TH ii TRIBUNE PHILOSOPHER IN TEXAS,'
-?We have . lang regarded Mr. Horace
Greeley a poor philosopher, bat a kind?
hearted man-sincero, though not uh
> frequently mistaken ia his oonviotiona.
Certain jit is, ho wovor, that.be ha? wiold
: ed and still wields considerable influence
opon the Radical party of the North
through the Tribune. He ia now ou a
visit to Texas-the Empire Stato of tho
South-to deliver tho annual addr?ss at
the Texas Stato Fair at Houston. ' We
regard it a good move on tho part of tho
association to bavo thus .selected "the
philosopher of tho Tribune." Ho will
BOO for himself tho. condition of tba
South, and judge for himself of the tem?
per-of the Southern people. He will
find bis mind disabused of many preju?
dices and false impressions. Ho will, of
course, find himself treated ; with cour?
tesy. He will probably bavo delightful
impressions of Texas aad tho Texans.
He-one of the most' prominent Radi?
cals qt 'tile: North-will return to bis.

EDITOR PBCENIX:- In the Union, ot
this (Mou day) morai eg, tho editor says;
"We7defy '.the \ Intelligencer^ cir any
otuorjouroaHn tbe.State to. point-putia
siugle iuatau?b whore wo hqvapubhahed
tho boourrenoe ol jin outrsgo that baa
not happened." . *
Thia writer ia not a journal, though
Once numbered among tho journalistic
fraternity; but be cab, ? nevortbelcae,
poiut out one iuatanoo in which the ?edi?
tor df tho Union published au outrage
mat ?eV?F happened; and another in
Btanqe!in which ho denied the existence
of an outrage, which waa, at tba timo of
bis denial, in courao of propetratiou
right hero under his own observation.
Probably this:-veracious gontlemati
may romembcr publishing last winter,
an account of tho murder of Wiley Dru-,
per, near Cross Keys, iu Uuion conuty,
by the horrid Ku Klux. Thia wu?, ac?
cording tc the Union's definition, asensa
(ional report. A fow days after tho publi?
cation of this report, hu wns called upon
by a gentleman of undoubted veracity,
who assured bim that it was i fabrica?
tion, and requested bim to correct it.
Instead of doing Ibis simple net of jus?
tice, he came out in bis next issue with n
reiteration of the false assertion, that
Wiley Draper bad boen murdered. '
In tba other ease, thu Union editor
undertook to correct what bo oiled
some misrepresentations of the Raleigh,
North Carolina, Sentinel, in 'rofprebco to
tho arrest and incarceration of several
citizens of Laurens, for alleged com?
plicity in certain murders committed in
that County a day or two after tho elec?
tion, last fall. lu that correction, bo
denied that tba writ of /tabeas corpus had
been disregarded in tho easo of those
prisoners, und wound up by saying that
the prisoners bad'been liberated; wbon
it.was a notorious fact, that, ibo-great
Writ bad been disregarded iii their case,
and every body in Columbia, except this
wide-awake, truth-loving editor, knew
that the prisoners were then in jail,
right bore in this city, and wcro so held,
in durance vile, for sevoral days after his
assertion that they had been set at liberty.
Now, Mr. Editor, as the presiding
genius of the Union plumes himself on
his industrious endeavors in obtaining
and publishing'tho nows,' it is presum?
able'that'hu would not feel compliment?
ed should-we charge bim with ignorance
lu the cases'referred to. To what shall
we charge bis app'erent tergiversations?
Is it moral oil.quity?' Surely not. Sure?
ly one who is so full of expressions mani?
festing a desiro-to do full justice to every
one, would pot wilfully pursue such an
unfair course, i Be this aa it may, Wiley
Draper still lives to attest that the Union
published one outrage that never hap?
pened; and the legal records iu tho case,
and the columns of that paper, attest
tbat he <fenleaf tho' occurrence of one,
while it was still in cxistenco. As tho
defiance wan given .foe a "singlo in?
stance," and we have given two in?
stances, one of thc precise nature called
for, and the other of the same nature,
"with a ?light Variation," we desist for
the present. ARGUS. 1
A PEN PICTCBE OP PRESIDENT DAVIS.
Tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel fur?
nishes, the following pen picture of Pre?
sident Jefferson Dav fa. as be appears to?
day:
The central figure, of thc group is a
tall but thin man, straight as un arrow,
and with moro the port and bearing of a
soldier than u statesman, though bis
manners aro moat winuing and graceful,
and every comer is immediately put at
bia ease. , A handsomely slurped head,
covered with thick iron gray hair (strange
this is, for few men in America sport na?
tural bair after fifty). The face is thin
and narrow, and the cheeks aro sunken
somewhat,, but tho forehead is high and
intellectual, and the nose, slightly aqui?
line, is delicately chiseled. Tho bps,
drawn rather cloaely together, don?te
tba extraordinary firmness and resolu?
tion _ charuot cristie of tho man. The
chin is covered with beard, and in addi?
tion to a goatee, be bas allowed beard to
grow upon his cheeks, and a olosely
trimmed moustache is sported upon the
upper lip. The board is like the huir
"a sable streaked with silver." The
bands are narrow and symmetrical, and
.tbs fingers tapering and aristocratic.
His whole appearance donotes the high?
est nervous organization, combined with
a wonderful quantity of brain-power.
Always unostentatious in his attire, Mr.
Davis wore last night a neat but unpre?
tending suit of gray, tho color remind?
ing one of tho cloth worn by tho soldiers
of tho "Lost Causo."
A SKILI?PUIJ SUIIOIOAII OPERATION.-A
very skillful and successful surgical
operation, tbat of tho transfusion of
blood from a lamb to a btimau body,
wus performed in this city on last Fri?
day afternoon by Drs. J. F. King and J.
E. Wiuants. The subject was a colored
man, an inmate of the City Hospital,
who bas be Qu suffering for some time
past and who has lately seemed in danger
of death from mere exhaustion. When
laid upon the table he was too weak to
talk, and appeared to have' but a few
boura of lifo lqft to bim. When his vein
*waa opened but one drop of blood fell
from it. Tho Carotid artery of tho lamb
was'opened and tho blood was forced
from thence, by tho palpitation of thu
animal's heart, through n small glass
tube, into tho patient'scopbalio vein. lu
thia way, about eight ounces of blood was
convoyed from tho iumb -to the man.
Tho operation wnaentiroly satisfactory in
its results, and tho patient is now doiug
very well. This is, we boliovo, tho first
operation of the kind ever performed in
.this oity, and wo aro not sure that it bas
over before boen attempted in tho Stato.
It was a dolicate one, and will bo woll
worthy of a full report in some of tho
surgical journals of tho day,

A STRICKEN CITY.-The New York He?
rald's ^ Montevideo correspondent write?
as follows, ol the ravages of yellow fever
in Bile noa Ayres: . .- ,
' ' ' ' Fa nr iii cs are broken np abd scattered ;
husbands; abandon their dying .wives;
mothersl?avo their children tb die alone,
and in some oases entire families are
swopt away. As many , as" five or nix
corpses have beeb discovered in a single
house, and there.?B a lack of laborers to
porform the duties of removal and se
pulturo of the dead. There is also, as
might naturally be supposed, a scarcity
o". pbysioiuns and nurses to 11 end th ;
sick in the various hospitals, and where
almost every inhabited bouse is a mi?
niature hospital in. itself, th/; extent
of tho suffering must bu indeed dread?
ful. Several of thu must eminent
physicians of Montevideo volunteered
to tho succor of tho stricken Buenos
Ayrcuns, and have labored with a zeal in
tbo faco ol nu imminent and terrible
death that stamps them us heroes aud
philanthropists second* to none iu thc
world's history. Bich and poor arc alike
stricken with the malady, uud it is doubt?
ful whether yellow fever ever before,.nt
least in tho New World, held Hitch ti
ghastly carnival among mankind.
"A now cemetery to receive thc fever
victims bas been opened in tho campo
South of the city, toward tho Riaohulen,
tho old pantheons being inadequate, A
tram railroad has also been laid from the
city to this new necropolis, and tho bo?
dies aro carried out on the trucks like
so much packed freight.' There is no
time to construct collins or burial cases.
The stock on, band was long since ex?
hausted, and the undertakers bavo in
some instances fled from the terrible har?
vest of business that has sprung up.
, "About 150,000 persons have fled.'tbe
-Ciiy.-soirie biking refuge in Montevideo
and tho towns up tho river Barana, hut
by far the larger portion aro iu the
campo, within a distance of from ten to
fifty miles from Bueuos Ayres, i'ea
sauts and gauchos living in miserable
mud-walled buts, with straw roofs, bavo
been besieged'with importunate tenants
from among the wealth, and aristocracy
of the republio, and, in scores of case?,
aro receiving as much as $230 to $500
per month rent for their squalid abodes.
Familios wbo lived in superb style two
months ago are now cowering among tho
buts on tho plains and sleeping on beds
laid upon the floor or earth."
HELD HER BREATH FOEVER-The
Alexandria (Va.) Gazette mentions thu
novel suicide of a little girl twenty-one
months of age, tho child of Mr. Wm.
Deavers, about niue miles below Alexan?
dria, on the Poh?ck road.- Tho child
held her breath while in a pct, as chil?
dren frequently do, and died, although
she was perfectly well before tho crying
fit. Au effectual way to prevent un?
fortunate results of this kind is to throw
cold water-in the. face of tho child us
soon as it'begins to hold its breath.
Tho shock of .the water will make it
gnni;, und necessarily force it to take
breath, as well as divert attention from
thc fit of auger.
-The Radical negroes of Henderson
mobbed the Democratic negroes who
lately voted, in tho municipal ?lectiou.
On last Saturday night tho "trooly loil"

ing to the latter, and severely wounded
two of them. Here is a case for Mr. U.
S. Commissioner Shailer and bis Ku
Klux hunters.-Battleboro Advance.
A man recently died in Indiana from
u wound received at tho battle of
Queenstown, Canada, in 1812. Au
once mnsket baril which had remained
imbedded, in the bones of bis face over
fifty-eight years, ulcerated its way into
bis mouth and was spit out. From this
cause inflammation arose, which, extend?
ing, termihatod fatally.
Joseph Singleton, a laborer, died sud?
denly in Beaufort on Friday lust. He
bud drank an immoderate quantity of
water au hour previous to bis death, aud
had beoome heatod by his work, and
congestion of the stomach bad followed,
resulting in inflammation, cramp and
deatb.
lu July, 1872, tho grand explosion,
which is to remore the obstructions at
Hell Gate, New York, is to tako placo.
After that event, vessels from Europe,

Ft?tE AT WuiTPiTTAiaj.-Sunday m or ti?
ing lout, tho Btoro ?if J. Stern & Co.,
located ab vWhitehall, on tho Savaunnh
and Charl eaton Railroad, with its con?
tents, Was totally destroyed. The con?
flagrution was the work of "an incendia?
ry, without question. The occupants
did not retire until after % A. M. Sun-1
day morning, and at that hour all was
safe. The loss on tho store and con?
tents is not far from 810,000, which, we
learn*was insured.
There was a fire on Tuesday night last
at tho store of Messrs. Bourke & 'Pilton.
Georgetown. Datango of stock and
building slight, and covered by insur?
ance; but about 81,000 in greenbacks,
contained in a tin box, was so burnt by
the beating of the box as to render it
almost, if not entirely, impossible to
distinguish the denomination of some of
the bills, while others aro entirely de?
stroyed. Tba fire is supposed to have
been the result of accident.
STRANGE MAIL.-Tho Wheeling Intclli
gmcer was shown nt tho post ellice, ou
Wednesday last, a mail-box of bees, that
wore ou their way from Illinois to Chris?
tian shu rg, Vu. They wcro of some rare
species, and seemed to bo doing well, not
a dead ouo being visible. A short time
ago a "horned toad" passed through the
office, bailing from San Francisco and
bound fo** Washington, und a lizard ?ls?i
lately performed tho same journey.
Tho largest shark of the seasou was
captured off Atlantic wharf, Charleston,
Saturday afternoon, about 3 o'clock. Ho
measured eleven feet two inches. Upou
au anatomical investigation, tho vora?
cious monster was found to co?tait)
several lurgc king crabs, numerous
pieces of bone and a mass of dark hair,
pronounced to bu that of a human
being.
SPANISH GUN-BOATS -Five of these

Justice Moses.
In an action to try tho title to rec
estute, the plaintiff can only recover b
tho force of bis title, and if this is dr
fective in any material link of his wbol
chain be mast fail. Title ' tot real est?t
can only bo transferred by deed fror
him who is vested with the tee. It nia
bo directly from himself or .through a
authorized attorney on bis behalf. . ]
must, however, in either.form, be by hi
act
It is not necessary that the form:
mode usually employed when an ager
signs an instrument by virtue of tho ot
thority of his principal, should be pu:
sued. If the fact appear on the fuoo <
it, or from- a proper construction of a
its paris, that will bo sufficient.
Tho execution and delivery of a dec
must be iu the name of tho principa
and if it bo tho execution of the agei
only, it is void as to the principal.

tho freshest aud most valuable informa?
tion on agriculture. Tho chief merit of
tbe class of matter which it contains, is
that it is entiroly practical. Progiees is
advocated, but only where substantiated
by careful experiment. If any1 one is in
.doubt.ns to the great value.of this.(pori

rending tho following articles in this
