l A good many of the Northern
papers have had a good deal to say
about a son of Gen. D. H. Hill re
cently having received the appoint
ment of Cadet at West Point. They
think this is horrible and should not j
be allowed, notwithstanding the fact
that, North Carolina and other South
ern States, pay their pro rata, towards j
the National government. It is none
■ol their business who received the ap .
pointment, as this is a matter left
entirely with the Congressional Piss
1 riels. Another tiling which seems
,<o trouble these fellows no little,
from the great flourish they make
over it, is, that I). 11. Hill and other
West Point graduates should have
drawn their swords during the late
war, against the Union, after having
been educate** at the National ex
pense. They ignore the fact that
the States ol the South before the
late war, were a part of the Union, and
ns such, bore their part of the expense
of educating their sons at Wevt Point,
and that these sons when the war
came, considered that their allegiance
was due to their native States, by
whom they were really educated, and
not the Union.
llung.—According to previous an
nouncement, I. B. O’Neal was hung
in Atlanta ou last Friday for the mur
der of Little some year or two ago,
in that city. The Atlanta papers of
last Saturday contained full and de
•tailed accounts, of the hanging.—
O’Neal protested his innocence to the
last, saying that he did not murder
Little, but only acted in self-defence,
that lies were sworn against him—
that he was poor and that was one
reason why he was hung. He clung
to the hope of a respite, or commuta
tion of his sentence by Gov. Smith to
the last moment.
W7° Mr. Alexander 11. Stephens is
called by the Montgomery Journal,
“the workingest man in the South,
never being idle, but while sick, crip
pled and emaciated, writing histories
for old and young, editing a daily
paper, canvassing and getting elected
to Congress, and making the grand
est speech of his life while held up by
a pair of crutches.”

Letter from £exas,
Editor Times :—lt may be that
a few lines from a very unworthy
writer in a distant place would inters
rest some of your readers.
W e formed a very unfavorable
opinion of Texas at first, and, although
our opinion has greatly changed lor
the better, yet we do not feel prepare
ed to give our views of the State’s
advantages and disadvantages; but
we hope some future day to give our
Carroll friends, through your columns
a few ideas of what we think of a
person selling out in Georgia and “go
ing to Texas ”
We have spent seven months in the
State and during that time have seen
several counties and have carefully
noted every advantage and disadvan
tage to be met with.
We have seen some very rich land
and some poor, but less poor land
than any State we were ever in. We
spent two weeks in Eastern Texas a
short time ago, and were very favora
bly impressed with that part of the
State. We found plenty wood and wa
ter which sounds very natural to an old !
State fellow, who always had plenty
of oak and pine to burn during win
ter, and pure water to drink during
Summer.
Our greatest objection to that part
of the State was the amount of sand ;
but we met with so much hospitality
that we were willing to overlook the
unpleasantness which the sand pro
duced.
The young ladies did everything in
their power to make time pass off
pleasantly, and we justly acknowl
edge, they have made such lasting
impressions upon our minds, that if
we ever settle in Texas, we will be
compelled to “go for gome one of
them.’’
On our return we Had the pleasure
of attending a picnic at Waxahachie
which was accompanied by all the ex
ercies 'that usually accompany su,ch
gatherings. There was no order of
exercises in the afternoon, so we
spent the time very pleasantly looking
at the ladies of the Lone State. The
evening passed on and many hearts
seemed to beat happily—
“ Soft eyes looked love to eyes which ppake again,
And all went as merry as a marriage bell.’’
All appeared to enjoy the day
pleasantly, and returned to their
homes at night, confident of having
spent the day profitably, as well as
pleasantly.
Crops in Texas are beginning to look
very fine. Wheat is looking very
well, but not so good as expected. A
great deal of rain has fallen within a
few days past, and everything seems
to rejoice with great joy, that plenty
of water has again come.

Journalistic.—Changes in the
newspaper world seem now to be
the order of the day. We notice in
last week’s Atlanta papers that the
Christian Index, the popular Baptist
paper has passed from the hands of
Mr. J. J. Toon, to Messrs J. P. Ilarri -
son & Cos.
And now comes Fitch, of the Griffin
Star, and says, he too, feels constrain
ed, to retire from the chair editorial,
“for a short vacation and season of
rest.” lie is succeeded by Eugene P.
Speer Esq, who is spoken of as a
“competent gentleman to fill the posi
tion of editor and publisher. ’’ We
are glad to learn that it is not Mr.
Fitch’s intention to retire permanent
ly from the profession of journalism,
“but only to take a little rest,” as we
should regret to lose his spicy and
unique pen from the Georgia Press.

| An Egg Within an Egc . —Mr. D. S.
Satterwhite, residing four miles below
town, showed us an egg the other day
which was something of a curiosity.
It was an egg within an egg the egg
(which was that of a common hen)
had within it a small soft shell egg
about the size of a partridge egg. —

that, Sharpe?

Homicide.—We are reliably in
formed that on yesterday an alterca
iton took place between two colored
train hands, Henry and Charles, on
the Savannah Griffin Road, near
the Chattahoochee river, resulting in
the death of the latter. We did not
learn the particulars of this unfortunate
affair. Henry was arrested immedi
ately and taken to Newnan for trial
Our informant left there before his
trial was over.— Griffin Star.
Considerable improvement is
said to be going ou in Giffin.
Newnan Items.

the anniversary of St. John, the Bap

The Jail.—Hearing that Crayton
Hicks, confined in jail on the charge
of murdering Thomas Brown, in Car
roll county, Saturday, May 31st. an ;
account of which we published in out
last issue, had made a full, free and un- j
reserved confession, on Tuesday we
went to the jail, in company with P. j
F. Smith and Sheriff Hackney, tolearn
whether the report was true, and if
so give our readers a correct version
thereof.
The prisoner is a young man of 21
or 22 years of age, and, save its sad
ness, his countenance presented a
pleasing appearance. We soon made j
known our business, when he informed
us that the rumor was partly false,
although his fellow-prisoners said he
had criminated himself. We did not
urge him to confess, and only asked
him general questions, answers to
which wouldn’t hurt him in any event.
We learned, however, that he had the
same old tale to tell, “was drunk when
he did it.” What a warning to young !
men, what a warning to parents !
Failing in our object, we spent a
few moments in conversing with the
other prisoners and examining their
cells. In one room are confined
Charles Albright, charged with the
murder of John W. Wood ; Coleman,
charged with robbery ; and Crayton
Hicks, charged with the murder of
Tom Brown. Albright and Coleman
were lively and talkative, frequently
indulging in hearty laughter, while
Hicks was dejected. All of these
prisoners were sent here trom Carroll
connty.— New nan Herald.

. A Big Bankrupt Case.
A GRIFFIN MAN GOES UP FOR $40,000!
Hannibal 1. Kimball and Edwin N.
Kimball’ have filed their petition in
Bankruptcy in the District Court of
the United States for the District of
Massachusetts. Their liabilities amount
to $3,760,177 45. The amount of in
debtedness returned in Georgia foots
up the handsome little sum $708,550.
Henry Clews tfc Cos, one banking
Company in New York, loses the
small sum of $1,000,000. J. C. Seatv,
of Griffin, feels the pressure to the
trifling sum of 40,000, that he worked
for as contractor on the Van Wert
It. It. As to the assets of the estates
we are not advised, but if they will
amount to fifty cents in the dollar on
the indebtedness, the assignees, who
are to be chosen at a Court of Bank
ruptcy, to be held at Boston on the
10th June, at eleven o’clock, a. m.,
have a good thing of it.
Leprosy.—This dreadful disease
which we read of in the Scriptures,

New Silver Trade Dollar.
The following description of the
new coinage,—-the silver trade dollar
is thus given. The obverse has a
female figure seated on a bale of cot
ton °pd extending the right hand,
grasping an olive branch, toward the
open sea in the left hand is a scroll,
bearing the word “ Liberty,” and at
the base of the device is the motto,
“In God we trust’’ The date of the
coinage (1873) appears on the obverse,
together with the ha o of thirteen stars.
The reverse is the figure of an eagle,
with the inscription, “United States of
America,” and the motto U EPlariLus
UniimA The weight and fineness, with
the words “ Trade Dollar,” are also
appropriately inscribed on the reverse.
The working dies will be commenced
immediately at the Philadelphia Mint,
and the coins are expected to be rea
dy about the middle of this month Al
ready there has been deposited in
New York upward of a million of
dollars to be exchanged for the new
dollar, and this will be the first requi
sition filled. It is supposed that
about five millions of the new coin
will be issued each year. A large
I portion of them will be sent to Eng
land to be used in the China trade
They will undoubtedly in the course
of time, supplant the Mexican dollar,
being of more value than the latter.

News Items.
Macon had a fire Thursday morn
in". It was in Conner & Bostwick’s
tD
cotton press building, on Poplar*
street, in the rear of Messrs. Collins,
Flanders & Go’s warehouse, and the
building, together with the press, was
entirely consumed. The gentlemen
estimate their loss at $1,20). They
were insured for $1,003.
The Southern Express Company
carried to Atlanta, YY ednesday, for j
Governor Smith, two watermelons
from Florida, weighing between sixty
and seventy pounds each. r l hey were

county, as a mark of bis admiration
for the high character and fearless ad

There is a great demand among
farmers in the vicinity of Gwinnett
county, for laborers. Hands get ex
tra wages. Some planters will have
to abandon part of there crops unless
thev can tret help. The grass crop
is luxuriant, and promises an abun
dant yield. Corn is small bat looks
well, and is growing finely. Oats are
looking well. A large crop of cotton
has been planted, and is looking thrif

Mr. Jas. Reeves, of Athens, attacked
Mr. Randolph, a negro psalm singer,
with a stick. The negro, it is said,
pushed Mr. Reeves’ daughter off the
sidewalk. Upon Mr. Reeves strik
ing Randolph, he, Randolph, struck
Reeves a heavy blow over the head
with a stick, when Reeves, drawing
his Deringer, fired at him. Randloph
then drew his pistol and fired at
Reeves three times, Reeves in the
meantime nearly knocking him down
with brickbats. Reeves then stepped
into a shop near by and procured a
shot gun, and Randolph then mount
,ed the wings of the morning and flew
to the uttermost parts of the city,
Reeves riddling him with one or two
small shot,
It may be regarded as a favorable
symptom of the times that no less
than six eminent {Southern clergymen
have been invited to fill, either tem
porarily or permanently, the various
pulpits of New York city.
This would argue, says the Macon
Telegraph, that the people are tiring
of sensational preaching, and seeking
to return to the sincere milk of the
word. In this latitude, with .all our
faults, the pulpit has retained its puri
ty, and the gospel is dispensed in the
apostolic spirit of the early church.
Long may it be ere politics or other
outside issues shall invade its sacred
precincts.
An intelligent gentleman, writing
from Cuthbert, June 12th, to a friend
in this city, says: “The expression i;
frequently made by persons of Intels
ligence and integrity that nothing
short of a good crop and a good price
can save the people from general and
hopeless ruin. The crop prospect is
the finest I ever saw at tills season of
the year, all things considered, in the
counties below, where I have been;
butitisnow well authenticated that
the cotton caterpillar has appeared in
numerous localities, and great fears are
entertained of a general destruction ot
the crop. There were bolls enough for
a small crop last year beyond the pow
er of beak before he was batched ; the
destruction of leaves and small forms
was, therefore, not a total destruction
of the crop. But you can easily com
prehend the fears of the intelligent
planter when he is made to realize
that the worm has preceded the fruit
ing of Ids cotton, and when he can
see no reason why it is not wholly at
the mercy of the destroyer. If the
worm should increase, as it did last
year, there will not, in all this part
of the State, be cotton enough grown
to pay the taxes on the land.” —A S
l ant a Constitution.
Railraods and Judges. —There is
a terrible outcry because the farmers
of Illinois, who are fighting the rail
roads, made a stand and elected their
candidate in a judicial election. YY ell,
the railroads have been looking after
udiciai elections for a long time. A
great number of judges on the bench
; are owned by railroads. Hundreds are
' running up and down the country on
| free passes given *hem with the pure
ly business purpose of affecting their
decisions favorably to railroad inter
ests. YY T hy should not the farmers
| own a few judges ? There is not a
j railroad mail of large intelligence in
j the country who does not know that
; the great corporations have their rep
| resentatives in the lowest and highest
j caucuses, and as keen an eye on the
I election of judges as on that of mem
bers of Congress, and it is popular
knowledge that the Supreme Court of
1 the United States was, in the opinion
| of the Chief Justice himself, packed
in a railroad interest.— Cincinnatti

Railroad Accident. —Mr. Jos. G.
Sears, a freight conductor on the Ma

at Griffin yesterday morning while
coupling the cars. Mr. Sears was
caught between the break and car
wheels and dragged some distance.
He lived two or three hours after the
accident. Previous to the war he
was Supervisor under Col. Foreacre

From the Greensboro, (Ga.) Herald
Gordon and Longstreet.
The difference between a firm ad
herence to principle, and a blind obr
diem-e to policy, in its time serving
sense, ha - seldom been more forcibly
illustrated, than in the case ot these
two men.
Daring the war. they were both
shining lights in the galaxy of South
ern chivalry, and their names were
dear to both the soldiery and the peo
ple. When Longstreet tell at the
Wilderness, mortally wounded, as it
was supposed, a thrill of agojiy ran
through the whole army, and when
he returned every heart rejoiced in
the restoration of the veteran favorite.
]>ut the war closed, and we soon found
that Longstreet could fawn, and with
mean servility kiss the hand that smote
him. We do not think that it was his
intention to betray his country but
once led off by designing men, and the
Siren songs of policy, and induced as
he was, to commit himself to the re
construction programme, from winch
iiis advisors turned away as others have
done, as soon as they found that the
honest people could not be duped and
misled, we find him running into all
the excesses of his party —progressing
from bad to worse, until nothing is too
low for the once honored Longstreet.
lie has become a reproach to his peo
ple, who look upon him with unutter
able scorn—and even his Republican
friends, though cheerfully accepting
his degradation in their behalf, have
no respect or regard tor him, as is
1 always the case with traitors.
Turning with shame and sorrow
from this picture, we sen the noble
Gordon, in the darkest days of our
trial, as ever in the thickest ot the fight,
! resisting with cool courage and unfal
tering determination, both the threats
| of the oppresor and the allurements of
policy. And now that the trial has, in
a measure past, we see him reaping
the rewards of devotion to his people
and fidelity to truth. lie occupies
the highest place that his State can
bestow upon him—is honored and be
loved by every Southern heart, ad
mired by the whole country, and res
pected by oven his enemies.
What a contrast is presented bv
! the two pictures! And gladly do we
hold them up and point the youth of
the land to the lesson taught. “Thrift
may follow fawning” fora time, but
in the end disgrace and degradation
I will ensue, while honest principle,
bravely maintained, will qponer or la
ter bring a reward of honor.

BONUS TO BE ISSUED-BKIGIIT PROSPECTS.
We are glad to learn that Governor
Smith expresses himself satisfied with
the work on this road and that he will
sign and deliver the bonds due on the
first twenty miles.
! Mayor Mdihenny, Alderman Blanch
ard and President Mcßougald went up
to see him about this matter on Thnrss
day, and two first named returned
yesterday.
We trust, now, that there will be
no other delay to the forward move
ment of this enterprise, and that it
will be speedily pushed to sueiy a
point as will give to Columbus the
full benefits disked. Already it has
been of wonderful advantage to our
city, and opened new avenues to our
trade. This season, though in process
'of construction, it has brought to
Columbus 1,740 bales of cotton; nor
I would this have come by wagons any-
I wav', as some suppose. By compar
ing* the modes of receipts published
this morning in our commercial col
-1 umn, it will be noted that the wagon
7 , v-O
receipts ma'ntmn the same ratio this
as last year ; and most of this N. & S.
cotton is a clear gain.
The road has now twenty miles in
running order, and with the exception !
of three or four miles the entire line !
to La Grange has been graded and j
two miles and a half beyond that j
point The bridge over Mulberry
Creek has been completed and there
| is no obstacle to pushing the road to
Hamilton and La Grange. Now fliat
; the endorsement bonds have been se
cored, arrangements can easily be per
fected to purchase rails and another
j engine. In addition to the work men
tioned there arc sixteen miles graded
iat the Rome end. The company lias
never ceased work .entirely. Some
grading is still being effected above
La Grange.
j Between here and Hamilton the two
| highest grades are sixty-three feet to
! the mile. Pine Mountain is crossed
ion a grade of eighty feet. As soon as
' the mountain is crossed, or
ed, some magnificent valleys are
: opened up, and Columbus will secure
I the business of a rich and fertile sec
tion, which will greatly enhance her
pi osperitv, and give the people of
these valleys the advantages of the
; best cotton market in Georgia.
The objective point of the road is
Chattanooga. When reached and
the southern connection to the Gulf
| made, this will be the grand line be
tween the Gulf of Mexico and the
