Floyd County' Statistics.
We hare been to considerable trouble to
extract and condense from the Tax Receiv
er’s returns an important and interesting
table of Floyd county statistics, which we
publish to-day.
We desire to call especial attention to a
few leading facte. First, as to the number
of polls. It will be noticed that only- 2289
have been given in, Last November 2118
Totes were east in the Presidential election,
and it is believed that the present num
ber of males subject to poll tax in the coun
ty is not less than 2800 or 3000. In the
whole of the Rome District only 429 polls
are returned, whereas in the city alone, at
our last municipal election 403 votes were
cast. Of course, there are some voters,
over sixty years old, that are not subject to
poll tax.
There are 306 635 acres of land given
in, at an aggregate valuation of $1,964,869
or a fraction over $6 40 per acre. This is
very high, especially when it is considered
that there is jin this connty considerbble
mountain land, that is nearly worthless.
We question whether any connty in the
State rates its tillable lands as high as
Floyd. It will be noticed that the aggre
gate value of taxable property in the conn
ty is $4,082,013; that of the Rome District
$2,203,689; thus leaving in all the other
districts, $1,878,324. It thus appears
that Rome pa^s largely over half of all the
taxes of the county; a matter of interest in
questions of finance and public improve
ments.
The following is the table alluded to :

Mr. A. J King, a perfectly reliable and

alified for the business, has opened a
id agency at Cave Spring, for the pur-
of buying or selling lands in Vann’s
Hey and Cedar Valley. These lands ore

surpassed richness, and, taking into con
dition the excellence of the water,
itncsiaad salubrity of the elimate,

Crops in Polk—School Fund.
We take the liberty of publishing the
following extract from » private letter:
Cedartown, Ga., Aug. 2d, J.869-
Mr. Dwinell:
Dear Sir—Our crops have suffered for
want of rain, but we had several showers
last week, which together made a pretty
good season. Cotton, bad stand and small.
Many poople in the valley have injured
their corn fcy Jeavipg it. too thick. My
motto is “plant for a dry season,” but it
seems the people have an ide* that the
land in Cedar Valley will make corn “as
thick as hops, two in a hill,” bat - I have
found out it is aR » mistake, if they do sell
at$lfl0 per acre.
Can y ou tell us what becomes of the one
dollar poll tax, which is appropriated to
school purposes ? Our Ordinnry tells us
he has never received a dollar of it. Ho
bjis paid ns, poor teachers, only about 45
cento on the dollar for last year. Is there
not something wrogg afcogt the onedoUar
poll tax ? #

HISTORY OF THE REVOLUTION'AltY
WAR.
A BOOK BY GENERAL T/KK will
awaken such special interest, that we are
glad to call attention to it. The Univer
sity Publishing Company, of No.. 4
Bond Street, New York, announce that they
have now in press, and will issue in a few
weeks, “Memoirs of the War,” by Gen.
Henry Lee, thoroughly revised and correc
ted by Gen. R. E. Lee, who-has added,
also, an entirely new biography of his fath
er, prepared by him from private and per
sonal materials never before nsed. It will
be a large and handsome octavo volume,
illustrated by new steel portraits of Gen.
Henry Lee and * Gen Nathaniel Greene ;
beautiful steel engravings of “Marion
Crossing the Pedee,” and the “Surrender
of Cornwallis ;” and five original maps and
plans. Onr readers need not be told that
this is a work of great interest and value.
It is the standard history of military opera
tions at the South daring the revolutiona
ry war, and. as sneb is a book which every
reading man should possess ; but its inter
est and valne are both greatly increased
by Gen. Robert E. Lee’s thorough revis
ion and correction, and by the valuable bio
graphy of bis father which he has writ
ten and added to it.
- We are sure that this announcement,
alone, is sufficient to give the book a very
great sale, but when we add that Gen. Lee
is personally interested in its publication,
suck a sale is made certain.
As we learn that the book is to be sold
by canvassing agents only, those who de
sire to engage in its sale should make
early application to the publishers.
Extraordinary Spectacle In Tennessee.
The most curious phenomenon of which
we have ever heard occurred in Chatham
connty on Wednesday last. The day, it will
be remembered, was remarkrbly hot, so that
most people in the connty bad to seek the
shade about noon. At th.s hour, on the
farm of Ed Sharp, five miles from Ashland,
a sort of whirlwind came along over the
neighboring woods, taking up small branch
es and leaves of trees and burning therein
a sort of flaming cylinder, that traveled at
the rate of about five miles' an hour, and
developing in size as it traveled. It passed
directly over the spot where a team of
horses were feeding, and singed their manes
and tails up to the roots; it then swept to
ward the house, taking a stack of hay in its
course, which it set on fire. It seemed to
increase in beat as it went, and by the time
it reached the house, it immediately fired
the shingles from end to end of the build
ing, so that in ten minutes the whole build
ing was wrapped in flames.
The tall column of traveling caloric then
continued its course over a wheat field that
had recently been cradled, setting fire to
all the stacks that happened to be in its
course. Passing from the field, its coarse
lay over a stretch of woods which reached
to the river. The green leaves on the trees-
were crisped to a cinder for a breadth of
twenty yards in a straight line to the Cum
berland.* When the pillar of fire reached
the water it suddenly changed its course
down the river, raising a column of steam
which went up to the clonds for about half
a mile, when it finally died out.
Not less than two hundred people \.it-
ncssed this strangest of strange phenome
na; and all of them tell substantially the
same story about It. The farmer Sharp
was left houseless by the devouring ele
ment, and his two horses were so affected
that no goo 1 is expected to be got ont of
them in the future. Several withered trees
ID the woods through which it passed were
set on fire snd continue burning still.—
Nashville Press, 20th itIt.
What the Word Coolie Means.
Most Americans and Europeans, who
are unacquainted with Chinese life, imag
ine that the word coolie embraces in its
meaning all the population of the Chinese
Empire which is devoted to agriculture and
the various departments of productive in
dustry. This is an error. The word coo
lie is Bengali, and signifies laborer, and is
pot Chinese at all It is nsed by the pop
ulations of the seaboard towus, who, for the
most part, speak in common with the for
eign residents, what is called “I’igeon Eng
lish,” to designate a particular class of em
ployees.
There are coolie riggers, coolie carpenters,
coojje deck hands, horse coolies, etc., but
they form a separate clasp from the popu
lation around them. Iu like manner, the
word man Parian is generally supposed in
this country and in England to be a Chi
nese tern), but is not. It is also Pigeon
English, and is derived from the Portugese
word “mandar,” to command- Being ac
cepted by the foreigners of the seaboard as
entirely satisfactory, the Chinese them
selves, who take kindly to the absurdities
nod facilities of the “Pigeon English” for
the transaction of business, have adopted
it into their vocabulary,—AT. Y. Herald,
July 27th.
Cincinnati Southern Railroad.
The Nashville Banner, says that dis
patches received at Chattanooga from Mr.
D. N. Stanton,' President of the Alabama
and Cincinnati Railroad, now in Boston,
state that directors for the Southern divis
ion of the Cincinnati and _ Chattanooga
Railroad, .comprising some of the best men
of New York and Boston, \vero elected on

York have subscribed $2,000,000 to the

Newton S. F UN.was born m Troup coun
ty, Georgia, 13thof October, 1842.-and
died near Floyd Springs, Georgia, July
17tb, 1869, of that fatal disease, Cocsump-
. tion, attended with the effects' of. a wound
supposed to Iiaye been mortal, received at
the first battle of Manassas.
Oh, how we trembieg as we watched the
dread monster as he. made his ravages, and
how our hearts ached that we could do
nothing to stay him in his progress in tak
ing off one so young, so dear to his fat ily;
one so kind'to all, so mindful of the suffer
ing, so unselfish, so patient, so faithful as
a defender of his country.
In one year the work was done, blasting
the fondest hopes of his life, taking him
from his beloved wife and two little chil
dren; yet, without one murmuring word,
he has passed from ns.
He recognized in his affliction the hand
of God. He humbled himself beneath the
chastening rod, and God comforted him.—
The language of his heart ever was, it is
God’s will, He knows what is best. He
passed away as qnietly as the day declines,
and we are left to grieve that he is no more
with us—that no more on the earth will
wc ever hear his beloved voice, yet we are
not m despair, for >ve feel assured that our
loss is his eternal gain—that death was on
ly the father’s voice, calling him home; that
he has an inheritance -w^h the saints in
light, and no more pain, no more sorrow, no
more death will ever reach him there.
His death comes a warning to us, bid
ding us to prepare, for wo too must die—
the decree that we must return-to the dust
again has gone forth, from him who knows
no shadow of turning, and in an hoar we
know not the Son of man will come. May
the great source of strength enable the af
flicted wife so to live and to train his chil
dren that they may be united again in
brighter climes, where the paid of parting
will be no more feared nor felt.

Disgraceful Scenes and Fights at Mary
ville Tenn.
Knokville, August 2.
Andrew - Johnson spoke -at Maryville to
day. A crowd of Radicals at the depot
greeted him with insulting remarks. While
speaking the Stokes Radical prcacher-
whippers of Blount County got up a crowd
to mob Mr. Johnson, with the declared in
tention of breaking up the speaking and
riding him on a rail. - They made three
charges on the stand, hut fell back, awed
each time by the firm attitude of Mr. John
son and his friends. There were several
knock down fights and considerable tumult
but no Bloodshed. Johnson spoke three
hours and made a telling speech similar to
others in the State. Ho devoted an hour
and a half to a telling discussion of financ

Another Important Decision.
Our Supreme Court on Tuesday,deliver
ed another of their rulings that have a spe
cial importance for onr people,in connec
tion with the times. Large amounts .of
money, are concerned and the heaviest in
terests of that large class of legal oharapters
known as fiduciaiy, as guardians, adminis
trators, executors, etc.
The case was-Killes Browu,against Win.
Wright, from DeKalb.
The Court decided that a prudent guard
ian, who before January,1863, loaned mon
ey of his wards on negro security, is not
liable,because of negro emanicipation ^here
by the money was lest. And that a guar
dian who took confederate money, in good
foitii for debts due his wards, when pru
dent men were generally taking such mon
ey, is protccted;and if he loaned the funds,
so received before the 1st days of January,
1863, on good security, and they were
Jose by th? results of the war, he is not lia
ble.
Hundreds of guardians, executors, trus
tees, etc, took Confederate money, which
was lost, who have been sued or threaten
ed with suit, who will now be relieved.—

decidedly the favorite remedy for chills and fe
ver, dumb ague, npd other diseases of a malari
ous origin, in the city of Savannah, where it is
prepared. The principal druggists of the city
would as much think of doing without castor
oil in their stores as to bo without this popular
(and deservedly so) remedy. It is a vegetable
preparation free from deleterious drugs, and acts
as a tonic upon the entire system, thereby in* ig-
orating the system so much so as to enable it to
throw off djseasp, Pjfafage does not nauseate or
sipken the patjeht, and can be taken by the most
delicate persons without fear. It should always
be ot hand as chills and fever creep upon_ us so
stealthily when we are not aware of its ap*
preach until it is upo|i us. ^ord to the wi^
