UKC f view of Slate affairs. Its pnbiio debt Is

tsr MissoaH edilorf, at their lata conven-
haa formally resolved that a man has the same
illkt to walk Into a grocery store and order a
taml of soger or a asok of ooffee, or Into a

nbjset, end yet it is the true one.
Tn July Galaxy will oontain an article of
prat interest as a romlnlsoenoe of the past, by
Ikirtew Weed. Lafayette made his eeoond
suit lo this ooontry abont forty years after the
ekaa of the llevolntiontry War, in which he
hoi taken so gallant a part. He stood perhaps
celt lo Washington in the sffeetions of oar
pseple, and was received with a degree of a If60-
tke of which we can now hardly eonoeiva. A
brilliant company of onr moat distingniahed
ass accompanied him on his trip from New
Yak lo Albany, whioh ooonpied abont a week.
Kr. Weed end one other editor represented
the pieis of the country, nod this article is a
livid inscription of all that ooonrred.

Tn Nxsrs Bor Naval. Canrr, we are sorry to

poodcot writing from Annapolis annonnoes the
rr. after two trials, of O'Keefe, the news
hey naral cadet of New York, and Conyers, the
eiloced esdet from Sooth Carolina, to pass tha
necessary examination before tha board. They
bed both previously failed at tha examination
la February, and on the aeoond and more re-
eset trial, which had been given them in a
spirit of leniency, they again failed to oome np
to the mark. The result will bo that the board
*i0 recommend to the navy department at
Wsshlngton that they, with the other unsnooeas-
fal candidates, be dropped from the list of the
possible American “admirals” of the future.
TnSroxxs Oasx.—The New York Conrt of
Appeals were unanimous In their opinion grant-
log Stokea a new trial. There are two opin
ions written, one by the Governor, the other by
KsppaUo. The charge is held to bo erroneous
ea the point that the law presumes murder from
fee feet of killing, and oalls on the prisoner to
- ' ur justify. Aleo, there were errors in
ssclnding proof of threats by tha deoeassd to
kill the prisoner. Alto error la permitting Mrs.

Concerning the Empty Bur* Drawers.
_ De Boro of abandoned niggers and stolen
lands, according to tha War Department, goes
ont in a blsxa of glory, leaving at alma tot boun
ties to negro soldiers unpaid to the amount of
seven hnndred and thirty thousand dollars, for
hich we presume de buro held the fonds; be
side a large amount of debts claimed by and
credited lo them as paid which prove never to
have been paid at all.
The Department of War wants to know of the
Department of Justioe, whether the saintly O.
O. Howard can ba held responsible for this im
mense vacuum in de boro funds, absolutely cr
relatively! We should aay not—dteidtetty not/
Quite out of the question. A man of such
augolie pretension*—inch odorous sanctity—
■nob nasal eloquence—such uplifting of the
hands and upraising of the voloe in psalmody,
is not to be mixed np in these earthly matters
of mooty.
The bast way will be to eloaa de books ob de
boro—Jest shat 'am np, and consider it dosing
tbs accounts—and send them on to New York
and file them awsy with the acoonnta of the
‘Book Concern," and get the Bishop* to pray
over ’em.
Brother Howard la right. He knew that if
he paid over all that bounty money to the
darkies, they would have spent it in ainfni
pleasures long ago, and it was better to keep it
for 'em. There never wras a man born in
America so fond of the darkiaa as brother
Howard is. He love* every “indevidgle” hnn
dred dollars of 'em, like Squeers, so as nothing
con equal it, and he probably carries ont this
feeling by, retaining a keep-sake ont of the
pockets of every darkey he aver came across.
Talk of rttpomOiUily to him! Speak rather
of tcntibQity. Would you wring bis heart by
donbt? by distrust? by insisting on a cold, nn-
feeling balance sheet in respect nnto these sa
cred deposits of philanthropy and affeotlon?
Ia this the kind return to Howard ? Are these
the thanks we owe ?
The career of the “Freedman's Boro of aban
doned niggers,” has been unexampled. As an
Institution running entirely onttlde the Consti
tution, for the alleged benefit of ginger bread
oolored widows suddenly extemporiz'd by free
dom and the Federal army, we never heard of
any “national” organization to ba compared
with it, either for spending money, keeping
school, presehing, frolicking and mixing np
things generally. The New England suspicion
that slavery was a legalized system of concnbi.
nage, inspired all tha apostles and heralds of
freedom with a natural curiosity to solva their
doubts and mistrust on its rains, and they did
folly.
Consequently, de buro was the oddest con-
glomerate of inoonslatent facta and Incoherent
doings that mind of man ever oonoeived—that
the practloe of man ever pursued—or the laws
man ever established. But at the bottom of
was a solid snbstratnm of gain, if not godll-
ess. De buro was a mine of wealth, as well se
pleasure; and if the boro man neglected the
fan, it would be injastloe to suppose he ever
alighted the profits.
Thus, perhaps, while the United Slates gov-
ernment might have been the greatest snfferer,
and fnrniahed tha riohest and most exhanstlees
vsin in tha diggings, there were other plaoers
■hich turned ont abundant nuggets, large and
small. The “rebels” oould be bled by fine to
tbeir teat bidden dollar on oompiaint of any
nigger for “seas words,” or unadjusted claims,
and as de buro was oonrt as well as camp,
proceedings were summary—execution issued
two moments, and floes and ccsts poured in.
To interrupt a negro stealing yonr chickens in
those days was a matter of Are hundred dol
lars.
But if the whites were worked for de buro,
were the negroes. The nigger's mite was
never despised. AU helped along tho great
cause of “national regeneration,” and swelled
the glories and gains of de bnro.
At the head of this gorgeous ooncern—su
preme among niggers—terrible among whites—
drawing rivers of money from Washington and
rivulets from everybody—the embodiment of
civil and religions authority—Grand Fanjan-
dnmof school-room, kitohen, church, parlor,
and harem—the oeutre of all authority in all
matten from a “lass word" to the highest ques
tions of property, law or religion—Howard
stood forth resplendent—unapproachable—the
head alike of ohnroh and State—the grand em
bodiment of “an advanoed civilization.” Will
the War Department now bring down such a
man to the oold and belittling formality of a
balance sheet and squaring of accounts ? Shade
of the mighty Pecksniff, forbid it!
The Other Bide of the Question.
There ia much talk as to the method whioh
ahonld be panned, ia furnishing Captain Jack
and his braves with passports to the realms of
Flator. Borne advocate a military oonrt-martial,
others the civil oourta, and a few Oregonians
wish them hewn in pieces like Agsg of old, and
made food for the buzzards On one point there
la great unanimity of feeling. All concede
that they must and shall die. The old savage
and his olsn, meanwhile, are oonsoions only of
having fulfilled one of the most sacred duties
of Indian extstenoe—that of revenging the
blood of their slaughtered kindred. Chained
and manacled though they be, and occasionally
threatened with the tomahawk and scalping-
knife by old enemioa of their tribe, who are
permitted to taunt them In their misfortunes,
thee* dogged spirits retain their sublime indif
ference to death, and only gnash their teeth at
the clanking fetters whioh confine them.
Their doom is sealed; and as soon as a few
red-tape formalities have been oomplied with,
they will swing upon the gibbet as nertaln as
the earth oontlnnea Us revolutions around the
n-
Bnt what of the survivors of those who treach
erously slew without meroy, ao large a portion
of Oapb Jack's kindred a few years sinoe, under
a flag or trace, and situated precisely as was
Gen. Canby and his sssoolates.
The United States Government, daring the
late Modoc campaign, has simply been acting
ont and continuing the jams programme which
OapL Jack had previously Inaugurated. He
bnt repeated the treachery of bis white enemies,
end then waged a murderous war against them.
They, forgetful of their own example, pro
claimed the extermination of the remnant of
the Mod oca, and thousands of soldiers hemmed
In on every side tha fugitive wanderers, and
finally made captives of them. Now then, shell
not even handed justice be administered to the
red man as well as the white? This is the ques
tion whleh disinterested nations will ask, and
whioh some of onr own people alsd have tho
courage to propound.
The truth of the slaughter of the poor Modoo»
by a detachment of United States troops sev
eral yean sinoe, we have never seen called in
question. Let the authorities, then, ferret ont
all the foots on both sides, and mete ont retrib
utive justioe to each.
We are far from being the defenders and
apologists of treachery in any shape, and be-
litre that oondigts punishment ahonld be visited
upon it. But let ns strike at the root of the
matter, and not punish the nnleUered and un
civilized, while those of our own raoe and lin
eage are permitted to eeoepc. This is upon the
hypothesis that both Indians and whites have
bean guilty of tha asms crime. This is the
point to be ascertained, and we say, Jlatjuititia
ronat codum.
SanthwMIera Ueorglra.
A learned observant and philosophical friend,
who has just returned from an extended tour
through some of the Southern and Southwest
ern oo on tie*, gave In a verbal report of tha
situation yeaterday. His business took him off
the railroads and afforded him advantageous op
portunities to mingle intimately with the peo
ple and learn tbeir situation and feelings. Pre
vious to this tour he had long been afflicted with
the idea that this part of the State would retro
grade, and the business of Maoon, so far aa it
depended on the fortunes of the Southwest,
would suffer. He has now abandoned that idea
finally. y—y — -
The people of the Southern and Southwestern
counties are now showing evidence of indomit
able industry and thrift Tbeir farms are in
fine repair—their crops in the best condition—
their tables are well supplied from their own
iarma—they are working like beavers and saving
their money. Even on the railways there is
comparatively little do mend for western oom.
One merchant told him that not a bushel was
bought this year where six were bought last
Large crops of oats are being gathered and the
oom promise is the best he has ever seen.
Lower Georgia, ao far from being abandoned
negroes and thriftless whites, will soon be
the theatre of an indestrions, thriving, intelli
gent and wealthy population. Everything ie
coming ont right, and in a little time the credit
of that section will be completely restored.
1 he Thomas County Fair.
The Thomas County Fair has just closed with
unexampled success. It waa largely attended
from all the neighboring counties, and the dis
play of farm and garden products was so extra
ordinary as to surprise every beholder with the
abundant evidence of the groat capabilities of
the soil and elimate of that fine oonnty. The
Enterprise says that many who were possessed
by sohemes of emigration, vjhen they saw these
exhibits, declared that a country whioh can
prodnoe snob fruits ia good enough for anybody,
and they would henoeforth abandon their
dreams of finding a better.
The remit cf the Thomas County Fair has
been to inspire new ooorage—hope and ambi
tion in the people of that section. Thomas
oonnty is now org&nizing as a competitor for
the one thousand dollar prize in the State Fair
in Macon next October, and we say to them,
■Come on, brethren, and do yonr best.”
We trust the Bibb County Fair, next week,
will ba signalized by the lame benefioant re
mits, and stir np a new enthusiasm in tha great
oanse of prodaolng the fruits of the earth. We
are quite snre Bibb is going to make a gallant
show.
Ttae Three Richest Hen in (be United
Hlstes.
They are William B. Astor, Alexander T.
Stewart,and Cornellus—or“Commodore”—Van
derbilt—all realdlng in New York. Actor's
wealth is mainly in real estate and its revenues;
Vanderbilt's mainly in railroad stocks and their
dividends; Stewart's is in goodi, houses, stores,
faotories, lands, anil stocks. The aggregate
wealth of each one of them is supposed to be
somewhere between seventy-five and a hundred
millions, which looks rather heavy. Nobody
knows exactly; they oonldn't tell thcmsalves
within a million or two. Those who know most
about their affairs put their figures highest, and
say that the inoome tax returns of a few years
ago, whioh showed each of them to be worth
between twenty and thirty millions, gsve no
proper idea of their real wealth. Astor lives
unostentatiously; Vanderbilt lives in a three-
story briok bonse on a third-class street; and
Btewart lives in a marble palace on Fifth avenue
more magnifioent than any other residence on
the American continent, and equaled by
but few iu any of the groat oitiea of Europe.
Astor and Vanderbilt are New Yorkers by
birth; Stewart' is a native of the north of
Ireland. Astor is a large, heavy man of seventy
with strong features and a rubicund faoe, indi
cative of high living; Stewart is a medium-sized
man, rather slender and tall, of seventy-three,
with a face like a parchment, and gives the im
pression of being herd np; Vanderbilt is a tall,
slim, handsome, prond-looking man of nearly
eighty, and straight as an arrow; Astor has
heirs to his estates; Vanderbilt has children to
whom he can leave his fortune; bat Stewart is
childless. Astor'a pnbiio benefactions ate con
fined to something like a couple of hundred
thousand dollars, whioh be gave to the Astor
Library, and the two golden oondle sticks, nine
feet high, which he reoently gave to Trinity
Ghurob. Vanderbilt has never made any pub
lic benefactions, excepting a steamship to the
Government during tho war, till very recently,
when be gave a million of dollars for educa
tional purposes—one-half of this sum to found
a University in Tennessee and the other half to
another educational institution. Stewart has
always had the repnistion of being very dele
gated ; but he must be credited with his million
dollar “ Home for Women,” which will he com
pleted next year. Aster 1b a rigorous Eplscopa-
ian, Vanderbilt is an independent Methodist,
and Stewart is said to be inolined to think for
himself. Stewart ia a scholarly man; Vander
bilt is not. Astor is an accomplished man of
the world. n
The Best Paid Vienna Correspond
ont.
Same Northern newspaper jays the best paid
of all the American newspaper correspondents
at Vienna is Miss Olive Harper, who was sent
there by the San Franoisoo Alta, bnt who also
corresponds with the SL Louis Globe. Mis*
Harper is incurably lame, and cannot move ex-
cept on erntohes. Yet she is vary enterprising,
and is an interesting writer. She was posting
off to the lavs bed* to report the movements of
Captain Jack, when the Alta oonntermanded the
orders it had given her, and sent her to Vienna.
Though lamed by anchylosis of the knee joint,
she is s splendid horsewoman, and even on her
cratches she glides along graoefully and easily.
She Is thirty and a widow—Miss Harper being
merely her literary pseudonym.
Two Important Decisions.
We find the following in a late issue of the
Montgomery Advertiser s
The Sapreme Court of the United States by
a late decision has sanctioned the practloe in
the oourta of this State, of making the value of
Confederate treasury note* at the time the de-
mend for their delivery was made, tha measure
of damages, etc. The cose wa* that of the
Planter*’ Bonk of Tennessee vs. the Union Bank
of Louisiana, and the judgment of the ooart
below, which was affirmed by the U. S. Sapreme
Oonrt, was thst the Planters' Bank ought not
to be permitted to recover more than tho dam
ages sustained by it in eonaaqnenoe of the de
fendant’s failure to deliver Confederate notes
when they were demanded, and those damages
are measured by the value of these notes in
United States currency at the time when the
demand was made, and when the notes ahonld
have been delivered.
The oonrt aleo rendered another decision on
a question that has occupied a great deal of
inblie attention, and upon whioh there has
seen much difference of opinion, even among
distinguished lawyers end jurists. The rose was
an appeal from a lower conrt on the subjeot of
responsibility of States and mnnidpalittee for
obligations incurred in behalf of railroads. The
decision to which we refer establishes the con
stitutionality and validity of subsidies to rail
roads, whether granted diroot by tha State it
self, or by oounties and municipal corpora
tions under State authority. Donations of
money or lend as aoooorsgemant to railroads,
are shown to constitute the same legal obliga
tion as subscriptions to the Mock. The tax upon
the people, imposed for the payment of the in
terest and principal of the bonds thus issued in
accordance with tha law, i* decided to be oca-
*titutional and binding. Onr friend* wUl thin*
fore see at onoe that there is no payability of
avoiding by repudiation or otherwise obliga
tions. Bute, oonnty or municipal, incurred in

Thx Chronicle and Sentinel, of Thursday,
says there was a rumor in eircnlstioo the day
before in Augusta “to the effect thst President
Wadley had resigned the presidency of the
Central railroad, on aooouat of some difference
of opinion between himself and the Board of Di
rector*, growing out of a redaction of the sala
ries of the employee of tha road. - President
Wadley is one of tha ablest railroad men in the
country, and Ms withdrawal from the Central,
at thli time, would be unfortunate for tb* stock
holders, and perhaps injurious to the best in

Hiddzx Tazit.ua* Found —Many of oar
readers wiU remember William Henry, who
onoe kept a stove itore on market square, and
who died about eight years ago, iu apparent
poverty. He waa believed by every one who
was cognizant of his groat pennriouenesa, to
have a cumulated a large amount of property,
and this impreeidou became oonviotion, when,
Henry, upon his death bed, eonfeseed that he
accreted considerable treasure under two oaks
on the Vale Boyal plantation. A search for the
hidden treasure was made, but it was attended
with no auooeas, and the matter soon pawed
from the pubUo mind. A few d*y« sinoe, how

A Hffxut Monstbositt.—A negro woman re
riding on the plantation of Mr. J. W. Stephens,
of this oonnty, reoently gave birth to a doable
monstrosity, or more properly to twin children,
mole and female with a monster head. Their
bodies, from tbeir shoulders to their feet, were
normally developed and entirely separate.
Their neek* were blended together—forming
one—whioh supported the monster heed. This
wm abnormally large, having -only one eye in
the eentre of the forehead. The mouth, nos*
end other parts of tbe heed were vary imper
fectly developed. This specimen of humanity
was premature, consequently did not survive.
Should they have lived they would heve been
the greatest wonder of the age, rinoe two bod
ies would have been oontrolled by one nervous
system.

Tho undoing of a sentimental marriage be
tween Hugh Lawson Brinkley and Elizabeth
Brinkley is in progress before the Sapreme
Ooart of New York. Hr. Brinkley ie worth
nearly two minions. Mrs. Brinkley, nee Miss
Elizabeth Charles, was a school teacher in the
South, and until lately both were resident* of
Memphis, Term. Aooording to Mrs. B.’s state
ment be foie the oonrt, they bad been acquainted
for several years, bnt there was an obstacle to
their pnbiio marriage. Brinkley feared he
would be disinherited if Ms marriage to her
were known to Ms father, who bad picked out
a rich wife far Mm in a woman whom he oould
never love. He proposed to Miss Charles
to go to Europe and ba married there,
whleh die declined to listen to. Anoth
er proposition was for them to get married
by both agreeing to be man and wife, end call
ing no jastiee or preaebor or witnens to the
oeremany. Miss Elizabeth Charles finally took
pity on Brinkley and agreed to do this. The
day waa regularly set and the agreement was
solemnly made, and ba give her a areas sad
put a zing on her finger, end it waa all fixed.
This was in 1864, and they immediately found
thamaelves occupying the same apartments in

The Polaris letacera.
Washington, June 13—A dispatch says the
refugee* from the Polaris were sent North with
instructions to make no oommanioations. The
dispatch states that enonglMias been hinted
around the navy yard to show that tha report of
the Secretary of tbe Navy will indioote that
jealousy and intrigue prevailed on the Polaris
from the day she sailed.
Oapt Hall found that Haddington opposed
him, and when the Polaris reaohed tbe farthest
point north, with everything favorable in pros
pect, Boddington refused to go farther, when
Hall became discouraged, and Boddington, after
Hall’s death, was constantly drank.
Caph Hill's widow arrived at Washington,
from Cinoumati, and was distressed to find the
erew of the Polaris gone, os she desired to talk
with them abont her husband's death.

The Klcrakpoo*.—UcXenxle’s Raid.
One of ten old Texas soldiers reports the
raid of Colonel McKetzie into Mexico, after
the Kickapoos, as follows:
At Fort Clark we fonnd Colonel McKenzie,
of tbe Tenth Cavalry, a brave, enterprising
effioer, who wu fixing np an expedition of
some kind, and who wu busy ploking out good
horses and good looking, smart, active men.
I remarked to him one day that ha meant bus
iness of some kind, and that if he would give
us boys a ohanoe I thought it would pay him.
He laughed and asked me why I thought he
meant bnsiness. I told him becanse he wu
taking ont of the herd all the horses that
seemed oapable of hard service, and all the
men who were good riders and stout, able bod
ied soldiers. On the 17th of May the Colonel
sent for mo to oome to his quarters and asked
me how many men I had. 1 told him ten. He
wanted to know if they wonld like to go with
Mm on a little soonting expedition. I asked
him in what direction. He refused to tell me,
but simply Bald that good soldiers asked no
questions, and that if wo were a mind to go he
would furnish ammunition, rations, and give
us twenty five dollars apiece when we got baek.
I broached the snbjeot to the boys that day,
and we agreed unanimously to go with the Col
onel. I saw him again in the afternoon, and
he told ns to bs ready that night at dark to
start.
When we saddled np and got to Ms quarters,
his men were already In line, 120 of them, all
armed with Spence; rifles and a pair of dragoon
revolvers. He made them leave their sabres
beMnd, and I knew by that that he was count
ing on surprising somebody, and did not want
their rattling. We orossed the river safely by
about ten o’clock, although it wu pretty hfgh
and rongb, and struok ont hard for a little Mex
ican town oalled Santa Boss, which is distant
abont sixty miles from the border of Texas,
and which is in the heart of the Kiokapoo and
Lipan oonntry. He put us ten in advance, and
told ns that ha relied upon onr experience and
our knowledge of Indian trioks, and ordered ns
to keep a sharp lookoat and post Mm fully as
to all that wu going on.
That night we made abont forty miles, and
camped in some obapparal brush, a mile from
the road, feeding the horses well, and waiting
nntil late in the day of the 18th to make an
other night march. Some Mexicans who had
seen sb turn ont of the road oame prowling
abont the camp, bat we took them prisoners
and kept them nntil we started, knowing they
oonld not find horseB and ovartake ns before we
got to Santa liosa. Taking a littlo more time
the seoond night so as to have onr horses fresh,
we got within sight of Santa Hobo about day
light on the morning of the 19ib. Colonel Mc
Kenzie here came np to the head of the soont
ing party and told ns that be expected to find
Indians either in the town or jnst beyond it at
the foot of tbe monntains, and that when we
Blmck them we were to dash in among them
without stopping to oount noses. Ho would bo
jast behind to Bee as tbrongb.
There were very few of the inhabitants of
Santa Rosa np and stirring as we dashed through
—but one or two of these fired npon ns from
tbe houses withont doing any harm. Abont a
mils beyond the town we oame npon three In-
dians on their ponies, who seemed to be on
picket. We charged them with a yell, and killed
the three before they had gone half a mile. We
now came to a ridge that wu pretty steep, and
below this ridge and between it and the first
range of monntains there wu a flit that had
some old rains of houses fn it. It wu tolerably
light now, and we saw what looked like a camp
ahead of ns, and some dozen or two Indians
wrapped in their blankets stalking abont. They
spied ns as soon u we did them, and sprang for
their ponies. In a moment we were among
them, yelling and shooting like devils. Colonel
McKenzie came on right after ns, taking part
in the fight and giving no quarter. I don't
think the work luted ten urinates, all told.
Some of them got into the mountains and es
caped, and soma, who were badly wounded,
we left where they fell, although the boys
were for killing them all, and wonld havo done
so but for the Coloqeb We had two men killed
and two mortally wounded, one of whom had
died before we left and one who was dying as
we galloped off. We killed twenty eight that I
counted, all big fine backs, and oaptured forty-
two, wMch we brought back with ns on their
own ponie9, fifty or sixty of whioh we got.
Some of their badly wounded got off on the
mountains, and some of these will die. The In-
dians we Btruck were a band of Kickapoos, evi
dently on the war path, and heading for TexaB.
They were fn war paint and feathers, but such
was the oomplete nature of the /surprise that
they did not have time to make mnch of a fight.
There were some Mexicans among them who
swore they were prisoners, and so Col. McKenzie
released them, though to our way of thinking
they were meaner than the Indians. Among the
captured waa a Lipan chief, who was a surly
devil and hard to keep from escaping. Wehadto
tie him on hia horse and threaten him several
times with cocked pistols. These Kickopoos and
Lipans have been raiding on Texas for twenty
years, and this Is the first time American sol
diers have ever followed them np into their own
territory. They were not looking for anything
of the kind, and seemed more surprised than
alarmed when we commenced on them. They
had the beet of American gnus and pistols, and
if they had been looking for ns they would un
doubtedly have given us an ugly Sght. None
of my ten men were scratched. I think I killed
two, maybe three, for I wu riding a swift horee
and got a little ahead in the chase. Colonel
McKenzie wu greatly pleued with us, and said
that if ever he went on another raid he would
be snre to take ns along. I don’t think we were
pursued. Leastways I was constantly in the
rear from* half to three quarters of a mile,
and I saw nothing of anybody following onr
trait We got back to Fort Clark with our pris
oners oaths 23 i, end there has been much talk
of what Mexioo would do in the matter. We
ell hope she will do something. A war with her
ia just what we want, for if the United States
will bat say the word we will put such e stop to
this stealing end raiding along the Bio Grande
that will make the settler’s heart glad for tbe
fulcra. In the fight we killed a brave that mast
have been seven feet high. He wm the tallest
men I ever sew. One of the 10th regiment
shot Mm in the beok of the head. He had
about his person several dollars worth of silver
ornaments. We heard of several thousand
Kiokapoo warrior* about twenty mile* farther
south from Bants Hoes, bat we did not go after

R IDICULOUS IDEAS arc entertained abont
purgative*. It ia dangerous to scourge the
stomach, to raep the bowels, to prostrate the ner
vous system with furious evacuants. Nature has
given a sample, in the famous Belt*er Spring, of

the valuable ingredients of the Geiman Fountain
in a portable form, and omitting those which have
no medicinal virtues. This agreeable and potent
saline alterative charges tbe condition or the blood
and purifies sll the fluids of the body- So 1 ?)*
