A dispatch says a most remarkable religious craze has seized the negroes near Bessemer and the country intermediate between that rap idly-growing place and Birmingham. For some time past an old negro named Tobias Jackson proclaiming himself as Daniel the prophet and doing all kinds of wild singular, and queer things. The dar kies in this section are ignorant and su perstitious and Jackson’s actions and j the great powers with which he claimed to have been invested awed the simple minded negroes. Saturday last he persuaded three young negro men that they were repre sentatives of Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego, the three Hebrew children of Faith, who entered the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar of old. He claimed that the furnace where iron is melted and cast into all kinds of forms was the furnace of Nebuchadnezzar, and that they could enter it and pass though without the smell of fire. The three ne groes calling themselves the three chil dren of Israel, under the influence of j their new prophet, deliberately entered J the gate of the cupola of the furnace and i rushed headlong into the white heat of the melting iron. I When they failed , to come out Jackson _ _ ! the prophet proclaimed that he saw them rising in the air with the smoke of the furnace, attended by angels, and j said that they would revisit the earth next Sunday. The negroes propose to I . meet at a church next Sunday and pray, ££££*•££££.££ them said, when asked about the mat tor. ‘I feel jes as sho my boy is in heben if I’d done beed dar an’ seed him. “Jackson, de prohet, comman’ him to walk de fiery furnace an’ he bleedged to ’bey him;” Eli Pickett, a negro living in Bartow County, was wounded seriously, while fighting in the ranks of the* confederate army, It is said that he made a faith ful soldier and fought bravely until dis abled by a wound in the head. Now his white friends are applying for a pen sion for him, under the state law grant ing pension, to wounded confederate soldiers. V •>' < Judge Nisbet decided that as the Con- ! stitution of the Confederate states did i not authorize the enlistment of negroes, picket could never have legally become a confederate soldier consequently he has no rights as such. This may be the law in the case but if a negro was per mitted to enlist, and he proved to be a faithfu l and gallant soldier and a good citizen since the war? which is stated to bejthe case with Eli Picket, the legal tech nicalities should be brushed aside and a ; p whether eng j ou a |l 0 applicant wed. justice is Justice j the be white or black, The legislature can and should remove the disabilities and grant the pension of the facts prove to be as stated.

The Jour nal man had the pleasure of|| a visit to their camps just beyond the Vaiiety Works Wednesday, and found Capt H. j S. Duval, the engineer delighted with his survey. It runs through a splendid section its entire length, embracing tim- j ^ )er i aIK D unsurpassed any where, besides their pnuluctiveneM. Scarcely rrny ob structions were encountered and the sur ve y was brought through in a gallop, Are- j markable fact is, that the survey goes down all the way from Florida to a point opposite Leary. From there to Dawson it rises again. It is very hilly from starling point in Florida, the high est being SOW feet above the gulf level, After striking the level lands in Georgia, the rise is then gradual to Dawson, which is only one mile west of a due south 4 ne to Midway, which is ten miles east of Q uincy> Th , eW , ttralof w, h. o«r ry,of u»w«ju. t..be juiis. of the r« taola Circuit, to W pretty gen eral satisfaction. Vol. 1. No. 6. Pries 9 m DdUra Year. RATHER SNAKY. The following story is rather snaky but as the Wichita (Kas) Journal pub lishes it as coming from a reliable source we will give the readers of the News the benefit of the doubt. Mr, Sawyer, with his wife and little girl, about two years of age, moved to Oklahoma from Stella. Neb., when the regular influx took place. Some months before leaving their home Mrs. Sawyer was almost frightened to death one morning to find coiled up in her baby’s col a huge blacksnake. She was afraid to kill the snake and too badly fright ened to pick up the baby, who by this time was awake and in a sweet, inno cent way, was patting the ugly reptile on the head and crowing with babyish delight at her pretty plaything. Mrs. Sawyer was surprised to no tice that the snake, instead of resenting the advances of the child, seemed to en joy them, and as the baby continued the reptile made some soft, purring noise, not unlike a cat. She however watched both and backed to the door, when she screamed out for her husband, who at once heard her and rushed into the room. He saw the situation, and proceeded to snatch the child away from the snake, which at once crawl ed out of the cot. Mr. Sawyer was an* ou3to ^ what the ,„ lng would do , and hesitated a few moments to kill the idtruder, which meanwhile had crawled back into the cot, manifesting no signs of fear and apparently looking for the baby. Time went on. Tiie snake was not ««-. !-* «*. became a pet with the family, and when the more fcoOftloma was made, it aecorix panied the crowd in a box made especially for its benefit. The curious part of the story follows; A few days ago Mrs. Sawyer was sitting in front of the house sewing when sho was distui bed by something tugging at the bottom of her dress. She looked down, and there was the snake with the hem of her garment in his mouth, re treating toward the rear of the tent. Mrs. Sawyer tried to shake it off, but was unable to do so, and becoming alarmed and thinking the reptile meant harm, she rushed to the rear of the lot where she supposed her husband to be v He, however, was not there, but on hearing a cry she rushed to a pit about twelve feet deep, dug as a depository for sewerage. She looked down and saw her liUle girl there, having fallen in while at play. The little girl was taken out unharmed and now the snai^e is a greater pet than ever in the family, as both Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer firmly believe that the sagacioua reptile had instinct enough to tell them that the litttle one was in “J* had taken the means described to i Jtvt> the child’s parents of the accident that had happened to their little one. Mr Sawyer i, a reliable gentlemen Whether the atfair was a coincidence or wonderful exhibition of snake sense he can’t say. • ♦ The negroes of Libity county; seem to to have tired of the white man’s Jesus Christ, and have started up a little “Di vinity” factory of their own. Every day or two, they come to the front with a bran new Christ or a new prophet ot some sort, as black as a stack of black cats, the latest is called the Virgin Mary she is along lanky negro and at her feet the poor deluded darkey sincerely kneel, and plea,la tor aalvati.m, full of faith in her pretended ability to gi ant it Turn him loose to himself and he will drift back into Hoodooism in spite of fate and high water. If the chistian whites ever expect to christianize the negro and keep him so they will have to improve upon their present method of giving him a license to go out and build churches and run the thing to suit him self, Savaunah's new hotel, the De Soto, will be, it is said, a large commodious, madtrii equipjHsl hotel, operated HO cording to the requirements of the pres ent day. This is good news; the old Forest City has suffered for suoa a uq.. tel for lo these many years.
