Financial Wreck*.
The last few 'lays says the New York Tribune,
have reported several wrecks in the financial
world, besides very serious damage in many in
stances where the wrecks are not complete.—
Wall street haa l>cen the scene of some great dis
asters not. publicly announced. Tbe first move
ment toward coining to a settlement, after our
long years of speculation and inflation, is dis
closing the great necessity of it. Although we
have not yet conic to any single great explosion
in this city, beyond perhaps a single individual
instance, great losses have been sustained by the
shrinkage of values, and many more are inevita
ble. As to what other forms of loss we are to
witness in the general overhauling that has be
gun and which must go on, time only can dis
pose. We find outside of New York that, with
in the last few days, very serious bank defalca
tions have been brought to light. We enume
rate such as we see reported in the papers:
First—National Bank at Meredith, New York,
tailed Cause—speculations of the President.
Second—National Bank of Hudson—closed.—
Cause—speculations of the Cashier.
Third—First National Bank of Newtonville,
Massachusetts—lost twice its capital. Cause-
speculations of Cashier.
Fourth—Mechanics’ National Bank, Baltimore
—defalcation $1100,000, by Book-Keeper and
1 Fifth—State Bank, Boston—defalcation $000,-
000. Cause—speculations ol Cashier.
The State Bank, of Boston, which we find m
l he above list, is one of the oldest and most re
spectably managed banks in the country, and al
ways lias been. IV liatever other bank was in
difficulty, it was always tbe State Bank that kept
out. The fact that it is now implicated in 1 he
general speculations that have grown out of the
enormous volume ol paper money, shows into
w hat close circles the mischief has peuetrated.—
When H bank like the State Bank is infected, wc
may look lor rottenness anywhere and every
where; and, as time rolls arouud, we may ex
pect to sec it developed even where least looked
lor. Wo may well inquire if this is the time to
Ik; talking at»out yet more inflatiou of the cur
rency, when results like these, of which we are
undoubtedly just seeing the beginning, are the
fruits of what we have.
Cotton in Florida.—The Gainesville Neto
Era of i lie 2d says of the cotton crop in East
Florida:
Alachua county made more long staple cotton
last year than any other county In the State.—
The number of bales is set dowu at 51,000, of
which 2,500 has been sent to market, and tbe
remaining 000 are being rapidly prepared.
Marion eonuty co lies next, with a crop of 2,700
1 tales. .
The estimate amount of long cotton made in
East Florida is 10,000 bales, which, if reckoned
at 5100 pounds to the bale, and sold at 70 cents
per pound, would bring two million one hundred
thousand dollars.
Allowing the same price, this county would
receive six hundred and thirty thousand dollars
for her cotton crop of 180(1. In addition to this,
there were few, say 75 bales, ot short cotton
made in this county, which was not included in
the above estimate.
The same paper says:
We understand that large numbers ol sheep
and cattle are dying daily on Payne’s Prairie.
This is usually the case when that great pastu
rage is covered with water as it is at present,
and the great mortality is caused simply from
the want of food, or, in other words, the poor
animals are starved to death.
Fire at Beaufort, S. C.—A special dated
Beaufort, March 7, to the Savannah Kern <f-
lit raid, says:
Our village was the scene of a disastrous con
flagration on Tuesday morning last. At two
.• clock, a fire was discovered in the hardware
store ot J. G. Thompson A Go., which, together
with a large stock, was burned to tbe ground in
a ft w minutes. The A<v South newspaper office,
adjoining, was soon inllaiDtis, and everythinguc-
-,troved. Hubbard's daguerrean gallery, the
Lincoln House, and a newly finished dwelling,
belonging to Mr. Pallitzer, was also destroyed.
The members of the fire company were having
a ball that night, which prevented them from
going to the scene as quickly as they might have
done, principally because their apparatus was in
use to adorn the hall. J. G. Thompson was in
sured to the amount of $1,000; Air. Pallitzer,
$2,000. The total loss is not less than $20,000.
The fire is supposed to have been tbe work of
an incendiary.
Columbus Items.—The Enqurirer of Satur
day has the following in regard to the river,
weather, &c;
quite a freshet before the waters subside.
A vv caiUer philosopher told us tlmt lie had a
-ighi of the new moon on Thursday evening, aud
that the “horns” indicated one of the wettest

on the moon’s horns, but wo tear that wc are
doomed to have a very wet spring. Tbe w inter

Augusta.—A large and enthusiastic meeting
of colored people took place at Augusta a lew
uinlns aim. Tuo Constitutionalist says of it :
\s we gathered from an hour's observation,
the object was to nominate a candidate for Maj^
issued against the estate ot the debtor.
Second—That the payment of any debts and
the delivery ot any property belonging to such
debtor to him or for his use, aud the transter of
any property by him, are forbidden by law.
Third—That a meeting ot me creditors of the
debtor, giving the names,residences and amounts
so far ns know n, to prove their debts and choose
one or more assignees ot his estate, will be held
at a Court of Bankruptcy, to be liolden at a lime
and place designated in the warrant, not less
thau ten nor more than ninety days after the is

Caution. -
From the West.—A St. Louis dispatch of
the 8tfa gives the lollowing:
The Montana papers say acting Governor
Meagher called an extra session of the Legisla
ture, to provide for the election of a Delegate to
Congress.
A personal altercation between George Moore,
of Ohio, and Professor Hodge and his son, of
New York, occurred at Orofma Gulch, resulting
in the death of the former and seriously wound
ing of both Hodge and his son.
Late Denver papers say the Indians are assum
ing a hostile attitude in the neighborhood of
Fort Dodge, on the Arkansas river.
New Mexican advices say hostilities have
taken a new start in the Southern part of the
Territory, and the militia have been ordered un
der arms.
Patience.—Our cotemporary ot the Augusta
Constitutionalist advises as follows:
There are quite a number of old women—
fathers of families and bachelors—who are groan
ing and grunting in a style that would do credit
to a whole front seat of mourners in an old
fashioned camp-meeting. To all such only one
piece ot advice is applicable: stay at home. To
those who wish to look at the situation calmly,
we say—be easy. We can assure that the officers
of the army in the South have not yet received
any orders with reference to civilians. They are
soldiers and obey orders, Andrew Johnson is the
Commander-in-Chief of the armies and navies
of the United States, and his subordinates know
nothing, officially, of any anch law as Sherman’s
bill.
Adjournment.—Forney’s Chronicle of the 9th
says: In tbe Senate caucus held yesterday, we

A Specimen Reb.—Mr. Gerard McDonaldson,
W e make an extract below from the speech of \ a Confederate soldier living near this place, who
Mr. Baldwin, late Speaker of the Virginia
House of Delegates, as reported in the.Richmond
Dispatch :
Under the new order of things now about to
be inaugurated, I go to my home, not only pro
hibited from engaging in the condnct of public
affairs. State or National, but denied the privi
lege of voice or vote in the selection of those
who are to bear rule among us. From what I
have already said you will understand that per
sonally I have nothing to regret in such on ex
clusion, and I would by no means claim that the
public service is likely to sufter any serious detri
ment by my withdrawal from the public coun
cils, but I may be allowed to suggest that to ex
clude persons by law from all participation in
public affairs in a community where they enjoy
and deserve the confidence and respect" of the
people, is, in a government professing to be free
and to rest upon public opinion, a capital mis
take, and one which our rulers will sooner or
later discover and understand.
In thus taking leave of you, gentlemen, I feel
it to be proper as a conservative citizen, sincere
ly desiring to promote the peace and good order
of society, to urge upon you as representative
men, enjoying in your several counties the re
spect and confidence of the people, the impor
tance of commending to them by precept and
example the duty of patient fortitude under the
adverse circumstances by which we are now sur
rounded, and of a submission as cheerful as
may be to the law of the constituted au
thorities. In our present condition our in
terest and our duty alike forbid us to attempt re
sistance to the powers that be, or to encourage
any disturbance of the good order of society.—
It is not necessary that we shall approve or as
sent to measures in regard to which we are not
consulted, and as to which we can have no con
trol ; but it is a high duty which we owe to our
selves and to social order, that we shall so con
duct ourselves that if wrong shall be done we
will be able to call God and man to witness that
we have had no hand in it.
It may be—it probably will be—that we shall
be called upon to suffer injustice and oppression.
In the attempt to resist them our people have ex
hibited the highest order of military heroism and
gallantry. The appeal to arms has been decided
against us, and it only remains for us to show
that we have the higher civic courage to endure
aud be calm, to suffer and maintain our self-re
spect, aud thus to command the respect of others
—even of those who would oppress us.
The Alexandria Election.—A dispatch to
the Baltimore Sun gives the following particulars
in relation to tbe late election at Alexandria,
which has excited some attention throughout
the country. Tlie candidate for whom the white
aud black radicals voted was a Vermonter named
Tucker :
The municipal election in Alexandria to-day
creates great interest, from the fact that it is the
first held in Virginia, or the South, since the
passage of the military bill for tlie more efficient
government of that section. The election passed
off quietly, though the negro vote was not re
ceived by the commissioners. The candidates
for the mayoralty were Hugh Latham, the pres
ent incumbent, and W illiam H. Marbury, nomi
nated at a mass convention yesterday.
The white radicals and colored people had
previously nominated George R. Tucker as their
candidate. Mayor Latham was re-elected by 63
majority. The rejected negro votes were record
ed outside the regular polls by committees of
four at each ward, two white and two bl.ack.—
The number recorded was about 1,300, some of
them, however, from the country, and not resi
dents of the city. The white radical vote was 56.
The Alexandria Gazette, of to-night, just re
ceived, says: “Tlie total white vote polled up to
three o’clock was about 735, of which Marbury,
for Mayor, had received about 370 and Latham
330. Tlie ticket, save the Mayor, nominated by
the convention last night will undoubtedly be
elected by a large majority, very few of the "can
didates liaviDg aDy opposition. Tlie council
tickets nominated at the ward meetings will all
be elected.
“Tlie number of negro votes polled up to
the same time was about one thousand, all of
which M ere for the radical ticket. During the
entire day negro votes were received and record
ed in large numbers, the negro population of the
surrounding country having quit work and c^ne
to town for the purpose of indulging in the high
est prerogative of freedmen. Indeed, not only
from the neighborhood came they, but from all
sections of the country, some hailing from as far
north as Boston, and some from Mississippi.”
lost his right arm in battle, is now engaged in
cutting wood with the left. He can cut the trees
and make 100 rails per day. He also makes coal
—cuts the wood, stacks it, burns and draws it.—
We vouch for the truth of this statement upon
the authority of Mr. David Eller, a respectable
gentleman of tins neighborhood.—Harrisonburg
Commonwealth.
Brigadier General Governors Assigned.
—At the Cabinet meeting yesterday, it is under
stood the subject was discussed of appointing
officers to take command of the five 31ilitary
Districts under the Reconstruction bill. In Vir
ginia, (the first Military District) General Scho
field, aud in the fifth (Louisiana and Texas,) Gen
eral Hancock are assigned.— Washington Union.
How Editors are Punished in Spain.—The
“Fourth Estate” fares badly in Spain. The fol
lowing official notice was lately published by tlie
Captain-General of New Castile:
February, 1867.—In consequence of the ac
tion brought before the ordinary tribunal agaiDst
the citizens Thomas Lallego, Manuel Blasquez,
Louis Blanc, and Felipe Fernandez, charged with
the offense of clandestinely publishing the jour
nals ltelampayo, Revolution aud Alerta, these
editors have been condemned, tbe first two to
twenty years of the galleys in chains, and, be
sides, to a fine of four hundred crowns, with sus
pension from all employment and political rights
during trie term ot their detention; and the two
others to sixteen years of the same punishment.
Tlie person named Miguel Mocliialdea, implicat
ed in tlie same affair, and accused of having had
in liis possession concealed arms, lias been con
demned to three years of the galleys in chains.
Joachim De Souza.
An Open Rear.—Deacon A ,while pass
ing through his lot the other day, stooped down
to tie his shoe. A pet ram which the boys had
trained,among other things was thought to regard
bis posture as extremely offensive. He instantly
pitched into the old gentleman’9 undefended rear,
and laid him full length in a mud hole. Pick
ing himselt up, the deacon discovered the cause
of his overthrow, standing in all the calmness
and dignity of a conscious victor. His rage was
boundless, and he sainted him with the energetic
language: •
“You d d old rascal!”
At that moment he caught a glimpse of the
benign face of the “minister,” peeping through
the fence, and he instantly added :
“If I may be allowed the expression.”
Contracts for Carrying the Mails.—A
Washington letter says: In view of the fact that
all the contracts for carrying the mails in the
South terminate on the 30th of next June, the
whole force of the contract bureau of the Post
Office Department is engaged in preparing for
the next mail lettings. The competition for this
service is about as high as was expected. The
decisions will he announced on the 28th instant.
A Friend of St. Marie Murdered at
Rome.—Since St. Marie left Rome a friend of
his, Charles Caze, in the papal Zouaves, who had
known Surratt, has been murdered. It is sup
posed that he was killed because it was suspect
ed that he knew of and aided in the arrest of
Surratt. While St Marie was in Rome, after
Surratt’s arrest, he received letters threatening
his death if he came to the United States.
Sensations.—Among the ridiculous stories re
cently in circulation at Washington was one that
the President would soon issue a proclamation
protesting against the military reconstruction
law, resign bis office and go before the people on
the strength of his position. Preposterous as
this was, there were found plenty ot people ready
to believe it.
The Difference.—General Logan, of Illi
nois, is stumping Connecticut in behalf of the
Radicals. In a speech the other day, he declar
ed himself unqualifiedly in iavor of universal
suffrage in the South. This is for the New Eng
land market. Per contra, in the Illinois cam
paign last fall he declared that, though he was a
Radical, he did not advocate the extension
oi ihe suffrage in Illinois.
—♦ *-
The Alabama.—The Montgomery Mail of
Sunday says:
The Alabama is swelling rapidly. Water was
fast covering the large bend opposite the city
yesterday, and still rising at the rate of three
inches to the hour. Should the rain cease, it will
probably reach its highest point to-morrow night
or Tuesday morning. Fortunately the crops are
not far enough advanced to receive any damage
from the present overflow.
The Real Difficulty.—The true difficulty
in the way of reconstruction was stated by an
orator in a radical meeting in Alexandria on the
evening preceding, the late municipal election .-
“ Mr. Griffin said that fifty of the present Con
gressmen had sworn never to vote for the re-ad
mission ot any of the Southern States unless
such State was in the hands of the ‘ loyalists.’ ”
Newspaper for Sale.—The office of the
Fort Valley Ledger is for sale, the proprietor
wishing to change his business on account ot
ill health. The paper is said to be a pairing
concern.
Sumner’s Bill.—Sumner's bill, introduced
iu the Senate last week to cover what he terms
the weak points in the Military bill passed by
the Thirty-ninth Congress, disfranchises all who
participated in the late rebellion and enfranchises
the colored people of the South, and provides
for the re-establishment of civil government on
the basis of loval voters.

Memphis.—General Howard has ordered
Beaumont, chief of the Memphis police, to be
prosecuted for arresting negroes and employing
them to planters for stipulated sums. Reports
say he arrested many negroes and released them
from jail without trial by employing them to
planters for sums of money from $10 to $13.
Death of Wm. H. Griswold.—We regret
to learn that Alderman William H. Griswold
died near this city yesterday. He was formerly
connected with this office, and had served the
city acceptably and usefully as an Alderman for
several years before liis death. He was a man
of good busiuess qualifications, and had many
friends.—Columbus Euqmrer, 9th.
Cotton at Columbus.—The Enquirer of
Sunday says: Our market was very irregular
and inactive yesterday. There was little cotton
offering, and the demand was quite slack. We
may quote middlings 22@23 cents, though some
cotton sold as low as 20 cents, and some as high
as 241 cents.

EGYPTIAN COKN.
Auspicium melioris avi. Borina fide, (fuid pro gva!
T HE subscriber offers to farmers throughout the
country, the EGYPTIAN CORN, which, upon trial,
was found to ripen, planted even the last of July. It is
estimated, from its very prolific qualities, to yield 160
bushels per acre, and weighs, by sealed measure, sixty-
five pounds to the bushel. This Corn was produced by
some proenred direct lrom Mr. Jones, our consular agent,
directly on his return from Egypt.
It needs no different culture lrom that ol other varie
ties, and in the South two crops can be raised in one sea
son on the same ground. It grows in the iorm of a tree,
and thirty-iour ears have grown tiplte one etaik, and will
average from five to fllteen. For domestic use it is un
paralleled. When ground and properly ho,ted, it is equal
in color and fineness to wheaten flour. As a forage crop,
by sowing in drills or broadcast, tor early leed, there is
no kind of corn so well adapted to miicb cows, and none
that will yield half the value in stalk or corn.
It can ba successfully grown in any State.
I give the most satisfactory references that the Com is,
in every respect, what I represent it to be : and further,
I am the only person th’ronghont the country who uas
this variety of Corn. Havin'* secured a quantity, I am
now able to fill all orders for those desirous of t.eiin *■ it.
TERMS.—In order that all may receive seed, we nave
reduced the price to $1.50 a package. Any person who
wit! get up a club of five, will receive a package gratis.
Fifteen packages for $lu, fifty packages for $20, one hun
dred packages lor $30. One package will contain enough
to plant the following season from twenty to.thirty acres;
j also, uiiections lor plantiug anti cultivating.’
