Roaves hed trade liuHewYork and set with slone? ricked up near Athens. Wo were also shown souse I rough specimens found on a place owned by Mr. K., which he will have cut acd pol iaticd. To the eye they look like the com mon crystals and pebbles so common in tins part of the State, and for years were lOOUdupon by onr fn-mers a.? rn . ioed- iment in the way of the plow. tattle djd they know that those locks had a valuo far exceeding the crops grown on the soil and that these crys tal mines will some day be eagerly sought after by capitalists as a new field for in vestment. Among the valuable stones already found in tho near vicinity of Ath ens we will mention first a brilliant gem that Northern experts pronounce the near- lost a diamond to any substance yet dis covered. They also affirm that no atone has evor bean found to equal this in br.I- liaccy, it surpassing even the Brazilian pebble. Mr. weaves says it took him some time to convince the jewelers thathehad not brought them a piece of glass. These stones vary in size from a pea to as large as a man’s fist, end are thought to have a high commercial value, as fliey retr'n apoi- ish and sparkle in tho darkness. There are vast and inexhaustible mines of th's crystal, and it is said to bo nnususlly abun dant in Oconee. Next on the list acmes the emerald, which is a small dark about the size aud shape of a pea, althoureAJarger specimens are sometimes found. Henwc will add tho amoliiyat, topaz, end a beaut.- fdl c -yatol, not yet defined, streaked w.tn all thj colo.sof the rainbow. Besides these aro gems with clearly defied clouds float ing within them, as also of ever/sbade and hue. Thero is no doubt about the value of these stones. As we before stated, New York jewelers who have tested rnd worked them p.-onounce them gems of raro worth, and express surprise that our people have so long ignored them, os'ng. ar nu.j inferior settings for jewelryj when we have right under our feettreasl n. es that even kings might envy. The dia mond is also 6ometUaea found in this sec tion, but they wiU not pay the searcher as woll as the more abundant mines of crys tal. This matter will be worked np and a commercial valne given these stones They can bo used for many purposes, and will doubtless tako the place of tho import- cd goods now flooding the market.

Fortunately, neither of these suppositions proved correct, and the alarm wa3 found to lmve been occc.- eioned by the breaking out of fire in a lot of turpentine on a flat moored in the canal between tho Central railroad bridg. and the river lock, in dangerous proximity to tho Inigo new elevator.

His farm is about eight miles .'rom th’s place, but samples 01 his cattle can generally be seen here. I was shown to-dsv a Jersey cow which Mr. Murphey says he can get S5C) for. She is certainly a tine animal. Two pounds of butter are made from her milk daily. Mr. Murphey has been trying va rious breeds of cattle on his farm for sev eral yenrs and be has ascertained by ar tual test which breeds are best adap* :d to this section. As fast as these tests terminate in establisliin- tbo superiority of any particular breed all others are abandoned and this one pushed. He has ascertained, from these tests that Jersey cattle, Merino sheep, Berkshire and Etsex sw'ne aud Angora goals are the breeds which aro best adapted to this sec tion aud he is therefore making specialties of these breeds. In deciding the question of adaptability, various points have been kept in view. Capacity to wuiisland the diseaB3e incident to the section and climate, to thrive on the food in general use for stock in this section and to meet tho wau!v the vrrioas animals are kept to supply, have all'been considered.

About dinner most of them left for home, a col ored woman and her daughter, aged about 11 years, remaining behind to attend to the fires. It seems tnat tho lit’legirl began to punch at n large jtenp, in rail bltze, when ono of the logs rolled off, catch ing tho child beneath it nud holding her securely. Her screams brought the mother to her assistance, and the motter did all in her power to remove tke log and relense the prisoner, But it was so heavy that her efforts availed naught. In the meantime the flames wero slowly devour ing the child, whoso moans were heart rending. She was some time burning fo dentil.

The recent destruction by fire of what was known as the Murat House, nenr Tal- lalia-see, Kla., ha? e’icited an affecting in cident relative to a lady well remembered by many old residents of New Orleans for her many estimable qualities. This lady was the widow of Napoleon Achiile Charles Louis Murat, tbe elder son of Mnrat and Carolino Bonaparte, for a brief period king and queen of Naples. After the exe cution of Ills father es an insurgent against tho restored Bourbon dynasty of Naples, AehUle came to th<s country nnd parchased a 'plantation in Florida. We'l educated, of an inquiring and literary tarn, he devoted himself to the stndy of onr institutions and laws, and wrote sev eral able papers on political and legal questions and on the resources and pecu liarities of America, which wore h'ghly commended in literary circles in France, where they wore published. Whether be fore or after purchasing his Florida plan- tniion wo are not informed, but for a few years he took np his residence in this city and engaged iu the practice of law. His name will bo fonnd in onr report? ns of counsel in several important suits. Final ly, however, he returned to his plantation it Jefferson county, Fla.,and there estab lished his permanent residence. His death occurred in 1817. On bis first visit to Florida, Achiile Murat, mingling iu the then gay nnd refined society of Tallahas see, was captured by the charming, ac complished and high-born Miss Beltie Wil-, Us, whom bo married. M iss BetUe was the daughter of Colonel Byrd Willis, who was a notable personage in his day; notable for his high lineage, his relationship to the Washing! in, Leejand GnsUs families, for his lavish hospitality, his wit, hnmor and coat cotpulcncy. He was a native of Fredericksbarg, Virginia. The family mansion ot tbe Willis’ crowned tho hid overlooking Fredericksbarg, and is &ow flie s'to of the Federal cemetery which in closes the remains of 13,000 Union soldiers, killed in battle arouod that historio nnd ancient tswn. During those fierce nnd destructive campaigns, this eminence was designated Lee’s bilk It was from this high elevation t’.e Confederate artille ry hnrled it? terrific cannonade upon tho advancing Unes of the Federal armies in their several attempts to scale the heights and break through General Leo’s lines iu their onward march oa Richmond. The o are stiU ve-tiges of the old Willis estnbli-’• - ment. Ontside'lie walls of tho Union cem etery is tits old family graveyard, inclosed by a brick -wall. Therein are buried the members of the Willis family for genera tions back. Our own Washington nrtiile- ry, which did such gallant service in the defense of this hUl, interred I heir dead in th* same graveyard of the Willi? family. More than three qnar'reis of a century ago the mansion was burned, and only a few remnants of the foundsl‘on of tho building can bo traced. It was in this house, before th9 beginning of the present ccntnry, that gallant Light Horse Harry Leo took refuge when pursued by bis cred itors and placed by judgments witl-’n prison bound?, which were derigna' d ns the limits of the connty of.Spottsylva’iia. From this asylum, so hospitably extended to him by tho father of Colonel Byrd Wil- 1'., Harry Leo dated loiters to bis old friend, Robert Morris, of Philadelphia, the great financial m'nistor of tho conti nental congress, Asking for a small loon to rescue him from tho grasp of Qfk law and his creditors. To which le'.ieiTcame tbe hnmilinliDg response that the ex-flonneier, who raised the lands to oondnet our revoln I'onnry straggle, was in n worse straight t.ian his friend, the gallant commander of the Light Horse of ihe continental army, nnd the hero of so many of the most glori es battles of onr war of independence. He, too was in the grasp of h : s creditor, who had held him in prison for six months and only released him when over sixty yenrs of age, to recominenco commercial life in the faint expectation of : o-estnb- lishinghis credit aud securing a small quota nt peast of the claims from ihe ac cumulations of bis mercantile enle-prise end skill. Alas ! these hopes were nover realized. Mr. Morris could do nothing for his frieud t Light Horse Harry, who had to serve out his term of imprisonment un der the shelter and hospitable pro ectioa of his old friend, Colonel Willis. It wnq after such service that Harry Lee was call ed by President Washmqton to the cora- 111:111;’. of the army sent to Pennsylvania to suppress the whisky insurrection. In the Willi? mansion was born Colonel Byrd Willis, nnd probably his dnnghler, Bettie Willis, who married the'oldest son of the King of Naples and nephew of ti e great Napoleon I. When Louis Nnpclu entered upon his scheme of reviving glorias of tho Napoleonic dynasty, some yea-s after her husband’s death, Mmc. Achilla Murat was invited to Paris and regnlariy introduced into the Napoleon family and entitled a princess, as her husband’s mother had been qnoen rnd prince?.?. But, while from reduced c',r. cumstnnces, not insensible or ungrateful for ihe accompanying benefits of her admission into the then prosperous imperial dynasty of France, she sigh ed for restoration to her loved na tive land and • was never happy or contented until she conld regain the scene? of her married life in oeanlifal Florid Bat, alas! after the death of her husbsi- iheir fine establishment in Jefferson coun.y had become a desolate waste and wilder ness. Then she pa -chased a modest lot and erected a .-'in.'Hi cottage near Tallahas see, where she conld enjoy tbe society of her old friends, and pass the remnant of tier life away from all the e..citeiuents and disturbing associations of fashionable and aristocratic society and political intriguo and contention. When she perceived Ibo approach of the inevitable termina tion of all human c veers, nnd the shad ow of approaching dissolution begun to gather over her, she hints led npon being borne to the old plantation house, and to the chamber wherein she had closed her Archille’s eyes. Thus van ished from this world of trouble, tho proud and pare spirit of the Virginia maiden, who in her days of girlish suscep tibility aud yonihful romanticism, had al lied herself to the son of an ex-king—wh«, oven when endowed with the titles, honors and emoluments of a princes? oPtbe most brilliant court in Europe, nsver surrender ed, nnd finally reclaimed the still higher and prouder title of a Virginia lady and citizeune of this great republic, and the even higher title conveyed in the last mani festation of moral and intellectual con sciousness of on over faithful and devoted wife.

Fobstth, Ga., March 25.—The matrimo nial event foreshadowed in your columns a few days ago by yoar correspondent in Fora) -h, * >ok plaoe on Thursday evening at the residence of the bride’s brother, Geo. A. Cnbaniss, Esq. The contracting parties were. Rev.G. F. Howaid, of England, at present pastor of the Baptist church in Forsyth, and Mrs. Sallie Cabaniss Burke, the youngest daughter of the lat3 Judge Cabaniss. A party composed of only ‘he relatives of the bride had assembled t3 witness the interestlr? ceremony, which was performed in mo3t admirable style by Rev. Dr. Gwin, of Atlanta; and after t’.o usual congratulations had beenexchpqgod, tho party partook of an elegant collation, which had been prepared. While the occasion was characterized by that quietness which should properly be manifested at the nuptials of a minister and pastor, yet a due amount of mirth and enjoyment was not laoking to render it one of the most delightful wedding parlies ever seen in the place. The Forsyth dancing club -gave another hop last night, the usual pleasure of wt ich were onchaucedby the presence of a hr If dozen of Macon’s society favorite young gentlemen, who come into Ihe feast at the eleventh hoar, arriving on the I0>£ p. m. train. So charm ed were they with Forsyth’s young Indies, and so favorable an impression did they likewise make, that the roseate t’nts of Phoebus’ approaching t liariot had al most flecked the eastern sky before fhe dancing had ceased. These Macon bean: who added sc much to the enjoyment of the occasion, were Messrs. Simmons, Mitchell, Bax :r, Felton, Sanlsbury. Banks and Jones, and we hope to again tiavo on opportunity of giving them a welcome to Forsyth’s social circle. The “flying jenny” is now the attraction here; nor do it? fascination' throw a spell over Yoong America only, for it has beer largely patronized by the “heavy columns” of church and sta!', as woll as the bar. In deed, it is even said that a certain weighty and dignified ex-bapremo Court Justice squandered a dime in treating himself to “a wheel around tho hub.” But this lacks confirmation, asido from its innate im probability, as tke motivo power of the whole concern is only ono small Arabian pony.

Tho Wwhirgton Post gives the follow ing interesting intet view with Mr. Blaine in relation to the Peruvian diplomacy: Blaine said that he was not able to give sn exhaustive review of tlio question, but the general result was precisely whnt be had predicted when l.-esiott’e instructions wore rovoked. “What do yon mean by general r: -nit ?” inquired tbe reporter. “I mem,” sr-d Blaine, “a? I said in Januiry, test Pera is to be despoiled and destroyed, and that tbe pro'” 1 of the syoli- iation will bo divided between Chili and the English bondholders »d the specula tors, who furnished be- tho money and guns and ironclads that destroyed Peru. It is so advertised in the Chilian newspa per by tho Treasury Depart nent of Chili. They have issued a decree, asking for bids for ono million tons of gnaaoto be extract ed from the guano beds of Pen, now in possession of Chili. Every cargo must be paid for, so the advertisement runs, in good sterling exchange. English money, mark you, nt ninety dnys sight. One-half goes *o CbiU and one-half to the English bondholders, end Cbili binds herrelf doposit fifty per cent, of -tho proceed? of the gnnno in tho Bank of England." “ Did TrescoUngreo'o this? 1 ’ asked the “Trescott was forbidden,” said Blaine, “to say one word about it, and was not per mitted even to intcroose a pro' ra*.” “How forbiddon?” “Howl” said Blaine. “Whyinexp’hfit torms. Hero i? what my suco.-ssor in the State Depart ment eoid in bis letter re Tres cott, revtking his previous instructions: •Tho President wishes in no manner to dicta to or mako any authoritative utterance to either Pern or Cl li as to the merits of the controversy existing between there re publics as to what indemnity should be asked or given, as to the charge of bonn- daries, or as to the personal government of Pera. The President recognizes Pern aad Chili to Ire indoy etalent republics to waich ho has i/I*right or inclination to dictate.” “Of ciurso,” continued Blaine, “when Trescott was thus mm's rowerless, Chili and the English bondholders lind it all their own way, with none to molest or make them afraid.” “Then it would sodm ns if Trescott’s visit had turned out in the interest of English speculators?”suggested tho reporter. “Undeniably,” said Blaine, “because Trescott, undor Frelinghuysou’s instruc tions, lias- stood there as a constant wit ness. Tho United States could not, in any event, intervene. If the indemnity de manded took tholast dollar of Peru’s prop erty, Trescott was specially instructed not to say ono word in protest or opposi tion." “How did Troreolt como *> sign this re cent protee >1 ?” asked tho reporter. “I do not understand that he has signed any protocol. The dispitebes are a littlo confused, but you will observe tho result to Chili and Peru is exnctly the same, whother onr good offices in aid of the protocol should be used or not. It is merely a ques tion a? to whether we would actively aid or simply agree not to hinder.” “Does not the protocol change all pre vious demands of Chili ?” “I think,” said Blaine, “it enlarges those demands somewhat beyond the indemni ties nskod before Trescott arrived. Natu rally enongh, when Chili foundathe United States was sure not to interfere, she took aU she wanted. She added, I think the dis triet of Tacna to her prev ; ou? demands, besides a large strip of territory north of Tnrnpaca. As I understand Chili's de mands now, they include, first, the abso lute annexation of Tarapaca and a large strip-of territory north of it. The e in clude nil tbe nitrates and a great bulk of tho gdann. Second, Chili holds and occupies tho districts of Arica and Tnona nominally for ten yrn-a to Lo then released to Pera on payment of $1 J,C X),- CJO, which they Uavo her no more power to pay than if it were twenty tbousaui' millions. Arica and Tacna may, therefor?, be considered permanently annexed. Third, the Lnbas Islands are to be seized nod held by Chili a? long as there is any guano on them. They have, therefore, taken tbs very richest districts of Peru, in cluding all the nit' ates and ail her guanos, just ns they designed in the outset, only they were not then sura, as they are now, that the United Hints? would permit it. When these conditions were submitted to Trescott, he was graciously told that his good offices would be accepted to urge them upot. Pera, but if Pera roftucs .0 ac::de to them, thee bis food offices mast be onsidered at an end.” “That can hardly be -nsidered oonrte- ous to tho United States ?” queried the repor’ ~r. “ Why should Chili be courteous to Ihe Uti': d States?” replied Blaine. “ Nations, like iadi, Ida ids, depend for their position anon .heir power nod will to assert. When Urixh Heap thankod God he was humble, Master Copperfield ' x>k him akhi? word. When our Minister of State irstrucied Trescott ‘ 1 make no authoritative uttor- auce, but merely to be seen nnd not heard, and to act the part of meekness aud hu mility, Chili naturally concluded she could use the power of this grant government as sue chose, and thus sought to make Tres- c .it atd in her designs upon Peru.” “But I do not quite understand,” said the reporter, “ how Cb’li cprae advei rise million? of tons of Peruvian guano for sale before the treaty was concluded or any a r rnngemeat for peace made.” ‘Site did it on ihe old principle,” said Blaine, “he shall take who lias power, and he shall keep who can. It is on absolute conquest. She reels so sure that she need not wait for the treaty to be concluded, bhe simply appropriates property with a strong hand. When the United States ro- 1 fused to ask for justiue between the two. “In any event,” said Mr. Blaine, “It would have done no harm, and we should have had the consciousness at least of try, ing to save a sister republic from destruc tion. It would have been honorable to make the effort, even if it had failed. As the result sow stands, we have acquired the hatred of the Peruvians to the latest generation, and at least the con tempt of the Chilians. We have also secured the self-xatisfied chuckle of a band of English speculators, into whose hands the Vower of the Uni* d Sta* •* has so effectively played. Great Britain, with nil her prowoss, conld not have advanced the commercial interests of her own mor- chan*?in South America so powerfally and destroyed *Ue interests of American merchants thero so completely, as lias been done by the instructions with which Trescott was bound nod gagged. The first installment to British in' res*- is the freight money on a million tons oft, aano, and half the profits of i f ". sale in Europe, which of i elf is a larger snm Ihr •. tne war expenditures of Chili.” “But if tho United States had intervened, would not Gioat Britain also have inter vened ?” “Well,” said Blaine, “it woaldhnvo been worth while to find oat whether, if the Uni ted States intervened to snve an American republic, Great Britain would have inter vened to destroy it. In my own judqmon*- the foreign policy of Great Britain will next take that dirflfftiou. It certainly will not as long as British statesmen eeo that the Uni'd States can dobyomis?ion more for Britishiulerests than Great Britain can do by commission. Tho whole idea, how ever, of British intervention is a myth. The moral power of the Unit ad S*'tes in South America woald simply have been ir resistible. For American inlerea' - it w a tho oppoi.onity of a century and « was blindly sacrificed. The commercial inieret/s of tliis country in South America will not in fifty yoars re cover what has been Io3t and what was in its power to acquire. Our interests are nci only totally destroyed in Chili and Pei 2, but our prestige is impaired in all South America. Indeed, in all Spanish America, both continental and insular, tbe present generation trill not witness the recovery of that which has been lo3t wit* : n tho last ? “wLnyon apeak of eommer.ial iut r- es*', Mr. Blaine, do yon moan shipping interests ?” “ I mean that,” said Mr. Blaine, “but not 'hat alone; I mean tho entire interchange of commoclitiiB, supplying of manufa •- tured articles and raw ma*crisis,.tho ccn- esntration in our commercial cities of a share of that which will now go wholly to London and Liverpool. The trade of the western cor3t of boulh America, from 11 'a time foiward, will be as mnch in the hands of Great Britain as the trade of Brirish In dia.
