(Jetting Ready in Time.
A committee of Philadelphians address the
President npon a mammoth centennial celebra
tion of the 4th of July, 18711, on a scale of mag
nificence and splendoT which shall ontdo crea
tion. They propose a musical festival in a col-
li.semn which shall accommodate one hnndred
thousand people and twelve thousand perform
ers. bribers no originality in the Keystone
State ? Most they be servile imitators of Boston ?
Can't they think of something new ?—a monster
balloon which shall take up half a million peo
ple higher than their exstatics ?—water-works
which shall spout up the Delaware river five
miles high ? —fire works which shall consume
ton million tons of Pennsylvania carl ion ? If
they will have music, so-called, which shall
drown out Boston, let them run ten thousand
steam caliopea—let them build an organ which
shall cover the whole of Independence Square
ten stories high and run it by a steam engine of
ten thousand horse power. Let them invite the
Finnegans and the Grand Army of the Repub
lic to encircle the city by columns of companies
and salute the birth place of American Indepen
dence with a thousand ronnds of blank cart
ridges. Let them close up the performances
by paying off the national debt and making a
general bonfire and illumination of tho bonds,
the greenbacks, tho fractional currency, the re
construction acta—the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments—the civil rights bill and negro suf
frage, and start out in 1M7G, at sun down, npon
a respectable and sensible basis for the fnture
administration of national affairs.
A Desperate and Abandoned Mon.
We print, in another place, with a view to
complete the picture of the Radical explosion in
Macon, Swayze’s rehash of his evidence against
Tomer—leaving the reader to form his own
opinion aliont its troth. It is certainly an in
different matter to ns.
„ Some score or nine negroes and whites of
Swayze’s own party coino forward and swear
that this man is so reckless and wicked that they
wonld not believe him npon his oath. Nobody
opposed to Swayze in politics, from first to last,
has had any hand in this affair, except os a fow
of them have boon dragged into it by subpeonas
to answer questions generally npon points more
or less irrelevant and nnimportant.
The Government brought the suit and both
tho prosecution and defence, in every essential
particular, is exclusively a Radical affair—not
n Democrat impeached Swayze’s veracity—and
yet this mAn represents himself as a victim to
the rottenness of society here. He Bays “it con'
not bo denied ho is surrounded by traitors, per
jurers and lawless mobbera”—when he is sim
ply surrounded by his own political associa
black and white, who swear they have no con
fidence in his personal integrity.
The “perjurers and traitors and mobbera,
by whom ho is assailed in character,” are sim
ply and Rololy his own political associates—the
loyal blacks, and the white men who engineer
them. This is a nico individual, in a very pe
culiar situation, to bo comparing himself to an
“upright and truthful man” in “a community of
thieves,” and in his shocking and maudlin blas
phemy, to illustrate his position by the fate of
the Savionr, or the estimation in which Lincoln
and Ron Bntler wonld bo held in Macon.'
Putnam's Magazine, for August, came yes
terday. The most prominent articles are—“A
Martyr to Science,” a Frencby txtracdgaraa,
by the author of “Still Life in Paris;” “Moro
Light,” an essay, by the distinguished Southern
writer, Professor Sebela de Vere,' tracing the
history of “light” from the period when the
blazing fagot'of the forest was used, down to
tho ago of magnesium anil zircoon ; “Tho I)o-
fects of Women, and How to Romody Them,”
an Englishman’s paper, on the mental and phys
ical education of females, which deserves to bo
read and carefully considered by the“girlof the
period;” and on interesting article, descriptive
of an ‘ f Ascent of tho Monto Rosa,” by J. M.
llart.
Labof. Bunches of Gains.—Mr. D. Milne,
of this county,scut us yesterday two bunches of
grapes very large and fine—the largest of which
weighed two pounds and we have hang np the
cluster as a trophy. The messenger gave these
grapes some German name which wo will not
undertake to spell. They resemble the Concord
in appearatioo and flavor.
Louisiana Rice Crop.—It is estimated that
the Louisiana Rice crop this year will be eighty-
six thousand barrels of 200 pounds each. Har
vesting will commence on the 1st of August.
The Cuban flag has five stripes, three white
and two bine, the colors alternating. At the
staff, it has a red triangle, with a white star in
tho centre. On the flag are tho words “La
Gnerra de Cuba."
The Tennessee Election.—The Radicals in
Washington admit that Stokes will bo defeated
by forty or fifty thousand majority. Radicals
in Georgia report the same. Tho election takes
place tho 5th August next.
From the Celestial Empire.—Dates from
China, by way of San Francisco, last Monday,
say another formidable rebellion is breaking ont
in the Foo Choo District, and the conspirators
number five hundred thousand. The people
were fleeing, in dread of the disturbance, to
Hong Kong, for protection.
Rains.—The late rains, we see, reached as
far northwest as Atlanta, and, we hope, were
quite general. We think before the weather
settles again all will have enough, and, may be,
a little to spare.
First Case-of Y'ellow Fever in New Or
leans.—The first case and death from yellow fe
ver this season occurred in New Orleans on
Monday last The victim was a young French
man, just from Havre. He stopped but a few
hours in Havana, and was quarantined eight
days off New Orleans.
We beg leave to express the condolence of
this community with His Excellency, the Presi
de* of the United States, upon the death of his
“favorite mare, Ada," as reported by telegraph
through the New York Press Association, and
appropriately published in this paper yerterday.
We trust the prompt'am val of the President’s
two carriage horses, Egypt and Cincinnati, at
long Branch, as reported by telegram, imme
diately before this sad catastrophe, had the
happy effect to diminish tho sense of bereave
ment.
Bnt the meeting of these intelligent creatures,
under such melancholy circumstances, was af
fecting in the extreme. We can imagine how
the sick “Ada” turned her agonized gaze to the
royal pair of coach horses, as they passed, and
apostrophized one of them in the words of the
poet: “I am dying, Egypt,—dying!” and the
affecting and emphatic “neigh” of Egypt as he
refused to credit the sorrowful tidings.
These things distress us much. And let no
man think that these domestic “creeter" belong
ings of tho President do not merit telegraph
tolls and tears. The most dignified historians
have transmitted to ns, through the dusty vista
of centuries, a minute and particular view of the
stable arrangements of Nero—Ms ivory stalls and
golden mangers, and earlier than that they tell
ns all about Alexander's horse Bucephalus—and
even the good book discourses about Balaam’s
ass and Tobit’a dog—although the latter is chal
lenged as apocryphal—and wo know the favorite
horse and came! of the prophet share, in the
minds of the devout mussnlmen, the pious rev
erence they entertain for the founder of their
religion. Don Quixote’s Rosinantc and honest
Sancho’s mule Dam pie are world renowned—
and the “man on horse-back" is now the syno-
nym for inexorable fate and manifest destiny.
Gen. Grant’s “hoss talk” is historical, although
he can hardly yet be said to have secured a sta
ble administration, and thedeath of Aida may
have even a moro unfortunate effect in that par
ticular than the loss of poor Borie. Wo trust
the Republican Conventions, throughont the
States, will take early action on this subject.
From Lowndes nuH%crrioii.
A Berrien County correspondent of tho Val
dosta South Georgia Times gives a very favora
ble account of affairs in that county. There had
been some suffering from drought, but generally
speaking crops were very good. He says a pro
fessional man reported that ho counted 291 bolls
and forms on s stalk of cotton, and believed
that he had lots of stalks that had threo hundred,
and another one, it is thought, will make between
ono thousand and fifteen hnndred bushels of rice
besides good com and cotton crops.
The weather in Lowndes had bcon' stormy,
more or less rain, thunder and wind every day.
The Times says:
As for the erdps, wo report pretty mneb the
same as last week—excellent corn crop, fine pros
pect for cotton, potatoes, cane, etc. The far
mers are hopeful and tho caterpillar has not yet
made its appearance. Some of them think tho
caterpillar will not make its appearance this
year, at all, while others are inclined to toko a
less hopeful view.
The third District meeting of tho Brunswick
District of tho M. E. Church, was to be holden
in Blackshear on tho 28th. Tho Times says:
We tako tho liberty of recommending the
good people of Blackshoar to lay in on extra
supply of chickens, eggs, hams, eto., for tho
use of the delegates. Methodist preachers are
said to have little weaknesses for those articles.
Rev. Dr. Piorce, one of tho oldest men in Is
rael, is expected. He is Sunday-school agent,
and has'the interest of Sunday-schools under his
immediate care.
The Colored I*o jmtilt ion of .Savannah
Appear to be exceedingly turbulent and vidons.
The nows papers of that city seldom pass a day
without chronicling some new exploit in (he way
of violont knavery. The Daily Advertiser of
Thursday, for example, has the following:
IIiqhwat Robbert.*—Wo learn that on Tues
day evening last, as a party of countrymen
were returning to their homes from market, they
a b—d of owe negroes, who
assaulted and robbed them. Ono of the negroes
told a member of the party that he might go to
town to take out warrants for their arrest, bnt
he couldn’t got any, as thero was “no sich tings
os warrants any moro.” About tho samo timo
tho abovo affair took place, another party of
countrymen wire stopped near I’ipemakcr's
Creek, on the Augusta road, six miles from tho
city, and robbed—ono of tho number, who re
sisted tho negroes, was severely beaten.
Negro Desperadoes.—Wo learn that two Ger
mans, while passing in tho vicinity of Reed's
Row, near the canal, on Tuesday night, were
set npon and severely beaten by colored men.
Bloated by Lightning.
Tho Columbus Enquirer of Tuesday last no
ticed the fact that about half an acre of cotton
in Mr. Holland's plantation in Lou county, was
killed outright by a stroke of lightning, and the
earth itself seems so paralyzed os to lo60 all
power of vegetation. THio samo paper of Thurs
day noticed a similar occurrence in a field be
longing to Major A. 0. Morrison, a few miles be
low Columbus, where a plot of about thirty
yards square was destroyed in tho same man
ner. - '
. - .Vegro Labor In Stewart.
A correspondent of the Columbus Enquirer
gives the first unfavorable report of negro Labor
we have noticed, for some time. He says:
I am still of the opinion that the present sys
tem of labor will ruin this once prosperous
country. Labor is fifty per cent, worse than it
was two years ago, for it has been tho best year
to work crops since the war. The rains have
been regular anil light, (with the exception of
one very heavy rain, which set ns back some,)
anil now wo. nro a little dry. anil some ore really
suffering. Notwithstanding all these favorable
things, there are more crops ruined for want of
work than I have over seen. Some are not done
chopping out yet, and will not make n bale to
ten acres; while a great many are not over the
second time with the hoes. In fact, while I am
writing, my mind is confused with the thought
that I have twenty or thirty acres not chopped
the second time. Yet it is said that I have done
well and have a good crop. There are one or
two men who work old sandy land, that hare
kept clean all the year.
Span is getting into the throes of civil war.
A fight between the authorities, and a band of
Car lists has occurred at Cindad Real.
Repeal of the Income Tax.—Forney’s Press
says several members of .Congress will introduce
bills next session to repeal the income tax.
Exemplary Crawfishino. —The House of
Lords displayed some exemplary crawfishing
night before last on the Disestablishment Bill
The Albany News comes to us much enlarged
on account of the pressure of advertisements.
The Eufanla News of the 23d says they are
having delightful showery weather.
The Rome Courier says the Superior Court
' of that county has 700 cases.
From Randolph Connty.
The Cuthbert Appeal of Thursday lias the
following:
Our community, has been greeted by a visit
from one of Gen. Terry’s officials, who came
clothed with authority to investigate eleven hor
rible murders, which the General's informant
avered had been perpetrated in peaceful old
Randolph.
The Federal Colonel was received with every
courtesy and attention, and after being enter
tained by an African pow-wow on Sunday night,
condescended to listen to the other side, and
gave audience to the whites in the Court-house
the following day.
Oum citizens volunteered every assistance in
their power to aid in ferretting out crime wher
ever it existed, and we venture the assertion
that our inquisitorial visitor, returned to head
quarters profoundly impressed with the falsity
of Radical statements.
Weather and Crops.—A large portion of this
county is now suffering for the lack of rain, and
com crope, where late, will be seriously cut off.
Cotton too is much wilted, and begins to blossom
all over, indicating the cessation of growth. A
glut of rain will cause the plant to cast much of
its fruit. The weather is now very cool, and
showers are passing about. A general rain is
much needed.
The Chinamen have pigtails and almond eyes,
and flattened faces and names studded with
Angs and Engs. But these Utile peculiarities
will not set our people against them.—C/iarhx-
ton Newt.
Well, with a little more practice with the “tit
tle peculiarities" of the African race, perhaps
we might be able to stand almond eyes and
flat fnccH.
Entire suits of fine white French flannel are
much in vogae among young gentlemen at the
seaside. They are cool and generally becoming.
As pari of (he history of (he Turner Imbrog
lio we copy .jibe following from the American
Union, Swayne’s paper, of yesterday:
Turner's OoNFEssioer.—Owing to the fact that
pertions of wry testimony on the occasion of the
Turner invMDgatiqp list Friday, was incorrect
ly reported, End that some of it was objected to
by the defendant's counsel, and that it was taken
a few words at a time, and therefore disjointed,
and in some instances contradictory, I propose
now to make an independent statement cover
ing all the facts irrespective of objections by
counsel. This I deem all tho more a duty to
myself from the fact that my testimony, as it
stands, is impeached.
- Henry M. Turner came into my office on Sun
day, the 4 th day of July, about 3 o’clock in the
afternoon, and after carefully dosing the door,'
without saying a word to me, he came toward
me and sat down on the comer of my editorial
table. He looked strangely at me, and then,
swinging his foot as his leg hung over the table,
he half smiling said: “ I want to tell you some
thing." Feeling roused at his disturbed de
meanor I asked what was the matter? “I am
mined I” said he, “rained politically, religious
ly and every other way,” and he, with a quick
movement, started up and down the room wring
ing his hands and wipinglhe profuse perspira
tion from his face. I said: * ‘Turner, you scare
me; what inthe world is the matter ?” He then
took from his pocket an envelope, and from the
envelope a paper and handed it to me. It was a
snbpcena to appear in Atlanta the next day as a
•witness in the case of the United States vs. Ma
rian Harris. After I had finished reading it, he
gave me another paper from the some envelope;
it was a letter from L. J. Gartrell and W. IL
Hulsey, of Atlanta, and contained the informa
tion that Marian Harris had been arrested, and
had made a confidential confession to them as
Attorneys, and they advised him that it would
be to his interest to seo them without delay.—
This letter was written on a half sheet of letter
paper with a printed head, and to the best of
my recollection the heading indicated tho firm
of “Gartrell & Jackson;” at all events it was
different from the names that were attached to
tho written letter which were : L. J. Gartrell
and W. H. Halsey. I may be incorrect as to
the initials of these names, but I give them as
near as I can remember. After reading tho let
ter, I asked Tomer what he had to do with it,
and he told me that ho had given Marian Har
ris the money on account of which she had been
arrested, and he suspected that tho subpoena
for his appearance in Atlanta was a blind to fa
cilitate his arrest, and wished my advice as to
what was best for him to do. He explained
that he had given her $1,800 of this spurious
money, for the reason that he feared that he
might be killed on his way from Washington to
Macon, on acoonnt of the bitter opposition that
existed to his appointment as Post-master of
Macon, and he did not wish to have this money
found npon his person, and said that he instruct
ed her to keep it for him until they got home.
Without thinking of tho extent to which I was
committing myself, I advised him that it was his
interest to know nothing about the money in
question, not even to the lawyers who professed
to have the secret. He too thonght that best, and
he left my office determined npon that conrso of
aotiaawlwiiliadMaKlarrive in Atlanta, to which
point he was to start that evening. I saw no more
of him until Tuesday the Cth. But in tho mean
time I had thought maturely on tho matter, and
fully realized the perilous position in which
Tomer had placed me, and determined that I
wonld not allow tho infamy of such a transaction
attach itself, in good faith, to myself and my
family; so, upon tho return of Mr. Turner on
Tuesday morning, I told him frankly that I
could not keep his secret, and that I meant to
divulge it to the proper authorities.
Upon this announcement Mr. Turner ap
pealed to mo in tho strongest terms—offered
me any price in his power to give, any influence
he could command politically; ho begged of me,
for God’s sake, to keep bis secret I told him I
did not dara to do it-—that I was not disposed
to do it—that I would not do it, when bo very
abruptly left my office.
That day I went to CoL Morrill's offico and
disclosed to him what Tomer had confessed, and
asked him to send a detective that I might, be
yond doubt, commit him. CoL Morrill was just
then very busy with cases of seizures of goods
upon which tho Revonno had not been paid, and
told me he conld not attend to tho matter until
Mr. Neil, tho detective, returned from Atlanta,
which would be on Friday, tho 9th.
On Wednesday, the 7th, Mr. Turner again
came to my office, and after closing tho door,
began a sort of defence of his crime by saying
that he did not give the counterfeit money in
question to Marian Harris, bnt that he laid the
package down in the car-scat on their way from
Washington to Georgia, and that sho had taken
it np from tho seat. This was offered as a tech
nical evasion, which he seemed to suppose would
defeat the law. He further stated that hm told
tho woman that it would not be safe for her to try
to pass any of this money. She examined it and
said that sho thought she could pass it easy
enough. He further stated that he suspected
that sho had been passing.it to prove to him that
she could do more with it than he gavo her
credit for. After pursuing this tine some time,
he asked if I had yet exposed him. I refused
to satisfy him on that point, but repeated
to him tho situation in which his confession
placed mo in the eyes of tho law, and told him
he had no favors to expect from me. At this
interview the matter of tho publication in tho
Augusta papers came up. I think it came up
by my asking him if he had soen tho Augusta
papers. He had not seen them. I told him
that Mr. Smith, ronto agent on tho Central
Road, had been in my office the evening before,
and had told me that he had seen an Augusta
iper, which contained an extract implicating
m in the matter for which Marian Harris had
been arrested, and, npon this information, he
at once left my office. In the afternoon of tho
samo day ho called again, and said that he bad
been to the Dailt Teleqrafii office, and that
tho editor of that paper had called his attention
to the article of which I had spoken. He thon
renewed his pleadings for silence on my part,
and hinted, as a threat, that since I had shield
ed him thus far, he conld implicate mo as an
accomplice. I pursued the aloof policy—gavo
him no satisfaction, and ho retired.
On Thursday, the sth, he visited mo again
and again renewed his pleadings, his excuses
and explanations, but tho samo routine was re
peated with immaterial variations.
On Friday Mr. Neil presented himself,and af
ter consultation with him I made affidavit to tho
facts, and as I am since informed a warrant was
issued on that day. The editorial which ap
peared in the Union on that day, headed “ Tur
ner in Irons,” was written only because of the
positive necessity to say something in defence
or explanation of tho published charges against
Turner; and matters had not sufficiently devel
oped to make a' statement of tho case without,
possibly, defeating tho ends of ’justice. That
artido, however, when closely analyzed, makes
no defence of Tomer,but what is conscienciously
due him.
For the days intervening between tho 9th and
tho 14 th—the day of his arrest—nothing of
special note transpired, only that ho visited my
office almost daily, and made it bis special busi
ness to try to bribe me to be silent
Many people attribute self-interest revenge,
malice, tho money of rebels, and every thing
else that is mean, to me, as tho motive which
actuated me in this matter. May I not have a
tittle credit for common honesty 2 . Is it not
plain that if I had been grovelling I could have
jingled rebel gold for such a service ? Mr.
Turner offered me everything he had, or ex
pected to have. When will these revileis of mine
learn that I am not to be bought ? Rogues will
learn, after a while, to give me a wide berth,
for the only use I have for them is to bring them
to justice. J. Clarke Swaxze.
Tie CettM Crap a* the Worm in
Hlddle Florida.
The Floridian, of the 20th, has the following
upon these interesting topics :
Divers and sundry rumors are in circulation
about the caterpillar having appeared in mull
numbers in various localities. This, at course,
is a bad omen, and looks as if all our hopes are
to be blasted; but it is growing rather late in
the season, and the cotton is becoming too far
advanced for the worm to be able to effect much
damage : and if the hot, scorching sun of the
past week has not effectually killed out those
few that have been seen, then they possess
much greater tenacity of life than we have heen
led to believe. If we are not mistaken, this
time last 'year the caterpillar had done great
damage to the cotton in the fields, and we 4bmV
our citizens may dispel all their fears about the
fate of the present crop. 1 ‘Black seed” cotton,
we believe, is still young enough to be damaged
by the worms, but a few more days of hot
weather will place that beyoroid their reach.
Reports from all sections of the country rep
resent the crop as in splendid condition—the
stalks healthy and vigoroura, and heavily fruit
ed ; but all hope hangs upon a precarious ten
ure—the “pleasure " of the caterpillar. Yet,
from all indications, we predict a large crop, a
good remunerative price, and general piu4jjpi£r
ty to all classes of our people. So mote it me.
Caterpillar in Southwestern Georgia.—The
Albany News of the 23d has the following:
CATERFn,uR FOR Sure.—There i.*no longer a
doubt about the appearance of this seedling of
Radicalism—the cussed things are in Dougherty,
Baker, Mitohel! and other counties, and plimteni
are beginning to look sour. All now depends on
the seasons. If we should have a wet August,
the havoc will be terrible, but if reasonably dry
and warm no very great damage need bo appre
hended. ■
Caterpillar Reported near Montoomkbt.—
The Montgomery Daily Advertiser of Tuesday
says: .
We regret to loom that the veritablo caterpil
lar has made its appearance on a plantation eight
miles from town. It will bo soma three weeks
yet before they fully develope, and then onr
planting friends will have to look ont. Tho crop
is at least two weeks later than last year. If
the worms multiply as they usually do it must
be cut very short.

OBITUARY.
Died in Americas, Ga., July 13, 1809, Fiona,
daughter of CoL W. A Maxwell.
It is needless to recount the virtues or the graces
of Flora Maxwell, for they live in tho memory of
all who knew her. Her modest mien was the out
ward sign of a lovely spirit—serving bat to enhance
the extraordinary beauty of her person. No moro
shall we hear her soft voice, or gaze lovingly into
her tender eyes—eo beautiful and bright that even
tho mists from the shadowy river of death could not
dim their lustre. We are taught that “the faithful,
after they are delivered from tho balden of the
flesh, are in joy and felicity.” Now, we have a sure
hope of her resurrection from the death of sin with
the life of righteous;” therefore, we cay, with
grateful, though saddened hearts: “Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord. Even so, saith the Spirit,
for they are free from their labors.” Amen. L.

On, Discoveries in Ohio.—The Marietta (O.)
Register chronicles new and important dis
coveries cf oil in that region:
“Within the last ten days numerous wells
have been struck at Cow Run, which promise a
yield of oil greater than ever before discovered
there. The Athey well, Kiggins well. Mount
Yemon No. 2, and Perkins No. 3, are constantly
boiling over, and at times throw oil fifty feot
high. At no time in the history of this famous
oil region has there been such excitement and
such eagerness to develop the territory. Wells
that have yielded one, two, and some five years,
qhow no signs of exhaustion, while tho new dis
coveries are largely augmenting the wealth of
the region."
