Friday Morning. July 14.1871.
Geo. H. Haucook of Macon,
General Agent, and traveling Correspon
dent for the Sumter Republican. We
commend him to oar friends everywhere.
The Security—Loan and Savings
Association.—The stock of this compa
ny is being rapidly taken op and ere long
the whole amount will be taken. The
l*ople see it is jnst the thing wanted
and they are satisfied it will pay better
than any other investment; besides, it is
the laying away of a small amount every
week, which, if kept, would, probably
be foolishly spent. It is a well known
fuel that Savings Association have given
more young men a start in the world than
any other institutions, because, by lay
ing aside a small portion of their salary
every week, a largo amonnt wi
have accumulated. It is much better
than making weekly deposits in other
institutions, because each deposit i
Savings Bank, begins to draw interest
immediately, and is so often compound
ed that it swell rapidly, the stockholders
get the benefit of this. The Savings
Bank, of Atlanta, yet in its infancy, has,
recently, declared a dividend of ten per
cent, to its stockholders, on the past six
months work. And as to the liabilitiy
of stockholders, they aie only liable to
the extent of their stock—the same lia
bility in any other partnership business.
We are glad to see the Security ad
vancing and hope it will soon be open
for business. Let planters take stock
for the benefit of their children. It is
equal, and preferred by many, to Life
Insurance, because the stock increases
in value every week. Parties wishing to
subscribe can call on any of the corpora
tors. Read the charter in another col-
nm, carefully, and yon will then sub
scribe.
Premiums for Cotton.—The commit
tee having in charge the preparation of
the list of premiums for cotton, to be
given by the people of St Louis at the
St. Louis Fair, next October, have com
pleted the arrangements and determined
upon the following scale of prizes: For
the best bale of long or short staple
grown in Tennessee, $500 ; second best
bale, $250 ; third best, $100. The same
premiums will be awarded to cotton
grown in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, South Car
olina, North Carolina and Missouri ; al
so, $500 for the best bale from Peler or
other improved seed, and a thousand
dollars for the best bale grown in any
State, making the aggregate $10,000 pre
mium, the largest amount ever given for
cotton in this country.
Horace Greely has been accused of
having spoken eulogistically of General
Lee during his late Southern tour. At
public meeting in New York, Henry
Ward Beecher lauded the personal char
acter of Lee in very high terms. Mrs.
Kcckly, the colored servant of President
Lincoln’s family, who wrote a book about
her lifo at the White House, says in this
book that on the very morning of the as-
s issin.ition Mr. Lincoln took np a por
trait of General Lee, scanned the face
thoughtfully, and remarked : “ It is a
good l ace; it is the face of a noble, brave
man ; I am glad the war is over at last. ”
TnE Bigamist a Murderer.—Uuder
the above caption the New York Sun of
Tuesday has the following :
Concerning the bigamist Congressman
Bowen some further facts have been at
tained from a high Federal official. An
indictment exists against Bowen in Geor
gia for killing a man daring the rebellion,
in which he served as a Confederate offi-
At the trial of Bowen on the charge of
bigamy eleven jurors stood for conviction
and one for acquittal. The latter, a col
ored man, went into the jury room with
his pockets filled with provision, saying
that he would stay a week rather than
agree with the other jurors. It
pec ted at the time that be hod been
After Bowen's recent conviction, he
admitted to District Attorney Fisher of
Washington, it is said, that $2,500 was
paid for the spurious decreo of divorce
which had been used iu his case. He re
fined to tell from whom it was obtained.
County Clerk Lowe is endeavoring to
find out the guilty man who furnished
the spurious document for his office, and
it was for the purpose of facilitating the
investigation that Grant was requested by
the Mayor not to pardon Bowen rntil he
had revealed the name of the man whom
lie bribed. Nevertheless Grant lias par
doned the bigamist.
The Grand Orient of France, the su
preme authority of Freemasons of the
French rite, has disclaimed all responsi
bility for the demonstration in behalf of
the Commune made by certain Freema
sons in Paris. The Grand Orient asserts
that the placing of Masonic banners up-
« n tbe walls was the act of individual
masons, and was strenuously opposed by
the masonic authorities, os an act wholly
at variance with the principles of the fra
ternity.

Collier of Madison, Ga., asks, through
At** Ifaliun A 1 /a. :..r . ■
the Madison Appeal, for information
concerning the whereabouts of A. J.

Editors Republican I am a native
of Georgia, spent the first twelve yeais
of my life near Monticello, iu Jasper
county; the next ten year* among the
hills and monntain gorges of Eastern Ala
bama, and the last twenty-six years
Texas. I have traveled over all the
Southern States, except Florida ; have
had opportunity to inform myself about
all them. Before the annexation of T<
as I settled in Rusk county, after having
traveled the State from East to West,
from North to South, then a wilderness
affording a pasturage only for the deer
and buffalo, and the hun ting ground of
the s vage. I shall soon be a half a cen
tury old, with the memories of a busy
and eventful life. I have long since set
tled here in Rusk county, Texas, to slay.
until my spirit goes to the land of leal,
and my body to tho spot “where the
rnde forefathers of the hamlet sleep.”
I hare no land to sell at present prices.
You will see by reference to tbe map
tbe exact locality of Texas. The 82* of
North Latitude passes through the heart
of it, and within one mile of my Way Side
Home. It is over seven hundred miles
from East to West, and about five from
North to Sonth. It consequently em
braces many varieties of soil and climate,
very poor, and very rich. Snow-clad
hills eternally, and sunny skies, and per
fumed breezes, where the tall magnolia
blows, and the orange blooms in perpetu
al Spring. Persons who suffer from the
cold of Northern climates will find North
East Texas a paradise below. Every
thing grown in other Southern States
colder countries flourishes in Texas.
There is every variety of pears and ap
ples, and the finest peaches, apricots,
plums, Ac. Corn, wheat, rye, oats,barley,
8orghnm, peas,potatoes, melons, turnips,
cabbage Ac., in great abandonee, one
beet exhibited at our late State fair would
have fed the corps of Editors, publishers,
pressman and the devil thrown in of the
Republican office.
Cherries ripen in May ; apples from
June to October. Rusk, Nacogdoches,
Cherokee and Smith counties are well
watered and timbered, The land is red,
mulatto, and gray ; is now worth from
$1 00 to $20 per acre, according to im
provements location, Ac., will produce
from 15 to 50 bushels of corn per acre,
and from 1000 to 4000 pounds seed cot
ton with two to three workings. Hav
ing recently rode on horseback over 100
miles in Texas, I can say of a truth that
ill be ho abundant next fall, that
thousands of bushels will not be gathered
unless immigrants come to do it-
bought at from 10 to 26 cents per bushel,
and pork from 3 to 8 cents per ponnd,
the mast promises to be most abundant,
and the peenn. crop uncqualed. Many
products ure high because our people are
too shiftless to produce and gather them.
The Central Kail Road from Houston
North to meet the St. Louis and Kansas

Southern Pacific and tho International,
the line of the 32 w having received
liberul Congressional aid, and immense
subsidies from Texas, will be flushed in
1884 to Elposo, on the Rio Grande.
The great Northern from Galveston to
Tyler, and E. S. from Sabine Bay to
Henderson, are being rapidly built, so
you see we shall soon have ample Rail
Road facilities for carrying our surplus
crops to market.
Good architects and mechanics are
scarce, and wages high. There are may

with a most magnificient endowment.
The common school system, free to ell
four months iu the year, is jnst inaugura
ted, with a school fund of twelve millions
of money, and ten millions of
school lands to begin with. Now to oar
wants, first : We want honest
lice, and we want preachers of Christ who
will give us the blow as well as the blnn-
derbus; who are up with the times
progress and science, who will be o
tent with homely fare and a '‘rough
road.’* We want a few good physicians
who will charge leas, physic less, and
read more. Bat, Sirs, our great want

The War is Raging—Gen- Greene
Commanding.
Messrs. Editors : Daring the seven
teen showery days the enemy held the
ground, but the weather haviug become
fairer, hostilities have eet in iu good
earnest and the “ colored troops are fight
ing so nobly ” that Gen. Greene is com
pelled to surrender his hold inch by inch.
Should the weather remain propitious a
few days longer we expect to drive him
entirely from onr land, or at least curtail
his force so much that he will not be dan
gerous. His dead and wounded are in
numerable. The ground is strown wilh
them, aud we fear that the stench arising
from wiil create sickness. Such a
stubborn fight, perhaps, has never be
fore been witnessed. Onr loss is also
heavy. Our ranks have also been thin
ned almost beyond conception, and what
have left presents a sickly appear
ance, though having properly, (in the
language of the physician) “ diagnosed ”
the case, wo feel that by proper manage
ment we will be able to restore it to its
wonted vigor.

To the Alumni of the University of Ga--:
Gentlemen—I beg to call your atten
tion to the importance of form ng local
clubs of the Alumni of this University.
The moin object of this organization
is to unite onr Alumni as co-workers in
behalf of the interests of the University.
Wherever a few of the Alumui, residents
of the Fame city or neighborhood, can
combine in the formation of aClnb, it is
earnestly desired that they fruteruize in
an organic shape, holding meetiugs at
stated seasons, interchanging views os to
the best method of promoting the wel
fart of the University, acd affording the
most effective measures to create, sustain
and embody an earnest pnblic sentiment
in snpjiort of the University.
Such an organization l>ns a genuine
feeliug for its basis. It Inis a sphere to
fill and a work to do : for onr Alumni
owe it to themselves to cling together,
and they owo it to the University to cling
io her. Educated men lose many of the
benefits of early culture by neglecting
just such fellowship of intellect and heurt
as these clubs will snpply. What is
equally unfortunate, their persoual at
tachment to Alma Mater looses much of
its intensity, and most of its utility,
simply for the reason that it has np
means of organic action. If, then, these
local clubs can l>e centres of association
aud sympathy, l*otl» as it respects the
relations of individual numbers and a
common relation to tlio University, they
should certaiuly commend themselves to
thoughtful regard,
is believed, moreover, that these lo
cal clubs can be brought into an auxiliary
relation to the Alumni Association of the
University, and thereby prove an efficient
agency in carrying out its prospective
plans. If the Alumni Association ex
pand in the direction contemplated at its
last session, Angust 1, 1870, it will find
these clubs most serviceable adjuncts to
ita power. It can accomplish through
them what it caanot accomplish without
them. Not only will it have an organi
zation by means of .\hich it can operate,
but the University itself will have at
every leading point i'i tbe Stale a chan
nel through which i: can reach the public
mind. What your Alma Mater must
needs, is to perpetuate a vital conecxion
with her sons, so that she can call them
at any critical period to her side, and
lean upon them for generous sympathy
and manly support. The hour of gradu
ation has too often lieen the hoar of
separation, of practical alienation, and of
forgotten obligations. If the protest of
her wounded heart can reach you, this
shall be her misfortune and her soirow
no longer. Nor is this all. What yon
most need as cultivated men, is to per
petuate your connexion with yonr Alma
Mater.
The best aud safest proof that a
can give of hid education is the activ
terest he takes iu the well-beiug of the
University that inspired him xvith high
aims, protected him uguiu-t evil by her
vigilant power, and held him closely to
her heart during the years when she
worked for him, but when he conld not
work for her. Ou each sale, then, great
benefits will accrue from tbe organization
proposed. The return of your hearts to
the sanctity of a neglected duty will
spire yon with Ihe fervor of a deeper life,
and renew the youth of the affections
which too frcqnently grows prematurely
old just because the obligations and as
sociations of our earlier days are allowed
to lapso into an unnatnral oblivion,
tho other hand, your Alma Mater will
enhance her owu sense of responsibility
and do a far broader work for Georgia,
if she will follow you as she ought to fol
low yon to the homes you build, to the
private aud public spheres yon fill, and
to the solemn relationships which grow
upon yon with yonr growiog years.
The approaching session of the Alum-
ni Association, July 31st, will be
casion of ranch interest If you cannot
all attend, see io it that your local club
is repre? ented in the deliberations of the
Associations.
I beg to remain,
Very respectfully yours.

Wiiat is a Democrat ?—This question
was addressed to a Democrat in a politi
cal conversation a few days sinoe by a
“Red hot” Republican. “I would like
very much to be what you call a good
honest Democrat. Be kind enough to
tell me what change I will have to under
go to become such, and how I will know
that I am changed. ” “Well,” replied the
Democrat, “go to some chicken-roost,
and if you can pass it by without feeling
any inclination to ‘confiscate,’yon are at
honest Democrat, but if you cannot re
sist the temptation to bag the fowls, you
are a Radical still, and have not ex peri
enoed a change.” The anxious inquirer
had no more questions to propouud.—

New York, July 12.—Gov. Hoffman
lias issued a proclamation declaring that
the Orangemen most be protected. Up-
tbe receipt of this document, Super
intendent Kelso, of the Metropolitan po
lice, withdrew his order forbiding tlie
procession. Up to midnight last night
there had not been a single fight in
New York. The Orangemen appeal to
tbe old Know Nothings to reorganize.
It is understood that Gen. McDowell,
of the U. S. Armv, will co-operate with
the Slate authorities for the preservation
of order.
Circulars bavo lieen issued for the for
mation of a Protestant League of Amer
ica, wherein it is asserted that the claims
of Roman Catholiccism ure incompatible
with civil and religious liberty. It
understood six thousand men enrolled
for this organization yesterday.
Batteries have been placed at several
points where the attack on the procession
is apprehended.
Superintendent Kelso £s more hopeful
this morning of a peaceful issue. The
police aud military arrangements are
complete. The streets in the op-town
districts have the appearance of a holiday
Groups of loungers are to be seen on
nearly every corner. Gangs of men,
five and six in number, may bo noticed
going in tho direction of the western
part of tbe city. Altogether atiairs look
very threatening. Tho men in the mar-
d stone yards along East River
have left work, it is supposed for the
purpose of opposing the Orange pro
cession.
Later —Hunters are rife that rioting
is now going on in tho upper part of
Ninth avenue.
New York, July, 12, noon.—The much
talked of tho long looked for riot has
ecmmenced. About fifteen nruutes be

and Third avenne, and were driving the
people from the streets. Two hundred
policemen were immediately picked out
and uuder command of Capt. Hetldeu of
the Fifteenth Precinct, ordered to the
H>ve point to disperse the mob.
The second dispatch was from the 32d
precinct, and stated that tho rioters were
marching through the Boulevard, and
bad attacked the Italian and Swiss labor
ers in the vicinity of 1431 street and 9ili
reported. Over 150 of the mob ore be
lieved to be killed and wonnded. Among
the troops known to be killed, besides
those already reported aio a Captain of
the 84th, and two privates and a sergeant
of the 9th. Five regiments are resting
on their arms near the Cooper Institute.
10 i>. m.—About 40 persons were killed
daring tbe riot to day. The total num
ber of wounded is nuknown, but 15
known to be mortally hurt.
At the sixteenth precinct there ’

Negro Ku-klux in North Caroli-
Wilmixoton, July 11.—A fearful butch
ery w«s perpetrated in Robeson county
yesterday afternoon, By Henry Berry
Dowry ami B.-ird—negro outlaws. A
sheriff’s posse having in charge Lowry’s
wife aud several o hers who had been aid-
ins: and abetting t tie outlaws, were am-
Invaded near Buis’ store, on the Wil
uiingtqu, Charlotte aud Rutherford Rail
road. The following of tho sheriff's
posse were killed and wounded: Killed.
Hector McMill-n, Archibald Brown and
Hector McNeill. Wonnded : D. McCor
mick, Berry Barnes, uud James Lowry—
the latter a colored man and cousin of
the outlaw Lowry, but co-operating with
the sheriff s posse. The fight resolved
itself into a regular buttle, which lasted
sometime. The sheriff’s posse fouglri
well, oven following the outlaws into tit.*
recesses of u swamp, but it is not certainly
known that any of the outlaws were killed.
Lowry, the leader of the outlaws, and
Captain F. M. Wishart, had a regular
duel on tLo railroad tiaek, each loading
and tiring deliberately five or six times,
but neither was wounded. The whole
nty of Robeson is at last fully aroused,
aud it is believed a company is now be
ing inaugurated that will result iu the ex
termination of the outlaws. A committee
of citizens of Robeson county came to this
city to-day to secure arras and ammuni
tion. Every member of the Lowry baud
a negro.

New YoitK^July 12.—The line of the
Orange prooession was guarded by a part
of the 9tli and a detachment of the 6th
regiments. Shortly after the procession
started hootiug* were heard from the
side of the streets. The excitement in
creased and missies were thrown from
some windows into the prooession. The
Officers of the National Guard ordered
the men to fire. This they did and
about fifteen persons were killed and
twenty wounded. This occurred in the
8th avenne. Tho utmost oxcitement
over the affair still prevails. Lieut Page
of the 9th (Fisk’s regimen!) is reported
mortally wounded. Capt. Spencer, of
tlie 9th regiment, was killed by his own
men in twenty-sixth street, between sev
enth aud eighth avenne. He had given
orders to fall back and become mixed in
the crowd aud was killed by a volley fired
into tho rioters. Several officers of the
