Leßaron Drury has been recog nized by the President as British consular agent at Brunswiek, Ga. The contract for building the ex tension ot the M. & B. It. It. has been let to the American Improve ment Company, of Cincinnati. Clarkson N. Potters name has Laen substituted for that of Senator •Jacobs by the Democrats of New York. His election, however, is not provable. Tbe.remaius of Mrs. Henry Hat tennan, of New York city, who died recently ot consumption, were cre mated in the Lemoync furnace at Wafchihgton, Pa. Gen. Inngstreet, late minister to Turkey, has returned to America, and in a few days will enter upon lus duties as U. S. marshal of the State ot Georgia. Ex-Governor Seymour is quoted assaying: “I have very little faith in in n ho quit preaching for pol itics, and Gou. Garfield is no ex ception to the rule.” The Democrats of North Carolina are dividing up on the whisky que. - lion. Senator Ransom is of the opinion that the regular Democratic ticket will succeed. Senator Conkling addressed the citizens of New York last week, in which he criticized severely the methods adopted by the adminis tration party for his defeat. The New York dead-lock con tinues, without any material change in the situation. Those favoring an adjournment think the time has not arrived when that questiou should be pressed. Ex-Governor Seymour, speaking of the strife existing in the re publican ranks, says : “Ijjee in it a (i ( od!'i' t X • 7*,**- <r* wlio<3 strugglo foretell the early dismem bciment of the party.” Brady, the star route swindler, says he wants to be investigated at once. From the evidence already elicited it would seem that an in vestigation is by no means desira ble, unless he wants an opportunity to plead guilty. There is a disturbance among the republicans of Virginia. A portion of them desire to form an alliance with Mahone, while the remainder prefer to put a straight-out repub lican ticket in the field. Things are warming up to fever heat. The mayor, and other?, of At lanta, have received many inquiries concerning the N. Y. Jewelry Cos.; the Ponce DeLeon Cos.; Gilbert & Cos. and Mourton & Cos., all of At -1 mta, whom, it is charged, arc deal ing fraudulently with their cus tomers. George P. Woods, the prince of clever editors, is visiting Green C rve Springs, on the St. Johns river. On his arrival he was made to disgorge Lis gourd seed for fear the rapid growth of his gourds in that climate would crowd someone i ito tlye lake?. Toe town of Batavia, N. Y., is filled with excitement over the dis covery of what are supposed to be the remains of William Morgan, the man who attempted to expose the secrets of masonry in 1855, and who, it is supposed, was abducted and made away with. A railroad train, twelve miles east of Cleveland, 0., on the 22ud ult., ran into a buggy in which Thomas Garfield, an uncle of the president, and Mrs. Alonzo Arnold, his cousin, were riding. The former was instantly killed, and the latt-r sustained injuries from which she is not expected to recover. The report recently published in the Cochran Enterprise, and copied into other papers, of the shooting of Mrs. Garrett by her daughter, and the subsequent whipping of the daughter by the father for the act, turns out to be false. A Mr. Cheney, it appears, circulated the report through malicious motives. The Wiregrais Farmer*. It is conceded by some of our ex changes that the wineglass section of Georgia is improving faster than any other part of the Stato. It is an evi dent fact that the wiregrnss farmer, as a general rule,is iu more independ ent circumstances than any other. It lias long been a rule ef practice among them to have, ou each farm, a small stock ot sheep aud cattle, Ilogs were always regarded as indispeusible, aud the farm is never without them unless by accident. When destroyed by die- I ease the farm is repleuished as soon as I possible. So closely has this rule been adhered to that it has somewhat be come a reproach to a farmer to say he is a corn or bacon buyer. Another rule of practice has been to plant a variety ot crops. Coru, oats, pens, potatoes, aud sugareune are regard iod among the first requisites. ■ Under this system the farms have beeu sulf-sustaiuiu£, the farmers have had uo necessity to contract debts, aud the consequence is, they have gradually prospered. It is only re cently that they have taken up the idea of accumulating wealth by rais ing cotton —an idea by no means to be deprecated, provided the busi ness of cutton plauting is uot carried oq unwisely and to the detriment of other crops. When the financial standing of the wiregrass section is compared with that ot other portions of the State, the difference is found to be iu favor of the former, and is invariably attributed to the fact that the farmers plant sparingly of cotton. No Hospital Needl'd. No palatial hospital Deeded for Hop Bitters patients, nor large-salaried talented puffers to tell what Hop Bit ters will do or cure, as they tell their own story by their certain and abso lute cures at home.—Now York Inde pendent. A South Carolina jury, says the Nashville American, came very near justifying the profuse assertion of a Kentucky Judge that there were two things omniscience did not know— what a widow and a penitent jury will do. In the failure io convict Cash, charged with murder commit ted iu a duel, the State lost a golden op portunity. The killing ol Shannon by Cash was not even in accordance with the code. If the code were law it would have been murder. The Darien Gazette gives an ac count of the horrible murder of a white woman by trvo burly negro men, because she would not produce her husband’s mouey. This she could not do, because ho had none. They have been arrested, and will doubt less suffer the extreme penalty of the law. Perham, of the Free Press, wants a railroad built from Macon to Cedar Keys via Quitman. YYe can’t help but like Perham even if he ill-treats us ; but, somehow or ether, our con fidence iu his veracity i* somewhat shakeu since he gave that blast with the William goat’s horn. The Fort Gaiues Tribune says: “Mary and Andrew Choice, a color ed couple of this county, have beeu married sixty-five years aud have had born to them twenty-four chil dren—nineteen females and six males, all of whom are now living.” Two negro boys, about ten years old, got into a fight near Hawkins ville on Saturday last, and one stabbed the other, killing him instantly. The railroads in the South are be ing consolidated under three systems —the Cole, the Louisville and Nash ville, and Jay Gould’s combination. The Telegraph and Messenger say s the directors of the Central railroad will hold a meeting in Ma con on the 4th inst. A special to the Constitution says C. P. Cliole shot and mortally wound ed Joel Phillips on Saturday last, at Jasper, Pla. Caterpillars are destroying corn,pea vines, aud every thing else that is green, iu Hernando county, Fla. The Springfield Republican says Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague has thrown Conkling overboard. Eleven cases of sunstroke were reported in New Orleans on the 23id ult. Sptrr's Most Pressing Auxiety. Representative Emory Speer was asked to-night by several newspaper correspondents if he wanted to deny the statement contained in a rocout dispatch to the News, that he had as sured the president that ho would vote with the republicans in the or ganization of the next houso. He said that he would net deny that statement. Ho is more concern - ed to know how the information as fo llis intention in this particular came into the hands of the News correspon dent. Mr. Atkius, ox-collector at Savannah, is one who knew of Speer’s iutentions as to voting iu the next house organization before it reached your correspondent. He has been ou the lookout for sovcral days to find out how it came out. The tenor of the Republican press of the north, in discussing Speer’s jump, if it may be so styled, is by no means complimentary to him. Asa rale, such papers as have spoken of it treat it iu the light that Speer makes the move for a certain interest in the federal patronage of Georgia.—Wash ington Special to Savannah News. Items aud Comment. The President and cabinet, with two exceptions, are at Long Branch. Rev. W.H.Tigner, pastor of Triui ty circuit, Thomasville district, is dead. Master William Bohan, a son of John J. Bohan, of Savannah, per formed a heroie act recently, in sav ing a boy at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. from drowning. Cox, the slayer of Alston, wears the convict stripes, and his busiuess is to feed, harness and take care of sixty head of mules. His is the “softest job” in camp. A Dispatch from Portland, Oregon, says that an arrival from Ounalaska reports that the relief cutter Corwin left that port the latter part of May for the Arctic regions. Conkling and State Senator Mad den had a quarrel at the Delevau House last week. The former was very the latter replied in untnl|s|Hkis.

Mr. Dave West, ot Macon, jump ed out of his bed room window while dreaming, and fell a distance of eighteen feet without sustaining si rious injury. He awoke however. Geo. Grant has arrived at Long Branch from Mexico. He and Pres iJeut Garfield had a three minutes’ conversation on the 25th ult., and the meeting was very pleasant and cordial. The Constitution of the 28th ult. contains a retraction by S. W. Postell of the language used by him, in a re cent issue of the Chicago Tribune, re flecting upon the honor of Gen. Gordon. There are various opinions enter tained as to whether Davis’ book is a correct history of the war. General Sherman is by no means pleased with that portion devoted to hU 1 ‘march to the sea.” Efforts are being made to have a reunion, ou the Bth inst, at Griffin, of llie old second Georgia battalion— Macon volunteers, Floyd Rifles, Columbus Guards and Spaulding Grays. There was, says the Telegraph and Messenger, a lively tussle among the Gbiffiu keroseue dealers last week. On Tuesday one house reduced the price to five cents per gallon, and an other man actually gave it away. Mr. Parnell, it is stated, will sood visit this country again in the interest of the laud league—an organization in the interest of the destitute Irish peo ple. So far but li.tle has been ac complished for their relief, and the probability is that Mr. Parnell’s visit will be of no avail.

MUSICAL HOMES are happy homes. “What has earth dearer iu palace or grove, Than music at nightfall from lips that wo love.” Ah yes, Music, Sweet Music does make Home, Sweet Home, happier and dearer, and the head of a family that iu these days of culture and pro gress does not place a Piauo or na Or gan iu his home, deprives himself and dear ones of n vast amount of pure and refining enjoyment. Our Sunny Southland has in the past ton years taken a wonderful step forward in Musical development and the grand question now being agitated in her millions of Homes is not, “Shall we buy an instrument,” but “How and where shall we buy it.” Ami it is a perplexing question, too.
