Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, JUNE 13, 1871. Tempora Blutautnr, etc. The presence of the Hon. Benjamin H. Hill at the banquet, or reception, or whatever is the fashionable term for the social entertainment given certain notorious Northern Radical lead ers by Governor Bullock a few nights since at Atlanta, is about the most striking illustration of the truth of this expression that has ever fallen under our notice. Time was when Mr. Hill, iu' his fiery zeal against gentlemen of the Delano-Cameron- Bullock persuasion even adjured the wives of those who should dare to agree with those men, politically, to sunder even the matrimonial tie, and leave them to the blistering scom and con tempt of their fellows. If we have not quoted Mr. Hill correctly, we beg his pardon, but thi3 is our recollection of his position. Certainly there was no language too scathing, no denun ciation too severe, no invective too bitter for Mr. Hill to express his hearty hate and scom for men of the Cametonian politics, and for those who dared to offer them any mark of social consideration. They were thieves, robbers, out casts, contact with whom was pollution to do- csnt men and women. If there was anything bitter and unsparing in condemnation that Mr. •mil omitted to say we have never heard of it. Especially did Mr. Hill emphasize his policy of social and personal ostracism as a punishment for political sin. This, if our memory serves ns at all correctly, was Mr. Hill’s specialty, if one may so phrase it. Other men equaled him in the vigor of their condemnation of Kadieal reconstruction and reconstructionisls as a policy and as politicians, but none approached within gun shot of that proud eminence of personal and social antagonism upon which he stood. It was Mr. Hill’s right to so feel and so speak in 1867-68, and it is Mr. Hare still more un doubted right to acknowledge a change of heart, now. It is none of our business with whom Mr. TTfii eats, or drinks, or clasps hands in Governor Bullock’s parlors, or elsewhere. We trust he will not consider thi3 article as intending any suoh impertinence. Wo only mean just what we said above: That he has deigned to famish ns the most startling verification that men change, and times with them, that we have ever known. If so disposed, we might educe another lesson from the illustration, but we shall not. If we added another word to what is already written we shonld simply say that history teach, es no truer lesson than that let extremes touchent —that re-action from one violence swings the pendulum too far the other ride of that safe medium where, at last, is not only the greatest strength but the least nerve and brain wear. There are very few words in denunciation of «he same; measures and the same men that so stinedMr. Hill’s pen and tongue in the years above named, that 'the writer of this article re grets or would now modify; "but every day doth write in deeper .characters upon his judgment the conviction that though they were truthfully said it might have been wiser to temper their heat and cool their rage. Perhaps the jjhlf that now intervenes between the people of this land and that peace and accord so much needed might not new be so deep and wide bad fewer bitter words been spoken on both sides. If the thing were to do over again we know we shonld speak our share as before, but judgment and feeling wonld not, we fear, be so heartily in agreement again. What a pity it-is that a man ever lives long enough to feel that there has been such a divorce—and that it is absolute 1 Floaters, Sow Peas. Every indication points to a short crop of cotton the present year. Should the extraordi nary wet spell of the past few weeks, be suc ceeded by protracted drought, as may reasona bly be anticipated, the yield of corn also must be greatly abridged. Experience has shown that when a plant becomes habituated to redun dant moisture, and is fall of sap, and luxuriant in grownth unless fed by repeated showers until maturity, any reverse of seasons is well nigh fatal to it With this prospect before them, true wisdom dictates that steps shonld be taken in time,, to supplement any lack of provisions which may arise. No esculent is as available for this pur pose as the pea crop. We are aware that as a field crop planted with com, the yield of this valuable grain is very uncertain. If planted on old land too soon, rust and blight almost inevitably follow, and in any case, the cultivation is too imperfect to as sure satisfactory results. Again, the vine over runs the stalksof corn, rendering the gathering much more difficult, and the good old time alas, no longer exists, when the hogs of the farmer effectually gleaned his fields. All crops do best when cultivated alone, and from actual experience the writeris well assnred that one-fonrth of the area of land sowed usu ally in peas, if carefully broken and planted in drills from the first to the middle of Jnly, will prove to be far more remunerative. As thiB crop draws largely upon the atmos phere for nutriment, even the poorest soil will produce abundantly, and a single plowing and hoetag, is all that is necessary. The rows should be 2} to 3 feet apart, and the object in planting late, is to have tho plant commence to bear be fore It runs to vine and bush. Only tho early varieties will frait before the cool nights in September, and if sown very early, they will rust or cast their leaves before that period. It is a great waste to thresh out peas in the field and throw away tho hull. They should be gathered bright and sound, and carefully housed from the weather. No article of food is more nutritious for horses ana mules, and fed in the hull, they servo the double purpose of grain and long forage. Care should be taken, however, to moisten them well before feeding, to avoid choking the animals, it is curious that they never ohoke after the first mouthful, which is owing to the Increased aotion of the salivary glands. The writer ha3 worked his mules for twelves months consecutively upon peas thas prepared, without one grain of corn, and kept them fat and sleek and in the finest condition daring tho whole period. It is a matter worth considering. Does it Fay to be Sick? The Medical and Surgical Reporter estimates the cost, to the people of the United States, of medical services and medicine, at $100,000,000, and adds $25,000,000 for tho quack medicines swallowed. “Bat the people,” it says, “study these fignr<33 awhile, and then reflect that prob ably one-half, or certainly a large fraction, of this expense, is incurred by a deliberate infrac tion of the laws of health; that, if they tippled less, smoked less, overworked less, were less fast and less self, indulgent, they would save some thirty or forty millions a yoar.” This is honest End truthful advico, consider ing the source from which it emanated, but does not go far enough. It is safe to assume that seven-eights of the'nauseous pills and purges swallowed by a credulous and ignorant public, are not only nsoless but deleterious to the human constitution. Yet how common it is to hear invalids com plain that tho doctor does nothing for them, when the Sangrado phebotomy treatment, or tho horse drenches of ignorant empirics, would cause (hem to “shuffle off this mortal coil” in a trice. We confess to a love for homeopathy and the bread pill management of disease, because at best neither can do any harm, and they pormit the grand annealer, Nature, toperform her office unmolested. Still, we do not join in tho fashionable hue and cry against physicians, and vote them ex tortioners and vampires upon the body politic. This will do very well when the blood courses joyously through the veins, and tho glow and vigor of health renders ns oblivions to tne aches and melancholy ino^nt to tho sick chamber. But when pain and misery puts out of tunc that “harp of a thousandstrings,” the human organ ization, how wistfully wo arq prone to watch and listen for the wheels of the son of Esculapius who comes to the rescue! Hear, then, the conclusion of the whole mat ter: Live temperately and virtuously, pay your debts, support the Gospel, avoid medicine, and subscribe and pay for The Telegbath ahd Mes- 8ekgeb, and all will be well with yon. THE GEORGIA PRESS. We extract the following from the Columbus Enquirer, of Wednesday ; Cnons ih Babboub.—A subscriber, writing to us from Cowikee, Ala., giveB ns the following information concerning the growing cotton in the rich region in which he lives. Accounts from most of the important cotton-growing dis tricts east of the Mississippi make similar re ports: “Daring the last four months we have had more rain than I ever knew in the same length of time. Consequently, in this seotion, crops are nearly lost in grass, especially oottoD, and the stand of cotton is very defective on the driest lands, and on bottom lands (which are the best) a great deal of it is drowned. I am living in a neighborhood that is known to pos sess a3 fine cotton lands as there are in South east Alabama, but notwithstanding this, it is my opinion, if the seasons should bo favorable to fanners, that there cannot be made in this sec- (Ion moro otaf a «wp plfcbon* year. If all other sections of the ootton States have had as much rain as we have had here, the crop will be quite limited this year. Cobh Prospects oh the M. & G. R. K.—From conductors and engineers we loam that much of tho low lands on the road are inundated. The Conecuh river near Troy was yesterdaymoming nearly a mile wide. Mach of the cotton is com pletely overrun with weeds and grass, not hav ing yet been chopped out. Com, despite the floods, looks well. Altogether the prospect looks rather discouraging. Muscogee Superior Court is now in session. All cases of debt where affidavit'that taxes had been paid was not made were struck from the docket. Many old cases were dismissed—some which had been commenced prior to 1810. The Son says: "Wxhhtoh Ebopeexx at Auction.-—Yesterday at 12 m., Wm. H. Chambers, executor, sold the residence In Wynnton belonging to the estate of Colonel Job. M. Chambers, deceased. The house is a taro-story wooden one with nine rooms, with sixty acres land attached, and out-houses com plete. The place is well improved. It is located :n Wynnton, some two miles from Colnmhns. D. P. Ellis was auctioneer. The property was knocked down to D. F. Wjllcox, for $5,850. All residences outside the city have greatly de preciated in value. We understand a place in Wynnton, on which is a good two-story house, surrounded by a good deal of land, has been offered for a year, without finding a purchaser, for $1,000. The house must have cost that amount when if was built, sixteen years ago. On the contrary, we find city property appre ciating in value, especially smaller houses. People find living in neighboring'villages and supporting vehicles far more expensive than residing in Columbus whore they are convenient to their business. Mb. Chase and the “New Departure."—The Washington correspondent of. the Baltimore Gazette, under date of June 5th, writes a3 fol lows: Chief Justice Chase will leave hero to-morrow evening. He is not determined where he will go, whether to Rhode Island, to bis daughter's residence, to Saratoga, or some other of the interior places fot summer retreat. His health is not muoh improved by his sojourn in Wash ington, and he hop*3 to_ obtain recuperation by his summer trip. He approves the platform recently adopted by the Conventions in South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio, except the financial feature of the Ohio platform, which, he thinks, might well have been omitted, first, becanse it was unnecessary to provoke dis cussion on that subject; and second, because it creates a misapprehension as to the relative in terests of capital and labor. He is rejoiced at this new departure of the Demooracy, because x * C0 Buizes the equal rights of au men, of co -° ror condition in life, and he Hgkatottod th* great Democratic pity pro nouncing itself unequivocally on suffrage and Reneral amnesty, end he says if he shall be in Ohio whejr tho fall election takes place, he will vote for Gen. McCook It is proposed to establish a new bank in Co- lnmljps to be called the “Merchants’ and Me chanics’ Savings Bank, ’ with a capital of $200,- CoL T. S. Nickerson, proprietor of the Scre ven House, Savannah, died very suddenly, last Tuesday, at Milwaukie, Wisconsin. Ho was a native of Massachusetts, but for many yearn a citizen of tho South, and well and widely known in connection with the hotel business in South Carolina and Georgia. The monthly sales at Augusta, on Tuesday, were dull—little property offering and. fewer bidders. Seventeen shares of Georgia Rail road stock sold at $105 871' a share. The sales at Savannah were rather spiritless owing to lack of bidders. Southwestern Rail road stock sold at from $93 50 to $96 a share— tho.latter ex-dividend. Ten shares Central Railroad stock—ex-dividend—sold for $123 a share. Horses and moles brought from $100 to $150, each. Red Head Harris, of the Savannah News, boasts that ho i3 a great traveler, but there’s one place he don’t dare go—and that’s the pow der magazine at Savannah. They do say he gives Brunswick a wide berth, too. The Atlanta Fire Department cost the city about $0,500 last year. This year it will slight ly exceed that amount. The Grand Jary of the United States Dis trict Court at Atlanta, were discharged Wednes day. About SO true bills were found this term. The lawyers of Rome have just signed the following pledge: Rome, Ga., Junes, 1871. Recognizing the importance of kind, friendly, a*d courteous relations among the members of our Jp*pfesaion, high and honorable as it is and ought to w» t as well as the Christian duty of cul tivating peace. and good will among all men: We, themembw^of the Rome Bar, exercis es that noble virtue, ®#rgiveness, with a view to a state of better feeling. moro perfert harmony, agree to bury whale*** has been un pleasant in the past, and heren* withdraw everything that has been said or done hy any of ns that may have wounded the feeling 0 f, or been distasteful to any other, with a deter mination to promote in future the highest courtesies and most kindly relations among our selves and in the community. “Behold how good and how pleasant It is for brothrento dwell together in unity.” We are glad to loam there is one section of the State which has not had too much rain. The Elberton Gazette of Wednesday says: Splendid rain3 have fallen within tho last few days, which were beginning to bo very much needed. We clip the following from tho Hawkinsvillo Dispatch: - Heave Rain.—Mr. Green W. Bateman, now in hl3 fifty-ninth year, assures us that during his entire life he does not remember to have seen as heavy rain as that whioh fell in his neighborhood on last Sunday evening. Rath ahd Alligators.—Mr. Wm. H. Hendley informs us that tho whole face of the earth is about to be washed away, in his neighborhood. Every sink throughout his plantation is filled with water. Bottoms, which he cultivated las* year are now submerged and inhabited by alli gators. A few evenings ago he killed one three feet long, while making its way from one basin to another, Hq gives gloomy accounts of the cl '-F «, end thinks if the heavy rains continue the crops will bean utter failure—which is very' near the case anyhow. Editorial Correspondence—flfo. 4. From York westward to .Brandon, about hundred miles, civilization is slow—improve ments very moderate—embellishments meagre —principally Hembold’s Bucha—Simmons’ Liv er Regulator, and the like—but no Central City Condition Powers. Why is this? The pine woods are about average Georgia rough pine woods. The swamps and hammocks are ahead of us in the magnitude of the timber. The oaks, gums and. magnolias are more towering and gigantic. The agriculture to be seen from the road is scarcely worth mention. We tied up Saturday night at Hickory, twenty miles west of Meridian. Meridian is a strag gling collection of wooden houses, with .a few of brick, which shelter, maybe, 2,000 people. Hickory is so-called because it is on.Jackson’s line of homeward march after the victory of New Orleans. It is the emporium of a small neighborhood trade—has five or six stores and a stock of cotton on hand amounting to four bales. On the platform containing these resid uary deposits, we sat and discussed matters and things in general till ten o’elock, and then took to onr berths. Mr. Wadley tells mo he has contracted for steam traction road engine, which will be em ployed in hauling logs at his brother’s saw mill, in Emanuel county. The cost of the machine will be $5,000. It is perfectly manageable- traverses rough roads and even plowed grounds without difficulty, and Trill drag after it a gang of plows which trill pulverize tho soil to almost any desired depth in laud free from stumps. In dragging oarry-logs he expects it to do the work of many mules or oxen on far less expensive fuel. Should experiment jnstify-it, he will put one of these machines on the road from Geneva to Talbotton, and carry the Meriwether Springs travel. He thinks they can be used with econ omy on our dirt roads and will be found useful in hauling ootton to. points on the railways. Forrest, on tire Vicksburg and Meridian Road, is a lively little village station, with perhaps fonr or five hundred inhabitants, and appropriately suggest that the line of the road was the scene of some of the most stirring exploits of that great cavalry officer. One very vexations and expensive peculiarity of the soilon a large portion of this road is worthy of notice. The eye detects no difference between it and the ordinary yellowish soil of much of onr Georgia pino land, bnt it has marked and unoommon peculiarity. It is crawling poll—it won’t stay where you put it. On an embankment it is constantly spreading and in an excavation, no matter how shallow and broad, it is constantly filling up. Thus it is that a very large portion of-the whole line, on both sides, is wharf ed with two inch pine plank, braced with six inch timber. These wharfs clear the end of the cross-ties, say a foot, and are ordi narily two to fonr feet high; and bnt for them it would be impossible to keep the rails above ground. The soil does not seem to have a sur face so’much as a subsurface, movement Seems tu suck uS grow Uk» fungus. This un common and unpleasant trick adds to the ex pense of keeping np the- - road-bed and super structure almost the cost of a duplicate set of cross-ties. The wharves are very expensive, and they soon rot down and have to be renewed. Judge King says the same trouble, to a limited extent, may be found on the Nashville and Chattanooga road, bnt it is very rare and very deplorable. In one case it was found impossi ble to keep an excavation open, no matter how much dirt was carried away, and it was there fore tunnelled at an expense of $30,000. At the Brandon station the eonntry changes quite suddenly, and takes a level aq£ fertile de velopment. Then, leaving Jackson, it becomes undulating, but is generally open and fertile thickly peopled, and a good deal of it being well clad in Bermuda «nd supplied with fine shade trees which have been left of the original growth, it is picturesque and beautiful. The road approaches no nearer than a mile of Brandon. Here, long time ago, lived that fierce and gigantic wild-oat, the Brandon Bank, and here probably flourished Belle Brandon of the song. At Brandon, a delegation of the Vicks- burghers met the party. It embraced Colonel McArdle and Mr. Shearer, of the Vicksburg Herald; Dr. Emanuel, President of the Vicks burg and Meridian Railroad; CoL Ra worth, Su perintendent ; Mr. Geo. Lawrence, Director; Major A. M. Paxton, and Messrs. Blakemore, McCutchen, Richardson, Hobart and Back. A terrible rain set in at Brandon. Daylight almost disappeared with it. Passing Jackson, we could not see the town for it. It has been raining here off and on for sixty days, and the country is wet as Jonah. The showers have im mortalized themselves. Daring one of eighteen hours at Holly Springs, C.7 inches fell. Major McArdle tells me the Mississippi Dem ocratic editors are going to recommend the party to take no other action in the National Demo cratic Convention than simple ratification of its proceedings. Mississippi is in favor of letting the Northern Democrats navigate the ship for the present. J. C. | TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE IN CHINA' Over Twenty Tbonsand Square Miles of Country Devastated—'Temples. Govern ment Building* and Dwellings Destroyed —Over 2,000 Lives Lost. From the New York Tribune, June 5tb.] Washington, June 4.—Onr Minister in China, Gov. Lowe, has forwarded to the Secretary of State the following translation of a report of a terrible earthquake, from the Chinese Governor- General of the province in which it occurred : BRIEF ACCOUNT OP THE EARTHQUAKE AT BATHANG, ■ IH SZCHUEN. I have ascertained that Bathang lies on a very elevated spot beyond the borders of the pro vince, about 260 miles west from LI Tang, and more than 30 post stations from the district town of Ta-tsien, on the high road to Thibet. About 11 o’clock a. al, on the 11th of April, 1871, the earth trembled so violently that the Government offices, temples, granaries, stone and store houses and fortifications, with all the common dwellings and the temple of Ting-lin, weroatohee overthrown and rained; the only exception was the hall ih the temple grounds called Ta-chao, which stood unharmed in its Isolation. A few of the troop3 and people escaped; bnt most of the inmates were crushed and hilled under the falling timber and stone. Flames also jsuddenly burst out in fonr places, which strong winds drove abont until the heavens were darkened with smoke, and their roaring was mingled with the lamentations of the distressed people. On tho lGth tho fl-imo3 were beaten down, bnt the rambling noises were still heard under ground like distant thunder, and the earth rocked and rolled like a ship in a storm at the mercy of the waves. The multiplied mis eries of the sffiictcd inhabitants were increased by a thousand fears, but in about 10 days mat ters began to grow quiet and the motion to cease. The grain collector at Bathang says that for several days before the earthquake the water had overflowed the dyke, but after it the earth «*acked In many places, and black, fetid water spuiwi out in a f urieus manner. If one poked the eartu the spurring instantly followed, just as in U6M*.with tho salt-wells and fire-wells (m the oastemp«t of the province;) and this explains how it happ»n«a that fire followed tho earthquake in Bathang. ~ -■ As nearly as is ascertained, there were de stroyed two large temples, the office* of the col lector of grain tax, the local magistrate, *nd tho colonel, tho.Ting-lin temple, and nearly 700 fathoms of wall around it, and 351 rooms in all in side ; six smaller temples, numbering 221 rooms, beside 1,849 rooms and houses cf the common people. Tho number of people, soldiers and lamas killed by the crash was 2,29S! among whom were the local magistrate and his second in office. *• • The earthqnake extended from Bathang east ward to Pang-Chahemab, westward to Nan-tun; on the south to Lin-tsah-shib, ahd oaths north to the salt well3 of A-timtsz, a circuitof over 400 miles. It occurred simultaneously over tho whole of tiffs region. In some places steep hills split and sunk into deep pits; in others, hills ojxleveLspots became precipitous cliffs, and the roads and highways were rendered* impassable Jby obstructions. The people were beggared- and •scattered like Autumn leaves; and thia calamity to the people of Bathang and viciffltawas really one of the most distressing and^lPtrnciive that has ever happened in this country. BY TELEGRAPH New Orleans, June 7—Midnight.—There Is strong southeast wind .with rain on Lake Ponchertrain thin evening. The water in the city has fallen two inches within the past twenty- four hours, and is near three inches below high water mark. The neutral ground on Canal street is clear of water nearly to Claiborne street. Besides the police ana charity boats there are hundreds of small crafts engaged in the passenger traffio. They are as thick around the neutral grounds on Canal street as vehicles at the race course, and boatmen are as solicit- ons for patronage as depot cabmen. Boats are required to carry lights, and after dark the scene is interesting. Five thousand loaves of bread and other articles of provisions have been distributed daily. A disagreeable odor arises along the border of the overflowed dis trict coming from stagnant water and decaying vegetable and animal matter.

The boffin of the Archbishop was covered with a pall of black velvet embroidered and enriched with a massive silver cross. Thousands of tapers were burn ing in silver candlebras, and the incense ves sels were also silver. The floor was covered with black cloth, and the pulpit covered with black gauze bespangled with silver stars. In the transepts, 150 feet wide, appearedhnge recesses of black drapery, which covered every statue except those of the Virgin 'and child and St. Denis, the first bishop of Paris. In the midst of all were the blaok and charred remains of the bishop’s chair and his throne, also half burned, with whioh the-Communists -endeav ored to bum the cathedral, and which was left intact as a memento of the crime, Versailles, June 8.—A motion for the pro longation of Thiers' term was postponed until after the supplemental elections.

Andrew Johnson’s Opinion or Slier man, Grant, and Hancock. 1 We copy from the correspondence of the Cin cinnati Commercial: I asked Mr. Johnson what he thought of Gen oral Sherman as a Democratic nominee for the Presidency. * ‘Sherman, ’’ said he, “is a smart man; and a shrewed man. There is no doubt but what is looking forward to the Presidency, and if can’t get it from one party he intends to from the other. He is not very particular abont parties. In course of time he expects to be President, bnt he is in no particular harry about it His ehief aim now is not to lose his popu larity, and to be ready when the golden moment comes. He is a military man, and don’t care muoh abont parties. He is a good deal Grant was after the dose of the war. That lit 1 tie fellow had quite a notion of going with the Democracy for a while.” “He was formerly a Democrat, was he not ?” “No, he wasn’t anything. He didn’t have sense enough, He has got. no head'of his own. Sherman is as much smarter man than he as yon can imagine. Frequently they hhve both come in to see me on business. Grant always stood baok and let .Sherman do the. talking. The little fellow felt his inferiority,.and took backseat, and let Sherman transact the bosi. ness. Sherman is a man, while Grtttfft ia noth ing. Yes, sir, he is just nothing.” “Bat the Republicans will be apt to renomi nate him, don’t you think ?” " “Appearances indicate that they will.”; “They have got him, .and seem inclined M rm tn KliWW»"- to hold on to him?” ■“No,”.replied. Mr. Johnson; .“ho,has got them. They can’t get rid of him.' He Is in, and intends to remain in. He has got the pa tronage and that infamous Ku-klnx bill to aid him.That'Ku-klnx law is damnable infamy. Twenty-years ago It wonld have shocked the American people like electricity.” “ It on think, Mr. Johnson, that there is no prospect that the Democracy will take Sher man ?” “No, they will not be apt to take him. Gen erally speaking, I am opposed to a military man on the noket; bnt if it tsnecessarythat we have one, why not take General Hancock? He is soldier, a statesman, a scholar, and a gentleman. He is a noble specimen of a man every way you take him, physically or mentally. There is no comparison between Grant and him. Grant no man; he is nothing.” A CYCLONE. Extraordinary Phenomenon In Southern Illinois. Chicago, Jane 5, A cyclone occurred near Mason City Illinois, last Friday morning. A cloud of smoke-like column was observed gathering near the earth’s surface, on the open prairie, six miles from that plaoe, and from this oolnmn soon shot ont three narrower and spiral-like cloud columns, whioh continued to ascend rapidly till they reached and seemed to attach themselves closely to the passing cloud above. This frightful apparation moved slowly towards Mason City, but finally changed its coarse, much to the relief of the people of that place. An odor, much like burn ing sulphur, was inhaled by several persons who stood about a hundred yards from the cyclone. When it passed, some small flashes of electric! ty were constantly visible in a storm column passing from the earth to the cloud above, .and rapid, popping, cracking reports were heard, reminding one most forcibly of an infantry regiment in battle, firing their mnskets as fast aspossible. The pathway of the cyclone was nearly three miles in length, and from twenty to eighty feet in width, and in that pathway not a spear of grass, not a stalk of com or wheat, not a shrub; not a particle of vegetation was left alive. For some distance the earth was literally plowed up to the depth of six inches. The oolnmn of whirl ing air must have been intensely hot, as every green thing in its path was literally dried to crisp. Another feature of the cyclone was that while its rotary motion most have been of incredibly great velocity, its progressive motion was not above the rate of six miles an hour, outlines of its pathway were so well defined five feet frdm the onter line. There is a total destruction of vegetation of every kind. Not a vestige ef its effects could be seen. Fortunately, no house stood in tho tornado’s line of march. Railroad meeting. In pnrsnance of a call previously issued, a number of citizens of Clarke, Madison, and' Banks counties, met at Harmony Grove on Fri day, May 26tb, in the interest of the Northeast ern Railroad. The meeting was called to order by Dr. W. . J. Hardeman.. Bev.-Win. R. Goss was called to (he chair, anff J. K. P. Douglas, requested to act as secretary. Mr. Goss, in a few appropriate remarks, ex plained the object of the meeting, after which io- introduced Mr. A. S. Erwin, of Athens, to the audience, who, in a forcible style, narrated the past history of the Northeastern Railroad, and portrayed the advantages which would ao erne to this section of country by the construc tion of thia road, placing us, as it would, in easy and quick accoss to the markets of our country, and developing the resources of this portion ef our glorious old “Empire State of the - South.” He was followed by Mr. J. J. Tnmbull, of Homer, who advocated the claims of this road on our people, stated the superior advantages of the route by Harmony Grove and Homer over any other—demonstrating this to be the most practicable, cheapest and Bhortest one, and our ability to build it a nanotfr-gaage,*if we cannot construct it broad-guage. At the conclusibn of the remarks of the gen tleman, proposals were made for stock, and two hundred shares were subscribed. Oa motion tho Athens Watchman and Ban ner were requested to publish thp proceedings of this meeting, iind Macon; ’Augusta and Sa vannah papers to please copy. —i | , On motion, the meeting adjourned. - W.
