And to the rising moon is given
A voice, “His will bo done!”

God W'oeks Silently.—Drop a piece of wool

eoiseless. How about the snow ? Does is make
ignatsbonttotell us it is coining? Certain-
Mot. ‘‘He giveth enow like wool?” It is
miedess. And this is utterly characteristic of
tie Dime operations. The great forces of the
ttiversc are mute. The sun never speaks. The
uaospliere -is mute. Gravitation has not a
' igue.
In silence mighty things are wrought;
Silently boilded, thought on thonght,
Truth’s temple greets the sky.
Ini like a citadel with towers,
lie soul with her subservient power
Is strengthened silently.
Sonndlees as chariots on the snow,
IheeapliDgsof the forest grow
To trees of mighty girth;
Eich nightly star in silence bums,
ltd every day in silence turns.
The axle of the earth.
Tbo silent frost, with mighty hand,
Fetters the rivers of the land
With universal chain; 4 -

Ibe ebsin is loosed, the rivers .run,
The lands are free again.

Sectionalism.
^e copy the following from the New York
«mercial Advertiser, and hope it will heed
Sown counsel:
_ ®*o of the banes of our politics in the days
■■•!< litUum was “sectionalism.” The South
it upon the North, and the North upon
“‘South, with how much reason those familiar
rah the period alluded to and the result of the
■““7 then prevailing, can decide. During that
tile South paid assiduous addresses to
West, and endeavored to prove to the latter
*i the interests of the two sections were iden-
• ; ~i and that in caso of war they must go
^sther, beoause cotton was the complement
•ttogandhominy, and the Mississippi flowed un-
Jhtd among States of both sections. The
failed in its purpose, and found as invet-
■hte a hostility to its pretensions in the West
hin New England. The West is in fact na-
-®sl, deeply so, and instructively so. It may
s restive under Eastern laws and influence,
y grumble and quarrel at New England, but
Has no sympathy with any act or thought of
stance to the national rule.
In these days, too, we see outcroppings of the
fhse old spirit. Governor Seymour, in one of
®* messages, discoursed of the “ideas of Now
‘fS'&nd" at great length, and showed how
*•*« bordering on common rivers should sym-
Jjras. So Southern papers still cling to the
•fj We*, and in every railroad discussion cry
w for such a union of West and South as shall
'-jopose a vigorous opposition to the- ambition
* “* Middle and Eastern States. The Nash-
Cnion says that the South needs “a policy
will protect its interests—interests which
“•identical with those of the West, and which
contribute most to the growth and prosper-
3P* ike whole country." What this policy is,
:'«C3 not altogelber make clear. It is enough,
®**ter, that a combination strong enough to
."riibflanco the influence.of the East in Legis-
^ :a i3 hinted at. Now, this sort of thing is
S *rong. It has a basis neither in reason nor
7 ptriotism. It gave us one war with its her
eof debt, and that should be enough to
tew foul is the result that proooeds from

Bbooks County.—The Tax Assessor of Brooks
county furnishes the Quitman Banner with the
subjoined statistics of Brooks county:
Number of Polls returned 1,477
Working hands 1,592
Acres of Land 417,595
Value of Land $974,151

Brooks held a tournament of the Knights of
Nankin, at Nankin, ten miles below Quitman,
lost Thursday week. The Knight of the Red
Rose, William Cooey, came off with the first
honor, and led forth the beautiful Mis3 Francis
Duncan to be crowned Queen of Love and
Beauty. Feasting and dancing concluded the
day.
Brooks holds a Democratic Convention on the
Cth of August, and sends to the Atlanta Agricul
tural Convention, as delegates, Judge J. O.
Morton, Dr. J. M. Alexander and J. T. Perdue,
Esq. ' The delegates are expected to prepare
themselves with all necessary statistics in refer
ence to the agricultural and mechanical and
manufacturing interests of the county they re
present.
Tebbell County holds a Democratic Conser
vative meeting at Dawson on the^d of August
The Dawson Journal says:
There was a general rain fell on Friday last,
in some localities amounting almost to a water
spont The oldest citizens say that the like
was never seen before in Dawson. Sinco that
lime the weather has been very hot, with bright
sunshine, such as is needed to bring out the cot
ton plant. The report from the com crop con
tinues favorable.
From Calhoun and Baker counties we hear
that the worms are eatiDg up the grass, blade3
of the com stalk, sugar cane, gardens, and on
some plantations the cotton fields have been
destroyed. It is not usual for this worm to at
tack the cotton plant, but we are reliably in
formed that the damage done to some planta
tions in Calhoun is heavy indeed.
The Dawson Cab Wobks.—Speaking of this
extensive establishment, the Dawson Jonmal
says:
It does one good to visit the Car Works of the
Dawson Manufacturing Company. Vou will
find life, activity, and such system in every de
partment os is not of often found in so large an
establishment. Each department, (and there
are quite a number of them,) seems to move
like clock work, each man and boy understand
ing his particular business. Mr. Atkinson, tbe
Superintendent, is certainly the right man in
the right place. In the office we found the ur
bane and gentlemanly President, Maj. O. O.
Kelson, and was much pleased to see the system
and regularity displayed in the workings of the
Company. The gentlemanly bearing and con
duct of tbe operatives is remarked by our en
tire community.
The works are now turning out thirty-five to
forty box cars monthly, and Major N. tells us
he purchased, while in the East a few days
since, additional machinery, which will greatly
add to tho capacity of the works. Nothing
contributes so much to the prosperity of our
town as these works, and we heartily wish we
had a few more such Manufacturing Companies
like the one of which wo write. The company
now employs over one hundred men and boys,
eighty being employed in the car works, the
balance at their saw mills.
Lowndes County.—The Valdosta Times, of
the 27th, announces concerts on the Court
house square every Saturday afternoon, by a
military band. That i3 metropolitan.
The Agricultural Society met in Valdosta
on Saturday last and elected the following gen
tlemen as delegates to the convention to be held
in Atlanta: Messrs. R. A. Peeples, S. E. Myd-
dleton and H. B. Holliday.
Coweta County.—The Newnan Banner says
that city wa3 startled by a terrifio explosion
Wednesday evening, caused by the occidental
explosion of a quantity of gunpowder in tbe
office of Mr. R. H. Barnes. Tbe-fouilding was
badly damaged, but nobody seriously hurt.
The Banner announces a meeting of the
Democratic party of Coweta in the Court House
on the first Tuesday in August, for the purpose
of appointing delegatos to the State Convention
and the transaction of other business.
The same paper also has the following:
Mrs. Mary Bigby, wife of Judge Bigby, of
this city, died Saturday evening, July 23d, and
was buried in the presence of an immense mul
titude of sorrowing friends Sunday evening, 6
o’clock.
The District Meeting, at Grantville, was
largely attended, and the sermon by Bishop
Pierce, on Sunday, was one of characteristic
power and eloqnence.
Decatub County.—The Agricultural Society
of Decatur was reorganized last Monday. The
Sun says:
The following gentlemen were put in nomin
ation and unanimously elected: Col. Charles J.
Monnerlyn, President; Maj. Dnncon Curry,
Vice President; Mr. S. W. Patterson, Trea
surer ; and Capt. John C. Rutherford, Secre
tory. Judge Joel Johnson, Capt. B. B. Bower,
and John Donalson, Esq., were elected delegates
to attend the Agricultural Convention to be
held in Atlanta, the lGth proximo. The Sun
also makes the following report on crops : Our
country friends report crops in pretty good con
dition. It has been dry and hot since our last
issue, which has caused the lice to disappear
from the cotton, and it is now growing rapidly.
No report of caterpillar or boll-worm so far.
The com crop is excellent. It is thought by a
great many that the yield will be larger than
that of. any year since the surrender. Some
few planters are pulling fodder. Sugar cane
and potatoes look remarkably well. The Son
makes the following report of the first open
Cotton: Mr. Jaoob Harrell brought into our
sanctum last week a boll of open cotton. De
catur county shipped the first bale of new cot
ton to Savannah last year; can’t she do it this ?
Tboup County.—Tho West Point Shield, of
Friday, has the following:
We learn from a friend just from the White
Sulphur Springs, in Merriwether county, that
the crops in that section are looking well. We
are glad to know that the people thero have
acted sensibly in planting a plenty of com. He
reports the people enthusiastic, in that section,
upon the subject of a railroad from Columbus
to Newnan.
Negbo Kxtaxp.—Two negro men, Ephraim
Nolan and Vince Huguley, became involved in
a difficulty on last Saturday at the plantation of
Mr. George Huguley, .eight miles below West
Point, in Chambers county, Ala., which resulted
in the death of the former.
Negbo Dbownxd.—On last Sunday, a negro
hoy, almost grown, while in bathing jnst below
town, at the point known as the “White Oak,”
was drowned. His body was found on Tuesday
lodged on a rock about two miles below the city.
Muscogee County.—We clip the following
report of the situation in Columbus, and other
interesting items, from the Sun, of the 29th:
Weather, Business, Etc.—Yesterday, until
4 o’clock, the atmosphere was close; and the
heat of the son intense; 99 in the shade, was
quoted by some; later in the day it was cooler,
and in the vicinity of the oity good.showers fell;
at six o’clock our prospects for a * sprinkle was
good. Business, for the day, was brisk; mar
ket well supplied with everything heart could
wish, and money plenty. Idlers few, mostly
black; sickness hard to find! grumblers out of
breath, and unable to raise more gas; every
body content, and those who want it have plenty
of work at good wages. Merchants and others
doing a cash bnsiness; nobody asks for credit.
Columbus is in a mere flourishing eondition
than we have ever known before, and is still
going ahead; manufacturers, capitalists, mer
chants, in fact everybody and everybody’s
friend is happy and independent.
Good News.—The track of the Tailroad from
Quincy to Chattahoochee is, we are informed,
nearly completed, some say but one mile or less
is yet unlaid. Good news for everybody here
and hereabout. October 20th will see it com.
pleted.
Heady Meeting.—A husband and wife, hail
ing from Philadelphia,’ accidentally found each
other in our city a few days since. Ths place
had been appointed for a meeting, but a mis
take in the name of the hotel came near losing
the chance of meeting for some longer time.—
The mother had with her an only infant child,
The Sun has also the following singular state'
ment. Is it facetious or a serious dot on negro
snpersition ?
Bugaboos.—Numbers of male negroes were
out Wednesday night hunting for the “buga
boos.” One negro scared at hi3 own shadow,
ran into the river, and was with a great diffi
culty saved from a watery grave. Such ma
noeuvres ought to be looked into and stopped
before some one is foolishly hart. Such squads
as we have seen on our streets for the past few
nights, are calculated to cause unnecessary
alarm.
Speaking of fishing in the Chattahoochee
River, the Columbus Enquirer say:
Bradford and a party of three others, on
Wednesday, near Woolfolk’s bend, caught with
hook and line upwards of one hundred fish—
among them many fine brim and jack.
Richmond County.—Tho Chronicle and Sen
tinel, as well as the Columbus Sun, talk of
weather at 99 in the shade, but we iu Macon
have had none of that kind. The Chronicle
says that last Sunday was confessed to be the
warmest day of the season. At threo o’clock
the ;thermometer indicated ninety-nine degrees
in the Bridge House, os cool a building, per
haps, as there is in the city. At five o’clock
the mercury stood at one hundred in the Chron
icle and Sentinel counting room, and at an
earlier honr in the day stood at one hundred
and two in a drug store of this city.
The Pout Royal RAELBoaD Was.—An army
of two hundred laborers on the Port Royal
Road invaded Augusta Thursday morning to
see about their pay. They were without money
or food, having received no rations. At Sand
Bar Ferry, unable to pay ferriage, they helped
themselves to the boat. They then moved in
solid column to tho office of Chapman & Co.
but Chapman had gone to Atlanta, and was not
there to crow defiance. The interposition of
the city authorities, however, extorted food
for the hungry crowd from some attaehes of
the office, and prevented violence about the
pay. The local treasurer and paymaster of the
road had no funds, but was confident Chap
man would return to Augusta in a few days
with the necessary funds. The Mayor then ad
vised Abbott to close the office, which be did,
After seeing to their food, the Mayor arranged
with George G. Hull, of tho Macon & Augusta
Road, to employ some of the hands, and he
took seventy-five. Some of them were also
hired to go to Southern Georgia, and the affair
passed off without a disturbance. The negroes,
however, were very angry, as well as hungry,
and threaten to kill Chapman on sight. The
Chronicle says:
Thus ends’tho' first chapter in tho history of
tho Port Royal Railroad. That the road will be
finished, and at no distant day, there cannot he
a doubt; but whether the present managers of
the enterprise will be able to push it to a com
pletion remains to be seen.
The Constitutionalis&is requested to state to
the dogs that they cannot be admitted to the
fairgrounds, either with or without tickets. Ac
cording to the sauie paper Augusta is about
making a sensible start in the manufacture of
ice. That paper says
The Holden Ico Machine is tho invention of
D. L. Holden, of Kentucky, who served the
Sonth faithfully for four years. It was first con
structed for the use of chemogeue—a refuse
substance of petroleum—but after several trips
to Germany, Capt. Holden succeeded in per
fecting it to such an extent that tho extreme
temperature of 30 to 40 degrees below zero has
been attained by the simple revolution of air
through machinery. The method and construc
tion are perfectly simple, and the result, the
manufacture of clear flint ice, (just such ico as
comes from the extreme North) at a cost that
will enable the manufacturers to sell at a less
price thau it is sold to-day in the North. These
machines are now in successful operation in
New York, New Orleans, Mobile, Galveston,
Texas, Montgomery and several other cities of
tho Sonth and West, and soon, if not already,
will be in operation in Charleston.
The machine proposed to be erected in Au
gusta is of a capacity of production of ten tons
of clear flint ice per day, and, from the advan
tages of location, may run with water on the
canal, dispensing with the more costly powers
of steam, thus supplying the consumer with ice
at much less than Northern prices.
Ice is made in New Orleans at a cost of half
a cent per ponnd, and it is said to be cold
er and more durable ice than the natural
Supose ice could be made in Macon at that price,
with the markets of the neighboring towns and
country as well as the domeBtio market to sup
ply—what then ?
The Constitutionalist has the following:
New Locomotives dob the Macon and Au
gusta Railboad.—Mr. John.F. Keen, engineer
from the Georgia Railroad, leaves there this
morning for'Wilmington, N. C., for the pur
pose of securing two now locomotives for the
Macon and Augusta railroad, expeoted to arrive
at that port on Saturday. These locomotives
are to be called the “Sparta”and the “Clinton,'
and will probably reach this city on Tuesday
next. They are designed for jpaasenger service.
Chatham County.—Wo see from the Savan
nah Republican that the City Fathers have de
termined to put up a new market house, at a
cost of $75,000, It is not a day too soon. The
Republican, speaking of a tumbling floor in
Macon, says:
There is too much haste manifested in these
d&ys by builders in constructing halls and ware
houses, and we protest against this mode,’ by
which many good citizens are annually murder
ed.
The Savannah Daily News has the following
upon the outrage case : Isaiah Blocker, the ne
gro school teacher, who is charged with an out
rage upon one of his scholars, was brought be
fore Justice P. M. Russell, Jr., yesterday after
noon, for the purpose of a preliminary exam
ination. The Solicitor General, A. B. Smith,
and Bobt J. Wade, for the prosecution, and
Isaac M. Marsh, representing the a sc used. Tbe
father of the girl alleged to have been outraged
asked that the examination be postponed, as
the oondition of his daughter, who was ill from
the effects of the treatment received, would
not allow of her being present. Upon an affi
davit of the above faqta, and s statement made
by the Solicitor General that the osse could not
proceed on the part of the State in the absence
of this material witness for the prosecution, the
Court continued the case until four o’olock this
afternoon, the prisoner being remanded to jaiL

Antics or tbe Agency. s
The Senatorial branch of the agency, onFri
day, adopted resolutions to hold on, and pre
vent an election as provided for by the Consfi-
tntion in the following shape:
Whereas, The constitutional term of the sev
eral officers of this State, including that of this
General Assembly, are necessarily dependant
npon the time when, under tho several acts of
Congress, tho Constitution goes into operation
as tho paramount law, freed from military in
fluences ; and,
Whereas, The act3 of Congress of July 15,
1870, does not fix said time, and the same can
not, now, bo definitely settled until Congress
shall decide by tho actual admission of onr Sen
ators and Representatives; and,
"Whereas, It is unwise for them to complicate
affairs by the election of new officers while the
State Government, as such, under tho Consti
tution, begins its exHence, is uncertain; there
fore,
Resolved, That the General Assembly so
shape its legislation as that no election shall be
held for the various officers provided for by the
Constitution until Congress, by the admission
of onr Senators andRepresentatives, or in some
other way still definitely determine whether the
Constitution of this State is held to go into op
eration as the paramount law in 18G8 or 1870.
The vote on this resolution stood as follows:
Yeas—Messrs Bowers, Brock, Campbell, Col-
man, Corbitt, Crayton, Dickey, Griffin (Gth),
Griffin (31st), Karris, Henry, Henderson, Hig-
bee, Hungerfoid, Jones, Merrell, Sherman,

Nays—Messrs. Burns, Candler, Dunning,
Fain, Hicks, Hirton, Mathews, McArthur, Nes
bitt, Nunnally, Smith (SGtb), Traywick, Well
born, Wooten—14.
After having inthis sneaking way nullified
the provisions of the Constitution of the State
under which they are legislating, or they have
no right to legislate at all, thi3 branch of the
Agency adjourned.

discussed at length. Several bills were read a

Union Female College— Announce-
{lilt* ment Extraordinary.
In onr last issue we directed attention to the
change in toe Presidency of Union Female Col
lege, which we understand authoritatively, will
be re-opened first of October next, as has al
ready been announced under the charge of CoL
and Mrs. Hiram Hawkins. The College build
ing, beautifully located, will be thoroughly re
paired, refitted, and refurnished in most conve
nient and comfortable style. A full Faeulty,
embracing toe best qualified and most accom
plished and experienced Teachers in every De
partment usually taught in Southern Institu
tions, will be engaged in dne time.
The course of study will be reorganized and
conducted on the University Plan, by which Pa
rents, Guardians and Students may select their
studies, under the advice and suggestion of the
Principals. A diploma will be awarded for
each branoh of Btudy completed.
. The accommodation for boarders will be on- *rg
larged to toe comfortable "entertainment of a
hundred, if neoessarv. The price of board,
first class, will bs reduced to twenty-dollars.
Tuition will range from $45, $60, and $75.
for the different courses, which will embrace all
the branches essential to a thorough collegiate ;,
education, including an Art Department.
The Lady Principal will be Mrs, Hawkins,
under whose special charge will be all young la
dies of the Institution. The Discipline will be
strict, but parental in character and properly
tempered with mildness, and every incentive
adopted tor toe mental and moral advancement "
of pupils.
Among other conveniences will be a College “VS
Omnibus tor toe exclusive benefit of the College.
The Parlor will be elegantly furnished, and a
number of Parlor Boarders will be received.
Parents and Guardians who contemplate
sending daughters or wards to school, would do
well to await circulars from the Principal, giv
ing full information before making definite ar
rangements. As the College lias been leased to
CoL and Mrs. Hawkins, tor a term of eleven
years, including the unexpired year of .Prof,
Cary resigned, it will not be obnoxious to toe
frequent changes that characterize many insti
tutions of the country. We repeat that toe fa- .
tore of Union Female College promises all that
can be expeoted or hoped for by the community, 1
and we wish it God speed in toe career of pros- '
parity and nsefulne3a—Eufaula Notes.
New York Kciil'lqt on tbe War.
From the Tribune. 1
Far from subsiding, the interest in the ques
tion at issue in Europe grows more intense, as
day after day the contradictory messages are
received by the cable. A veiy large majority of
those who speak the German language on this
side of the ocean are united for Fatherland.*eyt *
The distrust with which toe Austrians are. ^
viewed in Europe does not prevail hare, for
many of the leading men of that nation now in
exile on these shores have contributed largely
to the funds ’ collecting in this oity and else
where for the benefit of Prussia. It is stated. ■
that upward of $250,000 have already been sub
scribed, and that arrangements are making’to
establish a fund which will permit of weekly ■
contributions daring the war. A large number
of. those who, by the militia laws of Prussia;
aria obliged to return to their country in case of
war, have left to fulfill their obligations—some
paying the expensos out of their own savings,
others helped by the rich German merchants.
Large crowds collecting daily around the .bnl-.
letins at toe newspaper offices, and the little .
barefooted urchins who peddle the issued ex
tras never had a larger demand for their stock. 4 *
Some twenty clubs of German sympathizers
have been organized in this city and new oails
are issued for German popular meetings. The
stir and bustle among them is in marked con
trast to the seeming quiet of the Frenchmen. Y
These have not made any display, but there i3
no reason for supposing that toey are less unan
imous or less earnest and willing to 4 do what is
in their power for the success of the French
arms. Fearing difficulties of a serious nature,
the more prominent French citizens from tho
beginning have cautioned their countrymen
not to make any display, but to act quietly and ' .
earnestly. French clubs, however, have been
formed, and large contributions for the aid of
wounded French soldiers are pouring in. Per
sona wishing to join the army are sent over
free of expense to themselves. Confidence aa?^
to success is generally expressed,, except among ■
toe Republicans. . '
Treatment ol Sunstroke.
1. Apply ice-cold water to the top of the
head, and if the burning is felt at the base of
the skull apply cold there, taking care not to .,
wet the back.
2. Give to drink (hot, if possible) cayenne
pepper and ginger stirred into water, and as •
strong 1 as the : patient can take it (Fluid ‘es*
nce of Jamaica ginger” is exoellent for this,
trpose and as a preventive.)
3. Quickly wrap the body in a blanket or
her warm covering, for life depends upon re
storing the natural circulation and stimulating
free perspiration.
;4. Don’t allow the sun’s rays to touch the
atient’a head for at least 24 hours.
If at hand, a warm bath would aid matei^
iallv, and carbonate of ammonia taken inter-,
naliy in proper quantity is a safe and valuable
stjmulant .
_ Another authority says: Place the patient .
immediately in a shady place, with the head
well elevated ; loosen everything about the
neck and waist; keep the whole head wet with
ioe cold water (if some common spirits are ad
ded tG it all the.better;) apply mustard poul
tice to pit of the stomach, and legs and feet;;
keep them warm; also to_ the wrists. Give
him the benefit of air, keeping the crowd, away,
tablespoonful doses of brandy and water,
about an ounce in fifteen minutes. Keep .the
patient quiet until a physician arrives.
FAME PRETENCES. ^ *
The vast and continually increasing sales of Hoe-
tetter’s Stomach Bitters have provoked<toe envy of
a Certain class of dealers in various puts of the
oountry, who ue bring to substitute then utterly
worthless local nostrums tor the most popular pro
prietary medicine in the world. These imposters
hope by toeir false statements to obtain item t&4
millions who patronize ths great American Tonic, a '
sufficient number of customers to make their spee* W:
niations upon the health of their neighbors profit- -i
able. As toe demand for Hostettor’s Bitters is now
so .large and urgent as to tax to their fullest
extent the facilities for its manufacture, these petty
attempts to wring in the merest trash by false rep
resentations, are of little consequence to its propri
etors. They ue, however, a serious evil to toe vic
timized. If, tor example, at this warm season,
when a real invigorant is greatly needed, toe suf
ferer from general debility, indigestion, biliousness
or nervous weakness, is coaxed into using a wishy-
washy compound without any medicinal virtue, in
stead of toe sovereign speoiflo. in which the rarest J
tonic and alterative vegetable elements are scientif
ically combined, it is obvious that he will rue ths
day when he allowed himself to be thus deluded.
