VOL. IX.—NO. 35. The County Jail. The attempt of the prisoners in the county jail to escape lasl Tues.. i day night, was the occasion of call-. J intr public attention to the unsafe, j unsightly and unhealthy condition . of our house of detention. The 1 black hole of Calcutta was not a j more unwholesome place than the i Hamilton j iil. A fearful bility rests upon our county it the evil is not remedied at once. It is too loathesome a place to confine those who has been convicted of crime. Every instinct of humanity cries out against its use as a prison for those whom the law presumes to be innocent. >Vo are aware that grand juries have often called attention to its filthy condition, but we do not be¬ hove that the jailor is blamable with this. Any sanitarian must know that it would require great and constant labor to keep the sweat box of the prison from emit ing its wonted stench, when occu¬ pied by three or four filthy men. There is no ventilation aud no light. No cne can enter it and say it is not a disgrace to humanity to iBe such a prison. The blame oi the disgrace does not attach to any officer of the county. It is no fault of the Sher¬ iff He lias a careful jailer, who does what he can io alleviate the sufferings of the prisoners. The county commissione s are not to hlnme, for they need a public sen¬ timent to back them lu such a large undertaking as the ereclion of a new jail- The blame lies upon the people of Harris county. They disgrace their clirisliacitv and hu¬ manity in not demanding the erec¬ lion of a new building which can be kept in a decent condition and in which decent people might be de¬ tained. It is time we were waking up on the suhj -ct. Let us hive a lull discussion ot it. If there is one apologist, of the present affair we offer him space in our columns to to defend the county. As we view it there is no defence, Wa invito others to speak on the suhj ct. Out columns are open to all. The growth and prosperity of America are making a profound nnd doubtless lasting impression upon rite educated classes of En¬ gland. Of late the rush <.f British capital into all descriptions of American investments has been immense. These are principally railways, banking, insurance, and commercial business. But nuw there are unmistakec indications of a movement among the higher mid¬ dle class in England that point to the settlement of regularly organ ¬ ized British communities in the western and southern states.

HAMILTON, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,188l. A Pertinent Query. An advocate of the bill for a new capitol at Atlanta, which happily met with defeat last week, urged the point tnat there is nearly halt a million dollars lying idle in the State treasury. An opponent of the bill asked the very pertinent query:—Can’t we reduce taxation and call on this sum to meet the de¬ fieit? It is well enough tor the state to have a reserve iund in her treasury, that she may not be compelled to resort to tempo! ary loans to meet contingencies, but ive should think half a million dollars loo much for this purpose. And when we re¬ member that this sum has accumu¬ lated in a few years, that the valua<> lion of property has increased thirty million of dollars since tho passage of the last tax act, while the expen¬ ses oi the stale government have bee i and are continually diminish¬ ing by cancellation of the bonded debt, the question of a reduction of the tax rate seems to demand at¬ tention. Senator Hill’s Condition. Atlanta Constitution. Tite people of Georgia will re¬ gret to learn that the trouble with Mr. Hill’s tongue has necessitated his return to Philadelphia. Upon the spot from which the old cancer was taken a few clays ago, appeared a white granulation about the size of the finger nail. He asked for an examination of this at the hands of Dr. \V. F. Westmoreland. Dr. Westmoreland stated that it was best for him to return to Philadel¬ phia at once, that Dr. Gross, w ho hud performed the first operation, might examine his bis tongue. Mr. llill left on Wednesday evening, and on yesterday afternoon Mr. 13. II. Hill, Jr., received a telegiaiti slating that another operation was necessary and would be performed on Monday. He will leave the oily Jo-day for Philadelphia, where he w ill join his fat lief and remain with him until he is able to leave for home. The news will sadden tho hearts of thousands through the Staidt and all will join m the pray¬ er that tiffs operation may effect a final cure. Mr. Davis’ liool: Selling Well. New York Evening Post. In regard to a report c -piid a few days ago from a Southern pa¬ per that the sale of Jiff D 'Vis’ book ‘‘has been slower in the South than in the North and West,” the Mes¬ srs. Appleton write to u-: “The sale of Mr. Davis’ ‘Rise and Fall of Confederate Government’ baa been remarkably large in tbeSomh, and much better there than In the North. Twenty thousand sets were delivered in the Southern States vt itiiin twelve weeks from the day of its publication; and al¬ though the hot weather has tempo¬ rarily poraewhat checked it, we have a large t umber of subscrip tionf for delivery early in the au¬ tumn, so that eventually the sale will greatly exceed the number mentioned. When it ts remember¬ ed that the work is published in two larare octavo volumes at the price of $10, it will be seen that the sale even to this period ha- been very in fact, we believe it to be wholly unprecedented.” , Gold Excitement. Ellijay (Ga.) Courier.] The Eastern portion of the conn ly is in almost a fever of excitement over the di-covery, on tlie planta¬ tion of Spencer Burrell, of a depos¬ it ot gold bearing quartz which is said surpasses in richness anything ever discovered in the cour t-'. Tho ore vein was found b_v Bluford Bearden and Bob Kin caid at the head of a branch east and just be Mr. Burrell’s liou?e.

Chatbarp, the regular Atlanta cor¬ respondent of the Savannah News, writes his paper as follows concern¬ ing legislative matters. The finance committee reports in favor of turning’ the dog law question over to a vote of the peo¬ ple, This is the only way it can ever be settled. The same committee reports in favor of a new Code, and recom¬ mends the one now being prepared by Judge George N. Lester, the Hon.Walter 13. Hill, and Mr. liow ell. It is surprising to sec the House waste, ns it frequently does, half an hour over a little matter which might by judicious action he dispos ed of in five minutes at tho very longest. Yet this thing seems hard to suppress. In the senate there are twenty four fanners,, fifteen lawyers, five doctors, one merchant, one school teacher, and one steam saw null proprietor, At this tola! makes makes forty-seven, and there are only forty-four Senators, it is ne¬ cessary to slate that three of the Senators are in two kinds ct bus mess, and 1 credit each business with a full representative. Only one senator—McDaniel-*- was re¬ elected; all the others are now men.! I am indebted to lion. W. II. Harrison, of JStewart, the efficient and amiable Assistant Clerk, for the following statement of the bus¬ iness of the house yesterday noon. Total hills and resolutions introduc¬ ed in Hie house to date: Resolutions 129, bills 1050. Total 117-9. House bills now on hand for third reading 139; tor second reading (favorably reported). 50, for second reading (adversely reported) 191. on tlie table 31, will) senate amend¬ ments 5, )n the hands of committees 208. Total 621. This total shows an immense amount of voik still on hand to lie completed. Senate htiis in House for firs! read¬ ing 5, for second reading V, for third reading 20, resolutions 13, in hands of committees 18, total 03 Seme of these bills, say 15, are to appropriate money, and will have to be considered by the house in committee ot the whole, and if fa¬ vorably consideied, passed by a call ot the yeas and nays, all of w hich will occupy consult ruble nine. For this reason, as well as others, not necessary to mention, I think an ndjontnmcnt on the 29th, will leave considerable business not finished. After Mr Barrow, of Clarke, had pictured in glowing language the terrible condition of the present capitol building, Mr. Jom-s, of Ba.. ker, offered the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, the rafters that stipnori the root of tnis building have lost their grip, and, whereas, the shoul¬ ders on the [dates are known to be split off: and, u hereas, cr ac ks of alarming size are said to exist in the walls: and, whereas, the gen etal condition of the building is manifestly such as greatly to en¬ danger the lives and limbs of mem¬ therefore bo it “Resolved, The Senate concur¬ ring, that this Genral Assembly do now adjourn sine die.” Of course this was tiealed ns a yet it had no little to do with defeating tne bill for a new capitol If a new one is commenced at once, the old one must of necessity be used for at least five years. Mr. Barrow’s woeful account of its condition was, therefore, inappro¬ priate. We learn from the Oo’umbas Enqui-er that Mr. T.

Washington, S pte’«ber 3.—The following telegram was received at the War Department this morning by Acting Adjutant General Mo Keevur, trora Gen. McDowell, dal* d September 2: “The following was received from the commanding General id tlie Department of Arizona, dated to.day; Tiffany telegraphs a re¬ port from ihe sub agency that an Indian named Mickey brought.word that a number of chiefs m o coming in with their bands, hut that Pedro, wi'h all Ins band and others, are on the war path; that Carr’s command, including himself and other officers and sixt y-four enlisted men, were killed day before yesterday; also that Pedro had killed seven or eight men, including an expressman, be¬ tween Apache and Thomas. We have no word from Apache, The line is down and tho wire cut. Bid¬ dle wits at work yestoiday and last night getting troops across the Gila with difficulty, pushing for Apache.” A di spatth received from Gen\. oral Wilcox Uii.s morning says that he has received news that a few of G neral Carr’s command escaped at Cubic creek, which is forty miles west of Fort Apache. Those who escaped are lighting their way to Fort Apache, but their Miccoss is doubtful. Piedro’s band nil nuked Fort Apache, but the c -mniunder of the department thinks that lie mu-'t have been repulsed. Sm Francisco, September 5.—A dispatch from Tucson, Arizona, says: Gen. Carr was in command of the Garrison of Fort Apache, con Mstmg of two companies of iho sixth cavalry and one of infantry. After leaving sufficient to protect tlus puli lie property at Apache he had but G3 enh-ted men, of the sixth caval¬ ry and five officers. A medicine man, who was at the bottom of the trouble, had been for some weeks past predicting to the White moun¬ tain Indian that when corn was ripe he would raise all their dead chiefs 'and the - whiles would he driven out of their country. TIiih was sufficient to warrant the cot: elusion ihat preparations wore be¬ ing made by site tribe to break out as soon as they had gathered tin-if harvests. Gen. Carr was ordered to im -t the medicine man. lie doubted his ability to do so with so small a force againt the whole tribe, who had been worked up to i he belief that I heir medicine man would raise up their dead chiefs. The circumstances attending the massacre were such that it could hardly have been avoided. An outbreak had been feared, and for the last two weeks in tlio Apache country settlers have been predict¬ ing trouble. There are not less than ten thousand Indians on Iho San Carlos reservation and fully as many in the Navajo tribe which is loot ted from GO to 100 miles north of the country of iho White Moun¬ tain tithe, A large number of young bucks of both ilic San Carlos and Navajo tribes have been visit¬ ing White Mountains tec-fitly and i>, is Believed they were engaged in the fight. It is reported by rn.. rnoi s that the fight con inurd all day oi the 30h. Every hill and cannon was swarming with Imli ans. A disnutcb from Gen. Carr, giv¬ ing nil account of the attempted massacre, shows that the loss «'.‘ih not as severe as first stated, ile gives the following account to Gen eral Mel) iwell. “Pursuant to or¬ ders from the commanding general, dated Aug. 30, to arrest the Indian | Dr. Nockay D< Klinnc, as soon as i practicable, and a formal request from the sigen’, dated 14th, to ar-. rest nr kill him, or both, I first hoped to arrest, him when be came to bold his danneaand incantations, but he did not keep It,s appoint "tents.

Four priv¬ ates were killed, and one sergeant and three privates wounded—two mortally. After burying the dead I returned as rapid y ns practicable, arriving on the 31st. Some of the Indians had proceeded and killed eight men. Oa the road to Thomas Iho next morning they made a demonstration against this post nnd attacked it in the afternoon, but were repulsed.
