Twenty-three thousand and one hundred
Americans are booked for the Vienna Exposi
tion. It will cost them about $1,000 apiece.
This will amount to over twenty millions of
dollars. Hanged if this Exposition business
don’t pay. In the language ot Shakspcare, it
is “ an ingot breeding beast.”
Mark Twain has written a new book called
* ‘ The Gilded Age. ” It will be out in a few
days. Ho is assisted in the preparation of the
book by Mr. Charles Dudley Warner, who
wrote “ Mr Summer in a Garden,” and is at
present writing up the “Back-log Studies”
in Scribner’s Monthly. He is a writer of rare
and delicate humor, and the book promises to
be a delightsome volume.
“The little paper with & high tone” is still
parading its morality—in spots. As long as
bright Bill Moore devotes a half column of
his very finest language to the description of
a nymph du paw, one must believe that it's
piety is pumpkin piety. It has just about as
much idea for real, hearty morality as Captain
Jack has of the Sixth Commandment The
truth is the Hxuuld is about the only paper
iti Atlanta that is strictly moral. Even the
usually proper Sfceotrt is about to imbrne his
bauds in a b-e-luddy tale of “te-r-rue love
and ven n-juns.” We weep to think of it.
It was & melancholy coincidence that Mr.
Brooks, of the New York Express, rihonld
have died just' as his associates were mov
ing into the new establishment which had
been fitted up with so much care, and to
whose completion he had looked with so much
interest and pleasure. The Express alludes
feelingly to this in its announcement of his
death, saying:
The most painful duty of our lives rest
upon ns to-day. Just as we are entering our
new office, fitted up with every comfort and
convenience, the frnits in port of the life-long
labors of our deceased partner— in part, also,
of Lis own taste, design and study, with a
room set apart for him besides our own—full
of expectation and hope, intelligence reaches
us by telegraph that James Brooks, the senior
editor and partner of the Express, member
of Congress from the Sixth district, is dead.
The event was not unexpected, but the shock
is hardly less great than if more sudden,
and news to us is most sad and depressing.

A REMOTE FROM BR0W51.0W.
As a part of of the history of this degenerate
day, we copy a “card” from Parson Brown-
low, the infamous old paralysis-fighter of Ten
nessee. A more brazen piece of effrontery, a
more hardened defense of villainy, was never
put in print. We commend it to the atten
tion of all who have noticed the several pleas
set np by the several “patriotic gents” who
went for the back-pay plunder.
Knoxville, April 28, 1873.
To G.t Editors of the Cincinnati Commercial:
The Nashville Banner gives the Cincinnati
Commercial as authority for the statement
that I “hesitated for some weeks, but
finally took the 'back-pay' money, at the
same time cursing the poverty, protracted ill
ness and big doctor’s bills that forced me to
do it.”
As I voted every time the question came
np in lavor of the much denounced increase
of salary, I am surprised to see the statement
copied above. I took the increased compen
sation cheerfully and without hesitation, not
because of poverty, (though I am not rich),
but because the increase provided for is just
and right in itself. I could hare dodged the
vete, as members of both houses of Congress
did, and more easily than others, for it was
late at night when it was taken, and
in the condition of my health I was not ex
pected to be in my sent, bnt I preferred be
ing on record in favor of it, though I knew
there were enough to pass the bill without
my vote.
I bad two reasons for voting for this bill:
First—All my life I have been an advocate
of large salaries for public officers, and of
competent, honest and orthodox men to
fill them. I believe it economy in the State
to have such men in office, and to pay them
liberal compensation. While I was Governor
of this State the Legislature, on my le-
commendation, increased the salaries of
nearly every important office in She State.
At the time the Democracy who were
the “ outa ” greatly abased me for it, bnt
they have had control of the State Govern
ment in all its branches for four years, and
in no single instance have they reduced the
salary of any officer. X have no doubt that
nine-tenths of those who have denounced
what they term the “salary steal” would have
voted for the increased compensation had
they been members of Congress. The denun
ciation of it is almost exclusively a species of
demagogueism and an attempt to hood-wink
the "dear people” for which I have a supreme
contempt.
The reason for supportin'? the bill was that
I considered my services to Tennessee and
the country worth ten thousand dollars per
annnm. As editor and proprietor of the
Knoxville Whig, I had long been accustomed
to an income of ten thonsand dollars a year.
I felt while an editor that I earned my wages,
and think that my labor is worth as mnch as
Senator as it was an editor. And now I think
that I am doiDg a liberal part by the country
in consenting to serve it at the salary of
seven thousand five hundred dollars.
Very respectfully,
W. G. Bbowxlow.
Gold in Northern Texas.
Montague Correspondence of the Dallas Herald.
>?e are having a moat unusual excitement
here at present. An old gentleman by the
name ot Gilbert, who is well and favorably
known on this frontier by moat of the old
residents, has been absent for some time past,
bat recently made his appearance with fabu
lous tales of gold discoveries on the head
waters of the Brazos, which he substantiates
by showing some very fine specimens and
rich quartz roek. The natural consequence
is, our citizens have been thrown into a wild
state of excitement, and a strong company
has just been organized under the captaincy
of Colonel W. T. Waybourn (onr popular
sheriff), composed of the best material—old
miners and frontiersmen—well armed and
equipped,, and supplied with all the neces
fairy mining tools, etc., and provisions for
thirty days.
The old man Gilbert will accompany the
party as guide, although eighty-five years old,
and worn from fatigue and exposure, is busily
engaged with his preparations, and is san-
v girine that now, in his declining days, he bos
tieen successful in realizing that which years
of tot! and wandering through the wilds of
California and Nevada daring his long stay
there failed to secure him—gold! gold !
ItoBBias in Virginia.-—Pertona having

relieved of $8,000 in some mysterious way at
Culpepper; a United States revenue collector
in Stafford was mat by the highwaymen on
the road, and required to surrender $1,000; a

at while riding on the highway, seized and
robbed of $1,800, and a collector of land
taxes *n Princess Anne was surprised while
driving through a lonely road and robbed of
$3,700.

tion with them, are twenty-two bands numbering
3,352 men. Orders have been issued by Don Carlos
to shoot the Cure of Santa Cruz, owing to his ex
cesses and cruelties, but as he confines his operations
to the mountains it is not thought likely that either
the Carlists or Republicans will cap tare the brigand.

Washington, and, after a short stay there, go to Colo

gro cabin filled with negroes. They have orders to go

Caleb Cushing’s Book.—Mr. Caleb Cush
ing’s book on the Treaty of Washington is
very sharply criticized in Eogland. The
London Morning Post regards the publication
as a conclusive proof that Sir Alexander
Cockburn “has exposed for the edification of
posterity the groundlessness of tho claims of
which Mr. Caleb Cushing was the exponent,
and that the latter gentleman, as was not un
natural, has bitterly resented the Chief
Justice’s conduct.” The London Echo, un
der the head of “A Yankee Fizzle,” says:
“We may compare the 280 pages to the heated
language of an excited after-dinner orator.
It is a lampoon. But it is a lampoon of the
Counsel of the American Government, and
there is no knowing that it is not published
with the approbation of even greater authori
ties than Mr. Caleb Cushing. Sir Alexander
Cockburn may, perhaps, feel bound to reply
to the charges thrown out at random. A war
of recriminations may ensue, and we do not
look forward to the struggle with satisf&o
tion.”

A Vienna correspondent of the Daily News, in a let
ter to that journal, ridicules the American department
of the exhibition, and gives the following as a correct
list of articles to be seen in the section assigned to
the United States: Two cases Colts’ firearms, three
binnacles, one stuffed eagle, two salt cellars,a dentist’s
chair, and six bottles of water taken from the Missis
sippi river.
The explanation of this meagre display is found in
the former mismanagement of the American section,
and It is confidently hoped now that the new commis
sioners and exhibitors have gone actively to work to
ropair tho evil effects. That the goods from America
will be speedily unpacked and the exhibitions from
that country will come up to tbo standard expected.

war ship Omaha an instance of true heroism
occurred. When on the way to Valparaiso,
the ship was startled by tho cry of “man
overboard,” and in an instant every sailor
was at his post. Those on the poop saw a
man boating astern, and tried hard to ent the
buoys away. They were fouled from the
effect of constant storms. Meanwhile some
one jumped overboard and caught the man,
and they went aft together. The deck officer
immediately hove to, no easy feat in the
heavy sea then running, and as soon as pos-
ble boats were sent out. The man whd
jumped overboard to the rescue was Lieuten
ant Seth Ackley, who had caught the man
and placed him upon one of the buoys, swim
ming himself to another. When the boat
arrived, Lieutenant Ackley refused to get on
board before the man had been found, but he
informed them that he was doubtless fatally
injured by his fall.

tiations and special arrangements, bas ne cessarily
ated delay in the issue of the November number,
which, it is how decided, will he combined with the
December number, to be issued some time duringtho
present month. It is designed to -issno the Jannar
number about the 10th of that month, and the sue
ceeding numbers not later than tho 10th of each
month.
Having investigated the status and prospects of this
Jonrnal, and become satisfied of tho value of the en
terprise, in a business point of view, we have deter
mined to spare no effort to increase, in every possible
way, its already high character, and to furnish a Jour-
INFERIOR TO NO OTHERIN THE COUNTRY
This Journal is now in its tenth volume, and is per
manently established, and would be continued without
any addition to its present revenue, but we ar
satisfied with this. Our motto is “Excelsior,” in all
that we undertake, and our intention is to infnse all
the energy and enterprise Into this publication which
has carried the Herald so rapidly to the
Front Rank of Journalism.
Besides the already large list of Eminent Contribu
tors and co-laborators, there will bo constant additions
to the sources from which wo shall derive orginal mat
ter for the Joubnal, and special arrangements will be
made for furnishing the best material*» an attrac
tive form) which can be ound In the Foreign Jour
nals. Under the
NEW ARRANGEMENT
confidently oxpcct a large addition to eur list
subscriptions, intending that it shall be brought to the
attention of every physician in tho Southern States,
and being positively certain that no better investment
in Medical Literature can be made by anyone of them
than Is offored in this Journal under the present man
agement.
Tho subscription price will remain, m heretofore, at
THREE DOLLARS PER ANNUM

Clears a Cotton or Corn Row at One Round.
PRICE ONLY $24 WITH THREE PLOW POINTS.
T IIS PLOUGH has had a fair trial In this section, and has proven that it is just tho labor-saving machine
that our people want. It has the endorsement of the best planters who have seen it, and tbe LOW
PRICE places it in the reach of everybody.
Bead the following certificates from planters at home and at a distance :
Spalding County, Ga., April 15, 187.1.
The undersigned have seen the “Brinley Shaft Plow ” at work for two days, bedding for cotton, working iu
corn and cotton, and have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire satisfaction with it iu every way. It
makes an elegant bed at every trip, and thoroughly pulverizes the laud at tho same time. After bed
ding, we plowed down tho bed on the water furrow—the place for gnano, reversing the bed and covering the
goaao at the aame time. In corn planted in six feet rows, ono round cleared the row, and left the land iu splen
did order, which would have required five furrows with a single plow, thus saving over one-half the labor, and
doing the work equally as well, if not better. Cotton rows from three io three and a half feet, were cleared at
ono furrow, which would have required two furrows with any other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses any
thing wo ever saw, and for bedding lands after being broken, it cannot bo surpassed, as it does the work of
three men and males. We cheerfully give it our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as the greatest la
bor-saving agricultural Implement that has ever been on our farms, or in this country. The draft of the plough
is as light as a Dixon Sweep on a single stock—a medium mule carrying it with ease.

J. M. BROWN,
The " Brinley Plough” is adapted splendidly for bedding cotton or corn land, and for the cultivation of field
crops. I have made many ploughs, and understand what ploughs tdiou'd do, and unhesitatingly say that the
” Shaft Plow ” will do all that is claimed for it as a cultivator, saving the labor of two men and mcles.
JAS. M. BARFIELD.
Griffin, Ga., April 8,1873.
Mb. A. M. Speights—Dear Sir: We witnessed the working of your “ BRINLEY S SHAFT PLOW,” on the
land of 8. B. Burr, this day, and do not hesitate to say that it is good for all claimed for it. It broke and bed
ded cotton land aa well. If not better, than one horse and band conld do, making a complete bed at one haul.
It is equal to three hands and three mules, and is easily worked by one mule or ono horse. We consider it a
great labor-saver, and unhesitatingly recommend it, and will me it oumlvcs as soon as they can be proc ired.
S. II. BURR,
RI F. JOHNSON.
DU. J. H. CONS ALLY.
W. F. Roberts, of Grahamville, 8. C., says: “ No other Tnill or Shaft Plough is anj where by the side of
Brinley’s. My Foreman has tried It, and says that Brinley's Is worth a doz. u of any other. The negroes are
delighted with it.”
W. G. Gibbs, Columbia, 8. C., says: “The Shaft Plough has been worked with perfect success and satisfac
tion. I am delighted with it.”
W. A. Walters, Simpsonville, Ky., says: •• Works admirably—cleans out a row cf corn at one. sweep—easily
managed—runs ss steadily as & breaking plough—will do twice the work of a double shovel and do it better.”
A. O. Jackson, Greensboro, Ga., says: “ I find yonr Shaft Plow the perfection of coverers for corn and cot
ton.”
J. H. Nichols, Nacooche, Ga., says: “The Brinley Shaft Plow, for the purpose for which it is designed, ex
cels anything I have seen used.” One of his bands says; “I would aa soon plough with this plough as to
play.”
R. H. George, Simpsonville Ky., says: “ Excels anything I have ever seen—puts the 'round in fine condi
tion—can be used from the time the corn is up until it is full grown—more o- : milled than ary other
plow.”

Fifteen to Thirty Days for Bridle and Heavy

Sipf'riVn Because while it dispenses
with the use of hark, and
reduces tho expenses of Tanning at least fifty
per cent., it may be used in combination with
bark, bark extract, or japonica, and when so
used is nearly as economical and rapid.

Dear Sir—In reply to yonr inqniry, I wonld
shite that my opinion of PETERS' EUREK A
TANNING PROCESS may bo inferred from
the fact that I am now wearing a p*ir of
boots, tbo leather of which wss tanned le
thal process before the same was perfected
and a patent obtained; that the said boots
have now been in wear for the period of three
years—are the most pliable and easy to the
feet of any boot I ever wore, and are in a
good state of preservation yet.
