Telegraph & Messenger SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 26, 1871 News Homs. Sudden Wealth.—A correspondent of Northern religions paper, after visiting Presi dent Grant's farm, a few miles from St. .Coms. says bo was roeeivod by Mr. Eldrod, who is on trusted by Grant with tho superintending of property valued at not less than '300,000. Tho farm includes, with recent purchases, bCO acres. Referring to this statement, the Brooklyn Eagle says: President Grant wont into tho army not worth a cent, and has lived quilo freely ever ainoe. His horses, equipages, etc., are tho theme of admiring descriptions from corros- B indents not only at Washington, but nt Long ranch and wherever else he takes np his tem porary abode. It is, therefore, quite consola tory to find that out of his not excessive salary, first as General and now as President, he is able to keep $300,000 of land and blooded stock. Thk Second Fiout with the Cobeans.—Ad miral Rodgers in bis official report of the second fight with the Corcans, June 10th, says: Two hnndrod and forty-three of the enemy’s dead were counted within and aronnd these works, and fifty flags were taken. Tho works were formidable, not only from natural features of tho land, from ahoals and violent currents in the river, but wero rendered artificially so l>y hundreds of weapons, of various kinds, placed by the enemy for their defence. The World of Tuesday says of tho battle It aoems that 608 Amerians defeated 6,000 of tho barbarians. Tho Navy Dopartmpnt is in receipt of dispatches from tho Admiral, but thoy will not be given to tho public nntil the Cabinet has had nn opportunity to examine them. Tho last AuRlo-Chineae newspapor con tains the startling rumor that tho Colorado and another Amorican man-of-war had run aground, wore eaptnred by the Coreans, and all on board massacred with the exception of Minister Low, who was rotained as a hostage. There is no confirmation of this alarming intelligence from official sources. Shelled.—Thostcamor Plymouth Rock,while passing Fort Richmond, Staton Island, Monday evening, camo noar being hit by n bomb from the fort. The shell explodod within fifty yards of the boot and shook her so violently that chairs were upset in tho OAbins. Dn. Hzlmbold.—Tho New York Commercial Advertiser Bays a representative of that paper called at Dr. Ilelmbold'a Broadway store on Tuesday and was shown the following telegram : “Lono Bbanch, August 21.—To Jlcad Clerk. Whilo out gunning this morning with a party, toy gun accidentally went off. I am not so foolish as to kill myself. I will bo in town to morrow. H. Dr. Holmbold’a store Is in a state of mego from tho numerous frionda who call in to ascer tain tho truth of tho reported attompt at sui cide. On being shown tho above telegram they feel relieved, and smooth thoir alarm in a glass of refreshing soda water drawn from the palace fountain.” The yonng man nt tho soda foun tain has plonty of business. Tho Doctor is ex pected in town to-day. Tho excitement at Long Branch, when tho occurrence was first reported, was great. The Doctor drove ont last night, and bowed to the several occupants of carriages whom he met on the route. He is a perfect lion, being (be object of the greatest attention. Theodobe Tilton, being interviewed, depo- soth and saith that ho never shall bo qaito con tented nntil bo sees a President of tho United States elected who will embody at onco tho highest recognition of tho claims of tho negro and of the female sox. I mean, saith Tilton, “a Mgr tat." Upon that, Gilbert Haven, of Boating, rospondeth that in order lo make the thing perfeot, aho must also be tho wife of a whito man. Verily, addetb, the New York Tri bune, “the world moves." The Festival Juooeunaut,—A Calcutta cor respondent of the London Times, writing Juno 3d, says: “Wo are in tho midst of the festival of the bathing of Jnggemath; bis groat day—the Roth Jatrn, or the journey of tho car, will bo on the 20th. Fancy a lino of road about two milos long, lined fiom end to end with sellers of frnit, sweetmeats, baskets, fans, and all . manner of native productions, the fans made from the ordinary palm loaf, and selling at a little less tbnn halfpenny each. From ton to fifteen thousand geople—the vast majority wo- mon—wore on tho road, trying to got as near ns possible to whero tho god was bathing. It is in such a scone as this that one is brought faco to faco with tho masses of the people. And how docile they are! They had come from gront distances. Some were unmistakably foot sore and weary; very many were old, nearly worn ont, and possibly nnxionn, for the last time, to seo tho god bathed. The faces of the yonng girls I thought more wearied-looking still; faces not pretty in any case that I saw, and vory ngly in some, but with sn expression that it was imposiblo to look upon without pity.” Minnesota had—bnt has no longer—the pre mium boy fiend. His latest and final exploit is thus described: Punished by his mother for some offence, he went into the woods and hung himself to a tree. He was detected in time and ont down. Only inspired with new zeal at his failure, ho took a can of kerosene, oalled a lit tle brother and sister, poured the kerosene on tho firo aronnd which they had gathered, and in an instant converted himself and his victims into human cinders. Tho age of this yotmg monster was fourteen years. Active Times.—The Commercial and Finan cial Chronicle prognosticates active trade aud lively times this fall and winter—good for regu lar business, but bad for tho speculators.— Spenking of the financial year which closes on the 31st of Angnst, tho Chronicle says: The customary liases of estimating the value of merchandise being disturbed, extreme fluctu ations in prices followod. Cotton declined and advanoed seven cents per pound. Flour advanced and declined nearly two dollars a barrel. Wheat advanced fifty cents and declined thirty-five cents a bushel. Pork advanced four dollars and declined nine dollars a barrel, with other hog products in proportion. The Wilmington Star is responsible for the following—at least, we bavo seen it in no other paper: Bathixq Under Difficulties.—Out in Ohio, some time since, twenty Baptist clergymen, who were attending a convention, went down to a secluded spot on the river bank in the af ternoon for tho purpose of taking a swim. These score of brethren removed their clothing and placed it upon tho railroad track close at hand, becanso tho grass was wet. Then they entered the water and enjoyed themselves. Presently an express train came aronnd the ourve at the rato of forty miles an hour, and before nny of the swimmers could reach dry land all their undershirts and socks and things were fluttering from the cow-catcher and speed ing onward toward Kansas. It was painful for the brethren—exceedingly painful—became all the clothing that conld be fonnd, after a careful search, was a nun nmbrella and a pair of eye glasses. And they do say that when those twenty marched home by the refulgent light of the moon that evening, in single file and keeping close together, the most familiar acquaintance with tho Zouave drill, on tho part of the man at the head with the nmbrella, still hardly suf ficed to cover them completely. They said they felt conspicuous, somehow; and the situation was all tho more embarrassing because all the Dorcas societies and woman's rights conven tions, and the pupils at the female boarding schools, . seemed to be prancing aronnd the streets and running across the route of the pa rade. Tennessee cx a Frolic.—We see by letters borne that tho Tennessee editors are on a “press excursion to Baltimore, where they have been re ceived with all the honors and railroaded, steam- boated and hacked all over, aronnd and abont the city and its land and water environs. Besides they have feasted their reasons and flowed their souls to a certain degree. They think Baltimore is a great place, aud Baltimore has this advan tage that it can be seen to be a great place, drunk or 6ober. Rogues Should Sweab N ever to Q call el.— The furious Radical belligerents in New Or leans are now telling on each other and proving themselves to be indiatinguiehably and inimita bly villainous. According to Carter, the business of signing bills, as prosecuted by “Governor'' Warmoulb, is one of tho most profitable in tho known world. Ho got $800,000 in bonds for writing his narno one tirno. For another display of his cbirography he took $75,000 fn cash—refusing to accept fifty thousand as a price altogether too low; while in the way of public printing he pockets the third of 5.150,000 every year. In short ho is loyal* But, then, Warmoulh comes back with heavier sIodos against tho other side, showing that compared with them ho is a rnero babo in devotion to tho union of the States and tho eqnalify of the African. After Boss Tweed.—The St. Louis Republi can sent an interviewer all the way to New York to inquire into alleged corporation frauds. Intorviower saw Mr. Hall, and found him a man living on an official salary of §5,000 a year and some law practice—not rich—not owning any property. Hall said there had been some frauds in executing contracts—but that was hard to prevent—happened to evory govern ment—and these were much exaggerated. But tho interviewer was admirably pointed and di rect with respect to Boss Tweed. We quote: Correspondent—And now, let me ask you, is it true that you and Mr. Hall have stolen money? Mr. Tweed (slightly coloring)—This is not a question one gentleman ought to put to another. I have plenty of roal estate, and they could get hold of me easily enough, if what the Times said were true. Now, as a perfect pink of Bimple, unadultera ted courtesy, candor and simplicity, whero will that correspondent find his like? An African Publio Meeting.—A Washington letter to the Buffalo Express, (Radical) compli ments the negroes on their capacity in the way of political speeches and meetings, and adds the following in reference to a meeting in Wilming ton : Allan Denton (colored) officiated as chairman and tho mah who had the floor, after a long and flowery appeal, was winding up as follows: “And I say, my follow-citizens, dat eberylhing aro changed; dat wo is better men, and we is moro spedious." “What, what dat yon say?” interrupted tho cliairman, who comprehended tho dignity and duties of his position, “ what dat word you say?” Spedious is de word I ex claim. Isn't I right, Mr. Chairman?” “O, spedious, spedious! yes, dat’a all correct. Pleaso prohibit to finish your remaiks,” which he did with the evident consciousness of having annihilated the presiding officer." Cotton Figures.—Cotton was firm in Liver pool yesterday at unchanged quotations. Sales 15,000 bales. Sales of tho woek 102,000. Stock 604,000, of which 284,000 wore American. Re ceipts 77,000, of which 14,000 wore American. Stock afloat 476,000, of which 56,COO were American. Compared with last Friday’s figures tho case stands thus : August 19. August 26. Stock in Liverpool 596,000 604,000 Afloat for Liverpool 528,000 476,000 Sales of the week 64,000 102,000 Compliments to Butleb.—At Springfield Massachusetts, yesterday, Butler, while address ing a public meeting, was denounced verbally and by telegraph as “a liar and a blackguard.” Is it possible that the Massachusetts Radicals ore at length discovering tho true moral status of Butler? Probably thoy never would have doB0 so bnt for tho preliminary investigationby Blaino and others in Washington last spring. This sharpened their wits and gave them cour age. It is always easy to discover a thing when it is pointed ont to you. The wind appears to bo rising in the French National Assembly. 'I he Cost of Royalty. Tho London Times of Angnst 6tb, has an article sustaining the action of tho House of Commons in voting a splendid annuity to Prince Arthur. Tho Thunderor contends that its numerous sprigs of royalty would be degraded, and “publio opinion scandalized, ” if any one of them engaged in a useful, self supporting occupation. What for instance if Princess Loniso should open a school ? Horror of hor rors—tho daughter of a Queen turn governess or school marm! Such a procedure might do for an American, or the child of an impecunious Swiss President,” but never could the blood of Kings be thus polluted. We suppose these notions all grow out of the ancient postulate that the King is the “Lord's nnuointodand tho “King can do no wrong," etc. A superior being then in every sense, like the queen bee, tho royal family must simply sit in state and be supported by their loyal sub jects. This may be essential to the perpetuation and grandeur of dynasties, which at once lose pres tige if popularized in the least degree, bnt the principle will not hold good when judged from the stand points of morality and utility. A sovereign should seek to be a useful and practical member of society also. He should lead in gTeat enterprises for the nation’s weal. He should mix freely with the people and ac quaint himself with their wants and wrongs. He shonld study their happiness and be regard ed as the common father of all. So thought Peter, the Great, and Alfred, of England, and hence the veneration with which they were re garded by the people. We hold, therefore, that Prince Arthur would not be degraded if he engaged in any industrial pnrenit, which would add to the nation’s wealth and importance. And if the gentle Lonise conld unbend suffi ciently to devote a few hours daily to the in struction even of an orphan or charity school, she would lose not a jot of her royal dignity, bnt might win the love and affection of the masses, and perhaps inspire the nobility and aristocracy with similar impulses to do good, As asserted in a former article, we regard the sons and daughters of the heroes of the war, who, having been reduced to penury, are now nobly struggling for the support of the helpless and aged, as far more worthy of honor than in the palmiest days of their prosperity. Yea, we consider them to belong to the trne nobility and blood royal of the human race, and infinitely more to be admired than the hereditary recip ients of princely titles. All honor to virtuous self-sacrificing labor. v , ~- V Mercer University Buildings. Judge Clarke, President of the Mercer Uni versity Building Committee, gives good and sufficient reasons to-day why the buildings of that institution are not in tangible brick and mortar. No considerate person in Macon either disappointed or impatient. Mercer is building, not for one or ten, but for a hundred years; and it is due to tho Committee, to the University and its friends, and to the present and succeeding generations, that the bnildings should be as tasteful and as perfect in their adaptation as the best skill and judgment of the times can make them, with the means in hand. We are rejoiced, therefore, to see that the Com mittee have summoned the highest architectural talent and experience in (he United States to their aid, and we trust they will pursue their work with all the deliberation necessary, not only for well digested plans, bnt after they have been'formed and adopted, that the construction will not be hurried too much to produce the best and most durable workmanship. We en tirely agree with the Judge, and think there was no explanation due in the premises. A Railroad Conducive Drowned.—Conduc tor Robert E. Roddy, a yonDg and meritorious officer of the Atlantic and Gulf railroad compa ny, was drowned in the great Ogeechee river on Thusday last. He was a son of Dr. R. L. Roddy, of Forsyth, and was a most popular and worthy gentleman. His body had not been re covered up to noon of yesterday. the GEORGIA PRESS. The Savannah papers give melancholy reports of tho late storm from sea and land. The San Salvador, which arrived at ten o’clock Wednesday, bronght the crew of the abandoned Schooner Wm. B. Mann. The steamship Mont gomery towed in a Spanish bark disabled. We clip the following from the Republican: Our columns this morning present evidences of some of the dsmago done to vessels at sea by the late terrific gale. The recital of tho or deal through which tho captains and their sail ors passed should be heard from their own lips, for our pen cannot do justice to the suddenness and fury with which the gale shattered proud vessels almost to pieces, and barely spared hu man life. Supposed Loss op Mb. Richard Walsh and Four White Men or the Stobm of Satuedat Last.—Mr. Richard Walsh, of our city, left Savannah for Green Island on Thursday, 10th inst., taking with him a fiat load of lumber for Beaulieu, which he unloaded at that place on Saturday, 12th, inst, and started for Green Island on the same day for a load of oyster shells. Since that time he has not been heard of, and his friends are apprehensive that he has been lost in the recent heavy gale, together with the crew of four white men who were with him, and whose names our informant did not knuw. The Rice Crops.—Tho damages to the rice crops in this State, and in the vicinity in South Carolina, has been donbless very great.

The writer has known him of the Telegraph long time. The man has no great amount of sense, but he means well. How rr is Done.—The arrival of a cargo of fresh beef at Philadelphia from Texas, perfectly sound and sweet after a three weeks’ voyage, has been announced. Similar cargoes had pre viously been received at New Orleans and sold at very low but remunerative prices. The pub lic will l*e interested to know how the meat is preserved. The modus overandi is simply a fan revolved by steam, forcing a current of air through a quantity of ice, upon which common salt has been sprinkled, thereby reducing the temperature from 60 to 35 degrees in a few mo menta.
