Gen. Toombs says in his letter that he
Sled his bill to recurs the rights of the

to bring all suits for the benefit of the
Stats, and Gov. Smith will no doubt tell
you if you ask him that General Toombs
ngaagtel his consent to bring, this^uit in
the name of ttffe State, and tbs Governor
informed him that he had hi* own lew
officer whom he oanld cell on whenever
he desired.
Reporter—1 suppose Gan: Toombs felt
satisfisd of one thing, that the property
wither belonged to Hr. Stephens or the
State of Georgia; that neither of these
parties had over heel toeaofltted a dollar,
that as the Governor had refused to allow
him to hriog-th* estien in tha name of
the State he wonid bring it in tho name
of hta old friend, A. H. Stephens, end if
he recovered the money Stephens conld do
with the money as he had originally in
tended to do with the share. It wee very
plain that as the matter now stands Ur.
Stephens' original pnrpoae had not been
oerried out, because George Haslehurst
wee reoeivieu tkawmoluideata from that
which he had intended to convey to the
State of Georgia.
I have been to see General Toombn,
and ha is very positive that he sod Mr.
Stephens had frequent end full disons-
eione of this toil; end it was as well un
stood as it possibly oonld be that he
should bring it. But he says even if he
bed need Ur. Stephens' name without hie
knowledge, authority or consent, be
thought that an uninterrupted friendship
of firty .jiaeM shamd hive nude Mr.
Stephme wrfte to him and ask him by
whet authority, and for what purpose, he
bad need bis name, end at least weited to
hear from him before sending for news,
paper correspondents end telegraphing nil
over the lend his pnblio disavowal. But
what aeema to wound Gen. Toombs more
then anything else is this: “Mr. Stephens
informs “Spooks,” with the foil knowl-
edge that “Specks" wee a special news

General says, why refer to this, nnless it

saying I have written and can't get any

painfnl necessity of e pnblio exposure.

Chicago Journal, July 1.1
Ur. Adolph Vieser, who resides In the

premises several fine large cherry trees.
Two of pe largest and bast of these trees
stood at ono and of the garden, veiy near
to a high board fenoe. Both of them
ware very thrifty, were covered with
green leaven, end bore e bonntifnl crop
of oberries, whioh were nearly ripe.
About tbrea o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Ur. Vieser was Blending for e moment
near those trees, when suddenly he heard
a strange noise, as if aensed by ths split-
ting of .wood or berk above hie head.
Looking upward, ba witnessed the most
astonishing freak of nature he had ever
met with.
Tha bark covering those trees began to
peel off at the tope, onrling downward
along tha trank and limbs nntil it reached
the ground, end leaving the trees as na
ked end barren ae though they bed been
riven by tbe lightning's bolt. Berks end
leaves end cherries were all stripped off,
end laid e promiscuous mess of ruins on

Is the only thoroughly independent paper South. It believes
we are to win; not by complaining Shout the past, but
working for the future. While it girefc proper space and
notice to all political matters of State and National impor
tance, it aims to call the attention of emigrants and capital
ists to our great resources and t» build up the South on a
basis that has for its foundation Industry and economy.
While disclaiming to be the organ of any creed, party or
society, all its tendencies will be in favor of TEMPER-
ANCEj MORALITY and RELIGION. Being deeply
interested in the success of the farmer*, and having implicit
faith in . the grand destiny of the GRANGES, the EN
QUIRER-SUN will devote a large space, under a capable
editor, to AGRICULTURE, and in chronicling the move
ments of the Pattons or Husbandry.
THE DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN
Will contain all the latest National, State, Loeal and For
eign news, devoting much space to Alabama interests. Its
editorial management will be fearless for right, Snd while
recording passing events it will not neglect the arts, sci

THE WEEKLY ENQUIRER
Will give weekly a digest of all Foreign and Nation A
news. It will devote much space to Southern intelligei ■ o
and will contain original articles on Agriculture,the Grant < *
and other matters that will be of incalculable benefit to the
planter and general reader.
The SUNDAY ENQUIRER-SUN
While giving the latest news, aims to become what is
much needed, viz.:
A GREAT SOUTHERN LITERARY WEEKLY!
It will contain original articles, stories and sketches, his
torical and biographical, from Southern pens. Each issue
will contain in addition poetry, scientific notes, domestic
recipes, fashion and household affairs, wit and humor; no
tices of late books and periodicals, religious reading, church
