fruit Crops in Northern Georgia.
We see from the Augusta papers that the
fruit crops in that section of Georgia are in an
unpromising condition. Frosts and continuous
cold weather hare butted nearly all the young
peaches to drop, and the apple and plum trees
are said to be shedding rapidly. This may very
possibly open a lively demand in lower latitudes
for peaches for canning.

Chebbies.—We wero indebted to Mr. A.
Kreutz, yesterday, for somo fino Oihoart cher
ries, as largo and handsome as we ever saw in
any country, and, with one exception, the only
cultivated Georgia cherries ever sent to the
Teleobaph office. Some years ago, we recol
lect, Mr. Wm. B. Johnston sent ns one or two of
the same variety; bnt beyond these we have
never seen any good cherries in Georgia. They
are, in our judgment, the moet beantifol and
delicious fruit in the world. Mr. Kreutz ‘its
four trees, about five years old, which will pro
duce this year about two pounds each—enough
to show that the fruit will grow here, and grow
well; for finer cherries were never seen.
Not Ready foe Ernrarnox.—Some surprise
has been expressed, says the Cincinnati Com
mercial, that the grand through excursion trip
from Chicago to San Francisco—so counted
upon by the people of tho former city—did not
take place. The San Francisco Herald express
es it in a word, however. The failure of the
excursion, it says, is due to “the flimsy manner
in which some portions of the Union Pacific
rood have been constructed. ” The officers of
the road did not desire to have a general airing
of the line at present. All of which goes to
show that Mr. Snow, even if he was drunk,
know what he was about when he inspected tho
road.
PcrasTLVAXiA Coax. Mixees’ Stbxke.—Folly
one-half of tho thirty thousand coal miners in
the anthracite region of Pennsylvania have quit
work, and are on a strike. No formal demand
for an increase of wages nor any statement of
grievances has been made. The miners don't
seemr to have a clear idea why Jhey have aban
doned work. The miners of the large compa
nies around Scranton and Carbon dale have not
yet quit work, and the oontinnance of the strike
largely depends upon their action; in oaae of
their refusal the strike will last bnt a few days.
How Moxxt Melts Away. — The Columbus
Sau says: Since the first day of May the gold
value pf the currency and bonds of the United
States Government hava depreciated over $65,•
000,000—a sum sufficient to build two railroads
from the Atlantia to the Paciflo ocean. This
great “ margin " is what tho Wall street and
other stock operators play for. It is a big stake,
and the bulls seem to be making a “ good thing”
of It But it is a matter that only concerns tho
capitalists, at pretent. After a while it will
reach everybody, and will ba felt by an increase
in the price of Ml commodities, and perhaps by
a general “going up” of everything.
The Triple Alliance a Canard.—The triple
alliance story says a dispatch to the Couricr-
Journal, Is effectually exploded. No represen
tative of this or any other Government in Wash
ington credits tho statement, and if it has any
foundation it is believed to exist simply in a pro
position mado by Spain to Franco and England
to form an nllianoe to resist the so^salled ag
gressions of the United States toward Cuba—a
proposition that so far as is known seems not to
have been considered in London.
South Carolina Railroad and Augusta.—It
will be seen that at the suit of the City Council of
Augusta, tho South Carolina Railroad has been
enjoined from running their oars through the
streets of that city or from keeping any passen
ger depot or ticket office thereon except at a cer
tain point designated. There seems to have been
a flare-up and divorce. How will this affect
through freights from Charleston ?
A New Hall.—By referenoe to advertise
ment says the Columbus Son, it will be seen
that a nnmbcr of prominent citizens have ap
plied to Judge Worrill for the incorporation of a
company to be known as the “Public Hall As
sociation.” The object is to erect and manage’
a new Hall in this city. The capital stock is
placed at $ JO,000, divided into shares of $100.
As soon as $16,000 subscribed the company can
oommence operations.
Caterpillar in Southwestern Georgia.—
The Albany News of the 14th says: “We are
assured by planters who .know more from ex
perience than all the theorists in the world
about the caterpillar, that it has made its ap
pearance in thisjsection, and that from their-
knowledge of its origin, progress, and ravages,
the most serious apprehensions may be felt for
the safety of the present crop.”
Immigration Meettso in Alabama.—All per
sons who feel interested in the development of
the material resources of the State of Alabama
are requested to meet in convention in Mont
gomery, at the State Capitol, on the 1st day of
June next, for the purpose of organizing a State
Immigration Company. Arrangements will bo
made with the different railroads of the State to
bring delegates for half fare.
Give Us • LUt of Them.
A special dispatch to the New York Tribune,
from Atlanta, says that “a large number of Re
publicans or Radicals from all parts of Georgia,
including many members of the Legislature of
the State, are now in Atlanta, believing that
death is certain if they undertake to go to their
homes.”
We trust that some of the Atlanta papers, or
some of the Radical politicians in that city, will
furnish the public with a list of the unhappy
“ Republicans or Radicals” who are remaining
in Atlanta under stress of bodily hurt, if they
leave that city of refuge. If none of these par
ties can give a full list, perhaps they may bo
able to give us half of the “Urge number,”—
if not half, give us a few—two or three, or
ezen one—even one who has got hold of the
horns of the altar—a panting fugitive from
“rebel vengeance, and cannot let go on pain of
“ certain death-”
Wo submit to the Tribune that there being,
just now, no very pressing reason why the 1 floy-
nl people of the North" should bo stuffed with
lies, it ought to call upon its Atlanta telegraph
correspondent to modify, a little, his zeal in the
dissemination of such falsehoods.
A Short Chapter on Nat Grass.
We are concerned to learn that this pest is
spreading oil around Macon and vicinity, and
still more that it is regarded with a degree of in
difference which it docs not merit. Nut-Grass
is a fatal and incurable evil in agricultural
lands, where it has once gained full possession.
To exterminate it is a greater labor than the
lands ore worth, and to contest it in the culti
vation of crops is well-nigh hopeless. We
would not, therefore, accept a fertile farm' as a
free gift on the condition we should cultivate it,
where this grass has once obtained the mastery.
If yon find nut-grass scattered about on your
farm or in your garden, take hold of it air once
and resolutely. Dig up every stalk of it with
tho utmost care, taking every precaution to se
cure the root and then burn the nut, blado and
fibre. Now U about tho time for the first dig
ging. Go over your garden carefully with spade
or grubbing hoe and secure every blade and
fibre that you see. Do this every three or four
weeks thereafter until frost, and above all, be
careful not to disturb, with plough or spade,
the soil where this grass exists until yon have
first eradicated the blades in the manner men
tioned.
How to Adopt a Constitutional
Amendment Without a Quorum.
The Radicals in the Indiana Legislature have
cut the Gordian Knot of difficulty and passed
the fifteenth constitutional amendment, ieithout
a quorum! The Democrats have twioe resigned
in order to force tho Radicals into giving the
people of Indiana a chance to pass upon the
amendment, but tho RadicaU had no idea of
subjecting this amendment to any snch ordeal
The following dispatch explains the proceedings:
Indianapolis, May 14.—A message was re
ceived from the Governor notifying tho House
or the resignation of forty-two of the members.
Mr. Osborne (Republican) then moved to
adopt the joint resolution ratifying the constitu
tional amendment.
Mr. Coffroth (Democrat) objected, making it
a point of order that there was not a quorum
present. The Choir ruled that the question
conld not be considered. An appeal was taken
by Coffroth, but the decision of the Speaker was
sustained, and tho House passed the joint reso
lution by a vote of SI to 0—two Democrats and
one Republican present refusing to vote.
Important Decision.—From the Savannah
Republican of Sunday, we see that Judge Er-
skinc, of the U. S. Circuit Court, pronounced a
decision in the ease of Henrietta Nelson, guar
dian, etc., vs. Unsay H. Durham, David A. Va-
son, and Alphonso Hemphill Assumpsit on two
promissory notes.
This is one of a Urge number of esses involv
ing tbe question as to whether or not the sale of
slaves is a valid consideration enforceable in the
Courts of the United States.
The amount involved in these cases Is about
a quarter of a million of dollars, and (he final
decision of the Court on the principal question
U looked for with much interest The questions
decided were upon pleas in abatement to the
jurisdiction of the Court. We learn that the
jndgmont of the Court, denying jurisdiction and
dismissing tho suit U a final judgment upon which
a writ of error lies, under Section 23 of the Ju
diciary Act of 1789, to the Supreme Court of
the United States.
Georgia Before the Anti-Slavery So
ciety.
Daring the last day’s proceedings of the an
niversary of the American Anti-SUvery Society,
we find the following reference to Georgia:
Mrs. Frances R. Harper, colored, from the
South spoke about the difficulties between the
races in the Sonth, and sho would ask the Amer
ican people whether there is no hope, no means
to stop this murder? She would go out herself
and lecture, if sho could do anything and cut
her own fodder, and finally called upon the
“Hon." Mr. Tomer, colored, of Georgia, for
his views.
Mr. Tomer said that if the President could be
influenced to issue a proclamation, or to order
“hU” generals to hold the entire neighborhood
for five or ten miles responsible for the murder
of a freedman. or if Congress would famish
them arms and ammunition, then they would
protect themselves. Half a dozen members of
Congress had told him to go and procure arms
and protect themselves; bnt they would not
speak out openly in Congress.
W. P. Powell (colored), of New York, dissent
ed from tiiis. The Federaf Government has
nothing to do with the administration of muni
cipal law in the States, and it was asking too
much. In regard to lands, he said that the
homestead Uw already provides that negroes as
well os white men may settle upon the public
domain on equal terms. As to arms, he thought
they needed no physical force. The time for
fighting U over. They shonld now go to work
and earn their independence.
Tomer replied that two hundred and eighty-
nino republicans, white and black, were railed
in Georgia and no one punished, as the moral
sense of the whole State was so adverse to the
republican party that no one thinks to prosecute.
Latest IrattCska.
From the Western press dispatches we copy
the following:
Havana, May 14.—The insurgents claim a
success in the engagements near Puerto Princi
pe. A letter from a Spanish source says that
General Latoria was mortally wounded.
Senora RentnU and Ibaraz are going to Mad
rid, to induce the authorities to revoke the de
cree confiscating the property of Cuban refu
gees, fearing the enforcement of tho decree will
lead to retaliation.
Advices from Trinidad to the 8th state that
the insurgents were near that.city, and a great
panic prevailed. ■' ... ......
The crew of the schooner Galvanic have been
released and taken to Jamaica by the British
gunboat Heron.
The insurgents reappeared in the vicinity of
Santa Cruz.
It U rumored that Ralmazada had an engage
ment with the rebeU under Cespedes.
More plantations were homed around Santia
go. It is estimated that the pUntations which
have been destroyed in that jurisdiction pro
duced annually 1800hhds. sugar.
Havana, May 13, via Key West, May 14.—
Private letters have been received from rebel
sources, giving accounts of a battle between the
Spanish troops and the insurgents. It took
place on the 3d instant, at Ras Minas The Span
iards numbered 1200 and were commanded by
General Reses.
The revolutionary force was commanded by
General Queseda in person. One report says
before the fighting commenced Queseda posted
the native Cubans in front, protected by re
trenchments, and placed a force of four hundred
Dominicans and American volunteers in their
rear, with orders to fire upon them if they ran.
Thus placed between two fires, the Cabans
fonght with desperation.
The Spaniards attacked the entrenchments
three times with the bayonet. The two first as
saults were repulsed by the Cubans. Tho fight
ing was very determined and severe, and the
Cubans began to-waver, when Quesada ordered
the rear guard to the front. They advanced,
driving the Cabans into the front ranks of the
enemy. A hand-to-hand combat ensued, in
whichthe butchery washorrible. The Spaniards
finally gave way and retreated, but re good
order. Their loss was estimated at 160 killed
and 200 wounded; that of the Cabans 200 killed
and a proportionate number wounded.
The force of Quesada, after the fight, marched
to Miguel and burned the town in right of
the retreating Spaniards.
It U generally believed the revolutionary
leaders have changed their policy in tho field,
and in the future will fight instead of retreating
to tho mountains on the appearance of any con
siderable force of Government troops.
In the battle of Alta Gracia, which took place
on the 1st instant, the Cuban loss was 200 and
and the Spanish 180 killed and wounded.
The Spaniards here regard the result of these
actions as fatal to the cause of the rebellion,
but the Cabans are jubilant over them as tho
first great saocess of the war for independence.
Wonderful Discovery—A Relic of the
Mound Builders in Kentucky.
Knoxville Pretexted Herald, liA.l
We learn that a very singular relie of that
mysterious people who inhabited this continent
long before the days of the American Indians,
the marks of whose civilization are almost every
where found, and who, for the want of a better
name, are known to ns as the Mound Builders,
has recently been discovered near Cumberland
Ford, in Bell county, Ky.
The Hon. Jas. B. Palmer, of that county, and
for some thirty years county surveyor of Harlan
county, out of a part of winch Bell county was
created some two or three weeks ago, found on
a peak of the Log Mountain (which extends be
tween Cumberland Gap and Barboursville) a
large natural grotto fanned of an overhanging
rock, perfectly protected from the weather.
The peak is upon the sonth side of the Cum
berland river, and ia as high as the mountains
at Cumberland Gap. Although families have
lived within .less than a mile of this peak, no
one seems ever to have ascended the peak or
explored the grotto until the visit of Mr. Palm
er, who found within the grotto and facing to
wards the east an admirably carved statue, or
rather torso, of a full-sized man in a sitting
posture with hands by his side. Tho image was
carved from the heart of a yellow pine, and was
evidently the work of no mean sculptor. Ac
cording to oar informant, who saw it at Mr.
Parlmer’s house some ten days ego, tho contour
of the ribs and of every muscle of the body was
perfectly displayed. The face of the image is
beautifully wrought and every feature is per
fectly delineated. In the ears ware holes for
tho insertion of ornaments.
How many unnumbered years that strange
statue wrought by unknown hands had calmly
sat, greeting the rising snn each morning,
heedless of tho annihilation of those who once
asesnded the then holy mountain and prostrat
ed themselves before it in adoration, careless
of the strangers who roamed the lands where
its servants onee ruled, our imagination is pow
erless to telL Only the wind that whistled
through tho grotto wherein it stood, (the rain
conld not reach it,) had worn away the outer
ride for an inch or more, and from this some
idea may be gained of tho duration of its weary
vigil there on the mountain alone.
The wood from which it was hewn, and from
the quantity of pitch it contains, when protected
from the weather as it was here, is as indes
tructible as stone, and this same image may have
been, and probably was, carved and set up as an
object of worship, long before the Indians roved
the woods, and even anterior to the Christian
ere.
It is probable that this discovery may, in the
hands of expert archaeologists throw more light
upon the mysterious history of tho Mound
Builders. Tho description of the attitude of
the imago reminded us of that of some of the
Hindoo deities.
Our informant stated that Mr. Palmer had re
moved the statue to his house, but he said that
it washiaown intention to have him replace it
for the purpose of photographing it in its origi
nal position, after which it should be sent to the
Smithsonian Institute at Washington, with
copy of the photograph.
Women’s Rights.
The Tribune of Friday poors a broad side in
to the Women’s Suffrage Movement The ty
rannical and turbulent course of the strong-
minded leaders of the Convention has soured
tiie Tribune. He says :
Tho kind of despotism which lies before ns
when woman gets all she asks for was pretty
plainly foreshadowed the other night at the
meeting of the Equal Rights Association. Miss
Susan 15. Anthony interrupted the Rev. Stephen
Foster, by declaring of one of his statements,

The card from two expelled members of the
Georgia Legislature, printed elsewhere, easts
some light upon the assassinations in their
State. Without accepting either their theory
as to the cause of these murders, or the dis

THE GEORGIA ASSASSINATIONS.
To the Editor of the Tribune: We were well
acquainted with the Honorable Joseph Adkins,
State Senator of Georgia, who was murdered
the other day in Warren county, and were with
him in the Constitutional Convention, and the
Legislature of Georgia, until we were outrage
ously expelled from our seats. Mr. Adkins was
near 70 years of age, and possessed a moral
and religions character which defied the tongue
of defamation. He was also a strict member of
the Baptist Church, and beloved by every hon
est man who knew him: a man of sterling in
tegrity, and consistent with his profession.
While we know nothing more concerning his
death than what has been telegraphed through
the country, we are confident that so much of
the rumor circulated by the Associated Press
dispatches as ascribes the deed to a difficulty
about a woman is a base and unmitigated false
hood. The same was charged upon the Hon.
G. W. Ashburne, and good old Dr. Ayer, the
former over 60, and the latter over 70 years of
age, who were murdered in the same way.
Rape is invariably charged upon every colored
man who is shot or hnng for his politics. Bnt
the truth is these men have all been brutally
slaughtered because they dared to be Republi
cans, and possessed snch an amount of integri
ty that they defied both bribes and threats. Had
they treachously deserted their constituents, as
other men have done in Georgia, they would be
living to-day.
Mr. Adkins, with ourselves and other Repub
licans, was in Washington at the first session of
Congress; .we explained our condition, and
urged the necessity of some legislation, that
wonid either protect ns, or enable ns to protect
ourselves. But notwithstanding the earnest en
treaties of our Governor, with that of Republi
can Legislators of the State, tho petition of the
ejected colored members, and memorial of the
State Convention; Congress adjourned and went
to their homes, and thus hare given their moral
influence in favor of the assassination of the
men who have done overything they conld to
obey and sustain their laws. God trail send ns
deliverance at some time. In Him we trust

New York, May 13, 1869.
Cold Weather and Gloom.—The Columbus
Son of Saturday got the dumps and thus spoke:
Yesterday was as unseasonable a day as the
most devout wisher for small cotton crops conld
desire. It was like the chilling days of early
fall, when people begin to talk of winter, and
feel frost in their bones. The air was too cold
to bo comfortable in an open room without fire,
and standing about the street oorners was not
much indulged in by those who could find warm
places. We know but little about the capacity
of Joans’cotioi to aproad itself like a “green
bay tree” iroany sort of weather, bat it is a
vastly hardier plant than we have ever supposed
it to be, if it conld grow yesterday. Wo saw
several friends from the country, who reported
it to be in a sickly condition; mnch of it is dy
ing, and none of it is thriving. Com stands it
better, but thst is suffering. The city was doll
Trade very light in every branch of business.
Money scarce, and commanding high rates of
interest on Imnii,
Tbe Cabinet.—Tho Cincinnati Commercial
(Republican) says:
Poor Borie is abased because he ia no politi
cian ; Hoar (he is Attorney General) is abused
because he is not a representative Republican;
Fish ditto. Bontwoll is a representative of the
party, bnt too honest to be shrewd—this is the
way the people talk who como to Washington.
Cox in shrewd enough, but hasn't enough party
Manciple. As for Creswell, they think he, too,
s too tricky, but they all admire his decision of
character. Rawlins was a Democrat too long,
and does not understand politics, nor the little
strategic moves which bring success. Taking
public opinion as we find it in Washington, it is
safe to say that tho Cabinet, after giving it a
two months’ trial, is not a success.

Sensible Advice from a Reliable
Source.
The New York Journal of Commerce is show
ing the immigrant and enterprising man of cap
ital how mnch better they can do Sonth than at
the West. Notwithstanding the wicked allega
tions of the Radical journals, lifo is as secure
there as anywhere.
The general condition of the Sonth is as
lacefnl, orderly, and virtuous as that of any
part of the United States, not excepting Massa
chusetts, and an emigrant going down there
with money, a willingness to work, and a dis
position to mind his own business, may find and
occupy spots as near like Paradise as anywhere
on this globe.
By looking around enough and not being in a
hurry to buy lands, the purchaser can almost
make his own terms in some parts of the Sonth.
As a Southern gentleman remarked at a public
meeting in this city the othernight, in speaking
of Virginia: “A farm of three or four hundred
acres can be purchased there for what it costs to
go with a family to the Northwest or the Paci
fic.” That is the very point for 'emigrants to
bear in mind now. For the hundreds of dollars
which they most pay to place themselves and
households in some wilderness or swamp or
bramble on the extreme limits of civilization,
thev can.be put in possession of improved farms
in the South.
A decent book of historical reminiscence of
the House of Commons narrates the laughable
failure of one member who rose fully primed
for a first attempt. He said: “ Mr. Speaker, I
am astonished—, sir, I am astonished—
am astonished,” and then his astonishment
overcame him and he sat down, never to rise in
Parliament again.
The sleeping man at the Bicure Hospital,
Paris, who has not waked for seven months,
aroused the other day, swallowed a little choco
late, broth, and wine, and then died.
‘That is false! ” and nobody Btopped her. Bnt
when Mr. Foster ventured a mild reply, to the
effect that “he would be glad to believe Miss
Anthony, but her statement was not reliable,”
he was sharply polled up by the presiding offi
cer, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who declared, in
broad, general terms, “when any man comes on
to this platform and says that a woman does
not speak the truth, he is oat of order.” This
was hard, bnt Dr- Elizabeth Blackwell rubbed
salt into the wound by saying : “I want to call
yonr attention to the fact that these scenes on
this platform never originate with the women!”
—which was woman-like all over. Poor Foster!
He had better keep away from there.
Prophecy and Fact.
Daring the latter part of the Presidential
campaign, we were told that the election of
Grant would settle all our financial troubles and
place business and industry upon solid ground.
One of the very first results, all the Radical or
gans and politicians assured us, was to be the
approximation of greenbacks to par. To doubt
this was branded as self-stultification. And,
when Grant's success was announced, although
the predicted result did not come at once, we
were pointed to a hundred assumed indications
that it was coming. Well, we waited more than
six months after the election and more than
two months after the inauguration, and, in the
midst of ridiculous and mocking Radical shouts
that the extinction of the public debt was in
progress, gold went up from 131 to 139. Times
