gave him every medicine known for the
disease, but there was no iirfprovemcnt
in his condition until he got a quart of
com whisky. He began to improve im
mediately. He expresses himself as de
lighted with the menu of the stockade.
He was fed on cow-peas and corn-bread
every day, with cabbage once a week
for a rarity. They also gave him beef
on Thursdays and Sundays for a deli
cacy. For breakfast he had four bis
cuits the size of a silver dollar, coffee
and bacon. He says while in the resort
he has been studying for the ministry,
and thinks of going to China as a mis
sionary. Mr. Sanders is of Dutch, Irish
and Scotch descent, and is proud of his
ancestry, llis ancestors figured con-
picuously in the battles of Waterloo,
under William Wallace, for Scotch inde
pendence, and his great-grandfather was
at Yorktown at the surrender of Corn
wallis. We think Pea’s ancestry, judg-
ng from his appearance, were the follow
ers of Confucius. Pea is a perfect Mon-
lian. with the exception of a quc. Pea
himself boasts of a proud war record.
He was with Gen. Scott in the Monte-
zumas. and claims to have been his aide-
de-Camp when he entered the City of
Mexico. He was in nearly all of the big
battles of the late war, and was at the
battles of Bull Run, Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg, and many others. Pea has
never as yet surrendered his Confederate
allegiance. He is a Toombs man. and
has been at war with Uncle Sam and the
revenue men for the last 20 years. He
is like Gen. Johnston, too, in one re-
pect, in his career—he is an officer who
knows how to retreat, and has always
managed to keep away from the officers
and to evade the revenue men. Pea
says now that he is going to farming; has
rented four acres of land and intends to
make a good crop of peas. He also in
tends to quit blockading, and expects to
live a quiet, peaceable citizen the bal
ance of his days. C. E. T.

In Our city, etc.
A few days since, in taking an excur
sion on the street cars, we had as com
panion de voyage that eminent and en
tertaining gentleman Prof. Wins. Ruth
erford. It is always a source of infor
mation and pleasure to listen to Prof. R.,
and we lost no time in starting np a con
versation. Our subject was a talk that
he had lately given the Salmagundi Club
on Indian relics.
Prof. Rutherford says that in an eld
field just beyond the old fair grounds,
within the incorporate limits of
Athens, the land belonging
to Mr. Streckfuss, and which
he has leased as a pasture, was at one
time fonght a bloody battle between the
Creeks and Cherokees, long before this
country was ever penetrated by the
white man. The ground is admirably
suited for a scene of carnage, there being
a hill and a valley and branch, the valley
at that time covered with a dense growth
of cane, and it is just such a spot as the
Indians would select for a battle field.
It will be remembered that the boundary
between these two powerful tribes of In
dians was at Cherokee Corner, but a
short distance from Athens, and as they
were always at war, it is more than prob
able that one of their eng agements took
place here. And to substantiate this
claim. Prof. Rutherford says he once
owned tho field, and in cnltivating it the
plow would turn up vast numbers of ar
row-heads. After the property passed
from his hands it was permitted to grow
up in Bermuda grass, that of course cov
ered the ground. He a short time since
told some little negroes that he would
give them s nickel apiece for all the ar
row-heads they could find in that field.
The Professor had no idea that they
would tax his purse very heavily; but to
his surprise, a few nights afterwards, a
delegation of juvenile suffrage-slingcrs
filed into his house, each one with both
hands filled with arrow-heads. The Pro
fessor said it made quite a hole in his
finances to make good his offer. These
relics were evidently not manufactured
where found, as there is no flint rock
near suitable for the purpose, and such
vast numbers could only have been scat
tered at one place during a considerable
battle, fought long before the introduc
tion of fire-arms among the red-skins.
Near this branch and a fine
spring stood the first Metho
dist church ever built in Athens,
but no signs of it now remain. Prof.
Rutherford says there was a large grave
yard on the land when he owned it,
which spot was left undisturbed, but
the graves have since been plowed over
and all signs of them obliterated. Here
were buried many of the early settlers
of our county.
We asked the Professor to describe to
ub the process by which the Indians,
without tools of any kind, could manage
to make their arrow-heads of the hardest
flint. He says he wrote to Col. C. C.
Jones, of Augusta, who has made the
Indian character and hat.its his study,
asking this same question, and Col.
Jones wrote him a full and satisfactory
answer. The Indians did not cut their
arrow-heads from large boulders of flint,
as many suppose, but they searched far
and selected large pieces as near the
desired shape as possible. Having neith
er iron nor steel tools to work with, they
selected the hardest substance at their
command, viz; a sharp piece of stone. It
took two Indians to make an arrow,
head. One held the piece of flint that
he desired to shape firmly in the hand,
so grasped that it could not move.
Against this he held a sharp piece of
stone, that the other workman tapped
with a rock hammer. Thus bit by bit
the flint was chipped away and shaped,
until made into a perfect arrow-head. It
had to be held in the palm of the hand,
for the flint would have been broken
and ruined had it rested on any harder
substance while worked upon. The
process, of course, was very tedious and
slow, but then time was no object to the
Aboriginees, and those stone arrow-heads
were the most effective weapons they
could make.

Ten Negroaa Shot Dead ny a Band of Arm
ed Hen-Ths Cants of tha Trouble.
Grenada, Miss., March 17 —
News of • terrible tragedy enacted
at Carrollton, an interior town,
twenty-iour miles south west of Gre
nada, was received here this even
ing. Fifty men rode into the town
and repaired to the c«u't house,
where thirteen negroes « ere wait
ing their trial. The white men
walked into the court-room and shot
ten negroes' dead and mortally
wounded the other three.
The shooting grew out of the at
tempted assassination of James Lid
dell, a prominent citizen, who »«,
shot and seriously wounded by
these negroes several weeks ago.
HOW THE TRAGEDY OCCURRED.
Winona, Miss., March 17.—At
Carrollton, to-day, a fearful tragedy
occurred, in which ten negroes were
killed and three wounded. Some
weeks ago two negroes attempted
to assassinate J. M. Liddell. Jr., in
Aiding some painful,but not serious
wounds. The negroes engaged in
this dastardly attempt are known to
be the most defiant and lawless in
the country, and since the attempt
on Mr. Liddell’s life have been more
openly defiant than ever. For some
reason not known, they swore out
a warrant for Liddell's arrest. It
was at this trial to-day that the kill-
occurred. The negroes present
were mostly armed. About ten
o’clock a party of armed men, num
bering abeut forty or fifty persons,
rode up to the court house. They
dismounted, entered the building,
andat once commenced firing on
the negroes, with the above result.
They then returned by the same
route they came. They do not live
near Carrollton.
MORE LIGHT ON THE TRAGEDY.
Later news throws a little more
light on. the horrible assassination
at the magistrate’s trial, before
Mayor Elam, in the court house to
day, in connection with the recent
trouble betweed a few negroes and
J. M. Liddell, Jr. About twenty
colored men were present. The
trial had been going on but a little
while, when fifty white men, well
mounted, and each carrying a Win
chester rifle, came galloping up and
surrounded the court house. They
then fired into the building, instant
ly killing ten negroes and wounding
three others so that they died soon
alter. With the exception of a few
who escaped through the windows,
all the other negroes in the building
were wounded, none ot them seri
ously.

Knoxville, Tenn., March 17.—
A horrible crime was committed
to-day near Loudon, 30 ir.iles below
Knoxville. The wife ol Thos. Gray
was murdered bj a mulatto, 20
years of age, named John Gillespie.
Capt. Gray, who is a wealthy far
mer, went to a funeral, leaving the
negro at work on the premises. Re
turning two hours later, he found
his wife dead on the floor, shot in
the back of the head. Their infant
child was playing in her blood.
Gillespie mounted Gray's horse and
fled. It is supposed he attempted
to outrage Mrs. Gray and then fired
two loads of shot into the hack of
her head from a double-baireled
shot-gun. One hundred men were
soon in pursuit, swearing to lynch
the negro as soon as caught. To
night Gillespie was captured within
ten miles of the scene ot the mur
der. He confessed the crime and
will undoubtedly be lynched be
fore morning.

The Rev. Ssm Jones’ mesne of
support is unlike that of most revi
valists. The practice of nearly all
of them is to charge a stipulated
amount per week for their services.
This is agreed upon in advance, and
is often a good round su n. Fur in
stance. Harrison, the b -y preacher,
gets from $150 to $300 a week, and
makes nearly as much mote from
the sales of his song books, his au
tobiography, and several other
bonks. Sain Jones adopts a differ
ent plan. It is not generally known
that he is a novice in conducting
meetings such as are now in pro
gress. This is the fourth or fifth
place in which he has attempted
such a thing. At St. L mis, as he
himself admits, he made a compar
ative failure. He undertook to con
duct meetings there with only one
pastor and a single church behind
him in the way of moral support.
The other churches withheld active
co-operation, and many pastors and
laymen criticised him severely.
Then he tried it in another church
there with little better success.
After a briet rest he went to Cin
cinnati, where his success was al
most phenomenal. He began mod
erately, but with quite general sup
port from the churches, and before
he got through even the great Mu
sic Hall was too small to hold the
throngs that flocked to hear him.
For some time before going to St.
Louis his practice was to hold his
meetings in a large tent which he
carried about with him. He relied
upon collections for support, and
these, after the people had been
aroused to great religions enthusi
asm, not infrequently brought him
from 8500 to $i,oooa week.
In Chicago Sam Jones is not, or
at least will not be, entirely depend
ent on voluntary contributions for
the support of himself and family.
The Western Methodist Book Con
cern at Cincinnati has acquired a
copyright on his sermons and the
exclusive privilege of publishing
them in book form for the next
three years. How much was paid
for the copyright is not learned. It
is said that the sum was not large,
but the firm agrees to pay Jones a
royalty on each book sold. It isthe
intention when his engagement
ends, or perhaps before, to take up
a collection for him. It is expected
that alter the people have been stir
red up more and the moral support
of the churches has become
more united and pronounced there
will be no trouble in collecting $1,-
000 or more for that purpose.
Sam Small, it is said, came here
under promise of a definite sum, the
negotiation being made through
Mr. Revill. of the Chicago Avenue
church. He will continue to assi-t
Sam Jones next week on the south
side, and it is probable that a col
lection will be taken up for him
also.

How tha Nina Hundred People on the SUxm-

Erery Soul on Board Saved.
New York Otar.
The magnificent steamer, Oregon,
if the Culnard line, lies at the bot
tom of the sea. She sailed for this
port on Sunday, March 7, and was
wrecked off Fire Island, Sunday
last. There were 896 souls on board,
all ol who n were saved. The early
hour at which the accident occured
renders the escape of all on board
but little less than a miracle.
The Oregon collided at twenty
minutes past 5 o’clock on Sunday
morning with a large, heavily laden,
three masted schooner. The point
of cobsion was between Fire Island
and Shinnecock, about fifteen miles
off shore. The shock was terific
and awoke every one on board. The
noise of the collision could have
been heard for at least two miles,
and resembled the boom of the sun
set cannon «»Governor’s Island. The
hole knocked in the bow of the
Oregon on the port side was fully
six feet square, and principally be-
lew the water line. The water rush
ed in like a cateract. The pumps
were put in use by Chief Officer
Mathews, w ho was on the bridge,
as it was apparent that the damage
was too serious to admit ot wasting
time on an examination. The great
hole wasjust underneath the dining
room, and the bow of the schooner
penetrated so far that engines were
disabled.
Aroused from deep slumber long
before daylight on a cold morning,
most of the 650 passengers rushed
on deck in their night clothes, their
shrieks and cries almost drowning
the commands of the officers. The
pumps were worked to their fullest
extent,and when it became apparent
that the steamer must sink, an at
tempt was made to get the boats
ready. In the confusion this was a
work of the greatest difficulty. For
tunately the sea was as smooth as
glass, and only a light breeze pre
vailed.
The unknown schooner struck
the Oregon heavily three times in
quick succession, anJ each time
crashed the timbers to pieces and
made a large hole. In less than
minutes after the last contact the
schooner went down.
ft is supposed that all on board of
the unknown craft wete iost.as none
of the crew were seen to lower a
boat,
Some of the passengers maintain
ed their presence of mind, and final
ly succeeded in calming the more
timid. Soon afterwards the pilot
boat No. 11 was sighted, and in con
junction with the schooner Fanny
Gorham, transferred the passengers
and crew in safety. This occupied
about three hours and was conclu
ded about 11 o’clock. The Oregon
drifted helplessly about, and finally
sank at 1:40 p. m.
When tne collision took place the
captain was below and Chief Officer
Matthews was in command on the

FROZEN CASr.
Last winter Mr. Toomer got 16 little
carp frotn the government and placed
them in a buried tub in his front yard,
filled with water and in which he grew
pond liilies. He fed the flah, but never
changed the stagnant water, and they
lived and thrived for several months,
growing to be nearly as long as the hand.
The water in the tub was several times
frozen solid to the bottom, the fish being
wedged in the hard ice, but when it
melted they were found all right The
carp were finally all lolled by patting
lime in the tab. Mr. Toomer says he
can raise carp in a water bucket er mud-
hole. • It is net even necessary to change
the water on them.
