It is not generally known, but never theless it is true, that there has .been or ganised in the county of Brooks, with headquarters at, Quitman, a “Grange" of the “Patrons of Husbandry,” and ere long every fanner of character and in telligence will have his name enrolled on its ledger of membership. The organiza tion is an important one, our very best citizens are taking a lively interest in it,' and it is conceded that it is a necessity for the farming interests. Combinations aro the order of the day, and with no class of men are they more necessary than tho fanners of the country. Tho principles and objects of the “Grange” (fully set forth in another column,) are honorable, and if successfully carried out, will prove beneficial to the country. Therefore, as a journalist, we shall extend to it every encouragement; in fact, it, appearing to us expedient, that the organization should have an organ for the advancement of its interests and the propagation of its principles, a tender was made, and we are happy to announce that the Quitman Banner has been accepted as the organ of this local Grange. Under these circumstances, we shall hereafter devote a portion of our space to the discussion and dissemination of matters of material interest to tho plan ter. We have received assurance that prominent citizens, who have experience as farmers, will avail t hemselves of the j Agricultural department of the Banner, I and frequently give their views on topics j of importance. And wo particularly re- j quest all who feel an interest, and have j knowledge of agriculture, to contribute their mites for the entertainment and in formation of the masses. THE PRESS GANG. It was a jolly crowd that gathered at Amoricus last week: There was the good natured and popular Gorman, of Talbotton and Paris; the brilliant, fearless aud indomitable Stvi.es, of Albany; the j talented, eloquent and courteous Ci.ark, ; of Atlanta; tbo polite, dignified aud grace- j fnl Keene, of Macon; the popular, expo- ■ rieneed, unswerving Thompson, of “Ma jor Jones” notoriety, and the energetic, model journalist, Estii.i., of Savannah; the dignified and eloquent, Miller, of Columbus; «tho unostentatious “Eagle Orator,” Baker, of Blaokshear; tho clev er and courteous Pbnpt.rton, of Valdos ta; the fun provoking and good natured Russell, of Bainbridge;the jolly, reckless and persevering Smith, of Brunswick; the sedate and handsome Stone, ol‘ Forsythe; the portly and accomplished Andrews, of Washington; the generous, whole-soul ed Hancock, of Amoricus; the energetic and talented Peeples, of Lawrenceville; the reserved and agreeable Christian, of Tboniasville; the mirth provoking tCnd happy Weston, of Dawson; and many others whose names are not remembered at this moment. They had congregated for business, fun and frolic; and they certainly accomplished all their designs. It was a pleasant reunion, and we aro sanguine they all returned to .their homes with a. more exalted idea of their stat ions in life, as members of the “Fourth Es tate." THE FEDERAL JURY. The rulings of Judge Erakine, in ref erence to the policy pursued in this State in the selection of Federal Jurors, has been fully sustained by Judge Bradley. Os course no other decision was expected, ns the system inaugurated was in accor dance with the express desire of tho Fed eral Administration. The Judiciary, iu these degenerate days, is subserviant to a power behind the t hrone, and grave decisions as to questions of law are not considered in tho light of the Constitu tion, but in pursuance w ith tho require ments and necessities of party. Radi calism required a change in the mode of selecting jurorr in Georgia—Farrow ar ranged the machinery; Erskine examined and pronounced it good for radicalism; aud now Bradley has no option but to echo the sentiment of his inferior. Aud thus we go 1 Grant controls the puree, the sword, the legislative departments of the government, and the Judiciary dare not make a decision in pursuance with tho Constitution, if antagonistic to the interest of the dominant, party. This is a terrible state of affairs, and honest men may well tumble for the future. Convicts in the Michigan State prison are hereafter to be treated with eorisid te atii n. The Legislature has voted to flee them from the humiliation of wear ixjcr Air ped garments, and has also given them Bciinission to correspond with their relatives and intimate friends. The Stab? also devote* funds toward their educa tion. end gives each one. wfieu discharg ed ten dollars’ worth of clothing and ten dollars in cash, with such other mon ey as he max i , v>■ earned 1 y ox erwerk. The Pi-cah Gang ut Am< l ions. We would lie pleased, did our space permit, to give a detailed report of our visit to the teautiful and progressive city of Amerieus, on last Wednesday, and the grand ovation extended to the members of the “Georgia Press Association,” by tho editors of the local press, the city authorities, its citizens and beautiful, in telligent, ladies. They were lavish in hospitality and profuse in demonstrations of welcome. The ladies, gentlemen and children, for the time laid aside their du ties and their studies, and vied with each other in the endeavor to make the repre sentatives of the “Fourth Estate” happy. And they certainly succeeded. For three days the forty editors present were un speakably happy—they rioted on the bountiful hospitality of Amerieus—and when they departed it was with happy recollections of their visit, and the kind est wishes for the continued prosperity of the generous hearted populace. On Wednesday night the Press Associ ation visited, in a body, the “Furlow Ma sonic Female College,” whereof the Rev. T. S. T. Douglass is President. The members were welcomed in an hour’s ad dress by Mr. MeCleskey, which, for elo quence ond oratory we do not think pos sible to be excelled. Our honored Presi dent, Mr. J. H. Estill, made a very hand some response. The occasion of the vis it to the College, was in response to an invitation to attend a musical soiree, giv en in compliment to the Press. The young ladies acquitted themselves well, and the Amoricus Cornet Band very ma terially assisted in the evening’s enter tainment. On Thursday evening the grand Ball and Banquet came off. Two immense halls had I teen beautifully decorated with evergreens and flowers, and so arranged as to la; attractive to the eye and oondu i eive to the comfort of tho guests. Tho | hall was delightful, the ladies charming, ; tho gentlemen attentive to their guests, ! the banquet tables loaded with all the [ substomtials and luxuries to please the eye and tempt tho palate, and sparkling wine flowed liko water. The arrange ments were all perfect, and the man who could fail to be happy on such an occa sion, must, indeed, bo scared in heart. The banquet x-.-as a noble tribute to the power and of an unbridled press, and the representatives who par ticipated in the honors conferred, highly appreciated tho same. On one of the tables was a magnificent pyramidal cake, made by Mrs. C. W. Hancock, the accomplished wife of the ed itor of tho Republican. During the even ing, President Douglas of the Female College, presented it to the Press Asso ciation in a few well-timed remarks; who xvas responded to by Col. Miller, of the Columbus Sun. On file next day, lioxv ever, the Association donated tho hand some cake to the young ladies of the Col lege, as a slight appreciation of the soiree that had been furnished on Wednesday evening. Tho presentation was by Col. S. W. Baker, of Blaokshear, who is cer tainly entitled to the nom deplume of the “Eagle Orator." His remarks were beau tiful, chaste and very appropriate. The President of the College received it on behalf of the young ladies. Before closing this brief sketch of the generous hospitality extended to the Press, we desire to tender our special thanks to Col. C.'W. Hancock, the able editor of the Amerieus Republican, as well as bis associates, Messrs. Reiley & Graham, for t heir hiany acts of kindness. They were the instigators and directors of all the lavish hospitality showered ou their brethren of the Press Aassociat ion, and we shall always hold them in kind remembrance. Tlic I' loiul mret Vegetable ExhiU l ion. To take plnee at the Fair Grounds in 1 Thomasville, on the 30thmet., will, doubt- 1 less, lie a grand affair. Every pro para- j tion has been made for the comfort and pleasure of visitors, and the Times ex- 1 tends a cordial invitation to everybody to j te'prcsent. It says that “Thomasville ! will pay all the premiums, and raise money to defray all incidental expenses; so that our friends from this and sur rounding counties, will not be asked to do anything but to come, bring their baskets, and enjoy one of those social re unions, that knit together so firmly and kindly our people. No admission fee; no entry fee; everything free; so come along everybody, bring whatever kind of a lunch you please, and invite whomso ever you please to share it with you.” The premiums, which are to In? paid in gold, for the best vegetables and choicest j flowers, range from $4.00 to $10.00; and ; Dr. Bower offers a special premium of $5.00 for “tho cleanest, nicest dressed and finest looking Baby (boy or girl) un der two years old, to be on the grounds and decided by three old bachelors and two old maids.” The nephew of the late Thadeus Ste vens having failed to comply with the i conditions of his relative to abstain j from the use of intoxicating drinks, the ! executors are about to apply the vendue ) of his estate, estimated variously from l $50,000 to SIOO,OOO, to the founding of | the Orphan Home iu Pa., de- I signed by him in ease of srnih failure. 1 The will provides that no preference shall i be shown in respect of race, religion, or color iu admission or treatment, and that j all the inmates shall wear the same style of dress ami eat at the same table.

""".ALBANY**" We paid this progressive and beauti ful little city a brief visit on last Friday, and were considerably surprised at the numerous evidences of prosperity. The business houses are large and substan tial, and generally filled with elegant stocks of goods; and many of the private residences are models of architecture, evidencing refined taste and good judg ment. We were particularly pleased, however, with the good condition and cleanliness of the streets. It speaks well for the civil authorities : they evidently have a care for tho health of the city. Wo found the clever and brilliant editors of the News pCol. Styles and Frank Evans, in fine spirits and driving a lucrative business. They have a splendid news paper establishment, and get out the best country weekly in the State. They cer tainly deserve the immense patronage that is extended to them. I 'rtqn Don J si.i >i.i. Intelligmitwfr(n®~}/tnitma«a is to the effect that although affairs appear more tranquil ou Hie surface, the smouldering fires of indignation are liable to burst forth afresh at aPy moment. The bands of patriots, under Gen. Deßlanco, who were underarms iu the neighborhood of St. Martin, have distended, in pursuance with the orders of the Federal military authorities, and the officers havo been arrested and earned to New Orleans. They will, wo presume, he tried for trea son. Upon their arrival in*New Orleans, they were received by tremendous cheers from seven thousand persons, who had assembled to welcome them. Tlte Georgia Press Association. This body transacted souse very im portant, business at its session in Ameri eus last week, portions of which we sha’i take occasion to allude to at an early day. Tlie following were the officers elected for the present year; President J. H. Estill, of the Morn ing News. Vice Presidents -Carey W. Styles, of tho Albany News, and W. A. Hemphill, of the Atlanta Constitution. OoirespondingSceretary—T. F. Smith, of the Brunswick Appeal. Recording Secretary—J. E. Christian, of the Thomasville Times. Treasurer C. H. [G.

For forty fears be has j occupied a prominent position among j the mercantile men of the “Forest City.” : An honest man and an upright Christian gentleman, he had the esteem and res pect of all, aud his death is deeply la mented. Capt. James L. Moseley, during the past two years a resident of Quincy, Florida, died very suddenly at Lake Ci‘y, the early part of last week. For many years he was a citizen of Quitman, and his death is generally deplored. He was a highly educated gentleman, a fine ora tor, and a courteous, jovial and agreea ble companion. He was about forty eight years of age. English Estimate or Lee. —An able article ou Robert E. Lee, iu the Edin burgh Review, contains the following: “The day will come when the evil pas sions of the great civil strife will sleep in oblivion, and North and South will do justice to each other’s motives and for get each other’s wrongs. Then history will speak with clear voice of the deeds done on either side, and the citizens of the whole Union do justice to the memo ry of the dead, and place above all oth ers the name of the groat chief of whom we have written. In strategy mighty; in battle terrible; in adversity, as in | prosperity, a hero indeed, with the sim j pie devotion to duty and the rare purity ■ of the ideal Christian knight he joined j all the kingly qualities of a leader of men. ■ It is a wondrouq future, indeed, that lies 1 before America, but in her annals of years to come, as in those of the past, then 1 xvili be fouud few -names that can rival in unsullied lustre that of the hero ! ic defender of his native Virginia, Eob- I ert Edward Lee.” ! Tlie Cuban cause lias become so lively jof late that all the available regular Spanish troops in Havana have been or : dered into the field. The Columbus Sun, of Sunday, says: Love Larons at Looks. — A man and woman married yesterday morning, got i drunk by dinner, fought in the afternoon tend slop in the guardhouse at night. 1 Can this be as a bridal trip? “A JUST TRIBUTE.” Under this caption Col. Carey W. Styles, theJ:>rilliant editor of the Albany News, copies and endorses the remarks of the Savannah News, in commendation of the political course of the Banner, and says: “The Banner now ranks among the very best weekly papers in the State. Bro. Pildes has purchased new type, en larged his paper, and steamed up gener ally. He is an enterprising newspaper man, and the Banner will wave just as long as Fildts sticks to the helm.” A Florida Desperado. A Lake City (Florida) correspondent of the New York World, furnishes tho following: Some weeks ago a man named Jim McDonnell was murdered at Mclwen's Ferry, on the Suwanet?river, by a noto rious outlaw and desperado known as Ed. Lawson. Hearing of the murder of his brother, William started out as an a vengcr. Accompanied by a man named Peter Hagans and a ferocious dog, he made his way to Mclwen's Ferry, near which the outlaw Lawson lived, and after some little reconnoitering came upon the object of his search near the river. Law son, divining doubtless the object of the men, endeavored to escape to a neighbor ing hammock. But McDonnell had pro vided against such a contingency, and the dog was slipped from his leash and set upon his human prey. There was a short, hopeless race —a desperate strug gle— and the mtirderer Lawson was at the mercy of the murderer McDonnell. The fieri* dog had set his Jpngg in the man’s shoulder aud held him firmly to the earth until the pursuers came up. There was hut a slight display of eti quette when the two murderers met. McDonnell told Lawson that he hail come to avenge the death of his brother, and allowed his prisoner fifteen minutes to prepare for his doom. The wretched culprit devoted the few moments of his life to a confession horrible in the ex treme. He not only admitted that he had murdered the brother of McDonnell for his money, but confessed that he hail also murdered five other men and two women for the purpose of obtaining their money, anil added that these mur ders had only netted him s2f> all told. When Lawson was through with his con fession, McDonnell placed the muzzle of his gun to the murderer’s head and scat tered his brains broodcast over the ground. THE STATE RCA l> WAR. Ex-Gov. Jos. E. Brown and the edit ors of the Atlanta Herald are indulging in bitter language towards each other. Drown published in the Constitution of Sunday, a letter, in which lie charges the Ilerahl with an at t nipt to blackmail him. This influenced two cards from the HeraUl editors: Col. Ai.ston says Brown is guilty of deliberate aud willful falsehood, and Mr, Abrams intimates that the i x-Governor is an unmitigated liar aud scoundrel. Os course such lan guage calls for “pistols and coffee,” or referen e of the Double to a Board of Honor. A colored preacher of Baker county was killed under the following circum stances on the 3d inst., says the Daw son Journal : “It. appear that Oajit. Ivey had been missing corn from his mill, and in such quantities as to put his em ployee on the lookout for the rogue. In vestigation led to the conclusion that tho thief made his entrance through a certain window in the mill-house. Accordingly a gun was heavily loaded and so arrang ed that, when the window was hoisted the “cap would pop and down come the nig ger.” To the surprise of the entire com munity, on Sunday morning, the 4th, the local colored preacher, who had prayed, preached and shouted until a late hour the night befpre, was found prostrate near the window with the side of his head caved'in.” Hiring a penitentiary is rather a queer kind of speculation. That of the State of Missouri (with all the inmates there at present and likely to come) has been leased to four gentlemen, who agree to pay all the expenses of the prison and a bonus of SI,OOO to the State, w hich re tains, we suppose, the appointment of most of the officers of the prison. The convicts will lie worked for the benefit of the lessees and it is estimated that Mis souri will save over SIOO,OOO annually l>v this convenient arrangemnt. It is stated that Agramonte, the Cuban leader, committed suicide rather than fall captive in the hands of the Spaniards. Gen. Agramonte, was a brother to Mr. A. Agramonte formerly a citizen of this county. A California paper seriously announc es that Capt. Jack Ims divided Jhis army of fifty men into three divisions; the first, under the captain, is to sweep northward and subdue Oregon, while the t bird forc es its way over the mountains and sage hush and devastates Nevada and Utah. k ‘l*nin Killer.” There can be no necessity, at tbi; late ilay. ; for the press to speak in conimendatorj terms ot ! this remarkable medicine., in order to promote its sale; tor it is a medicine that is known and appreciated the wide world ibrorgb.
