Turkish and Russian troops are rapidly
moving into the field, and the impression
everywhere prevails that war is inevitable.
The annual meeting of the Georgia Press
Association will be held at Thomasville on
Wednesday, May 23, 1877.
Rome, Ga., April 20.—Augustus Johnson,
white, was to-day sentenced to be hanged at
Rome on Friday, June 15, for the murder of
Daniel Alford, colored, in August last.
Newburyport, Mass., has 1,300 more women
than men. It is a small place, and. accord

creates almost as much sadness as a funeral.”
Georgia will probably soon receive from
the General Government $200,000, an over
charge on the property of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad.
I)r. J. 11. Roberts has arrived from Missouri
with Amos Lawrence, colored, who is to be

Reports to the U. S. treasury department
show that the counterfeiting of coin, princi
pally silver, is increasing repidty. A report
from the Black hills mentions the coinage of
counterfeit five dollar pieces and some ar

New Orleans. April 24.—As the cathedral
clock struck twelve to-day, a detachment of
the third infantry, under command ofLieuten
ant Colonel J. B. Brooke, marched out of Or
leans hotel, passed up Chartres street to St.
Louis street, out to the river, where they em
barked on astcamboat for the barracks.
A Michigan farmer is reported to have
held on to 800 pounds of wool since 1863. be
cause the price at no time within that period
has suited him. He is like a great many oth
ers who cannot be made to believe that an
article is worth just what it will fetch in mar
ket, and no more.
The Countr;/ Gentleman says : “It ts gen
erally conceded that timber will last best if
well and quickly seasoned, and this is best
secured by cutting when the bark will peel
readily, say in May or June, in Virginia.—
It should be peeled and split as soon as cut,
in order that it may season well.”
“Will our exchanges in the old States,*
says a Dallas (Texas) paper, “warn their
young men not to come to Texas in search of
employment—unless they want employment
on the farm. There is plenty of work on Tex
as farms to be had, but unless a man desires
to labor on a farm, he had better give Texas
a wide berth.”
In one year from now the general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church south
will convene in this city. As the negotia
tions for reunion are almost assured of suc
cess, we may expect a large number of dis
tinguished northern preachers to be with us
also. This will give us a heavy list of visi
tors, and Atlanta should be preparing to ex
tend to them the honors the importance of
the occasion calls for.— At. Const. 22 d.
Washington, April 23.—Mr. Stephens rode
out to-day. lie called on Speaker Randall.
Mr. Adams, Clerk of the House, and the Presi
dent came to the portico of the White House
and conversed with Mr. Stephens, who re
mained in his carriage. It was the first meet
ing of these gentlemen, and the conversation
was confined to topies of courtesy. War
mouth telegraphs a friend here that Packard
will vacate the St. Lonis Hotel to-morrow.
The speediness with which crime is followed
by punishment is exemplified in the case of
the murder of Mrs. Caraway in Sumter coun
ty. The murderer, a negro named Charley
Thomas, who committed the deed on last
Monday, was arrested the same day. lie
was brought out under a grand jury indict
ment on Friday, was tried and convicted the
snme day. and sentenced to be hanged on the
18th of May.
On Sunday afternoon there were three
consecutive showers of hail in Hawkinsville
and surrounding country. The stones were
quite large, but not so considered by the peo
ple here. They have too distinct a recollec
tion of the great Modoc hail storm in 1873
when the streets of Hawkinsville were cover
ed with stones as large as teacups, which beat
off shingles from the houses, destroyed win
dow blinds, and even cut holes into new tin
roofs on brick buildings. —Hawkinsville Dis

The Russian manifesto has been issued,
and the grapple between that power and
Turkey will speedily commence. It is by
no means certain that the campaign will be
short or decisive. Russia, although terrible
on the map of Europe and Asia, is by no
means a Sampson. Her enormous debt crip
ples her movements, and although her credit
is much better than that of Turkey, the latter
lias the advantage of mobility. Her naval
force is far superior to Russia’s, and second
only to that of England. Her people are
warlike and fanatic, and outside of any aid
from friendly governments, she can hold her
own in a contest with the Czar. Tne war
will ino3t probably be fierce and long.
Russia and Turkey.
The telegrams in our daily exchanges leave
but little or no doubt that the “clash of arms”
has commenced between these two hostile
nations ; and now, it becomes us all, especial
ty our agriculturalists, to begin to put our
“ houses in order.” Whatever phase or shape
the struggle may assume—whether it be long
or short—there are those in the ranks of the
“Shylocks” and speculators in the United
States who. in their greed for gold, will bring
“hard times” upon us if they can. Let all
prepare against the evil day by paying what
they owe, keeping out of debt, and “ living
at home.”
Louisiana Free I
The Chronicle 4- Constitutionalist in an
nouncing the above gratifying fact, remarks
thusly:—“All ready Nicholls has a majority
in his Legislature of the members declared
elected by the Returning Board, and the Le.
gislature will promptly proclaim him to he the
lawful Executive of Louisiana. There is no
mistaking the result. Louisiana, like South
Carolina, is free, and free forever. The Pres
ident has fully redeemed the promises of his
inaugural. Generous words have been sup
plemented by just deeds. He has moved
with as little delay as possible, when the cir
cumstances of the case are considered. In
less than two months after his inauguration
he has undone in Louisiana and South Car
olina the work of twelve years of corruption
and despotism. In the South, thanks to his
brave course. “ the flag floats over States, not
provinces.” For what he has done he has
the grateful approbation of all true friends
of the South—of all real lovers of the Union.”

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE —ALL HAR
MONIOUS.
Columbia. S. C., April 24. —Legislature
met in extra session on the call of Gov.
Hampton.
In the senate Lieutenant Governor Gleavcs
called the house to order, and made a fare
well address, insisting that he was legally
re-elected, but that further resistance would
be futile.
Simpson then took his seat and delivered
a brief address, urging harmony and a strict
regard for the rights and privileges of all
classes. The Edgefield and Laurens senators
were sworn in. The senate now stands 15
democrats to 18 republicans, but one of the
republicans vote with the democrats, another
one is in jail, and the senate is virtually tied,
and the lieutenant governor has the casting
vote. The indications are that Associate
Justice Willard, a New York republican will
be nominated for chief justice by the demo
cratic caucus, and elected in accordance with
Hampton’s avowed desire.

New Orleans’ April 24.—The following is
printed in the newspapers here this morning :
Exccutixc Department, State of Louisiana,
New Orleans, April 24, 1877. Bv direction
of the President of the United States, the
troops now stationed in the vicinity of the
St. Louis hotel and elsewhere within the lim
its of this city, will be moved to their usual
barracks at 12 m. this day. The welfare of
the State demands, and my official honor is
pledged, that the carrying out of this order
will result in no disturbance. In furtherance
thereof, I request and urge the citizens of
Louisiana to pursue their usual avocations
and to abstain from congregating in the neigh
borhood of the St. Louis hotel.

THE MARSHAL OF SPARTA CONVICTED OF MUR
DER.
Some weeks ago we published a full ac
count of the Rozier murder in Sparta and the
circumstaccs which implicated the town mar
shal. M. Y. Griggs, and two others in com
mission of the crime.
Since that time the case came on for trial
in the superior court and Griggs was first
placed in the dock. The evidence was taken
fully and the defence relied upon medical ex
pert testimony to prove the truth of Grisxg’s
first statement, to-wit: that Rozier walked
after being wounded, from the scene of as
sault to Lovett’s barroom, and it was not
possible for a man so wounded to travel that
slistanee.
The jury found Griggs guilty of murder.
I but accompanied the verdict with a recomen
dation to mere}", which, in this State, gives
the court a discretion between a life sentence
and capital punishment. The court, in this
case, humanely received the recomendation,
and Griggs was sentenced to hard labor in
the penitentiary for life.
The cases of Lovett and Barnes are yet
pending, but tne proof against them is quite
as conclusive as it was against Griggs.
This case was worked up by Defective
Monaghan, of this city, and is a remarkable
piece of detective work, reflecting a great
credit upon him and proving a valuable ser
, vice to the community and the cause of jus
tice. — At. Const.
The Foreign War.
Our respected contemporary, the Augusta
Chronicle <s• Constitutionalist , in discussing
the “effects of the foreign war upon the Uni
ted States, closes its remarks in this wise :
“At the South, the benefit to be derived
from a European war which would involve
England is more questionable. Cotton and
other Southern staples would, it is feared,
decline, just in proportion as breadstuff's rose
in price. If England shall not be involved,
her harvest, in common with the Northern
States, would be immense in supplying the
beligerents. Some of our contemporaries as
sume that the renewed prosperity of the
North could not fail at last to beneficially af
fect the South, by revived investments and a
rebound in the cotton market. We are not
so sure that the South will be the gainer by
a war abroad ; but we are very sure that her
people should contemplate its possibility,
put their houses in order for the threatened
storm, and plant less cotton and more grain.”
UiP’The following is as good in this lati
tude as any other: ‘True religion teaches
a man to do three things—to trust in God,
to bear no ill to his neighbor, and to pay his
honest debts.
The Georgia Baptist State Convention.
This evangelical body assembled in Gaines
ville, on Thursday of last week. Not expect
ing to attempt any lengthy account of the
proceedings, we have not kept pace with the
daily published minutes of the Convention.
Dr. P. 11. Mell, who in former days, presid
ed, with so much satisfaction to his brethren,
was again selected as Moderator or Presi
dent of the assemblage.
From those present during the delibera
tions of the Convention, we learn that the
meeting was characterized by the utmost
harmony and unanimity of Christian senti.
ment. And as the Baptist ministry of Geor
gia is composed of some of the leading minds
of the State and country, the citizens of
Gainesville and visiting brethren, no doubt,
enjoyed a rare “feast of reason” in listening
to the various discourses delivered during the
progress of the meeting. One of the most
important subjects before the body was the
location of a (prospective) Female College.
From the last day's proceedings we get the
following as the “ action” of the Convention
in relation thereto, and we also take this
occasion to congratulate our “sister”—the
Queen City—for its good luck in the pre
mises.
BAPTIST FEMALE COLLEGE.
On motion of Rev T. 11. Stout, the propo
sition of the city council of Gainesville, rel
ative to the establishment in this city of a
female college by the the convention, was
taken from the.table and read. The propo
sition offers a donation of six acres of valua
ble land, $25,000 in 8 per cent, bonds, be
sides expressing the opinion that $20,000 in
private subscriptions could be raised in
Northeast Georgia.
Mr. C. D. Campbell moved that the con
vention take under its control the college for
girls, which the people of Gainesville pro
pose to build, without assuming any financial
responsibilities whatever, and that the exe
cutive committee of the convention be in
structed to enter into agreement with the
city council of Gainesville for the immediate
completion of the intentions of the resolution.
Rev. T. 11. Stout moved as a substitute
that the convention unqualifiedly accept the
offer of the city of Gainesville.
A long discussion ensued as to the pro
priety of the establishment of the college and
the claims of the various cities in question.
The substitute was withdrawn and the vote
was taken on the resolution as originally of
fered. The resolutions were unanimonsty
adopted, thus locating the college at Gaines
ville. — At. Const.
Dr. Janes’ Circular to the Farmers.
In presenting the Circular of the Commis
sioner of Agriculture to the fanners and
planters of the State, the Georgia. Granr/c
says: “We publish this week the timely
and sensible address of Dr. Thomas P. Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture, to the farmers
of Georgia, in which, in view of the imminent
and probably prolonged contest in the Old
World, he advises greater attention to the
production of bread, and meat. If the threat
ened war should not be averted, and of this
there now seems little probability, the result
will inevitably be an advance of the prices
of the cereals and meat, with a decline in
that of cotton. Sensible, prudent men will
look to the signs that betoken approaching
events, and act in accordance with the indi
cations.
“It may be said that the Commissioner
has yielded tor) readily to the fears of a for
eign war, and that his advice is, therefore,
premature. This conclusion is certainly in
conflict with the circumstances of the situa
tion, for months have been spent by the rep
resentatives of the great Powers in the inter
ests of peace, which have exhibited no better
success than the irritation of the Ottoman
Government to the highest degree, and a
declared purpose on its pait to submit to no
abridgment of the sovereignty, or to insult
the dignity of the Empire.
“There is no doubt that the impending
war will involve all the great powers of Eu
rope finally ; this will paralyze all the pro
ducing energies of the Old World, and its
teeming millions will be dependent, in a great
measure, upon the New World for supplies
that cannot be raised there. It is, therefore,
the best plan to keep this exigency in view,
and to reap all the benefit we can out of the
prospective situation in Europe.”
This Circular Is printed in this week’s
issue of the Forest Nevis, and attention is
invited thereto.
The closing scenes of the hanging of a six
foot negro murderer at Aiken. S. C., is thus
described :—Sheriff Holley adjusted the rope
around the convict’s neek, placed the black
cap over his head, and left him standing alone
on the drop. As the sheriff reached the bot
tom step the triggers were sprung, the drop
fell, and Anderson was launched into eternity.
The rope had been subjected to a heavy strain,
in order to stretch it, previously, and a pit
dug under the gallows so that there would be
sufficient distance for the fall. The great
weight of Anderson, who was a very large
man, caused the rope to stretch beyond all
expectation. For a brief moment after he
fell he hung perfectly motionless then a con
vulsive quivering commenced, and the legs
were drawn up and let down. It then be
came apparent that the man’s toes were touch
ing the ground. Sheriff 11. and an assistant
hastened to shovel earth from beneath, but
the rope seemed to stretch as fast as they
could remove the soil. The body jerked
spasmodically in the meantime. Finally,
however, the toes swung clear. The murder
er fell precisely at 12 o’clock and at twenty
minutes past that hour, life was extinct. The
crowd quietly dispersed and Aiken’s second
execution since the war was over.
No Mileage for the Extra Session.
Washington, April 20.—At the Cabinet
session to-day several names of prominent
Republicans were brought up who had written
in favor of avoiding an extra session altogeth
er, but none of them seem to have had any
but partisan reasons to present for this course,
and the current opinion around the table did
not favor any reconsideration of the determ
ination to have an extra session. The fact
was brought out to-day that, under the present
law. members of Congress are entitled to no
mileage for the extra session.
The Duty of Farmers in View of the Im
pending European War.
Department of Agriculture, l
Atlanta, April 17, 1877. $
To the Farmers of Georgia:
In view of the threatened war in the East,
which seems now to be unavoidable, it be
comes us as prudent men to avert, as far as
possible, its disastrous effects upon our indus
tries by a wise forecast in our farm economy’.
The indications now are that there will be a
protracted war, involving the leading powers
of Europe, the necessary consequence of
which will be a rapid advance in the price of
all fowl supplies. Even the “rumor of war”
has already caused an appreciable advance
in meats and breadstuffs, and a decline in
our great staple—cotton. Unusually large
shipments of provisions to the various Eu
ropean ports are already reported, and must
continue so long as the war lasts. The for
eign demand for cotton may be greatly reduc
ed, and its price fall below even its present
low figures.
In view of these facts, the farmers of Geor
gia are urged to increase their areas in pro
vision crops. It is not yet too late to in
crease the area in corn, even if it has to be
done by reducing the area in cotton. Let
farmers plant enough corn to insure an ample
supply for the ensuing year. Let them plant
crops for their hogs, and force them forward
to secure, as nearly as possible, a supply of
bacon for home consumption. Let them
plant liberally in German millet and field
peas to supplement their corn crop in feeding
stock in order that more of their corn may
be used for bread.
If the war should be averted—of which
there is at present little probability—we will
have lost nothing by the above policy; if
not, we will have provided against the possi
bility of loss or suffering. In either event,
those who adopt the above advice will have
nothing to regret, while those who do not
may be compelled to purchase provisions at
ruinously high prices, and pay for them with
cotton at prices even below the cost of pro
duction. Very respectfully,
Tiiomas 1\ Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
The Cross Against the Crescent.
History is the written world. It is contin
ually repeating itself. It seems that the old
en days are reviving when the Christian and
Moslem are again to be arrayed in bloody
conflict. Rifled ordnance and long-range' 1
'/tins have superceded the knightly weapons
of chivalry. The Turks differ but little from
the fierce, relentless hosts of the princely Sa
lad in. The followers of the Prophet, fired
with religious fervor, still fight like madmen,
enthused with an impetuous zeal. They are
better officered than ever, the commanders
being composed, in many instances, of reso
lute, cool Europeans, who have made warfare
their study, and their influence will hold the
ardent troops longer in the field. Experience
has shown that those who rush headlong in
the fray, when forced back, fly most inglori
ously echoing the cry, “Save who can.”—
The sympathy of Christian Europe, strange
to say, is with Turkey, but this is due more
to political designs than any other feature.
Philosophic Germany stands aloof to watch
the conflict. Italy will preserve neutrality
until Constantinople is attacked. Austria
has fully armed to protect her borders from
encroachment. France professes to be wil
ingto act the part of pacificator, and will take
no sides unless Germany’ opens with her guns,
when France will most probably array her
self with the opposition. England wants
peace but will never consent to the occupan
cy of Constantinople by the Czar. Towards
this queen of the Bosphorus the ey’es of cov
etous Russia has long been directed. Were
not the ambition and ulterior designs of Rus
sia feared so much the whole of Europe would
be against the dirty, bigoted, lascivious Turk,
who seemingly acquiesces in, if he does not
approve the horrid butcheries of those fiends
in human shape, the Bashi Bazouks. The
Turk of to-day is no match for the superbly
disciplined Russian.
Prophecies are abundant about Constanti
nople. The Turks believe they will some
day loose it. A Beyrout Santon, last sum
mer, predicted that the Ottoman empire would
not last over four y’ears. In 1453 the sub
joined verses were composed :
In twice two hundred years the Bear
The Crescent shall assail,
But if the Cock and Bull unite,
The Bear shall not prevail.
But look in twice ten years again,
Let Islam know and fear,
The Cross shall wax—the Crescent wave,
Grow pale and disappear.
It is “twice ten years” since the Crimean
war. Russia will find it a difficult job to
capture Constantinople except in poetry.—

An Outrageous Deed.
We learn that a negro man, whose name
we failed to get, while waiting on his aged
father who was dying, on the plantation of
Mr. Jonathan Hampton, in Jackson county,
was shot by some unknown party’, through a

night last. Several shot took effect in the
head and shoulders, inflicting painful, though
not dangerous wounds.— So. Watch. 17th.

Tins Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives—Stillingia,Man
drake,Yellow Dock—with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that tle full alterative
( fleet of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to he harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
Hie country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con
stantly being received, and as many
of these eases are publicly known*,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other alterative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
