• Attempt to Arrest a Convict.—Yes
terday afternoon, between two aud three
o’clock. Policeman Conlon was called to
the arrest of a colored convict on Broad
street, below the Lower Market, known as
Dan Turner, who had escaped from the
chain gang, where he had been sentenced
for the stealing of a dog belonging to Judge
A. P. Robertson.
When the above named police officer
essayed to arrest the convict, in company
with his brother after the flesh, a pistol
was drawn upon the arresting officer, who
had grappled with the escaped convict, and
thrown him upon the ground, on Broad
street, between Elbert and Lincoln streets,
where the pistol in question was halved,
the policeman retaining the barrel. Each
of the negro brothers then attempted to
make good their escape by flight, one of
which, the escaped convict, gained a bateau
and paddled across the river to the Caro
lina side, while the other, Edward Turner,
ran down Reynolds street to East Boun
dary, where he jumped into the river and
escaped from the police officer.
Policeman Conlon was entirely un
armed, having neither club nor pistol at the
time the arrest was attempted, in conse
queuce of which his hands were considera
bly mutilated, and the convict escaped.
Subsequently, Edward Turner, the brother
of the escaped convict, who had jumped
into the river to avoid arrest, returned to
the Georgia shore, aj'ter swimming down
the river more than one-fourth of a mile,
and was arrested by Policeman Shaw, and
arraigned before Recorder Crump for viola
tion of the 21st section, in pulling Police
man Conlon off liis brother aud allowing
him to escape. The accused, Edward Tur
ner, was convicted, and sentenced to pay a
tine of SSO, or serve three months on the
chain gang.
The Peabody Funeral Fleet. —A dis
patch to the New York Tribune, dated
Washington, sth inst., says “that the
Navy Department has received dispatches
from Capt. Me. Comb, commanding the
United States steamer Plymouth, which ac
companies the English ship Monarch, con
veying the remains of the late Mr. Pea
body. He iu formed the Department that
they had decided to take a southern route,
touching at Madeira and Bermuda, but
does not indicate what time they may be
expected at Portland. According to the
calculation made by Admiral Porter, al
lowing the ships to stop at Madeira and
Bermuda the usual time for coaling, their
arrival at Portland may be expected about
the 25th inst.
The Mayor of Portland has ordered the
City Hall to be closed for all public amuse
ments until after the reception oftliere
inainsbf Mr. Peabody: When the Monarch
arrives, Minister Thornton will be on hand
to receive the remains of Mr. Peabody,
and, as the representative of the British
Government, to turn them over to the Uni
ted States authorities. The present pro
gramme is. that the Mayor of Portland
shall receive them, and the question that
has arisen is, whether he is the proper offi
cial. The President has ordered naval ves
sels to meet the remains at sea, but it is a
question whether that is making enough of
the mutter, and whether the Secretary of
State, or some other official immediately re
presenting the President, ought not to be
detailed to receive them from Mr. Thorn
ton. This questiou will do doubt be satis
factorily settled by the diplomats here
prior to the 25th.
A Plea fob the Babies.— The Courier-
Journal notes the fact that a correspondent,
of the Medical Gazette, who is a practicing
physician, comes to the rescue of the ba
bies against what he denounces as their
deadly enemy, Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing
Syrup. He says he was called to see an
infant that was in a dying condition, ap
parently from the effects of a narcotic
poison, and was assured that it Had taken
no medicine but this “soothing syrup.”
The doctor took the bottle and had some of
the syrup aua'yzed by a skillful chemist,
and the analysis showed that each ounce
of the stuff contained nearly one grain of
morphine.' A dose for an infant three
months old, as prescribed by Mrs. Wins
low’s printed directions, contained an
amount of morphine equal to ten drops of
Aaudanum. This is ordered to be given to
thft child every two hours, in certain cases,
and double the quantity to a child six
mouths old. As children are very suscept
ible to the influence of opium, of which
morphine is the active principle, four drops
of laudanum having been known to kill an
infant of uiue months, ana
rers of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothinjg Syrup sell
annually about one hundred thousand two
ounce bottles in the single State of New
York, the reader can form some idea of the
number of babies that are soothed to per
petual sleep by this nostrum. Mothers had
better stick to catnip tea.
Twenty-Five Cents a Pound fob For
eign Literature. —Some of the publishers
and printers of the United States are about
to send a petition to Congress asking for a
specific duty of not less, than twenty-five
cents a pound on all imported books, either
bound, unbound, or in sheets. The reason
given for the petition is, that while every
book manufactured in America has to pay
to the Government at least fifteen separate
taxes ou the various articles composing it,
foreign books are allowed to come in under
a duty comparatively so trifling that it is
cheaper to manufacture them abroad. The
“ consequence,” as they say in their state
ment, “is that a book can be ordered in
England and imported into the United
States that will not cost, after paying
duties, freight, and all other charges, more
than half of what a similar book manufac
tured here would cost.”
Sale of the Dahlonega Branch Mint.
—The Atlanta Constitution reports that on
Tuesday Col. G. W. Adair sold, at public
outcry, the United States Branch Mint pro
perty, at * Dahlonega, consisting of ten
acres of land, a large two-story brick
building, 130 feet by 25, and an ell 60 by 35
feet. Tiie property cost originally about
$200,000. Miles G. Dobbins, Esq., bought
it for $1,325. The gold scales, and other
fixture.!, were bought by Representative
W- P. Price, for $lO7.
Advertising Dogs—The New York
Democrat says : “ Merchants in Savannah,
Ga., advertise in a novel way. Dogs run
around the streets with blankets on, on
which are painted advertisements. Then
there is some use these hydrophobists can
be put to. But wc-Jt it injure the local
papers V”
The Republican thinks it a dog- ged mean
trick for merchants to bring their goods
before the public in that way, and threat
ens, if it is not stopped, to petition Council
to kill all the dogs, even those with collars
on. We presume that the petition will be
cheerfully endorsed by the sausage manu
facturers of the city.
Shad Fishing About Savannah. —The
Republican says the fishermen in the neigh
borhood of Savannah have already set
their nets in the river for the season, but
the catch so far has been light. It is too
early, however, to contemplate much suc
cess. When the season is further ad
vanced we will be better able to judge.
Shad from Buck river, five miles up the
river, and Fort Palaski are slowly coming
into market, and bring one dollar each.
Florida stood forty to seventv-flve cents.
Enforcing the Revenue Laws.—Sec
retary Belknap has authorized officers of
the army on duty in Texas, Florida aud
Georgia to loau pistols and rifles to revenue
officers, and to sell them powder and shot
at cost, whenever they may require the
same while hunting up the illicit dis
tilleries and the violators of the Internal
Revenue laws. Troops also are at the
command of the revenue collectors when
ever desired.
A Cow with Seven Hoofs.— The Colum
bia (S. C.) Phoenix reports a cow in that city
with seven hoofs. The animal is perfectly
shaped, except that three hoofs the
stump of a tail protrude from the left side
of the spine, where the neck joins the body.
The animal was raised in Spartanburg, and
is pronounced a great curiosity by all who
have seen her.
Prices of Pork.— The Central Georgian
says three droves of fine, fat porkers have
made their appearance in Sandersville this
season. The two first were readily sold out
at 12jcents gross; the last is here now, sell
ing off at the same price, and will perhaps
all be sold before this is printed. Consid
erable of the pork was bought on specula
tion.
River News. —The steamer Carrie ar
rived at her wharf yesterday at 11 o’clock,
with 105 bales of cotton on board, and will
leave to-day at 12 o’clock for Savannah,
with 370 bales of cotton.
At three o’clock yesterday the river reg
istered 5 feet 9 inches, the point maintain

Claim Against the Southern Express
Company. —ln the United States District
Court, at Savannah, on Tuesday, as we
learn from the Republican, the case of
O’Baunon & Bashaw vs. Southern Express
Company, came on for trial before a jury:
The object of this suit w r as to recover
the sum of one thousand four hundred and
eighty dollars, alleged to have been deliv
ered to the defendants at Washington, Ga.,
on the 28th of May, 1867, to be carried and
safely delivered by them to the plaintiffs at
Louisville, Kentucky.
It appeared that Sutton & Anderson, of
Washington, Ga., were indebted to the
plaintiffs in this case in the above named
sum, which plaintiffs authorized them to
transmit by the defendants, and that Sut
ton <fc Anderson did deposit a package
which it is alleged contained that amount
of money, with the defendants, to be trans
mitted to the plaintiffs, for whlcti their re
ceipt, hearing date May 28th, 1867, was
given in evidence on the trial of the case.
Maj.'J. P. Carr, of Augusta, Solicitor for
the Company, argued : 1. If the money was
sent by Sutton & Anderson at their own
risk, the plaintiffs in this case cannot re
cover, and that it was sent at their own
risk. 2. Tire receipt given by the Express
Company was an express contract, by
which ail the parties are bound, and that
one of the stipulations in that contract was
shat the defendants should either deliver
the money package to the plaintiffs in Louis
ville, or carry it safely only as jar as their
line extended.
Maj. Carr also argued that the plaintiffs
cannot recover in the present form of ac
tion, and that they can only recover upon
the receipt, which he claimed was a writ
ten contract between the parties.
It appeared from the evidence that a
package was received by the plaintiffs in
this case, at Louisville, Kentucky, purport
ing to contain one thusand four hundred
and eighty dollars in money, and to have
beeu sent by the Southern Express Compa
ny from Washington, Georgia, but that
upon opening the same it was found to
contain nothing hut slips of brown paper
and pieces of newspaper. Sutton testified
that he placed the sum of one thousand four
hundred and eighty dollars in bank bills in
the package, and delivered it to the agent
of the Express Company at Washington,
Georgia, for which he received the receipt
exhibited in court. The package was seal
ed when it was delivered to the agent of
the Express Company, and there was no
evidence that any person, with the excep
tion of Sutton, knew what it contained.
Major Carr argued to the jury that the
evidence warranted the belief that Sutton
put no money iu the package, and that it
was received by the plaintiff in the same
condition in which it was when it was re
ceived from Sutton, and that it had never
been tampered with from the time it was
received at Washington, Georgia, until it
was delivered to the plaintiffs at Louisville,
Kentucky. At the conclusion of the argu
ment of Major Carr, which was very able,
the court adjourned to Wednesday morning.
Mr. Lloyd made an able argument in be
half of the plaintiffs, on Wednesday, after
which the presiding Judge charged the
jury, who returned a verdict for the plain
tiffs.

New Printing Ink. —lt i«r stated that
Herr Kircher, of Constadt, Wartemburg,
has invented anew printing ink, which
by a peculiar process can be completely re

material is then ready for use again. The
inventor has already applied for a patent.

Upon the adjournment of the House, it
was announced that a caucus x of all Con

be held at the City Hall, at 3 o’clock.
The caucus met at that hour. Capt. J.
E. Bryant was called to the Chair, and
spoke as follows: He thanked the meet
ing for the honor conferred upon him
by calling him to the Chair. This was a
time when men who love their State should
unite to save the State from bankruptcy and
ruin. His position was well known; he had
been a Union soldier; was a Northern man
by birth; a Republican, dyed in the wool,
he had never cast any vote but lor a Re
publican ticket, and never expected to;
was well known as a friend of the colored
people; had battled for their rights, and
now stood where he had always stood.—
But this * was a time when the people
should unite against the Blodgett-Bul
lock faction; the contest was against men
who he believed intended to rob the State;
it was not a contest of Democracy against
Republicanism; it was a contest of the
people against bad men; he stood with the
people against these bad men; he called
upon all good men, regardless of color or
political prejudices, to unite.
31 r. Byrant closed by advising calm ac
tion. He said let ns be sure we are right
and theu act prudently, but firmly. He
advised the appointment of a committ|e to
consider the condition of affairs, and re
port to-morrow morning to an adjourned
meeting.
The following gentlemen were then ap

J O. Mathewson, Esq., Augusta, Ga. :
Dear Sir: 1 received yonr favor of October
15th, and would have answered it sooner, bnt
you wished to know what per cent. I was ben
efitted by the use of the one ton of SOLUBLE
PACIFIC GUANO, bought of you last Spring,
Rnd 1 could not tell correctly until 1 got
through ginning, which I did this last week.—
The SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO more than
doubled the yield ot Cotton on land unmuuured
before.
I planted ten acres last year without manure,
and made three (3) bales of Cotton ; planted
the same ten (10) acres this year, manured with
the one ton of 80LUBLE PACIFIC GUANO,
and made seven (7) bales, averaging over 400 lbs.
I have been a Cotton Planter for thirty years,
and all the time—except this year—making
“ Bumble-bee Cotton ” —the bumble bees stand on
their hind feet, on the ground, and suck from the
top blossoms. I never expect to plant another
acre without Manure, and wish you to send me
another ton of Soluble Pacific at once,and oblige
Yours, truly,
JOHN C. WILLIAMSON.
