A SCARED INDIAN. (cullin'* Ent “Seorpltim Ilns*’—A Disrelish for Shrimps. iFiom tho Virginia (N07.) Enterprise.] It is said that it is next to impossible to as* ;jsish an Indian, bnt wo astonished, frighten- tland disgusted a whole Hook of the “children j tho desert,” a day or two since, and with a sere handfnl of shrimps. A drove of aborigi- :a, numbering over a dozen, male and female, great and small, had settled down, sqnat upon lie pound, just off the sidewalk, in front of a Lirkot and fruit stand (a favorite plaoo of re sort with them) and were in the midst of what, to them, was a great feast. Upon an old shawl, is tbe center of their circle, was heaped a lot of h»If-rottcn apples, damaged cherries, soured strawberries, and other offal from the stand bo lero which they bad equated. Among the male Indians was Smoke Crook Sam, who, with lead thrown back, was each moment dropping into his gaping month wads of strawberries, squeezed together, stems and all, of the size of codfish balls; some of the little Injuns were imearcd to the eyes with a lathery mess, half <rawberrics and half dirt, which they scooped np and held to their faces with both hands, while even the most comely among the squaws bad a dab of rotten apple upon the end of her nose which that organ had carried away as a trophy during somo one cf the frequent visits of her industrious mouth to the deep interior of a slushy pippin. One hideons old woman had raked a lo: of decayed cherries into her lap, “ and munched, and munched, and munched.” Under the vigorous attack of so many diligent Uanda and capacious and willing months the mound of vegetable garbage was soon swept away. Wiping their smeared paws upon their hips, they rested them in their laps, sighed and ■s*/ licking their bp.% and looked at each other, the very picture of “ bloated ease.” Taking a handful of shrimps from a box we found in the market, wo approached the group of savages, and began eating them, by way of experiment upon their nerves. At tot they looked curiously on, and some of the more ju venile rose to their feet in order to have a bet ter view of the new and terriblo esculent. At a respectful distance they stood and.gazed with lips curled up, teeth set and noses wrinkled. The bucks shrugged their shoulders as each fresh “bug” was hulled out and eaten, and the squaws drow down their months and spat upon tbe ground. The whole party closely watched each shrimp as it was sucked’and gobbled np, the general disgust each moment increasing. Shoving tho half dozen crnstaceons specimens remaining in our hand toward the nose of a “brave” of some nine “snows,” adorned, ns to bis head, in a man’s cast-off plug, and as to his nether limbs, in a pair of unmentionables of b&ke-oven capacity in the rear, that incipient warrior began “crawfishing,” hi3 moon Byes rap idly becoming moonier, when we suddenly thumbed at him the empty shell of a shrimp we bad just finished. By chance it lit upon a lock of hair hanging over his forehead, and remained for a moment dangling before his eyes. Hr. made one grab for it, then turned a back summerset over the old cherry munchor. He came up run ning, and with his plug down over his eyes, bnt finally dropped suddenly upon his knees, and with his bead between a Chinese wood-peddler’s legs. Tho other youngsters scampered in all direc tions, like a brood of startled qnail, while the squaws hastily snatched np the papooses, which, in their wicker-baskets, were lying about or standing against awning-posts and empty boxes, and hastily slinging them upon their backs, drew tho straps thereof across their foreheads, and made tracks np the street at a rolling gal lop, which resembled'the stampede of a flock of fat wethers in full wool. Tbe old hag men tioned as the “cherry-muncher,” hanging to the dead branch of a cedar, polled herself along in the rear of the stampeders with astonishing S . At the distance of thirty yards she to get her wind, and seeing that she was not pursued, faced about. Holding the staff in both hands, and resting her wrinkjed and ven erable now> on its top, she looked ont at ns from undeT her mop of grizzled hair like an uneasy owl man ivy bush. Some of the bucks sullenly marched away, casting backward glanoes from malevolent eyes, but smoke Creek Sam stood his gronnd. Ho, too, was outraged, bnt as he had not yet had tone to beg a handfnl of smoking tobacco, he referred his indignant retreat. Extracting the pith of a particularly plump and healthy shrimp, wo approached Sam with it. “Yon no fetch urn. ho said, waving ns back with his hand. No fetch nm me, you! Glaahop purty gooca; bucket, mo eat nm; soorpiom bug too plenty bad, same like debbil, make Injnn man big high np sick; d—n scorpium bug!” We now saw it all. Knowing nothing of shrimps, tho Indians supposed wo were devouring scorpions (which they greatly resemble, and which the red men see bnt too much of,) hence all their disgust and tenor. The Famine in Pjebsia.—The stories of the Persian famine, resalting from long drouth and crop failure last year, are terrible. The people are literally dying of hanger in the streets of Teheran. In Khorassan parents are* selling their children as slaves to the Turoomans in or der to keep them alive, and in Ispahan, 03 is said, men have boen seized in the act of dig- filng up corpses to serve as food for their star ving families. Ia Shiraz-Kerman and Yezd the wretched families endeavor to support life on the grass and roots which they may find in tho neighborhood, and, as might be expected, pestilence follows hard on the footsteps of fam- mo; between them, the half of the kingdom of Persia is being rapidly depopulated. . The New Cotton Exchange Building is now ) iogross. The location chosen is the prop erty occnpled by the Hanover Buildings, bounded by Pearl and Stone streets and Han over Square, about "TO feet front by 75 feet beep. The building will be three stories high, irith the Exchange on the first floor.

Monticello, June 20, 1871, Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Mr. John Foss, the agent of the people of Jasper county, as stated in a letter heretofore published in the Teixgbaph, reached Monticello on tho 15th inst., bringing with him twenty-one emigrants from Sweden, eleven mcle3 and ton females. A more intelligent and healthy looking lot of men and women it wonldbe difficult to find anywhere. Theso emigrants have been sent for by the peo ple of the county, and aro all now domiciled in their new homes. Mr. Foss, who is himself a mechanic, imme diately went into the employment of Messrs. Talmage & Scharplng, carriage makers, until the 1st of September next, when he proposes to return to Sweden with orders for a large num ber of laborers to be brought to this section of Georgia. Mr. Foss, who is u young Swede of intelligence and high character, feels that in aid ing to bring laborers to the county, he i3 bene fiting Iris adopted country and also aiding the the |pocr of his own overcrowded land. No risk is incurred of loss of money by those or dering laborers through Mr. Foss. Mr. Foss says he can secure any number of emigrants. The money required to bo advanced is paid to his agent, Mr. N. B. White, a merchant of high character, and by him deposited in bank in New York, to be drawn when the emigrants arrive there. Mr. Fos3 will remain at Monticello where those desiring to secure labor through his inter vention can seo him or consult him by letter. B. JosU Billings on Strawberries. The strawberry iz one nv natur’s sweet pets. She makes them worth fifty cents, the fust she makes, and never allows them tew be sold at a mean price. The culler nv the strawberry is liko tho set ting of the sun, under a thin cloud, with a deli cate dash nv the rain bo in it; its fragrance iz like the breath nv a baby when it first begins to eat wintergTeen lozzingers; its flavor iz liko the negtar which an old-fashioned goddes used to leave in the bottom nv the tumbler, when Jupi ter stood treat on mount ida. There iz many breeds of this delightful vege table, bnt not a mean one in tho hull lot. I think I have stole them, laying around loos, without any pedigree, in somebody’s tall grass, when I was a lazy schoolboy, that eat dredfnl easy, without any white sugar on them, and even a bug occasionally mixed with them in the hurry ov the moment. Cherrys is good, but they are tew mnch liko sacking a marble with a han- dle<tew it. Peaches is good, if you don’t get enny ov the pin feathers intew yure lips. Wa termelons will ante ennjbody who is satisfied with half-sweetened drink; bnt the man who con cat strawberry, besprinkled with crushed sugar and bespattered with kream (at somebody else's expense,) and not lay his hand on his stummak, and thank the Author ov strawberries and stummak3, and the phellow who pjiys for the strawberries, is a man with a worn out con science—a man whose month tastes liko a hole in the gronnd, and don’t care what goes down. Baltimobe Beaut?.—One afternoon, early in April, I walked on Baltimoro Street with a re presentative citoyenne, herself and the day alike gracious and beantifnl. “Now observe,” said she: “here comes the prettiest girl in Balti more t” It was as though she said, Behold the most extravagant woman of New York, the most exclusive woman of Philadelphia, the most critical woman of BostoD, tho most mys terious woman of Washington. It was as though she said, “Now see a Sight!” I looked and beheld an apparition such as the native, to such visions born, would recog nize as presenting the truest, purest type of that Beauty which wo describe in a word as “Baltimorean.” Not tho “Indigenous blonde," conscientiously portrayed by Mr. Fairfield— with flaxen hair, skin of alabaster untinted, and very dark eyes; form of exceeding full ness, though not tall: “hands and feet that are models of civilization—full, full, soft, well- rounded, yet nervous withal—tbe former tip- ped with pink fingernails, as if all the blush of the woman’s heart were concentrated in the ten smooth, elongated, pink gibbouses.” No, not the indigenous blonde, who is more than half Virginian, but that rarer product, hybrid and matchless, which results from con ditions of climate, sexual selection, and culture strictly local, dark brown hair, sheeny with the ripple that artists love; large, soft, profound eyes, almond shaped as in Turkish harems, mixed of hazel and afcadowy gray, and pensive and tender under long fringing lashes; nose nearly Grecian, bnt with more individuality in their outline; lips short, bnt full and budding and osculatory; chin fine and dimpled, and promising to be double in its matronago; brow, temples, oheeks transparently fair, and contin ually 11 coming and going” with shy flushes of emotional color; neck, shoulders, arms present ing (yon may he swom) fine rhythmical curves and cunning dimples at every turn, and divinely blending and diffusing misty pinks and whites; “A crystal brow, the Moon’s despair, And tho Snow’s daughter, a white hand person moderately plump, but elastic and flex ile ; and movements of neck, shoulders, waist, hips, arms, ankles undulating and insinuating. These are the characteristics and typical points of the “beauty/"par excellence, of tho Monu mental City.—From Baltimore Beauty, by J. W. Parker, in July number of Lippincott's Magazine. ^ . . A Gband DiqoovEEY.—Tho block coal recent ly discovered in Illinois, near Oarondelet, al though only thirty feet below the surface of the ground, is the lowest vein of the coal formation yet found in this vicinity. The reason this has Volume LXIV—No. 52 and scientific pretenders have enco of any coal below the two-foot vein, on tho theory that what they do not know does not ex ist. An assayer has made an analysis of a speci men of this block coal, and found it to contain less ashes than is contained in anthracite coal. He was so mnch surprised at the result of his assay that he refused to give a statement of it until after ho could be satisfied it was a fair, sample of the body of the ooal, saying it wa3 incredible, and then remarked, if it was a fair sample and could be fonnd in quantity, that the Si. Louis G&alight Company would go on their knees for it. One of the most prominent iron manufac turers of Western Pennsylvannia, who is thor oughly Informed of the immense iron forma tions in Dent, Crawford, and Phelps counties, in this State, upon examining specimens of this block eoal, remarked if it can be found in quantity it will revolutionize the iron interests of the United States, and that Pennsylvania iron manufacturers had better poll up their stakes and come here as soon as possible.—St. Louiis Democrat. , *'• The great praotical political question in this oonntry for several years, has been whether the Democratic or Republican party could be man aged with the most complete folly._ The Dem ocratic managers have succeeded in being bigger fools than the Republicans.

Mr. Parnell, living near West Point, has shipped three hundred bushels of peaches to to New York this season. • P. T., of the Savannah News, doesn’t intend J to take Rome in his tour, this summer. At ’ least we think it wouldn’t be healthy for in™, judging from the following scandalous para graph: Iv there is any place in tho world where a one-horse politician can flourish, it is Rome. Besides having fifty or sixty Democratic candi dates for the Legislature, she is now blessed J with a man named Stewart, who writes, on an ■ average, sixteen letters a day to the papers about his defeat. Isn’t there some old law, or some thing, against this kind of nuisance? John McOonagby, proprietor of a wholesale liquor establishment on Bay street, Savannah, was found dead in his store last Sunday. We find the following in the Savannah News of Monday: Last Saturday Captain Daniel E. Knowles, the representative to the Legislature from Pierce county, and Mr. Thomas Sweat, who was released from custody about six weeks ago on bail, were arrested in Blackshear and brought to this city, Captain Knowles arriving on Satur day by a freight train, and Mr. Sweat yesterday morning by the passenger train. Captain Knowles is charged with complicity in the gold counterfeiting which occurred in Florida and South Georgia a short time ago, and for which, it will be remembered, three of the principals were sent to Dry Tortugas to await their trial. The nature and extent of the alleged complicity has not yet transpired. The other party, Mr. Thomas Sweat, was arrested for conduct which, it is supposed, has been re garded as a forfeiture of the bond or such a vio lation of law as to lay himself again liable. It appears that he bought n stock of oattle from an old gentleman named Johns, in South west Georgia, for which he paid him five hun dred dollars in what was represented as gold. After tbe events referred to in regard to the principals, the old man brought tho bogus gold back to Sweat, and he received it from him. He (Sweat) then took It to a man named Mc Donald, from whom he had received it, and gave it to him, getting his own money ia return. For this he has been rearrested and brought to this city. The prisoners will have an examin ation this morning at 9 o’clock, before United States Commissioner A. W. Stone. McDonald is ono of the firm of Cason & McDonald, of Lake City, Fla., both of whom are accused of being largely interested in the .counterfeiting, and have disappeared sinoe the discovery and arrest of the other parties. It was raining heavily, with occasional hail, at Griffin, when the Middle Georgian, of yes terday, went to pres3 Gainesville soothes itself this piping weather with the scientific game of checkers, The Atlanta Constitution is always wanting to know something. Now it wants to know why the Comptroller General’s report for the year 1870 has not yet been published. | Rev. H. F. Buchanan, pastor of the Third Baptist Church, Atlanta, has resigned. We clip these items from the Atlanta Consti tution, of yesterday: Emort College.—The following speakers have been selected by the Sophomore Class in Emory College to declaim on the 13th of July: H. F. Barnett, J. L. Fielder, J. W. Harris, W. M. Jackson, George Martin, H. M. Mathews, F. H. Richardson, William Slaton, O. L. Smith, E. M. Whiting. We predict for tho boys great success. The Southebn Paoitio Railroad.—Tho Southern Pacific Railroad made application last week to Prof; Gharbonnier, of the University at Athens, for the two best students in tho Civil Engineering Department to survey that road. Prof. Gharbonnier gave the appointment to J. L. Saunders, of Fort Gaines, Ga., and Joel Hurt, of Hurtville, Ala., who left on the 17ih to enter upon their duties. Db. Habbison Westmobeland.—Argument in favor of tho motion for a new trial in the case in Fulton Superior Court of Dr. Harrison West moreland, convicted of assault with intent to murder Dr. O. L. Redwine, was concluded yes terday, and the Judge reserves his decision un til Wednesdaymoming. Manson8trond, bailiff, charged with allowing the jury in this case to separate and famishing them with whisky, will know what Judge Hopkins thinks about it on Wednesday morning. An Atlanta Sun attache strayed np to For syth county a day or two since, and reports on crops ns follows: A run of a few days in Forsyth county has en abled us to see something of tho crop prospects in that section. The wheat i3 all harvested tmd does not amount to half a crop. The fly and rust sent it to pot prematurely. Oats arc doing well and a full crop will bo made. Com is growing finely, though it is sadly in the grass. Rains have been almost incessant, bnt the farm ers are putting in lively licks between the show ers. Bottom lands are almost drowned out. Cotton is backward and spindling—owing to too much wet. The blackberry crop promises to be abundant. Mr. Thomas Stewart, one of the first settlers of Monroe county, died on Taesday of last week. Tho Monroe Advertiser reports Monroe coun ty grain crops better than for several years past. The aoreage in com is twice as great as at any time since the war, and the crop is as good as can he. The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, prints the farewell of Hon. Cincinnatufl Peeples as its po litical editor. We extract as follows from it to show what a complete summersault the Son has turned to get on its present line: The political situation does not, in my de liberate judgment, require that I should retreat from the strong conservative tone whioh I have attempted to impart to the oharaoter of the paper sinoe my oonneotlon with it. The line indicated by me as political editor, is still, in my judgment, the right one. The great inter ests of the oonntry require that the Democracy North and South should be a unit in the coming Presidential election. In a word, I think that the rule of the Democracy ought to be secured if possible, if it can be done without a suicidal abandonment of practical issues. While I do not, in all things, approve tbe new departure, inf heretofore Keen discovered is that geologist not, in all things, approve me new departure, scouted without reflection, Looking at the nervous and fitful condition of affairs North and South, each standing In front of the other, with passions not yet buried, and with jealousies kept alive for the purpose of securing and holding power, at the expense of the people and popular right, it is the obvi ous dictate of prudence and common sense that our people should give no occasion for com plaint. The Southern people desire peaoe, but not the repose of despotism; and henoe I con clude that the fangs of persecution should rot be sharpened by our indiscretions. Extreme opinions ought not to govern ns in the approach ing conflict. An old negro man named Abram Holland, was fonnd dead on Broad street, Columbus, Sunday morning. Disease of the lungs. Jerry Reid, a well known and popular negro employee of the Southern Express Company, at Columbus, died last Sunday night. There is a lodge of negro Masons at Colum bus working under a oharter from tbe Grand Lodge of Canada. The requisites for admission require the applicant to be “free bom, of law ful age, and having vooehers as to perfected ness.” Eatonton is “hooraying” over a watermelon growing from the sideof a locust tree. - Miiledgeville mourns and will not be comfort ed, because the only billiard room in the town has closed for want of patronage. But, dear friends, there are knucks,jind checkers, and mumble peg, and quoits. Will not these suf fice? A religious revival is going on at the Meth odist church at Miiledgeville. Several joined the church last Sunday. The Miiledgeville Recorder tells a strange story of a freedmari who ha3 six acres of cotton “two feet high, filled with blooms and entirely free from grass.” Tho office of sexton of Ihe'Meihodiat church at Milledgevillo is no sinecure. Besides his singular duties, he is expected to tackle, single- handed, benzined individuals who come in to disturb the congregation. We dip the following items from the Record er, of Taesday: “Batt.bqads too Much.”—The mania for the construction of railroads is playing havoc with the equanimity of a certain planter, who lives between Miiledgeville and Macon, in the trian gle between the Central and Macon and Augusta Roads. His residence is about five miles from the Central main trunk, half a dozen from the Miiledgeville' branch, and two from the Augusta line; moreover, he lives in expectation of see ing the Savannah, and Atlantaroad pass directly through his house. He says that he must either cease farming, or leavo this country for the West, as in ten years he thinks there will not be twenty square yards of arable land in Middle Georgia that is not cat by a railroad track. His opinion is, that the people had better let rail roads alone and attend to tho time-honored avo cation of tilling the soil in peace; or at least if they will not, they ought to allow an honest man to liTe in quiet and attend to his own affairs. The work on the new buildings at the Asylum has commenced. Tho foundations are being laid, and thousands of brick are being hauled daily. A large fountain in front of the main building, will add much to the beauty of the surroundings. Everything will be greatly im proved after the present enlargement, and steps are being taken to make it one of the most ele gant asylums in the South. The Federal Union reports a week of sunny weather in that seotion. Weeds and grass have suffered, and oom and cotton are pushing ahead. Small grain crops promise a tolerable yield. The snake crop about Augusta and vioinity is reported to be the best known for years—most ly of the rattle variety. Six were killed last Sunday on one place near the city. One hundred and fifty crates of peachesgrown in South Caroline,-near Auguste, were snipped from that city on Monday. Augusta’s prospects for getting out of debt are brightening. The dog tax, so far, has put §702.30 into the city treasury. The Augusta Constitutionalist is of opinion that “the progressive Democracy of Georgia form the rising party, and that they will control the politics of the State.” The Savannah Republican indignantly rejects the Tribune’s Atlanta correspondent’s predic tion, that the old Whigs of Georgia will ulti mately join the Radical party. It says: We tell the Tribune there can be no greater delusion. One or two restless spirits or disap pointed aspirants may give encouragement to such a thought, but it has no root or counten ance among the great body of the old Whigs. This country never produced a class of men who were more sincerely attached to the principles of liberty, to whom they would yield in their devotion to honor, truth and patriotism, or whose detestation of fraud, usurpation and wrong was more deep-seated and ulconqnera- ble. They share tothe fallest extent,with their fellow-countrymen of the South, in toir abhor rence of a faction that has desolated tleir coun try, sought to degrade and humiliate \ts brave inhabitants, disfranchised its best peop’e, crea ted a government of slaves over their former masters, and has sought in every way, rot only to plunder and beggar them, but to wp>e out every vestige of republican liberty amonj them, and finally, with sacrilegious hands to tear down the government itself and erect a military des potism in its stead. Such a party is at var with every sentiment, opinion and emotion of the old Whigs of the South, and their very natures must be reversed before they can forget to scorn or learn to forgive it. The past is so full of op pression, indignity, humiliation and wrong, that there oan be no repentance, Wien the old Whigs get ready to offer np themselves and their country on tho altar of Mammon, then may the Radicals begin tolookforrecriits from their ranks: The Savannah Republican, of Taesday, is surprised at the “very remarkable poslion the city of Macon has taken against the lease of the Macon and Western to the Central Rpad, her opposition going so far as to unite in asuit be fore the courts in order to defeat it. What does this mean ? For the life of us, we canjot com prehend the policy of such a course. , It even looks suicidal, for the lease placed Mason per manently on the great railroad thomnghfare between the East and West. Suppose she should succeed in defeating the lesse, what then? The inevitable consequence of her tri umph in the injunction will be tbe building of the Atlanta and Savannah Road, and where will Macon bo then? What becomes cf the interests of those Macon and Western stockholders who are so strenuous in their efforts to defeat the lease ? We say we cannot understand the wis dom of this movement, and it is bard to believe that those who are engaged in it have carefully weighed tho consequence of success to them selves. We do not speak of these things in a menac ing spirit. We represent nobody bnt ourselves, and deal only with facts and with a desire that all who are interested will allow them a legiti mate influence over their feelings and actions, ” Thomas Sweat, charged with passing coun terfeit gold coin, was held to bail on Monday, at Savannah, to answer at the August term of the United States District Coart, to be held in that city. Not content with a fair, Savannah is going to do her level best on a cotton factory, which will commence work in about six weeks.

The government is anxious to re move all traces of the recent disasters, and to restore the capital to something like her former gayety and splendor. The empire of the Com mune has been put down by cannon and mitrail leuses, bnt its spirit still lives, and there are thousands of workingmon in Paris now eager to avenge their brethren fallen for the sooialis- tic Republic. Defeathas intensified their hatred. The conduct of the Versailles troops towards the insurgent prisoners-has gone fartoxender a reconciliation betwen those two paxtiet impos sible. One instance may suffice for many. Pour prisoners being esoorted to Versailles were per fectly exhausted and sat down on a bench. “Arise,” Commanded the officer, “if yon dc not want to be shot.” “Kill U3 rather,” said the poor wretches, more dead than alive. “I hold you to your word,” continued -the officer, “aid consider all those who will not rise immediately as sharing your wish.” Nobody rose. Quickly there was a firing party at hand and tour corpse* covered the ground. Admiral Pothuan is pre paring New Caledonia for the Communists who are to be transported. Their number wall probably reach sixty thousand. There will hard ly be a serious effort made to turn them into colonists; but with that peculiar foresight so characteristic of the various French govern ments, they will be left to die, this being,the simplest way of getting rid of political enemies as Napoleon III. would send importunate talkers to Cayenne to die there inch by inch..

Additional honors have been bestowed upon the two leading men whose genius has wrought so marvellous results. Von Moltke has been appointed Imperial Field Marshal, while a valu able estate is to be bestowed upon Prince Bis marck. To conynemorate the establishment of the German Empire, linden-trees have Been planted in many parts of the country, as a per petual monumentf or coming generations. The famous Augsburg Gazette warns the German Liberals not to intermeddle in the affairs of their neighbors in whose behalf it would enter a timely protest. “"We refer,” the paper says, “to Austria and the Baltic provinces of Prussia —without reckoning. Luxemburg, towards which Germany must maintain a friendly re serve. If the inhabitants desire to re-enter the German Empire—and some parties, the cleric als, especially, appear to favor the idea—it will be incumbent on them to take the initiatory steps. Germany most neither invite nor press them.' In Vienna, fears are entertained that the ever-recurring constitntional crises may some day terminate in the disintegration of Austria; and many, instead of attempting to arrest the centrifugal tendencies of the popula tions, have come to regard the Fatherland as the surest harbor of refuge. Let us give no aid or countenance to these pessimists. Germany has too much interest in the maintenance of Austria to contribute in ai$y way to her decom position. The monarchy of the Hapsbnrgers, by its traditions, its habits and the Magyar ele ments it contains, has the mission to interpose and preolude a .collision between the German and the Sclavs peoples. The German inhabitants of the Russian Baltio provinces have. often' complained that their rights aro violated. The grievances they allege are by no means always imaginary, but Germa ny has no more right to intermeddle in the in ternal affairs of Russia than in those of the United States. The Russian Baltio provinces contain 131,000 Germans and 2,437,050 Esto nians, Lithuanians, Poles, Swedes, Russians, etc., etc. But, at bottom, these grumblers are firmly attached to Russia, and in case of war we should find the Germans of the Baltio provinces arrayed against us.” The Berlin Exchange Gazette says the inten tion is entertained in Berlin, of making large purchases of foreign wools, particularly from Australia, the Cape and Buenos Ayres, for the purpose of selling them at regular auctions, ac cording to the system pursued at Loudon and Antwerp. An interesting discovery has been made near Holler in the Grand Dnohy of Luxemburg. A workman, when digging a well, found 372 Ro man coins, besides several turns, only a few feet below the surface otthe soil. The coins belong to the reigns of Vespasian, Domitian, Hem, Antoninas, Diocletian, Diva, Faustina, eta. The Italians have not quite forgotten that Thiers once proclaimed the principle that, to render France great and prosperous, all neigh boring States most be divided and powerless. After Sella, the Minister of Finanoe, had laid his new financial projects before the Italian Chamber of Deputies, Ferine introduced the subject by a review of the political situation. Calling the attention of the Assembly to the former opinions of the present Chief of the French Government, he demanded that the ar maments should be made which were necessary to oppose the enemies of Italian unity. Sella replied, it was inopportune to allude to Thiers’ former views about Italy at a time when**"’ and Dan Carlos, the pretender, is said to be in Bayonne. Numerous arrests have been made in the northern provinces in consequence of the denunciations by the French police. There is also great uneasiness prevailing in Catalonia and Andalusia, the strongholds of Spanish Re publicanism, and it is feared that a simultaneous rising of the Carlistic and Republican parties will take plaoe. In the Cortes the committee charged with examining the elections, have pres posed to declare that of Boqnie Barela valid. This deputy, who is accused of being compro mised in the assassination of Prim, was arrested shortly befoxo the elections took place. Hi* preliminary examination seems to be at a stand still, just as well as that of five ether suspicions persons who have already been confined for five months. Spanish criminal procedure is still much behind, all examinations being secret. -• Jaeno. [From the Chronicle and Sentinel. To tlie Alumni of the University or Georgia—No. 1. Brothers of the Alumni : I have been indaoed by an appeal to yon through a committee appointed at our last an nual meeting, to throw together a few random thoughts which perhaps may not have suggested themselves to you. I was myself much touch ed by the spirit of that appeal, and I earnestly hope that it may find emotions vibrating in cor respondence to it in the heart of every Alumnus in the land. I have by me a roll of our mem. berahip, twelve hundred (1200) graduates l The record shows the deaths, only down to 1857; but with the widest margin allowed for mortali ty, certainly eight: hundred (800) or nine hun dred (900) of us still survive. Now I desire before God, whose goodness gave us the opportunities we have enjoyed, to ask these nine hundred men—have you done your duty to your Alma Mater ? And do not deem me a visionary dreamer in putting tho question. I am very well aware that we cannot all of ns bo members of the Legislature, and, therefore, cannot all of ns vote for zneasnres fraught with good to the College. This is bnt one of many ways in which yon can work for our Old Mother. Think of them: 1. You can all use your personal, individual influence to create a more general interest among the people at large in favor of the Col lege ; and there are many modes of doing this, too; for example (a), you can correct the fool ish, unfounded, and, still, continually recurring charge that the University is not a religions in stitution. Yon can say that the University can not, from the nature of things, be a denomina tional college, but if every other characteristic of an institution conducted upon the strictest models of Christian morality are not to be found there, they cannot be found anywhere. The «ypxv.Que_of them, without ex ception, aotive members of thentafir great re- statesmen,” he continued, “kne- accomplished facts. Twi' rhe^Dhbli^ 68 ”^dings in Rome are almost readr to the ' 1 tiffin bffldate toward the end >eune, when the transfer of the scat of jSvemment will take place. Ten thousand mechanics had been ordered from upper Italy to hasten the work. The jubilee of the Pope has been celebrated with great pomp, over the whole globe, by the members of the Catholic Churoh. A report having been lately circulated that in consequents of the projected removal of the Italian capital to Rome, some governments intended to acoredit the same diplomatists to the Pope and Victor Emanuel, Antonelli, the Roman Secretary of State, has forwarded a dispatoh to the Papal Nuncios requesting them to inform the respec tive governments that His Holiness will neither receive nor enter into any official connection with the representative of a foreign State, who ig at the same time accredited to Victor Emanuel. The news from Spain is discouraging. There are many carlists assembling in the Pyrenees, ligious denominations, and there are always in attendance many students educating themselves for the ministry. But (b) you can exert your personal influence to direct patronage toward the College. Very few men are in positions so loyly that they cannot affect one man. If each of ns sent one student to Athens next year, the College would float clear of all shoals. And again (c), yon can indirectly influence publio opinion by advocating anywhere, and every where, a more liberal spirit in the education of onr youth. Show the vast advantages of a col lege education to those recipients of it who do not abuse those advant§ge3, and disprove the assertion that a college is a nest of idleness and extravagance, by aitribnting such results to the bad training of the boy at home, and not neces sarily to temptations met abroad. As well say that religion is a humbug because there are un worthy members of tho church, as to declare a college to be a school of evil beoause certain bad young men are found within its walls. 2. Some of you have very extraordinary op portunities of befriending your Alma Mater. You aro wealthy, have - far more than will sup ply your wants a thousand times multiplied. What a noble appropriation would yon make of the superfluous riches the Almighty has given you, by endowing a professorship in the State University! We hear continually of this being done for the Sectarian Colleges. There are Nott Professors and Hitchcock Professors and innumerable other chairs founded by the men whose names they bear. I have yet to Ieam of a solitary foundation made for any State Insti tution, save the magnificent donation of Dr. Terrell, constituting the Terrell Professorship of Agriculture, at Athens. And yet what nobler monument could a man erect to his memory than this? But suppose yon are very far from being able to endow a Chair; then perhaps yon are a Minister of the Gospel, a lawyer or a phy sician ; in either of these three capacities yon are liable to be called to the bedside of the sick and dying wealthy, and unlimited opportunities are afforded you of inducing such men to “Dying, leave behind them, ' Foot-prints on the sands of time.” 3. Some, nay, many, very many of you are in political life. You, my brothers, have larger opportunities than any of ns of striking a blow for onr nourishing mother. In what a pitifully, niggardly attitude does this great and wealthy State stand with reference to its only institution of learning. Eight thousand dollars a year, paid simply because it is a righteous debt, which would be collectable from an individual by oourse of law, is the State of Georgia’s provision for the liberal education of her people. Contrast with this the following magnificent endowment of the University of Mississippi. “At the session of the Legislature just closed, on the recommendation of His Excellency, tbe Governor of the State, the following liberal ap propriations and additional arrangements for the promotion of theoause of education, in con nection with the University, were made, to go into immediate effect: “1. .The sum of fifty thousand dollars per an num, for ten years, was appropriated to support the University and to enlarge its sphere of ope rations and increase Us faculties. “2. Two-fifths of the proceeds of the fond donated l>y Congress to the State for tbe pur pose of establishing a College of Agriculture and the Mechanio Arts, were appropriated by the Legislature, to be used in founding and equip- ing each college in connection with the Uni versity. , “3. Provision was also made by law that one hundred dollars should be appropriated out of the Common School Fund, towards the payment of the expenses, at the University, of one stu dent from each county, this appropriation to*** termed a scholarship, and to be giver most meritorious student, after a -'•aperitive examination.” . ...

D( r jJak too much in soliciting the press of the evtte to aid me in reaching the Alumui, by copying these rough note it An Alumnus of 1832. IN 1848 Mr. Junius Smith, of South Carolina, commenced the cultivation of tea in this coun try, and since that time it has been cultivated with moderate suocess in various parts of the South. A correspondent of the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal says that his brother has raised plants and oared tea whioh oannot be excelled in flavor by the imported article. Teh sugar interest of Louisiana, which was almost annihilated during the war, is again ris ing to prominence. In 1861 the yield was 449,- 410 hogsheads; in 1864 It was but 6,568 hogs heads, and from that time it gradually roee until in 1869 it was 87,000. This year’s crop is ex- peeted to be about 140,000 hogsheads, which is more than a fair average yield. In a certain cemetery in a town in New Lon don county, Oonn., can be fonnd a lot contain ing fire graves, one inthe centre, the others near by at tbe four points of the compass. The inscriptions on the latter read respectively, after the name of deceased, “My I. Wife,” My IL Wife,” “My III.

Tbe Ynllamltgham Tragedy—How the Fatal Shot evtmeto be Fired. Mr. Vallandigham had been engaged for ten days in preparing for the defence of one Ma- Gehen, charged with the murder of Meyers, at Hamilton, Ohio, some weeks ago. He had gone to Lebanon to attend the trial, and his wife had been summoned to attend the funeral at Cumberland in Maryland—the Hon. John V. L. MacMahon, a distinguished lawyer of that State.* - ... A Lebanon correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer furnishes that paper with the follow ing details of the terrible accident which result ed In his death: After taking supper, he procured from the landlord of the hotel a bit of white muslin cloth, perhaps a foot square, for the purpose of test ing to bis own satisfaction the question as to whether a shot fired from a pistol in olose proximity to it would or would not leave a mark of powder upon it Having provided himself with this, and put his pistol in Ins pocket, he and Mr. Miliken and Mr. Hume went out together to the sonth edge of town, beyond the residence of Governor Mo- Barney. Arriving there, they were joined by Mr. McBarney, and the trio become a quartette. THE PISTOL which he took with him for this purpose is a new revolver which he had purchased only a few days before coming to Lebanon. It is one of Smith & Wesson’s manufacture, with a four inch barrel, and five chambers, and carries a ball of 32-100 of an inch caliber. HOW THE ACCIDENT CAMS ABOUT. -Two shots itom firoi .into the cloth, and all were satisfied with the result of tBe experiment, and started back to the hotel. Mr. Milliken, ever oautions and thoughtful, said: “VaL, there are three shots in your pistol yet. Yon had better discharge them.” “What for?” responded Mr. Vallandigham. “To prevent any accident,” replied the cau tions attorney. “You might shoot yourself.” “No danger of that,” replied Mr. Yallandig- hara, “I have carried and practiced with pistols too long to be afraid to have a loaded one in my pocket.” “You had better bo careful, though,” said Hr. Miliken. “Never fear me,” was the reply. They then slowly walked back toward the town, and, before they had reached tho hotel, separated. Arriving at tbe Lebanon House alone, Mr. Vallandigham was stopped on his way trn stairs by the landlord, and a package that had been left for him in his absence placed in Ms hands. That parcel contained another revolver—a weap on that had been exhibited at the trial in court, and was not only unloaded, but had had the chambers removed. Proceeding to his room, he unwrapped the parcel, and at the same time taking his own weapon from Ms pockety laid the two murderous instruments on the table, side by side. s A moment later, Mr. Scott Symmes, a young lawyer who has been connected with the prose cution of the case, passed tho door. “Symmes,” said he, “Follett is mistaken. A man conld easily Bhoot himself as Myers was shot. Come in and I will show how it is done." Thus invited, Symmes entered the room, but a moment later, seing JndgeFope coming np stairs, excused himself on the ground that he was going to Hamilton in the morning, and wished to see the Judge before he left. He passed out, and a minute or so afterward Mr. McBarney came into the zoom. Mr. Vallandlg- ham, still standing by the table on wMch the pistols lay, said: “I’ll show you how Tom Myers shot himself. Follett’smistaken when he saysit can’t bedone.” Saying this, he took up one of the murderous instruments in his hands, pat it into Ms pant- loons pocket, and slowly drawing it ont again, cocking it as he drew it forth, he attempted to _. place it in the exact position wMch he believed Myer’s weapon to have assumed at the mo ment the fatal bullet was sped on its mission of death. The muzzle of the weapon still witMn the lappel.of the pock6t, he brought it to an angle of about forty-five degrees. “There, that’s the way Myers held it, only he was getting np, not standing erect.” Saying this, he touched the trigger. . A sudden flash—the half-suppressed sound of a shot—and Clement L. Vallandigham. with an expression of agony, exclaimed: “My God, I’vfl shot myself,” and reeled toward the wall, fe wounded and dying man—wounded and dying by Ms own hand, ) A Model Appointment.— 1 Th® Bev. David Strang, an American Missionary in Egypt, writes the Independent a dolorous tale about tho pranks of George Butler, nephew to Ms uncle, Benjamin F., and American Consul in Alexan dria. Young Butler started ou£ with a solemn determination to sustain the reputation of the family and uphold the paxty m one of “high old moral.ideas.” The Springfield Republican says: 'JF “Georpe” flaa had the reputation for years of breath 010,6 °* the commandments, and teener, and mote rougMy, than any man of his age in America! Neither marriage nor the Egyptian climate seem to have qualified Ms pas sions or their indulgence. The first thing he did was to sell otit his under appointments for good round sums; the next to make an excur- aion into the oonntry towns, and at each stop ping plaoe call ont aoompany of naked Egyptian dancing gills, and “make a night of it" in rev elry in their society; while at court he has un dertaken to prosecute a claim against the gov ernment, as monstrous in falseness as in amount. Light is thrown on the latter transaction by his boast when going for tbe appointment, that he was “bound to have a plaoe with a rake in it worth $30,000 « year." How to Lose Money.—The Monroe Adverti ser says Colonel Bamet proved to the satisfac tion of the Colnmbua people the other day, that the South lost, last year, forty millions of dol lars by raising four million bales of cotton, when if she Lad raised two and a half million bales, she would have cleared one hundred mill ion of dollars. We have shown that already the rise in price from 14 to 21 oents in New York on low mid dling, consequent upon the suspicion that tho next crop will be only a little over three millions, represents on the whole 4,200,000 bales, a value of about $80,000,000, The old Quaker lady, in her speech in meeting, said she had three marvels—andoneofthemwiswhytheyoungmen should run after the girls, when if they would only stay away the girls would nm after them. But a still greater marvel ia vby the planters should be so eageq . to multiply cotton tales when the fewer they are, the more money comes to hand. v la* • b r% ?£s£*.W' •• -v fr,-Alii'-'■ Trf. lifter --
