The Enfanlc News of Friday has the following > liars—OiTEttnr.ij.BS —We have had flood. e( ram for the last day or two. The ground la so* perfectly eat aimed and vegetation of , v r> k.i.d apring. into new life. The warm, cloudy and rainy weather la highly favorable to (C. merest* of the cotton oaterpillar, and nn- lua wa have a bright, hot ann very soon, we mayeipect to hear gloomy reports from ovary direction. The Oreenville Advocate of the same day tayst A friend, who returned from Fine Apple on last Sunday, informed ns that Hr. On*. Carter told him that the g.nnine ootton oaterpillar* were webbed in considerable numbers on his Mr. i nner I.J cotton, and that a great many of teem in the ooooon or chrysalis state, were nn- earthed by his plows. Tas Montgomery Advertiser has a private latter from Marengo county which says that Ik. cotton crops are email and badly in the paw. Tho corn crops are looking very well, y«t Ibe planters wear long faces and the ohief topic among them Is “grass and rain." The fact la the planters have cotton on the brain aud don’t care a-continental— for oorn. No one ever .peaks of bis corn crop. It is “ootton" . . Hil l •'rain” nil the while. These thing, have just about broken the whole oonn- UJ. m Tbe Caterpillar. The Eafaala Times of Friday says It la the opinion of one of the moet sensible and observ ant planters in that aeotion that “the caterpil lar la on tho inorease, and tnat it will eat np the eolton and destroy the crop. We are in a moat unprepared oondition to meet this calami ty, if it abonld come. There in no oats, no oorn, no bacon; and all onr money is in a little weed that Will not blossom for three Wofki We are at the mercy of a butterfly. “Fly away, pretty □ ilh; fly away.” A* will bo seen from a paragraph elsewhere copied from the Bilnbridge Democrat, the cat erpillar baa also made its appearanoe In Deoa- tnr county, and we shall doubtless hear of them very toon in Hitebell, Worth, hee, Dougherty and other counties where they were so destruc tive last year. We shall await Information from those counties with groat anxiety. If the worm really makes Us appearanoe within the next ten or fifteen days, we do not see what other resnlt can ensue than a total destruction of the orop and the oonacqennt min to the planters. Tho Modoca and Juniper. A piteous ncoonnt reaches ns from Camp Bojle. A detail of artillery-men had brought into camp a fine lot of pealed juniper sappllngs, and the curiosity of tbs camp to know what was to be done with them, bad just been satisfied with tbe information that Captain Jaok and a dozen or to of hla warriors were to be, in the expreasive langnago of tho hangman Dennis, "workad off.” General Davis was in tent draw ing off s catalogue or their offences to be read to tho doomed ludians just before they took the fatal drop—everything, in brief, was lovely and exciting, when n dispatoh arrives from Wash ington staying proceedings till farther advioes. In virtue of thoso facts and considerations Cap tain Jack A Co. are alive this Sunday morning, but one can't help believing the Captain’* lease of life very short. “ Tbe Old Flag.” The Northern brethren complain that the American display in Vienna does not yet reach to the extent of a correot oopy of the “ Old Flag.” One which the Yienese are flying has at least fifty stripes, instead of the traditional thirteen. Another rejoloes In a square of plain blue, instead of the thirty-seven stars, and others put in stars just as they please, and to soy number tho designer msy f»ney—while the loyalty of the whole country was outraged by the fact that at the opening of the Fair, in presence of all the kings and qneena of the universe, they floated the old flag bottom up wards. They olamor for R oorreot oopy of that old flag to float over tho patent rolllng-pln, the five-minutes' freezer, the lightning coffee-mill and milk-skimmer and apple-pater, whleh we are now exhibiting at Vienna. Sirs. Lee at Arlington. Tbe Washington correspondent of the Cin cinnati Gazette says that Mrs. Lee visited her property at Arlington—which the Federal Gov ernment meanly withholds from her—last Mon day. Sbo is an invalid, and expressed a desire to visit tho spot for the last time. She rode out from Alexandria, and stepped ont of the carriago, walked throngh the honse and about the grounds, and throngh part of the oemetery. She was accompanied by a friend and a single servant. The Washington Bepnblican advo cates the paying of Mrs. Lee a fair and proper compensation for Arlington. It says that Ar lington was purchased at a tax sale for a mere fraction of its value, nndsr the operation of a law which is of extremely donbtinl constitu tional validity. Dec idxxcx ot Libeett.—The New Fork Woild cites a passage in the speech of Senator Biyard on the Louisiana State government jost before the olose of the last session of Congress, at established in the decay of liberty In the Ccited States. “ I believe," said Mr. Biyard, “there are few men of property in Louisiana, or men holding the poor remnant of property that has been left them after the ravages of war and the plnnder of the class of people who have ruled over them in these past eight yean, there are few of them who would not hail a dean.handed, npright, honest military ruler as a blessing to them, instead of the government which yon have placed over ^them and kept them snbjeot to for eight years.’’ There can be no more incontestable mark of a government utterly bad, aaya the World, than the willingness of ths oommnnity it oppresses to exchange it for military authority. It la a kial of rule whioh a civilized people will eon- sent to aooept as a relief from anarchy, and a government must be nearly aa intolerable aa anarchy itself whioh reconciles its victim* to snch a snbstitntc, especially if they have been trained in free institution*. Dec raiTiNo the Goat**.—The Chieego Time* says that St. Louis set the reat of the oonntry an illustrious example of magnanimity by unit ing us population and deoorating the graves of both Federate and Confederates. It farther adds that the remnant of Mulligan's braves in that city also “showed their appreciation of * gallant to* by sainting the grave of a dead Confederate captain, and dropping flower* upon the sod whioh covered him.” Th«*e tiding* most b* peculiarly diaguating to the Grand Army of the llspabllc and the Secretary of War. Hpolten and Written Sermons. Much can be said In behalf of both of thaae methods of addressing a congregation from the sacred de.k. The extempore talk is doubtless the most effective, for as faoc answers to face in tbe mirror, so is there a magnetic sympathy between the oonntenanoe of the enlhnsed ora tor and his hearers. “Tb* thought* that breath* and words that barn,” are refleeted from tbe flashing eye, and changing visage of the man of God, who speaks aa a dying man to dying men. There la a positive pretence, and indescriba ble power in the eloquent utterances of a man who feels that every poise boats responsive to hfs own, and that he away* with the magician'* wand the will and senses of hla auditory. Bat thero are few who possess these gifts, and un less the speaker has been subjected to a long course St study, snd is familiar with the rules ot logfe, and has undergone severe mental training, there is imminent danger of his re sorting to empty platitudes, snd pet tropes and phrases are reproduced in every-disconrse. And this fsnlt even creeps into the sermons of great revivaliste. The writer remembers hearing the celebrated Daniel Baker preach a series of ser mons, in every one of whioh several striking snd telling sentences appeared. Insensibly, the ideas of an extemporiaer fall into certain grooves, from whioh it is almost impossible to detach them. On ths other hand, he who writes and reads Ms discourses Is in great danger of being too prosaic, and falling into a monotonous mode of delivery. The temptation to pedantry snd pare polemic* 1* also very greet, and too often pro fane history Is ransacked to Illustrate anargn meat, or oharm the senses of the worldly portion of tbe auditory. Verily these men have their reward, bat this i* not preaching the religion of Jeans in its almplicty. At a general rale, it would bo well for all yonng ministers to write at least half of their discourses, unit I the mind becomes schooled and disciplined, and they are enabled to oonflne themselves to the subject under consideration. Nothing is more disgnsting than to see a divine announce his text, and then begin to bsat the bash and canvass creation for something to say. These remind ns of a oertain old low-conntry brother, who always fitted tha same sermon to every text, beginning st the creation, and tell ing all he knew about the Bible, from Geneeis to Bevels tions. Those ministers like Mallard, Stiles, Palmer, and others, who preach learned and anslytieal sermons without notes, will tell yon that the preparation of theBe Is infinitely more difficult than mere written compositions. Indeed, the first mentioned of the individuals cited, onoe said, that eveiy word and sentence of his sermon was digested and elaborately Iymned forth in his mind before delivery. Con sider the amount of study necessary to attain to this wonderinl method and precision of thought, whioh praotioslly dispenses with the pen, whilst retaining its elaborate conceptions, happily blended with the fire and vigor of tho extem poraneous orator. Some divines gifted with good memories, write, and then commit their sermons. This is better than reading them. The experienoe of tho past few yean, would seem to indioate that tbe people are growing restive and im patient under the proay infliotlons of ministers, who pnt them to sleep with their hnm-drnm recitations. The question to be considered by every ooonpant of the pnipit, is, how esn I best reach the hearts and consciences of my oharge. If he be alow of speech, though learned in tha sohoola of the prophets, by all means let him w rite, and give “beaten oil" to his flick, in preference to breaking down in any attempt to teaoh them from the Inspiration of the moment. Bat almost any man who it a faithful student cun learn to speak extemporaneously. Let him become master of his subjeot, and the ideas whleh are mirrored upon the sonl will find ex pression. The thoughts body themselves forth, In words perhaps ill-choson at first, and not euphonious, bnt they will oonvey the meaning of tbe speaker, and truth is mighty to prevaiL Let no minister, then, be disoonraged, bnt per severe in his endeavors to approaoh his people as the messenger direct from his Heavenly Heater, who oan talk with them face to faea as it were, and not throngh the labored medium of a written manuseript. Some of the most elo quent and fluent of our divines began the min istry ntterly inoapablo to say five words without their notes. In conclusion, we have only to say, whether preaching with or without notes, avoid prolixity, and when the text is exhausted let it Hone. Few men are able to enlist the at tention of an anditory more than forty minutes. And remember it is tbe yawners and tha care less who most need yonr ministrations. Newspaper Borrowing. Some people, in order to save three cents a dsy, whioh a newspaper of their own would cost them, are content to make themselves a nuisance to their neighbors, and send every morning to borrow the newspaper. Unless they are very careful to employ on this errand some body whose time Is worth nothing or costs noth ing, they Bpand as muoh on these errands as the newspiper would coat, and than get it at second hand, after their neighbors are in possession of the news; or, having it at suoh times only as they oan get it, cannot choose tbe best oppor tunity to read it, and moat therefore be sup posed to waste a good deal more than its cost in this way. A good newspaper it ot almost inestimable benefit to a family. It excites the attention and cariosity of the yonng, as well S3 older peo ple, in the passing history of tha world, and leads to tho acquirement of that varied infor mation whioh makes the intelligent and inter esting man snd woman- All this tho newspa per borrower, in great part, sacrifices, in order that ha may save three cents a dsy at the dis quiet of his neighbor. At the present lime, when tho daily newspa per brings to your breakfast table the entire world events of the day before, bearing in its folds tho labors of handreds, nsy, 3 thousand or more news collectors in every portion of the habitable globe, no man of any considerable Intelligence above the brnte is williDg to be al together without the newspaper, and yet there are many—very many—who, on one pretense or another, are oontent to spnnge on others for their newspaper reading! Such will never be so much ashamed of this habit, and never real ize to what an extent it defrauds themselves, aa well as annoys more liberal neighbors, than when they come to take a newspaper of their own. Try it. < [ Another “Straight Out” FroTltf ed For Hajor Elias Griswold, of Baltimore, who was the Confederate Provost Marshal at Richmond during the late civil war, has just been ap pointed special agent of the poet office depart- say. ment at a salary cf $1600 per year and #3 a day for traveling expenses. There is nothing for him to do particularly; bnt that is a small mat ter oompared with providing for a repenting gincer. Griswold is now a Demoerasie mem ber tf the Maryland Legislature, and during the lmt Congressional canvass in that State was such a pure and steadfast Democrat that he oould not vote f*r Greeley and ran against Hon. Thomas Swann, the regular Democratic nominee, being supported by the Badicata of the district with great zeal and unanimity. Thai one by one do those high-strung patri ots who, last year, vaunted themselves so much better and truer Democrats than their brethren, plump themselves into the sheltering arms of Grant, and demonstrate tha milk in the cocoa- nut ot their holy horror of npporting the nom inees ot their party. There are others coming, Father Hiram, so bold yourself in readiness to reoeive them. If they are not, then *11 signs will fail. XHr report of the third Cincinnati Indus trial Exposition, 1872, ahows the total attend ance to bar* bean 612,523.

Ware, one of the oldest and most esteemed citizen* of Athens, died on Tues day, aged C9 years. He was one of the original stockholders, and for many years one of the directors of the Georgia railway. There have been seven marrisgeg in Colum bus since last Thursday week, and the cry is more to come. And yet the papers over there are talking about hard times. The death of Hr. Vu. Glover, one of the oldest citizens of Augusts, is announced as hav ing taken place on Wednesday night. He was eighty years of age. The Columbus Sun ot Friday afternoon, pub lishes this statement of a decision in a case of considerable interest: Yeaterdiy morning, st the opening of the Su perior Court, was heard the petition and motion made by C. H. Williams, E>q , requiring John King to pay into Court the sum of five thousand one tuudred and twenty-fire dollars, the amount he received from th* Court as its receiver. Tho money claimed is the proceeds arising from the sale of the Empire Ootton Seed Haller snd Oil Company, which failed here about a year ago, and was sold under several attachments. After the sale, and when the sheriff brought the mon ey into Gonrt for distribution, the distribution was objected to by several of the creditors. It being a large sum, by consent of all parties, the the court ordered the sheriff to deposit the same with John King, who agreed to take it, hold it snbject to the order of Court, and pay for it seven per cent interest. The receipt gi7en by Mr. E:og is in sccoidruce with the above. Mrs. M. 6. Smith, one of the claimants of tbe fund, by her attorney, Charles EL Williams, E q., petitioned tbe Court to order the fund to be brought Into Court, as Mr. King had sus pended and made an assignment. John Pea cock, Esq., representing Mr. King, claimed that he received the money as a loan from the Court, and was on the same footing with other creditors. Hr. Williams argued that Hr. King held tbe money as receiver of the Court, and therefore subject to the order of the Oonrt. After hearing all the faots, Judge Johnson granted an order requiring Ur. King to pay the money into Court, to the Clerk, on or before Monday, the 9:h inst., snd in default, to show cause why he should not be attached for con tempt. The order was taken, and will be served on Hr. King. It seems there is no desire to harm Hr. King personally, bnt this was the only way in which to bring the matter before ths Oonrt, to determine whether Hr. King abonld have held the money for the Oonrt or put it in the general fond that he assigned, when ha suspended. It is thought the assignees will ap- peal to the Supreme Court. Atujtta is to have her houses numbered and William Bradberry is to do the job, having pro posed to lake the oontract at $720. The Atlanta Herald, of yesterday, has the following item. We have heard nothing of the matter. It says: riiiAXD-rox is Twiooi County.—We learn that there ate soma thirty esses of small-pox In Twiggs connty, and that several deaths have already occurred. It is among the oolored peo ple in the thickly settled neighborhoods, and the local authorities have thus far been nnable to prevent tbe spread of the disease. The care snd management of the small-pox patients are left by tbe laws to the local anthority, and the county has to foot the oxpenae. The spread of the dtaesse, therefore, makes it a serious thing to tbe oonnty of Twiggs. The pastors of the Presbyterian and Meth odist churches, st Auguste, have commenced a series of prayer-meetings at 8t30 every morn ing, and the Chronicle and Sentinel says the attendance is daily Increasing. Ms. Junes L. Evans, a lieutenant in the Biohmond Hussars of Augusta, died Thursday afternoon of typhoid fever. State ahd Mukicipai, Taxes.—Under this head the Chroniole and Sentinel, of Friday, says : In our looal columns this morning we pnbliBh the decisions rendered by Jadge Gibson in the oases of B. S. Duabsr vs. tbe City Connoil of Augusta, and E. B. Schneider, et at., vs. the tax oollector of Bichmond county. In both oases an importantiojunction has been granted, restraining the farther oollootion of the taxes imposed. In the first case it is decided that the City Connoil can only tax the bonds issued by the State of Georgia and the Georgia Bail- road and Banking Company, and that it has no anthority to tax the obligations of non-resi dent parties or corporations. The lioense tax npon malt and fermented liqnors is declared il legal, upon the ground that it violates the State Constitution, which d 'dares that taxation shall be uniform and ad valorem only npon all spe cies of property taxed. The correctness of the decision will be generally conceded. The tax was harsh, onerous and noj oat, and one which we do not believe the Legislature had the right to impose. When tbe law was published we called attention to its unequal and oppressive na- tare, and snggasted to me Governor that ho should order a suspension of the collection of the tax nntil tbe next meeting of the Legisla ture. We are glad that Judge Gibson has stayed the hand of the collector, oonvinced as we are that his decision is eminently right and proper. VtTT.ow Fives oir the Georgia Coast.— A letter from St. Mary’s to the Savannah News, dated June 31, ssyi: Oa Friday, the large bark Aud, from Havana, bound to somo English port, appeared off St. Mary’s bar and displayed ths signal of distress. Tho Fernandina pilots hoarded her, and found that out of a crew of thirteen, eight had died of yellow fever, and the only officer alive was the seoond mate. Tho physician of Fernandina boarded her, aud is attending tbe sick. The fever must havo been of a very malignant type. She had been st sea ten days. At the last monthly sales in Harris county lands were almost given away. One tract of twenty-five acres sold for $15; one of one-hnn- dred and sixteen acres for $100; one of three hundred and eighty-three acres for $500; and one of nine hundred and ninety-eight acres for $1,780. An effioe and lot in Hamilton 20x50 feet, sold for $30. We find these items in the last Bainbridge Democrat: The Cotton OmasiLLiB.—Alroady has this destroyer of “King Ootton” commenced his depredations in Decatur connty. Mr. George W. DickinBon, reports the fall grown article in any quantity on his plantation near this oity. There is no donbt, in onr mind, bnt that the caterpillar is a permanent institution in this country, and ootton prodnoers should always make their calculations accordingly. Bsutaxjtx.—It is seldom that cases like the following happen in this portion of onr country. We do not like to refer to snch degraded freaks of human nature, and only do so in the hope that it ms; tend to prevent other similar out rages. A farmer, who lives near this city, named Smith, went home in an ox wagon a few evenings sinoe, snd it is said under the infin- ence of liqnor. Th* oxen became nnrnly, it seems, which greatly offended the brave snd daring Smith. - Upon arriving at home he un yoked them from his wagon, pnt them in the lot, and then deliberately went into the honse, loaded his gun, returned to the lot, and dis charged both barrels into the faoe of tbe most nnrnly steer, tearing an eye and otherwise mu tilating the poor brute. We believe the last Legislature passed a law preventing cruelty to animals, and we hope to see it enforce d. We recommend Smith's case to the Grand Jury. We give this brnte the full benefit of onr large circulation free of oharge; and wa would give fifty dollars to be on the jnry that ought, and we hope will, try hla case. A bard eagre was shot and killed in Heard oonnty one dsy last week. It measured six feet from tip to tip. Tbe disloyl wretch who did the deed has not yet been arrested, we grieve to W. B. Dxsxis, one of th* first settlers of Coweta oonnty, died last Tuesday, sged 72 years. Mas. Gin. Joseph E_ Johnston has presented the “Johnston Light Infantry” of Savannah with a msgnifloent flig. The ceremonies took place on Thursday night, Gen. J. representing Uig wife and sending a handsome letter, after which the usual jamboree with pouch trim mings took place. Heavt Verdict Against a Kailboad.—The Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday, says: We learn that on Thursday Ber. Jesse Bor ing obtained a verdict at Opelika, Ala., in a sait for damages against the Montgomery and West Point Railroad for $10,000. It will be recollected that Rev. Dr. Boring was maimed for life at Opelika while getting off the cars st that point. Onr readers will remember that in December, 1871, the Doctor started to Atlanta from Columbus, and at Opelika, in stepping from a standing car, fell into an eight-foot ditch, which was dog across the track. After speeches by G. N. Lester for the plaintiff, N. J. Ham mond for the railroad, and the closing argu ment for the plaintiff by B. H. Hill, the jury retired and returned a verdict for the Doctor of «10 000. The LaGrange Reporter says the trial of this case took place there, and states that Dr. Bor ing claimed $30,000 damages. Th* Albany New* has this item: A Casx or AcaDEOU- Poibosin5—Cbuosal Mistake.—On Wednesday, the 25th, Hr. John Collins, a traveling photographist in Worth oonnty, invited Capt. J. M. O. Holaman to take a glass of brandy with him, and set ont a bot tle supposed to contain brandy, and Capt. Hoi- aman swallowed an or d;narv drink cf it. He in Btently felt terrible sensations, snd cried ont, “Yon have killed me.” Collins bad set before him a bottle of chemicals used in the prepare tion of hla plates, and Holaman was poisoned. Dra. Crockett and Tyson were colled in as soon as possible, and with the aid of a stomach pomp and proper antidotes partially relieved the on fortunate victim. It is thought he may recov er, although his throat, stomach and bowels were bnrnt to a crisp. Sats the Sandersville Herald: In this issue we publish snch part of the pro ceedings of the late Press Convention as em braces the remarks and revolutions in favor of a National Press Association, which onr Mr. Rodgers submitted to that body, and which were unanimously adopted by the Association. In aocordance with the first resolntion, the President appointed a committee as follows Robert L. Rodgers, Evq, of the Sandersville Herald; Col. O. W Styles, of the Albany News Ool. C. W. Hancock, of tbe Sumter Republican Col. T. M- Peeples of tbe Lxwrenoevtlle Her ald; and Mr. J B. Reese, of the Eatonton Messenger. Mr. Rodgers, in behalf of the com mittee, requests all oar brethren of the Georgia Press to give Bnch aid through their column* as may seem best tat promote tbe objeot mentioned, snd Beenro tbe co-operation ot journalists of other Stater. The committee will soon com- menoe a general correspondence with journal ists throughout the Union, and hope to be able to carry ont the object contemplated in the res olutions. A Hioh Old Lqtl trrLunoz on the Fourth or July.—Tbe Savannah Advertiser and Re- pnbliean is reliably informed “that the oolored troops contemplate celebrating the Fourth of July in a grand and glorions style. Resides the companies already organized and equipped in Savannah, companies from Charleston, Port Royal, Aognste and Macon have been invited, and, we learn, will be here. In all, it is asserted, (hat there will be as many as fourteen compa nies of colored troops in onr oity on that day, and that they intend paradittg throngh onr streets and oelebrating tbe ninety-seventh anni versary of tbe independence of tho United Bute* in a stupendous style. In this connec tion we further state that we are informed that an artillery company has been organized in onr city and a petition sent on to Washington for a battery, of bow many gnns we are not advised, bnt tbe petition has been reoeived and a favor able reply xetnrned. The gnns will bo Bent for ward in a shoit time.” The Kitchen.—Under this head the new edi tor and proprietor of tho Colnmbns Enquirer, who has lately emancipated himself from tho rnle of the Philadelphia Bridgets snd passed under the yoke of tho colored ladies and gentle men who condescend to wait on white folks In Colnmbns, gives his impressions cf the latter as follows: We left that city (Philadelphia) and the pangs lessened as we pictured to oarselves the courte ous attendants who would cook onr hash, nurse the little one, and keep onr dads in a presenta ble state ot cleanliness in Colnmbns. We set tled down and went to housekeeping, and then looked aronnd for the trained servants. One oalled; she was very desirable, for she had a decided impediment in her spoeob, and when she spoke >-he hnng her head with becoming modesty. She was married and bad only one child—she said. We engaged her, and she came —bnt there were foar ohtldren at her skirts, and when we gently reproved her for tho impo sition, she got the nse of her tongne for a mo ment, and told ns in her modest way that three of them were so small that they ongbt not to oonnL' We looked at them and for tbe moment wete oonvinced. So we hired a cook and felt the joy of a philanthropist in onr hearts at the prospect of supporting on onr own hook a col ored home for fatherless Ethiopian juveniles. All went well for a week, and we were becom ing placid and satisfied, bnt suddenly onr dream of bliss was diBtnrbed, as onr rest bad freqaently been by impromptu concerts in the back yard— the cook had Btrnck. She was not decided as to |her cause, bnt among the things whioh her heart yearned for was an increase of com pensation. Then we lo9t onr temper and with sad hearts said: “Lucinda Ann, let ns part." And we parted. A boy oalled. He was very much—very much of a man, for he chewed tobaoco and asserted his rights of citi zenship by rnshing into onr presence with his hat on. He had no qualifications; he wished to be a general utility man, bnt we assured him we oould not afford the luxury of his company. A girl, whose hair had been curiously distorted from its line of cbrocio spirality, announced herself as “Miss Florence Fitz Warren—and my ’ma will allow me to aid you daring vacation.” She looked like the daughter of the monarch of Dahomey, and wo assured Miss Florence Fiiz Warren that we were grateful to her distin guished parent for the opportunity she gave the world to associate with her accomplished daughter, but that wo were too poor to afford tho luxury, and the Fitz Warren swept ont like a bird on the odoriferous air- Wo in terviewed others, and at last arrived at the conclusion that Bridget and Hannah are among the lost jewels of onr domestto crown. Here, where they once had good servants, and where they still should be, we find the onrse of house keeping is the want of good, reliable attend ants. The cause may be found in tho changed condition of the black people; bnt they are standing In their own light. If they cannot he made to seo the necessity for fidelity in every thing they undertake, reliable labor will gradu ally come in, and before it the position of the colored people will be quickly changed, and not for the better. We hope they may,see it in this light. DAT DISPATCHES. Foret an Items. Washington, June 7.—Seven cases cf cholera are reported inDanlzegor, Prussia. The Spanish Cortes will choose a new minis try. Deputy Blanc proposed that, after a de claration of the republic, the delegates place themselves at the bead of the volunteers of the respective provinces and unite in a grand effort against the Cartists. Tire |n Toledo. A fire broke ont in Toledo to-day which re sulted in the destruction of property to the amonnt of a quarter of a million dollars. From the Mottoes—Wbat Captain Jack Has to Nay. No operations have taken place aronnd the lava beds since Captain Jack’s surrender. Jack says he surrendered because he contd hold ont no longer. The opinion prevails that General Davis will shoot Captain Jack, Boston Charley and Schonchin, without waiting for any sugges tion from the civil authorities. A correspondent of tho Bulletin had a talk with Boston Charley who said the majority of the captives were prepared to die like men. Captain Jack careo for nothing. He does not speak to any person except his sister Mary. Charley says twelve Hodocs are still at large. Col. Green's command are still huntfng for it sm. A dispatch from Bay Point, June 4, says Glru. Davis’ command, with all the captive, were at Applegate’s honse, and were to come to Boyle’s oamp that day. -Hooker Jim and Steamboat Frank are hnnting after the missing warriors and eqnaws in that vicinity. Sleepy Tcm has jnst come from an island in little Klamath lake, with Teohe Jack’s squaw and three children. Death of the Oldest Printer. Hon. John Prentiss, the oldest printer and publisher in the country, died at Keen*, New Hampshire, aged 90. He established the New Hampshire Bentinel in 1797, and oonduoted it 49 years. Victoria Woodhnlt is nnoonsolous from heart disease. No hope of her reoovery. Another man ha3 been arrested for kicking bis wife to death—a common bnt objectionable practice. Spanish Jackals. An Havana letter states that the Spanish vol unteer officers, after captnring the dead body of tne Caban General Agramonte, filled it with kerosene and bnrned it to asheB, preserving the ashes in two vases, which now adorn the Presi dent’s room in tbe Casino of Puerto Principe, It Is stated that an Amerioan named Reeve has been appointed successor of Agramonte in command of the Cuban forces and the most energetio warfare will be continued against the Spaniards. The Steamship Cromwell. The missing steamer George Cromwell is still tho object of Boltoitnde in this city. The agent here denies the truth of the report that the Cromwell bad on board a large quantity of ammunition; he says she had none whatever among her cargo. Her fate will probably be determined by to morrow, when tho steamer Washington, following in tho track of the Crom well will arrivo at New Orleans. Captain Jack’s Gallows. Boyle's Oaiip, Jane 5, 9 a. st —Late yester day afternoon a detail of men belonging to the artillery arrived in oamp from Timber Mountain on the Peninsula with twenty janiper logs, clean and straight, and evidently not intended for nse in the erection of tents for prisoners. Many persons marvelled for what purpose the timbers had been obtained. This morning the secret is ont. Gen. Davis intends to ereot a sci-ffjld and exscute about one dc-zen of the worst murderers in the tribe at snnset to-mor- >w. He feels that there is no need for delay, as no donbt of thognilt of intended victims can exist, and jostice demands a speedy and certain action. Even at this time, he is now writing a state ment of their offenses which will be read to the oondemned Modocs. A still later dispatoh says Gen. Davis, after having oompleted alt the arrangements for the exeentton of the Modoos, reoeived orders from Washington to hold the prisoners nntil farther advised.

The reports of cholera in the West excito some degree of solicitude, bnt we believe it has nowhere assumed as yet the form of an ep- idemio. The Louisville Courier-Journal, of Thursday, says: Dispatches from Memphis announce that cholera is in that city, being confined chiefly so far to the laboring classes. Working in tho hot sun and becoming overheated, eating freely of nnripe fruits and vegetables, and drinking alco- holio liqnors and ice-water to excess, and sleep ing In rooms poisoned with foal air, greatly fa cilitate the spread of the insidious disease, and supply it with nearly all of its victims. The pbysioians of Memphis say that the disease is of a mild type and yields readily to medical treatment if attended to in time. There is very little excitement about it at present, and we trast that timely precaution, temperate living, and the thorough pnnflcation of tho city will enable Memphis to pass throngh the snmmer withont any nnnsnal mortality. In regard to onr city, we have only to reiter. ato what has already been said in onr oolnmns. Let the work of cleaning the foul localities whioh engender disease go cn actively. Drink and eat with temperance, sleep in well-venti lated rooms, avoid over-exertion and exposnre of all kinds, and remember that a glass of ice water taken suddenly into an overheated body has often proved as fatal a3 a dose of strych nine. The health of the oity is at thia time ex cellent, and wa trast that neither neglect nor excesses of any sort may render it otherwise daring the het season. Tbe Memphis Avalanche of the same date, contains no allnsion to the disease in that city, nor is there anything indicating the existence of any nnnsnal public ailment, or apprehension, unless it may be proceedings of the Oity Coun cil In relation to a health ordinance. The Nashville Binner of Friday has the fol lowing : No Cholzba in Nashville.—In consequence of tbe oholera rumors which have beeen floating about tbe city for two days past, a meeting was held at Dr. Atchison’a office last night, which was attended by all the leading physicians in Nashville. A comparing of notes wa3 had and a lengthy discussion held, the resnlt being that the doctors disclaim the presence of real cholera in Nashville, although there have been a num ber of serious cases of cholera-morbus within the past week. Louisville, as we have already seen in the ar ticle quoted from the Journal,' claims to be in exoellent sanitary condition. Up to the present writing we have no later telegrams from Mem phis than the dispatch of the 4th, published next day. Ai.mii Coal on the Guu.—Last night, says the Montgomery Advertiser, fifteen cars loaded with Alabama coal passed throngh this city from ths mines for New Orleans. This, we learn, is bnt the beginning of what is des tined to be a large and profitable business. Heretofore the city of New Orleans has been supplied with Pennsylvania coal bronght on barges from Pittsburg. Since onr mines can compete with those of Pennsylvania in price, and can give better satisfaction as to quality, it i* probable that many dealers who have here tofore ignored the home product will now make contracts with Alabama miners, and for the re mainder of the summer the cars of the Mont gomery and Mobile road will be employed more or lees in carrying coal to the Gall cities. In time the Mexican Gulf fleet will nse Alabama C /^i exclusively, and large shipments to foreign countries within the next few months is among tbe strong probabilities. BY TELEGRAPH. Post Office Appointments. Washington, June 7.—Tho following special po3t office appointments were made to-day: H. Olay Bagley, of Virginia, and Peter G. Clark, of Alabama. Wbat Slinll bo Dono With tbe Modocs? The following is the opinion of the Attorney General on the question submitted by the War Department relative to tho captured Modoos: Department or Justice, June 7,1873. To the President: Sts—I have the honor to acknowledge the re ceipt from yon of several papers relative to the Modoo Indians, now in custody of the United States army, with a request for my opinion as to the anthority to try certain of the prisoners, by a military tribunal. The main facts, ont of which the question ari ses, are these: In 18S4 the United State3 made a treaty with these Indians, by the terms of whioh they were to go and remain npon a reservation in the State of Oregon. Late last fall, the Indians being away from their reservation, a military detachment was sent to foroe their return. Finding them unwilling to go peaceably, the officer indioated his determination to nse com pulsion, in consequence of whioh a conflict on- sued between the United Btates troops and the Indiana. Soon after several peaceable oitizens and their families in the vicinity were murdered by Indians in this band. They then entrenohed themselves in the lava beds in the neighbor hood. Fighting ensued, and one or more severe bat tles, in which personson both sides were wound ed and kitted, and the United States troops re pulsed. Pending hostilities, negotiations were opened for peace, and on the.lSth of April last Gen. Canby, R8V. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Meach- am, at apo:nt between the opposing forces, and in purauanoe of a mutual agreement to that end, met Captain Jack, tha leader of the Indians, with some of his ohief warriors, to discuss tho terms of a treaty; and, while so engaged, Gen. Canby and Mr. Thomas were treaoherously as sassinated, and Mr. Meacham severely wounded by the Indians present npon that occasion. Battles followed, and Captain Jaok and all or most of hiB tribe have been captured and are nowin the hands of the military authorities. General Sherman, in a communication to the Secretary of War, dated the 3d Instant, reoom- mends that each of these Indians as have vio lated military law, be tried by a military tri bunal. Thia recommendation is approved by the Secretary of War. Instructions were prepared in 18C3 by Fran cis Lieber, L. L. D. t revised by a board of offi cers, of which Gen. A. P. Hitokoock was Pres ident, and after approval by the President of the United States, were published for the gov ernment of the army of the United States in the field. Section thirteen of these instructions is as follows: Military jurisdiction is of two kinds. First, that which is conferred and defined by the statute. Second, that which is derived from the common law of war. Military offenses, tin der the statute law, must be tried in the man ner therein directed; but military offenses which do not came within the statnte, most be tried and punished nnder the common law of war. The character of tho courts which exer cise these jurisdictions, depends npon the trial Iaw3 of each particular country. In the armies of the United States the first is exercised by court-martial, while cases which do not come within the rales and articles of war, or the ju risdiction conferred by the statnte on courts- martial, are tried by military commissions. All the anthoritibs, which I have been able to examine npon this subject, harmonize with these instructions. According to the laws of war (here is nothing more sacred thRn a flag of truce, dispatched in good faith, and there can be no greater act of peifidy and treachery than the assassination of its bearers, after they have been acknowledged and received by those to whom they have been sent. No statute _of the United States makes this set a crime, and,'there fore, it is not ponishable nnder the rules and articles of war'; and, if punishable at all, must be throngh a power derived from the usages of war. Kindred to the act in question, in bad faith, is the breaking of his parole by a paroled pris oner. 'While the United States was at war with Mexico, several officers of the Mexican army ware tried by a military commission, composed of officers of the United States army, convicted and sentenced to be shot and executed for breaking their paroles. Nnmerons trials of a similar nature took place dnring the war of the rebellion; bnt there are no statutory provisions whatever npon the subject, and the whole power of the military authorities, in snch esses, is de rived from the nssges of war. Oa the 231 of August, 1805, a military com mission, duly appointed, assembled in the City of Washington, for the trial of Henry Witz, who pleaded, among other things, that the mil itary commission had no j orisdietion over either his person, or over the subject matter of the charges and specifications, it being a tribunal unauthorized by either statnte, military law, martial law, or well established usage; bnt this plea was overruled and he was convicted npon several charges, one of which was murder, in violation of the law and customs of war, and, after sentence, be was hong for his crimes. All the proceedings in this case derive their author ity and validity from the common law of war. Certain persons, it will be remembered, were tried snd convicted in the same wsy for the as sassination of President Lincoln. Attorney General Speed, in discussing this snbjeot, said We have seen that when war comes the lasts and usages of war come; also, that dnring tbe war they are a part of the laws of the land. Under the Constitution Congress may define and punish cfl’enses against those laws, but, in defanlt of Congress defining these laws and prescribing a punishment for their infraction and the mede of proceeding to ascertain whether an offense has been committed, and what pun ishment is to be inflicted, the army most be governed by the laws and usages of war ss nn derstood and practiced by the civilized nations ot the world. Again, if the prisoner be a regular unoffend ing soldier of the opposite party to the war, ho Bhonld be treated with all the courtesy and kindness consistent with his safe enstody. If he has offended against tho laws of war, he should have snch trial and be punished as the laws of war require. A spy, though a prisoner of war, may be tried, condtmned and executed by a military tribunal withont a breach of the Con stitution. A bushwhacker, a jayhawker, i bandit, a war rebel aud assassin, being public enemies, may be tried, condemned and executed as offenders against the laws of war. The law of nations, which is the result of the experienoe and wisdom of ages, has decided that jayhawkers, bandits, and Boforth are offenders against the laws of nations and of war, and, aa each, are amenable to tho military. Oar Constitution has made these laws a part of the laws of the land. [See also Valtel, 339; IVheatin’a International Law, 40G; Woolsey’s International Law, 220; Halleck’s Interna tional Law, 400 ] Milligan’s case holds,under tho circnmstanoes therein stated, a military commission to bo ille gal, bnt the faots there are entirely differ ent from those nnder consideration. Mil ligan was the resident of a State not in rebel lion. The courts were open and unobstructed, for his prosecution. He was neither a prisoner of war nor attached, in any way, to the milita ry or naval service of the United States. According to the instructions heretofore re ferred to, no civil tribnnal has jurisdiction in the oase disclosed by tbe papers before me. Seetions 4(1 and 41 thereof are as fallows: Forty—“ There exists no law or body of au thoritative rules of action between hostile ar mies, except that branch of the law of nature and nations, whioh ia oalled the law and usages of war on land.” Forty-one—“All municipal law of the ground on whioh the armies stand, or of the countries to which they belong, is silent and of no effect between armies on the field.” Manifestly, these rules, to a great extent, if not altogether, are oorroct: first, it caDnot be pretended that a United States soldier is guilty of murder if he kills a publio enemy in battle, which wonld be tho case if the municipal law was in foroe and applicable to an act committed nnder suoh oircnmstances. All the laws and customs of oivil zid warfare may not be applicable to an armed conflict with the Indian tribes npon our western frontier; but the circumstances attending tho assassina tion of Canby and Thomas are Hueh as to make their ninrdor as much a violation of tho laws of savages as of oivilized warfare, and the Indians concerned in it folly understood the baseness and treachery of their act. It is difficult to de fine, exaotly, the relations of the Indian tribes to the United States ; bnt, as they have been reoognized as independent communities fer treaty-making purposes, and as thoy frequently carry on organized and protracted ward, they may properly be, as it seems to me, held snb jeot to those rules of warfare whioh make a ne gotiation for peace,after hostilities, possible, and which make perfidy, like that in question, pan* lshable by military anthority. Doubtless, the war with the Modocs is praoli- cally ended, unless some of them shonld escape and renew hostilities. Bat it is the right of the United States, as there is no agreement for peace, to determine for themselves whether or not anything more ought to be done for the pro tection of the oonntry, or the punishment of crimes growing ont of the war. Section 59 ot said instructions is as follows: A prisoner of war remains answorable for his crimes committed before he was captured, and for whioh he has not been punished by bis own authorities. My oonolnsion, therefore, is, that a military commission may be appointed to try snch of the Modoo Indians in enstody as are charged with offences against the reccgnized laws of war, aud that if, npon snch triul, any are fonnd guilty, they may be subjected to such punishment as those laws require or justify. Very respectfully, yours, Geo, H. Williams, At’y Gen’L The Pacific Mall. New Yobe, J one 7.—Tho official statement of the Decide mail shows the gross receipts of the year to be nearly $6,000,000 and expensea nearly $5,000,000. Daring the year they lost three steamors valued at over $1,500,000, and own thirty-fonr steamers. Their assets in coal and vessels are enormous. The Georso Cromwell. It has been learned that the steamer George Cromwell broke her connecting rod, and demol ished a cylinder of the main engine, besides doing other damage to her machinery, and on the 25.h anchored in smooth water at Abaco. The Georee Cromwell Safe. Hex West, Jane 7.-—Intelligence of the safety of the steamer George Cromwell, from New York for New Orleans, whose non-arrival at the latter port has canBed so mnch anxiety, reached here to-day. Her engines broke down daring the voyage and she made for Abaco, in tho Ba hamas, where she now remains in Bafe anchor age. All on board are well. Another New steamer lutauelied. Philadelphia, June 7.—The steamship Illi nois, of tho American and Liverpool line, was lannohed at It o’clock to-day in magnificent style. The river was crowded with steamers filled with spectators, while the wharves in tho vicinity were lined with a countless multitude. Four steamers of thi3 lino are now afloat and two will bs dispatched for Europe in Jnly. Tho Homoepntblsta Make n Demand.

Boyle's Camp, Jane 4.—“I had an interview with Captain Jack throngh the medium of an interpreter. At first he was reticent, in fact, he did not even notice me. Finally his si3ter Mary prevailed on him to talk. His first re mark was in relation to his shackles. He said it made him feel mean to be hobbled like a horse. Be was not afraid to die, and had no idea of running away. As he spoke his eyes snapped and he looked a very lion in rage. All questions pertaining to his fighting he de clined to answer. When I asked him his age, be gave me to understand that he was 36, and he then vio lently started npon the statement of his griev ances of those of his people. With reference to the Ben Wright affray he said that white men murdered his people years ago, and that what he had done was only in payment of old debts. He did not enter into details, bnt left the inter preter (Soarfaced Charlie) to patch np a story. “Critical Btndy of Jack’s face corroborates the impression denied at first sight that be ia a thorongh Indian. “His head is large, quite square and sets firm ly on his shoulders. His eyes are black and bright and hia faoe broad, with prominent cheek bones. Hia nose ia symmetrical and slightly aquiline. His lips are thin and dear eat and, compared with his chin, indicate that resoluteness of purpose that has won him such notoriety. His complexion is dark and his face has a pleasant look. Take him all in ail, he ia a striking man. Place him among thousands, and he wonld be taken for a chief by any ob serving stranger. Those who have seen him do not wonder that he ia leader of the Modocs. ^ Though in ohaina and on the brink of eternity, he ia yet feared and respected by the Indians about him. “His nearest eompanion'in chains,Schonchin. is aboHt fifty years of age, is wrinkled and has villain depicted in every line of his faoe. He wears his hair ahort and stands about five feet in his moccasins. “Boston Charley is about 25 years old. His face is expressionless^ “Jack would attempt to escape if he had chance, even at the risk of being shot down. Probably he never realized that his death was inevitable, until irons wore placed on his feet. “Scarfaoed Charley says Jack told him he oonld get clear when the white men were asleep. This was before the irons were brought into nBe. “General Davis is satisfied that Captain Jaok did try to escape last night, and throngh the aid of confederates on the ontside, for npon ex amination of his shackles this morning, it was fonnd that one rivet had been filed nearly in two. His legs only are confined. j At 4 o’clock this afternoon Col. Mason ar rived licto f.-cm Fairfield's lUnche with the in fantry force of the expedition and the seventy Modocs who canto in there. Thus we have hero 123 captives.” Move Modocs Capinred. June 4, midnight.—News has reached here that Hooker Jim and Steamboat Frank made a successful scout yesterday, by co-operating with the Oregon volunteers. They trailed three war riors and five sqnaws to Timber Mountain, northeast of here, and assisted in making a cap ture. Ono of the captives is 11 lank Jim. He ia tho Modoo who bnllied the settlers In this re gion for two or three years and committed ornel murders. The Oregonians regard him with special hatred. Only fivo or six of the Modoo warriors are now missing. The Warm Spring Indians held a war dance this evening, which was witnessed by a large audience of officors and men.

The American minister interfered in behalf of two naturalized Irishmen, bnt President Lcrdo de Lijada refnsed to allow them to re main. The arrest of these priests ia considered clear indication of tbe unwillingness of tho President to protect tbe cbuch party. President Lerda has hitherto been considered as having a leaning in favor of tbe piiestB. Three sick foreigner priests were allowed to re- main temporarily, npon giving bail to leave the conntry immediately npon their recovery. The nnn3 found an asylum in private booses. Nearly all of them are very old. Caban 'Intelligence.
