LATEST FROM THE FRoNr.-From in
formation received in this city. yester-
day, we learn that late on the Saturday
evening preceding the night on which
Boss Strong was reported to have been
killed. he. together with Henry Berry
Lowrey. Andrew Strong and Stephen
Lowrey were seen on the East side of
the Juniper Swamp, with deer which
they had killed, or stolen from some one
else who had killed it. Tom Lowrey
Was not in the crowd. Our informant
states, however, that Mcqueen or Dona-
hoe, did shoot at Boss Strong, as re-
ported, but that the ball glanced, only
inficting slight flesh wound; and it is
said, further, that Henry Berry Lowrey
told Andrew Strong's wife to report Boss
Strong as being dead, "and see who
wonld rejoice at the information" This
is the latest from the front.

The MEETING At HmRnsrAu HAIL.

The MEETING AT HrBRRnrAw HAM
There was alarge and spirited meeting
at Hibernian Hall. last night, composed
of citizens of both races. and without
regard to politics, to make nominations
for Aldermen of Ward 8. Interesting
and etirring speeches were made by Mr..
John Seegera, J. Baohman. Esq, Col.
j. P. Thomas, and by Adam johnson.
The latter, however, favored the
nominees already appointed by the rarty
club.
The nominations made are W. B. Gu
lick and G.. Diercks, white. and John
Boatwright. colored. OF the two white
nominees, we need say nothing. They
are well known as honest and capable
men OF business. aud largely interested
in keeping down city expenditures The
eolored nominee is not so generally
known, but he was warmly endorsed at
the meeting by those who do know him.
and we feel assured is in pvery way fit
person for the position.
There will be meeting in Ward Q on
Tuesday night next. of tho same charac-
ter as this one at Hibernian Hall. It ia
the general opinion that no change is de-
sirable as to the colored nominees now
in the field from that Ward-Wilder and
Carroll. Such also is the case, we be-
lieve, as to Ward l.
DR.. Taylor presided at the meeting
last evening, and Mr.. J. Guion acted az
Secretary. working committee of five
were appointed; also, a committee to
consult with committees from the other
Wards in regard to q nomination for the
Mayoralty, in case the candidate named
by the politicians is not acceptable.

NO Pay.

The members md attaches OF tho Gene
raj Assembly have not been paid their
per diem and mileage. The holders OF
pay certificates. devoid of other means
0; raising the wind, had either to go
homo without funds. leaving their board
and other bills here in town unpaid, or
else to discount their certificates to the
brokers or knowing ones Of the ring for
about half of their value. This is no
hardship to o large number Of members,
who have increased the amount they
would receive legally for their per diem
and mileage. by the lucrative sale OF
their votes and influence during the see-
sion; but to ell honest members and to
the innocent pages, clerks, &c., many OF
whom arc wholly without means, this
failure to pay them their honest earnings
is deep injury, and will oause much
suffering. If the State was benefited by
such course. there might be some little
excuse for it, but even then it would be
dishon orable. But who is it that profit
by itP The brokers make little. It is
legitimate business for them; but the
bulk of the profits 60 to tho financial
ring. The State has finally to pay the
last dollar, and "the ring" make from
twenty-five to forty per cent. on the
transaction. This will give them from
$150,O00 to $4,000, in the one little
matter of the pay certificates.
The same little gamo has been played,
we believe, at every session of the
General Assembly since 1868. We know
it was last winter. There were some in.
dignant speeches on the subject in the
House just before the final adjournment.
A committee had been appointed to wait
upon Parker and ascertain why lie didn't
cash the certificates. The reply was
that there was no money in the Treasury,
and proffer from the Treasurer to give
the members orders upon the Treasurers
of their respective Counties. This pro-
position it was declared amounted to
nothing. for the County Treasurers
could not lawfully pay out money on the
order of the State Treasurer, and would
not do it. Jones, of Georgetown. made
must vehement aud bitter speech
against the officials in the Treasury De-
partment, attributing to them the failure
to pay. Whipper took another view OF
the matter, and charged that it was
through tho venality of the Georgetown
member and others of his stripe that the
Treasury had been exhausted. Accord.
ing to this latter members theory, the
public funds had been exhausted in buy.
ing up members in order to secure cor.
rupt legislation.

SUMMERS CHARGE EsrABLIsHED.-Th
Senate committee to in nvestigate the sale
OF arms to the French has already elicit
ed enough, and from Government Of
ficers, to establish the main charge
alleged in the resolution of Senator
Sumner. II seems that General Dyer,
Chief of Ordnance. returning from the
West, after brief absence. found him
self besieged by would be purchasers for
delivered arms; that he sold 81, 2S1, 761
worth within fOrty-eight hours; that a
pnrt Of these arms were delivered, if not
sold, to the French agent after he had
been discovered as such; that the whole
question of construction Of interna-
tional law was left to subordinate of
the War Departm ent; and that the
Ordnauce bureau was so anxious to sell
our military stores that the reserve sup
plies of the country were reduced beyond
precedent. In view of the magnitude of
the transaction. roaching far beyond any
ordinary demand for commerce, General
Dyer must have known all along that the
purchasers were representing some 60.
vernnent, then at war, and not mere
private individuals. That such was the
fact, no sane man can doubt, and it is
the basest hypocrisy to deny it.

THAT DUEL.-At last accounts there
bad been no hostile meeting between
the two gentlemen from Charleston, who
were reported to have come to Georgia
for the purpose of fighting duel. The
two alleged principals, Mr.. ". l.. Tren-
holm and Maj. Ed. Willis, with their
respective friends, after returning from
Savannah, remained here from Monday
evening until yesterday afternoon. It
was said yesterday that an effort was
made on Tuesday night to settle the
difficulty, but without success. The diff
ficulty is reported to have originated
from remark alleged to havo been made
by Maj. Willis about Mr.. Trenholm.

The word has been passed along the
Administration lines. says the Washing
ton Patriot. that Congressional investi-
CATION must be summarily stopped. The
leaders prefer, as choice of alterna-
tives. to accept the consequences OF sup
preston rather than to incur the risk of
more damaging exposures. They know
the interior rottenness OF tho whole con-
oern, and il the probe should be once
deeply inserted, what mass of oorrup-
tion would be revealed. The effect pro-
duced by the developments ut New York,
brought to light in spite Of the obstacles
interposed by packed committee, has
alarmed the Presidents friends, and
precipitated the decision to shut down
the gates upon all further inquiry.

former honor, general evidence Indlcntes
that he was buried at Downpatrick. Ire.
land, in the province of Ulster, on the
coast of the Irish Sea. He was born
about the year 372, carried off by pi-
rates, and sold into slavery in Ireland,
aud employed for awhile as q swineherd
on the we'll known mountain Of Sleam-
ish, in the County Of Antrim. Here,
during O captivity Of seven years, he ao-
quired knowledge OF tho Irish lam
guage, educated himself, and became
thoroughly acquainted with the manners,
habits and customs of the people. Es-
Gaping TO the continent, lie was success
lively ordained dencon, priest and bishop,
and returned to Ireland and preached
the Gospel to its heathen inhabitants.
He was undoubtedly n man Of benevo-
lent disposition. as the popular legends
of his driving the venomous reptiles out
OF Ireland, founding churches. abbeys,
&c, and promoting strict habits OF tenn
perance among his people, would seem
to indicate; and it is said that tho foot
steps of st. Patrick can be traced, al.
most from his cradle to his grave. by the
names Of places named after him.
The shamrock, "the plant that blooms
forever" which is almost universally
worn in the hat on this day, hears three
leaves upon one stem, and was used by
st. Patrick as symbol of illustration
OF the Trinity when preaching to the
pagan Irish; and it is curious ooinci-
dence that the trefoil in Arabia is called
shan,rakh, and was held sacred in Iran
as emblematical OF the Persian Triads.
Pliny, in his Natural History, says that
serpents nre never seen upon trefoil,
and it prevails against the sting of snakes
and scorpions; and from this we may
infer that the Irish, in hearing of the
Trinity for the first time. fancied they
saw some peculiar fitness in their already
sacred plant to shadow forth the newly
revealed and mysterious doctrine.

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE. -
FROM actual experiment it has been found
that the dloppngs from tour Brahmas for
one night weighed in one case exactly one
pound, and IN another more than three
tourths of pouni, All average Of nearl,
four ounces each bird. BY drying, this
was reduced to not lite one and half
ounces. Other breeds make less. but, al
towing only one ounce per bird daily OF
dry dung, fifty fowls will make, in their
roosting-house alone, ten cwt. per annum
of The best manure in the world. Hence
half an acre Of poultry will make more
than enough manure for one acre Of land,
seven cwt. of guano being the usual guam
tity applied per acre, and poultry manure
being even richer than guano in ammonia
and fe.tilizng sails. No other stock will
give al equalretur in this wav, and these
figures demand caf.fll attention from the
large farmer. The manure, before using,
should be mixed with twice ts bulk o.
earth, and then allowed to stand in heap,
covered with q few inches OF earth till de-

vana road at an average charge for all
freights Of one cent and one-third per
ton per mile, while only 1880 tons were
CO RED on prominent Virginia railroad
forming the only outlet to the North, ut
at a charge Of eight cents per ton per
