From the Savannah Adverti.-er.] When Jones left his estimable wife and her lady friend in Charleston as a blind to ullay any suspicion as to the extent of the journey he was about to make, as well as to conceal his true motives and to gain time should his operations by chance be discovered in Savannah a day or two after his departure from this city, IIE HASTENED NORTHWARD, and reached Washington, D. C , on Sun day evening, and on the following morn ing (Monday, the 24th ultimo) crossed the Jersey City terry at the foot of Couttlaud street in New York, hired a carriage, aud in about thirty minutes himself aud valise were deposited on the northeast corner of Eighth street and Fifth avenue, the site of the well appointed and managed hotel known as the Brevoort House. When Jones entered this hotel, he went to the ofiiee, registered his name A. G. Jones, Savannah, Ga., aud was assigned a room in which himself aud valise were soon locked up. Here the ex-bookeeper made a hasty toilet and then got shaved, after which he hastened to lake breakfast at a residence on Sixteenth street. HE EXPLAINED AT TABLE that he had come from Savannah on special business for the Southern Bank of the State of Georgia in Savannah, and as he was known as an employe of the bauk, no inquiries were made as to the nature of his special business, nor is it known that he stated it, the conversation being imnie diately directed to general topics, Jones all the time conducting himself with more thau hisaccustomed ease of manner. The repast being over in about three quarters of an hour, the visitor quietely bowed himself out aud went down town. From tbc New York We l id. [ Further particulars were .yesterday dis covered concerning the frauds upon the Southern Slate Bank of Georgia, at Savan nah. Some year or more ago, at the instance of Mr. Eugene Kelly, of thirty four Pine street, President of the bank aforesaid, aud also doing business as a banker in this city, Allen G. Jones was made a clerk in the Southern Bank, lie was a young man of good reputation and joined an Episcopal church in Savannah soon afte#|enteriug the bank. It was a part of his duty, apparently, to fill up drafts. In the book kept for that purpose, so iar as Mr. Kelly is informed, aud as is a business way of many bankers, the cash ier was in the habit of signing the blank drafts in advance. * As each draft lias a number printed cor responding to one on the stub left after it is detached, aud fraudulent detachment could be immediately discovered by the cashier. But Mr. Jones was equal to the emergency. lie tilled out drafts to the amount of $32,500 and secured them, writing the word “ cancelled ” on the stubs, and explained to the cashier that from some error the drafts had been de stroyed. No suspicion whatever was en tertained of the dishonest inteution, and some weeks ago, Jones, who was sent north on business, came to Kissant & Cos., of this city, to whom he was known as an employee of the Savannah bank, and in formed them that he was about to seud money north for an investment. They consented to receive it for him, and accor dingly', on his return he forwarded the Btoleu drafts. A wef-k ago yesterday he appeared again in IS'cw York (it is not known where he spent the interval, hut he was missing for some time from Savannah, and suspi cions were entertained that he had been foully dealt with), aud visiting Kissam & Cos., asked them to give him credit, as he wished to overdraw his account. This was, of course, refused, being contrary to business rules, aud Jones thereupon asked for his money, saying that if they could not give him credit it was of no advantage to him to keep money with them. The drafts were made payable to the order of Kissam & Cos., and with the endorsement of that firm presented at the Park National Bank, aud at once cashed. The currency was handed to Jones in the evening, and he departed, taking rooms at the Brevoort House. Wednesday morning his room was dis covered to have been unoccupied during the night previous, and Jones who had registered his name in full on his arrival, was seen no mor. . His hill was unpaid. Nothing was found in the room but a worn valise, in which was an old silver watch aud a jewel case from Tilfauy A Cos. Ap pearance indicated a “mysterious diaap pearauce,” and supposed is it that Jones, wished to favor such a hypothesis. Mean while the officers of the Savannah bank, unable to account for their clerks disap pearance in any way, suspected the possi bility of a connection between it and the cancelled stubs upon their book. They telegraphed the numbers of the drafts to Mr. Kelly, and asked if they had been cashed. They had ; “but they are cancel led on our books.’’ The fraud was out. This was on Muuday last, and an account was published in the Saturday papers. The proprietors of the Brevooit House immediately informed Mr. Kelly of the circumstances of Jones, disappearance- Detectives were set at work, and the first results of inquiry were that Jones bad purchased quite a quantity of jewelry from Tiffany & Cos., on Tuesday Jast. Descriptions were telegraphed to Europe and in every direction over this country at once. The opinion is held by some detectives that the defaulter has sailed for Cuba, where means have been taken to intercept bim. As the cashier's signature to the draft is believed to be bona fitle the loss ia sustained by the Savannah bank, and even were it a forgery nqloss would fall on the Park National Bank, but on the endorsers, Messrs. Kissam & Cos. MACON, GA., TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1873. Hark Twain on the Car-Hook Murder er and tho Pardoning Power. From the New York Tribune.] 1 have trad the Foster petitions. The lawyers’ opinions do not diiturb me, be cause 1 know that those same gentlemen could make us able an argument in favor of Judas Iscariot, which is a great deal for me to say, for I never can think of Ju das Iscariot without losing my temper. To my mind Judas Iscariot was nothing hut a low, mean premature Congressman. The attitude of the jury does not unsettle a body, 1 must admit; and it seems plain that they would have modified their ver dict to murder in the second dedree if the Judge’s charge had permitted it. But when I come to the petitions of Foster's friends, and find out Foster’s true character, the generous tears will flow—l cannot help it. How easy is it to get ,a wrong impression of a man ! I perceive that from childhood up lie Ims been a sweet, docile thing, full of pretty ways and gentle impulses ; the charm of the fire side ; tho admiration of society ; the idol of the Shnday School. 1 recognize in him the divinest nature that has ever glo rified any mere human being. I perceive that the sentiment with which lie regarded temperance was a thing thut amounted to frantic adoration 1 freely confess that it was the most natural thing in the world for such an or ganism as this to get drunk and insult a stranger and then beat hi* brains out with a car-hook because he did not seem to ad mire it. Such is Foster. Aud to think we came so near losing him ! How do we know that he is the advent ? And yet, after all, if the jury had not been hamper ed in their choice of a verdict 1 think 1 could consent to lose him ! The humorist who invented trial by jury played a colossal practical joke upon the world ? hut since we have the system we ought to try to respect it—a thing which is not thoroughly easy to do when we reflect that by command of the law the criminal juror must be an intellectual vacuum attached to a melting heart aud perfectly macaronian bowels of compas sion. 1 have had no experience in making laws or amending them, but still I cannot understand why, when it takes twelve men to inflict the death penalty upon a person, it should take any less thun twelve more to undo their work. If I were a Legislature and had jus! been elected, and had not lmd time to sell out, I would put the pardoning and commuting power into the hands of twelve able men, instead of dumping so huge a burden upon the shoulders of one poor petition-persecuted individual.

THE PKtuniUlll WEEKLY. IT is universally conceded that advertising is a necessity to success in business; it is also conceded, by tire shrewdest business men, that newspapers are the best medium for reaching all parties whose trade is desired. TIIE MONROE ADVERTISEII reaches more of the people trading with Ma con than any other journal published in the country; it is, therefore, the beet medium at communication with the planting interests. We will be happy at any time to furnish refer ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere, who will testify to the fact that they have re ceived orders for goods from parties who read . their cards in The Advertieer. In fact, many who have availed themselves of its columns, candidly say that its value exceeds that of all other journal* in which they are represented. The Advertieer has the freshness of youth and the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly successful. CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS. No advertisements are admitted whisk ar* not believed to be above question and of real value, and from parties so unquestlonsblf re liable that the readers of The Advertieer will be safe in ordering them from any distance. Te our readers, the fact of its appearance here has all the weight of endorsement and authority. Address, JAB. P. HARRISON, Forsyth, Georgia
