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 ,

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.

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
