Tile Negro in Alitbnitut --Successful Ef
fort to - Elevate liim—A heroic Woman
—Testator of the PernisTivitnitt Freed
men's Relief it.siioeintion.,
The fallowing Is part of a letter from William F.
Mitchell, superintendent of schools in Middle Ten
nessee and North Alabama, under the Pennsylvania
Freedmen's Relief Association, to the corresponding,
secretary of that hotly. It cannot fall to be read
with interest:
TV,suvit.rx, 7 1170., 20th,
You may recollect that when Miss Bendel° and
Mrs. Kilgore passed through this city, en route for
Stevenson, Alabama, whore they were to take
Charge of the ' , Keystone School," I gave them to
understand that I would follow them and assist in
the bettor organization of the school, In a lei , ' days.
The distressing illness of our teachers, in Nashville,
prevented the accomplisthient of this purpose until
within a week. In the meantime the two ladies pro
ceeded to open the school, and organize it on the
plan best utlapted to the condition of the children.
The average attendance was HO. At the end of a
month Mrs. Kilgore left the post iii with whooping
cough. Silos Randal° was thou let alone. About
the same time Captain Kilgore, the quartermaster,
in whose charge Miss Randall) was more directly,
wad ordered to Dalton, so that this lady was loft
alone. There was no otherlady in the camp; the
school had its strong enemies on the very spot, while
three miles distant, just over the Tennessee, lurked
the guerilla waiting the opportunity to raid upon
the station. For a time her life was one of great
trial. We could get no assistance to her from Nash
vide, all transportation of teachers to points below
being cut off, and the task of teaching atone 160
children was, to say the least, laborious. The
change of commanders and, troops frequently
brought reckless men about the school, who would
annoy and frighten the children, and stand about
the school-house, and indulge in coarse, vulgar
talk, and rude jesting. •
It was
_ - not an uncommon thing for her to find
dtunkon soldiers in the school-room when she
arrived, and in wet weather tho door of the house
was overflowed by the water from the mountain
behind it. Ber own quarters were also much ex
posed. Alarms were of frequent occurrence. One
of these took place on the night of my arrival. The
commander of the post at Bridgeton telegraphed
that "Stevenson Was to be attacked that night by
a large force of cavalry, which had crossed the Ten
nessee 'that aftertioon. l ! Every preparation was
made for resistance, and I heard the colonel detail
his plan for a line of battle in case the attack should
be made before morning. The rebels did not come,
however, but this was the fourth alarm of this
character since thislady's residence here.
Such was her situation—one of constant exposure;
but, nothing daunted, she had been carried through
it all. Ac the time had come for giving a vacation,
and it was also desirable to make some improve
ment in the, log school-house, an examination of
the school was held on the 16th. There were no in"-
dtvidual instances of remarkable progress, but in
ten weeks one hundred children had learned to read.
"A degree of emulation among our teachers is
highly desirable," was a remark, I think, of your
own; we, therefore, Invite the teachers of Port
Royal, Washington, or any other of the stations of
the Pennsylvania Preedinen , s Relief Association, to
show better results, considlring alt the circumstances.
On the morning of the 17th we held a Sabbath
school in an orchard near the camp oiongineers and
mechanics. About 121 children were present. They
were grouped under the trees, and listened with
profound attention to the'addresses,' which occupied
over an hour.
In the afternoon we held a meeting for the older
people, and It proved a very interesting opportu-,
nity. And the very circumstances should have
made it so. It was held within pistol shot of the
Alabama House, where, but two years-since, Jeff
Davis prophesied that it grass would grow in the,
streets of the great Northern cities." Now, an
unarmed man, from one of the principal of these
marts of commerce, was speaking boldly and freely
to a free people of their rights and obligations.
The scene was very impressive. The day was beau
tiful; the wide-spreading trees gave amplo shade
for those who listened. In font, up the hill side,
were a hundred soldiers, while, immediately before
and behind the speakers the freedmen and freed
women stpod or sat listening with an eagerness
that could be felt. I shall endeavor, when I see you
persentilly, to show you how the address of the sli
parigkendent was arranged, so as to " ring Jro2
soldiers present, and be strong counsel for the freed
people.
An excellent address upon the subject of equality
Was Made by. Capt. D t .G. , Kilgore,- formerly super
intendent of schools, Ydridisonf Wisconsin. • -
At the close Of the Meeting,-the leading colored.
men assured me that the school-house should be pitt
in order for winter, those wko could not asslst per
sonally promising to contribute money for , that pur
pose, One colored family prepared us a, dinner, and .
another a supper, and on both occasions proved the'
correctness of Mrs. IStowe's remark, " The colored
people are born cooks."
It is the intention to open this school early in Sep•
tember. In the meantiroe, the commander of the
post has secured to the'colored people full possession
of the:building as a place of worship.
In all probability the freedmen will not remain
at this point more than one year longer, but in that
- period how much may be done to educate and train
them for a life of freedom! As it has been impossi.
ble to get teachers to them, so it has been difficult to
send supplies of clothing, and many of the children
are very destitute. Permission has just been ob
tained to transmit a few boxes of goods to them, and
we know, from personal observation, that they will
be well bestowed. ,
AS,II of the progress which hasheen made in Ten
nessee and Alabama has been through conflict.
Most of the teachers came out too late In the sea
son, and the sudden stoppage of transportation
obliged them to stop in Nashville, where, in crowded
quarters, they suffered in health. The whole field
has at times swarmed with guerillas, and the mili
tary authorities, with the machines of war constantly
In their hands, had no time-for the affairs of freed
men. Yet, mach bas been'accomplished, and the
plan of the association for the coming season em
braces aline of schools from a point one hundred
miles from the mouth of the Tennessee to Chatta,-
nooga and beyond:
The Tribune on the Peace Conference.
The N. Y. Tribune OW not believe the recent
;peace negotiations> l at Niagara are'to be regarded
us altogether fruitless. It says :
But, even though the results rictually, attained
fall deplorably short of what might have been, we
hold that a great step has been gained toward peace
by eliciting the, President's -manifesto. Lot us re-
consider It' .

WASIIINGTON, JulylB, 1884
TO WHOM IT MAT CONCERN.
Any proposition which embraces the restoration
of peace, the integrity of the whole Union, and the
abandonment of slavery, and which comes by and
with an authority that can control the armies now
at war against the United States, will be received
and considered by the Executive Government of the
United States, and will be mot by liberal terms on
other substantial and collateral paints, and the
bearer or bearers of It shall have safe conduct both
ways. ABRAHAM. LINCOLN.
Here the President Insists upon but two cardinal
points, intimating that on all others he is ready and
willing to treat on " liberal terms." This overture
of the President will, of course, be disseminated at
the South, and will go far to disabuse the rebel sol
diers of the delusion, which has been sedulously in
culcated by their °Mere, that no terms can be made
with the Government—that they have no choice but
that between persistent lighting and unconditional
surrender. • Not one-tenth of those soldiers has any
interest In slavery, save to get rid of it ; while tons
Of thousands of them regard the rebellion as inex
cusable, and know that Its authors richly deserve
hanging. "But," they say, "we are standing be
tween our homes and devastation; between a
ruthless, hostile soldiery, and our wives and
children ; and • hero we must stand till wo
the South really know the actual
state of feeling at tho North, the rebellion
would not stand another month. The zanies
in the loyal States who talk as though a broad em
pire could be euloected to military execution sup
ply the venomous, desperate traitors in Dixie with
the very aliment they need, itnd ye L , l7/....ret •
that_one of_ the me sate isaltunore l i on- venuon seems calculated to give them a lift. Gen.
Fremont did a wise, generous, manly act, in stamp
ing instead of standing on the wholesale confisca
tion plank of the Cleveland platform, thereby aid
ing toSmooth the path to peace. Mr. Lincoln, in
the paper above given, has gone much further on
the same way, taking ground radically different
from that of unconditional submission: His Indis
pensable bases ofpeace aro just right—are those on
which it becomes him to insist ; though it (loos not
Miele that the rebels should be precluded from pro:.
posing any other, nor that all negotiation should be
barred until they shall bo prepared to concede, as a
preliminary, all that is essentially in dispute.
'Wesley, reproved by one of his brethren for the
light, lively character of some of the tunes to which
he Eat his hymns, wisely responded that he disputed
the right of the devil to a, monopoly of all the best
music. We feel very much like this when we hoar
the most vociferous champions of the sneaking theft
of Texas from Mexico, the bolder robbery of New
Mexico and California, the delendeni of. the Ostend
Manifesto, and of every atrecious,
.blotaly-inhadod
aggresslon which has disgraced our. country's
history,. now groaning , over the horrors of war
and, descanting on the Christian blessedness of
peace I What they really seek Is a rehabilita
tion of the slave power; if this war were only
making slaves Instead or emancipating them—or if
It were adding a new empire like Texas to the do

complacency its prosecution throughout the next

wherein slavery Is getting worsted. But the hatred
they affect, we feel; and wo would have the people
freshly assured that we aro struggling for national
existence against the most wicked and wanton re
bellion that the world ever saw—that, if we con

of wholesale agonies and devastations are the ne

peace.
It seems to us that the time, if It has not already

SCIENCE AND ART.
• Photographers aro acquainted with three or
four different ways in which secondary images may
appear in photographs. In the first place, when
. sensitive glass plate has served its turn as a nega
tive—as many paper positives as may bo needed
having been taken from it—the film of collodion or
other prepared surface is removed from it, and it
may then he usad for a wholly now photograph.
But it Is found that, unless groat care be used, some
faint tram of the former picture still remain, and
these may appear as a sort of ghostly attendant
upon the figure forming the second picture. One
photographer, in endeavoring to utilize an old
plate which bad fulfilled Its duty as a negative of
the into prince consort, could not wholly • erase the
imago, wash or rub as he might; there was al
ways a faint ghost of the prince accompanying any
subsequent photograph taken on the same plate.
Dr. Phipson relates that a friend of his received at
Brussels a box of glass plates, quite new and highly
polished, each wrapped in a piece of the lade
prndancc Itelge newspaper; a lady sat for her pho
tograph, taken on one of those plates, and both the
photographers and the lady wore astonished to sco
that her likeness was covered with printed charac
ters, easily to be read—the ghost of a political
article, in fact. In this case, actinic rays, as they
aro now called, had done their work before the glass
was exposed to the camera. By another mode of
manipulation, a photographer may produce a ghost
like effect at pleasure : a sitter is allowed to remain
in the focus of the camera only half the time neces.
nary to produce a complete photograph; ho slips
quickly aside, and the furniture immediately be
hind him is .then exposed to the action of the
light; se a consequence, a faint or imperfectly
developed photograph of the man appears, trans.
parent or translucent, for the furniture is visible
apparently through his body or head. With a
little tact, a really surprising effect may bo pro
duced in this way. As a third - variety, one nega
tive may be placed in contact with another, and
a particular kind of light allowed to pass through
it for a time ; there results a double picture on the
lower negative, one fainter than the other. It is
known, moreover, to the more scientific class of
photographers, that *the lens in the camera is lm-•
perfectly curved at the surfaces, spots of cloudy
light may appear in the photograph, having a
sernizhctly sort of effect:
Leutzo has nearly finished a picture represent
ing a richly 7 apparelled cavalier abjuring "for
faith's sake" the religion of his fathers. Bearing
under his arm the Mita Sacra, and in his hand a
sword, through the use of which, if necessary, to
prove his faith, he is turning from tho
argu
ing priest, who sits, surrounded by heavy tomes,
before a table; from the aged "mother in the
church," who, with head bowed upon her hands,
is weeping, and oven from the pleadings of the
young girl who hangs upon his arm, and
with pale countenance and tearful eyes gazes
into his face, prepared to go forth, a Pro
testant absolved from all allegiance to the
Catholic Church. This picture, to - ono standing
before it, requires no explanation; It tells Its own
story in a clear and unmistakable manner. The
stern, Unrelenting countenance of the priest, as ho
promulgates the punishment which will follow, both
here and hereafter, this act of apostacy ; the deep
abandonment to sorrow of the woman, shown more
in her prostrate form than in her face, which is partly
hidden from view; the frightened and supplicating
looks of the young girl, and the decided but troubled
expression, not unmingled with hope and triumph,
in the countenance of the young man himself, ate
forcibly portrayed. The accessories of the picture,
the great fireplace with Its carved wood-work and
the fire blaring in its recess, the silver salvors and
tankards on the beaufet, tho dress of the young girl,
and the cloth spread over the table, aro carefully
rendered. In the composition of the work, and the
pOse and management of the figures, Leutze has
rarely been more successful.—New York EL:ening

The lectures of M. Joly, on spontaneous :gene.

hearers as did those of Ronan, Minot, or Michelet,
at the College of France. The problem which he
tries to solve has been debated in all ages. It has a
place in Aristotle's works. The Fathers speak of
it, and it was the subject of hot and absurdly subtle
• disputes in the middle ages, when most literal sense
was attached to the Biosaic account of the Creation.

All three have brought forward most ingenious argu

The value of soap -suds as a stimulant of vege

measures. When it is nut convenient to apply it in

-of using it—it should be absorbed by some material

loads of manure, suitable for the support and suste..

small expense. Tho highly putrescent character of

In France, tho waste steam from the engine,
instead of being allowed to escape into the air, is
conducted from the escape pipe by means of a vul
canized India rubber tube, to copper pipes, through
which it circulates under the seats and 'flooring of
the cais. .As soon as the train is sot In Motion the
steam begins to .circulate through the pipes, and
warms the cars, first, second, and third-class equally ;
and being connected with each other by India rub
ber tubing, they can be immediately detached or re
united at pleasure. In a trial of this plan on the
Lyons line, two thermometers placed in first-class
cars marked sixty degrees Fahrenheit during the
whole journey; and in the second and third-class
cars, also, the temperature was found to bo suffi
ciently elevated to allow of the longest winter's
journey being accomplished without discomfort to
the travellers.
—A new method for restoring pictures, which was
lately invented by Professor Pettenkofor, has, we'
learn, been patented in England. Having examined
several paintings of great age, Professor Petten
kofer found that the indistinct appearance was due
to a want of cohesion on the part of the molecules
of the paint, by reason'of which they separated from
each other and produced 'small fissures, thus de
stroylng the power of 'reflecting lighb.. l :. His remedy •
is, therefore, a meet:alike' ratherdhan a physical
one;aud. consists In exposing the picture, which is
previously laid out upon a flat metallic surface, to
a mixture of atmospheric air and alcohol vapor.
The latter penetrates the old paint, softens its
molecules, and thus allowing them to cohere, once
more enables the surface to reflect light asst did at
first, and it:Stores It to its primitive condition.

The following Interesting letter from Mr. Donald

"To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser:
• "Gn2laszirEzr: Raving seen an article copied into
some of our Boston papers from a New York jour

might, require. The superiority of their artillery
has been tested in the contest between the Rear

stages of advancement, Some of them not nearly
completed, the expense of .the contemplated im

been led to Suppose. Captain Ericsson,
who, with
others, has the matter in charge, is well known to

resilient in relatbm to the movements of the Navy
Department on account of the depredations of the
Alabama, Florida,• and Georgia; but if the facts
were generally known they would show that the
power of these vessels has been greatly exag
gerated. In a letter to Senator Grimes, which you
published, a short time since, I boldly asserted
that' the Alabama was inferior in speed and fight
ing qualities to our sloops of war—the truth
of which was 'olearly demonstrated in the re
cent' glorious naval combat. The difficulty
..has not been a want of vessels of the right class to
destroy these British rovers, but to obtain sight of
them. It is my deliberate opinion that almost any
of our sloops could easily overhaul the Florida in a
-twelve hours'.run, and bring her to action. The
'accounts of her great speed, from the size of the

l And. her well-known motive power, aro entirely
.hacerrect. Ido not believe she can be driven more

_more than two or three hours at a time. If the pub
lic will only exercise a little patience. they will
find that the Navy Department has not
neglected its- duty in this hour of. our na
tional struggle, and that in the designs of even the
lightdraft monitors it has acted with more skill
than many have believed. These vessels were a
bold experiment—an innovation' upon all previous
notions of iron -clads, and could not be expected to
be wholly perfect at first, but I am confident that
without change from the first design they would be
most valuable for home defence. To make them
available for action in Southern waters, In all wea

Virginia ac Blue Laws, ,, 1663.
The Roston Transcript of Friday contains the fol
lowing communication :
Wo have all beard more or less of the "Blue
Laws" of' Connecticut and of the "Black Code" of
the Senth. Bat I did not know till since the pre
sent war commenced that any such religio-legal
. enactments had over been made by the Southern
chivalry of the Ditch-land, as we have 'understood
by this term of "Blue Laws:" Some two years
since, a soldier of the Potomac army, on entering
the court house In Warrick county, Va., found the
old records of the court, which be forthwith confis
cated and sent to me • two pages, from which the
following itenis are copied.
The paper is quite thick, and measures 16 by 10
inches. The chirography Is peculiar, and there aro
twenty-six entries of.decislons mado by that court,
under the date of October 21, 1653. This MS. is in
teresting, not only from its remote antiquity, but
.also on account of the Information which It gives us
as to the religious and legal manners of our South
ern neighbors two hundred years ago. Witness the
following :
"Mr. John Harlow, and Alice, his wife being by
the grand inquest presented for absenting them
selivsis from church, aro, according to the act, fined
each of them fifty pounds of tobacco, and the said
ldr.. John Harlow ordeeed forthwith to pay one hun

presented.for not 'tending church, is according to
actdined Dfty pounds of tobacco, and the sheriff is

"Jihn Lewis, his wife this day refusing to take

take the said oath, or, until further ordered to the

"R . !abort Reynolds, being prosecuted for absentia

" George . .liarWoodreelog prosecuted for his ab

"Peter White and lilLwife being presented for

to distress." -
" Richard Ring, being. presented as a common
swearer, Is fined fifty pounds of tobacoo, VS be levied
by the sheriff; by way of distress, upon his non
payment."
From all I can learn there was.but one "church"
in Virginia in 1663, and that was the English; or
what is now the Protestant Episcopal, Church,.
and'it was for non-attendance on this church Bog,
the 'fine of fifty, pounds of tobacco was inilloted.bp7

chivalrous.ilesccndants of the race that passed those

to taunt vs-with tho memory of "blue laws," as if
none .such had ever been enacted except by the

we learn that this weed was not only a staple com

THE TWEETT-itten GUN.—The groat twenty-
Inch army gun recently finished at the Fort Pitt
Works has been placed upon the trucks which
were built expressly by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, at their shops in Altoona, to convey
it to Its destination. W 0 have already described
these trucks, which are conatructed In the ordinary
manner, with the exception that everything about
them is of the most substantial material, and a
bridge extends over both trucks, the ends resting
upon heavy beams across the centre of each truck.
Before the immense mass of metal was Buttered
to rest upon the bridge, strong props were placed
under the beams, as a precautionary measure, and
so severely are these props taxed that it is now un
certain whether they can be removed at all. It, is
feared that if they are knocked from under the
beams the trucks will break down or become so
strained as to render them unsafe. The gun has re
mained in this awkward position, in front of the
works, for twenty-four hours past, and we are not
advised as to what course will be pursued. The
general Impression is that the trucks have proved
n failure. One of the reasons alleged is, that they
have not been properly hoesohained ; but the
skilled workmen who designed them wilt hardly
concede this point, eaten upon the most satis
factory evidence. In the meantime, the "big gun"
Is visited by hundreds, who can got a full and
satisfactory view of it gratis. It was weighed on
the new mammoth scales erected at the works for
that purpera, and was found to contain 116,497
Pounds, or a fraction over.filty.eieht tons. Juveniles,
need from ten to fifteen years, were amusing them
selves, to-day, in crawling into the bore on their
hands and knees.. A good-sized family, including
pa and ma; could find shelter in the gun—and it
would be a capital place to hide in case of a bom
bardment. Those of our citizens who have not yet
seen the biggest of the big guns, can now have a
favorable opportunity, as, from present appearances,
it will be some time before It "goes oft.'
The twenty-inch navy gun, recently east at the
Fort Pitt Works, is now in the turning lathe, and is
slowly but surely coming into shape.—Pifisburg Ga

BIECHANIcAL TASTES There are boys to whom
the . blacksmith's forge and the machine-shop are
irresistible attractions. . Often such tastes are sti
fled at once by ambitious parents, and the result is
that nonentity "a clerk"—st young man who, with
out special commercial instincts, is grafted in the
tree of commerce, never takes to It kindly, and is
ever after a sapless sort of twig. Sometimes the
would-be mechanic is put "in a law office," and
once In while is sent to "study for the church."
The result is at the best deporabie mediocrity.
Henry alaudsley one of the most eminent of
English mechanics, (whose death was recently
reported,) had this mechanical instinct strik
ingly developed. His father was a Carpen
ter, but young Maudsley himself was much
fonder of working In iran, and would often excite
the anger of the foreman by stealing off to an ad
joining smithy. He urged so hard for the change
that when fifteen years old he was transferred from
the carpenter's to the blacksmith's shop. Here he
became an expert worker In metal, and was soon
quite noted for forging "trivets" with great speed
and skill, the old experienced hands gathering
round to admire him when at this work. They had
In this shop—which belonged to the naval works of
Woolwich—a very accommodating superintending
officer, who would blow his nose in a peculiar man
ner when approaching, so that all forbidden jobs—
and catkin " trivets" was one of them—might be
put out of the way by the time he entered the shop.
When a boy has the innate love for his trade that
alaudsley had—and thousands of American youths

THE REBEL RAID urow THE CALAIS BANK.—
We are indebted to a gentleman of this city for
the following extract from a private letter, dated
Calais, Me., July 18:
" We had quite an exciting time hero to-day.
Lest 'week notice wits sent here that, a party of
rebels had left St. John, for Calais, for the purpose
of reobing the bank. They arrived at St. Stephen
on Thursday, the 14th. One of them made -him
self known to our city marshal as a detective, em
ployed by our consul at St. John, to watch such
fellows, and he has kept, us postedfas to the move
ments of the party, so that we have been prepared
to give them a warm reception. A store nearly
opposite the bank is used as arendezvous for soldiers.
Last Saturday we were informed by the detective
that the party (four in number) were to rob the bank
• to-day. Their plan was to go into the bank in busi
ness hours, stab the cashier, secure the money, and
then flee to the other side of the ricer, to Queen
Vie's dominions. The preparationsimade for • them
were ample. A guard of twenty-five men, armed
with guns end revolvers, were stationed In the Store
opposite the bank, another in the rear of the bank,
and a third at another point, while a party of four
were in the bank. At a quarter past twelve o'clock
the rebels entered the bank and wanted to exchange
gold for greenbacks.. At that moment our force re
vealed themselves with pistols in hand, and at tho
same moment the outehle force rushed in. The robbers
saw that they were taken, and offehil nO resistance.
They were examined before our Police Court this
afternoon and held to bail in the sum of $40,000 to ap
pear at the October term of the court in Machias ;
failing to find ball, they have been sent to Machias
for safe keeping. They confessed that they were to
rob the bank and afterwards burn the city, and that
there are thirty more of them not. far off. We have
a strong guard of 180 rifles, and 2 six-pounders, and
we think we can manage them. Thus has happily
ended the first act of what might have been very
sad in its consegnences.—Providence Journal.
Frucrioa - Alavencs.—The manufacture of fric
tion matches 'was begun in this country in - 1835.
The Germans claim to have discovered the process
at about the same time, and ft is probable that, like
many other discoveries and inventions, both parties
developed the idea simultaneously. One firm In
Boston, engaged in this business, consume at their
different factories fire thousand cords of wood per
annum, mostly sapling pine. They matutfaeture
fauvism million Jour hundred and forty thousand
matches per day, and under the new law, which re
quires a one-cent stamp for each bunch, they will
pay a tax of $1,400 per day, or nearly four hundred
' and fifty thousand dollars per annum. The revenue
' which the Government will derive throushont the
country, from this apparently small branch of ma
nufactures. *ill not be less than three and a half
million per annum.
moue_ Pommel , Flnz.S.—On.Wedneaday evening
laEt.• the - air in the• vicitity of. Ogsfensburg, N. Y.,
was filled with ashes, and for some time had the ap
pearance of a light snow storm. The wind at tho
time was blowing from the northwest, and they
must have come from miles away in Canada. About
nightfall dense clouds of smoke passed over the
town, indicating that heavy fires were raging in the
forest on the opposite side of the St. Lawrence. In
Wayne and adjoining counties, as far eastward as
Rome, there has been within the last few days a
great destruction of proporty by fires in the woods.
Large quantities of timber; cord-wood, growing
crops, and buildings have been destroyed at various
points. How these fires originate is not stated. The
woods are very dry, and it needs but a lighted
match applied to make a great conflagration.
A (RESAT ROBBERT.—William W. Lynda, of
Vermont, went to. Boston with a pile of money to
buy substitutes. He fell into the hands of rogues,
two of whom, furnished with drugged liquor, ac
companied hint home on the last train up on Tues
day evening. While under the influence of the
drugged liquor ho was robbed, between Orange and
Erving, of ten thousand two hundred dollars. The
two rogues accompanying him left' the ears nt Er
ving, and went back to Orange where they stopped
over night. Lynde discovered ' his loss at Grout's,
and wont back to Orange early in the morning.
The rogues espied him before he reached the hotel,
and jumped out of window. One, Thomas Slur
ray, sprained his ankle and could not run, was ar
rested, and $5,500 found of the lost 'money. The
other rogue escaped with his share of the booty.
Murray, in default of $16,000 bail, was sent to jail.
. .
GOLD AND CONPSDEEATE OURRENCT.—A. cor
respondent with the army writes as follows: "Some
time ago the 45th Pennsylvania. Regiment
found a pot of silver and gold, amounting to ton
thousand dollars In all. Many of tho Union sol
diers bought a. portion of it at a alight premium.
During . some of the forbidden interviews which of
ten occur between the pickets of the two hostile ar
mies, the Federals would show a handful of silver
and gold to the rebels, with—' Do you fellows got
paid off with these little fellows 1- We do. IYe just
liot paid four months , pay.' The story spread like
re among the Confederates ; they were wild for
buying gold and Silver ; $lO, 815, $2O, $"2 and even
$3O in Confederate currency, was offered for one
dollar of gold ; but the Union soldiers declined to
take the worthless rags of the Confederacy."—Bor

A DISCOVERY.—The Malta, Timessays: As some
workmen, employed in making a new road to the
Cathedral at Rabato, in the Island of Gozo, near
Malta, wore digging in the ditch under the western
wall of the fort they.came on a line of cellars la the
solid rock. Dr. Vassalo and Dr. Adams went to the
spot, and found upward of twenty-four circular ca
verns. much like grain fosses. They vary in height
from five to nine feet, and are about the same in di
ameter. Sorne of them were cleaned out, but no relics
were found. There is every reason to conclude that
they were used merely as temporary hiding-places
for tho inhabitants during the fourteenth century,
and subsequently, when those islands were subject to
the incursions of Algerian pirates and Mo.homo
dans. As antiquarian relics, they are not allay
great importance.
JOAN MORMEBET, the notorious gambler and
prize-tighter, who was in this city for two or three
days previous to the boat race, for the purpose of
getting bets, is said .to be one of the shrewdest and
'most successful gamblers in the United States.
How he succeeded here, we have no moons of know
ing, but it Is asserted that he had $lO,OOO deposited
tolls order hero, and that he bet freely. Since he
loft New York two . suite have been instituted
against him there to recover money lost in gam
bling. One of these claims is for, $11,750, and the
other for 6 4 n,000.—Pilistourg paper.

TEE sufferings- of the loyal people or Missouri
are becoming unendurable. It is estimated that
forty Union citizens hay.o boon murdered in cold

the last four weeks, and it is proposed In some or
the newspapers that an armed mass meetingof the
loyal men of Northwest Missouri be shortly hold,
each man to bring with him twenty days' rations,
for the purpose of organizing a combined movement
against the marauders.

HEAVY RAIN fell In front of Petersburg . last
Tuisday, but the dust In the roads, that had accu

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
The money market Is growing easier, and there Is
no disposition to borrow money to commence new
speculations. The late determination of the banks
to lessen the amount of the loans, especially to par
ties known to be engaged in speculating in the ne
cessaries of life, is having a good effect. Speculators
are beginning to learn that they cannot depend
upon the banks to assist them In keeping up prices
for above their legitimate level. /

Judge Beckwith, of the Supreme Court of Mi.
Mils, has given an opinion adverse to the legality of
the proposed consolidation of the Chicago and
Great Eastern Railroad Company with the Galena
and Illinois River Railroad Company. Ito says
the latter corporation has no authority under its
Charter to extend the track to the State line, and
that the first-named company, which was created
by the Legislature of Indiana, has no legal rights
or existence in the State of Illinois.
