CONTEMPTIBLE ACTION OF FED
ERAL SOLDIERS.
They Rob tho Wife anti Children of
an imprisoned Comrade.
Our reading nnd personal < ; - •- -• n-• -
has induced us to believe that no 1 1 , of
men urn more devoted and chivalrous to
one another limn soldiers—men who have
shared the privations, sufferings nnd (lan
gera of the tented fluid. An unfortunate
comrade always appeal to the sympathies
of Ills fellows, and eases are numerous
where lives lmvc been risked and lost in
the defence of a brother soldier. This feel
ing, however, does not scan to animate
the breasts of some of the buys who c port
tlio bine, as tho following incident, which
occurred on Hunday lust, at Fort Pulaski,
will prove.
It would, perhaps, not he gouerous, how
ever, to charge this contuinplihlo act to
the entire garrison. Doubtless there were
many men there who feel indignant and
incensed at uu outrage which reflects so
much discredit upon their profession
ft will lie remembered tlmt in .June lu'-t,
Hubert E. Carr, Sergeant Battery H. sta
tinned at Fort Pulaski, in attempting, to
quell a disturbance, created by some drunk
en solders, shot nnd killed one by tho name
of Jordan. 110 was shortly afterwards
given a preliminary trial before U. B. Com
missioner Wnyno, which resulted in hrs
being commiled to jail on the charge of
murder. There lie lias been ever since.
There was much sympathy expressed for
the young man at the lime by the specta
tors, as there was in the testimony of some
of the witnesses too much fueling expret -ml
against him. This was explained by the
fuct thnt he was a rigid officer, and com
pelled the men to do their duties. It will
also lie remembered that in August last.
Sergeant Bell, the principal witness for the
accused, was Bet upon by a man named
Logan, nnd sonic others, former soldiers
at the Fort, nnd severely beaten in a bar
room in this city— and it was geueially
believed that it was on account of his evi
donee given at the trial mentioned
The following card, from Sergeant Carr,
which is published in one of the dailies of
yesterday, will explain tho great outrage
that lias been perpetrated upon him and
his family, by some of Iris comrades :
Please give me space enough in your
journal to set before the public an account
of u fiendish and heartless robbery which
fins been perpetrated upon my wife aud
children The community is aware that 1
have been for tho past three months mi
Justly confined in Chatham couniy jail
upon a charge of murdering a soldier at
Foi l Pulaski, while In the discharge of my
duty as Bcrgcant commanding the guard,
luendeavoring to suppress a mutiny at the
fort, (in Sunday last, during the absence
of my wife and child from their residence,
some soldiurs at the garrison broke in and
forced open the trunks and chest, from
which they stole every dollar belonging
to myself aud family.
By this dastardly robbery my wife and
children are deprived of the means of oh
mining tho actual necessities of life, and
being closely confined myself'tu a prison
cr. I am powerless to institute any meas
ures of redress, but can only hope, through
thu medium of your influential paper, to
louse t lie dormant energies of the proper
authorities at thu fort, who will exert
themselves to discover the heartless pel
petrators of tho crime, mid secure, if pos
slide, the restitution of the property.

HIC JACET JENKINS.

ritvisM.
limn the X. V Kerning Pori.;
It is extremely dilllrult to give a precise
definition of what wo menu liy the word
"Jenkinism," although every one is well
acquainted with tho article. It might be
called lluanciul news gathering, iu which
the news was told, not as news but ns u
means of ministering to someone's vanity
You might say it was minute l’nul l’ry-
Isiii, where l’niil was invited to the him
quel hoard and then expected to tell nil
the world w hat great people were present .
what the great people wore and wlmt they
said, of the manner in which Miss A. toyed
with her soup, and the wav in which Miss
it ate her fish, of the blushes which inttii
tied the virgin cheeks of MlssC. when her
neighbor, “who distinguished himself in
the late fratricidal war," naked her if lie
might give her some more of the fruit, and
kindred disgusting details. In short, it
was Ktiobbism run mad about very vulgar
people
It must be confessed, how ever, that Jen
kins did his drudgery with an air Me
was a pretty youth, and wore his livery
like a duke. He peeped in at drawing
rooms us though lie ow ned the mansion ,
they were so many pieces of calico w hich
lie was selling oil at auction; lie noticed
tho tapestry, and counted the lmirs in my
-lady’s false braids , he marked the equip
Hgos, and could tell you to n fraction how
many times each carriage wheel went
nroliud iu a minute . he detected the num
ber of bank bills in each gentleman's
pocket book, am! measured out his buttery
in due proportion; and he did all this in a
cheerful, unconstrained slid unconscious
fashion, which was very diverting in spite
of its vulgarity. Jenkins, moreover, tv
bibbed a discreet indifference as to the
character of Uie fish that canto into his
uet. He was always a true Democrat, and
gave us
"The near o'prlnces, dukes and earls.
Pimp*, *-b*trj.,ts. bawd*,and opera girl*"
in tho same bltllisotiio strains Often, in
deed. bo went further tbau this, aiui re
counted nitli extra particularity llic np
penrauce ami manners of those whose rep
utations were not. in ropoetto cleamies>.
like the driven snow T hose who were
notorious lie inane more notorious, and
he was not careful about tin- l at.-c of their
notoriety.
Of course, in this indisertminatliig s eft!;
into private affairs lie sometimes fell foul
of ladies und gentlemen from whom bis
inquisitiveness met with merited contume
ly. nud from whose houses his graceful
form was ejected with deserved violence.
Hut, os a rule, lie was a favorite among
these upon wltoui, cannibal-like, he fid,
aud as they road hi* glowing periods thee
smiled complacently, and confessed the
[ pen was mightier than the sword
Hut Jenkins has fallen. All the summer
i throng a M'c Lave looked lor Uis elegant
letters iu vain Once or twice wc lmve
(Uttered ourselves that we detected the
familiar style iu the verbose letters of "EU
lUrkins but a closer examination unde
ceived us. The airy humor, the graceful
manner and the unconsciousness of Jon
kia* were ail lacking, and we wete forced
to the conclusion that Jcukluism was no
longer in the market. •
1 here arc sereral for this era-
cious tuking-off. The public lias been in
terested all summer in more important uf
fuirs The trial of the corrupt Judges of '
this city, un exciting political canvass for |
the Presidency, and kindred matters have |
fl ed the public attention
But wlmt lias been more influential, our ]
watering-place society has changed in
character within tho year. Jenkins finds
no Jim Fisk or Helmhold to furnish food
for liis stomach and pen now People of
notoriety have not been in good order tills
summer, and if bus been discovered iicre
and there that a decent reputation is of
more value than abundant shekels. Those
who love to make a display and to he,
tulltcd about have accordingly simulated
modesty, and poor Jenkins bus been de
nied even the crumbs from under the tu
bles of bis former patrons.
In addition to all this, Mr. mid Mrs.
Shoddy and all tho little Shoddies have
gone to Europe. Whether this was lie
cousc the Mime expenditure of money
would make a greater show there thau
here, or because it was the modish tiling
to do, we do not attempt to decide. The
fact remains that many of the new rich
have sought a foreign people among whom
to display their abundant jewels mid their
superfluous ducats. The result lias been
that the prey lias -lipped from Jenkins’
clutch, and the poor fellow died of starva
tion.
We hope that no one will weep at Ids
death. lie was a low, vulgar creature,
a parasite and a pest. It is to be re
membered, however, that the doctrine of
the resurrection is not yet out of date, and
lie may come to life, although we sincere
ly hope tlmt our merely fashionable peo
ple have outgrown his insane babbling,
aud that they will not cull a physician
COFFEE.
( oiisiimers of this fragrant berry have ]
he* ii disappointed that the "lieu breakfast i
table.' 1 which politicians promised them
when the duty on coffee of 1 cents per
pound gold was abolished, lias not been
visible even in a remote degree. The
wholesale prices have been slightly re
duced, but consumers have thus far been
unable to obtain any benefit from it, espe
cially if they use the better qualities.
Much bm appeared in tho public prints to
show, that this is due to speculative iuilu
cnccs, and nearly as much to combat this
view If we look into the merits of the
case, we hull probably find that Hie laws
of trade lmvc controlled this matter, and
that although speculative influences have
been at work, they have been merely aux
iliary forces. Tho crop in all coffee pro
ducing countries in 1871 was a short one,
but tho ample stock of old coffee left over
prevented auj' material advance until late
in the season, when the receipts of smaller
supplies confirmed the reports, and prices
went up.
Then came the agitation of the abolition
of thu tariff', and the final law making it
free on July I. This checked trade and
reduced slocks on hand throughout the
distributing cities, so that when the first
of July came there was a rush to buy cof
fee, which activity in the market kept up
prices, especially on (lie bettor grades, tho
supply of wliicli Ims been light: mid even
now every fresh cargo of Hie better grades
Is taken with avidity at full prices The
crop this year is larger than tlmt of 1871.
and the stock at all ports, October H', was
78.!152 bags 1 {in. and ti 11,817 bags other
kinds at the corresponding date last year
This is by no means a large supply, espe
cially us Hie people of the United States
consume more coffee per capita than any
, other country except Holland nnd Bel
gium ; but it is large enougli with the
prospective to keep supplies as low ns they
now are, and perhaps to cause a moderate
decline. I lie effect of Hie abolition of the
duty on coffee lias been then, to prevent a
large advance, and will ultimately lie to
give us the reduction in price equivalent
I to the duty abolished ; but the coffee pro
! d,icing countries must have full crops
: before this cun be fully realized.— Cincin

A Mysterious Affair.
A Lady Terribly Fiightend! !
A night or two since a most mysterious
affair occurs and at the house of a very prom
inent citizen. Somewhere about the hour
of S o'c ok. the wife entered one of the
rooms of the house iu order to light u lamp
She had no sooner entered tho door than
she was suddenly seized by both arms and
i iolently shaken for a few moments She
was then released, when she, of course,
rushed out in groat alarm, and, as her
husband was not at home' ran over to a
neighbor's house. Several gentlemen at
once went over ami made a search, but
uo one could be found.
The mystery of the affair has not been
cleared up. No violence or injury wasin
tctided to the lady, as manifestly show u
by the relcns.nl. Nor was lohberv the ob
ject as nothing was missed from the house
Hie surmise is that it was some person
trying to conceal himself from the officers
of the law or some other purpose, and
had taken temporary refuge in the house.
t'un the mystery be explained?- Ath-i- !

THE FUEHIIJM WEEKLY.
IT is universally conceded that advertising is
a necessity to success in business; it is also
conceded, b.y the shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium for reaching
all parties whose trade is desired.
TIIE MONROE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than any other journal published in the
country; it is, therefore, the best medium of
communication witli the planting interests.
We will be happy at any lime to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the fact that they have re
ceived orders for gbods from parties who read
their cards in The Advertiser, toi fact, many
who have availed themselves of its columns
candidly say that its value exceeds that of ai
other journals in which they are represented
The Adrertiser has the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
successful.
CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS.
No advertisements arc admitted which are
not believed to be above question and of real
value, and from parties so unquestionably re
liable that the readers of The Advertiser will be
