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. From Kauaaa. Advices from Kaoaas state that, at the elec tion at Lawrence, on the 13th of June, tbe fol lowing municipal ticket was elected: For Mayor—J. Blood, fur Aldermen—W. Hutchins, Win A. Phillips, G.

We are pleased, too, to say to the ladle# of Atlanta, that arrangement# have been made by which they can procure a supply of these fine peaches on the arrival of the cars from Montgomery. Messrs.

Th<- stock was increased last year to #1,000,000. Tint is one of the few road* constructed in the South that does not point to a aeaboard market, and yet it is one ol the moat profita ble in the South. The amount of freight ceived from cotton is only about one tenth of it* en'ir# business. This road, too, t* on :• line with tin- propos.1 Air-Line Road, and stands in tbe same relation to tho interior Made ol the country that the latter does, and in no event or contingency can the Air-Li«e R id fail to enjoy an equally profitable traffic will; it ; for, it is a remarkable fact and one plain to be seen, as profitable as the La- Grange Hoad now is, when we look toother r .ads, now being projected and constructed \ rlh and South of it, unless tbe Air-Line i,i; constructed, it must, in a very few years, ' .estnetedtoa very narrow local business.

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.

July 15 — From reliable private advicea received yesterday, front Montezuma, Powe- *bok connty, I learn that jnob force bun* gain trlumptud in lorn, awl that,too under tat wTy shadow of the majesty of tbe law. — statements of several individuals I the bUowitut to be tba true drew the ease: Early last Call a Wilder M oolemma _ # 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- n ah G tor glim. A Biwdy Hoi-sx Brouzs Opz.x and Sat k ed.*—A large three story lead colored brick 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 day# ago, that the attack would be made on the evening in question; aud the police of ficers were present, hut none of them in any way interfered.—St. Damn Herald. ttaif Vn eastern editor says that a man in New York got himself into trouble by mar rying two wives. A western editor replies by assuring his coternporary that n good many men in that section-have done the same thing by marrying r>ne. A northern editor retorts that qtite a number ot bis acquaint, aneea found trouble enough by barely prom ising to marry without going spy further.— A southern editor says that s friend of hi, was bothered enough by simply being found in company with another man's wife.- A heavy German lady, whose husband was engaged in a fight with another man both the belligerents having fallen to the ground ii> close embrace—deliberately *al down on the heads of the combatants.

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.

'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, 'Wit instant: 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. A .Savk Man to Insi kk.—By a steam boat explosion on a Western river, a passen ger was thrown unhurt into th*' water, and at once struck nut lustly for iheslmrc,blow ing like a porpoise all tho while.
