PEBLISINU) WEEKLY BY
THOR L . OANT7\ F&Aor and Propr'or
Crawford da*, - * Sept’r 10,1875
*Tlk* btsarrection Trials.
Tire Savannah News says: On our
pnge this morning will be found h
Kilter from our correspondent at Sauders
v*lle, giving a history of the trial which
resulted in the acquittal of the negro Cor
day Harris, arraigned before the Supreme
< 'ourt of Washington county,charged with
being a leader in an attempt at insurrec
tion. The result of the trial was not un
expected to us, though the acquittal of the
prisoner,under the circumstaces, does not
change the opinion we entertained from
the first—that an insurrectionary demon
stration was contemplated, and was only
frustrated by accidental discovery and
the prompt and prudent action of the
officials and citizens of the counties
which were to be the scene of conflict.
It was easy to foresee the difficulty of ob
taining positive evidence sufficient to con
vict the subordinates who fell into the
hands of the authorities, while the prime
movers of the insane but devilish plot
had escaped. It was manifest, too, that
if a conviction were obtained it would be
under the strictest enforcement of the
rules of evidence by which all testimony
against the prisoner of an indirector cir
cumstantial Character would be excluded.
This was highly proper, and we are grat
ified to record the fact that notwithstand
ing the strong circumstances against the
negro Harris, and the prejudice which
his known connection with the principal
was calculated to excite
against him, he was accorded a fair, and
even more than an impartial trial, result
ing in his acquittal.
It is possible that in the excitement
natural under such circumstances, this
affair has been somewhat exaggerated.
Tut that there was a bungling and inco
herent plot to inaugurate a disturbance
which might have led to a serious con
flict between the races, none who have
investigated the facts can doubt Though
the real culprits have escaped for the
present, the affair has not been without
good results. While it will teach the
would-be leaders of the negroes that all
such attempts are futile, that they will
lx? promptly met and suppressed by the
whites, it should convince the well dis
posed—in which class we include the
■large majority of the negroes of Georgia
—of the forbearance and justice of the
whites, and the folly of listening to the
insane counsels of the ignorant and evil
disposed negroes or worse whites, who
would beguile them into mischief and
descTt them in the hour of trouble.
There is quite a commotion in the
world at this time. In Spain the civil
war drags its slow length along ; in San
Domingo, the negroes are again on the
point of cutting each other’s throats ;
South America and Mexico are always
in eruption locally; a “ holy war” against
Russia is being preached in Khokand and
Turkestan ; the Sclavio tribes are gird
ling Turkey about with many dangers ;
Cuba is not yet suppressed ; the contemp
tible Tripolitans have virtually kicked
out an American consul, with corcodile
apologies ; and China has recently in
dulged in pranks which may, at any mo
mekt, draw down upon her the vengeance
of Great Britain. Millions of armed men
in.. Europe are ready,at a moment’s warn
ing, to assail each other at the bidding
of ambitious princes ; and, all in all, the
prospect of the millennium is not prom
ising. While all of these wonderful
events are transpiring, not to speak of
the startling progress of science, the po
litical excitement in the United States,
the financial disturbance in many quar
ters of the globe, and a thousand matters
of interest, many men in the South areas
ignorant of current events as if they
dwelt in the Middle Ages, instead of the
19th century with its electric telegraph,
rapid transit and cheap newspapers.
They have an imitator of Jessie Pome
roy in San Francisco. He is but ten
yeas of age, and has already developed a
disposition to torture young children and
animals. He skinned a dog alive, and
inveigling a child three years old into a
barn, cut off its right ear with a bone,
and inflicted nineteen other wounds up
on it. He has been lodged in the Indus
trial School.
The dispatches this week officially
settle the California election. The Dem
ocrats elected the Mayor and a majority
of the municipal ticket of San Francisco,
the Governor and the rest of the State
ticket, and in the line of Congressman
made a clean sweep.
Jefferson Davis couldn’t accept Mr.
James Redpath’s invitation to lecture in
Boston on a specified date the coming
season, but it is quite probable he will
.speak there at some other time during
the next few months.
The story of the Charley Ross abduc
tion being a put-up job has been revived.
This time Mrs. Ross and the Philadel
phia Chief of Police are accused as the
principals.
GEO. A. OATES.
During a recent trip to Augusta, we
called on this pleasant and agreeable
gentleman. It is always a treat to spend
a while with him, for his kind and
jovial manner wins one at sight. He has
one of the largest and finest book-stores
in the State, and always keeps on hand a
splendid stock. He is agent |gr the most
approved makes of pianos, etc.,
which he will sell to our citizens at man
ufacturer’s prices. In chromos and pic
tures, be has a splendid assortment. In
all manner of framing, gilding, restoring
and repairing pictures, his facilities can
not be surpassed in the South. But this
latter department is presided over by
Mr. George C. Gates, a most pleasant
and agreeable young man, who is also
prepared to tune pianos in a most satis
factory manner. In a future issue we
will speak of a “ tramp” through this es
tablishment, including a description of
paintings, not larger than a dinner-plate,
worth SSOO ; books over 200 years old,
and many other articles of virtu. But
this time we will Only say to those chur
ches that want organ ; schools that want
books ; families that want any kind of
musical instrument, picture or mirror;
and the merchant that wants a stock of
books or stationery, that they cannot buy
of a cleverer or more reliable man than
George A. Oates, 240 Broad st., Augusta.
DBS. W. M. & J. L. DURHAM.
The advertisement of these clever gen
tlement and eminent physicians, of Max
ey’s, will appear in our next. Some of
our most pleasant moments, during our
recent visit to their town, were spent in
their society.
Mrs. Beecher set a bad fashion. A
minister’s wife at Danby Borough, Vt.,
emulated it, and sat in the court-room
while her husband was being tried for
immoral conduct. She had to listen to
a full confession from the young lady
implicated. The minister’s name is G.
W. Porter, and he is a Methodist.
—A negro committed a nameless out
rage on a white lady in Clayton county
one day this week.
—The rust has got in the cotton in
Troup county, which causes—or ought to
cause the LaGrange Reporter to remark :
“ Put not your t-rust in cotton.”
—ln Georgia they put women to hard
labor in chain gangs on the canals and
roads, side by side with male criminals.
It is denounced as a degrading spectacle.
—The Northern Methodist, with their
glory-to-God-political circus tent, are
nipodroming around through Georgia
sowing the seeds of sedition in the simple
minds of the negioes.
—The drouth continues. We have
had no rains in Georgia for ten or twelve
days. Grass is rapidly dying out, and
our forests are beginning to show evident
signs of decaying foliage.
—Thus the LaGrange Reporter ; “ You
citizens of Troup county who have been
so indignant at the treatment received by
Jefferson Davis from the Winnebagoes,
remember that you get your meal and
meat from those people, This is more
to be lamented than the insult to Mr.
Davis.”
—Blakely News: About three years
ago a sow in this town brought a litter of
five pigs, four of which came into the
world with the ear marks of themolher—
a staple fork in each ear and upperbit in
the right—as distinct and plain as if done
with a knife. One only of the litter,and
that a marked one, li\ ed to be grown,
—A dispatch from Conyers, Ga,, re
ports that James T. Heard attempted rape
on two daughters of Mrs. Chamberlain,
aged nine and eleven. The girls escaped
from the room and reported the outrage.
Heard was beaten severely by Chamber
lain and afterwards confined in jail.
Heard denies the charge. He was re
leased on a $5,000 bond.
— The Jefferson (Jackson county) For =■
est News says Miss Jane Davis, of that
county, died on the 22d of August, aged
19 years. She had never spoken a word;
never had any use of her limbs; could
never partake of any food, except as it
was given to her from a teaspoon ; had
not set up in bed twelve months previous
to her death and never weighed exceed
ing 25 pounds.
Mariette Remy, a beautiful girl,
who had led rather a gay life, died in Par
is the other day. She was known among
her friends as Opal, from the fact that
she always wore a handsome opal neck
lace. This necklace was given her by
her first lover, who, at the time, said i
“ You know that opals are gems which
live. My fate is inseparable from these.
When you see them become dull aad die,
I too shall be at the point of death,”
One day they thought they were tired of
each other and they separated. But after
he had gone Mariette found that her love
for him was still ardent, and she sought
to recall him. It was too late, he had
left the country. She consoled herself,
however, looking at her necklace and
saying : “ The opal still lives, I shall see
him again.” But about a month since
the opals began to grow dull; then, one
by one, they lost all their lustre, and be
came dead. A few days ago but one re
mained, and that gave only a faint re
flection. “He is about to die,” thought
Mariette. She fell into profound melan
choly, and said : “ Then I, too, must
die.” And when one evening the last
opal gave the last gleam, she took poison
and died. The same day this telegram
from Luehon reached * Paris; “ Paul
Borday, ill here for some time back, died
yesterday.” Paul Borday was Mariette’s
lover.
Columbus knows no more about Hon
duras now than she did before, because
Mr. Allison did not lecture. There was
no audience.

NOT ENCOURAGING.
Oglethorpe Cos., Ga., Sept. 5.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo:
I have noticed frequent appeals to
planters and correspondents generally,
in your paper, to give sketches of any
thing transpiring iu the way of news, or
as regards the prospects of crops, etc.,
aud from week to week, we have news
through your columns of the good, re
freshing shov ere of rain here and there,
and of this crop and that of another, and
so on, being fine. It was really encourag
ing to us farmers to hear so much good
news as to fine crops, etc. But now, the
time must change a little, I think, at
least, so far as this section is concerned,
(the southern portion of the county), for
of all the dry weather, and hot weather
this year, we are now having it to ex
cess ; and the effect is more disastrous
than at any previous time this season, es
pecially as regards the cotton crop. In
addition to this, the rust is spreading it
self over a large portion of this part of
the county, damaging the cotton crop
very seriously, to say nothing of the pea
and other crops which may be injured by
it. As the time is now at hand when
farmers should be preparing their lands
for the next year’s crop, especially the
corn crop, together with the small grain
crops, which should be the most impor
tant to us. I may at another time, soon,
indulge in giving you a few’ thoughts and
reflections, as regards these crops ; pro
vided it is agreeable to you and your
space will allow it.
Truly yours, Occasional.
We would be delighted to hear from
the writer often. —Ed. Echo.
A CARD.
The undersigned beg leave to return
their heartfelt thanks to all those w r ho
have so promptly and generously minis
tered to their necessities, occasioned by
the late calamity, w r hich, in one sad
hour, converted their home and its con
tents into ashes. Whilst language is ut
terly inadequate to give expresssion to
their feelings of profound gratitude, and
they can never hope to repay these bene
factors in kind, they can only say,
“ their hearts will leap kindly back to
kindness,” and trust that He, who has
said it was more blessed to give than to
receive, will repay them in good measure,
pressed down and shaken together, and
running over.
