Dr. Reynols, of Powder Springs,
made a narrow escape, last week,
from death, or serious injury. His
horse backed his buggy off a bridge
on Nose creek and fell fifteen feet
into the water. The Doctor jumped
out before the buggy went off,and thus
saved himself. Strange to say neith
er horse nor buggy were injured.
Two counterfeiters of coin—Jack

their posesion. They confessed to be

With a most cadaverous counten
ance and crape on his hat he waited
at a Paris station for the coffin to be
lifted out of the train; but it was
lined with lead. And while the peo

wondered if it was his wife, his
mother or his father, the well inform

room, %vhere they opened the coffin
arid emptied it of its load of Brussels
lace.
Reverdy Johnson has written a
long letter to the New York Tribune
arguing the greenback unconstitu
tional, and urging a retnrn to a
“specie basis.” Mr. Johnson seems
to hold to the doctrine that green
backs are constitutional when people
are cutting each other’s throats, but
are highly unconstitutional when
ployment. Mr. Johnson, himself,
has a fixed income.
It is announced thai ex-Senator
Doolittle, of Wisconsin, has been
chosen to deliver the address at the
Winnebago County Fair in Illinois,
Hon. Jefferson Davis having declin

clamor against Mr. Davis really hate
Mr. Doolittle about as bad, butas he
was conspicuously “loyal” during
the war, they will have to swallow
their rage.
Thurlow Weed and family came
near being poisoned on Saturday
last. The copper tea kettle used for
boiling the water for tea and coffee,
had been scoured with oxalic acid,
which combined with the copper and
formed arseniate of copper. Weed
and his daughter with their servant,
made a narrow escape. Let this be a
warning to our readers. If they
wish to clean copper kettles do not
use oxalic acid.
While Mr. Pierrepont, the Attor
ney General, declares positively that
General Grant is not a candidate for
a third term and will not accept if
nominated, the Cincinnati Enquire)'
calls attention to the significant fact
that every Republican State Conven
tion in the Union has indorsed his
administration, and only one has de
clared that he should not be support
ed for the third term. Grant will be
forced upon the Republican Nomina
ting Convention by the money pow
and will be accepted by the party.
The National Banks have a capital
of $350,(XX),000. They have, as their
official reports show, loans to the
amount of $656,000,000. In other
words, they have assumed an indebt
edness three times as large as their
amount of promises to pay. There
is nothing said of this kind of infla
tion in the bond-holding National
Bank press. That is all right. They
have no fear of National Bank credit
carried to any extent. They are
only afraid of the securities of the
Government of the United States.
An inadequate currency leads to the
inflation of the credit system. With
one sufficient in volume we can do a

in favor of Hon. N. P. Banks, of
Massachusetts.for President,and Hon.
L. Q. C. La mar,of Mississippi for
Vice-President, in the next coming
Presidential campaign, the General
has written a reply in which he-says :
“I feel it my duty to say,that should
thofse gentlemen be the nominees of
the National Democratic Convention
for the high offices you desire them
to fill, it will give me pleasure to
vote for them, and in an humble
way to secure their election.”
Tlie Mormon Monstrosity.
The Mountain Meadows massacre,
in Utah Territory, ofa whole caravan
of emigrants bound for California,
was not only fully proven to have
been perpetrated by Mormons acting
under the direct orders of Brigham,
but one of his ex-wives, Ann Eliza
Young, traced the jewelry and also a
carriage taken from the emigrants to
his own family. The great massacre
would have remained a mystery had
not the division of spoils caused
m uch dissension among the Mormon
troops, who saw r that the leaders got
most of the plunder, and therefore
they told the whole affair. Mrs.
Young describes the massacre of an
entire band of Mormon seceders en
camped about thirty miles south of
Salt Lake City. As to the truth of
the reports about the numerous mur
ders perpetrated by the Danite bands
there is abundance of evidence. But
in not a single case has any one of
the murderers been brought to justice,
and the acts themselves have only
ceased because the rough mining
population has become more danger
ous to the Mormons than the latter
were to the Christian population.
Brigham Young seems to have been
the real organizer and head of the
Mormon terrorism. But justice is
now thwarted by Mormons who get
on the juries and refuse to convict
any of their brethren.
Mormonism had its origin in the
New England States, the original
prophet, Joe Smith, being, we be
lieve, a native of the State of Con
necticut. The Mormon Church, so
called, is a progressive, higherlaw
institution, the legitimate offspring
of licentiousness, infidelity and fan
aticism. For many years it has set
the laws of God and man at defiance,
fostered, if not actually protected by
the inexcusable forbearance of the
General Government. May we not
hope that the day is at hand when
this disgrace to American civiliza
tion will perish of its own rotten
ness.
Aum Sacra Fames.— The Black
llills correspondent of the New York
llerald charges that the tardiness
and uncertain tenor of Prof. Janney’s
official outgivings concerning the
gold prospects result from a superior
devotion to personal interests. In
other words, he is privately staking
out the biggest places for himself and
those in the ring. Meanwhile the
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times states that the Interi
or Department is in receipt of advi
ces from the Black Hills which rep
resent the Sioux as exceedingly inso
lent and threatening over the inva
sion of their reservation by miners.
They demand that the government

It has been given out quite gener

The new company say it is their in
tention to extend wires between all
the leading cities of the country, and
to make a reduction from the present
rates. The capital stock is said to be
$55,000,000, of which $7,500,000
has been subscribed and ten per
cent, paid in. The first board of di
rectors are reported to be wealthy
men, with an aggregate capital of
some forty millions. The tariff rates
of the new company are stated as
twenty-five cents per ten words with
in 250 miles, fifty cents within 500,
miles,seventy-five cents within 1,000,
and one dollar beyond. A system of
second-class rates is also proposed, at
a material reduction from those just
given. Work will soon begin at
Chicago, New York and Omaha,
and the new company will probably
be fully at work before another year
closes.
Much progress has been made in
the erection of the buildings for the
centennial exhibition at Philadelphia
next year. The eastern and western
sections of the main building, cover
ing 1,416 out of the entire 1,880 feet
occupied by that structure,have been
erected. Machinery Hall is sufficient
ly advanced to admit of the laying of
foundations for the 1,400-horse-pow
er engine which is to furnish the mo
tive power for this portion of the ex
hibitiont Horticultural Hall is well
advanced,and the materials for Agri
cultural Hall are in readiness to be
put together, as contracted for, by
the close of the year. The only im
portant building which is likely to be
behind time is the art gallery, which
is to be known as the Memorial Hall.
The delays in that structure have
been due to frequent changes of plan.
Dr. Harris, of Florida, a son-in-law
of Col. Mitchell, of Rome, has lately
been in the latter named city. He
informs the editor of the Commercial
that the summers there are as cool,
as pleasant and as healthy as they
are in this part of Georgia. Govern
ment land there—good land and
admirably suited for oranges—can be
had at from eighty cents to a dollar.

It was announced a short time ago
that the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany had given instructions that no
distinction should be made on ac
count of color in their sleeping cars.
Was this order intended only to ap
ply to the South and annoy the
Southern people ? The question is
asked because we see that a negro
school teacher of Mississippi has
brought suit against the Pullman
Company for refusing to let her
travel on one of their cars from Cin
cinnati to Washington—this refusal
indicating that the company exclude
negroes from their cars in the North,
but not in the South.
“The depth of the corruption that
has prevailed” and still prevails in
flic dominant party is shown in the
following little anecdote told by the
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazelle in connection with
the St. Louis whisky frauds:
“The impudence of these dishonest
officials would be very amusing were
it not so grave a matter. McDonald
called on a Treasury official who vis
ited St. Louis in May in connection
with the whisky investigation, and
advised him to arrange y. compro
mise for a good round sum. He said
that they (Joyce and McDonald) and
the Treasury Department could take
hold of politics and run things to
suit themselves. The distillers, he
said, would be generous with their
money, and the inference from his
conversation was that if Secretary
Bristow would not press them too
hard they would manage things in
his political interest. Of course,
these propositions were not listened
to for a moment, but they show the
depth of the corruption that has pre
vailed. McDonald seemed to think
that he was fully justified in what he
had done by the fact that he and his
friends had defeated the re-election
of Senator Schurz.
The Papal Tiara. —Of the mod
ern crowns of Continental Europe,
perhaps the most remarkable is the
well-known triple crown or Papal
tiara, or perhaps we should say tia
ras, for there are four of them. The
tiara is seldom worn by the Pope, it
is carried before him "in procession,
but, except on rare occasions, he
wears a mitre like an ordinary Bish
op. Of the existing tiaras the most
beautiful is that which was given by
Napoleon I. to Pius VII, in 1805. It
is said to be worth upward of £9,000.
Its three circlets are almost encrus

pearls and diamonds, and the great
emerald at its apex, said to be the
most beautiful in the world, is alone
valued at 16,000 francs.— Chambers ’

A SECOND HORROR GREATER THAN
THE FIRST.
Scenes Following the Cucnta Eai tliquakc.
The Tradicionisla, of Bogota, pub
lished an account of the destruction
of the city of Cucuta by an eye wit
ness, in whose narrative the follow
ing shocking incidents are described:
The day after this terrible scene,
people flocked in on all sides, armed
with implements for digging and
mules to carry the plunder away.
Merchants who attempted to find
and recover their safes had to pro
ceed revolver in hand. The pillage
of the ruins went on for five days,
during which time those bandits
sent away some fifty mule-loads of
the goods of the unfortunates that
lay buried under the ruins of what
had been the fine city of Cucuta in
the Republic of Colombia. The
streets and lanes among the ruins
were covered with all kinds of goods
and merchandise. In one place box
es of wine had been opened, the con
tents drunk and the bottles scatter
ed around; in other places, chandel
iers, silk trimmings, furs and furni
ture. In another were to be seen tins
of sardines, salmon, oysters, etc., all
in confusion and all more or less
covered with mud. In the midst of
all this there were some of the peo
ple of this unfortunate city, even
from the outset, setting off Chinese
crackers, drinking wine, surrounded
by dead bodies, and shouting out,
“Now the rich are poor, and the
poor are rich.” All this was accom
panied with the clamors of the liv
ing, the groans of the wounded
and the cries of those buried
alive who begged to be help
ed out from under the ruins
of their fallen houses. To the latter
these worse than savages turned a
deaf ear and would not cease their
pillage to save life. Some pious old
woman would come into view with
her lap full of stolen articles, mur
muring “ Quc desgracia tan grade
what a terrible misfortune,; and then
hastening home to count the beads of
her rosary and take an inventory of
the valuables that the grand '■'■desgra
cia" had placed iu her possession.
The whole scene smelt of the infer
nal regions, and seemed a foretaste
of the day of judgment. And so
passed several days; those who could
left, and those who could not did the
best that was possible under the cir
cumstances. The robbers demanded
to share the food of any one who
could procure it, as well as the mon
ey they could save. The very aid
sent to the unfortunate the robbers
managed to share, and little of it fell
to the lot of the really deserving. In
the midst of all this confusion, ter
ror, suffering and dispair, in no way
did the authorities come up to the
mark. The Chief of the National
Force stationed there abandoned his
post. The Columbian Guard, as it
was called, multinied , and after rob
bing what it could dissolved and de
serted. Even the Alcalde, whose
name deserves the fame of Judas,
took to flight and left the robbers
masters, of the lives and goods ol
their unfortunate fellow citizens. In
fine, says Mr. de la Rosa, Cucuta is
now only a name for a horrible heap
of ruins,' with its dead inhabitants
putrifying under them.
THE NEGRO’S FRIEND.
The fate of the Freedman\s Bank,
says the Savannah News did much
toward opening the eyes of the color
ed people. It convinced them that
the white Radicals, who pretended to
love them so dearly, only desired to
use them for their selfish purposes.
Almost every day we read some
account of the manner in which the
negro has been swindled by the carpet
bagger. A case has recently occurred
which should furnish another wam
bagger. In 11 i e last"Sl ate^canvasiTln
Alabama, Aleck White, and a man
calling himself Rev. J. T. Jemison,
and claiming to be a kinsman of the
Tuskaioosa Jemison, traveled and
spoke together in North Alabama
advocating the forte bill, civil rights,
and military rule. Hon. Burwell
Lewis exposed Jemison as an impos
ter, declaring that he knew all of the
Tuskaioosa Jemisons, and that this
dirty tool of White was not a mem
ber of that family. Jemison after
ward went to Huntsville, and acted
ns an agent for the negro emmigra
tion to Mississippi. He succeeded in
deluding many negroes into selling
out homes and starting for Missisip
pi. He very kindly sold their stock
and effects at auction, shipped the
negroes to Corinth, and furnished
them with, bogus transportation pa
pers to reach the interior of Mississip
pi. He disappeared, and the poor
negroes were left in a starving con
dition at Corinth, unable to go for
ward or return to their old homes.
This friend of Hon. Aleck White is
now in jail.— News Messenger.
A NEW PARTY.
The initiative step to'forming what
is designated as the National Union
party, with Gen. N. P. Banks for
the Presidential candidate, and pos
sibly L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi,
as Vice-President, was taken in Bos
ton on the 21st inst. A State Central
Committee was formed, and a plat
form and resolutions adopted. No
prominent men in either party took
part in the proceeding. The resolu
tions pronounce the Republican and
Democratic parties partisan organi
zations and dangerous, and call for
anew party ol peace. They further
condemn the enormoas frauds on the
government, dishonest public offi
cials, great monopolies and tforpora
tions tending to oppress the people.
Sudden inflation or contracting the
currency was declared dangerous,and
the only way to specie resumption is
to make the promise of the nation as
valuable as private.notes No encour
agement should be given to sectional
enmity. General Banks was not pres
ent, but in a letter he stated that he
was not a candidate for President,
and did not desire his name to stand
in the way of that governmental re
from which four-fifths of the people
demand. —Boston JPaaper.

Augusta, Aug. 23.—Several of the
prominent negroes connected with
the troubles in counties below here
have made confessions. JakeMoore

company, testifies on oath that nine
teen counties were to be embraced in
the insurrection. Last Friday was
appointed for the uprising. All
white men and ugly white women
were to be killed ; pretty white wo
men were to be spared and land and
spoils were to be divided among the
negroes. All who have so far" con
fessed, testify substantially to the
same as Lake Mooreman. Gov.
Smith arrived here this afternoon
from Waynesboro. He is determin
ed to preserve the peace, enforce the
laws and do justice to whites and
blacks.

The losses sustained by the South
in the civil war are estimated by a

property, which amounted to $2,400,-
000,000, making a total of $3,684,000,-
000. But this is below the mark, for
the correspondent estimates that had
not the war occurred the wealth of
the South, taking the ratio of the de
cade ending 1860 as a test, would in
1870 have reached $15,381,000,000, in
stead of which it fell to oniy $5,402,-.

Sandersville Herald'. One of the
most successful planters in Georgia
gave us, some time since, the secret
of his'always having a smoke house
well stored with good bacon. Said
he, “A few years back 1 found in
the spring that my stock of hogs
would be insufficient for my next
year’s supply of bacon. Early in the
season 1 planted an acre* of good,
productive land in speckle peas.
These I cultivated well, and as soon
as the peas began to harden I turned
my hogs upon them for an hour orsu
milfrove as Hurt in my life. This pea
patch, together with the pasture af
ter my oat crop had been harvested,
lasted until I could open a field
where the corn had been gathered.
After my pastures, peas, potatoes,
etc., had been eaten out, I put my
fattening bogs upon corn for a short
time. The result was, that instead
of being as I feared in the spring,
short of meat for one year , I made an
abundance of excellent bacon for
three years, and better meat 1 never
raised in my life. I have now in
creased my pea patch as you see,
(pointing out the patch of luxurant
peas upon which his hogs were then
feasting,) and 1 find it pays wonder
fully.” When bacon can be raised
so easily and at so little cost, is it not
strange that so many smoke houses
upon the farms of Georgia are empty
one-half the year ?
Clov. Ames of Mississippi, is miss

abouts which has appeared lately
is this m the Columbus (Miss.) Ledg
er : “The chief executive of the State

homo, leaving our lives in the hands
of a negro who lias repeatedly viola
ted his oath of office, and, to make
a few dollars to spend in drunken
orgies, opens the prison doors of rob
bers, outlaws, and murderers, thus
making justice a miserable farce.”
