The New York Worid saya. “If we are really
to lose Mullett we can try to forgive him the
mischief he has done, and even read hie re
port of how great that, mischief is with some
complacency in the reaeonable hope that this
report is hie last.”
The Catholic Union of Ireland hie pawed a
resolution repudiating the assertion that the
civil allegiance of Catholics has bean injuri
ously affected by the decrees of the Vatican
Council, and further declaring that, while
holding themselves bound in complete otiedi
enoe to the decrees of the Infallible Council,
they yet yield in no degree to any of her
Majeety'a snSjccts in the duty and perform
ance of civil allegiance. Cardinal Cullen waa
present.
The financial result of the great #25,000 race
in Ban Francisco, like those of the great race
between the trotting stallions, will encourage
future ventures. The entrance money, ten per
cent., amounted to #19,000, and the gate
money and reserved seats carried the receipt
up to #59 400. The expenses were about #B,OOO,
so that after paying the puree and ex
penses ths speculation netted a profit of
#26,400.
The balance of trade seems to be a little

If the prooese of weeding oat goes on at this
rate for a little while, the country will soon be
rid of a vast amount of rubl-idt, and much
struggling genius will have that repose and
quiet which it cannot find on an editorial
tripod.
A good many sensible Northern people have
imbibed the idea that Winter vacations in the
Booth have advantages over the popular Sum
mer eojoum in the crowded fash on resorts of
the North, so it is not to be wondered at that
t ie Florida resorts are filling np with Winter
visitors from the North, and that the prospect
is good for a profitable season. It would be
strange if within a few years the time of vaca
tion should be changed from Hummer to Win
ter, and the fashion resorts of Northern people
be loca'ed in the Southern States.
A Hants ltosa, Cal., paper tells a story which
shows that a chance dog has more soul than
some men. The dog, an intelligent pointer,
was traveling on a railroad train with hii mas
ter. When the train arrived at Santa Ilona
Edward Bcanlan was not aboard, hut his dog
sas and appeared to be in great distress. Af.
ter tbs train had gone on he lay down on the
track and whined, and ran up the trkkk as if he
were chasing a phantom, and returned and
whined and pawed the feet of several people
piteously. At last a man resolved vo put him
seif under the guidance and direction of the
dog, ano followed him three miles up the road,
tiers the body of Edward Bcanlan was found,
out almost in two. It was put in a box and the
dog mounted the box, and so rode home. The
account further states that since the funeral
the dog seems heart-broken and utteily re
fuses food.
The Brooklyn Argue’ obituary of Hare
meycr: “The life which gave to the municipal
administration in New York its greatest vigor
and variety went out yesterday like a flash. The
honest old Dutchman passed to his account
upon the very threshold pf a deed of mercy-
In his public capacity, as rugged as a granite
bowlder; of a character that seemed laced
with sinews of steel, ho loved to stir up the
elemeuts around h im, and rock upon their bil
lows like a stormy petrel. Asa man with a
faculty for turning friends into censors and
ripening ; eumi ty to aotivo hatred, he had no
peer. Asa posa essor of all the domestic excel
lencies of bead and heart bis title is unim
peach od. Death smote him in the harness, and
he fell where it were an honor to die. The
memory of his virtues lives—the memory of
his faults lios with him. A'e Jupiter quidem
omnibue placet.”
In the north part of Bedford, Mass., lives a
German, a very worthy, industrious farmer,
who lias a family of children, and is giving
them a good common school education. On
Tuesday last his fourteen-year-old son had the
misfortune to break a square of glass in the
school house, and was told by the teacher that
he must bring the money to pay for it. The
boy. being of a sensitive temperament, shrunk
from asking his father for the money, and to
add still more to his troubles he set fire to
some grass and weeds, for which his father
had promised him a flogging. On Wednesday
he went to the school without the money, and
the teacher told him if he oame again without
it Thursday morning she would punish him se
verely. The little fellow returned home, fin
ished up all his chores, which employed him
until after dark, theu took a rope, olimbed np
into an apple tree snd hanged himse'f. When
found be was dead.
England isn't a good place to live by the
river and fish. “Streams which in the memo
ry of men now living were comparatively pure
and well stooked with fish, are now black and
stinking. The laud through which such pol
luted streams flow is ruined for residential
purposes, and is injured and reduced in value
even for mill purposes. The water is so bad as
to be considered unfit for manufacturing.uses,
and other sites are selected where water can
be obtained from canal ■, or by sinking wells
and boring. In many instances cattle will not
drink the local river water, and farms are de
preciated in consequence. Large country
bouses which formerly, with their river front
age, rights of fishing and ornamental gardens
and pleasure grounds, were valued as resi
deuoes, have been abandoned or are let merely
at farming rents and for farm purposes.”
A story of a oorpss that caused a sensation
in graveyard now comes from Montreal. Ac
cording to the aooount a lady was supposed to
have died. In due time the oorpse became the
objeot of funeral obsequies. The long pro
cession moved to tho church yard, where it was
met by an ol 1 ami dear friend of the deceased.
At his request the cofflu lid was unscrewed that
he might look a last farewell, when the corpso
was discovered to be lying on its side, the
head twisted round facing up, tlia grave
clothes disarranged, while the left arm was
drawn up to support the body, as if the unfor
tunate woman had been leaning on it in the
terrible struggle for breath. As tho hearse
had not been upset the supposition was that
the lady had beeu lying in a trance and was
wakened up hy tho jolting of the dead carriage
on the way to the oemetery It is certain she
was quite dead then, and the funqral ceremo
nies went on. The incident has weakenod tho
opposition oremationuts are encountering in
Montreal.
Sheriff Philkrook, of Triuity county, Cali
fornia, and auothor white passenger, and tour
Chinamen, and the stage driver, suffered the
Shasta stage to be robbed of #2.300 by two
highwaymen, who from their nervousness ap
peared to he amateurs. The robbers were
nearly as badly frightened as the robbod. They
came ont of the hushes, masked, and stopped
the stage, asking the driver for Wells, Fargo
A Co’a box. The driver handed them one
box and theu they asked for another. They j
therefore knew there were two money pack- ;
ages. While negotiations were pending the
sheriff poked his head out of the window and
looked inquiringly at tfca robbers. They told
him not to be alarmed, as thoy wanted only
Wells and Fargo's woalth. The sheriff said
“all right,” and was an amused spectator of
the robbery. The robbers were gentlemanly
fellows. They kept their word and did not molest
the passive passengers. Now that same sheriff
with several mounted men at his hack is hunt
ing those same robbers, but he will not be able
to find them. He oould not very well repay
their kindness by catching them.
The Inspeotor-General of the Army says in
his annual report that a regulation is mueh
naeded inflicting some punishment on soldiers
who marry without proper permission. Military
posts are sometimes overrun with tho wives of
enlisted men. It is frequently tho case tha*
company commanders do not know the number
ef married men in their companies. These
women manage to get shanties to live in, to
have fuel, to eat, and in case the company
changes its situation, to obtain transportation
for themselves and their effects, and. in the
majority of cases, the lumber for the construc
tion of the shanties. The fuel, rations, the
transportation. Ae.. are made in some way out
of the Government. Ia is well known that it
requires about as much transportation to
move four Undresses aa it does to move a
whole company of men. In the opinion of the
Inspector-General laundresses can be dis
pensed with in the army just as well as not A
mu can be detailed on daily duty to do tha
washing of the oompany with the same facility
as a laundress, and the results would be equal
ly satisfactory.
Baltimore is peculiar. Its steady and uni
form growth has led to a very general system
of leasing land for ’•ninety-nine jears, renew
able forever,” at an annual ground rent of six
per cent, on its market value at the date of the
lease. For example, a common laborer or me
chanic, who can command money 01 ough to
build a house, instead of buying a lot upon
which to build, let tea it. If the lot be worth
one thousand dollars, he pays annually for
ever a ground rent of sixty dollars. If he
bniids a house that oosto one thousand dollars,
as money in Baltimore is six per cent,, this
makes his house rent practically cost him only
one hundred and twenty dollars a year. This
If. in effect to loan him forever the value of
pie lot at six per cent. |t the lot increases ia
Value he has the ’benefit' of it,'since, if he
wishes to sell, he disposes of his house at its
market value, and the ground lease at its en
hanced price. This encourages men of small
tneans to lire in their own houses. Asa con
sequence there are no tenement houses; ac
tual rents are comparatively unknown, and a
larger proportion cf the people own their own
houses than, perhaps, in any other city in the
world. This secures a staid, thrifty popula
tion, and, with a mild climate, cheap fnei,
cheap food, and cheap clothing, gives Balti
more a great advantage aa a manufacturing
tity.

Meeting of Directors. —The regular
bi-montlily meeting of the Directors of
the Georgia Railroad was held at the
bank of the company, in this city, yes
terday. After some disoussion it was
decided not to declare a dividend in
in January, as usual. This actiou is un
derstood to arise from a variety of
causes. In the first place, the panic last
Winter largely reduced the business of
tho road for some months. The low
rates of freight tariffs adopted by other
roads, necessitating a corresponding
reduction ou the part of tho Georgia
Railroad, materially diminished the in
come of the road. A third course has
been the necessity of paying the interest
on bonds of other roads, endorsed by
the Georgia Railroad. Whatever may
have been the causes, however, the non
payment of the customary dividend will
be a great hardship to many persons who
own stock in the road.
Mr. C. G. Goodrich was elected book
keeper at the bank, vice 0. H. Ballard,
who was elected at the previous bi
monthly meeting, but declined to accept
the position.
An Augusta Invention. We saw
yesterday an invention by an Augnsta
mechauie which fills an important want,
and should make the fortune of the in
ventor. Mr. Geo. P. Weigle has ap
plied for a patent for anew ladder. It
is built in sections of ten feet in length,
which can be attached with but little
trouble, making a firmly constructed
ladder of any length desired. The first
section can be used as a step ladder, the
whole makes an invaluable auxiliary for
hook aud ladder companies, and will
prove of great assistance to paintqp and
mechanics. The invention reflects great
credit npon Mr. Weigle and the me
chanics of Augusta.
Election of Officers.— At a recent
meeting of Louisville (Jefferson county)
Grange, the followiugofficecs were ulect
eh for the ensuing year : J. G. Jord an,

The adventure of an intelligent sports
man of California is thus recorded:
“Billy Barker found almost constant
pastime iu hunting and smoking. These
two diversions seemed to be compatible,
and, with a pipe in his month and a gun
on liis shoulder, he wow out many pairs
of boots tramping through the woods.
It has been meriioned that hunting and
smoking seemed compatible, but Mr.
Barker is now otherwise convinced.
Seeing a bird on a high branch, with its
moving wings denoting an immediate
intention of flying away, he hastily took
aim. The tobacco smoke obscured pjt
sight, and he stuok the pipe in Ms
pocket, v?hefe his powder flask was.
IJpnr things went off in the order men
tioned—the gun, the flask, the most of
Mr. Barker’s leg, and the bird.”
Atlanta, Deoember U.— The Post

claims that he owed the Post Office De
partment nothing at the time of his
arrest, and that his vouchers show his

SURRENDER OF MILLEDGE VILLE.
General Kilpatrick’s Story of Its Oc
cupation by Sherman's Bummers Re
futed.
(Omaha Herald, November 26.]
People who wpre present at the Acade
my of Mosio on Monday night will re
member the statement made by Gen.
Kilpatrick that Milledgevilie was cap
tured by bummers, and his very amus
ing account of the.surrender of the
place. It is oar daty to dispel this
pleasing dream. Gen. Kilpatrick was
nowhere near Milledgevile when it sur
rendered, and he is in error as to the
facts. A Herald reporter yesterday
called on Judge R. H. Wilbur, and
found on his desk two interesting pa
pers, bearing dates in the war period,
and their ia not the least donbt as to
their genuineness. Their history is con
tamed in the following narrative of
Judge Wilbur, which was given in an
swer to inquiries, and taken “by a
special artist ou the spot;”
“I was a staff officer for Gen. Geary,
and also for Gen. Slocum, who com
manded Sherman|s left wing. We were
marching in Georgia one morniDg, and
had got to within seven or eight miles
of Milledgevilie. I said to Glen. Geary,
‘Some of ns boys would like to go
ahead and "xeeonnoiter the town.’ He
said, ‘All right,’ and I took ten or a
dozen men ont of the escort. We gal
loped on ahead and soon came np iu
sight of the fortifications. I noticed
that the works were very formidable,
and that right ahead of us in the
road was an earthwork with em
brasures for cannon.’ I happened
to be the ranking officer in the
party—l was a major at the time. We
rode ronnd the works and felt our way
carefully until we found there was no
soldiers in the works, and then we rode
through one of the embrasures and on
into the town. I saw a party coming
down the street with a white flag, when
I stopped and drew our men in line. At
the head of the party with the flag was
a little stout man who said his name was
De Graffe Reid, the Mayor of Milledge
vilie. *He said he had come to surren
der the city and to claim protection for
non-combatants and private property.
He addressed me as ‘General,’ and
thought he was talking to General Slier--
man. I heard his story, and told him I
was not a general, but that I would bring
General Slocum up. General Shermur
was a hundred miles from there. I rode
back to General Slocum, and he said,
‘ Were in the devil have you been ?’ I
said, ‘We huve been into Milledgevilie,
and the Mayor and Council want to sur
render to you.’ We started back on a
gallop, and I introduced the Mayor to
Slocum.
“The Capitol building is the mo3t con
spicuous building in the city. It stands
on a hill and appears much as our high
school does here. We went up there,
and on the way asked some of the cit
izens if the Legislature was 'in session.
They said it had adjourned the night be
fore. The members had gone; some of
them had paid a high price to be carried
out of town, as they thought that if
they were caught by Sherman’s men
they would be hung.
“ We found the legislative halls just
as they had been left in the hurry. Ev
erything looked as if the members had
gone to dinner. I went to the desk of
the presiding officer of the Senate and
found this paper lying on it. It is the
draft resolution of adjournment ;
“ ‘Resolution relative to adjourn
ment.
“ ‘Heaolved, That both branches of
the General Assembly do adjourn at 2,
p. m., this day, subject to call of his
Excellency the Goiernor as to time and
place.’
“That was the last act of the last
rebel Legislature of Georgia. On the
back of the paper appears the following:
“ ‘ln House adopted November 18,
1864. “ ‘L. Carrington,
“ ‘Clerk House Rep.’
“ ‘ln Senate received and concurred in
November 21,1864.
S. H. Kenan, Se’cy of State. ’
“I found on a member’s desk the fol
lowing:
“ ‘A resolution in relation to the inva
sion of this State.’
“That is all. The resolution that was
to follow was never written. The in
vaders were there. What he would have
written is lost to the world. ”
Judge Wilbur said that he did not
wish to be placed in antagonism to Gen.
Kilpatrick, but ho agreed that it was
proper that the correction should be
made.
At Virgil’s Tomb.
[Charles Warren Stoddard’s Naples Letter.]
The chief novelty of Naples is the
Grotto of Pasilipo, and at the mouth of
this grotto is the tomb of Virgil, The
carriage drew up at a small door in the
solid rock—out of which the grotto is
hewn. A ring at this door summoned a
grimy fellow from a blacksmith shop,
also newn out of the rock—the shop, not
the man. I entered and found a long
flight of steps that led into a vineyard
full of grapes and sunshine—a lovely
spot. A narrow path wound through
the Eden, and the grape harvesters,
brown, stalwart fellows, directed me
from time to time, so that after many
turns, that brought me deeper into the
dense green grapery, 1 came at last to a
rock overhanging the mouth of the
grotto, and here I entered an ancient
columbarium entirely overgrown with
grass. A temple on an island could not
be more completely separated from the
turmoil and traffic of the town. The
one chamber, about fifteen feet square,
held many vacant recesses, which proba
bly once contained cinerary urns, and iu
front of one of the unglazed windows
stood a marble slab erected to the memo
ry of the poet, and bearing a lengthy
epitaph, not quite so long, however, as
the iEueiad. It is not suprising that a
tomb, evea though it shelter the remains
of so distinguished a personage as Vir
gil, should have fallen to decay in the
course of nineteen centuries. Many
have doubted that his dust reposes
here ; yet Petrarch, with the poet’s easy
faith, planted a laurel on the roof of*the
columbarium, which flourished until its
vitals had been gashed by the knives of
those who make a practice of robbing
every shrine they visit. While -I stood
in that secluded spot, flooded with
green and amber light that sifted
through the vine-screen at the windows,
I thought of a long Gothic hall filled
with desks, and at every desk a young
head bowed over a well-thumbed and
puzzling text-book. The green and
amber light of the Summer’s afternoon
stole in there also, and through the
half-open windows was heard the chant
of Summer birds. There was a busy
sileuce in that last half hour of school,
and after it camo the hour of deliver
ance, the tramp of triumphant feet aud
the shout of joy into which entered all
the suppressed physical vitality of the
day. Then there was a sileuce deeper
than before, while the light faded from
green to brown and from amber to
gray. At the far end of the hall sat
him who was at once tutor and tormen
tor, under whose rule we grew apace,
but groaned the while we grew. Ah !
many an bour, when my heart was else
where, have my eyes sought the fasci
nating pages of him who sang of wars
and a hero in tongue that then seemed
to me a mistake. Through all these
centuries his enohanting verse has caus
ed the youthful heart to quicken and to
qtiake. The chant that came to us be
fore the gospels yet is still as fresh and
clear as the lark’s first song in Spring.
What have we not to thank thee for, oh
Virgil ! though for thy sake we have
lost many a half-holiday, and borne
the taskmaster’s retributive stripes. I
did not imagine, in those troublous
days, thqt the time would oome when,
with uncovered head, I should enter the
masoleum where thy revered dust re
poses, and there, with a flood of tender
and half-regretful memories rushing
upon me, I should honestly say, iu the
fullness of my heart, “Oh, Virgil, I for
give you for having sung in Latin !”
A eahla dispatch from London states
that news has been received there of the
illness of Alexander 11, Czar of Russia,
aud adds that it is rumored that he is
insane. The latter event, though it
would seem unlikely jn view of the pro
gressive intelligence which has marked
the reign of this most liberal of Rus
sian Emperors, would not be very
strange. Besides the cares of an im
mense empire to oppress and often har
rass him, Alexander has the misfortnne to
possess a pedigree on both the paternal
and maternal sides tainted by insanity.
Though insanity was not positively de
veloped to any alarming extent in his
uncle, Alexander I, thafr Emperor was,
as is well known, a prey tc tha most
chimerical fears and suspicions, So that
in fact for a time his Government was
literally earned on by his ministers. On
the other side was his uncle, the insane
Frederick William IV, of Prussia. There
are, however, causes and influences in
such misfortunes more subtle than the'
subtlest taints that thread their way
through the labyrinths of family al
hancs> '

cannot be much doubt as to the response of
the malaria stricken to this inquiry. Prom
every locality on this continent whose inhabi

comes an increasing demand for the only gen

ague districts well know how utterly inadequate
to do more than give a brief respite are the so
called remedies of the faculty. Quinine, ar

that their sufferings may not only be relieved, bnt
that they may be restored to health and strength.

Weekly Review of Augusta Market.
Augusta, Ga., Friday After noox, i
December 11, 1874. (
Stocks, Bonds and Money.
The banks are now strictly confining the bulk
of their loans to first class paper. None of
these are rejected if the tune can bo agreed
upon. All others meet with more difficulty
than last week, or indeed since Fall business
commenced The volnme of currency afloat in
the community is large, and as a rule'time bills
are being met with clock-like punctuality. It
is insisted by tome that the people have ae
much money as ever known since the surren
der, but the transactions in mercantile lines
do not eh w that they are spending it near so
freely. The amount received for Cotton, and
the drain for foreign productions certainly
show a healthy balance in our favor. Thi
sales of Cotton for the week foot up 4622.375.
and for the season beginning September 1,
#5,699,720.
The failure of the Georgia Railroad to de
clare its usual dividend, and the decision of
the Supreme Court npon the question of the
legality of the Rome Bonds have been prolific
themes of comment in financial circ es. There
is but one opinion about the decision, and that
is that it was right and proper Avery large
per cent, of them were bought in Augusta,
without a doubt as to their legality or validity,
nor was this doubt raised until long after tile
sales. Had the Court rendered any other ver
dict it would have had a drpressing effect npon
Georgia municipal securities generally. But
as it is—-the law rendered that a town or city
cannot issue and sell bonds, get the money
and then turn around and repudiate them -
gives additional strength to these sort of invest
ments.
The reason given out that the Georgia Rail
road failed to declare a dividend is plainly that
it has near maturing bills to meet, which re
quire the greater portion of the earnings now
on hand.
There ia a moderate demand for City of Au
gusta and State of Georgia Securities. Trans
actions in all others are exceptional. We have
no alterations to make in Bond quotations,
and in Stocks make the following changes:
Georgia Railroad Stock has declined from
75)@76) to 74@75: South Western, from 79 to
77<®78: Atlanta and West Point from 70 to 65®
70 ; Merchants and Planters National Bank,
from 84 to fid, and Graniteville Factory Stock,
from 165 to 160, and the expression “and in
demand” is stricken from Augusta Factory.
Wi h these exceptions the last figures are re
mitted to the reaier, as wfll be found below.
The Course and Situation of Trade.
During the fore part of the week trade was
moderately active, hut we are now (Friday)
under the. to business, exhilerating influence
of the Christmas Holidays. And hence if the
more substantial Hues of merchandise and
subsistence are neglected, the lighter are fairly
active. In the South Christmas comes im
mediately after the sale of the Cotton crop,
and hence generally finds the people with
more or less money with which to enjoy it. We
can the more readily and cheerfully this year,
for we have been favored with an excellent
yield, good prices, and therefore have been
enabled in tho main to square up debts and
have something left besides.
liie stocks of Western Produce and heavy
Groceries in the city have been light, compara
tively speaking, but sufficient to meet the de
mand, with perhaps old White ComandSmoked
Meats excepted. The supply of Fancy and
General Groceries is satisfactory. Receipts of
Tennessee or Country Poultry. Butter. Eges,
4c., have been moderately heavy, but the de
mand has also been and is very active. The
sales. the next and succeeding week will no
doubt be far greater than has been realized so
far this season.
The Hog product opened weak and declining
on Saturday, but on Tuesday the d'ownward
tendency was arrested, and since that day the
market has remained very firm, though not
quotablv higher. We have had no reason to
make any material changes in the Grain, Hay
or Stock Feed market, report a' steady busi
ness, and submit the quotations below as the
ruling rates at the close this evening.
lobacco is rather dull but prices are steady;
the speculative fover having nearly cooled off.
Bagging remains the same, although sales are
heavy. There ia an ample stock and also of
Iron Ties.

THE AUGUSTA MARKETS.
Augusta, Deoember 12, 1874.
General Remarks.
The receipts of Cotton at all ports continue
very heavy to-day and almost every day several
thousand greater than the corresponding day
of laßt year. It is insisted on every hand that
when it does commence falling off it will go
down with a greater rapidity than ever known,
Prices continue lew and the market has a
downward The excessively heavy
receipts depresses the value. And another
thing cannot be denied, that the amount of
consumption of Cotton Goods ha greatly
fallen off in this quarter within the last three
or four months.
Trade To-Day.
For Saturday trade was very good, without
any material changes in prices. The sales of
Cotton amounted to $104,835.
The receipts of Provisions for table use con
tinue very good, and are now selling at easier
prices than known in several years Just -upon
the eye of Christmas.

WBEKLY COTTON REVIEW.
During the week the cotton market has ruled
weak, with very light business in spot. Unfa
vorable advices from Liverpool and quite an
increase in receipts caused dec’irie of }@}o.
during the early part of the week. Offerings
have been large, but there seems to be no
prospect of working off stock without making
further concessions. Buyers, on the other
hand, have been wholly indifferent. Prices
were again worked off an} cent to-dav. and it
is possible that even a further reduction will
be made unless some change takes place at
Liverpool early next week. In speculative
dealings there has been considerable doing
but the character of the transactions showed
that operators were closing up their dealings
in order to prevent further losses, or take in
profit on sales. Total sales of the week. 212,-
117 bales, of which 8.917 bales were for imme
diate delivery, and 203,200 'on speculative ac
count.
