Fire.
The alarm of fire was sounded on Friday
night, about one o’clock, which was caused
by the burning of the stable of Mr. John

Sheffied. near Viueville, on the 25th of
August last. Each of the men asserted
their innocence to the last moment of their
existence.
“Take Notice.”
Attention is called to a special notice in
our paper this morning with the above
heading. We have known the advertiser
personally and intimately, for a long time,
and can assure any one who desires the
services of Mr. Broadhurst, cither as book
keeper or salesman, that he. is honest,
upright and conscientious in the discharge
of every duty.
Street Performance.
Weston, the “walkist,” eclipsed ! Bates,
the “politician,” surpassed, for we have in
our midst Professor Hieman, the celebrated
blind “tight rope performer,” who was to
give one of his marvellous exhibitions ou
Greene street yesterday afternoon. ’The
crowd assembled, when the aforesaid Pro
fessor took up a collection, which amounted,
all told, to $.3.10. The Professor couldn't
see the rope at that price, and offered to re
fund the money, but the crowd being satisfied,
retired.
A Word tn <bc Colored People.
A Virginia paper, iu a seasonable article
to the colored people, says: “Last winter
was one that made the hearts of the most
hardened sicken. Poverty stared many of
our citizens in the face, more especially the
colored portion. The winter before last was
as bad, and instances have been cited where
they were compelled to burn their bed
steads for tire wood, while many around
them were freezing and starving to death.”
We would admouish our colored friends that
winter is again approaching. Are they
prepared for it? Work hard, keep sober,
save your earnings, and fortify yourselves,
your wives and little ones against the chill
ing blasts of December.

Savannah.
We were much gratified, during a recent
brief visit to Georgia’s seaport, to observe
the many evidences of prosperity to be met
with on every hand, and which seemed to
extend to every branch of business there.
We met many old friends, of all political
opinions, by whom we were cordially greeted,
aud among whom we passed the time most
agreeably. Savannah is a delightful city; is
fast extending her business relations with
the interior, in all directions, and increasing
the number of her population. Free her
people for a few years from the blighting in
fluences of an unjust and bigoted proscrip
tion for opinion's sake, and she will soon be
come in fact the Queen City of the South.
While in Savannah we stopped with our
excellent friend, Col. T. S. Nickerson, of
the Screven House, and bear cheerful testi
mony to the superb manner in which his
establishment is kept.

Milledgeville.
A visit to Milledgeville, during the past
week, impressed us with the short-sighted
ness of our people in consenting to the re
moval of the eapitol. The public buildings
here were but recently thoroughly renovoted,
repaired, and re-furnished, at a very heavy
cost to the State, and contain ample room,
besides affording all the conveniences neces
sary for the accommodation, in luxurious
style, of the Executive and Legislative De
partments. We do really hope that Mil
ledgeville will again be made the seat of
our State Government, and thus remain at
least until the present buildings become di
lapidated, or our people and State regain
their former prosperity.
The Lunatic Asylum, a short distance
from Milledgeville, is a credit to Georgia,
and deserves well of her citizens. Dr.
Green received us kindly, and courteously
showed us through the establishment. We
will make further mention of this admirable
institution at a future day, and give extracts
from recent reports by its officers.
We visited the Penitentiary, also, and
were shown through its various depart
ments, all of which appear to be well con
ducted.
The Messrs. McCombs’, of the Milledge
ville Hotel, are most excellent caterers, and
clever gentlemen. Then house is pleasantly
located, and exceedingly well kept.
All classes of citizens received us kindly
in Milledgeville, and we are pleased to
think that there is less bitterness ot feeling
between the two parties there than exists in
a majority of the communities in the State.

lieu llt of un Old and Worthy Citizen.
We regret to learn, from the Savannah
Republican of yesterday, that Col. Wm.
Thorne Williams, an old and highly
esteemed citizen of Savannah, died at his
residence in that city on Friday afternoon.
Col. Williams was a son of Maj. James
Williams, an officer of the Revolutionary
war, and was born in Philadelphia, Pennsyl
vania, on the 17th of June, 1785.
He removed to the State of Georgia in
1803, and established the first publishing
house in the Slate in the year 1805. He
served as un officer of artillery during the
war of 1812, and was for ten years Captain
of the Chatham Artillery. He was Mayor
of the city (or several terms, one of the
Justices of the Inferior Court for many
years, acting President of the Bank of
Georgia until the beginning of the late war,
a member of the Vestry of Christ Church
•for fifty years, and Treasurer of the
Chatham Academy for fifty years. Ho
discharged the duties of all these honorable
and responsible positions with ability, and
in all his transactions, public and private,
he was governed by the stern principles of
honor and integrity. He was endowed with
a vigorous mind and a strong constitution,
and retained his mental faculties in the
fullness of their strength almost up to the
hour of his death.
Stand From Under!
On Tuesday next, the October elections
will be held in I’ennsylvania, Indiana,
Ohia and Nebraska. It is conceded on all
hands that these elections will furnish very
reliable indications of the vote for Prcsi
dent in November. If there be Republican
gains approaching those in Maine, Ver
mont and Connecticut, Gen. Grant will be
elected by an overwhelming majority ol the
people and the States.
A Democrat’* Opinion ot Democrats.
A prominent Democrat of Pennsylvania,
iu a letter to a friend in Georgia, says:
I think we will carry the city ; as to the
State, if the success of Grant results in the
exile of Hampton, Forrest, Toombs, Hill
and the other d—d fools that have done
their ‘level best’ to beat Seymour, it will
serve them right, aud the country will be
well rid of such traitors.”

tial election, has not yet been taken up, we

jubilant Democrats. At tho State elections
on the 13th instant, I will bet —
SIOO that the Republicans carry Pennsyl
vania ;
SIOO that the Republicans carry Ohio ;
SIOO that the Republicans carry Indiana.
1 know that Democrats will bet when they
think there is a chance to win; and
as some of them are boasting ol carrying
the above State.:, 1 make this proposition to
test their sincerity. Put up the money,
Democrats, or quit your big talk. Enclosed
you will find the $.300. You may be aston
ished, Mr. Editor, when you read this, but I
bet to win. zk Democrat.

Rock-a-by Baby, on the Train-top.—
On Wednesday, as the down Columbia night
express train on the South Carolina Rail
road was approaching Stilton’s Turnout, a
signal was given for the train to stop. A
lady got on, and when the train moved off a
basket, neatly covered with cloth, was found
in the conductor's office. The basket was
addressed to “G. W. Clark, Mayor of
Charleston.” No one knew anything about
it, and while it was being examined, an
unmistakable cry was heard. When thc
basket was opened it was found to contain a
white boy baby, apparently about lour days
old. The child was sewed up in a piece ot
cloth, and had no clothing It Tvas neces
sary to make some provisions at once for the
“ little stranger,” and, as it was thought that
Mayor Clark might not be in the way of
such things, the stewardess, Martha, left
the child at Branchville to be nursed. The
eliild, at last accounts, was doing well, but
a permanent wet nurse is wanted. When
the city is ready to receive the child, Martha
will, it is presumed, deliver him to the
Mayor.— Charleston News, '.Uh.

}From the Greensboro Herald.
.1 HOME INCIDENT.
There are many now alive who can well
remember the Rev. John Howard, a Metho
dist minister, who resided, many years ago,
in the city of Greensboro, in the house now
occupied by Dr. H. H. King. When the
Georgia Methodists undertook the building
of the Georgia Female College, Parson
I Howard was appointed a traveling agent
lor the College, and moved to the city of
I Macon. Ai the same time there lived in
this county old Col. George Foster, a great
pipe-smoker, old Mrs. Ellis, a charitable
widow, and old Jemie Heard, who made a
business of hauling freight to and from
Augusta, and who took as much pride in
his team as he did in his children. These
three persons were well known, and often
spoken of as the oldest members of the
Methodist Church in Greene county.
Five or six years after Mr. Howard left
this county, he returned to attend a camp
meeting to be held at Hastings’ Camp-
Ground. While preaching one of his favorite
sermons, about the widow with her cruise of
oil, a little mead and a few sticks, throwing
in her last mite for the good cause, his con
gregation were warmed up to a high pitch.
He then spoke of the past, and of his old
friends. “A few years ago," he said, “when
I would take my stand in this pulpit to
preach, it was a rare thing to see a strange
face. Now, alas! I preach to strangers.
Where are my old friends ? Most of them
have gone to their homes in a better world.”
And then, with tears streaming down his
cheeks, he asked, ‘Where is brother George
Foster 1”
“Here I am,” said the old Colonel, who
was seated in the altar, near the pulpit.
“Glory to God 1 brother Foster, a few
more whifs at that old pipe of yours and
you’ll go to glory.”
“Where is sister Sally Ellis?”
“Here I am,” shouted the old lady from
the midst of the congregation—“here I am
brother Howard, still on the road to
Canaan!"
“Glory to God! sister Ellis, a few more
acts of kindness to your poor neighbors,
and you'll go to glory.”
This sent the old woman off' in a fit of
shouting. Now the old wagoner, who
always laughed in shouting, knowing that
he would next bo asked for, sat clapping
his hands and anxiously waiting his turn,
when the Parson asked,
“Where is brother Jetnmie Heard ?”
“Ha, ha, ha, here 1 am,” said the old
wagoner, “here is old Jemtnie, brother
Howard, the same old two-and-sixpencc.”
“Glory to God 1 brother Heard, just
crack your whip u few more limes over that
baulky team ol yours, and you will go to
glory."
This was more than the old wagoner could
stand; springing to his feet, all trembling
with excitement and resentment, he cried
out in a loud voice, “ Stop, John Howard,
stop; you never knew Jetnmie Heard to
drive a baulky team, and no man shall say
so, preacher or no preacher,” and the old
wagoner, turning with indignation, seized
bis chair and left the stand, saying as he
went, “that is too bad, to say that Jetnmie
Heard’s team is baulky.”
Just then the scene at the stand can be
better imagined than described. The con
gregation, however, soon dispersed to their
tents, and the Parson called on the old wag
oner to apologize. “ Brother Heard,” said
the Parson, “ you must forgive me, 1 did
not intend to insult you or disparage your
team.”
“Well, well, I’ll forgive you, brother How
ard, and you must forgive me for getting
mad, for when I recollect how old Joe Carter
used to have to cuss his team up hills, ami I
drove mine up without cussin— then to hear
you call ’em a baulky team, was a leelle 100
much for me."
So after mutual apologies and forgiveness,
the Parson and wagoner once more became
friends. There are both men and women
now alive in this county who witnessed the
above scene.
Good Breeding.— 1 believe this matter of
good manners and good breeding to be
chiefly in the hands of mothers. It is as
easy to teach a child to say " Thank you for
tho bread,” as “ Give me some bread ;” as
easy to accustom a family of children to bid
their parents good morning upon ordinary
as extraordinary occasions- Let there be
uo “ company manners.” Convince child
ren by example, as well as by precept, that
the best they have to offer iu matter and
manner should be laid before those they love
most earnestly.
A boy taught at ten to enter the parlor
and bow to his mother’s friends, will do it
with case at twenty. For what, after all,
is ease of manners but politeness being
long practiced aud incorporated as an un
conscious constituent of the individual? It
may be well for us to remember the
original significance of gentleman, gentle
woman—-terms which, 1 fear, would never
have grown out of the blustering carriage of
a large class of modern gallants. “ Gesitie
blood,” and “noble lineage,” were synonyms
in those old days. “ Suaoitter in modo,
forliler in re.” was the Latin proverb, and it
has often occurred to the writer that we of
the present generation are more in danger
of forgetting thc mildness of manner than
the strength in deed.
Nutmegs.—Nutnjegs are the fruit of a
beautiful tcee which grows in thc Molucca
Islands, and iu the other parts of the East.
All thc parts of the tree arc aromatic, but
only those portions of the fruit called mace
and nutmeg are marketable. The entire
fruit is of an oval form about thc size of a
peach. Thc nutmeg is the innermost kernel.
It is surrounded by a skin which, peeled off,
constitutes the mace of commerce. The
tree yields annually three crops. The first
one, which is gathered in April, is the best.
Thc others are gathered in August and De
cember. Good nutmegs should be dense
aud heavy, aud free from worm holes. When
the worm-holes have been artificially filled
up, the feeling of lightness in the hand is a
means of detecting the fraud. An attempt
has been made to cultivate nutmegs in the
West Indies, but without success*
A Thief in a Bank.—There is a leading
bank in this city where a thief is employed
at a good salary. This paradox is thus ex
plained : Some months ago a large sum of
money was stolen from the bank safe. All
thc evidence showed that the theft could
have been the work of no outsider -that it
must have been committed by some one in
the bank. Consequently detectives were
employed, and all the clerks, from the cashier
down, are now under strict surveillance.
They all know that one of their number
must be guilty, but who it is, the guilty one
alone can tell. No clerk dare resign, for he
would at once be suspected of the crime ;
nor can the real thief make use of fiis booty,
because any unusual expenditure would di
rect suspicion toward him. A pleasant bank
that to be connected with.

Death of Hon. Howell Cobb.
New York, October 10.—Yesterday morn
ing, Col. Williams, of Florida, accompanied
by a Baptist clergyman, called on General
Cobb. An animated conversation occurred
between the minister and General Cobb.
Mr. and Mrs. Cobb were taking leave of their
guests on the stairs leading from the parlor
to the office. Mr. Cobb sat down on the
stairs, when Mrs. Cobb observed a tremor of
the body and contraction of the muscles of
the face. The attending physician of the
hotel was called, but before medical reme
dies could be administered, the General was
carried into the reception room, and, in a
few minutes was a corpse.

News was received here this morning of a
terrible Ku-Klux outrage in Russell county,
it being the murder of a probate Judge
and Clerk.
Resolutions wore offered in the House
calling upon the Governor to have the
county declared under Martial law, and
troops to be sent there at once.
In the Senate a resolution was offered
requiring the Governor to offer a reward of
five thousand dollars for each man engaged
in the murder. The Democratic members
suggested that it was wrong to denounce
people without a hearing or a trial.
News has been received this evening
that the whole report was false, and neither
of the alleged murdered men are hurt.
The Governor received a dispatch stating
that there was not a word of truth in the
alleged murders; the whole thing was a
trick to make capital for the Northern
elections.

[Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
Chase on the Prospect—Gov. English
Not Confident-
Washington, October 7.—Chief Justice
Chase expresses himself freely to his friends
concerning the political situation. He feels
entirely confident of Grant’s election, and
not only this, but says be will be President
for eight years if he desires it, for he will be
cautious, will bring good men around him,
will make no serious blunders, and that his
influence upon the Republican party will
be to consolidate it. On the other hand.
Mr. Chase said, in his judgment, the Demo
crat :■ party will be hopelessly divided by
the fact that it has fully identified itself
with the rebels, and this will surely drive off
large numbers of Norlherh Democrats, and
leave the party powerless against the Re
publicans- Mr. Chase expects to be able
to sympathize fully with General Grant’s
Administration.
Governor English, of Connecticut, is in
town. He had an interview with the Presi
