stood watching some anglers on the

The old fisherman was gone so long

them in, and when .ltlIe owner of the

The New Departare--Opinio of a
Confederate Officer.

In q long article printed in the Sa-
vanhah ttGa. Repisbticoa, an ex-con-
federate offer thus bitterly opposes the
proposed new departure; 4 g wTe
at is indeed. a new, departure
where Southern men to achieve pol
itical success, must begin by an appro-
val of all the infamies of radical usurp-
alton. They must not content them
selves by quitely submitting to wrongs
which ysscannot avoid, but they
must approve the wrong, and lie in de-
claring that it is right. In order that
demagogues may obtain Office, and
Jim Fisk an enlarged opportunity to
steal in serder that Citizen ReoseyelP
Or his equally reputable ana distin-
suished ccmpeers may have seats in
Congress and sell Les islation as q BUTCH
er sells meat-in order to whip in the
next President election what do these
editors ask us to d02 We must accept
the situation proclaim that Jefferson
Davis, Robert M. T. Hunter, Robert E.
Lee, Stonewan Jackson and tens of
thousands of Others, were sperjured
traitors; that Congress did right to take
exclusive control Of the suffrage in the
several States take it from white men
and give it to negroes; that the legisla-
ton of the Force bill and the Ku-Klux
bill is of that appropriate nature
plainly authorized by the Constitution
to which Washington and Jefferson at
tached their names, and that Mr.. Dav-
is, in declining to join this new de-
parture,' is guilty of a most heinous Of
fense, to be denounced in language
which Forney would almost beasham-
ed to utter. Are we so ravenously hum
cry for Office, 3 SO eager to catch the
crumbs that the new departure' deins
to throw to us, that we will consent to
this new departure from the pale of
honor and independence? Can we only
achieve partisan success by degrade
ton? IF so, in Gods name, let US die
unsuccessful. We have little, left be-
sides our manhood. We braved death
and suffering, we have borne spoliation
and obloquy, we have indured oppres-
sion and insult, and through all these
trials we have preserved the respect of
civilized world and of ourselves, be-
cause we have maintained our honor.
Let not a contingent bribe, offered by
few bankrupt political hacks at the
North, win US from our allegiance to
honor and truth. If we cannot hold
out any longer and must sell our prin-
ciples, our faith, and our virture, let US
insist on cash down, and not the worth
less promise to pay of few ward poll
ticians, who never, in their palmiest
days, had the faintestconception of the
obligations of a gentleman. If we
must accept the situation to the extent
of abusing those who sacrifice their all
in our service, let us trade with the
Radicals straight out. They will not
exact harder terms, and they have the
power to payus the price ofour treach-
cry. -.4...,., .-.-ts- .,r-.--- -,-- ~ -

a Steamboat Attacked by AlIiga-
- tors in q Florida lsiEer. iiLn-

b. Agentleman who has been stopping
in our midst for some time gives an ac-
count of one of the most terrible scenes
ever recorded in the annals of this
country. While steaming upthe plac-
id waters Of the Ocklawaha river we
witnessed a conflict which madethe hair
stand ON end, never to be forgotten
After rounding Sackett's Point the
stream widens and deepens, and the
water at this end always looks troubled
and black. Suddenly the steamer en-
eountered q sea of alligators, founder
ing and plaSh1ng water in every di-
rection. Their believing shook the
foundation of the waters. The cap
tain says that he never heard nor wit
ness such a scene, and never wish to
again. Before the speed of the little
steamer could be checked, they found
themselves in the midst.of these terri
BILE monsters. The passengers, endeav-
Ored to drive them away by shooting,
and the hands on board beat them
with hand spikes, yet they seemed
more determined to Obstructi the pass
age of the boat. The situation every
moment became more critical, and the
crew and passengers more exhausted,

inevitable. Already three colored
hands had been devoured by these ter
rible monsters and several Others
wounded. Several planks were torn
from the hull, and the steamer was
with difficulty kept from sinking. Just
at this period source of relief came
A huge serpent appeared making his
way from the lakes-the same, it is
supposed, as . that seen at HDevils
Elbow" last fall. The alligators soon
disappeared following the sea devil, or
whatever you may call him, and such
fighing, never was witnessed. A point
below where the river suddenly mar
rows soon became blocked with dead
alligators, and the waters became red
with blood. 1t is difficult to account
for the number and sudden appearance
but the latest theory may throw some.
light upon the subject. 1t is believed
'hylmany thai there is large subter
ranean passage of water between the
Ocklawata and the waters of the Okee
hohee lake, and that these monster:
/ have found their way here in great
numbers, and if notsoon externinated
will obstruct the navigation Of the Ock
lawaha. ~ ~ 3ial.-Si iiia e1"iu

Al Conductor oii.tt5witted BY a Bow
I From the n ew York T1mes.l

- - FROM Ine n eW 1ork Times.
- a few days ago a young lad, under
twelve years OF age, an itinerant glass
merchant was travelling in Broadway
and University place car, when the
conductor demanded an additional fare
for small basket which the lad had,
containing small glass globes. The
young merchant protested against the
demand and refused to pay it, when
the conductor removed him from the
car, leaving the, basket inside. The
Lad disappeared, but remained not far
away to see what would become of the
basket and its contents. The conductor
returning to the inside of the car, saw
that the basket had been left behind.
He, took it out, looked around for the
lad, who was behind a corner watch
ing him, and, not seeing him, left the
basket on the Sidewalk. A policeman
passing Immediately after, and, seeing
no owner for the basket, removed it to
the Fifth Precinct Station. The lad
was still watching, and, seeing his bas-
ket in safe keeping, starting off for the
depot, and made a report of his expul-
sion by the conductor, and demanded
his basket. The basket was not, of
course, forthcoming, and the conduc-
tors proceedings not haying been ap-
proved of by his superiors, they direct
ed him to pay to the young merchant
the full value of his basket and goods.
The youngster came away rejoicing,
having realized good profit and dis
posed of the goods without much
trouble. The next day he called on
Capt. Petit, and in a most innocent
manner demanded his basket and
