Gborgia Press Association.— The
annual meeting of the Association will be
held at Americus on Wednesday, May, 16.
The election for officeis will take place at
this fiieetiog. By order of
J. H. Estillj, President.
W. G. WoidbY, Secretary.
A. DUNN; Lsq. —On the 24th day of
April, eighteen hundred and seventy-two,
we issued the first number of The Gazette,
and hence this number closes Vol. I We
are finder many obligations to our Inends
for their kindness to us during the past
twelve months, and particularly are we in
debted to those who by their promptness
afforded us that financial aid which has en
abled us to keep the machinery running.
The patronage afforded us has been very
liberal, fully as much so as we expected.
But, while we feel like thanking those
of our subscribers who have been prompt in
paying the small stipend which we exact in
consideration of furuishiDg a paper, there
are othfcfs who we regret have not given us
the opportunity of thanking them. We
delight to have a chance, of thanking sub
scribers, it makes our editorial blood tin
gle and causes it to course through the edi
torial veins with a lapidify equal to that ol
the faithful mouser when espying its prey
cut off from all retreat, or the movements of
the Arab courser when feeling the hot
breath of the prairie fire approach him.—
Indeed, the pleasure exfprienced is one that
has to be lelt in erder to be properly appre
ciated. \Yfe have Carefully avoided appeal
ing to subscribers for “back rations,” be
cause we feared to injure their feeling*, well
khdwing that time would bring Ihfioi up all
right; but we fear that time, aged as he is,
will outlast our frail body, and we be left in
the lurch. Another reason why we feel it
our duty to make this appeal is, we are the
veriest numb-scull at keeping books, [right
here is a chance for soan of the friends ow
ing us to put in “or anything else,”] and we
fear that if death should claim us before
these little claims should be settled, (he ad
ministrator or executor of our estate would
have au infinite amount of trouble and vex
ation in reducing the same to anything
like symmetrical ship-shape. We therefore
make this appeal in behalf of posterity as
well as iu our own behalf, and indeed more
in posterity's behalf than our own.
Our friends will therefore see the propri
ety of attending to this matter as soon as
possible—the sooner the better.
We hope we shall not have to allude to
this subject again.
Exchanges. —We are in receipt of the
following valuable publications:
JDemorest’s Monthly Magazine for May.
Each number of this excellent monthly
bears unmistakable evidence of substantial
improvement. We find it to be highly ap
preciated by the ladies.
Young America, for May, by the same
publisher, is a sprightly little work for the
young cncs, and by them is looked for with
avidity and read with interest.
The llural ©arolinian, for April, should
have been noticed last week, but it escaped
our attention. When so much really valu
able inl'oimation to the farmer can be ob
tained for the small sum of §2, we do not
see why this work should not be found in
every house. Published by Walker, Evans
& Cogswell, Charleston.
A.Mlstaice. —Some of our readers con
cluded from our railroad article last week
that we were opposed to a road by the route
last proposed. We do not desire to be so
understood. The truth is we are in favor
of any railroad we can get, and we want
that Bpecdily. We hope all our citizens will
give substantial encouragement to the efforts
in behalf of this enterprise, so that it can
soon be determined whether there is a pros
pect of success in that direction.
In the meantime we do not intend to lose
Bight of the branch to the Air-Line. If we
fail by the lower route, we must succeed by
the upper, and wc iucline to the opinion
that we must have that anyhow.
Declined. —We have, after considera
tion, concluded to decline an article receiv
ed under the caption of “Envy.” We have
not. the time to prepare the article for pub
lication, and, if wo had, we doubt whether
it would be well received by our readers.—
We think we do the author a favor by pur
suing this course.
We are also in receipt of a communica
tion post-marked Opelika, Ala., without the
author’s name. This, of course, is declined.
The People’s Clojiiinq Store.— Mr.
W. A. Ramsey, the clothing man of Au
gusta, announces a lull and complete stock

a Bupp’y of Hats, Caps, Iruuks, Valises,
&c., and invites an examination.
Dentistry. —Dr. Gurley gives notice to
the people ot Elbcrton and vicinity that he
will be in our town on the sth of May, for
the purpose of offering his professional ser
vices to the citizens for a few days.
A weekly mail has been established be
tween Washington and Lincoluton.
A LIGHTHOUSE TRAGEDY.
Last Tuesday there occurred at the Cape
Itomain lighthouse gtatiorf a tragedy which
is as terrible in its details, and in the mys
tery which surrounds it, as the Brooklyn
Goodrich tragedy. It is one of those hor
rible mysteries that baffle all attempts at so
lution, and around which a cloud of obscu
rity is probably destined to bang forever.
The facts of the case, as far as they can be
gathered, are given by Air. Julius L. Lee,
one of the assistant lighthouse keepers, and
arc as follows: Capt. Andrew Johnson is the
keeper of fix* lighthouse at Cape Remain,
where he resided with his wife. On the
evening of the Bth instant, about 5 o'clock,
Capt. Johnson weut up to the lighthouse to
light and trim the lamp for the Dight. He
left his wife in the house, which is in sight
ot the lighthouse, and in the yard of which
she was seen by him up to six o’clock, when
it became too dark to distinguish objects.
At about six o’clock Mrs. Johnson, who,
as has been previously stated, was in the
yard, kissed her hand to her husband, who
was in the lighthouse, and went within
doors. At about half-past eight o’clock in
the evening Julius L. Leo, one of the assist
ant keepers, went to the lighthouse to re
lieve Capt. Jolidsod. He arrived there at
about fihy-five minutes past eight o’clock,
and, after the two exchanged good night,
Capt. Johnson departed for his home. In a
few moments Lee went out on the piazza,
and saw Capt. Johnson running towards the
dwelling ol the assistants, crying out that
his wife was dead. Lee immediately rushed
down from the lighthouse, and, together
with Mrs. NelLon, the wife of the other as
sistant keeper, and his own wife, Mrs. Lee,
proceeded to Capt, Johnson’s residence,when
a horrible sight met their view. They found
Capt. Johnson and Air. Nellson, his assist
ant, standing over the body of Mrs. John
son, which was lying dead in the centre ol
the floor, clad in her night-clothes, and sur
rounded by a pool of blood. A revolver, be
longing to her husband, was lying by her
side, but the chambers were not discharged.
The deadly instrument with which the
terrible deed had been committed was a ra
zor, by which her throat had beeu cut fiom
ear to ear. There had evidently been au
attempt to use the pistol, which was not suc
cessful, owing to the fact that it had been
loaded for a long time. About the room was
lying a lot ot wearing apparel ot the unfor
tunate victim, and some ol her husband’s
jewelry. All of her own jewelry, however,
was missing, as was also a lot of money
which she had in her possession at the time
of her death. The door leading lrom the
room to the piazza, which fastened on the
inside, was opeo, and an attempt had evi
dently been made to pass out ot it. In the
garden below a pair of gold spectacles be
longing to the deceased were found. Be
yond these there was no trace or clue as to
the manner in which the unfortunate woman
had met her death*- .Previous to the trage
dy Mrs. Johnson had called upon her neigh
bor, Mrs. Lee, and appeared to be in good
health and cheerful spirits. Capt. Johnson
states that she had once told him that she
had on a previous occasion attempted to take
her own life, and that on several coccasions
she had talked and acted us if she was a lit
tle “flighty.” The deceased was a native of
Sweden, but had lived in this country for
twenty-two years. At the time of her death
she was fifty-three years old. The husbaud,
who was almost distracted, made a tempora
ry coffin on the following day, and dispatch
ed a messenger to McCle'lanville for the cor
oner, but at the time that our informant left
the scene of the tragedy that officer had not
arrived.
The whole affair is clouded in mystery,
and it is impossible to say whether the unfor
tunate lady committed suicide or was mur
dered for her money and jewelry. As soon
as the inquest is held further particulars
may be developed, but the case in its present
aspect rivals the mystery which hangs over
the late tragedy in Brooklyn, in which Mr.
Goodrich lost his life, and which has here
tofore baffled all attempts at a solution.—
Capt. Johnson and his wife, as all the wit
nesses who knew him testify, lived in the
most pleasant relations with each other, and
whether the unfortunate woman in a fit of
temporary insanity took her own life, or
whether she was murdered by some un
known villain, is a question that has yet to
be determined.
[Charleston News and Courier.
Trouble in Dakien. —A special dis
patch tft the Savannah Advertiser, of the
date of the 10th inst., gives information of
a serious difficulty between the white and
colored people of Mclntosh county. The
sheriff attempted to arrest a negro outlaw,
and in so doing provoked the indignation of
the entire colored population. The negroes
assembled, armed, in the town of Darien
and attempted to rescue the prisoner. The
whites armed themselves, also, protected the
sheriff and prevented a rescue. A collision
between the'armed bodies seemed at one
time inevitable, but happily was averted
and bloodshed prevented.
Hindman's Murderer. —A dispatch
from Memphis says: An unsuccessful at
tempt has been made for the release on hab
eas corpus of Vaughn, under arrest for the
murder of Gen. E indman. It is understood
that he has made a confession, implicating
persons in Helena, but the police authorities
refuse to give any information concerning
the case.
The Air-Line Railroad will be complete
very soon, says the Atlanta Herald, and its
connections closed all through to New York.
It is rumored that an extensive combination
has been formed to lease or buy up the
whole line through from New York to Mont
gomery and thence to New Orleans,
A DAYS WORK IN GALVESTON
A horrible summary of one day’s brutal
and bloody- work in Galveston, Texas, illus
trative of the insecurity of life m the Lone
Star State, comes to us in a Galveston paper
of the Bth. The first item occurs on Tnes*
day and forms a fit prelude to the terrible
and Unprovoked assaults on the day follow
ifig,. c quote : Sunday night threo men
got into an altercation about a horse and
u af?y which McKay had. loaned two ot
thett'i. The dispute become ‘so violent that
McKay lost his temper, and turning upon
Clarke, who was nearest, beat him in a most
horrible manner over the head with a load
ed whip. He then paid his attentions to
Berglt, whom lie hurt severely. Clarke was
taken to the hospital, where his wounds were
dressed. He was in a terrible condition and
was a mass of biood from head to foot.
The second is the case ot two men getting
into a dispute over a shirt, when one stepped
behind the other and drove a large, rusty
knife into his back, penetrating the left lung,
from which he will probably die.
1 he third and most lamentable occutience
and which excited the revengeful feelings of
the inhabitants so powerfully that a' furor
of excitement was created, and threats of
lynching the madman were freely incfulgcd.
One Helms, arriving in the city, took lodg
ings at the Chicago House. After alarming
the inmates he walked out Sunday night,
went into the market and cut one man under
the arm without any warning; left the mar
ket house and stabbed another in the back;
then broke into a run, and meeting a gray
headed man, cut him in the back as he was
running, stubbed a man named Burns a
little further on, returned and passing
through a party of four, walked botweeu
one and the wall aud stabbed him; his com
rades informed an officer named
who in endeavoring to arrest the dangerous
luffian, was stabbed in the breast, knocked
down and stabbed twice while dowa, from
which wounds he subsequently died, Two
men coming to his aid, one of them had his
coat drawn over his arms, and before he
knew it the knife was buried iu his back.
This ends the series of crimes, and the
only possible explanation of it seems to be
that the desperado was recovering from an
attack of mania a-potu.
Railroad Monopolies. —The experi
ence of New Jersey fer over twenty years
in the Camden and Amboy Railroad has
produced widespread prejudice against the
grant ot exclusive privileges to great corpo
rations. This prejudice is shared by many
other States from similar experiences, and
has produced souie reactionary legislation.
A general railroad law has been enacted in
New Jersey, the result of which will be the
construciiou under its provisions of several
new roads to cross the State. The fight
for the old monopoly was a fierce one, and
King Tom Scott brought all bis resources to
bear to sustain it, but in vain, fie bad leased
the road for nine hundred and ninety-nine
years for the Rennsylvauia Central, agreeing
to pay ten per cent, dividends on the capital
stock, and this bargain he lias to stick to.
But now he will have to compete with seve
ral roads already projected, and which, in a
few years, will come in to share the enor
mous profits the Camden and Amboy has
enjoyed exclusively for twenty years.
The Rcunsylvania Constitutional Conven
tion, now in session, has also the subject of
railrjad monopolies before it. It has adopt
ed an article providing against the consolida
tion of connecting lines, and throwing wide
open the door of competition. It prohibits
combinations fur discrimination in freights,
embarking in mining and manufacturing
enterprises, and speculations in real estate.
It imposts other healthful restrictions.
In the western States meetings and or
ganizations arc formed to check the grasp
ing power and formidable combinations of
the railroad interest from which the great
f rming industry of that section suffers.

Prince Fred. —We understand from
good authority that Grant contemplates a
scheme to reward Sheridan for his compla
cency and punish Sherman for his contu
macy in the matter of their different treat
ment of his boy Freddie. Sherman’s place
will be made so unpleasant to him—the
Secretary of War really being General of
the Army dcw —that his high spirit will take
offence and induce him to resign. Of course
Sheridan then steps in. How do the Sher
man boys—the friends of “Old Tceumseh”
—like this ? They will probably like it as
much as Sherman now likes Grant.
[Cincinnati Enquirer.
Forney on Connecticut. —The Che
valier Forney secs the handwriting on the
wall. In the Press of the 9th inst. he has
this to say :
Five thousand Democratic majority in
Connecticut is a surprising loss for the Re
publican, and we fear cannot be wholly laid
to the charge oflocal Republican dissensions
though the fact that 3,000 ol the loss oc
curred in the one city of New Haven points
in that direction. The Credit Mobilier ex
posures and the back salary grab must doubt
less be held largely responsible.
Dr. Josiah C. Nott, a distinguished citi*
zen of Mobile, died on the 31st ult., aged
sixty-nine years. His father, Abraham
Nott, a native of Connecticut, settled in
South Carolina in early life, and represent
ed the State in 1800. The deceased was
Medical Director in the Confederate service
during the rebellion under General Bragg.
DOWN AMONG THE DEAD.
Anxious to obtain a view of the ship be
low the water, the Herald correspondent
procured a diving jrurt, with the permission
and under the direction of the wrecker and
divers-who were at work tipon the hull, and
descended into the interior of the wreck.
The waters were clear and every object
plainly visible around the ship where she
lay on'the reef. It was the first time for the
correspondent to seek ipjbrjimtiojn beneath
the waters, and the sensation is almost inde
scribable. The air from above, which is
furnished through the rubber tube, comes
with a hissing sound, producing a strange
feeliug. I shudder at the thought of being
immersed so deeply, and how slight an acci
dent would insure instant destruction. All
around the objects looked weird-like, the
glasses in the casque magnifying the al
ready bloated forms into twice their size
The waters are very cold, and a chilly feel
ing creeps over me at first, but as I proceed
it wears away and I enter upou the task I
have undertaken with more uerve thau I
fancied I possessed. The immense hull lies
well down on the port side, which is broken
in several places from contact with the reef.
Fish were swimming around eagerly devour
ing the particles of food which arc to be
picked up.
Ricking my way towards the hull I catch
hold of a rope and scramble up the deck.
The place where I have descended is where
the ship parted, and a sectional view of the
hull and cargo is obtained. The forward
hatch is open and I peer down the hold.
Oh ! what a spectacle is presented ! The
cargo has broken bulk aud lays heaped up
in a confused mass; bodies of men aud wo
men, bruised and torn, were jammed among
the eases and crates. It is a horrible sight
to look upon, and the magnifying powers of
the orbs through which 1 gaze upon it ren
ders it all the more horrible. Fishes swim
in and cut among the bodies and boxes,
feasting upon the bodies of the dead. Limbs
are strewn around, having broken off Iroin
the body from the continual action of the
waters, which, when agitated drive against
the ugly pieces of the broken hull that
stick up here and render my movements
vciy hazardous. Having seen enough of
this part of the sunken horror, i proceed
lowaidsone of the stecragi cabins, the one
where all the women and children were
drowned as they lay in their bunks. Scram
bling along the deck, guided by the rope
from above, and assisted by one of the di
vers who has undertaken to conduct me
through tie wreck, I reached the compan
ion-way. It the sight iu the hold among
the cargo was horrible, the one that now
met my gaze was ten times more so. There,
lying in an immense heap, were a hundred
or more bodies They looked for all the
world as if they were alive, with arms dis
located, eyes staring wildly, faces grinning
as it were at y on and moving backward aud
forward with the under current, some were
dressed, many were halt nude. Children
were clinging to their mothers and stout men
were clasping their wives and seeming as if
they met their fate with calm resignation.
No description of the bodies brought to the
surface could convey an idea ot the horrid
sight in that cabin. I close my eyes and
motion to my conductor my readiness to
leave. I have seen enough in that charnel
house, the recollectiou of which will never
faae. My conductor motions me towards
the steerage cabin, where the men were by
themselves, and where there was such a
rush for the compauion-way. Reeringdown
into that cabin I saw a similar picture of
death. Bodies of stalwart men, old and
young, were hustied together on the stair
way, giving—from their distended nostrils,
gaping mouths and staring, glassy eyes
some conception of ti e ten or which seized
them as they vainly struggled to reach the
deck, but were prevented by the waves
which swept over the ship as she keeled
over aud filled the cabin.
From another part of the vessel I obtain
ed a view ot the sleeping apartment. Here
piled up in heaps on the port side, were
numbers ot bodies of men, and strewn among
them bed-clothing of one kind and another.
From contiuual knocking against the stanch
ions and sharp, jagged woodwork which is
splintered and broken from the linings of
the bunks, the faces and limbs of these dead
are more ghastly than any I have ever 3ecn.
Imagination cannot picture anything more
terrible than what was in this compartment.
The flesh is torn from the laces of rnaDy of
the dead j others again are bruised and bat
tered about their heads and faces, which
are red and bloody, and in striking contrast
to the pale, livid features of others, which
the action of the waters has not disturbed.
While I stand here another of the divers
descends and commences to send up some
of the bodies. He, however, is more intent
upou securing the cargo than sending up
the bodies, and only does so now to gain ac
cess to some boxes and trunks which were
lying beoeath them.
Having seen enough ef the horrors be
neath the water on that fatal reef—horrors
of the deep which will never be erased from
my vision—l decided to go above, and mo
tioned accordingly to the men who were
above in the boat, and pumping down tome
the necessary supply of air to sustain life, in
a few minutes I was once more at the sur
face gazing upon the light of heaven and
experiencing a sensation of relief at having
left the chambers of death in the cabins ot
the iil-fated Atlantic. For some time I
could scarcely realize that I was above the
water. Below everything had a greenish
hue, and as the sunlight struck across my
eyes I experienced a strange emotion about
them. Although the undertaking was a
hazardous one and the scenes below appall
ing, it is well I went down and am thus en
abled to convey feebly something of an idea
of the hjdden scenes of a calamity which
has caused the whole world to mourn.
The War in Louisiana. —A conference j
of city members of the Fusion General As- !
sembly and a committee of the presidents of
the Independent Club of New Orleans is
sued an address to the people, of which the
following arc extracts :
“Public opinion throughout ihe Union is
against the usurpation, and onr only danger,
if there be any, will eouie from ourselves.
If the people of Louisiana will sanction by
obedience and ac juiescenee. this govern
ment, they will give it the only validity it
can ever acquire. It is only by our own
submission that our cause can be defeated.
We recommend the people of the several
parishes, for the purpose ot most effectual
resistance to this usurpation, and of mutual
defence, to join the People’s League of
Louisiana by the formation of parish coun
cils. In correspondence with the Central
Council at New Orleans. We must remem
ber that there can be no de fa do govern
ment as against a de jure government in a
State, and that the only way by which the
Kellogg usurpation can become established
as a government is by acquiescence of the
people; that the issue presented in theLou
isana case to Congress aud the people of
other States is neither a party nor a section
al one, aud for this reason we have the sup
port of a large and influential section of the
Republican party, as well as of the elements
which composed the Liberal party in the
late Presidential contest. The people of New
Orleans are not t<> pay taxes, cannot in fact
pay them, nor arc they giving any recogni
tion to the usurpers.”
A Gipsy Convention in Washington.
—Ten bands of gipseys are now concentra
ted at Crystal Springs, north of this city,
five cf whom made this District their win
ter quarters. They ;re uow waiting for
other bands to join them in a kind of annu
al conventiou before separating for the com
ing season, They live in small tents or cab
ins, which they erect whenever night
overtakes them, and some of the bands have
a sort ot an ambulance wagon in which they
sleep. Their acknowledged means of live
lihood are peddling and horse trading for
the men, and fortune telling for the women;
but the policemen think that much of the
horse stealing canied on in Maryland and
Virgiuia during the past two months lias
been done by the members of some of these
gangs. Sometimes they have many fine
horses, and at ether times only a few, but
always ready to trade. The chief is an old
man, knov;r, only by the name of Crabtree,
who seems to be respected and obeyed by
all the band. On the arrival of some few
more bahds, which are expected from the
South and West, they will separate again
and be scattered all over the country.

A CARD.
Mr. Editor: I notice in the Elbertoa Gazette
a card over the signature *f J S. Hammond, in
answer to which I have this to say: First—That
my fall name not appearing under my card was
evidently an oversight of the editor, since it was
affixed by mysalt and forwarded by a friend un
changed. Second—fiis denial of having refused
to tHke $8.20, which he justly owed me, in part
payment of his extraordinary bill is an infamous
and deliberate lie. Third—That if by duplicatinf.
and triplicating our orders he mean* to say that
we eat as much as wc wished, he is not far from
right; but if he wishes to convey the impression
that we eat more than one meal edeh, the very
face of the assertion bears the impress ®f a false
hood He advertised meals at Fifty Cts. each, and
of course when he departs from it he is guilty of
practicing a base and ungentleirtanfy fraud upon
his customers. Therefore, I reiterate every syl- ?
lable contained in my first card.
