A Torpedo Embedded in the River Owe
Ninefaen Years


DIR. G. Norton, of bingham county,
who arrived in the city yesterday, reports
that while at Old Sisters Ferry, Sunday,
29th ult., in company with his brother and
several gentlemen, making arrangements
for crossing the river at that point, while
driving down the hill, he, being behind the
buggy holding il back to prevent 1t
from running upon his horses, DIS
covered. as he bought, the cap OF
"A torpedo living upon the ground. lie
stoppcd the animals as soon as
possible and soon unearthed large
torpedo. weighing about 30 pounds,
which had evidently been placed there
with others by the Contederates after
the evacuation of Savannah to pre-
vent the light draft gunboats of the
Federal fleet from ascending the river.
II is in a remarkable state OF presefVa-
tion, and the doctor is of the opinion that
it is i'll condition to explode with the
slightest blow upon the cap. The road
way IN which it was found near
the waters edge is regular
tb0roughtare for parties crossing the
river III the ferry, and the wonder
is that il has not been struck by
the wheel Of some one of the many We
hiclcs passing over it for the last nineteen
years. The doctors theory is that the
cap was protected by huge boulders, ana
the wheels passing over would strike the
rocks and be thrown off from the torpedo.
However that may be, 1t was In danger
olts nosition. and it is fortunate that the
doctor discovered it. He intends to take
the powder out of the torpedo and then
present it to the Georgia Historical So
cietv as memento Of the late unpleasant
ness. where il can then be seen. Since
its discovery the doctor has learned that
one OF these shells, short time AFTER II
had been placed in position, exploded,
killing Confederate soldier, his horse,
and wounding another so badly that his
leg had to be amputated They are GER
tainly destructive things to be laying
around in such thoroughfares as that fOld
Sisters Ferry, and as there may be others
in the neighborhood it would be prudent
on the part OF travellers to be careful how
they drive their vehicles about that part
of the ferry

as an appropriation to carry out the i'm
proyements in the way Of opening up

would be a great improvement to SaVan-

Of witnessing this opera on previous occa-

guarantee that the entertainment will be
first class in every respect. The artists
embracing the combination nave been
spoken of very highly by our contem-

Charleston,s Riilemen.

Efforts are being made in Charleston to
organize a rifle association upon the plan
of the Savannah Rifle Association. The
NetrS and Courier of yesterday contains
the following relative to the matter. We
sincerely trust that success will crown
their efforts, and that, after organization,
a friendly meet will be arranged between
the Savannah and Charleston Clubs,
s.Some of the Charleston marksmen talk
Of organizing a rifle association on the
plan of the Savannah Association, which
was organized in 1870, and is now in sue
cessfJll operation. Its object is 'thc en-
courage ment of ritie-shooting and the use
of rifles Of the most approved patterns
The association has l43 members, among
whom are many of the most wealthy and
influential citizens of the Forest City,
who take an active interest in all the
affairs of the society and do all within
their power to- add to the efficiency Of the
organization. Gen. II. IL Anderson is
President of the Association. All the
members do not take part in the shooting
tournaments of the club; doubtless many
of them never handled rifle, and do not
know the difference between a smooth
bore and rified piece, but they
encourage it by their contrihu-
tons. and are willing to do this much
for the reputation of their community.
In Charleston the case is quiet different
Those who shoot with the rifle here
are few in number and have to depend
altogether upon their own resources.
They feel satisfied that they could learn
to shoot as well as anybody If they only
could get little encouragement from the
outside public. who, if they do not them
selves care to shoot, might help to keep
Charleston well up with the rest of the
world in what are called manly sports
The matter is now being agitated, and if a
rifle association should be formed it will
not he long, Judging from the excellence
reached by Charleston in all that she I'M
dertakes, before we shall have a shooting
team here that 4Yill make good record"
