HOURS.
Words are lighter than the clond-form
Of the restless ocean-spray :
Vainer than the trembling shadow
That the next hour steals away.
By the fall of summer raindrops
Is the air as deeply stirr’d ;
And the rose-leaf that we tread on
Will outlive a word.
Yet on the dull silence breaking
With a lightning tiash. a word
Bearing endless desolation
On its blighting wings. I heard.
Earth can forge no keener weapon
Dealing snier death and pain,
And the cruel echo answer'd
Through long years again.
I have known one word hang star-like
O'er a dreary waste of years.
And it only shone the brighter
Look'd at through a mist of tears;
While a weary wanderer gather'd
Hope and heart on life's dark way,
By its faithful promise shining
Clearer day by day.
I have known a spirit calmer
Than tlie calmest lake, and clear
As the heaven that gazed upon it,
With no wave of hope or fear;
But a storm had swept across it,
And its deepest depths were stirr’d.
Never, never more to slumber.
Only by a word.
I have known a word more gentle
Than the breath of summer air,
In a listening heart it nestled,
And it lived forever there.
Not the beating of its prison
Stirr’d it ever, night or day :
Only with the heart’s last throbbing
Could it fade away.
Words are mighty, words are living;
Serpents with their venomous stings,
Or bright angels crowding round us
With heaven's light upon their wings:
Every word has its own spirit.
True or false, that never dies :
Evi ry word man’s lips have utter’d
Echoes iu God s skies.

CHALYBEATE
SPRINGS.
S INCE the last Season I have radi-
cally changed the appearance of
my place. 1 have arranged nty build- M
ings in such a manner as will conduce
most to the convenience and comfort of my guests.
Tbe Bathing Houses are in good repair, and an
ample supply of [litre water in readiness.
There are FOUR 8I‘R1NG8 immediately on the
campus—Chalybeate, Sulphur, and Free Stone
The excellence of these waters, especially the
Chalybeate, in the cure of Chronic Diarikeca,
Dyspepsia, Kidney and Eruptive Diseases, lias
been tested too often, and their curative powers
too widely known, to require any extended ac
count of them.
To all those who are generally debilitated tlie
Chalybeate water is earnestly recommended, from
whatever cause the debility may have originated.
It is also an invaluable remedy fora great many of
tim diseases to whieh the fi male constitution is
subject. To those who have not, and wish an ap
petite, I say
Come and Brink at thr Fount of \atiiro.
To all those who are sc king pleasure, pleasant
temperature, and pure air, we emphatically say
“here is the place." We have bad visitors who
have been to the various Watering Places at the
North in quest of health, who found no relief until
they came to these Springs.
l’he Chalybeate Springs are situated in Mer-
ri wet her County,2n miles from Geneva (on the
Muscogee Railroad,) also the same distance front
Thomaston (the terminus of the Bart
Thomaston Railroad.) There will be a DAILY
LINE OF COACHES from both these places TO
THE SPRINGS.
I also take the liberty here to state that the
WARM SPRINGS are in readiness for the ac
commodation of Visitors. They are only? miles
fn.tn ti e Chalybeate, to and from which there
will be daily Coaches.
Permit me to return grateful thanks for past
patronage, ami extend a cordial invitation for the
ensuing season.

The Fall of l.utknou’.
The Englirh papers received by the Steamer
Canada are largely occupied with accounts of the
fall of Lucknow, and descriptions of the rich
plunder obtained by the British army in India.
The palaces of Lucknow were filled with eviden
ces of barbaric magnificence—by the richest car
pets by sumptuous divans, by cushions covered
with golden embroidery, by rich screens of Cash-
mere shawls, am! by table covers ponderous with
peat Is and gold
'I be following passage is from the letter of the
correspondent of the Loudon Times:
“The Kaiserbagh cannot be described. The
place is a series ot palaces, kiosks, mosques, all of
fanciful Oriental architecture—seme light and
graceful, others merely fantastic and curious, aud
connected generally by long corridors arched and
open in the front, or by extensive wings, which
enclose the courts and gardens contained within
the outer walls. Iu every room throughout the
endless series there was a profusion of mirrors in
ponderous gilt frames. A universal gilding of
cornices, furniture, and everything that would
bear the process, seemed tlie prevailing taste of
the royal court. From every ceiling hung glass
chandeliers of every age. form, color aud design.
As to the furniture, in many instances it looked
Jike collections from the lumber rooms of all the
old palaces iu Europe—Louis Quartze clocks and
cabinets, Renaissance mirrors and chairs, buhl
walked ebony chests, niavqueterie tables solid
lumpy old German state chairs, gilt all over; but
these were relieved by tho richest carpets, by
sumptuous divans, by cushions covered with gold
en embroidery, by rich screens of Cashmere
shawls, aud by table covers ponderous with pearls
and gold. Iu some of the rooms there were a few
good pictures, said to be by Sir Joshua Reynolds,
Zoffany and Beecliy, but 1 did not see any traces
of Sir Joshua on the walls when I entered, and
there was only one picture which looked at all like
a Lawrence.
There were numerous portraints of the present
and former Kings of Ouue, and oil copies of the
portaits of Governor General, of Wellington, Nel-
son, George IV aud Bonaparte, many Chinese
drawings, French crayons and English engravings
of all sorts, even those from Williamson’s Wild
Sports of the East, an old and almost forgotten
book on tiger hunting, in gorgeous frames, but
the hand of the spoiler was heavy among them all
Those hung out of the teach of the musket stock
and bayonet were scarcely safe from a bullet or
the leg of a table. Down came chandeliers in a
tinkling, clattering rain of glass—crash! crash!
crash! doors and window, and mirror andpen-
dttle! tSikh end soldier were revelling in destruc
tion and delirious with plunder and mischief.
Those who could not get in at once to carry on
the work, searching th * corridors, battered off the
noses, legs aud arms of the statues in the gavdetts,
or diving into cellars, either made their fortunes
by the discovery ot unsuspected treasure, or lost
tlieir lives at the hands ot concealed fanatics.
There was no tin. to guard against indiscriminate
plunder, inasmuch as it was never expected that
the Kaiserbagh and all its treasures would have
lallen that day into our hands.
Nothing but a photograph can give a notion of
Luekuow as it is seen from the minaret or roof of
this building—such a sea of routs, amid green
groves aud gardens, surmounted by gilt domes
and slender minarets, and all the strange combina
tions of lines and ornaments lit which oriental
architects delight I The large room of the Imaum-
barrali, which seemed to have been used as a sort
of museum, and contained many curious models
of mosques, and many fine glasses aud chande
liers, was a heap of ruins and every building
bore some mark oi our shot and shell. Working
our way through sikhs busy in melting down gold
and silver lace in huge fin s under eartliern pots
which served as crucibles, through wounded
Ghoorkas staggering back to the rear, we approach
ed the Kaiserbagh by the street along which Have
lock’s rear guard marched towards the Residency.
Our meu were iu high delight with the gay
dresses of the eunuchs, which they found in some
of the room-', and it was with dirocultv they were
induced to take off the crow ns uf lace and pea
cock s plumes, and bird of paradise feathers, and
the swordbelts they stuck over their heads and
shoulders. Here, as in every other building,
there were quantities of kites, the flying of which
seems a favorite amusement of these childish but
ferocious races. Goats, horses, the stately Cyrus
cranes, tame monkeys, apes, antelopes, aud num
bers of paroquets in cages, were also appropriated
by the men.
In the m-xt court, which was sheltered from fire
by the walls around it, our men had made a great
•cizure of rich plunder. They had burst into
some of tlie .State apartments, and were engaged
in dividing the spoils ot shawls and lace and em-
brodicry of gold and silver and pearls. In a nook
of this court, where there was a little shade, we
retired to rest ourselves, as there were uo means
of approaching, the front part of the buildings
being on lire, and explosions of mines feared ev
ery moment. Two men of the 90th were in be
fore us, and assisted by some of the 38th, we saw
them appropri,. sufficient money’s worth to make
them independent for life. The rooms of this nook
had been used as stoics by the King or some
wealthy member of his household, and each mo
ment these men went iu only to emerge with a
richer trophy.
In om* box they found diamond bracelets, em
eralds aud opals ; all were so large and bright and
badly set, that we believed at the time they w ere
glass. In another was a pair of gold mounted
and jewelled duelling pistols, of English make,
and the bill, stating that His Majesty the King of
Glide owed the makes ii 180 ; then out they came
with bundles of swords, gold mounted and jewel
led. which they at once knocked to pieces for the
sake of tho mountings, leaving the blades behind
them. Next came out a huge chemical laboratory,
then a gold saddle cloth, studdied with pearls ;
then gold headed riding canes; the cups of agate
and jade, gold mounted and jewelled, then—hut
I must really stop this broker's inventory. The
happy possessors of these riches were quite mad
with excitement. “Is this gold, sir?” “Is that a
diamond?" “Is your honor-Imre that's raal goold’”
“Is this string of little white stones (pearls) worth
anything, gintlemen V
It was a great drawback to have a conscience
under such circumstances—a greater not to have
a penny in one's pockets, for iu this country no
one except an old stager on the lookout for loot,
carries a farthing about hint, and, as one of the
soldiers observed, ‘these here concerns only carries
on ready money transactions!” He was an ex
perienced operator that geutleman. If a native
soldier came in aud walked off with anything
winch he found iu a dark corner, out pounced our
friend upon him, rifle in hand. “Leave that there,
I tell you. I put that there myself!” and there
was something in his eye which explained his
meaning so clearly that the article w as at once
abandoned, and if fouud to be valuable was re
tained ; if not, was “made a present of.” Close
to us were large floxes of japanned work contain
ing literally thousands of cups aud vessels of jade,
of crystal, and of china, which the soldiers were
listlessly throwing on the ground and breaking
into atoms. Had the enemy made a strong attack
on us at that moment, not one-half of cur troops
could have been collected to repell it. And such
were the scenes through every court of the many
mansions of the Kaisbagh.
Scenes Among tbe Mormons.
The correspondent of the N. Y. Times commu
nicates some startling accounts of outrages, as
detailed to him by Mr. Loba, ex-Mormon liigh
priest:
“A few days before Loba left the valley, a Mor
mon suspecting, with reason, that his wife—who
was familiar with many of the dreadful secrets of
Mormoaism—was contemplating an escape, went
into her room while she was asleep and cut tier
throat. Her body, the next day, was prepared
decently for the grave, and buried—nobody ven
turing an inquiry, however, as to the circum
stances of her tragical end. For this monstrous
act, Brigham laid hands on the murderer, blessing
him "in the name of Israel’s God,’ because he
had not ‘spared the sacrifice.’
“If a man has any influence with the prophet,
he has no difficulty in having any enemy put out
uf the way. He has only to go and assert that he
heard his enemy blaspheme against the prophet,
and his doom is sealed. The accused is not in
formed of the accusation in such a case. There
is no investigation—but the man disappears, and
nobody inquires aloud w hat lias become of him
Mr. Loba himself had a difficulty with one Stains,
a favorite spy of Brigham’s, from whom heobtain-
ed power to take liis life. Loba, knowing so well
the under currents of the Mormon despotism, sus
pected the scheme, and getting Stains into a corn
er, made him confess it in the presence of wit
nesses. Loba then went to Brigham at once, tell
ing him what Stains had confessed, aud asking
why sentence of death was pronounced against
him. Young declared the whole story false, aud
told him that he shouldn't believe all he heard, ad
ding, instead of killing you, my brother, I feel to
love and to bless you,’ which he did by ‘laying on
of hands.’ Loba watched him closely, and saw
that Brigham could not look him in the eye, aud
f* It more than ever satisfied that he was doomed
to destruction if he should ho caught oft’ his
guard.
“Mr. Loba states that a very brief examination
of life in the valley represents indubitable evi
dence that polygamy is destructive of social com
fort and peace, as well as of female delicacy, re
lineincnt and virtue. The subjection of women
to the debasing and disgusting practices of Mor-
monism. lias been reduced to a system. The pro
cess is directed front the beginning to the destruc
tion of tlieir delicacy, and subversion of their free
agency, so that they may becoaae tbe merest
slaves. They are told always that the more wives
a man has the higher he and they are exalted in
the kingdom, and tlie greater will betheii reward.
By arguments like these, addressed to their relig
ious superstition and fanaticism, aided in stubborn
cases by a few screws of the relentless vice of
poverty, hunger aud hopelessness, the instinctive
shield of woman’s delicacy falls at last aud she is
fitted for the sacrifice
“Let us look iuto the house of Elder Orson
Fratt, one of the twelve. You remember that he
started tor Utah iu 1854, from New York, where
lit* had been publishing a Mormon paper called
The Seer. Mr. Loba crossed the Plains at the
same time. Fratt had with him an interesting
young lady, his sixth wife, whom he had found at
the East. The kindest attentions were bestowed
upon her during the journey, aud the Elder as
sured her of a comfortable and happy home with
himself upon her arrival in the valley. They
drove up at last before the door of Pratt's house,
which is rather a flue mansion ; but she was great
ly disappointed upon learning that she could not
even have the privilege of entering the house of
the man to whom she had been legally united in
marriage. She was shown to a small log house,
with only one room, one hundred yards distant,
for her future home. Before leaving the mansion
she begged a glass of water, but even this she
could not obtain from Mrs. Pratt, senior. Arrived
at the log house, she found it occupied already by
four Mrs. Pratts, with thirteen children all occu
pying the single room. The poor girl died soon
alter with a broken heart.
“.Some time after this, Mr. Loba visited both
these houses, in which, as high priest, he was al
ways welcome. Iu the mansion he found the
first Mrs. Pratt comfortably established and sur
rounded by luxuries, with her two soils, eighteen
and twenty years of age, stretched out lazily upon
the sofa. In the miserable single room of the log
house he found the fuur remaining Mrs. Pratts,
poor, squalid, sick and wretched, with their thir
teen little children. They told him that Pratt
furnished them with the house, but no means of
subsistence. They themselves fenced in the lot,
dug the soil and cultivated it. One of them, a
milliner and dross-maker, sometimes obtained a
little corn meal in exchange for her work, and
thus they lived. They apologized for not offering
Mr Loba somelhiugto eat, but declared that they
had had no bread themselves for several days.

Billy Bowlegs and Hie Florida liar.
The air of romance which attaches to the native
children of our forests, it matters not- to what
tribe they may belong, lias induced us to furnish
our readers with a faithful portrait of Billy
Bowlegs, the last King of the Everglades.
Since J-35 the Florida Indians have occupied a
large share of public attention, and almost fabulous
sums have been expended by* the United States
Government in a useless endeavor to drive them
liuru their island homes among the morasses and
lagoons iu the interior of the country. The first
hostilities originated in the opposition of tho
Mecasukians and most of the Chiefs of the Seminole
nation to the execution of the treaty of Payne's
Landing, it was stipulated in this treaty that the
Scmiuuies should surrender their lands to the
United States and emigrate west of Mississippi, in
consideration of a certain sum of money which
was to be paid them on their arrival at the banks
of the river. About the time that preparations
for their removal were completed, John Hext, an
influential Chief, who had favored the move
ment, died, and Osceola became the controlling
spirit of the Mecasukians. From that period the
minds of the Mecasukians aud of the Seminolett
were inflamed against the whites, and active
outrages became frequent. The most disastrous
ol these was the massacre of Major Dade's com
mand, consisting of two companies of Artillery
mi,ill,* 2Sth of December, 1835.
Fiom the date ot this massacre, the war was
continued under Gen Clinch, Brig. Gen. Call,
Ueu. Gaines, Col. Twiggs, Gen. Scott, Gen.
Jessup, and Gen, Taylor, till 1^39, when Gen.
Macomb, commander-in Chief of the Army, in
vited the Iudiau Chiefs to a conference, and such
arrangements were entered iuto as induced him
to'jeueve that tho war would speedily be ter
minated. His hopes, however, proved to be ill-
founded. Shortly after the conference, aud in
violation of its provisions, trains travellers and
plantations wore attacked. Lieut. Col. Harney,
at Charlotte Harbor, w as surprised while asleep.
,nd ot thirty dragoons who were with him only
drunken swagger, “O, yes—I make him run like
k—1, one time.
The reply is curiously illustrative of the fact
that savages more readily acquire the vices than
the virtues of civilization.
Shortly after the Haruey surprise, the Legisla
ture ot Florida made provisions for the employ
ment of bloodhounds to track the Indians to their
lurking places, and thirty animals of approved
breed were imported from Cuba. But among the
waters of the Everglades they proved wholly use
less, and the Government was saved the reproach
of outdoing the savages themselves in savage
strategy.
In 1840 Gen. Taylor obtained permission to
retire from the command in Florida, and Gen.
Armistead succeeded him. During that year and
the following, when Col. Worth had the chief
command, skirmishes were frequent and the forty
seven thousand square miles of territory occupied
part in by the Indians were kept in a constant state
ot alarm. During 1842 a nunber of chiefs were
invited to a feast and were made prisoners while
partaking of it. Another chief, with eighteen
warriors, was decoyed on board of a vessel and
secured, and great numbers of the Indians,*beiug
thus deprived of their leaders, surrendered and
Consented to emigrate.
At this period Billy Bowlegs and other chiefs
from the South, among whom was the venerable
Sam Jones, “the Fisherman” came in to negotiate
a treaty of peace. But Billy proved to be more
wary than any of his peers.
•‘With side-long, never-ceasing glance,
By doubt and cunning marked at once,”
he was cautious about placing himself in the power
of the whites, and for a considerable time he kept
the atttention of the government officers engaged
by his rude but skillful diplomacy. Col. Worth,
deceived by appearances and hollow promises
proclaimed the war over in April, 1842, but no
sooner had he resigned the command, which was
assumed by Col. Vose, than guerrilla conflicts
broke out afresh ou the part of the Indians. In
these movements Ilow legs had the credit of being
the chief agent and director, and it is certain that
he resisted large promises of reward in case he
induced his people to emigrate.
Conference w as had, and Billy by this frequent
intercourse with the whites, acquired quite a fluent
use of the English and Spanish languages. In
deed, he pretended to be quite a sarant among the
redskins of the Everglades, and it is said that he
obtained the prettiest of his two wives by means
of a fraud founded ou Ids educational assump
tions
It appears that one of the braves of his tribe had
a young and pretty wife, who attracted the atten
tion of Billy, much in the same manner that the
psalmist king of old was attracted by the beauteous
wife of his servant Uriah Nor does tho parallel
cud in mere “passional attraettion.” Each com
passed the death of a husband for the accomplish
ment of an unhallowed purpose. Aud in no respect
does the case of tho savage appear worse than
that of the psalmist.
As the story runs Billy pretended to have re
ceived a letter informing him that the husband of
the pretty squaw was about to betray the Semi-
noles to the whites, and he at once preferred
against him the charge of beingla traitor. The
brave indignantly denied the charge, but Billy
showed the letter which lw had received, aud read
from it in English, the most convincing proofs
against the culprit. Thereupon the surprised
brave questioned Billy's ability to read. But
Billy replied, that he was willing to have his
skill in reading and writing English, put to tho
severest test, and if a letter which he would write
in the presence of the chiefs of the nation, were
not immediately understood by the officers of tlie
neighboring Fort, he would himself stand impeach
ed and allow the prosecution to fall.
And Billy, with his wicked foresight knew what
ho was about. When at tiie fort a few days pre
viously, lie asked the officer in charge to write
what lie would dictate, and, the officer consenting
he had written, “I Billy Bowlegs, King of tho
Seminoles can read and write the English lan
guage.” Billy then told the officer that he wanted
to play a joke on some of his people aud if any of
them came to the Fort with a letter bearing his
autograph, to read or translate in the words
which had just been written.
So when a messenger was sent with Billy’s let
ter the officer at once understood and read it as
per previous agreement, and the result was the
conviction and execution of the pretty squaw’s
husband. Then Billy comforted the pretty squaw
and she became his w ife.
After Col. Worth was breveted Brigadier Gen
eral and returned to the command, innumerable
pretty treaties and hollow truces were agreed to
by Billy, until finally, during Mr. Fillmore’s occu
pancy of the Presidential chair, he was induced
by Gen. Blake to pay a visit to the great White
Chief at Washington. So Billy, with a few of his
chosen braves, made his first tour through the
white man's territory, and manifested the usual
indifference of theindian stoic, whenever eviden
ces of tho white man’s skill were presented for his
admiration. The steamboat was pretty good, but
he preferred the eauoes of the Everglades; and the
locomotive went pretty fast, but he had a littlo
black pony that would beat it.
When taken into the Presidential presence, ha
observed to Mr. Fillmore. “You, big Chief, and
I’m King of the Seminoles; Let there be friend
ship between us.”
After he had become tired of Washington, Gen
Blake took him to New York, which he acknowl
edged was considerable ot a village. One day he
was shown the principal harbor defences, and he
observed of the guns, that they might do vary
well there but they would not be worth a rush
among the everglades.
On his willingness to emigrate, and a friend of
ours who spent an evening with him iu the quar
ters of Gen. Childs at Tatupa Bay, informs ns that
he conducted himself in the presence of the ladies
with marked propriety.
But Billy's promises to emigrate were not ful
filled, though repeated time and again to Capt.
Casey, the Indian agent at Tampa Bay. Every
year his warriors were becoming less in number,
and his predatory power and prestige were conse
quently diminished.
The lust of Billy’s outrages which attracted
much attention, oceured about two years ago.—
It was the attack and massacre of a party with
two waggons, under command-of Lieut. Hartsuff,
between fort Devil,nil and Simon Drumm. Tha
party was surprised on a palmetto hammock and all
were killed with the exception of the Lieutenant,
who single handed kept the Indians for some time
at bay he firing from the shelter of a waggon while
two of his wounded companions kept his weapons
loaded: At length, bower, he was wounded in
the right arm and breast, and concluding to give
up tlie unequal contest, he ran for a neighboring
thicket, where there was a pond of water surroun
ded by a tall growth of rushes. Into this pond
lie crawled and lay down in tho water: and
though pursued by the Indians and called upon
by Bidy to come out and surrender, ho managed
to escape tbe notice of Ins savage foes, who left
him to his fate about the time that a uew danger
began to threaten him in the shape of a hungry all
igator. Two days afterwards he was found by a
party from Fort Simon Drum, iu an almost dying
condition.
The recent agreement with Billy to emigrate was
never ratified by the venerable Sam Jones, who
deplareil that two wagon loads of money would
not induce him to leave. On the morning of tho
4th inst., Col. Rector left Fort Myers iu charge of
Billy and the rest of the voluntary emigrants
and captives, numbering in all ono hundred and
sixty-five.
According to Billy's statement, there were left
in the country three parties of Indians—ono
known as the boatmen, consisting of twelve war
riors and a boy; the second Sam Jones's party,
consisting of seventeen warriors and their families
and the third, the Talabassees, numbering about
eight warriors, with their families. The boatmen
Billy left with great reluctance, for he asserts that
they would have emigrated willingly if they could
only have been found.
Billy and his followers arrived at the Barracks
below the city of New Orleans on the 14th inst.,
on the steamer Gray Cloud; and for a tew days
the last king of tbo Everglades was lionized by
the wonder-mongejrs of the Crescent City. But he
defeated most of the arrangements which were
made on his behalf by his continual drunkenness
and his tendency to beg was rather inclined to
moderate the admiration of his visitors.
• Ere this Billy has arrived at his new home in the
Indian Territory west of Arkansas; and the con
test with tlie Florida Indians, which lasted for
twenty-three years, aud cost the United States
Government, directly and indirectly, a hundred
million of dollars, may now be considered as at au
eud.
The sketch is accompanied by a portrait of Bil
ly which is said to he a faithful copy from real
life. Though by no means handsome, the features
indicated the keen, cunning and determined war
rior; and the dress, which is profusely ornamen
ted with silver, betrays rude evidences of royal
vanity.
A Case in court—A Yankee dodge.— Some five or
seven years ago a store keeper ot Thomaoville, Gat
went to New York to buy a bill of goods. Passing
through Savannah he received from a well-known
firm in town a letter directed to a firm in New
York. This letter was merely one of introduction
stating that the bearer was a good business man;
hottest energetic and striving to get along, and
worthy so far of trust But the letter did not
definitely recommend the New York merchant to
sell to the Tbomasville man.
When th** Georgia man got to New York he went
into another store and in course of talk shewed
the letter he had for the other N. Y. firm. On tho
strength of his latter (though not directed to them)
this new party sells the Georgia merchant a bill of
goods on time. Before said debt was paid, tho
Georgia party failed aud even tbe New York houso
allowed all the effects to be disposed of without
six escaped. Harney saved his life by rushing! claiming their share Since then the New York
out from the rear ot his t< nt without waiting to
dress himself, then running lor several miles and
sw imming to a fish boat.
l'uis surprise was effected by two hundred and
fifty Seminoles, under the command of Billy
Bowlegs, aud it was indeed tho first time that the
hero of our sketch appeared iu any promiuent
position as a leader of his savage followers. When
iu this city a lew days since, somebody asked Billy
if he know Uea- Haruey. lie replied, with e
firm have sued the parties in this city (who gave
the ThomasviUe man the letter of introduction,)
for the amount of that bill, and this week a jury in
the Superior Court decided against the New
Yorker’s claim, making him pay cost of Court,
Ac.”
It seemed to us very strange grounds for tbo
New York party to base their claim upon and wo
do not think any jury could have bedded iu
their favor.—Sur. Georgian.
