8A week or so since wo published
tho rumor that Dr. Bard was a silent
partner in the Atlanta Daily Snn. The
rumor we published on tho authority of
the Augusta Sentinel. The Sun denies
tho statement, which, of course, is
clnaive.
In a few weeks Bard will commence the
publication of a “draw it mild" Radical
journal in Atlanta.
Actions for damages, to the
amount of $30,000, resulting from the
late collision on the South Carolina Rail
road, have been commenced against the
railroad company by John Mishaw, who
lost a child, and was himself injured on
that occasion.
Wonderful Eoos.—The Editor of the
Columbus (Ky.,) Dispatch was lately
shown nino eggs each marked on tho
larger end with a calearous formation
closely resembling the Arabic figuro cor
responding with its number in the order
which it was laid. The figures running
from 1 to 9 inclusive, are of different
degrees of perfection, but all are
ficiently well formed to be readily dis
tinguished os indicating 4lie number ns
eribed to it Tho placing of the figures
was doubtless the result of the immuta
l»lo laws of nature, yet to the finite mind,
we must confess, tho strange ! occurrence
seems little short of a miracle. The eggs
have been duly consigned to the cai
their natural owner. The chicks which
will bo brought forth, wo suppose, may
be said to have been “ counted before
they were hatched."

“Squelch Hnt. "—Such is the almost
universal cry of the Northern press
against Bullock—the Radical papers quite
ns vehement as the rest. Tho Chicago
Times (Dem.) gives him a broadside thus:
It is about timo that Bullock wop
“squelched, " and Congress .annot bet
ter commend itself to honest members of
tho Republican party than by putting its
heel on this demagogue and knave. He
is an object of detestation to all men who
respect propriety and honesty in official
l office
life, and the continuance of him
Governor is an outrage.
The investigation into his attempt to
bribe Senators
that he employ<
. r others <o make
tempt, and this alone should procure his
instant dismissal. If Georgia bo a pro
visional government, Congress can dis
miss him. If the government bo not a
provisional one, why is not tho State ad
mitted to Congress? Congress is respons
ible for Bullock, and stands as the indors
er of his scandalous career.
Charity.—We see in the Memphis Ap-
]>eaf, of the 21st, nit, an account of a lit
tle girl’s charity, that is tho most touch
ing and beautiful evidence of kindness
we have ever read of. It seems that
Mrs. Reid, who thousands will bless,
has been traveling through tho country,
soliciting aid for the Confederate Or
phans’ Home, of Mississippi. She de
livered a lecture not long since in Louis
ville, and among the attendance was a
little girl, JennieS. Marly, thirteen years
of age, who was so touched with the tale
of suffering, told by Mrs. Reid, that her
little heart was almost broken with grief,
and she determined to do something
for the little orphans. She had only
a string of buttons (our little girls call
them charm strings), this she determin
ed o give, though each button remind
ed her of some cherished friend. This
string of buttons was hnmedix telv sold,
and given again by the purchaser to
Mrs. Reid, who has continued to sell
it, each time getting it back, till this little
string of buttons has brought eight thou
sand dollars. God bless little Jennie.

Hence, from

Macon, May 24th, 1870.
Editor Republican : After
drouth, this city was promised to-day a
copious shower. The clouds rolled up
for a while threatening to pour out
luge, but alas! no rain came sufficient to
sprinkle the dusty streets. The univer
sal cry is for min, and .if tho sincerity of
the prayers of all classes is a pledge of
success, it cannot bo long before the
Father of all mercies, who sendeth the
early and tho latter rain, will heed and
answer tho petition.
Tho writer has recently passed through
Schley, Marion, Talbot, Meriwether and
Troupe counties, Ga., and some of the
Eastern connties of Alabama, and the
same drouth is everywhere prevalent.

We desire to record our dcliltemtecon-
iction that in felicity and forco of rhet
oric this passage is, on tho whole, the
finest thing the discussion has piodnced.
Late editors who want to use expressive
language would do well to take a lesson
two from this master.
Disaffection Extending.—Tho Ger
mans of Indianapolis has joined those of
St. Louis, in tho programme adopted
against tho Republican party. In Cin
cinnati several associations have taken
tho same course. These movements
important. The result will be that the
largo Radical majorities in those cities
will become harmless minorities. Tho
strength of the dominant party was large

ring the last twenty years, but the latter
part of this period has opened tho ey<
of the “red republicans,” and Biack lb

American Israelite Convention.-This
body which met in New York on Monday,
adjourned sine die on Tuesday evening.
The Special Committee, previously up-
pointed, to whom was referred the re
port of the Executive Committee, sub
mitted an extended document at their
report. The gist of it was that 8100 in
gold be distributed towards the support
of the Jewish Hospital at Jerusalem;
also that it was to be regretted that the
United States were not to be represented
in Bonmainia in order to intercede in be
half of humanity in favor of the Jews
against persecution, and expressing satis
faction at the intention of President
Grant to appoint shortly an American
Consul for Bucharest, who will receive
proper instructions on this subject—

THE FENIAN WAR.
It seems that the irrepressible Fenian
organization has made another on

movement:
Rochester, May 25.—To-day several
carloads of Fenians, ticketed for Malone,

New York, 25th.—The evening papers
ive specials that General John O’Neill
crossed at St. Alban’s, saying he would
never recross the lines unless victorious
dead. The troops move in two columns,
upon St John’s and one in the direc
tion of Richmond. The utmost conster
nation prevails in Canada, owing to the
ntter lack of preparation for resistance.
Syracuse, 25th.—Three hundred Fen
ians left to-day, three hundred left last
midnight, and two hundred in squads
departed previously.
Oltowa, Canada, 25th.—The .United
States have 150 troops on their way to

Toronto, Canada, 25th.—Tho Govern
ment appears to be advised of Feniau
movements, and prepared for any attempt
at invasion.
Montreal, Canada, 25 th.—Further
news indicates that the Fenians are de
termined to make a movement on tho
eastern frontier. Large numbers of men
parading close to tho lines. _ It is
stated the Fenians have cat the wires at
Whitehall, and the latest advices state
they have crossed the lines iu force. A
considerable force left here yesterday for
the frontier.
Albany, 25tli.—A report lias been
ceived here, dated St. Albans at 4 p. i
that heavy fighting had been going
Franklin since noon, between the
forces of Gen. O’Neill and the Canadian
militia.
Boston, 25th.—Fenian headquarters
have advices that the advance guard
crossed the border this afternoon and
took possession of Pigeon Hill A raid
has been made on the Grand Trunk rail
road. 30 miles of rails were torn up.
500 Fenians with arms and 100 wagons
containing ammunition, passed through
Massenna last night. 400 Fenians ar
rived at Waterton this morning. 200
Fenians arrived from Rome and got off
at Patt’s Dam, evidently old soldiers.
The number of Fenians at St. Albans is
estimated at 1,800. The Fenian plan is
said to be to send out small bodies of
cavalry to harass the border at various
points, thus distracting attention while
the main body will moke a grand attack
in an unexpected quarter. Latest dis
patches say the Fenians are at Front
river, preparing to cross. 3,000 Fenians
aro at Pigeon Hill entrenching, and tho
G9th British regiment lias gone to attack
them, and news has been received that
fighting has commenced. It is rumored
that O’Neill has been arrested l>y the
U. 8. authorities. Gen. Starr, with a
large force, has crossed the lines. A
great conflagration is raging in Quebec,
but the Fenians having cut the wires,
particulars cannot be obtained.
LATEST.
Washington, May 26.—The mass of
the Fenian news shows that the capture
of O’Neill, whom Marshal Foster seized
while the fight was progressing and
thrust into a hack on the back seat
and carried him off, demoralized the Fe
nians. O’Neill was committed in default
of $20,000 bail. Unless speedily re-in-
forced, the expedition within the vicini
ty of St Albans will be a fizzle.
Malcne,N.Y., 26ih.—Four regiments
of Feniaus have crossed the Front river,
and ore now moving on Huntingdon.
Col. Cleary commands, and Cols. Smith,
McQnode, Thompson and Campbell
command regiments.

XIX Century, published at Charleston,

pany, C. E. Chichester, Business Mana
ger. There is a life, vigor, boldness,
earnestness, elasticity, comprehensibility
refreshing. From first to lost the worl
is perfect. Its pages contain some of
the finest literaro productions of tho age,
while its editorials evince a knowledge of
men, manners and customs, nations aud
the laws of nations, greatly in contrast
with many magazine articles purporting
to come from the leading statesmen and
brilliant minds oftheday. There is to be
found in The XIX Century tho usual
variety of[light and heavy reading, sketch
es, descriptive articles, reminices, argu
ments, incidents and editorial mention-
ing3—all evincing the highest order of
talent, and most excellent taste in make
up and presentation.
“Tho price of this worthy aud most
excellent magazine is three dollars and a
half per year—single numbers thirty-five
cents. We advise our readers, especially
the ladies, to sbuscribe for it if they can
afford so to do. If they would see for
themselves the beauties find excellences
of the work, let them enclose thirty-five
cents to the publishers at Charleston, S.
“We should not ask peoplo
scribe for and help sustain this periodical
but fo* its excellence, sterling merit, *

the reading public, no matter whet

prise is a deserving one—and confident
that it wonld be a welcome visitor receiv

A Timely Prayer.
Before tho adjournment of the Alabama
Legislature in Montgomery, at its list
session, a pious divine, who was in the
habit of praying for tho convicts in the
penitentiary at Wetnmpka, lrnviug the
love of truth and the fear of God before
him, was requested by tho Speaker of
the House to open the proceedings with
rayer, which he did in the following
lanner :
“ O Lord, we pray Thee that thy mer-
ies may be extended to these poor men,
ho have been sent here from all parts
of.the United States, convicted of various
crimes and misdemeanors; have merey

Hon. Jefferson Davis Addresses a

four thousand five hundred children and
ten thousand adults attended the Sunday
school celebration at Jackson, Tennessee
last Tuesday. Tho schools of all the
towns in that section were represented.—
A letter describing the demonstration,
says: “ The Hon. Jefferson Davis was

in an earnest and thrilling manner. His
appearance on the stand was hailed by a
tremendous burst of applause. Tho Hon.

and made a few pertinent remarks. It

kind of like magnitude. ”
B&-A man‘named Weston lias per
formed the feat of walking one bundled
miles in twenty-two hours, in New York.
It was done in twenty-one hours aud
forty minutes. A dispatch says: Du
ring tho timo he took nine rests, varying
from three miuntes to niue minutes and
torty seconds. The walking was witness
ed by a concourse of abont 4,000 people
for an hour or two before the walker
reached his last mile. At the conclusion
of the exercises, Weston embraced bis
friend, Mr. Bruce, one of the sportiug
editors of the city, and passionately kissed
him. The enthusiasm was great, aud
the result of the walk to the walker, was
a purse of 81,500. Westou professed to

From all sect ions of Georgia, Flor
ida, aud Alabama, our exchanges bring
us cheering accounts of the crop pros
pects. For several weeks the complaints
of drouth were universal throughout the
region named, and iu some portions of
Geoj^in and Florida serious apprehen
sions of a failure of both tho cotton and
corn crops were entertained till within
few days past, when all anxiety was i
lieved by copious raius, which seem to
have extended throughout the country.

New Enoland.—Now Englaud rules
the United States pud Boston rules New
England. Here is Wendell Phillips’ de
scription of Boston :
Boston is a city in which every tenth
person is n criminal and every seventh a
pauper. Three-quarters of our farms are
mortgaged for drink, two-tliirds of the
pulpits are filled with drunkards, and the
bench of justice is nearly vacant because
ie-lialf of the judges have died drunk
ards.
Now, let somebody reform Boston.
That is our only hope.
A Flood Coming.—The Mobile Regis
ter paints this glowing picture : * “ We
at the beginning of a flood-tide of a
vast white immigration from Europe.—
The grain business is overdone in the
West and California. There are-no fur
ther temptations to mouey-makiug in
these regions, and to-day the South of
fers the most tempting field for new set
tlers and laborers and artisans and capi
talists in the known world. The whole
civilized world is waking up to a con
sciousness of this fact, and those of
who live five years longer will bo amazed
at the results of causes uoav in active op
eration. ”

Important Decision.—The Huntsville
Democrat, of the 21st nit, gives tho fol
lowing report of a late decision of the U.
S. District Court, rendered in that city:
On Thursday last,
petition filed in tlio United States Dis
trict Court by Lsham J. Fennel, in oppo
sition to the discharge of Thos. S. McCal-
ley in bankruptcy, and presenting a claim
for 820,000, being a bill of exchange
drawn by B. T. Moore on Bradley, Wil
son 6c Co., at New Orleaus, La., and in
dorsed by McCalley, the bill of exchange
having been protested by a New Orleans
Notary Pnblic, for non-acceptance in Oc
tober, 1861, and for non-payment in Jan
uary, 1862, a question arose as to the le
gality in a United States Court of said
protests by any officer of a seceded State
and the transmission of notices of protests
to McCalley by a Confederate mail and
postmasters.
John Bnsteed decided, on tho authori
ty of Tlioaington vs. Halley, that acts
done by persons in States which were in
antagonism to the United States Govern
ment, if regular and authorized by the
power regnant, must be recognized as le
gal, provided those acts wero not done ia
aid of the rebellion. Ho said that the
notary public, tho jiostmasters aud mail
carriers in question were regular and au
thorized by the power regnant, and their
Crops in Baker.—A correspondent
writing from Newton to the Macon Tele
graph «fc Messenger, in speaking of the
crops in that section, says :
The cotton is growing rapidly, and
looking well, and from the amount plant
ed, I would say, that in Baker county, at
least, an overwhelming crop will be i ’
What little corn there is planted, is pro
gressing upwards with surprising rapidi
ty, and from the present stand point,
promises to do all that could be expected.
Bright anticipations of the future, how
ever, are but seldom realized; aud disap
pointment lurks in the paths of the ex
pectant men. From what I can hear,
very little corn is planted, the example of
Madam Ceres, in this respect by her dis
ciples and followers being cost aside and
forgotten.. Corn is her favorite, because
it Is tho bread of life. She invented and
originated the art of its production. And
of it her golden tinged crown is made. If
is a great pity to see the old woman, it
this age of progress, so rudely neglected,
nono bowing at her throne, and in wor
shipping tones saying:
To thee, fair goddess, we’ll a garland
plait,
Of ears of corn, to adorn thy temple gate. 1
Abide thy time, oh, Ceres, spare thy
anger, the day is coming when thy wor
shippers will bo many, and when thy

Greely on the South.—The New
York Tribune says “ tho South lias two
noblo characteristics—a brave way of
looking facts in the face, comprehending
tho state of disaster as a prelfmincry to
fresh enterprise, ” aud a tendency to agri
cultural pursuits “as the noblest, most
honest and permanent vocation. ” Given
these premises in any society, says the
Tribune, and no disasters can prove irre
trievable.
ience to thy i>recept will
then be esteemed a privilege—hasten tho
day, tor where thou rulest, oh Queen,
plenty reigns.

No Corn.—Corn ia very scarce. On
Monday last, we learn that there was not
a single bushel of Corn for sale in this
city. Cotton planters are running about
in search of corn to keep their mules alive,
until they ^an make another cotton crop.
When, oh ! oh ! when, will our farmers
learn to raise their owu corn and oats.
The sooner they learn this important
lesson tho better for them and the
country.—Tdledego Reporter.
Col Mosuy.—One of the sensatiou dis
patches from the North, a few days ago,
stated that Colonel John S. Mosby, of
Virginia was one of the officers connect
ed with the Feniau invasion of Canada.
Wo stated at tho time that the report was
very doubtful, and it is almost unnecessa-

lady threatened revenge for their nnkind-

threat into execution in a terrible man

merly a slave of one of tho fanners in the
vicinity. Nothing was heard of her un

Mosey Orders by Telegraph.—With-
a few days, says tho Mobile Register,
th5*manugers of the Western Union Tele
graph Company have put in operation a
system by which payments of money can
be made telegraphically at any point
reached by the various lines. A person
wants to make a payment iu New York,
for iustance; he has ouly to deposit tbe
money at the office liore to the person to
whom he wishes to make the payment,
telegraph to him that, such deposit has
been made, aud the payee collects at the
New York office. A small fee is charged
for tho service. The system 'will work
conveniently and advantageously oabor
tween the larger cities, for large amounts*
but as between tho smaller stations it can
not very well bo carried out on any very
extensive scale, unless each office is sap
