fully prepared map Of the territory, win soon be

geological formation is the same that Of Penn

there can be no doubt whatever Of the existence of
petroleum throughout the entire region of country
where it is located. Aside from Prof safords high

A Signal Failure.

The attempt, by Southern action. to make
good the threat of Northern Radicals to
"humble the proud spirit of the South, and
bring her people to their knees' at the feet
of their Northern masters, we are proud to
see, has proved complete failure so far as
the State of Georgia is concerned. A few
aspiring politicians and hysterical property
holders have advocated the establishment,
but it has found no real response in the
hearts of the people. The latter reject it
both from principle and policy.
This experiment having failed, we hope
now to see all our people united, and with
an unbroken front prepared to meet the fu-
ture. The State authorities, IwesfeeI sure,
will do their duty, and we can trust them
to act for US in this time of trouble. Be
calm, await the future, Danish all divisions
from among ourselves, and we shall vet
emerge from the darkness into the full light
of day, unshOrn of our honor, and with the
respect of even our mies.-Macon (GaJ

rascality of another renegade preacher is
again imposed on us as Journalist. Rev.
j. Petty, who resided in this county, on
String Prairie, about twelve miles from
this city, and who has been lately holding
a revival meeting, at which, we learn,
many converts were made, and who were
to have been baptized next Sabbath. pro-
vided all things had gone along smoothly.
But, on Wednesday last, the Reverend
Pastor of the String Prairie flock took it
Into his head to run off with one Of the she
lambs-a Mrs. Freeman, married sister
who left behind her husband and three chill
dren. The Reverend Petty had a wife also
and five children, whom he has left in desti-
tute circumstances. On Wednesdaylast the
preacher came to this city in company with
the guilty woman in buggy, and soon
after disposed of the team to citizen of
this city.
Later in the day Mrs. Petty arrived, in
search of her runaway scoundrel of hus-
band, and the officers of the law were out
hunting him all Wednesday night. Early
yesterday morning it was ascertained that
he and Mrs. Freeman had gone off together
on the steamer Sucker State. This Petty,
like his apostate brother, Ballinger, is a
ranting member of the God-and-humanity
party, and wanted all Democrats to be
hanged who refused to vote the Radical
ticket and to acknowledge his miscegena-
tion preaching as pure Gospel. Our space
give full history of this case of clerical
rascality. Verify these must be the latter
days, and the devil turned loose among the
preachers.

Horrible Solution of n Mystery
A Child Eaten by Snakes.

From the Oswego IN. " Palladium. March I6I
In the early part of the month of August
last girl named Eliza Drummond, about
IL years of age, whose parents live near the
town of West Monroe, in this county, left
her home one morning for the purpose of
picking berries, and never returned. The
most diligent search was made for her by
the parents and neighbors, but no traces
could be found. She had not been drowned,
for all places where there was water were
carefully examined, even to wells and cis-
terms in the nei ghborhood. After weeks of
fruitless search and inquiry, the afflicted
parents gave up their child tor lost. II was
reported that a band of vagrants had been
seen near the locality about the time of the
disappearance, and the opinion prevailed
that the child had been stolen by gypsieS.
The event, which created profound SEN
sation at the time, had almost passed from
the minds of all save the stricken parents.
when it was painfully recalled by a recent
occurrence. On Tuesday last five or six
lads went out hunting in the vicinity, and
during the day came upon spot where a
large number of black snakes were discoV-
cred and killed. The appearance of the
reptiles in such numbers and at this season
OF the year, was considered remarkable,
and it was suggested by one OF the party
that breeding den must be somewhere
near. A search was Immediately COM
menced, which resulted in a manner far
different from their expectations.
In the side of little hill near the edge OF
swamp was found a sort of opening,
which, in the summer, was concealed by
tall grass and bushes. In this opening was
| found human skeleton. from which every
particle of flesh had been taken. The bones
were as white as ivory, and all perfect
Near by was tin pail, in rusted condi-
tion, and tin cup. The boys were terri
bly, frightened, and gave the alarm. The
remains were taken from the mouth of the
den, and an examination showed that the
place had been, and probably now was, g
| breeding place for black snakes. The bold
est hestated to enter. The entrance, which
was large enough for the admission of g
mans body, grew smaller and tended
downward. Lighted balls of hay soaked
in kerosene were thrown into the cavity
and in less than fifteen minutes eighty-tWC
snakes, ranging in length from one and a.
half to four feet, were killed.
The pail and cup were recognized by Mr.
and Mrs. Drummond as those taken by theil
child when she wentaway for the last time
The physicians pronounced the remains
those of a female child, and there can be nC
doubt but that the poor little girl, while
picking berries in the vicinity of the spot
became tired, seated herself in the shade O
the opening to this horrid den, was attack
ed by the reptiles in numbers and killed.
The discovery has shocked the whole com
munity, and almost prostrated the strickeI
parents, whose hearts are made to bledt
anew at the thought of the horrible tat,
which deprived them of their child.

COLUMBUS, O., MONDAY MORNING,
night sessions of the House with all the

freshness and vigor of youth,
If these are indeed Mr.. Stevens final
words, we shall not regret his retirement
from public life. But If it is part of the
stage trickery to give them consequence
TO which they are not entitled, we wish
the public to understand it. We make
sport of no mans physical intirmities, and
we trust we are not lacking in respect to
age. But we despise the arts of a dema-
gOgue and the maneuyers of aveteran and
accomplished trickster. On the Thirty
ninth Congress the influence of Mr..
Stevens was inordinate. Had it been
welded to secure an adjustment of our
national istu blnces, we might have long
ago been united people. But instead OF
promoting union, he preached discord; in
stead of harmonizing, he intensified Sec
tional antagonism. He succeeded in
changing or coercing the opinions of a
majority of his associates, so that men who
honestly sought pacification at the outset
gave their votes to the infamous military
bill. That is not enough for his insatiate
hate. He would let loose the horrors of
confiscation and of agrarianism upon an
unhappy and impoverished people; but we
are confident that in this respect his power
will not be equal to his malice.-NGtionaI
