A Mound Story from Florida.

The Palatka. Florida, Herald, Of January
%, gives the following statement concern
ing the opening Of an Indian mound, but it
must be considered as among those stories
which require confederation: 1--WE learn
that the Indian mound on Murphy's Island
was opened. or rather entered by party,
on Wednesday last. This mound is one OF
the largest on the river, and has excited
more than ordinary interest among our
scientific visitors. But Colonel Hart, pro-
prietor of the island upon which the mound
stands, heretofore persisted in his re-
fusal to have this relic of past ages
disturbed. On Wednesday, however,
q party from the Putnam, with others, took
steamer for the island. 1t was agreed to
open the mound at it's base. After making
breach of thirty-five feet they discovered
hard wall made Of coquins or shell rock.
This wall was cemented, and was ornament
ed with various figures Of warriors with
bows and arrows, and various reptiles.
After much difficulty breach Was made IN
the wall, and, by the light of torch, sew
eral of the party entered. Much surprised.
they found themselves within q vault eight
feet high, with room twelve by fifteen feet
long, with armed warriors encased IN
inches, all in state of petrifactiOn. This
is certainly wonderful discovery, and has
produced profound sensation. In view of
this important discovery Colonel Hart has
stationed guard to prevent parties making
way with these wonderful objects. Murphy g
leland will, no doubt, become the Mecca of
the St. James river"

revenue system, which is equivalent to
con6scation, and the ruin certain to fol-
low longer misrule. demand the atten-
ton of Democrats and the thought

complains that the Senate consumes
it's time Incorporating villages, and will not
aid the House in reform legislation. As no
Democrat caddress in Louisiana would be
considered complete without reference to
the tyranny Of the United States govern

bayonets, the Wheeler compromise and de
facto Governor. The committee claims, as
usual, to speak for 1.-The people" and the ad-

Il he Texas Pa ci11c.

The present outlook is that the Texas Pa.
ciic bill will 60 through Congress. 1t will
not be q party fight, but will be opposed
and defended by members irrespective of
party affiliations. The Southern members,
almost to Q unit, are in its favor, and it will
receive strong support as we'll from the
North. Among its opponents there are
come who will oppose the bill upon prin-
ciple-that principle being opposed to sub
sides in every shape and form-but even
while thus opposing it, they, it is said. still
admit the desirability of the building of the
road.
We have from q well informed CORES
pondent at Washington the statement that
there is compact between the delegations
from Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Tennessee to make the success OF
this measure condition of supporting any
man the North may name for President.
This compact has been entered into by q
majority of the Representatives from Mis-
souri,. Alabama and Georgia, and Virginia
and Kentucky have strong interest IN the
matter-including an overwhelming major
ity Of the Southern Representatives. IN Con-
gress. The Republicans from the States
named are nearly all in favor OF the bill. 1t
seems as if the question would turn on the
advisability of granting aid to private
enterprise of any kind, no matter how
mer;torious or of how much national i'm
Variance it may be. The fight promises to
he one of the liveliest episodes of the pres
ant aession, but the outlook seems to be
verv favorable to the biil.-PiNsburg Ga

General Beauregard Again.

NueucFBl 0eauTc&AfO A8ulua
General Beauregard has walked up. Like
old Leslie Coombs-whO used to inquire
pathetically, Glow is it that Kentucky land
is worth only - an acre, and Ohio farms,
right across the river, are worth $252"-
Beauregard is lnquring into the lethargv of
Louisiana and the progress of Texas. In q
letter dated February ] he entreats all the
world to come to the Immigra tion Ccnveu-
tion March |. He says: "Tue population of
Texas has more than doubled since the war.
In it's northeast portion, not far from the
Louisiana line, it has qaintuplsd. Lands
about MARSHALL and Dallas, which in 1861
were worth only 50 80 per acre, can not be
bought now for $a5 or $50 per acre, accord
land, nearly as good. and with climate as
fine, can be had from S. to $40 per
acre. Why does that great difference
exist" 1t is owing, he thinks, to
differences in official honesty and Yam
kee immigration. Louisiana still sleeps
in the lap of the negro, while the stalwart
German has taken hold of Texas and in
fused bis virile blood. He curses "those
grasshoppers of the South-carpet- -baggers,"
and in the same breath pleads for immigra-
ton. He is right in enticing immigration
would compel a moral, social and indus
trial revolution of the State, similar to that
which has fallen on Texas like q blessing.
In many ways Texas ia now the most vigor-
GUS and self-relient State in the South-the
fair. haired, strong. .boned Germans have
done it. They will save Louisiana if she
will let them. but it would be as when the
Saxons and Normans saved England. Let

Mrs, Victoria T.. Wo0dhull.

This somewhat famous woman, with her
mother and sister, now making Southern
lecture tour, arrived here yesterday, and
took rooms at the St. Charles Hotel. She will
soon speak in New Orleans, at q time and
place to be announced. As reported in ex-
changes, there is nothing Objectionable in
her discourse, and it is presumed che will
have fair hearing here. Miss Tennie C.
Claflin is the energetic business woman of
the firm, and in that capacity has visited
the newspaper offices to arrange for adver-
tising. Mrs. Woodruff is certainly bril-
liant speaker, and report says can talk
more than 300 words to the minute, beating
the best shorthand writer's. Miss Tennie is
not quite so rapid. although she never hesl-
tates for want of words. 1t is for the pub
lie to hear and judge of what the speaker
ehall say.

The Philharmonic Society.

The New Orleans Philharmonic Society
gave public rehearsal at Grunswald
Hall last night, with the most crafty
ing result of pleasing large audience COM
posed of the connoisseurs Of music. The
selections rendered we're principally from
Mendelsohn's oratorio of elijah and
the chorus, under the leadership of Pro-
fessor E. Groenevelt, of tho Germania
Quartette, were very effective. During the
evening solos were given by F. w. Bremen,
Mr.. c. C. Tracy and Miss Lena Little. Miss
Little has pliable voice of great sweet
ness, which serves her without apparent
effort. She sung, 30 Rest in the Lord"
and was honored with an enc ore call.
At the end Of the first part Of the pro.
gramme, Percy Roberts, Esq. was intro
duced as a speaker for the Philharmonic
Society, and made few felicitous remarks
in harmony with the purposes Of the organi-
zation. He spoke of the Germania quar-
tette as a combination of musicians made
here in 1869, first for the enjoyment and
cultivation, in a musical way, of its own
members. As they improved in the pro-
duction of harmony, the desire grew to ex-
tend their sphere, and to bring to their
countrymen here the best melodies Of Ger
many, that the wonderful songs Of the ia
nous song land might be transplanted on
this side of the water, and often heard in
their new home. How we'll the quartette
had succeeded the public knew. The
speaker paid a graceful compliment to
Professor Groenevelt for his untiring
zeal and devotion to the interests of music.
Mr.. Roberts also said that the Germania
Quartette lacked in other days but one
element to make it perfect. The Garden of
Eden was waste, and Adam helpless, until
woman came to bless creation. This was
dig in the ribs happily received by the
audience. Continuing, he said the Philhar-
monic Society, added to the Germania Quar-
tette, was complete as a musical Organiza-
ton, for we now had the sweet voices of
woman blended with the harmonious tones
of men, and might expect much future en-
joyment from the combination.
The Philharmonic Society promises much
for the culture and practice of vocal music.
1t is already thriving organization, en-
bracing in it's active mem bership the lead
ing singers of the best local choirs, with q
passive membership including large num-
ber of music-loving gentlemen who can pay
81 month easier than they can sing. The
singing members of the society have applied
themselves so industriously that they are in
q condition to give oratorio concerts, if so
disposed, aud those who heard the rehearsal
last night know how agreeably they can
entertain the public. There is material in
New Orleans for singing society equal to
any of the famous Handel and Haydn So
cieties of Northern cities, and the present
Philharmonic Society is the germ from
which will grow chorus of trained and
harmonized voices which our people will
listen to with satisfaction and pride.

WASHINGTON, February IA, 1876.
Morton will press Pinchback's case to

Edmunds, Christiancy and Morrill, of

with Logan and Burnside. Five Repub-

If the entire twenty-nine Democratic
votes, together with three Republican, are
cast against him, it will still leave three
majority. 1t will take the votes of Booth,
Paddock and Ingalls, to beat him.
Pinchback says that if the colored Re-

Bruce's course they should send their remon-
STRANGE to the latter, as he is not responsible
for his action.

False Ec0nomy.

Do not be economical. That is. if you
mean by economy the practice of denying
yourself all enjoyment and all refining in
fluence about your homes through wish
TO save money. There is no more sordid
disposition in the world. A bare, cheerless
house which has NO pictures. no music, no
books, and but very little of comfort in
carpets and other upholstery while there is
plenty of money in bank Q nd loaned out
among the neighbors, is . reflection on q
man as severe - if he was charged with
certain kinds of embezzlement Be econom-
ioal by saving your soul from wasting and
by laying up in store . geod foundation
