Private Smith, of Company E, 18th
United States Infantry, at McPherson
Barracks, Atlanta, met with a horrible ac
cident on Suuday morning last, about four
o’clock, by accidentally falling into a dry
well some twaaty-five feet deep, and in-
secareiy prjtected. In falling the un
fortunate man was impaled through the
groin on a stake in the well, where he hung
for over three houra in the most terrible
a^ony before his comrade heard his cries
foriieip and went to his relief. Although
badly maimed for life by the critical in
juries, the sufferer may live, as be was
doing well up to Tuesday morning. In-
dimatiou of the lacerated parts is now the
only cause for apprehending fatal results.

The Albany A exes says: “The Savannah
I resbytery convened for its fall session at
Boston on Saturday last. There was a very
good attendance of ministers and elders. On
Sunday several parties went down from here
to attend the meeting. We had intended
K° ln P» but learning Saturday evening that
Rev. Dr. Axson, of Savannah,would preach in
the Presbyterian church here wa decided not
to go. Dr. Axson preached a most eloquent
sermon, which was listened to with marked
attention by a very large congregation. His
subject was the second coming of Christ,
and our duty in view of the uncertainty of
the time when thet coming will occur, and
the certainty that it will occur at some time
unknown to all. We hope this eminent di
vine enjoyed his visit here as much as those"
did who listened to him. The ministers in
attendance will go from the Presbytery tj
the meeting of the Synod at Columbus.
The Milledgeville Union and Recorder
says of the State’s property iu that city:
“The capitol square contains twenty acres,
in the centre of which is the old capitol, a
building as good as the oue Atlanta pro
poses to erect. The penitentiary lot also
contains twenty acres, upon which, in addi
tion to the cell building, workshops, etc.,
are three excellent residences erected for
the keepers. Here then are forty acres in
the heart of the city belonging to the
State. There are about three thousand acres
attached to the asylum near the city. The
return of the capital to Miliedgevilie would
increase the value of this asylum land
wonderfully. People of Georgia, you have
valuable property here, just where you need
it—in the centre of the State. Will you
sacrifice it for a more promise of Atlanta ?
What are promises worth these days?”
The same paper says : “W T e learn fro n
Dr. Thomas F. Green, Superintendent of
the Lunatic Asylum, that only about twenty-
five applications for admission of patients
to that institution are on file; hence the
statement that we have seen iu some of the
newspapers that there are four hundred
lunatics confined in jails in this State must
be iuoorrect. If there are really that num
ber, it is strange they are not reported to
the asylum. Additions have recently been
made to thr* main building, and other build
ings are now in course of construction,
which it is hoped will be ample for tbe ac
commodation of the insane for the pres nt.
As additional room is provided patients will
be received in the order of application.”
Bryant, the political bummer, endeavored
to enlighten the people of Bibb county ou
Tuesday night, in Macon, on their duties iu
reference to the approaching election for
the ratification of the constitution and the
location of the capital. There were not
quite one hundred present, about equally
divided between whites and colored. The
Maoon Telegraph, and Messenger says: “After
the conclusion of the speech James Fitzpat
rick was called for. Fitz stated that he had
once been in the same crowd with Bryant,
but while with them ho had never voted for
an unlawful expenditure of the public
money. Fitz asked the question of both
white and colored present if they were in
favor of endorsing such an expenditure as
Bryant advocated; if they were they would
hold up their right hands. No hands went
up. But when he called for those who were
iu favor of the new constitution and Mil
ledgeville, all hands went up with a cheer.”

no longer a question, but a fact. The only
point is how to prepare it iu the most
marketable form, and that which will give
to the grower the best returns.”
This we find in the Key West Key of the
Gulf: “The question of the violation of
the mails on this route ia likely to be brought
directly to the notice of the Postmaster
General and the committees of Congress, as
a gentleman of this city received a commu
nication from the W. S. of a secret order
which had been evened and searched. As
there are many members of that order in
both houses of Congress, the matter will be
placed in their hands, and we are certain
that an investigation will follow.”
The St. Augustine Press says : “By all
indications, the travel to this city this com

other. The twig was cut from a tree in the

almost instantly. John then fled aud was
still at large at last accounts.
The Palatka Herald says: “Dr. G. W. Mc
Rae, of this county, visited our city duriDg
the week in behalf of an enterprise that we
have time and again advocated ia the
Herald, the object of which is to unite
Palatka with Waldo, by c mnecting a chain
of lakes from Rice creek to that point on
the railroad. A company is to be form3d
immediately, and a charter will be procured
at the next Legislature for the purpose of
opening this important navigation. It will
reauire but a few miles of canaliug to con
nect us with Waldo. R;cs creek is five
miles north of Palatka and is navigable for
steamboats nine miles up.

The St. Augustine Press says : “Much ex
citement was occasioned on Friday of last
week by the report that cases of yellow fe
ver had appeared in our midst. The streets
were the scenes of much confusion, while
the performances of the terrified were
amusing in the extreme. Three deaths oc
curred on Friday, which added to the ex
citement. They were Noel Atwood, a child
about three years old of Mr. Pomar, aud an
other child about the same age, of Mr. De-
eering, a German. The child of Mr. Pomar
was attended by Dr. .Shine, and his saying
that it was yellow fever very naturally gave
many good grounds for becoming alarmed.
Families prepared to leave tbe town, W.
Lyon & Co.’s store closed, and the people
wore far from being in a quiet mood. All
the p yaicians, except Dr. Shine, were posi
tive that no yellow fever existed in the city.
On Friday night the Board of Health called
a meeting and requested the attendance of
all the physicians, and after a consultation
the following paper was signed by the entire
number of the physicians in tbe city—Dr.
Shine admitting that as the child of Mr.
Pomar was dead, there was no infectious or
contagious disease in the city: ‘We, the
undersigned practicing physicians of St.
Augustine, Florida, after consultation, re
port that according to our best judgment
there are no cases of yellow fev. r, infectious
or contagious disease io the citv, and that
there is no occasion for alarm. Should any
such cause arise, it will be at once reported
to the Board of Health.’”
Says the Patlatka Herald: “There are
thirteen steamers that arrive at this port
every week. Two steamers from Charles
ton, two steamers from Savannah, and two
from Fernandina and Brunswick. Two daily
mail boats to Jacksonville, two mail boats
from Patlatka to Enterprise, Mellouville and
Sanford. One steamer from Jacksonville to
Salt Lake, one from Jacksonville to Cres
cent City, and three steamers on the Ockla
waha river.”
A special diapatch to the Jacksonville
Eoening Chronicle of the 12th says: “Frost
was reported at all the stations between Cal
lahan and Cedar Key, but the rumors are
conflicting regarding Fernandina. It was
cold enough to induce some to think a frost
probable, but there wa3 possibly too much
wind for it to be apparent.”
The following is an extract from a letter
written by Geueral Finley to a friend in
Jacksonville. Alluding to his contested seat
in Congress he says : “ Iu my judgment, my
case is so good upon the law, and the facts in
volved, that I cannot feel any unpleasant
anxiety in regard to the result. I am en
tirely willing to rest the case, equally, upon
its merits.”
The Jacksonville Sun and Press says :
“Thomas Hind, of New York, formerlv con
nected with the Witness, and an active lay
Christian, preached last Sabbath morning
and evening for the Rev. Mr. Wamboldt, at
the Baptist Tabernacle. Mr. Hind comes to
Florida to look after tbe interests of the
St. John’s Florida Co-operation Colony.
The colony will settle somewhere upon the
St. John’s river—probably in the vicinity of
Welaka, they having, ii is understood, al
most completed negotiations for the pur
chase of the Hernandez grant. They will
bring with them everything necessary for a
successful settlement, including saw mill,
tools for various trades, and for farming.
It is to be a strictly temperance and religious
community, and will include also a sanita
rium, though this feature will not bs devel
oped for seme time to come. The colony
already numbers nearly two hundred, most
of whom will soon come out to settle per
manently.”
The same paper says: “On Monday even
ing a party of gentlemen, composing the
officers and Executive Committee of the
Florida Yacht Club, was received and enter
tained by the Commodore on board the
yacht Ambassadress. The Commodore’s
gig was in waiting, and at 6 p. m. the party
was taken on board. Mayor Boyd, of the
Board of Trustees, beaded the delegation.
On arriving at the yacht the party was met
by the Commodore. A formal notification
of the elecifon of Mr. Astor was then read,
and, after a lew happily spoken words by
the Commodore accepting tbe office, the
party proceeded to the saloon. A general
inspection of the magnificent vessel fol
lowed, after which the Commodore inaugu
rated the first season of the Florida Yacht
Club squadron in true yacht club style. Tues
day the Ambassadress will fly the colors of
the Florida Yacht Club. The club pennant
from tbe mainmast is white, with red border
and letter F in blue. The Commodore’s
own flag will also fly when he is on board.]
A STRANGE COMBAT.
Fight Between Two St. Louis Men While
in n Turkish Bath.
The St. Louis Republican of the 3d
instant contains the particulars of a fight
between a bank casher and a doctor in
the Turkish bath-house of Dr. Adams, 311
North Seventh street, of that city. The
two men, who were enemies, met acci
dentally in the bath, both being nude and
recumbent upon the lounges. Harsh
words became harsher between the two,
and, finally, one of tbe men said some
thing not to be listened to quietly; there
was a quick blow and then a desperate
struggle. The hotteet room of the Turk
ish bath is one where the tile of the floor
is so heated that bare feet must be burn
ed which come in contact with it, and
where strips of thick carpet protect tb6
feet of tte bathers. Along the front of
the row of couches in the room a heavy
strip of this carpet ran, and here it was
that the battle was carried on. The doctor
struck his opponent in the face, cutting
open alittle vein in the forehead and filling
one eye of the cashier with blood. At the
fame time the cashier returned the blow,
and snatching a hold upon the doctor’s
flowing beard tore out what “Con,” one
of the attendants, calls “a double hand
ful, be gob! ’ At tbe same time in the
struggles of the men the long, broad strip
of carpet beneath them was pushed aside
by their feet, and the next instant the
two men were capering about upon the
heated floor. It was an astonishing
spectacle. Tbe men were naked, they
were perspiring vidently and they could
not clutch each other to retain a hold.
They could strike, however, and they
mauled away, leaping up and down in
agony as they did sc. No livelier move
ments ever occurred in aLl the history of
the prize ring. Imagine two men dancing
about barefooted on a blistering floor,
and hitting at each other’s faces in a
frenzy ! Each man forced the fightiDg,
for each felt tha something had got to be
done quickly. The doctor capered about
like a ballet master from over the sea,
and the cashier seemed put on springs.
It was a wilder dance than ever cannibals
had about a toasting victim, for here the
dancers were tbe toasted.
Meanwhile the attendants had rushed
in, and one seized the cashier while an
other held the doctor, and, a moment
later, the two men were dragged out and
awav from each other. A boy was sent
to a'druggist, and he came back with lin
iment aud other comforts for the burned.
The combatants were found to be very
badly scorched indeed. From tbe soles of
the doctor’s feet the parched skin peeled
off like the bottom of an old boot, and
the cashier’s injuries, though somewhat
less in the way of burns, were numerous
and painful. The liniments and poultices
were applied, the burned feet wrapped
up, and then the two gentlemen who
tried to settle a difficulty under such dis
advantageous circumstances hobbled
away.
The latest weapon adopted by the Cali
fornia opponents of the Chinese immi
gration is the charge that leprosy is a
common disease among the coolies, and
has been in some cases communicated to
White people. An unnamed San Francis-
00 doctor ;s said to have three cases under
his care—one that of a white woman, an
other that of a ma , who claims to have
caught the disease from smoking Chinese
cigars, and a sailor named Allen, who
8iys he went on a spree eighteen months
ago among the dens of Chinatown. He
has lost some of bis fingers and toes, and
lives secluded by himself in a rude hut,
having at times to run away to escape
from his children. This patient says that
witb a pair of pincers he could remove ail
his toes without pain.
Professor Gunning has been lecturing
in the West oa the glacial epoch. He
says that in a million years the glaciers
will be at work again in New England,
but that after 250,000 years of possession
by the ice, she will come out again as
good as new. So the people of New
England need not despair.

MILITARY ACTIVITY IN SERYIA.

OPERATIONS AROUND PLEVNA.
Preparations lor a General Assault.
[By Cable to the Morning News.]
London, November 14.—Signs of activity
in Servia are multiplying, fre&h troops are
marching to the front and the arsenals are
working night and day.
The capture of the position which General
Skoboioff has been attacking would turn all
intervening works towards Radizevo,
Toutchemtza and Grivitza. It seems pretty
ccriain that the fighting has not yet been
for redoubts themselves, but for the rifle
pits in front of them. The redoubts are the
same which were temporarily occupied by
Gen. Skobeloff in the battle of September
11th.
According to to-day’s rnmors from the Rus
sian camp, preparations are making for a
general assault on Plevna. These reports
may be well founded as it is doubtful
whether it is possible to starve Osman Pasha
out before winter.
Vienna, November 14.—A special dispatch
from Belgrade to the Political Correspon
dence says: “Servia has replied to the
Porte’s demaud for the withdrawal of Ser
vian troops from the frontier, that it is im-

frontier without military protection.”

THE CIVIL VB. THE ECCLESIASTICAL LAW.
Williamsport, Pa., November 14.—The
case of Father Stacka gainst Bishop O’Hara,
in litigation for six years, has been decided in
favor of the priest. Judge Gamble acting
as Chancellor in the Court of Common Pleas,
filed an elaborate opinion, in whicn
ho maintains that the power exercised in
the case by Bishop O’Hara was unwarranted
by the canon laws, aud that even if the
disciples of the church allowed it such
power, it must nevertheless be condemned
as contrary to the law of the land
and prejudicial to the rights of citizenship.
The superiority of the civil over the eccle
siastic law is expressly asserted. The decree
of the court accordingly declared that the
removal of Father Stack by Biehop
O’Hara as a punishment for a
supposed offense was unlawful ;
that the prohibition directed to Father
Stack, forbidding him to exercise any
priestly functions in Williamsport, was
unlawful, but a decree of restoration is
not granted as asked for, on the ground that
it might be injudicious to disturb the
present state of things in the congregation.
This point, however, is an open question if
the Bishop should appeal from the present
decision to the Supreme Court.

A Little Boy’s Suicide.—Charles
Warren, a boy about fourteen years old,
living in the eastern part of the town of
Plattekill und opposite the Ten Stone
Meadow school house, committed suicide
by shooting himself near the heart on
the 8th instant. His mother left him in
the house writing a letter while she went
out to get a pail of water, and when she
returned she found him dead with a pis
tol ball in bis breast. A revolver was
kept in a drawer in the room and it was
found with one chamber discharged and
replaced in the drawer, showing that the
boy had taken the revolver out, shot him
self and then replaced it in the drawer.
He neyer was suspected of anything
wrong, and was considered a model youth.
After he was found dead his boots were
removed, in one of which the following
letter addressed to his mother was discov
ered :
“Mother—Bury me in the commonest
old packing box you can find. Funerals
are too expensive now-a-days, and an old
box is good enough for me, anyway.
Please to follow my orders, for I am tired
of living. Good-by.”
It is generally supposed that the young
man had been in trouble, known only to
himself, which had effected his mind.—
Kingston (AT. Y.) Freeman, |10£A.
Joyce, the released whisky thief, has
written to a Tennessee convict, who sent
him a letter of congratulation, a gushing
epistle, in which he says : “I have not
the advantage of your personal acquain
tance; and as you intimate, I may not
hsve lost anything by this trifling cir
cumstance. But, let this be as it may, I
recognize you as a human being down
deep in the ‘slough of despond,’ and
could I call you back to life, liberty and
law I would extend a helping hand and
give you another chance to wash off, by
honest labor, the ‘itching palm’ of which
you speak. I must bid you, perhaps,
a lasting adieu, trusting that Dame
Fortune may yet shed her benign rays on
a ‘heart bowed down’ and lift it out of
the vale of adversity into the mountain
tops of liberty and success ! Should yon
secure your liberty and become editor of
a daily paper or Congressman I would be
glad to subscribe for your journal and
court your influence; but as the law in
tervenes at the present time, I simply re
main yours truly, John A. Joyce.” Until
Grant returns and enters upon his third
term Joyce should rent a hall and believe
in morality.
A Bostonian in Luck—One of Mr.
Vanderbilt's daughters is engaged to Mr.
Twombly, a young Bostonian, and the
happy event will take place at St.
Bartholomew’s Church some time during
the latter part of this month. It is said
that Mr. Vanderbilt has given the bride
groom half a million dollars and pro
vided him with a permanent position as
superintendent or manager of all the New
York Central Railroad Company’s grain
elevators in that city.
There has been discovered at Elgin,
Illinois, a flagrant scandal, and the local
reporter of the Times, in writing it up,
£ays that the man implicated is one
“whose meekness is only equalled by a
Vesuvius of harmonious ideality that
pants, as the deer panteth in the desert,
for the ever-recurring joys that the fire-
worshipper Hafed met in the chaste em
braces of Hinda.”
THE GEORGIA CROPS.
Consolidation of the Reports for the
Month of Ortober, 1877.
Department of Agriculture, >
Atlanta, Ga , Nov. 9, 1877.)
GENERAL STATE AVERAGES.
Corn.—As in the last report, the com
parisons have been made with the yield
of 1876.
Since a large portion of the crop has
been gathered, the reports show an in
crease in the yield of corn over the esti
mates of one month ago—amounting to
1 5 per cent., or 87.5 sgainst 86. This
advance in the estimate is noticeable in
North Georgia. This section has made
an abundant crop of corn—104—com
pared tp last year. East Georgia aho
gives increased estimates—88 against 84
on 1st of Ocober. A lower average—
—is reported in Southwest Georgia than
in any section. Farmers should make
every effort to supplement the corn crop
by sowing a large area in small grain.
Cotton.—The months of September
and October have been favorable for ma
turing late cotton, and the esti
mates for this month show an
improvement in the prospective total
yield of 1 8 per cent. No killing fiost
had occurred up to the 1st November—
even in North Georgia. The general av
erage of the State, as compared with tbe
yield of 1876, is 80.4. Three-fourths of
the crop has been gathered—much of it
io bad condition, owing to storms and
frequent rains—and one-half sent to
market.
The result of the present crop of cotton
will not be encouraging to those who
have relied on it to furnish the money to
pay for corn, bacon and other supplies
that should have been produced on the
farm—and for excessive purchases of fer
tilizers, to the exclusion of home made
and home saved manures. The cotton
crop should be the measure of the net
profits on the farm.
Sugar Cane and Sorghum.—The late
rains have materially improved the pros
pect for Bugar cane, but the crop will be
much below au average.
The sorghum crop has been unusually
fine, and the area much larger than at
any time since the war. An inspection
of samples on exhibition at the late State
Fair in Atlanta and on sale in the mar
kets will convince even the most incredu
lous that a very superior syrup may be
produced from the improved varieties of
the sorghum now in cultivation
The reports from some counties state
that there are not mills enough in opera
tion to “makeup” the large crop pro
duced.
The department has been persistent in
pressing this crop upon the attention of
the farmers of Georgia, and it is gratify
ing to note the enlarged area devoted to
its production, and the improved results
of manufacture. These improvements
have resulted in a syrup in many respects
fully equal to that produced from the
tropical caue.
Field Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Ground
Peas. Chufas.—Field peas are not so
good as were reported October 1st. A
full crop will be harvested in North Geor
gia and Southeast Georgia.
Sweet potatoes have been greatly bene
filed by the abundant rains, and a fair
crop will be realized in many sections. It
is very important to save them properly.
They are now full of sap, and will be more
disposed to rot iu the hills. They should
be dug when the ground is as dry as po3
sible, and be allowed to dry in the hill
before covering with earth. A very sim
ple plan for hilling potatoes is as follow?:
Select a dry situation, from which the
water will easily run ; drive down a rough
stake, to stand three and a half feet in
height, in the center of a circle of about
seven feet in diameter. Raise the edge
of this circle by drawing up the earth
from without. Cover the entire bed
thickly with dry pine straw, or other dry
material. Heap the potatoes on this
bed around the stake so that the sides
may be as steep as possible,
Then cover entirely over with dry corn
stalks or broom sedge set upright, or
with boards, in such manner as to pre
vent the rain, which may soak through
the earth covering, from reaching the
interior. Then cover the whole with
several inches of earth taken from imme
diately around the hill, leaving the top
of the hill open for ventilation, but pro
teoted from rain. On the approach of
severe weather, gradually increase the
covering of earth to a depth of one foot.
The secret consists in keeping the po
tatoes dry, of uniform temperature, and
the hills ventilated until the tubers have
undergone the usual sweating.
Ground peas and chufas have improv
ed since last report. The total yield of
chufas will be much larger than last year,
owing to the greatly increased area. They
have not produced so well, and some who
have tried them for the first time pro
nounce unfavorably on the practical
value of the crop. Those, however, who
have had several years experience are still
strong in advocating its great value for
fattening hogs.
Millet.—The yield of German millet
for hay has been fair, and the experience
of this year adds to the testimony of past
years in favor of this plant for forage
purposes. It might be well if its value
be tested by every farmer in Georgia.
Turnips.—A very m derate yield of
turnips is reported. Late stands were
secured, and the roots are generally
small. Many farmers have yet to learn
that this vegetable requires the most
thorough preparation, by repeated and
deep plowings—long in advance of plant
ing—together with liberal manuring, to
insure a crop under unfavorable circum -
stances.
Wheat.—This circular will find many
farmers engaged in sowing. The reports
indicate an increase of 17 per cent, over
the area in wheat last year. The depart
ment has received many inquiries for
seed wheat, which indicate a newly de
veloped interest in this orop, even in sec
tions which have never before engaged in
its production.
It is to be hoped that the demand for
suitable seed will be supplied, and that
the suggestions in regard to sowing and
fertilizing, which previous reports have
pressed upon their attention, have been
adopted by the farmers. In Middle,
Southwest. East and Southeast Georgia,
the greater part of the crop will be
sown in the next two or three weeks
from this writing. Attention should
be directed to the details of preparation
and sowing, rather than to seeding large
areas imperfectly.
Farmers who have not already de
termined to sow wheat are urged to do
so now before it is too late.
Oats.—There will be an increase in the
area of oats sown of 8 per cent. The
season has been remarkably favorable for
sowing, and those who sowed early re
port their fields in tine condition. This
is rapidly attaining the position of a
staple crop in Georgia.
It will be wise policy, where there is a
tendency to joint, to graze the early
sown during November and December,
taking care to keep the stock from the
fields when the ground is at all wet, and
not to graze closely. The best plan is
to allow light stock to remain on the oats
only a few hours each day.
Hogs.—The hints given in previous
circulars are again presented. Hogs for
butchering should have close attention
and most liberal feeding. If they have
access to the field peas, chufas,
The deductions from the experience of
farmers are worth more than theories,
and yet these deductions must be made
with care—effects must be attributed to
t l re true causes, etc., etc.

An Unholy Alliance.
[From the Miliedgevilie Recorder.]
Daring the progress of the canvass on
the capital question, it became apparent
that while many of the lawyers were in
favor of Atlanta because they could enjoy
the gayety and amusements of that fast
city while in attendance on the Supreme
Court, the masses of the people were in
favor of Miliedgevilie, because it would
promote economy in legislation and in the
administration of the State government,
save the State from a probable large ex
penditure of money to build a new capitol
and exempt the Legislature from a most
unfair and pernicious influence exerted
over it at Atlanta, which would affect
both legislation and the eleotion of United
States Senators, Judges and Solicitor
Generals by that body. It is known that
tbe prospect of losing the capital caused
great uneasiness and no little excitement
in Atlanta, and that her leaders have
been anxiously casting about for means
to bolster up their failing cause. Active,
energetic, and in a desperate strait, they
have not hesitated long, it would se6m,
as to their course of action.
In this connection, let us note the fact
that several weeks since the Executive
Committee of the Radical party met in
Atlanta and formally disbanded, thereby
dissolving the party organization in this
State. Under the conciliatory and consti
tutional policy of President Hayes to
wards the Southern States this action
seemed natural enough, inasmuch as
there remained scarcely any practical or
tangible points of difference between the
parties here to contend about. Besides,
tbe Radical leaders in Georgia were at
loggerheads, bitterly accusing and de
nouncing each other, and there
seemed to be no cohesion among them.
But just at this juncture the re
port comes to us from various
parts of the State that the country is
being flooded with documents addressed
to the passions and prejudices of the col
ored people, calling upon them to vote
against the new constitution and against
Miliedgevilie. Akerman doubtless gave
the key note in his speech at Atlanta not
long since, and the notorious J. E. Bry
ant, who was so recently repudiated by
his brother Radical leader?, aud numerous
other lesser emissaries are going about
the State, exciting the colored people
against their white friends aud destroy
ing the friendship and confidence which
was fast ripening between the races.
And all for what ? Is the new constitu
tion inimical to the colored people?
Not at all. It gives them every right
the old one did and is a better oue
for them in some respects. But their
ignorance is being imposed on for an op-
ject which is not avowed. The colored
population lies mostly in Middle and
Lower Georgia and nearest tc Milledge-
viile, and if left to themselves, they
would naturally vote for Miliedgevilie for
the capital. But to prevent their doing
so, it is necessary to get up party preju
dices and excitement, link the retention
of the capital at Atlanta with opposition
to the new constitution and thus defeat
the wishes of the people in regard to the
return of the capital to Miliedgevilie.
Any person of ordinary discernment can
see that the origin and life of all this
movement is its bearing upon the capital
question.
Well, who are the parties interested in
its success ? Grant that the old leaders
of the Radical party, who mostly live in
Atlanta, have a local interest to subserve
and may besides take a malicious pleasure
in perpetuating the wrongs heaped upon
the people of Georgia by their party when
it was in power—does any one believe
that they only are engaged in movement ?
That they furnished the sinews of war ?
It does not seem probable. The men of
means among them are but a handful.
Yet the expense of this great movement
can be no trifle. The motive power of
such activity and energy must have a
very substantial money basis. Well, who
furnishes the money ? Who pays the
mercenary Bryant and his brother hire
lings for the dirty work they are doing ?
The fiDger of suspicion can only point in
one direction, and that need not be indi
cated here.
The notable fact then stares us in the
face that the disbanded Radical party is
being rallied to defeat the ratification of
the new constitution and the return of
the capital to Miliedgevilie. Are the
people content to have their will thwarted
by such agencies? Are the honest advo
cates of Atlanta in Northern Georgia wil
ling to achieve victory by such an alliance ?
Will the sensible colored people of Mid
dle and Southern Georgia allow them
selves to be duped by interested leaders,
whose interests are diametrically opposed
to their own? They must know that
if the taxes of the white people
are lessened by a return of the
capital to Miliedgevilie, their own
taxes will be made lighter in a like pro
portion. They certainly must see that
there are no party politics in this matter,
and that their true interests lie with the
friends of Miliedgevilie. It is to be hoped
they will not allow themselves to be duped.
We know that many of the intelligent
men among them understand the matter
thoroughly. If, however, this is to be
made a party question, if the fight is to
be made between Atlanta and the Radical
party on the one side and the great
Democratic party of Georgia on the oth
er, we shall not fear the issue.
In conclusion, if any additional argu
ment were needed to teach the people to
free themselves from the selfish domina
tion of the grasping city of Atlanta, that
argument is furnished by the facts stated
above.

Organization or Militia.—Senator
Davis, of West Virginia, who baa been
giving much attention to the subject, has
concluded to address himself to the
preparation of a plan to encourage the
organization of tbe militia of the State
through the aid of the General Govern
ment. Senator Davis has communicated
his views to a number of Senators and
members, and finds that they make a
very favorable impression.
Senator Davis proceeds on the idea,
and in this he is sustained by very many,
that the true way to Insure domestic
peace aud tranquility is not to increase
the regular army, but to provide an effi
cient militia. This is also the view of a
number of members of the House, who
advocate an army reduction. It is held
that tbe regular army in time of peace
should be brought down to the lowest
standard consistent with the proper care
of the public works, fortifications, etc.,
and the necessities of frontier duty.
Then let the Cftneral Government supply
arms, ammunition, etc., to the several
States, aud also make annual appropria
tions in money to aid them in putting
their militia on an efficient footing both
as regards personnel, material and t/rprii
du corps These are propositions which
will be submitted for the consideration of
Congress, and they are likely to meet
with popular approval.

Labor.—This is a most delicate ques
tion—the vexed question of Southern
agriculture. It is not proposed to go
into the discussion at this time of the
merits of the different systems which
prevail in Georgia, but to drop a word
of caution to the farmer. Before making
contracts »or labor, consider well the
advantages of different systems and adopt
that OQ6, or that combination, which
promises the greatest success and satis
faction to all parties.
The questions for the final report of
this year will bring out some interesting
and practical information on this'subject.
“A Corset Liver.”—Seme medical
students in one of tbe colleges of this
city, dissecting a female subject a few
days ago, found what is called in dootora’
parlance a “oorset liver.” When tight
laomg has been practiced through several
years, a permanent dent or hollow is pro
duced in the liver, which may be seen
very plainly after the woman is dead and
her liver dissected out. This kind of
liver occurs so frequently in women that
physicians have given it the name of
“corset liver.” In the subject mentioned
the nollow in the liver was large enough
for the wrist of a grown man to be laid
in it. Young ladies who don’t want their
livers put into the newspapers and made
an awful example of after they are dead,
would better take warning.—Cincinnati
