ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF 1T.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Dec. 81. The
Daily Telegraph publishes an interview
with two officers Of the Michigan cav
airy regiments which participated
in the capture and preceding pursuit
Of the fugitive party Of jeff. Davis.
One of the officers states that at the
time of the capture Of the private sol
dier Of the 4th Michigan caval Iy, VII
had seen Davis horse at Richmond,
identified the animal and took poses
sion, finding the saddle bags and hal
sters filled with gold coin. The soldier
buried the gold, and year or more al
ter returned TO the scene of the capture
and recovered the money. He brought
it north and gave numerous pieces TO
members of his regiment NJ souveniers
and invested the remainder. The sum
was originally 81 900, being part Of the
money divided among the confederate
presidents retinue at Abbeyville, when
crowded by the federal cavalry. An
officer of another regiment says that
subsequent TO the capture Of Davis, a
large sum Of specie said 10 be $4,000
or more, from the confederate specie
train, was discovered by soldiers in u
house near ferry, where the fugitive
president and the wagon train crossed
the river into Georgia. The money
was scattered among the soldiers and
lost.

Railroads and the Farmers

In his admirable address before the
Minnesota State Fair, Col. William f.
Villas spoke cf the immense benefit
which the western farmers have deriv-
ed from the railroads He said:
Before railroads were devised there
was no extensive freight communica-
ton but by water. And that was val
ueless unless conveniently accessible.
From this, the agriculture of past ages
gathered around the seas and lakes, or
lined the rivers margin. 1t girt the
Mediterranean and made famous the
valley of the Nile. The unwatered
world OF the interior was left to the
wandering nomad or the forest barba-
rian. 1t was the unknown region full
of mysterious terrors. The great Her
cvnian wood was the home of beasts,
brute and human the latter ever the
impending peril, and finally the de-
stroyer of the civilization of the world.
The reserve corps of barbarism lay
back on the plains of Russia
and Tartary, which nourished the
fierce savages who could live ON
equine flesh and carouse on the milk
of mares. So, too, water communica-
accessible. That is true, especially Of
inland navigation. 1t is weeks by wa
ter from st. Paul to New York, though
the aid of steam is invoked; and in
Northern climes that avenue is avail
bic for but half the year. Your mag
nihcent wheat fields would mostly
lie unbroken, farmers of Minnesota,
had not the invention and enterprise
of other men. stimulated by your de-
mands, laid the double-lined highway
to carry the freight-car laden with your
precious berry to the sea; the Indian
would still be master of the territories
of the west. Your lands derive their
value, your industry, its reward; your
homes the luxuries and the comforts
they exhibit, from the railroads of the
continent
In the beautiful language of that

highways of the world, along which

The Insurance Men.

New YORK, Dec. 27.-The board OF
fire underwriters met this evening to
make some arrangements to protect
the interests of insurance companies in
the matter of the South street bonded
warehouse fire, it having been explained
.hat such action WAS necessary owing
to the attitude of the government in
refusing to allow the damaged property
to be removed from bond. Two com
missioners were appointed to look after
the unidentified property and confer
with the government about the care Oi
it. No idea could be gained of the
amount of insurance on the burned
and damaged property, nor would the
list of policies issued to the owners
of the goods give an approx
mately correct idea of the losses, as in
many cases large risks held by one
company are known to have been re-
insured until not u dollar of the sum is
covered by the company writing the
policy. A report was made to-day to
the board, of the amounts of insurance
held by the losers at the fire at Broad
way and Franklin street, that occurred
the same time as the South street fire;
itaggregates to So, 100000. The firm OF
w. T. Moore holds of this $160, 800 and
Olmey Hall, $155,000 distributed in
companies. The loss of the former
firm is about $4,000 and the latter
$4,000.

Small Pox.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The small pox
seems to continue in this city at tie
same rate OF mortality and increase as
heretofore. One of the chief causes is
that the country towns send their cases
to this city for the authorities to care
for. One man was discovered in the
outskirts of the city who had been tax
en- with the disease while working on a
farm in Du Page county, and had at
once been hustled off on foot, TO Chica-
go. His face was a mass of blotcnes,
and he was steering for the pest house.
The disease has broken out in the coun-
ty hospital, three cases being discov-
cred there, they were. of course, taken
away, and all visiting at the hospital
has been interdicted for the present.
Two trains of immigrants by West
phalia, arrived yesterday from New
York. The health officers, learning oi
their approach, boarded the train out
side the city, and finding no small pox
cases, merely hustled the immigrants
through the city to their western desti-
nation.
