A MIXED LETTER.
Alabama Poll ties- A Traveling Hum
bug-A Significant Picture-Bar
num’s First and Last Wife.
Troy, Ala., October 10th, 1874.
Editors Constitutionalist : Having
promised you a letter from this sec
tion, it seems but right that wo should
keep cur promise, although there is
hardly anything of general interest to
place before your readers. Our grow
ing little city is at the present ter
minus of the Mobile and Girard Rail
road, eighty-five miles from Columbus,
to which point nearly all our cotton
goes, the balance being sent to Mont
gomery, Selma, Savannah and New
York. No place of its size in the South
to-day is doing the same amount of
business or has a better future before
it. Mr. Oglesby, of your paper, has
once visited this section as the popu
lar representative of tho ablest and
most successful weekly journal in Ala
bama, and he will be gratified to know
that the town has rapidly and largely
increased its business capacity since
that time. Over 1,200 bales of cotton
were brought lu here by wagons dur
ing the past month.
It is hardly necessary to tell you
that your recent election in Georgia
has moved the white man’s party in
this State to renewed exertions, and
we are as sure to carry Alabama as the
sun is to riso on the morning of the
eventful and anxiously waited for 3d
of November. The Radicals are mak
ing desperate and vile efforts to defeat
the will of the white property holders,
but they have thus far been unsuccess
ful. In all negro counties they are
split Into two or three factions, and
their hate of each other is terrible.
Still, it may be that they will unite be
fore election. In doubtful counties
the Radicals have made no nomina
tions, or have nominated independ
ent (?) Democrats. This plan don’t
work well, as all respectable nominees
oiithis class decline to run on any such
ticket. Federal troops and United
States marshals are traveling about
tho State, visiting Democratic Conven
tions to arrest men who were to be
found days before at their houses, in
the hope that a formidable resistance
would be made. This trick don’t
work, and the Radicals arc sad. They
must get up fresh outrages, or their
defeat is sure. So you can look out
for startling reports.
A TRAVELING HUMBUG.
As the Atlanta papers announce the
appearance in that city of one “ Col.”
De Mahler, who claims to have walked
40,000 miles since 1862, we desire to
put you and your citizens on your
guard, that ho may not succeed in hum
bugging you as to his wonderful .pe
destrian feats. Some two years ago
we exposed him in our paper In this
city as a fraud, he having then walked
only 25,000 miles, as claimed by him.
According to his last aggregate state
ment, he has walked 15,000 miles dur
ing the past two years. As to his
wounds, his title of “ Col.” and all that
sort of stuff, it is the veriest nonsense.
We asked him for his documents, and
he could only show us newspaper puffs
based on his own statements. We then
wrote to Selma, Ala., where he claimed
to have commanded a regiment in its
defonse, and was terribly wounded,
and Col. McKee sent us back word that
they never knew such a character
there, and that he was a humbug. Let
the Georgia press beware of his oily
tongue, and give no credit to his per
sonal narratives.
A SIGNIFICANT PICTURE.
The New York Daily Graphic, of a
recent date, has a full page picture of
great significance. It represents, in
the back-ground, a fight between white
men on horseback and negroes on
foot, and in tho foreground, a general
on horseback who resembles Sherman,
but who may be intended for Grant.
Underneath this illustration is the
title, “ The Man on Horseback. Ist. as
the solution'of the great Southern conun
drum?” The significant part of the
picture is this: The horse is planted
firmly on his forefeet, which are close
together, and seems to say by his
striking attitude that he does not pro
pose to move an inch forward. The
artist may have drawn this animal in a
hurry, and not have intended to give
him that air of resistance to any effort
to set “ The Man on Horseback against
the people of the South, which is
plainly indicated, but this fact will be
made plain to any person who will re
fer to the Daily Graphic of September
22d.
babntjm’s first and last wife.
The recent marriage of the great
showman, P. T. Barnum, to a daughter
of Mr. John Fish, a retired Lancashire
manufacturer, calls up memories of his
first marriage, November Bth, 1829, by
Rev. Dr. McAuley, in the city of New
York. Like Vanderbilt and many oth
er men who have risen from poverty to
affluence and position, Barnum owed
his early success in life to the prudence
and co-operation of his first wife, “ the
attractive tailoress, Charity Eallett,”
whom he wisely made his companion
for life. Of this marriage Barnum has
this to say in his “Forty Years’ Recol
lections ” : “I do not approve or re
commend early marriage. The minds
of men and women taking so important
a step in life should be somewhat ma
tured, aud hasty marriages, especially
marriages of boys aud girls, have been
the cause of untold misery in many in
stances. But although I was little
more than nineteen years old when I
was married, I have always felt as
sured that if I bad waited twenty years
longer I could not have found another
woman so well suited to my disposi
tion, and so admirable and valuable in
every character as a wife, mother, and
a friend.”
Barnum often called her his “ treas
ure of a wife,” and spoke in the highest
terms of her economical management
of his household in his years of “strug
gles,” before the years of “triumphs”
came to him. He confessed, in his
later years, that she had been his sup
port in adversity and his solace in
prosperity, and he spared no efforts to
render her declining years, burdened
as they were with sickness, as comfort
able as possible. He was ever a fond
husband and a kind father, and pro
vided liberally for her four daughters,
all of whom married, except the third
one, who died at two years of age.—
The lady whom Mr. Barnum has just
married is but little older than bis
youngest daughter, being only thirty,
but she is a most excellent lady, and
the daughter of an old aucl esteemed
English friend of his, and will no doubt
make him a good wife. At least, such
is the heartfelt wish of his long-time
friend, Sidn e y Herbert,
A couple of corn doctors, Wm. M.
Childs and James S. Woodward, so
called, swindled the Warrenton hotel
last week. .
AUGUSTA, GA.. TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 20. 1874.
Songs by the Late Bryan Waller
Proctor.
[We print below two of Mr. Proctor’s
songs. The “ King Death ” -was very pop
ular in its day, and Fry used it as the open
ing chorus of his opera “ Leonora ”]:
KING death.
King Death was a rare old fellow!
He sat where no sun could shine;
And he lifted his head so yellow,.
And poured out his coal-black wine.
Hurrah! for the coal-black wine!
There camo to him many a maiden,
Whose eyes had fo got to shine;
And widows, with grief o’erladen,
For a draught of his sleepy wine.
Hurrah! for the eoal-black wine!
Tho Scholar left all his learning;
The Poet his fancied woes;
And the Beauty her bloom returning,
Like life to the fading rose.
Hurrah! for the coal-black wine!
All come to the royal old fellow,
Who laughed till his eyes dropped brine,
And ho gave them his hand so yellow,
And Pledged them in Death’s black wino.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Hurrah! for tho coal-black wino!
A petition to time.
Touch us gently, Time!
Let us glide adown thy stream
Gently—as we sometimes glide
Through a quiet dream!
Humble voyagers are we,
Husband, wife aud children three—
(One is lost—an angel fled
To the azure, overhead!)
Touch us gently, Time!
We’ve not proud nor soaring wings;
Our ambition, our content,
Lies in simple things.
Humble voyagers are we,
O’er Life’s dim, unsounded sea,
Seeking only some calm clime—
Touch us gently, gentle Time!

The Atlanta News says: “If such

treachery and dishonesty must be con

held and supported, we shall, so God
may help us, strike at him and war
upon him ceaselessly, unrelentingly,
until he has been fought down! ”
The Savannah Daily Sun, of the 18th

tho only son of Mr. Chas. G. Farmer, a
planter, twelve miles from Dawson, in
Terrell county,while playing around the
cotton gin on his father’s plantation,
which was in motion at the time, was

headlong against the larger cog-wheel,

was nearly ten years of age, handsome,
intelligent aud hearty. At the time of
the sad occurrence his mother was in
this city.”

trying to starve them out.
