An attempt was made night before

If is understood here that Governor
Scott has ordered tho militia, w r ho aro

Another company of United States
troop# arrived here this afternoon.—
The militia are not disbanded, nor
have they brought in their arms. The
whites are willing to retire if the mi
litia will disband and stack arms ;
much interest is felt as regards the set
tlement of the difficulties. The mili
tia are said to be some fifteen miles
west of the village.

The Alabama—A Itwnmo.
The appointment of Commissioners
on tho part of the United States and
England, to take into consideration the
claims of citizens of the United States,
growing out of seizures made hy tho
Confederate man-of-war, tho Alabama,
of Northern vessels engaged in mer
cantile pursuits during tho civil war,
once more brings before tho public the
strange history of that renowned crui
ser.
The Alabama, or moro proporly
speaking tho “No 290,’' was barque
rigged, and in all respects was about
as perfect a vessel as was ovor con
structed. Tho builder’s charge for
hull, spars, sail-boats, cable, and all
equipments, except arman «nt,was£47,
f>oo. 11 or batteries cost £2,000 ; mag
azine tanks, £016; ordnance stores,£oo;
and small arms,£6o0 —making a to
tal of $250,305.44.
At a quarter past G of tho morning
of the 20th July, 1862, the anchor
was got up for tho first time, after she
had quit her scaffolding, and the “290”
(Alabama) dropped slowly down the
Mersey, aad anchored at night in Mo
elfra Bay. But the American Minis
ter Mr. Adams, had been upon the
alert through his spies,but as nothing
positive could ho obtained with regard
j to her supposed destination and cliar-
I acter, while in process of construc
tion, legal measures had not been ro
. sorted to. But iu the absence of proof
suspicion was enough, and Mr. Adams
1 made application to the customs au
j thoritios at Liverpool to seizo the ship,
| and prevent her from going to sea
when she neared completion. The
application*-was granted by the au
thorities but it was too late to enforce
l the seizure, as tho officers of the Fouth
\ ern vessel had received au intimation
'of such proceeding from their spies,
; and iu consequence, as wo have re
| marked, she dropped quietly out from
Birkenhead and was free.
In her subsequent cruizes she cap
tured upward of sixty-four vessels be
longing to Northern merchants; and
it is to obtain tho valuo of these ships
and cargoes that England and tho
United (States, after several years of
controversy, have united iu the ap
pointment of a High Commission.
But it must bo observed that even this
High Commission, on the part of Eng
land, has no power of final and una
pellant jurisdiction and settlement;
and aftor tlioir adjournment and ro
port, the claimants may be no nearer
their remuneration than when the
question was first opened.
The United States Government claims
full amount of damages done by the
Alabama upon American commerce,
upon the principles contained in the
neutrality laws established between
tho two nations. Each government
was bound to use all diligence in case
of war wi tic other nations, to prevont
the aiming of vessels for military pur
poses in the ports of either country ;
and tho United States maintain that
England was derelict in the discharge
•of that obligation, and cites the build
ing and departure of tho Alabama from
the dockyard of Birkenhead, on the
river Mersey, opposite to Liverpool, in
proof of the accusation.
If the South had no right to contract
for tho building of a war vessel in
England, the government of Mr Lin
coln was equally debarred. England’s
defense of her course in rogard to tho
“Alabama” is, that no proff was given
of her hostile intentions, and tliero was
no law that would justify her deten
tion in the absence of such proof.
The United States insist that England
should have arrested on the simple de
mand of Mr. Adams. England re
plied that she could not do gratuitous
police work for the American minis
ters.
And England asserts, and in that
she is correct, that the Alabama,
whatever her intentions were, did not
depart from English juris liction upon
a positively warliko mission within the
meaning of tho neutrality laws. It is
well known that the Secretary of tho
American Navy Department endeav-*
ored to havo vessels built by Laird, of
Birkenhead, for tho use of the Gov
ernment, in crushing out the Southern
revolution. The Government of Mr.
Lincoln wished in particular to have a
“ship finished complete, with guns and
everything appertaining.” (See speech
of Mr. Laird, head of the Birkenhead
firm, in the House of Commons.)
The subject is a strange one, will
be strangely managed, and will end
strangely. It has been a stalking
horse for political knaves to ride.
Butlor lias mounted it, and bellowed
war against England ; General Grant
is astride of it now, and hopes that it
will help to cany him in triumph
through the election of 1872.
As wo write a cloud of threatening
pspoct looms the Commission, in which
may be forging now the great elements
for a war between England and this
country. If any man be so criminal
as to dare plunge us again into tho
bloody lists for party gain, he should,
before he accomplishes so hellish a
purpose, be hanged higher than Ha
inan. — Tomerog’s Democrat.
The Jacksonville Courier says that
tho most extensive vineyard in tho
world is now being surveyed and map
ped out by the Florida Improvement
Company of New York, on a fine plat
of ground located in Orange county,
near Mellonville. Tho vinoyard will
occupy one thousand acres of choice
ground adjoining Senator Ginn’s fine
orange orchards. A map has been
made of that section, with a street ex
tending to Lake Jessup, a distance of
four miles. Several localities were ex
amed before this selection was made,
and for health and durability it cannot
be well suspassed. Mr. E B. Johnson
of Brooklyn, N. Y., is to take ebargo
of its management, and is northward
bound, to cause the first shipment of
vines, which will consist of 10,000
Eumelan vines, and a few other var
ieties. Tho vines are from the famous
lona Vineyard.

Ilow to Destroy Cotton Worm.
Richmond, Fort Bend Cos. Texas, i
February 7, 1871 $
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : I have
made a discovery how we can destroy
the army or cotton worm, but not in
time to save more than part of three
different crops, and I enclose you tho
certified copies of what I havo doile
and I want your friends to have the
benefit of this, and all the planters in
the cotton growing States, if this
scourge comes again this fall. I have
filed my caviat in the patent oflico but
shall not ask for a patent until it comes
in genoral use, and I find that nothing
can come in competion.
To destroy the cotton or army worm
by the use of the Stramonia or tho
Jamestown weed : The weed is taken
while in full bloom, chopped up, and
a vessel filled two- thirds full boiled
for one hour or more! add a small
quantity of lime and sprinkle tho cot- I
ton. You will find it kills tho worm as '
soon as applied, will destroy tho egg,
if used in time, and poisons tho cotton
plant *o the worm will not attack lit
again You can soo that this can be
done without any expense except tho
labor of making this poison and
sprinkling tho cotton. A gentleman
by tho name of Roberia at Galveston,
has invented a machine to sprinkle
cotton. It is of much importance, us
es but n small quantity of tho solu
tion and can sprinkle somo five rows
at a time. I suppose this weed grows
spontaneously in Goorgia as well as
most of States, but I would ad
vise tho planters to cultivate as much
as they can conveniently.
You can make what use of this you
think best, and I may hear from you
soon. From an old Florida friend,
A. Bkstwicjc.
Richmond, September 4, 1870.
I have soon A. Bestwick’s remedy
used on my plantation, and find it de
stroys the cotton worm as soon as ap-'
plied, J. W. Miles
Richmond, September 20, 1870.
This is to certify that I have used
A. Bestwick’s antidote to destroy tho
cotton worm, and find it kills tho worm
as soon as applied, and I am confident
1 can save any crop from being de
stroyed by the uso of his remedy.
G. M. CATHERY*
Richmond, Soptombor 20, 1870.
I have used A. Bestwick’s remedy j
to destroy the cotton worm, and find j
that where I applied it on three rows j
of my cotton it destroyed them, and
the cotton has growh finely since that
time until picked, and I am cortain
I can save tho crop from being de
stroyed by tho uso of this remedy.

Sheriff F. Bend County, Texas.
The Savannah Republican thus de
scribes the opening of tho District
Court down there, of which Jim
Simms, the mulatto fiddler, i§ Judgo(!)
At tlio hour named, Jim took lii3 1
seat on the west end of a very large I
table in the grand jury room of the
Superior Court, which had boon placed j
at his disposal by the ordinary. On
his right sat, in solemn and satyr dig
nity and beauty, King Salomon Thom
as, black as Eiobua and loud as fish
guano. Several other darkies cau
tiously gathored about the door to see
how the thing would bo “did,” and
opened their eyes and ears as if to
catch the mysteries of tho law ss pro
mulgated by the immaculate Simms,
who sat and sat and sat, (waiting for
tho appearance of the sheriff and clerk
and the district attorney),until he “par
ty nigh took root,” no shoriff or clerk
or district attorney appeared. Jim
looked into the code, which (a bran
now volume) lay before him, then into
the recent acts of tho Legislature,
which he held before him. Having
become satisfied upon tho legal points
in tho case, he directed a yellow ne
gro to open the court, who proceeded
to tho grave task, saying, “Oh yes, oh
yes, dis honerble distrik court am now
open ; God sabo dis honerble distrik
court.”
Court being thus formally opened,
Jim again looked at the Code, at tho
acts, at King Thomas and at the dep
uty constable, and then commenced
writing, as wo afterwards learned, or
ders to the sheriff, clerk and other of
ficers to appear, produce tho jury box
on to-day, flie Bth instant, or show
cause why they should not bo attached
for contempt. The court then ad
journed, and Jim took up liis code and
his acts, and vacated the seat with a
dignity which would have graced a
Richelieu. Judge Schley had refused
to grant an injunction, to which the
bar resorted as a legal rostrainer upon
Jim Siuams. The officers, however,
having taken legal advice, will act up
on that advice, and thus bring the
matter to an issue direct.

Washington, March 12.—The Joint
Committee of the Republican caucuses
meets to-morrow at ten o’clock, to de
vise a Ku-klux bill - Whatever bill
the Committee may present Mr. Sum
mer will move to amend by his sup
plemental civil rights bill. Sumner,
in caucus, held that the loyallists in
tlio North, as well as in the South,
noeded safeguards. Thirty Republi
cans in the House aro counted upon to
act with the Democrats in opposing
such legislation.
Washington, March 12.—The per
sonal of the Committee which meets
to-morrow is as follows : On the part
of the Senate—Morten, Pool, Scott,
Edmunds and Frolinghuysen. On the
partjof the House—Butler, Shellabar
ger, Morcur, Thomas and Coburn.
The controlling idea is that tho con
stitution of the Unitod States guaran
tees safety to life, property and papers
of citizous. The power to enforee these
rights will be given to the President,
and all cognizance of offence against
them given to the Federal courts.
The Democrats will exhaust all par
liamentary tactics opposing legislation
of any kind. The Senato Republican
caucus resolved to oppose any other
than Ku-klux legislation, whoreas the
House caucus resolved to give it the
preference. A prolongation of the
session is almost certain, unless the
Democrats and Conservative Repub
licans have a majority.
Washington, March 13.— The
Claims Commission meets as soon as
apartments are prepared for them.
The forms of application are to be pre
pared at an early day.
The House and Senate are engaged
in reviving bills which expired with
last Congress. The Joint Committee
of the Republican caucuses meet again
this afternoon. The Session this
morning was quite discordant.
Paris, March 13. —Versailles has
been evacuated, and tho French in
stalled in possession. A convention
for the return of all French prisoners
in Germany has been signed. Six

suppressed. The city is quiet, with
no signs of a reaowal of tho recent

r PIIE undersigned has accepted the Agent-
A cy of the American Art Uniou for the
counties named below, as will bo soeu by the
following appointment:
Amkiuccs, Ga., March 13th, 1871.
By virtue of authority I do hereby appoint
W. F. CoMns, of Dawson, Ga., agent of the
Loe d/emoiial Assncialiou for the counties of
Terrell, Calhoun, Raker, Miller. Decatar,
Early, Clav, Randolph, Quitman and Webster,
in the 2nd Congressional district of Georgia.
He is authorized to appoint such sub-agents
as ho may deem necessary in carrying on the
work. W. M. HARDWICKS,
Agent for the 2nd Congressional District,
of the State of Georgia.
By virtue of this agency we offer to our cit
izens a splendid steel engraving of our dead
chieftain, Gen. Robt. E I.ee, said, by these
most intimately associated with him, to be the
b t likeness in existence.
In speaking of tho portrait, exsl’ecsident
Davis says : “The steel engraved likeness ot
General Lee (published by Rostwick A WitH
ter, 177 and 179 West Fourth street, Cincin
nati, O ,) which you have submitted, is the
best that ever came under mj observation.”
Also, Gen. Hood, Gen. McLiws, Gen. Young,
Gen. Weight, Gen. Walker, Gen. John O.
Brocken ridge, Gen. Chilton, Gen. H. L. Bitfi
ning and others, endoisc this work in fully as
strong terms. Mr. Bell, a well-known critic
oo art, says: “The engraving speaks for it
self, and is undoubtedly the fiuest work ol art
of the presmt century.” Also, another art
critic states: “That probably posterity will
take down its impressions of General Lee as
he stood in his Confederate uniform for this
splmdid portrait.” Tho portrait is engraved
on steel nearly as fine as bauk note work,
and life sizv, being the largest bead ever en
graved on steel in this country. The artist,
A. B. Walker, spent one year of hard labor on
the plate, and it cost the publishers S3OOO to
have it engraved. All judges of art pro*,
nounce it a “master piece" of steel engraving.
And we repeat that as a specimen aud em
bodiment of artUiic skill and merit, it is a
master-piece of steel engraving.
This work is sold only by subscription, and
those subscribing will not be required to p«y
till the pictures are delivered.
| The proceeds arising from tho sale of these
i pictures will be devoted by the Loe Meinori
! al Association to the erection of a monument
I to his memory at Aexington, Va. The Con-
I federate soldiers who have not yet forgotten
| the sound of his voice or the expression of
j his face should have one of these superb pie
tures, for the two fold rei*on of perpetuating
