General,) Washington, D. C., March 6, 1874. /fsn. Phillip Cook, House of Repre sentative* : Sir—ln reply to your letter of the 20th ult., relative to new mail routes, you are informed that the Depart- i incut will issue an advertisement sometime this month, inviting propo sals for carrying the mails on several routes in Georgia and other Southern States. Copies of this will l>o sent to the post masters in the counties where thermites are situated as soon as It can be prepared. I hare the honor to lie Very respectfully yours, Ac.. i J. L. French. Aot'g .*evM Ass’t P. M. General. Tin* I'owntj Hite «f (’offei* not Itrmmt'd. A pnimment citizen of Coffee coun ty, in writing to the editor of the Diki’ATCII, expressed his disapproba tion of the bill recently passed by the liOgislattire providing for tin removal of the county site from Pong lass to some station on the Ilrntm •wiek ami Albany Railroad. The change in.the location of the county aite placed would have him as well as many other good citizens, to much inconvenience in attending (Courts, public sale*. Ac., by compelling them to travel nearly the entire distance ncroM Coffee county. While the re nioval would have Ix'iiefltted some, it would, in our opinion, been injurious to a majority. The bill provided for the removal of the county site “from Douglass to such place on the Bruns wick and Albany Railroad as the tax payers might, by ballot, direct, and for the ap|x>intment of a Board of Commissioners to carry out the pro visions of the Act.” Governor Smith has seen proper to disapprove the act. and lias there s*re vetoed it ujx>n the following grounds i The foregoing bill is disapproved U|M»n the ground that the removal of the county site of Coffee county, con templated and provided for in the hill is made conditional u|>on the creation of the new county of Xieli olls. and the bill creating the said new county having failed to In-come a law the passage of this bill into a law is unnecessary. Jas. M. Smith, Governor. We timl the* following items in tlu- Atlanta Herald of the 15th inst.: In Dooly county, a man named Elliott Julies. been me mo engrossed by a discussion upon the question of “the influence of woman ami money,’' j that he went off to himself and tried to tie his knife blade around his throat. He was discovered soon af- j terwards, and was promptly stitched up by a physician. He doe* not j seem to care now for either woman or money. The Hawkinsville peopl# are being 1 regaled by an Amateur Club of dra matists who have arrived at tin ! “Lady of Lyons” in point of stage proficiency, they are to repeat the I play, in order that the people may j have an opportunity of understand- j ing what the play is.

Texarkana, Texas, is about seven ty-fiv* days old, built in a dense for est. it is located nineteen and a half miles from Fulton, Arkansas, it now numbers over two thousand bona fide citizens, and there are two hun dred buildings going up. There is a general ticket office, two railroads, two express companies, two telegraph lines, and forty saloons.

Dear Sir—My attention has been called to an article which appeared in your paper —lssue of February 26th ult., watitled: "Cursing the Editor Wrongfully,” ar.d as follows ; ‘ Hold on, pa ; don’t curse the edi tor. He sent your Dispatch to Mag nolia. but it’s over at Mr. Ws. He carried it home to read.” Mr. R's wrath subsided, and lie put on his hat and went after his last week’s Dispatch, perhaps reflecting over the uncertainty of Uncle Sam’s mails, and that editors sometimes get more cursing than they deserve.” As I was evidently the Mr. W. re ferred to, I saw the only Mr. It. who takes your paper through this olllce. ami was informed by him that lie had not seen you recently, and that he had not made any statement to you on which you could base such an ar ticle. As the Magnolia post-office is. and has been feoin its establishment, at ray residence, or "home,” Mr. R. was doing nothing unu>iinl in going there for his paper, and I fail to see why his so doing should necessitate any maledictions upon "the editor,” or “Mr. W.” I suppose you have been misled by ! some one in reference to the nuttter; but, as the article is based upon false premises, and contains an insulting charge against myself—not the less insulting for being indirect—l shall expect you to publish the necessary retraction, as a simple act of justice to "Mr. \V."—alluding to me in that wav. Verv res|X!etftilly, Sam. 11. Washington. Magnolia, Ga.. March 14th, 1874. [We publish the dmve with the “greatest filicijy,” and ke pleasure in saying that we liav’ut a thing in the world against Mr. Samuel Wash ington. We wouldn’t harm a hair on his head, and hope he will treat us ' with like magnanimity. We certain ly meant no insult when ive wrote the paragraph in question. If this will soothe Mr. W's wrath, we trust he 1 will licg our pardon for thus imputing j to us wrong motives.] —Editor Dis patch. Two \ngiistii Negroes right a Duel. Ai'Oi’sta, March 8. 187 t. Two negroes. Peter Blair and Mo ses Sullivan, had some angry words, during which Blair told Sullivan he was no gentleman. The latter de manded an apology or satisfaction with shot guns or pistols. Blair re plied tiiat he had no apology to make, but accepted the challenge, naming the time, place ami weapons. The parties met at the sand bar this morning at 7 o'clock, accompa nied by their seconds, two negroes, named Ralph Knight and William Armstrong. Tin* ground was stepped off and Colts’ tivc-eliooters placed in the hands of the principals. Knight gave the words of command. He said, “Peter, are you ready ?" Peter said “yes, Moses, are you ready V Moses replied, -yes.” Then they commenced shooting and parlies tired away until the last barrel was discharged. The pistols were re-loaded and the principals re sumed their positions, the words of command repeated, and the tiring re commenced and continued until Blair fell to the ground, wounded through Ik,tli his legs. The parties returned to the city immediately. Sullivan fought at the same place last year, and Blair fought another, near Savannah, some time ago. V Young Wife’s Suicide. Mrs. Josephine Faiat, wife of Bonis l-'aist. a U-irber. doing business at No. 14i l-’irst street, near Adams, Jersey City, committed suicide on Friday morning by swallowing half an ounce 0 f Paris green. Mrs. Faist was blit eighteen years and nine months of age, and for some time past had Ih*cii an invalid. During the early part of the week she remarked to a ladv liv- ing in the same house that if she did ] not get hotter soon she would kill herself. On Thursday morning she repaired to the drug store kept by i George Pape, corner First and Ad ams streets, and asked for five cents j worth of Paris green, telling the j druggist that she wanted it to kill roaches, aa her closets were full of them. Mr. Pape told her it was a deadly poison and she must he very careful with it. She laughingly re plied she was aware of that, and left the store in good spirits. On reaeh | ing home she mixed the green with j some water and drank it all. She then went to hod and called her hus i hand, who was in tln> shop in tin front part of the building. She told ! him what she had dose, but he ; thought she was joking, and began fondling her. She pointed to the drained glass, and said site was timl of living; she wanted to die and go ;to her mother. Tlu* husband called ! her sister into the room, and immedi ately ran for Dr. Desehere, who was soon joined by Dr. Nichols, hut, though the physicians worked faith fully over her during the remainder of the day and night, she died at five minutes after eleven on Friday morn ing. after twenty-four hours of rx crucial ing agony. Deceased was the second wife of Mr. Faist, the first having died seven mouths after her marriage, and what is a little singu lar the second wife died on the first wife’s birthday. After the first few hours of suffering. Mrs. Faist repen ted her rash act, and begged the doc tors piteously to save her, crying very often, “*Oh. will 1 live ? Doctor, will I live?”— Newark' Register. i A stingy husband accounted for all i the blame of the lawlessness of his children in company, by saying his wife always gave them their own way. “Poor thing I it's t.ll I have to give them,” was the prompt reply. The Lien Law. The lien law of Georgia has been repealed, to take effect next Novem ber, but, as many contracts still exist under it and many more will accrue this season, the status of parties un der the iaw is of lone interest. The following ruling by Judge Erekine contains points that should ba held in recollection by debtors and credit ors : In the matter of Henry C'. Base, bankrupt, vs. A. Wheeler, Sheriff of Sumter county, Fred Glover, Deputy Sheriff, W. I). Haynes, plaintiffs in fifa.,etal. Petition for injunction. At Chambers, February 18, 1874. On the 26th day of November, 1873. Haynes made his affidavit to foreclose his lien on the crop. Bass was declared a bankrupt on the 25th of the same November, and the crop lien ji.fa. was levied on the first of December. This was after the bank ruptcy of Bass, and when the projier | tv was in the custody of this Court and held for it by the bankrupt until the appointment of an assignee. No i assignee has vet been appointed. * * The clerk will issue the temporary , injunction as prayed for. This iii ; junction I grant solely on the ground that the levy was made after the 1 liankruptcy of Bass, but at the same time I remark that no exemption will be allowed out of the property held under a judgment obtained by' virtue of what is known as a “crop lion*” for it is purchase money under the laws of this State, and I must follow the State law in this, if this lie a cron lien. The register will instruct the bank rupt to take the most particular care of all and any portion of the property returned by him in his schedule and l>etitioii until the same is ordered by the register, Mr. Beckett, to Ik- de livered to the assignee when appoint ed and qualified. Perhaps the most proper manner to have prevented this would have been bv asking for a sale against par ties for interfering with projiertv. which, at the time of the levy, was in the legal possession of this Court. The levy was made after—not before the surrender ot' the property named in the petition of this Court.' John Kkskine. Judge U. S. Court. Ihe older oT injunction was regu larly issued by Joseph McPherson. Esq.. Clerk of the "United States Court. A Wholesome l,aw i In V irginia a stringent law has been passed which is intended to pun’ - 'Mi persons guilty of cmlx-zzlement and breaches of trust in the saint manner that other thieves arc pun ished. It provides that if any per son shall wrongfully use, conceal or embezzle any money or property which lie shall have received for an other. or by virtue of his office* trust lor employment, or which shall have liccn entrusted to him by another, or by any court, corporation or compa ny. he shall be deemed guilty of the larceny thereof. Persons who pledge or hv|<othec.ite property U-longing to others, and fail to pay over the mon ey so obtained t>» the owners; and (lemons obtaining advance* of money, merchandise or other thing upon a promise in writing to deliver a crop or other property, who shall fraudu lently fail or refuse to perform such promise, are likewise to lie deemed guilty of larceny. A provision is in serted in the law- that any person prosecuted under this act shall Ik- al lowed to testily in his own behalf. Phis law, it will be observed, applies to defaulters in public office- or in the employ of banks and other corpora i tions, as well as"to embezzlers having less promising opportunities f.»r plun ! der. A Tennessee Farmer Murdered £ in his own House On Thursday last (says the Knoxville Press and Herald of Sat urday) Mr. Richard Reynolds, a farmer residing aliont thr e miles from Bell’s Bridge, in Knox county, Tennessee, was shot and killed b\ two unknown men. The details of the tragedy, so far as they arc known, are ns follows: Mrs. Reynolds, wife of the mur dered man, states that two strange men called at the house after dark on Thursday evening, and asked V Mr. Richard Reynolds lived there. Being answered in the affirmative, they said they had some business with him. and went into the room, in which were Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds and a young colored man. After a few moment’s conversation, the oldest of the two men asked Mi. Reynolds his name, and living told, one of the men suddenly seized him and the other threw himself on Mrs. Reynolds. The negro was threatened with death if lie made any outcry. M rs. Revnolds was then taken to another room and securely tied, and there left alone. Soon after she heard shots fired in the room in which her husband was.with much noise and loud and angry talk. Then she heard footsteps leaving the house. When, after a long time, she was enabled to free herself from the cords with which she had been tied, and had fearfully re-entered the room from which she had been taken, a ter rihlo sight met her affrighted gaze. Mr. Reynolds lay on the floor, dead, in his gore, and the negro was lying near him, bleeding profusely from a wound in the thigh. These are the facts of the tragical mystery as we gather them from several sources. Five Million Soldiers. The German empire has a military organization comprising seventeen and a half army corps, contain ng tbriteen hundred thousand soldiers, to which she has added yearly 170,- 000 recruits. She wants that many because France is organizing an urmv of 2,423,000 men to win back Alsace and Lorraine, winch are destined to be the Abatoirs of Europe. -What is heaven’s best gift to man V asked a young lady Sunday’ night, smiling sweetly on a pleasant i looking clerk. “A hoss.” replied the young man.

The restless activity, energy and enter prise ot the age have so extended the sphere of journalism that the modern newspaper is literally encyclopedic in character, comprising everything of spe cifte or general interest in the vast domain ot art. seiencr, literature, religion, politics and tin- news.
