SOMETHING NEW.

The following dispatches appeared in
the Nashville UNION AND AMERICAN Of a
few days back, as coming from Augusta,
Georgia:
augusta, July 15.-The Governor
and council to-day pardOned Miss Hen
rietta York, convicted Of secret delivery
1t was a case similar to the Hester
Vaughan affair.
"The cornerstone Of large cotton
flctory to be erected here by Senator
Srrague and brother was laid to-day with
appropriate ceremonies"
We think it will be found news to the
citizens of this place that Miss Henri
eta York, sconvicted Of secret delivery
has been pardone1 by the Governor ard
Council;" and that 'the corner stone o.
large cotton factory, the property oil
Sprague &Bro., has been laid with ap
propriate ceremonies We are aware
that the Governor has been going il
rather strong on the pardon business
recently, but do not think that he ha;
had an opportunity Of exercising his pre-
| rogative in a case of "secret delivery
We also regret that we are obliged to
deny the truth Of the cotton factory state
ment. Messrs. Sprague & Bro, have
made no purchases in this city as yet,
and consequently the cornerstone an
nouncement is rather premature.-AU

50 ALL A JOKE &"
Dying Kick of the loyal League in
Cooke County.


Cooke County.
Upon learning Of the removal of the
corrupt and inefficient registrar of Cooke
county, and the appointment by Gov.
Senter OF an honest and capable gentle>
man to the office, the loyal league" Of
that county waXed indignant. The sd-
herents of the five LIS" gathered them>
selves together at Newport and, after vas
rious outbursts Of native elOquence by
the Stokes men, comprising the meeting,
adopted a resolution that Senter ought
at once to be impeached and convicted Of
all the high crimes contained in the blue
b,ok of the league"
A committee was appointed with in
structions to wait on the new registrar
and inform him that the league" had
determined that no more certificates
should be issued in that county, the
Governor on the contrary, notwithstand~
irg.
The registrar blandly informed his WIS.,
itors that, having full confidence in the
justice O. the Governors action, and be>
ing, withal, constitutionally indisposed to
being "bluted,' or imposed upon, ne
would therefore courteously suggest to
the leaguers, that, upon any interference
with his sworn duties to administer the
law and grant certificates to all loyal
men men, he would elbow the brains out
of the first man that dared lift finger
in interference with his constitutional
rights"
The registrar was not disturbed.
Next day the league committee watt
ed upon him, little fearful that he
might misunderstood their motive and
send some of them to Jericho or there
aboutS, and told him not to mind the
little unpleasantness of the previous day
as it was 'all joke"
Cooke county is consequently good fol
two hundred and fifty majority for Sem
ter.-KnOrVHie Press and Herald.

Rape i'm Warren Coun,x

The McMinnville New Era chronicles 8
case of rape which occurred in that county
recently, and also two attempts at the
Same time, as follows:
Last Sunday night a week several
negroes left town on their way to Central
Factory, about three miles out, where most
OF them lived; among them was one Dave
Williams. This negro parted from the
others at the factory, remarking as he left
that if they heard him "holler," they must
come to him. He went Immediately TO
the house Of Mrs. Milley J. Barrett, a
respectable widow lady; forced open the
door; laid violent hands upon her; carried
her little ways from the house, where he
accomplished his hellish purposes, and
left the premises. He was afterwards ar
rested, identified, and is now in Jail await
iAg the sitting Of our next Criminal Court.
There Is another negro-Henry Smith
IN jail here for an attempt to commit the
same offence on the daughter of Mr..
Ovens, of Ohio, now residing near Mud
creek, about eight miles from town. Miss
Owens was out gathering blackberriep,
when she was attacked by the black mon
otoiy "uen Win supernatural e0OrL-
tearing her clothes nearly off-she made
her escape TO the house Of Hickory Crib
bic, near neighbor. This occurred
fortnight ago. The negro was captured,
and now awaits his trial.
But few weeks since we chronicled
similar attempt upon the body of Mrs.
Cruise, in which she was saved, and the
negro shot by Mr.. Meade. Such occur
rences are becoming too frequent not to
warm the blood of cur people; and unless
there is speedy discontinuauce of such
conduct the slow process of law will not
be awaited to bring its punishment.

like, seems anxious to sell its birth-right
for a mess of pottage. The administra.
ton seems without wisdom. Unless we
except Boutwell,, none of the Cabinet
grasp the situation. Sometimes doubt
if they can. Here is man of crochets,
too. self-opiaionated to be teachable.
Rawlins is good, means to be Radical,
but believes in his chief too closely to
act out his own life and thought. Robe
son no one knows much about. Cress
well cares more for the building up of
himself in Maryland, and for the de.
structio1. of the real Radicals there,
who are7ed BY Judge Bond, than for
aught else. Coz betrayed Radicalism
long since. All he is after is the rever-
sion of John Sherman's seat in the Sem
ate. As for Fish, he is not of us, nor
ever was. A respectable silver gray
Wing he belongs to another strata. 1t
is fortunate that Gov. Boutwell, is not
only man Of ability, with a clear
knowledge of affairs, but possesses def
mite ideas, guided by a strong and mas
terful will, when he chooses to exercise
The same.

THE ERIE DISASTER.

of the Victims,

Ofthe Victims.
Correspondence of the New York Times.
PORT JERvIs, N. Y, July 1S.-James
Griffin, the engineer who it is avered,
by his own carelessness sent eight or
more souls into eternity by the horrible
disaster at Mast Hope, Penn, was arr
rested, as announced in, the city papers,
at Salamanca. Adjective at that place
took him to Great Bend, Penn, where a
warrant from the authorities was issued,
and he was arrested and placed in charge
Of officers until the arrival of police from
Port Jervis and constables from Pike
county, who put him on board the first
train east, arriving in Port ] ervis yester-
day at noon. Upon the arrival Of the
train carriages were in waiting, and he
was quietly conducted to one of them,
and Immediately started for Milford, the
county seat of Pike county. A crowd had
congregated at the depot to get glimps,
Of the prisoner; but the railway officials
managed the affair so quietly that he
was on his way to Jail ere his friends or
the curious could catch a glimpse of
him. At Milford he was given in
charge of Sheriff Corneliuson, who placed
him in Jail. l understand an effort will
be made tomorrow to secure his release
on bail. The prisoner states that he was
asleep ut the time of the accident, and
pulled the throttle Of his engine while in
dreamy and half unconscious state.
He says he is extremely sorry, but that
he ought not to be punished severely. He
confesses that he was to blame in allow
ing himself to go to sleep, but thinks his
fireman was asleep also, and says that he
depended on his fireman. He adds that
he means to tell the whole truth, and that
no man ever worked harder for promotion
and the interests Of the road than he.
He states that after the accident he went
to Lackawaxen, by the advice of friends,
and then to his home in Susquehanna.
Having sister living near Salamanca, his
wife and friends advised and urged him
to stay with his sister until the affair had
blown over, and he could return in safety.
He did not mean to run away.
The prisoner is small in stature, and
seems reconciled to his arrest, but seems
somewhat fearful that he will be rigOr-
ously dealt with.
The bodies of the victims Of the dis
aster, who have not been identified,
were placed in neat collins, and yesterday
morning were inferred in Laurel Grove
Cemetery, in one grave, side by side.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Messrs. Mansfield, BottsfOrd and
Vancleve. A largo concOurse Of citizens
followed the funeral cOrtege to the GEM
etery. This afternoon the funeral
Of David Baer, the German who was
killed and burned, took place from the
German Lutheran Church. His remains
were inferred In the cemetery.

Moonlight Excursion on the Cum
berIRnd


The boating club in commsnd Of Commc
dore Horton had a most delightful ride a
few nights since on the Cumberland. They
have an elegantly sized boat which
walks the water like thing of life"
The last eIcuraion composed of Messrs
Robinson, Whiteworth, Aiken, Dickinson
and D1nawsy and an equal number Of
young ladies, was one long to be remem-
bered. The scene-the soft moonlight
bathing the surrounding bluff in its soft
sheen, ten thousand stars mirroring
themselves in the trembling wave, the
lights Of the city twinkling in the distance,
and :he murmur of The riPples, as they
complained to the shore, blending with the
melody which gushed from the hearts oil
the young lsdie1, made it almost like a
fairy scene "a creation Of an inspire d
painter, How the heart melts WHEN
womsn's voice steals upon it through the
moonbeams And shall we say no gallant
gondolier did not dip his oar more grace
fully under this inspiration?
How natural, that under this spirit
exhilaration, the heart should speak its
thrObbing thoughts in poetry. Listen to a
fair one, around whose head the moonlight
has burg a sheen, as mild as the uimbus
which hangs around the brow Of q saint
IT'S sweet to hear
At midnight Oh tke blue and moOnlit deep
The song and oar Of Adria's gondolisr.
BY distance mellOWed, DER the waters sweep
lis sweet to see the evening star appear;
lis sweet to listen as the night-winds creep
From leaf to leaf; tits sweet to view on high
Inc rainbow, based on ocean, span the sky"
To which, of course, her lover, ever
ready al her bidding to plunge into the
bosom of the Cumberland, to dive for
pearls or muscle shells, or to "drag up
drowned honor by the locks" responded /:
But sweeter sill than this. than these. than
all,
Is first and passionate Iove-it stands alone,
Like Adams recollection of his fall "
We cannot be expected to tell all the
sweet things which were said on this occa-
sion, but enough hassbeen said to show
that these moonlight rides on the Cumber-
lanCbtre very pleasant.
