The Democratic Mass Meeting at Conyers
Last Saturday.
The large and enthusiastic lnei-Hngof the cltixens
of Newton and adjoining counties, held In Conyers
was a most harmonious one. The good citi

to hear the distinguished orators of the day. The
meeting was organized by the election of the lion.
John J. Floyd, President. Mr. John A. Bruce, iate
President of a Grant Club in Conyers, appeared on
the speakers’ stand first, openly renounced his con

of Seymour and Blair. Judge Reese next followed
In one of his characteristically sound, logical argu
incuts, that was unanswerable. At the conclusion
of this speech, all were invited to participate in the
enjoyment of some hundred or more well filled
baskets of good things prepared by the ladies for the
occasion. After dinner, Col. Howard made a very
brilliant and effective speech—which was well re
ceivcd. Rain coming on, Judge Reynolds, who fol
lowed Col. Howard, was forced to discontinue —the
elegant arbor being only for protection from the

The N euro* s Simile.—An old negro named
Pete was very much troubled about bis sins.
Perceiving him one day with a very downcast
look, his master asked him the cause. “Oh’
luassiv. I'm sich a great sinner !” “lint, Pete,”
said his master, “you are foolish to take it
so much to heart. You never see me troubled
about my sins.” “1 know de reason inassa,”
said Pete; “when you go out duek-shoating
and kill one and wound another, don't you
run after the wounded duck ?” “Yes, Pete;”
aiffl the piaster wondered vvliat was coming
next. “\\ ell. laaasa, that is the wav will you
and meg de ilebil has got you sure ; but as lie

Drive Wells.
, This mode of pn curing water was ilisooveife 1
j in Indiana. It is causing quite a revolution in
well digging. Wo see by our exchanges, they
j arc being extensively adopted iti Indianm
I Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and in parts
1 ol'e Alabama. A number lmvo been put in
' operation in Selma, Alabama, whnro flowing
j Artesian wells are in use, and the press of that
j city represent that tho people arc delighted
I with them.
Messrs. Wooten & Beattie, of this city, have
purybaM'd the ri :hr to sink these wells in a
portion of Georgia, and uro prepared to sell
rights fur other counties, and sink wells in
this city and county. They sur.k one in tbe
early part of last week, in front of tho slope of
Hall, Moses & Cos., on Broad street, forty-five
feet in depth, temporarily, to exhibit its qnali
ities to the public. It threw out a fine, large
volume, and was sufficiently pumped to test
the iffexhaiistildeness of the b'dy of water
below when approached in this «nv. A hose
some thirty foot long, was attached to tbe spoilt
of the pump, and with tbe aid of two men at
the pump, water was thrown on the top of a
two story building, thus evidencing its value
in case of fire in a building on the premises,
in either putting out or holding the fire in
check until other assistance can be had. Also
its value in sprinkling streets, yards or gardens
in dry weather.
o’. Saturday evening last, ia tho space of
one hour anil forty-five minutes, one was put
down on the premises occupied by Air, Thomas
DeWolf, to the depth of twenty-six feet, and
an abundant supply of water obtained. Hun
dreds of gallons have been pumped out—yes.
we might say thousands—with Hit any apparent
diminution of the quantity below, ami tlio
water continuing cleat- as crystal. The water
is free from artificial substances so common to
the wells of the city, and is as pure and well
tasted as is found in any portion of the sur
rounding country. When compared with that
of the dug well on the same premises, the
taste differs as .wide as if the two sources were
miles apart.
The cost of this well is $l5O per foot. It
consists of ir«jn ipe perforated near tho lower
end with small holes to admit the water into
the pipe, on the end of which is fastened a
pointed irond iye, a little-larger than the piipe.
This [iipo is driven down until water is reached
when the “sucker” is put on and the well is
ready for operating. At first, mud and sand
is drawn up with the Water until a sufficient
vacuum is opened below. The water then
clears and continues to lluv clear as crystal.
Wliero rock does not intervene to obstruct
the progress of the drive, one of tiicse wells
can be sunk to the ordinary depth of wells in
this city—say twenty-five to forty-five feet—in
from two to four hours. Their advantage over
the dug well is, that they are not afi'ected by
rains or slop water, and no bad substances get
into them —tbey are exempt fi-um ihe funky
tastes acquired lrom wood or brick curbs.
Tho water is pure.
A snow fall in sunshine is like a maiden
shedding tears in laughter. Both are pretty
scenes and not very wet.
Mr. Buchanan aud Thai! Stevens, though
living in the same town so long together, never
spoke when tliey met in the street. Nevorthe

“Thaddens Stevens ha a good bead and a
good hoart, and if it bail not pleased Provi
dence to omit the moral part of his nature he
would have been a great man,"
Thk Pim.onOase.—The ease of Chief of Po
lice, Dillon, charged with killing Cornelius
Bed, was concluded yesterday m riling, by
bis commitment for trial on the charge of mnn

of three thousand dollars.— Aug. Con.
Our agricultural reports bring us informa
tion that the apple crop is a failure in nearly
all the States. This comes of Butler's insane
prophecy that “Ben M ade and the apple blos
soms will come in together.” The delicate
apple blossoms wilted at the bare idea of such
contaminating company and have never since
recovered.— World.
A Bn u -Juki:.—The Sheriff and one consta
ble of St. Lawrence county were at a circus at
Gouvcrucur recently. The ticket Seller an
nounced that persons must approach the ticket
office singly, and not in crowds, to avoid the
depredations of the numerous pick pockets
who had followed the circus all summer. The
Sheriff and constable aforesaid took up the
cry, and-in stentorian voices continued to re
peat “Beware of pick pockets.” The light
fingered gentry retaliated by relieving the
SherifFs (wicket of s7s and the constable's of
about 840, w hile they were engaged in w arn
ing the people against the very disasters to
which they became victims.
M e find the following item in an English
ult., paper :
“The overseers of Salford have placed
twelve hundred and eight women on the reg
ister of electors for that borough. Above five
thousand women ratepayers have sent in
claims to vote for the city of Manchester. At
Alton, in Staffordshire, the overseers have-put
names of the female ratepayers as claimants
of votes on the* church door.”

On Saturday evening last two men went out
turkey hunting, in Sullivan county, Ind., near
Shelbourne, neither knowing the other was
out. Olio commenced calling for turkeys', and
the other hearing him, and supposing that it
was a real turkey, also commenced calling.—
It being in the dusk of the evening, he saw
something through the bush which he supposed
| was a turkey. Ho took fair aim and fired,
i Upon approaching the spot he discovered that,
he had shot Daniel Bush fair through the

cmZEMS OF NEWTON COUNTY.
AL. DAVIDSON has recently published a
• notice, claiming to be the Sole Agent for
a number of counties, (including Newton,) for
the sale by subscription, of a work titled, “The
Late War Between the States,” by lion. A. H
Stephens. He dates his Commission, June 6th.
I hold a Commission from the Publishers, for
Newton County, dated May 29th. I had a con
versation with Mr Davidson, and then wrote to
know if my commission had been withdrawn.—
The reply of the Publishers was that Newton
was assigned to Davidson thorugli mistake, that
1 was still the Sole Agent for Newton, and Da
vidson would be recalled. Besides Davidson
agreed to relinquish the County voluntarily to
me through my request.
i am also sole Agent for Jasper and Putnam
counties. Those desiring the Work, please give
me their names. U. D. HARDWICK.

ized agent, for the sale of the “LATE WAR
BETWEEN THE STATES," by Hon. A. H.
Stephens, I reqqpst nil concerned to examine the
written authority which sustains my claim.
