LATEST FROM WALL STREET:
Narw YORE, September 27.-The dead-lock in
the Gold Exchange Ban* continues, and causes
much embirraasment, and in consequence
there are no transactions at tbs Gold Board.
Several injunctions hare bet ? .ssued restrain?
ing the bank from paying over deposits
and checks, which tend to complicate affairs
and retard settlements. Snits have been com?
menced by attachments against Alexander
Beiden, Alexander McKinley and George W.
Hooker, for secreting property with the inten?
tion to defrauding creditors, ?tc.
Charles Callender, the National Bank exami?
ner, declares that all of the national banks are
Bound and conservatively managed..
The money market became much easier in
the afternoon, and at the close call loans itere

ANOTHER RAILROAD WAR.
Ail Abe Florist* Railroads tm thc Hands
y of a Receiver.
We copy the following from the Jacksonville
Union of Thursday :
Yesterday before Judge Knight, a petition
was flied, in the following snits brought on
Saturday fast, praying for an injunction and
the appointment ot a receiver to take imme?
diate possession of the P. & G.. the F. A., and
G. C., ted the Tallahassee Bailroads. The
snits were brought by the county commission?
ers bf Colombia County against Geo. W. Step?
son, Edward Houston, J tm es D. W escott, and
the Railroad Company, and by James M. Baker
and Wilk Call against George W. Swepson. Mil?
ton 8. LitUefield, Franklin Dibble, Calvin B.
Dibble, John P. Sanndereon, Edward M. Che?
ney, John L. BeQua, Alonso Haling and Wm.
H. Hunt, joint purchasers of the Pensacola
and Georgia, and the Tallahassee Railroads at
the sale by the trustees of the Internal Im?
provement Fun J.
The bills filed tn both cases by the complain?
ants charge the most unprecedented and ag?
gravated frauds upon the private rights ot the
taxpaying people, and noon the public interest
of the State, and allege statements showing
the most skilful and deeply planned coUusrou
and conspiracy on the part of Swepson and his
associates, and of tbe purchasers of the F. A.
and G. C. Railroad in 1868. Judge Knicht
granted the injunction prayed fer in both snits,
bot reserved the appointment of a receiver.
We understand that Mr. Swepson, of North
Carolina, is in possession of both the road*,
and that the other purchasers of tho P. and
G. Railroad have disposed of a con'.ri liing in?
terest in the road to hun. so that virtually Mr.
Swepson is the owner of the whole line of rail?
road from Jacksonville to Quincy and St.
Marks; the purchase of the F. A. and G. C.
Railroad having been secured, as is c.arged,
for lill OOO, against the original cost of about
9119D.OOO, and the P. and G. and Tallahassee
Roads, which cost 53 000,000. for $1.450.000 ot
bonds purchased of Swepeon and Houston at
about thirty per cent, or about 1435,000 and
received by the trastees at pur value. Besides,
more than a million acres of land is granted
to said porcbasers^by the recent obarler.
We do not pretend to elucidito precisely the
facts alleged to have attended thesu sale?; bat
it is charged that $1,000,000 of the bends pur?
chased at about thirty per cent, were turned
over to the trustees at par value, and the re?
maining $460,060, due OD tbe pnrcbaao money,
bas been paid by a mere transfer of receipts
between the purchasers and the ti astees, the
former being constituted tho agents of the
latter to invest that amount, as provided by
law, on the interest of the sinking fund, and
the investment has been so made, it is alleged,
by equally as fraudulent procedure, resalting
in the passing of no money whatever to the
State from the purchasers.
The parp?se of these suits, it is claimed, is
to make a complete exposure of what is
charged to be a wholesale scheme of traud and
corruption attending the Balee of both roads,
and Otosely interwoven with their entire opera?
tions.
J. J. Finley. J. M. Baker, H. Bisbee, Jr., F.
A. Dooray, Wilk Call, K. M. Thompson, and
William M. Ives, appear as counsel in both
ctsee.
Sin oe writing the above we learn that Judge
Knight nas appointed Captain James W. John?
son, of Monticello, receiver, and gran .'ed an
order to take immediate possession of the
roads, and to operate and manage the same.
-The arrival of IS 600 boxes tea at Chicago by
the Pacific Road seems to have created quite a

in adjacent States. The tea is of first class
quality.
THE GREAT GOLD BATTLE.
Fall Detail* or trie Terrible Straggle of
Friday last, between the Kew York
Ball* and tnt: Bears-Frantic Doings
in thc Gold Boom-How the Contest
was Decided-Scenes and Incidents of
the Fray-List or the Wounded-The
Trace on .Saturday, ?fcc.
The Waterloo of the bulle and bears, on Fri?
day last, is fonght over again in the New York
papers. The fight was fought and decided just
as a faro bank fights a conspiracy of its custo?
mers, it was a contest of nerve and confidence
'backed" by long parses. Thc party which
had bought up all the gold within reach, and
pnt up its price, seemed to be victorious. They
displayed their power over all who bad sold I
"short" gold, and were busy making trium?
phant settlements, and contracting for enor
' mons differences, when some of the wealthiest
bankers of the world, whose plans bad been
skilfully laid in concert with their European
correspondents, carno into the market and
offered unlimited amounts of gold at the in?
flated pnceB made by the conspirators.
This daunted the "balls;" they hesi?
tated; and before tbcy could recover their j
calmness the price fell nearly twenty per cent. I
They then made a stroDg rally, but their rein?
forced opponents contested tho ground with
new energy and courage, and, in spite of the
wild fluctuations, it was evident that there was
weakness among the "bulls" which must end
in defeat, lt was at this time that the Treasu?
ry announced the sale of 14,000,000 of gold on
Friday. This announcement doubtless procipi- j
tated their retreat ; but they were essentially
beaten before. Indeed, bad they not been bro?
ken in courage by a private combination, this
movement of the Treasury would have been a
slight thing for them. But in the hesitation
and confusion which the foreign bankers had
already pro Inc*d among them, thia new attack
from the government left them no hope or con-1
fidence ; and they seem to have surrendered at
discretion.
THE SCENES AT THE GOLD EXCHANGE
Throughout the day was interesting to a stu- j
dent of human nature. Hero threats of as?
sassination aro exchanged between men who
bavo always passed tor sober and quiet bank-1
ers; there, two clerks of leading hims engaged
in a band-tO;hand fight, which proves their un- j
regulated temper and very imperfect pugilistic
training. In the gold room itself some of thc I
Oalets lose their wits, and bid insanely f r
amounts 1 ke the national debt, at unknown
premiums, or declaim wildly about tho "air
drawn daggers" that pursue them, lu the J
great bankers' offices supposed millionaires
contradict one another, with violent language,
as to the purport of verbal orders, by which
one or tho other or both must now bo mado
insolvent; while others, fearful of those whom I
their machinations have rained, surround
themselves with armed officers, or drive rapid?
ly away in close carriages. One oveitaxed
brain is consigned to an asylum for the m j
sans; another goes home so oppressed by tho
terror of financial ruin that it choses rather a l
voluntary death.
THE GOLD ROOM, j
Imagine a little tonntaiu in the centre of the
Hippotheatron. The centre of the fountain is J
a bronze Cupid, with a dolphin in tts arm?. I
From tho bead of Cupid arises a tiny silvor
stream, which falls in jets into tbe basin
below. Fancy an iron railing, ninety feet in
circumference, about this basin; then a space
of some twenty feet between tho w?lie and tho
fountain; ?od you have a rough idea of the
Gold Boom. OJ one side there are '.wo galle?
ries -the lower for the errand boys, and the
upper for the spectators. We stood in the
lower gallery. Beyond the fountain, with his
back toward New street, stood the secretary,
recording the sales, which he caught by bia
ear. Near him is the telegraph operator.
Wires ron from his machine to nearly five bun-1
dred brokers'officers, who ?rc thus instantly in?
formed of the state of the market, and arri ena-1
bled to make their bids undisturbed by the fu?
rious exoitemant which rules in the Gold j
Boom on momentous occasions.
OPENING OT THE FIGHT.
We have described tbe Gold Boom. At 10 A. I
M. the board opened, the vice-president in the
chair. Usually the heavy gold operators re?
main in their offices aud b ise their bids, which
they send by messengers, upon the reports re- I
ceived by their office telegraphs. Bat the I
magnitude ot the fight drew most of the me?
ena into the amphitheatre, and they entered
upon the combat with th: ferocity of gladia
i tors. Among the prominent operators in the
arena were Albert Speyer, Henry Clews, Hor?
ace Waldo and his brother. Mr. Colgate, of the
I firm of Trevor & Colgate; Messrs. Kimoerand
I Heiser, and fifty others. The fight opened at
10 A. M., with gold at 150. The bull clique
seemed unusually quiet. A quarter of on hour
pawed, and 150 was still toe ruling figure.
The secretary seemed in no wise overrun with
business, and the telegrapher operator worked
bis machine and conversed glibly with the by- I
Standet 8.
THE GRAND CHARGE OF THE BDLLS.
It was not until ll o'clock that this compara- I
tive monotony was broken ; 150* was bid. The
bears began to wince. " Hell's to pay now I " I
shrieked a gray-haired man apparently burn?
ing over with agony. A hundred fists were
shaken at each other over thc little fountain,
and an infernal serios of yells filled tho room,
l o an outsider it was impossible to distinguish
either a bid or au offer. Tho bulls had now
began their grand charge. They swe^t the
bears before them like chaff. From 150j the
metal suddenly jumped to 155 j. This wau un
firecedentcd. Men beean to rave and alivieu
ike mad dogs. They roeaed about the little
fountain in paroxysms of futy. The spe
oial wonder was that in the anxiety of the
bears to sell and of thc bulls to buy,' so little
regard was paid to the last reported quotation.
Pnce on both sido3 seemed "no object." ?Len
within a few feet ol one another differed widely
in prices, and there wr*ro a dozen different quo?
tations for the metal in as many parts of the
room. Tbe bears gathered in a ero up, and
snapped and snarled in turu. 1 he bulls shout?
ed with joy. Within fifteen minutes tho pre?
mium was forced up to 162?. Tho bears sold
very readily to their own clique at 135. when
tho market rate w.js 1'30. Tnov refused to sell
to the bulis at any price. Much of this traffic
among tho bears might have been "washes,"
ur fictitious sales, reported at lie tires below
i tbe market, aud to keep down tho price; and
muon also of smaller lots than the big specu?
lative blocks which the Dulls were alter.
THE CRISIS.
Tbue stood matters when Albert Speyer, a
leader among tho bulls, threw among thc rav?
ing mob the tonptin? offer of 160. Such a
marvellous bid. coming from a dealer known to
be fully responsible, startled the whole room,
and for a few moments no responso was made.
But before the thunderstruck auditors could
regain tboir equipoise. Jas. Brown, RU equally
well known broker and agent, offered to euopiy
Mr. 8peyer's wants with one, two, three, tour,
and up to five millions. Tho latter amount was
promptly accepted. The prompt acceptance of
this bid, ahile the bearB were selling to their
own crowd at 135 gavo the bulls renewed confi?
dence.
During the two minutos preceding this bid
the market price bad stood at 1624. 162,161,
and 160}. Mr. Speyer's bid was accepted
under great excitement. The bears, though
dismayed, were not panic-stricken. Even in
the face of Mr. Spewer's bid, the premium
dropped to 159. but quickly rallied to 160.
Again it touched 159, aud a third time touched
160.
FI EST HINT FROM WASHINGTON.
This wavering is easily explained. A promi?
nent bull, while wi thia his office watching the
telegrams from tho Gold Boom, received a pri?
vate dispatch from an employee of the Tieasu
ry Department in Washington, informing
bira that Boutwell would positively sell
$4,000 000 to-day. The rumor rea ob ed the
Gold Ro >m just as Messrs. Hallgarten & Co., in
view of Mr. Brown's suooes? in placing so
large-?u amount at so inviting a price cn
the market, had offered a million at the same
price. Some of this was taken up by other
parties but before tho whole was absorbed the
terrible rumor woe circulated throughout the
room. Thia instantly paralysed the bu
such an extent that tbe price fell to 15c
then to 150. Tbe next bid was 48, thc
and flaally 40. Then dismay seized the i
bera present, for tbe decline meant no
less than the ruin of all concerned in the
One of the broker* of the clique askei
broker who offered to sell "what he int?
to do ?" His reply was, "You have been
rug all the time and have got the price
fleure where I propose to commence to se
will sell you any sum under thirl v million
160."
TBS SBATH 8TBCGOLE OF THE BULLS.
The bulls had gone into the fight fully
ptred to take from 110,000,000 to tzO 0OC
So asserts one of their clique. They hat
taken $7.000 000 when they beard ot Seen
Bout well's action. Tbs rapidity of the n
mente and the magnetic influence of the
Room was too muoh for them. Their fa
became giddy, and in a twinkling they
control of the market. The $4,000 000 tl
of Bontweirs was but a fleabite, but they
fearful that hie movement was a preconec
one, and that $20,000.000 would be thrown i
tbem, if necessary, to crush the market
wa 8 not until the rate grounded at 140
they rallied. It was nearly noon. Gold a
began to mount the stairs. It sprang fron
to 160 at a single jump. The bears acte
if a flash of lightning had passed through
room. Bedlam again broke loose. The r
was filled with sh ricks and corses. In ano
jump the metal struck 160. At this pt
Duncan, Sherman A Co. let the balle ha
large amount, and they took it in seeming
Aden ce.
THE WATXBLOO.
Again came tbe Washington rumor, and
time, it was said, direct from the Special Tr
ury agent in this city. It was asserted
Grant bad ordered Bootwell to sell the a
and that he would order bim to sell $50,000
if necessary. AW?V went the market in ano!
grand crash, and never recovered anti
touched 133. In the street it went lower,
bulls were ruined. Men wero midder
Speyers grew crazy. His eyes seemed fixei
despair. He spoke to his friends in a hu
voice, and rushed about tho little fountain
if in terror. At length he raised his band, ;
shouted hoarsely to tho heated, struggl
mass below him. This extraordinary spot
cle nearly silenced tbe operators. In a
words Speyers accused some unknown pen
of an attempt to assassinate bim. '*H<
after me now with a big knife." shrieked ',
Speyers. "Look, look I " ho continued, "dc
yon see the knife? " A* it WSB evident he t
ctazed, he was plaoed in a carriage by
friends and sen- home. Mr. Speyers was :
tho only one made momentarily crazy. One
the members of tbo board informed I
reporter that nuder the undue excitement
felt his mind giving way, a id tooK a Mad;.'
avenue stage up Broadway as far ae (Jan
street, to recover bis balance.
THE NEWS ON THE STELLT.
As the news spread tim t gold bad fallen
130. thoro was a rush ot excited men throui
Wall.?treot bevond all precedent. Men w<
living back and forth in all d.roctions, sot
for the Gold Room, others to tho different ?J
oes, in a btato of excitement bordering np
frenzy. Ii: this ru.-u they would run again
each other, knock off cacti other's hats, jun
over car's, and did not apocar to heed ar
thing. It was a stampede which beat tho 1
moos Bull Run rout. Somo wcro anxious
ascertain whetber tho report was true or nc
others were rushing to carry tho news to Inc
Arms. It would soom that all the banner* ai
brokers in Wall and ?road streets wcro onga
ed in afoot race, and not particular wbich w,
they ran, :*r who they kaooked over in thc
flight, lt was cvory maa for himself and tl
devil far the hindmost. Any number .of exe
ted individuals found themselves sprawling
thc streets or on the sidewalks as the resu
ot the collision. Business was virtually sn
pended in the cotton, sngar and wool market
the merchants all going down to New street i
see the scenes.
TIU BULLS BOUTED.
The cry went ap: "Gold has fallen to 130; tl
bubble bas buist V Can it bo true beard wt
in every direction. Thc moment that it wt
confirmed a ?hoot of relief followed, and cia
ping ol hands and cheerlul countenances wor
seen in every direction. Tho sympathy c
nine-tenths of those in the street was a gai nt
t be gold clique,and the expression of relief mai
ifested was universal. The bulls in gold, whe
they saw that they were bc: sn at their game
beat a hasty retreat, leaving the bears all t
themselves. They remained on the scene lor.
enough to pick up what gold could be found i
tbe low prices to cover their shorts, and to dc
mand of the bull clique tho price which the;
had sold to then at. But when they presen1
ed themselves at the places of business of tb
bull clique, with gold in band for deliver;
the\found the doors nearly all closed. Iii
defeat of the balls has been worse than a re
volt; it has been a stampede and almost anni
bdation. Numerous balls are not only w june'
cd bat laid ap ia the hospitals, where the mot
skilful treatment will be required for their re
lief, and it is more thin probable that a norn
ber will be permanently disabled.
TEX TELEGRAPH EXHAUSTED.
During the culminating operations, thu goli
indicator was kept in so rapid use to record ih
fluctuati e-ns, as tbe price of the precious mete
jumped from 130 to 160 and back again, tint i
became heated and tao wire commenced t
burn.
HOW SOME WEBE DUPED.
The bulls refused at first to give np, bu
some of the managers were soon so badly dis
ablod that they lett mo scene limping; tboi
dupes remained and continued to bid the prie
up to 160. every time tint it was auuouncct
below 140, tor several minutes, lt piled oi
them so fist that they, seeing themselves de
setted by their leaders, vere compelled ti
leave, but rot until they had ruined thom
selves by being the dupes of the cliques. I
subsequently appeared that these dupes hat
beeu bidding gold up to these high price:
and agreeing to tako all that was offered, ot
mere verbal orders from the managers ufihi
clique, without having either margins or ih<
principal putup to pay for the same. The rcsul
was, tbat the managers, when they found tha
they were beaten, repudiated the orders, anc
left I heir dupes to bear the load tho best the\
could. They have thus boen compelled u
shut up shop, and in many instances will bc
obliged to go into a financial quarantine. Thc
mauagers, Fisk, Gould & Woodward, thomee
who havo boen ut the bottom of this move?
ment, have tbus, in a measure, escaped some
of tho IJSSSS and a part of tho disaster by re?
pudiating tbeu* verbal orders, but havo' lefi
their dupes, in many instance-*, permanently
disabled. Tbe havoc among thu uulls has thus
been fearful, not so much in tho number as it
is the enormous character ol' tho wounds that
have been inflicted.
EXPERIENCE OF A FOBLORN HOPE.
During the excitement, Mr. Speyers announc?
ed that " he had received an anonymous note
coulaining a threat to shoot him ; nut he would
now offer 160 tor one or live millions of gold
let thu man who wants to shoot COUIJ on if he
dares." I bree minutes later he was retreating
from the room, completely annihilated, and re?
turned to bis office, whore he hal to niiut. bis
doors aajd reluso to tsko the gold which bo had
bought. Ho subsequently made a statement
in thc board that his bid was maa > ou verbal
orders nf James Fisk, Jr., and that those of
thc day previous were mode upon orders ut Mr.
Beiden, and th At his inability to ?uako his con?
tracts good arose from the fact that ueilhr-rof
those parties had given him any margin.
Thisjcircumstanco gives SB good an idea as auv
thitic what there was in this gold bubble. It
shows that a few inca have boen bidding up
thc prices without haviDg fonds to do it with,
lt has been a fictitious (nmg, trading without
capital, and by a bold and desperate movement
it has frightened the street, aud set (hem into
selling stocks and buying gold at high prices.
A more desperate, disgraceful and diabolical
scheme was never before set on foot. AU who
saw through it know very well that its Buecess
would be of short duration, and that when thc
crash carno it would be followed by a feailul
tumble. The best firms in tha street kept aloof
from the bubble, protected themselves, and
waited for the Btot m to pass over. The result
is that most of the large furn- remain intact
and are in just as good condition as before to
proceed with business.
LIST OP THE WOUNDED.
Among the firms which closed their doors
after this conflict are those of Smith, Gould,
Martin & Co., Wm. Heath & Co., Albert Spey?
ers & Co.. Chase, McClure & Co., Galway Hun?
ter & Co., P. fl. Williams. Jr., & Co., Pearl ?
Co.. S. M. Waller, E. E. Willard, Wm. Beiden
A Co.. F. Grimbernat & Co., Underhill & Ha?
ven, Doming ? Boocock. Some ot these will
in all probability prove permanent failures,
especially those who gave bids on verbal or?
ders of tho managers.
A CURIOUS INCIDENT.
Ae one of the incidents of the day. we met a
gentleman from the country, who came to the
city to sell $1200 io gold, which ho had io bis
pocket. He went to all the firms which are in
the habit of purchasing gold over their coun?
ters, and was elated over the price which ho
expected to get. Bnt to bis surprise he could
not find any party willing to purchase, and was
unable to get even five cents offered for $1200
in gold. This shows the ficti ions motives or
the balls, and how well the scheme was under?
stood by dealers. Being satisfied that the bub?
ble would break disastrously, and uuablo to
tell what gold was really worth or how much it
would be safe for them to give, therefore re?
fused to purchase at any price.
THE TBUOE OX SATCBDAY.
Ihe Evening Post of Saturday says :
SJThere is much excitement in Wall street
today, but it is not so great as jes
terday. A truce bas been proclaimed, and
the result of yesterday's engagement will
not be known until Monday, when the ac?
counts of the Gold Exchange Bank will
be made np. Yesterday it was said that the
operators on the street would be able to take
all the gold the government mignt place on
the market, but to-day strong efforts have been
made to induce the government not to sell the
four millions advertised. The result of the
struggle may bo divined from the fact that the
only failures thus far announced are among
the mon who conspired to advance gold.
CURRENT NOTES.
-It has beeu calculated that, in actual waste
of tissue, one hour of mental labor is equiva?
lent to four hours of ?hysical exertion. By
this method of computation it is evident that
if the Harvard oarsmen had ci ven their whole
minds to their work thoy would only have been
beateu by a second and a half. A more im?
portant application of the principle, however,
is that if the eight'hour movement succeeds,
bra in-workers, such as journalists for example,
will have a logical claim to call two hours a
day's woik.
-A French physiologist has been experi?
menting with tbeine and caffeine (the active
principles of tea and coffee.) upon animals,
and affords us tho pleasing information that
tho latter is twice as poisonous as the former;
but that, to compensate for its inferior viru?
lence, th?ine prodU:CB "convulsivo movements
in the limbs" which are not observed from the
action of caffeine; so that we must either con?
fine ourselves t J half cups of coffee or run the
risk of uecomiDg spadmodic. Ihe comforting
assurance is given, however, that doses of
many grummet) may be taken by mau with im?
punity.
-English women ?oem disposed to show that
they eau do some things as well as men. At
the recet.t annual dinner of thc Badminton
Farmers' Club, Hie Duchess of Beaufort took
fae chair, thc Dnko, ker husband, the president
of tho dub, who ehould have presided, having
b.en callod away by important business. Tbe
Doblo chairwoman announced tho usual toasts
in thc proper mmner, and replie 1 to tho drink"
mr of linr. own health with a brief but pointed
little speech. Her young daughter, thc Lady
Ulaoobe Somerset, also responded to the toast
of tho younger branches of tho family. A
?umber ot other ladies were present at the
dinner, and, it is conceded, rendered Hie pro?
ceedings not ono whit less lively.
-It would bc a good thing for men and wo.
meo were they taught, in childhood, to use
their left hands equally with their right. The
use of the right h ind only for certain actions
suth as writing and working with mccbanioal
tools-is entirely convectional, and lhere does
not appear to be any reason why people should
not bo ambidexter in every kind of manual
wort. PeiBons who have lost their right hr.nd~
by accident frequently acquire great facility
with the left, after some practice, but grownup
persons have not always the patienoe to betake
themselves to the necessary practice. By
children, ibo thing would be acquired insensi?
bly, if means were taken to load them to the
practico of it. Children living in houses where
two languages aro spoken acquire both with
great facility, and what is true of tongues
would be equally so of bands.
-It is announced thai a literary undertak?
ing of vast extent has bean projected by a so?
ciety of savana in Paris, having for its object
tbe reproduction of all the masterpieces of lit?
erature which bave appeared in ancient aud
modern times. The title of the work is the
"Biblioth?que Intornationalo TJjiverselle," and
it is to consist of two hundred volumes in large
octavo, to be issued at the race of two volumes
each month, at an unpreccdently low price to
subscribers. Tho works reprinted aro to be in
tbe best French translations, aud arc to appear
on a prescribed plau in order to show how
primitive ideas have been devolopcd into or?
ganized forms, and how these have uudcrgonc
transformatio s nod produced reactions upon
spheres beyond their own. The French gov?
ernment has recognized the importance of tue
work, and has approved ila publication, and
many eminent men have pro nisei their co
opt ration.
-A corrtrt.o idcnt writes to the New Yoik
Tribune to say that hid experience has proved
that tho southern portion ot the elevated re?
gion lying between thc Allogbaniee and thc
Blue liiere, together with the contiuuous slope
in northwestern South Carolina and io north?
east? ru Georgia, is r>nc ol tbe most hcalfhlul
regious in thc world, and that it is eminently
conducive to recovery from pulmonary dis?
eases-especially from consumption. A case
of coniumption was never known to originate
in the Couuty of Buncombe, whieh contains
over 12,000 inhabitants, and thc death rate of
thia region from ali disca-icB is loss than bait
of the average lor thc United States. Thc
summers aro mild, und the winters arc never
severe; the water is soft and abundant, and tho
air puro and exhilarating, ttl3Vil!ey being 2550
feet above the level of tho sea. Tho scenery is
grand and beautiful, and gamo of every do
senption from qa til to deer is abundant.
-Our charming friends in New York, who
havo undertaken to set tho female world to
rights, tire fiudtng that tho undertaking docs
not "run smooth." Indeed, somo o" tl.cm
seem to need a little mnootbinrr down them?
selves. At.a meeting of thc Wjikitig Worn in's
Association, last week, Mrs, Norton not only
pronounced Ihe socio^y ataili.ro, but, spearing
at Miss Anthony, declared it lo bo "the height
of unwisdom" to permit a ay person to boll
ofH?c who has a pap jr (tb"? l?ovolution) to ad?
vertise, and whose success depends upon being
extensively known. ' Ba ossured," said Ihe
shrewd and spinled Mrs. Norton1, "tho associa?
tion, instead of being served by her, will bc
made to serve her." But Ibis was not all nor
tho worst by a great deal. An inquiry being
mado of what bad become of certain money
known ne tho Hester Vjugen fund, Mrs. Nor?
ton replied that it bad been voled away "know?
ingly and dishonestly by Miss Anthony, ' ad?
ding, "tho bas strange ideas about money
matters. She tbiuks it is quite honest to use
any money that comee into her hands." Mrs.
Sheppard defended Miss Anthony, and eaid
that she was opposed to "back-stabbing."
We hope Mr. Greeley will look io upon these
Bisters, and remind them of the beauty of
peace and charity.

LORD BYRON'S LAST MOMENTS.
Hil Valet** Account
It ie interesting, saya tue Pall Mall Gazette,
of September 9, at tbe present time to recall
the account elven of the last moments of Lord
Byron by his servant Pletchor. Fletcher says:
Although his Lordship did cot appear to
think his dissolution was 'so neo/, I could per?
ceive he was getting weaker every hour, and
he even bogan to have occasional fits of deli?
rium. He afterwards said, "I now begin to
think I am seriously ill ; and in case I should
be taken off suddenly, I wish to give you sever?
al directions, which I hope you will be particu?
lar in seeing executed." 1 answered I would,
in case such an event came to pass, but ex?
pressed a hope that he would live many years
to execute them much better himself than I
could. To this my master replied: "No, it is
now nearly over;"and then adde.: "I must
tell yon all without losing a moment." I then
said, "Shall I go, my Lord, and fetob pen, ink
and paper?' "Oh, my God I DO; you will los9
too much time, and I have it Dot to spare, for
my time is DOW short," said his Lordship;
and immediately after: "Now, pay attention."
His Lordship commenced by say inp: "You
will be provided for." I begged him, however,
to proceed with things of more consequence.
He then continued: "Oh, my poor dear child!
My dear Adah 1 My God 1 oould I but have
seen her 1 Give ber my blessing-and my
dear sister Augusta and her children; and you
will go to Ltdy Byron and say-tell her everv
thing; you oro f.iends with ber." His Lord?
ship appeared to be greatly affected at this
moment. Here my master's voice failed bim,
so that I could only catch a word at intervals;
but be kept muttering something very seri?
ously tor some time, and wonld often raise
kis voice and say, "Fletcher, now if you
do not execute every order which I have
given yon, I will tormontyou hereafter, if pos?
sible." Here I told bis Lordship, in a state of
the greatest perplexity, that I had not under-1
stood a word of what he had said; to which he '
replied, "Oh, tay God I then allis lost, for it ia
now too late I Can it be possible you have Dot
understood me?" "No, mv lord," said*I;
"but I pray you to try and inform me once
moro." ' How can I ? " rejoined my master ;
"it is now too late, and all is over." 1 said,
"Not our will, but God's be done ;" and he an?
swered, "Yes, not mine be dono, but I will
try." His lordship did indeed make several
effortp to speak, but could only repeat two or
throe words at a time, such as "My wire I my
child I mv sistoi I you know all-you must say
all-you know my wishes." The rest was quite
unintelligible.
Lord Bvron shortly afterward fell into a
lethargy, which onded by death-bis last in?
telligible words boing, "I must sleep DOW."
The following extract from "Modwin's Conver
silion8 of Lord Byron," will probably interest
Mr?. Beecher Stowe. Speaking of Americans,
his Lordship said
Americans aro thc only people to whom I
never refused to show myself. The Yankees
arc great friends of mi io. " I wish to bo well
thought of in the other Bide ot the Atlantic;
not that I am better appreciated there than on
thia; perhaps worse. Somo Amoricau roviower
bas been persevering in bis abuse and person?
ality, bnt be shou'd have minded his lodger;
be ?ever excited my spleen.

?-A CARD-SOUTHERN LIFE INSUR?
ANCE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPARTMENT.
To the People of South Carolina:
The above Company was organ zed In 1866, in
consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern
policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled
success of the enterprise has forced several of these
companies lo restore their Southern policies, irom
the fact that they could not operate in our midst
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all onr money at home to build up onr
Impoverished country-every dollar of premium
being safely Invested in the State from which it ls de?
rived. The institution is purely Southern, and nonce
should appeal with great force to the patriotism and
and sympathy of every Southern heart. .
'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com?
panies, but io exhibit th? special advantages offered
by this purely Southern Company-founded on
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to
liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-ls
second to none on this continent, being nearly $300
to $100.
Wuenever and wherever wo have presented the
claims of thia Company, it baa not only eultsfed the
sympathies of our people, hut bas also secured their
hearty co-operation. Wc have secured COO policies
in South Carolina slnco the 10th of February. We
number among our Directors General Wade Hamp?
ton and Colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well
known io every citizen of South Carolina. We ap?
