WE expect every day now to see the AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches chronicling the
yicissitudes and misfortunes of the blind
followers of Oklahoma Payne. They are
tresspassing again on the forbidden
ground in the Indian Territory, and
this, it has been thoroughly demon
strated in past efforts, they cannot do with
out coming in contact with the toe of the
boot worn by Uncle SAM Then, after the
official kick has been administered, much
complaint and loud lamentation will be in
dulged in by the misguided dupes, and the
charitably disposed will be called on to
contribute and aid the sufferers to make a
living through the winter. All this time
Payne will be jingling the shekels paid
him in advance by the .shivering Settlers"
and contributing his sympathies, at
long range from The comlorta-
BILE rotunda Of some big hotel. We
regard this Payne policy as an outrage on
ignorant misguided and duped humanity
and the leader OF these periodical move
ments should be sat down on by the Gov
eminent with much emphasis and severe
determination.

SECRETARY LINCOLN, in his report of mat
ers connected with the War Department,
which he will submit to the President and
have forwarded with the latter's message to
Congress on Monday, endorses General
Sherman position in advocacy ofincreasing
the army to sixty thousand enlisted men, ar d
will recommend such increase. The pres
ent force of twenty five thousand men may
not be sufficient to garrison all the forts in
the country and lend an atmosphere Of roy
atty to the national capital by the presence
of large bodies of troops with the attendant
pomp and splendors, and furnish sufii-
GENTLY LARGE command to please the pres
ent superauity of officers holding high COM
missions. but if employed in the legitimate
duty of fighting Indians and properly pol
icing our extensive and exposed frontier, it
is very probable that the rosters are almost
as large as is desirable. If anything is
to be done on the score of placing
the fighting and respect-inspiring elements
of the country on u better and more en-
larged basis, little life might better be
breathed into our alleged navy. We ought
certainly to outrank the seni-civilized pow
ers of the equatorial regions on the seas.

The popularity OF that excellent assccia
ton. the Youths Historical Society, and
their pleasing fortnightlY entertainments,
was forci5ly demonstrated last evening by
the immense audience which filed their hall.
Standing room was at a premium, and there
were many who were unable TO obtain ad-
mittance.
The entertainment opened with a piano
solo By Mr.. Max Buck, "Way down upon the
suwannee River" OF his own arrangement,
which was received with every manifesto
ton OF pleasure.
Prof. Chas s. Mallette then sang In his
best stvle the thrilling descriptive song,
''The Desert"
Miss Lansberg, the young lady from Ma
con, reci-ed ia inimitable style "OuT
Friends and was greeted with applause
which was repeated ard repeated. Every
body was charmed aud delighted aud felt
that the anticipation fell far short of the
pleasure realized. Il was a genuine treat,
and the young lady cannot be too highly
complimented upon her success In capti-
vatng all hearts, by her melOdious voice
and rare elocutionary powers.

Mr.. sam 5 Guckenheimer, the energetic

returned the audience the thanks Of the
society for their attendance, encourage
ment and cordial cooperation In the effort
TO entertain and amuse during the dull
summer months.
He then stated that the floor would be
cleared Of the chairs, and all who desired
to "trip the light fantastic" would be favor
ed with the music. Dancing was com
menced at ten o'clock and continued until
eleven, and thus ended the pleasant enter
ta!nment.
In this connection, and in view of the
crowded hall last evening, many being rem
dered uncomfortable thereby, we would sug-
gest to the society the advisability OF giving
their next entertainment in the main hall OF
the Masonic Temple. We have no doubt
every seat would be occupied.

Celso Moreno, who acquired some noto-
riety not long ago in San Francisco in
connection with Chinese steamship lines,
was father of the project, and succeeded
in inducing the King to consent to it
and empower him to carry it to compile
ton. The plan was that the Chinese
steamers were to import as speedily as
possible l. 000, 900 Chinese subjects into
the islands. and these were TO be taxed
seven dollars a head, thereby raising
81, 600. 600 Immediately the Minister of
the Interior was to issue a proclama-
ton declaring all persons on the
island citizens who wished the franchise
The government was then to proclaim
to the people that it was favorable to an
annexation to China, and call upon the
people for a popular expression on the
question. The 1000, 200 coolies would
outvOte all the other population, and
naturally would vote for annexation.

a sharp Fellow.

Yesterday morning the Captain Of yes
sci trading along the coast called upon
Magistrate Molina and invoked his assist
ance IN discovering a sharp thief who had
fraudulentIy gotten possession Of his watch
and chain. The Captain stated that on
Tuesday night he parted with his mate, who
is a Swede, on Bay street, the latter going
to the vessel and the former remaining up
town to see the sights. Before
parting, however, the Captain gave
the mate his handsome gold watch and
chain TO keep for him until his return.
Shortly after the mate reached the vessel a
white man, giving his name as Murphy,
came on board the vessel and stated that
the Captain had sent him to get his watch.
The mate, presuming that Il was al right,
gave the fellow the watch, and he left, and
has not since been seen. The neXs
morning the Captain, on his return TO
his vessel, inquired for his watch
when the mate informed him that he had
given il TO the man he had sent for It. The
Captain denied any knowledge of such mes
sengeT, and a search was at once made for
Murphy, but OF course he could not be
found. The suppOsiJiOn is that Murphy
was standing near by the Captain and mate
when they parted, heard their conversation,
and saw the former give the latter HIS
watch. Perceiving that the mate was for
eiguer, he Immediately conceived the idea
of getting the watch from him under false
pretences, and admirably succeeded Muir
DIV is anxiously looked for, but Il is doubt
full II he will ever be found.

The Freight ship OF the Central
Railroad Company.

The peculiar name Of the steamship re-
Gently purchased by the Ocean Steamship
Company Of Savannah, the "Dessoug," has
excited many inquiries, and for the inforns-
ton Of our readers we will now give
brief sketch Of this new acquisition TO the
facilities Of the Central Railroad. The
Dsssoug was built on the Clyde, in 1853,
specially for the Egyptian Government, a.
a dispatch steamer, between Alexandra
and Constantinople. Her name was given
in honor Of the important and thriving VII
lsge, DsssOug, in the centre OF an agricul-
tural district where the tithes Of the entire
district we're paid. She was then hand
someiy fitted up. and was very strongly
built and supplied with powerful engines.
During her service under the Egyptian
Government, she had magnificent apart
ments on the main deck, fitted up regard
less Of expense, aud IN the most luxurious
style, for the Sultan and his harem. These
departments were undisturbed until after her
late purchase. She was bought by Captain
Gorringe, Of the United States navy, for
the express purpose Of bringing TO this
country the celebrated Egyptian Obelisk
known as Cleopatra's Needle, which is now
one Of the curiosities and attractions OF
New York. On her passage across the
ocean with this mammoth needle, she had
an average capacity Of nine knots per hour.
After her safe arrival at New York and
discharge Of the obelisk. the Dessoug was
taken to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where
she was offered for sale. Capt. Gorringe
having no further use for her.
She was carefully and thoroughly ex-
amined by experts in the employ OF the
Ocean Steamship Company, Of Savannah,
and was found sound and staunch in every
particular, and is considered one Of the
strongest built boats that has ever been in
New York harbor. The examination prov
ing so satisfactory the Dessoug was
purchased by Colonel VIM NJ Wad-
ley for the sum Of S57 $40, as
a freighting ship for the Ocean Steam
ship Company to run between Savannah and
New York. The elegant apartments on the
main deck were removed and the space de-
voted to freight purposes. She has been
thoroughly renovated and raised forward a
trihe IN order to improve her appearance,
and handsome moulding has been placed
around her bends, similar to that on the
other steamships Of the line The name
"Dessough" carved on an elegant scroll,
adorns her Stern, and altogether,
when ready for service on the line, she
will present an exceedingly attractive ap-
pearance. She is schooner rugged. The
Dessoug will leave New York for Savannah
about the l4th Of August, and will there
after run regularly on the line.

Of the steamer Plant just previous to her leay-
There we're some five or six cows TO be
carried to Tybee, and several had been
safely gotten on board, when the Others
were seized with a frOlicsOme spirit and

caused some skedaddling. The festive bO-

THE RIVER.
JettIes Needed In the savannah.

The oldest inhabitant does not remember
a worse condition Of the river in summer
time. The water Is not only very low, but
the sand bars are higher and more trouble
some than ever before. Augusta cannot
certainly be called the head Of navigation
now, for boats can only come up as high as
the Ferry, some three miles below the city.
The very high water Of last winter raised
the sand bars TO an unusual extent, and
the channel has not cleared itself in cOnse-
qUence. A sand bar just below the Ferry
and the Port Royal Railroad bridge has
given a great deal Of trouble this year,
and It was never an obstacle for boats up to
this season.
The river below Augusta as well as above
the city needs attention, and that as soon
as the government engineers can put in
their work The channel from Augusta,
several miles down the river, should be
opened with jettits, and the expenditure Of
a few thousands OF a government appropria
ton would do twenty times az much good
in a commercial sense, as the same amount
OF money, which Congress ia ever willing TO
give TO the little creeks up North.-Aag1eaa

Nous VERRoNs.

The first words uttered by Mrs. Nicolson
upon seeing her sons body were, "Ohl
speak to me, my boy" and this pathetic
appeal suggested the following lines:
The mother sat In Northern cline,
Waiting for news Of her boy,
Counting the moments of passing time
That would bring her tidlngs of Joy.
But under the darksome pillows deep,
Where the glittering white sands reach
Your darling boy has gone TO sleep,
And his resting place is the beach.
And the wire flashes the terrible tale:
Your boy was drowned last night"
And the mothers heart goes out in the wall
20 God! this cannot be right"
The mother goes back on her lonely rlde'
With her heart bereft of joy,
And, looking her last on his face, she cried
"Oh! speak to me, my boyV"
