Jeff Davis has accepted the invita tion of the Knox county Agricultu ral Association to address them at the Fair next month. The negroes—prisoners—engaged in the late difficulty in lower Geor gia came near making their escape from jail last week. Discovery was just made in time to prevent it. In Wisconsin, on the night of the 27th ult., by a severe frost a field of about 20,000 ocres of corn was so in jured, that it will about pay for cut ting it up for feed. The measles,which nearly destroy ed the Fiji Islanders, has broken out in the far northern region of Alaska. It confinesits ravages to the older cit zens. .The New York Sun consideres it an interesting fact that Boss Grant carries the resignation of Columbus Delano in his pocket, to be used whenever he wants. The latest tunnel proposition is that of the Strait of Gibraltar; the only trouble in the way is, “what good would it do!” “What traffic would it serve!” The long agony is at length set tled. Col. Candler, of Hall county, has contracted to put up a splendid residence in Gainesville,Ga.,for Gen. Jas. Longstreet. Mr. Matscll, Superintendant of the N. Y.

Y., whilst at West Point. The statement which we publish ed a week or so ago, to the effect that the Duke of Edingburgh, Victoria’s son, has ceeded his right of success ion to the Dnchy of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, is officially denied in Coburg. In the International Swimming match at Philadelphia on the 25th instant, Johnson the Englishman won the race—swimming the ten miles with ease. They are better on the swim than on the shot. The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion states that the charge on which Lieutenant Governor Davis, of that State, was arrested recently at Columbus, is bribery. The trial of Davis before a committing court will take place this week. Rabbits are said to be as destruc tive upon the wheat and barley crops in Nevada,as were the grasshoppers. The valleys are represented as being alive with them. After having des troyed the grain crops they turned their attention to the vegetables—eat ing the sweet potatoes etc. The negro Lieutenant Governor Davis, Who is Acting Governor of Mississippi during the absence of Ben Butler’s son-in-law, has waived examination and given bail in $7,000 to appear at the October court at Co lumbus, to answer the charge of bribery. Although the Mountain Meadow massacre of a whole caravan of emi grants bound to California has been fully proven to have been perpetrated by Mormons acting under the direct orders of Brigham Young,yet justice is now thwarted by Mormons who get on the juries and refuse to con vict any of their brethren. With respect to the sentence of Col. Baker for assault upon a lady in a railway carriage—imprison ment and fine—the London News ob serves: “Of course, to Col. Baker this means social and professional ruin. No one with the stigma of such a sentence upon him can con tinue to hold a commission in her Majesty’s service, or show himself among decent people.” That may be true enough in Old Lngland, but in New England he couldn t get a hall large enough to hold his tidmire’s,especially if he was a good pulpit mountebank. Racking Up the Insurrectionists. The Philadelphia American is the leading Radical paper of Philadel phia, and an especial organ of the Centennial Exposition, in support of which it calls upon the impoverish ed people of the South to contribute. The kindly feeling which its editors entertain towards the white people of Georgia may be judged from the following paragraph in reference to the late attempted negro insurrec tion. The American says: “The Georgia negro scare is about the most ridiculous attempt at an electioneering dodge we have seen for a long time. Itstead of Wash ington and Jefferson counties being near the South Carolina border, as the dispatches led the reader to infer, they are situated in the eastern mid dle of the State, in the cotton region, in the latitude of Macon, the whites numbering 11,787 in 1870 and the blacks 16,255, so that as the blacks were totally unarmed and the whites all armed and in posession of the State and local governments, the idea of an insurrection is a mere trick. Georgia has a very large ma jority of whites, and has lost her col ored population of late years through an exodus caused by the reactionary despotism. The present arrests are very likely to give anew impetus to the exodus.” The above is as illogical as it is malicious and false. Can anything be more preposterous than the idea of the white people of Georgia delib erately getting up a conflict with the negroes as an electioneering trick ? Besides the fact that there is no rea son to believe that such an expedient would serve the interests of the Dem ocracy as an “electioneering trick,” it would be a rather expensive ex periment just at this cotton picking season of the year, when all the available labor is needed to save the opening crop. The editor exhibits a characteristic recklessness of truth when the asserts that “the blacks were totally unarmed and the whites all armed.” A double falsehood; for neither are “the whites all arm ed” nor the “negroes wholly unarm ed.” His assertion that an exodus of negroes from Georgia has been caused by “reactionary despotism” is equally false. The negroes of Geor gia are as free, have as many privile ges, are as well paid, are as kindly treated in Georgia as they are in Pennsylvania or any other Northern State, and if left uninfluenced by the hypocritical professions and incendi ary teachings of just such mock phi lanthropists and sniveling dema gogues as the editor of the American , would be more contented as they are more prosperous in Georgia than they are in his own city of Brotherly Love. —Savannah News. Money must be scarce about La- Grange. We judge from the follow ing articles ciipped from the Re porter : “At the sale of article be longing to the estate of Dr. John S. Hill, the following prices obtained on sixty days’ time : Mules and horses SSO, oxen $2 each, cows and calves $3 to $3 25 each, buggy and harness $25, wheat 50cts. per bushel, horse collar $1 80.”*— Monroe Adv. In 1841 or 1842, while a resident of of Noxubee county, Miss., we wit nessed a Shireff’s sale of some thirty or forty slaves, the poorest one of whom was worth, according to the ruling prices for that species of prop erty, not less than S9OO. All but one of them brought prices ranging from $8 to sl4. That one was “run up” to about SIOO, when some person, who knew the nature of the sale, slipped up to the old gentleman who was ignorantly bidding on the likely negro woman, and told him that he was engaged in a useless matter ; that if he were to bid one thousand dollars, he could not get the woman. He then left the field. The amount of it was,that a “snap judgment”had been taken, and property levied up on and sold, which was bought in with the defendant’s money. The debt was due to a man who was not in the State, and advantage was taken of his absence; so that a debt of some $30,000 or $40,000, was settled with a few hundred, and yet every thing was done strictly according to law. Perhaps this sale of the estate of Dr. Hill was one of the same sort. Why Not? —We learn that the Mormon residents of Beaver, Utah, propose tendering John D. Lee— lately on trial for his share in the Mountain Meadow massacre—a grand reception and banquet as a testimonial of satisfaction and de light at “the great moral victory” achieved by the disagreement of the jury. Lee’s friend claim that as there were only three of the jury men in favor of the conviction, there fore, he is to all intents and purposes innocent, and is entitled to a public and triumphantvindication. lienee the reception and banquet. This, says the St. Louis Republican is just as it should be. It is a poor rule which will not hold good in Beaver as well as Brooklyn, and if Beecher is lion ized on account of a disagreement of his jury, why should not Lee’s jury do as much for him ? By all means “vindicate” the hero of Mountain Meadows. Let not Venus rob Mars of all his laurels. At a grand Democratic barbecue in Hinds county, Miss.,last week, five thousands persons yvero present, in cluding some five hundred colored men. The proceedings concluded with the trial of Gov. Ames, who was present in effigy,for treason,mur der, and other high crimes, a verdict of guilty being found and sentence of death imposed, commuted subse quently to banishment to Massachu setts. The whole number of locomotives in the world is estimated at 50,000 of which 15,000 are in the United States, and nearly 11,000 in Great Britain. The aggregate horse-power is estima ted at 10,000,000, and all the engines in use—locomotives, marine and sta tionary—are supposed to aggregate 14,000,000 hoise-powtr. Scribner's Journal for September says that “Beecher did not have fair play; we are inclined to believe he did not get justice.” That’sjust the opinion of a large mass of the peo ple. If he had gotten justice, he would have been mulcted in the damages that Tilton sued for, and been sent to the penitentiary for perjery. ... A young husband, who constantly grumbled and complained of his wife that he could get no coffee, food, nor anything else like his mother gave him, was cured ny her throw ing the contents of the table into his lap and slapping him oyer the head with the remark, “there’s a clip over the head for you, such as your moth er used to give you when you were a boy.” There was domestic peace in that house, ever after, and no more allusions to maternal cooking, or comforts of by-gone days. A great excitement has been got ton up among the negroes in the neighborhood of Nashville, Tenne ssee, relative to emigrating to Kan sas. Negroes have been made to be lieve, by interested parties, that the grasshopper state is a perfect Eldo rado, and are making great sacrifices to get them to find the same state of affairs as did the Georgia negroes who were pursuaded to emigrate to Mississippi and Louisiana last year. If they are willing to work, they will find Tennessee as good a state as any other. Dr. Leary, of latan, near Atchison, Kansas, who is spoken of as an ex cellent physician, and one highly esteemed, was so indiscreet a few days since as to go on a drunken spree. Recovering from his attack, he found that one of his patients had died while awaiting him. He was overcome with grief and remorse, and, after settling up his affairs, blew his brains out in his own house with a revolver. It is not likely that Dr. Leary’s example will be followed by other physicians who neglect their patients. The medical profession is not ready for its ow T n massacre just at present. The Virginia Negro Conven tion. —The late negro convention in Virginia, like the Georgia insurec tion, was an utter failure. The ob ject of the projectors of the conven tion was to fire up the colored men of Virginia, fill their heads and hearts with a w T oeful list of outrages, mad den them against the Conservatives, and use them to carry Virginia in the next Presidential campaign. The split at the start between the blacks and the mulatoes rather defeated anything of this kind. There are colored men in Virginia whose votes the Radicals can never again get, and there are others to be had by the side offering the most money. This is the colored drapery of the “party of progress” in the Old Dominion. Richmond Enquirer: The attempt of the Radical Outrage Press of the North to hold the Conservatives of Georgia responsible for the recent at tempted negro insurrection in that State, and to make it appear that it was gotton up by them for political efiect, is as as it was villian ous. The fact is it was an attempt on the part of Northern Radicalism to force a conflict, that the killing of a hundred or so of their black dupes, by the outraged white people, might be turned to account in the coming elections and serve to roll back the tide of reconciliation which is now setting in so steadily and threatens to overthrow them. Thank fortune, the prudence, calmness and good sense of the people and authorities of that State were equal to the emer gency. Hawkinsville Dispatch : A year or two ago, as well known, several hundred colored people left Pulaski and Houston counties for Arkansas. A prominent planter of the latter county lost by this emigration mov e ment nearly all the laborers on bis plantation. He regretted, most of all, the loss of a favorite hand, who couldn’t be persuaded or hired to re main. A few days ago he received a letter from this favorite freeu'man, stating that he was on his way b.ack from Arkansas to his old home, an and that all his eo-laborers were with him ; that they had reached Atlanta, and their money was exhausted. He requested his old “boss” to see the colored people in the neighborhood and raise a hundred and fifty dol lars and forward it to him by ex press, that he might be enabled to bring on his family and the balance of the party. The planter immedi ately went to work and raised one hundred dollars among the colored people-, and very willingly added the other fifty dollars from his own purse. He hastened to the express office to send off the money, but on arriving there he took another notion. He was so anxions to see his old colored friend from Arkansas and hear his tale of woe, that he (the planter) took the cars and went on to Atlanta to meet him. Imagine the planter’s surprise and mortification on reach ing Atlanta to find that tho letter had been written by “one-eyed” Jim Baskin, the notorious negro forger who was sent from Macon to the penitentiary chain-gang, some three or four months ago, for forging drafts and orders on planters of Houston county. PENNYROYAL AND POTASH. Scientific American. If mosquitoes or other bloodsuck ers infest our sleeping rooms at night, we uncork a bottle of the oil of pennyroyal, and these animals leave in great haste, nor will they return so long as the air in the room is loaded with the fumes of that ar omatic hero. If rats enter the cellar a little powdered potash, thrown in their holes or mixed with meal and scattered in their runways, never fails to drive them away. Cayenne pepper will keep the buttery and storeroom free from ants and' cock roaches. If a mouse makes an en trance into any part of your dwell ings, saturate a rag with Cayenne, in solution, and stuff it into the hole, which can then be repaired with ei ther wood or morter. No rat or mouse will eat that rag for the pur pose of opening communications with a depot of supplies. We are glad to learn that the ster ling N. Y. Tribune sent a reporter to Sandersville, Ga., to attend the trial of the conspirators now going on there. * A train of cars, from St. Paul to Chicago, went through a bridge four miles south of Chicago. The con ductor, engineer, and fireman were instantly killed, and several passen gers slightly hurt. A correspondent of the Cave Springs, Ga., Enterprise, in writing of the dam built across a stream near Cedartown, says the dam will last forever, because it is built with Howard’s cement. The Savannah News quotes, “Des potism tempered with assassina tion,” as the description given by Thomas Jefferson of Asiatic govern ment. This quotation cannot be .found in the writing of that most eminent American statesman. It w T as Voltaire who said, speaking of Russia. “It is an absolute monarchy limited by assassination.” The Savannah Advertiser of the Ist ult., tells us of another uprising in the lower Dart of Georgia. At Coch ran, Ga., a squad of negroes resisted a sheriff’s posse of Laurens county. The negroes would not listen to the reasoning of the sheriff and he went in reach of one of them to arrest him, when the negro placed his gun against the sheriff’s heart and burst ed two caps, which cost the negro' his life and that of one of his com rades and wounding of another. By 9 o’clock the negroes had massed in the vicinity, in arms, to the number of one hundred and npwards, mak ing considerable threats of what they intended to do that night. We hope, before we go to press to report the final issue of this affair. New Advertisements. BARTOW COUNTY SUKBIFF’S SALES.

We mentioned some time ago that a correspondent in Banks complain ed that the girls were “kicking” the young men,and he admonished them that they would be left out in the cold. A few days ago we received a reply from an indignant damsel, the substance of which we append : “The reason the boy3 are “kicked” says she, is because so many of them have “kicked” out of the plow hand les, laid by the shovels and the hoe and are trying to make inferior doc tors, lawyers, preachers and scho< 1 teachers, and others sit uyder shade trees in lordly style, squirt tobacco juice freely, but absolutely do noth ing useful. Go to work honestly, says this irate maiden, and you will not only have no cause to complain of being “kicked,” but may find worthy wives who will make you help meets for your benefit and who will seek to make you happy. While our fair correspondent’s ideas are no doubt very good in the main, we still persist in our original opinion that the Banks county boys are at least as good as the young men of other counties, and a great deal better than some of them. —Athens Watchman. The Tie-Backs. That airy, rapid young friend of ours, Grady, of the Herald , has been investigating the tie-backs, and the following in his conclusion '.—Rome Commercial. “We have thought of taking up our pen and opening a war upon the fashion, now prevalent, of pinning the dress back by such strenuons folds, as to disclose the outline of the wearer’s form. It has seemed to us that pudlic propriety demanded something of this sort. But when the field has been surveyed, and we have counted up the fruitless cru sade that journalists have made against prevailing follies of this kind, we shrink back appalled. Be sides, we get no sympathy from our masculine friends, when we proclaim the purpose of our onset. With a half-confessed love, the men love the pin-backs. There is a frankness and candor about the fashion that com mends it to masculine eyes. ‘lts a splendid fashion,’ remarked our friend John Average, as his eyes dwell upon the plump outlines of the lady in front of him. ‘lts be coming to every woman in the world —except two.’ ‘And who are they ?’ Oh, well—my wife and my sister, you know.’ ” An Imperial Gourment.—A writer says: Is it not singular that the imperious Ctesar should have been infected with the sensousness of his age, and proved himself an epi cure, albeit one of elegant and dainty manners. Curtius says of the Home of Ciesar’s day : “No sort of luxury flourished so much as the coarsest of all—the luxary of the table. The whole villa arrangements and the whole villa life had ultimate refer ence to dining. Not only was the cook a graduate in gastronomy, but the master himself often acted as the instructor of his cooks. The circum stance of the guest taking an emetic after a banquet to avoid the conse quences of the varied fare set before him no longer created surprise.” The same author has produced the bill of faro provided at a feast given by Mueius Lentulus Niger, at which Ciesar assisted. “Before the dinner proper came sea-hedghogs, fresh oys ters, (as many as the guests wished), large mussels, sphondili, field fares, with asparagus, fattened Cowls, oys ters anti mussel pasties, black and white sea-acorns, sphondili again, glycimarides. sea-nettles, becaficoe?, roe-ribs, boar’s ribs, fowls dressed with flour, beeaficoes, purple shell fish of two sorts. The dinner itself consisted of sow’s udder, boar’s head, fish-pasties, boar-pasties ducks, boil ed teals, hares, roasted fowls, starch pastry, Pontic pastry. RADICAL, ELECTIONEERING. Greenville, Miss., Times. Since our last, in which we alluded to Ham Carter having unset the lion. Rev. Gray in his sheriffalty aspirations, the A. It. G. has return ed, and has thrown himself into the fight in his usual style. He made a speech near Egg’s Point a few nights since, from which we may infer his usual range of argument. He in formed his auditors that he was bound to be sheriff; that Gov. Ames was going to send him a thousand stand of arms, and, if necessary to his election, his militia would kill everything with a white skin in the county ; and the question of “bond didn’t trouble him in the least.” MRS. LINCTON. Dr. A. K. Patterson, in charge of the asylum where Mrs. Lincton is con fined, writes to the Tribune denying the recent statement that he has given a certificate that she should be discharged. He did say that under certain circumstances it might be safe for her to visit her sister at Spring field, but she is at present more per turbed in mind than when he made the statement to her son. He denies the story of her being locked up. She receives visitors and has the use of a carriage to visit her friends in Bata via. When Andrew Johnson was Gov i ernor of Tennesee, an ex-blacksmith was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the Governor with his own hands made a vest for the Chief Justice, while the Chief Justice went to a forge and made a shovel and tongs to present to the Governor.— Chicago Tribune.
