W e do not believe that the history of socia or political contests will show a more wanton or causeless assault than the one made by certain members of the Public School Board on Superintendent Mallon. Mr. Mallon came to Atlanta to take charge of the schools before they were organized. He succeeded, by tireless energy and con stant devotion to his work, in building up a system that is the pride of Atlanta, and is pronounced, by all who examine it, the best to be found in any Southern city. Quiet, un demonstrative, loyal to his duties and careless of notoriety, but little was heard of him; but the schools bespoke his praise, and his reputation was builded in the hearts of thou sands of parents. At length, a faction of the Board developed opposition to the system as it stood. The High Schools were the objects of attack. In various ways this minority assaulted the sys tem. I hey claimed that retrenchment was necessary. Finding that they could not abol ish the High Schools, they seemed determined . to hinder and hamper the system in every ■ possible way. They finally secured a tie vote, F and declined to elect a Superintendent. They no war on Mr. Maljori, but simply “cut Bk|U|ie the system. They found, u member of the Board was will a f’ r - Million, and being ap- in favor of anything to disturb the even tenor of the schools, they put up a new candidate for superintendent. Havipg just hek\ that they should not have any superin tendent, they now tried to elect one. In the race between Mr. Mallon and others, every one of the men who have been classed as ob structionists, and who are opposed to the sys tem, voted against Mr. Mallon. It appeared plain that their object was to weaken the schools by putting out the man that had built them up. Gov. Brown joined the obstructionists in their war on Mr. Mallon, and has been one of his most rwasistent foes. It is said that Gov. Brown has a personal reason for his fight on Mr. Mallon. It is certain that in the bitter yipitiYM a!raq‘. hqjy.s made upon jq.ni, he r sfiown a Slid venomous spirit that does not comport with his high position and illustrious reputation. His specious and circuitous arguments, when confronted with Mr. Mallon’s calm and manly utterances, put him in a bad light. It seems that the Governor has allowed his fondness for controversy and his pride of sarcasm to lead him deeper into this thing than he in tended to go at first, or should ever have gone. In the meantime, Mr. Mallon has been busily abused by this clique. One gentleman, who rushes as blindly as a mad bull when he is en raged, accused him of being an imported Yankee, when in truth he was born in Ireland, has lived in Georgia about thirty years, and when the Federate pressed upon this city, was found with a’gun in his hand and a knap sack on his shoulder, in the ditches, battling in defiv.we of Atlanta. Was the gentleman miio attacked him by his side ? Was he doing much for the city then as the “ imported Yankee ?” They have written to Savannah to try and some points against him. the eliirogrtipliy spelling of one gentle man who wimte lead- the Savannah people to believe that he a pupil of the grammar school looking light. But they have not had the fairness gMjo publish the high endorsements which it. case their .letters of inquiry have in would have rushed into print. Why don't they publish the letters of praise ? We are perfectly sure that it is the opinion nine-tenths of the people that these as- on Mr. Mallon hare not had the slight cst justification by anything in either his pri- M vate or official record. The public sympathy f and feeling are overwhelmingly with him. And while he has received several offers that are better than what he gets by remaining here, we believe that it is his duty to stand to the public schools of Atlanta. It is doubtless disagreeable to a quiet and decorous gentle man to be run-a-muck by a few wrong headed officials, but in this case be must certainly be sustained by the knowledge that the people approve of his work and will hold up his hands, with an almost literal unanimity. THE GAZETTE AND THE PEOPLE. The reception of the Gazette on last Sun. day was all that could be desired. A new paper, without friends or even ac quaintances, scantily advertised, nevertheless hundreds were sold in the first hour or so of its appearance, and the edition was speedily exhausted. During the week, scores of names have been put upon our subscription ! books— bona fide subscribers, coming from nearly fifty post offices. We have had noth ing but kind words and compliments, and the world is especially bright and breezy to us, as we go to press with our second edition. Indeed, there is no reason why the Gazette should not become a popular paper. It car ries more reading matter than any paper pub lished in the city. It is made up especially for leisurely entertainment, and presents a . variety that must satisfy any taste. There j are stories, sketches, news-letters, fashion-let-! ters, sensations, interviews, politics, religious ; matters, local points, editorials, poetry, theat- i rical news, society notes, gossip and argu ment, and the whole seasoned with a plentiful sprinkling of fun and humor. Surely there is I variety enough to suit the most capricious ! taste. But we have little space to devote to a dis- 1 cussion of the Gazette. We do not even ' care to spare a corner for the printing of a bill of tare. We print this morning an edi tion nearly double that of last Sunday, and ’ trust that every one interested in the matter can get a copy and judge of its merits for I himself. M hile we are averse to participating in all I public ceremonies, we have decided to attend our own funeral in a body—when the proper time comes. — New York News. THURMAN GONE—IS IT TILDEN .» The issue of the Ohio elections absolutely puts Mr. Thurman beyond Presidential possi bilities. The fight in Ohio was managed by Mr. Thurman, and made in his interest. It has failed utterly and dismally, and, by that inex orable American rule that “nothing succeeds but success, ” Mr. Thurman is relegated to i the rear. The disappearance of Mr. Thur ■ man puts the gossiping cap on the journalists, i Who will take the foremost place, that he has : vacated? ' We predict that it will be Tilden. Hen ' dricks is not heavy enough for Presidential I timber. And, besides, the failure of the \ Greenback idea in Ohio will lead the Demo crats to look with distrust on Western candi- ; dates. | Bayard is too stiff and impracticable for i the flexible and adroit campaign that the ; Democrats must make in 1880. Mr. Tilden I seems to be the coming man. The best polit . icai manager that this country has ever pro : duced —full of resources, and energy —with the prestige of victory hanging about him, he J will give us victory if anyone can. The “Presidential fraud" will be made the leading i issue in the campaign of ’BO. The Ohio over throw has swept out all the underbrush of Communisn, Greeffbackism and Kearneyism, ' and the great parties will be aligned in ’BO, on e the great issue of “fraud.” Who can better lead the Democrats in the fight than Mr. Tilden, the victim of that “fraud” —the great ’ man that, having won victory by a masterly battle, was trickedout of it by the blunder of ; his friends, and the duplicity of those who should have been faithful to him ? All in all, we believe that after the storm of i Tuesday has subsided, and the people see i with sorrow Thurman’s famous bandanna j- sinking beneath the waters, the face of our l«'“,Uncle Sammy," composed and masterful will shine above the wreck, and beam serene e through the shifting clouds. SOME FREE ADVICE. We note that a committee has been ap pointed to consider what changes, if any, should be made by the coming Legislature in our charter. We have a word of advice for that com mitte. Let them remember that the charter, BE LET ALONE! It has brought us safely through the worst years that Atlanta has ever seen. The great crisis is past. There is smooth sailing before us, unless some blundering hand rips up the the timbers of the brave old ship that brought us through the storm. It is simply suicidal to tinker with this wise and admirable char ter. Let the people stop this picking at the last bulwark that stand between the city and ruin. It has checked official extravagance! It has made jobbery impossible! It has raised the price of bonds! It lias reduced the rate of interest! It has decreased the public debt! It has purified our politics! It has protected our institutions ! It lias been our salvation ! Then let the committee after, looking over the whole field, honor itself unanimously that the charter BE LET ALONE! OUR AD VERTISING COL UM NS. ! Several of our friends have expressed the fear that in a short time the advertising col umns of the Gazette will overrun their ' present limit, and curtail the space devoted to mding matter. , There need be no fear on this score. The . ; advertising contracts that we have already , I made give us a for our pur- I I »■ -- y-r lirSf-'cmSsr-WM . • - -we. houses to our columns, and we endorse in the. most emphatic terms everything that is adver tised in any part of the Gazette. With the liberal reception that the Gazette . has had from the reading public, we shall . hold the claims of subscribers superior to all , others —and, if necessary, shall cut down even • the few columns now alotted to advertise ments. THE M. <£• B. R. R. Our readers will take pleasure in reading the gratifying report from the M. & B. R. R., which we publish in another column. In these days of corrupt, negligent or in competent officials, the State is truly fortu nate in having this large railroad in the hands of such competent and correct business gentlemen as Col. Adams, Col. Drane and their assistants. It is refreshing to see such men in charge of affairs. The M. &B. seems to have a bright and prosperous future ahead of it, for very much of which the tax-payers will have to thank the present management. THE DEMOCRATS and the independents. The election in Ohio should carry a stern lesson to the heart of every Democrat in Georgia. With all the odds against them, the Re publicans gained 32,000 in the State election. This tremendous victory was achieved simply and solely through division in the Democratic ranks. A large number of greenback men, under the lead of designing politicians, left the Democratic ranks, and gave the State to the Republicans. Had the greenback Demo crats voted with the party 7 , the Democrats would have carried Ohio. Carrying Ohio, they- wotdd have elected the next President without auy doubt. This lesson is good for all latitudes. M her ever Democrats split off from the party or ganization, they- virtually vote for the Radi cal party. The result is just about the same as if they were to vote for Radical candidates. Are the Democrats of Georgia—the true Democrats that have passed through fire and battle —ready to break the ranks of their party and give aid to the Radicals ? Let your vote answer this question ! And answer it in the negative, by voting for Ham mond ! EDITORIAL DRIFT. Dr. Roach is not, we think, entitled to the support . of organized Democrats. He openly announces that he is for Arnold against the nominee, and the vote should be cast against him. The line must be drawn somewhere. The Gazette has taken right hold of public favor, i Its entire iirst edition of 1,500 was sold immediately after it was issued, and the public, like Oliver Twist, cried for “more.” We have printed a larger edition this week, and hope our friends will all be served. We do not believe it possible that Colonel Arnold will carry a single county in the Fifth District. Ful ton will give 500 to 1,500 majority against him. Just ' pin this under your greenback badge ! j Disraeli has had two defeats in the English elections. ! It is possible that Gladstone will yet live to put his toot in his rival’s face. 1 The Central Railroad stick is quoted at 70. and there is none to be had at that price. The Central Road is an enterprise of which the State of Georgia should be proud, ; Charlie Wells will win the race he is engaged in just as sure as the sun sets on election day, and he lives ' to see that day. Say what you please about it, Mr. Smith Clayton is making a most admirable campaign paper of the Ath- , ens Watchman. It is logical, satirical, pathetic and j ' eloquent—its work evidencing a depth and breadth of resources that is wonderful iu one so young and inex ' perienced. Clayton is going to make a mark in jour , nalism. I We defy even the most phlegmatic man to read the ■ first instaUmeut of “The Cracked Tumbler,” which we print in to-day’s Gazette, without waiting impatient- . ly for the concluding installment. It is a marvelous ■ story, and has a thrilling interest. THE GAZETTE, SUNDAY AfOJFNTZNG, OCTOBER 13, 1878. SO LONG: SO LONG! So long as ffiere remains unpaid a single dollar of the war debt, while a single copper-head is hissing at the heels of him who helped to save the Union by his savings, so long as there remains a single note of the United States in the pocket of a poor man. which a crazy Communist wants to rob of all the value by un limited issues of notes, so long the Republican party will be needed to uphold the nation’s honor and to strike down the torch and bludgeon with which the Democratic Communists will threaten N. Y. Tribune. Oh, precisely! So long as there is a dollar left in the plundered Treasury—so long as there is a crime uncommitted in the calendar of fraud—so long as there remains a sin gle heart sentiment uncankered by fanatical venom— so long as there is a single bond unsnapped that binds the States together in love and fraternity—so long as there is lust to feed, greed to glut, or vindictive pas- j sions to gratify—so long will the Republican party have a mission. A mission—but not a majority. Col. Jas. B. Randall and Mr. P. A. Stovall havoaken | charge of the Augusta Eeerung Sentinel.

OUR SOUTHERN BAYARD. “ The Life of Gen. Aiibebt Sidney Johnston.” ! Embracing His Services in the Armies ot the United | States, the Republic of Texas, and the Confederate States. By William Prestos Johnston. With - illustrations on Steel and Wood. New York: D. Ap plfctou & Co. Although this Life of Albert Sidney John- j f ston” necessarily cannot be compared with a large number of other biographies that from i time to time have been produced, it is still, * when taken in connection with the great ma . jority of like works that daily find their way : into the literary market, an oasis in the truest ■ sense of the world. f Between the importance of the theme and ) the sympathy of the biographer there has been produced a work that will meet with the f approval of every intelligent reader. The i appreciation of the biographer of his subject i may be learned from the following extract, r taken from his concise and comprehensive preface: “No ideal of what a hero ought to be has been framed herein*; but the story of a life has been told, just as it was lived. Sympathetic spirits, however wide the differences of cir cumstances, creed or opinion, may learn, in its adversities and its consolations, some les sons of fortitude and magnanimity. “In Albert Sidney Johnston’s long life, he mingled in many great and memorable events, and in some of the greatest he acted the chief and most conspicuous part In all of them his countrymen accounted him a fine example of civic and military virtues. His death was not only the decoious and becoming end to a grand life, but many of the wisest and ablest leaders believe that in his fall a national trag edy culminated, which ever after declined to wards its final catastrophe. Many of the most judicious have declared that on his arm rested the fortunes of the Confederate cause. It cannot be well that such a figure should pass into utter oblivion.” FAMILY AND BOYHOOD. According to his biographer, Albert Sidney Johnston was born on the 2d of February, 1803, in the village of Washington, Mason county, Ky. He was the youngest son of Dr. John Johnston, a physician, and one of the early settlers of that town. His boyhood was a fit prehide to his after life. Though his father’s means were narrow, yet the educa tion which he had, at whatever personal in convenience, bestowed upon all his children could not fail to exercise a liberalizing influ ence on his household. The habits of all classes at that time were plain and unosten tatious ; but this family was necessarily trained to a Spartan simplicity that was ever afterward the rule and habit of life most con genial to Gen. Johnston. Captain Wilson Duke, United States navy, one of the choice friends of his youth, used laughingly to tell how he tore off his rutiled shirt collar and hid his shoes on the road to school, from fear of Albert Johnston’s ridicule. His intimate friends in those early days nearly all obtained more than ordinary positions in after-life. That Johnston’s boyhood, as well as his later years, was not without its ambitions and con- may be learned from the annexed anecdote, repeatedly told by Johnson himself: “ Gen. Johnsjon sometimes told an anec dote of his early boyhood, from which he was wont to draw many a valuable moral. Play in*7 marbles 1 for keeps’—a species of boyish U. . —». ful as a marble-player that at one time he had won a whole jarful of white alleys, taws, potters, etc. It was then that the design en tered his breast of winning all the marbles in the town, in the State, and eventually in the world. Filled with enthusiasm at the vast ness of his project, he cast about for the means, and finally 7 concluded, as the first step, to secure his acquisitions by burying them. He buried his jar very secretly, reserving only marbles enough ‘to begin life on.’ Purpose lent steadiness to his aim, so that again he beat al! his rivals ‘in the ring,’ and added daily to his store. Only one competitor stood against him, whose resources seemed to con sist not so much in skill as in aa exhaustless supply of marbles, that were sacrificed with a recklessness arguing unlimited pocket-money. At last he, too, succumbed, and the victor went with ajar larger than the first to add to his spoils. To his dismay, however, he found his hoard plundered and his treasure gone. The inferior, but desperate, marble-player had fur tively watched him, robbed him, and then staked and lost his ill-gotten gains. The sec ond jar contained the same marbles as the first, and larceny had contended for empire with ambition. Gen. .Johnston said that he felt the lesson as a distinct rebuke to his ava rice aud rapacity. The plans he had built upon success vanished, and he learned that world-wide renown as a marble-player was merely ‘vanity and vexation of spirit-’ ” SCHOOL DAYS. Once resolved, he re-entered with ardor and steady industry on his collegiate course at Lexington, • where he remained two years. Transylvania University, though planted al most in the wilderness, had the good fortune to be under able direction, and had thus ac quired great reputation as a seat of learning. It was the alma mater of many illustrious men, among whom is Jefferson Davis. When Johnston was graduated, in June, 1826, he was entitled, by 7 virtue of his rank in his class, to select which arm of the service he preferred. Had a cavalry corps then ex isted his tastes would have led him to enter it; but as between the artillery, then gener ally stationed in the seaboard fortresses, usually considered preferable, and the infan try, which was employed in more active ser vice on the frontier, he chose the latter. He was accordingly assigned to the 2d infantry, with the rank of brevet second lieutenant, to take date from July 1, 1826, with a furlough until the Ist of November. EARLY ARMY LIFE AND MARRIAGE. Little of general interest remains, either in documentary form or in the memories of men, respecting the early years of Albert Sidney Johnston’s army life. It was at this time that Johnston greatly disappointed his friends by resolutely refusing to accept advancement through favor: “Away was unexpectedly opened by an offer from Gen. Scott to make him his aid-de camp, a proposal very flattering in itself, and opening as brilliant a career as could be de sired bad he possessed the temper of the cour tier. The temptation of rapid promotion and graceful pleasures would have proved irre sistible to many minds, and perhaps most men would have acted judiciously in accepting the friendly offer. But nothing could deter him from his resolution to enter at once on the rugged duties of his chosen career, and to owe his advancement to meritorious service, not patronage.” Concerning his duties as a soldier during these earlier days, Mr. Johnston writes: “ The most notable event with which Lieut. Johnston was connected in the year 1827, was the expedition to compel the Winnebago In dians to atone for outrages upon the white settlers. This tribe occupied the country about Winnebago and along the banks of the Wisconsin river, with the Menomonees for their neighbors on the north: the Pottawat tamies dwelt about the headwaters of Lake Michigan, and the Sacs and Foxes on both banks of the Mississippi in northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin, and lowa. On the 20th of June the Winnebagoes had suddenly put to death some white people, and seemed dis posed to break out into open war. in which they also endeavored to enlist the Pottawat tamies. As the Winnebagoes numbered some six or seven hundred warriors, were physi cally large, well-formed, and strong, and were the most indomitable and irreclaimable sav ages on that frontier, great apprehensions were felt of a cruel warfare. They refused to negotiate with Gen. Cass, who thereupon turned the matter over to Gen. Atkinson. The expedition left Prairie du Chien on the 29th of August, and returned to Jefferson Barracks Sept. 27.” CHARACTER. Albert Sidney Johnston was endowed by nature with an ardent and enthusiastic tem- | perament; but to this were joined a solidity ■ of temperament and a power of self-control 1 that early held it in cheek, and eventually so i regulated it that it was only displayed in reso- t lutions and actions requiring uncommon lofti- < tiness of soul. However, his son, instead of .< dwelling at length upon his many and varied 11 traits of character, very judiciously andrgree- < ably develops them one by one to the reader i by brief interesting anecdotes that eloquently , ’ tell the whole story. Thus we have the whole j * ■ story of his kindness of heart and self-cmtrol < told in a few words: J I “He had a beautiful riding horse, whiffi he ; thought of selling: but, as the time ap- ■ proacbed for his departure, he would tun his i * I favorite out of the stable, and watch his giace-; i I ful movements as he enjoyed the freedom of : i the pasture. When about to go, he gave him ; to his sister, saying: ‘ I cannot sell that h<rse; 1 ■ he might fall into hands where he wouli be I badly treated; but you will use him veil.’ i Mrs. Byers says: ‘ His dog and his hors» he I always treated with the kindest consideration. I I have often known him to walk, and lead i horse, when it had become fatigued.’ TlhjJ trait grew upon him with years, and his eorrti3« rades and followers can attest the benevolence “ I that noted and regarded every sign of fatigue j I or suffering in animals under his control. I “He would habitually turn aside from ! treading upon a worm in his path; but there | | was no morbid sentimentality in this, as he enjoyed field-sports moderately. He pre ferred, however, not to injure the most inaig j nifieant beings. It may not he amiss to give I here another little anecdote, that shows in I | part how his habits of self-control were formed. I ; The same sister tells how, when he was a lad ‘ ’ 14 years old, on one occasion, though not in I the habit of giving way to anger,’ he entirely- 1 lost patience, after having repeatedly tried in ; vain to pull on a tight boot, and at last threw it violently out of the window. She gave him a gentle and rather playful rebuke, at which: he left the room with a look of quiet defiance, ■ but soon returned with the boot and silently set it against the wall. No further allusion ! ■ was made to it. When ten years later he vis" . ited his family. Mr. Byers presented him with . a fine rifle. He loaded the rifle to try it : , but, on attempting to shoot, it snapped. He t examined it, and tried again; again it > and so on for several times. At last, he 3 quietly put it down, saying: ‘This is a very fine rifle, but it needs oiling.’ His sister, who had been admiring his patience and calmness, ; 3 said, ‘I wonder you did not strike it across the ’ 3 railing.’ He laughed and replied: ‘You re ” member the hoot. I have not forgotten it; but I have learned that a soldier should have perfect control of himself, to be able to coru' trol others.’ ” B A MARBLE CAMPAIGN. In the following we have revealed the sensi tiveness and impetuosity of his youth: “During his sojourn as a bachelor at Jefief son barracks, being fond of music, he tried to learn to play the Hute. A wide difference of opinion existed between himself and his friends as to his musical aptitudes. He per severed in spite of their jests; until these and the resulting doubts in his own mind, rendered him somewhat irritable oh the score of his skill. One day, as he was practicing in his room, he heard a tapping on the floor above, occupied by a fellow-officer. Instantly refer ring this to his music, and regarding it as an indecorum, he nevertheless continued the air; but, when it occurred again, he stopped, and the tapping stopped. Waiting a moment to restrain his rising anger, he resumed the tune and the tapping began again. This was too much for the outraged patience of- the angry musician, who, dashing down his flute, sprang up the stairs, determined to exact satisfac tion. To a thundering knock at the door, a friendly voice replied, inviting him to come in: and, when lie strode in, he found his neighbor with a look of mild inquiry at liis evident excitement, unsuspiciously cracking walnuts on the hearth. With a brief apology for his intrusion, he rushed down stairs again, mortified at his own hastiness and loss of temper. He at once gave up the flute ; for, said he, ‘I did not think that a man so sensi tive about his skill was fit for a flute player. ” Another incident further shows that the control of later j*ears did not belong to earlier • days: AN INDIAN ANCDOTE. “He was engaged with some fellow-officers in artillery-practice on the ice of Lake Onta rio, when a wild party of sleighers kept dust ing across the line of fire, near the target. ; Meaning to rebuke this bravado with a good scare, he waited for the rush of their Canadiar ponies near his target, and then fired, lit succeeded so well that, for an instant, trit ’ whole party were enveloped in snow anc ’ splintered ice, and seemed to be blotted out a n are tu r ned no more. He felt during’uic instant of suspense that murder had beer done, and the relief of the revelers at theii escape was not greater than his own. Ht ; accepted the adventure, however, as a lessor ' in something more than artillery-practice.” “ Concluding his disquisition on his father’- character, Mr. Johnston says that there were no traits more strongly marked than his pow erful domestic affections and his love for na ture in all her aspects, but especially as seen through the coloring of a rural life. On the other hand, so strangely are our qualities mingled, he felt the desire, the power, the call to achieve something great, useful, and mem orable. Never was a man more deeply con scious that he was born into the world not for himself, but for others; and that, whosoever else might fail, on him, at least, lay an obli gation of public duty, to which self must be sacrificed. POLITICS. Speaking of Gen. Johnston’s politics, lie says: ' '“Albert Sidney Johnston was a republican from the bottom of his heart, and though not a propagandist in either temper or sentiment, was a sincere believer in the blessing of regu lated liberty and supremacy of law. With these ideas of public right, and with the con viction of his call to render public service, he thought his talent could not be put to bet ter use than in aiding to secure their liberties to men of his own race, who were ready to sacrafice all else to achieve them. Originally, however, the most potent motive that urged him to enlist in this enterprise was the hope that. Texas having been freed, he might pro mote its annexation to the United States; and, since readmission into the army was impossible, that he might employ the sword, for whom his country deemed she had no need, in laying an empire at her feet. Os course, after he had devoted himself to the cause of J exas, her interest became para mount; but he freely admitted that, in the first instance, he was in a large measure ani mated by the desire of assisting to add an other star to the American constellation. Indeed, strong as were his feelings in behalf of the infant nation, he did not consumate his resolution to enter its service until the government of the United States had recog nized its independence. With this sanction he felt no further hesitation, and threw him self into the cause with all the ardor of his nature." MILITARY CAREER AND DEATH. So extended and varied were Johnston’s military services that in the space allotted in a review it is simply impossible to do them justice. Suflice it to say, then, that his biog rapher has forgotten none of them, and that ■to all he has done greatest justice. From the many accounts might be gathered col umns of incidents of the most interesting nature- But as to do that is out of the ques tion, it only remains for us to heartily recom mend the work to the many readers of the I Times. Regarding the ending of the great soldier's ; career no one could have done the subject ■ greater justice than his present biographer. The description is a fair sample of the general I style of the entire narrative. “Gen, Johnston rode out in front, and slow-i ly down the line. His hat was off. His sword : rested in its scabbard. In his right hand lie i held a little tin cup, the memorial of an inci dent that had occurred earlier in the day. As they were passing through a captured ’ camp, an officer had brought from a tent a number of valuable articles, calling General Johnston’s attention to ‘hem. He answered, with some sternness: ‘None of that, sir: we are not here for plunder!’ And then as if: regreting the sharpness of the rebuke, for the anger of the just cuts deep, he added, taking this little tin cup, 'Let this be my share of the spoils to-day.’ It was this plaything, which, holding it between two fingers, he employed more effectivelly in his natual and simple gestulation than most men could have used a sword. His presence was full of inspiration. Many men of rank have told the writer that they never saw Gen. Johnston’s equal in bat tle in this respect. He sat his beautiful thor ough-bred b„y, ‘Fire-eater,” with -easy com mand —like a statue of victory. His voice was persuasive, encouraging, and compell- , ing. It was inviting men to death, but they obeyed it. But, most of all, it was the light I in his gray eye, and his splendid presence, full of the joy of combat, that wrought upon j them. His words were few. He touched their bayonets with a significant gesture. ‘These j must do the work,' he said. 'Men! they are! stubborn: we must use the bayonet.’ When he reached the centre of the line, he turned. ‘I will lead you !' he cried, and moved toward the enemy. The line was already thrilling and trembling with that tremendous and ir resistable ardor which in battle decides the day. Those nearest to him, as if drawn to ' 'him by some overmastering magnetic fordJ rushed forward around him with a mighty ! shout. The rest the line took it up and ech'oed it with a wild yell of defiance and .desperate purpose, and moved forward at a charge with rapid and restl«s step. A sheet of flame kqrst from the federal stronghold, and blazes' along the cres of the ridge. There was roar of cannon and musketry: a storm of leaden and iron hail. The confed erate line withered, and the dead and dying strewed the dark valley. But there was not an instant’s pause. Right up the steep they went- The crest was gained. The enemy were in flight—a few scattering shots reply ing to the ringing cheers of the victorius con federates. “ Gen. Johnston had passed through the or deal seemingly unhurt. His noble horse was shot in four places; his clothes were pierced 4>y missiles, his boot-sole-was cut and torn by a minie; but if he himself had received any severe wound, he did not know it. At this j Juoment Governor Harris rode up from the I I right, elated with his own success and with | klie vindication of his Tenneseeans. After a lew words, Gen. Johnston sent him with an ■ order to Col. Statham, which, having deliv- I ered, he speedily returned. In the meantime ! knots and groups of Federal soldiers kept up I ; an angry discharge of fire-arms as they re treated upon their supports, aud their last line, now yielding, delivered volley after vol ley as they suddenly retired. By the chance of war, a minie-ball from one of these did its ; fatal work. As General Johnston, on horse back, sat there, knowing that he had crushed in the arch that which had so long resisted the pressure of his torces, and waiting until ; they should collect sufficiently to give the final stroke, he received a mortal wound. It came in the moment of victory and triumph from a flying foe. It smote him at the very instant when he felt the full conviction that the day was won; that his own conduct and wisdom were justified by results, and that he held in his hand the fortunes of war and the success of the Confederate cause. If this was not to be, he fell as he would have wished to fall, and with a happier fate than those who lived to witness the overthrow and ruin of their great cause. He had often expressed to the writer a preference for this death of the sol dier. It came sudden and painless. But he had so lived as neither to fear nor shun it. It | came to him like an incident of an immortal life —its necessary part, but not its close.” GOTHAM GOSSIP. THE GAZETTE'S SPECIAL CORRESPOND ENCE IN NEW YORK.

New Yobk, Oct. 6, 1878. THE ERA OF DISCOVERY. This is popularly claimed as a season in which an epidemic of crime is raging. Never did nomenclature make a greater mistake. This is not a carnival of crime; it is an era of discovery. The digging up of some poor girl’s body, packed in a barrel, has unearthed four probable murderers and procured the arrest of seventeen persons. That poor rein- j nant of a once lovely woman has brought to light some shocking facts; that in homes, humble and otherwise, twenty-two young girls with luxriant black hair, with perfect teeth, and small feet, are mourned as lost, and prob ably murdered. How many blondes have lately been made away with no one can tell till another box with a different woman is dis covered. The case of “ Vicky Connor ” is added to the list this morning. Four arrests have been made, and the coroners are congratulating ' themselves. The new thing seems to be a combinaSon. The seducer is a doctor who attends to detail, and simplifies mat- I ters very much, as but one man has to be 1 examined instead of half a dozen in the old ’ time. And after awhile the surgeon seducer I of his victim on the dissecting table, and gather the instructive materials for L lecture o£.the mur-. I TWENTY CLAIMANTS. I was told that some ten years ago a por- L tion of a young tvoma'B rescued from the river was brought to the morgue. The morning 1 papers made the description of the woman public, and within two days twenty heart . broken mothers, grief-stricken sisters and anxious brothers sought in that awful frag ment the features of a loved lost relative. It was a saddening surprise to him then; but his connection with the crimes of New York go to show that deception, betrayal and shame ful death are at all times working their dread deeds in our midst. With the discovery of some great crime comes an impulse of confes sion to many criminals, so that just now part ing with our male relatives in the morning we can never tell with a degree of certainty to what they will confess before night. The Sil ver Lake horror has opened many dread secrets. Already the returns are astounding, and so many districts yet to be heard from and seducers and doctors still coming in. THINGS THEATRICAL. On or off the stage, there could not be , found to-day two women more thoroughly un like each other than the star who left and the star just come at the “ Fifth Avenue Thea tre." The rare young Kentucky goddess, Mary Anderson, went off to Boston and began her engagement to a 5i,600 house, and Mod jeska floated in after her to the scented • plaudits of all fashionable New York. The one resembling the famous bourbon of her native State, fresh, bracing and full of spirit; the other like a cut bottle of Parisian per fume. The one utterly ignorant of the mysteries of the toilette, the other complete mistress of its every detail. Mary Anderson ringing the echoes with her magnificent voice, striding about in a whirl wind of passion, and in the pauses occasioned by outburts of enthusiasm, yet able to say some girlish bit of nonsense convulsing to those about her. Modjeska, quivering with suppressed emo tion, is incapable of a thought disconnected from the part she may be enacting. Mary Anderson has the most superb natu ral gifts ever brought to the stage. THE POLISH COUNTESS. Modjeska has more acquired arts than any : actress that ever lived. She is endowed with ] a voice sweet and sonorous, but not varied or powerful. She has a fine, intelligent face, ! but not beauty. She is thin to actual lean ness, and yet she is a lovely’ woman; a mar i vellous elocutionist and a poet’s dream of I female grace and fascination. She falls upon the stage like a leaf fluttering to the ground. | She rises like a wreath of smoke. In “ Ca mille,” in the fourth act, Armand, in his fa mous denunciation, holds the centre of the scene. Modjeska falls upon her knees, her back to the audience; when Armand, in the climax of his passion, hurls her away, she falls directly backward toward the audience, as flat upon the stage, as an empty dress flung along the floor. Then, as the guests are called in, she suddenly floats upward with no visible exertion, never touching the floor with either hand, but just coming to her feet as if invisible hands bore her up. Modjeska is a gymnast, a trained athlete; the costumes she wears in Camille are the hight of prevailing fashion, the fashion uni versally condemned by the straight-laced papers in Europe. They are so tight in the skirt that the ordinary sitting down and walk ing round becomes a matter of more skill than dancing the tight-rope. How Modjeska floats about the stage, sinks upon the fautuel in the centre, throws herself full-length upon a couch at the side, walks rapidly and nervously about in the agitation of the scene in that gown, is a problem. It shows every outline of the figure from the shoulders to the knees. In fact, that's the effect produced by all these new Parisian creations. They have trials like crocodiles surpentinely following evA-y movement, and there doesn't seem to be two yards of mate rial above the ankles. THE NEW SONGTRESS. < # *• Mr. Fred Rullman brought out his new j found treasure, on 'Tuesday, at a private hearing in Steinway hall. The house was crowded by invitation alone, and the lady. Mlle. Aline Alhaiza, made an instant suc cess. She is a Spanish girl, with a complex ion like a calla lily, that ivory whiteness com bining so well with inky black hair and eyes. She resembles Scott-Siddons in many ways. I Beside color, she has the same high-bred | style of face; a gleaming set of pearly teeth ! and a pretty mouth are ancessories before | the fact, and the fact is established. Alhaiza j . is a magnificent singer; her voice is rarely | I sw’eet and powerful, and its cultivation ex ' ceeds that of Carlotta Patti or Di Murska. The audience comprised all the prominent musicians and ameteurs in the city who rap turously received her. Altogether, Alhaiza is one of the surprises of the season, and a very great singer. Mr. Rullman, who has been identified with the most famous prima donna of modern times, is delighted with this new’ voice, which promises lots of cash during the winter and a perfect gold mine, when, next fall, she will appear in opera in conjunc tion with a tenor unearthed by the same im pressario in a very romantic manner. This , young man is in Milan at Rullman’s expense finishing his course of studies with a view to taking his position next year as the mascu l line star of the Alhaiza Opera troupe. ’ THE COMPANION OF NAPOLEON. * Speaking of Frederick Rullman (who is I himself a grandfather), reminds me of his ' father, a surprising old gentleman who died J last week at the age of 97. , Maj. Rullman began his military career in t 1805. He went through every battle of Na -1 poleon, from Austerlitz to Moscow. He was decorated with innumerable medals; he counted among his treasures two letters from the “Little Corporal,” and various orders after Napoleon became emperor, written in his own hand, and, one last note, lovingly ' kept and proudly read, came to him from the rocky fastness of Helena, passed by the cour tesy of Sir Hudson Lowe, the jailor, bated ir by August Rullman as sincerely as the poor prisoner was loved, Maj. Rullman carried the famous order of Napoleon which slaughtered thousands of Austrians. They were on a frozen river, advancing rapidly. Battalion after battalion had reached the most central portion of the vast sheet of solid ice, when the emperor ordered Rullman to carry forth the orders to the artillery to into the air." Those who heard it were amazed, but Maj. Rullman said his heart stood still as he took in the awful meaning of that command. Two min utes later the ponderous cannon balls went rushing toward heaven, and then with crush- I ing force fell amid the devoted wretches, I breaking the ice in every direction and drowning them by thousands. A charming old man was August Rullman—living in the past —by his hearthstone fighting in memory his ancient battles over and over again; de lighted to gain an appreciative listener to whom he could pour forth the devotion to Napoleon which animated his warlike old heart to the last. THE GREAT PEDESTRIAN. The leading excitement of the week, in this time, is the pedestrian match between O’Leary and Hughes at Gilmore’s Garden, where hundreds of spectators by day and thousands by night exhibit a lively interest in the most wholesome of all physical exer cises. Fashionable promenaders of both sexes, scores of doctors, editors and even clergyman, and no end of miscellaneous curi osity-seekers, huddle shoulder to shoulder with the coarsest order of betting men around circuit and the other a ninth —in which the lithe Chicagoan and his uncouth rival foot their seventy to eight miles a day. O’Leary, in walking-costume suggestive of a subdued circus-rider, “looks the winner all over,” as the phrase goes, and is expected to cover 500 miles in the six days of the match should no accident disable him. His is the outer or larger ring, with one less lap to the mile than the other. Hughes, grotesque in his professional dress and awkwardly shambling as a walker, shows to advantage only in run ning, which he does often and with a long, low stride more cat-like than deer-like. He is a simple-minded, stubbornly ignorant, wholly ungainly specimen of humanity, fairly fren zied to beat his competitor, and winning much sympathy by the dramatic pathos of his seemingly hopeless struggle to that end. The spectacle of these two men, so strongly con trasted, silenty pitting their utmost powers of vital stamina against each other, day after day and night after night—intelligence and experience, as it were, against sheer brute determination —is worth the attention of oth ers than mere idlers. NOTES, OUESSES AND OPINIONS. The merchants here anticipate the largest Southern trade this fall they have known since '7O. They are i nxious to sell the South ern merchants—which is a change, by the way. Despite the tricks and manipulations of the Tammany crowd, Tilden is by all odds the favorite of the New York Democracy in the next race. He will get New York’s thirty five votes much more easily than he did in 1876. Considerable dissatisfaction exists in New York over the rumor that the Howard Asso ciation, Avith over $250,000 in money on hand, contributed mainly by Northern cities, hoards this amount and calls for more help.

In the American exhibit our several canned corned beef manufacturers are making vigor ous effort to introduce this specialty to Euro pean notice. 1 doubt that it will ever come into general use here in its present form. I found this doubt on the, to me, apparent fea ture in French gastronomy that salted meats are little eaten, at least in France. And, be sides, there are so many different styles of preserved meat in use here. All over Paris is found a certain description of shop in which these are kept. For a few cents you may buy pate de foi gras, veal pique, sausage of half a dozen varieties, and a dozen other varieties of spiced and preserved meats. The principal recommendation of our corned beef may be its cheapness. It affords only one style of taste. The French are both versatile and fickle in this respect. Even among the common people the palate is pleased by a far greater diversity of methods than is common with us. It was an American’s remark one ' day in my hearing: “Well, 1 never saw so many shops devoted to different sorts ot eat ing and drinking before as I find in Paris. In almost every block inhabited by the labor ing classes will be found one or two motherly old dames, making a living by frying potatoes and sometimes fish. A penny buys a plate of fried potatoes, good measure. The work man or workwoman here finds a cheap relish to his or her bread and wine. Every house wife knows that fried potatoes are a trouble some dish. They require previous peeling, slicing, frying —all of which mean time and labor. There is one woman whose whole time • is devoted to this one culinary product, who , fries all the potatoes needed for an entire | block, and who fries them better and cheaper f than could be done in the family. Again, ’ many of the shops where fresh meat is sol I ‘ keep also bouillon and varions prepared 7 dishes. Now bouillon of good quality is sim ply beef tea, and you may realize the advan tage the Paris laborer has over ours, when, if > temporarily indisposed or his appetite capri- J cions (for laborers, in common with lawyers 1 and professors, have their days of “ feeling poorly,” when the forces refuse to act with their usual spring and vigor), he may for five cents refresh himself with a bowl of this j liquid nourishment. 1 CHEAPER THAN SUNLIGHT. ’ Correspondence of the Cleveland Leader. f East Liverpool is beautifully situated, about t fifty miles above Wheeling, on the banks ot .. the Ohio, in the southwestern part of Coluni l biana county, one hundred miles from Cleve ' land and forty miles from Pittsburg. n Its natural gas-wells form one of the seven ’■ wonders of the world. They are situated in r and around the city, and give it a continual a supply of the finest light. The gas is almost qc the uii’. It costs practically noth- ins iiiumnTixidi: i ... 1 e the town. The city is lighted by it, and the 4 street-lamps blaze away at noonday as well as at night. It costs nothing to let them ’ burn, and it takes trouble to put them out. a Almost the entire fuel used in the town is s this gas. It is conducted into the grates and 0 stoves in pipes and by it all the cooking and 3 heating is done. It does the business, makes no dirt, is easy to kindle and costs very little. 1 Why, lor instance, the Dobbins House, where s I am now writing, is a three-story brick, con s taining ‘in the neighborhood of fifty rooms T and a basement. Its light and fuel for the ’ whole house is composed of gas and costs only Sl4 per month the year round, and its '. light is not the flickering mockery of poorly -3 manufactured gas, but a flame which approx r imates in its brilliancy that of the electric _ light. But the question is, how long will this last? 1 Will these wells continue to send forth their s streams of light-giving power throughout the , centuries, or will they die away in the course ot a short time? This, of course, no one can tell. The prospects are, however, very good 1 for the future. The first well discovered now ■ burns as brightly as when it was first opened, and for the last twenty years has never flagged . in its brilliancy, and none of those now in operation have ever shown any signs of giving out. For years Liverpool used manufactured gas, never dreaming of the rich supply that was wasting away daily under its feet. The poor quality of this caused Col. H. R. Hill, in 185.9, to experiment with and open the first gas well in this vicinity. A well was dug, being some four hundred and fifty feet deep, and a pipe laid. That well has been furnish ing fuel and light to several houses, producing the steam for a large engine and burning pot tery-kilns every day for over twenty years. The great beauty of the gas pipe is the en tire absence of smoke and dirt, and when in an open grate playing through a burning iron log, made in the imitation of wood, or over lumps of coke or red-hot fire-brick, it has all the cheerfulness of an open coal fire or an old-fashioned cointry fire-place, with none of its dirtiness. DANCING AND DARNING FOR FAME. From an Interview with Mile. Bonfanti. “Ah, yes, my life is literally spent in danc ing and darning pink slippers. Always pink, because they must match mi- tights, you know, and always to be darned,"as they would not hold together two successive evenings. You see,” continued the danseuse, holding up a slipper that Cinderella could have claimed as her own, “that these slippers are not made like those for ordinary wear. They are without heels, and with soles only big enough for a baby. The satin and kid extends under the foot, so that in reality the sole mere ly holds them _ together. Os course that wears the material. So, before they are used, I must darn them an inch in depth with the I heaviest silk, just as working-women darn their husbands’ socks. Sometimes my toes bleed, and often they are blistered with" danc ing on them, aud then here it is terrible —ten performances a week, including two on Sun day. Really, my feet do not get cool from one appearance before it is time for another. In Italy one dances only two or three times a week. There they are not expected to work like machines.” DEFEATS FOR DISRAELI. London Letter to the New York Tribune. The election in the pottery districts of Staf fordshire, which was announced last week, in which a Liberal was returned in the place of a lory who had resigned, by a majority of 300, was a serious blow to the serenity of the I Tory party, but that has been followed by an- \ other this week. The Marquis of Lome's ac-I ceptance of the Governor Generalship of | Canada has involved the resignation of his 1 seat for Argyllshire. Though sitting as a Lib-I eral throughout all this controversy, Lord 1 Lome has been unable to resist the Court in- I fluence, and he has voted as a Tory. Before 1 the election was announced, Mr. Malcolm, the I Tory member for Boston, threw up the seat he already possessed, in order to go to the • North and contest with Lord Lome’s younger I brother the seat which has been in the Argyll i family for generations. The result has been a triumph for Lord Colin Campbell of 355 | votes. Lord Colin, unlike his brother, de- i nounced the government policy, and as Mr. Malcolm supported it. and the late member had supported it, it follows that the defeat of; Mr. Malcolm is a defeat of the government. ■ A party of four were rowing on the river.
