J elks 4 Go's, j Someth luff Wrong. 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.

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.

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 headquarters of the Department of the Gull will be temporarily removed from New Orleans to Holly Springs on the 20th iust. 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. ~~ ' Another “British Lord” Abroad. — One Francis Massey, who has been figuring among the, shoddy at Cape May for several days as a British Lord, turns out to be bogus, and bes decamped in disgrace. He gave out that he was the only son of the Duko of Leeds and a captain in the British Royal Navy. Being found out at Congress Hall, he made for Stockton, but bis game being up he has found it healthier to de camp. His appearance and habits first be trayed him, and being from the very first suspected he was lionized but little. A recent visitor to Mrs. Lee, at Alexan dria, Va., found her busily engaged in coloring an exquisite bunch' of autumn leaves, which, on questioning her he found were destined for a fair to lie, held soon, the proceeds" of which are to go • towards erecting a memorial chapel to Gen. Lee. Making fancy work for this.fair and color ing pictures is Mrs. Lee’s favorite occupa tion, and so eager is she to contribute to its success that she rises at 5 o’clock to be gin her work. A Cleveland dispatch of the 23d states that a fiye occurred at Frie’s distillery on that day, which was caused by au explo sion. It destroyed a five-story brick block, occupied exclusively by that firm. On ac count of so much inflammable material the fire spread with great rapidity. It is said j that a large quantity of fine wines and ] liquors were destroyed. The New York Herald is now delivered i in Philadelphia before the morning pa-1 ports of that city appear. 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 factor and friend, the true-hearted Turk, !

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.’’ FOREIGN AFFAIRS. A HOTLY CONTESTED BATTLE. London, July 19.
