MACON, MARCH 28, 1871.
Grand Ku-Klni Bally.
On Thursday a grand canons was held in the
President’s office in the Capitol, at which the
President, some of his Cabinet and certain Sen
ators and Representatives were present, and a
grand rally of the party was determined upon
to push through some kind of Kn-Klnx legisla
tion before adjournment. In pursuance of this
policy the President addressed a special appeal
to Congress, which was printed yesterday, and
the noon dispatches in this edition are confident
that the result will be the prolongation of the
session a month and the passage of some kind
of a Ku-KIux bilL As every member of the
caucus is an ultra Radical, we hope, in spite of
this extraordinary effort of the Excutive to con
trol legislation, if any bill is carried through
the House, it will not, at least, be one of the
extreme revolutionary character contemplated
by the men of that stripe. But even if it is, it
will only precipitate tho political revolution now
going on in the country. That revolution is
founded on tho undisguised assaults of the Rad
ical party on the rights of the States and the
public liberties, and a persistent aggravation of
these assaults will only still further inflame the
public indignation. Let the South be quiet—
discourage all excesses—frown down all lawless
ness—stand fast by the Democracy and hope
for brighter days. As for adjournment, the
longer Congress sits the more inveterate will
be the discord among the Radicals.
The Southern Farm and Home.
The April number of this excellent periodical
fally sustains its high reputation in the front
rank of the agricultural press. In the ability,
practical instructiveness, variety, and adapta
tion to our wants of its articles on agriculture
and domestic economy—in the number of its il
lustrations and in typographical execution the
Farm and Home has no superior on this conti
nent. We heartily commend it to the public
and bespeak for it the large patronage and sup
port which it richly deserves. The enterprising
publishers, J. W. Burke & Co., have made ar
rangements to commence tho publication in the
May number, to be continued in subsequent is
sues, of an admirable romance by Mary Faith
Floyd, entitled “The Nereid,” the scene of
which is principally laid in Georgia, and which
we are informed, possesses a very high order of
merit. The following are the contents of the
April number:
Frontispiece, an elegant, large-size engraving
of fancy poultry; Farm Work for the Month,
by the Editor; Letter from John Plowhandles,
the Agricultural Convention; The Cotton Seed
Question, by E. M. Pendleton; Tho Value of
Gypsum; Catching Moles; Encouragement to
Young Men, by the Editor; Letter from a
Plain Farmer; The McCartney Rose; Timely
Advice; Clover in Middle Georgia; The Poul-
•4ry Yard, by the Editor; The Vegetable Gar

the Editor; Tho Orchard, by the Editor; bulbs,
by tho late William N. White; Essay on Wool
Growing at the South, by C. W. Howard; Es-'
< say on Irrigation, by C. W. Howard; Essay on
the Management of Servants, by Elzey Hay;

The Joint High Commission.—The Washing
ton Patriot says the High Commission is pro
gressing with tho fisheries, and working hard,
by day and by night, in shaping tho other ques
tions of difference. This is particularly true of
the British side. Tho British commissioners
keep their whole force actively employed, and
the daily bill for telegraphing by the cable
would of itself make up a considerable item, if
allowed to come in under the liberal provisions
of the Thornton-Fish correspondence. They
• know in London beforo going to bed all the de
tails of the day, so that Lord Granville can oil
a tight joint or loosen a spring whenever there
is tho least bitch in any part of the preconcerted
•^programme, which our amiable commissioners
suppose they are arranging in their own way.
Costly Fun.—Fifteen negroes who were re.
cently tried in Franklin county, North Carolina,
for burning the barns of some farmers who were
wicked enough to be white men and Democrats,
caught it hot. The jury was composed of five
Democrats, four negroes and three scallawags,
and the ringleader wa3 sent to the penitentiary
for twenty years—the others for various terms
of imprisonment. These negroes had been ad
vised by white Radicals to pursue this policy in
order to revenge fancied injuries, and now will
have a fine opportunity of testifying to tho
truth of the old saying that “white folks—of
that sort—are berry onsartin.”
Danporth's Sanative Dentitbice.—A new
supply of this article having been received at
Dr. P. H. Wright’s drug store, orders can now
bo promptly filled. We repeat that this is the
best and most agreeable detergent for the teeth
and gums we have ever seen. It has been of
great benefit to us, and a lady blessed with fine
teeth, the loss of which she is threatened by a
disease of th6 gums, says she experienced great
bonefit from it. Children will be readily per
suaded to clean their teeth with this Dentifrice,
as it is pleasant to the taste.
A Connecticut farmer, wishing to try the ex
periment of raising cotton, instead of the time-
honored wooden nutmeg, wrote to Mr. Greeley
for some advice, and received it. Horace told
him he hadn’t better go into it too extensively
until he found whether he could raise it, and
advised him to first get a yard of unbleached
cotton and cut tho eyes out and plant the eyes,
the same as potatoes. The farmer did as di
rected, and is Bitting up nights to see his cot
ton come up.—N. Y. Democrat.*
The Ndtwich (Conn.) Bulletin tells a pathetic
story about a pigeon which became fastened, by
a long string hanging from its leg, to' a tele
graph wire on Maine street, in that city. Two
or three cruel boys wanted to throw stones at it,
but a kind gentleman, telling them not to hurt
•tho poor bird, got a ladder, carefully unwound
the string, and put the frightened, fluttering
little creature tenderly into his bosom while he
-descended. The next evening ho remarked
that it made a much nicer pie than ho expected.

Washington.
If there is any one place on this continent
where Sambo is supposed to have all hid rights
secured, and to be, not a Utile, but a great deal
better than the white trash, that place is Wash
ington city. In that Arcadia he is supposed to
be, and in many respects is, the ourled darling
of tho government and entitled to the best that
Uncle Sam has, without money and without
price, except voting tho Radical ticket as often
as possible on election days. He lolls on tho
cushioned benches of the Houso and Senate gal
lories in all the pride and strength of his favor
ed race—he fills the corridors and halls of tho
Capitol, storing at and elbowing those poor un
fortunates who happen to be white, and is
toadied by tho cunning tribe of scallawags and
developers, and has all his ways made straight,
and aU his paths those of peace—he rides in the
street cars and has the exquisite pleasure of
making white women stand while he sits. In
short, outside the wilds of ffis native country
where ho pays no tailor’s bills, and revels in the
triple beatitudes of nakedness, idleness and can-
ibalism, there is no spot on tho globa where
Sambo is set down as being more the cock of
walk than the National Capitol.
But it seems that there are some things that
even 7ie cannot do there—somo barriers even ho
cannot break down. There is yet, notwith
standing all tho efforts to crush it, son}o objec
tion to Sambo as a social equal among some
stiff-necked folks there, and worst of all, Radi
cal Judges and juries wink at it, too. Tho latest
instance of this lack of taste and true loilty is
told in a police report of a case recently tried,
in whioh Julias Williams, an elegant gentleman
of bibulous propensities and African descent,
and Messrs. Harvey & Holden, proprietors of a
fashionable restaurant and bar on the comer of
Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue, were
the parties. The elegant Julius, feeling cob
webby as to his loil throat one fine morning,
probably after a night of it over champagne and
canvass-back, walked into the restaurant afore
said and condescended to order a whisky cock
tail—“and be quick about it, too.” But H. &
H. bad only some whisky, the selling price for
which was just $10 a drink, aa they blandly in
formed Julius, and he not having that amount
of stamps about bis clothes to pay for just one
nip, declined to indulge, and straightway hied
him to a loil magistrate, where ho swore out a
warrant against H. & H., charging them with
practically refusing to sell him a drink, and all
on account of his race and color! H. & H.
came to trial, and set up the defence that they
did keep and sell' whisky at that price, and at
the time Jnlins ordered the cocktail they had no
other on hand; whereupon the Judge dismissed
tho case, and Julias had the felicity of paying
tho costs of suit. The latest information from
Washington is, that Julius is tearing his hair
and gnashing his teeth, and that Dr. Butler in
tends to supplement hi? K. E. bill with another
making it penal to sell whisky at $10 a drink—
especially if the thirsty one is of the off color.
Hold Your Horses.
Brother Miller, of the Columbus Sun, is after
us with a sharp stick again about platforms;
but we shall make no fight against anything ho
says, except wherein he intimates that we call
him hard names such as a swaggerer and a scare
crow! Wo solemnly avow that wo never in
tended to call brother Miller by any such names,
and know no gentleman of our acquaintance
less deserving of them. We expressed the opin
ion, indeed, that this business of getting up ul
timatums and flourishing them In the teeth of
National Conventions looks to ns like “ground
less pretension and needless swagger; but that
is by no means calling brother Miller a swag
gerer, though he may favor that policy.
We profess to our friends of the Columbus
Sun that we have not the slightest disposition
to be rude, dictatorial or censorious. Wo want
the great Democratic and Conservative family
of America to gather new inspiration and new
harmony from tho glorious signs of the times—
to discuss all matters of common interest in the
most friendly temper—to come together in 1872
animated alike by tho brightest hopes—the most
generous confidence in each other, and the most
hearty determination to stand shoulder to shoul
der in a gallant, well directed effort to achieve
the common deliverance of the Democracy and
the country. We do not want Georgia to go
into that great National Assembly with any bill
of tests, demands and ultimatums; but to take
common fare, and to abide cheerfully the gen
eral judgment. What will satisfy the Democ
racy of the United States, will satisfy Georgia,
a3 to a platform; and as to tho man, we will
underwrite that any man placed in nomination
and elected by the Democracy of tho country
will never give Georgia or the South cause of
complaint.
The Paris Insurrection.
Later dispatches on Thursday darkened the
prospects of peace in Paris. Tho signs of a
grand and decisive conflict aro increasing. The
Thiers government claim that manifestations of
popular sympathy with them outside of Paris
are overpowering, gpd this is no donbt true.
Inside of tho city, however, tho insurgent force
is increasing, and they aro armed as no Paris
mob was ever armed before. The conflicts
which have occurred seem to havo grown mainly
out of efforts to prevent the Parisians from
flocking to tho insurgent standard. How it will
be when the fratricidal strife begins in earnest,
and the troops of the government sto marched
np to ilia slaughter of their misguided fellow-
citizens? On ono side the insurgents will fight
desperately to escape tho penalty of their crimes
—on the other, we are not so sura that the
morale of the troops will stand the terrible test
whioh iB essential to victory. There is, too, an
apparently fatal lack of promptitude in the
government. The mob has held the govern
ment in defiance now for more than two weeks,
and their attitude, even as it comes to ns through
tho government organs of communication is ex
ceedingly bold and confident. We shall await
the result with great solicitude.
Georgia Contested Election Cases.
The Washington correspondent of the Atlan
ta Constitution writes as follows on the above
subject, under date of March 20th:
Fannin is not here himself to contest the seat
or General DuBose, but has left the job to
Bryant. Bryant has appeared before the Elec
tion Committee with a request that the time for
taking testimony in the case be extended to the
1st of October. Gen. DuBose objected and
the Committee sustained his objection. Bryant
then aaked that the testimony be taken before
the United StateB Commissioner, to which Gen.
DuBose also objected, saying he thought Geor
gia had plenty of officials of her own to perform
the duty. The Commissioner refased to accede
to the request. The time for taking testimony
was extended to the 1st of Joly. Nothing has
been done in the case as yet.
The lime for taking testimony in the case of
Hillyer vs. McIntyre has been extended from
the 13th day of July to the 1st of October next.
The time for taking testimony in the case of
Tift vs. Whitely expires July.1st.
The boys on Long Wharf, New Haven, havo
a novel way of getting molasses into their stom

teeth, swallow the rest After calmly enjoying
the delicious sweetness awhile, they take hold
of the end of tho string and pull it gently out
and repeat the operation.
A box in Detroit has killed sixty-seven of- his

South Carolina Proclaimed X
The misfortunes of our sister State are unex
ampled. To have been trampled below the
dust and into the clay by the Federal Boldiery—
to havo been consigned by Federal legislation
to the ruthless domination of an overwhelming
majority of negroes, stupid, brutal and igno
rant beyond those of any other State—to have
these managed by the most desperate set of
Northern political adventurers in the interests
of mere speculation and plunder—to have seen
every high place in that once honored State be
fouled and disgraced by the crimes and antics
of these wretched creatures—the courts and the
Legislature Saturnalias of barbarity and corrup-
tion—the horrid waste and devastation of a war
of vengeance, supplemented by the exactions
and thefts of white and black knaves who pay
no taxes—and finally the people held down to be
fleeced, insulted and dominated over by a negro
soldiery, backing a negro magistracy; this has
been the fate of the intelligent State of South
Carolina, whose devotion to American freedom
has been written in the blood of her martyrs,
and whose annals teem with the most glowing
illustrations of patriotio valor and heroic con
stancy in the common cause of the American
colonies.
Sorely, if the spirit whioh animated the coun
cils of the American Government were less than
one of inexorable hatred and insatiate ven
geance, the spectacle of South Carolina, as she
now stands, would move them to some relent
ing. They complain of disorders aud Ku-klux 1
We havo heard of boys complain of the cat who
would scratch, aud refuse to stand still and be
flayed alive—of the turtle who would writho
the live coal off his back, and of the wretched
dog who would snap and try to bite while under
tho agonies of slow strangulation. When the
Sonth Carolinians can imitate the American
Indian, and smile and sing under the tortures
of fire and vivisection, we shall expect them to
endure, with calmness, the horrid insolence and
brutality of Scott’s armed black banditti, but
not beforo. If such outrages as are perpetrated
by these knaves and barbarians, backed by the
Federal Government, bad been inflicted upon
Vermont the Green Mountain boys would havo
made a case of the whole posse in a day.
It may be unwise to offer unavailing resist
ance to desperate wrong,—bnt it is in the heart
of man—it is the inspiration of nature, and tho
children of South Carolina havo been schoolod
so long in tho furnace of affliction, that no peo
ple in America would have borne the servile
yoke and galling chain of rampant knavery, op
pression and barbaric insolence as they havo
done.
And now tho President proclaims that thoy
won’t stand still and ba skinned. Ho has infor
mation from Scott to that effect. Well, wo ap
prehend in the case of South Carolina, there can
be but one or two effectual remedies—Either
the white people must be run out of the State,
or, in somo way or other, a govemmont must
be established which will proteot them from in
tolerable outrage and oppression. If the Presi
dent will substitute white troops for Scott’s black
legions, who enter booses to mnrder—shoot
people in churches—plunder teams on the high
way and kill the drivers who refuse to supply
them with whisky, we suppose quiet will be re
stored. Otherwise there will be Ku-klux.
Col. Tift and the Second District.
Wo printed yesterday a circular from Col.
Nelson Tift to the citizens of the Second Con
gressional District, withdrawing from the con
test for the seat to which he was elected in the
House of Representatives by a well ascertained
and undoubted majority of 504 votes. Nobody
acquainted with Colonel Tift need be told that
ho wonld not withdraw from the contest so long
as the remotest chanco of a successful issue re
mained. He is a man of remarkable pluck,
perseverance and energy. He has the persis
tence of a bull dog, and when he lets go, you
may bo sure there’s no use in holding on. But
he has been long enough a member of Congress
and conversant with Radical misdoings to know
what ho had to expect, and is unwilling to waste
his time in fruitless efforts to obtain justice for
himself and his constituents.
By throwing out tho vote of Sumter county
on some pitiful plea of informality in signing
the returns, the certificate was awarded to
Whitely, and Whitely, it seems, was tho man
to take it. At first, it was given out that he
would not avail himself of the usurpation; but
at that time he held a claim to a seat in the
Senate, and when that claim was pronounced
bogus, ho reconsidered bis determination, and
concluded he must havo a seat in Congress, any
how, even at the cost of a clear usurpation
against the people.
But this outrage is only ono of many of tho
same sort. Tho House has seated Radical
claimants from the South with ten thousand
popular majority against them; and as the ver
dict of the people against that impudent and
tyrannical party becomes clearer, sterner and
more overwhelming, so undoubtedly will their
defiance of the popular voice wax more despe
rate. They came in as tho vannted especial
and particular champions of the Will of tho
People. So devoted were they to the Will of
the People, that they did not hesitate to over
ride any and every organic expression of that
Will, in order to carry out a day’s sensation.
But mark the insincerity of these dema
gogues. They never yet gave expression to the
voico of the people where it did not enlarge
their own powers—increase their own emolu
ments and patronage, and tend, in their opin
ion, to strengthen their hold upon power. The
voice of the people enters only one ear of the
Radical party. They will hear nothing against
themselves and their usurpations and tyrannies
till the sound comes like the blast of a tornado,
and admits of no resistance, and that time is
coming. The Radicals may fence and hedge
and fortify as they can, bnt the tide of publio
indignation is slowly and surely gathering head
and volume, and will, in due time, Bweep away
all their feeble defences.
Intbename of the Georgia Democracy we
thank Col. Tift for much good service in Con
gress and in Washington inbehalf of a suffering
and defenceless people. No man could have
done more than ho has done to defend ns in the
courts of our enemies. He has been a fortunate
loader and coadjutor in working out important
results under the most unfavorable circum
stances. He has displayed, at times, remarka
ble tact, self-control, judgment, courage, pa
tience and energy, in combatting threatened
mischief, and he possesses, in a high degree,
the qualities and characteristics of a valuable
representative of the people.
Affairs In Paris.
The morning dispatches do not indicate any
improvement in the Baris situation. The In
surgents appear to be still bold and defiant, and
assume to prosecute and punish'.the enemies of
their authority. Meanwhile the Thiers Govern
ment seem to be trying to weaken the Insurgents
by measures of conciliation. A special to the
World says the disposition to recall Napoleon to
the throne is hourly increasing.
Thbowjno Grant Ovebboabd.—Tho World’s
Washington telegrams, of the 20th, says :
In official circles here, from high to low, there
is a tendency to discus* proprietitr leta relat
ing to the next Presidential nomination by the
Radical party, whioh cannot be dismissed. The
great army of politioiana in office here, nearly
all of whom have somto local celebrity, however
slight, seem to unite in the opinion that they
must throw Grant overboard. The higher grade
of officials, with one or two exceptions, refuse
to bo drawn into tho discussions which have
sprang out of the reoent exhibitions of ram
pant discord in the Radical organization.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The Talbotton Standard has the floor, and

graph better than ever, and oould not think of
doing without it. The weekly is the largest

than double the subscription price. .

Reports from different sections of this coun
ty indicate a larger planting of com this year
than last, and a less cotton crop. Some few
farmers are not disposed to curtail their cotton
crop however, thinking they will fool others

anticipated at the first of the season.

Falling off of Freights on the State Road.
The Atlanta Intelligencer says freights on tho
State Road havo fallen off in amount nearly
one-half during the last ten days. This is, in
somo measure, attributable to the cheap steamer
rates to Montgomery, lately 'established by the
way of Now Orleans, absorbing almost tbo on.

More Diggers for Treasure.—That ghost
to which we alluded a few days since seems to
have directed its mediums to a new field in the
search for entombed treasure. On Wednesday
night, we learn, a considerable excavation was
made, by parties unknown, on tho premises of
Mr. John H. Mann, between Broad and Rey
nolds streets. Tho diggers succeeded in strik
ing only an abandoned brick foundation, so far
as known, as a number of brick were upturned
in their progress, and a brick^wall was visible
where they had been digging.
Mr. Gallaher, an Augusta grocer, was robbed,
last Sunday, of $319 and a lot of goods, by.a

Thursday, and jugged.
We get the following items from the Colum
bus Sun, of Friday:
Guano Sold.—The dealers report that thus
far they have sold 1,060 tons of guano. This
embraces sales at Geneva, points on the river
near here, and some at Eufaula. A correct
estimate cannot be obtained until after the mid
dle of April. A good deal will be disposed of
between now and then. Planters are abont
finishing the planting of corn, and turning
their attention to cotton, on which they uso
most of their fertilizers. The bartering of gu
ano for cotton, deliverable next fall, at figures
above present rates, has caused much more to
bo disposed of than otherwise would have been
the case. One house alone last year sold 1,904
tons, and all of our dealers nearly 4,000.
What Becomes of the Money ?—Since Sept.
1st to the present date, GO,000 bales of cotton
have been sold in Columbus. Tho average
shows abovo it, but say it brought 13o. per
pound. The calculation develops tho fact that
$3,915,795 havo been paid for cotton in this
section. The vast proportion is distributed
within a radius, not exceeding twenty-five miles;
for 34,155 bales of the 68,543 received, came
by wagons, and near stations have forwarded a
good deal by rail. Has four millions of dollars
gone to pay for bacon, com and advances ? If
so, the com crib and smoke house bad better
be moved from beyond tho Ohio river to one’s
own plantation, and borrowing cease. If not,
there must bo money somewhere in the country,
and there’s no use of putting np a poor mouth
at this stage of tho game. If there’s no money
in the country, and all of it has not been ex
pended for com, bacon and advances, and pay
ing merchants, where has it gone to? Some
body ought to have it. Tho figures show the
cotton sold has realized at least four million
dollars.
Patrick Neil, a Savannah fisherman, dropped

There wore two alarms of fire Thursday

Aaron Lamp who has been brightly shining
in the Quitman j ail for somo weeks past, has been
extinguished by an order of release from Bul

On Thursday night the house of ox-Govemor
Brown at Atlanta, was entered and robbed of a

The Brunswiok Appeal of Friday says:
Fishing Excursion.—A party of ladies and
gentlemen, from onr enterprising sister city,
Macon, arrived here on Tuesday night, intent
upon enjoying a maroon on the Islands at the
entrance of onr harbor, and the excellent fish
ing afforded by its waters. The excursionists
left Wednesday afternoon on the steamer Meta,
for Cumberland Island. We feel confident they
will enjoy a most pleasant sojourn by the broad
Atlantic, and deem those of onr citizens who
accompanied the party peculiarly fortunate. A
similar party—embracing, we belieYe,—somo
of the same persons,—visited our city last
spring and returned delighted with Brunswick
and her snrrohndings. Many of our readers
will remember the interesting and amusing ao-
oount of the sayings and doings of the Maroon-
era last year. We hope some kind friend will
“do np" the present excursion for ns.

on the Atlantlo and Gulf Railroad; on last Sat
urday night, by a man named Rufus Carter.
The assassin approached Mr. Zeigler while he
was standing in front of a fire in the open air,
seized Mm by the hair, and with one stroke of a
knife cut his throat, causing almost instant
death. Carter then made his escape, and at last
accounts bad not been arrested. The murdered
man was the youngest son of William Zeigler,
of Valdosta, and was a very promising and pop
ular young man.” ,
The Atlanta Ioe Company will get a charter
next month, and as two-thirds of the stock has
already been subscribed, there is every prospect
that the sity will be supplied with ice from that
source next summer.
Gilbert M. Anderson, sentenced‘to the peni
tentiary for life, from Columbus, for murder,
left for Milledgeville last Saturday. He is over
sixty years of age.
The dwelling house of Mr. M. Boaenfield, one
of the Thomasvtlla Aldermen, was entered and
robbed of $500, in money and jewelry, last
Monday night.
The Columbus Enquirer, of Thursday, tells
this story:
A Considerate Corporation.—A few even
ings ago, one of the Green Line freight boxes,
laden with burial cases, wbisky and bacon, was
thrown from the track of the Western Road, a
few miles from the oily. While the freight was
delayed in consequenoe of the accident, the
passenger train came along, having on board a
couple of noted “hunhsts’ Y of this place. One
of them, a German, after taking a bird’s eye
yiew of the disaster, and catcMng a glimpse of
the wrecked car, quietly seated himself upon a
barrel and unbosomed himself thusly to his
companion: “George, I b’iieves I walks home;
dis train goes too well ‘heeled’ for me; dey’s
got coffins for dem vats kilt in accidents, whis
ky for de wounded, and bacon for do living; so
I b’iieves I walks home.” It is said that while
delivering himself he looked as solemn as
judge, and that the dilating eyes of his fellow
passengers clearly indicated no little amount of
oonstemation. He was finally persuaded to risk
the chances on the train, and reached home in
safety.
The Dawson Journal says:
Horrid Affair.—On last Sunday a little girl
came to the well of Mr. John Moreland, of this,
Terrell county, and carried off to a skirt of
woods hard by some water in a shoe. She was
followed by some member of Mr. Moreland’s
family, who found the mother of the little girl,
Mrs. Barbary Ann Massay, prostrate on the
ground, and suffering with pneumonia. She
was carried to the house of this good Samari
tan, Mr. John Moreland, and the services of
Dr. Cheatham were secured, and all done that
conld be to alleviate the suffering and preserve
the life of this unfortunate woman, but of no
avail; she died Monday night. She reported
having three brothers in Sampler county, John,
Ely and Thos. Grimes. The little girl says
they live near Mr. Shep Green. We oould learn
but little of the life and character of this wo
man, but enough to imagine she was destitute
of those principles that make woman what she
should be.
Mrs. Wm. K. Root, of Marietta, died very

Marietta.
The Rome Courier of Wednesday says:
The Fire Yesterday Morning.—A destruc
tive fire occurred in our city yesterday morning.
At about 4:30 a. m., tho store-house of Stephen
Noble, on Court street, was discovered to be
on fire. The alarm was immediately given,
but the flames bad already mado such headway
that no hope of saving the building or even
goods, was entertained. So rapid, indeed, was
the progress of the flames, that the dwelling
house of Mr. George Noble on the one side,
and the steam flouring mill of Wadsworth,
Whitely & Williams on the other, was soon on
fire, and despite the efforts of tho fire compa
nies, they, too, were soon beyond the hope of
saving. Tho most of tho furnituro was moved
from Mr. Noble’s house, and a considerable
quantity of flour and grain from the mills, but,
notwithstanding this, the loss upon all parties
will fall heavily. The fire compaties succeeded
in arresting the fire at these buildings, although
the adjacent mill, of Stewait & Austin, the
foundry and rolling mill, and the warehouse of
Captain Vandivere were in immense danger,
and but for the exertions of the firemen, would
havo been destroyed.
We cannot definitely estimate the loss, but it
is heavy. There was no insurance npon the
mill. Loss about $10,000. No insurance npon
tho store. Tho stock was insured for $3,000.
There was also an insurance of $700 upon the
residence of Mr. George Noble, and the furni
ture was insured for $300. Our friends have
our sincere sympathy.

JEXKIMSM PROFANED.
Typographical Blunder tUd for
Mrs. Simpson.
The New York correspondent of the Cincin
nati Times, writes:
A few evenings since a reception was given
at the house of a well-known merchant in Lex
ington Avenue, and as a natural result one of
tho so-called society weeklies undertook to
chronicle, in the millinery and mantua-maker
style, the “distinguished” persons who were
present. Among others was Mrs. Wm. Simp
son, who was described as unusually charming
with orange-blossoms in her hair, decollete
dress and long trail.
When the account appeared it read in this
wise: “Mr. Wm. Simpton appeared unusually
charming with an orange-box on his head, a
discolored eye, and in bis sMrt-tail.”
Now, there is sometMng about such a cos
tume that does not savor of good society; and
it was difficult to make anybody believe that
whatever Mr. Simpson’s vagaries, he would
have seen fit to attend an evening party with
an orange-box on hisjhead and' nothing bnt a
shirt on Ms back.
As may be supposed Simpson was angry and
hostile, and called at the office of tho paper to
kno.w what suoh a shameful description meant.
The editor explained that it was a typographical
error, whereupon Simpson suggested the pro
priety of hanging the printer who made it in
front of the office as a warning to all careless
compositors.
The printer was discharged, of course, but
with the love of humor characteristic of the
craft, I am sure he would not have foregone the
pleasure of perpetrating such a joke for a doz
en situations.

Grant and South Carolina.—The Tribune
reports .the interview between certain South
Carolina worthies and Grant last Tuesday, about
sending troops to that State:
The President said that he thought that there
is more disorder now in South Carolina than in
any other Southern State, but that he will use
all the power delegated to him ; and he hinted
that be thought that ho had enough to support
Gov. Scott, and assist Mm in protecting the
peaceable citizens of that State. “If twd regi
ments will not do it,” he remarked, “ten shall
be sent there, and kept there, too, if necessary,
as long as this Administration is in power.” He
added that if a Democratic President is elected
in 1872, one of Ms first acts will be to withdraw
the troops, and Gen. Grant said that he would
advise Republicans to follow the troops out of
the State.
Grant is evidently troubled with the vision of
a “Democratic President elected in 18Z2,” and
we will venture to say if he sees it in good ear
nest, he will also see that the troops will go
out—the negroes will behave themselves—Soott.
will stop his rascality, and there will be no more
disorder.
" LEE AFTER GETTYSBURG.
“A Scene that a Historical Painter Might
Well Immortalize.
Ckn. J. D. Imboden in the Galaxy.] •
When night closed upon the grand scene, our
army was repulsed. Silence and gloom pervaded
our camps. We knew that the day had gone
against us, but the extent of the disaster was
not known except in high quarters. The car
nage of the day was reported to have been fright
ful, but our army was not in retreat, and we all
surmised that with to-morrow’s dawn wonld
come a renewal of the struggle; and we knew
that if such was the case those who had not been
in the fight would have their full share in the
honors and the dangers of the next day. All felt
and appreciated the momen tous consequences of
final defeat or victory on that great field. These
considerations made that, to us, one of those
solemn and awful nights that every one who
fought through our long war, sometimes expe
rienced before a great battle.
Few camp-fires enlivened the scene. It was
a warm summer’s night, and the weary soldiers
were lytag in groups on the luxuriant grass of
the meadows we occupied, discussing the events
of the day, or watching that their horses did not
Btraggle off in browsing around. About eleven
o’clock a horseman approached and delivered a
message from Gen. Lee, that ha wished to see
me immediately, I mounted at once, and, accom
panied by Lieut. McPhail, of my staff, and
guided by the courier, rode about two miles
toward Gettysburg, where half a dozen small
tents on the roadside were pointed out as Gen.
Lee’s headquarters for the night. He was not
there, but I was informed that I would find him
with Gen. A. P. Hill, half a mile farther on.
On reaohing the place indicated, a flickering,
solitary candle, visible through the open front
of a common tent, showed where Generals Lee
and Hill were seated on carqp-stools, with a
county map spread npon their knees, and en
gaged in a low and earnest conversation. They
cased speaking as I approached, and, after the
ordinary salutations, Gen. Lee directed me to
go to his headquarters and wait for Mm. He
did not return until about one o’cloolL when he
came riding alone at a slow walk, anAvidently
wrapped in profound thought.
There was net even a sentinel on duty, and
no one of Ms staff was about. The moon was
high in the heavens, shedding a flood of soft
silvery light, almost as. bright as day npon the
scene. When he approached and saw us, he
spoke, reined up his horse and essayed to dis
mount. The effort to do so displayed so much
physical exhaustion that I stepped forward to
assist Mm, bnt before I reached Mm he had
alighted. He threw Ms am across his saddle
to rest himself, and, fixing his eyes upon the
ground, leaned in silence upon his equally weary
horse, the two forming a striking group, as
motionless as a statue. The moon shone full
upon Ms massive features, and revealed an ex
pression of sadness I had never seen npon that
fine countenance before, in any of the vicissi
tudes of- the war through wMch he had passed.
I waited for him to speak until the silence be
came painful and embarrassing, when, to break
it and change the current of his thoughts, I
remarked in a sympathetic tone, and in allusion
to Ms great fatigue :
‘/General, this has been a hard day on you.”
TMs attracted his attention. He looked up
and replied mournfully.
“Yes, it has been a sad, sad day to ns,” and
immediately relapsed into his thoughtful mood
aud attitude. ' Being unwilling again to intrude
npon Ms reflections, I said no more. * After a
minute or two ho suddenly straightened np to
Ms full height, and, tumingnpon me with more
animation, energy and excitement of manner
than I had ever seen inMmbefore, be addressed
me in a voice tremulous with emotion, and
said:
“General, I never saw troops behave more
magnificently than Pickett’s Division of Vir
ginians did to-day in their grand charge upon
the enemy. And if they had been supported,
as they were to havo been—but, for some rea-
son not yet fully explained to mo, thoy were
not—we would have held the position they so
gloriously won at such a fearful loss of noble
lives, and tho day would havo been onr3.”
After a moment he added in a tone almost of
agony:
“Too bad! Too bad! Oh, too bad!”
I never shall forget as long as I live hi3 lan
guage, and his manner, and his appearance and
expression of mental suffering. Altogether ft
was a scene that a historical painter might well
immortalize had one been fortunately present
to witness it.
In a little wMle he called np a servant from
his sleep to take hi3 horse; spoke mournfully
by name of several of his friends who had
fallen daring the day, and when a candle had
been lighted invited me alone into Ms tent,
where, as soon as we were seated, he remaked:
“We must rotum to Virginia. As many of
our pocr wounded as possible must be taken
home. I have sent for you, because your men
are fresh, to guard the trainsbaok to Virginia.”
A Picture of H. Tillers.
A correspondent of the Boston Jonrnal, writ
ing from Bordeaux under date of February 19,
describes the appearance of H. Thiers:
The old gentleman, seventy-two, but gray and
wrinkled to a wondrous degree, occupies a
small, obscure apartment, famished with a camp
bed, as Ms sleeping-room. He has slept on one
of these hard and narrow couches for the last
forty years. In habit he is probably one of the
most methodical men alive. Although he rare
ly retires before midnight, he invariably rises
at five a. m., and his valet brings him a enp of
coffee. He then throws Mmself pell mell into
Ms work, and rarely stops before nine. All Ms
important private business is considered and
prepared before most other people are up. From
nine to noon he usually sees company, and at
noon he takes a very light breakfast. He
always dines at eight o’clock, wherever he may
be, and uses wine only once a day. It is no
exaggeration to say that for forty years h6 has
not varied from Ms routine. He is so aotive
and energetic, even to-day, that Ms secretaries
find but little to do. He prefers writing Ms own
letters to dictating them, and on tho morning
of yesterday he wrote tMrty.five before break
fast. He gives most of Ms important messages
verbally, and keeps five or six confidential per
sonages constantly engaged in delivering them.
There does not exist a more admirably preserved
old gentleman. He is quaint and odd to a degree,
however, .and seems to be most intensely an
noyed by any attention from tho herd. ’ The
look of impatience and distress that comes over
his face when he is compelled to march between
two lines of gapers is indescribable.
An Instructive Scene.—As Senator Sumner
was emerging from the capitor the other morn
ing he was confronted by an aged Fifteenth
Amendment, who, hat is hand and bowing and
soraping, remarked:
“I believe dis Massa Sumner?
“No 1 sir—there are no masters in this land,
I am Senator.”
This nearly squelched the old darky, but ho
rallied with the remark—“Your’s done heap for
de cullud race.”
“I am proud to hear yon say so,” responded
themagnificent Charles.
“De niggers all speak of you in the highest
elevation.” *
Sumner bowed and smiled Ms acknowledge
ments.
“Wbat I was coming at Boss, dat de winter’s
bard and de times pretty rough to de old wo
man and L if you oould spare de old darky half
a dollar.”
Sumner stopped no further bnt with a majes
tic wave of disapproval from the Senatorial hand,
he moved on while the venerable colored broth
er muttered sometMng about “don’t appear to
keer much for de niggers oept to vote and git
der names up.” Just then the Hon. Sam. Cox
came along and gave the poor old darky a dol
lar. Cox is a copperhead.
A Story'of the Shall Fox Epidemic in Nrw
York.—A few days since a gentleman of very
considerable wealth, returned from a northern
trip, bringing with Mm a youthful and beautiful
bride he had just espoused. Leaving her in the
city, he hastened to Ms country seat to superin
tend the putting of it in order for her reception.
Ho was absent but a day or two, yet, during
that time, the young wife was stricken with the
prevailing disease, and, despite the fact that
ample medical attendance, nurses, etc., could
have been procured, she was harried off to the
peat house. The husband returned, and learn
ing the fatal news, he at once went to his place
by the bedside of her whom he bad so recently
sworn to love and protect He was denied ad
mittance even for an instant, and in forty-eight
hours she was dead and buried in the potter’s
field. The sheet upon wMch the victim died,
half a gallon of carbolio acid, a pine board
coffin, and a head pieoe of the same material,
with Mrs. painted npon it, were the funeral
paraphernalia—these, and nothing more.

"Washington, March 13. I
The history of the differences between Sea-1
tor Sumner and Secretary Fish, which fciltts I
the subject of much speculation, is gives tj I
Mr. Sumner to Ms friends in substance as & I
lows: When Mr. Fish was appointed Secrakl I
of State, relying npon an old acquaintance we-1
mencing in 1851, when Fish entered the Senate, I
ha called upon the Senator from MassachasS I
almost daily in person, or by letter, for mb I

it often happened that Mr. Sumner snggesx I

Sumner did not take offence at this oner *
bribe, but treated it as a blunder of
