SUDDEN DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED GENTLE
MAN.-Gen. Martin Luther Smith died suddenly on
Sunday morning, in Rome, Ga. He was attacked
the day previous with Inflammation of the bowels,
and the disease ragged so violently that his system
somewhat eneryated by intense heat and fatigue
was incapable Of bearing the shock, His remains
passed through this city yesterday in charge of
DR.. VIM. D. Hoyt of Rome, to be delivered to his
relatives and friends in Athens, for interment.
Gen. Smith was graduate of West Point. and
served in the Mexican war. He was recognized
as man Of distinguished ability. During the late
war he was the head of the engineer corps of the
ful period, among other prominent 9crformances,
he planned and constructed the defenses of Vicks-
burg. AT the time of his death, Gen. Smith was
chief engineer of the system of railroads winch is
Gen. Joseph 4. Johnston is president, and which
are now being constructed. Gen. Smith, we ne

WESTERN AND LAKE CoMMERcE.-The growth of
commerce in the Western and lake cities, and
especially in Chicago, if quite bewildering. Thus,
in 1888, Chicago exported but rs bushels of corn,
oats, rye -four, wheat and barley. The current
year, we are assured by the local press, it will
export 600O00O0 bushels of these cereals. In
1866 the shipment of corn was 6626 O54 bushels,
increased to 25,228,526 in 1856, making it the
largest corn market in the world. The aggregate
sales of the wholesale stores, in seven lines of
trade only, last year, were $4,000 600. The grain
trade surpasses that of all Russia, while St. Louis
and Cincinnati are behind Chicago in the items of
beef and pork packing. Some sixteen points on
the Mississippi river are connected with the city
byTail which aggre gate railway of 5000 miles
radiating Immediately from it. The acoommoda-
tions Of the port are insufficient and efforts are
being made to bring them up to the requirements
Of the constantly growing commerce. 1t is IN
questionable that future years will see the latest
figures expanded in proportion to the former, aud
that what seems to US great now, will be dwarfed
by its succession, But for the time the fact is one

THE PARAGUAYAE WAR-Details of the Battle
Before HunIaita.-AdYices from Rio Janeiro to
the I'd inst, received by the last steamer, state
that no news of interest from the seat of war has
been received at that place. No active operations
had taken place in either State. A correspondent
says:
It is now ascertained that the losses of the bel
ligerents in the battle of the oath of May were
about 10000 horS de combat, of which the allies
lost 1900 and the Paragraphs $500. The Para
guayans are also reported to have lost four pieces
of artillery, three flags and some small arms. The
loss of the allies is not stated. .....
The official report of General Bartolome Mitre,
dated camp of victory at Tuguity, May a. is pub
lished, in which he says
The result has been complete repulse of the
enemy in all their lines leaving dead the battle
field four thousand men, and taking back a large
number of wounded, according to the declaration
of the runaways and prisoners. Remaining in our
possession, guns, ornaments and prisoners, the
number it is at this moment impossible to say, not
having as yet received the official reports of the
generals of divisions, and there being no time to
obtain them previous to the departure of the mail.
Our loss has been comparatively small The
enemy has again shut himself up in his fortified
camp, and escaped being totally routed, owing
to the nature of the ground, which prohibited
pursuit.

'sELLs."-It is an easy matter to get adver,

you have the wherewith to defray expenses; but
it is not so easy to get these advertising notices

is taxed to the utmost while framing advertising
notices so that they will attract attention. To
such an extent has this matter been carried by
enterprising merchants and others, the reading

TEE MILITARY CoMdIssIoN--It appears that
the investigations of this body have been the
means Of bringing to light a most remarkable CON
spiracy which was in existence in this city, hav-
ing ramifcations all over the South, particularly
In this State. It has been discovered that this So
ciety was known among the initiated as Societas
sabucuIis Moodiensibus dispergendis.n Its OBJ
ieets being Of such nature, of course it was so
secret that even the Masons and Odd Fellows can
not pretend to such exclnsiyeness. The regalia
worn by the members of the organization is of the
most beautiful description, and, unlike that of the
societies named above, covers greater portion
of the person of the wearer. They are generally
made of white cotton cloth for the rank and file Of
the order, but the officers regaa are made of fine
linen. There is an opening made in the front for
the admission of the wearer's head, which open
ing is closed when it is on, with studs made Of
mother Of pearl, gilt metal or gold. The sleeves
for It has sleeves-are made large and full, and
are connected together at the wrist by metal
clasps or studs, of the same material as those
worn in front. Covering the back as wen as the
'front.' this beautiful regaia flows gracefully as far
down as the knee or lower, according to the taste
Of the initiate, but is left open on each side after
reaching the hips. When member of the society
is out in the world, he wears his regaIa concealed
by his clothing, but during the hours Of refresh
ment II il displayed without attempt at conceal
ment. We forgot to mention that the front Of this
regaiia is often ornamented otherwise than by
studs. Sometimes member of this society, who
can afford it displays his taste in arranging the
upper part of the front in plaits and rufles, and
enriching it with embroidery but these are not
regular symbols Of the brotherhood
AS to the objects Of this order, as we said be-
fore they are secret and the name alone gives Us
hint as to what they are. But from the fact that
the society has aourished since the close Of the
war, and that nearly every "ex-rebel' in the city
appears to be anxious to come in possession Of at
least one of the regala, we suppose that it has
something to do with politics, and is in opposition
to universal suffrage, negro equality, etc, and
is consequently dangerous and rebeIlious.
The military commission will no doubt sift the
matter to the bottom, and lift the veil of obscu-
rity which now covers the organization, and bring
its chief officers to punishment, as the possession
Of regalia by Southern man would be consid-
cred By Congress % sure sign of rehelliops feel
ing and disunion sentiments. Persons curious
about the regalia can have their curiosity gratifed
