JatohmsbHU §ispatf|r. By George P* Wood*. HAWHINSVILLE, GA, JUNE 8, 1871 Short Edition. —Wcare compelled thia week to print a smaller number of papers *h»n usual, in consequence of the delay in shipment of paper. If any foil to get their papers, their neighbors can tell them the reason. We cannot help it. Ewotmid. —We learn from the Telegraph that the City Council of Maoon, through their attorney, A. O. Bacon, and sundry stockholders of tike Macon and Western Railroad, by their attorney*. Niabet & Jackson and Whittle k Qustin, have filed a tpll of injunction against the lease of the Macon and Western Railroad, which Judge Cole, at Chambers, has sanctioned. Scott Re-Elected. —At the elec tion last Wednesday Captain Dunlap Scott was elected by a large majority to fill the vacancy caused by the death of H. A. Gartrell, Representa tive elect from Eloyd county. A Bankbcpt No Right to Fee ..'outran. —Anew and important question in bankruptcy has arisen in the United States District Court of New York. It has been found that in a majority of instances no account has been rendered of the sums paid by bankrupts to their lawyers; and as mil the assets of a bankrupt be long to his creditors, it is claimed that a bankrupt has no right to fee counsel with any of the proceeds of Us estate, and that counsel, in re ceiving such a fee, take the place of debtors and may be sued. The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the Assistant Treasurer at New York to sell two millions of gold on the first and third Thursdays and one million on the second, fourth and fifth Thursdays of June, or seven millions in all, and to purchase one million of bonds on each Wednesday of June, or four millions in all. The Macen Telegraph. says the prospects of the projected railroad tirom that city to Knoxville are bc ooming much brighter, that the inter «st in its construction is increasing rapidly, and that the people all along the propsed line are giving substan tial proofs of their desire to advance the enterprise by large subscriptions of money and donations of land. ■ Dr. Sam Bard has resumed publi oation of the Daily True Georgian, and it will hereafter be published as an evening paper. We wish it success. The Atlanta New Era says it is ru mored that the Episcopalians are about to erect a cathedral in that city at a cost of $60,000, with a residence tot tiie Bishop. Roswell, Georgia, has now one cotton factory in operation, running 9,000 spindles, and consuming eight bales of cotton each day. And has another factory about completed, which will run the same number of spindles. It will be remembered that this town and all of its interests were entirely destroyed during the late war. Thr W heat Caor.—The Atlanta Now Era states that old formers from several counties adjacent to that city, give quite favorable reports of the wheat crop, whieh will make a very tolerable yield despite currrent statements. Mrs. Stella Swanson Turk, wife of Cspt Robert E. Park, Principal of the LaGrangc High School, died last Tuesday, in her nineteenth year. Rev. A. O Stanley, of the Episco pal Church at LaGrange, has re ceived a call to the Diocese of Ten nessee. The Reports of the R. G. W. Sec retary show the total number of Good Templar Lodges in North America to be 6,500, with a member ship of 400,000. A few Kentuckians who followed the brave and gallant Gen. John H. Morgan through his campaigns for Southern independence, have de termined to erect a ten thousand dollars monument to his memory. CoL D. H. Smith, of Frankfort, Ky., Is to manage the business. Mr. Sidney S. Cosby, an old citizen of Putman county, died last Mon a»y- The death of Mrs Macon Warthen, a beautiftil and accomplished lady of Washington county, is announced. JRev. W. Watkins Bloks. This able Divine of the Methodist Church, whom our readerewill remem ber as having a few weeks ago de livered his lecture on General Lee, at the Methodist Church in this place, has written a three-column letter in reply to certain strictures from the pen of General D. H. Hill, late of the' Confederate army. Mr. Hicks gives an elaborate explanation of his past life, which is quite a condensed auto biography of itself. His has been a most eventful life, checkered with numerous incidents of an exceedingly interesting character—facts and inci- dents which, had they never been re vealed to the Southern people, might have left the subject of thia sketch in fuller possesion of the exalted opin ions of the Southern people. The enviable manner in which he was so rapidly ascending to public estima tion renders it unfortunate for llev. Mr. liicks that he should deem it necessary to appear in the newspapers with his past career and antecedents. But the source from which his record was assailed compelled him to resort to the papers for self-vindication. It was his only alternative. Another Religious Enterprise. We have received the prospectus of anew religious publication soon to be commenced in the city of Macon by Dr. L. F. W. Andrews, whom many of our readers will probably remember as the editor of the Macon Weekly Citizen, published prior to the war, and afterwards revived as a daily. Dr. Andrews is widely known as an advocate or preacher of Univcsal isni—a religion that some people say is very good to live by, bnt utterly foils when Death malms his summons. However, we believe in free discus sion ofrtligiousas well as political prin ciples, and therefore concede to the Doctor and his adherents the right to work out their own salvation in any manner they choose. Amcri* can soil was sought as a refuge for free thought and free speech, and such immunities are tho guaranteed rights of American citizens. The following principles and ideas are enunciated in the prospectus: A'ncw Religious Journal, bearing the title of the Christian Crucible, devoted to the support and defence of the Bible Doctrine of the “ Final Holiness and Happinss of all Men” as under stood and expounded by Hosea Bal lou, will be commenced by the under signed, at Macon, Ga., early in July next, according to the following pro gramme : Free Thought, Free Discssion and Rational Exposition. The Fatherhood of God and Broth erhood of man. Faith, Hope and Charity. God the “Saviof of all men, especially of them who believe.” The Test of all creeds and doc trines in the Crucible of truth and by the Fire of Divine Love. The trial of spirits in flesh, accord ing to their deeds, and exposure of all errors which make against the free course and perfect liberty of the Gospel of Christ, in or out of Univer sal ist Denomination, South. As the “ Crucible” will be the only true exponent, in all the South, of the principles of the venerated lathers of Denomination, who labored fifty years ago, the patronage of all liber al Christians is respectfully invited to the publication. L. F. W. ANDREWS, June Ist, 1871. Macon Ga. General Acorn has telegraphed 1 to the Secretary of War, from Oma ha, on the 26tli, that a party of In dians, claimed to be of Spotted Tail’s band, were captured on the 28th, near North Platte Station, with sixty head of ponies and mules, which they stole from Kiowas below, on the Arkansas. They stated they were authorized by the agent to steal this stock. The matter awaits the decision of the Interior departments as to what disposition shall be made of the sto len stock. Mr A. D. Lockwood, the great cot ton mill engineer of New England, gives it os his opinion that Augusta will be as great a manufacturing town as Lowell, Mass. A good natured capitalist was ap proached in this city, says the Macon Telegraph and Messenger, with the subscription book of the Street Rail road, and asked to take a thousand or two in stock, as it would, in a short while, pay a handsome dividend “ Yes, and suppose it does,” he re plied, “ the Central Railroad Compa ny will lease it in ten days after the dividend is declared. Blackshear will soon have anew Methodist church. The forming interests of Laurens county are backward, and cotton is dying. More About ike Lease. The Atlanta Sun says the lease of Maoon and Western railroad, it seems, cannot yet be regarded as a fixed fact, as the stockholders have yet to pass upon the master, and a tremendous opposition M> the ratifi cation is being made. The Macon and Brunswick road is a stockholder in the Macon and Western, to the amount of about three quarters of a million of dollars. AH of this stock will very naturally, be emphatically opposed'to the consummation of tho lease. We have also heard of several individual holders of large amounts of stock who ajso strenuously oppose the lease. Basing an opinion upon tho information at hand, we think we can sec a very lively contest over the question, and it is by no means im probable that the stockholders may refuse to give their sanction to the transaction. The matter before the Board of Directors, we are informed, was handled with a marked degree of unanimity, and without acrimonious disensssion. The stockholders will pass upon the matter in a few days, and not until then will the question be considered ns definitely settled. A good deal of the opposition grows ont of the fact that the Macon and Brunswick Company, through Mr. llozlehurst, made a better bid than that at which the road was leased. It is held that ten per cent per annum is the best that can be expected from tho present contract, while the Macon and Brunswick offers twelve per cent It is also further claimed that tho $750,000 of stock owned by the Ma con and Brunswick Company is suffi cient surety for tho regular payment of the rental. The Macon correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, un der date of May 23, 1871,. thus al ludes to the late railroad lease. At the inception of the Augusta and Macon Railroad I attempted to rouse up Augusta and Georgia Rail road Company U the aggressive policy of the Central Railroad Company. My feeble voice was lost in “ Sleepy Hallow.” Now, see! it is almost fait accompli. The Central, like an nnac onda, is drawing its folds around Ma con, Augusta and the Georgia Rail road. By its discriminations it is seeking to draw business from all inland towns to Savannah, and from all roads over the Central. Through its cordon of roads, from Savannah to Vicksbnrg, it cuts off Augusta and Charleston from cotton bags. And now leasing “the Macon and Western,” it will soon build the road from Grifiin to Decatur, and at the latter point graciously receive oil Western produce from the Louis ville and Nashville Railroad. Good by, then, Atlanta, Augusta, Georgia Railroad and Charleston; grass will grow in the thorough-fares of these cities, and spiders weave their webs in their deserted bouses. Tho Cen tral Railroad and Savannah arc not to blame. All honor to their spirit and enterprise! But shall Atlanta, the Georgia Railroad, Augusta, Charleston and Macon accept the sit uation, and all be moribund. That’s the question. Enlighten us through your paper, please. A. Crops In Twiggs County. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I notice reports from other counties in regard to prospects for crops, the most of which are quite appalling, and, indeed, alarming from the fact they arc literally true. I have lived since the day of my birth in Twiggs —nearly fifty-nine years—and I as sure your readers I never have wit nessed before any time to compare with the present. »Our planters have acted in good faith for our common interest and arc looking to their own fields for bread. At least one-third more land in com than former years since the world came to an eiuf (1 mean since the surrender), and one third less cotton. The rains have been abundant since the first of the year to this day, not giving us more than ten days fair weather at any one time to plant. The most of our crops, both com and cotton, arc on uplands, while our stronger cotton lands, of necessity, are yet in an un cultivated condition—the yield of which per acre would equal, at least, to two or three of upland. Some arc yet trying to get in condition for planting their bottom lands, hoping to realize a late crop of com ; some are I>eginning to put cotton to a stand; j-et it is unusually small and death like, and cannot, in my judgment, with good luck make more than a two-third yields, and is all grassy and in very had condition. Freedmcn, our main dependance for labor, arc mostly tardy and lazy, do not war rant us more than six to eight hours of good labor per day, many fomilies of whom are approximating to abject want, which licenses their heads to t noting through the night and idleness through the day. Our hogs and cat tle are in danger, our working stock lean, meagre and disabled for want of care last foil. It may be thought, if not said, my report is speculative and beats feat ures of incorrectness. Such is not the foct, I write the truth, and noth ing in this connection but the truth. Should parties interested doubt it I invite them to cone. A. T. I Tie" Cotton Tax -yissnsr The Legislature of Mississippi, in. response to a timely and argumenta tive message of Govqynor Alcorn, rec ommending the measure, have adopted a series of resolutions memorializing Congress to pass a law refunding to the people of the cotton growing States the amount of taxes collected on cotton during the years 1865, 1866 and 1867i Says Gov. Alcorn: ■ “With all the other products of ths national agriculture untaxed, the tax on the product of the section lately in rebellion was, in its character, penal. With the thriving industry .of the lands free from any direct burdens of taxation the levy of that direct bur den on the crippled industry of the South bore all the outward seeming of a conqueror's oppression.” * * * * “And reparation for the wrong done' the State of Mississippi and oilier States of the South by the.ootton tax, may be made at this time with the fullest measure of political concilia tion. The Supreme Court of the United States stands evenly divided as to the right of Congress to levy the tax, and with an invidious and oppressive law placed thus in a doubt ful position on the very verge of con stitutional authority, the reparation may be taken wisely from the atti tude of a surrender to right to that of a concession of fraternal feeling.” Wc have no doubt that every South ern Legislature will concnr in memo rializing Congress for the same ob ject, but wc are not half as saugu'ne as Gov. Alcorn seems to be that the Republican majority will acquiese in the expediency and justice of “pro moting the national harmony” by re pairing this great wrong and “refund ing to the struggling cotton industry of tho South every dollar taken from its sore need under that great mis take, the cotton tax of 1865, ’66 and ,67.” It is right And proper to make the attempt, however, were it only to test the value of the professions of magnanimity and kindly feelings of which some leading Republicans have been so lavish of late towards the suffering people of the South.— N. O. Bulletin. From ftnmter County. Tuesday night, the 30th ult., a pari ty of men went to the house of a col ored man, Isom Jenkins, who was employed by Mr. Thos. Davenport on bis farm, and ordered him to eomc out, which he refused to do. They then went into the house and forced him out and carried him about a half milo and shot him, and supposing they had killed him lie was thrown into an old tree top nnd there left. The Sheriff hearing of the affair and from information received, went out and arrested Sam’l I’ouncey, AVm. AVilder, and Jack McMath, three white men, who are now in jail await ing a preliminary investigation of their connection with the affair. AVc understand that they deny being im plicated in the matter, and we hope they may be able to vindicate them selves am! free their good names from so foul an accusation. The negro says that the party who shot him, called themselves the Smithville Ku-Klux. AVc have not heard whether ho lias identified any of the prisoners as being concerned in the shooting. Mr. E. D. Felder, of Danville, Sum ter eo., while sitting on the poarch of his residence, Sunday night, saw some one sitting on his lot gate. He hailed him three times and receiving no reply, said that he would see if he could not move him if he would stay on the gate until he came back. He then wont to his room for his pistol, returning immediately with it and finding the jxjrsop still on the gate, he shot at him. The fellow left the gate and run through the lot, Mr. F. firing at him twice while running, but with what effect is not stated. He then returned to the house and sat down in the poarch, and had been there some ten or fifteen minutes, when the would be assassin returned again, slipping up to the pollings very near the house and fired at him, the ball passing through the brim of his hat. The rascal, thinking he had ac complished liis purpose, then went down the road in quick time. Mr. F. is a quiet and peaceable young man, sociable and kind to all, and was not aware of having an enemy in the county. Wc hope Mr. F. will keep on the qui vine and if the ras cal should again return, give him a free transit to the “happy land of Ca naan.”—Sumter Republican. Larue Trout. —Tho following fish story is vouched for by the most re liable parties: On yesterday a gen tleman named John Newman, who lives or. the Milledgeville road, a fe w miles from Agusta, came into the city withfa trout which weighed thir teen and a half pounds. It was cap tured that morning in Kendrick’s mill pond, and the manner in whieh he was captured constituted the stran gest part of the story. Generally, fish are caught with hook and line, or with a net, but this one fell victim to neither. It was shot with a dou ble-barrelled gun. Mr. Newman has n plank nailed down to the fork of a tree, which stands in the pond. He baited a place near the tree, and then sat down on the plank, armed with a gun loaded with duck shot. When the trout came to feed the hunter fired and killed him. If this sort of thing continues, parties will soon be able to flush perch with water dogs and shoot them on the wing. Fish hooks are played out, and powder end led are all the go.

Memphis, June I.—Gloomy reports of the orops have lieen received from Pulaski, VA’hite, Woodruff and Jack son counties, Arkansas. Owing to incessant rains and late frost, the stand of cotton is very poor and many plantations have been plowed up and planted with corn. SaN FnANcisco, Juno I—The late cool and cloudy weather, with slight rainH, has had an immense beneficial effect on the crops in Central and Northern California.

Pendleton, permanent President, ant! seventeen of the nineteen members of the resolution committee, concurred in the following, Gen. Morgan, Chair man of the Committtee, moved their adoption: AA'hile denouncing the means by which they are brought about, the Democracy of Ohio recog nize as accomplished facts the re cently adopted amendments to the Constitution, nnd consider them no longer a practical issue before the country; but insist that while these three amendments enlarge the power of the Federal Government, the}- shall not in any way alter or modify* its original theory or character and to no further extent abridge the re served rights of-the States. As thus construed, the Democratic party pledges itself to support the Consti tution as it now is, securing equal rights to to all without distinction of race of color, or previous condi tion. The resolutions denounce the bay onet and Ku-klui: bills; opjio.se San Domingo; condemn extravagant land grants to corporations, and the na tional banking system; favor a tnriff strictly for revenue ; favor the collec tion of internal revenue by State au thorities ; object to paying bondholders more tlran the contract price, and de clare that while the bondholders have rights so also have the tax pay ers. A motion to amend by the declara tion that the 14th and 15th Amend ments were revolutionary and void, was lost—l 69 to 296. The report was 4to 130. The Con vention nominated Geo. W. McCook, for Governor, and Samuel T. Hunt, for Lieutenant Governor. Death of a Georgian in Mississ ippi.—Wc learn from a letter to the editor of the Southern Christian Ad vocate, written from York, Mississ- Sgj pi, that a young man named J. W. udson, formerly of Georgia, died very suddenly in that place on Sat urday, the 13th ult. He arrived there that day in a train from the West and only a few hoars after his arrival, -liis disease seemed to be some affection of the heart. He had no papers of importance on his person, and liis only luggage was a small valise. He had enough money to give him a decent burial. He was on his way to Georgia, when he TOafonie Notice.
