It will be recollected that we referred,

ever put on Mrs. Surratt. We publish

known as Woman’s rights, and a Radical

The Storm iti South-'Western
Georgia hast Friday.
Elsewhere we publish some details of
this storm, as it raged at Thomajrrillc
and QuitrnAn, and through that section.
We learn from Col. Styles, of the Albany
News, who was in this city yesterday,
that it was also very destructive in
Mitchell and Dougherty counties, blow-
I ing down trees and house*, and blowing
away open cotton. One planter in Mitch
ell county, had several bales of cotton
tliat were waiting to be picked blown
ont of his gin house, from which the top
had been lifted by the wind, and scatter
ed all over the country for miles. An
other in Dougherty who had two or three
hundn l bales in the field, waiting for
the pickers, estimates his loss at fifty
Ijahw. It was not so severe in the upper
part of Dougherty and in Leo county, a*
farther down, though an immense
amount of cotton in both those localities
was destroyed.
Col. Styles thinks that up to Friday,
Dougherty county hod three fourths of
a crop made.
We also learn from him that contrary
to statements of a different nature already
made, tho health of Albany and vicinity,
has boen, and continues better than for
tho same season in many years.
The Polaris Survivors.
With the single exception of Capt. Hall,
the coinmandor of the expedition, who
perished from disease at an early period,
every seaman and passenger connected
with it have survived the terrible hard
ships and dangers to which they were so
long exposed, after the breaking up of
their vi*ss**l.
Capt. Haddington and party were res
cued by a Dundee whaler, and are now
safe at tliat point; The Juniata, recently
sent in search of the missing crow of the
Polaris, had only sailed a few hours from
St. Johns when the intelligence was re
ceived. The United States Consul, how-
r, immediately started in pursuit in a
swift steam tug, the Cabot, and will
doubtless overhaul and arrest the voyage
of the Juniata.
One-half of tho crew of the Polaris
floated for six months at the mercy of the
en on a detached fioo of ice, subsist
ing upon the seals and water fowls they
ore able to shoot, or capture.
The remainder passed the winter in a
camp or pent house, constructed of tim
bers taken from tho wreck, und then put
to sea in canvas boats. It is this party
who have just liecn picked up.
Though the Polaris was lost through
the occurrence of a disaster which is
without precedent in mnrine mishaps, yet
It is claimed that her discoveries were of
the most important character, and that
the expedition penetrated farther North
than any that have preceded it.
Doubtless we shall have in duo season
a thrilling account of tho sufferings and
adventures of the slirvivors.
It is about time that those bootless sci
entific exjHMlitions into latitudes unin
habited and uninhabitable, had ceased.
The problems sought to lie demonstrat
ed though curious and interesting, must
forever remain mere physical facta with
out practical value to tho world—even
when definitely solved. Who cares about
on ‘open polar sea,* or the pn^eiselocation
of the North polo? Certainly, at least
the barren discovery of these long sought
for objects, will not compels to Lady
Franklin for the fate of her noble con
sort, nor for the loss of so many human
lives, to say nothing of the millions of
treasure expended in such expeditions.
ante-room at that side, and quite near
j that leading to the prison. I was given
I a chair in the aide, just inside the door,
I and so near to Mm. Surratt tliat I could
| easily have shaken hands with her over
I or through the railing. I .-at there
I two hours, sometimes touching the
railing when the crowd pressing
| at the door for entrance induced
ine to move, my chair, so that part
of the time I was not more than one foot
from her. She wore a heavy black dress,
falling on the floor around her fe^t, so
that I oouid not see them, but every time
she moved them I heard, chains clank. I
had, before that, lived fifteen years on a
farm on which was a saw mill, was
familiar with the sound of chains, and
tKk'fffferelM between that of a "wagon
and a log chain. The sound was that of
a log chain. It could not have been made
by anything but the heavy links of a
heavy chain, and that chain must have
been fastened to both her ankles. The
sounds could not have been made in any
other way. The chains on her ankles
must have been heavy enough to prevent
her lifting her feet, for she only slid them
on tho floor, one at a time, for a little
change of posture. She seemed to avoid i
moving, so as not to attract attention to
the chain, for every time they clanked she
blushed, painfully, so that 1 could see it
through the heavy crape vail she wore
over her face. I sat unt .l she was'removed.
She arose with difficulty, leaning on the
arm of the officer, who seemed to be kind
She did not lift her feet in moving to
and through tho door, but slid one at
a time, a little way, I think not furthe:
than that tho heel of tho forward foot
came on a line with the toe of the other
but all the time the links ground am
clanked. She could not move one foot an
inch without making them grind. Mm.
Suratt sat before or rather on one side of
her judges, chained with links of iron as
heavy os those of a log chain; and while
she sat thus was grossly insulted by spec
tators, men and women, or things tlmt
looked like men and women. Once she
turned pale when one of these creatures
said: “l hope they’ll hang her! Ju3t look
at her! she looks like a devil ft I could
not bear it, but spoke ou£ and said: “She
docs not look like a devil! She looks like
a good, kind-hearted woman, and you ai
a mean coward for insulting a prisoner.
A man, in reply, said to me: “ she’s
rebel," and I repeated, “Coward! cow
ard!"
Mrs. Surratt looked up and our eyes
met. Tho expression on her faco will
hiant me to the grave, and I thank God
for the look of gratitude it wore; but, as
we were getting up quite a side show, on
officer forced his way to us, to see what
tho matter was. I told him that people
were insulting tho prisoner. He made
them stand back, moved my chair to the
other side of the aisle, and set a man nt
the door, to keep order and' prevent my
holding communication with tho prisoner.
Mm. Surratt’s chains were a common sub
ject of conversation in Washington at the
time. I wrote an account, at the time,
which was published and extensively
copied and commented upon, and this
morning is the liret time I have ever
heard any denial of the fact that Mm.
Surratt was fettered os she sat wearily
through the long hours and days of that
trial. Jane G. Swisshelm.

TlieNorthern Pacific Railroad,
Which smashed Jay Cooke & Co., and
thereby set the lesser bricks to toppling, is
thus referred to in tho Herald, of Friday:
This road is intended to extend from
Lako Superior to Puget Sound, 1,800
miles, with a branch to Portland, Oregon,
200 miles. At the end of the present
year there were to be in operation from
Lake Superior to the Missouri River, 453
miles, and from Columbia River to Puget
Sound, 10G miles. The road was char
tered by Congress on the 2d of July, 1864.
Congress made a grant estimated to
amount :<• a- iv> ..f alt- mat*-
sections of land for forty, miles on each
side of the line of road. The rolling
stock of tho road consists of 72 locomo
tive engines, 16 passenger cars, six bag
gage and mail cars, four emigrant care,
25 dump, 1,130 platform freight, and 395
box care; total 1,576care.
Tho expenditure lias been:—
Surveys $ 1,091,542
Construction 12,200,600
Rolling stock 1,90S,S37
Tools, machinery and stock sup
plies 358,330
Harbor improvements at Du
luth 245,053
Total S15,S(H,374
The authorized share capital of the
company is $100,000,000. It was neces
sary to subscribe $2,000,000, and ten per
cent, jvaid in, before the organization of
the company. There is a mortgage upon
the company’s whole property, including
its lands, to secure the payment of bonds,
at the rate of $50,000 per mile. These
are seven-thirties. The Northern Pacific
owns a controlling interest in the stock of
the St. Paul and Pacific; it also has taken
a lease, or become owners, of the Lake
Superior and Mississippi railroad, extend
ing fiom St. Paul to Duluth, a distance
of 211 miles.
Jay Cooke A Co. have spent enormous
sums in advertising the bonds of the
road, and in the North and West—the
latter section especially—they have been
freely sold. Farmers, teachers, preach
ers, and persons of generally limited re
sources, have been the principal bnyers.
Colfax was a “tonter" for the road, and
has been lecturing on its great merits and
the peculiar advantages to be derived
from the purchase of the bonds.

Another Attexpt to Burn the Town.
On Wednesday morning at a quarter to
two o’clock the startling cry of fire!
routed our dtirens. On hastening to the
»c*-n** we found that <'*»♦* of the bull dings
in Bruce’s lower range was on fire. Si
multaneous with this the roof of Mr. I.
Levy’s store was discovered to be on fire,
whilst at the some time a well lighted
pile of rich lightwood under the* Enter
prise office showed that the intention of
the parties was to get up a general con
flagration. -No bundling head planned
and executed this bold attempt to lay in

covered before much headway was made,
and was soon under control.
Terrible Storm i.vThonas Covrsrr.—
One of the most violent storms that has
passed over oar county for long years,
swept our town and • section yesterday
morning. It commenced blowing a little
before 4 o’clock, and gradually increased-
in violence until about 7 o’clock, when,
with the fury of a gale, it swept houses,
trees, signs, etc., blocking up many of
the streets with the d&hcie. Tlxe splendid
building being erected by Messrs. Cobb
& Hamil, for St. Thomas Lodge, on the
corner of Brood and Fletcher streets, and
which would have been ready for the roof
next week, yielded to the storm king, and
fell with a crash about 9 o’clock, entailing
a loss on the contractors in connection
with the loan on their brick yard that will
approximate $3,000. The storm raged with
unabated fury until noon, when it gradu
ally lulled, bringing up in the northwest^
having veered around from the north
east, .where it commenced. Riding
over the town hastily yesterday evening
after the cessation of the storm, we could
only note the general ruin that met the
eye everywhere. The kitchen of Rev.
Wm. Taylor was blown down and one
woman (colored) killed in it, two small
children narrowly escaping. The large
dining hall at the Fair grounds is a mass
of ruins. The ladies’ reception room is
partially destroyed, whilst much of the
enclosure is blown down. The stables on
Mr. J. L. Finn’s lot are flat on the
ground, and we understand that Master
Willie Finn made a narrow escape from
the falling ruins. We noticed the tin
roofing on Mrs. Hayne’s residence on
Broad street, curled up in all kinds of
fantastic shapes. The “ West End
House" lost a chimney. In fact there
is hardly* a house and lot in town that
has not suffered more or less. We do
not think that an over-estimate is made
when we say that the losses of the town
will foot up $10,000. But the most pain
ful part is the loss of life. As stated, a
negro woman was killed in tho falling
building on Mr. Taylor’s lot. It is also
reported that a negro was killed out at
Maj. Taylor’s place, and also a pair of
males. There is no donbt that considerable
loss of life has token place, whilst many
narrow escapes have been made. An im
mense tree blew down across a building
on Mr. Kendrick’s place some three miles
from town, in which • were sir persons.
It lodged on a large bed under which
three of them had taken refuge, none of
them were injured. Business was almost
entirely suapenbed during the whole of
yesterday. Wo liave had no reports from
the country but tho loss will doubtless
prove heavy. It is thought by competent
judges that the storm will cut tho cotton
crop of the county short, 1000 bales. The
wires were down all day so that we could
get no reports by telegraph. Tho train
from Albany reported the storm as dweep-
in<* everything in its path. Wo expect
to hear of serious disastcre in the next
few days, from along the track of the
storm. *

They know the imperious necessity under

A military company turned out to re

loaded with stocks, besides which North- ■
lern Pacifies seem like five-twenties or
British consols. It is a good time to,
stand from under. But it fa our duty to:
look further ahead and further back than
from the rising to the going down of the
sun. There is a strong party in this
country who believe that our financial
system, based as it is on nothing but the
Government’s suspended paper, fa a
safe and salutary one. The events which
are new happening from day to day
ought to undeceive such people. Expe
rience teaches but one lesson on this
question of the currency—that no money
consisting of paper not convertible on
demand into the actual quantities of gold
or silver represented on its face can be
safe or permanent. ^France reaped a
speedy harvest of-ruin from her assignats.
England suffered perhaps greater se
verity of punishment for attempting
the same experiment that we are
trying — undertaking to make
redeemable paper a permanent stan
dard of value. Her experience ex
tended over forty years, and not until the
great panics which culminated in 1837
was the old paper system fidly uprooted.
Raging with the fever of speculation,
prostrated by the inevitable reaction,
from the close of tli<* great wars with
Napoleon in 1815 to the grand downfall
of 1837, she led the life of a gambler. Is
our hfatpry to furnish a simple repetition
of England's blunders ? Are we to learn
nothing from the experience of our own
fathers and grandfathers and of every
civilised nation that has tried and failed
in the same experiment?
Our currency is depreciated. The pre
mium on gold, the increased cost of living,
and the complete withdrawal of coin from
circulation, afford sufficient proof of that.
It fa depreciated because too much has
been issued. To add pto the volume •'will
only depreciate it the more: "Wh^n green
backs were made a legal tender and prices
began to rise, the debtors of the country
found that their debts could be settled
for much less value than they originally
received from the creditor. Speculations
were t’rifa' encouraged and an era of reck
less borrowing was inaugurated. The
furor of gambling spread on every side.
The morals of thousands of men in
business became contaminated. We
sowed the "wind, and we now - reap
the whirlwind. The insidious disease
which, for ten yeara and more, has
been poisoning the blood of the nation
now shows its horrid work to the light of
day and tho eyes of the world. Faith
lessness to their trusts in officers of Gov
ernment, from the highest to’ the lowest,
and in custodians of private funds; ra
pacity and unscrupulousncss of corpora
tions ; cowardice and venality of those
who should bo the guardians of the honest
and simple—^these have at last worked
out their inevitable result. The indigna
tion of the public is roused. The con
fidence of the public fa gone.
What the Old Commodore
Thinks About it,
A Herald reporter cornered Commo
dore Vanderbilt after ’the* 1 suspension
of Jay Cooke & Co., was announced in
New York city, and here is the result:
Commodore fciv* ng one of his keen
glances over hfa spectacles and speaking
deliberately)—I’ll tell you what’s the
matter—people undertake to do about
four times as much business aa they can
legitimately undertake. Of course, they
soon get short and have to bolster up
their business as well as they can by
robbing Peter to pay Paul. If people
will carry on business in this mad-cap
manner they must run a-rnuck.
the commodore on railroads.
There are a great many worthless
railroads started in this country without
any means to carry them through. Re
spectable banking houses in New York,
so-called, make themselves agents for the
sale of the bonds of the railroads in ques
tion and give a kind of moral guarantee
of their*genuineness. The bonds soon
reach Europe and the markets of the
commercial centres from the character of
the endorsers, are soon flooded with them.
Now mark the^equence. . The rood gets,
into difficulties and bad language fa heard

did not see he had the power to do more
than buy bonds, and all five-twenties

“red tape.” “The Government," the Sec-
retary adds, “is not a trust company or

will do any thing within the law but in no

The Rash on the Savings Banks.
New York, September 22.—When the
doors of the Irving Savings Bank, 96
Warren street, were opened this morning
a.crowd of depositors rushed in, clamor
ing for their money. Tho paying teller
immediately set to work and commenced
to satisfy their demands. When the ma
jority, however, saw how willingly the
money was being paid, they became
quieted and left. Up to two o’clock the
bank had paid out about $10,000, and had
received a considerable amount in depos
its. At present the excitement has com
pletely subsided.
At tho Broadway Savings bank, No. 4
Park Place, business was being transact
ed as usual, little or no excitement pre
vailing. Amount paid up to 2 o'clock
did not exceed $10,000, while a propor
tionate amount had been received. The
bank officials do not anticipate a run.
Shortly after the Bowery Savings Bank
opened its door this morning, a large
number of depositors began arriving, and
it soon became evident that there was
going to be a run. The trustees met and
decided to pay all demands, as they did
not believe that the run would last. One of
the trustees stated that nearly all of the
depositors drawing out their money were
those having small accounts. The trus
tees say tliat they have one-half million
dollars in Government bonds, and about
two million in New York and one million
in Brooklyn, which they could draw on
immediately. However, if the run lasts,
they will take advantage of the thirty
days* notice clause in their by-laws; but
will, even then, pay ont sums of two hun
dred or three hundred dollars, so as to
save their depositors from any inconve
nience.
The Union Dime Savings Bank, Canal
street, fa besieged by a vast throng.
About two hundred are inside. The doors
are closed and a placard in the window
announces that as many persons are in as
can 1>? paid off to-day. The bank is am
ply able to meet a run, having on hand
$1,500,000 in cash. They will sell to-day
$500,000 of bonds, the proceeds going to
reinforce their cash for to-morrow’s run.
They are not exacting the sixty day priv
ilege accorded by its laws. There are
90,000 depositors with this institution.
The New York Savings Bank, Sixth av
enue, has a run of 100, all the checks be
ing promptly cashed.
The Greenwich has a slight run which
is promptly met.
The Bleeker fa paying all checks upon
presentation. A long line fa in attend
ance.
The Atlantic fa paying all checks of
$100 and les - upon presentation. Checks
| of great amounts are required to abide
by the sixty day by-law.
Chicago, September 22.—There fa a
considerable run upon some banks here
to-day, but they are adhering to the res
olution adopted yesterday, to fall back
upon the thirty and sixty day rule, and
are only paying sums of less than one
hundred dollars. The largest assemblage
appears to be gathered at the State
Savings institution, but, so far, the crowd
has been very quiet and orderly. The
latest reports, published and private,
from New York, appear to have had the
effect to lessen the anxiety.
Xffairs on Wall Street.
New York, September 22.—The feel
ing among all classes fa one of great re
lief. No runs have been made on any of
the National or State banks, and the
crowds on Wall street are mainly curious
spectators. There fa considerable in
quiry for stocks on the street, investors,
with greenbacks in hand, seeking to pur
chase, but the prohibition of the Stock
Exchange precludes transactions. No
meeting of the Jay Cooke creditors will
be held until full statements have been
received from the various branch offices
throughout the country. These are now
being prepared with the utmost dispatch.
The firm cannot, at present, say anything
about the much-talked-of legal reserve
^furnishing a part of the money to go to
the Assistant Treasurer at New York.
The Treasury Department denies that
the Navy account fund has been trans
ferred from Jay Cooke, McCullough & Co.
Wall Street Itself Again.
The run on Washington Savings bunks
to-day was comparatively very slight.
Secretary Rieiiardson received the fol
lowing dispatch, dated New York, to-day:
“ Mercantile business progresses as usual.
Wall street is already itself and the peo
ple join in congratulations to the Presi
dent and Secretary Richardson for their
stability. The Stock Exchange will be

Jay Cooke 9 McCullough & Co,
London, 5 f. m., September 22.—Much
anxiety is manifested on all sides to hear
further news from New York. Jay
Cooke, McCullough A Co. continuo to pay
cash in the usual manner over their
counter. Among the rumors current in
the Stock Exchange fa one that the Bank
of England lias $300,000 of Jay Cooke A

childs have $100,000 of the same paper.

The Latest from the Panic.
Nkw York, September 22.—The Ex
press says: “After all but one bank has
suspended, and two trust companies.
The officers of the savings banks, both
here and at Washington, as it turns out,
were much more scared than hurt, and.
indeed, half the panic has been scare.’
It is understood that the Loan Com
mittee of the Clearing-house have fasued
$5,000,000 in loan certificates, and the
banks only required half that amount in
to-day’s business.
The talk on the street to-day fa deci
dedly more cheerful. Every one seems
to sustain the action of the President and
Secretary of the Treasury yesterday.
It fa generally believed that had tho
President yielded to the clamor that be
set him yesterday, he would have made
a * grave mistake, and the panic would
have been nationalized, instead of bein;
concentrated within narrow limits.
The Latest from Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, September 22.—The
normal condition of finances is rapidly
improving in this city. Concerning the
several State banks that have suspended,
it is said that all are thoroughly solvent,
but experienced some annoyance from a
scarcity of currency. They aseribe their
trouble to the refusal of all the national
banks to accept their checks, thus throw
ing them upon their own resources. Sev
eral are expected to resume business to
morrow.
The total amount of bonds bought at
the tmb-treasury was three and one-third
millions.
