Sally and her mother discussed somo passage

thought Sally was the devil, and ordered her
sons and husband to tie her; they did 80, and

The WAY IT WoRKs.-The New York Journal
ofCommerce, in giving particulars of the enor-
nous imports Of the last four months at that
port, shows that Of the s119, ,517 $50 to which
they amount, only $38 ,121 ,941 we're OF dry
goods; that is, contrary to general belief, dry
goods constitute only about one-third Of all
the foreign products for which we have to pay.
Our legislators have made the United States
the dearest market in the world; consequently
we sell little and buy much. That proposition
is 80 plain that the most illiterate reader can
understand it. The theory Of the protectionist
is, that by making the home market dear, we
encourage home production. The result, as
shown by experience, is that when our markets
are made dear, we lessen our sales to other
countries. our produce costing 80 much they
can buy cheaper elsewhere; while everybody
who can comes here to sell his wares, because
everything is high. This business would soon
collapse Of itself il we had to pay specie for
the difference. But as long as we can pay in
bonds, only close observers see any danger
ahead.

Gold i'm EeOre.ia.

From the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel 10th.
Few of our citizens are aware of the extent
of the mining operations of our State. They
are in the main prosecuted by Northern men
and with Northern capital. The beginning of
such operations involves heavy outlay of capi-
tai for Development and equally heavy disburse-
ments for current expenses. We have no re-
liable data for estimating either the extent of
these developments or the value OF their inte-
rests. Nevertheless, we know that extensive
machinery has been imported the channels OF
streams turned, fumes built, and other extern
sive works undertaken, and that while we have
heard of one or two temporary stoppages, we
have heard of no failures. These enterprises
continue to be pushed forward and expanded
with a steadiness OF purpose upon the
most extended scale, under the direc-
tion of New York and Boston capitalists.
This progress, under the reticenee which Is
observed, is significant, indicating that these
enterprises must be stimulated much more by
current receipts than by prospective gains re-
quiring large and frequent money advances from
the cash-boXes of the projectors and owners.
This interest in mining and minerals does not
seem TO abate. The readers of the Chronicle
and Sentinel will recollect that we have given
them some extracts from the notebook of an
engineer, who, under the pay of n regular or
ganization, was traversng the northern parts OF
this State and South Carolina, prospecting" or
making geological and mineralogical surveys,
These surveys continue to be made quietly and,
we have no doubt, proftably. We have been
shown rich specimens of gold and lead from

from Lincoln counties. Long since the gold belt
has been traced upon the map but except i'm
certain well-knowD localities sucha as Lumpkin and
Carroll counties, the whole regionhas never been
carefully explored. Now, however, every part
of this region, from its western terminus on the
Chattahoochee to the easternmOst boundary,
is being surveyed by experts, with what sue
cess the following incident will show:-SOme

Her Amba assador at WashingtOas
The Washington correspondent Of the Herald
writes yesterday
b 1t was rum0red that the Spanish Minister, Mr..
Roberts, had, through some misunderstanding with
the State Department, demanded his passports and
was about to leave. On inquiry at the proper quar-
ter this is ascertained to be incorrect Mr.. Roberts
thinks there viii be no difficulty between the
United States and Spain on account OF Cuba.
He has no serious complaint to make about
the conduct of our Government, and he has had no
advces from Madrid Of any feeling there against the
United States about the question. On the contrary,
he says the feeling there is of the most friendly
character towards our Government, the leaders in
the new movement there being grateful and pleased
at the sympathy OF the United States with the
efforts OF the Spaniards to establish more liberal
government. With regard to neutrality procama-
ton Mr.. Roberts says that he has made no formal
demand upon our Government to issue one
He does not consider it necessary, in the present
course pursued by the United States, nor does he
think essential to the success OF the Spanish autho
rites in suppressing the Cuban insurrection. SO
long as our Government pursues its present policy
with reference to Cuba Mr.. Roberts thinks the
Spanish Government will be satisfied Referring to
the rumOred triple alliance between England France,
and Spain against the United States, Mr.. Roberts
says that so far Spain is concerned the thing is
absurd. Spain has no disposition to be used by
either England or France in any such business.

towards which the Spanish leaders, well as the

The Murder of Hon. Joseph Adkins, Georgia
state Senator.
TO the Editor of the N. Y. TFi6ltne-Sir:-We were
well acquainted with the Hon. Joseph Adkins State
Senator OF Georgia, who was murdered the other
day in Warren county, and were with him in the
Constitutional Convention and the Legislature of
Georgia until we were outrageOusly expelled from
our seats. Mr.. Adkins was near seventy years of
age, and possessed moral and religious character
which defed the tongue OF defamation He was also
strict member Of the Baptist Church, and beloved
by every honest man who knew him; q man OF sterling
integrity, and consistent with his profession While
we know nothing more concerning his death than
what has been telegraphed through the country we
by the Associated Press dispatches as ascrhes the
deed to a difficulty about woman is q base and un-
mitgated falsehood. The same was charged upon
the Hon. q. w. Ashburn and good old DIR. Aver the
former sixty and the other over seventy years
OF age, who were murdered in the same way. Rape
is invariably charged upon every colored man who
Is shot or hung for his politics. But the truth is
these men have all been brutaly slaughtered be-
cause they dared be Republicans, and possessed such
an amount OF integrity that they dehed both brbes
constituents as other men have done in Georgia they
would be living to-day. -
Mr.. Adkins, with ourselves and other Republicans
was in Washington at the first session OF Congress
we explained our condition, and urged the necessity
OF some legislation that would either protect US or
enable us to protect ourselves But Notwithstanding

Republican legislators OF the State, the petition of

Special Despatch to The Eveling Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-The Navy Depart
ment is in receipt of dispatches to-day from
Admiral Hoff, dated Havana, May 6. The
Admiral says that as he is about to leave Havana
for few days, to relieve the United States
steamer Narragansett at Key West, and for a
change of air, he thought he should give the
department few items about the political stu
ton. He says he had just read despatch from
Commander Telehel, at Key West, stating that
the English steamer Saloador, a supposed Cuban
privateert we have been watching forsom time
at the instance of our Government, has cleared
for st. Thomas via Nassau, without arms or
ammunition of any description. Everything is
remarkably quiet The Spanish authorities
seem confident of suppressing the rebellion
before the expiration of a year, and the rainy
season now coming on precudes the possibility
of any active operations. The probability is that
no news of importance from the interior of the
movements of either party will be received at
present In conversation with Cubans who were
at one time sanguine of success, l find that
those on this end of the island are dissatisfied
from the fact that the rebellion has not been
conducted in a manner to coincide with their
views

Special Despatch to The Eoenifg Telegraph.
EAsToN, PA, May 14.-Brooks, one of the
murderers of Theodore Brodhead at the Della
ware Water Gap, who escaped from prison while
awaiting execution, was captured on Wednesday
by Mr.. Laivrent, five miles west of Port Jervis.
While walking with his captor, Brooks suddenly
plunged down an embankment of thirty feet and
again made his escape. Fresh pursuit was
given. The murderer was afterwards seen, but
at last accounts has not been recaptured.
On Thursday last young man named Robert
Beveridge was arrested at Mahanoy City and
brought before Justice of Peace on the charge
of petty larceny. In default of bail, he was re-

in charge by Constable Watkins, who with his
prisoner, arrived safely at Camella Station, but
on leaving which place Beveridge jumped from
the train, and being pursued by the constable,
turned upon him. Watkins pulled his revolver
and shot the prisoner, the ball lodging in his
stomach, from the effects of which he died yes
