The gsccIuse Reclaimed.

We published short time ago an occount,
copied from the Florence (Ala) Gazette, of
the capture of wild man, who was found in
cave near the Muscle Shoals on Tennessee
liver The Gazette of the OH inst. refers to its
former article, and gives the sequel of the
story as follows. 1t is quite Interesting
We gave the name of the unfortunate indi.
vidual as Goring. Our article attracted. the
attention of Mr., Goring, the father Of thu. poor
outcas i, Who resides in Knox county, L cum
From the description, as well as from rlforma-
tion received through D letter, the sold man
was satisfied thatit was his son, who had been
absent nearly seven years and when asst heard
of was In this vicinity. and although poor fee.
be, and bent beneath the eight Of 81 xtvvears.
he sci out for the purpose Of fndlng and re-
claiming him if possible. He arriv ed in Flor
ence ON Wednesday morning last, nearly ex-
hausted from fatigue and excite mrnt. We
were present when the old man W as told oflb
finding and capture of his son; and the recital
caused him 10 weep like child. Ne volun.
Etarily offered him our aid, and in colnpany with
him aud two others we set out for Bainbridge
the foot Of Muscle Shoals. where Young
Goring was stationed. On arriving, the old
man FASTENED to where his son was standing
He offered him his hand and asked him If he
knew him. The son gazod at him and an.
swered he did, and called him father, while
The Old man again wcpt as il his heart wouId

sation, and after some pers, aston he agreed to
return home with his father We came to
town IN company with the father and son, and
the young man gave very interesting history
OF his HE and the cause which induced him To
to withdraw from the W orld and seek the Sc
cluslon ofthe woods. lie said that those he
worked for would not pay him, and the world
generally had treated him badly, and being
naturally melancholy and retiring, had concu-
ded to shut himself out from the world. He
regretted his conduct and said he would have
come in long before he was caught, but was
ashamed OF the tattered garments he was clad
in. He says his mind was never impaired but
he always stunned society and had an invol
untary shrinking at theAapproach of man, and
this feeling had grown on him during his wild
adventures in the woods. In company with
his father he left for home yesterday morning,
and we trust he will soon see his aged mother
and other relations who are now anxiousy
looking for his arrival.

Tun TEHUANrEPEo TREATy.-The arrival
from Mexico Of Major Sturbide, the son Of the
Empcrorhaa been heretofore announced. He
is the bearer ofthe treaty recently negotinted
by Judge Conkling with the Mexican authori
lilies, on the subject Of the Tabuantrpec com.
mnnicntion. in connection with what Is known
as the Sloo grant. This grant having originally
been made by the President, Cayollos, after he
was depose1 by Congress, has been thought
10 be Of doubtful validity; we presume howev.
er TINT. the present, treaty when ratified, will
embrace final adjustment Of all the issues in.
voved.
It's said that Santa Anna favors the present
grant and treaty, because the Company IS
chiefly Mexicans.
A correspondent Of the New YoIk Herald
gives the following synopsis Of the treaty.
First-The persons employed aud the pro
perty invested, To he projected by both gov
ernments SO that the transit oil passengers and
everything else, shall be open and free at all
times,and The property invested therein secure
Second-Every part of the way of commu
nlcatlon shalt lie neutral, under the guarantee
~
the contract.
Third-Mexico i, toimposc no regulations
10 cause delay.
Fonnh-Both governments are to prevent
the company from imposing onerous rates Of
freight.
FiIlh-The subject Of Transportation of u. S.
| 'toops or munitions of war is to be arranged
by IA separate convention.
Sixth-No passports or letters Of security
are required by the passengers.
Seventh-Al questions that cannot be set.
tied by the two governments between them
selves are 10 be submitted To the arbitration %
friendly government. Ifnot settled within
"A ycarthe u. States may withdraw lis guaran
tee of neutrality if 1t thinks fiji.
BY comparing this synopsis OF the treaty
with the Sloo grant many important discrcpan-
cics will be discovered, making the treaty muc a
more liberal Than the grant.
