Wednesday Morning, January 8, 1873.
FOR SECRETARY* OF STATE,
[Subject to a Democratic nomination,]
Jf. C. BARNETT,
Former Secretary of Stale.
The editor of this paper is .ab
sent attending the Fair at Savannah.
We expected an editorial correspon
dence, but it lias failed to reach us.—
We, however, learn from other sources
that the Fair was a success in every
respect.
The Legislature.—Ou Monday last
about one-third of the Legislative
members, who meet officially to-day,
were engaged in a pleasant little game
of caucusing ever Speakership, Sen
ator, &c. Atlantese telegrams of that
day assert that “ The contest for
Speaker is very close; no one has a
majority. Anderson (of Cobb) is a
little ahead.” The telegram further
States that “ Mr. Stephens has arrived.
He will not be a candidate if Johnson
will run. Hill and Gordon are both
sanguine.”
Sleet-Storm.—Last Sunday a great
sleet-storm prevailed in New York city
and the neighborhood, breaking down
the telegraph wires, trees, &c., by the
accumulations of ice, and doing avast
amount of damage.
Stokes, the murderer of the noto
rious Jim Fisk of New York has been
tried^found guilty, and sentenced to
be hanged on the 2Sth of February.
We presume he will appeal, of course,
to the Supreme Court, and we ima
gine his chances of escape are yet in
the ascendancy. Who is executed in
these days, having abundance of
money ?
Hon. A. H. Stephens.—We call
attention to theadvertisement. in anoth
er column of the School History of the
United States from the pen of Geor
gia’s great statesman and author
whose name appears above. We
think the schools of Georgia should,
one and all, adopt it, as doyl'^''''’’
is the best history of ’■■' * '
Southern Literature*
We are one Southron who holds an
abiding faith in the future literary
greatness of the South. Since ibe
disastrous war which swept our wealth
away by hundreds of millions of dol
lars, and revolutionized our social and
political condition, we have gained,
undoubtedly, an intensified literary
activity which has achieved great re
sults, and promises still greater. The
large number of books written by
Southern authors since the war, and
the vigorous and brilliant “crop” of
rising writers for the Southern press,
afford matter for just pride to every
true lover of the South, and of hu
man learning in general.
We are led to these reflections, so
lacing in their character amid ‘the
many calamities of the last decade, by
examining carefully the last number
of “The Southern Magazine, of
Baltimore. It is beyond all doubt the
ablest of the Southern monthlies ; and
its success (now a “ fixed fact”) may
well be hailed as a matter of patriotic
congratulation. It has improved won
derfully since its able conductors,
Messrs. Murdoch, Brown and Hill,
have controlled it; and it is yet im
proving. We do not intend to heap
upon it any fulsome praise; and we
freely admit that we conceive there is
yet room for farther improvement.
But we repeat that it is far the best
embodiment of the ideas, interests, his
tory and spirit of the South among all
the Southern magazines. Many of its
prose articles—“ The Second Empire of
Germany" in the December number,
for instance—are as able as those of
any monthly of our continent. We
can not say as much always, for the
few articles in rhyme that adorn its
pages. But these are brief; this is
not a poetical age ; doubtless we are
rapidly outliving the poetical era of
our protracted personal existence; and
a great writer said in an age less de
voted to materialism and prosaic utili
tarianism than ours,
“ Oar chilling climate scarcely bears
A .png of bayB in fifty years.'’
Of rhymesters in these days of railroads
and general materialism, we have a
vast swarm such as Sir Philip Sidney
termed in his day “ caterpillars of the
commonwealth”: of true poets, few,
or none. Of English rhymsters not
one great “ first-class” toet : In Amer
ica, less than none.
Sest Xftagazine Literature.
The “ progress of the age” has de
veloped improvements in, at least, one
branch of periodical literature as vast
and striking as that which has been
witnessed in locomotion and the trans
mission of intelligence introduced by
modern applications of steam-power
and electricity.
We allude to Magazine literature.
Our own great Republic can hon°* ~
larcre number of *•*
and
. oiU 80 £?r6clt
dr _ „„ our commonwealth in the
uismal reign of the roguish dynasty
of scalawags and carpet-baggers. We
shall look confidently forward to the
enactment of such laws as the best
interests of Georgia demand, and such
alone.
We turn for a moment to the con
sideration of another set of duties de
volving on the present Legislature:
we niOan the election of various offi
cers to fill various and important posi
tions. We sincerely trust that these
elections may be conducted in such a
spirit of moderation and forbearance
on the part of candidates and their
friefids as to avoid bitter personal
feuds in the future, and that the suc
cessful candidates may prove, after
their election, by their acts, to have
been the very best in the field. We
are sure the present Legislature is too
wise to ignore past able and honest
services in her public men as preg
nant arguments iu making present se
lections, and “ Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation" commend themselves as
Well in the character of aspirants to
office as in anything else pertaining to
the successful conduct of our Gov
ernment.
All Right at Last.
We heartily congratulate our read
ers on the fact that on this day for the
first time in the past four years, the
people of this county, and ef this
Senatorial District, are represented in
the Legislature by gentlemen of high
intelligence, integrity and ability ;
gentlemen who will wield an influ
ence in that body, and whose influence
will be ever in the right cause, that of
“the greatest good to the greatest
number.” We commend to the high
consideration of the members cf the
Legislature with whom they shall be
associated, our worthy and excellent
Representative, Hon. W. W. William
son, and Hon. J. N. Gilmore, our wor
thy Senator, and doubt not they will
win an honorable distinction for use
fulness in the body of which they are
members.
Hon. H. Y. Johnson.—A writer
in the Chronicle &f Sentinel suggests the
name of Hon. H. V. Johnson for Con
gress to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Gen. A. R. Wright. If the
people are wise they will call this
great statesman from his retirement
to some position in the national coun
cils. We need his services. If he is
not elected to the U. S. Senate then
we hope the people of his District
will unanimously demand that he be
come their representative in Congress.

We regard it as the very best of the
American monthlies, and as quite
equal to any of the English magazines.
“ The fight of a man with a Railroad”
in the December number is of direct
personal interest to every one who
travels on railways. The “ Cabinet
of President Washington” in the Jan
uary number is a graphic word-paint
ing of our early Republic. The other
leading articles in the January num
ber are of great merit; and no one of
the slightest literary taste can fail to
be interested in their perusal. “A
chapter of Autobiography”—‘ Ffaded
leaf of History”—“The Voice in the
Pines” (by Paul H. Hayne)—“In the
Straits of Magellan” (by Mrs. Agassiz)
—“Among the Ruins,” and other fas
cinating articles, are found in the Jan
uary number.
Periodical Literature.
The January number of the Eclectic
Magazine commences a new volume,
and commences it in such a way as to
challenge the attention of every intel
ligent reader to the claims of this
sterling periodical. It is embellished
with two steel engravings, one of
them being a reproduction of Guido’s
beautiful and pathetic portrait of
“Beatrice di Cenci.” This is one of
finest pictures that ever appeared in
an American Magazine, and is only an
exceptionally striking example of the
excellent steel engravings with which
the Eclectic is illustrated every month,
and which add greatly to the value
of its volumes. A fine portrait of Dr.
Livingstone also accompanies this
number: A stern and adventurous
physiognomy.
Iu literature the Eclectic is always
exceptionally strong. Gleaning from
the entire field of English and conti
nental current literature, it presents,
from month to month, such an array of
Scientific Papers, Essays, Biographi
cal Sketches, Reviews, Poems, and
Serial and Short Stories, as no single
magazine could hope to rival; and it
was never so comprehensive and va
rious as it promises to be in the new
year. In the February number, a
new story, entitled “Too Soon,” by
the author of “Patty,” will be com
menced, printed from the author’s ad
vance sheets; and in addition to the
usual English sources, a series of trans
lations is promised from the Revue dcs
Deux Mondes, and the leading Ger
man periodicals.
As the prospectus states, “the aim
of the Eclectic is to be instructive with
out being dull, and entertaining with
out being trival.” It appeals to all
cultivated readers, and now is the time
for subscription.

The Sandwich Island?.—The tel
egraph announced some days since the
death of the Hiwaiian monarch, King
Kamehameha V. He expired in his pal
ace «f Iolani at Honolulu, at 20 min
utes after ten o’clock, A- M., on the
11th day of December last.
He is the test of the Royal line of
Hiwaiian monarchs, and his death
leaves those fine islands constituting
the kingdom without specific provis
ion for the contingency of the succes
sion. Immediately after the monarch’s
death, a cabinet council was held at
the Royal Palace, and an order was
passed convening the Legislative As
sembly of the Islands in Honolulu on
the 8th* day of January, 1S73—Tnis
day. In the meantime, commissioners
have been dispatched to the Hiwaiian
kingdom from the U. S. Government;
and it is reasonably conjectured that
an effort will be made to annex that
kingless monarchy to the United
States.
The Hiwaiian Gazette ofHonalulu,
of the 11th ult., reaches us heavily
draped in mourning, and bears many
evidences of the great grief the death
tyf the Monarch has caused in his do
minions. The Hiwaiian Group con
sists of 13 Islands, situated in.the Pa
cific Ocean in the same latitude as the
West Indies, and about two thousand
miles Southwest of San Francisco.
Their aggregate area is 6,500 miles—
a little greater than that of the States
of Connecticut and Rhode Island put
together. The total population is less
than 100,000. W r e look with great in
terest to the future of these fine Is
lands.

TBS SCHOOL fUSS.
The following circular has just been
sent to the various county Treasurers
by the State School Commissioner:
Department of Education, )
Atlanta, Ga., December 2& 1S72. >
To the County Treasurer of- County:
Dear Sir: I take pleasure in an
nouncing to you that there is now
ready for distribution $100,000 of the
fund raised from the tax authorized by
“An Act to provide for the payment of
the debt due to teachers and schooi offi
cers who did service under the Public
School La w in the year 1S71,” approved
August 19, 1872. The distributive part
of your county is , for which a
warrant will be drawn in your favor
by the Governor udIcss there exists one
of the three following legal bars to
immediate distribution:
1. If there has been no return of
the enumeration of the school popula
tion of your county, there can be no
distribution under the law.
2. If the amoumt of the School
debt in the county has not been repor
ted to this office, there can be no dis
tribution till that report is made by the
proper officer.
3. If the debt reported is less than
the pro rata going to the county,
only the amount of the debt can be
drawn.
In the first two cases, the whole pro
rata, and, in the last excess of it over
the debt, will remain in the Treasury
of the State, to the credit of the county.
In all other cases the whole amount
may be drawn.
For the distribution of the fund af
ter it reaches the county, I give the
two following rules, as in my opinion,
deducible from the provisions of the
law:
1. Each County Commissioner
will be entitled to receive, from fcbe
county’s pro rata, an amount which
shall bear the same ratio to the entire
pro rata that his claim bears to the en
tire school debt of the county.
2. The remainder must be appor
tioned among the sub-districts in
the proportion of the number of
children in each between the ages of
six and twenty-one years, and must
be paid out to lawful claimants in pro
portion to the amounts of the several
claims.
When any county Treasurer cannot
attend in person to receive his warrant,
and draw the money thereon, the same
may be done by executing to some
one a power of attorney to represent
him.
Whether the warrant is applied for
in person, or by an attorney in fact, the
County Treasurer must be identified,
as such, by a certificate over the signa-
*”re, and bearing the seal of the Ordi-
* his county.

portance of great through lines by
rail and water with the far West, es
pecially the Atlantic aud Great West

combined organized and sustained ef
fort to be known abroad of the advan
tages which the South offers to the
interest of the whole country, in the
increased prosperity of the South as
well as enabling the Western farmer
to work his land profitably. Millions

The Collision on.the fiffacon and
Western Railroad.
Fearful Loss of Life and Destruction of
Property.
Brief mention was made in this pa
per yesterday of a most appalling dis
aster which had occurred on the Ma
con and Western Railroad, resulting in
the death of eight human beings, the
wounding of as many more, and the
destruction of many thousand dollars’
worth of property. It is seldom that
the journalist is called upon to record
so sad a casualty as having occurred
in the South. Occasionally the country
is thrilled with intelligence of such ac
cidents having occurred in remote
sections of the country, but they very
rarely happen at one’s door; and, least
of all, was an accident of so dreadful a
character expected to happen on the
Macon and Western Road.
This read is a good one, and has
heretofore enjoyed the reputation of
being one of the best managed of any
in the South. It is one hundred and
three miles long, has no bridge, only
one culvert, not a foot of trestle work,
and no deep cuts nor high fills. The
locomotives and cars have been re
garded as good as any in the South,
Until within the past few weeks it
has been a rare occurrence for a train
on this road to be compelled to run
out of time; but latterly, as has here
tofore been stated in this paper, the
road has been so crowded with busi
ness, the weather so bad, and water so
scarce, that nearly all the schedules
have been deranged, the trains, with
few exceptions, arriving, at either end,
behind time.
But that was not the case Thursday
morning when the accident occurred.
The train from Atlanta left a few min
utes behind time, hut this was fully
made up by the time it had reached
Lovejoy’s, from which station, to
within about three miles of Bear
Creek, where the accident occurred,
the train was running strictly on time.
Mr. Robert A. Harkie was conductor
on this train, and Mr. F. M. Mickle-
john the engineer. Mr. Harkie is a
watchful and trusty officer, and a most
courteous gentleman. He has never
been known to be negligent when
there was the remotest possibility of
danger. In this case he and his engi
neer were in strict performance of their
duty. They were"not running at an
unusual rate of speed, but were on
time, and sure of reaching Bear Greek
at the very minute the train was due
there, where it was to meet the up-
train. This statement, gleaned from
the most reliable sources of informa
tion, completely exonerates all the
officers connected with the down-train
from a.uy blame in the matter.
The up-train was in charge of Con
ductor C. M. White. The engineer
was Mr. Alexander Johnson, a com
paratively new man on the road; but
one who came into its service with
adequate endorsement from creditable
authority.
Few people have traveled on the
Macon and Western Road without
having made the acquaintance of
Charlie White, the conductor. He is
distinguished as a genial and obliging
officer, yet one who stickles for every
just right of the incorporation by
which he is employed/ No man was
ever more rigid, and at the same time,
more courteous in the discharge of
his duty. Within the past three
months the writer of this has made
many trips over the road with him,
several times upon trains that were
running out of time, and had occasion
to notice his extreme carefulness to
avoid even a possible risk of danger.
One naturally felt safe while on a
train that was under his charge, his
extreme cautiousness precluding all
anxiety lest danger should be encoun
tered.
As stated above he was in charge
of the ill-fated train, which left Macon
at ten o’clock Wednesday night. His
train left Macon on time, ran on time
to Bear Creek, when it should have
stopped to await the down train.
Thinking that the train would, of
course stop at Bear Creek, as usual,
to await the down train, Mr. White
was sitting m a car in conversation
with Mr. Kendrick, one of the officers
of the road. Up had not observed that
the train had passed the station, and
the first intimation ho had of the fact
was the dreadful crash of the collision.
The engineer, whose duty it was to
be on the lookout, to blow his whistle
when approaching a station, and to
stop tiie train at all appointed places
without any instructions to that effect,
was at his post and asleep, as were
also the fireman, Louis Tisero, and
the wood passer Charles Horn—three
men on the engine, and not one on the
lookout for danger. Thus the train
passed Bear Creek, not halting until
compelled to do so by the fearful ca
tastrophe which was attended by such
fatal results.
None of these were dangerously hurt.
No white person was killed.
It was reported yesterday that two
others of the wounded negroes had
died, but this report lacks confirma
tion.
The baggage car of the down train
was wrecked, aud its contents consid
erably damaged. Among this was the
baggage of the Strakosch troupe, in
cluding the fine piano, which was car
ried along for use in the concerts.
None of the troupe was injured.
The remains of the wreck were re
moved from the track yesterday morn
ing and the traius ran through as usual,
though considerably behind time.
The down passenger train was com
posed of two Macon and Western cars
and two Western and Atlantic cars.
All the freight trains on the road
were more or less deranged by the ac
cident; but will now be enabled to re
sume their regular schedules.

AGUE AND FEVER,
OR CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medielne jneUy
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the public for the safe. certain, speedy and per
manent euro of Ague aud Fever, or Chilis and Kever,
whether of ehort or long standing. Ho refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear him tos-
tiinony to the truth of the asauilion, that in uncase
whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are
striotly followed and carried out. In a great many
eases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every ease more certain to
core, if its nse is continued in smaller doses for n week
or two after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult and loeg-etnndirg cases. Usually
this medicine will rot require any aid to keep the bow
elsin good order. Should the patient, however, re
quire a oathartie medicine, after having taken three or
four doses of the tonic, a single dose of BulCs Vert
table Family Pills will be sufficient.

Locisvillk, Kr., Oct. 8,186J.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir : Many thanks to yen
for the medicine you have so kindly given me. I have
been • great sufferer for years, and had the advice of
varions physicians. Some pronouneed my spine, some
my lungs, and gome my heart to be the seat of my dis
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until
I had become disheartened. Several very eminent
r hysieians who examined my spine informed me that
was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any day
and that nothing but a seton would relieve me. I had
a perfect horror of that, and was hesitating aboat
having one inserted, when you kindly sent me year
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun uwfake three
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
aente pain in the right side of my head, especially
when I would read or write for any length of time, and
on rising to my feel I would be perfectly blind for
several minutes, and would have to hold to something
to prevent falling.
I am most happy to inform you that the pain in my
head is entirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my
spine and then not so acutely. My appetite is good i
indeed for the first tim* in my li!e I enjoy my dinner
more than any meal daring the day.
Yea kindly sent mo four bottles again last night,
and I began again this morning, and 1 hope to be en
tirely relieved. Please accept my heartfelt thanks and
best wishes.
Very traly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C. Rirxxa.
*y lenrnal abounds with similar letters, all of
whieh I guarantee te be genuine and written by the
perseas whose names they bear.
De net snffer yourself to be imposed on. Don’t b#
drawn away after new and doubtful experiments.
Don’t risk year health by letting novices experiment
apes yes with their trash. My Sarsaparilla has stood
the teet kr twenty five years ; it is still the .Sarsaparilla
of the day, and of the age, towering over all others in
popularity and its curative qualities. Avoid all those
who are trying to palm off on you other extracts ef
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr. John
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that is the eld
and reliable remedy lor imparities of the blood aad
scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.

Dr Jakn Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. B.
Johnson, was a skiUtnl surgeon and physician in Cen
tral New York, where he died, leaving the above C.
P. Johnson te my ears. At thirteen years of ago he
had a ehrenie diarrhea and scrofula, tor which I gave
your Sarsaparilla. It cured Him. I have for tea
years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debili
ty. Perfect sneeees has attended it- The cures ef
fected in some eases of scrofula and feoer sorts were
almost miraculous. I am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to yonr Sarsaparilla. Ho ia
fearfol ef getting a spurious article, hence his writing
te yea for it. His woonds wens terrible, but I believe
he will reoover.

The trains were rounding a curve
when the engineer on the down train
discovered the approaching up-train
but a very short distance ahead of
him. lie immediately whistled “down
brakes,” shut off steam and leaped
from the engine, as any prudent man
would have done. But bis alarm was
too late to prevent the calamity, and
the two tiains crashed together with a
momentum that literally demolished
both engine and drove the tender of
the up-bound locomotive into and half
the length of the car immediately fol
lowing, which was the colored car and
filled with negroes who were emigrat
ing west-ward. Of the occupants of this
car seven were killed outright, and as
many more were wounded. Peter
Lewis, of Amerieus, and four small
children were hurt, while his wifo and
two other children were killed. Pleas,
Ben, 'and Joe Buckner, of Spalding
county, brothers, were all killed. The
wife of Richard McPherson was also
killed. The three brothers, from
Griffin, were taken to that city for in
terment. Those from Amerieus were
brought to tliis city, where their re
mains were coffined and forwarded to
their late homes.
Among the wounded were Col. J.
