The Steamboat Excursion,
initicc of the above excursion that
(0 )t place last Saturday was crowded out
„f oar last i*ue by a pressure ot other mat-
We suppose there were about two
huadred persons oa board the steamer Eto-
„h, which left her wharf at 4 o clock p.
The Brass dand did great credit to
Selves, and added mueh pleasure to
he party, by the enlivening strains of their
«od music. Everybody seemed cheerful,
and all appeared to have just what they
ent for, viz-a good time.
Owin" to the lowness of the river, the
bolt ran rather Slowly, and only went down
;,, me 12 or 15 miles, where she stopped
ong tftugli for ihu P asscn S ers t0 eD i° y
hch Pic .Vic—some of whom went ashore
or this purpose, then turned her bow
homeward.
There was a string tmnd along, and ma
,jparticipated in the pleasures of the
dance. The boat returned to the wharf
at 10! o'clock, all being glad that they had
participated in the pleasures of the occasion
and wishing to have another similar oppor-
unity, at an early rlav. We are told that
the band realized only sixty dollars, as the
,roceeds of the trip.

C. Holmes will open a high school for

ud highly accomplished gentleman, who

aetid him as a very first class teacher.

Terrible Retribution—A Faithful Dog Kills
"the Assailant of his Mistress.
The Chronicle & Sentinel has reliable in
formation of a terrible tragedy that recent
ly occurred in one of the “mountain coun
ties of this State.
Two neighbors, designated as R. and L.
both formerly wealthy, lived near each other
and were on terms of intimacy. R,who
a comparatively young man, has recently
married a beautiful lady, L. was about 55
years of age, his wife near the same age.
and they have a daughter who is an inti
mate friend of Mis. R., 25 years old. Mr.
R. having been called from home for a few
days, his wife sent for Miss L. to come and
spend the night with her, as she would be
entirely alone, the servant’s houses being
nearly a half a mile away. The father of
Miss L. refused to let her go, and she so
informed Mrs. R. about 9 o’clock. Mrs.
R., not knowing what else to do, fastened
np the house, and taking, a very large and
fierce yard dog into her room for protection
retired.
Abent midnight she was awakened by
the fierce growling of her faithful protector,
a ad hearing some one in the other room,
®fle demanded who was there. She was or
dered so open the door, and, <n spite of he r
entreaties and threats, the door was forced
open by the ruffian. Quick as thought the
furious dog seized the intruder by the
neck, and soon had him in deadly conflict.
Mrs. R. darted from the room and made all
possible haste to the residence of Mr. L.
She soon aroused the family, and, Mr. L.
not being at home, his wife and daughter,
together with some of the servants, accom
panied her back home.
The scene there presented was one of
horror and astonishment, beyond nU power
of description. Who can imagine the feel
ing of Mrs. L. and her daughter, as they
beheld the husband and father pale in
death, and the frenzied dog stiU growlin
at his throat.
Intense excite meat was produced through
out the neighborhood, on the following
day, when the facts became known, but the
general feeling was one of thankfulness
that Providence had provided spee ly and
suitable punishment for the fiendish crim
inal.
Trouble in South Carolina.
Me leuru from the Chronicle & * Senti-
cl, that great excitement was existing
Edgefield Court House last week, grow-
:oat of the occupation of that place by
zac two hundred negro militia. It seems
ut the guilty conscience of a scalawag
laiedjEisanberger, who is coroner of the
‘ant)-, had caused him to fear violence,
om the people he had injured, and went
the trovernor, aud obtained four hnn-
ed stand of arms, and permission to cn-
U cne or more compauies of negro mili-
for the protection of his own cowardly
and some others of his own ilk
has authority from Gov. Scott to raise
10militiamen, for his own protection.—
0 Thursday he took military possession of
jie town. They took charge of the jail,
hschargcd the jailor, and put a heavy guard
■utad it.
Three white men were in jail charged
ah the murder of two negroes, some
moths since, but « 0 efforts, or threats,
had been made for their release.—
L c ‘tizens are quiet, and law-abiding, but
course greatly exasperated at this high-
anaed measure.
The reason for this conduct is said to lie
1 ‘he fact that Eisenberger wants to make
51 hero of himself, so as to obtain the
®eo of Sheriff.

Pardoning in Advance.
It seems that our delectable Governor
cannot wait for a trial, in some instances,
but must issue a pardon in advance. The
Atlanta IntelUgenoer publishes officially
proclamation pardoning R. T, Curry, W.
P. and W. H. Inman, Directors of North
western Bank of Georgia, indicted in the
Catoosa Court for “misdemeanor io the in
solvency of said bank,” but not yet tried.—
The reason given by ohr astute Governor
for these pardons, is that “the expenses, in
convenience and trouble of 4 defense, will
work great hardship and damage to the
said parties.” He has become “satisfied
that the afiairs of the bank have been fairly
and legaHy administered,” and so chooses
to save the courts the trouble of investigate
ing tho matter in the old fashioned way.—
What a Governor!!
The Desperation of Despair.
The following telegram from Hon. J. A.
J. Cresswell, Postmaster General, received
by Gen. W. B. Stokes at the City Hotel,
on last Saturday night, r settles the whole
question:
Washington, D. C July 24.
“To Hon. W. B, Stokes, City Hotel:
“Believing yon to be the true Represen
tative of the Rep abliean party of Tennes
see, I earnestly advocate your election, and
I trust that every sound Republican in
your State will rally enthusiastically to
your support. The President is absent
fromthe city, hut I am confident that I de
clare his opinion and desire.
“John A. Cress veld,
Postmaster General ”
—[State Journal of yesterday,
“Settles the whole question, eh ? If
onr Bald Eagle cotemporary means that
Cresswell’s little.telegraphie freak settles
the election, it’s certainly a longways from
appreciating the real state of the case. The
freemen of Tennessee, and they alone, will
settle it, in a style, too, most disastrous to
the hopes of the true representatives.—
These ministerial npstarts may thrill the
wires "until doomsday with their bombastic
endorsements, but they cannot turn the
scale five hundred votes, one way : or the
other.—Nashville Banner, 26/A.
The Capital.
The editor of the Southern Rcccoder has
been to Atlanta. In the course of an edi
torial giving his impression ofthe place and
people, he says:
We are coolly told that Atlanta would
ever he the Capital of tne State, and that
there was plenty of money to keep it there
Onr virtue was shocked at such an insinu
ation that the legislature could he bought
up like sheep, yet it was the boast of those
people; and judging from the action of the
last Legislature, they knew their game,and
how to fetch it down. Tho Opera House
is a very good looking building, bnt no
more to compare with the old Capitol for
State purposes in point of comfort and con
venience, and being at the proper place,
than we would compare the present Execu
tive to George M. Troup or George W.
Crawford.
A Man Shot and Kidded at Craw-
fordvidde.—We are advised by a special
correspondent that a most unfortunate oc
currence took place in.Crawforvilleon Sat
urday, The facts, as detailed by our cor
respondent, are . Mr. Columbus Reese
came to the villiage in the afternoon (the
same man who was tried soon after the war
at Washington, Wilkes county, by a court
mania], for killing a negro,) and began to
drink, as is his custom. It was not long
before he began a quarrel with Mr. Thom
as Edwards, a quiet, peaceable man, though
in the habit of drinking sometimes; yet he
was never known to injure any one, and
was mneii thought of in this community
The quarrel continued fora few moments,
when Edwards, taraing to walk away,
Reese threatened to shoot .him, having a
drawn pistol in .his hand. Edwards was
unarmed and had made no threats or any
demonstrations. When the threat was
made he (Edwards) fronted Rreese, open-
ing-his shirt, and, as a. brave man will do,
fold him toshoot. Reese, standing in five yards
shot, the ball entering Edwards breast, near
the heart. Edwards fell upon the ground,
and in few moments had breathed his last.
Reese remained in town for some hours,
wallring the streets and threatning to kill
any one who attempted to arrest him. He
is still at large, andup to tbishour no efforts
have been made for his arrest. -Augusta

Affairs in South Carolina.
A esrrespon dent of tho New York World,
writing from Cberaw, gives a doleful re
port ofthe condition of affairs in the tide
water regions of South Carolina,
says:
Over the whole scope of country wh’ch
I have recently traversed, . extending far
down towards the coast, and embracing the
region South of - the Pedeo and within
twenty miles of it, the regime d' Afrique is
supreme and in fell blast; negro sheriffs
negro constables, negro magistrates, negro
guards with loaded muskets, surrounding a
log-house pen, crowded densely with white
and black prisoners infested with vermin,
and stifling nndei a temperature of ninety-
nine.in the shade and over a hundred in
the foetid and J heated atmosphere of the
prison pen; negro preachers, negro choirs,
negro selectmen, negro - conjurors, negro
schools, missionary stations, teachers, and
all the other appendages and incidents of
a negro kingdom, which. Radicalism
has established - in ■ this “reconstructed^
State.
" In one settlement,where there are a doz
en very handsome “ residences, occupied by
planters and their families, there is a negro
drummer, who officiates on al 1 occasions, as
sembling the League by beatiog.the drum;
calling the freedmen’s school together;
giving notice of meeting at the negro church
in the same way, and drumming to an an-
noying extent almost all the time. The He
brew gives to the place of torment the name
of Tophet, a name derived from the -beat
ing of drums to drown the dies of the vic
tims at the saeifice of Moloch. A .dram,
perdition, rain and despair. Does the
drum mean all this here to the intelligence,
virtue and wealth of the land. Mauy
things indicate it, while other things
point to the triumph of inteUigence at

components of the material are said to be

Southern Prosperity. — The New
York Tribune says : “The present year is
one of gieat material prosperity at the South.
The prospect is that she will sell three mil
lion bales for as mnch money as six miUions
would have netted, her in those old palmy
days to which she will still gaze back with
unfounded regret. Besides, she will have
less pork to buy, less floor, not so many
shoes, nor hats, lighter doctors’ bills to set
tle. She pays smaller usury to the com
mission merchant, and much less to North
ern hotel keepers. With marvelous ad
vantages of climate, with the irrepressible
vigor and thrift of a race skiUed in the im
perial art of transmuting disaster into fortune,
the South, so bankrupt in 1865, is now in
a fair way to plow her way to that opulence
and power to which* she madly strove to
cat a bloody path with the Bword.”
With the exception of a few favored lo
calities, Sumter, Schley and adjoining
connties, have had no rain of consequence
in four or five weeks. The corn crop, here
tofore so promising, is already no doubt ent
off one-third in most localities, even if we
shonld have good seasons from this ent.—
Many farmers tell us that there has been
no perceptible growth of the cotton for
weeks, and they are in consequence quite
gloomy.^-Avtfrkus Co\tripr S3d,
Death of James'll. Putts.
We are pained to learn that James R.
Batts, Esq., died at his residence in this
city yesterday, after a ‘ew hours’ severe ill
ness of bilions cholic. Mr. Butts was an
old resident of Macon, bnt a native of one
of the New England States. He was well
known ior many years as Surveyor General
of Georgia. He was a man of very active,
original mind and considerable inventive
power. During the war, in an expedition
to the Florida coasts, to establish a fishery
business, he fell into the hands of the Fed
eral cruisers, and for a long time was a
prisoner in.Fort LaFayette. At the time
of his death he was probably one of the
largest land owners in the State, and we
hope his landed property wiU afford a suffi
cient provision for the family he has left
behind him, who will receive the warmest
sympathies of the community. Mr. Batts
must have lived nearly the allotted time of
threo score and ten.—Macon Tdegragh. of
27th.
Negroes Killed.
It is authoritatively reported that on
Saturday eight, early after dark, a party
of disguised persons visited the jail of Col
umbia county, at Appling, forced the jail
er to give up the keyB,and took from, the jail
negro man and woman, who were fonnd
dead in the Toad, a few hundred yards
from the prison, on Sunday morning. These
are the negroes aUeged to have been Con
cerned in the difficulty with Mr. Cobb
Reed, reported by us on last Wednesday.
The negro man, Berry Barnett,was arrest
ed in this city, last Tuesday, and was car
ried back to Columbia on Wednesday by
Mr. J. M. Luke and a party of gentlemen
who accompanied himConst. 27th.
The Fashions at Newport.—No mark
ed change has taken plaoe in the fashions ;
trains are of immense length, though short
dresses are frequently seen at the hotels of
evenings. The hair is worn both higher
and lower on the hqafi, and in greater pro
fusion than ever. White fa much worn for
morning dresses, and* large, cool buff linen
umbrellas are carried by both sexes. Men
ogrnms are affeoted to a very great extent
in the cottages. Bell-pulls, cornioes, furni
ture, lace curtains, china, and even her
oeoktie, bears my lady’s initials fancifully
entwined.
With Dyspeptics ’everything is wrong. Food
>os not digest; sleep does not refresh; wine does
not cheer; smiles does not gladden; music does
not charm, nor can any other joy enter the breast
of the miserable dyspeptic. Yon most get rid of
it, or Jt will become seated and confirmed, and
life will bo a burden and existence a curse. Plan

CoHector Carey, of New Orleans, writes
to BontweU, enclosing a letter from Wm.

plies that McCreery is in error in stating
that the act of February, 1862, forbiding
American citizehs from engaging in the
cooley trade was abrogated on the 16th of
January, 1867. It passed unanimously
both Houses of Congress; expressing the
abhorance of the peop’e ofthe United States
for the Cooley trade. In conformity where
with Secretary McCullock addressed a let-
tar to ti e Collector of Customs at New Or

Carey. Additional article five to. the trea

only waiting the Chinese ratification, rep
robates any other than voluntary emigra
tion, and makes it a penal offense to take
the Chinese subjects from China, without
their free consent.
The Department of State by circular of
January 17th, 1867, addressed to Ministers

that Consols at every port where cooleys
may embark, be required to certify, after a
full examination, that such embarkation is
not forced or procured by fraud, and re
quires that Buch ministers and Consols use
all their power and influence to prevent and
discourage tho Cooley trade. Such being

Infirmary for the Blind,
Dr. W. A. Hootun ha3 removed his Infirmary
for the Blind, from Cottoo Bill, Georgia, to At*
lanta, Georgia, where he has located permanent
ly He is now prepared to treat diseases of the
ey«j successfully, and will give his personal at
tention to all cases presented. He relieves al
most all; curable cases without tho use of the
knife. He was blind three years himself; and,
after having exhausted, &3 he thought, the skill
of the profession, uoth^orth and South, came in-
to possesion of a system of treatment with which
he was soon vestored to sight. Dr. Hooten has
been a practicing physician eighteen years. He
was a graduated physician and suacessful prac
titioner before he became blind. To the knowl
edge which he acquired from the most eminent
physicians, surgeons and occulists, North and
South, while under treatment, he has added-the
mature experience of twelve years’ successful
practice on the eye, aided by the valuable con
tri -utions of a judiciously selected library on
diseases of the eye. Combining this knowl
edge and skill, he uses the same system of treat
ment with which he was eureJ. lie has per
fectly and permanently restored a great many
persons from total blindness. He knoas of no
other occulistin the United States, who uses the
samesystem. He also treats chronic cases in all
forms. Terms for treatment cash.
To remove from the minds of the most scru-
{ julous any prejudices that may arise, he re
era the public to the following first class names,
giving the postofSce address of each, and |>ro-
poses that for proof that any of the certificates
herein.published by him are. not ge mine, cr
that these cures were nut eifee’ed by him as here
Instated, to pay to the'order of the individual
producing said proof. Five thousand dollars.

almost despaired of her ever being cured, but 09;
hearing of Dr. Hooten, I immediately placed my
daughter under his treatment, and in a short
time she was restored, and can nqw see as well as
She ever could at any time. Do not delay, hut
goat once to Dr. Hooten and. be cured. His
treatment is harmless. If he does you no good,
he will do 2 Ou ho harm. My. daughter, and I

idetoDr. Hooten.? v •
This certificate I give cheerfully, earnestly
hoping it may prove a benefit to the blind, also

To Persons a filleted with Sore Eyes.*
I feel it my duty to Dr. Hooten, and to those
of our good people who are troubled with dis
eases of the eye, to say that after suffering four
years with Chronic Inflammatory Sore Eyes; and
and after applying to a large number of emi
nent physicians without obtauiing any kind of
relief, I was relieved of-Blindness; al!-soreness of
the eyes, and I may say entirely cured within two
weeks of treatment by Dr. Hooten. I can cheer
fully say further, that his.treatment is inildj and
most certainly /-harmless, _ir ; not beneficial. I
would like to -pT£y Dr. Hooten the debt of grati
tude I nxr* him for the almost miraculous cure
of my Blindness, add give this certificate gratj-
itously, hoping that it may be of some benefit to
him, and also to suffering humanity.

I cheerfully state herein, for the benefit of mj
friend Dr.' Hooten; and the public, that my
daughter L, lost her eye sight entirely from Ir
itis. A friend of Dr. Hooten’s advised me to take
my daughter to him, which I did. When I took
hex to Dr. Hooten, she could not discern e single
ray of light—was totally] blind. In about six
weeks of Dr. Hooten’s treatment she wa3 entire
ly restored to sight, and every vestige ofthe
disease removed from her eyes. I would earnes
tly say to all persons afflicted with diseased
«/es, go to Dr. Hooten, Cotton Hill, Go. ...
Respectfully, JAS HILLIARD:
Nov, 1,1867. -
For tho benefit of those suffering with Soro
Eyes, and in justice to Dr. Hooten, I will state
that I took my wife to Dr Hooten, on the 7th of.
May, 1868, entirely blind—the result of a high
sgree of Inflammation of the Eyes. She com
menced improving very soon under his treatment
and continued to improve rapidly until quite re
stored to sight. On the 15ih day of July follow
ing, she returned home with her sight entirely
rostored,without the slightest Inflammation about
her eyes perceptible. X feel safe in recommend
ing Dr Bo jfen to every one suffering with their
eyes. Dr; Hooten is;a Georgian by birth and edu
cation, and deserves the confidence to which he is
so mnch enti led. S. S. DUNLAP,

J was nearly blind four years with Granulated
Lids. After having been treated by several em
inent physicians without any relief! I placed
myself under treatment of Dr Hooten. When I
went to Dr. Hooten I could not have seen a large
house five feet from me in/the brightest' light of
midday. In a short'time I was entirely restored
by his treatment, and can now see to shoot a rifle
with as much accuracy as I ever could bo-
mr blindness. I know of many cases re
stored by h Im from total blindness. No humbug
“assure you. Respectfullv,
Ellaville, Ga^ Jan. 6,1869. A lt SMITH.
My daughter was blind in one eye about two
years. The other was involved at times in a high
degree of inflammation. The disease was Gran
ular Conjunctivitis. She is now perfectly restor
ed to sight No person can tell that her eyes
were ever affected- - ; '
I myself was blind, of Gronlar Conjunctivitis,
ten years. One eye had burated out. I had to
be led everywhere I went. I have tried many
distinguished Oculists. Having exhausted their
skill, all dismissed me as incurable. I am now
under the treatment of Dr Hooten. I have Im
proved boyond all expectation of myself snd
i riends. I can now see to. make my way alone,
and if I should continue to improve as I have
done xecently, I shall soon be able to resume the
charge of all my business affairs. For the bene
fit of those afflicted with diseased eyes, I will add
that r have taken special pains to inform myself
of Dr Hooton’s success with his patients ge
aily, and to my certain knowledge, since hi _ _
moval to Atlanta, he has restored a number of
icrcons from blindness of several years’ stand-
ng. In my in erconrse with Dr. Hooten, I find
him to be a high-toned, honorable gentleman, who
sympathises greatly with the blind, promisii _
no more than he can accomplish. All the
tiehts to whom he promised relief are improving
and are greatly rejoiced at their success.
