Meeting of Commissioners from the
Charlotte k South Carolina and Co
i.i MitiA Jc Augusta Kaii.koado. —Some
time since a Board of Commissioners, con-
of three Directors and three Stock
holder-; from each of the two Hoads, was
api ;rit Iby the Charlotte & South Caro
iina and Cfiutnbia & Augusta Railroad i
for tb purpose of drawing up an agree
ment, by mans of which a consolidation
of the two corporations might he effected.
This Board held a meeting in the city
Thursday morning but nothing was agreed
Upon. A proposition was submitted, we
•:aru, from one of the gentlemen present,
>y the Commissioners of the Charlotte
Road, which the representatives of the
' loluuibia k Augusta Road would not ac
cept. Another proposition was then made 1
I iy the latter corporation, which the fortu
• r rejected. Here the negotiations came
to a !.•■ »-»>, as both parties seemed equally
and i-tiTHiined in the matter. As the present
Board of C nnmissionors failed to agree
a on any terms anew one will have to bo
appointed, whose action will probably he

lor a consolidation arranged. After the
I' 'in- have been agreed upon by the Corn

The Railroad War—Peace De
vlarkd. —After several years of an unin
terrupted and bitter warfare, a treaty of \
peace was concluded in this city on Friday i
morning between the South Carolina and ;
the Columbia & Augusta Railroad Com
panies. The treaty, we believe, was found
entirely satisfactory by the President, Di
lectors and legal advisers of both the cor
porations, and was duly approved. The-j
terms of this treaty are, wo learn, sub
stantially as follows: Tho Columbia i
Augusta Railroad agree to pay to tho
South Carolina Railroad tho sum of seven
ty-live thousand dollars in the bonds of tho
former corporation to bo taken by the lat
ter at par value; ami in consideration for
this amount the South Carolina Railroad
agree to allow tho Columbia & Augusta
Road to intersect the track of tho former
at the "turn-table,” oue mile cn the other
side of tho Savannah river, and the use of
the tradk across the bridge over the Savan
nah ami along Wash’wgton street, to the
Union Depot in this city until the sixth of
January, 1870, by which time tho bridge
of the Columbia Hoad will, it is thought,
be finished the time and manner in which
the track is to be thus used, to bo deter
mined, in ease of •» disagreement between
the other partiist by the President of the
Georgia Railroad.
The City Council of August* agrees to
. ruut to these two llailroad Companies
the free use of the Washington street
track, in perpetuity. The track to he used
by them unequal tm.s, and it, together
with the street, to he arranged and kept
in thorough repair at the expense of the
two roads , and ail othof streets which
they may have to use in connecting their
tracks with a common depot to be kept in
the same manner , under the direction of
iIk 1 Streets and Crains Committee. It
any other road shall hereafter desire to
use these streets connecting these roads
with the common depdt, for the purpose of
entering the city, it shall be allowed to do
so upon jueh terms as the Mayor of Au
gusta and the Superintendents of the
Georgia and the Macon & Augusta Rail
road. constituting a Board of Referees,
in ly dot• mine.
The wti Railroad Companies agree to
indemnify the eitv for all damages obtain
ed fr in it ir, consequence of the running of
their train- thro gh the streets.
The C.ty Council agrees to release the i
South Cardin* Railroad from their pre
vious contracts with the city relative to

between Quo ton audthis place, and
also release tl.om from the prohibition
against their engines and cars running

»The City Council, the Columbia & Au- ,
gust a Railroad and the South Carolina
Railroad promise to stop all litigation.
The alsovc comprise, substantially, the
terms of the agreement which was accept
ed yesterday by the two Railroad companies
and the City: and we think that it will be
found to be acceptable to the citizens of
Augusta and to the stockholders of the
railways. The publie will certainly bo de
lighted to learn that the strife which has
for so long a time been going on between
•he Columbia A Augusta and South Caro
■ iina Railroad has at last ceased and that
travellers may now pass over the two lines
without experiencing the inconveniences
and anuoyanoes which were at one time
caused by the celebrated “Railroad War.” ,

I Consolidation of the Charlotte k
South Carolina and 'Columbia k Au
gusta Railroads. —We Hited in the
Chronicle & Sentinel of last Friday
morning that the Board of Commissioners
appointed by the Charlotte & South Caro
lina and Columbia & Augusta Railroads to
arrange tho terms for a consolidation ot
the two corporations, had held a meeting
in this city on Thursday morning, and had
tailed to agree upon any arrangement; but
by the advertisement of Col. Win. John
ston, the President of the road, in another
column, it will be seen thaS the Commis
sioners have agreed upon terms, and that
a joint meeting of the stockholders will be
held in Columbia soon for their considera
tion. It seems that at the meeting on
Thursday morning nothing was effeetod.
The representatives ot the Columbia k
Augusta Railroad were willing to consoli
date if it could be done at par—that is,
four shares of their road, twenty-five dol-
I .r.s each, were to be given for one share of
the other Hoad's stock, one hundred dol
lars. The commissioners from the Char
lotte Road refused this proposition,
but substituted in its stead a proposal
that the Columbia Hoad shoull give five
shares of th ;ir stock for four of the Char
lotte Company’s. This was, in its turn,
promptly rejected by the other side; and
as both parties seemed equally determined,
the meeting broke up without anything
being accompli-hod.
At a late hour on Thursday night, how
ever, we learn that Col. William Johnston,
the President of the two companies, sue
ceedod ia inducing the Commissioners to
hold a second meeting, thii time in his
room at the Globe Hotel. Here the affair
was again discussed and finally a compro
mise was effected between the two parties,
which is, in substance, as follows: Tho
stock of the Columbia k Augusta Railroad
is valued at twenty-two dollars per share,
that of the Charlotte k South Carolina
Railroad is valued at par, and four and a
hall shares of the former are to he received
lor oue share of the latter. At the meet
ing of the stockholders of the two roads to
be held in July this agreement will be pre
sented to them for ratification or rejection,
as they may deem proper.
Tiie Way it Workn. —The New York
Journal oj Commerce, in giving particu
lars of the enormous imports of the last
four months at that port, shows that of the
$119,517,759 to which they arnou it, only
$38J21,941 were of dry goods; that is,
contrary to general belief, dry goods con
stitute only about one-third of all the
foreign product ! for which we have to pay.
Gur legislators have made tho United
Slater the dearest market in the world ;
consequently we sell little and buy mueb.
That proposition is so plain that the most
illiterate reader can understand it. The
theory of tho protectionists is, that by
making the home market dear, we encour
age home production. Tho remit, as
shown by experience, is that when our
markets are made dear we lessen our sales
to other countries, our produce costing so
much they can buy cheaper elsewhere ;
while everybody who can come here to sell
his wares, because everything is high.
This busmens would collapse of itself if we
had to pay specie lor the difference. But
as long as we can pay in bonds, only close
observers see any danger ahead.
Terrible Accident in Atlanta. —
From the Atlanta hra we learn that a ter
rible accident occurred at the Rolling Miil
in that city on Thursday. It seems that
Hiram McGill, a puddler, among the iron
which ho was throwing into the furnace,
found a bomb shell which had not been ex
ploded. Not wishing to throw it into the
furnace uutil the powder had been removed,
he took it into the blacksmith shop at
tached to the m il, and asked Milton
Muckle, a colored smith, to break it for
him. Muckle objected to doing so on the
ground that he feared an explosion. Mc-
Gill then told him he would strike it him
self, and laying tho shell on the anvil, told
Muckle to hold it there while ho struck.
Muckle very foolishly did so, and when the
blow came down the shell exploded with a
terrific report, tearing off both of Muckle’s
hands at tho wrists, tearing his bowels out
and seriously injuring McGill and George
Alexander, both white, besides injuring
several'others more or less. Fragments of
the shell flew all over the shop, and fairly
riddled the roof. Muckle has since died of
the injuries Received.
New Flour.—Wo aro indebted to
Messrs. J. M- Clark & Cos., of the Augusta
Mills, for a sack of double extra Flour for
family use, made of new wheat grown by
Mr. Peter Sheron of this city. Wo un
derstand that this flour is ten days earlier
than usual in tho market. Messrs. (Jark
k Cos. are now prepared to fill all orders
for their now flour.
Macon and Brunswick Railroad
The steamer Chan. S. Hardee brought
down on her last trip and landed at Dum
ber City a locomotive and two platform
cars for the Macon end of the Brunswick
Road, and on tho previous trip brought
the same coin lenient for the opposite end
of the Road, now in running order from I.
Cook's Landing o DjctOjrtowo. The loco
motives were the George Walker and Gov
ernor Crawford, both of which have per
formed more service in the extension and
building of railroads in tho South than al
most any other engines now in use. The
service! of the Walker have been employ
ed in tho building and extension of over
five thousand miles of track. No definite
time can be named as to when the Road
will be completed, but some time within
two months is the estimate of the contract
ors, who are busily employed on the vari
ous sections and are rapidly pushing the
work forward. Tho work is being ptosccut
ed from six different points,as follows: One
gang are at work fjom Uawkinsville to
Lumber City, oue from Lumber City to
Hawkinsv.lle, on ' from I. Cook’s Linding
toward the Gulf R ,ad, one from the Gulf
Road toward I. Cook’s Landing, and two
gangs working from the Gulf Road toward
and from Brunswick.
An Oration. —Wo learn from the At
lanta lutelliffaicer that in tearing down
the old Georgia Railroad Depot (which
was used as a banquet ha l by the firemen
at the late parade in that city) the follow
ing was found among the ruins. It is
evidently a speech delivered by a visitor,
and, as several celebrated orators went up
with the companies from this city, it may
be the production of home genius:
Totally wanted words—highly honored
deeply affected—Atlanta—carry it home
with me—children —posterity—celebration
—displays—illustrious friends —brilliant as
sembly—fair sex—.-moral order—events
which—things which no man —effects of
this day—will not take up your time —long
pull—immortal bard—valuable time—
Atlanta hearts—happy to bear—found at
my post—health to our polite, impartial,

Arrest of an Escaped Convict. —Late
Saturday aiternoon a negro by the name
of Bale Knight, while prowling about on
the bank of the river,discovered lying down
under t’.c bridge on the South Carolina
side of the Savannah a negro man name!
Ben Williams, whom he recognized as an
escaped convict. Quietly returning to the
Georgia bank, Knight informed a police
man of what he had seen and the two went
over to effect the convict's capture
Though taken entirely by surprise Wil
liams made a most desperate resistance,
and being armed with a knife succeeded in
wounding Knight, though cot in a dan
gerous manner. The officer, unwilling to
shovt, Lut determined to capture him,
drew his revolver and clubbing it used it
on the convict's head in such a way as to
soon cause a surrender. The pistol went
off in the melee but no one was injured by
the discharge. Williams was convicted
! fifteen months ago, under the scalawag
reyimt, of larceny, and was sentenced to
pay a fine of forty-five dollars and labor
three months on tue chain gang. He
made his esoape, however, alter serving
but a small portion of his period of serv.-
tudo and has been since that tithe at
liberty.

Jicgro Assessor.
i Second Day's Proceedings in the baited
States Commissioner's Court Corey Put
on Trial First —The Prosecution Asks
for a Postponement —The Case Postpon.'
ed Until Monday.
A great deal of interest was manifested
in the city Saturday morning with regard
to tho arrest of Elwin Belcher, the negro
Assessor of Internal Revenue for this dis
trict, and Eugene A. Corey, one of his
Assistants, for an alleged felony—destroy
ing Government papers ia order to injure
a person formerly in the service of the
Revenue Department. 5V hen the investi
gation commenced in the office of the
Uni-cd States Commissioner oa the corner
of Broad and Kollock streets in this city, a
eonsiaerable number ot ex-rebels,Ku-k!ux,
mongrels, carpet-baggers and Republicans
of the Conservative type were assembled
in order to witness the proceedings. Among
others present was our distinguished fei
low-eitizin(?i, the “Hon.” C: 11. Prince,
the carpet-bagger Representative ot this
District in the United Stares Congress.
Asa matter of course the countenances of
the maligrianu were-“a’l spread with a
broad grin” and they seemed to enjoy
hugely the discomfiture of the “nigger As
sessor,” as they were rebellious enough to
term the protege of Senator Sumner. Pun
ctually at 11 o’clock all the parties coueemed
were present but some delay was occasion
ed before the Court was opened. We learn
that the United States District Attorney,
Colonel Mdlcdge, refused to have anything
to do with the case on the ground that it was
outside of his jurisdiction; and the prose
ration was represented by Mr. J. David
son, a young lawyer of this city. Mr. J.
C. C. Black appeared for the two defend
ants. Corey, the alleged principal in the
transaction, is a white man; the alleged
accessory, Belcher, is a mulatto, of an
under-done ginger-bread color, apparently
twenty-six or seven years of age, very stout
aud stupid looking.
The counsel lor the defence asked if the
Court was ready to proceed in the case
Against E. A. Corey.
The counsel for the prosecution said that
he was'not ready, fur trial, and asked a
further postponement until next Monday
morning at 10 o’clock.
The counsel for the defence wished to
know on what ground this postponement
was asked. Ha had a right to a more
definite answer than he had received. The
case had been commenced on Friday rnorn
• ing and the prosecution had certainly time
to prepare their case. Tie demanded to
know the grounds for continuance.
The counsel on the other side said he
wished time in which to make out his ease,
procure the attendance of witnesses, etc.
He had but recently been employed by his
cjient and had not time to make a show
ing.
The Commissioner decided to -postpone
the ease until 10 o’clock Monday morn
ing.
Advice to Mr. Motley.— The “Jour
nalof Commerce" is advising Mr. Motley,
when he gets to England, to abstain from
making speeches* and to do what business
lie may have to do directly with Lord
Clarendon and the Foreign Office :
“Speeches from Motley on English soi
in the Sumner vein or anything like it (the
editor thinks), would be madness, if we
expect to effect a peaceful settlement with
England. At the same time, as Mr. Sum
ner’s speech was not an 1 Jieial aet, it is
not incumbent on Mr. Motley to explain it
away, or even to allude to it. If it is im
politic to wound tho prido of England, it
is still more so to put forward any expla
nations which may appear to indicate that
the American government had taken a
stand from which it is now obliged to re
cede.”
Increased Representation. The
Wilmington Journal has made up and
published an elaborate statement of the
iucreascd representation to which the South
is entit ! ed under the new order of things,
basing its calculation on the population
furnished by the census, of 1860. According
to this the representative strength of the
South will be increased as follows : Mary
land 2, Virginia 8, North Carolina 4, South
Carolina 5, Georgia 6, Florida 2, Alabama
5, Mississippi 4, Louisiana 4, Texas 2,
Missouri 1, Arkansas 1, Tennessee 3, Ken
. tucky 3 —equal to an increase of fifty in
the Lower House of Congress.
From the New York IF or Id.
Our New Minister to Spain.
DANIEL E. SICKLES.
The appointment by President Grant of
Daniel E. Sickles as Minister to Spain, vice
John P. Hale, resigned, has occasioned so
much comment that we print below a
sketch of certain portions of his career that
have from time to time been brought to
public notice:
Daniel E. Sieklds was born in this city
in October, 1821. When he was old
enough to be put to some uselul employ
ment ho was taught the printer’s trade,
which he followed for several years. As
he emerged from boyhood he took part in
ward polities, and soon became notorious
in all the mysteries of ballot box stuffing,
running primaries, and manipulating voters
at the' polls. His manner of life brought
him into several damaging scrapes. In
1837 he was indicted in the Court of Ses
sions in this city on a charge of false pre
tences, but the matter was hushed up,
through political influence. A few years
later lie was arraigned before tho same
court, and compelled to pay over certain
misappropriated funds to one Moore, who
appeared as plaintiff, in December, 1846,
1 he was indicted by the Grand Jury on a
j charge of grand larceny. Tho offence
j charged against him was that he had taken
a mortgage, entrusted to his care in his
i father's office for delivery to Kemble &
Cos . and soil it, appropriating the money
to bis own use. He was tried for the of
\ fence, and acquitted on tho plea of the
i statute oflimitation.
In the meantime, Sickles had studied j
law, and had reeeived admission to the bar j
in 1843. His activity in local politics was ;
rewarded by a nomination for the State [
Assembly, in 1847, and this was followed
by his election. At this time ho was living
with Fanny White, the keeper of a noto
rious house of prostitution in Mercer
street, and it wa3 the current belief that
sho supported him with the wages of her
shame. A curious incident took place
which brought his name before the public
in no enviable light. There was
bill due at the ba. nio of Fanny White,
and eatlyone morning, when the milkman
called lor the payment, Sickles’ mistress
took the money from his pocket and gave
it to a servant girl to settle the claim.
The money proved tj be counterfeit, and !
the servant girl was arrested, and on the
trial all the tacts came out.
During the session of the Legislature,
Sickles took Fanny White to Albany and
introduced her iu the Assembly Chamber.
This scandalous conduct created a great
deal of indignation, and the House by a
vote passed a censure upon the act.
In 1852, there was a bitter fight in this
! city over the office ofOorporation Counsel,
Robert J. Dillon and Nelson J. Watcr
. bury being the opposing candidates. The
I friends of Waterbary prepart and a circular
j addressed to voters, which was enclosed
with a ballot in an envelope, and taken to ;
the Broadway Postoffice fir delivery.
Sickles belonged to the opposing faction,
and when he'” got wind of this, gathered
h s roughs about him. and with several
carriages drove to the post iffice. 11c
charged the building, captured it, and
tearing open the mail-bag*, carried off the
obnoxious documents. He was arrested
upon a charge of robbing tne mails, bat, as
usual, the matter was hushed up and never
came to trial.
In 1855. Sickles was elected to the State
Senate. He took a conspicuous part in
that body in fighting the Albany Bridge
bill, and also in defending the Trinity
Church corporation in tbe contest over
their property. The statement has been
made that he received SIO,OOO in each of
these cases for his influence. At any rate,
he was living the following year at the rate
of $30,000 pier annum, which was a re
markable change for one who had been
comparatively poor but a short time before.
His Senatorial career was cut short by
his nomination by the President as Secre
tary of Legation to London. It is under
i stood that Mr. Buchanan, then Minister
to England, solicited this appointment, and
it was made against the protest of Mr.
Marey, the Secretary ot State, who, as 3n
old New Yorker, had had occasion to know
a great deal about the appointee. The new
Secretary of Legation carried his character
istic tailings with him to England, much
to the annoyance of his chief. He borrow
ed money freely, and in return gave drafts
on the United Stales Treasury. The
, Secretary of the Treasury at the time, Mr.
Guthrie,"refused to honor these drafts, and
when at last Mr. Buchanan was obliged to
send Sickles home, the disappointed credi
tors, among whom were some lordiings and
men of fashion, followed him, and iu vain
importuned him for payment.
Upon reaching New York from his
j foreign exploits, Sickes again pluuged into
1 politics. He procured the nomination and
I election to Congress from one of the lower
districts of this city. His opponent, coil
tested the seat, and it was charged in the
public prints that Sickles imported voters
from Brooklyn, and affidavits Dj that effect
were printed. He was distinguished tbr
nothing during his first term, save the ex
pression of ultra pro-Southern and pro
slavery sentiment*, all of which he repudi
ated when the war opened a bettcT chanco
in another direction. He was re-elected
to Congress in 1858, and it was during the
latter part of this term that he became an
actot in the most terrible and disgusting
tragedy that has stained the annals of tho
national capital.
The circumstances of this affair, as ap
peared upon the trial, were these : Mrs.
Sickles, who was the daughter of a woman
with whom it was alleged Sickles had or.ee
maintained a criminal connection, redded
with her husband in Washington. There,
through an introduction by her ! u*band.
she became acquainted with Philip Barton
Key. a gentleman of culture and address,
who became a frequent visitor to Sickles’
house, and the acquaintanceship with Mrs.
Sickles eventually ripened into criminality.
It is said that Sickles knew or suspected
of this intimacy. At any rate, it was the
common talk ia the city long before he
took measures to avenge his “dishonored
bed.” An anonymous note addressed
to bim, with details of Mrs. Sickles' crime
roused him to action. It appears that
eighteen hours after the receipt of this ;
note, and when, as the prosecution after
ward contended, he had ample time to
cool off’from the first effects, of the dread
ful disclosure, he sahied out with a friend, j
and finding Key at the corner of Lafayette ;
place, near the Club House, slaughtered
him where he stood. This was oa a Sab
bath afternoon, as Ivey was on his way |
home from Church. Sickles shot him with
a revolver in the groin. The wounded
man took refuge behind a tree, crying out, I
“Don’t shoot me,” “-Don’t murder me.” 1
Sickles followed him up, and shot him :
again. lie fell to the sidewalk, and for a !
moment rested his head upon his arm.
Sickles then stood over him and shot him
in the breast. Just then Lutterworth came
up, and touching Sickles on the shoulder,
advised him to desict. bickles took Lis
friend’s arm, and the twain walked away.
The murderer exhibited the utmost cool
ness during the entire affair. Key never
spoke after the third shot. He was taken
into the Club House aud expired in a few
moments.
The murder took place February 28,
1859, and the trial came offin the follow
ing April—just ten years ago. It lasted
from the ith to the 26th, and created great
excitement both in Washington and
throughout the country. A great array
of counsel appeared for the defendant
Among them were Edwin M. Stauton,
James T. Brady, John Graham, Reverdy
Johnson, Thomas Francis Meagher, and
Colonel Phillips, of Alabama. The lion.
Robert Quid, now of Richmond, Virginia,
conducted the prosecution,assisted by Mr.
Carlisle. Toward the close of the trial
Mr. Ould endeavored to introduce testi
mony as to Sickles’ previous bad charac
ter, but it was over-ruled. The sympathy
of the jury was evidently with Sickles from
the outset. The court-room was crowded
with his New York friends, who made
boisterous demonstrations in his favor, and
the rulings of the judge were nearly always
in his favor. Brady and Stanton made
elaborate arguments for the defence, and
when the jury rendered an acquittal, a
scene followed rarely witnessed in a court
house. The people went wild with cheers,
one of the counsel kissed the liberated
man, and another sat down and wept.
Sickles was carried in triumph to his home,
and a band of music in the -evening sere
naded iris counsel, and would have sere
naded him but for the good sense of Mr.
Brady, who made them a speech, and
begged them to go home.
iLettersof congratulaiipn pouredinupon
Sickles from all parts of the country. He
informed his friends that he would_ imme
diately procure a divorce from his wife,
and after i roviding for her decently cast
her from his mind forever. But* not so
long after, when he returned to New York,
to the astonishment of the world, be took
his wife back to live with him. This ex
traordinary conduct swept nearly every old
friend from his side. Men who had stood
by him through the trial like brothers,
turned away from him forever in the in
tensity of their _ disgust. His political
enemies visited him with their most with
ering sarcasm, and the Tribune published
an article upon him almost unequalled in
its brutality. Sickles, in reply to these
strictures of friend and foe, came out in a
letter defending his conduct, but -it won
back none of the former.
The cause of this strange course was
never publicly known, but the story cur
rent in private circles was that certain
promissory notes had been discounted at
tho Shoe and Leather Bank in favor of
Sickles, bearing the endorsement cf Ba-‘
gioiijhis father-in-law. This endorsement
Bagioli failed to recognize as his, aud to
save himself from the accusation of writ
ing what ho should not write, Sickles sub
mitted to terms—ho went back to his wife.
The uotes were settled several years after
ward.
The year following the murder, the se
cession troubles commenced, and Sickles,
true to his Congressionil record, was elo
quent in defence of the course of tho South.
It was stated at the time, that some weeks
after the firing upon Sumter, when the
whole North was aroused to a freDzy of
warlike excitement, Sickles, met a band of
Southern sympathizers at the New York
Hotel, and harangued them upon the tolly
and wickedness of coercion. Suddenly, ho
gave way to the current, and blossomed
into an ardent patriot. He raised a brigade
for service in the field, He was ia not
water from the beginning. His first trou
ble was with tiie Union Defence Commit
tee because they wouli not accept his
vouchers and pay monty on them when
they were written with i lead pencil. At
last be received SII,OOO from the commit
tee, but subsequently to took-the men’s
receipts for the money to \Vashington, and
upon the claim that tho money had been
paid out of his own pocSet, ho received it
over again. The brigadt cost the city, to
arm and equip, nearly 8300,000. When
it was taken to Washington, Sickles march
ed it to the White House, and boastingly
informed Lincoln that it had been raised
out of his own means.
General Sickles’ principal military exploit
was at Gettysburg. By i blunder he near
ly lo3t the battle to the Union cause, and
led his men to be mowuddown like grass.
This affair induced a prominent general to
assert in a commuDicatioi to the press that
if General Sickles “had not lost his leg at
the battle of Gettysburg ho would have
been cashiered.” The vound kept him
from active service in the field during the
remainder of the war.
When the Recnnstruttion act passed
Congress, and tho South was cut up into
satrapies, Sickles was seat to lord it over
South Carolina. lie wat as cruel and ar
bitrary there as the most ardent hater o(
the vanquished Carolinians could wish.
He arrested citizens and threw them into
the military prisons witheut examination;
seized funds in the bank; shut up the sav
ings institution, and forded the people to
submit to humiliations of all kinds’, that
they were powerless to resist. Ho made
himself tnoroughly detested by those over
whom he ruled, aid it was with intense
gratification they learned st last that Presi
dent Johnson had resolved to remove him.
He came hick home, was banqueted by
the Union-League Club, toasted by John
J.iv, and rested on his honors.
Darina the late Presiiential election,
while dravving pay as au ofieer in the army,
he traversed the country making political
speeches. His candidate was elected, and
he now has his reward —tho mission to the
proudest and most punctilious nation in
the old world.
Sale of a First-Class Planting In- j
terest. —The immense landed interest of 1
the South, so full of resovees, and which j
only require the application of skill and
capital to produce the most fruitful results,
are gradually passing into the possession of-;
parties who have large means, and who !
will use ail the appliances that wealth can ;
command and energy procure to bring
forth in abundance the valtable products :
which this soil and elimate are so capable
of yielding. One of our enterprising com
mercial firms, Messrs. Wills A Chisolm,
have, in connection with Henry Hart,
Esq., of New York, lately purchased on
the Combahee River, between this city an! '

partly, of the old lkake barimv. which was
last in possession of Daniel Blake, Esq., j
in whose family it bar been from colonial ;
times. This extensive property has an
area of about 14,000 acres, of which 1,450
are the best class of rice land, 400 ficres of
cleared upland, and much of the balance
most superior timber 1 md. The Charles
ton and Savannah Railroad passes through
this property to the length ot about four
and a half miles. This body of l and was
disposed of for forty thousand dollars, a
portion being in cash, and the balance on
time. They have also purchased adjoin
ing, the Pleasant and Rose Hill Pianta- i
tions, consisting of 476 number one .
rice land. 200 acres of cleared upland and j
1,700 acres of superior oak and hickory j
land. This property was owned formerly I
by Charles Heyward, Esq., and lastly by
Mrs. General Trapier. and purchased
through Messrs. W. C. Bai A Cos., for
twenty-eight thousand dollars, part cash,
and the balance on time, chase combined
plantations form one of the most admir
able and extensive planting interests in
the South, and the enterprising purchas
-1 ers expect to place it in ->ueh condition, by
the introduction of every improvement, as
wjl] make it blossom as the rose, and be a

Atlanta, May 29. p m.—Miss Pene
lope Adkins, daughter of the late Senator
Adkins, publishesan appeal for justice, in
which, speaking of the reports relative 10
her father,' says: “I hurl buck the in
i famous charges they allege against my de
ceased father. These charges consist alto
: gether of vague rumors. If they have
: proof of dissolute conduct against him
sufficient to justify murder for personal
| cause*, let it be produced. They are well
, aware that no private injury to his assas
sin caused his murder; they know and
feel in their hearts that he was killed on
accountof his politics alone, solely be
cause he was a Republican. ’ The
murderers are well known, aud can
be named, yet no step has been taken to
bring them to justice. I have no recourse
but to appeal to the people of Georgia and
of the Nation for retribution upon them
aud their secret clan of assassins. Such
au appeal I hereby solemnly make.”

The Cold Sulphur Springs, Va.—
We call the special attention of our read
ers to the advertisement in our paper to
day of this Summer resort. It is situated
in the mountains of Virginia, in a region
of country famous for the romantic, beau
fui and diversified character of its scenery,
and for the delightful, salubrious and
invigorating nature of its Summer climate.
Being only two miles from tbe Chesapeake
a Ohio Railroad, it is very convenient ol
access. The proprietor presents an assay
of evidence in the form of letters and cer
tificates ofEminent Physicians and other
nersons of the highest character for integ
rity and intelligence, which is absolutely
irresistible in its nature, and must carry
certain conviction to every mind of the
great and even wonderful remedial vir- j
tues of the mineral water, which he
brings t 0 tbe notice of the public. i
The GREENBRIER WHITE SUL- |
PHCR the ROCKRIDGE ALUM, the
SWEET and the HOT SPRINGS, have
for manv years been considered as among
the most valuable of the medical and
health giving fountains of Virginia and
West Virginia; and undoubtedly merit
their high reputation. , ...
Yet from the certificates publisned w itn
the advertisement of the COLD SLL- i
PHUR SPRINGS, it appears that some
cases of severe intractable maladies for
the relief of which, even those justly rO ( ;
Downed Mineral A aters had been used
iu vain have been entirely and perma- I
•nently cured by the Cold Sulphur ater.

Mr. Boutwell’sFinancial “Jerks.”
-The Yurld thinks- Wall street is alto
gether too deep (’or Mr. Boutwell. After
dwelling upon his uncertain and make-shift
policy as developed in the frequent change
of his gold-selling and 1 bond-buying per
formances, the editor says:
“So long as his reservoir in the Treasury
is unexhausted, he can always, by pouring
out fast enough, create a supply of gold in
the market in excess of the demand, and
bring down the'price. But if he continues,
at the same time, to buy bonds and arrest
their exportation, the gold will immediate
ly find its way abroad, and he can keep
down the price only for the brief period
necessary to exhaust the Treasury. Then
gold will go up with an elastic and uncon
trollable bound; the importation of goods
will be stopped in default of any res >urce
for payment; there will be bo further re
plenishing of the Treasury with gold; the
Government will lack the means of paying
the interest on the public debt; confi fence
will be shaken; the Treasury will be forced
to resell, at a ruinous discount, the bonds I
it has been purchasing; and distress, panic !
and bankruptcy will overspread tbc coun
try. Mr. Boutwell is plunging headlong j
toward these hideous consequences, by the
jerky, fitful measures which he adopts in
his desperate endeavor to arrest the ad
vance in gold.”

A curious physiological experiment has
receutly been made. A few grains of bar
ley were placed before a hungry pigeon.
While pecking at the barley the brain of
the pigeon was frozen by means of a spray
od ether. The bird, being thus deprived
of consciousness, ceased pecking, aud re
mained as if dead. The barley was then
removed, and the ether spray having
ceased, the brain was allowed to thaw.
The bird soon returned to life, and its first
act was to renew the pecking lor .a time,
although no food was before it.

NATURE’S REMEDY FOR CHRONIC
DISEASES!
Medical Properties and Uses of the Water.
This water combines in a remarkab e
degre those properties which render it a
remedial agent of peculiar, perhaps of un
equal value for the eradication of disease
and the restoration of health.
The extraordinary cures which have
been made by it in many Chronic Diseases,
and in some cases which seemed almost
hopeless, justly ontitle it to rank with the
most famous Mineral Springs of Virginia
and the world. Indeed there is strong
reason to believe that in many of the most
serious, unmanageable and widely pre
vailing diseases that Allliet the human race,
the Cold Sulphur Water is not only the
most safe, mild and pleasant, but also the
mostcertain aud effectual remedy yet dis
covered.
Under its benign, revolutionizing and
renovating influences, many chronic mala
dies vanish like the mist of the morning
under the unclouded rays of the sun ; the
ruddy glow of health revisits pallid cheeks
to which ithad become a stranger; in many
cases animation, elasticity, energy and
buoyancy supersede tho bodily languor,
debility, irritation and disease which hail
long reigned supreme in the system, and
cheerful spirits, the natural companions of
vigorous health, take the place of that
gloomy aud melancholy condition of the
mind which is the legitimate offspring of
physical suffering.
This water presents the rare combina
tion of Aperient, Diuivtic, Diaphoretic,
Alterative, Tonic and Kutrophie proper
ties. Acting freely upon the Bowels, Liv
er, Kidneys and Skin, it thoroughly
purifies the blood, and eliminates from tho
system the essential elements of disease;
while by its powerful Tonic aud Kutrophie
action it invigorates tho stomach; enriches
the vital fluid ; gives tone and energy to
the muscles and nerves; innovates the
entire organism, and re-establishes health
and strength.
In Dyspepsia, Liver Disease, Bilious
Complaints, Costiveness, and (Jene.qil De
bility, it is a remedy of unsurpassed utili
ty aud power.
Especially upon the STOMaCH its in
fluence is prompt, decided and highly
beuelicial. It speedily relieves heart
burn, increases the appetite and promotes
digestion, so that as a general rule persons
using it can eat with impunity, aud that
all-important orgat which supplies
strength and nutriment to the whole sys
tem is soon restored to a strictly normal
condition.
Being an efficient Aperient and laxative,
it causes a regulat and healthy action of
the bowels, and is a most admirable
remedy in cases of habitual constipation.
As an anti-bilious remedy it is unsur
passed.
Over the functions of the LIVER it ex
ercises the most powerful and salutary
control. If the bile be deficient in quanti
ty, it acts as a direct stimulus to the Liver,
and surely though gradually forces the se
cretion up to a healthy standard. And
. whether the liver be torpid and obstruct
ed as i n jaundice, or in an excited and ir
ritated condition, discharging an excess of
vitiated bile, llie judicious use of this wa
ter is equally efficacious in unloading the
viscus and restoring the secretions to a
healthy state.
Being not only a free and powerful, but
mild and soothing DIURETIC, this water
exerts a decided, sedative and calmative
influence over the Urinary Organs ; and
has been pre-eminently successful in cases
of Inflammation, Irritation and Debility ol
the Kidneys, Bladder and Urethra. Asa
reinody in such maladies it has no supe
rior.
Insoinc Diseases Peculiar to Females
it is highly beneficial. Chlorosis and
LcucoirhiKa will be readily cured by the
Sulphur and Chalybeate waters here.
Amenorrhaia and Dysmciiorrhcee—vihen
purely functional diseases, and uncompli
cated by organic or structural derange
ment-will yield to tbe same means.
Cases of Erysipelas, Itheumatism and
Cutaneous Eruptions have been cured by
the Cold Sulphur Water. Asthma, Chronic
Bronchitis and Chronic Pneumonia, will
either receive much relief aud mitigation ,
from its use, or be entirely cured by it.
Various Chronic functional deranyements '
of the Heart, the Brain, and the Lungs,
and some forms of Neuralgia, Gout and
Scrofula are, in fact, sympathetic or sec
ondary diseases, aud hav.e their prime
cause or origin in, and are kept alive by, a
doranged, enfeebled and irritable condi
tion of the stomach and alimentary canal.
In such cases the Cold Sulphur Water, by
virtue of its unequalled curative and res- :
torativo powers iu diseases of tiie Diges
tive Organs, is the appropriate remedy.
The great Alterative, Tonic, and Eu
trophic properties of this water are clearly
shown by the marked improvement oi the
general health, and the increaso of ilesh
and strength which generally lollow its
use.
In many cases so speedy and thorough
is its curative agency, that iu the lan
guage of a distil guianed physician, who
bad bimseif seen Us effects, "No one
an eye-witness would believe in the
marvellously rapid change to a; normal
condition or that of health.”
Some of the cures which have been
made by it are of the most extraordinary
character. Cases which were apparently
of the most hopeless nature, for the relic!
of which not only all the resources ol
medical skill but the m/>st celebrated Min
eral Springs of Virginia had been us and in
vain, have been entirely and permanently
cured by the Cold Sulphur Water.
CHALYBEATE SPRING.
Besides the Sulphur Water, there is
upon the premises a fink Chalybeate
Spring, which possesses the well-known
virtues of waters of its class.

S. Goode, Esq. : —Dear Sir : lu the Summer of l!:si <
discovered ao inaldi us pproach of Dyapept csymptoM
of ft Dysenteric character (then epidemically prevail n*
iti E Va.,) which finally in my c*ne resulted iu an un
questionable ulceration of the lower portion of the colon
with a gen> ral subacute irritation of the smaller intes
tines. Tne ulceration continued for more than six months
in a very aggravated form, when in August, 185 J, 1 visit -
I ed the celebrated curative wa'ers of the Rockhrid®.*
i A utu, and after using that water fifteen or twenty days 1
: was not materially improved, Blinking it rather stimu
i biting at that time, i left the Springs, hut continued to
travel in thd mountains by brivate conveyance until I
« oultl venture home, where l remained in a feeble condi
tion. In 1854,1 returned by private means to the moun
tains, travelling and amusing myself by hunting, fishin".
kc. In 1855, ’ob and ’57, I found no marked improvement
in my disease. In June 1858 I was seriously and suddenly
attacked in a mqre aggravaieddbriu, when' 1 returue lto
giw the Rockbridge Alum another trial, and after a stay
of several weeks 1 was much improved. Dur dig my visit
I took in iny carriage a party of friends to the (’old Sul
phur (which was then in an embryo state of improve
ment), 1 was at once favorably impiessed with the water
I next visited the Rockbridge Baths, where l remuined ii
month and was, I must say, decidedly benefited, but
only temporarily. As again in the season of 1859 my
general condition was becoming more serious bv an ob
stinate c stive condition of the bowels, with a consider*
able thickening of thp mucous membrani of tho colon,
and by two physicians was pronounced tumorous This
season I visited tho Warren Springs, aud from thence t*.
Hot Springs, using fir t the boiler for a torpid livfr and
Rheumatism of the spine. 1 was by this treatment im
proved as far as the Rheumatic Symptoms involved,
but no eftiecton the obstinate Liver, for in 1860 1 wan so
reduced in flesh aud by continued constipation my nerv
ous system was so shattered, that it totally disquaiifiedme
for any kind of business, suffering from ucid stomach,
nervous debility,palpitation of the heart, with such obsti
nHt - torpidity of the liver and bow- Is, &c., a? to compel
the use of wooden bougies, under a rigid cont action of
the sphinctor muscle, in order to ass away j.y fecul
discharge from the bowels. In August, 1860, in this co. .
I dition I visited the Cold Sulphur Springs, wh->ro I r<-
main r -d a month, and from the constanr use of the wute,
(and bath occasionally,) 1 was relieved of acid stomach,
c iis' ipa’ion, nervous debility,' p ilpilatiou of the heart and
cod sxia. My feeble pulse of fifty-four beats to the minut •
ivss «t 8 oreu to seventy-five, a usua ly healthy standard,
