The message was not delivered yester day. ftTiile the House was completing it# organization, the Senate, after wit- n—Iwj. mi outburst of Sumner on the mat’or of an intermixture of whites and -roes, adjourned over till noon to-day, when it is presumable that both houses will be ready to.receivt the message. Sumner’s movement in thJ# matter is characteristic of the man. He is nothing, if not purely selfish and sensational. His hybridising bill belongs to him and he means to keep sole and exclusive poeataion of the property. Ha wants to monopolize that distinction as the champion of Afri ca. If ho wanted ths bill to pass or ex. period to peas it, ho would neTer have seised such an oscaaion to thrust it down the throats of tho Senate. His purpose was to show Africa tho faithlessness of the Grant party in the Senate, and the boldness and fide] ty of Charles Sumner in behalf of the great cause of hybridism in the United States. Let us Ilnvo n Convention. The Chronicle and 8entinel insists, and with good reason, wo think, that there is no good reason why we should not have a Constitutional Convention at some con venient time daring the year; and sug gests that tliat tho people in that dis trict should hold a meeting on tho first Tuesday ip January-sale day—and in struct their representatives in tho Legis lature to vote for submitting tho ques tion to a voto of the people.

J.” passed down, and in common with his fellow passengers of tho sleeping car, encountered so many hard ships, called at this offico yesterday, and made the following satisfactory explana tion , On the night in question (a very bitter one) his entire force pf assistants were prostrated by sickness, end foe could se cure tho services of a tingle greenhorn ogly, who was improvised for the occa sion. Th® stock of wood placed in the car he declares v»s ample, but improvi dent passengers, of whom there was a large number, bound for the Pair, squan dered it incontinently. The soap. also, ho says was stolen, and tlie water in the ice coolers wasted. Boots were not blacked because the porter was disabled by sick- __j. Ho, himself, though in charge of on extra long train, had labored hard to supply nil deficiences, and even carried wood into tho cars with his own hsnds. This conductor is gn old and tried ser vant of the company, and we believe his statements implicitly. The circumstances wore certainly extenuating, though tho facts as stated by us were unquestionably true. Tho old Central has always been celebrated for its excellent management and the extra attention paid to the com fort of passengers. Wo should bo sorry to see it lose its prostigo in this partic ular; and from tho report of this con ductor and tho stir our letter lias occa sioned, do not bclievo that such will bo the yesulh ( m Mrc)iai>iV‘> Wages In Texas.

A Wxll Posted ••Gaasosa.”—The Athens Georgian tells the following story i A Granger, who is one of our best fanners, a highly intelligent and respect able citizen, holding offioe in the Grange, saw an article in an agricultural paper saying, to "prevent goats from jumping, cutoff their lower eye-lashes, and they will nevor jump." The gentleman, who owned a Urge herd of troublesome jump ing goats, called in his neighbors to wit ness the modus operands by whieh he cored his goats of this bad habit. They assem bled at hit house, anxious to boo what they believed to !>e an impossibility, Tho goats were called up, the shears sharpened, and one caught—when, to tho surprise of all, the goat had no under eyu-lashes. Several were caught and ex amined, but "nary oye-lasli” could be found. Not one of the assembled party knew that 4 gnat had no bashes on the lower lid, nr It they did, they determined to say nothing, hot enjoy the jqjfe on their friend and neighbor. AVx quote os follows from tho Columbus Sun, of Sunday: sy' Tax Rexains or Milton Malone.— Tho remains arrived from Atlanta last af ternoon at half post one o’clock on the Macon train. No notice had been given of their coming this way, except a brief telegram received in tho morning, which becamo known however to a considerable number. Several hundred friends met at the depot, and escorted nil that was left of their friend and acquaintance to the residence of his aunt, Mrs Musgrove. In the line were many of the nod prominent citizens of Columbus. Tho coffin, an ele gant one. was enclosed in a plain pine box. By request of many warm friends, tho parents consented to postpone the funeral until 9$ a. x. to-day. After the arrival at his aunt’s the coffin-plate was opened and many gazed on the liniaments of him who hod been their associate and schoolmate for many yeais. .Tho dead appeared to sleep calmly, almost a stuilc resting on his features. None of life's passions remained. , / A Gallant Soldier and a Good Citizen Gone.—It will grieve many hearts in Columbus to know that Mr. Henzy Henes died in Montgomery yes terday morning of yellow fever. We made a brief mention in onr noon pa per. The deceased was only thirty-six years of age. He was bom in Alsace, near the boundary of France and Ger many, but came to Columbus several years antedating the war, and resided here until 1872, when be moved to Mont gomery. A truer soldier the Confed eracy did net have. At first ho was a member of tho City Light Guards, Sec ond Georgia Battalion, and subsequently a daring scout to General Doaring. No wan in tho Army of Northern Virginia did his duty more faithfully for four years than he. A more chivalric, fear less heart never beat. He was a warm friend and open foe. He once .outwitted the whole detective force of the United States, including that prince of scoun drels. Whitcly. He has been thrice mar ried and has left a wife, nee Miss Mary Gresham, of Columbus, and one young child. HU life was insured for $3,000. He will be buried to-day in Montgomery. Tiraot-oii Cotton fob Savannah and New York.—The Western Railroad of Alabama, for the week ending last night, hod brought to Columbus, on route for Savannah aud New York. 1.14-1 bales of cotton. Of this amount 520 bales came from Mobile; 19* frpm Montgomery; 299 from Opelika and West Eoipt; 100 from Selma; 31 from Vicksburg. \ r /' Tnz Amfirieua Republican, of Saturday, announces tho death on Wednesday night last, of Mr. Walker Carter, of that place, from wounds inflicted by D.

The reason assigned is that since the carpet baggers were whipped out at the Georgia elections last fall, their allies have crowded on them so thick that it makes it npplcawit for their hog* and cattle. They die with ths sore throat. The Chronicle jnd Sentinel leoms from Mr. J. G. Ponder. *ho lives in Jefferson county, six miles east of Louisville, that the terrific storm of Sunday night, the 16th, visited his place and did great dam age ’ Ali the mules on the place were killed, and every tree was blown down and the timbers of the dwelling so twist ed and disjointed that if wjU h*T« to be pulled down and rebuilt. The storm also visited Mr. Ponder’s brother’s place near by, blew down several twos and destroyed the gin house and gin. Tux Savannah papers say the director* qf tljc pair Association of that city are well satisfied with the financial results of the late Fair. After psyiflg qll expenses embracing races, premiums, advertising, etc., besides paying up a debt accumulat ed by the last Fair, they announce that they have realized a handsome profit. The Telegraph and Hessenorr ia very glad to hear it. A Yooso Max Shot at and Peobablt Killed.—We find the following in the Savannah Advertiser of Sunday : A voung man named George W. Hines, who claimed to be a relative of Mr. Kirk- fey, of the firm of Kirksey A Scott, of this citv, visited station No. 11, on the Mae-on an J Brunswick road, a short time ago for the purpose- of soliciting thepo--.- tion of telegraph operator (such being his occnpat ion) at that point. A young ladvhad already procured the p>»tt“» and consequently Hr. Hines failoJ. While there he stopped with an aunt,-who taepi a boarding house, and, anfortooikjj, dan Westmoreland gave her lecture on “Shot- at Social Myths." The audience was also an eminently intellectual one. and its sympathy with the speaker was undeniable. The "social myths" of Mrs. Westmoreland wvr> our fricud.-, onr ac quaintances, our pnrpo. es and our be liefs. and the burden of her argument was to the effect that this life is but a fleeting show for man's illusion given; but the gloomiest view of our every day affairs was doubtless presented the better to suggest the brighter possibilities. The lecture included several shrrp and timely hit*, a* we call them, shot* at in disputable realities which are not social myths, and these, especially the allusions to’ Burriel and the problem in the ever- fa'thful isle, were warmly applauded. There was a reference to “those classical idiots," Damon and Pythias, who, having nothing else to do and being unburdened with fears of an after-life, were willing to die for each other. But friendj of this sort, the speaker thought, are not val uable now. Mr*. Westmoreland has a gentle, musi cal voice, and her personal appearance was sufficient to awaken a prejudice in her favor before she spoke the opening words of her discourse. We aw gratified to learn from other sources that the "lecture was a decided success in every respect; and that Mrs. W. will probably start upon a lecturing tour through the South and Southwest in February. We ore also pleased to know that she has seen and keenly appreciates our de fence of her against tho unkind and un just attacks of a portion of the Georgia press and their correspondents, as the following card testifies: New Yoek, November 27,1873. Mrs. Westmoreland presents her kind regards to the editors and proprietors of the Telegraph and Messenger, and de sires tq return her sipcere thanks to them for their defence of her against the unjust attacks made upon the small part she took in the " Woman’s Congress.” Increasing the Revenue. From the Cincinnati Commercial.] Washington, November 25.—Tho con cession is made on all bands that the rev enues must he increased, and the ques tion is as to tho method. The organiza tion of Congress is a high tariff organi zation. the Speaker, the Chairman of the Way-; aqd Moans and of the Senate Fi nance Committee being high tariff men. From all that can be gathered at present from Congressmen arrived and Treasury correspondence, there will be but little opposition to a return of the tax upon tea and coffee, and the protectionists from nil quarters will insist upon an increase of duty on metals, cotton and woolen goods, and staplo productions, with an abolition of internal foxes, provided for by Schedule C, which includes taxes on patent medicines, cosmetics, soaps, per fumery, matches, bank checks, drafts, and orders. The revenue reformers and low tariff men will insist upon the increaso be ing accomplished by maintaining, if not raising, the taxes, and increasing the duties on all fancy goods and articles of luxury. A strong, persistent effort will be mode to increase the tar on spiritu ous and malt liquors of all kinds, and tobacco in all it forms, bat it does not meet with favor, it is said, except among those who can hold large stocks. The Secretary of the Treasury, the Commis- missioncr of Internal Jtevenno, the Chair man of tho Cflmmittee of Ways and Means, and all of the officials who have to do with these matters, testify that our laws governing the collection of taxes upon thoso articles are working better now than they havo ever before, and they desire no change. Letters are -received daily from distillers, brewers, dealers, and others interested in distilled spirits and malt liquors, as well as producers of tobacco and cigars, expressing the utmost satisfaction with the present workings of the Internal Kevenuo laws as regards their products. The only persons com plaining are tho druggists against the annoyance of the proprietary tax on med icines and perfumery, Under these cir cumstances the disposition appeara to be to let the Internal Revenue laws alone, as meddling with them is usually for tho worse. As to raising the tax on sDirits and tobacco, as is feebly suggested, no one appears to favor it. Tennessee Iron Interests—Important Sale Near Chattanooga. The Chattanooga Commercial of tho 27th has the following: "Mr. James M. Burnup, of London, England, who some months since contracted by cable for a large body of valuable iron and coal land at Smith’s X Roads, the property of CoL W. A. Hoskins, of this city, arrived here on last Monday, and completed the sale by making the first payment. Mr. Burrmp, in company with Colonel Hos kins, left yesterday for Rhea ouunty for the purpose of acknowledging and having recorded the necessity papers. We are informed the intention is to im prove the property very soon by the erection of blast furnaces. Tho invest ment in itself is a very important one, and with ns a splendid one at this time, but in the vast iron territory around ns— it is but a speck. Mr. Bnmup bids fair to become as useful to our section of coun try by prosenUng ifo attractions to Eu- rope.’as General Wilder has proved him self to bo in introducing our rosduroes to the people of the United States. In ad dition to proving his faith by his works,- by investing a large amount of iron land contiguous to Chattanooga, he has pre pared and circulated in England a map showing the resources of lower EastTea- nossoe. He has also discussed the iron interest* of this country ia the columns of tho London Times, in a manner calcu lated to awaken the liveliest interest in onr immediate section on the part of Eng lish capitalists and iron masters. liquor, young Him Mayer, who i- — at the same ]; When un t a mm named in mere ban U-mg , and whether for the j a foolish inclination for "f un or fo’r the purpose of petting up a Jifficultv With Mayer, we do net know, but he ’thoughtlessly drew out pistol and pointed it at Mayer.

She proved to bathe Nangpore, an iron ship from Calcutta for Liverpool, with a cargo of cotton, jute and saltpetre. She had taken fire four days before and the crew h«A become so worn out in their efforts to keep down the flames that when she entered ths harbor they were unable to take in sail. Both anchors were let go, but they did not catch, and she drift ed among the vessel* with which the har bor was crowded. She struck a heavily laden schooner, causing her to sink, while the crew saved themselves by climbing into the rigging of the Nang pore. Another srhooner and a sloop were also wrecked by the burning vessel, the captain of the sloop being thrown over board and drowned. The Nangpor fimtllv came-to opposite the Royal Irish Yacht Clubhouse. And eh was sunk by the guns cf fwo revdnue cutters after it s I had been found that she could not be ly inside of the house, which was crowded | at the rime.

The stove and court-house walls were literally riddled with bullets ; while two men lay dead on the floor, one other mortally and three others slightly wounded. Theodore Davis. Sr., wax shot through the heart and died immediately, and his son, Larue Davis, after receiving four bullet* in hi* body, fell, and died in a few minutes. Theodore Davis, Jr., was shot through the body and also in the right hand. He lived until this morning and expired about ten o’clock. He walked from the court-liouse i to the Adam* Express office after he wax shot, and did not at the tune thick he wns seriously hurt. Phil. B. Thompson, Sr., was shot through the right thigh. J. B. and his brother, P. B., Jr., were wounded slightly and several holes shot through their clothing., D. M.. another brother, also had hi* clothes perforated with bul let*. One ball passed through his hat. The fight, though sudden, was not wholly unexpected, for it was generally known that both parties were armtd, and Judge IVickliffe had the day previous ordered the sheriff to arm himself and deputies, and be ready to quell any disturbance that might arise, and to "hip it in the bad” at all hazards. However, when the difficulty did begin the danger was thought to have been over, and the Sheriff, with the judge’s permission, hod gone home. The 16th of December has been set for the ex amining trial, and until then no further particulars will bo brought to light. The cause of the fight was about a suit which had been brought by one Meux against Theodore Davis for $2,500. Davis swore that he had paid the money, and produced the note as ovideuce. and Mr. Thompson, Sr., contended that the note had not been paid and that it had been surreptitiously obtained from his desk. Sack, I am in formed, was in substance the origin of the difficulty which terminated so seriously. A father and three sons were arrayed againsta father and three sons, and whilst I write, a father and two sons lie dead in one house, while a father and two sons lie wounded in another. Both families live on the same street, not far apart. The battle, for such it may bo called, was short, fierce anil decisive. There was no flickering.- All the parties were cool and determined and ptA a shut was fired at random or without aim. The dead will be buried in one grave to-morrow, and Wednesday, the 26th of November, 1873, will hereafter be known as tho “Bloody Wednesday” in the history of Harrods- burg. Foreign ministers at ■Wash ington. A gossipy Washington correspondent of tho Now York Graphic writes as fol lows concerning various members of the diplomatic corps in that city: The diplomatic circle which Mr. Cush ing adorns is the most mysterious of all our circles. The attaches generally eat at a cheap restaurant in the rear of Wil lard’s Hotel. The Ministers dine out when they eat anything. - The English Minister is an inoffensive, tall man, who walks as if ho were chasing liarc3 np Pennsylvania avenue. He has the best residence of any of them, having rented the honse of a Pittsburg gun-contractor, who gave shoddy entertainments during the war, made a large fortune, and" was finally cleaned -out by some Wall street sharps, so that he actually had to go to Europe with his family and live as mod erately as some of their kings. Sir Ed ward Thornton has been as efficient a Min ister of the United States as of England, and the last of his good works in onr behalf was to get a Parliamentary appro priation for a ministerial residence at Washington, on which the builders are now at work.. This is tho first investment made by any foreign government in the American Capital. The house stands on what is called “ Honest Miner’s Camp,” where Bill Stewart and the Pacific coast circle are patting np costly houses. Tho French Minister lias recently opened a roomy house in an cxecrablo new row. Ho is a polite, chirpy young man, with nothing much to do. By the way, Carl Schurz told me that he was so disgusted with the news of MacMahon succeeding. Theirs as controller of France that he would not go to Paris at all. The Aus trian and the North German Ministers are both Barons, and very unlike each other. Schlozer, who represents Bis marck, is often called the crazy Dutch man, on account of his walking foil tilt, and never carrying an umbrella in the rain. His vivacity, rapid speech and ges ticulation are all French. He is a bach elor, and a right good fellow, who will drop in anywhere and drink a glass of beer, and he is one of tho most gallant attendants on the American girls. His father wa* a diplomatist, and Schlozer has served in Mexico and Petersburg, and written several books on court in trigues. He says that Washington is the most pleasant city in tho world, and will be tho most perfect capital. The Aus trian Minister. Lcderer, is an aristocratic old gentleman, with a slender body and finely shaped head, which is said to con tain no very great contents. But he looks both Francis Joseph and Maria Theresa- Attempt to Break Jail—A Persnasive Argument in tho Shape of Five Kegs of Powder. Little Rock, Ark., November 2S.—On Tuesday last the prisoners in Clarksville jail overpowered the guards and took pos session of their arms. The alarm was given before they got ont, and the citizens of the town surrounded the jail. One of the prisoners, Sid Wallace, sentenced to be hung on the 23d of next month, fired a double-barrel shot gun at two citizens in the street, severely if hot fatally wounding both. The citizens then took possession of the first floor of the jail, put five kegs qf powder in it, laid a train for some distance, and notified the priso ners' that unless they surrendered in thirty minutes they would blow up the building. After a little parley they sur rendered, throwing their arms out at the window. As one of the guns struck the ground it went off. slightly wounding three persons. Wallace and another of the prisoners were brought here last night and lodged in the penitentiary. He will be taken out and hung next month. He has killed quite a number' of men, among them the late Hon. Elisha Jlerse, Circuit Judge, and is the must desperate character in that section of country. .

Latest from tlic Ville du Havre Dis aster. London, December 1.—The following additional particulars of the loss of the Ville du Havre have been gathered from officers and passengers at Cardiff: The Ville du Havre experienced a thick fog until the 20th. At the time of the col lision the weather was clear, with little wind blowing; but there was a heavy sea. The captain had just retired tfnd the second officer was m charge. The lights on the streamer were all right. The collision was wholly unexpected. The Lochearn struck the steamer amid ships, and made a chasm 12 feet deep and from 25 to 30 feet wide. The exact posi tion of the Ville du Havre at the time was, latitude 47:9J, longitude 35:31. A panic tool; possession of the passengers. Five minutes after the collision the main and mizz’en masts fell across two large boats which were filled with people and ready for Launching. The boats were crushed, and many of their occupants 'killed and injured. In the brief interval between the col lision and the sinking of the steamer tdie crew were able to launch only a whale boat and the captain’s gig. The Lo chearn went a mile before stepping. She then got ont boaU tP piefc up the people straggling in tho water. Mje?;ntimc the whale-boat, under the command of the second lieutenant of the vessel, picked up one load of those who were clinging to planks, spars, etc., and took them to the Lochearn. Sho re turned to the scene and rescued another load. Captain Surmont, who remained on deck to the last, was rescued by this boat. Three quarters of an hour after the col lision, one of his officers swam a mile to the Lochearn and was hauled on board with a rope. The boats continued to search the water in the vicinity of the disaster until there was no hope of sav ing more lives. The cold was intense. Many of the survivors were immersed two hours and were almost lifeless when res- i cued. The ship Tri-Mountain sighted, iho j Lochearn at 8 a. >r., six hcUqS 'Alter the I sinking of the eter.mq^ and rescued th.t* | survivors befcic, reported.
