fitted for draining pumps, as well as
running circular saw mills. Having
just previously described a similar
article, 1t would be superfaous to
enter into a minute description of
this.
But it is due to thelspiritof modern
enterprise aud discovery, as well as
to Mr.. William Heilman, to rivet
especial attention TO the fact that this
engine is literally portable, being
superstructed on wheels. By this

The Natchez and jackson Railroad

The surveying corps under the direction
of Mai. b. II. Greene who have been at work
upon this important road for the last three
months have.reached Natchez. In a COM
munication to the Railroad Committee of
that place, Maj. Green promises at an early
day to make as near as practicable an esti-
mate of the cost of first class road.
The Democrat gives the following partic-
ulars of the survey.
"Major Green recently completed, the first
experimental survey; or, TO make it more
clear, he projected the main line from jack
son, to point about equi-distant from Jack
son and Natchez. From that point to Nat
chez he retraced and examined the old bed
of the NatcheZ and Jackson Railroad, as
instructed TO do by the Committee. The
Major will now resume the survey, tracing
out air line from NatcheZ to the point
where he first diverged from the main line
to reach the old road-making the distance
remaining to be surveyed, something over
fifty miles. This work will be completed
during the month of August, after which
Maj. Greene will submit his report upon the
relative cost, practicability and prospects of
the two routes, and the Committee will de-
termine which one of them shall be adopt

The Richmond Enquirer states truly
that the defeat of Wells, the ultra Radi-
cal candidate in Virginia by Walker,
Liberal Republican, sis great step
towards the pacifcation Of this distracted
country" and adds:
'The programme ddoptedhere l,ill yro6aJlg be
initiated in Mississippi and Tenas, and the ne1t
Congress- s5iH close UP this 6aisi1es Of reconstrac-
ton.
Animated by desire TO terminate the
ruinous contest of the past four years with
Congress, the white people of Virginia have
accepted this constitution. Twc-thirls oft
white vote has probably been east for it.
and it is adopted by majority of perhaps a
hundred and fifty thousand.
In the same spirit the Conservative party
determined to withdraw their State ticket.
and to support the Republican ticket put
forth by the True Republicans" 1t was no
easy matter to rally the people of Virginia
to this programme. They fancied that Con-
gress had left item full liberty of choice at
the polls in the selection of their State off
GERS, and violent prejudices had to be over
come to induce them to support straight
out Republican ticket. But the press, and
the public men of the State, believed that ii
was imperatively necessary to go before
Congress with the constitution under Re-
publican auspices, and by unprecedented
exertions they finally brought the whole
people to acquiesce in this view.
They did not stop here they voted for
Republican candidates for CanOreSs such
men as Gibson, Hunnicutt Booker, Mcken-
zie, Mines, Segar.
We have thus abundantly complied with
the EXTREMIST requirements of the Recon-
struction acts-in spirit as well as in the let
ter obeying not only the specific directions
of those acts, but also carrying out tire I'M
written requirements of Congress.
If there are new difficulties started, il
there is any manifestation of dissatisfaction
with the status of Virginia-the responsible
ty-eyen they being judges-must rest OIL
that body"

GALLATIS, July IA, 1869.
There was somewha of a stir In our quiet
little village on yesterday. About week
ago the city Marshal of Beauregard quite
an aged MANI was called upon to arrest two
young gentlemen who had imbibed too free
ly, and were cutting up generally, and re-
fused to submit to his authority quietly,
consequently the old gentleman kinder
knocked each of them on the head with his
stick and succeeded in locking them up in
the calaboose. One OF them conceiving that
his character was badly damaged (worse
than his head) went before Esquire Wilkin-
son and sued out a warrant to keep the
peace, also charging the town Marshal with
an assault and battery. The warrant was
offered to the Deputy Sheriff, who declined
taking it. 1t was then placed in the hands
of Constable Handy (colored) who took a
bully of his own stripe, and went down TO
arrest this old man of more than sixty sum-
mers. Handy walked into his house and
sat down remarking that he had a warrant
tor him. The old man, without saying a
word. walked into the back room and came
OUT WITH pistol III eacn manu-. hOldlnS the
muZZles down. The gallant Constable re-
treated from the house, leaving his horse
The old man halloed to the fleeing official to
come back and get his horse; that he would
not hurt him; but all to no purpose. Han
dy made double quick time for Gallatin.
The old man, accompanied by a friend also
made his way to Gallatin and delivered HIM
self up to the Sheriff. The Sheriff was pre-
pairing to 90 down with a possee, to Beaure-
gard to arrest the old man. lie gave bond
to keep the peace and entered into recogGi-
zance to appear Oh Friday and answer the
charge of assault and battery, and gave his
recOgniZance to appear before the next term
of the Circuit Court, to answer the charge
of resisting an officer in the sum of two
thousand dollars.
Expecting to see an exaggerated account
OF the affair in the next Pilot, L have writ
ten this that the public may know the true
facts of the case. Had the Sheriff received
the warrant, as it was his duty to do, there
would have been no trouble. Every war
rant issued. known as a State ease, is placed
in the hands of this constable. it is the
Sheriff7s duty to attend TO all such cases, or
have it done, and not suffer it to go into the
hands of a man that he knows is offensive to
the people. CITIZEN.

The Orphans Home

The writer has just returned from attend
ing meeting of the Board of Trustees OF
the orphans Home, at Lauderdale Springs.
1here was very full attendance of the
members OF the Board. The main business
considered was the necessity of providing
another Home for the Orphans-the prop
erty now occupied having passed from the
possession of the Trustees. Several eligible
and desirable sites were offered on more OF
less liberal terms. 1t was determined, how
ever, to postpone any contract for sixty
days, and the committee was instructed to
invite proposals for other sites. The Exec
tive Committee was Instructed to issue
another appeal to the people of the State to
secure the necessary funds. About seven
thousand dollars is now on hand. 1t will
require about as much more to make re-
spectacle commencement.
VIII not our brethren of the press second
this good move? Present the matter to the
people, and the money will be raised, and
hundreds of the orphans of our State will
be provided with good Home, where they
will be trained for usefulness and respecta-
bility. The Executive Committee will sug-
gest that collection be taken up in every
Church and Sabbath School in the State be-
fore the 18th of September. Let 1t be done
All monies for the Home should be sent to
the Treasurer, I. j. Dupree, brooksville, OF
may be handed to any member of the Board
of Trustees.
There are now 1S5 children at the Home.
The number will be kept up to 200. The
children are neatly clad, have a sufficiency
of good, plain food, and all look happy
They attend School six hours each day. The
Orphans Home Banner is printed on the
grounds. 1t has now a circulation of near
ly two thousand copies. Several of the or
phan's are learning to be printers.

The Great Victory over the Bitter

From the Richmond Enquirer.

The returns come in like a flood. 1t is a
pefect Waterloo. We have killed, wounded,
and captured their whole army; taken all
their flags, guns, and carpet-bags.
There are 13S members of the House of
Delegates. As the matter stands from the
returns in this afternoon of Wednesday, the
Walker party has 80 member, the Wells par
ty Al members, and are doubtful. Then
comes the Senate, in which we shall have
the majority. But if we have only ffty ma
jority on joint ballot, it will be what the late
Mr.. Bouts called "a good working majority >
We can get along. 1t will, however, proba-

The LAST OF THE MoHICANs.-The last of
the returned Confederates arrived in the city
day or two ago. His name is Ashley. He
entered the Confederate army early in the
war as a member of the Sixth North Careli-
ma regiment, and since the war has remain
ed in the hospital in that State, suffering
from wounds and disease. He is subject
also to fits, and was attacked by one Yester-
day on the streets. The poor fellows race
seems to be nearly run. but he is endeavo-
ring to make his way home in the vicinity
of Henderson, Kentucky, from whence he
started out at the call Of his country. His
father also entered the Confederate service
and was killed. Several gentlemen, Mr.. Hen
~ Sharp among them, have taken the safer
er, who is in destitute circumstances, in
charge, and will provide for his reaching
his home in the most comfortable manner
possible.-Memphis Avalanche.

gentlemen did exert themselves TO defeat
the object of the Radical party as pressed
by its committee, and perhaps 1t is very
much owing TO their exertions that the rad
zeal scheme was defeated. For this we have
reason to be thankful to them. 1t Is certain
then that one party was not only in favor
of the provisions of the constitution but in
favor OF having it forced upon us; and it is
just as certain that of the other party some
opposed the whole scheme, and all their rep
resentatives resisted the effort TO force the
rejected constitution on us, and this surely
entities them to our support. No one can
doubt that by the success Of this party we
shall have a more conservative administra-
ton of our State government, aud | shall
rejoice in its triumph over its rival.

GALLATIN, MISS July II, 1869.
Mr.. EDITOR: saw in late issue of the
CLARION, a pretty rough notice of Colonel
Ames' circus and menagerie. Now, be-
longed to the COloners show a spell last
year, and feel bound to say to the people,
that, no matter how just the criticism of
THE CLARION may be, as to the animals al
luded to, they, 1.-THE people,) must not be led
into the error of suppOsing that the small
collection. known as "Ames' ass-sort-ment,"
in this county. is any part OF the exhibition
so tartly noticed. Our Copiah specimens,
were selected by another Ames, for another
purpose entirely, and if anybody wants TO
bet on a ''poor-show," We will put our
brutes against the world.
