JOURNAL AND MESSENGER.
• A. W. BEKSB, MHor.
MACON, THURSDAY, JULY &
VALEDICTORY.
Circumstances, the recital of which
oould ia no wise interest the public, have
determined me to offer to the proprietors
of this paper, my resignation as its editor.
They have accepted it, and from this date
my connection with the Journal and
Messenger is at an end.
To its patrons, my steadfast friends, I
say good bye with real regret For more
than two years they have shown a generous
appreciation of my efforts to serve them
that will, white memory lives, be proudly
counted among .its richest possessions.
From the depths of a heart glowing with
gratitude for ao much kindness, I invoke
for them and theirs every blessing that
can come from genuine peace and assured
prosperity—from broken fortunes repaired,
and lost liberties regained. In every con
juncture of the eventful past, they have
been true to manhood and their country."'
May the future be radiant with the rich
ness and completeness of their reward!
For my successor, Gen. Wm. M. Browne,
a journalist of large experience and rare
ability, J ask a continuance of the encour
agement and favor so liberally given to
me. lam assured that he will deserve it
all and more; and that under his manage
ment this honored journal will press still
farther forward in the advance towards
fame and fortune
And now my duty is done. Standing in
the sombre shadows of that sad word fare
well, and with a full appreciation of its
meaning, nothing remains but to pro
nounce It. Let this sentiment go with it:
May time, in Us flight, soon crown our
dear old Commonwealth with a sweeter
peace, a more golden prosperity, and a
more perfect liberty than her truest sons
ever pictured in their brightest visions.
As they have been steadfast in their re
sistance to Wrong in all its shapes, so may
they soon win tne guerdon that Heaven
always decrees, at last, to those who are
wise, and brave, and true to the end. May
Georgia live, whatever else sbatt perish!

WHAT HAN BECOME OF THB MONEY 1
In answer to this question,asked frequent
ly of late, the Federal Union aays, if the
people who make the Inquiry had noticed
the number of cars loaded with corn, flour
and baoon,which are ooutlnually arriving
in our cities, sod whioh are being hauled
off into the country, they would know
what hrd become of it. It has all van
ished like the morning cloud or the esriy
dew. It has been sent away to buy pro
visions. Ir seems to he a law of God that
•n agricultural people who buy their pro
visions osu never prosper. This applies
squally to individuals and to communi
ties. But many planters will uot believe
it, although eaob year the troth atarea
them In the faos, they go on raising cot
ton and buying provisions until a bad crop
or a low price ruins them. The only
planters who keep any of the money
which their laat cotton brought are
those who raised their own provisions,
and they are also the men who are Paying
up their old debt*

A NEW CHURCH IN AMUUCCA
The writer spent e very pleeoant dsy in
the pretty little city of Americas last
week, sud was pleased to notice the man
ifest signs of improvement there. We
know of tow places in Georgia which have
grown more steadily since the war, and
the spirit of improvement seems to be still
in the ascendant.
A pleasant incident connected with our
visit to Americus was the laying of the
cornerstone of Calvary (Episcopal) Church
whieh took pise* on Thursday morning,
at 8 o'clock. The following account, with
some corrections, we take from the Bumter
Republican, of Thursday :
On last Thursday morning at 8 o’clock,
the corner stone of Calvary Episcopal
Church, in this city, was laid by the Rt.
Rev. Bishop. Beckwith, *> ! the Diocese of
Georgia.
The ceremony, thongh brief, was quite
impressive.
The congregation gathered at the resi
dence of Dr. E J. Eldridge, where a pro
cession was formed, the choir in front,
the ministers in their robes and surplices
immediately after, add the membership
and visitors following, in whioh order the
church lot Was approached. The order of
procession was reversed at the church
ground, the people forming laterally about
the spot, and the divines drawing near
the north-east corner of the edifice, suc
ceeded by the choir chanting the one hun
dred and twenty second Psalm.
Prayer was said; the vault es the Cor
ner-stone was filled with the following
relics, to-wit: the Bible, the PrayerTßook,
the Church Journal, the Church Register,
a eopy of the Macon Telegraph, a copy of
the tiumter Republican, aud two Ameri
can coins; the lid was replaced; and the
' three strokes of the gave! in the Bishop’s
hand, blessing and consecrating the edi
fice in the name of the Father, Son, and
the Spirit, completed the hallowed dedi
cation.
The beautiful chant. Cantata Domino.
(Psalm xcviii,) proclaimed the accom
plishment of tbe sacred work, and the
thankful joy of the assembled congre
gation.
In some chaste, appropriate and impres
sive remarks, preceding the benediction,
Bishop Beckwith congratulated the little
flock upoD the evidence there displayed of
their zeal aud energy, affirming that no
other parish iu Georgia bad achieved so
much. He paid an especial ami deserved
tribute to the two fair young ladies or our
city whose untiring and devoted exertions
did. such effectual and so great service in
inaugurating and carrying forward the
founding and building of this church.
At tbe close of the. Bisbpp’a remarks,
the beautiful Gloria la ExceJsis was sung,
after which, the benediction was. ytf>-
nounced and the congregation dispersed*

A Sad and Sudden Death.—As we
sit down to write, tbe solemn monotone of
tbe church bell’s funeral toil tells os of a
striking instance of the precarious tenure
of ha man life.
On last Sunday night, the Rev. John
Long, of Tbomasville, North Carolina, a
Methodist divine of twenty-five faithful
years’ service iu tbe pulpit, began preach
ing to a large congregation in Wesley
Chapel—tbe church of the Rev. Mr. Kim
ball. He had continued some ten min
utes, when be suddenly stopped; and with
a livid face and gasping utterance asked
Mr. Klmbair If anything appmutva be
the matter with him. He sat down in an
easy position, folding hfe hands, and
throwing bis head back on tbe sofa in a
reclining manner. Percelvirfgbis illness,
and at tbe same time obeerving that be
was quiet, Mr. Kimball arose and con
cluded the sermon, all the time thinking
that Mr. Long’ was batter, from bis qui
escence.
As be ended his sermon, he turned to
speak to Mr. Long and discovered that he
was speechless.
It was an apoplectic stroke, from which
he haver recovered. He died Monday
morning about 5 o’clock-. He neverapoke
again. ’
The beet medical attention waa called
in, but vainly. Doctor# Boring atitiWest
moreland gave immediate care to tbe case.
This sad event has created deep feeling
in the city. All of the circumstances
have tended to invest It with unusual
interest.
Mr. Long was a gentleman of fifty-eight
years of age, of irreproachable character
and high Chilian standing. He bad
been in the city but a week or two, and
contemplated making bis residence here.
His family aka still in Carotins, and have
yet to learn the terrible intelligence.
Mr. Long was buried this morning with
due solemnities. Masonic honors were
paid to him.— Atlanta Constitution, 6th.
In the Grass. —On a jaunt which we
made ftum town we were surprised to find
some farms very grassy. We saw two
farms that have been neglected so long
that any work now is almost useless.
Tbe corn about two feet high is tasseled
out and th* eotton is almost matted with
grass. This is throwing away time and
labor.— Americus Courier, 6th.
■ Hiavt Rains. —We were informed
that the raius of last week did damage on
lands near the creeks. The cotton was
overflowed and greatly damaged. The
rains were very heavy in name places,
whilst they were quite light in others.
We found one Harrow belt that had re
ceived no rain. Crops generally are doing
well. The prospect is very good that
provisions will be made for man and
beast.—

To the Editor of the World
My Dear Sir—l observe in your excel
lent paper, es yesterday’s date, a short
paragraph taken from the Sun newspaper,
of ttiia city, advising the readers of said
paper that I had brought suit against E.
M. Stanton, late Secretary of War, for
having arrested and imprisoned me du
ring the war; and I also note your com
ments on Baid paragraph with pleasure,
and beg to tender you my most sincere
thanks.
One would naturally. suppose, after
reading the remarks or notice of the edi
tor of the Bun, that he was evidently in
favor of mob law.
I was arrested by Mr. Stanton, and, by
his order, held in prison for six months,
and then was tried (purely a mock trial)
by a court (a mob) of bis own selection ;
and said court (mob) did not find me, after
going through tbe forms of a trial, worfby
of death; only adjudged me worthy of a
few years’ imprisonment, and
selected tbe Albany
place of my confinement.
Tbe infuriated mob before * .

tv, to deal so harshly
me as to decide that

trial, was guilty pf the charges
brought against me or not. There was
uot a particle of evidence before the mock
court that I waft toe author of toe letters
alleged to have been written by me, and
on which I was arraigned foe trial; but
pn tbe contrary, there was ample aud un
disputed ftvideoce to prove tout I was nut

several weeks’ investigation, I was round
guilty by tbe mock court and sentenced to
five years’ imprisonment, leaving the
place of my confinement to tbe immacu
late Secretary btanton. At the time of
my arrest, I venture to say that there was
uot a more cautious, circumspept citizen
residing in the eity of'Washington.
I well knew tbe malice and ill-wili en
tertained and cherished by all the govern
ment officers about the VV ar Office against
ail prominent men in tbe city holding
views adverse to their own, and therefore
desired to keep out of therr clutches, and
conducted myself accordingly. A more
wilful, wicked, unlawful aud diabolical
outrage was never committed upon a quiet
and unoffending citizen than was com
mitted upon me aud my family, and yet
the editor of the Sun thinks I was uot
sufficiently severely dealt with. I send
you this hurriedly written statement, Mr.
Editor, not for publication, but to)
own inspection and information.
With my best respeots, I am, Ac.,

the work done by snch of the inmates as are able
to do thialabor. We also recommend thata Poor
House be established in conjunction with the
Hospital, and that the city relinquish all its rights
In the property to the county, but aid the county

for detention and treatment.
We find the books of the Clerk of the Superior
Coart neatly and correctly kept, bnt think that
some additional books should be kept in the Or
dinary’s office; and that, after examination, the
vouchers should be cancelled; all ol which the
Ordinary promises to attend to in future.
Os examination of- the bonds of the connty
officers we find that the Tax Gollector has given
a bond to the OSveHdr W WSJMI, MPfaone to the
connty; and as more than 550.000 have passed
through his hsnds curing the year, belonging to
the connty, we consider the bond insufficient and
recommend it to be Increased.
We find that the Connty Treasurer's bond is bnt
•15,000, with insufficient security, and recom
mend that it beglfengthened. As some $70,000 of
