(Jen. Cr<>ok, wiih the consent of the
Mexican government, crossed the
frontier m pursuit of the Apaches who
who have been plundering in Arixonn.
After a long chime a division of his
troops, under Gen. Tori es, assisted by
Mexican troops under Gnrcin, found 11
huge body of Indians strongly in
trenched on a spur of a mountain. It
took the troops two hours to elimb it,
ou llit-ir hands and knees. Fivo
soldiers were killed in the fight: 1 1
Indians were left dead on the field, ami
many more were thought to be
wounded as tlioir trail showed much
blood. It is thought that there are
;iOO in this hand, and that it w ill take
six mouths to subdue them, the
country is so rough.
Until lately there has been but little
attempt to enforce a .Sunday law in ('but
.tanooga. Front doors were closed, but
the side doors of saloous, confectioneries,
etc., wore open, and all sold without
molestation whatever was cal ed for. A
few weeks ago the city council was pre
vailed upon tu adopt more stringent
regulations. This action provoked con
siderable discussion ami opposition, but
keepers of saloons, news and cigar stands,
confectionery stores, ice cream gardens,
hare been notified thut they must keep
their establiahu outs closed on Sunday.
A piouiinent. saloon keeper remarked la-t
Friday that be would close for one Sun
day, but after that he would keep open,
and would defy the law to hurt him.

MrUANIEL'M INAUGURAL AI>I>UKHM.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly
and fellow cililens:-—The occasion for
this as-emhluge suggests the recent loss
of the State, and of mankind, iu tho
death of Mr, Stephens, whoa) unuxpired
term in the office of Governor, 1 have
been called to till. More than any man
who ever lived, he deserved to be named
“The Great Uomuioner." He husjoined
the illuat,in, is men, whose place in the
hearts ol the people of Georgia is hut
feebly < xptessed in the adornment* of
this li.-pr,m niaiive Hull. Ills lane
lik lhei.it, is the priceless heritage of
grateful countrymen.
1,, hs-uniilig the duties front which
Divine Providence has removed him, I
and, sire to express my grateful thanks to
the people lof this murk of confidence
and esteem. 1 cannot hope to bring to
the discharg- of these responsible duties
the Varied experience, profound knowl
edge and consummate wisdom, which
ebaruetc: itod him Hut I may hope to
exhibit the the sumo devotion to all thu
interest* in (runted to iby care.
The fundamental principles of our
government, in .State as well as Federal
relations, sic expressed in the Consti
tinu. I need not repeal them to this
asset),hinge, compose I of those who enact
laws, and those who interpret them, and
those who execute them, and intelligent
citizens who arc accustomed to observe,
ami to judge impartially, the uianuar ol
performance of official duties. Our
chief concern is not with those maxims
which are lhe results of tho revolution
anil the development of centuries, at and
which are fainiliur to all, but with
measures of administration, designed to
carry them into effect,
'J he olfioo of government is to maintain
order, to suppress crime, audio insure to
all the fruits of honest labor, and tho
undisturbed pursuit of happiness. It
can never bo perfect or finished. Now
conditions constantly require appropriate
legislation. Laws, wise Jin origin, and
wholesome tn operation, lose fitness in
the changes incident to modern progress,
and must he modified, or yield to otliet
incisures, better adapted to the emergen
oy. Diversity of interest tends to produce
diversities of opinion in matters of State
policy.
These conflicts of opinion are r al, and
confront us in every detail of legislation.
Hut there is no real conflict of interest
between various classes of people—diverse
as may he their occupations. What is
wholesome for one elass cannot he hurt
ful to another; and what is hurtlulto one
must result in injury to all. It is a
common mistake that the property of one
olass depends on laws en .ch'd for its
special benefit. Legislation will not sup
ply the want of those qualities of industry,
thrift, skill i.nd prudence, on which rest
alike private and public prosperity.
Wiiut is needed in legislation is that it
aliail be just to all classes, impo ing no
burdens that lire not equally home by all.
Will in these limits, tho administration
will he best which is felt least by the
pope.
Taxation, from the sovereign nnltirc of
the powers exercised, is the most im
portent sul jcut of Siaio policy. It i*
felt in every household. When burden
sonic It crushes the weak, and clogs
the i (forts of all who endeavor to in
orcaso their fortunes. No fieo people
should long submit to unjust systems ol
taxation, which can he remedied. Ki
pcriei.oo teaches how difficult it is to
carry into effect the wholesome provisions
of our constitution, that taxation shall be
equal ami uniform. Much lias been done
to perfect the system, but much remains
to he done. This must ho left to the
skill and patriotism of thu Legislature,
applying the lessons of the past to the
conditions of the futuro.
Besides im | rovemen's in tax laws,
designed to thoroughly distribute public
burdens, a policy to be patiently and
persistently pursued, it is our duty to
maintain the present low rate of luxation,
and to reduce it if it can lie done without
crippling the resources of the lre„Bury.
Ii is true that our credit equals that ol
any Slate in 'lie Union; that we annually
reduce our dubt; that we might pay it oil
within a reusonab'e time by sales of
public property; that our pride in the
financial condition of Georgia is justified
by the increasing wealth and prosperity
of lhe people. But these advantages
should not inspire merely a leo ing ol
satisfaction and pride; we must use them
in the utmost as a means tu elfect these
desirable r suits. To accomplish this,
economy in expense must bo rigidly en
forced. The public can no more hope to
keep motley in the treasuiy without dis
criminating economy than individuals in
their private buainesa. T ore may bo
u.a..y worthy objects lor which expendi
ture of public uiauey would prove bene
ficial, wore our resources unlimited. The
constitution doos not leave us in doubt as
to wliat aro legitimate objects .of expen
diture. These are plainly expressed, and
comprehend briefly tno support ol the
government ij all its departments, the
support of the public institutions for thu
care ol the helpless classes, the support
of the public schools, the payment of the
public debt, aid the publio defense.
Fot these objects wise economy will re
quire a> much to lie done as the State
can do without burdening the peoplo— no
object, save publio defense, will justify
an increase of public burdens.
A Slate of abounding tenitory, rich in
climate, in soil, in minerals, in forests,
in water power, and In harbors; blessed
with a variety of crops and fruits uu
equaled in any eouulry of like extent on
the globe; travetsed by nearly 3,000
miles of railway, with a teeming popula
tion eager to place her in the front
rnnk ot American Slates in agriculture,
in commerce, in manufactures, and in all
that mauifests the progress of great
people—aurcly the task of rightly govern
ing such a commonwealth requires the
wisdom and patriotism nf all her sons.
I take courage in the foct that all the
departments of State government,
although distinct and independent, are
wisely burdened with a aharo of tho
duties, upon the discharge of which de
pends the common welfare. These vast
interests wi,l not rest on the Executive
•lone. So far aa my power extends, the
laws will he rigidly enforced, and all
officials will he held to a strict accounta
bility. I tnay often onmmit errors of
judgment—never intentional wrong. Nor
are legislative, judicial, and exeenfive
officers alone responsible for the enforce
ment oflaw and wise administration of
public affairs All citizens owe a duty to
the countr in sustaining and assiatiag,
and defending the work of their servants
in office. Public opinion, in a free State,
is all powerful. It c„n defeat the execu
tion of every vital law—such as laws to
preairvethe purity of elections, upon
which detiends the very life of the State;
laws for the suppression of crime, with
out the vigorous execution of which
government becomes a faroe—and all
laws for the preservation nf society. No
wisdom in the counsels,if>he legislature,
no digr.ity and purity and learning on the
brnch, no vigilance and finnne.-a on the
part nf tlie executive, will prevail against
the baneful effects of a lax public
opinion.
let us resolve, each in his appropriate
sphere, to contribute all in our power to
promote the happiness and prosperity of
all the people of the State, by insuring
to them the impartial execution of just
laws
For all mistakes I trust to your for
be ranee and to the indulgence of the
public, whose opinions arc the final test
o'' official conduct. With a painful
distiust of my ability, hut with a firm
rolianct in your assistance, and in that of
a higher power, whose presence in our
affairs is reverently and earnestly invoked,
I urn now ready to assume the duties to
which i have boon elevated by favor of
the people of Georgia.

Charles 11. Van Wyok, United Slates
senator frnui Nebraska, has been trying
to stir up Secretary Teller. In IK7I the

railroad company obtained a large land
grant upon condition of completing the
mad within five years. In ISSO, not a
mile of road having been completed or
even definitely located, the company
assigned this land grant to the New
Orleans Pacific railroad company.
Teller's predecessor had given an opinion
that the company had the right to do
this, and Van Wyok wants Secretary
Teller to declare that the first company
forfeited all (heir rights by allowing
nearly twice the limited time to elapse
without doing anything except to issue
bonds and raise sou e money on them.

A CANNONEER'S RII>K.
Captain 11. T. Owen, writing to tho
1 Philadelphia Timet, gives the billowing
I account of how a U lion soldier galloped
I down a line of fire at Manassas:
The moat conspicuous act of new less
courage i over aaw displayed oo any
buttlefield during our great civil war
occurred at the second battle ot Manassas
oo tho 30th of August. 1802 It was
performed by a Federal artillerist in the
presence of both armies and was witues-ed
by at least a thou-a:,d men, i, any of
whom are still living and cud readily
recall the incident when reminded ol the
circuit) lances. Just as Hood's men
charged down ihu I,ill near the liill house
upon the first Federal line, audit became
evident they woul 1 capture ih : battery
stationed there, a Federal artilleryman
determined to save one of the cannons,
if possible, sod to do so be had to lake
it up the side ot the diicb in front ot the
Confederates for a half mile. Tha ditch
was four feel wide slid a- many deep, and
could not bs crossed witn tfe cannon.
How be got Ins horses hitched or whether
tiiey hud really ever b. eu taken from the
piece 1 never have known, hut the first I
saw ol hiui lie was corniug up our fruot in
a sweeping gallop from the cloud ol
smoko and Hood's men were firing at him.
As soon as he escaped from that voll.y
he came in front uloui brigade and under
range of our ttiuik Is on left and as he
swept on up the line a file fire w..s opened
upon him. Our line was apt-reaching
the ditch rapidly at a doublequiek and
the lane between us and the ditch was
getting narrower > ach second, hut the
artilleryman seemed dele-mined to save
his gun from capture and he flew along
his cour-e at a treuiendi u- rate of spued.
He hud four large gray or white horses
to the cannon ariJ they came ti,) the valley
in splendid style. The man sat erect and
kept his learn well in hand, while his
whip seemed to play Upon the flank* ot
thu leaders and sit four horses appeared
to leap together in regular time. The
croumi wa~ vcy dry and a cloud of dust
idled out from under the horses' feet and
from the wheels ol the cannon as they
e.iuie thundering along.
Three regiments of our brigade had
already fired at him as be ru-bed along
the ir front, and as he a|>|>r>,acbed the left
of another, I tan down the rear rank
shouting to the men: ‘ Shoot at thr ;
I orses! Jatt the man alone and shoot at
the horses! You are firing too high?
At it,is I -aw a noted marksman ih
Company F dr p upon one knee and
-ight along tho barrel of his musket and
fire, but on came the man and the gallop
,il bis team was unbroken. Ramming in j
another cartridge the uirksm..n was
ready again in a minute, and just as ti e
oannouicr swept aero-* hi> front, within a
hundred yar fa, lie kneeled down, ami,
taking deliberate aim ut ihe foremost
horse, fired again; but on went ihe team
s- unharmed as before. 'I bus be paw-ed
along the wl ole front of our regimen!
and then along another on our light and
escaped around the head of the ditch and
across the field and up (he lull beyond.
As far off as we could see him his team
wus still going in a gallop but when out
of range on the hill heyond the ditch he
turned in his saddle, and, taking off his
hat, waved it around his head seveial
times and Rome of the Cot federates
cheered him.
At least five hundred men fired at that
Yankee gunner, and 1 have often won

of the fearful gauntlet he ran along the

easier. On examination l found that the stem
was rusty, and I inquired into the cause of it.
The gentleman abated to roe that he was startlug
some saw logs that had lodged in the bend of
the river, when hi* chain caught in a bush and
threw his watch into about twelve feet of water,
and he was about two hours finding it. When
he got it out it was running and he thought all
right. In about three months be found that the
stem was hard to turn, and sent it to me. I can
say that the watch im all that the company
claims for it, and recommend it to all railroad
and mill men. B. W. BENTLY.

I wish you would send me a spring for the
Wm Ellery Watch • • • By the way this Kllery
ia a watch I sold in your Screw Bezel Case to a
farmer last fall. The first of Jsnusry he lest the
watch in the woods, and found it this week In
about one foot of water. It had laiu three month*
and over in snow and water, with but slight in
jury to the watet —only a hair spring.

The above were very severe testa, and de
monstrate beyond a doubt, that for any reason
able length of time during wnich a watch might
be under water it would receive no injury what
ever.
