A e»fo about which tho doctor* differ in
roporteu in New York. Another, iu
LnuDville, Kv., is reported more positive
ly hy the Ledger of that city, of the 17th
in«t. Whether either or both of these
were gecuno canes of Asiatic cholera, it
appears that both terminated fatally in a
short lime. The reports are at least suf
ficient to quicken the apprehension that
tho cholera will reach America this year.
There in no canse for alarm, but proJenoe
in diet and the nse of all precautionary
measures ought tb be resorted to.
The acconuts from Europe represent
the cholera ns still spreading on the east
ern frontiers of Germany.
A St. Mary's correspondent of the
Hruusuick Apjcal calls up for prept-ul
consideration one of the improvement
projects recommended to the favor of
Congress by tho Commercial Convention
which met last year at Memphis. It is
the project of a ship canal aenws the
peninsula of Florida, through which ves
sels from the Mississippi river and Gulf of
Mexico may pa.-s into the Atlantic with
out rounding the capes and keys of
Florida. This correspondent says that it
is stated by good judges that one hundred
and sixty miles cannlliug sill join the
Mississippi and St. Mary's rivers by an in
land route, so that produce could be
brought over it ut all seasons of the year.
A Faria journal reports that lioth Uus-
si a and Prussia are making extensive mil

and collecting enormous quantities of
stores. It hints that the preparations of
tho latter Power are aimed at Utiasiu.
“ White men at the North are not yet
pnpand to nupftort a negro fur the /’(•«.
idency."
Ko snys the New York Herald, a leading
supporter of Gen. Grant's administration.
Thun tho white iuou of the North do not
yet recognize the politioal equality of the
negro, as a citizen of the United States.
They arc quite willing to “enforce" the
rights of tho negro to all political honors
in the Southern States; but when it
domes to elevating hiui to rule over the
Northern people, they regard that as car
rying the joke a littlo too far.
Rut the negroes have a claim ot the
Vico Presidency on the Grant ticket, be
cause they constitute the entire Radical
party in about one-third of the States of
tho Union. In twelve States the Radi
cals would not eveu run an electoral
ticket but for tho negro vote which they
expect to carry. No |>olitical party in
this country evor yet failed to give either
the President or the Vico President to a
section and class of voters contributing
no much to the strength of the party, and
if the Kadicabi fail to do it iu ttiis in
stance, it will he for no other rouson than
that their »Southcrn allies are negroee.

We observo that many of the forest
saplings, which lost their leaves during
the late drouth, and then appeared to be
dead or dying, are now putting forth
fresh buds and leaves. This new vegeta

velopment from bud to leaf appears to bo
lunch more rapid than in the early spring.
Tho “Syndicate,” referred to in our
telegraphic dispatches, is a league of Eu
ropean capitalists, whose agents have
opened books in their chief cities for the
new o per cent. American loan. They are
reporting progress pretty briskly.
The Montgomery Adcerti*er, acknowl-
edging the courtesy of a liberal gentle
man who sent refreshments to the office,
says that he “will one day he even mare
unieentnlhf appreciated (ban he now is.”
Our cotemporary blends hi* comparative
and superlative in a manner beyond our
comprehension. The refreshments sent
were iu good psrt hyperbtrrean, but that
fact hardly justifies a hyperbole that does
so much violence to the rules ot syntax.
Tho “cyclone” (as the weather report
calls it) was very severe off and on the
coast of Georgia, on Friday and Satur
day. Houses were blown down in Navan-
nah ; others had their roofs carried away;
luauy localities were submerged ; pastures
were inundated nod cattle drowned ; and
several breaks in the railroad tracks near
the city were reported. Rain to the
depth of abuot 8 inches fell in twenty-
four hours, and the velocity of the wind
was from HX to 47 miles per hour. No
damage to shipping yet reported.
Tho Atlanta San of Monday morning
states flint it is Informed that “all the

belonging to the Htate Road office, have
been turned over to the Board of Com

Wo are indebted to Hon. Madison
Bell, Comptroller-General of Georgia, for
a pamphlet copy of his Report submitted

We believe that a synopsis of tho moat

It ia certainly a matter for congratula

a fair way to be satisfactorily settled.
TDK 8IONS OF Till; TIMES—1 UK RADICAL
GROAN IN ATLANTA PUEPAllINO TO JOIN
TUB DEMOCRAT 1C PARTY.
We are on the eve of interesting events
iu the political world. The statement has
ranks by
•puny.
the Radical party iu Georgia is almost
extiuut. There uad been lor some time u
wide-spread impression that Gov. Bullock
snd other high Radicals were exceedingly
auiious to desert the Radical ship, wheu
the Governor's letter to Scull appeared,
greatly strenglheuiug the opinion. The
course of the New Era, the Uudical elu-cl
in thin city, has undergone such a decided
cliHUge ot tone iu the punt lew mouths
llmt it has been, coiajHiraticily with us
past bourse, not much Republican, save

was uuly h pail ot a shrewd, sharp politi
cal game, the only hope of Radicalism
iu inis State depended upon one of two
coutitigeueies—nuinely, the

'A he distrust out ut which they grew was I circulated generally through the pi ess that
nujust snd unwarranted. Those who
ministered to it repreaeuled only local
aud personal feelings while neither the
Directory of tbe rood Dor Che people
along the line contemplated a change of
its original plan, otherwise than as a uiat-
ter of necessity. The sending, of a dele
gation of disoreet and influential men
from Lumpkin and Cnthbert to thin city
was an opportune movement, and we
hope will result in restoring harmony
and co-oporntinu.
It was all the time one of the plainest
propositions that tho road could not long
stop at I.mupkiu. When our progressing
direct northern and western connections
hud been completed, the liter unity of ex
tending them still farther south would
have been so apparent to the people of
tho counties below us that they would
have extended their road to Goliiinbus
with or without help from this city. Rut
it is of course right and just that each
section through winch the road is to run
should contribute to its building, and this
we believe Columbus and the country be
tween here and Lumpkin will do. Our
apathy towards .t heretofore has all the
time been of easy explanation, and need
but to have excited distrust or ill-will in
tbe minds of any frieuda of the road.
The subject is now iu tbe bonds of ju
dicious men.who can give it diapassionate
consideration.. NVhun they make their
report, we can hotter judge whether Co
lumbus requires the two distinct tracks—
one to Lumpkin and one to Alhauy ; or
whether the Lumpkin route to Albany
will be milieu ntly short and direct; or
whether the u.-c of a common track psrt
of the way will give us the beat connec
tion with both which the circumstances
will allow. Wo are glad that the question
has now assumed such a shape that it can
bo considered in all its complications and
decided in a spirit of reciprocity and con
ciliation thut will bo creditable to the
good sense anti proiuotive of the interests
of all parties concerned.
The latest repot t in rcferenco to the
narrow escape of the emiuout druggist,
II. T. ileliubold, is liis owu dispatch, in
which ho states that white lie was blowing
out one barrel of bis gnu tho oilier was
accidentally discharged, wounding him iu
tho face slightly. This is no doubt the
true report of tho affair, for Dr. llelm-
bold's sagacity and enterprise us a busi
ness man prove that ho has a well-bal
anced mind, iu which a suicidal purpose
is not apt to obtain n foothold.
The New York J/erald persists in sayitig
that IIon. A. II. Stephens and those
Southern men who appluud his course
and his views “ure evidently resolved to
resLt tho ‘new departure' to the alterna
tive of organizing a lint Southern /mrty."
Istbiatio? We do not believe thut any
such rashness is contemplated. But the
hurmouy nnd strength of the Northern
Conservatives would be promoted by its
prompt disclaimer.
The base-hall club at Montgomery, Ala.,
called “The Montgomery County Niue,
holdurs of the Alubatuu Silver Ball," are
rampant. They have challenged a very
long list of other Southern base-ball clubs
to pluy with them u game iu Montgomery
the association gronudu within the next
thirty days. Visiting clubs to be allowed
one-hull net receipts to pay expenses of
railroud and hotel fare. The list is so long
that we cannot copy tbe challenge iu full,

Columbus" comes first in order Among tho
challenged clubs named.
The reported declension by General
McCook, the Democratic nouiiueo for
Governor of Ohio, is attributable to his
serious illness, which several days siace
prostrated him and compelled him to dis
continue (he canvas*.
Tho letlor to the St. Louis Republican,
headed “ludiuti Traditions,” which we
copy in this paper, will be found interest
ing to many persons in Ibis section of
country, as it gives tbe traditionary his
tory of ludians who were removed from
Georgia and Alabama. There are perhaps
some among us who could correct tbe
writer of the letter in some of his state
ments concert, ing those Indians.
The citizens of Cuthbort hare voted
npon, and almost unanimously adopted, a
subscription of hy tbe City Coun>

priation, nor one more creditable to tbe
people of Cullihcrt, could havo been
made.
The Bsvannah 'Atfocrtitusr publishes a
special dispatch, dated Washington, Aug.
‘JIM, which states that it is believed in
New York thut II. I. Kimball has failed
ami w ill not ret urn to Georgia, and that a
number of bis Southern creditors have
gone North looking for him.
We sincerely hojie that this report will
not prove to be true, for Mr. Kimball's
failure would be a damaging tdow to
several important railroad enterprises in
Georgia. The exclusiveness of the Ad~
rertUer* report encourages tbe hope that
it is not true.
The same dispatch expresses the belief
that Governor Bullock will not return to
Georgia.

Gf.nts—We havo received your circular
with tlje schedule of premiums to he

city, ttd of October next. This is a move
ment. in the right direction on the part of
St. Louis. Nothing cun be more to her
iutciest Ilian creating mtiinato and close
connections with the great cotton belt.
You occupy tho central position of the
great producing subsistence region—a re
gion too, as well, or better adapted to
manufacture than Now England. Having
bread superabundant, always to spare,
nnd iu consequence thereof u teeming im

I lie great Northwest should not soon lead

„ (( /ITho position and productions of the

St. Louis the natural distributor of your
region to the direct South and Southwest,
and to Become the distributer to all the
southeast of otir region there is but one
thing neceiBiry to be done, viz.: the com
pletion of a railroad from the foot of the
Mu*clc shoals on the Tennessee river to
Albany, Ga. Take your map nnd you
will see at a glance by this you secure the
shortest possible line of railroud which
can bo constructed connecting you with
th»» Abnitie. From Columbus to tho
coast, both Atlantic and Gulf, wo havo a
country peculiarly adapted to cotton—
cnutiot raise grain to any advantage—and
of nil the cotton belt are more particularly
dependent upon the Northwest,
building of tb» Memphis aud Savannah
Railroad will give nil Ibis section to St.
Louis. Take a table of statistics giving
the productions and resources of this sec
tion made tributary to yon by this road,
and I think you will agree with me that it
is well worthy Hie consideration of your
city, m.d should have its speedy aid.
There are two roads completed to Albany
from the Atlantic- the S. W., to Savan
nah, the Atlantic and Gulf, to both Sa
vannah und Brunswick, and a third, the
Biunswiek and Albany, near completion.
Wo are just starting to work on a road from
hero to Albany, eighty miles distant. The
Memphis aud Savannah road, constrne.t-
ing from here to East port, foot of Muscle
shoals, is progressing slowly. It needs
help, and St. Lonia should come forwnrd
and lead in the enterprise. It completed,
w i'll a proper tonnage on the Tennessee
river, such us yon have on the Mississip
pi, or boats constructed for carrying ears,
and St. Louis will reap n benefit by this
equal to uny of her outlets.

that there is u probability of WHr between
Egypt und Turkey, and that the personal
relations of the Khedive of Egypt and
tlm Sultan of Turkey are quite Iitr from

Some tinio ago a revolt occurred at Ye

sen terminus of the Suez canal, and to
suppress it. 20,000 troops wore dispatched
there. 'The orders of the Sultan arn that
these troops remain ut Yemen, und the

August 10, 1871. j'
hihlor SI. Lorn* Jitpubltcun: Having
to stop here for a few tiuya, 1 have made
the ucquaintunce ot u veiy intelligent
citizen who is well versed in the leg* ml*
and traditions of this nation, and from
him i have gathered the lollowTUg ac
count or history of themselves.
Two thousaud aud MX bundled moons,
or two hundred years bet<<t-e they ever
saw a white man, their uiediiine uieu or
prophets told them they were to migrate
eastward uutil (bey met u white race ; lilui
they would conquer utl before them until
they uiut tho puie luces, who would beat
tbeui in battle, wild they would have to
recede before them until they won id be
euiircly surrouuded by wbuo men. iu
obt-d'.ouco lo their medicine men they
staitud eastward. They wuie then it pow
erful tribe and called lueuioclvcs Mu.-,-co-
gees, which liaiue they still retain, and
lived, us Uiey now suppose, iu Mexico.
In t Loir wanderings the first in hr they
met were the Co-war-sur-tees, who were
travelling south ; this baud divided aud a
pai l kept on south—the other part joined
and weie adopted.by this liutiou. They
next heard of a nation which spoke the
same language, used the same medicine,
uud whooped the wniwe wav-whoop, who
were known us Tuck-n-huUh-ees. That
part of thenatiouof which i have been
writing called themselves as before, Mus-
eogoes, but wore ruled by iln< Cow-u-los.
Tl.e Dow etui sought aud found the Tuck-
abutckuuH, and finding thut they w ere the
same lace, they made a league of perpet
ual I Headship und agreed to “always be
frietuis ami brothers,” und that there
should be two chiefs, one trorn the i s
undone trout the Cm; thut each chief
should be supreme iu his owu iown ; und
thut the two chiefs aud principal warriors
should meet und imtkc laws which should {
govern the whole hutiou, but not mtciferc |
with the municipal affairs ot the dilh reut
tow ns. The traditions of the i iu kabatch-
ces correspond precisely with those of tho
Gowetas.
Before proceeding further, I will say
tlml iu is Id u baud of ludiaus were loiind I
on the Bio Grande, m Mexico, by some I
of the MuscogeOH. speaking the same lull- I
gunge, nud having the hanio traditions, .
manners und customs as that, portion of i
their own nation known us Oowursaiteos- i
Muscogees, and were supposed to be tlmt. |
poniou that continued south. They then
resumed their niuvoti eastward mini they
cumu lo the Al-a-Lum-us, a tribe living (as
is supposed) hi the southern part of Ark-
unsuh, west of tho “Father of Waters,”
which tube they defeated iu a pitched
battle, uud drove from their homes. The
Muscogees took possession ol their towns
and fields, and rested lor awhile from
their luhors uud truvels; hut hunt mg that
the Aliilmiuas hud iiguiu sell led, Guilt new
towus, uud opened new fields which were
then waving with “lull, yellow corn,” tiny
followed ou, uud found them near whole
New Madrid now is, again defeated them,
drove them off and look possession, and
lived upon their spoils until, louruiug that
the Alabaman had again settle'd in and
improved the country of Southern ila-
lioise, they again followed uud despoiled
them.
The Alulmmus then thought they would
get eutiudy away from their enemies ; so
they never slopped until they icached
hut is now ttie State of Misdssippi,
where they ugnin settled. ill the course
of time the warriors and huutors of the
Muscogees found out where their old
prey hud secreted themselves, and tho
nation aguiu look up their hue of march
for Mississippi, found, defeated and again
them lroui their homes. Tlie often
defeated aud now hopeless tribe sought
the east, as they had traveled north and
south without relief, and, traveling until
(hey came to the banks of a beautiful
their chief made the now celebra
ted exclamation, ‘Al-a-buui-u, Al-u-butu-u;'
iu English : ‘Here we rest, helo wo rest.’
Accordingly they again set to work and
made themselves new homes; but their
old oueuiioH ware Dot done with them
yet, and, hearqig where they wore, they
again prepared to attack them, 'iho
Alabaman, heuiiug of their iiiteutiou,
sent messengers lo the Muscogees saying,
“Do not w hip us any more ; tell us what
you.waut us to do, uud wo will do it.’’ A
council was held, and it was resolved to
adopt the Alubamus, which was accord
ingly done but a short time before the
pale faces were met.
Thia is their trudiliou of how they come
to be east of the Mississippi, and bus
been handed down from father to son by
tbe chiefs and prophets, the father always
enjoining it upon the sou to faithfully
give it in charge to his son, and so their
history has been preserved. This was re
lated to luy informant hy Eoley McIntosh,
tho lust hereditary cbiel of tho Cow-e-tun,
as Tuc-u-bat-ohy Micco was the lust ol‘ the
beroditary chiefs ol Tuck-u-batcb-eo town.
Betweeu I8.*#. r »- (10 tlie office of chief be
came elective, and any citizen of the na
tion who is uu Indian is competent to
hold the office. '1 hey oblaiued the name
of Creek from the white man, because
their settlements were always made ou
the htreuins, they never suliliug ou the
broad prairies. Their tradition also
says that the Chickusuws were only one
day behind them in their migration, aud
that they would set up a pule iu cuuip per
fectly purpeudiculur, uud whichever way
the pole would leuu next morning they
(the Chickasaws) would follow. When
they got to tho Mississippi their pole’
would not leuu, but stood perfectly erect;
