Arson— Preliminary Examination.—
On Wednesday morning, before Justice
Ells, commenced the preliminary examina
tion of Jim Smith (colored), charged with
firing the stable of Jim Parks (colored), on
Sunday night, 12tli instant. The case ex
cited mi usual interest among the colored
citizens, and a large number of witnesses
were summoned to testify. The prosecu
tion was conducted by Judge Hook and H.
Clay Foster, Esq., and the defense by W-
Milo Oliu, Esq., and Gen. A. R. Wright.
The examination ivas concluded yesterday,
at 13. o’clock, the prisoner being bound over
lor trial at the Superior Court.
One of the witnesses in the ease, Albert
Williams, testified that Parks’ wife, the
mother-in-law of the prisoner, had repeat
edly endeavored to induce the deponent to
assist Smith (the prisoner) to poison Parks
—the strychnine to be procured by her
(Parks’ wife) and the whisky by Smith, to
be prepared by the prisoner and adminis
tered to Parks. Failing in effecting this
arrangement, it was suggested by the pris
oner that they would lire the property of
Parks.
Under this evidence, Judge Hook, after
the prisoner had been committed, suggest
ed that the court should issue a warrant
tor the arrest, of Parks’ wife, as an accom
plice in the burning of the stable of her
husband. The court declined to issue the
warrant without specific affidavit.
Columbus Against the Subscription.
—ln Columbus, on the 20th instant, the
Committee of the City Council to whom
was referred the matter of the proposed
subscription of $400,000 to the Memphis
and Savannah Railroad, reported that after
a careful investigation and patient estimate
of the claims of the road, they are of opinion
that it would be unwise and impolitic at
this time for the city to vote the subscrip
tion. They further recommend that Lite
$05,000 remaining of file original subscrip
tion of SIOO,OOO be appropriated as promis
ed by resolution of previous Council,
Tile report was unanimously adopted, of
which the Enquirer says: "In this, we
think, Council have acted wisely, and to
the best interest of the property holders of
the city, and the citizens generally. And
vie think they will he sustained by at least
three-fourths of said citizeus.”
A Negro Fight. —Ou Wednesday night, j
about 9 o'clock, ft tight occurred at a ne
gro rendezvous near Cgrrie’s place, in Ca
naan, between Sam Anthony and Jonas
Walker, concerning tlic ehitFfi*® of a dusky
damsel, in which the latter w2.* severely
beaten with a loaded stick in the hands of j
the former. Cries of help and murder sum
moned a policeman, who made an arrest of
the parties engaged in the fight. The Jonas,
who was not entirely swallowed by the
whale, sued out a, warrant, yesterday morn
ing, before Justice Ells, against his oppo
nent, for assault and battery. Ou an ex i
nmination of the case, it was developed that 1
the prosecutor had commenced the diffi
culty, and in consequence the cost ($9 75)
was visited on the complaiuant.

A Scrap of Coolie History.—We copy
as follows from the Planters' Banner, a
Louisiana paper, of the 25th :
It will be remembered by many of our
readers that in 1867 we visited Doctor Kit
tridge’s plantation, where tliDi'P were
twenty-three Chinese laborers at work in
the field. They had just been brought from
Cuba. Lieut. Kelly, \hen and now man
ager on the plantation, gave us all the in
formation Jie then had in legard to these
laborer 3 - ai, d i S»yp » statement of these
facts in the Banner.
1 met Lieut. Kelly on the mail steamer at
Franklin, and came tvith him to the La
fourche Crossing. I asked him what be
came of those Chinese, and how he liked
them ? He said that at first they did very
well, but they soon became trifling. He
could neither coax nor drive them into the
field when they chose to stay in their
cabins. They preferred making bead work,
toys and trinkets, to field labor. In mak
ing these they were expert and ingenious.
They sold them at Napoleonville for more
than their plantation wages amounted to.
and docking their wages and withholding
their rations had no effect ou them. They
all carried sheath knives like sailors. One
day Lieut. Kelly was badly aggravated by
one Qf them, and struck him with a hoop
pole. Eight of the Chinese drew their
knives and made at him. He backed, and
fell over a cart tongue backward, and they
would have killed him but tor a trusty
negro who fired among them with a six
shooter.
Lieut. Kelly then went to Napoleonville
and obtained the services of an officer and
some men, anti they drove them all from the
place. In searching their cabins, they
found axes, saws, hammers, and all sorts of
carpenters’ and coopers' tools hidden away
—tools that had been missed from the plan
tation, but never till then knew who the
thieves were. He says they can out-steal
anything he ever saw. They are stubborn,
treacherous and lazy, and he would rather
have one negro on a place than flye Chinese.
But he says he thinks these were not as
good as the average of Chinese laborers,
and doubts if they did not rank low among
the coolie Ifrbpr of Cuba. But he says he
never wants another Chinese laborer on a
place that lie manages.
The Georgia Railroad.—A correspon
doudent of the Atlanta Constitution, writing
from Cambridge, Massachusetts, says:
“ The Georgia Railroad, under its pres
ent able management, has reached its ante
beUum condition. The road-bed and track
are in good order, the cars neat, and, last
but not least, the conductors—if all are
like the one with whom we traveled—are
attentive to the ladies, and by no means
surly to gentlemen."
i A girl in Pittsfield was struck dumb by
the firing of a cannon. A number of mar
'ried men have, in consequence, invited the
artillery companies to practice near their
premises.
Prince Alfred Among the Tahitians.
— Tahiti, July 10.— The Galatea arrived
here on the 9th of June, and Ilis Royal
Highness was received by the Governor
and officers,.ami, 1 presume, one-fourth of
the native population of the place. As
soon as the ship was signalled, messengers
were sent round to the native jiopulatiou,
ordering them to repair to Paputi, and in a
few days boats began to arrive Iroin all the
neighboring islands, and the population of
Paputi, was swelled up to at least 10,000.
Each district had prepared a song of wel
come for the Duke, and forty or fifty of the
best looking girls, dressed In white, sang
the grand Hyrainie. In accordance with
the native custom, each native presented
the Prince with some token of regard to
carry back to his country, and at one time
the girls made a circle of wreaths round
him, so that he was no longer visible—each
wreath being worth from $4 to $lO. The
Prince and suite associated with the half
caste population, and several photographs
were taken of the Captain of the Galetea,
one of which represents him standing be
tween two half-caste girls. All the Euro
pean houses were open to the officers, and
the best feeling prevailed with every one.
Dinners and balls were given, and the
Prince was forced to remain four days
longer than he intended. The manager of
the Company (Soares) opened his house and
invited every one. He gave a grand enter
tainment daring the stay of the ship.
f Cor. San Francisco Bulletin.
A Much Needed Work Finally Com
menced. —We are pleased to learn through
gentlemen from different sections of the
district, that Mr. Frank Arnim, Chairman
of the Board of Couuty Commissioners, is
now travelling through the district letting
out contracts for building bridges, or re
pairing old ones, a iff! taking active steps to
have the roads worked and put in good
condition. We are really glad to know
that some one of the officers of the new
regime has at last taiten an interest in this
very important matter, for truly it is a
work which has so long been neglected,
that we had begun to despair of ever seeing
the wretched condition of our highways
put in passable order again.
We are also informed that Mr. Aruim
manifests an earnest desire to have all the
roads and bridges in the district put in
good repair. This being the case, we would
suggest to parties in localities were Mr. A.
has not visited, who wish their highways
improved, to call that officer’s attention to
the same immediately.
[Edgefield Advertiser.
The Oyster Season. —The approaching
oyster season promises to be one of the
largest we have had, and both the catchers
and packers have made extensive prepara
tions. New houses are being built, and
every vessel that can be put into service is
either ready, or will be iu a few days. The
rumor that the drum fish had destroyed all
that were planted in the vicinity of New
York, will somewhat increase the demand for
small oysters to plant, and there is not a deal
er in this city who has not very large orders
to fill the coming Winter. On Monday we
saw several loads ready for shipment, and,
if the weather remains cool, business will
commence early this Fall.— Norfolk Herald.

WASHINGTON.
Washington, September 23—Noon.—
Under the caption “ Minister Sickles Sus
tained by the Administration," the Chronicle
says, with double leads: “ Those officers
of the Cabinet who have uttered au opinion
ou the question, say that there is nothing
in the communication from Minister Sickles
to the Spanish “Government to justify the
alarm that the imperfect disclosures of its
contents have created and concludes:
“Secretary Fish declines to make the note
of Minister Sickles public for prudential
reasons, but it is regarded as safe to say
that there will lie no such thing done as
backing down.” It is safe to reiterate that
the State Department apprehends no war
like results, and will favor the tender of
good offices, having been thankfully de
clined by Spain. “ Masterly inactivity”—
Sickles’ injudicious use of words above is
supposed to have caused ttye hubbub. The
text of Sickles’ note is not yet received.

maw.letters received by Dr. Foster at his
pemauent offices in Atlanta, Ga., where hnn
dreis of others of a similar tenor are kept on
file;
,| STATEMENT OF
A. HULBERT, Esq.,
(A. AND W- R- R.)
ATLANTA, SEPT. 11,1869.
Dr. J. M. Foster - Empire Block :
Dear Sir : After suffering from an aggra
vated ease of Catarrh in the head for over
THBtTV years, 1 placed myself under your
treatment. All the annoyances entailed by the
disease are well known to most every one, and
1 wis compelled lor years to endure them.
The partition separating the nostrils was ulcer
ated and perforated. I had an indescribable
dull, heavy feeling over the brows, almost
eonjfcaotly. My memory wan noticeably im
paired. My nose gave off' an offensive, and at
times, hardened mucus that was very disagree
able.
This was my condition three week3 ago,
when I placed ray case in your hands. Duriug
this short time the result has been a remarka
ble change for the better in every feature of
the ease. ’ The dull feeling gone—the ulcera
tions healed—the memory good—in fact my
head feels like anew, one throughout, while
my geueral health and spirits are greatly im
proved.
In fact, sir, your entire management of my
case has been admirable, and I therefore con
fidently recommend you to the afflicted.
A. HULBERT.

From J, G. Galleher, Esq.,
(Firm of Ki chard a, & Bto., Augusta. Ga.)
Dr. J. M. Foster : Having been a sufferer
from a serious malady in the head for several
yeare, and failing to obtain any relief for it
through the usual means employed by the gen
eral practitioncf of medicine, whose efforts it
had so often baffied, I placed myself under your
admirable system o( treatment, through the ad
vice of my physician (in whose judgment I re
posed great confidence.) 1 have been follow
ing yonr treatment but ten days only, and the
relief has been so substantial, the head so
much improved, and the general change so
marked, that I tender you this testimonial in
the hopes that you will soon make a second
visit to Aqgqsta, that others may have the
advantage of your successful practice and skill.
Hoping you may decide upon an early return,
I remain, yours truly,
J. G. GALLEHER.

Drab 8m : Having been relieved by you of
a partial deafness of some years’ standing, I
take pleasure in having you refer to me. I had
suffered considerable annoyauce from my deaf-
having noises in the ear, which
were particularly disagreeable. A few days
ago f was operated upon by you with flatter
ing success. You did qot cagse me the least
pain whatsoever, and J can now hear as perfect

Tendering you my thanks and gratitude, I
am, yours truly, * JAMES M. BALL.

Dear Sir : Having been afflicted with a very
annoying Throat and jlropcbia) difljeulty (that
induced a constant eough), of some years’
standing, I placed myself under your system of

marked improvement after bot little more than
a week’s attention, and from present favorable
indications, I think a perfect core will be the
