€jre^outl)mt|l writer ft (3 rn ISA. ILLEDGEVILLE, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 26,1871. Dueling still Lives. The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 19th iust., details ‘an affair of Honor’ which occurred in that vicinity—but up on South Carolina soil—at Graniteville, on Sunday morning, S o’clock the I7tb, which was put through in the regular, old-fashioued style, almost within sight ot tLe time-Lonorcd fields of glory, where feats of ilk renown are chronicled upon nearly every acre, and, in some of which our brother of the Constitutionalist, if we mistake not, might say ‘pars fui! We rejoice to see, however, that he has lived to an age when he can advise against the propriety, necessity or usefulness of the practice; and when he can cast his moral feelings together with the dictates of his maturer reason and experience, agaiDstthe impulses of the passions which wildly and biindly act in subservience to the rules of a code that impels to precipitancy of action and the most un- fortunate results, without recovering any right or subverting any wrong—a mere wager of battle without even the excuse or aid of the superstitious sentiment which onco justified its usage. The quaint romance of chivalry—its mytho logical achievements and daring, airy nothingness—ought to be played out; and would be if men reflected before de ciding, or would consent to be governed by the general voice rather than the in dividual suggestion, “Reputation—that’s man’s idol Set tip against God, the maker of all laws— Who hath commanded us we should not kill, And yet we say we must, for reputation ! What honest man can either fear his own Or else, will hurt another's reputation? Fear to do base, unworthy things is valor: If they be done to us, to suffer them Is valor too ” No one will admit that he seeks to take the life of his fellow man under the fiction of honor, that he may thereby evade the law’s penalty for murder ; nor will any one allow that he aims for the advantage which superior skill or famil iarity with the use of weapons not nn- frequeutly promises; yet he deems a ‘crack’ or a ‘thrust’ imperative, to bind np his wounded sensibilities or to save from tarnish his proud escutcheon—vis ions that float in the atmosphere of heated or illy trained iainds, and no where else ! But is success, even under such aspects, inevitable? On the contra ry, is there not as often an adjourned question, or a deeply regretted termina tion which inflicts its stings and imbues its perpetrators in the depths of undying remorse ? There is a way to break up Dueling, if the right sort of men would take it in hand ; and they who have indulged the habit are the ones to initiate that way. Generally 6peakiDg, there is no difficul ty in forming associations to repress evils which deform or disturb the fair proportions of the social system ; and of all the monstrous inconsistencies that call for like aid, Dueling demands an effort. Men will differ, and their pas sions will instigate collisions: but after a few cases have been subjected, by mu tual agreement, to the ordeal of disinter ested interference and amicable settle ment, scarcely any one will deride efforts that shield his honor equally with hi 8 rights, or that hold up the wrongs he may hastily have imposed upon another, solely for the purpose of having them honorably recanted. If, however, pride or obstinacy contemns both reason and friendly remonstrances, the dernier resort of legal prosecution in the State where the combat takes place, should be per sistently and firmly substituted. A Court of Honor is but a Court of Justice, and oftenest the justest of the two. The law of extradition should also attach by com. ity; or failing in that, through positive statutory enactments. There is nothing truer than what the old axiom asserts— ‘wherever there is a will there is a way/ possible, that no regular and timely ly statements are rendered, properly au dited and certified, to the Heads of the different Departments, at Washington, and that these defalcations and embez zlements are only brought to light when more is asked for to be similarly made way with ? But we are informed that, “tbe Treasury and War Departments are endeavoring to shift the response bility for Hodge’s defalcation!” while ' he, honest and unfortunate man, ’‘asks for leniency and begs a small provision for his family.” We pity his wife and children—we sympathise with all his kindred far and near—but they should never have been so indelicately associ ated with his iulamy,—albeit beggary is allowed many strings to its bow. Another illustration, how crime is fos tered in our country, may be taken from the recent explosion of the Union Tor pedo Works, near Fulton Street, New York, by which many lives were sacri ficed and much private and unconnected property destroyed : After the accident, every body knew and all confessed, that the works of the Union Torpedo Com pany "were carried, on in direct violation of law /” But somebody made lots of money, and some were handsomely feed to keep all dark ; and so of hundreds and thousands of illicit operations all over the land—run in defiance of the laws and winked at, yea participated in by the sworn agents of tbe Government! How the Swindlers Manage! One Major Hodge, an officer under Grant’s administration, finding all fur ther dodging useless, and a losi of time— confesses to having misappropriated on ly $450,000 of government money—but says he had ‘help’ from a banking honse in New York, that knew the monoy fur nished by him for their joint speculation, was money belonging to the Govern ment. What self-extenuation! How thoughtful the Major is after the thief has stolen the horse : But seriously : it is astonishing and savors of a participa tion in the fraud, why these Government employees are suffered to keep on hand so much idle aud unnecessary cash, that they have time and opportunity allowed them to use it for private speculation ftud as individual capital. Can jt he The Kentucky Agricultural College. Is very flourishing, and very popular. Its Military department very strict and its farming work, honest and earnest on 205 acres of crop. The course of edu cation is extensive and noble. Ten Professors conduct eleven departments of learning, besides the Horticultural and Agricultural Schools proper. Her farm and houses, to start with, cost $100,000, besides all the ready money for outfit and Professors. The Legisla ture was very liberal and showed their respect for the greatest interest of the people, by large appropriations to set the College on a strong foundation. Kentucky received 330,000 acres of United States land, and sold it for 49 9-10 cents per acre, makiug $184,- 000. Georgia gets but 270,000 acres, and Gov. Brown values it at 75 cents per acre, or $202,000. The Presbyte rian Church at Milledgeviilo offer to give the State as much or more than Congress gives; Her Oglethorpe Col* lege and fifty acres are worth more than the United States land, and about as far out of Milledgeville as the Kentucky Colledge is out Lexington. A few thou sand? of dollars and proper Mechanics could have all repairs, paiutiug 6cc., done up in two months, and ready for the School to open, by time the Profes sore can get settled. The State ought to be sure to get this valuable old Col ledge while the Church offers it. The only^condition asked is, that the State shall locate at least a part of the Agri cultural College there, or all of it, if tb State choose. That would be a good plan, as it is in sight of Milledgeville, and then the State House and Governor’s House would still be on hand as the seat of Government, aud the Capitol could come right back to Milledgeville. Let the Legislature be wise, accept of the gift of Oglethorpe College for the Agri cultural and Military College, and hold onjto the old Capitol and bring back the seat of Government to Milledgeville. The Germans and France, There are those who thought that one result of tbe victory of the Germans, in the recent war, would be to hasten that general disarmament to which all lovers of peace look forward so anxiously. This idea prompted many to hope for German success. It was said that the Germans were the assaulted nation, that the Ger man armaments have always been kept up because of the threatening attitude and armaments of Fiance, and that the defeat of the latter power, ridding the world of the perpetual Napoleonic men ace, would be the signal for the nations to reduce their forcos, and establish themselves on a “peace basis.” This re sult has not, unhappily, followed. Ger many, instead of disarming, has been re arming and reorganizing her forces ever since the peace. Never were her can non-forges, her military workshops, so active as they now are. New systems of arms are already being introduced among be German soldiers ; the Dreyse gnn is to be superceded by a yet more destruc tive weapon, tbe Werderriflo; a new cannon, eclipsing the grunting mitrail leuse—tbe Krupp, which is 6aid to be capable of beatiLg down a strong for tress at cine miles’ distauce—is being constructed. The forges at Essen have been enlarged, and fitted up with new and stupendous machinery. Moreover, the fortresses on the French and Austri an frontiers are being rapidly repaired, and new ones erected. The world is not, then, to be taught that it is secure by German example. It inevitably follows from this warlike activity of the victori ous empire that all other nations must hold themselves in readiness for defence. The vital and material forces of the peo ples must still be exhausted, year by year, in this distressing and burdensome suspense. Already, France, slowly and with difficulty recuperating, and once more acquiring settled government aud the sway of law, is providing means to defend herself from further invasion, and to again take an important military part in the events of Europe. Neither a con stitution, nor a definite public policy, nor education, nor a comprebeusive finan cial system, has yet been voted ; fore most comes this necessity, in the eyes of French statesmen, to reconstruct a large standing army, to devise new methods of organization and di ill, to repair forts, and to raise military taxes. General Trochu recommends a regular army of half a million; General Ladmirault shakes his hoary head, and thinks France cannot be defended with le^s than eight hun dred thousaud regulars, compulsory ser vice of all men of 21 for seven years, and a reserve of a million ; Gambetta and Thiers think the adoptiou of the Prussian system—a hard, grinding, ty rannical system, after all is said, and one which must grievously burden the nation saddled with it—absolutely im perative on France. If we look beyond the two recent belligerents, we find, a- mong tbe other European States, the same hopeless devotion to increased ar maments, the same martial activity, the same resolution to stand armed and c- quipped for any emergency which may arise. liussia’s military preparations are unflagging aud constant. Austria, Ita ly and Turkey, are sinking, year by year, into a deeper slough of debt, aud has tening toward bankruptcy, in order to maintain this incubus of a large stand ing army. England feels the stress of the fashion, aud the war minister of our British cousins breathes confident pre*- dictions at public festivals that, when the expected crisis comes, her majesty’s forces will be found equal to the occa sion. All of which leads ns to renew our self-gratulation that we are far dis tant from European squabbles and rival ries, and need neither fear nor bo jealous of the neighbors across our borders. take care to have our conduct and mo tives fully understood by our Northern friends. We should say to them, that we are actuated solely by tbe desire to pro mote the success of Democratic priuci pies and Democratic candidates; that we wish to leave them free to act, as the best interests of our party demaud ; and that we pledge the in iu the contest all the arJ we caa give, only asking them to give us a good platform, and as accept able candidates as they can When the platform is announced, and the can didates selected, the Democracy of the South can ratify the action of tbe Na tional Convention, aud they can use ev ery effort t) secure the success of the party ; for on :ts success depends the existence of the Southern States. If our people concur in this policy, arrangements should be made in each State to carry it out fully and effectual ly. Should they not concur, we must, in any event, act in perfect accord, and with entire harmony. Too much is at stake for us to differ among ourselves, and I for one am wil ling to yield my own opinions for the success of any plan which will tend to save the South from ruin. I am very respectfully and truly yours, Wade Hampton. To General D. II. Hill. New Advertisements [communicated.] Criminal Court- To the Legislature of Georgia : You are soon to meet. Tb6 jails of Georgia are full, and will certainly stay so, for we have 500,000 free negroes be sides the criminal whites. We must have, not more Courts, but more Sessions; more work out of our Judges. Nobody wants District Courts ; they are hated by]thc people, and ought to be ; and Bullock’s attempt to organize them as he did, without the advice and consent of the Senate, was itself a high crime) an usurpation, a conspiracy against the State. The people do not want petty Courts, and ignorant tyrants, with near ly boundless power of fine and impris onment. Give us able Courts, learned in the law of liberty, exalted iu moral and personal character, and above suspicion. The Superior Court Judges are enough. Pay them well, and make them hold Court all the time. Two Courts a year, as at present for civil business ; but Quarter Sessions, at least for Criminal business. Some of our Superior Court Judges now getting $2,500, in gold, hold Court only fourteen weeks or less, out of fifty-two-in a year. Make them held Quarter Sessions, to keep the jails emp ty ; or have a special Criminal Judge, for every Circuit, equal in learning to the civil Judge, and riding the same Circuit quarterly, like English Judges. The first plan is best, and has least pa tronage. Lex. Widespread Ravages of tin Cholera in Russia.—New York, September 16.— A correspondent waiting from Berlirr, August 3l, says that the most melan choly intelligence comes from Russia con cerning the progress of the cholera in that country. The disease does not seem to have exhausted its virulence much, though in some places there was a slight diminishing of the number of deaths. European Russia is entirely overrun by the disease. Destitution and uncleanliness, the busy handmaids every where of disease, have in Russia an ally more powerful even than they, superstition. A large proportion of the people’s food consists of sour, half fermented eatables and drinkables. A comprehensive change must be made before a normal state of health can be attained and tbe epidemic kept in check. Tbe cattle plague, is reported to be again appearing in South ern Russia. R. R. K.

Fifty cents a bottle, Findlay Iron Works! Gen. Wade Hampton on the Situation. The following letter, addressed by Gen. Hampton to the editor of the South ern Home, is published in that paper iu its issue of the 19th : Columbia, September 9, 1871. My Dear Sir.—The Southern Home, of the 5th instant, containing your edi torial on the policy to be pursued by tbe Southern States iu reference to tbe next National Democratic Convention, reach ed me a day or two ago, and along with it the letter in which you were kind enough to ask my opinion on this ques tion. Though 1 cannot flatter myself that any opinions l may entertain can have the weight your partiality would induce you to attach to them, I most cheerfully comply with the request con tained in your letter, because it is only by consultation and discussion among ourselves that we can hope to act judi ciously and harmoniously. It would perhaps be sufficient to say that I concur fully iu the views you have expressed, as to the impropriety of the South taking any part in the ap proaching Convention ; but, iu defer ence to your wishes, I give briefly the reasons which have induced this convic tion in my mind. 1st. The Southern Delegates in a Na tional Convention could exeicisc no in fluence in shaping the policy, making up the issues, or selecting cand.date3 for the next contest, without seriously injuring the prospect of a Democratic triumph. That this would iuevitably be the case, is proven by the result of the last Dem ocratic Convention, where the very pres ence of Southerners was used to preju dice the action and defeat the candi dates cf our party. 2d. If the Soutbern Delegates could not with propriety exert any influence in the convention, while their mere at tendance in it might result in infinite mischief to the Demcratic party, it is surely the part of wisdom to refrain from participating in the deliberations of the Convention. 3d. The Northern Democracy will have to bear tbe burthen of tbe fight in the next Presidential contest, and it is only right that they should choose (he field and select the standard-bearers. These, in brief, are the reasons, in con junction with those you have already so ably advanced, that havo convinced me that our true policy is to abstain alto gether from all participation in the next National Democratic Convention. Of coarse, in pursuing this policy, we should Sudden Death of an Entire Family.— The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, of Saturday, says: “From a gentleman who arrived here yesterday, we learn that an entire family in Faison’s Township, Du plin county, died very recently, aud un der such peculiar circumstances, that tbe neighbors have suspected foul play, and have therefore taken measures to have the matter thoroughly investigated. On the evening of tbe 6th inst.,*Mr. Ex urn Morris, the father of the family, was taken veiy suddenly ill with burning pains across his stomach. He rapidly grew worse and expired the next day. On the 9th, Mrs. Maciune Morris, his wife, aged 40, also died, having suffered in a similar manner. On the 11th, a child named Ruth, daughter of the a- bove, and aged only 8 months, was taken ill and died, and on the 13th, Charles, 6on to the above couple, aged 4 years, also died. There were natural grounds for sus picion, and tbe stomachs of the two chil dren were taken out and given in charge of Dr. D. M. Buie, ot this city, for the purpose of making an analysis of their contents. Mr. Exum was an old and highly re spected citizen of Duplin county, aud the sudden decease ot himself and fami ly has cast a deep gloom over the sur rounding section. Tbe neighbors, in general, believe that tbe entire family were poisoned, and there are strong sus picions, we understand, of those who committed the horrible deed. ’ Hon. Jack Hamilton, ex Governor ol Texas, says the Macon Telegraph, is a- bout as well qualified to pronounce an opinion upon tire character of the Texas trewly loyl as any ma*i we kuow. He used to be ‘‘in” with them. Well, here is what he says about the creatures who make up tho majority of the so-called Legislature of that State : “I never saw a man give one cf them a dollar for his vote, nor did I ever see them steal anything. But when we see a poor, miserable cuss, who never had $150 in his life, come to Austin, borrow money to pay his expenses, and pres ently find him losing a thousand dollars in a night at faro, driving around in a fancy team, making liquor bills, wine bills, and all sorts of bills, and buying a buggy and fine horses to go home in, we know lie is a thief as well as if wo had seen him steal.” Tho Bainbridge Sun, cl the 16th. says: “From all sections of our county come gloomy reports about the condition of the crops since the late storm and raiu. All the 1 >\v lands have been sub merged, aud the crops thereon almost totally destroyed. It is very unfortu nate for tho prosperity of our section that such is the case, but there is no getting around it—the damages to a great ex tent are irreparable. The Talbotton American says the corn crop of that section will be short, and not a half crop of cotton cau be made, now. HEALTH! BEAUTY!!
