MINOR TOPICS. < A young man recently gave himself up to the police in Faria, saying that he wan ltoche fort, and that he had been in France for seve ral mouths, having escaped from New Caledo nia on the back of a shark. The etory was so fishy that the authorities put the author in a lunatic asylum. Sickles, formerly Minister to Spain; Jay, new Minister to Austria, and Bancroft, ac credited to Prussia, arc all coining home. We hope there will be no revolution in Europe in consequence, lichen' k. from London, is al rekdy here, and it is said that Washburne. from Pans, is coming to take charge of the Treasu ry. It 1b quite possible that our diplomacy abroad will not suffer. The declared intention of Governor Ames, of Mississippi, to suppress Louisiana duelling within his bailiwick appears to have excited general approbation. It does seem unjnst to trespass on a neighbor's territory for such re prehensible purpo,ea. If Lontsianans must fight, it is only reasonable that their own soil should be the theatre for those v.olations of law and public morality which shock the con science of the age. It is staled that a prominent Clyde shipbuild er bas recently visited this country with a view to purchase suitable grounds upon which to es tablish a very large ship bnilding establishment for his sons. He stated that the United Ktattß furnishes at the present time the only facilities for the prose ution of a successful business in this branc . of art, »n l it would not be long be fore American bniit ships of all kinds will find a ready market all over the world. Hie Louden AtheniKum in severe npon Miss Dickens' novel, -The Mill Wheel," and recom mend* lo die young authoress a course of grammar an 1 Engli-li reading. The crilic says the look abounds in slang, rhapsody and vnl garity. The same charge might be made against the works of Miss Dickens' father; but then--he was Dickens ! Who thinks of gram mar or slang, or other vulgarity, in reading Oliver Twist, the Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nieklcby, David Copperfield! While we by no weans agree with the New York Tribune in all its political opinions we cordially concur in the general judgment which places it in the first rank of daily news papers in this or any other country. It is able, impartial and independent. It has no longer to light its battles weighted with an Ad ministration harness, and is therefore the fresher and more forcible, 'I lie paper is now thirty-four years old, and is in a condition of prosperity never reached by it before. ’llie Orangemen of New York have held a meeting to decide upon the manner of cele brating the twelfth of July this year. Inas much as they have vindicated their right to parade, and as this way of celebrating the day meets with the disapproval of a considerable portion of the Protestant community, they de cided not to undertake a parade this year. The day occurs on Sunday, and the Orangemen will go in a body to some church not yet selected, without regalia or banners; and on the day following they will have a pio-uic at lonia Is land. conducted on total abstinence principles. The young and good looking Ameri an, named lined, who commanded the squad of highwaymen that a short time since stopped the stag ( coach between San Antonio and Aus tin. Texas, and so skill ally, thoroughly, quickly and delicately appropriated unto themselves the valuables of the passengers not even re specting an Episcopal Bishop—has been cap tured at Dallas, Texas. A large reward had been offered for his arre t, and now the United States Marshal is on liis way to bring tho young Dick Turpin to Austin, there to be tried for his life. MiHH Mary Mathowson, a Glasgow maiden, disliked cricket; her betrothed, Mr. Eccles Shorrock Eccles, was passionatoly fond of the game. Unfortunately neither remembered the good precedent sot thorn by Mr. and Mrs. Spralt, the subjects of a widely known nursery rhyme. Miss Mathesou would not hear of cricket, so Mr. Eccles, feeling that his wife must boa lady sympathetic towards all liis joys as well as sorrows, broke his promise to her. Asa balm to her wounded feelings the lady has been awarded £2,000 by a jury, but she now feels an iutensor hatred for cricket than before. The Providence Press is responsible for the statement that on Thursday morning three young men were walking along tho street in that city sheltered from the rain by umbrellas, when suddenly oso of them stopped and called tho attention of his companions to the fact that his umbrella was on lire. It burned briskly, and was so completely dostroyod that it was thrown away. Neither of the parties wore smoking, and how tho umbrella got on lire was a mystery none of them could solve. The cloth had evidently been satura'od with kerosino, or some other fluid of an inflammable nature. Among tho curiosities in the collodion of tho Now York Historical Society may bo soon tho chair which was used by Napoleon Bona parte whoa First Consul of tho French Ropnb lio ; a tassel from the sword of Marco Bozzar ris, won by him on the night when he fell in the attack on the Turks at Kanpenisi; two pens (ordinary quill pons, cut shorter than usual), which Humboldt used in writing the Cosmos: Home articles of China tableware w hich o.uno over in the Mayflower, a bullet mould in which a great portion of tho statue of George I lie that used to occupy a place in Bowling Green, was cast into bullets during the war of the re volution. Tho determination of railroad companies in the Western States to resist the enforcement of arbitrary freight rates by State officials has induced Governor Taylor, of Wisconsin, to issue a proclamation enjoining tho refractory cotnpauies to gubniit. The St. Paul and North western Itailroads annouuco their determina tion to oporaio llioir roads without reference to iho provisions of tho railroad act. The Courts will have to decide this question, in a State of public feeling on Iho subjoct peculiar ly hostile to the railroad. It will bo very hard for an elective judiciary to hold an even bal ance betwooii tho corporations and their con stituencies. There has been a curious story going the *roUi.'<ls of the London clubs to the effect that the Prince Imperial, woary of maternal con trol ami Woolwich discipline, and so impressed by tho display of French feeling at tho recent colebratioh at Chiselhurst, had suddonly de termined to start for France, and to imitate his father by suddenly landing at Boulogne and appealing to the sympathies of the fish women of that port. Tho story says that tho Prince actually got as far as Dover, but that ho was there stoppod by a faithful adherent, whoso age and oxperienc) were sufficient ex cuse foi his skepticism of French enthusiasm for “Ac Tatit TritX>lore." During the six months ending in December, 1873, the balance of trade was in favor of this country. The exports exceeded the imports by over #16,000.000. During the same time the balance of trade in Franco was unfavora ble. Imports into that country had exceeded exports about $15,000,000. On every principle of inflation reasoning it is flourishing America aud not impecunious France which should be ag in taking its place among solvent specie paying nations. That such is not the case is possibly owing to incompetency at Washington. It may turn out after all that tho private want of the country is more brains instead of more currency. It will bo & eauco of profound regret among the learned that the elasrieal and erudite speech of General John -V. Login before the Washington Board of Public Works on the sub ject of wooden pavements lias not been pre served. In this remarkable production the whole subject, from the military roads of the Homans dawn to the latest invention in wooden pavements, was reviewed in a masterly manner. After paying £5.000 for such a speech the Board of I’ublie Works were extremely re miss in not securing it for remission to the •latest posterity. If Geueral Garfield wore not so careless of his literary fame he would have preserved it for the delight and instruction of all future Boards of I'ublie Works. The l’aris correspondent of the New York ! Ik rail says: ‘Among the many bills at pres ent before tbe French National Assembly there is one against duelling, which proposes to rank homicide in single combat with murder pure and simple, and duelling wounds, even of the j slightest kind, with injuries inflicted, 'with in tent to murder.' Infect, duelling, instead of be ing, as it has hitherto been, a misdemeanor puuishable with a fine and short imprisonment, would become, under this new act. a felony of grave order. The bill derives its chief signifi cance from the fact, that the Government sup ports it. and a recent trial, in which a Rouman ian Prince was sentenced to four years' im prisonment for killing another Roumanian, the seconds all reaping two years' apiece, proves a new born determination on the part of tbe au thorities to cope with the swash-buckling ma nia. They will not cope with it successfully for auy long time, however. It was a pretty hard case. F.niest Renseli kept store and lived alone in Alpine Bounty. California. He shut np shop and went all the way to kati Frauc.sco afoot to get a wife. He found a woma i that suited him. married her and took her oat into the Alpine region. In just eleveu days Mrs. Renseli left his bed sud board and went to live with F.riek Erickson. Renucli's friend. Erickson joked with Uensch in a friendly manner about the family incident, and was very much obliged to Keusck for going to San Francisco and bringing him out such a nice, good-looking companion. Renseli could not hear it auy longer, so one day he took a gun and shot Erickson to death in his own sa loou, firing through the window. Renseli then gave himself up to the authorities. The sheriff was taking him from the jail where ht was to some other place to be tried, one day lately, and a party of masked men rode np and de manded the prisoner. They took him and hung him to a bridge beam until he was dead, and now the woman has nobody to lean upon. Renseli was a Dane and Erickson and Mrs. lieusch were both Swedes, and had a national affinity which caused ail the trouble. i CONVENTION OF COTTON EX CHANGES. Augusta the Point. Among our dispatches received last evening is the following: New Orleans, May 7, 1874. - A con vention of Cotton Exchanges has been called to meet at Angusta, Ga., on June 13th. The object is to elicit information and establish regulations for trade. The New Orleans Cotton Exchange hopes to meet delegates there from every cotton centre. We are glad that Angusta has been definitely settled upon as the pl ice of meeting for the Cotton Exchanger*. No better point for such a meeting cou ‘” have been selected. The delegates will receive every courtesy at the hands of onr citizens, and their stay in our undst made as pleasant as possible. W ith the New Orleans Cotton ExcLange we trust that every cotton centre will be repre sented . PORT ROYAL RAILROAD. Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the Port Royal Railroad was held at Beaufort, H. C., last Wednesday. Maj. Oeo. T. Jackson, the President, presented his report, showing a most fa vorable condition of affairs, taking all circumstances into consideration. A committee, with Hon. John P. King as Chairman, to nominate a President and Board of Directors, nominated the fol lowing ticket: President—Oeo. T. Jackson. Directors—Jno. P. King, H. R. Cook, Josiah Sibley, D. F. Appleton, W. F. Herring, R. E. Robbins, W. W. Clark, B. W. Lawton, T. P. Branch, J. C. D a * vant, D. O. Wilson, M. P. Stovall. The ticket was nnanimously elected. Mr. W. E. Jackson, one of the old Board, declined a re-election. After the adjournment of tho stockholders, the Directors met and elected Major R. Martin Secretary and Treasurer and General Freight and Ticket Agent, con solidating the offices. Major Jackson tendered his resignation as President, which was accepted and Major T. I' Branch, of this city, was elected by the Directors, President for theensuing year. The annual salary of the President was reduced from five thousand to twen ty-five hundred dollars. BIG BTEVE. The New Fire Alarm Bell in Position. The new fire alarm bell for Augusta reached the city yesterday morning via the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. It was taken off the train at ten o’clock, and at twelve was in the Tower and ready to have the screw placed in the top. It was put up by Mr. W. 11. Goodrich, with Mr. John Fuss as chief hand at the ropes. The bell weighs 5,631 pounds—little more than two thousand pounds lighter than the old bell. It was east March, 1874, by E. A. & G. R. Meneeley, of West Troy, New York. It bears upon one side the names of the Council in office at tho time the first bell was cast— March, 1860—the then officers of the Fire Department,and Fire Wardens, and open the other the present Mayor and Council, officers of the Department, and Firo Wardens. The first are as follows: Mayor—Foster Blodgett, Jr. Members of Council—First Ward— Jno. Foster, W. 11. Tutt, J. O. Clarke. Second Ward—S. D. Heard, John D. Smith, John G. Sledge. Third Ward—lt. H. May, W. C. Sibley, L. D. Ford. Fourth Ward—Aylmer Usher, Win. Gibson, John T. Miller. Fire Department—Chief Engineer—F. Lamback; Assistants—J. A. Robert, B. Haney. Fire Wardens—J. A. Robert, I). if. Denning, J. B. Platt, J. B. Stoughton. The following is a list of the present Council, officers of the Fire Depart ment, and Fire Wardens : Mayor—Chas. Estes. Councilmen—First Ward—John U. Meyer, James I’. Thompson, R. Sibley. Second Ward—T. G. Bar rett, J. K. Evans, J. B. Pournelle. Third Ward—Carlton Hillyer, Alex. Philip, Win. Bennett. Fourth Ward— T. W. Carwile, B. Doris, M. J.

Platt, M. F. Nelson, Wm. Mul lierin. The bell will be christened “Big Steve,” the name borne by its predeces sor, next Wednesday morning, when it will be struck, for tiie first time, by Mr. James Lysaught, the oldest Bell Tower man. A Novel Suit.— The Atlanta Jlcrr.ld, of Wednesday, says: A case was brought up for trial yesterday in the Superior Court of Fulton county that certainly caps the climax of litigation, and re minds one of the old fable of the ser pent that was saved from freezing, which, when it was warmed into life, stung its benefactor. The circumstaces, as we glean them, are as follows: In the year 1860 a man named John Gavin kept what is known as a beer jerking variety establishment on Mari etta street; a kind of free and easy con cern, in which cheap beer and stale speci mens of femininity were tho principle attractions. This place was, of course, resorted to by those who belong to that class of. humanity known as free aud easy in habit and association. On one occasion a citizen was knocked down by the proprietor and severely injured; a few nights afterwards an alarm of fire was given, and No. 1 Fire Company re paired to tho spot where the alarm was given and which was seen to be ou fire. In a few moments a stream of water was let into the house which quenched the fire and completely deluged the floor and fixtures. As soon as it was ascer tained that there was no further danger the water was stopped. For this service the proprietor brings suit against Messrs. Ed Mercer and Jerry Lynch for dam ages, these gentlemen being wealthy members of the company. The amount of damages claimed is for injury done to the establishment by water during tlie quenching of the flames. The reason assigned bv tho complain ant for instituting the suit against these parties are, that they were the leaders in the attempt to stop tho fire, or, as he asserts, to wash out liis house. The case was partially investigated on yesterday, the testimony being adverse to the com plainant, and will be continued to-day. We leavo the case for an intelligent jury and unprejtidioed public to decide; won dering only at the fact of a man, whose house was rescued from the flames, in stituting a suit against those who sought only to do their duty as firemen aud as good citizens in preventing a fire that might otherwise have destroyed thous ands of dollars worth of property. Melville Bonham. Mr. Bonliam will give au entertainment at Girardev’- Opera House Wednesday night. He gives the best one man show in America. We endorse the*following from the Ma con T> legrph and Messenger: Bonham. — Melville Bonham gave an entertainment at Ralston Hall last night before a very appreciative and select audience. If there is any one man ex hibition jti this country that surpasses him, we would like to see it. Sol. Smith Rnsseil is not to be compared to him. He is good m everything he undertakes, in song or recitation, and his selections are all of the most chaste and agreeable kind. This no ordinary show, but a most pleasant literary and musical en tertainment, which may be enjoyed by all without fear of hearing anything that could offend the most fastidious, and those who fail to see Melville Bon ham while he i* here will miss a treat they may not have tho opportunity to enjoy again soon. Port Rotal. — A dispatch was received last evening by CoL T. P. Brauoh, Presi dent of the Port Royal Railroad, stating that the steamship Memphis would ar rive at that port to-day, and would take passengers for Liverpool at 3120 in gold. The steamers of this line convey cotton to Liverpool from Augusta at the same rate, 5-16 of a penny, as is charged from New York to Liverpool, thus giving Au gusta cotton shippers an immense ad vantage. Parties desiring to make ar rangements for either freight or passage should apply to R. P. Rundle, at Port Royal. We learn from Col. Branch that there is a prospect of a steamship line being soon established between New York and Port Royal. Admitted to the Bar.— Yesterday, after a most searching examination in open Court by a committee composed of Wm. R. McLaws, J. C. C. Black and Eugene F. Yerdery, Esqs., and Solicitor Davenport Jackson, Messrs. Edward M. Habersham and Julian L. Oakman were admitted to plead and practice in all the Courts of law and equity in this State except the Supreme Court. The examination was a most creditable one to both gentlemen. Beautiful Job Work. —We have re ceived from the Chronicle and Senti nel job office, Augusta, Ga., a truly beautiful specimen of card printing. But we were not surprised at its perfect neatness when we learned that that prince of good workmen, Mr. M. M. Hill, executed the work. To those de siring an excellent job, we say go to the Chronicle and Sentinel job rooms.— Barnwell Sentinel. The grand union festival of the Macon Sunday Schools took place Wednesday last. THE CROPS. GEORGIA. m’duffie county. The Journal says: Our 'planting friends are very much discouraged at the prospect of making a crop this year. Many of the oldest farmers in this section inform us that the present Spring has been the most unpropitions one they have ever experienced. The continued wet weather drowned ont the corn, cotton and badly damaged the wheat and oat crops. Next came the cold hyperborean blasts from the north, causing the young cotton plants to turn yellow, droop and die, and finally the late heavy frosts which killed the weed outright, or injured it to such an extent that the farmers in many instances will have to plow up and replant. A great many are now plowing up to replant, and they experience great difficulty in procuring seed. Altogether it is a gloomy picture, but we hope for the better. FLOYD COUNTY. The Rome Courier says : The oldest inhabitant doesn't remember any plant ing season so backward as the present. The constant rains have not only pre vented our farmers from pitching their crops in season, but they have greatly injured the wheat. Pu a conversation with Mr. I-aac Murdock yesterday, lie informed us that the blades of the wheat are rotting, much of it nearly to the top, and that the headings of the wheat are short and stubby. He says this is gen erally so especially in the lowlands. He also informed us that the farmers gen erally are not more than half done plant ing, and some are not so fur advanced. In this section corn and cotton planting is generally completed in April. Mr. M. jives in Texas Valley, and lie says so far as he has seen tlie farms in the coun ty, the same state of the crops seem to prevail. CAMPBELL COUNTY. Avery destructive hail storm visited Palmetto on last Sunday morning, doing much damage to crops of every descrip tion in that neighborhood. TALBOT COUNTY. Columbus Enquirer : We have seen one large planter of Talbot county, who states that the frost of Thursday morn ing destroyed most of his cotton.— Another reports that none was injured in his district. Large farmers in this county say they never have seen cotton looking more sickly, and that much has been ruined. The same report comes from quarters in Alabama. The plant has been injuriously affected, as much by the cold nights as by the rains. We conclude from all this that cotton every where is backward, and that, in many districts it will have to be replanted. Where the lands were flooded it must again be bedded and cultivated before seed can be planted. Streams are rap idly falling. From Florida we get the intelligence that off the river crops were never more promising. MISCELLANEOUS. A correspondent at Sjiringfiehl says the recent cold snap was very injurious to crops and garden vegetables in that section, and tlie prospect is rather gloomy. Cotton in Baldwin county was also in jured from the same cause, and both in that county and in Hancock farmers have plowed up their fields preparatory to replanting. The yield of oates has been cut off' at least one-half in some of the Southern counties by a combination of bad weather, rust and insects. The late frost killed young cotton in Hancock county. Cotton is sick and wheat has the rust in Upsou county. SOUTH CAROLINA. The Edgefield Advertiser says : In cessant rains since Sunday afternoon roaring, pelting torrents—doing untold damage to farm and garden— and caus ing all classes of people and all callings to be anxious and depressed. Os tho vast quautitv of cotton seed planted during the five fair days preceding these last rains (the only planting days we have had in a month), a large majority must be washed entirely away. Mill stones planted on hill sides would have been washed away by tho floods of Sun day night and Monday. ALABAMA. Tho Eufaula Times says : The cotton planters report the cotton in Montgom ery county as looking exceedingly sick within the last few days, and we hear similar reports here almost every day. Constant rains, together with the cool days and chilly nights, have affecte 1 the plant very seriously. One planter says liis entire crop looks withered, aud lias the appearance of possum ears. TENNESSEE. [Grcenovillo Union, May I.] The wheat crop was seriously damag ed by the snow last Tuesday. Muck of it was broken at the joint and will not rise again. [Hartsvillo Sentinel, May I.] There was a heavy frost on Wednes day morning, and the fruit prospect is nearly destroyed by it. [Bristol Courier, May I.] We believe the fruit has been serious ly injured, if not entirely destroyed.— The growing wheat, which was very rank and full of sap, was beaten down by the snow, and we are afraid that the snow and frost have damaged the pros pects for a full crop quite seriously. [Dyersburg Becorder, May 2.] On account of the protracted rains onr farmers are very much behind with their crops. There lias been but very little corn or cotton planted. [Gallatin Tennesseean, May 2.] The frost of last Tuesday and Wednes day nights did considerable damage, but did not, as we are informed, kill all the fruit and young vegetables. It is be lieved that we will have a pretty fair fruit crop yet, unless we have some further disaster. It is not believed that the wheat crop was materially injured. [Knoxville Tress and Herald, May 2.] Advices from all portions of East Tennessee speak very favorably of the condition of the wheat crop and the fruit. Tho frost on Wednesday night was general, but we have yet to hear of any serious injury resulting therefrom. On the contrary, all the information ob tainable is to the effect that neither tlie fruit nor the wheat is materially injured by the Wednesday night’s frost. COTTON. The Business of the Past Week. The cot-.on market in Augusta during the past neek has been dull and nomi nal, with jut little change in quotations. The total receipts during the week were 881 tales against 1,093 bales last year. Thj sales were 1,091 bales, show ing a dectease of 321 bales in compari son with the same week last year. Re ceipts the present season to date, 195,- 106 bales; last season to May 9th, 170,- 753 bales, showing an excess the present season so far, of 24,353 bales. Ship ments during the week, 956 bales; same week last year, 2,084 bales. Estimated stock on hand, 14,644 bales. The receipts at all the ports during the week Vere 22,582 bales against 43,- 371 bales t ime week last year. The Crop. The latest intelligence does not give much encouragement in regard to the cotton cr-ip. The Albany yews says: It is no longer worth whjle to try to deceive ourselves with the vain hope that crops are not injured ty these floods, and the still more disastrous cold weather. Cotton is fatally lamaged, and we ttx the dam age at a hw estimate in naming twenty per cent. We have sad accounts from all points, and though many regard the damage astridmg, and express the opin ion that cotton is not so seriously hurt but that it can recover, the weight of common tense testimony and natural conclusion? tells a decided story of dis aster. Be'- -re this week’s rain and cold there was *'me hope that a reasonable stand would survive, but now it is be lieved to be impossble, and planters might as well make up their minds to the donbtftl expedient of replanting, or the certain iv of a very short crop. The editor of the Sumter Republican thus speak of a recent visit to Schley ! county: T?e farmers with whom we i conversed steely, spoke rather discour agingly of the crops, especially the cot ton. The beating ‘rains and cool nights gave to both cotton and corn a drooping and sickly appearance. There is n<*doubt but that the cotton - lias been fJwously injured by the wet and cool weither. Many a farmer has plowed up nis first planting and re- Slauted, while others have plowed up le cotton aad planted corn. The Madison Home Journal says: Cotton at Twenty cents, yes, and more if there shallnot be in a very short time a suspension of the we t weather. We Lave never known our farmers so far be hind. ' Many of them complain of tbe seed rotting* and are compelled to re plant, while she season for planting is i jhout over. One more week of such weather will prove to be ntter ruin to manv as to their crops. As we write the bright sun cheerily shines upon us. Southern Baptist Convention. Jefferson, Texas, May 9. — -Rev. Jas. P. Boyce, of Louisville, is President of tlie Baptist Convent on. Drs. Burrows, of Richmond; Jcues, of Nashville; Crane, of 7ex>is, ani Devote, of Georgia, are Yice-Preeideuts. There are three hundred delegates in attendance. THE FLOODS. Memphis, May B. —The following ex tracts from letters will afford some idea of the suffering and destitution there and may serve as an appeal to the philanthropic throughout the land. Distress In Chicot. A well known planter, writing from Bernard, Chicot county, Arkansas, says: “There is needed in this section rations for 1,000 people and forage for their stock. Their lands are under water aud the destitution here will be very great. Nearly every one is overflowed in this district, having lost their stock and hav ing nothing left to aid them in pur chasing necessary rations. These per sons all require help until they can raise corn. Help ns all you can. Our peo ple are truly suffering and unless we get aid to make at least some corn this por tion of the country will be abandoned by fully one-half of the laborers.” Arkansas City. A petition from three hnndred and fifty colored laborers of Arkansas City and vicinity has been forwarded by J. W. Dickinson, formerly a cotton factor here, which says : “The undersigned, colored people of Arkansas City and the neighboring plantations, would respect fully state that we are in a desperate condition, ODly a few of us having a few days’ rations, and they have been furnished by the owners of tlie planta tions, who now have not enough left for their own families. The water stands as high as four feet above the floors of many of our houses.— Some of us have had to, move out. There is nothing but starvation and death for many of us nnless good peo ple will aid us, and that soon.” Dick inson, in forwarding tlie petition, says: “It does not make the condition of the people as bad as it really is. Some of these families are on'iny place, and I have been feeding them for four months, during three of which they have been cooped up in their houses on platforms three feet above their floors. Ican’t feed them any longer, but hope something will be done for these poor negroes. They will suffer soon. Some of them have not enough left for their own families, and others are living on hominy alone or parched corn.” Mississippi and Arkansas. On the other side of the river from wliere these letters are written there is considerable destitution, but Governor Ames and other State officials are taking steps to relieve them. In Arkansas, owing to the troubled condition of af fairs at the capita], nothing is being done for them, and they are entirely de pendent on the charities of the citizens of other States. The Relief Committee is doing good work, but can relieve only a small portion of triie inundated dis trict. At Hopefield, opposite here, which has been submerged for nearly two months, there is considerable distress, but it is being relieved. THE WAR IN ARKANSAS. Latest Facts and Rumors. Nnw York, May B. \ spocial dis patch from Little Rock says a colored mau belonging to Savage’s command at New Gascony stated here yesterday that Whitehead declared he would take no more Brooks men prisoners, but would slaughter them wherever he found them assembling. A Post Office Agent Caged. Gen. Edgerton, special agent of the Post Office Department, was arrested last night, while driving out, by Blocker, Baxter’s Military Governor. He was confined in the guard house for a short time. Picket Firing. A Baxter man stationed on tho bank of the river, about 9 o’clock this morn ing, fired at one of Brooks’ pickets standing opposite, neax the State House. The ball lodged just above his head in a tree. Subsequently the Baxter m:?a commenced firing on Brooks’ pickets which were posted on the river side, continuing all day. The former would rush but from an old stable on the bank inside their lines, fire aud run back to reload. Brooks’ pickets are not allowed to return the fire, as regulars are station ed between tliq contending forces at the State House. Warlike Preparations. Earthworks are being thrown up so as to strengthen the barricades, and fortifi cations are under way across the street from the State House in vacant lots. Pickets are now posted on opposite side walks. The men are being drilled in defense of the barricades, loading aud firing. All the windows in the State House are barricaded and loop-holed. Brooks’ Little Game. Little Rock, May B.— Tlie Supreme Court has issued a mandamus, order ing the Treasurer to pay Brooks’ requi sition. Tiiis is regarded as a move for the full recognition of Brooks. It is apprehended that the members of the Legislature will bo detaiued by various defices, so as to defeat a quorum. Brooks’ Side Speaks. St. Louis, May B. —A Globe special from Little Rock says that both sides of the Governorship controversy will bo heavily reinforced on Saturday and Sun day, and a collision between the con testants may be expected. Lieutenant Colonel Fowler, with 160 stand of arms, taken from the Industrial University on the Ist inst., and about 200 men, are expected to arrive to reinforce Brooks to-night. It is quite probable that Bax ter will claim the Legislature next Mon day, though well informed persons say that not one-fourth of the members will bo present. It is also not improbable that incidental to tho confusion next week telegraphic communication may be interrupted or a Baxter censorship established unless the President recog nizes Brooks. Under decision of the Supreme Court, prominent Baxter men admit that Baxter has no further right to press his clnim. The General Conference—Biographi cal Sketches of the Eight Bishops. [From the Louisville Courier, May 1] The Geueral Conference which con venes in Liberty Hall this morning will be presided over alternately by eight Bishops. As these are well known, it will not be necessary to give more than a very slight sketch of each. The Rev. Robert Paine is the senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. He is about as old as the century, and has been a pesiding Bishop since 1846. His form and general appearance have not yielded as much to the influence of age as might be expected from his protract ed and incessant labors. His keen black eye lias lost but little of its youthful fire, and his step is still firm. His executive talent is of the highest order. His mag nanimity is such as to place him almost beyond the shafts of envy. His culture is liberal; his reading extensive. In preaching, when he rises to the “height of his great argument,” his ascent is such as to equal the highest aspiration of human genius. Bishop George F. Pierce belougs to a preaching family.— He is a son of the venerable Dr. Lovic Pierce, and is in his sixty-third year. He is therefore in the prime of life, and we may expect from him many years’ service to the church. He has been a Bishop just twenty years. He is a great preacher, a good platform speaker, and an excellent presiding officer. Bishop Kavanaugh is about ten years older than Bishop Pierce, and has been ou the Episcopal bench just the same length of time. He is a genial gentleman, a sweet-spirited Christian, and an able minister of the New Testa ment. As Louisville is his home, he is too well known here to require au ex tended biographical sketch at our hands. Bishop Wightman is a native of South Carolina, and is about sixty-five years old. He is an elegant writer and au ac complished scholar. He preaches with great energy, both of thought and feel ing. He oiten overwhelms a congrega tion by an oratory at once graceful, earn est, original and impassioned. He pre sides with dignity anil impartiality. Bishop David S. Doggettt is a Vir ginian. He is a refined and dignified Christian gentleman; a scholar of excel lent attainments, a preacher of rare merit. He understands parliamentary rules and knows well how to apply them. Bishop Enoch Marvin is a Western man. With many he is the greatest possible favorite. His mind is meta physical in its natural turn and in its researches. He is probably the great est metaphysical preacher in the Con vention ; and this is saying a good deal, and yet- not too much, for it is not often that a profound metaphysician can awaken and keep up the interest of a promiscuous congregation—his subjects abstract to evoke the sympathies of his audience. It is marvelously the opposite with Bishop Marvin. The common people hear him gladly, and listen with great pleasure to his discus sions. Bi hop Holland N. McTyeire was bom to rule. His person is command ing, his will strong and his self-reliance thorough. He knows the law, and he abides by it ; he is solid as granite, and firm as solid ; he is reticent altoost to a fault, and his very reticence causes him to be misunderstood. He is a fast and true friend, and possesses, under a com paratively cold exterior, a heart glowing with warmth, throbbing with love to afl his race. As he is alow of speech he has to be heard often in the pulpit to be fully appreciated. He is about fifty nine years old, and has been Bishop eight years. Bishop John C. keener is a native of Baltimore, Md. He is a graduate of the Wesleyan University of Middleton, Conn., and was, we believe, a classmate of Dr. W. H. Anderson, of this city. He is an original and profound thinker, and often startles you by the presenta tion of a subject in aii entirely new light. He is quick in his perception of truth, accurate and just in his Judg ment of character, and broad in his views of all the great enterprises of the church. His preaching is full of good sense, and often abounds with the rich est and most beautiful illustrations of divine truth, so as to present the very marrow of the Gospel. Since the last General Conference, Bishops Andrews aud Early have died’ ami we suppose that this' Conference will elect two others in order to meet the growing wants of this numerous and powerful denomination. Resolved bit the General Council of the city of Louisvilte, That in accord ance with the reeommedation in the message of his Honor the Mayor of this date, calling the attention of the Gen eral Council to the fact that there will assemble in our city one of the largest, most influential, and intelligent bodies of men that have honored Louisville with their presence—ministers of the gospel, statesmen, lawyers, doctors, merchants, etc.—the freedom of the citv is heartily granted to the members of said assembly, and that his Honor the Mayor be required to communicate the same to that body.

IT 18 A SUBJECT OF GENERAL REMARK, among both wholesa e and retail druggists, that no medicine introduced to the American public lias ever gained such a popularity and met with so largo a sale in all parts of the land, in the same length of time, as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This can not depend upon its having been more largely advertised than any other medicine, as such is not the case. The correct explanation, we think, is found in the fact that this medicine produces the most wonderful and perfect cures of very bad rase- of bronchial, throat and lung diseases, is undoubtedly the most perfect aud efficient remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever been introduced to the public, and at the same time possesses the greatest of blood-purifying and strengthening properties that medical science has been able to produce, thus rendering it a sovereign remedy, not only in tho cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness aud Coughs, but also for all dis eases of the liver and blood, as scrofulous dis eases, blotches, rough skin, pimples, black specks and discolorations. It has therefore a wide range of application and usefulness, and it not only gives the most perfect satisfaction to all who uso it, hut far exceeds the expecta tions of the most sanguine, thus eliciting the loudest praise, and making permanent living advertising mediums of all who use it. For these reasons it is that there is not perhaps a druggist in all the vast domain of this Conti nent, who tries to please liis customers and supply their wants, that does not keep and sell large quantities of this most valuable medi cine.

The general business of the week has been fair. The feeling in leading articles was more active, especially in Bacon and Grain, where it was accompanied with an advance in rates. The continued rains have given rise to appre hension of light crops, which will, no doubt, cause a still further advance in breadstuffs. Bacon—The market is strong, in sympathy with the West, and the stock in our market is light with holders firm, and the indications are good for a fur,lier advance. Grain—Wheat con tinues dull with but little demand, as our mill ers have ceased to purchase on account of tho low prices of Western Flour, caused by the freights from the West being lower in propor tion on flour than on Wheat. Corn active and the mar,,et excited. There has been an advance during tho week of fully Sc. per bushel, and the probabilities are that it will go still higher, as advices from the West indueo the belief that a scarcity of the article exist there. The stock in their market is light and holders are iirm. Oats—The stock is very light, with a good de mand for feeding purposes; prices are stiff and will probably go higher before the new crop comes in. I lour remains inactive, with prices about the same as heretofore—demand mode rate and stock fair. Peas,with abetter demand, prices have advanced fullv 25c. per bushel within the past week, with very little in the market. Hay is rather dull with a fair supply on hand.

The ootton market has taken a sharp up ward turn, and values are sc. higher than at this time last week. The improvement is due to the rapid falling off in receipts and reduc tions of stocks throughout all sections. There has been uo special demand to speak of and at any other time of the year the market would b« considered extremely dull. Speculators have been rather timid about operating, as es timates made during the early part of the year are largely in excess of the production, and the amount of three milhou and three quar tern appears to have more supporters than heretofore, and judging from the recent fill ing off in receipts it would appear that this is about the closest estimate in dealings for fu ture delivery. There was very little doing un til the closing days of the week, when the de iitaud became quite brisk and prices steadily improved. The total sales of the week were 106.138 bales, of which 100,900 were in ooutract and 5,238 for immediate delivery, of which 810 were for export; 39,069 for spinning, and 469 for speculation. Naval stores have been un settled and dull, at decidedly lower prices. Mobile, May 9, p. in. —Cotton firm and higher—Middling, 17; Low Middling, 16$; Good Ordinary, 15$; net receipts, 58; sales, 500.
