Mrs. T. U. Camak died in Griffin Tuesday morning.
The remains were carried to Columbus and laid in the
fsmily burying grounds. Sho was a daughter of the
late Colonel Thomas Rsg’.and, who, for so many years,
was the proprietor of the Enquirer, and the wife of
Colonel Thomas Cfimak, who fell whilo leading his
regiment on the bloody field of Chickamauga.
The Griffin Hews has this to say about ‘ our Sam :'.
Early this morning, while people were asleep, we
heard the shrill notes of a “solitary" engioo rushing
down upon us like Stonewall Jackson on a (quad of
“jinks." This engine reminded u* that day was
coming, and we must be stirring. We arrived at the
depot just In time to see our old friend, Sam. Wells,
jump off the train with an arm.ull of paper*, crying,
Atlanta Hebalo! The First and Best! We emolc a
smi e, and asked Earn, what wts up. He just took
time as he darted across the street to say, “I’ve just
com# down to get three more subscribers. That'll
clean Griffin." Wd hop* he’ll get ’em.
The Athens Watchman, of the IGth instant, bus
this: The Agricultural Convention meets here n xt
week. Need we urge upon our citizens the necessity
of throwing open their houses for the accommodation
of the delegates? There will be a large number of
them, it is true; but will not our hospitality be equal
to the occasion. Wherever the Convention baa been
held heretofore, the citizens have displayed % liberali
ty which elicited the praise of all the delegates. We
trust onr little city will “put her best foot foremost."
We published last week a list of delegates famished
by the Assistant Secretary. Let our citiz us call at
the Book store And each select for himself s-.ich guests
as he desires to accommodate.
Mr. William Cowan, long a reside!.t cf Jsckaon conn-
ty, and a highly respectable citizen, departed this life
st the residence of Mrs. Orr, on Tnr sday, the 29tb ult.
The deceased was never married, but possessed in an
eminent degree all the kinder and better feelings of
humanity. He was 7* years old, and had been a mem
ber of the Prcsbyterian Church a great many years.
The Watchman harns that a tqnad of Federal sol-
d.ers have been ordered to Jackson county, in conse
quence of the hiliilg of Robert Holliday pome weeks
ago, while resitting an arrest by lawful authority.
The same paper is pleased to learn that work is now
progressing on the Northeastern Road, which has been
it* pet for many year* past, and which it hopes to see
forming a connecting link in the great chain between
Chicago and Port Royal. At the latest account* a por
tion of tho hands were at work eight miles beyond
Harmony Grove—twenty-six miles noith of Athens.
They are now proceeding very rapidly, as th< work be
tween Harmony Grove and Gillsvillc is very light. The
last four or five miles before resetting the Air-Line
R sad will be compai&'.ivtlj heavy.

seventy-five of which are in a high state «»f cultivation
nnder Mr. J. Fincher, an experienced fanner. The
crop is the best the editor has ever ;can in Georgia.
The cotton is largo and vigorous—it will average
seventy five fqnaTt-s to the stalk. TLi* crop has been
pronounced by experienced cotton planters to bo the
finest they have ever s^en, and that ft will make two
bags to the sere if nothing unfavorable should hap
pen. The corn stands thick on tlij ground, and < acb
stalk is heavily laden with fine, large carp, and will
make seventy-five or eighty bushels'to the acre. This
is equal to the fine corn lands of Kentucky and Ten
nessee. The crops of potatoes, peas, Ac., all show a
flae, healthy appearance. The entire crops arc clean,
aud show that they have been well cultivated, and
will yield a handsome profit on the capital and labor
necessary for their production.

The Savannah News says: On Mondiy night last
abont half past eight o’clock, as a young man who re.
sides on Anderson street, west of tk e rail r< ad station,
was proceeding homeward, he encountered three
negroes. He moved aai«ie to let them pars, when one
of the negroes struck him m the face, knocking him
down. As he fell, he managed to seize a piece of
brick lying on tho ground which he threw at the party,
fortunately striking cne of them in the head. The
three then jumped on him and loat and choked him
seveiely. Tbe approach of some one ceased them to

to swallow a certain number three time# a day. Yes

The State Journal tails the following horse story:
“We learn from the passengers on yesterday morn
ing’* train of tbe Selma. Borne and Dalton road of
one of the most startling incidents which ever oc
curred in the history of railroad travel in this State.
When the train left Alpine, a horse was seen on the
track about one hundred yarda in advance. Tbe train
came thuoderisg on, and the noble beast was not
slow to take the hiut, and moved himself off at a rate
which told he knew a thing or two himaelf about
railroads. The chase continued for a mile right along
the track; when the horse reached the bridge,
over Talladega creek, he went boldly forward upon a
twelve inch plank. When about half way across he
turned to look back, not heeding the biblical fate of
Lot’s wife. He thereupon lost bis balance and fell
across a scantling which formed part of the frame
work of the bridge. Tl^e train was stopped, and the
animal, which had made such a race, was rescued
from his perilous condition by mean* of ropes and
chairs. In that single mile dash the horse ran over
three trestles, and, what is wonderful to relate, the
boree actually widened the gap between himself snd
tbe train, snd but for turning around to see “how tbe
old thing workoJ," could have bid defiance to his
snorting iron rival.
An Alabama minister in Chambers county, in
nouncing the exercises for the next day, said to his
congregation: “ I hope that all the congregation will
meet at ten o’clock, for precisely at that hour I will
proceed to the creek and baptize four adults and six
adulteresses.’’

To Transient Advertiser*.
On anil niter to-day, all transient advertise
ments for tbe Hf.bald must be paid in ad
vance, excepting in cases where the adver
tisers are regular patrons. We are compelled
to adopt this course to prevent the accumu
lation of a Urge number of petty accounts on
oar books, which call for more clerical labor
than they are really worth. Societies, associ-
lions, etc., can very well empower their secre
taries to pay such small accounts as news
paper bills generally are.
This change is not made from any distrust
of transient advertisers, as, in a large majority
of cases, we have found them prompt in pay
ing their bills. Our business, however, has
increased in other departments so largely that
we are forced to exact advance payments, for
the purpose of avoiding the neceaaity of em
ploying additional clerical labor.
We trust that our friends generally will ap-
| predate tho motives which prompt this rule,
from which we have determined not to devi
ate in the future.

From the Xew York Journal of Commerce.
We have received from more than a dozen
different sonrees in England a scries of in
quiries addressed to ns, onr position as a
commercial paper appearing to suggest to
the writers the possibility of obtaining the
information at oar hands, all of which ap
pear to bear some relation to the Tichborne
imposture. The writers appear to represent
ail classes, ship owners, brokers, bankers,
lawyers and merchants, bnt tbe burden of the
questions is alike. We have replied to some
of these by mail, and to others by cable, as
requested; but, as tho letters continue l»
come, wo are driven to a response in print,
which we can mail to all further applicants.
The assumption ot most of the letters thns
far to hand is, that a three-masted schooner
of 400 or 500 tons, called the Osprey, was in
Melbourne harbor, in the fall of 1854, flying
the American flag. This is undoubtedly part
of the claimant’s case.
Let ns recall some of tbe facts. On Fri
day, tbe 16th of June, 1854, onr paper con
tained a copy of a letter from Baltimore
with a very interesting statement. The
schooner Kent of Baltimore had arrived in
Rio on the first of May, and reported that on
the 26lir of April, in latitude 21.35 8. and
in longitude 38.90 W., she had fallen in with
a boat, bottom upwards, water casks, cabin
furniture and fittings, spars and ijlher mate
rial of a wrecked vessel. The boat was
righted and proved to belong to tbe Bella of
Liverpool. As these parts of the vessel and
fnrniiurc were in close proximity, the cap-
l.iiu of the Kent inferred that sbe must have
been wrecked not earlier than the nigbt be
fore, since they would soon separate, and he
hazarded Ihe conjecture that she had sunk by
collision with some other vessel, and that all
hands were lost.
The Bella, whoso remains were thus dis
covered, was a British clipper ship which
left Rio Janeiro on the 20tn of Apnl, 1854,
for New York. 8he had 4,300 bags of coffee
and 900 logs of rosewood—her cargo being
valued at abont 880,000. And sbe is proved
to have bad on board Ib&t voyage the trne
heir to the Tichborne title and estates.
It would he easy for one who knew these
facts to assume that the ship which collided
with the Bella might have rescued the miss
ing Sir Roger and taken him to Melbourne.
But what skip conld it be ? He had seen a
vessel iu Melbourne called the Osprey. He
thought ot her as an American, since sbe
came there from American Waters, and be
gave this ns the rescuer, and announced him
self as the rescued.
There never was, so far as we can discover,
a three masted schooner or any vessel of large
size of this name which ever bore the Ameri
can flag. The vessel which this canning in
ventor had seen at Melbourne, and vnlieh
laid tho foundation of his story, was a British
ship, and not n three masted American
schooner.
The British ship Osprey, CapL Tomlinson,
was in the port of New York in the spring of
1851. Sbe was cleared hence by Messrs.
Cook A Smith, on June 1, 1854, (we take this
date from our files), for BL Stevens, New
Brunswick, whence it was reported, she was
to sail to Melbourne. Hhe was represented
then in onr register by ’Whitwell, managing
owner at Briatol, England. Sbe was bnift at
St. Johns in 1845, and measured 788 tons.
It was undoubtedly the appearance of thia
ship at Melbourne which suggested the cun-
ning story, but its falsehood is easily shown.
She was hero in the month of May, clearing
only on tho 1st of Jnne, and could not there
fore have been on her way to Menxmrns, in
latitude 21 eoatb, on the night be tore the
26th of April. The error of date whioh some
of tbe shipping papers made In copying the
loss efthe Bella from oar files was in referenoe

sages in tbe appendix to his edition of 1853.
But be derived his knowledge of them from
Forester’s works, and says be had not the
means of tracing tbe story to its original
sonrees. He ados, however, “there is no
great improbability that snch enterprising
and roving voyages os the Scandinavians
made, they may have wandered to the north
ern shores of America, and, if Icelandic man
uscripts can be relied npon as genuine, free
from modern interpolation, and correctly
quoted, they wonld appear to prove the fact.’’
We have seen these sagas, printed in Ice
landic, now in the possession of Professor
Buderson, and examined fac similes from
the original Icelandic mannscript, and can
discover no evidences of interpolation. In
fact, the high character of Professor Rafn
precludes the idea that there is any attempt
at imposition. We think tbe sagas clearly
entitled to be shown in evidence as historical
records, and it appears from them that Bjarne
Herjulfson, a Norwegian, owner and captain
of a vessel, was on his way to Greenland to
see his father in 933. The comprss was not
then invented, and a violent wind drifted him
southward through tbe fog. When it cleared
he was in sight of Vinland, bnt, finding him
self too far south, ha proceeded northward to
Greenland. He subsequently returned to Nor
way, and was greatly blamed becanse he did
not go ashore at Vinland.
The Norwegians who discovered Iceland iu
861, and Greenland in 984, were anxiously
looking forward to still more lands in tho
west Leif Erickson, son of Erik the Red,
who had discovered Greenland, bonght
Bjaroe’s ship and enlisted thirty-five men,
and, guided by directions from Bjarne, and
with the stars for his compass, sailed for
America. In the year 1000 be landed at Vin
land,and spent the winter at or near Fall River,
Mass., where, seven years atterward, Tborfin
Karlsevna and his party lelt the famous
“Dighton Writing Rock” inscription. In 1002
there was an expedition to Vinland by Thor-
warld Erickson, who was pierced by an arrow
and died there, and, according to the descrip
tion of the saga, it seems that he was bnried
at Garnet Point. About forty years ago a
skeleton in armor, was dug np in that vicin
ity. Longfellow bad written a poem abont
this, and the Archaeological Society in Bos
ton sent part of the armor to the celebrated
chemist, Berzelius, who analyzed it, Coding
it to be of the precise composition of Nor
wegian armor during the tenth century, and
it was the same style of manufacture.
Tbe next expedition was under Thorfin,
mentioned above, who left the writing on the
rock which corresponds with tbe acconnt in
the sagas. He had his wife and one hundred
and fifty-one men, and stayed three years,
and Snorre, his son, was born there in 1008 —
(Thorwaldson, the famous sculptor, was a di
rect descendant of Snorrce.)
There were various expeditions after this,
until 1121, when Bishop Eric Upsi was sent
to Vinland. The last expedition known was
in 1347. when the Black Plague broke out and
reduced the population of Norway from
2,000,000 to 300,000. This stopped farther
leditions.
a addition to the sagas, “The Lighten
Writing Rocks," the Newport Tower (which
Indians say was bnilt by giants,) and the
skeleton in armor, we have, in snpport of the
early discovery by Leif Erickson, the writ
ings of Adam of Bremen, an old historian of
high authority, who visited the Danish King,
Svend-Esthidson, and afterward wrote in
Latin an account of the northern nations.
He says; “There is a land discovered by
many in this ocean (Atlantic) which is called
Wineland, because vines which produce very
good wine grow there spontaneously; and
there grows grain in abundance without being
gown. Of this we have knowledge, not by
fabnlons supposition, bnt by reliable state
ments of the Danes.”
Columbus made a voyage to Iceland in Feb
ruary, 1477, and it is thought by some that he
must have learned of VinlaDd then, as the
clergy were Latin scholars, and that he prob
ably knew of the writings of Adems, of Bre
men.
We understand that a literary gentleman of
Minnesota is preparing a work in which he
maintains that the three Pinzous, who were
with Columbus, had a map of Vinland daring
the first voyage of Colnmbns. Leif, tbe bold
Norwegian, deserves a monument

The American cholera, says tbe Rochester
Democrat, as developed in Ohio, la a very
discriminating disease. It oonfiaaa its oper
ations mainly to the penitentiary at Colum
bus, and selects victims from among the crim-
nals that are serving out life sentences. Such
an intelligent cholera ought to visit tbe
Tombs.
Profitable Impudence.
HOW A SW1WDI.ER OPERATES IN INDIANA AND
now TBX PEOPLE NJBDLE.
From the LoallvUIo Commercial, July Z6.
The American people are tho most gullible
and tbe easiest to humbug in tbe world, and
the truth of this saying was verified in Jet-
fetsonville Monday evening. At that time a
fellow named George W. Eaton, who has
traveled lunch, stationed himself near tbe
poaltaBce, on Spring street, and from his
uuggy commenced talking about ru
auction of greenbacks to attract a crowd.
Soon, many of that class who would invest
their last dollar in a lottery scheme,
of any kind, was gathered about Eaton, and
he proceeded to auction off a ten dollar
greenback, refusing to take a bid over nine
dollars. This amount was paid by Philip
Lyon. He then sold to other parties bills as
follows; $5 for $4 80; $2 for $1 75; *1 for
75 cents. He then sold several Dickies at
ten cents each to Peter Grass, then gave Mr.
Gross half dollar tor aolhing. The fellow
than tossed a few nickles into the crowd to
e them scramble for them.
This was all done by way of divertisement
and to distract the attention of tbe more
thoughtful of the crowd from the swindle
abont to commence. This consisted of prize
packages ot candy, which Eaton proceeded to
aell at 80 oents a draw. Several prize pack
ages were readily sold. The fellow then drew
forth a package of twenty envelopes, which
were bia off by Perry Gaither for $10, but
Perry failed to find a single prize in bis pack
age. Tbe next dodge was the best of all.
Faking up three envelopes, be agreed to sell
them for $10, with tbe privilege of buying
bock one of them for $9.80. Eph Keigwin
bought this packsge, and selling back one of
the envelopes to Eaton for $9.50, he in turn
•old it to Peter Grafts for $10. Upon opening
it there w*i “nary” cent found. Herera!
other well-known citizens invested jn ten
dollar paekogee, but did not *nd any prize.
The fellow wes not over half an hour en
gaged selling, and during the whole time he
Sept the crowd in a roar by wagging his
« obb ^ n K* bon t alnety dollars
mall ho suddenly closed np Us boxes and
drove away, telling the crowd that It was
sometimes necessary for him to tears a place
in % harry.
provloos the tame man was at
Chariewtown, and after taking In about Jh
Tor J Imrndently told the
“°“*f *“ <***lned wm for
v Pnrpoeee, and when he secured
enough he intended to build a lunatic ssvIm
for d—d fools, and, extending a polite luvi-
Utton to the crowd to visit his asylum* drove
