Lecture on Mexico.
BISHOP HAVEN LAST NIOHT.
West Point.
According to previous announcement, Bishop Haven
delivered his lecture on Mexico last night, at the Rep
resentative Hall to a considerable audience, ineluding
many prominent citizens. Dr. Roach was called to
the chair, and introduced the eloquent and gifted
speaker, who at once proceeded to give a description
of the historic country, Mexico, in an elegant and Im
pressive manner. He Lae an easy and graceful delivery
and has the magnetic power to enchain au audience.
He made many points of great practical importance
in relation to this apparently ill-fated country, yet pos
sessing unequalled natural advantages. Bishop Haven
stated that he resided one winter in the great and
ancient City of Mexico—the City of the Montezumas,
and found It the most delightful wiuter residence he
had ever seen. Had not lived there in the summer.
He then proceeded to give in a very comprehensive
manner its geographical position and natural advan
tages and adaptations. He considered eastern
Mexico as the location from whence light
and knowledge, the production of good
society eminated and obtained on the soil of America
its life germ. That it was the first portion of that
vafct territory settled by tbe Spaniards and traced its
rise, progress, and mutations from tbe time of the
landing of the Cortez at Vera Cruz in the year 1519
when the foundation for tbe last uamod city was laid.
That the western portion is the land supplied with
streams of silver and gold and whose mines have al*
ready yielded anch immense quantities of the precious
metals. All in all it was a splendid lecture and
eminently worthy to be heard, as the subject of it has
borne more than her share in wars, revolutions and
bloodshed, and has furnished more for the historian
to record, and more for the philosopher’s and states
man’s attention, than any country of equal
tent in modern times. Even, the United States seems
to have been troubled several times "on account of
Mexico." Let the student of history not fail to in
vestigate that of this county.

Iiarendlarism.
'Ihe National Board of Fire Underwriters, at tb>
late meeting in the City of New York, resolved to raise
a fn»d of $100,000 for the detection, conviction and
punishment of parties engaged in the nefarious busi
ness of incendiarism and arson. The Executive Com
rnittee of that Board, at their meeting on May 14th,
1873, carried out the resolution and opened the sub
scription.
We hall this movement as a step in the right direc
tion, and commend tbe action as one not only likely
to benefit Underwriters, but also to protect the public
frem wholesale loss. This action is the more import
ant when it la remembered that the experience of the
large companies transacting tha business of fire insu
rance in the United States shows that the proportion of
loss to be attributed to the above causes is not less
than 33 per cent, of the whole, or a loss to the country of
at least twenty-five millions of dollars per annum.—

RETURN OF MAJOR CAMPBELL WALLACE—HIS REPORT OF
THE WESTERN RAILROAD—PRESIDENT GRANT
AT TALLADEGA —A LIBERAL SUB
SCRIPTION—THE WORK TO
BE PUSHED THROUGH.
Onr popular and ssteemed townsman. Major Camp
bell Wallace, returned to Atlanta a couple of (lays ago
from Alabama, where he has been in the interest of
the Western Railroad. Although no longer President
of tbe road, Major Wallace's interest in the great work
la as keen as ever, and he devotes all bis time and at
tention to iL
Major Wallace informs ua that it has been definitely
decided that the road (ball pass through Talladega.
Tbe people of this town are fully alive to tbe impor
tance of having the road, and have aobicrlbed the
handsove sum of three hundred thousand dollars to
wards it.
When Major Wallace left Tabadegi, Col. Grant, the
new President of the Wostern road, was there busily
engaged In locating the line. Work will begin in
Alabama immediately, for the ptirpoee of completing
twenty miles within the time specified by the law of
that State granting a subsidy to railroads. We are
glad to learn that Col. Grant is displaying the deepest
interest In the work, and is determined to puab It
through to an early completion. Notwithstanding the
senseless hostility of the present Council of Atlanta,
the construction of the road will be continued, and in
December next a new Council will be elected which
will do something towards retaining to Atlanta the
control of this most Important line of railroad.
Altogether the prosperity of the Western road con
tinues favorable.
Ws are glad to report that Major Wallace is in good
and as fall as ever of that bonhomme tor which
be has always been noted.
A. Kovel Idea.
W. D. Elite, Esq., in the argument of Ihe case of th6
Rtaie vs. George Beasen, for gaming, advanced the
idea that Mr. Van Epps had better indict tbe Presi
dent of the gas company for furnishing light to run
the machine by. The indefatigable Solicitor will
doubtless profit by tbe suggestion.
The trial of Thomas G. Jones, who is charged with
murder in killing Hilliard Fleming, on Monday night, j THE
2d in&L, consumed the whole day in this court. The
examination of witnesses on the part of tbe State was
conducted by Solicitor General Glenn, while General
Gartrell and Judge D. F. Hammond alternately ex
amined witnesses for the defense.
The testimony was concluded shortly after six
o’clock, and the court adjourned for an hour and a
half, when it reassembled, and the arguments were
begun. Below we give a summary of the evidence
which, while not very elaborate, gives the main facts
proven:
The first witness introduced by the State was Boyd
Fleming, brother of the deceased. He testified that
on the night of the homicide, deceasad came to his
house, told him to get up and "go out on street and
see him have satisfaction." He got up. They came
up Walker street to Peters. On the way Hilliard
pulled a paling, half inch thick by two inches wide, off
fence. Came into Peters street; met Jones and
O’Shields. Witness said good evening; they said good
evening; don’t think deceased said it; Hilliard struck
at Jones with Daling; Jones ran towards the barracks,
O’Shieids diagonally across towards Doane’s; both
stopped; O’Shields fired; Jones fired; each of them
firing two shots, Hilliard said, you’ve killed me. Be
fore firing commenced, witness asked them not to
shoot. Deceased had a drink or two; neither de
ceased nor witness had pistols; neither of them fired.
Much other unimportant matter was elicited from this
witness. A severe cross examination failed to change
mis testimony.
J. M. Cook testified that deceased left his bar-room
jufct before eleven o’clock ; went across to Castleberry*
store; witness closed bar and started home. Deceased
called witness; when witness got over there, found
deceased, Jones and O’Shields talking about fighting;
treated it as a joke at first Heard O’Shielda tell Flem
ing he thought he was a negro and Jones say “Hilliard
he was mistaken;" Fleming cursed and threatened to
kick them. Th**y talked of locking Fleming up.
Witness proposed to take him home; carried him
down the; street by Lowe’s, within 200 yards of the
house, when deceased jerked loose from witness, still
cursing and threatening to whip them. Witness went
home and saw no more of it. Deceased was intoxica
ted and angry.
Dr. E. J. Roach testified that deceased came to his
death from a pistol shot wound. Ac.
Here the State closed, and the defense introduced
John O’Shields, who testified that Jones and he had
been down to Stewart's bar, made a bet as to time, all
took a drink, went np to Blatingame’s to get his cape,
did not get it, stopped at Ben Cobb’s steps, left there
and went to steps under awning in front of Castleber
ry’s store, Jones sat down, witness lay down, in a
short time Fleming came across from Cook's with a
black bat polled down over his face, stooped and
looked at witness, went a few step* away, came
back, stooped and looked at us again
I told him he had better leave, or he would get kicked.’
He cursed powerfully, called Cook, told Cook a d—d
rascal had insulted him. I told him I thought be wa®
a negro, and Jones said, “ Hilliard, he was mistaken."
He kept cursing. I said, "Let’s lock him up." Jones
said, " His cursing don’t disturb anybody; it is late."
Cook agreed to take him home, and they started and
got down to the alley near Lowe’s. We started to
light the lamps; reached the last lamp on tbe corner of
Castleberry’s property. Fleming jerked loose from
Cook and came back by us; said, “ I’ll learn you how
to waylay me, you G—d—d villains;" went across the
street and said, "I'll sec you again, you G—d—d ras
cals;" he went on towards tbe United States
barracks. We stood still two or three minutes,
When he had gone short distance he blew a whistle
like Police whistle—went further and hallowed loudly.
We went towards Barracks, crossing street in flat.
Went ont right side of street to Cox’s beyond Bettis’;
listened sometime, heard nothing, concluded he had
gone home and were glad of it; started back np Street
Railroad intending to light lamps—got neariy opposite
Bettis’—saw two men coming Into Peters street from
Walker street ; they turned and came up to us, had
bands behind them ; we said good evening ; Hilliard
said : " is that you Tom ?’’ Jones said, “ yea." Hilliard
said, " Now, G— d— you, I’ve got you ;" at the same
time etriking at Jones with palin?; I caught blow en left
shoulder and arm ; not seriously hurt; 1 ran towards
Doanes diagonally across street; Jones ran down street
R. R. track towards barracks—both Flemings followed
him striking at him; I turned and Jones turned at the
same time. I saw the flash of a pistol from one of the
Flemings and think it was at Boyd. Jones then fired
two shot and started to run; I had come up and told
him to stop. Hilliard Fleming fell; we went up to
Boyd and asked who shot. He said it was “him,"
pointing to where Hillard was lying. Jones exam
ined tbe body for a pistol, and looked round for a pis
tol but found none; he did not search Boyd and Flem
ing for a pistol. Jones went to the Station Houae to
report the occurence; I remained with the body until
others came np; Boyd and I examined the houses for
bullet marks but found none. Lieutenant Holcombe
put me under arrest and canied me to town. Had no
acquaintance with deceased. (There was much more
of his testimony; this is merely the substance of it.)
M. T. Castleberry, L. H. Davis, T. G. Heaiy, S. D.
Haslett, R. B. Hutchins, Henry Holcombe and G. B.
Stewart testified that deceased was considered a dan
gerous man when Intoxicated or excited.
Defense closed.
The State Introduced Mr. Trotty, whoae testimony
varied slightly from that before the Coroner’s inquest
as to tbe shooting. Had examined the bullet marks in
Garamsge’s house; shota came from different di
rections.
Geo. Wilcox, (col.) was near Bonus, just this side ol
the scene of the homicide—heard four ahots from the
side of atreet next Doanes, saw two men near that
aide of street tome distance apart. Thos. Croft was a
few feet In front of witness Wilcox, heard three or
fonr shots, some one exclaimed yov’ve hit me or
you’ve killed me—shots fired In rapid succession.
Thos, Scott caw impressions of bullets, came from
different directions, saw balls said to have been ex
tracted from these places, one larger than the other.
Frank Ayrea (soldier) corroborates Boyd Fleming’s
statement of tbe killing throughout. Said, on cross-
examination, he had been down town; took a drink of
whisky at Carroll's, and a drink of peach brandy at tbe
Clipper Saloon. (Defense afterward proved that the
Clipper Saloon had been closed for a month or more,
thus contradicting this witness to that extent.)
El berry Beeves corroborates Boyd Floming’s ac
count of what occurred at Boyd’s house, except that
be thinks the language used by Hilliard was, "Get np
and go with me, and see that I am not imposed upon."
M. B. Gammage testified to appearance of houae, aa
to bullet marks, etc., and that Boyd and Fleming ex
tracted balls.
A diagram of the locality, tbe prisoners’ pistols and
bullets were put in evidence by the State, and both
parties closed.
Tbe prisoner made his statement corroborating
O'Shield’s account of tbe matter in every particular.
His manner was cool and collected throughout
While his statement was being made, sons negro
woman disturbed tbe Court by eatiag peanuts, and
came near being schooled a little in Court discipline.
Intense interest Is felt In the result of the trial—the
general impression being that it will result in a verdict
of not guilty.
The Court room was packed again at night by par-

PROSPECT IN COBB COUNTY—HARVESTING
WHEAT—CORN SILKS—POWDER SPRINGS—AGRI
CULTURAL SOCIETY—MINERAL WATER.
Eva
i Chapel Sunday School.
Perhaps of all terrestrial beings the local editor of a
newspaper is tbe least adapted to rural scenery, and
general rule has the least inclination to traLBfer
himself outside the corporate limits of a city, even for
brief space of time; bot whether this is a result
produced by a proper or improper method of thought
or taste is immaterial for the purpose in view. Suffice
it to say, that considering ourselves a fortunate ex
ception to the general rule referred to, and em
bracing with a glad heart and willing mind the
opportunity afforded of spending a few days
in the country. Cobb, the banner county (by
reason of that five hundred dollars obtained ss a
premium at the last State Fair, and which every other
similar division of Georgia remembers) was made the
objective point. Arriving at Marietta, our destina
tion—much less predestination—had not been reached
and a horse and buggy were called into requisition,
to convey us to the quiet village and pleasant summer
retreat, Powder Springs. There on Saturday evening
last Wc found the Powder Springs Agricultural Society,
of which that excellent gentleman, Judge A. C. McIn
tosh, Is the President, in session and considering im
portant business relating to the agricultural interests
of the country. This is one of the finest farming sec
tions in Cobb county, and there has been a profound
and extensive awakening of the people on the subject
of progress, improvement and succeas iu agriculture.
Hence the existence of this clnb, which is composed
of the bone and sinew of the country. At this meet
ing it was resolved to hold a Fair at Powder Springs
on Thursday, the 24th day of July next. The neces
sary committees, including one on general manage
ment, were appointed, and will forthwith take such
action in the matter as may be necessary to render it
an occasion worthy of the community in whose midst
it is to be held. A premium list will be prepared and
submitted in ample time. This reporter was honored
with a call to address the farmers in Convention as
sembled, but of course, for the best of reasons, de
clined. We were pleased to find the Herald, both
daily and weekly, popular and a favorito in this intel
ligent community.
The crops generally are quite promising and if there
shall be a sufficient cessation of rain, to give time and
opportunity to clear them of the grass and weeds, tbe
yield will be abundant, judging from present indica
tions. The contest of the farmer with the growing
grass, though successful in most ins ances, has been
“warm," calling into vigorous exercise all liis physi
cal and mental powers. But few crops are :
dangerous condition. Cotton, corn and oats arc fine,
while there is not more than two-thirda of an average
crop of wheat. There is comparatively but a small
portion of corn planted throughout the connty, but
a few small patches of an early variety, we discov
ered silks. Wo also noticed that several fields of
wheat had been harvested. Tbe fruit crop is bounti
ful—all that could be desired.
Tbe medicinal properties of ihe water of these
justly celebrated Powder Springs, (of which there are
three), are known throughout the State, and during
the summer season, invalids from different sections
rosign themselves to its healing powers. A want of
ample hotel accommodations only prevents this from
becoming at once a great resort, and as the Georgia
Western runs within a few miles, we apprehend that
when completed, all needed improvements will be
made, and a* the analysis proves it to be as good min
eral water as any in the State, and as it ia nearer At
lanta than any except those in the suburbs of the city,
the patronage of our people can, to a certain extent,
be thrown in this direction.
In Marietta a gentleman cognizant of tho facts and
acquainted with the parties on which tbe interroga
tory is based submitted to us the following proposition,
which, aa we don’t feel selfish enough to appropriate
to our own exclusive use, we give to the readers of the
HeiKald:
"Their grandfathers are brothers, their grandmoth
ers sisters, their fathers double cousins, their mothers
sisters. How arc the children related to each other."
The children now reside in Marietta. The city clock
at this place of which the Journal has said so mnch
recently can bo seen in the city by ascendiug a ladder
to its top, or by climbing a telegraph pole, so we are
informed by those who have tried It. We neglec
ted while in the city to adopt this
method, and couldn’t see it, and didn't see it. But
then it is a good clock, and answers fully all the pur
poses for which it was designed, and we congratulate
the good people of Marietta on having procured its
timely service, and as the aforesaid climbing consti
tutes no untimely adoration wo withdraw all objec
tions to it.
The members of this young and flourishing School
will pic-nic at West End on Saturday next, at which
time it Ib proposed by them to recompense in pleas
ure, real and unalloyed, tbe short delay in regard to
the matter of reunion, refreshment and recreation.
This Is a splendid school from Superintendent down,
and we predict that ordinarily whatever they under
take will be accomplished.

gers to and from the picnic and entertainment given
by the Gate City Band at Wett End. The festivities of
the day began at an early hour, and wero kept
up almost without cessation until late in the
ening. Of course.thc best of music from that best
of bands, constituted a very important and interest
ing feature, cheering the melancholy and relieving the
of all thoughts of the horrors of the
cholera. The splendid platform was used for dan-
ig, which progressed until five o’clock in- the
evening, when the concert came off. This was
indeed the cream ef the day as it was one of the live
liest and most soul stiring affairs that has coino be
fore us for several days, aud it was witnessed
and enjoyed by a largo audience of Atlanta’s
first class citizens. Several Aldermen were
seen on the grounds during tho day aud at
times on the platform erected especially for
the benefit of those who feel an interest in the wel*
fare of tho city—who are legion. Through the evo
ning the crowd continued up to the usual standard,
and it is doubtless a source of gratification to the
members of tbe Gate City to know that their musical
tilent and taste in getting up such an entertainment
were appreciated by tha people, and that the picnic
was in fact, wbat it deserved to be, a brilliant success.

Board of Charities. But tho testimony of tho
census-takers to the existence of those unre

tho testimony of physicians to the existence of
those unreported by the census-takers is equal

Special Correspondent New York Times.
West Point, Jane 6, 1873.
Aware of the comparatively recent order of
the War Department by which it was made a
very serious matter lor a Weet Point cadet to
be detected amusing himself at the one-sided
sport called “hazing,” oug might expect to
find that this abuse had been almost entirely
abolished, more especially at the present time,
when the Honorable Secretary of War is him
self a guest at the Point.
But it is not in human nature —or in boy
nature, at least—to let slip an opportunity to
have a little fun by annoying ono who is
friendless in a strange place, and whom we
know is at our mercy; and there is probably
not a large school in the country, either civil
or military, where “hazing” does not exist to
some extent. That it is still practised here—
though in a much milder form than a few
years ago—I have abundant reason for be
lieving, having taken some pains to talk with
tbe unqualified “plebe*’' who have just left
here, and with those that remain; and as I
know that the Secretary of War has
expressed himself as very anxious to
root out all remains of this once
serious evil, a few words upon the
subject cannot be out of place, especially as
tho victims will talk unreservedly to a civil
ian, while the pride which all spirited boys
have will prevent them from “telling tales”
by complaining to Superintendent linger or
any of tho other officers. It is this dread of
being considered tell-tales, and the knowledge
that their tormentors do not really mean them
any serious harm, that keeps the “plebes” si
lent; and although none of them have auy
very dreadful disclosures to make, the public
should know that “hazing” still exists, and
that the unfortunate new-comer is still sub
jected to a series of petty annoyances and lit
tle persecutions which arc very unpleasant to
him, to say the least, and which should not
be tolerated in a great national institution like
the West Point Military School.
Take, for illustration, tho experiences of a
good-natured-looking Western lad, told me in
a half-laughing manner, and without any of the
exaggeration which bad temper might indulge [
in. After reporting bis arrival to the Adjutant
he was told to repoit also to one of the cadet
officers. At this young gentleman’s quarters
the novice was sharply told to come in, and as
ho obsequiously entered the room, hat in
hand, was jumped at by the cadet “as though
be would eat me,” to use the “plebe’s” ex
pression, and ordered out again with
the remark, “we don’t allow any bats
in here, Sir.” After dropping his hat, and
being ordered to pick it up again aud place
in a corner two or three times, the new
comer was made to repeat again and again
the form of reporting his arrival, because he
neglected to address the cauet as “Sir,” and
after being made to stand attention—a tire
some position to the unitiated—and taught
the’military salute, with much abuse for his
awkwardness, the young “plebe” was next
ordered to accompany two others and report
his arival to another cadet, using the expres
sion “with two other beasts,” the zoological
term being one of the pet names by which a
novice is addressed by the veterans of the
fourth class. His luggage had, in the mean
time, been taken possession of and spread out
on tbe floor, some oranges aud other edi
bles being confiscated by the cadet
and his friends, amid various jeering
remarks. While on his way with tlie two
others to report to the second cadet,
he accidently slipped on a step, and
was ordered back to the first young gentle
man’s room and made to stand attention with
his nose against the wall, “for making un
necessary noise,” in company with about a
dozen other unfortunates. After standing
until he was very tired, tho lad was ordered
to go and commit to memory paragraph
three hundred aud something of the regula
tions. Failing to get it exactly verbatim, he
was repeatedly sent back. By every cadet
who met him he was put through certain un
comfortable motions aud sharply reprimanded
and abused, so that ho enjoyed but little rest.
Ho slept on the floor with other candidates,and
in the morning all were compelled to pile up
tho bedding with a mathematical nicety, only
to have it knocked down again and again by
the cadets, one after tho other, who ordered
them to replace it. He was ordered to go and
take a bath and report again in exactly fifteen
minutes, aud he and the others were sent upon
various errands, with orders to be back in au
impossibly short time, not knowing that the
cadet officers had no right to enforce obedi
ence to such silly commands, and no power to
inflict punishment if they were not performed,
Ithe unfortunate becoming fagged out with the
useless tasks imposed upon him.
All the “plebes” with whom I spoke com
plained of numberless little persecutions and
indignities, and even at the drilling called
“setting up,” which is legitimate military
training, tbe commands are given and the
criticism aud reprimands uttered in a manner
which is very galling to a boy of any spirit. If
a “plebo” is caught away from his quarters he
is put through au absurd catechism, and if ho
is as timid as many studious boys are, he prob
ably supposes that unless he answers every
question a drum-head court martial or shoot
ing on tho spot will bo the immediate result.
A favorite amusement is to approach a plebe iu
a swaggering, bullying manner, and after
making him stand attention, salute his “su
perior” or perform some other military ges
ture, demand iu a savage tone, “Are you a
fighting man, sir ?” If the frightened stranger
timidly answer, “No sir,” bis questioner de
mands, “Then wliat do you mean, sir, by
coming here? We want fighting men, sir;
go home and hoe corn.” If the “plebe” is
more courageous, and dares to answer “yes,’
his tormentor will answer, “Very well, sir;
you shall have enough to do,” at the same
time assuming a belligerent attitude, and in
viting him to “come out and begin on me.”|
Master Fred Grant, it is said, had to go
through a whole class “on his muscle.”
Some of the tricks played on the poor
“plebes” display a fine sense of humor, and
one’s first impulse is to laugh at the many
comical stories that are told at the expense ol r
the “plebes,” even while realizing the neces
sity of preventing tho manifestation of snch
mischievousness in the future, and affording
better protection for the new-comers. There
is a keen appreciation of satire in
compelling some happy and misera
ble “plebe” to dance and sing, “Oh !
I just feel as happy as a big sun flower,” but it
is not the less reprehensible; and there may be
something funny iu forcing a disgusted plebe
to make a spreap-eagle speech highly eulogis
tic of West Point in general, and the cadets
iu particular, or to staud on one leg and chant
the Doxology, while ho feels more in the
humor for profanity, but it is at the same
time very wrong.
Many instances of this form of “hazing”
might be cited, but the above are enough to
answer the purpose of this letter, which is
merely to show that this evil is not entirely
eradicated from the national training-school
of our soldiers, not to criticise the officers of
tbe school, who probably do the best they
can under the present system, nor
ignore the fact that the abuse
has been greatly * lessened aud the
condition of the “plebes” much better than in
former years. Increased surveillance is nec
essary to protect the candidate for admission,
and it should bo part of tho education of the
young cadets that a true soldier must be a per
fect gentleman; that a model officer is as chiv
alrous as he is brave; that it is his duty to
shield, not to assault, tho unprotected; and
that those who are to be their fellow-soldiers
should be treated with courtesy at least.

the system, and renovate the feeble, fainting powers
of nature. Its operation upon the tissnea of the body
docs not consist in affecting tho irritability of the liv
ing fibre, but iu imparting a sound aud healthy stim
ulus to tho Vital Organs.
It strengthens substantially and durably the living
powers of the animal machine; is entirely Innocent
and harmless; may be administered with impunity to
both sexes, and all conditions of life.
There is no disease of any name or nature, whether
of old or young, male or fomale, but that it is proper
to administer it. and if it be done seasonably and pre*
aervingly, it will have a good effect. It ia perfectly in
credible to those unacquainted with the Bitter*, the
facility with which a healthy action i* often in the
worst cases restored to the exhausted organs of the
system ; with a degree of animation and desire for food
which ia perfectly astonishing to all who perceive it.
This Medicine purifies the blood, restores the tonic
power of the fibres and of the stomach and digestive
organs; rouses the animal spirits, and re-animate* the
broken down constitutions of mankind.
