Yours truly, WINDER P. JOHNSON. A Beautiful Extract. —“ Ge neration after generation,” says a fine writer, “have felt as we feel now and their lives were as active as our own. They passed away like a vapor while Nature wore the same aspect of beauty as when her Crea te! commanded her to be. The heavens shall be as bright over our graves as they are now around our paths. The world will have the same at tractions for our offspring yet un born, that she once had for our selves, and that she now has for our children. Yet a little while and all will have happened. The throbbing heart will be stilled, and we shall be at rest. Our funeral will wnd its way, and the prayers will be said, and our friends will all return, and we shall be left behind in silence and darkness lor the worm. And it may be for a short time we shall be spok en of. but the things of life will creep in and our names will soon be for gotten. Days will continue to move on, and laughter and song will be heard in the room in which he died ; and the eye that mourned for us will be dried and glistened with joy; and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our names. Then shall we have become, in the touching lan guage of the psalmist, “forgotten and gone out of mind.” Better be understood by ten than admired by ten thousand. He who can suppress a moment’s anger may prevent days of sorrow.

Wild Lands. Suspension of Executions—lmportant Correspondence. As there has been much inquiry and anxiety concerning the disposition that will be made of the wild lands in this State, on which taxes have not been paid, we are permitted to lay the follow ing correspondence before the publie : Comptroller Gen’l., Office. ) Atlanta, July 20, 1871. > To His Excellency Rufus B. Bullock, Governor, ist., Atlanta, Ga : Sir : Notwithstanding I have twice recommended to the General Assembly the repeal of the law known as the “Wild Land Act,” and have once re commended your Excellency to suspeud the enforcement of it until the last day of July, inst., I feel it still to be a duty which I owe to the citizens of the State, again, respectfully, to recommend your Excellency to suspend the issuiug of ex ecutions against the wild lands on which taxes remain due and unpaid, un til the meeting of the General Assem bly. For some of the reasons which prompt me to make this recommendation, I ask your consideration of the following sug gestions. 1. Many of these lands belong to widows and orphans who are ignorant of their rights and duties under this law. 2. Many honest; upright citizens who have all their lives been accustomed to return their lands by giving the aggre gate number of acres without regard to number, district or section now rest in conscious security, feeling that they have done all they should be required to do. Not knowing the requirements of law, they feel indignant that their lands are returned as in default, when they have paid the taxes due on them. 3. Many persons own one or more lots of land, and nothing else, and be cause S2OO worth of property is exempt to oach tax payer, except non-residents and defalters, they conclude that they are not required to returu, nor pay taxes upon their lands. 4. The title papers of many persons have been lost or destroyed, and they have forgotten the Duuibers, districts and sections of their lands, and cannot give these designations, but ihey have iti many instauces given in aud paid on the lands, 5. If the sales were made as requir ed by the act, owners have the right to redeem them in two years, by paying the purchase money with costs, or by producing the satisfactory evideoce ot title to the Comptroller General. This would make the Comptroller General’s office a tribunal in which to determine titles to land. The inevitable consequence would be great trouble and confusiou, since it is not uofrequently the caso that two, three, and in some cases four persons, pay tax upon and claim title to the same lot of land ; moreover, in my opinion, the courts alone should have the right to decide upon the genuineness of land ti tles. 6. If these lands were brought to sale, land speculators would form rings and cliques to purohase them, and these lands would pass from the hands of the inno eent aud unwary to the possession of speculators for merely nominal sums, in adequate, perhaps, to pay the taxes; and thus tue safe of these lands would inure to the benefit of real estate deal ers; without benefiting the State or ma terially increasing her revenues. It is a difficult matter to impress upon the Receivers of tax returns the impor tance of making complete and accurate returns of the nnreturned wild lands in their respective counties. Henoe if sales were made now they would em brace only those lands which have been advertised, which lie ia some forty coun ties, while the unreturned lands in the ether eounties would remsin unsold, giving the owners of them advantages over others only- because Receivers have not made returns of the lands not given in, in their respeettive counties. These, together with the reasons which I have heretofore made known to your RXoellency, and which still exist in all weir former force, are some of the con siderations which, in my judgment, should cause the issuing of executions to be suspended. Respectfully, Madison Bell. Executive Dbp’t, State of Georgia, ) Atlanta. Ga., August 3,1871. J la consideration of tlie recommenda lion of the Honorable the Comptroller General, and by virtue of the authori ty vetted In me by section 70 of the re vised code of Georgia.it js hereby ; . Ordered, That the Comptroller Gen eral desist from the issuing of execu tionß against unreturned wild lands Until the next meeting of the General As sembly. RtTFUS B. BULLOCK. By the Governor: R. H. Atkinson, Sec’y Ex. Dept. Crops in the Middle Lountitt. —-A friend says the Macon Telegraph, who has pissed over a good deal of country writes ad at Prattsburg, Talbot county, in a very despondent vein. He says : “The crops sire comparatively a failure. The ex cess of rain in the spring, followed by the drouth of mid-summer, have left the cotton plant in a very feeble condition, and much of it is. diseased. It ie a great relief to see a more promising state of things in Talbot. Talbot would do pret ty well but for tb« irregular stand. Ev ery where else, whether on new or old land, valleys or blHstdes, great barren spots are visible in the field*.” He re port* the planter! greatly discouraged. Terrible Tragedy in Macon County- We leant from a private letter receiv ed by a gentleman in Griffin, that a hor rible murder was committed in Macon county last Thursday, on the person of a Mr. Joiner, in that county, under the following circumstances: The widow of a Mr. Devereux mar rid a Mr. Lester, and after his death mar ried a Mr. Joiner. By the first bus band, she had a sou Devereux, who du ring her first and second widowhood, attended to busiues for her. After her marriage to Joiner, be attended to her business. Several notes had been pre sented to him signed by Devereux, which were paid ; but on a recent occa sion Mr. Joiuer had declined to pay a note of considerable amouut, when bis wife told him that he must pay it or leave the plantation quickly, and threat ened to leave herself if it was not done. Mr. Joinor replied that he was in no way responsible for the note, and would neither pay it or leave the place, aud intended to gather it. The next day young Devereux came and on the return of Mr. Joiner from tho field, asked for a private conversation, which was granted. Mr. Joiner repeat ed his determination not to pay the note when Mr. D. rose up and fired at him The shot missed, when Mr. Joiner caught him and threw him out of the piazza. Mr. Joiner weut to his room to get his pistol from under the head of of his bed, but it bad boon removed. Young Devereux followed him and fir ed the second shot, which struck Mr. Joiner, and then the third, which killed him. Mrs. Joiuer then gathered up wbat money she had, gave it to her son, who fled, and is still at large. It is suppos ed that she will be arrested as accessory to the killing. Slate Agricultural College— During the lute session of the State Agricultur al Society, at Rome, several points in the State entered the lists to secure the location of the Agricultural College. To aid in building up such an institution, Congress has made a very liberal land grant. Athens, Dahloncga aud Mil ledgeville w re all aspirants, and had able champions before the Convention, Dr. J. S. Lawton, who has just returned from Rome, assures us that a majority of the planters present were in tavor of Milledgeville, and we are glud to learn that all the delegates from Middle Geor gia were on that side. The Monroe delegates took strong grouud in favor of Milledgeville. It was claimed, by them that tbe old capitol, with the public lands in the vicinity, coaid be used ad vantageously, aud this was so appareut, that, had a vote been taken, there is but little doubt as to tbe result. The buildings that would suit admirably, and which are now doing the State no good whatever, could not be built for less than $200,000. There could be no bet ter disposition made of them than is proposed, for while tbe State Agricul tural Society would be lastingly bene fit ted. without any outlay on the part of the State, a large amount of valuable public property could be made service able, which cannot otherwise be put to any practical public use. The question wa6 finally laid over to the next meet ing of the Convention, in October, when we trust Milledgeville will be selected. Monroe Advertiser. Corruption at Washington. The Radical party is in bad luck late iy. Not long ago it blew its own tram pet in a special blast, annonneing to an appreciative public that it was the party of intelligence, morality and honesty. It had scarcely done so before a New York Tribune correspondent blurted out that it had placed tbe government of Sontb Carolina in the hands of serai baibarians, Mr. Greeley denounced its Southern carpet-baggers as a gang of thieves; and its President for political reasons pardoned a convicted bigamist. Its claim to honesty seems to be shar ing the fate of the rest of Rs pretensions. In the midst of the clamor it is making about tha millions alleged to have been stolen by the local Democratic offioials in the city of New York, its Secretary of the Treasury is accused of conniving at an exorbitant contract for stamp pa per, so little fitted for the parpen that it has facilitated frauds upon ike revenue to the amount of lour ot five millions annually. Corruption in tbe city of New York is at the worst, a matter affecting only the million es people who km there. Were all the charges against its local govern ment fnlly established, they would only show that the voters of a single oity did not know how to provide themselves with an honest administration. The other thirty-eight millions of people in the Union ere neither responsible for thalecal government of that city nor able to reform it. But they, and the million in Hew York also, are interested m the honest and economical adminis tration et the Treasury Department at Washington, and when the fountain head is poisoned, the whole stream of national administration running from it is tainted. It is significant also that while the personal difference between Mr. Bout well and Gen. Pleasonton arose out of the contract for stamp paper, the main reason semi officially given for tbe re moval of the latter irons sloe ie that in interpreting doubtful clauses of tbe revenue laws, be decided against a pie tboris treasury and in favor of the over burdened tax -payer. A Radical official may do many things; but twdf seem to be forbidden him—stopping stealing from the Treasury by coutraot***, or stopping official robbery et tax-payers to raise the money for contractors to >m. ■ Ti - The average sea-side belle spends seven hours n day in constructing her toilet.

Their plan is to stock it with a thousand head of fine blooded cattle and young stock, and, if these prove profitable, to follow with larger invest ments.
