Astonishing < liar yes Against the Ac'C Me Ladies — Brers- in ulcers Supplying Their Customers M ith Brandij Wine K< j>t in !>ry Good* Store* fur I 'asiuona hie female*. 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 lithilitie.s, resorting to such laxnes- upon any whim of fancy ? There is no knowing where such bad faith may end ; and thesi pronosals, so flippantly and unblushing!.' made, can have no other effect than to seriously impair the national credit.

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.

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. The committee report a resolution to carry into effect their ideas. The subject of arming the British troops with breech-loaders had been debated in the House of Lords, and it was stated that the movement to that end was in progress. ] [A lovelv little girl, (and i a Norfolk editor,) was recent. a: nod, overheard, on the night preceu.nw t*** catastrophe, talking to some of h : mates, and saying: “If m- Father should sendforme to-n ; not be afraid to go to Him.”] Not Afraid To Go S Not afraid to go l Not afraid to go!

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.

A lady reached the city on the Macon train, in a dying condition. She was only able to request that a telegram be sent to Mr. Denmead, at Marietta. She was taken to the Planters’ Hotel, where every possible attention was paid her by Mr. O Hailoran, the kind-hearted host, and the ladies ofthe establishment. She lived only twenty minutes. Her trunks—three in number — were marked Miss E. P. Taylor. Passen gers on the train state that she was quite ill when brought to the depot, and the heat and fatigue ofthe trip overcame her feeble strength. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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. 960 Hutchinson street, Philadelphia. TV (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>, Eight ,below Coates street.
