Triumph of Surgery. - Home days
since, a negro from the country,
covered with tumors, was brought to
the attention of the Professor of the
Medical College. The man is about
40 years old, and his infirmity was
quite repulsive; the main tumor be
ing 25 inches long, 27 Inches in eir
cumferreuce and weighed 18 pounds.
This terrible companion was carried
in a bag, and supported from his
shoulder. Besides this large tumor,
the tnan had hundreds of others vary
ing in size from a pigeon’s to a cluck s
egg. There have been few eases re
ported in medical works of a similar
character, and this one was of equal
importance to any mentioned. As
the man was willing to undergo am
putation, the operation was perform
ed yesterday afternoon most success
fully by the Professor of Special and
Surgical Anatomy of the College,
in the presence of a large number of
the class of ’75. The patient was
placed on the amputating table, a
bag of salt and powdered ice was
wrapped around his chest above the
tumor, and in a few moments -tho
tumor, was taken off. There was
but a slight flow or blood, contrary
to general expectation. Ether had
been administered to the poor fellow
before the operation, and during the
amputation he jabbered constantly
in the Ethiopian language.—Augus

back. As it is, to ask a respectable

AN INTERESTING ARTICLE FROM AN OLD
SOLDIER.
Editor of lh? Herald:
In an editorial of the Herald notic
ing a canard which appeared in some
Western paper relating to tlie death
of Gen. John H. Morgan, your writer
was led into’ some important errors
as to the agent who procured, and
the circumstances attended the mur
der for murder it was most foul —of
this gallant Confederate eliieftan.
Will you allow me space to furnish
your readers with a correct version
of the matter, especially as Gen. Gil
letn in his offi rial report, and a sub
sequent letter given to tlie public has
-,een proper to depart as far from tlie
truth as your writer is mistaken in
the facts. That writer unwittingly
docs injustice to those who will feel
it keenly. Tito writer says lie be-
I longed to Morgan’s command, but
| evidently he could not have been
| present at tlie tragedy.
THE FACT OF THE CASE.
The only surviving daughter of
j Mrs. Doctor Williams is tlie relict of
; Hon. W. H. Sneed, who was a inem
| ber of Congress before the war from
i the Knoxville, Xeun., District, and
; who during the war served in tlie
I Confederate Congress. Mrs. Sneed
I .it the time of Morgan s death was
i physically, morally and mentally in
| capable of such an act of turpitude
]as is ascribed to her. Site was not at
I the time of tho occurrence in or near
tlie town of Greenville, and above ail
I she was as true to our cause os was
j Jell Davis.
j Now as to the facts. After M or
igan’s return from Kentucky, in 1851,
| lie passed from Abingdon, Ya., into
East Tennessee, sending on the
1 inarch a portion of tiis forces to Tuy-
I lorsviile, Johnson county, which de
| tachment afterwards re-united wit h
: tho main body at or near Carter’s
j Station, on the East Tennessee and
| Virginia Railroad. From t hence he
j moved on Greenville to drive out
| Gen. Gilletn, who was strongly lor
! titled at Bull's Gap, eighteen miles
l distant. His plan t" dislodge Gillum
! from his stronghold waste turn his
| left rear, out tiis communication with
I Knoxville, and then at tack in front,
| with forces moving from towards
i Jonesboro, simultaneously with
(those in the rear. On the evening
I of September 3d, Ii is advance passed
j through Greenville and bivouaeed
l about four miles from the town, on
! the Rogeraville road. Morgan, with
!a small body-guard, comprised of
I twelve men, commanded by Lieut.
| Hawkins, rode back into town, and
!on invitation of Mrs. Williams, ac
| eepted tho hospitalities of her man
! sion for the night.
hi addition to Ihcguard of cavalry,
i there was a section of Burn's battery
! halted and pin lon a hill In the vi
j cinity of the village. In tho mean
| time the road leading to Bull's Gap
] was picketed by details from (Brad
ford’s! 31st Tennessee Regiment, and
I other usual precautions were taken
| to prevent surprise or information of
our movements being conveyed to
j the enemy. After these dispositions
; were made for the night, Morgan par
took of tlie good cheer provided by
his hostess, and retired to an up
stairs room to seek rest, which he
badly needed, leaving a guard of a
sergeant and six men in tlie hull be
low. At 4 o’clock in the morning he
sent orders bv a courier for the troops
on the Rogersviile road to move, in
tending to follow or remain to give
directions, as circumstances might
require. About (i o'clock Bring in
the town gave notice of our attack.
Morgan was clot,bed in an under
shirt, pants and hoots when lie de
scended tlie stairs and passed out. of
the hall to the rear of tho house into
the garden ; lie was unarmed, having
neither pistol or sabre this pistols
| were in the hands of tiis secretary)
and on entering the garden lie dis
covered that the whole block or
j square was surrounded by the enemy,
who were tiring in all directions to
create a panic; be then passed into
lan arbor covered with grape vines
j and said to the few near him, “they
| have us.” Jo the meantime the
I fences were torn down and the
j grounds entered by some on foot and
I some mounted. Morgan, hearing
i his secretary, who was stand-
I ing near the entrance to the
arbor, challenged as to his whero
j abouts, stepped out arid said, “I sur
| render,” when lie was brutally shot
| down by Mdses Campbell, of Sevier
! county. East Tennessee, a private in
Kirk’s Regiment, who was soon after
promoted to a lieutenancy for the
atrocious act. Morgan’s body was
( then thrown face downwards across
| a horse and was carried in triumph
| through the streets and out about a
; miic on the Bull’s Gap road, over
i which the enemy were hastily re
i treating to their fastness, where it
was thrown down into the mud. The
I body was recovered on application to
! Col. Jiin Brownlow, made by Major
Withers and Cupt. .Tames Rogers, of
Morgan’s staff, and carried back to
town, where it. was washed and put
in a rude coffin by those of ids men
who were there prisoners. An ambu
lance was then procured, and under
a ltag of truce tiis remains were ear-,
i ried to Jonesboro, thence by rail to
I Abingdon, Ya., where Ids wife took
charge of them and carried them to
! Richmond. Ya., where they were in
i terred in Hollywood Cemetery, there
j to await the call of the resurrection.
Now, as t.o the manner of the sur
, prise and death of Morgan, your wri-.
j ter is totally mistaken as to the
: agent who procured it. It. was
! brought about not by the daughter of
! Mrs. Williams, but by her daughter
in-law, tho wife d' Captain Joseph
! Williams, an officer in the Yankee
army. Her family name is Turloe or
| Tayloe. She was born and brought
|up in Lynchburg, Virginia. Her
father was an old and respected citi
zen of that city, who accumulated a
j fortune in the manufacture and sale
jof hats, and if I am mistaken in the
i name it cun lie easily supplied by any
j citizen of Lynchburg. After her
| marriage she lived much of her time
j at the residence of her father-in-law
| in Greenville, and after his death re
mained as a member of tlie family.
| Doctor Williams was an educated,
wealthy gentleman of aristocratic
'tastes and habits; a great lover of
| field sports, and especially fox-hunt-
I ing; his dogs and horses were the
i most famous in the country for
: purity of breed and perform
; ance in field sports. His daughter
in-law, Mrs. Capt. Joseph Williams,
' was phyiseally a perfect person, and
; a magnificent rider; she always ac
companied her father-in-law and ids
party in the chase, took the leap
splendidly and was generally in at
the death. In this way she became
thoroughly acquainted with the coun
try and was in every respect fitted by
nature for the dreadful work which
COLUMBUS, GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER (5. 1875.
she so successfully executed through
the storm of tho night of Septem her
3d, 1804. Mounted on her favorite
horse she, by her knowledge of the
ground, was enabled easily to avoid
our picket oil itho Bulls Gap road
and by short outs across the country
reached Gillum fortress soon after
dark, where her plan for Morgan's
capture wasatonco put into motion ::
how effectually we all now know. i
It was observed by those on guard
at Mrs. Williams’house that the eld- j
<*r Mrs. Williams was the only white j
i female on the premises and Gen. j
Morgan,who more than once before
must have spent a night in the house, :
must have noticed the abesnee of j
Iso important a member of.
the family, for ho gave be-!
fore returning special orders to the j
guard to permit no one to leave or
enter the house, before morning.!
Whether he had presentiments of
evil or not, it is certain that he man- 1
ifested.uneasiness during the night j
which tic did not explain.
On the morning of tho 4th, after
I the tragedy was ended, this woman
rode among the prisoners, vaunting
i of her exploits,exclaiming, "Oh, yes!
I Shackleford and Burbridge and Gil
!<‘in have been after Morgan for a
long while, but it took a woman at
last!" Private Henry Hill, compnny
15, Cassell’s Battalion, who was sit
ting on some cross-ties weeping only
I as strong men can weep, gave her a
j rebuke so pointed ami severe as to
Cause one of the Yankee guard to
strike him, and his life was perhaps
(saved only by the interference of an
■ officer.
These facts establish beyond eou
] troversy who it was that betrayed
Morgan.
This erratic, bad woman afterward
| deserted her husband and country,
iand went off with a Yankee officer.
| Her husband applied for and obtain
jei 1 a divorce. Her subsequent history
j is unknown to the writer.

Tin* Fryer TPOC.
A writer says, Among his other
] great public enterprises, Garibaldi.
| the famous Italian hero, is engaged
in planting the Eucalyptus, or blue
gum tree, about Rome, to prevent
! tin' malarial fever with which the in
j habitants of that citvare afflicted. As
! this tree is little known in our coun
try, some account of it. may not be
i uninteresting. According tot.be best
i authorities it is an Australian pro
[ (iuction, and was first discovered by
| the French scientist, La Nillardiere,
j who visited Van Dieman’s Land in
171.12. It. was brouhgt into the south
} of France about tho beginning of the
(present century, and noble. spool -
| mens of it are now growing in the
promenades and public gardens of
( Nice, Cannes, Hyeres and Algiers.
| Its medicinal qualities, however, did
. not become known until about thirty
| years ago. The Spaniards first dis
i covered that it was a preventive of
I fever, and the colonists of Tasmania
i used its leaves for a variety of pur
j poses. It was not until 18(50 its full
j power became known, and ns a hy
gienic measure, it was introduced in
i the Spanish realm as an antiseptic.
| The people of Valentia were, suffer
ing from malarial fever; Eucalyptus
I trees were planted about the city,
! and a marked improvement, in the
j healthful!!ess of the locality follow-
I cd. So popular did it become that
(the trees had to be guarded, the in
j habitants stealing the leaves every
I opportunity they had, to make do
j eoctions to drink. Tho Spaniards
j named the Eucalyptus the “fever
tree,” and soon afterward it was in-
I trodneed into Algeria. It next trav
eled to the Cape of Good hope, Cor
sica, Sicily, South America and Cali
| forma. Garibaldi’s attempt to int.ro-
I duco it into Rome is not entirely new.
| Some years ago a few dozen speei
j mens were planted about the walls,
and although nearly all of tho trees
! lived, but very few of them are vig
! o*ms. After a trial of many years in
j Southern Frenee, it, lias failed to be
come hardy, or stick up and destroy
I tlie poisonous vapors of the swamps
iin which it was planted. The trap
pist monks of the Tro Fontano have
j recently set out large plantations of
j the Eucalyptus trees, and arc tend-
I ing them with utmost care. This
may bo fairly looked upon us a de
j eisive experiment. The record of the
j Eucalyptus tree, as an antiseptic and
| disinfectant is excellent.. The dis
i triets in which it is indigenous are
healthy, and those into which it had
! been introduced and thriven havolie
i come healthy. A few miles from
I Algiers is a farm which was once
noted for its deadly fevers. Life on
iit in tlie summer months was al
most impossible. In the year 18(17
(the owner planted lfiflO F.iichiyptus
trees, and they grew nine feet in |
(thirteen mouths,‘and not a single
| ease of fever appeared, nor lias there
I been any fever there since.

MRS. F. D. MOULTON AND DEACON WEST
TURNED OUT OF CHURCH—PROTEST AND
STATEMENT OF MRS. MOULTON-CARD
FROM DEACON WEST, ETC.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. s.— Between
fifty and sixty members of Plymouth
i Church assembled Inst night in tho
parlors of that society to transact
business that had been adjourned
I from u former meeting. S. V. White
acted ns Moderator.
! The meeting was for tho purpose of
taking action on the onuses of Mrs.
Francis D. Moulton and Deacon West,
who had been officially informed that
their names would bo dropped from
the roll of members of Plymouth
Church beeauso of their non-attend
ance upon tho ministrations of tlie
church. Deacon West was not pres
ent. and Itis name was expunged with
out protest. Mrs. Moulton attended,
accompanied by Gen. Roger A. Pryor
as counsel. The chairman of the Ex
amining Committee moved that Mrs.
Moulton’s name be dropped from the
roll; which was seconded. General
Pryor then arose and read Mrs. Moul
ton’s answer, protesting against the
adoption of the Examining Com
mittee’s recommendation, because
she is not an absentee in any proper
sense of the word. She further says:
"My absence is an enforced one, and
is caused by the crime of adultery
committed by Henry Ward Beecher,
pastor of this church, with one of his
j parishioners, which I know to be a
1 fact, through Mr. Beecher’s eonfes
i sions to me, and through confessions
of Mrs. Tilton, and through conclu
sive evidence of the crime from other
sources. I appear before this church
in loyal obedience to the summons
which I have received, and I hereby
declare my disposition and desire to
discharge all the duties put upon me
as a member that are consistent with
my knowledge of the adultery of the
pastor and his false swearing with
regard to it,”
A most impressive silence followed
tlie reading of Mrs. Moulton's protest
and statement.
A silent vote was then taken, and
the name of Mrs. Emma Moulton was
dropped from Plymouth Church roll
| of membership.
It is alleged that at a meeting
j Wednesday night of the New Y'ork
I and Brooklyn Association of Congre
| gutional Ministers, a committee was
appointed to inquire on the part of
the Society into the truth or falsity
of tho charges against Rev. Henry
| Ward Beecher, and tlie committee, it
j is said, will enter upon the discharge
jof its duties at once. They aro in
i structed to report whether the Asso
j elation ought to retain YD. Beecher
j in its membership.
A CARD FROM WEST.
Brooklyn. sth.— A card is publish
ed to-day from Wm. F. YVest, whoso
name, along with that of Mrs. Emma
C. Moulton, was struck from the roll
of membership of Plymouth Church
last night. West claims that his

est notice, and that he was given no
opportunity to meet tho committee.
He also says the precipitate action of

States District Attornies Patrick and
lvrew, cx-Unitcd States Marshal C.
A. Newcotnb, Orville Graut, brothor
of the President, General Babcock,
tho President’s Private Secretary,
and others. Tho greatest excitement
prevails. The indictment charges
them with conspiracy with St. Louis
j distilleries, to defraud the Govern
ment out of taxes on an immense
amount of crooked whiskey. The
! indictments grew out of the testi-
I rnotiy before the Grand Jury of Jas.
iM. Fitzroy, lato Deputy Uninted
States Collector. Fitzroy was indict
ed by the previous Grand Jury and
lately plead guilty to tho charges
against him. He is said to have been

NOT CREDITED AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, Nov. s.— Secretary
Bristow, Commissioner Pratt and
Mr. Solicitor Wilson, have not re

Scc’y Bristow expresses the opinion in
which the Commissioner of Internal

RIVER THIEVE*.
ONE CAUGHT AND MAKES A CONFESSION.
Cincinnati, Oct. s.— The vicinity of
Vanceburg, Kentucky, has suffered
terribly of late from depredations of
an organized band of river thieves,
who have robbed meat houses and
barns and in one instance carried off
40 bushels of wheat. The Marshal
of Marysville succeeded in arresting
four of this band, and one of these
made a confession, which led to tho
capture of a large amount of tho
booty, and it is believed that the
whole band will be captured.
Thr New Ynrk Hrrnlil on tlie Polillrnl
Nit nation.
New York, Nov. s.—The Herald
this morning in an editorial under
the caption of “Political Consequon-1
cos of tho Lato Elections,” givos the j
list of t he Democratic and Republican i
States, with a number of elections to
which oach is entitled to show
tho present, political situation ns ro- i
gards tho Presidential contest, and ;
the Democratic States are: Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, ;
Kentucky, Louisiana, Ylaryland,
Mississippi, Ylissouri, New York, Now
Hampshire, Tennessee, Texas, Y'ir
gitiia and West Virginia, with a total
electoral vote of 188; the remainder!
as Republicans States nineteen in all,
have a total electoral vote of 181.
This shows the next Presidential elec-!
tion will tio eloso and doubtful, and
one of tho most stranoous and excit
ing that lias ever occurred in the his
tory of our politic. Judged by
the latest elections in all the States,
t he Democratic party would elect the
next Presidentby a majoriry of 7, but
that will bo easily wiped out if the
Republicans carry Ohio next October,
the moral effect of the triumph there
three weeks in advance of tin* great
contest being at least srt electoral
votes to the party which shall carry
that State. Tlie Republicans have
merely to keep what they won last
month to give them ascendancy in
Ohio in October, 1870, and carry off
the Presidential prize; but if tli*y
loose Ohio, tho election of a Demo
cratic President would be inevitable.

tod in tlie heart of tho City of New York, and es
timated to be worth Two Million, Four Hundred

menced on the 20th of May. 1875, and the build
ing will bo ready to receive the goods from the

No investment for people of small means waa
over offered equaling the Bonds of the Industrial
Exhibition Cos. The bonds are secured by a
mortgage wi ich makes the principal safe, and

bond-holder participates four times a year in the
allotment of premiums above named.
The difference between these bonds and a lot

his money or draw a priee, while the holder of an
ludnstrial Exhibition Bond, cannot lose his in
vestment, but must have returned to him, the
principal and a small rate of interest added, and
in addition, has an opportunity to draw u pre
mium ranging from SSO to $100,090.
The Board of Directors and the Trustee* wf the
mortgage, are among tho most eminent business
men of New York, and is of itself a guarantee
that the Bonds are a safe and and sirable invest
ment.
The Company is not responsible for any money
sent, except it be by check, Postal order, draft or
express, payable to the order of The Industrial
Exhibition Cos.
