LNSURRECTION IN GEORGIA

An insufreetion occurred in johnson.
Washington and Jefferson counties. Geor
gia, on the 18th and 18th, with threatened
collision in Burke county.
L. originated in an inflammatOry circu.
lar issued by one Joseph Morris, colored
and circulated extensively among the col.
Ored people in the above named counties
calling convention of colored people to
organize military force under a colored
Major General, and the simultaneous or
ganization of secret societies, known as
1sMajor Generals Clubs" for the purpose
as is affirmed, ''of placing the district TN
der the control of the colored people, even
if it should require the death OF every
white man to do So"
Over one hundred arrests of ringleaders
was made, and Ex-Governor Herscilel V.
Johnson, who is Judge OF the Middle Dis
trict, has ordered special term of the Su-
perior Court for next Monday to try the
offenders.
Several prominent negroes connected
with these troubles have confessed. Jake
Mooremon, first lieutenant Of the negro
company, confessed on oath that nineteen
counties were to be embraced in the insur-
rection. Last Friday was appointed for
he uprising. All the white men and ugly
,,hlte women were to be killed, the pretty
white women were to be spared, and the
land ana spoils were to he divided among
the negroes. All who have so far con-
fessed testify substantially the same as
Jake Mooreman.
Governor Smith hurried to the scene.
and on his return to Augusta was seren-
AIDED and made a speech, in which he CON-
meEded the whites for their prudent ac-
zion, and said the mass of the colored peo-
pie knew nothing of the gravity and dan
ger of the plot into which they had been
led BY bad negroes, He has offered $500
reward for ssGeneral" Morris, the leader
in the insurrection.

STREET CARS IN PAEIs.-Paris is de.
lighted with it's new American tramways
which are well patronized by people of all
classes. The most successful of the new
lines is that running on the Boulevard
Malesherbes, its cars being well filed at
all hours Of the day. The cars used in
Paris are smaller than those used here
and painted in dark brown picked with
red. In one respect they possess an ad-
vantage over ours, and that is never being
over-crowded-onl as many persons be-

Tampering with the Ewes.

A Boston opthalmic surgeon, of high
reputation, In a recently published
work has given some hints concerning
eye affections, which, In the present
rage for quack remedies, cannot be too
widely known. He assures us that the
ar-sightedness Of old eyes, instead of
being due to the hattening of the corner
or front of the eye-ball, is the result of
the gradual hardening and consequent
loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens.
In relation to a favorite quack system
of treatment he says: at is mis-
chievous error to suppose that the form
of al elastic globe filed with fluid or
semi-fuid substances can be changed,
except for the moment, by pressing
upon it with the fingers, as has been
recommended bv charlatans. Also, the
theory that the eye can nave its form
favorably modified by rubbing it always
IN one direction, or by any other manip-
ulation, has no foundation in fact. But
while persistent squeezing according to
these methods can never do any good,
it involves great risks. 1t may lead to
congestion and hemorrhage within the
eyes, or give rise to destructive infam-
nation, or the formation of cataract
by dislocatirg the crystalline lens, or
cause almost immediate loss of sight by
athe separation of the retina, or nervous
distribution, from the neighboring
parts. 1t is to be hoped that warnings
like these win not be lightly passed
over.

A Paper-CanOe Voyage.

Mr.. N. 81. Bishops, who started from
Philadelphia several weeks ago for the
Gulf OF Mexico in paper-canoe, has
written a letter to q friend in that CITY,
announcing his arrival at Newbern, N.
G. He padded from Norfolk, through
the Cypress Swamp Canal, to Ceure-
tuck Sound, and thence to Pamlico
Sound, keeping alongshore of the mar
row strip of land which separates these
bodies of water from the Atlantic, and
running considerable risk in crossing
the stormy current which sets in
through Hatteras Inlet The voyager
was picked up in Pamlico Sound by a
yacht belonging to Judge West, of
Newborn, who, with a party of gentle
men, had been cruising for several DAYS
on the lookout for him, and who offered
HIM the hospitaities of their town.
Ar. Bishops, after leaving Newbern,
was to row down Bogue, Stump and
Masohboro Sounds in about ten days,
and reach Cape Fear river by interior
water, passages all the way except the
last seven miles. Rice planters on the
Waccamaco and Pedee rivers have
wanted him to visit their plantations.
Mr.. Bishops says that not aman whom
he meets will trust himself in his boat.
Every sailor, boatman, and oysterman
says a. ne would not cross creek in such
