The Assassination of Gen Grimes. X m. * Particulars of the Tragedy. A dispatch to the Raleigh Obser¬ ver from Washington, N. C\, gives the following particulars of the assassination of Gen. Bryan Grimes, nar that place, last Saturday even¬ ing: “Gin, Grimes left here about, 0 o’clock Saturday evening for his home, which is nine miles distant. He had been in town all day witness¬ ing the Convention proceeding. lie wan driving two horaea to a top bog¬ gy, and had with him when allot little Bryan Satterthwaitc, a lad of 12 years, son of T. H. Sattertli waite. Little Bryaq says that the General wm sitting an the left side of the buggy, and just as they were emerg¬ ing from Bear Creek, which is about five miles from here he heard a gun fire, and Gen. Grimes immediately dropped l the reins, saying: ‘Bryan, am shot.’ The boy said: Are y oil much hurt General?’ Gen; Grimes replied: ‘Yes, it will kill me, and began to sink dowu until he had sunk entirely down into the foot of the buggy. Little Bry an drove the horses on until he had reached the top of the hill, nearly on which lives a man named Carrow. He called Carrow to him and asked him to help him get the GeneralV legs in the baggy. The boy then drove on to the residence of Col. J. B. Stickney, which is about two miles from Car row’s, and from there the body was oanjad to General Grimes’s home. Upon onTy examination it was found that one buckshot had entered Gen. Grimes’s left arm, and had passed through the arm into the breast, severing the large artery and lodgiug in one of his lungs. No outside bleeding was perceptible; it war all internal, and death ensued i« about two-minutes after the shoot ing. “The place where the shooting oc¬ curred is swampy, the water being about a foot deep. The road is nar¬ row, with a dense undergrowth Oil c*eh fide. Jfo fitter pface for such hellish work could possibly have been selected. It was discovered the next morning (Sunday) that the assassin bad cut himself a trail through the ttddergrowth to two large cypress trees about twenty steps from the place where he expected his victim to pass. Here he waited, and as the General’s vehicle reached the point desired he fired. About ten or a dozen shot struck the ribs of the buggy top. After the shooting the murderer, after wading 200 \» d* down the swamp, through the water, so as to conceal his tracks, went out upon the high land and made his escape. At the point where he came out of tb« water a small track, which was tytpingiy made by a d gai ter or boot, was discovered. No glue to murderer has yet been ®lj£ ♦ 4 # *. “ SCIENCE AND RELIGION; THE GUARDIANS OF LIBERTY:' WRIGHTSVILLE, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1880. found, although suspicion rests upon several parties.” General Grimes entered the Con¬ federate army as the Major of a North Carolina regiment, and rose of successive grades to that of Major General and it is said his division made the last charge before the sur¬ render at Appomattox. He was very highly esteemed by General Lee. SPEECHLESS FOR FIFTEEN Years. Strange Restoration of Reason an<l Memory After a Prolonged Illness. In a plain but neat little story-and a-balf white bouse. No. 149 Town¬ send street, Syracuse,N. Y., lives a German girl named Amelia Hosch, who passed her twenty-sixth birth¬ day on the loth of January last. The greater part of her life—fuly fifteen years—-has been a blank. In her childhood Amelia was consider¬ ed an unusually bright girl. Site early learned to read and write both English and German, and could play tine piano with considerable skill. When between ten and eleven years of age she was attacked with fever and ague. This soon devloped into hysterical fits, and in a few weeks the girl lost her reason. Iler power of speech left her, and her limbs re¬ fused to support her. She Iwcame a helpless imbecile, and did not leave her bed except when lifted from it. From four to eight ti mox anight and from two to six times a day she was seized with the violent paroxysms. Many times it was thought that she was drawing her last breath. Medi¬ cines of every kind were tried, but without effort. In J latch, 1879, Dr. A. If. Tankie visited the girl and made a diagnosis of her ease. He combined a preparation of his own with one obtained from a professor in Columbia College, New York. The second night after Amelia began preparation she slept all night, some¬ thing site had not done before in fifteen years. She began to increase in flesh, and in June uttered the first words that she had spoken since she was first attacked. Gradually her power of speech returned, and with it her memory. The period of her mental slumber is a blank, and she is more of a child than a woman, ex¬ cept in years. She tells of what she saw in her childhood and sings the songs that she used to sing in her Sunday school. Although she has received no instruction since her recovery, she can read, write, figure, and do everything that she did be¬ fore she lost her reason. When asked about her illness she looks at the questioner in a wondering way— she knows nothing about it. She tfoW weighs about one hundred and forty potynls—nearly twice as much at* she did before she began taking the preparation. She is a strong, healthy- looking young woman. She articulates rather slowly, hut replies are prompt and correct. While talking with a correspondent she said: “I know everything I used to know.” She likes to talk, and em¬ braces every opportunity to converse that is offered. The case excites the wonder of physicians, ami a great many have called to see the girl. It will be remembered that the citizen who, in face of the notorious facts connected with the Credit and DeGolyer pavement transactions, votes for James A. Garfield as President of the United Stater, thereby approves of the sys¬ tem of abusing grave public trusts and corruptly misappropriating the public moneys of the country, upon which the entire system of official thieving rests. Let no man who votes for James A. Garfield ever complain of the robbery of rings— municipal, State, or National—be¬ cause by sucli a vote ho deliberately ‘Sanctions the worst, practices of the worst denpoilers.— Forney's Progress Ind. R>.p, The death of Hcrschel V. John¬ son, of Georgia, leaves Senator Hamlin and ex-Senator Lane as the only surviving representatives of the presidential tickets of 1860. Lincoln, Douglas, Breckenridge, Bell and Everett have all passed away, some of them dying before the close or the war which followed the ccnvass in which they were engaged. Senator Hamlin is still active in political work. Mr. Lane is a resident of the far west, and his name was mention¬ ed in connection with the United States senatorsliip from Oregon a year ago. JoknC.
