We have been informed that trains are now running from Lula to Harmony Grove. Track laying is progressing, and the Athenians are now “hope up” very much in anticipation of a “snort” from the “iron horse.” The Gubernatorial Outlook. The Columbus Enquirer says. “General Colquitt is gaining popularity faster than any of the candidates. The prospect is certainly most encouraging that he will be nominated on the first ballot in the convention. This, of course, is equivalent to an election. A nobler, purer gentleman never lived. lie is brave, true, honest. Whatever station he has been called to fill—whether in the council of the nation, or on the battle-field, he has proved himself a true sou of the Empire State of the South, faithful to every trust. ‘lie is a platform in himself.’ The thieves, as du ring the present administration, will be kept from the treasury and bogus bondholders give up the contest in despair.” The Same Story Everywhere. Speaking of the “prostrate condition” of bnsiness atfairs, the Macon Telegraph <s♦ Mes senger says : “ Let all people and places who feel their condition particularly cramped, remember that all others feel the same way. There is no exception in any part of the United States. All business is prostrate everywhere, and all people who have no past accumulations to draw upon are suffering great inconvenience and anxiety. He is fortunate who is able to command a decent subsistence, and he is foolish who indulges in a chronic discontent because lie can do no better. Nothing better can be done until the restoration of a general equilibrium. Taxes and expenses have to come down, and the spirit of idleness, ex travagance, luxury, speculation and fraud must be exorcised. Providence is instruct ing the people on the subject of an honest in dustry and frugality in such a way that few can evade the force of the lesson.” — ♦ ii > The Arrest of Bullock. During the last few years—to the constant inquiry as to why the citizens of Georgia were (and are still) so oppressively taxed, the reply .of the friends of this system of ex tortion and oppression has been, that Bullock and his crew stole everything they could lay hands on. and that now, tax-payers had to foot the bill. Well, whether this is true or not, we have no time or space to discuss at present. Suffice it to say, Bullock has been brought face to face with his accusers. Gen tlemen whose names are emblazoned on the highest “ niche” in the legal temple—some of them aspirants for still higher honors— are named as his chief defenders upon the grave charge of robbing the whole people of the State. Atlanta's favorite and most wealthy and prominent citizens have come forward, voluntarily, and signed his bond 1 And the simple inquiry which suggests itself to the mind is, “What will come of allthis ?” The Augusta Chronicle # Sentinel says “Nothing !” The telegraph informs us (says that paper in speaking on the subject,) that wealthy and respectable citizens of “both parties” rushed to his rescue ; and the robber Governor is at liberty, while the ignorant ne gro who stole a sheep or robbed a hen roost is at work on the chain gang. Now that Bul lock has bceu caught it may be asked what will be done with him ? We answer as we did concerning his confederate in crime, Fos ter Blodgett, nothing, absolutely nothing. He will not be tried, convicted or punished. Bullock, like Blodgett, has a box of papers and a breast full of secrets damaging to Dem ocrats, and the slaves of the Box will see to it that the papers are not' opened or the se crets revealed. There are too many men wlk> were beggars for office at his hands when he was in power and who offered to support him and his administration if their requests were granted. There are too many Demo crats who were willing partners in his cor ruption and wore the collar of the ring. These will see to it that the fugitive goes free. The case will Ik> continued from term to term, witnesses will disappear, records will be de stroyed, the changes will be rung upon the inexpediency and impolicy of bringing a criminal to justice on the eve of a State and a National election, and the fugitive will either not be tried at all or else the mockery of a -trial will he succeeded by a verdict of “not gtwkv,” and the Democracy of Georgia will be put io the shameful attitude of having persecuted and driven .rom the State, for political purposes, an innocent man ! Correspondence of the Forest News. From the Federal Capital. Washington, D. C., May 20. 1876. TIIE OHIO CONVENTION. Avery general feeling of regret is express ed in Washington, to-day, over the defeat of Thurman in Ohio, yesterday, because it has taken him otf the list of possible Presidential candidates. If Mr. Thurman had carried his own State, he would have gone before the convention with a strength that might have resulted in his nomination. The Democratic party does not possess a man better calcula ted to inspire enthusiasm in his own party, or to command the respect of his opponents, than Mr. Thurman. And the Democratic party will not willingly see its best men shelved in a local conflict, when on the eve of a National contest so vital in its results as this will be. We want the vote of Ohio in the coming Presidential election, if we can get it. If we carry New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, we can elect a Democratic President without Ohio and Indiana; but those States belong to the Democracy, and we ought to have their aid. No man was better calculated to insure it than Thurman. No western man could command greater strength in the East, and it should be re membered that if we carry Ohio and Indiana, and lose New York, New Jersey and Con necticut, we shall bo defeated, even though we carry every Southern State. This is the line of argument one hears on every side to day ; and particularly among Southern men. who say : “We ask nothing except that the North shall give us a candidate we can elect, and we believe that Administrative Reform is the issue upon which the campaign must be fought.” ANOTHER RADICAL HOWL Is raised because a number of white citizens in Louisiana pursue and shoot down a gang of murderous negroes who riddle an unoffend ing man with bullets. It seems utterly im possible for the Republicans of the North to see more than one side in the cases of disor der between the whites and blacks in the South. Ruled over as the whites are in some sections of the South by unprincipled carpet b:ig adventurers and ignorant, brutal negroes, it is easy for a right thinking man. of either party, to see how natural it is for the intelli gent and respectable people of the South to be occasionally goaded into a state of des peration by their vicious oppressors, and to endeavor to shake off their galling fetters. A KNOTTY QUESTION Is that of jurisdiction in the Belknap impeach ment case now before the House. This is the first case in the history of the government where this important point has come up for decision ; and the Senators have evidently made up their minds to fully discuss the sub ject, before finally disposing of it. It would be unsafe to predict the result of their delib erations. Had Babcock been out of office before his malfeasance had been discovered, the Senate would undoubtedly have decided at once that it possessed no jurisdiction ; but, resigning as he did, for the sole purpose of escaping impeachment, it is thought that bod}* will insist upon trying him. All of the sessions of the Senate are in secret; and, consequently, it is impossible, at present, to know the views taken by different Senators. A Touching Letter— An Exception to the General Rule. We have often heard the remark—and with some surprise too —that in their judg ments. passed on the conduct of their own sex. women were far more harsh and unre lenting than men. There is an old maxim, however, that there arc exceptions to all rules ; and if we may be permitted to give an opinion, the following touching epistle covers one of those “exceptions.” The letter is from an anonymous correspondent, and was received by the victim of the Rev. (?) C. A. Kendrick a few days after the celebrated tie noument. The penmanship and composition show it the product of a cultivated lady. We publish it (says the Columbus Enquirer,) with the permission of the father: West Point, May 3, 1876. Miss Fannie Bush: My Dear Unknown Sister —l, who have taken the liberty to write to you. am a woman, ’with a woman’s heart; and a mother, with a mother’s heart. Then, you will not think it strange when I tell you that I read the history of your mis fortune to a number of mothers, some of whom shed tears; and we all deeply sympa thize with you, and send this to express our pity, accompanied with sincere words of ad vice and consolation. Many people, and all libertines, will try to consign you to a life time of infamy. Many seem to think, yea believe, there is no hope for a female who has lost her chastity. Not so. my child. Your Savior did not allow an erring woman to be condemned by those equally guilty; and He will not permit you to be, always re membering you are to sin no more. Now, my child, we here do not want your young life blasted beyond hope by one who steals the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in. We know that the tempters will come in ev ery form to lure and deceive you ; you may look for it and you will find it often where you least expect it, and in a way that you had not thought of; in short, you will be re garded by many as legitimate prey, until you prove yourself proof against such, which I hope and trust, with truest wishes and pray ers that you will resolve to do. Your only hope for happiness here and hereafter is in making and sacredly keeping that resolve, despite every temptation, every bluff, every taunt, every slight. Look for these, and de termine to rise above all, come what will; and depend on it, that all the good people, male and female, all that would under any circumstances , benefit yon, will sympathize with you and help you. There are many ex amples where girls at a certain age have been led astray, reformed, taken back into society, lived and died respectable and happy. That, at best, is the best you can hope for. Now in the name of woman. American and South ern women, we beg you to be guided by good people, who do not flatter nor pretend, but will reach far to do you all the good possible. We don't want to east you off, but that is with you. God help you ! Oh! do disap point those who would revel in your ruin. With prayer that you may live an upright, Christian life, I am, your sister and friend, Annie . C sorry are we to learn of the death of Mr. Brit. Ware, of Athens. Air.

Rufus B. Bullock in Georgia. The Atlanta Constitution of the 19th inst., gives the particulars of the arrest, in the State of New York, and the conveying back to his "stamping ground” of several years, of Rufus B. Bullock, (so-called) Governor of Georgia. lie was brought back by an agent of the State, Mr. Owen P. Fitzsimmons, of Augusta, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff J. Clark, of New York. Deputy Sheriff Clark was reticent as to the arrest of Bullock. He expressed the belief that Gov. Bullock would have returned vol untarily if requested to do so. Capt. Fitzsimmons, who went on after Gov. Bullock, informed us that he had no difficulty in bringing Mr. Bullock, and exercised no duress over him. While he had ample power to enforce the requisition, he made no exhi bition of it, because it was unnecessary. He speaks in high terms of the promptness and courtesy of Gov. Tilden, of New York, and the ample manner in which he supported him. Ex-Gov. Bullock seems to have been well kept, and appears in finer physical condition than ever before. He is reticent as to the present aspect of affairs. There arc several indictments against him, obtained in Fulton Superior Court. One is for cheating and swindling in connection with the Tennessee Car Company. The company is said to have had no existence, and to have obtained $10,512 41 from the State Road. The testimony before the legislative inves tigating committee was rich and racy on this point. The Ex-Governor was arrested on two bench warrants, and his bond fixed at $13,- 000 in the aggregate. He gave bond promptly. We learn that Messrs. J. T. Grant, Tom Alexander, R. Peters, J. C. Peck and B. Con ley went on his bond to appear before the Superior Court and answer the charge. Gov. Bullock is defended by Judge McCay Gen. Gartrell. For the Forest News. Native Grass. Mr. Editor :—Seventy-five years ago, this country was a good grazing country ; why is it not now ? It is not because the seasons are not the same, nor because the soil has un dergone a change ; or, as has generally been supposed, that the stock has eat out the range. We are told by the oldest citizens (or the first settlers) that the grass in the woods was knee high in 1800, and for some time after that. Stock of every kind could not only live eight or ten months of the year, but would keep fat. Our first settlers depended on the range sometimes to feed their work stock. After working a horse all day, they would bell and turn out at night, and by that means they were enabled to make a crop without Western corn or hay. There is a reason, sir, for all this. Let us look at the surrounding circumstances seven ty-five years ago, and compare them with the present, and see if we cannot find thftNMfcuse of the barrenness of the wild lands, of which we have so much. The Indians had just left this part of the country then. They made it their business to burn the woods every year, for hunting purposes, but by that means they kept the undergrowth and leaves burned out; and that, I think, is the reason the grass grew so well then, and why it is so poor now. The grass has ceased to grow not because the stock has eat it out. Whoever heard of a few stock eating the grass, root and branch, on thou sands of acres of lands ? No, sir ; our peo ple have ceased to burn their waste lands, until the leaves and bushes have smothered the grass, root and branch. This is not all the bad effects of the present system. They now raise instead of grass, snakes, reptiles, insects, such as ticks, hessian fly, and hun dreds of other insects which are injurious to agricultural pursuits. It is said that the chestnut trees, of which we once had so many, have been killed by worms which have bred in the beds of leaves, and from there have bored into the roots of the trees, These trees have been the most valuable of all our forest trees; they make the most durable Tails of any timber, and the fruit of this tree was no small item in its day. Still, sir, there are other reasons why the woods should be burn ed every year. We are told that when this country was new, that newly cleared lands were at least 25 per cent, more productive for grain than at present. We are also told that (he ground was so soft in those days that you could track man or beast wifTTßuTtlotle difficulty, by the foot-prints in the ground.— This softening of the ground I think was caused by the decay of the grass roots every year, which kept the ground pulverized as deep as they penetrated. New land was not then so full of grubs and roots as at present. There are many other good reasons why we should burn our lands ever}' year, but the above is sufficient. U. Know. Editor Forest News:— The Christian church is well able to raise the $50,000 to Bethany College's indebtedness. Bethany College, in common with nearly all other like institutions, feel the pressure of the present hard times. One thing certain, it will never pass out of the hands of the Christian church. The College and endowment is worth $300,- 000, and we have one member in Georgia to day, who will willingly pay $20,000 before that time-honored institution should be sold for $50,000. And further, our brethren in the West are raising SI,OOO every week to pay off that indebtedness. A correspondent of the Christian Standard intimated that it might pass out of our hands, is the sole cause of the false report, and his object was to stir our brethren to raise the money. The principal cause of its present embar rassment, is its philanthropy. That College educated all preachers’ sons without money and without price, and all young men wish ing to enter the ministry, regardless of the sect to which they or their parents belong. It’s true, it was founded b}' Air. Campbell, as stated in your valuable paper, a great and a good man. Please publish the above, and oblige, R. B. Cox. May 22d, 1876'. For the Forest News. G. R. Duke Answers “Beppo’s” Question. Mr. Editor :—“ Beppo” still writes, and so must I. He began his political career in Jackson county as a bushwhacker under an assumed name. llis allusions to me person ally, in his first communication in the News of April 11th, were offensive, insulting and ungentlemanly. Had he confined himself to the discussion of the temperance question, our unpleasant controversy would not have occurred. Instead, however, of pursuing this manly course, he took occasion in the very outset to attempt to cast odium upon me.— His style, his manner of alluding to me, to say nothing of his unfounded statements, were, as I believe he intended them to be, in the highest degree offensive to me personally, and now for “Beppo” to-complain of ray per sonal allusions to him, and call me a “bush whacker,” when he alone, securely hid and disguised under a nom de plume, is the real bushwhacker —caps the climax of impudence, and would make any one, save “ Beppo,” blush with shame. Beginning with his first letter to the News, he has persistently indulged in the use of words, terms and phrases at once offensive and insulting, and though still fighting as a bushwhacker, he shall not escape without the just and righteous punishment lie has brought upon himself as an impenitent, and therefore unpardonable transgressor. I have read of men who made fortunes by attending to their own business, and when “Beppo,” whose habits may have been migratory, again locates, he would do well to heed the wise lesson. It is not to my public acts as a legislator al luded to by “ Beppo” that I object, but the mode and manner of the allusion. The time is passed when I will permit such allusions as those indulged in by “Beppo,” and never shall it be said to my children, “ Your father brooked an insult without resenting it,” even though that insult come from one of “Bep po’s” cloth. Ile intended to wound, to bruise, vea, to kill; but, fortunately for me, hid as he icas behind, a masque-battery , he was armed only with pop-guns, with which he kept up an incessant popping, vainly imagining in his mad insanity that he was firing real En field rifles, or maybe heavy artillery. Nobody hurt, nobody wounded, except the incognito “ Beppo” himself, whose face, visage and countenance are much bespattered and black ened, the painful result of the bursting of one of his pop-gons in his own hands. As “ Bep po” lives, moves and lias his being incog, I do not recognize his right to propound ques tions to me. Besides, lam a private indi vidual, and I cannot conceive what interest he or any one else could feel with regard to my views on the question of temperance. I thought everybody knew I had always been the friend of temperance. Asa member of the Legislature, my votes are recorded and speak for themselves. I refer “ Beppo” to my record ; it speaks for itself; can easily be proven to be consistent, and by it I am willing to be judged. The policy of legislating upon the subject of temperance at all, except in desperate cases requiring a desperate remedy, is, in the opinion of some of the wisest, best and purest men of the State, a matter of very grave doubt.. Let the friends of temperance not lose confi dence in moral suasion. If they attempt stringent measures, they may lose that which they already have in actual possession. Let the friends of temperance remember 1855, when B. IT. Overby, a good and true man, was nominated as the temperance candidate for Governor. lie received only about six thou sand votes. Governor 11. V. Johnson was elected by about three thousand majority over both his competitors, Mr. Overby and Judge Andrews. The temperance movement was at that time thoroughly organized. Lodges of Sons of Temperance and Knights of Jericho were found in every city, town, village and country neighborhood. Mr. Overby' was a good speaker, personally popular, and can vassed the whole State. lie was overwhelm ingly- defeated ; the temperance cause began to wane as a result of the blunder, and lias never recovered from the blow. Would not the friends of temperance do well to heed this historical lesson, and he content with the present general Local Op tion Act ? As high tariffs encourage smug gling, so stringent, tyrannical and undemo cratic laws, that have not the hearty sanction of the people, will be constantly and per sistently violated. This accounts for the numerous violations of the U. S. Internal Revenue laws ; the people regard them as un just, iniquitous and tyrannical, and deem it no transgression to violate them. And so it will be with any laws that may be enacted intend ed to promote the interest of temperance, if deemed more stringent than the present gen eral Local Option Act. It is sufficiently strin gent ; is popular with the people because dem ocratic in its principles, leaving the question with the people, where it rightly belongs.— Touch it not; let it alone. No other county lias the right to vote or speak for Jackson county in such an issue. The people of Jack son county have the right to speak for them selves, but no right to speak for any other county. Harmony Grove has not the right even to speak for the people of the Jefferson District. Each District speaks for itself, and not for another. This is just, right, equitable and democratic. And I must be candid enough to say, as a private citizen, having no political aspira tions, that to compel every man to pay the extravagant prices charged by druggists for medicinal liquors is neither just nor righteous. I go to my merchant, who is perchance a good church-member, and purchase a gallon of gin for the small sum of four dollars, but would have to pay to my druggist for identically the same article six or eight dollars per gallon. The people are not prepared for radical changes on this question. They are jealous —and ought to be—of their liberties, and will not tamely surrender them, though the pre- ' U L text to take from them inalienable rights mat’ be presented to them in the form of an Angel of Mercy. Regretting this controversy, but claiming, as the attacked party, the right of conclusion, I am, Mr. Editor, gratefully and respectfully yours, Green R. Duke. May 24 th, 1876. THE METHODISTS.

Editor Forest News :—I do not reply to “Uncle Jake” this week, as he has told me personally that lie intended to cast no reflec tions upon me. I cheerfully accept his ex planation. I have been informed by reliable friends that a certain party says that he is in posses sion of a letter from the Hon. Thomas Harde- man, by which he can prove me to be a point blank liar, (using his language as conveyed to me.) lam a servant of the people ; and as such, I desire that the letter be published for the benefit of the public. I am not ashamed of any act of mine, or any word spoken by myself while in the Legislature. I am informed that the letter has reference to what I said on the Convention question. Myself and a good many others were not heard on that subject, as the debate was closed by the body, which it had a perfect right to do. The day after the vote was taken I could have made a speech on the question of reconsideration, but did not desire to do so, as there was but little interest manifested on the subject at that time, it being the day after the vote was taken on that question.— And furthermore, my views on the subject were at that time prepared for publication. I again ask for the publication of the letter referred to ; let ns have no more backbiting in regard to its contents; let the public see it for themselves, for what we did there was hot done in a corner, and I certainly know what was done there on the subject referred to, as I was as deeply interested in it as any other gentleman could be.
