A Trap tq Dawson.—Tho Superior
Coart of Terrell connty being in session
the present week, we availed ourself the
privilege of a short visit to tho beautiful
town of Dawson, the county-site.
Among the members of tho bar in at
tendance, with whom we had the pleasure
of meeting, were S. D. Irvin, of Macon;
Jndge D. A. Vason, Gen. Wright, Mor
gan and Hobbs, of Albany; F. A. West of
Starkville; G. W. Warwick, of Smithville,
Judge Clark, Hood, Fielder and Dong-
lass, of Cuthbert, and Col. W. A. Haw
kins, of Americas.
There were no criminal cases on the
docket, and bat one hundred and thirty-
eight civil cases, fifty of which had been
disposed of up to Thursday morning. It
is generally believed by the Attorneys
that the docket will be entirely cleared at
the present term of the court. Jnuge
Harrell seems to give general satisfaction
as a presiding officer. The business of
the court move* on very systematically,
there being no delay whatever, when a case
Is called. Quiet reigns in the court room
daring its entire sittings.
Dawson has improved wonderfully
since our last visit, five years aj
were astonished to see the number of
business houses that have been erected
there during that time. We met with bnt
few old acquaintances however, the late
war, death and removal, having made
quite a change in the appearance of things
all around. There is more enterprise and
business about Dawson than any little
town wo know of. Its growth within tho
past six years is truly astonishing. A
few years ago, it was comparatively no
place at all, bnt now it can boast of some
forty or fifty good business houses, two
good schools, chnrclies, a printing office,
factory that gives employment to
some two hundred bauds, and a popu
lation of two thousand. The ladies
handsome, intelligent and refined,
and the gentlemen industrious enters
prising, and polite.
There is one thing however that Daw-
n stands greatly in need of, and that is,
good hotel The gentleman who has
charge of the house at that place, certain
ly understands mote about, raising corn
and hogs, than he does of keeping a hotel.
We would advise him to abandon the
project of entertaining the public, and
follow a pursuit more congenial to his
taste.
We coversed with a number of farmers
reference to their growing crops, and
Whs invariably told that notwithstanding
the drought, the crops were not suffer
ing, but looking remarkably well. Co
pious showers of rain fell throughout the
county on Wednesday, which was grate
fully received by the farmers.
On Wednesday evening we attended a
concert given by the Dawson Brass Band,
assisted by a numl*er of yonng ladies of
the place. The exercises throughout re
flected much credit on tho entire
pany, especially did the ladies perform
their part admirably.
We were pleased to learn from onr
friend Weston that the Journal is on the
high road of prosperity. Success to it
We were sorry however to see him look
ing so old. An Editor’s cares sefcin to
weigh heavily upon him judging from his
personal appearance. There is room for
improvement, and we would suggest to
him to occasionally visit Amcricusand
place himself under the shainpooning
process of Riley Covington our barber,
who will make such a change in his per
sonal appearance that his friends in Davf-
son will not know him when he returns.
Mr. W. F. Combs, the gentlemanly
foreman of the effice, and a good printer,
has become associate Editor of tho paper.
Combs is rather a fine looking fellow, bnt
Weston, oh git out.
Altogether our visit to Dawson was a
very agreeable and pleasant one.
The Reason Why.—Wo hear mer
chants complain that business is dull. It
is not expected to lie otherwise, if mer
chants don’t advertise. If yon have
goods to sell yon must let the public
know it. If you can sell calico cheaper
than New York, Savannah or Macon
merchants, or any other Americas
merchant, you must give publicity to the
fact. You cannot complain of the dull
ness of your trade till you inform the
public what stock you have and what
bargains you offer. The people read the
Republican and a ten dollar advertise-
, ment in this paper is worth a hundred
dollar greenback to any merchant, drug
gist, lawyer, or any other man in the city
of Americas.' Try it

By authority of the Lodge, I hereby
appoint the following Board of Visitors
for Forlow Masonic Female College at

From an “intelligent contraband" i
learn that the Andersonville frolic wm„ ... ,
huge farce, and we are sore that if 'the Ho “* Bell, CapL C. W.
buried dead could speak, their voices
would unite in aa indignant protest
against such a sacrilegious desecration.
They enlisted in the service of their
country, and the cruel hand of war,
hich fell with equal fatality upon the
wearers of the blue and the gray, has left
them beneath the sod at Andersonville.
That their misfortunes should be seized
upon by such unprincipled ruffians as
Bullock and his co-workers in iniquity,
and that their peaceful graves should be
desecrated by their vile language
still viler presence, is a disgrace to Chris
tianity and tho Government.
But to return to our subject. About
seven hundred negroes were in attend
ance, and not over half a dozen respecta
ble white persons, who were present from
curiosity. A special train from Atlanta
brought His Expressellency, Bullock;
Gen. Krysanowski, the hireling tool of
his Military Dictatorship, Terry, (who,
by tho way, is said to be an eminent
l(aw)yer); parson Collier, of Washington,!
and about seven or eight women, among;
whom were Her Expressellency and Her
Military Bnreauship, the wife of tho
late Georgia Bnreau agent, Lewis.
At the depot, the fatted Bullock
mounted a wagon, and began a philippic
against the Confederacy, the people, and
against everything he could think. of.
Referring to the treatment of prisoners at
Andersonville, he said that six prisoners
were one day taken out of the stockade,
tied hand and foot, ate alive by savage
dogs, and that there were two ‘soldiers
present with Krysanowski, who were
eye witnesses to the deed, and could tes
tify to it.
The gallant General Phil. Cook, of
Oglethorpe, who stood the tirade as long
as he could, at this juncture mounted a
wagon of his own, and declared the state
ment false, and challenged the proof.
This had tho effect of scattering the dar
kies in every direction, and proved that
the General is still as effective in dis-
i persing them as in days of yore.
Bullock then called upon all the dar
kies who belonged to his c7< wreft to come
up and shake bauds with him, which had
the effect of bringing back a few of his
hearers, though the more respectable
groes held themselves aloof from the

The Crops.—Farmers with whom we
have conversed in this and other counties,
report themselves well pleased with the
effects of tho late rains. The shewers
have been general throughout the country
and the happiest results are following.
We learn that five deaths occurred
amongst the colored people of this place,
last Saturday night and Snnday morning,
of whom was the Rev. Nelson Beau
champ, pastor of the colored Methodist
Church. A great deal of sickness pervades
that class of onr population at this time.

States will lie taken under the provisions
of the act of May 23d, 1850, on the first
day of June (to-morrow).

Struck by Lightnino.—The residence
of Charles T. Ward, the Ordinary of Bibb
connty, was struck by lightning on the
25th instant, during the thunderstorm,
and the building and furniture were se
verely injured. Mrs. Ward had just left
it, and was a foot or two inside tho next
apartment, while a servant at tho oppo
site door had her hand upon tho lock in
the act of entering. Both were severely
shocked with electricity. These facts we
gather from the Telegraph k. Messenger.
BgU Hymen & Bro. havo justly earned
an enviable refutation for fair dealing,
and an ability to please customers, which
: cannot be obtained by others. They al
ways keep on hand the best and most
varied stock of dress goods, etc., to lie
found in the city, and their terms of sale
the most liberal. What Hymen &
Bro. can’t do is useless for others to try.
The deputies are jiaid as follows:
Two cents for every name taken; ten
cents for every farm; fifteen cents for
every productive establishment of indus
try; two cents for every dead person, and
two per cent, of the gross amount of
names enumerated for social statistics,
and ten cents per mile for travel.
It will be seen by the foregoing that
the compensation allowed an assistant or
enumerator, provided the district allotted
to him shall not. contain less than 820,000
persons, will be about $600 or more.
The law provides that each deputy, af
ter qualifying, shall perform his duties by
personal visit to each dwelling liouso
and to each family in his subdivision,*and
slrnll ascertain by inquiries mode by some
member of each family, if any one can be
found capable of giving the information,
but if not, then the agent of such family,
the name of each member thereof, the
ago and place of birth of each, sex, color,
etc., and slrnll also visit personally the
farms, mills, shops, mines, or other
places respecting which information is re
quired; and when such information is ob
tained and entered in hia blanks, then
memoranda shall be read to the perao
furnishing the facts for revision.
There is a penalty for refusing to far-
nish the required information to the net
sistant. The act provides that every per
son more than twenty years of age be
longing to any family, in case of the ab
sence of tho heads or other members oi
the family, shall act as agent of such
family, and is required to render a true
statement of the information required,'
pain of forfeiting thirty dollars, to lie
sued for in an action of debt by the de
puty, to the use of the United States.

Dear Sir:—As it has been about one

In the first place I will state that the
farmers are all in fine spirits,' as the crops
are looking fine, and bid fare to make a
very heary crop. Corn is smaller than
this time last year, though it bids fair
to make a heavy yield, and .a suffi
cient breadth of land is planted to make
plenty.
Cotton is doing well and looks well,
though it is smalL Guano has been used

to be general encouragement among all.

Anew volume will begin in July, and
is a good time to subscribe. The

many new features.
Gen. D. II. Hill says : “ We liave

s Hanged.—Btthe Barlow, for
tho murder of John McCluskey, at Indi-

of murder in tho first degree. -Judge
Green, as we learn, in a feelingly deliv
ered sentence, consigned him to the gal
lows—execution of sentence to occur on
Friday, July 1st. Tho. Hacon Journal
says this was one of the mosj deliberate
and cold blooded murders ever perpetra-
trated in the State, and tho condemned
man need not, wo think, expect any exec
utive clemency whatever. The accom
plice, his brother, is still at large, bnt we
hope noon to learn that the vigilance of
honest officials will speedily place him
in position to answer for his share
great crime.
Superior Court.—Judge Clark did
not convene Court yesterday in conse
quence of sickness in hu family. He ad
journed it over, wto understand, until the
regular term in October next In this he
has acted wisely, as it is all important that
onr farmers should take advantage of the
present delightful weather in working
their crops. -The loss of a week at this
particular time might prove disastrous
to tha crops of many of our planters. We
feel satisfied that the adjournment of
Court will be bailed with delight by our
planting friends.

I Communicated.
Mu. Editor : I notice an erroneous
statement in rcfereipe to the recent Deco
ration at Andersoiville last Monday,
from an editorial pfi in Tuesday’s issue
of the Telegraph ibMessenger, saying in
these words that “ nations were deliver
ed by an Ohio preicher and cx-Confeder-
ato Mayor (for ibjor) R. JI. Wliitely, of
Bainbridge. ” The remark was based up
on wrong information, received doubtless
from that tibiqritons and irrepressible
“ reliable gentltman. ’’
For the truth of history and in har
mony, we doubt not, with tho wishes of
your rained exchange, I snbmit a brief
synopsis of eome of the fact3 in regard to
this extraordinary occasion, as detailed
• me by an eye-witness.
The ceremonies were simple and scarce
ly imposing. There were present prob
ably five hundred people, some seventy
whites oi whom about thirty were females,
and the rest their ebony brethren. A
few wreathes and flowers were hung
about on divers head-boards and scatter-
various graves. Numbers oflit-
tlp flags, in juvenile representation of the
star-spangled banner, were planted thro’-
ont what may be called tho inhabited
portion of tho cemetery. ,
Within the cemetery about 11 o’clock
Gov. Bullock inaugurated tho decoratiou
by making some brief extemporaneous
remarks, and was succeeded in n prepar
ed oration by Rev. Mr. Collier, a Chap
lain of the Grand Army of the Republic'.
Gen. Lewis followed in a short speech.
Major Whitely made no remarks what
ever and participated in tho ceremonies
only by his presence, having gone up
from this place to Andersonvillo
12 o’clock train, after the adjournment of
Sumter Superior Court by Judge Clark,
in attendanco upon the session of which
he was here as Solicitor General.
The Confederate graves, of which there
•e 113 in the cemetery, among some
beautiful oaks in the -.o-itliwc-terr. comer
and very neatly mounded an*! marked by
the Federal authorities, were iu no wise
honored or decorated. Beta.

ALLEN’S LUNG BALSAM.
Dr. A. L. Harris is tho inventor of several
medical prcjuirations which havo bocome very
popular, and havo been liberally used. Among
his inventions aro Hall’s Balsam for tho longs
and Liverwort and Tar. For the past six years
a better lung remedy lias been offered to the
public. Read tho following letter from Dr. Sco-
rill referring to it:
Messrs. J. N. Harris A Co.—Gents: I make
tho following statement from a perfect convic
tion of the benefits of Allen's Lung Balsam in
curing the most deep seated pulmonary con
sumption. I have witnessed its effects on the
young and the old, and I can truly My that it is
by far the best expectorant remedy with which I
am acquainted. For conghs, and all the early
stages of lung complaints, I believe it to be a
certain core, and if every family would keep it
it by them, ready to administer upon the first
appearance of disease about tho lungs, there
would be verr few cases of fatal consnmptiou. It
causes the phlegm and matter to raise, without
irritating the longs, and withont producing con
stipation of the bowels. It also gives strength
the system, stops the nights wests, and changes
all the morbid secretions to a healthy (state.

The Census op toe City.—Wo would
take occasion to urge upon the City
Council the desirability of having a cor
rect census of the city taken. Could not
some arrangement be made with Mr.
Hales, the Deputy Marshal, for that pur
pose? As the county census will be taken
by districts, we cannot rely on it for the
desired information. Onr citizens are
anxious that the city .census should
be taken, and -we hope the City - Council
will take the matter under advisement
. Many of onr Juir readers are not
aware that the “favorite”—Mrs. C. A.
Wright, has again established herself in
this city, and is bnsily engaged in fixing
up those beautiful and delicate apparels
so becoming and, at the same time, so
necessary to the ladies’ wardrolie. She is
an expert hand at the Mfllenery business,
and her known ability in the art is a Rare
guaranty that her establishment will at
once become a favorite resort of the
fashionables of the city and county. She
has now on hand a choice selection of
goods—superior in quality aud as reason
able in price—as were ever offered to the
ladies. Her old friends are kindly invit
ed to call at her store, next door to
Brown’s Confectionery, and examine her
stock. She will cut and make dresses
at the shortest notice, in the best man
ner and latest fashion, insuring in every
instance to give entire satisfaction. Or
