Louisville, Gha:
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1871.
The Great Coming Tidal Wave.
The New Otleeaa Picayune of the 3d
inst. has one column entirety devoted to
the announcement of Prof. Agassiz's ap
proaching swell of the waters of tbo At
Untie Ocean, and the probable snbmer
sioa of the entire coast from Capo Hat*
teras to Bahia, in Brazil! Whether hoax
or fact, we are not competent to decide;
bat there is an evident vein of irony—a
something too much like jocoseness—in
the fdetails of the monstrous phenome
non, to inspire full confidence in its huge
developments. It is said to be the calcu
lation of Aga&iz—a distinguished natu
ralist and prominent tavant of New
England; but when or where made, or
how promulgated by the Professor, is
not mentioned. Still, all may have been
duty recorded, and all may happen at
the appointed time, sth of October next
or morning of the 6th 1
The enormous height of this moving
ridge of waters is estimated at 50 feet!
with a momentum of 40 miles or more to
the hour, and a simultaneous breaking
upon the shores, for at least one thou
sand leagues. We cannot accouot for
the absence of Prof. Agassiz's autograph ,
or bow the report of it reached New Or
leans before and to the apparent exclu
sion of other intermediate stations.
Still it may all be true; and in tbat
case none the less unpleasant to be en
countered. True or false—“ghost or
goblin damned—to be or not to be”—is
a question that we can’t shake off to our
entire satisfaction. Such mighty up
heavings of old Ocean’s fury have been,
and it is but reasonable to infer will be
again—and if again, why not exactly
when and where science, with all its re*
cently improved facilities and laborious
investigations, have said it will occur 1
Surely, Professor Agassiz has indulged
in no sportive extravaganzas, nor enun
ciated a mere vague hypothesis 1 And
as surely, no prying sensational ‘inter
viewer’ would dare abuse the rights of
hospitality or the truthfulness of pri
vate conversation to any sneb unpardon
able and criminal hazard. Yet we ‘are
not happy’ and would vastly aocept all
these, rather than have so much as a
tithe of tbe shock of the Neptune-col
nmn over the plains of the Alleghany
and tbe Andes 1 We are not easy, and
we charge the ‘‘Picayune” and Macon
Telegraph, to keep a sharp lookout: in
tho mean time, we propose not to be
idle in getting our mop and pail ready,
that, like old Mrs. Partington we can
help to soak up the superfluities 1
Specialized Medical Practice.
We clip the following from tbe Atlan
ta Constitution, and notice it that young
Practitioners and Students of Medicine
may be induced to follow the lead of Dr.
Simpson. We are aware there is noth
ing original or new in his coarse; but it
has fallen into too general disuse, or
does not receive in the South the same
care and attention as elsewhere. In Eu
ropean Colleges, if we are not mistaken,
it is an established feature in their cur
ricula, as well to eultivate thorough ad
vancement in all the branches of cure, as
to accommodate indiviiual preferences.
Surgery is almost as distinct a science as
it is separately praoticed in all large cit
ies: so of Dentistry in part; but both
are not unfrequently exercised by the
general Physician, and certainty under
many and unavoidable difficulties. Prob
ably it would also be better if other or
gans or diseases were exclusively studied
and attended to ; at least, it seems rea
sonable that surer and more reliable
treatment would ensue. Net only affec
tions of tbe eye, but impaired hearing
kidney complaints, Paralysis, Rheuma
tism, &c., might be made lucrative spe
cialties, greatly benefitting the afflicted,
and to the manifest relief of the old
‘pack-horse’ Doctors:
Da. Carolus A. Simpson. —This high
ly esteemed young physician of our city,
left for New York to spentPsome months
in tho ‘Eye Infirmary’ of that city, with
a view of familiarizing himself with the
more difficult operations on the Eye. We
are glad to know that Dr. Simpson’s ab
sence is only temporary, and that, on
his return, he will resume the practice
in the line of his Having
graduated in Europe, and attended the
hospitals of some of the largest cities of
the old country, and having several
months experience in the ‘Eye Infirma
ry' of New York, he will afford our citi
zens rare advantages for the treatment
of tbe Eye.
V. S. Cavalry. — A detachment of the
Seventh U. S. Cavalry, Lieut. B. H.
Hodgson commanding, arrived in Thom
asville on Friday last from Atlanta.—
They were said to be on their way to
Florida to assist tbe revenue offioere in
tasking their collections.
BP The New Orleans Picayune ot the
34 inst., has the following extract from
the Cincinnati Commercial of the 30th
Angusti
“On Sunday morning last, Mr. Robert
Lee, a submarine explorer, at work on
tbe wreeka of the America and United
States, which boats were lost, nearly
three years ago, near Warsaw, about 50
miles below here, found the remains oi
e women beneath tbe hull ot tbe Ameri
ca. She waa past recognition, but the
discovery of a rail set of false teetb, on
gutta percha, and three gold rings, two
of which bear the initials S. E. J. and
R. A. J., and one the name, Thomas De-
Kalb Harris, may serve to identify it.
The person is supposed to have been a
boat sixty years old."
Thomas DeKalb Harris named in tbe
above, we presume, is tbe same gentle
man who for many years lived in this
city, and left it for Washington, D. C.,
where he was or had been engaged up
to the beginning of hostilities, as ono of
the assistant clerks to tbe U. S. House of
Representatives. As to what relation
ship he bore to tbe unfortunate female
alluded to, we know nothing; and our
latest tidings of himself are, that he was
residing in someone of the counties, ei
ther in Georgia or Alabama, at no great
distance from the city of Columbus. Os
his whereabouts now, or whetber be is
still living, wo are iguorant.
A live Borne Journal-Notable Change
Last October, Hearth if Home passed
into tbe bauds of Messrs. Orange Judd
Sc Cos., of 245 Broadway, New York, tbe
well known publishers of tile American
Agriculturist —a journal long without a
rival in sterling valne and circulation.
The marked improvements then expect
ed to appear in Hearth and Home have
been fully realized, and it is now one of
tho choicest illustrated journals any
where issued for the family circle—a
dapted to both the juvenile and adult
people, and meeting the special wants
of the housekeeper. Besides it supplies
very useful chapters for the garden and
and farm, and an important news sheet,
giving a valuable resume of tbo news for
a week, up to the moment of issue. From
SSOO to SBOO worth of very fine engrav
ings beautify each weekly number. We
notice now a still further mark of enter
prise on the part of the publishers; they
have secured tbe exclusive services of
Edward Egoleston, so widely and fa
vorably known by Lie writings in Sc rib
ner’s Monthly, and many other Maga
zines and Journals, and especially as
.tbe chief superintending Editor of tbe
New York Independent for some time
past. With this notable addition to the
previously large and strong editorial
force, Hearth & Home can not fail to
merit and command a prominent place
in every household, in city, village and
country. Specimen copies can doubt
lesa be obtained of the publishers as a
bove. Terms only S3 a year. Single
numbers 8 cents. Hearth If Home and
American Agriculturist together, $4 a
year. Better add one or both of them
to your supply of reading; they are
each worth infinitely more than the
small cost.

The following, endorsed by some of
onr leading citizens, will bo read with
interest by many of our patrons.
The Sooty County Tragedy
Mr. Editor There have been va
rious accounts of the killing of Joiner by
young Devereux, published in tbe dif
ferent newspapers, nono of which are
correct; and moßt of them have had a
tendency to unduly prejudice tbe pub
lic against Mrs. Joiner it is, therefore,
due her that a true statement of the oc
currence as tbe facts appeared in evi
dence before tbe Coroner’s Jury, should
be given tbe public. This I propose to
do, in as|brief a manner as possible.
It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Joiner
bad not for some time, been living very
pleasantly together, and that the princi
pal cause of this state of affairs, was the
management of a little girl, a daughter
of Joiner by a former wife, and which he
had concluded to carry to live with
tome of his relations at a distance. On
the morning the killing took place, soon
after day,and before cither had risen from
bed, Mrs. Joiner complained to her bus
band of having passed a very restless
night, she being sick. He told her that
while she had been rolling and tossing
all night with sickness, tbat be had been
equally restless from mental anxiety on
account of haviDg to separate from his
child. She told him tbat it was unne
cessary for him to do so, but tbat if he
would get one of his grown daughters
to come there and keep house for him,
that she would goandliro on her daugh
ter’s plantation. At this he became very
highly incensed, got out of the bed in a
great rage, and told her that her
son was trying to effect a separation be
tween them, and tbat he intended to
havo revenge. He then went to bis
trunk and got his pistol and told her,
*we are going to have blood and thun
der here directly."
While this was transpiring, Devereux
was in an adjoining room, with tbe door
between the two rooms open, so that be
heard the whole of the above conversa
tion. He having no arms, and hearing
Joiner’s threat of “blood and thunder,”
passed out at another door and wont to
a store some miles off, and proenred a
pistol. When he returned, Joiner had
gone off to work the public road, and did
not get home until dinner. In the mean
time, Mrs. Joiner bad gotten her son to
promise tbat he wonld have no difficulty
with Joiner if he could avoid it, yet he
still insisted tbat be would have an ex
planation of Joiner’s threats. After
Joiner had eaten dinner he went oat to
tLo door and took a seat near where Dev
ereux was sitting, who told him that he
wished to have a conversation with him.
Joiner replied, “and I want to have a
talk with you too, sir.” But very few
words had been spoken, when Mrs. Join
er. who was sick in bed, finding that a
difficulty was abont to ensue, arose and
went out to them. She found Joiner
with a chair raised, and her son with a
drawn pistol. She immediately rushed
in between them and begged them to
desist. They both ordered her several
times to get out of the way, which, fear
ing some injury to herself, she finally
did. As soon as the way was cleared,
Joiner struck, and at the same time
Devereux fired, tho ball entering Join
er’s bowels. The blow with the chair
knocked Devereux out in the yard, and
the pistol out of his hand. Joiner then
ran into a room where he had bung his
coat when be came in from work, and
took bis pistol from the pocket, and went
to the door with it in his hand cocked ;
and looking around on all sides asked,
-“Where is be ! Where is he ! Dev
ereux, who was standing around the
corner of the bouse, when he heard this
inquiry, stepped out where he could see
Joiner, and fired the fatal shot. The
deceased lived but a few minutes.
As scon as Devereux found that the
shot bed proved fatal, he appealed to
his mother for money to enable him to
leave the couutry. She gave him five
dollars, which was all tho money she had,
and he immediately left. Parties who
came in soou after, found Joiner just as
he bad fallen, with the cocked pistol by
bis side.
Mrs. Joiner was arrested, charged with
being an accessory to the killing, and
being quite unwell, she waived a pre
liminary trial, and tendered bail in tbe.
sum of S2OOO.
This is substantially the testimony
given, at the inquest, by Mrs. Joiner,
herself, and corroborated by two or three
negroes, who the only witnesses of
the unfortunate affair.
The many erroneous accounts which
have been given of this homicide, some
of which were intended, no doubt, to
prejudice public opinion against Mrs.
Joiner, has induced the writer to give
the above correct statement of the facts
in the case, Loping that those newspa
pers that have given publicity to reports
calculated to implicate her as an acces
sory to the killing, will do her tbe jus
tice, and her friends tho favor to pub
lish this also. And of the public, her
friends would respectfully ask, that it
should suspend its opinion and not to
prejudice a case which is soon to under
go judicial investigation, but boas char
itable as the law is, which presumes ev
ery ono innocent until the contrary is
made to appear.
From the Constitutionalist.
Removal of the Seal of Government.
Tbe wishes of the people of Georgia
•n the removal of the seat of government
from Millodgeville to Atlanta were never
fairly consulted and expressed. The
removal was effected by a trick. Had a
vote been fairly and squaiely taken on
the isolated proposition, it is our deliber
ate opiuiou that the change would never
have been made. The subject ot remov
al from Milledgoville was frequently dis
cussed in the public prints and in the
Legislature. It was, indeed, a standing
dish for discussion before that body. The
public mind was constantly harrassod by
it. The people, and especially the
property holders of Milledgeville, were
kept in a Btate of chronic ferment by it.
The question was submitted, pure and
simple, once at least, directly to the pop
ular vote, and the decision was against
removal. Had the question been sub
mitted independently, and by itself to
the popular vote, in April, 18CS, when
the present Constitution of Georgia was
ratified by the people, we believe that
the proposition to remove the seat of
government to Atlanta would have been
rejected. But the question was artfully
incorporated with the Constitution adopt
ed in Convention in March, 1868, and
there was no chance for the question to
be divided. Tbo vote was necessarily
for the Constitution or against the Con
stitution. It was taken in its totality,
and there were a thousand reasons ope
rating on the peoplo in behalf of the
adoption of the Constitution. They conld
not afford to reject it because of one, two
or more obnoxious features in it. Tbe
State was under the heel of the Federal
Government. It was a military satrapy.
The will of a Yankee General echoing
orders from headquarters, or yielding to
his own capricious impulses, was the su
preme law among us. So restive were
the people under this condition of things,
tbat they voted for the Constitution sub
mitted because they looked to it as the
only door of escape from arbitrary power.
Thousands of voters to whom the a
bandonment of Milledgeville was unpal
atable, voted for the Constitution under
this pressure. It was voting as it were
under duress. They feel that an unfair
advantage was taken of them in this
matter. They would delight in au op
portunity to show their resentment of tbo
wrongs perpetrated on them. They feel
tbat a fair opportunity to express their
real preferences in this matter is due
them. They will demand of their mem
bers of the Legislature some action at
the approaching session.
There can now be no change back to
Milledgeville, or any other point, except
by amending the Constitution. The
provision for amendments to tho Consti
tution is as follows:
“This Constitution may be amended
by a two-thirds vote of two successive
Legislatures, and by submission of tbo
amendments to tho qualified voters for
final ratification.”
We do not now propose to go into tho
discussion of the considerations in favor
of Milledgeville. Thoy were always
strong enough to keep the neat of gov
ernment then. In dseane* of the objec
tions, real and fanciful, urged against
Milledgeville by rind interests, when
the question stood upon ita own mnrits.
They are atrongar now than they were
then, and soma of tha objections former
ly urged are untenable now.
Tho subject is brought to public at
tention by tbe proceedings of the recent
meeting in MeDuffie county. They in
vite public meetings in other counties.
Dreadful Tragedy ra Wilkinson. —
The Macon Citizen learns that about
midnight, Wednesday last, a party of
unknown men gagged and killed Mat
thew Deaeon, Sheriff of Wilkinson coun
ty, and also a negro woman in bis em
ploy. and threw their bodies into a mill
pond near by. Tha bodies were recov
ered ou Friday morning, and tbe Sheriff
Deason was found to have a gun shot
wound in the head, while the remains of
the woman gave evidence of having been
badly mutilated with a knife. The Citi
zen received its aceonnt from an appa
rently reliable source, but will not vouch
for its correctness.
Beauties or Radicalism. —The New
York Tribune publishes a written agree
ment between Governor Butler of Ne
braska and J. D. Silver Sc Son, con
tractors, whereby the latter agree to pay
to the former ten thonaand dollars, pro
vided the contract for building tbe
State University and Agricultural Col
lege be awarded to them (Silver Sc Son)
at a stipulated price.
From Southern Recorder.
Trial of Snead—Bigamy.
On Friday the State, vs. John T.
Snead was ealled, and both tbe prosecu
tion and defence having announced
“ready,” a jury was impannelled. It was
noted that thirty-six jurors had disquali
fied themselves by forming and express
ing an opinion, 60 great was the excite
ment against the prisoner.
Tbe indictment charged that tbe pris
oner did, on tbe 31st May, 1861, at
Bedford county, Virginia, intermarry
with Anna H. Robbins, of New York,
and that said Anna is still living, nndi
vorced from prisoner—and tbat in April
1871, prisoner intermarried with Sarah
E. Myrick, in Baldwin county, Georgia.
G. D. Cowles witness for tbe State,
testified tbat he saw Suead in New
York city, in June, IS6B, in company
with a-woman, (now present in Court)
whom he introduced to witness as Mrs
and tbat prisoner was in her com
pany nearly every evening for a month
and introduced ber to other gentlemen
as bis wife. Witness further said tbat
prisoner waa a friend of witnes,s father
Jerry Cowles, and was a gentleman in
all respects, save one, and so esteemed
in New Fork. Witness had been a
common sailor for a number of years and
had just returned from Australia, when
be made S’s. acquaintance in 1868. Wit
nees is a Civil Engineer, learned the
Science from Gen. Stewart, daring the
month of June, 1868.
Tho State produced a letter, purport
ing to be signed by J. T. Snead, and
addressed to Mrs. J. T. Snead, “my
dear wife,’’ written from Boston, in 1869.
Tbe State offered an exemplification
from tbe Clerk of Bedford county, Va.,
an unsigned paper, 6eeming to be a mem
orandom of “application for a license to
marry,” This paper bore date 3rd May,
1861, and contained, tbe names of prison
er and Anna H. Robbins. The Clerk’s cer
tificate stated tbat there was no other
record, touching the matter, in his office.
Gen. S. P. Myrick testified to prisoner's
marriage to Sarah E. Myrick, in April
last.
For the prisoner, no evidence was of
fered, though his counsel objected to all
tbe evidence adduced by tbo State.
For tbe State, the following attorneys
appeared, Sol. Gen. Jordan, Gonder,
Briscoe, Weems, Sanford and Fnrman,
For tbe prisoner, Lofton, Crawford and
Williamson.
Tbe argument was opened by Weems
of Macon, who for forty-fivo minutes en
tertained tbe crowded ball, with a
beautiful piece of Mosaic, gathered from
poets and dramatists, executed with con
siderable artistic skill.
Mr. Crawford followed in an
argument of au hour and a half, di
rected mainly to tbe legal sufficiency of
admissions in bigamy cases. AU this may
have been appropriate, but discussing
law to a jury is rather dull business.
There was one notable point in bis re
marks however. It seems that marriage
in Virginia must be by license or it is
void—tbat tbo license must bo recorded
before its issues from the clerk’s office,
and the clerk certifies tbat there is no
such record.
• Judge Gonder followed for twenty
minutes, in a beautiful speech, replete
with chaste language, bold figures and
elegant diction. He seemed to fear the
testimony and kept clear of it.
Capt. Williamson followed for the
prisoner. His was the speech of the
day. Bold, clear, logical and with the
trne pathos of oratory and chaste rheto
ric, be wasted uo words, bnt drove right
to the mark. Truly he had a “word for
every place and a place for every word.”
If there had been any doubt of the re
sult, from tbe beginning, it was all dis
sipated now. But we cannot do justice
to this effort and will only say that it
was complete,
Mr. Furman followed for forty minutes
in a close, powerful speech, showing great
tact in support of a lost cause. This
gentleman, it is said, was earnestly op
posed to going into a trial at this term of
the Court, predicting certain failure
should they attempt it. Bnt he was over
ruled and the result verified the correct
ness of his judgment.
Col. Lofton closed in a convincing ar
gument of forty-five minutes. So clear
did tbe failure of the prosecution appear,
under bis exposition, tbat many were
surprised and even indignant tbat pros
ecution should be pressed on so small
foundation as was presented on the stand.
His Honor then oharged the jury tbat
Bigamy consisted in having two wives
at once. If, when prisoner married Miss
Myrick, he had any other wife living
(and his admissions were sufficient evi
dence that he had,) then he is guilty.
Tbe jury retired in charge of the bai
liff, and after about twenty minutes, re
turned with a verdiet of not guilty.
Thus ended a sensation tbat has agi
tated our community for months, engen
dering feelings of bitterness' threatening
violence,
Lorillard & Go.—Wa suppose that
most of oat readers, says the Musa TW
rgraph, have heard of this oelebrated te
bacco and snaff house of New York city.
They have never bad an advertisement
iu our columns, bat we propose to give
them one without charge.
An Atlanta tobacco merchant ealled
at the house a short while since to make
some bcavy purchases. Before buying,
however, bo told one of the firm that he
had been solicited by the Lee Monument
Association, to establish agencies in that
city for the sale of the pictures of Gen.
Lee, and asked this business man if he
would not subscribe for ono. He receiv
ed a most abrupt and insulting answer
after this wise, “Sir, I would not per
mit the picture of suoh a traitor and
rebel to come into my house, if I knew
it, much less encourage the building of
a monument to bis memory by paying
my money for it. I think it an insult
for yon to ask me to do each a thing.”
On being asked by the Atlantian if he
did not care for Southern trade be re
plied, “that bo would not give a cent
lor it.”
We trust that our friends and South
ern dealers, generally, will not hereafter
trouble these gentlemen with what they
do not “care a cent for.” Remember
the house; Lorillard & Cos., New York
city.
