LTTTLE CITIZEN, OF TENNESSEE

DIE, O. Tiekner, Of Columbus, Ga, the au-

Smittsn of gTRDe-shOt and gangrene;
Eighteenth battle, aud BE sixteen
SPECTRE such as YOU seldom see
Little Giffen, of Tennessee!
ssTake him and welcome - the surgeons said
Little the Doctor can help the Dead
Sc, we took himi-snd brought him where
The balm was sweet in the summer air;
And we laid him dUWn on a wholesome bed
Utter Lazarus, heel to head!
And we watched the war with abated breath
Skeleton Boy against Skeleton DEATH!
Months of torture, how many such!
Weary weeks of the stick and erutch;
And still CLINT Of the steel blue eye
Told Of a spirit that lrolEldH't die!
And didn't-nay, morel-iR deaths despite
The crippled skeleton f'learned 70 writel'
DEAR MOTHER: at first, Of course; and then,
DEAR CAPTAIN: enquiring about the men.
Captains answer. of eighty and iye,
Gifen and are let aliyel
Werd of gloom from the WAR one day
johnson pressed at the front they say;
Little Gifen was up and away
A tear-his irst-as he babe goodbye,
Dimmed the gliLt Of his steel-blue eye;
"Fn WRITE, il sparedi"-there was news OF
But none Of Giffen-He did not writei
I sometime fancy that-were King
OF the prineely Knights Of the golden ring
With the song Of the minstrel in my ear,
And the tender legend that trembles here
I'd give the best on his Bonded knee,
The whitsst soul Ofmy chivalry,

Business remains extremely dull, and
there is no change to mention. The banks
nominally loan at ten per cent. per annum,
but they are doing but little in discount

Exchange on New York is dull. The
banks buy at discount and sell at 81 per
thousand premium.
Gold continues firm, closing in New
York at 111I. Dealers here pay 10, while
they hold at 111i. Silver is taken at 1OS

Tennessee bonds are slightly lower, being

There is nothing doing in these bonds in

GOLD EXCITEMENT IN NORTH
GEORGIA
AtlAnta ConstItution.

A citizen OF Atlanta direct from Chatta-
nOoga, Tenn, has been placed in possession
of the following facts: Rumors had been
afOat for several days concerning a new
gold mine of immense richness, where
many Jumps in a pure state had been
picked up ON the surface, varying in value,
from so to 40 pennyweights, when small
number Of persons repaired to the spot.
They sunk an ordinary shaft known
among miners. and after cutting through
bed Of slate, struck what has proven to be
one of the richest veins ever discO7ered on
the continent 1t is in North Georgia, and
within an hours ride of Chattanooga. Two
or three days work with a few hands
yielded 10 pounds of pure gold.
This is no canard. We give it upon the
authority Of gentleman present, Mr..
Marks, of the firm of Webster 81 Marks, of
Chattanooga, Tenn, who vOuehes for the
truth of the above statements.

MAYOR FOR A MONTH.
A Heavy Railroad JOb-COmmOdOre
Vanderbilt Pockets S3,5OO,O 900 at

A Heavy Railroad JOb-COmmOdOre
Vanderbilt Pockets sS,5OO,OOO at
One Sweep.
New York Correspondence Of the Cincinnati
Commercial.
But by far the most important action Of
our "Mayor for Month" has been in re-
gard TO the great Vanderbilt subsidy.
Commodore Vanderbilt created a danger
Gus nuisance by laying a track through the
upper part Of the city for his railroads, in
defiance of municipal law. SO many peO-
pie were killed by the trains, and the pas
sage of vehicles was so greatly impeded,
that he was required, three years
ago, to sink his track below the
surface. Is the guossest bribery,
a fraudulent and unconstitutional bill
was lobbied through the Legislature, trequir-
tng the city to pay half the expense Of this
work Of Vanderbilt, which half was put at
S3,500,O00. So outrageous was this job,
that Mayor HavemeyeF, all through his
term of office, steadfastly refused to give
the order upon the Comptroller for the pay
ment Of the money out Of the treasury to
Vanderbilt. At the time Of the honest old
Mayors death, three weeks ago, be was re-
s:sting Vanderbilt's demand IN the Courts,
a WAY Lildl LntIO was AEeAoDl ~
lieYe that the rights Of the city would be
maintained, and its people saved from the
plundering hands OF the great railroad cor
morant, who had already, by various means,
got millions out of il for bis other schemes.
Thus things stood when the Republican
Vance suddenly became Mayor, and formed
a political alliance with his Democratic
successor. He had hardly attained power
,l,1s.l hr,orrrkf
fore him, and Vanderbilt, finding the hon
est guardian of the city out of his way,
pressed his demands. ThereupOn, on the
18th instant, incredible as such thing
may seem, Vance unexpectedly issued his
order to the Comptroller for the payment
ofthe S3,5OO.OOO claimed by Vanderbilt. 1t
was an extraordinary act, done hastily, I'M
der desperate circumstances; and those who
know Vanderbilt's chronic method of
gaining his end, will not doubt that he
resorted to it on this occasion. 1t is strange
that the newspapers have said so little
about the matter; but those who know the
influence of great moneyed corporations in
this city will not be surprised at it. MIR.
Simon Sterne, an able lawyer and munic-
pal reformer, has published powerful pro-
lest against Vance's action, giving history
Of the subsidy and showing its fraudulent
nature. The question, he says, is whether
Vanderbilt, owning the whole work, and
getting an the profits Of it, shall nevershe-
less receive half Of the cost thereof from
the city. This railroad corporation, he
adds, obtains without compensation val
liable franchise worth millions of dollars,
and builds up, out of the City Treasury,
gigantic business in the profits of which
the city has no share. Thus, says he, N
closing, almost the last beneficial result OF
the reform movement Of 1871 has slipped
awaE. What else Vance may do, in this
his last week of power, remains to beseen.
