The dwelling house of lbe Rev. David
Crenshaw, about ten miles west of this plsoe,
was fired by an inoeodiarj, botween one sod j
two o’clock in the afternoon of the third
inat. Tbe family were all absent at the
Lae of Ihe firing, except his son Dr. Cren
shaw, who had become fatigued from work
ing in Ibe garden, and was roundly Bleeping
in the house. It was by an inhuman effort
that he made his escape from the flames—not
even saving bis shoos, or coat. Everything ,
in the house, including Dr. Crenshaw’s books
and medicines, was destroyed with tho ex
ception of one featherbed and a small lot of
bacon.
The family are destitute of everything save
the wearing apparel they have on their backs
Mr. Crenshaw supposes tho house to hare
been destroyed by a man the name of Head, j
who threatened sometime ago to burn it.
A warrant was issued sometime ago for |
the arrest of Head, and every good citizen
should use his utmost endeavors to bring the
oQt-law tojnatice.
Revivals in Macon.
R viva! meetings have for several weeks
in succession, been held in the two Metho
dist churches of Macon, and with very en- \
couraging results. Fur the present the <
meetings are temporary suspended. To j
the Mulberry street Methodist Church 35
converts have been added, while 45 have
joined the First Street Methodist Church.
In the Babtist Church an interesting se
ries of.revival meetings is in progress, and
20 have united with the church.
The Presbyterian Cburch is also ?eby •!
ing a season of revival aud 11 have been re-'
ceived into its membership.
Progress of Southwest Oeorgla.
It cannot he dented that there ia at the
present day more indications of progress
and advancement of tbe general interests
of this section of our State than any ante
rior period has ever witnessed ; and it may
n t prove uninteresting to our readers to
compare our present c nditino to that of
Southwestern Georgia some SO rears agti.
Notwithstanding the fact that her people ;
are still to a great extent laboring under j
tho effects of the late war, there is a dis-'
play of more enterprise and business ener
gy than at any previous time.
Many years ngo the State of Georgia,
by lottery gave her public lands to her cit
izens, in that part of tbe State known as ;
Southwestern Georgia. They were laid j
off in large tracts, the lots in some counties j
containing four hundred aud ninety acres, j
At that time these lands were thought to !
be worthless, and many fortunate drawers
(if these land lotteries never </rantul them -
that is pftid the sum of five dollars sot the
grunt.
About 1830 pome investigafon proved
much of tie land to be valuable, which in
duced speculators to buy it up, especially
that portion situated between the Chatta
hoochee and Fl'nt rivers. These lauds
were in a short time populated with emi
erai.ts from this and other States, and so
rapid w-s the improvement that 1800,
found the flourishing cities of Savhnnah
Macon and Cohimbus, and the towns of
Albany and Fort Gains connected by rail
roads, r.nd a number of other important
rauoiuJs some of them partial
ly completed. So many of these great
arteries -of trade, so recently made in a
new country, are certainly sufficient evi
dence of its great importance. So, it
be seen that in the space of less than thir
ty years, we And the forests of pine, the
imaginary sen, of swnmp6 jungles and
“worthless lands” of those who did not
care to pay the amount of five dollars for
tbe grant of lots drawn from the public lot
cry, converted into a modern Egy pt—the
Eden of the sunny South— a Innd pre-emi
neat in agriculture, great in commerce, and
literally ot-"u>ilk and honey.”
Within few months we have known more
than one of the citizens of our own county
to make tours of inspection iu other parts
—u little discouraged by the present state
of affairs—principally in most cases, by the
loss of so much of the cotton crop by the
indisposition of so many of the freedmen
to work. Hut wbat do they say when
they return? “This is about as good as
any.”
Considering tbe condition of our whole
country, politically, there is no section in
the late Confederacy, which has been less
affected by the unnatural changes in our
social system brought about by the war
than our own. The diabolical attempts
of quasi philanthropist to damage our land
still more by the instigation tfawarof
races has met with poor success, and we
Had the negroes generally nearer their
proj>er sphere than in many other sections.
Oar f turo mia our own bands—let us
shape it with due judgement.
Texas Electioh.—Texas elee.ion re
turns are largely ia favor of Throck Morton
for Governor, and the Uokm Conservative
ticket is elected by an tuswmiis* majority
Tuk Legislatures and the (Jowstmution
al Amendment. —lt is stated that Gov
Swaun will not oall an extra session rs the
Maryland Legislature to ratify the constitu
tional amendment. A dispatch from Wash
ingtou says also that it is rumored is that
city that the Governors of at least two or
three Western States will not convene their
State Legislatures for the purpose of ratify
ing ‘.he amendment. Tho fiends of tbe ad
ministration are fully satisfied that it will not
he acted upon by the necessary number of
States (27) before the fall elections. It is
slso considered very doubtful whether a
quorum of the Tennessee Legislature can bo
got together Uiis summer.
I The Wheat Crop. —The wheat crop,
j says the Columbus Sun, where it has been
threshed, us we learn from almost every
portion of the South and south-west,is turn
ing out mnch better than was anticiprted th e
yield being far ahead of last year. This being
the case, wo look for a decline in flovr from
tbe present figures. Tbe South and tbo
South-West has made nearly, if not quite
enough to supply tbe home demand.
The receipts from customs since the lat
of July last, up to tho 10th ids) , amounted
to the enormous sum of <163,000,000 in
gold. Tbe total receipts for the fiscal year
ending on the 80th of June, it is estimated,
will reach <170,000,000, again t less than
<85,000,000 last year. This tells the tale
of overtrading, which has enabled the specu
lators to get control of the gold market in
New York and run the premium up to an
exorbitant price.
Ma. Davis and Family—A late Por
tree Monroe dispatch states that in the re
cently handsomely fitted up casemate at For
tress Monroe for the accommodation of Mr.
and Mrs. Jeff Davis and their family, they
Ere mw living vi ry eoaifc rtably aDd pleas
antly. Their numerous friends furnish
them with all the various luxuries of the sea
son, and the government it stinting nothing
to make their residence at the seaside during
tbe summer season as agreeable as possible.
The relaxation by the military authorities
of the restraints upon the movements of Mr.
Davis is having n very brnrficial effect upoD
his henlth. Tho weather is very warm,
A Washington correspondent says the
Ways and Means Committee have finished

Special Correspondence of flic
Dawson Journal.
Washington, D C. Jnne 27th 1866.
Dear Journal: —Although the fear of an
nihilation by the people, and the persistent
opposition of the administration, drove tbe
Republican party from the destruction Com
mittiee’s Radical programme, and from the
leadership of Thad. Stevens to that of tho
more orafty Fessenden, it is very evident
that tbe forced abandonment Las only inten
sified their bitterness towards, and hatred of
the Pi evident.
Soon after the adoption of tbo “Caucus”
plan by the House, and without awaiting
the action of the President and Secretary of
State, they passed a concurrent resolution,
which does not require tbe signature of
the President, instructing him to cause
properly circulated copies of the document
to be sent to the Executives of the States,
to be submitted by them to thoir legisla
tures Coi gress net unfrequently resorts
to these concurrent resolutions of late, by
way of manifesting thoir contempt for the
man, who not only refuses to be made the
instrument for the accomplishment of their
mad schemes, bat defies all their efforts at
intimidation.
The President in reply to thi fr resolu - 1
tion did not stop with the iufi rmatiou that.;
the work which it ecjlined had been execu I
ted two days in advtncc of the passage of 1
the resolution, but went on to state that
he regarded the aot as one purely min- j
Serial, which in no way committed his
administration to the support of the plan ;
proposed, Ho also read them a wholesome i
lecture and the propriety of hastily adopting !
Constitutional amendments materially affect-!
ing 8.000,000 of people who are unjustly
denied a voice in the affairs pf the govern
ments and as hastily forcing thejn upon the
consideration of Legislatures eleoted before
the creation of any such issue, and controlled
by the most subservient p- rty epirir, there
by preventing the people from having any
thing to say in the matter- For his pains
in this respect, he of courso receives only
thieir intensified damnation. He knew what
tbe result would be howeer, ana bo spoke
not for Congress, although addressing that
body but tor the people, who sometimes hear
and read, and who will get hold of this
question some day.
Another evidence'of the confiding love of
Congress in tba President, was recently giv-;
en by tacking on to an important bill in the
House an amendment providing that no ar
my officer shall be removed from his posi
tion without a Couit Martial. This mon- ,
strous proposition which would prevent
either the President or the Secretary of War
’ from chaDgiug and esiggniog the commands
af officers in the army originated in tbe
vague apprehensisu that General Howard
might fall under the ban of the President,
and give pisce to mother as Head of the
I Freedmen ■ Bureau. These and many oth- j
5 er manifestations of potty spite—contempt!- |
r ble in their origin nod the spirit that die- !
( tales them—are of almost constant occur
renoe, and from my present stand point, I
* can see no indications of returning unity
and good feeling in Congress.
Under this state of thing*, tbo best men
' of the dominant party ave impressed with
n the “writing on the wall,” and recog
e oizel the necessity of anew eourso of
I not ion biased »pon the y*>lioy of the *d
ministration. They see only evil to result
from an attempt in the pressent
state of the case to maintain the ascen
dency of tbo Republican party by intensi
fying its sectionalism, when every consid
erate of unity, peace aDd proepeiity sug
gests greater nationalism.
Therefore the Executive Committee of the
National Uuion Club publish iu the pa
pers of this morning a call for a National
Convention, comrosed of two delegates
from each Congressional District, and four
from each State at large, to meet at Phil
adelphia on tbe 14th day of August next
to hold counsel together ou the present
state of the Union.
This all cemrs like a ray of hope iu a dark
hour-—the creed submitted for the consid
eration of delegate! is emiueutly loyal aDd
patriotic. It embraces these cardinal doc
trines, which are the only true basis of Na
tionalism, viz;
1. The union of tho States indisolbble
and perpetual.
2. The equality of the States in rights
and dignity including the right of represon
tation.
3. Slavery being abolished, cannot and
ought not to be revived.
4. The States the only rightful judges of
the qualification of their own electors.
5. The maintenance inviolate of the
rights of tho States to regulate their do
mestic affairs in their own way, subject
only to the Constitute >n of t&c United States.
6. Each House of Congress, ft r itsself the
only rightful judge cf the election returns
and qualifications of its members, and tbe
rcjectiou or exclusion of loyal Senators and
Representatives, when properly chosen and
qualified, is unjust and revolutionary
7. The purpose of tho war, viz: tho put
ting down of tho rebellion, having been ac
complished, war measures should e-ase, and
peare and commerce should be promoted.
8. No delegate can take a scat in such
Cenvontion who dues not accept tbe na
tural situation and cordial[y endorse the
foregoing principles, and who is not attached
in true allegience to the Constitution, the
Uuion aud tbe Government of the United
States.
Sure : y the patriotic people of the South,
in view of the momentous interest at slake
cannot fail to meet the conservative masses
of the Nirth under this high national ground
You must forget the past with its hopes and
disappointments, and look to that future
which promises a eomraon glory aud reDOwn
to a united, people if they will but compre
hend the dutie , and meet the cbi c aions
of the hour. Send up your Stephens, your!
Johnroas, your Lamars, your Haideus, your;
Gardeners,your Neabits, aud your men of
enlarged aud comprehensive views, but keep
your petty wranglers and wordy heroes at
home.
The necssitics fur thisßew movement are
obvius. The Republican party “so called,”
as at present constituted, is not cap»pablc
of successfully managing the affairs anu des
tinies of this great nation. In its personnel
it embraces wliigs of the Seward school,
Buffalo free soilers of the Chase school, abo
litionists of every degree, from the insane
Garrison, to the gigantic and philosophi
cal Beeche r ; disciples who regard the Con
st tition as a “wicked compact with tie
devil,” and those who were willing to let
the Union slide \ men rocked in the cradle
of prejudice, and where bitterness towards
the Southern people, has become, a part of
their nature; and last but not least., a large
body of men of the Jefferson, and Jacksou
sohool of politics who bocanio identified
with the party from a oneness of foiling
and purpose to avert the late attempt at a
dissolution of the' Union. These elments
are inharmonious. Those who havo hereto
fore subsisted alone upon their sectional
prejudices, desire to strive for future ascen
dency by intentl/yiny the sectionalism of
the party, while as before stated, the more
liberal, recognize the paramount duty of na
tionalism.
Ou the* other hand the old Democratic
party, as at present organized, or disorgan
ized, is not in a condition to assutno the
control and manage the affairs of the nation.
In the South rebellion sank it into infamy
under the lead cf the Ithcltf. the Iversons,
; and the Yanceys, while in the North, the
j seducing cout sels of the Woods, the Long®,
| an! the Valandingham?, have left it with a
polluted rcoord and greatly thinned ranks.
| The true plan then, si to organize all the
elements of nationality, North and Sonth in
to a great National Uuion party to be. hcad
led by the administration, of President
Johnson. Iladic&l sectionalism will then
be ctushed, animosities will be wiped out;
comity and good will will take the place of
strife and discord ; commerce and industry
will fliurisb, and we will soon blossom'
as t ho rose.
Thomas A Kendrick of Indiana, tbe
leading U. 8 S .rfitor on the Democratic
side unites, with the Committco ia announc
ing this oall, and if the Southern people
will only take hold of the matter in a prop
er spirit, there is little doubt but what the
movement will rally to its support almost
| the entire Democracy of the North.
Tho weather is opprossively hot hero at
present —so much so that sleeping is almost
j out of the question. Notwithstanding this
j fact however, Congress, gives less promise of
i adjournment now than at my last report.—
j The half baked citizens are seeking tempo
! rary relief by numerous excusions by day
j and night down the Potomac, to various
points of interest. Ia the meantime intesti
nal di, oases prevail extensively, creating ap
prehension of the early advent of cholera.

A Double gnciMt — A determined dou- j
ble'suioidc, Dear Paris, bus just been brought!
to light. A river keeper on tbe Marne, while |
passing along the banka near Joinville-le- ;
Pont, observed the bodies of male and female '
floating near the surface. Having brought,
them to laud they were found to be bound to
gether, the man’s left arm to the woman’s
right, while the former had also about ten
pounds weight of stone in his pockets
They were each elegantly dressed, bore no
marks of violence, and had apparently been
in the water about a tortnign'.
The Chicago Republican quotes the re
oent expression of Thad. Stevens in Congress,
that “be would not give the snap of bis fin
ger for the plan of reconstruction with the
; third sec’ion lelt out,” afidj replies “ Ua
j less Mr Stevens and bis associates in Con
! gress hasten up tho important work of rc-
J storing the Union, they will find that the

I dote care very much for an immediate restc

1 tattle ill Mexico.
Brownsville, Texas June, 18, )
via New Orleans, June 25. j
Wo Lave very important intelligence
from Mexico this morning. On the 7tb
inat., Gen. Mejia started a train from Mat
nmorns for Monterey, of 250 wage, s heavi
ly laden with valuablo merchandise. The
value of the traiu was near <2,000,000.
A guard of at least 1,600 Impeiial troops,
under the command of Gen. Olvera, went
with it. Oo the 16th inat., Geo. Escobedo,
at the head of 4,008 Liberal troops, attacked
the train between C’amargo and Meir, the
fight commencing at 6 o’clock in the morn
ing, and resulted in a complete victory to the
Liberals. The Mexican Imperial troops
threw down their arms ; tho Austrang fought
desperately, but were overpowered. Tbo
Imperial loss was 500 killed and wounded,
800 prisoners, 14 pieces of artillery, and the
entiro train of 250 wagons Tho Liberal
loss ia very slight. Gen. Olvera, Imperial,
is severely wounded through tbo shoulder,
but escaped capture. Geii. Mejia still holds
Malamoras with a handful of troops, but
will be forced now to evacuate* This victo
y will give the Liberals poseession of North
ern Mexico.
Cortidas is reported to be between Mata
moras and the stragglers of Olvera’s army,
and will no doubt, capture many prisoners.
These facts are pt rfectlv reliable,having beeD
gathered from official letter* received from
Escobedo’s headquarters, and are fully cor
roborated by a gentleman from Matamoras.
LATER.
One hnnered Imperial cavalry have reach
ed Mutauioras, and oorroborted the above.
They say Olvera is badly wounded, an 1 will
reach tbe city some time to-day.
Plait of the Campaign.
The whole plan of the campaign has been
thorong! ly arranged, but has bscn kept se
cret till the present, movement of tho Prus
sian troops makes tbe probable intention of
Pt ince (Juarles Fredrick evident. He has
bad bis headquarters for several days at
Marearo, and tho first second corps, making
the western wing of the whole army, bavo
been cantoned arc tied there. Tbe King will
leave Berlin and take command of the army
in person, with General Molkte as chief of
staff, while General Von Voigt Reretz took
the same position with Prince Fredrick
Charles.
It is the plan of Austria, no doubt, to at
tack Silesia, thus driving the Prussians to
alvance on Dresden. The moment tbe Prus
sians crossed into Raxony, it is belioved that
| BcDodek’s troops on the Bohemian frontier
of Saxony would at, onco move oa Dresden.
The Austrians will thus, if they use the
railways, gain oonsidcrablo advance upon
the Prussians , and reach the Saxon
capital first. Bencdek will probably at
tempt to carry tho war into Saxony, and
Southern Bra-denburg, because the line be
twoen tbe Bohemian frontier and Berlin is
shorteT by that route than by Silesia, and
Berlin i» supposed to be his objective point
The plains of SaxCny also afford favorable
ground for the edebrated Austrian cavalry.
The movement, however, is too littie advan
ced to develop fully the plan of either army.
Crinxell’s Statement—The following
is the statment of Mr Grinnell before the oom
mittee appointed to investigate the difficulty
between. Rousseau and himself:
As 1 was passing out of the rotunda I was
seized by Mr. Rousseau, who swrariug says,
“I want an apology.” To this I. replied,
“Yuu are tbe one to apologize; yon began
the attack. I havo no apology to make.”—
( lacing his band on his breast to draw a
weapon, I seized him by the collar, when he
■truck me five or six times over the face
wilt a cane having an iron end, until it was
briken. I said, “You have assaulted me in
the house, but. I have no desire to hurt vou.”
He said, “You and and coward, I want to de
grade you ” I saib, “ You oaount do it. I
i uly defended myself in debate.” He con
tinued swearing, when I said, “If tire crowd
is done with me I will leave,” and picked up
a piece of the cane and walked away. I
was alone and saw him surrounded with
friends. I did not resist, presuming there was
a purpose to assassinate me. I have suff-T
--ed considerably from tbe injuries in ike sac«
and on tbe shoulder, received from tho iron
point cf the canc.
Mexican News —The Matamoras Ranch
ero, of tho 16tb,says:
That Cordova affair turns out that nobody
was kilted, and had nothing to do with the
Liberal party.
From what wo can learn, several Ameri
cans took advantage of some poor Mexican
girls, which aroustd the indignation of rela
tives. The consequence was that an armed
party, friends and relations of the girls, seiz
ed and carried offls Anaericare. None had
been killed or would be. Two of the party
had been released, who said the others were
safe.
If this hi. true, which beyond dcubt it is,
tbe patties who mmmitted the outrage on
tbe girls ought to have boen hung on the
spot.
MEXICAN NEWS.
Washington, July I—A 'ettcr from a
source to be credited, dated Tampico, Mexi
co, June 10, says the people of HuojueOe
and all other principal towns in Huasse Dis
trict, havo raided again in favrr of Juartz. —
V*ictoiii is aUo in the hinds of the Juarzists.
The writer says the latter will take Tampi
co from the Imperialists, its capture beiug
entirely feasible, as it is garrisoned by Mex
i loans, impressed in the service, and they will
not fight against their own people.
i Violent Btohm. —Our oity was visited
;on yesterday afternoon by a violent storm
which did considerable damage. Mr. L. B-.
Davis , one of our broad street merchants
waa seriously injured by tho fall of a cotton

condtieted for the last 25 years by my father (Lu

Aud has now on hand and will continue to fceeD

good supply of Harness of niy own make.
As I am prepared and determined to sustain
the former reputation of the shop, 1 use nothing
but the best material, employ none but the best
workmen, and consequently build nothing but first
class work, tiutebed in the most superior arui dura
ble style, and not to be excelled by aDy similar
establishment North or South.
Owing to my superior advantages for
Manufactur in g,
I can sell as low as elsewhere, and I respectfully
invite all persons in want of a good article at a
low price to give me a call aud examine my stock
before purchasing elsewhere.
