TUESDAY MORNING. JUNE I, 1869.
Bibb 4'ooraly Court Hoiutc.
In reference to the suggestions of “Out
siders," in our last edition, we are requested to
say that the Court House Commissioners noti
fied the public on the 2Cth nit. that they had
appointed Messrs. L. N. Whittle, G. B. Roberts,
and J. M. Boardman, a committee specially for
the purpose of imparting information upon the
' points referred to by Outsiders, and have kept
a notice of the fact before the public ever
since. All persons desiring information as to
the size, style, and cost of the proposed struc
ture, are therefore respectfully referred to that
oommittee. •
A Twenty Acre Colton Crop.
In the June Cultivator, David Dickson sayB:
“The 3d of May I commenced the twenty acre
lot and finished the 10th of May; commenced
planting the 7th Majr; turned nnder a fine coat
of green manure; nsed 800 pounds of my com
pound per acre. It made thirty-two bales—the
last one being a bag and a half, and paid a divi
dend on $1000 per acre, after paying all ex.
penscs and improving the capital ten per cent
on what it would sell for; but as I wish to be
fair, I will state the sale of the seed increased
the nett dividends two-tliiids or more, but the
lint alone paid a nett dividend on one thousand
dollars or more per acre.
Crops—Warm Weather.
We are now having weather of the ardent
kind—warm and sultry both night and day.—
Crop accounts are getting to be more cbeerful,
"’ and we do not -doubt that there will be a great
change for the better in the course of a week.
The soil is dry and the roads very dusty. We
need rain, and hope soon to hare it. Will
planters write ns how their wheat and oats are
turning ont ? One of oar traveling correspon
dents, in Brooks, speaks of oats seven feet
high 1 That is tall. Has he been in a cane-
brake lately ?
Hoij>-Hoij>. — The Montgomery Advertiser
mentions a ‘‘frightful rumor" current at the cap
ital of Alabama, viz: that the Legislature is to
be convened at an early day. It aaja that the
excuse given for such a call ia the necessity of
amending the Tax Laws, and the discovery of s
clerical error in tbe law providing for the gen
eral election of this year. The law orders the
election “on Tuesday the 5th day of Auguat,”
but the 8d day of August, and not the 5th, will
be Tuesday this year. The Advertiser regards
the reasons for tbe eall as mere pretexts, be
cause there is no hope of a material redaction
of the-taxes being made, and the error about
the day of tbe election ia not such a one aa
would invalidate the election if held. It thinks
the real cause that suggests the call ia the fact
that tbe Legislators ore out of money and want
to make another haul on the Treasury.
Colored Posthastes at Cuthbzst. — The
’ Cuthbert Appeal says “ our colored Postmaster
ia still in a state of suspended animation, and it
is reported would be glad of the assistance of a
competent white deputy. The old incumbent,
Mr. Peacock, still remains at bis post.” Here,
we suppose, will be the block at the working of
this Kadieal-negro-postoffice enginery. What
white men will do the work nnder a negro
principal—and if white men cannot bw found,
where can negroes be obtained competent to the
business? The Savannah Republican says the
citizens cf Cuthbert will have their mail-matter
shipped at Ward's station and send a carrier
after it. We have no information or instruc
tions upon the subject
Judicial Election is Teemessez.—Returns
have been received sufficient to indicate the
election of the Conservative Judicial ticket by a
majority of 400 to 500, notwithstanding the tre
mendous frauda practiced by the carpet-bag
gers. We carry every county in the diatrict
except Montgomery county, Tennessee, and
Logan, Todd, Christian and a part of Warren io
Kentucky, from wbieh the darkies flocked id
crowds. This result, together with th^decisioD
of the Sapreme Court which enfranchises 80.-
000 of the disfranchised of this State, has made
the people jubilant and diapirifed the earpet-
baggers.
Railroad Consolidation.—The authorities of
the Columbia and Charlotte and Columbia and
Augusta railroad have agreed upon terms ol
consolidation, to be ratified or rejected by tbeii
respective stockholdem in July. Under the
terms agreed upon the stockholders of the Co
lumbia and Augnata railroad is valued at twenty-
two dollars a share, that of the Charlotte and
South Carolina railroad is valued at par, and
four and a half shares of the former are to be
received for one share of the latter.
ExPLA!<AT0xr.—In oar Sunday’s paper, refer
ring to the accident which resulted in tbe de
struction of the forms of Saturdsy's issue, w<
took occasion to say that “accidents will hsp
pen, but those resulting from heedlessness an
crimes.”' As an act of justice towards the fore
man of our pressroom we state, that the above
remarks were, not intended .as a reflection on
him, the accident alluded to having occurred iD
his absence.
B. A Wise A Co.—Mr. Wise has connected
with himself in tbe management ofc the Cherrj
. Street HouseFurniahing Establishment, Messrs.
J. W. Freeman and B. E. Grimes, young gen
tlemen well known in the public as long con
nected with that business, intelligent, polite,
popular and accommodating. Tbe Crockery
House on Mulberry Street will still be carried
on by B. A Wise.
Paid Orr. — A Washington paper says* that
twenty-threo thousand dollars in gold has been
paid to Mr. Harvey, Minister to Portugal, in fuM
of his salary, which Congress has refused for
three years because of a letter not complimen
tary to themselves. It seemsthat Mr. Fish was
opposed to repudiation, and considered the la
borer worthy of his hire.
“Joe Brown Pikes.”—The Savannah Repub
lican of Sunday says, among the.freightsby the
Tonawanda yesterday were several bandies of
the famons “Joe Brown Pikes.” They are from
- a lot of two hundred which their owner is anxi
ous to dispose of,- he having the refusal of
eight hundred more. They go to Philadelphia
to find a market
CointBiA, the capital of onx sister State, is
emphatically nnder negro supremacy. The Cor
oner and School Commissioner elected last week
are both negroes. Colombia most be a nice
place to live in!
Belcher on Trial.—The Chronicle and Sen
tinel says, that Belcher the colored Assessor of
Internal Revenue for that district is on trial for
an alleged felony—destroying government pa
lp® 13 in order to injure a person formerly in the
service of the Revenue Department.
Harvesting Wheat.—Harvesting wheat, says
the Augusta Chronicle, of Saturday, was com
menced on the wheat lands on the outskirts of
the city yesterday. • .The wheat is in fine condi
tion, well matured and there seems to be a fine
prospect for a large yield.
Resignation. — The Atlanta Intelligencer
publishes official correspondence announcing the
fiatred of the Confederate Dead.
Sunday’s press dispatch was very brief and
refered to but one subject. It was as follows:
“ Washington Cm, May 30. — Occasional
flowers thrown on Confederate graves at Arling
ton produced disturbances, which were checked
by the guards, who prevented the decoration of
the Confederate graves. This policy was forced
upon tbe authorities by ruffians, (supported by
thoughtless persons,) who gathered and tram
pled upon the flowers. This act, and the neces
sity to guard the graves, is universally deplored,
bat the vast and mixed crowd rendered the
guard necessary. Otherwise, there would have
been a row, and probably bloodshed. A heavy
storm to-day.”
The Northern people, borrowing the sugges
tion from the Southern practice, very generally
appointed last Sunday as a day for decorating
the graves of their dead soldiers. The selec
tion of Sunday for this purpose met, in some
places, with opposition, and the preceding Sat
urday or following Monday was substituted.
In Washington tbe ceremonials took place on
Saturday with the result as stated. The crowd,
observing some flowers upon tbe graves of Con
federate soldiers, raised a cry of indignation and
trampled upon the flowers and the graves of the
dead. Amidst this crowd might probably have
been a few Confederate sympathizers whose in
dignation was roused to madness at this public
indignity to the memoTy of the brave and pat
riotic dead. They rallied to oppose and pre
vent it, and the soldiers on duty aa guards, in
order to prevent a bloody conflict, threw a cor
don around the graves of the dead Confederates,
and by preventing any further decoration, re
moved all excuse and provocation for further
insult!
What spectacle was this: A populace inflamed
with such malignant and envenomed hatred of
the dead soldiers of the South, that they were
ready to fight when they saw flowers upon their
graves, and in their blind rage abandoned all
manhood to trample upon and disfigure tbe
graves of'their enemies.
But the telegram arms very particular to s*yl
that this was done “by ruffian* supported by
tbonghtless persons.” Grave yards are not gen
erally popular places with ruffians. It strikes
ns the occasion, being a purely sentimental and
patriotic one, was not such as likely to enlist
very largely tbe sympathy and personal atten
dance of professional ruffians; and if some of
that class bad been present out of curiosity they
could not probably have taken the direction of
proceedings of such a character. The immensity
of the throng would have made their efforts to
control matters powerless. They would bare
been hissed off the ground for doing a thing
of this nature if popular sentiment did not sanc
tion it.
' But, accepting the explanation and apology of
tbe telegram in this ease, it seems to us leaders
of publie opinion in the North are constantly
gnilty of utterances which would inspire to acts
of moredastard malice than the foregoing. For
example, take the following editorial in Forney's]
Philadelphia Press of tbe 27th:
“A monument upon Southern soil, to tbe mem
ory of tbe tens of thousands of brave Union sol
diers who perished by starvation in the prison
pens, has been projected. By all means let it
be bnilt, and let it be so conspicuously placed
that every living rebel, who has upon his con
science the murder of patriots, may at some pe
riod of hit life see it, and have recalled to him
the pictures of misery and death which his fiend
ish harbarity assisted to produce.
The spirit of that paragraph is as foul and
malicious as Satan. The Press must be aware
that Federal document's show a greater per oent-
ngo of mortality in Federal than in Confederate
prisons during the war—and this, with every
advantage of ample means to make their pris
oners healthy and oomfortable, which the South
were entirely destitute of. Is it in the face of
inch facts that the press dares to charge
“murder,” and proposes to seer Southern con
sciences with monuments to our “fiendish bar
barity ?” Let him build his monuments, but
the figures will still stand.
We regret much to see these manifestations
of inexorable hatred which neither time nor the
grave can mollify. We in the South feel onr-
selvea the victims to sectional oppression and
an outraged constitution. We were born to
rights of self government, of which we have
been basely plundered by a combination of
States who have extinguished our liberties in
the Mood of our people. Nevertheless, on the
days set apart for decorating the graves of
the victims, we have forgotten the animosities
of the war, and sectional strife. The graves of
the dead soldiers of both sections have received
the same floral tributes. But what a return of
such liberality is this ?
False Fucked Hay.
There has been some talk, of late, about
false-packed cotton, and truly the planter who
is gnilty of it deserves reprobation, besides be
ing “a fool for bis pains.” But ss the “Great
Northern Hay Crop" is the grand eounter-point
to the great Southern cotton crop, and both are
representative crops, we beg to ask our South
ern contemporaries how it is about false-
p icked Hay ? Upon this point our limited ob
servation and experience disclose marvels. In
respect to Eastern Hay, in a single bale bought
while ago for two hundred and seventy
pounds, there were by weight sixty-seven
pounds of wood used in baling it. A gentleman
in a lot of eight huudred‘ pounds, found abont
three hundred pounds of wood. In a Looped
hale of Hay bought a week ago, there were
three layers of dirt, hay seed, trash, etc., sev-
ral inches thick, which bad been saturated with
water and packed down solid, and constituted,
probably, forty or fifty per cent, of the weight
of the bale.
Our impression is that an honest bale of hay
is exceptional in the Macon market We think
the avenge fraud will be twenty per cent of the
weight, and we should like to hear how it is in
other towns in Georgia. Unfortunately and fool
ishly a great deal of Northern and Western hay
is sold in Macon, whereas, we should be abun
dantly supplied with domestio forage. We
Think the brethren of the North are running
false packing into the ground.
Press Dispatches.
As a sped men of the class of news that comes
to us nightly from the far off places in the
South, we give to-day a dispatch from
Atlanta, Georgia. We cannot fathom the mo
tives of a news organization that keeps in its
employ a set of irresponsible rebel scamps whose
only object is to misrepresent occurrences and
send abroad unblushing falsehoods, with
the hope of poisoning pnblie opinion and pre
venting its just judgments.
The above, from the Philadelphia Press of
the 28th ult., refers to the press dispatch
abont Swayzs’s indictment. The fairness of
the Press is illustrated by the fact that when he
gets a special dispatch from Atlanta alleging the
murder of two negroes by the “rebel Ku-Klux,"
when the negroes are alive and well, he had
not a word of complaint or contradiction. Truth
is unpardonable when it discredits Radicalism.
Falsehood, the other way, as good as wheat.
Caterpillars' nr Middle Florida. — The
Bainbridge Argus of the 29th says, there can be
no longer a reasonable doubt that the cotton-
caterpillar has made its appearance in thig sec
tion of Georgia and Florida, and that its work
of destruction has already 'commenced. We
heard on Monday that Colonel J. J. Williams,'
planting near Tallahassee, has a field of four
hundred acres, in which were not that many
stalks of cotton that were not either wholly or
partially stripped by ibis dreaded scourge.
From Wilcox County.
Wiloox Co., May 28, 1869.
Editors Telegraph: As you have resumed
your correspondence with the planters for the
ensuing season, we propose that Wilcox shall
also be represented. Although “a rose born to
blush unseen," with unassuming grace she con
tributes her share to the growth and prosperity
of the Commonwealth. She has not yet been
the recipient of a due share of the benefits ac
cruing to the offspring of noble lineage, bnt as
she is still in her youth, we trust that in maturi
ty, the vociferous neigh of the iron horse will
be no trnsual sound to her. people, and the
schoolmasters baton will have drilled for ns our
future statesmen, and heroes, while the pulpit
will be the arena around which centers our
highest hopes for fntnre good.
Spring has been wary of her charms and
seems almost to have ignored her gentle quali
ties, for she has coquetted with Boreas and
Pluvius until the young cotton droops its abash
ed head and meekly awaits the advent of the
kindlier beams of a June solstice. The hardier
com looks well and defies the cool winds so in
jurious to its meek neighbor, while the sturdy
cane waves its long leaves to the breeze and por
tends a rich yield of juice from within an im
pervious coat
Our farmers are now industriously engaged
in destroying’ the young grass, and as the season
is propitious for the work, with due diligence it
can be eradicated beyond all fear of its assum
ing a mastership; but in the uncertain future
does there not lark a deadly foe, to blast the
hopes of the poor planter ? The caterpillar,
which has already appeared in some sections of
the country, may, in a few horns, spread abroad
ruin and devastation. We have heard of more
than one planter who ia almost persuaded to re
treat from the field at the prospect, but we say
to all such—advance, attack the enemy in full
force and rout him from his position; for in the
language of a Divine writer, “ be that observe! h
the wind shall not sow, and he that regardeth
the clouds shall not reap.” “ In the morning
*ow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not
tbine hand; for thon knowest not whether shall
prosper, either this or that, or whether they
both shall be alike good.” Should tbe ravages
of this worm become general, it behooves us to
accept the scourge as a Providential punishment
•o our people for their blind persistence in the
cultivation of cotton, to the exclusion of bread-
stuffs. We sincerely trust, however, that our
good farmers may be spared this fatal dispensa
tion and reap a rich return for tbe unusual out
lay in fertilizers.
The freedmen in this county, remote from
towns, work admirably.
A distressing homicide occurred in tbe little
village of Abbeville, on the 20th inst. Both par
ties were the subjects of King Alcohol, and com
mitted a crime at which they would have revolt
ed, under the reign of reason. The poor victim,
after suffering several days, has gone to his trial
before the great tribunal of the King of Kings,
while the perpetrator ia a miserable wanderer
afid fugitive from justice.
Very Respectfully, W. A. J.
From Lowndes County.
Valdosta, May 29, 18C9.
Editors Telegraph : I find this a flourishing
village of about fifteen hundred inhabitants—
citizens generally kind, social and hospitable.
They have two of the best schools in the State
with eighty scholars each. The scholars are
sent here from four or five counties around and
some from Savannah.
The 8onth Georgia Times, edited by Major
P. C. Pendleton, I am glad to find flourishing.
Persons who, in the olden times, visited Tronp-
ville will remember Uncle Billy Smith and
Grandma, his wife. They have charge of a
railroad eating house and provide, as of old,
well for their guests.
Labor ia not so good here. Freedmen fre
quently break their contracts in this county and
leave to work on the railroads in process of
building.
On last Monday night some rascal broke into
tbe office of the A. i G. B. £. depot in seach of
nine hundred dollars known to have been re
ceived that day, but the money fortunately had
been sent away and he missed his game.

The Arlington Grave Decorations.—Our
Sunday press dispatch led us into the error that
tbe decoration of the Federal graves at Arling
ton took place on Sanday ; but we see by the
press dispatches to the Western papers that it
occurred on Saturday. The following is a spe
cial to the Louisville Courier-Journal:
Washington, May 28.—Business will be gen
erally suspended here to-morrow. Tbe Presi
dent has ordered all the departments to be closed
and the Mayor issned a proclamation this eve
ning requiring a genefal observance of the day
on the part of the local business communities.
Extensive preparations have been made to dec
orate with flowers and evergreens the forty
thonsand graves of Union soldiers. The cele
brations at Arlington will be elaborate, includ
ing an address, the singing of sacred hymns,
dirges by several bands, etc.
This was the occasion and here the scene of
the public indignity to tbe graves of the Con
federate soldiers. It was done at the Federal
capitol, and nnder circumstances which seem to
preclnde the idea that it was the work of a few
rowdies.
New York Dry Goods Market.—A correspon
dent of the Charleston^ Courier, writing from
New York, says: ‘•The dry goods market con
tinues depressed. The distributive demand and
the general complaint is that the mills are either
working without profit or at a positive loss.—
Stocks meanwhile are accumulating, and the
talk is that there will soon be a material curtail
ment of production. Many staple goods are
selling below cost. Leading prints remain at
twelve to twelve and a half cents.”
y— . o — • Hot and no Ice.—Yesterday afternoon the
resignation of CoL B. B. deGraflfenried, Execu- j mercury indicated ninety-five and the dealers
tive Secretary of Gov. Bullock. J all were out of ice. 1
The Independence Beige says it has received
information from London that the British Gov
ernment. by way of reply to Mr. Snmner's
speech, has communicated to the Washington
Cabinet, without waiting for the arrival of Mr.
Motley, that it maintains the principle of arbi
tration for all claims of the citizens of the two
countries arising ont of the late civil war. The
Independence Beige considers this an important
piece of news, and promises farther particulars
as soon as they are received.
Georgia—The dispatches to the Louisville
Courier-Journal say that the administration has
decided as to what it will do with the alleged
disturbed condition of things in Georgia. The
commanding officer of the department in which
that State is situated is tobe instructed to do all
in his power to aid in the punishing of crime.
The Bainbridge, Cnthbert A Colum
bus Railroad.
From all the information we can gather, the
prospects of an early beginning of the work on
the above named road are very flattering. Maj.
Williams, the Chief Engineer, was in our city
on Tuesday last, for the purpose of perfecting
the necessary arrangements, Ac.
We do not know the exact amount subscribed,
but learn that it'will reach $400,000 or more.—
Of this amount the corporation of Bainbridge
has subscribed $85,000. How much has been
raised by private subscription we are not at
present prepared to say, but think from $35,000
to $40,000.
We learn that it is {be intention of the ener
getic President of this Company to have the
Engineer Corps in Cuthbert on the 21st prox.
Should he be able to do so, it will bespeak an
amount of energy almost unparalleled in the
history of railroads in the South.
There is no definite line determined on as yet,
bnt we presume the route the least expensive
will be selected. A meeting of the Board of
Directors will be held in Cnthbert at an early
day.—Bainbridge Sun, 27th.
From Brooks Cenaty
Quitican, Brooks County, Ga.,\
May 28th, 1869. j
Editors Telegraph: In passing through
Dougherty, Mitchell, and Thomas counties, the
oold nights having continued to this time, cot
ton has been backward. Brooks county pro
duces oats of the best kind. A gentleman here
has twenty acres in oats that average seven feet
high. I do not know the variety. Sugarcane
promises well, and gardens are splendid. Fish
is to be hsd in any quantity here.
The South Georgia and Florida Railroad is
being pushed rapidly forward to Camilla. CoL
Hardaway, President of the road, reports the
work progressing finely, and stockholders pay
ing their installments.
Quitman is quite a large place, and one of
the prettiest villages in Georgia. There are
three churches, twenty-five business houses, an
excellent school, and a nice hotel—Mrs. McIn
tosh, proprietress. Business houses generally
are bnilt of brick. A fine court house adds to
the general appearance of the place. This
town was laid out in 1860, and now has two
thousand inhabitants; as fine, clever people as
I ever saw, and the most beautiful girls and
plenty of them. It-is very healthy here. The
women and children look splendidly. The
Quitman Banner, edited by Maj. Fildes and CoL
St. Clair, is a flourishing paper. Quitman is
destined to be quite a city. * Traveler.
