A cocnanut exploded in Richmond the other day, one piece striking a youth nn>l slightly injuring him. Eight new iron furnaces are build ing on the line of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad. A woman, named Wade, shoes horses at Fort Scott, Kansas, while her hu«hnmt plays billiards around the corner. Plenty of rain all over the State, and with the warm weather the crops are growing fast. Be far prospects promising. A gentleman luring asked if his neighbor** dog was a hnntpr, said it was half hunter and half setter, that he hunted until he found a bone, and then he sat down to eat it. Mrs. Partington has been reading the health otiicers’ weekly reports, and thinks “total” must be an awful malignant disease, since as many die of it as all the rest put together. Daniel Pratt, the pioneer manufac turer of Alabama, died last week at his home in Prattville, which is four .. • ii miles from Montgomery. Mr. .1. T. Riviere, of Barnesville, lots a sow tat that nurses with care two little rabbits. She seems to think more of In r adopted than Iter legiti mate offspring. A party of geuUfmcn, during last we* k, caught with a seine at Dead !.■ m', 1 loi-ida, bfiow Dean’s, in Gads, i ii county, over four hundred perch bream and trout in one day. A Nashville young lady explains that she w rites to the man she likes best only once a day, and says she dot sn’t think that any too often, now that the days arc so long. She is will ing to admit, however, that it would be too frequent for the short days of winter. Western Chops. — Ah Louis, May •JO. The. Democrat, this morning, publishes u large batch of correspon dence, from alt parts of Missouri, Southern Illinois, Kansas and lowa, which predict large and excellent wheat crops, but short crops of oats and corn. President Grant will not make an appointment ol a successor to Chief j udice t base until next winter. It wi s not the intention ot Judge Chase to make ins circuit litis summer, and the President desires confirmation by the Beuate before the new Chief Jus tice is seated. Work has beed commenced on the western end of the Texas and Pacific Rahway. * Ground was formerly broken 'atßan Diego, Cal., on the 21st of April, amid much enthusiasm. The work will be completed in three years. This great trunk line will be the shortest route across the conti nent, and one wholly below the snow line. “A-ml enterprising soapmaker daub ed the rocks ail the way up the Hudson with theappeal, “Use Smiths’s soap;” whereupon his rival, the still more enterprising Jones, after much cogi tation. started his white-washer up the river to append to Mr. Smith’s appeals, “If you can’t get Jones.” A Miss Susan Grady, on Thursday last, at West Point, Ga., undertook to kindle a fire with kerosene, when the oil ignited in the can, causing an explosion and setting the clothing of the young girl on tire. She was hor ribly burned, and died from the ef fects in a few hours, in great agony. Philadelphia turns out more car pets per annum than all other parts of the United States and Great Brit ain combined. In the Nineteenth ward there are about two hundred and fifty manufactories. The num ber of looms now is estimated at 8,- (M). <)n an average 800,000 yards of carpet are turned out weekly. The number of yards made in a year is 41,600,000. Discovery of the Royal Assy rian LrmtATtv.—A New York Her ald special from London says George Smith, the Daily Telegraph’s corres pondent in Assyria, has found the King’s library at Nineveh, and dis covered numerous valuable frag ments, particularly missing portions of the broken tablet, containing a history of the deluge, hitherto deci phered in the British museum. FATAL FALL OF A PLATFORM. Shamoken, Pa., May 22.—While laying the corner stone of the new Catholic Church, the platform fell with one hundred people. Three are dead and-fifteen seriouly> and thirty five more or less hurt. Bishops Woods ahd O’Hara and twenty as sisting clergymen went down. They escaped vyith only slight injuries. It seems now that Stokes will be hanged. The Supreme Court has de nied his application for anew trial. He has, it is true, one more chance for life, however slim it may be con sidered— an application to the Court of Appeals, which sits in Albany, next month. Murderers have had so much immunity in New York, that with the present awakening of the public of their danger, it need hardly be feared that the murderer of Fisk will not get exact justice. Mr. Seth Green’s experiment' of transplanting shad from the Hudson river to Pacific waters has proved successful, and fish of the sort have been caught in the Bay of San Fran cisco fit for the table. In June, 1871, by order of the Fish Commissioners of California, Mr. Green took JO,OOO young shad from the Hudson and de posited them in the upper waters of the Sacramento. They spent the first year in the bay and river, and now, when coming in, are caught by the fishermen. They are the first , shad ever taken in California waters. Th<s census statistic arrange wo men’s occupations under seventy-two heads. Domestic servants head the list in point of numbers, and, strange to say, “labors on farms” come next. There are 07.000 seamstresses, 90,000 milliners and dressmakers, and 83- 000 teachers. There is a glorious army of 20,170 nurses. There are preachers, shoemakers, journalists, authors “mechanics not specified,” and only one hundred “show wo men,” ‘But who wouid dream of women “steam-boiler makers, five,” belt founders, four,” hunters and trappers, two?” Hostlers, charcoal burners and miners, also figure in the list. IiATHEIt ROUGH ON THE GRAND ARMY. J&ftpgiktt gets off ip Sunday morn ing’s Capital a good thing on the Grand Army bigots, who forbid any floral tributes on decoration day to the Confederate dead buried at Ar lington, by informing them of the unquestionable fact that fully twen ty-live per cent, of those who were buried there as Union soldiers, and destined to bo honored by the Grand Army fellows on the 30th iust., are deceased ex*Cou federate soldiers, whose bodies the contractors picked up and buried under their contract at so much per head. Dr. W. P. Harrtenn, fxvstir of the Ist Methodist Church at Atlanta, is now fit Nashville, ehgaged in a dis cuasion with otie Moses Hull, upon Spiritualism. The Doctor may, and doubtles tloos, think that, in this dis cussion be is doing God service, and benefiting the cause of religion; bm a little better reflection would, we imagine, have led him rather to at tend to the interest of his suffering charge in Atlanta, than to be running a tilt with this spiritualist blasphem er at Nashville. Sensible men are tired of the nonsense which the spir itualists have been so busily display ing in their lectures of late, and think it high time that they should no lon ger be dignified with the importance which the notice of prominent minis ters of religion have given them. Discussions with a “blaspheming Yankee, from Harriet Beecher’s home, spouting disgusting foolish ness before intelligent audiences” in the South, we hardly think compati ble with the position of the pastor of •one of the most important charges in the North Georgia Conference, and far less serviceable to the cause of Christ, than the preaching of the croks, and the faithful discharge of pastoral duties. It is to lie regretted that ever it was considered at all nec essary to enter into this doubtful course of religious, or rather wicked and sinful, discussion, and agree with a eotemporary, that’the Doctor “had better drop him and come home,” and further that “he would do well to stop right here.” Georgia has over 1,100 flouring and glint mills—daily capacity, 82,383 bushels, and employing 2,356 hands. Georgia manufactures over 4,000,- 000 lbs Factory yarn. Pennsylvania 4,610,486 lbs., and Rhode Island 6,- 165,602 lbs. Georgia cordage, lines and twine, 214,210 lbs. Thread, 421,416 lbs.— Ginghams and checks, 1,653,434 yds. Shirting, sheetings and twilled goods, 13,730,847 yds. The total value of cotton goods manufactured in 1870, $3,648,973. in Into the value of property in Bartow county was $3,804,998. In 1870 Bartow county’s population was divided as follows: Georgians, 12,871; S. Carolinians, 2,063; N. Car olinians, 622; Virginians, 279; Ala bamians, 162; Tennesseeans, 343; and 76 foreign born, as follows: British America, 3; England and Wales, 80; Ireland, 25; Scotland, 11; Germany, o. The last census report, .IS7O, gives Georgia 5 blast furnaces for manufac turing pig metal—capacity, 5 tons per day, employing 49 hands. $12.- 200 invested, using 2, 362 tons of ore. Three years only have elapsed, and now Bartow county alone lias 6 large pig iron furnaces, employing near 300 hands, and manufacturing at least »24 tons per clay, and a fair prospect for twice this number within the next year. The Bartow Furnaee Company will start an additional 25 ton furnace within two months. The Governors’ Convention assem bled in Atlanta on Tuesday last, and aside from some little attempt at ora tory, on the part of ambitious young delegates, was an assemblage of work ing rather than of speaking members. The main object of the Convention, to facilitate cheap transportation be tween the West and South, was kept •steadily in view, and to this end the Convention addressed all its efforts. The delegates, with the exception of one from lowa, another from Massa chusetts, and Gov. Hendricks, of In diana, were principally from the West and South, J’his bringing of these two sections into amicable converse upon an identity of interest, is likely to prove beneficial to both sections, and we trust will be the entering wedge to the destruction of the polit ical interests by which the people of the East and the North have hitherto managed to subsidize the former to their own pecuniary interests. The Convention, by their action, ask of Congress the endorsement of bonds in aid of this great Mississippi and Atlantic Canal, utterly refusing to re ceive favorably a proposition to give the control of the work to the Gov eminent of the United States upon condition of its constructing it. The controlling power of the Government was ignored by this action of the Convention, and the view T sofGov, Smith, as heretofore expressed in his letter of invitation to Western Gov ernors, substantially adopted by the report of the majority. DOES HANGING PREVENT MURDER ? The New York Sumprints a large catalogue of recent murders commit ted in despite of what it considers the recent stringent administration of capital punishment, and argues that the gallows lias no salutary effect in preventing murder. Perhaps so! We are not a very firm and well grounded advocate of capital punish ment. But let us consider on the other hand, that a reckless indiffer ence to human life has become a chronic disease all over the country, arid we cannot reasonably expect a euro by a little spasmodic treatment. The public demoralization must be counteracted by a long, steady, uni form course of legal administration in which every doubt shall be ex pelled finally that the legal penalty of murder will follow its commission with almost mathematical certainty. In the existing state of facts, we sup pose not one in five to ten cases of clear murder is punished by the hal ter any where in the country, and how then can it be said that hang ing is no remedy? Wait tiil it is fairly and fully tried and fails.—Ex change. Bahnum, it is said, has offered Capt. Jack twenty-five thousand dol lars to travel with him and be exhib ited. We hope the great Chief of the Modocs will not accept the tempting offer. If he does, we shall not ask to be dead headed to the great show when it visits Atlanta next fall.—At lanta &un. HYACINTH E. Geneava, May, 22.—Hyacinthein his sermons attacks the Confessional and Celibacy. He also urges the election of priests by the people and the use of the Bible in the national language. The University of Georgia has three hundred and twelve students in attendance. M. Thiers, President of the Repub lic of France, has yielded at last to the combined forces of the Legiti mist and Bonaparte factions in the Assembly, and resigned his position. Marshall McMahon, the favorite and protege of Louis Napoleon, was im mediately elected to fill his place, thus showing a decided preponder ance of public sentiment against the republican element, and possibly the still prevailing popularity of the Bo napartists, in that distracted yet powerful portion of the continent.— It is not to be presumed that Mar shal McMahon, a popular and able i General, who owes all his reputation 1 and advancement to the partiality and support of Louis Napoleon, and whose political prejudices it cannot i be concluded have been overcome by i the misfortunes of the late Revolu tion in France, will not use whatever influence he may with safety bring to bear, in favor of the Napoleonic Dynasty. The history of the revolu tion, so far, clearly showing the j weakness of the Republican party ! against the combined opposition of the Monarchists and the Bouapartists, the contest for supremacy in the fu i ture will be carried on by these two factions. It did not appear to us from the ; beginning of the present government ! that it was possible for it to obtain any thing more than a mere ephem eral existence. For, aside from the important facts, that every attempt in the past to create and perpetuate such a form of government in that country has ended disastrously, be cause not suited to the genius or pre vious history of that people, and the opposition of the monarchial and des potic governments of the continent, who are altogether averse to the es tablishment or existence of a repub lic, upon principles opposed to their form of government and the tenure by which they hold their power over their own people, we do not believe that any other than a strong govern ment, such only as au Emperor or a Monarch might head, would ever be sufficient to hold in check the irasci ble, versatile, mercurial Frenchman. Indeed, it may be seriously question ed whether any other kind of gov ernment is suited to, or can be main tained in any country where the pop ulation is dense, and the matter of bread is a question of prime consider ation. The very necessities of food and life would be productive of strife and contention \\ ithout regard to law, and nothing save the strong arm of military power, in the hands of one man, can preserve society and protect the people against themselves. Be this as it may, the final settle ment of affairs in France, we predict will find her under the dominion of a King or Emperor, with the full ac quiescence of her people, and wheth her ruler shall be Bourbon ot Bona parte, a near future will disclose.— For the present, the chances in this great game for the crown, seem to be in favor of the latter; for, since the re publican cannot obtain the ascenden cy of the Democracy, his favor would be bestowed upon, and his aid given to the Corsican, rather than to the ef fete and unpopular Bourbon Dynasty, which together would bo decisive of the contest. Marshall McMahon lias a difficult, and, it may be, a danger ous role to perform, but, in any event, we shall be prepared to see him east' the weight of iiis name and influence, and, if need be, of his sword, in the scale of the young heir of the throne of the last Emperor. Messrs. Editors: Cassville Street, from Dr. Best’s residence to Mr. J. J. Howard’s is in an awful fix. The side walks are washed over, washed away, gullied, and tetotally ruined for all walking purposes. The Street, in some places, Is quite as bad. Guilies washed through it, holes and hog wallows dug into it, and sand and mud drift, piled on it so badly, in one place, that vehicles of all kinds have to leave the street and go on the pri vate lots on the side. At this partic ular place no vehicle of any kind has ventured through the pile of mud, sand, brickbats, sticks, logs, Ac., for several months. Surely this would disgrace a common settlement road, much more a street in our townj whereon there is as much travel as any entrance to the town, on wliich heavy street taxes are imposed; more over, on this sireet live residents who pay as much, if not more, tax in to the city treasury than any street of the same length in town. What this street needs is work, prompt, sub stantial, and intelligent work, and it needs it right now. For the sake of dry feet and composed minds, call on our city government to try their hand immediately on the neglected, but importan t tfi oroughfare. Yours in trouble, 75. The ice cream festival, held by the ladies of the Methodist Benevolent Society of Cartersville, at the town Hall, on Tuesday evening, resulted in sixty debars cash, after paying all expenses, which sum lias been depos ited by them with Messrs Erwin, Stokely & Cos., to be contributed, to gether with such other monies as may be raised, towards the construction of a neat paling around the Mctho gist Church building in this city. The ladies of the Society beg leave to return tlieir thanks to all those kind citizens who so generously ex tended them their aid, and especially to Messrs. Hudgins, Bogle, and Grimes, whose very decided and ef ficient interest, so warmly and activ ly expressed, contributed largely to the success of the occasion. SOMETHING NEW.

President Grant has issued his fiat to the McEnery government of Lou isiana, bidding them to cease their contention and obey the Kellogg fac tion within twenty days, or take the consequences. * [communicated.] Bobrogersvilue, ) Bartow Cos., Ga., r May 28th, 1873. | Messrs. EdUon: I visited today the Iron Furnace of Rogers A Cos., arid af ter examining every thing as critical ly as I could, I interviewed Mr. Rob j ert L. Rogers, the originator and one | of the largest proprietors of the en i prise. The task was a difficult one, on account of Bob’s known modesty j and reticence, but 1 succeeded in | drawing out the following facts: During last summer, after the lay ing by of the crops, lie came to the ! conclusion that the management of a six hundred acre farm, and a set of lime kilns, a saw mill, railroad wood A water station, a water power for ginning cotton and grinding corn, two steam engines, and the general superintendence of the church in his neighborhood, and other things “too numerous to mention,” all did not keep him busy, and with a horror of idleness, he looked about for some thing to occupy his spare moments. The large amount of iron ore lying loose and useless upon the surface of his fields, attracted bis attention, and stimulated the idea of making the rubbish of some value. Before he went to work to build a furnace, he thought carefully on the subject, and, to use iiis own language, he “made pig iron in his head before he struck the first blow.” He commenced work on the first of September, 1872, and finished the structure in exactly two months. The sand stone was quarried from the same hill in which the furnace is "built, and 100,000 briek made and burned on the spot. The foundation of the furnace rests upon a solid limestone rock. It measures, at its base, 32 feet, 17 feet at the top, and is 35 feet high. The boshes are nine feet across. It is arch ed for three tuyeres, but only two are now used. The other.buildings are a large coal house, with a covered bridge leading to the top of the fur nace, an engine house, an iron house, a large stone building, stable and barn, anil ten houses tor operatives. The engine is 75 horse power, and was made at Champlain, N. Y. The two boilers are 40 feet long and 3 feet .in diameter. They were made at the People’s Works in Philadelphia— t hey are so fixed that one or both of them can be used for making steam. The heat is supplied by burning gas brought by a Hue from the top of the lurnace, and conducted under each boiler. Attached to the engine is a blowing cylinder, on an improved pattern, wliich genarates any quanti ty of blast. The greatest curiosity to me is a si phon, which, by some scientific prin ciple, draws water from a spring be low, aud elevates it 22 leet, and pours it, m a continuous stream, into a tank, from which it is carried by pipes to wherever it is needed. The two tuyeres are exposed to a heat which wouid melt them like lead, if they were not hollow, and have water pouring into and out of them unceas ingly. The whole apparatus for making the blast cost $7,801. The boilers, which were due in Jan uary, did not reach their destination unlit April, on account of an accident to the vessel. The delay was improv ed by getting everything ready, and procuring an abundant supply of ma terial. 35,000 bushels of coal and 600 tons of iron ore were hauled up ready for use, and arrangements made to add to it form 1,200 to 1,500 bushels ot coal per day. The ores are from different mines, and are of various qualities. They will all be tested, until the best and most profitable are discovered. The first run was made on the 13th of May, and yielded a little less than atom The increase from that time to this date, has been steady, and now they make three runs every 24 hours, and average about six tons.— They expect, in about three months time, to make from ten to twelve tons per day. The work goes on quietly and in order. No drinking of spirits, or swearing allowed there. The hands all know their duty, and as they are paid well, aud promptly, they work faithfully. Robert L. Rogers is the President, and to his untiring energy, bis un ceasing watchfulness, and great busi ness sense, the enterprise is indebted for its complete success. He planned and superintended ev erything, from the quarrying of the first rock, to the arranging and put ting into successful operation all the intricate machinery. Mathew Simpson, of Pennsylvania, is the general manager of the iron making department. He has made his present business a lifetime study, and is evidently master of the situa tion. There is no complication or entanglement connected with his bu siness that he is not able to unravel. He came South to personally inves tigate the feasibility of making iron here, and the safety to capital whilst so doing. He came prepared to meet with “treason, stratagem, and spoils,” as reported North by returned disap pointed adventurers, who, alter the war, flocked here like harpies, to banquet on the bleeding carcasses of the South. Men who came with empty pockets and brainless heads, to make a living without work, by politics and thieving. Mr. Simpson has been here nearly a year, and he confesses that he has never lived in a more quiet section of country; that he lias not seen even a list fight, or heard a quarrel, since he has been here, and as lie does not take any Northern papers, he does not evi n hear of robberies and mur ders. I told him, by way of explan ation, that this state of peace anil quiet was not general at the South.— That in every section where a good Democratic majority prevailed, lie would find good order, and the laws respected, becauce they were enforc ed. In those sections where there was a negro majority, it would always be manipulated by carpet baggers, and scalawags, and lawlessness, indolence, and idleness would prevail. Major Tom. Williams, of Atlanta, manages the coaling ground depart ment, with his usual energy and go aheadativeness. Mr. Willie Lumpkin has proved himself a very efficient book-keeper. Rogersville is on the Western & Atlanta Railroad., two miles above Cartersville. The clear and beauti ful waters of Nancy’s creek flow through its midst. The place is des tined to be the manufacturing town of Bartow County. Even now, in its infancy, two water wheels, and three stationary engines are doing good work. Soon as the rolling mill is fin ished, a cotton Factory will be erect ed, giving work to hundreds. Yet there will be no rivalry, between the two cities. Cartersville" with its Col leges. will be as renowned for its be ing the seat of learning, as Rogers ville, with its mills, lor being the home of industry. Nemo. MRS. A.

From the period when surgeons applied their salves to weapons instead of wounds to the present wide-awake age, the medical pro icobion lias often unwittingly taken side with | Disease in its conflicts with the human sys tem. Even yet, in spile of the teachings of centuries of experience, some physicians be lieve in depleting their patients, already se riously exhausted by sickness, with powerful evacuants, emetics, salivants, cautharidal planters, of the lancet. But, providentially, public intelligence is ahead of these medical fossils, who belong, of right, to the era of the Crusades! That powerful ally of nature in its warfare with the causes of sickness, Ilostet ter's Stomach Bitters, has opened the eyes of the masses to the paramount importance of increasing the vital strength of the body when menaced by disease. They understand that when the atmospheric conditions are adverse to health, it is wise to reinforce the system with a wholesome tonic and stimulant, and thus enable it to combat and repel the depress ing influence of an inclement temperature. It the constitutional and animal powers were always thus recruited in the presence of dan ger. the mortality from consumption, bron chitis, chronic rheumatism, Ac., would be much less than it now is. The causes which produces croups, colds, quinsey, diptheria and catarrh seldom effect a strong and active vital system ; and of all vitalizing preparations. Hostetter’s Bitters has proved the most cfli cient. It is not claimed that this standard tonic is a specific for lung and throat maladies as it is for dyspepsia, liver complaint and in termittent*, but it is unhesitatingly asserted that it is the best known safeguard against all tiie atmospheric elements of disease. The Charter Oak.—We liazud nothing, we think, in saying that, all in all, it has no equal.
