jlDWIN MARTIN, Proprietor, Devoted to Home Interests and Culture. TWODOULARS A Year in Advance, VOLUME IX. PERRY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1879. j NUMBER 37 the AFGHAN REVOLT AGAINST THE BRITISH. The startling announcement cornea by cable of an insurrection in Cnbni, tbe capital of Afghanistan, tbe plundering of the arsenal of the Ameer by mutin ous soldiery and the populace, and al- go of attack made npon tbe britisb Em- bj.gy and its military escort, and of tbe nnsvailing effort of the Ameer to quell tba outbreak. Such news as this must have been a matter of profonnd sur prise to tbe British public, which has been led to believe that the Afghan war was over, that a scientific frontier had been secured, and that Earl Beacons- field’s famous phrase that the object of Her Majesty’s gavernment was to obtain “peace with honor” was justified by the result. It now appears to be quite probable that the only solution of this new outbreak is the conquest of the whole of Afghanistan, from the fron tiers of Beloocbistan to those of Turkes tan. The whole story, the rising of the soldiery and the populace, the attack on tbe members of the British Embassy, the desperate defen 1 e made by them, sad the fearful straits to which at last accounts they were reduced-leaving no Lope of their rescue—recalls vividly the similar rising of the Afghan soldiery in 1811-42, cutting off the British supply columns, and of its ending in the terri ble massacre of the retreating British forces in the Koordi-Cabul pass, where in spite of promises of safe conduct, out of 4,500 men of all arms, only one man escaped alive. It is remarkable that with the knowledge of this terrible slaughter of tiio entire British force that bad entered ‘he city of Cabul as con querors, and of the treachery that made such a slaughter possible, the British Embassy, consisting of Major Cavngna- li and three other persons, should have been allowed to leave Jellalabad for Ca bal under so small a military escort as fifty infantry soldiers and twenty six cavalrymen. That the Embassy should rcuch Cabul unmolested, and that Ma jor Cavagnari should report, underdate of August 18th, the submissive action of the Ameer in respect to tbe letters sent to him by General Kaufman, the Russian commander in Turkestan, only serves to show that if intrigues were then on foot to incite the Afghan sol diers to rebel, as will probably prove ti be the case, they were kept profound ly secret. The orders since issued bf the Viceroy of Iudia for the seizure of the passes, and the concentration of the British troops under General Stewart at Caudahar. while General Roberts ad vances through the Peiwar pass to Ca- bul wi‘,h all the forces tinder his com mand, is a proof of tbe alarm which the insurrection in Cabul and the probable massacre of the British Embassy has created among the authorities in India, and the almost feverish energy with which it has inspired them. In 1842, when after the massacre of the British army in the Koordi-Cabul pass, it was determined to recapture Cabul, and so vindicate the honor of the Britisb arms, it took General Pollock four weeks to reach Cabul from Jellnlabnd; and al though General Roberts may not meet with similar opposition, he cannot even now appear before the gates of Cabal, if circumstances shonld peculiarly favor him, under a less period than two vreeks,—Baltimore Sun. A Lost Child Found by a Dog.—In llilkauweo on Monday evening a little hoy, three years old, was missing, and his parents became alaimed. A fine Newfoundland shared in their anxiety, and joined in the search through the neighboring streets. He soon gave a joyous bark, and the father joining him found that the boy, tired by bis wau derings, bad crawled benen th the step plate between the sidewalk and the crossing, and was fast asleep, The dog’s jcy at his successful hunt was skated by the rest of family. Arrangements for laying the corner stone of the monument to Sergeant Wil liam Jasper, of the revolutionary army, Tho fell at the seige of Savannah on the 9th of October, 1779, on the centennial of that event, are completed. Tbe Governor of this and other states will be present and an oration delivered by SemtorUohn B. Gordon. Iuvitatious have been extended to the military throughout the union and citizens gen- er ®Uy. Railroads have made especial low rates, and the indications are that there will be an immense gathering. WESTERN WILDS, And The Men Who Redeem Them. An Authentic Narrative, Embracing an Acconnt of Seven Years Travels and Adventure in the Far West. By J. H. Beadle, Author of “Life in Utah;” Western Correspondent Cincinnati Com mercial, ect. Illustrated. Jokes Bboth- ER8 & Co., Cincinnati, Chicago, Phila delphia. 1878. The time when the country west of the Mississsppi river had no past and no material for the record of history, is within the memory of thousands now living. The land of the tawny, wild- rushing Colorado; of the delightful val- ley of the Yosemite and the wonders of Golden Gate, were unknown to ns ex cept by dim tradition a half a century ago. Now the Panorama' of this im mense territory discloses the America Eldorado, not only in Precious metals, but in a fruitful soil and a genial cli mate; not only in pure, health-restor ing atmosphere, but in the most easily accessible means of rapid fortune. Its history is more entrancing than any ro mance. Every interesting locality in this ter ritory was visited by Mr. Beadle. He investigated its advantages and disad vantages, and duly recorded every im portant fact relating to its people, its resources and prospects. His book iR the carefully compiled outcome of sev en years travel, observation, inquiry and experience in the Far West, Un der the treatment of Mr. Beadle it has resulted in the most fascinating book of history, anecdote, and adventure we have ever read, and addresses itself to readers everj-where abundant promises of instruction and amusement. The impression created by the suc cessive chapters is that of an eatertain ing narrative, very picturesque and full of surprises; but at the close, one finds it has contributed to his miud a store of information not elsewhere obtainable, land which is of more than t rJinary value because it forms one of the most important segments of American an nals. Its newness, as the record o! people, heretofore unknown in our his tory, its courage, independence, aiid bold dashes at error; its transcripts of strange in' erviews with notorious out- lav/s, rangers and frontiers men; its hair breadth escapes and funny documems; its facts, humor, figures, pathos and el oquent decriptious its fine maps and appropriate illustrations—all "'unite to stamp it with originality of conception, brillian t execution, and a masterly com prehension of the true art of book mak ing. The purely historical portion antedate argonauts of ’49, and record all Pacific coast, overland, and mining affairs from the beginning. It includes the rise and fall of “cities;” the origin, progress and decline of Mr.rmonism, with its hundred tragical incidents; the various Indian out-breaks; building the Pacific railroad; exploits of scouts and prospec tors; campaigns of Custer, etc.; and its record of thrilling adventures and gal- aut deeds is more absorbing than any thing in the language. It is a book of more than six hun dred pages, and it is, therefore, useless for us to attempt anything like an ade quate review of its contents in these col umns. Its illustrations, of which there are one hundred and twenty-seven, are elegant and appropriate, and, all to gether, it is not only one of the most interesting, but one of the handsomest volumes everjissued from the American dress. Akotheb Chahce fob Grant.—It is ru mored that the Emperor of China has solicited General Grant to take com mand of the Mongolian army, and to make the offer a tempting one, the moon-eyed monarch has mentioned matter of §1,000,000 a year as a fair compensation for tho service. Except General Grant, there is no man alive to whom the confirmation of this story would assume greater pleasure than Mr John Sherman. The sensation along his spinal column would give his Presi dential hopes a boost that would last a week in the most adverse wind.—Bar risburg Patriot. THE XTHERY TROUBLES. A correspondent of the Boston Herald, writing from Halifax, gives the views which Captain Babson will embody in his report to the State Department on the fishery question. This officer was sent to find the causes that have led to bad blood between the American fishermen and those of Newfoundland and the Dominion. He found that the feeling against the American fisher men is no more than the world-old feel ing of any class of laborers against la- bor-saviug appliances. They are net tled by the American energy, and be cause their competitors in the race for wealth are better fitted for the contest than themselves, The only privileges the Americans enjoy^in Newfoundland is tbe merely commercial one of-coming in to porebase bait. There is a class of colonial fishermen who make the for tunes of influential merchaants by buys their sopplies of them on credit and pay ing with fish at the end of the season. The American practice of purchasing bait has caused these men, for the lure of the American ready money, to al most abandon their codfisbing and de vote their entire energies to catching bait. Such practice results in the tra der, at the close of the season, being minus of the supplies advanced to the fishermen. Consequently a wealthy clasR of traders, men who make a doub le profit, first on the supplies advanced rn the fish in which they are paid, have thrown themselves into the opposition, and taken advantage of the discontent of the fishermen at the better equip ments of tlieir American competitors to foster the feeling that the Americans are damaging the fisheries, and ton measure encourage open resistence to the yaukees. In conclusion, Captain Babson thinks that if the treaty be abrogated Americans and American fishermen will not suffer, and that any continuance upon the present .prepos terous financial basis would be not only utterly nncalled for by the facts, but most highly injudicious.— Philadelphia Record.

The course of affairs in Yazoo coun ty, Mississippi, since the killing of Dix on, gives tbe lie to the statement that he was killed merely because he oppos ed the regular Democratic ticket, A full Independent ticket was nominated against the regular Democracy and still in the field.

W. Smith, by giving it’arse nic. After the death ofi the child she was employed in the family of Mr. D Farrell,„where she gave^a little boy, six years old, a glass of milk. The child was takenjcick, but. prompt treatment saved his life. The contei.ti of the stomach of the Smith child having been analyzed, arsenic was found to be the cause of death. The mmderess is a large, active, bright looking woman, but at times, when taken unawares, a demoniac 1 light* shines in her eyes. She claims to be a prophet, and had predicted a death in the Smith fami ly. *** The printing;bill regulating rates for legal advertising, which has passed both houses, fixes the rates for all ad vertising emanating from tbe offices of the sheriff, clerk, ordinary and marshals of the towns and cities, at 65 cents of each insertion of one hundred words for tho first month an advertisement runs, and for each subseqnei.t insertion the fee is 35 cents per hundred words. The bili makes it extortion for any officer to collect any otLer or greater sum, and makes it penal to retain any part of the fee as commissions. Four-fifths of the national bank cir culation is in the Eastern States. The Boston banks alone have over twelve per cent, of the entire circulation of the country, The amount of the circula tion of the Boston national bonks dur ing the fiscal year was §28,325,000, while the circulation of the New York banks was bnt §22,086,000, and of the Chicago banks but §565,000. - These figures help to show the localities that profited most by speculation and the necessities of the government in time of war. Where the bonds are, there is also tbe greatest banking capital. New uses for the telephone are being discovered every day. At North Dana, Massachusetts, a telephone connects the room of a sick lady with the pulpit of the church in which she- was accus tomed to worship when in the enjoy ment of health. She is now able to hear the sermon and singing, although confined to her bed a long distance from the chnrch. WORM-PROOP COTTON. A Mr. White, of Texas lias discovered a new kind of cotton which he claims is entirely worm-proof, and which is said to be of excellent quality. The Financial Chronicle says of it: “The writer examined the cotton growing. The stalks were large and healtny, a brownish red aolor, the leaf resembling ordinary cotton, with a very rank weed odor, the bolls were larger than ordinary cotton and well filled with lint. In the centre of each boll thers is a small pod containing, evidently, the seed. When the boll is fully opened this pod of seed is also opened, and the seed drop ont, leaving the lint cot ton in the boll. The Bolls will all ma. ture in a few days of each other. This the planter could remedy by planting at different times. Mr W. says the cotton can be picked within one hundred days after planting. Mr.W bite has taken of ordinary cotton with cotton worms at work upon them, placed them in and alongside of his cotton, so that the worm conld easily get on his cotton, bat in no instance did they cut any of the leaves, stalk or boll of his cctton. He has gathered the worms from other cot ton stalks and placed them on his cot ton with the same resuit, and feels very confident that no worm will ever touch it. Should Mr White’s discovery prove to be what he claims for it, absolutely worm-proof—aud upon this he has no fears—the value and importance of the discovery cannot easily be estimated, es pecially in the old cotton belt. Gen. Ord, of Texas, recently sent to the Springfield Mass, armory a piece of meteor picked up in Mexico some time ago, with the request that it be made into a sword for himself. The piece is composed of iron mainly,hut it is so soft and brittle that tLe workmen find it- very dfficult to harden the met al snfficieu'ly for the blade, though they will probably be able to finish it in good shape. The Philadelphia Times suggests that good way to prevent strikes in the Fall river, Massachusetts, mills is to stop the stealing of the mill treasurers and to pay the operatives better wages. The Times holds that if the stealing is stopped the mills can afford to pay bet ter wages. But the trouble is they would have to hang all the pious rndi cals in New England before they can stop the stealing. The Flobida Ship Cakal.—Mr Con over, now in Washington city, says that the people of Florida, at the present time, are full of the questions of the building of a ship canal across the State, lie says that the Railroad interest of the State are opposing to the canal project* but it is his opinion that the people at large are favorable to its construction* aud that there will be an extra session of the Legislature called to give the ca nal company the necessary charter, to proceed with the work. A wagon train has been established between Macon and Butler for the trans portation of goods and to avoid the pay ment of freight on the railroad.— A few days ago a trip was made and a saving of 33 J per cent, was realiz ed. It is stated that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Duke of Maryborough, has made a special request of the police au thorities of Limerick to make a special report of the circumstances under which Mr. Charles Stewart Parnell, M. P., allowed the toast, “The Queen,” to be hissed at a late banquet in Meatj, at which he was present. A man in Kansas who represented himself as a “practieol farmer” visited all the fairs with a prize pumpkin, and took the premium every time. It meas ured seven feet aroaud and weighed 230 ponnds. Several days ago, at Council Grove, a rival farmer attempted to tap the pnmpkin in theabscence of its own er, to get some of the seeds, and he dis. covered that it was made of wood. This beats the ingenious Connecticut inven tion of bass-wood cucumber seed. PREMIUM LIST OF THE HOUSTON COUNTY FAIR, TO BE HELD AT Perry, Georgia, Wednesday and Thursday, OCTOBER 1st and 2nd, 1879.
