A Singular Case.
10. tAe oalAoun O. rlmes

From the Calhoun tGG.l Times.
Col. Henry ID. Capers, who has been at
tending court this week, gave us a short
history OF man who lived a few miles
below Adairsyille, which, il we could get
all Of ~, would no doubt prove interest
ing reading. The story reads:
Near Halls station, on the Western and
Atlantic railroad, there lived, In a misera-
BILE hut, former minister OF the Church
OF England, who gave his name as Rev.
Charles Thompson. He had wife and
four childr who have grown up in igno-
rance and poverty, though he gave evil
denoe OF culture and refinement, and ap-
peared as II ne had seen better days.
When Col. Capsrs first visited the hut,
the father was Ill, and ia January
last died. The mother then told the Colo
mel that her husband had been drawing
the interest on $500 sterling from Eng.
land, and engaged him TO look into the
matter for her. He opened a correspOn-
dence with relatives OF the deceased in
Nottingham, Eng, and found that an aunt,
who was wealthy, had placed that amount
at interest for him, and that at his death
the whole should 60 10 his children. Col.
Capers Is now In correspondence with the
executors Of the aunt, aud thinks he will
get the money for the children In a short
time.
Toe singular part OF the story is how
came this man, who was we'll edu Gated
and with good connections,to be hld away
In such place, with an illlterate woman
for vile, dragging out a miserable ex-
istence in wretcaedness and poverty.
II is said by his wife that be once bad

ALEX A.NDRIA
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6.

CONSIDERATION of the report of the Sec
rotary of the Navy suggests the idea that
there should be one, and only one, navy
ward in the country, but that that one should
have capacity equal to any possible drGughs
that mag be made upon it. The economy
of such yard IS made apparent by the most
casual reading OF the report alluded to, and
its numerous other advantages are almost
equally as visible. Of oil possible locations
for navy yard of the kind referred to none
possesses greater, and few as great, attrac-
siops as Alexandria. Fresh water, deep
water, temperate climate. accessibility
to wood, iron, coal and all the other ship
building materials, and an impregnable po.
elton, essential requisites for such yard,
are all possessed in superior degree by
Alexandria, and besides, if located here, II
would be under the immediate eye Of che
naval authorities aud Congress as Washing
ing,on. Suppose the Virginia Maryland
congressional delegations, dnrins the con-
sidsration Of the naval appropriation bill.
now that the Washington navy yard has
been abolished, at least try 10 have such q
yard established, ard 10 have it ct Alexan-
dria. IF they do, and shall succeed they
will not oaly deserve we'll OF their constiLu-
eats, but also Of the whole country.
