They are not fuily aware of the iuestimable blessings of that wonderful work of Radicalism Let us throw a lit tle light upon this subject. From a book entitled •* Register of Officers and Agents.

His age could uot have been above eighteen. Several gentlemen, anxious to know who the stranger could be, and taking him for an escaped lunatic, went to hint and asked him the meaning-of his unac countable demonstrations, but he made short replies in a husky tone of voice to the effect that he was in trouble, weary of life, and determined to put himself out of the world, in one way or auothcr, be fore another twenty-four hours. They attempted to dissuade him from his pur pose, but failed to move him, and believ ing he would get over his “ fit,” as a good many young men had recovered from the same complaint, they left him. Nothing more has been seen of the poor fellow. YTsterday morning some fishermen discovered a skiff moored to the island, and fastened to the chaiu of the boat they found a piece of flat rock with a number of zig zag capital letters scrawled upon it, apparently with a pin. On one side of the rock appeared these words: Good By FOREVER 1 was born in Walk County Georgy cr On the 10th of Novem ber I AM NO MORE OF EARTH. Yours, forever, H. W. E. On the other side of the rock were scrawled in large letters the words: I AM IN TROUBLE. This was all. There was nothing what ever beyond the initials to indicate who the author could be, or what had become of him. The scrawls had evidently been made within a very short time, and were very light. On inquiry being made, the story of the appearance of a stranger on the island the day before, and his curious demeanor, was told, and it was finally concluded that the unfortunate young man had wiitten this as-his farewell to a world he had not courage to live iu. Whether he carried out his declared purpose is still a mystery, and must remain in doubt un- ti good and thev. to get through my trouble, and have npver taken advantage of a bankrupt law yet.” He evidently had some feeling on this to victory—cause the impostors to fly as ! subject, and I asked him his \iews on the the feathers before the wind, and let this I baukrupt iaw.

'Ihe following letter is withoot date, the whole being written in cipher, except the poetry : “Dearest ! I arrived at this place by private conveyance in company with oth er gentlemen to-day.

The trip will consume prob ably ten days. When you come give yourself as mneh time as possible. I hope Capt.

J. H. Martin. C«»l. Martin desiring to secure Joseph E Brown’s autograph, wrote to that in dividual ou pretended business and re ceived the following reply: Milledgeville, Nov. 30, 1865. “Col. Jas. H. Martin—Sir : I have no knowledge of any of the transactions referred to in your letter. Very respect fully, Ac, Joseph E. Brown.” Col. Martin writes on the back of these letters as follows: “The alphabet is the one used by Mur rell and Copeland, the land pirates. So says Copeland in his confession. You are at liberty to use these papers. Geor gians say, that they believe Brown the writer—though he made an effort to dis guise his hand.” As stated the two letters written to Mrs. Martin, and imputed to Brown, are written mostly in cipher. A comparison of the stvle of handwriting of letters establishes the fact that they are all writ ten by Joseph E. Bruwn, and there can be uo hoax in the matter.
