Telegram fr Ml WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUL7 S, 1873. Another l<f*( la Nhaumrlal I hup* ler. A Honoy Hill, 8ouih Carolina, oorrespon- dent of the Savannah News bu written two let ter* to the I'e lenl Genorel Stone, wbcwo ex- planation esto who l-nrned Colombia we [ 'lb- liahod lone daja einee, disproving Stone** slat*, ment that the fool deed wm committed by a so ciety of Yankee prisoners and negroes, and be certainly make* ant a strong case. He charges the Ttspor.sibility for tbs bnrning upon Sher man—where we nbail always believe it should rest—and in support of bis assertion and as an illustration of the animus of Shsrman and other commanders, relates the following circum stances attending the destruction of the gas works: In the general bnrning anil sack of the city, principally by tho 15th Army Corps, the gas works, which anpplied tho only means of light, fortunately escaped ; hot, on tialnrilAy the ru mor reached Mr. Derrick, the superintendent, that an order for their destruction bad been ieaoed. Mr. J. G. Giblies, then a member of the City Council, went immediately to General Howard and appealed to him to spare them, for reasons that were palpable to Grnera] Howard himself, viz: 1st. Every storwin the clly bad been destroy- ed. 14. Forty nine of every fifty families de- ! • -1 on tbs gsa works for light. 3d. Co lumbia was cut off from every eon roe of supply by which lights could be secured. 4th. The tick and wounded who were gathered in the col lege bonding* were dependent upon the works for tbecomfort and convenience of s light. 5th. That tho city was already a wreck, and that to deprivo the wretched inhabitant* of the only comfort left them would be to agonize them with the extreme of cruelty, (ith. That the works were wholly private property, and that Ibetr daslmction oonld serve no conceivable military purpose. To all this General Howard replied by referring to bis order from General Hbeimtn. Mr. Glbtov immedistely went to General Hbermsn, anil presented the case to him, nrgiog ble interference; but bn only re- ferred Mr. Gibboa back to General Howard as having boon Invested with fall military author ity in the city, not, however, without tmprers- ing Mr. Gibbre with the idea that the worka should not be doetroyed. (This was sulmfqnent- ly strengthened bye second Interview with Gen. Howard. How lunch reliance was to bo j.laood upouOio assurance thus given was soon shown. Early the following morning, Hnndaythe lDth a day HO calm and pleasant that God. Hbcrman, under the pretext of going to chnrcb, went ont toinspoct bis handiwork—it wn* again rumored thst a detachment had been ordered to proceed to the guv works to destroy them. Again Mr. Gibbon, in company with another cillz»D, went to boo General Howard, bat ho soon saw that bta appeals were nsoleas, and & littlo while afterwards the dense mass of black smoko which rose from thst quarter of the city, told too plainly that tho work of destruction was going on. Mr. Derrick, the superintendent, and s friend, Mr. Linton, were at tho works when the detachment .arrived. They oamo nnder the command of an effioor who was evidently an expert in the art of demolition. That job was effcotnally done; tho smoke-stack was under mined and thrown down; tho bolder, the one In use, was ent and knocked literally to pleoes, and every piece of pipe, every retort, and meter bo broken as to render tnem perfectly tiseleea, end then tho rosin, some threo hundred barrels, was rolled into the building and fired. In their fronzy they spared not oven their own citizens Within the enclosure stood, half oompteted. n fine gas bolder, tho property of Mr. O. W. Kraft, a loyal cilizen of Philadel phia. Mr. Dorrick and Mr. Linton, who were aware of the facts, nrged the commanding offi cer to spnro it, stating tho reason, and assuring him that tho company had no interest in it, and that Mr. Kraft was stilt tho legal owner, llut all in vain, the reply was: If Mr. Kraft la a loyal citizen ho will be paid for it by the Gov ernment Tho columns were then broken, tho whoels shattered, and about tbreo hnndrod holes cat or broken in tho holder itself with axes, and the whole mass with weights, columns, pipes, etc., tumbled into tho well. Here was privato property; it was not conld not bo used by an enemy, and was at the time almost an aliaolnto necessity. Ho ‘'bummers’* destroyed it, a regular detachment nnder a commissioned ofilcor. went In broad day light hnd destroyed it. Thoro was no bnrning cotton abont it; thorn was no fire near It, it was deslroyod by the express order of General Howard, Under tbo sanction of General Sherman, on the Snbbatb, when General Hbermsn, according to his own statement, was looking abont nnd wondering that a poople enveloped in smoko and nahrn, beggared and witbocl food for tho day, wore not awaiting him at some church with A te devm. It was not dono in the flush of victory, or nodor tba influenoe of tbs content* of the generous cellars of Scnlhorn gen- tleman; it wss done coolly, deliberately, ener gized by that spirit which glosts with delight upon ths agonies of n dying too. Yonr Knklnz society soldior was not tbore, nor n single nogro bat » full, g.»..l regimen' of I mle.l S’.utui troops was quartered in sight of it. General Htone, do not write any more. Yonr motives aro too patent; nnd instead of helping yonr frlonds, yon aro aiding in carrying ont Ooneral Hampton’s propbotlo iangntgo in refercnco to HhsrmaD, “damned to eternal infamy.** ^*a»*>— General O. O. Howard and tbo Freed- nien’a Hurean. W.tsniNoTajt, JnnelG.—Tho complications in Gononl O. O. Howard’s case, Gays a dispatch to the Hod, grow worso nnd worse. In tho exam ination of tho papers submitted to ths Deport ment of Jostloo by tho Bocrotary of War, it was discovered that tho law of March 3,18G5, cre ating tho Froodmcn's Burcan, required the commissioner and anb-commissloners to give bonds, ths former in tho anm of $50,000 and th* latter in $20,000, which woro to bo approved by tho Attorney-General and filed with tho prop er office™. Inquiry was at once mado ct the Treasury and War Department for these bonds —fourteen in all. Search was mado in both departments, bnt up to this evening no traces of them oonld bo fonnd. The aot of March 30, 1SG7, turning over to the Freedmen'a Bureau the settlement of the bsok pay, bounties, and pensions of colorod sol diets, also required tho Commissioner and his subordinates to givo bonds. Those have been lookod lor and nre also missing. Tbo clerks in the Heoond Comptroller's effleo, charged with their custody, openly say that they have been stolen. This la viewed at both the Treasury and War Departments as a moat serious matter, and a sensation was oan.i-d by tho discovery of thoir abstraction. The whole amount of money which passed through tho hands of the Commissioner was $13,000,000. The aot of *67 in regard to colored soldiers’ bounties makes the Commis sioner liable for the honest distribution of all moneys. It is on this thst a civil snit will be inatitnted against him. What They Eat la London. Mr. Walterson, of the Lonisville Conrier- Jonrnal, gives the following graphio account of the English bill of faro: What are we eating and drinking! Begad, don’t mind telling yon that, either; for (take note of it) this is a strictly confidential com munication, written from ono friend to another. We get np at 9 o'clock. (This is the enrionsest country yon ever heard of. The sun does not go down'till 10 o'oloek at night nnd rises again abont 3 o'clock in the morning. Conscqnontly yon do most of yonr sleeping in the daytime. A perfect paradise in that respect for poker- players.) I say we get np at o'clock and have for breakfast a pot of jnst abont the thinnest fluid that ever disgraced the name of coffee; half rye, half chicary, one-third water and two- thirds composite milk. Then wo have an ome lette, pretty good. Then a rasher of breakfast baoon; capital. Then a sole. As yon aro a poor, ignorant croatnro, ill-advised, after all of Dr. Humphrey's and Dr. Cralk’s preaching, FB tell yon what a sole is. It fa not in reality a tout, bnt a fish. What sort of a fish? A cross between a pompano and a sucker—very meaty, boneless and sweet. Our dinners aro more elaborate. We begin with a soup. I will take my oath before Hop Prioe, “or any other man," that the English are more successful m the fabrication of execrable soaps than any of all the civilized people who scalier death and dyspepeia over tho faoe of tho globe. There is bnt one comfort abont our soups; that of ohange and variety. To-mor row's soup is tolerably anre to be a little worse than to-day's soap: yon'll own that it is better than a dull uniformity in Ustclessness. After soup we have a turbot; and a tarbot is like the early bird that deals in good intentions—as pretty a finli as flies; it t>, in lie., a son of promissory note—unlike the soup—improving from d.y to day, and meaanrably palatable wiUt some ahrimp and sauce. Next to the tarbot we have a round of boef or a leg of mutton. Ah, well: a body must e'en tell the truth now and tneo, if he is writing to a newspaper, and, to be square and open, tt must be owned thst the English beat u* on Uef and mutton. Their vegetables are second rate. They do not equal n* in peas, potatoes, caobagee, cauliflowers, beans, corn, or, in short, any one single vegeta ble that we grow in common. They pride them selves on -aweeta.’* Their “sweets" consist, for the moet part, in pudding; and we have a padding every day. TnzKewOrleansl’ioaynne on unification: “it is a Louisiana proposition—for Louisiana alone —to as re the people of Louisiana from being garroted by the thieves and tyrants who now bold na by the throat. We heartily support the great end songht to be obtained. We heartily aasant to give the colored raoe all the political rights and privilege* nnder the law the white raoe possesses We merely desire s political (miffcation of all raoee in Louisiana." ’•I navi GOT M at ■ •’•ET.” tlfc* * Tonne I.adv r—■* 1 *' N b« Is In- **«»*• From the New York Hvrcoryl The following ’ intercepted letter," from the Home Journal, toll* fuuoily bow a young miss feel* when ■nrcrptioualy engaged : Data Allis ’■ 1 have got a real, live, grown- np bean; *°d ■ 1 it jolly. He’s perfectly .piendid ; Jwrt "*® those lovely wsx figure* in the wind"**, only they can't use tbelr lips. It’s my French teacher, and be esya "mi petite" j„.t bke a cooing dove, and he always smells so sweet of pond lilies! I don’t have anything to do With tb# boy* now ; those little boys of nev. erit4.cn and eighteen do very well when there aro no m-n amend, if they can get money enough from their paa to boy ns Gunther's can- dies, but they can’t amuse n* girls of fonrteen they seem just like babies, and when they try to make love—O, my! arn't they mushy ? Now, Monsieur Fontaine acta as if be had been en gaged twenty times, although I'm his first love; but we don't let on before ma, and Thnee. It makes Arethusa awfnl mad to have me call her T hose, and that's the reason I do it. I heard h» r »*k ma the other day if that Freoch- man'a manner* were not too familiar toward tt a', child. Child! She's awfully afraid of my lieing a yonng lady! What need she care, now ahe'a married? Wasn't she spooney, thongb, about Fred! When he used to oome and see her, I would drag Tommy into the room and pat my arm aronnd hi* waist and squeeze hi* hand until her faoe wonld be ai rod as a beet. Hnoh fan! I osngbt her kissing him once—inch s littlo nipping kirn, just ss if *he ware Usting pepper sauce. How, if I pre tended to kiss s man, Td do it In right good earnest; jnst plant my feet equate on the ground and give to him sore pop right on the bps. O, AUie, poor Those would go off on a dead faint at my low bred expressions, and in. form me, for the nine hundred and ninth time, that my name is Ellsworth. Just as if I didn't know my own name, and what dee* it matter any way, when I expect to change it so soon ? I do not intend to hang on to it till I am a horrid old maid, like poor Miss Tracy opposite. Hbe might bo a warning to the strongest-minded. Hbp a nervous, and how I do Ioto to scare her. I promised Tommy the other dsy five cents worth of pea enta to let me hold him out of oar third story window. He'd let me skin him for a paper of pen nnts. So I got him ont, and knelt down nnder tho window lodge, where I couldn't be seen, and held tight bold of his wrists. Those mink* my strength is disgusting. Pretty noon there waa an elderly shriek, and then an elderly form rnshed across the street to mother, but by tho time they got np stairs I was seated quietly at my crochet-work, and Tommy was turning summeraanlu on tbo bod, over the lovely fluted pillow-case*. And ma still thinks it is poor Miss Tracy that is “a little wild at times." I lovs my brother Fred ever so moefa, bnt I don't fee how he ever cams to fancy sneh a die- away specimen as cor Those. Becanse she is so awfnlly pretty, I suppose ; bnt she just tarns him around her thumb. If he refuses to get what she wants, she jnst looks Uke s martyr in ths Aimes, and lets down all her back hair like tho Magdalen* in the picture gallery. And although thoy are roal pretty hanging on tho walls, even »n artist does not want to sit at Iho table three times a day opposite a livo one, with her eyea rolled np and her hair down her back. Ho poor Fred always gives in, and the smiles a forgiving smile, puts np her hair, and groa off to buy tbo line silk or the set of jewelry thst has taken her fancy. And when she gets it eho keeps tight hold of it, too. Bhe has never given me even a enff button. Thnae always was stingy. And she is so atnek-np, because she has got a son. Jnst ns If it were something wonderful. Why, Mrs. Tubbs, our lanndress, has eight of them, besides one lhatwss drowned and one scalded, and ahe isn’t a bit set np. But Arethnsa says “my boy!” and does the mater nal all to plocea. Sbo thinks Alexis is mado ont of nloer materials than most babies, and I know rhe doesn’t believe the catechism whore it says he waa mado ont of the vulgar dost of the earth. I suppose she thinks rose leaves and corn starch were tuod to make np his delicate organization. It wonld relieve my feelings to seo a speck of dirt on that child's fsce; it makes mo ache to see him so painfully clenn. And aho thinks he is going to be a littlo Solo mon, or some bnmbng or other. Now, Allte, I have got a secret that yon mnsn'ttell a living sonh If you do I will never forgivo yon. I have promiied Monsieur Fon- buno to bo married in threo weeks, on my four teenth birthday, and if mother seems likely to object wo aro going to elopo, jnst like tbo girls In the novols. Won't it be splendid? Jnst think wbat a sensation it will make! The Chicago papers will be foil of it. “Elopement in high life. Tho lovely daughter of tbo rioh and ele gant Mrs. E h eloped with her teaober.” Poor Those wonld do high tragedy, wring her hands, and talk of the disgrace to thoir noble honse of Ellsworth. I should think her delicate ahonlders wonld ache from carrying onr noblo honso so long. Now, don’t yon breathe a word abont it, and I will stand by you if yon ran away with a shoeblack. Married at fonrteen! Jnst think! I shall boat Those ont and out. Then, too, aomething might happen to Monsionr Fontaine. Of coarse I wouldn't hnvo anything happen to him for tho world ; but then something might, you know— tho railroads are always smashing np; and if there should, why then 1 wonld be a yonng and intereating widow; and black crape with my fair oomplexion wonld bo so nweot, and O, Al ii®, do yon think that I am too young to wear a widow's cap ? What a blow that cap wonld bo to Arctbnaa! Sbo wonld rather receive a whole paper of neodles in her aide—that is, gold- beaded ones, not yonr common steel things. Now, AUie Wyndham, If yon tell yon'll be jnst os moan as yon can be. Celia Elllswosth (for a little while.) Faov Russia to India.—1L de Lo seeps, the builder of tbo Snez Canal, is to construct a rail- road from Orenburg to Poahawar, a frontier city of Afghanistan, and thus connect Boasts with India. The length of the. road will be 3,740 kilometres (abont 2,324 miles,) and tho lino will probably inn not between tho Black and Caspian seas through the Caucasus, but caatwsrdly from the Caspian either along its coast or farther east nlong tho thither aide of tho sos of Aral, np the Sir Daria, and thence by the great monntain rage of Middlo Asia in a wide bend past Bokhara, Herat, and Kabul. England may object to having Bnsaia have snch ready aocess to India, which might place Anglo- Indian land traffia nnder Hussion control, bnt U. de Lessepa is of the opinion that the con struction of such a road in Central Asia wonld pnt an end to tho antagonism between England and Kussia. Don't Swexb.—The President, if he drinks, don’t swear. The Washington Star has the fol lowing; “On Friday afternoon, before leav ing for Long Branch, ths President took a stroll along H afreet, and dropped in to see a friend, who is a well-known citizen of Washington. During hia stay the daughter of the gentleman referred to romarked that ahe had heard a pleasant thing abont him. The President In quired to what she referred. *1 have been told by an officer who served with you in the army,’ said she, ‘that he ha' been with yon nnder many trying circumstances and that in no siDgle instance, no matter what ths provocation, had ho ever known yon to mako nso of profane language. I was delighted to hear this, espe cially in view of the fact that profanity is said to be the rule and not the exception among army efffaerr. Will yon exonse me, Mr. Presi dent, if I inquire if what I beard is trne?' Tt is, I believe,' modestly replied the President. ‘I have always regarded profane language as unnecessary, tossy the least, and aa I am a man of few words, I have never been able to under stand the neoeesity for useless expressions of the charaoter referred to."

The oldest inhabitants are unable to give any aoeonnt of the mystie ‘money dig gers.’ The vein of ore has not yet been reached, bnt fragments of nearly pare silver, one of the pieces about the size of a walnut, have been taken or.:. The mine is in a cave, which opens in a cornfield on the land of 'Squire H. B. Ba ker. A hand-spike was fonnd which, beiDg picked np, crumbled into dust, showing that the length of time which has elapsed since the former wotl.ing cf the mine has been very great The disoovrry was made by Mr. Lord, liTing south of th6 river in this county.
