THE HAWKINSVILLE DISPATCH. 6. The revolution carried on for the past few yearn in Cuba has involved the loss of thirty thousand lives. They sny female compositors get through their copy very rapidly, bc i/ig anxious to get the hist word. A cat licked the face of a young lady in New York, and died in a few minutes thereafter from the paint which it gathered from the rosy check. For calling a white man a “d—d liar,” and drawings pistol on him, a Monroe county negro was sent to kiHgdom come witli all his imperfec tions on bis head. A country editor thinks that Richelieu, who declared that “the pen is mightcr than the sword,” ought to have spoken a good word for the scissors. Ip A convention of old maids it* to be nield at Little Rock, Arkansas, “to oain a true knowledge of the nature attributes of men.” Matrimony is the shortest road to the knowledge they are in searedi of. At l.ong Branch, the other day, one young girl asked another to dance with her. “Indeed, 1 won’t,” was the reply, “what do I want an other girl hugging me for." A glorious, sensible girl, that A simple mode of avoiding the spread of small-pox has been discov ered in Alabama. They let the pa tiont die safely by himself; hire a ne gro to bury him : ami shoot the negro as soon as the interment is fini shed. Says an Illinois paper: “During the cold weather of Thursday last, the city editor of the Jacksonville Journal froze his ears to the depth of about eleven inches of the top.” ——- After a Southern State has been cheated, robbed and oppressed until the e.ar|>ct-bag scoundrels ntc obliged to run away, then their victims nr« called Kti-Klux and placed under innrtial law. —Honton Po*l. The Savannah Republican states that “I*. \V. A.," the well-known ar ray correspondent, and Gov, Smith's conflential Secretary has been offered *4 ,000 to locate ns editor of a Cana dian journal. Hero is a chap who known Imw it is himself: “A pair ot sweet lips, a pink waist, a swelling chest, and a pressure or two of a delicate band, will as much unhinge a man as three fevers, the measles, a large si/.ed hooping cough, a pair of lock jaws, several hydrophobias, and the doc tor’s bill.” A soldier was sentenced, for de serting, to have his car cut off. Af ter undergoing the brutal ordeal lie was escorted out of the court-yard to llic tune of the •“Hogue’s March.” He then turned, ami, in mock digni ty, thus addressed the musicians: I thank you, but I have «»o car for music.” Ik, A countryman in Savannah ob served a gang of darkies laboring .on the streets, each wearing a ball and chain. Ho asked one why that ball was chained to his leg. “To keep people from stealing it,” said the darkey, “ heap of thieves about here." The following, we arc assured, is a verbatim copy of a letter recently re ceived by a schoolmaster in Indiana, from a householder in his locality: “Cur, aas you are a man of no legs. I wish to intur my sun in yur skull.” The obseneity and seeming offersive noaa of this address disapjiear on translation. What was intended to lie written was : Sir, as you are a man /if knowledge, I wish to enter my sou in your school.” Richmond is agog over an elope ment in high life, the youth being 17 the girl 20 years old. They both belong to families vrtiieh twenty-five years past have occupied not only respectable, but high |K>sitions in Richmond society, and the marriage and attendant circumstances have Occasioned them the dcejiest sorrow— not to say shame. The couple are in Washington, but are daily ex ■oected to return to Richmond. The husband has no business and no fortune,and probably never earned $5 in bis whole life. HAWKINSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1872 Has Cholera -A Quick Cure. Editor Central Georgian: Our country has suffered so much 1 from'llog Cholera that every one, I think, ought to do all he can to pre vent its ravages. With this view of duty before me I haste to give the fallowing: A few weeks ago my son William brought into our yard a shout, evi dently very sick, hardly able to move, skin red, and very hot. He satura ted its backs and sides thoroughly with an embrocation made of spirits of Turpcnlitle, Kerosene, and Drake’s Magic liniment,equal parts— and poured down its throat a small quantity (perhaps 15 grains,) of chlo rate of potash dissolved iu water. In two hours all signs of sickness were gone. • A few days ago another shoat was attaked similarly. This time William saturated its skin—specially the whole spinal tract—with the above embrocation, but did not use the chlorate of potash. In an hour the animal seemed entirely relieved, and it lias shown no symptom of sickness since. Wm. Haubkr, M. D. Ilartow, Go., March 5,”1872. Hawki.nsvh.i.e, Ga., Feb. 27, 1872. Mr. Editor South lies/ Georgian : As 1 have seen much in your pa per favoring the building of railroads, colleges and factories, and see it now favovoring the building of a railroad from this place to Memphis, Tenn., which, if taken hold ol by oui jicople will adj enormously to our section in its material prosperity. While 1 tbits think of what your railroad will do, I am constrained to ask what good is intended to our country by the huil ling of a railroad known as the Fort Valley A Hawkinsville Kail road, whose charter was obtained September 23rd, 1870, for it seems to me but a few men iu Houston County intended making money out Why does that charter, section two, read that the railroad can lie built “to the Ocmulgcc, near, or at the town of Hawkinsville," for near might mean in twelve miles of our town, or be a road from Fort Valley to Milieu, on the Central Railroad, and leave us out in the cold ? If the road is only to built Ik; from Fort Valley to Perry, twelve miles, and not the whole thirty-five miles, as we see by the published card of the Superintendent of the South Western Railroad, is there not seem ingly an ail vantage taken of the peo ple between Perry and this point and the travelling public generally, who c.\|H.*ctcd by this charter coining from altovc Fort Valley they would have another route to the sea. llawkinsvii.i.k Cotton Factory Messrs. Lamar A King, agents and owners of a controlling interest in the above named factory, have placed upon our table a sample of yarns spun under the temporary superin tendence of Mr. C. A. King, of that firm, which compares favorably with that of other manufacturing establish ments in the South. The factory is located in a county famous for the excellent quality of its cotton, and it commands easy access by railroad and stcamlx.at to evyry part of the State. Under the vigorous business management which it will no doubt receive at the bands of this enterpris ing firm, we see no reason why it should fail to prove a profitable in vestment. We must multiply this kind of industry if we wish to make the South prosperous and indepen dent. —Sacan nah Hepuhtiean.

I!vvelI mill Ills Wire—Their It out untie illurrlugc. Mrs. Ewell, wife of the Confeder ate General Ewell, after having 6pcnt many anxious days and nights at her husband's bedside, was stricken down with the same disease from which he was suffering, and survived only two or three days. The loss of bis w : fe caused a reaction in General Ewell’s disease, and his death Slice lily fol lowed. Mrs. Ewell was the daughter ot the late Judge Campbell, of Nash ville, anil was born in St. l'etersburgb, while her father was the representa tive of this government at the court of ihc Czar. The Louisville Ledger has this romantic narrative of the marriage of Gcu. Ewell : In early life there was a settled melancholy, almost bordering on inoroscnesß, about General Ewell, which impressed his army friends with the lielicf that he bad been the victim of some fickle false one’s lieart lcssness. This, however, was not the ease, lie scarcely attained his ma jority when lie first met Mary Folk Campbell, the lovely and accomplish ed daughter of Judge George W. Campbell, of Tennessee, and mutual admiration sprung up between the. gd'ant young army officer and the fascinating belle, which soon ripened into love. But tin; fates were not propitious. The parents objected to the match so persistently that Gener al Ewell, liecoming piqued, did not press bis suit so vigorously at tile time as lie would otherwise have done. The duties of military life carried him to the frontiers. Throughout ail the stirring campaigns in which lie bore a conspicuous part, lie carried with him the image of his early love, dreaming, in the pauses of the battle, of the time when he might j-ct vin from the unwilling hands of fame a distinction which should commend him to the father's esteem. Meantime the daughter, with that high sense of honor |>cculinr to her race, and a filial devotion almost with out a parallel, addressed herself as I lest she could to the meek observ ances of a dutiful life—ceasing to ciHiiiniiiiicatu with, yet in secret t-liccrisliiug,*hur heart's one idol. A uotlier won her hand, and in her twentieth year she married an esti mable gentleman and settled with him on a beautiful farm noar Spring Hill, Tennessee. A short time lie fore the war she’was left a widow, free to be stow her band again on whom she would. But she bad never forgotten her childish vows. Through all the stormy life of him who first won her affections she followed, wi'.li her pray ers and tears her idol—her hero—who was winning laurels on distant fields. And when iu the battle of the Wil derness, iti May, 18f»4, be was strick en down at the bead of his columns. Mrs. Mary Folk Brown laid aside all minor consul.-rations ami llew on the wings of love to his lieiisitlc, nursing him through all his sufferings, until liu was again able to take command, J t was shortly after bis recovery the dream of aloiig und eventful life was realized by the consummation of his hojies, and these twain, devoted in youth, parted for the quarter of a century, met at last iu the shadows of declining years to pledge anew that faith which had waxed stronger through the trying ordeal of a long separation.

He holds it on i condition that he has no negro enemy malicious enough to make complaint of him. Rut while these tilings arc going on in Sampson, the Federal govern ment hits withdrawn fromptlie pur suit of the Lowry gang, which is cred itably charged with the murder of between fifty ami sixty whites within the past year or two, and acts of in cendiarism and robbery almost innu merable. The government calls off from Lowry to hunt innocent white men who are living quietly at borne cultivating their farms.— Tglrgraph.

Site has beeu interviewed by a reporter of the Reading Eagle, whom she informed that during the time she had several visions. It ap peared that the whole world was ar rayed against her; she was arrested several times, and was ultimately sen tenced to t-e stoned to death, fike Stephen, which was carried out. Her subsequent visions she thus de scribes : I 1 next imagined I was in Purga tory, and was lreing burned alive and tortured in various ways. After that 1 I found myself crossing the river Jordan. On tiro opposite shore I saw my father standing. (He died during the American Civil War.) As I wailed through the waters he stretched his arms toward me, and j said: “Come, my child, 1 have waited long.” The Saviour, who was also on the shore said : “Not yet; your work is not yet finished.” I thought I resolved mentally to get over, when it seemed as if the Saviour read my thoughts, and he added, “Go anil con v-rt all the wotld first.” 1 thought to myself the work was too great for me to do—l can never accomplish it. It seemed as if 1 was then swallowed up in the river. Hut I had almost reached the shore, and I saw the glory land. It was a beau tiful vision. I saw things the moral j eye had not seen, and heard tilings the moral ear had not, heard. The stqiernnl scene was enchanting. There was a large and wide-spreading tree oil which grew a great variety of fruits. Rencatli was a sward of different shades of green, which appeared to lie as line and soft as moss or velvet. The sward glittered with bright shells, gold and diamonds. There were also golden walls. Surrounding the SaViour were innumerable angels dressed iu rolies of while an I wear ing beautiful crowns. I could not tell the color of the wings, but I could see their shape by the folds of the robes. The crnirns were resplen- * dent with diamonds which glittered like stars. 1 noticed that some of the smaller angels had inure stars iu their crowns than had some of the larger angels, and some of the stars appeared larger and brighter than others I supposed that the reason for this was that some hail been better Christians here than others, and t.iat their reward was tho greater. All seemed, how ever to be in tile enjoyment of the highest degree of happiness of which they were capable. The glorified S.iirils beheld the unveiled splendor of the Lord, and superual delight and celestial bliss seemed to reign su preme all around. I eonld not see any instrument, but I heard the sweetest music any person cun im agine. 1 uqycr beard that beautiful tune lieforc or since. 1 bad after that another vision of the celestial world. I thought the sky was beau tiful and calm, and the atmosphere so clear that I could see through it. There wore large green trees with leaves of beautiful shapes. “1 could not aee the Saviour, but I could see the n-flectiou of the light that emanated from him. I heard a voice asking me, ‘Do you love the Saviour ?' I said, ‘No, I never knew him.’ The voice then said, ‘I wouldn’t like to be tier, being such a professor at she was, and seeing such beautiful sights as she did,'and then 1 thought the cock crowed thrice, as it did when I’etcr denied his Lord. Al though I could not see the angels, I heard them shout praises to the Lord and ling the most beautiful hymns I ever heard. 1 joined in singing, and when I returned to consciousness I was still singing a hymn. My mo ther has told me that I sang it in a subdued voice, and that it was the strangest but sweetest, prettiest hymn she had every heard. Neither of us are now able to recall the words or sing the tune. A few days ago a man carried a challenge to mortal combat to a Jack sonville brewer, who r as soon as be read the message, turned to and whipped the bearer in a rough and tumble fight, and said:' “Maybe some more of dem Vants to miiko droiddcs w»it hhv’ “ I Don’t forget to renew your subscrip tion at once. There is never a man so bad, soys a celebrated writer, but some wo man loves him and lias faith in him.

The stockholders of the steamer Katie, which plies between Augusta and Savannah, held a meeting nt Augusta on Monday week, ami de clared a dividend of 20 per cent, from the earnings of tho past nine months. A man in Roberstou county, Texas, has forty-one living children. Sixteen of them served iu the same company iu a Confederate regiment, lie is now living with his eighth wife. A perplexed German tailor, who hail made a garment for a youth aud found himself unable to dispose of the surplus fullness which appeared when trying it on, declared vocif erously that “lie coat is gout. It's no fault of tie coat. Do pov is too slim.” A Louisville lady who wanted to marry another man, but couldn't wait for a divorce, sent her husband down the cellar with a kerosfne lamp for a pitcher of eider.
