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. ♦♦ The Voltaic Belt Cos., Marshall, Mich.

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. —Savannah News. 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.” Bogus Certificates.
