Editorials. —The Savannah Re
publican, whose editor is among the
ablest in the State, and the Atlanta
Era, both papers of opi<osite politics,
are discussing the value of edito
rials. They have about settled on the
idea that editorials are of minor im
portance to a newspaper, a conclu
sion we arrived at long ago, and
which wc are duly practicing. \Yc
received about one dozen new sul>-
scribcrs last week, and they continue
to hand in their names and the

Minutes of tieorgln KiiptUt As
sociation.
We have received from the Secretary,
Rev. G. R. McCall, a copy of the
Miuutes of the last Georgia liaptist
Convention held at Cartersvillc in
April last. The whole number of
members reported is 128,412, which,
with 500 of the Florida Association
who live in Georgia, together with “ a
few associations whose minutes
the Clerk could not obtain,” will
make the denomination not less than
130,00 strong in this .State. There
are 764 churches, 760 ordained min
isters, 230 Licentiates, and 11,935
baptisms last year- The next Con
vention will be held in Macon com
mencing on Friday before the fourth
Sabbath in April of next year.

and during his residence there rep
resented the county of Bibb in the

I ftilly practiced his profession.
Bui a short time before his death
he was opjwinted Judge of the dis

ItMtlrOMll.
Hnyiff'vlllc is jubilant one day ami
melancholy the next. With $l5O
dollars more she can have a railroad,
and without this $l5O she can't. —
That’s just the ditfer»*:rt*e, “preanctly.’>
We like Hayncville for its good wa
ter and its citizens for their clever
ness, but w hen she gets that railroad
she won’t “be happy.” Railroads
are a great convenience in this day
of modern progress, but their practi
cal utility is a matter of doubt. W e
make this a sjH'citil application, how
ever, to certain sections of the South.
The Haynevilliuns, though, are un
determined whether to throw them
selves into the busy scenes of life and
its bustle and turmoil. Hear wliat
one of them says to the editor ot the
Perry Journal:
We have turned over bundle and
searched every crack and comer in
this community to raise that $3,500.
to build that railroad. We have
notes signed for $3,350, and there
the thing lias stopped,—at a dead
standstill. IVhat do you think of
the policy of clothing our wives and
daughters in hundred dollar silks,
driving five hiiudrcd dollar stock and
fancy buggies, and when asked to
contribute to the solid and real im
provements of onr place and commu
nity, answer “Too poor—too poor 7
Now this looks to me like the very
climax of selfishness for a man to Ik*
unwilling to make one single sacrifice
for the good of any but himself.
We laek one hundred and filly dol
lars of making up the amount re
quired of us, and if some generous
man does not give the amount Hnyne
ville will stand a slim chance for the
railroad.
There seems to be no spirit of en
terprise whatever, and there can Ik*
no arousing them, it seems from their
lethargy, but a drove of Kentucky
horses passing through, going at five
hundred. Hnvneville is undoubtedly
the Ilip Van Winkle of this county,
and should she ever become any
thing more than the hamlet she is,
she must become so in spite of the
indifference of her citizens, who seem
unwilling to sacrifice a cent to help
in an onward move.
I speak thus not .from pique, but
Ikhmiisc I am mortified to see our
|H*ople w hom I love mill among whom
I was reared from my infancy, so
blind to their interest and advance
ment.
If they can be once arointed, they
can beat all creation in enthusiasm.
No people can sport liner 'teams ami
costumes, and their public dinners
are notorious for Is-ing lieftur than
can Ik* got up anywhere* else ; and
where can you find n more'hospita
ble and kind people ? lint they nn*
sadly wanting in enterprise. If they
can only Ik* awakened to 'flu’s rail
road business, 1 will guarantee t«i*
have it.
Nearly every one is lxdiinii in busi
ness. Our crops as a general thing are
lost; cotton can't be found without
spectacles.

Sale of a Railroad.—The KuYau
la and Montgomery Railroad litis
been sold—or a 'controlling intrsest
in the same—to Messrs, Opilyke, of
New York, and Georgc’H. Hazlchurst.
The Macon Telegraph has this to
say on the effect of Ibc pnrchase :
Although not stated in so natty
words, it is understood tlwt the-sdlc
is virtually to the Macon and Brun
swick Railroad—Mr. -Opdyke ltoing
one of the largest New York stock
holders in'that road, and Mr. Jlnzle
liurst is 'President, iff we me not
mistuken, the road'from Montgomery'
i
to Eufaula is well on the way to com
pletion, there being only nineteen'
miles to finish. With a western con-!
nection via Montgomery and the
North and South Hoad direct to Lou
isville much of the Southwestern
Georgia provision business now done
over tlie Western and Atlantic and
Macon and Western Ronds will, very
possibly, be diverted to the former
route—provided, of course, the Ma
con and Brunswick Road secures a
connection from Eufaula with some
point on that road. 'A friend at our
elbows suggests Ilawkinsville, as
there was a charter, with State aid,
granted at the Inst session of the
Legislature for a road fiom Ilawk

Homicide in Miiajidoevillr.—
We learn from M.. Benton, one of the

was killed in Milledgeville yesterday

Washington, D. 0.)
June 28, 1871. |
Thunder Storm.
Washington was visited on Satur
day by tiic most violent thunder
storm for years past. In several
parts of the city*, so great was the
storm, that the streets were covered
with water several inches deep.
With it camo wind and hail; horses
broke loose from their hitching posts
and ran away, many* of them, before
caught, leaving the vehicles to which
they were attached, in a smashed-up
condition. A most violent gust took
a wagon driven by a country gentle
man of color, and w hirled it “around
aud around,” the horse occupying
a central position ol the cirele it
formed in its course. The colored
man who had clung to the wagon,
when the gust passed over and he found
that no damage had been done to his
horses and but little to the wagon, ex
claimed “Oh Massa 1 nothing but
this nigger’s prayer saved us from
going to do place so* hot where hail
stones neber ab seen.”
A. S. Lakin before tiif Ku Ki.ux
Committee.
The “Reverend” A. S. Lakin, who
testified before the drag-net coin
mit'ec, which the Radicals are run
ning here at enormous cost to the
people, with such remarkable minute
ness as to having seen an infant lvu
klux in tbe flesh, though dead, did
not stop with that single marvel.
He encountered the most hairbreadth
'scapes, and was frequently saved in
a miraculous manner,evidently to des
scrilie this incipient monster and to
upset the Darwinian theory. Lakin
produced a “diary,” as lie facetious
ly called it, in which he had recorded
most of tlie astounding experiences
of his brief career in Alabama—
When this delightful book was pro
duced, the first glance showed it to
have been written with the same ink
and without- the intermission of a
genuine diary. When interrogated
he had to admit that it was not tiie
original, but a copy. This is the way
in which Radical “ diaries” arc man
ufactured, long after the events they
pretend to record.
One of the stories which Lakin re
lated with affected solemnity, was to
this effect: lie travelled through
various counties of Alabama as a mis
sionary, (and a very charming one he
would have adde I, but for his mod
■ esty.) and was entertained at the
houses of *• many lending Democrats.”
They received him with a kind hospi
tality, and proceeded to reveal to this
stranger, all their plans for getting
rid of carpet-baggers and such vermin,
by murderous menus. Subsequently
Lrikip reached Montgomery, and
there heard of the “outrages,” and
was struck by the extraordinary coin
cidence between tlie revelntionsand the
events. Yet, although be professed
to keep a “ diary,” not a syllable is re
corded of tli is remarkable fact, and
lie never even mentioned it to any
of his numerous friends.
Lakin rehearsed his testimony very
glibly, and thought lie had finished
his part, when a member of the com
mittee took him in hand. He in
quired IT all these persons called
“ lending Democrats” had agreed on
information ? Oh. yes: they had all
told him the same thing, and it came
to pass with wonderful accuracy. And
they were all leading democrats ? Oh,
yes; lie was sure of that. And there
were many ?Y"es a large number, at
whose bouse he stopped, and they con
fided in him without hesitation. How
many at least? Certainly a dozen,
but probably many more. Now be
pleased to give the committee the
names of this dozan, or some of
them. Lakin reflected ;he could not
now remember, but could recall the
names if allowed time. He was told
to consult bis “ diary.” but that gave
no clue. So the committee adjourned
till next morning.
When Lakin nppenred again, he
wns met with the suggestion, that
he had rested, doubtless refreshed
his memory, nnd of course could give
& satisfactory answer to the question.
He stammered, sought to explain,
aud ended by saying be could not
give a single name.
This is substantially, though not
literally, what took place. And it is
such scamps as these, who wear the
livery of Heaven to serve the devil
in, that have been brought here to
slander and persecute eight millions
of white people, who, by an insulting
mockery of their oppressors, are call
ed free. If anything could justify Ku
! Kluxism, it would be the conduct of
infamous wretches like Lakin. and 1
the best proof that it does not exist,
is tlie naked fact that he is in Wash
ington to swear that it does or did.

Fort Talley and l*a« klimtille
Itallroud.
Col. C. C. Duncan, President,
has issued tlie following to the sub
scribers of the proponed branch rail
road from Fort Valley. We (ind the
same in last number of the Houston
Home Journal;
On receiving the report of the eom
mitte appointed at our meeting on
May 31st, I found that notes to tlie
amount of nearly $7,000 had been
given to the building of the Road
from Fort Valle}' to l’erry. It had
Iteeu estimated by Virgil Powers that
a cash bonus ot $6,000 would be re
quired to enable us to comply with
the original proposition made by tlie
Central Railroad. On meeting the
committee appointed by the Central
Railroad to confer with me concern
ing the building of the Road, I made
I lie proposition to transfer to them
the notes in lieu of the $45,000 sub
scription. This proposition was sub
mitted to the Directors of the Central
Railroad and by them on June the 20tli,
approved. Whereupon 1 have turned
over to them the notes, on con
dition that they are to build the
Road to Perry, with the privilege of
extending towards or through to
Ilawkinsville.
Work will be commenced on the
Road as soon the route can be located
cd and the right of the way secured.
I will state that I reported to the
company that the people of this comi
ty recognized their proposition as a
very liberal one, and that I though*
the parties subscribing would prompt
ly pay their notes; and til's 1 hope
they will bear in mind and promptly
attend to. 1 shall take no more in
terest in the building of tiiis Road
further than to aid the citizens of
Hayncville and vicinity in securing
an extension of the route to their sec
tion.
Believing ns I do, that tin* com
mencement of the Road will ultimate
ly result in its being brought through
to Ilawkinsville, thereby running
through the centre of our county.
1 see no reason why any should ho
dissatisfied with the arrangement ns
it exists at present.
Thanking nil who have aided in
this enterprise, 1 am
Respect fully,

(’iiancf.V, Ga., June 29th. 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger :—
As the present crops in these coun
ties have not lie'll represented this
season in your columns I will give
you the dots, which you may pub
lish if you see proper:
Wc nre having rain in great abun
dance. Corn crops are looking fine
on uplands, where they have been
properly cultivated. Cotton is ex
ceedingly backward, generally badly
ill the grass.
A word to the farmers : Sheep
raising in connection with the raising
of cotton. A farmer in the vicinity
of No. 12, M. and Ik R. R.. whose
cotton farm was considered almost
ruined by grass, turned some two or
three hundred sheep into his fields,
nnd, strange to say, they were not
injuring the cotton by trampling on
it, but were nipping the grass closely
to it, nnd had not been known to even
taste of the colton. I was ni: eye
witness to the scene on the 26th. and
they were doing wonderful work in
the destruction of grass. I think it
advisable for the farmers in the
sheep-raising sections to try sheep.
They will not only be lienefieinl for
their wool and mutton, but will do
great goM on the cotton farms in
wet seasons.
The fruit crop is almost an entire
failure. One month ago wc had the
promise of an übundant peach crop,
tint since that time the peaches have
rotted and fallen olf in the greater
portion of the orchards which 1 have
noticed.
Fertilizers are bidding fair to pay
well this season, as applied to corn.
Considerable amount of the Chesa
peake guano has been used in this
section with good result. About
half the amount of cotton is planted
this year that was last.
Very respectfully,
T. C. Laslie.

Iciiiir Itnllrond.
One of the most important rail
road movements that has lieen recent
ly made was inaugurated here yester
day. The above Company, for the
construction of a railroad from Al
bany, Ga., to Mobile and New Or
leans, was provisionally organized,
the organization to become perma
nent upon the sbscription to the capital
stock of three million of dollars nnd
the jiavment of ten per cent, by the
first day of December next. IVm.
M. Wadley, John Screven, IV. R.
Holt, L. K. Welch and Nelson Till,
are Directors. At a meeting of the
Board, Nelson Tift, was elected
President, and T. M. Cunningham
Secretary and Tresurer. The Cen
tral Railroad anil Banking Company
subscribed to the capital stock of the
company under the provisional or
ganization, fire hundred thousand
dollars.
The line of road to be constrncted
extends from Albany, Ga., to Pol
lard, Ala., one hundred and ninty
five miles. This will complete the
| direct connection with Mobile and
: New Orleans, where it will connect
with-the Texas system of railroad and
with the Southern Pacifiic Road

An exciting secret meeting of the
Episcopal Theological Seminary was
held last evening. Charges were
made against the efficiency, learning
and general conduct of Dean Forties,
whereupon lie resigned and took
leave. During the discussion ex-
Judge Bell, a trustee, fell dead of
heart disease while speaking.
Washington, /unc 30.—The war
indemnity claim of Kentucky, amount
ing to over $500,000, was paid to
day. The claims of other States
want an appropriation from Con
gress. Kentucky’s agent beat the
expiration law just thirty-five min
utes.
To-dav closes the fi-eal year, all
accounts were closed and new ones
opened. Receipts from internal reve
nue 5155,000,000—510,000,000 be
low the estimates.
Negro Ku Kill* Oicriuci.
Augusta, Ga., July 3.—On Satur
day last, twenty-live armed negroes
went to tlu* plantation of Angus Red,
in Barnwell county, South Carolina,
about twelve miles below Augusta,
on the Savannah river.* On arriving
at Red’s residence the party tired a
volley into it, killing Thomas A.
Lowe, and seriously wounding Mr.
Red, his wife and mother. After dis
arming Red the m*-. roes returned to
P. F. II immond’s plantation, where
a Deputy Sheriff tried t > arrest them,
but without success, as they refused
to disarm. The negroes, however,
promised to go to Aiken and stand
an examination. One of the parties
implicated was arrested here this
evening. llis version is that Red and
Lowe attempted to chastise a negro
for stealing from the premises of the
former; that the negro escaped from
them, nnd returned with an armed
band, who did the shooting by way
of retaliation. The affair causes un
easiness ai.d alarm. A party arrested
in this city represents himself as a
school teacher, and says he was on
his way to Aiken to deliver himself
up to Hie proper authorities.
A horrible accident occurred near
Louisville, Lincoln county, Missouri,
last Sunday. On that day, while
General David Stewart, with his wife,
were driving to church in a buggy,
the horse became unmanageable, and
ran oil'at high speed. Mrs. Stewart
was first thrown from tlie vehicle and
killed, her neck, ann and leg being
broken; and General Stewart, was
next dashed out, receiving injuries
which caused his death two hours af
terwards.
