Hon. Jefferson Davis—How he came to
be President of the Confederate States.
We noticed in the Macon Telegraph & Mes
senger, of the 16th, inst., a paragraph from
Senator Foote s Reminiscences, also an edito
rial paragraph, in regard to how Mr. Davis
became President. Now it appears that both
Senator Foote and the Telegraph St* Messenger
are mistaken in the matter. Mr. Davis was
not opposed in the Convention by either
Gen. Ilowcil Cobb or Gen. Toombs, although
both of these gentlemen were mentioned by
the Georgia Delegation as proper men for the
office of President, but after a consultation
among the Delegates, it was ascertained that
Mr. Davis’ name would be submitted. In
the conference of the Georgia Delegation,
Hon. A. H. Stephens proposed to submit
Gen. Toombs’ name, but when it was under
stood that two or three of the States had
determined on the night of the 8th of Feb-
ruary, 1861, to present the name of Mr. Davis,
it was decided, at Mr. Toombs’ own instance,
that his (Gen. Toombs’) name would not be
presented to the Convention, and the Geor
gia Delegation would vote for Mr. Davis, and
have no contest on the subject The election
for officers of the Provisional Government
came on the 9th, of February, 1861. We here
quote what Mr. Stephens says of the elec tion
in his “History of the War between the States.”
“On that day, as is known, Mr. Jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, received the unani
mous vote of the six States then present, for
the office of Vice President; and in like man
ner I was elected to the office of Vice Presi
dent, Mr. Davis was not at Montgomery.
He was in Mississippi It was generally
understood from statements made by
the Mississippi delegation, as well as
from others who knew his personal views
upon the subject, that he did not desire
the office of President. He preferred a mili
tary position, and the one he desired above
all others was the chief command of the
Army, which the States might deem it neces
sary to organize.” Thus it will be seen that
Mr. Davis did not desire the office of Presi •
dent, and his desire to have a military posi
tion is the more reasonable when we consider
the fact that he was a graduate at West Point.
It also appears as a fact that Mr. Davis did
not defeat by one vote either Gen. Cobb, or
Gen. Toombs, as the name of neither of theso
gentlemen was submitted to the Convention
at all, and Mr. Davis was unanimously elect
ed by the six States which were present.
Those who desire to make a more particu
lar reference to the matter, are cited to Mr.
Stephens’ “History of the War between tho
States, Vol. II, pages 328, 329, 330, and
331.”
Prof. Wise, a celebrated aeronaut, will

At the recent session of the State Agricul
tural Convention, at Athens, Col. Capers
introduced a resolution recommending a
Constitutional Convention for the State, to
amend our organic laws so as to make them
conform to the material interests of the
State.
An important feature of the farmer’s Con
vention last week was the presence of the
Patrons of Husbandry. Ninety Granges
were represented. We learn that there are
now something over a hundred Granges in
this State, and they will perhaps average
forty members each.
Col. McKinley, of Milledgeville, made an
address before the Agricultural Convention
at Athens last week, an Land and Labor.
He advocates the plan of adopting in the
South the old tenantry system of England.
He believes that to be the proper plan for
utilizing negro labor.
We have received a printed copy of the
proceedings of our late Press Convention,
for which copy Mr. Christian, editor of the
Tliomasville Times, and the efficient Sec
retary of the G. P. A., will please accept our

form, neatly printed, and evinces the skill

Carl F. Baer, a German, was shot and kill
ed by L. B. Pike, of the same nationality, in
Macon, on last Tuesday, the 19th inst. He
was shot through the heart and died in less

insulting his. Pike’s, wife. Baer denied the
charge to the last. Pike did not attempt to
escape, and was arrested and imprisoned.
President Grant’s salary since the recent
“grab law” went into operation, is about one
hundred and thirty-seven dollars a day, with
house, fuel, lights, stables, and dog-kennels
free. This is a nice little sum to snatch out
of the taxpayers every day, to afford Grant
the luxury of loafing all the summer “on the
beach at Long Branch.”
Hon. Garnett Andrews, Judge of the North
ern Circuit, died at his home in Washington,
Wilkes county, on the 14th, inst. in the seven-
ty-fiifth year of his age. He had long been
in public life, and had won a high and hon
orable distinction. He was an able jurist,
and his integrity upon the bench is said to
have been unimpeachable. He ranked with
the ablest lawyers of the State.
Barbecue.
Having been the recipient of a kind invi
tation last week from our genial friend, .Mr.
Jas. G. Brown, to take a barbecue dinner
with him on Friday, we of course accepted,
and at once set our head for it, with the pur
pose of setting our teeth on it when the pro
per time should come, accordingly on Friday
morning we left town in company with Judge
Jones, and after a pleasant ride, we arrived
at Mr. Brown’s, about four miles from our lit
tle city. Upon our arrival we met several
friends and acquaintances who had preceded
us, and several ladies also, and we at once
felt that we would enjoy the day finely, for
we knew the jolly nature of some of the
guests, and the clever, hospitable disposition
of our host, -Mr. Brown. He was prepared
to suit the tastes of all his guests, and as there
were a few who were not positively Good
Templars, as a matter of course they all
“took sugar in the'r’n.” As it was a sociable
crowd, all joined in discussing topics of a ;
general character, making jokes, and repar- j
tee, until the time for dinner. We had in I
the crowd one ‘ ‘pliat phellow” who was jovial
as he was “phat,” and he was the subject of
much good humor for all. Also our friend
with a new collar on, was the object of much
solicitude on the part of another, for fear he
would choke, but he worried along in the
forenoon, and at the dinner table we believe
he managed to shove his ’c ue about as success
fully as any body else, and he saved his col
lar whole, too, Another friend was there,
who, it seems, was expecting for something
to turn up, and went with new pants, with
the buttons well fastened on, and a pair of
new shoes with elastic in them. It isscarcely
necessary to say that they were well filled
when he left for home. And yet another
friend was there, who, it seems, whether in
trouble or pleasure, “knows how it is him
self” to to stand in another mans shoes. His
was a peculiar case, and it seemed like in
nocence under difficulties.
The dinner was excellent; there was a rich
abundance of all that would be agreeable to
taste or would satiate the appetite, and it was
full evidence that Mrs. Brown is an excellent
matron. The day was one of much pleasure
and good humor, and will long be remem
bered by those who participated. What a
pleasant country ours would be, indeed, if
such generous and social neighbors as Mr. B.
and his amiable wife, were only more numer
ous. We are much indebted to them for the
enjoyment of the day, and on our own part
and in behalf of others who attended from
our city, we return our sincere thanks, and
extend to Mr. and Mrs. B. our best wishes
for their future happiness and prosperity.
& heavy storm prevailed in several of the
Northern States last week, doing considera
ble damage in several places, injuring the
Railroads, and causing the mails to be de
tained for some time. At Philadelphia it is
stated that the rain fall was more than seven
inches in depth. The first floor of the Manay-
unk Mills was covered with water. A man
named John L. Major was drowned while at
tempting to rescue his horses from a stable
which was flooded.
A Grange at Gordon.
Wilkinson County, Ga., Aug. 18,1873.
Editors Ilerald: Gordon Grange, Patrons
of Husbandry, was organized by Col. T. J.
Smith, Grand Master of the State of Georgia,
on Saturday last, with 29 Charter members.
The following officers were elected:
W. M. Whitehurst, Master; John Swint,
Overseer; J. B. Carroll, Leturer; Baldwin
Bridges, Chaplain; John Barfield, Steward; :
Daniel Swint, Assistant Steward; C. H. I
Branan, Treasurer; E. J. Massey, Secretary;
T. Q. Ii. Balkcum, Gate Keeper; Mrs. W. M.
Whitehurst, Ceres; Mrs. E. J. Massey, Po
mona; Miss Annie Bridges, Flora; Mrs. W.
H. Fitzpatrick, Lady Assistant Steward.
This makes the fourth Grange in Wilkinson
county, as follows: Toombsboro Grange, Dr.
Wm. Taylor, Master; Irwinton Grunge, Wm.
A. Hall, Sr., Master; Wilkinson Grange, R.
H. Carswell, Master.
Fraternally yours,
Patron.
Since writing the above I hear that two
other Granges are ready for organization,
one at Glenella and one at Rozer’s Store.
Letter from Col. T. J. Smith.
White Bluff, August 18, 1873.
Editors Herald: The State Agricultural Con
vention, at its recent session in Athens, ap
pointed a committee of five, viz: Col. Grier,
of Jones; Mr. Adams, of Monroe; Gen. Phil
ips, of Cobb; Capt Holt, of Bibb; and my
self, to confer with the Rail Road authorities,
relative to the transporting of the county dis
plays to Macon, as competitors for those
handsome prizes, offered by the State Agri
cultural Society, at its next Fair, and I am
happy to inform you we were successful in
our efforts, and that all the Rail Roads in
Georgia will transport the county displays
free of charge. This magnanimity and lib
erality displayed by our Rail Roads, should
be appreciated by every tiller of the soil in
our State, and grant that it may prove an act
that will remove the unfortunate hostility ex
isting between the people and the Rail Roads.
This arrangement of free transportation
dispels any idea of a doubt as to the grand
success of the next State Fair in Macon. Such
an exhibition has never been equaled in the
South, and the competition in the county
displays will be most formidable. Ten coun
ties have already arrayed themselves, by en
tering, and several others are seriously con
sidering, and no doubt our success in pro
curing free transportation will induce them
to contest. Cobb, Monroe, Bibb, Coweta,
Butts, Floyd, DeKalb, Clayton, Terrell and
Washington, have enlisted and we see now
that Washington will have to bestir herself,
and leave no opportunity or effort unimprov
ed. What has become of those worthy gen
tlemen appointed as committees to canvass
their respective districts in the interest of
Washington county efforts? Wake up, gen
tlemen, and see to it that your efforts will
arouse our people to the importance of ener
getic actions. The successful county will be
entitled to wear a lnurel that will glitter in
its brilliancy, and will take its place, as it will
be entitled to do, as the banner county in
Georgia. If by chance Washington county
fails to be the Banner county, let it not be
for want of effort; if we fail, let it be with
our faces to the front.
The meeting of the State Grange was a
happy and a fortunate call, was largely atten
ded, and will prove to be fruitful of much
good to the order in Georgia, your paper
stands in the front with the Granges of the
Patrons of Husbandry. About one hundred
Granges are now organized in Georgia, and
the order is daily growing in favor, and our
only apprehensions are, that in such haste to
accommodate the wishes of the people, some
improper persons may be numbered among
the applicants or Charter members. Great
caution has been advised against this to our
Deputies, and I trust they will be vigilant
and keep our order purged of all improper
persons. In all the Granges I have the hon
or to organize, I am resolved on none other
than good material, and their leading pur
suit must be planting, as ruled by the mem
bers of the State Grange. I was detained at
Gordon Saturday, on my return from the
State Agricultural convention, and meeting
of the State Grange, to organize a Grange
there, and whilst there, witnessed the unfor
tunate killing of Mr. Charles Kelly, son-in-
law of Mr. Solomons, of Gordon. From the
best information I could get, the difficulty
was caused by Mr. Kelly, as an officer in the
Confederate army, refusing to give Mr. San
ders, his antagonist, a furlough while in the
army. Whiskey had much influence in this
unfortunate difficulty, the deceased being
much under its influence. Mr. Sanders left
Gordon immediately after the killing, was

The Agricnlturttf Return of Georgia.
We copy the following aggregate returns of
the agricultural products of the State from
the Atlanta Constitution. Our readers will
remember that we published about two weeks
ago the specific returns of this county. As
appears here, our county stands second in
the State, in the return of agricultural pro
ducts. Now there is only one step more,
and we may be first. Let us make the effort
at our next Fair, and at the State Fair.
Several counties have already entered for one
of the large premiums offered at the State
Fair, but with the fact before us that but one
county is ahead of us now, we ought to feel
encouraged, and still make our efforts more
vigorous, and forteful. Let us go into the
contest to win. It is no small matter, and
every man and woman ought tc feel a deep
interest in it. Rouse, ye farmers, rouse ye
merchants, rouse, ye Patrons of Husbandry,
rouse, ye maids and matrons, be active, let us
win, and show to Ihe world that Washington
is the Banner county of Georgia:
Our efficient Comptroller General and his
assistants yesterday completed the footing
of the books returned by the various tax re
ceivers throughout the State. In the table of
aggregates which we give below the returns of
the entire State are included, with the excep
tion ot twelve counties. The tax receivers
for these counties up to yesterday afternoon
had not sent in their books, but they .will
probably do so in a few days. On account of
novelty of these returns, many of the

OBITUARY.
receivers have failed to understand thorough
ly how they were to be taken, although print
ed instructions :nd forms were distributed
to each from the Comptroller’s office. Con
sequently some of the items are by no means
perfectly reliable. Thus many of the receivers,
by mistake, failed to ascertain the number
of cattle, stock etc., or acres planted in vine
yards, orchards, potatoes etc., in the cities,
but obtained these returns only for the coun
ties exclusive of the towns. This makes a
grave difference in the aggregates, for in
many counties the towns contain nearly as
much live stock, and more vineyards or or
chards than the balance of the county put
together.
The other returns may be relied upon as
comparatively accurate. Number of acres
planted in cotton, 1,702,169;}; in rice, 6,95*2};
in wheat, 278,057}; in rye, 18,668}; in barley,
602}; in oats, 354,304}; in Indian com, 1,-
791,468 ; in sweet potatoes, 33,949} ; in Irish
potatoes, 940} ; in tobacco, 411} ; in sugar
cane, 5,857}; in sorghum, 3,481 ; in clover
and seed, 16,451} ; in vineyards, 333}; in
orchards, 83,349}; number of acres planted
in peanuts, 15,413} ; number of sheep in
Georgia, 471,084 ; of dogs in Georgia, 115,874;
of hogs in Georgia, 730.814; of horses and
mules in Georgia, 139,597 ; of cattle in Geor
gia, 543,833; of cotton factories in Georgia,

in Georgia, 10. Houston county returns the
largest quantity of land in cultivation of any
one county, and Appling the largest number
of cattle. Washington is next to Houston in
its return of agricultural products.
Pic Nic at Wartlieu’s Mills.
Editors Herald: As was expected, the Pic
nic at Warthen’s Spring on Tuesday the I2th
inst,, passed off as pleasantly as possible,
and iudeed was a gala day,—but who ever
heard of a failure among the young people of
that beat, to get up something nice in the
way of an entertainment. The two young gen
tlemen Messrs G. A C. claim all the honor
for its success, and so assiduously did they
perform their role as managers, that they
denied themselves the pleasure of participa
ting in any of the forenoon’s amusements. In
the afternoon, however, they joined the fes
tive throng, and soon were lost in the giddy
maze. I have understood that in secret cau
cus, they have solemnly affirmed that they
will never undertake to boss another Picnic,
at least not until they have relieved them-

Court-house, Sandersville, Aug. 9, ’73.
A special meeting of the Washington Ri
fles was held this day. The Honorary mem
bers of the Company were invited to take
partin the deliberations, and on motion, M.
Newman was called to the chair, and Dr. H.
N. Hollifield appointed Secretary.
The Chair called upon the Captain tp ex
plain the object of the meeting which was for
the purpose of deciding some plan by which
money could be raised to nniform the Com
pany. Dr. A. Mathis asked information as
to the cost and character of uniform where
and by whom to be made, and suggested the
propriety of purchasing the material and
having them made at home.
On motion of Sergeant S. M. Northington,
it was ordered that the names of the Honor
ary members of the Company be entered up
on the minutes of the meeting of to-day.
On motion of E. A. Sullivan, a committee
of six was appointed to solicit contributions
to assist in uniforming the Company. The
said committee to consist of Honorary mem
bers, viz : Dr. A. Mathis, T. Warthen, T. M.
Kennedy, W. M. Moses, J. C. Harman, Hen

Messrs. M. A. Evans & Co. write us that
they go North in a few days to lay in their
stock of Fall Goods. They expect to bring
out one of the most complete and attractive
stocks of goods ever offered to the people of
Georgia. We do love vim and enterprise,
coupled with high toned, unswerving integ
rity. These virtues are prominant features
in the house named above.

lightning, which struck them down, and
they remained on the bank of the river all
night in a comatose condition, while no one
else knew of the circumstance. They were
partially paralyzed, but were recovering at
last accounts. Dr. J. L. Linder was called
to attend them.

But to the Picnic,—about one hundred
and fifty eaters, talkers, dancers, fiddlers,
cigarists, a slight sprinkling of beaver hatists
and one little “yaller dorg” were in atten
dance.
The springs are situated about 9 miles
north of your city, and one S. W. of War-
then’s Store. Their waters are highly preg-
nated with mineral. I handed some round
to the ladies. One said it tasted like ink,
another that it tasted like rotten eggs. I told
this last one I could’nt differ with her as I
had never tasted eggs in that condition.
At about 10 o’clock A. M. the music struck
upon that popular old tune. “who’s been
her^ since I’se been gone,” and “then sich
another gittin up I never seed the like” till
dinner was announced. Then the ladies
gallanted we gentlemen to the table. There’s
no use in saying what we had, but a table 75
feet long was loaded down with’cakes, jellies,
salads, pickles, chicken, barbecued pig, ham,
boiled,baked, and grated,
There was champion Fatty
Both broad and squatty
And corporation of great extent,
There was Baldie Pate
Both early and late
With a little “yailer dorg” wher’er he went.
Messrs Editors, your city was represented
by some of her choicest flowers. Misses M.
H. R. J. & H. and what would the picnic
have been if Tennille had not contributed
her flower to the handsome boquet.
We gentlemen ns decided by the ladies
were all handsome, except the four imperial^
gents who by a peculiar tonsorial operation
would induce the credulous young ladies to
consider them handsome, and the elite of
fashion—no go my boys, try another line.
Thus passed a day of enjoyment and pleas
ure, and in the language of Byron:
I cannot think of sorrow now; and doubt
If e’er I felt it—’tis so dazzled from
My memory, by this oblivious transport.”

The following are the officers of Davisboro
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, organized
some weeks since:

We regret to learn that Maj. Charlie Kelly,
formerly of this county but for many years a
citizen of Gordon, was killed by a Mr. San
ders on Saturday last. Deceased was son-in-
law to Judge David Solomons, and during
the latter part of the late war was Major of
the 14th Georgia Regiment.
Died, at the residence of Mrs. Mary Rowe,
in Bulloch county, on the 3rd inst., Mr.
Isaiah Beasley, aged 84 years.
Died, in Thomas county, Gn., on the 1st
inst, little Hattie, daughter of John B. and
Amelia Everett, aged 5 years, 9 months and
27 days. She was a child of rare beauty,
lovely and affectionate in her disposition,
and remarkably intelligent for one of her
age. She was the pet and favorite of her pa
rents and relatives, and wherever she went
attracted the notice and admiration of all,
not alone with her sweet face, but by her
gentle, obedient ways. Weep not fond pa
rents, for God in his wisdom has taken little
Hattie to himself to bless her.
Yes, He has blest thee! Thou art gone
Above, a brighter home to find!
But thou hast left, dear little one,
A darker earth for us behind.
Died, in Emanuel county, on the 7th of
August, 1S73, Mrs. Map.y Lou Oglesby,
daughter of William Stephens, aged 27 years,
7 months and 20 days. She was married the
18th of March, 1869. Has been a consistent
member of Mount Tabor (Baptist) church for
the past three years. She was an obedient
daughter, an affectionate sister, and as a wife
and mother her love knew no bounds. She
leaves a husband and two little children, (a
son and daughter,) a father, several brothers
and sisters and a large circle of friends to
mourn their loss. But thanks to an allwise
God, I have not a single doubt that our loss
is her eternal gain in heaven; and while we
are grieved and sorrow stricken, I feel asured
that she is rejoicing in that celestial city with
God and the angels.
Please bear with me,and permit me to state
to you her last conversation while in this
low ground of sorrow. Whc-n she was locked
in the cold embrace of death,and the clammy
sweat ran freely off her marble brow, she said
in words that in my imagination I hear now:
“Come here sis,” taking my hand; “I want
to talk with you.” When i’ got to her bed
side she took my hand in hers and said, “Sis
don’t you want to see mother ?” (our mother
has been dead ever since before our recol
lection.) I told her I did. She said, “come
go with me. I am with her, and mother said
there is but two of us and she wants us both
to go to her together.” I then asked her
where mother was She said, “O, sis, she is
in heaven, and I want you to meet us there.”
She looked me full in the face—O, that dy
ing look—and said, “you don’t want my
babe.” I told her if she wanted me to have
it, I was willing to do all I could for it.J. Then
she said, “I fear you dont want it, as you
are young and it will be so much trouble to
you.” She then told me that I was the only
one she wanted to have it. It was but’seven-
teen days old when she left it, and I have
taken it, andjdo, if I know my own heart, pray
that the great God may enable me to do my
part by it. I then said, “sister do you think
that you will die, and are yon willing and
prepared. She said “yes, I am dying, and
am perfectly willing and ready to go.” Her
husband then came to her and said, “Loula
don’t you hate to leave me and your chil
dren ?” She said that he was able to take
care of himself, and she left her children in
the hands of God. When she got through
talking she then let my hand loose, and said
that was all she had to tell me. Seeing me
weeping, she called me back, and pulling me
down to her, kissed me and said: “sis don’t
cry; shed not a tear for me, for the world
that I exchange for this is so much brighter
that I am ready.” O, such faith. She was
rational to the last breath, and was just as
calm as she ever was in her life. I guess it
was 9 o’clock at night when this conversation
took place and she died at dawn. Thus her
evening sun set to rise no more. Calmly
and sweetly she passed death’s cold flood,
and thus departed the beloved sister of my
childhood.
