THE SOUTHERN OPINION.
Treasure Stolen from an Kxtraorsli
nary Iflislisii? IMuce.
Henry anti Annie Benton, colored, were
arrested yesterday by detective Jenkins,
eh irged with arson anti robbing Laurence
Finifof 52W5.40 in gold. It appears that,
for safe keeping, Mr. Finn, who resides in
Edgefield, some time ago secreted his
money above the ceiling of a privy, think
ing that by this means it would never be
discovered, lie little dreamed that any
sharp-eyed thief would e\er spy out so
extraordinary a hiding place. Mrs. Finn
and her husband, who is paralyzed, were
awakened about three o'clock yesterday
morning by the cry of lire from Benton
and his wife, who appeared to have been
awako for some time. The privy had been
fired, but only a few shingles were burned
before Mrs. Finn suppressed the Hatties
with two or three buckets of water. What
was her consternation on looking-inside to
discover that a breach had been made in
the ceiling, and ail the gold had been taken
therefrom Suspicion at once fell upon the
two servants, and they were sent to jail to
await an investigation before Esquire Can
field, Monday afternoon.
We understand that the woman at first
confessed that herself and husband hud
-toien the money, but.on urrivingatthn j.til
both stoutly asserted their innocence.
There is, at any rate, the strongest proba
bility of their guilt.
Mr. Finn was preparing to enter business
with the lost money.— Nashville Banner,
May id.
Aitisay. —Our usually quiet and peace
ful city was disturbed by a very danger
ous affray on last Saturday. The general
facts as we get them, are about as follows:
On Friday evening Deputy Marshal Os
walt attempted to arrest Thos. B. Cox, lor
shooting a pistol on Broad Street. Cox
charging Oswalt with an attempt to do this
in an improper manner, resisted. Oswalt
linuily succeeded, and Cox was taken be
fore the Mayor by Marshal Logan, and
lined twenty-live dollars, anil cost, and Os
wait instructed to collect the money, but
was allowed two days in which to uo It.—
On Saturday evening, as Mr. Cox was
crossing the street near the bank, and Os
walt following him, Cox turned round and
ordered Oswalt to quit dogging him about
and threatened to shoot hint if he persisted.
Cox drew his pistol and told him 10 go
away and let him alone, stating that he did
not wish to hurt him. Cox then started on
again, when Oswalt ordered him to halt. —
As Cox was in the act of turning towards
him, Oswalt fired. They lired four or five
times each, and bring only six or eight
yards apart, it is very strange that only
one ball took eif-ct in either of the parties.
Cox received a slight flesh wound in the
leg. One ball p i-~ed through the window
of Sullivan ,V f.iw Tilley's store, and lodged
in an umbrella. One went into the Milline
ry store of Mrs. Att.away and Miss Wilkin
son, and the others scattered round at ran
dom.
There being many persons on the stre t,
in the vicinity, it is very strange that no
one was hurt. The parties were taken be
fore the Mayor on Monday morning, and
placed under bonds of two hundred dollars
each, to appear at the next term of the Su
perior Court, to answer to the charge of
an affray ill the public highway. —Hume
Courier, oth.
Suicide of James T. Guay.—The sud
den death of this young man. who was
widely known in this community, a few
mornings ago. excited a good deal of re
mark at the time of its occurrence. It
seems that he liul been complaining the
night previous r., his death, and had taken
a dose of medicine, but tln-se with him did
not sup;;' -e til, le was much the matter.
Early next morning he was found speech
less, and soon afterwards died. The im
pression was at once created that he had
died from the effects of poison, and a post
mortem examinat on was requested by iiis
friends. The brain and the stomach were
accordingly taken out and closely an
alyzed by most all the prominent physi
cians in the city, and yesterday they agreed
upon a report.
.Morphine. Calomel, and perhaps other
medicine, were found in the stomach.
Death was immediately produced by mor
phine. All the circumstances of tiie ease
go to prove that lie tool; the morphine of
his own accord, and the report that it was
administered to him by mistake is utterly
groundless.
lie was an eraplyee of the Southwestern
ltailroad. and is said to have been laboring
under a depression of spirits.
He was known as rather a last young
man, and had his virtues as well as his
faults.— Journal and Messenger, 6th.
Mr. Beecher writes to this week’s
Ledger: ‘-Explain to me, if you can, Mr.
Bonner, why it is that so many young peo
ple are ashamed to have it tuouglit they
have no money ? or why is it that they are
ashamed of economy in the management
of slender means, and of frugality in liv
ing? There is no disgrace in being an
acorn before being an oak. Young people
frequently wish that they were grown men ;
but thejyire not ashamed of being young!
Mo one # ashamed to have it discovered
that his strength, knowledge and skill are
proportioned to liis Tears. But these same
persons will blush, and suffer shame, under
circumstances in which all the sensible
world knows that they ought to have
done!”
Death of Hev. Jxo. P. Campbell.—
This melancholy event, which had been
anticipated by his friends, took place yes
terday morning at S o’clock, at iiis resi
dence on Summer street. But a few days
ago lie was canvassing our streets in be
half of the Pacific Railroad. Though age
had set liis signet upon his brow, and
bleached his hair, none expected to be so
soon called upon to lament his death, lie was
for many years a citizen of Nashville, and
was ever foremost in promoting iier ad
vancement. He was a minister in the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church, and author
of a work of very considerable merit on
"Christian Union.” He leaves a large
family and many friends to mourn liis loss.
Nashville Union and Dispatch, iith.
US ' The Emperor of the French l:itely r
created Mr. Paul Dupont, proprietor of a
Paris printing establishment, an oliieer of
the Legion of Honor. A deputation from
the printing office waited on the Emperor
with an address ot thanks, signed by the
eleven hundred workmen employed. The
Emperor, in reply, said that the honor had
been conferred on Mr. Dupont because he
laid introduced into his establishment the
principle of co-operation, which tended to
create a unity ot interest between masters
and their operatives.
The Randolph Case.—a dispatch was
received from Selma yesterday, statin"
that the writ of habeas corpus in the Ran
dolph case had been admitted by the mili
tary authorities. The case with probably
come before Judge Busteed in this place in
a few days.— Montgomery Advertiser, 6th.
Abyssinian Slave Beauties.
From Sir Sarnual Baker’s “The Nile Tributaries
of Abyssinia.”
On my return to camp I visited the es
tablishments of the various slave mer
chants. These \ ere arranged under large
tents formed of matting, and contained
many young girls of extreme beauty, ran
ging from nine to sevnentcen years of age.
These lovely captives, of rich brown tint,
with delicately formed features and eyes
like those of the gazelle, were natives of
tiie Galla, on the borders of Abyssinia,
from which country they were brought by
the Abyssinian trailers, to he sold for the
Turkish harems. Although beautiful, these
gills are useless for hard labor; they quick
ly fade away and die unless kindly treated.
They are the Yenuses 01 that country, and
not only are their faces and figures per
fection, but they become extremely attach
ed to those who show them kindness, and
they make good and faithful wives.
There is something peculiarly captiva
ting in tiie natural grace and softness ot
these young beauties, whose hearts quickly
respond to those warmer feelings of love
that are seldom known among the sterner
and coarser tribes. Their forms are pecu
liarly elegant and graceful, the hands and
feet are exquisitely delicate, the nose is
generally slightly aquiline, the nostrils
largely and finely shaped; the hair is black
and glossy, reaching to about the middle ot
the back, but rattier coarse in texture.
These girls although natives of Galla, in
variably cali themselves Abysinians, and
are generally known under that denomina
tion. They are remarkably quick at learn
ing. At Keartouin, several of the Europe
ans of high standing have married these
charming ladies, who have invariably re
warded their husbands by great affection
and devotion. The price of these great
beauties of nature at Gallabat was from
twenty to forty dollars.
The Chief Justice—A New Danger to
the Radicals—The Warning Voice of
“Old Thad. Stevens.” —The radicals who
contend that the sunjand moon ought to
stand still till Andrew Johnson is removed
have been a little fluttered at the hint that
Chief Justice Chase, at the close of the ar
guments on both sides, may assume the
right to deliver a charge on' the law and
the testimony, according to the usage ol
all other courts in criminal cases. Mr.
■sumner’s resolution, providing that at tne
close of the arguments the Senate shall
proceed to vote on tiie several specifications
of the indictment “guilty” or “not guilty,”
it is supposed is aimed to head off the Cliff
J ustiee, and he may be headed off', lie lias
however, the whole case in his hands upon
this very issue, and lie may bring this mock
ery of i trial to an inglorious collapse by
taking- a firm position in behalfofhis rigiii
and duty as presiding judge to deliver tiie
usual charge t» the jury.
The Chief Justice, let us suppose, wili
claim this right, and let us further suppose
that to avoid any controversy with him
the Senate will concede it ; then, in order
to secure the ends of justice in delivering
his charge, lie lias only, first, to say that
such is the evidence and such is tiie law
submitted in this trial that the accused can
be convicted only upon presumptionftnd
that accordingly, in his opinion, the indict
ment ought to be quashed. Secondly, with
the refusal of the Senate to accept this
charge, the Chief Justice has only to sav
that a sense of duty requires him to retire
from tiie court, and tiie case at once col
lapses, because his presence as the presiding
officer is necessary to the validity of this
trial from the beginning to the end. With
liis retirement there wou'd be no way to
meet the difficulty; because, if Mr. Chase
should be impeached, tried, convicted and
removed for "hiirh crimes and mlst]emp,,u.
ors” in this matter, his successor as ('hiet
Justice would have to be appointed by
President Johnson and confirmed by the
Senate before the trial of Johnson could be
resumed. Under such a state of tilings, ill
short, the Chief Justice would be master ot
the situation, and Andrew Johnson could
quietly settle himself down to the adminis
tration of the functions of his office till
4th of March next.— N. Herald April 28.
The Impeachment.— The trial drags
heavily to-day. The feeling among Sen
ators is becoming so strong in favor of fin
ishing the trial that an effort will be made,
with prospect of success, to hold a session
this evening, should Mr. Stanbery not con
clude liis argument during this afternoon,
it was Mr. Bingham’s intention io have
had the commencement ofhis speech print
ed, but he lias changed his purpose, and he
will now speak altogether from notes.
Several heavy wagers were made here
yesterday on the final result of the im
peachment trial, the odds being about
three to one in favor of conviction.
When the impeachment Court assembled
to-day, the galleries were not one-quarter
filled, and very little interest was manifes
ted in the proceedings in that part ot the
Chamber. After the usual preliminary
proceedings, Mr. Stanbery continued hi's
argument, but had spoken only a few min
utes when he became exhausted and was
compelled to sit down.
Senator Beverdy Join on moved an ad
journment. in consequence of Mr. Stan
bery’s feebleness. Mr. Stanbery, however,
asked that an adjournment should not be
made, and, after pausing a few moments
to rest him elf and wipe his brow, he re
sumed his feet and went on for some ten
minutes, when he was again obliged to sit
down from exhaustion. Mr. Stanbery
again asked that there should be no ad
journment on his account. Mr. Sumner
suggested that someone else should read
the speech, and Mr. Stanbery then asked
that liis private secretary, Mr. W. F. I’ed
drick, might be allowed to read it, and that
gentleman, who is something of an elocu
tionist, proceeded to read it in tones so
distinct that some thought it a matter ol
regret that he had not been engaged to
read all the speeches of the trial.
From the progress made in the reading
up to two, P. M., it is quite certain that it
will be concluded this afternoon. — Wash

In Bad Luck. —Henry Fyall, a negro
Representative elect from Macon county
is now in jail at Oglethorpe, for perjury
It seems that Fyall had been a resident of
Bibb county until a few days before the
election, lie wont down to Macon county
and announced himself as a candidate.
When lie walked up to vote for himself, a
citizen challenged him as a non-resident.
He forthwith took the oatli and voted.
Immediately after the election he was ar
rested and imprisoned. And this is a sam
ple of the men to be sent to our Legisla

Col. Forryth, in a late letter to the Mobile
Advertiser, says the Democrats of the
North have lirmly resolved, if necessary
“to inaugurate, at the point of the bayonet,

of tiie white men of the United States.” Il
such is their determination, we can only
give them the advice of Sumner to Stan

AV EEKLY SOU T HERN OPINION.
.loan Stillings’ “Animated Nature,»>
tiie croiv.
Next t o the monkey, the crow has the
most deviltry to spare. They arc born very
wild, kan be tamed nz easy nz the goat kail,
but a tame crow is aktualiy worse than a
sore thumb.
If there is ciinytliiiig about the house that
they kant get into, it iz because the thing
aint big enuf. I had rather watch a (iisS
trikt skool than one tame crow. Crows
l.ve on what they can steal, and they wili
steal ennytbing that aint tied down.
They are fond ov meat vittles, and are
tiie first to hold an inquest over a depart
ed hoss or a still sheen. They are a fine
bird tew hunt, but a hard one to kill; they
can see y u 2 miles first, and will smell a
gun right thro the side of n mountain.
They are not songstirs. aillio thee have
a good voice to cultivate; but what they
do sing they seem to understand thorough
ly ; long praetiss has made them perfekt.
The crow is a tuff bird, and kan stand
the heat like a blacksmith, and cold like a
stun wall.
They buikl their nest among a tree, and
lay twice, and both eggs would hatch out
if they were laid in a snow bank; t ier
aint. no such thing as stopping a young
crow.
Crows are very lengthy. I beleave they
live always. 1 never knew one to die a
nat nil doth, and don't beleave they know
now.
They are always thin in flesh, and arc
like an old inj un-rubber shew —poor inside
and out.
They are not considered fine eating, al
t.lio i have read somewhere uv bileil crow,
but still I never heard uv the same man
hankering for some bileil crow 2 times.
This essa on the crow is copied from na
tur, and if it is true, 1 aint to blame for it:
untilr made the crow. I didn’t; il i had, i
would have made her more honest and not
quite so Miff.
HENS.
leads me to remark, in the fust place, that
thus far they are a suckcest.
They are domestic, and occasionally are
tuff.
Tliis i owing to their not being bileil
enuff in their younger daze; hut the hen
aint tew blame for ihis.
Bileil lien is universally respected.
There iz a great deal of originality tew
in the lien —exactly how much i kant tell,
historians fight so much about it. Sum say
Knower had hens with him in the ark, and
some say lie didn’t. So it goes, which and
tlltlier.
I kant tell yu which was born fust, the
lieu or the egg; sometimes I think the egg
wuz. and sometimes 1 think i don’t kno,
and I kant tell now which iz right for the
life f me.
Laying eggs is tiie hen’s best grip.
A iien that kant lay eggs—iz laid out.
One egg is considered a fair day’s work
for a lien. I iiav herd of their doing better,
but 1 don't want a lien ov mine tew do it—
it is apt tew hurt theireonstirution ad by
laws, and thus impair their future worth.
The poet sez, beautifully :
“Sumbodv has stole our blew hen;
i wish tile; N1 let her oeu.
She ti ed to lay i eggs a lay,
Aral Sundays she laid 3.”’
This sounds new'enuff for poetry, but I
will bet 75 thousand dollars that it never
took place.
This bet stands open till the 17th daj' ov
next November till half-past 12 o’clock.
The Trial of Jeff. Davis. —Statements
have been extensively circulated that the
trial of Ji ff. Davis is likely to conn; off’ at
ihe next term of the District Court at
Richmond. There is no ground for the
belief that such will he the case, it is true
that Mr 11 i i.nimr. id A-.-o
ago. held some conversations about the
probabilities of aa early trial, but il is also
true that neither knew nor learned any
thing definite. This ease is dependent
upon matters beyond tiie control of Davis’
counsel or the District Attorney. The
question of further continuance must be
decided by the Attorney General for the
President, who may be in office at that
rime. It is not likely that Mr. Browning,
on the part of Mr. Joh son. will take the
responsibility of having trial proceed, if
the question of the President's retention or
removal should still be pending before the
Senate, and should Mr. Johnson go out oi
office, it will readi y be seen that the course
of action which will be determined on by
his successor can only be a subject of
guesswork. That so important a trial
should not lie proceeded with in the first
weeks of the new President’s incumbency
seems to he generally agreed, even if the
excitement of a Presidential canvass and
the necessary reconstruction of the various
departments of the Government do not
make it n inconvenient time to attend to
the trial of a State criminal.
£3? The famine in the French colony of
Algeria is accompanied by the most horri
ble cases of tne sacrifice of human beings
to the ravenous hunger of the survivors.
One incident recalls vividly to mind the
account given in Scripture of the seige of
Samaria by the King ot Syria. Two wo
men of the same Arab tribe, having eacli a
child, and being unable to obtain from any
source, agreed to devour tiie two little
ones. Lots were drown, and tiie first vic
tim and lly consumed. When it became the
turn of tiie other mother to surrender her
child, she refused to fulfil her part of the
compact, and tiie disputes wlißfs took place
in consequence brought tiie whole affair to
light. Again, there are pretty well au
thenticated instances in which French sol
diers have been murdered and eaten by
Arabs, who, in addition, are constantly at
tacking each other and tiie negroes to pro
cure corpses for food. The French news
papers are filled with details of these
shocking atrocities, and they declare that
the two millions of francs recently voted
by tiie Legislature is altogether insuffi
cient to relieve the famine.
A Case in Point. —The New York Her
ald has a wicked “joke on Murphy.” There
was a man before an Irish jury on his trial
for murder. It was a bull of a trial; for
the defense produced in court, alive and
well, the man who was said to have been
killed. But the trial went on, and the jury
went out; and, not to be daunted by any
such little fact as the presence alive of tiie
mail who sliould have been dead, they
brought the prisoner in guiltv. “How’s
this?” says the Judge; “there has been no
murder; the man is alive in court.” “Weil,
your Honor,” said the foreman, “the jury
is convinced that the prisoner did not mur
der this man; but he is a dangerous per
son. lam sure he killed my gray mare,
and we believe that hanging him is neces
sary to the peace of the country.” That
Irish jury, says the moral of the Herald’s
story, is sitting in the chamber of the Unit
ed States Senate. It has tried a man on
certain charges. He is proved not guilty
of the charges, but it is proposed to con
demn him all the same, and this is radical
law and radical justice.

General Albert Sidney Joliiiston.
To the Editors of the Louisville Journal:
While rambling through the cemeteries
of New Orleans recently, I suddenly came
upon the last resting place of General Al
bert Sidney Johnston, on whose tomb,
pasted upon a rough board, I found the fol
lowing expressive inscription. Every at
tempt to discover its author has been vain
ly made. Here is the beautiful epitaph
copied verbatim:
INMEMO K I A M :
Behind this stone is laid,
For a season.
ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON,
A General in the army of the Confederate
Stateq
Who fell at Shiloh, Tennessee.
On the sixth day of April, A. D.
Eighteen hundred and sixty-two:
A man tried in many high offices
And critical enterprises.
Arid found faithful in all.
His life was one long sacrifice of interest
to conscience:
And even that life, onawoful Sabbath,
Did lie yield as a holocaust to his country's
need.
Not whiffy understood was he while lie
lived;
But, in his death, liis greatness stands con
fess’d in a people’s tears.
Resolute, moderate, clear of envy, yet not
wanting
In that finer ambition which makes men
great and pure.
In liis honor—impregnable;
In his simplicity, sublime.
No country ever had a truer son—no cause
a nobler champion;
No people a bolder defender—no principle
a purer victim
Than the dead soldier
Who sleeps here!
The cause for which he perished is lost—
The people for whom he fought is crushed—
Tiie hopes in which he trusted are shat
tered—
The flag lie lov’d guides no more the
charging lines;
But his fame, consigned to the keeping of
that time, which,
Happily, is not so much the tomb of Virtue
as its shrine,
Shull, in years to conic, tire modest worth
to noble ends.
In honor, now. our great Captain rests;
A bereaved people mourn him;
Three Common wealths prondly claim him;
And history shall cherish him
Among those choicer spirits, who holding
their conscience unmix'd with blame,
Have been in all conjunctures, true to
themselves, their country and their God.
