OOJSI STITTTTIO2ST ALIST. A.UG-USTA. TUESDAY MORNING. MAY 24,1870 PULL DICK, PULL DEVIL. D. C. Forney, publisher of the Wash ington Chronicle, is out in a counterblast against the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is quite long and quite pungent. We learn, for the first time, that the Committee insisted upon seeing Forney’s books, be cause, ostensibly, they would not believe him under oath. This demand Forney resisted to the uttermost, but finally com plied with. Not only did the committee decline to trust Forney on his personal sacrament, but they even suspected the ledger of lying, for “ they held the pages to “ the light to see if no alterations had been “ made, and then applied a microscopic glass “to the figures'' Upon this point comment is entirely superfluous. Forney explains the exorbitance of his charges by swearing that much of the work paid for was done at night aud on the Lord’s Day. So, rascality perpetrated during the week is ordinary rascality, but rascality accomplished on the Sabbath is extra rascality, and must be paid for ac cordingly. It caunot be denied that Forney makes one good point, and, to save the poor wretch from total depravity, we give him the benefit of it. He plainly insinuates that, even if he was bribed, Congressmen of his political faith are more in the mud than he Is in the mire. He says: “ Clothed with their Congressional robes, such men rarely open their royal lips in court without being paid a royal largesse; and woe to the hapless corporation who scruples the consideration.” We accept Forney’s statement as having a smack of truth in it, for even chronic prevaricators can be’ veracious for pur poses of personal revenge; but what a rev elation this should be to the honest and deluded masses of the country! Bullock no doubt made a great mistake in his lop sided method of bribery. Men who pocket many thousands on a single transaction are sure to punish the imbecile who tempts them with such pittances as Bollock did withal. Here in Georgia we very properly think that Bollock has shown reckless and prodigal extravagance; but men at Washington who can, at any moment, roll tens of thousands under their tongues as sweet morsels, despise the paltry knave who hints at trifles. Forney winds up thus; “The only question Jhat remains for an swer is, whether, in view of this new demonstration of the justice of the cause of the Republicans of Georgia, that State Is to be remanded to the control of Robert Toombs and his associates.” Yes, that’s the question. Will Congress prefer a convicted knave, who claims po litical fellowship, to an honest Georgian who differs with them on principle ? The Judiciary Committee have proved Bollock to be a dishonorable man; and Forney, also feloniously branded, has declared that the Radical members of Congress are cor rupt even to rottenness. Upon the deci sion of the National Legislators will de pend, to some extent, the affirmation or de nial of Forney’s ferocious charge. Grant vs. Hancock.—Some time ago, G&U. Hancock wrote to Gen. Sherman in quiring why he was not promoted to the place made vacant by Thomas’ death.— Sherman returned this insulting answer ; “ 1 am requested by the President to inform “ you that there is nothing in your personal “ relations to General Grant, or in your “ official relations to his administration, that “ could justify your promotion now, or lead “ you to expect it hereafter." Poor Hancock ! —He is the best of all our late antagonists in arms; but lie hap pened to have personal knowledge of Grant’s gutter days, and he was inclined to be lenient to the South. Besides, he is a Democrat and no jobbing knave. How dare he ask such a favor as promotion ? Gen. Hancock will live long enough to wish he had broken his sword in 1860, or else used it against the destroyers of his country and its laws. When the most brilliant of war-Demoorats is thus pushed to the wall, what can tMe small fry hope for from the men and the party they so power fully contributed to raise to the seats of arrogance and misrule? Old Virginia. —The Richmond Dispatch predicts that the Conservatives will achieve a great victory in the election to be held this week. The Dispatch says.: “ The colored voter begins to see at last “ that the white people of Virginia are his “ best friends—that with them he must rise “ or fall—that they will divide with him “ fairly the benefits of government and the “ funds for education, and he has begun to “ leave the party which can do him no “ good, and whose policy will only perpetu “ ate the division of the State upon a line “ of color under which there can be no “ peace, no well ordered and successful in “ dustry.” Nonentity. —Faming against Demo cratic hatred of the Fifteenth Amendment, Forney says : «* These insane efforts against the ‘ Con stitution as it is,’ can do no harm to that great bulwark of civil and political rights, They are only important as in dictating the sure progress of the Democratic party to a position when it shall be a ‘ unit ’ and then speedily a nonentity.” Seventy-five thousand Democratic majority in New York. Let’s have a few more •< nonentities ” of/the same sort! The Raw Spot.— The procurement of a pardon from the “best government the world ever saw ” has to be accomplished by jobbing. There is a regularly organ ized Pardon Ring. So long as a majority of Congressmen, in both Houses, share the profits of this dirty traffic, there will never be general amnesty for “ rebels.” If Forney wants a thin whitewashing, let him expose the villainy of this Ring. Let him do it for revenge instead of forty cents a line. Shirking.— The Judiciary Committee ought to have given G. D. Chapman a chance of testifying as well as Senator Pomeroy. Their action in the premises is well said to be “ rather putting the.witness than the accused on trial.” Perhaps Chapman’s testimony would have been like rain—a plant-springer. De Lunatico Inquirendo.— Capt. Bryant says when he asks the Democracy for favors he shall be “ only fit for a lunatic asylum.” What are the Bryant Democracy fit for, then, who wished to force favors on this reluctant carpet-bagger? Name Him.— Captain Bryant says Blod gett has betrayed the Republican ! party by giving a member of the Democratic Cen tral Committee, go-called, a position on the State Road. Beats Bollock.—" Gov.” Reed, the Wisconsin Governor of Florida, is a trifle ahead of Bullock. He steals everything from the State. Having absorbed all the ready money, he lately put cheap tin pipes on the State House aud sold the valuaMe copper ones in New York for eighteen cents per pound. Reed having broken Florida, let Florida break Reed. Gone Up.—The New York Sun confesses that the Republican party of the Empire State is ruined and disgraced. The limes urges Congressmen of its party to display more wisdom and honesty or else prepare for annihilation in November and the future beyond. Making Rome Howl. —There was a live ly debate in the House of Representatives, the other day, relative to the Roman mis sion. A good deal of “No Popery ” was ventilated, on the Radical side, and it is presumed that Congo stands a better chance for a Minister than the Eternal City. If the Pope was only a negro . Too Bad.— Brother Clisby’s “ demnition liver” is out of order. Iu order to get it right, he wants somebody to sue him for libel so that he can go to the springs at State expense. Matters must be getting bilious up at Macon. Not Over. —Senator Morton, who is no fighting man, says the “ war is not over.” So long as Morton can make capital for Morton out of pardon-brokerage and the blood of the brave, it will never be over— for Morton. Tweedledum and Tweedlepee. —The 4uadicals have discovered fraud in the New York election. They did not see any fraud when Terry concocted a Legislature in Georgia, by order of Grant. A Sitting Fanatic.— Senator Morton “ always speaks in a sitting posture.” Now let the poor man lie down alto gether. The rest of the world would be a deal more comfortable. • Refuted. —Surgeon Suddard*, one of the survivors of the Oneida, avers that the officers of that ill-fated craft were not drunk, as asserted, at the time of collision with the Bombay. Retribution. —When Beast Butler seized upon private telegrams, Forney thought it all right. When the Judiciary Committee insisted upon seeing Forney’s ledger, Forney thought it all wrong. Dr. Wise. —Rev. Wise, editor of the Israelite, has begged Grant’s pardon and solicited his friendship. The P. U. S. ac cepted the apology and said, in effect, he was glad to see a sadder and a wiser man. In the Dumps.— Latest Washington .dis patches represent that Bullock and his crowd are “ utterly demoralized.” They expected that. the Judiciary Committee would at least yellow-wash them. [From the Correipoodence of the tiichmond Dispatch. An Interesting Letter from Georgia Concerning Hon. A. H. Stephens. Crawfordvillk, Taliaferro Cos., Ga., > May, 16, 1870. * 1 write from this busy little county seat, famous as the residence of Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, our distinguished ex-Confede rate Vice-President; and knowing that anything cernccrning the great Georgia statesman will be interesting to your Vir ginia readers, I will give you a few items. I spent the day recently with Mr. Steph ens at his residence here (Liberty Hall). — This is an unassuming country house, a white frame building erected with an eye to comfort and convenience, which end its proprietor has most successfully attained. It is the cosiest, coolest, most inviting bachelor’s retreat I ever visited —opening upon a grassy lawn, unusual iu this State, and shaded by a number of pretty oaks, locusts, &c. I found Mr. Stephens looking very pale and emaciated, reclining in his invalid chair, and intently discussing some law points in a murder case with a legal friend. Though extremely feeble, when interested or excited he would sit up erect, his re markable eye would sparkle with its old fire, and he would address his hearers in an animated and always convincing strain. It is his custom, when the weather is fine, to sit in his easy chair in his verandah, and as he converses wheels him self slowly back and forth by a convenient arrangement which costs him but a little effort, and. as he says, exercises and strengthens his arms and chest. When the sun gets low he calls for his crutches and hobbles slowly over the lawn and through his well-kept garden, in which he seems much interested. Having but a partial use of his legs, Mr. Stephens walks with difficulty on his crutches. He says his hip is dislocated, and thinks he will never be able to lav his crutches aside. Mr. S. has just put his finishing touches to his second volume of “The War be tween the States,” and some copies are now in the hands of the agents. This work is an invaluable addition to our literature, giving what has never yet been attained— an impartial history 8f our late troubles. The author manifests great interest in the fate of his work. He told me when the first volume appeared, closely followed by a lengthy criticism in Bledsoe's Review, he read the whole fifty-one pages before he put it dowu, which he did with a sense of relief; “his ship had weathered that gale and not a plank was sprung, and he felt that she was seaworthy.” But I may be tiring your readers with this panegyric, as it might be called, for I have also been possessed with the senti ment of love, respect and almost venera tion with which every Georgian regards this great and good man. Truly is he em balmed in the hearts of all, and his good deeds will live after him. Many now in stations of affluence and honor in Church, in State and in the private walks of life, look up to him as a father and a benefac tor, who found them in poverty, gave them and incentive, encouraged with kind and hopeful words, and then furnished means to enable them to rise and become useful, and, in some instances, eminent citizens. Botetourt. Motives for Prolonging the Tax.— The New York Journal of Commerce is show ing what motives are at work to secure a prolongation of the odious income tax.— Thoughtful, sensible men condemn it whether they are rich or poor, and (says the writer) they would probably create a sufficient public opinion to secure its dis continuance, but for the secret purposes of the party iu power, who find it an excellent auxiliary in their schemes for keeping men ot means and intelligence more or less in their grasp. Some Democrats wish the time extended for the same reason, looking forward to their own resumption of power and eager to clutch at the hold it would give them upon the class it most affects.— It may be that the exposure of this motive may defeat the attempt to renew the tax, but we shall be disappointed if it does.— The party in power will make the tax more one-sided to silence all popular clamor, and they will care nothing about the constitu tional restriction, as they have already by law prohibited the courts from interfering with the collection of this or any other tax. All that can be done, if the tax is revived, will be the payment under protest and suits for its recovery. This may not be generally adopted, but the Journal thinks enough such suits will be brought to convince the governing party that they have mistaken the extent of their ower over the rights of the people.

[Special Correspondence Atlanta,Constitution. A Thieving Carpet-Bag. STRANGE THINGS IN NORTH GEORGIA. Dalton, Ga., May 16,1870. Editors Constitution: I believe it was Solomon who said “ evil communications corrupt good morals.” lu.proof of the wise man’s saying, I give you the following in cident which occurred in our city a short time since, and which showeth that the corruption extends even to inanimate things. It occurred in this wise: For some time past room No. 15, Georgia Hotel, had been occupied by a young lady. On a certain day she vacated the room, having pro cured boarding in a private house, and had caused all her baggage to be removed ex cept a very valuable water-proof, over cloak, which was left hanging up in the room under charge of the chambermaid.— On the same day a certain Rev. Dr. from your city, familiarly known as the Old Spotted Horse, arrived here, and applied at the Georgia Hotel for a room. The house being otherwise full, he was put into the room just vacated as above. Next morning the young lady sent for her cloak, and the chambermaid, using her duplicate key, entered the room. To her dismay the cloak was no where to be found. She called the landlady, who came up and made another search, but in vain. On the table was the carpet-bag of the aforesaid Rev. Dr., locked, but the key in the hole. Having looked everywhere else, they un locked the bag, and there, neatly folded, was the identical cloak in question. Without disturbing anything, they re locked the bag and left the room. In the bar, the Rev. Dr. was reading the morn ing paper. The landlady approached, and, describing the cloak, asked if he had seen it. With his usual candor, the Rev. Dr. replied he bad never seen it. J ust then the up passenger arrived. Rev. Dr. rushed up to the room, seized his carpet-bag, and got aboard. In that emergency the landlord iollowed on the train, and quietly telling that he happened to know that the cloak was in his carpet-bag, requested that it be opened. Rev. Dr., somewhat excited, pro posed that they should retire to the room again. They did so. Rev. Dr. opened the carpet-bag, took out and handed the land lord the identical cloak. Now, how did the cloak get in there? Rev. Dr. said he had never seen it, and no one can doubt his veracity. No one else had been in the room. The solution is easy. Carpet bags, formerly as good man nered a piece of furniture as a gentleman could have, from association with the bag gers, have themselves gone to stealing. P.

Indian Spring. —A very brief visit to this hitherto favorite resort of health and pleasure seekers, within the .past few days, afforded us another opportunity of profit able relaxation from the cares of every day life. The regular season opening is set for June Ist, but we found quite a number al ready congregated, among whom we no ticed sevaral representatives of Macon ; Co lumbus, Albany, Hawkinsville, Fort Valley and Griffiu, were also represented, as was also the far North and Minnesota. Indian Spring, it may be stated, is the property of the State. The Indians retain ed their title to it long after they had sold out their remaining lands east and south of the Chattahoochee, and were in the habit annually of resorting to jt by thousands during the Summer months. So highly were there the medicinal properties of the waters appreciated by them, that they gave it the expressive name of “ Healing Wo man’s Waters.” It finally passed into the hands of the State, by the agency of Mcln tosh, contrary to the wish of his tribe, and there is no doubt but that the act of trans ferring the title called down upon him the vengeance of his followers, and resulted in his death at their hands. The grounds be longing to the State, in the centre of which is the spring, have been but littledchanged, and retain much of the original romantic scenery. Vandal hands have removed a portion of the wild growth of timber, and we noticed a few recent depredations have occurred. The little spring, however, continues to ripple out its delicious water as constantly asever. The original appearance has been almost religiously preserved—what that feature is will be remembered by the many thousands who have visited the spot within the past fifty years. The walks and bridges have been cared for, and all things con sidered, Indian Spring is one of the most pleasant Summer resorts in the South.— Ample provision has been made for bathing —there being two fine bath houses, and the large hotels are being fitted up so as to be. able to accommodate visitors to the full extent of their capacity. Professors McDonald and Robison are arranging to take charge of the large assembly room during thp season, and unusual attractions in the Terpsichorean line will be afforded. We were advised that the engagements of rooms already made, for the season, far exceeded the experience of the past few years, and a large crowd is expected. Those who have the time to spare will be fortunate if they visit this delightful, health-giving and economical watering place, during the ensuing season. Neither of the hotels or boarding houses have yet advertised their rates, but we were informed that all had determined upon mak ing a material reduction in their charges. This will place it within the pecuniary power of all to enjoy a season of recreation during the heated term of Summer, and we may expect hundreds to embrace the op portunity.—Macon Journal. William H. Turner, a native of Georgia, twenty-nine years of age, was arrested on Monday, charged with stealing two tickets of the Pennsylvania Central Rail road, for passage from New York to St. Louis, of the value of s7l.

NANNIE ELLS : DIED, MAY 18TH, 1870. Dear Nannie, thou hast left ns, Ttiy gentle spirit’s flown ; Thou wer’t so pure a flow’ret ■ God claimed thee lor His own. Like one. of His bright angels, He sent thee for a while. To shed thy radiance ’round us In thy life so free from gnile. Oh, bright and happy moments Were those when thou wer’t here— A sunshine smiling o’er us, A gladness ever near. Like as the heavens grow darkest When the brightest stars have shone, Their glory disappearing, Dark gloom comes stealing ou. So seem the skies above us, And all is dark and drear; t Our star, onr best beloved one, Has left us lonely here. Soft as the breath of morning Meltiug into day, Vanished thy loving spirit From this sad world away. Another voice is singing Praise with the seraph throng ; Another lamb is wandering The cooling streams along. Two little feet are treading Paths where no thorns can come; Another little pilgrim Has safely entered — Home. Home! where no more is sighing, Nor sorrow cometh ever— Where all is love undying Around the throne forever. How, then, can we wish tbee Back to this “vale of tears ;” From a heaven of joy and brightness, To a world of pain and fears ? To onr Father now we yield thee, And trust when our life is o’er, That we’ll greet again iu Heaven, Meet there to part no more. G. T. B. Augusta, Ga., May 21st, 1870. State Items. The oat crop in Troup county is a per fect failure. Corn and cotton poor. An extensive copper mine is being work ed in Murray county. Mr. Leroy M. Wilson has been appointed by the United States Marshal as census taker for Morgan county. The Madison Journal reports wheat near ly matured, from the farm of Mr. Jamtfs Cochran, who expects to commence har vesting during the first of the present week. A severe drought prevails in West Point and its surroundings. There is great com plaint of a poor stand of cotton. Corn is suffering for rain. The oat crop will prove a perfect failure and wheat is also suffering. The Atlanta Board of Health have had several guano dealers notified that they must remove the guano from their ware houses within the next thirty days, because parties residing near by object to the per fume. A New Industry—Packing Roast Beef. —Texas is essentially the bovine State, and its motto of a lone star should be replaced by a pair oi long ox horns. There are live million head of cattle in Texas and more coining every year, and beef in all its forms is becoming the great staple of the State. Several years ago, thousands upon thousands of beeves were slaughtered for the hides, tallow and tongues. .Then jerking and smoking the beef followed. Next we had “refrigerated beef;” then “condensed beef,” and now, the Houston papers come to us with long descriptions of a factory where the bullock is killed, the meat roasted and then packed for shipment. Here is what is said about the oven where the roasting is done: “The oven will hold eight to ten steers at a time, and will roast twenty a tffcyv— The buildings are calculated for oneyriion dred beeves a day, and space has be&n left for four more ovens like the one construct ed. It is intended to increase the business as fast as a market can be created for the meat. On the premises purchased there are sites just as convenient as this one for nine more establishments of the same size, and the business will be increased as fast as a market can be found for the roast beef, up to one thousand a day, or any number that can be sold, up to that amount. Cast Steel Rails for the North Mis souri Railroad. —The North Missouri Railroad has purchased 2,000 tons of cast steel rails, all to be delivered during the present year. Five hundred tons will be delivered during the month of August. It is the intention of the directors of this road to make it one of the very best in America, and to substitute steel rails for the iron ones now down, throughout its entire length of 400 miles, as rapidly as possible. These rails are each required to stand a test of a one ton weight falling vertically twenty feet on it, with supports under the rail three feet apart. The 2,000 tons pur chased will lay twenty miles of road, most of which will be between Bt. Louis and St. Charles. Office-Holding Preachers. —Conecuh county, Alabama, it appears, fully honors the representatives of “ the cloth.” The Evergreen Observer enumerates: After a careful investigation, we find that at least one-third of the offices in Co necuh county are filled by expounders of the Bible. Ist. Our Circuit Judge, who holds court twice a year in this county, is a preacher. Our Judge of Probate is a preacher. Our county Superintendent of Education is a preacher. Two of the mem bers of the County Commissioners’ Court are preachers. Our postmaster at Ever green is a preacher. A Justice of the Peace in Old Town beat is a preacher, and the Railroad Director from Conecuh coun ty in the Mobile and Montgomery Rail road is a preacher. It does seem that everything ought to run smooth, since we have so many good men in office. It will be remembered that a few days ago a lusus natures, was played in Williams burg, whereby a child was born with a head shaped like that of a horse. The parents of this monster are very poor, and as it is impossible to rear such an offspring without inconvenience and expense—providing that it can live for any length of time—the strange being will be exhibited ®n a»d after to-day at No. 117 West twenty-seventh street. So remarkable a freak of nature is interesting not only for purposes of science, but also for curiosity’s sake. Nothing is charged for admission, but all donations which may be received will be used in sup porting the unfortunate being. [New York Woi'ld. The North Carolina papers contain the notice of the death of Mr. Dennis Hart, printer, and the oldest editor in North Carolina, who died in Friday last in the 87th year of his age. Mr. Hart was a native of Connecticut, but came to North Carolina in early life. In the year 1820 he began the publication of the Hills boro Recorder, which paper he conducted until about one year ago. Mr. Bonner (say the papers) has-had the lead water pipes removed from his stables and replaced with tin-lined lead pipes. If the owners of tenement houses could be prevailed upon to have as much considera tion for the health of human beings,.there would be a visible decrease in hospital practice and the city mortality. It is a bad day when the rich man’s horse is thought more worthy of protection from poison than the working men and women of a community. Charles O’Conor, now in' Rome assisting his .Archbishop, on being asked whether the passage of the dogma of infallibility would not produce a schism in the Church, replied ; “ Perhaps it may ; but If it does; it is only so mnch the worse for the schis matics—they will be cast off, but the Church will stand firm and strong on the rock of infallible truth."

Washington, May 23—Noon.—In the House, the following, among other bills, were introduced: For improvement of Cumberland river, which was referred ; to exempt internal and coastwise vessels from tonnage duties; passed. The bill enforcing the Fifteenth Amend ment was non-concurred in, and a commit tee of conference asked. Blain appointed Bingham, Davis and Kerr the committee on the part of the House. The Senate is discussing an alleged error in the Journal, whereby the sixteenth sec tion ' forbids legislation against Chinese in the enforcement bill. The committees have done nothing. Washington, May 23—P. M—The President nominated Henry A. Bartham, of North Carolina, Consul at Tampico ; G. D. Smith, Collector for the Eighth Vir ginia District.

In the House, the bill providing for the appointment of an examiner of claims and three additional clerks for the State De partment passed. The House resumed appropriations at 3 o’clock, when the vote was taken on seat ing Newsham, from Louisiana. He was sworn in by a vote of 95 to 77. The bill placing a resident Minister at Rome was defeated. Judd moved to suspend the rules, that he might introduce and have passed a bill to reduce the duties on imports, as follows: On syrup, molasses and all sugars, and on salt, 33% per cent.; on coffee and tea. 20 per cent.; on pig and scrap iron, 22% per cent. The motion was rejected by yeas, 102; nays, 82; less than two-thirds voting in the negative. It is storming and wires working slow. NEW YORK New York, May 23. — The cotton move ment for the past week is larger both in re ceipts and exports ; receipts at all points, 44,055 bales against 38,280 last week, 57,83 G previous Week, and 50,564 three weeks since; receipts at all ports for the expired portion of cotton for year, 2,719,023 against, 2,020,025 for the corresponding period last year, showing an increase of 098,771 bales; exports from all ports, 45,787 against, 51,240 last week and 41,626 for same week last year. Total exports of unexpired portion of the year is estimated at 1,884,933, against 1,318,- 952 for the corresponding period last year. Receipts for the past week exceed the previous week 5,000, but exports fall off in a corresponding degree ; receipts at the ports in immediate future will depend somewhat on the prospects of the growing plant. If the crop promises well, plant ers will market the balance of the crop* rapidly ; but should the new crop meet serious drawbacks, and there arc al ready complaints from some sections, planters will hold cotton for better prices. The bulk of cotton has been marketed, and the season is drawing rapidly to a close. Bankers have advanced the rates of sterl ing, in consequence of the falling off in ex ports, to within a fraction of the specie shipping point for gold coin. Already Canada coin has gone forward, and on Saturday the steamer Donau took $350,000 in gold bars. This shows an important bearing of the cotton trade on foreign ex change, and is likely to be further illus trated in the immediate future. Governments are relatively higher here than in Europe, and Railroad Securities have received a severe blow on the other side; this leaves the country the alternative of shipping of other produce than cotton to fill the gap, or to ship gold. As an in stance of the dullness of exports, some European steamers have gone out with stone ballast, owing to the small amount of freight and low rates.

He said delegates will be sent to the General Assembly sitting in Louisville, to convey the salutation of the Assembly here, and present resolutions that were unanimously adopted. The delegates who will be sent are spoken of as men of great liberality of sentiment, and notwithstand ing they have been prominent men in Northern Assemblies, and will still faith fully represent the earnest desire of the As sembly for re-union.

Roanoke College, Virginia.— We had the pleasure of meeting, last evening, Mr. Julius D. Dreher, a graduate of the above named institution of learning, who is trav eling through the South for the purpose of presenting its claims to Southern patron age and support. The situation of the Col lege—between the Alleghany and Blue Ridge. Mountains—its excellent curriculum and earnest corps of professors, all recom mend it highly to the support of our peo ple. The Microcosm, published by the stu dents, is, we believe, the first and only one issued from any institution in the South. Mr. Dreher is also the agent for the popu lar aud growing periodical, the XlXlh Century, which requires no commendation at our hands. Mr. Dreher can be found at the Globe Hotel to-day, between 11 and 2 o’clock, where he will be pleased to represent the claims of the college and receive subscrip tions to the magazine. Handsome Residence. —Mr. W. F.

The site is a fine one, and susceptible of being made very handsome. The building when completed will cost between $6,000 and SB,OOO. Home Industry in the South.— The ladies of Beaufort, South Carolina, whom the events of the civil war deprived of their possessions, have turned their attention to a branch of industry flrom which they hope to derive the means ©f subsistence. They make the green oranges which are pro duced on the plantations into preserves, and send them to the North for a market. They are skilfully prepared and are neatly put up in glass jars. Recorder’s Court.— Yesterday morn ing Aleck Wiiliaips (colored) was arraigned for violation of the 18th section. Plead guilty, and dismissed on payment of cost. Mahone the Second Best Fighter op the late Confederate Army.—A writer, in the New York Evening Mail, of the 12th instant, under the signature of “ A Student of Both Sides,” endeavors to establish for Mahone a reputation as a fighting General second to but one other (Stonewall Jack son) in the late Confederate Array. Under the special head of “ What One Man Can Do,” he writes: To give an idea of what one man can do in command of men transfused by him with his manhood, it is sufficient to state that Mahone, with only eight thousand bay onets, occasioned to the North, in the cam paign which commenced on the Rapid an, sth May, 1864, and ended on the Appomat tox, 9th April, 1865, a loss of 12,000 men in prisoners and 13,000 in casualties in dead, wounded and missing, besides cap turing thirty-six pieces of artillery and forty-four battle flags. These statistics were gathered from our own reports by Mahone. What is more, with his depleted division (not over 1,500 men all told), he alone frus trated the success of the mine explosion, backed by a mass of 50,000 to 70,000 Union, troops—a fearful aggregation of troops competent to do anything, If they had been determinedly and scientifically “ pnt in”— a force and mass, if properly applied, suffi cient lo have carried Petersburg, at a blow and have crushed that portion of Lee’s army in their front into the nothingness of slaughter, capture and dispersion. There was nothing between Meade’s 50,000 to 70,000 men but an attenuated line under an inefficient commander until Mahone came up three miles to throw himself into the gap, and then, with a loss of two hundred and fifty men, to win back the captured works, with an admitted list of casualties to us of 5,240 in killed, wounded and pris oners—twenty-one times his own list of casualties. This operation will be explain ed more at length in its appropriate place. The sketch contains some interesting reminiscences of the war—doubly interest ing when it is considered that the writer is a Northern man. A Man Blown Up by an Ale Bar rel. —On Tuesday last, a man named John Y. Stomps, bar-tender at the Star Billiard Saloon in Knoxville, Tennessee, was severe ly injured by the bursting of a half barrel of Walker’s ale. In turning over the bar rel the bottom was driven out violently. Heavy pieces of wood struck him in the face and knocked him down. Other por tions of the bottom were driven against the ceiling, cutting through the plaster and laths as If they had been struck with the edge of an ax. The bar-tender was picked up insensible, having his upper jaw broken in two places, his mouth cut badly, teeth knocked out, and a deep gash in the upper portion of the inside of the mouth. None of that beverage for us. Old “ Sor ghum ” wouldn’t behave that badly. Black Specks.— Those black specks in the face usually supposed to be small worms, may be squeezed out by gentle pressure, but will come again in a few days. A permanent cure can be effected by the use of the following preparation: White brandy, 5 oz; cologne, 1 oz; liquor potass, % oz. Wash the face with warm water, use a rough towel, then apply a little of the preparation. This recipe has been sold as high as a hundred dollars, and is certain ly worth trying. Wanted to Know.— His Honor Mayor Allen has received a letter of inquiry from M. Longinotti, Borzonaxa, Italy, in refer ence to the present whereabout of his father, Guiseppe Longinotti, who at one time (February, 1860) lived with an Irish family on Bridge Row, in this city.

General Conference of the Method ist Episcopal Church South —Memphis, May 20.—1n the General Conference of the Methdiost Episcopal Church, South, fifth day. Bishop Kavauaugh presiding, the re port. of the committee on boundaries, sub mitted yesterday, was adopted as to the formation of new conferences. The committee on the circulation of the Holy Scriptures submitted au able and elaborate report, which was adopted. The select committee on the Book Con cern reported in favor of continuance at Nashville, and this provoked a lengthy discussion, participated in, en a substitute to remove it to Baltimore, by Drs. Bond and Watson, of Baltimore, and Moran, of North Carolina, in favor of the substitute, and Mr. McFerrin, of Tennessee, Evans and Gain in the opposition. After the discussion had been continued some time, Major Dawson, of Kentucky, offered an amendment substituting Louis ville in lieu of Baltimore, with a proviso that Louisville pay the proposed $50,000, pending which the conference adjourned. The Raleigh Sentinel says: David Ellison, of Surry county, or, rather, Mrs. David Ellison, wife, has a baby, twelve months old on the 11th inst., which weighs sixty pounds.
