Bushels OF Confederate None

4 Griffin tGA-) correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution writes as follows
concerning Mr.. J. w. Corbin, citizen
Of Griffin: Some years ago be took
peculiar notion that Confederate money
and bonds would some day be worth
something; so he went to work and
bought them up in large quantities, pay
ing cash for a consi lerable amount and
bartering meal from his mill for the bal
ance. lie gave bushel Of meal for a
thousand dollars, and many wagon
load of that food has been hauled away
from his door. Many people, Of course,
regarded the notion as rather cranky.
but to those Mr.. Corbin gave no heed,
going right along and buying every dol
lar he could rake and scrape. There is
really no telling how much Confederate
money he has. Those who know, or
seem to know, say he has between seven
and eight millions, beside several hun
dred thousand dollars in bonds. When
asked at bank how much his bonds
were worth he replied: "well, have
Sl25, 600 in one box, and that isn't all,
10y lot" And so he has gone right on
this way for years. He has had letters
from all over the country, and he has
bought the stuff right aud left, from far
and near. As already stated, no one
knows just how far exactly his freak has
extended. and he may have $50, ,O0O, 900
for all know. Mr.. Corbin is consid-
erably stirred mp by the recent demand
in London, and seems satisfied be is on
the right track to an immense fortune.
He is not considered at all shaky in the
upper story by bis friends. though they
cannot, ofconrse. understand his strange
fascination about Confederate money.
He has alsays been considered a solid
citizen, and is in good circumstances
now. but will be the wealthiest maa in
the South, II his dream is ever realised.

The news from the President this
morning is decidedly more encourag
ing His stomach is in better con-
dltion- He has taken small quanti-
ties of liquid nourishment in the
regular way and retains it without
nausea. His temperature and resn;
ration are about normal. and bic
pulse has improved. He had been
sleeping two hours when our dis-
patches closed, without having taken
morphia. Two hours uninterrupted d
sleep is great deal to man in his
conditi N, and We expect to lear to-
day that he is gaining strength.
There is no question but that his
wound is healing admirably. Now,
if the tone of the stomach can be
restored, we may expect rapid im~
provement and early convalescence.
But we cannot lose sight of the fact
that he is greatly debilitated. His
vital forces have been almost ex-
hausted. A very slight relapse
would probably be disastrous. But
we hope that the time has come for
a rally of strength, and that we will
oe able in our next issue to give our
readers more gratifying intelligence
.ean that communicated in the last
Tour or Eve days.

IT is very probable that the Presi-
dents physicians have made some
mistakes in the management of his
case. It would be remarkable if
they had not. From the very OUT
set his case was regarded as exceed
ingly doubtful. The chances were
all regarded as against his recovery.
In view of these things, it does
seem to us that the Incorporate
criticism, Or rather wholesale con-
demnation of the physicians, bur-
dened as they are with a terrible res
sponsibility, is cruel, and unless
there were more facts to warrant it,
wholly uniustifable.

Panic on g. Steamboat.

New YORK, August 1.-THE steamer
Plymouth Rock, on her morning trip
to Long Branch, with some 1000 or
HOO passengers, at 11.30 o'clock,
when about 20 miles from Iron Pier,
burst steam fiue, knocking open
the doors of the engine room, from
which an immense volums of steam
rapidly escaped. A scene of terri~
BILE confusion and terror ensued,
the passengers being madly panic
stricken. In the struggle for life
preservers, men were seen to seize
them even from women. For about
half an hour there was scene Of
dire confusion. In the upper deck
cabin struggling mass was wedged,
and being blocked up, to facilitate
escape, the windows were broken
out by the officers of the boat, and
the passengers passed through, head
first. As soon as the panic had
somewhat subsidized, the band struck
up, and this helped to reasure the
passengers and restore order.
The tug Germaine, about half
an hour after the accident, went
to the assistance of the Plymouth
Rock and took her into land. Before
she started, however, the steamers
Schinler and City of Richmond also
came up, the latter boat and Ger
mania towed the disabled steamboat
some distance up the bay to the
smooth water, where her passengers
were transferred to the City of
Richmond and were brought to this
city. The Plymouth Rock was towed
to her dock by the Germania. In the
panic there were numbers of women
and children knocked down and
trampled on, but to what extent
they were injured has not been as
certained.

The guard who went into Gui-
teaus cell yesterday, ostensibly to
prevent the rascal from hanging him
self, has probably been reading the
Cincinnati Commercial. The success
OF the Cook fund may have led him
to believe that it would be a good
investment to cut Guiteau's throat
or to put ball in his brain. The
pretext for going into the cell was
doubtless feigned one. But he
aimed wildly and Guiteau still lives.
There are plenty of people who will
regret that the bullet missed its
mark, and who, if it had been success
full, would have most willingly cons
tributed more than one cent to the
guard, who rid the world of scoun-
drel who is so hateful in the eyes Of
the American people.
