, in the tangled wiki wood, on the banks of the river, and around the cheerful fire-side; and many other things which were not so pleasant, have also a place on memory’s page. Only a few of those scenes we propose to men tion in these rough drawn sketches, as we pass along. The “cold Saturday” occurred in the winter of 1834, and made some impression on the writer. The river was frozen from bank to bank, and our father having just opened a ferry, below Downing’s, we remember that it was necessary to cut the ice away from the flat and across the river, in in order to pass over. We remember gathering quantities of “ hog” potatoes which were thrown out in digging down the banks of the river, in order to open the ferry ; and those native tubers were not entirely unpalatable when roasted. We have since often thought that they might be rendered valuable by cultivation. There was also a weed which we call ed the “stinging nettle” which was very abundant in those river bottoms at that time. This weed we think is the same as the celebrated “ramie plant,” which has been attracting a good deal of attention of late years, and which promises to be a valuable acquisition to agriculture and com merce. Our father having noticed that the bowstrings used by the indi ans were remarkably strong, was led to enquire what they were made of; and being shown the plant used for the purpose, made some experiments in a small way, and communicated the result to the principal agricultu ral journal which was then published in the State. Thirty years afterwards the article was republished. Wheth er the discovery of the ramie plant is due to that article we are not entirely certain, but we are inclined to think that it is. Our father died soon after the publication of the article. If lie lmd lived, he perhaps would have continued and perfected his experi ments. For several years, our home was in the wilds of Cherokee, there being scarcely another white family nearer than Canton, a distance of six miles. Often the lonely stillness of the night was broken by the yell of the indian, the sharp bark of the fox, and the howl of the wolf. It would seem that those were fearful times, but we chil dren thought we were safe, even when our father was absent, under the pro tection of our mother, who possessed an unusual amount of courage and presence of mind. More than once we were warned that a certain night had been appointed by the indians to kill us all, but mother would tell us there was no danger, and our fears were put to rest. Our father was of ten absent on business, but our red neighbors entertained towards him a feeling not only of respect but of awe, and this had a wholesome influence over them. He often flogged them, afid thus taught them the importance of good behavior. A CARD. Glen Holly, Ga., \ April 20, 1872. j Editors Standard <t- Express. —ln your paper of the 18tli I see what as sumes to be a report of a Committee at the Annual Stockholders’ meeting of the Cherokee Railroad Company. It abounds with misstatements, er rors in fact, and misrepresentations. It is gotten up for a particular pur pose, subservient to the feelings and interest of a feM T persons, whose hopes of success rest on it. I yield to the voice of a friendly counsellor, and for the present decline to reply to it. I expect a better opportunity. The reply is at hand, and it will put some parties to shame. Not I, but truth will do it. I will present it not in anger; lam above that. Not in revenge; that belongs not to me, but to another. For the present I simply say, First, j The report is not what it purports to be. Secondly, It is founded in Error, proceeds in Error, leads to Error, and ends in a gross perversion of Truth and Justice. Thirdly, By an im proper collocation of facts, and a sup pression of Truth it tends to mislead the inquirer for Truth. Fourthly, The end and aim of it are to take from ' me what justly belongs to me, and has been by me dearly purchased, and at a single grasp gather it to those who never paid a single dime for it, and have always recognized me as its owner until now. In due time this will all appear. Respectfully, MARK A. COOPER. It now turns out that the Federal Government cleared about eight mill ions of dollars in the illegal sale of arms to the French Republic. This modest little sum, it appears, did not get exactly into the Treasury, but was used, it is alleged, for current expen ses of the War Department. Mr. Secretary Belknap will now have a chance to let the country know how the money was expended, who got it, and by what authority it was disburs ed. Let us have light.—Nar. News. The Philadelphia Age thinks In vestigating Committes have done some good. They have prevented 'the Radical members of Congress from endorsing General Grant in a body. The New York Custom House affair was too much for many of the members to endorse. CHARLESTON STRAW HERBIES I>' NEW TORE. The World, of Sunday, says: The first shipment of strawberries from the South was received yester day by steamer from Charleston, S. C. They are of anew variety which will stand the length of time in transpor tation. The wholesale price realized for them was $2 50@|8 per quart. But for a late frost they would have reached here early in March. Charles ton last year sent to this market ' about 10,000 quarts of strawberries, and with this new variety it is ex peceted that the future crop will be largely increased. The first shipment last year was received on the 22nd of March. DECISION ON THE RELIEF LAW. The case of the Macon and Augusta Railroad vs. Executor W. J. Eve and executors Turner Clanton, was decided in the Superior Court in Au gusta on Thursday. These suits were brought by the company to recover unpaid subscriptions to its stock. Defendants plead the Relief Law of 1870. A number of similar cases are landing in that county, and in all the counties through which the road passes, and the amount involved is la-tween two and three hundred thou sand dollars. The ease was argued in chambers, and the decision rendered Thursday in favor of the defendants, the suits la-ing dismissed under the ; relief law. We get this information ■ from the Augusta Chronicle. ANOTHER ADVANCE IN IRON. The leading dealers have advanced the price of iron to sllO per ton, in consequence of the advance recently made by the manufacturers, and makes, since last November, when iron was selling at $72 50 per ton, a total advance of $35 per ton. In this connection it is stated that a prelimi nary meeting of the iron men of Staf fordshire, England, will be held on the 20th of this month, at which it will probably be decided to advance iron one pound sterling at their regu lar quarterly meeting on the Ist of May. The effect of such an advance, as well as the advance in the United States, can only result in a still fur ther advance of all foreign and do mestic products of iron. At this rate, nails and such tilings will be an ex pensive necessity, and nobody pre tends to predict where or when this altitudinous state of things will end. A DEAD LOCK AT GENEVA. The telegrams annouce every thing | in Geneva at a standstill, awaiting { the reply from America to the last | English note, and nothing is antici pated in that reply which will enable the board of arbitration to continue its session. The treaty is, in fact, gone up, and probably little more will be said or done until after the Presidential election. The English government will take the chances for the election of a President uncommit ted to the claim for indirect and con sequential damages, and the topic will naturally find some place in the Presidential election of next fall. Meanwhile, however, the adminis tration, it is thought, has discovered some disposition to find a pretext for abating the rigorous pretensions of their case. A prominent administra tion member of the House has lately introduced into that body a series of preambles and resolutions in which the House assumes the responsibility of advising the administration to come down off the indirect damage perch, and as it was merely a House resolution, no doubt the idea was that it could be forced through without loss of time; but it stuck on the way, and therefore the Cabinet cannot run under this shelter at present.—Tele graph. AFFAIRS IN ILLINOIS. On Wednesday last Governor Pal mer, of Illinois, published a letter giving the reasons why he declined to be a candidate for renomination before the Republican State Conven tion. He could not submit his claims to that convention, because its nomi nees must necessarily be committed to Grant. Governor Palmer takes exception to measures of the Admin istration and opposes the renomina tion of General Grant, who, he says, has not the inclination and ability to enforce economy and reform the Gov ernment. The call which has finally been made public endorsing the principles put forth by the Liberal Republicans of Missouri is signed by three or four hundred of the most prominent Re publicans of Illinois. The call sug gests that the citizens of Illinois pres ent at Cincinnati select a due propor tion of their number to represent the State in the convention. —Telegraph & Messenger. PENNSYLVANIA’S GUBERNATORIAL DIFFICULTY—WHAT HER CON GRKSSMKX SAY. The Herald’s (Grant’s organ) Wash ington correspondent, writes that some of the leading Republicans in Congress from Pennsylvania declare openly that the nomination of Gener al Hartranft for Governor was so un fortunate that his defeat and the pos sible defeat of Grant in the State are events to be anticipated. They say there is much discontent in the State, and that the political “ Ring” which nominated Hartranft declare that the administration must carry them through the fight. “ The State elec tion,” these politicians say significant ly, “ comes a month before the Pres idential election,” thus leaving the in ference that if Hartranft is not carried through, the State will go against Grant. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. The Masonic Temple in Charleston is making rapid advances toward completion. The Barnwell Sentinel says a rail road between Blaekville and Barn well is a fixed fact. A. H. Hickman has been re-elect ed President of the Grantville Manu facturing Company. The number of visitors in Aiken at present is greater than at any former period in its history. The firemen of Charleston are pre paring for a grand tournament to take place on the Bth of May next. The number of cattle destroyed in Marion county lately, by a kind of murrain, is estimated to exceed 1,000 head. The City Council of Greenville has resolved that hereafter they will not issue license for the retail of spiritous liquors within the city limits. The Laurensville Herald says it is confidently believed that not less than five hundred citizens have fled from that county, and possibly the State, in consequence of the late mili tary arrests. DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO IN SOUTH CAROLINA. A severe wind and rain storm pass ed over a portion of South Carolina on Thursday, by which many houses were blown down, and much proper ty destroyed. In Columbia the roof of the new market was blown off and the building nearly demolished. Fences and trees were blown down and other damages done. At Ches ter the storm w r as felt in its full force. A dispatch to the Charleston News says: The main damage was confined to a tract about one hundred and fifty yards wide, passing through the east ern portion of the town in a direction from west to east. Not a house in this tract escaped uninjured. Fifteen i or twenty dwelling and numberless kitchens and stables were levelled to the ground. The steam mill of \V. R. Robertson is a total wreck. The dwellings of George McCormick, John McArthur, John Simpson, Mrs. Baird, Mrs. i Sledge, Win. Quattlebaum, Mr. Cald well, Mr. Stokes and others are en tirely destroyed. No lives were lost. ; Several persons were injured by fall ing timbers, but none seriously. A ! colored man, Harrison Baily, escap ing from the mill of W. It! Robert son, was picked up by the whirlwind and landed in an elm tree one hun dred yards off. The damage can not fall short of thirty thousand dol lars. AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA. This from the Athens Watchman : His Honor Judge Davis decided a very important opinion at Franklin Court last week— imj>ortant to Sher iffs and newspaper publishers. He decided in substanra that, wiv n not otherwise stipulates;! in the contract with the printer, the Sheriff is j>er sonally bound for all advertising fees, no matter what plea of homestead ex emption, bankruptcy, insolvency, Ac., mav be interposed —that he takes the office with the knowledge of the fact that the law holds him responsible for these fees, and lie cannot after wards avoid tliiss responsibility. From the Macon Telegraph A- Mes senger of the 17th we clip the follow ing: Colonel John Bom -, son-in-law of Hon. Joshua Hill, w..ocommanded a negro regiment during the late civil war, anil is now enjoying his reward therefor in the shape of a fat ofliee in the Savannah Custom-house, and A. B. Clark, carpet-bag Assessor of inter nal revenue were lxith nominated on Monday last at a Radical meeting in that city as delegates to the pow m ow at this place, on the Bth of May, but M hen their names were submitted to the meeting the negroes repudiated them with great energy, and proceed ed to substitute two of their own col or. “ Wahoo Bradley” Mas unani mously nominated as one of the dele gates. Mike Reddy, of Camilla, is a ditch er and Irishman, hence the sequel. A colored person incautiously made some remarks reflecting on Mike’sar tistic abilities, and the result is that the negro’s hair is too thin to comb. A Stewart county man claims that he raised two hundred bushels of Irish potatoes last year from a quarter of an acre of land. Mr. Sheperd Benson, of Macon, one of the candidates for the naval cadet ship, successfully passed examination before the Board in that city the oth er day. The Americus Republican says, Mr. Samuel Cain, one of the largest gro cery merchants of that place, hassued Messrs Harrold, Johnson & Cos., of the same place, for slander, laying his damages at $50,000. From the Constitution, of the 17th, we extract the following: A Radical gathering took place at! the City Hall Monday night in the ! Council Chamber. The room being I quite small, was well filled. Every; Federal office-holder in Atlanta, a few whites, and a large concourse of ne groes assembled. At 8 o’clock the meeting was called to order by W. Jennings, United States Revenue As sessor. Volney Spalding, Esq., mov ed that Henry P. Farrow, United States District; Attorney, take the chair. It. T. Simmons, a laboring man, moved that a “ young man by the name of Rocafeller” take the chair, but was squelched by United States Assessor Jennings, who decided that United States District Attorney Farrow was elected chairman, though the vote sounded strongly in favor of Rockefeller. \V. Markham moved that United States Assessor Jennings I and Finch, colored, be Secretaries. Much confusion took place, about two ! hundred vociferating at once. James ; Atkins, of the Savannah Custom house, moved that a committee of five be appointed to prepare business for the meeting. More confusion. R. T. Simmons made a speech severely de nunciatory of all office-holders, those present in particular. Much confu sion. The Chair decided Mr. Atkins’ motion carried. J no. L. Conley mov ed a reconsideration. Still more con fusion. James L. Dunning, United States District Attorney Farrow an nounced the following as a business committee: James Atkins, Collector of Customs at Savannah; James Dun ning, Assistant United States Post master, and Democrat; Volney Spal ding, office-holder in prospective; Mitchell Cargyle and Wm. Finch, negri es. United States Assessor Jen nings introduced a series of resolu tions condemning Governor Smith for appropriating agricultural land scrip to bloated aristocracy at Athens, and giving none to the negroes, and appointing James Tate, Prof. Ware, John L. Conley, and United States District Attorney Farrow, to look into it. Resolution unanimously adopted. James Atkins, Collector of Customs at Savannah, then reported the fol lowing delegates to the Macon Con vention: James Atkins, Collector of Customs at Savannah; H. P. Farrow, United States Attorney; James L. Dunning, United States Postmaster; Wm. Jennings, United States Reve nue Assessor; Wm. Markham, Can didate; Marshall deGraffenried, late clerk of Governor Bullock; D. D. Sni der, ex-United States Assessor; A. Jackson, W. Finch, James A. Tate, Mick Mitchell and Mitchell Cargyle, negroes. Mr. Atkins then reported a list of twenty-one names as county Executive Committee, of which one half were office-holders. Woods, of the Hawkinsville Dis patch, is privately circulating a story to the effect that a man in Pulaski county has a gourd-vine that grew in his garden, spread out to his house, run up the chimney, down the chim ney into the fire-place, and bore a gourd! Woods dare not print this outrageous story in his paper. The Marietta Journal says that the number of students entering the Geor gia Military Institute is rapidly in creasing. An eagle was killed in Columbia county the other day measuring six feet from tip to tip. The type, press, and other material of the defunct Atlanta Era w ere sold at sheriff sale on Tli ursday. The Con stitution bought some, and the re mainder was knocked down to J. F. Dever, revenue collector. The whole brought $4528. The Bainbridge Democrat has this : A negro boy belonging on Col. Sim’s plantation, near this city, was bitten on his left arm, near the shoulder, about dark last Monday by a rattle snake with three rattles. The arm Mas considerably swollen in a few minutes, and the boy deathly sick ; the pain, however, Mas not intense. Medical aid was immediately sought, I and at this writing the boy is in a fair | May to recover. If the snake had been older the bite must have been fatal, for his teeth had to be pulled from the arm. It is thought that Mr. Farris, of Americus, will receive the reward of one hundred thousand dollars offered by the Legislature of New York for aii improvement on canal boats to be used on the Erie Canal. The Repub lican says that the invention of Mr. Farris is novel and ingenious. The State Teacher’s Association will meet in Augusta on the 30th inst., in stead of May 7th, as heretofore ap pointed. Capt. C. W. Howard publishes a card in the Plantation of the 17th, in which he states that he has been ad vised by friends, and their advice has the concurrence of his own judgment, that he is physically unable to attend properly to the duties connected with his contemplated European mission ; and that a sense of duty to those who have urged this enterprise requires him, reluctantly, at the last moment, to decline it. He returns thanks to those who have bestowed upon him their generous confidence, and adds that the money deposited by each one to defray the expenses of the mission shall be immediately returned. Walker, William and J. B. Ham mett, of Troupe county, aged respec tively IG, 14 and !), were last year reg ular attendants at school and cultivat ed 5} acres of land, in cotton produc ing four bales of cotton weighing 1,480 pounds, which was sold for 201 cents per pound, giving them a purse of $299 70 for their industry. The shoe and harness establishment of J. B. Wolle A Cos., of LaGrange, was enter ed a few nights since and an iron safe was taken out upon the street and pounded open, and robbed of $75, to gether with notes and other papers. — Im Grange Reporter. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. WASHING’IDX. Washington, Anri! 22.—Seegeia ry Delano telegraphs tae President from Muscage confirm ing the slaugh ter there. He says the erils arise from bad white men Mho follow the progress of the railroad. He urges the organization of a District Court for the territory as the only means of quieting matters. In the Senate the deficiency appro priation bill M as discussed. In the House under the usual call jhe postal telegraph committee of the House agreed to abandon their bill and adopt the Senate’s. Washington, April 19.— The President sent a message to the House to-day, giving full details of his informatiou regarding the Ku Klux in several South Carolina coun ties. His informalion Mas mostly oral, except that derived from Aker man’s report, which asserted, among other things, that these combinations embrace two-thirds of the active white men, and have the sympathy and countenance of the other third. They are connected with similar com binations in other counties, other States, &e., A-c. Akerman accuses those people of systematic perjury, whereby the prosecution of members of the Klan is defeated. Washington, April 20—The Fort Smith New Era confirms the reported massacre in Indian Territory. At last accounts the parties were near to gether for another fight. The Mar shal's party numbered eleven, seven of whom are dead. A dispatch says this is one of the most terrible affairs ever known in the Cherokee Country, originating in the distrust and jealousy with which the more intelligent portion of the inhabitants are misled by bad white men. John Jay Knox has been appointed Controller of the Currency. SENATE. The bill to bridge the Missouri River at Brownsville, Nebraska, passed. The bill for free tea and coffee came up, when Mr. Trumbull moved an amendment for free coal and salt, and the matter M as postponed. The Southern Pacific Railroad Bill was resumed. Later— The Texas Pacific Railroad Bill passed. SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston, xlpril 22.— 1n the United States Court to-day the case of John Rogers, of Union County, indicted for conspiracy and murder was taken up. The government abandoned the murder charge. The trial for conspiracy began, and four witnesses, called by the government, testified to their participation in sev eral murders. Charleston, S. C., April 20—In the United States Court, Jasper R. Lapaugh was convicted to-day, of conspiracy and murder, and recom mended to the clemency of the court and the executive. Six prisoners, from Spartanburg, pleaded guilty of conspiracy. ALABAMA. Montgomery, April 22.— . After a long litigation before Judge Woods, of the United States Circuit Court, at Mobile, by W. J. Drake and others, to set aside the decree of Judge Eusteed, delaring the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad a bankrupt, it was decided by Judge Woods last Saturday that the bankrupt proceed ings were in a regular form, and he declined to interfere. The sale of the road came off - at this place to-day in pursuance of the advertisement by the assignees in bankruptcy. Governor Lindsay bought the road for the State, and it gives much satisfaction to the* people as it is thought it will save the State from any loss on account of the road. MISSISSIPPI. Jackson, April 22. —A liberal Re publican mass meeting and conven tion was held at Vicksburg to-day, and have appointed the following delegates to the Cincinnati Conven tion: Captain Fish, Judge Speed and others. J udge Jefferds, late of the Supreme Bench of this State, by military ap pointment, addressed the Conven tion, applauding the action of this and other counties bordering on Pearl river. An insect, commonly known as Buffalo gnats, have attacked the farm horses and mules, and so severe that many hundreds have died in the past few days. Great apprehen sion is felt on the part of farmers, very many of whom have no teams with which to cultivate their crops. PEN N SYLVAN 1 A. Philadelphia, April 21.—A meeting of the Liberal Republicans appointed a committee of thirteen to arrange for the Cincinnati trip. General Thomas said he had labor ed to build up the Republican party, but now he was free to say that it M r as now the most corrupt party on the face of the earth. Colonel McClure said the plain English of the whole thing w r as the rebellion, and the bringing of it to the dignity of a revolution. Five years ago there might have been a necessity for the exercise of military authority in the South, but not now. The speaker differed with President Grant upon principle. The most dangerous thing the free institutions of the country had to meet was the policy of President Grant to carry the elections by force of the bayonet. To his mind the South has been more desolated since the war than before. MEXICO. Matamoras, April 22.—The Sev enth Cavalry revolted yesterday and attempted the life of Cortina, who M-as rescued by the Fourth Regi ment. Several were killed on both sides. Six men, taken in the revolt, were shot by Cartina. Passengers from Camargo assert positively that Queeraga is en route for this city, with about 3,000 men. The revolutionists here assert that they will be here with heavy artil i lery to-morrow. The fortifications ! are" in the best possible condition, 1 and every possible precaution taken I for resistance. NEW YORK. New York, April 18. —The Grant meeting at Cooper lustilute last night was jammed. Wm. E. Dodge and Gen. Sickles were the principal ora tors. The Committee of the Georgia Legislature, who arrived here last week, for the registration of bonds here and elsewhere, are busily en gaged every day discharging their assigned duties, and thus far have acted upon over $2,000,000 of Georgia bonds. The Committee are very desirous of securing the attendance of ex-Gov ernor Bullock, and have made sever al efforts to that end, but without the least success. Hearing more than a month ago that he was in New York, Messrs. Simmons, Hall and McMil len wrote from Georgia requesting his appearance before them when they would sit in this city during this month. To this letter Bullock re plied that he did not think he would be in New York during April, as he had business engagements else where, and therefore could not appear as requested. He, however, referred the committee to his attorneys in At lanta, who could give them as much information about Georgia bonds as he could. In consequence, these at torneys were called upon, but instead of doing as Bullock said they would, they repeatedly declared they knew nothing about the bonds, that they had simply been retained by Bul lock to defend him before Georgia courts in case of arrest and criminal accusation. This is the nearest the committee have come in securing Bullock’s appearance before them. So desirous indeed are they to secure the presence of the ex-Governor, that by their authority the following prop- cnition is hereby made, that they will uav his expenses incoming :uid going from here, and allow him one hun dred dollars per day besides, while in attendance should he appear within the next ten days. The Committee emphatically deny that they were ctose , «i with Mr. Henry Clews, late financial agent of Georgia, in New York, receiving instructions how to c induct their investigations. The Atlanta Sun prints a corre spondence between a man calling himself “Professor” Ware, of the Atlanta negro college, aud Gov. Smith and Professor W. L. Broun, of the Agricultural College at Athens. Ware wanted to know if negvoes would be admitted to the college. Gov. Smith’s answer was that in giv ing the scrip to the University he took no action and passed upon no question except what was necessary to save the scrip to the State, aud that the question of admitting negroes had nothing to do with that. Profes sor Broun replied in substance “that negroes would not lie admitted under the present provisional organization. No United States funds were used, and, therefore, the negro question does not properly come up; that the Legislature or Trustees will decide the question; and that, as he has no means of knowing what their action will be, his opinion will not be of any value.” Exit Ware, with a flea in liis ar.
