Willie Pierce, a youth ten years of age, son of Mr. Jas. Pierce, engineer on the Central Bail- road, was drowned in the Ogeechee Canal, at Savannah on .Wednesday. _ . Cotton, rosin, rice and lumber to the value of $277,732 88 were Bhipped from Savannah for foreign ports,- last Wednesday. During the month of May marriage licenses were Issued by the Ordinary of .Chatham county to 57 blacks and only 18 whites. The Advertiser accounts for the heavy majority for the negroes on the ground that many of them are just now legalizing the tie that has bound them for many years. Among the candidates was an old darkey 90 years of age. The negro preachers must, be hard np. Thursday was the eleventh day'of rain in Co lumbus and vicinity, and plantation work has been almost suspended. The blackberry crop is in great danger, but, as an offset, the country is distressingly healthy. The Columbus papers say it has rained on thirty-eight ’days' since March h — i W ’ * . • The Sun relates the following incident: The Bible in the Courts.—In the case of Sapp vs. Collier and Bains, in the court-house yesterday, Hon.' M. H. Blanford, one. of the counsel for defendants, read’froth the' 5th chapter of Nehemiab, regarding the convention of the Israelites, and their action regarding old debts. He drew the parallel between their situation and ours, showing them to Tjo very similar, and enforcing the Argument that it was right and just that the South should have fol lowed the example. The sermon W03 a most ex cellent one. Major R. J. Moses, in his reply for the plaintiff, stated it was indeed'a high compliment to the Israelites that after eighteen hundred years of persecution their laws should be read as exponents of the true principles of justice and equity. Our conventions had gone further than those of the Jews; for while we, in many cases abrogated, the entire debt, they relinquished only the one-hundredth part. The Sun estimates the drayage business of Columbns as costing $100,000, end wants to know, yon know, if $50,000. wouldnT pay a. street railway company. Dr.'S. B. O’Neal, a respected citizen of Tal- bottoh, died last Saturday morning after a long illness. Mrs. Helums, of Talbot county, is also dead, leaving twelve children. The Standard don’t talk as if the wheat crop of Talbot county bad been seriously injured by too much rain. It says: Colonel W. B. Spain has gathered 21,000 pounds of wheat off of three and a half acres, which, if threshed, would equal about eighty- five bushels. We hear Mr. Henry Mathews, of this county, has a field of wheat, that will make 30 bnshels per acre. It is so thick and tall, it hardly can be cut with a cradle. The Thomasville Enterprise reports the ap pearance of rast on the corn in some sections of that county. The oat crop has already been considerably damaged by the same cause. Tom Been stole a fine borso from Col. B. B. Moore, of Thomas connty, last Monday night week, but was not keen enough to keep from being arrested at Eilaville, Fla., two or three nights thereafter. He now studies the art of “noblo horsemanship” from the stand point of tho soft side of a plank in Thomasville jaiL Reese, who killed Edwards at Crawfordsville, some time last year, has just been convicted of murder in Hancock county, and sentenced to be bung on the 4th of August. A man named M. W.

Heggie and Andersc>n,;Of that place. They brought him to Atlanta and received $300 reward. Mo. spent all Tuesday fishing in the Chattahoochee Biver, under the State Road bridge, which shows that he is a bit of a philosopher. It was rumored yesterday in Atlanta, that he had attempted to commit suicide the night before, which was not at all philosophical. The wheat crop of North Georgia is turning out badly. Tho Marietta Journalreportsit me dium ; the EomS Courier below the average; and the Cartersvillo Standard says it is well nigh ruined. A man named Crow shot and seriously wound ed his cousin of the same name, in Walker connty, last week. The latter’s intimacy with Mrs. C. was the caics of the shooting. A little boy, son of Mr. Pitts, of Cobb coun ty, was drowned in a spring, one day last week. W. A. P. Hall was seriously stabbed last Sat- urdaynfght, at Calhoun, by a man named Bold ing.. Hall provoked the difficulty. He has promised to drop one of his names when he gets well. They make him toe good a mark. A party of gentlemen interested in the Grffin and Madison Narrow Gnage Railroad have just passed over the route. They had meetings in Jackson, Butts county, where $35,000 were subscribed; Indian Springs where $25,000 was subscribed; Monticello which put down $42/ 000, and at Madison where the Town Council was authorized to submit a proposition for$50,» 000 subscription. The Atlanta Sun, whence we gather these facts, says Morgan and Spald ing counties will probably subscribe $200,000 of tbe $300,000 necessary to build the road. . Messrs. Jas. Tooley, of the New York Her ald, and E. D. Smalley, of the Tribune, have been in Washington within the past few days. We suppose they were hunting Gen. Toombs; with interviewing intentions. Washington is bragging on a new brass band which toots every afternoon at six o’clock on the public square. Playful individuals at Washington satura ted with benzine, amuse themselve by mounting guard on.horseback on the sidewalks, and -com pelling ladies to tnke the middle of the street. The local paper indignantly demands the where abouts of the town marshal. A negro named Mose went catfishing in a big ditch near Columbus, Friday afternoon, and dp to date has forgotten to return. _ The Snn says that a bet of $100 was booked in'that city, Friday, that the cotton receipts or Columbus the coming season would not go over 50,000 bales. According to the ratio of ’70-'7I, this i3 equivalent to betting that the total crop will not ran over 2,800,000 bales. The Co\umbu3 Enquirer learns “from W. D. Grace, who resides near Howard, on the South western Railroad, that, with the exception of two small showers on Tuesday last, no rain has fallen in thia neighborhood in three weeks. The same report reaches ns from Reynolds and tho tipper part of Talbot county.” Clarance Mahone, who honors Columbns by being one of her citizens, has been giving his wife what the local of the Sun calls “a genteel thrashing.” If that young man ha3 a sweetheart we should say such “ ’orricj langwidge” would entitle him to a “genteel" sacking. The Sun notes the following decision: Court Costs.—Judge Harrell, at present oc cupying the bench of our Superior Court, de cided yesterday that in cases to be carried by plaintiffs or defendants to the Circuit Court of the United States, under the act of Congress, that the party moving, and to whom leave is granted, shall have judgment against them for costs already accrued; Our Southwestern Georgia exchanges tell the same' story as to the late rains. The Sum ter Republican reports cotton as “gone up” io many districts—drowned out and sickly beyond recovery in others. “Garden aass,’.’ however, is immense, and com ditto. It thinks the end will be a half crop of cotton and full otop of j The Albany News reports -hard rains every day since Jane 1st; with most disastrous effect on cotton. It says: We have general and reliable information from the counties of Decatur, Thomas, Michel], Baker, Miller, Eirly, Calhoun, Terrel, Lee and Dougherty, and it is the universal testimony that the crop cannot now recover so as to yield much, if any more than half planted for. Those who had their crops clean on the first, are now hopelessly in the grass, and the continued rains preclude the possibility of favorable results. Com was never better. Mr. Charles Barnes, a young' Albanian of fine promise; dfed last Wednesday. The Sumter Republican reports a sad case ally in Americas, on last Wednesday, by which Sammy Greene, a youth employed in the tele graph office lost his life by the accidental dis charge of a derringer pistol in the hands of John Marshall, the operator at that point. The editor of the Bainbridge Sun has been dead-headings himself on the first watermelon of the season.’ Mr. John Ellen, for forty years a citizen of Houston county, died last Taesday in hiseighty- fonrthyear. The Home Journal says: He famished six sons and one grandson to the Confederate army. He was twelve years Judge of tbe Inferior Court, and. served one term’in the Legislature. Of the esteem in which he was held, we need not speak; and almost every cit izen knew bis integrity and sterling worth. He had been a consistent and devont member of the Baptist Church for fifty years or more; he held the office of Deacon for a number of years; and he .died well prepared—in the confident hope of a blessed immortality. The Hama Journal reports from two to five showers daily in that connty, with a fine prospect of Houston becoming a magnificent grass plat. Of the'doings of the Superior Court the same paper says - Houston-Eutxrior Court.—Judge Cole has been pushing business through as rapidly as possible, but neither the docket nor the jail is yet cleaned.' The jail has now about twenty prisoners in it—all negroes. As soon as one is taken ont it seems -aa> if two more are put it. Jim Toomb3 wa3 found'guilty of the murder of Beuben Hunter on the 9th of May, and sen tenced to be hung on the 28th of July. The Grand Jury seems to^hf.ve had plenty to do: they haye been constantly at work ever since their organization. As it will be impossible to get throngb all the business this week, the bar have agreed to re quest an extra term in Jnly, which will proba biy be granted. The Atlantio and Gulf Railroad has extended its track to the Savannah Biver, and vessels are now loaded with lumber directly from the trains. We clip the following from the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Friday: The Tax Receiver Enjoined.—In addition to the railroad war now in progress, another inter esting bit of litigation ha3 recently sprung up in this city. The new fight is between the Au gusta Factory and the Receiver of Tax Returns of Richmond county. From what we can learn of the case it appears that heretofore the Au gusta Faotory has returned the stock of the company at its par value of one hundred dol lars per’share—six thousand shares. The Re ceiver claims that under the law he was required to see that all property was returned at its mar ket value, and ou investigation he discovered that Augusta Faotory stock sold oa tho first day of April last—the time when tho return wa3 made—at one hundred and sixty dollars per share. He therefore changed the return from six hundred thousand dollars to nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars. The President of the factory contended that tho stock of the com pany could only be returned and taxed at its par value, and the case was appealed to the Comptroller General of the State for his opin ion. The Comptroller General decided that tbe stock must be returned at its market value. After this decision was rendered the Faotory turns from returning the stock at more than one hundred dollars per share. Judge Gibson has appointed the tenth day of July as a time for hearing argument upon the application. Warrenton ha3 a new Methodist Church. A negro was shot and killed, in self-defence, at Warrenton, last week, by the Marshal of the town. Mr. William W. Anderson, one of the mo.st respected citizens of Warren county, died last Monday, aged 67 years, Gen. J. B. Hood, and Daniel McFarland, who killed the free lover, RichardsoD, at New York, were among tho Kimball House arrivals, Fri day. We are pleased to welcome tho Senola Jour nal to our exchange list. It is a comely sheet, and shows taste and industry in its make np. Rev. Dr. W. T. Brantley has resigned the pastorate of the of the Second Baptist Church at Atlanta, to accept a call from Baltimore. He ha3 sold his residence at Atlanta for $15,000. The Atlanta Sou reports heavy “and extensive rains in the counties of Morgan, Greene, Ogle thorpe, Taliaferro, Hancock, Warren, Wilkes and Onlumbia. In all these counties the wheat crop is reported as affected more or less with rust, while cotton is unusually backward.” The Sun, referring to the new departure, take3 this “Independent position” upon it: The new movement seems to us to be nothing bnt an open abandonment of the old creed Democratio party in its most essential, parts, and tbe fall espousal of the doctrines against which that party has warred since the days of Jefferson. We get the following items from the La Grange Reporter, of Friday: A Family Re-union.—A very pleasantreunion of five aged sisters occurred at the residence of Mr. P. H. Greene, in this town, on Wed- nesday last. Four sisters of Mrs. Greene are on a visit at her house, and she gave a dining in honor of the occasion, to which the relatives of the family were invited. The occasion was, of course, very pleasant, and one that seldom occurs in this country. The five sisters all live in Afferent localities, viz: Mrs. Mary Peek, of Hancock oauqty, aged,..72' Mrs. Elizabeth P. Peek, of Greeneco., aged...67 Mrs. Emily F. Gary.of Coosa oo., Ala., aged...65’ Mrs. Mildred W. Greene, of La Grange,...63 >Tto. Caroline! O.-Respass, of Eatonton, aged...65 Total ;....-.iv 322 The Crops.—The cotton crop is still discoar aging.. .We,are informed that the stand is bad. The long wet season has given,grass the start so much that when it is cut away from the cotton tbe stand will be much injured thereby. The wheat is much injured,’though we are glad to learn that the yield will be better than was ex pected a few weeks ago. The oat crop is very good and the corn crop is booming. On its last Legs. We don’t knov^hat it ia exactly proper to use the word legs even in connection with the an nouncement that the humbug called woman suffrage is about to collapse, but still no cap tion that occurs to ns sow so well expresses that desirable consummation as the one above. Be sides, that very deconi3 and proper sheet, the Journal of Commeroe, speaks of it that way and therein we find our justification, if any is needed. That paper, under the above heading, says: The imposition of a trifling admission fee on visitors to the Woman Suffrage Convention at Boston settled the fate of that speculation. If was a dead failure. Outside of a few dozen women in Boston—the very centre of the oause —nobody thinks enough of female suffrage to speed a dime or two on it. The money w»“ wisely saved. There is probably nothiusr. oa which it could be laid out—not »*ceptmg peanuts and confectionery—wher* 11 would not be better spent than in hearin«theBta,e speech es to which the Tremoo* Temple gave back a sepulohral eoho'from tenantless spaces. The speeches had been prepared oa. the’ theory that there would be a desperate rash for secured seats at the box office. They contained allu sions to “woman suffrage growing in strength,” “each convention excelling its predeces sor,” etc., and the orators did not deem it neces sary to prune down these luxuriances of state ments, in consideration of the beggarly audi- enoe before them. Like many other speeches in the world, they were meant for the consumption of gullible people outside of the Tremont Temple, who, bnt for the candid reve- lationsof the reporters, would never have known what an important fizzle this Convention was.
