1t will be seen that the column Of

to $3.50, 0,347.27, but only to S26O, O,634 l6
and therefore the accounts do not bal

Now Governor Tillman says this is a
mistake of the printer and that the

site page as "Cash in the Treasury"
I must leave the public printer and
Governor Tillman to settle the cues
ton of mistake, but granting that TO be
true don't see how that helps him,
because the column of assests Is still
short and does not balance with the
liabilities.

KILLED BY ACCIDENT.
A Prominent Citizen of Har.
demdn County Dies From
a Gunsh0t Wound.

On Thurday afternoon, July &c,
Mr.. Sam Crowley, of the 10 district,
accidently shot himself, from the
effects of which he died within an
hour.
So far as we have been able to
learn, the details of the sad affair
are as follows:
Mr.. Crowley had been out hunt
ing and on returning home, came by
the residence of his son-in-law, Mr..
Joe. Watson, who was erecting a
new porch in front of his house.
Desiring to assist in the work, Mr..
Crowley placed his gun upon the
floor. The stock slipped, fell into a
hole, the hammer struck against the
plank, the gun was discharged and
the entire contents of the load lodg-
ed in Mr.. Crowley'S head and face.
After suffering intense agony, he
died in an hour afterwards.
Mr.. Sam Crowley was a good citi-
zen and a clever man, well liked by
everybody who knew him. He
leaves a wife and several grown
children.

The Fall of NckS6urg.

Through the courtesy of DIR. J. j.
Nicely, Jr., we have been presented
with copy of the Daily Citizen,
dated July End, 1868, printed at
Vicksburg, Miss, on wall paper.
The copy of the paper handed us
was the last ever issued. Two days
later, July 4th, the Federal forces
under Grant captured the city.
Among other things of interest,
we notice in the paper that the edi-
tor returns thanks to a Confederate
Major for ''mule steak" and adds
that sit is sweet, savOry and ten
der, and as long as we have a mule
left we are satisfied our soldiers
will be content to subsist upon it. "
Elsewhere appears the following;
''Grant has expressed his intention
of dining in Vicksburg on Sunday
next, and celebrating the 4th of Ju-
ly by a grand dinner. When asked
if he would invite Gen. Joe. John
son to join him, he SAID: mo; IoI
fear there will be row at the table.
Grant must get into the city before
he dimes in it. The way to cook a
rabbit is first to catch him."
The following note, dated July
4th, tells the tale:
1.-TWO days bring about great chan
ges. The banner of the Union
floats over Vicksburg. Gen. Grant
has "caught the rabbit; he has di
ned in Vicksburg, and he did bring
his dinner with him. The "Citizen'
lives to see it. For the last time il
appears on oval Paper" Nc
more will it eulogize the luxury Of
mule meat and fricassed kitten
urge Southern warriors to such die
nevermore. This is the last wal
paper Citizen, and is, excepting thi
note, from the types as we founC
them. 1t will be valuable hereaf
ter as a curiosity"
