General Ransom.

Now that there is no doubt that General
Abbott. of North Carolina will be refused II
seat in the Senate a fight will be made against
General Ransom, who was elected this winter
bv the Legislature, and an attempt will he
made TO have the seat declared vacant. The
ground on which this action is based is that
the Democratic majority of the Legislature
Of North Carolina was elected by fraud and
that many of those who composed it were
under political disabilities, and therefore
pcrjurcd themselves when they took their
seats. The Republicans hope that If the seat
is declared vacant they can elect q Hcpuoll,
can Legislature in August next. General
Ransom is admitted by all to be the best
Democrat in the State, and he is not, rs has
been reported, graduate Of West Point,
and is not, therefore, either socially or pollti-
cally, friend Of the military rins.-As'o

Boar SwAMpED-FIvE MEN DROWNED
The wrecking tugs B. and j. Baker, and
Rcsolute, which arrived here from Body's
Island OH Sunday morning, brought the sad
intelligence Of the drowning of tive of the
crew of the Baker at Body's Island last We'd
ncsday.
We derive the following particulars Of the
sad affair from the Messrs. Baker: A boat
containing crew Of six men was sent ashore
from the Baker to land the messenger from
the schooner Willie, now ashore on the island.
The messenger was landed safely, and the
boat was pushed off and headed for the tug.
The wind blowing very hard and heavy
sea on, the boat soon became unmanageable.
1t is supposed she struck the boiler of q
sunken steamer, az she suddenly broached to
and filled with water. The crew were washed
off by the heavy sea and all but one persisted.
Owing to the heavy sea and strong gale the
Baker was unable to render assistance to the
boat. The whistle was blown and the colorS
hoisted as signal for help, and a small boat
put off from the shore and succeeded in saving
one Of the men, James Sawyer. Sawyer was
at first thought to be dead, but being carried
to the shore and rolled on barrel he was
resllscitatcd. The names of those drowned
are john Lewis, aged nineteen years, son of
Captain John Lewis, Of the Coast Wrecking
Company; L. A. Malone, Charles Z. MaXey
(all wllites), and Burwell Richardson and
Miles Wilson (negroes). The body of Miles
Wilson was washed ashore in the boat and
buried on the beach. None of the other bo-
dies have been recovered.-NorfolkJ Journal.

a Grand Scheme.

General Coburn and General Shanks, of
Indiana, brought forward, in speeches made
in the House on Saturday, new project for
connecting by ship canal the waters of the
great lakes with those Of the Mississippi river.
The route proposed by them was from the
south end of Lake Michigan southwark to
the Wabash river and thence by that stream
and the Ohio river to the Mississippi. Gen
cral Shanks stated that there would be only
e@hty-six miles of canal to dig. General
Col,lrn said that the canal could be made
almost upon dead level, and without lock-
age, the waters Of the lake being but two
feet above low-water mark in the Wabash
river at Lafayette. The cost would be less
than that of the proposed canal through the
State of Illinois, the natural obstacles to over
come being Insignificant by reason of the
fairness of the country.-Ne,o York Tribune.

Evil Spirits on the Rampage

Evil Spirits on the Rampage.
Marietta has been wondering at
the extraordinary manifestations of
an evil spirit that took possession of
A. ?. Surrcncy's house on the Bruins
wick Railroad. We have been ask
ed time and again If we believed the
report-if we believed in spirits,
ghosts aud hobgoblinsY Now, while
we would not say anything to offend
his ghostship, for fear he would take
possession of the JOURNAL OFFICE,
"pie" our type, scatter our papers,
and scare the "devil," we will say
that our faith in such things is not
sufficient to save us, if it was the
religion of the land. But still such
"spirits" have cut up many freaks
! in Marietta, and like the Surrency
ghost, human being is generally
the medium through which it acts.
A father and husband will go home
and Immediately on entering the
house, thee spirit begins to act,
mysterious occurrences are perform
ed, loud noises are heard, the cat is
kicked from one part Of the house
to another, the dog-irons are raped,
the croekery ware is broken, tables
and chairs are turned over, hot
brick>bats arc pitched at the servant
and hot words at the wife of the
household, and demoniac yell falls
upon the children's ears, Clear out,
dads come home drunk ~
Yes, indeed, there are haunted
homes, and haunted hearts, by az
evil spirit, more destructive of prop
erty, peace and happiness, than
that which inhabited the Surrcncy
house,

COTTON MANUFACTURING

Benz. ii. Micou, President Of the
Tallassee (Ala.) Manufacturing Com
pany, publishes an interesting letter
in the Montgomery Advertiser of the
9Th, giving results in regard to the
working of that factory, also its ca :
pacity. This company has two mills
running. $4,000 spindles and 200
looms, besides other machinery
After referring to the working ca
pacity of the mills, Mr.. Micou says:
But the principal object | have in
view in writing this letter latter
showing to our people by actual eX-
pertinent that we can here at the
cotton fields spin cotton as well and
as cheaply as it can be done any
where else in the world) is to show
the immense production Of wealth to
the cotton States attainable by the
introduction Of spinning machinery
at the numerous water powers ada
cent to the cotton fields of the South
and sending our cotton to foreign
markets spun into yarn instead OF IN
the raw state as now.
The facts and figures here pre-
sented show that one cotton mill for
spinning cotton with Z to 20 thou
sand spindles employing $50 to 800
operatives, drawn from a class who
are now non-producers, can produce
of direct wealth to the State 5000
bales cotton per annum. BY spin
ming up 5000 bales cotton and
doubling its value by the operation
a production of wealth to this extent
is entirely practicable on a capital
invested of FIVE hundred thousand
dollars.
Now to produce 5000 bales cot
ton from the soil requires the culti>
walton in corn and cotton of 10000
acres of land by 1000. Laborers
and 800 mules with large capt.
tai invested in waste lands, farming
utensils, gins and gin houses and
screws and houses for laborers, &c.
The proposition is SO plain that any
practical farmer can calculate that it
requires much more capital to pros
duce 5000 bales of raw cotton than
it does to spin 5000 bales raw
cotton into good yarn and double its
value by so doing. But the people
say we understand cotton planting
and we are an agricultural people
and not manufacturing people. |
do not advise our people to with
draw their capital from planting cot
ton, but only wish to show them the
entire practicability of doubling and
thrilling their wealth by eneourag-
ing the spinning at home Of the cot~
ton produced by them.

scarcely any traces of their exists

though they had never been. They
are, while they live, like some
pebble lying unobServed amo ng a
million on the shore and when
they die, they are like that same
pebble thrown into the sea, which
Just rufles the surface, sinks, and is
forgotten, without being missed

the poor, nor celebrated by the
learned. Who has been the better

death ? Whose tears have they
dried up? Whose wants supplied =?
Whose misery have they healed p
Who would unbar the gate Of life to
readmit them to existence! or what
