Rinuati, Ohio:
sIE-While on my way to this place, this
morning, nay attention was called to 4 scan
delous and scurriiOus communication in
your paper of the fourteenth instant your
special correspondent, at Columbus, Ohio,
charging, that after the battle of "Stone
river" / had taken from Union soldier,
captured in that battle, his personal props
erty, found on his person. When 1 state, to
yGu ! was not in the battle of Stone river,
but hundreds OF miles away, and had no
troops there, | suppose it will give you pleas
ure to make an unconditional retraxit, of
the slanderous communication of your cor
respondent and apologize for it's insertion in
your columns, and give as wide circula-
ton. as you have to this SANDER, by pub
fishing this demand, and your reply, in your
paper.
Awaiting your answer which you will
please forward to Columbus, Ohio, care Of
John G. Thompson, 1 am,
Your Obedient servant,
CHAS. E. HOOKER.
MR.. HALsTEAD's REPLY
CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL,
Cincinnati, o., Sept. =, 1880
Gen Charles E. Hooker;
S4R-When the Stone River story appear
ed, called to il, by telegraph, the attention
of correspondent at Columbus, politically
friendly to YOURSELF and the following was
published:
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
COLUMBUS, o., Sept IA called at the
headquarters of the Democrats and made in
curry as to Hooker's whereabouts. He speaks
at Tifin tonight. l asked Col Thompson to
telegraph Hooker as follows: Were you at
SEsae river2 What regiment were you with 2"
To this Hooker answered as follows; Was
not at the battle sf Stone river; was in artil-
lery regiment during the whole war until dis
abled. Charles Z. Hooker"
Editorially credited this, and discredi
ted the other, stating as the fact that you
were not at Stone river. This was unreserv-
ed and conspicuous as possible, and seemed
to make an end of the fiction, which you do
net characterize too strongly, and | would
have said more, but thought it unworthy
further notice As yo4, perhaps, have had
the whole case before you, and desiring to
know your views, exactly, before publishing
this or anything else, await afurtheF COM
munication from you.
Respectfully,
n HALSTEAD.

spiritual music sometimes heard abou

Such is the explanation offered by the
genius of romantic superstition. Mr..
Gayarre, in his recent work ON THE
Romantic and Picturesque in the his
tory of Louisiana" gives a less popular
and more unusual version of this lie
gend.)
THE Mississippi COAST
has been inhabited for nearly two hun.
bred wears, and was an carly field OF
wild adventure and struggling civilian
ton when the rest of the State was a
profound solitude, untenanted save by
| the several Indian tribes that were sub
sequently driven into other regions.
The people are chiefly French, and still
speak the French language. Some of
them can speak no other. Some are
Spanish by descent, but the Spanish
language has disappeared. The Cath
Ollie religion prevails, and there are many
neat Catholic churches along the sound
But while this is true regarding the
character of the population, large
number of the citizens are Americans"
and this element is being constantly en-
larged by steady influx of enterpris-
ing immigrants from long distance.
Not few Northern gentlemen of ener-
gy and means have recently cast their
lot here.
But more people are needed and
desired. A traveller from the North
recently remarked to citizen of this
coast: you people are too satisfied
here. You must make change before
you can effect any progress I" The truth
is, under such benefcent conditions of
surrounding nature, it is hard to be
discontinued and progressive. Perhaps
this very stranger, after a brief soiourn
in this region, would yield To the
gracious airs and odorous wooings of the
South, and become himself unprogress-
i've and-satisfed But the fact is pat
ent enough that the accession of North !
ern enterprise and means is welding |
and Transforming influence |
upon the industries and the prospects of |
the Mississippi sea-shore. The varied |
pursuits followed offer safe and profta-
bic investment to capital. There are
likewise, for the man with
,ut means; for while the chances for
'wift accumulation from the returns of
abor may not be as great as in some
,ther sections, still it would be hard to
ind a place where a subsistence may be
armed with so little effort.

Plaintiff in error was in the Circuit Court
Of Holmes county convicted Of the murder
of Abner T. Reeves, and sentenced TO the
pruiJrutiarv for life. The conviction rests
upon circumsttntial testimony, and the

What Gen. Hancock says about Gen.
Grants Reported Remarks concerning
Him.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The Telegram, this
evening, contains the report of an interview
by one of its correspondents with Gen. Han
cock, with regard to the statements recently
made by Gen. Grant. Gen. Hancock said
Il find it hard to believe that ex-President
Grant has said such hard things about me.
Then you think he never said you were
vain, ambitious and weak, and that you
have been crazy TO be President for the last
six years -
81 have no positive evidence that he has
so expressed himself. But Rev. DR.. c. II.
Fowler says the eN>President did make use
of such expression, and the Chicago Inter
Ocean has published an interview with the
ex-President, in which the principal state
ments of Rev. DIR. Fowler are confirmed"
II mean just his: Thus tar my knowledge
of what Gen. Grant has actually said is con-
fined to what may be called hearsay evil
dence. / haYe read what has been attribu
ted TO him as his utterances in the newspa-
pers. Now, shall take pains to ascertain
from an authoritative source Just what Gen.
Grant has said about me"
"Wlll you apply to him personally for
the information p
THAT would be the best course to pursue,
| suppose. ! mean to get at the truth"
IF you find that the ex-President has
really made assertions derogatory to your
character, will you make reply ?"
Eyes, if necessary"
Then am to understand that if Gen
Grant has assailed your character, as he is
reported to have done, you will make gen.
eral denial -
Il will certainly deny everything that is
untrue. After l have sifted the matter to
the bottom, and have decided to reply, /
will prepare a careful and comprehensive
statement for publication"
How much time will be required for yol
to hear personally from Gen. Grant in this
matter -
81 cannot say, but l shall lose no more
time than can help in getting at the bot
tom of the matter"
What reason have you for doubling that
Gen. Grant has attacked your character
In the first place he lacked good grounds
upon which to attack me, and in the second
place ne is an old soldier and a graduate of
West Point, and as such he could not, it
seems to me, so far overstep the bounds of
truth and gentlemanly propriety as to at
tempt to injure me, even in private con-
versation."
will your formal reply to Gen Grant. if
you find it necessary to make one, be in the
shape of a letter 90
II CANT say at present. That is matter
for after consideration
What Is Gen. Grants feelings toward you
personally 90
Il have always supposed that he was
man who would never allow any ill-will to
influence him against me, and shall not
change nv opinion, unless / am obliged to
do 50 by indisputa0ie evidence

FOR PRESERVING TIMBER.

This consists simply in injecting creo-
sote into the pine logs before using
them. There are extensive works on
the right bank of the Pascagoula river,
near its mouth, where this process has
been carried on for years. The logs
are first put in huge cylindrical iron
vessel, large enough to hold FIVE or six
at once. Then the sap is expressed
from the logs by enormous pressure.
AftdFWard creosote is forced by pressure
into the interstices made vacant by the
expulsion of the sap, and then the
timber is ready for use. It is estimated
that timber prepared in this way viii

Farming in Boston.


 Everywhere upon the cost of eastern New England may be found, ten feet be- low the water mark, the lichen known as caraaeen--the Irish moss" of com mcrce. It may be torn from the sunken rocks anywhere, and yet the little sea port of Scituate is almost the only place iii the country where it is gathered and cured This village is the great centre of the moss business in the country, and the entire Union drags it's supplies from these beaches. Long rakes are used in tilling th.s marine iarIn, and it does not take long to fill the many dories that await the lichen, torn rom it's rocky salt bed. The husbands and fathers gather the moss from ire sel, and the wivcs and daughters prepare it for the market. Soak it in water and It will melt away to jelly. Boil it in milk and a delicl- ous white and creamy blanc mange is the result. The annual product is from 10000 to 15,000 barrels, and It brings $50,000 into the town, which sum IS shared by 150 families. It's consumption in the manufacture of lager beer is very large, and the entire beer of the country draws it's supplies from Scituate beaches as the importation from Ireland has al- most ceased. It ts not generally known that the moss is an article of food, is called "sea moss farina."
