A colored man, Gilbert Carr, who became overheated
at the Factory, last week, and suddenly cooled off by
drinking largo quantities of water, was taken ill and
died within two days thereafter. This should be n
wanting to those who arc compelled to exercise them
selves to any manner during tlic continuation of this
excessively heated term, not to cheek free perspiration
by any artificial means nor to paralyze the stomach by
cold drinks, when very much heated. Many, many
deaths are caused by imprudence ill this particular.

A alight trill by the band annonneed its arrival.
Like the gawgawed gentry of the aawdnst ring, who
rushingly unroll the cocoa-matting for the man and the
elephant, the convict force pulled and twisted around
tho finishing curve the last installment of the “ linked
sweetness;" snd in esme the attre enough train, roll
ing over the walla of the Ferro-Litbic as if it had been
coming there all the time, '/hero was considerable
excitement at first; a craning of necks to get a look at
the elephant, and then the crowds in attendance scent,
ed to take to the train as easily as the train took to the
crowd.
The track, in fact, has been finished beyond the
depot; the aldeling ( and turn-table are almost compict.

to visit Lnia and Bellton and expreta themselves de

HARD TIMES AGUE
c
[From our regular Correspondent.j
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 31, ’7o.
It is with great pleasure that I avail my
self of the opportunity of addressing once
again a few lines to your sterling journal.
The heat in tills city, for the past month,
has been frightful in its intensity—the heat
of the sun being concentrated into a focus
of burning rays almost insupportable in
their warmth, and affording, I should im
agine, a very good foretaste of the lower
regions.
Yellow fever has been raging in Savannah
for the past week, from which place the
citizens are flying in large numbers in their
eager and justifiable haste to escape the
unwelcome visitations of Yellow Jack. Our
citizens are extremely alarmed,lest it should
make its appearance in our midst. The
newspapers are, as usual, endeavoring to
suppress the progress of the fell disease,
and claim that it has not yet made its ap
pearance in the form of an epidemic; but
we hear, from what we consider reliable
private sources, that it exists in tho most
severe form, persons being carried off in
five and six days. Our Board of Health
has been in session almost daily, and are
using every precaution to put the city in
the best possible sanitary condition. The
steamboats plying on the Savannah river
have been put in quarantine, and the rail
road conductors ordered to open the doors
of their cars, at the distance of twenty
miles from the city. God knows, our afllic-.
tions have been sufficiently severe for th_
past four years, and it is to be most earn
estly desired that we shall be spared from
any visitation of tliis awful epidemic so
frightful in its ravages, and to which our
city has been so fearfully subjected in by
gone years.
Onr city lias been very much improved
in the last five or six years, and the sounds
of the carpenter’s hammer and mason’s
trowel may be beard in all portions of the
town—being the sure harbingers of the
erection of magnificent stores and hand
some dwellings in all the waste places of
our beautiful city—denoting, unmistakably,
the rapid, onward march of progress and
improvement. The instrumentality through
which such an impetus has been given to
building, is onr Heal Estate »fc Building
Association, by means of which persons
are enabled to build, by paying into the
Association four and five hundred dollars
per annum, houses worth from six to eight
thousand, the Association keeping the
deeds in their possession until the total j
amount shall have been paid in.
Our business prospects for the coining
commercial year are exceedingly promising,
as the crop is by far the best that has been
harvested for years; and as all classes of
industry arc more or less dependent upon j
the success achieved by the brave sons of:
the soil, everything is putting on its most I
cheerful garb, and our merchants arc ac- !
tively preparing for a fall trade. There are '
numerous young men in Augusta out of
employment, some of whom have been so
for two or three years. As an illustration
of what can be accomplished by well-directed
energy and business talent, I will relate the
following: In the year 1874, tliree young
dry goods clerks in this city formed a co
partnership with a capital of twelve thou
sand dollars; this fall, some cause of disa
greement having arisen, they dissolved their
partnership, and divided among themselves
as tlic result of two years’ operations, the
sunt of forty-four thousand dollars, and
this result achieved too, during a season
unparalleled in the history of our existence,
in which ruin and disaster has swept iike a
tidal wave o'er our land, submerging thou
sands in penury.
A much greater degree of interest has
been manifosted-Uere in politics this season,
than has been knownhsmee the days of the
glorious struggles with Radicalism:— There
were two tickets nominated for tho Legis- 1
lature, upon one" of which was a Catholic
gentleman, who has represented us xrith-
great ability for the last four or five years.
The opposing candidates endeavored to
living religion into the contest, and urged
the fact of his being a Catholic as a strong
reason why he should not be returned. But
as ever has been, and ever will be the case,
their ungenerous and • nmanly persecutions
redounded upon themselves, and they met
with an overwhelming defeat. The gentle
man to whom I refer, is the Hon. I*. YValsli,
than whom there is no better or purer Rep
resentative in onr Legislative Halls. The
Hon. John T. Shewmake received the
nomination of State Senator from this Dis
trict, and all agree in saying that no better
choice could have been made. The Con
gressional Convention for this (the 8th)
District, will meet in Thomson next week,
where it is confidently expected that tlic
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, “Thenoblest
Roman of them all,” will be again nomina
ted for Congress. I have heard the wish
expressed by very many of onr best citizens,
that the 9tli would again elect Benj. Hill
liy an overwhelming majority, as his elec
tion would do honor not only to the 9th,
not only the State of Georgia, but to the
whole South. She needs champions such
as he, to repel the foul-mouthed assertions
of that vile horde of blatant demagogues, of
whom Blaine is a faint exponent. Our
candidates lor county officers are number
less and increasing daily; for instance, there
are at present only ten candidates for the
office of Ordinary alone, which pays a sala
ry of about twenty-five hundred dollars.
T! o outlook in South Carolina is very en
couraging, as the Democrats seem at iast
to appreciate the necessity of prompt and
energetic action, and it is welLfor tli.-in
that they do, as their very salvation is
dependent upon the result of the campaign
this fall. In Gen. Wade Hampton, they
have a leader who will win the victory it it
be possible for man to accomplish it. The
Democrats across the river have adopted
a novel but very effectual measure of
making themselves heard. Whenever a
meeting of the Radical sons of Ham is
called by the Republican Chairman, the
several hundred in nttmlier, all mounted
and armed to the teeth, repair to the scene
of the meeting, and firmly but calmly, state
to the negroes that their speakers must be
heard; which demand generally results iti
an equal number of speakers front both
parties addressing the assembled crowd.
The Centennial fever is at its height, and
every train over the Coast line is crowded
with passengers eager to behold the won
ders of the great international exhibition,
it seems very strange this constant iflow of
travel Northward, notwithstanding the
lottd and universal complaints of hard
times. Clinch.
man; __
liberations
its legitimate
meetings were not crow
and a number of very adnv
were read. One on fruit culture, _ .
P. J. Berckmans, of Augusta, was especial
ly valuable, and it was particularly gratify
ing to observe the deep interest taken in
this mnch neglected department of idustry,
as shown by the numerous questions pro
pounded to Mr. B. We hope hereafter
much greater prominence will be given to
horticulture at the session of the Society.*"
Whilst in the main the meeting was, as
we have said, pleasant and instructive,
some very remarkable scenes transpired.
One we may mention. A resolution hav
ing been introduced to raise a committee
to inquire whether the Trustees of the
University of Georgia had used the income
arising from the land scrip funds for the
benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic
Arts, in manner prescribed by Act of Con-
greess donating the same, an Ex-Governor
of Georgia oi* unenviable notoriety, who
grew ricli whilst the formers of Geor
gia grew poor, vehemently denied the right
of tho Convention to inquire into the mat
ter, although it. was composed of a large
body of farmers, representing a still larger
constituency of the same class. No legisla
tion, nothing but simple irt'/uirg proposed,
and it violently resisted. Why this sensi
tiveness to inquiry ? Is it a confession that
the matter will not hear investigation, or
is it offspring of offended dignity, which
holds that the '‘ King can dojno xy^ong
To make the matter still more ludicrous,
this same person of unenviable notoriety,
only one year ago, at the Dalton meeting
came before this same body of farmers, and
introduced a series of resolutions, of which
the following is a part:
Whereas, the funds arising as the rev
enues of the University are greater in
amount than those arising from the invest
ments made for the State Agricultural Col
lege, and it is understood to involve a great : “ ioi " s wl '° 3 '“ lU ,ho ®* mo *“ Ue - Nomim " f '> r Re P-
deal of labor, and some difficulty to keep j C0I "‘'- V - MANV YOTl:KS -
the accounts between the two separately ; ..... » , -
be it, therefore, 1 * FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL.
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this j
convention, the State Agricultural College
should be kept separate and distinct from
Franklin College, and from each depart- !
ment of the Univsrsity, and the students of
the State Agricultural College should have
all the privileges under the other Profess
ors of the University that are enjoyed by
other students of tho University; and stu
dents of the University should be permitted
to attend the lectures and recitations of
the agricultural Professors, so as to throw
the students togethoa, sc
wise, as much as possible.
Resolved, further, That any action of

professors and other expenses of each out

The Grangers have struggled nobly for
several years to elevate the profession of

supernumerary middlemen, and to make its
influence felt i-i the councils of State.
Farmers have been encouraged to place a
higher estimate upon their calling, and the bin-era.

ble mortification at the election of Col.
Hardeman to the Presidency of the Geor

meeting. To Col. II. as a gentleman, or
as a presiding officer in the abstract, we
have no objections whatever to urge. But
for one, we are not willing to confess^thqt.

side over - the Society.—Several were
brought forward at the meeting either of
whom uaeuld have filled the plate as well
as Col. El. or any one else. The truth ap
pears to be, that it was a political- move
ment, and Col. IPs claims were openly ad
vocated before the Convention on\ the
ground of his services to the Democratic
party. In another forum that would have
