is no more than ST. The soldier who

steadily dwindles from desertion and the
hardships of the service and there is no
reserve whence to recruit it, for the des-
perate experiment of freeing and arming
the negroes is given up-not from defer
ence to the rights Of the shareholders,
but because it is seen and felt that, tho
negroes will fight and fight well, they will
not fight to uphold Slavery. So there is

NUMBER 4J
Eastward from Atlanta.

From Atlanta to Augusta, by railroad,
is III miles. From Augusta to Charles
ton, 137 miles. From Atlanta to Macon,
103 miles From Macon to Savannah,
1872 miles. The country from Atlanta to-
ward Augusta isquite rolling, and, in pla-
ces, rocky, with plenty of small streams
and springs, aud abundance of wood and
forage for an army. 1t is really we'll
settled farming country. There are but
few swamps, and the roads generally are
good. The only serious distractions that
the inhabitants could place in the way Of
an army would be in the destruction of
the bridges over the Savannah at Angus
If they do that the army could turn
its attention first upon Savannah instead
of Charleston, or it could e-bridge the
river without any serious delay. The
country between Augusta and Charleston
is not as good as toward Atlanta. Part.
of it is enhabited by poor sandhillcrs|
and part of it is very sparsely inhabited:
From Branchville-the point where the
railroads from Augusta and Columbia
unte-to Charleston, G2 miles, the coun-
try is very fiat, with good deal of swamp,
and in summer time is so miasmatic that
settlements are sparse, though there are
some large plantations, and when cotton
was king, there werea great many slaves
kept at work upon all the dry spots of
this swampy region. 1t is not bad one
to march through in cool weather. 1t
would be deadly in Summer. Immedi-
ately around Charleston the land is very
fiat, sandy or swampy.
The road from Augusta to Columbia,
the capitol of South Carolina, is q across
the ridges which are generally low,
sand hills, and over small streams, the
borders of which are cultivated by small
cotton planters and farmers, who keep a
good deal of stock, and have plenty of
grain and sweet potatoes. The Congaree
River, at Columbia, is a respectable sized
mill stream, nothing more, and SO is the
Wateree, eastward of it, and so are the
two Pedees, and i an army ever has to
march from Augusta to Wilmington, il
will find no serious Instructions in the
way, except in time of high water,
when every small stream overhows its low
banks and covers broad swamp. The
whole way is good country for an army
to march and subsist in. The distance
from Augusta to Columbia is about eighty
miles, and from Columbia to Wilmington,
n c., about two hundred miles. Some
of the richest cotton planters of South
Carolina are found along the rivers, which
such a march would cross.-N Y. Trib-

A HIDDEN TREAsURE.-The Empe-
ror Maximilian, says German journal,
has a chance of digging out hidden
treasure The highly romantic story is
as follows: When Napoleon |. dethroned
the Bourbons in Spain, the MexicanS
(whose eyes had been opened by Hum
boldt to the fact that they were a nation
Of seven millions, and subdued by eighty
thousand Spaniards,) became encouraged,
and threw off the Spanish yoke. The
Vice King sent, during the revolution,
four millions gold pieces, together with
other numerous treasures to Madrid This
happened in June, 1903. The escort
was, however. attacked by one thousand
men and massacred, save one cavalry Off
Ger and few of his men, who octed in
concert with the robbers. To avoid the
vigilance Of the Government, the bandits
concluded to hide the treasure in the
ground, ana to divide it after the expi-
ration of one year. At the foot Of pre-
cipice one thousand feet high, Of hollow
deep in the mountain, was. cave; there
the treasure was dragged the cave walled
up by the rocks, the interstices filed with
earth and plants, and finally, little brook
was directed in such a manner as to pass,
like cataract, over the place. Now the
robbers spread out the rumor that the
whole story of the robbery was invented
by the Vice King himself, and that he
had brought the treasure in safety. The
so accused was called to account. But
the robbers did not enjoy their treasure,
as already, before the expiration of the
year, they had either killed themselves
among each other or were defunct. A
German traveller named Mullor, celebra-
ted by his climbing the Pic of Orizaba,
learned the secret from the lips ofan aged,
dying Indian. The Imperial Govern
ment, to whom the place had been point
ed out by Muller, is now about to search
for the treasure, as the historical facts
seem to justify the truth of the story.

MANUFACTURE OF TAR IN PENNsYL-
vANIA.- Perhaps in no State in the
Union have the resources thereof been
more largely developed than in Pennsyl-
vania. In several of the southern coun-
ties cotton has been successfully culti-
waited on small scale, while the growing
of tobacco has been made one of the prin-
cipal crops of the farmer Indeed, the
importance Of tobacco-planting has now
become of the first character, and its har-
vest 6 matter Of great importance. We
now observe that in Cambria, Somerset
and the adjoining counties good quality
of tar is being manufactured from the
knots Of the pitch pine. The manufac-
ture of this substitute for North Carolina
tar is carried on quite extensively, and
has already considerably deprecated the
price of the latter article. The tar thus
produced answers nearly all the fequi-
sites as substitute for the original arti-
cle.--Pitts. Chronicle

REMARKABLE DETECTIoN.-Some
months since droyer named Thompson,
was murdered at West Albany and rob
bed of some thousands of dollars. The
day preceding the murder man with a
slouched hat. moustache, &C., was seen
with Thompson, and during that day the
same man approached another drover and
accosted him as follows, Iav'nt / seen
you before some where? Didn'tyou tend
bar once ?"
The murderer remained undetected up
TO few days since, when the drover who
was thus accosted by the man in the,
slouched hat, was in the cars going from
Albany to Schenectady A man with a
silk hat and clean shaved face, said to him.
Havnt | seen you some where before
Didn't you tend bar once?" The drover
replied "Yes, you have seen me at West
Albany, and | arrest you as the murderer
of Thompson"
The tone, and manner, and the very
words used months before, left no doubt
of the fact that although very different
in personal appearance, this man was he
who dogged Thompson, and circumstan-
ces have revealed themselves, since the
arrest sufficient, it is thought, to fasten
the crime.
