Now if We let the Lord choose for us

Sodom-he looked toward the city y-and
it was not long before his business took
him there. lie went down there perhaps
to sell his cattle. and found good mar

him to 90 down there. lie could make a
great deal Of money could make it fas
ter When q man pitches his tent before
Sodom and looks in it won't be long be-
fore lie gets in there.
Hi. business took him there. "Busi-

then it will be ruin to your family 60,

business before his family. Business
must be attended to, let the consequences
be what they will.
In the sight Of the world Lot WAS one
Of the most successful business men Of
all Sodom. If you had gone III there q
little while before destruction came upon
it and inquired about the place aud its
leading men, they would have told you
that Lot. the nephew of Abraham, was
one of the most successful men in all
Sodom. He held Office. We find him
sitting ut the gate. and that is Il sign
that he was an officer. Perhaps they
made him q judgc-a good, high.sound-

man of great influence in the sight of
the world-immense influence. They
would have told you that he was one of
the most influential men in all Sodon.
He owned, perhaps, the best corner lots,
and he may have had his name on them.
If they had had a Congress in those days
he would have been very popular man
to send to Congress. He would have
been "Thc Hon. Mr.. Lot, of Sodom."
He WAS man tho world delighted to

AnOther h1Fcf 0Au IAarDOf BILL"
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Western and
Southern members of Congress are anx-
ious to pass river and harbor bill. not
withstanding the failure of the Secretary
of War to furnish estimates for the work.
l. is learned that the estimates Of the
engineer officers to carry forward the
work provided for under the last bill, were
SIS. 100000. It is proposed by several
Senators and congressman to compel the
Secretary of War to furnish estimates by
calling upon him through a joint resolu-
tion of the two Houses to transmit esti-
mates for the particular objects of i'm.
provements in which the constituents of
these gentlemen are interested. Senator
Jones, for example, has introduced reso-
luton in the Senate, calling upon the
Secretary to furnish estimates for future
work upon the Mississippi river. Similar
resolutions in relation to improvements
on the Pacific slope and elsewhere will be
introduced.

Yellow Fever.

PENSACOLA, FLA, Nov. 2.-Seven
new cases of yellow fever and
one death are reported to,day.
There is reason to believe that the
report of new cases is imperfect.
The death occurred in the Nix set
tlement. Dr. Martin, of the Navy,
who has been prosecuting an investi-
cation of the origin and propagation
of the fever, ON behalf of the Ma
,ional Board of Health, is one of the
new cases, having been attacked last
evening. He has every attention
from the board of health and his per
sonal friends The continued warmth
of the weather causes much disap-
pointment and apprehension, but
thus far there is but little aggrava
ton of the prevailing pestilence.
The long silence of the church
bells was broken yesterday-All
Saints Day-by the ringing of the
bell of the Episcopal Church.
The negroes were the last to dis
continue their tin tin -abulation, and
it required repeated orders from the

of it, having quietly followed the

terview then ended and the troops
were Withdrawn to the steamer
Granite State, under cover of the
cannon, which was turned toward
tue mob, until every soldier had en-
barked, and were then dragged
downthe hill and into the boat.
The boat then left for Ashland with
the troops and prisoners, and at the
same time the mob b ,arded the train
and started towards Ashland
When the boat arrived within mile
of Ashland the train came in sight
and ran along the track which skirts
the river front at that point at the
same speed as the boat. A great
number of shots were fired from the
train at the soldiers, but the range
was too great, and the shots fell
short. The shots were not respond
ed to by the troops, the command
ing officer ordering that no shots
be fired until necessary as means
of defense just as the Granite
State approached Ashland, a ferry
boat containing, it is supposed,
about 100 men armed with muskets,
rifles and shotguns, steamed from
The land and approached the Granite
State. The latter did not stop, but
passed on. When nearly opposite
to the Granite State, and from 200
to 300 yards distant, great many
shots We're fred from the ferry boat
at the troops, wounding several of
the soldiers. The command was
then given for the troops to return
fire, which they did, and a quick and
spirited conflict ensued for four or
five minutes. The smokestack and
hurricane deck of the Granite State
were we'll perforated by bullets from
the mob. -Four or five soldiers were
wounded, though none seriously.
The fire of the troops was
directed entirely at the
ferry boat containing the mob not
at the crowd collected on the bank,
which was very large, and apparent>
ly very enthusiastic in supporting
the mob on the ferry boat. In the
engagement the ferry boat was soon
slenced, and after the mob on her
had ceased to fire not a single shot
was fired by the troops.
The commanding officer, while res
GREETING that he was compelled to
take such strong and deadly
measures, feels that they were forced
upon him, and that the responsible
ity for the unfortunate results rests
entirely upon the men who attempted
to take the law into their own hands.
Many shots were fred before and
during the conflict by persons on
the opposite side of the river, at
short range, but it was by individ-
uals, and not by organized bodies,
and these shots were not returned
by the soldiers.

among the most entertaining features was
an elegant supper, served in the best of
style. Some splendid music was
furnished for the entertainment
of the party by Miss Chumbley,
who performs beautifully on the piano,
supplemented by some excellent vocal Sc
leetions by Miss Hattie Williams and Mr.
viii Crouch. One of the honored guests
of the occasion was Miss Julia Collins, of

we pitied the anti -bellum slaves, or the post

Mr.. Willard, the proprietor of the Ebbit
House, and another $500 for one from Mr.
Burch, the head clerk of this hotel, denying
that the facts as alleged by Henry james
are substantially true. We mean business
and if Houk wants to make enough none,
to pay a part of the dollars this campaign
has cost him, let him produce the affidavit
and get the reward.
