THREATENED STARVATION. Surveys have
lately been made for a railroad through the
White Mountain notch The engineers have
sometimes been compelled to content them
selves with such provisions as they could
get at solitary farm-houses among the noun
tains. One day party Of four surveyors
stopped at house in the woods, aud asked the
good woman if she could furnish them din.
ner, She said her husband was gone and she
had nobody to kill her chickens, but if they
were willing 10 put up with trout she would
dc what she could for them. Noyes, who was
spokesman, turned gravey to his hungry
companions, and asked them if they felt as 4
they could "put up with trout2"
They expressed their willingness to try, 50
they went into the kitchen, where the good
woman showed them a great milk pan full Of
shining trout; she said her boy had poor luck

Washington, laying before the Post
Master General, a written statement of
the whole affair, and requesting that a
Government detective be sent to work
up the case. 1t may not surprise some
to learn, that the communication was
treated with silent contempt by the
Honorable official, and no notice taken
of this high handed outrage.
II is stated that Cousart had never
given bond. If.this is~eerrect, it may
in a measure account for the leniency
of the Post Master General, as it is pos
sible the Honor 'able gentleman may be
made responsible for all losses. Persons
who have suffered loss in this instance
should press the matter to the full ex-
tent of the law.-Lancaster Ledger.

EX PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The millions of Southern hearts whose
synlpathies follow Jefferson Davis wher-
ever he may go, will be pleased to learn
that his health has been much improved.
The consideration and respect with
which he has been received in Europe
is not the less tribute to the cause he
represented than to the man himself,
and is gratifying to his friends in A
melica. We cannot close this subject
without paying passing tribute to the
bearing of Mr.. Davis-in imprisonment
in sutferings and exile. "Of firm and
noble SOUL" he has borne himself, since
the surrender, erect,-giving the world
assurance of MAN. Bowiug his haugb-
ty head to none but his God, he will
live and die soul unconquered.

SEVEN PINEs.-Two hundred years

SEVEN P1NEs.-Two hundred years
ago or more, party from jamestown
encamped among the bushes, about six
miles from present site Of Richmond,
and during the night they were invited
to "corn-dance," where their Indian
neighbers celebrated the return of the
harvest. In order to guard against the
danger of losing thier way while return
ing without their dusky guide they
searched for landmarks. And, among
other things, they selected seven pines
which grew from the same stump, and
chipping these trees with hatchets, they
concluded they could safely retrace their
steps by the way of the "seven pines"
The spot became afterward camping
ground for white hunters and as they
separated in the morning, wherever they
might be, they usually arranged to meet
at noon under the "seven pines" Thus
it was named, which, after the lapse of
over two centuries, was to be known
throughout the civilized world as the
Battlefield of Seven Pines.

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-"Dr.
Chalmers beautifully says: The little
that have seen in the world and known
of the history of mankind, teaches me
to look upon their errors in sorrow, not
in anger. When I take the history of
one poor heart that has sinncd and suf-
fered, and represent to myself the strug.
gles and temptations it passed through;
the brief pulsations Of joy the tears of
regret; the feebleness of purpose; the
scorn of the world that has little charity

We have heeE placed in possession of
additional facts in relation to the recent
robbery of the mails and the forging Of
the names Of several persons by our alb
sconding Post Muster, j. H. W. Cou-
sart. From letter received from New
York, we learn, that check drawn in
favor of Hasseltine & Chafee on the
Park Bank of New York City fors 5000

tions to remit the amount by express to
Rock Hill, S. c., in the name of some
other party 1--WE are not in possession of
the name of this party bui presume it is
KNOWN. The Park Bank suspicioned
that all was not right and enclosed the
check and letter to the First National
Bank of Charleston, directing that if
all was right to send the modey as re-
quested. The cashier of the First Ma
tional detected the forgery Immediately.

and came very near being successful,

check the Park Bank would have cash.

THE CHINESE.
Report of the Agent appointed by the
JfemDhis Convention.

Memphis Convention.
We had the pleasure, yesterday, of
meeting and conversing with General
W. Il. Miles, who has just returned
from California, to which State he was
sent by the Immigrant and Labor Con-
veution hcld at Memphis, last July, for
the purpose of investigating and report.
ing upon Chinese labor, its adaptability
to the wants of the South and the prac-
ticability of its cheap introduction
General Miles devoted one month to
travelling, examining the country and
observing and studying the people and
their institution. In advance of his re-
port we can state that the General con-
frmed the opinions of all intelligent and
impartial persons who have visited CAL.
ifornia, as to the great value, superiority
and cheapness of Chinese labor. An
active, sagacious aud inquisitive gentle
man he made thorough and minute
examination into the manners, habits
and customs of the Chinese. He visi-
ted the various establishments in which
they are employed, the woolen factories,
the machine shops, the foundries, the
farms, the mines and on railroads; in
fine, in every department of industry
and manufactures, and he found in every
relation and position they were regard
ed as the cheapest, most reliable and
tru tworthy laborers in the State.
As house servants, they are esteemed
as incomparably superior to all others in
their cleanliness, docility and fidelity
Their labor can be. obtained at about
one. third the rate paid for other lator.
1t is for this reason they are prosecuted
and oppressed by certain classes in Cal
iforria. These classes, embracing a
large number of voters, political aspl-
rants and party leaders, find it to their
interest to sanction the dcuunciation of
the Chinese, but even these admitted to
General Miles that for the Southern
p!auta'ion there could be no better Ia
burers. General Miles assures US that
the Chinese are more than ordinarily
shrewd in making bargain and taking
c1re of themselves.
Though the mission and purposes of
General Miles were seriously interfered
with ond discouraged by BoutwelPs let
ter to the Collector of New Orleans, he
had every assurance that if proper Sc
curity be afforded against any attempts
ON the part of the Government to pre-
vent the introduction of these laborers,
the full demand of the South could be
in few years satisfied, at rates which
would render it the cheapest and best
labor in the world, and to the productive
wealth and improvement of our section.

The Supreme Court of California has
rendered an important decision in sup
port of the real rights Of woman. A
wife was driven from her home
by her husband, and had no means
of support. She brought suit to
compel him set aside out of his proper
ty acquired since their marriage, suf-
fcient amount to sustain her and her
child. Under the old English law,
such an action would not lie, but a ma

of fine weather, during which time
a vast amount of weeds have been
Stayed, and other work done by the
farmers, put now again the windows
of heaven are open, and the rain is
pouring down in torrents.
II is extremely unfavorable for the
wheat, which is already greatly dam

and are all produced by the excess

1t is also damaging to tho corn,
greatly retarded already by wet

The farmers are greatly dcspond-

we have noticed that the crops gen.

However, it may be regarded GER

seemed to warrant, provided it rains
