If Athens “ failed” at Rome, as the
Recorder declares, so also did Milledge
ville. If the sense of the Convention
was so “ overwhelming” for that place,
it is a little strange that they gave no
expression to their preference. The
truth is, Milledgeville is adopting the
Chinese mode of warfare, and proposes

Ten Miluojis Counterfeit.—
The New York papers ' estimate that
there are ten millions of counterfeit
national bank bills in circulation, and
within the past few weeks large nu Ol
liers of ‘twenties have been put upon
the generous public, so well executed
as to bear the strongest light. If they
cannot li£ detected they will pass.
' Bad Cotton Prospects. —The ex
cessive rains, following general and
protracted dry weather, are proving
most disastrous to cotton. Through
out the cotton growing States of the
Southwest, the worm is reported, and
tlie late weather will increase its rav
ages. Tlie bolls that escape the worm
will shed, and it is too late for new
forms to mature. The prospect is gGod
for a short crop and long prices.
The Darien Outrage.—The press
of the North of all shades of politics is
disgusted at the late demonstration of
negro presumption and ignorance in
the case of the British bark Grace, at
Darien. All condemn the conduct of
the African Dogberry, by whom the
negro sailors were taken from the ship,
and the ship seized contrary to all rules
of law, right or justice. The New
York Herald says: “ Of course such
a breach of international law could not
pass unnoticed, and notes on the sub
ject are passing thick and fast between
the British Minister and the State De
partment.
14 No Rest for the Wicked.”—
The direct Federal tax for tbe year
ending June 30, 1871, was three hun
dred and eighty-three million three hun-
dred and luenty-lhrtc thousand nine
hundred and forty-four dollar*. That
is over a million a day, Sunday* ut-
eluded. The tax law works on Sun
day, taking no rest, and making over
a million of dollars. Hadn’t that tax
law better be abolished ? We hardly
know of a more pious movement than
that, and we may be counted in.
Bloody Row Between Federal
Soldiers and Negroes.—From the
Wilmington Journal, of Wednesday,
we clip the following:
We learn from passenger* on the
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad that a bloody riot occurred at
Marion, .South Carolina, between the
Federal soldiei s and negroes an Mon
day evening about eight o'clock. There
had. been for sojiie time ill feeling be
tween the negroes and the ooidiers of
the garrison, which terminated Mon
day night in a regular battle. Fire
arms-were ase«l bn both sides. Six er
seven negroes and one soldier were
wounded, some , of the negroes very
badly, probably frtally- L The white
L-i'ireus - of Marion held aloof, aad the
riot was confined entirely to tlie soldiers
ami upgr.ocx. ,
voiced appear to call for somewhat
more of cuergy than has yet been
manifested in its behalf. It was a
fact patent to all that the friends of
Milledgeville in the Convention used
extraordinary means to forestall the
deliberate judgment of the ltody,’ and
to excite prejudice, and array sectional
influences against the University. The
cars were flooded with handbills the
tone of which was derogatory to the
University, anti tlie able s]>okcsman
for Milledgevile—Col. McKinley—
after a grudging recognition of the
merits of the “ old Scotch Presbyterian
School at Athens,” took occasion to
ridicule the recent attempt to “ Ger
manize it,” and to depreciate the fit
ness and capacity of its buildings, and
it* merits generally. We refer to these
incidents of the Convention to show
that tlie Editor does injustice to Athens
and to the representatives of the Uni
versity in the Convention. They sought
lu “ 8500,000 of money, besides at
least 8300,000 more, to build new
houses,Ac.” On the contrary, they
presented the claims of the State Uni
verity—not Athcm—to the Congress
eional grant, with dignity and un
answerable force, without reflecting
on other institutions, and high above
all merely local considerations. They
stated, what is true, that the buildings
are already ample, ami that a farm
would be tendered without expense to
the State. They further showed that
five out of the requisite industrial
chairs are already ably filled, and that
the land grant added to the present
resources of the University would afford
more complete and thorough educa
tioual facilities than could possihv be
derived from the application of the
fund to a new institution, or its division
among two, as proposed by the Mill-
edgville committee.
The claim of Milledgeville is solely
based on the fact that the State proper
ty in her midst is idle. This is the
first intimation.we have hail that she
abandons her strong claim for a res
toration of the seat of government. The
time and manner iu which the Capitol
was removed was a grave public wrong
and her great misfortune. But it does
not entitle her to consideration as an
educational center, aud no graver mis
take can be made by the Legislature
than to atone for past wrong by lo
cating a feebly endowed college there,
timply because she was wronged in the re
moval, aud has public buildings fit for
little else. The proposed endowed
is a boon to the whole State, and should
be applied where it best subserve tbe
-object Ur which it was granted. If it
will do most good at Milledgeville, by
all means give it that direction. But
if old Oglethorpe University, with its
able corps of professors, backed by a
strong and wealthy religious denomina
tion could rnfit survive there, how inay
we hope fir a better fate for an indus
trial <e«Ut*ge’
little else in the political situation
worthy of note. The iniquities of the
revenue System, the burdens of the
tariff, and the general cussedness of
Grant and his cousins in their admin
istration of the government, come in
lur a small share of notice. In this
hullabalo about what the National
Convention shall do next year, the mis
chief that tlie Radical cormorants arc
doing every day is almost ignored.
As we do not wish to make any
new departure” if wo can help it.
anil as we do not believe any amount
of bluster of ours can weigh a straw in
preventing it, if it shall be deemed
necessary by those who ought to be tbe
judges, we do not propose to waste
space in discussing it. We presume
the simplest of our readers is familiar
with the illcgfJ and illiberal manner in
which tlie 14th and lotli amendments
were thrust upon the country, anti they
also know as well as we do, that if
their burdens are ever mitigated or re
moved, it must lie by tlie help of Nortli-
ern Democrat*, and by democratic ma
jorities in Northern States. Therefore
we trust our friend Willingham and
all others who are on his line, will ex
cuse us from entering the nngTy dis
cussion to which he rather unkindly
invites us in his late comments on our
position. We respectfully suggest to
him that the spirit of his comments on
what he is pleased to call the dock lead
journals, is just a little indiscreet and
illiberal. There nuty be as “ true men”
among the editors who propose to wait
prudently the issue of events, a* there
are among the common scolds who nre
assuming tlie guardianship of the pub
lic interests in the untimely wrangles
referred to. Tiie old cry of the dema
gogue, that all who would promote
national harmony, and secure national
organization, at tlie sacrifice of local
partialities, are unsound, ha* lost it*
power. The Democracy of the South
are all tound; anti so, too, as a party,
are the Democracy of the North. They
do not view Southern questions from
our stand point, and do not share our
sympathies or sorrows; but as a party
they are, a* they always have been, true
to the Constitution, and we are willing
to trust them. We implore their aid
in throwing off the shackles of Radical
domination, plunder and outrage, and
we deem it bad taste, ungenerous, un
wise, aye, absolutely stupid, to insult
them by supieions, or hamper them by
captious dictation. We are drowning
and need their help. Let us not dic
tate whether they shall cut loose all
their life boats and let them drift to us,
or throw out such ropes and planks as
they can spare, and help us ashore.
There has been great excitement in
Atlanta in reference to the affairs of
the State road under Mr. Blodgett.
The Governor directed the Treasurer.
Harris, the Auditor, Hotchkiss, and
the Book-keeper, McCalla, to be re
moved, - and Mr. Blodgett'ordered Mc
Calla to turn over the books to H. P.
Farrow, Attorney for th^Euad. This
McCalla declined to do, - Snd after a
lengthy correspondence, and consiilera-
ble excitement, during which the books
were guarded by policemen, the books
were placed in tlie custody of a com
mittee,, consisting of Dr. C. L. Rcd-
winc, C. C. Hammock, and E. E.
Rawson. .
All this excitement over tbe books
will we predict, end in smoke. If the
managers of the road have appropria
ted or misapplied its earning*, a* is
generally believed, they liave been
smart enough to keep tlieir books so
that the leaks cannot lie discovered.
We venture that the books will bal
ance to a quarter of a cent; but us the
rogues appear to be falling out, some
of them may turn State's evidence and
tell where the money went.

the boat immediately sunk, with her

of nineteen dead—eight ladies among
the number—liave been recovered.
Twenty-eight wounded have been
brought to the city and one of the
number, a little girl, has since died.
The scene was appalling. Heart-rend
ing and wilder scenes of grief were
seldom witnessed. The frantic cries of
the survivors, as they lamented for lust
wives, children, patents and sisters,

sympathies. Many of the passengers
were little children, and many little
hats and bonnets came oshprejo tell of
the little victims beneath the wives.
The Captain, Win. Eaton, swam some

thirty or forty persons are still buried

Heavy Shipment* of Cotton Blanket*.
—The Eagle and Phoenix Manufactur
ing Company of Columbus now liave
orders from D. H. Holmes and other
merchants of New Orleans for the ship
ment ot 1,200 pairs of their-celebrated
cotton blankets. These orders are be-
ing'fillcd with all possible dispatch, a
number of large boxes being shipped
daily. Very decided improvements
have been made in these blankets since
the first were turned out, aud those
now being manufactured are about as
near perfection as it is possible for them
to become.
But we desire to offer no argument
for or against nay mere locality. We
desire to see a great, thorough, pros
perous University in our borders. The
Trustee.* awl Faculty of tbe State Uni
versity. amid many eiubarassments,
have hud the basie for ouch -on institu

personal influences—we may properly
call it hero worship—vrhieli attracted
many of our youth to Virginia; done
it without the aid of the State, and a

The Louisiana Sugar Crop.—
From all parts of the State wc have
very encouraging accounts of tho grow
ing sugar crop of Louisiana. The cane
is in splendid condition and still im
proving. The crop, on the whole, is
in bitter con litiou than the m jjt san
guine anticipated earlier in the season,
and should the latter portion of the
year be favorable for cutting and grind
ing, our State will turn out a crop
something like those of ante bdlu n
times. We do not think that 225,-
000 hogsheads is a high estimate of .the
yield at this time, though, of ciursc,
the contingencies of the fall must eater
the calculation so far as the merchant
b concerned. If the season’ continues
as favorable throughout a* it has been
thus fir, this great staple will be rein
stated in its former position within a
very few years. We have the capaci
ty to produce one million hogsheads,
and these figures will sooner or later be
reached.—X. O. Picayune,ltilh.
Boston, August 26.—Tlie appall
ing railroad accident at Revere last
night caused intense excitement, and
to-day large crowds visited tlie scene.
The railroad officials have cleared away
the debris and ruins, and the road is in
running order again. At the time of
the collision the accommodation train
for Beverly had its red signal lights
iiehtnd, aud tlie red signal was hoisted
at the mast liend of the signal post for
the express to hold up, which it did at
Everett, but subsequently proceeded,
and was under lull headway when near
Revere station, the engineer evidently
not being aware of the proximity of tlie
Beverly train until perhaps within six
ty rods of it. He tlien whistled “ down
brakes,” but not soon enough to arrest
the calamity. Homo of the passengers
in the rear portion of tlie acconunoda-
tiu train heard the ominous whistle,
but too late to escape. On came the
express train at great velocity, and
the engine struck the rearmost car full
in the centre, and forced its way in a
telescopic manner two-thirds the length
of the car. The smoke stack was instan
tly knocked off and the boiler penetra
ted all of the distance named into the
rear car, the rear part of the latter be
ing smashed into a thousand splinters,
throwing the debris out on either side
of the engine tender. Of the rear half
in ' of the car not a fragment as big as a
house window could be fouud. The
fore part of the en ine was utterly de
molished, it* pistons bent and its rods
broken. The car was crowded with
people, every seat being occupied and
many standing in the aisles. Amonr
these the locomotive rushed, quid
a* a flash, just as the Beverly train
had started, maugling in the most
frightful manner, but this was not the
only, and perhaps not the worst, visi
tor the unfortunate passengers had.—
Simultaneously with the collision, the
Lead cap of the boiler was broken, and
in an instant the wretched sufferers
were shrouded in n cloud of hissing
steam aud deluged with boiling water,
whic i brought death instantly to many
of the wounded, and will prove fatal
to others who had probably not been
otherwise seriously injured.
The lamps spilled tlieir contents, but
the fire, if uny, was undoubtedly ex-
t nguished by the water and steam.—
Although the Beverly train was just
moving v.hen the collision took place,
its motion did not prevent injury to the
cars front of the last The coupling
lietweeu the two rear cars broke, and
the platforms of all of them were jamm
ed up together, with the smoking car
overlapping the baggage car, and rods
aud timber were inextricably mixed
and interwoven. Fortunately the en
tanglement was uot so great but that
the passengers succeeded in getting out
quite speedily, and happy was it for
them they did so, for the kerosene
lamps were upset, and the contents

Hancock is his favorite for the Presi

If so, he will be permitted to go it

The Hog Crop.—A correspondent
nf the Montgomery Adoertise'r writing
from Montvale Springs, ttavs ;
The hog crop through East Tennes
see will perhaps be better than the last.
The number of hogs to be slaughtered
this winter bids 6ur to be eoasiilsrabiy
inexeessofany year since tlie wiir. Far
mers complain that the price was so
lpw this spring and summer, that there
bu beeu uo demand, so far, on the
part of packers and speculators; and
from this they judge that the price will
continue low. Well informed bacon
dealers say that contracts are now be
ing made in Ohio for hogs to be ddiv-
ered in November and December, at
throe cents gross.
spilled upon the upholstery, and in an
instant the smoking car wus in a blaze.
The flames traveled with great speed
from one ear to another, until three of
them were enveloped. These were
subsequently moved up the track a
half dozen rods, and allowed to burn,
until there was nothing left for the fire
to feed upon. An effort was at first
made to put out the fire, but this was
prevented, and the flames were useful
in ligating up the dreadful scene iu the
rear, and facilitated services for the
wounded. The work oi rescuing the
victim* was at onee begun, assistance
lieing soon furnished from Chelsea,
Charleston, and, at a late hour, from
Boston. The Frost Hose Compab.y
just returned from an excursion to
Providence, were promptly on the
ground," having seen the tiro burning.
Dozens of poor creatures were jamm
ed within the wood and iron work,
and could not get out The axe was
applied vigorously, and soon a rope
was applied to the side of tlie car, and
all the remaining frame work was pull
ed asunder. The dead and mangled
bodies were taken out carefully and
speedily and placed on the platform in
