The Board Of Supervisors are in

very good appointment.

have good turn out. +lta. @
....A few days before the Fair was
held certain individual in this town
said, that he was not going to give
anything at the Fair. no not he. He
would not please few individuals who
"got It up" enough to give them one
cent. This was pretty cold talk, yet it
was emphatic, and those who heard it
thought it meant something. The Fair
came, and with it some little excitement
This we suppose electrified the nerves
or expanded the conscience or perhaps
both, Of this individual, for he was seen
in tho afternoon to walk up to the Treas
urcr, and heard to say "IIere I will
give yon one dollar, that I think is my
rars-don't want anything for it-.don't
want to eat it up as some Of them do
After being politely thanked by the
Treasurer, he retired a shor, distance
and after little conversation with by.
ISLANDERS returned to the Treasurer and
said he guessed he had not given quite
enough" "Guess I'll give you another
dollar" and the dollar was given, aud
the donor left the room, doubtless

enlarged his patriotism, excited his
zeal, aud awakened his conscience to

he felt again that more should be given

and acting accordingly in few minutes
he finds himself before the Treasurer ex

to what he has already given. lie now
leaves thinking perhaps, that he has
fully done his duty and quoted his
conscience this time. Not so the little

BRUTAL GUERRILLA MURDER IN TEN
NEssRB.-A correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial writes from Tullahoma,
Tenn, giving the following account of a
rebel atrocity perpetrated, on the even
ing of the 23d utimo near that place on
party of foragers under command of
Lieutenant Porter, of the 9th Indiana
regiment:
They went to Lincoln county, got
loaded up, and were on the way to camp
for the night. The train was divided +,
one-half, under Sergeant James of the
battery, was in camp about one mile
ahead; Lieut. Porter, with the rear part
of the train, was making for the same
place. There was one wagon consider
ably ahead of the others, accompanied
by the following party Geo. Jacobs,
driver John Wesley Drought and New
ell circuit, foragers; and James W.
Foley battery agon-master-when they
We're bounced on by four guerrillas and
told to surrender or they would blow
their brains out. They, being unarmed
could make no successful resistance
Lieutenant Porter then came riding up
when he was seized also. They were
then taken through the woods some
eight miles, and halted to camp as the
guerillas said, for the night. They then
tied their hands behind their backs,
asked if they were ready, and fired when
all fell except the Lieutenant, who being
uninjured ran. The bodies were then
dragged TO the end of the bluff and
thrown into Elk river. Drought was
killed instantly His body floated down
and lodged on tree top. Jacobs was
only wounded in the arm, and was
drowned. Orcutt was shot through the
bowels, and managed to get out of the
river, but died the next day. Foley got
his hands loose and got ashore, but be-
ing severely wounded in the groin, lay
near the river all night, where he was
found next day by q citizen, and properly
cared for until we sent after him. He is
uow in the hospital here, doing we'll.
Lieutenant Porter has got back, his feet
badly frozen and his ankle sprained, he
having had to swim Elk river twice"

lhrckbishop Hughes.

John Hughes, Archbishop of New
York, who died on Saturday evening,
was born in the North of Ireland, in
1898, and was consequently sixty-five
years of age. He was first ordained in
Philadelphia, in 1925, and was settled in
parish in that city. His theological
discussions with Rev. John Breckenridge
brought his name prominently before the
public. In 1889, he was appointed Adj
ministrator to the diocese and, in 1912.
he succeeded to the dignity of Bishop
In lS46 he went to Europe and procured
the services of some of the Jesuits, Chris
tan Brothers and Sisters of Mercy. In
1850, New York was made an arch-epis-
copal see, and he went to Rome to re-
ceive the pallium at the hands of the
Pope In 1854 he went to Rome again
to attend the definition of the dogma of
the immaculate conception. On his re-
turn, he had the famous controversy with
Erastus Brooks, growing out of the
Church property question. In August.
1898, he laid the corner stone of the new
cathedral at the corner of Fifth avenue
and Fitty-first street His public servi-
ces during the rebellion are too recent to
require mention

STEAM OUTposE--The Tribune states
that Capt John Reeves of New York, Is
the inventor and patentee Of an electric
magnetic rotary engine, for producing
motive power by electricity, TO any ex-
tent and for any purpose required. The
inventor in his experiments, has dis
covered, and is now prepared to verify
the fact that electricity can be diffnsed
over surfaces TO the extent OF hundreds
tfslperfcial feet, and thereby cause an
electric magnetic attraction, which acts
on, and sets in motion the most powerful
machinery for producing motive power;
and this at most reasonable expense for

From THE Sourn.--The Richmond En-

From THE SouTH.-The Richmond En-
quirer, JEFF Davis immediate organ and
unquestioning adherent, has lately given
up all attempts to put a good face ON the
Confederate condition, and upon the
ground, perhaps, that desperate diseases
require desperate remedies, tells the reb-
els that unless good many things quite
beyond the Confederate power TO do) are
done their case is hopeless,
II tells them, for instance, that unless
the Confederate finances are put I'M bet
ter condition, 1t is all up with them; and
again, it tells them that the proposed
universal rebel CONSUMPTION will work
the quick ruin of the rebel fabric. II
asks
"Why are there now 100000 strag-
,~,ers from our armies Why has 1t oc-
ssnr,> It that over go per cent Of the men
an tbs n,pster-roll have, in one instance

were called into war, depopplatlng q
slaveholding people, with slaves Glready
pretty Thoroughly demoralized Why eN-
| tend the age so as to take in those une-
quail to the hardships Of war ~
And goes on to say
Besides the incalcuable injuries that
would in every way result from whole
| sale CONSUMPTION, the agricultural inter
ests of the country would be wholly neg
lected. Negroes, left to themselves, will
not make even their own support. The
next year would be one truly of famine,
Already we are experiencing the trials of
scanty provisions. The greatest suffer
ing felt in our army is from this cause.
The want of food with their families at
home is the cause of over half the deser
tons. 1t would be a good policy now
to detail every skillful farmer and over
seer from the ranks aud put them TO
| raising provisions.
Congress cannot act with too much
elaboration on these measures \ re
fined sense of honor and fervent spirit
of liberty are the characteristics of our
Southern people. In our dealings abroad
we have endeavored to preserve unques-
toned our claim to these sentiments
Shall they be disregarded in our dealings
at home Shall we fill our treasury by
force, and the first step towards adding
to the army be by fraud Shall we
commence by repudiating the debt OF
the one and denying contracts with ex-
empts from the other? Where will such
policy carry us? We may yet realize
from such false steps now, the vision d
our country struggling in the slough
of debt with labor resting on her rusted
implements, commerce furling her wings

the Genius of Liberty weeping over her
people, PROSTATE. bankrupt, and dis

IMPORTANT GUsBoAT EXPEDITION IN
FLoRIDA-The Key West correspondent
OF the New York Herald gives an ac-
count of the destruction of extensive
rebel salt works and the town of st, An
drew's City by recent gunboat expedi-
ton. The buildings of which there
were great numbers, were set on fire.
furnaces were torn to pieces, many wag-
ons loaded with salt or produce were
stripped Of their contents; some OF the
captured white men were set to work to
destroy their own property. But the
unklndest cut of all was the stampede
OF contrabands. 1t took two DAYS to
complete the destruction, so extensive
were the works Four companies of
rebel soldiers, guarding them were rea-
dlly scattered, and portion of them
captured. The damage to the rebels is
estimateda at nearly three million dollars.
st. Andrews City, the headquarters of the
rebel troops, was shelled, and completely
burned down A number of contrabands
were taken, one of whom was free ne
gro, who had been captured by the reb-
els at the first Bull Run battle and sold
In Alabama, after which he was taken TO
Florida and set to work making salt.
As soon as he was assured that he was
once more free and under the protection
OF the stars and stripes, be fell on his
knees, crying like a child and eiacula-
ting, "Thank God God bless the dear
old Union
The condition of the people of that
part Of Florida is represented as pitiable

for the support of life is incredibly scarce
and dear, while the commonest article of
household use can scarcely be had
