We copy from the Atlanta Constitution the following brief biographical notice of Dr. H. H. Tucker, the new Chancellor of the Univer sity, which is the fullest, and, as we believe, most reliable sketch of his life yet published : Rev.

Prof. Littlo was for several years Assistant State Geologist of Mississippi, and also occupied a chair in the University of that State.

Ho speaks several languages, and is an accom plished mathematician. Grand Encampment, I. 0. 0. F. On Tuesday morning, Aug. 11th, the Grand Encampment of Odd-Fellows of the State of Georgia, met at Odd-Fellows' Hall, iu the city of Savannah, at 9 o'clock, A. M., and was opened by Grand Patriarch C. J. Stroberg, of Macon—tbore being a full attendance of officers aud representatives. A good deal of business, looking to tba in terests of this branch of the Order, was trans acted, and after a harmonions session of one day, tho Grand Eucampmsnt adjourned.

Legitimate Fruits ortho Civil Rights Bill. We publish on our first page an articie from tho Albany News, showing the practical work ings of the so-called Civil Rights bill in that scetion. This is olearly a misnomer—it is not a civil rights, but a social equality meas ure. Scarcely a week passes that wo do net rend of rapes committed on whito girls by negro men, and many other similar outrages growing out of this vilo measure. It seems that in Mississippi the war between races inaugurated by this bill of abominations has already commenced. The town of Austin is, or was a fow days ago, in possession of two or three hundred armed negroes, who have broken into saloons,*&o., and are committing other excesses. Outbreaks are tbroatnod olso- wbere. Road the following, for example: HORRIBLE NEGRO PLOT DISCOVERED. (Special to N. 0. Bulletin.) New Ibebia, Aug. 7—A dreadful plot of the negroes has just been discovered hereto kill the inhabitants and to set fire to the resi dences and plantations in the parish of St. Martin. The facts were disclosed by a letter which was hnnded to a prominent white gentloinan by a republican, who vouches for the truth of tba statement it contains. The plan was to commence killing and burning at tho Lestrapes place, and con tinue their work of rapine and murder as far os St. Martinsville. A recommendation iamade in the letter to aet the plantations on fire, in order to find where money oonld be found. The negroes were to keep for themselves tho most beaotifbi women, and the parties who were to be killed were mentioned by same. As soon as the criminals ascertained that their horrid plane were discovered they fled the parish in hot haste. The greatest excitement prevails, and the people are thoroughly aroused and determin ed to discover and bring to punishment the villains who have meditated this dreadful massacre and pillage. Eug.

The Lnxury of New York Hotels and Their Tables. It is a matter of mnoh interest to those who visit New York to keep posted about the ho tels. Recently there has been quite a rivalry among the first-class betels about their bills of-fare, each striving to set the beat table for ItsguesfiB. We speak particularly of the ho tels on Broadway and Fifth Avenue—the Grand Central being tho iargeet, most cen traily located, and elegantly famished. Of •these fear or five leading hotels, the bills-of- fare are covered with the names of the most luxuriant viands of the season. The bill of the Grand Central especially, deserves setting apart as a notable specimen of modem cnlina- ry skill in the number, variety, and riebness ©fits dishes. It contains no less than eleven courses for dinner, anfi gives tho hours for no less than six meals every day, for tho moder ate sum of from $3 to $4 per day, including, of course, an elegantly furnished room for each •iuest. It would seem from this the tours of our travelers and the visits of our business men become rounds of pleasure as well as of busi ness.

Hill before the Southern Historical Society having been published originally, alone, at length in tho Atlanta Herald, we have been reqnested to publish the following most im portant correspondence, including letters of Gen Jos. E. Johnston and Gen. Wade Hamp ton, In which the latter gentleman states that Gen. R. E. Lee was strongly opposed to the removal of Gon. Johnston from the army of Tennessee, and that Gon. Lee had great con fidence in General Johnston as an army com mander. The letters are a most valuable and impor tant contribution to the unwritten history of the war. Gen. Colquitt's absence from the city has prevented earlier attention to the mattor. GEN. JOSEPn E. JOHNSTON’S LETTER. Gen. A. H. Colquitt, President Georgia Brancft Southern Historical Society: Dear Sir :—In hi9 oration before your in stitution, the Hon. B. H. Hill introduced the subject of my removal from tho command of the army noar Atlanta, in July, 1864. He de scribed the President as strongly opposed to the measure, and said that he expressed a high opinion of me as a General. It is not for me to attempt to reconcile his Excellency’s action with such an opinion; nor to decide which of the two is most probably a correct exponent of the President's opinions, himself or tho Hon. Mr. Hill. Nor is it a matter of concern to me whether the President was controlled in this measure by his own opinions, or those of emi nent persons to whom the orator referred with out naming thorn. He gave, however, a prin cipal place among these advisers to Gon. Lee. Being too weak to bear snch a weight as that of Gen. Lee’s condemnation, I relievo myself from it, or liability to it, by the following let ter from one whose eminence as a gentleman, soldier and civilian, makes bis testimony con clusive. As Mr. Hill's allegations were published by you, and are, I believe, a part of your archives, I respectfully ask that this paper may be pub lished also, and may be kept in juxtaposition to the oration. Most respectfully, your obedient servant, J. E. Johnston. GEN. WADE HAMPTON'S LETTER. Columbia. S. C., June 6th, 1874. My Dear General Your letter of the 19th May reached me early yesterday, having been forwarded from Mississippi. Col. Venable is perfectly correct in saying that Gen. Lee bad spoken freely to me in re gard to your removal from the command of the army of Tennessee. On that occasion be expressed a great regret that yon had been removed, and said that he had done ail in his power to prevent it. The Seoretary of War bad recently been at the General's head' quarters, near Petersburg, to consult as to this matter, and Gen. Lee assured me that be bad urged Mr. Seddon not to remove yon from command, and had said to him that if you could not command the army we had no one who could. He was earnest in expressing not only his regret at yonr removal, bnt his entire confi dence in yonreelf. This conversation made a strong impression on me, and though I have not given ail the details of it, I have given the substance. If this statement can be of any service to yon, you can use it in any way yon prefer. > Wade Hampton. Gen. J. E. Johnston.

All the yonng women in the country would do well to heed the words of Bishop Foster, addressed to the graduating class of the Wes leyan Female College in Cincinnati. He said *• Learn yonr obligations to the past; be care ful of the present, and prepare yourself, for the great ruture is before you. The reign of brain has come. Though yon may not be fonnd on the battle-field or at tho ballot-box, yon 6an build up the future by building up the men Yon live in a particularly exoiting time, when yon have placed ia opposition to yon one of the greatest of vines, and yon women will con. quer if all of those of yonr sex who are real women will combine. Beware of coxcombs and libertines. They are fools whether they know it or not. By yonr conduet toward them send them from your presence. Reserve your hearts and love for men. Be not what is known as a “ fashionable ”' woman. There is nothing so foolish as such a woman, and none but fools admire her. ..Crops In Coffee county are tolerably good, . .A colored man named George Washington went into Rome the other day ornamented with several severe gashes.
