General Hancock on Southern War Claims.
New York. September 24.— General Han
cock, responding to Theodore Cook, of Cin
cinnati, who had written to him concerning
the General's attitude on the question of
Southern claims, replies as follows under date
of the 23d :
•• Your letter of the 20th instant has been
received. I regret that you are disturbed
about that bugbear, ‘Southern war claims/
The people cannot be misled by it. To sup
pose that the ‘ Rebel claims/ or claims in the
interest of persons who were in rebellion, can
iii any way or any degree be countenanced, is
an imputation of disloyalty, such as used to
be against Democrats even when they were
j> arms defending the country. So far as it
touches me I denounce it. The government
can never pay a debt or grant a pension or re
ward of any sort for waging war upon its
c.vn existence, nor could I be induced to ap
prove or encourage the payment of such a
debt, pension or reward. Nobody expects
or wants such unnatural action. To propose
\x would be an insult to the intelligence and
J#fcnor (if our people. When the rebellion was
flushed the heresy of secession, in ever}'
i -ran and every incident, went down forever.
It jrs a tiling of the dead past. We move for
r.ot backward. If I were President I
veto all legislation which might come
hqSuoe me providing for the consideration of
p!^so<erst'.of claims of any kind for losses or
dantuy.ee by persons who were in rebellion,
whether pardoned or not. In relation to the
Utitfih war claims the government’s obligation
to itgl&sEettders come first; they are lasting
and SMjnaiL Public laws of civilized nations
•do not m .general recognize claims for injuries
1o property- (resulting from the operations of
war. - Nevertheless, our government has
treated •wßihjrreat indulgence claims for losses
and ctaamge* sulfered by Union men from
military operation of the war of the Union,
but, as hos.tLUtiiies were closed more than fifteen
years aga./duiins of that nature now mostly
in the haafls oftorokers, or persons other than
the original! are becoming stale,
arid, ia niy judgment, might fairly bo consid
ered as "barred by the lapse of time, and if
hereafter entertained at all, should-be subject
ed to the strictest scrutiny.
■“Toms, very truly,
Winfield S. Hancock.”
ThereV Millions in It*
l>n Saturday last we called in to interview
Mr. Madden and witness bis process for
■separating tfne sulphurets from the gold.
W e picfced wp a small roelc in our front
yard which contained a large amount of
sulphurets. and carried it. to his laboratory for
f.n experiment. The rock weighed a pound,
which he wrapped in a piece of paper and
p aced in his furnace. Soon the sulphur con
tained in the rock was all aglow with lurid
flame, sending its fumes throughout the room.
When the rebellious substance were exhaus
ted lie raked out the molten mass into a bath
tub prepared to receive it. then emptying the
whole in liis mill ground it to flour, which was
then put in a pan with quicksilver and rocked
until all the waste had passed off leaving
whatever gold or silver there was in the pan.
which he poured into a buck skin to separate
the quicksilver from the precious metal. This
metal is then scftiped out of the buck skin
into the cupel and set in the furnace again.
In a few minutes Mr. Madden took out the
cupel and showed us a beautiful button of
pure gold in the center of the cupel. This
rock was not considered gold bearing rock,
hence we were surprised to find anything in
but if the least shadow of a trace,
the.“ Robertson process” will find it. Mr.
Madden then took three pounds of ore from
Gen. Phinizee’s mine, known here as the
Lowman mine, and in aboutonehour he show
ed a button worth about two dollars, or
thirteen hundred dollars to the ton. This of
course was bis best ore, but the poorest ore
he had showed color every time. If this
process don't create the wildest excitement in
the gold regions, then we shall be disap
pointed, as over seventy per cent, of the gold
in Georgia is hist, because of a lack of
knowledge as to how to save it. Now Mr.
Madden lias tiie process for getting the last
farthing and will take pleasure in showing it
to any one interested, as it is so simple that
any bo}' with good seose can operate it.
There is gold enough within a radius of thirty
miles of this point to buy all the property em
braced in that area, if it could be economical l}'
reached, and we believe this simple process
will work a revolution in mining in Georgia,
and save millions of dollars now thrown away
and forever lost. —Gainesville Southern.

An Impartial Opinion.
We print below an impartial opinion of the
lion. Emory Speer, as given by a distinguish
ed gentleman who was in Congress with
Mr. Speer. It is well enough to sometimes
see what other people think of us and those
who represent our interests. For this reason
we give the following :
“The State of Illinois is now a doubtful
State, to say the least* of it. Our friends—
those who are best posted—believe that Illi
nois will cast her Electoral vote for Hancock
and English, Trumbull and the State ticket.
The election of Hancock is now assured, al
most beyond doubt. We are trying to give
him a majority of the Electoral votes of the
Northern States. What is the outlook of
Georgia? I have not heard whether Mr.
Speer is a candidate for re-election to Con
gress or not. I hope he is, and that he will
be elected. His record in the present Con
gress has been such that his constituents
may well feel proud of him. A consistent
Democrat, he had the courage of his convic
tions, and the ability to make his influence
felt and appreciated. No new member of the
House made a better or more honorable re
cord. and a brilliant future awaits him if he
continues in public life.”
Tea Culture in Georgia.
The United Stales Commissioner of Ag
riculture, General W. G. Due, is very en
thusiastic on the subject of tea culture in
this State, and is confident that the experi
ment will meet with ultimate success. On
the 2d of August last lie gave what North
ern people call “ a kettle-drum,” at the rooms
of J. & J. Montgomery & Cos., ten mer
chants of New York, at which were present
a great many of the most prominent firms in
that city. At this assemblage Commissioner
LeDuc submitted to the merchants samples
of teas grown on the tea plantation of Mr.
J. Jackson, in Liberty county, in this State,
and which teas were of the brands known as
Uekoe, Pekoe-Souchong, Souchong and Con
gou. Several drawings were made from each
of these kinds of tea, and were tested bv the
merchants, who generally expressed the
opinion that the Georgia tea compared fa
vorably in fragrance, though not in strength,
with the best Indian tea of the same charac
ter.
The Commissioner made some very inter
esting statements regarding the culture of
this tea. He said that Mr. Jackson was a
Scotchman, who for fifteen years had been
engaged in tea raising in India. Some
months ago lie came to the United States,
and having heard of the adaptability of
Georgia soil for the cultivation of the tea
plant, became greatly interested, and deter
mined to investigate the matter. He visited
several Southern States, and finally bought
the plantation of Mrs. Screven, in Liberty
county, who some twenty-five or thirty years
ago had experimented with tea culture, and
had set out a number of tea plants. He
(Mr. Jackson) stated that, though these
plants had been much neglected for some
time, he was greatly pleased with their gen
eral condition, and became satisfied that -lie
could carry out his ideas successfully. So
he immediately put the place in order, pro
cured twenty-three thousand plants from the
Agricultural Department, and is now so con
fident of success that he has ohe hundred and
sixty-five thousand plants under cultivation,
and is ready to invest his means still more
extensive in the same direction.
On the occasion in question a lengthy re
port from Mr. Jackson was read, in which he
expressed the belief that there would be no
trouble in raising tea in Georgia on the
9Core of labor, and that the climate was sat
isfactory. He said that if American capital
ists did not soon take the question of tea cul
ture in hand, English capital would not be
long in seeking investment in the tea soils
of the United States. Samples of his teas
were sent some time ago to the firm of
Thompson Brothers, tea merchants in Min
cing Lane, London, to be examined. In its
reply, the English firm said: “The samples
represented teas of a high type. The flavor,
though not strong, is remarkably fragrant.
In appearance the samples resemble Indian
tea, but the flavor is more like that of the
finest Chinese black tea, or of the Hill tea
of India.”
That tea can be successfully produced in
Georgia, therefore, is very evident, not only
from the result of Mr. Jackson’s experiments,
but because for a number of years Mr. Scre
ven and Mr. Willian Hughes have both cul
tivated the plant in Liberty county satisfac
torily to themselves. Mr. Jackson is now
in Charleston where he has gone to meet
Commissioner LcDuc, and. in a few days,
these gentlemen will return to this city, and
proceed directly to the tea field of Mr. Jack
son, whose success has been so very en
couraging. We are glad that the Commis
sioner is so enthusiastic in the matter, and
is exerting himself to give it a thorough test.
When it is remembered that, as lie says,
$22,000,000 are invested in this country in
foreign teas every year, the importance of
this subject cannot lie overestimated. It
opens a field for future working which, if suc
cessful, will prove a mine of wealth to the
State. We shall watch the progress of tea
culture in Georgia with the liveliest interest.

A Horrible Crime.
A horrible crime was committed yesterday
by a negro named Bradshaw, out in the
country between Princeton and Georgia
factory. Bradshaw entered the house of a whit3
man named Spence, while the latter and his
wife were out at work, and found three girls
—the eldest being about thirteen years old.
With a piece of lightwood, he struck the eld
est on tiie head and knocked her down. One
of the others started to run out, when he
struck her, inflicting an ugW wound under
the eye. She escaped, however, and with all
her speed went to the field where her parents
were, and informed them of what had hap
pened. Hastening home, they found that the
villain’s design had been to commit an out
rage ton horrible to name. The reports which
we obtaind differed as to whether or not the
hellish intention was accomplished.
The negro had tied, and the whole com
munity turned out in pursuit. It was not
long before he was caught, and he was brought
to jail in Athens. The girl whom he knocked
down is very seriously injured. So severe
was the blow on her head, that her eve-balls
were partially forced from their sockets, and
she is now lying in a critical condition.
It is a strong testimonial to the law-abiding
character of the people of that community,
that they could refrain from lynching the
criminal. It is best as it is. The law should
ever be allowed to take its course. —Athens
Banner, bth inst.
The Campaign
BELL GAINING GROUND AMONG TIIF. INTELLI
GENT MASSES OF TIIE PEOPLE.
Having recently mixed and mingled with
the people of this and adjacent counties, we
are abundantly satisfied that the Hon. H. P.
Bell is on rising ground. The popular tide
which the Speer people believe they had cre
ated six weeks ago is growing “ beautifully
less” even in their remarkable imaginations,
and some whom we have conversed with re
cently admit that possibly now there may
be a chance for Bell. Y"es, my friends, there is
not only a chance, but the brilliant prospect
of a certainty of the election of the Demo
cratic candidate, Mr. Bell.
The thinking, intelligent, simon-pure Dem
ocrats all over the District are taking in the
situation, and deplore the disruption in the
party, which, if persisted in by the hot-head
ed, reckless malcontents, must eventuate in
its destruction. They appreciate the stern
fact that a crisis is at hand which, if not
promptly and effectually met, may be attended
with the most direful results to peace and
good government, and finally bring upon the
State another reign of Radicalism with all
its attendant horrors.
It is true that the Speer men are making
all the noise, while the Bell men are moving
quietly but surely to victory.
It is an old saying that, “deep rivers run
smooth, but small brooks are noisy.”
A good deal of comment has been made
on the Cook speecli in Congress. I low Mr.
Speer or his friends can evade the plain truth
that he was derelict in duty in being absent
from his scat at the time our people were so
ruthlessly assailed is past the cornprehen
aion, it seems to us, of any fair mind. We
have never yet, with all the persistent and
untiring effort of Mr. Speer, and his news
paper allies, seen a single argument suffi
cient to excuse him from this unwarranted
and flagrant neglect of his duty as a Con
gressman. It is said the gentleman was off
on a pleasure trip, or, as one of his Gwin
nett county constituents says, “ gone to see
his gal.” We do not know where he wa3.
Certain it is that he was not absent on sick
leave, or visiting his family. We would not
do Mr. Speer an injustice in this matter.
He may regret now his carelessness in being
off on a tour of recreation when the fiercest
assaults were made upon his people and
which had to be met by the representative
of another District. We will go farther and
say, for the sake of the argument, that he re
gretted it at the time. But do such regrets
compensate for neglect of official duty?
Do such regrets bring back opportunities?
Do such regrets fill the measure of official
capacity and fidelity ? Assuredly not. John
lluss suffered martyrdom for that which Lu
ther accomplished a century later, and after
the very close rub Mr. S. had in getting into
Congress, he certainly should have been wil
ling to have remained in his seat continually,
for the healthy salary of $5,000 per annum,
in order to develop his statesmanship, that
his constituents might send him back
We call upon the people to put the seal of
their condemnation upon such wanton care
lessncs. If a man must have pleasure,'let
him incur the expense, and not the people.
Democrat.
There has been but one case of lynch law
in Oglethorpe since it was a county.
The Covington Star says : “ There was a
slight frost about Covington on the morning
of the 19th of September. We believe this
was the earliest we ever known frost in this
section.”
T. C. Mitchell, of Thomas county, has one
acre of Bermuda grass, which furnishes graz
ing for four head of horses and three head of
cattle. He ha3 five acres in Le-Compt pear
trees. lie also has four hundred living pecan
trees.
Mr. J. Madison Hill, a brother of Senator
B. 11. Hill, died on his farm in Alabama,
near West Point, Ga., a few days .ago. He
was over seventy years old, and during a
greater part of his life was a man of influ
ence in his section.
A correspondent of the Buena Vista Argus
writes that paper that five children and the
wife of Mr. James Bridges, living near Poin
dexter, Schley county, were poisoned last
Friday morning. Mr. Bridges left early that
morning with cotton for Americas, and soon
after his departure one of his daughters,
while sweeping the floor, suddenly fell. Two
of the children were then sent for one of the
neighbors, and on their way home one of
them fell in the road and was carried home
by an old negro man. When the neighbors
arrived they found five of the children and
their mother down with poison and two of
the children were having convulsions. Med
ical attendance was immediately summoned,
and the attack was pronounced to be poi
son from arsenic or strychnine. Itisthought
that the poison was put in the well bucket,
as those (and onty those) who drank the fresh
water was affected. They are all now out of
danger. The perpetrator of the deed is un
known.
Under the heading “ ATouching Incident,”
the Athens Banner says : “ Mr. Thomas W.
Gean, the carrier of the mail between Athens
and Watkinsville, informs us that yesterda} r
morning, while in Watkinsville, he saw a col
ored man go to Sheriff Overby and ask to be
put in jail and chained. Being asked his rea
son he said he had been bitten by a mad dog,
and for fear that he would himselfbe attacked
with hydrophobia and bite someone else, he
desired to be incarcerated and chained. The
Sheriff complied, and the poor fellow is now
in durance, awaiting, in all probability, the
most horrible death that can befall a man.
This man is Thomas Akins, who was bitten
by the dog which Mr. Thomas Jonas killed—
an account of which the Banner published a
few days since. The medical faculty ought
to take hold of this case. The man ought
not to be left to die without an effort to save
him. If his case could be successfully treated,
it would not only save a valuable human life,
but would be of great benefit to medical
science. Why not look into the matter,
Messrs, doctors ?”
Says the Covington Enterprise : “ Several
persons have been sent from Newton coun
ty to the Insane Asylum at Milledgeville,
recently. All these persons went crazy on
the subject of sanctification, religion and
financial embarrassment.”
Under the heading “ A New Character in
the Cotton Fields,” the Griffin Neivs says:
“ We do not refer to any new variety of tlie
cotton worm or insect, but to a type of the
new cotton field darkey. The old type is
familiar to every Southern reader, and is a
prominent feature of ante-bellum life. The
old type was a jolly, jovial, polite darkey, well
fed, who went to the cotton fields with a song
and a shout. He cared as little for the heat
of the summer sun as did his inseparable com
panion, the mule, and could take his nap
under its vertical rays as contentedly as under
the shade. The character passed away with
the end of the Southern regime. Since that
day the new character has been slowly form
ing, and the new type is illustrated by an in
cident witnessed in Bibb county last week.
A Macon gentleman, having occasion to go
into the country last Friday, saw two negroes
leisurely picking cotton, and cautiously hold
ing an umbrella over their heads. Pretty
soon it will come to be stipulated in the con
tract with employers that each darkey must
be provided with a fashionable umbrella, with
a fan attachment, and a Fowler fly machine
to keep off the flies. To these will probably
be added a sufficient quantity of ice coolers
to provide the cotton field laborers with ice
water. The only incongruous feature of the
new arrangement will be the absence
of any provision for the comfort of the mule.
That worthy animal should be provided with
at least an umbrella and a patent fly protector.
The new type will furnish material for the
cartoon fiend.”
