The Hound Tilde of last week ha.s an
article on the revival of intemperance,
which.has lately taken place, and asserts
that the ravages of the vice are particular
ly noticeable among women. It says :
Drinking is again becoming fashionable,
and the ladies are responsible for this re
trogression. Two weeks ago we found occa
sion to notice the prevalence of drinking
among ladies at our watering places ; hut
is not alone at the watering places
at the ladies thus indulge. At their
i homes, at the stores, and at those
'ic nuisances culled ladies’ restaurants
•ire accustomed to drink liquors. The
•f atipsey or intoxicated woman is
ointuon at the seaside, and it is by
extraordinary upon Broadway.
Vi the best authority for stating
that s. of the most elegant ladies of our
leading ci.'es will pass this summer not at
Saratoga or Newport, as usual, but at an
asylum lor inebriates. And wo assert upon
the same authority tiiat the vice ol’fashion
able drinking is now more prevalent among
the ladies than among the gentlemen of this
country.
In support of these statements instances
of the most distressing character have been
brought to notice. Some women trace
their degradation to a natural appetite lor
spirits, and others to a habit formed dur
ing a loi.g illness, when they were ordered
to drink liquors as a tonic. Once devel
oped, the taste seems less controlublc in
women than in uicn. The ladies drink in
secret. They have private bottles hidden
about the house, in spite of the vigilance
of doctors, nurses, husbands and lathers.
Certain dress-makers make it a point to
furnish their customers with drink, and
some of the most fashionable mu iso n* tic*
modes are, in fact, fashionable drinking
houses. In some stores bottles of wine are
also kept on hand for lady shoppers, and
in others the merchants allow their boys to
be sent to the nearest bar-room for liquor
when ladies desire it. At the so-called la
dies' restaurants all sorts of fancy drinks
are as freely ordered by and supplied to
women us creams and ices used to be, and
anybody who will take the trouble to visit
ou t of these resorts may see well-dresstd,
fashionable ladies enter unattended and
call for liquors at all hours of the day.
These are startling facts ; but there arc
others still more surprising and equally
true. Our fashionable female drinkers do
not care so much for wines, and claret
punches, and sherry coolers. They cun
obtain such beverages at dinner or at even
ing parties, and when left to themselves
they ureter stronger spirits. Whiskey and
brandy are the favorite drinks with these
ladies. It may be true that a women is
very far gone upon the downward road
when she can order and drink such stimu
lants in a public saloon ; but still hundreds
of women in our best, society do this every
day. Some of the saloons which they fre
quent do not have the stronger liquors
upon the bill of fare, bu. a neat little sign
which reads, '‘lf you do not see what you
want ask for it,” gives the hint to the in
itiated.
In dress makers’ bills the significant
‘‘small trimmings” often covers up the ex
pense of liquors which the lady has ordered
through the modiste who panders to her
vitiated taste. At the watering places a
brilie to the waiter procures a secret supply
of liquor, which, by the connivance of the
landlord, is charged as “extra luncheons.”
Thus the poor infatuated women find no
dilfieulty in obtaining the means of intoxi
cation, and often the man of business,
engrossed with his cares and thoughtlessly
unsuspicious of the serpent that has crept
into his Eden, discovers to his horror that
his wife or daughior'has become a confirmed
drunkard, and that all his efforts to reform
her are utterly useless.
If we couid unroof the houses of this
and other cities we would exhibit to the
reader instances of female intoxication that
make angels weep. Mothers of families
breaking the hearts of their husbands and
daughters by this vice. Girls of eighteen,
the daughters of our most respectable
merchants, have been seen grossly intoxi
cated on Broadway stages and upon the
public streets. Many a home, apparently
most elegant and attractive, is rendered a
perfect pandemonium by one of the lady
inmates through this weakness. The
belles at fashionable watering places, this
summer, who sit upon piazzes late at night,
aud think it very amusing to be made
"tunny” by drinking withgentlemen, little
know the fate that is in store for them.
The painted courtesans who flaunt in low
g toggeries, and nerve themselves for their
toui vocation by glasses of gin, are hardly
so much to be pitied as these respectable la
dies, who secretly indulge the same craving
for stimulants, but who are unable to con
ceal the efieets of their indulgences.
Senator Sherman's finance BUI.
The New York Journal, in its money ar
ticle of the 25th, says:
. and here is considerable dissaticfaetioti man
ifested in Wall street in regard to the Fi
nancial Bill of Senator Sherman, in which
is included a clause requiring four months ■
notice from the holders of 7-30 bonds, as i
to whether they intend offering them for j
payment at maturity, or to convert them j
into long bonds as they are now privileged j
to do. And another point is. to exclude j
the Compound Interest bearing legal tender \
notes from being included in the bank re- ,
serve required by law. It is intimated that
tiie New York city banks, and, in fact, all
large hanking institutions will refuse, point- ‘
only, to consider, for a moment, the obey
ing of such a law. should it be enacted, as
they consider it as being in direct opposi
tion to the rights as granted to them when
the bill was passed making those notes
leg.il tender: and they contend—and right
ly so—that the government has no right to
interfere in the matter, as it is not. in any
way, detrimental to the interests of the
people for the banks to hold these notes i
auv more than if they were held by private !
individuals, and the only way which is |
open to the government, is to pay them a;
maturity, or buy them up at present rates. ;
and cancel them as fast as such purchases ,
can bo made, and make no further issue
of Interest Bearing Notes, even if it should
be doomed a Disable to continue the pres- i
ent volume, of currency afloat. In regard
to these points of Mr. Sherman’s Bill, tin
Commercial Advertiser says
“An individual debtor, thus tamperin',
with his engagements, would bo scouted
from all circles of credit. What can lx
thought of a Government, with enortuou

any whim of fancy ? There is no knowing

The Barbarous Tribes of Africa.
At a meeting of the London Ethnologi
cal Society, July 10th, an interesting paper
was read by S. W. Baker, the well known
traveler, on ‘‘The Tribes of the N : le
Basin,” in which he described many of
the native tribes in the centre of Africa,
with whom he and Mrs. Baker came in
contact during his exploration of the !
sources of the Nile. He confined himself ,
principally to a description of those tribes
which appear to have been completely shut
■ out from the world s history, having been
barred out from the earliest ages from the
rest of the world by the almost intermina
ble marsh through which the Y\ hite Nile
wind- its course. Y\ ithout any exception,
i they are without a belief in a hupreme Be
i ing. nor have they any form of idolatry or
-uporstition. The men are perfectly naked,
apparently not knowing that they are so;
the girls, up to the age of about 15. are also
entirely naked, after which period they wear
j a slight fringe of a few inches in length.
They are physically strong, exceedingly tall j
| and muscular, they build small circular
huts, congregate in villages, arid generally
cultivate a small amount of grain (dhurra) I
n the drier portions of their land. There
i- no actual negro type, excepting the ’
woolly hair: the forehead is rather low, j
the head broad, the back of the skull j
heavy, but neither is the jaw prominent
nor are the lips extraordinarily full, nor is
the nose flattened. They possess large 1
herds of cattle which they never kill, con- j
tenting themselves with bleeding them j
periodically, sometimes drinking the blood
raw, sometimes boiling it. Milk is their
chief diet, invariably mixed with cow's ;
urine. They catch game in pitfalls, spear
fish with harpoons by casting at random,
and they are continually at war with
neighboring tribes, owing to razzias upon
their herds. They have no laws of mar
riage. the number of a man’s wives de
; pending upon his wealth in cattle, a wife
being invariably purchased for her value
|in cows. This may lie accepted as a gen
i oral outline of the tribes bordering the
White Nile. They are armed with lances,
some with bows and arrows, clubs of
1 iron wood, and they are governed
j by chiefs, none of whom appear to have
much control over their subjects.
; Glass beads, and both copper and. iron
rings, iron liocs, and lance heads are the
common articles of barter. They wo A in
iron, forming lances, arrow heads careful
ly barbed, and they prepare charcoal for
months’ work. Their ornaments consist
1 of heads, iron rings, with which the wo
men load their ankles, and strings of round-
I ed pieces of river shells wound round their
i waists and necks. In some countries,
: such as the Shir, where no iron ore exists
the arrow heads are formed of iron wood,
file absence of articles and weapons of
! metal in no way proves their excess of
snvagedom ; having no metals to work,
there are no blacksmiths. The hard wood
j supplies the want of iron,'as the hard stone
i is used by the New Zealanders, and flint
stones formerly served for arrow heads,
| the Kyteii tribe is the exception to all
| others in abject misery, and in the lowest
stage of savagedom. They never cultivate,
j probably owing to the miserable marsh,
i which would render it impossible,
j Tlius they are dependent upon fish
ing and trapping for their existence,
neither of which appears to be
i productive, as the natives are a race of
skeletons. They wander like storks over
the country, searching for lizards, mice,
: snakes, locusts, and white ants. Hours
| are spent in digging field mice from their
i burrows. The men are, of course, naked,
j and their hair is stained red by a thick
: plaster of' cow dung and wood ashes, the
change of color being the effect of the pot
j a.'h. ■ The women are equally nakea as
| the men, not having even the slight nt
i tempt at clothing common among other
| tribes. Should a man become old his
eldest son occupies the place of his father
in the domestic establishment, and suc
ceed’s to his parent’s wives. Nothing can
be lower in the human race than this
wretched tribe ; there is hardly a remove
in advance of the chimpanzee, except the
power of speech. In the sth degree of
; north latitude the Bari tribes commences,
\ and the natives of that district are far
superior to the three previously described,
i The country is dry and fertile, and diversi
| tied by mountains. The men and women
1 are tall and muscular, the mountains are
rich in iron ore, which they smelt and work
| with great dexterity. They cultivate the
I ground and use manure for their crops.
I Their huts are, like those of all African
tribes, circular, having a low doorway,
j about two feet high, like the entrance to a
dog kennel. Mr. Baker attaches consider
| able importance to the generally circular
■ form of the huts of the African tribes, as
I characteristic of their similarity. The dis
| tinctions of tribes are marked, almost with-
I out exception, by distinctions in head-dress,
i which in all cases is accompanied by a dis
! tinct language. On reaching the Western
i bend of tne Nile, in North latitude 2 deg.
la min., a sudden change takes place. The
| river is the boundary of savagedom, and on
! crossing the ferry to the South batik Mr.
Baker came to a people differing totally in
their appearance anu habits from those on
i the North. That country, named Unyoro,
i is governed by a despot, and it exhibits
| a degree of order and civilization unknown
Ito the Northern tribes. Nakedness is con
j sidered a disgrace, and both men and wo
i men are carefully clothed with bark cloth
lor prepared skins. They are excellent
smiths, they draw wire, and make good
; knives aud lances: cultivate the ground
t with great care, grow tobacco, and indulge
I in the use of double pipes, two bowls being
united to a single stem, and they are thus
enabled to smoke two qualities of tobacco
at one time Their huts, though circular,
are much larger and more lofty than those
of the other tribes, and have an entrance
six feet high, with portico. Mr. Baker
then proceeded to notice the tribes on the
borders of Abyssinia, who are in a still
superior state of civilization. The Abyssin
! ian affluents of the Nile, he observed,
j sprung from a land inhabited by the only
independent Christian country in thewhole
of Africa, among whom reading and wri
ting are common, and where the features
and form of the inhabitants are closely al
lied to the European, forming a strong
contrast to the tribes who inhabit the
banks of the White Nile.
Dr. Beke made some remarks on the re
trogression of civilization among the Afri
can tribes. In his opinion they are be
| coming more and more savage, and he as
serted that nearly all travelers in Africa
were of that opinion. He referred to the
period, 1,500 years ago, when the people
of Abyssinia were in a highly enlightened
condition, and far above the state of civili
zation now existing there. Dr. Beke pro
duced a letter which he had that day re
ceived from the Emperor Theodore, in
which it was stated that the captives had
been liberated.
The Memphis Blot— Olllclal Beport.
Just, before the adjournment of Congress
the official report of the committee sent to
investigate all matters in connection with
the Memphis riots and massacre, was
made to the House. It was signed by rep
resentatives Washburne, of Illinois, and
Hromall, of Pennsylvania, the other mem
ber, Mr. Bhanklin, of Kentucky, dissent
ing.
They say the outbreak of the disturb
ance resulted from a collision between the
policemen and discharged colored soldiers,
which was seized upon as a pretext for an
organized and bloody massacre of the
colored people of Memphis, regardless of
ago, sex or condition, inspired by the teach
ings of the press, and led on by the sworn
officers of the law, comprising city, Gov
ernment and others. The whole evidence
discloses the killing of men, women and
children, the innocent, unarmed, and de
fenseless, pleading for their lives and cry
ing for mercy ; the wounding, beating and
maltreating of a still greater number,
miming, pillaging and robbing, consuming
4 dead bodies in the flames, the burning
dwellings, attempts to burn up whole
families in their houses, and the brutal and
evoking ravishing of defenseless and
terror-stricken women.
rhe report recapitulates the number of
voiored people killed at 46 ; whites 3 ;
apes oil colored women. 5 ; maltreated,
‘' l • robberies. 100 ; houses and cabins
.turned. 91 ; churches. 9; school houses,
!-’• value ol the property destroyed. $130,-
The Committee say the feeling in Mem
phis. and indeed through that entire see
ion of the country, -hows that there is
ittle lovaity to the Government and the
lag. The state of things in Memphis is
very much now as it was before the break
ng out of the rebellion.
The Committee deliberately state that,
n their judgment, there will be no safety
o loyal men, either white or black, should
he troops be withdrawn aud no military
protection afforded.
The Committee believe it to be the duty
>f the Government to first try and punish
he offenders of military authority ; also,
y the same authority, to levy a tax upon
he citizens of Memphis sufficient to cover
.he Josses of all the property destroyed.
TUK Pope.— It is announced that for
mine time past the health of the Pope has
ippeared to be tailing, and his condition
■auses no little anxiety to his Cardinals,
with whom he speaks frequently of ap
■’reaching death. Pius IX., the present
Pope, was bom in May, 1792, and is seven
ty-four years old. He ascended the Papal
throne in I >46, and has occupied it twenty
years. A correspondent writes to us that
there is a general feeling in Rome that no
Pope will hold his office longer than did St.
Peter, who is said to have governed the
Chure for twenty-five years. Adrian I.
was Pope nearly twenty-four years ; Pius
* b twenty-four years six months and
fourteen days; Pius VIL twenty-three
years, live months and six days, whilst
-everal other Popes governed the Church
tor twenty-one years. It is generally agreed
that the whole number of Popes was two
hundred aud fifty-nine.

An Ingenious Match.
On Wednesday we copied from an
English paper a description of a very cu
rious watch, manufactured by Mr. Cole, a
watchmaker of London, for a member of
Parliament. The subjoined commnuica
tion from Mr. Maurice O'Connell of No.
333 Hanover street, in this city, relates to
another ingenious piece of mechanism, of
a somewhat similar character.
I repaired and cleaned for Hon. Frank
B. Fav. at the time Mayor of Chelsea, on j
the 2d Dec., 1861, a small gold watch, pur- !
chased by him of the manufacturer, at the
Exhibition in Paris, a few years previous- j
ly, and which, from the description of the
watch made by Mr. Cole, lately, seems j
to be the invention upon which Mr. ;
Cole’s subsequent manufacture was j
based. The dial was only 16 lines, or 1 53-
100 inch in diameter, and no thicker
than an ordinary size lady’s watch upon j
the face, it showed on the dial the second, j
minute, hour, day of the week and month, j
One hand showed the second, the two or
dinary hands on the centre pinion showed j
the h ur and minute, and a third hand, de- 1
pending in the same centre, traversed a
segment of a circle under the 12, divided !
and numbered into 31 equal parts, showing j
the day of the month. In a small circle -
inside the figure 8 were inscribed the names 1
of the twelve months at equal distance on
the circumference, and which were indi- !
eated by a small hand pointing like a see- j
ond hand, from a pivot in the centre. Be
tween the centre and day of the month are,
the dial showed an oval hole about a quar
ter of an inch at the longest diameter, un- j
demeath which revolved a very small cir
cle, upon which appeared the days of the
week in succession. The dial was white and
smooth, perfectly level, and had no other ,
objects to obstruct a view of it, but what I
have described. At 12 o'clock at mid
night, as the second hand pointed to 60 :
and the hour and minute hands to 12, the
day of the week circle, under the dial, .
sprang forward one-seventh of its periphe- j
ry: the day of the month hand advanced '
one subdivision of the arc : and 12 o'clock i
at midnight on the last day of any month, j
in the year, including February in leap :
year, the day ofthe month hand sprang;
back to the first mark on its arc, and
showed the first day of next month, as did
the month handspring forward, in its cir
cle, and point to the new month, where it
remained until the next monthly change, j
It did not wind by any slight motion, as j
does the watch of Mr. Cole’s manufacture, ;
which is rather a defect, as the small weight !
or little pendulum which insures that ac- j
tion, and which is an old appendage j
to Swiss watches, rather tends to keep
the main spring all the time wound up,
never suffering it to uncoil, and forcing a
continual strain to its utmost compression.
It is wound without key, by simply turning,
with the thumb and finger, a circular and
notched little plate attached to an arbor in
the stem or pendant of the case, aud if
there was any necessity for setting the
hands, the same agent was used by simply
pressing it in a little, before turning it.
Should the watch be suffered to run down i
for days or months, it would be ne
cessary, in order to bring it to the prop
er day upon which it was again started, to
make it record all the time during which
it lay still, or the calendar would no longer !
be correct, as the days of the week, month, I
and months in the year, a$ well as the j
year, common or Leap year, would be all
in confusion and non-agreeing. This was
done without delay, or injury to the watch,
by pressing a small point that protruded
through tne edge of the case and was
flush with the outside of it, each pressure
causing the week and month indicators to
change or advance a day until all indices
| agreed.
This watch was manufactcred by A.
Colay Feresche, Geneve; was marked No.
5818, of his manufacture ; and is, I pre
sume. still the property of Hon. Mr. Fay ;
and I write this communication in justice
to an ingenious mechanic whom I don’t
know except by name, but who belongs to
a class who have contributed to the depart
ment of mechanics known as watchmaking,
the best time-keepers in the world ; as the
Swiss are really the first who have secured
uniformity of performance by tho adoption
of properly porportioned balances, attach
ed at exactly equal distance from the pivots
of the balance arbor.— Boston Commercial.
Dr. Tnckcr.
While we were not altogether unpre
pared for what may seem to some of our
readers a somewhat abrupt termination of’
the editorial connection of our brother, Dr.
Tucker, with the Index and Baptist , we
confess to a degree of regret which we can
scarcely express, aud we are satisfied that
this regret is profoundly shared by all the
Alabama patrons of the paper. It is
really siul that one so gifted as a writer,
whose broad and comprehensive views,
whose warm, genial and catholic spirit,
and whose profound scholarly attainments,
all combined, should have filled a position
of the kind just long enough to show how
eminently he could adorn it, and then to
be withdrawn from it. And while we
give the Board of Trustees of the Uni
versity, over which he is called to preside
due credit for desiring to secure to that
institution the highest efficiency, and while
we btlieve that Dr. Tucker will fill all their
•xpectations, we must be excused forsaying
that the editorial supervision of a large,
influential denominational organ does offer,
at this particular conjuncture, a sphere of
usefulness vastly superior to any that
the very best talents and piety of
the country can supply. A man
who has the ears and the hearts
of an auditory, which, both present
and prospective, numbers tens of t housands,
cannot covet a more responsible, or a more
useful position. But of course our broth
er was in a better situation to judge of the
relative claims of the two fields of labor
than we were. YVe do not doubt that he
tried to decide the question of duty wisely
and in the fear of God. At parting with
him, it is a great pleasure to bear testimo
| ny to his uniform courtesy and generous
sympathy in all our intercourse, either
personal or by letter. Some of his
private letters to us, breathing as
they do, the most kindly amenities of Chris
tian love, the wisest counsels of matured
wisdom, and the strongest encouragements
of the most hopeful temperament, will be
preserved by us art sweet mementoes which
occasionally shed over the checkered scenes
of life the halo of a grateful and cheerful
I piety; for even those brilliant editorials
! which fall from his pen give but a partial
I view of that “inward wealth” of thought
and feeling which finds utterance only un
| dcr the sanctities of personal friendship,
i Our kindest wishes follow him to his new
: field of usefulness, and we shall ever re
joice in every success: that shall crown his
efforts. — Christian Tndex.
A Monster Enterprise.
Away up in the Sierra Nevada Moun
tains, so high that air and water lose their
respective gravity, and sticks of wood re
fuse to float on its surface, is a beautiful
sheet of water, called Lake Tahoe, by 1,-
500 feet the highest body on earth ever
navigated by a steamboat. Surrounded by
mighty peaks, whose summits are clothed
in mantles of eternal snow, while they look
down on valleys where eternal summer
reigns, this lovely lake seems beyond the
reach of civilization, and consequently
doomed to solitude forever.
But science has already seized upon it
as a fit subject for another of her triumphs,
and a daring engineer, one Col. A. 11. Von
Schmidt, has determined to turn its vast
volume of water to a practical use. He
has incorporated a company with a vast
capital, and will actually commence the
work at once of tunneling the mountain
to draw its pure waters to the California
side. The waters are to be turned into the
channel of a stream and carried to the
hills which skirt the valley of the Sacra
mento, thence through the canal among
the placer mines, down the level of the
Capitol City ; hence across the Talley to
wards the range, and ultimately to San
Francisca. This enterprise would, if car
ried out. supply a dozen interior towns with
deliciogs water of a purity unknown else
where, provide the miners with water to
carry on their work during the dry season,
irrigate thousands of acres of bow unpro
ductive land, making it to blossom as the
rose, and lastly, supply for all time to
come the seeming millions who will inhabit
San Francisco.
Neutrality.
YVashinoton. July 25. —The report of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs sub
mitted to the House by Genera! Banks,
favors the repeal of the neutrality laws and
the enactment of others in conformity with
the laws of nations and the practice of
other powers towards ourselves. It claims
payment from Great Britain for property
destroyed by privateers fitted out from
British ports, and says while we prefer
peaee to war. and find our advantage in
maintaining peace as against war. this
preference is no longer from necessity If
we are compelled to choose between the
sacrifice of our rights and an appeal to
the arbitration of war, there can be no
doubt about the decision. \\ e can no
longer stand bail for the peace of the
world ; we have stood good for other na
tions long enough.
It accuses England of countenancing the
rebellion, and speaks of the suppression of
the Fenian invasion of Canada as better
treatment than England had a right to
expect. It alludes to Irishmen as a race
which has suffered for centuries inexcusa
ble and ineffaceable wrongs, and Asserts
that the American people believe that
England owes reparation to Ireland.
ifiie intervention of our Government in
the Fenian campaign against Canada is
therefore proof of its fidelity to obligations
supposed to be due to other nations.
It ought to satisfy the world that we have
neither interest nor desire to disturb the
peace of the world.

Not Afraid To Go S
Not afraid to go l Not afraid to go!
He blessed little children and loved them so,
I could not be lost if my little hand
Reposed in his till I reached the strand.
Not afraid to go ! Not afraid to go !
Not afraid to go ! Not afraid to go !
Thro' the fevered air and the waters flow;
I do not forget that the children played
By his sacred feet in the Orient shade.
And He loves us still, I know.
Not afraid to go ! Not afraid to go !
Where the evergreen groves of Paradise
grow,
For He will be leading the children tiie re ;
Through the beautiful flowers and the sun
bright air.
I would not be afraid to go.
Not afraid to go ! O, man of might!
Can ye read the wisdom of babes aright ?
Go barter thine own for the words of trust.
Which shall seive thee through life and
down to the dust !
Not afraid to go ! Not afraid to go !
General Lee In Civil Life.
[Lexington (Vx..) Corr-spondenue of the Richmond Times.]
A visit to Lexington, pleasant on many
accounts, is peculiarly so by reason of the
fact that you hear on ail sides incidents,
anecdotes, aud personal recollections ofthe
two great men whose names are so dear to
the South. Every one loves to talk about
Lee, and every one has something new to
tell about Jackson. I know not when in
my life, I passed as pleasant an evening as
that at Col. Maasie’s, where, for hours,
the conversation related wholly to liis col
league and intimate friend, the leader of
the Stonewall brigade. Never before had
I heard or read so lively aud graphic a de
scription of the complete physical, mental,
and moral nature of the man. and I am
quite sure that if this oral sketch could be
put in print, just as it came from Col.
'lassie’s lips, it would be far more enter
taining than anything which has yet been
published. It "is suprising what a number
of characteristic incidents are remembered
by almost every person you meet, and this
fact alone is enough to prove that Jackson
must have been no ordinary man. Perhaps
at some future time I may give your readers
an outline of what has been told me about
“the major.”
AVith regard to General Lee, the follow
ing questions and answers will afford you
some idea of his way of life, and of the es
teem in which he is held by all classes:
“Do the college boys like him ?”
“Like him? They love him.”
“Well, does ho like his position as presi
dent, or does he merely put up with it in
view of something better?”
“Unfortunately he likes it. When the
place was first offered him, by letter, he
declined it; but after J udge Brockenbrough
had visited him and explained to him fully
the views and wishes of the faculty, he
accepted, and accepted in good faith, be
ing satisfied that he could discharge the
duties of the position and be of service to
his country.”
“Since he came he has been pleased, I
suppose?”
* ‘How could it be otherwise ? Everybody
is delighted with him, as he must know
whenever he looks in the face of student,
cadet, or citizen; besides, he is conscious
that he is doing qood. ’ ’ ,
“He lives comfortably ?”
“Quite so.' He has a comfortable house
well furnished ; and while his salary is not
large his every want is supplied, and often
times anticipated. ’ ’
“How do you mean !”
“Why, every stage that enters the vil
lage brings him a parcel or box, sent by
express, and these boxes and parcels con
tain almost every imaginable thing; from
books and pictures down to clothing and
provisions.”
“YY'here do those boxes come from ?”
“From every quarter of the globe, you
may say, but chiefly from Baltimore.”
“Are the doners known ?”
“Not always ; indeed I do not think
they generally are, but when known the
gift is promptly acknowledged. The other
day a little girl living some four miles in
the country sent the General a present of
apples, and the very next evening, in her
great joy and the amazement of her par
ents, General Lee rode up, alighted, en
tered the house,'and returning his thanks,
paid his little friend a visit of some length.”
“Does he mingle freely with the peo
ple?”
“He is not at all unsocial, is free, yet
cautious in conversation, but his visits are
made chiefly to the ladies. ’ ’
“I suppose he is greatly annoyed by
visitors ?’ ’
“No, you can hardly say that. Some
times his patience is tried by persons re
questing liiin to sit for his picture or bust,
and on one occasion he was heard to declare
that he had rather stand the tire o'”
a dozen of the best marksmen in the
of Northern Virginia than be vexed b, *
continued solicitations of artists, p
graphers, and the like. He was pa
larly worried a few days ago by an ole
from the South, who insisted on hat
lock of even ‘three threads’ of his
which she had promised faithfully to cany
to a young female friend in Alabama or
Georgia.
“After considering the difficulty, lie per
suaded the old lady to put up with a pho
tograph in place of the lock of hair. She
was by no means satisfied, but the General
was firm. He is also annoy ed by letters on
all sorts of subjects. One of these lately
received was from an old woman in Eng
land, who sent him a bill for $4, which a
man of his name. llobertE. Lee, had bor
rowed from her in 1862. As the old lady
was evidently in earnest, and the letter
genuine, the General promptly replied, and
proved an ulibi. ’ ’
‘ ‘ Is he writing a history of his cam
paigns?”
‘‘l think so. At all events, he is col
lecting materials for a history. Many think
he would be unwilling to publish a history
just at tliis time, when so many of the ac
tors arc living, and the passions engendered
1 by the war are still fresh and rankling; but.
the fact that Richardson, the New York
i publisher, paid him a visit not long since,
| is regarded by others as proof that the his
| tory is now in process of composition.
“Have no other publishers, besides Rich-
I ardson, approached him ?”
“Oh, yes, one certainly- has. A New
; York publisher, whose name is withheld,
; offered to endow Washington College with
the sum of SIO,OOO annually, if Gen. Lee
would contribute one article a week to his
paper. The proposition was made in form
to the rector by a responsible party; but
the rector, for reasons which you can ap
preciate, withheld it.”
“Gen. Lee, then, never heard of it?”
“Yes, he did, at least it is said he did.
He became apprised of it in some way and
declined the offer. ’ ’
‘ ‘Does he concern himself about politics?’ ’
“Not at all. On the contrary, he is ex
tremely careful that not even the suspicion
of polities should attach to the college. ’ ’
“His habits are industrious, I have
heard?”
“They are. As early as 6 o'clock in the
morning you may see him walking into
town to get his letters and papers ; the
remainder of the day is devoted to his
manifold duties, and in the evening he
rides into the country on his white horse,
not unfrequently stopping to converse with
the farmers and country gentlemen with
whom he chances to meet, about crops
and such matters.
“Is there any truth in the story that
during one of these rides lie was halted by
one of his own soldiers, a simple-minded,
enthusiastic countryman, who insisted on
giving him three cheers, then and there,
in the middle of the road ?’ ’
“I think not. We never heard of it.”
“The family- of the General is as much
beloved as the General himself, I have
been told ?”
“Yes; every member of the family is a
great favorite with our people.
“General Custis Lee is said to be am*n
of promise ?”
“He is. In some respects he is a more
mysterious man than his father. There is
something of Jackson in him. He is very
modest, but he is very firm in his convic
tions, and his opinions are remarkably
practical and sound. He is a practical
thinker.’’ . ,
“General Lee dose not intend to quit the
college?”
“We have no reason whatever to be
lieve that he wall abandon the college so
long as he is competent to discharge the
duties of President. It is said that he
once expressed a desire to become Gov
ernor of Virginia. But that was before the
war. Times have changed, and under the
new order of things. the gubernational
ehair of a Southern State can have few
charms for any gentleman, much less for
General Lee. Y\ e think, therefore, that
he will remain with us, and thi> is one
reason, indeed, the chief reason why you
find our people so cheerful and so hopeful
ofthe future of their town and county, and
in fact of this entire portion of the vaLey.
The Radicals on the Convention.—

Some weeks since two mules, belonging
to the United States, escaped from a
1 party of soldiers, who were on duty in
Fannin county, or at some other point in
i the mountainous regions above here. Some
of the men, who were left at this place to
guard commissary stores for the command,
j saw Mr. J oseph Terry, a respectable citi
i .1, i -i>' die mules, to put them up
a:;.! c-ve i hem notice. A few days after
•quest the mates went t: Mr. Terry's

them. At night when Mr. T. returned
i from work, he found the mules Were gone,
and naturally supposed the soldiers had
1 been there and taken them, as they had
1 stated to his wife they would do. Mr. T.
i thought no more of the matter until Mom
; day last, when, to his great surprise, he
| was arrested by order of Lt. Geo. M.
| Griffin, who was in command of a eom
j pany of soldiers on their way from the
I mountains to Atlanta.
This illustrious son of Mars was inform
| ed by a sergeant of his command, that the
: squad of soldiers who had been notified by
Mrs. Terry, had taken possession of the
mules. He replied ‘ l l don’t care a d—n ;’ ’
j and true to the instincts of his class and
! grade, who usually, “when dressed in a
little brief authority, perform such fantas
; tic tricks before high heaven as makes the
angels weep,” swore Terry should produce
the mules or pay for them, or he would
i carry him a prisoner to Atlanta.
As Terry could not produce the mules,
and would not pay, the valiant Lieutenant
S kept him under guard several hours and
then discharged him. — Cherokee Georgian.

One Candid Witness. —Mr. B. C.
Truman, special correspondent of the New
York Times, thus writes from Georgia :
“ The more I .see of Southern people,
and the more opportunities I have of wit
nessing their deportment, the more 1^ sym
pathize with them in their gloomy hour.
I c; ndidly believe that, nad we taken thorn
by the hand and treated them like brothers,
•as it seemed we would do immediately
after the surrender of their armies, a better
state of feelings would have presented
itself now than has existed before in thirty
years.
The Athens .Banner says copious showers
have fallen in that region and given new
hope to the farmers. The corn was gen
erally planted late, and for that reason was
not so much injured by the drought but
that the late rains will help it. With
good seasons until the latter part of
August, fair crops will be made.
Something About Diamonds.
The Journal of Mining says: All the |
diamonds found in Brazil were thrown
away, until a Portuguese merchant, who
was visiting the gold washing, unexpect- j
edly found a diamond of immense value
among the heaps of gravel thrown aside, j
Keeping his council, he continued his 1
search for a few weeks more, and found j
enough to bring him four millions of do!- '
lars when he got home. Fearing to return
he sent his brother back, who soon was
equally successful, but being suspected of
something wrong by the crown officers, he j
was arrested and put in prison, upon
which he confessed his mission, gave up
his booty, and wa§ taken to Portugal,
where he was liberated by the King. The
whole district was now ordered to be re- 1
washed for diamonds. It yielded from
14,000 to 20,000 ounces per annum,
at least four-fifths of which were
of inferior quality. From oO.OuO to GO,OOO
hands have been employed. _ Not many
years since some French chemists, in ana
lyzing the accompanying minerals, found
what are called black diamonds, now known
to be unerystalized carbon, but so nearly
pure that it is valuable as a polisher of
other stoues, and sells tor seventy-five
cents per carat. It was previously thought
to be nothing but iron ore or schorl. Tiu.t
discovery lias led to the washing of the
ground over a third time, which proves to
be very profitable, as it is said to be abun- •
dant. ’ Dr. Stevenson, speaking of the :
mineral resources of Georgia, says fine ame
thysts have been found in Hall county, For- i
syth and Columbia ; the topaz in Lumpkin ; j
the cornelian in Rabun; the beryl in “
Clarke, and the lazulite in Lincoln, : t
accompanied with splendid crystals of j
rutile, some weighing twelve ounces.— j
The zircon, in great purity, is found,
as an accompaniment of the diamond, all |
along the belt of itacolumite. The kyanite
is found in Elbert county, and the chalce
dony is associated with the cornelian in
Rabun county, as also the amianthine as
bestos of grea f strength of fiber and over
two feet Ion.:. The garnet is abundant,
but everywhere of a very poor quality. No j
emeralds have been found, nor sapphire, i
The opal abounds in the middle counties. [
The precious or fire opal, however, has only {
beeu found in South Carolina, where some j
valuable specimens were obtained by the I
late Dr. Andrews, of Charlotte, N. C. j
Judge Peck, of East Tennessee, found a j
small emerald in Hawkins county. The j
ribbon jasper is abundant, and pictorial i
marble of great beauty.

Valuation of Property In Wilkes County.
Through the kindness of Mr. Robert A.

j been favored with the following abstract
j of the taxable property of Wilkes Coun
ty for this year :

It may be interesting to compare this
statement with that of 1860, that being
the last year in which the value of proper
ty was not affected by war and depreciated
Confederate currency. Allowance ought
also to be made for the fact that the as
sessments of that year were upon the basis
of specie, while the assessments of this year
are made on the basis of greenbacks. We
are unable to estimate how much difference
j there should be on tliis account, and leave
it to be made according to the judgment
, of those who feei interested in the matter:
The following is the abstract for 1860.

If nearly seven millions of dollars were
lost in this county of about 700 voters, in

purchase of cereal, vegetable and flower
seeds.- The purchase and distribution is
confined to such seeds as are rare and un
common, or such as can be made more
profitable by frequent changes from one
part of our own country to another ; also
$14,000 for the propagation and distribu
tion of plants, cuttings and shrubs, which
are to be restricted to such as are adapted to
'general cultivation, and to promote the
general interests of horticulture and agri
culture throughout the United States.
Ex-Gov. Vance. ofN. C., in a recent ad
dress before the literary societies of the N.
C., University, spoke as follows :
“No monuments of victory are for us,
no national jubilee can we celebrate, no
songs of triumph can our maidens sing,
or garlands of glory weave : there is no
welcoming of returning conquerors, nor
ejecting of triumphal arches for us. to con
sole us for our great suffering. We are
all alone with our groat defeat and that
heavy sorrow whi' h never flitting, still is
sitting, still is sitting" iu our household,
and all that we have left for our comfort
is the sad yet tender light wlflch plays
around the memory of those who died to
make it otherwise.”
With all this. Gov. Vance exhorts steady
an 1 honest acquiescence in the result of
the war.

* * * * * * *
(From Rev. W. IX SclrfHed, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
Gentlemen: I have recently been laboring under the dis
tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of
the nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended
bv friends, and some of them tested, but without relief. Your
Hoofland’sGerman Bitters were recommended bv persons who
had tried them, and whose favorable mention of these Bitters
induced me to try them. 1 must confess that 1 had an aversion
to Patent Medicines from the ** thousand and one” quack
Bitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and
drugged liquor upon the community in a sly way. and the ten
dency of which, 1 fear, is to make many a continued drunkard.
Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation,
1 took it* witn happy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and grati
fying. I feci that. I have derived great and permanent benefit
ffrom the use of a few bott ies.
Very respectfully yours, W. I>. Sf.igfrikd,
No. C 54 Shackamaxon street.
F)*na the Rev. E. Dr. Kendall, Assistant EdltoifChrlstia
Chronicle, Philadelphia.)
I have derived decided benefits from the use of Hoofland’s
German Bitters, and fed it my privilege to recommend them as
a most valual 1« tonic to all wlio are suffering from a genera!
debility, or from diseases arising from derangements of the
liver. Yours truly, * E. I). Fkndall.
(From Rev. D. Merrigc, Pastor of the Passyunk Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
From the many respectable recommendations given to Dr.
Hoofland’s German Bitters. 1 was induced to give them atrial.
After using several bottle# 1 found them to be a good remedy
for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the stomach.
D. Mehbigx.
(From Rev. William Smith, formerly Pastor of theViuccn
town and Milville (N. J.) Baptist Churches.)
Having used in my family a number of bottles of your Hoof
land’s German Bitters, 1 have to say that I regard them as an
excellent medicine, specially adapted to remove the diseases*
they are recommended for. They strengthen and invgorate
the system when debilitated, ami are useful in disorders of the
liver, loss of appetite, etc. 1 have also recommended them to
several of my friends, wlio have tried them, and found them
greatly beneficial in the restoration of health.
Yours truly, Wm. Smith.

(From the Rev. Joseph 11. Kennard, Pastor of the Tenth Bap
tist Church.)
1 have been frequently requested to connect my name with
commendations o? different kinds of medicines, out regarding
the practice as out of my appropriate sphere, I have in all cases
declined; but with a clear proof in various instances, and par
ticularly in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. llooflaud’s
German Bitters, 1 depart for once from my usual , course, to ex
press my full conviction that, for general debility of the system
and especially for liver complaint, it is a safe and valuable pre
paration. In some cases it may fail, but usually, I doubt not
it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above
causes.
Y’ours, very respectfully, J. H. Kknnart>,
