The fol lowing particulars were supplied to the Fiji Tiiruv by a Mr. Oluic : About half-past seven on Tuesday morning, some of the imported labor from Mr. Hums’ plantation arrived nit Rnra-tvfii, stating tbattho mowntainetrs had killed Mr. Burns nnd his wife. Mr. Macintosh immediately dispatch ed Mossre. Stirling and McGrath frith, about forty imported laborers to render assistance. In about half an hour they got in sight of the wretches, and saw them coming out of the bouse as thick as bees. When they saw the two white men coming they quietly walked away. Stirling nnd McGrath followed them up the plantation until they crossed the river, where they managed to fetch one down at a long distance. In looking about the plan tation they found the bodies of Mr. and Mis. Burns somedtetnncefronithc house both quite naked and mutillated. In a short time after nearly all the settlers oi* t oe river were on the place., At the examination '.of the bodies 1 saw that Mr. Burns had been clulibcd and tomahawked. Ho only tpanaged to shoot two ot them before they managed to give him his death - blow. IMrs. Burns, poor lady, must have sutlcrcd agony, by the look of her. She must have received two cuts with an ax or a tomalmwkVm the fop of her left shoulder on the first attack; her left band was raised to the wounds and still remains in the same position in her grave. She bail a cut under her left jaw, part of her teeth down her throat. Two holes, one on each side, evidently made with a spear, which had passed through her body lieforo she fell. I believe her death was caused by a club bing. The mountaineers, no doubt, were taking her away with the inten tion of eating her, lmt^vere too close ly pursued and compelled to leave her. The little boy was found outside the liouso, with a deep cut on the right side of his head, wu<t*thrce deep cals in his right groin, and his little head clubbed to a pulp. The little girl, an infant, was a shocking sight. It would npjiear they had taken her by the legs and dashed her brains out against the post of the bcd-rooni. The four bodies were brought and laid out under fhoveran dnh side by side. As far as 1 can ascertain at present thcro are ten Erromauga meu, five Tanna men and one Soloman woman killed. Tanna men, found with their legs cut off and carried away by the mountaineers; also several other bodies, no doubt for a cannibal feast. A iiumbqr, of flubs, spears, Ac., were pickejii <fji infold about, the hoiisc, which by their appearance have done a great deal of work in murder and des truction of property Alter ransacking everything they commenced to destroy nil they possi bly could. Some money, a chock, and otiier valuable papers, letters, a clock, jewellery and a gold watch were found all over the floor ; papers, Ac., recover ed in good preservation. Everything in the bedroom, with the exception of one large mirror and medicine chest (unbroken); were taken away. They were very successful in taking away a number of guns, I think not less than twenty, but they did not get much ammunition. Next morning the mountaineers were plainly to be seen with a large amount of their plunder spread out upon the rocks to dry. The mountaineers sent tis word that they do not intend stop ping at this, as they have had a com plete success, murdered twenty in all, carried a great deal of property away and destroyed very much more. Wo are informed that Tayna, Mr. Berry’s plantation, is to he the next place visited by the natives. FRIDAY Fr<>m ibr Griffin Star. Tll£ jtQMI^f^Aiy IFffiSIOX. LAUUilEBISXS. The following is taken from a lettdr written by Col. H. D. Capers, to a gentleman in Putman county, giving his opinion of the Homestead decision and tho effect Bankruptcy will have, apd wliat.the SgpreiAe Court of the United States will desiro in reference to the retro active clause of the Hofne- stead law, where tho property has been set aside in Bankruptcy. The opinion of Col.

Capers thinks qf Covington, Ga., May 12,1873. r Stanfordvillc, Putnam County : My Dear Sir—Your letter asking my opinion with respect to the opera tions of the recent decision of the Uni ted States Supreme Court, lieing on the constitutionality of the Homestead law, as it is called in our State now, and as provided for in tho Constitu tion of Georgia, adopted by the Con vention of 15(58, Ac., has been re ceived Nothing can be more plainly stated, than the annunciation of the Supreme Court, that Homesteads which have been set apart under our new Home stead law, in the face of the obligations of contracts, made prior to the adop tion of our State Constitution, are estates created under the terms nnd and provisions of a State law which is retroactive in its character, and hence, made to impair the obliga tions of these contracts. It is in view of this export facto foatuy of the new Constitution of Georgia, that the United States Supreme Court declares the “Homestead Law” of Georgia unconstitutional, and, there fore, null and void. No proposition can be more hostile to the genius of true constitutional law, and more injurious to the liberties of our people, than tho declaration • * f,T wr lji ; t - » • ,{i . i A social glass to wiiicli AttO''ladies arc addicled-Hthfi mirror. | A revivalist asked an African if lib had fqpud.the Lord. “Golly,” said Sambo, “am do Lord feet??"

H {> L I .‘I t made through our latter day State 1 jgislntion, that homesteads can or s’lould he maintained under the op- pjrations of a statute, or the provisions of the organic law of a State which were enacted or have been adopted since the creation of an obligation, or a contract made in good faith, and at a time when another Homestead law was in force, exempting from levy and sale hut a nioity of the applicant’s estate. I have never been able to discover in the Homestead law, when so applied, even an equity which could bring it within the enlightened conscience of the most liberal department of juris prudence. My opinion, as you well know, has been uniformly, that it was not based upon a single principal of sound law ; only to he considered as tho diplomatic address of certain shrewd jwlitimns who were courting popularity in Georgia by appealing to a very weak element of our poor liumau nature. Again, you ask me if, I think your Homestead can he saved to your fami ly through the operations of the Bank rupt law of the' United States?. I answer you. thatifyour homestead has been, set aside after the creation of a lien of contracts on it, nrndo prior to the adoption of our State Constitution in 18(58, I do not think that it will be maintained under the exemption pro visions of the Bankrupt law of the United States longer than a case can lie brought properly before tho United States Supreme Court. You may, after enduring the traverse of an ad judication in bankruptcy, hold it against tho above cited class of obliga tions for a siiort time, hut the end of all this “proceeding in bankruptcy,” as for as yotir case is-concerned, is art- nonced in all I have written abovo, with regard to the decision of tin Supeme Court on the constitutionnlit; of tho Homestead law, as passed upoi at Washington City. ‘jKcep’cjn alive boy, keep’em alive!” said an, ojld physician to his younger brother pMctitioncr; “dead men don’t pay bills.” The devil is tho father of lies, hut h6 failed tefr’gCt out a potent ov his invenshun, and his bizzniss is now suffering from compctishun.

There is rarely a mother who is a success at rousing a boy. All mothers know’ tlils;/rf><lo their Txjys. And yet the mother seems to go at it in the right way; she opens the stair door nnd insinuatingly observes: “Johnny.” There is no response. “Johnny.” Still no response. Then there is a short, sharp “ John” followed a moment later by a prolonged and emphatic “ John Henry.” Ik grunt from the upper region signifies that ai impression has been made, and thfc mother is encouraged to add, “You’d Litter lie getting down hefo W^xti - hienkfnst, young man, lieforo I comb «1‘ thfitc,' an’ give yon something you’ll feel.” This so startles tho young inaD that he immediately goes'tn sfeep again.

The .corn crop is sure to make as it is planted. Cotton will make 2000 lbs to the acre, average crop, if the worms do not come, and they have not come hut one year since I have been hero. It is never very cold nor hot; I havo not seen a night since I liavd been here but I could sleep under a blanket nor a day that I could go without my coat. We have had no sickness, not even a bad cold. You know that. I was troubled with the pilc3 a great deal when I lived in the States; I never got entirely well of them. I havo not hbught land. I have rented a coffee farm with 5000 trees. I givo lulf the colleo when gathered. There is plenty of cleared land on the place far which I pay no rent and cultivate^ ak‘ much as I please. Tho land grows up with \yeeds and hushes in one year so you caii cut them down with what they call a force, which ha.s a socket like a brier hook a blade about twelv4 inches long. They stick a handle in the socket and cut down the weeds ery rapidly and then put fire to them and burn them off clean. As soon as this is done they stick holes three of four feet apart and drop four or five grains of corn in a hole and step on it or job your stick down by the side of it. That is all tho work it gets. Some hut six to eight grains in a hole. The corn will make before tho weeds and hushes hurt it. I have not given one lick in my corn this year. I havo plenty of old corn and my new corn is dry. We plant corn and cotton from August to Christmas. October is tho best month for planting. The dry season bcgins,iu March and the-;wet season in January. Wo have' showers enough in the dry season to keep the ground moist enough to make corn and cotton come up and grow. Wc have time to cultivate our cotton be fore the wet season sets in. We can hit the wet season with our corn and never fail to make good crops. We never have heavy rains at any time like you do sometimes in the States.' The rain comes in showers. I do not work much in the farm. make plows and sell them to the Brazilians at high prices. Joseph, my youngest child, strikes in the shop and blows the bellows. Wc make from $10 to §15 per day. The Brazilians arc anxious to learn how to farm like the Americans and will give high prices for American overseers—from 8G00 to §1090 a year. x Everything that I have seen planted here grows well. We planted two yam potatoes last year. £ cut vines from them and planted about half an acre and I never saw ono-fourth of that miiny potatoes on that much land — many of them weighing 8 and 9 lbs.
