Macon Pailjj Inter prise. Stevenson & Smith, Proprietors, 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.
