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.

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 Spalding County.—The Griffin Star say» tion are dying up at an alarming rate; not, how ever, with any mntagion or epidemic, but sole ly in consequent of voluntary exposure,intem perate hours, consequent sickness, and then, for the want oi the attention they received while they were slaves, die for want of medi cine and proper attention.

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, Smith (7th), Speer, Wallace, Wejch—21.

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. In the House the penitentiary report was discussed at length. Several bills were read a first time, among which were the following: Mr. Houston—A bill to prevent carrying con cealed weapons. Also, a bill to make road3 from Isle of Hope to tho main road on Skidaway Island pnblio roads.

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.
