s SOUTHERN BANNER: JANUARY 22, 1878. Ilowell Cobb’s Politeness. Gen. Layfayette McLaws, in his recent address on the “ Battle of Get tysburg,” after relating a flag scene in WilUamport, added : “ This reminds me of an incident that happened while on the march through Frederick City on our previous campaign of invasion. Gen. Howell Cobb’s brigade, a very large and fine one, indeed, was march ing with a band of music playing through the streets, the General at the head of his column, when two ladies appeared on a balcony waiving two small flags. The General, a gallant gentleman as he was, with the ladies iu war, pulled of his hat and bowed to them with great curtesy, his men cheering in unison ; but presently the cheering was succeeded by a burst of laughter from the rear, and as the General turned to find out the cause, the men shouted : “ Why, General, those are Federal flags!” The Gens eral not at all disconcerted, replied at once : “ Never mind, boys, that is not the first time I have pulled off my hat to that flag!’’ The men now cheered more than before, and the column went on in the best of humor. I men tion this to show with what little un worthy and ungenerous feeling our men went iuto the invasion, and scorned to give offense or insult where it could not be resented.” That Moot Court . Editor Banner—It you had been as lucky as I, and bad the pleasure of u spectator, the MdoVCouiV m 'i*rof. Mitchell’s law class, of this place last Saturday, you would, I think, have learned a litt’e about the law, as it was well ex pounded by those well trained and talented young lawyers of this school. They seemed to be thoroughly versed i:i all branches of the science which is owing to the special traiuing in all parts of the law course given. They brought up the old poet Savage and tried him over, not being satisfied with his former trial some hundred and fifty years ago. The Messrs. Thomas and Davis held high the dignity of the State in flowery terms, and defying either counsel for the old poet to dare impeach their iclt- nesse/t. The counsel for old poet— Harris and Lowry, acted well their part and made a division in the jury in spile of law anil evidence. The voang gentlemen conducted the case as old and experienced lawyers would have done. The jury not agreeing, Savage will {not be hung yet awhile. “ Spectator.” T-lf-t ot Letters.

Alexander, of Rome, whose opinion covers the whole ground, says if the office of Governor should be come vacant by death of the present incumbent before the meeting of the Legislature in November next, Hon. Rufus E. Lester, present President of the Senate would, unquestionably be the Governor. He says: “ The Legislature elect would not be competent to call itself together. It is against the constitution for it to assemble before November, 1878. It was elected for the purpose of meet ing on that day, and it cannot meet at any other time, unless the Gov ernor should convene it by a call. Until the members of the Legislature meet and are qualified, the old Legislature is our regular Legisla ture. If the Governor should die, President Lester will be Governor ex officio. “ As to the homestead, it would be impossible for any one to take either the homestead of’68 or ’77 just now. Th2 two homesteads were put up as two candidates anil voted for. The homestead uf’08 was wiped out by the vote; all that attaches to it went with it. As to the homestead of’77, there is no technical channel through which that could be reached. It is a guaranteed right that is not at pres ent available. I do. not think, how ever, it will be necessary for the Legislature to be called to prpvidf Tjt remedy. The courts will n#tke »last for themselves, as they frequently do. They will probably take the pro cedure of ’68 and allow a man to take under it the homestead of *77.” entreated not to precipitate them- j selves from the window while there remains the least possiblity of assis-; tauce, and even in the lasteiutremity a plain rope is invaluable, or resource may be had by joining sheets or blankets together, fastening one end to the bedpost or other furniture. This will enable one person to lower all the others separately, and the last may let himself down with compara tively little risk. Select a window over the doorway rather than over the area. Do not give vent to the fire by breaking into the house unnecessari ly’ from without or, if an inmate, by opening the door or windows. Make a point of shutting every door after you as von go through the house. For this purpose doors in closing the staircase are very useful. COMMERCIAL. THE ATHENS MARKETS.

Throw yourself on the ground and roll over on the flame—if possible on The rug or loose drugget, which drag under you.

Persons especially exposed to the risk of their dresses taking fire should adopt the precaution of having all linen and cotton washed in a weak solution of chloriil of zine, alum or tungstate of sods. George' Alfred Townsend, in the Ciucir»at,ti Gazette, has this to say about Georgia Statesmen: “ The story of modern Georgia politics, as I am told, was a combina tion made between llowcll Cobb, Toombs and Stephens,^ about 1856, which made Cobb Governor, Toombs Senator, and re-elected Stephens to Congress. Cobb ; s regarded as the ablest headed man Georgia has pro duced, Toombs as the most willful and individual orator, and S.ephens as the most subtilo politician. Hill went into Stephens’ district when a lad, and stumped so personally and fiercely against him that Stephens, whose skin is as thin as a mosquito I . net, sent Hill a challenge. Toombs, also, was subject to Hill's virile at tacks, and bate resulted. Gordon came up in the war as a fine officer, and his activity and zeal have ecr- tainlv made him a strong Senator. A Very good Reason.—The rea son why only one sample bottle of Haraua Merrell’s Hepatine for the Liver will he sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Druggist, C. W. Long & Co. is because of t he enormous expense of importing the Hepatine into, this coun try ; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for a medicine that cures dyspepsia and liv er complaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cts. at C. W. Long & Co., Drug store.

A Few Common Sense Directions that Fverjboily Can Understand. The following directions lor con duct in case of fire are issued by the British Iloyal Society for the Pro tection of Life from Fire: Every household should make each person in his home acquainted with the best means of escape, whether the fire breaks out at the top or at the bottom Inmates at the fire alarm should endeavor calmly to reflect what means of escape there are iu the house. If in bed at the time wrap themselves iu a blanket or beside carpet; open neither windows nor doors more than necessary; shut every door after them. (This is most important to observe). In the midst of smoke it is compar atively clear towards the ground; consequently progress through smoke can be made on the hands and knees. A silk handkerchief, worsted stockens or other flannel substance, wetted and drawn over the lace, permits free breathing and excludes to a great extent the smoke froth the lungs. A wet sponge is alike efficacious. In the event of being unable to escape either by the street, door or the roof, the person in danger should immediately make their way to the front room window, taking care to close the door after them, and those who have charge of the household should ascertain that every individual is there assembled. Persons thus circumstanced are CHARLES P. STUBBS, (Successor to Groover, Stubbs & Co.,) COTTON FACTOR , —AND— General Commission Merchant, AGENT* FOR THE Quitnuci Factory Yarns, 1*4 BAY STREET, Savannah, G eorgia.
