CAvAGNARI'S DEATH.

A surging throng filled the room
where Cavagnari, jemadar and three
natives were. Cavagnari's revolver
spoke three times the death-knell of as
many Afghans, and then a blow from a
heavy Afghan knife laid him low. His
murderer did not long survive; with one
blow of his saber the jemadar swept off
his head. A few more such blows he
made, and then he lay beside his master.
But one escaped, the narrator of the.
tale to me; he hid in bath. The roof
was now blazing, a part had fallen on
the dead body of Cavagnari, so the
crowd did not wait to search, but drag
ging the bodies of the killed from the
burning house, they did not search for
any concealed persons, and so my in
formant escaped. He was a man who
was thoroughly conversant with the AT
CHAN tongue, and, being Mussulman,
he managed after his escape from the
house to pass himself off as Cabuli.
The bodies were treated with all the I'M
mentionable indignitieS which Asiatics
infiict on their enemies. From 8 a. IN.
till 2 p. IN. the attack on the residency
continued. Yakoob had plenty of other
troops besides those that attacked the
Residency, yet he made no attempt
even to send them to the rescue. Dad
Shah, the commander-in-chief found a
sufficient reason in the pelting of a
couple of stones at him not to interfere.
Yakoob's son, mere boy, visited the
scene of attack, but being politely told
not to interfere could not. conquer his
feelings of sympathy with the slayers of
the Kaffirs; he, too, did nothing. One
noble man there was, Mollah Ga Mus
selman priest), who sought YakoOb
during the attack and begged him to in
terfere. and reproached him with the
disgrace of killing friend and an am
bassador, but Yakoob said, 81 can do
nothing" 1t is stated that all was va
koobs design, and the seeming mutiny
of troops was but a skillful cloak for the
murderous act of his own origination.
1t is strange that, at the massacre Of
McNaghten, of the former mission, a
Mollah had similarly reprOached the
Ameer, and that his words were the
means of saving the lives OF George
Lawrence and others of the mission who
had been seized and were momentarily
expecting their death. No such good
fortune was in store for our unfortunate
cOuntrymen,

watchword, and we already hear
the New York Democracy blamed
because it did not yield to Kelly's
dictation and prescribe Robinson
for having discharged a Tammany
appointee; it onght to have been
done for HARMONY, it is said.
is it not evident that so long as all
State interests are to be postponed
to considerations of Federal party
politics, so long as vicious State
legislation is to be tolerated for fear
of imperilling the election of Con-
gressmen and Senators and Presi-
dents, our State Legislatures must
continue curse rather than a priv
ilege.
We avow ourselves a partisan of
State rights according to the strict
est school of jefferson and Calhoun,
barring secession and notification
but we maintain that the danger to
State rights is not to be found in the
present denuneiatiOns of them by
the stalwarts; that is only tempo
rary matter. The stalwarts are
sometimes for them and sometimes
against them, according to the
party exigencies of the day; and
moreover, the attack is open and is
rendered the less formidable by the
alarm it must excite; but the danger
which arises from the perpetual
subordination of State interests to
the party exigencies of Federal pol
itics is a permanent one and the
more perilous from being more
insidiOus. If it shall ever come
about that State Legislatures bring
ruin rather than prosperity to the
States which elect them-and we
are perilOusly near to such con-
summati9n-then goodbye to all
State privileges and immunities
we shall soon have a concentrated
: bureaucracy at Washington which
will manage all our affairs without

TheCoIIege Recenfion.

Having been prevented from at
tending the first of these reunions,
we were ignorant of the many
attractions which promise to make
the receptions at S. w. p. Univer-
sity the most popular of GAINESVILLE
entertainments. Friday, the 9TH
inst, was the evening appointed for
the second reception OF the series.
and, soon after the hour fixed for
assembling, we presented ourselves
at the great reception hall of the
new Stewart building, and were
received at the door by Prof. Din
widdie, who conducted us to seat
near by, where we found ourselves
in the presence of Chancellor Wad-
del and Mrs. Waddel. The graceful
cordiality which this excellent pair
know so well how to infuse into
their treatment of their guests,
soon made us feel entirely at home,
and after some conversation with
them and other friends among the
professors, we commenced our sur
vey. A considerable number, old
and young, of the pleasantest peo-
pie in GAINESVILLE were present, and
evidently in high state of enjoy
ment, some of them promenading
the hall and others seated. Among
the prcsnenaders were quite a num-
Der of 9 students, most of them
memt 8 of the University Grays,
rejoiciE in the acquisition of their
new uniform and in that acceptance
with the fair which usually goes
with brass buttons. OF course, be-
ing a University affair, the CONVEX
sation was scientific and literary,
though we hardly infer from the
expression observable on the young
counteuances that the structural
characteristics of Bathybius or the
affinities of hydracids would be
specimens of the subjects discussed.

The BOARD Of Trade.

The Board was wide awake on
Thursday night, the attendance be-
ing more than double what it has
been for many months, and the
discussions more earnest and more
directly bearing on business than
we have seen them for a long time.
The proceedings were voluminous,
and we go to press too soon after
the meeting to give detailed ac-
count of them. Suffice it to say
that the communications of Clarks-
vile with regions in which it is
commercially interested were the
great staple of discussion.
The river trade first came up
through the report of the Committee
on Wharfage, brought up by Mr..
Ingram.
On this head Capt. Gracey urged
that steamer worth about $1,000
or Sc, 900 should be built by men in
terested in the business of Clarks-
Vile, with the understanding that
their profits were to be derived, not
from the profits of the boat, but
from the increased business of the
city. To effect this, those inter
ested in the boat ought to expect to
run it without profit for at least two
years.
On the motion OF Mr.. Ingram,
Captains Gracey and Crusman,
Messrs. John Hurst, It. Herndon
and Kendrick were appointed a
committee for carrying out this
scheme.
Another subject was the road
communications, and especially the
construction of bridges over Sulphur
Fork at Port Royal and over an
ugly creek ON Lafayette road.
Bot the main topic of the night
was the railroad communications of
GAINESVILLE, the principal lines con-
templated being lines to connect
GAINESVILLE with Dickson Station in
one direction and Princeton in an
other.
This elected addresses from many
of the members, including Capt.
Gracey, Messrs. Ingram, Leonard,
Faxon, DIR. Wright, Capt. Crusman
and several Others. Mr.. LeOnard's
address was very effective and clio
tied loud applause "a very unusual
/ thing in the Board of Trade). JUS
tice cannot be done to this subject
in a report such as we can now
make. We hope in our next to de-
vote a systematic article to the sub
| iect of our railway communications,
in which we shall have to acknowl-
edge much aid from the valuable
information given us in these adj
dresses.
After a report from Capt. Crus-
man on the fund for aiding Mem
phis, in which he announced $3.50
as well as a large quantity of pro-
duce, as the contribution of this
county,
The Board adjourned to the see
ond Thursday in December, at
PM.
A Committee of Arrangements
was appointed to provideaccom
datiOns for the largely increased
attendance.

Being among old friends, we did
not Of course need many introduce
tons, but considered one which we
did receive a very high privilege
indeed ; it made US acquainted with
a venerable lady, the widow of a
Florida gentleman who had held
high ofliee, civil and military. In
former days she had seen the best
of society i'm both Washington and
the European capitals, and being
possessed of keen, appreeiative
intellect and retentive memory,
she was able to give interesting
"reminiscences of days when there
We're giants in the land, when she
associated on intimate terms with
Clay. Webster and Calhoun, and
knew Gortehakoif us a rising young
statesman. 1t was like reading the
memoirs of bygone generation,
only great deal better, as that
generation was represented by a
brilliant living survivor in the per-
son of our interlocutor.
One other widow condescended
to entertain us with her brilliant
conversation. Her name would be
recognized as that of one of the most
attractive OF her sex, but we are
forbidden to introduce it into these
columns; we will only say of it that,
though not her given name, it is
Given; which is an enigma which
Only the initiated can solve.
