Augusta, MaL-e - - ' A GANG OF OUTLAWS. - Serenty-three - Men Who - Terrorize Roane County, W. Va, " - About - a month ago Rev. Mr. Ryan, of Hoane county, W. Va., was shot and killed at his door by tires or four. Afterwards .a number of man lynched a man named Coon and two brothers named Doff, and it was isuppossd that the lynching was done because the man committed the erima. One of the parties mentioned in ; connection - with the killing of Ryan was Daniel Cunningham, an ex-detective. ' He disappeared after tie affair, but is now in Charleston, having bus iness before the United States Grand Jury " in relation to moonshinig carried on in Roane an i -Jackson counties. In relation to the '. murder of Mr. Ryan, he said: j t "I am here, not to evade civil law, but to keep . out of the hands of a gang of cut throats, murderers and demons. Itisreport- - ed that a warrant is out for me, but such is not the case, and I am not trying to elude " the officers. I called upon the- proper authorities, saw the Judge of the court and told tliem I was ready to give a bond. I was informed that I am i ot wanted and told to keep out of the way "of the mob, which I am now trying . to do. I shall return when wanted, provided I shall be protected. , The riiit is still after me and are making every effort to eet me. They met in the woods J several nights last week and tried hard to " raise a reward for me, but failed, v- - "They desire tc get me into their clutches " and murder me. None of the outlaws- have leea indicted, as it is well known that sever al members of the Grand Jury are members . of the consolidated ban L O ;e of the band told me that there are seventy-three mem " bers, and gave me their names. The mem' -bers are resid?nts of Jackson and Roane counties. ; There has been much said about '"that band doing illicit, distilling ever since - the late war.. Last June, near my home at ' Kentuck, I heard noises and saw smoke Issuing from a deep hollow in a thich jungle - A young man was with me and we crept to n position near the place and there saw a Still in full blast. I reported the find to the Siovernment authorities and. was given war rants of arrest. I made the arrests in com pany with Bob Duff. For this he was lynch ed by a mob last month. A still was opera lai by these people last winter and they sold '.. their product promiscuously before it was . gauged by Government officers. " Evidence enough has been found to prove -.- that the murderers of Mr. Ryan are still at large and that those who were lynched are : Innocent of the crime. JUDGES INDICTED A Grand Jury Charges Them with Failing to Protect Public Interests. - Great; excitement was caused in Edgefield, S. C by the presentment of the Grand Jury Of that coujty," which charged every Judge and solicitor , who has held court in Edge field for a number of years with having vio lated his sacred oath of office and with fail ur to protect the public interests in certain cas?s. This action of the Grand Jury was ciused by the failure of the courts to indict two county treasurers of Edgefield who had been sue essively reported by grand juries as being defaulters. Neither the treasurers ror their bondsmen wer held "accou :table,' r.dthe treasurer last year, reported a de faulter to the amount 01 $10,000, w as still in i Sloe and refused to turn over to a successor I ie office books.

I ' - - Text: "Till a dart strike through his UverS Proverbs, vit, 23. There is a fashion in s?rmonics. A com paratively small part of tbe Bible is called on for texts. Most of the passages of Script jro, when announced at the opening of' sermons, immediately divide theaisolves into oi l dis cussions that we have heard from boyhoo 1, and the effect on us is soporific. The auditor guesses at the start just, what the preacher will say. There are very important chapters and verses that have never been preached from. Much of my lifetime I am devoting to unlocking thesa gold chests and blasting open these quarries. We talk about (he heart, and sing about the heart, but - if you refer to the physical organ that we call "the heart, it has not half so much to do 'with spiritual health or disease, moral exaltation q spiritual depression, as the-organ to the" consideration of which Solomon calls us in the text, when he describes sin progressing "tilf a dart strike through his liver." - Solomon's anatomical and physiologic il discoveries were so very great that he was nearly 3,000 years ahead of., tne 'scientists of his day. He, more than 1,000 years before Christ, seemed to know about the circulation of the blood which Harvey discovered 1,C13 years after f Christ, for when Solomon in Ecclesiastes,' describing the human - body, speaks of the pitcher at the fountain,, he evi dently meacs the thre can ah leading from the heart that receive the hood like pitchers. When he speaks in Ecclesiastes of thesitver cord of life, he evidently maans the spinal marrow, about which in our day Drs. Mayo and Carpenter, and Dalton, aud Flint, and Brown-Secmard have experimenteJ. And Solomon recorded in the Bible thousands of, years before scientists discovered it, that in his time the spi ial cord relaxed in old age, producing the tremors of hand and head; 'Or if the silver cord be loosed.1 In the text he reveals the fact, that he had studied that largest gland of the human sys tem, the liver, not by tbe e'ecti ic light of the modern dissecting room, but by the dim light of a comparatively dark aga, and yet had seen its important function iu the God-builb castle of the human body, its selecting and secreting power, its curious cells, its elon gated, branching tubes, a divine workman ship 4n ceutral, and right, and left lobe, and the hepatic artery through which God con ducts the crimson tides. . Oh, this vital organ is like the eya of God in that it niver sleef i Solomon knew of it and had noticed either in vivisection or post mortem what.awful at tacks sin end dissipation make upon it, until" with the fiat of Almighty God it bids the body and- soul separate, and the one it coai mands to tha grave and the other it sen is to judgment a. javelin of retribution, not glancing off or making a slight woun J, but piercing it from side to side "till the dart strike through the liver," Galen and Hippo crates ascribe to the liver the mot of tbe world's moral depression, and the word melancholy means black bile. - . .- . I preach to you this morning the gospel of health. In taking diagnosis of the d seases of the bouI you must also take the diagnoses of the diseases of the body. As if to recog nize this, one whole book of the New Testa ment was written by a physician. Luke was a doctor, and he discources much'of physical effects, and he tells of the good Samaritan's medication of the wounds by pouring in oil and. wine, and recognizes hunger as a hin drance to; hearing the Gospel, so that the 5,0 JO were fed; and records-the spare diet of the prodigal away from home, and the extin guished eyesight of the beggar by the way side, and lets us know of the ' hemorrhage of the wounds of the dying Christ and the miraculous post-mortem resuscitation. And any estimate of the spirituat condition that does hot ! include a"so an estimate of the physical condit on re incomplete. First, let Christian people avoid the mis take that 'hey are ai wrong with God be cause chey suffer from depression of spirits. Many a consecrated mannas found his spir itual sky befogged, and his hope and heaven blotted out, and himself plunged chin deep in the Slough of Despond, and hss said: "My heart is not right with God.and I think I must have made a mistake, and instead of- bein a child of light I am a child of darkness. No one can i'eel as gloomy as I feel and be a Christian." And he has gone to his minister for consolation, and he has collected Flavel's books, and Cecil's books, and Baxter's books, and read and read and read, and prayed ana prayed and "prayed, and wept and wept and wept, ana groaned ana groaned and groaned. My brother, your trouble is not with tneneart; it is a gastric disorder or a re bellion of - the liver. ou-need a physi cian more than you do a clergyman. It is not sin that blots out .your -fcopaof he ven, but bile, j it not only yellows your eyeball, and furs your tongue, and make your bead ache, but swoops upon your soul in dejections and forebodings. The devil is after you. - He has failed to despoil your character, and he does the next best thing for him he ruffles your peace of mind. : When he says that you are not a forgiven soul, when he says that you are not right with God, when ho says that you will never eet to heaven: he lies. You are just as sure of heaven as though you were there already. 1 But Satan, finding that he cannoi keep you out of the promised land of Canaan, has determined -that the" spies shall not bring you any of tbe Eschol grapes beforelmnd, and that you sh .ll have nothing but prickly pear a nd crab apple. You are just as good now under the cloud as you were when you were accustomed to rise in the morning to pray: and' sing ''Hallelujah, 'tis done." Edward; Payson, - sometimes so far up on : the mount - that it seemed as if the centripetal - force of earth could no longer, hold him, sometimes through a physical dis order was so .far down that it seemed as i f the nether '- world would clutch him. Glorious William Cowper was as good as good could be, and will be loved in the Christian church as long as it sings his hymn beginning: "There is a fountain filled with hlood,!' an 1 his hymn beginning: Oh, for a closer waias .with God," and his hymn beginning:; What various hindrances we meet," and his hymn beginning: "God .' moves in a mysterious way." ' Yet so was he overcome of melan choly, r black bile, that it was only through the mistake Of the cab driver who took him to a wrong place, instead of the river bank, that he di 1 not commit suicide. - , i Spiritual condition so. mightily affected by tha physical state! What a great oppor tunity this gives the Christian physician, for he can feel at the same time both the pulse of the body and the pulse of tha soul, and he can administer to both at once, and -if medi cine is needed he can give that, an J if spirit ual counsel is needed he can give that an earthly and a divine prescription at the samo time and call nob only the apothecary "of earth, but the pharmacy of haaven. Ah, this is the kind of doctor I want at my be 1 side when I get sick, one that can not only , pour out the right number of drops, but one who can also pray; : That is the kind o doc tor I have had in my house when sickness or death came. I do not want any of your prof ligate or-atheistic doctors around my loved ones when the; balances of life are . trem bling. .-- i A doctor who has gone through the medical college, an i L in dissecting i om has traversed tho wonder. of the human mechanism, and found no God ia any of tha labyrinths, is a fool, and cannot doctor me or mine. But, oh, the Christian doctors! What a comfort, they have been" in many of our households. ; And they ought to have a warm place in our pravers, a? w.-ll as prat'so on our - . n l i n.. i TvX fafhp'o doctor, my mother's dortor, in the village home, i 1 He ' carried ail the coall iences of alt the -. famiiiei fourteen : mLes - around.

' - AiiOther practicoTuse of this subject is for the young. The theory is abroad that they must firBt sow their wild oats, and afterward Michigan wheat. Let, me break the delusion. Wild oats are generally sown in the liver, and they can naver bo pulled Up. They so preoccupy that organ that there is no room tor the implantation of a righteous crop. You See aged men - about tis at jS'J erect, agile, splendid, grand old men. - Hbw much -wild oats did they sow between 18 years and cU? Ione, ; absoluta noae. - God does not very often honor with old age those who have in early life sacrificed swine on the altar of the bodily temple, v ; Remember, O, young man, that while in after life and after years of dissipation yoa may perhaps have your heart changed, religion does not change the liver. - Trembling snd stag gering along thesa streets to-day are men, all ; bent and decayed and pre maturely old for the reason that they are paying for hens they put upon their physical estate before they werfl 80. By early dissipa tion they put on their body a first mortgage, and a second mortgage,- and a third mo; t gage to the devil, and these mortgages are now being foreclosed, and all that remains of their earthly estate the r undertaker ; will soon put out of tight. Many years agov in fulfillment of my text, a dart struck through their liver, and it is there yet God forgives, but outraged phvsacal law never, never, never. That has a Sinai, but no Cal vary. Solomon in my text knew what he was talking about: -He had in early life ,been a profligate, and - ha risas up on his throne of worldly splendor to shriek out a warning to all the centuries. David, bad in early life, but good in late.- life, cries out "With an agony of earnestness: "Remember not the sins of my youth." : 1 ! , : Staphen A. Doug'ai gave the name . of squatter sovereignty to tho?e who went out West and : took possession of lands and held them by : right of preoccupation. Let a flock of sins settle on your heart before you get to 25 years ef ago, aud they will in all probability keep posses.-ion '- of it by an in formal squatter sovereignty. "I prom lse to pay at the bank $500 six 'montns from date," says the "promissory note. "I promise to pay my ; life thirty years from date at the bank of tha prave." says every infraction of the law rof your physical being. : ':! ' . ':-- .:. . What ? - Will a man's boly never com pletely recover from an early dissipation in tms world f .never. J now aoouc tne woria to come? i Perhaps God will fix it up in the resurrection body so that it will not have to go limping through ail eternity, but get the liver thoroughly damaged and it will stay damaged. Physicians call it cancer of the liver, or. harden .ng of the liver, or cirrhosis of the liver, or inflammation of the liver, or fatty degeneration of the liver, but Solomon pots all these pangs into one figure an I says: "Till the d .rt strike throush his liver." - That young man smoking, cigarettes and , smoking i igars has no idea that he is getting for himself a smoked liver. That young man has no idea that he has. by early dissipation so depleted his energies that he will go into the battle only half armed. : Napoleon lost Waterloo davs be 'ore it w as fought Had he attacked the English array before it was re enforced, and taken it division by division, he might have won the day, but he waited until he hai only lOO.i.-OOmen against 0),000. And here is a young man who, if he put all his forces against the regiment of youthful temptations in the strength of t3od he might drive them back, but be is allowing them to be reinforced by the whole army of mid ife temptations, and when all tnes3 combined forces are massed against him and no Grouchy comes to help him, and Bluncher has come to h?lp his foes, what but immortal tiefeat can awu t bi.aJ - --.- ' . Some years ago a scientific lecturer weiit through the country exhibiting - on great canvaa different p-rts of the human body when healthy and different para when dis ease!. And what tie world wants now is some eloquent scientist to go through the country showing to our young people on blazing canvas the drunkard's liver, the idler's liver, tbe libertine's liver, the gam bier s liver,. - Perhaps the spectacle might stop-some young man before he comes to the same catastrophe, and the dart strike through" his own liver. , -r My hearer, this is the first sermon you have, heard on the gospel ; of health, and it may be the last you will ever hear on that subject ; and I charge you, in the name of God and Christ, and usefulness and eternal destiny, take bet tar care of your health. When some of you die, if your friends put on your tombstone a truthful epitaph, it will read: "Here lies the victim of late supi-er.s," or it will be: "Be hold what chicken salad at midnight wfll do for a man ;" or it will be: "Ten cigars a day closed my earthly existence;" or it w.ll ba: . .

Not One of' the most pUthethie " scenes that I ever jwitnesse l. and -1 often see it, is that of men or women converted in the fifties or sixties or seventies wanting to be useful, but they; so served the world and Satan in the earlier fart of their life that they have no physical energy left for the ser vice of God.- They sacrificed nerves, lnuscles, hmgs, heart and liver on the wrong a'.tar.

LIEUTEN1KT-GEN ER A.L SHERIDIK'S ANNUAL EEP0KT, Recommending an Increase of 5,000 - Men in the Service. . - , .1 Leutenant-General P. H. Sheridan has pre sented hir annual report to the Secretary of War..-- From the report it appears that at the date of the last consolidated returns th9 army consisted of 2,200 officers, and 24,236 men, ihcluding Indian scouts. Troop have been continually occupied in patrolling the Oklahoma country, and h-vve baen suc cessful in keeping intruders out of that region. The gradual spread of rail--roads throughout the territory can, how ever, ultimately have but one effect, and General Sheridan is now of opinion that Congress may well consider the advisability of opening up portions at least, of this coun try to settlement. . . in ordw to quiet the restless young man among the Crow Indians, the report savs, General Ruger has been authorized to enlist about thirty of their number as scouts and take them to Fort Custer. The Crows have always been friendly, and make it a boast that they have never killed a white man, and it would be a pity if anything should now 03 cur to disturb the peaceful relations so long standing.. General Sheridan is confident that General Ruger will be abla; to effect a permanent settlement that will be satisfac tory to the Cro ws as well as to the Govern ment - , . - In regard to the concentration of the army in the larger posts, the report says that the work on the new post at " Denver, where it is proposed - to p'ace ten companies, ; will shortly be ' commenced;- that E at - San Antonio has been progressing favorably during the year; : the ground for ' tha new rost near niaago win pass into tne posses sion of the Government at an early day, and' at Fort Snelling both, the .reservation and other attend snt conditions are favorable for, the establishment of . a large garri son, and only : some : additional . buildings are re -rail ed for their accommodat on.. The reconstruction of Fort" Rilay ; has been actively -prosecuted during- the year, but before it can be completed,- additional ippropriatona will be ue jessary. ; General Sheridan expresses 'regret that the very rapid decrease in tha number of deser tions from the army during1 the j previous two years has not been continued;' the In- rease is, however, very slight, being only about one half of one par cent more than last year. The de?ertious, as a geueral rule, ha i says, are mostly connaed to soldiers m the earlier years of their first enlistment, and to men who enlist only for atamporaryoccupa- ; tion, for transportation to a different sactiou of the country, or for apparently the "mere pleasure of desarting.. Thesa latter . form no inconsiderable part of the whole number, and it is not possible to recognize them unless Lhey happen to be personally known to the recruiting officer, it is probable that they will continue annually to swell the number of deserters. ' . - - . 7 uenerai oneriaan renews nss previous re commendatons touching the increase of the army by 5,0.X men and perfect ng the oran ization of the infantry arm by the addition of two majors and two companies to each regi ment - .. , -.. ,. . General Sheridan savs that 'the measnrea which would most promote the efficiencv of the service woujd be the passage of a law auiuuiuuig iua iuiujtxi ate reuimenc or. those officers, about eighty in nnmber.'ln whose " cases such, action has already ; been recommended by military boards, or who have for some time been absent on account of - sickness . from .ther cemmands with but little prospect of ultimate recovery." - Attention is called to the needs of the army in the matter of improved small arms, and General Sheridan says: : "Tbe Spring field rifle still remains the - weapon of --our service, and it is undoubtedly a very good one. In my opinion, however, the magazine gun must be the arm of ", the future, and a glance at foreign armies shows that fu ture, to be very near at hand. Every lead ing country abroad has either adopted a magazine gun or been activelv eneasred in experiments looking to the development of an effective . system. " With ns.orotrress in this direction appears to be very slow, and, as far as I know, no very decided steps have been taken during the year, nor any definite conclusions vet reached. " .- - i . -r - The report says that the condition of our coast defences has continued to deteriorate during the year, and that, they would be of little real s rvice in time of war. i ; : -. General Sheridan concludes his report with tne following -remarks concerning State militia: - '! am strongly in favor of the gen ei al Government extending all possible aid to the National Guard of the different States, as they constitute a body of troops that in any great emergency would form an import : ant part of our military force. They" should do armed - with the best weapons, amply . jjiuviueu. vvitu ; complete camp and gar- i isuu equipage ana instructed m tne various onus and exercises according to the tactics and systems followed in the reemlar nrm-r ; Accoramg to ray observation and experience. uiusu ui ma osa ts woods, now march w I nn handle the gun well, but they are deficient in discipline and in all the duties that teach a soldier to take care of himself while in camp v ujnwi a juaren. mis oeiecc can best oe overcome oy establishing some system of encampment under the control and direc tioa and at the entire expanse of tbe general Government . In the development o such a measure the entire army t &st well as myself personally, will be glad to render such assist ance as lies in our power, an 1 I; recommend that the favorable consideration of tbe sub . ject may ba commended to Congress." ANARCH JT m HIS CHURCH. Reasons for a New York Clergyman's Resignation. - - ' The Rev. BVC. Heyser, who.for three years has conducted a very successful pastorate in the German Evangelical Church, in east New York, has unexpectedly tendered his resignation, to take effect on' December Li He will take charge of a new mission, which is under the direction of the South Classes of. the Reformed Church of Long Island.?' The German Evangelical Church was organized five years ago, and among the leading mem bers were Peter. Brede, E. Schiellin and Martin Bennett, proprietors of big beer gar dens where many target companies resort, and other saloon-keepers. - The Rev. Mr. Heyser thus explains his action. . ; - v "There was a disagreement in "the church, due to the fact that we have Socialists and Anarchists among its members. - They want a religion without Christ and without a God. This is a kind of theology of ; which I have" no understanding, and not., being able to preach it I res'gned. I thoroughly under stand the nature of the institutions of this' country,-and therefore I have no faith in anything savoring of Anarchy. These peo--ple are talking of advanced thought, and advanced education, and yet they are chicken-brained. I really dont see what they want of a. church . They don't desire a God or Christ, and when .they talk of educa tion I suggest they raise a mission fund to educate some young man for a clergyman, doctor or lawyer, or some other honorable : profession, i They fail to respond, showing they are all talk."- - -. - 'An Engineer's Fatal Blunder.! n Galveston Tex., Nov. 19.
