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! i A. W. KjiSfcJi. Macon, July Hilt, 1869.

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* tt S Tub First Naw Tax as Cotton,—The Brownsville (Texas) Sentinel says that on the Uth ultimo, -a rauohero brought to that place one hundred and five pounds of cotton In the seed.

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* -In, addition to. the Bisbpp keen, tbe following uamed oletgy were present: ReVs. ft.

On a day between tbe tirst and the fifth of June, Turner gave to he." in Washington between $1,600 a.id $1,70() of this spurious currency, which she bad been passing, Instructed her bow to get rid of it, and made her promise to divide with him tbe good money she re ceived. She then returned to Philadelphia and from that time to the tenth was in constant correspondence with Turner on the subject. On tbe tenth of the month she started to Georgia. She passed SIOO of the money in Wilmington, where she stopped several days, SIOO at another place and finally $450 in thiß eity, as stated above. Lieut.

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.

New York, Jane 28. 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.

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 tbe author of the letters—that tbe letters mere not td toy baoiVvmtfog.

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.
