Not Kwmjch by Half. —A barbecue was tike order of the day here last Sat urday, Avery large' crowd of the “colored citizens of Burke and adjacent eounties" were gfesent —say about one thousand, big, little, old, young, male, and female. They commenced to gath er the evening before, at midnight, and at early morn; and, hungry, round the pits they hovered, like black birds lound a field of corn. But for all this not half of Jhcm got half enough to eat, and many nothing ai all. “A solitary horseman might haye been seen wending his way irom the barbecue grounds, last ingly in an uneasy mood and unsteady position; and ere he proceeded ffiany paces toward the spot where he hoped to y “bathe his iu’ards with the soothing extract of corn, he gently slid from the saddle--but fortunately hap pened to strike on his head, and no dam age was done, outside of a small “hole in the ground. ’ Some Bay he had a fit Policf. Covet.— Waynesboro’s tal ented musician, Jim Simpkins, of the colored way of drawing the bow, was up before tlio Police Court, Monday last, for a violation of the ninth section. He deposited a V and the price of a “set of fiddle strings and a box of rosing" and went on his way rejoicing. Several others, of the same persua sion, but of different professions by which they get their bread.for the same offense, contributed to the exchequer, while a few will turn their attention to civil en gineering for periods of time adequate to their exertions at Sunday disturbance. John Harrison, for violent and oppro brious language, was fined $lO and sen tenced to work en the streets for twrrt ty days, AdjWnod. In our advertising oolumusV this morning will bo found the business can\ of the well-known and enterpris ing firm of Messrs. L. J. Gun, martin & Cos., of Savanna!), Ga. This firm has long been known as one of tho most liberal and substantial firms in our State, and parties having cotton to dis pose of wo ild do well to bare thorn in mind, as they are offering superior in ducements for cotton consigned to them. They havo on hand a full supply of bagging, tics, rope and Georgia domes tics, which they arc prepared to dispose of on liberal terms. The Septompcr number of Wood’s Household Magazine is on our table.— We always have a. good word to say for this publication—it is such a whole souled book—so wide awake, so lively and entertaining, yet always so chaste and refined. It is a regular littlo go ahead, too, as comparison between its numbers will prove. We learn that the firm of S. S. Wood <fc Cos. dissolved in March last, tho “Cos.” (S. E. Shutes, Mayor of Newburgh,) retaining poss ession of the magazine, and recalling 11. V. Osborne (Tcnoroon) as editor.— So, though the publication really chang ed hands, it lias not suffered from the management of anew publisher or new editor, but. under the redoubled efforts of its energetic proprietor, has gained nevy force and new attractiveness Price only one dollar a year. Address Wood's Household Magazine, Newburgh, N. Y. - ■ - ■■■■-■- - When men violate the laws of a State or tho ordinances of a city or town, wil fully and maliciously, they should have the extreme penalty of the same visited upon them. In law “ignorance of the law is no excuse;” but in nine cases out of ten it is considered sufficient, and the offenders either go free or are but lightly punished. As obedient citizens and defenders of the public peace, to which end all laws are enacted, we are in duty bound at all times to deprecate lawlessness and vice. We can not, there fore, in this connection, without an in sult to our community, and especially the female portion of it, refrain from denouncing the actions, as we have beard them,‘of several persons in our town, last Monday evening. We know that stories are often exaggerated, whep so many times told over—and we hope it is so in this case; but if what has been reported to us be true, then let the law be enforced to its utmost capac ity—for its violation was not through ignorance. ’ More Fun than Fight. —A son of the Emerald Isle and a so-called dc. scendu of Ham became so much ex cited a few days ago, during a debate, as to allow their gesticulations to as sume the nature of “blow for blow,” and the consequence was' an invitation “outside the corporate limits,” on the part of the Hamjte, to settle the quarrel in a “gemmanly style.” Nothing loth, Hibernia strided away toward some se questered spot where the dread of a town marshal and the frowns of council men could not disturb nor distress. On the road the fighters met a former sheriff —a warlike man, by the way —when, in his exhubcrance of soul, Jamie said: — “My frind, wud yees take a dhrink ?” at the i|ainc time producing his “flask of the pothe'en.” The drink "foaa taken, Jamie “wet-his own whistle,” and then offered the same to hie ‘'friend of the gunge,” who declined in these elegant words: “Don't want none of your d —d whiskey !” f ‘Then,” says Jamie, “take th’ whole botthle, ye bla-gtmrd !” dash ing it into his face. While whiskey and blood trickled down upon bis shirt,front, the s,aid descendant wisely concluded that Hibernia was a better man than Africa, and declared lie “wouldn’t have nothin’ more to do with him no how.” -■ Important Discovery.— Galileo invented tlio telescope; Columbus discovered a now world; Harvoy, tbo circulation of tho blood, and to Prof. Morse is dqo tho credit of toachiug tho lightning how to talk, butat was resorvod to Dr. J.

Jefferson Davis addressed the Southern Historical Convention, iu session at Montgomery White Sulphur Springs to-day. He was introduced by Gov. Letcher and received standing and with great applause. He returned thanks for this welcome to Virginia, where he always felt welcome, and whose brave men were only excelled in their deeds by the braver}' and devotion of tho women whose zeal and heroism throughout the war he highly praised. He spoke of the object of the His torical Society, and said that to write true history it must be done by South ern men that knew the facts, and that all the material must be gathered- for the purpose South ; the ’ action of the South in the war and the causes that brought it on might be fairly laid before mankind. ■He spoke of old Jubal Early as one who was ever faithful throughout the war, and as being the proper man to carry out this great object. He said we had been more cheated than conqur ed h.y the declarations of the Federal President, Congress and Generals, for there never could have been a surren der bad we anticipate! what followed, and we could to-day have been free. He still had hope of tho South, be cause whatever tlje men might be, be never yet bad seen a reconstructed wo man, and while the men of the day might yield the principles for which they had struggled, he yet Loped the children who succeeded them would grow up to maintain them—maintain and perpetuate them, and redeem all that wc had lost. Mr. Davis’ remarks contain no sen timents of hostility to the Federal Gov- j eminent, but evinced an earnest devo tion to constitutional liberty, for which the South had struggled. lie was list ened to with deep interest and was fre quently applauded. A resolution was offered, by admiral Semfnes that his Excellency President Grant be requested to permit the Secre tary of this Society to examine all the papers of tho archives of the Govern ment captured by the Fedeial forces from the Confederates during the war, aud to make copies of such of them as he may think fit,'was adopted, The committee tr.sn adjourned, and the Historical Society met. ■ A resolution was adopted admitting ladies who had lost relatives in tho war to membership. The Society tbcp adjourned to meet in Richmond at the call of the Presi dent. Asiatic Cholera in Chicago, —At a meeting of tho Association of Physi cians and Surgeons of Chicago, there was a general expression in vindication of the recent statement by the Times of that ity as to the existence of the Asi atic cholera in Chicago. These gentle men gave it as the result of their pro fessional observatioq that the disease has prevailed aud still prevails, though they find no reason for the apprehen sion that it will attain tho dimensions of a sweeping epidemic. Something New Usman the Son.—A now ers ip dawning upon tho life of women. Hitherto sha has been called upon tQ sulfur tho ifjs ot mankind and her own besides.

Reverdy Johnson on tho Third Term. A correspondent of tho New York Herald, writing from Saratoga, at which place Hon. Reverdy Johnson, of Balti more, has been sojourning, gives tho following report of a conversation wiih that gentlemen on political topics. Tho correspondent asked whether Mr. John son favored the “third term principle,” , to which Mr. Johnson roplied : “Principle ! I see no principle in tho idea whatever. The idea of put ting a n y man into the Presidential chair for a third term ought to bo abhorrent to every good citizeu. Why, sir, I would not vote for Washington himself for a third term if lie was living to-day. “Do you think General Grant would take a third renomination t m “I am positive he would end would work hard to sectiro his election. Grant is wonderfully fond of money, and so long as he can remain where ho is the more easily is he able to gratify his ava. rice. I havo it from very good author ity that ho would have vetoed the sal ary grab bill had he been assured be forehand that his own salary would be increased ; but, not getting that assur ance, he was unwilling to let slip the only chance to have his pay doubled, and so signed the bill. Tbo Presidency to Grant is a sort of personal affair, and ho has made ft serve him well so far; aud I doubt not but that, if he should be renominated, he will, as I said be fore, not only take tho nomination, but use all the vast powers conferred upon him by Cougress to help his election. But, of course, I do not befieve t'at there would be any certainty about his election whatever; for I do not think that he could be re-elected even if re nominated. He can, if he wants to, easily get renominated. “The machinery is all in hi 9 hands, and what has boon dene before in the way of raving a convention ‘all right’ to order, can be done again. But l have great faith in the common good sense of the people. It is true that things are ddne now that receive their sanction which years ago would have been abhorrent to them; and we can hardly tell what changes may come over them between now and 1876. Still, as to this matter of puttiug a man iu the presideptial chair for a third term, I do. not think the people will ever go astray. To bo sure I ear. easily conceive how they might bo justified in re-electing General Grant again, if between now and ’76 we should have war with some foreign powr; but without some extra ordinary justification like this I do not think General Grant’s chances for a third term amount to much.” Terrible Accident from Coal-Oil. A terrible accident recently took place at Reuil, France, in tho explosion of a large quantity of mineral oil, which was kept in a cellar by a grocer. He seut a lad to draw some, and as tbo cock would not act, a second person decended with a candle to tip the bar rel up. The consequence was that the oil caught fire, there was an explosion, soveral persons were dangerously hurt, and the house set on fire. When with the aid of tho authorites and villagers the conflagration had been got under, a man went down into another collar with a light to look after some petro leum, and then a second and still more serious explosion occurred, and several of tho authorites, firemen and otliors were more or less burned or injured.— Altogether there were no fewer than forty-two victims. German Americans Tabooed by Bis marck. —A Washington IDispatch says that the State Department has been j thrown into a feverish excitement over j tho annouuceiqcnt that no appointments to Germany of a diplomatic or consular nature will be matle of persons born in ! that country, and that this policy has ! been adopted at the express request of Bismarck, who wishes to check the euor mous emigration to this country. The Secretary of State has authorized the publication of the following : “Foreign governments exercise no influenco over the government, and least of all, would an attempt to exercise such influence avail hi tho State Department. A gen eral rule has long prevailed, and been acted upon by several administrations, not selecting consuls from the natives of the country to which they are sent. 1 ’ As nearly all of our consuls and vioe consuls in Germany, in the Qerman em pire, arc naturalized citizens of that country, the denial is nqt accepted by the applicants for vacancies as consis tent with the practice of the depart ment heretofore. * Wilkins &■ Cos s Coluufh.
