AN INCIDENT WITH PRETTY Moral
A scar-worn ex-rebel soldier who drove'a
teamto lumber wagon, heavily loaded, last
Thursday, had the misfortune to get one of
the wheels in q deep gulley on one of the
back streets in town, whIdd brought him to
Il stand. I'm vain he struggled, solitary and
alone, 10 surmount the difficulty; Eor did
any one of the numerous passersby offer
him helping hand. Finally Federal
officer, Ga Captain of the United States army,
whose name we would publish if we knew
IT. came along, andperceiving the wagoner's
trouble, kindly proilered his assistance, and
going some distance to hunt piece of timber
with which to prize out the wheel, he Shout
dered pole twenty feet long, and almost n
load for two men, which he carried to the
wagon, and, putting it under the axle, priced
the wheel out, The rebel teamster express
cd his gratitude with many thanks, but the
officer modestly told him his services would
be amply repaid if he (the wagoner) would
help the first man he met with in similar

Precious STONES OF GEoRGIA.-Thc
Athens Watchman calls the attention of the
public TO the fact that DIR. Stevenson, the
eminent mineralogist and gcologist who
was for many years Assayer in tile United
States Branch Mint at Dahlonega, speaking
OF the mineral resources OF Georgia, says
fine amethysts have been found in Hall
county, Forsyth and Columbia; the topaz in
Lumpkin; the Comedian in Rabun; the Beryl
in Clarke, and the lazulite IN Lincoln, ac-
companied with splendid crystals of rutile,
some weighing IL ozs. The zircon, IN great
quantity, is found, us an accompaniment OF
the diamonds, all along the belt of itacolu-
mite. Tie lyanite is found in Egbert county,
and the chalcedony is associated with the
cornelian in Itabun county, as also the
amianlhn asbetos, of great strength of fibre,
and over two feet long. The garnet is album
dant, but everywhere OF poor quality. No
emeralds have been found, nor sapphire.
The opal abounds in the middle counties.
The precious, or fire opal, however, has only
been found in South Carolina, where some
valuable specimens were obtained by tho
late DIR. Andrews, Of Charlotte, N. G. Judge
Peck, OF East Tennessee, found small
emerald in Hawkins county. The ribbon
jasper is abundant, md pictorial marble Of
| great beauty.

COUSIN JoHN.-The Petersburg (Va.) En-
press tells the following good story: A
modest young gentleman from the country,
while passing along one OF our streets the
other day, met two young ladies--to him
perfect strangers. lie evidently resembled
some handsome and iavorlte cousin OF theirs,
for as soon as they laid eyes on him, they
gave him very cordial greeting, expressed
themselves TO be very glad to see cousin
john" and extending two pairs of very
and received, that the lair ones discovered
their mistake, though the gentleman in
question saw ii from the beginning. Yet lie
was so overcome by his unexpected fortune,
that il was some time ere he recovered his
presence of mind. It's an i'll wind that
blows good to nobody; what "cousin john
missed, in this instance, somebody else got.

ASpEcTACLE.-Ane extraordinary sight was
witnessed in the principal London street last
Thursday. Rather more than thousand OF
the most miserable wretches that ever wore
the garb of humanity formed procession
and marched in silence from the neighbor-
hood of Mapping and Whtechapel 10 the
afislocratic quarters of ST. James and Bel
grayia. There was no disturbance or excess
of any kind. Every man was in rags, and
every form and face bore the unmisiakable
marks of privation and distress. A banner
or two contained inscriptions indicative OF
their character and their wants, and few
carried money-boxes TO receive any donations
that might be bestowed upon them. Why,
know not, but it was not deemed worth
while to prevent this demonstration on the
parl of the authorities, butthe sight was one
that did moi tend to add greatly TO an English
man 5 pride. These men, ii is well known
were only the representatives OF a body forty
times their number, forit has been ascertain.
ed that there are no less then forty thousand
in the eastern suburbs of London, not only
out ofemployment.b but reduced to the extreme
Substitution, and dependent on daily charity
for their morsel ofbread, or cup of soup, that
keeps the flame of life alight within theil
emaciated bodies. 1t is ffightful thing T.
contemplate, and what is to be the end Of
this state of things Heaven only knows

A BRAVE DEFENcE.-A telegram recently
reported the killing of a mail carrier on the
route from Fort Bowie to Messila, New
Mexico. His name was G. A. b. Foster,
and he was native of Chatauque county,
New York. The poor fellow, who had made
up his mind that after the trip on which he
was about to start he should give up his vo-
cation and go home, it seems made SPLEEN
did fight. lie lett the fort with his own horse
mouth Of Apache Pass, five miles distant
from Bowie, he was attacked by four mount
ed and two dsmounted Indians. He made
running fight with the savages, killing two
Indians and one horse and wounding the
remander-.fa falling from his animal by reason
of loss of blood, two and one half miles from
the tort, to which he was retreating.

On Friday last, Hon. Charles o'Couor,
one of the counsel of JEFF Davis, made appli-
cation to Chief Justice Chase, in Washing
ton, for writ of dabeds corpus, requiring
the commandaut at Fortress Monroe to bring
jeff Davis before him, TO show cause why he
is kept in confinement in the Fortress. The
Chief Justice refused to grant the writ. Mr..
O'Conor then made similar request of
Judge Underwood, who granted the writ,
and made il returnahle on the 18Th inst, at
Richmond, at which time Judge Under.
woods court will be in session at that place.
The inference is that the President will
direct General Burton 10 answer the writ.
Hon. CHARLES GIBBONS addressed large
audience, composed of colored people, at
Richmond, on Friday last. Mr.. Gibbons
is good speaker and will doubtless effect
much good in shaping the political course
of the freedmen of the South.
