-THE THOM ASTON HERALD. jT c. mcmichael & m. c. calaalss*, KDITi IRB AND PROfRIKTOR3. THOMASTON, GA., JUNE 2471871’ Till- THOMASTON HSIIALD ho* a Large Circulation in Upsoti' t*ihc 4 Mfriteethefj Talbot, Spalding, Jlom of, Eibb, Mascogee and Ilutt*. Clement L. Vnllaiullgliam. ‘‘One by one the great as well as the le=Br er lights around us are extinquished.” The latest startling and sad intelligence is the termination of the career ol the great “lead er of forlorn hopes and perilous adventures.” Mr. V illandigham shot himself accidentally while explaining bow a man could shoot himself. Many, .both North and South, sadly lament his untimely exit The Atlanta Sun of the 17 1 b inst., gives Hon. Alexander If. Stephens’ Salutatory, in which he boldly and unhesitatingly says his object will be to make the Sun the true organ of the Jeffersonian principles of the Federal Government. We consider that Mr. Stephens, with his mighty intellect and long experience, could not do more for his government, the oppressed people and for posterity than in advocating doctrines which alone can secure a perpetual and harmonic ous union of the States. He stands a huge political pyramid on the great and glorious constitution of once the best government the world has ever known. Towering aloft, on such a firm basis, his acute and far seeing intellect will discover many dark movements in the Radical ranks and expose them for the benefit of the country. France. The latest telegrams say that persons coming from Paris state that half has not been told of the troubles in that city, and that the destruction erf life and property Immensely exceeds both the govenment and newspaper accounts. The eastern lino of railway is daily crowded with Germans re turning to their homes, laden down with plunder. The workmen of Paris are almost unani mously Communist. They are much em bittered on account of the defeat ot their cause and hate both Theirs an the Boqa partes. Many of them will emigrate to America. The Papal movement to commit France to the restoration of the Popes temporal power is much ridiculed bv the press. Henry S. Foote. This poor old broken down political gambler has cut quite a figure recently in Tennessee politics by letter writing. Foote was never known to advocate out one good cause, and that was the election of Stephen A. Douglass in 1860. From our knowledge of his character, we are inclined to think that he did this for no good or pure motive of patriotism, but simply to differ with the majority of the leading men in the country. What his position was during the exciting secession times, we are not advised, nor do we know that it is material, but we do know, that during the time, or a large por tion of the time, that he misrepresented a certain District in the Confederate Con* press, he was very bitter against the United States Government. He was equally as bitter against Jefferson Davis—« because he hated Davis. He could be heard almost almost any day indulging in the bitterest words of abuse, either of the Lincoln government or of Jeff. Davis. When he could not by his “monkey-like guyrations” in abusing Jeff. Davis—not secession—provoke a laugh from a few who hated Davis also, he would turn on the Federal Government and bring “down the house,” by the most acrimonious and scur rilous abuse that any Parliamentary body, except the Confederate Congress, was ever compelled to listen to. The Confederate Congress was greatly relieved when the old creature run off, left the Confederacy and went over to the yankees. Our readers re member very well the time he attempted to pass the Confederate lines and was ar rested and returned to Richmond—and to explain away his cowardly and traitor like conduct, preteuded that he was at tempting to run over to Washington to make peace. Os course everybody believed what he said. He is now at his samo old tricks—endeavoring to obtrude himself up on the time and space of respectable news papers, by writing letters denunciatory of Jeff. Davis and secession. He pronounced Mr. Davis a huge traitor and the secession moTemeut a criminal design. This poor old fossil of a political gambler, who never had any notoriety except as a blackguard, and then only by vulgar accident—abuses a cause which he himself pretended he was helping to sustain, and has the unblush ing, dirty effrontery to dictate a course to be pursued in the approaching Presidential election by tbe_Democracy. No body wants the advise of the poor old man, and no body will pertainly be dictated to, by him. Old Foote hated Mr. Davis and any cause he might espouse, for the reason that Mr. Davis was both by nature and acquirements far his superior. Foote felt Mr. Davis’ superi ority, and like all mean envious creature*, tried during the war, an! is again trying to drag him down to his own filthy level. This, Foote can never do—for what God has made unequal, man can never make equal. The devil bates goodness and purity of heart, and as these divine graces arp perfect ed. just in thesame proportion does the hatred of the devil for them increase. So it is with poor old Foote, as to Mr. Davis and the cause to which he at one time pretended to be true. The Atlanta Sun of the 20th, presents up with the valedictory of Col C. Peeples, who but a short time since connected himself with the Sun. Rules ot TurilT# We hope the rates ot tax which we take from the Nashville Union and American will be carefully observed and considered by evety farmer and working man. You will discover at once the grand cause of oppression and hard times. You will be able to conclude that bankruptcy will be the inevitable result if such taxation is not removed. The farmer and the working man's purse is. thus squeezed to benefit government officials and monopolies. The evils which such taxation carries before it .can scarcely be imagined. The people alone have it in their power to avoid these evils. We hope they will read and think as well as work. They are the fountain from which the President and the Repre sentative emerges. They have the right and the power of choosing their officials, then let them choose such as will look to their interest. The farmer when he rises in the morning puts on his flannel shirt taxed 65 per cent., trousers 60, vest 60, over coat—cloth 60, buttons 40, braid 60, lining 60. and padding 150. He draws on boats taxed 35 per cent, puts coal taxed 60 per cent, in his stove taxed 55 per cent, boiler 40 and stove pipe 150. He sits down to his breakfast with plate knife and fork 35, seasons his food with salt taxed 108 per cent, and pepper taxed 120. and reads the Thomaston Herald, paper taxed 20 per cent, ink 35, and type 25. He puts on his hat taxed 70 per cefit, cannot smoke a Ilavanna because it is taxed 150 per cent, hitches his horse, shod with nails taxed 67 ppr eent, to a plough taxed 45 per cent, with chains taxed 100 per cent, and harness taxed 35 per cent. Goes to the store and buys for his wife a handkerchief taxed 35 per cent, a shawl 200, woolen dress 100. silk dress 60, hat 40, stockings 75, boots 35, bow 60, umbrella 60, needles 25, Coats’ thread 73, pins 35, gloves 50, books 25, rice 72, soap 70, can dles 40, paint 25* starch 50, pens 70. He gets a ballot and votes under the old Flag taxed 100 per cent, for a Free Trade Candi date for Congress. S'-ea his grain going off on Steel Rails taxed S3OOO a mile, in Iron Cars taxed 50 per cent, drawn by a Loco motive taxed 45 per cent. He now takes the last look at his tools taxed, axe anu hammer 45 per cent, scythe, reap-hook, corkscrew, pick and screw 150. spade, hoe, rake and fork 46, saw 75, penknife 50, dinner can 35, water bucket 60. The poor man, sick to death, thinking how the taniff robs him, goes to bed, made of wool taxed 20 per cent, and a blanket taxed 240 per cent. He takes his quinine taxed 45 per cent, the gum 35, window shades 35, win dow glass 55, curtains 80, wall paper 35, and bowl and pitcher 40. And this is the end ; his fate in the fol lowing epitaph. Here lies the American Farmer taxed to death by monopolists, is recorded on marble taxed 70 per cent, ana he goes where there are no tariffs. The Savannah Republican indignantly rejects the Tribune’s Atlanta correspodent’s prediction, that the old Whigs of Georgia will ultimately join the Republican party: It says: We tell the Tribune there can be no greater delusion. One or two restless spirits or disappointed aspirants may give encouragement to such a thought, but it has no root or countenance among the great body of the old Whigs. This coun try never produced a class of men who were more sincerely-attached to the principles of liber ty, to whom they would yield in their de votion to honor, truth and patriotism, or whose detestation of fraud, usurpation and wrong was more deep-seated and uncon querable. They share to the fullest extent, with their fellow-countrymen of the South, in their abhorrence of a faction that has desolated their country, sought to degrade and humiliate its brave inhabitants, dis* franchised its best people, created a gov ernment of slaves over their former masters, and has sought in every way, not only to plunder and beggar them, but to wipe out every vestige of republican liberty among them, and finally, with sacriligious hands to tear down the government itself and erect a military despotism in its stead. Such a party is at war with everv senti ment, opinion and emotion of the old Whigs of the South, and their very natures must be reversed before they can forget to scorn or learn to forgive it. The pa«t i* so full of oppression, indignity, humiliation and wrong, .that, there can be no repentance. When the old Whigs get ready to offer up themselves and their country on the alter of Mammon, then may the Radicals begin to look for recruits from their ranks. The State ol Virginia is rapidly taking up'aga’m the march pf internal improve nients which was so rudely broken off by the war. By the forming of the “Virginia International Laud Loan and Trust Com pany,” under the management of men whose names are guaranties of the integrity and financial soundness of the enterprise, no less than by the completion of already com menced and the construction of new rail roads, the State will profit in a very materi al degree, and great facilities be afforded to the developments of its vast natural re sources. The Chesapeake and Ohio raihoid opens a grand trunk line from the Atlantic ocean to th.e Western States and California, while the Norfolk and Great-Western road will intersect the very best portions of Vir ginia along its southern border, from Nor folk westward as far as Bristol, Tenn. By this line a direct communication with the leading Southern cities will be obtained, while at the same time, by the contracts recently entered into with the Allen steam ship line direct from Europe to Norfolk, it will convey emigrants and settlers to the interior, and thus conduce to the settlement and add to the value of the la-ids along the line of the road, which are principally in the hands of the land company. Through its connection with the projected Ei Paso and Texas Pacific railroad to the Pacific ocean, this line of rail will also bring the State of Virginia ? nt« pr minence as an ag ricultural district for emigrants, and of commeieial importance second to none in the South. The “Virginia International Land, Loan, a'd Trust Company” is found ed upon a principle somewhat similar to those two famous monetary establishment*, the Credit Mohilier, of Paris, and the Credit Foncier. — Washington Patriot. ... ... Ottr Tela* Correspondence. Galveston. Texas, June 10th, 1871. Editors Herald :—Ou Saturday, 3*l inst., our city Was visited by a severe storm which continned until Monday evening, 6(b, doing considerable damage to property on the Island, and wrecking one steamship loaded principally with cattle, and sinking bark, “Yirginia'Dafe,” loaded with railroad iron. The former was just clearing for Indianola when the storm came op, and something going wrong with her wheel house, she was blown about until she “sprung a leak,” which let in the water so fast that her very gallant captain had time to “beach her” and let her go down in shallow water. The latter began tj) drag anchor about 2 r. u Sunday, and went under at 6 p.-M. in water just deep enough to leave the top rigging a : little above water, yet it was so little that her gallant ctew of of fourteen men (whose only alternitife was to lash themselves to the rigging and hope for assistance and relief,) were altnost death by the high waves, jand it was not until late Monday evening jbefore the storm was fairly over, that it waslin the power of any one to render them any|assis tance. As soon as it was possiblej even with much difficulty and a great deal of danger they were rescued and brought into • the city, and have since then- bee?o gener ously cared for, provided with funds and sent back to their homes and families, to tell that Galveston people will not hesitate to risk all—even life, to relieve thedistress ed and unfortunate. Indeed it was a dar-' ing act in the gallant men that went to their relief, for at that time even men on the Island trembled in their boots. Other damages to the smaller boats would be of no interest to your readers. Storm number two struck os about 10 a. m. Friday, 9th. and lasted nntil very late in the night It is said by the oldest inhabitants that the winds were never before known to blow so hard—“at one time blowing at the,rate of sixty miles per hour,” so says sergeant Van Hake, of the U. S. Corps. During the continuance of this storm rain seemed to fall in perfect torrents, which very soon flooded our streets and put water proof boots in great demnn 1. The damages of storm No. 2 were mostly confined to the shipping. River steamer “Nora,”., broke spiling and swung around in good order. The custom house boat went down in four foot water. Tugboat “Superior,’’belonging to 11. D. N. Cos. sunk. S eamship “Clio— ton’s” paddle box was carried away, This vessel was loaded with cattle, and a horri ble sight it was to see all mixed in togeth er, the living, the dead and the oying, to say the lea»t it washy np means an edifying scene to behold. Lighter Emily sunk with 900 bales of cotton, 300 of which was blown ashore. River steamer “Mollk> Hamilton” is a total wreck. After she suok in water not deep enough to cover her *>b e waH blown and beaten into fragments. Port. Pilot house and one chimney on Cal Cage was blown off. To make a long story short and not take up so much of your valuable space, is to say about twenty other boats, schooners, &c., were either capsized,' sunk, blown away or blown ashore. Telegraph poles blown down andVailroads washed up. St. Patrick’s church, just completed is a total ruin, every wall having blown down. Other damages on the Island is of no inter est to your readers. While speaking of shipping I failed to say that five vessels (too large to enter this port were lying in the roads,) are missing, one of whieh was ready to sail. It is said that the five ves sels in all had on board about 6.500 bales of cotton. Weather is warm and the sky looks as if another sto»m was ready and only waiting to come in its regular turn. Justitia. Akcrman. The Washington Banner discusses Geor gia’s contribution to Grant’s Cabinet : Akerman, of Georgia, went into Grant’s Cabinet with a tremendous flourish of big trumpets, but, according to the latest hints from Washington, is likely to cotne out at the little end of a very small h->ro. .There appears to be something wrong in fbe At torney-General’s offire. It is very certain that much fault is being .fpu.nd will* his conduct, not only by private citizens having business -with the office, hut by Bureau officers of the G"vert*nienr, and by his as sociates in the Cabinet, of that officer's habits of delay and preerastination It is said that he materially re arda the business of the Government by constantly delaying action on important cisee referred ~ to him. and that in some instances large sums of money have been lost because he would not’act, preferring to consign the papers to the rigeon- holes and thp-s- avoid the responsibility of action. The faot is, Akerman is incompetent, and all the Cabi net officers are convinced of it. It is said ; some of them have appealed to re pre senting that the Attorney General was n. burden which the President could tutt hmg-' er afford to carry. It is also reported " that the Solicitor-General of the Department and one of the Assistant Attorney-Generals, who are b*>tli capable and efficient officers, are greatly, dissatisfied-wijth rhemsftmer in which WsToefcs is conducted, YncTwill sodn resign unless there is a-change. Many «and those best informed regarding the adminis official life is short; that the President is beginning to see that be is withoutstrength as a politician, without intelligence us>peb* lie affairs, and incapable of his high office, and that as soon as a succes sor can be decided upon, he will be invited out. • But it is easy to see how the matter stands. With Georgia in the hand-of the Democracy, Akerman can uff.rd the Ad» ministration but lame support, either in nr out «»f that State. Grant has no use for no n who cannot do him political service or make him c >Btly presents. Akerman’sin competency, though notorious enough, is a secondary consideration. If the President were to oust every incompetent man he has appointed, nearly every Federal office in the country would he vacant. The Baptist denomination in Georgia numbers 134,000. So says the Christian Index. .'' a * ~J*~~ Tht Gcorfl* Pr* M * A little eon of Mr. Bten. CxHier, of Tal bottoo, was poisoned on the 15th inst., by eating cobalt, and died in a few hours. The Savannah Dally Advertiser says: Commodore Jnsiah TatnaH died on the 15th inst., at the Residence of Mrs. Kollock, .on Smith ftroad street after an. illness of hot a few days. Commodore TafnuM, if our information ia correct, was aged about 75 years. The Houston Home journal says i Phil Toodee Kempner is dead, and Dal Martin Jordan is in black for a time. The City Council of Albany have given the right of way to the Brunswick & Albany Railroad Company to cut up and run through their streets. A generous Council that. The LaGraoge Reporter says: Our citizens are called upon to mourn the death of two of the most estimable and worthy men of the county. Luke Johnson and George Kidd coming to Troup in its early„_b.ie.tory, their energy, enterprise and integrity, have contributed their lull share in winning for their county its well-earned and deserved fame for uprightness, intelli gence and refinement. In all the walks of life they enjoyed, in a high degree, the eon fidence and esteem of all who knew them. The first ‘lied on the 3d instant, the latter on the 13th—both at an advanced age after their work was well done. That they are at rest, we <Mnnot doubt; and we trust that their good examples and precepts will not be forg>»tton by the living. To their be reaved families and sorrowing relatives our sincere coudolence and sympathy are ex tended. As an indication of the health of our town, it is only necessary to state that nearly six months of the year has “Xpired, and that not a single death of a white per son has occurred within the corporate limits of the city for 1871. Ex-Senator Miller will deliver the prize medals at the next University Commence ment. The Bibb county Agricultural Fair came off at Macon, on the 17th inst. It is said to have been in all respects a most credita ble exposition and a brilliant success. The Columbus Sun, of Saturday, has this paragraph on railroad matters: It is alleged that Cook & Cos., of Atlanta, are acting in the interest of the Pennsylva nia Centre I Railroad Company, which is extending its branches Southward ; and that after they have built the road to Columbus, they will extenJ it to Albany. Then Kimball will be President of a long route Irom Atlanta via Columbus and Albany to Brunswick. It is now considered among the knowing ones that a sale >f the Mobile and Girard Railroad will be preferred to a lease of the Central, unless that aorporarion will agree to pay a reasonable percentage. If lor sale, these same agents ol the Penn sylvania Central mav buy it and extend it to Mobile, arid thus have a grand trunk line to New Orleans. O'hers say Kimball is trying, by a concentration of railroad interests, to make himself the next Governor of Georgia. The Carterßville Express says that not more than a fourth of a wheat crop can be made in that section. The Georgia Republican states that C. G. Reese, ol Talifcrro county, has been, by Judge Andrews, sentenced to oe hung on Friday, August fourth, for the murder of Thomas Edwards, in that county, last August. The Atlanta Son of the 19th says that Mary Shields «oceessfully walloped and robbed Fanny Temple this morning. Fannv lost a part of one ear, sixtv-five cents and yelled like an Arab. Mary, it is supposed, will rusneate within the precints of John son’s Hotel. Marietta. —The Journal says: The sur vey of the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad has been commenced. The sur veying party is in charge of Col. Taylor. The Southern Sun says the following is a young hopeful’s idea of assault and battery, whose uncle is a young lawyer in the city. Young Hopeful.— (yawning)—“Well, 1 believe I'll go over to the court house and hear uncle holler a little, as he’s got a case in court.” Bystander —“ What sort of a case, bad dy?” Hopeful. —‘ Oh, only a case of assault and battery—a nigger stole a sheep over the river the other day.” The Sun also states that Mr. E. O. Mounger informs us that there has been a Matrimonial Olub formed in town of which Orfear Donalson is President.and himself Secretary. ’Tis strange to what expedient* some men will resort to get wives. We trust the ladies will strangle this delecta ble club iu its incipieney, together with its officers. , . The Newnan Herald says Monroe Price, a person of color, was employed recently by Mr C. R<*binson to hoe his cotton in town. Monroe thought as the stand was bad and it did not need thinning, Mr. R , would not care how the grass was killed provided the job was done, so he very considerately -turned- into the field eighty hungry geese that went heartily to work on the grass, while Monroe calmly rested in the shad* and witnessed the operation. Sensible Mooroe! A fact. .. The Savannah Republican says a young man, book-keeper for a prominent cotton merchant, has turned up missing, with $2,500 of his employer's, money unaccounted for.

Mr. Vallandigham had been engaged for ten days in preparing for the defence of one MiGehen, charged with the murder of Mey ers, at Hamilton, Ohio, some weeks ago. He bad gone to Lebanon to attend the trial. A Lebanon correspondent of the Cincin nati Enquirer furnishes that paper with the following details of the terrible accident which resulted in his death : After taking supper, he procured from the landlord of the hotel a bit of white mus lin cloth, perhaps s foot square, for the purpose of testing to his own satisfaction the question as to whether a shot fired from a pisrol in close proximity to it would or would not leave a mark ot powder upon it. Having provided twnsefF with this, and put his pistol in his pocket, be and Mr. Mtliken and Mr. Hume w*nt out together to the south edge of town, beyond the resi dence of Governor Mcßurney. Arriving there, they were ioined by Mr. Mcßurney. and the trio become a quartette. THE PI-TOL which he took with him for this purpose is anew revolver wbfoh be had purchased only a few days before coming to Lebanon. It is one of Smith A Wesson’s manufacture, with a four inch barrel, and five chambers, and carries a ball of 32-luo of an inch cali ber. How THE ACCIDENT CAME AB UT. r Two shots were fired into the cloth, and all wete satr-fied with the result of the ex periment. and started back to the hotel. Mr. Miliken, ever caut ous and thought ful, said : “Val., there are three shots in yoor pis tol yet. You had better discharge th**m.” “What for?” responded Mr. Vallandig ham. “To prevent any accident,” replied the cautious attorney. “You might shoot your. “No danger of that,” replied Mr. VallaD digham, “I have carried and practiced wish pistol- ton long to be afraid to have a load ed one in my pocket.” “You had better be careful, though,” said Mr. Miliken. “Never fear me,” was the replv. They then slowly walked back toward the town, and, before they reached the ho»eI. separated. • Arriving at the Lebanon House alone, Mr. Vallandigham whs stopped on his way up stairs by the landlord, and a package that had been left for him in bis absence placed in his hands. That-parcel e*nta'iied another revolver—a weapon that had been exhibited at the trial in conrt, and was n»»t only on loaded, but had had the chambers removed. Proceeding to his room, he tin*, wrapped the parcel, and at the same time taking his own weapon from hi* pocket, laid the two murderous instruments on the table, side by side. A moment later, Mr. Scott Symmes, a young lawyer who has been connected w th the prosecution of the case, passed the d<*»>r. “Symmes," said he. “F .llett is mistaken. A man could easily shoot himself as Myers was shot. Gome iu an I will show how it is done.” Thus invited, Sytnmes entered the room, but a moment later, seeing Judge Popp coming up stairs, excused himself on the ground that he was join* to Hamilton in the morning, and wished to see the Judge b • fore he left. He passed out, and a minute or so afterward Mr. Mcßurney caM.e into the room. Mr. Vallandignam, still stand ing by the table nu which the pistols lay, said: “I’ll show von how Tom Myers shot him self. Fdlett’s mistaken when he says it can’t be done” Saying this, he took up one of the murderous instruments in his bands, pot it into his pantloous pocket, and slowly drawing it out again, cocking it as he drew it forth, he attempted to place it in the exact position which he helievpd Myer’s weapon to have assumed at the moment the fatal bullet was sped on its mission of death The muzzle of the weap on still within the lappel of the pocket, he brought it to ao angle of about fortv-five degrees. “There, that’s the way Myers held it, only he was getting up, not standing erect.” Saying this, he touched the trigger.
