Yellow Fever In Charleston.
Wilmington, August 26.—A telegram re
ceived from the Mayor of Charleston this morn
ing, says the yellow fever is in Charleston and
'the Board of Health think it has assumed an
epidemic form. Through trains have been dis
continued between Wilmington and Charleston.
Passengers are now changing cars at Florenoe.
Sleeping cars will not be allowed to nm at all
between the two cities. The authorities and
citizens here are bending all their energies to
wards improving the sanitary condition of the
city as a measure of prevention.
Charleston, August 2G.—The Medical Socie
ty of Charleston, in view of the exaggerated
reports abroad as to the presence of yellow fe
ver here, held a meeting last evening, and, after
fall investigation and discussion, resolved to
make official publication of the real facts of the
case as follows:
That yellow fever, of a mild type, does exist
to a limited extent in Charleston—that it is
mainly confined to one neighborhood—that the
first case dated from July 27th, and, during the
month that has elapsed since then, there have
been, perhaps in all np to this time, thirty-five
cases, "of which five have proved fatal; bnt that
the disease does sot seem to spread rapidly or
widely. It is added that a difference of opin
ion exists in the profession as to tbe probable
Bpread of the disease. The Beard of Health
announces, this morning, that the number of
cases reported since the 23d inst., indicate that
the disease is assuming an epidemio form.
Washington, August 2G.—Tho St Augustine
dispatch announcing the loss of the Ladonia is
signed “Editor Press.” There is a weekly pa
per in St Augustine called the Press, John F.
Whitney, editor and publisher. There is no
confirmation of the loss through authentic chan
nels. We are still hopeful that the story is a
hoax at half-past 12 to-day.
London, O., August 26.—Mrs. Colburn, late
Mrs. Baffenbarger, has been honorably acquit
ted of the accusation of poisoning her late hus
band.

civil guard concentrated. The Archbishop of
Madrid directs the clergy to-refuse the sacra
ment to nil persons married by civil rite. All

with the leaders.
Goldsboro, N. O., August 2G.—Very gloomy
but reliable reports reach the Carolina Messen
ger newspaper from nearly all of the connties
in eastern North Carolina, of great damage to
the cetton crop from the rust. Much alarm pre
vails among the planters. The prespecst, so
good a few weeks ago, are now very unfavorable,
especially in tho cotton counties of Wayne,
Dauphin, Lenoir, Green, Johnston, Wilson and
Pitt. In these counties the drouth and rust
will necessarily cut the crop short fully one-
third from last year’s receipts. Similar ac
counts are given by gentlemen who have re
cently passed through more of the western
counties.
Fortress Monroe, August 26.—The sehoono*
Marion is ashore at Body's Island. The E. F.
Dunbar was abandoned at sea. By the arrival
of the steamer Resolute, from Body’s Island,
we have the following particulars from the
schooner Marion:
She reports the weather too rough to get the
schooner off. It was too heavy to boat the
caigo to the steamer. It had to be landed on
the beach. Tho Resolute landed about thirty
tons of cotton and ties, and pnmped her ont
yesterday, bnt sho filled again owing to the
rough weather. The Resolute left the steamer
B. & J. Barker with her, and returned for an
other steam pump. Sho goes back to-night, and,
if the weather favors, will save both vessel and
cargo. The Marion was from Liverpool for
Boston, with a valuable cargo Of machinery, cot
ton ties, crockery, etc.
New York, August 2G.—It is reported that a

Washington, August- 2G.—Lieut. Charles A.
Sehetkey, who was on the steamship City of
Houston, makes the following report to Secreta
ry Robeson;
Febnandina, Fla., August 21,1871.
Leaving-New York on tho 12th, in obedience
to orders, we proceeded towards Key West.
Had good weather until the evening of the 15tb,
when atmospheric changes betokened a hurri
cane. At 4 o’clock p. m. on the lGtb, being 12
miles east of Cape Oamaval, we encountered
breakers of a reef off of that point Here the
commander of the vessel, Daniel Partridge, be
trayed incapacity, running the vessel in danger
ous proximity to the reef. I judged that the
vessel was within the limits of the cyclone, on its
western side—the vortex being about east, and
advancing.
The ship was run north and northeast for
two hours. At 8 p. m. Sehetkey was called by
the first offioer to the pilot honse for consulta
tion, who found the captain unfit to command,
Sehetkey says from liquor or narcotics. He
placed Lieut. Commander J. Schooler in com
mand of the ship. Schonler was invested as
first officer in command. By this time the ves
sel was in the hurricane. All efforts were di
rected to her preservation. The sails were split,
and nothing was left to save the vessel except to
back her, which was done at the suggestion of
the first officer. After backing fifteen min-
utes the port tiller chain broke. All attempts
to secure the rudder failed. Heavy seas came
oyer aft, and the cabin was flooded. The cap
tain had turned in, and the crew proper of the
steamer except first and second officers and as
sistant engineer, became frightened and wonld
do nothing. The firemen deserted the fire
room- and, securing life-preservers, awaited
their fate on the hurricane deck.
The'ship’s officers having given her tip, the
naval officers on board under oommand of
Schooler, set the men under their charge lo
work bailing ont the ship. There was three
feet of water in the fire rocm. Extinguishing
the fires the water was reduced. Fires were
renewed under the donkey boiler by which the
water was pumped out of the ship. From
5 a. xt. to 4 p. m., on the 17th, the vessel was
without motive power—the gale increasing un
til 7 a. xt . The bulk heads of the engine-room
and cabin were used to start the fires. The
foremast was ont away to preserve the vesseL
Fire was started under one boiler, the other
having broken adrift. The steam pipe was now
cracked and the ship was helpless until the 19tb,
when one boiler was shoved up and the steam
pipe temporarily repaired, and the ship brought
to Femandina.
Boston, August 2G.—John Adams Bates, one
of the oldest paymasters of the United States
Navy, is dead.
New York, Angnst 26.—A dispatch from
Charleston, alluding to the progress of yellow
fever, says the declaration of the Medical So
ciety is considered by leading physicians, inclu
ding the Health Officer, as an extreme state
ment—many of the cases upon which it was
based being donbtfnl. The Health Officer does
not consider the facts of the case justify him in
withholding clear kills of healih from the New
York steamer winch sails to-day.
Paris, August 26.—Faidherbe has resigned
his seat as deputy because M. Bevel’s commit
tee had decided to report in favor of making
the Assembly now sitting a constituent As
sembly.
Athens, August 26.—During a violent storm
which passed over Lamia, a town on the Turk
ish frontier, lightning struck a powder maga
zine, which exploded with terrible effect. The
destruction of property was very great. The
inhabitants were terror-stricken, and fled to the
country.
SARATOGA TABLEAUX.
What Happened When the Gas Went Ont
and What tbe Candles Revealed,
“Law,” the Saratoga correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser, gives a cap
itally comio account of what happened at one
of the hotels there the other night when the gas
went put. He says •
It was ten o’olook. The stage drove Up from
the depot. Almost every lady expected her
husband on the train. Many young ladies ex
pected their sweethearts. Neither the stage,
the driver, nor the horses were visible. From
force of habit the passengers felt their way to
the reception room. I got mixed up with the
crowd. Twenty-five married ladies, seven old
maids, and four young ladies commenced greet
ing the passengers in the darkness. “My dear
William 1 why did yon stay so long ?” exclaimed
a sweet young wife, and she threw her arms
around my neck—onr lips met. I wasn’t going
to be a darned fooL
Far different. .
Now, a dear, sweet, liquid-eyed brunette
threw her arms wildly around me. “O, Eu
gene, why did yon not write oftener?” she
sobbed, and then Bhe sank sweetly on my bos
om. I said, “weep not, Julia,” and then I
kissed her swepUy twenty-two times. It was
delicious. It made me think of my first wife
and my college days at Yale. A ponderous ma
tron now approached—dress decollete, hair a la
pompadour. She took me in her arms and
whispered, “O, Charles, did yon bring my beau
tiful dog—did you ?”
Madame, my name is not Charles, and I hate
dogs. I’dhill every d—d—d—, but she fell
fainting at my feet.
A sweet, golden-haired blonde now took my
hand. She pressed it gently, saying: “Dear
Albert, Iknow it is you, and I am so glad to seo
yon 1 You won’t dance with Lizzie Smith, now,
will yon? Now, do promise me!” I Baid I
wouldn’t. Then she held her cheek close to
mine. It was hot with love’s young hope and
pure, sweet affection. YVe were very happy. 1
None but a wicked man would have brought
sadness to this sweet, pure young heart—full of
confidence, warm with virgin affection and beau
tiful with splendid girlishness.
“Do you still love me, Albert?” she whis
pered.
“ Undoubtedly,” I remarked.
“ How muoh, darling ?”
“ A heap.”
“O, I am too happy!” she murmured, as she
twisted her fingers in my auburn hair and held
me in a sweet embrace.
This sort of thing went on for seventeen min
utes, when C. Leland appeared in the distance
with a tallow candle. I quietly withdrew and
mingled unobserved in the crowd. As the can
dle appeared, twenty-seven young gentlemen
were seen slinking Lands with as many young
ladies in the different comers. I have seldom
seen such an affecting scene. It was a great
display of affection. One married geritleman
was holding the hands of two ladies. The hair
of the ladies wa3 generally crimpless, while the
hair of the young gentlemen did not display a
parting place. I reflected, “how kin such
things be, and overcome us like a summer show
er ?” I consulted with J. Billings. He says
they kan’t. So I resolved to leave the place.
Business Is Business.
It is a long lime since anything better than
this has appeared:
The editor of the Colorado Herald had occa
sion to leave town for two or three days, and he
committed his paper, during his absence, to the
charge of a young man, a novice in journalism,
whom he had just engaged as his assistant. Be
fore leaving, he instructed tho ambitious young
editor not to permit any chance to go unim
proved to force the paper and the very small
size of tho subscription price upon the atten
tion of the. public. “Always keep before your
mind the fact that the object of this paper iB to
extend its circulation,” he said; “and whenever
yon see a chance to insert a puff of the Herald
in any notice yon make, pile it on a3 thick as
yon can. Keep the people stirred up all tho
time, you understand, so that they will believe
the Herald is the greatest sheet in the United
States.” Tho parting tear was shed, and tho
editor left The following night, while ho was
far away from homo, his wife died very sud
denly. Upon the assistant devolved the duty
of annonneing the sad intelligence to the public.
He did it as follows:
“gone, but not forgotten.”
We are compelled, this morning, to perform
a duty which is peonliarly painful to the able
assistant editor, who has been engaged upon
this paper at an enormous expense, in accord
ance with onr determination to make the Herald
a first-class journal. Last night death suddenly
and unexpectedly snatched away from onr do
mestic hearth (the best are advertised under
the bead of stoves and furnaces upon onr first
page), Mrs. Agatha P. Burns, wife of Rufns P.
Burns, the gentlemanly editor of the Herald.
(Terms three dollars a year, invariably in ad
vance. ) A kind mother and an exemplary wife.
(Office over Coleman’s grocery, up two flights
of stairs. Knock bard.) “We shall miss thee,
mother, we shall miss thee.” (Job printing so
licited.) Funeral at half-past four, from the
house, jnst across the street from the Herald
office. Gone to be an angel now. (Advertise
ments inserted for ten cents a square.”)
Well, the editor arrived home that day at
coon. Slowly and sadly he was observed to
arm himself with a double barreled fowling,
piece, into which ho inserted abont two pounds
and a half of bullets. He marched over to the
office, followed by an immense crowd. The as
sistant editor was bosy in painting a big placard
to be tacked on tbe hearse. It bore the legend,
“Bay yonr coffins of Simms, over the Herald
office.” The assistant editor cast his eye around
and peroeived his chief. Care sat upon that
wan cheek, and thnnder clothed bis brow. He
leveled his gun. The assistant did not wait.
With one wild and awful yell ho jumped from
the second story window, and strnck ont for the
golden shores of the Facifio. It is believed he
eventually swam over to China.— Chicago Post.
Chautauqua Lake, New York, has lately been
Infested with a great plague of flies. For some
days they hare gathered around the shores at
Mayville in such quantities as to darken the
landscape. They are very short-lived, and on
one morning two and a half baskets of dead
flies were swept from the front verandah of the
chief hotel of that village. On the opposite aide
of the street, where a fresh coating of green
punt bad been applied, the little pests lay to
the depth of rax inches.
The remittances sent by previous emigrants

Mercer University—Her Building
Enterprise.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger ;
We are pleased to state that the committee
charged with getting up plans and estimates
for the college buildings are earnestly engaged
in their work.
They have sgreed upon (he desiderata of the
enterprise, laid their wants before the great
architect, Samuel Sloan, and others of the best
reputation, and invoked their highest taste to
famish plans, which shall meet the present and
prospective wants of the institution, and afford
an object of just pride to the city of Macon
and the friends of the University. Designs are
being sought, with a view to an expenditure of
from one hundred and fifty to two hundred
thousand dollars.
So soon as the plansand estimates can be pro
cured, they will be laid before the Board of
Trustees for their election; and then the build
ing will be commenced.
In the meantime we beg to suggest to the cit
izens of Macon that the peculiarities of the un
dertaking call for a respectful patience on the
part of the pnblio towards those who are in
charge of the college affairs.
This is no private enterprise, upon which one
man may decide and act withont delay. The
University is the property of the Baptists of
Georgia. It is under the control of more than
a score of trustees, each of whom has his share
of the responsibililg and the right of directing
all its movements. These gentlemen, selected
by the Georgia Baptist Convention for their in
fluence in various sections of the State, are
scattered all over Georgia. They work in this
important pnblic interest, withont remuneration
and at their private expanse. They cannot give
their whole timo to the pnblic. Their families
and various local private interests make con
stant demands upon them. The convenience
of all most bs considered, in fixing times for
meeting and consultation. It is impossible that
a pnblio enterprise so controlled can move off
with the speed of a private undertaking.
Again, we aro engaged in an effort put up
such a group of college buildings as will meet
present exigencies, and also provide for the de
velopments of the future. We would combine
the highest convenience with all attainable ele
gance. The problem is worthy of study and
careful deliberation. Few men, if any, conld
be found capable of deoiding, at once', even
upon the present wants to be met in such an
undertaking. Bat none, without reflection and
investigation, cvul<} wisely determine upon those
exigencies, which lie in ihe probabilities of the
future, and upon the most modern and enlight
ened modes of meeting them. The best arcul-
tectural talent of the country ought to bo and

It would be extremely unfortunate if those
charged with preparation for tho building should
impatiently hurry out upon a badly digested
plan. It would be a lasting monument of their
short sightedness, and an unfailing sonree of
mortification to enlightened friends.
Exoepting from the compliment the humble
author of this article, the character of the gen
tlemen who compose the building committee,
entitles them to every presumption, that they
will first comprehend and then perform, their
duty, with all the speed compatible with discre
tion. Their known good senso and zeal for the
University will ensure success as early as a ripe
success can he obtained.
When the trustees last met iu Macon, on the
4th of July, the litigation abont the amendment
of the charter had not been finally settled. They
could not then proceed to build. By measures
then passed, the settlement has'since been con
summated. Thereby, the amendment granted
by Jndgo Cole, locating this Institution in
Macon, has been fatly and finally affirmed by
tho Supreme Court of the State, and the re
moval to Macon is an accomplished fact. Mer
cer University is not to come to your city, but
is already there, and cannot get away.
These statements show why bnildings have not
yet been begun, and ought to assure you, that
in due time you will seo the fullest development
of Mercer University in yonr midst. Meantime,
we would respectfully suggest, “let patience
have her perfect work.” John T. Clarke,
Chairman Mcrcer^University Building Com

Fort Gaines, Clay county, August 23d.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Having
gymnasticised myself on tho outer part of a
meal, which as to girth, shows on increase of
circnmferenco, I sought for tho Datt.v Tele
graph and Messenger, of tho above date. Tho
columns of this popular paper I scanned with
no little degree of interest. I find, Messrs.
Editors, this paper to bo a li sinc qua non” to
the existence of a great number of citizens in
this southwestern part of the State, and were it
not for the unbounded generosity of those who
are Us recipients, or the "next door” of a great
many, its nomenclature of subscribers would
increase 25 per cont. However, “borrowers”
or “spongershave always lived; bnt often
incommoding tho more liberal.
Tho crops between Macon and this metropo
lis (!) aro quito variable, as a general thing they
are so so, if so good—abont two-third3 a crop
expected. ,
Dawson, Cnthbert and Fort Gaine3, in whica
places I have recently been, are fearfully dull,
more especially, the tirBt and last. It is attribu
table to the groat scarcity of the “essence” of
tho existence of onr worldly men.
Bat, since “brevity is the soul of wit,” I will
be brief in mentioning a point or two where
one can get many of the indispensably essential
pleasures, around which wo so fondly and lin
geringly dwell: First, the Dawson • House,
(Dawson,) kept by Mr. B. F. Collins, who makes
it a specialty to provide numerous “good
things ” for the inner man of his guests. The
Hays House, (Cnthbert,) proprietor of the same
name, does bnt corroborate its former reputa
tion, as a No. 1 Hotel.
To bring this hastily written and desultory
letter to a close, I will respectfully bow and re
tire (owing to my somnolent proclivities) to be
anon wrapt in the inviting arms of somnus, of
course; there to dreamily explore the elysian
fields, in search of absent loved ones. Viola

A Tough Mule Story.
There is a man out in Oregon who has a mule.
A few days ago he was driving the animal across
tho prarie, when it suddenly stopped. The man
left his wagon and attempted to induce that
mule to move on, but without success. He beat
it, he choaked it, he threatened it, and he cursed
it, but it refused'to budge. He tied fire-crack
ers to its tail and exploded them, bnt the mule
merely tamed its head in a languid sort of way,
examined the fire-works, and calmly winked at
the man. Then tho man thought perhaps the
mule had forgotten something ana wanted to
go back, so he tried to tom him around;
but the mole expressed a firm determination
not to go home. The man became desperate,
and thought ho would build a fire under the
mnlo; bnt ns fast as he would kindle it the
mule, standing firm upon three legs, reached
over with its other leg and kicked the flames
out. Then ho tore his hair and swore—the man
did—and horoshed to tho wagon and got twelve
pounds of gunpowder, and he dug a hole under
that mule and built a mine. Then he coverod
up the charge and laid a slow match and stood
off a little piece while he lit it. There was a
ramble, a roar, then a terifio explosion; and
amid the cloud of dust and unheaved rocks,
the mule was observed lo fling Us hind legs in
the air and fo support itself upon its fore feet in
that position until the blast was over, when it
quickly assumed its old attitude, and a gen
tle smile passed over its features as it per
ceived its master lying down, groaning and
carsing the day on which he was bom. It
was of no use. The man went home and
brought two yoke of oxen. He hitohed them
to his mule, and thoy pulled; but the mule dug
its hoofs into the prairie, and there it stood as
firm as Cassabianca on the burning deck. Then
the man, in a furious rage, went and got three
moveable steam engines and ohained them to
the mnle. Three half-inoh cables were snapped
asunder, and tho mnle still maintained the
defiant attitude. It is there yet, and the man
has made a contract with a builder to go ont
there and erect a mill over the mnle, because
be rogards him now as one of the permanent
Axtnres of the plaoe, and he thinks he oan apply
the power for the mill by arranging to have the
mule’s tail twisted right hard every few minutes
with machinery.
The following story iB related by Mr. Jeffer
son concerning the first Oontinental Congress t
“Delegate Harrison, of Virginia, desiring to
'stimulate,' presented himself and friend at a
certain place where supplies were famished
Congress, and ordered two glasses of brandy
and water. The man in charge replied that
liquors were not included in the supplies fur
nished Congressmen. ‘Why,’ said Harrison,
‘what iB it, then, that I see the New England
members come here and drink ?’ ‘Molasses and
water, which they have charged as stationery,’
was the reply. ‘Then give me the brandy and
water,’ quoth Harrison, and charge it as/ueh’ ’’

I have no new remedy to offer but the same old

I havo since been practicing with the same remedy,
and have been successful in a number of cases, a
few of which I refer to below, as living witnesses
of the virtues of my medicine, some of whom,
like myself, have been cured a number of years,
and ye t have no symptoms of Cancer retnrning:
