Death of <Jeo.T. Rogers. .
We arc pained to learn that Geo. T. Rogers,
Esq., one of the oldest and most widely known
business men of Macon, died at his residence in
this city yesterday afternoon, Of inflammation
of the bowels. Mr. Rogers was one of onr best
citizens, and bnt a few days ago apparently in
robust health. His sickness must have been
brief, and the suddenness of the summons hence,
warns us all of tho uncertainty of life and the
transitory nature of all earthly ties and interests.
The Memphis China Convention.
After some unimportant business on Tuesday
the committee reported the following order of
business:
1. The committee shall consider the most
practicable means of introducing labor from
China or India, as a population best suited to
our climate, on which J. W. Clapp was appoint
ed chairman. After the appointment of the
Committees on Transportation, Finance and
Immigration, a telegram was received from
St. Louis, saying that Koopmanschap would be
hero tomorrow; The convention adjourned un
til 10 o'clock to-morrow. '.*>. '
The meeting was very large, and represents
the capital of the northwest. Delegates aTe con
tinually am ving.
Larch Hale or Lauds—Bzloiah Imjiioka-
* now.—Wo are informed, says the Rome Courier
of the lf.th, that Capt E. G. Barney, agent of
the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, has sold,
conditionally, 20,000 acres of land, belonging
to the railroad, and lying In Calhoun county,
Alabama, to a company consisting of one hun
dred and sixty families of Belgians. This bar
gain was mode a few days since, and tho agent
of these immigrants will leave for Belgium in a
short time, in order to have the trade confirmed,
and accompany the colony to their new homes.
This is a move in the right direction. Wo
would like to seo all the unoccupied lands of
our section settled "by thrifty farmers, indus
trious and frugal, like the Belgians.
Axomza Negro Posthaste*.—Tho Columbus
Hnn is informed that one Aaron Jones, jr„ a
negro of most outrageous character *nd antece-
\ dents, has been appointed postmaster at Box
.Springs, Go., on the Muscogee Railroad, at tho
recommendation of Postmaster Hogan, of Col
umbus. Box Springs is a post station in a sec
tion of country inhabited by a very intelligent
and patriotic population.
Bonn Worm r.v 51racoons. —Gentlemen tell ua,
says the Columbus Sun and Times of Wednes
day, that tho boll worm has appeared m locali
ties in this county, eight or ten miles from the
city, in small numbers. Several have been
found that had punctured tho tiny bolls and
caused the squares to break open- Only a few
haye been noticed. It fa very early for these
destructive pests to commence operations.
• Tksressee Wheat Crop.—The Knoxville Whig
nays there aro one hundred and thirty thousand
more acres, under wheat in Tennessee this year
than last.
Tho name paper says tho mercury was 95 in
the shade last Sunday and it was a degree warm
er last Monday.
Norway Oat*.—The Knoxville Whig says Dr.
Harris' crop of Norway Oats will avenge a hnn-
dren bushels to the acre.
Sharp—Vest.—The St Louis Democrat (red
hot Radical) argues that the Virginia colored
members of Congress can't come in, becanse
the Constitution of the United States requires
that Representatives in Congress shall have
been citizens of tho United States seven years,
whereas citizenship was conferred on the ne
groes by tha 14th amendment ontbo'Jlst of
July, 1868—that being the date when Congress
declared the amendment adopted.. Thus wo see
how “sharp, quick anddeciaivo,”the Radicals
can l>e in dodging negro legislators for them
selves. ^
Tho London Athenaeum reports a discovery
of “lost letters" of singular interest—the sup
pressed correspondence of Charles the First
with his friends on tho eve of the battle of
Naaeby. The House of Commons printed at tho
timqihirty-nino letters, under the name of the
"King's Cabinet Opened.” But it has been al
ways known that, for reasons of State, a good
many of the King’s letters were kept back.
These suppressed letters aTe the papers recently
found.
Bowdes Coixxgiats Institute. — Carroll
county, Georgia, has the reputation of being
ono of the best as well as tho cheapest schools
in the State. It is located in a very pretty re
gion—it has a fine board of instruction, and its
terms are fully set forth in tho advertisement in
"this edition of the Telegraph.
The Rice Crop.—The rice along tho line of
the Savannah Railroad is very much in need of
rain. It fa stated, says tho Charleston News,
that the Coosawatchie and Combahee rivers are
very low, so much "Bo that a man can wade
across either of them, without getting wet
above the knees.
Pennsylvania.—It seems that the press was
mis-informed in regard to the willingness of Gen.
Hancock to accept the nomination of Governor
of Pennsylvania. He refused to become a can
didate, and Judge Asa Packer has in conse
quence been nominated.
A Load op Debt.—The national debt on the
first day of last June was two thousand five hun
dred and five millions four hundred and twelve
thousand six hundred and thirteen dollars, $2,-
£58,412,613. The Statedebts aggregate$329,
584,446,03. The oounty and city debts we have
no means of knowing.
The Boll Worm.—The Opelika Recorder
says Mr. Coke Tucker, of Lee county, exhibited
to the editor, several specimens of young cotton
bolls, squares and blooms, which show that the
notion boll worm fa committing considerable
depredation in that section.
Ip oc* friend of the Constitutionalist will state
more explicitly what he would be at, it would
afford us great pleasure to come to an explana
lion with him
Gen. Forrest has returned to Memphis from
New York, where he succeeded in negotiating
loan to build the Memphis and Selma Railroad,
from Selma, Alabama, to Columbus, Mississippi.
The Collapse in the Macon Font-office.
The wretched collapse of the Turner appoint
ment, in Macon, may make the administration
a little more careful how they sport hereafter
with the public interests to carry out their ne
gro theories and experiments ; but it is at least
questionable whether the knowledge and ex
perience gained in this way are worth the dam
age they will sustain in the estimation of even
the more discreet Radicals. To have been so
wretchedly betrayed and exposed to ridicule by
its great negro protege is at least mortifying
enough to the administration.
The strife over that appointment—the remon
strances of tho whites—the motive with which
it was pressed—as a punishment of the people
—have positively directed a greater degree of
attention to it than to almost any other Execu
tive appointment in the service. It has been
the theme of discussion and remark by the whole
American press—applauded by the ultra-Badi-
cals—deprecated by the moderate—eagerly
pressed and earnestly opposed—held in sus
pense for a fortnight and finally made, as is un
derstood, under the strong resistance of Sumner
and Butler, and held by all the whites in Geor
gia in everlasting remembrance as a particular
mark of affectionate consideration from their
brethren in the Bay State.
Sorely, if we had malice in our composition,so
ridiculous and disgraceful a denouemont of this
business would fully satisfy it; but there fa no
particular satisfaction in finding one’s judgment
vindicated at tho cost of the public order and
convenience. We should have much preferred
common sense rule of making appointments,
and a management of the post office satisfacto
ry to the people. The administration of ^fen.
Grant may think itself strong enough to carry out
their wild and reckless experiments in the exer
cise of the appointing power, bnt tho people,are,
after all, thereal'anfferera. ,- w
We beg leave to represent in behalf of Macon
and vicinity that we have been put under suffi
cient penance! Even Sumner and Butler ought
to be satisfied with having forced us to confide
our correspondence and remittances not only to
parcel of ignorant negroes, bnt also to a man
they have been compelled to arrest for whole
sale felony. Wo submit that ought to satisfy
Sumner, Butler and Massachusetts, and they
ought to allow President Grant, in bis next
appointment, to accept the services of some
person of respectable position and character.
We believe the administration could secure such
representative in the Macon post office, if it
were willing to make the effort, and it may rest
assured that nono other will be able to do it any
good official or party service.
It fa a mistaken idea that it will better con
trol negroes and vagabonds in tho interests of
the party, by appointing men of that stamp to
office. They will not respect the Administra
tion so much for stooping to a policy which they
know fa wrong and degrading. It fa the nature
of such people to respect those who respect
themselves, and when a man who should bo a
gentleman lets himself down, voluntarily, upon
an equality with themselves, they only distrust
and despise him.
Wo will tell Grant, for a shilling, how to
build up a Republican Party in Georgia, and
then forgive him tho debt: First' of all, be a
gentleman, in the true sense of tho word, and
respect to official appointments of the United
States so much as to fill them with none but
gentlemen. Lot the Government, in every com
munication with the people, find an organ and
expression through men of high tone—of spot
less character, and pure and patriotic purposes.
The roughest man in Georgia, black or white,
will recognize and respect such a man.
Next, see that nothing fa done or proposed by
the government in tho South which is not liberal,
just, constitutional and suggested by a primary
regard for tho dignity of the United States gov
ernment and the welfare of the people.
If Gen. Grant and the cabinet will take this
plain recipe and act upon it, they can build up a
party in Georgia; but if they choose to take in
lien of it the counsels of Butler and Sumner,and
try to work out tho problem through an official
organism and policy which they consider on a
piano with the minds they seek to control, they
will mako a desperate failure of the business,
and no violence or tyranny win bring them any
compensation for the failure.
I There fa that in the minds of the Southern
masses which fa attracted by official virtue, dig
nity, integrity and patriotism, and repelled by
knavery and meanness. Even the negroes will
not bo won by negro appointments. No matter
how much you prate about equality to them,
they know they aro not fit for these offices; but
if Gen. Grant has, as his representative in each
one of them, a high-toned gentleman, who will
exercise a tender and equal regard for the
rights of all the people, the lowest of them will
honor Grant and the Government far more than
if they find these positions filled with men like
themselves. This fa a truth, which every South
ern man will join ns in attesting, and which
Grant's administration will discover with a lit
tle more experience. Nothing was ever more
ill-abused than these negro appointments, even
if the object of them be no better than to build
up a negro party. •
. From Talbot Connly.
Tho West Georgia Gazette, of Talbotton, has
the following:.
Crops is Southwest Georgia. — We learn
from a citizen of Talbot who has just returned
from a six months' residence in Southwest Geor
gia, that the crops in Baker, Thomas, Mitchell,
Dougherty, Decatur, Quitman, Webster, Stew
art, Sumpter, and the counties of that section
generally, were never better. Old residents say
they have not seen such crops in twenty years.
Com and cotton are doing their very best, and the
people are somewhat jubilant. So far as we
can learn, the crops of Georgia, and indeed of
the whole South, are good, and if no disaster in
tervene, we may laugh to scorn the 'plots of our
Radical enemies.
CoxhxscehxstDat.—Hon. Thos. Hardeman,
of Macon, delivered the annual address at Le
Yert last Wednesday. It was a masterly effort
—such a one as he is capable of making at any
time. We regret that we cannot, for want of
Bpace, give a synopsis of it.
The Gazette calls for the organization of a
Farmer's Club in that county. Professor T. A.
Brown has resigned the Presidency of Le Yert
Female College. Talbotion was suffering from
drought and the gardens were burned up. Per
son’s wheat and com mill, a splendid establish
ment, was in full operation. Mrs. Geo. G. Cobb,
died in Talbotton Wednesday last, much lamen
ted. The Gazette thinks Macon ought to be the
capital of Georgia, but we donbt whether she
has any ambition that way. The mercury was
93 in Talbotton on Monday—warm weather for
a oool place. A Gazette correspondent argues
that Talbotton is the highest known land in the
United States, from the fact that a bushel of
meal which in every other place weighs forty-
eight pounds, weighs only forty-six in Talbot
ton.
Virginia.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 13th, gives
the following ss tho vote of Virginia so far as
received for Governor. For Walker, 108,934
Wells, 89,171—Walker's majority, so far as
heard from, 19,753. There were five counties
to be reported. Canby writes to the New York
Times in defence of his decision that the iron
dad oath must be applied to the Virginia Leg
islature: ' ._ : '■ '•' r Of i’tfl
I -iN'nV that in your article of yesterday morn
ing on the “ Test Oath in Virginia^’ you have
overlooked the material point that the Constitu
tion proposed for that State has not been ap
proved by Congress, and that the decisions of
Gen. Grant which are cited by you were given
after tho approval of the Constitutions to which
they referred, or related in every instance to
conditions which could not exist until that ap
proval had been obtained. Upon this point
there can, I think, be no difference of opin
ion, and the decision made now is precisely the
same that I made more than a year ago, and is
entirely consistent with every, decision of Gen.
Grant that I have ever seen- I have, hereto
fore, in two districts—the second and fifth—re
commended that Congress should be asked to
dispense with or modify the test oath, and in
one of them, mainly in order to avoid the diffi
culties that exist now, I suspended the meeting
of the Legislature until after the Constitution
under which it had been elected had been ap
proved by Congress. I would take the same ac
tion in thia case if Congress had not directed
the assembling of the Virginia Legislature at a
definite time. That being the case, it must, in
my judgment, assemble under the conditions
now, and not those which may hereafter be im
posed by law. .
From IIonMton Connly.
Fort Valley, July 14, 1869. |
Editor* Telegraph : Wo have had some fine
rains in this section within tho last few days,
but they hare been very partial, and many of
our farmers are needing nun yet; crops look
well where they have had rains recently.
Onr little town is looking np, as yon would
very readily believe, if yon should count the
number of brick layers and carpenters employed
here at this time. We aro resolved to have a
bank and cotton warehouse here, and not de
pend on your big city for everything. Can't
you come down to our little town some time,
land see what we are doing ? B.
I Yes, thank you. We will take a holiday be
fore long, and go down.
From Terrell and Calhoun.
I The Dawson Journal, of tho 15th, has the
following; ’
Weather, Cbots and Health.—We hear
favorable reports from almost every section of
our country as to crops, weather and health,
bnt there are localities that need rain, and the
com crop has suffered materially in conse
quence thereof.
Upon tho whole we have reason to congratu
late our section upon their success so far. If
there fa not a good crop made, the cause will
not lie at the doors of our planters. They have
mado a good fight and the result fa there fa not,
in all this section, a corporal's guard of Gen.
Green’s forces left to tell the tale of the oft-
repeated attacks made, "our own garden ex-
Icepted."
Calhoun County.—Tho com crop of Calhoun
county fa safa: plenty will be made to do tho
county, and the prospect good for a cotton
crop. It fa thought that the corn trade of
Dawson will be slim next summer. So mote
tit lie.
The Cotton Patches.—Wishing to see the
result of some of our planters near town, in tho
cultivation of their cotton patches, we visited
ge Knott, Capt. Botaford and Mr. Keith.
I At Judge Knott's we saw two acres of cotton,
"Norman Variety,” that wo think to be the best
fruited cotton we have ever seen; his stand,
though, was not good—still we think he will
gather from one to one and a half bales of cot
ton to tho acre. His field of tho same variety
was fine, but did not compare to the two acres.
At Captain Botsford's wo saw one patch of the
Norman, and ono of the Dickson variety. The
Norman was far ahead of the Dickson, but both
patches aro very fine, «nd bid fair to to make a
m d crop. With good seasons from this time,
Captain may confidently expect to make two
[bales to every three acres.
We now codie to Uncle Johnny's who has
nine acres of the Dickson variety, which, taken
as a whole, was the best we had seen. Here
wo found the best stand, more cotton on the

Last Tuesday was the hottest day this season.

test day last year the same thermometer indica
ted 103. Mr. N.’s thermometer runs a little

We do not think the mercury has got as high
as 100 in Macon this summer. Bet those who

the heat in North Georgia fa quite as great.

From Pike, I'pson and Monroe.
The Barncsville Gazette, of the 15th, has tho
following information:
We have mado several visits through Pike,
Upson and Mooroo counties, and wore gratified
to boo the- general good prospect for a good
crop. Wo beliovo that a small space around
Barncsvillo is all that has any cause to com
plain. All the other neighborhoods have had
abundant seasons, bnt Barncsvillo has been suf
fering a week for a good rain. The clouds
look favorable, and wo hope that wo will yet
receive rain before our com prospects aro
blighted- l * '
The oldest parsons that wo have known, re
cently died in Upson county, Georgia. Mr.
John Shuttles, aged 103 years, died lGth of May.
last Mrs. Barbary Shuttles, wifo of Mr. John
Shattles, died on the
107 years.
On Saturday last there was a good deal of ex
citement in our little town. Mr. John Fincher,
a very respectable citizen, brought up his little
son for the Doctors to examine him. He ap
pears to be strangely affected—only breathes
about four times in one minute. Ho fa about
twelve years old and has been affected in this
way about three months. The little youth looks
very cheerful and was ablo to walk about the
streets of our town. Messrs. Drake and Flew-
ellen, Dr. Rogers, Dr. Hannah and Dr.
were called on to make examination; bnt they
say that they cannot account for this trouble
some breathing.
I loam that there has been a great many phy
sicians to see this youth and they all aay that
his disease fa a very great mystery. F.
The Fence Question.—A Hart county cor
respondent of the Chronicle and Sentinel writes
July 9th:
We are unanimous here upon the fence ques
tion. Our State has an area of 58,000,000
square acres, and we have only some eight or
nine millions under cultivation, and about as
much mors in old fields partially under fence,
for stock grazing. Now surely it is far better
to fence the smaller part nnder cultivation, and
let the cattle have “range" provided by nature,
which costs us nothing, and yields them good
food. I differ from your McBean correspond
ent, E. H.. and others, as to believing that tha
opposition to the “no fence” party comes from
■•laziness.'' I think it is just the other way.
It is the “no fence" party that is the lazy party.
I am sixty years old, and have cut and split ifia-
ny a vail to fence my land for cultivation, and
expect to split many more. Neither will it do
to have special acts for certain localities, for
these will bring nothing but trouble and confu
sion. One man will want hogs to run at large,
anil another that they should be penned, and
there will be different opinions about cattle and
sheep, according to interests. If the matter is
let alone, people will accommodate themselves
under the present law, and if they find it most
profitable to peu their hogs and cattle and sheep,
they will do so.
What General Grant Thinks or the Vir
ginia Elections.—A Washington letter in the
Baltimore Gazette says:
“Upon this point I have taken great pains to
ascertain the true sentiments of General Grant,
and can state that to-day he expressed high grati
fication at the result of the Virginia elections;
«nA was decided in his preferences of Sente r,
Hamilton, and Dent, over their gubernatorial
competitors in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Tex
as. As it is known that Sumner, Boutwell, and
■ their faction, are of diametrically opposite views,
I would not guarantee that his Excellency {will
“stick.'’ But I am assured by trustworthy gen
tlemen that he boa at fast taken the hit between
his teeth, and will hold on at least tpr and du
ring t.hia summer."
