ErnoriAW ImnanAsrs.—The News and
Ooniiar'sNsw York correspondent writes that
there was never before so many European im
migrants ponring into thst port ns now. The
•turners come in daily with loads of one
thousand and fifteen hnndred people. While
tha number of Irish immigrants is still large,
tha percentage is doorcasing in comparison with
the number of German, English and Swedish
immigrants. The English, from the farming
and msnnfaotnring districts, are beginning to
came over in saoh large numbers that the
stream promises to wldan to tho dimensions of
that of the Irish. There is a small bnt quite
perceptible Italian immigration. Of tho ar
rivals in New York /ally elghly per cent, go
West. A very small proportion go South, and
the remainder slay to add to the permanent
population of the metropolis.
How (be People’* Money Goes.
A government clerk at Washington, com
menting upon tho recent exposures mtde by
the San of the Increase in tho expenditures of
thsTreunry Department contingent fand, gives
that paper some additional Information on the
•ubjeot of horses and carriages for the officials
of thst department which are wholly unauthor
ised by law, bnt which tho people of this great
and gloriona, free and happy, peaceful, pros-
perons and united country are made to pay for
all the same.
He says he U a dark in the Internal Reve
nue Bnresn, and knows something of the
growth of this horse-and-cerriege abnse. The
fine time a carriage and pair of horyes was
thought necessary for the use of this bureau
wa. daring the Oommissionerehip of Delano.
He mu.t have a oarrisge to ride to the Capitol
daring the session of Congress; so a pair of
hotssa and a fine osrriage were bought. In a
few weeks some exen.e was made to bay an
other pair of horses and a carriage for one or
tha Ojinmisiioner's favorites. This lasted
about a month, and then another pair of
hones and a carriage was bought. The next
was a stylish bnggy for young John Delano,

We see It stated that a British man of war
*° m ® celebrity a century sinoe, has reoently
been overhauled and her ribs and principal
timbers of live oak found to be in a perfectly
sound condition. The frigate “Constitution, 1
too, familiarly known as “Old Iron Sides," _
still afloat, , n d * .nggeation has been made
that it be token to Pntladelphia and form part
of the grand programme of the National cen
tennial celebration in 18TC.
These anoient keels, it ii well known, are
frequently lifted from their watery element by
the agency of the dry docks, which have been
Invented, and are razeed, bnilt new, or other
wise altered according to the condition of the
craft nnder treatment, or the teste of the gov
ernment architect. Some of them, perhaps, do
not now contain sufficient of their origintl
material for the manufacture of a single tooth
pick or annff box. Bnt those whose timbers
•re composed of heart Georgia live oak, are
well nigh indestructible.
The writer can cite fields on ihe seaboard of
Liberty connty, which have been cleared over
one hundred yean, and which still contain the
numerous upright trunks of girdled live oaks,
from whioh the sap wood long since his fallen.
Bleached by the gales of old ocean, they remain
ss sentries on the coast, their giant arms stand
* n S rigidly forth, and ofttimes snrmounted by
tho bald eagles eyrie, or the huge nests of fish-
hawks. Wnen a boy, on Oolonel Island, wo re
member, with the aid of a comrade afterwards
a graduate of West Point, and a most gallant
offioer in the Hexioan war, snoeessfally clam
bering to the top of one of these gnsrled and ons '
blasted sons of the forest to rob on eagle of its
yosng. With mneb ado, hard poshing, and tho
aid of long poles, the lower branches were
reached, after which the asoeot was less difficult.
Bnt it seems Ihe worst was yet to come: Sud
denly the swoop of stalwart wings was beard,
and both or the old birds, with warlike beaks and
flashing eyes, appeared upon the soene. They
clreled around the head of the affrighted depo
nent in such close proximity, that he began to
come down that tree as fast as a greased streak
of lightning. With piercing screams and angry
mien, they dashed at him, jost missing his de
voted bead, and calling vividly to mind the fate
of the disobedient boy, of whom it is said,
“The ravens shall pick ont his eyee,
And eagles eat the same."
Bat they permitted him to reach the lowest
fork about fifteen feet from the earth in safety.
Now, however arose, a great perplexity. The
enormous girth of the tree precluded any at
tempt to encircle it with his arms, and how
then coaid he slide to the earth.
A consultation of war was held with his com
panion below, who by shouts and missives was
now able to keep tho infuriated feathered mon
sters somewhat nt bay, and finally by the agency
of two fenoe rails, proping each of his feet, the
writer at imminont risk of life and limb, man-
aged to descend to terra Jirma, coming down,
however, “by the ran," and mnch too fast for
comfort. Oh how good tho solid earth did feoL
And from that dsy to this, we have been down
npon birdnesting of every description. Jlete-
noni a mouion.
These live oak trees are so hard as almost to
turn the edge of the keenest axe. To drive a
nail into one of them is well nigh impossible.
And even when prostrated by the hurricane
and deeply embedded in the yielding soil of the
coast, they seem impervious to time and the at
trition of the elements. They remain bleach
ing npon the earth jost as they fell generations
'fror Bhip-building, no material oan oompsre
with this description of timber. Tho knees and
other portions of the frame of a man-of-war are
fashioned by nature, the wood-entter having a
drawing of each piece, and seeking its exact
counterpart among the huge and wide-Bprending
boughs of tho monarch of the forest. The
trank of the live-oak is of immense diameter,
bnt seldom exceeds 15 feet in height. At about
that distance from the earth it shoots ont gigan-
tio branches many feet in eircnmference, and
extending horizontally to a great distance.
These limbs assume toitnons and varlons
shapes, so that almost every angle is described
by them. Henoe’ tho ability to proonre the
crooked knees so essential in the constrnction
of a ship. These gnarled pieces of timber pos
sess amazing strength and dnrability, and can
stand any amonnt of straining and the heaviest
A single live-oak will some times cover one-
fonrth of an aore. With their deep-green, del
icate leaves, and the long festoons of gray moss
draping their venorsble forms, no more striking
objaot in natare can be found. They produce
an immense nnmber of slender acorns, about
three-fourths of an inch in length, and quite
palatable as an artiole of food. The live oak
colters of the government penetrate the densest
thickets, and with their short elub axes cut
down these vast trees close to the ground, with
wonderful oelerity. They then oonstrnot im
prevised oordnroy roads of poles, and with the
aid of oxen, drag their dismembered prizes to
the nearest water course, where they are hoist-
ed on board the vessel or barge, as the case may
be, and oonveyed to deep water. So great is
tho speoiflo gravity of this wood, that it will
sink to the bottom like a stone, and therefore
oannot be rafted as other lumber.
Tho timber sells by tho onblo foot, and
oommands high prices. On the ooast of
Georgia the General Government owns one
island called Blackboard, whioh, In tho early
yonth of the writer, was rented to several fish
ermen upon the condition that they sowed a
small area of land with acorns of the live oak,
and cultivated a plantaUon of young trees.
This spot was the place, tradition declares,
where the pirate Oapt. Kidd secreted his ill-
gotten treasure, and the whole island is thick
ly indented with the holee dng by crednlona
explorers. The writer was one of a fishing
party thirty years ago who visited the island.
For mere sport he began digging in the asnd
on the beaoh, and suddenly unearthed tho half
of a grindstono. Certain that he had struck
“He,” the dirt then flaw like forty salaman
ders were at work, bnt, alas, “nary red” did he
find, and the hole was abandoned in intense
disgust. He retired, more convinced than ever,
that by the sweat of his brow shall man earn
his bread.
Crops In Barbonr Comity—Cater

Thx Enfanla Times, of Thursday, has these
items:
OxTini’iLi.AES.—The report of farmers in
this section is that this torriblo soourge which

spreading and inoreasing in numbers.
Tes Caors.—Seasonable rains have fallen da-

the growi og crops, and gardens. From hit. An

The crops in this part of Barbonr are in an

point. If so, w* should feel duly grateful.

THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Thx Albany Central City acknowledges its
statement that the editor of the Albany Nows
proposed its expulsion from the Preas Associa
tion to have been “inoorrect as an actual occur
rence, though in strict conformity to hia evi
dent intentions previous to the meeting of the
Association." It also deniea ever having vio
lated any of the rules of the Association. AeS
now let os have peaoe. We are sick of this
squabble, and so, without donbt, are the read
ers of the two papers above named. We,
least, are done with it.
Thx Atlanta druggist, Geo. S. Jones, whose
carelessness censed, or is alleged to ha re caused
the death of Dr. Craig, of that oity, a few weeks
since, was tried on the charge of involuntary
manslaughter in Fnlton 8operior Court on
Thursday, and acquitted. In the same court,
on Friday, Wallace Haskell, charged with being
connected with the Force-Townsend duel, was
also acquitted. And on the aame day ths grand

store, it will be remembered, was bnroed last

Wx find these items in the Atlanta Son, of
yesterday:
Accident cs the Are Line.—At six o'clock
yesterday morning the engine of the lumber
train on the Air Line Railroad ran into a
hand car on which there were several track hands,
all of whom jumped off but a white named
Waters. He remained until knocked off by
Ihe collision and one lh : gh was broken, besides
an ugly wound In the cheek. Though serious
ly hart, his wonnds are not neoessanly danger-
A Beastly Outsaos in DeKazb County.—
We are informed that a yonng girl living in the
neighborhood of Harrison Goodwin’s in Do-
Kolb connty, was outraged on Wednesday, by a
white fiend in bnmtn shape. The party was
arrested snd brought to the eannty jail in this
city on yesterday, for safe keeping.
The man’s name Is Gas Pagh, and the girl's
Georgia Lowery.
The Son also ssys there is some fear or cbol
era in that oity and adds:
There is no denying the faot thst although
Atlanta Is not sofficiently drained, and that we
ore liable daring the summer months to a great
deal of sickness, or some kind of epidemic.
The feet thst there is no means of carrying off
the garbage of the town is prpcf enough that
some measures ought to be promptly token by
our oity authorities to remedy the eviL Should
the chulera make its appearance in Atlanta, as
it is reported to be in Nashville, it woa'd most
oertainiy beoome a terrible epidemio. The very
water we drink is most thoroughly impregnated
with the filth, scam and garbage of the city—
all of whioh is taken into the system either by
drinking or in its use in the preparation of onr
food.
The steamboats Katie and Bennetteaville col
lided on the Savannah river Wednesday after
noon, abont thirty miles above Savannah, with
tho result of throning two men into the water,
one of whom, a negro, was drowned. Both
steamers were considerably damaged by the
collision.
The Chronicle and Sentinel of Thnrsdsy,
says:
“On lost Tuesday evening Mr. Philip Snlli-
vtn called at the residence of Mr. Thomas H.
Lyons, in this city, for the pnrpose of getting
some money which the latter owed him. He
found Mr. Lyons in bed. High words ensned
between the two in reference to the matter,
and Mr. Lyons finally picked np half a brick,
which was lying against the door of the room,
and threw it with violence at Mr. Sullivan.
The missile struck Mr. Sullivan over one of his
eyeB, fracturing the ekull and inflating a very
serious wound. Mr. Lyons was at once arrest
ed by the polioe and taken before Justice
Picqnet, who commuted him to inil to await
terday afternoon Mr. Sollivan was lying in a
very critical condition, and doubts of his re
covery were expressed. We did not hear of
any previons difficulty between the parties.”
“Cbaps in thx Gbass” is the chorus this week
from almost all onr weekly exchanges. Some
them—the Saudersvillo Georgian and Oar-
tersvilleStatdtrd among the nnmber—also re
port labor very scaroe—planters Doing oompell-
to pay one dollar per day and rationB to
hands to chop cotton. The Standard says the
various iron enterprises in that section are mo
nopolizing the laber to a great extent.
Southwest Geoboia Caors. The Albany
Control Oity, of Thursday, says:
On Friday last, we made a flying visit to
Cnthbert, and took special notioe of the crops
along the line of ths Southwestern railroad.
We never saw crops cleaner or in better condi
tion. Ail kinds of grain were looking healthy
and vigorous, and ootton was fresh snd well
grown. Passing into the country, north of
Cnthbert, wo saw oorn five, and even six feet
tali, the 9tands averaging waist high. SqnareB
on ootton have made their appearance on sev
eral plantation in that locality. Everything
seems prosperous, and farmers are very san
guine of an immense yield. Crops in this seo-
tion are equally promising, though reports of
the cotton dying have reached us.
Pbettt Good.—The Dolton Citizen gets eff
this:
then they may rest assured that the balanee of
their days will be spent in the ranks of the
Jeffersonian fraternity; nnlesa they shill in an
other evil hour take after some other New
Departure.”
We suppose no one has ever questioned Mr.
Stephens' Democracy—we never have. We be
lieve him to be as oonnd a constitutions.! man
as there is the country; but we imagine it would
puzzle the most Estate brain to determine why
he ever uttered a word in advocacy of Grant's
“ honesty” and “ integrity,” or to speak of him
in any way exoept os the most contemptible
piece of infinitesmal littleness that ever dis
graced a public position. Sorely no other Dem
ocrat in all this broad domain would so far for
get himself as to speak of the petty tyrant in
any other terms than those of contempt and ex
ecration.
As one of Mr. Stephens' strongest admirers,
we implore him to abstain in ths fntnre from
osanmieg the championship of a man’s “integ
rity” who baa throttled a sovereign State—who
holds Louisiana now in hi3 slimy coils ss the
rattlesnake holds the resistless rabbit. For
God's sake commend not the “virtues” of s
min who has not sense and honeety enough to
make a reepectat-la despot. This is our advice
to Mr. Stephens freely given.—Franklin Seta.

Mn. W. H. Youso, wife and daughter, and
Dr. N. J. Bussey, all of Oolnmbus, left that oily

Thx Sun, of Thursday, says:
Hats Subbindeexd Etxbtthin3. — The
Mesrs. Ccdy, who were forced to suspend by
the failnre of planters to respond to their ad
vances, have forwarded a full statement to all
their creditors, and proposed to make a full
surrender of their effecta without claiming any
of the exemptions allowed by law. We hope
soon to see them onoe more in active business.
The store hsa been, closed for several days.
It occurs to us thst a grammar, a spelling
book and some ideas as to the construction of
sentences are very badly needed in some news
paper offices in this State. If men who print
newspapers set themselves up as publio educa
tors, they certainly should not spell “entrance”
'enterance,” pane of glass “pain,” “stepped'
‘ateped," and say the marshal “overtaken” i
prisoner. All this has a bad look, and trivial
as some may think, it seriously detracts from
the standing and influence of the paper.
Thx Scpbimx Ooust.—The Atlanta Herald,
of yesterday, says:
The January term of this State tribunal of last
resort is rapidly drawing to a close after a long
session of arduous labor on the port of the pre

of coses for argument at this term there now
remains bnt sixteen—four from the Oemnlgee
Circuit, which are next in order, and five from
Brunswick Circuit, which are the last on the
docket. These case* will probably be disposed
of by the 18th or 19th instant, and as the Jnly
term commences on the first Monday in July
next, this will give bnt a short recess.

Atlantis and Great Western Canal
In a rejoinder to on editorial by the Telx-
ghafh qnoted in port by the Chattanooga Times,
that paper says:
This is a gross misconception of the position
of Cincinnati and Tennessee npon this snbject.
There is not now, nor has there been any
local jealousy hers nor there. The enterprise
has not progressed far enough for snch jealous
ies to take shape. It is not the tihere of build
ing of this great water-way bnt the how of doing
it, upon which Tennessee, Kentucky and Cin
cinnati have taken is*no with Georgia. These
States will oppose, snd by their opposition will
defeat, any scheme that looks to the enrich
ment, through this great national improve
ment, of a ring or oompany, no matter whether
those who compose such ring or company, be
citizens of Georgia or the otber States named.
We demand, and this demand will eventually
be acceded to, that all such great highways to
be hereafter bnilt, aboil be bnilt by the Govern
ment, and thrown open to the whole people—
made practically free to the whole country. We
oppose any project that gives the right to any
company of capitalists to tax the produoe of the
Northwest and the manufactures of the Sooth
by burdening them with “tolls” while in transit.
We have seen the government fleeoed by pri
vate corporations in the cases of the Lonisville
Canal and the Pacific railroads, out of more
than enough to have built those improvements,
and we know that what has been stolen by these
rings of thieves is now being wrong from the
producers of wealth in the form of “tolls” and
“freights.”
The location of the canal is a matter of sec
ondary importance. We of Chattanooga wish
that all lines suggested be surveyed by the Gov
ernment ; and that when H is bnilt, it be bail!,
owned and controlled by the Government. The
danger of jobbery and thievery lies not in tho
location of the line, but in the possible plan of
buildiDg it. And we are free to say that in onr
opinion, it were better for all concerned, that
the work be indefinitely postponed, than that it
should be owned and controlled by a company
who begin to subsidize newspapers, lobbyists
and Congressmen while tbeir enterprise is prao-
tioally without a name or location. If these
things be done in the green tree wbat may wo
not expeot in the dry ?
And wo repeat that, instead of “a gross mis
conception” of the object and animus of the
Times and its party—a man most have a fool’s
simplicity to believe them even serious on
the idea that the Government con be brought
build, own and ran this canal at its own cost
and charges for the pnblio benefit Tho idea
practioally absurd, and oan possibly be ad
vanced for no other pnrpose than to defeat the
canal altogether—to fight and kill tho project
nnder cover. Any Southern or Western man
engaged in juch a warfare needs a cover. He
must be sensible that some show of exouse is
due to the people for opposition to a project
dictated by the supreme necessities of both
sections—a plan of oheap intercommunication
essential to the DreaDaritv nthnth
—but it is too childish—too transparent to
servo his pnrpose.
Africans.
Africa is a great faot; we cannot get rid of it,
and we are fast becoming convinced that it may
be turned to a better use than we have hitherto
made of it. The Africans are irrepressible;
they have the gift of vitality above most men,
and live and multiply under circumstances that
would be the death of other races. The natives
of Tasmania have disappeared; the Australians
are nearly extinot; it is but an actuary’s ques
tion as to when we shall see the last of New
Zealandeis; and the Indians of America die
out in the presence of the white man. Nut so
the Afrioan. Piaco him where you will, so long
he gets sunshine, and under what circum
stances you may, and Israel in Egypt searoely
increased faster. It is estimated that there are
nearly 13,000,000 of people of Afrioan descent
on tho mainland and islands of America. Afri
ca itself is more thickly peopled than was sup
posed. Instead of 30,000,000, it probably con
tains 100,000,000 people.
We cannot hope to possess ourselves of
Africa as we did of America, for side by aido
with ns on his own soil tho African would sure
ly prove the stronger. So, whether wa meet
with him in his own land, or elsewhere, it is
manifestly to onr own interests (to say nothing
of higher motives) to make the best of him.
It is in Africa itself we mast look for the high
est possibilities of the raae, for those ontside
are slaves or the descendants of Blares. They
live also in the lands of their freedom, and in
the presenoe of thode who are, or who have
been, their masters. You may free them all,
but you will not purge them from the ill effects
of slavery simply by emancipating them. It
will take many years to get rid of the mis
chief which long generations of slavery have
wrought in their natures. Had the Israel
ites after their emancipation remained in
Egypt in the presence of their former mas
ters, they would have been slaves in nature
still. And ao it was with the free oolored men
in the United States and the West Indies. Their
associations tend to keep alive the recollections
of the post and to check thenoblest aspirations.
The galling discomfort, if not of legal proscrip
tion, yet of bitter caste prejudice in the whites,
and which manifests itself in every-day life in
a thousand craol and annoying ways, are greatly
against them. These people, therefore, afford
as yet no fair criterion of what the African raco
is capable. I believe, however, that the possi
bilities of tho Africans on their own soil are
not inferior to those of any race of men on the
earth. Their civilization may, in Borne things,
prove nnlike onr own, their range of virtue and
vice somewhat differs, yet I do not think thoy
will prove mentally our inferiors, or that their
moral standard will be lower. I say this from
no theory evolved from my own inner con
sciousness, but from a conviction which is the
result of a personal knowledge of them.—
The CornhUL Magazine.
Why should the Oorohill Magazine maunder
abont the degradation of the African race by
slavery and its possibilities on Afrioan soil? He
has but to compare the Africans degraded by
slavery with the Africans who for thousands of
years have occupied their natal soil with every
opportunity for the unaided and unhindered de
velopment of their own postihdties. Why
should intelligent men longer shut their eyes to
the suggestion of common sense—observation—
to all the testimonies of history and all the re
cords of explorers and ethnologists with respect
to the African race?

Cotton Claims Barred by Limitation—
Treasury Decision.
Washington, Jane C —An important decision
of the Secretory of the Treasury has been
made with reference to claims for ootton seized
after Jane 30th, 1665. The law directing the
Secretary of the Treasury to pay the net pro
ceeds of ootton nnlawfally seized after Jane
oO:b ; lce5, war approved 3i»y kith, 1S72, and
reqnired that all petitions should be filed with
in siz mouths thereafter, or on or before No
vember 18:h, 1872.
Many petitions which had been duly signed
and sworn to, and plaoed in the mail before
November 18th, did not reaoh Washington un
til after that date. They wore, however, sent
to the Seoretary of the Treasury and reoorded,
as of the date when received. In reply to an
icqniry and argument of the point involved,
whether in two important cases so filed the
petition wonld be regarded ss filed in time, tho
Secretary has given the foltowicg decision:
Tbeasuby DEPAaratENT,
Washington,.D. G., Jane 4,
J. Madison Cutts, Esq., Attorney o_
Henderson, el at, Washington, 1). O. s
Deab Sib—I have rooeived your letter of May
24th nit, requesting to be informed whether
the claims ot L. D. Henderson and Laoy A.
Hopkins, filed by you os attorney on the 22d
day of November, iS7l\ under the provisions of
tha act of 8th May, 1672, will be considered as
filed within the time limited thereid^iz: within
six months after tne passage of the act.
Iu answer, I would that Rfter oareful
consideration of the snbject and of the mat'
ters p ggested in yonr letter I am of the opin
ion l^st l petition or claim under the aot
which was not read in the Treasury Depart
ment on or before the 18th dsy of November,
1872, can be regarded as having been filed
within six months after the passage of the aot,
and that any such claim read in the depart
meat after November 18th, cannot be consid
ered by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Respectfully, Wm. A. Richabdson,
Secretary of the Treasury.
It is the opinion of the best informed lawyers
here that the time for filing petitions, both In
cotton oases before the Secretary sod for stores
and supplies before the Commissioners of
Southern Claims, will undoubtedly be extended
by tbe next Congress. The above decision fur
nishes a strong argument in favor of snch exten
sion in cotton oases, as the six months given by
thestatate was manifestly too short a time to ena
ble the Southern claimant*, exercising all dili
gence and dispatch, to file tbeir petitions. It
is to be observed that the Southern Claims
Commission did receive petitions which reached
them March 8, 1873, provided they had been
mailed, signed and sworn to before that date.
Bat tbeir decisions are not final, bat are report
ed to Congress.
Tbe Secretory beirg authorized to pay money.
In his decision has decided to follow the more
rigid construction of the statute. His decision
is not adversd to the interests of the ootton
claimants, sinoe it will involve and almost com
pel the farther legislation which will be sought.

niDYIUHr DISPATCHES.
The Bowen-Beecber-Tilton Scandal
The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton News and Courier, under date of Monday,
writes as follows on the subject:
There was a large crowd at Mr. Beecher’s
church yesterday morning and evening, many
persons evidently expecting that he would al-
lnde to the great scandal. But he said nothing
about it. Bowen Is in the West at present.
His son, who has charge of his business daring
his absence, telegraphed to him on Thursday,
when the tripartite pledge was made public:
“It is out; what shall I do ?” Bowen tele
graphed back, “Do nothing.” Yonng Bowen
says that his father will make a fall explanation
when he returns. As it is proved now that
Henry E. Bowen was the originator of the scan
dals about Mr. Beecher, which the Woodhull
and Olaflin creatures hod garbled, it is difficult
to see how Plymouth Church can permit him to
retain his membership. He has been in the
habit of sitting in the most conspicuous pew,
last under the pnlpit of the man whom he has
reoently said he believed to be a villain.

work to transform him, and in course of time
we hed the satisfaction to see him grow up and
develop into a man of intelligenoo, worth and
piety. All this was done by onr only imitating
the spirit of Christ. And should we be able to
perform more tban the infinite love and tender
ness of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ ? If auy perished, it was the perishing
of the beast—destruction. Down in the Sonth
one oonid see elavesseventy years of age sitting

at the bottom of heaven than not at all.

they my. “I don’t know how it is with yon,'
said Mr. Beechor, with the tears choking bis
voioe, “but my sun would go out and leave alt
dark if I thought such a thing. The dropping
away of a child to join that prooeBsion—to enter
that life of infinite misery.' Every loving

A Colorado silver XUnc.
A Cariboo (Colorado) correspondent of the
New York Sun gives an ncconnt of the sale a
few weeks since of one of the richest silver
mine, we suppose, on the American continent
A Cincinnati man named A. D. Breed pur
chased it last year for$125,000, and haa recent-
Jy sold it to a Dutch oompany for $3,000,000.
The company)) agents arrived at the mine a
few weeks since. The correspondent says
They fonnd the mine 296 feet deep, with four
ehafts and about 2,000 feet of levels. It was
turning out an average of twenty tons of ore a
day, bnt thirty tons could bo thrown ont on a
pinch, with tho same number of workmen.
The cs
te cautious Datohmen measured the width of
the vein and the specifio gravity of tbe ore, and
resolved it into cubic feet. They took speci
mens from the thinnest as well as the fattest
streaks in the vein, had them assayed, and then
figured up the average yield. Of course, they
kept their figures to themselves; but it ia known
that they reckoned that there were over 40,000
tons of oro in sight, ready for sloping without
further sinking or drifting. At an averago of
$140 per ton, thia wonld amount to $5,000,000.
A bargain was made npon the spot. The
mine was Eold to the “Mining Company No-
derlacd of Hague” for $3,000 000. On the
day that tbe bond ran ont the Dutchmen de
posited $500,000 in the Park Bank of Now
York to the credit of A. D. Breed. This was
to bind tho bargain. A million more was to
be deposited in tho Fame bank os aoon as pos
sible. It has probably been done before this.
This million and a half represents $3,000,000
stock, the most of which is held in Holland at
par. It ia believod teat Mr. Bread and other
Americans hold somo of this stock. The
Dutch took possession of tho mine on April 27.
They also perfected arrangement for doub
ling the oapaoity of the redaction works. Tho
machinery is on its way to Middle Boulder from
San Francisco. When the chaoge is made the
company will bo able to crush forty tons of oro
dsy, and tho cautions Mr. Cutter ssys that ho
will turn ont from $80,000 to $100,000 in silver
every month. He adds that forty-five mnn now
raise twenty tons of oro a day from tho Cariboo
mine, while 100 men threw ont only 180 tons
daily from tho Gonld & Carry of Nevada. Tbe
twenty tons raised here by tbe forty-five men
nearly equal tho valao of the 180 tons raised
there by the 400 men.

Murderer Haaged.

Sir. Beecher a Unlversallst. *
According to the New York Snn’s report of
Esv. Henry Ward Beecher’s sermon in Ply
mouth Churoh last Sunday morning, he devel
oped very deoided leanings to the doctrine of
universal salvation. Said he:
We should not oarry onr earthly bodies into
the otherlife, yet we should have spiritual bod
ies which would identify ns ono from the other.
The sonls teat emerged from death into heaven
would raDgo along an extended soale. There
would be a syBtem of progress. Those Bonis
that were low in spiritual culture in this life
wonld be low down the scale in tho next. Each
sonl would begin with the capital acquired in
in this life. Those who had one talent would
be far below those who had five. Each one
wonld possess, as it were, a Bpecifio gravity in
the other, and wonld rest accordingly. Bat
Scripture justified the belief that all would be
as happy 03 they could bear. They would de
velop, however, with a rapidity of which we
oonid form no conception. Children who en
tered tee next life as children wonld rise and
develop more swiftly than on earth. Men of
low culture here would there grow with won
drous rapidity, so that the lowest and least
would speedily ontgrow all this world’s stand
ards. Take away irom man all that belonged
to hia lower nature, and give him in force all
that pertained to his higher nature, and then
you might conceive of the aptitnde with which
he would reocive the lessons ot the other. He
would be in a society, too, where all would
move with one intent—the evil gone, the
temptable dropped out—moved together like
the gnlf stream, mightily, incsistibly. There
would be also tee direct itflaence of God—how
mighty the influence, hew noble the joy!
UXXYERSALXST DOCTRINE.
We might thus Bee, said Mr. Beecher, how
men who, when they died, were not very fit for
tee earth, might nevertheless enter heaven, and
hevean might develop what earth never would
have developed. Sometimes when opening up
a long disused well men found a few old seeda
at the bottom. Tney had lain there for years.
There was no Sign of life about them. They
were brought to tee liRht, however, and the tun
shone upon teem. They began to grow and
sprout, and soon became healthy, vigorous
plants. One might conceive people here unfit
ted by force of aDimal passions for a spiritual
life, who, nevertheless, when death took away
what waa their bane on earth, might begin a
good life in a future state. Some represented
a man as taking into tho next world the nature,
the disposition he had in this. How canid we
conoeive a man’s taking all his sensual, rude,
inchoate nature into the otber life ? He did
not take it with him. Men grew as straw. We
could conceive a germ which, when freed from
the chaff and bettered, nnrtnred, and educated,
and glowed on by tho Bnn of God’s love—would
open up and grow and flourish. On earth, all
through much sin and datkncs3 it lived and
grew some at times. But, with a thousand
hindrances shredded off, we could understand
how men whom society rejects now, may get
STANDING BOOM IN HEAVEN,
not high np, but a starting place. If heaven
was so rigidly pure, teen death must be a
a great aifter. Look at tee saint of years.
How imperfect, how deficient, how very far
down he is. What man ever walked to the
gate of heaven, and had the angel to lay on
him that scale, and say, “Enter, because thou
art pure V Not one, though he may have
been washed by flood, of tears, and Bifted by
years of trial, and ennobled by acts of hero
ism. No; heaven was opened by graee—by
graoe only, by love. God lets in whom he
wonld, and we didn’t know his guage.
Some might say, “Isis safe to hold sueh views
as these ?” What right had they to challenge
God? He said, “I will have mercy on whom I
will.” God refused to be questioned on bis
generosity. If the beat went not into heaven
because he earned it, but because of the act of
great love, why might not tee bottomest go in
too ? So long as a man possesses a state of mind
that was improvable there was a chance for
N.tri tnS tbe preacher did not believe God wonld
cast him away. Mr. Beecher did not believe
there was a person on the faoe of earth who had
heard the Gospel and in whose sonl there was
anything improvable who wonld not find an en
trance into heaven—low down, it might be, but

DIAMOND SPECTACLES,
T HESE Spectacle, are manufactured from “Min
ute Crystal Pebbles” melted together, and are
called Diamond on account of their hardneea and
brilliancy. It is well known that spectacles cut
from Brazilian or Scotch pebbloe are vory injurious
to the eye, because of tbeir polarizing light.
Having been teetod with the polar is cope, tbe
diamond lenses have been found to admit fifteen
per cent, less heated raja then any otber peoble.
They are ground with great ecientiflo accuracy,
are free from chromatic aberrations, and produce
a brightness and distinctness of vision not before
attained in spcctaclOB.
