WIRz TO BE HuNGl
How He Received HIS sentence-He
ThreRtens to Haunt His Persecu'

[Wsshington (Nov. y Dispatch TO the Columbus
Journal
The statement telegraphed you for yes
terday's paper in reference to Wirz's con
viction and sentence was officially an
nounced to-day. The sentence was COM
municated to him yesterday afternoon by
Gen. Anger, Capt Walbridge and Major
Russell, and received by him with much
equanimity and sang froid. He said it was
what he expected, not because he consid-
cred he had merited it, but that he had
made up his mind that he was to be made
the scapegoat for all the crimes of the
C~Onfederacy, and at the conclusion re-
marked, all is up, it must be done"
In a moment or two, he looked across
the passage, in the direction of Gen. Bris-
Goes cell, which is opposite the one occu-
pied by him, and called out to him, "Gen-
eral, L am to be hung"
Before the officers retired, Wirz ex-
claimed, "Iil haunt my prosecutors
Wirz then asked that Rev. Father Boyd
be sent for; also, Louis Schade, his coun-
sci, giving the number of Mr.. Schade's
| residence. In a short time Father Boyd,
who had previously visited him during his
imprisonment, wa in attendance and
talked to him a long time, in reference to
the interests of his soul.
Father Boyd also spent some time with
the condemned man this morning. Wirz
says, now he knows that his duty is to at
tend to his spiritual interests, he wishes
to make his peace with God. But it is
| difficult for him to forgive those whom it
is his duty to forgive but he hopes through
earnest prayer 10 be able, before he dies,
to forgive all and die at peace with all
mankind.
He now devotes himself to reading re-
ligious works, but does not spend his tim g
reading books as formerly. His right arm,
which was wounded during the year 1868,
having become sore, so that it is with diff
Guilty he can use it. His wife is now in
| Georgia, having left here some weeks since
to attend her children, the party in whose
care she had left them so as to be at the
trial, having died while she was here. He
eat hearty last night and slept well, and
declared this morning that he had not slept
better on any former occasion since his in
generation.
The gallows will be erected tomorrow
in the old Capitol yard, and the execution
will be under the immediate charge of Ma

will be a private one.

GOLD.
Pennsylvania Rivals CaIIfOrnia--AE.
legged discovery of Gold I'm the Dun
kard OIL Region of Pennsylvania.

A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Com
D~erciaL of Tuesday communicates to that
paper some startling information il re-
gard to alleged discoveries of a valuable
gold quartz vein in Greene county, Penn
sylvanla. 1t would seem from his state
ment that this quartz vein has been met
with in nearly all the wells sunk on Dun
kard Creek and its tributaries, but that the
substance was universally believed to be
yellow pyrites, or sulphuret of copper and
iron. 1t is claimed by Robert Maple and
Captain Hazlett that in the sinking ofthe
Wylie and Clyde oil wells they discovered
this substance, and they satisfied them
selves it was gold, but fear of ridicule if it
should prove not to be gold prevented them
from making the discovery public. The
discovery of the vein, some three feet
thick, in the Keener Well, at seven hun
dred feet deep, was made known by the
Superintendent of the Amber Oil Compa-
nay, of Philadelphia, who own the lease of
the Keener Farm, comprising seventy
acres. Mr.. +. W. Corinth, one of the d.
rectors of the Company, paid a visit to the
well, and secured different specimens of
quartz, with which he returned to Phila-
delphia, in order to lave them scientiical-
ly examined. Mr.. Corinth called at the
office of the Commercial on Saturday, and
exhibited five different specimens of the
quartz and a piece of pure gold nineteen
and one-quarter karats fine, the rusult Of
an assay made by the Assayera at the Phil
adelphia Mint. Mr.. Corinth had some
difficulty in persuading the officers of the
mint to essay the quartz, and they at first
tossed back to him his specimens, inform
ing him they were pyrites. But having
had an assay made by a scientific gentle
men of other specimens, he knew exactly
what would be the result of an ASSAY at
the mint. He succeeded in having the
specimens assayed at the mint, and has
now in his possession the certificate of the
Assayer, showing the gold obtained there
from to exceed in richness the metals of
California and Australia. He has also
others papers to prove that the specimens
of quartz were taken from the Keener
Well.
MI. Corinth is satisfied, from personal
observation, that the value of the quartz
vein underlying Green county, estimating
that it yields as richly as the specimens al
ready obtained would indicate, is sufficient
to liquidate the national debt. The dis
is creating great excitement among
the inhabitants of Greene county, and the
old familiar legend of the hidden silver
mine once worked by the Indians who in
habited the neighborhood, is daily repeat
ed to anxious inquirers. While the de-
already made are satisfactory
as to the presence of the auriferous metal,
the people are in a quandary how to get it
out. The Amber Oil Company design
down a shaft, twelve or fourteen
feet, to a depth of seven hundred feet,
which can be done in twelve months; at
the Superintendent of the oil well,
who is an English miner, and who is IA
niliar with the strata passed through, feels
he can sink a shaft in that time.

PrepnrIng for me ChoIera.

The City Council of Chicago are dis
cussing an ordinance for issuing bonds,
amounting to a hundred thousand dollars,
for cleaning the streets and adopting other
measures to repel the cholera. The Com
m%issioners of Health in New York and
Philadelphia are busy at work, establishing
guarantees and urging forward sanitary
reform. The dilatory street sweeping con-
tractors have been brought up before the
Street Cleaning Commission on charge of
neglecting their work. The Governor of
New York is urging appropriate measures
on the Commissioners of Quarantine.
These measures, and others like them,
throughout the land, though some of them
are, as we think, mistaken-give us cause
for hope and thanks. They show that the
country is at last awakened to its danger,
and Is girding itself for the inevitable con
test with pestilenee. They will save thou

Meantime, what Is Cleveland doing?
We may take just pride in the knowledge
that we have less to do than most cities in

instead of lulling US to a fatal security,

done Other cities may well shrink back
appalled, from the work of cleansing the
Augean stables of filth and. corruption
around them-we, having less to do,
should do itmore heartily, more cheerful

and concerted action. We need it now

The Richmond Wing doubts the story
that General Lee has made Arrangements
with a publisher of New York to issue his
history of the rebellion. 1t says we were
informed some months ago, by a gentleman
who had the means of information, that
General Lee had been visited by u
New York publisher, I'VE believe Mr..
Richardson with the view of inducing
him to write a history of the war, the pub
LEGATION of which, upon terms very liberal
to General Lee, would be undertaken by
Mr.. r. If we were correctly informed, the
General did not, at least at that time, enter
into any agreement on the subject. But
he communicated to our informant the
sense of obligation which he felt to do
justice to the great army which he had
commanded, by making a historic record
of its deeds of valor and its displays of
fidelity and endurance. His personal reluc-
lance at becoming the historian of events
in which he was the chief actor was in
creased by the fact that most of his official
papers had been lost upon the evacuation
of this city-but he recognized as of con-
trolling force a debt of gratitude to the
brave men he had commanded and an OBJ
legation to the truth of history. 1t NAV
be, therefore, reasonably supposed that
General Lee will avail himself of the re-
tirement and favoring circumstances af-
forded by his present position to prepare
a history Of his campaigns and of the
achievements of the renowned Army of
Northern Virginia"

Renewed Victory Of the Former
Club.
[From the New York Tribune, Nov. eth.
The second of the series of match games
was played yesterday afternoon at the
Capitoline, Ball Grounds, Brooklyn, in the
presence of from l $4,000 to $4,000 specta-
tors. The sides composed the same mem
bers that played in Philadelphia a week
ago. in which encounter the Atlantics
came out the yictors by aseore of 81 to 10.
These games nave created more excite
ment in the baseball world than any pre-
vious contests this season, and as this was
expected to be the last great match of the
year, it accounts for the large number of
visitors. Fewer lady patrons were pres
ent than usual in a contest of this impor-
lance. Notwithstanding a fierce, keen,
bracing wind prevailed, the large on
course did not murmur, or wen seem to
notice the chilliness of the weather. 1t
did not in the least affect the play or the
players. Large delegations from other
cities were present, as also from all the
prominent societies in this state. Admi-
rable arrangements were made for the.
comfort of the large crowd congregated.
A large police force was IN hand in case
of emergency, but their services were not
required, SO orderly and impartially did
this huge mass Of humanity conduct them
selves. The applause and admiration at
the different displays of the game were
equally divided. After hunting around
the crowd for Mr.. J.. Grum, he was at
ength ferretted out to act as umpire, and
nobly and impartially did he discharge
the duties of this important Office.
The Atlantics took the first inning, and
led off with some Of the tallest batting,
scoring 8 runs for the first inning. The
Athletics made 6 for their inning; and at
the end of the third inning the score
marked IS for the Atlantics against II for
the Athletics, and at the conclusion of
the sixth inning the Atlantics were % to
u; but in the following two innings the
Philadelphians redeemed themselves
somewhat, and at the close of the eighth
inning the score stood: Atlantics, %;
Athletics, "a. Now the partisans of Phil
adelphia felt jubilant. If they lost the
game, they congratulated themselves that
they had made a good show on the score
books. In the ninth inning the Atlantics
only made one run, leaving a total of 81.
Again the Philadelphians lived in hopes;
only, however, for short period were they
allowed to revel in the anticipation of vic
tory. Pratt's pitching in the last inning,
especially, was most effective; indeed, his
play throughout was greatly admired
The catching, too, of Norton was quite
perfect. The pitching and catching of
the Athletics was also good, but it must be
admitted that the Atlantics completely
outielded their competitors hence may
be attributed their victory. After the
game was w the visiting club and their
friends interehanged cOurtesies with the
members of the fraternity generally in a
harmonious manner. Thus ended one ofthe
best eontestedandnO most interesting matches
of the year, being Almost happy wind-up
of the season.

The ReheI Debt IN georgia.

A dispatch from Provisional Governor
johnson of Georgia to the President of
h s5United States which is printed in our
teiegrapAic cplumhs this morning, an
nOunce that the Georgia Reconstructed
Convention had repudiated the State rebel
war debt by a vote of 1873 to III. If any
body can see in this action any cause for
belief that Georgia is returning to the
Union in Il proper spirit, we certainly can
not agree with them. The very fact that
in the face of the Presidents emphatic and
reiterated declaration that the rebel war
debt must be repudiated, and their own
knowledge that its Reputation would be
insisted on as a condition precedent of adj
mission to the Union-the motion to re-
pudiate it passed by only sixteen majority
in a vote of 25O, is Gpriori evidence that
the feeling in Georgia on this question is
by no means such as the North desires and
demands. The fact is-it was shown in
the debates of the Conven tion-that nine
ty men in a hundred of that body
favor the assumption of the
rebel State debt, and that the
chief argument used in favor of repudiat-
ing it was that by this step they could gain
readmission to power, and then By legislq.
tire enactment could reaSsunle tie debt
THIS argument was not used in secret eau.
cuses, but, with a sublime faulty which
seems almost incredible, and is certainly
incomprehensible, was used openly and
defantly on the floor. 1t says in effect
We'll, Mr.. johnson, as you insist upor
it, we will repudiate this debt. to regain
power, but as soon as we have got the
power we will use it to break our faith
with you, and reassume this whole debt.
And this argument was the moving motive
which influenced the small majority in the
Georgia Convention to repudiate the rebe,
debt. Can any candid man regard such
Reputation as genuine, or as indicating
the proper spirit IN the part OF the return
ing rebels?

ABuIIdIng in Chicago Destroyed by a
TORPEDO.

The Chicago papers state that an at
tempt was made a few nights since to
destroy an entire household by blowing up
a dwelling with a large torpedo The in
strument was thrown throuh a window in
to the parlor, with a slow match attached,
where it exploded, making a complete
wreck of the bnilding and the furniture.
The very roof was moved from its posi-
ton by the force of the explosion but,
strange to say, the inmates escaped with
their lives, The reason assigned for this
act of Vandalism is 4 that the house was
of. the class denominsted EAST" and was

The estate of the late Edward Mott
Robinson is inventoried at five millions
seven hundred thousand dollars, and the
estimate of the appraisers is undoubtedly
a low one. The amount given to his
daughter, the contestant in the will set
down for trial at the November term of
the Supreme Court in the city, is nine
hundred and ten thousand dollars in cash,
aud a parcel of real estate in San Fran
cisco, valued at ninety thousand dollars,
together with the profits and interests Of
the residue, four millions seven hundred
thousand dollars. By the express termso of
the will, the rents, interests and profits are
to be paid over by the trustees to the
daughter, without any direction, inter
ference or control of her husband, if she
should have one. Miss Robinson must.
therefore, have from her fathers estate the
comfortable income of at least three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. By her
aunts will, which she now seeks to set
aside, she is entitled to the interest of at
least one million more, making her total
over four hundred thousand dollars.
