Seldom has it been our lot to record
the decease of n person which has
caused so much sadness, especially
amongst the old settlers of our city,
as in the issue of the 10Th ult., no.
ticing the death of our former towns
man, DIR. Geo. w. Post, whose skill
rs n practicing physician, was Sec
ond to none. AS a citizen, genial,
hospitable, kind, aud as business
man, prompt, energetic, thoughtful,
provident, but like thousands OF
other energetic men, fortune seemed
to coy of his embrace, and when al
most within his grasp, had at various
times eluded 1t, Notwithstanding his
acknowledged ability and untiring
energy.
There was one investment, the
doctor knew would not fail him as
an investment, or his loved wife and
little ones i'm that dark hour when
the fell messenger should summon
him from his earthly tenement, lcav-
ing them unprotected to the buffet
ings of an unfeeling world.
That investment was Life Insur-
ance. DIR. Post had policy of $40,
600 in the Washington Life Insur-
ance Co., of New York, and his wis
dom in so doing is now apparent.
DIR. Post died on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. On the 10th the proofs were
forwarded tothe Company ana on the
23rd, the Company, without solicita-
ton on the part Of agents, forwarded
a check for the whole amount.
Such promptness on their part can
but secure the admiration of all, as
the following letter will testify: 80.

BURIED ALIvE.-The West Union
Gazette says:
"a horrible occurrence is related to
us rs having TRANSFERRED in the fami-
ly of l.. G. Byam, a former resident
of this county, well known to nearly
all our citizens. While absent from
home his little daughter fell from a
fence, and was taken up for dead.
She was buried before his return. He
was so grief stricken as to feel that
he could never he content until he
had looked once more upon her
sweet face. The body was taken up,
and the coffin opened, when it was
discovered that it lay on its face, and
that the hands were both clutched
full of hair, giving unmistakable ev-
dence that the child was buried
alive,u

WHEAT 49, MONEY Matters
Wheat is still tumbling. The prices
ranging yesterday on our streets,
were from So cents to 80 cents. This
has caused empty streets. Farmers
are holding on to their grain in
view of rise. It Is owing to pam
lie In the Eastern markets caused by
spectators, and not on account of
the enormous crops as many suppose.
1t is the opinion of many that the
election will start wheat up again.
There seems to be q general com
plant of stringency in the money
market.
New York dispatches say that bor-
rowers are kept In constant alarm 10y
reports that the pressure will be un-
precedentiDgly severe. Lenders ex-
ercise the closest scrutiny in the
choice of culIaterals. Mercantile
houses have also taken the alarm and
are marking down their goods. Gold
is still declining and Greenback
are going up.

ATLANTA, August ia Republican mass
meeting was held in this city to-day, and was
addressed, by Ex-Governor Joe Brown, James
johnson, Joshua Hill and others. The crowd
was composed Of about fifteen hundred ne
groes and three hundred whites. Of the latter
at least one-third were Democratic spectators.
A negro speaker said, among other things, that
be had no confidence in the white man who
p1vforsed to side VIII thn --o.~---EHe be
heved the white folks we're for themselvesonly,
and that 'the whites who pretend to be for us
will desert us in the time Of trouble" BE ad-

= The Republican State Convention has been
in session here to-day, and has nominated an

= The Republicans have agreed in caucus to
pass bill providing for the choice Of Presi-

white race we find thousands Of the more honest
and intelligent negroes marching boldly TO the
rescue Of Democratic principles ana tne resto-
ration of constitutional government.
We have never known such sudden, e5ten-
sive and overwhelming changes as havs
been wrought within the last twenty days:
We had calculated that, with the accession OF
the ten or fifteen Thousand white votes dis
frsnchised by the Military bills, and the Ger.
tainty of a free election and an honest count OF
the ballots, we should carry the State by fifteen
or twenty thousand majority. But the cur
rent Of changes has set 80 strong with the
Democracy-the Generalization Of the Radi-
calls is 30 complete the organization of the
Democracy 80 perfecO-that if our friends con-
tinue their exertions to the end Of the cam
paign with only half the zeal and activity they
now manifest we shall carry the State by forty
or fifty thousand majority for Seymour and
Blair.
This is no wild prediction. 1t is based upon
facts and figures which assure us Of IT'S approx
innate certainty.

MURDERS AT SEL-AN ENaLIsHMAN MURDERS
Two OF HIS SHR's OFF1oERsSAs B HfMsELF
KILLED By AN AMERIcAN.-The; Dutch vessel
Fennichiaua arrived at Pernambuco ON. the
25th Of June with 9 cargo of jerked meat from
Montevideo. During the voyage the following
scenes took place: On the 18th the first mate
U. j. de Groth) ordered an Englishman called
James Rudger, shipped at Montevideo, to take
the wheel from him, when the latter strnck
the mate upon the head and knocked him
down. I He then cut his throat and threw the
body into the sea. The cook, j. Biemhold, was
awakened by the splash, and believing some
man overboard, and to throw 'pianks and ropes
into the water. While thus engaged, Rudger
sprang at him, split his head open with hatch
et,i and threw him the sea-. The captain
and second mate we're awakened by the noise,
aud the second mate, in coming up the COM
'panion-way, was struck at, but missed, by
the hatchet welded by Rudger, and he jumped
back. Whereupon Rudger closed the hatch
and piled chains on it to. prevent it being open
ed by them. He then called the two remaining
men, an Englishman named Nicholas Chester:
and an American called John: Hughes, and forc-
ed them by fear Of him to obey him. he then told
them that he was about to scuttle the vessel
and abandon her, but they persuaded him to
wait until the vessel was near land. On the
21st, Rudger uncovered the hatch to see what
was going on inside, and while so doing Capt.
Hottie attempted to shoot him with a gun, but
this missed fire. Rudger then hastily cloeed
the hatch, and called to the men on deck to
put large stone on top. While he, was wait
ing for this the captain fired at guess, but the
ball only scored Rudger's leg. This, however,
had the effect OF alarming him. and he ordered
the boat to be got ready while he himself made
preparations for firing the vessel; but his COM
panions again d1ssuaded him from leaving her
so far from land. at night Chester went to
bed, Hughes was at the. wheel, and Rudaer,
who had not slept for three days, laid down
near it, armed, and with bis lhatchet close to
him, telling Hughes to wake him when land
was in sight. In q few minutes he was fast
asleep, and Hughes then left the wheel and
seizing the hafchet, buried it in Rudger's
head, who tried to rise and draw his knife, but
fell dead before second stroke. Hughes then
shouted that all was safe, and, after throwing
the body into the sea, opened the hatch;
whereon, after some hesitation, the two i'm
prisoned men came on deck. No money or
other valuable portable property. existed on
board to tempt eupiditY, so that the ferocious
conduct of Rudger must have originated from
