Columbus Enquirer: Last Friday
Messrs. Burrell Williams and Mc-
Rae, who had been enemies for two
or three years, met upon horseback,
and dismounted to settle the differ
ence between them. Williams made
at Mcßea with his knife and cut him
twice, while he, Mcßae, was hack
ing towards a fence close by. On
reaching the fence he seized a rail
and doalt a blow upon the head of
Williams. This will likely cause
his death. He has been speechless
since he received the stroke. These
gentlemen live in this county, and
are citizens very highly thought of.
The Mirror , speaking of the crops
in Houston says the farmers inform
us that they will be compelled to re
plant their corn to secure anything
like a good stand. Under the genial
influence of the sunshine, some of it
will sprout out but nothing (ike a
stand. Many farmers have com
menced to plough up and replant al
ready. Birds are pulling it up at a
fearful rate on some plantations and
the farmers are poisoning them by
the hundred to stop their depreda
tions. Mr. Glenn Visscher found one
hundred and seventy-five dead birds
under one tree in one oi fields a
few days ago. Black birds doves and
crows arc the most troublesome.
As to the effect of the late cold spell
”” the. Macon Telegraph,
says: Our experience is, xi—* luhMrt*
the tree is in full flower, and the em
bryo peach or apple has not been
formed, the severest cold is innocuous.
It is only when the bud freezes, or
the tender germ is subjected to se
vere cold that there is danger. In
lower Georgia, where the seasons are
earlier, the fruit is said to have been
utterly destroyed. And it is a cu
rious fact that the peach crop is
much more precarious and uncertain
in low latitudes than in Virginia and
-TersoK. wlmre the cold is more
uniform, and vegetation does not
start until theseason is well advanced.
The Griffin Xeics says that a few
; days ago Mr. .Jarrett Pounds, a young
gentleman of Spalding county, en
gaged in cutting some wood, when a
large chip flew up and struck him
over the eye. A few minutes after
receiving the blow he made an effort
to blow his nose and actually blew
| his eye completely out of its socket,
leaving its central attachments. The
eye was replaced by some friend, but
the young gentleman soon after the
accident became insensible and had
several convulsions. The eye was
examined by Dr. J. L. Stephenson,
of Griffin, who states that the sight
is not impaired and it is firmly fixed
in its place again.
The Macon Telegraph says that
Mr. W. J. Tillman, who lives near
Smithville, Lee county, lias wheat
measuring 36 inches in height, and
which now prom isos a yield of at
least 25 bushels to the aert. Ills oat
crop is also very fine, He buys no
commercial fertilizers, but makes all
he uses. He wears a suit of black
jeans, handsome as cassimere, which
was spun, wove, cut and made by
Mrs. Tillman, and the wool of which
it was manufactured was clipped
from Hk> backs of Mr, T.’s sheep.
This is one of the happiest, because
one of the most prosperous, families
in Georgia, but not happier or more
prosperous than it is m the power of
every other family in the State to be.
A correspondent sends us the fol
lowing particultars of a horrible ac
cident: Mrs. Dean was living near
Lulaton, Brunswick & Albany Rail
road, with her two children, a son
and daughter. On Sunday morning
she proposed for the two children to
visit some relatives a few miles dis-
tant, while she would visit a near
neighbor. The children left to re
turn in the evening. Before the
mother started some neighbors came
to see her, and remained till the
middle of the evening, leaving her
aloud; "f*ri:> children did not return
home till Monday morning, when"
tinw found their mother lying about
thirty yards from the dwelling, by
the side of an old stable, burned to
I death. —Savannah Ecfps.
The Columbus Enquirer says : A
negro returned from Mississippi last
week, throughly disgusted with the
country. He had walked from near
Vicksburg to Montgomery, Ala.
Thence he had just money enough to
come back by rail. A prominent cit
izen asked him why lie came back.
He said he arrived on the plantation
on which he had been engaged, and
Sunday morning about 8 o’clock he
heard a horn blow. To his enquiry
of what that meant he was informed
it was for all hands to go to work,
they were never allowed to stop for
Sunday. “By golly,” he add*d, this
was enough for him,and made tracks
for old Georgia and Eastern Alabama
where they let a darky go to meetiu’
on Sunday, lie was promised his
expenses out, provisions, clothing,
house and a piece of land, but he
would find no time to cultivate the
latter. He also states that there are
hundreds who went West who would
gladly return.
The Journal says that M-. Welch,
of Hamilton, proposes to swim a
mile against any man in the Uuited
Slates. He proposes to swim only in
fresh water, and says he will wager
one thousand dollars on each swim,
and will meet any man on the half
way ground. He aiso proposes to
dive against any one who feels so
disposed to show his pluck, and will
also go one thousand dollars, or any
other amount on that. If there is
anyone who would like to take a 1
little exercise in that way, 4et him
come to the in/.it* Who speaka f '
G-overnor Smith and Secession.
A correspoddent of the Detroit
Xeics reports Gov. Smith, of Geor
gia, as saying to him recently:
“I regard the indfssoluhleness of
the Union as settled forever. Seces
sion was a mistake. Even had it
succeeded I now see that it would
not have been five years before there
would have been further secession
within the Confederate States. The
States west of the Mississippi could
never have got on along with those
east. The loss of the slaves was a
severe blow to the South. Still we
should he just as well off without
them were the negro race less indo
lent and unreliable. We cannot get
work out of them now that they are
free. A man may employ fifty ne
groes and plant his crop, but he has
not the slightest assurance that he
will ever gather it. If his hands
chose not to work, he is at their mer
cy, and they are just as liable to
abandon their engagements at a crit
ical time as at any other. They are
constitutionally an idle and thriftless
race, always depending on the whites
for everything, and it will take a cen
tury of education before they can be
brought up to the standard that will
make them in any degree useful
members of the community.”
The Northwestern Excursion-
The effects or the last visit of over
600 representatives citizens, of the
Northwest, has created such a wide
spread interest, that it is decided to

Christian Index,
ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
rpHE CIIRISTI \N INDEX AND BAPTIST
M appeals to the affection as well as to tin
interest of every member of tlie great Baptist
1 onily in Georgia. Every Baptist in the South
feels ii iust pride in his or her denominational
paper, and should use every possible means to
induce non-subscribing Baptist* to take tins
THE BEST RELIGIOUS FAMILY PAPI R
IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
In size, mechanical execution and complete
ness it is UNSURPASSED.
Its Editorial staff is composed of some of the
iiiu-t eminent writers in the Denomination.
It lias u large eorps of paid Contributors and
Correspondents.
It is me Denominational Organ cf Georgia Baptists,
endorsed by their Conventions and urgentlv
recommended to ihe exclusive favor and
patronage ol the Denomination in Georgia.
Therefore we urge and earnestly request ev
ery Baptist in Georgia to subscribe for THE In
DEX. Every Pa-tor should see to it that his
membership is supplied with the paper.
E veiy Baptist in Georgia should make
it his duty to subscribe for and the
State Organ ofliis Denomination.
See its Peculiar Merits ami Advantages,
1. Ax a Denominational Orga >>. In it art 1
lbund discussed all topics and subjects vital to
the Christianity of the itgt*, and especially to
us a> Baptists. Xo paper evidences more wis
dom in discussing the “signs ol'the times.” It
does not sound the alarm titter errorists have
done their work.
2 The Index ••ontains all the latest Church
intelligence, revival and otherwise. All tacts
pertaining to the progress and prosperity ol
our Zion-, that can be gather'd from the press
and t orrcspondence, are to lie louird in its col
umns.
3. The Spirit of the Press of all Denomina
tions tout (ting subjects vital to church, society
and country, is carefully collated, so that you
may see at a glance what the great minds' of
the age think, as to the subjects indicated, as
well as of those who edit and control the paper.
4. “Our l'ulpit” is another Important l’ea
■ure. Each is'ue contains a carefully prepared
sermon, which, in itxelf, is worth the subscrip
tion price of the paper.
5 AH information relating to Husbandry—
the laboring class or Granges—is carefully ma
nipulated lor your bent-lit.
G The want-, of your children are not neg
lected. Selections are made from the best Sab
bath school and children’s papers, making
this department alike instructive and enter
taining.
7. From the secular press is gleaned the
latest nolitical intelligence, national and in
ternational.
These are some of the peculiar merits of the
Index. Now, as to it ; advantages;
1. You have, combined, the theological, lit
erary, Sabbath school, political at.d agricultu
ral in our paper, all for Three Dollars.
2 The paper is centrally and eligib'v located
lor gathering till intelligence pertaining to our
Southern Zi>m.
3. its publishers have iheir own publication
house—hence the permanency of the enterprise.
Remember these advantages as well as mer
its. Do not let this opportunity pass to secure

THE DAILY AMERICAN.
XaMliville, TeiiiiesMee.
H E centralization of power in Washington,
and the control ol currupt combination ,
oi ihe day in the Government at various points
throughout the country to fleece the people <0
their hard earnings, lias justly excited ihe pub
lic. The unexampled policy of paying billions
of debt in gold, at a period ol general ,u;ni
tion in business; the disposition manifested,
if not to convert the government iuto an abso
lute monarchy, to reduce the free people of
America to absolute serfdom; the continual
cry of the tax gatherer; the building up of the
few at the expense of the many ; the excessive
inequalities ot burdens imposed by the Gov
ernment ou its own citizens, all of whom are
entitled to equal privileges; the results of all
these in tile general prostration of business al
io: and just cause for alarm. They afford also a
just cause lor a demand for a change m the
National administration of public affairs.
It is therefore the duty ol the Democracy,
which in its purity is the representative and
defender of the people, ami ot the people
themselves who are really the Democracy, to
correct the growing t\ils which threaten to
overwhelm all in common ruin. '1 here must
lie a change ot the National admini-tratiou
before there is either safety or real leforui.
This is the vitaiquestiou beiore the people.
The American is on the side of the people
and ol elinuge. it has its views and expresses
them from day to day, and while doing so
Iranklv and honestly, it also ‘.airly and as
fully as its space will’permit, gives the view s
and arguments of the other side. It claim;
nothing outside of the interests of the people,
ami seeks only’to iniorin them truthfully ol
all matters In which they themselves arc
mostly concerned.
On the eve oftlie Centennial of the Republic
undo! a Presidential campaign ot the greatest
moment to the people, it behooves the ton
servative and Democratic masses of this see
tion to supply themselves, in time, with pel it
ical news, (acts and general political informa
tion Irom the nearest central distributing
point. THE AMERICAN, issued from the cap
ital of Tennessee, qnd supplying as well, much
ol the territory ol Kentucky, Georgia nub Ala-
bama, is the only Daily Democratic journal
published within a radius of more than a hun
dred and fifty miles in which there are nearlv
if not quite a million ol people. It furnishes
to its readers, at heavy exuense, the full vol
ume of telegraphic reports of the Western As
sociated Tress, including the Congressional
proceedings of the most interesting session for
many years, in which the Demociats, tor the
lirst time since the war, have a majority in the
Lower Mouse and nearly half the members of
the Senate.
The season is rapidly approaching and near
at hand when will lie discussed political i-sue.s
affecting the National, and State elections of
1876. Tno Presidential election overshadows
all others in ils importance at this time, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions throughout the
Union. Though times may be hard, the very
occasion ot hard times is traceable to sources
w ith whie h the people ought to be acquainted,
■ind ot which i; is the mission of the Ameri
can to inform them, and we think it i> not in
opportune or immodest to ak the attention ol
the masses of the people iu its columns, which
will be always lull and reliable. The sugges
tion to Democrat- and Conservatives ol Tennes
see and States adjacent, to help extend its cir
culation and enlarge its sphere ol usclulness,
is the more confidently made in view of the
very grave political and financial questions
which are now agitating the public mind, and
which will enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine
the character of tile Government itself in the
future. The American lias jimleviatiugly
stood forth in defense of the Constitution, of
the rights of the State-, and of individual lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed by a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra
tion. it pledges itseii anew to devote all its
means and energies to political reform and the
rc-storatn nof the old landmarks and limita
tions of delegated authority and of the stand
ard ot official honor.
By a law oi Congress which wont into effect
on the first of January, 1575, the pitbii-heis oi
daily newspapers arc required at the time ol

the subscriber of the payment of postage at
the office ot delivery. Under this law the post

THE WEEKLY SUK

I EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
six is the Centennial year, it is al-o the
y ear in which an Opposition House of Repre
sentative;, tlie first since the w ar, will be in
power at Washington; and the year of a twen
ty-third election of a Presklent of the United
| States. Ail of these events are sure to be ol
I great interest and importance, especially the
two latter-, and all of them and every thing
-connected yvjth them will be frtelv ami’fresh
ly reported and expounded in THE SUN.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago
by THE SUN, yvill sternly and diligently in
vestigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant’s administration; and yvill, it i- to be
Hoped, lay the foundation for anew and better
period in our national history. Of all this
UIE.SUN yvill contain complete and accurate
. accounts, furnishing its readess with early
and trustworthy information these nb-orbing
topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election, yvilh
the preparations for it, yvill lie memo*aide as
deciding upon Grant’s aspirations ioi- a third
term ot poyver and plunder, and still more a;
deciding who shall he the party of Reform,
and as electing that candidate. Concerning
all these subjects, those who read THE SUN
yvill have the constant means of being thor
oughly yy ell informed.
THE WEEKLY SUX, which has attained a
circulation ol over eighty thousand copies, id
ready has its readers in every State and Terri
tory, and vve trust that the year 1676 will see
their numbers doubled. It yvill continue to be
a thorough newspaper. All the general nt-ws
oftlie day yvill be found in it, condensed when
unimport?nt. at ful'length yvhen ol moment;
and always, yve trust, treated in u clear, inter
esting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make THE WEEKLY SUN
the best family neivspaper in the world, and
yve shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, tales, poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which yve
are not able to make room in our daily edition.
The agricultural department especially is one
ol :t p'-ominent features. The fashions are
also regularly reported in its columns, and so
arc the markets of every kind.
THE WEEKLY SUN, eight pages, with fifty
six broad columns, is only one 61.20 a .year,
postage prepaid. As this prtve barely repays
the cost of the paper, no di-count can be marie
from this rate to clubs, agents, postmasters, or
anyone.
