Jack Brown has been commissioned revenue officer of the 4th distiict of Georgia. The State of Alabama has gone by about 15,000 majority in favor of a convention. Three children were eaten by a bear, in Gaie tan, Ontario, on Saturday last. The American rifle team, who won such hon ors in Ireland, are now in France. The Constitution suggests with great propri ety, the formation of a Southern Press Associ ation, for the purpose of obtaining late and re liable telegrams. Gen. Joseph E. Johnson has formally declin ed the appointment of President of the Arkan sas industrial university. A verv dstructive fire occurred at Yeddo, Ja pan, on the 12th nit., which destroyed the buildings of the Department of the Interior. A great many valuable articles, which cannot be duplicated, were burned. There were DSG deaths in New York city last week. Reports of the sparsity of gold in the Black Hills continue to be received. The government of Turkey has authorized the introduction of the Bible in that country. The donkey which killed the lioness in a fair fight in Cincinnati last spring, has at last suc cumbed to the wounds received on that occa casion. He die! last week. Jt cost? $46,972 £8 a month to “run" the State of Georgia—ssoo,o74.74 per annum. The sun of the Carlists evidently is paling. 3000 of them are shut up in a citadel, and fre quent reverses to those in the field are reported, -panish funds are in the ascendant. Montana claims to have arrested old Bender. Wt hope that she is justly entitled to the claim in having secured the old wretch. He commit ted a recent murder, which led to his arrest. Grant, although especially invited, failed to attend the funeral of Andrew Johnson. None of the colleagues or former distinguished friends of ihe deceased attended his funeral. A son of Alexander Hamilton, the great statesman, died in New York on Tuesday last, aged ninety years. Pryor says three of the leading witnesses for Tilton in the next trial, will be I.ees the drug gist, HenryC. Bowen and Joseph Richards, the brother of Mrs. Tilton. The jury in the Waddy Thompson case disa freed and could not find a verdict. Judge lippen lias increased Thompson’s bail to $12,000, which had not been given on Monday. Mr. Alexander 11. Stephens and Col. S. G. Holt were elected Trustees of the University of Georgia, to fill the vacancies occasioned by the death of Hon. Dunlap Scott and Col. T. C. Goode. The election was unanimous. Andrew Johnson, four years ago, said to old Rrownlow, “Death has already laid his icy tln fiei s upon you! And yet you sit, a poor galvan ized corpse, and laugh in the faee of the King of Terrors!” And now the shrivelled parson, in tolerable good shape, sits and listens at the clods as they fall upon Andy’s coffin. A proposition has been made to change the name of Ab. Woilord’s post office, on the State Road, from Tilton to Elizabeth. It is said that Andrew Johnson’s life was insured for $350,000. A census, just taken, gives New York city 1,050,000 inhabitants. The population of the globe is put down at 5,320,000,000. The wheat standing in the shock, in Kentucky, is represented as sprouting. Hans Christain Andersen, the poet and novelist, died on Wedness day last, aged 70. The convention ticket in Alabama, has a majority of 15,000. Many Re publicans, voted for the call. The trial of the Engine and pipes of the Atlanta Water works will l>e jT.io iSfeiiuuse, oi ihe Langley factory near Augusta, has been again struck by lightning, and damaged to the amount qf S7OO : Emigration of Chinese to Califor naiis increasing. Last year there were 15,807 of them received in that State —2OOO more than came the year pre vious. The Liverpool papers estimate that the American rifle team carried oft $150,000 from Ireland. This comes of their being the best shots. It is said that the horses and car riages owned and used by the people spending the summer at Newport are worth,'at a low estimate $1,000,000, A murderer in Illinois, perpetrat ed thirty-eight years ago, has just come to light. The parties who committed it are still living, and will be brought to justice. The report in circulation, to the ef fect that W. P. Ross, the Chief of the Cherokee Nation had been assasina ted by the party opposing his re-elec tion, proves to be untrue. Singer the Sewing Machine man, it is said had a yearly income of $1,000,- 000, from the sale of his machines when the extention of his patent expired. The Janesville Southron says that if the family of General Long street are pleased with that city, the General will make it his future home. Then the question may be considered settled, for we cannot see how they could do otherwize than like it. There is a rumor in Havana that the Director General of Finance, Gutierrez dela Vega, is virtually a prisoner in his own house, where he remains under arrest. It seems he has managed the administration of the finances too much to his own advantage. At Union City, Ky., a singular bird was killed a few days ago. It was three feet 10 inches high, meas ured fifty-four inches from tip to tip of its wings, neck twenty-two inches long, and its legs, from the floor up to the first, feathers measure 24£ inch es, and it weighs but 2 pounds. A Serious Imputation.— r-The Memphis avalanche calls upon the Governor,Comptroller, and Treasurer of Tennessee, to answer to the charge made some time since, and not yet contradicted, that the authorities of that State “when attempting to bor row money in New' York to pay the July interest, endeavored to pledge as collateral, railroad bonds which had been redeemed and returned to the Comptroller’s office for cancella tion.” We should say that-the offi cials called upon should immediately “ns© and explain.” The charge is a very serious one. George McGinley, whom Jwe learn ed during the war, to know as a tip top hotel keeper, “goes” for a Mr. Brown, who got the use of his ball room in the Kimball House, in At lanta for a dance on Friday night, the 30th ult. It seems that Mr. Brown engaged the room until 11 o’clock, p. m. and refused to vacate it until 1 a. m., but Mr. Me Ginley bad espe cially denied him the use of the room longer than 11, on the ground that it would annoy his guests. Mr B. “rushes into print,” to tell of his grievances, which telling, Me says is untrue. We approve of Mr. G’s course in closing his ball room at such a time as will enable his guests to get a good night’s rest, and doubt not all those guests will think more of him for it. Failure of Beecher’s Publish ers.—One of the most conspicuous of the scandal celebrities informed a New YorkiS'wn reporter on Thursday, that the disaster which has befallen Ford & Cos., comes largely from the amount of capital that was put into the “Life of Christ.” He said posi tively that he knew that when that work was first projected the gentle man who joined with Mr. Beecher held frequent and long consultations with the Plymouth pastor as to whether the life of the Saviour should be written from an orthodox or liberal standpoint. The English subscribers to the book refused to take the first volume until the sec ond was finished, and the firm was tying up money in the book on this account. The second volume was two-thirds through the press, and Mr. Beecher was expected to resume work on it in the fall. Can it be that the prophecy ofSam Wilkerson, who said the scandal trial would “knock the Life of Christ higher than a kite,” is being fulfilled? Roman London. —Mr. John W. Forney writes an interresting letter to the Philadelphia Press from Lon don on discoveries made there recent ly while workman were making deep excavations for the foundations, of the National Safe Deposit build ing. The relics are supposed to be nineteen hundred years old, the date being fixed by the seventy specimens of coin found in the ruins of “Roman London.” The articles found besides the coins consists of red glazed pottery decorated with figures of birds, ani mals and foliage; Roman-Britisli specimens of urns, like those now in use; a large number of the instru ment called the stylus, with which the Romans did their writing; a va riety of knives, daggers, keys, bolts, bronze ornaments for the person, bronze egg spoons, chain work, etc., and fragments of glass, wooden spin dles,horse gear, chisels, and iron tools, sandals, shoes, etc. Old General Preston won a bet once from a celebrated Barkeeper, who was noted for being a great his torical scholar, and who would ar gue for hours an issues, events and J Jim, but this is warm. I haven’t been so warm since old General Cass was President of the United States.” “What!” said Jim, “General Cass never was President of the United States.” “Why, yes, he was,” re plied Preston, with well feigued as tonishment. “I’ll bet you drinks for the house he wasn’t,” said the excited proprietor. “Done,” ans wered the old man, and he drew fourth his pocket-book, unfolded a page of the Congressional Globe of 1848-9, and proceeded to read that President Taylor having died on Saturday, and Vice President Fil more not being in Washington, the President of the Senate, General Cass, became President of the United States until the following Monday, pending Fillmore’s inauguration. When the old man had finished read ing he looked around and said! “Come up, boys. A little Stoughton in mine, Jim. Must excuse ignor ance, you know.” Then he rambled out, while Jim rammed the bottles back on the shelf, soused the tum blers in the rinser. “I have seen a good many men in my time, but for a first class star beat old Prestop can take the money.” A Mr. Beck ol Floyd county, in this State, being very much elated at the result of a suit against him in the county Court of that county, gave vent to his feelings by rnning a race w ith a Mr. Gossip. B’s horse ran over a hog in the road, which threw the horse down, and Beck, in falling struck violently against the ground. It was thought for a time, that he w r as killed, but he escaped with the dislocation of his shoulder blade, which was also broken in two places. The horse of Mr. Gossip ran over the prostrate horse of Mr. Beck, and threw the rider some fifteen feet, fortunately and maraeulously with out any serious injury to the rider. A queer way of rejoicing. Colonel Forney, in a late letter from London, gives some interest ing facts concerning the Peabody fund trustees for the poor of London. They have spent some $2,000,000, and have nearly $3,000,000 still remaining, and have erected blocks of model tenement houses in Blackfriars, Southwark, Bermondsey, Shadwell, Spitalfields, and Chelsea, which will accomodate about 1,400 poor families. The average rent of each dwpiling is about ninety-eight cents a w eek. A now invention by Sir David Solomons for preventing railway ac cidents, by an improved system of signalling, was exhibited in London the other day to a large number of engineers and inventors. It consists of an insulated rail laid beneath the four foot way, by means of which station masters can telegraph to a train while in motion, or one train can coooaauuicate with another.

Water is selling at 5 cents a bucket in portions of Charleston S. C. The jury in the case of Waddy Thompson failed to agree—standing nine for conviction and three for ac quittal. Should they fail to agree and be discharged, Thompson will have to lie in jail until the next term of the court, as horse stealing, with which he stands charged, is a capital offense An ice cream seller, in Savannah, contributed the sales of the day at his stand at an excursion, to the French sufferers by the late inundation—the amount was $41,65 The catch of mackerel has been light the past season, there will be an advance in the price On Sun day last there was a meeting of 10,- 000 persons held in Hyde Park,Lon don,in favor of amnesty to the Fenian convicts Ruffians throw poisoned bread into yards in Amerieus, to kill dogs ; but miss it and kill Shang hai chickens instead Memphis Tenn., numbers among its curiosities a young lady who says she doesen’t want any jewelry, hasn’t a looking glass in the house, and would’nt take a silk dress for a gift; and a cross eyed cat In Eatonton they lar rup thieves when caught stealing— ripht A luu otwl nlnn • \\T ~ uness over again. Judge Morris, Tilton’s lawyer, has served a notice on Messrs. Sherman & Sterling, at torneys of record for Rev. H. W. Beecher, to be prepared to answer in anew trial on the first Monday in September. Mr. Morris says they have some evidence, and he thinks they can try the case in 10 days A crop of 8,000,000 bushels of wheat and an unprecedented yield of corn, is predicted from Tennessee this year The faithful of Plymouth Church do not bleed so freely as it was supposed they would—the SBO,- 000 don’t come so easy as the sug gestors oi it thought. They now propose to raise the money by mort gaging the church The ex-Em peror Ferdinand left a fortune of $60,000,000 A life-saving brig ade of Newfoundland dogs has just been organized in Paris-for the pur pose of rescuing drowning persons from the Seine Eleven years ago a man in Troy, New T York took SSOO worth of Nevada min ing stock in payment of a debt which he could not collect any other way. The other day he received an offer of $30,000 for his share A desperate negro attempted to murder two ladies and a boy near Jacksonville Florida, a few- days ago, but the boy got hold of a gun and blew the lower part of of the darky’s jaw off and turned the tables on him A horse delib erately committed suicide in Pits burg, Va., a few’ days ago. The Liverpool Post doesn’t mind the victory won by the American Rifle Team, but objects to the Yan kees carrying of so much bullion from Ireland, “which that country can ill afford to lose.” It estimates the American winnings in bets at $150,000. Deaths by lightining are becom ing quite frequent. In almost every exchange we read of some person or persons being thus killed. The last ac count is of two men being struck and killed by the electric fluid, in Jones county—at Elam Church, about three miles from Clinton. This took place at a protracted meeting, to-day a week ago, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri are still deluged by rain. The Cincinnati Commercial of Tuesday says: “The country is soaked —the rivers are full—the grass is rank—the weeds are taking the corn—the wheat and barley are rot ting in the shock—the oats are beat en down and entangled, so that the difficulty of harvesting under any circumstances will be very great— and still the rains fall day after day, and each week the rainfall increases. This is without recent example in this climate, and the destruction of crops threatens to reach the propor tion? of a great public disaster.” Col. Mabry, a prominent lawyer of LaGrange, Ga., was thrown from his buggy, in that place, on the morning of the 4th instant, and very badly hurt, by striking his head against a rock. At last report he was still unconscious and his condi tion regarded as very critical. There was a very severe hail storm on the Coosa river, not far from Rome, on last Fiiday week. The stones were as large as ordinary sized hickory nuts. Some cotton fields, through which the storm extended “appeared as if they had been rid dled by mlnnie balls.” A well known Virginia mineralo gist gives it as his opinion that if the State were worked with the same skill California is, the profits on her gold fields, which extend her entire length, and are in some places forty miles wide, w T ould be as great in proportion as those of the gold-bear ing region of the latter State. The floods of the west are very destructive. The loss in central Illi nois is said to be over a million of dollars. The Wabash river is higher than it has been known since the settlement of the country*. The Wabash and Erie canal, between LaFayette and Fort Wayne, is com pletely’ destroyed. The Arkansas river is very high and on last Thursday still rising. Mr. M. D. Conaway lias the fol lowing bit of amusing gossip in his last letter from Loudon : “In the Ilam Hall (Staffordshire) collection of pictures, just sold at auction, one picture was designated as ‘Lafayette Signing the Declaration of Inde pendence of America,’ and it was stated to have been once in the pos sesion of Robespierre. It was a gen uine Freuze, and was bought by* Ag new for £100.” At a dinner given by a wealthy bachelor at Newport a few days since, covers were laid for twenty guests—ten ladies and ten gentlmen. The dinner was served in ten courses, and a separate wine for each course. The floral decorations of the table costs4oo,and during the dinner there was vocal and instrumental music by’ professional performers,who came from New York to regale the bril liant company-. A wonderful invention has been patented by the Victoria Printing Machine Company, in a machine which can turn out, ready for the reader, 4,000 copies of a work contain ing twenty-four pages, bound to gether without any manipulative aid, r riie machine has cost ahout £4,000, and requires no “feeding,” as it regulates its own supply, taking in a sheet at one end, and in less than a second ejected it at the other printed and with the pages stitched together, and ready for the book seller ! A REMARKABLE OPERATION. &UK4V4U4M Vv *>•- Cl ~ [From the Grenada (Miss.) Sentinel.] Dr. W. E. Rogers who, as a sur geon, stands at the head of the pro fession in the South, performed an operation in Memphis last week Uiat has developed one of the most remarkable results known in the medical fraternity. lie was called in, at a house on DeSoto street, to ex tract a stone from the bladder of a young man 18 years old, named Jeptlia Walker. The doctor having successfully taken out, the stone, which is about the size of a large guinea-egg, composed of carbonate of lime, left the patient in good spirits, doing well. Some days after the nurse while dressing the wound of the young man, saw' something protruding from it, which she gave to Dr. Rogers on his next visit. On examination this proved to be the bone of an infant. Since then the physical! has extracted several bones, among which are part of both bones of the thigh, one of the leg, of each arm, and one hip bone and last Tuesday another was taken out belonging to another part of the body. The nurse stated that she ex tracted many more hones, hut not knowing their value, she threw them away. The patient is doing very well, and is expected to he soon res tored to good health. This is the first case of the kind, we believe, that has occurred in this part of the country. But medical works recount where several such phenomena have taken place ; and the same authori ties explain upon a very plausible; theory how such things can happen. Some incredulous doctors, whose vocation should have been that of third-class scullions, have doubted the word of Dr. Rogers in this matter. But the doctor has shown us the bones and the stone, and told us that his oneration was attended with the above results. As far as Dr. Rogers, character isjeon cerned,suffice it to say that he is well known throughout the Southern States as a surgeon whose ability is unsurpassed by any one in this part of the country, and is regareded as a gentleman who would, under no consideration, degrade his profes sion by imposture. A North Carolina Tar-Heel dis covered the reason of Sam Bard’s re moval, A Republican acquaintance of the editor ofthe Charlotte Observ er met the ex-governor of Idaho and late p. m., and after breaking a bot tle or two, the subject turned on his (Bard’s) removal from the Postmas tership of Atlanta. The blind Bard vowed that he could conceive no earthly reason for his removal; that he could imagine no motive which could have induced the Postmaster General to treat him so. ‘ ‘Why,” said he, “I was never wanting in attention to him. I always wrote to him once and sometimes twice a week.” “But,” said his Republican friend, “perhaps he took offense at something in one of your letters.” “Oh ! no,” said Bard, “that was im possible. I wrote him the right kind of letters. I announced myself squarely in favor of a third term.” “Well,” said his friend, ‘l’m not sur prised at your removal; for Post master General Jewell is himself a prominent candidate for the Repub lican nomination for President.” “The d—l you say,” replied the Bard, “I never thought of that !”—Avgnsta , Ormsti tut ion a tv*t. HARD BEDS I’OR WHEAT PLANTS. In visiting an excellent farmer last j summer he took me to the wheat- : field, and pointed out a strip, three | or four rods wide, where the grain ! was decidedly stronger and thicker on tne ground than the rest ol the field. “There,” said he, “what do you suppose makes that difference V ’ Hazarding a guess, 1 said there was probably an underdrain there. “No,” said he, “that is the road wav, across which I drew manure to the' next field last fall. As the ground was plowed, I did not make one narrow rode the width of a wag on, bnt the teams went back and fourth over a strip three or four rods wide. At sowing time it was almost impossible to get any mellow’ earth over this roadway, and the wheat ‘drilled in,’ was little more than half covered. It did not look so well last fall, but now (this was last June), as you see, it is decidedly superier.” The neighbor referred to, attribu ted the superiority to the ground be ing so hard that moisture did not penetrate it? and hence it was less liable to heave and the wheat to winter-kill. It is a fact that this hard-packed soil produced fully twice as large a wheat crop as that adjoining, with no other difference in preparation or manuring to ac count for it. The Tribulations or Plym outh Church.— Failing to raise by subscription the money necessary to make good the increase of Brother Beecher’s salary to SIOO,OOO, so promptly and exultantly voted by the Plymouth Society at the close of the late trial, it is now proposed .to mortgage Plymouth Church for the additional SBO,OOO. The St. Louis Republican thinks this is the proper way to raise the wind. It says: “Plymouth Church has got almost everything else on it except a mort gage, and the sooner that adornment is supplied the better. Still when the cause of outraged innocence re quires a mortgage for its assistance, the inevitable inference is either that the cause is painfully weak or the champions of it painfully poor. Whichever inference is accepted, it rather tends to take the feathers off of “the great moral victory.” We would not now be surprised to learn that further proceedings to raise the money for the increased sal ary had been postponed until after the new trial which is to take place, with new and important testimony in favor of the plaintiff, in Septem ber.—Savannah JVews. The Supreme Court of Texas has been calld on to decide the familiar point that a promise in writing to pay a certain sum of money“at the earliest possible moment” is not a promissory note. A Chicago alderman tried for three hours to think of George Wash ington’s last name, but he couldn’t do it. He said he knew it was George, and that ho bad something to do with the Mexican war, hut he couldn’t remember further. Look here Capting,” said a colored lawyer to a brother darkey in Mont gomery the other day, “I know you are a Republican.” “Golly,” was the reply, “no I aint, Judge, dis dar key kin read.” Mr. R. I). Widding, who lives on the Warrior river, West of Greens boro, has a pumpkin vine that covers an acre and a quarter of land. Though but two weeks old, it has pumpkins on it that weigh twenty five pounds. itruLin c r io _ her seducer, with a pistol, coming within an inch of putting a bull. t into his head, has been fined a dollar for “careless use of firearms.” She ought to have been fined SIOOO for not killing him. It is rather against the Keely mo tor that no application for a patent lias been filed at Washington, and not so much as a cai'eat issued. The Chicago Tribune says the officers of the Patent Office believe Keelv’s motor to be a humbug. A father fearing an earthquake in the region of his home, sent his two boys to a distant friend’s until the peril should be over. A few weeks after the father received this letter* from his friend ; “Please take your boys home and send down the earth quake.” A plain diet develops the miscular power to a remarkable degree. The strongest man we have encountered for a long time was an Irish gen tleman, who, entering a Tremont street horse car last Wednessday, af ter a light breakfast on corned 'beef, cabbage,onions and a pint of whisky emptied the car and ten passengers in thirty seconds.—Boston Commer cial Bulletin. “Well, Uncle Billy, don’t you want any more Civil Rights?” “Not anything mo,’ I thank you,” replied Billy. “Nearly done ruined now. llev to pay my own doctor’s bill, lost all my money in the Freed man’s Bank, never got no4o acres an’ de mule dey promised me, an’ can’t help myself to a little chicken, fryin’ size, without gvvine to de penitentia ry. Use got ‘nuff eibbil rights!” I believe the best mulch of straw beirics is straw, pure and simple, the coarser the better, and the ma nure such as I describe, but they should be applied separately. Any thing which will lay up light, ie tain moisture without becoming mouldy, retain \varmth and keep out cold, and maintain an intermediate temperature between the earth and the atmosphere, makes a good mulch. It must also allow some air space or it will defeat itself.— Cor. JRural World. MOODY AND SAKXEY. Moody and Sankey, who have got ten up, perhaps the greatest religious revival in England, that has ever been experienced in modern times, have concluded their series of meet ings, and held their farewell services in London, on the 27th inst. At their last meeting, there was one hundred and eighty-eight ministers of the Church of England present, besides those of other denominations. Mr. Moody, while delivering his far well address, was so overcome with emotion that he was forced to sus pend before he had concluded his address. The following is the number of meetings held by Messrs. Moody and Sankey in London during the past four months, with the aggregate ad attendance. In Camberwell, sixty meetings, attended by 480,000 people, in Victo ria, forty-five meetings, attended by 40,000: in the Opera hoti.se, sixty meetings, attended by 600,000, and in the Agricultural hall, sixty meet ings, attended by 720,000.
