A HORSE THIEF COMMITS SUICIDE,
A man by the name of Malary, says
the fernando Press, who stole a horse
from a kinsman in that county some
two weeks ago, and sold the same to a
party in this place, killed himself at
Cold water depot, on last Saturday, by
taking laudanum. 1t seems that remore
of conscience prompted the act. The
horse was retaken by the proper own
err and the party to whom the horse
had been sold recovered his money
from the thief, against whom no charg-
es having been preferred, was roam
ing at liberty up to the hour of his
death.

GENERAL LEE.-Nothing could be more
modest and unopstrusiye than the
course of General Lee since the sur.
render to General Grant, He has had
nothing to do with politics, and, as we
learn, does not so much as read the
newspapers, His time and attention
are exclusively devoted to the per.
Torrance, of his duties as President Of
Washington College, where, upon the
salary Of $500 or $4,000, he lives IN
plainness and simplicity which has
always characterized the man. His
example is one which should command
the respect of his enemies and the imi-
tation of his friends. No one ever
hears from him solitary word which
savors of querulousness or discomfort,
Cheerful, faithful and true, he is prou-
der in adversely than prosperity, at
tested by all circumstances, exhibits
an equanimity of spirit which is proof
alike against the batteries and frowns
offortune. -Balt. Transcript.

REMARkAp1E D1soovERy-

REMARKABLE DIscovERY.-A few
days ago, while some -workmen were
excavating cellar in Polk township,
Monroe County, Indiana. the work
men struck what at first appeared to
be solid ledge of rock, and sitting
down to rest, one of their number
began idly to pick at an apparent
fissure, when q block OF stone, nearly
two feet square, disappeared with a
dull thump. The men went eagerly
to work, and removing the bottom OF
the pit, disclosed a chamber with q
six-foo' ceiling, and eighteen by
twenty .wo feet within the walls,
which are of solid, neatly scanned
stone work. Ranged in rows, on
rudely constructed platforms, were
twelve skeletons, each with q toma-
hawk and arrow heads ut their sides,
earrings and bracelets of solid silver
lying where they dropped, and piles
of what appeared to have been furs,
III the centre of the platform, each
pile crumbling to dust as soon as ex.
p sed to the light. A number OF
tools, made of copper, and hardened
equal to the best cast steel, were also
unearthed, and fresh discoveries are
being constantly made.

and leaning gracefully over the chairs

OF course there was great tribulation,
when, on rising from their seats,
their waterfalls tumbled off! It is

The POLITICAL CHEss-BoARD.-The
New York Tribune has the following

The PoLITICAn CHESS BoARD.-The
New York Tribune has the following
on the situation:
YtMany of our cotemporaries are
advising Grant to do this and that
We fear that the General has limited
his usefulness by dealing 80 gently
with the President. He represents
Congress, while the Presidents repre.
sents the spirit of disunion and
slavery. The President thus far has
controlled the game. Three pieces
have been captured from the chess
board-Stanton, Sheridan, Sickles-
and three stronger pieces do not rest
upon our side. Grant has made one
or two checks, but the President
has avoided them, and taken our
pieces. The trouble with Congress
and Grant is, that they have played
too easy q game with his Exceilency.
They check him, and annoy him, but
don'tget ahead. JOHNSON moved near
ly all of his friends into good places
last Congress-, and all of his leading
antagonists out of place. We call
this splendid play, and he is strong
enough to do more mischief. Grant
seems to feel that Congress did not
give him enough power, and his
friends urge that if he is powerless, it
is because Congress left him so. The
President did not think this when
he wrote his veto, expressly COM
planning that most of his authority
had been transferred to Grant. Con-.
gress did not think so when it passed
the bill of which Sheridan complain
ed. If Grant is in doubt, it IS, we
fear, because some 'astute LAWYER
has been unsettling him."

A NATIONAL DILEMMA. The New
York Herald thus speaks of the war
between the Federal Executive and

Whichever wins, the result is nm over

GIVING UP TEE WHOLE QUESTION.
The Columbus Journal, the leading
radical paper in Ohio, says:
eff any class of the bonds may be
lawfully paid in greenbacks, why, by
all means, let them be SO paid. ="
That sentence tells the whole story.
It is evidence conclusive that the
proposition to pay off the bonds
with greenbacks is too popular to be
opposed by party which cares no.
thing for principles. The radicals
will back out from, the fight on this
issue. They will themselves promise
to do what SO recently they declared
it was little less than treason to pro-
pose to do-namely, break faith with
the bQnd-holders. M

Rico oia Santiago de Cuba, stating
that formidable revolution had
broken out there-the soldiers Join

gone to the country; that tHe IN
General, Marchiese, had hid himself
or fled; that the revolutionists had
sent steamer to New York to tele.
graph to General Prim, asking him
to place himself ut their head. This
news may not be true, but is probable.
There have been disturbances of the
kind for months past. We hear from
Spain that troops are being sent there,
and officers to command columns in
campaign. A wealthy Cuban Jose
o. FarrilU and another, rich Spa
niard (Valdivielso,) met yesterday, for

The SALE OF LAND. .-DeBow's
ReOieU contains reprint of General
Wagener's address to land-holders of
this State on the subject of immigra-
ton. The editors say, in reference
to the register of lands for sale,
"while we think many Of the parties
rendering their lands for sale have
not caught the right spirit, and either
offer their lands in tracts too large for
the emigrant, or at prices which are
beyond his means, yet in majority
of cases the letters show an en-
lightened spirit of liberality, which
we trust will be generally initiated
throughout the South"
This is thing to which attention
must be paid. Land cannot be sold
in large tracts to actual settlers, and
the true principle is, to sell in small
quantities, at low prices. The profit
must not be expected to come from
the first sale. It must come from the
increased value of the land retained,
which will rise in value in the market
in proportion to the. increased densi-
ty of the population, caused by i'm
migration. There are but few planters
who cannot well afford to sell 100 or
200 acres at tempting price, and
still have more left than they can
properly cultivate. These are the
persons who can offer the proper in
ducements to the immigrant; and
they will have their neighborhood
settled up, and their property dou-
bled in value, while those who will
not sell allow one-half or two-thirds
Of their land to be altogether unpro-
ductive. Gut up the farms, keep the
prices down, and make your natural
advantages known, and immigration
must come.--Charleston Mercury.
