MACON SEPTEMBER 5,
News Items.
“Hardening.”—Cotton was hardening yester
day in Liverpool. We have no doubt they will
fhi-nfc it a hard case before the winter is over.
Assaulting the Ku-klux.—It seems from the
telegrams that the Danville niggers had a grand
battle-royal with the Ku-klux, last Thursday
night, and hurt themselves.
Butler.—The World,- of Saturday, thinks
Butler will succeed in getting the nomination of
the Massachusetts Badical Convention for Gov
ernor, but cannot say whether it is more to the
interest of the Democrats that Butler should get
the nomination, or run as a third candidate.
Selma.—The Selma Times, of Saturday, says
there were several farmers in the city yesterday
with very long faces on account of the depreda
tions of the army worm. We see from the
some paper that the cotton receipts of the year
np to that date were 87,088 bales.
Advertising.—The Picayune says the sheriff
of New Orleans has been directed to assess and
oollect from each tay payer in default three do!
lars for the publication of his name in the list.
An there are 9000 names, the charge for the ad'
vertisement, which only appeared in one Badi
cal sheet—the Bepnblican—is $27,000.
Whebe is the Civil Eigats Bill ?—A Major
General and a Captain of the Massachusetts
colored volunteers, W6re excluded from the
grand Long Branch ball night before last, right
under the shadow of the illustrious Grant!
Where are equality and de fifteemph ’menment
now ? What did Major General Gumbo say to
that?
Still on Their Winding Wat.—We see by a
letter in a Washington paper that those errant
Knights of the Temple are still on their winding
way towards the Holy Land, and have got as far
as Italy. They have seen all the lions—Vesu
vius, Herculoum, Pompeii, the groves of Sor
rento, tho tomb of Virgil, etc. At Borne they
saw all the religions marvels—the dungeon
where St. Peter was incarcerated—the fountain
miraculously called into existence that he might
baptize his jailors—the chains that rusted round
his sacred body—the spurs of the cock that
crowed thrice when Peter denied his Lord, and
so on. No doubt the Knights promise them
selves a high old time trouting in the Jordan or
fox-hunting on tho Mount of Olives.
“Da. Livingstone Heard From.”—How many
times has the newspaper press of all civilization
written that heading in the last two years ? and
yet no Dr. Livingstone oomes. A London tele
gram of yesterday says he is slowly making his
way homeward. We hope so, but are distressed
by doubts. It must bo confessed that he is
very slow in making his way. To our certain
knowledge he wa3 at Ujijijijijiji "making his
way homo” more than a year ago. The road
from that place leads through Dead Man’s
Biver, Cannibal Swamp, Fizen Arrow Slough,
Blood Sacking Galley and through the Fetish
Trail. If Dr. Livingstone survives these hor
rors, let him wisely resolve to leave Africa to
the Africans hereafter forever. But our private
opinion is that he was cooked and eaten two
years ago.
Deduction of Bailway Fakes.—The Eailway
Commissioners of Massachusetts have issued a
circular recommending a general reduction of
freights and fares, on the ground of diminished
cost of railway supplies and furniture. They
say the locomotives, which formerly cost §30,-
000, cost but §12,000; American rails, which,
six years ago, cost §90 per ton, now sell for be
tween §C0 and §70; foreign rails have fallen
in price in the same proportion as gold; fuel,
which, during the war, cost §12 per ton, now
costs §8; steel has fallen even more than iron,
and a sensible redaction has taken place in
nearly every article of railroad supply, while on
the other hand, since the year 18G0, the gross
earnings of the railroads in Massachusetts have
icereasod from §9,000,000 to §25,000,000 an
nually, and their net earnings from less than
§3,000,000 to considerably over §0,000,000.
The Female Crispins.—The female shoemak
ers of Lynn were enjoying themselves last week
in a series of mass meetings denouncing their
employers, who insist on two weeks’ notice
before they quit work. The resolutions would
do credit to Wendell Phillips. They are models
in the way of "a setting down.” The speeches
were still more excoriating. If the boss shoe
makers do not give in now they are equally
fearless and obstinate.
Poisoning.—The rage for poisoning seems to
have extended to the Northern negroes. ' Last
week a colored woman in Port Chester, New
York, was nnder investigation for poisoning her
daughter—a married woman—the wife of one
James Anthony.
The Bising in Spain.—Don Carlos, who is
now running tho Ells Bestaurant and Family
Grocery on Mulberry street, wishes it under
stood that he has nothing to do with the pres
ent Carlist rising in Spain. He has enough on
his hands receiving goods and famishing up for
a trade campaign this winter, without meddling
with Spanish politics. Tho men who are using
his name to justify their raid into Spain are
imposters.
Health or Charleston.—The Bepnblican, of
Monday, takes a very cheerful view of the situ
ation. That paper says the fever has not yet
beoome epidemic. Only a few new cases have
been reported for the past two or three days,
and these of a mild type and due simply to local
causes. Meanwhile, vigorous efforts to cleanse
and disinfect all unclean localities are in pro
gress, and the people are calm and unapprehen
sive.
We hope the Charleston papers will print
daily official reports of the condition. This
they should do strictly as a defensive measure.
The plain, actual truth, whatever it may be, is
better for the city than rumors which will cer
tainly supply its place, if the facts are withheld.
We are hopeful that the disease will prove merely
spasmodic, and all anxiety abate in a few days.
No Harm to be Clean, but really our con
temporaries in Montgomery and Selma seem
to us over keen in their scent of danger, when
they speak of their liability to fever infeotion
from Charleston.
The Suez Canal.—Ferdinand de Lesseps,
President of the Suez Canal Company, has,
under date of July 24th, 1871, written a letter
to a prominent citizen of New York, refuting
the statement that the Suez Canal is filling up,
and will probably become useless. De Lesseps
asserts that the deposits of sand brought in by
the wind are insignificant, and that the sides <5f
the basin are so solid that the outlines project
ing at different points, after eighteen months’
use, present scarcely a perceptible variation in
the conformation of the slope. This state of
affairs, it is said, was reoently reported to a gen
eral meeting of the stockholders.
Improved Huckleberries.—In our time the
polite way of spelling them used to be “ whor
tleberries”—but now they have come down to
plain “ huokleberriea.” What we want to say is
that in Stafford, Virginia, they have crossed the
native beny with a wild sour berry found orig-
^oridi, and are now producing
a huckleberry larger than fox grapes which
they manufacture into a splendid wine. The
color of the berry is a deep purple.
Newspapers in Montgomert.—The Advertiser
prints a list of the newspapers which have
been started and perished in Montgomery np to
the year I860. There are only twenty-nine of
ilwm. Maoon can beat that.
A New and Danger one Badical Trick
One of our merchants received yesterday a
package inclosing five pamphlets, and a circular
marked “confidential ,” requesting him as a
prominent friend of the “Lost Cause,"to circu
late these pamphlets with secrecy and care. The
pamphlet is a performance in eleven pages en
titled “Concession, or haw the Lost Cause may
be Regained and the Independence of the South
Secured. Being an Address to my Fellow-coun
trymen by a Conccssionist. Published by the
Southern Association." Part First of the pam
phlet, rebukes and refutes the idea that South
ern Independence t’j a lost cause, and on the
oontrary, asserts that the war and its sacrifices
made the South a nation; that we have nothing
in common with the North except language;
and that the Union must necessarily be tempo
rary and dangerous to both sections.
Part seoond undertakes to show how Southern
independence can be secured. The first step,
says the writer, “is to turn our backs upon the
venal, false-hearted, Yankee new departure de
mocracy of the North.” "Let us be true to
ourselves. Shame on the false, craven-hearted
Southerner *who accepts the situation,’ when
that situation is one of dependence and slavery
to a Northern conqueror.” Concentrate all your
energies and attention upon your own domestic
political affairs.” “Use all the powers left you to
seize upon the several State governments and
then unite and demand your rights." “In order
that you, my fellow countrymen, may fully real
ize the glorious opportunity which now offers,
permit me, more in detail, to point ont the mode
by which the loss cause may be regained." And
then the writer gives this process: First, over
turn, by peaceable means all the Badical State
Governments in the South—and put Southern
men in all the offices. Then, second, call a
convention of the States, and elect the Presi
dent of a Southern Confederacy who is only to
be inaugurated when the independence of the
South is acknowledged. Third, send a com
mission to Washington and demand indepen
dence. Then we shall be told “wayward sis
ters, depart in peace.” The North is tired of
war—everybody would unite in a peace party
and tho concession would at last be made.
_ Part third is addressed to the people of the
North, and argues, after a fashion, the policy
and duty ef conceding the independence of the
Southern States,
The pamphlet is a farago of bluBter and ba
thos. It is stamped -throughout with hollow
ness and insincerity. There is not a doubt in
our mind that it is a Radical trick, devised to
sustain the assertions of Morton and the ultra-
Badicals that the Southern Democraoy is a rev
olutionary party, still hatching treasonable de
signs against the union of the States, and that
the success of the Democracy North or South
will be followed by the renewal of tho attempt
to secede.
Neither pamphlet nor circular give any name
or clue to responsibility. The circular is dated
“Booms of the Southern Convention, New
York,” and both pamphlet and circular are da
ted August, 1871. It is a shallow device of
most unscrupulous partisans, but will serve its
object and probably in a few days the Northern
and Western Badical papers will be copying it
in full and sending it ont among their readers
as a gennine “Secret Circular”—disclosing
the irreconcilable animosity of the Southern
people to peace and harmony in the union of
the States, and new plans for the final accom
plishment of secession.
Cotton Figures and Speculations.
The Financial and Commercial Chronicle’s
table of visible supply last Friday night, shows
1,719,300 bales, against 1,430,322 at the same
date last year—indicating 288,979bales increase.
Last week 302,398—the week before, 355,700—
showing a gradual decline.
The New York business of tho week was small
—the actual sales being only 7,081 bales. The
sales of futures (sham sales) amounted to 84,150
bales, in which low middlings closed—for Au
gust at 18c; September 18}; October 18£;
November 18 1-1G; January 18£. The futures
are candidates for future punishment in more
senses than one. A slight upward turn in the
New York market daring the week was noted,
as the result of tho Associated Press telegrams
about caterpillars, which alarmed the Liverpool
dealers, who are sensitive in respect to the in
creased consumption in this country and in
Europe. The Chronicle considers all these re
ports premature.
The weather reports show severe storms,
confined principally to the Atlantio seaboard.
It rained four days at Macon, two at Columbus,
and delightful showers have extended over the
interior of Alabama. At Mobile, New Orleans,
Galveston and Memphis there had been no rain.
Galveston telegraphs that it was feared the dry
weather would destroy the middle and top crops.
Caterpillars had appeared in nearly all the
Southern States, but they always appear every
summer, and in sections suffering with dry
weather it was improbable that they should in*
crease so as to become a pest. The mercury
averaged at Memphis 78, Charleston 80, Maoon
82, Columbus 84, Selma 90, Montgomery 87,
Mobile 85, Galveston 80.
J. S. Schofield de Son.
The admirably arranged, and complete ma
chine shops and foundry of these enterprising
citizens, are famous throughout the South and
West.
The junior, Mr. J. B. Schofield, gives his un
divided attention to the business, and is indefat
igable in bis efforts to please. As an evidence
of the great popularity and success of their cot
ton press, over seven hundred were ereoted in
every section of the country last year, without
a solitary rejection or note of disapprobation.
Among their patrons may be mentioned the
name of Mr. David Dickson, who has several of
these screws in use, and has reoently ordered
two additional ones.
The pattern room of this establishment is a
perfect curiosity shop. An almost infinite va
riety of modem inventions and ornamental and
useful castings are represented here.
Those wanting iron rulings or machinery of
any description may depend upon having all
orders filled with dispatch and in the neatest
style. Macon has cause to be justly proud of
her numerous work shops and foundries.
Tornado In Telfair County.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : Between
the hours of 4 and 5 o’clock f. m., on the 25th
instant, a tornado passed through the upper
part of Telfair and the lower part of Dodge
counties, which was exceedingly violent. It
commenced In Telfair, sweeping everything
before it to the width of two hundred and fifty
yards. It passed through a piney woods conn*
try for some ten miles, and along its path the
trees were broken and blown down—falling in
every direction. It made a clean sweep of ev
erything. Even the bashes that stood in the
branches, were mostly broken down or blown
up by the roots along its path. Fortunately
there were no farms or dwellings in its course,
or they would have been utterly destroyed.
— T * a Ifc
“Ode Saturday Night. This is the name
of a weekly Southern journal which Messrs.
Lines, Wing & Smith propose to establish in
Maoon on or abont the 1st day of next October,
at §2 per annum. It is to be conducted by
Bridges W. Smith, and printed in eight pages
folio. The first nnmber will open with an orig
inal story, called “Lilian; or the GJpsey Mys
tery.”
The Next Legislature.
We think the people of Georgia may safely
congratulate themselves upon the Reoomplishr-
ment of muoh hard and useful work by the Leg
islature that will assemble on the first day of
November next. From what we know and hear,
it has been already determined that economy
»hali be the watchword in every department it
can reach.. There will be no jobs and no steal
ing, nnder any sort of cover, no matter how
specious. Some members may waste time
and money in. foolish prattle for prattle’s sake
and to hear the sound of their own voioes, but
they will hardly waste it in any other way. The
men who are “on the make” in tho next Legis
lature, if, indeed, there be any outside the few
Badioals who have seats therein, will have
small show and less countenance from the vast
majority of their fellows. Whatever may be the
faults of omission or commission with which the
future shall credit this Legislature, we feel very
confident that what is known in trewly loyl par
lance as “developing the people’s resources”
will not be among them. Sorely this will be
a wonderful and most weloome step forwards,
when contrasted with the corrupt practices and
shameful profligacy of the things called Legisla
tures that have ruled and robbed the tax payers
of Georgia since the reconstruction deviltry was
set up among us,
As to the particular measures that will come
before the Legislature as matters demanding
speedy and earnest action, and reform from the
root up, we do not deem their enumeration
necessary at this time. We think, though, that
thefirststepinthe great work ought to com*
mence with fixing the per diem and mileage of
the members themselves, the number and pay
of the employees of the two Houses, and the
profits of the public printing business. These
matters will necessarily require early consider
ation, and if the right start is made with them,
the chances are that the same policy will pre
vail on other questions, and to the end. Five
dollars a day and actual travelling expenses
arc ample compensation for members, and that
per diem for clerks is every cent that sort of
service is worth. The clerk, messenger and door
keeper service of both Houses should not cost
one dollar over §5,000 6ven with a sixty days
session. As to the publio printing, a great leek
can and must be stopped there. A great deal of
illegitimate money has been made out of it
since 1868, but if the Legislature does its duty—
and our frith is very lively that it will—no more
will flow into anybody’s pooket from this source*
We don’t know who 13 after this little plum,
nor do we care; but we think, we may safely
assure them that it will not be near so desirable
as nnder the trewly loyl regime. The State’s
printing ought not to cost anymore than any
private individual’s or corporation’s printing,
especially at this time of financial stress. Let
the Legislature in this, as in all other matters
remember hou> poor the people are, and they
cannot go very far wrong. We have abiding
confidence that results will demonstrate that
our, and thepeople’s faith in its good intentions
has not been misplaced.
That “Strictly Confidential” Pam
phlet Again.
We find in Wednesday morning’s mail ample
confirmation of the uses to which that bogus
and fraudulent secession pamphlet noticed yes
terday are to be applied. The New York Her
ald of Sunday is flaming with it. That paper
copies it in full, and treats It gravely, as really
the production of “one of the most distinguished
of Georgia’s statesmen” and charges it upon Mr.
Stephens.
We hazard nothing in the assertion that the
Herald, if he does not know better, is at least
morally certain that the pamphlet is not the
work of Mr. Stephens, or of any other man
holding fealty or affection to the South. It is
the work of a base plotter in the interests of the
Grant Badicals, and intended still farther to
poison and exasperate the minds of the North
ern people against the unhappy South. It is
strictly in the line of Morton’s tactics for the
next Presidential election, and is designed to
co-operate with the Ku-klux reports and mani
festoes in hinging the whole canvass on section
al hostility, and rousing to new life and ardor
the smouldering embers of civil strife.
If the New York and Northern Democracy fail
to track this pamphlet back to its secret, false
and malignant sources, and bring them to the
light of tho day, they will be untrue to them
selves and to their country; and if, on the other
hand, they shall be able to expose these wretch
ed plotters—these traders in national discord,
disorder and calamity, they will in that single
act have laid bare to the scorn of all patriotio
and right-minded men, the true animus of the
Grant and Morton Badicals.
The Herald calls this “An Astounding Pro
gramme— though "perfectly absurd/” and then
proceeds to say that “it has all the ear-marks
of a Southern manifesto," and to deolare that
it harmonizes strictly with the course of Mr.
Stephens in the Atlanta Sun, and the speeches
of Mr. Jefferson Davis. Mr. Stephens and “the
South” will hardly thank him for the compli
ment. Whatever may have been heretofore
oharged to Southern statesmanship, “perfect
absurdity” is certainly a new count in the in
dictment. Only once doe3 the Herald betray
its oonviotion that the pamphlet is an emanation
of Badical villainy, and that is in the last sen
tence of his editorial:
“If there is any man within this call who
knows that this is not a Southern manifesto let
him speak; for we learn that this pamphlet is
even now in course of distribution to all the
known friends of the “lost cause”—North,
South, East and West.
That, perhaps, is sufficient to show the moral
conviction of the Herald. We did not “know"
that this was not a Southern manifesto, but he
felt as sure of the faet as we do. We repeat—
let Northern Democrats trace this foul conspi
racy to its source and hold up its authors to the
reprobation of mankind.
“ " ••• " «
Specimen of Chicago Reverence
for the Bible.
We reprint the following from the Ghioago
Times of the 21st inst.:
The Macon Telegraph, a Georgia newspaper
concern that appears to come down to the pres
ent time with ideas borrowed from an era con
siderably anterior to the soriptural deluge, talks
of negro slavery as “a system sanctioned by the
Great Jehovah himself, under which our fathers
prospered so muoh, and were universally reoog-
nized as the noblest type of the human race.”
But this was not the only “peculiar institution,”
which, if we believe all that one reads in the
productions of the ancient Hebrew scribes, was
“sanctioned by the Great Jehovah.” There is
rather convincing evidence that Mormonism
was one of the sanctioned systems of that re
mote age and peculiar people; and some of the
iratical exploits of that prince of freebooters,
iing David, though evidently “sanctioned,”
if the historians are trustworthy, would hardly
meet with enoouragement from the civilization
of the present time. Are the newspapers at
Maoon, in Georgia, aware of the faot that this
is the nineteenth century of the Christian era ?
Do they think Methuselah is still living?
We are indeed painfnlly admonished of the
fact that “this is the nineteenth century,” by
the blasphemy, and ribaldry of this Chicago
editor, who is a fitting representative of the
modem Sodom, where, judging from divorce
laws and records, even one wife is regarded a
nuisanoe, and free love is the order of the day.
We suppose his “civilization of the present
time” means “the higher law,” spiritualism,
bloomerum, miscegenation, and lOBt, bat not
least, universal suffrage for women, negroes,
Chinese, Indians and pardoned criminals.
If these are the reforms which are to supplant
and succeed the holy oracles of God, our Chi
cago man is weloome to the whole batch. We
of the South are satisfied with the bible as it is,
and only mourn the departure politically trom
the Constitution of our fathers.
THE GEOB6IA PRESS.
The Quitman Banner grumbles prodigiously
over the tax returns of that county forl87I
which show a decrease in value of §247,233
since last year, and also - a- diminution of 411
polls sinoe the same time. The Banner says
is a no such thing.
The Quitman cotton factory is progressing
finely. The first story has been completed
and the building will be ready for the machinery
by the last of the year. A warehouse one
hundred feet square is also being rapidly fin
ished.
The Banner says the aooonnts from every
portion of Brooks and neighboring oounties is,
that the cotton “has been very materially in
jured by the boll worm and rust. Many plant
ers wi!l not make the fourth cf their usual crop.
Consequently the people are very despondent
as to the future. Oar planting friends in the
counties of Madison and Jefferson, Florida, are
not suffering to the same extent as the Geor
gian^ Many planters in those counties will
make an average crop.” , ; .
The Banner tells the following story of a bar
room wedding in Quitman, a few weeks ago:
A white man was confined in jail to answer
an indictment by a grand jury. He could not
procure bail; so a young girl, who was partially-
instrumental in his incarceration, sympathized
with, and proposed to marry him, provided his
custodians woujd release him. The arranp
ment was satisfactory; and the parties repa
ing to a bar-room, a Justice of the Peace speed
ily united them in wedlock. At its conclusion,
the fair bride turned to her groom, and with a
significant nod saluted him thusly: “Jim, you
are now free, and you may thank me for re
leasing you from jail, but I’ll be derned if I’m
going to live with you I”
The whole or a half interest in the L&Grange

The Atlanta papers, of yesterday, say that
Bullock has not returned from New York, as
they had previously announced. They gener
ally do go off half-cooked.
Monroe and Baldwin Superior Oouits are in
session this week. In tho latter the Snead,
Strother—who killed Captain Lewis Kenan-
and Mims eases, excite considerable interest.
The late rains destroyed a great deal of fod
der in Spalding county.
A squad of Yankee cavalry passed through
Griffin Sunday night, but they wouldn’t tell
their destination or errand. Barns and fences
had better look out, though.
Meriwether county has subscribed $60,000 to
the Columbus and Borne railway.
The Star says there is a greater demand for
store houses in Griffin now, than at any time
since the war.
Dr. A. H. Hatton killed a grey eagle measur
ing five feet ten iuehes from tip to tip of its
wings, on his plantation, near Griffin, last week.
The Griffin Star informs us that “one of the
regular all day, old fashioned singings, better
known as Buckwheat or square notes, will be
held at Tirzah Church, six miles above this
place, on the Maoon and Western Bailroad, on
next Sunday. All the big singers throughout
the country will be on hand.”
We suppose tho Barnesville Gazette will at

The trial of W. D. B. Millar, of Savannah,
on a charge of cheating and swindling the State
of Georgia out of §7,500, was commenced at
Atlanta, on Monday. Mullins, the man who
was arrested here, has given bond in the sum
of §2,500 to appear for trial.
Forty-five cents’ worth of Atlanta benzine in
troduced a one-legged ex-Gonfederate soldier
from Texas to the police of that city, on Mon

contents.
We find the following letter in the Constitu
tion, of yesterday. When Blodgett talks of co
operating with honest men in exposing the

Office Sup’t. Western and Atlantio B. B.,7
Atlanta, Ga., August 28, 1871. j
Eon. U. P. Farroio, Attorney Western and
Atlantic Railroad.—Dear Sib : I have read with
much interest the correspondence between your
self and the late discharged book-keeper of the
road in relation to the custody of the books,
and heartily approve and fully endorse your
course. There was no desire on my part to se
crete, alter, take away, mutilate or destroy any
book or paper belonging to the road, and my
whole object in turning them over to you was
to have them in such hands as to prevent this
being done by others.
You have called on Messrs. Hammock, Bed-
wine and Bawson to be present with you during
the handling of tho books. To this I have no
objection, for though personally acquainted with
only one of these gentlemen, (Mr. Bawson,)
still I know them by reputation, and am satisfied
that they will honestly discharge the duties de
volved upon them, and in that they shall have
my cheerful and cordial co-operation. Anything
that I can do for their comfort, while engaged
in this duty, will be done with pleasure; and if
agreeable to yon, I would respectfully suggest
that you offer them the Attorney-General’s
office in which to keep such books and papers
os tho appointed book keepers may desire to re
fer to. I desire to say that I wish every courtesy
extended to these gentlemen, and to you as well
as to all citizens who may desire to examine
any of the books or papers of tho Western and
Atlantio Eailrpad. Very truly yours,
Foster Blodgett,
Superintendent Western and Atlantio Bailroad.
A couple of festive youths of the African per
suasion rocked a train on the Eatonton branch
railway one day last week, but the conductor
stopped the train, the passengers got out and
caught them, and organizing a syndicate, ad
ministered a sound thrashing.
A gentleman stopping at the Eatonton hotel
was robbed of §75 one night last week by a
negro employee, who was arrested and put in
jaiL Forty or fifty dollars were recovered.
The Savannah News, of Tuesday, says:
The Atlantio and Gulf Bailroad all Bight
Again—News from Other Boads South.—The
Atlantic and Gulf Bailroad is still cut in two,
much to the inconvenience of the people along
the route. Superintendent Haines with a large
force of workmenis engaged along the line, mak
ing every effort to place the road in good order.
From the last accounts received in this city (at
6:30 p. m. yesterday) we learn that there are
still two impassable washes, and that the trains
on each end of the line cannot approach nearer
than a mile of each other, and that transfers
will have to be made by means of hand-cars
aoross the washes. The washes are at tho Great
Satilla river and at a culvert a mile west of the
bridge. It is expeoted that by to-night the road
will be passable and that no farther delay will
be occasioned.
Trains left last night onregular schedule time,
and transfers will be made early in the morning.
The train due yesterday arrived about twelve
o’clock last night. We hope to be able by our
next issue to report the entire line of road in
good order.
From the Florida Bailroad we have advices
that nearly every culvert and bridge is destroyed,
and that it will be several days before trains can
be rub over tbe road.
The Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Bail
road is reported to be in a fair condition, but
still not in as good repair as before the storm.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Tuesday, says
the Charleston train of the night before was al
lowed to enter the city without being inspected
or fumigated by the Health Officer, which neg-
ligenoe is severely condemned.
New crop oranges from Florida have made
their appearance in the Savannah market.
We clip the following items from the Savan
nah News, of Tuesday:
Death by Laudanum.—An inquest was held
yesterday by Dr. B. F. Sheftali, coroner, on the
body of Mr. James F. Murphy, of this city, who
died from the effects of an overdose of lauda
num administered by himself on Sunday. We
learn that Mr. Morphy was fonnd on Sunday
afternoon by some friends lying in the street,
and they supposing that he was only overcome
by drink, took him into a store near by and laid
him down where he could sleep off its effects.
They returned several times, and the last time
JS : m
ton was immediately called in, and pronounoed
him in a dying oondltion, the laudanum having
taken such effect on his system as to render it
useless to use an antidote. Everything how
ever was done that could be to save him, but
without avail, and he died yesterday morning at
7 o’clock. - • >i -vT mot:

early decease.
We quote, as follows, from the Republican,
same dat6:
The Storm in Florida.—All acoounia, both
private and official, which have reached us rel
ative to the storm in Florida, represent the
damage done as fearful. We conversed with a
gentleman who reaohed here yesterday by a
round about route, who says that the whole
country is under water. All the springs have
closed up in consequence, and the damage to
the crops has been incalculable. The train
which left here at 10:15 Sunday night had not
reached its destination yesterday at 5 f. m. , and
it is supposed that it has been stopped by break
ages in the road, resulting from the deluge of
waters which has fallen daring the last two days.
The wireB are down, and no telegraphio com
munication has reached the railroad authorities
regarding the cause of the detention.
Narrow Esoafe.—On Sunday afternoon the
child of Sheriff Barthelmess, while attending
the Sunday-school at the Lutheran Church, had
a very narrow escape of her life under the fob
lowing eircumstanoes: She had gone to tho
church in company with a young lady, and while
in the act of leaving the church she stepped
through the opening between the gallery floor
and the window, and was precipitated below, a
distance of fourteen feet. Fortunately, or we
should say providentially, no bones were broken,
and beyond some severe braises no serious, in
jury was sustained. What is somewhat singu
lar, coinoidently, is the fact that exactly two
years ago, when this little child was two years
of age, she. came near meeting her death by fall
ing from the stoop of her fathers house to the
pavement below, a distance of fifteen feet, with
out sustaining any serious injury.
Damage to the Bice Crop.—The damage to
the rice crop, from the recent storms prevail
ing in this vicinity, has been more serious than
was at first anticipated. The forward riee,
which had been out and was lying in the fields
stacked, was totally swept away. We have seen
letters from two heavy planters, who estimate
their loss of the grain thus harvested in the
aggregate between eight and nine thousand
bushels. Other planters have doubtless loat cor
respondingly. . The growing crop, not cut, has
not been so generally destroyed, but has been
seriously injuredboth in the head and the stjaw,
from long continuance of the wind and water.
Milledgeville has worms—lots of them—about

Important Chattahoochee Bives Improve
ment—Bailroad Extension to Pensacola and
Mobile.—A party of 35 or 40 Western stone
masons and bridge builders, under charge of
Mr. C. L. Chase, were in Columbns on Sunday
en route for Chattahoochee, Fla., to work upon
the railroad and steamboat wharf at that plaoe,
being built under the auspices of the Jackson
ville, Pensacola and Mobile Bailroad. These
mechanics will be met at Chattahoochee by as
many more, who have gone via Florida.
From Capt. L. E. O’Keefe, who is well posted
in the plans of the company, we learn that these
mechanics are going to work at once on a splen
did covered rock wharf, capable of sheltering
2,000 bales of cotton, which will at farthest be
completed by the I5th of Ootober, by which
time the link from Quincy to Chattahoochee
will certainly bo completed. After the wharf
is finished, the workmen will proceed atonoe to
the erection of a railroad draw-bridge fifty feet
high across the river at that point, with a view
to the immediate extension of the road on to
Pensacola and Mobile, the company having
made all their financial arrangements for a vig
orous prosecution of this work. The Barnett
Line of steamers will run in connection with
this road daring the coming season, commenc
ing as soon as the road reaches Chattahoochee.

Ku-klux in Maine.—The following details of
a recent Ku-klux outrage in that portion of the
Badical vineyard called the State of Maine, is
copied from the New York Tribune:
“A party of young men, disguised a la
Ku-klux, compelled anofher young man named
Leonard Jackson to go to the cemetery, to kneel
upon the grave of a woman recently buried
there, and to ask her forgiveness of some injury
not stated. The lynchers then threw Jackson
into a mud puddle by way of farther purgation,
leaving him there partly covered with stones.
He was helped home by some neighbors, and
is still in a precarious state. Now if there be
any reason why the scoundrels who thus violated
the peaoe should not be sent to the House of
Correction, pray what is it?”
Now if there be any reason why Mr. Grant
should not put Maine nnder martial law by vir
tue of the Ku-klux bill, pray what is it? Gan, or
will the Tribune tell us ?
The Beassessment.—Public opinion seems to
baok up the City Gonnoil in its resolution to
overhaul the assessment of property in tins in

for his town property; another who put down
§27,000 who held at thedowest allowance §113,-
000; and twenty other cases cf smaller note.
The faot is, the whole town is pat down at one-
third or, at the highest, about one-half what it
is really worth. Well, we must consider thin a
good joke. Don’t raise any quarrel with the
Council for hauling ns over the coals, and pay
what we really owe. But the board of revision
must not skip anybody, bat go over the whole
list alike.
