Marietta Journal: Mr. Cyrus Dial’s gold
nunc, twt lvo miles from Marietta, in Chero
kee county, is turning out gold in surprising
Suantities. It is by far the richest mine
iscoverod in Georgia. The dirt in bis yard
and garden are literally full of particles of
the precious stufl'. Mr. John Durham visited
Mr. Dial’s place, and be iuforms us that he
saw Mr. Dial take a frying pan full of dirt
from his garden aud from it lie extracted
one pennyweight of gold, while from two
small rocks he got two pennyweights with
out any trouble. Gold as largo as grains of
wheat shine in the rocks, true indications of
abundance. Mr. Durham says in two hours’
time Mr. Dial washed out eight dollars
worth of gold. We have two specimens
from this mine. Mr. Dial was a poor man,
but he now finds himself suddenly rich.
Atlanta Herald : Yesterday wo had a talk
with Andrew Bates, Esq., relative to a gold
mine out in Douglas county, of which he has
recently become part owuer, in connection
with Gen. Barnes and Dr. Hape. The mine
has been iu operation bv Messrs. Lawrason,
Blanchard and Cos., uutil they sunk all the
monev at their command. Gen. Barnes has
an old California miner with him, who had
been out iu Douglas prospecting when he
came across this mine. He examined it and
found it would “pan out. - ’ He told the Gen
ral, and he told Mr. Bates, knowing that he
bad plenty of funds at his command, and
then they’told Dr. Hape, because he knew
all about gold. One day last week
this party got a phaeton and went
out to the mine and prospected for a couple
of days. They fouud a rich vein of gold
quartz of about half a mile in length. The
old miner said he knew of but one mine
richer than tuis one promised to be. and
that was in California. The result was
General Barnes, Mr. Bates and Dr. Hape
bought out the machinery of the old firm,
and closed a contract by which they be
- lessees of four hundred acres of the
land for ten years. Mr. Bates was induced
to engage in the enterprise through the
judgment of Gen. Barnes and Dr. Hape.
They will invest shout 120,000 to begin
with, bnt will increase it if the prospects
warrant it.

It is stated that Judge Hopkins, of the

The Hinesville Gazette says that it is a
general complaint that the rice crop,
although nearly up to the average yield in
quantity, is rather of poorer quality than
usual. In weight, it does not uorne up to
the standard by several pounds. This is
attributed to the dry weather just as the
grain was filling out. Down on the imme
diate coast, and on the rice lands of the
Altamaha in Malntosb, the rice crop is ex
cellent, equal both in quantity and quality
to the crop of any preceding year.

were entirely destroyed, together with about
five stacks of fodder, and some fattening
hogs that were in their beds under the crib.
The loss falls with crushing weight upon

Atlanta Constitution: Mr. G. A. Miller,
tho veteran journalist of Columbus, climbed
our long flights of stairs this morning. Wo
were glad to see him looking so well. He
had just come from Crawfordsville, aud from
Mr. Stephens, whom he has been assisting
during the past eight mouths in his work
on anew cyclopedia. Mr. Miller is not san
gtiiuo about Mr. Stephens's speedy recovery
from his latest attack. He certainly will
not he able to go to Washington before Jan
uary, and it is icared that even then he
will not not he strong enough to undertake
the journey. Mr. Stephens is becoming ad
vanced in years, and this no doubt operates
to make his recovery less spoody. While all
who understand ins case believe that ho
inay bo spared to Georgia several years to
come, yot none aio very confident that he
will be strong enough to take bis seat in
Congress this winter, aud stand its discom
forts and excitements.

LiGrange Reporter: Gentle reader (we
know you are gentle), who do you suppose
are the funuiest meu in Georgia ? Not Hav
erley’s Minstrels, not John Robinson’s
clowns, not even the candidates for Gover
nor. The trustees of the University of
Georgia are just now the funuiffst meu on
tho planet, Evorv man of them ought to
have a cap and boll*, and spoiled breeches.
They have melded that no student at the
University shall pay more than twenty dol
lars a month for board, aud ono day
last week the students were hauled
up before the faculty aud put on
oath as to the amount they are pay
ing. Some of them had paid for months
ahead and mado various other arrange
ments which they could not conveniently
chango; but everything had to yield be
fore tho inexorable fiat of the trustees. Of
course no one will blamo tho trustees for
this rule. It is impossible for a boy to get
au education if he pays twenty-one dollars
a month for board. Tho trustees ought to
go farther; they ought to ordain that no
student shall pay more than twenty cents
for a box of paper collars; that no one
shall buy more than three pints of goobers
per week; that lager must sell three
glasses for a dime ; and that no student shall
treat another, except on borrowed money.
These and other equally important regula
tions will suggest themselves to tho minds
of tho trustees if they would givo the sub
ject proper consideration. We beg to sug
gest these changes. But speaking serious
ly, every friend of tho University of Geor
gia must feel grieved at the manner in
which the trustees havo been conducting
the affairs of tho institution for some time
past. They have allowed the two strongest
men in the faculty to lcavCj and now they
seem bent on bringing the institution into
contempt aud actually impairing its useful
ness.
On the 17 th proximo John B. Pet tv will be
hung for murder committed iu the year 1864.
His trial took place a fortnight since at St.
Mary s, aud though defended by"able coun
sel, the evidence was so clear, aud the com
mission of tho deed so well established by the
oonfi ssious of tho culprit, that his late is de
cided beyond peradveuture. Tho facts in the
in the ease carry ono back to the dark days
of the late war, and is only ono of hundreds
that might be brought to light. Petty was
a private in the Fourth Georgia Cavalry,
and was with that command
at Charleston, and deserted from it with a
fellow-soldier named Floyd Williams. Up
to this time they had proven themselves to
be brave and gallant men. Elbert Allen,
also a private in tho samo command, and
being in the samo county (Camden) in
which they had enlisted, was detailed to ar
rest them, aud proceeding to their homes,
captured them and carried them back.
Floyd Williams soon after died, and his re
latives attributed his death to his returning
to camp. Petty soon after deserted tho
time. In December, 1864, Allen was
gran tea _ f, ir i o ugh to come home to attend
to some private -fl Airs but hearing that
threats had been made againsv uim nj p e j.
ty. ho sent word to him that he
was aoCroJming after him. It seems, how
<??r, that his enemy had determined to re
veuge himself even unto death; and while
Allen was driving along the road from Jef
forsonton to his farm with provisions ior his
family, he was ambushed by Petty and
James E. Williams, 'a brother of Floyd) and
killed by a shot from the former’s gun, Wil
liam's gun missing fire. Poor Allen’s little
son was the only witness to the bloody
deed. In the then unsettled state of tho
country, the killing went unpunished; but
as order was restored, Petty, who in the
meantime had married " the widow
of his deceased comrade, Floyd Wil
liams, left the country. Years passed by
and Allen’s son had come to man’s estate,
and determined, if possible, to bring his
father’s murderer (who had often boasted
of his bloodv work) to trial, and tracing
him to Florida had him arrested on a re
quisition from the Governor of this State,
and brought to trial. He was defended
by good counsel, his wife selling the last of
her estate to save him, but without avail.
James E. Williams, who was also tried, was
acquitted, as thero was a doubt iu his case,
though wo understand that Petty has made
a statement, in which ho said Williams was
present, but did not fire at Allen, as his gun
would not go off. Thus a bloody deed,
commuted in December, ISO 4, will be ex
piated eleven years after.
Atlanta correspondence Augusta Chroni
cle: There are no new developments of im
portance touching the treasury difficulty.
The Governor, of ourse, can take no action
and express no opinion until the ten days’
notice has expired. In the meantime the
receipts of money from the various tax col
lectors throughout the State are deposited
for safety in one of the city banks. A num
ber of Mr. Jones’s friends are in almost duly
consultation, and even should the Treasurer
fail or decline to renew or strengthen big
bond, they claim that he will have abundant
proof to establish to the satisfaction of
all that be has been guilty of no wrong;
indeed, that he has been far more unfortu
nate than culpable, and that if be has been
guilty of negligence and lack of proper
vigilance, it was such negligence as he could
not well avoid. They even intimate that
they can account for the payment of the
1150,000 of bonds twice in| a manner that
will relieve Mr. Jones in a great degree of
the blame and responsibility in the matter.
The ten days’ truce, however, will soon ex
pire, when the result will be known. There
is no sort of probability that the Legislature
will be called together earlier than usual, for
there will hardly occur any such emergency.
If CoL Jones cannot make his bond, it is
not apprehended that he will make any re
sistance to the procedure of the Governor to
enforce the law and declare the oflice vacant.

Sketches of Incident and Adventure
BT M. B. GRANT. (PAUL TRANSIT), CIVIL EN
GINEER.
PART HI.
Before describing the Swamp, I wish
to refer to the section of country sur
rounding it in Georgia, and generally
known as the “wire-grass region,” and
more especially that portion in imme
diate proximity to, or in easy aocess of,
the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, which
passes directly through it. Erroneous
impressions have existed as to the true j
character of this section and its ad- ]
vantages for settlers, those only
having been correctly informed
in regard thereto who have
had the opportunity of traversing it
leisurely. The Gulf Road may properly
be said to enter this wire grass region
after crossing the Altamaha river, and
leaving it when the oak and hickory
lands of Southern Georgia are reached,
in Lowndes county, though a much
larger area to the west and south has
been inclnded in speaking in general
terms of the “ wire-grass region.”
This whole country is heavily tim
bered with the best of yellow pine,
and probably embraces as large an
area of timbered land, in one body,
as can be found in the South.
The whole country is well watered by
streams, many of them abounding in
fish. No section can equal it in health
or surpass it in climate. Between the
Little and Big Satilla rivers and in the
vicinity of these streams the surface is
rolling, having a subsoil of clay, -and
well adapted to the growth of all varie
ties of fruit. From the Satilla to the
Alapaha the surface is flat, though ele
vatod. Beyond the Alapaha the surface
is again rolling. The soil is good'
throughout, and with proper at
tention well repays cultivation. Every
where corn, cotton, sweet pota
toes and sugar cane are raised, and
also vegetables in abundance. For farm
ing and stock-raising generally, the as
sertion can safely be made, that it has
every requisite. It is true that richer
soils can be found in other and less ex
tensive regions, but whose very rich na
tural soil is the sole consideration, it of
ten happens that other and even greater
advantages are not to be found. To the
permanent settler, the combination
of the greatest number of advan
tages must control, and most
important among these is health. The
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad has already
accomplished wonders in the develop
ment of this whole country, and the
work is still going on and the settlers
coming in. This railroad is a silent but
potent feeder to Savannah, and must be
relied on as a main support, and it is to
be hoped that every encouragement and
inducement will be given for its further
extension and increased prosperity.
The same character of timber and soil
extend to the borders of the Okefeenokee,
where we again find ourselves in the
“Cow House.” On the Monday following
our arrival at the Swamp, we employed
ourselves in cleaning up and adjusting
our instruments, and making other
needed preparations for commencing our
survey.
The following extract from the report
of the Chief Engineer will explain the
method adopted for conducting surveys
and explorations:
In order to obtain the knowledge
requisite to effect the objects of the sur
veys, it was evidently necessary to ascer
tain the size and shape of the Swamp,
and the difference of elevation of its sur
face at different points, as nearly as prac
ticable. On our first arrival in the
Swamp iu what is called the “ Cow
House,” on its northeast side, I found by
actual trial that the level could not be
run over that portion of it, in the ordi
nary manner, on account of the
yielding and tremulous character of
the soil. The difficulty consisted in
the fact that the instrument could not be
made to retain a level position long
enough to take the necessary back and
foresights. This I afterwards found to
be the case with the whole of the eastern,
aud, indeed, of most other parts of qt,
though perhaps in a less degree. Th©
greater portion of the Swamp is also cov
ered by a very dense undergrowth, which,
with the difficulty already mentioned,
would have caused it to consume a great
deal of time to make any extensive
examinations of the interior with the level.
Under these circumstances, I concluded
that as it would be necessary to run a com
pass line around the whole Swamp in or
der to ascertain its size and shape, it
would be advisable to run a correspond
ing lifts of levels, aud take the level of
its edg* at many different points. From
these I believed that a sufficiently accu
rate knowledge of the relative elevation
of different portions of its interior might
bo obtained to answer the purposes of an
experimental survey. If the Swamp should
hereafter be drained, it will, of course,
be necessary to make more thorough
and minute instrumental examinations.
In running the line around the swamp,
station stakes with their respective num
bers upon them, were driven in the
ground every quarter of a mile, aud there
were permanent marks (technically called
benches) made upon trees every three or
four miles for future reference. The
latter will be useful as starting points for
any lines of levels that may hereafter be
run.
It being one of the objects of the
survey to ascertain the 1 character of the
interior of the Swamp, three principal
explorations of it were made. The first
nearly through the centre from west to
east, the second through a considerable
portion of the southern part of the
swamp, and the third across it from west
to east, some miles north of the first.
We also penetrated it for several miles at
different points on the east side, and ex
plored the two prongs of the Suwannee
three or four miles above their point of
junction, where that river runs out of
the swamp on the west side.
A ridge varying in height from twenty
five to thirty-five feet above the swamp
runsalong the eastern ridge of it for many
miles, and separates it from the St.
Mary’s after that stream returns from its
great detour to the south, and from
Spanish Creek, which runs into the St.
Mary’s from the north, at a point nearly
opposite the middle of the Swamp. To
ascertain tUo most favorable point for
cutting through this ridge these lines were
run across it from the swamp, viz :
one to the bed of Cow House Creek; one to
Stanley’s branch, and down the latter to
the St. Mary's, and the third and most
northern one to Spanish Creek. Besides
Suwannee, Cane and Surveyors’ Creeks,
the Suwannee river receives the waters of
Alligator and Gum Swamp Creeks, and
of the Double Branches, the two former
reaching far back into the country, and
the three last of which run into the
northern part of the Swamp. The
Suwannee river, in a distance of fourteen
miles from where it leaves the Swamp,
falls some thirteen feet. In times of
high vi p.ter its surface, where it runs out,
is above the adjacent swamp, and thus it
fails to furnish a free outlet for the
waters of the Swamp when it is most
needed. The same difficulties attend the
other great outlet ef the swamp, the St.
j Mary's river, at the extreme southern
| end of the swamp. This river receives
all the wat.;r that flows into the swamp
on its east side, besides all the rain water
that falls on that portion of the swamp.
The line of levels which was run around
the whole swamp and connected with
tide-water in the St. Mary’s river, near
Trader’s Hill, furnishes the following in
formation in regard to the elevation of
the surface at different points: The high
est point of the swamp is at its northern
extremity, where it is 126$ feet above
tide-water. Near Ellicot’s Mound, where
the branch of the St. Mary’s leaves the
swamp, it is 111 A. A nearly uniformde
scent continues to the southeast corner of
the Swamp. Where the Snwanne comes
out of the Swamp on the west, it is about
110$ feet.
The length of the Swamp from north
to south is 39$ miles, and its greatest
width 255. The whole area of the Swamp
is abont 100,430 acres, of which about
5,530 lie within the State of Florida, and
394,900 in Georgia. It is estimated that
the Suwannee river now drains an area
of swamp and the adjacent conntry to
the extent of 428,000 acres. It is also
estimated that the St. Mary’s at EUicot's
Mound now receives the drainage of
176,000 acres.
Such information of a statistical na
ture, as was considered proper and
necessary to a comprehensive nnderstand
ing of these sketches, has been drawn
from the official reports of our surveys.
The proposed plans of drainage, esti
mates of cost, analysis of soil, tabular
statements, etc., properly belong only to
the official document, andln this connec
tion I desire to state, that the report of
Col. Richard L. Hunter (CoL Watch
overall), is thorough and exhaustive of
the subject, and will prove of great value
should the drainage of the Swamp be
undertaken.
To those who may be sufficiently inter
ested in these sketches, reference to a
map of the Swamp will aid very much as
to locations and surroundings.

House, and not far from our camp, we
discovered an Indian mound, some dozen
feet in diameter and three or four feet
high, which, answering our purpose ex
actly, we determined to adopt as zero
(starting point for our surveys). This
mound was, in general character, similar
to others that we found in different parts
of the Swamp, differing only in size and
shape, and containing human bones very
much decayed, together with Indian ar
row points made of flint rock, pieces
of clay pottery, etc., which are to be
found in nearly all of them. The Indians
evidently used stone hatchets lor chop
ping, which fact was confirmed by the
jagged appearance of the stumps, where
trees had been cut off by them, as also
in the case of notches cut by them in
trees which were discovered in different
parts of the Swamp.
Our anxiety to enter the Swamp had
reached fever heat, and the Colonel con
sented to our immediate exploration as
far in as the Double Branches, before we
should commence our surveys, at the
same time expressing the hope that
we would always be as anxious to
go on an exploration when required. The
party were a unit as to going in, with
the exception of Adam, who said it was
not his business, and Brahma, who evi
dently imagined that he had discovered
something ominous as to the future in
the Indian mound and its contents. He
had grave suspicions that all the Indians
were not dead and buried in similar
mounds, that some were yet in the
Swamp, and he even went so far as to
assert that on the previous night he had
the barking of dogs in
the Swamp, which he knew were Indian
dogs by the very bark. We mildly sug
gested that it might have been Boots,
but he indignantly refuted the idea of
Boots going into the Swamp alone ; and
possibly, his conclusions as to our valor
ous Boots were correct.

Washington, November 18, 1875.
THE KING OF THE LOBBY.
Sam W’ard has already opened the season
by giving an entertainment, at Welcker’s,
to a distinguished set. He did not feed
them on “ pigs’ ears,” perhaps because he
thought each one had enough of that arti
cle. He had at the dining Lord Houghton,
Gen. Garfield, Chief Justice Waite, Justice
Field, Sir Edward Thornton, Justice Brad
ley, Attorney General Pierrepont, Dr. Lind
erman, Director of the Mint; Justice
Swavne, Secretary Robeson, Prof. Rogers,
Don Louis Do Potestad, Secretary of Span
ish Legation, and Assistant Secretary of
State Cadwalader, as well as a sprinkling of
minor lights. Sam distinguished himself
in Pacific Mail lobbying, and it is edifying
to observe how the powers, in recognizing
Sam, also recognize the lobby crowd of
which he has the lead. Chandler, Bristow
and Jewell were neglected in the invita
tions, being below the Ward standard, and
Belknap couldn’t attend, being too busy in
arranging the expenditures of the War De
partment.
THE SPEAKEKSniP.
The candidates for the Speakership are
thickening up, but Kerr, of Indiana, seems
to be ahead oi all competitors, although
Randall claims to have the South with him.
Piatt has been pitching into Randall heavily
for something, but that does not hurt him.
Sunset Cox will furnish the fun of the race,
and is certain of his own vote. Gilbert C.
Walker, of Virginia, is put forward as being
a handsome man,who would, in the Speaker’s
chair, accord nicely with the upholstery and
please the ladies in the gallery. Fernando
Wood has plenty of dignity, but too much
‘New York” to be seriouslv thought of.
But when the battle opens a split may ensue,
and some other whom the knowing onea
have’Jiot yet brought forth may be the man
choseii). Blaine will have to guerilla a>-ound
the floor hereafter, and Strabismus Ben will
haunt tlie lobby.
OFFICES.
The bsst positions in the gift of the
House are', Sergeant-at-Arms, in which
office Ordwaiy has raked in a fortune ;
Clerk, whereNMcPherson, of Pennsylvania,
lias gathered fp a handsome estate ; Door
keeper, in which\ Buxton has managed to
lay by enough to ffeep want from the door,
and Postmaster—Bill-King’s happy place—
where Sherwood has aiso managed to find a
stock farm. The Clerk'lbas forty-seven per
sons on his rolls, this Sergeant-at-Arms
three, the Door-keeper 'twenty-six, and the
Postmaster ten. There due also twenty
eight committee clerks, making t-be total
patronage of the House one hundred arid
fourteen. There are in this District, ac
cording to the ninth census, 33,329 voters.
Of these 10,143 are ‘‘ring, streaked and
speckled,” leaving 23,178 white voters. Of
these latter 3,000 are employed directly or
indirectly by the government, 178 are living
on their means, orj outside ot government
patronage, aud tho remaining 20,000 are
looking for the one hundred and fourteen
places in Congress. But Maryland and Vir
ginia are in arms for the places which they
say the District has held long enough. Ste
venson Archer,late member of Congrc ss from
Maryland, wants to be Clerk, and is opposed
by G. C. Wedderburn, of Virginia, while the
same prize is also sought after by G. M.
Adams, of Kentucky, A. D. Banks, of Missis
sippi, Gen. Dußose, of Georgia, T. T. Crit
tenden, of Missouri, F. M. Shober, of North
Carolina, aud Gen. Mitchell, of Kansas.
Wedderburn received the nomination last
Congress, when he stood no chance, and
thinks it fair that he should have it now
that prospects have improved. Wedder
burn was associate editor of the Rich
mond Enquirer, and agent for the
Virginia Life Insurance Company at
the same time. When an iudignantyouth
came to the office looking for the fighting
editor, George always made him get his life
insured before he bearded tho lion in his
den, up three flights of stairs. After the
sudden taking off of Pollard by the explo
sion of a double-barrelled gun, G. C. W.
moved to Washington, where he has been
insuring healthy government clerks, hoping
to make a raise by the lapsing of their pol
icies on a change of administration.
. CONTESTS.
While pu tfhe subject of Congress, I might
rfffer ip the seats which will be in
contest in tho next House, of which there
are several. The one nearest at home is
Gen. Finley against Walls, which may be
considered as settled in Finley’s favor, thus
sending J. T. W. back to Gainesville to be
used as a stool pigeon for the Tallahassee
ring. The career of Walls in Congress was'
short but brilliant. He never said anything,
and therefore never committed himself; a
good barber was spoiled by making him a
ongressman. He had an easy time on his
$5,000 a year. His constituents didn’t
bother him much with'correspondence, and
he never sent them any documents, as they
could not read them, and he could sell them
as waste paper, etc., here. Gen. Finley
will be an able second to Senator Jones from
the Land of Flowers. In Alabama there are
two seats in contest. Jere Haralson. Demo
crat, of Selma, is opposed by Fred G.
Bromberg, of Euiaula. The latter was an
appointment of John Pope, General, in
Mobile, as City Treasurer. He worked like
an otter with the Rads until appointed Post
master ak Mobile, whirehehung out two
years, until Spencer had him removed. He
was elected to Congress, and after the ex
piration of his term moved up to Eufaula in
another district, and ran again, and now
comes forward and claims the seat. The
seat of J. N. Williams, of Mobile, is con
tested by the highly colored J. T. Rapier, of
Montgomerv, who puts himself down as
born in Florence, Ala., educated in Canada,
and a planter (!) by profession. He was given
the credit of planting Oates by the last Con
gress, but this one will harrow up his soul.
In Illinois, C. H. Harrison has cleaned out
J. D. Ward, Republican, of Chicago, but
Jasper contests, and J. V. Le Mozue claims
the seat of that rasping Radical Farweil.
In Indiana the seat of Baker, Republican,
of Goshen, is contested by Freeman
Kelly, with a good chance of suc
cess. In South Carolina, the piebald
apostle Rainey , who says in his Congres
sional autobiography that he “improved
his mind by observation and travel,” has a
claimant for the seat in Samuel Lee. It is
to be hoped that South Carolina will have
one decent representative in the House,
where Sol Hoge, Buttermilk Wallace, Odor
iferous Smalis and Purty Mackey will be,
ready for their pay and perks. In Wiscon
sin the seat of G. W. Cate, Democrat, is
contested by Dr. A. S. McDill, of the last
Congress, and formerly of the insane asylum.
Me. had better take a “Dover” and go home.
Gov. T. W. Bennett, of Idaho, finds that a
jolly Democrat stands a chance of getting
the place of delegate, and has taken rooms
for the winter to make his expenses. But
the most pleasing prospect of all the con
tested cases will be in witnessing the defeat
of the carpet-bag parroquet from Vermont’s
green hills, Platt, of Virginia. John Goode
has been elected, but Platt can not bear to
part wi'h the Committee on Public Build
ings aud Grounds, which was such a “bonan
za” to him, and the patronage of the Navy
Yard which was such an assistance to his
Vermont relatives. Besides these ten seats,
we may expect to hear from several more
in contest when Congress meets. The Radi
cals instituted the system of giving every
contested seat to the'claimant of their par
ty, or keeping their man in until near the
close of Congress, and then giving the seat
to the properly elected man, as they did in
several well-known cases.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT
has taken isession of the new building
near the Wn.te House erected for it, where
the old expounder of international law, the
venerable e iple of VatteL, Ham. Fish,
sooth .s his corns on the Brussels carpet and
jaws his stenographer for confounding his
id<as. H: m. is heavy on ideas. His
cranium is so full of them that they can
hardly force their way out, but when one
escapes he secures it" immediately, failing
in which he throttles the scribe and
“blarsts” the young man in the blue necktie
and blonde side whiskers who sports the
name of Levillon A. Brown, and sacrifices
his leisure to serve the government for
$3,000 per annum. The Virginius affair
upset old Fish. Don Jose Polo de
Bernabe heat him in dipomacy, and
a few hundred dollars settled for the insult
to the flag and the lives of butchered citi
zens. The “Book of Blood” published by
the Cubans, containing the names of over
five thousand prisoners of war and defense
less citizens murdered by the Spaniards in
Cuba, failed to rouse him, and the late
newspaper talk of intervention to stop the
butchery, only caused him to send for Ned
Thornton to drown the agitators over some
choice cognac.
CORRECTED,
The correspondent of the Angusta Chronic
cle and Sentinel is in error in sta
ting that the daughter of Jackson, who shot
Coionel Eliswortb, is a clerk in the Post Of
fice Department, that she received her place
through Col. Mosby, that she was discharged
by Jewell and restored by the President, who
had her put down to his credit. Miss Jack
sou never was in tlie Post Office Department,
and the rest of the story is imaginary. Mias
Jackson is a clerk in McCartee’s Bureau of
the Treasury, appointed upon the recom
mendation of numerous Virginians. About
a year ago McCartee discharged her on
learning that she was Jackson’s daughter,
but upon the urgent request of several of
her friends, and the fact tkat she was a
good clerk, she was reinstated. She has
another sister here married to an employe
of the Board of Public Works., The corres
pondent also says that Miss Surratt married
a Treasury clerk. In this he is wrong. She
married Dr. Torrence, then a clerk in the
Surgeon General’s office. Ho was discharg
ed shortly afterwards, but is now one of the
most prominent analytical chemists in the
country, and resides" at Baltimore. Other
parts of his article are incorrect, and have
caused some broad grins here over his care
lessnee: in obtaining information.
OLLA PODRIDA.
The chief of the Metropolitan Police
wants the force of legalized loafers increased

NEW AND JEWELL.
The Indianapolis youth who fills old
Spinner’s place has been threatening to re
sign lately, to look after his banking inter
ests. But he has been calmed down through
tire interposition of the thirty Hoosiers
whom he brought with him and who would
be kicked out upon his departure. And
now Jeweil wants to leave. He says Zach
has not got tone enough for the Cabinet.
Since Jewell was Minister to Russia he has
manufactured a genealogical string of Jew
ellry back to Capt. No*h, anil therefore
associates only with the Fishes. He has had
rows all around, and is despised by all who
have anything to do with him, on account
of his egotism. He had words with Grant
about Burt, of Boston, Pease, of Vicksburg,
aud others. Spencer, of Alabama, Clayton,
of Arkansas, and others, are after him for
his tight with the bogus mail contractors;
so the probabilities are that he may return
to his home on the Onion river, and re-es
tablish his nutmeg factories, and New is
therefore brought to the front as his prob
able successor. New is backed by Morton
and others. He was a member of the Indi
ana Legislature for years, aud became rich
negotiating loang for the State during the
late war. Ramsey, of Minnesota, is also
talked of. Old Ram. is mentioned for every
vacant place, but as yet has not struck oil.

Capture of a Counterfeiting Gang.
—New York, November 17. —For some
time past a gang of counterfeiters have
been flooding the city with counterfeit
five cent pieces. Captain Kinnock, chief
of the secret service in this district, last
night received information that the coun
terfeiters resided at No. 77 Eldridge
street, and proceeding there he arrested
five of them—Mrs. Ellen Barney, aged
seventy years; her daughter, Mrs. Eliza
Kinny, and Mrs. Kinny’s children : Liz
zie, aged thirteen years; Francis, eleven;
and Katie, eight. Captain Kinnock
searched the house, and found three hun
dred spurious five-cent pieces and also a
mould for making counterfeit money. All
the prisoners were brought before the
United States court to-day. The children
stated that their grandmother forced
them to pass the counterfeit money.
Emanuel Bemott, the reputed stepfather
of the children, is at present in the State
prison for counterfeiting the five-cent
nickel.
What Georgia Produces.— The estab
lishment of a “Department of Agricul
ture,” or, rather, an agricultural exhibi
tion, in Central Georgia, is doing much
toward making better known the plant
ing and farming interests of that State.
The object of the institution is the ex
hibiting of the various products of the
State, and obtaining data as to the ex
tent of the territory applicable to the
raising of the various products. Among
those now on exhibition, and which are
or can be successfully cultivated, are the
following: Five ears of corn, weighing
8 j pounds; upland rice ; banana Spanish
potatoes; Cuba and St. Domingo yams ;
Georgia made sugar; tea plant; genuine
goober pea; chufas, or earth almond,
and hemp and jute. There are potatoes
from Lookout Mountain, which are said
to equal the best in market. Among the
varieties are Compton’s Surprise, 15
ounces; Peerless, 16$ ounces; Snow
Flake, and Boundless Beauty, 13$
ounces.— N. Y. Bulletin.

ILed-skins. — Washington, At member 19.
A party of Warm Spring Indians arrived
here a few days ago and went to the
White House, and then called upon the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs for aid.
The Commissioner told them if they
would go to the Tremont House their
board while there would be paid by the
government. The Indians chose to re
main where they were, and the result is
an unpaid bill for which the proprietor
threatens to retain the baggage of the
Indians. Yesterday, Hr. McKay, man
ager of the band, called upon the Com
missioner to make another effort to secure
the payment of this bill and the release
of their baggage, trinkets, etc., but the
latter peremptorily refused and repri
manded the Doctor for the intoxicated
exhibition by the Indians on the street,
declaring it a disgrace to the Indian
service. Dr. McKay finally consented to
leave this morning, and the Commis
sioner agreed to furnish tickets and blan
kets to each Indian at the depot ready for
departure.
The Mayor of Lille, France, the resi
dents being about to celebrate the cente
nary of Cristafori, the inventor of the
piano-forte, issued a proclamation forbid
ding the use of pianos and organs in the
city in all places open to the public after
the first of November, on the ground that
they keep away workmen from their
work, stimulate young girls to debauchery,
and are a nuisance in the neighborhood
where they are played.
Gratuitous Advice. —This species of
advice is not always acceptable, but
doubtless in many instances much benefit
would be derived were it promptly acted
upon. No section of the country is ex
empt from disease and many regions has
its “ills that flesh is heir to.” To know
the best means of combating this com
mon enemy, with the least injury to our
pockets and tastes, is certainly a great
advantage. At this season we must ex
pect torpid liver, congested spleen, vitiat
ed bile and inactive bowels, and all prudent
persons should supply themselves with
Tutt’s Liver Pills, which will stimulate
the liver, relieve the engorged spleen, de
termine a healthy flow of bile, thus regu
lating the bowels and causing all un
healthy secretions to pass off in a natural
manner. Remember that an “ounce of
preventive is worth more than a pound
of cure.”
An Imprt'cnnble Position.
Among American remedies Ilostetter’s Stomach
Bitters occupies what may not inaptly he termed
an impregnable position. The foundations of its
popularity are laid so deep in the public confi
dence, its excellence has been so frequently and
conclusively demonstrated under the most trying
circumstances, and it has been so long known to
the public as a standard article, that neither the
slurs occasionally cast upon proprietary medi
cines, nor the attempts of certain inalcoliolic nos
trum venders to create a prejudice against a
preparation with a spirituous basis, can affect it.
The public recognize in it a safe, agreeable and
comprehensive alterative and an invaluable gen
eral tonic, a speedy remedy for malarious disor
ders, and their most reliable preventive. Its
reputation is founded, as it were, upon a rock.

SAVANNAH MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,)
Savannah, November 23, 18T5, j
General Remarks.— During the past week
business has only been tolerably fair, theunusua]
warm weather has operated injuriously and the
city has been comparatively barren of purchasers.
Some good orders have been filled, however, and
the advent of the holiday season gives promise
of quite a brisk trade. Our merchants arc fully
prepared for this, having laid in large and varied
stocks. There have been no changes of import
ance in quotations.
Cotton. —lt will be observed from our daily
commentaries, constituting a resume of the
week, that the market has, with two exceptions,
closed steady, with good sales. The past two
days there is shown an increase of %c. in quota
tions of good middling, with slight fluctuations
in other grades. The total sales have been
pretty fair, considering that yesterday there was
scarcely any demand.
We give below the daily transactions and tone
of the market for the week, which will give a
correct review for that time. The market to
•night dull and lower to sell.
