The report of Ibe commUsioncf of ag riculture for the month ending Septem ber 13, aepirales lower and middle Geor gia from tbe upper part of the state by a line tunning along tbe southerly bounda ries of Carroll, Campbell, Fulton, Dc- Kalb, Gwinnett, Jackson, Madison and Elbert counties. These counties and all to tke^north of them are cocsid ered as one division. This division is the corn section of tbc state this year. Iu errp is rated at ICS by the commis sioner to 77 for the balance of the state. The crop in tbe upper countries has picked up six points during the past month. Fulton has just held her own, being put down at an even 100, but most of tbe countries in the upper part ci the 6tate have gained. They display, in short, magnificent fields of the important food crop. Tbc differences are striking. Muscogee re ports a deficiency in corn of sixty-six per cent; Murray, a surplus of one hundred per cent—that Is, she will have as many bushels to tell as she will need for home consumption. Dougherty’s deficiency is forty per cent, which is nesriy met by Gordon’s surplus of thirty-seven per cent. IIsll and Ilaralaon offset! Burke and Bryan. The general deficiency in the state will be fully seventeen per cent, or two million bushels. That much of our entire consumption will have to be bought in other states. This is o .ving to the drought that prevailed for a long time in middle and lower Georgia. If this bad not occurred, the dream of our thoughtful agriculturists would have been reaVzed, and Georgia would have made her own corn.Tbe gamin that direction is tatiafaciory, and another year Lay see us independent as far as corn is concerned. Full cribs of corn soon bring a full iup- ply of meat, and when that result ia at tained Georgia ii on the highroad to wealth and independence. The disastrous drought of this season should not prevent t the planters of the middle and lower sec tions of the state from repeating tlieir efforts to raise their own supplies. The answeis near the close cf comiuu- oner Janes’ report arc full of interest. Nearly ail the replies indicate an in creased acreage in < ats. Saya the coin- mksioncr: “There is no crop more cer tain, or more cheaply raised in Georgia than oats town early in the fall. Tbe rust proof varieties, sown in the fall, arc positively certain to yield a remunera tive harvest. Now that the price of cot ton Is below tbe average cost of produc tion, «lf preservation demands that farmers raise ll drown supplies, since, at the present price of cotton, there will ba no money with which to buy, after paying the cost of its production In deed, tbe time has come when planteis must become farmers. The production of home supplies must be the leading object, more st-:ck must be raised, less land cultivated, less labor employed, that employed made more illicitn*, and cot ton nude a subsidiary instead of a lead- crop. There can be no prosperity until our agricultural policy is such that the cotton crop of Georgia fehall be the property of the product r, and not pledged for suppli* s advanced to make it.” O.tz member of tbe Alabama constitution al convention is 56 jeara old.

In the good old days this was the honored custom of the gen tlemen who composed the South Caroli na legislature. Atlanta is lobe the pci manent capital of Georgia. It will rc- quiie no political combination to effect that object; its natural advantages will si cure it. Not only is it a great railroad centre, but its geographical situation nukts it very attractive. The Optra home now used for a capitol is not at all suited for that purpose. I have always thought that noble public buildings tributed roueli to the advancuncutof the gnat interests of a state. They encour age elevated views of pu’ lie affairs and give t-nc and dignity to parliamentary proceedings There is a beautiful pub lic square in this city, which will, in the course of a few years, he adorned with a grand structure, such as this great com monwealth requires for its capitol.” next house of representatives will add to Mr. IMano's letter on interesting but scarcely consistent supplement. In speak ing of the Indian bureau, he says “Many of tbe important duties of .the head of the department are connected with the material and pc *uuiary interests ’of individuals.” Yes, indeed, Mr. Delano; and the public do not feci sum that you have always been on their side iu the transaction of all that business. They distrust your son John in particular. But you have stepped “ down and out,” and no more need be •lid about it until the general unearthing of next winter. He requires rest and re cuperation he *ays. All right, but don’t recuperate to that extent that you will want to vault into power again through the grace of your distinguished and con fidential friend in the White House. And then he concludes with a certificate that Mr. Grant is a patriot and a statesman— a great, a firm and a just man. Of course the president gave him a “character” in return. 11c poured on the whitewash as the people of Knox ville poured tar on their ret .ring fellow- citizen—by the buckets full. He was un justly assailed. The people of ihe*c United Stales arejn other words,villainous* They have wantonly assailed a man cf remark able integrity... Bui the president bowed him out just the same; and we will wager our best hat that be drew a long breath of relief when the old man and bia son John were no longer a drag and a burden to an administration that is handicapped with many more of the ta nc sort, llobeson should go next. The citizens of Mclntoah county, at a meeting held in Darien on the 19th, ap pointed Messrs. Aikcn,McKialev,Corker. Way and Winn delegates to the Rome transportation convention.

The twelfth legislature of Texas granted this charter and subsidy, and from this and other corrupt actions passed into Texan history, labelled “in famous,” and m such will be always known. Mr. Galudia A. Grow appeared in Tex as just as the tide turned towards democ racy, and found himself checkmated in the work of reaping this plunder for his employers by the stout opposition of the true people of the stale, who knew they were being swindled under tbe color of law, but without a form of law to sup port the infamous action of the legisla ture. The question at once became an absorbing one in Texas politics divided for a time the opinions of tbc democratic press and people. While tbe settlement was pend ing Mr. Grow took an active part in the matter, as bis position required, and in directly was the best reason for over throwing the corrupt bsrgain. For he arrogated to himself the right to dictate to the people and tbc legislature, subsi dised part es into advccattng thegigaatic steal and established himself at Austin, during the sessions of tbe legislature, at tempting by every species of duplicity, chicanery and fraud, to consummate the robbery of the treasury of Texas He fell into such odium aad such disgrace, by his shameless and outrageous disre gard of honest dealing and the principle* of right and justice, as to make it neces sary for the owners of the road to remove him and appoirt another man to the po sition. Gradually he was eased out and cow to the great relief of Texas, this “honorable” man has packed his carpet bag and returned from wheace be came. Such is the character of Grow, the chief apostle of ike Uartraaft ticket in Pennsylvania to-day! He is trying to crawl back into the wcll-fea&ered nest of lbs spoilsmen, to feast and fatten upon the plunder which they have taken. Having failed in Texas, he hopes for bitter luck at h une. But we anticipate that the friends of Pershing will co air the record of Mr. Grow as to make him as odious at home os abroad. The kitchen organ o! the administra tion, the National Republican, pro nounces all tbc republican journals of the south “simply leeches,” except the New Orleans Republican Grecmbcio New North Slate, the Valley Virginian, the Talladiga Mountain Home, and the Mis sissippi Pilot No others arc excepted from this administration bull. They‘arc condemned as being like the Alabama State Journal. Here is what it say* of the latter sheet: Ssiu Bard's name files at the muthead in bold, black type; but w hen we come to look for evidence of the doctor's abili ty as a journalist, we find it indicated by articles bearing the significant titles: )“Hogs Intended for Porkers;” “The Wheat Crop" “The Potato Rot;” “dugar as a Remedy for Wound*;” The Wheel-barrow;” “Heading up Cabbages,” and a startling announce ment that “a circus operated by Mr. R nhschild.*, is coming towards Mont- § ornery via the Western railroad.” No oubt this is verv acceptable reading mut ter to Sam Bard a readers; but the next time he comes to Washington Reeking office and boasting of his tierce support of the principles of republicanism “in a f ilace where it takes a man to be a repub- ican, sir !” we hope the powers that be will head up his cabbage and send him back to enjoy Jus dead-head tickets to 31 r. Rotbcntlds* circus. The republicans of Alabama owe it to themselves to de pose this stupendous old fraud from his assumed position as the leading republi can editor of the state, and send him back to Georgia or the lunatic asylum, where he belongs. ^ ^ The local advantages of a manufacture ' establishment are well illustrated, mjs the Cave Spring Enterprise, by the benefits which Trion factory have con ferred on Chattooga and Walker coun ties. The former reaped the largest share of these advantages, for “the fac tory furnisned a market for all her cot ton, andcozsained even more than could jc raised in the county. The prices paid were twenty-five cents in the hundred more than Rome prices for fine cotton, and then the factory furnished a market for all the wheat, much of the corn and bacon, and all the butter, chickens, eggs and vegetables offered for sole In miles aroard.” No wonder the people uf Chattooga and Walker took all the stock in one day that was offtred them towards rebuild ing the burned factory. Chattooga is, or rather will be as soon as the ne Trion is in operation, the model of what every county in Georgia should be. The northern paragraphlsts have been gradually leading up to a natural climax in staling Dr. Lovick Pierce’s age. Such items must amuic the noble old man.

The Royal Farm: at Windsor* There arc ttirec separate larics within tiie precincts of Windsor forest—the Norfolk, ths Flemish and the Prince Consort’s Sliaw farm. Most of the stock which have been winning prizes at the recent agricultural shows are kept at the first and second. Upon both of them i large amount of capital has been ex* pended, and the money libs doubtless been laid out to a good purpose, for theic farms must, to judge merely by what one s.cs, pay well. But the queen’s favorite farm is that nearest the castle and cal’cd, as already mentioned, the prince consort’s Shaw* farm, consisting of about eleven hundred acres, of which more than niue-tentlis are in pasture, nearly all in a ring fence. This is one of the nicest holdings in the kingdom, and i.«, indeed, as perfect a specimen of a grazing farm as any one could wish to see. The entrance to the homesteads ‘ from the road leading to old Windsor, about 200 yards beyond where that road crosses the Long Walk. Large shafts are now teing sunk all along this road in connection with the sewerage operations which are going on, for ‘ is intended to carry all tl sewerage of Windsor out to a farm in the parish of n l 1 Windsor, about a mile and a half distant Tbe homestead itself is a very good one; the bailiff’s house and a very pretty cottage now oc cupied by two of the ipicen’s gardeners are really model residences. The farm buildings themselves have also been erected with every regard to the purpose for which they arc needed, but it is pity that, in order to save appearances, the* cattle sheds have ruch low roofs, they had been from eighteen inches to two feet higher than they are, they would have been much more healthy, and even to this height the roofs of the buildings would uot be seen from the castle grounds. The covered pens for harbor ing sheep during the winter are open to the same objection, • ut in other respects they ate perfect. There is very little stock in the buildings at the present time, and the foot and mouth disease has been so prcval u nt on the prince con sort’s Shaw farm this summer that nothing has been shown from there. A shoit walk through tbe pastures at tbe hick of Frogmorc House takes one from the farm buildings to the royal dairy, which is itself worth a visit when per mission cau l>c had. This dairy is a per fect gem, and far surpasses anything which Marie Antoinette achieved at the Petit Trianon. The majolica and mo saic of the walls, which are studded with medaMions^of the queen, the prince con* sort aad their children, the double roof and threefold windows—the inner win dow being of stained glass—the milk-pans in while and gold, and the curious inlaid tioor, represent a large sum of money. All the butter made there is sent lo the Isle of Wight daily, acd to Scotland throe limes a week when the court is at Osborne or Balmoral, and fruit and vege tables are always dispatched at the same time. The cows which supply this dairy stand in a long range of stalls close by, and several of them also have been afflicted with the foot and mouth disease. There arc a few bulls standing in these sheds, among them being two Swiss bulls presented to*the queen, a buffalo and Valdosta, Ga., Sept 21,1875. The hour for closing the mails closed my last up rather abruptly. Those who have been following me will remember the situation as described at the cypress pond. The water was so thick with mud that we very reluctantly decided to search farther before drawing our coffee and breaking our bread.

When there were some signs of discontent among the men employed on the Osborne estate, calculations were made as to the amount received by the Windsor men in money or in kind. Though the money pay ments are only fourteen shillings a week for ordinary laborers, it is estimated that, vrbat with house rent, fuel, milk, and other advantages, their wages are equivalent to little less than £1 a week. Nor is this all, for the bailiff has a sort of savings bank fund for the men who learn to read and write, and some of them have done so well that they have as much as £20 standing to their credit —Pal! Ma i Gazette. fell to his knees, but recovered himself sufficiently to gel away in a scrub near by. We wim to the spot, aud found that he was bleeding profusely, and could certainly not go far. We com menced following the trail of blood on the bushes, and had just emerged from the scrub, about two hundred yards from the spot where he liai been shot, when Frank frantically shouted, yonder’s a rear! Yonder’s a’bear!” 1 bade him to keep less noise, and as I turned, I saw him walking slowly along with head down t apparently unconscious of our proximity. Tbe sight of this monarch of the Okete nokee sent the waitn blood thrillin' through my veins, and for the next hour 1 reilly forgot that 1 was so tired. He was traveling parallel to our course, and hence we had a broadside view of him. and if he had been a very small would have taken him lor a large black hog. I commenced advancing on him aid had gone but a few steps when be stopped and thiew up his head, knew that he saw me, acd if I stirred Mitdd be off. He was about eighty yards from me, acd I decided that J would try him at any rate at that dis tancc. 1 had been told that the spot shoot a bear was just half way bctwi the shoulder and the tl ink, that the heart lay farther back than in rno^ animals. In much less time than it could be told, these things flashed through my mind t and I threw up my gun and fired. Tbe bear drew his back into a hump, threw his moutu open in agony, and frantically dashed for the swamp, taking the exact route the deer had gone. He was a very large t ne, and he made as much noise going over the ridge, as a gang horse ‘ a gallop. “You’ve got ’em,” cxclauned Uncle Ben. “Got, thunder,” I sarcastically plied, “don’t you sec him going for the swamp as fast as his legs can cary him?” “No matter, he will never get to that swamp.” “Why?” I asked. “Dinn’tyou see him draw up into knot and gape his mouth open ?'* “Yes.” “Well, you shot him dead. You’ll hear from him directly.” The words were not more than out of his mouth, before we heard a noise the direction he had gone, resembling the agonizing bleat of a goat in the presence of the butcher’s knife. When the old general heard this, he smacked his lips and said, “Ah, boy, BEAR STEAK FOR SUPPER.” We deposited our baggage and blazed a tree so that we could find it again, and then went on in search of both the wounded deer and bear. We had the direction of the bear by the noise he made, and to be sure and not pass him, we deployed out at a distance of forty fifty feet apart, and “drove” along f him. Boone and myself were armed with our guns, and Frank with the axe. Uncle Ben had once killed a panther with his knife in a hand to hand encoun ter, and of course he was not scared of anything. All he wanted was to get in reach of him—he’d “yank ’im.” While moving on in this manner a very pietty doe galloped along, giving me a broadside at a hundred yards, but knowing that it was too far to shoot with any accuracy, I first thought that I would save my load, but a second thought in the next breath changed my mind, and in a twinkling several buckshot were lodged in her frame. She went limping off and soon disappeared. Wc did not follow her. We continued our scotch for the o’li -r wounded game until we came to a little prairie skirting along the swamp. On the edge of this was a large growth of fern waist high acd very thick. While crossing this, Frank, who was on the extreme right, shouted “yonder’s the deer,” and as he said so he started in a trot for the spot he saw the fern moving. I called to him to stop, but headstrong and heedless he kept on until he got within ten feet of the spot The bear hearing his approach, summoned strength enough to raise his head up, and not until then did Frank discover his mistake. “Heavens!” he shouted, and flew back to the rear terror stricken and completely ronlc d. I ran up and gave him another shot in the side of the head, which made him roll and scramble in the fern, until Uncle Ben came up and * ‘yank ed” him by the hind leg. This was rath er a daring prank of ihe old man’s that 1 did not relish much, for there was con siderablc vitality in the old bruin yet. Round and round they had it!

Superstition in Pennsylvania. (From the Reading Eagle.] Pottstown, Sept. 18.—You hive, no doubt, ere this heard about the bewitch- l Diener boy at Bovertown. The story „ the event of the season, and nothing else is talked about in this region. For the purpose of gelling the facts in the case, we yesterday vbited Bovertown acd interviewed the lad and his par ents. The lad said he was nearly ten vears old, and that bis name was Henry Oscar Diener. He is of stout build, reg ular features, rosy cheeks, clear, intelli gent blue eyes, and prominent forehead. He converses with ease and appeared to have had some little education. His general appearance indicated health, and no matter what produces the “spells” with which he is afflicted, no bodily ail ment was noticeable. Here is what his father, Ad&n Diener, and his mother, who formerly resided in Reading, had to say about the remarkable affair: Lost March one year ago he had the first spell, and with the exception of sev eral months last spring he had one, and sometimes two every day. While tic fit is on, his eyes become glassy, face con torted, hands cold and skin ot livid hue. He will spring over chairs, sit on their backs squirrel fashion, suspend himself by the bauds to nails iu the wall, jump out and in windows, and perform a feat which the mo3t expert show actor would uot dare to undertake—that is, of walk ing around the room on thesurbasc, the width of which is not over one inch, lie at times become furious, and the family are obliged to keep tbeir distance. He scratches and oites but docs not raise un arm to strike. lie posses around the floor on all fours like a dog or any other four footed animal. He imitates to per fection the mewing of a cat, the barkiug of a dog, the chirping of a bird, neigbing of a horse, and the bleating of a lamb While the spell is on he frequently breaks crockcryware aud upsets the furniture, but was never known to sustain any in jury to his pet son therefrom. The lit, or whatever it may be termed, lasts about a half an hour, and when it leaves him he awakes as though from a dream, seemingly mueh refreshed. He can tcli all that took place while in that state with a clearness and minutcuess most remarkable. Now the family real ly believe that the boy is bewitched, and base their arguments on the following iucidenls connected with the affair: The first day he had a spell it was brought about, they say, througu him faliiLg out with un old woman ot seventy, residing with her daughter in Engievilie, about oce mile distuat This woman ii said to be a sort of sorceress, acd from some cuuic not explained, she to jk a deep dis like to the boy.

Herald. 1 Within a few days a tcrious disease has broken out among the horses in the many public and private stables through out the city. It borders on the nature of THE FAMOUS ETIZOOTIC, which two years ago carried pff so many valuable animals. It is calculated that there are 10,000 horses suffering in some degree from colds and sore t hi oats at the present time ra New York, the symp toms being precisely those manifested when the epizootic first showed itself. The leading feature of the present attack is a constant kicking and cough ing, with sore threat and a slight running at the nostrils. Not a single car Hue in the city but has suffered from the malady in some degree. In fact, during the past two weeks many of the superintendents of public stables became considerably alarmed. Most of the private stable proprietors acknowledge that their horses are also affected. As near as can b? ascertained there arc now laid up over 2,000 suffering from the disease and uuiit lor duty. The car companies say that with but few exceptions they have worked their houses right along,but they have had to watch them very closely and sec that they were well taken care of as soon as they came iu from atrip. Strange to say, the disease seems to oe found more prevalent on the west side of the city than on the east. One of cur reporters paid a visit lo the railroad stable yesterday and gleaned the following facts: THE U1EKCKEU STREET LINE. The men in charge (Mr. Rourke, tiie superintendent of the stables being ab sent) stated that for tiie past four or five days they had noticed a continual cough on the horees, aud in one or two cases it settled on their lungs. The horses seemed to be afflicted just s;s they were when the epizootic brokeont among them two years ago. Stilt, tic v were all working, with the vxceptiou ot about twenty. The men were* cf the opinion that yesterday they were worse than upon any day pre viously.

Once the monarch of all he sur veyed,now the victim of hunter’s deadly aim! As 1 stood over his once powerful frame, now in the cold embrace of death, a supreme satisfaction enthused me, akin, aoubtiess,to that felt by Gordon Camming when he killed his first elephant in the wilds of Africa.

Night was now just setting in and we had to bestir ourselves. I strapped his fore feet together with my pistol belt, the old hag visited Chester county, and remained away until about two weeks ago. Most remarkable to state, the boy had no spells while she was gone, but on the very day of her return tuey returned also. The woman on that day w*s seen by the neighbors in front of the boy’s residence making peculiar motions with hcrarms, and drawing cir cles in the sand. Last* Thursday week Mr. Diener took his son to Reading to a witch doctor, on Ncversink street, who now has his case in hand.

Yesterday one week ago, while father and son were sitting on a settee in a down stairs room, the boy broke out, aud after squirming around tLc rocm, suddenly seemed to pick up somethiug from the floor. He closed his hand and refused to open it until he re turned to himself, when ^ it was found to contain a twenty-five cent note. He says he saw* the money flying across the fields coming from the direc tion of the witch’s house, and enter the window and drop to the floor. He fur ther says that a long red string was at tached to it, which disappeared again out of the window.

(Columbus Times.] Five hundred hands—able-bodied men—are required to make two thou sand bales ot cotton in one year. Four bales to the h .nd are more than the av erage amount produced. One hundred women and children con spin this amount of cotton into yarns iu the same time it takes five hundred hands to pro duce it. It is a principle of political economy that all values added to the raw material adds so much wealth to the section where it is bestowed. Spun cot ton is worth nearly double as much m the raw material. One hundred women and children can add as much wealth to a locality where they spin cotton into yarns, as able-bodied field hands who produce the raw cotton thus manufac tured. Now, if these conclusions arc correct acd the calculation is made for the entire cotton crop of the south, it is evident that in building numerous small manu factories we adopt the speediest way to attain prosperity and an increase of pop ulation. There is not a small factory in the state—limited to the manufacture of yarns—that has not paid handsomely since the panic of 1873. Some have netted forty per cent. Iu all parts of the state where small farms prevail, i. is becoming customary to send the cotton to a centrally located gin which gins for the neighborhood, taking toll as grist mills do. Now, suppose a factory i3 es tablished on these centrally located plan tations, to spin the cotton into yarns, and the cotton be pressed into bales of yarns and then shipped, is not self-ivi- dent that the enterprise would pay Oi course these factories will be few in number until the profit becomes generally knowo, but we believe iu the end, as men “drop out” of the un profitable pursuit of cultivating large plantations on borrowed capital, they will see that this idea is practicable and pregnant with great results. Instead of one man being the owner of thc|“cus- tom” gin house, a grange or co-operative society, will build a factory like that of Mr. Rhodes Browne, in Columbus with the addition of the necessary gins. The yarns will be shipped either to the north or to Europe and will command a more ready sale than raw cotton now does. The profits now paid to the manufactur er and the middleman will be kept at home and enrich the producer who is now so poorly paid for Its toil This is the mission of the south in the near fu ture, and it should be placed before every agricultural or grange society iu the state. It will be more profitable thou grange warehouses. —The mattimonial flog of whte satin embroidered ia the centre with orange blossoms have been run up to the mast head and, in sbert, the wedding season begins, impressive is the bishop in the chancel; charmingly plays the organist; excited and impudent is the sexton iu the shabby broadcloath; overpowering are the ushers; beautiful the bride; man ly the bridegroom; defiant the mother- in-law, radiant the bridesmaid; unruly the fashionable crowd, and greatly re- THE SIXTH AVENUE LINK. Mr. Wallace, the superintendent of the Ninth avenue stabhs, said that he first noticed the disease on the 14th inst, among his horses, and for several days had very serious doubts whether or not it was the epizootic. His horses were fearfully attacked with coughing and sore throats. He immediately gave them medicine, and applied mustard applica tions cxti rnuliy, Horn which they toned great relief. Out of over two hundred horses he had about forty or fifty at preseut suffering with the disease. About twenty hordes were in the hos pital, and Mr. Wallace w.;a attending them when our reporter called, lie said they all seemed to eat about as usual. He attributes it to tic cold weather, fiimo of them cough worse than others, and on Thursday night hist he said it was painful to be in the stable; several of the hoists coughed so heavy that it seemed as if they would burst their tides.

He believes that the present cause of the disease is io the air, and that they will all get better just so soon as the weather clears up. THE FOURTH AVENUE LINE. Very few of the horses on this line have been affected. On Friday hist quite a number of tin in coughed contin ually, hut very few of them ware uffect- ed with them yesterday. THE THIRD AVENUE LINK. Mr. George Fields, superintend!nt of tbc Third avenue line, stated he uad no ticed nothing very serious in the cough. He admitted that the horses had been somewhat troubled by a cold, but it did not worry him. He hud a cold himself, and the horses were just as lik dy to get a cold as he was. The stablemen, how ever, gave a very different story, and stated that the horses did nothing but cough ail day long. Iu fact, they had never seen anything like it before. TUE SECOND AVENUE LINK. Mr. Murphy, the superintendent of the Second avenue railroad depot, informed our reporter that he had noticed but veiy few cases. His attention was first called to the matter by Mr. McXe&l, of the Third avenue stables, but he was happy to say that nothing of a serious nature had as yet presented itself. He was in great hopes that the epizootic would not visit the poor beasts again. TUE I1ELT LINE and all the cross line car companies made about the same statement. Mr. Phillip Bodine, on Seventh ave nue, stntes that he lias had two real cases of epizootic, but both of liis horses are now much improved. Mr. E. Van Ranst, who runs the coaches at the Astor house, Earle’s hotel, and Brandrclh bouse,states that several of his horses were taken with severe coughing yesterday, and so had were they that he had to lay them up.

(Griffin News.] On last Wednesday night, as Scab Ilall, who is well known in Butts and the surrounding counties, was preparing to retire, and had just arisen for tliat purpose, the report of a gun was heard. *ind Hall found himself shot. The would- be assassin had fired through the window with both barrelr of a gun, one loaded with small shot, five of which struck Hall in the arm, and the other WITH RUCK SHOT, seventeen of which passed through the ceiling on the opposite side of the room. Movements were put on foot next morn ing to ferret out the guilty party, and, one by one, links in tbe chain of evidence •re obtained, until it was made so strong as to fasten almost positive proof upen DICK HARDY, COL , whereupon a warrant was Issued and he wus pretty soon arrested. While in charge of the officer he voluntarily con fessed to having committed the murder- 0113 assault, but claims he was incited to it by white men, who were enemies of Ball, and wanted to dispose of him in this way. We refrain! rom giving names for various reasons, but if this negroe s stoiy is tree THESE WHITE MISCREANTS, whose dupe he was, should receive ten times the punishment. Hall, we believe is a western man, and found himself at the close of war, in Batts county, where he married and has been farming since. He is a determined man, having tried and acquitted on a charge of murder some 8 years since in Jasper county, and has frequently been involved in personal rencontres, which of course, has made him many enemies, and it may be true they used this method to get rid of him Let justice be done in the premises.

The general remarked that he had made a really llyiog trip h jme, a* lie left New York on Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock and ar rived in Atlanta this (Monday) more.ing at 9 clock, the time being just forty-two hours. He came through Baltimore, Washington, Richmond and via the Air-Line railroad to Atlanta. CONDITION OF AFFAIRS NORTH. Reporter-General, how did you find businc&s affair in the north? Gen. Austell—>\ ell, sir, the condition the north is just about thli: -they have been upon the top of the house t ver »ince th»* war tnd now they are having to come down The shrinkage of values throughout New finelard and New York city has been immense.

(Greenville Vindicator.] W bile discussing tlic route for a railroad from our county, connecting Columbus with Atlanta, via Greenville, it is proper to consider the best means for obtaining tlic desired result. When wc re-llcctupon the financial distress of tlic country*, wc arc almost inclined to give up all idea of a railroad. But wc need not despair. Suppose subscription books were opened and the survey made by Colonel Kennedy fn the fall of 1872 adopted, which, while it in. creases the distance between Columbus and Atlanta a few miles beyond that c f the regular wagon road, was run so as to cross Pine mountain with only a cut of EIGHT FEET, while the deepest cut upon the entire line, which is between Line and Whitewater creeks, in Fayette county, is only twelve feet deep and not exceeding two hundred feet in length. This line, upon examina tion of the profile of survey, exhibits the lightest grading of any road ever built through middle Georgia. Now, if this line be adopted and, as we have suggested, books be opened for the subscription of stock from one end of the line to the other, with the positive assurance that every stockholder has the privilege of working out his stock, and that he shall have the preference over any railroad contractor in the selection of section or quarter section, while the price of labor is fixed at moderate and reasonable rates, so that stockholders who prefer to pay in the cash, may feel that they are not contributing more pro rala than those who pay in work, many difficulties in the gradibgof the road will be removed. It does seem that if tbe people of Harris, Meriwether and Fay ette counties arc in earnest about a road, we could soou have stock enough sub scribed, counting in the aid to be ob tained from Alla> ta and Columbus and other intermediate towns, together with the help to be obtained from tbe state, (which is $12,000 per mile after the con struction of the first 20 milts), to build the entire road, and build it at once, without having to suspend operations and sell out ut a sacrifice of the stock in vested and allowing the property to pass into other hands. Especially could this be done and the road made u certainty, if a satisfactory arrangement conld lie made to connect with the North & South road, which has already rolling stock and twenty miles in operation, bringing that road to within & few miles of Hamilton. There can be no difficulty in making this connection, since the charter cf our road provides specifically for this very thing. In regard to building the road cheaply by paying the stock subscribed io work on the road, it may be further stated that the Griffin & North Alabama road was built upon this plan from Griffin toNew- nan, and we are satisfied that the same amount of stock required to construct that thirty five miles, of road would be amply sufficient to build a narrow gauge road from Greenville to Atlanta, the grading being very light, as shown by the Kennedy survey iu 1872. Dr. Tail’s Expectorant. Ths unrivaled preparation lias performed some of tbe most astonishing cures that are recorded iu the annals of history. Patients suffering for years from the va’ ious diseases of the Lungs, after trying different reme dies, spending thourauda of dollars in t*av- cling and doctoring, have by the use of a few bottles entirely recovered their health. A sojourner at Aiken, 8. U., writes: New York, August 30,1872. Dr. Tutt—Dear Sir: When in A r ken last winter, I used your Expectorant for my congb, and realized more benefit from ft than anything lever took. 1 am so well that I will not go to Florida next winter as 1 intended.

A.—Most assuredly, lut llicrc .„ no demand for tlieir la- for since production aud manufactures have already outruu the postbtlltlcs of consump tion. There are ino-c go da al eady made than there is demand for, aud while 1 was in New York cases of calicoes wete 6o'.d as low down as #4 35, which was a ruinous price. Much of these goods are not worth upon the market hardly what the raw ma terial cost at first hands. A STARTLING FACT. Reforteu—What, then, arc these non- self- 1 uppottIng peojle to do? How ntc they to live? Gen. A.—They must be taken care of by the public. 1 was told tha*. there are a mil lion and a half of people iu the New Eng land states and New 1 ork whv. will have to be taken care of by the people of the coun try this wiutcr, as they have no meaas of a livelihood except their labor aud for that there is and w’U be no de mand Berides all this the state debt of Nc v York i» #137,000.000, the rcsalt of which is high taxation. Property Is valued at two-thirds its cod, and upon thi - there is a city tax i i New* York city of three per cent., makiug the property valueless to a great extent. Anyone can forecast the re sult of this state of affairs. As I tell you, they must cc lua down iuto the basement anti climb up agaiu. They will, as 1 told one of their leading men, have to see hard times just as we did. They have been doing bus - incss since the war upon the iutlatiou which It brought about. They found themselves with time thousand millions of dollars more money, lit greenbacks and bonds, than they had before, all our negro property and wealth being lost to us ana thus gained to them. But they* liave lost all tlieir wa * for tunes, real estate has fallen from fancy fig ures and they arc now compelled to come down to “iard pan” in everything. THEIR DEPENDENCE. Reporter—Are they not expecting a re vival of trade this winter? Gbn. A—They are depending upon the west and south to bring in some trade. They calculate to get our cotton cheap. Goods are now cheaper thau when cotton was from 5 to 6 cents per pouud. If they cannot sell the goods they ma c they cannot pay big prices for cotton, and they think that the price of thiscrev will go down to 0 cents. Contracts arc made now to de'iv- cr cotton t ere in November for from 12$ to 12J cents per pound. Last year wc made up wards of lour million bags cf co'ton aud yet the people can’t consume a’i the goods made. Matters wi 1 not be bcttcicd much by* the present crop. Reporter—The south will not feel thj effects very seriously, will it? Gen. A.—No, for wc are better off to-day than the north. They have their paupers and their people out of work, and must ;ro- vldefor them. We Arc an agricultural peo ple and produce, by which, if u man has anything made he can sell it. if he has It, there’s a market price for It. Such people arc always safe, Lut those who cannot make and hence have uotliing to sell must suffer. They must steal, commit crime, or be pro vided for by public charity. We have pro duced that which Is staple and there is plenty of money to buy it, and wc will scil aud profit by our industry Our prosperity is measured only by our Industry. This you may rely upen as an axiom to the south ern people. ABOUT HOME MATTER 1 . Reporter.—What do you thiuk, Gcu cralot our home out-look? Gen. A.—Our condition is In every way- promising. We arc far better off th 11 the noit'acrn people, all things considered. Our Georgia 7 per cent, bonds arc commanding par In New York to-day. We owe less money than almost any other set of people in the union and made our crops ttiis year with 50 per cent, lees money than In any ’ear ricce the war. Whulwe want to do yea Is simply to practice economy, husband our resources and devclopo our industiics. I don’t think the south has anything to fear from the prostration and panics iu the north; we’ll sell all wc produce, whether at high or low prices makes little matter, for we’ll buy what we need at proportionately high or low* figures. After some further general observations in line with the above, the conversation DR. CUNNYNGBAtt. Knoxville Age. Rev. Atticus G. Hay good, who has been for some time Sunday school secre tary of the M. K. Church, south, resigned his office recently Dr. Ilaygood was an earnest worker and a very popular officer. The vacancy caused by his resignation has been Tilled, as our readers have been informed, by the election of Rev. W. G. E. Cunnyngham, D.D., of this city. The importance of the position to which Dr. Cunnyngham has been called, moves us to furnish a a sketch of his life for the benefit of the seven hundred thousand Methodists, who arc to receive their weekly rations of Sunday school food from his hands. Dr. Cunnyngham was born in Knox county, Tennessee, December 3d, 1820. He is a son of the Rev. Jcssce Cunnyng ham, who waa the presiding elder of Knoxvilic district al the time of the doctor’s birth. The subject of our notice was licensed to preach and joined the Holston Conference in 1843. He went to China as & missionary in 1852, and was superintendent of the China mis siona. He returned to the United States iu the autumn of 1801 and spent tbe winter in New York city. In the spring oi 1862, he went to Kentucky, where lie taught in Science Hill academy, at Shel by villc. for three years, remaining away from Tennessee because he would not take the oaths required by federal offi- Hc reached Abingdon, Virginia, in 1865, and was, for eight years, a profes sor iu Martha Washington college, du ring which time, 1867-8, he acted as assistant secretary of the foreign board oi missions. In 1873, the doctor was ap pointed to the pastorale of Church street charge, in this city, which position he surrenders after conference, to be held here the 20th of October. We take pleasure in introducing Dr. Cunnyngham to tbe three hundred and fifty thousand Sunday school children connected with the southern Methodist church. It they regret, as well they may, the loss of their former secretary, we assure them that they have cause to be thankful that lie has such a worthy successor. Wc -will “go his security” that he will not be found wanting in any thing. In all the trusts committed to him he has been faithlul, and no matter what the emergency he has been equal to it. Sympathetic in his nature and childlike in h;s disposition, he will make just such a leader as the little “soldiers of the cross” will delight to follow. Knox county is greatly honored in having one of her sons callec to so re sponsible an office. He is one of the “products” in which she justly feels a pride. For ourselves, and in the name of the entire people, we tender to Dr. Cunnyngham hearty congratulations be cause of the distinguished honor con ferred, and sincerely trust that he may have a long, useful and happy life.
