Strange Waters s-The Hot sulphur
Springs OF the Rocky Mountains.

A correspondent of the Chicago 1ri-
bune has paid recent visit to the Hot
Sulphur Springs beyond the Rocky Noun.
tains in Little Wind River Valley, and
forty miles from South Pass City, and the
description he gives of them is very inte-
resting. They lie in basin containing
about one hundred acres, and are quar-
Ter of a mile in extent. The middle
spring is bottomless, seeming to come
from the very bowels of the earth, and the
volume of hot water it throws out is posi-
tiveiy immense. The water at the edges
was SO hot that one could hardly hold his
hand in it, and the temperature gradu.
ally increased toward the center. The
water is of deep blue color, strongly
impreguated with sulphur, and very clear.
The Indians have long bathed in the
springs, and call them great medicine
for sick man." and the party of which the
correspondent was member found q
bath very invigorating. 1t is quite Curl
Gus circumstance that within one hun.
dred yards of the springs we'll has been
dug which contains clear, cold water, per-
fectly sweet, and without the least taint
of sulphur. The small streams in this
valley are remarkable for the quantity of
trout and white6sh they contain. Two
gentlemen took seventy four of the
speckled variety in two hours, some of
which weighed nearly three pouuds mo
sooner would the hook teuch the water"
says the correspondent, than there was
a splash, a jerk, and you knew by the
nervous tightening of the line you were
ready to land a fine fish,"

How is it that one can travel all ovel
Europe aud not have bis trunks injured
and yet, in trip to New York and back
his trunks will be almost battered to
pieces2 1t is simply because the porters
aud baggsge-masters are not careful
Baggage is tumbled about here and there,
and nothing short of sheet-iron trunk
can stand it. This is outrageous and in
excusable. If some public-spirited indi.
vidual will make tour and make it a
point to thrash every porter who dumps
his trunk down, or at least break his
head when be breaks the tourists trunk,
the evil may in time be practically
absted. The want Of civility is the great
characteristic Of baggage. as q class.

Negro Magistrates.

The unfortunate occurrence in Barnwell.
the particulars of which we published yes
terday, shows very clearly the consequences
of an attempt on the part Of an ignorant
oolored magistrate to hunt down and arrest
white man.
A white man broke into storehouse for
the purpose of catching negro named
Brown, who, however, made his escape
uninjured. Brown went before Julius
Mayer, mulatto magistrate, and upon his
affidavit q warrant was issued and posse
of armed negroes was called out. Mayer
with Ashe, also mulatto, and the posse of
ten or twenty negroes, went to the house of
Mr.. John A. Best, where they found the
white man who had molested Brown.
Some firing followed, one of the posse being
killed and white man badly wounded.
Mayer withdrew his party and issued IN
order for s'all good citizens" to be at there's
dence of Ashe within twelve hours; negro
being sent on o mule from plantation to
plantation, to call out the colored men Of
the district. Several squads of armed
negroes did make their appearance, but
thanks to the efforts Of some Of the white
citizens, there was no disturbance. On the
following morning the inquest was held,
the magistrate being escorted by a
gang of armed negroes.
There seems to be no doubt that the
white man first spoken of was originally in
the wrong, but this is not the root Of the
difficulty. The whites are ready to obey
the laws and do obey them. When any
additional force is necessary they will
cheerfully sustain the civil authorities in
making an arrest But the whites are all
aware that colored men like Mayer have
no knowledge of the law, and they feel that
when they surrender themselves 10 negro
posse, they do not submit to the civil power
to be punished or acquitted as they deserve,
but place themselves at the mercy of band
of infuriated colored men whose thirst for
blood, when once aroused, is not easily ap-
peased, and who are as likely to shoot them
in the back and leave them to rot in ditch
as 10 turn them over to the custody of o
responsible officer Of the law. The white
people do not refuse to submit to the law Of
the land. They DO hesitate to put them
selves in the power Of posse of negroes,
who have been aroused aud excited by some
real or imaginary wrong. As long as the
law is executed by men who are trusted
there is no such thing as resisting IN
arrest. When, however, white man is to
be seized and carried off by authority of
mulatto who scarcely knows how to write
his own name, it ;s hard to blame the
offender for being somewhat disinclined to
make an unconditional surrender.

Adjusted debt. ........ 81, ,749, l76
Upon this debt the yearly interest at six
per cent. would be $1O4, $50. The net earn
ings of the road last year were $4,000,
so that if no large extraordinary expenses
are incurred and charged to income, the
road should without difficulty be able to
meet it's interest as it falls due.
In conclusion, President Hammett says ::
"The litigation in reference to the foreclo-
sure Of the mortgage, together with that COM
menced by the guarantee bondholders for
their own protection, and also by the Attorney
General for the protection Of the State, re-
mains unchanged since our last annual meet
ing. It is hoped that the parties who COM
menced the suit will see that it is to their in
terest las it certainly isl to withdraw it, and
accept the terms of the company for the re.
newal of their bonds, and thereby aid them in
the readjustment Of all their past due debt,
This cou, Sc would relieve oil the parties Of
much annoyance and be to the interest Of all
concerned, because when that is done-and it
is evident that the company will be able to con-
tinue the payment of their interest promptly
as it natures, which is certainly now clearly de.
monstrated-the guaranteed bonds will ad-
vance in market TO o price much above the
first mortgage bonds, which have not been
exchanged"
We nave given this full synopsis of the
report of the operations and conditions Of
the road, because of its Importance to the
State and to the public at large. The fig.
ures which we publish will enable each
person to Judge for himself what are the
prospects of the company, whose affairs, it
must be said, have been managed by Pres
ident Hammett with economy, sagacity and
discretion.

nies in the United States during the entire irst

The Association was first started by the most
wealthy and influential citizens OF St. Louis, for
the purpose of changing the current of Life Insur-
ance and Life Insurance capital from the East to
the West and South, and as its plan is liberal and
lust to every section State and district the wealthy
men Of the West and South generally are insuring
their lives in it, to the exclusion OF other companies.
This is shown by the fact that the policies issued
during the months of December aud January are OF
an averange amount OF 81 1863 a. drawing an aver

The largeet average attained by any other compa-

ANDovER.--Rev. Mr.. Carey from
Union Theological Seminary, N. y, will
sojourn in Simonsville during the next
three months, and will preach there dur
ing his stay.
In the TIMES of April 23d, last, an
item appeared stating in substance that
Mr.. b. +. Richardson had figured quite
extensively in Andover during the past
winter, and that he had proved to be an
impostor, and had been in States Prison
for crime. Our correspondent now de-
sires to retract the whole statement, every
word of it from beginning to end, and as
founded upon nothing but false informa-
ton given to him at the time, and it APP
pears further that there was not olly no
truth in the statement, but that Mr.. Rich
ardson was in this instance at least, the
victim of malicious SANDER Having
thus put in the retraction of our cores
pondent, we desire to add a word for
more general use. We know moth
ing whatever of the Mr.. Richardson
above named, but any parties who would
retail such a SANDER about any man, and
then impose it upon the newspapers for
publication, are little less, if any, deeper
in guilt, than that which they attempt
to foist upon their victim.
