Treasure Trove Extraordinary.
A Couple of Walkers in tlic Sewers
of Nrib York —“ Pay Dirt Shirk
Heavily — Diamonds by the Dus'icl
Several years ago a lit'le German
Jew, named Schwartz, believing that
in the sewers of New \ ork might he
found many articles of value which
had bcon lost, entered them, and for
three days wandered through the laby
rinth. ilc was very successful, pick,
ing up some 527.000 worth of jewelry,
Bpoons, forks, cct.; but having lost his
way the first day, he believed that he
might have found much more could
he have carried out the original plan,
which was to visit Fifth and Madison
avenues Broadway, and tnc wealthy
portions of the city. So great, how
ever, were the difficultics and dangers
which he encountered, that nothing
could induce him again to visit‘‘New
York underground.” His adventure
for a time created quite a little sensa
tion, but there were none venturous
enough -to attempt a second, until
Wednesday of last week, when an
adventurous party of three entered the
sewer of Houston street, at the ferry of
East River, intending to remain for
one week, during w; icii time they pro
posed visiting every portion of the city
where there seemed to he any chance
of finding treasure trove. The party
consisted of Miss Mary Walker, a
young lady of eighteen, her brother
James, aged sixteen, and Mich el
Grady, an old man of about fifty.—
The project originated with Miss
Walker, and the “how” of it is in this
wis l : Some two years ago James
Walker, jr., was a merchant doing a
good business at 991-2 Bowery. lie
was getting rich fast, but in an evil
hour he was prevailed upon by friends,
to use some of his money which had
been “salted down,’’ in speculation in
geld. The result was easy to be fore,
seen. lie lost. To recover he took
money irom bi3 busimss. Again be
lost. His business became embar.
rassed; in despair he committed sui
cide, and Miss Walker and her brother
found themselves, six months ago, the
inhabitants of a loom on the upper
floor of a double tenement, 509 Sixih
street. Miss Waker, some months
ago in an old paper, wrapped around a
parcelwhich she was taking home from
a “slop- shop,” saw an account of Sell
wartz’s undertaking, and resolved 0-
imitate it. Maps were obtained and
the city studied carefully Each day’s
work forherse] , her brother and Grady
who was formerly in her father's cin
p'oy was carefully maiked out. Every
preparation which incited knowledge
could prepare for was made, and the
adventurers started.
I wish that \ might have room to
tell the story of the week they passed,
but my manuscript warns me that I
must condense. Each day they ren
dezvoused several turns in the cham
bers at the street corners. On Sunday
they had filled all the bags they had
with them, some fifteen in number
and Miss Walker return'd. Jam s
Walker and Grady continued their
search, emptying six of their hags at
the corner of '1 wenty-second street and
Fifth avenue. On Wednesday morn
ing at a very early hour, and befoie
people were stiring, Miss Walker was
at the p’ace with a wagon, liomoving
the'iron plate, which ; t each street
corner leads into a small chamber con
necting with the sewer, she found her
brother, but not Grady. He had
started - ff on another trip, although
the six bags had boon tilled in Mmlis n
avenue. The loose treasure was | laced
in extra bags, and tlie whole driven to
a Broadway jeweller’s. The rest were
taken from the places on Thursday
morning. A watch was set lo>- Grady
but up to this time of writing nothing
has been heard from him, and it is
feared that he has perished.—The ro>
suit of the week’s search is roughly es
timated ut 81.500,090. 1 saw the
treasures yesterday, piled in three
heaps on the door, and the jeweller in.
formed me that it must have cost over
$3,000,000; but, in consrqueaoe of tl e
old-lashioned style of setting, bruise.l,
battered and corr -ded condition, its
value was reduced about one half. A
little over a bushel (how queer it
sounds to talk of jewelry by the bu-h
--c l!) has been sorted and among it lias
been found one diamond ring valued
at SIO,OOO, t wo more valued at $5,000,
and half a do<en valued at $3,000 at.d
upwards. The most curious is a plain
gold ring inscribed on tlie inside in
dutjh, “Peter Stuyvcsant, to wifi .”
It is an lie r-loom of tbe Stuy vesants,
and was stolen with other jewelry, last
March by burglars. How it came in
tbo sewer is a problem for philosophers
to speculate about. Miss Walker and
foe" brother, who find themselves thus
lif. and suddenly from penu y to "great
wealth, intend to proceed to England,
where they have relatives. This ad
venture is talked of everywhere, and
already there nrc others preparing to
follow in their footsteps.
J@“ An Episcopal clergy man in
Ntw Jersey, in a sermon, estimates the
champagne diunk in this country an.

$200,000,000, while the tobacco used
costs $800,000,000, but the money ex.

On Saturday next the election will

we wish it understood, that ire of the

We are therefore unshackled and free
to speak and act impartially and for the
best interests ol the eon iiiunity. The
latter, we always endeavor to do. re
gardless of conseqileuses, and if we
fuil sometimes the error is of the head
and not the heart.
We desire the citizens of Thomas
vilie, in their choice of a hoard of Al
dermen lor the present year, to remem.
her, that they have, important public
enterprises to be controlh and and carried
out by the incoming board, and unless
a selection of competent and experi
enc-d business men is made at the
polls, those enterprises mti-t of neces
sity, languish, if not fail altogether.---
We will do the r. tiring hoard the jus
tice to acknowledge, that they have ac
complished much good for the commu
nity, in the various works undertaken,
and although they may hav, erred,
Mimciime.s, yet, no (redding < ouucil
have done so much toward the iuiprovt-
Uicnt of the town. But tho ; r works
arc not all finished, and it remains
lor the new In ard to take up whore
thc old Jolt off and prosecute with vig
or, to completion, every good work by
them begun. The new hoar 1 will have
the issuing of the eitv bonds, author
ized by the last Legislature, for suhi
seript'on to the stock ol the South

we have no doubt that a prop-'r board
will bo chosen, ana loth > full satisfac

RAILROAD MEETING AT
BAINBRIDGE.
We learn fioin the Georgian, that
a railroad mooting was bold at Bnin
bridge on the.‘list ultimo, and address
oil by jMh . boiivon, )’resident of the
Atlantic & (lull Umlioad, on the pros'
poets and eonoition ol the '’oniyaiiy.
I The chicl object of the address, how
\ over, seems to have been the setting
forth to t!:e people 1 f Decatur, tlu> im.
port mice of a e;;*b subscription of 8100,
000 lor the purpose of extending the
railroad to Bainbridgo. The I’iesi
d nt must have hud good oournga, to
approach the citizens ol Docatur u*id
ask for such a sum ns that, and at
*ut< It a linn ; but he seems to have
I none so with much grace, and confi
dence, while the pci pie, taking him
at his won!, have gone to work, to

for they dererve it.
“GENERAL BEAUREGARD’S
POSITION.
(Jen. P. T. Beauregard, is I'resi
dent ol the New Orleans and Jackson
railroad. At 'Canton Miss, recently,
lie presided at a least given tc. certain
members of Congress on an i xeuremu
to New Orleans, and delivered a speech
ot welcome, lie was reported to t e
New Votk llerold to have said on that
occasion, that ‘-he expressed the r'uti
meats of the fighting men of the South
wbpn he said t hat he was in favor of
a consolidated government, that the
doctrine of State rights is buried out
of sight ”
Wo do not think Qen. Beauregard
made such a declaration, but if he di I,
he was s niply mistaken about repre
senting the sentiments of the fighting
mm of the Sou'h. It may he that
Georgians are net fighting men, at;.ay
rate Gen. Beauregard did not express
their sentiment.-, anil we take the lib.
erty of saying that they would not fol
low the immortal Lee n such an ig>
nominious surrender of nil tho Boutli
fought for, and quarter of
a million of I er most heroic sons.
DISCOVERED !
It is reported by tbe Tribune that
Head Centre Stephens lias, ever since
bis myTrjogs disappearance, been
romeolril in New York city. While
the report was going about that be bod
sailed for Ireland.and was at the head
of the late insurrection there, Stephens
was in fact, concealed in New York.
The Tribune thinks he will hardly
keep his engagetnen' with Great Bri
tain—tor n must be remrmbetod he
boasted that he would "attack Great
Britain before the last year expired,
with tin army that would ensure the
freedom of Ireland A# wc bf licvcd
from the first. Stephens hys only prov
ed him-elf to he a boas’ing swindler
-nd impostor, lie has pocketed hun
dreds of thousands of dollars ( rnm the
hard earnings of his poor deluded fol
lower-. and tohen tlie time rrived for
his boasted deeds, he conceals himself
Perhaps lie may now receive his just
deserts.
“BRICK POMEROY.”

DISSENSION IN THE RADI
CAL R4NK3.
The breach mu 'c by Senator Fessen
den, in the Radical ranks, is repotted
to he widening, and the strong current
thus set in m -tion. in favor of the
South, is so rapitjly increasing in
volume that if so-'tns impossible for
the Radicals to fill up the breach, oven
with all thcii senations of butchery,
trait-irism, and negro oppression, from
tbe South The signs are growing
more favorable, and ere hr g we hope
to see the sun shining through the
long pent up heavens.
fligyi'he New York Herald is now
satisfied that the South cannot he res,
tored by torch and turpentine, nor by
bluster and hnneomh. It therefore
recommends that she lie left out in th
cold, as she is four or live, ten or even
twenty years, or until reason and com- j
man sense prevails among her people.
The 1/era/d proposes that, the Govern
ment si all only intetfere to prevent
the whites and blacks from cutting
etith other’s throats, and if the present
generation prove contumacious, Go
vernment can afford to wait f.-r the
next, who may he more reasonai-le, on
the subject of the Constitutional
Amendment
Tli s is tho most sensible view Ren
nett Inis yet taken of the subject, and
we now he in to entertain hope of his
return to reason. Whenever they let
the South alone, she will bo all right
on the Union question, nor will she
nec-l protection from without to pre
vent her people lrom cutting one an
others throats.

TJiomasville, Gu., Jan. 5, 1 1-7.
At the regular meeting ol this Lodge,
held this evenii g at their Bodge Room,
the following report was made by the
< uni mi t toe appointed for that purpose,
accepted 1-y the Lodge, and ordcreu
to be published :
RE FORT.
Th" Committee appointed by the
W. M.. on the 28th ult.. to return the
thanks of the ur embers of St. Thomas
Lodge to the Committee of Arrange
ments appointed fur celebrating the
Festival of St. John the Evangelist, on
thd 27th ult.,—to the Ladies who de
corated the Hall of Installation and
Supper R oro, and contributed to fur
nish the table—to tne Ladies and Gen
tlemen who favored the fraternity and
their honored guest- with music—and
to tbe Orator of the evenii g l--r bis
learned and appropriate ad Iress on the
occasion—beg leave respectfully to
make ?he following rep- rt :
That they have endeavored, to the
best of their moderate ability, to per
form the duty assigned them bv the
W. M. But in taking up the pleas
ant ta<k, the more they contemplated
the theme, the more they flt how
short they must come of doing the
subject that justice conimensuiate with
its merit. The ci lehralion was gotten
up almost extemp raucously, and con
sequently hut a short time was give
to its consideration by the Committee
of Arrangements—or to the Ladies to
prepare their beautiful and appropri
ate decorations for the Installation
Hall and Banquet Ro-in- nr to the
Lady and Gentlemen amateurs to prac
tice their choice and seb-et music
nor had the Orator s'lfliei- nt time for
reading, reflection or arrangement.—
Yet your Committee would do tttem
selves winner, and the parties to their
subject great injustice, did they not
speak in the highest terms o' praise of
the performance in each and cverv de
partment. Your Committee do not
desire to make this report without just
dis ri mi nation ; hut where till duties
were •discharged so well, they find
nothing to criticise. The Committee
of Arrangen cots desired t" affnd plea
sure and enjoyment to all, and were
happy, as vour Committee believes, in
succeeding to a very I rge extent
'l'he Ladies who decorated the halls
furnished the t»bl sand at ranged
them, w re indefatigable in t'-o’r exer
tions, and cannot he spoken o ir- terms
of commendation too strong, both for
their bountiful contributions and the
; taste and elegance with which the
! sumptuous and ample offerings were
j arranged on the h- ard and around the
hails. The vocal music of the choir of
amateurs who favored the company was
all tlmt the most fastidious ear could
desire; and the Lady who occupied the
chair at the organ w-m univessal ad.
miration. From the Orator, everyone
who et-joved a personal acnuaintarice
with him, anticipated a rich intellec
tual treat, and none were disappointed
in their expectations. Thus we have
nothing to speak of but what calls for
lho highest commendation Your
Committee therefore respectfully offer
tho following resolutions :
1. Resoled, That the officers nn I
members of 'St. Thomas Lodge, return
their most Cordial thanks to the bre
thren compo-ing ihc oWi in it tee of Ai
r.mgemonts, lor Ili ir zeal and fi oliiy
in the discharge of the om rung duties
confided tj them, ii getting up the
celebration of’the late Festival of St
folin the Evangelist.
2. Resolred. That the members of
St. Thomas’ Lodge, return their thanks
to the Ladies of Thoinasvillo anil its
vicinity, for the bountiful contrr 11-
lions to the late Festival, and to those
Ladies inure particularly who afforded
them their personal assistance in deco
rating the Halls and arranging tho
tables
3. peso]riit, That the members
aforesaid tender tl.eir thanks to the
Ladies and Gentlemen who contribu
ted the excellent vocal music f -r the
occasion, and the accomplished Lady
who so gracefully and art slicully pro

ly carried on in this city. Imtead nl
plaster, which till lately entered so
largely into the inaoul'icttire of con
fectionery, in place of sugar, anew
article has been discovered called terra
nl'm. or white earth It eonies from
Ireland, mil costs by the barrel about
11 cents pier pouo 1, while loaf sugar
costs about 17 ecu's.
The bodies ol candies the coating
of almonds and I>z nges, ate inode
from this earthy iintcrial. It is
wliit.i r than plaster and is very mu- li
used in tin* adulteration of flour used
in this mark t. A glue, paint and ml
manufacturer of New l ark li is sent
round bis an- ual oireiil.tr, win di l
have seen, to the principal confection
ers, culling attention to a fresh arrival
of this white earth. I have seen an
o' nee ot lozenges dissolved in water,
in which two.third-of an ounce wa
ul' term alb 1, and not a particle of su
gar 111 the b-t.
The common method of fl ivori. g
can ies, ahii .nils, sugar, plums, eet .
is with deleterious suh-tuiices. The
piueappl - flavor, banana and the peach
are made from fusel oils, which are
very poisonous. Bitter almond tliv 1-
is made from pru-sic acid unadulter
ated. I* neapplo flivor is obtained
from rotton cheese, very rotten and
nitric acid.
(ium arabic for pure gum drops i
eostly. An article has been invented
ol the m >st beautiful appearance, tbit
is used instead of the gum It is
very cheap and very poisonous.
In pure candy cochineal is used to
color red, and saffiori for the yellow.
But iu tbe cotun on candies poisonous
color is put, the same that is used to
color vino* atid liquors. One cf the
most common is “cariot,” into which.
a*-senic largely enters.
A few grains of the sub-tanee will
color a cask of wine. Liquorice
drops for tbe “trade” are made of poor
brown sugar, glue and lampblack, fla
vorcti with lieu-trice. And for the
Western trade much of this vile stuff
is packed and sent \\ esi to be put up
in boxes to suit the maiket, of which
fr- in 75 to 90 per cent, is terra alba
This material enters largely into the
cornmon chocolates and spices. Much
of the cicatu of tartar used lor bread
isjnade.yf terra alba and tartaric
