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 ta Constitutionalist. Tlie Penalty of office.

As it is, to ask a respectable merchant or a lawyer in good stand ing, or a citizen of pure fame to be come a candidate for office is like asking a well dressed man to step in to a mud pool and wallow in the mire.—New York Herald.

A statement A limit Hie finite:! crate captain. 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.

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.

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 tho Treasurer of the St. Louis Whis key Ring. It is the most gigantic combination over made to beat the Government. NOT CREDITED AT WASHINGTON. Washington, Nov. s.— Secretary Bristow, Commissioner Pratt and Mr. Solicitor Wilson, have not re ceived any information from St. Louis relative to tlie indictment of Gen. Babcock, Orville Grant and others, by tbe grand jury of that city. Scc’y Bristow expresses the opinion in which the Commissioner of Internal Revenue concurs that there is no truth in the statement; that it is sent out for sensational purposes, be ing a part of the tactics of members of the whiskey ring to break the force of their downfall. 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.

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.
