He informed us that he had organized numerous societies of the order in Georgia. At one time he had charge of the Huguenot church in 8 heavy frost yesterday morning, and ! Charleston, S.

Winter's en tire crop of cotton, that he had gath ered, was burned. We- have not as yet learned particulars. The following official circular from the Comptroller General to the Tax Collectors of Georgia, w ill be interest ing to the tax payers, and we publish it for their.benefit. It will be seen that those who fail to pay their taxes in time for the Collector to make his re turn by the time specified will suffer the penalty. Comptroller Gen’s Office, ) August 1st, 1873. j To the Tlt Collector* of Georgia: The law requires me to have the taxes collected by Decemticr 15th next. I shall therefore exj>ect and positively require every Tax Collector in the State to settle with this office on or before that time, or they mustsuffer tho penalty. Close your books, issue ti. fas. etc., in ample time to make settlement as above. W. L. Goldsmith, Comptroller General. It will be observed that there is absolutely no discretion left with tho Tax Collectors, all State taxes must he paid by the first of November, at which time the Collectors are expected to close up their books in order that they may have the necessary time (thirty days) to publish all defaulters. 1 ax payers will save themselves trouble and expense, and the Tax Collectors time and annoyance, by paying their taxes as early as possible. Tlie Granges. The Granges are daily becoming more popular with the people, and the house of Talmadge, Hodgson & Co. is becoming daily more popular with the Granges. They keep the very best quality of goods, and scll them at the lowest figures. It will eost von nothing to examine their goods and prices. The Granges.—In the course of a speech delivered in Augusta last week, by Mr. C. W. Howard lie said: “ It is projected by the Granges to establish a hank of accommodation, also for the benefit of farmers — sup plying them with money at a low rate of interest with which torun their farms. It is believed that 12,000 bales of cotton can be controlled by the State Grange, upen which capital of $1,000,000 could be secured for this bank. When the organization is completed, and the amount of the present cotton crop of Georgia is somewhat definitely ascertained, it is also proposed that the State Grange styill fix the prices of cotton for this crop at,18p r 20. cents, or such sum as in their judgement may seem best. Post Office.—We would propose rc - to the owners of the Deuprec property to build a house on the vacant lot ad joining Dr. King’s Drug Store for a Post Office. We don’t know a better location in the city for such an office. Most of the business is done on Broad street, and it is there that merchants “ most do congregate,” and such public buildings should bo located as much for their convenience as possible. We (relieve it would give general satisfac tion, and we hope the matter will he considered by those who own the lot, We believe it would pay. Professor B. B. Elston.—We hope our readers will read the adver tisement of this gentleman, more par ticularly the youths and young men of our city. Mr. Euston proposes to open a class in Penmanship and Bookkeep ing. All young persons should avail themselves of this opportunity to write n handsome hand (for it is really an accomplishment),and become thorough ilookkee|>crs. We all know that a first- class Penman and Bookkeeper will command a high salary—they are very scarce, and are eagerly sought after by merchants. Professor Fustin comes to us highly recommended. We have | examined his specimens, and unhesita- tingly pronounce them superior to any thing of the kind we have ever seen. Specimens may be seen at the Post Office. The Dupree Will Case.—This case, in which so much property was involved, was settled Wednesday at Lexington Court by compromise. The atorneys agreed upon a verdict, which was signed by the jury. We learn the cavators allowed the propounders their lawyer’s fees amounting to $20,000, All agreeing that Judge Dupree died intestate. Council for executors would have been allowed fees for pro bating the will, had the case been given in favor of either party. We are highly pleased. Dr. Hiinnicutt, and Messrs. Yancey and McCalla have come out victorious. They were certainly entitled to it, and we con sciously believe it was a just verdict. A man’s children should certainly inherit his property. Tlie Panic. llnve your pockets made stouter for specie is coming. Miss Agnes Lee, the second daughter of Gen. Lee, died at Lexington hist Wednesday week. It is reported that the Catholics are withdrawing from the Granges in Min nesota. Specials to the New York papers con firm Allen's election in Ohio and a Dem ocratic Legislature. A Hungarian, seeing his wile dying of an accidental dose of corrosive sublimate, treated her with killing kindness and shot her dead rather than see her suffer. A dispatch from San Francisco says that the remnant of the Modoc tribe arc on their way to Fort Russell, escorted by two companies of troops. The courts of Illinois are reported to have already over 8,000 divorce cases on their dockets, with accessions of new ap plications at the rate of29,000 per annum. In Toledo, Ohio, a shanty occupied by a family named Kelly was destroyed by tire Monday morning, and Kelly nnd his wife and grand child perished in the flames. A sad accident occured in Pennsylvania the other day. A young lady broke her arm while trying to turn a somersault. Her physician expresses the hope that she is improving. The total number of deaths in Mem phis from the 13th of Scptemlier to the 10th inst., (including thirty by yellow fever previously reported) is twelve hun dred nnd twenty, of which eight hundred aud eighty were by yellow fever. In Louisville, Tuesday afternoon, Jacob Daub shot his wife deliberately, with a shot-gun, while sitting in his back porch. After she fell dead,.he remained sitting, with gun in hand, until six o'clock, when his son came home and Daub was arres ted. He said she Tiud been unfaithful and should have been shot long ago. Macon is some on charily. A number of prominent citizens requested the Lulu combination to devote the profits of their last night’s entertainment to Memphis. The house overflowed with emptiness, and the profits of the exhibition lacked thirteen dollars and a half of being a cent. Comment would be fatiguing. There will be a wonder at the Macon Fair in the shape of a Confederate sol dier who had his nose cut off by a sabre duringthc war. Not caring to lose that facial adjunct, he placed it back and bound a handkerchief around his head to hold the nose until it took root again. Unfortunately for him it was put on up side down, and when he wants to blow his nose he is compelled to stand on his head to do it. A Griffin man had to have his mother- in-law arrested for beating him. An Atlanta merchant’s hair has turned gray since the suspension of Jay Cooke. New Advertisements.

The panic that has so recently agita ted the financial world is now subsi ding, and trade is looking up a little. The people arc again looking around for cheap goods. Those who try to find the cheapest goods, and get the best bargains, trade at tho store oppo site the Post Office. A Sharp Criticism on Mrs. Jas. A. Oates.—The New York of Tuesday, shines hotly on the head of Mrs. James A. Oates—or rather Titus —the lively little lady so well known “down South,” and who is now playing an engagement in New York. It says: “Mrs. J. A. Oates imjiersonatcd Mrs. James A. Oates under a different name last evening at the Olympic Theatre. On this occasion she called herself the Grand Duchesse. This name was about the only resemblance which she bore to the heroine of Offenbach’s most popular opj-ra boutfe. She appears to be ignorant of any kind of art, is in temperate in the use of a rather hard, sharp voice, in :i certain unvarying se ries of bodily motions, and the* means of showing self-consciousness. She seems inclined to hold intimate rela tions w ith her auditors, and generally talks to, looks and smiles at them, in stead of addressing herself to the per sonages who help her in the. attempted representation. This representation is sometimes funny; at least that given last night was so, but not in the way that Offenbach intended. The dresses were bright enough, and so was the scenery; nnd a moderately large audi ence was present.” The managers of the Tennessee State Fair disgraced themselves by allowing a “gandA-pulIing” exhibition at Nash ville on last Thursday. The brutal performance is thusdescrihed: A rope is stretched at such a height that the neck of a live goose suspended from the centre is barely within the reach of a man riding a bare-backed horse. The feathers are plucked from the goose’s neck, which is greased. The “knights” who engage in the “tournament” ride under the rope at a gallop nnd seized the bird’s neck, the man who pulls it off being proclaimed tlie victor. The Warrants for tlie arrest of ninety coun terfeiters and those implicated in East Tennessee and North Carolina, have been issued. The implicated parties include lawyers, doctors. Justices of the Peace, Postmasters, United States deputy mar shals, Clerks of Courts, and humorous merchants. The counterfeiting area em braces two hundred miles. Mounted ex peditions made a surprise. The Newbcrn Time* bus the follow'ing intelligence: The ivronuut of Haight's circus met with a serious accident at Kingston, recently, which may prove fa tal. It seems that the balloon in de scending, and when about one hundred feet from the ground bursted, and came down with a crash, crushing the man badly. He was removed on a litter and and medical assistance rendered. Calhoun Timex: On Saturday morning last about ten o'clock the people of this community were thrilled by the announce ment that the body of Alfred Hicks, a son of Mr. II. K. Hicks, a respected citi zen ot our town, bad been discovered in the pond, about one-fourth of a mile above Oglesby’s mill. The true manner in which he met his death is yet envelop ed in mystery, and suspicions of foul play rest Another boys who were with him on the fatal evening. Albany Central City : Dr. Calloway, of Lee county, brought in on Monday' last one of the most wondcrlul curiosities it has 1km.ii our fortune to see. It was a chicken, which in the Spring would be a dominccker hen. laying eggs and per forming all the duties ot a hen. By Fall ot the same year this hen would change it* plumage aiul ter and become a red rooster, discharging all the functions and confirming to all the habits ot cock ot the barnyard. Mortimer M. Leggot, a young student at Cornell University, and son of the Commissioner ol Patents, was found about ten o’clock a few evenings since in a secluded ravine near Ithaca so serious ly injured that he died before midnight. His death was caused by a fracture of the skull nnd dislocation of the neck. It is reported that ihc unfortunate youth was being initiated into one ofthosc ab surd secret societies which disgrace some colleges, and that during the ceremony, being blindfolded, he fell over the bluff. The pathetic story contained in the old balled “The Mistletoe Bough.” had something of a parallel on the 9th inst., at Cedar Rapids, Mich. A Mrs Smith, while visiting her mother in that city, missed her iufunt son, about eighteen months old, when she prepared to depart. They searched the house and at lust found the child dead in a trunk. Like the hapless bride in the old song the child Imd entered the trunk onlv to meet its death. The heavy lid had’ fal len upon its neck and had broken tlie spinal vertebra;. The unfortunate moth er became almost insane over tho event, and her condition at last accounts was precarious, owing to the excess of her grief. The Legislature of 8outh Carolina met in extra 6cssinu Tuesday. Gov. Moses sent in a lengthy message. He represents the funded debt to tie $150,275.0:1 mid the floating debt, $530,306.07. 11c presents a scheme ot scaling the debt, the State being unable to pay the interest on the debt ns it stands, the bondholders will lie induced to ugree that the debt tie re duced in volume. All the bonds lor which the State is actually liable, except $38,000 State capital bonds of i873, con version bonds, amounting to $5,965,000 coupons upon the bonds pay certificates, bill payable in scrip, nnd other evidences ol State indebtedness to lie returned to the State Treasurer, who shall issue in stead other bonds or certificates of stock equal in amount to the face value of such bonds, coupons, and certificates. He concludes with an argument in favor of higher taxation, saying the rate of taxa tion in South Carolina is much lower account of the Nashville affair states than the average of the thirty seven States of the Union. A defalcation in the Atlanta post office amounts to $7,800. The financial condition of Augusta is brightening. The Brunswick and Albany Railroad brought, at its sale, five hundred and thirty thousand dollars. According to the report of the Secre tary 220 granges exist in Georgia at the present time. A Cherokee county man got twelve thousand pounds of cotton trout fifteen acres. Auiericus reports a trio of accidents, two of them growing out of a careless use of cotton gins. Among the preparations in Macon for the State Fair may be noted the arrival ot filtcen first class pickpockets. The Georgia tapte Grange will meet in convention at Macon on the 25th of this month. Albany has a fowl on exhibition, cross between a guinea lien and a cotn- tnotr chicken. A North Carolina man drove a flock of forty-two turkeys to Gainesville, adis- tance of ninety tnilcs. A Fort Valley man tried to get to Heaven on two boxes of rat poison, but made an exasperating failure. David Dickson, ot Hancock county, cultivated thisyoar800 acres in cotton 600 in corn, and 185 wheat nnd oats. It is said that a Houston county lady will exhibit one hundred and fifty arti cles of domestic manufac.ure at the State Fair. Two negroes have been arrested in Brooks county by Commissioner Wade, for kn-kluxittg another man dr their own color. There is a rumor around Griffin that a young man named English, who recently prosecuted some negroes, has been found dead in l’ike county. A Muscogee county negro woman, who emigrated to Texas two years ago, has returned, having become dissatisfied with her new home. The cotton manufactories in this State consumed thirty-nine thousand one him dredand twenty-two hales of cotton last season. A meeting of the surgeons who served in theConlederate Army, lias been called to take place in Atlanta on the 26lh of May A complete line of steamers has been secured to ply between Port Royul and Liverpool.

From all parts of the State cotton is reported as opening very rapidly, and it is expected that the entire crop will be gathered by the middle or lust of No vember.

Lumfkin, Agent, A terrible prairie fire swept over twen ty-five miles of country near the Omnlm and South-western Railroad in Saline nnd Jefferson counties, Nebraska, on Tuesday. Many houses nnd large quan tities of grain were destroyed. At Wit tier ten school children were caught iu the flumes. Three perished on the spot, three more will die and four arc dread fully maimed, hut will recover. Mrs. Manley, mother of three of the children, ran to help them and received fatal in juries. The fire originated near the Otoe reservation and traveled northenst, a distance of over twenty-five miles, de stroying everything in its path. Near Wilber nnd ten milta south of Crete, the avnlnnche of flume approached a school house filled with children, a number of whom rushed ont and endeavored to es- o-ipe. Ten of them were overtaken and three burned to death; three fatally in jured and four very severely maimed. Most of them are girls. The mother of three ot these children, in her endeavors to save them, was so terribly burned that tbe .cannot recover. Immense quan tities ot grain, many houses nnd barns were destroyed, and there is much suffer- i ering feared in consequence. Athens Retail Prices Current. Corrected by J.

Thus these Pills arc at tlie same time a tonic and « cathartic, a des deratnm I«ag sought lor by medical men, but never Infore dh- covered. In other words, they dolthe w. rk of two medicines and do it much better than any two w» know of, for they remove nothing from the »)*!«» but impurities, so that while they purge they strengthen and hence they caufie no debility aoa arc foil* wed by no reaction.
