Bibb County Agricultural Fair. '
The first Fair of the Bibb County Agricultu
ral Society will be held at the Central TrotliDg
Park, on the banks of the Odmulgae, in MacoD,
on Saturday next, tho 17th instant. Valuable
premiums are offered for farm implements,
field orops, fruits, garden vegetables, flowers,
domestic productions in the way of paintings,
butter, honey, wines, etc. Tbo Society ear
nestly desires numerous contributors, and hopes
that all the families 1“ this vicinity will assist
in making an exhibit which will be creditable
to the taste nnd industry of tho county. All
entries are free of - charge,- and no charge will
be mnde for admission to the grounds.
During the day there will be a boat-race, in
which the different Boat Clnbs of Macon and
thd Chattahoochee Boat Club of Columbus, will
join In a friendly contest for a prize for
superior speed, and -this will bo followed by a
tub raco by many of the members of these
clnbs, in which speed will be sacrified to fun.
In short, there will be, weather permitting, a
high old time—a grand combined Agricultural
and Agnatic Pic-Nio—to which everybody is
cordially invited, and where a scene of much
hilarity and social enjoyment is confidently
anticipated.
“Tnr. Crtstal.”—This is the name of the
last sensation in New York vehicles* gotten up
by the New York Transfer Company for the
purposes of cheap and comfortable transporta
tion in the city. It is a carriage—all of glass
except the top and supports—designed to carry
four persons, and is entered by a door from tho
rear—a folding step opening and shutting with
the door. The driver’s seat is so arranged a3
not to interfere with the view of the passengers,
who can look ont in all directions through the
glass sides. It is very handsomely gotten np
and each one, including horse and harness, will
cost $1,600. Fifty of them will be, if they have
not already been, put in operation. The dri
vers will wear a dark blue uniform and navy cap.
Specific rates of fare will bo established, being
$1 00 an hour for the carriage, without regard
to tho number of passengers. Short trips of a
mile or so, will bo fifty cents for ono or more
passengers. -
In another column will be .found an extract
from an article in tho Baltimore Underwriter,
written in reply to a recent attaek by a North
ern insurance journal upon all SouthernlAteln-
surance Companies.
The extract which we publish relates to the
Cotton States Life Insurance Company. And
it is with pleasure that wo give space to such an
admirable exposition of its progresFand success.
We feel a pardonable pride in this purely
Georgia institution, and earnestly urge upon
our people an examination of its claims to pat
ronage. » . ' '
The Shebut’s Bond.—Reports having been
circulated that the bond ot Sheriff Doyle, of
this connty, is insufficient, we are requested to
state that a committee, consisting of Messrs.
A. O. Bacon, T. J. Simmons, Clifford Ander
son and Washington Poo, wa3 appointed by
Jndge Cole to examinei into the matter, and
they reported on the 13th instant “that they
have examined into the solvency of the persons
who have signed the bond, as securities, and
that, in their opinion, said bond is sufficiently
strong.”
Two More.—Geo. A. Bacheldor, son-in-law
of Senator Hamlin, of Maine, Secretary of
Pakotqh Territory, is “short” §8000 in his cash
account with the “best government,” etc.
And F. A. McCartney, Superintendent and Dis
bursing Officer of the P. O. D. at Washington,
is minus $30,000, and i3 now playing crazy in a
lunatio asylum. When wo “rise to explain"
that both these patriots are of the very bluest
blood in tho trooly loil family, the existence of
the milk in the cocoa-nnt and the nature of Han
nah’s ailment are palpably demonstrated.
The Montgomery Advertiser says Alabama
will not lose a dollar by developer Stanton’s
oollapse. The railroad company owns from
600,000 to 900,000 acres of land which stands
as part Steentity for the $2,000,000 in bonds ad
vanced by the State, and the road cannot sell
for less than $6,000,000, in any event—an
amount much larger than is necessary to cover
ell the endorsed bonds with interest, present or
prospective. .
The Potclation op London.—In 1861 the
population of London was 2,803,989. On the
2d of April, 1871, it was 3,251,801, showing an
increase, in ten years, of 447,815. This popu
lation occnpies an area of 122 square miles. On
an average, there are"2,6C9 persons living on
each sqoare mile. The births have every year
exceeded the denths, bat the increase comes
mainly from immigration. Look out, Atlanta!

li'ew Yorlr Tribune and Gen.Toombs.
We copy from the Tribune of the 10th inst.
an alleged report of a special intetviewing cor
respondent with Gen- Toombs. We shall bo
slow to credit the ravings which he professes to
have -caught as they fell from the lips of that
gentleman, as genuine and sober utterances' by
Mr. Toombs. They are probably part and par
cel of tpe grand En-klnx enginery which the
party are diligently fand it seems to ns prema
turely) elaborating for the campaign of next
year, and which are intended to perform the
fractions of scare-crows—raw heads and bloody
bones, to frighten the Northern people into an
extension of Radical power, rad a perpetuation
of the system of grinding repression, tyranny
and hatred upon which they have administered
the government ever einoe the'war.
Never was there a more total misrepresenta
tion of the spirit of the Southern people, than
this correspondent pats into the month of Gen.
Toombs. They want peace, order, and a restor
ation of tho ancient status. This Tribune writer
has conjured up from the depths of his inven
tion, the first Southern advocate of a renewal of
the struggle by arms for sectional independence
wo have ever met with.
Nothing but the imminent jeopardy of a gi
gantic property interest which perished in the
struggle, ever reconciled sensible Southern
men to tho positive erils of a politibal division
of the country into separate, rival and often
inevitably antagonistic nationalities, burdening
successive generations with an awfnl and need
less expense and inconvenience In peace, and
with far more deplorable consequences in war.
Much less, now that slave property is gone—
and there need not be a single inharmonion*.
interest belwoen tbe peopte of the two grand
sections of the United States, can there be
found any serious advocates of the insane poli
cy of stretching an arbitrary political cordon
across tho American continent, to be a line of
perpetual contention and slaughter for ourselves
and our children, until some happy fortuity, (as
it did in Great Britain,) should arise, stronger
than the hatred engendered by centuries of mu*
Inal rapine and murfi’er, to bring the belliger
ents together under the authority of a common
government. Nor do we read in vain the awfnl
tragedies enacted on continental Europe be
tween nations hardly less arbitrarily divided.
There can be no higher blessing than a good
common government extending over all the
United States—deserving and acquiring the
confidence and affections of the whole people
by itg impartiality, integrity, justice and kindli
ness; and it is this kind of government which
the people ot the Sonth long for and hope to
see established.
Bat as distrust, hatred, scorn, injustice and
oppression cannot beget confidence and love,
there must be a change to reawaken those
active and. inspiring sentiments of national
patriotism which once animated the Southern
people. At present they recognize the Federal
Government as an authority which they have
no power to substitute, and which there is no
broad, general reason, for desiring inmwani,,
aside from the manner in which it is tempo
rarily wielded. But they look for an ameliora
tion with the lapse of time. They hope that
the spirit of Southern proscription and hatred
will gradually die out, and the Northern people,
becoming convinced that the same measure of
public liberty must finally adjust itself to all
sections of the common country, will unit©
with ns in re-establishing all the essential safe
guards of local self-government and funda
mental popular rights.
, . Georgia Politics.
Tho Tribune, of Friday, has a letter from its
special correspondent written at Augusta, and
which has some interesting points. Among
others, the synopsis of a conversation with a
jndge, a Democratic editor, and a colonel who
has been eleoted to the next Legislature. 'The
Judge—whom we take to be Gibson—was very
chatty, indeed. Among other subjects discussed
was the condition-of political parlies in Geor
gia. He said that the Radical party “was hope
lessly ruined,” divided, as it was, into two
factions—tho Hill-Akerman faction and the
Bullock-Blodgelt faction. This quarrel was
enough to destroy the party, bnt “bad Presiden
tial appointments” had powerfully aided that
consummation. Most of the appointees “were
worthless fellows who had been sloughed off
the army at (he end of the war”. He declared
that “there were now no white Republicans in
the State except office-holders.” The sympa
thies of the negroes “were with the Republi
cans” but the man “who thought ho could build
up a party of negroes would be greatly mis
taken.”
“They were, he said, quite untrustworthy, and
conic} be easily influenced by their employers,
frightened by the Ku-klux, or iuducod to sell
their votes for any small sum. He knew of in
stances where intelligent negroes, who had been
active as Republican politicans, had been hired
for a few dollars a day to take ahorse and buggy
and go about electioneering for the Democrats.
At the next election he believed there wonld be
no effective Republican organization in Geor
gia, bqt he was confident that the Democrats
would split into two parties, one of progressive
men, accepting the Fehnsylvania and Ohio plat
forms, and tho other of the reactionists or Bour
bons, led by A. H. Stephens and Robert
Toombs, who were determined to keep np the
old fight against the constitutional amendments
and the validity of the reconstruction acts. The
Colonel said that he thought the beBt thing for
the people of Georgia to do was to send no del
egates to either of the national conventions, bnt
to wait until both parties had made their nomi
nations and then decide which it wonld be for
their interest to join. The Georgians, he said,
had no interest in national politicSj and would
support either party with equal readiness if they
thought they could benefit their State by so do-
faft”
We Infer that the “Colonel” was introduced
to the correspondent as a Democrat, bnt if the
correspondent represents him correctly ho isn’t
ono to hurt. Any way, he is not our sort. As
to tho Georgia Democracy splitting in 1872,
you just wait and see, Judge. - •
Representation In tbe National Con-
* mention.
, ° last Louisville Courier-Journal advocates
the policy V# sending no delegates to the Na
tional Conventi.n. and says it is supported by
Jacob Thompson, Ge'A-Fqrrest an d most of the
leaders of demooratio opi^ a ia Mississippi.
The Journal learns that the Cenu-a Democratic
Committee, of Tennessee, will call a conference
of Sonthern politicians in Nashville this 8u«,.
ruer, and hopes they will carry ont the sugges
tion. . - B
So far as Georgia is concerned, doubtless Bbe
would agree to any course adopted by her sister
Southern States. Georgia is a practical State,
and looks to results. What we want to know
is the best course adapted to secure a change of
administration, which shall lift, from our politi
cal and material interests tbo awful burden of
proscription by tho nUional government, which
wo have felt with so mnch inconvenience and
loss eveT since the_termination of the war.
The Telegraph feels no great interest in the
V'PtMtform WarJ^-F or more than a genera-
tion .the people have seen the politicians wran
gle with intense eagerness over successive plat
forms which, after every election, have been
laid aside like so mnch old lamber in a garret,
never to be Been or heard of afterwards: * We
want a change of men and influences which con
trol the Federal administration. We want men
there who will at least give the South the bene
fit of a fair construction, and not.employ the .
enormous legislative, executive and financial
power of the government to put the Southern
States under ban of tho Jaw and public opinion.
That is tho Telegraph’s platform, now; fand
■oien so muchJs achieved we J shill have' time
and opportunity to'lobk further.
The University ol Georgla.
A committee of resident Alumni have, In pursu
ance of a resolution passed at the lastannual ses
sion of the Alumni Society,invited the “scattered
brotherhood” everywhere to-meet at a festival
in Athens on Monday, 31st of July next—Com
mencement week. '
The movement seems somehow to be signifi
cant, and a number of the wandering and for
gotten sons, resident in this city, have requested
us to call a meeting' of alT of them who may
chance to see this notice, to. be held in the
office of Messrs. Jackson & Nisbet to-morrow,
evening, at five o’clock. We urge all who pos
sibly can to attend.
We confess to a spirit of musing and sad
ness that comes over us as we hear or think of
a probable reunion with college classmates and
friends; for there are no friendships and no
memories like those of a well-spent college life.
We cannot trust ourselves to attempt to relate
or anticipate what may be enjoyed, what must
be mourned over on fidoh ah occasion. The
day itself, when it comes, rad when all are
there who are not in tho grave, the day itself
and all it witnesses oannot give utterance to all
that will be thought, and felt, and enjoyed, and
endured. How, then, shall wo attempt it here ?
Let ns pause, and enquire if this preliminary
meeting of resident Alumni of the city—if this
general gathering of tho Alumni from all re
gions can be made available to the interests of
the University—the interests of education—the
welfare of the State.
This meeting here may induoe the Brother
hood in other largo cities to have a consulta
tion. There are twelve or fifteen here, there
are fifteen or twenty in Atlanta, and as many in
Augusta, Columbus and Savannah. What if
in all tbese cities the graduates of old Franklin
form university clubs with a permanent organ
ization for aU the purposes and all the work,
which the fntnre maydevelope and assign them.
Let this meeting here and there, it held in
other cities, lead out in the expression of opin
ion upon the wants ot the college, and the du
ties of educated men in the State to all the
fountains and mads of education!
Let them say what is needed at the Univer
sity to make it an institution in which every
intelligent man in the State feels that he ha3
an interest and a patriotic pride. What is
reeded is that every noble-hearted and clever-
headed youth in the State—be he rich or poor-
may feel that it is within his power, even
through hard struggles, to reach its temples and
revel in the storehouses of its learning. Let
them determine what is needed, and then sorely
there is enough of talents and enough of pa
triotism to resolve that their needs shall be sup
plied, and enough persistent energy to execute
the resolve.
Let this preliminary meeting here and those
elsewhere, and the general reunion in Athens,
all boldly onquire whether the institution may
not be brought nearer to the people, nearer to
the actual demands upon its working power, by
such an enlargement or change of its Board
of Trustees, as will brine into representation
the groat agricultural—the manufacturing and
commercial classes, to leaven a little the vast
amount of law and medicine and theology and
politilics, by whiciit is almost monopolized.
Let them enquire whether all tbe good changes
needed may not be facilitated and hastened, by
giving the Alumni Sooiety a voice in tho nomi
nation, if not in tho election of members, both
of the Faculty and the Board.
Let them enquire, and enquiring, declare
whether the character of the State, the useful
ness of the institution, its patronage by the
people, do not all demand that this Board, with
out exception, should be composed of men, of
patriots, of statesmen, against whose private
and personal, character no breath of reproval
can be uttered.

This vefiomous bigamist, renegade, murderer
and thief, it seems at last has come to grief.
It is a long lane that has no torn, and unless
Grant plays the role of Bollock and pardons the
miscreant because he has rendered some ser
vice to “loil” Sonth Carolina, there is some
chanco of his getting his deserts.
The above expletives seem rude and hamb,
but they are literally true, and rendered in gen
uine English.
Beginning With the bottom of the list let ns
travel upwards and prodnoe tbe testimony. For
stealing, he was court martialed by his com
manding officer, CoL W. P. White, and deprived
of his Confederate commission. The writer
had this from the lips of the Colonel himself.
Revenge then prompted him to plan and exe
cute, through a hireling accomplice, tho assas
sination of his superior officer. This is'proven
by the confessions recently made under oath of
that accomplice.
A renegade, all the world knows him to be;
and his malice and spite against his race and
country, are only equaled by the infernal de
pravity and turpitude of the man.
Of bigamy, the courts have just pronounced
him guilty.
That he has committed almost every other
crime known to the calendar we donbt not, if
his whole record conld be exposed. And yet
this is the creature who, when contending for
his seat in Congress, threatened to expose the
villainies of Carolina Radicals. What a picture
of that Fandemoneum on the right bank of the
Savannah? Yet this is universal suffrage and
its legitimate fruits.
Brutal Outrage.
The keeper of a beer saloon near Windsor
Hill, 'deliberately shot , his own cow twice on
Monday evening, Biinply because the poor crea
ture, tempted by the verdant pasture, did not
come home at the usual hour.
We saw the unfortunate animal stretched
upon the green with both hind legs broken, on
Tuesday aftemo.on, bnt still alive. The wretch
has left her there to* die, inch by ineb, from
p^in and starvation. ;3 ......
Mayor Hoff cdnld do nothing in the premises,
because tbe act was perpetrated outside of tbe
city limits. Steps will'be taken, however, by
the next grand jury to arraign and pnnish this
savage in human form. In the meantime, it
wonld be an act of mercy to pnt a period to the
misery of the dumb beast, bnt no one feels they
have any right to interfere. Such an instance
of malignant and besotted cruelty has seldom
been witnessed in a'civilized community.

We clip the following items from the Monroe
Advertiser of yesterday:
A Compromise.—Wo have a verbal report of
the action of the committee appointed at the
recent Citizens’ Meetingto pass upon the bonds
of certain Radical officials. - •
After fully canvassing the matter on Tuesday,
it was agreed that C. A, King should make the
bond for the Tax Collector, and Miles G. Turner
for the Treasurer. The scalawags elect to have
nothing to do with the offices, farther than to
draw their ill-gotten per cent. The arrange
ment was deemed best under all tbe circum
stances. The action of tji® commitieo will,
therefore, receive-the approval of the tax pay
ers of the ooraty.
Messrs. Kiqg and Tarner have since made the
neoessary bonds, and entered npon the discharge
of their dnties.
The Crops.—Wheat pronflses to “pan out
very well. Mr. W. B. Meek informs us that his
crop wi}l average fifteen bushels to the aore.
The farmers art “laying by” com preparatory
to giving their entire time to cotton. Oats are
booming.
High Wages.—We learn that a number of
fe/mers in this and tbe adjoining counties have
advanced the wages of employes since the har
vest season opened at least 50 per cent. It is
not believed that the farmers are justified in
paying this advance, and that they will oome
out in debt. ' ’ '
Cotton.—It is said that there is no inconsid
erable amount of cotton of last year’s crop still
in the bands of planters in Monroe county.
The Weather.—The latter part of-the week
was as warm as mid-summer. Under its genial
influence, the prospects and hopes of onr plant
ing irienclj are reviving, and already they
begin to wear more cheerful countenances.-
With clear weather for a week or ten days,
Monroe county- -will gee out of the grass.
Fine Cotton.—It iB really refreshing to loam
that the cotton of this ooraty was not all killed
by the recent heavy rains. Mr. Wm. Ponder
brought to onr office yesterday a stalk measur
ing twenty-three inobes. He states that cotton
on red lands has not been materially injured,
and thinks eight or ten days of clear weather
would enable planters to kill ont the grass. It
is to be hoped that this may be the case. The
farmers’ fears with reference to short crops
usually turn out in plenty.
Of developer Stanton’s collapse, the Atlanta
Sun, famishes some additional details. It says:
Onr informant states that trains on the road
have entirely ceased to ran. That the
ployees have them locked np in the car-. Is
and are guarding them, and refuse to release
them until their wages are paid, which are be
hind six and eight, and some even nine months.
The Nashville and Chattanooga road has in*
stracted their agent at the latter place to per
mit no train of that road to pas3 over their por
tion of the traek until some $12,000-rent due is
paid. This is for the use of six miles of that
road, which the A. & C. road used before it
came to their turn-off.
Various surmises and ramof s are afloat around
Chattanooga as to the grand finale of this affair.
Some supposes that the visit of the several
Northern financiers and capitalists to this city
last week had something to do with it. The
State Road also comes in for a share in this line,
as also the Nashville and Chattanooga Road.
Stanton’s failure, it is said, compromises finan
cially, some of the leading business houses in
Chattanooga.
The Griffin Star, of yesterday, sums np the
results of the recent efforts in behalf of the
Griffin and Madison narrow guage Railway as
follows:
To sum up the solid results of the trip to
date, we put dbwn the actual subscriptions fn
round numbers as follows:
Butts county. $60,000
Jasper connty 70,000
City of Madison, subject to vote of city 50,000

74 French, while only one carried the American
flag ! Hail Columbia—happy land!
$295,000
True, the city of Griffin has not yet voted on
her subscription, yet no one doubts that she
will vote for it by a large majority. Madison
has not voted, bnt many of her most wealthy
and most substantial citizens assure us that there
will be scarcely any opposition. Committees
are also zealously at work all along the line, and
constantly increasing the subscriptions, so that
we confidently expect, and fnlly believe, that in
the next few weeks nearly, if not quite, $400,-
000 will be subscribed.

Arithmetical.—A mother, son and daughter,
all invalids, went on nn excuaion to Europe.
Daring their absence the father at home died,
•leaving the following provisions in his will: “If
my wife and son return, the former shall re

my son should die abroad, and only my wife

A Lively Dispatch!
The Herald of the 10th has a fanny dispatch
front Atlanta-, whioh it ushers before the publio
with a grand flourish of trumpets, announcing
a new and formidable political and financial
combination in Georgia, Whiqjtis going to work
wonders for the State. It is equal to. anything
ever produced by Dogberry or Justice Shallow
Atlanta, Jape 9,1871.—It is rumored that,
the visit here of Senator Cameron and Thomas
Scott, of tho Bennsylvania Central; Secretary
Delano and General Horace Forter, a few da;
ago, contemplated a programme whioh w—
politically throw the State of Georgia info the
bands of a railroad king. These gentlemen a
few months ago leased the State Road from At
lanta to Chattanooga. To strengthen themselves
they took in Governor Brown, Ben Hill and
William B.. Johnston and other Georgia politi
cians and capitalists. It is said they are now
trying to arrange an alliance with -Wadley, of
the Georgia Central. They are already on terms
with King, of the Georgia Railroad. Wadley
has just succeeded in leasing the Macon and
Western Road, which has hitherto been a nec
essary link in the system of the Macon, and
Brunswick. ' This latter road exists only by
through traffio, and Wadley’a lease, if it stands,
will min it utterly. The lease also seriously
threatens the interests of the city of Atlanta
and of the Chattanooga Road, as the Georgia
Central contemplates tapping the West by the
new line from Griffin to Alabama and the Ten
nessee River, thus diverting traffio from Atlan
ta. An injunction has been taken out against
the lease by Atlanta stockholders in the Macon
and Western, but the general opinion is that the
lease will be duly ratified.-
Cameron, Soott and the Chattanooga people
are trying to force Wadley to make terum with
them; if not they will probably attack his Ma
con and Western lease. They are said, how
ever, to be willing to swap off part of their
finaneial interests for the political influence of
the Central Road, which, if secured, gives them
absolute control of the State. Wadley wonld
not attend the meeting on Tuesday, and the
party, accompanied by Governor Bollock, have
gono tp the- Mammoth Cave on an excursion,
without makifig 'the combination. The pro
gramme contemplates farther a grand reorgani
zation of parties in the State on the basis of a
union of “aocept the situation” Democrats with
respectable Republicans, and leaving the car
pet-baggers and scallawags ont in the cold. Ben
Hill was a violent rebel, buthas now announced
his desire to aocept war issues. Brown is a Re
publican, but ‘is edging away from extreme rad-
calism. Bollock grows daily more and more
moderate in his republicanism. Farther de
velopments may be shortly expeoted.
Tire Result or Negro Seir-Gevern
incur.
The New York Tribune of Friday gives a
doleful account of tho result of negro self-gov
ernment a3 seen iu Liberia. We quote as fol
lows from the article In question:
Upon the adoption of the Liberian Constitu
tion the Presidential term was. limited to two
years, bnt at the last Bresidentlal election an
amendment was proposed by which the term
was to be doubled. Neither candidate, how
ever, interested himself in the amendment, and
the result was that the Vote oast for it was
merely nominaL President Boye, the success
ful candidate (present incumbent) took charge
of the ballots for and against .the amendment
and declared himself elected for four years.
The Legislature denied his right to count the
vote, alleging that it was a legislative fraction
which he had usurped; and on the 2d of last
month an election was held for a President to
enter upon the duties of his office in next De
cember, despite the protest of President Roye,
who claimed that his term would not expire
until 1873. The opposition, however, wero
successful, their candidate, ex-President J. J.
Roberts, receiving an almost unanimous vote.
Both fioye and Roberts insist Upon being
President, and there la ~evefy danger of a con
flict. ‘ The people are in rebellion against the
Administration. Prominent mendeolare that
Liberian independence was deolared 25 years
too soon, as the bulk of the people do not know
howto appreciate their independence. The
nestion of color has been raised by H. W.
)ennis, agent of the American Colonization
Society, Dr. MoGill, President-elect Roberts,
and other mnlattoes, who do not like,to see a
full-blooded negro at the head of-the Govern
ment. - • • •*
The “question of color,” eli?‘ WHatsaya
Father Greeley-to that f It strikes os that the
‘full-blooded negroes” and the mongrels will be
likely to repeat the San Domlngo-Kilkenny oat
fight, yet. And we aro not sure that such a
consummation would not be the yery best thing
that could happen for all hands. . .

Reply to PteaUent White’s Card.
Macon, Ga., June 13,1871.
Editors Telegraph dfid Messenger: The
card ot President White, of the Macon and
Western Railroad, impels me to make the fol
lowing reply And statement, much as l dislike
to obtrude myself upon the public.
It may be remarked that in my note, which
appeared in yonr tone of the 11th; I said, “ I
was not notified of the proposed meeting of the
Board, as the other Directors wero;” the plain
and obvious meaning of. whioh certainly is, ;
t>.nt I. was not informed of the proposed: meet
ing by the President, of his own motion, and
with an explanation of the objeot of- that meet
ing, as was the base with the other Directors.
In his card he says I. approached him on the
subject, not he me; he does, not say, and he
oould not say, that he informed me of the ob
ject of the meeting, as he had done, the other
Directors. So much for my note and President
White’s card.
I left Macon on Tuesday afternoon, May 9th,
1371, and .went to Rome, Ga.; I returned to
Macon on Saturday, May 13th, St about Soon;
from the 13th of May until the 25th of May—
that dark day for Macon when the lease was
made—I was, as usual, in the city every day,
and was in my offioe more than is Usual, for
part of the time my partner was absent from
home. On Monday momingnextbefore the day
of the lease, I went to my offioe about 9 o’clock
in the znomiqg; I either found the President of
the Brunswick Road waiting for die,
or he came in shortly aftor I did and
requested me to invite the President and
Directors' of - the Maoon and Western Board to
go with a party to Brunswick on the following
Wednesday, and asked me to accompany them.
Shortly after, Mr. Hazlehorst left, say before
10 o’clock, I started to the Postoffice, and at
Mr. Bo Oldman's store, met one of the Direc
tors, who I asked to go with us. He replied he
would like to do so, very much, but that there
was to be a meeting of the Maoon ard Western
Board on the next Thursday,.and that he could
not go, as he wonld like to do. This was the
first intimation I had fromany source that there
wonld be a meeting of the Board on that day.
I went across the street to the Postoffice, and
there met Mr. James A. Nisbet; with whom, as
I was returning back aorossthe street, I fell in
to conversation about a law suit which we are
both of counsel. When we got nearly to the side
walk just below Mr. Boardman’s store, I hap:
pened'tb look up from a paper I had in my
hand, and being about ten feet from the aide
walk; Is&w Capt. White and Mr. W. B. John- 1
ston in front of us, walking up the street, from
the direction of the Central Railroad Bank,
and g&ing toward Mr. Boardman’s comer. Capt.
White was on the outside of the side walk near
est to us, and the two were just in front of Mr.
N. and myself.. I accosted Capt. White, and he
replied, as nearly as I can recollect, in the foi-
lowing words: “Captain, I have jnstheard there
is to be a meeting of onr Boagd on Thurs
day. I am anxious to go with Mr. Hazle-
hurst and parly to Brunswick on Wednesday,
and suppose there is nothing of importance to
be done. He slacked his gak, but did not atop,
nor reply at once. When he did reply, he had
passed us several feet; so far, that he turned
his head, and I only saw his side face, as he
looked around and said, “I don’t know, there
may be.” This is my best recollection of his man
ner and what be said. As we turned to go to
Mr. Ni8bet’s offioe about our business, before I
said a word, Mr. Nisbet expressed his surprise
at Capt. White’s manner and evasion of my
question, and asked me if it was possible I did
not know what the objeot of the meeting on
Thursday was. I replied I had heard some
rumors and suspected what it was, bnt did not
know, and was anxious to find ont from the
proper quarter. ->
I asked two of the other Directors to go to
Brunswick, and they each said they wonld like
to go butmost stay to thiameeting of Thursday.
The last one I asked declining to give me any
information as to the object of the meeting,
because he said he had promised Capt. White
not to do so; bnt he added that Capt. White
said he would notify me and talk with me about
tbe object.• , ...
I determined not to go to Brunswick. I knew
Capt. White had some important movo on foot,
for I heard he had been for.some time getting
all the proxies he could* I suspected from what
I heard it was to lease or sell the Macon and
Western Railroad, but it never onoe occurred
to me that he dreamed of doing what ho now
claims he did do on that same Thursday, the
25th of May, without publio or proper notice to
several of tbe Directors, and many of the stock
holders, and who, it must have been known,
were opposed to what he claims thus to have
done, namely: in a space of less than five hours
r^I believe in less than four—submit to his
board a lease equal to a sale, of property worth
from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000, discuss, amend,
Change, sign, seal and deliver the'same. .Yes,
more than this; daring the same day turn over
the whole without schedule, inventory or ap
praisement, to a company ont of whose clutches
le has for years, until within the last feftv
months, been trying to keep. I say all this never
once entered my imagination.
I remained here in Macaq, expecting cer
tainly Capt White would notify me of tho
meeting, and talk with me about it, not for a
moment supposing that he would claim what
passed between ns in the street, as doing this.
I waited and waited, bnt I did not see or hear
frqm Capt-. White again until the day of the
meeting—Thursday. I was in tora, bnt I did not
see him, even at a distance. On ibe morning
of Thursday the 25th, I rode down to my office
earlier than usual, so that I would be in my
place should Captain White call, or I be sent
for. The time for the Board to convene is
ten o’clock. I waited until eleven, or within a
few minutes of eleven by tbe Town Clock, but
I received no notice, nor heard from Captain
White. Not knowing what to do, not liking to
foroe myself upon a party of gentlemen, and
still disliking to neglect a duty, I sent Captain
White a note, in substance as follows—I kept ho
cony: “I understand there is a meeting of onr
Board to-day, and that the other directors have
been requested to attend, whilel have not been.
I am embarrassed. I do not know how to act;
or whether my presence is desired or not. Please
inform me.” I suppose in less than half an
hour—I got to the railroad office about half past
eleven—I received the following letter from
Oapb White—at onoe mounted my horse and
rode fo the railroad offioe and found the Direc
tors in session: oh-js ire r
Maoon, Ga., May 25,1S71.
CoL L. If, Whittle: Dear Bra—I regret
ceedin&ly that you have not thought that you
were notified of our,meeting to-day, for In
formed you of the fact, and my recolleotion is,
I wanted you to remain and oome. I send my
buggy forqrom Please oome down as soon as
you can. Very Truly,
A. J. White, Pres’t.
Capt. White says in his Card that he did not
wi«h to treat me with disoourtesy; that is but a
small matter; one whohas been buffetted about
the world for fifty-three years, cares but little
for sucb things;,-but there in more than
this involved—much more. I was living in
Maoon„ was.not only one of the Direolora, but
the regular legal counsel of the road -at this
place;. I was also a Director in the Brunswick
Road, necessarily a rival of the Central for the
business of the Maoon and Western Road. I
should have been notified and advised as were
the other Directors in Maoon if it oould have
been done. It could have been done, for I was
here on the spot and oould have been seen spy
day after May 13th, nearly two weeks before
the day of the lease. Other Directors in Savan
nah, Charleston and New York were seen and
consulted, showing I oould have been with but
little trouble, even by a written note through
the pOBtoffioe, and the By-laws of the oompany

CoL S. M. Strong, ThomasciUe, Qa.:
Dear Sir : I am just in receipt of yonn of
the 30th nit., and would be pleased to afford
you any information in my power in relation to
the matte? you inquire about. We are making
sprue efforts here through the instrumentality
of our “Immigration and Agricultural Society"
to induce persons io settle amongst ns. Vie are
satisfied that large numbers of persons from all
parts of the United Stales, as well as tioa
Francs and Sweden, have their attention di
rected to this portion of onr State, to-srit Eist
Florida. As South America is mostly known
by tho River Amazon, so is Florida to strangers
by tbeRiver St Johns. I lived five years upon
that river and eleven years here, and know tie
comparative advantages and disadvantages oi
both sections. The St. Johns River county has
attracted attention at the North, and the bads,
by the influx of Northern capital, have advanced
to fabnlons prices. It is only suited for gar
dening purposes and-raising oranges, lemon?,
eta, bat peaches or apples will not grow. It
is. not a farming or planting region because
they have not got the lands, and for other
causes. _ ..
From the Ku-klux reports and rebel propen
sities of oar people Northern capital has notyet,
to any very great extent, reached our section:
hence on r lands, which are unsurpassed, are very
cheap. Our cl'mate, health and water here are
as good as anywhere in the State. The lands
produce sugar cane, short and long staple cot
ton, potatoes, peas, and, indeed, all of the wio
productions do well. As to variety and abun
dance of productions I donbt whether any lo
cality is superior. This region is about ontne
dividing ridge between the Atlantio and G“f"*
distant from the former about 90 miles; W®
the latter about 40 miles. This locality k
gj. found by the breezes from the one ortheotbe,
and our seasons aro regular and well adap-w
for productions. .. ..
