What is tbe moral of the grand outbreaking
or uprising of the Red Murder Fiend in these
d rye ? Let tbe philosophers—the theologians
psychologists and all the wiae men skilled in the
secret maladies of the son!, look into the mat
ter and tell ns the cause and the remedy, If
there be any. Such horrid murders crowd into
the news reports—reorders of wives—parents—
husbands—children I Snch strange actors, too,
flit across the ghaa’.ly and ensanguined stage of
the great mnrder drama—child murderers and
women murderers—asms of the latter of whom
smile with composure as they compute their
victim* by the half score. One Borgia attained
a historic idfancy nnobntested down to this
period; bnt now they are getting to be so oom-
iton tbat they will oeaso to be prominent.
Soro.y there must be some way of explaining
and accounting for this saturnalia of mnrdar
ihis rampant triumph of human brutality
hich has rpmog np as if lo mock, with a dev
ilish leer the shallow felicitations over the so-
called “advancement of -the—19th-oentnry.
Ab, it is a rose colored century: so fnll cl
Christianity, civilization, progress, benevolence,
human amelioration of all sorts, and so forth,
and so forth; bnt look on the other side of it
and yen see leg'ons of murdered innocents flee
ing in terror from uplifted dagger, axa, knife,
pistol, and bludgeon, or writhing in the agonies
of death by poison. The world has o'asaed dif
ferent eras as the age of iron, bronze, silver,
and gold—bat this is the age of murder. How
came it an?
Tbe ffexlcan Border.
The Mexican Border Investigating Commit
tee make a dolorous report of the stale of af
fairs on the Texas frontier. They have been
engaged constantly since \Jannary 10, and have
heard evidence in four hundred cases, and have
received in addition to thirteen hundred the ex
parte sffidrvits of several women and children,
who have escaped from Ihe Indians and appear-
' before Ihe Commissioners, and told the story
of their terrible sofferiDgg. The Comanches
are said to be mainly engaged in tbe business of
stealing and selling tho children of white set
tlers, while the Kickapoos and Lipana and Mexi
cans disguised as such, ohiefly confine them
selves to cattle stealing. Ths stock raising
within two hundred miles of the Bio Grande
hss been well nigh abandoned.
The Commissioners represent the cmnnnt of
damages, direst and consequential, to those who
have hoffered by these raids at between fifty
and sixty millions dollars. Five hundred pjti-
lions m Ihe way of complaint, with specifica
tions, were presented to tbe Commissioners,
and these were Bnpported by sixteen hnrdred
affidavits. Many of tbe petitions and affiants
are represented to be men of fino odnoation and
of most respectable character.
Ae to tbe Kickapoos it is supposed there are
not more than two hundred warriors of them
altogether. One of toe old chiefs, referring to
the proposition of the United States to the Kick-
spocs to go on a reservation said to a courier as
follows: “We wonld have bnt a small patoh of
eronnd and oonld not make raids on other res
ervations; here wo are supported in part by tbe
Mexican government, which not only supplies
ns with provisions bnt gives n3 money, and when
wo want to go to Texas, the Mexioan merchants
and planters supply ns with horses, gnns and
amnnition and provisions that we may make onr
bread, and we pay them from what we capture.
Besides we have a good oonntry nnd fine climate,
msny privi)*ges and tbe whole Texas border to
raid on."
The Commissioners think if the captives
taken by Cob McKenzie should bo restored to
the Kickapoos, they would be more ioolined
to return to the United States than thoy are
now, and henoo donbt tho propriety of comply
ing with their requeit.
The Seeretary of the Interior will take no
present notion on the telegraphic request of the
Kickspoo Commissioner, except to report it to
the Secretary of War, with tho suggestion that
he confer with the Secretary of State on the
subjeot.
Bnt alas for the Kickapoos, a good many of
thvoa Vioked for Iba last lime when McKenzie
raided into their Mexioan fastness and came
down upon them like a dock npon a Jnno-bng.
From Twigs* County.
Twiaas Cotott, Ga., Jnne 18, 1873.
Editori Telegraph,and Messenger: I have
notioed to nearly'all of yonr issues letters and
reports from varions counties in the State, rep
resenting the oondiUon" of crops. Therefore,
I hope yon. will bear with mo to tell yon onr
condition in Twiggs county. First, enclosed
I send yon a sample of cotton, whioh yon may
aeo at onoe is kneo high (to a duck) and not fall
of forms. We haTO brood fields of cotton like
this in Twiggs, and the oontxnned heavy rains
that have visited ns almost daily for the past
aix weeks, together with the cold nights of May,
has eansed onr notion, in any quantity, to grad
ually grow less'and die ont. Unless we have
more nanshine and leas rain very soon the grass
will oover the remainder of it.
Onr grass crop will now measure as high as
any “Lee oonnty man’s” stalk of cotton he gets
from “ ’hind do girding,” and sends yon so
forward and fall of forms; and right here let
ms aay, ten chanoes to one “these soon birds"
have given warehonse liens and want to give
another “Pape.”
Corn crops look,better than any thing else,
bnt they are suffering for tillage, and withont it
will not mature well.
We have some twenty cases of small pox in
tho eonoty, and those who nover had measles
before have them now.
Besides all this, Messrs. Editors, wo have
read oarefnlly Mayor Hnff s appeal to Georgi
ans, telling ns of onr tree condition, and unless
we adhere to its teaobings, insvnmpieo non
eomatihus, Twiggs county, Georgia, and the
Southern Slates.
If it continues to rain, and navigation is free
to all, and when tbe caterpillars comes, y off may
again hear from, yours trnly,

Hit tbe Nall on (he Ilead.
A correspondent of the Wathtogton Republi
can, writing from West Point, relates the fol
lowing concerning some of the questions asked
the nnsccoessfnl candidates for admission to
the military academy at the late elimination:
Bio history tbo question was asked, “What
social change did tbe rebellion prodnoe?" to
to which a Southern candidate, whoso name
shall be nameless, replied: “It made the South
hate tno North, and the North hate the Sonth;
it freed the ‘ nigger’ and broke a tie which
nover can be healed."
And yet this boy failed to pass in history! It
the examiner wanted a true answer to his ques
tion, be got it A truer ono w»s noTer made.
That Sonthem boy hit tho nail sqnaro on the
head and ahonld have been admitted if he had
had, failed on all other branches. Bnt perhaps
his answer was not “loyal.”

Aeoording to onr telegrams printed yesterday
there were thirty cholera interments in Nash
ville on the 17th. On the 15th the Union re
ports twenty five and on tholGth fouitoen. The
Union says the following notice was found
posted on the door of the Tax Commissioner’s
office on Monday:
Jane 17, 1873.
This office closed nnlil Saturday, for want of
business. Not exoited bnt somewhat agitated.
T. W. Caujwxix, Commissioner.
In Galls tin there is a good deal of sickness
and excitement. The Examiner of tbe 16th
reports five deaths from cholera on that day—
three on the 15tb, three on tbe 14th and one
each for the four previous days. The deaths
were mainly of the colored population, and oc
curred to an insalubrious part of the town.
A Partlnr, a Meeting and a Wedding.
Ten years ago M. B. Christie journeyed from
England to America, and found employment in
Lord A Taylor’s: After fire years’ faiihfnl ser
vice, on recommendation of that firm, be began
traveling for White, Ross A Co., with whom he
remains. Before he visited America he fell in
love with a bine-eyed, rosy maid, of twelve
years, sod on parting the two bound themselves
with solemn vows to become man and wife.
Maurice did not hear from her daring the ten
years* abfence. He worked hard ml laid up a
song little fortune. Last Saturday a friend told
him that a young Englishwoman was in the
Stacy House, whose name was Carrie Linyard.
Maurice hastened, and fonnd his betrothed of
ten years ago a beantifol, accomplished yonng
lady. Her aged tether was with her. The old
rows were repeated. Eich had written to the
other, bat the letters did not reach their destin
ation. With the father’s approval, they were
married that night; and they now live in Mont

Tbe Crops.
The Memphis Appeal locnbratea on the grow
ing cotton crop as follows:
The news that reaches us from all the States,
in regard to the growing crops, is anything bnt
encouraging. Gotten has been especially un
fortunate. In North Mississippi, indeed, we
might say throughout the State, newspapers and
private correspondents agree that the cater
pillar is marching in larger numbers than ever,
and that the destruction is greater than has ever
before been known. In Louisiana, so great has
been the destruction by wet weather, that it is
feared impossible to counteract its itflaenoe
before ihe pest, which Is a nsnal result of it,
(the army worm) makes its appearance and kills
what remains of a chance for a crop. In the
western part of thia State the continued rains
and prevalence of an unusually hnmid atmos
phere are quickening the growth of the grasa,
and although planters are a orking diligently to
check it, it ia feared that it ia already too far
ahead and may succeed in checking the growing
plant
From Georgia there comes the same complaint
of grassy cotton, caterpillar and possibility of
army worm; yet the farmers are not cast down,
bnt are as busy as beavers in their efforts to
coop ont the one and kill off the other. In
Florida tbe same cause for the same complaints
exist, and the apprehensions of planters are
folly aronsed, tbongh the hope is indulged that
with each hot, dry weather as we in Memphis
have been praying for, the threatened damage
maybe escaped. Everywhere thronghont Ala
bama the cry goes np, “The caterpillar! The
caterpillar!” And there seems to be no help
for it. Rains have been almost incessant, plant-
era are indulging in the most gloomy forebod
ings, and tbe newspapers are prognosticating
dire calamities in case of failure, since, as the
Enfanla Times hss It, “there are no oats, no
corn, no bacon ; and all onr money is in a little
weed that trill not blossom for three weeks.”
In Texas, also, wheneesome time sgo we had
reason to expect better things, the story of
caterpillar, rain and posaibly the army worms
comes with augmented force, and the general
feeling is thst the cotton crop will be short.
The Sonth Carolina papers, too, are filled with
gloomy aooonnts, and they are unanimously of
tbe opinion that the crop will be short, the wet
weather prevailing there, as everywhere along
the cotton belt. In Louisiana, the sugar cane
is overran with gra‘S, and no reasonable hope
ean be entertained of a satisfactory product.
An ont all thia, and as an antidote, we have en-
ennraging accounts of the wheat crop in Texas,
Tennessee, Virginia and Alabama, and, gener
ally, oorn is doing very well. From this it will
be seen that any arrangements of spinners or
buyers for a big ootton crop are in a fair way to
be frustrated, and that those who deal in “fn-
tnres” would do well to disoonnt largely the
swelling figures of the “bnlla.”
The Vienna Exposition.
Bayard Taylor, oontinning his description of
the Austrian department in the World’s Fair at
Vienna, gives soma interesting details of Vien
nese industries, beginning with the costliest
jewels and fancy articles and going down to tbe
minutest artiole of household furniture:
The most valuable thing in the jewelry de
partment is a necklace of forty-six brilliants of
remarkable sizo and lnstre, the property of the
Archdnke Carl Ludwig, whioh the police
man who stands guard over tbe Ireasnre says
0091 $250,000. There are also three ooronets of
diamonds and rabies, whioh perhaps eonnt for
$100,000 or $150,000 each, and a nnmber of
magmfieent brooches, earrings and pearl neck-
laood, with diamond clasps, the cost of which
the policeman does not pretend to know and de
clines to guess. -One of iheccroneta represents
a bit of grapevine, tho stem and leaves being of
diamonds and the tranches of gripes of large
rabies. A necklace of seven rows of pearls is
noticeable more for its gorgeousness and ooatli-
ness than from its beamy of design. Thepearls
are eaoh almost as big as a schoolboy’s marble.
The Vienna jewelers donotrival those of Farisin
the variety and elegance of their work, but they
rank next to them, and in some special branches
even surpass.
What will delight the ladies most is the dis
play of handsome dresses made and trimmed in
the latest fashion, and of. hats acd bonnets of
ihe newest mode—lovely thiogs in a women's
eyes, bnt cf small interest to the other sex, who
will pass them by to look at the goods shown by
the tailors, shoemakers and halters in the ad-
joining transept. The shopkeeping character
of the Anstrran department is particularly
prominent here. Tne ready-made clothing is
ticketed with prioe labels, and on each case is
a stack of the business cards of the exhibitor
trom which tho visitor oan help himself if he
wishes.
The beds are afeainre of tho farniture depart
ment. All over the continent double beds are
regarded as relies of barbarism. The beddrag
herein Austria is a cariosity. They have ail the
modern inventions of springs and mattresses,
bnt the only covering is usually a very thick
qnilc of bright colored silk or delaine, around
the edges of which tho npper sheet is (rationed
ao as to make a white border of abont three
inches wide on tbe npper side, and this border
is plaited or (rimmed with lace. The droll thing
abont this coverlet is that it is never long
enough to reach from tbe shoniders to the feet,
and the only way yon ean make it oover yon is
to onrl np liko a cat
Washington ana Lee University.
Twenty thousand dollars have been sub
scribed to Virginia for the endowment of the
Virginia chair in tho Washington nnd Lae Uni
versity, at Lax'ng'.oa, Virginia. Fifty thousand
dollars is neesssary for its establishment, and
it to thought there will be no difficulty in ob
taining it. The Richmond Enquirer, referring
to the endowment of different chairs in the
Washington and Lee University, says:
It is very gratifying to see tbe deep interest
manifested in the Uoiversity by the people of
other States. The Missourians have subscribed
nearly $50,000for tbe endowment of the Missouri
chair of applied chemistry, Dr. N. A Fratt; the
Kentuckians $25,000 for the Kentucky chair of
history and political economy, Colonel William
Preston Johnston; the Louisianians $27,000 for
the chair of modern languages. Professor E. S.
Joynee, and the Texans $25,000 for the chair of
applied mathematics, Colonel William Allan.
Tho plan js to get a chair endowed from each
State with $50,000. This will give the Univer
sity a handsome fond, for it nowbas an endow
ment of $300,000, and an aggregate capital of
more than half a million dollars, and it is free
from debt. It reeeived last year in beqnestsand
donations nearly $100,000.”
Great Falling Oft In tha Wheat Crop Ex.
pected—This Tear Pronounced the Worst
Store Ihe War.
Special Dispatch to tin Chicago Tribute ]
Nzw York, Jane 13.—A Washington special
s ays: Accounts aro now in from enough of the
wheat-growing States to show that the crop of
this year will, in all probability, be less than
half what it was last year. In western New
York, and in fact along the entire lake region
of the country, winter wheat is, as might have
been expected from the nnnsnal severity of tbe
past season, almost a total failure. Other crops
have also been severely injured by the late
spring. The long continued wet weather pre
vails in Iowa, and the crops are suffering
greatly. There is every reason to believe that,
with the exception of tbe fruit crops, ail others
will be very short, the deficiency being especi
ally heavy in cereals. In fact, 1873 will proba
bly be tbe worst year we have had since the be
ginning of the war. The wheat crop is already
being harvested in the Southern States, and as
far north as the Shenandoah valley. In some
oases it has been very fair, bnt, by the time the
great belt of the Central States is reached, it is
believed that the falling off of the crop will be
such as will astonish the eonntry, and affect tbe
financial situation.
BY TELJEGRAPH.
Deep Sea Flslilog.
The Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune says that Gen. Grant “ probably
entertains no notion of running again, and if
he did, wonld be obliterated," bat flaps ont Mr.
Secretary Fish &3 the coming ichthas. Saith he
(very irreverently, by the way,):
“Do yon know that old Fiah ia amongst the
volunteers for the Presidency said a high offi
cial to me a week ago. “ By George, hie pros
pects are as good aa any of them. Suppose the
money interest of the country throws the vote
in f ?6, as it did without division in *72, wouldn't
it pitch upon Fish as abont tbe safest man in
the CalJInet ? And he ba3 got to every honor by
the silent slide he is waitieg to take now. Gov
ernor of New York, Senator and Secretary of
State, be occupied all these places almost with
out a canvass. His place is about the only one
in the country where he might have a positive
policy, and At the right time, by a pop At Mex
ico, or some other port, get the veering And
volAtile half of mankind enthusiastic for him.
And do yon notice that, whereas he had given
np his house, and declared in solemn earnest
that he would leave Washington at the begin
ning of the eecond term, be has now retaken
tbe Morgan mansion, and his wife has exerted
hersdlf this winter aa never before to entertain
with cost and splendor unequalled here ? Grant
is giving Fish more of his time than he used to.
They ride out together, and look owiy.”

palace oars passed the conduit pipe they were
flooded, the water pouring in through the ven
tilators on the roofs. Many of the ladies' rich
