The Water Fuel.
A New York correspondent of tbe
•Charleston Netcs and Courier gives this
highly Interesting account of tire new fuel
composed of naphtha and water:
The first public experiments were
made with an old locomotive at College
Point, Long Island, and were so extraor
dinary in their apparent results that -tlic
newspapermen gathered to report what
they saw dared not do more than give a
bare recital of what took place, leaving to
scientific men the task of deciding wheth
er or not the invention really had the
enormous value claimed for it, and which
it seemed to possess. I>r. Charles Hol
land, a chemist and inventor, con
ceived in 1850 the idea of using the
constituent gases of naphtha and water as
fuel. Dr. Holland is not a man of much
cducatiou outside of his special know!
edge as a chemist; he made some money
on patents for smelting furnaces, and
turned his attention to wltat he calls the
great work of his life—inventing a per
fect and inexpensive fuel. Of late years
numberless machines have been devised
to bum the carbon of oils; scientists often
say that liquid fuel is the fuel of the
future. The infinite amount of water at
our disposal (there is tcu times as mncli
liquid
FUEL IX THE WOULD
as solid) suggests at once the economy
which would be effected by the use of
these materials iu place of coal. Water,
every one knows, is composed of two
parts of hydrogen and one part of oxy
gen. Hydrogen is higlily inflammable,
and gives in burning one of the hottest
flames known. If tliere was some easy
means of separating tl>e hydrogen of wa
ter from the oxygen the problem of a
cheap fuel would be solved. This is
what Dr. Holland claims to have done,
The machine which he has invented to
bum the gases of naphtha and water is a
two-chambered, cast iron retort, shaped
like a prism and varying insize according
to the work to be done. For a retort
large enough to give heat for au ordinary
cooking stove the prism is abont eight
Inches long and five wide. Between the
two chambers and the retort there is
connection whatever.
Naphtha is carried into one chamber by
a pipe the size of a lead pencil, and water
into the other by a similar pipe. But be
fore introducing the oil and gas into the
retort the retort itself is heated by means
of a little naphtha, a spoonful of which is
burned iu a saucer or other holder be
neath the retort. When tlie retort is
heated the oil aud water are introduced
drop by drop into their respective cham
bers. The naphtha is immediately vola
tilized by the heat an'tl becomes naphtha
gas, a gas which bums brilliantly hut
g ves but little heat. This gas escapes
om its chamber in a long, tbiu flame.
The water in the other chamber becomes
in the meantime superheated steam and
issues from a nipple so arranged as to
throw a spray of steam into the naphtha
flame issuing from the other ripple.
Superheated steam has a peculiar property
of which Dr. Holland lias made use:
Proneness to separate into its elements,
hydrogen and oxygen. By introducing
this superheated steam into burning naph
tha gas a decomposition is effected, and the
hydrogen and oxygen being set free are at
liberty to unite with the elements which
have the greatest chemical affinity for
them.
Thus it is that the oxygen selects the
naphtha gas aud serves to make a com
plete combustion of the hydro-carbons
and carbo-hydrates of which this naphtha
consists. By turning naphtha ill the open
air in. the ordinary"\vay as a fuel, it is
n ible to obtain only ten per cent, of it
le shape of heat, so to speak, the oth
er 90 per cent, being wasted in the shape
of smoke, clinkers, gases, cinders and so
forth. In this apparatus of Dr. Holland’s
the supply of oxygen from the water'is so
great that every particle of the naphtha is
burned, and no smoke, cinders or gas
comes from the flame. The- hydrogen set
free from the water gets enough oxygen
from the surrounding airto bum furiously.
Now hydrogen produces four times as
much heat during combustion as the same
weight of carbon does. Therefore, not
only does Dr. Holland get the entire com
bustion of the carbon, but he gets from
bis water fourtimes as much heat as from
the
PERFECT COMBUSTION
of his carbon. The correctness of this
calculation has been verified repeatedly
by the following experiment: A gallon of
gold water in a kettle was placed over one
of Holland’s small retorts and brought to
a boiling heat in four and a half minutes;
the same amount of cold water was
placed over as hot a fire as could be made
with clean nut coal iu a small stove and
brought to a boil in twenty-one minutes,
or about five times as long as was neces
sary with the new apparatus. In the ex
periment made last month at College
Point, Dr. Holland was only allowed to
use one of the oldest engines on the Long
Island railroad; it was out of order and
was a very hard engine to fire np. The
fireman who usually ran witli it never al
lowed less than two hours to get up steam.
Dr. Holland put two of his little retorts
into the fire-box and connected them with
his tanks of naphtha and cold water. In
forty minutes after lighting up the steam
guage marked sixty pounds’pressure.
The engine then pulled a passenger car,
in which were fifty persons, a distance of
six miles and back at an average rate of
from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour.
A. K. Owen, of Chester, Pa.; J. Gar
cia, of Havana; two passengers, whose
names could not be learned, who were to
There was a chorus of admiration from arrive at St. Augustine to-day. Besides
there it was, ready at any moment, and
with no ashes or grates to clean out.
THE COST
of this wonderful fire is about twenty-one
cents a week for a stove to do the work
-of au ordinary family, no fuel or kindling
of any kind being required except the
naphtha and water. Besides cooking the
dinner at a nominal cost, Dr. Holland
makes illuminating gas of the finest
quality by introducing a separate stream
of naphtha into a third retort fastened to
the main one. The heat of the fire vola
tiles the naphtha into gas which is car
ried to a gas receiver, and may be honied
without any purifying or washing. The
fire costs nothing, and three gallons of
naptha makes about one thousand feet of
gas, at a cost, therefore, of nine cents. The
possible danger of explosion from oaplh-
tlia may prevent tlic immediate intro
duction of the retoit into private families
where ignorant servants might find too
many ways of exterminating themselves
with it. But in ail places where -steam
is required—in mills and factories and
especially in the South where coal is
scarce—this new fuel promises to work a
revolution. As yet no criticisms have
been made which question the value oi
the invention if it can he used without
danger. In a few more weeks enough
will be known-about the matter to deter
mine whether it is really one of the great
inventions of the age or not. I confess
that, while inclined to look upon it as
something too good to be true, I am
greatly impressed with what I have seen
ot it. Holland will leave Edison far be
hind in the race for fame if his retort
turns out well.
The City of Vera Cruz.
New York, September 5.—A special
from St. Augustine, Fla., reports the arri
val there from Halifax riverof seven men,
survivors of the wreck of the Vera Cruz.
One is O. K. Owen, a passenger; the oth
ers are an engineer, oiler and four sea
men. Talbot, one of the seamen, gives
tbe following account of the disaster:
About 30 miles off shore we began to
ship heavy seas and water was found in
the hold. As fast rs we could clear her
she filled again by another sea. This
state of things soon made the fires bum
low, and we could not make steam to
keep her head in the wind. We then put
out a heavy drag forward and managed
for a while to keep her into the wind.
Everything was in a panic,life-boats were
cut loose ready for action, aud all hands
supplied with life-preservers. At daylight
Sunday, boats were lowered aud manned.
They no sooner got tlieir cargo than they
were overturned ami smashed to atoms
against the steamer, all hands being
swept away or their lives dashed ont
against the vessel's side. Boat after boat
was dashed to pieces in the same manner,
until only a few of the passengcis would
venture to leave the steamer.
The captain and officers lost their lives
in one of tbe boats. At half-past five in
the morning a heavy sea struck the steam
er forward and crashed her fore and aft.
All fires and lights were out, and every
thing was iu ncrfect bedlam—tlic people
screaming am. shrieking for help on ail
sides. The steamer was broken in two,
and, after a few- surges, she foundered ami
went down, carrying with her all who
were on board.
When I rose to tlie surface I could see
now and then pieces of drift stuff, and
one or two men and women. They made
no effort to save themselves, and were
drowned in my sight. A mother and
daughter were clasped to each other dur
ing the gale and they came ashore that
way drowned.
From tliat time till fonr o'clock in the
afternoon I could see occasionally one or
two men, as they rode upon the crest of
‘the waves. It was useless to try to hold
on to anything as the waves would tear it
from your grasp and drive you two or
three fathoms uuder the surface, and
upon regaining it you would have to grasp
something else. I was compelled to dive
or dodge i way from pieces of drift-stuff,
which would have killed me if I were hit
by them. ,
After four o’clock I saw no one. I
came ashore on the Florida coast about
7:30 Monday morning, having been about
twenty-six hours in the water. I soon
found my other companions, as we all
came ashore about the same time, al
though some distance apart.
Gen. Torbert was aboard. The last
time I saw him alive he was afloat witli
Mr. Owen, who was saved with us. I
saw him again dead at Port Orange,where
he came ashore insensible. A boy fouud
him and dragged him up as far as he
could, and ran for assistance. When they
g ot hack he was dead. Bruises on his
ead indicate that he was struck by drift
stuff and stunned. His body was buried
on the farm at Dayton.
One of our number swam from the
wreck without the aid of a life-preserver.
We are all more or less bruised from the
striking and buffetiug of the seas and
driftwood. It will gratify the friends of
tlie drowned passengers aud crew to know
that letters have been fouud and thatthey
will be retained until further inquiry is
made respecting them.
Mauy trunks have come ashore and
been rifled, but it is believed all personal
property can be recovered. Word has
been received here that three more men
have been saved further south.
The following are the saved passengers,
as far as cau be learned:

taken for a complete military evacuation
ofuortheru Afghanistan and some pro
gress has been made toward the pacifica
tion and settlement of the oouutry. A
renewal of hostilities by the Afghans un

further military operations iu southern

taken by the government of India for the
relief of the garrison of Candaliar, and
the conspicuous ability and energy dis
played by my officers and troops in the
execution of those measures resulting in
the brilliant victory recently gained by the
gallant force under tlio command of Sir
Frederick Roberts, will, I trust, speedily
bring to an honorable termination the
war in that division of the countiy.
“I regret that it has not hitherto been
possible to give you such information of

During the ceremony of prorogation, of

tageous circumstances proved to them its
merits. When the engine was running
there were no sparks, uo cinders, no
smoke, no sulphurous gases. The aver
age expense of running an engine with
coal is ftom seven to twelve cents a mile.
Dr. Holland is confident that the same
work can be done in a belter manner witli
his retorts at an expense of from three to
four cents a mile. On down grades, when
no power is wanted, the fire can be com
pletely shut off by turning the valves con
trolling the oil and water pipes, or it can
be reduced or increased. Other advan
tages will suggest- themselves to any one
familiar with railroads. The absence ot
sparks alone would be worth about $2,-
000,000 to this country, that value of tim
ber and other property being annually de
stroyed by fire from engine sparks. To

• THE ABSENCE OF OAS AND CINDERS
will be a great boon, especially on tho
elevated roads of New York City where
the .annoyances from these causes are in
tolerable. Dr. Holland’s object in com
ing to New York was to induce railroads
to use his extorts. His success has been
so complete that within two weeks five
roads are to give them atrial, consequent
ly the use of the retort for stoves and
ranges in private houses has received but
little attention and is only now brought
forward when the application of the in
vention to locomotives seems to be as
sured. I went yesterday to see its appli
cation to stoves and ranges in a building
hack of the Astor House. An ordinary
kitchen stove of medium size was put in
the centre of the room, and in the fire pot
wu placed a small retort, which was con
nected witli the tanks of naptha and wa
ter. Tbe pipe conveying the oil is filled
with many layers of line wire gauze,
which prevents a too large flow of oil, al
lowing it to trickle into the retort only
drop by drop. A little oil was placed in
a tin saucer beneath, the retort, and a
match applied. In a minute the retort
was hot enough to admit the oil and wa
ter. No sooner was this done than the
inside of tho fire pot filled with allot
flame of a peculiarly clear character;
there was absolutely no smell from ‘t and
no smoke; after burning an hour the fire
bricks were as clean as before the fire
was lighted. It was hotter than any coal
fire, aud could be controlled at will by ad
mitting more or less oil and water." As
to its cooking capacity tlie oven was heat
ed sufficiently in five minutes to begin
cooking a piece of beef weighing twenty-
five pounds, which was thoroughly roast
ed in one hour and fifteen minutes.
Chickens were broiled in five minutes,
and porter house steak was done to a turn

Savannah, Sept. C.—A special to the
Morning Neics, from Jacksonville, says
six seamen and passengers from tlie
wrecked Vera Cruz reached that place
from St. Augustine on Saturday after
noon. They with four others—two sea
men and two passengers—are supposed to
be the only survivors.
They report that the cyclone struck the
steamer Saturday, forty miles this side of
Cape Canaveral, thirty miles oil the,
shore, at four o’clock. The deck load*
was washed overboard, and tbe seas
swept the deck clear. At two a. ns., Sun
day, the water reached the engine rooms
and extinguished the fires. At five a. m.,
the captain was washed overboard aud
tbe first and second males killed while
lowering the boats, and by six o’clock the
vessel foundered.
The passengers and crew were provided
with.life preservers, hut many were killed
and crushed in the wreck. The survivors
were washed ashore at Daytona and Port
Orange. Several bodies were buried.
Twelve wrecks are reported, twosteam-
ers aud ten sailing vessels, among them
tlie schooner Ada J. Simonton, from Pen
sacola to Boston, timber laden. All
saved. Twelve of the crew of a Nor
wegian bark got ashore on Saturday near
tlie St. Jolm’s bar.
Tlie coast for 100 miles is strewn with
wrecks and goods of all descriptions. The
survivors of tlie Vera Cruz leave for

AGRICULTURAL.
Letter from Geueral Browne.
EXPERIMENTS.
There are many cheering indications on
every hand that our people are becoming
awake to the value of education and ex
perience in agriculture, and that the num
ber of those who deride improvement aud
the application of science to tlie culture
of the soil, is rapidly diminishing. It is
not long ago since farmers who passed for
men of sense declared that deep plowing
is killing the laud and the stock; that sub-
soiling our heavy clay lands is utterly
worthless; that commercial fertilizers do
not pay; that clover will not grow in
Georgia, and that agricultural education
is nonsense. Now there arts very few.
whatever their practice may he, who be
lieve in the efficacy of scratching the soil
with a blunt scooter and calling it plow
ing; who do not recognize the great value
of subsoiliug clay soils; who do not ap
preciate the profit in the use of commer
cial fertilizers, and who will not
admit that in farming, like every
other pursuit, education is essential to
success. The va’ue of careful, intelli
gent and enlightened observation of all
the details of agriculture, which is called
experiment, is being rapidly appreciated
by men who laughed at these experi
ments ten or twelve years ago as “book
farming,” and who now admit that the
published results of these experiments
have contributed to farmers a mass of in
formation which teaches ns not only what
we shall do and follow, but what we
shall leave undone and avoid.
To maintain and improve the fertility
of our lands, to show how to get rid
of superfluous water; to cultivate the
land to the best advantage and in the
most economical manner; to collect and
apply the best, and most suitable manures;
to demonstrate which are the best farm
implements; to choose the best stock, and
to feed them in tho most beneficial
manner; to select the best seed, and
harvest the crops with most profit, are
among the subjects to which men of brains,
zeal and energy have devoted time, at
tention and money for the purpose of ex
periment—the discovery of truth, aud the
adaptation of the truth, when discovered,
to practical ends. These experiments
have already worked great practical good
to agriculture, and the result in the near
future will be still more marked. Their
object is to search for truth, to teach it,
and to warn against falsehood. In the
one matter of commercial fertilizers, by
exposing those that were adulterated and
worthless, and protecting the farmer
against trickery and misrepresentation,
how can we calculate the benefits which
scientific experiments have conferred upon
;he agricultural community? For these
beu. nts we are largely, if not rnginly, in
debted to tlie agricultural colleges,
where seveial series of experiments
are continually being made, in which the
light of science and actual experience are
combined. Were the legislature of Geor-
ia to endow tlie State College of Agri
culture as liberally as a distinguished
Georgian recently proposed, in ten years
tlie value of the aid which the college
would aflord in developing the resources
of tbe soil, and thus adding to the aggre
gate wealth of the State, would be vastly
".-eater than the endowment.
I hope the recommendations of Dr. W.
L. Mitcheli’s recent able address in be
half of tiie ueeds of the University on
this subject, will he carefully read and
heeded.
Before long I propose to write a few
lines in regard to the importance of ex
perimental stations.
fodder.
I have been of tlie opinion for a long
time that fodder is one of the most
expensive crops we raise. Without ex
pressing any opinion as to whether or
not, as some contend, the loss of corn by
pulling, fodder is greater than tlie value
of the fodder when pulled, it is certain
that when we take into account the slow
and tedious process of foddei pulling, the
extreme heat of the weather, the risk of
loss or injury to the fodder, etc., etc., tlie
case against fodder is very strong. Cora
that will yield twelve or thirteen bushels
ser acre will generally give about one
lundred and twenty or one hundred and
Ifty pounds of fodder. A good hand
working faithfully will pull about two
hundred pounds of fodder iu a day.
One acre of corn forage or drilled corn,
properly prepared, heavily manured, and
carefully harvested, will produce, it is es
timated, fully as much and as good rough
foo l as the fodder of oue hundred aver
age acres of corn. The difference ill cost
is manure, even if the belief be ground
less or exaggerated as to the injury to
corn from pulling fodder.
COTTON PICKING.
It happens very often that a cotton crop
which lias been planted and cultivated
with energy, judgment and care, is gath
ered in a careless and slovenly manner,
with material damage to the value of the
product of our year’s labor. Prompt,
clean picking and good ginning will al
ways pay handsomely, even though they
may take more time than the “fast pick,
ing,” by which hulls, trash, leaves, etc.,
are gathered with the cotton and ginned
witli it, to the depreciation of the staple
and its market value.
The difference in the price paid for clean
cotton as compared with “ trash ” cotton
often amounts to one and a half to two
cents a pound. Cottou gathered damp
should be sunned and aired before it is
put away in larger quantities.
EVE, BARLEV AND OATS.
This is the montli to prepare and sow
rye, barley and oats. Let every farmer
in Georgia remember it.

Jackson, Colonel Anderson, Captain Rob
ert Falligant, and the Russels, declare

.No-Axe ?
In the early history of the States there
epped upon the records of her history a
boy with a little hatchet—a hatchet that
didn’t need any grinding, for it was very
sharp. With it he cut his father’s cherry-
tree, and owned it to his faee. He was
for this frank avowal transmitted to pos
terity as a bright example for emulation.
The scene changes. Another footfall
upon the boards of the theatre, auother
lad rushes frantically in upon an unsus
pecting audience with tlie cry of “No-
Axe.” The murmur goes around: Who
accuses you of it?—tell us who accuses
you of being tlie bearer of an axe, or a
“little hatcliet?” Was it Mr. Conscience
that accused you—or who? It certainly
isn’t true that you have a little axe hid
about your person, because it would be
tlie cherry tree you would attack, and not
the genus Norwood ?
It can’t be that the first wails of the
“political infant” “No-Axe,” in which he
addresses conservatively the conserva
tives—are to be turned into the rabid ac
cusation of “stealing” against Norwood,
who stands endorsed -by Alex. Stephens
and Thomas F. Bayard.
It will now be in order for “No-Axe” to
deny that his first prominent connection
with political life was rewarded with a
political office.
Also to deny that Colquitt and he only
indorse such portion ofScnatorNorwood’s
civil rights speech as will inflame the
minds of our colored population.
Also deny that the solid South teemed
with praises of Senator Norwood while
in office.
Also to deny that the following pure
men indorse Norwood, viz.: Rev. J. R.
Respess, Gen. Eli Warren, Gen. A. R.
Lawton, Hiram Warner, and others.
Also to deny that a bad example was
given by the Colquittites iu annoying
Norwood when introducing the debate in
Macon.
Also to deny that Norwood was treated
badly by Colquittites in Covington, aud
that D. E. Butler was insulted after di
viding time with Gen. Gordon in Millcdgc-
ville.
Also, in order to deny that, like the
doctor who could only cure fits, and had
to produce fits before he conld efleet a
cure, so Colquitt has to throw his pa
tients into a military spasm, even when a
sheriff's posse could have been furnished
by the good people of old Spalding instead
of an armed company; or facts and fig
ures could have been given to the people
of Georgia instead of a military harrangue
in vindication of official tuts.

Campaign Notes.
Gordon at Milledgeville.— Union
and Recorder: The audience cheered
immensely when General Gordon rose to
speak. But few men in the great throng
had ever seen him before, knowing him
only by the record of his glorious deeds
on the tented field. No man on all God’s
acres, is more beloved than General Gor
don, and the cheering was a personal
tribute to himself, as well as to ills
friend, Governor Colquitt, in whose de
fense he was here.
We need not, and will not, follow Gen.
Gordon through his argument, as he took
up the charges against Gov. Colquitt, oue
after another, and answered them, we
must think, to the satisfaction of every
unprejudiced mind. The anti-Colquitt
men do not agree in the charges against
the governor. Gen. Toombs says his ad
ministration is all right except the ap
pointment of Joe Brown, while Mr. Nor
wood s£$s the appointment of Joe Brown
was all right, but otherwise his adminis
tration is all wrong. But most of our
county readers heard Gen. Gordon, and
those who have not will find in Gov. Col
quitt’s letter in reply to Mr. Norwood a
lull text of the general’s speech, so far as
the issues of the canvass are concerned.
The greater portion of his speech was di
rected to the vindication of Alfred H.
Colquitt against tho persistent and malig
nant aspersions on his private character,
manufactured by bad men for tlie sole
purpose of revenge and office, and repeat
ed and circulated by men who boast of
tlieir honor, their manhood and their love
of virtue. In tills vindication the speaker
rose to tlie summit of eloquence. His
burning words and earnest manner
convinced every fair-minded man that
lie -was sincere and fortified by truth.
When he came to speak oi the reasons
impelling him to resign his seat in the
Senate and told the simple story of Ms
noble deeds of charity for the wounded
soldiers aud their wives and little ones,
and how his pnrse was ever open to re
spond to the almost daily appeals for help,
great strong men shed tears as women do.
The whole speech was masterly and gave
tbe utmost satisfaction to the friends and
supporters of Gov. Colquitt. The effects
of it will he heard in thunder tones from
the ballot box in Baldwin, in October.
After the general closed a large portion
of the audience left. Many who did so
retired for dinner, hut all the colored men,
several hundred, leftin a body.
Mr. Butler spoke his piece, but it fell
like a bucket cf ice water on tlie crowd.
Personal.—Should this meet the eye | He could not, bad he been more gifted as
of the individual who created a disturb- • a speaker, or better fortified by facts, have
lias not yet taken effect in the other J ance in church last Sunday by his contiu- 1 stemmed tlie torrent Gordon had set iu
poiftts of importance which remained j lied coughing, he will confer a favor on motion. If hq pleased his friends and
opc-i at the commencement of the session.
The governments which were parties to
that treaty have communicated to the him. Savannah.—Chronicle and Conotitit
Governor Colquitt.
For Colquitt.—Griffin News: Col,
Herbert Fielder, of Cuthbert, was in the
city yesterday. He was an anti-Colquitt
man before the convention met in Atlan
ta, but he is now a strong supporter of
Cov. Co,quit!, and says that if the elec-
lion wa3 confined strictly to the Demo
cratic vote of Georgia, Colquitt’s majority
would be twenty-five or thirty thousand.
What can He Say.— Union and Re
corder: We can’t see, for the life of us,
what ammunition Mr. Norwood can use
on the stump against his opponent. The
governor's letter spiked every gnu in his
battery, aud yet Mr. Norwood goes on
shooting just the same as ever. He re
minds us of the little boys shooting chi
na berries out of their pop-guns. They
reload with the same . berries they have
fired. Of course the report and effect
gets Weaker at every repetition. Rut the
boys think it is better than uo shooting at
all.
The same paper remarks: “Ex-Gov-
eruor Smith has developed into a veiy un
favorable nature. lie eats his bread and
butter out of an office given him by Gov-
erner Colquitt, and then rides around the
ecuutry abusing him—and mind , you,
abusing him for a condition of things
originating under his own bad manage
ment of public affairs. In moral philoso
phy such men are styled monsters.”
Norwood at Macon.—The Atlanta
Post says: Norwood tore Colquittism to
a frazzle at Macon, last night, aud excited
enthusiasm to the highest pitch. A cor-
respondent of the Constitution says that
Colquitt was “wholly unembarrassed’' iu
his reply. It was the tranquil stupor of a
lamb led to slaughter.
No Nomination for Governor bv the
Republicans.
The Republicau State convention, at
Atlanta, was very far from being a har
monious assemblage. Mr. Norcross ad
vocated Norwood, and said Mr. Jewell
did the same. This elicited a protracted
and acrimonious discussion, ending in the
refusal of the convention to endorse that
gentleman, and tlie adoption of a resolu
tion declining to make any nomination for
governor. A majority of the body, on the'
principle of choosing tlie least of two evils,
seem to prefer Gov. Colquitt. Jackson
McHenry, of Fulton, said :
“We must look at both these men
Governor Colquitt has done some little
jood for us; but, my God, don’t talk to
me of Norwood. It scares me to hear
about him. [Laughter.] They are circu
lating a little old thing that is an insult
to the intelligence of our race. It has a
nigger with a ball and chain on. [Cheers.]
Why didn't they put a white man on
there? Haven’t they got any iu tlie chain
gang? EJ Cox is there, and if that
crowd gets in he will be pardoned out,
Norwood says he’s opposed to Colquitt
because he preaches to niggers. I’m op
posed to him because lie don’t. [Great
cheering.] This Norwood crowd is the
worst Democrats of the two. The only
difference between these independent
Democrats and the regulars is that the
regulars are sheep with horns on before
they get into office, and tbe independents’
boms grow out afterwards. [Great en
thusiasm.]

amount of freight was already beached,
and more coming. They at once formed
themselves into a joint slock company for
the time, and went fur that freight with a
vim. During August 30 and 31, they
kept the matter of the wreck a profound
secret, and it was a secret well kept, for
it was not until the night of tlic 31st of
August, that the news reached the city.
Iu the meantime, our industrious pilots
had worked both day and night, like
beavers. Having entire possession of
both beach aud cargo, they managed to
have many goodly piie3 stored up at dif
ferent poiuts of the beach, worth thou
sands of dollars.
Several trunks belonging to the ill-fated
passengers came ashore in good order,
ouly to be broken open and rilled. One
evidently belonged to a lady of wealth,
for it was filled with costly silk dresses
and clothing ot the finest order, and laces
n orth many a dollar. A gold watch and
cl s’ l, also two valuable bracelets, were
found in this trunk. In another trank a
large pocket book, well filled with hills,
was found by these fortunate pilots. In
fact they had a bonanza, and they worked
it for all it was worth, having gold watch
es, diamonds, well filled wallets, elabor
ate clothhig and many tons of valuable
freight as tlieir reward. Indeed the lat
ter was in such vast proport ions that teams
were employed for several days in haul
ing their find, aud large lighters were
filled with produce.
As before stated, the secret was faith
fully kept Monday and Tuesday, but
when tlie matter leaked out, late on Tues
day night, the whole city was alive with
excitement. Eveiybody that had a boat
or could borrow one or pres3 oue into
service, hied away to the beach.
Nor was this wrecking fever confined to
Minorcans aud negroes, but the busi
ness men and clerks for the time being
turned wreckers, and the beach was
thronged with auxious hunters for the
cast-up treasures of tlie sea. Several
bodies were washed ashore. After being
inspected and plundered, they were bur
ied in the sand on tlie beach. The corpse
of a young lady came ashore, on whose
person was a dress of rich silk, aud on
her finger was a valuable solitaire dia
mond ring. She was also buried on the
beach, after being rifled of her valua
bles.
