Capt. II, having use for consider
able quautity Of coal, purchased ! his
years supply at Chattanooga, which
has been delivered at the Moores-
vile depot, by the Rail Road, a dis
lance Of some 100 miles. Thence
TO Athens, soma Il miles, the cost
OF hauling it in wagons over dirt

original costsof the coal, including
the freight upon the Rail Road,
thus doubling the cost Of The article
by its transportation the distance Of

Abolition CenclaYe.

The Massachusetts Anti-Slavefy
Society; 10 its session in-Boston Fri
day last, was thearena of some pref
'ty-intense talking, as will be seen by
the following ebullitiou on the part
Of one FL. c. Wright.
For myself lam heartily sick Of
hearing people talk Of holy Bibles
holy churches holy institutions,
etc. The institutions must be pre-
served whatever becomes Of the man;
not only four millions Of slaves have
been sanctified, but the whole nation
has been sanctified. We should not
trouble ourselves about God aside
from those we owe to humanity
{ | won't respect God who does Eot
respect me. If love any thing it
must be because that thing is lovea-
bic and not for any other reason
I 1t is the sacred duty of every one
to be true to himself Ito be faithful
to his own nature. BE true TO your
self wherever you are, ever booking
Ito be higher self. Life is absolute
ly sacred under all circumstances
This is my doctrine but not one in
ten thousand agrees with me. Hen
ry Ward Beecher and the republican
party generally say that Sharpe's ri
file is the bestand only salvation for
Kansas! Why Dot make efforts to
put the bowie knife aud revolver in
to the hands Of the slaves. In my
opinion the slave has just as.good a
right to cut the throat Of bis mas
Ter, as Washington had to plant his
cannon on Dorchester heights and
pour his shot into Boston. IF nv

slave rose against Der to defend bis

A DOVE ALIGHTING ON A CoFFIN.-
In Edinburgh,a few days ago,a respect
able family in one Of the quietest
quarters of the city were thrown into
mourning by the death Of one of their
number, an elderly LADY. A night or
two after the event a strange noise
was heard at the window ofthe room
where the coffiu was lying. Il seemed
like the futtering fthe wings of a
bird against the window panes; and,
when the maid servant appeared at
the window forthe purpose Of raising
it to examine into the cause of tie
noise; beautiful white dove flew into
the apartment and alighted. upon the
lid Of the coffin. 1t offered no oppo-
sition when they attempted to secure
it, and is now the possession Of the
relatives Of the deceased lady, who
from the singulari.y Of the circum-
stances, have resolved to preserve it
car fully. Had the event happened
in times past, when'superstition held
sway, it would undoubtedly have Civ
en- rise to some strange imaginings
relative to the departed. = Edinburgh

The Inauguration.

80 At II A. NJ, yesterday, the Hall of the
House of Representatives in the State Cap
itol, was filled with very large concourse
of citizens and strangers, among whom there
was brilliant array of the beauty of the
city and State, to witness the ceremonies
of the Inauguration of Gen. HARRIS, as
Governor. The students of the Western
Military Institute, were ont in full uniform
and with music, adding much to the ecl0t
of the occasion. At IL, precisely the Spea-
ker Of the Senate with Gen HARRIS, and
the Speaker of the House, with Gov JOHN
SON, entered the Hall, and took their places
on the Speakers stand. Music followed,
and then an eloquent prayer by the Rev
r. B. G. HOWELL.
Gov. Johnson delivered short valedic-
tory on vacating the Office; and was fol-
lowed by the inaugural address of Gov.
HARRIS We have not space to give these
productions place in our columns this
morning, but will make room for them to-
morrow
The oath of Office was then administered
by Chancellor FRIERsoN to the Governor
elect, and the ceremonies were closed by a
benediction by Rev Dr. HOWELL.

AYnInnbIe InventIon.

The following reference TO cotton gin re-
Gently invented, and now on exhibition at the
Ohrystal Palace, New York, we find in the
correspondence of the National Intelligenoer.
If it should prove successful, it will greatly
enhance the production Of cotton, ''the King"
of the staples and commerce of the world.
'sHitherto the Yankees have been allowed the
palm 10 all matters of Invention, but OF late there
has been "quckening" amongst the men Of The
South, aud they find their interest to give their
attention 10 laoOr-savug machines. One OF the
most useful Of these inventions is nov In success
full operation at the Crystal Palace. IL is cotton
gin, invented by Mr.. q. q. Henry, OF Alabama, by
which cotton is ginued in the field leaving all the
rubbish behind without the iabog and expense Of
hauling IT, Many Of the prominent planters have
given it their decided appreciation. Instead Of
getting but twelve cents per pound for the raw
material, they can realize almost double that a..
mount by the use OF the newly invented 6eld gin
and spinner. This is no mere puff Of an untris
machine. II is thus spoken Of after an actual
inspection of results."

BARNUM's HOTEL,
Baltimore, Oct. 81 1871

Hon Thomas Sloann.
Mayor Of Baltimore:
SIR: -RepFesentations from large number OF
most respectable ctizans OF the condition OF things
in this city, added to my own conviction OF my
constitutional duty, impose upon me the o"lS M
respectfully to consult you, as the mayor OF Tue
city, as to what provision should be made oy you 70
guarantee personal security and the Tree exercise
Of suffrlge by the legal voters at the approaching
election. The events of October, 1886, both at
the Municipal and Presidential election, and the VI
Olence at the recent Municipal election, which
practically disfranchized many thousands OF the
qualified native and naturalized voters of this City,
conclusveIy establish the inadequacy Of the exis-
ting city police to secure the elective rights and
the personal safety of the voters. The citizen has
a right to good government. He surrenders his
individual power Of defence and pays his property
dues in consideration of the pledge made that he
shall enjoy it. And am resolute in the determn-
alton to exert any constitutional power to fulfil the
guarantee.
SubordinateIy. you are, ike myself, sworn in
your sphere to put forth your powers in this be-
half, and have come to the city to confer with
you and ascertain what provision of extraordi-
nary character you propose TO make to meet ap-
pretended disorders OF character like those which
have heretofore successfully defed the ordinary
police force of the city. I shall be most happy if
you can assure me of any detailed preparation on
your part which will allay my solictude and certify
me that the citizen may not have the occasion TO
reproach US as derect in duty.
It will never do for great commercial Metropo-
lis like this to be dishonOred by the unchecked vi
oence of mobs, and it is necessary that the civil
power shoul at once bring under subsection those
evil-minded citizens whose acts furnishing the
honor of the city an State, and destroying the
prosperity OF our commercial, mechanical and man.
ufacturing interests.
Not doubling that you concur with me in these
sentiments, and will appreciate the sense Of off
Icial dutV from which I invite pn-ODRratjOD
have addressed you this letter, and ask most re
specially an immediate reply.
Very respectfully, your Ob't serv't,
T. WATKINS LIGON.
