He says the doctor of the prisoners 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. Court adjourned in Ilomer Thursday evening.

They were found guilty, and the old man and his two sons, Phil and Thatcher, were as sessed about $175 altogether, for throw ing rocks. From the testimony they threw six or eight rocks. It is estimated that the pebbles cost them about $10 apiece. Precious stones they were. In the afternoon a number of cetiorari cases were heard. Thursday morning, the first case hy a An Indian Battle Ground In Athens—Bow They Hade Their Arrow-Headi—Beliei Picked Up—site of the Fir it H. E. Church 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. Frightful glanxhter InaHlsslralPPl Court- 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. A NEGRO FIEND AT WORK. Wife of a Prominent Planter Shot Dead by a Mulatto DavU—Tbe Lady's Little Child Found Splashlnc About In Its Mother’s Blood—Tbe Inhuman Murderer Caught— A Lynching Assured—Confession of tha Deed. 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. SHOT HErVkDI’CER. Bow Els Expeaus Art Paid During His Re vival Meetings. Chicago Neva. 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. At Cincinnati a collectiou was How tha Nina Hundred People on the SUxm- •r Acted -whan the Collision took Placa— 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.

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.
