Florida FE5tu.

We lind the following IN Il Jackson
vile, Florida, paper Of a recent date:
More than twenty years ago MAJ or
Waldo i. Blossom, who is now i'll
Jacksonville, was Il resident OF Wash
ington. While there, chance cast in
his way a young man, named Larimer,
IL whom he became deeply interested.
Lariner had beeu led astray by the in
fuence OF wicked associations. and
was utterly dissolute and dissipated-
to all appearances, a moral and physi-
Cal wreck.
1t is more than probable that Major
Blossom discovered releeming quail
ties in the young man, nOtwithstand-
ing the depth to which dissipation had
brought him, for the Good Samaritan
rescued him from the gutter, gave him
a pleasant home, and assisted him by
counsel and the aid OF fine social in
fuences to make himself new man.
After his reformation was effected, the
young man returned to his parents,
who resided in Colorado, and for a
number of years his generous bene-
factor heard nothing OF him.
In December of last year Mr.. Bios
SONS attention was called to sn adver-
oiSSiAOAo LII {" A|oolO11 PNPS1s ofSI
signature of ''Larimer, inquiring the
address of ". A. Blossom. He re-
sponded to the inquiry, and soon re-
ceived letter from the parents of his
former protege, in CASTILLO county,
Colorado, informing him that their
son. in dying, had willed his property
to him, in gratitude for the kind deeds
Of years agone. The letter, which
feellngly alluded to this act, gave the
sequel of the reformed mans life. He
applied himself vigorously to business
after his return to Colorado, became
an honorable and useful member of
society, and in a few years amassed a
large fortune, all of which, valued at
81 900, 900, will fall into the possession
of Major Blossom next June.
No act of genuine charity is ever
lost. Somewhere in the conservatory
of good deed the plant will put forth
its blossoms and shed its perfume,
perhaps in the balm and brilIiancy of
the eternal morning, perhaps in the
subdued light and murky atmosphere
of the mortal life.

OF CONEESEEs ATE


We learn from the augusta NtI'Ol3i-
clc and .ScatiqC' that for the advance
,aent Of science, 10 rescue from Oh
livion ali the important medical and
surgical facts developed within the
armies Of tie Confederate States dur
ing the late war, it hes been deter
mined to call a convention of the Con-
federate surgeons, field and hospital
to meet in Atlanta, Georgia, on the Goth
of next May. The cooperation Of the
medical staff of the Confederate Navy
is asked.
We trust the Convention will be a
full one and that q permanent organi-
cation will be effected, rs the benefits
TO be derived from such an association
are SO great.
There WAS 10 class Of men more
faithful to their high trust CT more
earnest i'll the discharge Of their i'm
portant duties than the Surgeons OF
the Confederate armies. As iGdivid-
l.als and rs iaborers in the field Of
science and IN the cause OF humanity,
they may we'll be proud 70 pat their
deeds upon record.
/ Never before were men forced 10
rely on thcir own resources IS were
j the Confederate Surgeons in the treat
Inent Of our sick ana wounded. Almost
! without instruments or medicines, or
any of the many modern appliances Of
the healing art, our Surgeons were
called upon TO combat both wounds
and sickness. But to their honor, he
it spoken. they were equal 70 the &C.
I cas:en.
Satisfied from observation and from
experience Q! their faithful perform
ance Of dnty, and remembering CRATE
fHlly their kindness withal, we beg
leave 20 tender orr best wi3hc. for the

cEN,L ZOE JOENsTON's NAH
rra's'.gs,

We print elsewhere this morning an
extract from General Johnston's book,
in which he takes the ground that TIE
cause of the collapse Of The Confeder>'-
CIV was attributable to the failure OF
the Government to buy up ali the cot
ION in the South and ship it to Europe
before an effective blockade OF our
ports had been instituted by the Fed
eral Government, holding that there
was ample time III which to do this
during the first year OF the Conf'd-
eracy.
We print also two communications
from the Charleston Nc3rs and CO7GiCr
controverting the position taken by
General Johnston, one from the pen
of Mr.. NIemminger and the other, it is
said. from that OF Mr.. Trenholm
Each OF these gentlemen, it will be re-
1nembered, occupied the position OF
Secretary of the Treasury under the
Confederate Government.
From these papers II will be seen
that the question at issue, inst here, IS
one mainly of fact, General Johnston
contending that the blockade was not
effective for near twelve months after
the formation OF the Goyel nment,
and that within that year it was prac-
ticablo to have shipped all the cotton
III the country to Europe on Govern
meEt account. Mr. Memminger, on
the other hand, contends that the
blockade became effective within few
months after the formation of the Gov
ernment, and that it was not practi-
cable for the Government to have
collected the cotton and shipped it to
Europe. MI Trenholm contends there
was, i'll point of fact, but little cotton
in the South after February, 1861, the
bulk Of the crop having been shipped
prior 10 that date.
Messrs. Memmingcr and Trenholm
evidently have the best of General
Johnston upon the cotton question.

DEArs. OF HON. SAMUEL r.rassL

DEATH OF HON. SAMUEL I'.fasi.L
We regret to have to announce the
death of this distinguished son OF
North Carolina, which took place in
Yanceyville, Caswen county, on Thurs
day of last week. He was in the fifty
first year of his age and died of con
sumption.
A correspondent Of the Raleigh ,>cN-
tioel, writing from Yanceyville, says
He has been man of great popularity
in Caswell, and represented the county
in both branches of the General AS
sembly, and was once Speaker of the
House of Commons. He never mar
1ied. In the late trying scenes through
which his country has been called to
pass, his heart was in full sympathy
with him, and he sought neither hon
ors nor emoluments by cooperation
with the enemies and oppressors Of
his native land. He was not without
ambition yet he passed through
times, which greatly "tried the souls
of men, without crooking the supple
hinges of the knee, when thrift might
follow fawning." This methinks is
no small praise. He leaves many near
relatives among them, a devoted SIS
ter, whose proximity of residence, gave
her the opportunity of attending him
with most affectionate assiduity il lis
last painful illness. Peace to lis
ashes.

COOII-THE MAN AND BROTH Ek
as UEGISIATOES.

A few days before the adjournment
Of the South Carolina Legislature,
John Wallace, member of the House,
was waylaid and robbed of $500. On
the last day but one of the ses-
sion, the following proceedings were
had in that august body:
Mr.. Humbert introduced a resolu-
ton to issue certificate for $500. to
John Wallace, member of the House
who had been waylaid and robbed OF
that amount of money. Mr.. Keith OBJ
jected. Did not see how the House
could order such a certificate issued,
and if it was issued could not see if it
could be good for anything. He was
sorry for the unfortunate gentleman;
and if the gentlemen Of the House were
sorry they should put their hands Ill
their own pockets and help him, and
not put their hands in the State treas
ury to help. Several speeches OF the
same tenor were made, after which the
resolution was laid on the table.
And this is the way says the Flor
ence Pioneer, the thieves who have
been sitting in mock legislation for the
past five months in Columbia, have
been robhing the good people OF this
State. But we are glad to seq that
this attempt was voted down.

III 2srx. E{ito,r~ III your issue of
2Jih inst. is an article copied from
the Jackson, Miss. Clarion, comment
ing upon statements made by Senator
Ransom, in regard to the agricultural
interests and industrial system" of
OR State, reproduced and cndo:scd'
by the ,tOJENAL.
The statements alluded to. the writer
has never seen, bat infcrs from Tie
tenor OF this aI,:clc they were gloomy
and depressing in their character and
contrasting unfavorably, these afcre-
sad interests CT North Carolina with
those OF Mississippi andrrobably other
States.
Would it not be fur the best, that
writer's upon the subject, should quail
fy their remarks by giving credit for
this unfortunate state OF affairs, to the
particular locality or section OF the
State, with whose workings i'll this
respect, they are familiar. Otherwise
unintentional injustice may sometimes
be done to other sections aud possibly
to the State at large. 1t is highly
probable, that there are even in Mis-
sissippi, prominent individuals the re
suit OF whose experience and observa-
-
able representations expressed by the
Clarion.
While tho statements OF Senator
Ransom doubtless apply with force
and propriety, to his section of the
State, they Will not do justice to this
the Pee Dee region, III whose interest
| write this.
In the basis OF orr industrial sys-
tenn" the negro largely prodominates.
This labor OF course IN individual eff
cheney aud value, comes far short of
the bIgh standard TO which i'll years
gone by,wc were accustomed and even
i'll its best aspect as free labor, it is
nothing to brag of. Still it is by no
means positively 1iscouraglng. 1t is il
anything rather improving than retro
grading, and is really more fixed and
reliable, than we thought eight years
ago it ever would be.
In this section, especially this coun-
ty, there IS life, activity and marked
degree Of progress III agricultural af-
fairs as compared with five years ago.
The financial depression caused by tbe
low price Of cotton, is certainly felt
and the people are sufferers from it,
though they were blessed in most sec
tions with abundant crops. But they
are not stagnated, nor abandoning
their farms but are working with en-
ergy and with Il hopeful spirit, increas-
ing III many instances the extent of
their operations, especially in the corn
and oats line.
The same old oft repeated story Of
the suicidal course pursued by the cot
ton planters lies at the bottom of much
Of orr trouble, too much crcdH, too
march bryi1lg and too little setting.
Our class is, however, slow to be pra"
ticaily convinced in this respect, -
cept by necessity, and not then if they
can help it.
The large crop Of cotton raised in
this section last year and the year pre-
vious, furnish indusputible testimony
that great deal of work was done by
somebody, in fact, too much cotton
work for our good. Tt is bnt Justice to
say, that here, among the negroes,
those who are comparatively good Ia
borers predominant. 1t is the part of
wisdom and justice to give credit
wherever it can be done. W. X. nj.

The JAY Cooke failure seems TO be
one IF those cases that em5Ody a sue
cession of surprises. each one of which
puts 1t worse face on the state of affairs.
The bankrupts have now filed an
amendment to their original schedule,
which reduces the amount of their as
sets to be distributed among their
creditors in the item of Northern Pa
citic bonds about one million and half
dollars. in e value. This error in their
former schedules las been apparently
brought 10 light through q counter
claim made by the Northern Pacific
Company, in which it is alleged that
JAY Cooke & Co. had assumed to hold
as collateral Tor moneys advanced to
the railroad company, several millions
of unissued bonds. The bankrupts
stated IN their original schedule that
they had claims against the railroad
company for advances made at various
times, aggregating 81 ,O26, Cos, and that
they held collaterals for these advances
to the amount of Sc, l65, 900. They are
now advised 10y counsel, that by GER
tain agreement, made in MAY, 1873,
they actually settled for these advances
10y taking bonds OF the company at SO
per cent and interest, making the
amount of bonds thus taken. and now
held in full satisfaction of the claims
against the company, equal to 81, 767.-
500. Thus it will be seen that the
firm, instead of being creditors to the
company to the amount of aboutssfour
million dollars, secured by collateral
bonds of fair value of over six mil
lions, are shown to be. by this amend
ment, not creditors, but owners of
bonds for little over four and half
millions. This purchase aries ont of
an agreement by which Jay Cooke &
Co. were constituted. the fiscal agents
of the company to sell thirty millions
worth at SO per cent. for which they
were to be allowed 40 per cent. in full
paid stock of the company as commits
sions.

The fatality which attends the fam
lies of great men has often been
noticed. In many cases they have had
no descendants at all, while in others
the line has become extinct in the
second or third generation. Already
there are indications that the name of
Bulwer Lytton may be of short dura-
ton. His only surviving grandson,
the son of sOwen Meredith" recently
died at Paris before completing his
second year,
