The negroos of Brooks county are so mnch dissatisfied, and are emigrating so rapidly, that some of the more sensible of the race have called a convention for the purpose of talking matters over. Stephen Brinkley has been respited for one week. Lee, Baker, Calhoun, Early, Mitchell, Worth, Dougherty, and adjacent counties, are moving in the matter of forming an Agricultural and Industrial Association. A number of respectable but deluded citi zens of Wbittield eeunty have a fevensb anxiety to bo interred in Texan cemeteries. There’s no accounting for tastes. The Valdosta Timex remarks : “Reader, are you a subscriber to the Savannah Mounino News? If yon are, you can en dorse all we say in reference to it. If you aro not, become a subscriber and reader of it at once. Important events now trans piring in the history of Southern Georgia aro faithfully and elaborately chronicled ill its columns. It is a perfect encyclopedia and library in itself, giving all the news and choice literature of the day.” Talbotton Slawkird : A negro man saw it on last Friday night. Hu was coming through what is known as the Kimbrough HWainn, near Mr. John Trice’s. Ho says that the thing was as large as a yearling caif, ami had the appearance of being gray, its tail looked like it had a large ball on the end of it. The man says that ho shot at it and it fell down, rolled over, and then run right by him as fust as lightning, lie tried to hit it with his rifle, but failed. This story lias spread like wild-iiro, and the citi zens aro becoming more and more excited. The truth is, wo have a strange wild animal among us. It inhabits our swamps, makes a fearful noise, and has a largo body. Can’t something bo done to ferret out the mys tery. liainbridgo Democrat: The Savannah News has asked the question: Aro there any lands fur sale in Southern Georgia? We , auswor for Decatur in the allirmative. There is plenty of laud in this county, laud capable of producing anything that grows in this semi-tropical climate, which can he bought at a bargain. For instance, not long ago, a splendid farm of ono hundred and twenty live acres, all necessary buildings, flue orchard, etc., situated in the Fowlstown district, one of the richest in tho State, sold j... film, ijia... tm <nut>ro iiiriu enough m this county to sustain 50,000 people, which can bo bought, and cheap too. Ono reason why the public do not know that lands aro for sale in this section is be cause those who wish to sell do not adver tise the fact, as such a proceeding would cost Homotting; but now to all of that way of thinking, we would say : Major H. 8. Haines, Superintendent of the Atlantic anil Gulf Railroad, will sooii issue a pamphlet for general distribution, giving a descrip tion of tho lauds lying along the lino of his road, and ho extends au invitation to pub lish free all the lands for sale iu Southern Georgia. Now, all who wish to sell laud should soud a description and terms to Maj. Haines forthwith, as it will costnothiug but a postage stamp. Quitman lieporler : A few years ago Mr. Thomas Horne, who lives near Boston, Thomas county, Georgia, sent to a seeds man (wo have forgotten tlio address) for four or live different varieties of oats, for the purpose of finding out which variety was best suited for our climate. Tho one selected as best adapted to our soil and climate was the “yellow-bearded rust proof oats.” They differed from tho common rust proof by being exceedingly ] rolitic and very heavy, the average weight beiug thirty two pounds per bushel. Mr. Horn then divided with two of Ins neighbors, Mr. B. I. Htouo and Mr. Whaley, with tho understand ing that each should keep the seed pure ; and since that time each of them have endeavored to keep their seod in their vir gin purity. At tho Thomasvillo Fair last month,|tho Homo oat was awarded tho pre mium over all other varieties. While at Boston one day last week Mr. B. I. Stone g rati lied our curiosity by giving us alo ik into his burn, which was’ filled with the golden cereal. His crop averaged him this year twenty-three bushels per acre, on poor pine land, which, unassisted by fer tilizers, would ordinarily make about ten bushels of corn per acre. Mr. Stone is shipping them to different parts of South Georgia and Florida for the very reasonable price of one dollar per bushel. Mr. L. C. Mattox, of Clinch county, writes as follows to the Valdosta Timex ; In your last issue, under the heading of “ Orange Culture,” I flud the editor of your Wayoross Department has discovered a young orange tree iu hearing at Dupont, which seems to he the Ilrst ho has noticed iu this section, although he has beeu a resident of Southern Georgia for more than twenty years. I have teu bearing trees, some of which are over twenty years of age, from which 1 have gathered twenty and twenty-five hundred or anges per tree in one season. Iu the year 1865 I sold thirty dollars worth from two trees, over and above what my family wished to consume. It was at, or just after, the close of tho war whou they bore a good price. The suggestions of Mr. Hunt for their protection against cold is iucorrect. When protected on the uortli by a wall the reflected heat of the wall causes the spring growth to start so early that the last colds of receding winter will kill the fruit if not the tree, and trees on the north hss something of the tame effect, besides drawing on the soil so as to debili tate the trees, (I mean the orange trees), wbeti they will not stand so much cold or bear so well. The best plan is to give them plenty of space, fertilize well, set some posts in a semi-circle on the north side a few feet from them, and during the severest weather, which only lasts a day or two at a time, stretch a cauvass from post to post. The canvass should bo removed as early as practicable each time, inourriug trees to as much cold as they can bear. Sandcrsville Herald : Ou Thursday night last, IStli inst., a most brutal murder was perpetrated ou the premises of Mr. K. J. Moye, in this county, about fifteen miles from this city, ou the lilackshear Ferry road. The victim was Jordau Chambers, a quiet, inoffensive negro. Tbe circumstances as related to us by Mr. Moye are these : About a quarter past uine o’clock Thursday night the report of a guu was heard, and a few minutes after a boy ran up to Mr. Move’s house and reported that his brother "was shot. Mr. Moye v eut dowu immediately and found Jordau lying at the corner of his cabin, with seven buckshot wounds in his bodv and two in his arm. Mr. Moye had him carried iuto the house, and Dr. ’j. 8. Wood was sent for immediately. Dr. Wood came, but could do nothing lor the wounded man. He lived until about half past 1 o’clock Friday morning. He con versed with Mr. Moye and Dr. Wood, and said he did not know who shot him, or for what purpose. The night was very dark, and he did not see the person shootiug. An inquest was held by Coronor Orr, and four ntqfioes examined. They stated that they had been there that night helping Jor dan • cover some corn that was in a pen. They had a fire in the yard near the corner of the cabin. Witnesses went in the house and Jordan stopped outside and was crackiug some walnuts. A few mo ments after witnesses got in the house they heard the report of a gun, and upon going ut found Jordan shot. Jordan was one of the State’s witnesses in the late insurrec tion trials, and circumstances, not best here to state, point strongly to parties deeply im plicated in the attempted insurrection as the perpetrators of this foul murder. For prudential reasons we withhold the name of the party or parties suspected. Mr. Moye and the good people of the community are determined to lerret the matter out, and bring the guilty partv to justice if possible. This makes the third State’s witness that has beeu mysteriously killed since the at tempted insurrection— two in adjoining pouunee and one in this.

Frank Leverett, of Eatonton, and the Mop.ni.no News exchanged greetings yester day on the completion of the telegraph line to that place. This is something of an in novation, to be sure, and mnch of the credit is due to Mr. Leverett, who, in connection with Mr. J. Q. Adams, worked night and day for the establishment of the line. Major Mark A. Cooper has been nomi nated for the Senate in the forty-second district. The cotton factory at Trion, in Chattooga county, has beeu completed at a cost of one hundred and ninety thousand dollars. Mr. Marion Williams, of Franklin county, made seven hundred bushels of corn atid nine bales of cotton on a one-horse farm this season. Mr. E. B. Barrett has retired from the editorial chair of the Wilkinson Appeal. Toccoa has received 1,770 bales of cotton this season. Mr. John W. Cox, the Coroner of Dooly county, is dead. The gin-house of Mr. J. D. Perry, of Burke county, wag burned on the 25th. This is the twenty-eighth. If not, the Commissioner of Agriculture will correct ns—even as we were compelled to correct him. The twenty-ninth gin-house burned this season is that of Mr. C. C. Clarke, of Dooly county, together with a large quantity of seed, and four bales of cotton. Incen diarism. Miss Annie Oliver, of Hawkinsville, is dead. The corner-stone of a large vineyard will soon ho laid near Hawkinsville. Thomasvillo is to have a grand fox-chase on Christmas day. Judge Hopkins is at the bottom of it. Tho dwelling-house of a negro was burned in Darien recently. They will have fires down there. An ogg within an egg is the latest sen sation in Jefferson county. The corn-crib of Mr. J. C. Cook, near Columbus, was burned by an incendiary the other day. Early county considers it remarkable that she has had no killing frost up to this time. Bold burglars are playing a successful en gagement in Blakely. Meanwhile the new jail is rapidly approaching completion. A Catoosa county calf, seven months old, weighed, when killed, two hundred and forty pounds not. The Atlanta Constitution says that the reason Jack Brown was removed from the Collectorship of that district was b< cause he got on a spree. The remains of a nogro child who had been drowned, were found in a creek near Macon tho other day. Atlanta correspondence Augusta Chroni cle : The ten days truce between Governor Smith and Treasurer Jones have expired, and the latter has failed to make an accepta ble bond, and the Governor will proceed im mediately to appoint a Treasurer ad interim Die failure of Captain Jones to make a bond HU - prised no one hero, as the reports circu lated concerning his alleged negligence and inefficiency have permeated tho entire State, it is not known what course ho will pursue, but it is supposed that he will prepare a vin dication of his conduct and policy for the incoming Legislature and the public at large. I learn that there are very extenuating circumstances con nected with Jones’s payment of the $150,000 or $200,000 of bonds by him the second time. For instance, there are about $175,000 of bonds which, it is said, were paid twico, in tho following manner: The bonds were paid by a London banking house over its own counters and charged to Henry Clows & Cos., its correspondents, who were at that time the authorized agents of the State, and were forwarded by tho Lon don house uncancelled to Clews & Cos., in New York city. Henry Clews received them, did not eaucel them, hut put them up at auotiou and sold llwm to tlio highest w.u*, anti the purchasers presented them to State Treasurer Jones for payment, who, finding them un paid, . paid them without suspecting auy fraud. Some other bonds to the amount of $25,000 or $30,000 were paid by tho Na tional Park Bank of New York, and were placed in the hands of tho son of Treasurer Angier uncancelled to be deposited with the State Treasurer two or three days before Jones entered upon the discharge of duty. These uncaucellcd bonds, it is said, were placed in the vaults of the Treasury, but I uuderstand that Jolm Jones says he never saw, received or accepted any such bonds when ho outored upon tho duties of his office. Be this as it may, it is certaiu that these bonds which one party testifies were in the Treasury and which Treasurer Jones says ho never saw until they were presented to him for payment, were presented at the Treasury Department for payment and paid by Treasurer Jones, who, observing no ir regularity in them, paid and cancelled them without hesitation. The friends of Treas urer Jones c'aim that he will be acquitted of all blame, except the charge of a careless system in book-keeping. I understand that ho is ready to turn over his papers, etc., to his successor, who will soon be appointed. Tho law allows him ten days in which to do this. Dr. Bozeman will not accept the posi tion, and thinks that no one connected with the recent investigation should, as any one so circumstanced will bring with him una voidable prejudices. Opium Dreams. —ln response to a com munication addressed to the Committee of Health and Police by the Mayor in relation to opium-smoking dens, that committee made a report to the Board of Supervisors on Monday night which is calculated to startle the community. The committee say there are eight of these opium-smoking establishments, kept by Chinese, for the exclusive use of white men and women, which are patronized, not only by the vicious and depraved, but by young men and women of respect able parentage. When the committee speaks of young men and women of re spectable parentage who visit these dens, we infer that they allude to others than those who have embraced vice as a prac tice. It seems hardly credible, however, that young women with claims of re spectability should resort to such places. The conclusion of the committee is emi nently correct. Unless this most danger ous species of dissipation can be stopped in its inception, there is danger that it will become one of the prevalent vices of the city. An ordinance was reported making it a misdemeanor to contribute in any way to the support of places where opium is smoked. — San Francisco Chron icle. The Suit Against James Watson Webb. —When James Watson Webb was Minister to Brazil he received £14,000 from the Brazilian Government on ac count of a claim which the United States bad against it for the illegal condemna tion of a ship. Mr. Webb turned over to the Treasury only £9,000, and ex plained that he had paid the rest, £5,000, to certain influential Brazilians in order to secure the collection of the claim, This government brought suit in tbe United States District Court to recover from Mr. Webb the £5,000. United States District Attorney Bliss filed inter* rogatories for Mr. Webb to answer, and among them was the following ; “What are the names of the influential Brazilians to yhorn, as you say, you paid the £5,000?” Mr. Webb neglected to an swer this question, and Mr. Bliss applied to Judge Blatchford for an order requir ing him to answer it, or show cause why he should not be committed for contempt of court. Judge Blatchford granted this, and yesterday the time for complying with it was fixed for December 14. In the event of a refusal to answer, Mr. Webb is to show cause on December 13 why he should not,be committed for con tempt.— JV. T. Tribune, 24 th. Three sharpers boarded a train at Council Bluffs, lowa, for Chicago. They had but one ticket. One took a seat in front, one in the middle, the other in the rear of the coach. No. 1 gave up his ticket and received a check, which, tied to a string run along outside the coach, was towed to No. 2, who stuck the check in his hat. The conductor passed it, and instantly it went kiting to No. 3, and quickly appeared over his os-frontis. At the end of the trip No. 1 gave up his check; No. 2 was in the water-closet; No. 3 had lost his hat, and the d—d check with it—so he said.

[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.) Jacksonville, November 27, 1875. IN BE UNION. With the issue of December Ist, Mr. H. K. Sawyer will put a final period to his editorial connection with the Tri- Weekly Union. His ostensible successor in the conduct of that journal will be Charles H. Walton, of Stearns no toriety, but the de facto editor and power behind the stool will be Edward M. Cheney In the retirement of Mr. Sawyer the Union loses an able and forcible writer, an honest, unosten tatious, conscientious gentleman of wide research and an abundance of solid com mon sense, and an anomaly in Southern politics—a Republican who is not be smeared with the dregs of Radical iniquity. His earnest and persistent ad vocacy of what he believed to be right and just, has extorted the admiration even of his political opponents, and he is an ex emplary gentleman in the full meaning of the term. He retires from this journal—the child of his intellectual loins—with the best wishes of a major portion of our citizens. The Union will hereafter be of the Tallahassee Sentinel and Femandina Observer variety, and its principles will loudly stink in the nostrils of humanity. It is rumored that the paper will become a daily at an early date, but to inexperienced parties, dailies are dangerous and expensive affairs. RICHARD ANDERSON, CONSTABLE. On the fifteenth of August last, one Lloyd Brown, negro, being in a sportive and oblivious humor, embraced his consort with the niggers popular instrument of destruction, a keen-edged razor, and severed her jugular vein after such an artistic fashion that she died immediately. (Y-iuwill not fail to notice the circumlocution which I assume in order to avoid designating this disturb ance as murder.) After an exciting and interesting chase for the fugitive Brown, who, it is unnecessary to say, had suddenly found business abroad, be was captured at Bald win, having almost succeeded in effecting his escape; and, in fact, the authorities had beeu deluded into looking for him in another direction by one Richard Ander son, a cantankerous negro constable, who had secreted the murderer for over twenty-four hours in his own domicile. Anderson was apprehended on August 20, charged with being accessory after the fact, and held in bonds of one thousand dollars to answer before this term of the Circuit Court. The law (Bush 6, 259) is explicit as regards this offence. Lloyd Brown was convicted during the week of murder in the first degree, but his sentence has not yet beeu pronounced by the automaton Archibald. Nothing Las been yet heard of the case against Richard Anderson, and as he is a good and worthy Radical his preliminary examination will proba bly be the last of the matter. Unless you are fully aware of the splendor and convenience of having everything in your own fingers you will fail to appreciate how this could well escape the attention of the court. The mercenary justice of the peace merely has the prisoner bailed for the purpose of hoodwinking the pub lic, and naturally if the culprit be a nig ger or a Radical—synonymous terms — pockets the papers in the case and they never reach the grand inquest. The public memory is proverbially treacher ous, and in the interim that dis tinguished entity forgets all about it. Sometimes the Clerk of the Court pur loins the documents, at other times the State Solicitor. Either Mr. Coan, Higgins or Uncle Tad are culpable in this matter if Richard Anderson is not made to suffer the full penalty of the law, and it be hooves those stipendiaries of the com monwealth to place the blame where it properly belongs. AM tumlies wanderings. The black element in this benighted quarter of the globe are fertile in inge nious inventions and shifts for gaining a precarious livelihood, at the expense of disinterested parties. A smooth-faced tar-baby, intent on pilfering, arrayed himself in a female garb, with furbelow, pin-back, bustle, etc., and commenced a systematic journey of conquest among the dusky damsels of our suburban shanties. This slippery youth flour ishes under the euphonious 'Cogno men of Sam Tumlies, and his mode of procedure was to call at some rookeries in the outskirts of the city, insinuate himself by a pitiful tale of woe into the affections of the occupants, and at the first opportunity decamp wRh whatever articles he could find within his grasp. He had been carrying on his depredations successfully for some three weeks, when it was his misfortune to exhibit acci dentally a seven by nine foot, which caused one of his intended victims to penetrate his disguise and sound the loud alarm. The negroes have adopted a curious sort of punishment for this de ceiver, and without invoking the majesty of the law, have kept the lively Sam con fined during the day on one meal, only to form a ring around him every night, and make him walk around with his woman’s attire on. One darkey is created musician, and while the sorrowful Sam is compelled to dance to the inspiriting tune of a Jews’ harp, the whole neigh borhood of contrabands are ranged around hooting and jeering and relishing the discomfiture of their prey after the most intense and enlivening manner. How long poor Sam will remain in durance it is impossible to predict, but it is safe to say that when released he will confine his operations to people of the other hue. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Arrivals for the week ending yesterday at Jacksonville: Steamer Hampton, Nor folk; schooners Admiral, Baltimore ; A. J. Bentley, Joseph Warren, New York; John G. Wright, Scull, S. C.: Hattie Card and F. E. McDonald, New York; J. T. Weaver, Newark, N. J.; Mark Pendle ton and Storm Petrel, New York. SIDEWALKS. The rotten planks which intersect the streets, and not unfrequently dissect the toes of pedestrians, have been for time immemorial elaborately festooned with ordure and other filth, but are slowly giving way to a better style of pavements. The authorities are waking up to the necessity of keeping the city cleaner, and perhaps when the ordinances relating to cattle shall have been rigidly en forced, it will be a glorious sight to see. But an enormous amount of patience is essential, and an illimitable faith in corporations vitally necessary. The negroes in this municipality consti- tute tbe bulk of the Mayor’s support and nearly every one of them owns a hog or two. It is dangerous to attempt to abridge the freedman's immunities. the aubora borealis. The light of the north was visible’here on Thursday night. It was a singularly brilliant spectacle, and presented an ap pearance as of a conflagration in the dis tance. It was unusually bright, and tinged the horizon for upwards of an hour. JEWISH SUNDAY SCHOOL. The Israelites of this city have re cently completed the organization of a Sabbath School of their order, and commenced with an attendance of twenty-four scholars under the super vision of a principal and four young lady teachers. They are piogressing favor ably, and the services are held on the regular Christian day of rest. ILLNESS OF HOLSTED H. HOEG. Mr. Hoeg lies dangerously ill at his residence opposite Jacksonville, with one side paralyzed and his reason shattered. His condition is extremely critical, and fears are entertained that a few days will terminate his mortal career. He is one of our large property holders. PROMINENT ARRIVALS. Ex-Treasurer Spinner, of the First National Bank of this city, is in town, and will probably sojourn here until spring, Hon. Reuben E. Fenton, of New York, is a guest at the St. James’ Hotel. Major E. G. Dike, formerly of Savan nah, was here on Wednesday with the yacht Raritania. He has been metamor phosed into the manager of St. John’s Hotel at Palatka for the forthcoming season. INCREASE IN NUMBER OF VISITORS. The trains for the past few days have arrived crowedd with human freight to their utmost capacity, and the steamers plying between this port and Savannah we bringing their quota promptly. The 86480,1 may be considered as fairly in augurated. THEATRICAL. We are to have a Stationary Variety Combination within a few days, under the management of a Mr. Ward, of Paterson. N.

[Special Correspondence ot the Monring News.] THE CAVE OF THE WINDS. Washington, November 26. The Capitol is being put in order for the advent of its occupants, and clean ing, etc., is going on vigorously. On the Senate side numerous additions to the frescoing has been made by a Dutch artist, and as most of these daubs are in the illy-lighted lower passages, they have considerable of the Rembrandt about them. The signs of the Zodiac, almost a copy from Josh Billings’ Almanac, have been painted at the north entrance, and appropriate daubs over the doors of the various Senate committee rooms. The Capitol grounds are in fair condition to take the Congressional eye. Gorgeous lamps, with Tennessee marble pe- destals and brass posts, cast in beautiful designs, are profusely scat tered around, and two large fountains so arranged that scores of rainbows will be at all times visible in daylight, are erect ed opposite the east front. These foun tains have also apparatus by which they are illuminated from below at night time, making a regular sea of enchantment or Black Crook scene around the Legislative Halls. The Solons will be called upon to appropriate $500,000 to complete all these gewgaws, and make us the laugh ing stock of Europeans. Babcock must be killed, or the Capitol removed before any more tom-foolery of this kind is al lowed, and the $500,000 can be put to some better use than enriching the Wash ington ring. The expense of placing the Capitol grounds has already amounted to over a million, which amount would go a long way towards paying for Southern property plundered during the war. UNITED STATES BUILDINGS. The supervising architect of the Trea sury has prepared his annual report, of which the following are abstracts: At Atlanta, Ga., United States Post Office, etc.; amount appropriated, $160,000; ex pended to September Ist, $2,018 ; bal ance available, $157,982. The excavation is nearly completed, and contract for material for concrete awarded. At St. Augustine, Fla., extensive repairs have been made on the buildings during the year. No further appropriation asked for. At Charleston, S. C., Custom House, etc. The stone work is completed, and contracts have been entered into for the iron work. The building will be ready for occupancy the beginning of next year. Amount appropriated $698,915 43 ; ex pended to September Ist, $510,791 17 ; balance available sufficient to meet all expenses, $188,129 26. At Columbia, S. C., building completed, etc. The $5,000 to secure additional site expended for said purpose. At Charlotte, N. C., the branch mint building is to be sold. At Raleigh, N. C., the building will be completed by the end of the next fis cal year. Amount appropriated, $250,- 000 ; expended to September 1, $131,265; balance available, $118,735. At Nash ville, Tennessee, the excavation has to be made in the solid rock and the work is slow. Only $4,077 has been expended out of the $150,000 appropriated. At New Orleans the work of modification of the Custom House,etp., goes on in the part to be occupied by the United States Court and Assistant Treasury. Amount appropriated for modifie-tion, SOII,OOO, expended, $834,657; balance available, $76,343. Immense sums are annually appropriated for the erection of United States buildings in small as well as large cities of the North, but the South seems to be greatly neglected in this particular. In the report of the Architect for 1874 he recommends very urgently an ap propriation for extending and remodeling the Custom House at Pensacola, but no thing is said of it in this year’s report. One singular fact connected with these public buildings is that the New York Post Office has cost nearly as much as the Treasury Department building here. The former cost $6,246,266 51 and the latter $6,501,- 500 20. There must be a lively ring in New York outside of the Tweedites. The total cost of United States buildings in New York is $9,825,618 26, and in Phila delphia $2,332,306 77. In the latter city $930,000 has been paid for the site of the new court bouse and post office, and about $4,000,000 will be consumed in their completion. A, B. Mullet, the ex supervising architect of the Treasury, has opened a building on Fifteenth street, “consulting architect,” etc. It is be lieved that his nest is well feathered, and that he can flood over several hard win ters on the presents, etc., received from contractors. HOME AGAIN. The Hon. Egbert C. Sammis, Consul at Stuttgard, having had a falling out with the young King of Wirtemberg, who is opposed to Die Schwartz, packed his valise, and returning, has appeared here to have a final settlement with old Cod Fish, preparatory to returning to Florida to open a law shop on the Euro pean plan. This leaves our great repub lic with but one representative de Afrique in Europe—a son of a b-arber named H. O. Waggoner, who gave Elihu B. Washburne such clean shaves in Chicago that he appointed Henry Consular Clerk at Lyons upon his assuming the dignity of Minister, etc., to France. Speaking of the great Washburne, reminds me of the fact that Morton’s cousin, Hitt, is now Washburne’s Secretary of Legation, and a chum of Morton’s, Bridgeland, is ensconsed in the fat Consulate of Havre. THE LATE TICE PBESIDENT. The remains of the deceased Vice- President, Henry Wilson, or Colbaith, are lying in state in the Rotunda of the Cap itol, and the papers are filled with obit uary notices and circumstances attending his death. While the administration or gans are trying to show that all was pleas ant between Grant and Wilson, every one here knows better. The President has given the Vice- President the cold shoul der all along, and, on one occasion, re fused to see him at the White House upon the excuse that he was “ too busy.” It is true that Grant called at the Capitol once during his sickness, but this was more to escape attacks like those made upon him for his inhumanity at the time of the death of his faithful Adjutant General Rawlins. What a similarity of circum stances attended the latter days and death of Sumner and Wilson ! Each had but few friends; neither had a single loving hand to smooth his dying pillow. One died attended by two colored men, one the proprietor of a restaurant near; and the other died attended by two Capitol police. They were the leading Abolition- ists of the country, both Senators from Massachusetts, and both died in the Capi tol of the nation. The death of Senator Ferry happening also on the 21st has caused quite an EXCITEMENT in political circles. Morton, Conkling and Logan, and other Radical leaders, are expected here to-morrow. Their programme has been changed materially. A Democratic Senator pro tern, will be appointed m Ferry’s place, and the Senate will then stand: Republicans 36, Demo crats 33, Independents 4 (Alcorn, Robert son, Hamilton and Edmunds). The three first named are Southern meD, and it is believed will act with the Demo crats in most measures, and Ed munds has so many private and personal grievances against the admin istration and the Republican ring leaders that his vote will be generally cast against them. This will make mat ters lively in this Congress, as it leads the Radical mind with trouble and fore boding. If the Pinchback matter is settled at all it will probably be by re fusing him his seat, and that will add another Democratic Senator to the list. Pinchback will rake in $20,000 of back pay if he is recognized, and will be able to increase the capital stock of his bank (faro) considerably. LAYING ABOUND. Buell, who is charged with libeling j Chandler in the St. Louis liepublican, is I here under bond for trial. He don’t seem agitated, but reads Don Piatt's at tack on the War Senator with gusto. George Alfred Townsend has settled down to write at SIOO a letter, and feels outraged at receiving such paltry com pensation. It is wortb that sum to read his Tiltonian trash Nordhoff has taken charge of the New l'ork Herald office, and Cliff Worden has opened elegant rooms for the Pottsville Herald during the season, where he will sell his father's life of Chase to the admirers of the de funct jurist. The Chicago Post sends Ingereoll to represent it. He is a great lobbyist, and sports a swallow-tail coat, a terrier pup, and a gold-headed cane. IN TOWN. Spinner, the old treasury watch-dog, has been here smiling over his defeat in New York. He goes to Florida for the winter. If he had been there last year he could have learned something from Stearns, Dennis A Cos., in the way of manipula ting finances that would have been a bonanza to him. Milksop Ames is in town and hob-nobs with Patterson con siderably. Pat is posting him how to run things ala South Carolina, but Ames depends on Butler, who is not only fath er-in-law, but mother-in-law to the Gov ernor of Mississippi. Ingalls, of Kansas, a long Senator, with weazened visage and glasses, has come in and located in cheap lodgings. Ex-Senator Fenton has been sojourning here, but has started to Florida. Pity Bijah Gilbert ''an’t be there to welcome him and turn out the band. Hon. Fernando Wood and a long string of New Yorkers, including Pat Jones, late Postmaster, and now City Auditor of Ne w York, are in town. NAVAL AFFAIRS. Just before each session of Congress the rotund Robeson has the New York and other papers filled with incorrect comparisons between our navy and that of foreign powers. It is always shown that Spain could obliterate us from the ocean in no time, and that Hawaii would even make it hot for our tars. This cry is raised for the purpose of loosening Congress on appropriations, and putting additional subsidiaries on duty in the Northern navy yards, as also-—the latest dodge—giving out contracts for building additional vessels. The naval register shows that we have the following vessels: Fifty-eight first, second and third rates; fifty-eignt vessels (fifty-seven screw and one paddle), carrying 833 guns and of 86,859 tons capacity; seven third rates (screw) building, four wooden and three iron, for 42 guns and a capacity of 4,083 tons. There is also the Michigan, paddle, 8 guns, 450 tons, on the lakes; six fourth rates, 21 guns, 3,183 tons; seven iron clads of 18 guns, and twenty-two iron clads—which could soon be made avail able, of 81 guns and 27,801 tons. There are twenty-six wooden sailing vessels, of which number six, carrying 40 guns, could be used at once. So you see that we have, including the*iron-clads, ready to go into commis sion, a very decent navy; and if Mr. Rob eson can’t keep it up on appropriations of nearly twenty-five millions per annum, be ought to pack his cigar-box and take free passage on the Dispatch for the Jer sey sands—where he will go, to a cer tainty, after March 4th, 1877. A war with Spain, or some other nation, is wanted to stop investigation. Robeson himself needs it badly, and the Navy Department is rotten to the core under his management. The piles of useless ordnance in the navy yards, and the large expenditures for contingencies, show some thing, while “Porter’s Folly,” or, the torpedo boat “alarm,” as it is called, will need looking after. SALATHIEL. A wanderer from the Gulf, one Colonel Moses Amis, has turned up here, and is about to publish a book of his adventures in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. He bivouacked with McLin, bilked with Sam. Bard and bunked with Holden. His last editorial attempt was on the Char lotte (N. C.) Age, from which sheet he rotated to this village in the expectation of reaping the reward of his services in the Radical cause. He has a boarding house directory in his bills, and a brass foundry in his phiz. He tells a woeful story of Florida politics, and says Talla hassee is lonesome since the days of Mundy, although JHc. gets up a circus sometimes. A TENNESSEE EIGHT. A fierce engagement is raging between the carpet-baggers and scallawags of Mid dle Tennessee over the Federal offices. The latter hold the offices and the former are trying to oust them. These ex-Fed eral Colonels, O’Rourke, Jones and Gal braith, have been pushing for the Col lectorship, the Marshal’s position and the Pension Agency, and have been backed up pretty heavily. But the present Col lector, Cliff, is backed by Brownlow, whose son Jim married his daughter, and John Brownlow has been here acting for the parson in preventing any change. The carpet-baggers sigh for Maynard again as their hope, and say that Jakey Thornburgh, the Republican member for that State is no account. So the would be officials will have to jump their board bills and return home. ODDS AND ENDS. Senator Gordon, it is understood, has rented a residence for the season, in Georgetown, D. C. His sons are here, Frank attefiding the Columbia College, and Hugh at the Law School, Hon. J. H. Blount has arrived and taken up quarters at the Metropolitan. J. L. Conley has been appointed Col lector of the Fourth Georgia District. A good deal of talk is made over the hasty post mortem of the Vice President. It is said that he was hardly cold before his cranium was opened. Chandler poetry: Zacky was from Michigan—Zacky was a trump—Zacky said, “Bipgod I’ll make them corres pondents jump.” He said unto yours truly, “Don’t take me forafooel; I’ll go for you, and others too, just like I went for Bu-ell.” Cyclops. Wliat a Farmer Found on His Kitchen Floor. [From the Allentown (fa.) Chronicle, Nov. 20.] Mrs. Joseph Schneck, sixty-two years old, was the wife of a wealthy farmer living near Hollenbach’s mill, in Lowhill township. The husband was away from home all day yesterday, and did not reach his house until dark. He got out of his wagon and, approaching the house, called his wife by name, but, receiving no response, he went to the barn and there he hid his pocketbook, containing a large amount of money, in some straw. Next he went back to the house and opened the kitchen door, groped his way carefully inside and came upon some thing lying on the floor, over which he nearly stumbled. Reaching down he caught hold of a cold hand, and, his fears overcoming him, he ran out of the house to the home of his neigh bor, Peter Schmick. Schmick collected a company of neighbors and the party proceeded with lights to Mr. Schneck’s home. When the light from a lantern was thrown into the kitchen it revealed a scene of blood and death most horrible to behold. On the floor lay the body of Mrs. Schneck, near a churn, at which, from the condition of its contents, it is supposed she had been at work when the murderer first struck her; the ghastly face was upturned, the floor of the room was sprinkled with blood nearly to the four walls, and the blood lay in thick pools near the head, from which it is thought the murderer struck her several times after she was first knocked down. This mysterious murder must have been committed before dark, for the body was cold. A bloody axe was found under the porch. The motive was undoubtedly robbery, although the murderer did not obtain more than three or four dollars. > > W M An Appeal to Parents. —Parents, do you love your children? Then preserve their health. Next to the blessing of life itself, ie :Jie enjoyment of perfect health. How many are stricken down in their infancy almost without a moment’s notice by that insidious disease, Croup, simply through the neglect to be pro vided with the proper remedy? The tender plant is nipped and withers ere it blooms. When the little sufferer has short, difficult, hoarse breathing, with a harsh, metallic cough, like coughing through a brass trumpet, there is no time to lose. Begin at once the use of Dr. Tutt’s Expectobant and the disease will readily yield to it Always have it ready in the house, as this fatal malady requires the promptest treatment It is very pleasant to the taste, and children take it readily. It is not the quantity eaten that gives strength, life, blood and health. It is the thorough digestion of the food taken, let it be mnch or little. Therefore, do not stimu late np the stomach to crave food, but rather assist digestion after eating, by tak ing Simmons’ Liver Regulator. nov26-F,MAWIw Coramrrrtal. SAVASNAH MARKET. WIISI T REPORT. OFFICE OF THE MOKSISO NEWS.) Savannah, November 30. 1875. ) General Rekarks.—Trade for the past week has been unusually quiet, and the business of jobbers has been confined almost exclusively to filling orders from the interior. Merchants say they do not anticipate any trade of importance until next week, when buyers will enter the mar ket for the purpose of making their holiday pur chases, of which there is an abundant supply,and the best selected stocks that have been in the market for some years. The feeling of confidence which has prevailed, concerning the condition of trade in the interior, has to a certain extent been shaken by the num ber of failures through the country, and still greater caution will probably be exercised In the future by sellers. Tfiis state of business has not, however, been confined to the interior merchant *, but seems to prevail throughout the country, and is caused by the stringency in the money market and the general lack of trade. How long It will last no one can tell, but it is to be hoped, and many express the opinion, that it will revive in the course of a few months. There have been but few changes of import ance in the market during the week, nearly all classes of merchandise being reported quiet and unchanged. Cotton.— The market for spot cottons during the week has been dull and irregular, and prices since our last report have declined >*c. Holders have fought hard to keep prices up, but the pre vailing weakness in controlling markets, and the indisposition on the part of buyers to pay quoted prices, have forced them to accede to the decline. W ednesday the market was dull, and declined >c. Thursday was generally observed as a holiday, and nothing was done. Friday the market was easier, but not quotably lower. Satur day a slightly better feeling was manifested and the market was more steady. Monday it was quiet and but little was done. To-day it was dull and declined fee. The daily resumes of the market for the week, to be fonnd below, will show its true condition since our last report.

Rice.—The market for this grain the past week has been a quiet one, with rather limited transactions in clean, the sales being only about 300 casks. In rough the transactions have been large.

A COLLECTION OF SOUTHERN PATRIOTIC SONGS, Written During Confederate Times. IN THIS volume an endeavor has been made to bring together, before they should be forever lost, the soul-stirring songs sang over camp fires and on the march, with which weary hours were beguiled, and to the manly cadence of which weary feet kept step.

Offered to the kind regards of all who may think worthy of consideration and preservation the “Life-of the-Camp Ballads,” so often sung by themselves and those companious-in-arms who nave “fought their last battle” and “passed over the river” forever.
