Newspaper Page TextThe Greorgia Weekly Telegraph and. Journal &c Messenger. Teiograph and Messenger. MACON, JULY 4, 1S71 Atlanta, Knoxville and Lynchburg Route Tt> New Tons-—Oh and after the 1st Jnly, tie fimn on this route will be reduced to 57 hours from Macon, so that, for example, leaving Ma con by morning train on Monday, the traveler would be landed in New Yorkbeforefive o'clock Wednesday evening. The connection iaporfect by both morning and evening trains, but that by the morning train Is a little more speedy. The cars are all new—the road in thorough re pair—and palace sleeping cars provided for night trains. The faro from Macon by this route is $3t 00. It lies all the way through a high, picturesque and healthy country, abounding in grand and striking scenery, and in every pro vision for the comfort of travellers. The eat ing houses on this route are clean, spacious and furnish luxurious tables. The Cotton FiounEs.—Receipts up to last Friday nigbt since let of last September 3,8(59,- 944 bales, against 2,813,323 bales for the cor responding period of tho previous cotton year— excess 1,050,621 bales. The excess of exports over last year 131,044,732 bales,or within a little short of forty thousand bales of the entire crop excess. The 3tock in Liverpool is only 257, 000 balo3 in exees3 of last year. The stock of American cotton afloat is 2,000 bales in excess, whiio that of Indian cotton afloat shows 130, C17 excess; total European stock excess, in cluding cotton afloat, is 389,(547 bales, while the American stock is 28,070 short of last year. Tho dispatch prognosticates such an advance as will compensate, in part, for any decrease in production this year. We hope it will be snffi cient to square the beam altogether. * Thanks.—We have to thank Seaton Grant- land, of Georgia, President of the committee, for su invitation to attend tho commencement exercises of tho Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, Vo., on Tuesday, July 4th, at 11 A. m. ; and also for an invitation to grace with out" presence, the ball to be given the evening of the same day to the graduating class, by the oorps of cadets. Fully realizing what loss our non attendance will entail upon our young friends and their young friends—of the femin ine gender—we find great difficulty in bringing ourself to say that we can’t go, bat such is the mournful fact. We trust, however, that those more fortunate than ourself will crowd a life time’s fun in that one evening’s joyous events. Violence.—It is noted that tornadoes, cy clones, hurricanes, earthquakes, waterspouts, hailstorms, tremendous rains and floods, load thunder, and fearful lightning, and blighting drouths, scorching heats and bitter colds afflict tbc earth to an unusual degree. Nature sympa thises with the temper of man, which is fierce, belligerent and cruel. The milk of human kindness has run dry. Tho world ceases to rnn on the principle of sunshine and attraction, and is driven onward by the fierce energy of mutu ally repellant and hostile forces. Even the gen tie sex is showing symptoms of the common in fection. When will things mend ? Georgia Girls at Staunton—'We notice in the Richmond Dispatch, of Friday, a long account of the annual commencement exercises of tho Virginia Female Institute, at Stanton, which closed on tho 19th inst. We notice among the of Wao JOTXSg ln'llM io wlxoui JgJg WATQ awarded the following from Georgia: For writ ing, Miss E. Meigs; for scholarship, Mis3 Anna Mays and Miss Bella Green; for drawing, Miss Emily T. Hamilton, and Miss Fanny E. Boss; for French, Miss Emily T. Hamilton, Miss Bello Miss Lucy Q. Dupree and Miss Lizzie R. Lock- ott. New Novel.—Lee & Shepard, publishers, Boston, send ns, through Brown & Co., the last novel from the pen of Marie Sophie Schwartz, bearing tho title of “The Wife of a Vain Man.” The author’s previous works—“Gniltand Inno cence” notahly among them—have been re ceived with special favor by the most critical circles both in England and this country, and her last is said to be an improvement even upon that—which is very high'praise indeed. Quant on Chase and Hancock.—A Herald reporter said to Grant that Senator Sprague, Mr. Chase’s son-in-law, seemed to think the Chief Justice would not accept a nomination for the Presidency from either party. Grant replied: “That doesn’t matter. Chasowant3a nomination for the Presidency.” As to Han cock, Grant said: “Hancock is dying fora nomination.” Grant judges everybody by Him self. A Splendid Basket of peaches w&3 that brought tho writer by Mr. S. L Gustin, of Vineville. They comprised a few of tho varie ty kaown as Early Hale, but were mostly Ame lias—some of them between nine and ten Inches in circumference. Now wero artist to paint- just such a basket, with its gorgeous contrast of deep crimson and golden yellow, he wonld be accused of exaggeration. Pebsonal.—Mr. W. P. Copeland, of the New York Journal of Commerce, gave us a call yes terday. He is on a Southern tour to hunt up the K. K.’s and other objects'of interest,'and a true presentment make of them and every other matter that may serve to show the Northern folks tho true Southern sitnation. We are per suaded that he will do his duty without fear or favor, and that’s all we want. Death op Judge Humphbies.—Judge Thomas B. Humphries, of Jones county, died at his res idence on Saturday last, aged 72 years. He oc cupied a prominent position in. that connty for many years, filling suceesfolly the offices of Judge of tho Superior Court, State Senator and Sheriff. He was a worthy man, and his loss to his family and neighbors will be felt quite se verely. .. " - Going to Eubope.—Tho Commercial Adver tiser says thero is a great deal of European travel this summer. All the steamers go full, and pretty much oil is pleasure travel. Many persons make the trip and return by the same steamer. It oosts little more than the same time spent at a watering place. Resignation op Fish.—The New York Sun says Secretary Fish resigned his office on Satur day, May 27th, to take effect at some future day, and the resignation was. accepted on the 29th, and that at the last Cabinet meeting, Fish, although in Washington, was not present. United States Revenue Laws in Mexico.— Mexico is reported in Washington to be in a terrible ferment, and Ben Wade and Deaeon Richard Smith, with true Ohio instinot, have started for Vera Cruz to ran the mash off into whisky. E Plubibus Unuil—Wo have from Wooten Station, six large Early Goodrich potatoes all joined in one—the clomp probably weighing four pounds. Bent by Mr. G. O. Beal, of Lee county. The Ohio and Iowa Repnbliean Conventions both declared for Grant. Can’t Greeley carry a single State with all he knows about farming and keeping a hotel? How the Bottom Fell Out of New ^ . Jersey. Correspondents of the New York papers, last Thursday were, swarming the Morris Canal to learn the facts about the sudden absorption and disappearance into the bowels of the earth of about a mile and a half of that raging stream, inclosing half a million cubic feet of water," be. sides soil to match. It occurred on Monday morning, near Broadway,' a small village of Franklin township. Twelve canal boats were between the locks where the break occurred, pursuing their peaoeful way and thinking of nothing at all, when, all at onoa, the bottom- of the fell out—the bank gave way with a frightfal noise, and the boats found themselves rapidly drawn into a horrific maalstrom. As if that were not enough, an adjacent cornfield be gan to Bink in great circular holes of unknown depth aud twenty feet in diameter, some of which they have tried in vain to sound. The result was that the twelve canal boats lie stranded on the muddy bottom of the canal. The water is all gone no one knows whither, and workmen are now dumping clay to fill up those chasms which open down into the bowels of this planetary orb. Bnt this is not the worst of it. The whole earth’s surface in that region threatens to follow suit The people are nneasy and don’t know when they may go under.— Ground rents are getting to be donbtful secu rities. • Tho World says the mischief is attributed to tbe limestone formation of the country—a quick sand substratum and subterranean streams, abrading the limestoso crust, which wears through, give 3 way all at once, and then you don’t know where yon are going to. So long as the Camden and Amboy and Jersey Central owned tho country they had money enough to cork np these holes and keep New Jersey np to a surface exposure. Bat Bince the State has been leased to Hoolt and tho Pennsylvania Central, it doubtful whether they have got tho means, or the credit, or the will to prevent the State from sinking into a sort of subterranean liquidation. Under the circumstances New Jersey is thinking .about making her last will and testament, with Gov. Hoffman as principal Executor. The main property to be left behind will be a fine oyster bed, of a value enhanced by the fact that the contiguous beds near Long Island are dying ont. the GEORGIA. PRESS. in EDIT O It IA I, CORRESPONDENCE. Crop Situation In Southwestern Georgia. Cuthbebt, June 20,1871. Little apparent change has taken place in tho cotton prospect for the past week. Rains con tinue to be almost of daily occurrence, and vio lent wind storms have swept over some portions of tho country. Marshalville and vioinity was thus visited on Friday last, and a gentleman re siding there gives a most doleful account of both corn and cotton. Grass still maintains the ascendanoy almost everywhere, and hundreds of acres have utterly succumbed to it. We saw very lew blooms, and this day the average height of the cotton weed in Southwest Geor gia, will not exceed Jke inches. Com on sandy land3 has lost color from ex cessive rains, and will fall far short of its early promise. Much of this valuable crop cannot receive the last plowing, and will suffer to some extent in consequence. The supply of vegeta bles is almost without limit, and of fruit there will also be the greatest profusion. On Saturday morning, this community was startled with the intelligence that the Randolph jail, which was thought to be impregnable, had been broken open, and several notorious pris oners were sgnin at i&xga. It seems tho follow ing stratof'em was resorted to to effect this ob ject: Two of the Inmates who played the fiddle, proposed a dance to the other prisoners, mostly 8pgross, and obtaining the consent of the jailor, making at the same time as much noise as pos sible. Under c'over of the hubbub, in the room above, saws were diligently employed in remov ing a beam just under one of the windows, which, when out of tho way, enabled the oper ators to take ont the entire grate. "With the aid of their bed-clothes, escape was then no longer difficult. Tho annual commencements of both the fe male colleges (Methodist and Baptist) located here will come off this week, and mirth, gayety and pleasure will be the order of the day. Be sides the examinations and usual literary exer cises, a grand concert for the benefit of the music teachers, will come off in Andrew Ghapel on "Wednesday night, which promises to be a great success. President Seals also, of the Bap tist College, assisted by many accomplished amateurs, will render Bradbnry’s dramatic rep resentation of Esther, the Beautiful Queen, with proper costumes and scenic effect, in the Bap tist Church on Friday night. Many visitors are expected and we trust Ma con will be represented at both entertainments. H.H. J. The Episcopal Church in Georgia. The journal of the forty-ninth annual con vention of the Episcopal Church for the dio cese of Georgia, which baa just been published shows the total baptisms from May, 1$70 to May, 1871, to have been 550, and confirmations 282, Total communicants 3,220, Sunday-school schol ars 2,261, and teachers 307—clergymen 34. The whole amount of contributions from Com munion Aims, Missions, and other charitable objects, 854,240 19; contributions for the Widows’ and Orphans’ Fund for the year, $1,- 516 78, whole fund, $5,899 62; Bishop’s Fond, jt5,8G3 27. The Bishop of the diocese states that the in crease of the Church “has been greater than in any one year of its existence in Goorgia.” Macon and Western Railroad Lease. Action or the Stockholdebs.—At the meet ing of the stockholders of the Macon and West ern Railroad in this city yesterday, 18,2C1 ont of the 25,000 shares of stock were represented. A resolution instructing their Directory to con summate the lease to the Central Railroad in event the decision of the Supreme Court should permit, or otherwise to conform their action as nearly as possible to that result, was debated and passed by 11,036 votes against 7,225. We presume this edition will probably contain an official statement of the proceedings. A Distinction Without much Difference. Philosopher Tilton, of the Golden Age, says: “We are not opposed to Grant—we simply want his civil services to close with his present term.” Will Grant comprehend so nice a distinction as that ? We fear not. “I love thee, but never more be officer of mine,” is a parallel case from the great poet; bnt there’s no poetry in Grant’s composition. What he appreciates are horses, cigars, presents, and such like. Tilton’s objeo- lion to Grant is that, if renominated, the war most be fought over again, and the story of the bloody fend be in every Radical campaigner’s month. Rat that will not be a mere inoident of the campaign. It is Grant, Morton and But ler’s plan of the canvass. Habvabd Univeesity boasts of QOS students, of whom 452 are New Englanders and 18C out side barbarians. Dos t Foeget The Suffer.—We say again, don’t forget the Supper to be given next Fri day night, at Ayres’ Hall, by the ladies of the Mulberry Street Methodist Chnroh. It will be an elegant one, we are sure. Tbe young ladies of the Church, especially, are expected to do their foil duty. They have beenleft off the va rious committees in order that they may use their best energies in induoing the young gen tlemen to attend. Every young lady is expected to capture at least one masculine for the oeoa- sion. Mr. Salom Dntcher, formerly of the Augusta Constitutionalists, but now a writer for the New York World, was married to Miss Albena De Laigle, of Augusta, last Thursday. The Covington Enterprise has a mild fit of disgust of a “certain offioial not a thousand miles from Atlanta,” who made-a costly present to a church, and the next day went into bank ruptcy. Soarlet fever is rapidly abatldg in Cuthbert. Blakeley “accepts the situation,” unreserved ly—at leant some of her folks do. The local paper says “white men and niggers play cards together.” , . The Blakeley NewB tell the following story : A Model Creditor.—One of onrshopkeepers, some weeks ago, sold a dollar and forty centos worth of Ala to a Freednrfn, which "was to bo paid for the next day by nine o’clock, or the purchaser was to receive thirty-nine lashes on the bareback, with a buggy trace. Mr. Darby didn’t come to time by several days, but the oreditorwas determined on a fulfilment of the contract. So, on Tuesday last he laid violent hands on Mr. Nigger, and proceeded to exact the forfeiture. (Hie delinquent was loth to dis charge Ins debt in this way, but the creditor was inexorable, and came down on him for sixteen-— winch no doubt contained the full force of thir ty-nine—and afterwards proceeded to balance his books by profit and loss. A fire on Congress street, Savannah, Satur day morning, caused a loss of $10,000—build ings owned by Judge Law, stock by Henry Sack, dealer in hardware and tinware. A lumber (rain on the Central Railroad, hear Savannah, seriously damaged a small negro girl last Friday. She thought she could walk foster than the engine could run. Hons. H. W. Hilliard and J. W. EL Under wood, were the only members of the Board of Visitors appointed by Builook who attended the annual senior examination at Athens, last week. An Erie Canal engineer is in Augusta to ex amine and report upon the feasibility of widen ing the canal there. Says the Rome Commercial: Tom O’Connor and a friend were sleeping the hotel at Dalton, when a thief stole two hand red and fifty dollars. O’Connor walked down into the saloon of the hotel and looked around .awhile and finally walked up to a skooter stand ing by tbe bar and collaring him says; “You are the man that stole my money. Give it up.” And 7 the man, suro enough, pulled it out and paid it over. The Oglethorpe Manufacturing Company, of Augusta, was organized last Saturday by the election'of the following officers: For President—Jas. J. Gregg. For Directors —G. T. Jackson, T. G. Barrett, J. W. Bones, Jno. P. King, John J. Cohen, W. H. Goodrich, Chas. J. Jenkins, Henry Moore, Michael O’Dowd, Edw. Thomas, Adam Johnson and Jo- siah Sibley. Mr. L. A. Falligant, of Savannah, offers to give tho site-for the erection of a Home for the widows and orphans of printers, if tho “craft” of that city will raise $5000 for the building. A run-off on tbe "White Bluff branch of the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Railway, on Saturday, resulted in breaking the leg of fireman, named Williams, in three places. Dr. Johd B. Baird, Sr., formerly of Colum bus, but recently of Atlanta, died in the latter city, on Saturday. A LaGrange man is whooping over the pos session of a hen that ha3 laid 84 eggs in 100 days, and she’s still “at it” and never clucks. We learn from the Atlanta Era that a number of sohools in thiSvState are adopting tho Harper series of school books. The Harpers have been such good friends of Southern folks that this way of showing gratitude almost moves ns to team. Another National Bank, with a capital of $250,000, will soon go into operation at Augusta, Before the war, Augusta had $12,000,000 bank- than $i‘06o,tM w * counting this new bank, less The Lumpkin Telegraph is responsible for the following: A Curiosity.—Mr. Morton, living near here, has an old hen, which has furnished many an egg for a Christmas nog, that has how quit lay ing altogether, has a beautiful tail growing ont, equal to any rooster’s, beats any rooster on tbe place crowing, and pairs off and associates with hens alone. In other words she has turned to a complete rooster. This transformation is quite common at the North, bnt we have never heard of a case in Georgia, before. Manners and customs in Stewart county are rather quaint. Impecunious parties visit poor lone widows and, by threats and the assistance of a complaisant magistrate, force her to sign* away to them a deed to all her properly. Elbert county buttermilk has a strange effect oh the Good Templars up there. It makes them fight, and fall out of buggies, and sprain their hands. Columbus is all agog over a peach pealing ma chine that takes the jacket off a half bushel, in just two minutes. Our friend Lamar, formerly of the Columbus Son, is proring himself-an eminent "success as a peach grower. The Enquirer sayB he has brought the finest to that market it has seen this season. Columbus bad no ice Saturday, and the howls of the “smilera” were fearful. Musoogee Superior Court has just adjourned after a session of five weeks, at a cost to the oounty of. $90 a day. That eminent statesman, Foster Blodgett, is in trouble, again, as we judge from the follow ing from the Atlanta Constitution, of Sunday The State Road Lease—Seago, Wallace, Wyly & Co., Discard Foster Blodgett.—The following is a true extract from the minutes of their Company: Col. Foster Blodgett— Sir: At a full meeting of our Company, held thik day, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Respectfully, A. K. Seago, J. R. Wallace, A. C. Wyly, B. , Wyly, T. J.. Hightower, John Collier, S. B. Hoyt, J. H. Harwell. And their associates. Whereas, It la our opinion that Foster Blod gett is exerting all his energies secretly, for the purpose of defeating our Company in scouring their rights as the lawful lessees of the Western and Atlantio Railroad; and Whereas, We cannot resist the conviction that his real interests are with, the present lessees; Therefore resolved, That Foster Blodgett be, and be is, hereby discharged from our Company. An old gentleman named Borden was knocked down and robbed, near Cave Spring, last Thurs day, of $405. The Rome Commercial, of Fri day, says he will certainly die, and that the murderer is a negro named Anderson Prior. The Atlanta Constitution, in response to a re quest from the Savannah News, gives some sta tistics of Bnllock’s exercise of the pardoning power. It says: The Governor has acted on 426 applications for pardon Bince August 29, 1868. Of these 321 cases, involving 346 offenders were par doned, 72 applications were refused and 33 punishments commuted. At this time 163 ap plications for pardons are before the Governor. Tbe following is the classification: Murder, par doned, 48; murder, commuted, 18; simple lar ceny, pardoned, 76; other larceny, 14; assault to murder, 20; burglary in the night, 18: bur glary in the day, 15; manslaughter, 15; assault, 20; assault to rape, 5; homicide, 1; cheating and swindling, 8; stabbing, 3; horse-stealing, 7; bigamy, G; forgery, 4; perjury, 3; rob bery, 8; fortification and adultery, 7; seduc tion, 1; incestuous adultury, 1; arson, 5; mis demeanor, 9; bastardy, 1; rape, 1; compound ing felony, 1. The other cases making the 346 are minor offenses. The Augusta Constitutionalist, of Bunday, says the prospeots of the people of Georgia are more jromieing now than at any time rinoe the war. 't learns from the cotton factors of that city that planters as a class have not asked for half the amount of advances this season that Jthey required last year; they have managed with less than half they bought in 1870, and that half has been purchased at fully a third less rate than paid last year. . - . BY TELEGRAPH. Cotton Movements for tbe Week. New Yobk,- June 25.—The cotton movements for the week show A continued decrease in re ceipts, which thin week are the smallest ainoe the figures commenced to Bhow a falling off. Exports, on the contrary, are nearly double those of last week, and more than t wioe the ship ments for the corresponding week last year. Receipts at all the ports 22,664 bales against 24,046 bales last week, 28,126 bales the previous week and 36,402 three weeks since. Total re ceipts since September 3,869,944 bales, against 2,813,323 bales the corresponding period of the previous year. Exports from all -the ports 38,- 914 bales, against 19,895 last year. Total ex ports for tbe expired portion of the cotton year are 3,046,915 bales, against 2,042,183 the same time last year. Stocks at all the ports are 204,- 593 bales, against 206,805 the same time last year. Stooks at interior towns 16,947 bales, against 42,801 last year. Stock in Liverpool 909,000 bales, against 642,000 last year. Ameri can cotton afloat for Great Britair\102,000 bales, against 100,000 bales. Indian ootton afloat for Europe 481,285 bales, against 350,638 last year. The weather South has been rainy in many sec tions, bnt there have been no severe storms. In some sections tho plant is looking better. -The Express says reliable advices confirm their pre vious reports that the late plantings of cotton were not successful, and have been given up, and also that a very large area of land has been planted with com. The South will also produce this year a considerable amonnt of bacon which, in connection with the com crop, will place the planters in a mnch more independent position than for two years past. The advices from In dia are unfavorable, and altogether it looks as if the price of cotton will help the Southern plantors and compensate in part for any de crease in the production. " New Yobk, Jane 25.—Coiton has been less active, and tho speculation excitement has en tirely subsided. Many of the bears have cover ed their short contracts for future delivery, and the market is now without much short interest. This has caused a decline in future cottons in which spot cottons have sympathised. The transactions for the week reached 94,500 bales, of which 84,000were for future delivery and 10,- 500 on the spot and to arrive. Of spot cotton exporters took about 100 bales, spinners 4,200, and speculators 1,700 bales. The Jnly disbursements for interest and div idends now near at hand, are beginning to ex cite discussion iff financial ciroles as to the pay ment of the enormous amounts of money which uill be paid ont at this and other points. The July disbursements at the Treasury for the in terest on the public debt, will be in round num bers $35,000,000, including $1,914,000 cur rency. The interest on the several Paoifio Rail roads increases the amonnt exaotly $29,817,000, being the semi-annualintereston 1,000,000,000, or just about half the interest bearing debts. There we will be, also, payment in July on $187,- 000,000 of tbe debts of the several States, amount ing to over $7,066,000, and on $155,000,000 of the debts of our largest cities a July interest payment of over $4,160,000, making a total of more than $40,000,000 from the three above men tioned sources, or from tho general government States and cities.

Johnson, of Macon, A. very largo. and attentive congregation I greeted this gentleman in Cuthbert the past Sabbath. His remarks were based upon Romans | 12th chapter and last clause of the 10th verse: “In honor preforing one another.” The Bible, that talisman of the believer, and I most ancient and wonderfnl of all books, was eloquently commented upon by the reverend speaker, and its priceless treasures laid bare to human observation. In it is concentrated ail | earthly wisdom; while the sin-sick soul, over whelmed by guilt and sorrow, : can alone find I healing and consolation in that sacred fonn-1 tain whioh flows from Calvary’s crest.
