MACON, MAY 24 .'870.
From Pntnam County.
The general idea about the growing crops in
Pntnam is that about one acre of corn has been
planted to two of cotton. An early rain will
improve the appearance of both crop3 very
much. Some of the wheat and oat fields are
very promising, bnt all need rain. The weather
is very dry—and gardens are burning up. Cot
ton is looking very well, with generally a good
stand, although there are some exceptions, due
to indifferent seed or other causes. A good
any of the planters, we are glad to say, have
about equal areas in grain and cotton.
The Superior Court is holding an adjourned
term in Eatonton. A true bill was found against
Sandy Luther for killing Thomas G. Perryman,
and he will probably be tried this week. Also,
against Nathaniel Gorley, for killing .Richard
Lawrence, and a negro in the same case as ac
cessory for famishing Gorley with a knife.
Gorley has never been arrested. Court will
probably continue in session through the week.
Bullock’s Last Little Game.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Gazette, says “Bullock’s present scheme
is to secure tho adoption of a bill drawn by
Butler, which is identical with the Virginia bill,
save that it will contain a clause permitting the
organization of a negro militia. This is ap
parently a concession on the part of the Bnl-
lockitcs. It is really a trick. Bullock’s agents
say that if such a bill passes, the Legislature
can and will be perpetuated. Bullock is arrang
ing for this In Gftoroin. whila Ilia oaranta »ro «*
work in Washington.”
It will be remembered that a bill to this effect
has been agreed upon the Re-Construction com
mittee, but not yet acted upon by the House.
We are not without a strong hope that no bill
that extends the term of office of Bollock and
the miserable Atlanta agency can be passed
through both Houses.
A C haracteristic Return for Southern
Hospitality
In the debate in tho Senato Monday, Senator
Cameron “expressed his conviction as the re
sult of personal observations during a recent
visit to the South, that the rebellious spirit of
the people was still alive, as shown by the con
temptuous reference to Northern men. When
they appreciate their guilt, it would be time
enough to bestow clemency."
This man was at tho Georgia State Fair held
in Macon last November, and to our personal
knowledge, was the recipient of the kindest and
most generous hospitalities, both public and
private. Ho could not have been treated more
courteously anywhere in the North. And if we
are not most egregiously mistaken, he so ex
pressed himself to many gentlemen in this city.
He certainly made no sign of entertaining a
different opinion while here. And this is his
return for it all. Is it to be wondered at that
the Southern people are reluctant to take to
their homes and hearts men who repay kind
treatment by such wicked slanders.
IIow They Mean to Pass If.
The Courier Journal’s Washington special of
Wednesday says there was an exciting time that
day in tho Reconstruction Committee among
the Republican members as to the course to be
pursued when the .Georgia bill shall be brought
into the House,’and finally General Butler tri
umphed in tho result that the previous question
should be moved, debate cut off, and only per
mission given to the Democratic members of
the oommittee to offer amendments. This is a
scheme to prevent conservative Republicans
from amending the bill when the matter comes
up in the House. There is every prospect of a
lively time on the latest phase of tho intermin
able Georgia muddle.
An experiment over the Western Union Tel
egraph Company's wires of working a long cir
cuit through a number of repeaters, was tried
Sunday with remarkable success. Mr. R. C.
Duncan, chief operator at New Orleans, sent
through nine repeaters, one each at Rome, Ga.,
Lynchburg, Va., New York City and Pittsburg,
fivo at Cincinnati, and one each at St. Louis,
Chicago and Memphis, the writing returning to
New Orleans almost as clearly as when leaving
the office, having passed through eighteen
States and over four thousand eight hundred
miles of wires. Tho electric current traversed
the distance in about three-quarters of a sec
ond. The writing was transmitted as rapidly
as on an ordinary short wire.
Fobney is out against the bill for reimburs
ing tho losses of Southern loyalists, and the
New Orleans Times thinks he is right. The
Times says their principal loss was that of char
acter, and they have long ago supplied the va
cuum with a damaged substitute. Besides this,
as Forney naively says, “the rebels would be
come so bold as to demand of Government pay
ment for losses sustained by them in the war.”
AtiA that would’nt do, you know. Oh, no!
They might commence making inquiries in re
gard to the whereabouts of various pictures,
pianos, silverware, etc, and that would be ex
ceedingly unpleasant.
“No Postponement on Account op the
Weather.”—Some have supposed that the hot
and dry weather in Washington, conpled with
the dust and pungent odor d’Afrique, will lead
to the postponement of the further africaniza-
tion of Georgia till frost, Tho latest news,
however, announces that Gov. Bollock and the
sons of Ham have reported for duty, and the
curtain will now rise on the 14th act in the
drama. It is said that the fat will begin to fry
in the course of a week.
Whipping In Delaware, and So On*
The Herald of Sunday devotes three columns
to the “Story of the Lash” in Delaware—an
account of a special correspondent sent to New
castle to witness and report the shocking spec
tacle of seven petty thievea, tied np in the jail-
yard, one by one, and whipped. He was great
ly disappointed in the magnitude-of the hor
rors. There were few or no spectators of the
tragic scene, and the criminals, one after
another, were tied np to the post and re
ceived their twenty lashes with supreme in
difference. The lashes were not “well laid on”
in the terms of the law. The Sheriff, who is
the legal flagellator, did not do his duty, and
turned the punishment into pretty much of a
farce.
Delaware should either abolish whipping or
makeitapenoZfy. As matters stand, accord
ing to this report, ail tho world is abasing little
Delaware for the barbarity of her penal code,
whereas, in point of fact, the lash, as ad
ministered, is little or'no punishment at all in
respect to pain inflicted.
Bat the degradation—ah, the degradation
Think of tho degradation, says Sister Snooks.
A lash instead of a penitentiary cell—stripes
on the back instead of striped breeches, and half
shorn heads—a sweat box—the treadmill—suffo
cation by water—hanging by tho thumbs, or
baring a shorn head in an iron collar to the ac
tion of dripping water, which is said to bo the
most intolerable pnnishment known.
Well, we fail to see a greater personal indig
nity in the Delaware lash than in any of these
inventions of modem philanthropy. The male
factor is degraded by his crimes and not by the
punishment. Humanity demands that legal
nfinaiMoo ua us light as may consist with
the vindication of law, the suppression of crime,
and the maintenance of public order. All experi
ence goes to show that the certainty, and not the
severity of punishment diminishes crime. The
great practical vice of the law is its uncertainty
and its dely. It is practical nonsense to talk of
the degradation of penalties to that class of of
fenders who subsist by depredations upon the
industrious, and sap the foundations of the pub-
lio security and welfare by a system of petty
thieving. It is this class which do more mis
chief in every community than all others com
bined, and it is ibis class which is pecnliarly
destructive to tho property of Georgia. The
interests of society demand a system of criminal
jurisprudence which shall dispose of such cases
with tho same celerity and dispatch with which
they arise—which shall dispose of a man who
has robbed your premises or depredated on your
stock or crops during the night by 9 o’clock the
next morning, and administered some punish
ment, not excessive, and yet sufficient to satisfy
the rascal that, on the whole, it is better to work
than to steaL
As matters stand the machinery of semi-anna
al court sessions—Grand Jury indictments—long
trials and semi-occasional punishments is a prac
tical and costly humbug. It amounts to little or
nothing in the way of suppressing crime and
maintaining the rights of property. Here is
the grand point in which a reform is needed
more than any other.
Time to do Something.—A correspondent
cills our attention to the alleged fact that there
were three cases of pistolling in Macon last
week, and asks if it is not high time to stop this
business. We think so.
A Change Demanded.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Gazette writes, last Tuesday, as follows
Some of the Associated Press Agents in the
South need reconstructing badly. The agent
at Atlanta needs looking after particularly, as it
is very evident he is merely the tool of Bollock
& Co. On tho 10th instant he telegraphed that
Bollock had commenced a suit for libel against
the Atlanta Constitution, accompanying the
statement with an entirely gratuitous threat
from his carpet-bag Excellency.
We endorse every word of this opinion.
This Atlanta agent does need looking after very
badly. He does not give satisfaction at all, we
know, to the newspapers composing the South
ern Press Association. They are fully con
vinced that be is not a proper person for the
position he holds, and at their late meeting at
Savannah, passed a resolution requesting Mr.
Simonton to remove him, and to appoint in his
stead Mr. Hemphill, of the Constitution. When
Mr. Simonton returns from Europe, his atten-
tention will be called to the matter, and an im
mediate change asked.
Tho fact of the agent’s being an employee of
the Western Union Telegraph Company was
deemed by the Association sufficient reason, of
itself, to ask a change, even if there had been no
other ground for dissatisfaction. But they are
dissatisfied for other reasons, and the instance
alluded to by the Gazette’s correspondent will
not tend to change their opinion.
Agents of the Associated Press are not sup
posed to have any politics as officials, and are
expected to send only facts—not opinions or
speculations, and, least of all, personal threats
or menaces. If any such are indulged, let the
utterer give them publicity as specials.
We have had our attention directed more
than once before, to such derelictions of duty
on the part of this Atlanta agent, and we re
peat the hope that at an early a day as possible,
the resolution of the Southern Press Associa
tion looking to a change, will be carried into
practical effect. We know it will not be the
fault of those charged with the work, if it is not
speedily done.
Sonllicrn Cultivator Receipt Books.
We have reoeived, through the courtesy of
Mr. O. D. Camp, of the Cultivator office, Athens,
a copy of the above named receipt book, just
published by him. It appers to be an admira
ble collection of receipts of various kinds com
piled from the files of the Cultivator, and will,
wo doubt not, have a largo sale. It certainly
deserves substantial appreciation by the public.
Wagons & Oabbiages.—Smith, Westcott &
Co., on Cherry street, just above us, are doing
an active business in all manner of rolling stock
for dirt roads, including a particular description
of wagons, which they advertise in another
place. They are very strong and serviceable
wagons, which anybody can see who will exam
ine them.
A writer, signing himself “Canton," sends ns
a communication on “City Speculations.” He
ought to know, it seems to us, that we pay no
attention to any communications unless the
Writer sends his real name with them. This is
a rule that will never be violated in this office.
We hope “all it may concern” will make a note
of the fact.

From the Memphis Conference.
Memphis, May 16, 1870.
Editors 1 degraph and Messenger :
The Committee on Education made a report
on the speoial subject of ministerial education,
which had been referred, with directions to re
port immediately. They repudiated tho idea
that Methodism was opposed to an educated
ministry, and as earnestly denounced the charge
that they desired to substitute learning for the
power of the Holy Ghost Also declared that
education unsanctified was dangerous, and
would lead to disaster.
Referring to the fact that many of our early
ministry were uneducated and did most effi
cient work; but all admitted that if they had
been educated, this usefulness would have been
greatly enhanced. They hoped that an educa
tional requirement would never be demanded of
applicants for the ministership into our Con
ferences. They designed no such thing. Still
the time had arrived that greater attention
should be given to the cultivation of our min
istry. This they argued from many considera
tions, and thought there was no division among
Methodists upon this point. They recommended
a theological institute for the benefit of candi
dates, under the direction of tho Bishops, hut
leaving it optional with each candidate whether
he attended or not. They do not make it com
pulsory upon any one, leaving all to decide for
themselves when they shall go forth into the
regular ministry.
The minority, under tho load of Dr. Craven,
of North Carolina, made a report demurring
against tho establishment of a theological insti
tute, which was signed by nine members of the

Both reports were laid on the table.
The Conference resolved to hold an afternoon
session.
The report from the Committee on Itinerancy
referring to the abolishing of tho vestive rule
in the pastorate, Dr.-L. O. Garland, of the
University of Mississippi, had the floor. He
spoke in favor of the measure, and a general
discussion ensued, and finally the whole subject
was indefinitely postponed.

mission appointed at the last General Confer

Of crop prospects, the Sun discourses as fol

Here, and in the country adjacent hereto, a
drought has entered on its sixth week. During
a larger portion of this time, high cold winds
have prevailed. The result so far has been that
the oat crop is well nigh destroyed, and the
wheat crop considerably shortened. Com and
cotton have stood the test remarkably well,
though both have been injured to some extent
Upon stiff lands the stand of cotton is defective,
and on light lands it is dying out At the pres
ent writing the prospect for rain is not promis
ing, nor is the prospect for a crop. . The spring
was backward, and neither com or com have
been able to grow much. Between this and the
first of July, the weed of the cotton plant must
be made; after that time comes the fruiting
season. Without propitious seasons during this
interval, the crop must bo shortened. Crops
are clear from grass and in good condition for
rain, and if we can get one not accompanied by
hail and wind, we may be able in a faw days to
chronicle a more cheerful state of affairs for the
farmer. We may add that the berry crop, by
reason of the dry weather, is small and back
ward.

The Columbus Enquirer answers the ques
tion : “Where does the money go,” with the fol
lowing facts that ought to startle the country:
The question has been frequently asked of
late “What has gone with the money ?” We
are prepared to throw a little light on the sub
ject. On Saturday last the Montgomery and
West Point Railroad brought to the depot at
this city, thirty-six heavily laden cars; Monday
20; yesterday 40, and for the past ten days an
average of 22—all freighted chiefly with com,
hay, floor and bacon. Total in ten days 220
car loads of Western produce and provisions to
one little Southern city—and that a city which
some people consider dead. Well, when we
take into consideration that this is only a drop
in the bncket, when compared to tho flood tide
that has been pouring into all the villages,
towns, cities and cross-road groceries in the
cotton States, can there longer be any wonder
what goes with the cotton money. Instead of
remaining here to improve onr lands, build
railroads, factories, and strengthen industry
generally, it has all gone West and North to buy
victuals, clothes, fertilizers, etc. Not only is
this the case, bnt many planters, throughout
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, are actually
mortgaging the next cotton crop to obtain sup
plies to make it. If this is not suicide in the
first degree, we sbonld like to know what yon
call it. Is it any wonder that business of all
descriptions is languishing, and the vast major
ity of onr people find it difficult to eke out a
miserable existence.

The opening of a Lodge of Sorrow, and the
services by the Supreme Council Of the Ancient

never before transpired ia this city, took place
last night in the grand saloon of the Masonic

The Lodge was opened in the main saloon,
and the services were held to commemorate the
deaths of several distinguished members of the

place since the meeting of the Supreme Coun

The main saloon was hung in festoons of black
aronnd the four walls, with white rosettes sus

flowers, and burning beside it three oandles of

In an article upon the resources and finan
cial condition of Texas, the Galveston News
says:
In this respect onr situation is trnly enviable
as compared with the almost hopeless state of
bankruptcy into whioh moat of the other South
ern States have beenplunged. Oar Stateis now
out of debt Indeed, according to the Gov
ernor’s message, we have some thousands of
dollars in the treasury over tho payment of
every ascertained obligation. The amount on
hand, on the 16th of April last, exclusive of the
school and other special funds, was $2,952.97,
specie, and $368,426.75, currenoy, after all de
ductions. We do not think this can be said of
any other Southern State, if, indeed, of any
other State in the Union. Bnt if we are to
judge of (he future financial legislal’on of our
own law-makers now in session from that of the
other States of the Sonth, we may naturally
look for a debt of many millions by the time
our Legislature adjourns.
You may, without a shadow of a doubt. If
the crowd calling themselves a Legislature in
your State do iiot improve npon all the prece

THE BUBIAL SERVICE.
After an opening anthem by the choir, the
ritual of the Episcopal burial service was read
by the Sovereign Grand Commander, who was
responded to by the Grand Senior and Junior
Wardens in the South and West.
At the close of each of the three portions into
which the service was divided, one of the three
burning candles was extinguished by the Junior
Deacon of the Council, who advanced to the
coffin for that purpose.
The Sovereign Grand Commander then men
tioned the names of the deceased brothers, and
read distinctly the formal but exquisitely mourn-
fal “Words of Sorrow” appropriated to their
memories, after which tho choir sang, with
great feeling, the following anthem:
Among the dead our brother sleeps ;
Bis life was rounded true and well,
And Love in bitter sorrow weeps
Above his dark and silent cell.

As Hiram slept, the widow’s son,
So doth our brother tako liis rest;
Life's battle fought, Life's duties done,
His faults forgot, his worth confessed.
So let him sleep that dreamless sleep,
Our sorrows clustering round his head;
Be comforted, ye loved, who weep,
Ho lives with God: he is not dead.
The Sovereign Grand Commander thon, af
ter prayer and other readings of the service,
said: “Come, my Brethren, with me around
the coffin where the last remains of our broth
ers repose; aid me in paying the last honors
to their memories.” The Supreme Council
thereupon left the platform, preceded by the
Grand Commander, and circled about the cas
ket three times, pausing each time to cross the
arms and bow before the remains and saying
thrice, “farewell, farewell, farewell.”
The Council thon returned to the platform,
and after prayer a voluntary was performed
upon the organ, immediately after which the
candles surrounding the coffin were successive
ly relighted by the Junior Deacon, the last one
'og relighted upon tho pronunciation of the
words: “Death is swallowed up in victory: O,
Death, where is thy sting ? O, Grave, whore is
thy victory ?” The will of God is accomplished;
blessed be the name of the Lord.”
An anthem was then sung, and the Sovereign
Commander said: “In Egypt, among oar old
masters, where Masonry was more cultivated
than Vanity, no one could gain admittance to
the Sacred Asylum of the Tomb until he had
passed under the most solemn judgment. A
grave tribunal sat in judgment npon all, even
the kings. Masonry has no snch tribunal to sit
npon her head, but rho requires that whatever
is said in her behalf concerning them shall be
the simple truth.
“Brother orator, let Masonry, through thy
lips, speak to ns of onr brothers who have gone
away from us; tell us the story of their lives,

graces. No political asperities enter in this cir
cle, where unkindly things aro not kept out by the
Tyler’s sword, but where the motto shines prom
inent— ll Masonrie Oblige.” Masonry teaches
seaoe, toleration, brotherly affection. The All-
seeing Eye in the centre of, the cirole, to whioh
all things tend, and whioh upholds all, as in the

We live in an age of fancy and imagination,
as well as of praotioal life; we hear it said that
money buys everything—talent, place, suooess,
power, fame and honor; but there is still some^
thing greater, for every one seeks sighingly for
what seems still denied him, pining for the
wings of the morning to fly away and be at
rest. The poet who made Erin’s harp so melo
dious, represented that “a Peri at the gate of
Eden stood disconsolate,” who had vainly
sought for the talisman for entrance; who had
tried the depths of humen joy and woe, patri
otism, martyrdom and Icve; but found it at last
in the sublimity of repentance.
the dead; it is to admonish the living; to incite
us to take home with us the recollections of the
good deeds of onr departed friends, taking them
as examples for our guidance. They were rich
in honor; they illustrated and adorned Bodety
and practical life, the bench, the bar, and the
councils of the nation. For them, Masonry
brings s great regret and sorrow. They had
not to chide themselves fortune misspent; they
bad labored as Masons, and loved their breth
ren; they made few hgTnli judgments, and threw
the mantle of charity over the failings of their
fellows. Masonry has no need to be ashamed,
but much to be proud of, in the lesson of their
lives. Who does not recall the illustrious rep
resentative of the mother of statesmen ? Who
can forget the noble two from Georgia, one
struggling with the storms of States, and fall
ing with his falling State ? They have passed
away; their rapture and glory now the angels
only know.
Most puissant Commander, my task is nearly
finished. With particular forms of church and
religion Masonry has nothing to do. Its mis
sion is to dispel ignorance and conquer fanati
cism. AU men of every creed may enter and
worship in the temple which it has bnilt. Ma
sonry is still stronger than the philosophy
which tho East has taught; it teaches troth
gathered from the past, which have been made
glorious by succeeding ages. It inculcates
upon all the observance in the earthly career
of the duties which she has made typical in
her ceremonies, whether derived from the arch
itecture of Greece, or from the more ancient
mysteries, no matter whence it may have
spnmg, it is proper to say that Scottish Free
Masonry means work. Its symbols, are but
drapery; the Mason most search their hidden
meaning in snch a way that when he looks back
npon the ending of the Masonic year, he may
exclaim, in the words of Richelieu: “France,
I love thee; all earth shall never tear thee
from my heart; who shall proclaim divorce be
twixt me and thee?”
Mr. Hillier was followed by Wm. L. Mitchell,
of the Supreme Council, who gave a rapid
sketch of the lives of Cobb and Rockwell, two
of the deceased dignitaries of the ConnciL The
Cobbs, he said, came originally from Wales.—
Howell Cobb was bom in Georgia in September,
1816. He removed to Athens, at whose State
University hegraduated. Ho afterwards studied
law with Gen. Arden, and entered practice in
1836. In the following year he was elected
Solicitor General of tho Western Circuit, In
1842 he went to Congress, and was returned for
four successive terms. He was afterwards elect
ed Governor of Georgia, and was elected again
to Congress for the last time in 1753, beoame
Secretary of the Treasury under President Bu
chanan, and entered the Confederate service,
having attained the rank of Brigadier General
when the army surrendered. In 1840 he was
made a Mason, receiving in daetime the several
and highest degrees. In connection with others
he greatly advanced the status of Masonry in
the Sonth, having been a working member of
the Order for fourteen years. He was very
social in bis nature, and mingled among tbe
Lodges with great zest, and never lost bis taste
for such enjoyments. Hehadadmirable talents
for the association of Masonry. It was not so
much to mere intellect that wo look for charac
ter—rather to the heart. He gave to friend and
foe, many of whom were relieved they know
not how. He was distinguished by many vir
tues. He was stricken down by apoplexy while
on his way to Niagara Falls, and died in New
York.
Mr. Mitchell also spoke of Mr. Rockwell,
whose family existed in the time of the Con
queror, and of their emigration to this country
in 1630. Ha removed from New England to
Georgia when young, and took charge of the
old Georgia Journal, which he edited a long
time. He was a poet, and displayed exqnisite
taste. He was a great student, his knowledge
of languages embracing Greek, Latin, French
and Hebrew, nor was his knowledge the mere'
smattering of the sciolist He explored the
circles of the sciences, and no man in America
could throw more light upon the Eastern hiero
glyphics than be. Mr. M. compared him to Sir
Wm. Jones, and said that he had studied muni
cipal law as a science, was acquainted with the
chief masters on tho civil law, and was by na
ture a logician, addressing the understanding.
For twenty years he had studied everything that
could throw light upon speculative Free Mason
ry. He died, aged 61, in Maryland.
Mr. Mitchell further alluded to the two char-
acters ho had so briefly sketched, and was fol
lowed by
Albert G. Mackey, Secretary of the Snpreme
Council, who spoke until a late hoar.
The ceremonies were most impressive, and
the masio selected from Trovatore and other
operas, most excellently rendered by the corps
of amateur singers, under the leadership of
Prof. Geo. V. Walter, organist of Dr. Lay-
burn’s church.
The Supreme Council will meet in consisto-
rial session to-morrow, for tho transaction of
business appertaining to the Order; and at
night, in tho saloon at the Temple, will install
the officers and dignitaries of the Grand Con
sistory of Maryland, when the Knights Templar
will publicly escort them from Neal’s building,
on Baltimore street, to the Temple. The Ger
mania Mtennerchoir have kindly offered their
services for the occasion,
since last Tuesday night, without cessation,
sleep or rest, was literally jammed with deep
ly interested spectators. Shortly after sup
per a living stream of human beings poured
into the room and filled every nook and corner.
The air, breathed by so many, became hot
and impure, and showers of perspiration
fell freelv from the faces of the curiosity-
loving crowd. Mr. Sheppard, however pre-
fered that the room should be kept warm, as
the letting in of too much cool air gave him
cramps. At 10 o’oloek he wore a rather melan
choly look, and seemed to be almost completely
fagged out. He kept his mouth open, and his
eyes had a glassy appearance. He nevertheless
kept moving, with Ids head hanging somewhat
forward and downward. There was a continued
buzz of voices in the room, and tbe crowd would
greet him with such expressions as, “Only 20
minutes, Jack!” “Keep up your courage; you’ll
make it 1” “Give him the bottle!” “Get down!”
“Rub him up!” He continued to stare at the
crowd with the utmost indifference, and seemed
bent on accomplishing his object. His trainer
continued to fan him vigorously and occasionally
to punish bis legs rather severely. When one
of the judges went up to take him down, the
crowd gave a vociferous yell of applause. He
was taken from the plank just after 11 o’clock,
laid upon the floor and dressed, daring the per
formance of whioh office it seemed impossible
to keep the crowd off his body, so eager were
they to observe the wonderfnl pedestrian in the
last agonies of his peculiar triumph. When he
was taken out, the crowd made a rush through
the narrow door, and broke down the inner par
tition of tho room. Attaining the outside, the
whole street, as far as the Mechanics’ Exchange,
to which he was taken, was crowded with peo
ple, who soon dispersed, on finding the door of
the establishment closed against them.—Jfas7i-

Discovery of the Original Documents fob
the Books of Genesis.—Mr. Charles Welford,
in his last London letter to tho Book Buyer,
published in New York by Scribner, Welford &
Co., gives an account of the remarkable an-
nouncement jnst made by Sir Henry Bawlinson
before the Asiatic Society. It is not merely that
iMa eminent Oriental scholar claims to have dis
covered the original recoids from which the
Book of Genesis was composed, bnt he illus
trates his position by details of the most strik
ing kind. He himself said:
The progress now reached in the collection and
arrangement of the Nineveh inscribed frag
ments, made it beyond a doubt that they would
be able to derivo the whole of the history given
in the Book of Genesis, from the time of Abra
ham, from the original documents; and it was
not too much to expect that almost the same
facts and descriptions wonld be fonnd in the
Bible. He hoped very soon to have ready a
paper on the Garden of Eden (Paradise,] in
which he would show that was the natural name
of Babylon. The river bore the same name,
and the Babylonian documents gave an exact
geographical account of the Garden of Eden.
The flood and the Tower of Babel wonld be
fonnd to be most amply illustrated in Babyloni
an doenments.

The Committee of the Massachusetts Legis
lature went all the way to Nantucket to look in

walked down to consult with the city fathers in

The Arcade Bill.—The "World says that
Governor Hoffman’s objections to tho Arcade
Railway bill are; to be regarded merely as rea
sons for framing a new Dill to accomplish the
same object. The Governor has only shown
that this bill ought not to become a law. But
there can be no difficulty in framing a new one
that will obviate all his greater objections; and
the minor objections must yield to the urgent
necessity for better and quicker means of com
munication.

From the New York JTerald, Bay 13. J
Additional intelligence in regard to the
great forest conflagration in Sullivan, Orange,
Delaware, Dutchess and Madison counties of
this State has been received. Never before
have these mountain flres raged so furiously
or extended over so large an amount of terri
tory. It i3 generally believed by persons liv
ing in those counties, that the conflagration
was started by the hand of an incendiary. In
those regions where the fires broke out live
many persons who are called gipsies, who re
side in shanties which have been erected in
remote nooks on the mountain side and other
solitary; places that are seldom reached by the
more civilized world. These gipsies are de
scribed as a thriftless community, having no
regard for, and, therefore, no love for, the in
dustrious farmers and woodsmen who live
near them, and it is believed that they set fire
to the underbrush, well knowing that the
flames would extend to the forest proper, and
spread many miles in extent.
THE LOSS.
Usually these fires—which more or less oc
cur every spring—have been confined to dis
tricts of limited extent and value, but this
spring they have ravaged thousands of acres
of valuable woodland, destroying millions of
trees and cords ot cut wood, logs, ship joints
and hark. The loss, so far as it has been as
certained, is estimated at over $5,000,000, not
one cent of which is covered by insutance.
For the most part the fires have been con
fined to the mountains, but covered in their
march an extent of territory one hundred
miles in length. The Sullivan county forests
have been burnt for a distance of twenty
miles. The Delaware county woodlands have
been devastated some fifteen miles. In both
of these localities the fires are still raging. In
Orange county the flaming tempest has spent
its strength, and the mountain ridges and nill-
sides are a smoldering waste of land.
A SCENE OP DESOLATION.
The whole country thereabout presents a
scene of utter desolation. During the height
of the conflagration the country for a long
stretch of mile3 was overhung with dense
clouds of smoke. At some points cinders and
chaff floated about in the air currents and
were scattered in showers over the villages
and farms, in several instances kindling into
flames upon barns, fields, and dwellings. The
population was all in commotion and terror.
BLOOD-RIYEBS AND BROOKS.
The rivers and brooks were blood-r§d from
the reflected flames. In some places the water
was steaming hot Thousands of fishes,
snakes, birds and squirrels perished and float
ed upon the surtace. The crags and rocky
walls of the mountain sides were baked by the
intense heat, and many of the bowlders are
cracked and crumbled. Here and there the
bones of wild animals (and some cattle) tell
the story of the holocaust tragedy. The deep
gorges and ravines seemed like minature gates
of the bottomless pit gaping out fierce flames,
smoke and heat Where the trees were dry,
and piles of wood and bark had been stored,
there arose vast volumes of white and red
flames, towering toward the sky. Such was
the terrifying influence of the sight that the
dumb beasts, the horses and cattle in the vi
cinity, fled in alarm, and the night echoes
were resonant with their bleatings, neighs and
lowings.
A FIERY TRAIN.
Along the Erie railway track the rails at
one place were twisted out of shape and the
ties burned. The heat was so intense that la
borers could not repair the damage for hours.
The trains, however, suffered no long deten
tion. The Cincinnati express train eastward
bound from Summit, rushed through a sea
of flame and smoke for nearly a mile. The
road had previously been tested by an extra
engine. Although the train had been wet
ana prepared for the passage, the glowing
heat blistered the paint, ana the windows
were stained with smoke. The engineer and
fireman were slightly singed.

When the line of spliced ladders had crept j;.

variations of the performance took place

were on the opposite arms of the cross. The
standing upon the top of the cross and the
climbing about its arms continued for sect
time, when the men descended, leaving their
ladders for a continuation of the performance
to-day.
The crowd cheered when the top of the cross
was reached—that is, the boys iu the crowd
cheered. The men were sober observers.
One strong fellow tinned from the sight with
the remark that it was too much for his
nerves. Others shuddered audibly, and
wished aloud for the men to come down, bat
still they continued to look. Men who had
passed at four o’clock, when the work began,
rnturned and saw it completed at sundown.
Everybody expressed relief when the men
came down, and many gave vent to regrets
that the perilous work would be continueato-
day.
Tlie Secret or Advertising.
The secret of advertising is not yet discov
ered by all who advertise. A good deal of
money and space is wasted in clumsy an
nouncements, which nobody reads, heavy
standing placards, which no more stimulate
purchasers than the names on sigDS. Moth
money is also wasted in circulars, which are
thrown into entries and down cellarways, and
always received with contempt, or in so-called
advertising sheets, whichnohody reads. There
is no medium that comes into such close cob-
tact with the people as the newspaper; and if
advertisers only understood their business,
they could make their part of the paper as
interesting as any other part of it In many
of the German papers, advertising is carried
to an extent of which we have no idea. The
newspaper is the real, exchange. Everybody
goes to it with all his wants, and almost all
tris woes. The consequence is that the sheets
arc as lively .as neighborhood gossip, and often
the pages devoted to advertising are the best
parts or the paper. Aud the papers are read
through. The announcements aro always
short, always “transient,” and one looks at
them in the morning to see what the world
has to offer him that day, by way of business
or amusement Perhaps his next door neigh
bor has a rare piece of china or a choice en
graving to sell, or he would like to get an odd
number of some serial, which you happen to
have; somebody, somewhere, , announces
something that interests you, and so life is
made more endurable, trade is quickened, and
general wants are supplied. We look to see
a more general use of the advertising columns
of newspapers in the country, for all the wank
and queries of life.—Hartford Courant.
By far the most awful spectacle and calam
ity yet reported occurred on Sunday night
near Deposit station. As darkness gathered
over the dying day the fire had reached the
base of the West Mountains, and before nine
o’clock had completely encircled one of the
prominent peaks as with a girdle of fire. The
flames roared and crackled with horriblcsound
as they swept up the hill-side. The glare
brilliantly illuminated the whole adjacent re
gion. A party of sportsmen returning through
a gorge on the opposite side heard shouts and
cries of distress, apparently proceeding from
the flaming forest. Looking up through the
flame and smoke, they thought they discovered
the forms of a man and woman upon a rocky
height, swaying their arms to .ana fro. The
cries continued, and one of the party is sure
that he afterward caught a glimpse of a child
in the woman’s arms. Soon after the walls of
flame shut out all view, and the cries ceased.
The horrified witnesses, driven away by the
heat to a greater distance, lingered as near as
possible, but neither saw nor heard any more.
. [t is believed that the persons thus seen were
a man, wife, and child named Hough, who
lived in a shanty in a remote place ou the
barrens, and in escaping across tne ridge were
hemmed in upon the rooks where seen, and so
perished in the conflagration. Search is to he
made for their remains.
NARROW ESCAPES.
A number of instances of narrow escapes
and more or less serious injuries are reported.
A large number of poor people have been thus
bereft of home, goods, and means of a liveli
hood, and, what is worse for them, no oppor
tunity for indemnification seems probable, as
the country itself is not, in their vicinity, very
productive. Altogether this is the most seri
ous devastation oi the kind ever known in
this State.

riest sight he ever saw was “a team of sorry
