A |>Ul bit toe# introduced into Congress m*
king it nalawfiil after the first of October IStiC,
fat flay person or cwporation to have is poeses
t urn any bom], till or evidene* of debt, or |»r, to
1 e to pay iesued by tb* Government of the late
Confederal* Stater, und#.-Ibn penalty of 81,000.
Vi’n bopn ©nr people will take due notice of tlie
act, if it passes, and at once eOndgn to the flame*
those pretty fire boar J» and work boles manufac
tured of Confederate bills, and those pilae of
bonds and collections of the various issues of
Treasury notes which some of theitf are keeping
to bequeath aa a a tort of ntemerito mori to their
children.
Some people io Congress seem to ha refy ap
prehensive that if the South gets back Into the
Union, strenuous efforts wilt be made to induce
or coqpd tbo Federal Government (o pay the
Confederate debt, and to this end, every one of
th« proposed schemes ot ftconstrucliou contains
a provision that no part of said debt shall ever
be paid. To make the thing dead sure we sup
paste, this law, to render pebul the possession of
of|j|M promises of the Confederate Government,
ft proposed. If the holder* of the bonds and
bills can be oorapelled to destroy them, there Is
an end of the question forever and the Federal
Government will rest easy.
Wo think it need have been under no appre
hension. Before the Oocfcdoate Treasury closed
ita business, its best friends bad given it up as
hopelessly bankrupt So human being knew
bow much ita indebtedness was, but that U was
millions more than the people con Id ever pay,
every man, coosereant with the subject knew.
Aa to the amount of Confederate currency in
cferalation, Bill Arp says (and he is good author,
'ty—a tnu Mill) that Ur. Mrunisosa lost his ac
count book at one of the big scares in Richmond
ind afterward,), when asked how much Goofed
erate money ha thought was in circulation, said
ha had not charged his memory particularly, but
according to his recollection there was sic Kun-
Irad million! or lie tftouatind million* —he disrc
ntembered which I Like all of Bill’* jokes this
hsd a large infusion of truth in it, for besides that
which fra* legitimately issued, onr neighbors tip
North benevolently labored to make money
plenty sin-mg us by extenrivety counterfeiting
Confederate currofcy, »nd few people could tel!
the counterfeit from the genuine—wo doubt if
Mr. Mmmxosn himself could, Aa we said ho
tore there Is little danger that the Government
of the United States will aver be asked to pay
thja maw of trash and we think there are veiy
few people at the South who eror expect it to
be paid. The best informed gave up the Confed
erate debt as bopelsM, long before they gave up
the Confederacy, though failure of* tb*
the inevitable consequence of the insolvency of
tbs first. They knew then that the debt never
weald be paid, sad they know now that it will
never be paid. In some parts of the Confedera
ey ita treasury notes never did obtain currency,
and It ii not now likely that anywhere ia the
South, tiro people, condemned by the fortunes of
war to amine their part of the immense Feder
al dabt, will be willing to weigh down themselves
and their posterity with the additional burden of
tba Confederate debt.
Let the “doubting Thomases" in Congress dis
miss thoir apprehensions. Let the ladies keep
their fire screens and their fens cheaply orna
uented with five hundred doPer treasury notes—
Set the men keep the bonds to useful for blotting
paper and to wrap tobacco In—let the little nig
ger going to school in pursuit of knowledge under
»iifaculties, keep the pretty note he uses far a
thumb paper in bis spelling book and let our old
friends who preserve Oms bonds and notes as rel
ics, tiansmit them to posterity, if for no other
reason than, in tha prolane words of one them*
"t© show our ohildren what and and fools their
I..(hers ware."

A Fx*a w a Btt-Roox.—On Thursday night
a tamo boar, which ie kept by the proprietor of
the tiambre House, got loose from bis kennel and
started on an exploring expedition through the
premiers. Fi ding a door open, Bruin entered,
and made liis way through the hou e. In pus
sing through the hall be came in contact with
one of the servant girls, tndishabilfe, wboxuppo
siog that bo was brut on uiiscluef, fled, screaming
into a bed room close at hand. Bruin, seeming
to appreciate a joke, pursued her closely, and
took tin stand in the door The girl eeemg re
treat cut off, crept under the bed to hide from
the monster. The inmate of the couch, a ladv,
being awakened by the wreams of the girl, ami
teeing BrUin making his way toward the bed,
started up in a liuiry, completing her toilet in a
more expeditions manner, we venture to say,
than she bad ever done in her lift before, and ad
ded her ecrearaa to those of the girl. The bear
commenced a charge upon the fair eno, evidently
in a sportive mood. Ity a dexterous flauk tuovo.
“tenths cornered them both, and raising himself
upon bis hind legs, he looked iotenly • into their
races, as if to say : “What do you think now my
dears!” liy this time nearly the whole bouse
was aroused, anil aauio to the rescue of the be
sieged. Bruin was seised by some of the mascu
line gender and taken to his kennel while the
frightened women were taken care of bv the fe
male portion of the house. They blushed at hav

wards laughed at the groundlessness «f their
fright.— MiftNUtiee Sentinel.

A printer named Bain'-ctu. suddenly dicap
peaied fn-m Atlanta last «xek, and upon search
being made, his bo3y n-.i> feunJ, horriUy rout da
ted, a i-hort 'distance’from the city. Hie ttys--
tcry of his death ha* been cleared np as appears
1 by the following from the Atlanta Intelligencer
of the 19th inst. »
i " The rays trey onrinected with tins singular af
j, fair lias at length bet 11 solved. The body of the
| unfortunate man was found Sti Sunday afternoon
near the Lynch Quarry, in a dreadfully mutila
ted condition. 'An eye bad been pintked out,
the skull fractured, an arm broken, and tlie face
and head so disfigured as to almost defy recogni
tion At the time this discovery was made no
cloe to the perpetrator* of the horrid crime had
been reached though Captain Anderson, and hie
assistants, were industriously engaged in their
. investigations. Bow the truth come to light we
will briefly state. It will be remembered that
Mr. Bridwetl Was seen at the corner of Marietta
and Whitehall streets oa Friday night, in com
pany with a female, and from a (KWiversafion be
tween them, it tran»pired flat she bad obtained
medicine from fbe drug house of Messrs, Mead
it Howell, when the two passed np street,
and were lost to sight. Captain Anderson saw
them, and heard the conversation. Tha woman,
it was lair to presume, had some knowledge of
his mysterious disappearance, and the next thing
was tn find her. The peculiar cut of her hair,
and a blemish in one eye, was ail that was known
of her by which she might be distinguished from
the bos', cf females living in that direction in tlie
suburbs, Search was instituted, however and she
was found aijd afiftsted about 10 or It o'clock on
Sunday night, in..* wooden shanty not far from
the Lynch Quarry, She givee her name as Mrs.
Curry, a widow xiih two children. Upon being
taken Into custody ami questioned tlie terrible
secret was revealed, him lives with her sitter,
Mr*. Wright,- another widow. Mr. Bridwetl
came to the house on Friday afternoon under the
influence of liquor, and remained there a short
time. She had a sick child, and determined to
com# to the city fer medicine. She was accom
panied by Ilridwsfi, who remained at the drug
■tore comer until she had procured it, and then
went home w ith Vr. On their way out he pro
cured a bottle * flkaor at some little store, and
continued to drink; They were in the storm of
Friday night, and were both thoroughly drench
ed. 6n reaching Mrs. Wright's (her sister)
bouse at It) o'clock, Mr. BrUlwell expressed a de
sire to cutes tui-XArj his clothes, lie was in
vited to do so, arffi a son of Mrs. Wright offer
ed Mm a dry xbirt to put on. This he accepted,
and seated himself before the fire. There were
two bed* in the thorn, into one of which Mrs.
Wright and her tnu bod retired for the night.-*
Mrs. Curry took the other, leaving Mr. Bri-lwell
seated in a chair. Evincing no disposition to
depart, the young man Wright siiggeatea that
life mother and Mr*. Curry eould occupy one
bed, and Mr. 8 oouki spend the night with
Kim in the other, but the proposition was de
clined. To make brief the disgusting par-
ticulars. it may be remarked that front one to
forlf o'clock in the morning, the conduct of Mr.
B. was highly improper, and such as to exasper
ate tlie females. To bare rendered himself ob
noxious to sucA; characters, hi* conduct must
have bveu extrefteiy reprehensible. The young
man James T. Wright, xgid 18years, states that
be had silently witnessed the insults offered to
his mother and aitpit until he felt h to be life du
ty to interlu. e, Bfaisiug up in bed, be ordered

Mr. B. bast gutted hi* knife, and intended to in
jure him. lie immediately got his pistol from
tb* poeket of bUcoat, which hung upon the bed
post, and fired, Mr. Uridwell felling heavily upn
the floor with a gamin. The Iwo female* rushed
from the house, followed by tbe young man,
when a consultation took place at to wliat should
be done. The yotmg man says it was hie first
impulse to repairfat once to the city and report
to the proper'authorities the whole transaction
hut hit mother and aunt (Mr*. Curry) advixed
him to conceal the body, and say nothing about
it. To accomplish this it was necessary to have
help. The services of a negro named John
Johnson, a laborer at tbe brick yard near by,
were secured, by waking him from his sleep, ex
plaining tbe matter, and offering him t3 to go
np to the house and aseitt in removing tbe body.
The two |ath#red the*deadman by the heels and
dragged him over etone*. stumps and legs a dis
tance of perhaps a fourth of a mile, when he was
thrown into a a rusll branch, where the hideout
spectacle woe found on Sunday afternoon The
negro states that young Wright promised him a
fine watch *s aw faducemeot never to reveal tbo
terrible secret, to which he consonted. They
Bofisss to know nothing of the manner in which
r. Bril!v eil's clothes were found scattered 00
brink of the pond.
Young Wright is a laborer in tbo brick vard,
and supports his mother and aunt. He franklv
admits that he omamiUed the crime, and claims
that be wa* justifiable. If left alone, he would
not have attempfad to conceal the matter. He
was a soldier in Ae army—was a member of tha
69th Georgia regiment, of Anderson’s Brigade.
Mrs, Curry is a horrid looking specimen of
her sex, aged so nip S5 yews, and ie doubtless ca
pable of any epeaes of villainy. Mrs. Wright i*
an old crone of 50 years, and u perhaps equally
depraved.
It is thought that other parties bad some hand
in tbe murder, theugh no other facts have been
brought to light n* yet.

Terrible Tragedy.
The Memphis Fo»f, of the SOth, contains tbe
following particulars of a terrible tragedy in Ar
kansas:
The old Tecumteit plantation, now owned by
E. P. Johnson, located ou the itississippi River,
about seven miles.above Graud Lake, was this
year leased and cel treated by several Northern
gentlemen tinder the firm name of Adana, Van
pelt A Ova Their names were Brig. Geo. Adams
Gaft. Van pelt and Copt. Jvnka, all of tbe United
States army. The first was formerly Colonel es
the 81st Ohio. They were getting oa very proe
perntrsly txH last Tuerday morning.
Before daybretk "of fast day while the rain
was pouring and at] were asleep, four men dis
guised by the blacking of their faces and other
meaus, broke into Hie house, woke these gentle
men with pistels at their heads, and demanded
their money and their arms. Being entirely
hclples, tha, latte* were delivered np, and a trunk
containing «bout 33,000 of the former w as point
ed out.JrThe robbers immediately forced it and
received the prise, and proceeded to rifle tbe pock
eta and pick up whatever valuables they could
find. Tv* then left the house, and thfi officers
wore left in clvaree of the other two armed men.
But tbeso- fouriMeugeemto have been but tlie
skirmish line of uittßranders. While these were
robbing thaplxnte s. a large body of ruffians en
tered the stable rtd wantonlv killed the animals
which had been placed therefor shelter.
The coloredJafescere were awakened by the
firing and most |f them having served in the
Tfa. robber* fired ‘upon them and killed five,
but tha other, turned, Hie tUsygood esgnest,
“ The Und then set the str-lle on fire, and this
and the cott on gio, and the engine* for propelling
til* latter, were destroyed by tbe flames. They
thee moved off ia * body into the wood* again
In the morning, after burring the murdered
negroes, tbe planters and tlieir bands followed
tbeir assassins until satisfied by tbe number of
their tracks that they could not cope with so
mans, when they returned to the plantation.
Along their trail they seen frequent maiks of
blood, showing conclusively that the fire of the
negroes had token effect.
Tb* Mil* lx tk* Cocoa—Druid, the epicy
coirespoadent of the Ner Turk Hcxe, speaking
of the Mexican lean business, says r
I have been at some pain* to aseerfmn bow
this proposed action is regarded by tli« members
of Cocgresa In the first place, it is no sudden
tiling sprung upon tbo House. It ba» been
talked orlr bv the Republican members for (he
’last three or four weeks. It was fuilv understood
and agreed by them that it should he presented
in esse it became evi.lent that a European war
would take place. The resolution boa been pre
prepared aod is uow offered, under tbe eye and
approval, aod at the instance and express desire
of John C. Fremont, Benjamin F. Butler, and oth
er Radicals out of Congress. There ie a certain
•■ring" of prominent Republicans, who are inter
ested in certain speculations in Lower California
ifonora and Sinaloa, who urge the matter on, and
who hafa completely won oyer Thaddeax Stevens
to do all that they require In Congress. Aa long
as the present Government of Mexico exist* their
speculation will not be worth a c*at. Hie mo
ment the United State* intervenes in tb» man
ner proposed % Thad. Stevens, they *lll be able
to sell shy number of share* in their enterprise
at very Ugh figure* and thus their speculation
will become immediately profitable. If tlie mat
ter should result, as they with and desire, in war,
and if it should terminate, as they hope, in the
acquisition’of Lower California aod Sobora to
tiw United Slates, each on* of the speculators
would realise princely fortune* Such it tb* mo
tive of. the scheme now presented to Congress.
Os the member* of Congress every prominent
Radical Republican baa promised to rise it his
support. It may be coifridered csrtfjr, there
fore, that it will pare the House of rapreeenta
tires by a two thirds vote. It ie no secret Imre
that money hoe been profusely spent by the
Juorist agents irt order to secure Republican
vote*, whenever such a measure as tfii* should
com# before the House. As regards the Demo
cratic member*, they are, I believe, to a man op
posed toil.
