Homestead Act.—By a special telegram to the Savannah Astra, of April 3d, it will be seen that the Su preme Court of the United States, in the case of Gunn vs. Barry, from Georgia, N held that an Act of the Leg islature of Georgia of 1868, increasing the amount of homestead exemption, was not applicable to pre-existing debts and judgments. It will thus lie seen that the Homestead Exemption Aet van be legally cuforced only upon • luims necuring after its passage. WRECK OF THE ATLANTIC. Wc make r. few extracts from the pn|>crs respecting this awful calamity New York, April 5.—Among the passengers saved from the Atlantic are W. Vick, of North Carolina, and a Frenchman named Simon Camacho. « ohadhislcjahudyfr >ztn. Tiieywe;c in the rigging eight houisr Passengers report tl*t from three to five hundred jiassengers on the Atlantic must have (prished within ten minutes after the boat struck the second time. “I suppose it is not necessary,” said <oue of the crew, “to give you the min ote particulars of how each life was lost. Every succeeding minute recur ring waves washed ofl one, two or three, some times six. Then a dozen were 6wept away and went ont side by side into the Valley of Death. There is no language that can describe the feelings a£ a man holding on for dear life to bit of rigging and watching bis friends and companions struggling, clutching, sinking, dying. The weakest, of course, went first One poor fellow had managed to get himself in a position where he was penned in by pieces of timber which could not very well be fleeted by the action of the waves. “SHADING OFF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.” “His body was nearly entirely pro tected. From my position in the rig ging I could see the expression of his countenance as from time to time lie took his hands from his face, gazed about as if not daring to lift his head mid then again hid his sight In an unlucky moment during a lull he lifted up a portion of his body to make him self more comfortable, when the hi gest wave I had yet seen caught and swept him in a moment out of sight.” One man had just secured a flour barrel on deck when he was washed overboard, hut not before he had obtain ed a hold, grasping cither end, the bottom being out. The barrel, from its build, would he precipated by the sea some distance aliove the waves, and then fnll back. One more than usnal- Jy heavy sen sent the barrel and man Jjf least six feet high. He had lost hi 8 hold before he came down, falling in the trough of the sea ; hut though on top ot a wave, which rose a little fur- tlier on, the barrel rode buoyantly, the man did not conic to light. We saw very little of the women aud children,” says another informant; “everything happened so quick that before even tliosc who were strongest liad got out of the choked passageway the females were eitlicr so bewildered or the water had so impeded their progress that very few came on deck. Those that did were swept away be fore they could fasten themselves or lie secured by others.” “ I saw one woman,” said he, •• in tlie water with threo children just ns they were washed overboard—two in her arms (one infant) ami the other two with its arms aliout her nock. They went down almost instantly.” April 7.—Divers are at work on the wreck. ' Tlio vessel is most awkward ly placed. Two of tliern went into number four hatch, but found no light on tlio upper deck. The passengers and cargo are so mixed that bodies cannot he got at. Two girls were found lying in their beds in the lower after steerage. Holes will be blown in the ship to facilitate the recovery ofthc bodies and cargo. Eleven bodies were got, of which five were grappled up. Two hundred and twenty-six have been recovered—none of those found recently were cabin passengers. The number of murders, robberies, and defalcations in this country each week it far greater than the number of conversions to religion. What are tho preachers doing ?

Two houses belonging to Mrs. Watt and Mr. Wright were burned in Co umbus last Saturday, loss $4,00. B. A. Wise, the great crockery nian of Macon, is dead. He is spoken of as a good man and n worthy citizen. A beautiful bird called the Stormy Petrol, was caught in Morgan county not long since. Its home is in the sea. Mr. S. T. Hearing, of Augusta, died on Friday afternoon. He was connected for several years with the Southern Express Company. An accident on the branch road up Cumberland mountain, bv which a train was thrown from the track, culminated n the death of the engineer. A negro named Logan Ellison at tempted to commit a rape on the per son of Mrs. Hunter, of Gordon coun ty, and is now in jail at Calhoun. Basil A. Wise, of Macon, died on the 5th at 8 o’clock a. m.

On Saturday there was a meeting at Sand Town, in Meriwether county, to discuss the feasibility of building a narrow gauge railroad from Sand Town to Griffin. The Rev. Dr. Lovick Pierce preach ed his eighty-ninth anniversary sermon in Macon on Sunday week, and on Monday, received a well filled purse as a birth day present. The Waynsboro Expositor will here after be conducted by Messrs. J. E Frost, S. A. Gray, E. F. Lawson and S. A. Corker, the last three named gentlemen having bought an interest from Mr. Frost. A prominent Atlanta baker reports money never tighter than now, as the demand for it in this and adjoining States is without precedent This is owing to the losses in cotton futures The South, it is reported, lias lost eleven millions in a few weeks. The Dental Convention adjourned Friday, 4th, to meet on the second Wednesday in May, next year. The Coronation -determined to hold their future annual session in Atlanta. They can secure a larger attendance there than any other point in Georgia. “Cliipley” is the name of a new town on the North and South Railroad, in Harris county, and is thirty-on miles from Columbus, and has an ele vation above that city of seven hun dred feet. It is only four miles from the White Sulphur Springs, and ten from the Worm. A big smash up on the Macon and Western Road on the 4th. Seven freight cars were smashed up and sev eral oftlie hands injured ; loss about two thousand five hundred dollars. The cab on the up train became de tached, and going hack for it, another freight train, coming in with the cab in front, met in a curve, hence tlie damage. The Madison Howe Journal sums it up as follows: “Wc speak deliber ately when wc declare that there never was a fairer prospect for short rations for man and beast in Middle Georgia than now. The area sown in wheat and oats small, crops backward and unpromising, stock poor and unfed, and the people crazy on the subject of cotton.” About tlie last of January a lady nafficd Mrs. Mary Scott, accompanied by two children, a hoy about three years old, and a baby aged about one month, went to Savannah from Har- dceville, S. C. She was in very had health at the time, and it is supposed she was taken sick and died there. Mrs. Sarah Lively states, in an advert- isment in the Newt, that any informa tion concerning this lady, will he thank fully received. This from the Alliany News: Wc arc informed by a physician who bos a large practice that he has attended seven abortion cases within the last month—all negroes, and all at about tlie same period of gestation. He further informed us that he lias fre quent applications from colored women to produce abortions. These facts in dicate a fearful purpose among the negroes to cheek the increase of their race in this country. Bill Arp has written to Ben Butler to send him, forthwith, his three cents, as Ben say^thc salary steal costs each tax-payer of the country that much, and proposes to refund all grumblers their proportion. Bill says that a man who steals thousand dollars is not near so con temptible as the thief who steals the pittiful sum of three cents. Benjamin put that silver cup in his sack and got away from New Orleans with it. If he expects to sneak off with those nickles in the same style he’ll find out the difference. Bill will follow him down into Egypt—and further.—Rome Commercial. REPLY TO GEORGIA. Editors Northeast Georgian: The argument between “Georgia” and myself has been extended to such a length that he does not seem to be aware of the main point that brought about the controversy. The result however, is as I expected, aud an in telligent public will not fail to note the fact that “Georgia”, does not even know the principles necessary to unite all sections of the world in the grand cause of Temperance. For his benefit, I will review tlie causes which brought out the several articles. First, then, he, or the advocates of the. new movement, charged that the “ Good Templars ” Order was a negro organization, a “ Yankee concern,” and having failed to destroy our organiza tion in the State, by the circulation of hand-bills, circulars and letters among the different Lodges, endeavored to ex cite public opinion against us by the publication of these charges in the newspapers appealing to the prejudices of the people, and I thought it my duty Representative to the Grand Lodge to answer these charges so far as the State is concerned, and to show how silly tho argument is when it is used to hold us responsible for the ac tion of England, Ireland, Scotland, Massachusetts or any other Grand Lodge jurisdiction in the world. In my first article I said that our State was supreme within her own jurisdic tion—that she bad tho sole right to grant, suspend or revoke charters, and therefore she was in no danger of social equality with the negro, and she did not wish to be sectional by even desir ing to control other sections * iu this matter—as it was the same mean, New England, Yankee spirit that forced a desolating political war upon us in de fence of our own property, therefore we did not wish to control any section but our owu upon this question. The two Georgia’s” who have been writin have never proved that even an attempt has been made on our State by any other section, or any other power, to control her on this issue. When ever they do attempt to control us, will volunteer my services to the State of Georgia, but until they do, I will follow the illustrious example of Gen eral Lee, by remaining at my post. But we are in uo danger whatever. I give the leaders of our Order credit for some good common sense. They are aware, (aud nearly all our school boys are aware of the same fact) that tetnperancc is a questioir upon which the world may be united; but they are equally aware that to unite the world it will not do to abride the civil or re ligious liberty of any section or country.

This is the platform aTflte Good Templars organization. To force your own views on other sections is to be sectional, and to say you shall recognize our sectional platform, or you shall not be united with us on temperance, is, to say the very least of it, a desire to ahriac the civil liberty of some sections. This is the doctrine that Jefferson did not teach, hut it is the doctrine that rendered Yaukeedom odious to the people of die South. This is the plat form upon which the world cannot be uuited, and this is my sole reason for not believing in the success of the United Friends of Temperafce. You cannot say to the world this man or that man shall not become a mem ber of your Order in England or Mas sachusetts because you, in Georgia, say he shall not without abridging his civil liberty. Your United Friends had better go hack and start out on the truly Republican principle, allowing each section to take care of its own af fairs. The want of this principle is more apt to create dissention than its rescnce. It is known that Americans ave shed their blond for this princi ple. Then why will you allow goursdf a right you deny to others, and endanger the success of your Order in the cause of temperance. Whatever political views you may entertain let the ballot-box tell and de cide them. This is the only true course. To allow yourself a right you deny to others is despotic and contrary to the principles of our Republican govern ment. You certainly will agree with me that if there is a country on the face of the earth which ought to up hold this true principle of Government, it is the South, which lias sulfcred so much from the failure of others 11 aet up to it. We must practice what wc fireach. This Republican principle of letting every section take care of itself in its own way is the only passible basis of union, and there is not an or ganization in the world that pretends in any way to be National hut is or ganized on this same basis—Masons, Odd Fellows, Good Templars, and every other order (except the Friends of Temperance,) which has for its ob ject the advancement or good of man kind. In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, let me say that the State of Georgia Juris diction of Good Templars, standing squarely on this basis of union, has never been interfered with, and it nev er has been proven and never will he [ iroven that there has ever been the east attempt at interference with her mauncr of controlling her own affairs. Therefore,' as other sections have never troubled us iu any wav, we will not adopt the New England style of tim ing them into our views. The most sing ular fact connected with this new movement, is that several of the men who pretend to he leaders in it, and who have been engaged for three years in perfecting its arrangements, never saw'the importance of instituting it by action until after the election of officers in the Grand Lodge of Georgia, {sev eral of the active leaders were candi dates for jMsitioiu in our Order and were defeated. Possibly this may ac count for some of their animosity. This is the last article I shall write on this question. The further discus sion will do no grad, and probably harm to both organizations. We un derstand our basis of Union, aud do not wish to be held responsible if ’“Georgia” does not. The world is large enough for both, if we do differ in opinion. J. CF. TION SALE gf Lots in the city of Port Koval, S. C., will take place. Port lloyal is the tonnimin ot tho Port Royal Railroad,*which connects at Augusta with the Georgia Railroad and the whole system of Southern and Western Roads.
