Saturday was the coldest day of the yr ar. The thermometer ats a. M. stood Ave degrees below the freezing point, and had only re turned to lt at 10 o'clock. Almost every poo1 of water about the streets was covered with a thick crust of Ice, walch resisted the action of tue sun until the day was far spent, and then quickly congealed again as the sun's rays were removed. Along the banks of the rivers the salt waler also f roze into a thick shelf ol Ice, extending lu some places for ten feet from the shore. Through the marshes above the Northeastern Railroad depot the falling tide left numberless snow-white canopies, some of them covering areas of many feet. Yesterday, as indicated by the thermome? ter, the weather moderated somewhat; but J early In the morning there was even more ice to be seen than on Saturday. Though the thermometer has not lallen at any time so low as on the 25th of December, 1870, when It stood at twenty at eight A. M., yet this spell of cold may, considering Its duration, be re? garderas the most severe that Charleston has experienced for thi rty-five years. The reports brought by passengers on the South Carolina Railroad yesterday alternoon Indicate that a thaw bad commenced below Branchville, but J that the Ice stood firm above that point. Tbe following Is the range of the thermometer for the past two days : December 28th -8 A. H., 27; 10 A. M., 82; ?2 H., 35; 2 P. M, 39; 4 P. M., 86; 6 P. IL, 35; 8 P. If., 34.

Weare still enveloped In snow, and the weather Is Intensely cold. Last night one more unfortunate was found by the police nearly frozen to death. Several narrow es? capes are reporte ?. AU the railroad trains, with the exception of the Greenville and Co? lumbia and the South Carolina, have been a long wa; behind time. The Southern and Atlan? tic Telegraph Company had many miles or Une between Branchville and Charleston broken down, bnt they succeeded this morning, about ten o'clock, In potting everything In working order again. There has been a great deal of amusemej|ktn and about the city to? day in the, to us, rather novel exercise of skating. Many sore bones attest the truth of the old maxim, "Ne sutor ultra crepldam." Columbians cannot skate well. The politicians, like everybody else, seem frozen np, and there are no new develpments of any Interest. The taxes are belngAaid in with reasonable rapidity, and there la ifcconsf quent increase of confidence and of comfort among the mer chaabf^nd others who have made advances J opon the credit of the State. There ls a general disposition among the people to place more relianoe upon Cardozo than upon his predecessor, and to believe that so far as bis Individual power goes the pubUolunds will be honestly managed. It is rumored that Attorney-General Melton and JD. E. Chamberlain, whom he succeeded, are about to form a law partnership. Qui Vivs. The Cold In tbe State. The day passenger train on the Wilmington Columbia and Augusta Railroad did not arrive In Columbia un ii a late hour on Saturday. Cause-the tree; e. Fisher's mlli-pond In Columbia was frozen on Saturday, and there was excellent skating until the sun came out and some ol the skaters went In. Marlboro, Union, Cheraw and the interior toflp generally complain of a cold, sleety and dismal Christmas. The Cold In Georgi?. The telegraph wires in several places be? tween Augusta and Atlantu, and between At? lanta and Chattanooga, were down on Christ mas, saving been broken by the weight of ice upon th*-m. Last Thursday night (says the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel) was one of the cold? est nights ever felt In this latitude. Towards dark the wind rose and blew a heavy cale all night. The air was Icy cold, the mercury went down towards zero, and everything moist was frozen bard as a flint. About ten o'clock yesterday morning the clouds paysed away ano the sun came out, shlulng brightly and melting rapidly the Ice and sleet upon the grouch and bouseB. The weather has mode? rated^ little, bul at the present writing ls still Intensely cold. The Savannah News of 23th says: "There was complaint arnon? the vessels and at the presses under the bluff yesterday of the scar? city of negro labor. Many ot the vessels were compelled to suspend discharging and loading on tbls account. The cold weather had a demoralizing effect upon the darkeys, "and they would not venture from shelter, even to turn an boneBt penny." The Cold tn North Carolina. Snow on 27th at Wilmington, and the se? verest weather known there for years past. The Journal thus speaks of the weather in | Wilmington on Christmas: "Christmas day was certainly tbe most disagreeable of the three banored and fltty-seven that had prece? ded lt during the year. The day was ushered In by sleet, which fell until about ten o'clock, when lt was succeeded by rain, and the con- j dillon of the streets can then be easily Imag? ined. As may be Imagined, there wan no comfort anywhere else than by a good fire, and the streets were, therefore, almost entire? ly deserted." The Cold at the North. Nsw YORK, December 28. The weather ls moderating sllgbtlv. There Is considerable ice In the rivers and bay. The leading railroads have cleared their tracks, and regular trains will be resumed this after- j noon.

[FROH OCH OWN CORRESPONDE ] ELMWOOD, EDGEFIELD COONTA A, C., t Decembei- 25. j 'The ground ls covered with BLOW that com' m eu ced falling last night about twelve o'clock, and continued up lo to-day at twelve o'clock, which le the heaviest BUOW we have had thia winter. The flrat snow fell about two weeks ago, when the land waa very dry and well frozen, which continued several da} s without melting; but, strange to Bay, did not leave much moisture; but since then we have had a j superabundance of rain, filling all the water | courses that have been dry for months past. Maoy mills have oeen stopped lor months ?ast for the want of a sufficiency of water to eep them running, and many* springs and wella were dry; but since then all have a suffi- J olency. All the grain crons sown during the fall look well with but iew exceptions, where lt le rather thin, owing to the dryness of the laud, there not being a sufficiency of moisture to bri OL? a full stand up. There have been more i fat hogs slaughtered' the present winter than have been since the war, as|many freedmen have killed a sufficiency to do them the corn In? year, and all have been put up In fine stale of preservation, as the winter bas been very favorable, none being the least Injured where due diligence has been taken. I recollect lu 1829 a Kentukian by the name of Emory brought Into this county two thousand fine fat hogs, averaging over three hundred pounds gros*, and offering them at two cents per pound. Finding no purchaser at that price, he concluded to have them slaughtered and baconed up, giving the persona doing the j same the offal, viz: the backbones, apare ribs, heads, feet and leaf lard. The winter being warm, In fact so mild that the cotton stalks did not get killed below the surface of the earth, and many put out the following spring, the consequence waa Mr. Emory lost all of his meat but a few of the sides. I wrote to you some three years ago what wonld benefit Edgefleid more than anything else at the present lime, viz, a railroad run? ning from aiken via Edgefield Village to Ninety-six Depot on the Columbia and Green? ville Road, crossing the Augusta and Colum? bia Road at or near the Pine House Depot on the latter road.. Not much baa been done, only talk and the granting ot the charter by Legislature since then. The other day who should step in but Mr. E. Keese, with book In hand, for subscription to the said road, meeting with good success I for the time he had been out, taking every bouse indiscriminately on the route from the Pine House to Edgefield village, and from there to Ninety-six Depot, taking a width ol J about ten miles all along the route. Mr. Keese is a working mau, and ls getting many sub? scribers lo this road, both white and colored, as I saw many thousands of dollars on his I book, many et the colored peoDle subscribing] one hundred dollars, to be paid In work and crosB lies. I think now the prospect fair to I succeed. The people at Aiken should build the road up to the Pine Bouse Depot, as lt j would not cost much to do this. There would be very lillie grading on this part of the road, lt being very near level all the route. There have been about sixteen gin-bouses burnt In this county within ihe past six months-about half by accident and hall by incendiarism. With these buildings there bas been a loss of at least two hundred and fitly [ bales of cottOD. Tne whole loss with gin bosses, screws, gin-heads, wheat ians and cot? ton will not fall short ot sixty thousand dol? lars, and five thousand dollars will cover all the Insurance. I ihlnk every planter should Insure his gin-house with ten bales of cotton, and not keep more than thia in the building atone time during the cotton season, as a planter told me tne other day while be WSB ginning his cotton he came upon six matches just as he was pulling the cotton apart feeding his gin. Now perhaps If be had had a hired laborer to gin for him he would not have de? tected the matches lo his cotton; consequently his gin-house and contents would have been burnt, aa one match is generally sufficient to do the mischief. There ls not half the moving with the la? borers that there was a few years ago, as many are leasing land for five years, giving say for thirty acres one bale ol colton weigh? ing (our hundred lbs., fifty bushels of corn, and five hundred Iba. of fodder, each year for five years. This mode" of employing them I think a great deal the best, as lt will cause them to keep belter fencing and Improve the place more permanently. SENEX. SHOOTING AN OUTLA FF. The Robeson Conj Rt doced to a Soli? tary Survivor- Andrew Strong Shot Through the Head, and Shot Dead William Wilson the Man-?'he Body Tuleen loLumbcrlon-Pu ly Identified -96000 In Rewards Barntd [From the wilmington Journal.] One by one the band ol Robeson County outlaws have dwindled down until there ie now but one lelt of the entire formidable gang. For some time past Andrew Strong and Ste? phen Lowery have escaped the vengeance of j the law, and have reigned unmolested over i Scuffietown, but at length the former has been killed, and Stephen Lowery ls the only one left of the entire gang. At Eureka, a small Biatlon en the Wilming? ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad, In the heart ol the Scuffietown region, and about | eighty miles from the city, there was a con? siderable Christmas gathering of the clans of the outlaws on Thursday. Steve Lowery was absent, but Andrew Stroog waa lhere with a number ol bis friends. About two o'clock ol that day. while a number of negroes were In a j store at the siaiiou, one of ibem stole a num? ber of locks and secreted them In his pocket. He was charged with the theft by a young man by the name of William Wilson, a clerk ia the store, but he denied having taken ibem. Mr. Wilson then put his hund In the man's coat pocket and drew forth the locke. The crowd soon afterwards left the store. About an hour after this Andrew Stroog, who had evidently been drinking, came into the store and ordered Mr. Wilson to leave the county, swearing that If he did not he would kill bim. The young man Informed h'.m that he would do so, when Strong left the store. About five o'clock be returned, more Intoxi? cated than before, and repeated his command, lolling Mr: Wilson that li he lound him there at six o'clock the next morning he would cer? tainly kill bim. After saying ibis, the outlaw turned to leave the store, and, SB be did so, Wilton raised a double-barrelled gun that waa at hand and discharged one barrel at the outlaw, planting eighteen buckshot in his neck and head. Strong fell with scarce? ly a groan, and expired at onoe. The Tall of the outlaw at once spread con? sternation and dismay throughout the group of his dusky follower?, but no attempt was made to Interfere wiih Mr. Wilson. Had Sieve Lowery been there lt might have been different; bu: be was absent, and no attempt was made to rescue the body. Rhody Lowery, the widow or Henry Berry Lowery, the de? funct outlaw leader, and Bieter to Andrew Strong, aent in ? deputation requesting that the body might be delivered up to ber, but this was of course relused, intelligence being oouveyed to them, at the same lime, by Mr. Wilson, that he would shoot the rtrst man that dared to touch the body. Neverlhi lees, for lear that a rescue might possibly be attempted, Mr. Wilson and a number of other gentlemen hasti? ly placed the body In a wuzon and conveyed it to Lumberton, arriving at that lown about two o'clock A. M. The body waa at once surren? dered to Sheriff McMillan, and waa yesterday tully identified, whereupon the Bheriff paid over io the fortunate young man one thous? and dollars, the reward offered by the county for each of the outlaws, dead or alive. Be? sides lbl?, ls five thousand dollars to be paid by the Statt, as ihe reward offered by the Governor, under authority ol' the Legislature, which can be obtained on application. Mr. Wilson ls quite a young man, but one or much nerve and determination. He ls lrom the western part ot the State, and has been clerk? ing at Eureka for some lime past. The re? wards which he obtains for the killing of the outlaw will amount to quite a small lortune. -The Southern Standard, of Beaufort, says: "At Matthews' Bluff a meeting has been held in relation to the division ol the county.

The Fate of the Wild Ant mala-Their Cond act-Those that were ttescued. Toe New York papers come lo us laden with the hideous detalla of the burning of Barnum's Museum and Menagerie In that city on Tuesday morning last. The World describes the scene at tbe buming building, the action of the men inside, and tbe animals, ?co., aa follows: Hardly had the alarm been given when those who were attempting to free the quad? rupeds in the menagerie were compelled to beat a retreat, the flames following them with lightning rapidity, while the Bmoke which proceeded from the overheated and rotten woodwork ot the basement was horribly sti? fling. With the eight men who were in the building came the largest of the two ele? phants, the baby elephant and the dromedary. The larger beast on reaching the air threw up its trunk, gave a sort of mourning snort, and started up Irving place at a swift gait, and was not captured till lt hud reached Seven? teenth street, when it was secured and taken with the two other lucky animals to Barnum's stable In Weet Thirtieth streer. As to the other an?mala, the carn?vora and monkeys were In all probability smothered before being burned, as they cried but little. Tbe giraffe, the other elephant and the camel did not fare so well. Stupefied by the smoke and paralyzed willi lear by the fire, they huddled together as the flames reached them, and one by one they fell into the fire, and for several mloutea struggled fearfully against their fate. Tne elephant showed signs of vitality ten min? utes after the flames reached him, and aa the smoke lilted, his huge carcass could be seen to heave like that of a whale at sea. It look the flames about a quarter of an bour lo com? pletely envelop the eutire structure, and as soon as the roof was reached everything seemed to be lapped up. As engine after engine came rattling to ihe SDor. gradually more Plumberers became aroused. Those who still remained wrapped In slumber were finally called to sudden con? sciousness by a strange, uneatthly sound which, f r the moment, seemed bul the con titillation of a grisly nightmare. Thia wild, weird noise was the trumpeting of the two elephants who were saved, Jeannette and Gypsy, tor eo long a time stationed In Central Park, where the Tittle one, Gypsy, used to be such a perennial Joy to children. They had escaped the flames, roaring and bellowing be? hind them, and ran In their clumsy, long reaching fashion out Into the street. When near the corner of the block they were Joined by one of their keepera, wno, not daring to attempt leading them back the way they had come, guided them up the avenue and through Fifteenth street to Irving Place. Here they were -picketed, and for some Instants remained tranquil. Soon, however, their trunks were raised Into the air, and their curious screams frightened all listeners. Their keeper left them, went towards the burning building, and returned with a dog which had beeu accustomed lo play about them. The animal ran up to the two ele? phants, leaping and wagging not aloue bis tall, but the wnole hinder part of bis body. Rubbing against the huge legs, which were about the same size as bis o wu body, be gam? bolled around them with great apparent glee at again seeing bis playmates. Nor did the elephants seem less delighted; their small, keen eyes looked -kindly upon him, (heir feet were moved cautiously, lest Home injury should be unwittingly Inflicted, and every uow and then their trunks would gracefully de? scribe a long, sweeping circle and soli ly stroke 'the sides of the dog. Near them was teth? ered the si ot; le camel, which had been brought out from the fiery lurnace, and be? fore long the three BurvhMng animals ol the large menagerie were led away to a place where the atmosphere was better suited io their comfort iban was the cold, keen air of a winier morning. lu a conversation with the property-man of th? circus, the writer asked: "What was the first Intimation those in charge of the animals had or the Ure ?" "Well, there are several men who look care of the beasts, and about four o'clock this morning the tamer, Lion Charley we call him, who sleeps directly in front of the Hons' cage, was awakened by an awlul roaring. He raised himself up on his elbow, and saw the Ilona wlrie awake, and one ol them dashing against the bara of ihe cage and shaking ih?m. 'Shut up,'anya he; '#hut are you making all this nelse about ?' He was just turning over to no io sleep again when ne saw the dre coming out of the boiler-room. So be Jumps up and culls the oiher men-t hey were all in their shirts and drawers-and I hen ran to tb.3 other end of the building. When they got there they lound Camel Charley, the one who bas charge ol these anlmala.andCooa -he'd a darkey that lakes care ol the snakes, and Bleeps every night on the top ol'the cage where they're kepi-trying to put out the dre, which by this time hud reached the gir? affe's cage. While they were do'ng ihls, two ' went to work tearing dowi the burs so as to let the animals loose. You can imagine how much the fire had,gained when I tell you that even the manes aud tails of the giraffes were on Ure. Well, they got the bars down and pei8tiaded one ol them to come out-To winy he was, oue of the nicest, gentlest Utile fel? lows mat ever was; you could lead bim all over town with one end of a pocket-handker? chief In his mouth. But Just as soon as he saw ihe flames be wheeled right round and rushed back into the cage, and lhere they bad to leave him. It is curious, but all animals except ele? phants are like horses, dre scares them so thut they dou'tknow what i hey 're about, and li's Hie hardest work lu the world to move them away. Then the Ure ran ou to the cage of the happy family, and all them were Jabbering and Jump? ing and flying around inside, making a tre? mendous row. You see, the cages were made of pine wood, and ihe Hirnes rushed over them In an Instant. I was ou i he ground wllbln ten minutes after the first alarm was sounded, and aided to the best ol my ability to rescue the animals, but the building burned too quickly for us." "Would you have let the lions uud tigera loose ia the streets." "Cerialuly, though I don't know about the tigers, they are ao treacherous mal you eau never tell what they will do. AB to the lions, you know we have nels ready to catch them In as they come ont of the caire, so we should have had no trouble with them. But we bad not lime enough to do anything, and some of uj had to run for lt pretty hard to save our? selves." ANOTHER NEW YORK FIRE. Rescue or Sixty Girls from the Flames. The Ure on Centre street, New York, on Tuesday evening, which destroyed the six story brick building occupied by the New York Newspaper Printing Company and other?, lt is etated, originated by the acci? dental Ignition o? a benzine eau on the third floor, used for Job and newspaper printing. The flames spread so rapidly that the em? ployees of the establishment were unable to save their personal property, and it is asserted that several persons lost their lives. The filth and sixth floors are occupied by Anderson, Archer & Co. as a bookbindery. Un these floors there were at work some six? ty girls, who were ignorant ot the existence ol Hie Ure until they were almost surrounded bv the flames. Two young men from one of the lower floorB, who were aware of the peri? lous position ot the girls, ventured, at the risk of their own lives, to rush up the stairs and give ihe alarm. Almost simultaneously with their alarm the fire appeared through the cracks ol the fourth-story floor, un<! in an in? stant everything and everybody was thrown into the greatest excitement. Women and girls rushed through the building screaming fearfully, while others became unconscious and swooned away. The first impulse of the terror-stricken women was to rush down the stairway, but scarcely had they descended a dozen steps, bet?re they were torced back by volumes of thick smoke. Those who were down on the lower steps attempted to turn back, but behind ihem was an army of em? ployees, who, In their haste to escape, threw themselves bodily down ihe Blairs, and thus compelled ihose beneath them to rush HEADLONG THROUGH THE SMOKE or remain in their perilous position to be roasted alive. Some who were more daring risked the only chance placed beiore them, and, covering their faces with their aprons, rushed ihrough the smoky passage-way, and finally reached the stairway almost suffocated. As they arrived at the third floor (be flames could be seen hissing through the crevices of the doora and wall?. The girls who bad gone thus lar in their eagerness to escape from the flame?, threw themselves down the ttairwar, alighting all in a heap at the bottom. At thia plaoe men were siationed, who, as soon as the affrighted girls landed on the second floor, picked them almost bodily In their arma and rushed down the Blalrvay to the Btreet. Many of them had Hinted awav. The flames had by thia lime enveloped the third, fourth and a pm of the filth floor. The et air wa v. which was believed to bi the only means of escapp, was a sheet ol fir*, and the remaining twenty-two girls, who were known tobe in Bide the building, wereigiven up lor lost. While some of the girls escaped In the man? ner already mentioned, th? remaining pori lon, who were compelled to Urrn back, rushed to the fifi h and sixth floors and attempted to reach the roof. This was found to be Impossi? ble, and many of them gave up in despair and sar, down upon their stool? awaiting iheir ter? rible doom; others rushed from window to window lrantically crying] for help, while the rest passed the short ilmeleft them In prayer. Every moment added td their danger, and inch by inch the Are approached nearer to them. Just as the flames were within a few feet of them, one ot the men, named John Brandt, who was on the eime floor, CRIED IN" A LC ID VOICE, "Girls, save yourselves; I have fixed the fire escape." The sentence gave hope to the poor victims, and simultaneously with the ut? terance of ibe last word: a rush was made, audio a lew seconds th rei girls were already clambetlng down the Iron ladder., Many of them were afraid to risk tbtdr lives on the rick? ety concern, and seemed disinclined to make any effort, but as they casta backward look at Ihe flames they took courage and lollowed the others. Those who were most afraid John Brandt assisted down as bent he could, and when they were safe he ascended for the oth? ers. When he last went up six were on the floor, three of whom cima down with bim. He then started for the others, but the flames from one of the other floors burst our, and be was compelled to turn back. What became of the three remaining girl! Is not known,'brit they are no doubt lost. Who ihey were ls not yet known, but lt ls believed lhat Jenny stewart, aged twenty year?, la one of them, as she had not returned home up to a late hour last night. A number of the men and girls were more or leas Injured, the majority of whom tell from the fire escape In their hurry to save themselves.

A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF TBE TROUBLE AND ITS ORIGIN. The Scene of Oprro Hons-The Wild Vantage-Ground oirthe Itedeklna. [Prom tbe Oregon Herald.] It Ia possible tbat very erroneous Impres? sions may get abroad In regard to the recent trouble with the Modoo lud?aos in this State, and such Impressions maj baye the tendency to retard Immigration. With a view to cor? rect any such false notions, it may be proper to slate that the disturbances occurred upon the extreme southeastern frontier ol Oregon, very remote from the more populous portions of the State, where the country is very sparse? ly occupied by settlers. This outbreak la ex? ceptional, altogether remarkable, and can acarcely ever be repealed. It has been at? tended with the killing of quite a number of hardy pioneers, probably some twelve or fif? teen excellent men, wiose, loss must be severely fell by those lofuut settlements; but lt does not In any degree affect the peace and food order of the other portions of the State, he disturbance-war lt cannot properly be called-waa entirely local, affecting only the Link Biver and Klamalh Lake region. The origin of the trou be, as we understand lt, ls about as follows: A region of country in the southeast part ef tl ie State, called the Klamath reservation, had. been assigned by the government to the occupancy of the Mo doc Indians. Here the government bad made liberal provision for the accommodation of the Indians, looking, of course, to their civil? ization and .to the adoption by them of hab? ita ot industry. The Moilocs, it seems, were averse to going on to the reservation, prefer? ring the idle, vagabond life which they had been accustomed to lead. Tr.ev were on friendly terms wllh the few settlers In that region, and no serious trouble was appre? hended from them; still lt was desirable that they should be made to occupy the reserva? tion assigned to them. Their reluctance was borne with for a considerable time, until finally Imperative orders came from Washing? ton that the savages must be taken to their reservation by force. If no other means would suffice, and guarded there. Persuasion was used, but without avail. Finally, a company of United States troops was ordered to the camp ot Scar-faced Charley, a chief of the tribe, wltb directions to remove him und his people forcibly ll they refused to go peace? ably. And here, lt seems to us. without in? tending any cupi ions criticism of any? body, a serious mlsialce was made. Ihe troops .from Fort Elamath, ordered to thia duly, were entirely too few In number to carry out the order, if foree should be required. But it was supposed, doubtless, that the Indians wculd not be BO mad and reckless BB to attempt for Mole resistance. They did, however, resist. When the officer In command, with bis troops, came to Charley's camp, he first tried peisuaelon; and finally, when ihe Indians saw there was no other al? ternative but to fight or comply, they madly and foolishly decided to tight. A skirmish en? sued, in which some Indians were killed, and they, Indian-like, comm?meed lo massacre the unsuspecting ?nd defen celess settlers, whose Isolated habitations favored (he Indian pur? pose. Of course ihe warfare ls of short dura? tion. Troops from ot he : stations were quick? ly massed In sufficient numbers lo protect the settlements, and the settlers themselves, aided from other parts rf the country, were quite compeient to their own protection. The Indians, quick to strlek, were able, however, to perpetrate their murders upon unsuspect? ing families before they could be arrested. The result will be that the Indians will now be forced upon their reservation and com? pelled to stay there, under an adequate guard of government troops. Tula will be very speedily done. The following ls a description of the lava bed country, and which 1B likely lo be the seen? of the Modoc opel al lons: It ls located on the som hem ghi-i,of Tole Lake, and ls situated wholly in Ced?rnla, just south ot the Oregon boundary line", ?ontaming an area of ten miles square, all cut upwiih Usantes and deep gulches, and about ding wit h large caves, the largest cave being that known as Ben Wright's cave, said to contain Alteen acres of open space under ground, to which theie la a good spring and many openings by which a j man can crawl throngi, the malu entrance being about tbe Bizi c t a common window, i The gulches and crevices range from a few I feet to one hundred feet lu width, and many of them one hundred feet deep. The Indians can travel all through this lava oouuiry ny trails known only to themselves, and stand on bluffs over a person one hundred feet beneath, where If. would require a long Journey to go to them. In this lava bt d are also small flats luxuriant with bunch grasB, where cattle And great trouble In reacting by long, circui? tous travel over rouich lava rock>, while on Ihe outskirts cf the lava bed may continually be fo ind a large amount ot stock, the cattle range being unsur? passed. The Indians c; .n see every one coin? ing in Ave miles off wltliout themselves being Been. They can also let their pursuers come within a few feet of tho bluff and shoot down, retiring if necessary lo oilier similar bluffs; As to food, the Indians san find all they want ot callie in and around ihe lava bed, und can also go om lo the lake in canofs lo fish or shoot game. Toe only thing they now lack for a long alege will be ammunition for their guns; but they will make arrows Instead. Those pursuing will bMVe to follow the In? dians on loot, and in Journeying through these gullies and crevices tu hunt them must ex? pect to find the Modccs on the high bluffs above them on every point, or making their way through concealed passages to secure hiding placea, lt will require the greatest cunning and strategy to capture or extermi? nate ihe Mcdocs In tiilt lava section, notwith? standing their Insignificant numbers. THE DANCE OF TBE LUNATICS. A Qucrr En erialnment. [From the Columbia Huton.] Thursday night the first of the hops for the season yearly luangurated by Dr. J. F. Ensor, superintendent ot the Slate Lunatic Asylum, was given. The lnclemeucy ot the weather kept away many lu vi ted guests, yet there were enough present to make an agr?able party. The enjoyment of the occasion was uninterrupted. The a uslc was furnished by the Institution. Seventy-live of the patients were present, and entered into the festivities with much zeal; not a word or action by them was out of place, and the accuracy of their movements lu going through the various figures or the dance, surprised all. Many of tnem walized well, ami they all appeared to view the occasion with great relier and satis? faction. The promptness and delicacy which characterized their selection of partners, and the politeness of them towards each other, as well aa towards those with whom they came in contact, might be et vied by circles claiming more reaaon, and was an endorsement of the patient care and bani toll of the officers In charge at the Asylum, under every difficulty, for the benefit of ibelr suffering leilow-belngs. The dancing waa kept up to a reasonable hour, ihe guest Joining ire sly in the same, contri? buting much towards breaking the monotony of the lives ot the patlouts. Other similar oc? casions are to iollow at convenient and stated times, when cards ol Invltailon-whlch the experience or past seasons has suggested to be for the best-will be issued.

THE FLOODS IN GEORGIA. j Rlae of the Blowah, Oostecauia and Coota Rivera-Large Tracts of Conn? try Submerged-The Railroads Wash? ed Away-Destruction ?f Property. [Correspondence of tne Atlanta Herald.] KINOSTON, December 2*. Your readers havetut little Idea of the ex? tent and destrucllveneas of the late flood In Etowah and the Oostenauia gtad Goo ea rivers, and more especially of Euharlle and other creeks flowing luto these rivers. For five days previous to the hard rain on Mo-day night lt rained unceasingly, and on Monday lt simply poured In torrents. Here, at Kingston, the small creek that j flows by this place rose so rapidly that per? sons occupying the railroad shanties bad to swim for their lives. Jn one Instance, I am told, a little boy woke up and said to his father that the bed was wet, and the father, on reaching out his band, struck lt against a floating plank, which proved to be part ol the floor. He at once jumped up and waded om neck deep, with his children. Mr. P. O. Har? ris had fifteen bales of cotton floated from his gin house, and barely had time to save his mules and other stock from drowning. The Borne Railroad was washed np in several places, and foi five days no trains could pass. The Selma, Rome and Dalton Road baa been literally washed up for miles, and I learn from General Pennington that In placea where water was never known before that lt was eight feet deep. At Rock man the damage was considerable. The banks of tbe Etowah are so high and the stream ls so rapid that but little damage, li any, was done to farms on ibis river, except near I Rome, and there they wore simply over? flowed by back water, which benefits rather than injures. The Borne Boad bas been re? paired, and trains are now running, and also Irom Rome lo Dalton; but on tbe line towards Selma the damage will not be repaired (or several days. If the Oostenauia had risen as rapidly as the Etowah, the damage to Borne would have been heavy; but as lt ls, there waa but little barm done, except to make an everlasting quantity of mud.
