not believe that the President intends
or desires to separate from the Union
party. but that the present contest is
something like the Wade and Davis
attack upon Mr.. Lincoln, with the ex-
ception that Mr. johnson does not
show the wisdom and equanimity

test. He believes that Mr.. Johnson
is equally pure, true, and patriotic,
and desires very earnestly that unity

THE PRESIDENTIAL TRIP TO CHI.
CAGn.

Since my dispatch few days ago, the
programme for the Presidential trip to Chi
cago has been altered by omitting Saratoga
from the list Of stopping places. The rail-
road timetable for the trip, as now az
ranged takes the party from this city in the
7.30 morning train On Tuesday, August %,
arriving at Philadelphia at l30 o'clock P.
N. The party remain in that city until
o'clock the next morning, Wednesday, when
they leave for New York, arriving at the
latter place at noon. Thursday, August 80,
leave New York ria Hudson river steamer
in the morning, and arrive in Albany in the
evening. Friday, August 81, leave Albany

va, Canandiagua, Rochester, Brockport, Al
bion, and Lockport. Remain at Niagara
Falls Sunday, and leave there on Monday
morning, September 3, for Buffalo, where
they halt for three hours, and then proceed
to Cleveland ria Eria and Dunkirk, arriving
at Cleveland in the evening. Tuesday, Sep

CITY, and arriving at Chicago at about eight
o'clock in the evening. Mr.. SEWARD is the
only member of the Cabinet that has posi-
lively arranged to accompany the President;
but there is a probability that Postmaster
General RANDALL and Secretary MCCUL-
LoCH may be Of the company. The
magnificent passenger car built for Mr..
LINCOLN is to convey the Presidential
party through the trip. How long Mr..
JoHNsoN will remain in Chicago is not de-
termined, but not over two days probably.
He has been urged to visit Madison, Wis
consin, after he gets through at Chicago,
and he will, no doubt, accept the invitation.
Returning to Washington, it is underetOod,
the President will come Uia indianapolis,
CincinDati, Columbus and Pittsburg. It Is
also understood that on the trip from New
York to Albany the party will stop at West
Point, where there will be a military re-
view and a collation. served up. General
MCCALLUII, who formerly had charge Of the
military railroads, is to have the conduct Of

A MANIAC'S DEATH.

From the Schuyler IllD Citizen.l
On Sunday, the 10th inst, Mrs. FARMS
WORTH, aged about % years, and the mother
Of three children, the youngest about three
months old, was sent to our county poor
farm, by the overseer of the poor of Wood
stock township. She had been found in the
woods naked on the Wednesday previous, a
raving maniac After being in the poor
house a short time, she took a seat on the
porch, when kitten coming by, she seized 1t
around the neck with one hand, and delib-
erately tore out its eyes. Soon after she
killed an old cat in the same manner, and
then ran after one Of Mr.. AUsTE's little
children with a similar intent undoubtedly,
but the screams of the child brought 1t
timely assistance. She was then locked up
in one Of the rooms Of the house, but man
aged to get out, having torn of every shred
of her clothing. A room was prepared by
mailing up the window and doors with
strong bars, but she made her escape from
this also; and upon being put back would
throw herself headfOremOst against the door
and walls of the room, and tear up her bed
and clothing. Manacles and a straight
Jacket were then placed upon her, and the
floor of her room covered to the depth Of
foot or more with straw, but she continued
to throw herself against the walls and CHM
ney, and would also scraPe the straw from
the floor, and springing up light down on
her head and shoulders. Once or twice a
dose Of morphine was given her, causing
her to sleep several hours, but she would
wake up as Wild as ever. Finally, on
Wednesday afternoon, after striking her
head against the door, she was heard to
make a singular moaning noise, and on en-
tering her room she was found gasping her
last, with the blood oozing from her mouth
and nostrils.
Her head and entire body, it was found
while being prepared for burial, were black
with bruises, and her head beaten to jelly.
She resided near Cherokee creek, above
Ripley, and her insanity is attributed to do
nestle infelicity. She is said to have been
4 very handsome woman.

AxEcDOTE OF JUDGE PATTERSON.

An East Tennessee correspondent sends
us the following anecdote Of Senator PAT
rERsoS, Of this State:
Early in the year 1861 business called me
10 attend a session Of the Circuit Court at
Greeneville, the county seat Of Hancock, one
of the mountain counties Of East Tennessee.
The population, like that Of most Ct the
mountain regions of our State, Is rude, un-
cultivated, and having little respect for the
conventionalities of society, and my brief
soiourn amongst them was prolific in incl
dents Of an amusing character. or these,
however, | will not now speak, my object
being simply TO narrate an incident which
somewhat varied the usual dignihed and
formal proceedings Of the court room.
His Honor d. +. PATTERSON, at present
United States Senator from Tennessee, was
the presiding Judge. After supper, on
Tuesday night, the hostler at the hotel in
formed the Judge that his horse was very
sick. His Honor Immediately repaired to
the stable, and was up the remainder OF the
night administering 10 and giving directions
for the relief Of his suffering quadruped.
Just about daylight the horse died. The
Judge being a prompt and industrious
officer. no DELAY was made in the opening Of
court to afford him a few hours rest At s
o'clock he was promptly on the bench. As
the Sheriff was making proclamation l
stepped into the court room, and observed
that the usually benignant countenance OF
His Honor was clothed with a thunder
cloud. This | attributed to the double loss
Of rest and Of his horse.
As the Sheriff turned to the bar, the Judge
raised from his table 4 greasy and much
worn card. Firing a fierce glance upon hls
executive officer, in a sharp voice he de
manded, Mr. Sheriff, was this court room
locked last nigh? ?'
No, sir
Can you tell me who were in here"
No, sir
Well, sir, some persons were in here
during the night, playing cards, and if car
find out who they were they shall suffer iol
it. For the court to situp all his night, lost
his horse, and then come into court and fine
dirtu card on his table, is a little too mucl
to endure. 1t is adding insult to injury, on'
TO make The matter r0rse, Il Is the Sir Of Cubs
the moaasst card IN The pack. / can't stand suci
insult and / warn you, sir, that if 1t Is re
peated, 1 will try my hand on y0U.'
II is needless to say that the court room
was. after this, locked at night.

THE REBUILDING OF CHARLESTON.

The corporate authorities of Charleston,
South Carolina, have proposition before
them for the city to loan to the owners Of
lots money to build houses upon them. The
Courier thus gives a synopsis ofthe plan:
The scheme proposed by Aldermen MAR

cent. coupon bonds, guaranteed by the city,
TO the amount Of two millions Of dollars, to
owners Of lots who desire TO build, in such
sums as shall be most efiectual in atlOrding
them aid within specified limits. The plth
Of the plan is TO advance 20 the holder, at
their par value, bonds to the amount Of the
appraised value, with fifty per cent. added,
OF the lots whereon buildings are proposed

execution of a bond in a sufficient penalty,

/ three years from the date Of the bond, and
also for the payment Of the interest quarterly,
| in advance, with the further condition that the
money loaned shall withinsix Its
receipt be expended in the erection OF stone
| or brick building, with roofs or coverings

able water-power TO work the simple, neat,
perfect machinery by which he has made
such rapid progress in boring, and at such
moderate cost By plank race, water is
conducted from his mill-race supply, falling
upon an over-shot wheel, thus furnishing
sufficient power TO work an auger 10 the
depth Of a Thousand feet. II has required
but two hands to manage and conduct the
operations from the beginning The entire
expenses-including smiths work for sharp
ening drills, etc, have averaged bet three
dollars per day. Three dollars per day and
his progress has been from one to Twelve ieet
per day.
He has not encountered any saltwater, as
operators have in all the wells near McAlinn-
Vile. Several streams Of fresh water have
been passed-one Of about six or eight inches
in depth with a strong current, as Is evl-
denced by its washing away Of the rock and
debris Of the auger in drilling.
