THAI MONUMENT.
The f ttherof his country is to have
monument after all, thanks
in great part to the house

$100,000 to complete the monument
that has long been an eye-sore at Wash

[In the year 1776 an attack was made
on Sullivan’s Island, in tbe harbor of
Charleston, 8. C., by the land and naval
forces of Great Britain, under the com
mand of Sir Henry Clinton and Sir Pe
ter Parker. After much time and la
bor in lightening the heavy ships, they
anchored opposite Fort Moultrie, and
commenced a tremendous cannonade.
General Clinton Had landed his troops
to tne eastward of the harbor with the
itention of fording the channel and at
tacking the fort in the rear, while the
ship, attacked it in front, but from
eome mistake or want of knowledge of
the depth ol the water in the channel,
he was unable or nnwilling to attempt
anything, ln the meantime the fort
by a well-directed fire, nearly demol
ished the British fleet, and Sir Peter
was (am to escape with the loss of half
hismeu killed and wounded, among
the latter himself, the tail of his breech
es being shot away. The following
humorous paraphrase of Sir Peter’s of
ficial letter to the lords of the admiral
ty was written by an English wit of
those days:]

Hawkinsville Dispatch.
—William Hinson, an employee
the farm of John Denton, esq., in Cof
fee county, was hunting in the woods
the other day when he found ten rat
tlesnakes holding, as he supposed, a
kind of primary meeting or singing
convention. The air was perfectly mu
sical with the sound of their rattles,
him home and sent for Dr. Carelton
who pronounced him hopelessly para
lyzed from concussion of the brain.
The water was only four feet
deep and his head struck the bot
tom with sufficient force to produce
the result. He is paralyzed from bis
neck downward, and is unable to move
hand or foot, but is perfectly conscious,
and can talk fluently. His limbs and
body are insensible to pain and the
pricking of the flesh with ne«*lle© anil
pins produces not the slightest sensi
bility. The only joint in his body which
can move is his right shoulder but the
arm and hand attached to it are com
pletely paralyzed. Mr. McGowan is a
young man of great industry, sober
habits and correct deportment, and has
the sympathy of every one in his great
affliction. Ail that medical skill can
do to restore the suspended animation
to the lifeless limbs will be done and
his friends can only hope that the ef
forts of his physician may be success
ful.
—While in Twiggs a few weeks ago
we enjoyed tbe hospitalities of the
pleasant home of Col. J. D. Jones, and
paid a visit to his beautiful fish pond
near bis house, and viewed with pleas
ure the myriads of fish disporting them
selves among the moss in its pellucid
waters. We were surprised at the
tameness of the fish who came in
swarms to the top of the water after the
crumbs of bread thrown in by onr host.
The pond is about an acre in area and
is fed by several bold springs, which
keep the water clear and pure, and it
is a most delightful place tor bathing.
In the centre of the pond CoL Jones
lias erected a beautiful octagonal house,
access to which is gained by a bridge
which is a most delightful place duriug
the warm weather. From the steps
of this house we plunged into tne
>ond and enjoyed a most delight-
ul bath. Tlie pond was constructed
aboutone year ago, and about 100 fish
laced in it of tbe varieties known as
•ream, red-breast, cat and roaches.
During the year these fish have pro
duced a hundred fold, and the pond
will in a short time furnish an abun
dance of food for the table. CoL Jones
owns about 1,600 acres of land, and is
making preparations to engage largely
in the rearing of stock aud dairy farm
ing. He intends to procure about 100
milch cows, sheep, brood mares, goats
and hogs, with the best varieties of
poultry, and expects to practically
demonstrate to our people that some
thing else besides cotton will pay in
this country.

—While in Dublin last week we saw
Mr. Jackson Perry, a hale and hearty-
old gentleman, who has reached the
ripe old age of 93 years, and is the old
est citizen of Laurens county. He is
the father of Mrs. Edwin Perry, of that
couuty who is 69 years of age, and is
the grandfather of Sir. Henry Rutland
of irwmton. Notwithstanding his great
age, he is in full possession of all of his
faculties, and possesses sufficient bodily
vigor to enable him to walk a consider
able distance without fatigue. The
secret of his longevity lies in a good
constitution, an even temper, and the
fact that he has always attended to his
own business, never run for an office,
and always paid the subscription price
of his paper unmurmuringly in ad

QOV. JOHNSON WITHDRAW*.
At this juncture, Mr. Twiggs, of Richmond

Johnson he desired to announce that his name
(Johnson's) was withdrawn from the contest.”
[Loud and prolonged cheers ] Vocifer
were made for a speech and Mr. Twiggs ascended
the platform and said:
"Gentlemen. I did not come here

when it was made known to his friends, by Gov

the convention.

quite a Urge attendance.
Maj Cummins stated that he had In his pos
session
A LETTER FROM QOV. JOHNSON,
in which the distinguished ex-governor d» dined
to have his name presented to the col vention.
The letter will be read in the convention today,
and is understood to embrace the idea that was
conveyed in Gov Johnson's reply to the circular
letter, addressed to him some weeks ago. That
idea is that he would not submit his name fur a
nomination forced under a two-thirds rule; tha
he is only willing to take public office of such
h irresponsibilities at£the spontaneous demand
of the people, and that, as it is evident that
the people are not desirous ot presenting such a
demand to him, he will not disturb the harmo
ny of any choice they may desire to make.
WHAT NEXT TO DO.
Tins announcement at once left the delegates
without a chief, and what next to do waa the
question.
Mr. H. Gregg Wright, editor of the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel, offered resolutions to
the effect that the delcgatious intending to sup
port Mr. Johnson should now cast their strength
foflGcn. Colquitt.
A motion to adjourn was severally voted
down rua rare and by call of
couuties, and after some s'raggling
opposition, the resolutions were npopted.
ALL FOR COLQUITT.
This action solidifies almost the entire vote
of tho convention upon Gen. ral Colquitt and
his nomination huunong the mostccrtaiu tilings
that we can dare predict of the future.
There was some talk of otlier men—new can
didate s to be pnt forward to-day, but
tins was taken simply as a desperate grasp
at floating straws, and indicates nothing
The mingling of the Jo nson men with the
Colquitt legion was fraternal and generous, ar.d
the congratulations over this happy issue from
all fcare of dissension aud inharmonious ac
tion were fervent and general.

One of the very first movements

regard which has been the most precious reward
of the great men who ln former years held ex

A delegate from Harris county arose and
stated that the delegates from that county
would cast their four votes for C jlquittt, which
colled forth cheers.
COL TOM HARDEMAN
unanimously called out, and finally re-
spouoed in a brief * p.eeh, as follows :
“Fellow-citizens—I congratulate the demo
cratic purty of the state upon the prospect here
to-night for Ita peace and harmony. (Cheers.)
It Is the omen ol that great victory that awaits
us iu October next, (cheers) and it will give the
fullest encouragement to the democracy
throughout the Union that the November fol
lowing Georgia will roll up a tremendous ma
jority for Tildeu. Hendricks and
Reform! (Loud cheers) I am aware, fel
low citizens, that there were some ol
our enemies who supposed that there wou'.d be
schisms and divisions iu our party, and that
many in our own ranks believed suen things
■might happen, but for myself 1 have never en
tertained a fear or a doubt, for 1 believed, rely
ing upon the patriotism of the people, that they
would demand that private ambition aud per
sonal aims snould be brought down before the
will of the onty sovereignty we acknowled. e.
that of the people! [Cheers] 1 hat there will
be disappointed aspirations no oue will doubt,
and that cherished hopes will be blighted none
can gainsay, but perish forever I say, every per
sonal ambition if it is to inar the peace and har
mony of tlie democratic party of the state
[Loud cheers. 1 Kor, sirs, it is the ouly party that
we can look to for peace and safety in tills land
It is the or.y party that promises home rule,
it is the only party that watches and guards the
reserved rights of the states, and I say that
believed that the patriotism of the people would
sec to it that harmony in the pursuit of its
triumph should not be disturbed for the sake of
personal desires or ambitions. [Applause.] And
now that we have the assurance here of that
harmouy, let us see to it that our work is not
felt to be done when to-morrow’s sur. goes down,
(or there is a party in this uniou still that is
trampling upon the people’s rights and crushing
out their liberties through the agency' f m'lita-
17 power—a party whose head is muddled with
'crooked whisky/ whose hands are steeped iu
corruption and whose heart is moved by the ap
peal* of needy relations and hungrj
kina-people! [Cheers.] It U 1 party
that grows rich upon the money of the people
while the soldiers of tke government are butch
ered upon the plains for w nt of proper equip
ment (Cheers.) I say that the people of tbe
country mult hurl this party from power, and
this scene here to-night convinces me that the
people of Georgia will be found marshalled un
der the banner of retrenchment aud reform
(Cheers) Already the firny cross has been
lighted and .is being borne by faithful clans
men over mountain, valley and glen, and the
people are rolling to the support of that party
which intends to reform this government, be
cause it has beci controlled by a %, rty whore
history is that of bankrupted trade, mechanics
without work, and laborers without hire!
(Cneers). and I trust that old Georgia
will tomorrow be found united
and throw her banner to the
breeze with Tilden, Hendricks and Reform in-
tcribod upon its folds In letters of gold, [cheersj
and under it. in no leas bright characters—’Col
quitt and victory!’ [Loud applause ]
Col Hardeman then said that his name hLd
been publicly and by friends suggested for the
position of state elector, but his private business
waa such that he could not accept the place. He
hoped his name would not be presented for the
honor, but he would pledge them to do his part
in the campaign. His voice would be heard for
the nominees even from the mountains to the
sea-coast.
The most uproarious applau«e was heard when
Col Hardeman concluded his speech and sever
al parties seemed to have no special time iu
which to cease doing their hallow oing. It was a
very eloquent effort.
THREE CHEERS FOR HARDEMAN.
Col. John C. Nicholls, of Chatham, proposed
three cheers for Hardeman and Colquitt, which
was unanimously carried by the spontaneous
outburst of the people s applause.
Gen. A. R. Iamar and reveral other dlstin
guished persons present were called upon but
declined.
There appeared to be no other business before
the caucus aud it thereupon adjourned.
