JOHN W. FoRNEY, in a letter to the
Philadelphia Press, puts an extinguisher
on the reports that have been industriOusly
circulated concerning the bad temper at
the South. He says the recent message
of Gov. MARVIN, of Florida, might have
been made at Independence Square or
Faneuil Hall. not alone without question,
but with grateful applause, and he cannot
recall one of these new Southern Cover

without intending to do his best. 1t is

are some remarkable facts COT nected with
the great defalcation by HENRY B. JENKINS,
teller of the Phoenix Bank of New York
It appears that he was in the habit of at
tending the concert saloons and other dis

these places and their pimps threatened to
expose him unless he paid them well for
keeping silent. In this way they got from
him black mail to the amount of SIS, 200,
which money he stole from the baBk. he
also paid JAMES Il. EARLE large sums ii
money for specializing pur 'oses, and be-

the Southern line of entertainments on that
field. The Federal columns were hurled for

shock was 90 great that the very earth trem-
bled. A livid sheet of fame belched forth from
right to left like wall of fire. Ten or
twelve desperate assaults were made upon diff.
ferent parts of General Leee line. all of
which were resisted successfully More con-
spicuous gallantry than was there exhibited
by the Federal troops, the worlds history will
never record; and It those deeds of valor prov
ed unavailing then ahd there, it was no fault of
theirs, but that they were confronted by men
OF proves not less dauntless than their own.
There are men hereab0uts who win forever
entertain lively recollection of Spottsylvania
and the terrible struggle for mastery there.
No battle of that fearful campaign. BEGINNING
at the Wilderness" is fraught with scenes
more stirring than this one. Like two giants,
the two armies, than which none more formi-
dable Will ever again be marshalled OF this
continent, met in mortal conflict, and the best
blood OF our land ebbed in that crimson tide.
