Shocking Outrages.-On last Thursday night, 14th, three negroes went to the house of n respectable lady of Jackson county, and demanded ad* mission. Suspecting at once their ob ject, she sent her daughter through the hack door to her grand mother, and raised the alarm. A negro saw and pursued her. knocking Iter down and attempting to outrage Iter, but failed in his fiendish purpose. Meantime a tenant on the place ll'-iinl tlu* noise, and went to their assist ance. The negroes fled, and one who was believed to be in the party, was ar rested, but proved an alibi by a white per son. and was released. It is likely the monsters may yet be arrested. The citizen of Jackson who gave us the above, states that about two weeks ago two negroes committed rape on a young Indy in that county. Fatal Accident.—A tree fell a little boy, son of W a. Potts, de ceased, about nine years old, nesr Jeffer son, on Tuesday, and killed him instaut- ly. Both thighs were broken.

Mr. M’- Duffie, formerly of the firm of McDuffie «fc Goss, is with this house, and will be pleased to sec Ills friends. Bruntby & Co. have a large lot of fresh Garden Seeds, which as it is late in the season, they offer very low. stones,” is the largest. Satterfield & Co. have recently opened a stock of family groceries. We are tempted to Illustrate the vigL lence of the town authorities by relating an incident which occurred during oar stay. One of the legal functionaries un wittingly violated a town ordinance, and the Marshal delicately reminded him of the offence, and permitted him to pay the fine without a formal arrest. The joke was so good that the victim told it on himself, and nobody relished it more tbrfh Col. Nash, who was reminded of a cir cumstance in which h« was an actor when the town was first laid out. He was telling some of his good jokes and laughing, as is his lisbit, “from the ground up,” when he was notified that such boisterous conduct was against the “canons of the town.” “Canonsof—” replied Nash, “I didn’t suppose there w:ts anything bigger than a picket pis tol in the place.” The Marshal, not ap preciating the point of Nash’s wit, told him that he would have to arrest him if he was not more quiet. “ Arrest me!” said Nash, “for talking above a whisper, herein ad—d scrub oak hamlet like this, where 1 can start a wolf within a hundred yards of the Court House I" Hartwell is no longer a “scrub oak hamlet,” but its officers are still vigi- lent in the enforcement of the laws. The young men of Hartwell have a Debating Society, and on Monday night discussed the question—" Is a high pro tective tariff beneficial to the people of the United States ?" Tho disputants were Lee Linder, Sol. Bobo and Joseph Scott, in the affirmative, and Jos. Johnson and Asbury M'Curry, in the uegntive. The question was decided by E. B.

General North-Eastern Railroad.—At the regular meeting of the Directors on yesterday, it was resolved to proceed at once to the permanent loca tion of the road on the Harmony Grove line, and the Directors offered to advance the expenses of location.— It is considered that this settles the construction of the road, and the com pany will be ready in a short time to receive proposals for contracts. The right of way has been generally given, and it is hoped that all who have with held subscriptions through fear that the enterprise would fail, will now conto up nnd help push it on to early com pletion. Contraband Whiskey.— On Sunday night Col. Taylor, Revenue As sessor, arrested C. H. Payne and Thomas Black, of White county, about eight miles above Athens, who hud in charge about 175 gallo.13 of whiskey on which no tax hud liccn paid. The whiskey and teams were seized, and will be said in accordance with the revenue laws.

On motion, F. B. Hodges was chosen President, and A. J. McMullen Sec retary. Mr. Hodges, on taking the chair, made a few appropriate remarks, show ing the great importance of this organ ization for the purpose of improving the agricultural interests of the ooon> ty. by regular meetings of the farmers, and exchanging ideas on the different and improved methods of agriculture, thereby promoting the interests of all, well as to communicate with the State Society and others, lot the pur pose of mutual information from dif ferent sections of the country, and also procure seeds from the Department at Washington. The books were opened for the pur pose of receiving members, which re sulted in enrolling the names of about fifty members. On motion, the Chair appointed a committee for the purpose of drafting a constitution and by-laws, which.com- mittee proposedX constitution similar to other agricultural societies in Geor gia, with'a few changes suitable to the local interests of the county, the first section styling this organization the • | Hart County Agricultural Society.

Men’s Christian Aassociation Friday ccedings, with the request to publish evimiug, was a mest delightful occasion, .l The faculty which “ steals fire from the * n,e ’ fountain* of the past to glorify the pres ent,” went slipping back to the golden days of college life, and all the scenes of that happy tunc rose painted on the eye of memory. Tho strength of such asso ciations has received celebration in song, and perhaps there is no more beautiful, episode in Tennyson’s ‘ f In Memoriant,” titan that in which he pictures his com panionship “ in college fanes” with Ar thur Henry Hallain. But while the revival of these recollec tions brought pleasure, the chief enter tainment was afforded by the address of Hon. James A. Nisbet. Its leading thoughts were that education at the Uni versity should 1ms elevated, widened, cheapened and made more practical.

The only criminnl case tried was against one of Bullock's Notaries, who was convicted of cheating and swindling. Thus "One by one the roses fade." S. Lumpkin, Esq., of Lexington, has recently been appointed Solicitor Gen eral, in place of Matthews, resigned. He is n young man of tine ability, and makes a most elfioicnt officer. Judge Andrews appears in unusual health, and is much esteemed by the bar and people for the fairness and ability with which lie holds the scales of justice. The attendance at Court was small Col. Nash, E. M. Edwards and J.P. Shan non, were, we liclieve, the only lawyers present besides the local bar. Few farm ers were out, save as jurors, witnesses, or parties in Court. The people of IIart appear to be in very good condition financially. They are I not, however, entirely exempt from the ravages of the cotton fever, anil wc had to inquire at more than one farm bouse to find one who had a bundle or two of fodder “ to spare” for our faithful horse. They do not appear to be covering them selves *11 over with crop liens for fertili zers and food, as the fanners of some oth er counties arc doing, and in this respect they are acting wisely. The wheat crop, though backward and not as large as could be desired, is coming out finely, and stands are excellent. Considerable interest is manifested in agricultural im provement, and a Club was organized a few days ago. the proceedings of which will be found in another place.

A discussion of« most delicate -question has taken place by the permission ofthe Pope nnd under his auspice.!, between learned Catholics and Protestants. Some very active members, of the Protestant hurch have for twelve months been assailing many of the theories of the Catholic Church,- and especially that which relates to ihe. primacy of St-Peter. They asserted that as a historical fact St Peter never put foot in Rome. These statements were repeated to the Pope,- who, in conversation, under took their refutation.

The I resolution proposed that the preriding Our people arc eating onions, potatoes elder ?hou ^ proceed to an “ immediate and cabbages, brought the same distance, and thorough investigation,” and the winch they grease with bacon procured rep()rt of the committee, which from Ohio and Kentucky. Every day adopted to-dav, enjoins upon him the wc see wagons from the country hauling same duty. The only difference be- ont these articles when they should be tween the two propositions was that hauling them in.

The Aluine.—We have hereto fore referred to this publication at some length, but again invite attention to its merits. We teel confident that if it waa brought before our local public for in spection, a handsome club could be form ed in Athens with very little exertion, and tiust that some person will take the matter in hand. The premiums offered arc worth an effort. For full information address the Aldine, 23 Liberty afreet New York.

The debate tured upon the question as to which of these methods accorded with the mode of procedure laid down it the Discipline, and touched not the merits of the case. The vote in favor of Mr. Wilson’s motion had no sig nificance whatever, except that, in the judgment of the Conference, the mode of procedure prepared hy him was in accordance with the Methodist usage. The committee met on Friday after noon, but it L ne t known what witnes es were examined. The statement telegraphed from here by the Associated Press that one of his soenrors bad withdrawn her charges, is without the slightest foun dation in truth. Her friends report that the has bee anxious from tho first to confront Dr. Huston, and has not varied in the sfightes in her state ments. These are astonishing, and if ever brought before ' the public, in * court of justice, will startle tho com munity. The action of the committee The Ku-Klnx Act.
