V/e return our thanks to the proprietors of the Atlanta Constitution, for a complimentary pass on their special train from -Macon to Atlanta during the month of August. We learn that Sheriff Keen, of Lauens county, who was recently stabbed in the shoulder, will soon be able to take charge of his business again. Mr. Malcolm Johnson, for some time past the Assistant Secretary of the State Agiicul- tural Society, has been elected Secretary, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Col. Barnett. Several hundred French Imperialists held a very enthusiastic meeting at Chiselhurst, on the 35th inst., and celebrated the fete day of the late Emperor. Prince Louis Napoleon made a speech, and was vociferously cheered by the crowd. It is announced that a proclamation to re establish the Monarchy in France will be made in about six weeks. Count Chambord has expressed his resolution to accept a con stitution for France, and will rule both by the will of God, and the goodwill of the peo ple. The Southern Historical Association met at Montgomery White Sulphur.Springs, and adopted resolutions making Richmond as headquarters ofthesociety forthefuture. Gen. Jubal A. Early was chosen President, with one Vice President in each Southern State. 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 make the attempt in a short while to cross the Atlantic ocean in a balloon, which is to be called “The Daily Graphic,” in honor of the illustrated daily newspaper of that name in New York City. 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 thanks. The proceedings are in phamphlet form, neatly printed, and evinces the skill ful workmanship of the Times office. 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 than five minutes. Pike accused Baer of 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 arts of L m 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 MARRIED, On the evening of the 14th inst, by the Rev. Wiley F. Rogers, Mr. Jesse S. Lee, of Snmter county, and Miss Mattie E.

Flanders, all of Johnson county. 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, 25 ; of cotton spindles in Georgia, 79,057; of woolen factories in Georgia, 5 ; of woolen spindles in Georgia, 872; of carding machines in Georgia, 64; of iron furnaces and foundries 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- soon pursued by an officer of the law, who selves of “college starch.” Be of good cheer being intimidated by the threats of Sanders, giving him an opportunity of escape, which did and is now at large. Hastily yours Ac., T. J. Smith. 1'oinpaii.y Sleeting. 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 ry Taylor. S. B. Jones addressed the meeting upon the probable cost of the material. No other business, the meeting adjourned until the 4th Saturday, the 23d of August. M. NEWmAN, Chairman. H. N. IIollifield, Sec’y. 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. Last Week’s Cotton Figures.—The New Commercial Chronicle of Saturday, reports receipts of the seven days ending the 15th, at 10,581 bales, against 10,684 bales last week, 12,255 bales the previous week, and 12,618 bales three weeks since, making the total receipts since the, first of Sept., 1872, 3,597,739 bales against 2,714,436 bales for the aame period of 1871-72, showing an increase since September 1, 1872, of 883,303 bales. The interior ports showed the following figures: Receipts of the week 2,943 bales against 371 the same week lsst year. Ship ments 5,332 against 1,099. Stock 19,565 against 5,975. The Chronicle’s Visible Supply Table showed 2,200,670 bales, against 2.311,273 last year, and 2,025,677 the year previous, indica ting a decrease on last year’s stock of 110,- 603 bales, and an increase of 175,003 on the Stock the 15th of August, 1871. Two gentlemen in Laurens county, C. G. Bush and W. J. Parker, while on their way to attend to their fish baskets in the Oconee river, on the 16th inst., received a shock from 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. boys, yon will have wiser and older heads to assist you in the future. 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.” Yours Ac., Participator. P. S. I forgot to say in the proper place that my young friend W’s horse ran away with his buggy, and demolished a box of pa per collars for Joe H and he was heard to exclaim : “Misfortune does not always wait on vice Nor is success the constant guest of virtue.’’ P. A friend writing us from Laurens county, says crops are better than they have been in several years, and especially corn. The following are the officers of Davisboro Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, organized some weeks since: Henry G. Wright, Worthy Master; H. H. Davis, Overseer; W. A. Morgan, Lecturer; O. H. P. Beall, Chaplain; T. W. Harwick, Treasurer; T. L. Brown, Secretary; N. H. Jordan, Steward; John J. Jordan, Assistant Steward; W. H. Harris, Gate Keeper; Mrs. T. L. Brown, Ceres; Mrs. T. W. Hardwick, Pomona; Mrs. A. T. Cheatham, Flora; Mrs. C. D. Hardwick, Lady Assistant Steward. 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. New Advertisements. Election Notice.
