| Rte's Riches - Nemesis After Him In
| California.
san.Francisco Examiner.
When the confederate army, under
Gen. Lee, was forced back from the
trenches at Petersburg by the federal
army, President Davis hurriedly or.
dered about fifteen million dollars, the
property of the banks of Virginia and of
the confederate states, to be placed on
trains at Richmond and sent south, in.
tending to convey it to the trans Missis.
sippi department., if possible, there to
make final stand. The treasure was
carried down to Charlotte, North Caro-
lima, where the railroad ended. At this
place it was decided to leave the money
belonging to the Bank of Virginia in
keeping of their officers. The, rest of
the money belonging to the confederate
states wac placed in wagons and the re-
treat continued. The brigades of Cen
erals Basil, Duke and Vaughan,
who had succeeded in escaping
from East Tennessee and had arrived
o. Charlotte few days before, were
placed, under the orders of Gen. John
G. Breckinridge, to act as an escort to
the treasure and the command pro.
ceeded south until Greensboro, Wash
ington county, Georgia, was reached.
At this point information was received
that the federal general, Wilson, had
captured Macon, few miles distant,
end in the line of retreat to the trans
Mississippi department. The news soon
got among the men. They became do.
moralizcd, and rush was made for the
wagons containing the treasure. 1t was
speedily divided among them, the Off
GERS being unable to restrain the men.
Among the lucky ones were two soldiers
belonging to company b, third Tennes-

brigade from Monroe county, Tennes.
see. One of them was named Albert
Stephens, and the other we will call j.
L. Jones. They had charge of q wagon
containing one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars in gold; and when the panic
spread among the soldiers and the cry
was "sauve qui peut," they retained
their presence of mind and drove off
in the woods, where they divided the
money, making some seventy.tive thou
sand dollars apiece and departed,
Stevens taking to his home in Tennes-
see, where he buried it, confiding its
hiding p!acs to his mother, a very old
lady. Finding that it would be dan
gerous for him to remain in Tennessee,
owing to the unsettled condition OF
things there, the people being equally
divided on the question OF the war, he
went to Georgia, where he found Jones,
who had bought small place and was
quietly waiting until it would be safe
for him to return home. Stevens stayed
awhile with Jones and then went OIL to
another part OF Georgia to visit some
relatives before gong, however, ne
informed Jones about the hiding OF his
money and his mothers knowleage OF
Its whereabouts. AS soon as stevens

Friction impedes the progress OF
the railway train, and yet it is only
through friction that it makes any pro-
gress. This apparent paradox is ex-
blamed when we remember that by the
reason of the friotional "bite" Of the
drivers upon the track they draw the
train, The bearings OF the wheels up
on the rails are a mere line where they
come in contact, iron and iron, yet this
slight and almost imperceptible hold
is sufficient to move hundreds OF tons
Of dead weight with the speed OF the
wind.

New York, June 4-Vice President Wilson

said: have never been opposed to the third
term on account of the present executive, but
look at it merely as general question and on
general pri nciples.
Q.-Do you think the Presidents letter was
as frank as the occasion reqHired or the people
desired?
Al should have preferred with hesitancy)
to have seen it expressed in different language,
as he had not spoken before on the subject he
has expressed himself very fully.
Q-What do you think of the statement that
he no more wanted third term than he
wanted the first?
A-Wel,I 1 think that was merely an ex-

saw and all heard, Gen. Grant behaved with
great prudence and prOpriety in his
acceptance of third term. | do not
think he took mnch action in reference
to the campaign of i72 He felt that he had
incurred great deal OF opposition and as there ere

that he wanted the approval OF the country in

/ don't think Gen. Grant intended anything
by this letter, more than to give people to un-
derstand he was not candidate for the third
term, and L believe his statements are rather
explanatory of his position. l think that if he
had spoken sooner this explanation might not
have been necessary. L think he felt on ac-
count of this some necessity to explain his
views very plainly. l accept his letter as an
honest declaration that he IS not seeking
third term, and think that the men who are
advocating it are doing great injury to the Re
publican party, and l think they make sad
