Gasette.l Tue oration of Ben Hill, the great statesman from Georgia, in response to Mr. Mr. Blaine, who advocated the exclusion of Jefferson Davis from amnesty, was an able and eloquent defense of the “chieftain of the lost eause,” which elicited a feeling of gratitude from every Southern heart; aud a local poet, though not presuming to affect poetical excel lence, chooses to express that grati tude in the following words: From the field of Appomatox,|fro'a Manassas' bloody plain. From the lip* of those now living, from the graves of those who’re slain. From the widows aud the orphans, from the chil dren yet unborn. From the ruined homes and places of a people most forlorn. There swells s voice of gratitude no strife nor storm can still, A rousing shout of thanks to thee, great, glori ous Beu Hill. The moaniug winds that sigh above the foot boards aud the head Of two hundred thousand Southern men asleep now with the dead. Badly sing with praise to thee, for those who cannot sing, Aud all the thanks of blended hearts in one great anthem ring. And when upon the grassy mound that marks the soldier’s tomb Once more the Southern violets in early spring do bloom, They’ll wear for thee, great Georgian, a brighter, lovelier hue, For the words you spoke for Davis were beauti ful and true. And Virginia sends h*r greetings, us the other States have done, To our sister State of Georgia, iu honor of her son, . Who in the nation’s councils lus mighty logic hurled, Aud saved our fallen chieftain from the censure of the world. N. Biiceii. jr. TUB NH APR OF THE WOULD. THE MAN WHO WANTS TO BET THAT IT IS FLAT. New York World.] An Englishman named Hampden is possessed of a tixed belief that the world is flat, and no seientilio evi dences of it3 sphericity move him in the least. So sincere is his fait h on this point that he constantly backs it with bets whicn he of course al ways loses. But with the heartfelt curse of a baffled though still un shaken Briton lie begins again direct ly, looks out for a customer, haggles about the stakeholder and the um pire, and puts up his money anew with undaunted pluck and confidence. He has been engaged in this business for a period of years, and it is pos sible that his losses begin to tell on his fortune, as he has just brought suit against the stakeholder of his last wager for the recovery of the money paid over by that gentleman to his antagonist. While he rejects the conclusion drawn from them, he does not impugn the fairness of the scientific processes which caused judgment to be given against him. hut bases his suit upon the plea that he has had no consideration for his money. This seems to imply that the obstinate namesake of that great statesman and patriot who stood out with equal fortitude against the pay ment of ship-money, intends to abandon his efforts to correct the aberrations and expose the pretou sions of science,or at least to spend no more money in that fruitless endeav or. It eannot be denied that he has backed his opinion manfully. His cosmological theory has at least ttiis claim to respect—that it is a very old one, and was the fashion long before the one at present held had been heard of. Neither Hecatmus nor Ptolemy nor the geographer of Hav en na had any doubts of the flatness of the world, or that the sun rose out of or sunk into the ocean, as it ap peared to do. Could Mr. Hampden have livedln their time, and got bets enough,he would have coined money. “Sad is the fate of the bard born out of time,” as the poet sings, and equally sad, as the plucked Briton hus found out, is the fate of the cos mologist who comes into the world the proportions of which he would rectify, a few hundred years after all the judicious stakeholders have passed away, and a stiff necked and perverse generation has come upon the stage which rejects the plain tes timony of appearances, and fashions its belief on remote and deluding forms of evidence. These forms Mr. Hampden scorns and spits upon ; but as they beat him everytime, he is perhaps wise in giving up the strug gle and suing for the recovery of his lost money. *—_—. Wind Traveling Seven Hundred 11110* an Ilnur. JCew York Herald, 3d.] The force of the wind when travel ing at high velocities is capable of producing the most extraordinary effects on exposed objects, such as buildings, trees, animals and even bodies of water. In March, 1875, a series of destructive tornadoes visited North and South Carolina and Geor gia, and Sergeant Calver of the Sig nal Service, was ordered to investi gate their character and effects. Among other remarkable instances of wind force he reported that “a rock weighing 18,000 pounds and having 35 square feet of exposed sur face, was moved 7 feet. “A pine log weighing 1,200 pounds and with 35 square feet of exposed surface, was carried a quarter of a mile.” “A pine board was driven through a telegraph pole.” “A bale of cotton weighing 500 pounds was carried a quarter of a mile.” The Sergeant observer calculates the following de gree of force for the relative velocity of the wind : Pressure, 20.9 pounds per square foot of exposed surface, velocity, 73.3 miles per hour; 30.5 pounds, 78.1 miles; 77.7 pounds, 126.4 miles. He further estimates thatsome of the Iresults could not have been produced by a wind traveling at a less velocity than about 700 miles an hour. . Bridging the British Channel.-If the projected tunnel under the chan nel between England and France proves impracticable, M. Vernard de Saint Anne, of the French Academy, still holds out the hope of a dry-shod railroad between the two countries. He shows, from the accepted hydro graphical charts, the existence of a series of sand banks between Grave lines and Ramsgate, over which the water is only ten feet deep. With a little coaxing by engineers he thinks the natural forces that have raised these banks would soon lift them out of the water, affording a dry road way, and leaving only a few gaps— the largest only a mile wide—to be bridged. V()L. 2. C( )N G RESSION AL* TUKNDAY, AI’UII, U. SENATE. Washington, April 11.—The major ity of the Judiciary Committee re ported adversely, and the minority favorably, to the House bill for the protection of witnesses. The bill iixiug tho rate of postago on third-class mail matter was de buted at length, without action upon it. HOCSE. The House amended and passed the Senate bill appropriating money for continuing work on the Capitol grounds. The bill making an appropriation for a deficiency in tho Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and provid ing for the issue of silver coin in lieu of the fractional currency, was further debated until adjournment. The House has amended the Senate bill, and when it passes the House it must go back to the Senate. WEDNESDAY A I’ll!I, lSlh. SENATE. The chair laid before the Senate a communication from tne Secretary of War, enclosing a copy of a memoran dum from Gen. O. Howard, relative to Alaska—laid on table and ordered bo printed. Mr. Edmunds presented a memor ial of citizens of Vermont in favor of the repeal of the Bankrupt law—re ferred ; also petition of Vermont sol diers now receiving pensions against the transfer of tho Pensions Bureau to the War Department—referred. Mr. Anthony called up the bill to provide for tho sale of extra copies of public documents, and for the dis tributing of the regular official edi tions thereof. After dicussion, tho bill passed. The unfinished business, being the bill fixing the rate of postage on third class mail matter and for other purposes, was then taken up, the question being on the substitue pro posed by Mr. Harvey, to strike out all after the enacting clause aud in sert a clause restoring the former rates on third class mail matter. After discussion, the amendment was rejected. The bill having been considered in committee of the whole, was re ported to the Senate, when Mr. Har vey renewed his substitute. HOUSE. Mr. Harris, from the Committee on Elections, submitted report on the contested election case of Cox vs. Strait, of the Second Minnesota Dis trict, with a resolution declaring Mr. Strait, sitting Rep., entitled to the seat. The Speaker laid before the House the credentials of John T. Wait, member elect from the Third Con necticut District, in the place of Mr. Starkweather, deceased, and the new member was sworn in by the Speaker. The Speaker laid before the House a communication from the Sorgeant at-Arms, stating that on the 11th instant lie had been served with a writ of habeas corpus commanding him to have before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia the body of Hailet Kilbourne, now held by him by order of the House, and askiog the instruction of the House in relation to the matter. Mr. New, of Indiana, offered a res olution referring the matter to the Judiciary Committee for their exami nation and opinion as to whut should be the action of the House, and that the committee report as soon as pos sible, not later than Saturday agreed to. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, offer ed a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Committee on Judiciary to inquire and report what steps have been taken to represent the interest of the United States in connection with the Credit Mobilier, and also whether the Union Pacific Railroad Company has not forfeited its char ter, and whether steps should not be taken to enforce said forfeiture. Mr. Cox, of New York, asked unan imous consent to offer the following for adoption; Resolved, That tho Committee on Foreign Affairs be requested to con sider and report what action, if any, should be taken by the President to receive and entertain the Emperor of Brazil and the President of Peru, who are soon to arrive in this coun try. Mr. O’Brien of Maryland, and Mr. Holman of Indiana, objected to the resolution. It wa3 referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The House then, in the morning hour, proceeded to the consideration of bills reported from committees. Mr. Cook, of Georgia, addressed the Committee of the Whole, reply ing to the remarks of Mr. Cox made when the bill was last under consid eration. He took the general ground that the transfer was a matter of economy, of good faith with the In dians, in comparison with the pres ent system of advantage alike to whites and Indians. He went into a recital of detail showing gross fraud and wanton waste of supplies intend ed for the Indians which never reach ed them, and general misappropria tion of the public money. At half-past six o’clock the com mittee rose. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, from the Committee on Territories, reported a bill for the admission of New Mexico' as a State of the Union—ordered printed and recommitted; and then the House took recess till 7:30 p. m. THE TIMES. COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 187(3. A LOllttß OF KNIUHTN OF PYTHIAM AT FORT VALLEY. V HURHAII FOR COL. HARDEMAN FOR GOV ERNOR. Special to the Times by 8. k A. Liue.) Fort Valley, Ga., April 12.—A lodge of tho Knights of Pythias, known as Walden Lodge No. 19, was instituted hero last night by Col. Thomas Hardeman, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the State, and Mr. D. B. Woodruff, Grand Vice Chancellor of the World, assisted by several Past Chancellors from Macon. Wal den Lodge No. 19 K. of P. has been instituted with the most flattering prospects for the future, is composed of the very best material, and is des tined to become a lodge as live and flourishing as any in tho State at an early day. The first, second and third ranks were conferred on four teen charter members last night, aud the following named officers were regularly installed to tho respective offices: E. T. Byington, Past Chan cellor; G. W. Byington, Chancellor Commander; A. L. Miller, Vice Chancellor; W. E. Collier, Keeper of Records and Seals; B. Wheeler, Jr., Master of Finance; S. B. Brown, Prelate; W. B. Mathews, Master-at- Arms ; W. C. Winslow, Inside Guard ian ; J. F. Duke, Outside Guardian. The work consumed the entire night. Tho lodge having been duly instituted and the officers installed, the Knights repaired to the hotel, where refreshments in the way of a sumptuous meal were partook of at 5 o’clook in the morning. Hon. Thos. Hardeman, in reponse to a call to reply to an address blade by Col, Winslow, made some beauti ful and very appropriate remarks. Having had some previous intima tion that he would be expected to say something relative to gubernatorial affairs, lie said in his address that lie came not here in tho interest of him self, but in the interest only of the noble order which he had the honor to represent and because it was his duty. His political aspirations seem ed to have been forgotten during the entire two days ho remained with us. Mr. Woodruff was also called upon to address tho assembly, and as tho day was then dawning he arose and said, “Well, Brother Knights, I care not to detain you, for I uow see the gray streaks of day in the eastern horizon, and if we remain hero much longer I fear the citizens of Fort Val ley will think sure enough that we all are K-nights.” B.

THE SAFE BURGLARY. IIA BROCK OItHJI VITOIt OF THE JOB! The OWJ< c to Meal Caper* that Would Criminate llljfli Government Ofllelul* ! New York, April I*2.—A special from Wiudsor, Vermont, gives an interview with Miles, alias White, in the State prison there for bank rob bery. He was tho cracksman in the safe burglary business at Washing ton. He says he was hired by Har rington to do the job. He was sont for by Col. Whiteley, who gave him an idea of what was wanted, and sent him to Nettleship for particu lars. Whiteley said there was an in vestigation on foot at Washington, which would eventually implicate some of the prominent officials of the District aud National Governments, and these officials wanted to have tho force of tho investigation broken. Nettleship told him that the plan was to get cortuin books and papers that were in the District Attorney’s office at Washington into tho posses sion of Columbus Alexander, and to break open the District Attorney’s safe and take them to Alexandria house. The suggestions and details came from Harrington. Miles afterwards was inclined to backout, but was assured by Har rington and General Babcock that all promises made to him would be stoutly adhered to. Babcock knew all about it. A prominent Washing ton official was also mentioned by Miles as a party to the job, but his name is kept secret for the present. President Grant, Miles thinks, was ignorant of the whole thing. The job was originated by Babcock. the black hills ok bust. AND THE CRY OP HUMBUGGED MINERS IS “BUSTED”—NOT A SINGLE AUTHENTIC REPORT OP GOLD IN PAYING QUANTI TIES. Special Correspondence of the St. Louis Times.] Cheyenne, W. TANARUS., March 31. —The great rush of crazy men to the Black Hilis continues, and the number of disappointed men is on the increase. Although during tho latter part of the last week they came in more slowly, it was only on account of the severity of the weather; but immediately at the beginning of the week the rush of intatuated gold seekers recommenced. The town is flooded with gamblers, fancy wo men, and roughs of all classes, hut the absence of shooting and disturb ing thopoaoo is something uulooked for in a town of this kind. People are not allowed to carry concealed weapous, and the.rute is strictly en forced by the police, as they receive three dollars for every arrest they make. The average Black Hiller is determined to go to the Hills in the faco of severe storms and discourag ing reports from that vicinity. They have started and are determined to go through or "bust;” the truth is, the majority are “busted” before they reach the Hills. Hundreds of men are here out of employment and are eager to work for a meal’s victuals while hundreds of others feel that they have been completely sold, but are ashamed to return. REPORTS PROM THE HILLS. Most of tho reports now received are fabrications of lying rascals hired especially for the purpose at the different outfitting points, ami also of returned miners who say they are going back, when in truth they have no such intention. Your correspond ent met a party just in from the Hills last .Saturday, who has been there since the first of last Hoptember, and at work all winter until three weeks ago. He stated that he was on his way East and would return in a month or two. Ho had a blanket and a carbine that he wished to sell. Upon inquiring if he found any gold, ho explained he had in two different places, but before stating anything further he asked me if I was an old miner. I satisfied him that I was not, whereupon he said ho found twenty-five cents to the pan in one prospecting hole and forty cents to tho pan in another. I told him I did not know much about mining, but if I could strike sixty cents to the pan I would work in mud waist deep and not go home until I hud a good pile to go with. I further told him ttiat I thought if he would keep that story up he could sell his blanket and car bine. Upon inquiring if he had any gold with him, he said he had, lint stated I was too inquisitive. Another gentleman showed a specimen and said it would yield S6OO to the ton, but could not tell where his claim was, and had to acknowledge ho was cornered. Still anotherburlyand dir ty looking frontiersman who occupied a conspicuous corner in Oheyonne, stated he had a claim in which he could realize $25 to SSO to tho day for every man that he would put to work in it, but would not state where it was, as he was “afeered” too many would go there. He stated that he iust came back last week. Upon inquiring among different par ties in the city I found this dirty old greaser had been in Cheyenne con tinuously for the last six months. I might goon and relate to you a hun dred other different stories of ttie same sort, which you can read daily in the newspapers. Still there are fools enough ready to start to the Hills who will never hesitate until thev go and see for themselves. I base my opinion upon tho return of old miners and not upon the few "tender feet” who go in there with out money and soon return homesick and desperate. It is true there are many of the latter class, and they have no person to blame but them selves, for no man should start to the Hills with less than from S3OO to SSOO as it will take all of that to car ry him the round trip. Log cutting is one dollar a day in tho Hills and the price still decreasing. The re port is circulating here that a store in Custer was broken open by a lot of desperate and starving miners, who took almost everything. A merchant in Cheyenne, who has a branch store there, expressed to me his fears about its safety a few days ago. Now the qustion is, how can the people in the East hear tho true story when the different outfitting points have their committees ap pointed, to hire the different news paper reporters to lie about the Hills and their respective localities? Many correspondents ARE LIVING IN BIG STYLE here, but how they pay sl2 per week for board and spread around gener ally on $8 letters is something tho avorage native cannot tell. It is pretty well understood, however, amongtlie knowing ones that they reooivo money trora committees appointed by tho for tho purpose of buying up reports and circulating lies generally about the Hills and places in which’ they luxu riate. These reporters never leave tho towns, nevertheless, they send dispatches direct from the Black Hilis of their marvelous richness and the beautiful valleys surround ing them. We took . A RUN UP TO SIDNEY the other day, and like all outfitting points litte Sidney is making a dos perate effort to leap to the front. She has also a hired reporter, boarding at a sl2 per week house, whose business it is to herald the virtues of Sidney as a starting point, and the Black Hills as a vast region of mineral wealth. Any man who is making $25 to SSO per month had bettor stay where he is, for the stories you hear from hired reporters about $5, $lO and on up to $25 are aliuriug lies thrown out as baits to the eager gold seeker. And it is all done for the benefit of these starting points and the railroads on which they are situated. It costs you to return $24 from Cheyenne to Oma ha. Although it may be cheap going into the Hills, you will find it like a church festival, as it will cost you five times as much to got out. A FIRST-CLASS FRAUD. We have formed an impartial con clusion about the amount of gold in the Black Hills, and bast) our belief on the reports of old and experienced miners wno have been at work there since the first excitement, and we have concluded that it is the biggest rraud ever perpetrated on the honest masses during the last century. They all report indications of gold, but nothing that will pay. It will take $5 expenditure to secure $1 in gojd, but they state that if the miners will go into the Big Horn country, 250 miles west of tho Black Hilis, they possibly may strike paying gold thore. There is no certainty even about that country; it is ail conjec ture. Bed rock in tho Hills has been struck in several places without llnd iug paying gold. There is no water to work their claims even when they do find indications, and where there is water it will take from SSOO to $1,500 t.o build sluices to work it. There are plenty of men who .say they will go, any way; to all such I say start immediately, but, take mo ney enough along to return on, for every mile West you travel your opinion of gold in that locality will weaken. On Tuesday at 1 o’clock the Com mittee on Ways and Moans, by a strict party vote, finished the Tariff hill and ordered the chairman to re port it to the House. There was a long wrangle over the tea and coffee clause and, by way of compromise, the chairman proposed to reduce the tax on tea to 5 cents per pound and on coffee 2 cents. This was voted down by 0 to E, Blaine and Kelley, Repub licans, voting aye; aud 4 Democrrts. Tho next proposition was to strike tea aud coffee from tho bill, which was carried by a vote of 6 to 5. ——_-. • A Yew Mormon Nclieim*.
