The Savannah News of Tuesday

A Cochran dispatch of August
31st says: Yesterday morning a
squad of negroes resisted the sher
iff’s posse of Laurens county, about
eighteen miles from this place,
known as the Rocky Creek section.
The negroes would not listen to the
reasoning of the sheriff, and when
he went in reach of one to arrest
him, the negro placed his gun
against the sheriff's breast and
burst two caps, which cost the ne
gro his life and one of his comrades,
and the wounding of another. This
morning by nine o’clock the negroes
had massed in the vicinity in arms
to the number of one hundred and
upward, with considerable threats
of what will be done to-night. This
was reported here by on of the
sheriff's posse, who came for amuni
tion.
STAND UP, BILL ALLEN.
Governor Allen, in reply to the
allegation of his enemies that he
had it in contemplation to retire
from the Gubernatorial contest on
account of ill health, pertinently re
marked in his Greenfield speech
.hat he had never been seriously
iick in his life. “Sick! Sick ol
what? If I could be rendered sick
by anything, it would be by nausea,
by the malarious influences this ad
ministration has inflicted upon the
country. Nothing could please the
enemies tif the country more than
my retirement. Now, my friends
of the Republican leaders and tax
gathereres have no other hope to
rely upon than my retirement. They
ought to shake hands with fatality
and retire themselves. I cannot
gratify them. Great God, I have too
many Democrats to gratify. I can
not even get sick for their accommo
dation. * * I go to Columbus
on Monday to take up my position
in the centre of the State. From
there I shall move in every direction
that presents a speck of danger. I
shall stand upon the field until the
last hour of the contest, and if it
should bo my misfortune to fall, I
will fall as the old Roman said it
became an Emperor to fall. I will
die standing and seek no bed to re
pose upon.” If the oponents of De
mocracy can glean any comfort out
of such sentiments, they are wel
come to it. “Honest Old Bill Allen”
is not the man to begrude them to
the luxury, as he is ready to supply
it iu any required quantity.
ELECTIONS.
The elections immediately to be
held are as follows: Arkansas, Sep
tember 6th; Maine, September 13th.
Oil the 12th of October, Ohio and
lowa follow. The elections in Vir
ginia, Kansas, Maryland, Massachu
setts, Mississippi, Minnesota, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
and Wisconsin all come on Novem
ber 2nd, and in Texas on Decem
ber 7th. The nominations are not
made in most of the States that elect
in November, but in the others a
lively contest lias been under way
for a long time. Tlie financial ques
tion is a large element in tlie can
vass in several of the States. In
Ohio, besides the resolution relating
to and favoring inflation, is the
question of sectarian education.
The last Legislature passed an act
which virtually provides for tl*e ap
portionment of the school fund for
sectarian purposes. This has evoked
an immense opposition, and the
Radicals vainly hope to carry the
State on that issue. In California,
the fight is against monopolies and
certain interests that hope to con
trol tlio water power and supply of
the State. Iu Maine the prospects
of ex-Speakcr Blaine are quite seri
ously involved. These September
and October elections may give
some idea of the set of the political
current, but the November elections
in so many and such prominent
States will be looked forward to
with more interest. The reform
question will be the predominating
element in the New York election,
and will undoubtedly give an im
press to the grand campaign of
1876.
A correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch, from White Sulpher
Springs, Va., gossips thus about two
Southern gentlemen: “Gen. John
ston wears a short beard, which is
gray, like his hair. His form is erect
and soldierly, as of old, and his eyes
retain their wonted brightness.
Gen. Johnston is a great pedestrian.
He is constantly taking long jaunts
over the mountains, and the fresh,
pure air and healthful exercise seem
to do him good and keep him in fine
spirits. Northerners seek his com
pany, and delight in his cheerful
conversation, for the “Centennial
feeling” is strong here, and society
knows no. territorial lines. Even
Gen. Bob Toombs, of Georgia, who
is supposed by some Radical jour
nals to be ready to eat up a Yankee
on sight, or to blow Tip tlie Govern
ment at tlie first oportunity, gets
along very well with our bretliern
and sisters from across the Poto
mac and Ohio, and makes himself
agreeable to them all.”
■ <►“- * —
We learn from a citizen of
Rome who yesterday came from
Cross Plains, Alabama, that a bloody
affray occurred at Tecumseli Iron
Works, on last Monday, between
several negroes and a party of white
men. Our informant tells us that
he liet rd at Cross-Plains the follow
ing account of the affair: A white
man carried some beef to Tecumseli
for tlie purpose of selling it. While
there, for some cause, not stated,
he was attacked and driven off by
several negroes. Gatheing a party
of friends be returned with them to
Tecumseli. As the white party ap
proached tlie negroes fired upon
them, and the white party immedi
ately returned the fire. During the
fight four negroes were killed and
two white men wounded, tnie of
them mortally. The above is all
we could learn concerning the af
fair. —Home (binmereial.

OYSTER SHELL LIME!
The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer
in Lise in Georgia.
■yrOTHING IN THF WAY OF FERTILIZER AND
lM Renovator of old Soils, has been found
equal to Pure
OYSTER SHELL LIME.
It is not only ior one year, (like Guanos, wholly
exhausted the first season,) but its good effects
are seen and continues for
EEGBIT td tea years.
Lime is greatly beneficial to all Grain Crops, ap
plied as a top dressing and also to Potatoes and
all Root crops, and should be applied in quanti
ties not less than 20 to 40 bushels per acre. For
Compost Heaps it is invaluable, and to the plan
ters of Georgia this plan of using LIME is espe
cially recommended, to bring up our Ktate to the
front rank in Agricultural matters. The cheap
ness of our
Oyster Shell Lime
will recommend it to every farmer who has used
fertilizers largely for the past few years. Its value
is greatly enhanced by its long years of service
lasting as it does for years after its application has
been forgotten. In soils abounding in vegetable
substances the manurial quality of LIME is more
fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds in all soils
of common fertility, but little of it is available—
Lime unlocks this stoye house of Nitrogen and
renders it readily available for plant food.
Asplndid and economical compost fertilizer
may be made by thoroughly mixiug one bushel of
Salt and threo of lime, and ' -t mixture stand 6 or
8 weeks before usin. This is specially adapted to
using in the drill for Turnips.

TO SECURE A
10,000 ACRES OF
PINE LAND
Ist One Body.
FOR SALE.
Attention, Everybody ! !
T OFFER FOR SALE A VALUABLE BODY OF
Land containing
10,000. Acres
Situated immediately on the Altamaha River, fif
teen miles from Darien, and extending for fifteen
miles up the River, along which water front there
are five Steamboat Landings, and one regularly
Chartered Ferry,
In successful operation; being about twenty
miles from the thriving city of Bruntwick. A
particular feature oi thcseTands is the existence
ol numerous Lakes at short distances— said Lakes
being valuable in rafting any kind of timber. Be
ing at a low stage of the water on tide-way, tim
ber can be brought to Darien at all times’of the
year in from twelve to twenty-four hours. For
timber of
PITCH PINE, OAK, HICKORY,
POPLAR AND CYPRESS.
They have no superior in the South, tieir being
on tide-way, put them above all other Timber'
Lands on the Altamaha in easy access to mar
ket.
The near proximity of chose lands to Darien’
makes the cost of drifting nominal, when com
pared with price paid from further up the {river.
An Immense amount of
WOOD
Can bo sold annually to Steamboats plying on tlic
River, and in the cities of Savannah, Darien and
Brunswick.
In addition to the River for transportation to 1
market, the Macon A Brunswick Railroad runs
along the back portion of the Lands for miles, be
ing at no place more than two milts from the>
line. For
there lands offi r unusual inducements, being es
pecially adapted to t lie grow ing of Cotton, Corn,.
Sugarcane, Oofs, Irish and Sweet Potatoes, and
all Fruits and Vegetables that can be grown in
the Southern country. On the lands are several
Farms containing lair houses for the county, and
Several hundred acres of clearing in successful
cultivation. ,
‘•IUX-XUS
Of the highlands is good, as the appearance of tliei
inhabitants will indicate.
Twenty miles from Darien and immediately on
the River may lie found an immense quantity
of
Brick Clay.
This Clay was thoroughly examined [by a gen
tleman having both a Practical ana Scientific?
knowledge of the necessary requirements of clay
for Brick. The fact of its being at the very
;jUvs* t s ICctge
The manufacture of Brick could he'successfully
carried ou with small capital
In the event of the completion of the
Great Western
O .V TV .V E ,
Which at present seems very probabie at an early
day, the value of these lands would be greatly
enhanced, and proves splendid investment to the
purchaser.
THE INCREASING
Demand for Pitch Pine will in a few years thin
out the vast forests of Pine in the South, and
cause
PITCH FIXE IIJIBER
To bring a fabulous price in the markets of the
world.
In the present depressed condition ofbusiness,
capitalists can do no better than invest their sur
plus funds in this species of property.
I would also sell about One Hundred Head of
STOCK CATTLE,
Timber Carts and Teams,
And also my entire stock of HOGS. The range
for miles is considered as good for cattle and
hogs as any in the
