Telegraph & Messenger. THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 3, 1871. TIio Kii'KInv Committee In Moutli Carolina—Jiortpn’s Trump Card. When the Hub-Kn-klnx Travelling Committee got to Washington on their return from a (rip |o investigate affairs in tho Carolina*, they pub- lihhctl through the Evening Star a terrific report of their discoveries. They found moro than a hundred refugees from Kn-klux terrorism in Columbia. At Spartanburg, the victims camo in by scores showing scarified backs, gun shot wounds, maimed ears and other proofs of vio- leaoe. Murders and violences had so terrified every Republican, white and black, that they slept in the woods concealed for months. At Limestone Springs 118 cases of whipping were proved, and the committee awoke every morning to find tho hotel yard crowded with new witnesses, some of whom had suffered out rages which could not be decently described. In tho South Carolina Spartan were found tho cards of 42 Radicals renouncing tho party, who bad been compelled to print those cards at the stern bidding of the Kn-klux on pain of death At Unionville, there had boon moro killing and less whipping. The terror of tho negroes was comploto, iuuI the committee conld not find a white man who darod to avow himself a Re publican. A prominent Democrat of tho place, Mr. Shard, a lawyer, afartlod tho Committee by testifying that almost every white citizen of the plaoe belonged to tho Kn-klux, and thoro were a thousand within n day’s march. Lewis Thomp son, a negro Methodist preacher, Jnne 11th afterpreaching was whipped, mutilalod, dragged by horses, whipped again, hnng, and his body thrown into the Tigor River. At York, the Committee fonnd a bitter spirit —the community demoralized and the civil au thorities a farce. And here the milk was thrown on ono of the Committee, (Stevenson.) by ono Berry, who had a quarrel with A. T. Wallace, representative of tho connty, by whom Steven son was sitting. Colonel Merrill, commanding in York, reported sixty-eight cases of outrage, some of them most revolting and horrible. It was fonnd impossible for the Committee to ex amino more than n small part of tho crowds of whipped, maimod and torror-stricken wretches who flocked in for a hearing. Such is the sub stance of tho Star's narrative. To ail this, aooording to a telegram in yester day's edition, P. Van Thump, n Democratic member of tho committee from Ohio, responded through the Washington Patriot in an authorized report of the evidence. Van Trump charges that the statement of tho Star is untrue in many essential particulars, and the facts perverted in others, in order to produce a false impression He odds: The testimony shows that there are four counties, viz: Laurens, Chester, York and Spartanburg, whero sets of violence have been committed on both sides. Tho whites and blacks aro nearly equally divided in population, and the carpet-bag rule, by which the negro is forcibly put over the white man, has produced n bad and oven a dangerous state of feeling.— The poor whites are mostly aggrieved by an op pression which is intended to make them the inferiors of tho recent slaves, steeped in igno- ranee and vice. Everything has been done to aggravate the laboring whites, and to outrage the sooial condition of their families. It is in proof that the negroes, disguised as Kn-klux, committed many outrages. Tho testimony given by tho negroes wus of the lowest kind, and ut terly unworthy of belief. Many wero attracted by the per diem of $2 per day. The statement oonoludes os follows: Thoro is no political feeling of any kind in the nnfortunnte disturbances which have occur red in tbeso few counties of Sonth Carolina. They result from maladministration, corruption, robbery oarpet-bagism, nnd especially among tho poor laboring white men from a wicked pnr- poso on the part of the authorities and Legisla ture to assist blaok supremacy and degrade them with negro rule. That is with them, perhaps, the real and most serious difficulty. It is a question of race which, as South Carolina is now administered and sustained by Federal pow er, threatens the gravest consequences. The white mechanic and laborer, when he finds the worst crime protected and pardoned, tho law an engine of persecution, and political powerabnsod in order to oppress him with negro domination and to outrage his wife and children, will re sist, bo the sacrifice what it may. He may bo nneduoatod and plain, bat he is still American, and prond of his race. We notice this report particularly and at length booause it is the trump oard in tho grand Kn-klux pack. The researches of the Commit tee in the G&rolinas constitute the strong point of Grant's programme for re-election on tho strength of Northern horror and indignation over the ontragos of tho “rebel Ku klnx." The partionlar application mado of those alleged disooveries is disclosed in a telegram to the New York Herald, of Inst Sunday, which we will no tion in another article. Editorial Correspondence. Athens, August I, 187 On Sabbath night Rev. Dr. Hicks adJrossed tho Young Men’s Christian Association in the Presbyterian Church, from Ihe passage of Scrip ture known as the “Golden Rale.' A full house greeted him, and the Doctor s discourse was an imated and eloquent. tunnn uiitiso. Tho next day (Monday) at 9 o'clock A M., the Alumni Association oonvened in Chancellor Lipscomb's largo recitation room. A long dis mission ensued upon a motion to admit under graduates who had left the Uoiversity, to mem berabip. The matter was finally laid upon the table after a telling speech from Henry Hall Esq. Pending tho consideration of a resolution offered by Prof. Lewis Jones, to appoint a com mittee to digest and prepare such suggestions os the Association might desire to mako to the Board of Trustees, the hour of 11 a. st. having arrived, a procession was formed, and the soci ety marched in a body to the College Chapel to hear the alumni oration or hon. n. h. hill. A vast andienco filled the spacious building, and a silver cornet band from Savannah dis coursed excellent music. As true chroniclers, we are compelled, however, en passant, to state that the speaker was mnch disturbed by the noise in tho galleries. A retrospect of the evils and past effects of slavery (many present conld not endorse these), and tho development of tho grand resources of cur nobio State, including the proper endow ment of her Universily, formed tho inter esting theme of the orator. His remarks were eminently practical and apposite, and tho con cluding portions roally eloquent and beauti ful. We forbear any sketch, as the entire ad dress will be published. Returning to this place of meeting, tho Alnmni Association resumed the unfinished business of tho morning, and a standing committee, with Chancellor Lipscomb as Chairman, was appoint ed, (to be renewed every year) under the reso lution of Professor Jones. On motion of Hon. David Vason, it was de cided that this Association may from time to timo, as it deems proper, eloct on their own merits to membership, snch undergraduates as had left the college threngh sickness or other good causes. Under this ruling, Hon. William O. Fleming, of Bainbridge, Col. John ScreveD : of Savannah, and several other gentlemen wero elected members of the Association. Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown offered a res olntion, that measures be adopted to memorial ize the next General Assembly to donate to the University for educational and agricultural pm poses, the lands granted by the United States Government. Also, that a combined and earn est effort be mane to procure tho appropriation of $500,000 an an endowment fond for the Insti tution. Ho sat down amid a very storm of ap- planse, and was followed in the same strain by Hon. Iverson HarriB, D. A. Vason, B. XL Hill and others. The resolutions were adopted wfh the greatest enthusiasm, and it was further de-< terminod that a committee of two from each Congressional District be appointed to confer with the members of the State Agricnltural Association at Rome, to seenre their co-opera tion in the premises. Gov. Brown announced that ibid committee wonld bo famished with free passes over the Western and Atlantic Road. On motion it was resolved, that Hon. Robt. Toombs, Hon. B. H. HiU, Gen. John B. Gor don and Gov. Joseph E Brown, be requested to address the members of the Legislature upon the important questions nnder consideration. H. H. Jones offered a resolution which was “Boots,” a ootton speculator, says “many of your readers would be pleased if yon wonld givo them extraots of your ootton crop estimate of this time lost year ns published in your enter- priaing journal. Yonr readers desire to oom- paro statements thou and those to-day pub lished.” Wo do not recollect whether we ever attempted any estimates last year or what they were. Wo make none now, and mado none yes terday—exeept to express the opinion that the crop wonld fall below the anticipations of three and a half to fonr millions bales with which the market wonld be opened on tho part of buyers. If we should givo an “estimate,” it wonld be at least disinterested and not that of a boll or a bear; and we believe wonld be nearer right than his or any other person’s estimates of the lost two crops in the month of Jnly. Bat we have very little pride of opinion on that or any other subject; and if “Boots” and his friends wonld like to ascertain whether we made any estimate of last year's crop, and if so, whether it was wider of tho mark than other people's, we have not tho slightest objection to put our files at his disposal. If we did not make some blunders that year, it will be a gracious oxoeption ; and since tho actual crop exceeded the Agricnltural Department's estimate some syven or eight hundred thousand bales, we Bhall have plenty of company, allowing that we haz arded any judgment on that point. Bat whether we did or not, it rans stroDg'y in our mind jnst now that the growing crop, when it comes for ward, will confound estimators generally in the matter of falling short, somewhat as that of lost year did in tho matter of overrunning. But we shall see. The Year Book well says that three big crops never come in succession. Reorganization or the Savannah Custom house.—Dr. George H. Stone, late Auditor in the Chicago Custom-house, has been appointed Deputy Collector in the Savannah Custom-house, nnder Collector Robb, vice Wellman, the de faulter who was dismissed from that position. Mr. Charloa H. Townsend, of the Customs Di vision in tho office of the Secretary of the Treas ury, has been ordered to assist Collector Robb in reorganizing the force employed at the port, and has also been tendered the position of Aud itor In that Cnstom-honse. Universitt or Nashville —Wa call attention to the advertisement of the University of Nash ville, annonneing the opening of their fall term October 4th. This institution, in its Collegiate and Law departments, has ten professors, and numbered 482 students at its last session. That gallant soldier and accomplished scholar, Gen. E. Kirby Smith, presides over it as Chancellor. Thomas A. Scott is said to be President of two railroad companies, Vice-President of eleven, and Director in thirty-funr. adopted, that the roll of the years of the Uni versity be called, that the members of each class present, might apswer to their names. The clerk accordingly began with the year 1801, and every succeeding year was called. It was a solemn proceeding, and forcibly reminded every ono of the ravages of timo and bis own mortality. The dinner and orator committees were re appointed for the ensuing year. the banquet. At 7 o’clock p. m. the members of tho Asso ciation present, over two hnndred in nnmber, formed in the campus and marched, led by a splendid band of music, to the commodious hall where the feast bad been prepared. It was a long and imposing procession, and tho streets were thronged with spectators. Four parallel tables the length of the hall, groaning nnder the weight of every delicacy of the season, were soon occnpiod by theinooming guests. They were reoeived with an eloquent address of welcome from Mr. Lumpkin, on the part of the commit tee. Hon. W. L. Mitchell, the President of the As sociation, then called upon Dr. Palmer to in voke the divine blessing, after which the festiv ities began. Too much praise cannot be accorded to the committee of arrangements for the sumptuous repast afforded, and the admirable order and system which reigned throughout. The wines, cigars, ices, etc., were unexceptionable and su perabundant. A free invitation had been ex. tended to the members of the press and we were glad to note that it was well represented. Soon the President annonnoed the reading of the regular toasts, which were daly responded to in the order mentioned. They were thirteen in number as follows: regular toasts at the alumni dinner of the universitt of oeoboia. L “To the memory of our deceased Trus tees.” Drank standing and in silenoe. 2. “To tho present Board of Trusteo3. * Honor to whom honor is dne.’ The Board has a great work to do: the complete endowment of the University of Georgia, and her expansion till she takes rank with the first universities of the world, and throws open her halls of tuition free to all her children.” Responded to by Hon. Charles J. Jenkins. 3. “ To the memory of onr deceased Presi dents, Professors and Tutors.'’ Drank standing and in silence. 4. “ To the Chancellor and Professors now in office : ripe scholars, efficient instructors, Chris tian gentlemen. The youth of the country need not look elsewhere for better training.” Re sponded to by Rev. Dr. Lipscomb, Chancellor. 5. “To the memoryof our deceased Alnmni.” Drank standing and in silence. 6. “To the living Alnmni : They owe a duty to their Alma Mater, and they are here to pledge themselves and their absent brothers to dis charge it, and to assure the Board of Trust that they are ready ‘to help, aid and assist in every work, however difficult or dangerous,’ which (he Board nmy plan for the advancement of liberal education, of professional learning, and of schopls of industry combined with mental culture—regarding, as they do, all students of the University as peers, in whatever school en gaged.” Responded to by Hon. W. Hope Hull. 7. “To the Alnmni of the first quarter of the present century: They did what they conld to keep onr Alma Mater amoDg living institutions, and they have exemplified tneir training as her alds of the cross, as physicians, as lawyers and as citizens in the other walks of life, equal to any of their 4 a 7- dome of them still Unger among ns, and manifest their interest by their presence at this festive board. Among them, we welcome Col. Wrn. EL Jackson, the only survivor of the first graduating class of 1804, and Mr. John Phinizy, of Augusta, the sole sur vivor of the class of 1811, and besides them some remain of the first decade of our Alma Mater.” Responded to by Hon. Iverson L. Harris. 8. “To the Alumni of the Second Quarter of the present centnry: They present many his toric names, of whom onr Alma Mater may justly feel proud; but to individualize them might seem invidious. Let ns cherish the mem ories of the dead, and let ns love the living. Wo have a heart for all our Alumni, of whatever party or creed. A mother's full heart goes out to each and to alL” Responded to by Hon. James Jackson. 9. “To the Alumni of the Third Quarter cf the present centnry: They promise to equal, if not surpass, in all respects, their illustrious predecessors.” Responded to by A. O. Bacon, Esq. 10. “The graduates of the Ltw School: May they rise to eminence, bless the country, and aid in preserving its liberties and banding them down to posterity whole and entire.” Responded to by Mr. Washington Dessau. 11. “The graduates of the Engineer School: They are already in demand, all being either on some railroad, or in some professional employ ment testing their training. Two bsve just been called to the Southern Pacific Railroad, and we weloome here tc-night one who has jnst been advance d to the rank of Chief Engineer.” Responded to by Mr. W. W. Thomas, Chief Engineer. 12. “The Reverend Clergy of the Alamni: They do guard with untiring zeal and ceaseless vigilence the paramount interests of the immor tal soul.” Responded to by Rev. B. M. Palmer D. D. 13. “The noble profession of Medicine, of the Alnmni: They labor night and day to restore health and prolong life. May they'ever be ap preciated and daiy rewarded for their toils.” Responded to by Dr. H. V. M. Miller. 14. ‘•The necessary profession of Law, of the Alamni: Tis their business to watch over life, liberty and property. May they be always fonnd truo to duty.” Responded to by Gov. Joseph E. Brown. 15. “The Press: The art preservative of all arts. We hail with joy the fact that a nnmber of onr Alamni are connected ...therewith. May the nnmber of such contimfally increase.” Re sponded to bv CpL-dL H. Jones, of tho Tele graph and Messenger. 1C. “The Fair: Never to be forgotten by good men and tree, God bless them.” Many of the responses were replete with pathos, sentiment and humor. At this late, or rather early hour, it is impossible even to al lude to them, though the archives and traditions of seventy years were exhausted to farnlBh inci dents and data for this interesting occasion. At the conclusion of the regular toasts, many other gentlemen were called out, and entertain ed the hall with witty and eloquent addresses. Among these were Rev. Dr. Tucker; Dr. Hicks, Mr. Hammond and others. In the small hours of tho morning the assem bly broke np, and thus ended the celebrated Alamni gathering and banquet, which, we trust, have inaugurated a new era of prosperity and good feeling for our ancient and honored Alma Mater. Your correspondent desires to make special mention of the courtesies and favors received at the hands of Captain W. Williams, the gen tlemanly Express Agent at this place. J. The Cotton Situation. Watts & Co.’s Weekly Liverpool Circular of July 14th, has the following: The Situation.—We have in several cf our re cent reports called attention to the fact that the recent very rapid reduction in the visible supply was more apparent than real, and last week we gave a table showing that the actual position on the 30th nit., including the stock held by English and Continental spinners, indicated an excess in supplies then as compared with cor responding date last year of abont 000,000 bales. A farther investigation of the snbject satisfies us wo then somewhat underestimated the sup plies held by Continental spinners, and if, in addition, we had taken into account the excess of stocks held in Russian and Spanish ports it wonld have been nearer correct to put the ex cess at about 700,000 bales. This large excess in the actual supply will, of course, have an important bearing upon the course of prices sooner or later, for it is very evident the timo most come when from one cause or other the trade will fall back upon the large stocks which they hold, and we are then almost certain to have a long dull spell and a consequent re action in prices. This is the weak point in the present position of the market. But, on tho other band, if the American crop grown this year should continue to give promise of a decreased yield, as compared with the crop of last year, of about one million of bales, which seems now to be about the popular es timate, this would not only offset the excesses in the present actual supply, but allow some 300,000 bales for decreased productions next year. It should farther be borne in mind the question of actual supplies can only be approx imately arrived at by tho feui who carefully study the statistics of the trade, and conse quently exerts a less direct influence on prices than the visible supply at the principal markets which are more generally observed. Now from onr usnal weekly table given above, it will be seen wo make the present visible supply only 132,720 bales in excess of this date last year, whilst the stock here in Liverpool is now actu ally reduced to within G8,030 bales of the figures of last year at this dato. This last item seems at first glance really astonishing when taken in connection with tho fact that the imports into this port since 1st January last have exceeded the corresponding period of last year by 721, 7S0 bales. In our report of last week we estimated the stock of cotton held by English spinners on the 30th ultimo at 220,000 bales; since then, say two weeks, they have taken from this port and London 158,000 bales, and assuming consump tion at 59,000 bales per week, they would now appear to hold 200,000 bales, against about 59,- 000 at tbis time last year. The stock at the Con tinental ports, excepting Havre, which is given in onr table above, snd ercluding the ports of Spain and Russia, from which we cannot ob tain regular and accurate returns, amounted on the 7ih instant to 182,150 bales, against 67,100 last year nnd 28,150 the year before. Pore Audacity Illustrated. Tho nerald, of Sunday, has a special Wash ington dispatch chronicling the result of the labors of the Ku-klnx Investigating Committee. The grand result of the investigation is set forth os follows: “That in all tho late insurrectionary States, and generally diffused, though not found in every county, is an oathbound secret organize, tion, working only at night and its members al ways in disguise, with officers, signs, signals, passwords, grips, and all the necessary para phernalia, with the pledged and sworn purpose of putting down the Republican and patting np tho Democratic party; that the organization came into being a few months previons to the last Presidential election, during which canvass it was in its most vigorous condition, but is now through all the Sonth, with more efficient discipline and effective direction than ever, re viving in preparation for the next Presidential campaign; that this Ku-ldux organization is the premedi'atedand determined scheme for carrying the South at the next election of President, and so, by securing the entire electoral vote of that section, make sore the election of the Demo cratic nominee; that the officers and establish- ers of these “dens." as they call their separate bands, are the leading and active Democratic politicians of the South ; that tho scheme has tue hearty good will of a large section of the Democratic party in all those States, and the ac quiescence of nearly ihe entire party; that the direct and chief purpose of the organization, as sworn by all the victims, as the assertion uni formly made to them by these midnieht assas sins, and corroborated by the universal testi mony of the repentant and divulging members of the Order, is tbis—the parting down of the Republican and patting np cf ihe Democratic party.” The audacity of this charge boats creation, and shows what bold and adroit tacticians the Radicals are. Having elaborated their scheme to re-elect Grant by a grand anti-Ka-klnx sen sation, they begin by charging that the so-called Kn-klux was a counter-scheme to defeat him. That i3 cool and sagacious, too. The average weight of the cotton bales receiv ed at New Orleans dnring the year ending Jnne 30th, 1S71, amounts to 451 pounds—the 1,297, 557 bales exported weighing 585,490,483pounds, and being worth $83 S82. (Q. The average weight of the cotton bale in the year ending June 30th, 1870,amountedto449pounds-there having been exported from New Orleans 909,959 bales, weighing 435,452,S2G pounds, and valued at $100,085,603. The President has abandoned his trip to the West and California, he having been advised by General Sheridan, General Sherman and many others, that it is now too late in the season for a satisfactory visit through the Western coun ty—the crops having all been gathered and the country being in a bare condition. He has ac cordingly concluded to postpone the trip until the latter part of the spring of 1872. TI1E GEORGIA PRESS. Miscegenation flourishes in Atlanta. The Sun says there are seven couples now under arrest in that city for the practice. The Supreme Court ou Tuesday adjourned, pending the argument in Stokes vs. Johnson & Dancan, No. 23, Southwestern Circuit. Colonel Avery, of tho Constitution, being in delicate health, is rusticating in the North. He writes from Troy, that the New Departure is slow, and it’s no nse of talking about constitu tion or centralization. Morton struck the key note and the Medusa head of the Ku-klux is the agent that gives to Grant a new term of gifts, and to the people of the South another act of reconstruction tragedy. The Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday, ex presses the opinion that Gen. Grant’s chanoes for the nomination diminish every day. We trust that the Constitution will not hazard any thing valuable on that opinion. An Atlanta party of ladies and gentlemen took a moonlight excursion to Stone Mountain last night The National Hotel, Atlanta, was reopened by H. Stubblefield last Monday. Wo trust his new field will not be a stubble-field, but one yielding an abundant harvest The Constitution learns that there is a lady living near Buford, on the Air Line Railroad. 103 years of age, who has never seen a railroad or locomotive. A gentleman living in Alabama, near the Georgia line, ninety-seven years of age, was re cently married to a lady thirty-five years of age. “December and May.” • L O. O. F.—Tho Grand Encampment of Georgia convened in Augusta on Monday. Tho attendance was large and the condition of the Order represented to be prosperous.

Good Advice.—A Perry correspondent of the New Era reports at length the hanging of Jim Toombs (colored) at that place, for the murder of Robert Hunter, colored. Jim’s last speech began as follows: My friends, I know that I am going to be hnng, and I want to tell you what brought me to this. It was carrying a pistol, and I warn you not to carry weapons. Some of this vast crowd have them on now, and I advise yon to throw them away—into the creeks, the rivers, or anywhere. interference with the united STATES MAIL. A Negro Mob Tnlte Possession of tire Steam- craau Antonio.—Insubordination of One of the Crew—-Examination before tbe United States Commissioner, Etc. Captain Lee, of the steamer San Antonio, re ports that he left Savannah last Friday for Jack sonville, that at Brunswick he took a party of colored persons on board, numbering one hun dred and fifty, bonnd to Fernandina; that on their return from that place they commenced disorderly condaot, drawing pistols and razors on Captain Lee, and ordering him to turn back, which he was compelled to do; that the Cap tain then applied to tho United States Revenue Cutter at Fernandina for assistance, which was rendered in the shape of two deputy marshals, who kept the negroes quiet until the steamer arrived at Brunswick. After leaving Brunswick—having landed the whole party and the marshals there—one of the crew of the San Antonio, a colored man named John Doboy, became not only abusive to Captain Lee, bnt also insubordinate, which rendered it necessary for him to be secured, after having been knocked down. There being no irons on board he wes tied. On arriving at Darien, the colored people there, finding that the Captain had ono of their color tied, collected a large mob, beaded by the sheriff of McIntosh county, who refused to allow the steamer to leave the wharf, stating that he would get papers with which to detain her, and stationing a nnmber of negroes at tho gangway and at the lines to prevent her leaving. After his departure Capt. Lee cut the lines and headed his boat for Sa vannah, whore he arrived yesterday morning at 9 o’clock, and delivered Doboy to the United States Marshal. A hearing was had iu the case before Commissioner Wayne, who discharged him becanse he had been first assaulted. Doboy was subsequently arrested on a peace warrant issued by Justice Oliveira, on complaint of threatening the life of the mate of the Son An tonio. Captain Leo has made application for assis tance to the Postmaster at Savannah and to the United States Commissioner, to enable him to carry the mails according to his contract, as the negroes at Darien bad threatened to detain the bout on its next arrival.—Savannah Bepubli- can. Dumbfounded.—We see from the N. Y. Tri bune that tho magi of New England are gathered at Yale, dmnb-fotoding each other in what are called “philo-logical discussions." Each man having crammed on a certain point—the force of a Greek particle—the use of the asperate—a Hebrew or chaldee root, or the parts of speech in Algouqueen or Choctaw, pours out a perfect volcano of erudition to which there can be no reponse, and to which nobody can say nay.— Consequently the meetings aro very harmonious —but tedious—extremely so. Feedebick William Amonq the Girls.—Near ly two thousand young ladies of Berlin applied for the position of presenting the golden laurel wreath and delivering the ode of welcome to the Emperor William upon his entrance into his capital. The young lady who was finally entrust ed with this task, Miss Blaster, was selected not only on account of her great beauty, but also because she had distinguished herself during tho war as a nurse in the hospitals. In accord ance with an old established custom, the Empe ror will hereafter take care of the lady, and in case she should marry, give her a dower of five thousand dollars.

REAL ESTATE DISTRIBUTION j of Memphis, Tenn., for 1871. SHARES $5 EACH. TAKE YOUR CHOICE. | A City Residence and also a Suburban lies idcnce for Sale. T HE City Residence is new and corners Oak and New streets; contains four rooms, hall and ve randah. Well shaded. In an excellent neighbor hood. No better water in the city, and convenient to church. Sufficiently near the business portion of the city for a business man, and yet far enough removed to avoid the disadvantages attending a residence too near. Time given on part of the pur chase money on both places. The other residence beyond Tattnall Square and on the Columbus road, contains five rooms, hall, verandah, basement and all out-buildings. Water good. Grounds covered with shade, both natural and artificial. On the place is a great quantity and variety of fruit, inclu ding a vinoyard. This property is admirably adap ted for a boarding house for the Mercer students, and the grounds offer superior advantages for gar den purposes. It is a delightful homo, and can never depreciate in value. Also, I will sell several choice building lots adjoiniDg same. If not sold, I will offer for rent, ending October. 1872. Jnl22tf A. W.

DEALERS IN J — AND — A Haverhill, Mass., man, who lately lost his pocketbook with $90 in it, has to console him self with this anonymous note from the finder: “I am a poor man, and my health is poor, and it seems to me that you lost that money te ben efit me. I send you back $4 and the change. You are rich, and profess to be a Christian. ] claim to belong to the same family. If the Lord blesses me, I will repay yon if I can; if not you most look to the Lord for it.” The editor of tho Elmira (N. Y.) Advertiser has poor luck buying medicine. ■ He says: “I went to a drng store early one morning for a dose of morphine for a sick friend. The night clerk objected to giving it to me without s pre scription, evidently feariDg that I would destroy myself. ‘Pshaw,’ said I, ‘do I look like a man who wonld kill myself ? Gazing at me steadily for half a minute, he replied, ‘I don’t know. Seems to me if I looked like you I should be greatly tempted to kill myself.’ ” The people of Rhode Island are happy in consequence of the appearance in their waters of that excellent fish" the bonita. This fish is esteemed superior to tbe Spanish mackerel, and nearly equal in flavor to the salmon. It has not been known in Rhode Island waters until re cently ; now it is so plentiful that it is sold in the Providence fish markets at twenty cents per pound. It is believed that a large proportion of what are termed Indian outrages are committed by white desperadoes from Mexico, who disguise themselves as Indians for the purpose of de ceiving their victims as to their nationality. They are said to frequent the Mexican line in the vicicity of the Rio Grande, committing depredations with impunity upon the people on both sides of the river. A few d-iys ago a young gentleman and lady from the rural districts visited Somerset, Pa., to get married. Tneyoung couple entered town on this festive occasion astride of one horse, had their horse fed, partook of a snmptuons re past consisting cf crackers, were then united in the holy bonds of matrimony by a justice of the peace, when they again mounted their steed and wended their way to their mountain home amid the cheers of the populace.
