The President Message.
Washington, October, IG.—Fel
low Citizens of the Senate and
House of Representatives ; The ad
journment of the last Congress,
without making appropriations for
the support of the army tor the pres
ent, fiscal year, has rendered necessa
ry the suspension of payments to
the officers and men of sums due
them for services rendered after the
30th day of January last. The army
by virtue of statutes which pro
scribe its number, regulate its organ
ization and employment, and which
tix the pay of its officers and men,
and declare their right to receive the
same at stated periords. These stat
utes, however, do not authorize the
payment of troops in the absence of
specific appropriations, therefore, the
Constitution has wisely provided that
no money shall be drawn from the
Treasury but in consequence of ap
propriations made by law, and it has
also been declared by statute that no
department of the Government shall
expend in any one fiscal year a sum
in excess of appropriations made by
Congress for that fiscal year. We
have, therefore, an army in service
authorized by law and entitled to
be paid, but no funds available for
that purpose. It may also be said
as an additional incentive to pijpmpt
action by Congress, that since* the
commencement of the fiscal year, the
army, though without pay, has been
constantly and actively employed in
arduous and dangerous service, in
the performance of which both offi
cers and men have discharged their
duty with fidelity and courage, and
without complaint. These circum
stances, in my judgment, constitute
an extraordinary occasion requiring
that Congress be convened in advance
of the time prescribed by law for
your meeting in regular session.
The importance of speedy action on
the part of Congress is so manifest,
that I venture to suggest the proprie
ty of making the necessary appro
priations for the support of the ar
my for the current year, at its pre
sent maximum numerical strength of
25,000 men, leaving for future con
sideration all questions relating to in
crease or decrease of the number of
enlisted men. In the event of the re
duct ion of the army by subsequent
legislation, during the fiscal year the
excess of appropriation could not be
expended, and in the event of its en
largement, the additional sum re
quired for the payment of the extra
force could be provided in due time.
It would be unjust to the troops
now in the service, and whose pay
is already in arrears, if payment to
them should be further post poned nil
til after Congress shall have consid
ered all the questions likely to arise
in the effort to fix a proper limit to
the strength of the army.
Estimates of appropriations for the
support of the military establishment
for the fiscal year ending June 30tb,
18G8, were transmitted to Congress
by the former Secretary of the Treas
ury at the opening of its session ifito
December last. These est iunites mod
ified by the present Secretary, so as
conform to the present requirement,
are now renewed, amounting to $32,
436/794,98, and having been trans
mitted to both houses of Congress
are submitted for your consideration.
There is also required by the Na
vy Department $2,003,861.27. This
sum is made up ot $1,440, 688.19 due
to officers and enliste 1 men for the
last quarter of the last fiscal year,
$311,953.50 due to officers and en
listed men for the la-t quarter of the
last fiscal year, $311,953.50 due for
advances made by the fiscal agent ol
the government in London, for the
support of the foreign service, 850,-
000 due to the naval hospital fund,
$150,000 due for arrearage of pay to
officers, and $45,219,58 for the sup
port of the marine corps. There
will also be needed an appropriation
of $262,535,52 to defray the unset
tled expenses of the United States
Courts for the fiscal year ending
June 30th last, now due to attorneys
clerks, commissioners and marshals,
for rent of court rooms, support of
prisons and other deficiencies.
A part of the building of the In
terior Department was destroyed by
fire on the 24th of last month Some
immediate repairs unu temporary
structures have, in consequence, be
come necessary, estimates for which
THOM ASTON, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1877.
will he transmitted to Congress im
mediately, and an appropriation of
the requisite funds is respectfully
commended.
The Secretary of the Treasury will
communicate to Congress, in “con
nection with estimates for appro
priations tor the current fiscal year,
estimates for such other deficiencies
in the different branches oPthe pub
lic service as requires immediate ae*
tion, and cannot, without inconven
ience, be postponed until the regular
session.
1 take this opportunity also to in
vite your attention to the propriety
of adopting at your present session
necessary legislation to enable the
people of the United States to parti
cipate in the advantages of the In
ternational Exhibition of Agricul
ture, Industry and Fine Arts, which
is to be held in Paris in 1878, and
in which this government of France
to take part. This ‘invitation was
communicated to this government in
Mav, 1876, by the Minister of France
at this Capital, and a <eopy tnereof
submitted to the proper committees
of Congress at its last session, but
no action was taken upon the sub
ject. The Department of State has
received many letters from various
parts of the country expressinga de
sire to participate in the exhibition,
and numerous applications of a sim
ilar nature have also been made at
the l nited States Legation at Paris.
The Department of State has also re
ceived official advices of a strong de
sire on the part of the French gov
ernment that the United States
should participate in this enterprise,
and space has hitherto been, and is
still reserved, in the exhibition build
ings for the use of exhibitors of the
United States, to the •exclusion of
other parties who have been appli
cants therefor. In order that our in
dustries may be properly represen
ted at the exhibition an appropria
tion will be needed for the payment
of the salaries and expenses of com
missioners, for the transportation of
goods, and for other purposes in con
nection with the object m view, and
as May next is the time fixed for tin*
opening of tin* exhibition, if our cit
izens are to share the advantages of
this international competion for the
trade of other nations, the necessity
of immediate action is apparent. To
enabie us to co-operate in the inter
national exhibition which was held
in Vienna, m 1873, Congress then
passed a joint resolution making ap
propriation of $200,000, and author
izing the President to appoint a cer
tain number of practical artisans and
scientific men who should attend the
exhibition and report their proceed
ing, and observation to him. Pro
\ision was also made for the appoint
ment of a number of honorary com
missioners. I have felt that prompt
action by Congress in accepting the
invitation of the government of
France is of so much interest to the
people of this country, and so suita
ble to the cordial relations between
the governments of the two coun
tries, that the subject might proper
ly be presented for attention at your
present session.
The government of Sweden and
Norway has addressed an official in
vitation to this government to take
part in the international prison Con
gress to be held at Stockholm next
year. Tne problem which this Con
gress proposes to study how to dim
inish crime—is one in which all civ
ilized nations have an interest in
common, and the Congress of Stock
holm seems likely to prove the most
important convention ever held for
the study of this graye question.
Lender authority of the joint resolu
tion of Congress, approved Februa
ry 15th, 1873, a commissioner was
appointed by my predecessor to rep
resent the Linited States upon that
occasion, and the prison congress
having been, at the earnest desire of
the Swcedish government, postpon
ed to 1878, this commission was re
newed by me. An approppriation
of SB,OOO was made in the sundry
civil service act of 1875 to meet the
expenses of the commissioner. Ire
commend the reappropriation of that
sum for the same purpose, former ap
propriations having been covered in
to the treasury, and being no long
er available for that purpose with
out further action by Congress. The
subject is brought to your attention
at this time m view of the circum
stances which render it highly de
sirablcthat the commissioner should
proceed to the discharge of his im
portant duties immediately.
As the several acts of Congress,
providing for detailed reports from
the different departments of the gov
eminent require their submission at
the beginning of the regular annual
session, I defer until that time any
further reference to subjects of pub
lic interest.

A STRANGE INCIDENT IN TIIE CAREER
OF STOX EM'A LI. JACKSON—TH E VAIN
EFFORTS OK A NORTHERN RIFLE
MAN TO SLAY THE SILFNT HERO OF
MANASSAS—A STRANGE UEMiNIS
CEXCE OF THE WILDERNESS.
From the Detroit Free Press.
That was an awful day when that
Confederate Lon, Stonewall Jackson,
crept upon poor Hooker hidden in
the Wild erncas. Lee on one side—
Jackson on the other, and the woods
around Chancellorsvilie shook and
trembled, and were almost swept
from the face of the earth by the
whirring round shot, the hissing
shell and the rcreaming .rape-shot.
Men were struck stone dead as the
battle line advanced or retreated.
Whi to-faced recruits and bronze—
faced veterans were torn to fragments
and hurled against the living.
Wounded men fell in their tracks to
be crushed in the eaith by the great
limbs cut from trees by shot and shell
The roar of guns, the crackle of
musketry the fierce shouts and aw
ful groans made such a hell upon
earth of that battle-field as was ever
seen before or after.
Fighting Joe Hooker was in box
but not a man in his great army
dreamed tha* it was so until the long
gray line of Stonewall Jackson came
creeping through the quiet forest at
three o’clock on that ever to be re
membered 2d day of May, 18G3.
Light earth-works had been thrown
up to face the other way, towards
Lee. All lines faced Lee, all men
were looking Lee, when three divi
sions of Confederates, moving with
soft step, took Hooker’s army in the
rear and drove one brigade pel 1 mcll
into and over another until veteran
soldiers were without strength or
presence of mind. That awful night
when
THE WOUNDED WERE BEING BURIED
ALIVE
in the woods, and the dead were
thicker than the leaves just broaden
ing in the full life, a report ran
through the recognized ranks that
the great Stonewall Jackson had
been killed. Thousands believed it,
but three of us, lying side by side in
the new battle line born after night
came down, put no faith in the ru
mor. Why we did not is what I
started to write about.
Stuart's cavalry had been follow
ing up Hooker’s army, but it was not
like a rat following in the footsteps of
a horse. Lee was so far away, and
coining up so slowly that Hooker
had time to throw up light earth
works, seize the best ground, fell
trees to protect Lis flanks, and make
ready to shatter and hurl back tli e
expected attack. On the second day
of May his soldiers, hidden in the
woods or lying in the fields, washed
their clothing wrote letters home
made comfortable beds for themselves
and were not in the least trouble
about wluit an other week would
bring forth, as a deep river suddenly
bends to avoid a bluff, so did that
great army of Lee’s bend to avoid
the Wilderness. It split in two to
attack at a given our on both sides,
and Hooker sat in his tent and con
gratulated himself on his impregna
ble position—considered impregnable
by him when two great highways ran
along the rear of half of his army.
8o universal was the feeling of sccur
ity that soon after noon three infan
trymen started out to
BEG, BUY OR FORAGE FOOD.
Sigel’s crop was on Hooker’s ivest
Hank, and commanded that day by
Howard. Part of this crops faced
the old turnpike and plank road,
part faced the other way. Most of
the men were hidden m the woods
and behind ridges, and up the broad
highways which should have been
firrt looked to Stuart was pushing
his cavalry men as skirmishers. We
three men were beyond Sigcl,s crops
and on the point of entering a farm
house from which everybody had
lied, when, less than riilo-shot away,
ive caught sight of the Confederate
advance. The cavalrymen advanc
ing slowly, evidently expecting to
find a heavy guard at some point,
hut at the time we imagined that
less than a regiment of Stuart’s men
were feeling along up to pick up
straglcrs, locate positions, e it. We
at least did not fear them, and the
proposition to enter the house and
secure a better view of the roads spee
dily conveyed us to a chamber win
dow. We could see but little more
from that post, but we did see, soon
after reaching it,
THAT SAME STONEWALL JACKSON
from shelter out upon the turnpike
in full view* attended only by two or
four officers. He had come out to
make observations. Like a cat be
fore she destroys the mouse, be
was wondering at what point he
should strike to disable his yictem
soonest.
Grim-minded, and sour-tempered
was the third man of us, and war’s
horrors delighted, him. When he
had taken the second look at the lit
tle party sitting their horses in the
open road, a wicked smile crossed
his face, and he whispered:
“By the hundred gods of the hea
then! but that chap there on the left
there is old Stonewall Jackson, and
I’m going to drop him! ’
Old Pete, our sour-tempered com
panion had a first-class Minie rifle
with him. He had carried it for
several months, some way escaping
the attention of the inspector, and
in some way always secured amuni—
tion for it. I saw him, in at least
in half dozen instances, shoot down
videtts or skirmishers who seemed to
ibe half a mile away, and he was
I known fro lgiiout the regiment as a
I dead :h. t.
Th re was considerable firing
| around us fiom foragers, straglers
and men cK-a ling their guns, and a
shot from the window might not at
tract peculiar attention. Resting
the heavy guns across the* window
sill, and having as steals - re t as
hunter ever asked for. “Old Pete’’
was ready to keep his word.
FT SEEMED LIKE COLD-BLOODED AS
SASSINATION.
I could almost count the buttons
on Jackson,B coat and there see me 1
no escape for him. 1 was watching
him when the rifle cracked. lie
had a field-glass to his eye, and the
only movement we could see was a
quick morion of the head, as if the
bullet had cut close to his ear. The
glass not even lowered. “Old
Pete’’ swore a terrible long strum
of oaths as lie realized his failure,
but in a minute was ready again.
“1 l*n>e never to draw another
breath if I don't kill him stone dead!’’
he muttered ns he knelt down. Jack
son did not face us as before, yet was
a good mark for a musket. We
watched him as before, and this time
the bullet must have swept past his
face, as he dodged his head back
wards. The glass was down then,
but he raised it in a.i instant and
went on with his survey.
“Have I got to be a fool? or have
I grown blind?” howled “Old Pete,”
as he looked down upon his unharm
ed victem. I’ll kill him this tune,
or shoot myself in this chamber?”
It was dangerous to remain there
longer, as the cavalry had crept near
er and Jackson's aides seemed to
have got the idea that a sharpshoot
er was posted near by. Yet “Old
Pete” would have had a third shot
if the Confederates had been in the
house.
TI r E TARGET WAS AS FAIR AS BE
FORE.
He took a more careful aim, and
yet when he fired he saw splinters lly
from a railway over beyond the Gen
eral. The cavalrymen were tnen up
on us, and our two muskets were lost
in the hurried flight from the house.
Half an hour after that Jackson was
driving our brigades and divisions as
he willed.
“I'll measure of the same distance
shoot off-hand, and bet my life
that I can hit a soldier’s cap nine
times out of ten!” growled “Old
Pete” as he hurried forward, and
suddenly overcome bv indignation
and chagriu lie battered bis cher
ished guu against a tree and destroy
ed it.
As if seeking personal revenge,
Jackson’s legions passed right by us.
The nearest brigade of JSigel’s crops
was picked up and dashed to pieces
as u strong men would lift and hurl
a child. Running along with the
amazed and frightened men, but
bearing off towards our own division
we picked up other muskets to re
place our lost ones. Reaching a
knoll from which we had another
view of the turnpike, we halted for
a last look, over the heads of the
frightened fleeing soldiers—over the
ground strewn with arms and accou
trements —over the blue smoke just
beginning to rise.
M E SAM' JACKSON AGAIN.
He was far away, but it was Jack
son.
“Curse him! but he ha? got a guar
dian angel,” howled Old Pete as
he shook his first toward the turn
pike-
No other man ever had a ride
drawn on him at such fair range and
escaped three cool, carefully aimed
bullets. Ills escape sent a thrill of
supersticion through each mind, and
from that hour to this moment,when
the news of Jackson’s death reached
us, “old Pete” never spoke a word.
It, was a puzzle that he could never
solve. As we lay in line, every mus
ket barrel still hot, and every eye
peering through darkness to catch
sight of the gray lide coming again,
an aide came hurrying along and
shouted out:
“We’re all right boys; Stonewall
Jackson lias been killed up the road
there.”
“Old Pete” leaped up, whirled
around to face the bearer of the news
and savagely shouted buck:
“You lie? you lie! you he! Stone
wall Jackson can’t be hurt by shell
or killled by bullet!’’
BUT IT WAS SO.
Lving in the arms of those who
loved him so near us that the cries
of our wounded must have reached
his ears, was the mortally wounded
General, whose skill and strength
had no match. \\ bile the white
faced dead looked up to the torn
and shattered forest trees —while the
wounded crawled here and there in
their awful agony—while the living
looked into each other’
anxious faces and wondered
if another night would tind any
of us there, the legions of Jack-son
were strangely silent. Now and
then came the sudden boom of some
great gun, sounding like a deep
groan of despair, but there was noth
ing more to break the silence. \\ bile
men rested m the line of battle, hav
ing the awful horror of war on every
side there was one who gave up his
life as he whispered, “Let us pass
over the river and rest under the
shade of the trees. ”
Men who cau’t tcH a rutabagaa

American Opium Habit Cure, and ho happily re

but now are free, as well as to those w .o have never
been subject to the tyranny of the drug I would say
beware of the seductive influence of this terrible

A SUMMING UP.
I wish to call special attention to the fact that in
this paper I give you what the Btat* Chemist says
of my remedy ; what those say who have tried it
upon themselves , tb.P among these are physicians,
ministers and others, males and females. I also, for
the benefit of those who do not know me personally,
give a few extracts from the press referring to m>
personal character. Can Ido or say more ! If so,
write me and suggest, and if in the bounds of rea
son, consistent with equitable rub s of business, and
in my power, “within the length of my cable tow,’-
I \vi’’ try to satisfy.

[From the Atlanta Daily Constitution, July 4, 1874.]
There is no point t hat a newspaper should more
sacredly guard, o- that carries more responsibility
with it than its recommendation of articles adver
tised in its ccluirms. What is often a merely care
less or i 1-ad vised “puff” misleads thousand of read
ers, who, taking it for a deliberate endorsement of
the arti-de advertised, are zed into purchasing what
is really worthless, or worse than worthless.
ESPECIALLY OUIMINAL IS THIS PRACTICE.
of underserved puffery, where the article advertised
is one upon the worthless of which depends the
health, life and happiness of the person who tries it.
No more reprehensible crime can lie committed
than that of giving the commendation of a great
journal to a quack mediciue or treatment, that will
not only fail to give the relief it d-ludes the patent
into hoping for, but will even fill his system with
poison and bring him to his grave.
The Constitution is fully aware of the responsi
bility that rests upon the endorsement of a medicine
upon which depends the health and even lives of
many of i's readers. It would not lead the hum
blest of them to devote their money to the pur
chase of a trifling nostrum, and wreck their lives in
the delusion that they are curing themselves. We
do not hesitate however, to endorse to those who
need such u thing, as the
AMERICAN OPIUM ANTIDOTE,
advertised by Mr. B. M. Woolley, of this city We
have exhausted every possible means of determin
ing its efficacy, except the one test of a personal tri
al. Mr. Woolleys has been selling it for some time,
and has, of course, received thousands of letters di
rect from parties who are using it. We spent a
morning with these letters, selecting specimens at
random from the mass that was submitted to our
inspection, such as the authors of them would per
mit to be examined this way. Mr. W. was quite
particular, on th ; s point, and* he said manv letters
were perfectly sacr-diy private. We tound that
they come from all the States of the Union—from
men in high position and men of no position at all
from physicians, scholars, women and unlearned
ruen—’ rom all sorts of people, in fact. The stories
told in those letters are truly wonderful. They re
cord almost unanimously cures effected in a mar
velously short time, and with permanent effect.
THEIR UTTER S NORITY AND TKUTHFCLNEBS
cannot be doubted. They come direct from person
who testify of the f r own krowledge and experience.
They are tilled with an express! >n of gratitude that
is as honest, as it must bg pie sant to Mr. Woolley.
The record they contain is, as we have sai 1 before,
tru y wonderful. If the e letters could be publish
ed to-day, they would convince beyond cavil, any
man. woman or child, that is •offering from this
terrible habit. Many of them give tin- story of of
ten repeated trials of nostrums advertised to per
form. the record of failure, disappointment, crush
ed hopes, sometimes death, resulting from the use
of their preparation, is truly sickening. We left
Mr. Woolley’s room after reading a score or so of
the letters he submitted to us. feeling perfectly safe
in endorsing to the last degree the marvellous An
tidote that he is offering to the world.
A STILL STRONGER PROOF.
But if the above did not satisfy any one, Mr.
Woolley offers still another proof— a proof that is
simply perfect.
There are certain so-called chemists throughout
the country whose knowledge is limited, whose pre
tensions are false, and whose en lorsement ran le
purchased witn a small sum of money These quacks
are often resorted to by medicine vendors, and their
endorsement paraded, with a string of titles to
which they are not ent.ted, of a preparation Of
which they know nothiug.
Mr. Woolley*, confident of the virtues of his Anti
dote, and scorning such methods as this, did not
pursue such a course, but going directly to the best
and moat famous chemist in the South, laid his An
tidote before him. Prof. W. J, Land, the chemist
consulted, is a man whose name is familiar to scien
tist everywhere in America and is respected in Eu
rope. His learning is profound. This the State
chemist. All the money in the world could not buy
of him a false opinion. He is an earnest, devoted,
ssonsciention scholar, and a gentleman without re
proach. Read what he says of this Antidote :
WHAT PROF. W. J. LAND, GEORG’V STATE CHEMIST.
SAYS I
Atlanta, Oa., July 36, 1870.
This will certify that I have made a through ehem
leal examination of several of the best “Opium An
tidotes” now offered to the public, and among these
a superior preparation submitted by Captain B. M
Woolley, of this city. The latter Antidote I find
equal—and in some respects, superior—to any which
I have aualyzed. Indeed, I have been agreeably
surpsised at the excellence of this preparation It
is compounded in a scientific manner, and is a per
fect cure for the “opium habit,” where the direc
tions are duly observed by the patient. The numer
ous cures which he has made leave no doubt on this
point ; hence, I do not hesitate in recommending
his article to the afflicted. Captain W deserves cred
it for the ingenuity and perseverance displayed in
getting up the b**t remedy of this class.
Most respectfully, Wm. J. Land,
Analytical Chemist.
But beyond all this
mb. Woolley’s personal Charac er
is such as to give confidence to those who need the
medicine he advertises. He is a man of unques
tioned character.
There • * not him: of the impostor, or the ea *eless
man about h ; m. He is honest, sincere, and fully ac
quainted with the .übject be treats. He would not
mislead any man living. We have known him for
years, and have found him always a high-ton“d,
honorable man. His w ord is good with those who
know him.

PalleiMiiix < ase.
Last week, the c.isc of South Car
olina, Vs. John J. Patterson, was
called. The defense, as stated in the
pleadings, rests on the following
grounds:
1. That Hampton is not Governor.
2. There was no legal court, no legal
grand jury and duly elected Judges.
3. That the Chief Justice, Williard,
who ordered the special term, was
not the legal Chief Justice. 4. That
the General Assembly which appoin
ted the Committee of investigation
was illegal. 5. That Chief Justice
Willard. Judge Kershaw aid the
grand jury conspired against the
rights and liberties of Patterson, and
that the indictments were the result
of the conspiracy 0 r i hat he was not
a fugitive from justic, 7. That the
Constitution only allowed a S;a;e to
demand a fugitive from a State, and
that the District of Columbia, not be
big a State, the Constitution did
not apply, and the act of Congress,
authorizing the Chief Justice to sur
render fugitives. was unconstitution
al and void.
There is not a single ground that
has any merit. They are purely lech
nical and we doubt not that the tral
will so declare. Owing to the length
of time necessary to try the case and
the engagements of the cour* the tri
al was set down for the 3ist.
