They report plenty of com in old Batiks, which, of course, leads us to inter that there is plenty of baeon there :»!*., At any rate, they told us if we would- ,,tilv entile to see them, they would provide us w ill) plenty to eat, and that our horse should not stand tied to the rack or go away hungry. ('apt. John X. Mnntgom ry, of Madison county, paid us a short visit last Friday, which' we highly appreciated. Indeed, we always appreciate the Captain’s visits, for aside from his genial and most agreeable co up inionship, he invariably delights us with his sound, practical and mo t inter esting views upon agriculture, lie is one of the best, most successful ami experienced agriculturists of the State, and we trust he will consent to give onr agricultural readers the benefit of his views and experience through the columns o ihe G .o wan. We learn from him that the rain of Monday, 1-t inst., amounted to almost a •• Water Spout,” in his neighborhood, and wa-hed the lands worse than any rain which has fallen within the last te# years. And tiow the farmers think that little March freeze didn’t go no much against the grain, after all. The Stonewall theatricals, have been post P«»ed for awhile, on account of the illness of some of the members. These are-the days in which the juice that holds the “fly” goes down, and still thev smile attain. Dr. Cicero Holt after a lingering illness of several months, died Sunday morning, of consumption. The Planters’ Hotel in Augusta will lie found ar> elegant resort for parties going to the'Bailroad Convention. The wife of Robroy Hardin, (col’d.) died Sunday morning last, and was buried yes terday afternoon. The Den.osthenian Intermediate Debate has been postponed from May 12 to May 26th., two weeks later. We are sorry to learn, from several of our farmer friends, that the ru«t has made its ap pearance in the wheat of several of our neighboring counties. Attention is called to Ihe change in fnlien’s advertisement. Their stock of goods is ex quisite and the community are by no means inappreciative. “Spring blushes from the hill side” is wliat some poetical youth terms strnwlxrries. It is needless to say that the hills don’t blush much around here. The question with Georgia officials right now is: How doth the busy Bnsbeo Improve e.-ch shining linnr.

The second annual prize drill fur the Uni versity Cadets’ banner by the three com panies of the battalion, came off in front of the Newton House, la*t Saturday afternoon. The balcony ami windows of tin-hotel were crowded, while the windows of the Library building and the sidewalks were filled with spectators and the friends of the soldier hoys. The commissioned officers with the Orderly Sergeant of the Athens Guards, acted as Judges. The companies particl- |i'tiing, were governed by the following regulations: 1, Each Com any shall have in ranks, twenty-two privates in full uniform. •J. The Sergeants shall execute the man ual together with the privates. Each Company shall drill in the man* ual of Arms live minutes, and twentv-two minutes in manoeuvres—a rest of three minutes being allowed between the exe •li tmus of manual and manoeuvres. 4. T -ere shall he no intercourse, during the drill, between the Judges and parties intent ted. 5. No officer, except the Captain, shall give commands or make corrections while upon the ground. 0. Each Company shall execute ihe Manual of Anns (except the fouling and firing) and the regular manoeuvres for Coin pany drill. All contested points shall be decided ai-cori'ing to Upton’s Revised Tactics. \V. II Fleming, Capt. Co. A. G. D. Thomas, Capt. Co. B. J. U. Jackson, Capt Co. G. At half past four o’clock, Companies B, C, A. assembled up-m the grounds and ihill.-d in the order named above. Not withstanding the fact that the drill came off about a month carliei than last year, tin- hoys evinced, hv their excellent Lues in inarching, their well-dressed fours and fine wheels, that they had improved their time upon the field movements, while the man ual, as a general thing, was well executed. As was generally supposed, however, the banner was given hack to Company A, w ho have carried it since last year and who proved by their splendid drilling that thev were still in the van. The flag was presented by L W Thomas, Es |, in a very tie it speech, after which, the hoys gathered around Flisch’s lemonade tank, where the victors and iho vanquished sprinkled their joys, drowned their sorrows, their throats, and polished off gold braid and brass buttons with lemonade, un til the sinking sun and the approaching bottom of the tub warned them to drink no more. It is confidently asserted that tffeL C. T., will tiirnish more good looks to the world in its present graduating class than any Col lege in the State. The Grand Instrumental nnd vocal concert, given by the amateurs of thp citv. under the directum of Prof. Amende, for the benefit of ihe Presbyterian Church, will come off at Deupieo’s Hull, Friday evening, May 19th, The Senior da«s of the Lucy Cohb Insti tute will go on n short “ cruise,” this morn ing to Mrs. Wright’s place in Richmond county. Thence they will excurt to Augusta daring the Convention. Gen. Murphey of Lexington is said to lie loosing flesh, caused by too much railrond ramhling. The Gen. has a running acenuut at three soda founts in Augusta and expects tlmsly to regain his lost hide. Young men returning home with the girls at night in Cohbham complain of the rickety condition of the gates. Tnis thing should he looked into, ns a young man’s fancy must have something to swing to, these fine spring evenings. We saw him as he tottered and staggered alovg the curbstone, we beheld with pi y his haggard face and hollow cheek, we shudder ed as we looked into his sunken, dull, glassy eve and heard his quick uncertain utterances, ami then gentle reader, we knew that he was —bilious. The picnic of Prof. Sylvamis Morris’ school cam? off at the fair grounds, last Saturday, and was a jolly affair. Fifteen times was the light fantastic tripped and alter eating a big dinner and having a gen eral hig time the little folks adjourned. Prof. Morris nnd his boys never do things by halves. The Athens correspondent of Ihe Echo forwards Rev. Mr. Campbell’s Memorial address in ftill, to that paper with no credit to the Georgian on the same. As we hap pened to publish the address in its entietv, we presume that the re|iorter from the Little store on the Corner” must have either stenographed or copied it.

A law to the effect that every judicial circuit should be provided with a short hand reporter, was passed at the last sessson of the General As- semhly of Georgia, nnd we hope that this re quirement will he speedily complied with, as it will materially nid the Judge, his juries nnd lawyers iu their press of business. IIE HAKES HIS STATEMENT. Friday afternoon, iu company with Sheriff Bruuuiug aud B. F. Culp Feq., two repor ters of me Georgian visited Ed. Kehey at hia cell in the new jail, and through t.e euuilesy ot our legal guides as weh as upon the invitatiou of Kedey himself, en tered hiseed and sitting down opposite him, enjoyed a loug and uninterrupted u»u\ensa ttou WHU the great " wild uuui of the woods.’ PERSONALLY We were rather dLappoiuied iu our eta a via. \\ e had been leu to believe lhat be was a tall, raw boued scowhegian, wim hair ruuuing wild all over hiiu like a modem Esau, an eagle’s eye aud a geut ral ferocity o mieu and demeanor which lor ihe must purl we fouud lacking, tils " get up" is not half devilish or abandoned enough tor a bandit, and ins jtersontUe would bardlv meet the approval ot a tin* class dime novel- isi. To be sure, lie is not the kind of a sub ject that Davis would wish to place upon oue of his tint.d cartes and insert in his show case, but barring a sort of abandon in hi* toilette, Ed. Kelley is about what the read er would imagine one of the average yen- ni * nr y to a .PI*”’ wlH> lor *°me tin e ha» l )een “ roughing •t,’’ regardless of soap and water. Edward Kelley is 30 years old, of me dium height, although of a rather heavy build. IBs brown hair, owing to a few weeks’ separation from coinb and brush, is matted and curly, and his light brown beard, in s-imc places sandy, evinces the same desire to Kink up at the ends. His eyes are of a light bine, in which constantly lurks an anxious, quizzical expression as he talks or listens, and his manner is quirk and nervous; his present restlessness, ow ing, perhaps, to his feverish condition caused by three wounds. He is very ready to talk; seems to lie quite sociably ‘nclined, aud answers all questions readily and intel ligibly. He is a man of some education, can read and write, and uses remarkably good language iu conversing. The amount of it is that these Alabamians treated him ery badly, according to his statements, and he apolog zed for his extremely soileel gear, by saving that- he had been deprived of all his clothes, save those iu which lie was now array d; which, as we before re marked, were r.ilh.-r of ihe “earth, earthly.’’ Kelley is an old Confederate soldier, serv ing in Hardee’s ar ny mo md Savumah, in Hartridge’s 27th Ga. battalion, User’s brigade and Wright’s division. He is a farmer in Newton county, Ga., and last April, made a contract with one Charles Brown, in Cleburne county, Ala., to move his family over to that State. Almui this time, hi* “brother, Charles Kelley sent a note to Edward advising him to meet him as early as possible. Edward >tnte* that lie was not with Charles and his gang when those depredations and difficulties wen- going on in Jackson and Madison counties, in fact, did net join him until he had reac > ed Jasper county, Ga At this point, Charlie told him that if he would go with him over into Alabama, and pilot him around that country, wi*h which he (Ed.) was tiiiuiiiar, that a conveyance could be procured to convey his family from Newton county. E i. stated liiat he didn’t wish to have any difficulty about getting a con veyance," but after sonu* persuasion on the art o' liis brother Charles, he started in company with Charles and Bushin. The following is a detailed account of the trip, adventures aud subsequent mis fortunes, ns near as we could glean them from the prisoner’s statements: We went through Griffin ami Greenville, Ga., and thence up through Randolph county, Ala., to uncle Ike Freeland*’, wlu-re we arrived Sunday morning. On Monday morning, we sent Howard’s mare down to lie shod, and went out in the field to help the hoys roll logs. About ten o’clock that morning, the Sheriff of the county with a posse of men came out and fouud us there in onr shirt sleeves. At first, .we thought they were hunters from Wedowa, but pretty soon we found out that they were after *l>ig game, for they hallooed at us und commenced to shoot, Four shots were fired at me and the third load struck me, three squirrel shot going in my hack and one in iny arm. Bushin, who was minding the fire, ran for our coats and pistols on a slump, g -t them and we all ran into the woods. My uncle’s followed me, hut after throwing rocks at iliein, they went back.

This talented lady who is now stopping at Mrs Nevitt’s in our* city, gave one of her charming literaiy entertainments, Saturday night, which was pronounced a treat by every one present We are glad, indeed, that our citizens will have an opportunity to lis ten to her readings, one of which she has consented to give at the Phi Kappa hall, next Friday evening. May 12th. Her elocu* tionary knowledge is said to be perfect and her renditions of choice selections have been highly complimented apd warmly appreciat ed hv nur people of Savannah and Augusta. The following, wo copy Irons the Augusta t ~ p_ t Constitutionalist: As a general thing, entertainments of a purely literary character in which an unpro- professimial is to lead, seldom receive that attention which is due to the talent eugaged in them. Last evening, however, was a crowning exception to the well-known apa thy which often blights the early aspira tions of genius. ’Tis no easy task for one, though rarely gifted, to confront a careless nnd indiff-rent public. Yet, the common inhertaiice of minds thus peculiar! ’ and specially developed, is to experience disap pointment nnd neglect. The entertainment given last evening by Mrs. Goodwyn, was conclusive in illustration that this talented lady snerits tile praise she has won, the fanm that undoubtedly awaits her, and the success th.it is already hers.
