RELIEF CoLLECTIoNs.-On Sun
day, the 10th ult., collections for the
reliet Of tho suffering inhabitants OF
the oyerAowed districts in our State
were made in the several Roman
Catholic Churches Of New Orleans,
Carrollton, Donaldsonville and Baton
Rouge. The total amount realized
was $3.50 95, of which the sum
of $l36 was collected in the church
of St. Joseph at Baton Rouge. The
collection in church at Carrollton
yielded $50, and in the one at Don
aIdsonville, $29 25. The highest sin
gle contribution on the list is that of
1914 IS made by the Church of St.
Alphonse, New Orleans.
Besides the above, and for the
same object, the sum of $3.50 so was
realized from grand religious con-
cert given at the French Cathedral.
TRIAL OF A New STEAM FIRE
ENGINE.-The new steam fire en-
CINE, just received for the United
States Arsenal at this place, was
brought out for display Of its quail
ties OH Saturday last, thanks to
Maj. Burlington, to whose kindness,
our citizens who witnessed the nov
city, are indebted. The trial took
place on North street, near the
Catholic Church, where one of the
large city cisterns is located. Steam
being raised in a few minutes, the
engine was soon in motion and
worked beautifully, pumping the
water from the cistern and sending
it in large volume and with powerful
force to a great height.
The machine is one of the most
elegant and perfect we have ever
seen, and has put our fremen and
citizens generally more in the notion
than ever of Having one similar to it
for the use of the city, although, we
are assured that the services of the
Arsenal machine would be extended
at any time to the city in case of an
emergency. That machine, together
with the hand engine belon ying also
to the Arsenal, and the two hand en-
gines belonging to the city, would
be apt to prove a quick extinguisher
to the most threatening confagration
likely ever to occur either in our
city or to any portion Of the domains
belonging to the United States in
this vicinity.

A BULLY EYE DOCTOR.

actually occurred to himself. Some
years ago he lost an eye, and having
taste for comely personal appear
ance, he had the loss of the member
atoned for by the insertion of glass
eye. The counterfeit was perfect
counterpart OF the other, and, except
those who were told of the fact, none
would have imagined him to be the
"bully boy with the glass eye
Two or three weeks ago the seeing
eye began to inhame, and knowing
by sad experience, the danger of
neglecting sore eye, he determined
to consult an oculist, and not know
ing which was the proper one to 60
to, was unfortunate enough to fall
into the hands of a man who prac
tees the profession, but who, until
within short time, had been en-
gagged in the butchering business
Calling upon TIE celebrated oculist
and aurist," he told him that his
eyes were afflicted with disease, and
he feared he would lose them. The
quack examined the optics and pro-
nounced them an easy cure. In fact,
he would heal them up at low fig
ure, only ten dollars week for
treatment.
"What do you think Of my left
eye, Doctor ?" asked our friend,
whose faith was not very strong.
The doctor examined the left OPP
tic very carefully for several mo-
ments, and then said, II find the
epithelium slightly optic with con-
siderable subcutaneous conjunctiva
in the cellular retina of tho corneal
schirrbosis.
"Can the thing ever be cured 2"
asked the patient who was convinced
that the fellow was an unmitigated
humbug.
ooh, yes, [ can cure that in a
very short time. l have some vege-
table acid which I extract from a
plant known only to myself, which
will render that eye perfectly well in
three weeks
"Do you really mean to say that |
can see out of that eye again ? for
to tell the truth, | have not been
able to see out of it for long time"
"To be sure | do, just as well as /
do out of mine. This ere vegetable
acid Of mine is really wonderful;
there are not any eyes can resist it.
1t fixes them all
Then you can 60 ahead upon
that one, and if you fix it all right,
| will let you attend to the other
one.
The Doctor took out large syr-
inge, filled it with his vegetable
acid, and approached our friend for
the purposeof making an application,
when he raised his hands to his eye,
opened his eyelids, took the glass
optic from tho socket, and handing
it to the operator, said F.:
"Doc, / haven't time to stop for
treatment; you can keep the eye
here, and as soon as you can get it
to see, I will call and get it,
The oculist's "pheelinks" can be
better imagined than described.-S.

Female SuDiage.-A meeting of
the women of this city was held May
Sth, 1867, in the directors room of
the Mercantile Library Hall, for the
purpose of forming an association ad-
vocating the right of woman to
the ballot, and recommending such
measures as will secure that right
to the women of Missouri. The
meeting having been called to order,
Mrs. Clapp was elected to the chair,
and Mrs. Geo. d. Hall requested to
act as secretary. The object of the
meeting was then stated, and the fol-
lowing declaratory resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, The subject of universal
suffrage is now attracting the atten-
ton of the leading minds of this
nation, causing the revision of con-
stitutions both Of the General and
State Governments; and
Whereas, We believe that the true
idea Of republic is achieved only
when the elective franchise is impair
tally bestowed; and
Whereas, Women are subject to
taxation and are made amenable to
the laws; therefore,
Resol0ed, That we will make all
suitable exertion to obtain such an
amendment to our, State constitution
as shall confer the right of suffrage
on women. !
Resolued, That for this purpose we
will organize ourselves into an asso-
citation, to be called the "Woman's
Suffrage Association of Missouri"

The CASE OF Mr.. GEO. W. GAYLE.
Reports the Montgomery Mail of May
20:
The case of Judge Gayle, of Ca
hsba Ala, charged with treason and
conspiracy to assassinate Lincoln, was
finally disposed of yesterday in the
United States District Court, Judge
Rustesd. Judge Gayle was present
in court, and by his counsel, ex.Gov-
ernor Watts, plead pardon by the
President, when the case was taken
from the docket and the Judge fully
discharged. The pardon was "full,
complete and unconditional" Thus
ends case of some magnitude, and
at one time fraught with much dam
ger to our distinguished fellow-citizen.
We congratulate Judge Gayle upon
his being at last relieved from all
trouble in this matter.

General Sickles' Letter.

We publish today in full the letter of
giving some practical recommendations
upon the reconstruction of the South
This letter, which was before the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate, contains recon-
mendations, based upon experience and
observation, strangely at variance with the
increased severity and onerous restrictions
of the bill reported by that committee 20
the Senate a few days since. It shows in
what insignificant estimation are held
opinions of the most distinguished men
and successful officers, when they are in
conflict with what is supposed to be the
interest of party General SICHLEs' recon-
mendations are hooted at because founded
in justice and truth, whilo those of travel
ing emissaries, like Conway and Hayward,
OF local &" loyalists," like Sinclair and
Holden, form the basis Of action, because
they look TO party success.
General SICKIEs' letter is the best vindi-
cation of the necessity of the President
giving an authorized Interpretation to the
military reconstruction measures, as he
shows the impossibility of an uniform exc
cution of them. His recommendation
will be recognized as Just and practical by
all honest and fair-minded men, who have
had any experience at the South. Con
gress may not relish the fact, that but few
are qualified to fill the more important and
necessary departments of the State govern,
ment, but it is one which will strike the
most casual observer, who has recently
been at the South. We do not like to hear
unpleasant truths, however, even from our
friends. ......-
We can we'll appreciate the character OF
the informants upon whose authority
Congress, at each returning session, in
creases the political disabilities and makes
more stringent n0 terms of our reconstruc,
ton. That which they receive from sources
entitled to respectful consideration, are IN
heeded-every vile SANDER is treasured W
and lives upon the journals, or in the
pages of the Congressional Globe, all hon
orable testimony is buried in that populous
parliamentary sepulchre, the committee
room. The evidence and experience OF
their most honored officials are discarded.
and legislation is in harmony with the re-
Communications of paid and unreliable
tools, with no characters to forfeit, and
whose pay and continued employment de-
ponds upon their ability to manufacture
Southern horrors and get up Southern
riots.

The Crops.

The Associate made flying trip, a few
days since, to Sumter, S. c., and took pains
to make observations and procure informa-
ton relative to the growing crops. Along
the line Of Railroad the crops look much
better than was anticipated. 1t is true that
in many spots in the fields the corn looked
sickly from the excessive wet weather, but
this was the exception, as generally it look
ed well. sometimes very well. The cotton
crop Of Sumter District is said to be gener-
ally good. The corn is not so promising,
yet is much better than at this time Il year
ago.
Along the line of the Railroad the cotton
is small, but generally the weed looks well
and the prospect now is, that fair cotton
crop will be made III Sumter, Marion and
Darlington Districts, though it has been
cut OFF to some extent. The corn and pea
crops will be considerably less than was ex
pected previous to the rain storms
| A friend writes to us that the crops il
Duplin county, in this State, are worse
than they have been for many years. No
| thing will be made on most Of the low
lands. Perhaps half crop OF corn ant
cotton will be the yield Of the up-ands.--
Many of the farmers Of that county are saiC
to be very much depressed, and now think
that only bare support will be made.
| If the seasons had been favorable, Du
pin would have been classed among the
cotton growing counties Of the State, a.
| most every farmer had planted cotton tt
some extent, but the injury by the rain.
has been so great that but limited guam
tity will be made.
A practical farmer and intelligent gen
the corn crop of that county will be cut of
from fourth to third, depending upor
the remainder of the season and the late
ness of the frost. He thinks that the cot
ton crop has been damaged not more thar
fourth. From the number of acres
| planted and the hands employed, it was
estimated that the yield would be rather
over twenty thousand bales, but it is
thought it has been damaged to the extent
of five or six thousand bales, more, however
by the general effect of the wet weather,
the loss of time and the grass, than by the
overflow A few planters have been quite
seriously injured by the overflow, but this
is not general.
If the above estimate is correct, the cot

The Paris newspapers are filled with in
cidents connected with the sensation occa-
stoned by the representation of Victor HUI
COS Hermann. One line, which was sup
pressed at the first representation of the
play, had been restored. An attendant
walks in and addressing Don Carlos says
90 The Emperor Macmillan is dead,"
referring to some old fellow whose very
bones had crumbled into dust ages ago
But the words ran through the audience
like an electric shock. This was on Thurs
day, June 90: and perhaps many of those
present at that representation v:il hereaf-
ter connect the shudder, caused by the re-
citation of the line, with the fact that the
body of the unfortunate Austrian Prince
was then lying, scarcely cold, on the soil
of Mexico.

Thomas Francis Meagher.

General Thomas Francis Meagher, Secre-
tary and Acting Governor of Montana,
Territory, fell from the deck of the steam
er Thompson, at Fort Benton, on the eve
ming of the LIST instant, and was drowned.
He had been absent on public business,
and had succeeded in procuring arms for
the troops engaged in the defense of the
Territory and transacting other military
business demanded by the present exigency
At the latest accounts his remains had not
been found, the darkness of the night and
the rapidity of the current preventing any
rescue. In 1866 he was appointed Secre
tary of the Territory of Montana, and for
some time has been Its acting Governor.

University of the South.

The Rt Rev. W. M. GREEN, d. D.,
Bishop of Mississippi and Chancellor of the
University of the South, has called a meet
ing of the Board of Trustees of the Univer-
sity, at University Place, Suwanee, on
Thursday, the first day of August.
We are glad to see Il returning interest
felt in the establishment of this Institution
This is one of the many grand and noble
undertakings in the South, which have
been checked, we hope not destroyed, by
the war. We believe, that previous to the
outbreak of hostilities, the University OF
the South had every prospect OF an early
and successful completion. Now, more
than ever, the youths Of our section
require the fostering care and assistance OF
wealthy and liberal institutions. Many OF
them already in existence are bravely strug-
Cling for life, and those i'll contemplation
have re- eived q check, which years of labor
will only relieve, unless foreign aid is sue
cessfully invoked.
We trust, however, a full meeting of the
Board will respond to tfle call Of Bishop
GREEN, and possibly some means will be
proposed by which the fallen prospects OF
this University may be revived.

We are Glad to know that The efforts OF
our Railroad officials TO secure fair share
of the through travel, North and South, IS
meeting with success. The new schedule
has been in operation but a few days, and
already the increase of travel is very large
The passenger trains going North, espe-
cially the Night Express, are well filled,
while the Southern travel is good for the
season.
The Wilmington and Manchester Rail
road have added another train, and We
now have double daily, fast train, from
all points South and North, with very
few changes Of cars. The management Of
the roads are so excellent, and the cOndl-
ton of the track and the running stock are
such that great regularity and uniform con-
nections are insured, and it now forms the
quickest route from Mobile to New York
For comfort, safety and speed, the line
through our city is unequallel, and these
facts are having their due weight with trav-
elers.
The delay and other Inconvenience eH-
perienced by the ferry across the Cape Fear,
at this point, has always been draw
back to travel and freight. We are happy
! to State that this difficulty will soon be OBJ
waited. The Bridge Company is rapidly
progressing with its gigantic work, and
! before many months are gone the eXpan-
sive waters OF the Cape Fear viii no longer
prove al obstacle to the free and rapid
transmission of passengers and freight. -
| This will add much to the comfort and dis
patch of passengers, and will be of incalcu
liable advantage to the roads. 1t is a mat
ter of cOngatulation that the roads are I'M
der the charge of capable and industrious
off cials. and we are satisfied that nothing
will be spared which attention and intelli
gence can do to make their stock remune
rative to the owners, and give character
and credit to the great works over which
they have charge.
We are fully acquainted with the terrible
struggle through which our railroads, IL
common with most Of similar works in tne
South, have passed-some of which have
succumbed, and but few are now in gooC
repair: and we know of no better endorse
ment of the zeal AMI ability of the officials
who have had charge Of those which termi
nate here, than the success with which tney
are weathering the storm, and the fine con
dition in which they now are. If there is
immediate recuperation and prosperity fol
our section, these roads are prepared tc
aid in the work and reap the benefit of any
increase of business; while the success with
which they make the best of the present
stagnation and gloom, is wonderful and
| praiseWorthy.
