Conflict Between the Civil and Military
Authorities.
•j .. 'j ; Fla. Sentmd, of the |
27th u [t. contains a lengthy correspondence
between the Mayor of that city and Major
General Foster, upon the question of mili
tary and civil jurisdiction in certain cases—
t}lo former asserting the supremacy of
the civil law under the late proclamation
of the President; and the latter taking the I
contrary position, upon the assumption
that martial law is still supreme in that
State. The following is a statement of the
facts a * developed in the correspondence : ■
It appear:* that several arrests were late
ly made by the police of lallahassee ; and
fines imposed upon officers and enlisted
men of the I nited States army, for alleged
offences. General Foster protested against
the proceeding, and requested the Mayor
to instruct the police to take the names of
any offending offi ror soldier and forward
the same to his headquarters, when the
matter would be investigated, and if guilty
the offenders would he punished. This
the Mayor declined to do, upon the ground
that martial law had been abrogated by
the proclamation of the President, and ail
offences against the laws of the State fell
properly under the judicial notice of the
State tribunals.
General Foster in his rejoinder to the
emphatic refusal of the Mayor to comply
with his request, says :
“I mu compelled to call your attention
to the fuel that military law is still supreme
in tiiis* Stale, and 1 hereby forbid you to
arrest liereafl r, any officer, enlisted man,
or employee in any of the departments of
(he United .States army, while in the dis
charge of his olii"ial duties; but request
taut you will send the name of any of
them, against whom complaint is made,
lor my investigation and award of punish
jrujnt. 1 '
'Plie Mayor replies again, and tells the
General that he cannot revive martial law
without denying the authority of the Presi
dent to proclaim the restoration of peace
and civil law, and that inasmuch as Gen.
Foster iiad seriously impeded the course
ol p iblie Justice, he (the Mayor) would
take the earliest opport unity of arraigning
him before the civil tribunals of the .State.
Here the matter rests.
The assertion by Gen. Foster that mar
tial law still prevails in Florida, is in di
rect eon Diet with the interpretation which
Gen. Sheridan gives to the President’s
proclamation of the goth of August. The
New Orleans Picayune. publishes the fol
lowing:
On Monday last an affidavit was made
before Itecordir Gustinel, by police officers
Thos. Hogan and N. McGuire, charging
Henry Walsh and Gen. Kcma, both colored
soldiers of the Dili United States cavalry,
with tiring iliree shots on the complainants
on the day before, for the purpose of com
mitting murder. The shooting took place
on Trento street, between Conti and Bien
ville, while the above named officers were
on duty, and the accused have since been
confined in tlie Parish prison.
A question hero arise, owing to the fact
tint the accused were in the military ser
vice, whether the civil courts would he al
lowed to exercise jurisdiction in I lie matter,
the usages thus far having varied. In or
der to ascertain definitely the wishes of our
military authorities, a letter was addressed
to the commander of the department by
Recorder Gastinel, in which the above
facts were recited, and inquiry made as to
wlmt should ho done with the prisoners.
This letter has sinco been returned to
the Beeordor with the following indorse
ment: .
FTt;,\ nif ns Dk’t of the * l ur,p, 1
New Orleans, La.,’Sept. 25, 1866. j

Gastinel, Recorder of the Second District
Court, who will please have these men
brought to trial and punished if found
guilty.

We presume this settles the matter, and
that this precedent will henceforth be fol
lowed.
Jefferson Davis.
The Hon. G. M. llillyer, editor of the
Natchez Courier, visited Jefferson Davis
on September 7, and has published an ac
count of the interview. Wo quote what
lie says of the prisoner’s physical condi
tiou :
It would be difficult for an old friend of
Mr. Davis to recognize him* were he not j
presented to him as the great State Prison- I
er! Knriciutcd to the extreme ; almost a j
walking skeleton ; little left but a great and 1
stately torn: ; a grey beard covering that
peculiar styl* of features and of mouth, !
w hich in other days has given life and j
thought to a nation : an eye undimmed, j
and full of the lire of intellect; he yet |
might pass upon our street unknown to
former friends. Ilis physical condition is j
such that in walking he is obliged to use a
cane, and the arm of a friend or attendant. j
The writer does not know what a skeleton |
weighs. Add ten pounds to any medical
man’s report on the subject and Mr. :
Davis's weight can be ascertained. Ills
lower limbs are as a man's wrists, and the
Prisoner’s steps totter as he walks! But, j
yet he is reliant on his own integrity and
on the (rod whose favor and mercy, with!
beautiful simplicity, lie asks at more hours j
than the imprisoned Daniel did 1
Mr. Davis, confined as he is. will not
live long, liuiaeiated in the extreme, with- !
out appetite and without hope, he is grad
ually going down to the long home where a
million of manly and womanly tears will
follow him. The first chill, the tirst at
tack of any sharp disease, will carry him
away to the great Judge who ruletli over
all. Tempered may be the wind that blows
over Fortress Monroe ! May her breath
ings be sweet and her wings soft!
Mr. Davis is yet denied the use of pen,
ink or paper, lie violates the parole that
allows him a walk inside the Fortress iflie
even gives his autograph. During the
day he lias little, except as prisoner, to
complaint of. During the night lie has
grated doors, guards and an officer, to
watch every time he turns over in bed, or
changes the position of his pillow !
In conversation, Mr. Davis's intellect i s
as brilliant as ever. Unable to w rite, and
until recently to talk to others, it seems
that the rich stores of his gifted mind arc
only now allowed full expression. He is
hopeless for himself. Ho sees not. nor
can any friend see lor him, why he is kept
in the anomalous condition of a State
prisoner. He is the first, and for God’s
sake may lie be the last, the country ever
knew? Army Headquarters know him
not; he cannot l>e reached by any order
General Graut can give. The civil tribu
nals know him not ; he cannot be reached
by any process of habeas corpus ! And
yet law and civil authorities are said to
pervade the land ! What a mockery!
In all probability Mr. Davis will never
see our people again, lie is an individual
victim, whose life by confinement will be
sacrificed to solve a great political embar
rassment. Like the man who drew the
elephant in a lottery, the Government
knows not what to do with him—should
not Death, less remorseless than power,
consign him tomb which will be hal
lowed for ages as that ol' a martyr sacrificed
for a people.
Tho Nett York Ladies and the Ballet.
Tho sensation at NiMo's Garden, Now
York, just now, is the gorgeous spectacular
drama, "The Black Crook, in which is
introduced a Parisian ballet troupe of fifty
d&nseus, headed by Marie Boufanti. Such
crowds as have thronged the Garden eve
ry night sine its production, it is said,
were never witnessed before. The New
York t£>m sj..>r.Jent of the Mobile Adver
tiser in his letter of the 17th. writes :
Asa play, it is the silliest trash 1 ever
listened Is.. Any ordinary school-boy
could w rite a better dialogue, and the plot
is the same that we have seen in dozens of
devil dramas before. But the scenery and
transformations are too gorgeous to be des
cribed. Nothing approaching them was
ever witnessed ,in New York. And the
ballet ! Ah ! that is the attraction. It is
enough to turn the head of an Octogena
rian. It is beautiful, ravishing, glorious—
and indecent—particularly tho latter. I
have no time lor details, but must mention
one donee— the _ dance—the “Demon
Dance. This might be called a “model
artiste” exhibition. Pour beautiful aud
magnifieieutly formed girls (from Paris,
come on the stage-i« tights, and dance for
ten or fifteen minutes. A part of then
bodies is incased in red silk jiggers of
some sort, hut that only makes them at
tractive. I was astonished to see hundreds
of fashionable and very respectable looking
ladies watching thi- exhibition with the
deepest interest. There was a tune when
American ladies would leave the theatre at
once if such a scene was presented to them.
But our ladies visit Paris oftener than of
yore, aud begin to like Paris customs very
well indeed. A woman who would consid
er herself grossly insulted if asked bow she
liked Adah Minkin in Mazeppa. will take
infinite delight in looking at the ‘‘Demon
Dance.” And vet lam not sure that the 1
“Menken'’ exhibition is really more inde- j
cent than the one 1 saw at Nibin's on Sat
urday night. The Meukin was not fash
ionable . the Tarioians are. and perhaps :
that explains why our Lelies Dike their
opera glasses to Nibio's even- night.
Temporal Power es the Pope.
According to the terms of what is known
as the September Convention, the French
protectorate of the Pope is to be with
drawn about the middle of December, and
the question is being freely agitated in Eu
rope what the Pope will do. An English
correspondent, writing on this subject,
says;
If the Pope does nothing, nobody doubts
that the termination of the French pro
tectorate will be the signal for a revol
tion; unless indeed, the Italian govern
ment should interfere for the maintenance
of order—which of itself, however, would
he revolution, only under another name.
There is no power now remaining in Eu
rope thft can take the place where France
has occupied since 1849. When the
French go, Pius IX. must either come to
terms with his so-called subjects (which is
notoriously impossible,) or he must accept
the protection of Victor Emmanuel's gov
ernment, or he must leave Home and set
uji his spiritual throne elsewhere. Practi
cally, his choice lies between the last two
alternatives. 'I he Pope may remain at
Home, shorn of Lis temporal power, hut
protected by a friendly government in the
free and unfettered exercise of his spiritu
al prerogatives as Head of the Church ; or
he may go into exile, carrying his spiritual
prerogatives with him, and become the
guest of any Catholic or other government
that may be willing to receive him.
A Home correspondent of the Pall Mai]
( i! r..*J l . says:
According to the present temper of the
Vatican, the departure of the Holy Father
is more probable than his continuance at
Home, in the event of the French with
drawing in December. It is persistently
said that he will go either to Malta or Eng
land. There is a talk of the approaching
i arrival of Mr. Gladstone, and it is thought
that this statesman’s visit to Home is not
without relation to the Pope’s departure.
The British Government is credited with
encouraging the Holy Father in his re
sistarioe to the counsels of France, and with
promising him assistance —assertions which
I need not say are wholly devoid of founda
tion. Indeed, I have reason to believe
that Mr. Odo Russel! has distinctly told
Cardinal Autonelli that England will not
meddle in the lloman question. While
preparing for ‘he eventuality of flight the
Pope is also contemplating the possibility
of his being detained a captive in Home,
and, as a precaution lias drawn up a secret
hull, delegating his full powers to a
cardinal, whom certain reasons prevent my
naming at present. Directly the Holy
Father is taken captive, or deprived ofjhis
“apostolic” liberty, the said cardinal will
repair to A'ienna or London, and then pub
lish the bull which is now in his possession.
In this document Pius IX". names him us
i his alter ego ad tempus , Vicar of the Uni
i versal Church—that is, Pope ad interim,
I All Catholic Bishops, all Priests, and all
' the faithful are, during the captivity of
l the sovereign Pontiff, to address them
selves to this organ of the Pope reduce*
to silence, and who will be the interpreter
|of Peter in bonds. Petrus The
revolutionists would thus hold the Pope in
: their hands rather as an old man weak
I and dumb, than as a hostage; the Papacy
: would save its independence, and be pro
i visionally represented by the Cardinal
l Vicar Apostolic, oracle of the Church and
the Catholic world, until the revocation of
his power. Such is the provision made
against the determination of the Roman
j Secret Committee to oppose the departure
! of the Pope by every means in its power.
Meantime, we learn that Victor Emanuel

Protestants In Prussia.
In 1864 Prussia contained (by Govern
ment estimate) nearly twelve million Pro-
I tesiants and above seven million Catholics,
the balance of her total population (19,
600,000) being Jewish, or unaccounted for.
The Catholics were chiefly congregated in
the Rhine province, where they form a
1 large majority; in Poson (formerly Polish);
and in Silesia, where they equal the Pro
I testants. Elsewhere they are few. The
! late acquisition of territory. Hanover,
Electoral Hesse, Hesse-Darmstadt, Nas
sau, the State of Frankfort, Brunswick
‘ and Sehleswick-Holstein, will raise the
total number of inhabitants to sixteen mil
lion. Protestants and something less than
eight million of Chatholics. The Protes
tants, therefore, who are now to the Catho
lics in Prussia as live to three, will then, in
the extended dominions, be in the propor
tion of more than two to one. A London
; paper says:
“It will be seen that Prussia becomes in
a much larger proportion than therefore
‘Protestant through these conquests. But
those who would found on this circumstance
any views of altered policy on her part
would probably be much mistaken. Neither
the temper of the Government nar that of
the people is in any degree favorable to
sectarianism. The Prussian Government
has dealt equitably and liberally with the
Catholic minority in its dominions; nay,
ever sine# its isl-advised steps agamst the
Archbishop of Cologne in IS3B. even with
guarded forbearance. And although the
old division between Catholic and Protes
tant still occasions its strifes and heart
burnings among the German people as else
where, it is singular how completely sub
ordinate these have hitherto been to the
excitements occasioned by mere political
causes. Quarrels about press freedom and
Government interference with public dis
cussion; quarrels about Austrian or Prus
sian ’hegemony;’ quarrelsabout nationali
ties. such as that with Denmark —all these
appear hitherto, during their prevalence,
to have had the effect of effacing complete
ly tor the time religious differences, and
arraying the adherents of different confes
sions side by side with each other, quite
oblivious of the Pope and Luther.”

Panic in a Theatre. —During a recent
afternoon performance at MeY ieker s
Theatre. Chicago, the gauze used over the
flies on the stage, for the purpose of pro
ducing different light effects, caught fire,
went up iua puff of flame, and some of the
>uiokint T portions came down on the stage, j
Some o*' the audience saw them fall, and
shouted tire. Immediately the people were
seized with such a panic as can only be oc
casioned by an alarm of fire in a crowded
building. Men and women rose from their
seats aud rushed to the door. The passages
were crowded with a mass of human be
ings. fiercely jostling each other, some
shrieking, and all hastening to eseape from
the building. The manager appeared ou
the stage and endeavored to reassure them,
tellifig them the theatre was not on fire.

The Cholera -IS; >0 and
The Nashville Dispatch contains the fol
lowing interesting article on this mysteri
ous disease:
For years to come, one of the most
popular problems will be the cholera:
What is it? whence comes it? how avoid
it? how remedy it? are questions with
winch all will more or less concern them
selves. Though the whole subject belongs
to the medical prof.scion, and by that
profession all these and similar questions
must be solved, yet the great epidemic
cannot be regulated by this profession as
may be done with any obscure disease
which annually carries off a few score.
Cholera has been, and we fear for some
time to come, will continue to be an every
day theme, figuring in the columns of tele
graphic dispatches, and of editorial discus
sions.
This is. properly speaking, the third
cholera epidemic known in Europe and
America. Each visit lasts two or more
years, and hence the common error of
greatly increasing ti,e number ofvisitations.
The cholera of 1832 reached America in
1533, and continued in 1834, and in some
places later. The cholera of ls4s reached
America in 1849, and continued traveling
about until 1854. The cholera of 1865 has
reached our continent in 1866, and will no
, doubt prevail in many localities during one,
two, or three years to come.
Bearing these facts in mind, we have !
been much interested in observing its
ravages during the late pestilence, and in
gathering what information we could from
our medical friends. Upon the whole we
have come across, nothing which has struck
us with so much force as the views enter
tained by Dr. Bowling, the distinguished
professor ofjmedicine in our University,
which we find published by him in the
Nashville Journal of Medicine and Sur
gery in 1850, and subsequently re-affirmed
iu j*s4. We may remark that Dr. Bowl
ing had a very extensive experience with
this epidemic in Kentucky in 1853 and
subseqdent years.
So much has been written upon this sub
ject to so little purpose, that few readers
would undertake a lengthy article upon it.
This city lias been awfully scourged with
this plague. From the 9th of June until
the Ist of August , 1850. it is probable 500
persons perished in this city and the
suburbs from cholera. During the pro
gress of the epidemic a large majority of
our first physicians were agreed as to the
following facts:
1. That tho disease was worse in those
districts where tho population used spring
or well water.
2. That it was most fatal among those
who were not acclimated.
3. That those who “ate and drank, as
they always had,” during the epidemic,
when assailed, almost invariably died.
4 The abstemious and prudent, when
: assailed, almost invariably recovered,
i 5. Those who relied on patent, and other
: cholera nostrums, died,
6, Those who kept such prescriptions by
them, as experience here had demonstra
ted uio-t effective, and took them instantly
upon seizure, recovered.
7. Small doses of mercury and large
doses of opium combined, proved the
surest method of arresting the disease.
Four grains of opium to five of calomel,
in powder, given instantly upon the appear
ance of liquid and copious evacuations, and j
repeated after every such evacuation, es- J
factually put a stop to the progress of the ;
disease in those persons whose stomachs
had not been gorged with fruits or crude
vegetables. With tlie latter, the prescrip
tion had but little or no effect. Where the
powder could not be easily retained on ac
count of extreme gastric irritability, a pill
l composed of three grainsof opium and four
of pil. hyd., and repeated after every dis
charge, was successful, except among the
fruit and vegetable caters. Ice eaten ad
libitum , and no drinks, succeeded best in
allaying the agonizing thirst and vomiting.
A blister early applied over the region of
the stomach, was a powerful means of
ameliorating gastric distress. The remedies
enumerated were alone those that possessed
the unbounded confidence of our ablest
arid experienced physicians. All manner
of remedies were tried, and every plan,
rational, irrational and empirical, which it
.were a wanton waste of time to enumerate.
From the fatality of the disease here, it
might be argued that the treatment could
not have been very successful. Nothing
could be further from the truth than such
a conclusion. Tho disease was met and
combated fearlessly by as able a faeultj', in
proportion to its extent, as exists in Ameri
ca. There could not have been less than
five thousand cases, in a population of
about twenty thousand, of which five hun
dred proved fatal. Among these five
hundred who perished by cholera, we have
neither seen nor had reported to us the
j ease of any of them where tho subject had
i demeaned himself before seizure in accor
dance with the prescribed rules of the phy
i sician. A large majority of them were
poor, and without those comforts which
| experience has demonstrated necessary to
j bar out the ferocious invader. Many of
them were foreigners, engaged here on tlie
public works, and who could not be made
to comprehend that they were dangerously
ill until in the jaws of death. Again, they
had, many of them, their M ater and Can
j cer Doctors. We are confident we hazard
nothing in the assertion that a large ma
; jority of those who died were not seen by
a physician before being Collapsed. The
treatment we have indicated was prompt
and decided in its beneficial action, rescu
ing the patient from imminent peril, and
placing him on sure ground in a tew hours.
In 1850 and in 1866 how uniformly sad
the tale! A crowded, destitute, neglected
population fearfully decimated; the intem
perate, the imprudent severely punished ;
the well-to-do, the prudent, the carefully
attended escapiug or recovering.
it is proper to remark that in 1854, Dr.
Bowling expressed his dissent from the
opinion that well or spring water promoted
the disease.
Slander! Slander!
“Gen. Wright, of Georgia, says he was
on the Committee that drafted the resolu
tions in <lio Johnson Philadelphia Conven
tion in favor of duly rewarding the Union
Soldiers, and that he took care to have thorn
so worded as not to commit tho Govern
ment; for, if the South ever gets into pow
er again, all pensions to Union Soldiers
shall be cut off unless the Confederate Sol
diers are put on the same footing.”
We clip the above from the editorial
columns of the Standard. v\ r e have often
thought that paper, under the baneful in
fluence of its seuior editor, was, with reck
less indifference to both truth and results,
giving crZtVorinZsanction to the mischievous
falsehoods of the Radical presses and ora
tors in their bitter warfare against the
honor and interests of the South.
It requires no denial of the above from
the gallant gentleman to whom it was at
tributed, to prove to us that it was totally
false. An acquaintance with Gen. Wright
in the trying ordeal of the past few years
enables us to endorse him as the very type
: of honor and truthfulness. His conduct
as a gentleman and officer was such as
would convince any one that*dee. ption was
■ not an element in his nature. His course,
unlike his slanderer, lias been such as not
to deceive Northern citizeus or soldiers, du
ring the war. or since its termination.
Gen. Wlight, through the columns of
the Augusta Chronicle a- Sadia!, of
which he is an editor, thus refers to this
matter:
“The above statement we find in the
Troy Daily Times of the 22nd. It is per
haps useless to deny a statement so absurd,
for a denial here is unnecessary, as in,lt * u
it is anywhere that the character of the
Troy Tones is known. We have no idea
that one who is base enough to perpetrate
such a slander will have tlie manliness to
publish a denial of its truth, aud. ifhe did,
would be sure to invent some other canard
equally mischievous. General Wright
never wrote a line that could be tortured
into any such sentiment. He docs not ex
pect to cut off the Union soldiers from their
pensions, nor has he any hope that Con
federate soldiers will ever be allowed any
place in the pension list.”
It thus appears that (lie Standard has
given editorial sanction to the base slander
of the Troy Time-. We can well under
stand why these Radical papers publish
such a wilful falsehood upon our leading
citizens, for such is the capital by which
they are attempting, and we fear with too
much success, to break down the Adminis
tration *>l President Johnson and the ef
forts of the Conservatives to restore the
Union upon honorable and constitutional
grounds, but we cannot appreciate what
truthful and honest motive a North Caroli
nian. who has held high civil position and
has yet higher aspirations, nay even c-on
seientiouslv desires to be respected among
bis fellow-men, can have to give publicity
to the statements cf these false witnesses
against our own people. The expectations
which prompt such conduct must be truly
fascinating, but alas what have _we to say
of the heart which conceives it. — IFi7-

Mexican. Indebtedness to France.
—A Paris correspondent of the London
Herald, writing September 21st, say- :
Great sensation has been caused in Paris
this day by the announcement officially
made by the Mexican Financial Comm/-
siou. The stock and bond-holders are in
formed that there is no cash iu hand to
pay the interest and the coupons due on
the Ist of October, and that, therefore, its
payment is deferred. To console the vic
tims. they are reminded that a sum has
been lodged at the Caisse des Consigna
tions, which has been invested in French
three per cents, to repay the capital (by
means of the capitalization of interests iii
forty-eight years. Thus, those who >ub
scribed to the various loans issued by Mexi
co within the last two years, though they
may get no interest, will be reimbursed at
par in 1914 ! .
The consequence is that the bonds is
sued at 340f. i were quoted to-day at ] 30f.,
being a fallof4of., aud the stock folk 7}
percent. The amount due on October 1,
i; 15,0'J0,00rtf. — £690,000 —and as the
holders are mostly poor persons, you may
imagine the feelings this announcement
lias produced. It was to recover about
$600,000 that the French expedition was
sent out. Mexico now owes to France
£12,000,000, and the government are
chiefly anxious to withdraw their troops.
The general feeling is that the Govern

Same Things Love Me.
All within and all without me
Fec-l a melancholy thrill;
And the darkness hangs about me,
Oil, how still!
To my feet tlie river glideth,
Through the shadow—sullen, dark ;
On the stream the white moon risetli,
Like a bark—
And the linden leans above me.
Tilt I think some tilings there be,
In this dreary world, that love me,
Even me!
Gentle flower.-, are springing near me,
.'shedding sweetest breath around;
Countless voices rise to cheer me,
From the ground;
And the lone bird comes, I hear it
In the tall and windy pine,
Pour the sadness of its spirit
Into mine;
There it swings and wings above,
’Till I think some things there be,
In this dreary world, that love me,
Eveil me!
Now the moon lias floated to me,
On tiie stream I see it sway.
Swinging, boatlike, as “would woo me
Far away;
Ar.d the stars bend from the azure,
I could reach you where I lie,
And then whisper of the pleasure •
In the sky;
There they hang and smile above me,
’Till I think some tilings there be,
In the very heavens, that love me,
Even me!
Now when comes the tide of even,
Like a solemn river, slow,
Gentle eyes, akin to heaven,
On me glow—
Loving eyes that tell their story,
Speaking to my heart of hearts;
But I sigh, “a thing of glory
Soon departs!”
Yet when Mary fades above me,
i must think that there will be
One more thing in Heaven to love mo,
Even mo!
Strange Freak of a Lnnatic-A Terrible
Ride on a Locomotive.
! At 4 o'clock this morning a yard-master
! in the employ of the Illinois Central rail
| road at this place saw a man on an engine
i that had steam up standing on the track
| ready to go out. The yard-master accost
| ed him and told him to get off tlie engine,
j lhe man replied by knocking down the
; yard-master, running the engine out on
■ the main track, and starting northward at
a terrific rate of speed. A brakeinan and
| fireman were lying asleep on the engine
when it started. They awoke to find them-
I selves flying away with all the speed of the
| wind, and a stranger at the engine. On
| examination they found him to be a‘
! drunken stone mason of this place, named
i Fitzpatrick, who has been raving with dcli-
I rium tremens recently. The two men were
|at first appalled with terror. They ap
pealed to the madman to stop, but he
heeded them not, and drove the engine
I faster and faster. He sounded the whistle
I at Central City, tlie first station north, hut
did not for a moment decrease the frightful
velocity of the engine. At the junction,
j just above Central City, the whistle shriek
led again, and the engine sped like a can
non ball toward Sandoval. The situation
was now becoming fearfully perilous, when
the brakemau seized a piece of" coal and
burled it at the desperate maniac. He
then left the engine and turned upon tho
brakeman and fireman. One of them
struck him with a sledge, hammer, and af
ter a struggle.he was secured. The engine
was speedily reversed and brought back to
this city. —Chicago Times.
The Tobacco Business.
| In the City of Hamburg, Germany, the
| manufacturing of tobacco gives employ
| merit to more than 10,000 persons, who
| turn out 150,000,000 cigars a year, valued
at $2,000,000. From Havana and Manilla
Hamburg imports 18,000,000 cigars a
year, making an aggregate, including its
own production, of 168,000,000 of cigars,
153,000,000 of which are exported, leaving
18,000,000 for home consumption—-allow
ing 40.000 cigars a day to an adult male
population 0f45,000. In England, with a
! population of 21,000.000 in 1821, the con
{ sumption of tobacco was 15,598,152 lbs.,
j an average of _ 12 ounces per head for the
I entire population ; in 1831, with a popu
| lation of 24,410,439, the consumption
| reached 19,683,841 lbs., or 13 ounces per
j head; in 1841, population 27,019,672, oon-
I sumption, 22,309,360 lbs., or 134 ounces
j per head ; and in 1851, populatian 27,450,-
| 692, the consumption was 28,062,841 lbs.,
|or 1 J ounces of tobacco per head, showing
a steady increase. In France the con
sumption of tobacco is 18J ounces per
I bead, nearly half of which is snuffed; in
Denmark, in 1848, it was 70 ounces per
i head; and in Belgium it averages about
734 ounces per head. A popular writer
sets down the consumption of tobacco by
the whole human family, annually, at
2,000,000 tons, or 4,480,000,000 lbs., or
j 70 ounces per head; and he adds, that
“the annual tobacco crop of the world
! weighs as much as the wheat consumed by
| >10,000,000 of Englishmen, with a money
value equal to all the wheat consumed in
Great Britain.
Next to the United States the principal
tobacco-producing countries are some cf
i the West India Islands, the States of Cen-
I tral and South America, Cuba, Hayti,
I Brazil, Peru, etc. ; in the East Indies,
| Manilla, Java, China, etc., Asia Minor,
Egypt, Turkey, Greooo, Hungary, the
Southern parts of Russia, Holland, Bel-
I gium, tho States of Germany, many of the
: departments of France, Algeria, Corsica
j and Upper Sevoy, are ail noted for the
I culture of tobacco. The production is esti
mated as follows; Asia, 399,900,000
I pounds; Europe, 281,844,500 pounds;
! America, 248,280,500; Africa, 24,300,000;
Australia, 714,000, making in ail 995,039,-
000 pounds.
Oil in Indiana. —At Terre Haute, In
j diaua, October 2, oil was struck at a depth
| of 1,300 feet, in the artesian well being
bored there by Mr. Chnaeey Rose; It
flows at the rate of about forty or fifty bar
i rels per day, with tubing extending only
| ten or twenty feet below the surface. It
is estimated that the well would produce
! one hundred barrels per day if properly
tubed. The oil is of good quality. It has
: been visited by hundreds. This is consid-
I ered the more important as it is the only
oil yet found in that part of the country in
| paying quantities.
