Strange. hut Trua.

War, disease and famine are considered
the most powerful emissaries OF death.
There are others, more destructive than the
three united. We iallude to the deadly
poisons sold as rum, gin, brandy, whisky,
wine, &c. "A glance at our criminal calend-
ars, police reports, and medical statistics
proves this. In the State of Maine the
headquarters Of the temperance movement,
there Is no restriction on the sale of Speer's
Samburg Port Wine-a tlattering testi-
monial of its worth and purity. In our
opinion its sale should be encouraged in
every section of the country, not merely for
its notwithstanding properties, but for its
rare and valuable medicinal virtues, ap-
proved by eminent members of the faculty,
in Europe and America. The Samburg
grape of Portugal is now cultivated in this
country for the preparation Of a wine un-
excelled by the vintages of the choicest
port, to which it strongly assimilates inits
mellow juiciness of flavor and brilliancy of
color. The fruit has been brought'to a per-
fection never attained In Portugal, by Mr..
"A. Speer, in his vineyard, New Jersey.
Physicians say 1t is superior to port for in
valids and in Summer 1t is more agreeable
and refreshing than claret. Clergymen use
1t for its purity as communion wine, while
the most fashionable families drink it as a
dinner wine.--N. Y. Tribune. ~. aigi .

Movements of General sheridan--
General WeitzeI-Sfrength of the
Army Moving Into Texas.

New York, July THE Tribune's New
Orleans correspondent says: Maj.-General
Sheridan, after visiting Galveston, proceed
ed to Brazos Santiago, and from thence to
Brownsville, remaining but a short time in
each place. He is hourly expected to re-
turn to his headquarters in this city, which
are established at the Strong Mansion.
General Weitzel arrived at BraZOs Santi-
ago few days since, and temporarily es-
.tablisbed his headquarters at that place.
It's thought he will proceed to Browns
vile in few weeks, or as soon as the de-
barkation of his command has been effected.
The concentration Of troops in Texas en-
crosses to great extent the conversation
OF the people of this city. 1t is supposed
that the numerical strength OF the forces
about to occupy that country, including
cavalry, infantry and artillery, will be at
least 50, 900 men, much larger army than
Sheridan had under his command when he
inflicted the disastrous blow on Early at
Winchester, from which this apple brandy
General never recovered, and which event.
ually gave us the control of the valley.
General Custar is still at Alexandria, on
the Red river, organizing his cavalry corps,
which is expected to start overland for
Houston in two columns, one from Alexan-
dria and the other from Shreveport, in a
few days. The I'd Indiana heavy artillery,
Sd Wisconsin and 7th Indiana cavalry, ar
rived atAleXandriaa at alfew days since. They
win form a portion of the gallant Custar's
command

From GaIvestOn--ATrival of Welt.
zeiis COrPs-The FOrtificaiiOns--
The Feeling Among the Citizens.


New YORK, July 1.-THE Tribune's Gal
weston correspondence, dated June 20, says:
Galveston is now occupied by colored
troops, constituting provost guard for the
enforcement Of law'and order. lw wHsgrfP
Gen. Gordon Granger lett this morning
for Houston, with sufficient force to Oc-
cupy the city and protect the citizens in the
vicinity.
The transports laden with part of Welt
zel's corps arrived several days ago, but
we're unable to cross the bar on account of
the high sea that had been rolled up by a
strong southeast wind. A large fleet is now
at anchor off the bar, composed OF navy
vessels, transports and coal barks. The
Port Royal, New London, Preston and
Cornubia are anchored in the bay.
The forts and batteries erected with so
great pains are now deserted, the she'll, shot
and powder scattered about with wanton
recklessness. Gen! Granger declares that
they are not worth occupying at present,
and it is probable they will remain in their
desolatOn as mementoes of four year
unsuccessful treason. Fort Bankhead
and Fort Magruder are the principal
earth-works, but they do not deserve
to be called forts, being merely piles of sand
and railroad iron, with but few guns in
classmates and on the parapets. At dis
tance across the water these piles of yellow
sand loomed up ominously, and to an un-
professional eye Galveston was strongly for
titled; but after all the best defense of the
city by water was in the shallowness, mar
ToWness and tortuousBess of the channel
The city is dreary and destitute. Loyalty
does not manifest itself among the nhabi-
tants. Even now, while Union soldiers pa
troll the streets, and d powerful fleet is an
chored off the city, these narrow minded
and impoverished people cling ito the idea
Of State independence. They want to fly
the Lone Star flag once more, to subdivide
their country into four States or more, and
to become a recognized power in the world.
There are many more slaves in Texas
than there were before the war, but the in
situation is waning; even their value has
fallen about to zero, and little effort is made
to capture them when they run away. l
could fill many columns were to record the
horrible accounts that reach us of the law
lessness and bloodthirstihess of theinterior.
vengeance is mine; I win repay" has been
the motto of the ill-used soldiers of the
Confederacy, and quartermasters and con-
tractors have paid the penalty of their
frauds in the by-ways and on the limbs of
trees.

CrRcLEv1LLE. Feb. 18th, 1865,

The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this cityin November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. It
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars 1t has, compara-
lively, greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as Is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, it Is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
fues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. It, is
!, deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
I to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
| other furnaces had been previously used in
1 our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
! tion of a large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editlces, not only in Western,
/. but also in Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best. '
