Peachei Again
Out gfneron* friend, Mr. CLatlrsPack
uiJ, of Adams Sc Co’s Express Lin*, pre
sented us on yesterday a lot ot the finest
peaches that we hav* ever seea—in »ne,
remarkably large, and locious as peache*
possibly can be. .These peaches, We are »d-
vt»ed, were grown by Mrs. Baldwin, of
Montgomery, Alabama, a lady whom w«
should like to compliment on her enterprixe
ind cuccess in cultivating this fins fruit,
t'.iilJ we do so in appropriate terras ; but
really we are at a loss now tor words to do
o. Talk of your grain and cotton growers,
and the success attending them, as you may;
but give to the country only a few more Mrs
Baldwins, and our word for it the home
steads of our farmers, would be doubly en
deared to them, and there w ould be much
less of ‘ fever and ague ’ around and about
them, and in our cities or their vicinity dur
ing the iummer month*.
Augusta, whoss ridiculous and implacable
jsslousy of Atlanta and the up-country gen
erally, and whose narrow-minded policy re
strain them now, ond will, we fear, ever re-
stain them, Aom ilotng jttatice to Uic Air-
Line Road. Thut Map feeling, too, carries
thpm a step further, andMMflnences them not
only to disregard the best intetMtn..iof com
tnerrc and the country, but it blind
the tact that units* the Air-Line Hail Road
bo constructed, and that speedily, their own
interests will greatly tuffer. It is plain to
be seen they occupy the position of one
“ who bites oil his nose to spile his laco.”
W« regret to say it. but it is a plain case
these eapitalists mean to fight all our up-
country interests—our Hanks, om Kail
Roads, and every enterpn/.e in >vhieh they
have no direct interest, or in which they
hava invested no capital. 11 the gulden
spout does not point directly to them, and
into their well filled coders, the up-country
must look for their opposition ; that oppo#i
tion may not be open, but its secrecy will
destroy none of its force. The most impor
tant interests of the up-country are with
them a* chad when they cast their eyrs up
on their golden pile. With them monopoly
is the watchword. Our people must wake
up to this state offsets. Middle, Southern,
Western, and Northern Georgia have- paid
tribute too long. No little association ol
capitalists, governed by a narrow, selfish,
and withal, a mistaken policy, should be
permitted io control rhe agricultural wealth
of the State. No local combination of capi
talists should be permitted to say to the
combined wealth, and lab*r, and enterpnze
of all other portions of tho State, “thus far
shall thou come and no farther!” There
must be action on th* part of the people to
rasi*t this domination, and they have only
to know it, to resist it. Augusta capitalist*
cannot always dictate the internal improve
ment, and financial policy ot all Georgia,
and wt- tell them this that they may prepare
for an early future.
But we have spoken of the prosperity of
the LaGtange Road, at the ouUet of the art
tide. We are glad that it is in a prosper
ous condition. We should dislike to see it
report-d otherwise, for we recagniso in Mr.
G*o. G. Hull, an accomplished, energetic,
and able .Superintendent—a gentleman ever
watchful of the interests of tho Company;
prompt io the transaction ul‘ buainea* ; and
courteoita to all. We do not therefore won
der at the popularity of this road with the
traveling public, nor at its successful man
agement, knowing a* we do under who»p
management it is.

Tint is one of the few road* constructed

Hieholat Longu urlh cirrested for not .41,hie
ing the Inspector to Examine Catawba HTne.
As we mentioned last week, Dr. Hiram Cox
has declared Uis determination to do his duty
as a regularly appointed Inspector ol Liquors
at all hazards, to prevent the good people of
Ohio from being poisoned in the mystertuus
manner peculiar to the time of Borgias.—
The venerable doctor has found considerable
trouble in inducing parties to submit to an
inspection ; said psrl*os protesting against
Jus judgment and knowledge, and asserting
his unfitness for the office.
On Saturday the Doctor had a warrant is
sued for the arrest of Nicholas Longworth
who had refused to allow the Inspector to
examine his famous Catawba Wines. ‘ Old
Nick,' as he is sometimes called in plea
santry, was found working in Uis grapery,
but had to come, ana did come, before Es
quire Fisher, and there give bail fur his ap
pearance in the sum of five hundred dollars,
next Saturday, James T. Elliott going hi
security.
Mr. Longworth was indignant against
Father Cox, and told him passionately that
he was a jackass, and would, wc believe, had
he bee n a little younger and Cox not quite
*o old, have given the Doctor an idea of
the • noble and manly art of self-defence.’
Matters looked favorable several times for a
pugilt-ttr encounter, but oil was finally
poure.i upon tbe troubled waters.—Cincin
nati Gazette, July 20.
Indum Cunning—Euppiet iu Children.—
At the lower Sioux Agency on the 1st of
July, there were -2,500 Indians collected t
receive their annuities from Government.—
The payments are made to the families iu
proportion to their numbers, and the unscru
pulous among them resort to novel expedi
ents to increase tho number of their register
ed progeny, sometimes dressing up puppie,
and placing them on the barks of their
squaws, which have been duly registered as
children.
tudden Death.—Just as the train arrived
at Wartracs on Saturday last, i8th instant,
from Nashville, Mr. John W. White, a pas
senger to Ringgold, Ga , died suddenly. He
had been afflicted with the Dropsy for a
number of years. His wife and children
were lull destitute, Iiavjffg hut eight dollars
in money. Tbe citizens of Wartrace, though
few in number, yet kind and benevolent,
soon raised her #75, »nd thus relieved her
dire necessity. This noble and generous

who were traveling, were murdered in cold
blood for thr sake of gain. Two persons of
do conkble no'oriety were suspected, aod af
ter soar delay the elder one—Thomas by
name—was arrested The cvklenco which
was mainly circumstantial, bein. strong a-
uainst him at the preliminary uxnmiuation
Iteforo the magistrate, lie was bound over to
appear at tlie next term of the District Court
to answer the charge Threats of a vindictive
diameter were undo at tho time, and it was
difficult to restrain him from being wrested
from tbe bands of tbe officers and summary
punishment inflicted on him. The prisoner
win remanded to jail to await his trial at the
present July term.
Yesterday, July 14, was the day sot opart
for his trial, and at thrt time ho by his coun
sel, applied for a change of venuo. In tbe
meantime the mol) hearing of this, collected
together at the door of tho Court House,
(mini he rim? some two hundred strong), aud as
soon as the prisoner's application was granted,
made a rush to the door, overpowered the
sborilt and the f.-w who were willing to as
sist him in maintaining order, seized tho pris
oner and carried him ofl'in triumph a short
distance from the town to the nearest limb,
tied n rope to his neck, and proceeded to the
iotliction of the punishment. Thro times was
be let down and drawu up again,ho all the
time persisting iu bis innocence. But bis
life's blood was tho only sacrifice which would
atone fur tbe horrible crime.
He hung till life was extinct. The body
was then cut down, a hole was dug outlie
spot, and without further ceremony wag
tfirowu io, and the prarie sod hid from tbe
light of day the hideous sight.
Nor did the vagaries of the mob tud here,
for like the tiger, its rapacity was only kin
dled by blood Incredible as it may appear—
bat it is substantiated by various witnesses—
the Prosecuting Attorney of tbs county was
arraigned before the Judge Lynch fur having
incurred their displeasure in tbe prosecution
of tbe case, thinking that he was not over
zealous for a conviction. '1 he question was
then pat whether or not be, too, should bang
on the same tree. Tbe vote stood two to one
for banging ; but they were finally irduced to
defer it till the next day.
Tbe greatest excitement prevails, The
Court was adjourned tine die, and business of
almost every kind suspeudtd. Where ia this
spirit of lawless violence to eud ?. it M be
coming more and more frequent. Oniy re
ccntly we heard or a similar, if not more fear
ful exhibition of tbe same spirit iu Jackson
county, in this Btate, and if it is left to its
own ccurse, where will it end?
Judge IIrow* Coming.
We arc informed upon competent and ro
uble authority, that Judge Brown will visit
this portion of Georgia during the early part
of next month.
He may be expected to address the people
of Chatham at this point, about the 10th of
August, and the people of the surrounding
country after that time. For the informa
tion ot our friends in the country we will
publish sometime next week, the time and
places at which he may be expected to
speak.
In the meantime lie is going into the 4th
district where the “ Ajax of the mountains”
lives, and though from the noise and brag
ging that the know Nothing papers #f Geor
gia are filled with about “ Our Ben” and
the terrible manner in which he annihilates
all political opponents, jieople at a distance
might suppose this a very dangerous under
taking, nobody here lias any fears as to the
result.
The good hard sense and practical manner
of Judge Brown, with the facts and argu
ments at his command, will prove a most
excellent toil to the dap-trap eloquence of
Mr. Hill.
We hope the people will turn out and
give Judge Brown a hearty welcome. We
do not want all the w omen and children to
be present when hi speaks, nor do we de
sire that he should be pelted w ith boqueta
and smothered in flowers. All sudi demon
strations may be saved for the youijg Her
cules, whose arguments always nave a pow
erful effect < judging from his party papers)
on the women ami children. But wo would
that every honest and intelligent voter in
the county should he present to give him an
impartial hearing, and to decide upon the
merits of the cause lie advocates.—Sutun-

A Biwdy Hoi-sx Brouzs Opz.x and Sat k

building on the north side of Morgan street,
a.few. doors above Eleventh, occupied and
used by a Miss Bellford as an assignation
house, was broken open night before last
by a crowd of well dressed men, and its en
tire contents broken up and destroyed. The
house contained twelve rooms, luxuriously
and extravagantly furnished—probably equal
to any other house m tho city—all of winch,
with the exception of the carpets, was de
liberately and completely destroyed in de
tail. Numbers of splendid mirrors, costing
a hundred dollars each, with marble top ra
bies and stands, sofas, choirs, etc., yester
day morning presented an midtatinguisha-
hie mass of broken glass, wood and stone.
The parties engaged in this affair are p
sons of respectability residing in the neigh
borhood, who »ay during the past two wseka
they have used great efforts and exhausted
every means, in vain, to rid themsslves of
this nuisance without resorting to violence.
Notice was given to the parties, gome ten

the evening in question; aud the police of

After going to several places fie fouuil a
white silk dontino with a ca|i ornamental with
a white red and blue fcatlicr, and u band of
the same three colofs, which had been made
expressly to order; but as It had not been cal
led for at the hour named, the shopkeeper
Imd no scruples about disposing of the-*) nrti-
011*1.
The young lieutenant was soon equipped,
and in a quarter ol un hour was among the
masked guests iu the royul east lei He had hard
ly walked through tt:o rooms, when a young
la ly dressed exactly aa he was, came quickly
towards him, seized him by his arm, und whis
pered—
‘For mercy’s Bake, wliero have you been? I
have waited this hoar. Now, make haste, und
awayl” , r *v»»
She drew him quickly imo the hull and down
the staircase. The officer yielded willingly, for
tlie slender form, the white rounded arm, and
sweet youthful voice, of his companion, gave
promise of rare loveliness,- and the adventure
was to his taste.
At her bidding he called one ot the hackney
coaches thut stopped at the door, and helped
her in, then pausing, with his fool on the step,
usked where he should direct the man to drive
to?”
‘I do not understand you!" cried thcluty
in a tone of reproach; ‘why you know to Bran-
on berg!"
The Lieutenant Von R., whispered to the
coachman to drive out to the farthest gate,und
slop at the farthest inn—and sprang into the
carriage.
‘Ab, Fierro!”exclaimed tlie lady, now the
step is taken, 1 half repent! You will not ubuse
my confidence!”
Her compauiou assured her that he would
not.
‘Did you fiud any difficulty iu selling my
diamonds?' said site.
‘0, ho! Monsieur Pierre has been selling din
rnouda said theoffieertobimself;aud w ho knows
wbat he has doue with the money?"
He began to feel compassion fur the deceiv
ed one—aud to ponder how he should break
the truth to her. To her reproach lor his si
lence, he answered—
‘1 must coutess that the step wbieb we Imre
taken—"
‘Have you not [urged uie to it?’cried the la
dy quickly. • You cuuuot forget how reluctant
ly 1 consented.*
‘it is not too late to return; the step can be
retraced without awakening suspicion,’ said
tbe geutleinan iu his natural vsice.
'Gracious heavens! who are you?’ cried the
lady, in the wildest terror. ‘How came you in
that dress, which lias enabled yon so to deceive
me?"
The Lieut, explained all, aud dwelt on the
supposition that the lover she expected had
gouo off with her jewels. He concluded by u.l-
vising her immediate return to the ball before
her absence could ba noticed
Ou their way back, the lady showed bur con
fidence in bis honor by revealing her name-—
She was the daughter ol tbe Aiitdster Von B.
Her lover was her father’s secretary, a French
emigrant, who pretended to be of noble family
and despairing of the parental consent, had
persuaded h«r to au elopemeut for the purpo-o
of a private marriage.
They reached the castle in good time, and
the fair Mademoiselle Von It. was soou rniug-
liag among the dancers, not oue of whom was
the wiser for her absence.
Tbe romautic adventure ended in her mar
riage to the i fficir; for nothing was ever heard
of the other.
Serious Divkicultv.—Wc regret'to learn
that on yesterday a difficulty occurred in our
city between C. L. Muslin, President of the
Muscogee railroad, and James Garrard, late
receiving and forwarding agent of the road,
at this place, in which llm former w as shot
in the heel by a pistol ball, inflicting a very
serious and painful, though probably not
fatal wound. The circustancca as related
to us ate substantially us follows: Garrard
met Muslin near the depot, and alter a few
words passed between them, this former
draw a pistol, which the latter perceiving,
attempted to get out of tho way, being un
armed, and when in the act of retreating hu
was fired upon with the result above stated.
Garrard gave himself up, and waving an
investigation, gave the required bond of two
thousand dollars lor his appearance before
the next Superior Court.— Columbia Sun,

Hanging by thr Dozen.—The Trx.13 Imll-
anolian, ol the 11th instant, says rumors
have reached that place from tho upper coun
try, that the. Vigilance Committee are raking
the country fore and aft, and swinging < very
horse thief and murderer they can find. A
gentleman, says that paper, who came down
the road a few days since, states that he saw
a dozen bodies suspended to one tree, and
on another, five. A great many of ihe des
peradoes have passed through Indianola, on
their way to Netv Orleans—not considering
it healthy for them to remain any lunner.—
If the committee continues, the country
will soon get rid of all the scoundrels that
have so long infested her borders.

day morning Lola took the train lor Buflalu,
and, without advicq from any source, she
seated herself in the baggage ca’t to quietly
puffher cigarette. While thus cosily throw

She paid no attention to the intimation,

up in un attitude of defiance, und told the
conductor that she had travelled alt ovet tin-

so.
The conductor further expostulated with
her, and assured her that lie was hut execu

The conductor withdrew, and Lola was not

By these, his death is deeply and sincerely
mourned. But mourned as it is by them,
there is a deeper Sorrow overshadowing tho
family. Ids near relatives, with whom he
lived, and surrounded by whom ho died.—
To them lie had ever been dutiful, and ever
kind. They loved him like a son, and like
a brother; and to them, ho was as a son and
as a brother. On the morning following his
decease, attended by a large concourse of
friends, his remains were conveyed to their
last resting place, und in the presence of his
weeping relatives wero consigned to the
grave, llow hard it is to realize the sad
truth, that he is gone! That the body of
our friend lias been consigned to the tomb,
and that his spirit has gone to Hint who gave
it! So young ; looking to so many years
of pleasure aud prosperity ; buoyant with
liojie, nml joyful in anticipation ; ho was cut
down in a moment,—Time giving place to
Eternity ! Alas ! “ what shadows we are,
and what shadows do we pursue!”
