Mellonville will indulge in a little railroad meeting on the “glorious” 4th. Tho Sons of Temperance of Pointk* are thinking about making a cold-water excur sion to Green Cavo tipring on the 3d of July. There is n statement going the rounds of our Florida exobanges to the effect that tbe Pousacola Commercial is Radical in polrtio*. This ia a mistake. It is soundly Democratic. The only correction that the rumor needed, however, was to state that it emanated from the Tallahassee Sentinel Tallahassee is to have somo more troops. A tiger seen near tit. Augustine has worked that placid little burg up to a fever heat. St. Augustine is of the opinion that tbe summer visiting season has opened. Judge Bryson, who has been seriously ill, is convalescent A cluster of tan pears on one twig set the Tallahassee people to wondering the other day. Jefferson county has subscribed for twen ty-two immigrants. The next meeting of the Industrial and Im migration Association of Florida will he held at Quincy, on the 6lh of September. The boys in blue, when they received their pay in Tallahassee Uie other day, made trade pretty brisk for awhile. A tit Augustine Thomas cat, in the midst of his persecutions of the rodent family, finds time to slay an occasional snake. Two hundred and sixty stands of patent breech-loading guns, together with twenty thousand rounds of ammunition, arrived in Tallahassee recently for the State. The Tallahassee Floridian has this about crops in Leon county; We are very much gratified at the prospects of the corn crop in this county. It has now been “laid by,” as the farmers term it, and we suppose it ia as film a crop as we have had since the war. A larger area, from what we can gather, has been planted than last year, which ia another gratifying fact. The idea of corn selling h* io now «t tl.HO f.rr bushel is a disgrace lo the county. With good luck the balance of the season, we will have plenty for home hho next year. The cotton crop is also promis ing, though tho continued wet weather has almost enveloped it in gram. And this about an African Convention: “A Convention of ministers and laymen of the A. M. E. Church of Florida, was in session in our city for several days daring last week and adjourned sine die on Saturday night. We did not attend its sittings, and are not informed of wach of it* proceedings, Tho Governor addressed the Convention (which was a kind of politico-religions body) on Saturday afternoon, in a very lame and un satisfactory manner, so a Republican tells at. He expressed some little conoern for his per sonal safety. ‘The thief doth fear each bush an officer,’ a poet once wrote. Tbe Conven tion passed *a complimentary resolution to tho Governor, but we are told afterwards, for tome season not kuowo, rescinded it ! Poor Harrison ! he receives nothing but cold com fort on every baud. We suppose the official proceedings of the Convention will appear in print before long, when we will be able to give more information as to its doings." OUR HOME CORRESPONDENl'K. Attafumjcs, DxcATtmCo., Gz, I June I7tb, 1871. f Editor Morning Xeics: • I »m aware that anything written for tho press exaggerating the bad condition of the crops would, if accepted us true, only tend to promote the interests of a class of men whose success or failure does not affect tbe material interests of the coantry, the great bhlk of the last cotton crop having passed ont of the hands of the planter, and being now held by the speculator. Hence, what I may say of the condition of crops in not in fluenced by the hope of gain, in the enhance ment of ite present or even prospective value, as. were it the latter motive, there would be ample time from now until the gathering in of the crop to correct any misstatements in reference to it But, were I disposed to ex aggerate ordinarily, it would be extremely difficult to exaggerate the present bad condi tion of our cotton crops. Ah anticipated in my last letter to you, the rains continued daily up to yesterday; not one shower and quit, but continuous and hoary, until the crops are about mined, to all appearances. I have aores of cotton, on tbe most productive lands I am planting, that is about dead; and even on the dr jest lands it is shedding its leaves, and has not grown enough to make any perceptible dif ference since my letter of the 5th Inst The sun has ahown brightly to-day, and with indnetry we may be able, after awhile, to eradicate the grass, but the crop must be seriously injured, even if this ia done, a« it is now extremely grassy. Wheu I represent the condition of my own crop, it is bnt a fair illustration of crops generally in this section. I have conversed with many planters, and all agree that they have the poorest prospect for cotton they have known for many years. Oar corn crops are still quite premising, bnt if we should have one week of hot sun shine without rain, this crop will be gerions- ly damaged, as it is now tbe “nick” of time with it. So we are now bung up between the hawk and the bazzard—one wants rain, the other sunshine, aad we kz.ow hot which to wish for most. Yours, respectfully, 4 Svio- niBRB. A terrible accident oocurred at ^ittsbujrg on Saturday last, to a man named John Coheu, employed in Moorehead’s mills, who jumped into a cauldron of mol ton amalgam, the surface of which was level with the floor, aod covered with a melalic loom w|»icb, iu the imperfect light, rendered it indistinguisb- ble. He at onee leaped out and was conveyed to his residence. His limbs were terribly burned np to the hips, bfit he will eurvive, nnd probably not lose his limbs.

Obey ’’—Pretty Tollclt Ur Idee. meitiutnl—Tbt and Fret tie Ihtxzxjltional Hotel, I Niagara Falls, June 8. ) “I foci conatantiv as though I ought to apologize for being here,” laughed a pretty blonde-riaired Southern girl last night She was not a bride, and she was fast discovering that she had made too tarly a pilgrimage to Niagara. “ What for, and to whom ?” queried her companion. “To tbe omnipresent lovers. I constantly labor under the sense of inflicting a personal injury on them by staying. They evidently regard me aa au interloper; I feel like a wretched marplot. I’m constantly lunnii g acroeethem in unexpected places, interrupt ing some tender passage, or hearing bits of love-making that ara not intended for me to hear, and I'm heartily tired with attempting to look unconscious, and pretending that I have neither eyes nor ears. I actually can’t go anywbexe with a feeling of safety. Bal conies and reception rooms aro forbidden K ound, and the parlor which I used to haunt * been taken possession of by the musical couple, so that Ark of Refuge is closed to me. Good night. I’m going to bed in sheer ■elf-delence," and off she went, sure of find ing on* place where she was not regarded as an intruder. Daytime or evening is ail the same. It is utterly impossible to turn around without encountering these stray couple*, wandering around iu a sublimely indifferent uianuer, evidently not knowing where th*y are going or what they are going for, absorbed com pletely in on* another, hearing neither the thunder of the Falls nor the rm>h of the Rapids. The only wonder is that they dou't walk off the bank in some cf their fits of atsorbtion. They have a way of Bight-seeing entirely their own. They go down to the brink of tho Falls, stand alarmingly near the edge, and ecstatically murmur “Beautiful!” looking all the time straight iuto one another's eyes. They haunt Goat Island and the Three Sisters, and every cosy nook on those romantic islands is occupied all day. There i>» a perpetual serifs of tableaux vh'ants there, ve y amusing to tbe \ookcr-on, but in finitely more enjoyable to the actors, as is tho manner of tableaux generally. Beeping through the interlacing branches of the treses comes the flutttr of a pretty morutng dress- there they are, billing and cooing, utterly free from any tear ot iutt-nupturn, Baying the sweet tlnuga that lovers have mid from time immemorial, emphasising and punctua ting in their own way, which is tho way of all the world, in like situations, until startled by a rustling of leaves aud a sound of foot steps, they sit uncomfortable upright, assume an air of unconcern and entirely overdo their attempts to delude the new-comers inty the belief that they have maintained their present relative positions religiously ull tne while, aud that i.othiug would induce them to change them. Auother of their amusements is tiding up and down the eleva tor at the whirlpool. There is a sort of excite ment about that, tbe bride looks timid, and screams a little, and lays her pretty little hand appealingly on the bridegroom’s arm, and he grows very courageous and ro-ossures her iu the most satisfactory manner, and altogether there is a charm aud fascination about that elevator that ia unsurpassed by anything ex cept going down to tho ferry in the car that runs down the inclined plane, and gives every ono tho seuaationof being on their way to certain destruction. TLi>* in. if noasihlc, a little tetter than the elevator, f r there in a. greater reason for show of timidity and fear, and there is such a pleasure and comfort in beiug consoled under such circumstances. The new-made husband feels an added weight of responsibility, a new stnse of importance, recognizes the weaknesH of the frail creature committed to his charge, mentally qi Michelet, adopts Dz. Todd for his prophet on the spot, aud pronounces Dr. Bushbcll the wisest jaau and most logical thinker of the age. While she, full of admiration for his bravery, compares him to all her heroes of romance, who, of course, suffer by the contrast, takes a new departure in his reli gious belief, and puts her confidence iu St. Paul, snd determines never to attend another Woman Suffrage Couvtntion while she lives, for she has no will nor opinion of her oun, and what is more, she never wishes fo have. This is a blissful state while it lasts, but unit until you meet them a year Irom now. They may be just aa happy and equally contented, but that little woman will have developed a will of her own, and it is more than probable that she will have a new interpretation for St. Paul's homiiita, and “wives obey your hus bands" will not be her mo.-t constant quota tion. Just now it is. and she never is a ea y of repeating it, with the added assertion, “and 1 promised to in the service, didn't 1, dear?" And *‘dear" quite agrees with her that .-h* did. THE FICTCM MAXIS. These couples all have a mania for having their pictures taken together, with tbe Falls for a bsekgroaud. And they pose and fix and flatter and settle and unsettle and try new positions and will uot be satisfied, until it is a wonder that the artist’s patience in not en tirely exhausted. But he, like the rest of the world, smileH benevolently upon them, hu mors tb*ir whim* and caprices in tbe sweetest way and wait* their pleasure with a heroic endurance u*ually unknowu to members of tha craft- Until bj-nud-by. alter numerous trials and failures, they ara united and go away blissfully indifferent to the rest of the world, whom they pcraiati'mJy and sublimely ignore, and live for a time in a world of their own, recognizing nothing outside of it. THE bride's TOILETTES. Underneath the lids of all tbe new trunks are hostit of pretty things that three women like to display to each other. They are uot so absorbed that they forget to drees, and once in * while they desceud irom the clouds long enough to examine and comment upon the “get np" cf a neighbor at the table. A lovely toilette was of chine silk, tho ground work of the palest buff, almost of a straw color, while the figure was black. It was cut with a deep court train. The front breadth was trimmed with a number of tiny cross- way rnflles edged with black, reaching more than half way up the skirt. The train bad a deep graduated raffia which went entirely around it. There won no over-dress nor uat-k, but the body was cat with s basque square and deep in the front and back and very short over tha hips- The sleeves were moderately full and slashed up the back. Full under- sleeves of deep ValencienneH lace were worn with it. The neck was low and pointed in front, and instead of a collar, a straight baud of njnsfin edged with lace was worn fastened in front with 4 beautiful diamond brooch. The necklace was » heavy chain of ?-°man gold, to which waa attached a locket with a monogram in diamonds on the front. This costume was worn by a tall, very graceful woman, with a face rather striking than pretty. She had brown eyes, and an abun dance of brown buir, which curled and frizzed naturally, ai*d wh' c ^ ;h© wore fastened back by a comb, and falling bver ii in {^assea of curls. Anothar’prstty costume was 'a black Her- nani, with trimmings of pale lavender. It waa made to lay about two inchee on (he ground, and tad on the lower skirt a deep Ride-plaiting, above which was a double ruf fle bound with lavender. The over-dress waa very long and full, with no trimming. The body was high aud close-fitting, and (he sleeve* close, with beautiful creamy point laoe at tbe wrist and around the throat. Amethyst jewels in elaborate settings flni«h- ad the toilette of bis pretty, gray-eyod, brigfat- eomplexioned bride.

In on* thing they *U seem agreed: not to change their drones but once a day, coming to dinner in tbe Jinan or cambrio dress©* which (bey wear in the morning, and which they find so serviceable and comfortable for jaunting about iu. But at supper they come down with their new pretty dresses and elaborate ornaments, looking bright and frssh aud happy, perfect ly contented with themselves aud their sur rounding a. So the days at Niagra go od, and if from day to day faces that had beguu to grow familiar are missed, new one# come to take their placet*, and the same play is (re peated day after day, until there is nothing more to be seen, no more discoveries to make, for of one hundred couples, ninety-niue will act precisely tbe same, and in exactly the same manner, with scarcely a shade of varia tion. Bat persistent watching is rewarded if at last one can discover the one hundredth, snd learn something that was before on- dreamed of. The Last Massacre. The Indian massacre at Gamp Grant, now that some dayH have elapsed, proves as had as we bad supposed. Homo bandied Indians, mo.st cf them women and children, unarmed, unoffending, and actually under the flag and protection of the Government, were murder ed in cold blood—cruelly and unmercifully butchered—before the eyes, as it were, of our military forces, and without any effort, com paratively, to prevent it The Government is therefore directly involved in the respon sibility of the transaction. The honor of tbe nation, and every sentiment of humanity, have been outraged by it. The people ought to demand an immediate investigation, a prompt aud adequate and effective punish ment of the brutal offenders, and au explana tion of the apparent remissness in the matter of the military force at Camp Grant. The affair is analogous to that of the Cbivington massacre, which it cannot exoeed in the hor- rois of barbarous cruelty. Iu both cases tbe Indians were the guests, so to speak, of the Government, which had promised, through tho military authorities, to protect and pro vide for them. In the former, the military themselves were the assailauts and murder ers. aud no officer has ever yet been cashiered for his agency in the bloody business; in the latter, the slaughter was perpetrated by citi zens, known to the military, and not one of them, it is safe to predict, will ever be called to account. The Indians murdered were Apaches, a tribe composed of numerous band* of wild nomndio Indians, scattered over a wild ex tent of country bordering upon Mexico, in Arizona. They have generally shown them selves to be a harmless and inoffensive people when not actiug under provocation. Indi viduals and small parties of white.* have been among them, and invariably experienced kind treatment And when they have been charged with theft a, committed by bad mem bers of the tribe, the chiefs have shown great alacrity in making restitution as far as they could. They have on many occasions offered to serve as guides to the military for the ar rest of thieves. The language cf the poor destitute chief—Jeatitute in a treble sense, being naked, without mean* of defence or protection, and having seen his whole fami ly, three* wives and seven children, murdered by civilized Christians in his presence -to the military commandant at Fort Grant, in regard to the return of some young women whom the Arizonians had taken prisoners at tbe late massacre, was but the expression of a fixed principle upon which the Indians had always acted. The particular baud of Apaches with which we have recently been in such disgraceful contact, is that known as the Pinal Coyuterog. They number about five thousand, and are regarded as the most formidable, although they are in reality tbe least warlike, of the Apache tribe. They are not fond of quiet pursuits, aud prefer a wandering life even at ihe risk of a precarious subsistence. They inherit from ancestor* of many generations a very strong antipathy to the Mexicans. By their greater confidence in Americans, whom they have received into (heir coantry in n friendly and kind and hospitable spirit, they have shown that this antipathy is the result of their intercourse with the Mexican*', aud uot a natural and universal sentiment. Some years ago the Finals, finding one of oar sur veying parties without an escort, near]}’ de fenceless, and with a scanty supply of pro visions, generously tendered them aid and furnished them with supplies from their lim ited winter stock. Our intercourse with these Indians has beau marked by a want of consideration a* well as of kindness, and the feelings of dis trust and hostility which they have from time to time manifested, are to he attributed, to a certain extent at least, to the indiscreet manner in which they have been dealt with by oar military forces. An unfortunate and unwarrantable attack was made upon them some time ago by a military command,which in the nature of things could not fail to ex cite their active hostility. A military expe dition had been organized for the ostensible purpose of “chastising" certain Apache* for alleged robberies and murders. With that indiscriminate zeal which •' w * -**•«» guide* s n«\h «» r <Jiuuua, the country of tbe Coyo- teros was invaded and those Indians attack ed. although there was no canse for regard ing them as enemies, and it was afterwards ascertained that they were not implicated in the offences 1 charged. They are tbe most reliable of tbe Apaobe bands; and (here ia no reason to doubt that by kind and considerate treatment they might easily be induoed to abandon their roving habits and support themselves by agricul tural pursuit*. The party now so ruthlessly attacked and decimated by cruel massacre was a body whieb had been induced to place themselves under the care and instruction of tbe whites, and were affording satisfactory evidence of progress. As at Ocmulgeo. in the recent Indian council addressed by Gen. Sherman, they bad proved themselves amen able to the influences of civilisation; but it is expecting too much of human nature to ex pect their further submission to pole-face barbarity.—liosion Post The Ilural South Land give* the following receipt for making blackberry wine: To ev ery gallon of fruit poor half a gallon of boil ing water, and let them stand tweuty-foar hours. Then j>our off the juice (pressing the Wrles) through a eolandar into an open ves sel. Strain again throqgfc e flannel bag, and to every gallon of juioe add iwo aud a h**f pounds of good clean sugar. Btir it up well and put into demijohns, filling them entirely. These should be kept full to the brim, and to this purpose a bottleful of the juice should be reserved, from which the demijohn should be replenished daily until fermenting ceases, when the wine should be poured off in an open vessel, and clarified in the following manner: Wash sand (half a pint will be suf ficient for five gallons of wine) until the water will raa olear from it. Best to this the whites of four *ggs, and stir into wine. When it has settled, and tho wine looks per fectly clear, pour off carefully into demi johns, putting a piece of muslin inside of the funnel. Cork tightly and set in a cool place, where it will pot he disturbed until Decem ber 6r January. \ fe* days before bottling have th* bottles well washed, drjed and sun ned. Strain the wine again in large pitch ers, taking particular care not to turn the demijohn back after beginning to pour from it, as it stirs up the sediment which is at the bottom. Cover the inside of the funnel with a piece of muslin before placing it in the mouth cl the bottle, and cork it immediately, driving the cork In with a wooden mallet. Never use old corks.

Brother Graduates: I have in my two preceding tetters showed, in general terms, what 1 conceived to be the dnty devolved upon each and every Alumnus of the State Uuiversity. Tu the hist, I urged the necessity of organizing, as an essential element to the success of our movement. Those of ns wbo were present at the last an nual meeting recognized so fully tbe cogency of this argument that we determined to take one practical step, at any rate, toward, the effecting of our purposes by appointing a committee to provide means for, and super- intend the setting furth of AH aldxtni dinned l Ibis committee, with a view to the execu tion of their instructions, issued, in tbe early part of the year, tbe following appeal: Athens, Ga., January 18, 1871. At the regular meeting of the Alumni of the University of Georgia, in Augnst last, the meojbers then present, while rejoicing in the high position to which the University had attaiaed, and recalling the revered memor ies of very many, who in days of yore had been students at this noble institution, were saddened by tbe solemn thought that, as year after year passed aw*y, some of her noblest sons were removed from life’s busy scenes. Moved by sweet memories of the past, they desire to gather the scattered brotherhood once more around the shrine of their much loved Jb>\a Haler, slid there, by joining hand and heart, endeavor to awaken fresh zeal in the breast of every sou in her behalf. Actuated by (bis desire, they unanimously resolved to huve an Alnmui Dinner. A com mittee wa3 appointed to solioit contribu tion*. and make all necessary arrangements for this purpose. Acting uuder this resolution, we. the com mittee, invite all the Alumni to be present on that occasion, and respectfully request them to send immediately, by post office order, or by express, the contributions they may wish to make for this purpose. After invitation we find that it will require at least five dollars from each Alumnus, to fully carry out our designs. The Trustees, with that wisdom which has ever marked nil their deliberations in behalf of the University, heartily endorsed the resolutions of tbe Alumni, and set apart Monday, the 31st pf July, exclbsively for tbe exercises of that body, ou which day the din ner will take place. Should tho committee be prevented from carrying ont the resolutions of the Alumni, the money contributed will be promptly re turned, Flease enclose contributions Dr. H. R. J. Long, Secretary and Treasurer of committee. Very respectfully, W. W. Loipkin, "] Stevens Thomas, | N. L. Barnard, } Committre. Pope Barrow, | H. K. J. Long, J This is tbe first step toward* organizing our forces into a wGl drilled, compact, thor oughly trained body, which, while its m«m- bers Bill bo scattered throughout th* entire South, shall have a central point at which these members will regularly and panctnslly gather every year, to make their reports, ex change views, receive instructions and, “by joining hand and heart, to endeavor to awak en fresh zt-al in the breast of every son in her behalf.” In no way can such measures be initialed so successfully as iu the manner proposed. Tho gray haired sons of the olden time have hailed the proposition with joy, and graduates of nearly every year, from 1804 to 1871. havo exprosod thoir glad approbation of the projected banquet. But, brothers of the Alumni, banquets re quire substantial foundations upon which to build* and, iu order to make the occasion a genuine success, tbe committoe have laid their plans for a really fine feast.

A Teebible Storm in Kansas. — Topeka, Kansas, June 19.—The following ia from the Daily state Record of to-day: “W« learn that on the evening of tbe 18th instant, £lcb>rado and the surrounding country waa visited by one of the moat terriflo storms ever known in that part of tbe State. The Times sayp, about 8 o'clock in the evening a storm came from the Northwest, accompanied with wind, bail and rain, and before the people bad time to make any preparations for it the bnr- ricane swept through the town. The clouds were ot inky blackness, aud the vivid flashes of lightning accompanied by crashing thunder every moment the gale increased; and as the rain came down in tor rent* the situation became more f«nu faI. Every momentary lull in tho *lorui only seemtdto increase it* mry, and in fifteen minutes from the commencement, men, wo men and children could be seen {jyiug through the streets, seeking protection from the tailing houses. By this time tbe air was filled with flying timber. Large houses were completely de molished, other* were unroofed, wLile other* war* lifted from their foundations and carried by the wind from forty to two hundred feet, and yet there seemed no lull in the storm. As we stood by the window gazing outward, we could pluiuly see houses toppling over. The roar of the storm was terrible, and the earth seemed to tremble beneath ear feet. We have beeq unable to get any par ticular new* from the country, but for ionr or hve miles around the ourne wholesale de struction seems to be visible. Houses were blown down, fences destroyed, and crops rained. Many people left iu destitute cir cumstances. The ’fimex give* & list of sufferers by tLis fearful storm.

Seventh Georgia Regiment, was brought to Bellevue Ho*pita! with a rifle-hall wound in the centre of his forehead. He seemed perfectly well, walk ing about as if nothing was tbe matter. I pro cured for him a home in a private family, where, on tbe third or fourth day afterwards, the ball, which had lodged between tha skull and the lining of the brain, by suppuration reached and “rested on the brain, produc ing spasms and death in a short time. Before l left him on the day of his arrival in Richmond,- he told me bo was twenty- seven years old and his wife twenty-two years old; that they had fourteen children—nine boys and five girls; that his wife bad twins six times; that eleven of them were going to school. When he left home, all were alive; and not one of his children, his wife, or him self, hid ever had three days’ sickuess since their marriage. Ha was a fine-looking man, six fleet one inoh high, and weighed one huu- drsd aud eighty pounds; that he was the smallest of si* brothers, and that his parents raised air boy* and twenty-one girls.
