The jury ompanueled some days ago, says
the Chattanooga American Union, to sit upon
the body of a man found dead upon the rail
road track, reportas follows: Verdict: “That
, Pat. King came to his death by violence at
the hands of some person or persons unknown
to the Jury, who believe from the evidence he
was killed previous to the engine striking him
or throwing him from the track. That the
engineer in charge of the train deserves cen
sure for not stopping and ascertaining whether
the deceased needed surgical assistance, also
that the E. T: <t G. IL R. Co., were culpable
for not sending or making some effort to ren
der assistance to Mr. King, and allowing him
to remain all night lying on the track exposed
to the storm, when the depot was within one
mile of the scene of the accident.”
Says the same paper:l“A coarse fellow was
standing near a dry goods store on Market
street yesterday, using improper language,
while several ladies were passing, when a
gentlemen was seen to leave his lady for a
moment, and kick the man through the glass
window, following up with a good beating.—
After paying the damage, the gentleman
resumed his lady who saw nothing of the oc
currence, as if nothing had happened.
Again from the same paper: “One of our
citizens was walling up a deep well, and hav
ing occasion to come out to the surface, barely
reached the windless before the sides of the
well caved in. He would undoubtedly have
been buried alive had he not so op
portunely.

Last Thursday, David Roach, a policeman,
of this city, was arrested by the Freedmen’s
Bureau, and confined to jail under the charge
of being a participant in the late riots in our j
city. He applied for release upon bond, which I
-was promptly furnished, and was released
from custody, Mr. Prendel-grast, one -of his J
bondsmen, whom he had sent for to go on his
bond, on presenting himself at the Bureau, «
was arrested and sent to jail, charged with
knowing the whereabouts of his two sons, i
•who were accused of being participants in the [
late riot. Mr. Prendergrast informed the Bu- [
retiu that on ins honor as a man, he knew I
nothing of his sons’ actions; that he was !
quite ill, and wished to be released, which j
was unheeded. His attorney, Judge Lovick !
P. Jones, accompanied by Dr, Phillips, visi- i
ted Mr. Prendergrast in jail, aud after an ex- ;
amination, Dr. Pnillips stated upon his honor,
as a physician, that the old and feeble man
! was not only suffering intense pain from his
confinement, but that a few days more of du
rance would shorten his days, if it did not
speedily kill him, all of which tacts were pre
sented to the Bureau, who treated them as
they did all other pleadings lor the infirm old
man’s release. Mi. Prendergrast is sixty five
years of age, is quite feeble, is suffering from
flux and inguinal hernia, and unless speedily
released, will die m jail. So say his physi
cians, all of which is corroborated by J udge
Lovick C. Jones.— Memphis Avalanche.
A large number of sacks of corn have recent
ly passed through our city, being contributions
from Louisville and Cincinnati to the suffering
people of North Alabama, t for the relief of
whom an appeal was made some weeks ago.
Near a thousand-sacks of corn are now at our
levee, sent for the same purpose. As a people,
we ought not to be outdone in the cause of hu
manity. Other cities have furnished these
supplies for the poor of North Alabama, the
steamboats bringing them have charged no
freights, Messrs. Mastin & Donegan are not
charging for overlooking these supplies when
they reach the city, nor does the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad require any pay for its
transportation over its route to the destination.
With the exception of from Messrs. Potterson
& Bro., and Mr. Mannigau, we learn there is
a difficulty to get the supplies drayed from the
wharf to the depot without charge. We sin
cerely hope our Chamber of Commerce will
take some action immediately in this matter,
and see that to-morrow morning there is
enough transportation supplied to get the
means of existence, which have been sent here
from other cities to our starving neighbors in
Alabama, from the levee to the Charleston de
pot. — ibid.

Fortunately there was but little property to
injure iu the track of the storm.
The National Star says: “We learn that a
man named Johnson was killed, on Monday
last, in the Northwest portion ot Carroll coun
ty, by Rev. Mr. Waldrupp. We have no par

The Meridian Messenger is informed that
owing to the unfavorable weather in part,
and in part to the defective seed, the stand of
cotton in several sections of that country is

. having failed, the mischief cannot be remedied,
as it is too late to plant new seed, even if it
could be procured.
VIRGINIA.
The 10th of May was selected throughout
Virginia as the day on which to decorate the
: graves of the Confederate dead. The Rich

pended nt many of the principal stores in
[ Richmond. Many of the stores and residences
bore|i|pon the door or window a portrait of
Stonewall Jackson, draped in crape by the
graceful hands of our Indies. * » » * »
Most of the persons uncovered their heads as
they passed the portrait of General Jackson,
and the “Blues” marched uncovered along
the street.
The following is one of the incidents of the
day :
One of the most interesting and touching
incidents we have ever witnessed, occurred du
ring the ceremonies at Oakwood on yesterday.
One of the ladies who participated took her
servant (a negro boy) along to curry her bas
ket of flowers. Before leaving home he exact
ed of her a promise to let him have one of the
bouquets to deck, as he said, “ a rebel soldier’s
grave.” When asked how he could recognize
the grave, he replied that the soldier had been
“on old acquaintance of his, and when he
was buried, I was out there, and J got un
oyster shell and stuck it into the grave, and
could find it now. ” The lady felt sufficient in
ternist iu the matter to watch his proceedings,
and; as soon as they reached the ground she
saw him take his bcuquet, and reverently un
covering his head he knelt by the side of the
“soldier’s grave” and carefully placed the
flowers on the mound of earth which marked
the spot.
A better front Chief Jhsti cc
<s Chase.
[The following letter was read at the cele
bration of the Thirty-third anniversary of the
American Anti-Slavery Society in New York:]
“Washington, May Ist, 1866-
“Dkab Sir—l can not attend the annual
meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society
on the Bth; accept my sincere wishes for the
complete accomplishment of its purpose to
achieve the deliverance of our country from
the spirit as well as the fact, of slavery.
“Among the most urgent duties of the
hour, I count that of pressing upon the intel
ligence and the conscience of our country
men, the expediency, as well as the obliga
tion, of unqualified recognition of the man
hood of man.
“The nation has liberated four millions of
the people from slavery, and has made them
citizens of the republic.
“That all freemen are entitled to suffrage,
on equal terms, is an axiom of free govern
ment. Neither color nor race can be allowed,
without injustice and damage, as grounds of
exception.
“If, in the first movement toward national
reconstruction, the truth had been distinctly
recognized by an invitation to the whole loyal
people of every state in rebellion to take part
in the work of State re-organization, can it
now be doubted that the practical relations of .
of every State with the Union would have •
been already re-established, and with the hap
piest consequences?
“ Nothing is more profitable than justice.
Does not suffrage promise security, content,
self-respect, betterment of condition ? With
suffrage wlli there not be more and more pro
ductive labor than without? Will not suf
frage insure order, education, respect for law,
activity iu business, and substantial progress ?
‘‘ I have heard the difference between the
production of the lately insurgent States with
universal suffrage, and the production of the
same States without it, estimated at one hun
dred millions of dollars a year. At this rate
the injustice of the denial of suffrage will cost
the nation, five hundred millions of dollars in
five years—enough to to pay nearly one fifth
of the national debt.
“ Is it too much to expect that sensible and
patriotic men in those States will, before long,
see their true interest in their plain duty, and
join hands with those who seek, not their in-
I jmy or their humiliation, but their welfare and
’ their honor, in equal rights for all?
[ ‘ ‘ However these things may be, this, at least,
*. clear. The meii who so long conteud
ed for justice to the enslaved, and now con
'"ten’d for justice to the emancipated, will not,
I can not, must not cease their efforts till jus-
I tice prevails.
“Yours truly, S. P. Chase.

; A Stohy about Mummies. —Frank Buck
! land’s “Curiosities of National History,” just
i published in London, has this story about ! |
j mummies: s '
A friend of mine in the merchant service, i ■
about two years since, brought back with him ;
from Egypt, as a speculation, three mummies. ,
Immediately on their arrival iu London he I
asked me to examine them. They were two ;
males and a female, in a remarkably good j
. state of preservation, the hair, nails, skin, etc., i
being dry and hard like boards, aud the feat- [
ures in two of the specimens distinctly visible. ;
They did not appear to have been wrapped in ,
bandages, but to have been submitted to the
process of embalming, and then allowed to J
I dry.
I fancied from their appearance that they
had been embalmed by the ancient Egyptian <
priest-surgeons, After the following manner,
described by Herodotus, as one of the least
expensive inodes of embalming:
“They fill all the intestines with cedar oil,
without cutting into the abdomen or removing
the viscera; then preventing the egress of the
injected fluid, they salt the body for the fixed
number of days, and at the end of that time
they let out the cedar oil, the power of which
is such that it brings out in it both the intes
tines and viscera; it consumes the flesh, and
the skin And bones alone remain. This being
done they return the body.”
My friend described to me the various ad
ventures and escapes he encountered in bring
ing over his specimens, it being very difficult
to obtain mummies of any kind now-a-days, in
consequence of the Egyptian Government hav
ing forbidden them to be taken out of the
country.
Among other plans he adopted to pass the
authorities who came on board, he placed the
three mummies in the berth where the sailors
usualiy sleep, and covered them up with rugs,
etc., as though they were tired sailors takiag
a nap; and, if I recollect rightly, he told me
that a friend, who was partner in the mummy .
venture, lay down with them. ’
When the officials came round, the partner
pretended to wake up out of sleep, and, sitting

The Rump Congress—General Frank
Blair’s Plan for Getting Rid of It.—Gen.
Frank P. Blair, Jr., in a speech at St. Louis, ’
on the evening of the 2d, said:
“In the present attitude of affairs, the con
dition of our State demands that we should
have proper representatives at Washington.—
Unfortunately we have men who misrepresent i
the sentiment of our people; men who do not
represent the popular sentiment of the State,
or the public sentiment of any decent portion
of this country. [Cheers.] And we must get
rid of them. [Cheers.] Notwithstanding the
laws which they have passed to keep them
selves in office, we must put them out of office.
[Cheers. ] The State would be better off, as
all the Southern States are, without any rep
resentation at all. Rather than be disgraced
by such a Het of “bumps on a log,” as these
fellows are, we had better be as Louisiana and
the balance of those States who are without
any representation at all. [Cheers.] Aud if
it were not for Hogan and Noell, we ought to
prefer to be in the position of those States
whose representatives are excluded from this
Rump Congress in Washington. [Cheers. ]
Bancroft’s oration is now being printed at
the Government printing-office, an edition of
thirty thousand copies having been ordered by
Congress. The frontispiece for the work has
been engraved on steel, at the Currency Bu
reau, and is now being printed by the new
method in use at the Treasury.— l&change.
That is throwing money away. It is use
lessly spent, as neither the Government nor
th* people have any use for the “oration.”
