Grant. “ Watch over the preservation of the Union with zealous eye, and indignantly Jr own upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of the Country from the rest, or to enfeeble, the sacred lies, which now link together the various parts."— Washington’s Farewell Address. Attempted Assassination of the Sheriff of Warien County It is with deep pain that we again feel called upon to record another attempted assassination in the county of Warren. We make the following extract from a private letter, not in tended for publication ; but we take the liberty’ of inserting it, because we know it to be true. The letter is dated on the 15th, and reads as fol lows : “Last night, about 2 o'clock, as Chap Norris, Sheriff of the county, was coming homo, some one on the inside of the fence, on the side of the wood, shot him, inflictinga severe and, some think, mortal wound. It is a sad affair, as well as a Cowardly act, to shoot a man at night unawares, and none but an arrant coward did it. Conjecture is in view as to the author of it. Nor ids’cry of ‘murder! mur der!’ following immediately after the report of the pistol, rang out upon the air with fearful distinctness.” We had hoped that wc had chroni cled the last of these Warren county outrages. There arc many professed Christians, and several ministers, among the Democracy of Warren, and we cherished fondly an anticipation that the public mind would be edu cated to cease this murderous political proscription. It could not be so, how ever; Chap. Norris is an office holder and a Republican, and the edict goes forth that he must die, and that by the hand of a cowardly assassin. Now we would like to inquire of venerable Democrats how much stronger their party is since this monstrous crime was attempted ? Is not the party ami the comity disgraced ? Is this any thing but an invitation to Congress to stamp out this lawlessness by a power as unrelenting as the Ivu-Klux organi zatiou itself. We do not say that the respectable Democrats of that county’ advise or endorse murder and assassination ; but tin© htiininc jwvtwvikO liatTCO WlilCtl they nurse and encourage toward all Re publicans is taken as a license by’ law less desperadoes to commit all manner of atrocitaes. Wc entreat the think ing men of that party to ns« all per sonal emh«>«rs In their power to arrest and have brought to trial and punishment,•before a Warren county jury, of the villain who shot Norris. We know several discreet and brave men in the town of Warrenton who, if such a thing is possible, can ferret out the criminal. It behooves the county’ to defend its own good name by making earnest exertions to bring to justice all such characters as wounded the highest officer of the county on Monday’ night last. Moro in sorrow than anger we npcak of these subjects. A Just Comcakisox.— The New York iSttn, in referring to Johnson’s infamous repudiation suggestions, makes the following applicable and just comparison : The hint conveyed in the last sentence, of the paragraph quoted is also delicately sug gestive: “It is not well to be over-tyixioijs in exacting from the borrow'd - rigid compli ance with the letter of the bond.” When the late lamented Dr. Webster, of Boston, was somewhat too impatiently dunned by his creditor. Dr. Parkman, he ingenuously knocked him down, and afterward burned up his body in a furnace. The American peo ple, President Johnson would remind us, are likely, if hard pushed, to treat their creditors in the same way, the more especially ;is they could not, like Dr. Webster, be made to swing for their conduct on the gallows. But that they would, under any circumstances, receive the same verdict at the hands of the world as Dr. Webster received at the hands of an unsymiaithizing Massachusetts jury, wc Imvc no manner of doubt. Henry M. Flint diedin Cambridge, N. J., on the 12th. During the war he obtained much notoriety as the author oi a series of letters written from Baltimore to the New York World, and signed “Druid.” He wrote in the interest of the Confede rates, aud although his letter* were highly sensational, IJroy continued die latest iniuriuation bm to matters within the Southern lutes, indicating that his sources of information were In-lUr than most other <v>rr<*-|w>M<lcnt». Miscellaneous Editorial Ittms. The Americus llcfnMbutn says that a number of fanner* in that section arediscuwmig the propriety of forming a stock company for the erection of a cotton factory. The idea is an excel lent one, ami the investment will prove most profitable to the stockholders. It is a shame that we should be com pelled to repurchase our own cotton from foreign and Northern manufac turers. By a little enterprise ami combination of the surplus capital of our farmers, factories could be erected, ami our State would realize both the profits of the cotton power and cotton manufacturer, and thus save the enor mous sum now gobbled by the middle men. The New York Tribune of the 14th gives editorial prominence to this statement: “We arc confidentially’ advised from Washington that the Supreme Court is pretty certain to adjudge the legal tender act unconsti tutional. We arc told that there will be but one dissenter from the Court’s judgment.” If this statement be cor rect, the sooner it is verified the bet. ter. It is impossible to conceive the extent of the commercial revolution which such a decision would produce. We do hop® that the Tribune is deceived, but the probabilities arc that such a decision will be rendered. An effort will be made to elect e.x. Vice President Hamlin to the United States Senate from Maine. Many Re publicans have advocated bis recall to some public position, as an atonement for the criminal blunder of throwing him overboard in 1864, to nominate that chief of American demagogues, Andrew Johnson, for the \ ice Presidency. Mi:. S. B. Packard, President of the State Central Committee of the Republican party of Louisiana, pub lishes a most scathing expose of the misstatements and inconsistencies of Gen. Rousseau’s report of the recent troubles in Louisiana. One man has publicly announced himself as a candidate for an appoint ment under Gen. Grant—CiiAs. S. Si>v.\< er, of New York city. He wishes to be U. S. District Attorney’ for the Southern District of New York. All of the $7,200,000 of the Alaska purchase money’ has been accounted for, except $20,000. It is understood that Mr. R. J. Walker does not deny receiving $25,000. Keen observers are no longer dis* trustful of General Butler's sincere support of General Grant’s adminis tration. Ilis introduction of a bill re pealing the tenuro-of-officc act is taken as saying to Grant's friends, in a bandsonic and practical manner, that he is willing to trust the next Presi dent with the appointment and re moval oi officials. Butler and Gen eral Rawlings are also said to have become very’ intimate of late. That irrepressible humbug, George Fran< is Train, having been released from a British dungeon, is on his way’ to the United States. Gen. J. A. Early writes a long letter to the Savannah News from Ontario, Canada, denying, in the most positive manner, the statement of Mr. E. A. Pollard and a correspondent of the .Yew, signing himself “A Vir ginian,” that Stonewall Jackson “once recommended a night attack to be made by assailants stripped naked and armed with bowie knives.” General Early served under General Jackson from the beginning of the battle of Malvern Hill to his death, and his statements can doubtless bo relied on. At least, we prefer to believe him to giving credence to the assertions of either E. A. Pollard or an anony mous “Virginian.” Although regard ing Stonewall Jackson engaged in a wrong cause, we regret to see pre tended friends attempting to give him the reputation of a savage. As an American, we are proud as any Con federate of his great soldierly qualities. A Narrow and Revengeful Pol icy Opposed.—A committee of the late Constitutional Convention of Mis sissippi, by throwing out the vote of several counties, on the ground of fraud, declare the State Constitution ratified, and ask Congress to recognize the new State Government. The New York Tribune, however, thus gently protests : We trust that this action of the Committee will not be sanctioned without a close sent tiny. The proscriptive section* of the Con stitution are much too severe, and would Is? likely to insure its defeat. We lielievc that nothing is to be gained in the Southern States by a narrow and revengeful policy, and it is belter even that Mississippi should stay out of the I nion-for n w hile than that she should be brought in by measures which would em bitter race against race, and prove fatal to the hope of genuine peace. - - The St. Jahuh Law School of the Washington Unircroity ha* admitted a young lady of that city us a student l>v unanimous vote of the faculty. Macon and Brunswick Bailroad. Wc take the follow ing article from the editorial column of the New York Times. It will be read with interest by all class of citizens, and should nerve them to renewed energy to make this great State as rich and powerful as her immense resources and incom parable natural advantages demand she should be. Listen not to politi cians, uoi to unscrupulous editors, but let every true man put his shoulder to the wheel and “push” with all his might. Contentment, wealth and happiness will reward the effort. The Times says: The construction of this road by New York capital is, we learn, bring pushed with much vigor to a completion, the whole line having been placed under contract to be finished by Ist of (ictobcr, next. Tire distance from Ma con to Brunswick is 187 miles, of which 60 miles of the road is built. For tire purpop of making available the harbor of Brunsw iek, the State of Georgia endorses the first mortgage bonds of this road for SIO,OOO a mik, as the completion of the Macon and Brunswick railroad will place Brunswick in railroad connection witii the leading roads of the Southern States. Geor gia has done well to foster an enterprise which will secure to the State the immense advantages of a seaport scarcely inferior to that, of our own. With the acknowledged advantages of the barlxn - of Brunswick, as compared with that of any other Southern city, the wonder is that it should so long have remained isolated from the interior of Georgia. Situated at the central point of the great inland curve of the Southern Atlantic coast, Brunswick is nearer to the Mississippi river than any other port on the seaboard. The construction of the Macon and Brunswick railroad will bring - Vicksburg within 600 iniles of railroad travel of Brunswick, while the distance from Memphis to Brunswick will be but little more than half the distance between Memphis and New York. 'Die people of Georgia look forward with much interest to the opening on the coast of a harbor which they claim is equal to the harbor of New York, in respect of depth of water, ease of access and uniform healthiness. We are pleased to record any evidence of progress in the material interests of the South and are gratified to perceive the restoration of confidence by Northern capitalists in Southern enterprises. Judge Lynch at Work in Indiana. Advices from Louisville to the 12th instant give the following particulars of the hanging of the Reno brothers and Anderson, the Express robbers, at New Albany, Indiana: About 3 o’clock this morning Luther Whitten, oue of the outs de guards of the jail, was met at the entrance by a party of men, who presented pistols to him, demand ing his silence or death. Whitten shouted, however, but was seized, knocked down, and informed that if he shouted again he should die. By this time the jail office w:ts tilled with men searching for the keys. Sheriff Fullenlove, understanding the situa tion, came down from his sleeping apart ment. and gained the door leadin'" - to the grounds on the west side of the jail. Here he met a force armed with pistols, which were directed at him. lie exclaimed : Gen tlemen, don’t shoot me; I am the Sheriff.” But one of the band lired a shot, which took effect in the Sheriff’s right arm, inflicting a serious and painful wound. The keyes were demanded, but he positively refused to surrender them. About a dozen of the band then entered Fullenlove’s room, where his wife lay in bed, and demanded the jail keys of her, but she refused to surrender them. They succeeded in finding them, however, concealed in a drawer. Thomas Mathews, one of the inside guards, was then compelled to open the cells of the men whom the mob had determined to hang. Frank and Wm. Reno were the first victims. They were dragged out and bunged along side of each other on the same pillar. Simon Reno was then brought out, but he fought the mob with great desperation, knocking one or two of them down lieforc he was overpowered and left suspended bet' - eon the ceiling and the flo >r. Charles Anderson, who was the last victim, was heard to beg for the privilege of pray ing; but this request was refused, and he was hanged at the southwest comer of the jail. After a further threat to kill the Sheriff, the mob proceeded to the train, carrying with them the jail keys. Armed men stood gwirvi to prevent any from being given. At 4 o’clock the train, with the entire party, consisting of from seventy-live to one hundred men, ‘started off. They came well armed sum equipped for the work. intended to han" a in."" Clark, the murderer of cDjofg'e Till, but they concluded not to do so, fearing to remain any longer. The band came from Seymour, Ind., in a car by themselves, which was attached to the regular train. Charles Anderson and Frank Reno were surrendered by the Canadian authorities upon tlie solemn pledge of the United States Gov ernment that they should have a fair trial, and, if found innocent, be returned to Canada. A Lady Sued for Breach of Promise op Marriage.—A London paper says: An inquiry took place on Wednesday before the Court of Queen’s Bench in Dublin, and a jury, to assess damages in an action brought to recover compensation laid at £2,000 for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff, Mr. Thomas Jackson Marks, lived near Ardee, in the coun ty of Louth, and in 1860 he entered into an engagement to marry the fe male defendant, Mrs. Rowland, then Miss Smith, who also lived in the county of Lo ith. After some time the engagement was broken off, and plaintiff then went to New Westmin ster, in British Columbia. While there a correspondence was opened between him and Miss Smith, which led to a renewal of the marriage en gagement. The letters that passed were of the most affectionate charac ter, and prophesied the happiness the parties would enjoy when the engage meut was ratified. In August, 1867, the plaintiff sold off his farm in Co lumbia to come home to get married. When he reached Canada, a letter awaited him from Miss Smith, stating that she could not really love him, that the supposed afl'ectiou was a mis take, and that the engagement, must be broken off. She shortly afterwards married Mr. Rowland, who wrote to the plaintiff, stating that he had lofig possessed the affections of the young lady. The letters between the par ties were read to the jury, ami the injury to the plaintiff* by the lady’s recession from her engagement •om mented on. It was alleged that the plaintiff di*|H>se<l of his farm, aud left Columbia only because he expected to marry the defendant.

Th® rlit-incUnaiion of Coiigrow t<> dispose of any cominittcc bnstinc's until after the holiday recess has caused a groat fluttering fundng the thousands of strangers who have come here to urge the passage of sjtecial measures. Besides the vexatious de lay, a large majority of people do not have any too much money to waste in hotel life—especially in Washington, where, though the nominal price for board and lodging.is only from $4.50 to $5 per day, and where “extras”— that mysterious item in every man's bill, whether he has anything extra or not—runs up the sum total to an almost fabulous amount. A story is told of n noted Nev \ ork politician —very penurious withal — who made our city a flying visit. Arriving in the morning, he concluded as he was to leave the next day, not to register his name at the hotel until just before the dinner hour; and for a similar purpose (economy) called for his bill immediately after breakfast the following morning, having had two meals and a night’s lodging. To ; his horror, he found his bill amounted | tosl7. Expostulation was in vain— he had had “extras”—a tire in his room—and he was forced to “•plank” the cash to prevent an unpleasant denouement. One can well imagine how a man’s cash will dwindle away under the manipulations of such insatiate cor morants, and the awkward predica ment of those who conic here on bus ness, expecting only to remain “a few days,” and find by the delays of Con gress they arc compelled to remain a few weeks, or leave without accom plishing the object of their visit. You will have observed that the Southern members have taken a very active part, thus far, in the present session of Congress, and it would not be surprising if some distinguished legislative talent was developed; for I hold that the mental status of the Rep resentatives from the Southern States is fully equal to any preceding delega tion. This is the opinion expressed by many and acquiesced in by all—even by that Mephistocles of Democracy, Hon. Fernando Wood; and when he admits any good in a political oppo nent, you may well believe there is good reasons for the statement. It is well that this state of things exist, for the affairs of the Southern States con tinue to attract the anxious attention of all loyal men, they realizing the necessity" of solving the Southern problem at an early day. But for the continued outrages committed in these States, the dominant party in Congress would, it is believed, be per fectly willing to remove all disabilities and "settle matters upon the basis of universal amnesty and suffrage; but the tone and temper of the late ruling class in most of these States, to-day, will not warrant such a course, and hence, 1 fear, the day is far distant when the ascerbities aroused by the late war will be appeased by any- act of magnanimity on the part of the Government. The feeling gaining ground daily here by the force of circumstances is, that before peace and good order can be fully established in the States lately in rebellion, the loyal clement must be reinforced by immigration, What Georgia needs to day is fifty thousand immigrants of all classes. This would throw into the State naturally, by the laws of interest, at least, one hundred millions in capital. But before this can bo accomplished every resident must be secure in the enjoyment of all guaranteed him under the Constitu* tion of the United States; and until this is the case it will be futile to at tempt to attract thither by cheap lands, a kindly climate and soil, and great facilities for business, any large number of the teeming thousands who migrate or immigrate each year. The money paid for Alaska con tinues to be a source of trouble. The current report is, that only five million of the $7,200,000 were actually paid to the Russian agent —that the bal ance went into the bands of Congress men, lobbyists, and newspaper editors. The affair has attracted sufficient at tention to warrant an investigation by Congress, and accordingly a committee for that purpose was appointed yester day. But I find no one who seriously believes that any great disclosures will be made. Congress will, as before stated, take a recess on the 21st until January sth, or thereabouts, and all important busi ness, including Georgia affairs, will necessarily have to be laid over until that body reassembles, before final' action.
