A Free AitverlUeinriit. Sometimes we become very liberal and It even amounts to extravagance. We feel in this mood now, and therefore pro poao to give a froo notice and advertise ment to JBA F. POPE. Shoe dealer, Boston, Muss. Tho Ira V, Dope, above advertised has amassed considerable wealth, made by selling shoos, boots and leather to south ern dealers. He has made so much money that be Is either Indifferent to the southern trade, or ho lias turned a "Moody shirt” haranguer. In reply to an old Columbus customer, who desired u bill of goods, this Ira P. Pope, says he can't afford to send them, and gives the MorUm-Butler like excuse, that lie can't trust his goods South, as ho fears another revolution, judging from the ac tion of the Southern Democrats. Now, If Ira P. Pope, Besting, Massachu setts, thinks this can whip Southern men Into supporting the Radical party, by writing such letters as he has written hero, he Is very much mistaken. There are plenty of shoo dealers at tlio North who ore glad to honor Southern dealer' orders, (and wo believe tills Pope to be among the number) but Pope wants to control public sentiment and Stiffo honest purpose with every pair of [wiper soled boots lie sells. This he cannot iro.nnd the more radical and hatred he piles on, the more determined our shoe dealers Should be to let his nmAhino made shoes, and half tuuuod leather alone. It we must trade with the North, let us trade wtlh those who are friendly to us and toourinterests, and bwsuieund not cow promise our dig nity and financial standing, by licking the band that denis us the blow. Let Mr. Ira I’. Pope and his kind look else shore for a market. Politics is one tiling uud mer chandize Is another, and we think Pope’s slock of boots and shoos will prove a failure In tnnkiiig Radical converts ot Southern shoe dealers. Tills advertisement may not be worth a great deal UjAia.k. Popp, and we hope to make up lie! deficiency by asking our brothers of tint Southern and (juflgerva tlve press to extend to Ira P.

OO ffiff ‘ J 6 ?;' r VEBDICT OF THE JURY. Yesterday Coroner Uoyd, was tivico summoned to hold an inquest. Early In the morning nothing was agitating any body's’ mind, but about twelve o’clock, the news spread througii the city that a white infant had been found in the river, about a miio below the hospital. Foul work was expected, and thsocrooer the following • ii/ joyncM to view the body, I)an Duncan, Win. A. toward, li. F, Ectctlum, Ckrpeqtwr, John Jlodd, Wt H. .Jackson, Wmi Ingnitn, It. A. Ware. J."c. Cook, Tubs. Names, J. b. Odom and J. E. Alderman. They render ed the following ywdipt: , f ; , We, the Juroii, siy Tl.at the female in fant minie to her death from a violent blow ufxin tho side and front of the head, Inflicted by some unknown hand, and sub sequently thrown into the river to escape detection. The Jury lieard Hie testimony of Rueben Booth, tho man wiio found the body. He said he saw the body of, the child floating in tho eddy of the river, about a quarter of a utile below tho hospital. He did not know whose child tt was, but anchored it until he could report the case. This was all the evidence on the subject. The child was about three weeks old, and evidently been infanticied, as it boro marks of violence on Us bead. Tho forehead was indented, as with a round stick. The balarieeof tho body was perfect. It was a female child, and had been hi thewuler hut a couple or days. The Inquest was held ut tho Cburt House. IT IS AN EASY MATTER to find out who did tho deed. A small population like ours is not sufficiently dense to hide such a crime. A good detec tive would discover the mother of tho child in a little while. We have no doubt but the Infanticide Is the result of shame and remorse. Ihe body was burled at the county’s expense. HDierpE, on ACCIDENTAL. The Coroner had hardly oompitted the investigation of the Infanticide before be was called to summon a jury and decide how Jordan pavw, (eoJ.if came to his iteath. His body was found in tho ijver just above the City Mills by n negro woman, named Louisa Moyers. Coroner Lloyd summoned the following jury to try tho case, to-wlt: Jno. Duncan, J. H. Ilumsey, A. W. McMh haul, J, W Renfroe, Simon Hendricks, J. D. MoJun kin, J. R. Brinkley, J. J, Berkley, W. L. Hudson, Wm. Hunt, (Jeo. Lewis and Wm. Welch. They rendered tiro following verdict: Vo tho jury say that Jordan Davis came to his death by drowning himself in the Chattahoochee river, cause unknown to the jury. Two or three negroes wore examined by the jwry. Tkaevidenqs went todrferßj fithanenagJ4 J Tide is the same negro who knocked Missouri Snider In the head with an axe. In a fit of jealousy.

In tho other ease, the culprit has hours since bocn judged aud met bis reward, bo it good or evil. An Ailvrntiirr. It is told on a Columbus typo that he lately encountered a whiskey barrel. (The barrel, however, was empty, the contents having been distributed among various people.) Ho staggered into a grocer’s back yard at a late night hour, and Iu at tempting to find the door ho ran against a barrel, and being top-heavy, fell over It, and the barrel partially rolled on him.

When oanvassing his Btste fsrGovcrnor against Flournoy in 1855, and arresting, which he successfully did, the sweeping tide of Native Americanism, Gov. Wise said: “The State of Virginia has every olemeut of commerce, of agriculture, of mining, and of manufacturing. * * • You have the bowels of Your western moun tains -rich In iron. In copper. In coal, In salt, in gypsum—and the very earth Is rich In oil, which makes the very rivers Inflame. You have the line of the Alle ghany- -that beautiful Blue Ridge -which stands there, placed by the Almighty, not to obstruct tho passes to market, but placed there In the very bounty of Provl denoe to milk the clouds to mako the sweet springs which aro the eourcee of your rivers, and at tho head of every stream is the waterfall murmuring the very music of your power. Aud yet com merce has long ago spread her sail* and sailed away from you. You have not *s yet dug more than coal enough to warm yourselves at your own hearths. You hove set no tilt-hammer of Vulcan to striko blows worthy of gods in the iron foundries. Yon have not yot spun more than coarse cotton enougti in tho way of manufacture to clothe your own slaves. You have no commerce, no mining, no manufactures You have relied alone on the single power of agriculture—and such agriculture! [Groat laughter.) Your ledge patches outshine the sun. Your inattention to your only source of wealth has seared the very bosom of Mother Earth. Instead iff having to feed cattle oil a thousand hills, you have had to chase the stump-tailed eleer through the ledge patches to pro cure a tough beef-steak. [Laughter.] With all this plenitude of power she has been dwarfed In tho Union; but, by the gods! I say that she has power now, the energy, the resources—mav I say the men?—to be put upon the line of pro gress to eminence of prosperity to pas3 New York yet faster in the Union than ever New York passed hor. You have been called the Old Dominion. Let us, as Virginians, I implore you, this night re solve that anew era dawn, and that hencofourth she shall be called the New Dominion. Tho present condition of things has existed in Virginia too long. The landlord has skinned the tenant, and the tennant has skinned the land, until all have grown poor together.— Exchange. femur of the lira till rant Kite In Arizona —Hi:tier Than New Turk. An eastern gentleman engaged in min ing in Arizona, has written to a friend in New York, giving an account of the diffi culties under which mining operations arc prosecuted in that territory. He Bays: “The amount of progress I make to me small, but you can have no idea ol the djffliculties which have to be constant ly met and overcome The labor here is unreliable, and it is hard to get a day’s work for a day’a pay, and there i- a itrong teelhlg iff jealousy between the whites and Mexican* which is hard to overcome The weather is hot beyond lielief; never I think lew than ninety degrees in the shade, and from that up to one hundred and, twenty degree*. There is no l imber in the country, and af! the tmlfdlng has to be done with cottonwood poles, and haul ed 5 miles on jackasses totlieminc. Iu ad dition, l have had to pack water live miles, as we have had no rain, and tlie tanks at the mines are exhausted We have now killed three rattlesnakes in the house, be sides any quauity of scorpions. In open ing my trunk I was stung on the finger by a srorpion. I bound a poullice of ouionr and tobacco on the wound and drank three full pints of whisky. It made me very drunk, and I think killed the other poison, ‘ although my whole hand and arm was numbforaday ortwo. It is a pretty bard country, and three men have already died of thirst near here. My last letters were sent here from the mine (onlyfourteen mites distant) by an old Scotchman. The letters did not arrive, and we searched for him and found him dead only four miles from camp. He was stripped, and his nails were worn from his hands by search ing in tlie sand for water. We have sent out twice and brought in men who were crazy nnd blind ami speechless from thirst. The sun is terribly hot, and the rocks so hot that they blister the flesh if touched. You can hardly realize what a country It is, nor how expensive it is, as well as hard work, to accomplish much.
