WAS IT MAGNETISM.
Ttttrait
It has been asserted that Dan Ver
non was the boldest and most cruel
bushwhacker in Virginia during the
war. When Gen. Sheridan entered the
Shenandoah Valley some oF our fora
gers ransacked the house occupied by
Mrs. Vernon, others stole all the poul
try and live stock, and when the third
set came along there was a tragedy.
Dan was in the Confederate ranks up
the Valley, and his wife and four chil
dren were left in a bad situation. They
had no food In the house when hungry
foragers demanded a meal, and not a
live thing had been left on the farm.
The woman, despairing and desperate,
made a fierce personal attack on the
men who had entered her bouse, and in
the struggle a gun was discharged and
the heavy ounce ball killed two of her
children as they clung to her skirts.
The foragers were no better than
thieves in this instance, and had the
ollicial attempt to discover their identi
fy been sucCWtsful they would have re
ceived just punishment. Acts that
should forever curse tm* fierpetrators
were of.en committed by foragers un
known to officials in authority, and this
was one of them.
The woman left the murdered chil
dren on the f.oor and (led with the
others up the valley, and her footsteps
had scarcely grown cold when the
avenger of Iter wrongs appeared and
demanded blood for. blood—and more.
Dan Vernon was permitted to leave the
ranks to become a destroying angel.
The children were buried under a cherry
tree in the yard by our men, but no
hand wiped up the dark and terrible
nlood stains on the farm-house floor.
The husband and father, panting for
vengeance, crept into the deserted
hou e e three nights after the burial, and
lipping his fingers into the undried
blood, lie swore to rest not, but to kill
and destroy as long as life was left him.
I do not know what Dan Vernon w-as
when 1 e left his home to become a Con
federate soldier, but I do know that
when he returned to it as an avenger
he bad no more merev in bis heart than
a tiger. We beard from him at once.
A scouting parting riding up the Val
ley lost its captain and two men by
successive shots from a Henry rifle, and
the min who fire 1 on them escaped
through the woods. That night a vi
leite was struck from bis horse and his
throat cut. Next day a teamster was
tilled. In one week's time Dan Ver
non had killed thirteen men. lie left
no wounded behind him. When he
rired it was with deadly aim. and tlte
victim went down with scarcely a cry
from his lips.
A refugee who came in, gave us such
details of Dan as we did not know,
and when it was known that he was
bushwhacking our advance scouts were
detailed to hunt him down. They pur
sued him in vain. Knowing every acre
of ground in the Valley, he not only
eluded pursuit, but many of the men
pursuing him never came back to us.
If their bo ties were found, a bullet
hole was proof that Dan Vernon had
added another victim to his list. In
four weeks’ time he had scored thirtv
fonr victims, and foraging and scouting
parties dreaded that one man more
than a whole regiment of Early's army.
He would murder a picket at one point
luring the night, and next day bush
whack a troop ten miles away, and he
moved with the stealth of a tiger. No
man ever gave an alarm after knowing
of his presence.
Well, what I set out to tell was how
we captured Dan one fine day, and how
singularly lie escaped. Parties were
continually hunting him without suc
cess, while our party one day found
him without searching. About fifty of
us were thrown forward one day from
the picket post to anew position just
deserted by the enemy. Included in
this new territory was a log-house, sup
posed to be deserted, but when we
came to investigate we discovered a
“ butternut ” curled op nod asleep on
a rude bed in a corner. He ba l gone
to sleep within the Confederate lines,
and when he awoke the blue-coats were
about and beyond him.
Who the prisoner was no one seemed
to care, but it was the accepted opin
ion that lie was no more than a private
soldier, and I was detailed to guard
him until he could be sent hack to head
quarters. The man betrayed no alarm
when roused from sleep. As far as we
could see he was unarmed, and when
the boys joked him on his capture he
coolly replied :
“ Well, it ain't nothing to weep over,
I was gifting purtv tired of this thing,
anyhow.”
I had a fair look at the man’s face,
and I found something there to puzzle
and startle me. One day I had picked
up iu the camp the pfeture of a man
dressed in citizen’s clothes. It seemed
to he that of a farmer, but the face was
one to he remembered. As I sat in the
open door of the ohl house, carbine
across my knees, and looked into the
face of our prisoner, it came to me all
at once that it was his face I bad seen
ii the picture. There was a great
telutufl’* in <*<iuv> particular lint vet f
confidently inquired s
“ Yon have votfr picture taken by
“ Yes,” he replied.
“ Was the case of red morocco ?”
“ It was."
Then the picture I bail found in camp
must have been stolen from his house
by foragers and afterwards thrown
away. The man looked at me as if
ready to answer further questions, but
1 had none to put just then. I wfiis
wondering at the curious coincidence,
when he sat up on his lied, looked me
square in the eye, an 1 said :
'• I am Dan Vernon, the bushwhack
er. and I killed one of your men last
night before turning in here !”
“ Dan Vernon !’’ I repeated after him,
Yes, It is a good joke on your
comrades, who took me for a scrub sol
dier.”
I was so taken hr surprise that I
could not utter a word. He was as cool
as ice, however, and lie continued :
“ It would give Sheridan great joy to
string me u)) or see me shot, but my
time isn't come yet. I shall be going
pretty soon! ’
Now. that was pretty cool talk, con
sidering that I was there to guard him
and bad my carbine ready for a shot,
with fifty comrades within bail, but lie
went on :
“ I have my rifie under the straw,
and could have shot you long ago. I
didn't want to, however. I feel good
"natured this morning, and you need
fear no harm.”
“One cry from me will alarm the
whole post," I managed to remark.
“ Foolt! Let's hear you yell out
once !'*
Our eyes met. There was nothing
malicious in his, hut they put a strange
spell on me. His voice, too, had a
strange, tender influence, and when ho
asked me to toss him mv canteen of
water and haversack of food 1 obeyed
without the least hesitation. Ile drank
from the canteen, and as he chewed
away at the food lie remarked ;
“ This is pretty good fare for a liun
gry man. As 1 can’t stay here to eat
t all I shall beg the favor of carrying
the rest with me.”
He was looking into my eyes, and I
could not force my lips to utter u word
of objection.
“ I hear that Sheridan has offered a
reward for me, but no one will ever
earn it.” he said, ns he drank again.
He was not fifteen feet from my car
bine, and I was thinking how surely I
could hit him, when our eyes met and
he said :
“No use trying! If you want to
shoot me blazo away, but I tell you y'ou
can’t hit me.”
We looked at each other for half a
minute, and I felt my carbine slipping
from my grasp to the ground outside.
My fingers had no strength to hold it.
Dan laughed iu a dry way and said :
“ Why don’t you shoot ?”
“ Y'ou shall never leave this place
alive !” I said in answer, but I hardly
recognized my own voice.
“ Pooh ! ’ lie carelessly replied, “ I
am ready to leave now? I shall go out
of this other door here, and you will
sit right where you are !”
I was looking full at him, and to
save my life I couldn’t move hand or
foot. Each limb felt as numb as if
asleep.
“ Well, old boy, good bye to you,”
said I)an as lie picked up his ritle from
the straw, and in another minute he
was out of sight. I was sitting there,
mouth open and eyes fixed on vacancy
when a comrade came down from the
picket-post, shook me by 7 the shoulder
and cried out:
“ A nice man you are, fast asleep
and your prisoner gone 1”
Was I asleep? No! Was it a
dream ? No! But the prisoner was
gone. There was talk of a court-mar
tial iu my case, but it never occurred,
as the prisoner was supposed to he
only some common '’.johnny Reb.”
Hat! it been known that rnv man was
the famous bushwhacker I should have
been taken out and shot for permitting
him to escape. I permitted him, and
yet I didn’t. I was as helpless as if
without power or muscle. That night
when he crept in on a picket and stab
bed him to the heart I wondered if the
poor victim first saw those strange, wild?
magnetic eyes glaring into his to de
prive him of even power to ask for
mercy.
How to Cook a Husband.
The first tiling to be done is to catch
him. Haviugdone so, the mode of cook
ing him so as to make a good dish is as
follows : Many a good husband is spoil
ed in the cooking. Some women keep
them constantly in hot water, while oth
ers freeze them with conjugal coldness ;
some smother them with hatred and con
tention, and still others keep them in
pickle all their lives. These women al
ways serve them up with tongue sauce.
Now, it is not to be supposed that hus
bands will be tender and good if treated
this way, hut they are, on the contrary,
very delicious when managed as follows:
HARTWELL, GA., WEDNESDAY APRIL IG, 1879.

Dress Neutly for the Children's Sake.
Growing children are very critical of
mother's appearance, little as they snv
about it. Nobohy likes better than they
to see their mother look pretty For the
children’s sake it is worth while to brush
up the old jewelry you allow to lie idle
in its locked up box. It is worth while
to spend an afternoon fixing up a box
full of ruffles and collars, which are so
easily manufactured out of odds and
ends you allow to he wasted, and then do
them up in the neatest manner.
When your hardest work is over and
the dinner dishes fairly cleared away,
i treat yourself to a fresh dress with a
neat collar or ruche, uud your best pin
lat the throat. A knot of bright riblsui
gives an added charm, and will please
the children as well as yourself. A
wide, clean apron will protect your dress
when you go about your supper, and can
belaid off when you sit down to tea.
Hoys will not stay about the house very
much at evening if mother sits down at
night in her soiled morning gown, with
her hair rough and untidy. A iiretfihg,
complaining way is very apttogo along
with that style, and there is hardly any
thing besides intemperance that can
make a home seem more unpleasant.
“Just Heard the News.’*— Au Indig
nant Countryman.
llauhntviUt Viipetch.
A countryman arrived in Iluwkins
ville a day or two ago with his pockets
and a small sack full of Mexican dol
lars, which he stated were buried by
himself more than thirty years ago.
Having learned a few days ago that the
coins had depreciated t<> eighty rents on
the dollar, lie decided to unearth his
treasure, carry it to town and try to dis
pose of it. When he arrived in town he
endeavored to dispose of the coins at the
rate of one hundred cents on the dollar,
and upon being refused that price for
them, he stated that they cost him one
hundred cents about thirty years ago,
and seemed loth to give them up for less
than that slim. Upon being refused
two dollars worth of goods for a couple
of coins, lie sai'li " Ain’t I played thun
der burying money." He made inqui
ries in regard to ifie price of gold, and
when assured that a gold dollar would
always be worth one hundred cents, he
said, “ I dunlin, I thought the same
thing about Mexican dollars, but now
the (i—n things have hn’sted.” The
coins exhibited by the indignant coun
tryman were mouldy, and he stated they
“ had just been dug up.”
How a Dakota Judge Keeps Order.
Yankton Prtttt and Dakotian.
Mr. Webster’s attorney (risingand ad
dressing the attorney for the other side)
—“ I call you a coward and a liar.”
The Court —“ Sit down, sir!"
Mr. Webster’s attorney —“ lie is a
coward and a liar."
The Court —“If you don't sit down
and he quiet you will he sorry.”
Mr. Webster's attorney —“ He is—.”
In the subsequent proceedings the
Court took a baud. It swiftly glided
from its seat and plaied its powerful
gra>p upon the coat collar of the attor
ney for Mr. Webster. There was a mo
mentary void in the undeistanding ot
that gentleman. The morning stars be
gan to sing together in his ears and danc
ed before his confused vision. Then he
found himself outside of the building
without any hat and the dusty zephyrs
playing through his mustache. Parties
present in the room as innocent specta
tors aver that die feet of the attorney
for Mr. Webster did not touch the floor
after the muscles of the hand of the
Court had contracted upon his collar.
“ A Good Thing In a Muddy Place.”
Sorthville Record..
William Fossctt, of St. Johns, Mich,,
visited Northville last week for the first
time in over twenty years. Mr. Fossett
was one of the pioneers of Northville.
More than forty years ago lie came to
this place and hired out to Oupt. William
Dunlap to work on his farm. He was
then quite a young man. He continued
to work for Mr. Dunlap eight years,
With the money saved from his wages
he purchased a farm in the newlv settled
portion of the State, and is now the
owner of a valuable improved farm in
Clinton County, a few miles from St.
Johns, and is in independent circum
stances.
For the first time in his life Mr. Fos
sett saw the inside of a railway coach
last week, and rode from St. Johns to
Northville by the rail. When asked
what he thought of that Way of travel
ing he said' he thought it was a pretty

WHOLE NO. 137.
How Boggs Itan for Office.
Hoggs was a.* peaceable u man atrever
lived
He was sober, hottest and respected.
He hud never pounded Ida wife.
Never took any interest in a dogfight.
Had never been known to pawn some
body else’s watch.-
And uevef bad attempted to steal n
sa\' -mill.
Hoggs’ character was beyond reproach.
He was a shining light in society,
AH Hoggsville looked up to and hon
ored him.
Hut a change came, a fearful, direful
change.
In an evil hour Hoggs accepted the
nomination for constable of his native
village.
Alas ! poor Bogga !
Ilis eyes wore soon opened, however.
In less than a week after he was nom
inated the opposition had fully and con
clusively established the following ('{am
aging charges against his elm meter :
1. That he was a free-lover and an
infidel.
2. That he bad fed bis neighbor’s liens
on poisoned corn.
3. That he bad broken bis mother-in
law’sjnw bone with an iron boot-jack.
| 4. That bo bad on one occasion gave
a whole wagon load of watermelons to
an orphan asylum.
6. That he had served a term in the
■State Prison for horse stealing.
0. That lie had set fire to his next
door neighbor’s barn* merely because ho
refused to lend him it hoe.
7. That because be found a button off
Ms shirt, be tied bis wife to the bed post
and mashed in three of her ribs with a
stove poker.
8. That his chief Sunday amusements
were eoek fighting and card-playing.
9. That he sold his Vote every year
regularly to the highest bidder.
10. That lie wasn't fit for the place,
nnvhow.
These charges, althnftgl) without the
slightest foundation, were rigorously be
lieved bv a majority of the voters of
Hoggsville.
And Hoggs' political gnoee was cook
ed.
His chances for being elected were
not worth three cents iii the dollar.
W hen Boggs passed along the street
his neighbors looked at him with suspi
cion and crossed over on the other side.
Boggs was a miserable being.
The day of town meeting came on nt
last, and Hoags' opponent scooped in the
cnnstuhleship by a two-thirds vote.
The anti-Boggs putty swept in their
candidate on the tidal wave of tmpulnr
itv, and poor Boggs was left perched high
up on the spike-mounted picket fence of
despair.
Hoggs will never run for office again,
not even for President.
lie says it is too great a strain on the
character.
If he can regain the esteem of his
neighbors by grubbing along in the old
wav he intends to do it, and leave office
seeking to people of cast iron reputation.
Hoggs is just coming to his senses.
Not Altogether Satisfied.
A clergyman was called upon on one
occasion to officiate at a colored wedding.
“ Wo assure yon, sub," said the gentle
manly durkey, “ (lat dis here wedding,
sail, is to he much in de fashion, sab.”
“ Very well, replied the clergyman, “ 1
will try to do everything in my powet
to gratify the wishes of the parties."
So after the dinner add dancing and
supper were over, the groom's “ best
man” called again on the minister and
Idt him n ten dollar fee. “ I hope ev
erything was as your friend desired it,”
said the urbane clergyman. “ Well,
sail, to tell de truf, Mr. (Johnson was n
ittle disapp'iilted/' answered the groom’s
man. “Why, I took my robes!” said
the inin'ster. “ Yes, sail—at wasn’t
dat.” “I adhered to the rubric iff the
church,” “ Yes, sail; dat was all right/’
“I was punctual t*nd shook hands with
the couple. What more could I do?’
“ Well, salt. Mr. Johnson kind o’ lelt
hurt, you see, 'cn’se yotl didu’t salute (lc
bride.”
The matter of the scarcity of labor is
now the absorbing question of the day in
this section. Almost every farmer you
meet is in need of more hands, and very
many say they are planting a full crop,
with the hope of getting more labor by
the cotton-chopping season. Now, this
is a great mistake that our farmers are
making, and ere long they will realize
it to their great sorrow, hut it will then
he too late, for, as all know, grass grows
in great haste, especially when guano is
used. The free use of guano and scarc
ity of labor this year, with a wet spring,
as a great many are predicting, anti our
section will he bankrupt again. Then
the lawyers will fare well and live high,
while fighting over the collection of the
guano papers. All know that lawyers’
fees must he paid, hence we conclude
that the farmers had better be on the
lookout. We have already heard of
many farmers saving that the guanos
that they are using this spring is worth
less. Get your witnesses ready.—llegis

of improvement seems to pervade every
one. New houses are rapidly going up,
and a large trade is being developed,
i Farmers have gone to work with re
newed and redoubled energy, and the
ontlnnk is truly onennraginw. The
j vompk?t4on of the BWwrton Air-Line
| lots stimulated this entire section from
Klberton, twenty miles distant, to Toe
| i-oa, t hirty -one miles distant. The fit
hire of Roys’.on is bright, as there ia
j no healthier location in N, E. Georgia.
I One mile west of here are the celebra
ted Franklin Springs, in Franklin
I county. Here are two bold springs,
I not more than ten feet apart, one
wholly impregnated With iron and the
[other with sulphur. 'Die? both par*
take of uhalybeate. For nearly half a
century parties have visited these
springs, tlie waters of which are bene
ficial in yellow jaundice, erysipelas and
other skin diseases. Mr. Holland, of
Fair Fbtv, M. C., lias been a regular
summer visitor here for the past ten
years and cair testify to the curative
power of the waters. Mr. Bonds, an
old citizen of the enmity,is the princi
pal owner, and resides there with his
family all the year round. Ho law a
number of cottages ami can comforta
bly accommodate from 100 to 125
guests. Mrs. Bonds is an old-fash ton
ed lady and superintends her own cook
ing. Her tried chicken, biscuits, bat
ter-cakes and entice are of the very
best, and would soon fatten 11am, of
the Gainesville Eagle, or old man lien
son, of the Hartwell Sun. The tem
perature nt these springs is remarka
bly coo! in the sdmpyer time, and be
tween the springs an l Hartwell, a dis
tance of ten miles, there is a difference
any hot day of from 4 to 5 degrees, tt
springs being that much cooler.
The famous Manley family reside
near the springs, Some of them now
living are about 120 years old, with
children around them nearly 100 years
old.
Six miles front Franklin Springs are
the noted Madison Springs, which, up
to 1801, was the most frequented sum
mer resort in the State. The hotel wan
burned down about that time and the.
road to Athens. 20 miles distant, so
rough that it barred tlret rebuilding of
the hotel, lleilcc, since that time it
lias not been visited by many. One
hundred years ago the list of arrivals
•it Madison Springs was published in
the Augusta and Savannah papers.
A largo influx of summer visitors
are confidently looked for this season,
and soon will the “old times” come
again to these health-giving resorts.
St. (Ir.onoE.
Rer. Henry Maid Beecher on Adam’s
Fall*
JPV#m Sermon in Plymouth Church.
“ I did not lose anything in Adam's
fall," said Mr. Beecher on Sunday
morning, “ I was not there ; I did not
lull; my will was not in him. It is
the veiy extravagance of insanity, the
metaphysics of tho lunatic asylum to
say that I had anything to do with
Adam. Let Adam take care of him
self. Hut it is said : * I)o no not in
herit the sins of our fathers?' Yes—
(hesitatingly)—but if you put a dropof
poison into Boston Bay and let it How
out through the North and South At
lantics and around the Cape of Good
Hope and up to the Bay of Bengal, I
think by that time the |xrison would he
washed out pretty thoroughly, and any
sin that I committed four thousand
years ago has by this time grown pretty
hin. That mankind, without excep
tion, are low born and low bred, that
all need to be quickened* and that too
hy a supernal power, is true ; that they
need development and education is
true; that without such development
and education man is but an animal is
true. The whole human family are
horn at zero, and they have got to go
up by successive stages socially, intel
lectually, morally and Dually spiritual
ly ; that is the problem of life, the
method of creation. Men are not born
as animals are ; between the egg and
the dove there is only the thickness of
the dove's wings, and it reaches matu
rity in a few days; a fly comes to ma
turity in a minute. Man, on the con
trary-, begins very low and progresses
but slowly. It is true that in this
state men are empty of holiness; but
I was not born any more empty of ho
liness than I was empty of arithmetic ;
I was empty of everything except my
mother's milk. My business was to
fill up, and that is everybody’s busi
ness. To say that man fell with Adam
is fumbling with a great fact; they had
mittens on when they’ dissected that,,
Suppose I send my father to the bank
with SIOO,OOO to deposit for me—a
very unlikely fact—and ho loses the
money, and ns a consequence I cannot
fulfill my obligations and am in pover
ty, it is not my fault; I did not lose
the money; and if Adam was carrying
my property in his loins and lost it, it
is not my fault and lain not responsh
ble. But men are born with intelli
gence and can choose what is right,
and can do it, and everybody is elected
or non-elected ; the man that will is
elected and the man that will not is
non-elected. The whole human family
has the power to see what is right and
what is wrong and to choose between
them, and they arc responsible for the
abuse of this power-’’
