What Bard Mftjrs Abonl II.
A telegraphic dispatch from Washing
ton to the SavannAh Xeirs, malien this
statement;
Samuel Bard says he is trying to buy
the Savannah Republican. Tho Era, tho
adminiblration organ of Grunt, hays tho
Kejmblican party has had enough of
Bard.
The Doctor tried bard to get the New
Departnrista of New York to buy the
Intelligencer, of this city. He made cer
tain propositions and promises of future
purchase to Judge Whitaker, whereupon
the Judge allowed biffi to take possession
of the office and ran it for a time, or till
the mleoeuldh* oonsummatud; but when
Bird had published the paper long
enough to damage it with its old frieDds,
he simply surrendered it back to Judge
Whitaker—remarking to those who talk
ed with him, that he kept it till he found
aub-thak it wm wrtb fmt little. So
doubt, Judge Whitaker was materially
Injured in the sale of tbe paper by Bard's
using it a short time, and bis failure to
purchase, as was confidently expected.
His True Georgian has failed to secure
any circulation or influence here, and no
party seems willing to acknowledge it as
an argon, or to help it to live. The
wealthy Departurists, the big bond-hold
ers of New York-4hoeo who originated
that plan of forever lulling the Demo
cratic party—refused to oome to his aid.
They could not “see” anything in it. If
they could havo believed the Intelligencer
or bis so-called True Georgian, under bis
management, would have exerted any in
fluence for tbeir cause, they would have
“shelled out” to any amount, for they
have tho meaas; bat they properly appre
ciated Dr. Bard's strength and influence
in Georgia, j \ ) ,
It also seems that not even the Radicals
will bid for the support of him and his
so-called True Georgian, and we imagine
they will not give much for the support
of the Republican, under his mansge-
ment _
Any mercantile house wanting a young
man with large acquaintance, would do
well to consult an advertisement in our
columns this morning.
Thr Burnt Ulilrlclof Cblrage,
Through the politeness of MlC N. J.
Doolittle, wc have been favored with a
large and very intelligent map of tho city
of Chicago, which is hanging up in our
office, where it will remain for a few
days, and where it can be inspected by
those who desire to do so. It shows the
origin, progress, aud extent of tho fire
and the awful devastation made by it
Tbe yicturo is a fearful ono to look at,
and fills the heart with sadness.
Mr. Doolittlo has just returned from a
visit to Iowa. A day or two before the
fire, bo was’in Chicago and rodo over tho
greater portion of tho city. On his re
turn, he again travelled over and inspect
ed tho wide spread scenes of destruction
and tho terrific suffering by tho people.
Thousands upon thousands of people are
bundled together in tents and board
shelters—crowded like so mnoh stock in
pens—tho best that can be done. He in
forms us that tho suffering condition of
the people can not bo imagined by any
ono—hardly even by those who were
driven from their homes in Atlnnta,
Columbia, Ac., and their property burnt;
for however oruel and horrid tho conduct
of Gen. Sherman, and tlic untold suffer
ing it eutailod, the people wore not ull
suddenly driven from their bousee by
leaping flamca—many without a change
of clothing.
Cal! and look at the picture.
ROOK NOTICES.
Chemical Manures.—'ThlB la tho title
of a work just Issued from the Plautation
Publishing Honso of this city. It con
tains the agricultural lectures delivered
by the noted French chemist, Goorge
Ville, nt the experimental farm in Vin
cennes, Frnnec.
This series of lectures, which lias been
published in the Plantation, was trans
lated from Die French, by Miss E. L.
Howard, the accomplished daughter of
Cuptaiu C. W. Howard, of this city.
This lady wa know to be well qualified
for such labors. Her education lias not
been limited to the usual narrow curric
ulum of American Female Colleges. Her
learning comprehends tho most abstruse
and rocondito science, and ber proficion
ey as a linguist, guarantees this, the first
scientific work of a Southern lady, as no
curate beyond any doubt.
The work was highly commended by
the Statu Agricultural Society, iu its re
cent Convention, and rooommstids its
circulation among tho ngricnltural socie
ties of tho State. Wo have not time to
give tho book on examination, and this
would seem superfluous when some of
tho first scholars and most experienced
agriculturists havo given it their hearty
indorsement.

Lowry, the Lenient.
His Honor did not apjiear yesterday
morning, nt the usual hour. The assem
bled convicts who had been trembling
with suspense gave a sigh of relief. They
stand in awe of the unrelenting will of
oar honored Mayor.
Fitzgibbon, however, with bis usual
urbanity, received their cards, ushered
them into the drawing room, besought
them to make themselves at home,
(which tkoy would have gladly done),
and hurried up to the presence
of His Honor, who was in the room
above, deeply absorbed in business.
Bat, with the most obsequious suavity,
reminded His Honor that be was Lord
Mayor of Atlanta town, and that his
many friends were awaiting his presence
down Btaira. His Honor returned his
compliments and regretted he was “not
at home,'' but in his absence delegated
bit right hand man, Lowry, as
MASTER OF THE DAY'S REVELRIES.
(Wm.) Holland was completely inun
dated with a flood of tears. This cannot be
attributed, however, to a leak in the levee.
This is the case which His Honor de
ferred from time to time, in default of
competent witnesses. We are no longer
at a loss to account for such precaution.
What wc considered an important trial
proves to be Holland vs. Mayor and Coun
cil of Atlanta. His Honor had issued
subpoenas for the appearance of some of
the crown princes, and was awaiting their
arrival. They were very indignant that
any portion of tier Vaterland should be
assailed lor an offense, but so it was, and
they deposited 85 a donation to the im
migration fund.
SAMUEL LOWE,
A youth of Una degree, was tbe rebel who
instigated Holland to insult the people
of Atlanta on the sacred Sabbath. Pe
nalty: 86.00. 86.00—80.00, 81.00. Here
is the difference of offense between the
instigator and tho perpetrator. If there
be a modern Blackstone, let him note
this as an authoritative precedent.
FRANK LONO
hitched his horse too long on tho side
walk. He pleaded ignorance of the law,
and was permitted to pay costs. Frank
was the sablo brother of Miss Lucy, the
famous cradle rocker.
THAT SAME YOUTH,
To “fortune and fame unknown,” bids
fair to become very notorious. He was
discovered the lost moonsbiny night, on
Peters street improvising thus :
Fonrtli Ward Dcmo< rulli Meeting.
The Democrats of the Fourth Ward
met last evening at the Medical College—
Capt. Howell in the Chair.
Marcns A. Bell, as Chairman of the
Committee to consult with tho Central
Committee, to determine upon manner
in which tbe nomination for Mayor and
Councilman should be conducted, report
ed that the Wards would bold ojxn the
polls on Friday evening between the
houn of two aud seven o’clock. The
nominations would be consolidated the
nezt day at tho City Hall. Report ac
cepted and action of Ceutrol Committee
ratified.
Chairman Howell appointed us man
agers Daniel Pittman, M. W. Raspberry,
James Mann; Clerks, Bod Elyea, Dr.
Judaon, J. F. Edwards, the nomination
to take place in the Willingham build
ing, on Decatur street.
The meeting was then addressed by
CoL Glenn, Captain Newman, Marcus A.
Bell, and others, all of whom expressed
themselves in favor of true and tried
Democrats now and forever.
In response to this piteous, heart-rend
ing appeal, one of the city officials sat
down beside him and caressed him, but
he continued:
Ho . was right. His revery was un
fathomable. The city gentleman was
touched. He conveyed him from tho
peril that threatened him. For fear
that such talents might languish
in obscurity, the youth was invi
ted to His Honor’s reception, whore
he might secure the Mayor for his lite
rary patron. His Honor commended his
talents, bat stated that snob improvisa
tion was conducive to lunacy, and charged
him 85 and costs. Oh I the obstacles
that embarrass youthful genius!
FELIX SMITH
threw some offensive matter ou the street,
yet he was happy, until he paid costs. It
is a pity that
JOS. LKADDEITEIl
docs not lead better life. He left home
ou Monday moruiug with 84.00, and re
turned drunk as a brick. Three min
strels were summoned, who testified that
he tras a hopeless case—he had grown
old and hardened in sin. One of them
said;
"I knows woman, pslr and slight,
With hpart in hopeless mood,
Who often tolls throughout the night
To earn her husband’s food.
Wlills hs In strength of maahood’s power,
Homo gey esloou will eeek,
Aud speud more money in su hour
Then she esrnsin s week."
Lowry knew she meant the man's wife,
aud with heart beating for suffering hu
manity, he asked the savage to pay 810
and costs for being such a barbarian.
That civilized him.
Pat Fitzgibbon, Jr., anon attwhe of
tho Court, bumped his head, which was
the signal for adjourning.

first decided so. Afterwards, tbe meas
urement was disputed by the R. E. Lee’s,

to play over, to which the R. E. Leo
consented; but they were careful uot to
put in their appearance. Tho local edi
tor of the Era, in that paper, seems to
corroborate thia statement as wo get it
from an officer of our Fire C< mpany.—
1 Vest Point Netrs.
We are almost sorry that tho West
Point boys got beaten in tbe test mode
in tliis city last week. They had two fair
trials, and were beaten in both. They
ought now to be satisfied. They had
nothing but fair dealing. Atlanta fire
men aro competent for naught else. We
are sure they will be sorry that they beat
West Point when they know how hard it
goes with the West Point boys. Wo
hope they will have better luck next
time.

Charleston Railroad bridge, about four
teen miles above this city, and that he
last year rented it to Mr. Lumpkin Zetler,
formerly of Effingham county, Georgia.
This year, it is said, Mr. DeMoutmollin
notified Mr. Zetler that lie wished him
to vacate the premises, wliioh Mr. Zetler
refused to do.
another version
is that Mr. DeMuiitinolliu stated to Mr.
Zetler that he must not sub-let the place
or a part of it to negroes. However,
Mr. Zetler is said to have taken no par
ticular notice of either one or the otuer,
or both of Mr. DeMontmollin’s requests.
The difficulty grew out of ou attempt on
the part of Mr. DeMontmoUin to enforce
his demand.
About oue week ago, Mr. Demout-
molliu weut to the plantation and
FORCIHLY EJECTED
Mr. Zetler aud a number of the negroes
working on the place. There is no Mag
istrate’s Court in that neighborhood, and
as a number of negroes decided to remain
and work fur DeMontmoUin on the same
terms os they had been working for Mr,
Zetler, and as qniePseemed to have been
restored, Mr. DeMontmoUin returned
to Savannah. Two or three days ago,
bowever, tbe negroes who bad abaudoued
the plautation with Mr. Zetler,
DECIDED TO RETURN
and drive off thoae at work for DeMont-
mollin. The hitter named gentleman
immediately left the city, and, accom
panied by Mr. W. A. Kent aud a Mr.
Henry Slyer, encamped on tbe plantation
within the ruins of an old Confederate
rifle-pit, there being no boose on the
estate. This rifle-pit they in part re
paired, in order to
RESIST AN ATTACK,
should one he made by the negroes. A
colored man named Stonewall Jackson,
one of Mr. DeMontmollin’s servants,
who encamped with them, yesterday
morning about daylight went down tbe
river to catch Borne fish for breakfast.
Whilst there he heard
A ROAR OF MUSKETRY
in tbe direction of the camp where he
had left tbe three white gentleman sleep
ing. From the noise made by the dis
charge of the guns, Jackson is under the
impression that there were at least one
hundred shots fired. Jackson immedi
ately hastened to tho shore, iutending to
reach the camp, but by tbe time he had
walked a few yards, he heard tho negroes
shouting aud cursing
“THAT WHITE MAN’S NIGGER,”
and knowing that the band of outlaws
referred to him, he returned to tbe river
bank and concealed himself in tbe boshes.
Presently tho shouts, cheers and curses,
commingled, became still more distinct,
and soon after about two hundred blacks
passed, bearing Mr. Slyer on a litter,
and guarding Mr. DeMontmoUin and
Mr. Kent, who were profusely bleeding
from their wounds, down to the river.
After placing them in tho boat, the ne
groes divided, somo of them going in the
direetion of the rifle-pit, the others leap
ing into a numb er of small boats, rowed
down the river. Some distance from tbe
landing where the ’negroes took to the
boats, the river makes a bend to tbe
northeast. From this point to where the
negro(Jackson) was concealed could be
heard,the cheers of the assassins and tbe
words
“GO TO BLUFFTON,”
from which it is inferred that the whito
men were carried to that place, for what
purpose is not known, perhaps to give
tbo victims a burial iu some out of tbo
way place. Jackson in time left the
bushes where ho was concealed, and went
up the river some distance uutil be found
a boat nnd palled himself to Purysburg.
He was accompanied by a white boy and
a negro from the Carolina side of the
river, and when the steamer Rosa made
the landing they stepped aboard aud were
brought to this city last evening.”
Tbo Newt, ot Tuesday, has tho
following additional particulars of the
affair:
From Major Arthur, commanding a
detachment of United States troops,
which were dispatched on yesterday to
tbe Beene of the recent troubles on the
DeMontmoUin plantation to investigate
tho matter, we learn that the difficulty
was not of such a serious nature ss was
at first supposed.
It appears from the statement of tho
Major, that tho negroes who did the
shooting went to the plantation armed
with legal doemnentsissued from a negro
justice in Bluftton, for the purpose of
dispossessing Mr. DeMontmoUin, and
meeting with resistance, fired upon tbe
whites, as stated yesterday, wounding
thorn all. Mr. DeMontmoUin and Kent
aro but sUglitly wounded. Mr. Slyer,
however, is supposed to be mortally
wounded.
The white gentlemen were conveyed
to Bluffton, and are now under arrest, in
pursuance of pnpors from the negro
magistrate, and until their release is ef
fected, a correct history of the matter is
hardly possible.
Two of tbe citizens who went from this
city yesterdny, proceeded beyond the
plautation in the direction of Bluffton,
and tbe others returned on the 5| train
yesterday afternoon.
Notwithstanding the information ini-
parted by Major Arthur, on his return
last night, many rumors are still iu cir
culation, nearly all of them differing ma
terially in point of information.
Tho following is a oonrier dispateh re
ceived by onr reporter at a late hour last
night, and which, of course, is the latest
nows from tho front:
Everything on plantation all right
with tho exception that numbers of ne
groes aro about the place, armed. Mrs.
DeMontmoUin was taken from the next
place, (some two miles off,) and carried
with L. H. DeMontmoUin. Tkcnr have
taken them with Slyer and Kent to
Bluffton. Ho, (L. H. DeM.) is not
wounded as had as supposed. Kent is
only wounded slightly, hut Slyer is mor-
taUy wounded. I will not rctuni until I
can givo you full particulars.
