SUN-STROKKS. 6dT Joaquin Miller’s first name is pro nounced as if spelt Wall-in. That is wlmt the Muses said to him. Petersburg Progress wishes to Ihj known as a “New Departurist." Let it skedaddle if it wants to. It is a re trograde Progress anyhow. K3L A Radical paper says : “ Grant has appointed but forty-oue relatives to offioe;” but neglects to mid that he was unhappy because there wus no more to be appointed. )&-An English Satan has written u work on “The Meteoric Origin of Man.” Whether or not men came to the earth as “falling stars,” some of them have fallen dreadfully since they got here. The Louisville Ledger says : “the most obstinate man in the United States is Parson Brown low.” That is true. He lived out the natural term of his life ten years ago ; but he lives on just for con trariness. The Terre Haute Express is under the conviction that “best thing the Demo cratic party can do, is to die.” That oonviotion will be terribly deepened on the mind of the Express and all * other Radicals by the incidents of next year. Harris, of the 8avannah News, in a letter from Atlanta, says he slept the first night he was hero in the “State House.” This is evidently a mistake on the part of the printer, as the word written, was, no dobut, sfaf/on-house. B&ultis claimed by the “New Departu- rists” that their platform would entrap many Republicans. True, some of them might get upon it, mistaking it for the real, original Radical structure. There are abundant reasons why such a mistake might be mode. •0u The Louisville Ledger asserted that an article in the Nashville Banner was written by the editor of the Courier- Journal. The editor of the Banner de nies the charge in a manner that would lead one to believe that ho is not “Hap py,” but he is. B&u The Capital says : “ there never was a President before who did so much social injury to Washington as the present extraordinary head of the Government.” Humph ! and his party is doing a “social injury,” to the entire nation, by miscegenation, and such. The Courier-Journal says: “There is a physician in this city who is so very skillful that he lias been known to havo snatched some of his patients from the very grave.” That ought to be conso ling to the <\-J., its it may be possible that the Doctor, referred to, can resur rect that sheet. The Petersburg, Virginia, Progress takes time to say: “Mr. Stephens is not old in journalism. Before lie shall have been at the 'business many years he will retire liis ‘A. H. 8.’ A certain typo graphical error in that signature would play the deuce with his dignity. ” Though it is not apparent how “his dignity” could lie affected thereby; yet, some care less printer might make the signatur “L H. S.,” which is precisely what the Democrats have written upon the volume of Mr. Stephens’ political faith. GEORGIA NEWS. GREEN COUNTY. The Greensboro Herald of the 24th has the following: Two negroes living on Mr. Felix Gres ham’s place, had a difficulty ou lust Sat urday week, about some monied transac tion, which resulted in the killing of one of the parties, Jet!’. Cannult, who wus waylaid and shot by Andrew Gresham, who is still at large; but au accessory, Joe Durham, has been arrested, tried and bound over in the sum of one thousand dollars. The one shot lingered uutil Friday last, when he died. ROME. The Courier, of tho 24th, publishes the presentment of the grand jury of Polk county, from which wo extract a brace of of paragraphs. While we would build up and estab- liah every institution that is calculated to enlighten and advance onr morals, and consequently act as a preventive of crime, we are forced to notice and condemn those things which have an opposite tendency, and this connection let us ad vert to the evil tendency of the so-called “Ku Klux Bill.” While acting in our capacity of grand jurors wo havo been forced to notice the apparent eagerness of prosecutors and witnesses to twist and contort cases of common riot and cross roads brawls into violations of the above named law. The extravagant rewards offered for the apprehension, and con- viotion of violators of said law, being a temptation too strong to be resisted by vicious minded persons, and consequent ly liable to lead them into the commis sion of the crime of perjury, We would reoommend that our Sena tor and Representative endeavor to have a law passed at the next General Assem bly compelling a more rigid enforcemeut of the oonditions of coutruots between employers and employees. The Courier says, tbe directors of the Memphis branch road held a meeting on the 29th inst., und called a meetiug of tho stockholders, to be held in this city, at the City Hall, ou the tirst day of Sep tember, to elect a board of directors, and to make arrangements to put tbe rood uuder contracts at once. The aquibbler of tho Commercial elimi nate* the following: We had a very pleasant raiu all day S esterday. Tho dust is laid, and Romo as recovered her good spirits. CoL C. G.

The following items are from tile News: At Fernaudina tho City of Houston was lying at anchor in a disabled condi tion, dismantled, and her boilers and ma chinery useless. To an officer of the United States Navy, who was a passenger of tho Houston, 1 am indebted for the following: The steamer City of Houston, 1,220 tons, Captain Partridge, of the Galveston and Key West line, which left New York ou the Pith instant, encoun tered a severe hurricane ou the night of Wednesday, the 16th instant, while off Cupe Canavarali. All sails were blown away; tiller ropes parted, and so water was shipped os by 2 a. m. of the to put out tbe furnace tires und render the ship helpless. A party of fifty-nine men of-wars-men, uuder command of sc*vend experienced naval officers, being aboard as passengers, they were set to work to bail out the fire-room and work the bilge pump. Fires were started under the donkey boiler by breaking up bulk-heads in the cabin, and the water reduced suffi ciently to start fires under the only avail able main boiler, the other haviug broken adrift. At 6 o’clock a. ii., 17th, the fore mast was cut aw ay to bring the ship to the wind, and permit of shoving up the boiler; at G p. m., the engiuo was started, but after working off shoro for an hour or two, the steam pipe crocked owing to tho rolling of tho ship, and fires were hauled. During the night, tho wind still blowing a moderate gide from the south east, the second boiler broke adrift, leaving the ship helpless, until the night of tho 19th, when wind and sea modera ting, the boilers and rubber were secured, the steam pipe packed and the ship headed for Fenumdina, which was, by observation, then about fifty-throe miles southeast, whefe she arrived at 2 p. m. , 20th. The cargo is much damaged by salt water and its estimated value w $1,000,000. The New York Ageuts ore Messrs. C. H. Mallory & Co. Tho force of the wind was terriflic on the night of the 16th, with a very high sea, which broke over the ship fore and aft, carrying; away doors, windows, bulkheads one. hatches, and deluging the cabin. The hatches were quickly secured however, by the indefatigable efforts of the naval offi cers and men-of-war-men. Among the passengers, nine in number, was one lady, Mrs. Frank, of Kev West, whose couragous fortitude elicited the admiration of all on board. The first mate of the ship had two ribs broken, also one inan- of-ware-mau. Others were badly bruised. The steamer’s deck hands numbered only four men and one boy, aud but for the presence of so many sailors and pussen- gers, the ship must inevitably have been foundered. During the storm the ba rometer fell as low’ as 28.29. The City of Houston is an iron steamer, built at Ches ter, Pa., elegantly finished, and is ou her first voyage. The late storm was felt along the entire coast from South Carolina fo £hc Florida reefs, and every arrival brings tho news of disasters by sea and land. Several resorts ou the “Salts” did not escape the fury of the gale, aud at Thunderbolt, we learn, that nearly every boat was more or leas damaged, and about a dozen bnttcaux wrecked; a number of trees were blown down und the bluff badly washed in sev eral places. The first bridge ou the Thunderbolt road before arriving at the bluff was washed away, and tho usually sluggard stream which it crosses turned into a; rapid river. The destruction of this bridge renders the road impassable for vehicles, and they have to g<> by the Bonaventure road for the present. The bridge, it is expected, will be repaired to-day.

COLUMBUS, The following are from tho Sun, of the 26th : The machinery of llie “Empire Cotton See I Ifuller Oil Company” has arrived and with it a man from tho North to su perintend the erection. Policemun James Roberts has succee ded! through bis ageuts, Mr. Lewis aud others, in arresting Albert Christian, col ored, who killed Juck Williams, colored, in this city lust January. This is the ne gro for whose arrest Uulluck bos offered a reward of SI,000. A young man seemingly about nine teen years of age, wus in tho city yester day seeking employment. He said bo bail arrived on thu early train, was from Albany and on-routo to Louisiana, where be has a sister. While sleeping on the train, bo states, bis wallet containing $3U slipped from bis pocket, aud when be awoke it could not bo found. Fortunate ly ho bad a little money in his pocket, which was undisturbed.

The misebief you say I" Tho Citizen of tbe 24th contributes the following items: After a drouth of some eight weeks, the weather took a sudden change yes terday morning, since which time we havo been blessed with u very refreshing rain; and tho prospect at present is very good for more. A man, a stranger, was found dead on the old turnpike road over Cuhuttnh Mountain, on Thursday lust, in Murray comity. Ho was evidently murdered, udging from the marks of violence upon tis person. Soon ufter tho discovery of stroy the hopes, the energy, the man hood of their husbands. I f husbands, they choke down the cheerfulness which trusting love has m store, tuid cover their own homes with gloom. If parents, they mildew the joyous expectations of youth, und sow in the hearts of their own offspring pro lific seeds of doubt, indigence, mis- uuthrophy and misery. Tho late election of the Con- ten ative ticket has helped to make cheerful many a Charles tonian. They begin to feel that their day of relief, if not entire redemption, from the accumulated and cumulative evils of Radical gov ernment, draweth nigh. It would be nauseous to enter into a detail of the ills these ]icople have had to bear. Hut the end is near at luiud. MANY COLORED l'EOl'I.B were prominent in snp]iort of this conservative movement, aud were in strumental in uchieving the good suu- cess. I could name several who havo been uctivo and prominent in this matter. TUE BTOKM, No doubt you have had full partic ulars of in tho papers. Friday night witnessed one of the most terrific storms of wind and rain ever before visited upon Charleston. Some eight inches of rain fell, and many cellars have been filled with water, and much damage done in various re spects. CLOSED HOUSES. Notwithstanding the improvements I mention, Charleston is not yet what she was, years back. This iB painfully evidenced by the fact that but few houses have been replaced upon the wide pathway by the terrific fire of 1861. Old cellars there are filled with water and frogs. Many stores on Hay street, once the scenes of the heaviest business of the city, are now closed. Many wharves which were piled and loaded with the pro ducts of the country and the com modities of commerce, ure now grown over with grass and. weeds. Much yet remains to be done. YELLOW FEVKIt. 1 must touch lightly on this sub ject ; but will say to-day there is much talk and anxiety about it.

It was much needed to allay tho dust if nothing else. Corn and cotton are too far advanced for rain to do either any good. The Railroad Barbecue which came off at Greenvillo last Wednesday, was attend ed by the largest crowd of people that have visited that town since the termina tion of the war. With tho exception of a few fights, everything passed off pleas antly. Forty-one thousand dollars was subseribed for the contemplated Railroad. A lack of time prevents our giving an ex tended notice of tho whole affair. COVINGTON. The Examiner of the 25th says: We regrofc to announce that a telegram was received here (this Wednesday) announ cing tho death of Captain Elijah Rosser, at Greenslxiro, Ala. Capt. Rosser lias been for a number of years, a citizen of Covington, and was on a visit to some relatives iu Alabama. MACON. A correspondent of tho Telegraph, writing from Twiggs county, says: There is a greater area planted in corn than was last year, but will bo only half os much housed, with very little fodder, ns it was burned before the corn would admit of its being pulled. Owing to the cotton plant being so full of sap from the excessive rains, and then the long drouth, the bolls are opening very rapidly, though little more than half grown. The weed is small, consequently has on very little fruit, and is shedding rapidly. So we cannot possibly make more than au aver age crop. Tho Telegraph of the 24th has the fol lowing items: Tbe crop promise iu Georgia has cer tainly not improved within the past Urn days. On the coast, sea island cotton has been cut off more than one-half by the late terrific gale, which wliippod off the fruit aud protracted tho plants. The weed will now put forth u multitude of suckers to tbe sore injury of the remain ing bolls. Those rice fields upon which the harvest flow had been admitted, will faro very well, as the stalks of gram were upheld aud kept from fading by the su perincumbent water. Where this flow had been drawn off, however, preparatory to catting, the earth is covered with a tangled mass of rice, one-half of which can never be secured. Ou tho Gulf Road, ami in Scroveu, Burke, Jefferson and other middle counties, the rust is rapidly becoming general and very fatal. Tho crop in this section is still decidedly bet ter than in Southwest Georgia, so far as the observation of the writer extends. Corn and sugar-cane will yield abundant- lly cutting place in front of Lowry A Eason’s store on Tuesday evening. A little boy, son of Mr. James Cobb of this place, was playfully teasing a young mau named Curcuton, who became so exasperated that he stabbed the little boy in tho leg, iu a most cruel maimer, with a large knife. The wound was at least 1 j inches long, and au inch or moro deep, and though very painful, the little fellow, we are pleased to learn, is resting very easy this morning. MARIETTA.

Editors Sun: It has been so long since I have written you, that I hardly know how to begin a letter. Indeed, my pen, never bright, lias actually corroded from disuse. However, “we will see what we will sec.” CHARLESTON. I was glad to notice improvements in this dear old city since my last visit here some three years ago.— Houses have been repainted which were then dingy and dirty; fences fixed up which then were down; stores and offices refitted, refurnished and repainted, which then were in a state of decided dilapidation; churches have been renovated, some new stores built, new signs put up, new carriages on the streets, new furniture in ho tels. In a word, everything betokens a return of the good old time. The people look more cheerful—faces, brighter—step quicker—hands out of pockets, and all driving ahead, not in the listlcssncss of three years ago, hut with an apparent purpose to subserve. Such were my reflections und observations tile first day I sauntered out. Then, too, I noticed that the old Custom House, wliioli was terribly dilapidated, is lie- ing covered, stuccoed and fitted up for the postoflice, and the new Cus tom House building, which was in an unsightly, unfinished condition, is I icing pushed to completion, with its beautiful white noble front. Then I met some acquaintances. When lust here, they were as disconsolate as over Jonah was uliout his gourd vine. They would point t.> palatial resi dences once, hut no longer theirs; talk of the fine horses they no longer owned ; the broud acres now unotli- ers; the hundreds of slaves they were robbed of; the ease and com forts they never again expected to enjoy, and like poor Jonah, they would answer your while will certainly settle the ques tioii, und none will rejoice more than myself to learu that Yellow Jack has not again cursed this hospitable old city. CHARLESTON HOTEL. Allow me just one word about this well-known house. It was here some twelve years ago; 1 got such good eating, that it gave me dyspepsia for life. It was all my own fault—tin disease I mean—for nobody com IH'lletl me to eat too much. That noble old provider,* Mixer, kept the hotel then. Well, all I have to say, is, it is so nearly as good now as then, that it would puzzle any one to point out the difference. We’il try to write you from other points.
