HARD-HEADED WATERS.
HE WALKS HOME WITH HOLE
IN HIS SKULL.
A Tomale Peddler's Severe wound-His
Partner Cracks His Head With Ham
mer-His Injuries.

A fine illustration of the proverbial
hard skull of the African was afforded
the police surgeons, yesterday after
noon. At about O'Clock John Walters,
a colored man living at 54 Hope street,
was brought into police headquarters,
with hole two inches in diameter and
half an inch deep over his right eye
brow. The frontal bone was badly
crushed, and was driven in against the
brain. Yet within an hour the solid
headed John walked out of the station
and went to his home, where he will be
further attended to by the police sur
geons today. The only thing done for
him in the receiving hospital was the
elevation of the depressed bone with a
simple lever, tie operation being per-
formed by DR.. Bryant, assisted by DR..
Murphy.
The injury from which Walters is suf-
fering was inflicted upon him by part
ner of his, a colored man named 'Doc"
Lee. The two are in the tamale bust
ness, and had violent argument on
Hope street about taking out the cart.
eventually Lee lost his temper, and in
his anger grabbed hammer and with
one violent blow drove it into Waiters's
skull. He then made his escape. A
warrant for his arrest was issued by
Judge Owens, and the police are looking
for the culprit. er

BUTTER MAKING.
A Warning to the Public.

Mrs. Della McGregor, of 251 South
Olive street, who is the sole owner of
the valuable patent process, by which
milk is made into butter, desires the
public to know that l. S. R. Henderson,
of 2ll West Fourth street, or no other
person, has authority to sell the right or
make the butter in this state. Mr.. Hen
derson has the right for the state of
Connecticut, and as the process is
secured to Mrs. McGregor by . United
States patent, any infringement thereon
will be vigorously prosecuted.

OYSTERS. .

Those who CHANGED to read the edi-
torial in yesterdays issue of the Times,
on what they please to term the "Oyster
War;" could but surmise that some
news or sehoolboy had been given a
chance to display his ignorance, and he
did it we'll. They 60 on to say that
''Col. Duncan is not to be beaten by

ness, 'not play" has already placed
him outside the ring, and the public
have no desire to back anything but the
favorite, if they can make sure as to
which it is. In this case it has been
conclusively proven, as the Morgan
Eagle Brand sales are increasing daily,
the public desiring to place their money
where they know they will get its equiv
alent. The schoolboy also got his

1t is surprising that the Balti-
more man did not go to the "Castle"
for a certificate. Probably the reason
he did not do so was, THAI the same

contrast to the free lads" given to the
Texas oyster. And as the ''Castle" staff
have such poorly lined pockets and such
inferior palates that they do not know
the difference between genuine oyster
such as the Morgan and shell full of
mud, the consequent revenue would
hardly warrant the attempt.
As to the attempted poetry on the
9th page, lunatics may understand it,
sane men never. The long and short of
the whole matter is, that the principal
topic of conversation in this city is
about the splendid Morgan Eagle Brand
oyster; in fact, sit is in everybody's
mouth" AS to the supposed Texas

La Grippei

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for it's
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

at once manifested great uneasiness,
and pretended great indignation at be-
ing thus treated. Col. Baird frankly
told them that he had his suspicious Of
their true character, and that they
should, if loyal, object to no necessary
caution. They were very hard 70 sat

of. Col. Baird told them that they
were under arrest. and he should hold
them until he was fully satisfied that
they were what they purported to be.
He Immediately telegraphed to Gen.
Roseerans. and received the answer
that he knew nothing Of any such men,
that there were no such men in his en-
ploy or had his pass.
Long before this dispatch was re-
ceived, however. everyone who had an
opportunity of hearing their converse
tion was wen satisfied that they We're
spies. Smart as they We're. they gave
frequent and distinct evidence of du-
plicitv. After this dispatch came TO

scented without opposition, but the col

was useless, and both submitted. When

the facts to Gen. Rosecrans, and asked
what he should do, and in a short time
received an order to try them by a
drum-head court-martial and if found
guilty to hang them Immediately" The
court was convened, and before day
light the case was decided, and the pris-
oners informed that they must prepare
for immediate death by hanging.
At daylight men were detailed to
make a scaffold. The prisoners were
visited by the chaplain of the Seventy
eighth Illinois who, at their request,
administered the sacrament to them.
They also wrote letters to their friends,
and deposited their jewelry, silver cups,
watches, and other valuables for trans
mission to them.
The colonel was buried with a gold
locket and chain on his neck. This
locket contained a portrait and braid
of hair of his intended wife; her por-
trait was also in his vest pocket. These
were buried with him at his request
Both men were buried in the same
grave.
They were too well informed not to
know that upon conviction of being
spies they must suffer DEATH and hence
they expected it and made no COM

Col orion, the principal, who recog-
nized Col Watkins as soon as he saw
him, told him that he barely escaped
with his life when the arrest was made
that he had his hand upon his pistol
to kill him and escape Had it been
anyone else he would have done so.
Col orion delivered his sword and
pistols to Col Watkins and told him to
keep and wear them. He also presented
him with his horse, which he valued at
five thousand dollars, and asked him to
treat him kindly for his sake Atlanta

FRANKLIN lcun- June 8, 1856
Last evening about shutdown two
strangers rode into camp and called at
Col Baird's headquarters, who present
ed unusual appearances. They had on
citizens overcoats, federal regulation
pants and caps. The caps were covered
with white flannel havelocks. They
wore side arms, and showed high intel
ligence. One claimed to be a colonel in
the United States army, and called him
self Col. AUSTIN the other called him
self Maj. Dunlap, and both represent
ing themselves as inspector generals of
the United States army. They repre-
scented that they were now out on an
expedition in this department inspect
ing the outposts and defenses, and that
day before yesterday they had been
overhauled by the enemy and lost their
coats and purses. They exhibited off
cial papers from Gen. Rosecrans, and
also from the war department at Wash
ington, confirming the rank business.
These were all right to Col Baird,
and at first satisfied him of their
honesty They asked the colonel to
loan them fifty dollars, as they had no
coats and no money to buy them. Col
Baird loaned them the money, and took
Co Austins note for it. Just at dark
they started, saying they were going to
Nashville and took that way. just as
soon as Their. horses heads were turned
the thought Of their being spies struck
Col. Baird, he says, like a thunderbolt,
and he ordered Col. Watkins. Of the
Sixth Kentucky cavalry, who was
standing by. to arrest them immediate

speed. Col Watkins hadno time t0call

set out on the chase. He ordered the
orderly to unsling his earbine, and if.
when he fthe colonel halted them. they
showed any suspicious motions, To fire
on them without waiting for an order.
They We're overtalzen about one-third
of mile from here. Col Watkins told
them that Col Baird wanted to ma Ike
some further inquiries Of them. and
asked ,hem to return.
This they politely consented to do,
after some. remonstrance on account of
the lateness Of the hour and the dis
lance they had to travel. and Col Wat
kins led them to his tent, where he
placed strong guard over them. It
was not until one Of them attempted to
