SOUTHERN BANNER: JUNE 11, 18?$. - ^*4UPH . A Remarkable Career. »• ■ A MAN WHO, WITH ORSINI, TRIED TO ASSASSINATE LOUIS NAPOLEON NOW AN OFFICER IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY. Tie following remarkable sketch of the career of Lieutenant Do Rumiio of Custer’s old Seventh Cavalry, now rise all Frfc^po would lx*. It was a night of terro. lIjc c ; t y. The extent ot the conspix>./.y ^ secret to all except the conspirators. There j was universal'dread ot all the possi* bililies of a Commune. During the night there were 54 killed and 117 wounded. The storm passed, and the Etnper- for and Lmpress remained unharmed. stationed at Bismarck, W. T., is told by a correspondent: De Rudio is the man who, with Sergeant O’Xeil, had such a marvelous two days’experi ence in the midst of the hostile Sioux two years ago, keeping them at hay from cover with a repeating rifle for hours ; then traveling their country lor two days without food or knowl edge of their situation. De Rudio was originally an officer in the Aus trian army, hut was expelled and exiled for sympathy with the op pressed Italians. ^ # Louis Napoleon had belonged to the Italian association of patriots, had proven a traitor, and was then, in 1858. in the way of a successful political revolution. Ilia death would turn all Europe topsy-turvy, .and give the oppressed a hearing. On the 10th of January, 1858, De Rudio dropped into Paris. He was there by appointment. lie was a fellow- conspirator of Felice Orsini. It was planned that the Emperor should die at one of his grand balls, at the hand of a guest’s dagger. De Rudio called that ignoble, assassination, criminal. He said : “ Kill him when he is surrounded by his lancers iu the public street, when he has every guard thrown around his imperial pet son!’’ The plot was changed, and the now historical scene of Jan uary 14, 1858, followed. De Rudio’s book gives a picture of the drama in front ox the Grand Opera House that is remarkably distinct. There were five hand-grenades, or bombshells, to be thrown—three into the royal carriage and one some dis tance in front and one in the rear, to keep 1 a ;k the crowd until the con spirators were sure of their work and escape. The Emperor’s carriage, with the Emperor and Empress Eugenie in it. approached the grand stairway of the opera-house .through a file of lancers on either side. De Rudio says lie was standing immedi ately behind the soldiers when the ■Carriage caine up, watching the con spirator who was commissioned to throw the first grenade. When lie saw bis aim make a curve through the air, De Radio dropped to the ground ; quick as the explosion oc curred ho raised himself up and tossed his grenade over the heads of the lancers, and again dropped, wait ing for Orsini to throw the third one; but Orsini was binded by the smoke from De Rudio’s shell and wounded in the head; this miss of Orsini kept the conspirators from throwing their grenades until it was too late; one more was thrown out of its order. De Rudio’s shell tell under the front wheels, killing the horses, the coachman and tearing out the whole side of the carriage. There was the wildest dismay. It was an attack in the dark. The Ianccis fell back, the crowd scattered, the horses plunged to the right and ■ left and confusion confounded reigned supreme. De Rudio’s design was to dash through the lancers and finish bis majesty with a dagger if the grenades failed. Orsini’s blindness prevented the ex ecution of that pait of the piot. De Rudio knew that his own life was worth nothing if he broke for tiie carriage before the third grenade was thrown. He, therefore, waited until the third explosion occurred. The delay in delivering it, and the fact that it was thrown by the fourth nmn instead ot the third, demoralised the working of the plot and gave the lancers time to rally and. surround the carriage. De Rudio saw that personal kn owledge of the Emperor’s death was impossible at that time. He withdrew from the scene. There had been several killed and any amouut of consternation created, and our conspirator was pretty well sat isfied that the object of his attack was dead. He rapidly realired that all Paris was ntarted, and before sun* At three o’clock in the morning De Rudio was arrested at his lodgings. A room-mate and fellow-conspirator, Fieri, li.til been arrested, and, upon bis relations wit li De Rudio, the lat ter was snspicioued and brought before the judge of instuctions for a preliminary hearing. The plot cov ered that ctntiogcncy, and in a few minutes De Rudio proved an alibi and was discharged. lie was subse quently rearrested, sentenced to the guillotine, and Ins sentence was only commuted on the scaffold steps. lie was then sentenced to the French penal settlement in Guinea, Africa, from which he escaped to America, where he joined the United States regular army. [Telegraph aud Messenger.] Georgia Tea and Georgia Corks. We have been presented by Mr. D. B. Lumsden, with a sample of tea and a section of cork wood raised in Talbot county. The cork is the gen uine article, fully as soft and elastic as auy to be found on the hills of Spain or Portugal, and we learn thrives and flourishes iu Georgia as well as in its native soil. A little enterprise in that direction might add another element to the wonder ful revenue producing sources of our heaven blessed common wealth. The Jen, we turned over to mater- fainilias and it was duly “ drawn” and sampled. In richness of color the best Young Hyson does not excel it. The flavor, too, is pleasant, and even superior to very many specimens of the Chinese article which conic packed in those hieroglyphic covered, dainty boxes. The appearance ot the leaves, however, whs not inviting, doubtless from the lack of the apparatus and necessary experience iu their prepar ation tor use. But it was a satisfac tion to know that along with the steaming beverage we were not im bibing poison. This tea was gathered from shrubs ten feet in altitude, and grows with as little care and alien.ion as any other fruit tree sifter it has fairly taken loot. All that is necessary is to shade the plant the first season, and with proper cultivation they will then take wire of themselves. Tea culture is rapidly extending over Georgia, and thousands of plants are annually put out from seed of native production. There is no rea son on earth why the South should not become a tea eX|>orting region, provided it will pay. Ti t a only ques tion involved is the difference in the price of labor between China and this country. In the crowded East the peasant works almost for nothing and finds himself. A little riec and a rat furnishes him a feast. But even this disadvantage, it seems, would he in a great degree counter-balanced hy the cheapness ot cur jaud. Who can Bay what Georgia, with her diversified soil and climate, is tiot capable of producing ? With Iter early peaches, sand pears, vegeta bles, rice, sugar cane, tea, clover, natural grasses, cereals, wines, olives, figs, chtifns, wool, lime, minerals, lumber, turpentine, and other mar ketable products, no people on earth could be more really affluent and independent. Why then speed i early all of our time and labor * j •»-» cotton, which barely pays the cost of production. But the people are at length begin ning to realize, the true value of the goodly heritage they possess, and a bright future is slowly dawning upon us. . ... — —»■» .. It is estimated by Mr. Varnedoc, of Thomas county, that the sand pear can be made ca-ily to produce 1,000 bushels per acre. His sold for ten dollars per bushel last year. But at a single dollar per bushel wbat Cali fornia gold mine as valuable ? EVER ONWARD. Our Flag is Sthrown to the breeze—Our MOTTo is before the People.
