Georgfa's seIf-Taught Linguist.

Madison MddiSORidH There is
ne gro in Morgan county, Lewis JOr-
dan, who Is thoroughly conversant
with the rudiments of the Latin
language, knows smattering of
French and is fast learning to read and
parse Greek. He is a capital scholar
in English grammar and is ready In
mathematics. He has acquired this
extraordinary amount of learning
without the assistance of a preceptOr
and seems charmed when under some
great mental task. He has not an in
telligent face, but rather the reverse
appearing at times silly in the ex-
treme. He is about thirty-five years
old and feels confident that he can
master several languages before hi-
death. He laughs at you when you
ask if he could not progress faster ii
placed under competent teacher. He
is humble, polite and strictly reliable.
There Is another negro, we forget his
name. who as been blind since early
bovhood, made - by drinking poke
root tea, who is the best and readiesi
mathematician we ever saw. lie
makes all of his calculations without
the use of pencil or slate. He can
multiply any numbers and give you
correct answer to any sum in interest
before the most expert arithmetician
can tell by means Of figures and pen
ell. He is also silly and seems little
abovcan idiot He is perfectly black,
about thirty years old and has made
since the war at his trade, making
wagon fixtures, gates and splitting
boards, about $1,000 in cash. He owns
several hundred acres of land, which
he rents. One popularity about him.
he buries all his money unless he can
get twelve per cent interest with
good security. He goes about in
wiuter and summer more naked than
clothed.

Joe Johmston's Defense of His Allan ia
Campaign.

In letter, dated Macon, Ga, Aug.
Is, 1864, to Colonel Lewis Washing
ton, General Joe Johnston saws:
The reasons assigned for my re-
moval are: Failing to arrest the adj
vance of the enemy to the vicinity of
Atlanta, far in the interior of Geor-
gia," and mot expressing cOfidence
that 1 could defeat or repel him.
After the battles of the Wilderness.
General Lee adopted precisely the
course which 1 followed, and gained
great glory by it. He fell back as far
as I had done, and much more rapid
ly-or rather less slowly. The enemy
also penetrated much more deeply
and extensively into Virginia than
into Georgia. I have never known
sensible men to regard confident Ian
guage as evidence of merit. a few
days before my removal, General
Bragg assured me that he had main
tanned in Richmond that Shernan's
army was stronger than Grants It
is very certain that General Lees
course has satisfied the Government
and country, and added to his great
glory.
Tle relative strength of Sherman's
army and mine made the chances of
victory. in case we attacked, in his
favor At Dalton he had a fortified
pass close IN his rear as a place of
refuge in case of mishap. In moving
South he advanced fortifying, and
therefore always had an intrenched
position close behind him. Victory
could not have been decided for us
under such circumstances, while de-

A Few more stitches yet, i row.

As comfort on my way.

Just little while-to see
Evenings creep on lovingly.
Silence-and a purple sky,
Overreacbing vale and hill
And silver stars, that seem TO lie
In the gold air, mute and still.
While the rich and radiant West,
As for festival is drest.
Amber studs upon her breast.
Now midst most softly red,
Putting out the purple light;
Uniting all my twirling thread,

With the beam thus sent to me,
Ere the dark fall heavily.
Look, my children! everywhere
Ger my work and heart spread
This bright cleaning from the air,
Blotting out my trembling dread.
From the light such joys / take
That We must not murmur make.
If, thus sitting, LIES thread break.

A Governor of South Carolina.

Franklin J. Moses, formerly COVER
nor of South Carolina, was arrested
in New York few days ago on the
charge of swindIing William L. Hail,
a retired hotel keeper. Hall was
swindled out of $500 in June last by
Pin White, a confidence man, who
was arrested. Two days later Moses
called on Hall, and introducing him
self as a lawyer named Hassons, as
the story goes, offered to give Hall in
formation how to recover the money.
He said that Whites wife boarded
with his mother and had in her
trunk diamonds and other property,
worth the amount taken from Hall
If Hall would give him $50 he would
procure a search warrant and get the
property belonging to Whites wife
Hall gave him $25 and Moses went
away, never TO return. White was
afterwards convicted and sent to pris-
on for five years. To-day Mrs. Hall
saw Moses and informed Police-In
spectOr Byrnes. Moses was arrested
this evening at the police headquar-
ters, who expressed a desire to settle
the matter by paying Hall S25, but
both Mr.. and Mrs. Hall said they
were determined to prosecute him.

him his cane, and told him whenever
