RICHARDSON & Cos., .Publishers' Agents, 111 Bay St., Savannah, Ga., Are authorized to contract for advertising in our paper. Wright, Hoyt & Cos., hat and cap trmming factory, of New York,have failed for $750,000. A special to the London Times says the Queen of Holland is in a precarious condition. A distinct shock of earthquake, ac companied by a dull, rumbling sound,was felt at Manhattan,Kansas, on the 9th inst. A terrible tornado passed over the town of Wei born,Fl a., on the sth in stant, tearing down houses, fences, trees, etc., destroying much property and killing some people. Colonel Johnson, of Dalton, made a beautiful temperance speech the night before the municipal election — “restriction” vs. “no restriction” — and the restriction ticket was elected by more than two to one. A little German girl in a public school of New York was told to put year in a sentence. After a moment’s reflection she answered: “Last year my sister was married: This year she has a baby.” Esten Cook in his life of Jackson and Pollard in his history of the war, says that Bee said: “Look! “ There is Jackson standing like a stone-wall .” These words are inscribed on the pe destal of Foley’s statute of Jackson, and may be accepted as Bee’s words at Manassas. A gentleman and his daughter, in Port Gibson, Miss., have taken out a patent for a means of knitting four stockings at one time, with one set of needies. When the socks or stock ings, are finished, they are simply drawn out of each other,in a finished condition. This almost vies with the knitting machine. A tailor at Liverpool, named Banks,has been arrested for attempt ing to drown his three children. He was in the act of throwing one of them into the river, and said that he was going to give them to the Lord. He appeared to be working under religious excitement. The oldest child was seven and the j luree years old. Dr. Glenn, of Colusa county, Cal., owns a ranch containing nearly 45,- 000 acres having a frontage of eigh teen miles on the Sacramento river, and extending back five miles. Up on the property are 140 miles of fenc ing. Two tenants cultivate 10,000 acres each ; one, C. W. Hoog, expects to raise 180,000 bushels of w T heat and barley this season. A hill-climbing engine was lately exhibited in France. It is claimed to be especially adapted to carry great weights up an incline. This engine lias no wheels, but is furnished with six legs, three in front and three be hind, upon which it walks, runs or gallops. One of them at work on the Eastern railway, weighs ten tons, and runs from four to five miles an hour, and can run twelve and one half miles if aesired. Capt. R. A. Torry, of the 12th in fantry, commanding the post at Vicksburg, has notified the Sheriff of Warren county, Miss., that he is ready to surrender private Henry L. Johnson, who some days since shot and killed Tobias Burke. This looks as if the civil law' had some rights the military was bound to respect, and coming upon the heels of the Democratic victory in Mississippi, argurs well for the future. “My young colored friend,” said an army chaplain to a young negro, “can you read?” Yes, sah.” “Glad to hear it,” said the chaplain. Shall I give you a paper?” “Sartinpnassa, ii you please.” “Very good,”contin ued the chaplain, “what paper would you choose, now?” “Well, massa,” said the meditating negro, “If you please, I’ll take a paper o’ terbacker.” The noted flag that waved over Fort McHenry, at Baltimore in Sep tember, 1814, during the British bombardment, and which suggested io Key the composition of “The Star Spangled Banner,” is now on board theTallapoosa,which is lying at Ports mouth. It is badly torn, and has thirteen stars, it is owned by Mrs. Georg?anna Asmistead Appleton, of Boston, daughter of Col. Armstead, commander of the fort at the time. It is to be exhibited at the Centen nial. Three negro children, aged three, four and six years, were burned to death on the place of Mr. Winston Eberhart, in the seventeenth district of Coweta, on the 2d inst. The pa rents had gone off some three miles to pick cotton, and had left the chil dren alone. The building is suppos ed to have been set on fire by their caielessness, or accidental Iv. Four W i GI ? present, and strange to saj, failed to rescue them from the burning building. TRAINED JOURNALIST. j Yeunaa Star.] Mr. A. Marschalk, who is about to start a newspaper at Cartersville call ed the Planters' Advocate , was liter ally born in a printing office and cradled on an old-fashioned press. He told us the tale as related to him by his parents. He is a man near fifty years of age, an excellent and well educated printer and a reliable, truthful man. He says fifty years ago his father was a poor man, just married, and had got hold of a little type and an old press of the most primitive kind and got a room to put it up in. His wife lived in the office with him, did the cooking and wash ing there and helped him at the case and press. He had no other assis tance, and very little furniture, one bed, a couple of chairs, a skillet and oven, and a little table furniture. Mrs. Marschalk’s confinement was premature, and the infant was wrap ped in its swaddling clothes and laid on the bed of the press, as there was no other place to put it. The boy was raised up a printer and received no education whatever, except from his parents, and the types. He says his father had forty subscribers and four exchanges. The subscribers paid mostly in provisions, and the family relied upon the legal advertising of the county and an occasional job for money to buy their clothing and pay for house rent,and yet they got along first-rate, and the Marschalks were useful and valuable members of socie ty. This article Is very far from being a statement of facts. In the first place, we told Fitch nothing, and spoke to him only once, and then but to answer a point blank question, when upon the Press excursion last July—the only time we ever met. We did tell Col. Christy a portion of our early history, which, in his usual gentlemanly and truthful way, he embodied in an editorial for his pa per, but we held no converse what ever with Fitch, who was drunk and disagreable. The Atlanta Constitution has our thanks for copying that portion of Fitch’s article which he seems to have intended as a personal reflection and ridicule. We have a hope,how ever,that neither Hemphill nor Clark knew of its intended publication. We care not for any statement made by this drunken imbecile Fitch,who, for some unknown cause, seeks to fix a stigma upon the honored name of our deceased parents, but, because his article has been copied into more than one other newspaper, we deem it necessary to correct the erro neous impressions which have been conveyed by it. At the time of our birth, in \Bl7 —which was not, as Fitch says, premature our father had been for years publish ing a newspaper in Natchez, was the owner of seven or eight negroes, a neat little cotton plantation and some city property, and it was a matter of taste, rather than necesity, that he had his printing office and family residence in the same house. Our rn a4-V> r>M rl I -1 L- - ' r x c another, and never assisted him in his office. At that time he had two apprentices J. K. Cook and Sid. Cal ender. The first named became a prominent man of Mississippi, while the second died in harness in Bay’s job office in New Orleans, since the war. On our sth birth-day—June 5,1822 —we were sent to school. From primary schools of the day we went to Washington College, Mississippi, subsequently to South Hanover, In diana—and this proves the falsity of Fitch’s statement about the educa tion received from the “pareuts and types.” We shall excuse this hero of the Borne Fair upon the presumption that he was just recovering from one of his “spells”and had the head-ache, was in a bad humor with himself and all mankind,and hence his attack upon an escutcheon honored so far above him or his antecedents. VICTORIA-NYANZA. Stanley, the courageous African explorer, has been heard from. Two letters from him were forwarded by Colonel Delbellfort,who left Ulagalla April 12 1875. The Colonel and thir ty-six of his soldiers were massacred on the route; but the letters were af terwards found among the slain, stained with blood. Stanley says he has thoroughly explored lake Victo ria Nyanza, and demonstrates the utility of that magnificent sheet of water. Livingstone was wrong in saying that lake Victoria Nyanza consisted of five lakes. The river Sherneya feeds lake Victoria Nyan za, and is the extreme source of the Nile yet found. Stanley had sever al conflicts w ith the slave dealers,and on one accasion he was attacked by a hundred natives armed with spears, iu thirteen canoes. He repulsed them after a severe fight, killing sev eral. King Nitesas, friendly to the explorer, received him with im mense demonstrations of honor. It is said that the German army is about to adopt an electric light for night signaling, which will use the clouds (when there are any) as a screen on which to project the sig nals. The apparatus was tried in Berlin recently, the light given be ing so powerful that ordinary wait ing could be read at the distance of one mile. The experiments were successful, and startled the people in the streets, who saw the signals in the heavens, but knew not whence they proceeded. Texas Productions. —Five cam els, foaled within twenty miles of Austin, were sold in that city last week for $l5O each. They w’ere five years old. Mr. Hemstead who rais ed them, can supply all the circusses in America. He proposes to rear ostriches and elephants,and is making preparations to receive Shetland po nies at his ranche. These especially flourish on Texas plains. SOUTH FLORIDA. SIXTH LETTER. I Editors Standard & Express : —ln this communication, I propose to speak of the soil, climate, produc tions and appearance of the country and character of the people. At the outset, I would say, that their can be no serious question as to the superi ority of the gulf to the Atlantic coast in the minds of candid people, both as to soil and climate. lam so well | satisfied of it, and that in two years the gulf coast will contain much more wealth and a greater population than the Atlantic coast, that I am going to make it my home at any rate. This gulf coast of South Flori da embraces most of Alachna, Ma rion, Hernando, and all of Levy, Hillsboro and Manatee counties, and presents many elevations surprising ly great to strangers. The streams in the counties above named, are not large, and generally have good cur rents. They rise, especially those of any length,such as the Hillsboro and Witlilacooche rivers, in shallow ponds, covered with wild lettuce, and at first run slowly. When the riv ers rise,the lettuce becomes detached and is born down in immense quan tities by the current. So great is the quantity sometimes carried down ; that the surface of the water is entire ly hid from view. When the water falls, this vegetable matter is left on the banks to rot, and it becomes very offensive, and is the fruitful source of sickness in the vicinity of these streams. There are other streams emptying into the Gulf, south of Ce dar Keys, but they are short and of no importance in any sense. I speak now of the country between Cedar Keys and Tampa. The soil seemed to be of the same general character throughout the country. The only difference I could perceive was that in some, as in the hammocks,a larger admixture of vegetable matter, and perhaps more undecomposed marl. In fact, the large bodies of ham mocks, I consider the remains of ancient coral reefs. A strickly clay soil does not exist in South Florida to my knowledge,and what clay there is appeared strongly calcareous. The whole of it pine and hammock con tains a large percentage of lime, and the poorest of it in appearance needs only vegetable matter to enable it to produce abundantly. Cut down the pines, and in a few years something like a hammock growth takes its place, and in time, by the accumula ! tion of vegetable matter, the land I will become a veritable hammock. |On the Alafia there are no ham | mocks, as in Hernando and Marion counties. There they are nothing more than what are known as bot toms along the bank of the river, tending more than a quarter of a mile from the river,sometimes low but I believe all drainable. There is no bet ter land in South or any other part of Florida than this pine land. The only advantage I could find in the hammock was that they would pro duce better, just cleared, than the pine. But for durability, etc., the pine lands are very superior. Of course their are grades of pine land not so many as some writers had led me to suppose. I saw some appar antly very poor, looking like a mass of white sand, but none so poor but that humus would not cause it to j blossom like a rose. The cow pea is at home on this soil (such looking land would not sprout peas here),and three crops can be raised and turned under a year. This would enrich the poorest land, enough to make 15,00 ft of sugar to the acre. It is also the ; best soil for oranges ; why, I know | not, unless it is dryer, i. e. affording better natural drainage. The differ erencein the land, iff my opinion, arises from the greater or less-quan tity of vegetable matter in it and its ! drainage. As to the climate, I would say that I passed the whole month of July and part of June and August on the Alafia river. I w T orked after walk ing two miles to my work,the whole of nearly every day, a thing I had never done in my life before. I gen erally got to my place wet to the knees, with walking through the dew. I never had a moments sick ness or even uneasiness during the time. I slept well, and had a good appetite. The hottest day I remem ber,the thermometer stood at eighty five degrees. I saw men working July and August(raen from Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama), at hard manual labor. They informed me that they had no more inconven ience in doing so than in their res pective States. On the other hand, old residents such as Capt. Leslie, in formed me that the climate was ener vatiug and one could not do the work that he could do in Georgia,hut lam free to say they did not prove it from their own cases, for I saw the Cap tain do harder work in his sugjir cane in August than I ever saw a North Georgia farmer do at the same season of the year in his field. I saw plenty of mosquitoes, no fleas, no sandflies and no gallinippers—fish plenty, and game scai’ce. In fact I was very agreeably surprised at the rarity of venimous reptiles. More rattlesnakes have been killed this summer within a quarter of a mile of my house,than I heard of in Hills boro county. The productions are sugar cane, cotton,corn, oats, potatoes, and starch. Pine land without green manuring or cowpenning, would not pay in any of these crops, unless perhaps in po tatoes or cassava lightly cowpeu ned or otherwise manured (and it has wonderful facilty of retaining ma nure),all these crops pay well; sugar, I think, a little better than the rest. It will rattoon from three to seven years. The people as a class, are I think, as good as anywhere. I never met greater kindness, and among perfect strangers, and it is a pleasure to me in this way to acknowledge the courtesy of Capt. Leslie, Col. Lockhart, Dr. Hackny and Mr. Moody. In concluding this too long communication, I would only say that Florida is no paradise ; that hard work is essential to prosperity there as elsewhere, and except the climate, it did not present to me any greater charms than middle South Carolina and Georgia. In this section of these two States, are as many elements of prosperity as any where on the face of the earth. The orange business, though having in it much of value, is vastly overrated. I think eight out of ten groves will prove failures for reasons which I have not time or space to enumerate. K. THE BEECHER SCANDLE. We are to have a second volume of this disreputable business. The Ply mouth membership are not quite sat isfied as to the guilt or innocence of their great moral tutor, and have ap pointed a committee to investigate the charges against him—to examine thoroughly into the matter. The New York Herald says: “What with the proposed appeal of Mrs. Moulton to the Congregation al Council, and the investigation soon to be opened by the Committee of the Congregational Ministers, there seems to be a gloomy certainty that a miserable business will again be ventilated before the public. It is claimed that this new Committee, if it really does take the matter in hand, will certainly examine Miss Tilton, Mr. and Mrs. Bichards, Miss Susan B. Anthony, and all other witnesses who have not had a full hearing be fore the Brooklyn City Court. It is understood the committee will not begin the investigation for a week or two.” Clark, of the Constitution , is com manding the Okefenokee expedition. He will write long letters of interest, while in the swamp, and they will be kept in type and printed in book form when he returns. We will have one of those books if we have to steal it, m mriill mi i■ ■ n New Advertisements.
