MACON JUNE U, 1870.
Death of Charles Dickens.
The announcement of the sadden death of
Cimbles Dickers will carry unfeigned sorrow
and regret wherever the English language is
spoken. For a generation he has stood unri
valled as the great story-teller—the most gonial
humorist—the most accomplished writer—the
most perfect word-painter and delineator of hu
man character in the Anglo-Saxon world. His
productions have been an inexhaustible foun
tain of amusement, instruction and delight to
the people; and the characters conjured into
existence by his magic pen have pointed the
satire, humor and invective of nearly all the
popular literature and oratory of the time. All
types of bypperisy, craft, avarice, hard and
griping worldliness, sensuality, cruelty, revenge,
selfishness, frivolity, as well as every godlike
and angelic attribute of childhood, womanhood
and man, have, in the writings of Dickens, been
so clearly and boldly pictured, that a purpose
of writer or speaker to ridicule, condemn or ap
prove, is accomplished in the utterance of a
single name.
Bnt wo can bestow no higher praise on Dick
ens, now that ho is dead and gone, than to de
clare that, from the first to the last stroke of bis
pen, it has ever been steadily wielded in behalf
of virtue and the best interests of the human
race. His stories are foil of a genuine and
heartfelt sympathy with all that is good, gener
ous, knightly and noblo in the human charac
ter.
"With a true Democratic and popular instinct
and taste, his tales are all of hnmble life and
illnstrate manly struggles with poverty and mis
fortune. They are chronicles of the poor and
and-the middle classes, and hence are distaste
ful to some whose sympathies are more readily
evoked by heroes and heroines in lemon-color
ed kids and diamond necklaoes; bat whether as
a true artist, a true lover of his species, or a
wise author and teacher, he teas right in found
ing his stories on tho great stratum of common,
lowly life; and appealing in them directly to
the hearts, interests, sentiments and opinions
of the people. We chronicle his departure to
the world of spirits with sadness, and under a
sense of obligation to him for many an agree
able and profitable hour of relaxtion from care
and study.
The Conflagration in Constantinople
One of the most horrid catastrophes of the
ago is the great fire in Constantinople, which
occurred last Monday, about one o’clock in the
morning and continued all day and night, al
though brought to a check in the early afternoon
by isolating the burning district by mining and
explosions of gunpowder. The telegrams of
yesterday stated that seven thousand buildings
had been burned, and estimated the property
loss twenty-five millions. The loss of life, by
a natural mistake of the printer and proof-read
er, we are glad to say, was grossly exaggerated.
Upon an examination of the original dispatch,
wo find they had misconceived a mark in the
way of rider over the figures 300 for the figure
4, and so printed the loss of life 4,300 instead
300, as really written in the dispatch.
But shorn of this undesigned exaggeration,
it is an awful calamity, and it has befallen
the best-built quarter of the city—one con
taining the residences of the English, Amer
ican and Portuguese Ambassadors and all the
foreign consulates, as well as the leading
theatre and many of the most costly churches,
mosques and public buildings. The rapid spread
and uncontrollable fury of the fire was due to tho
prevalence of a high wind at the time—to the
exceedingly narrow streets, which are seldom
more than ten or twelve feet wide, and to the
entire absence of any efficient apparatus for the
extinguishment of fire. The fire engines of
Constantinople are little better than a garden
syringe, and perfectly worthless’ in combatting
any extensive conflagration. The city, owing to
these causes, has ever been subject to such dis
asters. In 18G2, 3500 houses were destroyed in
ji single night, and there have been other large
fires since that time; bnt nothing comparable to
the terrible holocaust of last Monday. Nor is
there anythinginhistory, in the wayof accidental
fires, to compare with it, unless it be tho great
fire of Bondon. Seven thousand houses would
make a large town.
Important Announcement.
The Georgia Mutual Fire and Life Insurance
Company, of Mbood, Georgia, has sold to the
Cotton States Life Insurance Company their en
tire Life Department. By this arrangement all
policy-holders in the Georgia Mutnal have not
only the policies of that company, bnt have the
guaranty of the Cotton States, one of the most
successful companies ever worked in this State.
The Cotton States assumes the payment of all
losses on policies issued by the Georgia Mutual.
The standing of the latter company is not in
the least affected by this sale. They will con
tinue to do a general banking business, which
they can now do with greater vigor.
The Cotton States has had eminent success—
having jast closed its first year with nearly !,■
800 policies running.
"We find the above in the Atlanta Constitution,
of yesterday. We were aware several days ago
that negotiations to this end were in progress,
but at the request of the parties interested,
made no public announcement of the fact. In
deed we have no official authority for making
the statement, even now. This will explain
however, why no mention of tho transfer has
been made in this paper.
Crops in Macon County.
Messrs. Editors ; Since the 29th of May we
have had showers occasionally, and in some
localities, an abundance of rain has fallen.—
Corn, though small, has'greatly improved in
size and color. I do not think it has been much
injured by tho late dronth. Cotton, where
stands bad been secured before the dry spell,
never, in my judgment, looked better. Where
the cotton did not get up it is small, bat a uni.
versal good stand has, by tbe late rains, been
seonred. Many think it too late to mature, bnt
this I am satisfied is a mistake. The nse of
guano (which has been almost universal) will
cause it to matnre in time. Tho oat crop is
much bettor than anyone supposed it wonid be
atone time. An excess of this crop has been
planted this, and more, I think, will he
planted another year. I am pleased to state
that the corn crop is sufficient, with good
seasons, for the coming year.
Very Respectfully,
W. H. Reese.
Macon Boys at tbe University.
We see from the catalogue of the University
of Georgia, that the number of students in all the
classes is 292, of whom there are 48 in the Sen
ior, 4G in the Junior, 52 in the Sophomore, and
24 in the Freshman class. Of the remainder
there are 10 in the School of Civil Engineers,
17 in tho Law School, and 95 in the University
High School. '*
Macon is pretty well represented in the va
rious classes * In the Senior class there are W.
Dessau, W. B. Hill and N. M. Solomon; in the
Junior, J. A. Barclay, J. D. Hardeman, and E.
G. Simmons; in the Sophomore, W. A. Car
michael, E. A. Cochran. II. F. Stroliecker, H.
P. Whittle, A. M. Williams, and J. T Wills, and
in. the School of Engineers, W. B. Bonnell.

It is reported that an alliance has been formed
between Itursia and Egypt; arms and war ma
terial have been ordered by the latter and it is
nearly certain that a war with Ttnkey Is immi
nent. Tbe Paris Bourse has been excited, in
consequence.
University or Georgia.
We see by the catalogue, a copy of which we
hgio lately received, that the Trustees have
made a most important, and, in our judgment,
wise change in tho internal working of this in
stitution. Students who are prepared by pre
vious preparation—that is, who have completed
the studies usually embraced in the Freshman
and Sophomore years—are permitted to elect
their own subjects of study, provided they at
tend a sufficient number of lectures.
] {This privilege of election extends, we see,
to the Junior and Senior classes. A change
somewhat similar to this, we are aware, has
been made within the last two years at Prince
ton and Harvard. We remember, also, the con
troversies in the English periodicals in regard
to the demand made by our advancing civiliza
tion for a change in tho systems of education
pursued at Oxford and Cambridge. The advo
cates of progress insisted that a scheme of ed
ucation formed two centuries ago, when undue
prominence was given to the ancient languages,
was not adapted to our age of steam and elec
tricity, in which such marvelous advances had
been made, and that the present generation de
manded an education that .equally developed
tho powers of the mind and fitted for tho busi
ness of life by familiarity with tho great agents
of modem progress.
The system now inaugurated at the University
of Georgia completely solves this difficulty, and
leaves to parents, and students of mature years,
the privilege of electing those departments of
study they may prefer.
Tho new life and vigor that this change must
infuko into tho University will no donbt in a
few years, render the contrast with the old curri-
cnlnm as great as that between traveling in a
stage coach and in a railway car.
Tho effect, too, npon the schools of our State
in elevating their scholarship, must be very bo-
nificent, inasmuch as time does not enter as an
element of graduation under the new system;
and a student, by being well prepared on en
trance, can seenro his degree in a shorter time
than otherwise, and thus reflect credit upon his
teacher. There would then be here an incen
tive to teachers to advance the scholarship of
those entrusted to their care.
We presume the object of the Trustees in
making this change was to advance the Univer
sity to its proper position of eminence, and thus
to remove all possible grounds of antagonism
of interests between it and the other colleges of
the State.
By the professional degrees and the degree
of Master of Arts a course of education is of
fered supplementary to that usually given at
colleges. And the young men who graduate at
any of the colleges of our State may now re
pair to the University to prosecute their studies
further, in any special • department for which
they may have a natural aptitude or preference.
And besides we conceive this “ open course
will allow young men of limited means to sup
port themselves while acquiring their education.
For instance, a young man while acting as
clerk to an apothecary, might qualify himself
for that profession, by attending the lectures of
the Professor of chemistry. Or one engaged in
a printing office, who could spare an hour or so,
might, while supporting himself by his labor,
still take a limited course at the University, and
thus, in time, obtain a thorough education.
This privilege is as it should be in a University;
for thereby it adapts itself to the wants of all
the people and not to a limited class.
By the independence of the department,—for
wo see that certificates of proficiency are given
by each professor when his course is completed
—the Trustees have adapted the University to
continued growth. The addition of any other
department in no manner we conceive could
conflict with those already established, but at
once could become a co-ordinate part of the
University. •
Th03, tho agricultural department could, were
the means at the disposal of the Trustee, ex
pand into an agricultural college as a part of
the system; and by its co-ordinate relation
would confer mutual benefits both on the aca
demic and professional students.
We rejoice at the prosperity of the Universi
ty ; bnt, as an alnmnns shall not be satisfied
until it is recognized as the leading institution
of learning in tho Southern S#.les. This is
what it should be. And to secure the means
for this expansion every alnmnns should earn
estly work.
Slavery vs. Freedom.
In the Tribune, of a recent date, Mr. Greeley,
who has jost returned from a visit to Nassau,
bears emphatic testimony to the rninous effects
of emancipation npon the Bahama Islands.—
Coming from a man who has done so much to
destroy slavery in his own country, we can con
ceive of nothing more conclnsive. Ho says:
Plantations that were productive and flourish
ing under slavery are wholly deserted and use
less under freedom, and have not been suc
ceeded by tbe modest holdings of small farmers.
I do not moan that there are none sneb, for
there are somo. I do mean that agriculture on
this island, and I think on mo3t of the others
of the group, has shrunk within narrower limits,
and is content with smaller resnlts, than in the
days of African bondage. On somo of the sis
ter isles an improvement has lately been effect
ed; bnt, on the whole, the agricultural product
of the Bahamas is smaller and their cultivated
area les3 extensive than they were forty years
ago. -
The “stimulating effect of freedom” seems
to have stimulated the wrong way ont there.—
If the fools, fanatics and knaves who talk snch
bosh, and who broke np slavery in the Sontfa,
live long enough to come to their senses,,
they'll find that it has worked ont even worse
in this country.
A Railroad to the Top ol a Mountain.
A Whito Mountains correspondent of the
Herald, in a recent letter gives tho following
account of how Yankee engineering skill has
overcome the difficulties that have heretofore
made the asoqpt of Monnt Washington, one of
the famous peaks of that locality, a formidable
affair. He says:
From tho foot a railroad, fitted with a centre
rail in which are cogs two inches apart, lies up
the side, coiled over tho uneven surface like a
hugo serpent. It is a marvel of engineering
and construction. The grade is thirteen inches
in three feet, and in some places the angle of
inclination exceeds forty-five degrees. Oars
fitted with swinging seats; engines of reduced
size, but with no cowcatcher and mnch deeper
in the rear than at the front, complete the roll
ing stock. There are three engines in the de
pot at the base and four largo cars, accommoda
ting fifty each. Over 8,000 people went to the
summit last season. The ascent is made in one
hour and a half, and the fare for going and
coming is three dollars. The distance to the
apex is three miles.
A Tebbible E abthquake. —The Herald’s Ha
vana special of Jane Gtb, says a violent earth
quake has recently visited the State of Oaxaca,
Mexico. Its effects were especially disastrous
in Oaxaca, the cpaital of the State. ' One hun
dred and three persons were killed * and fifty-
three wounded.. .A third of the city was render
ed uninhabitable. The earthquake extended to
the mines, where eleven men were killed and
many wounded. Buildings it all parts of the
State were destroyed, and reports of additional
deaths are coming in.
Fishy.—The New York Son has the. follow
ing :
We learn from Washington that arrangements
are making to take Presdient Grant salmon
fishing as soon ns he returns from his trouting
«««ion among the hills of Pennsylvania. It
is thought that by this means an appointment
to the English mission in place of Mr. Motley
may be obtained.
The Georgia Press.
The “Second Adventists” have broken loose
in Valdosta. Elder F. A. nith || preach
there on the 15 th inst.
The Valdosta Times says “the oat crop now
being harvested is one of the best that has been
made in this county. Large quantities of it
was planted, which was fortunate, since corn
bears such a high price.”
Of crops in Thomas county, the Enterprise
says:
Since onr last issue parties from almost every
section of the county have reported sufficient
rains, and the general prosperity of the crops.
One gentleman tells ns that his cotton suffered
greatly from the depredation of culicorms, com
pletely destroying five acres, and compelling
him to plow it up and plant corn, while another
represents tho grass-hopper as doing consider
able damage to cotton in his neighborbood.
Neither of these evils, however, are very ex
tensive, and we may consider the crops gener
ally fair.

On the subject of negroes ns Jurors, tho Sav
annah Republican remarks ns folows:
The only condition prescribed by law for tho
government of the commissioners is that the
parties selected shall bo “upright and intelligent
persons,” the meaning of the law dearly being,
persons who are competent to comprehend the
legal rights of parties in court, and with integ
rity of character to insure a righteous verdict.
It 13 also dear that under the stntuto, which we
copy below in fall, negroes are liable to servo as
Jnrors, whero thoy possess theso qualifications;
but it is equally clear that uo man is to be se
lected as n Juror ju&t because he is a negro.
Wo fear there has been somo truckling to power
on this question, and that from a timid aprohon-
aion of evil from somo quarter, very good oiti-
zens may have been seduood into tho inaugura
tion of a now system in Georgia, tho natural
tendeney of which is corruption of the judiciary
and eventual overthow of justice. We cannot
be too cautious how we make innovations npon
the established order of society. We advocate
adherence to the law, and do not contest tho
equal rights of nil citizens before the law ; bat
we have yet to discover wherein any man has a
right to servo on juries, or a reason for doing
anything in the premises that tho law does not
clearly require. Jury service is a public duty,
and the public have a right to an intelligent and
upright performance of „that duty. The com
missioners to revise the jury box, therefore,
both violate the law and commit a wrong against
the public when they allow themselves to be in
fiuenced by any other considerations in the dis
charge of that pnblio trust.
Mr. Merry, of Wilkes county, aged 70, dis
appeared from Augusta, Tuesday morning, while
laboring under temporary aberration of mind,
and on Wednesday morning Ms coat was fonnd
on the banks of a creek near the city.
There are three hundred and twenty-seven
cases on the civil docket of the Richmond Su
perior Court, wMch come up for trial at the next
session.
The Savannah News says:
Fine Oats.—Mr. S. Alex. Smith, of Thomas-
ville, Ga., has sent us a sheaf of Norway Oats
grown on his plantation near that city. It is
said by judges to be the tallest oats ever grown
in Georgia, being five and a half feet Mgh.
The field is seventy-five bushels to the acre.
Stock op Cotton.—By actual count, made on
yesterday, we find the stock of cotton on hand
and on sMpboard to be 21,308 bales of upland,
and 700 bales of sea islands.
In the case of John H. Bas3, vs. Gray, Be
dell & Hughes, warehousemen of Columbus, for
recovery of losses on a lot of 107 bales of cot
ton sMpped to Liverpool in 18G7, and sold be
fore arrival, contrary to ordeis of the owners,
at tho time when Uplands were worth but 7jd,
tried in Muscogee Superior Court, Wednesday,
tho jnry fonnd for plaintiff in the sum of $3,
80G 76, with interest from April 1st, 18G8, to
date.
- Tho Grand Jnry of Muscogee county failed
to find a true bill against the amalgamationists
who were released from jail and went back to
Alabama. Jf the Columbus boys had found a
tar jacket with feather trimmings for them, it
would have been pronounced a true bill by
every decent man in Georgia.
The Columbus Sun says:
Refuses to Order the Election.—We are
informed by Aldermen and citizens that Mayor
Mcllhenny positively refuses to issus a procla
mation, in accordance with the instructions of
the City Council, for an election by the voters
of Columbus to ascertain whether or not the
city of Columbus shall subscribe $400,000 to
the Columbus and North Georgia Air Line Rail
road. The ordinances require the election to
be ordered thirty days before the vote is taken;
so it is now too late to hold the election on the
day named, July 9. Thus we have the Mayor
arrayed against seven Counoilmen, a majority
of the whole board, and one of the most influ
ential petitions ever offered to a council. The
Mayor was waited on last night by a leading
citizen, when he again refused.
How the Two abe Yalued.—It is quoted as
a good thing of the colored pastor, E. B. Ruck
er* who, in the Justice’s Court, Tuesday, on be
ing informed that one-eighth negro blood con
stituted whites, negroes, said: “That’s toler
ably heavy on white blood, if one eighth negro
outweighs seven-eighths white.” Reese Craw
ford, Esq., who happened to be present, re
plied: “Yes, that’s true, negro blood is so
heavy that the least particle contaminates the
whole. It shows the preciousness of white
blood, and the care with wMch a mixture is
guarded against.” The reverend colored man
had now light thrown on the subject and had
not a word to say.
The Americas Republican says Bill Gnilford,
colored, who represents the negroes of Upsou
county in the Atlanta Agency, and who broke
jail at Americas some time since, where he was
confined on various charges of theft and house
breaking, is about to be returned to bis old
quarters, in charge of the Sheriff of Samter
county.
Alex. Boatright, 15th A., shot and killed Joe

We see no mention of the following from the
Rome Conner, in the Atlanta papers of yester
day:
We are informed that by some means—we
know not how—Bullock has got possession of
tbe State Treasnrer, and has appointed Geo. P.
Barnet, formerly of this city, to discharge the
dnties of that office. This may be a mere tem
porary arrangement.
Mrs. John L. Alexander, of Cobb county, was

The Covington-Examiner says:
Our farmers have commenced harvesting the
wheat crop in this section. The crop was never
better.
A Mr. Jones, of Stone Mountain, with his
wife and threo children, all deaf and dumb,

The Greensboro Herald sajs the wheat crop
of that connty is being harvested, and promises
a heavy yield. Com and cotton are growing
finely.
An attempt to poison Mr. Thomas W. Robin
son, of Greensboro, was made by'a negro girl

The Covington Enterprise says :
Judge D. W. Spence showed us a sample of

corporate limits of Covington, wMch yielded
ninety large shocks from one acre. The stalks
exMbited were all over six feet Mgh, and the
whole field averaged over five feet six inches.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
We are informed that Rev. Joshua Lewis, Jr.,
the accomplished professor of Greek at Emory
College, has been appointed by Bishop Pierce,
Presiding Elder upon the Atlanta District, for
the balance of this year, in place of Rev. A. G.
Haygood, who goes to Nashville, the seat of tho
Southern Methodist Publishing House, to dis
charge the duties of Sunday School Secretary,
including the editorial supervision of the Smi-
1 day school literature of the Church, to which
position he was elected by the late General
Conference.
There was a fine rain at Albany, Wednesday

The B. & A. R. R.—Tne ime is located to tho
Flint, and tho estimates aro made np, though
the crossing has not boon determined on. The
location westward will bo commenced in a day
or two, A company of contractors, with Cot
B. G. Lockott at its head, is ready to contract
for tho line from the Alapnha to Eufanla, and
we doubt not tho papers will be signed this week
or early next woek. OoL Halbert was expeoted
here somo days ago to complete tho negotiations,
but wo understand that he cannot loave Bruns
wick, and that Colonel Lockett will meet him
in that city. Col. Sohlater loaves this morning
with his profllos, maps and estimates on the
same errand, and wo hope to greet Ms return
in a few days with the announcement that all’s
right. Tho grading from Waresboro to the
Alapaba is progressing vigorously.
Wo regret to learn from tho Cuthbort Appeal
that its editor, Col. H. H. Jones, is sick.
The Appeal announces the formation in that

The News says:
Ah Affray ax Thunderbolt.—Two gentle^
men, well known in Savannah, and who had
gone to Thunderbolt for recreation and plea
sure, got into a serious difficulty with a man
living there, the affray terminating in the se
vere cutting of tho two by tho latter.
The origin of the diffionlfy is shrouded in
mystery, and as there will probably be a legal
investigation of tho facts, we withhold names
concerning the same.
Of crop matters in Brooks county the Quit-
man Banner says:
Crops.—In some portions of this county fine
rains have fallen during the past week; but in
other portions the soil is parched and thirsty,
and unless the planters receive refreshing show-
ers.at an early day, com will suffer materially.
Cotton, generally, is looking well and the pres
ent prospect is, that an unprecedented good crop
will reward the toiling planter. Much anxiety,
however, is felt in reference to the crop; the
area of land planted is quite limited, and if the
yield expected from tMs meagre source is cur
tailed, planters may look out for squalls during
the next year.
The police killed 45 collarless canines in Au
gusta, Thursday.
Mr. Memy, whose mysterious disappearance
from Augusta, Thursday, we noted yesterday,
was found Thursday about six miles from that
city. He had been wandering in the woods since
Ms disappearance with no other food than that
of blackberries, and had of wearing apparel only
Ms hat, shirt and drawers.
The Chronicle hud Sentinel say3 that about
one o’clock, Thursday morning last,
“Some one called at the gate of A. J. Hall,
who lives about three miles from Louisville. He

his appearance twenty-five buckshot were fired
at him. Only three of the missiles took effect,
however, and they did not inflict much damage.
As soon as the shots were fired the parties fled,
bnt an examination of their footprints demon
strated that they were made by Bollock’s colored

Of the progress of work on the Augusta and
Port Royal Railroad, the Chronicle and Sentinel
says:
We learn from a gentleman who arrived from
the line of the road yesterday, that tho working
force has greatly increased, thero now being
from twelve to fourteen hundred hands em
ployed at each end, and that fully a half mile
of track is laid each day, in addition to tho other
necessary work of grading, eto., performed by
the force. There is also a large corps of me
chanics engaged in constructing about a mile
of trestle work on the road, about forty miles
from Augusta.
Twenty nautically inclined young gentlemen

sident, F. M. Ganby, Secretary and Purser, G.
B. Young, Coxswain, and H. D. Greene and L.
E. O'Keefe, 1st and 2nd mates.
We get the following items from tho Sun:
One op the Earliest Settlers op Colum
bus.—A gentleman tells ns there is now farming
near Silver Ran, Alabama, Mr. Wm. Holland.
He came to Colambas in 1827. He was sheriff
of the connty for several years—in 1835-6-7-8,
and 1839 he represented the county in the Leg
islature. Ho left there in 1839 to reside in
Chambers county, Ala. He is now sixty-seven
years of age, and is os halo and hearty as one
iu the prime of life.
An Ebboneocs Impbession—There appears
to be somehow an impression that the S. W. R.
R. will terminate at Opelika, and tho Georgia
R. R. at tho same point This is a mistake.
Both roads have their termini as heretofore at
Colnmbus and West Point Thence to Selma,
is now known as the Western R. R. Both com
panies will rnn through trains to Montgomery,
only stopping at Opelika as they occasionally
h&vo done.
Resigned Positively.—Dr. J. H. DeVotie
has declined positively the invitation of the
Baptist church to again become its pastor.
Though his hundreds of friends in tho city may
warmly regret Ms decision, it is none the less
final.and irrevocable.
The Talbotton Standard says:
Cbop Prospects.—Since the rain a wonderful
improvement has taken place in tho crops gen
erally. Corn, though small, is doing finely,
and much of it is being plowed the second
time. A large number of the planters of tins
county have planted good crops of com.
Harvesting wheat has commenced in good
earnest. The crop is unusually good, though

The Herald has these items.
Bio "Wheat.—We were shown some large
wheat by O. R. Garsido and Mr. Henry Free
man, of The Rock. Mr. Gareide’s wheat heads
were six inches in length, and contained eighty-
one grains to the head. Mr. Freeman’s meas
ured six and a half inches, and contained eigty-
five grains to the head.
Laboxst Cotton.—Daniel R. Beall, of this
oounty has cotton which measured last week,
16 inohes in height, (above tho dirt) and had
seven “squares.” * - ijT
The first lot of new wheat was sold in Rome,

The Athens Banner gives the following ac
count of a remarkable hail storm in that sec
tion :
A very severs hail storm passed over ft por
tion of Jackson county on Thursday of last week,
severe, almost completely destroying his crop.
The cotton and wheat on a number of planta
tions was ornshed into the earth, and the fanners
are re-planting with com. la some places the
hail was larger than goose eggs, and destroyed
the glass in honses. After the storm, masses
of hail were found washed into the fence cor
ners, two feet in depth, and in shady places it
did not melt for several days. Mr. Niohols, the
mail carrier to Jefferson, informs us that on
Tuesday, four days after the storm, a wagon
load of the hail was carried to Jefferson, and
the whole place laxuriated in punch and ice
cream, from “native” ice. It is reported that
the hail remained nnmelted on yesterday—eight
days after it fell. It was a most remarkable
storm, and we hope some observing resident,
who is familiar with its track, will give us further
particulars. t ..

TnsBcgoe Disturbances — All Quiet
Along tlie Line — The Town not
Burned and no Blood.
Oar special messengerhaving returned from
the front, brings us the gratifying intelligence
that no one has been severely hurt, and no dam
ages, in fact, of any sort done at Tuskegee.
The place is entirely quiet, and was, when Jhe
got there, in the hands and control of its citi
zens, and all tendency to riot at an end.
It appears that after Alston was shot, four
negroes were arrested for the attempted murder,
and put in jail. It farther appears that some
evil disposed persons of Radical politicians,
among others, the postmaster, as it is alleged,
informed the negroes in the town and surround
ing country that the shooting of Alston had been
instigated by the whites and the Democratic
party. Upon this some bands of negroes assem
bled, and demanded that the prisoners should
be delivered to them, with a view of hanging
them, and they threatened if they were not de
livered to take revenge by bnrning the town.
On Monday night affairs looked threatening,
for the negroes went so far as to appear in
armed squads, and to halt citizens. Bnt the
next day they disappeared from the streets and
the citizens took complete possession of the
place and retained it uninterruptedly until this
morning, when some bodies of mounted men
scoured the country and could find no armed ne
groes at all.
Yesterday morning the Governor went np to
the scene of disturbance, and about an hundred
soldiers of the garrison here accompanied him.
The soldiers remained at Chehaw, five miles
distant from Tuskegee, on the M. & W. P. Rail
road, until yesterday afternoon, when they were
inarched over to Tuskegee. The Governor went
directly over to Tuskegee, and arrived there,
with our reporter and a number of the citizens
of Montgomery, among others Gen. Clanton,
about 10 o’clock a. m. The Governor called a
meeting, which was largely attended by both
wMtes and negroes, and addressed them, advis
ing the negroes of the necessity of obeying the
laws and avoiding all unlawful conduct. After
Gen. Clanton had also addressed the crowd, the
negroes dispersed. They Rid not show any arms,
and our reporter is of opinion that there is no.
longer any danger of collision.
The citizens of Tuskegee declared that they
did not need any assistance, and that they felt
quite competent to quell any disorder that might
have arisen, whether" instigated by wMtes or
blacks.
Of coarse while the negroes aro responsible
for any exhibition of riotous conduct they may
have manifested, the vile Radical white men
who excited their passions for political effect by
falsely charging wMte men and Democrats with
the shooting of Alston, shonldbe held to a strict
accountability.
The negroes implicated in the shooting of
Alston were to be tried yesterday evening by a
special Conrt convened for that purpose.
THE FIRST CHINESE.
Their Arrival at Yew Orleans-Thclr wages
nml Appearance—lVlint the Agent Says.
The New Orleans Price Current, of Saturday,
says:
Tho bark Ville de St. Loo, from Hong Kong,
arrived at our wharf on Thursday, after a pas
sage of 107 days, having on board 1G7 coolies.
TMs is the first lot of coolies who have come
direct from China to New Orleans, but we un
derstand that they will shortly be followed by
220 more, per the sMp Charles Auguste, en
route for tMs city from Hong Kong. The ar
rivals by the St. Loo on Thursday wero brought
over by the Arkansas Valley Immigration Com
pany, and are to be employed along the Arkan
sas River in raising cotton. They are to receive
as compensation for their labor, eight dollars a
month in gold, and are to serve for three years,
their passage money from China to tMs coun
try, $13 per head, being paid by tho employers,
the latter having also famished them with pro
visions for the joumoy. The cargo of the Charles
Auguste it is intended to distribute among sev
eral sugar planters on Lafourche. Theso arrivals
will doubtless do much towards assisting the
settlement of the question concerning tho wis
dom of importing Chinese laborers, and tho ca
pacity of the latter for laboring in our cotton
and cone fields, as well as the relative value of
rhe Chinaman to the negro as a laborer. Cer-
t iin it is that if they should prove as satisfacto
ry as their employers anticipate, we shall soon
have sufficient material, through future sMp-
ments, to fill up the gap left by the loss of ne
groes who have either died or given up working
in the field for a precarious and often dishonest
living about onr cities.
Mr. Frank "Williams, of this city, who went
over to China to engage the oargoes of coolies
noted above, states that he found considerable
difficulty in obtaining good and trnlhworthy
hands. He represents the lower classes in the
seaboard cities as being vile and degraded, bnt
gives an entirely different account of the peo
ple of the rural districts, characterizing them as
dooilo, energetic, industrious and faithful. The
deceit practice upon these people in years past,
when many of them were taken to the West In
dies and sold into slavery, has led them to be
rather shy in making engagements with strang
ers to leave thoir own country for places of
which they know nothing. But it is anticipated
that this will give place to other feelings when
they have had an opportunity of hearing from
those who are about to take up their abode upon
onr farms and plantations.
We liBd the pleasure of meeting, at the office
of Col. J. T. Tuckc-r, agent of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad, Messrs. L. Mingkewong and O.
Margting, merchants of Hong Kong, China,
who aro direct from that city via San Francisco,
having been eight days on the route £rom the
latter place. These gentlemen, although they
aro away from their own oountry for flue first
time, speak and write English very fluently.
They are here to superintend the first sMpment
of emigrant laborers from their country, and to
see in person how they are suited to the work
required of them. They express themselves as
decidedly in" fayor of an even country and mild
climate, and if the first company are as well
pleased as it is expected they will be, others
will follow to work on onr Southern railroads,
which Messrs. Mingkewong and Margting in
tend to make a speciality with those laborers
under their control.
From Houston County.
Persy, Ga., June 7th, 1870.
Editors Telegraph aud Messenger:
“I blow for Houston.” Hayneville gave a
Sabbath School celebration on the 3d inst. Your
correspondent having been invited, and know
ing the reputation that the good people of that
enterprising village have sustained in the past,
in the way of getting np a plenty of something
good to eat and plenty to eat it, determined to
go. Accordingly when the third of June dawned
forth as bright and fair as a maiden’s blush, and
as the effulgent orb of day began to climb the
bine arch of Heaven we, a party of young folks,
set out for said place. After a pleasant ride
(with a fair damsel by my side) we arrived about
ten o’clock. Already a large crowd, as is always
the case when thero is eating to be done, was
assembled. As we drove up to the church whero
the exercises were to take place, our ears were
greeted with the sweet strains of vocal music,
whose swelling notes were floating on the morn
ing breeze.
The exercises consisted of speeches and songs.
Each class of the Hayneville Union Sabbath
School was represented by a speaker. Above
Mm waved the banner of Ms class, held by a
blushing fair one whose sweet, angelic presence
seemed to inspire the young Demosthenians
with an ambition of success; at least one of our
party, who, by the way, is a victim of Cupid’s
fiery dart, seemed to think that one of the speak
ers should have been inspired by Ms fair ban
ner lady, for he remarked had he been in that
posish Ms eloquence would have gushed forth
like crystal water from a sparkling soda fount.
Each speaker as he retired from the stage was
greeted with loud applause.
Class No. 1 was represented by the Rev. Mr.
Oliver, who is styled the Houston boy preacher,
but his address on that occasion entitled Mm to
the appellation of the Houston Spurgeon. May
the Btar of BetMehem guide Mm onward and
onward to that imperishable fame which Ms
extraordinary talent and uuequaled energy so
justly claim.
After the Hayneville speakers were through,
the invited schools, wMch consisted of the M. E
aud Baptist Sabbath Schools of Hawkinsville,
and the Schools from Hickory Grove and Hen
derson, were represented by their respective
speakers.
Rev. Mr. McCall spoke in behalf of the
Hawkinsville Baptist School. He displayed
wonderful tact in commanding tho attention of
tho little folks. Rev. Mr. Branch represented
the Methodist Episcopal, who said a great many
instructive things. At tho close of his speech
dinner was announced. The procession was
formed in front of the church and moved off iu
martial style to the dinner tables, .that ware
situated in an adjoining grove. A more abun
dant supply of provisions of all kinds, and bet
ter prepared, has never been onr province to
partake of before. The aroma that the smok
ing barbaoue emitted was exceedingly inviting,
or, at least, you would have thought so had
you seeu the ample justice that was done it by
all, little and big! Hayneville, and all who at
tended, are indebted to Capt. J. G. Brown for
the nice order of arrangements that character
ized the whole affair, and to Mr. Geter for the
best cooked barbacue that they ever tasted; or,
&3 the fellow said, “ever greased their pallets.”
After all had feasted to their hearts’ content,
they repaired to tho church. Here, for the first
time, I obtained a fair view of the assemblage,
and never in all my life have I witnessed a more
brilliant display of beauty, and such showers of
sweet smiles and sparkling eyes. I am satisfied,
from the blushes that ever and anon crimsoned
the beautiful faces of several fair damsels, that
the young gallants were whispering something
soft and sweet into their attentive ears.
At 3 o’clock the exercises were resumed. The
first speaker was Major Ezell, the Hickory
Grove baby, who said he was a little Sabbath
school scholar that went to Sabbath school to
learn Ms ABC from the big dogs (now this
baby weighs about 300 lbs Troy.) He said Ms
little school was ambitious to be HgHy repre
sented. He then proceeded to read, as he said,
what Hickory Grove had to say.
Mr. Hodges represented the Henderson Sun
day school with a fine speech. He returned
thanks to the citizens of Hayneville for their
Mnd and hospitable reception.
The Hon. H. R. Felder brought up the rear
in a most eloquent speech, or, as he styled it,
the doxology to all the schools, the subject of
wMch was children—and the way he did score
those who had not a proper appreciation of their
importance—but regarded them"as pests, to-be
slapped and scolded every time they come about.
From Ms words I thought ho alluded to old
maids, but he did not specify any particular
class, in which he no doubt acted very prudent
ly. The Rev. Mr. Knox, of Perry, prononneed
the benediction, aud the assembly soon melted
away, appare?>‘l/ perfectly satisfied.
As tho sou began to sink in the west, onr
party started for home, and on onr way the
yonng ladies made hill and dale echo with their
sweet voices. The crops all along the road
looked finely, and if the seasons continue, the
farmers expect to have plenty of the staff of
life this Fall. "We arrived home about dark,
and being wearied from the excitement of the
day, retired for the night, and as soon as Mor
pheus threw his arms around me I was dream
ing of sparkling eye3, sweet smiles aud sweet-
savored provisions.
The good people of Hayneville have our sin
cere thanks for their Mnd hospitality, and our
congratulations on their complete success.
Yours respectfully,
“Shoo Fly.”
Appoetionjient op theGeobgia Cotton Cbop.
A legal friend says the growing cotton crop of
Georgia will be appropriated as follows: One
third to pay for Fertilizers; two thirds for West
ern corn and bacon; one tMrd for mules, horses
and other stock from the'"West; one tMrd for
dry goods and other Northern purchases; one
third for labor; one third for interest, wear and
tear and use of stook. The remaining thirds
go to profits.

Tlie Fifteenth Amendment.
Punchinello thus satirizes the bill to enforce
the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment
under the head of “Condensed Congress:”
In spite of the obstinate silence of Stunner,
the Senate has been lively. Its first proceed
ing was to pass a bill—an interminable and
long-drawn bill—ostensibly to enforce the Fif
teenth Amendment. But the title is a little
joke. As no single person can read tMs bill
and live, and as no person other than a member
of the bar of FhiladelpMa could understand it,
if he survived the reading' of it, Punchinello
deemed it Ms duty to have the bill read by re
lays of strong men. What is the result ? Six
of Ms most valued contributors sleep in the
valley. But what aro their lives to-the welfare
of the universe, for wMch ho exists? Re bill
prorides:
1. That "any person of a darker oolor than
chrome yellow shall hereafter bo entitled to
vote to any extent at any election, without ref
ence to age, sex, or previous condition, any
thing anywhere to tho contrary notwithstand
ing.
2. That any person who says that any snch
person ought not to vote shall be punished by a
fine to the extent of his possessions, and be
anathema.
3. That any person who shall, with intent to
prevent the voting of any such person, strike
such person npon the nose, eye, month or other
feature, within one mile of any place of voting,
within one week of any day of voting, shall be
punished by fine to twice the amount of his
possessions, and shall be disentitled to vote for
ever after. Morever he shall be anathema.
4: That any person who shall advise any other
person to question the right of any person of
the hue hereinbefore specified to vote, or do
any other aot whatsoever, shall be punishable
by fine to the extent of three times kin pos
sessions, and shall be anathema.
5. That all the fines collected under this act
shall be expended upon the endowment of
“The Society for Securing the Pursuit of Hap
piness to Amerioan Citizens of AfricanDescent.”
And if any person shall call in question the jus
tice of such a disposition of snch fines, he shall
be punishable by fine to the extent of four times
Ms possessions, and Bhall be anathema.
Mr. Wilson objected to anathema. He said
nobody in the Senate but Mr. Stunner knew
what it meant. Besides, it was borrowed from
the syllabus of a degraded superstition. He
moved to substitute the simple and intelligible
expression, “Hebedam.”
The Last.—A WasMngton special to Fomey’s
Press, of Tuesday, says tMs of the -visit there
of the Ohio parson who figured so extensively
at Andersonrille, recently:
“He says that several leading citizens, re
tired merchants, and men of wealth, who have
been quiet lookers on in political affairs, assured
Mm that they would not feel themselves or their
property safe in Georgia, for an instant, under
legislation such as is proposed by Gov. Bni-
look’s political enemies. ’
It is evident that a lie is out. Who has told
it must be settled between the correspondent
and tbe preacher.
Foreign Immigbation.—The New York Herald
of Monday says, the cry of “ still they come”
does not adequately express the overflow of the
people of Europe on our shores; for they come
more freely than ever. Two thousand a day
was the average of last week, making for six
days a fair figure over twelve thousand. Two
incoming ships brought upward of fifteen hun
dred each.
