War l
Grim visaged war hath not
smoothed his wrinkled front any to
speak of in Europe. Our latest dis
patches indicate, if ineed it has not
already commenced, a terrible strag-
glo between Russia and 7 nrkev; be
tween tho Mussulman and the
Muscovite. The great Powers have
exhausted diplomacy in trying to
adjust their differences; and now*
they are engaged in making ready
to take a hand, if necessary, in the
broil which if not brought to
a speedy close, will eventually
involve the wholo of continen
tal Europe. Tho Russians have
put three powerful columns in
motion for the frontier. They will
bo followed by others of the great
mobilized army, and Boon the heavy
shock of arms, aud the deafening
din of battle will come wafted to us,
bearing the groans of the dying,
tho exultant shouts of the victors,
and worse, the wails of thousand*
of widows and orphans. The effect
of tho impending clash of arms, it
already felt Gold has run up, pro
visions of all kinds advanced, and
stocks gone down. Tho wheat mar
ket is especially excited. Odessa,
and St Petersburg and the regions
lx>rdering the Black and Baltic Seas,
are the great distributors and pro
ducers of this grain. Of course the
foreign supply will be virtually cut
off. In that event, Europe will have
to look Americanward. for, not only
this great breadstuff staple, but for
other breadstuff's and provisions as
well. Everything for the susten
ance of man and beast will be in de
mand. And, if the war lasts or be
comes general, which in all proba
bility it will, these staple produc-
tious will command greatly ad
vanced pricea At the same time it
must be seen that tho manufactur
ing interests of Europe—the great
depot for American cottons—must
be paralyzed and suffer greatly.—
Consequently cotton must take a
downward grade until “dovo eyed
peace’' shall once more reign.
Now tho lesson and moral to be
drawn from this is, that no prudent
farmer can afford to neglect a pro
vision crop by giving preference to
cotton. Under present circumstan
ces, it would bo perfect suicide. I*

lowing letter is now made public for
the first lime. As will be seen, it was
written on the day of the inaugura
tion of President Hayes:
Boston, March 5th, 1877.—Hon. &
J. Tilden, New York: My Dear 8ir—
On
the day, when you ought to have

been

timony to the calm and dignified man
ner in which you have passed through
this great trial. It is many years
since I ceased to be a party man,
hence I have endeavored to judge of
public matters and men ratherby their
merits than by the name they take.—
It is a source ot gratification to
me to think that I made a right
choice in tho late, election,
could never have been reconciled
the elevation by the small
est aid of mine, of a person, however
respectable in private life, who must
forever carry upon his brow ths
stamp of fraud, the first triumphant
in American history. No subsequent
action, however meritorious, can wash
away the letters ot that record.
Very respectfully yours,
Ciiarlks Francis Adams.
The foregoing from Massachu-
sett’s distinguished son, will go
down to posterity ns the sober judg
ment of tho American people. All
the waters in tho Atlantic Ocean
could not wash from the brow of
Rutherford B. Hayes tho damning
blot of fraud. Like Cain, he will
wear it there; like tho first murder
er he will go through life branded
as the first citizen of this great Re
public, who held the Chief Magis
tracy of the nation by open fraud.

distance, tho Mailing J/dster threw
the boat’s head to the wind and al

a good send off, and we went cutting

with one hand. The boat now com
menced moving slowly toward the
shore, impelled by the wind. This,
with my efforts in swimming, and
with the additional aid of a twelve
foot oar which I had secured, and
which I used whenever the bottom
could be" reached, enabled us to
make slow headway toward the land.
Ujpon reaching within some 20 yards

of the sad disaster was soon on hand.

in search of the bodies; Robert ac

Mr.Slater was found standing erect,
bis feet on the bottom with the two
fishing polls already alluded to
clasped under his arms. Mr. P. H.
Brown was found about 20 yards
farther, resting on the bottom, face
downward.
The bodies had been in the water
five or six hours. I suppose that
the boat went down at half past ten,
os Mr. Brown’s watch marked that
hour when liis. body was recovered.
It had evidently stopped when he

so much so that the boat crooned
heavily over to one side. At this
time Mr. P. H. Brown and Mr. Sla
ter both had hold of the sheet rope;
nnd which at the moment should
(in my judgement) have been let
loose. Failing to do so, the boat
capsized. The position of the par
ties when she capsized were as fol
lows: Mr. P. H. Brown sitting in
the stern holding the helm and
sheet rope; Mr. Slater, in the" cen

Mr. Robt. Brown betweeu the mast

some distance in the water. The
others held on to the boat, which
commenced settling fast Pat threw
off his coat I asked, “what arc
you going to do.” Ho answered,
“I am going to make for shore,” and
sprang into the water. He was fol
lowed a moment afterwards by Mr.
Slater. In the meantime I was en
deavoring to regain the boat before
she sank. Mr. Robt Brown was
still clinging to her. Pat an<J Billy
were now swimming for the northern
shore. Just as I regained her the
boat went to the bottom in about
10 foot water. This threw. Robt
and myself into the water again.—
He managed to get a foot hold on
the edge of the boat; it having set
tled on its side. I soon got a simi
lar position. We now turned our
attention to Pat and Billy who were
manfully struggling with the waves.
They had got thirty or forty yards.
I begged them to return, urging
that tno boat was our only chance.
Pat called back to Robert to get an
oar and follow bira. Billy never
spoke. I still insisted and bogged
them to come back. Billy now
turned and eudeavored to do so.—
Ho only succeeded in getting with
in about 20 yards of ns. At that time
I saw twO fishing poles which had
fio&ted from the boat drifting near
him. I told him to secure them
which he did. But Jie seemed to be
exhausted aud only floated for
probably a minute. He then drifted,
his mouth and nose under the wa
ter, the upper portion of tbe face and
eves being exposed. His eyes were
closed. He seemed to die very easy;
iu fact went down without a stugglc.
Pat was oma line with Billy, but
some 20 yards beyond him. Robert
seeing that his brother was fast fad
ing, hollowed to him to turn on his
back. He did so. This was the last
effort he seemed to make. Quietly
and without a straggle he sank al
most at tho same moment that saw
Billy go down. While they were
drowning, Robert or myself, got hold
of a small pole which floated np,
and with it we managed to keep our
balance on tho edge of the boat.—
The water reached np to the arm
pits of Robert; whilst in my cose it
touched the chin—caused by my
resting on a lower portion of the
boat Robert seeing bis brother
and cousin sink, seemed to lose all
hope and let go the pole; saying that
he would drown also. I urged him
to retake it—which he did—telling
him that as long as our heads were
above water there was a chance for
us. I now commenced calling for
help. We were about one mile
from shore, with no boat or any one
in sight I must have hollowed for
a full hour. My throat and mouth
became very dry and parched. I
occasionally relieved this by dipping
my mouth into the water. By this
time I had succeeded in divesting
myself of all my clothing except
undershirt and one shoe—I could
not get the shoe off. I also begged
Robert to throw off his clothing.—
He refused to do so, still saying
that there was no hope. After re
maining in this position something
over an hour, Robert suggested

Dear Times: A recent trip to our
sister city, Bainbridgc, to attend the
session of the District Conference of
the Thomasville Dist., M. E. Church,
S. is one filled with plcasaul memo
ries.
The Conference was organized on
Thursday morning, Bishop Geo. F.
Pierce, presiding, nnd Rev. R. L.
Lockwood. Sect'y. The reports ol
pastors, concerning the condition ot
their various charges, occupied Thurs
day and Friday, and were full of in
terest and instruction. On Saturday
the reports of Committees on th*
“general state of the Church,” on Fi
nance and on Sabbath Schools were
read and discussed. The business of
the session was consummated by the
election of four delegates, with their
alternates, to represent this Confer
ence Dist. in the next annual confer
ence. The following were elected:
/f. IK.'Sharpe, A. A. Allen, L. S.
MacSwain and Wm. A. Graham.—
Fort Gaines was selected as the place
for holding the next session.
The most interesting feature of the
occasion was the presence of Dr.
Lovick Pierce, the venerable father of
the presiding Bishop. The Doctor,
n«w in his ninety-third year, preached
three time* with all hi* wonted ability,
and, though feeble iu body, showed
that the giant mind had failed not a
lot in the exercise of it* great power*.
I heard the earnest wish expressed by
many of his hearers that this good
and great divine might be spared for
yean to enlighten bis race.
Bishop Pierce preached several able
sermons, but suffered much from fee
ble health.
Rev. J. IV. Burke, of Macon, made
a genial appearance.
On Sunday afternoon the
School celebration, showed one of tbe
finest working schools in the State, if
not the finest.
The delegates and members ol the
Conference were entertained in the
most genial and whole-eonled man
ner. and all left foil of gratitude and
appreciation. I should not omit to
state that the delegates from the
