The swimmers began tbeir contest at three o’clock in the morning and swam until about half past ten, when Captain Webb was sciz ed with violent cramps and had' to be taken from the water, which ended the contest. Boynton was still swimming at last accounts, and at 7 o’clock had made twenty miles. Heavy bets were made that he would not cover twenty-five miles by midnight. The French are planning to open up Africa. The government is about to extend the railway system to Scnegam- bia, and contemplates the laying of some 1,200 miles of railway, which will enable it to throw into the hands of Frenchmen the bulk of trade of im mense populous regions in Northwest ern Africa, M. Soleillet, the Sahara explorer, advocates a canal instead of a railway between the Niger, and. the Sen egal. The bar, however, at tho month of the .Niger will, have to be removed, for vessels have been detained three months by it, or a railway may be made between St. Louis and Dakar, which has an excellent port, the country to be traversed being likewise very produc tive. 9th day of October, 1779, Sergeant Jas per feJl in the attack on Savannah, and the intention of this Association is to lay the cornerstone of the proposed monu ment on the 9th day of October, 1879. No occasion conld be more appropriate than tbs centennial of: bia death; no place more-fitting than f not wheron lie f< IL While other Irishmen rose high er in the Colonial ranks, yet none there was who more, truly represented Ireland in America than the brave and modest William Jasper. Born in Ireland, be emigrated to America and settled in South Carolina, The war of the Revolution found him a devoted patriot, and on the 28th of June, 1776, he was engaged in the de fense of Fort Moultrie. His conspicur nos gallantry in leaping over the ram parts of the fort during the hottest of the fight and fixing anew the flag which had been shot from its staff, won for him the admiration of bis comrades, and inspired the bravo defenders of old Moultrie with a loftier heroism. For this act he was offered a commis sion by Governor Rutledge, who said to him: “Yoa have won a sword, sir, and you must wear it.” “Nay, sir,” replied Jasper, ‘T um’not worthy of the tiust, adversity Las been my only schoolmas ter, liberty my only schoolmistres. I cannot mingle with those wLo are supe rior'to me in education and manners without exposing myself to deserved contempt.- Let me alone; let me serve my country in the way that suits me best, as an humble and devoted labor er in the cause of freedom.” Governor Rutledge yielded to this refusal, but •presented him with the \sword which the Governor wore about his per son. Probably the most desperate feat of arms of the Revolution was the release by Jasper and Newton of about twelve American prisoners and the capture of the guard of teu British soldiers. The circumstances surrounding this exploit was romantic in the extreme and wor thy of the days of chivalry. While l econ- noitering the Brittish camp at Ebenez- cr, Jasper learned from Mrs. Jones that her husband, then in irons, charged with desertion of the royal cause, was about to be sent with other prisoners to Savannah, there to be tried, and, dnobt- less, executed. The distress of the poor woman and her child touched the heart- of the impulsive Irishman, and lie-form ed the desperate resolution of attempt ing a rescue. The prisoners, under guard, started for Savannah. Jasper and Newton follow^ them unarmed un t:l the party arrived at what is now known ns Jasper springs, about two miles from Savannah, on the Augusta road. Here the guard stopped for wa ter, resting’their arms against trees, Jasper and Newton each seized a mus ket, shot down two of the guards,dash ed out llie brains of two more with the clubbed guns, leaped among the re maining six soldiers and the other musKets, and possessing themselves of the loaded weapons, escorted them to the American array at rurvsburg, and safely returned Jones to his wife and child. The death of Jasper was in keeping with his life. The attack on Savannah was disastrous. The French and Americans were repulsed; llio bugle had sounded the retreat when the flag which Mrs. Elliot had presented to him, and which he had promised to guard “until eterni ty,” was seen by him trailing in the du-t. Lieutenants Bushe and Hume had been killed while bearing that ban ner, and it was from Hume’s dying grasp that Jasper seized it at the close of the action and the day. Jasper made good his promise. He guarded it ‘.‘un til eternity.” While bearing it be fell, and in falling said to Major. Horry, a companion- in arms, “I have got my furlough.

This is right. Look at this picture, and yon see a that be had been paid nothing for bis services in aiding to steal the Louisiana vote, while everv other - sconudrel con nected with that infamons exploit had been liberally provided for. Being questioned by a World reporter as to how many appointments Anderson, Wells, Kenner and their family connec tions Leld .in the eastern bouse, he re plied:’ ' “Not less than fifty, including sons, sone-in-law, and sons’ fathers-in-law and their sons. To illustrate: There is Anderson, Deputy Collector, salary 83,000; Anderson’s son, clerk, salary 51,400; Ben Bloomfield (Anderson’s sou’s fathei-in.law) Auditor, $2,500; George L. Bloomfield i (sou of Ben and brotherrin-law of Anderson’sson.) clerk, 51,200; R. Natilli (friend of Anderson,) salary 51,460; Louise Demaraise (friend of Anderson,) salary 2,5C0; William R. Johnson (friend of Anderson,) 51,600; and Louis E. Sales (also friend of An dersen.) 52,000. (Mr "Sales has charge of the dead head and sinecure roll, which has drawn from the Treasury from 51,500 to 53,000 for each month since Anderson and Wells have controlled the New Orleans custom house, and this fact mast be well known to the Sereta- ry of the Treasury.)

This snug little sum is to he used as an endowment fund for the ed ucation of worthy young men from Jones county. The number of cruisers which Russia proposes to build in America are put down as high as twenty-two, but five or less seem more probable. E to me by Governor Rutledge for my A British Tourist Kill by the L - dians.—The painful intelligence reach ed this city ^Wednesday by a telegram from Denver, in Colorado, that the Hon. Mr. James Bootbby Burke Roche, the brother and presumptive heir of Viscount Fermoy, who left this city not long ago for a hunting excursion in the far West, has been killed by In dians on the Yellowstone river, Mr Roche left the Brevooit House expect ing to be followed aud joined by two friends, the Hon. Charles Fitzwilliams and Mr J. C. Hare, who left this city on Thursday last .in company with the Hon. Hugh and Lady Grace Lowther to overtake him by way of Chicago and Cheyenne. Tne news of his bis sad fate was sent from Rock creek to Denver, It is the more deplorable that Mr. Ro che, v lio visited this conutry for the for the first time last year, had- return ed here to be married to an accomplishx ed young lady of New York. He was a fine and promising youDg man not yet thirty years of age, and one of a famliy which now bears the name, and more nearly than any other house, represents the race of Edmnud Burke, the first Lord of Fermoy having been a son of Edward llocLe, of Trabolgan and Kil- dinan, in the country Cork, who mar ried Margaret Curtam, the.nearest rela tion then surviving of the great states man and orator.— W.

World. money big tendering every juror who has been summoned and empanelled, to pass upon caser to which this suitor is a party, snms of silver and gold, some ten, others twenty, end some forty pieces; yon see these chosen and sworn jurors pocketing these gifts' in open court without a blush, and sneering in the faces.of an indignant people. This picture you may not have seen in a Georgia court house, but if you wDl watch the gathering of the Georgia Legislature, you will see its counter part. Why these free passes to members of tbe General Assembly? Its motive is to bribe, and it is astounding tbat this practice Las not been characterized as it merits long ago. Many Judges of the courts, too, have travelled from. court to conit to try questions affecting largely the interests of these corpora tions on free passes. This should not be so. If a private citizen who bad many im portant suits.pending before these same judges, should propose to pay their travelling expenses and hotel bills, the proffer would be treated as an insult cf the highest degree, and the attempt to corrupt th e court would be punished on the spot. Yet wherein lies the dif ference?—Milladgeville Recorder. <»©-»— Commenting on the remark of an ex change to (he effect that the extension of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad to Atlanta would be a good thrng for the State, the Montezuma Weekly says: “Yes,’ it would be a good thing for the State.’ if such a thing could be done, bat the building of a road from Maeon to Atlanta is simply a blind to entrap the unwary.” It is our opinion that the whole thing4s being engineered in the interest of a very small ring whose aim} MACON, - " “ GEORGIA, it is to get control of the Macon an!

Tell all my friends who shall remember to ask for me that tbeir poor friend has fought his last ht, has struck his last blow; and may the -blessings of ^Providence rest upon my country and her cause ” “So'fell Sergeant Jasper; his last blow struck in the cause of America; his last shout a gathering cry for the de fence of her honor: his last wish a pray er for her prosperity. So fell Sergeant Jasper. The sand of onr streets has drunk np his blood, and the soil of our ity has encompas: ed his bones. Who has written his epitaph. To build hi s monument is the object- of our most sa cred duty. Let then the. lovers of lib erty everywhere unite with us in rear ing a tribute to modest heroism, as exem plified in the life anff death of William. Jasper. The capture by tka Peruvian iron clads Huascar and Union of ibe' Chilian transport Rimae is considered as very important. Though she wasarmed with thirty-two pounders, she made but little resistance. At the time.of tbe capture she had on board a cavalry regiment from the crack Chilian army corps, two ernments change in Paris, street names change with them add become Royal ists, Imperialists; Oilcanists, Republi cans, Socialists, as the case may be.— One of the streets in that city is said to have changed its name eleven times. The present municipal government has just been making a raid on the streets which bear imperial names, and has changed Queen Hortense avenue into Avenue Hoche, has given M. Marceau’s name to tbe Empress Josephine’s ave nue, and Kleber’s to that of the King of the King of Rome, St. Arnaud’s street becomes Lincoln Street; the qnai Napo leon is converted into the quai Aux Fleurs; the rue d’Albe.i3 renamed after the author of the Marseillaise; the bou levard Haussmann is baptized after Etienne-Marcel; and the rue Magnan becomes rue de Bienfaisanee. Under sneb' ciicumstances the c Id Royalist was right when he refused to receive any let ter unless addressed to him with the old and original name, of the street, rue d’Artois in which he lived. It is stated that the town of St. Ma ry’s, Camden county, has offered to any person who will clear, enclose and plant in sweet orange or pecan trees, or both, forty feet apart, and, if desired, place other fruit trees between them, and erect a frame building on tbe lot, be shall receive a fee Simple title to one- half of the lot; and be entitled to the fiill use of the' other-half free of charge for a period of ten years. The climate of St. Mary’s is fine and the soil is fer tile, and if any immigrant desires a pleasant home on easy terms) he can dc no better *lian to close.with the above liberal proposition.
