The letter plainly ayows three principal
objections to tie Blair bill First, that it Is
in the interests Of protective tariff; second,
that II is to educate the negro; third, that II
Is for common schools. That Is, this rep.
rcsentatIye Bourbon, speaking for his kind,
and not for Mississippi nor her people, op-
poses federal aid TO education because he
fears the revenue II may require will pre-.
vent the removal or reduction OF the pro.
lection which the tariff now affords TO the
labor, resources, and productions of the
land, including Mississippi and the whole
SOUTH because he Goes not want the negro
educated at public expense, If at all, and
because he is opposed to all popular educa-
ton. So much he says fatty and emphat-
ically. OF course the negro is made the eX-
cuse for the declared enmity to pub

suggestion Of the Pos, and its Mugwumps,
that the federal aid proposed will tend to

Judge Van Eaton strongly insists, on the

TURKEYS NAVAL STRENGTH.

Gle on the navies of the Mediterra.
mean, that by far the strongest nayaa:
power on that sea is Turkey. All the;
ironclads Of her fleet are Of recent con
struction, and most Of them have;
come from the best English ship
builders; the German ironclad Korig
Wilheln1 was originally. built for the
Turkish Government. The plates Of
the Turkish ironclads are from s Ia to;
inches thick 1.-TWO Of the casemat6;
ships have 9-inch plates), and they are
armed with s-inch and 9-inch Wool
wich : muzle-loaders, and Krupp
breech-loaders. Turkey has four:
ironclad frigates of $3.50 horse
power and 64 guns, six casemate ships
each of 700 horse power and guns,
and three turret-ships Of 1900 horse
power and II guns, making in all fifs
teen ironclads with $3.50 horse power
and 116 guns. To these should b6;
added three ironclad gunboats Of 30
horse power and six guns on the:
Danube, and two ironclad gunboats.
on the Lake of Scutari, each with 60;
horse power and two guns. The screw:
ships are also for the most part we'll.
built and equipped. They consist Of:
four ships of the line, thirteen frigates;
and corvettes, twenty-five avisos, and:
iwenty-seven gunboats and coastings
vessels, besides 1O1 transport ships,
all large and mostly we'll armed. The
actual strength of the available feet
of Russia on the Black Sea cannot at
present be accurately estimated, but;
the writer thinks there can be no
doubt that it is far inferior to that OF
the Turkish fleet. Austria has font!
ironclad casemate ships of 5000 horse
power and 60 guns, and seven Ton-..
clad friga*es Of 1850 horse power and
$50 guns. Three of these ships, how
ever, are now being rebuilt, and most;
Of the others do not fulfill the require:
ments Of modern naval warfare, either
as regards the thickness Of their plates;
or the calibre Of their guns. This re-:
mark applies even more to the Italian
ironclad ships, several Of (which are to;
be sold by auction this month, in or:

new ones more suitable to modern re-:

NOVEL TREATMENT FOR WOUNDS

Having noticed ar account OF thes
somewhat novel treatment, recently
applied in the case of wound, We
addressed note Of inquiryto the gen-
tleman named, Mr.. A. Z. Smoot,a cotla-
mission merchant of Baltimore, and rs.s
ceived reply, portion Of which,
with permission, we copy. Mr.. Smoot
says under date Of September 22:
son the 7th of the present month Z
accidentally jumped from on elevation
Of three or four feet on large nall or
spike driving it about two and
half inches through my foot. This
happened in the morning, and to-
ward evening the foot commenced:
swelling and the pain increased, sos
much So that it was with difficulty my
physicians, Drs. Atkinson and War
ner, could relieve me by the use Of tho
strongest narcotics. I slept but little
during the night. The next day the.
same treatment Was continued, with
the application Of a hop poultice to the
wound. On Ethat day received q card
signed 'Sympathizer, stating mat the
smoke from burning wool or wooden
rags would Immediately relieve tho
pain, and stop the Inflammation. The;
directions were to smoke the wound
twenty minutes at a time, repeating
the operation two or three times I
accordingly took piece of wooden
blanket, and after making a fire in an
iron pot I smothered it with pieces
Of the cloth and held my foot in the
smoke. This soon relieved the pain,
the swelling went down, and up to-
the present time there has been scarce:
ly any Inflammation; q little bloody
water has escaped from the sore, but
that is all. My physicians approved
Of the treatment, and I well know it
relieved me Of pain, and has proved q
great advantage in the healing Of the
wound. am now able to walk, and
the wound is doing we'll. I applied
the smoke once every day, and by the
advice of my physicians continued the
hop poultice. The treatment with the
smoke is said to be applicable to all
wounds arising from bruises, cuts,
nails, and the like, and I hope it
may prove beneficial to others. ~,

Sale Day.

Ordinarily Sale Day in January is an impor.
tant day in business circles ut Abbeville, but
last Monday Was an exception TO the rule.
The attendance was not large and there seem
ed to be but little money in circulation, al.
though some of our merchants made rcaSona-
Bly good collections. There were various cir
cumStances to bring about the dull day. In
the first place, there is in the country an un-
usual scarcity of money at this season, and in
the next place many citizens were deferred
from coming to town in consequence OF the
very heavy rain which had fallen the night
before, and which had raised The streams SO
much that they were impossible in places.
There was but little land exposed to sale,
and the prices realized were not high. The
amount OF horse flesh which were offered by
the auctioncerS was small, and the prices Oh
seems to be almost no demand for plow ami
mails, though every one who speaks on the
subject says that the demand will be good
next March.
