We are very particular in putting into
the Post Office regularly the Independent
every Friday evening, a copy properly ad
dressed" for each one of bur subscribers
who wish their papers put iu the Post
Office, and there is scarcely a day that the
complaint don’t come, “We have been to
the office and can’t get the Independent. "
Why is it so? "What becomes of them?
and who is responsible for them? We can
hear of Radicals away down in Florida,
where we have no subscribers, cursing
us; we haven’t a Radical subscriber here,
and we know that there isn't a Democrat
in the county that would send a Radical
one. We don't objoct to their seeing the
Independent, and reading it for their
soul's salvation, but we don’t want to furn
ish it to the dirty seurups for nothing. On
Monday last Mr. Hiers, a merchant at
Tallokas, in this county, came into onr
office and enquired why the Independent
hadn't been sent out on Saturday, as usual.
"We told him the package had been made
up, properly directed and put in the. Post
Office on Friday evening. He said he had
been to the Post Office, and the Postmas
ter told him that all the mail to Tallokas
bod been sent out on Saturday. We told
him to go back and ask the Postmaster to
search again. Upon close examination
the package was foiind and delivered'to j
Mr. Hiers. These are things we have to j
contend with. Now, to our readers who ;
get their papers in Quitman, although it
will give us much inconvenience, we would :
greatly prefer giving outT their papers from
this office. They will be sure to get them
then, and Radical vultures throughout the j
country will have, if they read them, to
obtain them as honest men do. As little
as we think of them, and as great con
tempt as we have for them, from their
horse-trading, present receiving salary
grab, nepotistic President, down to the >
lowest and most contemptible office-holder j
under the Administration. We arc, nev
ertheless, willing to let them have it at the ;
same terms we furnish it to gentlemen.
We wish to be understood by our sub- !
scribers in this county, who get their mail i
at Quitman, if they wish, we will keep j
their papers in this office until they send j
for them. If not, we will put them in the
Post Office with the understanding that
wr responsibility ceases.
Col. Furrow Contrail iota W'ade.
Wade, in his letter, says that he wrote to
j Col Stone,goi his consent to compromise,
accompanied Mr. Brown to Savannah, and
I succeeded in obtaining the consent of Col.
Farrow. In a letter received from Col.
Farrow yesterday morning in reference to
• the articles we have written, he says the
esses were never reported to mm; he
never heard of them, nor knew of their
existence, and makes all the neces
sary inquiries ns to the origin of the eases,
before whom they I.Rntght.'nltd by
whom they were compromised, all of which
he will Cud in our paper to-day and in a
private letter which we will address to
him, giving a full explanation of the en
tire case.
The Colonel writes like an officer dis
poses! to do his duty, and though wo dif
fer with him in politics, in the discharge
of his official duties as a civil officer the
Independent will forget jxditios and stand
by the Colonel. You shall have all the
Information with perfect accuracy, mul if
there is a wrong done let the guilty pat
ties, as you say, regardless of favoritism,
be dealt with us the law directs. In the
discharge of your duties ns an officer, re
gardless of polities, we pledge you that, all
people .vill sustain you. It is op
)nQ|k)U we are warring against, and we
are glad to hear you say it shall not be.
We regret that wo haven't time and space
to publish Col Farrow's entire letter. He
talks like an officer of the law ought to.

The ttnlcl.n
We have the pleasure of announcing to
onr readers that the shell thrown into the
Radical Commissioners' Collector's ramp,
in our last issue, in reference to the Pon
der warrant and arrest, lias utterly de
moralised the double office-holders, and
they can’t say or add a thing except to get
poor Ponder to say that Commissioner
Wade treated him very kindly, and we
learn from the Banner that he withdrew
that. From all the circumstances we are
of the opinion that Commissioner Wayne
and A. N. Wilson acted properly in the
discharge of their official duty. Wo have
no doubt that Wilson took the oath as
Commissioner Wayne says lie did, and
signed the affidavit in the right place over
his own signature, lmt. that Was in Sa
vannah on the 9th. Ponder was arrested
in Quitman on the Bth, the day before
their warrant was issued. And we think \
that they knew nothing about the alleged
violation of law until Stephens, the Depu
ty Marshal, carried Ponder to Savannah
under arrest. Then Wilson could make,
as Commissioner Wayne says he did, the
affidavit to the best of his knowledge and
belief, and it was Commissioner Wayne’s
duty to issue the warrant. If this suppo
sition is correct there must have been.somo
dirty work done up here. Men so greedy
ns to hold two offices at once are not likely
to act correctly in both. The people have
solved the problem, and it is settled iu
their minds where the warrant originated
that Stephens arrested Ponder under, and
their minds will not change until a better
showing is made.

Our friend, Judge Joseph T inian, of
Madison county, Fla., is now using a
preparation composed of the following in
gredients and proportions, viz:
f> lbs sulphur.
2 “ sul soda.
2 “ copperas. i
ti “ tine meal.
1 tahlespoonful carbolic acid.
This compound, thoroughly mixed ami
sprinkled on the cotton, will destroy the
worm in a few hours. The planter wish
ing to prepare a largo quantity will be 1
governed by the proportions above. The
Rev. Wm. H. Bryant, who brings us this
formula frwp, Mr. Tilrnun, assures us that
he saw Mr. T. try the experiment, and
that it proved a perfect bane to the worms.
One hand can distribute this preparation
over two or tlifee acres per day. We trust
that the preparation may prove a success
ful destroyer of the vermin, and that the
planters may equip themselves with haver
sacks and supply themselves with this
Tilman ammunition, and oominence the
warfare at once. Meet every skirmish line
as they come upon your threshold, and
destroy them;.doj^'t,wait until they conge
in such force as to destroy Votir eroj* be
fore you can obtain the ingredients and
make the preparation. Try a little upon
the first worm you see; if it proves effec
tual order a sufficient quantity to protect
your entire crop. Planters would do well
to go to Mr. T's and see the experiment
tried, and learn how to make the prepara
tion. Caterpillars, we learn, are quite
numerous in Madison county.

A Hot Place.—ln drifting on the 1,400
level of the Crown Point mine the work
men keep a hole of considerable length
drilled ahead of the main work, ill order
that they may not suddenly break through
into a large body or natural reservoir of
water. A day or two since, while thus
boring ahead in the rock, a vein of water
was tapped which was exceedingly hot, so
that eggs were boiled in it, and boiled till
very hard at that. The eggs were placed ,
in the drill hole, a bit of rock placed be- j
fore them to back the water over them, j
and in a few minutes they were boiled as
hard as could have been done anywhere.
Sam Jones, Superintendent of the mine,
who cooked and ate some of the eggs, is
of the opinion that this bit of cookery was
performed at a greater depth in the bowels
of mother earth than any that lias ever
been done on the Pacific coast. No won
der that the minors working in the lower
levels perform their labors stripped to the
skin.— Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.

The Late Heavy and Destructive Storms
in the West.
Our Western States, from the great
Plains to the Alleghany Mountains, for
some throe weeks have literally Bptffi del
uged with heavy rains, accompanied in
many eases with destructive tornadoes and
the keenest lightning end thunder. Illi
nois, Indiana and, Ohio appear to have
been the centres of these numerous revol
ving storms, and the reports of the result.-
\ iug damages to the crops, including the
wheat harvested and shocked in the fields,
and the growing Indian corn, with the nu
merous other losses of property, ate de
plorable and discouraging.
Tuesday liust is reported ns the first day
at Springfield, 111., during these throe
weeks that no ruin lnid fallen. For several
days before it had fallen in torrents in
the central aud southern sections} of the
State, resulting in serious losses to the
farmers of tlieir wheat, oats, barley mul
! hay, just out. , The shocks of wheat, in
, great quantities, lutd been blown down
; mul spoiled, w lule tliu grain on .those
standing had commenced Hprouting, the
whole crop thus visited being lost, or ivn
! dered useless, except for fodder or manure.
Aud we have similar reports from numer
ous oountieß in Indiana and Ohio, with
even heavier damages to the harvested
and growing crops tnu those suffered by
the farmers of Illinois. In addition to
these damages to the products of the fields
the whole section of country swept over
by this remarkahlo procession of storms
hits suffered severely from the losses of
other property blown down, inundated or
wlushed away. Large bodies of forest trees
and numerous orchards lmve been pro i
trated. Dwellings, mills, factories, and
churches hove been demolished; miles
upon miles of fences have been scattered
over the fields, roads have been blockaded
or flooded in every direction, and bridges
! mid culverts have been swept away.
Never has there been in the West n
stormier season than this for the bust two
weeks of June and the first week of J uly.
All this, too, while from Virginia to New
York, and thence to Maine, the country
east of the Alleglianies has neon suffering'
from a dry season, approaching a discs
trous drought, with only a few relieving
showers since July set. in, but hardly suf
lici. u!,, us yet, Ui ulumgo onr sunburnt,
parks and fields to a healthful green. For
example, the rain guage at the sources of
our Croton water supply shows for the
month of .Tune this year only about one
fourtli of the average rainfall in that dis
trict., and such for the same period has |
been the average deficiency over most of
the Atlantic slope north of the James
river.
Hut. why these excessive rains in the
West and these scanty supplies in the
East ? This is a nice question for a signal
service bureau. The great reservoirs from
which the United States east of the Rocky
Mountains and the basin of the iSt. Lau -
rence draw their supplies of water are the
Gulf of Mexico and the Carribcan Sea, The
general course of the vapor drawn from
"these liberal boilers is up the Mississippi
Valley in one current, and along the Alle
glnune#and the Atlantic coast in another.
The general course of the Mississippi cur
rent. after reaching the upper river, up
pears to he eastward, between the great
lakes and the Ohio river. Hence, it would
appear that for this summer season, so far,
the masses of vapor from which we draw
onr principal rain supply have been ex
hausted tvi mule from the West to the
Must, and before passing tie 1 Alleghenies.
The cause.'! for this extraordinary state of
tilings may be charged to some peculiar |
conditions of the atmosphere out West;
some cross currents of cold air from the
Arctic zone acting as condensers, while
the, conflict with the warmer air currents
created by the late intense heats, havel
produced those , recent heavy "Western
storms and destructive hurricanes. But
whatever the exact causes for these extra
ordinary phenomena may be, they are bo;
yoiid our control. Wo must take them as
they come; but still we hope that our dry
season is over, and that our turn is at
j hand for liberal supplies of rain.

Gen. Pecksniff Howard Objects to be Tried
,by a Military Court.
A Washington dispatch says: “It is uu
! derstooil that General Howard demurs to
any form of trial before a military tribu
nal in connection with his administration
of the Freedman’s Bureau. Ho justifies
this objection by expressing his opinion
that in the present feeling of army officers
t against his views on the Indian question,
as well as their constant prejudice against
the representation of the army in the. man
agement. of the Freedmen’s Bureau, he
could not Vie certain of justice at the hands
of a military court. It is the impression
that the War Department will accommo
date itself to General Howard’s wishes,,
and another Congressional investigation
will be suggested on the assembling of
Congress in December.”
This objection to a military investiga
tion of his rascalities is shrewd on the
part of Pecksniff. The last, persons to
whom he should look for the kind of jus-,
lice he deserves are those who know him,
best. Though not distinguished in the
service, General Pecksniff’s character is
well understood and no doubt justly ap
preciated by the officers of the army, a i
class among whom the spirit of truth, j
honor and fairness has not yet died out, :
and whose professional pride Wotild scorn j
to scree,n an unworthy associate from the j
condemnation due to his misconduct. No j
wonder Pecksniff prefers that his case -
shall be submitted to aCortgreSi-iomdCom
mittee of “Christian statesmen” like tiim
"rff, from whom he lias a right to expect,;
in reward for past partisan service, a gene
ral whitewashing.

A Romance in Real Life.
A few years since there lived in Bchek,
a village on the Bosphorus, some six miles
above Constantinople, au elderly Greek
gentleman named Teheiliy Yorgaky. A
warm-hearted, genial old gentleman was
Mr. Yorgaky. He was the possessor of
siijue property iu r- al estate, and a suffi
cient income wasderiied from this sou roe
to supply the wants of himself and his
amiable' wife, leaving n balance, more or
less, which was distributed tor charitable
objects. They hud no children. Thu ven
erable collide were very happy iu each
other's Society; they luul few intimate as
sociates outside; but among these was n
friend of the writer, an eminent American
who for some time resided near their
dwelling in Rebel;. Olio day onr friend
was invited to spend s social evening with
Mr. Yorgaky, the latter saying, that if
agreeable, lie would on this occasion re
late some fuctsof his family history, which
might possibly prove interesting as consti
tuting a strange chapter in real life in the
East. Our friend promptly accepted the
invitation,'as any live Yankee would have
done under this stimulus .tocuriosity. The
old gentleman's statement- and onr friend
vouched for Yorgaky’* character for truth
fulness, niter an Ultimate acquaintance
with him for many years—was substan
tially as follows:
My father's name w’as Yoliannis Giros.
llis lather carried on the bakery business.
At quite an early age loh aim is was em
ployed as bread Seller at bis father’s stall
near the Egyptian Bazaar at Btamboul.
There he had made the acquaintance of n
Turkish hov of about his own age named
Ibrahim,-who was employed as salesman
in his father’s tobacco shop elosu by. A
, remarkable friendship grew up between
these two boys. All their leisure time was
Spent in each other's society. They in
bulged in sports together. They bilked
pver plans of business by which in future
years they might Ant be* sepitrated a sin
gle day. Tln'.v would achieve fortune and
share their wealth together. These were
the day-dreams of lohunuis and Ibrahim.
Time wore on; the hoys had attained the
ago of seventeen or eighteen years. Ibra
him’s father secured for his soli a situa
i,i 'U as tcliiboukgi (pipe-bearer) to the
Pasha if Bagdad. This was a great honor
for a boy iu Imuthlo circumstances, lint
Ibrahim did not desire the place, for it
would take him far away from Yoliannis.
Parental decision, however, was omni
potent ill the ease, aud go he must. But
beforusepamliiig the Iso had a long con
ference together. “J must go,” said Ibra
him, “but I shall return to Constantino
ple us a Pasha, and then you will share
my Honors and'fortune." The separation
of Yoliannis atid Tbrahim was painful. ,
When the final adieu was spoken each 1
pledged to the other that his friendship j
shoo iff remain conztzqt so king as life en
dured. Yoliannis sorrowfully returned to
liis business at the bread-stall; Tbrahim
accompanied his master on a long journey [
to Bagdad.
Yeat’s ]iftss< , t , l by. Yohltnnis Succeeded
to the humble business of his father on
the decease of the latter; lie then married, '
and was blessed, os the poor are so often
blessed, with many children. By indus
try and economy he was barely enabled to
support his large family comfortably. His j
mind often dwelt upon the scenes and
loves of his youth, and the Turkish boy
Ibrahim was always the central figure in 1
these memories. A dozen years prior to
this time lie. heard that his dear friend of i
boyhood's days had died, but the memory .
of that friend was reverently cherished by
..him: one so dearly loved ill the fervor of
youth Could not lie forgotten by the gen
brims hearted Yohiuinis even amid the
cares and struggles of life and toil.
One. afternoon, while partaking of his
frugal meal, and surrounded by his loving
family, Yoliannis was startled by tlio ap
pearance of u very unwelcome visitor- tlm
chief police officer of the sublime ports.
The official announced to Yoliannis that
he must accompany him immediately to
the pinto. Ju those barbaric dayssuclia
summons meant condemnation and death,
often without any assignable cause. Yu
liannas aml his family were terrified; they
pleaded for delay. But the officer was
inexorable; Yohanius was dragged away
amid the piteous cries and pleadings of his
wife and children. Arrived at the porte,
the officer conducted his prisoner through
a long hall with guards stationed on either
side, to the door of au apartment, where,
at a given signal the door opened and Yo
liannis was at once brought face to face
with the Grand Vizier.
“This is our sublime master, the Grand
Vizier,” said the officer. Yoliannis imme
diately prostrated himself before that au
gust personage, and commenced pleading
very earnestly for his life. “Spare me,
sublime master, spore lire,” Le ejaculated;
“spare me for the sake of my innocent
and dependent wife and children, if not
on account of my innocence of all wrong
doing. Why should J be brought here to
be made the victim of the bow-string or
the axe ? I have been a good find peace
able subject of His Majesty; I have faith-j
fully kept his laws; I have earned bread :
for myself mid family by honest labor; J
have wronged no man. Let me go, and
y'ou shall have their blessing and my
prayers in return for your mercy. If I urn ,
killed they will die, for lh#y cannot earn
bread to support life.
“You cannot go back to your business,”
said the Grand Vizier, calmly.
“Then sir,” responded Yoliannis, iu u i
more resolute tone, “the blood of an in
nocent man and his family whom you are
about to murder be on your garments; the j
avenging power of Almighty justice pur-;
sue you, sire, to the end; your mine shall ■
not go unpimish l.”
“Yoliannis,” replied the. Grand Vizier,
“arise and answer my questions.”
“Yes, sire, sublime master. ”
“When a boy you served ns a bread
seller for your father close beside the
Egyptian bazaar ?”
“Yes, tire, and lam now keeping that
same stall.”
“Y'ou had a young friend named Ibra
him, Who attended liis father’s tobacco
shop near you.”
“Oh, yes, sire; oh yes,” replied Yohan
liis, overcome with emotion.
“And you and Ibrahim, on parting,
pledged each other to friendship for life,
Ibrahim saying that ho should return j
someday .with the honors and wealth of
u Pasha, and .ho would share with you the
benefits of his position ?”
“Most truly you have spoken, sublime I
master; but this was long ago, and poor
Ibrahim— I shall soon meet him in a bet- j
ter world than this—lias been dead these
many, many years.”
“Ibrahim is not dead,” said the Grand \
Vizier; “he lives and is in good health; j
lie remembers Yoliannis Giros; lie never
forgot the pledge made to him at the time
they parted: and now lie has the ability •
and the determination to make good that j
pledge. Yohaanis Giros,” exclaimed liis
excellency, arising from liis seat and ex
tending liis arms, “Yoliannis Giros, be
hold iu me your friend in boyhood, Ibra
him, the tobacco seller.”
The two embraced and kissed each other;
tears flowed freely. Yoliannis was almost
crazed by the mental reaction. He sobbed
and cried like a child. The great heart of
the Grand Vizier was filled with gladness.
As soon as the emotion awakened by this
exciting scene could be controlled, Ibra
him said to Yoliannis;
~ “Now, you are appointed to u responsi
blepost; you will homy suroff (bunker,)
You will at once receive your outfit of
dress. When properly attired go hence
with the attendants of mv staff to your
home and tell the good news to your wife
and children. Tint horses and equipage
suitable to your rank are ready for you.
You will at once be provided with all
the means required to place your family
iu a position becoming the dignity of your
situation. Attend to these duties to your
family first of all; close up your little
business and then report to me for duty.
Yoliannis and Ibrahim are re-united; the
pledge of boyhood ia fulfilled. Great is
the Lord God, ami Mohamet is liis pro
phet.”
Yoliannis was then arrayed in the glit
tering uniform of his rank; a beautiful
Arabian charger, handsomely oompari
soned, was furnished him, and, with per
sonal servants and a guard of honor, lie
rode rapidly to liis humble dwelling at
Btamboul, having been absent little more
than two hours. The family could scarce
ly credit their own senses when Yoliannis
reappeared, so wonderfully e laiiged ex
ternally, and with his retinue of attend
ants. They were overcome with joy. The
scene cun bo better imagined than des
cribed. From that day forth they enjoyed
happiness and prosperity.
Ibrahim’s course had been this: From
the humble position of tehiboultgi (or
pipe-boureij to the Pasha of Bagdad, lie
was successively promoted to be clerk,secre
tary and Kchyu Bey; then as Pasha, sub
sequently as Pasha of Bagdad, succeeding
liis former master; then Pasha of Aleppo,
and finally, in recognition of his great
ability and successful administration of af
fairs, he was appointed by the Sultan to
be Qrund Vizier of the Turkish Empire.
“And this,” said the old gentleman to
! mv friend at Ucbek, “is the true story
about my father, which I promised to tell
i you, and which X think presents an ex
ample of sublime fidelity in friendship,
j As 1 bless the memory of my noble father,
so also do I bless tlio memory of his bene

Itow Two Boston Girls Saved lira.—
A. correspondent of the Boston Transcript,
writing from the .summit of Mount Wash
ington, relates the following: “Among
the boarders we found many young ladies
from Boston, three of whom have been
spending nearly a week at the Tip-Top
House. We fond their experience very
serviceable, and tlieir company highly
agreeable in the various scrambles about
tile mountain. They were sensibly attired,
having religiously bound each other to
wear but one polonaise each, and they had
torn off a few lifts from the high heels of |
their boots. Two of them, during the j
passage around a very dangerous preei-1
pieo which we came upon in the course of j
our rambles, by tlieir heroic daring saved !
the life of one of the gentlemen of the
party, rescuing him from a position of cer- j
tain death, if dependent Upon liis own ex- j
ertions. One of the young ladies, lying
flat upon tlio ground, slid out over the
bunk from which the gentleman had
slipped, clinging meanwhile to the feet of
lhr second huly, who in turn clung fast to j
a sharp rock above. The gentleman was
drawn up slowly and with great effort,
having with pardonable indelicacy grasped
his preserver about the ankles.’’
