A NARROW ESCAPE.-Afc Nashville, on the 17th instant, the telegraph operators narrowly escaped with their lives, so violent were the flashes of electricity. The Banner says: Most of the instruments were saved by being cat out. The instruments connected with tho wire leading to Memphis had not been cut, and the operator, Mr. Lonorgan, was trans? mitting messages to that point, but fortunately had opened his "key," thereby breaking the circuit, to ask a question regarding a message. Doubtless his life was thus provi? dentially spared. As it was, ho re? ceived a stunning shock, starting back iu terror and amazement at the blinding flash and stunning report, and affording no little amusement to his comrades by endeavoring to back over tho next table. From tho brass points in tho switch-board, lightning streamed six or eight feet into the room, causing u general stampede and scatter among tho "lightning boys." Outside of the oflice, a ball of fire about a foot in diameter was seen to leap from one wire to another, i a distance of several feet. THE JriiY SESSION OF CONGRESS. It is now a settled fact that Congress will meet on the 3d of July, and that a quorum will be in attendance; and in reply* to the question, what will they do, the answer is, from all quar? ters, pass a declaratory Act in respect to the military reconstruction law and adjourn. We inclino to the opi? nion that Congress should do some? thing more than this. There is, for instance, no justice in exempting Government bonds from taxation. Whatever might have been tho ex? cuse while tho war was going ou, when tho Government wanted money, and had to resort to tho most feasible scheme to get it, there is uow no necessity for exempting a single dol? lar, no matter how nor where invest? ed, from taxation. f Washington Republican. GOLD MINES.-The long dormant I mineral rerourccs of this section of South Carolina seems to bc attract? ing, at this time, a considerable share ci attention from abroad. Within tho past few weeks, several gold prospects have been sold to Northern companies, at figures which would indicate that said prospects aro of a decidedly captivating nature. The Northern and Western sections of this District offer rare induce? ments, wo are informed, for invest? ment in gold mining adventures. The Broad River boundaries arc pro? nounced to bo rich in fino specimens of tho yellow ore. The (owners of this property cordially invite those who have the means to come and dig it out, and pay a reasonable toll. [ Yorkville Enquirer, PREDICTIONS.-Jacob Greenwood, i of Lee County, aged eighty-six, writes to the Crisis, aud makes two predictions: First, "That tho year 1868 will bo marked by such a revo i lutiou in Europe as has not occurred j since the reformation; aud, secondly, I predict that thc same year will prove the defeat of the radical party North -a defeat which the hearts of the people are already thoroughly pre? pared for. A Democrat will bo tue next President, and a Democratic Congress will succeed the present, and radicalism commence a. slow de? cline." SICKLES ANO SHERIDAN.-Secretary Stanton has written Gen. Sickles, de? clining to grant his request to bo re? lieved from command of the Caro? linas. General Graut has replied to Gen. Sheridan's letter, but refuses to give the reply for publication until the return of President Johnson. Il is stated, on good authority, that he merely ordered General Sheridan to actus usual until the return o? tho President, when definite orders will j be given. COUNTERFEIT.-The Macon Tele graph, of Sunday, says: "We wore shown yesterday. l>y President Plant, of tho First Na \ tioual Bank, a counterfeit c<l bill, ; United States currency, and he in \ forms us shat large numbers of them, I together with twos, are in circulation I in this vicinity. They can be readily : detected from their general defect I iveness, the engraving being of a : most inferior order and the paper ? thinner thau in the genuine bill." LARGE CARGO.-There was cleared, at the custom house, yesterday, by Messrs. Courtenay & Trenholni, the ship Bombay, for Liverpool, with the following large and valuable freight, viz: 621 bags Sea Island cotton. 1,303 bales upland cotton, 800 bar? rels spirits turpentine, 1,911 barrels rosin, thirty-two tons cotton seed and sundries-tho entire freight beiug valued at 0250,000. {Charleston Courier, 27th. - . . Hov. A. H. STEPHENS.-^-We regret to leam that tho health of this dis? tinguished gentleman is still bad. In a letter to a friend in this city, just received, he says: "I am indeed quite feeble, aud barely able to be np half my time." Wo learn that his whole timo, when able to work, is devoted to the preparation of his forthcoming book upon tho war, which he hopes to be able to complete by the end of the year.-Augusta Chronicle. It is now said thut no mor?' re? movals must be made South, but that there will bo no restoration of deposed officials. Th? Louisiana Supreme Court lias re-affirmed the judgment of a lower court, declaring the tax imposed, under nn Act of the Legislature, of one-fourth of one per cent, on gross sales, modo by merchants, to bu un? constitutional. The New Orleans Bee says this au exceedingly impor? tant decision iu its effects upon tho finances of the State, cutting off about $1,000,000 from its revenue, and materially depreciating the value of State currency. A correspondent of the London Cosmopolitan notes the fact that, at the laying of tho first stone of the Hall of Arts by the Queen recently, the flag of every nation, except that of tho United States, floated from the building. As the flags were pro? vided by the Admiralty, it may be pertinent to say that perhaps the American ensigns captured and lodged nt tho Admiralty are so few that they don't liko to risk them out of their custody. BULLY roi; SHERIDAN!-Tho New Orleans Registry Board rejected an applicant because he was au auction? eer before the war, ou tho ground that an auctioneer was "a public officer." Gen. Sheridan has indulged ! in the extramo liberality of over? ruling the ruling of the board. And so auctioneers are not included in the disqualified class. "God and Liber ty!" BOSTON.-Wo shall think better of the people of tho Hub hereafter, in that they have shown that they could lay aside tho prejudices of the hour, and manifest a proper degree of re? spect for the execntivo head of tho Government? Their conduct in this respect is in striking contrast with that, displayed by the little meu of big Philadelphia. LOUISIANA.-Referring to the Lou isana negroes, the New Orleans Times says that wherever the negroes hold meetings, they propose men of their own color as their future leaders and representatives. They have no con? fidence iu white men, be they dyed ever so deeply in thc mtense crimson of radicalism. "No white trash for us," is their cry. A TEXT NOT IN THE BIBLE.-Rev. J. D. Fulton "preached a sermon" in Ruston, last Sunday', from tho text, "What shall bo done with Jefferson Davis?" It is scarcely necessary to say that a minister so false to his God was false also to man; and instead of enforcing the charities which distin? guish Christiaus from savages, howled for blood like a wolf. PREACHERS WANTED.-The Phila? delphia Bulletin says that there is a scarcity of preachers of all denomi? nations in the North. We thiuk that the good people of that section O? our once glorious L'niou ought rather to rejoice than mourn over that fact, I as for several years past the preach? ing has had more of politics than religion in it. The First National Bank of Vicks? burg has collapsed. The officers ol tho coucern stated that they conk! have saved it if they hail been abb to borrow 625,000, but tho Condi tion of its Affairs was found to be Sf bad that capitalists refused to aid ii audit was, consequently, forced ti go by the board.

GRAND NATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT, For thc Benefit of tho LADIES9 SOCIETY In Aid of tho Suffering ami Destitute Poor of llio South. ^Vill lake placo lu Washington, I). 0.. August 1, '67. rTlHE "Ladies' Society in aid of the Suf JL fi ring and Destitute Pour of thc South" would respectfully and earnestly call tho attention of tho generous Northern public to the great distress and fearful fullering now prevailing in tho .Southern State.?, betters are daily received from the South, from the (?ener?is Commanding, Govern? ors, ministers and eminent citizens, fur? nishing tho most heart-rending details of tho actual want, lamine and starvation in their immediate neighborhood. The fol? lowing few extracts from the very many letters received bv tho Secretary and Ma? nagers of thu Society are respectfully re? ferred to: H'OQ.UABTknS, Jni MlLITAUY DlST., (Mississn>i>i awn AUKANSAS, ) VlCKsnuuo, Miss., May 13, 1807. I am glad to seo that tho attention of tho gent?o and humane ladle- of tho North is being tinned toward? the sad and desolate condition of this onco happy land. You, Madam, surrounded with theplcuty and comforts of a wealthy city, can scarcely appreciate tho fact that, in many parts of tho South, whole communities "are, by a failure in crops and tho absence of moiicy or its equivalent, left, in want of the neces? saries of life; and that poor women, with huge families of helpless children, BO ,ie onstomod to depend on the labor of others, that now, with no husband, brother or servant to help, and no money, they do not know what to do or where to go for food; but are left in tho solitudes of these South? ern forests, in rags and gaunt with hunger, subsisting on what thc mother or largor children can shoot or pick un in tho woods, or on what tho few neighbors, nearly as poor as they are, can bring them. Officers of my acquaintance have mot with such mothora, long alter dark, out in the woods, with an old gun just tired, r.tid the coon or possum just kille.1; have gone home with them and mot the group of little starvelings waiting patiently mother's re? turn with some of the only hort of food ?hey had tasted for weeks: and women and children have boen found within sixty miles of the capital of a Southern State, during the past year, who had starved to death in their lonesome cabins. These eases of great distress are rare in Southern cities, foi- there, even the most delicately bred can generally lind some work which they can do to keep the wolf from the door; but the farms or plantations in the South arc pe? culiarly .secluded, with miles ot forest or swamp between thom, poor roads, and the stock .uni animals nearly al! taken by the war, the famine, the floods, or the thieves, who in sucit times infest a country, and the distressed families are often, by the time necessity makes them want to leave, too sick to travel on foot, and there is no other way to go. Your proposed entertainment, Madam, should it produce only funds enough to re? lievo a small fraction of the destitution of this country, will he a good beginning, and maybe followed in other cities North by similar appeals to people who have happily never felt tho desolation and tho horrors which follow in the tracks ofgreat armies uf invasion.

The recent manifestations of an almost univer? sal desire throughout tho South forarcallv fraternal re-union with the North, may weil serve to stimulate the generous sj m pa th ios of ibo Northern people, while not hing could do more to roster and encourage the growth of a healthy sentiment in the Sunt h than the generous aid which it is the mission ol your society to invoke. 1 sincerely hope the noble efforts of the sociotj maj result in thu most abundant success. 1 arn,deal Madam, von respectfully, vour obedient servant, J.

The lib? erality of tin; Government of the United States, and the munificent contributions already made for the relief of thc widi - spread destitution in tho state?, leaves great numbers unprovided with food ami clothing. And until an abundant harvest enables the people hero to do more for themselves, 1 trust thc ever generous and prosperous committees of tho North will continuo their noble gifts to this impover? ished and afflicted population. With my bust wishes for the success of your under taking, I remain, Madam, very respectful? ly. DANIEL E. SICKLES, Commanding Second Military District. COLUMBIA, S. C., May io, W07. Permit me not only to give you the as? surance of my jK>or help in this your gen? erous endeavor to relieve our impoverished and unhappy peoplo, but to expro^s to you in their bedail, that gratitude which is so - nouent ly your due for tho generous sym? pathy manifested by your organization for those among ns in distress. A'iahhtg you God speed in your noble work, I am, Mu dam, very respectfully, vour obedient ser? vant, JAMES L. OJtU, Governor Soul h Carolina. (?UKKKsBor.o, May 14, lsf.7. Have just returned from A tom through th? section made memorable by "Sher? man's march to ina ssabeard." P. verty, suffering and destitution of the people can scarcely be roftlhsed-living in hutt?, rudely constructed of charred board*, of rail?, boughs and mud, you arc met by hollow eyed, emaciated forms, whoso first words are ''bread"-for something to stifle the craving!? or hunger. In one placo, I vrit ncsaed the body of a child borne to its last rest, on a board, in tho same rag? in which it died. In another, four females existed for a week on two pound? of corn, together with some rooty. On the road, I met an? other who had walked twelve miloB to beg some food for her children. Many other instances can bo givon of ead suffering from actual want of food. Very trulv, FREDERICK WATTS, M. D. The public have already responded nobly to the cull, but not to the extent required to keep starvation from making victims of many. Additional funds must be raised at once; the case in urgent. The Lady Ma? nagers, after maturo deliberation, have decided to briug it before the generous people of tho North, by giving a Grand National Entertainment, trusting to their active co-operation and sympathizing aid for thc immediate supply'of means to en? able them to purohaae and forward food to starving thousands. The Grund Na? tional Entertainment will bo given at Washington, D. C., August 1,1807. 300,000 tickets will be offered for sale, at $2 each.
