AN INTRUDER.-John McDonald,

in 1864, and "thought he swallowed

a four-inch lizard. He coughed np

other day. Mr. McDonald's health
! lins been for some time running
down, but is now improving.
[Ecch'tiiije.
If all of Sherman's men could bo
relieved of the articles swallowod or
otherwise appropriated by them in
Georgia, there would be an improve?
ment in tho condition of many of tho
people of this State. But we sup- I
pose that Mr. John McDonald's lizard
was the only thing that gave any of i
them subsequent uneasiness. Hope
he feels better, and that he will hete
i after let Georgia live stock alone.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY.-We are
grievod to learn that, Monday last,
two of thc sons of Mr. Thomas S.
Behn, of Beaufort District, were
drowned in Hazzard's Creek, near its
confluence with Broad River. It ap?
pears that, in company with a younger
brother and a negro boy, they
had started from the shore in a small
boat, on a fishing excursion, and, by
some mismanagement, were capsized,
and the catastrophe ooonrrod before
assistance oould bo rendered. Tho
victims were bright, intelligent lads,
aged respectively twelve and fourteen
years. - Charleston Cour irr.
Ge?. Sheridan has issued an order
organizing a military court to try a
plantation overseer, named Walker,
ou a charge of having killed a negro,
and snob other cases as may como
before it. The sessions of tho court
will be held in New Orleans. This is
the first iustnnco of the exercise of
the authority conferred upon the

law, which declares that they shall
have power to organizo military com?
missions or tribunals for thc trial of

SCOTCH FARM HANDS.-Mr. Leslie.
Marmaduke, of Saline County, last

hos been so successful that Mr. Mar?
maduke proposes to mako a second
voyage, for tho purpose of bringing
over un additional instalment of la?
borers. This ii a practical way of
doing business, and will, no doubt,
be found advantageous to employer
and employed.-.SV. Louis Republican.
Two Paris correspondents of Lon?

letters had both beon opened on their
passage, nnd finding that nothing
very objectionable was contained in
them, thoy were allowed to proceed,
but ".ero accidentally inserted in the

To J?ortlicrr? Capitalists.
Mr. Prime, the editor of the Jour?
nal of Commerce, makes tho follow?
ing suggestions to Northern capital?
ists. Ho has recently been on a
visit to tho South, and is writing a
series of "editorial notes" on her re?
sources and needs:
There was never offered to capi?
talists n more promising field of in?
vestment. It needs only a visit to
convince them of this, ffnd they will
bo welcomed with the utmost cordi?
ality, whether they como as visitors
or as residents. It matters nothing
what is tho political faith of tho
Northern man; radical or conserva?
tive, ho will bo welcomed aud well
received. The published statements
to tho contrary of this ore absolutely
untrue. If a Northern rowdy gets
drunk in a Southern hotel, becomes
riotous and receives deserved punish?
ment, it is generally published in
the North as an instance of South?
ern ill-treatment of Northern travel?
ers. All classes of tho people, old
and young, aro impressed with the
conviction that they need Northern
visitors and settlers among them.
Wo have seen, in several instances,
groups of Northern travelers, cou- |
versing iu hotels with Southern men,
where, iu the course of the conversa?
tion, it appeared that some of them
had been soldiers on opposito sides
in tho same battles, and the course
of tho battles formed at once tho
subject of animated and interested
conversation, but iu no instance was
thero tho slightest insult, ill-feeling,
or passion displayed. Wo havo scon
similar conversations between civi?
lians where the subject was tho loss
of near and dear relatives ou oppo?
sito sides of tho contest. In short,
the war has already assumed in thc
minds of men a sort of historic
aspect, its results aro accepted as
conclusive, aud no one dreams of
ever again opening the questions in?
volved.
Ono of the best societies which
could bc formed uow would be a
benevolent society to promoto in?
tercourse between tho two sections.
It is uot the expeditious of political
speakers which will do good. It is
tho visit to tho South of honest men
who have no political cuds to serve
which should bo encouraged.
Wc speak of tho openings for capi?
tal. These openings aro of two
classes; tho first in tho way of io?.U3
of money, tho second in tho way of
purchases of property. Thero is, of
course,, apprehensions on the part
of Northern men that the values of
Southern securities may be over?
estimated. But we aro pursuaded
that there can hardly bo a lower
depth than has now been reached.
! Certainly it is impossible that tho
real estate of tho South can ever be
worth less than it is now offered at.
There aro no better securities iu the
world than are now proposed in
bonds and mortgages on Southern
real estate. Tho margins are ample
on the present low valuations, while
they are from four-fifths ta nine
teuths of the value of tho property
eight years ago. We have seen im?
proved property of the best class,
which was salable before the war at
800,000 offered now for 815,000, and
a loan asked on it of 88,000, without
a taker. Wo have seen plantations
formerly worth ten dollars an acre,
including cleared, swamp and timber
land, uow offered urgently nt 81.25
an acre, without finding a pur?
chaser. Thc general depression is
so great that men are anxious only
for a little money on which to en?
deavor to make a new start from
the beginning. They regard their
present ruiu as absolute.
The question for capitalists is of
course simply, whether the futuro
promises a better state of things
and higher values. It is impossible
to look over tho rich lands of the
South and doubt that they will again
hereafter as heretofore produce
wealth, and sustain commercial and
political power. The world wants
their produce, and tho world will
havo it. If last year's crop had not
proved to so many a failuro, this
year would havo done much to in?
crease values und arouse industry. I
Thc National Republican, tho Pre?
sident's organ, says, as to Mr. Davis,
that it "is quite time that something
was done with him. Ho has been for
two years in Fortress Monroe inclose
confinement; and on every principle
of justice, as well as that constitu?
tional guarantee which assures to
ovcry person a speedy trial, this man
ought either to be released or put
upon trial."
Mr. Thomas W. Conway, who is on
a mission to tho South, writes from
Haleigh that "tho Republican party
in tho South is fast becoming a power
of acknowledged influence and re?
spectability. I have already addressed
ten immense audiences, in various
places, and blacksand whites mingled
harmoniously. I have not been dis?
turbed in any case."
Au ex-Federal officer, who employs
fifty negroes on his plantation, near
Selma, called them togothcr a day or
two before tho rn'1-*"! meeting in
that city, somo days ago, and repre?
sented matters to them in such a
light, that they declined attending
the meeting, but wont contentedly
to their daily task of making corn and
j cotton.
It is proposed to make tho Brokors'
Board a round table, so that nobody
