MACON, FEBRUARY 3, 1871.
Tlie News.
We get the final collapse of the French war
to-day. Five and a half months of bloody strag
gle and nninterrnpted defeat and disaster have
placed France in the hands of her traditional
enemies, and blotted her out of existence as a
leading European powor for a generation. She
begins this week her hard toil for life and blood-
money. Paris sets in to raise a levy of fifty-
three millions of francs, which is bnt a drop in
the bucket, in respect to what must come. But
Bighs and groans over ruined France are of no
avail; and, after all, she may have no worse fu
ture than that of the Gorman people. Remitted,
as wo beliove they are, to a great military ca
reer, a long chapter of violence and blood is be
fore them in which the miseries of the victors
can only be less than the woes of the conquered.
The papers say that in tho war just closed three
hundred thousand Germans have perished on
tho field or in the hospitals.
It will bo interesting to see what course French
Reconstruction will take under the various in
fluences controlling it. One dispatch talks of
a Regency under the Empress Eugenie, Trochu
andFavre. It is evident any such administra
tion must be upheld by the bayonet; but it is
not so clear that tho French Republicans are
prepared to furnish any organization worthy of
the name of Government. Such pestilent radi
cals as Flourens can only inaugurate confusion
and chaos. Tho French National Assembly
moots in Bordeaux in a few days, and we shall
soon see whether the desperate condition of
public affairs elicits any thing from that body
better than clamor and confusion of tongues.
From Cuba it is reported that tho insurrection
is over at last. The Spanish authorities took
to clemency instead of the garote, and such a
surprising oventsoon knocked the breath out
of the rebellion. It astonished the insurrection
to death.
The Gorman Emperor has returned to Berlin,
where, no doubt, he met with an enthusiastic
reception. A Grand Council of the Empiro has
been convoked for the 20th of February.
Another wretched steamboat disaster is telo-
graphed from Memphis, involving tho loss of
sixty lives. The number and fatality of such
catastrophes on the Mississippi river strikes tho
people with surprise and horror. If there be
no way of making Mississippi navigation safer,
it ought to be suppressed by statute. The
worst times of the high pressure days of 1835,
did not equal the bloody achievements of this
present winter.
Numerous marine disasters are al30 reported
from the coast, resulting from the late storm.
Steamship Kensington, from Savannah for
Boston, was lost on her last trip and three boat
'leads of her passengers wore picked up by the
Steamship Georgia.
The advance in cotton 6eems to have been
checked by the reports of heavy receipts. Tho
excess over last year now mounts up to 4G7.704
bales. Last week it was 422,885—showing an
increase of 44,619 bales during the week. Es
timates now range from 3,700,000 to 4,000,000
bales.
The weather yesterday was very dark, cloudy,
■damp and cold.
The Lee iieinw. ;.*i taotnrp, To-Night.
We trust no man or woman in Macon who
honors the deeds, and reveres the memory of
the great Lee, will fail to attend the lecture to
night at Ralston’s Hall. Let it go upon the
record that Macon’s heart and Macon’s hand
made haste to honor themselves in honoring
him. Let her contribution to that memorial
which shall, with it3mute eloquence, tell future
generations of the high place he held in tho
hearts of his people, be as generous as that of
any of her sisters. We shall not permit our
selves to doubt that any other result will be
seen.
Referred to the Reconstruction Commit
tee.—Picking np the New York World of last
Saturday, let ns read over the head lines of the
first three columns of that paper: “A Fight
in tho Capitol. Another BrawL A Struggle
for Life. A Black Record. Parricide. Ar
raignment of John Ware for the Murder of his
Father. Horrible Brutality in a Youth of
Twenty. Matricide. A Daughter Cuts her
Mother’s Throat from Ear to Ear. Tho Way-
land Tragedy. Funeral of the Victims.” All
that in the three first columns of tho paper.
Won’t the Outrage Committee take some notice
of each a state of affairs a3 this ? or is it trne,
as alleged, that Congress does not think white
outrages worthy of attention?
Thanes.—To a committee of tho Virginia
Dialectic Society, of the Virginia Military In
stitute, for an invitation to attend their semi
annual celebration on the 2d proximo; and to
Hon. P. M. B. Young, M. C. from 7th Congres
sional District, for a copy of tho Congressional
Globe containing his remarks on presenting the
credentials of Hon. S. A. Corker, M. 0. from
the 5th Congressional District, who was seated
by such a triumphant majority. Gen. Young
is much praised for the shrewd manner in which
he managed his case and succeeded in “bottling
Up” Beast Bntler.
Thieves in Office.—Tho Radical organ at
Charleston has the blues, decidedly. Tho edi
tor confesses that he is “gloomy” because “so
.many of the public men of that State are
thieves.” It is very sad, bnt as these fellows
are all loil, it must bo very trne. We suppose
they have failed to divide with the “gloomy’*
man, and that’s what ails him. Let ns all sing
•‘Rally Round the Flag.”

The Difference.—A cute Yankee widow says
the lobbying in Washington is done by tempting
Yankee Congressmen with money and the Dem
ocrats with women.—Exchange.
“ Adzactly.” And that’s just one more roason
for being a Democrat. The idea of a live man
selling his vote for dirty greenbacks, when her
pouting, rosy lips, lustrous eyes, and snowy
arms jingles the bard cash of her countless
charms as prospective payment for tho same
commodity! —Macon Telegraph.
Oh, fie for shame! We blash for yon, broth
er Clisby.' To think that neither your morals
nor your Democracy are any better proof. But
where did you ever see“Yankee widow” lobbyists
with “pouting, rosy lips, lustrous eyes and
snowy arms?”—Savannah News.
Perhaps the Democratic Congressmen have
been luckier than yon, Major, and—“that’s
what ails Hannah.” Do yon Hriah they’d trade
with any other sort ? Really this practice of
judging others by one’s self is getting distress-
ingly common.
An Ignominious Failure.—Many efforts have
been made to improve upon the pathetic poem,
“Mary bad a little lamb,” bnt without success.
The latest-attempt in this direction, contributed
by a young lady to the Telegraph and Messen
ger is an ignominious failure. It begins thus:
Mary had a little lamb,
She laid it on a shelf;
And every time it wagged it tail,
• You know how it is yourself.”
TaxLutheranminister at Versailles, M. Pas3a,
requested the chaplain of King William to ob
tain the pardon of an unfortunate, who was
condemned to be shot. The chaplain said, “No.
If he has been sentenced, he deserves to be
shot This war is to the knife.” “Sir,” an
swered M. Fassa, “it is very evident that each
of ns is serving a different God.”
Senator Cameron.—Aooording to the Wash
ington correspondent of the Charleston Courier
Senator Cameron maintains that “the Booth
Deeds no more reconstruction. All that is neo-
eanry is to let her alone.”
Europe’s Shame.
The downfall of Paris and consequent subju
gation of France, is the saddest event that has
gone on record since the surrender at Appomat
tox. It is Europe’s shame, too, and so History,
with a pen pointed with tho living fires of scorn
and reprobation, will write it That the civil
ized Christian nations of Europe should calmly
fold their hands and permit this consummation
of a war waged so brutally, wickedly and cause
lessly—since Sedan—is a disgrace that will slick
to, and stain them for all time to come. The
Prussian war, since the surrender of tho Empe
ror, has been a war without one solitary re
deeming feature—without one decent reason—
a war to gratify a robber lust for spoils, and for
the vilest purposes of private pillage and des
truction. Tho Prussians have robbed and har
ried the people of France even more shamefully
than tho Yankee bummers did our people. They
have balked at no excesses suggested by their
thirst for blood and booty.
And yet, Europe has looked on in calm indif
ference, and now the end has come, and poor
France lies bleeding and exhausted at the feet
of her barbarous foe! Shame, bitter, biting,
everlasting shame upon those who stood by and
permitted this crowning infamy, this apotheo
sis of brutal, bloody lust.
In all this though there is one consolation
shining through for our solace. Retribution
will surely follow. Prussia will not stop at
overwhelming France. The thirst for blood
and plunder grows by what it feeds on. The turn
of some of these nations that have allowed this
montrous consummation will come next. If
they go down as France has done, she will be
partially avenged. If they band together and
crush Prussia, Franco will be fully avenged.
The fntoro holds one or the other of these
events in store as sure as fate itself.
The only question abont which there can be any
question is, how far off this reckoning lies hid
den. 'Whether in the near or distant future,
we hope to be living to hail its coming, and
watch its relentless work. Meanwhile, let
France prepare herself to wait patiently for that
revenge which the resistless current of fate will
one day sweep within her reach. Sho is braised
and bleeding, and exhausted, now, bnt stil
holds within herself the elements of a splendid
vitality. She may yet drink the delicious
draught of seeing England, Austria and Italy
panting and bleeding under the heel of the
Prussian soldiery, or Prussia herself trampled
in the rninymd shame of overwhelming defeat.
We give onr .wannest sympathies and hearti
est good words to brave, beautiful Franoe.
May she rise like Anteus from the earth,, fresh
er and stronger, from her calamities, and yet
grind , to powder the insolent spoilsmen who
now oppress her.
A Developer on
High Horse.
The Chattanooga Time3 interviewed J. C.
Stanton, the General Superintendent of the Ala
bama and Chattanooga Railroad, the other day,
“at his elogantly famished office,” and got a
good deal of lofty and insolent talk from him,
with the request to print it. Stanton said he had
made an arrangement with Sutter & Co., to meet
the January interest of the State Aid Bonds, bnt
the threats of the Alabama newspapers to re
pudiate the bonds, scared them off, and they
told Startfrrvr* fViot tkoy tvavilA uoalra a. «
hero and see if they could get Gov. Lindsay to
acknowledge tho validity of the bonds by en
dorsing a four months’ extension or by recom
mending to the Legislature a recognition of tho
bonds.
Ho complained of Lindsay, and said he con
sidered the State of Alabama as now in the at
titude of a repudiator. In this condition of
affairs Stanton said he, Rice and his brother,
had raised one hundred thousand dollars each,
and agreed to raise the same amount twice
more—making $900,000 in all, which would
complete the road and pay the floating debt.
The road weald ask no more State indorsements,
but issue her first mortgage bonds and raise
money on them. When finished the credit of
the road would*-be far better than that of the
State. Not a dollar’s worth of stock had been
sold, and the trio had paid in, in instalments on
stocks $2,700,000.
Stanton had just received a dispatoh saying
that a mile and a quarter of track had been laid
the day before. The road would be finished in
forty working days. If the Governor would
send on a committee of fair and impartial men
ho would like it; but as ho has appointed a com
mittee of enemies, Stanton did not know wheth
er ho would recognize them or not. So far as
the State of Alabama wa3 concerned he “did
not care a continental damn.”
We presume subsequent events will develop
Stanton’s policy in thus Routing the State of
Alabama in the face. Report says there is no
good will between Lindsay and Stanton. Ho
laid himself out in the last Alabama election to
defeat Lindsay and re-elect Smith, and actually
voted a cool thousand of votes cast by the
employees of his road, by whites, blacks and
heathen Chinee, all dead against Lindsay. Stan
ton is now, or was very recently, in Montgom
ery, and there was a good deal of calorio gene
rated over this imbroglio.
We are informed that Stanton’s road is one
of the best, if not the best, in the whole South,
in respect to its construction and equipment.
The work has been very thorough—easy grades
—heavy cross-ties and plenty of them—stone
cuivoxts and station houses—and a track laid
with very heavy rails—all looking to lightning
time for through passenger trains on the great
New York and Southwestern route.
Greeley on Silk and Broom Corn
Culture in Missouri.
The Kansas City Bulletin says a Missouri far
mer recently wrote to Horace Greeley to know
if silk culture could be made profitable in Mis
souri. The veteran agriculturist of the Tribune
thought it could. He said it would necessitate
some trouble and expense to import the silk
bearing sheep from the mountainous regions of
Central Asia, bnt thought they could be easily
domesticated in Missouri. He said he presum
ed the rearing of the silk-bearing sheep would
become such an important branch of agricultu
ral industry in Missouri in five years that the
State would give 100,000 majority in favor of a
protective tariff, and quadruple'the present cir
culation of the Tribune.
The same fanner also inquires as to the prob
able profit of raising broom com in this State.
Mr. Greeley felt assured that it would be profit
able, but advised his correspondent to raise the
plain handled variety of brooms, inasmuch as
they were a more hardy variety than those with
red and bine rings aronnd the handles.
Souring on ’Em.—The Herald, of the 24th,
has these snapping paragraphs:
“Hon. Joshua Hill seems to bo the only one
of Georgia’s' numerous delegation at all likely
to secure admission to the Senate. Poor
Blodett, who has been flying aronnd Washing
ton trying to impress the magnitude of his own
claims upon the Judiciary Committee, is not
even mentioned in their report”
“Odor or Tainted Beef.—The withholding,
by Governor Bollock, of Georgia, of the cer
tificate of election to Congress of Nelson Tift,
upon a very flimsy pretext, the competing can
didate, Major Wmtely, having already graceful
ly thrown np the sponge and acknowledged Ms
defeat. That Bullock needs pickling.”
And he got it, too, on the 20tb, 21st, and 22d
of last December. Ask Akerman—provided
he’s well enongh to be interviewed.
Here’s the way a Vermont Dutchman ac

We clip the following items from the Savan
nah News, of Saturday:
Wetmorevs. Ross.—The caso is decided, and
by Mgh legal authority. His Honor, William
Schley, Judge of the Superior Court, yesterday
rendered a clear, Incid and elaborate decision
relative to the right of Captain H. S. Wetmore
to occupy the position of Ordinary of Chatham
county, and in the decision quoted at length
from the Reconstruction acts, and proved con
clusively that the acts of General Alfred Terry,
in placing Amherst W. Stone into the position
of Ordinary was unwarrantable, illegal and un
just. His Honor showed most conclusively that
Civil Law was in all eases paramount, and that
military law in the State of Georgia was unau
thorized, so long as the people of tho State up
held and respected the laws. The decision of
His Honor reflects great credit upon his well
known legal aoenmen, end we only regret that it
is not in our power to publish it full and entire.
Captain Wetmore was in Court when the de
cision was read by His Honor, the Judge, and
at its announcement received the congratula
tions of Ms many personal friends. His right
to occupy the position of Ordinary of Chatham
county is settled.
A Big Thing for the South.—We are in
formed that a joint stock company is being
formed in tMscity, for the purpose of purchas
ing the exclusive right to manufacture and use
“Thomson’s Patent Road Steamers,” for the
entire State of Georgia. From the illustrated
circular placed in our hands, it appears that
this admirable invention is particularly adapted
for transporting heavy freight or passenger
coaches over common roads, and that, too,
without the injury resulting from ordinary
wagon travel. They will draw from thirty to
forty passengers at the rate of from eight to ten
miles per hour, and for ploughing or other ag
ricultural purposes, are said to fill tho bill ex
actly.
The British Government, after a careful and
elaborate survey vy u Duua ui eiupcust offi
cials appointed specially for that purpose, have
already adopted this valuable patent in the War
Department, for the hauling of heavy ordnanoe
transporting stores, munitions of war, eta, and
numbers of them are now being constructed for
Colonial military stations. By a very simple
operation and at a slight expense, these road
steamers can be converted into stationery en
gines for driving cotton gins, sawB, pumps,
mills, threshing machines, eto.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Sunday, gives
the following particulars of an atrocions mur
der committed last Thursday by James Taylor,
nego, on Clinton Blaokburn, another negro. It
says:
On the evening of Thursday both of the par
ties were in Waynesboro with their employee,
Mr. D. J. Carpenter, and later in the evening
started for the plantation of the latter, situated
about five miles from town. Blackburn was un
der the influence of liquor, and was lying fast
asleep on some bags in the wagon. When
within a mile of the plantation, Taylor stopped
the wagon went to where Blackburn was lying,
and before he waf s-ware of what he was doing,
ent his throat from ear to ear with one stroke
of his knife, the blow being delivered with so
much force that the entire fleshy part of tho
neck was almost severed. Taylor succeeded in
making good Ms escape.
More Experiments with Fertilizers.
We clip from the Farm and Home for Feb
ruary the following report by the editor of the
result of the application of Fertilizers. The
manures were applied at tjje rate of fifteen dol
lars’ worth to the acre, strewn by a Dow Law
Planter in the bottom of the centre farrow in
each bed. Land closely plowed and three fur
rows subsoiled to the depth of a foot. Bedding
and application of the manure completed by
15th April, and seed of the Simpson variety sown
immediately thereafter. Picking commenced
first week in September. Result on twenty-four
and a half acres a total yield of 27,897 .pounds
of seed cotton or an average yield of abont
1,118 pounds per acre. Natural yield on the
land, without manure, about 350 or 400 pounds
to the acre:
Four acres manured exclusively with Sohley’s
Georgia Fertilizer produced 4,280 pounds.
Three acres manured exclusively with Eti-
wan No. 2 produoed 2,988 pounds.
Four acres manured exclusively with Patapsco
produced 3,624pounds.
Six acres manured exclusively with the mix
ture of Peruvian Gnano, Dissolved Bone, plaster
and salt produced 6,612 pounds.
One-half aere manured with Golqnit’s “Plan
ter’s A No. 1” yielded 687$ pounds.
One-half acre manured with Crichton’s Sn>.
perphosphate yielded 457 pounds.
One-half aore manured with Brightwell &
Bailey’s mixture yielded 562 pounds.
One-half acre manured with Sardy’s yielded
461 pounds.
One-half acre manured with Merryman’s Am-
moniated Dissolved Bone yielded 498 pounds.
One-half aore manured with Zell’s Superphos
phate yielded 489 pounds.
One-half acre manured with Ayres’ Ammoni-
ated Superphosphate yielded 492 pounds.
One-half aere manured with Sohley’s Georgia
Fertilizer yielded 548 pounds.
One-half aore manured with Etiwan No. 2
yielded 544 pounds.
One-half acre manured with Patapsco yielded
489 pounds.
One-half acre manured with mixture of Peru
vian Guano, eto., as above, yielded 626 pounds.
One-half acre manured with compost of hen
manure, 150 pounds, land plaster, 50 pounds,
dissolved bone, 100 pounds, salt, 25 pounds,
and rotted cotton seed (abont ten bushels,)
yielded 582 pounds.
One-half acre manured with Peruvian Gnano
alone yielded 604 pounds.
One acre, or more properly 9-10 of an acre,
which had been heavily manured in the preced
ing fall with stable manure, and 75 bushels
of ootton seed and to wMoh 250 pounds of Col
quitt’s “Planter’s A No. 1” were applied, yield
ed 2,854 pounfis. ’
This experiment, wMch is the most favorable
report we have yet seen in the agricultural
monthlies, would foot up in the aggregate as
follows:
Prodnot of the 24$ acres, 27,397; what it
would have been without fertilizers, say at 375
pounds to the aore, 8,188 pounds ;• excess, 19,«
209 pounds of seed cotton, worth, at 4$ cents
for the lint, $864 40; cost of fertilizers at $15
per acre, $367 50; showing a cash balance for
the lint, $496 90, and say abont thirteen thou
sand pounds of cotton seed, at whatever value
may be plaoed on them.
Messrs- Lockett & JORDAN have added three
large plantations to the seven they have hereto
fore cultivated, and now ran ten first-claBS
places. If this is a good crop year they will
probably pioduoe thirty-five hundred bales of
cotton.

brings the orew of the steamer Kensington,
from Savannah for Boston. The Kensington

Charleston, January 30.—The steamsMp
Kensington, Capt. 8. H. Mathew, left Savan
nah January 25th, for Boston, with a full cargo

north-northeast from Cape Hatteras, she was
ran into by the bark Templar, from Baltimore
for Rio Janeiro. The bark struck the steamer
on the port side, aft midstops. The steamer
commenoed to fill and sunk very rapidly, and

were passed, not belonging to the Kinsington.

A Night of Terror.
From the Knoxville Chronicle, January 14.]
Mr. George Sasong, of Jefferson county, some
time ago drove a large number of hogs over
into North Carolina;. Abont two weeks since,
on his return home, night overtook him in the
mountains near ilio State line, and he wasforced
to seek shelter in a house where entertainment
was promised. Mr. Sosong’s suspicions fwero
aroused by seeing several rough looking char
acters abont tho place—more than he thought
lived there, or were required to carry on the
business of the hotel—yet, as he could not
frame any reasonable excuse for leaving, and
not wishing the landlord to know he suspected
Anything, taok matters coolly, and was shown
to Ms room, wMch his entertainers locked on
the outside. Confirmed in-Ms opinion, and
being thus cat off, Mr. Sasong looked
abont the room for some means of escape.
Most probably he was armed, though we do
not know positively, but one against half
dozen was too great odds to contend with
strategy could be made available. The window
not being deemed safe, trap-doorsflashedaoross
his mind, but a survey across the floor convinc
ed him that notMng of the Mnd had formed
part of the architect’s plan in building the
house. Another thought struck Mm—he looked
under the bed and saw a sight that almost con
gealed the blood in Ms veins—the body of
man with his throat cat from ear to ear
Though sickened at this revolting speotacle he
did not lose Ms presence of mind, bnt rapidly
considered his impending doom. His plan was
soon chosen, and overcoming Ms repugnance,
he picked up the bleeding corpse of the mur
dered man, and placed it on the bed, covering
it carefully. He then extinguished the light,
and, taking his position behind the door, await
ed results. The moments passed slowly, and
seemed lengthened into hoars, bnt abont
midnight stealthy footsteps were heard ap
proaching , the door was sof tly opened, and five
forms were discovered in the darkness, who
with noiseless footsteps, approached the bet.
with gleaming knives in their hands, thinking
in a few seconds to glut their thirst for blood,
and satisfy their greed for money they expected
to obtain by the f onlest of orimes. • Mr. S. did not
wait to watch their movements, but slipped
quietly ont of the open door, and made his way
from the premises with all speed. Patting as
great a distance between him and the blood
stained portals of the pen of murder, the next
morning he found friends, to whom he related
his experience of the night before, who organ
ized in force, and succeeded in capturing four
of the scoundrels, and diligent search is being
made for the fifth, who is still at large. The
circumstances stated above were told us by
a responsible gentleman, who obtained -Ms in
formation from a reliable source, and that Mrs.
Susong had received letters from her husband,
who was still in the vioinily where he so nearly
met Ms death. The first letter -stated the oc
currences of the fearful night, and the second
Ms resolution to aid all in his power to bring
the villions to justice and punishment for their
crimes. . .
“Pitching into the Old Prophets and
martyrs.”
At the conclusion of Beecher’s sermon Sun
day before last in wMch he spoke of St. Paul as
“a little insignificant blear-eyed Jew,” a Herald
reporter had a conversation with one of the
loading members of the church who said:
“I have been ten years belonging to Beech
er’s church, and I like the old man first rate.
But he is dull to-day. He didn’t give anybody
a shot, did he? Tho supply of jokes was
rather short, I guess. You see the faot of the
matter is this. We have general “end men'
in tM3 church, but they haven’t shown up
to-day and there are a lot of the members of
the prayer-meeting who furnish jokes and con
undrums for Harper’s “Drawer,” and also for
Mft Beeoher’a. Harper pays seventy-five cents
a joke, even when they do not publish them,
but I don’t think that Beecher had any sent to
him. That was not bad, however, that story
about St. Paul being an insignificant blear-eyed
Jew, was it ? I don’t want to go to sleep over a
sermon. I like to hear those those old prophets
and martyrs analyzed and pitched into if de
serve it, although I don’t go so far as George
Francis Train, who says that the Old Testament
is the Police Gazette of Jerusalem.”
And these are the folks that set themselves
up as models for Southern imitation in religion,
as well as morals, manners, and politics. We
beg to decline with thanks. The road is wide
enongh and the speed sufficiently swift as it is,
without jumping on the lightning express and
broad guage they patronize.
