Keep Cool.
W’e advise our Democratic friends
to keep cool. There is no profit in
abusing Governor Bullock. He is
making no demand on Congress that
is not likely to be substantially granted.
He only ask the correction of positive
usurpations of your leaders, and which
you all admitted would be corrected
if Grant was successful. His policy
may throw some drones out of office,
but it won’t reduce the cotton crop
one boll or the corn crop one car.—
Neither will it reduce the aetual Dem
ocratic strength in the State a single
vote. It may enable some that arc
now so inclined to leave the party;
but no fair man should desire the
votes of men conscientiously opposed
to them. You set out to trample him
ami his party under your heels—do
you wonder that he has taken steps to
thwart your designs?

The area and resourcesof Georgia are suffi
cient to sustain and give profitable employ
ment to ten times her present population.
The development o< these resources will give
to the people immense, unbounded wealth
and prosperity. If the people of Georgia will
not itevelope " these resources, strangers will
n and grow rich unilvppuJenl upon what our
, own people have within their grasp. Who
> are to make these developments ? Wc reply,
, the white race in the State must do it, or
, strangers, we repeat, will wrest our own
Cornucopia from our hands, leaving us still
’ poorer than ever—still bemoaning our pover
ty— still wrestling with invited 'misfortune.
. The time is past when wc may sit idly and
, listlessly, as it were, and receive into our
pockets, as if by legerdemain, the rich pro
! ducts of white fields of cotton cultured by
l slave labor. Every man is now Ins own
I slave, or a slave to sloth. Who would not
, prefer to bo the first - Who would prefer
' the latter? Energy, directed by intelligent
‘ Enterprise, will succeed. If our people'will
• only cease to bemoan their misfortunes and
poverty, and energize themselves thorouglfiv
for t he work before them, one of the most itn-
• portant needs of the State will l>e met, and a
i Igiffht future will be opened up.
What constitute properly the development
of the resources of the State* Mainly, it is
' Improved cultivation and reclamation of pre
maturely worn out lands, made by a reekle-s
and cruel mode of fanning, preventing that
full development of our soil, of which it is
, so susceptible bv proper management. This
eannot and will not be accomplished by the
process of cultivation which at present clmr
aeterizes to policy of a majority of our farm
ers, who have so long followed in the foot
steps of their fathers, who lived in a less
advanced age. The abridgment of their
large plantation operations must and will be
the result of the change in the system of
l.ilxir—in the substitution of slave for free
labor. Small farms must take the place of
large plantations; and, so far ns possible,
every man of energy must become a landed
proprietor in a smaller wav. Five men
pecuniarily interested in lands of their own’
will produce as much prosperity to the
country as ten hired men. The‘more the
landed interests an divided, the greater will
Im- the prosperity of the masses. This accom
plished. another great need of tlx- State is
met in its strides to prosperity.

Gratifying.—Notwithstanding the
strife that unscrupulous demagogues
succeeded in creating in the State,
every person who worked last year
realised handsome profits. Money
would be plentiful if those who made
it did not hide it for thieves.
According to sworn returns made
under the Internal Revenue law. the
receipts for liquor .sold at retail in the
United States amounted to fourteen
hundred million dollars.
Ki*o*ll****** Mitorial Item*
h srrMo be generally understood
that <»«r tartnvrs, ns fast n» they di*-
ot their crops of cotton, arc
turning u portion of the proceeds into
gold, and taking it home with them.
This want <4 confidence in the stability
of public n flairs is tn D regretted. It
is to l»e presumed that most of this
gold is the dear profits of crops. How
much lietter would it lie if the owner
would invest it in s<»ine paying stock,
or if number* of them would combine
ami erect new eottnn factories. But
it tiny are determined to hoard the
gold, wc cannot too strongly warn
them against taking il home with
them. The fact of its possession can-,
not be kept a secret, and in these
times of general demoralization there
are plenty of persons, both black and
white, in every county, who would not
only steal this tnonev, but would com
mit arson to get an opportunity to do
>o. Certainly our planting friends do
not value the possession of gold, within
their personal reach, as highly as they
d<> the safety of their lives and fami
lies. If you will save your gold, gen
tlemen, make a special deposit of it
with seine responsible banking insti
tution. Special deposits are not touch
ed by the banks, and the money will
always be ready when called for. The
planter who was robbed of $15,000 in
gold, near Union Point, Ga., a few’
nights since, must have indulged a
stupid confidence in those around him.
The idea of keeping that amount of
money in a little iron box in his bed
room beats anything wc have heard or
read of in many days. Did lie expect,
the existence and whereabouts’of this
large sum to remain a secret? If so,
lie is too credulous to have its custody;
if not, he docs not know that there
tire, perhaps, a hundred men in his
county who would not hesitate to kill
him to secure it. And if not in his
county there are thousands elsewhere
who would travel a thousand miles to
do the job for him. Wo entreat our
country friends not to keep their
money’ at home. It is unsafe, and
absolutely dangerous to do so.
Thebe is a gread deal of sickly .sen
timent in regard to the impropriety of
approaching Gen. Grant and recom
mending particular individuals for
Cabinet appointments. We rather
suspect that those who have most to
say on this line, have an axe to grind
for some of their own friends, and
they dread the effects of competition.
These New York politicians are old
Coons, and arc not half so virtuous as
they would have outsiders believe.
What can be smaller than an at
tempt to injure the business of a citi
zen because of a difference in politics,
is not every man amt woman with
honorable instincts willing, at heart,
to let their neighbors alone ? It is un
manly and an unchristian mode of
w arfare which, w c regret to say, pro
iessed Christians indulge. The more
the pity and the greater the shame.

that Johnson will have made money

the locality.
As the two magnificent double-deck
ed steamersof the mail line w ere carry
ing their load of human freight to and
from Cincinnati, at two miles above
Warsaw, near Rail's landing, on the
Indiana shore, they met. Both boats
are supposed to have sounded their
whistles at the same time, so that
neither pilot could hear the other sig
nal : then, when the second whistle
sounded, it was, alas, too late.
THE LADIES’ CAIIIN
of the United States had that evening
been the scene of unusual gayety. —
There were bridal parties on board
full of the happiness of their new love,
young and beautiful girls just blushing
into womanhood, gallant cavaliers pay
ing homage at beauty's shrine. Con
versation, music and dancing, served
to make the hours fly. Among the
brightest and fairest were the Misses
Johnson and Jones. A gentleman of
this city, who had been dancing with
them, had given to each young lady
the address of the other one, which
they placed in their belts. But the
hours increased, and weary at last,
the dancers had just dispersed with
many good nights and wishes of pleas
ant dreams, when a shock was felt, and
then came the awful sickening ery of
THE BOAT IS ON FIRE AND SINKING.
In a minute the scene changed from
the gayety of youth to a carnival of
death. People, old and young, men,
women and children rushed into the
cabin, partly dressed—husbands and
wives, brothers and sisters, fathers
and children, looking at each other in
agony; too many, alas taking a final
view of their loved ones. At this
stage
A TOUCHING APPEAL
was made by Miss Jones to a gentle
man on board. As the wood work was
becoming too healed to bear, and the
flames were forcing their way gradu
ally intto the cabin, she went to him
saying, “ Oh! Mr. , you have
talked to me this evening, you have
danced witli J<-O~ I chu
and where I come from, save me ! oh,
save me! oh, save me!” He told her
he had a wife to save, and he could
not help her. Poor girl, she is beyond
earthly help now.
A FRANTIC HUSBAND.
One 8f the gentlemen on board had
the presence of mind to unhinge a
door, which he threw in the river,
and, after he and his wife had jumped
in, lie placed her in a position to
reach the shore. “ Now, stay here,
dear,” was his request,” “until I can
fix myself some way, and wc can both
be saved.” Imagine the husband’s
agony, just as he had procured some
thing that xvould float, to see a man
swim toward the frail support of his
wife and knock her away from it. She
was drowned.
A DOUBLE ESCAPE.
One gentleman and bis wife escaped
in rather a romantic manner. Fasten
ing life-preservers to both of their
persons, he tied her right arm to his
left, then took a shutter, over which
,they placed both arms. “Now ! one
—two —three—jump,” he cried, when
"both jumped, and after a little maneu
vering, they arrived safely on shore,
minus, however, several articles of
apparel needed to make them present
able.
AX AWFUL SCENE.
A lady on board the States relates
that as she and her husband were
moving toward the shore, in the water,
she saw one of the life-boats filled
with people who had escaped. But
all at once the America begins backing
toward the shore, and mercilessly the
rudder strikes the boot, crushing and
upsetting it. None of those passen
gers were saved. After escaping one
danger, only to meet death in another
form.
AITAXLING.
From the shore could be seen women
with nothing but their robes de null
to protect them, rushing about in the
flames screaming for help; mothers
with their children in their arms, most
of them babies, rashing about, franti
cally.
One mother holding her baby in her
arms ran to the guards, but the water
seemed to her only a chilly grave;
then she jumped in the cabin again,
then to the guards. The last that was
seen of her she was standing up with
her baby hugged op to her in her
awful death, burning up.
THE SCENE AT WARSAW
beggars description. Relatives hunt
ing each other, the wounded scream
ing with pain ; people, who at home I
were blessed with wealth, bemoaning
their sad plight. The ladies generally
had perforce to go to bed while their
linen was being dried. Clothing was
brought by the Open-handed and warm
hearted citizens of Warsaw, and 1
everything was done to render them i
as eomibrtable as possible under tin I
circumstances.

trousseau* which had cost so much 1
time ami trouble in getting together,
had been lapped up in the hungry ;
flaiues. Money was gone, and peiim- i
less, nearly naked, three of the newly j
married couples changed their warm !
beds for the icy water in the river, and ,
half dead with fright and two-thirds i
frozen, they only readied the friendly
shore to be greeted by a piercing cold
wind. But at last they were saved ; |
and they fell into the hands of the
good Samaritans. One couple, just
married, have fulfilled their holy vow
to love each other until death should
them part; but death took them both,
both together, frozen, drowned, dead,
in their beautiful youth, with the kiss
of pure love frozen on their lips.
A DEATH STRUGGLE IN THE JAWS or
DEATH.
A gentleman with his sister, a love
ly and accomplished lady, were pas
sengers on the United States. At the i
first shock the gentleman was thrown
from his bed clear out on the floor.
Hastily pulling on his pantaloons, he
rushed to the stateroom of his sister,
burst open the door, and, seizing her
in his arms, carried her down on the
main deck, where, procuring a door
shutter, he threw it unerboard, and
leaped after it with his sister in his
arms. He placed her securly on the
shutter, and was swimming behind,
pushing it with its precious burden
toward the shore, when, to his horror,
a big, burly, able-bodied man swam up,
pushed his sister oft" the board, ami
climbed upon it himself. The young
girl sank with a scream, and if’ she
came to the surface it w as so dark and
the confusion so great that he could
not find her. Maddened by the has
tardly act, be made for the author, and
seizing him by the throat a struggle
to the death ensued. They rose and
sunk together, still struggling, and
when last seen were grappling with
each other. Whether either was
saved or both went down together is
not known. The lister sunk .beneath
the waves and was lost, but she was
terribly avenged by her brother.
THE OFFICIALS OF THE MAIL COMPANY
were on hand doing all they’ couid to
alleviate the suffering of the afflicted.
Carter, Pierce, Wade, Taylor, Heilly
and others were on hand.
THE PILOT AND ENGINEER OF THE
AMERICA
showed themselves heroes in standing
by their posts. With flames around
them, and escape being fast cut oft*,
the pilot rang the sounding bell to
back her, and at both ends of the wire
stood noble, true men, ready to do
their duty though it. cost them their
lives. Even the glittering engine
seemed to have caught the spirit of
the scene, and with prolonged putt’s,
as if in a last agony, the wheels were
hurried around, taking their precious
freight to safety. Pilot and engineer,
Doth trusting in the other, both envel
oped in flames, but still unfaltering.
Mysterious Hanging op a Cold-
Blooded Mubderer.—-While Brown
low’s militia was stationed in Frank
lin county in 1867, a young man by
the name oi Brown was seized by
them and summarily shot to death,
without charge and without cause.
One of the parties engaged in that
bloody crime was a notoriously blood
thirsty character by (he name of
Baleigh or Rolla Dotson. He is rep
resented to be a criminal of the deep
est dye. He is charged with having
committed no less than five cold
blooded murders—two in Franklin
county, two in Shelby, and one upon a
woman in Kentucky. For one or both
of these in Franklin he had been ar
rested and confined in the jail at Win
chester for some time past. Night
before last a party in disguise went to
the jail and took the prisoner out,
conveyed him to the yard of the court
house, and hung him. They attached
a placard to his back, with the follow
ing inscription:
“Whosoever sheddeth man’s blood,
by man shall his be shed. When ye
have no law in the land, then shall ye
take the law into your own hands :
“Mysterious.
“Wonderful.
“Miraculous that escape has been so
long.
“Kolla Dotson, charged with live
murders.”
The garty left the victim swinging
in the air, and the citizens of that
town were horrified at the sight yes
terday morning. A coroner’s jury
was summoned, and their verdict was
to the effect that the man was hanged
by persons in disguise and unknown.
Wc were unable to obtain particular
details, but enough is stated to define
the character of the transaction, and
to show that a murderer has gone to
his final account. — Nashville Union,

Tiie Whipping Post.—Ou Satur
day, between four and five o’clock in
the evening, a young man by the
name Os Huffington, said to be very
respectably connected, was brought
ont of the prison and pinioned to the
post, where, in the name of the State
of Delaware, the majesty of the law
was vindicated by Sheriff Richardson
administering ten lashes on the bare
back. An effort having been made to
have the government remit the lashes,
the performance was postponed until
a late hour in the day, bu( no reprieve
arriving, the sentence was fully exe
cuted. Owing to the uneentainty of
hour in which the lashingwas to take
place, the usual crowd of children was
not present to take warning from the
“fate of evil doers,’’ and become better
citizens. The crime for which this
young man was punished was the
stealing of a coat from a leading law
