Happj I>ooly.
The writer, on a late occasion, had the
pleasure of forming the acquaintance of
two charming young ladies from Byrom-
rilfa. who are graduates of Wesleyan
Collar*.
They were as fresh and iraouciantt aa
the daisies and honeysuckles of their own
woodland home. And commend me to
those country belles who possess culti
vated minds, and are yet free from the
conventionalities and frivolities of some
of their city sisters. There was nothing
blase or common place About these fair
girls. Attired, if not in the absurd ex
tremity of the fashion, yet tastily and
becomingly, there was an earnestness and
naivete in their manners and conversation,
which was exceedingly attractive. The
birds that carol so sweetly in their leafy
coverts were not ‘freer from affectation
than they.
In the sprightly conversation that en
sued, they declared that the miserable
"panic * which, like the ghost of Banquo,
will pop up everywhere, and on all occa
sions. had never, in the least, disturbed
the silvan retreat of their rural home.
Reading, for the most part, the weekly
Tklkobaph and Mkmknoer, and skip
ping tho financial articles, many had not
oven heard of the great crash, or cared a
r »sh for Jay Cooke and his bankrupt
crowd. The truth is, in Dooly people
raise their own Hour, moat, syrup, chick
ens, butter, etc., drive sleek horses, and
snap their lingers at the mcro cotton
grower who, with all his pretension, is
always out at the elbows and hard up.
At least the girls said this was tho stylo
in their neighborhood. With all these
luxuries, vegetables and fruit in abun
dance, and no fuel bills or rents to pay,
what cured they for "fluctuations in
trade" or any.scarcity of currency. Why,
the whole concern might be wiped out*
and, barring a few superfluities and
money for taxes, they would practically
be none the worse off. lienee it is not
surprising that these happy mortals don’t
care a continental for bulls and bears, fu
tures, stocks, or any other Wall street
deviltry. They raise what they need,
and hold or sell their cotton at pleasure.
This is tho acme of real independence,
and the tru* solution of all the troubles
of our farming friends. And it was tho
absence of the pinching want and oorroding
cares of exclusive cotton plant : ng commu
nities that made onrsweet girls so cheery
and happy. Let the whole country pur
sue the same coarse, and peace and plen
ty will again smile upon every village and
hamlet n the land.
Our fair friends left the train at Pow-
erxville to attend a Baptist Association in
the vicinity, and we felt that much of the
nnnshinc and pleasure of our journey had
departed with them. Bat they will
come to the Fair, and then with Mad-
amo's permission we shall again pay our
respects to them.
Exit Jny Gould.
The Tribune, of Friday, says the most
important feature of Thursday, on Wall
street, was the announcement of tho re
tirement of Jay Gould from the Presi
dency of the New Jersey Southern Rail
road, his partnership arrangements, and
from the " street” Mrs. Gould’s health
has become impaired, anil it was deempd
advisable to order a change of scene and
climate. Mr. Gould has thus far been
making preparations for an early depart
ure from the city, to be absent a number
of month*. It is not known whether he
will go South or to Europe, those being
his objective points.

The Advertiser of Sunday says there
U far more suffering in that city ±rom

many families are without the means of

supplied there will be much suffering.

vailed there for more than a month, and

Tux District Elxctiok.—The Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
G.txetto, writing on the 16th inst., tells
the story of this election as follows :
•» The summing up of the vote in this
district shows a falling off of nearly fifty
per cent, over tho election organieing the
new government. The total vote cost at
the organisation was 26,300; total at the
present election. 14,156. The Colored
vote was about 11.000, leaving alout
3,000 as the total white vote, or, in oth-
words, very few, if any, of the latter
class beyond those directly employed by
or connected with the Boom of Public
Works.” In other word.-, the white men
of the District of Columbia, thoee who
pay the taxes, have, in consequence of
the iniquities practised in elections there,
been constrained to abandon the govern
ment to ths control of the negroes and
their white leader*, the latter of whom
jure growing rich at the public expense
through the contracts they are enabled
to control.

125 miles of territory in Eastern Tennes
see and Western North Carolina, many
of which were brought into Knoxville
yesterday. The gang is said to include
postma-ters. United States marshals, i
clerks of courts, justices of the peace,
lawyers, doctors snd merchants. It was
an extensive arrangement to countervail
the hoarding policy of the banka and pnt
the "medium” in active circulation. All
"his has been rudely interrupted by
mounted police, who snapped up these
enterprising and live people without a
moment’s warning, and to-day the whole
party are reflecting on their ways in the
solitude of the dungeon. Such is the un
certainty of human affairs.
We ax* reminded of about thirty years
ago when atfone fell swoop a great oordon
of active spirits stretching from the Gulf
coast to Missouri, were quite as suddenly
stopped in their occupation of coining
Mexican dollars. The rascals made a
very fair dollar, at first; but after a time,
debased it so much that it was little bet
ter than pewter. This fact mined their
business. For up to that time, for yean,
the bogus dollars circulated with free
dom, being considered, on the whole abont
as good as the Mexican—only twenty pe
cent, below par, which was adjudged to
be a reasonable compensation for the
trouble of making them. But, as we
have said, the rogues got to be greedy
and dishonest, and their entire bu*ii
was mined between suns. So much for
disregarding high moral principles,
trade.
But this East Tennesse gan ; started
out on false principles. They counter
feited paper and gave nothing whatever
to conciliate the support and encourage
ment of a liberal public. They presumed
on tho "high moral” position they enjoy
ed os loyalists and members of the Re
publican party, and are therefore justly
nipped in the bnd. Nevertheless, if the
banka don't furnish some currency soon,
the people may be tempted to take these
bogus bills at all hazards rather than be
penniless. If they are as good as Wogan
&. Wimpy’s currency there is danger.

A SCBSCRIBEk.
Not* bt th* Editors. - The foregoing
takes ns "all aback;” for we had as lit
tle idea of joining in or endorsing the
invective against. Dr. Curry a* our corre
spondent could possibly have. It seems
to us he ha* traveled altogether beyond
the record to place us in a position we
never intended to occupy. We ask, in
the article referred to:
" How could the Dean of Canterbury,
representing my Lord Archbishop, the
Primate of the English Church, and a
great Hierarchy drawing some $800,000.-
000 of revenue per annum through the
good offices of the British Government—
we say how could he listen quietly to the
Rev. Dr. Curry, of Richmond, Va,

and valued at $1,500.
The Defalcation in the Atlanta
Pott-office.—The following card appears
in th»* Atlanta papers of yesterday:
To the Public.—In order to set at
rest the vague reports respecting the de-
id friend* of faloation of my son as Money Order Clerk
and divine! * n ^ Atlanta Post-office, I now present
the following facts: Since the first of
October the receipts of money order funds
from various offices, have been greatly in
creased—embracing thousands of dollars,
all of which increased temptation to steal
and flee to parts at present unknown. The
careful and laborious examination of the
Money-Order Books of this Office, under
the pqpervfaion of special agent P. H.
Woodward, discloses the fact that within
a few days past, $6,000 was abstracted
and an attempt made to cover a portion
of this deficit by one false entry, and a
failure to give credit for other moneys
received, which, when added, made $6,000.
To you. gentle reader, I claim this loss as
belonging to myself and family, and like
a former misfortune from this same cause
as I met that loss, I will meet this by
slicing my property for the payment of
every dollar to the Post-office Depart
ment. This is the money view of the
case, but society has a just claim that
every citizen shall obey the law or suffer
the consequences of its violation, of which
■ my son is clearly guilty and ought to be
tested ugaiH't his discourse as exquisitely J punished. I will neither palliate or ex-
Strikes Superceded.
The necessity of labor union strikes
seems about to be obviated by the gen
eral stoppage of shops and mills on their
own account. This will save much hard-
feeling, borides what is spent on music
in union strikes. There will be no neces
sity, and we fear very little use, in bold
ing meetings or processions over these
strikes—which are not so much strikes as
being struck, and suffering common loss.
It is a condition of affairs in which op
eratives suffer, and mill owners merely
lose; and in this respect it teaches thoee
whose only capital is labor, that the em
ployers* loss may be attended with some
thing even wowo than mero pecuniary \
loss to tho employed.
It comes after all the foolish omten-
tions and exactions, noise, fuss and flum
mery of labor union strikes which have
filled the telegrams to a great extent for
two years past, to show the latter that
the interests of these two classes, are not
necessarily discordant, but that a mere
financial pinch of the ono may be a hun
ger-pinch to tho other. «
It is melancholy to read, day after day,
of the suspension of great manufacturing
establishments and the discharge of op
eratives by the hundred, when we know
that most of these laboring men repre,
sent families, and the greater port of
them, being dependent on wages for sub
sistence. are absolutely without any ac
cumulation of resources against the se
verities of approaching winter. A great
deal of suffering must reasonably be ap
prehended, and it will tax all the ener
gies and resources of the North to pre
vent starvation and freezing.
Memphis and tlie Fever.
The following is on extract from a pri
vate letter of Dr. S. Landrum, of Mem
phis to a friend in this city, and copied
by permission. It gives a gloomy ac
count of the fever in Memphis, and-cre
ates ardent hopes that the cool weather
will mitigate, if not entirely extinguish,
its horrors:
Memphis. Octob rr 16.
Nothing that I have Known in war’s
dark days surpasses the horrors of this
pestilence. No bnsiness but that con
nected with sickness and death receives
attention; and the city is more quiet
than formerly its Sabbaths were. The
hearses go in a rapid trot all day, and
.express wagons ore also used to caiTy off
the dead, and then aU are not buried in
time. \Ye have to beg the undertakers
to bury the dead, and then must wait
their hours.
There have been many deaths in the
First and Chelsea (Baptist) Churches;
in our church (the Central) three—Mrs.
Dodson. Arthur Howe and wife. The
larit left mo an infant four weeks old.
We kept it at our house last night, but
found a family to adopt it to-day. Dr.
Blount, formerly of Montgomery, Ala., fa
•langorously ill, and may die to-night. I
closed the eyes of John Rogers, son of oar
friend S. C. Rogers. Brother Lofton is
sick; as yet his attack is light, hut befa
very nervous. Hatchett, Craig, Yerrir,
the*Dillards and J. R, Graves are all away.
The First Church has had no services for
painful to some of the listeners, and its
continuation as unchristian and ungentle-
manly. '
Why no wonder? Evidently enough
from the context, not because Dr. Curry
was guilty as charged, but because his
discourse struck at the roots of a great
Church and State Union producing such
revenues-a stupendous religico-political
establishment which, in the very nature
of things, it was impossible for its adhe
rents to abandon willingly, or patiently
to listen to any powerful attack, like that
by Dr. Curry, on its underlying princi
ples. Here was presented one grand and
apparently insurmountable obstacle to
such an union as that which seemed to be
contemplated by some of the members
of the Evanglical Alliance.
We presume very few readers could
possibly have adopted the misunder
standing and misinterpretation suggested
by our correspondent. Ceit&inly we had
no conception of being understood as sanc
tioning the censure upon Dr. Curry.
Now about the words used in convey
ing that censure. Our correspondent
thinks the term " ungentlemanly ” was
not used. We were writing from a re
port at length in one of the New York
papers, and must have used the terms
therein given. Our own telegraphic re
port, October 9th, says the chairman at
the time of interrupting tho discussion
said he thought it would be " discour
teous and unchristianly ” to continue it,
and that Dr. Curry protested against be
ing* termed by the chairman as "dis
courteous and unchridianlike.” Wo
cannot speak with absolute assurance,
but feel morally certain that we used tho
exact words in the report then "before ns.
But whethor we did or not is veiy unim
portant, so far wo are concerned, be
cause we had no idea of coinciding either
in their use or in their application to Dr.
Curry. Our sole idea was simply to
show (not that the term» were deserved
or proper) but that t*ie " exquisite pain,”
spoken of by the chairman as feltby many
of the listeners, to Dr. Curry’s remarks,
was not at all wonderful, but natural
and inevitable from the very position of
the parties, and that they could never
agree upon the propositions of a volun
tary independent organization which Dr.
Curry pronounced indispensable to a
pure church and to civil and religious
liberty.
We trust wo have mode this matter
too dear for further misconception.
cuse this criminal offense against this
ountry or the country to which he be
longs. and whose good name it was his
duty to have maintained by living an up
right life. I have given the facts in
brief, and will, with my wife, go to our
room and sleep, if we can, and in the
morning shoulder our private grief and
toss without a mnrmur in the public ear.

“Tlie Old Democratic Fossil.”
During the late canvas* in Ohio the
trooly loyl stumpers, and newspaper wits
made merry over the candidacy of Hon.
William Allen, the Democratic candidate
for Governor. They said he had been
buried for twenty-five years—was a fossil,
a pre-hfatoric relic, etc., and snickered
and jeered at the old man to their heart’s
content. Among others who had his
fling at "old Bill Allen,” as they derisively
called him, was the Satan of American
politics. Morton of Indiana, who, on one
occasion, delivered himself of the follow

The Result of College Secret Society
Tomfoolery.
The press dispatches in announcing, a
few days since, the death of a young stu
dent of Cornell college named Leggett,
at Ithaca, New York, by a fall over a
cliff, did not tell all the criminal horrors
of the affair. A special in the Tribune of
Friday furnishes them a* follows :
The members of the K*ppa Alpha fra
ternity, having elected young Legg.*tt a
member, met on tho bank of a creek just
outside the village, a few eveningi since,
and, after ordering the candidate to step
into a ring, he was seized by half-dozer.
BHurtS students, hi* hands Bound behind
hi and blindfolded. He was then chased
jp and down the banks o? the stream,
while a larsre number of students looked
on from a distance, amused at the terror
and struggles of young Leggett Sud
denly two of the students in charge of
young Leggett disappeared with their
victim. Hearing groans and cries, a
number of students took means to reach
the bottom of a deep gorge in the vicini
ty, and the three unfortunates were found
on an abrupt bank, lying across each other
and suffering the most intense agony.
It was there found that Leggett
after falling over the precipice, fifty
feet in height, had struck on his head,
fracturing the skull, breaking the bones
of the nose, and partly dislocating the
neck. He lived about half an honr after
the fall, but was unconscious, and con
stantly moaning "Oh! don’t!” "Take it
off! Take it off!” referring, it' is sup
posed, to the banda go over his eye3. Ono
of hi3 torturers had his collar bone brok
en and was slightly bruised about the
body, while the other had his thigh se
verely bruised, and. it is feared, suffered
internal injuries. The alarm was at once
given, and the officers and students of the
University started for the scene of tho
tragedy. Before young Liggett had
been conveyed to his room, however, he
expired, and his parents in Washington'
were at once notified of tho outrageous
performance which had resulted in the

We find pie following in an Atlanta
paper, of yesterday:
Grand Movement tiif DeKai.b
County Farmers.—On yesterday was tho
regular day for the meeting of the Al
ston Grange, No. 33. The low price to
which cotton had declined in Atlanta
was the chief topic of discussion. The
fact that cotton is now selling in Liver
pool at 9d. to 9?d. in gold, makc3 13j in
Atlanta, al»surdly low. It was therefore
decided that a united effort should be
made by tho farmers of DeKalb to ship
a cargo of cotton direct to Liverpool.
The folio wing paper was circulated among
the farmers for their signature, and
signed by. every one to whom it was
shown: “Whereas, cotton is selling in
dtlanto at 13J cents; and whereas, the
same cotton is worth in Liverpool 9d. to
91d. in gold, equal to 19(i'191c. currency;
and whereas, a bale of cotton can be
hipped via Port Royal or Charleston
and sold in Liverpool for less than $15
i >er bale, it is clear the farmer is losing
: >16 to $20 on every halo soli in Atlanta.
Be it therefore agreed among us whose
names are hereto signed, tliat we will
ship our entire crop to Liverpool via
Charleston or Port Royal, sending our
own supercargo, who will sell it to the
manufacturer, and account directly to us
for the proceeds.” More than two hun
dred bales were subscribed before sun
down. The matter has been placed in
the hands of Mr. Jos. Ree**, Master of
Alston Grange, Edward Cor, and others
among the most enterprising and active
citizens of the county, and it is confi
dently expected that two thousand bales
will be ready for shipment by the 1st of
November.
The Sparta Times and Planter says
crime is on the increase among the ne
groes of that county. After a whole week
devoted to the criminal docket, the Supe
rior Court adjourned leaving several
criminals in jaiL
The same papei says the Hancock cot
ton crop will all he ready for market by
the middle of November. Also that dip-
theria is prevalent in the northern part of
that county.
The Quitman Banner ha3 the following:
Miss Mary Patman whom our readers
will remember was brutally assaulted at
her residence near Quitman, and left for
dead bv three negroes, whose intention
was robbery, is slowly recovering, but it
is not believed that she will be in a con
dition to appear as a witness in a commit
ment trial «f tho accused within at least
tiie next ten or twelve days, and a hear
ing will probably not be had until the ap
proaching term of the Superior Court,
which commences in Brooks county week
after next. The prisoners are still in
jail, where we presume they will remain
until court.

Arrival of German Immigrants,—
Two or three German families arrived
here a day or two ago by steamer from
New York, and will settle in the country
not far from Savannah. Ofle of those
families is that of Mr. Ludwig Mieir, who
brings his wife and six children. Mr.
Mieir will settle on a place belonging to
Mr. A. Kohler, at No. % on the Central
death of their promising son. The high
handed proceeding has o<?carioned tho
most intense indignation in Ithaca, and
it is thought that summary measures will
be taken for punishing the murderers.
The affair is undergoing the most rigid
investigation by the proper authorities,
and meanwhile tho members of tho secret
society are under guard in anticipation of
their being held responsible for the mur
der.
Antecedents ot a $300,000
Defaulter.
The Tribune, of Friday, gives tho an
tecedents of Chas. H. Phelps, the de
faulting cashier in the office of tho New
York State Treasurer, from which it ap
pears that he is, or ought to be well known
in Georgia and the South. It says:
He was bom in Oneida county, this State
raised in Monroe county, and is 42 years
old. In 1852 he was appointed manager
of the Printing Telegraph Company in
New York City, which po ifclon ho held
faro years. He then wont to Washington
as manager of the same telegraph co:m
pany in that city, whore he remained five
years. He next took the position of
agent, cashier, and assistant superintend
ent of Adams Express Company in the
Southern States, which, after’the war be
gan, was known os tho "Southern Express
Company.” He remained in that posi
tion through the war and up to 1SG6,
when ho went to New York City and con-
ported himself uith Milo Ha tab, as bank
er and broker, Hateh having previously
held the position for 18 years of cashier
of the Mechanics' Bank of Georgia. H«*
remained with Hatch one year, and then
went to Florida to take charge of the
Southern Express Company again, with
his headquarters at Jacksonville. From
that position he was called to take the of
fice of ticket agent of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad Company, with his head
quarters at Atlanta, Georgia.
Thenco he came back to New York
city and was appointed by Collector
Grinnell a weigher in the custom-house.
On the accession of Mr. Murphy to the
Collector-ship Phelps W3s removed from
office for political reasons/as were* many
more of Hr. Griunell’s appointees. He
then took a position for a few- months ir
the Chief Clerk’s office at police head
quarters in New York, from which place
he came to Albany to take the office of
money clerk or cashier in the Treasury'
Deportment.
A Romantic Young- La<ly Elopes
With a Piute Brave.
The Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise, of
Octobe- 7, says:
A few days since the daughter of a well
to-do ranchman, residing on the head
waters of the Walker river, a handsome
and well educated young lady about six
teen or seventeen years of age, eloped
with a young man of the Piute persua
sion, who had been working about her
father's place. The girl and her dusky
lover got considerably the start of her
father, and, it would soem, did some tall
traveling toward tho wilderness and the
warrior’s castle of sagebrush on the Lake
of Walker; but the father did not let the
grass grow under Ids feet or his horse’s
hoofs. He procured the best horse in tho
s ttlement, and rode a distance of one
hundred and eighty miles in 18 hours.
He caught hia runaway daughter some
where between Walker Lake and tho Sink
of the Carson, and snatched her bald-
headed. What became of the gallant
lovyer” we have not learm-d. The
chances ore that the irate parent made
so warm for him that he will not hereaf
ter hanker after a white father-in-law.

Of R. M. Richards, who was murdered
in Nashville a few days ago, the Union
and American says: "He had taken a
(not interest in the present ur fortunate
condition of the Memphis people, and last
week took up a collection at his theatre
during the rehearsal one morning for
their benefit. A very haudsome sum was
raised, and to thfa he’ added fifty dollars
his own contribution, and had the amount
forwarded to Memphis at once. It was
his intention to turn over the entire re
ceipts of the performance at the Academy
of Music to-night to the Memphis suffer
ers, and had made arrangements to give
a benefit far that purpose. Ricnards was
known to be a very free-hearted, generous
man, and expended a great deal of money
in charities. Kate Leslie, whose name
has figured somewhat pro ninently in con
nection with this sad affair, is a woman
about twentv-eight or thirty years of age,
and of superior education. She has been
on the stage for a number of years, and
at the time of Ada Menkin’s marriage
with John C. Hoenan, lived in the same

Col. Hughes’ Disability Question.
The friends of Col. Hughes deny that
he is disqualified for the office of Gov
ernor of Virginia. They say he went to
Tennessee in July, 1870, to compromise a
quarrel but failed to make peace; but
found there would be no fight. He de
livered no letter understood by him to
be a challenge leading to a duel. If he
had delivered a challenge it was in Ten
nessee, and although the Constitution of
Virginia applies to a principal sending
or accepting a challenge outside of tho
State, it does not apply to one delivering
a challenge unless it is delivered in the
State.
