Georgia State News:
Scrrency Ghosts Again. —The Val
dosta Times says:
There is another strange tale told here
in regard to the "Surrency ghosts.” We
were shown this morning by Mr. Sur
rency's son several pieces of silver cur
rency, amounting to about one dollar and
a half, that he avows were thrown into
the house several nights ago by some
unknown hand. It was not recognized as
having been the property of any one on
the premises—nor has been claimed by
any one.
M. F. Tutwiler writes a long letter
strongly advocating the building of a nar
row gauge liailroad trom Griffin to Sand
town.
The Thomasville Enterprise says "J N”
made a very moving address there—that
is he moved everybody out of the house
before he got to that point whete the hat
was to be passed urouud. The iniatiou
fee was fixed at the very moderate price
of nothing, but the hat was understood.
Unfortunate Accident. —Capt. F.
Edgeworth Eve, of Columbia County met
with a painful and rather serious accident
in returning home from Appling last
Wednesday. We have been unable to get
the particulars, but learn that his horses
which he was driving to his buggy ran
away, throwing him out and breaking his
leg in two places—ene above and one be
low the knee—from the effects f which it
was feared that amputation would be ne
cessary. We trust however, that this may
not prove true, and hope in a short while
to announce that the Captain is himself
again. —McDuffie Journal.
Rumored Settlement. —W. D. Cook,
now confined in Fulton jail, informed a
reporter of the Constitution last night that
A. L. Harris and himself have settled their
matters with the State. Cook is to pay
15,000 to-day and Harris $7,000. Harris
is at home in the custody of the bailiff.—
Atlanta Constitution.
Distinguished Visitors.— General Si
mon Cameron, the famed Pennsylvania
politician ; Postmaster General J. A. J.
Cresswell ; Senator T. O. Howe, of Wis
consin, with their wives, reached this city
Wednesday morning in a splendid sleeping
car belonging to the “Northern Centra!
Railroad.” They spent the day in Atlanta
visiting prominent points. They dined
with W. C. Morrill, Treasurer of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad. The
sleeping car was an elegant affair, with
cooking stove, center table, etc. The party
left at 1 o’clock this morning via the At
lanta and West Point Railroad for New
Orleans. At New Orleans they will pro
ceed in a revenue cutter to the coast of
Florida, and return to New Orleans;
thence through Mississippi, Tennessee and
Kentucky, by rail, home.— At. Con.
The Columbus Sun :
Twenty thousand dollars will more than
cover all the losses in the city sustained by
Tuesday’s storm. The first valuations
were largely in excess. We have little
idea of the losses in money in the country,
but it is very heavy.
Garnishment op Wages for Provi
sions.—The act of the Legislature author
izing the garnishment of a man’s salary or
wages in satisfaction of all dues to grocers
and others for provisions, is creating some
stir in a great many of the cities. Many
■of the railroad officers are becoming wea
ried of being summoned to appear before
magistrates regarding their employees. A
prominent official in Atlanta has notified
taill under him, that he will charge five
dollars for answering every summons so
served on him ! Another, that he will dis
charge every employee for whom he is
thus served—when the claim is substan
tiated. They say there is no exeuse for
men not to pay for what they eat.
Dr. Wills. —The Jacksonville (Fla.,)
News, in noticing the return of Rev. Dr.
Wills from that town, where he has been
spending the winter,to his borne in Atlanta,
says : His many friends in Florida, and he
has made troops of them wherever he has
wisited.will join us in the expression of pro
ffeund regret at his departure. We earn
estiy hope to see him again and often in the
pulpit, to which during the winter he has
contributed so much attraction.
Terrible Tornado in North Geor
gia —The Dalton Citizen, of yesterday,
states that on Tuesday morning a violent
storm broke over that town and continued
for several hours, during which time hail
fell plentifully. Six miles above Dalton
the wind increased to a hurricane, carry
ing houses, fences and trees before it. A
Mrs. Dyer was injured by her house being
blown down, her five children escaping,
notwithstanding the timbers of the build
ing were scattered for forty yards around.
Mrs. D. was seriously injured.
The Citizen states that the destruction
in Dogwood Valley was great, every ves
tige of timber being swept off in some lo
calities. The double log house of Dr.
Harlan was blown down and scattered to
the winds with all its furniture and con
tents, and his wife, who was in the house
alone, being seriously if not fatally in
jured by the falling timbers.
The house of Mr. Cam Beardon, says
the Citizen, about two miles east, was
blown down and the weather boarding
and frame work scattered to Rock Face
Mountain, a mile distant. Beds and
bed clothing were borne away, and bacon
sides blown to a distance of three hundred
yards. Mrs. Bearden and her daughter
rushed from the house before it went to
pieces. The daughter, however, received
a severe wound in the bead.
The house of Mr. Adams, in the same
neighborhood, was demolished.
Says the Talbolton Standard :
Hail Srorm I —A tremendous hail storm
visited this section yesterday at noon. We
have never in our lifetime seen the like.
Hail stones fell here nearly as large as an
egg, (hot a goose egg, but a hen egg) The
small sky-light in the roof of our office was
crushed; the one in Dennis & Baldwin’s
store met with the same fate. Mr. J. T.
Willis had forty eight panes of glass broken
on one side of his house. The gale was
very heavy; fences, etc., stood no chances
before it. The front of the Wilson store
was blown off, and a great many darkies
thought “dat de judgment day had come.”
We did not get the worst of the stoim, as
the heaviest part passed to the north of us
The Lawrenceville Post office was
broken open and robbed of fifteen dollars
last week.
Convention of Govekneks. —The
Atlanta Constitution publishes a letter
from Gov. Smith to the Governors of
several States, inviting them to meet in
convention, in Atlanta, on the 20th day of
May next, to take into consideration the
interests of the Western canal.
Governor Smith writes:
In my judgment the time lias come
for a meeting, such as the one mentioned,
in order that the advantages of the pro
posed enterprise may be more thoroughly
discussed aDd under stood, and some defi
nite plan of action for its accomplishment
matured. My object in addressing you
this communication is to earnestly and
cordially invite you to unite in a conver
sation of the Governors of the Southern.
Western and Northwestern States, to be
held for the purpose mentioned at Atlanta,
Ga., on the 2(lth day of May next.
If it should not suit your convenience
to be present, in person, at the Conyentiou
mentioned, may I ask that your Excel
lency will do us the honor to send such a
delegation thereto as will represent your
own wishes and interests of our State.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist:
Church Blown Down in Hamburg.
During the storm of Tuesday afternoon,
the Colored Baptist Church in Hamburg
was blown completely down. Other
buildings, and a number of chimneys, in
the village, were destroyed by the gale.
Damage by the Storm. —A number of
buildings in and near Kaolin and Bath, on
the South Carolina Railroad, were seri
ausly damaged by the storm of Tuesday
afternoon. A building of Kaolin was lifted
from its support, and laid on the ground
without being overturned. Other build
ings were unroofed in the neighborhood,
and considerable damage sustained
throughout the neighborhood.
In Augusta, a number of trees were
blown down, and bill-boards and fences
prostrated. The storm was wide spread,
apparently, in its devastations.
Obituary. —Mrs. Theodosia Ford,
widow of the late Rev. E. E. Ford, for a
number of years Rector of St. Paul's
Episcopal Church, in this city, died Tues
day morning, in Macon.
A large circle of friends and relatives
will learn with deep sorrow, of the death
of this estimable lady, who was endeaied
to them by ties which only death conld
sever, and her memory will long bo revered
for her many womanly virtues aud pure,
Christian character. The interment will
take place at 11 o'clock, in
Macon.
Fire on the Central Railroad
A fire broke out at the warehouse at No.
10, on the Central Railroad last Saturday
night, resulting in the destruction of the
building and contents.
Air Line Railroad Through
Trains on Monday Next. —The hoarse
snort of tlie iron horse will be beard on
Monday next, reverberating among tlie
hills of Spartanburg, echoing and re-echo
ing along the rocky shores of Pacolett.
proclaiming the signal which unites us
with a stroag and friendly clasp, to our
sister, State of North Carolina. Yes, the
Air-Line will, on that day, open another
gate; give us another exit into the outer
world—put us another step forward in the
grand march of civilization and progress,
and give a shake to the old stagnant,
murky blood, that now meanders so slow-
Jy through our apathetic limbs. —Carolina
Spartan.
Pestmaster-General t’resweil
Coming Mouth.
The Washington Agent, of the New
York Herald dispatches that paper from
Washington, under date of March 31st.
In the course of the conversation tlie
Postmaster-General gave the following
important information to your correspond
ent :
“ I expeect to leave to morrow evening
or Tuesday morning on a trip to the South,
in company with Senators Howe and
Cameron. We shall go, in the first place,
to Charleston, and then continue the trip
further South. I shall be gone about two
weeks unless some trouble happens again
in the meantime requiring my immediate
presence in Washington. The strain of
work has been very severe upon me all
last season and I need some recreation. I
intended to start about a week ago, but
this poatal car controversy arose and
changed my plan. The principal object of
my trip is, however, to inspect the postal
service in the South in order to see what
improvements can be made, for which
there is plenty of room, although I think
the service has been much better done of
late than in former years.”
After some further remarks, not of pub
lic interest, your correspondent departed,
wishing bon voyage to the courteous Post
master-General.
Boston’s burned district is to be rebuilt
on a plan peculiarly appropriate for the
“Hub.” namely, after the pattern of a
wheel, with straight streets radiating like
spokes from a common center, and a
cuived avenue at the periphery, in which
fellows may circle till they are tired. This
scheme is said to have been proposed for
London by Sir Christopher Wren, and
will doubtless give occasion for a formal
ceremony of Wren-ovation when com
pleted in the Home of Jubilee.
