General News.
Macon County.—A letter from Oglethorpe,
tho 14th inst, says fields and gardens look well
considering the cold and dry weather. We have
had no rain in fire weeks. From a quarter to
a third of the cotton planted has not come np,
on acconct of the drought.
Methodist Re-Union,—It will be seen from
tho telegrams that the General Conference of
Memphis has decided that tho trne interests of
the Chnrch demand a separate and distinct or
ganization.
Another Ahwtt> Expedition foe Cota.—The
telegrams report tho sailing of an expedition
from New York, Saturday morning, with stores
of arms and amnnition. It is kind to give tho
Spanish authorities due notice.
South Cabolina Rahjioad.—A new schedule
went into operation last Sunday. Tho day
trains for Augusta and Columbia will leave
Charleston, as at present, at 8:30 A. M., arriv
ing at Augusta at 4:25 p. m., (instead of 4:45,)
and at Colombia at 4:10 p. m., (instead of 4:40.)
The Augusta night train will leave Charleston
at 8:30 p. u., and arrive at Augusta at 7:05 a.
m., and tho Columbia night train, leaving
Charleston at 7:30 p. u., will arrive atColumbia
at 6 a. m.
Connecticut.—What ha3 got into the Land
of Steady Habits? Gov. English’s recent mes
sage shows 491 divorces in that Stato within
a year—being a proportion of one ont of four
to the marriages. Is that the way Oonnecticnt
is going to salt the oarth, morally?
The State of Washington.—Washington
Territory wants to come into the Union with a
total of 5,338 votes—and as the Radicals like
her better than Georgia, they are going to let
her in—so it is said.
, Woman Suffbaoe.—Boston exploded on wo
man snffrago lost Thursday. Henry Ward
Beecher made a speech in favor of it, and Miss
Catherine E. Beecher, his eldest sister, pre
sented a written address against tho movement.
Miss Catherine has matnrer age and sounder
judgment.
A Gbeat Fibe in the Woods.—Up to last
Friday a terrible fire wa3 raging in the woods of
Sullivan, Orange and Madison connties, New
York, over a territory of a hundred square miles.
The loss was estimated at over five millions,
and it was feared that one family had been
burnt. The spectaclo at night was terrible. It
appears that they are having as dry times in tho
North as we are in Georgia.
A Scbew Loose.—The North Carolina negro
convention was to ro-nominate Gen. Grant for
the Presidency. Failing to do it, it is feared
there is a screw loose somewhere.
A San Domingo meeting was held in Cooper
Institute, New York, last Thursday night, in
which Moses H. Grinnell, Moses Taylor, Henry
Clews, Marshall O. Roberts, G. D. and E. T.
Morgan, A. T. Stewart, and many other nota
bles, figured. John Cochrane, General Banks,
Judge Fithian, and Fitch, of Nevada, did the
talking; and resolutions declaring in favor of a
general acquisition of tho Caribbean Islands,
and particularly St. Domingo, were passed.
San Domingo is to be annexed.
ThA FijSN 011 Vote.—The total veto r?n the
Plebisuitum stands as follows: Yes, 7,336,434;
No, 1,560,709. In Algeria the following is the
result: Civilian—Yea, 10,791; No, 13,481.
Army—Yes, 80,175; No, 6,029.
Weai.th op Bbigham Youno.—It is said that
Brigham Young has invested, through a New
York house, sixty millions of securities, and has
enough possessions besides in Great Britain to
make him the largest depositor in the Bank of
England.
Poos Old South.—Brother Forney’s Press
says “Mississippi has found ont that her Cap
itol building is nearly as defective and danger
ous as that of Virginia. The poor South evi
dently needs material as well as social and po
litical reconstruction.” And how about that
poor old department building which had to be
braced np the other day, and the reconstructed
Opera Honse in Atlanta.
John A. Logan was re-elected Commander-
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republio
last Thursday, after ncontestof the Eastagainst
the West.
Andy Johnson.—A Knoxville paper says that
shortly before Mr. Johnson loft the White
Honse, he purchased a valuable farm of 350
acres, and erected extensive flouring mills on it.
His son-in-law, ex-Senator Patterson, resides on
this farm, which is sitnated near Greenville,
and runs the mills. Johnson has lately bought
also a whole brick block in Greenville, and i3
expected to start a bank.
Anti-Female Suffrage Organ.—The Herald’s
Washington special of the 11th says:
Mrs. E. A. Lane, a rather handsome woman
of abont thirty, is here getting what encourage
ment she can towards starting a weekly paper
in the interests of the working women. It is to
oppose woman suffrage and the numerous isms
connected therewith. Gen. Batler endorses the
project, and to-day gave Mrs. Lane a check for
$500. Senator Wilson gave fifty dollars. It
is said that Senator Sprague gave SI000, with
liberty to draw upon him “at sight" in case of
need. Other Senators and members are giving
liberally, and Mrs.'Lane will probably go away
with a substantial proof of the opposition of
Congressmen to woman suffrage.
Thb Qoeen.—Qneen Victoria appeared in
State before her London snbjects lost Wednes
day, and was very affectionately greeted by the
people at every step of her progress.
New Yobs Election.—Tho Judicial Election
in New York takes place to-day. The Sun (Rad
ical) says, “the Republican party will probably
be beaten ont of sight.”
New Yobk Palace of Industby.—The Snn
says that at the meeting of this company, on
Thursday last, two millions of dollars, in certi
fied checks and convertible securities, were de
posited with the Treasurer. The Association
means business.
Shocking Accident.—The Charleston News
says that on Wednesday night last the two sons
of Mr. John Chadwick, the well known pro
jector and proprietor of the Academy of Music
of that city, were in conversation on his planta
tion, on Wadmalaw Island, when a pistol in the
hands of the other, Mr. John Chadwick, Jr.,
was accidentally discharged, and his brother,
Mr. Luke D. Chadwick, mortally wounded. Tho
pistol was not supposed to be loaded, and while
be talked, Mr. Chadwick was toying with the
hammer. Suddenly his thumb slipped, there
was a report, and in an instant his brother
Luke lay stricken upon the ground. The ball
had penetrated near the right temple.
Twenty families of Josephito Mormon
numbering in all one hundred souls, have this
week left Utah for their old homes in the States.
It is stated that in the villages of New Eng
land whero the Maine law is enforced, the in
crease in the sale of opinm is so large as to at
tract attention.
The Calcutta Englishman, of March 8d, re
ports that cotton in the central provinces of
India has suffered during the past year from
damp weather, rain, red fly and boll worm, and
in many parts the loss is estimated at fifty per

Senator Snmner, in his supplementary civil
rights bill pushes tho jurisdiction of Congress
into the grave-yards—but will he stop there ?
Will the authority of the U. S. Congress cease
and determine with the cold and lifeless clay of
the dead citizen, and the narrow boundary of
time, or aspire to the loftier part which has
only ascended where the widest * distinctions
on account of previons'eondition” exist, and the
Radical idea of equality, if we may credit
Revelation, has no recognition at alL We doubt
if the U. S. Congress means to stop with dead
men and grave-yards. Their pride and indig
nation catch fire with the thought that no
equality exists beyond the grave, and although
Snmner announces that he means to stop at the
grave-yards, before the year is out, the supreme
Congress, like the old Babellions will insist on
pushing their jurisdiction into the skies.
Snmner’s supplementary bill requires all ho
tels, restaurants, railroads, theatres, churches,
concert halls, academies, common schools, col
leges etc., to treat persons of all races or colors
alike, and imposes penalties punishable on con
viction in the United States Courts for any re
fusal of any privilege to any one on account of
he or sho being of African descent. It prohib
its cemeteries from being devoted to the sepul
ture, exclusively, of white people.
So says the telegram, and we like the idea,
because it presents the proposition of social
amalgamation and intermixture broadly and
sharply to the American people. There is no
longer any room for sneaking and evasion. The
Radicals can no longer prate abont an equality
of mere political rights, and sneer at the cow
ardice which fears that the concession of civil
equality will result in social eqnality. That is
played ont; and now here is a plain proposi
tion to demand and enforce, through the United
States Courts, not only a social intermixture
daring life, bnt a common sepulture after death.
There can be no mistake abont this proposi
tion, and it is one which brings np the Ameri
can people to the- plain, trne and real issue on
this whole neero bnsiness. It is for them to
ssy whether they mean impiously to Ignore the
plain distinctions of God Almighty himself,
showing to every man who will open his eyes
that the Almighty conld never have intended
the white and the negro for either social or po
litical affiliation, or whether they mean as their
fathers did, that the white race shall govern and
rule this country. We are content to abide the
decision of the people on this issue.
A few Words on tlie Meat Question.
The Now Orleans Picayune in the course of
some very sensible talk for planters, takes np
tho question of meat. It declares that to-day
we find meats relatively dearer even than cotton
itself. Pork, which sold, in 18G0, for $15 and
$16 dollars per bbL, now commands abont
$30 50(2)31 Q0, and will go mnch higher. Lard,
which formerly brought I0@11 cents lb., now
sells at 19 cents. Beef has advanced more than
one hundred per cent. Many of onr planters
are inclined to view these high pricos as the
resnlt of a combination of speculative influen
ces, and hope to seo a speedy redaction at any
time. In this they are sadly mistaken. There
may be an effective local combination occasion
ally, bnt the genoral increased value of the meat
food is due to the same cause as the advance on
cotton; that is, the demand outstripping the
supply. The returns of the Agricultural Bureau
show that the number of beeves, swine and
sheep is enormously reduced below the proper
ratio to the population. Cereals have been
selling atenhanced values,whieh has discouraged
stock raising, until the meat question has be
come one of serious import, not only to the
Sonth, bnt the whole country. The American
people are particularly fond of animal food, and
while population has gone on increasing, the
production of meat has been almost stationary.
It will take several years to reduce their rela-
tivo cost, even shonld every means be resorted
to in order increase the supply.
Under these circumstances it behooves the
Southern planters to at once apply themselves
to tho work of stock raising. There is every
advantage with them, former suppositions to
the contrary notwithstanding.
The experience of the late war demonstrated
that as fine bacon can be pnt np in tho Southern
States as any that comes from the West. The
progress of science has removed all olimatio
difficulties in the way of packing on an exten
sive scale. The refrigerating process has pro
longed the packing season through the entire
year. In a-warehouse whero the temperature is
at a very small cost reduced to any desired point,
packing may be as thoroughly done beneath the
equator, as in the frozen regions of Alaska.
But a short time sines it was deemed necessary
to drive the beef cattle of Texas np to Chicago,
in order that they might be safely packed. To
day tho finest beef is being pnt np on the very
borders of Mexico. In fact, wo deem the time
as not far distant when Missonri, Indiana acd
Illinois will find formidable pork paoking com
petitors in Louisiana and Texas.
The upper portion of onr own State and Wes
tern Texas must soon produce hogs in abun
dance ; bnt it is not onr design to enconrage
hog raising in particular localities. We desire
to see it almost universal over the cotton Statea.
A-pound of good bacon will cost tho planter this
summer twenty cents. It will take exactly ore
pound of his best cotton in exchange. There are
few who will not agree with ns that the former
can be more easily and cheaply raised than the
latter. If the cotton crop shonld be increased,
prices will fall in proportion; bnt we may de
pend upon it that the cost of provisions will be
long in finding the old level. Let onr country
friends bear in mind that a conplo of litters of
pig3 costs thorn all the cotton that a good hand
can prodneo on the best allnvial land.
From Lnnrens Connty—'Without a
Mail.
A friend in Laurens writes us May 12th from
Lanrens Hill: “Six weeks passed away with
out a paper, when yesterday I received your
number of tho 10th. We have no moil route
at all to Lanrens Hill, and get onr papers by
private arrangement entirely. We send a
“truly loyal” representative from Lanrens,
with hide and hair of the right stamp precisely,
and it is surprising that Lanrens shonld not
havo the same mail facilities extended to other
portions of the Terrytory. Jnst think of it,
the county of the immortal Tronp, who won
tho prond name of the “noblest Roman of them
all” in the better days of the Republic, when
great men occupied tho floors of the Capitol at
Washington—his county is now represented by
an unlettered, wooly-head, and contrary to the
great civil rights bill, it is a distinction made
on account of color and wool, and his constitu
ents are treated as though they conld'nt read
the papers, or loft to get them as they can. It's
too bad 1 We have made a start, however, to
wards getting a mail, the commission and the
key have been forwarded some time ago to the
postmaster, bnt they don’t send the mail bog.-
We still depend on private arrangements, and
Cochran, on the Macon and Brunswick road is
the point from which we have made onr ar
rangements to get it. Be particular, therefore,
to send tho paper to Cochran.
The mornings here are cool and delightfnl to

The Georgia Press.
Up to Saturday, May 14th, the total cotton
receipts were G5,379 bales; shipped 572,02;
leaving stock on hand, 8,177 bales.
The Savannah cotton statement shows these
figures: Total receipts to Saturday, May 14 th,
435,624 bales of upland and 13,945 of sea
island cotton; shipped, 407,526 bales upland^
and 12,735 of sea island; leaving stock on
hand, 28,098 bales of upland, and 1,210 of sea
island.
The Americas Courier reports the weather
distressingly dry, with cool nights and mornings.
Crops, especially cotton, is needing rain much.
The Early County News says:
The weather continues dry, though we have
had a light rain since onr last issue. Crop re
ports from all portions of the connty are fav
orable, though the corn is very small. Farmers
stick close to home, and are giving their bnal
ness every attention.
The Columbus Enquirer says a lad named
Prather, ten or twelve years old, while attend
ing the machinery of the Eagle and Phoenix
Factory, Saturday afternoon, was caught by
one of the bands, and had hiB right arm, in the
fleshy part above the elbow, terribly lacerated,
and his left hand and wrist badly braised.
The Bainbridge Argus reports cool nights
and crops needing rain, bnt not suffering
materially. It hears serious complaints of the
stand of cotton west of Flint river. Some have
good stands, bnt we are told that the stands
generally are very poor.
The Athens Banner says “Col. R. S. Taylor
has been nominated as Postmaster at that place
and will probably be confirmed." Bat what has

The Snn says a handsome twelve horse power
engine was recently finished by the Columbns
Iron Works, for'the Central Railroad. It will
be stationed at Hillen.
Two trains con be watered bv it at the same
time, and the same power snpplies a saw mill
with which to ent wood for the engines. If it
snits, it will be introduced into every important
station on the Central, Southwestern and other
roads. ._
Mr. F. Thweatt, son-in-law of Mr. Robert
Simons, of Columbns, died in Enfanla, says the
Sun, on Saturday evening, from injuries re

an engine which passed over it while he was on
parade.
Taxes of Muscogee County.—For the fiscal
year ending April 16th, 1869, there were col
lected from Mnscogee connty $75,391 34, of
which $23,375 27 were for the State, and $46,-
016 07 for tho connty; in 1870, to same time,
$67,682 29, of which $26,380 79 were for the
State, and $37,301 50 for the connty.— Colum

The Athens Banner has the following with
reference to a matter that we did not suppose a
scoro of people had thought twice abont
We fonnd daring a visit to Atlanta, a good
deal of solicitnde on account of the contest for
the office of Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society. The press has abstained from any ref
erence to the subject, bnt we believe that the
interests of the sooiety cannot be best subserved
by silence. The trouble has grown ont of the
proposition to select a Secretary in an irregular
way. The friends of Col. Lewis feel that injns-
tice has been done him, but with a magnanimi
ty that does him honor, that gentleman consent
ed to withdraw, and does not wish his name or
his grievances to be considered, where the in
terests of the society are at stake. The friends
of CoL O. W. Howard claim that at the eleotion
first called by the President, he was fairly cho
sen, and they protest against a new election.
From all that we can learn, all parties will ac
quiesce in the postponement of an election un
til the regular meeting of the Society. If an
other election is held, we fear the effect will be
most damaging to the Society. We know that
some of its ablest and best friends will be total
ly estranged. We therefore deem it onr duty
to nrge the postponement of an eleotion until
after the Fair. Col. T. C. Howard is duly in
stalled as Assistant Secretary, and is an efficient
officer. We believe postponement will restore
harmony, and leave nothing in the way of the
success of the Society. We fear that an eleo
tion will produce dissatisfaction that years wifi
not heal.
Of cool weather and the crops, the Chronicle
& Sentinel discourses as follows:
We have had for the last ten days a spell of
the coolest weather ever known at this season
of the year.
Complaints are becoming serions on account
of the continned cold winds which have pre
vailed for some time past.
The Eastern portion of the State is also suf
fering seriously from a long drought. In many
connties jnst above this city no rain has fallen
within a month. Thousands of acres of cotton,
which were planted abont the 15th to the 25th
April, have failed to come np. We do not re
member to have heard so general complaint
of bad stands for several years past. Many
planters have large fields still implanted, and
are most anxiously awaiting rain to finish pat
ting their seed in the ground.
Wheat and oat crops, np to within the last
eight or ten days, have been very promising
The cold winds of the past week havo, it is
feared, seriously injured the wheat, and the
protracted drought has nearly rained the pros
pect for oats. The latter grain is now in its
most perilons condition—the heading season—
and if rain should fail to fall within a few days,
will prove a complete failure.
Vegetable gardens have never been so poor
and backward in this vicinity as they are the
present season. - Many of onr most experienced
fruit growers express the fear that this cool dry
snap will erase the little fruit left by the late
frosts, to drop prematurely from the trees.—
This was the case in this immediate section last
Spring, and the present has been a much more
nnpropitioas season.
Upon the whole, the agricultural ontlook is
anything bnt flattering, and if onr planters have
failed to plant a sufficient area of ground in corn
to supply fdlly their wants, we fear that the
year’s operations will terminate disastrously to
many who entered upon it with flattering pros
pects. .

England Against America—tho Gr,at
Yacht Race.
The race, a brief aoconnt of which by cable
to the Herald, is found below, has excited great
interest in many circles both here and abroad.
The yachts in question are built upon totally
different models, end represent the highest
naval architectural skill and intelligence of the
two countries in their design and construction.
It wonld seem, therefore, that the American
ship builders are ahead of their English rivals
in this particular branch of their bnsiness, at
least:
London, May 11, 1870.
The first of the series of three races, between
the American yAcht Sappho and the English
yacht Cambria, sixty miles to windward and re
turn, which commenced yesterday morning,
terminated this morning in the decided viotory
of the Sappho, who beat the Cambria from the
start at the latter’s best point of sailing, name
ly, tumiDg to windward.
The yachts were towed very early on tho
morning of the 10th to a point sixty miles south
east of Cowes Roads.
As a strong easterly wind was blowing, and
the race was to the windward, the courso was
np the channel. -
The American yacht Danntless and the Eng
lish yacht Pleiad, and a number of other Eng
lish craft and steamers accompanied the con
testing yachts. The soene at the start wob very
fine and exciting.
It was arranged by the umpires that a flying
start shonld be given on the port tack, by which
the yaohts wonld gain a greater offing towards
mid-channel in case of a change of wind. The
Cambria, having won the toss, took the weather
position, and thus had all the advantage at the
start.
The Sappho carried thirty-two hands and a
clond of canvass, inolnding, with her regular
fore and aft sails, a maintopmast staysail and
flying jib; while the Cambria only set one jib
jin addition to her foresail and other raring
sails, and carried twenty-six hands.
The signal to go was given at 28 minutes past
eight, a. m.
The Sappho took the lead from the start, and
by the time she was off Beachy Head and abont
fifty miles from the starting point, she was folly
ten miles to windward of the Cambria.
The latter, seeing it was impossible to win,
gavO'U]) the raoe, and without rounding the
umpire's steamer, retained to Cowes, where she
arrived at 4 o'clock this morning, accompanied
by the Danntless.
The Sappho, which at times was ont of sight
of the Cambria, returned to Cowes abont two
hours later.
Mr. Ashbury frankly admits his defeat. The
. econd raoe will be sailed on Friday.

The Methodist General Conference
—— -TOTMrpma. May 13, 1870.
Tho weather continues cool, and those who
sport summer costumes, are 'suffering from
coughs and colds. Winter clothing is still a
necessity and overcoats are a comfort even dar
ing the evening.
The preaching daring the entire session has
been of a practical and spiritual character. But
few have time to deliver “big sermons." Some
considerable revival influence is manifested and
several conversions and accessions to the chnrch
are reported.
The session thus far has been very harmoni
ous. Almost every point decided has been al
most unanimous. The committees are -large,
and any matter referred to them and decided
npoD, is almost certain to pass the body. This
was manifested on yesterday, by laying every
amendment proposed on the table, and the re
port of the committee adopted.
A report from the Committee on Books and
Periodicals was adopted, instructing the Book
Agent to publish a book on Chnrch Architec
ture. Several other reports were received and
adopted, bnt changing no important feature..
To-day was the time set apart for the consid.
orat ion of the report of the Committee on Itin
erancy, in reference to the Pastoral term. The
disenssion was introdneed by Dr. Young, of
Nashville. Ont of courtesy, Dr. Edwards and
Prof. Garland, the movers of the resolution,
were allowed thirty instead of fiftteen minutes.
The strongest men were divided on the subject,
and to-day is the first occasion that has brought
ont the talent and ability of the body. The
Conference adjourned with Dr. Garland on the
floor.
The looked-for report of the committee of
nine was not presented; bnt Bishop Janes and
Dr. Harris were present and took their leave of
the Conference in short and friendly speeches,
acknowledging the Christian and personal cour
tesy extended them by the Conference, collect
ively and individually. They go North to-night.
They were requested to preach by the commit
tee, on Fnblio Worship, and declined beoause
of official duties elsewhere. Bishop Jane3 de
sired this distinctly understood.
There is a lively contest going on between
Lonisville and Baltimore for the removal of the
Book concern from Nashville, Tenn. Louis
ville offers $50,000 as a bonus. The whole
subject is fixed for ventilation on next Tuesday
at 10 o’clock.
Rev. Dr. Matlock, of the Northern Methodist
Church, and press correspondent in New Or

His reports are fair and candid. Ho speaks
very kindly of Dr. L. Pierce and his speeoh.

New York Dry Goods Market.
We quote from the New York Mercantile
Journal, the following review of the Dry Goods
market for last week :
The past week has not shown mnch anima
tion. There have been fewer buyers in the
city than were expected. Notwithstanding the
report of an improved condition of the trade
in tho interior, country merchants are taking
goods very sparingly. They havo apparently
come to the conclusion that it is better policy
to replenish often, instead of carrying heavy
stocks. This condition of things is indicated
by the faet that buyers come to the city more
frequently than formerly, and they also send
orders by mail as the demands of their trade
require. By adopting this course, it does not
lessen the total amount of good3 sold daring
the year, and many think the sales will be
larger, as the frequent receipt of fresh supplies
must naturally stimulate trade to some extent
Those remarks will explain the frequent re
ceipt of orders, which are making np a large
part of the present trade. There has been no
marked feature the past week to note. Busi
ness has only been of a moderate character in
any department
For light Dress Goods, there has been a lit
tle better demand, notwithstanding the unfavor-
ble weather. With the opening of the year, trade
in imported White Goods was light with job
bers. The month of April brought a better trade
than was anticipated, and the improvement has
continued thus far in May, with a fair prospect
for June and July. There is not a large stock
of imported white cotton goods in the market.
The greater portion of the stock on hand was
bought, however, when gold was above 130, and
is now selling with gold on a basis of 112 to 115.
This reduction in prices make these goods ap
pear cheap, and hence the activity noticeable
in this department, The short supply of cot
ton will doubtless keep np prices of all mana-
tured cotton goods on the other side for some
time to oome.
Linen goods were in over production in Ea-
ropo last year, and large quantities were impor
ted to this country, and have been selliDgat
comparatively low prices in this market. It
has now been ascertained that the production
has been very greatly curtailed, many of the
looms having stopped work, owing to the high
prices of thread and labor, and the inadequate
returns that have been made for the manufac
tured artioles. If this report should prove to
be correct, we may expect an advance in price
on the next season's importations.
For all descriptions of heavy colored cotton
goods there is only a moderate demand. Bay
ers are taking barely sufficient to meet immedi
ate wants. Prices have been quite steady, but
not strong.
The doth trade has not been active, although
there has been an increased inquiry for fine
light weight goods. There is not mnch inquiry
from the clothing manufacturers for the fall
trade, and there is not, therefore, enough busi
ness doing to give tone to the market.
Prints do not form an exception to the gen
eral quietness of the dry goods trade. Tnere
has not been quito os much done daring the
week under review as there was the week pre*
vious. There was a large assortment and snp-
ply in the market. The new and best styles nre
readily taken, bnt only in small quantities.
The only new feature in the print market was
the opening this forenoon, by H. B. Claflin &

Co., of a tine of Merrimack Chintz at 12£o, and
light D’s at lOjo. All other prints have been
selling at regular prices. The great competi
tion in this tine is bringing out some very good
work. The agents have been holding their
prints at firm figures, and claim that at the
present price of cottoD, tho margin left to the
manufacturer is very small, and that prices will
be maintained on all new and good work. The
break mentioned above may weaken the price
on other light prints.
Brown shirtings and sheetings have been
fairly active, bnt the demand has been mainly
confined to small lots. The redaction of a half
cent on Atlantio A’s and H's, and Pacific Ex
tras and H’s, has given an increased, although
not large demand, for those brands. It has
been recently stated that somo of the old and
most familiar brands were in light stock, bnt
there appoars to be sufficient for the demand.
There are many new brahds on the market,
some of which are becoming quite popular;
and as buyers are now taking them quite
freely, it is lessoning the demand and weak
ening the prices of the other brands.
The market has been steady for the past week,
with bat few changes to note in narrow goods.
Utica wide sheetings have been reduced two
and a half cents. We now quote Utica 48 inch,

Chdreh Festival—Dedication of
Lodge of the I. O. B. B.—Two Fires
iit two Days.
- Albany, Ga., May 14, 1870.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Quite
a ludicrous as well as well as exciting incident
occurred in this city at the Barnes House on
last Tuesday evening. An individual, by name
Fool, engaged in the sale of a new and improv
ed Railway Indicator, has been circulating
around in these parts for some time, and dur
ing his perambulations, became acquainted
with some ladies here, representing himself as
a single man and by degrees growing quite con
stant in his attentions to one of them. By
some means or other, it leaked ont that this
g8y Lothario was a married man, whereupon
two male relatives of the ladies, providing them
selves with satiable instruments, repaired to the
Barnes Honse on the evening mentioned, and
ooming np with their man, at once proceeded to
administer such a severe castigation with a good
cowhide as he will remember all the days of his
life. He bore the chastisement as might have
been expeoted from a cowardly dog, only say
ing, se defendendo, that he was a single man
while Jure! In the morning he was politely in
formed that a longer sojourn in this vicinity
wonld resnlt in a repetition of his well merited
punishment, and thinking discretion the better
part of valor, he immediately left for a more
congenial clime, without the slightest attempt
at ostentation or display. “Served him right,”
is the verdict of the community.
On the same evening the ladies of the Metho
dist Church had quite a nice festival in the
Oonrt-honse. Ice cream, strawberries and snch
other delicacies, were in abundance, A novel
feature in the entertainment was what was called
a fish pond, which was a curtained box erected
in one corner of the room, in which was secret
ed two or three ladies, and near by stood a fish
ing rod, with a hook and line attached. The
fisherman baited bis hook with ft quarter and
letting it down into the imaginary pond drew
ont, as a quid pro quo, such an article as the
ladies thought suited his inclinations. A certain
person here, who sometimes gets on very inti
mate terms with John Barley-corn, wonld draw
ont a “bottle” every time he tried his luok. He
took the joke in good part, though, and laughed
as heartily as his friends. The proceeds of the
festival, I learn, amounted to abont $200, which
will be applied towards defraying the expenses
of a contemplated enlargement of the chnrch.
On Thursday evening, a large audience com
posed principally of Israelites, assembled in
one of Welch’d halls to listen to an address from
A. T. Jones, of Philadelphia, an officer of the
Grand Lodge of I. O. B. B. of the United
States, who had come here for the purpose of
establishing a lodge in this place. At a previ
ous meeting, several of the more prominent
Jews had succeeded in organizing a lodge, elect
ing officers, eto.,and this evening they appeared
in their regalia, and the Hall was solemnly
dedicated to the purposes of the Order with
appropriate ceremonies. After which, Mr.
Jones was introduced to the audience, and de
livered a touching address, setting forth in for
cible nnd eloquent language the objects, aims
and purposes of the Independent Order of
Benaiberith, which has inscribed upon its ban
ner Benevolenoe, Brotherly Love and Harmony,
all of which virtues the speaker set forth and
explained bystrong andaffectingremarks. This
society has been in existence for abont twenty-
seven years, and has for its principal objects
the moral and intellectual improvement of the
Jews and the dissemination of the trne doc
trines of Judaism in the community at large.
There is a very large proportion of Israelites
in this city, and the speaker urged upon them
the importance and necessity of, and the vast
benefits to result from, forming a good and
strong Lodge. In this district there are now
about 82 lodges, with a membership of 1,900,
and a fund of $60,000. The audience were
very favorably impressed with the address, and
gave the speaker their undivided attention to
the close. The principal Jews here have^rented
and fitted np a very nioe and convenient hall in
Welch’s bnUdiDg, and seem to be in earnest in
their efforts to organize and snstain a branch
of the Order in this oity. May snccess attend
them.
On Thursday afternoon, tho qniet of the
town was disturbed by the alarm of fire, whioh
on repairing to the scene, I found to proceed
from a small tenement house in the rear of
Mercer & Smith’s grocery store. Tho fire was
caused by carelessness, and bnt for the prompt
action of a number of citizens, might have re
sulted in the destruction of a large amonnt of
property. The flames were extinguished with
few backets of water, and only a trifling
damage done.
The alarm of fire was again sonnded on yes
terday abont noon, and proved to be the steam
mill of Nelson Tift Both the engines were
iromptly on the spot, and being liberally aided
jy the citizens, both white and blaok, the com
panies after some little exertion, succeeded in
patting oat the fire. The roof of the building
was somewhat damaged, and a lot of meal in
jured by water, but beyond this I suppose the
l oss will be insignificant. The oanse of the
fire was acoidental. After the excitement was
over, Gok Tift’s brother treated the crowd to
champagne, which was mnch relished and high
ly appreciated. The necessity for a good hook
and ladder company was folly demonstrated
on this ocoasion, and property-holders owe it to
themselves and the city, to reorganize the old
company. The city owns a fine set of imple
ments, but there is no organization to take
charge of them. .
A discovery was made here a day or two ago,
whioh caused much shuddering among mer
chants doing bnsiness in the vioinity. A firm
having recently gone into bankruptcy, an in
ventory of stock was being taken by appointed
agents; and-they found stored in the building
about 183 pounds of powder. Tho city ordi
nance on tho subject prohibits a larger quanti
ty than 25 pounds from being kept in one store
at a time, and here was a violation of the law,
which in case of an accident, might have oaused
a terrible destruction of life and property.
I was pleased to meet, on yesterday, Coi. O.

the Brunswick & Albany Railroad. The Col.
A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.
Mobbing' or A Christian Minister, by Radi
cal Fanatics, la Bionut Connty.
From the Knoxville (Tenn.) Press A Herald.
Blount county has once more been dis-
graced by an act which the Christian world,
outside of a few fanatical Radicals, will learn
wifh indignation, and will regard the Radical
ruffians engaged in the affair with contempt
and abhorrence.
It will be remembered that, abont one year
ago. Rev. Jacob Smith, an inoffensive preach
er of the Methodist Episcopal Church South,
while on his way to fulfil a regular appoint
ment to preach in Logan’s Chapel, six miles
east of Maryville, in Blount county, was
set upon by a band of Radicals, pulled from
his horse, stripped, tied to a. tree, and brutal
ly beaten with hickory switches, until the
flesh was all bloody ana lacerated. .
The brutal affair created an intense indig
nation throughout the country. By the adj
vice of friends, Rev. Mr. Smith instituted a
suit lor damages against the parties, who are
well known.
By the law’s delay, the guilty parties have
hitherto escaped punishment. Emboldened
by this delay, they have once more resorted
to the mob spirit to prevent another inoffen
sive minister, of the same church, from preach
ing tho word of God in Logan’s Chapel, the
church in which Rev. Mr. Smith was to have
preached “Christ and Him crucified,” to the
people of his charge.
Rev. H. W. Bays is a preacher of the M.
E. Church South, a member of tho Holston
Conference, and is stationed in charge of the
Sevierville and Little River Circuits, within
the bounds of the Conference. Ho is a mild
and peculiarly inoffensive man of God. To
those who are acquainted with him, he
known as a quiet and meek follower of the
Saviour, whose words of peace and good will
to men he lives to deliver to all who will hear
him, and is never known to talk on politics.
Oa Sunday morning, the 8th of May, Mr.
Bays had an appointment to preach in Lo
gan's Chapel. Thb becoming known to the
radicals in the vicinity, they determined that
no Minister of the God of Heaven, who be
longed to the Southern Methodbts, should
preach in Logan’s Chapel, although that place
of worship belonged to the M. E. Church,
Sonth. Accordingly, preparations were made
to prevent Mr. Bays from preaching. Early
Sunday morning, a large crowd of whites and
blacks collected before the church; havin,
got possession of the keys, they entered, am
taking ont benches, piled them against the
doors and the windows of the church, thus ef
fectually barricading ■every way of ingress.
The crowd was armed with bludgeons, pistols
and knives, the latter weapons being carried
opened in their hands. Threats and cu ses
were loudly uttered, to the effect that they
would not allow “any damned rebel preacher
to speak in that church, or anywhere else that
they could prevent.”
Meanwhile, Rev. Mr. Bays, with hb wife,
was at the house of Alexander Kennedy, Sr.,
a prominent and good citizen, and a member
of the Christian body against whom the intol
erant fanatics and bloody-minded Radicab
were barring the door of their own church,
As the hour for the opening of the service ap
proached, Mr. Kennedy and his daughter,
together with the minbter and hb wife, left
the hospitable mansion and entering a buggy,
drove to the church, several miles dbtant.
As they approached Logan’s Chapel, they
observed the crowd of armed men, who were
boisterously shouting, and making the Sab
bath morning hideous with their yelb. As
the buggy neared the church door, the crowd
advanced towards it, and our informants say,
that Mr. Goddard, who is known as the prin
cipal in the whipping of Rev. Mr. Smith, and
Spencer Donaldson, who is represented to us
as a man of very immoral character, flourished
their bludgeons around the head or Mr. Bays,
and swore that if ho attempted to alight from
the buggy it would be at the risk of his life,
no damned rebel preacher” should speak
there that morning The crowd flourished
their knives, and with many an oath and yell,
endorsed their leader’s threats.
The presence of Mrs. Bays and the young
lady alone osved Mr. Bays from the fate
of Jacob Smith.
Mr. Bays spoke kindly to the crowd, and
Mr. Kennedy endeavored to reason with them,
but the infuriated men clamored only the
louder, and Mr. Kennedy,'fearing that if they
delayed the preacher would be assaulted and
perhaps murdered, was compelled to .drive

Atlanta, Ga., May 13.
I see that the Griffin papers are advocating
with considerable enthusiasm, the claims of
Mr. S. W. Bloodwortb, of Griffin, to the of
fice of Secretary of the State Agricultural So
ciety, an election for which is to take place on
the 23d of June next Mr. Bloodwortb is
well known in Spalding county as the “model
farmer,” and Weil does he deserve tho title.
He it was who received the premium at the
fair last fall, for the largest yield of corn to
the acre in the State, and he has more re
cently received the premium awarded at tho
samo fair, for the best essay founded on ex
perience, on “Economy in Resuscitating Worn
ont Lands.” This makes thirty-four premi
ums recieved by him at different fairs in the
State, for agricultural essays, products and
implements. Mr. B. is a man of great energy,
and has given the subject of fairs a thorough
investigation, and from his long connection
and experience with them, I suspect he is as
well posted in matters connected therewith at)
any man in the State. He is not only a thor
ough business man, but he is a successful-
practical farmer, and that is just tho kind or
man we need for the place. It is with plea
sure I notice the enthusiasm of the Griffin
for their “model farmer,” and I
endorse their commendations.

A New Railway Lino Proposed Di
rectly Connecting Knoxville, and
East Tennessee, with JUacon, Ga.
—Facts for onr People.
(Correspondence of the Knoxville Whig.
Clinton, Tenn., May 12.
A sqjourn of a day at this point, gives me
time to pen a few suggestions on a subject in
timately connected with the railway interests
of Knoxville, and, indeed, the whole of East
Tennessee. •:
I allude to a project already exciting the
most lively interest in the minds of the citi
zens of -MiddleLGeorgia, viz: The construc
tion of a direct line of railway from Macon,
Ga., to Knoxville, Tenn., with the view of
the speedy connection between Macon and
Cincinnati—the Kentucky road being put
through to Cincinnati, as it ought to bo, and
surely will be ere long.
The indefatigable Mr. Cowles, of Georgia,
tho “father” of the Macon and Western rail
way in that State, has taken hold of this sub
ject, and will “put it through.” The leading
business men of Macon are eagerly seizing
upon the project It is proper that Knoxville
should show becoming sympathy, and extend
all the aid possible to the enterprise.' ^
The contemplated road will extend almost
due North from Macon, via the copper mines
in Polk county to Knoxville, penetrating a
fertile and vastly productive region, at pres
ent wholly destitute of railway facilities. It
will offdr to the citizens of this region the
shortest and cheapest route for travel and
merchandize to the Southern Atlantio sea
board. To reach Charleston, S. C. or Savan-
nan, or the young commercial giant of the
Georgia seaboard, Brunswick, with its unri
valed harbor, almost one hundred miles will
be saved, which are now traversed over the
tedious and expensive route via Dalton and
Atlanta.
The city of Macon is just entering upon a new
and important career as one of the leading
cities of the South. Already Macon is the
centre of a rail way system unsurpassed by that
of any other city of Georgia. It is no mush
room place, hut has grown up to its present
importance in wealth and population upon the
sore basis of solid capital. It is already con
nected by direct railways with Atlanta, with
Columbus, with Albany, with Brunswick,
with Savannah, and with Augu?ta—six im
portant cities, each the terminus of a railway,
and all centering in Macon. The city is healthy,
wealthy, beautiful and in the centre of a most
fertile and productive cotton planting region.
We advise Knoxville to link herself to Maoon
with bands ef iron.
We shall go further along the lino of the
Kentucky road, and may be led to offer sug
gestions hereafter to th) readers of your ex
cellent journal. Ocmulgee.
Texas Cotton ana Crop Prospects.
Upon this subject the Galveston News says:
“The reoeiptsare more liberal, footing np
1,3000 bales, and to date are 203,389 against
125,169 in the Same time last year, showing an
excess 04*78,220 bales.
“The reoeipts of cotton at the Bed Biver
cities and towns from Texas foot np some 118,-
800 bales, and at the Texas Gulf ports and Eagle
Pass 217,229 bales, making the total of this
year’s crop already marketed 286,029 bales,
valued at near $30,000,000 in gold, a very fair
showing for our State. In five yean more than
half a million bales may be ooanted upon, and
with proper energy Galveston may control it
all.”
The News thinks from every indication, with
an average yield, the present planting will pro
duce the largest crop that has ever been made
in U»t State.
Allen gave Mace a body blow; then;
feigning some time, both rested seven!
onds; then coming up, Allen hit Maoe,
latter returning with two -heavy cuts
Allen’s left eye, the flowing freely. Thi
again retired against the stakes, cuing to t
corners, and were sponged off. They advii
again, and hard fighting ensued in Mi
favor, when the men clinched and fell lies'
Mace’s arm around Allen’s neck. Allen
carried to his corner. Time was called, !
Coburn threw, up the sponge, saying i
ami was dislocated.
Mace was then declared the winner, ii
ty-four minutes. Allen was badly jvu
about tho face, while Mace was wit!
