A Novel Inauraiice Came.
We notice reported the following novel insur
ance case decided in Missouji. The question
arose upoh the following facts proved: A build
ing is insured against loss by fire. It falls down,
being heavily overloaded with merchandise; the
lull occasions a lire, which destroys the fallen ma
terial. Query—is the insurance company liable?
The court decided that the building insured hav
ing fallen, ceased to exist sis such, and that it
ceased to exist by reason of a peril not insured
against, and hence that the company was not
liable.
Tlie Laivjern’ Tent Oath.
Judge Underwood, of the United States Court
at Kichmond, decliued on the 5th inst. to give
a decision on the question as to the right of law
yers to practice in that court without taking tlm
oath prescribed by Congress, lie is reported to
have said that “he knew it to be in contempla
tion by some of the most radical men in Con
gress to repeal tire disqualifying act of January,
1804, and was of the opinion that the act would
be repealed before the adjournment of the pres
ent Congress. Its repeal had been strongly
urged upon Congsess by a majority of the Su
preme Court. Inasmuch as this question had
been very ably argued before the Supreme
Court of the United States, lie felt great delicacy
in undertaking to go lather than to simply ac-
quicsee in whatever course the gentlemen of
the bar were disposed to take. There would he
no departure from the usual course on the part
of this court, unless an objection should be made,
but he hoped that no objection would be made
at this time, believing that the act would soon
be repealed.”
The law prescribing the oath ior lawyers
practicing in the United States Courts was de
clared unconstitutional by Judge Trigg, oi the
United States District Courts for Tennessee
more than a year ago. It has since been de
clared unconstitutional by Judges of the United
Slates Courts in Louisiana, Alabama, and
Georgia. The question of the constitutionality
of the lawyers test oath was argued betore the
Supreme Court ot the United States at its bite
session, and it seems to be pretty well under
stood that a majority of the Justices arrived at
tlie conclusion that the law prescribing the oath
is unconstitutional. It was understood to be a
knowledge of this fact that induced Thad. Stevens
to favor a repeal of the law, and now Judge
Underwood tells that “he knew it to be in con
templation l)}’ some of the most radical men in
Congress to repeal the disqualifying act,” and lie
felt sure it would be done before Congress ad
journed. It is thus the obnoxious laws passed
by the Radicals are being got rid of. Whenever
they are subjected to the test of the courts
their unconstitutionality is declared. This
course should be pui-sued with the laws of botii
Congress and the State Legislatures, and we
shall soon get rid ot law intended to favor the
few to the exclusion ot the many.—Nashville
Dispatch.
1 r re prenal bio.
Late devolpments seem to indicate that the
“pretty waiter-girls” of New York are more
than a match for the Legislature of the Empire
State and Metropolitan Police combination. The
Legislature tried to put them down by interdic
ting refreshments at places of public entertain
ment, and the “ waiter-girls” instantly changed
their base to free concert saloons, and evaded the
law. The Excise Commissioner next thought
to squelch them by refusing to grant license to
places where females were kept us “ waiters.”—
Yet the “ pretty waiter-girl” still lives, adapting
herself to circumstances ; lias taken the temper
ance pledge, and now openly deties police Super
intendent Kennedy. In other words, the “pretty-
waiter girls’’ saloons on Broadway have decided
to keep open and sell ice-creams, cordials, soda,
pastry, fruit, cigars, etc. At the “ Metropolitan,”
the “ Oriental, and the “Zouave,” the leading
concerns of this kind in New York, a bountiful
supply of these things were retailed on Saturday
night. The Herald says: Another new feature
is the dressing of all the lady waiters alike. In
one of the saloons they appear in white dresses
every other evening, and in black alternate
nights. On Saturday evening they all appeared
in their new costumes, no low neck dresses being
allowed. All the saloons were crowded on Sat
urday night and did a thriving business, the
Oriental keeping open till near two o’clock. Ev
ery thing in the eating line was disposed of, and
fully :is much soda and sarsaparilla dispensed as
when liquor was sold. In tact the receipts of
two or three of these places exceeded those of
anv night when they disposed of liquor.
The" exasperated police authorities appear to
be fairly outwitted in their efforts to breakup the
“pretty-waiter girls” system, and will have to
wait until next January .betore they can make
another strike at them through the Legislature.
Peeresses Conducting Banking Opera
tions.—Two of the richest bankers in Loudon,
a tew years ago were peeresses, namely, the
Duchess of St. Albans and the Countess of Jer
sey—the latter as the heiress of old Josiah Child,
constituting the principal partner ot the Child
banking house. Both ladies were at one time
said to be in the habit of paying periodical visits
to their respective establishments and are said to
have been distiuguised for the affability and
good sense with which they sustained their
positions, inspected the books, and entered into
general business details. But this report was
true, and that in part, only of the late Duchess
of St. Albans. She was peculiarly fond ot
showing herself at the hank in the Strand, and
putting question to the partners and clerks, with
whom she was no favorite—being in truth some
what of a bore. Lady Jersey, as the representa
tive of Sir Josiah Child’s interest, only attends
the bank once a year, when the accounts are bal
anced and the profits struck. On this occasion
the partners dine together at the bauk, and the
Countess, as the principal partner, takes the head
of the tabic. This lady’s connection with the
concern lias the following history: Tile last Mr.
Child left an only daughter, who was the heiress
of his great wealth, and was married to the Earl
of Westmoreland; the eldest daughter of that
marriage was the present Coutess of Jersey, to
whom the grandfather’s interest in the bank de
scended.
New York, June 15.
A dare say you think we are dreadfully alarm
ed about cholera. Certainly, some of our news
papers are doing their best to get up a scare of
that sort. But fact and fates are against them.
We have not yet bad a single case of real epi
demic cholera in New York. Four or five deaths
from common sporadic cholera have set the
health physicians to believing that the pestilence
has made a breach in our sanitary defenses, and
they are trying very hard to cram their belief
down our throats. But it is no go. We are
most provokingly obtuse on the cholera question
We persistently refuse to be enlightened. We
won’t ljelieve that we have any cholera; and
what’s more, we can’t believe that it is going to
hurt us much even if it should drop in upon us
during the hot months. We have very good
sanitary regulations. New York is clean. The
statement may be too strong for stomachs already
nauseated with stories about our horrible filthi
ness, but it is quite true. Positively, New York
is clean. The streets are clean, the houses—ex
cept in a few such localities as the Five Points,
where absolute cleanliness is impossible—are
creditably clean, and personal cleanliness is held
in remarkable high appreciation. If cleanliness
be godliness we much abused Gothamites have
at least some reason to hope for salvation.
Long paragraphs being au abomination to
cheerful readers, I will break off these and touch
the cholera question on another side. The dis
ease in its present form among the emigrants is
not half so viruleut as we thought it would be.
Ten days ago there were over a hundred patients
under treatment on the hospital boat. To-day
the number is not over forty-five. The death
rate lias not been large. Over three lourtlis of
the sick have recovered. A few new eases occur
each day, but the number is steadily diminish
ing. And, mind, all the circumstances where
the disease exits are favorable to its special de
velopment. Two or three thousand emigrants,
with cholera poison still in their clothing and
baggage, are huddled together in badly ventilated
ships. If they could be taken ashore, they would
not be half so likely to become cholera victims.
But they cannot be taken ashore. There is no
place for them. The Health Board found a place
hist week, but one of our courts issued an in
junction restraining them from using it. If
another cholera ship should arrive, and fifty
or a hundred emigrants should die because
they cannot receive proper treatment, I wonder
if that court will take the responsibility.
You would be surprised to know bow we have
taken to the study of medicine since cholera be
gan to be talked about. Up to this time we have
not got beyond familiarity with queer words, but
that is good for a beginning. We can say “pro
phylactic” without any trouble at all, and w’e
talk about “zymotic” diseases as familiarly as we
ivould about measles. Before the cholera kills
us we will be pretty thoroughly versed in the
therapeutic dictionary.
Just as if it wasn’t enough to try to scare us
iibout cholera, some one has been getting up a
story about the rinderpest. We have not had
any rinderpest; we have nothing of the sort now,
and we don’t want to have any. Some unfortu
nate catlle penned up in horrible stables in New
York and Brooklyn have been giving up the
ghost—if they ever possessed a ghost, of which,
1 may observe, there is some doubt—and some
body said the rinderpest had broken out and was
creating dreadful havoc. Then the telegraph in
formed us that the President of the State Agri
cultural society had officially announced the ap
pearance of the rindepest in New York, and I
suppose the telegraph informed you to the same
effect. Now, the telegraph is a notorious falsifier.
Y r ou can no more believe it than you can under
stand the politics of Henry J. Raymond. What
it said about the rinderpest was about as true as
General Butler’s announcement that he had found
the key to Richmond. The President of the Ag
ricultural Society did not say that the rinderpest
had broken out in New York, but he did say that
pneunomonia had appeared here, and that was
perfectly true. Pneumonia is bad enough, but
it is not so bad as the rinderpest, and so far as
the knowledge of the Agricultural Society officers
extends, the latter disease bas not yet appeared
in any part of the country. I marvel that the
telegraph will continue telling lies, but it is very
hard to give up bad habits.
The Radicals don’t mean to lose any time iu
getting the Constitutional amendments ratified.
Tlie Governor of Pennsylvania bas been corre
sponding with the Governors of other States,
requesting them to convene the Legislatures of
their respective States before the adjournment of
Congress, for the special purpose of ratifying the
amendments embodied in the reconstruction
scheme, and it is said his suggestion will be
adopted. This is a very “nice little game” of
Govenor Curtin’s, but it may be spoiled. If the
precedent established in the case of the ratifica
tion of the amendments abolishing slavery be
followed, the new amendments cannot be ratified
without the consent of several Southern States.
Three-fourths of all tlie States were considered
necessary to tlie ratification of tlie abolition
amendment, and it is rather hard to see how a
different course can be taken now. Y ou remem
ber the Secretary of State did not announce the
ratification of that amendment until the South
ern States had voted upon it. If their votes
were necessary to make that amendment valid, I
do not see why. they should not be equally ne
cessary iu the present case. Of course the South
ern States will not vote for tlie reconstruction
amendments. No one expects them to do that.
The President and Mr. Seward are already com
mitted to tlie recognition of the necessity ot the
Southern States voting ou Constitutional amend
ments, and unless they are willing to completely
stultify themselves, they will defeat Governor
Curtiu’s little game. We have some hope that
they will stand by their precedent, but Seward
cannot be trusted.
Tlie Fenian war is all over. Canada, we see,
is afraid to withdraw all her troops from the bor
der, but if she thinks there is danger of another
attack, she is greatly mistaken. The Fenians,
from leader to drummer, have given up the late
movement in toto. But they have not given up
the cause. President Roberts bas issued two
proclamations, one advising the Fenians to re
turn to their homes and usual avocations, and
the other asking them to stand true to the cause.
The organization is to be maintained. A few of
those who went to the border are discouraged by
the complete failure of the movement, and will
probably give up Fanianism altogether, but the
majority are more determined to stick to it now
than they were before they went north with Gen
eral Sweeny. And many who, before the move
ment, refused to have anything to do with Fe-
nianism, now give it their hearty support. I
have just seen a private letter from an Irish mer
chant in St. Louis. I heard him say a few mouths
ago that the whole thing was a humbug, but late
events seem to have changed his mind, for in this
letter he says : “Tell Roberts to keep up tlie or
ganization: I will give *300 a year to sup
port it.” The organization will be maintain
ed and improved. Many members will drop ofl,
but all the better class of Fenians say they will
stick to it and make it more powerful thau it ever
was.
Theft is a mania with some people. They
must steal. It is not long since I heard of a
wealth}- New Yorker who annually paid a cer
tain dry goods merchant over two thousand dol
lars for goods stolen by his wife. The woman
visited the merchant’s store every day, and hard
ly ever left without stealing something. Her
husband knew this, and fried to break her of the
habit, but to no avail. She could not help steal
ing. The merchant also knew it, and as her
passion for theft could not lie conquered, it was
arranged that she should be watched, and that
such articles as she purloined should be charged
Cholera and Rumor, of Cholera-Tl.e Cattle Disease-No j throu & h ^' enl - vears . and ^ husband regularly
Rinderpest—Governor Curtin’* Little Game—About the j ^ or goods stolen by bis wife. An inci
dent that occurred yesterday at Stewart’s dry
goods store brought this case to my mind. A
woman, seventy years of aye, was arrested for
stealing a piece of silk while the clerk who was
serving her had his back turned. Just think of
a woman of that age being a shop-lifter. Cer
tainly she must have been at the business a great
many years, perhaps half a century, for it is sel
dom that one becomes depraved after thirty.—
She had contracted a passion for stealing, and
must be gratified.
A great many fire annihilators have been in
vented, but I have never known even one to be
a complete success. An experiment with the
latest invention of this kind was made here yes
terday. The contrivance consists of a number
of pipes leading through the building, and at
tached to the ceiling. These pipes are perfora
ted, so that when a steam fire engine is applied
to the street pipe, a tremendous shower of water
is thrown through the building, completely de
luging the floors, and extinguishing any fire be
low the ceiling. This “ annihilator” may come
into use in large buildings, but as it must be per
manently fixed in the building in which it is to
be used, it is not likely to be of general advan
tage.
Great anxiety is felt for the safety of the clip
per ship, Monarch of the Seas, which sailed on
the 22d of March from Liverpool with over sev
en hundred emigrant passengers. She is now
forty days over-due, and nothing has been heard
of her since she left Liverpool. C.

Debts Due by the Government to Citizens
of the South.
Some days since one of our merchants, who
held accounts against the Government, contract
ed by the General in command of the United
State troops stationed here, sent one of them
on to the proper department at Washington for
payment. Tlie account was properly authenti
cated, the receipt lor the articles by the com
manding General being attached.
It was returned without payment, with the fol
lowing endorsement: “ This account having
arisen in North Carolina, a State in insurrection
prior to the suppression of the rebellion, this de
partment, under tlie existing law and decisions
governing it, cannot approve it for payment un
til Congress by appropriate legislation shall pro
vide therefor.”
The following order from the War Department
was quoted to sustain this decision of the depart
ment :
“ War Department,
“ Adjutant General’s Office.
“ Washington, November 27, 1865.
“ Circular, No. 51.
“ ‘The following opinion of the Chief of the
Bureau of Military Justice upon the second and
third sections ot the act of Congress approved
July 4, 18G4, restricting the jurisdiction of the
Court of Claims, is published for tlie information
of all concerned :—
‘To justify the action contemplated by the
second and third sections of act of July 4, 1864,
not only must tlie claimant be a loyal citizen but
the claim also must originate in a loyal State—
tlie words ‘claims of loyal citizens in States not
in rebellion’ being regarded as descriptive alike
ot claim and claimant. How lar claims con
nected with the suppression of the rebellion aris
ing in disloyal States, then at open war with the
Government, will be allowed, is a question so
complicated with political and other consider
ations proper for the determination of Congress,
that it is believed tlie executive 'administration
should not assume to act on such claims with
out the clearest authority conferred by law. It
is not supposed to have been the intention of
Congress to bestow such authority by the act re
ferred to this Bureau for construction.’
“ By order of the Secretary of War:
“ E. D. Townsend,
“ Assistant Adjutant General.”
It will thus be seen that persons in “ disloyal ”
States, cannot recover claims against the Gov
ernment, although contracted for and certified to,
by the military commanders for supplies furnish
ed to the aimies of the United States, until
Congress shall provide therefor by appropriate
legislation. The tone and temper of the present
Congress towards the “ disloyal ” South, pre
cludes “ loyal ” and “ disloyal ” citizens alike
from looking to that quarter for relief.
We had supposed that the General command
ing had the right to purchase]supplies for Ills army,
and where a citizen had been pardoned by the
amnesty proclamation of tlie President, or by
special lenity since, was sufficiently purged of
his “ treason ” to make a contract with a Gov
ernment agent. Possibly the demands on the
Treasury by tlie wealthy sliodd} contractors ot
the late war, leave but little margin to pay the
honest accounts of our impoverished people.—
The honor of the Government, even in matters
of its indebtedness, must be prostituted to radi

Colored Testimony in Practice.—The Cir
cuit Court of this county has recently concluded
the trial of a suit for damages instituted by Thos.
Hodge, a colored barber of this city, against Mr.
W. W. Craig, of the railroad omnibus line. The
verdict ot the jury awarded the plaintiff one
thousand dollars for the injuries sustained by him
in the careless driving of one of the defendant’s
vehicles. We have no opening regarding tlie
justice of this decision, for we have no accurate
knowledge of the circumstances. Our object is
to call attention to the fact that it was the suit of
a colored man against a white one, and that tlie
witnesses for plaintiff, with the exception of the
surgeons, were men of his own color. The trial
was conducted in accordance with the recent law
of the State admitting colored evidence. We
are assured that the witnesses deposed clearly
and intelligibly, and, that in every respect, both
they and the plaintiff demeaned themselves with
propriety. The judge, the jury, and the attor
neys administered the law and the rules of the
court witli scrupulous impartiality, and the ver
dict of twelve white men awarded the man of
the other race, upon testimony given by men of
the same race, the even-handed justice—no more
and no less—that they would have given to a
suitor of their own race.
If some of the people of this country whose
crauiums seem to contain but one idea could
have witnessed this whole trial, they might come
to learn that the civil rights of men of color, are
as secure under the laws of Tennessee, adminis
tered by her own citizens, as they can be in the
bauds of the army of commissioners and inform
ers, which the officious and unconstitutional leg
islation ot Congress proposes to commit them to.

Heavy Imports.
New York, Jane 17.—The imports for the
past w r eek exceed seven millions, of which there
were four millions of sugar, tea and coffee.
The Gold Excitement.
The excitement in the Gold Room has been
intense for several days past. Four or five 01
the heaviest stock speculators have lost fortunes
in that line by throwing their money and influ
ence against the rise. A Loudon letter to a
banking firm in this city says the specie arrivals
are an immense thing for American ciedit. The
amount sent from America is everywhere ad
□fitted to have prevented a general bankruptcy
in England. The letters to other banking houses
in this city are very much to the same effect.
Swindling Operations.
Harrisburg, Pa., June 17.—The Petroleum
Bank of Titusville and Venango, and the Bank
at Franklin, have instituted action against the
Ex-Auditor Isaac Henker, and through him
against the State of Pennsylvania, for the recov
ery of one million and a quarter of United
States securities deposited with the Auditor Gen
eral as a security for a circulating medium foi
those banks. The facts as stated are these: The
firm of Culver, Penn & Co. were in the habit of
taking notes of tlie Venango and Petroleum
Banks for circulation at the Auditor General’s
office, where they received a like amount of
bonds for that which they presented in notes. It
is alleged that the parties thus receiving these
were neither agents nor officers of the bank, and
the bonds, instead of being sent to the officers of
said bank, were taken to New York and hypoth
ecated by Culver, Penn & Co. It is alleged
that it was without tlie authority ot the banks,
and that it is embezzlement for which the Audi
tor General is responsible. AVarrants have been
issued, and the officers are now in Venango
county to arrest the parties implicated in the
transaction. The condition of the banks is now
in course of official investigation.

“Colored Persons”—Who They Are.
Tlie New York Tribune objects to the term
“ colored person ” as assumed by or applied to
the late slave population of the Southern States.
It says it is only applicable to those of mixed
blood, and that the full-blooded black is a negro,
nothing more or less.
The Tribune has given sufficient attention to
the subject to be regarded as authority, and is
led into the following disquisition in relation to
it:—Nashville Union & American.
As to the word “ colored ” itself, it is used, re
marks Greeley, throughout the whole of the
West Indies, to denote persons of the mixed race
—that is, partly Caucassian and partly African—
whatever the shade of their complexion, from
the fair mesclafina to the dark mulatto, but is
never applied, as in America, to the fulj-hipoded
black. Nor, in popular parlance, is the term
negro ever applied to any but tlie pure blacks.
The colored people of the AVest Indies are di
vided, as regards shades of complexion, into four
classes, according to the proportion in which the
blood of the original races from which they
spring is mingled in their veins. These classes
are known as mulattoes, quadroons, mestes and
tnesdqfinas.
The offspring of the Caucasian and the Afri
can is called mulatto ; of the Caucasian and the
mulatto a quadroon; of the Caucasian and the
quadroon a mestee, and of the Caucasian and
the mestee a mesclafina. To speak more cor
rectly, the proportion of blood—Caucasian or
African, whatever may be the parentage, desig :
nated by these several grades, determines tlie
category in which the individual is placed. In
the case of the mesclafina, so feint is the tinge
of African blood, that he is generally regarded
as white. In some oi the English colonies he
was formerly held as (legally) entitled to the
privileges of a white man; hence the expression,
now obsolete, “ white by law.”
Serious Difficulty in Clay.—We are pain
ed to learn that a serious difficulty occured in
Clay county, near Ft. Gaines on Friday last, in
which Mr. Gus. Cone, Sheriff of that county,
was severely, prehaps mortally wounded, and
a freedman killed. The circumstances, as we
learn them, are, that the freedman had become
unruly and was ordered to report to the Bureau,
but refused to do so. Mr. McLendon, Agent for
that county v instructed Mr. Cone to bring him
to town. Upon arriving where the negro was,
Mr. Cone told him that he must go with him,
whereupon the negro suddenly drew a knife
and made a terrible assault upon Mr. C., cutting
him until he fell to the ground. The negro was
immediately shot dead. Mr. Cone had but re
cently entered upon the discharge of his duties.

From Washington.
Washington, June 18.—Senate—Mr. Harris
presented the petition of seven New York banks
asking for an extension of time on tax on circu
lation. It was referred to the Finance Commit
tee.
The President in response to to a resolution
from the Senate, transmitted a communication
from the acting Secretary of the Interior to that
body respecting his transactions in regard to the
colonization, &c., of negroes. The report was
made March 7,1864, showing that upwards of
$33,000 had been expended, which was aug
mented hv a supplementary report to $37,391.
The report further says the act oi 1862, under
which this was done was subsequently repealed,
and no other measure of a similar character has
since been passed by Congress.
House.—Mr. Stevens offered a joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the Constitution
giving Congress power to levy an export duty
on cotton. He refused to allow a debate, and
pressed the measure to a vote, hoping to have it
passed by a two-thirds vote. The resolution was
rejected—yeas, 59; nays, 61.
Mr. Bingham offered a resolution, which was
passed, requesting the President to transmit
the Reconstruction Committee’s Constitutional
Amendment, lately adopted by Congress, to the
several States for ratification.
Mr. Raymond, of New York, delivered a long
speech on reconstruction, declaring himself a
faithful and consistent member of the Republi
can party, yet defending tlie President.
The State Department has bet n officially noti
fied bv American Consul at Havana, that Ler-
sundi, the new Captain General of Cuba, ex
presses himself determined to suppress the traf
fic in slaves. He notifies his subordinate Lieu
tenant-Governors that he will hold them to a
strict accountability for any violation of his or
ders in this respect, which are from the Queen.
The Senate’s Finance Committee reported a
tax bill reducing the tax on cotton to two cents
per pound.^^^^^^^^^
A Curious California Story.—A late issue
of the Napa County (Cal.) Register has a singu
lar story:
A family residing in the Napa valley has
within a few years past lost five of its members
by death. By some curious coincidence a friend
residing in San Francisco has, at each decease,
been on a visit to the family, and the fact
has been so remarkable as to attract notice, and,
in the minds of some, create a superstitious
dread of him. The year following the third
death, tlie gentleman paid a visit to the family,
and the lady of the house said in. a jocular man
ner on first accosting him, “What misfortune do
you now bring ?”
Apparently in good health at the time, in
an hour after she was a corpse. Recently he
paid his accustomed annual visit, and a daugh-
ter-in-law, who had been lingering with con
sumption for some time, died soon after his ar
rival. No blame is attached to him as an in
strument in causing these deaths, yet that a sin
gular fatality to the family has been attendant
upon his periodical visits is most remarkable. In
Italy the superstitious people would believe him
to possess the fatal gift of the “Evil Eye.”
«
A Lady, a regular shopper, who had an un
fortunate assistant look over all the stockings in
the house, objected that none were long enough.
“ I want the longest hose that are made.” “Then
madam,” was the reply, “ you’d bettter apply to
the next engine house,”
The Soul’s Oasis.
Au oasis lies in the desert of years
That never loses its green.
And often watered by memory's tears.
Are the burial grounds of joys and fears.
With rich violet turf between.
Through that emerald spot the waters roll
That were quaffed in my boyhood’s dav.
When a merry chime, aot a funeral toll.
Rang out in the belfry of my soul.
And life seemed an endless May.
A summer lodge in that place of bloom.
Far off in the desolate waste.
Is enwreathed with roses of rare perfume,
And portraits nang in an inner room
By no mortal pencil traced.
They need not repair at the hands of Art.
For their colors will vanish never;
And with flash of eye and beat of heart
Loved forms from enchanted frameworks start.
And whisper—“ We perish never!”
In that oasis, so sweet and lone.
Begirt by the wild, gray sand.
From a lucid lake, with silvery zone.
Comes music sweeter than Ariel’s own.
That was heard by Ferdinand.
Old favorite airs that were sung so well
By lips that in youth I kissed.
Weave round me a weird, bewitching spelt.
While my heart is warmed to its inmost cell,
And mine eyes grow dim with mist.
In the solemn hush of the quiet night
My spirit oft wanders thither.
And I talk with the sainted, in robes of white,
In that beautiful land of bloom and light,
Where the blossoms grow not to wither.
Bushwhacking and Rascality.—We are
informed that a gang of thieves and robbers were
taken in the edge of North Carolina last week
very unexpectedly to themselves. A Mrs. Gar
rett, living about 6 miles from Warm Springs,
has been visited and robbed fourteen or fifteen
times since the. war commenced. Last week a
gang of ten persons made a descent upon her
premises, compelling the servants to hitch up
the oxen, and the rascals loaded two wagons
with the furniture and property. Just as they
were about leaving a man happened to pass,
who saw what was being done, and pushed
forward about two miles when he met a squad of
soldiers who happened to be passing through
that region and informed them. They came
back, surrounded the house and captured nine
out of the ten who were engaged in the robbing.
Four of the scoundrels were Tennesseans, and
two of the gang proved to be women in men’s
clothing. Tlie prospects are, they will be tried
and hanged. Mrs. Garrett is a very worthy
widow lady. We trust all such gangs will share
the same fate.—Knoxville Commercial.

Singular Case of Somnambulism.—A few
weeks ago a young man residing in Davenport,
England, lost a diamond ring, and retired to bed
much troubled about bis loss. In the middle oi
tlie night lie arose from his bed and went out, un
dressed, and in a somnambulic state, to search
for the ring, and returned with it on his finger.
On being awakened he stated that he dreamed
that he slept, and in that sleep dreamed where
the ring was to be found. On awakening as lie
supposed, he proceeded in his sleep to the spot
indicated in Ills dream, found tlie ring and re
turned with it to the house, to be awakened out
of his double dream, but with his lost property
regained.
The Indian Convention.—We learn from
the Colorado Register that it is expected that
twenty-five or thirty thousand Indians will be
in attendance at the Indian Convention being
held this month at Fort Laramie. We trust
that such will be the case, and that the Govern
ment thus having an opportunity to confer
with so many red skins, will not fail to impress
upon them tlie fact that it intends to treat them
kindly and justly, and at the same time to hold
them to a strict accountability for any atrocities
committed. The Register reports that the over
land stages are again being molested by the
wandering tribes.
Gen. John A. McClernand.—General John
A. McClernand, of Illinois, will speak to the
people of Missouri, during the coming canvass,
upon tlie national questions at issue before the
people. He will prove a match for Governor
Oglesby, who has abandoned his official duties
as Governor of Illinois, to stump the State in
support of Radicalism in Missouri.

Liverpool Cotton Circular.
w. c. watts a co.’s weeklt report.
Liverpool, Jnne 1,1866.— Colton—In onr report of Fri
day, 25th ultimo, the estimated stock was given at 1,005,-
330 hales; and we then quoted middling American almost
nominal at ll%d. to 12%d. On Saturday advices were re
ceived from New York, reporting a small advance in
cotton, decreased receipts at the ports, and considerable
shipments of coin to this side, which gave more tone to
the market; prices were steadier, but did not advance.
On Monday the suspension of a large London Bank
checked the upward tendency of the market, bnt a fair
business was done at firm prices. On Tuesday advices
from New York to the 19th ultimo were received, report
ing a fnrther advance in cotton, continued light receipts
at Southern ports, gloomy prospects for the growing crop,
and additional large shipments of coin to this side. The
result was a more active demand, and American improved
about %d. On Wednesday a very large business was
done, and partly, it is supposed, on American account.
Prices for American improved %d. to Id., and other de
scriptions %d. to %d. Yesterday the market was not so
excited, bnt there was a good trade demand, and Ameri
can again advanced about %d. To-day buyers have been
holding off, awaiting later American news, bnt a lair bu
siness has been done, and prices fully maintained. Since
the close of busineiss advices from New York to the 23d
nltimo have come to hand, reporting a further advance in
cotton, and enormous shipments of coin, which will no
donbt have a favorable influence on the market to-mor
row.
The sales of the week sum np 86,100 bales, of which
63.970 were taken by Lhe trade, 9,450 declared for export,
and 12,710 on speculation. Included in the sales were
33.100 American, of which 27,540 were taken for consump
tion (trade and export,) and 5,560 on speculation. Owing
to the prevalence of Easterly winds the imports of the
week were light—say 42,656 bales—and the stock is re
duced 30.300 bales, and now stands at 975,030 bales, against
440.100 last year, whilst at sea—counting China piculs as
half bales—we have 760,000 against 418,000 last year, show
ing the total apparent supply 875,930 in excess of last year.
The total quantity of cotton here and at sea is, however,
about 15,000 bales less than last week, and we have no
doubt will now gradually decline from week to week.—
The consumption of cotton for the past six weeks has
averaged about 64.400 bales; taking this as the future
average demand, we have here and at sea about 27 weeks
supply. But referring particularly to American, we find
the consumption for the past six weeks has averaged
about 25,800 bales, which indicates a supply here and at
sea for only about 20 weeks. At the same time the di
minished stock at American ports, decreasing receipts
from the interior, a higher range of prices in American
markets than are current here, together with the probable
difficulty in negotiating sterling exchange, owing to the
financial panic here, ail point to diminished shipments to
this countiy, and a probable scarcity—particularly of the
better grades—before the receipt of any portion of the
American crop of the present year. It should, however,
be borne in mind, should American become relatively
dearer than other descriptions, it wonid have a marked
influence in checking consnmption.
The conference at Paris will assemble in a short time,
and by many it is hoped that war on the continent will
thereby be avoided; but the suspense is still, in a "rear
measure, paralyzing every department of business. Trade
at Manchester continues upon a very sonnd basis, but is
restricted bv the dearness of money. The export of coin
to the conftnent has, however, nearly ceased, and the
enormous shipments of coin from New York here will no
doubt cause an eariy reduction in the Bank rate.

COURT OP ORDINARY, AT CHAMBERS, JUNE 12, 1866.
W HEREAS, during the late war, many Administra

relief of Administrators, Executors, Guardians and Trus
tees, and for other purposes,” passed at the last session of
the General Assembly, will make a full, true and complete
statement of the condition of the estates they represent,
showing wliat money, if any, they have invested during
the war, in securities of the State of Georgia or ot the
Confederate States, and also their authority for so in
vesting. DANIEL PITTMAN,
