[mar. 14—3m The negroes begun an insurrection in Lou- iseana, in Grant parish, and Colfax township. They numbered about 4000, thoroughly arm ed. They had been attacked, and after some furious fightingthey,-displayed a flag of truce The negroes took refuge in the court house, from where they opened fire. The court house was then fired, and the negroes were shot as they came out of the burning build ing; -it is reported that 80 or 100 were! killed and there were none to be found for miles around. The ring leader and thejwhte allies escaped. A fatal case of accidental poisoning occurr ed in Atlanta last Tuesday evening. Dr. Craig and Judge Pullum of the drug house of Heard, Craig, & Co, went into their chemical laboratory to take a drink of whiskey togeth er. \ As -Judge Pullum was complaining of feeling rather badly, Mr. Jones the Chemist, proposed that they put a little of the elixir of orange peel in their drinks. They agreed and Mr. Jones took from the laboratory what he thought was the elixir of orange peel, and “dashed” their drinks with it. He prepared a drink for himself, likewise, and the three drank together. In a little while they were all taken sick, and the idea of poison flash ed upon them, and upon examination they discovered that they had taken aconite, a mostrdeadly poison, in their drinks. Dr. Craig died at half-past nine, that night in great ag ony. Judge Pullum and Mr. Jones were af fected considerably, hut were better, and considered out of danger when last heard from, 12 o’clock Tuesday night. Important to Planters. We have been requested to call the atten tion of formers to the following sections of an Act passed at the lost session of the Legis lature, entitled an act to provide for the an nual collection and publication of statistics of the agricultural preducts and resources of thisifitate. Section L Be it enacted dkc., That, from and after the passage of this act, itohall be the _duty. of the Receiver of Tax Retains, or thepereon acting as such in each county in this State, by the usual time of closing the Receiver’s books in every year, ts obtain from every person engaged in agriculture in bis county a statement on oath ef the number of acres as near as practicable, he or she has planted that year, in each of the farm crops.

I lift tljje reader to finish, that sumptuous fish breakfast at the hospitable board of^Dr. B. Well it is vain for me to attempt to de scribe that feast. But one thing was lacking to make it perfect: A lady to preside at the head of the table. Be it not understood that onr friend is devoid of that indispensible source of perfect domestic bliss—a good wife—but his accomplished lady was .absent on a visit to relatives in distress, much to our regret. Breakfast over, a delightful drive behind the Doctor’s fast honesfone of which has made some notoriety upon the turf, brought us back to the temple of Justiee. Not having had an opportunity of reading my last letter, I fear I shall repeat or omit in this. Another day at the Court-ground, and I am off to share the. hospitality of an other of the clever citizens of this eounty, sojourning eight miles in a different direc tion from the Court-house to any that I had traveled before. My object was to see as much as possible of the country, soil, etc. Here I spent another pleasant night, the last for me for the present in Bullock' county, though I hope to spend many more among this clever pSople ere life’s labors are done. No section of our grand old eommon- wealth is more independent of the world outside than this. The soil is easy of culti vation, easily cleared and produces almost every article of food necessary for man or beast. At this season of the year, the woods are like a mammoth wheat-field, swarming with sleek cattle, sheep and game. Wheat cannot be produced here, owing to rust. Oats, on the contrary, grow to almost per fection. Much of the fine timber (pine) of Bullock county was destroyed in 1824 by a tornado that swept over it. Yet there is much remaining, and it is fast being brought into requisition. Uncle Sam has not done bis duty to this portion of his domain in regard to postal-ar rangements. If our Federal law-makers, in stead of voting to increase their own pay,’ would appropriate, a small portion of the amount thus improperly taken from the pub lic treasury to the establishing of mail routes in this and in seotions like situated, tho country would be greatly benefited thereby. Having formed the acquaintance of Mr. H, one of the most whole souled gentlemen with whom I have ever met, and who kindly gave me a seat to No 7. I bade adieu to mine host of the Fletcher house—whose ambi tion, by the by, seems to be to leave nothing within his power undone, that will add to the comfort of his guests—and turned my •face homeward once more, enjoying eh route a pleasant evening at Scarboro. A few hours rest and I am “on the wing” again, this time destined for Wilkinson. At No 16, it does not take long to arouse Charlie Roberts, and soon he and “Tobe’> are in readiness, and we all arrive just in good time to partake of a sumptuous break fast with Mrs. Baum. My [stay here was necessarily very short—only one day—and my time devoted almost exclusively to busi ness. This was Judge Bartlett’s first Court in Wilkinson. He is said to be very stric t in the Court-room, and to dispatch business rapidly. Parties and witnesses are not per mitted to be called at the door, as formerly, but must be present when wanted or take the consequences. As in many other sections, the cotton-cu- ano fever is quite prevalefit in Wilkinson?” J I was pained to find Dr. T. A. Simmons on a bed of death. He died on Friday last, leaving a young family disconsolate. Dr. S. was an excellent Physician, a good citizen and most beloved by the people. His loss to the community is great. Bidding adieu to 'good old Wilkinson I turn again toward the green fields and tall pines of the long grass region. Little did I. anticipate the sadjnews that was in store for me. Knowing that it was Col. A. W. Daley’s custom to attend Montgomery Superior Court, I purposed calling and spending the night tinder his hospitable roof and then having a pleasant ride with him to M’t. Vernon. Im agine my feelings upon meeting with a member of his family , and learning that my staunch old friend had died on the Thursday before. Peace to his ashes. CoL Daley was for many years a prominent citizen of Tatnall county, and had represented with credit his District in the State Senate. My journey to-day was anything but pleas ant. About ten o’clock rain commenced foil ing and continued until in the afternoon The road, naturally hard to find, in many places was completely blocked up by fallen timber prostrated by the fearful 6torm of the 8th. The hand of Him who holds the winds in his grasp seemed to have held the blast above the tops of the houses and to have pro tected human life. I heard of some injury to stock, one man reporting a number killed. At almost every bouse, many of them for from railroad communication, was to be seen the inevitable guano barrel or sack, showing how widespread is the thirst for commercial manures. On a portion of my route the country is very sparsely settled, many miles intervening between habitations. The scene was often enlivened, however, by herds of fat cattle, feasting upon the tender grass, and roaming the forest at will. Milk and butter, so highly valued elsewhere, seems to be little cared for, the cattle being raised for beet Thursday morning brought me to the Court-house, and right glad was I to be there. Court was in Bession, his Honor, Judge A. C. Pate, presiding, with the follow ing Attorneys present: Capt. R A. Stanly, Solictor, CoL Stabbsand J. W. Conner, Esq., of Dublin; CoL Josephus Camp and Messrs. Ward & King, of Swainsboro; CoL L Beasly, of Reidsville; Judge J. R L. Allen, of Wrigbtsville; H. W.J.Ham.'Esq., of Eastman; J. E.fKicks,Esq., of ML Vernon. Jndge Pate, I am proud to say, is a native of Washington eounty, and never will she blush to call him son. He is quite a young man yet, and has attained his present eminence by a life of unswerving integrity and devotion to his pro fession. CapL Stanly, Solicitor, is one of the most pleasant, affable gentlemen with whom I ever meL His kind heart would prompt him to act rather for. those in’trouble than as a prosecuting attorney. Yet as an officer of the State he is fearless and faithful, and woe betide the guilty criminal who comes before him for prosecution. As there is much that I desire to say about the good people of Montgomery, my pleas ant sojourn among them ,my journey to Dub lin, the latter and its improvements, beauties and attractions, I shall have to defer the matter to another issue., I expect to be with the clever people of Emanuel during a por tion of next week. , , y. , »«»»< The gas men of the New York works are still on a strike. , The Decline of Republicanism- i. - j r •‘Oh! love of country, once how sacred deem’d ’ Oh! sad reverse of manners oi m’d" To those who have a reverence for the free, 1 simple republican institutions established by. our forefathers,' it is appalling to see how swiftly we are drifting—yea, drifting upon the current of events which is steadily bearing ns farther and farther from the old landmarks of liberty. That love of country which was, in “auld lang syne,” deemed sacred by every patriot, has been blunted by the overweening self love of individuals; public spirit has been over run by a fearful spirit* df selfish aggrandisement, and laws have been pervert ed, and legislation polluted, by corrupt and avaricious officials. But it seems that the present deplorable and almost forlorn condition of the “best government the world ever saw,” is attributa ble to some radical defect in the incipient or ganization of the government Our system, of government it seems, is an assumed posi tion. We assume that all men ato equal, that all are possessed of intelligence sufficient to. direct and choose, and govern aright Our elective system, by a strict and correct con struction, presupposes ’ the' intelligence of every elector. Again, those whom we elect are presumed to possess integrity of charac ter, with intelligence. We decide important questions by the ballot box,[on he assumption of the intellection of every mas, and wdhccept the choice of the majority as Correct We have no restrictions orjfemialifications for Voters. Universal suffrago*exists, and itjs not our purpose now to discuss the equity, or- iniquity of the rule ; it exists, and we- must make the.most of it we can. Tho political substratum of onr government is the hypothesis of these two things, intelli gence and integrity, and upon -the theroy that every man is capable of choosing aright, and of self-government, we decidff matters at tho ballot box. But the practice has not been all the time in. harmony with the theory, nor has the theory proved sufficient to pro mote the interests of republicanism nor of mankind. But what then; shall we disced the theory Us impracticable and accept Imperial ism as the only correct form of government for man. No, but let every man receive in struction, and endeavor to make the practice of our government accord with the theory. But the tendency seems now to be to Tm- perialism, and can it be averted now by the ballot-box? Is there sufficient force in that to change the tendency, and restore an equilibrium in the government ? Is not the ballot-box already too much under the con trol of vicious demagogues, and is not the venality of the balloters too nearly a foregone conclusion, to hope to avert the direful cal amity which seems to threaten true republi-. can principles and our free institutions ? An apathy seems to have come over the people, a lack of the proper public spirit seems to be upon all, a dreadful inactivity seems to have come over all, and while this is even so, tho chains of despotism are being fastened upon us almost unconsciously by thejinsidi- ous artifices of designing men. Beware, be ware. If some ambitious American Napoleon should attempt an extraordinary coup d'etat to establish Imperialism in-America,’ is the in telligence and integrity of the masses who are at present allowed to express their wills by important privilege of the ballot-box, suffi ciently sound to resist the pressure, and tarn off the calamity? -The only remedy i&for the peoplp to awakafroia.th^i indifference; arouse- from their apatiy..The highest duty which any citizen may discharge to his government, is to maintain the right and ? never sacrifice a good principle. Elder Will C. Moreau. Elsewhere in our columns will be found a Card from this gentleman in reply to the very bitter attack made upoii him by the Indian apolis Sentinel which is now going the rounds of the sensational press. Mr. Korean has placed in our hands evidence which not only shows the truth of the charges of the Senti nel article to be impossible, but also goes to show the true reason of that Journal’s war upon him ; he does not ask any one to take his statements, but only asks q fair exami nation of the evidence be offers. Mr. Moreau has been a strong, bitter partisan, and by his pronounced and vigorqp3 course during and since the war has won for himself the fierce and scourging hate and enmity of the Radi cal party all over the country, and last year when he enlisted with the “straight outs,” the Sentinel, which, os we see from other papers, has been profuse in its commendations of him, became most bitter and savage in its war against him, and this last article is but a con tinuation of that war. W$ speak from our own knowledge when we say that sincehe has been with ns, 3D. Korean’s conduct has been unexceptionable. We have been associated with him very often, and we have never yet detected anything in his deportment that was unbecoming a gen- tleraan and a Christian. He has given his whole time to the service of the churches and seems to be really in earnest And just it appears to us that on excellent opportunity is offered to all of us to exorcise a great deal of Christian forbearance and eharity, in other words, to “practice what we preach” Re member the divine injunction, “Prove all things ; hold fast that which is good.” He may be called a hypocrite, but we dp not know bis heart; bear in mind the precept, “Judge not thatye be not judged." They say be is a man of evil designs, but he has not demonstrated, it here. We read from the word of God, “there is none good, no, not one.” He "does not claim immunity from errors of the past ;he frankly admits that he has committed many errors, and “an honest con fession is good for the souL” Remember the precept of Christ .when the poor sinful woman was brought before him for condemnation, “Let him that is without sin cast the first stone. ” Whatever may have been his antece dents , his sojourn here has certainly been a bright spot,—a fertile Oasis of good,—in his desert life of evil, and may he he enabled to * live so that all his future life may be. filled with good deeds, and may his good works not be impeded by the aspersions of calumny. igly vitupei the" AtlantaH apolis Sentinel.
