CONFEDERATE TREASURE G&NSBAL ALEXANDER REPLIES TO CAP TAIN McLendon. He Makes a Brief Statement of the Raiding o f the Confederate Wagon Train Near Dan burg—The Guard Refuses to Obey When Ordered to Mount and the Prison ers Escape. (Atlanta Constitution,) General E. P. Alexander reached (he city last night and took supper at the Markham. A Constitution man asked him if he did not b av some thing to say in reference to the article recently published in The Constitu tion by Captain McLendon on the raiding of the confederate treasure train. General Alexander said: ‘ The mailer is so well known that il is hardly necessary to do more than state (lie leading points, which are that ihc money in (lie wagon train, which wa - raided near Danburg. was not confederate money and never did belong to the confederate treasure or been uuder the control of the confed erate government or any of its milita ry officers. It was not left in charge of any confederate officers in Wash ington, but was deposited in the vault •f the old branch bank ef the state of Georgia, which was iu the house then occupied by Dr. ltobcrtsou. who was the cashier of the branch bank, and it remained in his control until two eashiers ef the Richmond hanks came for it to take it back to liich mond. The train was raided near Danburg, as described in tho article ot Captain McLendon, and the bank casbkrs only succeeded in celling back some seventy thousand dollars. The only connection that I had hi the. matter was to go up to Danburg', ac companied by Judge Wm. M. Keesc and one of the bank cashiers, to ar-| lest the parties concerned in the raid and bring back tlies7o,ooo that hadl been collected. I took along tiive or six cx-coufcdcratc soldiers from Washington as a glint'd. When we reached Duuburg one of 1 lie cashiers who Itad remained there, advised that we would need a larger force, and we> added to the guard some seven or eight citizens of the neighborhood. Ij arrested five or six of the raiders. Af ter we had arrested them I sent off all of the guard I had brought from Washington to arrest another party, at a house same distance in our rear, 1 and which we had passed. When we were ready to stal l back to Wash ington from Mr. Chcnault's house we found that the guard vvhnJi h e had collected about been persuaded by the the pris oners to leave us and whet ' called on them to mount aouc of them moun ted, and fiiends ot the prisoners, a number of w out had effected, put arms in their hands and it was plain that we could not carry them oil" with out a liplit. Judge Keesc, who -ac companied us to represent the law. was of the.opinion that he could give no legal authority for the use of force in carrying out the arrest as the civil ■ftilliority of all the stale officers was suspended. So after a conference be- and the bank cashiers it was decided to release the prisoners on th*r promise to return what mon ey they could collect. The prisoners asserted that they had* raided the train under th# imprcssAi that the money was confcdeiateWgßure, bat rbeing convinced that it was private property, they were willing to sur render it. During this conference there was for a moment* jhfcspoet of a fight belweeu one of the fftshiers and the remaining guard who had cmuc with me from Washingbin, on one side, and the prisoners andVsome of their friend* on the other, i'islola amt guns were leveled, hut on my re quest to the cashier and guard to wait lor orders before doing any shooting the whole difficulty Vas averted and there was note of the disarming i-jk ken of in the narrative of Captain McLendon. Neither was the money which hail been collected at tlie house of Mr. Chcnault, but with Judge Keesc and the bank cashiers, I went back to Danburg where it had been placed and got it, collecting the rest of the guard on the way. From Danburg we carried the money to Washington, and if we were pursued by any party we were never aware of it. On gel tluglhc money back to Washington it was replaced in the vault of the bank, and there all inv connection with il ceased, and I never received personally one dollar of it. Of course the matter was very much talked of all over the country, and the federal general, Wilder, already notorious for his harsh conduct towards the citizens of Notf lk, came to Washington and took possession of tlie money and went to Danburg to endeavor to find more. There lie was guilty of all tlie outrages deserilied in Captain Mc- Lendon's narrative without exagger ation. Popular report has it that the money is still in the federal treasury at Washington and the Richmond banks have neycr been able to re cover il.’ - LIVING WITHIN ONE'S ME INIS. However limited our means may be. we shall be among the number of the truly opulent if we live within them, and live contentedly. The perpetual ambition to be thought greater than we are is a source of contempt to those above us, of derision to those below and a continual discomfort to our selves. Korean the mesh throw ii over our circumstances by the artifices of vanity long deceive any one—except jierhaps, a few strangers, who are hardly worth deceiving. Our means, as well as our characters, will sooner or later become known, iu spile of any disguise with which we may attempt to invest them, and the detection in tiie use of the instrument of deception only shows that whatever gifts we may have, we are at least deficient in honesty. The really rich, then, are not merely person* of large means relatively with the position they desire to hold in soeietv. A poor duke would be a rich artizan, simply because in the latter ease there are not the same demands for a large ex pend itnre. The same relation holds througli all classes of society; so that a man to become rich has ouly to deccnd from the pedestal on which his pride lias exalted him aud conform to the usages oflcss ambitions meu. Of all things in this wide world pride is the most expensive, and every extravagant habit acquired just subtracts a pro portionate quantity of wealth, and im poverishes the person who yields to It. Every man has the secret of becoming rich who resolves to live. within h> R means; and independence is one of tlie most effectual safeguards of honesty'. —lllustrated World.

VOL XVIII. Till! KING OF THK CANTON. Driving square info the mountain, as ir human engineers had planned it and human hands blasted and dug,is the great, dark ravine called a canyon. Its ttoor is of rock and bowlder, with, perhaps, a tiny slicani trickling down. Its sides are soil, and bush, and rook and gravel. Its roof is the heavens. Stand here in Ihc mouth and look tip. It is midday, ami yd i- twilight around you and above you can see the stars twinkle. One falling from the cliffs above would pass through a thousand led of space before striking the rocky bottom. You shudder at the thought, and the awful stillness around you brings a chill. The canyon is grim. It may echo your footsteps, but there is no squirrel uor chirp of bird. If living things tread thi- rocky path they leave no trace behind. It w ould furnish quar tern lor a thousand Indians waiting to pounce down upon the emigrant or prospector, hut the savage stands here and feels thcrlmins of awe clogging his footsteps. .This gtimitcss awes hint; this silence makes him tremble. Push forward a few steps. The darkness deepens. Overhead the stars shine brighter, and you ran hear the drip of water down the rugged and moss-grown rocks. The daik cell of the prison has its terrors, but the occupant feels that he can almost reach out and touch the sunny, hust ling world around him. There is nothing to bring awe or fear. In this canyon it is ever night. It is ever tor- I rible in its silence. Il is ever chilly tit its gritnness. The intruder feel's his heart jump and throb as lie vvon iders wlml dangers may he concealed by the further darkness. The miner never comes lu re. The i prospector looks in and hurries away. The savage halls, wonders and pas ses on. It seems as if a wolf would draw buck from such a retreat. In the hottest day of summer il is chilly here. In the brightest sunlight the shadows ever dance orcr the jugged rocks and rugged cliffs. When earth rent herself apart in some awful struggle ami mountains were torn and seamed as and fro the canyon was is one of Ihc scars left behiimby which to read the .history of ages ago. Fifty steps further up. Now the blackness of midnight surrounds us. The trees, a thousand feet above our heads, shade the chasm until the stars aj'c lost sight of. The grimmss be ccyncs a burden which you can Ipel,and as£ current of wind sweeps up or down the rocky defile von cun hear groans and sighs ami feel your blood run cold. The drip of the water has life, hut it weighs upon you. In such stillness that you can count the beats of yonr own heart, the drip! drip! drip! of the ice-water trickling along the cliffs would drive you insane in an hour. Hark! Thunder? No! Beginning with a low mutter, like the gathering of a terrible storm, and -welling and growing until the cayttoii seems to quiver, and pebbles rut tile down from above—it is King of the Canyon—the Grizzly ! Our footstep* have >4..1,td his ear —he sniff* the air with growls which mean death. Two hundred feet beyond us in the pilch darkness is the iairbf the King. Nothing that lives aiid walks can pass his toll-gate. Right there theeatiyoli narrows, and there is his home. Listen! How the rocks tremble un der that roar! The scream of a whirl wind sweeping over the prairie cannot stun you like this. The King rises up and moves about, and his feel fling tlm bones of his many victims against the rocks and down the dark path. Hiaeyeshave a baleful light, and lie tears at the clifls with hi* long claws. He has the scent, but he can not locate it. If he could—if he does—! Come away! ThsKing of the Canyon is at home and hungry,. THE POSTAL TELKOKAI-H The discussion which is going on in all parts ofllie country with regard to the telegraph question is likely to be continued in Congress at its next session, as we have no doubt hills will be prepared and submitted to Congress, proposing to dispose of tiie question by purchasing the property of existing telegraph companies arid thus monopolizing the whole busi ness, or to construct independent tel egraph lines as appendages to the pos tal syslem, or to regulate rales when the business assumes an inter-state character. It is not probable that any affirmative legislation will be bad on the subject at the next session of Con gress ; and yet the question has be come 100 prominent and is too wide reaching in its relations to be per manently laid aside. The telegraph business is at present a stupendous monopoly, for tlie most part in the hands of a single company, and the rales are much higher than they should he, and higher than they would be under the rule of fair compe tition. The Western Union has man aged lo absorb nearly the whole bus iness of the country, and charges rates that yield enormous profits on tlie capita) actually invested. The tele graph business is naturally allied to the postal system of the United States. It differs from the carriage of letters only in being a more rapid way of transmitting intelligence. The Gov ernment lias the undoubted light to transmit intelligence for the people in this way and to build telegraphic lines for this purpose and, if it shall so choose, to do the whole' telegraphic business of the country. If the busi ness were in the hands of ttie Govern ment it could and would be done at a much cheaper rate than is now charged by telegraph companies. There is no necessity for buying out existingcompanies. It will lie suffi cient for the Government to establish competing telegraphic lines, and charge rates that will pay tlie cost of tlio service.

They went to Morgan City; there he successfully commenced dealing in moss on a small scale, and about three years ago opened a gen eral merchandise establishment. She put Iter money away, and invested one dollar in one-fifth of ticket No. 69,519 in the September drawing (the 100th) of The Louisiana State Lottery, by writing to M. A.

Gerhardt, a German shepherd boy, was one day watchingliisflock, which was feeding in a valley on the borders of a forest, when a hunter canto out of the woods and asked, “Ilow far is il to the nearest village?’’ "Six miles, sir,” answered the boy ; but llie road is only a sheep Irack, anil very easily missed.” The hunter looked at the crooked hack and said, “My lad, 1 am very hungry and thirsty ;I have lost my couipaious ami missed my way. Leave your sheep and show me the road ; l will pay you well.” "I cannot leave my sheep sir," re joined Gerhardt, “they will stray into the woods, and may be eaten by wolves or stolen by robbers.” “Weli, what of that?” queried the hunter. “They are not your sheep. Tbo loss of one or two would not. bo much to your master, and I’ll give more than you have earned in a whole year.” “I cannot go. sir," replied Gerhardt very firmly. "My master pays me for my time, and he trusts me with his sheep. If I were to sell my time, which docs not belong to tnc.and the sheep should get lost, if would be flic sanpj as'il 1 had Stolen them.” “Well,” said the hunter, “you will trust your sheep with trie while you go to the village and get mo some food, drink ami a guide ? I will take care of them for vou,” I*o boy shook his head. “The sheep,” said he, “do not know your voice, and——” He stopped speak ing. “And vvlial? Can’t you trust me ? Do I look like a dishonest man?” asked the hunter angrily. “Sir," said the hoy, “you tried to make me false to iny trust, and tried to make me break my word to my master. How do I know that yon would keep your word?” The hunter laughed, for he fell that the lad had fairly cornered him. He said, “I see, my lad, that you are a good, faithful hoy. 1 will not torgol you. Show me the road, and l will try to makoit out myself.” Gerhardt then offered the contents ot his scrip to (lie hungry man, who, Coarse as it was, ate it gladly. I‘res enlly his attendants enme up, and then Gerhardt, to l.is surprise, fauud that the limiter was the Grand Duke, who owned all lhe con til ry around. The Duke was so pleased vvilh the boy’s honesty that he sent for him shortly after that, and had him edu cated. In after years Gerhardt be came a very great and powerful man; hut remained honest and true to his dying day. JCDUK BLACK AS A I’ATMASTKU The lale Judge Jere Black was very Careless in money matters. An Inci dent is related by one of his Intimate friends that is characteristic of tho dead jurist. “During the first years of Judge Black’s eareeras Attorney Gen eral.” said tny informant, “I was a fre quent visitor of the Department of Justice. I was young then as a law yer. and was very .glad lo have an op portunity of listening .o the conver sation oF*o great a lawyer its .fudge Black. One morning a man entered ami handed a piece of paper to the Al lonic) Gener al. ‘Dear tile,’ he said, running his fingers through his hair, ‘I thought 1 had paid that bcYorc.’ ‘No, sir,’ said the man. The Judge reached forward for his checkbook, but not finding it at once, he put hi* hands into his pockets and tumbled uruitiid for some change, lie drew silt a handful of hill.- and pa pers. ‘All! ah! what’s this?’ he said, unfolding a paper and comparing it with the hill in front of him. ‘You infernal liar,’ he ex claimed excitedly, jumping tip and, seizing (lie man by the collar, ‘hero is your own receipt for thia bill dated only ten days ago.’ The man preformed a war dance around the office, the Judge acting as chief inslructo.. His heels frequently came iu contact with his head. Ho was finally kicked inlo the street. In looking through his desk the Judge found three scpnrnlo receipts from this man for same ac count. ‘I believe that I was born to be sw indled’, said Judge Black, ruefully, holding up the receipts for my inspec tion.—Bcllefonlc AValchmun.

You have planted new courage in my fainting heart. I will begin tli s very hourto amass a competency. Which of you can post me on how to fail in business an get my start by beating my creditors ?” One man gulped down something and entered a grocery. The second grew red in Hie face and said lie had to see a man.
