It cannot be denied that ranch work U still
seed! d upon tbo ■ reeta and tboronghfaree of the
eity, bat e neat deal baa been done, and utU
doae, end the preaent yntr bee been eingnlarly
probile nf atorma end ll'rOla whieb, where tbe
grtd'Dg ie eo defeetlre, mnet leave their trace*
behind. Macon ia built upon a succession of
biila, some of them ateep and almoet precipi
tous, and tbe coil ia of a porona, yielding nature
which resdtlf dieintegraiee and waabea away.
Anything lihe a baaty and anpei filial aklmraing
over tbe rnifece merely to repair break,, and fill
op bolae, by ordinary road hands, can only re
lieve Ibe dlfflznity temporarily, aa tbe first
heavy downfall of rain again displace! the loose
earth, cod tbe wotk ranat be repeated.
Tbe only effeotnal remedy Ie to ent down and
re face ee far aa practicable the grade of the
hills, end Interoept the anrfaoe water by a prop.
tr system of drain* and aewerage. This Mr.
Oeitin, tbe oontraotor, bee been essaying to do,
beginning with tboae street, which are the
greatest thoroughfare, of tbo city. His Idea,
and we believe it to be the correct one, is to fix
ptrmnnrntly, or as nesrly eo as possible, each
Important street, and in the meantime pnt oeca-
tlonal and temporary repair! elsewhere when
needed. This he bss faithfully endeavored to
do, and any one acquainted with Mulberry
■tract, the vicinity of the Southwestern Kail road
depot, and Ibe main dray route (o tbe business
portions of the city, will admit that the !m
provement is both dorabie and efficient.
Mention has already been mrdeof the work on
the oemetery highway, and the opening of the
new street which famishes a direet approach to
Wo Jeyan Female Oollrge, by penetrating and
reducing tbe almost preeipitons bluff directly
la front of ibe seminary. Mr. Gnetin baa other
important Improvements in view, bat of ooarae
witbthe limited force et his oommand, theao will
reqalrt some time for completion. It sbonld
be remembered, however, that In fntnre, bnt
comparatively little work will keep In good re
pair those thoroughfares which have chiefly oo-
oapied hla attention, ao that more time oan be
devoted to other puls of tbe eity.
Trable the means employed, however, conld
not In e single year repair tbe sidewalks, fill up
the gnlllen, and grade the immensely wide
streets, which are tbe most striking featnro of
Macon. Property bolder,, if they have not
pride anlfloient to do it themselves, as In North
ern citlea, ahoald be required to pave, or at
least keep in good order the sidewalks adjaoent
to ibeir iota. This wonld be a great relief to
Ibe pnblie pane. We have beard it stated also
that the drains and sewers of the eity sbonld
ran transversely, or at right angles to the river,
instead of almoet parallel for moat of Ibeir
length with I he stream. This ia a question to
be derided by oompetent engineers only, bnt a
somewhat cursory anrvey of the etreeta, inclines
ns to entertain a similar belief. Tbe drain pipes,
too, sbonld be of increased diameter to prevent
eboking or bursting after very heavy rains.
The whole question of street work and drain
age, la one of exceeding difficulty to (he author
ities, end et best art can never hope Wbiore
than approximate to tbe level thoroughfares
and paved aidewelke of Savannah, and other
cities, difierontiy situated as to location, and the
manner In wbloh they were originally laid oat.
Tet with all these disadvantages, who wonld
curtail themagoifloent proportions of onr beau
tiful streets and boulevards, or exchange tboae
lovely views and ooramanding locations, many
of them already crowned with palatial atrno-
tnrea, for the tamer if more convenient sites of
other oltlcaf
Let ns then be consent for Ibe preaent wlfb
our rongh streets, whoso width at least affords
abundant ventilation, and ara a anre protection
against extended conflagrations, and gradually
grade, pave and drain, as the means and oppor
tunity are afforded. Wo are satisfied Mr. Goa-
tin ia doing all in h!a power to fulfill his con
tract, and time will prove that the present is
the beat plan ever yet adopted for the perma
nent improvement of the sidewalks and tho
roughfares of the eity.

Ex-GoV ieuklaaon th* munition.
- The graceful and appropriate recognition by
the Legislature of the oourageor.s fidelity of
ex Gov. Jer.kin* to the people aud to popular
liberty, when both were trampled under feet
by the Federal Government, has been acknowi-
rdged by the ex Governor in a correspondence
which we reprint to-day.
Hla letter takes an encouraging view of the
fntnre. Ho does not believe that liberty and
its conalitntional guarantees are forever lost
and gone in the United Slates, because they
have been rudely violated and trampled down.
Nor do we. Oar mother oountry, to whom we
owe all tbe great mnniment* of elvil liberty,
saw herself two hundred year, ago, stripped of
every one of them by the sword in civil war,
and yet she won them all back in a few year,
without firing a gun, by the triumphs of peaoe.
War, with bnt few exceptions, has ever proved
tbe bene of civil liberty. It buries the rights
of the people, as well as their bodies, property,
happiness sod virtue nnder a surging tide of
blood, violence, disorder and destruction. It
substitutes hatred end the iron hand for the
arbitrament of heaven-born joatioe and benev-
olenoe, and straggles for mere personal deliv
erance, for tboae gedlike aspirations for Im
provement and progress, which ue the inspira
tion of peaoe.
Bnt there i, a wise practical suggestion in tbe
Governor’s letter which merits particolar notloe.
We refer to that one In whloh be says the eon*
stitntion and the connlry should never be con-
founded with the temporary administration of
the government. The oonstitntion, laws. Insti
tutions and ensigns of this mighty oountry are
still left to as, substantially unchanged, and aa
susceptible of glorious and benofloent results io
the fntnre as they have confessedly been in the
past. They sre and mast be ours in the fntnre
as they have been in the past; and it sbonld
therefore be a matter of principle on tho part of
tbe press, in ail their denunciations of the
tyranny and injustios with whieb these instru
ments snd ensigns have been or may be wielded,
to exoite no popnlar prejudice or disgust with
the things themselves. The latter may be, and
they will be, hereafter, the signs and symbols
of jnst and good government, ae tbey have been
heretofore. Let the effort rather be to remed
ies te tbe oonsUtntlon and the flag of the oonntry
to the same great endt of jnstloe, pesos and
beneficence to which onr fathers of glorious
memory onoe consecrated and bore them aloft
In trials and triumphs, which make up the
brighter record of tho Government.
A Model Banking Home.
The new and elegant building of the City
Bank of Maoon, whieb for several months past
has been rooeiving Its finishing tonobes, Is now
complete in every partlonlar, and Is at onoe a
credit to its projectors snd an ornament to tbe
eity. It ia not too mnoh to assert that for con-
vaolenoe, style and strength, its equal cannot
be found In the State.
Tbe banking apartment ia an airy, symmetri
cal chamber,!routing on Third street, with com
modious window, and large plate glass lights,
protected by a neat Iron railing on the ontsfde,
about rix feet in height Within, entering by
the front door, a spaoious hall or passage way
divides off tho banking-room and oommnni-
catea with the suite of apartments in the rear,
oomprising a convenient bnsinoai offlea, direc
tors’ obamber, water and washing closets, snd
last bnt not least the massive vault whose
wells of imooenae thickness sre wholly do-
taohed, ,o that no burglar’s implement from
without can even reach them. This eavemons
receptacle is entered by a heavy iron door with
lntrtoato fastenings, snd the interior Is Urge
enough to oontain shelves for ledgers and boxes
on deposit besides being famished with an
immense Herring’s safe, in which the bullion
snd enrrenoy of tho bank are kept. Tbe front
age of the ooantere of the cashier and teller Is
ornamented glass-work, very stylish and ele
gant and at the bottom of the window of each
of these cffieiols a broad and thick plate of glass
forms a abelf npon whiob bills, cheoks, eto.,
may be Uid and money counted. These give
quite a finish to the same.
Tbe entire furniture of the bank snd every
apartment, including decks, chairs, tables, so-
fas, etc., eras made to order of solid walnut,
highly polished mid elaborately carved. The
inside Venetian shutter, of the window, are also
of the same handsome material, snd the mantel-
piece* of variegated black marble, very tasty
and beantifnl. Two elegant gas chandeliers
are also pendant from the ceiling, and the di
rectors’ mom is covered with a rich Brussels
carpet, and prieenis a very attractive and ooiy
appearance. Indeed, as renfsrked In the out
set, the whole building and its appnrtenanoes
are models of convenience and eminently worthy
of the opulent owners and manager, of the
bank.
In another column will be found the card
giving tbe name, of the officers and director*
Of this institution, and the amount of its oap-
ltal stock.
Liroi numbers of ponies are shipped from
Ioeland to different ports in Bootland every
year. The first importation of inch live stock
this season—a lot of 320 ponies brought on a
tingle steamer—was landed at Granton two or
three weeks since. The importers leave the
tsrniea as late aa possible In the summer on
their native pasture* to reoeive the benefit of
the young grass. In this way they are shipped
when in good condition and are better able to
stand the long a>* voyage. A great many more
of these ponies are to U sent to Scotland later
In the summer.
Ms. A. T. Stiwist sailed in the Scotia last
Wednesday for a two month*’ aojonrn in Eu
rope. Notwithatending his late illness he leaves
in excellent health. Hit trip will include viatta
to London, Paris, Tienna, Switzerland and,
perhaps, Italy.
Migrations of the It lacks In tbe Month.
8ayn the Chicago Tribane of lost Thursday,
the Beauregard movement, tbe lestnres of
which were recently Indicated in hla pronnncla-
mento, eoem destined lobe realized, in one re
spect at least, namely, the eomplete Africaniza
tion of oertaln Sonlh-rn States, emong them,
Lonlaiana and Mississippi. Tbe former is al
ready virtually Africanize!, and Ibe latter rap
idly bcccming ao. Oaring tbe lant twelve
months, over 30,000 negroes have left the bills
of Georgia, where the soil la poor and unpro
ductive, and have swarmed Into the lowlands of
ibe Mississippi, where the prairies are rich in
soil and more easily cultivated. This incursion
of the negroes ia constantly going on, and with
increased rapidity. Tbe Memphis Appeal, in
a recent iaane. gives s very careful statement
of this segregation of raoea and its results. Tbe
tendency of the Africans is to the lowlands, and
of tho whites to the hills. With the aocumnln-
tlon of wealth, the wbltos fleck to tbe villages
and eitles and bnild new towns among tbe hills,
while the negroes pour steadily into tbe low
lands, where their toil ia the moat profitable,
and where thev will ultimately monopolize the
best ootton ard ungar.growing plantations. In
the same ratio that they concentrate, the whites
sre foroed nnt, and In many instances Ibe plant
ers are subdividing tbeir estates and sailing
to the freedmen, while in many others, where
the freedmen are in the majority, the taxes for
the mpp rt -if np;;-> I.ch inis nr! (ffiv h 1 !. r-
ao onerous that real estate becomes a bnr-
dm, and thus, by comr.r.l-ory (.sic-. Hio ne
groes become the owners as well as the tillers
of the soil. Lonieiana is hopelessly destined
to beeome a black State, aud the segregation
of the two raoee ia progressing ao rapidly in
Mississippi that the disposition to create a new
State west of the Tennessee and east of the
Mississippi river grows stronger end stronger.
A definite proposition has already been made
to annex to West Tennessee those counties of
Mississippi north of tho Tallahatchie river,
which wonld surrender the rest of the State to
neRro rule and occupation entirely. This wonld
lake from Mississippi the oonntiea nf Tunica,
DeSoto, Panola, Marshall, IUnten, Union, Tip
pah, Aloorn, Prentiss and Tisbmingo, and leave
tbe negroes in possession of at least five-sixths
of theStato, sod in complete control of the prai-
riee and valley lands. This proposition has
been very generally disonssed by tbe preea and
imong tbe people, and meals with very general
avor, especially in the northern oonntiea. Some
of tbe southern oonntiea obj eot that tbs northern
ones have no right to abandon the rest to the dom
ination of the negroes,towbicb they reply tbatthe
doom of the State ia sealed, and that they have
the right to provide for their own security.
Commenting npon the oondition of things, the
Appeal save s “Of course there ia much of all
this indicative of the coarse of fatnre rather
than of present events. Not tho lees earnest
among fhongblfol people ia the discussion of
facts and questions here presented, which Mis-
aisaippUns are accustomed to oonsider when
the migatory movements of raoea in tho Gnlf
Slates are closely serened. We only propose
to suggest, in view of these simple facts, that
if miaoegenation be deemed an objectionable
inoldent of Beauregard's scheme of fraternizi-
tion with blacks, that tho entire Reparation of
races ia infinitely more probable snd mnoh
more rapidly approaches flea! consummation."
As the first Rreat general remit of the emanci
pation of the colored race, this segregation of
races ia a fact which will be regarded with more
than usual interest, aa well as the new prob
lems which must grow out of distinctive black
governments in Statea, and tbo new commercial
questions wbieh will inevitably arise from the
new proprietorship of Southern industries.
It la a mistake that any nnmber of negroes
approximating SO,000 have left the State or
Georgia within the past twelve months. Per
haps 10 000 may have gone, and of these a good
many have come back by rail—hundreds of
others are straggling back on foot, aud no doubt
ninety-nine in the hundred of the remainder
are anxious to get back Speculation as to the
fntnre is rather idle. The general movement
of the black population of the Southern States,
tt seems to ns will be pretty steady towards the
southwest—directed not by the ambition of tbe
negroes to found black republics, bnt by agri
cultural aspirations of tho whites for the rich
crops from inexhaustible river allnvinms. The
cegroei will never of themselves found and en
gineer an E.hiopian State Government in this
oonntry, simply because they have not the men
tal capscity—the persistence and the construc
tive force to do it. They may gather In Missis
sippi, Louisiana and Arkansas in clouds, but
the white man must do the political engineer
ing for them, as well as the tax paying, or their
government will sink to a Congo levol. Such
appears to be the probabilities; bnt one thing
mty bo accepted aa certain—the negro as a
voter snd politician will prove as unsatisfactory
an element ia American politics ss he ever was
as a slave.
A Ttm* xsn Maosotczzt Flowxb —We had
an opportunity yesterday of viewing several
splendid and very perfect specimens of the
LSium Laneifolittm AVntm, a very rare and
delicate bulbous plant reared by Mrs. James
Campbell of this city. The roots were procured
in New York, and great pains taken in their cul
ture. The petals of this lovely variety of the
lily, are largo and most exquisitely formed, and
oropping forth from the spotless white field, a
large number of brilliant crimson dote appear,
which are rai»id above the surface, and resem
ble the softest velvet plash. The contrast is
almoet dazzling, and it is impossible to imagine
anything more chaste and beantifnl.
M— Campbell has also the pure white HIT
of the same description, which is very elegant.
These flower* are well worth a visit from thoee
who delight in the wonderful creations of na
ture’s laboratory, which art essays in rain to
imitate.
'OaaiD 'Or.—In London yesterday at noon
the mercury indicated 85 in the shade—a oom-
mon summer beat ia Georgia, and one which
would not inoommode ns—but such a tempera

-Vanity oljaaitlea,”
Saith the preacher—“All is vanity;*’ and then
tbe royal preacher proceeds to state, at some
length, bow ha bad exhausted the resources of
the whole esrth in the pursuit of personal en
joyment, and found, as the resnlt, only weari
ness of flvh and spirit. Bnt, undeterred by
his example, every generation since his time
has continued the same porenit by the aims
road, with ranch more limited sueoess, only to
make tbe same discovery at the end.
If there be one'mSn-.on earth.at this time,
pre-em'nent above all his fellows in the achieve
ment of personal mooses, sre suppose' all wonld
agree in pronouncing it to be tbe great Chancel
lor of the German Empire—Bismarck. And
yet bear him deliver himself, from the topmost
round of prosperity’s !adder, to a correspon
dent of the New York World of last Friday:
Yes, I bare grown weary; I confess it,” said
Pnnoe Bismarck. “It ia not only republics that
are nngratefnl; bnt I have never oared for grat
itude. I despise it; I don't believe in it. It is
not because I see that I am beooming unpopu
iar, and that I may era long find it expedient to
withdraw altogether from publio life, tbatlhave
grown weary, nor is it that I am becoming old.
Trno. I am almost sixty; bnt there is my Impe
rial master who ia seventy six, and the Pope,
who ia eighty-cue. That Pope, by the way. will
be live forever? It seems so, does it not? How
ever, it is not disgust at Ingratitude, norehagrin
st loss of faror, nor old tgs that makes me
weary—bnt weary I am.”
And then, after the introductory paragraph,
follows a conversation recounted in two columns,
in which the correspondent develops the more
special oocajion for tbe “expression of utter
and really helpless weariness of apirit” which
he read on the conntenanoe of the iUnstriona
Prinoe. It grew oat of the religions contro
versy In Germany, in connection with the ut
terly despotic and materialistic policy whioh the
Prinoe desired to enforce bnt found, himself
nnable to do so, on sooonnt of tbe powerful in
fluence and rapid progress of the Oatbolie
Ghnroh in Germany. Beferrlng to a previone
conversation with the same correspondent, the
Prinoe says:
“What we both saw then we both most see
now still more clearly. Our flaht is a little
more in the open now than it was then, bnt it
is tbe seme fight.”
“The fight of tbeEmpire against the Ghnroh,'
■aid I.
“That diffinition Is faulty because the limits
lion it suggests does not really exist. It ia the
fight of the State—empire, monaroby, or repnb-
lic—against God ; and in this fight the State
will get the worst of it unless it auoeceds in
destroying the idea of God snd pladng itself in
his place. Men siy that tbey most hsve some
thing to worship—well, then, let them worship
the State; let it be all in all; let it take the
plaoe of the family as well as of the Deity; let
it ie the Deity; let it be the only Providence;
let it provide everything for snd exact every
thing from the individual; let it preaoribe how
and when he shall be eonoeived and born; how
fed in his cradle and ednoated in his yonlh. how
long he (dial! servo as a soldier, what shall he
hie other life, when and whom he shall marry,
how many children he shall have, and, finally,
if need be, when he shall die.”
“Good for the state, all that,” said I, “bnt
what good does the individual get out of It ?’’
“There Is where we shall fail,” replied Prinoe
Bismarck; “althongb we might not fail if we
ooald educate the people in the right way for
two geherations, without the interference of
religions teachers. In two generations, if we
bad tbe field wholly to ourselves, we conld so
obliterate the idea of God and tbe imaginary
rights bestowed on man by him as their oreator,
that the substitution of the state in his place
wonld be effected, and the state, as in pagan
Borne, be all in alb"
‘Yon now nee the very phrase that yon em
ployed two years ago—‘the imaginary rights
bestowed by God aa tbe Creator.*"
“Yes; that has become a formal* of mine,
end it expresses much. The man who believes
in God reasons thns: 'God made me for his
glory and for my own temporal and eternal hap
piness ; that I may gain this, he prescribes the
da'ies that I owe to him, and tbe rights that I
am to peas css; no one must prevent my dis
charging these duties and enjoying these rights;
tbey depend on no human sanction and oan be
infringed by no bnman authority.’ This reason
ing is all fallacious, bnt the idea at the bottom
of it is tbe root of all aspirations for personal
freedom. It is the root of what one of yonr
American demagogues years ago called ‘the
higher law.* When one knows that God does
not exist, then he knows that no snoh lights
conld have been conferred snd no snoh dnties
imposed; in a word, that men have no rights
and are snbject wholly and rightly to tbe com
pulsion of foroe—be it force exerted by a ma
jority or by an antoera!—to the law of 'blood
and iron’ tf yon please.”
Here Prinoe Bismarck, rising from the sofa
on which he hsd been reolinlng, paced rapidly
np and down the room, ponriog opt sentence
after sentence of the most remarkable reasoning
and philosophy to which I have ever listened.
I have written, for my own fntnre use, oopiona
notes of all he said, bat I do not hers transcribe
them, partly beesnse of their length and partly
became of tbeir highly metaphysical character
which renders them nnfit for tbe columns of a
news journal. The seminal idea of the whole
was that the aspiration for liberty grew ont of
the belief for God; that It wonld be impossible
to make a perfectly r.nbservient people ont of
men imbned with tbe dogmas of Cbristianily;
and that, while all forms of Christianity were
alike fallacious, be cared to war against none
bnt tbit of tbe Roman Catholie Chnrcb. for the
reason that it alone was formidable. He aald:
“Nothing has amused me more than the
praises which I have received from the Protes
tant Christians of England snd America. The
asses! I have wished to crash Borne that I
might crash Ohristianily. They praise me for
my servio“s in tbe cause of what they call re
formed Christianity! If anything conld con
sole me for the chagrin which I foresee 1 am to
endnre for some time to came, it wonld be to
witness the amazement of these good friends
of mine when tbey understand tbe truth. Bat
understand it they never will—they are num-
sknlla.”
Prince Bismarck then, according to this in-
terviewer, goes on to explain how he has failed
to bring the Emperor folly np to this high
standard of a Godless Despotism—particularly
since his late narrow escape from death—which
has strengthened the infiuenoe of the Empress
and of religions ideas over him, and how, In spits
of the repressive measures of the Government,
the progress of Catholicism has been unpre
cedented in Germany.
It Is a queer disclosure, if a true one; and
we confess it harmonizes vary well with onr
conceptions of tbe sotnal developments of the
scope and tendency of Bismarck’s administra
tive policy for eight years past—a policy mak
ing everything subsidiary to tbe single idea of
national aggrandizement; and here, if one may
credit this interviewer, Biamirok is overwhelmed
with disgust st the apparent impossibility of
extinguishing nil sentiments of religion and all
considerations relating to, and founded npon a
fntnre and eternal existence, in the Interests of
‘German unity" represented by an iron-handed,
military, ail-oonqnering despotism. - No wonder
snch an idea shonld make any Prinoe or poten
tate weary. It onght to break his spirit or his
head, or both.

As far as my observation extends, and from

drought has injured the crops very mnoh, and
the corn has commenced firing, some stalks
nearly up to the. ear, and the need of rain ia
seen, through the entire neighborhood. It is
quite a gloomy time indeed with the farmers.
A great many of them have their crops nnder

Crops in Texas.
The Houston Telegraph, of the 15>h instant,
says tbe crop prospect io Texas is not a bright
one. Troo, a gotd crop of wheat bss been
made, and tbe must of it gathered without loss.
Corn, also, while cot at i s beet in all sections,
still promises a plentifnl yield; but ootton, the
great staff npon which Texas, with other South
ern States, still rests most of its aspirations for
wealth, will show a large failing off from the
average yield of the past fiye years. The early
spring was propitious for breaking lands and
securing stands, bnt the frosts oame, killed out
most of the young plants and necessitated re
planting, which made this crop three weeks
later than usual. Then came oontinnnns and
excessive rains, bringing up tbe weeds bl d grass
and preventing farmers from working their
crops, which soon became almost hopelessly
choked ont by this rank growth. And now,
since the rains have ceased and the weeds
been destroyed, the ootton plant is revealed
ith its spindling stalk and few long jointed
limbs, whioh calls for the most favorable
conditions henceforth to make it yield any.
thing worth mentioning. But there seems
bnt little or no prospect that these conditions
will transpire; for dronth ia already npon it,
and something far worse, the dreaded caterpil
lar. The genuine ootton worm is now devast
ating allot tbe lower Brazes oonntry, and has
appeared in many other plaoes as far np as
Washington oonnty. Ia the latter section its
ooming is three weeks earlier than nsnal, and
will consequently occasion greater disaster.
Coming this early, tbe warm will probably
sweep the entire S ate and inflict losses on up
land crops that have n-roit'ly escaped altogether.
So much for present prospects, and so mnoh for
the folly of turning a deaf ear to tbe oft re
peated injunction to place not yonr falthin oot

this fall we shall expect to find some at last who
will disoover wild >m in tbe system of diversified

A Man Boiled Alive In a Hot Spring.
From the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise, June 13.
A horrible accident oocnrred yesterday after
noon at fiifteen minntes before 3 o’clock at
Steamboat Springs, Washoe eonnty, whioh will
probably resnlt in the death of O. W. Cullen,
proprietor of the hotel and springs. Forth*
following particulars in regard to the affair we
are indebted to Dr. O. O. Green of this oity,
who was summoned by telegraph to the assist,
anoe of the scalded man. Mr. Cnllen was en
gaged in erecting a new bath house over a large
pool of boiling water for use in giving steam
baths. Timbers for tbe fonndation of the
structure had been laid across tbe boiling pool,
whieh is four or five feet in depth, snd Mr.
Cnllen hsd aralksd ont on one of these for the
purpose of arranging a cross-timber, when he
slipped and fell into the scalding water. The
water was so deep that it reaohed nearly to his
breast bone, and is so bot that an egg is
oooked In it in two minntes. When he fell
in it he waa either so frightened or felt snoh
pain that fora time he'seemed in a manner
paralyzed and isoapable of doing anything to-
ward getting ont. It is said that he was in the
spring folly half a minute before be got out,
which he did at last- through his own exertions
and the help of a man who came to his asaiet-
anoe. He was taken to the Hotel and stripped,
when tbe greater part of the skin slipped off
his body from near the breast bone downward,
tt A V. Putnam, 8t*te Printer, Jsmes Gray of
this city, and others who happened to be visit,
ing at the Springs, did all that eonld be done
for the suffering man pending the arrival of the
physician. They got a large quantity of floor
and packed him in it, and kept him in this eon-
dition until the doctor arrived. Dr. Green says
that the man may be said to be literally oooked
alive. As to whether he will live or not he can
not say, bnt appear* to think his reoovery wonld
be little’ahort of a miracle. Cnllen wa* in snch
agony that the doctor was obliged to giva him
very heavy doses of opinm to keep him at all
quiet. .

NISHT DISPATCHES.
End of an Tmportant*Flnnnclal Contest.
Waphekiton, July 21.—Col. Charles Case,
receiver of the Firat National Bank of New
Orleans, has jnst arrived, and reports to the
Comptroller of the Currency that he has Intel-
ligenoe from Messrs. Jevins & Byley, his solioi-
tors in Liverpool, that the Honse of Lords has
recently decided the last of a series of chancery
oases in hk favor, thns securing some seventy
thousand dollars or more to tbe fund for the
general oreditora of the bank.
Col. Case may justly congratulate himself
upon this result. When the bank failed aome
six years sinoe sundry oreditors who bad bought
its bills on the Bank of Liverpool sought to se-
onre payment of their claims in fall, by insti
tuting proceedings in ohancery in England, by
which they tied np, pendente suit, and hoped
finally to appropriate between $200,000 and
$300,000 then on deposit in the Liverpool
Bank, npon tbe theory that there had been a
specific appropriation of funds to pay the sev
eral bills as tbey were negotiated. They seem
ed confident of sucoees, and many other crediors,
and even some eminent lawyers, were more
than fearful that this large enm wonld be lost
to the general fand; bat the reoeiver, after a
oarefcl consideration of tbe faots, concluded
that the units onght to be defeated, both
because these faots did not warrant tho theory
of any speoifio appropriation, and becanse it
wsb not within the powers of a national bank
to make snoh an appropriation in a time bill
as against the contingency of its own interve
ning insolvency. He resolved, therefore, to
oontest the cares, and did so. Tbe decision of
the vice ohanoellor was adverse to him. He
appealed, and some two years einoe the Lord
High Chancellor and three judges, with him sit
ting, prononnoed elaborate opinions, reversing
the aloe chancellor’s decrees, snd decreeing the
money to be paid to tt^e reoeiver.
Alt bnt two of the claimants aoqniesoed in
this deoree. These two, aotihg, as is under
stood, npon the advioce of Hon. J. P. Benja
min, formerly United States Senator, now prac
ticing barrister and Queen's counsel in London,
took an appeal to the Honse of L ird-t, thns
tying np £150 000 of tbe fand two years longer.
This appeal, after the most elaborate argument
on behalf of the appellants, has just been dis
missed with oosft, and the reoeiver, after six
years’ fighting, from the lowest to the highest
ohenoery tribunal in England, ts finally com-
pletely successful.

MIDNIGHT -DISPATCHES.
Tbe Brooklyn Trust Company.
New Yobk, Jnly 21.—The following are the
latest facts and rnmore as to the affairs of the
Brooklyn Trust Oompany: That the oapital
stock of the oompany was half a million, but
thi«, it is said, has all been absorbed. There
is three hundred thousand dollars worth of what
may be oonsid-red worthless loans. The de
falcation of Mills is between $150,000 and
$200,000. Mr. Ktdmsn’s loans are $34,000.
Sr the prospect of deoositors realizing any
thing for some time is not considered very
goo-l-
Lust Friday or Saturday Mills stated to hts
son that he felt worried about his accounts in
the Trust Ootupsny; that it was overdrawn.
His son then said to him: “Father, you had
better attend to that at once; something might
h&poen to von.” He replied: ‘Til look into it
right away.”
He acoording'y made arrang-ments with a
capitalist—a relative—for a loan to cover his
account with the Trust Oompsny, which was to
have been negotiated on Tuesday, the day of
his death.
It is stated that *hre« months ego Mr. Lowe
resigned the Vice Presidency on the score of ill-
health. A few we-ks sinoe it was suggested by
Messrs. Chsuucy, Bockwell and othe s that it
wonld be well to investigate the affairs of the
oompany in order that some decision might be
made as to Georgia and railroad bonds, and
their true valne ascertained. Mills ohj'cted ard
tried to postpone the investigation, althongb,
at the time, no defalcation on his part was sus
pected. In thk objeotion he was supported by
Bodraan, the score:ary.
There appears to have been occasional dis
cussion among the directors aud minority men,
called by Milk and Bodmsn “the Mechanics’
Back gang.” Monday last, before his death,
the former requested that investigation be post
poned. Bodmin says be, the (President,) ez-
peoted to reoeive $34 000 on the following day,
and the direotors are of the opinion that, on
Monday, he fonnd he wonld be disappointed.
When it was discovered that irregularities ex
isted the secretary admitted that Mills’ acoonnt
was overdrawn, bnt said $75,000 would cover
the defalcation. He said when the irregulari
ties oemmenoed he remonstrated with Mills,
who replied, invariably, that he did not want to
hear anything about it, aa it wonld be all right
before long.
The oompany bas also loaned smaller sums of
money, no doubt full $70,000.

A REMARKABLE CODKTNHIP.
How a Guileless Professor Proposed and
. was Accepted In nn Hour.
A correspondent of the Indianapolis Herald
telk the following anecdote of Prof. Poster,
who filled with mneh ability one of the chairs
of the Faculty of the ooliege in Enoxviile, Ten
nessee:
Prdf. Foster wssweli educated in the sciences
usually taught in colleges, bnt his ignorance
of the common affairs of life rendered him a
remarkable man, furnishing a rare snbjeet for
the stndy of human nature in one of its multi
form phases. Being advised by some of hie
friends to get married, he, with childlike faith
and simplicity, accepted their advioe, and prom
ised to do so if he oontd find a yonng lady wil
ling to have him. They referred him to a num
ber of tbe best yonng ladies in the oity, any one
of whom, they had no donbt, wonld be willing
to aceept his hand and make him happy. He
was one of the most kind hearted of men, ns
void gt guile as of offenoe, and an entire stranger
to the forms and ceremonies of modern court
ship. He oonldn't see the necessity of consum
ing a year or two in popping the question—
“Sally, will yon have me ?” So he went that
very day to the residence of tbe nearest yonng
lady who had been oommended, and being wel-
oom m! and Bested In tbe family cirele, as he
always was wherever known, he at onoe made
known tbe objeot of his visit by saying in a
clear and dktinot voice:
“Well, Miss Sarah, my friends have advised
me to get married, recommend you and a num
ber of other yonng ladies to ma aa suitable per
sons, and I have now called to see if yon are
willing to marry me.”
Had an earthquake violently shaken the prem
ises, the household oontd not have been more
astonished. Like a frightened roe, Sarah start
ed to run, when her mother caught her, and
said: “Why, ohild, don't be frightened, the
Professor won’t hnrt yon.”
Being again seated, a deep blush succeeded
the paleness whioh had been canted by the
startling announcement, and she rallied enongh
to be able to say to the Professor that as his
proposition wag entirely unexpected, she mnst
have some time to consider the matter. This
he granted, bnt said:
“As I am anxions in ease of yonr refnsal, to
see the other yonng ladies to-day, I can wait
only one hoar for yonr answer.”
Knowing the worthiness, sincerity, and sim
plicity of the Professor, the matron took her
blushing daughter np Btairs for consultation,
while the father was left to entertain hk pro
posed son-in-law as best he conld nnder the
novel oireumstancea. Of coarse the discussion
of the sadden proposition between Sarah and
her mother was private and cannot be given in
fall. The most essential points of it, however,
were told afterward. It was readily admitted
t&at he was entirely worthy of Sarah’s hand and
heart.
“But, mamma,” said Sarah, “how wonld it
look to other people for me to have to give an
anawer in one short hoar—only sixty minuteB—
jamp at a hasty chance—and to think how my
yonng frlenda wonld jeer and laugh at me.
Wouldn't they tease me to death ? No, ma, I
oan never faoe that musio.”
“Bat stop, my child, and listen to me. There
is not a yonng lady in the oity that wonld not
jump at the offer made you. Let them laugh.
Girls mnst have something to laugb at, bnt it
won’t hart you. Tell him yes, emphatically. If
he were a stranger whose antecedents were un
known to ns, however prepossessing in person
and manners, or profuse in his professions of
love, I wonld withhold my consent. But we
have long known him, hk moral character ia
without reproach, he is amiable, kind-hearted,
and sinoere, a fine scholar, with an honorable
position in the ooliege, and he makes no false
preteuoes. Ton know just what he is. What
more do you want ?”
“Bnt, mamma, I don’t know that he loves
me, he hasn’t even said so.”
“O, well, daughter, never mind that. Gen
erally, those who are londest in tho professions
of love have least of tbe pare article. Yon can
teach him by example to love you. It is far
better than precept.”
Leaning her head npon her mother’s bosom,
Sarah said, in a submissive tone:
“Well, ma, j ost aa you say—I’ll tell him yea;
but, althongb the hour isn't half ont, we'll not
go down, until the last minute of the hour."
At the expiration of the fifty-ninth minute
they returned to the Professor snd papa, Sarah
still blushing, but more calm than before. Then,
with a firmness that astonished herself as well
aa her parents, she extended her hand to the
Professor sod ssid:
“Yea, sir, if papa consents.”
He gave his oonsent without hesitancy, and
it was readily agreed by all that the wedding
shonld take plaoe a week from that time. Then
Professor Foster, with his nsnal calmness, eon-
aeiens of having done bk duty, withdrew to
report progress to his friends.
Well, in dne time the Profeaeor went to the
clerk for hk lioenae. The clerk informed him
that the law required a bond and security in the
sum of $1,250, to be void on oondition that
there wee no legal objection to tbe proposed
onion of the two persons named. The Profes
sor very promptly replied: “Oh, never mind
the bond, Mr. Clerk; I will pay $1,100 down,
and will hand yon the balance in a day or two.”
After further explanation by tbe clerk, the
Profeaeor soon complied with the law end ob
tained his lioenae.
At the appointed time the wedding came off
in the beet style of tbe oity, and tbe oompany
enj eyed the occasion with the greatest zaat.
The boors How like humming bud,. Aa tbe
clock strnok twelve Ut.i Professor picked up bk
hat and started to his .boardirg honso. Hk
principal attendant, surmising nis intention,
followed to the front door and informed him
that matrimonial etiquette require! him to stay
and board aud lodge at the house of his father,
in-law nntil he and his wife wished to live by
themselves; that he won'.d be furnished with a
room adj roent to Sarah’s room, in order that, if
she happened to get Jhir-ty, he might be near
to get her a drink of fresh water.
In the morning the bride and groom were
greeted with tha smiles of the family, together
with those of some early callers, and inquiries
were made if they had slept well. Both re
sponded that they had never slept sonndor in
their lives, ho adding, with his childlike’sim-
plioity, that he w is happy to Bay Sarah did not
call for water daring the whole night. That last
remark vras quite a riddle to her, and she looked
enriens, bnt said nothing, no ope venturing to
ask him to rise and explain. He did not know
it waa a joke played npon him until !he attend'
ant told :t aa tn:h to tbe company.
Finally the happy couple went to housekeep
ing, and never were man and wife more heart
ily congratulated or more highly esteemed than
they were. They were the favorites in the city.
Naver was wife more lovely or hnsband more
kind and devoted, but be didn't know anything
abont providing for the larder, only as Sarah
taught him. One little incident may suffice to
illustrate. She told him one day to get some
rioe. He went immediately to the atore and
told tbe clerk he wanted to get some rioe.
“How much ?’’ inquired the olerk. ‘ Oh, not
much.” said tbe Professor, “I reckon three or
four bushels will do for the present.” The olerk
was very sorry to say they had not so mneh on
hand, but that they wonld soon have more. The
olerk persuaded him to try to make ont for a
few days with some fifteen or twenty ponnds.
Sarah and the cieik were not the only ones who
langhed over the incident. He never oalled for

A REM ark able case of human endurance is
reported from Lancaster oonnty, Pennsylvania':
William Moyer, living near Adimstown, was
piereed through the body with a scythe, on the
24-iinlL, and the wound oaused thereby ex
tended from his right side, above his hip, to his
left side, below the arm-pit. Tbe gash at the
entranoe of the instrument was five and a half
inohes in length, and at the point of exit waa
one and a half inches long. The lobe of the
right Inng was pieroed, and, although hla frlenda
have dep&ired, his pbjBiciau states that, it in-
flimmation does not set in, there is a prospect
of his recovery.
