Probably one of the greatest curses which ever afflicted a people or country is the system (.now so universally practiced in the South) of general and promiscuous credit The ruinous and irrepa rable evils of such a system are patent to every one; and yet, aueb U the perveisity of human nature, and so gTeat and uncontrollable the dis position of moat men to avoid to-day whrt they iooHably imagine they can as well do to-morrow, that the credit system flourishes apace in Georgia to-day, while the only true and legitimate basis of business—to-wit: to buy and sell for cash alone — it practiced spasmodically or not at all, with the occasional exception of a man. who not only un derstands the trne principles of financial success, bulbs* the stability to conduct his business upon the true and only principles of success. The cash system is better for all parties con cerned. It l* better for the merchant, because it obviates the risk and unavoidable loss which every man doing a credit business must suffer, no matter bow carefol and shrewd he is; it furnishes him with ready money to buy his stock, and he can therefore buy lower and sell cheaper than bis competitor who sells on time; and the services of a book-keeper and collecting agent are not required. This system is better for the purchaser, because he can buy his goods cheaper. Money being worth twenty-five per cent, it follows indisputa bly that a merchant an afford to sell for seventy five cents in cash an article for which he would charge one dollar on time. There are many other reasons why the credit system should be abol ished, prominently among them is this: If a pur chaser is compelled to pay cash for everything he buys, he will only buy what he needs; whereas, if he has an “account” at a store, he will pur chase any article attracting the lancv, saying airi ly, as he walks out, “ Charge it.” The end of the year comes, his account is just double what he thought it to be—he is unable to pay it—gives his promise to pay, and in very many cases thinks more about avoiding the payment of the debt, by exemptions or otherwise, than ot the manner and time when he shall liquidate it. Cooleba. —Many misstatements, sensational newspaper reports and overdrawn pictures from the excited brains of unreliable contributors, have been scattered broadcast over the country in reference to the ravages of the cholera in Nash ville, Memphis, and other places in Tennessee and Kentucky. From these startling reports the peo ple of the United States have become much alarmed, from which much damage has resulted. We regret that this unusually severe visitation should have fallen upon the citizens of Nashville and other places. But we insist that extravagant rumors should have been suppressed, and the facta, as near aa possible, given to the public. From the roost reliable information that we can gather, Nashville has lost about six huadred ot her citizens In about four weeks. The number of deaths occurring in Memphis will probably uot average fllteen per day. Other localities have suf fered, but there is uo comparison with those mentioned above. Rumors have been circulated that this terrible disease had made its appearance in Atlanta, giv ing alarm to the country contiguous to, and con nected immediately by rail with, that city; and yet when the facts are disclosed, it proves untrue. We would advise our people not to be excited, as doubtless fright has as much to do with the kill ing as the disease itself. Thh Mubray County Eldorado.— The Atlanta Herald has this to say about the silver mines of Murray county: Our 6tory of the silver mine in Murray couuty was not at all too strongly drawn; indeed it is more than borne out by the facts. On yesterday we met Judge MeCutcben and Col. McCamy, on the street, and at once tackled them on the “prevailing subject.” In respone to a stirring Inquiry, we learned from them the fol lowing facts: The Indian is a wizzird, “wander ing Jew” sort of fellow, as McCamy graphically says, about eighty years of age, and is named Jimmy Foreman. He says he is a member of the Council of the Cherokee Nation, and that at a meeting of the Council it was decided that he should come back and lay open the silver trunk. As soon as he came he went to a Mr. Gibbs, who, it 6eemed, had done him seme kindness, and be tween whom and liimseT there was an under standing of some sort. lie told Gibbs tnat be wanted to show him these mines. Gibbs then told him that he had two friends and partners, Vorn berg and Hony. The Indian said: If he liked their looks he would take them aloDg also. As they came up to Jimmy’s standard, the tour pro ceeded through a tortuous route, which McCamy described luminously as “round oy old man Har rall’s house, just across Sproggin’s branch, beyond Jones’ coin field, to Bmith’s gin bouse,*',etc., fill be came to a trail path leading off into the woods. This the Indian struck into boldly, and followed it until it ended ; be then sat down, and asked bis friends if they had any suspicion that he was fool ing them. They replying in the negative, he pushed on into the depth of the woods for some half a mile, saying “though I haven’t beeu here for forty years, I remember it exactly.” After a while reaching a certain spot in the wood, he told his friends to dig a little ways into the ground, and they would find the shaft and some old tools. They scrambled in right lively and found it pre cisely as he had said. He then showed them cer tain marks on the surrounding trees, by which they could find the place again then withdrew them, saying that on the next day he would show them another and a better one. The land on which the mine lies belongs to Gibbs, Yonberg & Hany, and was bought under the impression that it had these very mines on it: and they bad fre quently looked for them before. It was bonght from the Edmondson esta'e at Sheriff sale, and it is possible that in view of the increased value there will be a lawsuit over it. Gibbs and his partners won’t tell where the mine is, and they are hur rying up preparations to work it, and also the the other mine he has promised to show them. There is no possible doubt but what the Indian has showed these gentlemen mines that his tribe worked when they were here, and hid carefully when they left. There is no doubt but what he came here for the express purpose of doing this thing. He is an old man; it is a tiresome and ex pensive journey; he paid his own way, and won’t accept any pay. He is going back in just three weeks from the day he got here, and has no other possible object in making the tiip. Messrs. Har lia <fc Mclntyre, just to try him, offered him SSOO if he would ahow them the mines. He relnsed the offer point blank, saying that the Council told him to accept no pay for what he did. Altogether, It is a very curious case, and Judge McCuteben and Col. McCamy tell us, is exciting a great deal of attention. A Fatal Duel.—The following report is given of the duel fought on the first, by R. B. Rhett and Judge Cooly ot New Orleans: “In the Rhett and Cooley duel Judge Cooley was killed at the second fire. The parties arrived at this place on the same train at 10 o’clock this morning. Mr. Rhett was accompanied by Messrs. Charles Roman and Dr. Bums. Judge Cooley was attended by Colonel George W. Carter and Major Mcßae. The weapons were double bar relled shot guns, one barrel loaded with a single ball. The distance was forty yards. The ground was promptly chosen, the distance measured and the parties placed in position. “ At the first fire Rhett’s shot ranged high and Cooley’s to the right Cooley delivered his shot first At the second fire both fired simultaneous ly and Cooley iell mortally wounded by a shot entering his left side and passing apparently through his heart He expired in six minutes without apparent euQering, only speaking the words to Holliday; “ i am shot thbocgh the breast.” “The gentlemen engaged exchanged the usual civilities after the second fire, and separated with the expression of mental respect and considers tion. “The difficulty grew oat of an article published iu the Picayune, and a reply Ircm Judge Cooley, published \m the Times of the 37th. Col Rhett waa not touched. It is understood that Rhett was the challenged party. Thaeiik— Hon. E. W. Beck will |accept onr tiMßkfi loc nluoWe Public humans. Jeff Davis in St Lotus —The St Louis Dem ociat Las this to fey . bout th- rbeve ran ed great and good nun : Jefferson Davis arrived in this city cn Saturday lasi, and received many calls at the Planters’ House yesterday from friends who Lad known him sicially nearly forty years ago, as well as from those who had me.de his political and military ac quaintance during the pa-:t twelve years. This is, we believe, the third vUit of the ex Confederate chieftain to this city. He was here in 1828, just after his graduation at West Point, we suppose; and again in 1835, when he was stationed at Jeffer son Bi'ncks as one of the subordinate officers of that post. The latter year was also that of his resignation is aa officer and of his marriage with the daughter o.' Gen. Taylor. He then settled upon a Mississippi plantation, and ten years later en tered Congress as one of the members from that State; but his military ardor revived with the de cl nation of war against Mexico, and be was roou in the field again. His Bner.a Vista laurels made him S-:.ator from Mississippi, and afterward Secretary o: War under Pierce. The rest of his life is well known to the world, interwoven as it Las been with the greatest events of modern history. Mi. Davis is now in his sixty-:-ix:h year. Eis appearance is not that of a man wao had slowly ripened into the matu rity of ag**, bat rather, of one whom the last de eade had preciptated into a degree of infirmity against which his constitution ought to have been proof. He looks at least twenty years older than the man who was sent to Fortress Monroe in 1865 —perhaps that much older than the man who was nleased from there two years later. Since then his eyes have sunk, though without losing much oi their luster; and his chetks have ehriveled into hollows, which are poorly concealed by a straggling gray beard. AH that once stamped his features as these of a man o‘ great intellect and strong will has disappeared, and to the casual observer of to-day he might pas3 for a retired physic’aa or a superanuated lawyer. His manners are genial aud pleasant, aud although he studiedly abstains from political discussions, the* warm places of his heart are still reserved tor those who were associated with him in the Lost Cause— always excepting the man who first chrystalized these words into a book title; lor we shall have to go beyond the confines of this world to find a more cordial hatred than that oi Davis for Pollard and Pollard for Davis. How General Gordon Saved General Sher idan’s Life.— ln Georgia I heard an incident in connection with Lieutenant General Sheridan, which Little Phil, will read with some surprise, and lay down the paper wilh some grateful feel ings toward the gallant soldier who saved his life. The night previous to the surrender of Lee at Ap pomattox, General John B. Gordon, who com manded Stonewall Jackson’s old co:ps, General Fitz Hugh Lee commanding the cavalry, and Gen eral Longstrcet held a consultation with General R. E. Lee. At this consultation it was agreed that General Gordon should try the Federal strength on the following day. Sheridan in command opposite Gordon. In accordance with the programme, Gordon made his demonstration the next day and was met by Sheridan’s cavalry, which he gallantly repulsed, but finding Sheridan well supported by large numbers of infantry fell back and sent intelligence to General R. E. Lee. Upon its receipt General Lee ordered the firing to cease, and displayed a white flag, under wnieh the surrender was subsequently made. During the cessation of hostilities, and while Generals Grant and Lee were in consultation, General Sher idan, with a large retinue of officers tind men— about one hundred in all—was seen approaching General Gordon’s lines. Of course this cavalcade, as it came dashing across the plain, challenged the attention ot Gordon’s entire force. ChaneiDg to turn his head, General Gordon saw a long, lank Mississippian within a few yards ot him, de liberately training hia cocked rifle on the ap proaching horseman. Gordon dashed at the marksman and rode him down, with an exclama tion rather emphatic than refined: “ What do you mean, sir?” thundered the, irate Gordon; “don’t you know firing has ceased by my orders?” “I know, Gineral,” replied Mississippi, as he gath ered himselt up; “but I thought it were a ridg ment acomin again us, aud I jist Bighted that short-legged feller thar, and it you hadn’t come up I’d a fetched him from whar he sot, and he’s been a powerful heap of good to the Yanke.” That man was one of the best shots in the divis ion, and never failed to kill his object when de liberate aim was had. Gordon turned to meet Sheridan, aud Buchanan Read’s hero has never kuown how bis lifj came to goiug ont with the rebellion. General Gordon is now United States Senator from Georgia.— Ex. Gen. Ewing and Unlimited Greenbacks.- The Chicago Tribune has the loliowing comment on Gen. Ewing and his unlimited greenbacks, by which he hopes to ride into the Gubernatorial chair ot Ohio: “ There is to be a Governor elected in Ohio in October next, and Gen. Thomas Ewing, at pres ent a member ot the State Constitutional Conven tion, is b.dding for the Democratic nomination with every prospect ot success. He has lately, in a prepared speech, presented the pol cy of an un limited issue of greenbacks as the sovereign rem edy for hard times, and for all manner of impe cuniosity—to make money so plenty that every body’s hands will be full of it, and, by making it a drug, to reduce the rate of interest to a nominal sum. This is not anew proposition by no means. It was suggested a number of years ago by Mr. Pendleton of Ohio, who has lived to regret it; It has been taken up from lime to time by Butler and other persons, violently advocated for a while, aud then abandoned. It is not new with Mr. Ew ing himself. He made it a special hobby before the people of Ohio lour years ago, but tt did not take very well. We do not think that time has commended it to the intelligent judgment of any portion of the people. A year ago it was for mally repudiated in the platform of all politic! j parties, and, until Mr. Ewing recently revived it, was considered one of the visionary schemes that had lived its brief day and waa then laid aside for ever. “ Mr. Ewing, however, ha 9 for a long time been ambitious to be Governor of Ohio, aud he seems to have faith in this greenback proposition as a sort of patent contrivance that wiil in some unex pected moment lift him into the Executive chair. The general idea of an unlimited and irredeemable currency is much older than Mr. Pendleton or Mr. Ewing. It dates back to a very remote time. There is hardly a nation of Europe that has not undertaken to make money plenty by issuing a debased coinage and making it a legal tender at its statutory value. Great Britain tried it more than once; and the Ministry that made two shil lings out of one were somewhat surprised to find that the two new shillings would purchase the precise amount of commodities that the one old shilling would buy, and no mere. France, Spain Italy, Russia and Turkey have run the entire ga mut of debased coinage. IssuiDg paperpromises lo-pay and calling them money is but another and form ot debasing the coinage. No statute can compel a man to exchange his labor or his property for paper money except at his own price. A greenback can have no value except wnat it will purchase, though it may be called a dollar or ten dollars. We have bad a striking instance of this in the fact that the greenbacks issued and made a legal tender curing the war have not, alter eight years of peace and comparative National prosperity, obtained a higher value than eighty-six Cents on the dollar, and that too, under a legal stipulation that the amount issued shall not be increased.” A Vert Proper Resulction.—Advices from the leaders of the McEnry or People’s party in Louisians that if there is to be anew election in tbatjStale, they desire it to be exclusively un der the control of the Federal Government, and assert that if Gov. Kellogg aud his associates are allowed in any way to control, or even intermed dle with it, the friendsof McEnry and opponents ot Kellogg will have nothiug to do with the elec tion. This resolution, on tne part of the wrong ed and outraged people cf Louisiana, is one that all just men of whatever party, will justify and applaud. DeKalb county has organized her first grange. A Bloody Fiout —W*e clip the following re count of a p stol fight between Bradford Ray and B. H. Bailey, which occurred in Alapaha, io Ber rien county, cn the 2!st sf June, from the Albany News: “ The meeting of the parties here, I am informed was a premeditated arrangement. Soon after their arrival in town, Baily got considerably under the influence of liquor, and fuel was added to the al ready kindled flame—the long pect-up passions were soon to leap btvend their bounds. But through the influence of friends they were kept apart. Baily, with pistol in band, walked away, telling Ray, (who was then making desperate ef forts to follow him) cot to loliew him, if he did that he would hurt him. Alter Baily got away all became quiet, until about fonr o’clock in the evening, when ths parties met again in front of Mr. Bormird’s store, where the fatal difficulty was renewed with the addition of another party, James Brogden, who was very drunk. Had it not been for Brogden I am confident that the af fair would have passed off without the loss of life. He approached R iy with abusive language, which caused several blows to be passed between them. Seeing that Brogden, who was very drunk, was getting the worst el it, he was parted from Ray several times bat could not be controlled. While this was going on, words were passing between Ray and Br.ilev, who were in ten leet of each other and as they were about to get togc-ther, Daniel Turner came up and tried to quiet the fuss; but by this time the row became general. Ray hid his knife drawn and Briley liispLtol. Baily told Ray that “ if he approached him he would shoot him.” Dauiul Turner spoke and said, (I did not learn what he said only from Baily niter .the fight was over) “If you shoot Ray I will shoct you!” As soon as these words were spoken, Bailey fired at Ray, the ball entering the stomach, then turned upon Turner, fired the second shot, which was immediately returned. Baily then fired the tnird shot at Ray, inflicting a painful wound in his left him. Ray was at this time retiring from the scene of action. The balance of the shooting took place between Turner and Baily—fortunately neither was hit. The pistols being emptied, all became quiet, and attention was turned to Ray, who was considered mortally wounded. Baily was arrested by a bßiliffand turned over to Sheriff Mathews, (who was absent from town at the time of the difficulty) and held in custody until Monday morn ing, when he gave bond ; but as F.ay daily grew worse, Baily’s bondsmen became uneasy, and on Friday, 27ih, he was lodged in Nashville jail to await his trial at the next term of the Superior Court, for the murder of a fellow-being. “Ray lived until Sunday morning, 1 o’clock, 29tb, ult., when the spirit of the unfortunate man passed away.
