Pioss Convention—lron m:d
Coal Minci ©iiytlie Crain.
As we gave (lie proceedings of thej
Press Convention during the. forenoon
of 24th August in our last issue, we
will now proceed t3 give a sketch of
the employment of time for the Press
gang for the next few days : At four
o’clock Tuesday evening, a fine turn- 1
out of the finest horses and best vehicles
that could be produced in the city of
Atlanta were found in front of U. S.
and American Hotels, by the . order of
his Honor, Mayor W. II Hulsey, for
the purpose cf giving the members of
the Pie.-s an idea of the Grate City of
the Empire State of the South. In a
very short time we had passed ovei
Alabama and W hitehall streets and out
to West End, wheeled right about and
passed through among the bariacUs,
which were more numerous than we
had supposed, thcra be ng about forty,
and will accommodate more persons
than }on would think in passing by
railway, hot we are proud to state that
it is ik t essential for them to contain
but few at present.
The next thing that arrests our at
tention, is the Utlev Press at 11. P.
(J 1 mi's Warehouse. This is an excel
lent Pres? for packivg hay or cotton,
W e very soon passed over Decatur
an 1 Peachtree striets and not cc a
large number of fine buildings being
erected of brick, and in the best style.
The residence now being built for J.
If. Ja mes. Eanlfcr is about the most at
tractive residence we noticed. The
building Ov copied by Messrs. Pember
ton, Wilson, Taylor & Cos., Druggists,
is a magnificent building, and a vast
amount of business is transacted there.
The Press company had pretty gen
erally passed throughout the city in
two and a half hours, and on return to
the start!ng point, the remark was very
general that Atlanta was now, and is
destined to be the greatest city of the
noble State of Georgia, and we cannot
I ass i t her without complimenting the
citizens in the. excellent selection of
one of Goorg a’s noblest sons for her
chief director as Mayor, to-vvit: Col.
W. 11. Uulsev, who is quite a young
gen leman,a lawyer of fine quahfica
tions, w ho is generous, affable mid ea-y
if acres- to all.
At 8 o’clock, P AL the Convention
Again in< t at the Ci y Had, but trans
acted very little business of impor
tance. 8 >me good suggestions were
made to be consul red by the different
Committees until the. Press convenes
again in November next, in the city ot
Macon.
At the hour of 1\ o’c'ock a. m. of
Wednesday, 25th ulr., the train for
comv\irg the members of the Press
was in motion, and all in high spirits
with a prospect of full supply ou hand
to conn uie them so, caused the time to
pass p’easant-ly by.
4 he subject of Agriculture should
have interested every one. From At
lanta to Uartersviue we found the crops
had improved some from recent show
ers in the last two weeks. We passed
ever 11.i- part of the road two or three
weeks si ce, and ’twas very dry then,
and crops much injured, but in passing,
wherever wc find the proper labor and
industry with a proper knowdedge of
agricu tore called into exercise, we find
<i suflici ncy will be made.
In pas ing at the beautiful town of
[Marietta we find many visitors from
<; fife rent parts of the State stopping
here for a healthy location, and from
its appearance we judge it is certainly
as healthy as any place in the State
( n arrival at, Cartersville we are bor
dering upon the mineral-regions, and
the sni jectof mining here begins to
-interest us. As the train stops at this
point we are saluted with the sound of
the most excellent music from the Cir
torsvil.c I rass Hand, which wis pur
rouruled hv a large crowd of gen de
mon, and, seated at t'ie depot, we saw
<j ite a nu nber of ladies who had turn
ed out to see the company that had
been proposed as a development for
Agr culture, Mining, Manufacturing,
Coal, Iron &?., in the region just above
them.
After a formal reception Pt this point
and b ing refreshed by cooling drinks
i:i the way of lemonades, etc., the com
pany we e shown some three hundred
specimens of iron ore, slate, marble,
sand stone, grindstone, &c , which spec
imens show plainly if the proper means
are used wist fortunes, now hidden in
Northern Georgia will soon be devel
oped.
The excursion party which consi-ted
of about one hundred men, about forty
of whom were press representatives,
the remainder of the gentlemen partic
ularly interested in the mines of the
State, Divines, Judges and Legislators,
were m t by a Comm’ttee of citizens
from Chattanooga, and invited to par
take of the hc-pitaluies of the ei’y
when Ih y arrived there. Near King
ston our attention was called to the
lime kilns of Col. C. W, Howard, who
is a citizen that has been, and is des
tined to he worth much to the interests
of Aortl. rn Georgia in aiding in the
development of the mineral resources
Ho h*s large experience in tins busi
ness. He joined our pai ty at this point,
and has been a valuable accession to
the prrty in giving his views at differ
ent points as we passed along. 110
certainly must be doing h fine business
in producing bme. At Dalton we stop
ped for a half an hour. Dalton is
bound, ere long, to he an important
central point for Northern Georgia to
aid in Manufacturing end developing
the mineral resources of the State.—

Sale of Real Estate at Co.m
yEßS.— While among every class of
business men we hear the complaint of
dull times, there is quite an excitement
in the real estate business, and in one
day during the week something less
than f20,000 worth of land was sold
in a’d around the suburbs of Conyers,

LESSON IN MUSIC.
CHAPTER XLV.
OF PARTIAL CHROMATIC AND ENHAR
MONIC modulation.
Qitfstion. Whenever the Dominant
and Tonic of anew key are nnp’oyed
without the Subdominant Harmony,
what does such change constitute 1
Answer. A Partial Modulation.
Q. When does a change of this kind
arise ?
A. One change of this kind arises
when the seventh if the Major Mode
is flattened, and the modulation returns
again through the Impading Note to the
Tonic.
Q. When the Chromatic Semitones
are introduced between the notes of the
Scale, in which the key is
contimmuy, although partially chang
ing. what is such change called?
A. Chromatic Modulation.
Q. If a Diatonic Sequence of Sev
enths is used to avoid modulation, of
what will a Chromatic Sequence of
Sevenths consist ?
A. Of Dominants alone, and the
Scale will change at every chord ?
Q. What is employed in modern
rnosic, in which the Semitones occur,
not as parts of the radical Harmony ?
A. A species of Chromatic Ttansi
tion is employed, but as Aopoggiaturas,
After notes, or Accinccaturas.
Q. What is the most difficult branch
of Harmony ?
A. The Inst and most difficult
branch of Harmony, is that which
arises from the sudden change of key-
made by the Enharmonic Diesis.
Q. What is to he understood by En
harmonic Diesis ?
A. As Chromatic pertains to semi
tones, Enharmonic signifies extremely
musical, entering quarter-tones or
smaller fractions than a semitone, for
uistanc 1 , from Gto A is a tone inter
val. Now if G sharp be taken instead
of G, and A flat instead of A, the dif
fi-rence between these extremes of the
iwo Chromatic Semitones, G sharp
i|md A flat, will form the Enharmonic
]>ies : s. -
i Q. What must be further considered
to understand this 1
A It must be understood that the
Interval of a Tone in the 'Theory of
Harmonics is not always the same
li bat Tone Interval which is between
the Fourth and Fifth of the Scale is
supposed to be divided into small
parts called commas ; while that which
is between the Fifth and Sixth of the
scale (major) is divided onL into eight
commas.
'Q. Of what does the Diatonic Semi
tone consist ?
A. Of five commas, while the Ohro*
matic Semitone consists of three or
four according to the magnitude of the
'Tone.
Q. Into what does the Enharmonic
Scale divide each Tone ?
A. Into two Chromatic Semitones
and the Quauone tone; hence the
tyvo Chromatic Semitones being taken
from the Minor Tone of (Eight com
mas) leave a residue of two commas
tor the Diesis or Quarter Tone, and on
the Temple Organ and a few other in
struments the tones from G to A, and
from D to E, (natural) aie of eight
commas, are divided into three parts,
by two distinct keys, one for G sharp,
another for A flat ; also one for D
anal p, ana anotner tor 1U flat.
Q. Is this arrangement common
with most keyed instruments '{
A. It is not in general, because in
strument tuners are governed by
Equal Temperament, which is such,
that the single short key between the
two longer keys serves for both purpo
ses, that betweeu G and A being tuned
higher than G sharp and lower than A
flat.
Q If the Chromatic Octave upon
keyed instruments consists of twelve
different sounds (exclusive of the Dia
tonic E ghth or Replicate of the first)
how many different chords in respect
of the, keys themselves may he pro
duced on the key-board ?
A. Three different chords. These,
in their simplest forms, are the add and
ninths of D, A, and E, Dominants of
their respective Minors, and each of
these chords, by the use of the Diesis,
ma}’ change into three other Harmo
nies; and thus an immediate step to
any one of the twelve minor modes
may be gained.
Note. — Mr. Corfe of Salisbury, in
his Thorough Base simplified, has giv
en a table of these chords, as used in
the twelve minor keys, <Sce.
Remark. Aft>r another lesson or
two we aim to review the most impor
tant points in our Lessons of the pres
et t volume of the Gazette and pre
pare to commence anew on the Theory
with the commencement of the second
volume.
The Chops. —Tn the course of a run of
someone hundred and fifty miles up the
Central Railroad, a day or two since, we
had an opportunity of observing the crops
on the line. We saw but one field of
j corn that could he considered good, and
that was on bit tom land, jf’he crop has
the appearance of having suffered from
drought, as the ears seemed small and bad
ly filled, as a general rule. The cotton on
the roadside is also quite small, and pre
sents somewhat of an autumnal appear
ance, the leaves being browner than is usu
al at this season and probably touched
more or less with lice or rust. We were
struck by the immen-o quantity of open
cotton in the fields —fmly one half the
crop being ready for picking. This is
i caused, probably, by the very hot suns
; for the last two weeks combined with some
unhealthy action in the plant.
The crops throughout the line of Cen
tal Georgia weie suffering much from dry
weather; the ponds were nearly all dried
up and water courses very low ; though
we passed through a fine rain between
numbers 9 and 10, which did immense
good in the limited i-trict where it fell. —

Awful Tragedy.— The quiet village of
Monroe was startled on Sunday night of
last week by the announcement that a
young lady —Miss d/ary Cunningham,
daughter of Mrs. Cunningham, of that
I place—hal committed suicide by poison
ing herself with strychnine. She was
, found iyingon the floor of tier bed-cham
ber at 12 o’clock that night, in violent
convulsions and frothing at the mouth. A
physician was summoned at once, but too
| 1a to to relieve her. He expressed the
: opinion that she was poisoned with strych
nine. The Coroner’s jury found a verdict
to the effect that she came to her deatli by
poison administered by her own hand.
There were many rumors in circulation
in reference to this tragic afikir, but we
forbear giving currency to any of them.

Answers to J. S, Terry.
Messrs. Editors; By your permission 1
will endeavor to answer Bro. Terry’s ques
tions.
Now, Bro. Terry, I don’t know that I
can answer ail your questions, or any, to
satisfy you, hut I will try, just to keep up
with the questions and not let them get so
far ahead, and I hope others will study
the theory of music so they will he able to
answer questions and not propound so
many. 1 believe you asked 7 questions in
the 3Gth number of the Gazette. Ist,
“Why does the letter A occupy the 2d
space in the tenor?” 2d, “ TFhy is B the
natural place for the “me” in four shapes ?”
3d, “Why is ‘me’ the leading note in this
lystem?” 4th, Why is C the natural Ma
jor key ?’’ So here I will consolidate your
questions and answer them all in one.
It pleased our Creator to give us a voice
and with that voice tones, and the num
ber of tones are 7, and the tones in music
are 7, and the number of letters used are
7, and in choosing the letters they chose
the 7 first of the alphabet, and A was
chosen for the natural minor key because
it comes first and C lor the maj"r because
it comes third, and there had to be one be
tween the two keys, and B, being the 2nd
and representing “me” midway between
the two keys, this is why the “me” is
the leading note in this system or any oth
er that I have ever seen. For stronger
proof why they are natural, we can speak
the letter A without moving our lips, but
B, we have to bring our lips together to
sp?ak it, so you see we bring more organs
into motion to speak the letter B than we
do to speak that of A, and the same to
speak Cas that of A ; so this is all the
proof that I can give why A and C are
natural. But why some become flat and
some sharp, I don’t exactly know ; but
som words arc sharp and some flat, so we
might reasonably suppose that some let
ters would be Hit and some sharp ; hut,
as I have said before, in choosing the first
7 letters to represent the 7 tones, A being
the first natural tone they placed it in the
first space of the Bass stave in order not to
have it too low that the voice could not
reach it, and C in the 2nd space of the
Bass stave in order that it should not run
so high on the tenor and treble stave that
the voice could not reach it, and placing
A and C thus, with B between them, threw
B on the space above the Bass stave, and
that sound or tone corresponding with the
one on the middle line of the tenor stave
and B representing that line and sound or
tone and A coming before B placed A in
the 2d space of the tenor staff.
Now, friend Terry, I have answered
your questions to the best of tny ability ;
hut if you are not satisfied I hope that
someone will answer your questions that
is more ab'e than myself; but as to the
whys and wherefores these letters become
placed that way is a mystery, and the
most correct answer that any one else can
give you on the subject is I don’t exactly
know.
I would be pleased to hear from others.
Yours respectfully,
NII’CORD.
About Crops.
An intelligent planter from Hancock
county, who has used fertilisers for years,
gives it as his opinion that, for the first
time in his experience, they will fail to pav
this year. Ho has lately traveled from
here to Atlanta, thence to Augusta and
back to Macon through Middle Georgia.—
fie reports crops generally bad. In Green
tolerably good. In Hancock vve will aliow
his statement as to his own to give an idea
of the whole. He had four hundred and
fifty acres cotton. In July there was the
finest prospect he had ever seen—counted
confidently on the 300 bales. His sights
are set now for only 150 bales. One half
cut off since July. lie thinks the country
generally will hardly make a bale to six
ams planted. As to manured cotton it
had grown far ahead of that unmanured
iu July, but the latter has now caught up
with it in size of weed, and r.Tns at this
time might cause it to make a little more
vuth a iate fab, whilst they would cause
manuicd cotton to take on anew and rap
id growth, which always fails to makeany

Nonsense About Night Air. There is
a popular pnjudice concerning the evil ef
fects of night air about winch a word must
be said. It was formerly the universal be
lief that the night air was verv injurious.
But the fact is, that, except under circum
stances, or in very damp weather, it is as
healthful, or even more so, than that ot
the day time. ’I he night air of large cities,
such as London, when the bustle and com
motion, which cause it to bo loaded with
dust particles, is comparatively quelled,
and the numerous fires which contaminate
it with their smoke arc mostly extinguish
ed, is purer than that of the day. Noth
ing conduces more to healt y sleep than
good ventilation surpasses that obtained by
opening a window at the top, by which
the influence of draught is avoided, while
the upper stratum ot air, to which impuri
ties ascend, is constantly renewed.

Sad Shooting Affray on Third
Street
On Saturday evening, about halt
past six o’clock, a disturbance occurred
at the store of Nussbauin & Damien
berg, on Third street, the facts ot
which, as near as we can ascertain them,
are as follows ;
It seems that just at evening two
colored men entered the store of Mes
srs. Nussbaum & Dannenberg with the
view of making purchases. One of
them, we hear, bought a pair of pan
taloons, and the other, named Aamn
Kemp, formerly an employee on the
Macon and Brunswick liai road, busied
himself in ldoking about him. The
young clerk, who was waiting upon
them, suddenly missed a package of
socks, and accused Aaron of taking
them, which the negro emphatically
denied. The clerk toon a’tempted to
seize Aaron, saying to him, “You’ve
got those socks under your coat, now
pull them out.” Again Aaron denied
having them, arid started to run out
of the store, when Mr. Louis J.ilieo
thnl (the clerk) caught up a revolver
anc fired upon him, the hall ent ring
the negro’s hack, passing t rough tLc
left ki.lney and entering the skin of
the abdomen in front, but not coniine:
out.
Policeman Avant instantly np
cn the ground and arrested the young
man whom ho conveyed at on -e to
the ’station House. .Captain James A.
Simps, n took charge of the wounded
negro and conveyed him to his cousin’s
house on Fourth street, just opposi o
the Station House. I lie negro was
waited m by Dr. Wright, of this oily,
who rendered him every attention, hut
he died about 3 o’clock yesterday
morning.
The negro who was sbo*, originally
came from Me tot county, Ga He is
about tweuty-fouryears of ago, was in
the employ of .he Macon Bruns
wick R .ilroad, aid had just returned
from Marietta, G , where he had b-f-n
to visit some of its friends. lie had
m his possession a pass from the Rail
road Company auborizing him to trav
el from Atlanta t this point, and for
ty-seven dollars aid twenty-six cents,
mostly in city moiey.
The young mat who fired the. fatal
shot is a German W both, and an Is
raelite in Ins relgious vifowg. 110 is
some twenty fuuryears of age, of me
dium height, and las been very atten
tive to ill a interefs of his < m ploy erg.
lie stated to us a&jiis reason for shoot
ing the negro, tint lie know io had
the socks under his ci.at, and
fearing that he mijht escape with them,
lie fired on the impulse of the moment,
and did not knowhe had Hit him until
lie saw the blood upon the floor. At
the same t me ht asked us very’ ear
nestly it the av did not authorize
him to shoot anybody that was caught
stealing if there vas danger of his get
ting away with the property he had
stolen.
The whole affair occupied but a few
seconds apparently, but it has pro
duced an immense amount of excite
ment among the negroes, one of whom
was placed in the Station House by the
police for being so demonstrative. The
whole affair, we presume, will be le
gally investigated this morning by some
magistrate.
IVejyro ltow at Mliitc Plains, (la.
On Saturday night, the 14th inst , a negro
man, who was living on the plantation ot Mr.
James Marchman, on or near the dividing line
ol Hancock and (jrecne counties, was murder
ed t>y a parly ot unknown peraoce in disguise.
It sei ms that the negroes in the neighborhood
become greatly excited, and supposing Mr.
Marchman to he implicated in the murder a
body of thirty-five or forty organized them
selves into a regular sris'ed company, on the
night ol the 18th inst., and repaired to Mr.
Marcbman’s house. They surrounded the house
and. with horrid oaths and vowa of vengeance,
commenced an indiscriminate fire on the prem
iers, in wdiich Mr. Marchman was severely
wounded. Alter keeping up the fire for fifteen
or twenty minutes, on the ass nance of Mrs.
Marchman that they had killed her husband,
they left the premises uttering the mort hitter
curses against the whites. 80 far as W3 can
learn, t!.e negroes made no effort at conceal
ment. Mr. Marchman made his escape, in dis
guise, and soon procured assistance. The civil
authorities acted promptly, and fifteen ol the
party have been arrested and confined in the
jail at Sparta. They have made a full conles
sion, and given the names at all the parties im
plicated. Floyd Moore, the leader of the gang
is yet at large.—Gieeusboro Herald, gbih Jjt.

Ficm the Atlanta Intelligencer.
Tiae Conud,
Atlanta, August 17, 18G9.
About two years since, I saw an
extract from an English journal
which stated ‘‘that in the close of
the summer of 1869, a large comet
would make its appearance a sec
ond time.” This fact I took a note
of, and a short time since I saw a
piece in some journal stating that a
comet had been seen in the North
east. About the middle of July
last, I commenced watching the
horizon at different hours of the
night, both in the Northwest and
Northeast, for the suid cornet, and
up to the 10th inst. I had made no
discovery, though I heard that it
had been seen. I continued my
observation until the morning of
the 13th instant, when at 3 o’clock,
nearly due Northeast, I discovered
a part of the tail of the comet low
down in the horizon, the light of
which was very faint, and shortly
disappeared. Its tail had two parts,
and, upon examination, I find it
nearly like that one seen in 1811,
which according to the observations
of the celebrated astronomer, Iler
schel, had a double tail, which was
very faint compared with its main
body. Shortly after the appearance
of this comet, this double tail van
ished and a small tail issued from it,
then vanished for a short time and
then made its appearance again.—
The estimate as to the length of its
tail is one hundred millions of
miles, and its breadth fifteen mil
lions of miles. I am satisfied from
the short time I saw it, which was
half an hour, that it is a comet of
immense propotions, and that it
will not make its appearance far
above the horizon until late in the
fall, when, at its rapid rate of
travel, it will begin to show itself
plainly. 1 am inclined to believe
that it is very close to the earth,
and has something to do with the
intense heat we have had for the
past two months and at present. —
More on the subject in the future.

here:
Whereas, The M. E. Church
South has made such changes in her
ecclesiastical polity and legislative
economy that we see but little dif

own, adopting a lay delegation
equal to the itinerrant (or clerical)
in their General Conference, which
is their legislative body, and lay
delegates in all the sessions or con
ferences of the Chuach ; and
Whereas, They have such litera

as we need, and can supply us with
a number of efficient ministers to
aid us in carrying the Gospel
throughout this State and Ohio;
therefore
Resolved, By this Annual Con

Decatur county, Indiana, August
21st, 1860, that we do hereby adopt
the principles, rules and regulations
of said Methodist Episcopal Church
South, as set forth in her Discipline,
to become thereby a Conference of
said church : Provided that this
action, with proper explanations, be

of the members of the Evangelical

vided, 1 urther, That the same shall
then be ratified by a session of said
Conference, which shall meet in
October 27, 1869.
A committee of three was ap
pointed to receive and count the
votes when reported by the pastors,
and name the place of meeting.—
All indications go to show that the
above action will be overwhelming
ly ratified. Bishop McTyeire will
then meet the Conference, and the
act be consummated, and their del
egates elected to the next General
Conference, vdiich meets next May
in Memphis, Tenn.
The people sustain this move by
every token of approval and the
warmest demonstrations. The con
ference, thus constituted, promises to
move off with about thirty ministers
and a corresponding membership,

The London correspondent of the New York
Times draws a dismal picture of life among
the laboring classes in England. Up says:
“Millionsof people in England live almost
entirely upon baker’s bread. Here, for exam
ple, is the way of life of a sober hard-working-
Englishman, irho earns 13s. a week, (say <4 50
gold siatidard,) and has a wile and six chil
dren. He neither drinks noremokes, and hands
over his whole wages to his wife. This is a
common practice in well ordered families
She pays 4s. a week for rent, Is. for coals ; can
dles, soap, etc., 9d.; a penny a week each foi
the six children to a burial club. Odd on a doc
tor’s bill due, Is. Here are 7s. 3d. of the 18s.
gone, and nothing to eat. Now the bill is fare
mr those persons : One pound of bread a
day (or each—the children scarcely taste any
thing else—comes to 7.5. a week ; twenty pounds
of potatoes, 8 1.; one pound butcher's meat on
Sunday and two pounds of salt pork for week
days. 2s ; one pound sugar, half a pound of
butter, one ounce tea, 13d., make up the
week’s account. No milk, no fruit, no clothing.
7 he only way thev can have that is for the chil
dren to get work or to die—then something
would come in from the burial clab. Thousands
on thousands of men work lor two-thirds these
wages or less. Plenty, even in large towns,
work (or 12s. a week. Thousands cannot taste
even the Sunday meat dinner. Great numbers
never taaie butter, they get a little dripping as
a substitute. In a London shop on a Saturdav
night, you will see great heaps of penny and
half-penny packets of tea, and penny worths of
hrown sugar, ready done up fot ‘people of mod
erate incomes.’ I once had the curiosity to buy
a half penny packet of tea—a cent's worth. It
resembled musty clover hay, and a decoction
tasted as you might fancy the drippings from a
heap of dead leaves to taste at the end of a hard
winter. ’ This is a striking contrast to the con
dition of (he same class in America. It seems
too (hat an investigation of the prisons and
workhouses discloses the fact that the inmates,
with but lit tie to do, are actually better cared,
lor, fed and clothed, when being ostensibly
punished as criminals, than the majority ol the
honest laborers are; thus offering a premium tc
crime instead of honest industry, by holding out
to offenders the indueements of good food,
clothing, medical attendance aud light work.

The Macon Telegraph of Thurs
day morning last contains the fol
lowing:
“We heard it stated yesterday,
by a policeman, that a most horri
ble and brutal affair occurred near
Station 10, on the Central Railroad,
on Friday last. lie stated that the
police of the city were endeavoring
to capture one of two negroes who
had forcibly carried to the woods,
near Station 10, two white youn^
ladies, and after gagging and bind°-
ing them, violated their persons in
the most fiendish and horrible
manner. One of the negroes is
without an arm, which he says he
lost when a slave of the father of
one of the young ladies, and in this
wise : He was endeavoring to make
his escape from his master when
the latter shot at him and broke
his arm, and thus necessitated its
amputation. The infernal wretch,
to gratify bis revenge upon the
father of the young woman, and
after lie had brutally violated her
person, took out his knife and cut
off one of her arms, and gave as
his reasons for doing so the facts
stated to have occurred when he
was a slave.”
“Our informant stated that one
of the negroes had been arrested,
and that the other was supposed to
be in this city. For the sake of
humanity, we hope the facts of this
case are exaggerated, or that the
horrible reports we hear are ground
less. If true, they surpass anything
we have ever heard or read of
either in ancient or modern history,
and human ingenuity would fail in
it efforts to invent a just punish
ment for the demons that would
perpetrate such a crime.”
Other reports from Macon sub
stantiate the truth of the foregoing
from the Telegraph. We "have
heard and read of crime—“crime
prevailing in the land”—till we are
heart-sick at it. But nothing more
appalling than this last outrage
have wc ever been called upon, as a
chronicler of the times, to place
before our readers. The fiends in
human shape that perpetrated the
outrage we trust will soon be
brought to judgement, and suffer
the full penalty of the law. These
outrages by negroes of white fe
males have become too common.—
It is not lust alone that seems to
prompt them, but a spirit of devi
lish hatred and revenge has attached
to most of them. Can the two
races ever live in peace when such
a spirit prevails?
