Amauocs, August 2, 1870. A meeting of the Democratic and Con servative citizens of Sumter county, was held at the Court House to-day, to send ‘ gates to tho State Convention at At lanta on the 17th instant On motion of CoL 0. J. Malone, Col. W. J. Patteradn was called to ti e chair and on motion of Judge J. A. Analey, Wm. A. Wilson was requested to act as Ja.

We hope onr friends will report all failures. Watkisiklon Tbeat.—This office is under many thanks to Mr. Wiley Cham- Mess for a number of fine watermelons. They were of delicious flavor and highly enjoyable. Do so again, Wiley. ttjr Mr. S. A. Lester who has just re in mod from his Florida plantation in forms ns that the cotton and corn crops of Florida are 1 letter than they have been Srdr A wag thinks it unfortunate for Ni.jM.leon that lie has determined to ad vance in watermelon season, as he may *!ij» npon the Rhine. We are pleased to learn that our energetic Post Master, Mr. Bnrwald, has succeeded in establishing a semi-weekly nuil route from Americas to Lumpkin, vii Preston. The new schedule will go in operation in a few weeks. A New IV.'KR.—The first number of the Cartemville Standard, edited by Wikle k Woods, two thoroughly compe tent and enterprising gentlemen of the fourth estate, is n doomed umoug the number of onr exchanges. The paper is « krgo one and judiciously edited, while it.s typograpliical appearance reflects great credit upon its projectors. B=0- A clerk in this city was waiting on an old lady who was making some purchases, a few days ago, and as weather was very warm he had pulled off his coat to cool and didn't put it on when his enstoraer came in, as she was old and not of the “ upper crust. ” While cool ing off he had dropped his shirt over the back of his pants and forgotten it In taking down goods the lady espied -the order of the yonng man's apparel and said : 44 Yonng man, I think you had bet ter put some weights to your shirt tail if you want to keep it in your pants. ” Wo think the advice pretty good. GnouxDMOLKUJa the Cities.—The Au- gnsta Chronicle and Sentinel learns that it is part of the Radical programme to extend the charter limits of all the cities in Georgia, in order to embrace as voters, all t he vagabond and idle negroes who have congregated about them. Colum bus is familiar with the trick, as it has been tried on her. The Macon Tele graph and Messenger very aptly calls this engineering process groundmoleing. Can it be possible this Radical idea and policy has seized npon onr city offi cialn. We are informed they have sent np an application to extend tho charter limits of Americas, and thus “ground- mole” us, to as to include Ishamville.— We thought our city Government pro fessed to be Democratic, but certainly the above, taken in connection with the action of onr city Fathers, looks a little strange, to say the least. What is. the ob ject of the proposed extension ? Let ns know. We havo received the first nnm- Wr of “ The Press Advocate, ” a new ad vertising medium published for gratuit ous distribution by Wm. W. Daniel A Co., Savannah. It contains a good deal ‘•f useful and interesting matter, besides advertisements. Copies can be obtained l'v addressing the publishers. SkiT We learn that a son of Mr. Isaiath McLendon, of Terrell county was strnck .lead by lightning, on Thursday evening last, the 28th nit, during a severe thun der storm. Tho young man was about ^ Tears of age, and was sitting in house at the time. Although there wore other members of tho family in the honse when the accident occurred, none S&.A Fifteenth Amendment by the name of Peter Black entered the house of Peggy Harris, (a colored woman, Thursday and beat her most unmerciful ly. Fearing that Peggy would take steps to have him punished, and wishing to evAde the law, Peter immediately started ont to hnnt np his right-hand man, the Marshal of the City, to have the matter settled without being arraigned before bis Honor, the Mayor. On finding him, Peter lays his case before the Chief, and pays him jZre dollars and fifty cents to take no action in the matter, and also gave the injured woman a sum of 44 hush ” money. On hearing of the difficulty a policeman was sent to investigate the matter and bring the offending party to jnstioe, but returned—stating that the matter had been amicably settled between the Mar shal and Peter. The above facts can be substantiated by a number of our citizens. McAfee House.—We have traveled a bit in oar time, and have eaten onr quan tum suffleit of the good things prepared to be eaten, but we must say that the pro prietor of the above house at Smithville, s good a table as the dantiest epicure might desire. The rooms ore nice and well attended to, the servants are vigilant and active, the proprietor a perfect gen tleman, the clerk polite and accommoda ting, and visitors have but a few steps to take from the Railroad to reach this mach-to be desired house. Give Mo a call whenever yon pass down that way. t7»Some night hawk who strolls about the streets under the cover of dark ness, prying into affairs that do not concern him, entered our office last Mon day night, and with a lighted candle pro ceeded to examine the files of the com positors where the copy that is set np for the paper is placed. The great desire to find ont the name of a certain corres pondent. prompted this wretch to enter office. Traces of tallow candle can ieen on tho floor where he had vainly searched for the information he so devout ly wished, but which hodid not find. A person who would steal into a man's store house or office, at night, would not hesitate to apply the incendiary's torch to the building, nor cut the throat of a sleeping babe. This night hawk hod better quit prowl ing about these premises at night, or the police might be called upon to take the carcass of some one to Ode Grove Ceme tery some morning. The object of the meeting having been explained, on motion ofO. W. Hancock, a committee of five were appointed by the Choir to nominate four delegates to represent this county in the Convention to be held in Atlanta on the 17th inst— The Chair appointed as that Committee, Messrs. A. A. Adams, Wright Brody, A. J. Williams, F. A. Hill and Dr. 8. B. Hawkins. The Committee having retired a short time, returned and through their Chair man made the following report: That the following named gentlemen be made delegates, to-wit: W. A. Hawkins, Wright Brady, T. D. Speer, T. M. Fnr- low, and that the names of J. A. Cobb and G. R. Harper oar Representatives in the Legislature be added in view of a possi ble vacancy. The report was received and adopted. On motion, the proceedings were re quested to be published in the city papers. On motion the meeting adjourned. Wh. J. PATTERSON’ Ch’m W. A. Wilson, Sect. <te5“*Mr. W. J. Owens announces his return to tho city with a Democratic back bone, sharp razors and the best of bar bers, and therefore invites those who wish to have a good easy shave with a razor that wont scratch and tear the face to call at his shop in the old hotel. We have tried his establishment and know that he will give satisfaction to those who will patronize him. Read advertisement. Meeting of the Sumter County Agri cultural Association. Americcs, Ga., August 2, 1870. The Sumter County Agricultural As sociation, met to-day, Dr. W. W. Bar- low, President, in tho Chair: CoL Willis A. Hawkins was made by unanimous vote a member of this body. The following named gentlemen were appointed delegates to our State Agricul tural Convention to be held in Atlanta the 16th instant: W. W. Barlow, A. A. Adams and Robert J. Hodges. On motion of W. A. Wilson, each dele gate was granted the privilege of appoint ing an alternate in case of his failure to attend. The Association adjourned until its next regular time of meeting, the 1st Tuesday in September. A large attend ance is desired. W. W. BARLOW, President, M. Callaway, Sec’t. During the thunder storm which pissed over this place last Friday after noon, the chimney of the honse of Mr. Peter Dunlavy, in the Northern part of the city was struck by lightning. Mr. D. " ho was in the house at the time and setting near the fire-place was severely gunned and had a portion ol his cloth ing set on fire This was truly a narrow escape. Never sit near a window nor be- f-uv a fire-place daring a thunder storm. ftaJT We learn that a great deal of ex citement was occasioned amongst some of the colored people, living near the Railroad, on Sunday afternoon lost, by a strange negro woman walking np the Railroad with a white child. She told them that the child and herself were both nearly starved, but she would neither stop nor enter a honse for anything, but hurried onward as if anxious to get out of sight. She said sho lived a very long way from here, and appeared to be abon half crazy. Some white women who saw them said the child looked to be about eighteen months or two years old, and was rather delicate and pnny. The ne gro woman was very black and tried to avoid all conversation, and would tell no one her destination. This is something that should receive the attention of the proper officers of the law along the Rail road, she can be arrested somewhere, and, if the child is stolen, be made to tell who are its parents, and for what purpose it was taken. Stamp Youb Recehts.—The clause of the New tax bill abolishing the taxon receipts, does not go into effect for some months yet The clause in question pro vides that “on and after October next, the stamp tax imposed in schedule B on promissory notes for a less sum than 8100, and on receipts for any sum of money, or for payment of any debt, and the stamp tax imposed in schedule C on canned and preserved fish, be and the same is hereby repealed. And no stamp shall be required upon the transfer of assignment of a mortgage, where it or tho instrument it secures has been duly stamped.” Lkr Ahead.—Mr. Thomas M. Cam eron, of Lee county, left at this office, on Thursday last, a stalk of cotton, between three and four feet high, literally filled with fruit, and quite a number of the bolls open ready for picking. The spec imen of cotton is very good. Mr. C., says the cotton on his place is opening very rapidly, and in the course of ten days he will commence picking. Cotton Crop of1870-TX—A Cor respondent of the United States Econo mist, writing from Memphis, Tennessee, states that while the most liberal esti mates of dealers in that quarter had not until recently put the cotton crop now being exported to more than 2,750,000 bales, it is now generally conceded that the production of the past year was 3,260,000 bales. The Economist esti mates the crop for the present at 4,800,- 000 boles, which is considerably above the maximum crop before the war. In 1856, for instance, onr crop is set down at 3,880,580 bales, which is about the stand ard. A terrific hail storm occurred ten miles west of this city, on the afternoon <»f Thursday last Rev. J. W. Jordan nought into oar office two stalks of oofc- b»a, which came from the plantation of -Mr. Alfred Harvey, and which was com pletely stripped of leaves and fruit and l-roken and braised by tho violence of the storm. He thinks the greater part of one hundred acres of cotton, wbifii flat- t• re«l the owner with a fair yield on Thnra- 'V morning, presents nothing now but broken, battered and bore stalks. He <li<l not learn the extent of damage done by the storm. Death of William Ross.—The sad in telligence of the death of this highly re spectable citizen reached our city Friday morning. He died at his residence near Friendship, Thursday night, the 27th instant of bilious fever. He was exten sively known in this county for his many good qualities. He had many friends who will hear of his death with sadn< and regret. For many years he was an Elder of the Baptist denomination. His remains were followed to the grave by a large con course of jorrowing friends and relatives Friday afternoon, and was buried by tho Order of Good Templars of which society he was an honorable member. He had passed his three score years, and in now gathered to his fathers. “ The Phrenological Journal and Packard's Monthly, ” for August comes t0 baud somewhat later than usual, but ito contents are as interesting and as val uable os ever.

Mr. Editor : In your issue of the 29th nit., “One of the Sold” calls for planation about the big dinner at the great “Union Singing" at Pleasant Grove. If one can speak for all, I say we had dinner for all, and liko the we lu&d twelve months ago, when the people asked the teacher (not the Mode rator bid the people bring out their meat and bread, etc.,) to have a general sing ing festival all day amonsgt the neighbors of Pleasant Grove, (not to meet the at Americas with their carriages, buggys and wagons, f o cany out people from all parts of the globe to be fed and hauled to and from the singing because the great Moderator, Fed West, said so,) and that they the people, not the great Moderator, would bring out their baskets with a lunch, which they did, and after the mul titude had all eaten to their fill there was raked up of the fragments forty baskets foil But this was the people’s singing honor of their teacher, not as it was year, an insult and imposition npon the people by the great Moderator. I would like to know, Mr. Editor, if F. West is the first Moderator ever heard of, and if he is the only one on earth? I guess so. He will ride ten or twelve miles a church anytime to preach to one man and a woman, and occasionally two women and a little boy. Crowded houses that! He has nearly broken onr people from going to church, and thinka he is doing the Lord’s bidding. He is about as much fitted for preaching aa a donkey for TTtraciw teaching. Now if the people had asked Brother West, excuse me, the Moderator, to hold Union Singing, and told him to invite every person in the county to it, we would have fed them, for we have plenty of meat and bread and good things, and onr people cannot be beat when it comes to fixing np basket dinners. But we claim to be free and don't like to be ordered by the Moderator. We have the ways and the means and our ladies are industrious and don’t mind trouble and expense such matters. Yet they wont allow the Moderator to order them. God bless them ! Our wives arc tho smartest in the State. Onr daughters the prettiest in the world. (Don’t want to marry, either). Our children don’t respect orders with out they come from a respectable source, and their parents are the someway. So that is the reason there was no dinner. The Moderator gave the order but we don’t acknowledge him as tho ordering man yet, and never wilL A Citizen, ,f in your issue of the 22d alt, calls attention to the piece on page 62, Sacred Harp, a good old tune that all the little nigs and children in the laud ;. Well, now, “Citizen” and eratorare, in my opinion, the self-same person that answers to the name of F. West. The singing of that >od old tune and the actions of the Joderotor recalled 30 years ago, when we were little. Then the little nigs and white children all ran together, and when we would And one of old Dominecker’s little biddies dead, yes dead, we would all sing that good tone, and one of the little nigs, or some of as would bo Moderator.

Mk Editor: The numerous friends of the Republican are gratified at it's high moral tone during the past few months, and especially at the faithful and untiring efforts you hsve made and are malting to *tay tho overwhelming tide of Intemper ance that threatens to deluge the land. The fearful evils that follow in the wake ofLiqnor—debt, loss of credit, broken constitutions, desolate homes, heart-brok en wives, suffering children, crime, mise ry and ruin—nre seen of alL The ghast ly visions of lost opportunities, alienated friends, misspent time, wasted money, of poverty and wretchedness—is forever flit ting across the remorseful mind of the helpless, hopeless drunkard.

He “who came to seek and to save that which was lost, ’* who not to call the righteous but sin ners to repentance, ’’ who has promised that He 44 will in no wise cast out those who come to Him, ” who 44 is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all we ask or think, ” who struck with overpowering conviction the persecuting Saul, revolu tionizing in a moment all his deep-rooted prejudices and converting the unrelent ing persecutor into the faithfnl noble Apostle of the creed of love, who in every age has Illustrated the oompletem His atonement and the power of His sal vation—is still ever ready to deliver and ive. “ His grace is sufficient for you. ” Strengthened by His spirit with might i the inner man, ” you can successfully resist the wiles of the Adversary. Trust Him, in His gracious promises, in His infinite love, in His Almighty power.— When disordered nerves, the unnatural thirst for stimulants, disappointment, and perplexity assail you, “ watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. ” Here is the true hope of the drunkard.— There is a power that can change the heart —that can “ create within ns dean hearts and renew within ns right spirits." This precious truth is exemplified in the histo ry of many of the noblest and best men who have adorned society—men who have been snatched as brands from the burn ing and made to honor God and bless the world.

Mr. Editor : In your paper of the 28th nit., I noticed a communication from H. D. Randall, the Clerk and Treasurer of the City Council, purporting I pre sume, to be an answer to the enquiry made by your correspondent in reference to the issuing of tho new City Change Bills. The communication of the Clerk and Treasurer throws no light whatever on the subject I am as ignorant now as to the reason for the issuing of these bills as I was before the appearance of his communication. Your correspondent did not desire to examine the records of the Clerk and Treasurer to see whether that officer kept correct books, neither did ho desire in formation about City affairs, but what he is desirous of knowing, and what the tax payers of the City have a right to de mand is, by whose authority was the thir ty-fire hundred and fifty dollar* of Change Bills issued? and what necessity was there for these bills, if there is hands of the Treasurer, a sufficiency of Greenbacks to redeem them ? Why not give the Greenbacks at onco ? The Clerk and Treasurer says that not one dollar of new Currency has been issued in excess of old and retired, and which was issued under former adminis trations." If this is the case, where are the thirty-five hundred dollars of old Cnrrenoy (for that is tho amonnt of the new) issued by “former administrations"? Are they destroyed, in the Bank, or usedhj certain parties for speculating purposes ? Now, Mr. Editor, I contend that the Council liss no right to issue change bills, whenever they feel disposed to do so. The City taxes ore paid in Greenbacks, and the same cnrrenoy should be used in paying the expenses of the city govern ment Now, Mr. Editor, I stated in my first communication that these change bills were issued without consent of a major ity of tho Board of Council. I am ready to make good my statement A Citizen. I tliiuk it ncccssar; to state, before asking your perusal or the following affidavit, that on tho 22d of this affiant was arrested and brought before Judge dark, charged with burn ing the gin houso of Mr. Tom Bryau, of Lee county, and I am reliably informed, that while under arrest, he made a statement admitting that he burnt tho gin liouao. but that I hired him to do eo.

Sheriff Bay arrested him, near Snhth rills, Lee Co., Ga., said Bay gave hun whisky to drink, about the quantity of a large bar-room glass, my, a half-pint; that said whisky, in ad dition to other whisky ha drank, flew into his head and so affected him Jthat he never got to his right mind until Sunday, the 21th of July, 1870. That said Bay arrested him for burning Bryant's gin house; that ho has no reoolketkm of telling any one that he burned Bryant's gin house; that he has no recollection of telling any that Mr. Mims hired him to burn said gin house; that if he made either of the last state ments, they were not true, but, made under the influence and effects of the whisky, fore set forth; that he has no recollection of any lawyers coming to ses him while in prison at 8mithTille and proposing to defend him, or that ho refused to allow them to defend him ; that ho lias no recollection of telling Judge dark, the trial, that ho burned Bryant’s gin house,that if he did, it wm not true, and made under the ef fete of whisky, as aforesaid; that be did burn the gin house; that he was at home when the gin house was burned; that Mr. Mims nev er offered him anything or said anything ponent about burning Bryant’s house. Deponent further swears, that on the day ho was arrested by said Bay. Mr. Mose Bryant, while said Bay was taking him to his house, said twat he wanted to talk fc deponent, and depo nent told him very well, he would hear it. Said Bryant told him to go on, that he would be where he was going and get him after awhile; said Bryant came over to Bay’s in about an half hour after deponent got thcro and took deponent ont and aaked him what was the matter he had not been over to see him (Bryant). Deponent said he had to work hard and worried, and had not walked about anywhero much; that he had been laying off to go over there. Bryant said ho had been a mighty good friend to my people and likewise to me; that my mother and step father lived near him, and that they never got into any scrapo or difficulty but what they came to him (Bryant) to get them out. That he (Bry- aut) came along by deponent the evening be fore the gin house was burned down at night, and that it looked like deponent could hardly speak to him; that he (Bryant) went on, and said himself that there must be something the matter with Emanuel, for what made him so “loth" in speaking to him ; (that although Bry ant eo stated, this deponent did speak to h : m on tho evening aforesaid) after the above conver. nation deponent said, “ Is that the reason you think I burned down the gin house, because you [Bryant]say I was slow in speaking to him? Bryant said, no; I do not so yon burned it down from not spooking to me. Bryant then insinu ated that I, deponent, either stack the torch tc tho gin house, or knew who did do it. I told him I did not do it aither. Bryant then said he wanted to get at the root of it. I told Bryant from first to last, so far as I am concerned that I knew nothing about it. Deponent farther swears, that Mr. Bay told him, that he (Bay) did not sa> that deponent horned down the Gin House, but that ir depo nent kaew anyone that had any hand into it, that he Bay (u witness would tell it] would get Lawyer ana go before the Judge Mid clear m for a bale of cotton.
