THE OR?ER MEANS SIMPLY A g| DELAY IN TRANSPORTATION Telegrams Received at Camp Last Night Say* the Befiment Will Positively Go to Cuba- The report io yesterday morning’s Constitution that the Third regiment was not to go to Cuba, was a mistake, pore and simple. Tbe&will go, and at about the time originally contemplat ed, though there may a few days delay io leaving here. > * < A telegram was received by one of the head.officers at camp last night, stating that despite any -reports te the contrary, the Third regiment was sure to be one of the regiments to leave for Cuba, which was received With cheers and great enthusiasm, as all the sol> diers want to go. There was nothing in the report that there was aq organs ixation of the men who wanted to stay at home. It may be a week or ten days now before the regipient leaves Griffin, but it is ttti-l believed that it will go Witte the first expedition that leaves Savan nah for Cuba. Nothing official has been received tc the contrary, while those who understand the workings of the war- department and 'are in communication therewith are as confi dent as ever that everything goes. The following is the article which appeared in yesterday’s Constitution, whipb produced consternation among the men at Camp Nortben : The Third Georgia regiment now in camp at Griffin may not go to Cuba after all and it is practically certain that the regiment wilt not go aboard transport at’Savannah on the 12d of this month, the time originally ~MI by the war department for the departure of the troops. * ' Ao crder has been received at the department es the gulf from Washing' ton holding the prder for the trap*-* portation of the Third Georgia in war pension and postponing the time for the depaiture of the regiment from its camp. The dispatch from the war department was received by Colonel Dravo, chief comissary of the depart ment, who for the past few days has been engaged in preparing rations for the Third Georgia in presence of or ders received by Colonel Berner. Every arrangement for the transpor tation of the regiment had been com pleted and the Georgia troops were waiting patiently in camp for the or der sending them to Savannah to ar rive. The quartermaster department of • the gulf opened bids for transportation of the regiment some days ago and the contract for the movement of the troops was divided equally between the Central and Southern railroads. One half of the men were to go byway of the Central and the other half by Southern road. The dispatch of the war department was a short one and contained no in formation leading to an explanation of the sudden change of orders and the t officers of the department of tbd gulf were surprised at the turn of affairs. Col. Dravo, to whom the telegram was addressed, said that in bis opinion it was probable that the regiment was being detained for the reason that the island was not yet in a condition fcr the American army and that he be lieved the order for transportation of the regiment would come some lime near the end of this month or first of next. > . - r i •> - • Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury as mercury will surely destroy the sense smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mu cous surfaces.

BRIFFIK, BEORfIIA, FRIDAY MORNIN6, NOVEMSEB yfim. — -■— . , be had attained to a very high state Os sanctity, it was raveahM to him wbore he would find tbe Book of Mormon, which was full of revelations He dug into a hill, and auro enough there she was, a regular daisy of* a book. Gold leaves, written all over in strange char acters, which Jo/wbo was not much of a reader anyhow, could not get on to. Tbe leaves of tbe book were held together by three rings; with tbe book were two precious stones which, were the “Urim and the Thummim.” Mr Smith bad a revelation to tbe eflfcoi that if be would use the stones as spec taeles, ho could read the book Being a man of wonderful faith, be believed this and sure enough, no sooner had .be put on the specs, than the “reform ed Egyptian” in which language the book was written, was easy for Jo. Jo showed the book to a friend of hie, Sidney Rigoon Several men were found who Said they bad seen tbe gold bgok, out afterwards confessed that they lied when they said to. And Jo 4 and Sid were tbe only two people who’ ever saw this wonderful book, which alh>eo>le, save the Lattes Day Saints, regard as one of tbe most stuped “fakee” ever Attempted „tft bg.played on tbe people. € . ; Jo Smith got behiud'r anroen, tak ing tbe preciMts book with bias, put on his “Urim and. Thummim” specs, and read ajond while a fellow on the other aide the ecreqq top-down what Jp dictated. Alter -lUs.-the golden beak eqddenly vanished, and nobody ever knew what became oj. it. ..What b Smith dictated, and the other man wirpfo, is 'SCorwop jsWch is of equal author itywithowrßible. The book was subjected t 0 fidienle, and its authors to hostility, nevertheless Jo and his associates persisted in preach ing the new was a new Ameiicanizedf dhdse of Millen* nian ism, poly far dsgfadc*' below all that is known by that name.” The Millennium was about to dawn, tbe Indiana were soon l» be con ver red, de New Juruaalsrik wire to be some where in America. On April 6, 1830, tie Church of JeVus Christ of Latter WH.lwuttebpj|gp» it jpon* derful career. The opposition was so great that tbe church was moved to Kirtland, Ohio. Here Jo Smith and bis coadjutors made great progress, and many were added to the church- In 1831 a colony was established in Missouri, which a revelation told Jo was the place of “tbe City of Zion.” Hete great energy was manifested,and a spirit of morality and industry was evident far in advance of tbeir neigh bors. Mi. Smith, meanwhile, returned to Ohio, established divers industries, among others a bank. He ontinued to propogate bis doctrines* and this amid most disgraceful persecutions; he was himself tarred and feathered— but nothing daunted he preached on, and continued to win converts. Meanwhile tbe colony in Missouri flourished—it began to be rumored that Mormons were not orthodox on tbe marriage question, and though it would seem these rumors were un founded, persecution began, and res suited in the whole colony’s removal to Illinois, where it was favored by the state government, and certain val uable franchises granted it. Mean while Jo Smith’s bank in Ohio broke and proceedings were instituted for swindling, when be bad a revelation to tbe effect that be was needed out w«3t. So out west be went to find his colony which had low grown to some 15,000 in number, io trouble among themselves, but unified by tbe fierce opposition of outsiders. This was in 1838, tbe year in which they all moved to Commerce, Illinois, which name was changed in obedience to a revela tion, to Nauvoo—“beautiful city” The country began to blossom as tbe rose. Tbe organisations, civil, military, religious, was well nigh per fect. Jo bmilh was geneial of the army, mayor of tbe ’ city, and chief prophet of tbe church, everything was moving off grandly when more rumors got out about marriage—tbe doctrine of “sealing wives” awoke.* suspicion and Jo Smith and bls brother were thrown into prison ; where a mob of 200 toughs broke tbe jail and cruelly murdered Jo and bis brother Hyrum. Up to this time there ia no eiear evi dence that polygamy had ever been practiced either by Smith or any of bis followers. Tbe killing wae mur* der simple, unjustifiable. 7 [To be Contiwoed.] CASTOXIXJL.
