Louisville, Gra:
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,1871.
Milladgevills v». Athens.
Tills is tho beading o{ a somewhat
peevishly written article in the last
Southern I \Vatehn\an relative to the lo
cation of tbc ‘‘State Agricultural, Me
chanical. and Military College.” Our
coUmporary, after quoting a couple ol
paragraphs taken from an Exchange in
which Milledgeville is assumed for ccr
tain reasons ns -the most eligible end
practicable place, remarks, “llere is
richness.—We give it just aB we find
it, but we believe it originally appeared
in one of tho Milledgeville papers. Cer
tain it is, that one of the Milledgeville
delegates to the Rome Convention,
made the same showing in substance.—
Nothing like it has occurred before, ex
cept perhaps, the devil’s proposition ‘to
trade off all the kingdoms ol the earth.'
What title Ims Milledgeville to any ol
the property named ? Athens might with
equal propriety tender the Capitol, Pres
ident’s Mansion, Treasury Department,
Patent Office, Post Office,* Agri
cultural Department and grounds at
Washington City! She has as good a
title to all that as Milledgeville lias to
the property named” (that is the old
Capitol, Executive Mansion nnd Peni
tentiary Square— Ed. Rec.) “and it is
worth ono thousand times more mcney 1”
There are several little “weak points”
in these remarks of the Athens ‘Watch
man’ —the first of which is, that it can
not be shown in any thing that has ap
peared in a Milledgeville paper, or which
any delegate to Rome from the Farmers’
Club of Baldwin County stated in the
Convention, where any right of o/encr
ah ip was claimed by, or for Milledgeville,
to the old State House of Georgia, the
Penitentiary Squaro, or Executive Man
sion. It is claimed, however, that these
buildings arc commodious, and located
n Milledgeville, and not only unoccu
pied but wholly useless to the State and
a source of expense. It is claimod fur
ther, that the people of Georgia own
these buildings anJ tho grounds; and
that the legitimate purposes of the Cap
itol and Exocutivo Mausiou, have been
destroyed by removing tho Seat of Gov
ernment ; thus breaking the State's
plighted faith to the property holders of
Milledgeville and entailing groat dam
age upon them. It is also claimed, that
the Legislature of Georgia have tho
right and power to appropriate these
vacant buildings in whatever way it may
deem proper; and it is moreover cm
2"iatically claimed and asserted, that it
is better and cheaper to donate them to
Me Agricultural College contemplated,
than to suffer them to remain idle and
go to decay ! If thero is any "richness”
in suggesting, under such aspects, a pref
erence for Milledgeville—or if tho peti
tion of her citizens has any similarity
with tho devil’s attempt to bribe his j
Lord and Master, it must float in the (
brains of the "Southern Watchman” and
no where else. Again, we regard as ex- i
ccedingly weak, the Editor’s argumeut 1
ol Athens having as good a title to the j
Washington City public property, as
Miiicdgcvilio has in and over Georgia’s
deserted halls within her corporato lim- :
its. lie was hard pushed when he could
gay nothing morn conclusive against
their quasi rehabilitation, knowing as he
must, that their original use can scarce
ly if ever bo revived. So far as real i
ownership extends, Milledgeville has
only an integral part—but whatever ad
vantage location confers, she may justly
claim priority and right of guardianship,
over all others.
psyThc Editor of tho Daily un -True
Georgian, at Atlanta, in its issue of the
28th ult. says: "Tho Bourbon dynasty
is about tho nastiest thing which ever
pinued itself to the coat tail of Domoc*
racy. Now, behold it in Atlanta ! dead,
the deadest thing among the corpses of
ignorance and bigotry.”
The allusion to the political Editor of
the Atlunta Sun as Me Bourbon dynas
ty and from whom the gross billingsgate i
above, was designed to elicit some kiud 1
of notice, is unmistakable, and can only 1
provoke the silent pity of Mr. Stephens,
rather than his condescension to reply.
Besides, we would remind Dr. Bard of
the extreme recency of his remarkable
feat by which be ‘pinned’ himself to the
Democratic tail, and with what apparent
subserviency and honest devotion ho
had up to the very moment, daDgled
upon'tbe skirts of ultra radicalism, in
all its hues and shapes. In bis advo
cacy of tho ‘new-departure’ mistake of a
portion ol'the Democratic brotherhood—
so far from his evincing knowledge of
the Democratic creed, or the true prin
ciples of pur original representative re
publican Government, he acts (uninten
tionally we hope) more the part of a se
cret Spy, or one anxious to cicate schism
aid multiply ’dissensions, than to heal
ofcaciljrdLcoujeßt. Familiar with de
p»tui offer the VRy tlicks of a turncoat,
bjjis lost lets audSiUs.-ati.-tied unless fo
menting or engaging in some new achciuo
or other; all which we candidly advise
Dr. Hard will never establish fame or
fortune on any firm and eudming foun
dation. j Wq Jhaye no fear of final re
sults, of that the party of the people will
divide when the time arrives for the
, gifted encouuter with the invaders of
the Constitution and the lurking dis
ruptc-rg of our national Union, however
much they may dispute as to the plau of
the battle. „
Health of Charleston.
The Niws of the 30t!i says: “The
yellow fover continues to excito the com
munity, though the disease, as yet, ex
hibits no especial feature of activity in
its spread or of malignity in-its type.
Several new eases are reported, and du
ring the twenty-four hours ending at
noon yesterday, there were six deaths
resulting from the fever. The hegira of
unacclimated residents during the pa6t
two days hns been very extensive, and
will continue to-day. All tho trains go
out woll filled. In the event of tho fe
ver assuming tho proportions of an epi
demic, tho fewer subjects that remain
within its reach the better.”
The State Eoad Cooks-
Atlanta, Aug, CO.—The archives of
tho State Road were to-day turned over
to a committee of citizens. This action
was the result of a scries of prosecutions
for the last several days, during which
the late Auditor, Treasurer, General
Ticket Agent, Master Mechanic and sev
eral merchants have been held to bail to
answer for frauds on the Treasury. Tho
road is the exclusive property of the
State, and lias been managed by the Re
publican party of Gc. rjia.
Have You any Old Cigar Boxes?—
The Chicago R<publican says there lias
been a recent judicial decision touching
the tax upon cigars, making it a penalty
of 8.70 not to destroy the box after tho
cigars shall have been taken therefrom.
This applies net only to the regular
dealer in tho article, hut to the consu
mer, and tho individual who lias a dozen
empty cigar boxes “kicking around” his
house or in tho possession of his chil
dren, had better put his foot in them, or
institute a saving? bank in order to meet
the penalty, since the law does not ex
cuse iguorance.
Damage to the Hive Crop. —The dam
age to tho rice crop, from the recent
sturms prevailing in this vicinity, says
the Savannah Republican of the 29th,
has been more serious than was at first
anticipated. Thu forward lice which
had been cut and was lying in tbc fields
stacked, was totally swept away. We
bavo seen letters from two heavy plant
ers, who estimate their loss of tho grain
thus harvested in the aggregate between
eight and nine thousand bushels. Other
planters have doubtless lost correspond
ingly.
The growing crop, not cut, has not
been so generally destroyed, but has
been seriously injured both in the head
and tho straw, from long continuance of
the wind and water.
I Those who think tho oil wells of
Pennsylvania have played out, may be
surprised to learn that tho production of
petroleum in this country' is steadily on
the increase. In 1860 wc exported but
one and a lialf millions of gallons ; in
ISGS it had reached ninety-nine mil
lions, and last year it was one hundred
and forty-one millions. The increase in
the flow of oil in Tnnnsylvatiia, Biuce
1867, has been nearly titty- per cent.
A letter written by a I’olish exile in
Siberia, and published in the Galician
Dzinnik, gives a heart-rending account
of tho sufferings which the :ncu who par
ticipated in tho insurrection of 1803
have to undergo. 110 says that their
food is utterly insufficient, mid that the
Russian officers who net as their keepers
treat them with terrible brutality. Wo
men of noble descent are frequently flog
ged for trifling infractions of discipline
until seuseicss, and prisoners who at
tempt to escape receive invariably one
hundred lashes with tho knout. Tho
writer of the letter says that two-thirds
of the l’oles who were transported to
Siberia eight years ago are dead, and he
appeals to the civilized press throughout
tho world to denounce the conduct of
the Russian Government.
Bln Butler. —Ben Butler said, in a
speech the other day, that Miles Staud
ish, tho old Puritan, was fortunate be
cause be lived in a time when there were
ao newspapers. The New York Sun
j thinks that B. B. mentioned only a mi
nor point, and that Miles Staudish’s more
| extreme felicity was that lie lived at a
j time when there wero no Ben Butlers.
, Wo concido with the Sun, fur old Miles
| doubtless had a supply of silver spoons,
| which would not have remained in his
possession long had the Beast been about
Thb Causeless Waii on Coue.v.— Tbe
New York Post condemns the war on
Corea, and says it hopes that this last
attempt of our Government to diplomat
ic work in the East at the canon’s mouth
may ho the last time our Christian civ
ilization shall appear in arms before the
heathens and barbarians to extort fiom
them grants which they have the right to
withhold.
; Flake’s (Texas) Bulletin, of August
i 23d. sayß: "In the recent difficulty at
j Bastrop, the State police were drunk,
i and fired some ten shots at n Mr. Jost.
j lie returned the fire and killed a State
j policeman. Tire firing took place near
the storo of a Mr. Joseph Holter, and
his children were present at tho time.
Mrs. Holler, the mother, seeing tho af
fray, and fearing the safety of her littlo
ones in so tcrrillo an exposed condition,
was completely overcome. She fainted
in her great fright and terror and died
Slro was buried in tho Jewish Cemetery
atLaGrauge.”

Meeting of the Citizens ofMcSnf
fie County-
Tiiomson, Ga., August 31, 1871.
Pursuant to a call through the Mc-
Duffie Journal, a largo number of the
citizens of McDuffie assembled at the
Court House to-day.
Judge James B. Neal was called to
tho Chair and George P. Stovall request
ed to act as Secretary. The Chair then
stated the object of the meeting to be
to consider the proprioty of petitioning
the next Legislature to liavo tho cap
itol moved back to Milledgeville from
Atlanta. On morion, a committee of
three, consisting of Col. M. C. Fulton,
F. M. Usry aud J. Hillman, were ap
pointed to draft resolutions for tho action
of the meeting. Tbe committee report
ed the felloe ing resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
I Vhercas, Tho seat of government was
moved from Milledgeville to Atlanta
against the wishes of our people, nnd, as
we believe, of a large majority of the
intelligent citizeus of the State ;
Wlurcas, Tho eld capitol buildings at
Milledgeville aro much belter suited for
the purposes of government than thoso
now occupied in Atlanta ; and, moreo
ver, can be obtained without cost, being
the property of the State, a matter ol
gravo immportanco to our people in
tbeir impoverished condition ;
Whereas the city of Atlanta has fail
ed to comply iu good faith, if we aie
correctly informed, with her voluntary
pledge to furnish nil necessary public
buildings for the use of the government,
for ten years, without cost to the State ;
Whereas, The Opera House and the
Governor’s Mansion have been purchased
at enormously high prices, and we be
lieve iu reckless disregard of the wishes
and tiue interests of our people, and,
finally,
Whereas, The administration of the
State government, since its removal to
Atlanta has been both corrupt and ex
travagant, squandering absolutely
millions of tbe public funds aud wan
tonly imposing heavy burdens of taxa
tion, which it is impossible for our people
to bear longer without uttor ruin and
bankruptcy ; therefore,
Resolvtd Ist. That wc, the people of
McDuffie county, earnestly appeal to our
fellow-citizens “from the mountains to
! tbe seaboard,” who arc in favor of hon
esty and economy in tho administration
of tho government, and opposed to the
reckless squandering of the public funds
in tbe purchase of U. I. Kimball’s Opo
ra State House, Bullock Governor’s Man
sion at fabulous prices, and to other
liked venality and corruption, which
have characterized the government since
its removal to Atlanta, to unite with us
in demanding of tho legislature at its
approaching session, bucli action as
shall be deemed best calculated to effect
the speedy removal of tho beat of gov
ernmeutfrom Atlanta back to tbe old
capitol buildings at Milledgeville, so
long renowned for tue eloqiicuce, states
manship, patriotism, fidelity, and hon
esty of our public men, and now hallow
ed by glorious memories of the latter
days of the Republic.
Resolved, 2d. That wc hereby in
struct our Representatives and Senators
to advocate tho removal of the capitol
back to Milledgeville, and to favor tho
sale or rent, as shall be decreed best hv
them, of the Opera State Houso and the
Bullock Governor’s Mansion, so called,
in tbe city of Atlanta, so as to protect
whatever interest the State rightfully
owns in said buildings.
Resolved, ild. That we candidly
invite the co-operation of tbc good peo
ple of our State, and respectfully sug
gest the bolding of county meetings to
consider tho question of the removal of
tbc State capitol back to Milledgeville.
. The meeting then adjourned.
James B. Neal, Chairman,
Geo. P. Stovau,i Secretary.
.Tfais Nashville Union and American
learns from a friend from Lebanon, Ten
nessee, that'll few nights since several
young men iu disguise went to the place
of Mr. Baker Barns, ten miles above
Lebanon, for the purpose of scaring some
negrws living there. It seems tbai Mi.
Harris trad notified them, or rather given
ootiee, that he would not allow them to
come there; so when they came, ac
cording to his instructions, the old ne
gro man fired on them, which resulted
iu the death of one of tbe party, whose
namo was Lyons. His* comrades car
ried him some distance, aud left him at
a house, withoo'»giving their'names.
The Potcrsbnrg (Va,) Index has the
following in regard to “the richest man
in the South.” The Index snya: “John
Hopkins, a Maryland Quaker, who began
life in Baltimore as a small grocer, by
industry has brought himself to be the
richest man south of Masou and Dixon's
line. He is now the largest stockhold
er in tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
$8,000,000, much of which he has
given to cudow John Hopkins .Univer
sity, on the outskirts of Baltimore city.
Sir Hopkins is a plain, aged gentleman,
still diligent and fully in business, and
was one of the projectors and endowers
of the line of iron steamships between
Baltimore and Bremen.”
In Pound. —Throe of Grant’s horses
st:ayed abioad in Washington on Friday
and were putin tho pound. The groom
of the imperial stud tried to induce the
pound master to deliver up the animals
on the dead-head principle, but the offi
cial was iuexorable, and the administra
tion was mulcted SG. The World adds:
"Subscription lists at the Custom House
arc now in order.”
Grant’s Cottage. —lt appears that
Grant’s cottage at Lohg Branch was
partly the gift of professional gamblers
and sportiug men. Tho Hudsou Gazette
says:
Humiliating ns Grant’s course has
been throughout bis presidential term,
bow much does it add to that humiliation
in the eyes of the staid people of the
Uuited States to have it publicly pro
claimed that his princely seaside resi
dence—where ho dallies away the days
and weeks and months that should be
devoted to the duties of his office—is in
part the gift of professional gamblers and
sporting men !
The Nashville Banner of Sunday says:
"Both the Gallatin and Hartsville pa
pers, which came last night, have brief
accounts of a fierce bail storm northwest
of Sumner, Tenn., ouc day last week.
On many ‘new ground’ fields, after tho
storm, every stump of much size could
be seen, so flatly was the corn blown to
the ground. Much of the corn is said
to have been torn up by the roots or
broken off. Much timber was destroy
ed. Tho thermometer dropped down
to 63.”
Washington, August 30.—Tho De
partment of Stato has issued two circu
lars, urging claimants to prepare and
present claims at once. No papers al
ready filed can he withdrawn, but ad
ditional papers way bo filed. Claimants
must prepare for themselves proof of
claims. Upon application the State De
parlmcnt will furnish a copy of the trea
ty and instructions regarding the mode
of preparing proof.
Mobile, Ala., August 28. —The low
pressure steamer Ocean Wave, exploded
her boiler at half past five o'clock on
Sunday afternoon, at ljpint Clear wharf.
About 200 oxcurtionists were on board.
From fifty to sixty were killed nnd wound
ed. A portion of the bodies were brought
to this city by steamers Fountain and
Annie last night. Others will be brought
to-day. Efforts arc being made lo re
cover the drowned. Tbe cause of the
disaster has not been ascertained. In
vestigations will bo made. Out of a
creole family, consisting of seven per
sons, six were killed. The Captain, en
gineer and pilot wero killed. Only
three officers oscapod.
Columbus, 0., August 30.—Pendleton
and Thurman spoke here. Pendleton,
after eulogizing Valaudighatn, repeated
his Ovcrlaud speech. Thurman said the
Democrats interpose no objection to the
Thirteenth Amendment, but were as
strongly opposed to the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendineuts as ever. He de
nonneed tho reconstruction measures of
Congress, claiming that all the reconstruc
tion necessary when the rebellion surren
dered, was for the Southern States to
elect Congressmen and Representatives
to Congress, lie reviewed the recon
structed State Governments in detail,
and said the debts of those States had
bceu increased by negro and carpet-bag
government 8190,000,000. He denounc
ed the Ku klux bill and the treaty of
Washington.
The recent excessively hot weather at
Chattanooga has created ranch sickness
in the way of fevers.
"Lincoln streets” have been opened in
nine Gorman and two Italian cities.
In one day 10,000 buffalo robes wero
shipped from Leavenworth to the East.
Forly-t wo German authors dedicated
their books to Queen Victoria last year.
The San Antouio (Texas) Herald
learns that tho people of Fayette coun
ty, in that State, have come to tho de
termination to refuse payment of the
school tax, as a majority of the citizens
are unable to pay tbe enormous taxes
enforced upon them.
The luka (Miss.) Gazette says; "Our
town needs a hotel as much as every
Radical in tho State needs a halter.
We should gladly see the former want
supplied; evory honest man in Mississip
pi would rejoice at tho latter.”
A correspondent of tho Aberdeen
Miss., Examiner, writing from Corinth,
Miss.,says that “Radicalism is almost
extinct in the counties of Tishomingo,
Alcorn and Prentiss, and the carpet-bag
gers have almost all gono homo.”
A negro appointee in the Columbia,
South Carolina, Post Office robbed the
money drawer of fifty dollars, was ac
cused of the tbeft, restored tho treasure
and left by the first train for parts un
known.
