New Yoke, August 1.
The people of the South may naturally
expect some aid from Northern Democrats,
in staying the tide of mongrel Hadicalism,
■which now threatens to sweep over the
Jioutli, overwhelming in its Hood all that is
safe or deceitt in government. They may
very naturally expect that the noble etlbrts
of Mr. 11i 11, iilr. Derry and others will re
ceive more support from those who have
declaimed so much in favor of rights and
privileges wWich have thus far, one after
another, been broken down. They may ex
pect that the disttngnished orators from
among Northern Democrats and means to
ssupport the canvass will be sent down to
'them when the crisis of the campaign sltall
arrive, whose presence shall ejieer them and
“whose strength shall sustain them, i am
afraid that in this they are doomed to dis
appointment. The Democratic party at the
'North, if it have any opinion respecting
the position taken by Messrs. Perry anil
Hill, is scarcely aware of it and is quite as
Sikeiy to be against t hem as for them. The
tact is, the Democratic party of the North
.is halting between two opinions; it has
even reached a lower stratum—it is wait
ing, like Micawber, for something to turn
up. It is all at sea, as respects the means
to advance its own fortunes, and its coun
sels are so divided that It is at present pow
erless. What the Democrats desire to see
is simply this: The restoration of the Union
by the representation of the several States
in Congress. When that work is accom
plished it will look over the ground and
choose its position for an onslaught upon
its opponents. Until then it can do no
thing and judges that it will lie unwise to
commit itself in an important campaign, in
■which it would contend against great odds,
and respecting which the mass of the party
have not reached a definite conclusion. Os
course, the South will not be without its
champions from the North, but they will
not represent the Democratic party, and 1
am sorry Unit they are likely to be those
who, like the Blurrs, embittered by disap
pointment, are only gooil lighters when in
a minority.
YANKEE IHMiDI.U DOSING A CANDIDATE.
The pre-eminence which General Grant
assumes as the prospective next President,
has already subjected him to endless demon
strations of I lie “ gratitude” of politicians,
which has been truly described as a “ lively
sense <>f favors to come.” The present
plight of the General is a thing to be la
mented by utl compassionate Christians.
The noble army of tide-waiters encompass
him on every side. They are about his bed
and about his board, in season anil out of
season. Jenkins records what lie ate and
what he drank, and “ that, everpresent
cigar,” is alluded to ml nnmeam. His mo
dest bearing, his high rank, the vast respon
sibilities imposed upon him by Congress,
and the fact that it clearly lies with himself
to say whether lie shall be next President
or not, and that upon his determination in
the matter deprnils the'extension or speedy
termination of the political life of hundreds
of “old -tagers,” have conspired to make
him the pre,*mt prey of scurvy politicians.
It so happens that both parties are striving
to secure him as their candidate. The poor
man no sooner leaves his headquarters for
a little recreation at Long Branch than he
is set upon by hordes of New York politi
cians. They descend upon him like gad
flies; and of all the politicians the New
York politicians are the dirtiest. A late
bully from the Five Points, who now wears
the ermine of a police court, has devoted
himself to the General, arranging to beseen
5n his company, getting up banquets osten
sibly in his honor, but really for the glorifi
cation of that petty clique of which this
“judicial" functionary is a shiniitg light.
He, and comrades as mioderous as Idm
self, assist at these festivities and pay for
some of them,, trusting for reimbursement
to the “ good time coming.” No sooner has
Grant shaken otf his friends from the Five -
Points than the Shoddvites of the Loyal
League approach, who speechify at him, i
and “breakfast” him in all the fervor of
“great expectations.” They are all of the '
same sort described, I know not how manv
years ago, by an English poetaster:
«‘Onemißt|- moißty morning, when cloudy waß the j
J chanced to meet an old man clothed all in leather
Me began to compliment, and 1 lie-can to crin ’
P UW "° > ou dOV -*>’ how do ,
As I wrote last week, there is a disposi
tion in both parties to take Grant upon
trust. The Tribune , however, denounced
in ad .since the selection of a President by
any sort of “grab-bag” tactics; and the
Democratic presses content themselves with
endeavoring to foment wide discord among
the Republicans as will make it impossible
for them to nominate Grant; in which case
lie id ly become the Democratic candidate;
or, at least, by making Chase or Coifiix, the
Republican candidate, give a chance for
General McClellan. Grant’s reticence is his
great strength. It Is the main
. 1 pint that influences the minds of sober jedges;
For the General haint got tied hand and fool with
1> dges;
He !i .• I’s told ye what he is, and so there ain’t no

Thus Ilosea Bigelow, a Massachusetts
Abolitionist, wrote of “Old Zack ” twenty
years ago; and, but for their appropriate
ness now, 1 should offer an apology for using
lii.s lines.
FASHION MATTERS.
Fashion developes some new—l cannot
say strange—freaks. The abandonment of
tilting 1 loops, followed by short double
skirts on tiie street and trains for the draw
ing room, was hailed by the gentlemen as a
decidedly good tiling. For once the dresses
oft lie ladies met the approval of tiie “ lords
of creation.” Tiie papers did not make fun
of tin in. The only humorous allusion to
the fashions, which I retnepiber to have seen
lately, was in a comic paper, in which a
lady in her street dress was represented as
an imitation of a late style of perfumery
bottle, and the gentlemen, in their very
short coats and light pants, were likened to
a demijohn on stilts. The comparison in
both cases was certainly striking.
But the latest idea respecting the fashion
of ladies’ dresses is the development of Km
houpoint. Not to be over fastidious, the
style of dress is favorable to those ladies
who may be compelled to appear in public
while in an “interesting situation.” The
100.-e stupics and the proportions of the hoop
skirt completely envelop the form, and give
our bean-pole misses a “chunky” appear
ance that is awfully mysterious, not to say
a lilt !c suggestive. Quid mines are busying
themselves to determine where such a fash
ion eouid have originated. Is there a pros
per! of any other heir to the Emperor Na
pol. on ? .No. Thru it in list have been set.

Hindi married man, with whose people fat
is tl ■ first essential of beauty.
lIKOADWAY.
I! is nut every New Yorker who enjoys
frequent promenades in this lamed I horough
faiv. In fact, Jam not sure but that the
country cousin, who visits us twice a year,
with none but friendly motives of course,
knows more of the riches anil mysteries of
Broadway than (lie always-employed so
joijmer of a near suburb. I often wonder
how little New Yorkers know of their own
city. And yet it is not wonderful. If the
gambling dens, bawdy houses, Hash thea
tres and tawdy concert halis, had no other
support than they receive from the veritable
cilizeiis of New York ami environs, not one
in live would survive a mouth. They de
rive their main support from temporary so
journers. Even the Kev. Elnuthan Doolit
tle, an intense Uadical preacher, from some
win re in “ Varmount,” cannot pome to this
cil> without taking a look (at least) at its
“abominations,” and throughout the Vil
lages of the East and West may lie found
among their youth evidences of dcuiorali
zillion and depravity of the most hideous
character, that have originated in visits to
this city. A large city is the opposite of a
wilderness, and of course both posses some
peculiarities in common—-the “extremes
meet.” A man can bury himself in either,
ami in both, people who have been accus
tomed to the restraint of small towns, are
tel l without the customary cheek upon their
actions. We see the result.
But Broadway is not without ii* bright
side. It truly represents, and is a standing
monument to the growth and development
of European civilization upon the North
American continent, lie \ylp* has not pc
rambulati-d Broadway in (jl'tccii or twenty
years will not need any other evidence than
the sense of vision, to attest to him the im
mense progress that lias been made. From
Bu\yTuig Given t o Central Park, a distance
of more than four miles, he will discover
but here and there,an old landmark, to tell
him how completely the former grandeur
of t lie street has been eclipsed. Nq longer
than IWSO there were handsome retail es
taidbaimcnCs, and nearly all the principal
holds below and in the immediate neigh
borhood of 'Fultog street. Now that part
of Broadway is deserted lifter seven o’clock
in the evening. The only familiar land
mark which one will discover is Trinity
Church, whose spire, rising to the height of
two hundred and seventy ieet, makes it a
most, prominent object in a view of New
York. >St. Bald’s is also near at hand.
But the tawdry linery of Jiarnmu’s Muse
um is replaced with a massive marble
structure. Then we Hud the Astor llqip.
and City Hall, the latler overshadowed by'
the new Court House. All else near at
hand is changed. Os the old Irving Ho
tel, but a small part remains, occupied as
a restaurant. Burton’s Theatre, Ihe Broad
way Theatre, the old Masonic Hall and the
Broadway Tabernacle have all been swept
away anil replaced with lofty warehouses.
Keuiie am) Duane streets, crossing Broad
way, have been widened, and their dingy
two-story brick buildings have been sup
planted by handsome warehouses, mostly
occupied by the dry goods trade. The Hos
pital Grounds, which were opposite the
upper terminus of Pearl street, have been
shorn of their former ample dimensions.—
Passing on up the street, we see nothing
but the old Broadway House—-the Whig
headquarters in this city, during the exist
ence of that party —to rend mi ope of Ihe
Broadway of twenty years ago. St-jU fur
ther several .churches have disappeared, or
are given over to secular pursuits. Noth
ing ia held sacred against the demands of
business. The beautiful trees which lined
the sidewalks when John Jacob Astor
lived, opposite where tjje Metropolitan
Hotel now stands, have all cut
down, Arrived at Union Square, we shall
lind tlie residences ot unsurpassed elegance,
which once surrounded it on every side, are
changed to hotels, boarding houses, club
rooms, billiard saloons and gambling hells.
The Church of the Pilgrims— t he headquar
ters of the ultra-Abolitionists in this city
—has been deserted, and is to be pulled
down. The site of the old Hippodrome, on
tlie corner of Slid street and Broadway, is
tilled by the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The ap
pearance of Broadway is much more credit
able now than during the war. The con
cert saloons, with their pretty waiter girls,
have been broken up by the police and the
excise law, and the offensive transparencies
that formerly glared upon the passer-by
from nearly every block between Canal
street and Astpr Place, are no more seen.
BUSINESS MATTERS.

wldeli are now so very small that t lie con
tingency of ordering cotton from Liverpool
is held to he not improbable, Breadstufls
further declined, but closed linn- prime
Georgia red wheat being taken for export

begins to reaeii this market from (he West

Corn is sustained by speculative operations,
but the stock in store lias largely increased.
All hay products continue Arm. Grocer
ies are hardly so firm. Money continues
easy, but it is evident thgt the speculation
in railway shares has culminated. The

Letter from Oatawba Springs.
Catawba Springs, July 50,1807.
Editor Augusta Constitutionalist :
My Dear Sir : With the hope of assist
ing you to till a corner in your paper and
with the view of telling the wonderftil
charms with which Nature has gifted this
cnchauting spot, so that others may lie as
much delighted and beneflttcd by finding
them out as 1 am, I desire to draw a pen
portn it of the Sparkling Catawba. Fancv
a hill just high enough to afford bracing atr,
without inconvenient steepness of ascent,
slopii g with an amphitheatrical sweep
down to a mossy green valley, plant its
sides .vith numerous oaks, under which tall
grass and delicate ferns blossom and wave
in un cstrained luxuriance, thread it with a
l'unni lg brook, like a silver cord, place in
its be «m the sparkling springs, which bub
ble up with ever abundant limpidity, fill
the 1 'ees with singing birds and the hill
sides with clear-noted partridges, then pow
der tiie whole with the gleaming particles
of quartz rocks and glistening sheets of
mica, in which the place abounds, and cover
it ail with a cloud of calmness and perfect
repose, which tempers tiie sunshine but
does not obscure it, and you will have Ca
tawba as God made it!
Would you view it as man lias added hu
man comforts to natural beauty? Accom
pany me in thought while 1 point out tiie
man and what, by dint of almost superhu
man energy and persistent industry, he has
accomplished.
“ 11 e ” is Colonel 1. Golden Wyatt, a gentle
man,’every inch of him—as lie is quite tall
the gentlemanly element is extensive—who,
seeing the immense advantages wldch the
place and its remarkable Springs possess,
purchased it, and lias spent a large amount
of his private fortune in various and mOst
judicious improvements. lie is no mere
speculator who requires a quid “pro quo for
every dollar expended, blit a man of liberal
and extended views, who is willing to ven
ture his all of worldly means in order to
provide for the South a watering place
which shall amply till tiie demands of South
ern people, trusting that if lie is not the re
cipient of an individual lieuelit, he will have
tin consciousness of having done good in
his generation,ayd sown the harvest which
others may reap.
Willi this view all his improvements are
proji eled, not only with regard to present
comfort, but future requirements, and in
this respect lie resembles the Catholics who,
as Bishop Say remarks, “build not for a
cent ury, hut lor all time!” At'present the
buildings consist of two large hotels, with
spacious, airy rooms, with l;i)'ge windows
opening on broad balconies, and furnished,
as are the cottages, with neat and comforta
ble necessary furniture. In one of these is
a lingo parlor, furnished in city style, and
containing a very tine piano. Next to one
of these buildings is the house devoted to
the dining and ball rooms, the former occu
pying the lirst and the latter the second
story, both running the entire length of the
building, and being thoroughly ventilated
on all sides.
All along the hill sides and continuing
the circle of which the hotels and ball
room are points, lie the pretty white cot
tages Willi their rus ic porches and green
shutters. All of them contain two rooms,
many of them four, and one ol them, the
largest and prettiest, of all, has six. This
one is reserved for him who has been tor
two long years restricted to the confines of
a prison cell, and whose stoppage hereon
his homeward journey is confidently ex
peeled. I never see it without an irresist
ible desire to take off my hat and say (un
der my breath, of course, for we all be good
subjects novv-a-days,)
“trumsAU pirn .iekfekson davis!”
In the centre of the circle stands a pavil
ion, or music stand, erected by Col. Wyatt,
to l-he l ime oi I do not know how many
hundred greenbacks, and presenting an ele
gant ornament as well as a delightful place
of resort.
The usual ten pin alley and bath house
arc here, both as comfortable and roomy as
can be wished, and near the grand point of
attraction, the While Sulphur Spring, is a
large covered summer house, where one may
dream away the hours alone, or with a
companion far sweeter than solitude, as his
fancy may prefer.
The spring itself is inclosed in a white
marble basin, almost as pure as its own
waters, and encompassed by a handsome
iron railing, while the chalybeate, whose
wonderful strength produces miraculous
effects, is girdled, as yet, only by the grace
ful maples and poplars, which benil over
ils; hilling surface.
The style of manner and system of ar
rangement are peculiarly Southern, and
while the pretension which “Shoddy”
must advance to secure its parvenue
claims!* unknown, 4 delightful laissez-aller
do-as you-please manner prevails, and life
old rule observed in the abbey of the Tlie-
Icinites is zealously observed.
“ Kills ce </ik‘ vom vomiruys ”is the rule
of Catawba, and as every one “chooses” to
“dqjfujt” what is right atul pleasant, you
can readily comprehend how agreeable life
is under such circumstances. We have a
very agreeable crowd here now, and rqQins
are imaged for a large number which Hie
heat of August will drive from the dust of
the city. Smith’s celebrated liieUmond
Band is here, and is at present in the Pa
vilion, pleasantly reminding one, through
the musical medium,of“happy moments”
—that it is time to dress for dinner, said
“dressing” consisting in smoothing one’s
hair and scenting a fresh handkerchief, for
we go tq dbfiief* In our breakfast dresses,
and reserve our full-dress toilettes for the
evening. Dinner reminds me of the' fare
wliic h is set before appetites sharpened al
most to Confederate soldier capacity by
the wonderful waters, in a style that would
tempt a bUizce gourmet.
The best and most liberal supplies are
placed iii the hands of an experienced Vir
ginia house keeper mid returned by her to
Ihe guests in tonus anil cquilfinij lions that
prove gastronomy to lie what the French
term it, a “ divine Hclerust).'"
Blit the charm, the crowning charm of
Catawba lies in its springs, every ripple of
which is instinct with life, health, strength
aim mental and physical invigoration.
The cures they (nqiju/'e on confirmed in
valids ar: simply miraculous; and these are
not a matter of hear say evidence, but trans
pire under one’s very eyes, though in away
to make him almost doubt tlie evidence of
his senses. Not only dq this class of suffer
ing Immunity find the elements of a new
life, but those who are atilicted with no par
ticular disease lind on coming within the
1 liariped circle of Catawba air and Cataw
ba water, that lhey awake to a reality of
health of which heretofore they have pos
sessed only the idea.

Darlinit shoulders, softly pale,
Borne, by the undulating play

Like lilies out o’ th’ waves o’ th’ May.
Throat as white as the throat of a swan
Ami all as proudly graebful held ;
Fair, bare bosom “clothed upon

And brown agaiu iu the gleamy gold.
Th-.se on your eyes like a splendor fill,
And you marvel not at my love, I see :
But it was not one, and it was not all, ’
That made her the angel she was to me.
Bo ‘hut the nictnre and put it away,

Seven and seven years, and three,

And now and then some meteor gleam
His broken the gloom of my life apart,
Or the only thread of sonic ravelled dream
Has slid like sunshine into my heart.
But never a planet, steady and still,
And never a rainbow, brave and tine,
And never the flowery head of a hill
Has made the cloud of my life to shine.
Yet God is love, and this I trust,
Though summer is over and sweetness done

You think me “ incendiary, wicked, Imd and
a party man on the 4th of .1 uly.” W hat right
have you, a vile wretch, living l>y t he trine.-
of God and the mercy of a too humane (lot
eminent, to take a loyal man to task for
what he may see tit to say V Have you so
soon forgotten your crimes, or are you in
sane enough to believe that t hey are forgot
ten among men, and that treason, after ail,
is not to he punished ? For the sake of your
soul, I beg you not to forget the past! nor
be unmindful of the future, for the day is
coining when you and Forrest will botii In
called to a just account for your misdeeds.
Pirates and butchers of innocent men can
ifol long live iu America unhung. Jie con
stanlly prepared, for you know not the dav
nor the hour wherein the righteous Judge
will come to do justice. Being a Christian
man, when your trouble is great, and deep
tribulation is upon you, send for me, and 1
will come and do all 1 can to prepare you
for your end; though I tell you frankly, I
believe no earthly intercession can save you
from the hottest hell in damnation.
You fear “such men” as I am will “ rise
to power” on the shoulders of the blocks.
When you recollect your awful guilt, and
that by the laws of nations you are an out -
law’, your coward conscience
make you four such an event. You say t hat
such men as I instigate the negroes to do
lawless acts. You, as pirate and a traitor,
area pretty fellow to talk about instiga
tors of lawless acts. The devil rebuking
sin would be a mild comparison, i have
always advised the negroes to be law
abiding, quiet,sober, iudiistrioiisaud peace
fill, and shall continue to do so. They
have no occasion to take tlje law into their
own hands, and when they do, I shail as
much condemn them as I do you. We,
who are their friends, by the help of God
and a Radical Congrees, will, in good time,
in a legal way, properly punish you and ali
their enemies, and the enemies' of the lie
public,- and In the meantime the negroes
will be quiet, orderly and industrious eili
y.ens.

ADMIRAL SKMWES’ REPLY
Janue S. JJruAin, U. 8. A.:
Sir : In former times, when a person, who
had the honor of signing U. 8. A. after his
name, t*Jt aggrieved, he addressed a private,
note to the party who he supposed meant
to offend him. Such a note from you would
have found a ready response at my hands.
This was a rule in the old service, where
the uniform was a guarautee that the wearer
of it was a gentleman. What changes the
birth of the “New Nation” may have
brought about among those who now wear
shoulder straps I am unable to say. As
you have departed from this rule, l am con
strained to regard you as one of those new
men of the army’, whose education lias been
defective; though I know nothing of your
antecedents, never having heard of your
name or fame until read the incendiary
speech delivered by you to to the blacks, at
Lexington, Ky., the other day.
Having voluntarily placed yoursell with
pift the pale of gentlemen, by- assaulting
me, fiei’JoiiaUy, through the newspapers, j
there is no other resource left me—unless J
you should hereafter change your mind — !
but to reply to you through the same chan
nel. Ido live, i hope, by the grace of God,
but not by the mercy of the government of
which you speak, since I purchased my
personal safety with a consideration whieh
bag long since been paid, to and enjoyed by
the other contracting party, tu-wit: the
laying down of my arms and the disband
ment of my troops. There are, no doubt, I
plenty of such creatures as yourself who i
would be glad of the opportunity to dis
grace the government under which they
live,by counselling it to dishonor; but 'll
have the satisfaction of believing that there >
are other iqeu in tljc United StnU-s mtov '
besides the canaille, of the Grishin order, j
who “ run” 1 lie Freedmen’s Bureau, affiliate
with negroes for sinister purposes, and
strike at everything gentle in the land, in
compliance with the base instinct., i, it t;
which an inscrutable Providence has cre
ated them.
But 1 am wasting words on such nice
Ij.-llows as yqurtrolf; and so, if you will |«-r
--mit me, I will close our correspondence by
ti lling you that, in my judgment, no officer
of the United States army, w ho entertained
the sentiments of honor which should char
acterize a noble profession, could have
written the coarse and slanderous attack
upon my character which you have had the
dlgtiuctiqu of producing, for the gratilh a
tion of a certain class of blackguards with
whom, probably, you associate.

The Polish Colony in Simtkx i.vania.—
The Polish Colony in this comity, founded
by the active exertions of General Toch
lnan, fe represented to us as in a most flour
ishing condition. It is composed mainly,
if not entirely, of exiled Poles, 'Men awl
women too noble for a despot’s security,
and therefore banished from the laud lhai
gavu,them birth.
iS T e\y Poland” is composed of some,
seventeen families, and ouch family Jias about ;
100 acres of land. They took possession <>i
their homes too late last year to put. in a.
Wheat crop,—and as is generally known, so i
pogr as to be unable to surround them
selves with oven some of the necessaries
of life, and of course not many of its com
forts.
Eacl) of the families has already acquired
a horse, a. coxy, Ifogs, two ploughs, axe,
shovel, spade, &c., &c. They put, out an
oau crop which will afford ample loqd for
their stock with the liay that has been al
ready harvested. They have grown largely
of potatoes, beans, peas, <te. Their
corn is flourishing; and altogether, they
may be said to have been eminently success
ful thus far.
It will be remembered that homo croak
ers met these people last year, with the pre
diction that they were going upon land
where they would starve to death, aiul other '
dolorous tgles that would have deterred a 1
less necessitous and brave-heated pcoi.l 1
The first year’s labor has rendered them
independent so far as mere living is con
corned. With a good season and the smiles '
of Providence, they will commence iaviim 1
up next year and from a full supply !
necessaries will go oil acquiring home com-
I forts.— Fredericksburg Herald. |
An Unfortunate Plight. —The Dubu
que Herald is responsible for the following
hmnerous sketch of the misfortunes of an
lowa clergyman :
Thursday last among the goods expressed
for the West by the D. & 8. It. R., were a
number of baskets of hen fruit. Two or three
stations this side of that at which they
were placed upon the ear, an ex-minister of
huge proportions stepjK-d into the express
car to speak with the messenger. The eggs
were in the west end of the ear, and our
clerical friend accidentally took his posi
tion in front of them, with his back toward
the eggs. While the twain were convers
ing tiie train suddenly started forward.
The reverend gentlemen was taken una
wares by the unexpected jerk, and he lost
his balance. He found it iu the basket of
eggs just iu his rear. The result of this
ministerial onset —if we may so term it—
battles all description. Os course the con
tents of tlie basket came to an unlucky
end.
Ike Partington once set a hen on fifty
two eggs, just to see her spread herself;
here was a mai. not used to the business
who had set. himself on lifty-two dozen,
and successfully accomplished the same re
sult, as any one could see. But though
backward in getting into that undignified
position lie was by no means backward in
getting .out. lie erected himself and ex
amined himself. Aliy member of his church,
if present, would have recognized iu him
not. only a faithful fellow laborer, but an
earnest yolk fellow. Fora minute lie stood
motionless, except as lie with spread and
tremulous lingers in an undecided and un
certain way waved his hands with (he air
of a mail who luid been egged on to desper
ation. He certainly presented a ludicrous
aspect. As the precious ointment ran
down Aaron’s heard, so the albuminous un
gOenl ran down the preacher’s trowsers
legs, spreading iu translucent liquidncss
fipoii ihe floor about his feel. The- express
in ess i gi r took 'in- stove hearth and did

University of Georgia.
Athens, Ga., August 5.
This quiet and aristocratic little city is
tilled with visitors from all parts of the
Btate, who are attracted hither by the An
nual Commencement Exercises of the Uni
. versity.
Your correspondent arrived yesterday
morning, just in time to secure the last
room in tiie Newton House, the justly pop
ular hotel of this place. Mr. Wharton, the
proprietor, gives his personal attention to
the comfort of his guests, and his office
clerk—Mr. A. D. Clinard—is not one of
those beings who are sometimes found in
his position, tilled with his importance,
bombastic and uncommunicative, but quiet
and urbane, and evidently endeavoring to
gratify the patrons of the house.
Among the guests of the Newton are a
number of beautiful ladies from Augusta
and Atlanta, who are the observed of
all observers, and undoubtedly creating
fluttering sensations iu the hearts of the
Athenians. Especially charming is one
fascinating creature (don’t send my wife a
copy of this paper) whom I met in Atlanta
last Spring, at an editor’s wedding. I re
cognized her in the omnibus, which con
tained n score or more of the passengers,
lrtmi the depot to the hotels. Her name is
Miss Augusta, and 1 confess that, notwith
standing her bright eyes were—
“ the Hwifl vehicled of still (swifter thoughts,
Anu nurse iind pillow of tiie dull Memory,”
had not her sister—a highly intellectual
lady (married, tell the bachelor)—said to
her: “Augusta, liow steep the hill is !” I
might have still been worrying my brain
with the query: “Where have I seen that
face l 1 ” But lam enlightened.
Yesterday morning Rev. Dr. Lipseombe
preached the Commencement Sermon, in
tin: chapel of the University, from the text:
‘'Rut Esaias is very bold and saith I was
found oi them that sought me not; 1 was
made manifest unto them that, asked not
after me. 1 Rom. 10, xx. The discourse was
qiiift- lengthened, but an able essay upon the
boldness of the prophet “who was to Juda
ism what Paul was to Christianity.” The
charge to the Graduating Class by the
same venerable doctor was earnest and af
fectionate, warning the members of the
dangers which beset them and commending
them to the God of the Bible for all guid
a nee.
I he singing by the clioir on the occasion
is worthy of notice. The music was
“church” music—grand and appropriate.
The lady presiding at the instrument
seemed to have a just conception of accom
paniments anil did not seek to overwhelm
the voices of the singers, who kept excel
lent time and with feeling and expression.
This morning begin the exercises of the
Sophomore Class, and at 5 o’clock this af
ternoon Rev. Dr. Brantly will deliver the
oration upon the death of Chief Justice
Lumpkin. John.
Gun. IbiUOKiNiUDoe.—Wo have noticed, says
•he New York Day hook, on several occasions,
statements floating about the papers that Gen.
John 0. Breckinridge had written to his friends
in the United States advising them “to accept
Hie situation, “a la Longstreet, as we have un
derstood Hie paragraphs alluded to. It is need
less to say that sneli announcements were ex
ceedingly painful to Mr. Breckinridge’s old
friends, who have a higher opinion of his men
tal and moral culture than to suppose that lie
would regard force as the final arbiter between
right and wrong. We are pleased, however, to
say that all these announcements have been er
roneous. We have reliable iutormatioii that
Gen. Breckinridge agrees with such men at the
t'-oslli as Hon. B. F. Perry, B. 11. llill aud it. V.
Johnson, and with all the Northern Democracy
in their estimate ol the legislation of Congress
and the general situation of affairs.

Indian Spring.—' The correspondent of the {

says: I
“ Among others, l observe Judge Cole and

and lady, Mr. and Mrs. Stroheeker, Mr. and
Mrs. Pope, of Washington, Mr. Moughou aud ;
daughters, Mr. Philip Cohen and lady, of An- ,

otir Solicitor General, your friend Stockton, of '

Getting Scared.— The Atlanta Era is not as
tranquil as it might be. It says : ,
“ The enemies of reconstruction are lidding I
secret meetings all over the city and State, and
il the people don’t rise in the majesty of their j
strength, the disunion Radical clement will de- |
feat the ‘Convention’ by an overwhelming ma
jority. Lyt cyery friend o.f the country be up ‘
and doing. The cause demands action.”
Cotton Claims.— Congress did not pass the 1
bill to suspend the payment of the three mil- J
lions of dollars awarded to claimants of cotton
by Hie Court of Claims. The House passed the
bill, but the Senate appears not to have acted
upon it. A dispatfh from Washington states J
(hid the claimants arc now pressing for the 1
payment of their awards. <
The First Open Boei, op Cotton. —The
first open boll of cotton which we have seen

raised op the plantation of Messrs. Weldon and

by them to Messrs. J. 11. Baggett & Co., to
whom we are indebted for it.

Bigelow was dismissed from the office of depu
ty clerk about a mouth ago, for using corn in
tended for the poor, to bribe men to join the

by the ruling of Judge Leonard.
Solace por the Childless. —Prentice very

Alabama most extensively known, and esteem
ed as one of the first gentlemen of the State,
died at his residence in Lowndes county ou the
21*tli nit. His age was fit! years.

The programme was of course most choice,

Washington, August 4.
Marshal Goodloe, of the District of North
Carolina, has reported (o the Attorney General
that the process of the United Slates Circuit
Court, lately held by Chief Justice Chase, is ob
structed by order of Lieut. Colonel Frank,
commanding the post of Wilmington. The
ground is expressly mentioned in the onler'to
lie that in each of the cases obstructed the
cause ol net!an adjudicated upon by Judge
Chase occurred between the Dili of December,
WOO, and the 15th of May, 1805. Gen. Sickles’
order, No. 10, having forbidden judges to en
tertain any suds for matters accruing between
those dales, the Marshal supposed that Gen.
Sickles did nol mean to include courts of the
United Males, hut those only of the Stales.
Col. Frank interprets the order differently.
Marshal Goodloe has suspended action until
he hears from Gen. Sickles or receives instruc
tions from Washington, being anxious to avoid
any collision. This matter is regarded as a
very grave event, allhough impression prevails
that the commandant at Wilmington has acted
without the knowledge oi Gen. Sickles, who it
is confidently expected will disapprove his ac
tion. Good toe’s course ha« been approved at
the Attorney General’s office, but no steps will
be taken until time has passed for a report
from the commanding general.

A writer in the New York Gazette , contrast
ing Spurgeon and Beecher, says : “Mo man
in ill,: world understands his physical system
better than Mr. Becclicr. His eating, sleeping,
exercise all conform to the laws of health. Ho
is thoroughly temperate in all respects. Ho
lias reached a half century with a sound consti
tution in a healthy body, and has twenty-five
years’ good service in him yet. Hpurgc.ou is a
young man. His flashy appearance and flic
gout that lias already overtaken him show that
physical laws must be obeyed as wolf as moral.
Mr. Beecher lives plainly, is simple in his dress
and in his habits, and it met in the street would
sooner be taken for an express man in a hurry
for the cars than a minister. Spurgeon dresses
in pure English clerical style, is a free liver,
dispenses an elegant hospitality, keeps liis
coach and coachman, fives in a fine mansion,
and boasts as good a turn out as the Archbishop
of Canterbury.
The Maryland Farmer.—The xVugust num
ber of this sterling agricultural journal lias
