Wn AT WE ARE TO BE.
We ate glad to see that the Southern Press rec-
aI a tlie necessity of directing the minds of the
outhern people to the importance of building up
.amfacluring establishments of all kinds through-
ut our broad domain. We can but cheerfully
ad cur aid in such a cause, and encourage our
eopieto persevere in that line of material wealth.
Ia the next six months, the South should real-

THE PENITENTIARY.
Rive weeks ago, we made mention of the Peni
tentiary and its inmates. In looking through it
a ew days since, we find that from 40 convicts the
num ei has run up to 90, rather a rapid increase
we should say. We find now 17 negroes, the rest
whi„e. Col. Anderson, the Principal Keeper, is
vv aw ake with his mongrel craw, and no idle
bread is allowed to be ate. He says that he nev
er saw better hands to work than the negroes, and
he has sometimes to tell them, that they need not
go at such a rapid rate. No talking is allowed,
and the novelty of the position they fired them
selves in, and the exercise of the paddle for viola
tion ot rules, acts as a wholesome stimulant to
their muscles and brain.
There is still a large quantity of debris to be re
moved, but is growing less every day. Col. A. is
now building a smoke house, eating room and
other buildings of absolute necessity. With a lit-
l le aid from the State, be thinks that he could
build freight cars and realise a profit, as he could
work 100 men in that line of business. The Tan
bard is doing a good business, and as the leather
is fit for use he intends to increase the number of
wotkers in the shoe shop. r l’he steam engine will
soon be in running order, and machinery up. A
corn and tan bark mill will then be at work. It
is also the intention of the Keeper to turn his at
tention to tlie making of brick, and a number of
hands will be put to that work as a regular busi'
uess.
A number of the negroes display an aptitude in
doiug plain work with the saw, hammer, &c.
The worse punishment of tlie ftegroes is that of
forbidding them to talk ; the same rule is also ap
plied to the whites, aud the Col. is under the im
pression that when his colored pupils graduate,
they will be slow to return to his institution. We
do not see why the building of cars and the man
ufacture of shoes and tanning leather could not be
made a profitable business ; at least the State
ought to be freed from expense iu maintaining the
institution.
An outbreak was planned a few days since by
two of the Yankee convicts—the two that robbed
Col. Alexander of Pike—tlie leader was shot some
three weeks since in an attempt to escape, and as
soon as he got well of bis wounds, be was ready
for another attempt. The plan was divulged and
of course thwarted. We will 'at some future day
again allude to the subject
SWINDLERS—ADVERTISERS.
We see that brother Andrews, of the Daily
Georgia Citizen, has found out to his cost, that
there is a number of sharpers aud swindlers North,
who are very anxious to appear in print as self-
constituted newspaper agents, or inventors, dis
coverers, &.C., <fcc., of this aud that thing; all
to get money from those foolish enough to read
the fiaming advertisements that find their way in
to the Southern press at the expense of the editor
We are surprised that brother A. should be
caught napping, he being an old printer and edi
tor. Has not his past experience taught him that
there are professional villains in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, aud other places who make their
bread by advertising some plausible medical rem
edy, some great gift concern—valuable informa
tion given for §1—information given for nothing,
only, send postage stamp for reply, aud a thousand
other devices to fool the unwary and unthinking ?
All are humbugs and swindlers, and our advice
to the reader, is, to pass them by without reading
more than the caption. If our brothers of the
Press desire to know if the parties are responsible^
or such men have a local habitation, demand the
cash in advance. We have received no less than a
peck of Northern advertisements, and where the
senders, send us a stamp, we reply by demanding
cash. So far we have published but two adver
tisements, both paid for in advance. If we of the
Southern press, would act upon the general prin
ciple to demand cash from Northern advertisers,
the swindlers of the North would find their occu
pation gone ; but so long as we will give them a
hearing through our columns, we must expect to
be victimized, aud the reader swindled who will
invest his money, looking for some sudden fortune.
The Atlanta New Era says :
SjiaRPEIJS.—A linn in this city recently receiv-
a letter from a responsible banking bouse in New
York in answer to certain inquires about the Lon
don Watch Company. The following extract ex
plains itself: , f
We cannot find any such “institution” as Hart,
Gibson &, Co., 205 Broadway is a rubber goods
store, and cement roofing up stairs. They tell us
iu both places “that there has never been such
personstLat. it is a swindling concern, “that
about two dozen persons inquire for them daily,"
& c., &c.
Hart, Gibson & Co., is but one of hundreds of
such rascally concerns.

All persons assessed ou the books of B. P. Stubbs,

Important to Housekeepers.—Professor Blot
says that flour should never be kept in boxes or
barrels, but iu cloth bags ; and that it is tins
which gives the European its superiority over the
American article.
To Cure a Felon.—The Journal of Medicine
recommends as a cure for these troublesome disor
ders, that as soon as the parts begin to swell,
cloth, saturated with the tincture of lobelia should
be wrapped around them This kills the felon,
and is said never to fail if applied in season.
Salt Your Chimney.—In building a chimney,
put a quantity of salt into tlie mortar with which
the intercourses of the brick are to be laid. The
effect will be, that there never will be an accumu
lation of soot in that chimney. The Philosophy
is thus stated : The salt in the portion of mortar
which is exposed absorbs moisture from the at
mosphere every damp day. The soot thus becom
ing damp, fall down to the fire-place. This ap
pears to be an English discovery. It is used with
success in Canada.
It will be seen from an advertisement in our pa
per, that the Southern Mutual Insurance Compa
ny of Athens, Ga., is still operating and doing
well ; and in the last ten months has declared a
dividend of 40 per cent.—so we learn.
Without disparaging any other companies of
like character, we hesitate not to say, that the
Southern Mutual is as good as any organized, and
as reliable as the best in the country. It will be
seen that the scrip issued as dividends, will be le-
ceived as cash in payment on the insurance of
property—a great advantage and accommodation
to the insurer in these hard times and scarcity of
money.
The Supreme Court finished the cases before it,
after a four weeks session, on Saturday last and
adjourned. The cases, as decided, are concluded
in to-days paper. We can assure tiiose who may
have had a per.chant for a seat on this bench, that
they would not have found it of downy softness.
Diligent attention to business for ten hours in
each day, with the Thermometer a portion of the
time up to 90°—then at night and morning, the
mind still taxed to its utmost, makes the position,
in our opinion, anything hut desirable. The le
gal profession found ready access to the State Li
brary, of great advantage to them.
De ath ok Mrs. Gilmer.—The Richmond pa
pers record the death, ou the 21st inst., of Mrs.
Eliza F. Gilmer, widow of the late Gov. George
R. Gilmer of Georgia. She died at the residence
of Dr. G. W. Harris, in Goochland county, Va., iu
the 70th year of her age. Mrs. Gilmer removed a
few months since from this State to reside among
her friends in Virginia. This was a great trial to
the lo’-ing heart of Mrs. G. who, perhaps, had a
larger acquaintance aud was more universally be
loved than any other lady in the State. Ilers was
a beautiful character—her piety of the highest or
der, which added to a natural sweetness of temper,
made her the idol ot young and old.
OUTRAGEOUS MURDER.
Two negro men went to Mr. Rollins’ house* in
his absence near Toombsboro last week, aud ask
ed for something to cat, not satisfied with being
fed, they demanded Mr. R’s money. This Mrs.
R. refused to give them, whereupon they killed
her aud.knocked over her two children, seriously
wounding them, and also a negro girl. The girl
revived, made her escape and gave the alarm.
The negroes were known. They were pursued
to Macon. One of the murderers has been caught
and report says summarily executed. Pursuit, at
the last accounts, was still being made after the
other. This is some of the beauties of abolition
ism.
A call has been issued by leading men at Wash*
ington for a National Union Convention to as
semble in Philadelphia on the 14th of August.
Delegates were invited from all the States. The
call is said to have been received with general
favor and hopes are entertained of uniting a ma
jority of the people in support of President John
son’s administration.
A proposition has been made in the U. S. Sen
ate to pay all loyal men, North and South, for
property taken for the use of the army.
Congress has decided to build a new Executive
Mansion on the outskirts of Washington.
CITY MAP.
We have been kindly presented by Col. B. W.
Froeel, Civil Engineer, with a beautiful litho
graphed map of the city of Milledgeville. Also a
survey of the right bank of the Oconee river, from
Fishipg Creek to Carter’s Shoals, a distance of
four miles. We find the fall of the river, from
Carter’s Shoals to the city, to he 34.20 feet. Col.
F. will accept our thanks for his favor.
Why we Should Wear Beards.—There are
more solid inducements for wearing the beard
than the mere improvement'of a man’s personal
appearance, and the cultivation of such an aid to
the everyday diplomacy of life. Nature combin
ing, as she never fails to do, the useful with tlie
ornamental provides us with a far better respira
tion than science could ever make, and one that is
never so hideous to wear us that, black seal upon
the lace which looks like a passport to the realm
of suffering and death. The hair oft.he moustache
not only absorbs the moisture and miasama of
fogs, but it strains the air from dust and the soot
of our great smoky cities. It acts also, in the
most scientific manner, by taking heat from the
warm breath as it leaves the chest, and supplying
it to the cold air taken in. Tlie beard is not only
a respirator, but with the beard entire, we are
provided with a ftoinforter as well, and these tire
never left at home, like the umbrellas tind all such
appliances whenever they are wanted. Moffat
and Livingstone, the African explorers, and many
other travelers, say that in the night no wrapper
can equal the beard. The remarkable tiling, too,
is that the beard, like the hair of the head, pro
tects against the heat of the sun ; it acts as thatch
does to an ice house, but more than this it |be-
comes moist with the perspiration, and then, by
evaporation, cools the skin. A man who accepts
this protection of nature may face the rudest storm
and tlie hardest winters. He may go from the
hottest room into the coldest air without any
dread ; and we verily believe he might sleep in a
morass with impunity—at least, his chances of es
caping the terrible fever would be better than his
beardless companions.
We publish the above for the information of a
certain class of men who think that beard was
given to man for no wise purpose, iind that our
Creator knew not what he was doing, aud to cor
rect the error of the All Wise, we see smooth
faces.
Wo agree with the writer, that beard is as nec
essary to the face, as hair is to the head, and to
shave off’ the one is about as sensible as shaving
off the other. We wjjl not discuss the question
of looks, which has much to do with some meu,
for fear of looking old, or not looking altogeth
er as neat and tidy as they might fancy.
A sensible man will at all times consult the laws
of nature, and act accordingly. We would not
hear so much of bronchial affections if beards were
more universally worn by Ministers of the Gospel,
A hint is enough, wear what nature has given
with decency and neatness, for a filthy beard or
head of hair, is an abomination in the sight ot
heaven, and among men.
A private letter to the editors of the Recorder,
dated Butler, June 23, 1866, says:
“The treed me i) in this town and vicinity have
had their nerves shocked most unexpectedly with
in the last few days. A party of some twelve or
titteen men were in a house where a less number
were gambling, with large stakes on tlie table ;
aud, as a natural consequence, the excitement
was high. Oue of the men, aged 23 years, while
holding the cards in his hand, suddenly fell to the
floor, apparently dead. The proprietor of the
house was alarmed at .the idea of a dead man be-
ine- found on his floor, and had him instantly re
moved to the yard, where he died iu a few min
utes. On the inquest, some four or live of the
freedmen testified that the deceased fell down iu
the yard and died without any known cause. To
the question as to gambling, they all denied that
there had been any in the house.
At this stage of the proceeding, a hint escaped
another /reedmau who wa's present, and the fact
of gaming was examined into with particular
care; whereupon the proprietor of the room, a
very intelligent blacksmith, who had been tender
ly raised by an ex member of Congress in another
part of the State, confessed that what he had
sworn to, denying the gambling part of the trans
action, was false in terms, but could not amount
to perjury in law, as it was not pertinent to the
issue, which was simply to ascertain the place and
manner in which the deceased came to his death,
and not whether he or others were amusing them
selves by playing cards at the time! This distinc
tion was not very obvious to his brother ffe--d-
meu, who expressed themselves in high dudgeon
at the perjury of the witnesses, as bringing dis
grace on the colorhood generally, and on their ve
racity in particular when called into Court. Pros
ecutions for gaming and false swearing were
threatened so earnestly, that the wrong doers
took sudden leave of their families with a gusto
which implied their joy at the excuse for exile, and
a division for plunder among creditors, with more
or less equity, lias been the consequence, without
the least regard to the comfort of the wives and
children who have been thus forsaken by their
natural protectors under tlie civil rights code.
The freedmen are generally indignant at the be
havior of these fugitives from justice, and are
equally so at the hardship entailed on all of them,
of being punished like white meu for the imio-
cent. diversion of playing cards among themselves!
While the colored population is in a state of
ferment at the immorality, and at the law giving
them a white man’s privilege in answering for its
violation, the white people have gained by the
movement, in so far that they are jid of a half doz
en more troublesome citizens of African descent,
who will have to build up their enjoyments in a
new neighborhood. The good freedmen here are
also relieved of a pestiferous crew.”
The Constitutional Amendment.—Connecti
cut has ratified the Cental Directory’s Amendment.
The Governor of Ohio, it is stated, refuses to call
a special session of the Legislature for that purpose.
Indiana does the same. It is now pretty clear that
whatever may be the ultimate fate of the Amend
ment, it cannot become a part of the Constitution
before next spring.
Augusta—Her Railroad Connections.
We notice in our New York exchanges a para
graph announcing the arrival iu that ^eity of a
Charleston Delegation on their way to Cincinnati
to attend a Railroad Convention iiPthe hitter
city. The people of Cincinnati desire a shorter
and more direct line to the Atlantic thah the oi.e
by Parkersburg and Baltimore. The project ol a
road direct to Charleston by way of Rabun Gap
has for many years engaged tfie attention of Wes
tern capitalists. South Carolina has already ex
pended a large amount of money in this enterprise.
Her merchants and statesmen will do all in their
power to press the work to completion. The busi
ness men and capitalists of Charleston are lire peo
ple. They do not belong to the fold your-arms
and vvait-a-while sort. They are simple enough to
believe that the quickest way to get your wheel
out of the mud is to put your own shoulder to it,
and push it out.
What is xYugusta doing in this race lor improve
ment, and new markets / How are tlie two en
terprises in which she at present has the deepest
interest in, getting along ? Is tlie Milledgeville
road nearly opened to Sparta? We were inform
ed early in May, that the road was graded, bridg
es and culverts built, all ready for the irou. It is
only ten miles from Maj’field to Sparta, aud we
suppose that fifty days would be ample time to
lay the track that distance. Will the road be com
pleted to Macon iu time to draw a share of the rich
trade from Southwestern Georgia and Southern
Alabama to this market, which will be poured in
to and through the latter city ; by her Western
Railroad connections this fall ?
Savannah is already in the field actively engag
ed in pushing her arms further in the country to
draw hence to the interests of her own merchants
the rich spoils of the cotton fields. We notice un
usual efforts are being made to push her line of
Railroads down into the fertile lands of Middle
and East Florida. It is reported that all the lines
of Railroads west of Macon are being brought un
der the exclusive control and influence of Savan
nah enterprise and Savannah capital. We believe
that two of these roads are already under the con
trol, to some extent at least, of the Central Rail
road Company, which is known as a thoroughly
Savannah corporation.
Augusta must wake up or she will he distanced
in this race for trade and travel. Her position,
geograpically, is such that with proper exertions
on the part of her business men aud capitalists,
she can command a large portion of the trade west
■of the Ocmulgee and Chattahoochee rivers. The
road irom Cincinnati via Rabun Gap to Charles
ton can and must be tapped by the Savannah River
Valley Railroad, a favorable charter for which
has already been obtained.
The Milledgeville road, when completed to Ma
con, will certainly draw much ofthe Western trade
and travel here. The projected line to Columbia
will shorten the line North nearly one hundred
miles, and will give almost an air line from Rich
mond, via Danville, Greensboro’, Charlotte and
Columbia, to this place. The Milledgeville road
will be an extension of this inner aud shorter line
to the West.
These two latter roads—the Columbia and tlie
Milledgeville—should he pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. We know that the scarcity
of money in the South at this time forbids the hope
that sufficient funds can be raised here for the
completion of these roads. The bonds of the com
pany can, we are reliably informed, be sold at a
fair price in New York. This is the plan that has
been adopted by other roads to raise funds, and
we can see no objection to it. At all events, some
thing must be done, and done at once, or the in
terests of the city will be seriously impaired.
[ Chronicle Sf Sentinel.
The libel suit of State Senator Strong against
Mr. Bennett of the Williamsburg Times, which
has excited considerable attention in New York
for some time, was terminated^on the 22d inst. by
a verdict of 6 cents damages for the plaintiff. This
is substantially a triumph for the defendant. The
charge was oue relating to the conduct of the Sen
ator in the discharge of his official duties.
Dr. C raven says that when “twelve strongmen"
had, by brute force, rivetted heavy shackles up
on Mr. Davis, after a brief period of insensibility
the, noble martyr permitted his manacled feet to
rest upon the floor of the cell, and when he heard
the clanking of the fetters he buried his face be
tween his bauds, sobbed audibly and exclaimed,
“Oh, the shame ! the shame ! !” But the “shame”
was that of the great nation which permitted the
vile act to pass unpunished. The fetters no more
degraded President Davis than the crucifixion did'
the Saviour of mankind or the offer of a reward lor
tlie head of George Washington made him a trait
or.
There was no “shame,” thank God, for the poor,
wasted prisoner, hurled down and bound by a doz
en men—no “shame” upon the brave, noble ueo-
ple whose late President was thus outraged—but
a “shame” as enduring as history, red, burning
and scorching as the lightning of Heaven upon
those who thus brutally abused the power of a gi
ant.
That deed of infamy will live in history like
the black crime of Judas, and the “goodly com
pany” of torturers, tyrants, merciless jailors .and
brutal conquerors, whom Daute describes in his
“Inferno," will have in due season appropriate
additions to their “ardent circle,” as the partici
pants in that foul deed meet their fiery rewards.
I Richmond Times
Slave Trade Revived by the Fkkedmen’s
Bureau Agents.—“Pierre,” (P. W. A.) in a let
letter to t!io New York News, from Thomaston,
Georgia, states upon the authority of the negro
President of the Council of the Equal Right Asso
ciation of Georgia for that county, that tlie agents
of the Freemen’s Bureu have carried off large
numbers of negroes from that State under pie-
text of finding them lucrative employment iu
Louisiana and Arkansas, and have shipped them
to the West Indias and sold them as slaves. This
information was procured by the Equal Rights
■Association (all negroes) through their special
agent to Louisiana and Arkansas to learn the fate
of the negroes carried off. The decoyed negroes
were worked for a time on plantations on the

A McIntosh.—The New Orleans correspondent
of the St Louis Republican says;
Among the recent arrivals here is General Mc
Intosh, grandson of the old Scotch Genera! McIn
tosh, of Georgia, and son of Gen. William McIntosh,
by the beautiful Wattie, daughter of a Chattahoo
chee Creek chief, of course the noblest in the land
—as much nobler than the descendants of Poca
hontas as the Mclntoshes and Troups, of Georgia,
were nobler than John Smith, the Oriental rover
and colonist of the James. Gen. McIntosh is di
rect from the Creek Nation, in behalf of his desti
tute people, and tells me that the war has left a
fearful desolation in the Indian territories. It will
be gratifying to you to learn that the illustrious
half-breed, though sixty-four yeais old, and the
father of eleven children and thirteen grandchil
dren, and colonel in tlie Confederate armies of the
trans-Mississippi, still bears witness ofthe truth of
the saying that “blood will tell.” He is as straight
as an arrow, elastic in step, and as handsome as
all the Mclntoshes and Troups in Georgia.
Neir York Colton Circulars
Report the number of bales of cotton received
at all the American ports, from the 1st September
last to latest dates, at 1,915,000 bales, of which
the export to Great Britain was 1,142,000 bales,
and the total exports 1,417,000 bales. Ihe re
ceipts from the close of the war to the 1st Septem
ber last were 416.000 bales. This makes a total
of 2,331.000 bales received since the war closed.
The estimates of cotton in the interior markets and
on the plantations are variant, but- the probability
is that he amount thus held back would not aug
ment the amount on hand at the close of the
war and crop of last year to much over 2,500,009
bales.
How arc we to regain our predominance in cot
ton ? We think that it can be done only by man
ufacturing the cotton at home.— Columbus Enq.
The Confederate Colonists in Mexico.—
Recent Mexican advices are to the effect that the
hopes of the Confederate emigrants to Mexico are
at an end. The Cordova colony, founded by Gener
al Stirling, Price and Governor Harris, has been
broken up, the houses burnt and crops destroyed,
by the guerrillas of the Liberal party, and the
Confederates, about one hundred iu number,
forced to flee for safety to Gorelova. The Liberals
speculating upon the downfall of Maximilian and
dreaming of annexation with the United States.
A Novel Insurance Case.—We notice report
ed the following novel insurance case decided in
Missouri. The question arose upon the following
facts proved: A building is insured against loss
bj* tire. It falls down, being heavily overloaded
with merchandize ; the fall occasions a fire, which
destroys the fallen material. Query—is the insu
rance company liable ? The Court decided that
tlie building insured having fallen, ceased to ex
ist, as such, and that it ceased to exist by reason
of a peril not insured against, aud heuce that the
company was not liable.
The Cotton Tax in Georgia.—The Bureau
correspondent of the Herald writing from Mobile
about the five cent Cotton tax, says:
The progress ^of this measure is watched with
great interest and some alarm by the planters.—
Some idea of the nature of the proposed impost
may be formed from tlie fact that the two cent In
ternal Revenue tax ou cotton has realized tlie fol
lowing sums from August up to the end of May :
Macon district - $2,(*00,000
Augusta district. 1,000,000
Savannah district - 300,000
Atlanta district 280,000
—a total of three million six hundred and forty
thousand dollars in nine months. I give these
figures on the very best authority.
Wiio is Responsible ?—Tlie New York Herald
says the officials at Washington seem to be at
tempting to shift the responsibility of the very
foolish and cruel order putting poor Jeff. Davis in
irons." It appears that the President has nothing
to do with the mattei, and that the order has been
traced to the door of Secretary Stanton.

General Wade Hampton.—A correspondent
of the Memphis Argus, writing from Egg's Point,
Mississippi, says: “Ten or twelve miles below
here, at Lake Washington, lives, in quiet retire
ment. Lieutenant General Wade Hampton, the
second greatest cavalry chieftain of the late Con
federacy. He owns two or three extensive plan
tations, upon which he divides his time, devoting,
himself chiefly to the congenial pursuits of a rep
resentative Southern gentleman—books, planting,
and tlie chase. His former slaves, of whom he
owned several hundred, true to their ancient alle
giance and their own interests, remain with the
General, and are represented as contented and in
dustrious.”
Important Decision.—A case of considerable
interest has recently occurred in Mississippi. It
was a suit to enforce the delivery of a certain
amount of cotton, for which payment had been
made in ad'’ante some time before the close of the
war. The payment having been made in Con
federate Treasury notes, the defendant refused to
make the delivery, and setup, among otherthings,
that the act of secession by the State ot Missis
sippi and confederation with other States being in
violation of the Constitution of the United States,
no Government was created by said Confederacy
which could perform any binding act. The case
was tried before Judgq George R. Clayton, ofthe
Sixth Judicial District, who ordered tlie delivery
of the cotton, or its equivalent in value.
Condition of Jefferson Davis.—Fortress Mon-
roc, June 19.—In the recently handsomely fitted
up casement at Fortress Monroe, for the accom-
modation of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis and
their family, they are now living comfortably and
pleasantly. Their numerous friends furnish him
with all the various luxuries of the season, and
tlie Government is stinting nothing to make their
residence at the seaside during the summer
season as agreeable as possible. The relaxation
by the military authorities of the restraints upon
tlie movements of Mr. Davis is having a very ben
eficial effect upon his health.

• As a notable incident 1 may mention that two
Northern gentlemen purchased from Col. J. B.
Walker, 2,700 acres of land in the spring, at$I2,-
50 Slid $20 per acre—ploughed 1,000 acres with
two-horse turning ploughs, introduced all the im
plements for planting and cultivating, much to
the amusement of many of those wedded the
trill tongne aud scooter, and I am informed that
their crop is tlie finest in all the region, and that,
with no future calamity, they will make enough
to pay for tlie farm this year. So writes a corres
pondent of the Chronicle Sentinel of Augusta
from Madison, Ga. Good tillage will tell.
The newly planted cotton in Talbot county is
promising. Wheat cutting has commenced ; is
badly injured by rust: a halt crop may be realized.
Oats are good. The growing corn crop is late, but
of tolerable promise. The supply of old con is
well nigh exhausted. .
The Right Way to Support Paupers.—The
Agent of the Freedman s Bureau at Merdian,
Miss., has notified the colored population of that
place and vicinity, who have no visible means of
support, that from and after date the Sheriff ofthe
county will arrest all found in any condition aud
hire them out under the vagrant act.
A railroad conductor was recently before the
judicial authorities of Buffalo, to answer a charge
of ejecting a man from a car because he refused to
give his seat to a woman. The Court held that
ladies, or those who wished to be considered such,
are legally eutitied to no more privileges in pub
lic conveyances than men, and that when the lat
ter pay for seats they have a right to occupy them
so long as they conduct themselves in a proper
manner. The conductor was* fined $500 for act
ing on the supposition that a man was under an
obligation to surrender his seat to a woman.
Negro Character.—A negro in Jacksonville
was recently arrested for violating an ordinance
ofthe city, when his employer stood his security
for his lfne in order to keep him out of the guard
house. He got in the county jail, however, when
the freedmen undertook to raise a subscription to
pay him out. Another negro took charge of the
collections, with which he decamped. Negro No.
J at last managed to get out of jail, and by way
of showing his gratitude to his employer who had
helped him out of his scrape, stole several of his
hogs, sold them, pocketed the proceeds and also
decamped.
The cotton crop throughout Turkey will be
much larger this year than any grown before, but
a heavy fall in prices will have a serious effect.
At present, the price of cotton lias fallen to eight
piastres per oke, the rate some time since ranging
as high as twenty three piasters. Various circum
stances combine to produce this unfavorable state
of things, the mor.etary crisis and the fall caused
by increased imports from America being the
principal causes.
Judge Sparks, of the County Court of Coweta,
has recently decided that the County Judges have

We will continue to receive, through the season,
BACON, CORN and FLOUR, best quality. Will
sell it as low as can be laid down from Atlanta or
Western cities, less than car load quantities, and
make satisfactory profits. Demonstration—Freight
on Flour from Louisville is $4 40 per barrel, less
than a car load ; 3 00 bA r car load ; Bacon is 2c
per pound ; less than a car load, 2| to 3c ; Corn
53c per bushel; less than a car load, 65c. The
difference in Freight is sufficient profit.
We wholesale entirely, that is, sell by Cask, Bar
rel or Sack, and can sell lower in this way than
any house, who retail and wholesale, as we do
not charge package customers to make up for loss
weight and skipper bacon, incident to retailing.
PLANTERS aud MERCHANTS who wish to
buy by package, aud not as much as carr loads,
need go no further than to our store to get their
supplies.
Therefore, all take a note of this, and put a peg
down there. Respectfully,
