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. Bows in Elbert county have tho happy j faculty of chaelng and murdering foxes that destroy their pigs.

If tee were going to chase Iteynard, though, we would prefer the sows to the needle-tail Italians. It is stated that Judge Hopkins, of the Atlanta Circuit, will goon resign on account of failing health. This is to be regretted. Judge Hopkins is to Atlanta what Judge Tompkins is to Savannah, a terror to evil doers. In addition to this, he is the only man in all that countryside whose cheek never blanched at tho mention of Wiley Redding’s Dame. Mr. E. H.

Where is Moody? A man named It. T. Wallace, known as the “Reformed Gam bler,” has reformed again. This time it is said to made off with some money. 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. Tho i faw kinsvUW Dispatch gays that on Friday night last some wicked Incendiary set fire to the crib of Mr. Thomas L. Grif fin, on the old McDuffio plantation, in Wil cox county. The crib and five hundred bushels of cora, just gathered from the field, 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 Mr. Griffin, who was iu Uawkinsville at the time with a load of cotton. 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.

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. THE OK EPENOKEE—WITHIN AND WITHOUT. 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. Near the upper end of the “Cow 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.

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).

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 to one thousand for this district. The title of Mayor would then be changed to Colonel and the ex-schoolmaster become a semi-mili tary dignity. It is rumored that Zach Chandler has pur chased the Washington Sunday Chronicle. It has come out flat-footed ior the third term, as has also a new candidate for gov ernment advertising, the Rational Intelli gencer, a Radical organ, run by some clerks. What desecration of a name ? The News’ article of incendiary firing of cotton gins has caused some speculation as to their cause at the Agricultural Depart ment. They do not understand African kleptomania" yet. 11. V. Boynton, of the Cincinna’i Gazette— they call him “General” since he wrote his book against “Sherman’s Memoirs,” but don’t buy his book —has gone to St. Louis to testify in the trial of Avery, late Chief Clerk of the Treasury, indicted for connection with tho whisky ring. Ex-Commissioner Doug lass and others have also gone. Zaek says “Bristow ’ll get into trouble foolin’ with the Goddam crooked whisky yet, Why’nell don’t he take ii straight like me.” Ex-Senator and Schoolmaster Pease, of Mississippi, is here trying to get re-instated in the Vicksburg Post Office, from which he has just been removed. He is backed up by G. Wiley Wells, member elect to the Forty fourth Congress. Grant says, “Let us have Pease,” but Jewell responds m the nega tive. Bristow has ordered the force in the Cus tom Houses to be reduced, as the appr jpri ation is deficient SBOO,OOO. Murphy and Ca sey will be on their auricles over this. 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. ODDS AND -ENDS. Rev. Smith recommends in his annual re port that Congress authorize the Quarter master’s Department of the army to pur chase clothing, and the Commissary De partment to purchase provisions for the Indians. The Warm Springs Indians, under their chief, Donald McKay, have been here, trying to raise means to got homo on. They have -been showing around the country, and their agOCt "jumped” with the funds.

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. The Bankrupt Law. Philadelphia, November 15. —The committee to whom the subject had been referred reported at the meeting of the Board of Trade to night in favor of memorializing Congress to amend the bankrupt act so as to re quire that all judgments, notes, bonds, er other instruments conferring or au thorizing an entry of judgment or other lien against personal property, should be entered or recorded on the proper dock ets of the county wherein the debtor re sides, and where he does his principal business, at least four months prior to the filing of any petition in bankruptcy by or against the said debtor’s security therefor shall have no lien, priority, pref erence or procedure over any other claim in bankruptcy.

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. novl9-F,M,W&wIw Commfmal. SAVANNAH MARKET. WEEKLY REPORT.
