MACON, NOVEMBER M '871.
Klarkbnm on Bulloch.
We find in the Tribune, of Tuesday, a three
quarter colnmn letter to the editor from Wm
Matklinm, whilom, and for aught we know, now
a citizen cf Atlanta, and pretty well known in
Georgia as of that political species calling them
selves “original Union men.” Markham is pretty
tart on the absquatulator, and certainly ought
to speftk by authority, as ho and Bullock have
been quite thick for three or four years. He
charges Bullock with lying in regard to the rea
sons for his resignation, to begin with, and goes
on to say th.it ho has disgraced the Republican
party and been wholly regardless of the interests
of tho people of tho Slate—the first of which
charges wc think eminently an just, as, according
to one understanding, that is a feat neither Bol
lock nor any other knave is capable of accom
plisbing. Markham farther says that Bullock
was oaeo a “rebel of the deepest die”—that he
was unfairly nominated, and that bad it not
been for “the great deeire of the people (i. e.
the negroes, and carpet-baggers, and scallawags)
for reconstruction,” ho never could have been
elected. Markham also charges him with giv
ing office to “rebels,” who were worthless both
to their own and the Radical party, and with
selecting os editor of hU official organ, “a man
of the utmost irresponsibility morally, pecuni
arily, and politically, and who can be bought
and sold like a piece of putty.”
Markham proceeds to say that it is the acts
of tho “Ring” formed by Bullock, and “the
grates of tho penitentiary,” that he (B.) now
fears more than the Kn klux, and ridicules the
idea that it was any fear from that quarter that
caused his flight. Markham concludes by say
ing that Bullock’s whole letter is a fabrication
“gotten up to create prejudice in his favor
North, and to cover up his own wickedness and
malpractice in office, and the disgraceful man
ner in which he has left the State.”
Upon the whole, Markham gives Rnfus a very
genteel skinning; which, coming from that
source, cannot fail to bo keenly enjoyed by all
who knew he was just such as Markham paints
him whon he (M.) was lying in his political
bosom, and swearing everything and everybody
thereabouts was altogether lovely.
To show how Bro. Markham handles a pen,
and to give some idea of the humor he is in, we
quote the following extract:
In fact, in all bis appointments it seemed
that he was laying the ground-work for specula
tion and dishonesty, and the seqnel will show
how successful he has been.
As birds of a feather
Are sure to flock together,
Bo it seems to have been in his case, and bo was
therefore enabled to form a Ring to his own
liking, and it is the acts of that Ring, with his
manipulation and official sanction, and the
grates cf the penitentiary, that he now fears
more than the Ku-Klux. The imposition prac
ticed upon the people by him and his Ring in
the purchase of the State-House, in the pur
chase of his mansion, in the management of the
Western and Atlantic Road, in disposing of the
Miichel property, in their management of the
Albany and Brunswick Road, and the issningof
bonds for tho same; and last, though not least,
the loasing of the Western and Atlantia Road—
an act that wonld, if possible, dash the modesty
of Tweed and his Ring—all create more fear in
bis mind than any dread that ho has of Ku-
Klns. That there have been outrages commit
ted in Georgia cannot be denied, and that there
is a feeling existing there that is prejudicial to
the interest of the State is true; but that Bul
lock could not have remained there unmolested
personally, just as well as Mr. Gonley could, is
not true, and that is not the cause of his leaving
there. It is his guilty conscience that drives
him fre- a there, and a fear of legal investiga
tion will probably drive him further.
But in his letter his fling at the Judge of the
Supremo Court is as marked as it is malicious,
and nothing that Bullock could say of him wonld
impair tho confidence of the people in him, and
the great prejudice that he harbors agiinst him
is the fact that he is a Union man and an hon
est man. lie also has the impudence to give a
word of warning to the men who fought for the
Union. Such impertinence deserves and will
roceivo the contempt of overy Union man who
knows him. No man has greater contempt for
them than Ballock has manifested; as proof of
it ho has not appointed or recommended for of
fice a dozen in the State; neither was ho one
one himself, if reports be trno, and his ap
pointments and bis associations prove it. That
allusion, liko most of his letter, is for bancombe
North, and should receive the condemnation of
every Union man and every honest Repub
lican that reads his letter.
Lands in South Carolina.—From reports of
sheriff's sales laBt Monday in Soath Carolina,
we see that in Blackvllle one tract of ICO acres
was sold for $170. A tract of 1C2 acres for $120.
Another of 243 acres for $10. Honse andlotin
Barnwell, lot containing two acres, for $1,000.
In Williamsburg the “Colclongh tract” sold for
$2 00 an acre. In Edgefield C9C acres sold for
$9 75 per acre. Eight hundred and fifty-nine
acres river tract for for $10 per aero. Tract on
Beaver Dam, 257 acres for $11 50 per aero.
Homestead of Col. Frazier with 75 acres oronnd
it for $5,085. Large storehouse on tho public
square for $1,000. These prices show great
depression, as the lands in Edgefield were very
choice.
GovasKon op Texas on the Rampage.—A
letter received in Washington last Thursday
from oco of tho Democratic members elect in
Texas says that the Governor has refused to
gTant certificates of election to three of the fonr
Democratic Congressmen elected last month.
Ho has declared martial law in two comities of
the State, and is on his way to Washington to
induce the President to suspend the operations
of tho writ of habeas corpus in other portions of
Texas. There is considerable feeling over his
course and the Legislature will probably pass
resolutions appealing to the President not to
take any such step. The local declaration of
martial law has already been condemned by the
same source.
Thanksgiving.—Acting-Governor Conley pro
claims Thursday, 30th November instant, as a
day of thanksgiving, for that “whereas, it hath
pleased Almighty God in his great mercy to
tnm away from ns all those evils that we so
justly have deserved, to bless ns with peace and
prosperity, and to grant all those things which
are necessary to render ns a contented and a
happy people.” This is thesamo day proclaimed
by tho President
A Harvest op Premiums.—W. E. Tanner &
Co., of the Metropolitan Works, Richmond,
took the first premium for portable steam en
gines at nearly all the Southern Fairs which
havo been held this fall, including tho State
Fairs of Georgia and Alabama, and tho Fairs at
Columbus and Selma.
Southern Female College.—The La Grange
Reporter announces tho completion of the col
lege building, a beautiful edifice, located on
handsome grounds, amid a beautiful grove. The
work is mainly due to tho untiring energy of
President Cox.
New Books.—Seo the attractive array of new
publications advortised by Messrs. J. W. Burke
& Co. in another column. Everything new in
the literary world will be found on their conn-
tera. Call and get a copy of Godey for Decem

A guild of ladies is proposed to be formed in
England under the leadership of Miss Harrison,
of Swanage, Dorsetshire, to promote modesty of
dress, to do away with extravagance, and sub
stitute tho neatness and sobriety suitable to
Christian woman.
Senator Thomas M. Norwood,
[that is to be. J
This geutlemaD, as elsewhere stated, is a prac
tising lawyer of Savannah, and is generally
spoken of as a man of fair abilities and exem
plary character—what Sam Slick would call “a
steady goer” He was born in the neighboring
county of Monroe, somewhere about forty years
ago, and is therefore st;II young enough to im
prove and grow in mental stature. He has also
represented Chatham county in the Legislature.
We have no donbt that, at the 6tart, he will com
pare fairly with the generality of the stock now
in the United States Senate, and hope, before
his time is out, he will get ahead of most of
them.
Notwood is, in fact, in the line of distingnised
precedent. Like the wise and great Ulysses
himself, his father was a tanner, and with no
great stretch of the imagination wo may con
ceive that years ago Norwood and Ulysses might
have been dressing hides about the same time.
Thus sprung alike from tho loin3 of the people
and the tanner’s block, both may prove that
there is nothing like leather. Some will fear this
association, and claiming that the extraordinary
acquisitiveness o® Ulysses might have been
gained by a too early knowledge of tho game of
hide and seek, and bring suspicion on our son
of a tanner. But not so. Norwood is a lofty
and strong pillar in the Methodist Church, and
everywhere known as a man of sterling relig
ious principle. Tho integrity of tho man was
never called in question or suspected. On the
the whole, it may bo said he is a new man, and
that is well. He is entangled with no old fends
—and that is well. He is a prudent, careful,
moderate and conciliatory man—and that is
well. We expect to find him a useful and satis
factory representative in the United States Sen
ate. Therefore, dismiss yonrgriefs, all ye dis
appointed, and give Senator Norwood a candid,
friendly and hopeful reception.
The Cotton Prospect.
The bears of the cotton world lay no small
stress upon the absence of a killing frost np to
the present time, and predict a heavy top crop
of cotton from the prolongation of the season.
The writer has investigated this subject from
a practical stand point and actual experiment.
In ordinary seasons, when the plant has been
subject to no extremes of wet or drought, and
the growth has been gradual, the fruit upon the
stalk ripens in regular succession from the lower
limbs upwards, sud hence the crop i3 augmented
by late'seasons. But, as in tho present instance,
when the weed has been checked midway by
long continued dry weather, and casts its fruit,
the second growth, which is the result of a glut
of rain in August or September, rarely attains
to maturity. The bolls, when even full grown
iu size, for lack of warm and forcing weather,
fail to open, while all the vitality of the plant is
expended in the production of new fibre and
foliage. Those, therefore, who are buoyed up
with the hope that the heavy top crop which
covers the cotton fields, will ripen and be gath
ered, are doomed to a sad disappointment.
The bolls will remain in statn quo until stewed
by freezing weather, when they will merely
crack open and decay without yielding any lint.
The heavy frost of the past two nights will
doubtless put an end to all speculation on the
subject, however, and bring to an inglorious
and sadden termination the vaunts of the cot
ton bears.
We look now for a speedy reaction in the
market, and steadier and better prices hence
forward.
“Revolution in tho Empire Slate—
Now ffcr the Nation.”
Under this head the New York Sun says, fraud
has been rebuked by a “ common uprising of
honest men” in New Yoik, and now the same
sort of an uprising is going to prostrate “corrup
tion, fraud, bribery and bribe and present-taking
in the Federal Government.” Tho Sun will find
to his grief that when he invites the New York
Radicals to take a stand against Grant and po
litical corruption in the United States, not so
much as one of them will heed his invitation.
All the tracts, religions newspapers, pulpits,
politicians, orators and political organs will be
as silent as the grave on the matter of Radical
malversation.
The Sun will shino and scorch and barn theso
late uproarious and outbursting nprisers in be
half of political integrity in vain. It cannot stir
them into life and action. A supernatural tor
pidity and insensibility to political frand3 and
abases will have crept over them. The Boanerges
cf the Northern pulpits will be hashed or speak
in bated breath of the necessity of winking at
some evilsfor tbesako of accomplishing a greater
good. Tho “great party of high moral ideas”
most not be called to too rigid account.
Would yon arrest the triumphal march of the
Grand Union Army of loyalty and progresp,
merely to get the few hundred millions of pub
lic plnndor ont of their knapsacks ? Forbid it
religion and humanity! What will become of
tho country if these “loyal millions” are to be
thus exposed before a world of carping rebels ?
Can yon bear the thought, my brethren. Is it
not belter that overy soldier of that noble army
shall be weighted down with stolen gold and
greenbacks, rather than that a single rebel-lov
ing democrat shall get a ten cent shinplaster, or
a pewter nickel ? So will every friend of human
ity and justice exclaim, with heart and hands.
We can see Tammany frauds, but the frauds of
the noble republican army tee can not—icc uid
not see!. Amen.
Bulloch and the School Fund.
Says the Atlanta Constitution: Bullock and
his faction tried to make great capital ont of an
assumed zeal in free education.
Let us see how this zeal showed itself. It
took every dollar of the old school fund out of
the Treasury for Bullock to squandor. For this
fund there are now in tho Treasury $208,000 of
bonds deposited, which are so much waste paper.
A batch of $332,000 of the same sort of bonds
was sent North byBullock to be negotiated, and
have come back to the Treasurer’s office nnused
as far os we know, and also cancelled. This
makes tho $GOO t OOO of those school bonds.
Not only this, but tho last Legislature pro
vided that all of the poll tax, liquor tax and cir
cus tax, and half of tho Stato Road income
should constitute the school fund. Bullock and
his crowd have used every dollar of this money,
without depositing a solitary bond in tho Treas
ury therefor, in conformity with law.
Thus, over half a million of. school money
has been used' by this Radical administration
that has gassed so boisterously about its inter
est in education. And this amount is one of
Bullock’s contributions to the Stato debt.
Verily, it is a long lano, this, that leads down
tho financial coarse of oar late Rnfos. We hope
to get to tho turn some day.
The Alabama State Fair.—A correspondent
of the Mobile Register pronounces the late
State Fair of Alabama very successful, although
it rained every day but one daring the session.
The Alabama State Fair is held at Pickett’s
Springs Park, four miles from tho city, and
reached by a “Y” track from the Montgomery
and West Point Railroad, cars running every
hour with great regularity, and yon are landed
right at the door of the main building for tho
reasonable fare, out and back, of fifty cents.
Columbus cotton receipts to Wednesday night
wore 11,877 bales against 22,327 last year for
same time—sliowing a falling off one-half.
Macon cotton receipts tho night of the 9th,
wore 21,121, against 39,407 to 11th November,
last year.
Editorial Correspondence.
Cuthbebt, November 9,1871.
The Superior Court of Randolph county is in
session here this week, Judge Harrell, a new
man, “developed" by His fogitive Excellency,
Ballock, and a simon pure representative of tho
under ernst of Georgia scallawagism, presiding.
The Judge is famous for two specialties. The
first, a proclivity to fine right and left, sick and
well, all who trangress any rule of court; ex
cuse or no excuse; and the other the shameless
slaughter of the Queen’s English. The docket
shows considerable business, and the criminal
list is a fall one. We note in attendance from
yonr city Hon. S. D. Irvin and C. B. Wooten
bolh distinguished members of the bar of Geor
gia. As yet, no important oases havo been de
termined.
BRUNSWICK AND ALBANY RAILROAD.
This collapsed institution occupies a largo
share of public attention. The people have a feel
ing inter*st in the matter. One contractor who
had built thirty-one milts of road had received
as bis guerdon bnt one hundred dollars in
greenbacks. The remainder was in “chips and
whetstones,” commissary stores, and the bean-
tiful “Kimball money.” Of promises, however,
he has had not a few. The ntterer of these
admirablo imitations of currency has taken bis
flight to his home in the far distent North, as
was impossible for him to be separated from
his altis ego and brother Siamese twin, Rufus B.
On the train we encountered a poor n6gro who
had $110 of this bogus stuff, and he gave us
the names of two others who possessed, the
one $85, and the other $155 of this same picto
rial delusion. These unfortunates have toiled
all snmmer in the sun and rain, and this was
their reward. Like sensible fellows, they bad
changed their base to the Blakely extension of
tbe Southwestern Railroad, and were there do
ing good service, and receiving fair wages in
real money, from a company who ask nothing
from the public treasury, and desire only fair
play at the bands of their fellow-citizens.
Tbe shameful exodus of KimbalH, without
word of notice or apology to hi3 victims, has

much distress to many of our citizens. Few,

CROPS AND TRADE.
The cotton harvest is turning ont fnlly as
short as was anticipated, and the receipts and
sales are light. This axphyxiates the trade of the
conntryof course. Planters aro hopeful of better
prices and keep back their produco in conse
quence. This is excusable only in those instances
where the crop is free from liens or encum
brances. If pledged to tbe merchant, who
bos advanced cash or provisions npon the faith
of these promises, common honesty, as well as
sound policy, wonld dictate the strictest adher
ence to the contract. How el6e oonld the farmer
obtain help when drouth and famine reduce
him to extremity ?
.DAWSON FAIR.
This irrepressible little city, wbioh has been
laid in ashes twice within a twelve month, is not
only rising in solid brick and mortar from her
rains, bnt has had the enterprise to project and
pat in successful operation a highly creditable
Agricultural Fair. This closed yesterday and
we learn was well attended. The display of
stock, vegetables, fanoy work, eto., was very
respectable. A large-delegation from this place,
including the yonng ladies of Andrew College,
went over on Wednesday, and wero received
with a fine band of masio, and every demonstra
tion of honor. It was a joyons gala occasion to
tbe happy spirits just released from tho school
room.
Hon. Thomas Hardeman was tho orator of tho

numerous auditory.
Tho weather continues mild and pleasant
and tho cotton fields are covered with blooms
and tender herbage. Jane seems to have
changed places with November, and langhing
summer still holds her own against tho season
of tho “sere and autnmn leaf.”
Alas, that no old fruit remains tq be ripened
by this sweet Indian summer, in onr cotton
fields, and the new, must fall a prey to the icy
frosts of winter.
Let no one hereafter, not even tha weather
clerk at Washington, dare to venture an opin
ion on an early or late fall. One man can “i

The Last Fool.—Wo have heard of strange
reasons for enicide, bnt that assigned by
yonng man who destroyed himself tho other
day at Carlisle (Pa.,) has perhaps hardly been
surpassed for eccentricity. This rash person
drowned himself, and, prior to taking tho fatal
plunge, he paid a messenger to take a letter for
him to the nearest police office. Hewasro-
solved that the world should know tho reason
for his act, and duly set it forth in the letter.
This was to tbe effect that Mr. Darwin having

The most important act of the Episcopal Con
vention at Baltimore is the authoritative state
ments by its assembled wisdom that tho word
“regenerate” in the baptismal service is not
meant to express belief in the “moral change
on the subject of Baptism, as wrought in that
sacrament.” Tbe word is, therefore, nsed as in
some old authors, in an ecclesiastical and not
a spiritual sense. For this concession, “though
not the precise relief which was sought for,*
the Low Church Bishops unite in devout thanks
to “tho Great Head of tho Church.”

TI1E GEORGIA PRESS
Mr. James Chalker, of Pulaski county, is the
champion gonrd vine grower. He has one which
the Hawkinsville Dispatch says is thirty-five
feet in diameter, and which has produced 63
gourds, -varying in capacity from one—half to
two and a half gallons. The Dispatoh man says
he may be willing to fall a snsko or so on tho
number of gourds, but not a lizard, even, on
tho diameter of the vine.
We clip these items from the Dispatch:
Land and Real Estate Sales.—On Tuesday
last lot of land No. 192, in the fourth district of
this county, and belonging to tho late Mrs.
Elizabeth Daniel, was sold at administrator’s
sale for $895. The lot contained 202J acres;
with a small portion cleared. John Daniel was
the purchaser. The Barrel Jordan Plantation,
embracing 1,215 aores, exclusive of the home
stead sot apart for the minors, was sold for
$2,900, the purchasers being J. W. Lathrop &
Co., of Savannah, through J. B. Stetson. There
wab a mortgage upon tho land. The James
Daniel Place, within the incorporate limits, and
forty acres of land with tan yard, were sold for
$850. Purchased by John Daniel, ono of the
heirs.
Carried to Macon.—John Graham, charged
with the murder of Daniel Lee at Dykesboro, in
December last, has been taken from Pnlaski
county jail and carried to tbo jail in Macon for
safe keeping till his trial comes off. This trans
fer was deemed advisable on account of tbe in
security of our county jail. We havo heard it
said that in January next there wonld be a
called session of Pulaski Superior Court, at
wbioh timo Graham will bo tried for the crime
of which he is charged.
On Monday night last, says the Ameri
cas Republican, of Thursday, the entire con
tents of the smoke house of Dr. S." B. Hawkins,
consisting of seveyl wagon loads of corn in the
shack, meat and other groceries, together with
a large number of barrels and boxes, were de
stroyed by fire, while the horub remained un
scorched. Some of tho boxes and barrels wero
only burnt half through. The Doctor nor his
family knew nothing of the fire until notified
of it in the morning by a freedman on the
place. Had the kitchen caught on fire, it
would have been impossible to save the resi
dence, as it is within a few feet of the building.
The schooner Goodwill arrived at Savannah,
from Harbor Island, on Thursday, with a cargo
consisting of 60,000 oranges, 200 bunches of
bananas, CO dozen pineapples, 12 barrels of
limes and 300 stalks sugar cane.
Tho Savannah Advertiser of Thursday says
that Niohols, the telegraph operator who left
tha office of the Southern Telegraph Company
in that city on snch short notice, or rather no
notice at all, about ten days since, taking with
him above seven hundred dollars of tho com
pany’s funds, has turned up in New York city,
whither he betook himself on leaving Savannah.
The agent in charge of the office in New Yoyk
telegraphs that Nicbol3 has been found at a
hotel, quite sick and very penitent. The dis
patch says he is suffering from the effects of
poison, which, it is presumed, remorse at his
rash conduct and its consequent disgrace drove
him into taking. A lady (what relation she sus
tained to Nichols is not stated) appeared npon
tho scene to intercede for him, saying that ho
had none of the money in hi3 possession, and
had, in fact, taken but little with him in his
hasty flight from Savannah. Nichols himself
was very contrite, and anxious to settle tho
matter, if possible, by “working it ont.”
Tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of
Thursday says the representatives of several
large railway corporations wero in that city
Wednesday, and had a soit of caucus at the
Planters’ Hotel. The Central Railroad was
represented by Messrs. W. M. Wadley, of Sa
vannah; W. B. Johnson, of Macon; A. S. Hart-
ridge, John Cunningham, George Wylly, John
R. Wilder and George M. Murphy, all of Sa
vannah; the Montgomery and West Point Rail
road by C. T. Pollard; the Southwestern Rail
road by Gen. W. S. Holt, and the Wilmington
and Manchester Railroad by R R. Bridges.
The object of the meeting has not transpired.
There have been only 182 marriages in Floyd
county this year, and the editor of tho Commer
cial, who has recently “been there,-’ himself,
don’t like it.
Two daughters of Mr. S. Stovall, of Greene
county, were thrown from a buggy, last Satur
day, and severely injured.
The Madison Appeal .says on Saturday night
a terrible accident occurred in Greene county,
near Willis’ ferry, on the Oconee River, by
which two lives were lost. It seems that a party
of men and boys were ont coon hunting, when
in catting down a tree, either the tree or some
of its branches fell upon or flew back and crushed
the victims* John Leverettjiged 15 or 16 years,
and a negro named Sweeny, were killed instant
ly, and another negro mortally wounded.
Considerable properly was sold in Greene
county last Tuesday. Land brought from $7
to $12 per acre. Georgia Railroad stock brought
$99 per share.
Mr. Wm. Hssaler, one of tho first settlers oi
Murray county, died last week, in the 75th year
of his ago.
Several families left Dalton and vicinity last
week for Texas ohd Arkansas. At this rate
Georgia will soon loose all her simpletons.
Tho Griffin Star says Mr. Talbot, who went
to Europe some months since for the purpose
of procuring laborers for some of his neighbors,
has just returned, bringing with him sixty-six
men, women and children. They are generally
stout, hardy looking people, and doubtless will
prove skilful and valuable laborers. The men
contract from the 10th'inet. to December 25th,
1872, at $10 per month; and the boys at from
SC to $S with board, from which is to be de
ducted the cost of getting them here; and in
case they leave their employers before the time
contracted for, are to forfeit all wages due them
Mr. Talbot had some difficulty in getting np as
many as he desired, owing to the prejudice that
had been instilled in their minds against the
South, and the trouble of proouring families.
The libel suit of A. D. Rockefeller vs. Atlanta

We find tho following items in the Atlanta
Constitution, of yesterday:
Blodortt’s Great State Road Joke—It
Grows to Over Three-Quarters of a Million.
—We have heretofore kept onr readers posted
on the growing dimensions of Blodge't’s State
Road joke. At the last accounts it had arrived
at tho mammoth proportions of over $450,000.
This amount has been paid by the State Treas
urer. We have just learned that the attorney
for Henry Clews & Co., of New York, is here,
who represents that that firm has paid ont for
the Stato Road, on Blodgett’s drafts, the extra
sum of $377,000. Thu3 at ona unexpected
swoop is the joke doubled. The swindle now,
according to this statement, amounts to tho
enormous sum of $827,000, or over three-
quarters of a million.
Another Bullock Act fob Suspicion.—We
told the other day how tho Carteravillo and Van
Wert Railroad Company had received $275,000
of endorsed Stato bonds. Wo also told how,
since it changed its name to the Oheroke»Rail-
road Company, it had received $300,000 more,
thus getting a double quantity. We learn that
Governor Ballock promised to substitute the
latter for the former. He has not yet done so.
Both lots of bonds are out And no informa
tion has been obtained about tho matter.
Speech of Db. Miller.—Quito a largo and
intelligent audience assembled in tho Repre
sentative Chamber lost night to hoar a speech
from the above distinguished gentlemen. The
Doctor defended bis coarse as a member of tbe
Georgia State Convention; defined his position
and denied charges brought against himself as
having united with tho Union Longue, and as
having indorsed the Sherman bill—pronounced
these charges false. After his speech a notice
was read out that Hon. B. H. Hill wonld ad
dress his fellow citizens on Monday night. Mr.
Hill was present in the audience and stated
that the notice was a mistake; that he might
speak on some future night.
Outbage Near West End.—We learn that
between one and two o’clock yesterday a negro
man entered a house near West End and at
tempted to outrage the person of a respeotablo
married lady who was aiono at the time. Her
screamB attracted the attention of a gentleman
driving past and he ran to her rescue. As soon
as be entered the door the negro jumped ont of
the back door. A party chased him for a mile
or so, bnt he effected his oBcape. The lady, we
learn, was a Mrs. Stroud.
The Gwinnet Atlas has changed its name, and
is now a Herald.
Tho BarnQ3ville Gazette says tbo real estate
of Gideon Barnes, deceased, sold last Tuesday
for good prices. The mountain lot, one mile
north of BarnesviUe, sold for $25 per acre, 56
acres, nearer, for $42 per acre, and several four
acre lots on the railroad, sold for from $100 to
$138 per acre.
The Atlanta Era says
A Blondin Mule.—Day before yesterday a
male, belonging to tho stables of Messrs. O. H.
Jone3 & Co., deliberately walked ont upon a
platform attached to the rear of tbe stone stable,
and from thence npon the roof of an adjoining
building; climbing the roof, and crossing the
oomb of it, ho descended on tho other side of
the roof to tho “jumping off place,” and jumped
off, alighting safely some fifteen feet down, in
an open lot, where he was secured, none the
worse for his marvelous Blondin feat.
The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday, says
The True Georgian.—Wo clip the following
from the Atlanta correspondence of tho Augusta
Constitutionalist. We donbt its correctness:
“The True Georgian’s failure continues to
elicit some inquiry and comment. Whether
Bard will come back or not, is a mooted ques
tion. The employees of tho office on “shutting
down” upon the material, found, very unexpect
edly, claims and mortgages of recent date on
it to the amount of $15,000. The amount is
distributed between Governor Joe Brown, Gen.
Austell, and other capitalists of the city. The
paper will, doubtless, be re-established as an
independent journal, by an association of
printers, with tho State Road and Air Line
printing to back it. But tho Ttne Georgian is
truly no more. Tho name of the journal in any
event will be changed.”
Mr. F. Lambaok, one of tho oldest citizens of
Augusta, died in that city on Thursday. He
was a native of Wnrtemberg, Germany, apd
had resided in Augusta for nearly fifteen years.
CoL J. T. Taylor, proprietor of tho Newnan
Defender, is now in New York city negotiating

The editor of the Quitman Banner varied the
monotony of his frugal fare, last week, with
ripe strawberries grown in tho open air and
presented by one of his lady friends.
Mr. Andrew 0. Lord, a well-known millwright,
died at Houston Factory, last Monday, aged 70
years.
Tho Houston Home Journal gives a cheerfu
picture of the business situation in Ferry and
Fort Valley. It says:
Tho Perryites now relieve tho monotony of
the weary hours by incitingsmorl dorgs to fierce
combat, and watching diligently for a country
nigger to bring a captive coon into town, so
that they may pinch his tail for half price.
Tho citizens of Fort Valley are at a loss what
to do. They pensively pine for the return of
snmmer, to revive their playful habit of going
aboard tbe passing trains and swigging the ioe
water.
Tri-weekly passenger trains havo commenced
to run on the Brunswick and Albany Railroad.
The first trip was made last Tuesday.
Tho Albany News, of Friday, says:
Value of Land in Dougherty.—On Tuesday
last the “Old Bedding Faircloth Place,” situated
fonr miles below this city on the Newton Road,
and containing six hundred and ninety-seven
acres was sold by tho guardian for fourteen dol
lars per acre.
General Jail Delivery.—On Sanday eve
ning last, when onr jail-keeper, Mr. Hood,
entered the jail to carry water to the prisoners,
five negro fellows confronted and seized him.
He resisted all he could— striking ono of them
over the head with bis lamp, broke it into frag
ments and in the darkness the five thrust him
aside and made their escape.
The Federal Iroops which for some time past
have been stationed in "White county, are soon

B ob Hendricks’ grocery, at Columbus, was
robbed, on Thursday night, of $30, part of a
box of tobacco, and a box of candles, and the
Sun s ys “the loss is quite heavy”—from which
we infer that Bob’s stock was rather slim.
Columbus negroes steal wagon gates just to
keep their hands in.
The Sun says a stocking was exhibited at the
Columbus Fair darned so perfectly that it was
pronounced not darned at all, and the premium
awarded to specimens on which tho darning teas
visible. In our bachelor days we could have
made a strong push for a premium on the latter
ground.
Two new Lodges of the Knights of Pythias—
tho Teutonia and Excelsior—were organized last
week, f.t Savannah, by Grand Chancellor, D. B.
Woodruff, of this city.
The Savannah Republican, of Friday, says:
Criminal Cases in the United States Cir
cuit Couet.—Several important criminal cases
->n the docket of the United States District Court
ave been transferred to the Circuit Coart, and
will be tried at the present term. It is evidently
the intention of the presiding judge to clear the
docket, a3 it will be seen from the court report
that four cases are put down for a hearing
to-day.
Savannah is to have three holidays this month
—on the 16th, 23d and 30th. Red Head can
now certainly claim “the largest aggregate cir
culation” on holidays.
A brilliant Aurora Borealis was witnessed at
Savannah, Thursday night, and thinking it
meant something awful, sinners and soakers
down that way said their prayers and went to

Horace Gordon, a Hilton Head negro of the
purest loyalty, is in quod at Savannah for pass

The Sub-Ku klux Committee.—The snb-Kn-
klux Congressional Committee, appointed to
investigate the outrages alleged to have been
committed on manumitted citizens of the color
ed way of looking at things in this State and in
Florida, was at Jesup yesterday morning.
The committee left Jesup for Jacksonville via
the Atlantic and Ghlf Railroad, where the mem
bers will pursue their thrilling investigations.
On its return, the committee will tarry in this
city for a few days. In view of this fact, we
adviBe the gentlemen composing it to give a
few hoars of their valuable time in looking
after the negro Kn-klux who murdered August
John, Broadbacker, Brickman and Heightman;
and wo beg of them to turn their attention to
the negroes who shot and seriously wounded
Messrs. Montmollin, Kent and Slyer. We beg
them, also, to givo a few hours to the examina-
ation of tho colored ontlaws who have been ar
resting and robbing onr citizens, and commit
ting other outrages on tho Lonisville road.
We find tho following items in the Atlanta
Sun of 56sterday:
The Central and Macon and Western Rail
roads.—The proper representatives of these
two roads are now engaged in taking an in
ventory of all the stock, property, and assets of
the M. and W. Road, preparatory to the con
summation of the lease to tbe Central, which
takes effect an tho 1st of Dooember—the Cen
tral, on that day taking fall control of the line
from here to Savannah.
County Seat of Clark.—A committee of
gentlemen are here from Athens with a petition
signed by 1400 citizens of Clark county asking
tbe removal of the conrt honse from Watkins-
villo to Athens. A great many very cogent
reasons aro given why the removal should be
made, and unless the opponents of the mea
sure are very active, Athens Is very likely to get
tha court house.
Who Owns the New Era ?—An interesting
trial has been going on in tho Superior Court
for two days. A genuine carpot-baggger named
Rockafellow has sued tho New Era for slander,
claiming damages. For some reason the editors
of the Era formed a bad opinion of him and
said nnpleasant things of him in the paper. We
learn that among other things, the Era copied
an article from Swayze’s paper, the Macon Citi
zen, charging that Rocky had defrauded that
paper ont of $50, or other some of mosey, by
collecting subscriptions and appropriating the
money to bis own use. This Mr. Rockafellow
refused to remain silent under, and brought
suit against the Era for uttering and publishing
the slander.
In the trial it became noeossary to provo the
ownership of tho paper, which proved to be a
difficult nut to crack. Mr. Scruggs, the editor,
and Mr. Grubb, the Business Manager, did not
know: they only knew that they wore employed
by certain parties, bnt knew not that the parties
were owners; and these parties are not in the
State. The attorney who drew up the pacers
when the present owners purchased the Era,
The Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday, has
these items:
Something More ab-jut the Brunswick and
Am?ANy Railroad Bonds—It has been sup
posed that only $5,130 000 of Brunswick and
Albany Railroad bonds were ont—over a third
more than is legally due—but, upon inquiry, we
find that thrre are$2S2,000 more still out, mak
ing tho grand aggregate $5,412,000. It seems
that of the gold State bonds issned to this road,
there have been two sets, one of $1,880,000,
looking like our regular gold State bonds, and
the other set, of $880,000, a lightor colored
bond. Tho laBt were first issned, and for the
reason that probably they conld bo too easily
distinguished from onr regular gold bonds, the
former wero substituted for them. Of th’« first
issue of $880,000, the amount of S598,000 have
been returned cancelled to State Treasurer’s of
fice, with some of the coupons cut off, thus
showing their nse. The rest of $282,000 are
ont. This matter throws some light on Bui-
lsck’t resolute and illegal retention and secret
nse of the function of paying the interest on
the bonds. Having two sets of bonds ont for
the same purpose, intending to withdraw ono at
the proper time, it was absolutely necessary to
exclude from service in the matter an officer
that wonld refuse to pay the coupons upop two
sets of bonds of the same kind and for the
same pnrpose.
We shall get into tho light after a while,
Slowly the facts are coming ont.
Habeas Corpus—George F. Page, Radical
member of the Honse from Lee county, who was
arrested at Chattanooga on a -li .rge of murder,
was brought down here yesterday. He sued
out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Pitt
man. After hearing evidence, Judge Pittman
remanded Page to the enste dy of the Sheriff of
JLieo county. We learn that Page will certiorari
the case.
Carteravillo is putting on airs over a lime sink
500 feet in circumference, and 50 feet deep.
• Twelve hundred pounds of tobacco belonging
to a Mr. Wiley, of Cherokee county, were burned
last Thursday.
A revival in the Baptist church at Cartersviile
ha3 resulted in twenty-five conversions.
Mrs. John Bell, of Cartersviile, was severely
hurt, last week, by being horned by a cow. Dr.
Hamiter, of Carteravillo, was thrown from his
buggy a few days since, and seriously injured.
Mrs. Kate Douglass was drowned in Duck
Creek, Floyd county, last Wednesday. She was
attempting to ford the creek and was washed
from her buggy.
The Covington Examiner has moved its office
to Conyers, where it will be published hereafter.
Mr. A. J. Belcher, of Newton county, had his
right hand terribly lacerated by a gin, last
Wednesday.
Mr. V. C. Sparks, of Walton county, has dis
covered a new process of tanning leather, by
which the heaviest sole leather can be tanned in
four weeks.
Florida Kens.
Immigrants to Florida.—The Floridian of the
7tb instant, announces that twenty-five or thirty
Swedes, and forty French immigrants from Al
sace, wonld arrive in that city in the course of
a day or two. That paper is assured by Mr,
Rulan, the French agent, that thousands of
Frenchmen would immmigrate if they had
proper encouragement. Those now coming,
will locate on the Gnlf Coast, near the month
of tho Ocklockonee River, where large tracts of
land have been purchased.
The Tallahassee and Georgia Railroad.—
The route of this road from Tallahassee to the
Georgia line has been located, and the work of
grading is to be commenced as soon as labor can
be procured. The narrow gange is to be adopted.
Florida is in a state of great excitement
about her tax laws. The last Legislature passed
an act authorizing the appointment of a Board
of State Equalization of Taxes, (held to be un
constitutional) whose action ha3 been oppres
sive in the extreme. The Floridian says:
A prominent Republican official, whose resi
dence is in Alachna county, said to ns yesterday
that if the property in his county was sold for
cash by the tax collector to-day, it wonld not
bring three per cent, of its assessed value.
This is pretty much the case in all tbe counties
—and yet our Governor “imperatively enjoins”
the peop’e to pay their taxes, and denounces
everj body as “agitators” and disturbers of the
peace who may counsel a resort to the" “Su
preme Judiciary” to test the constitutionality
of a law which takes all a man has.'
Reed, the carpet-bag rascal who claims to be
Governor of that State, comes ont on the 7th
in a long proclamation warning the people that
the taxes must be paid, and shall bo collected
np to the day the Supreme Court of tho State
affirms the unconstitutionality of the law, and
commanding the collectors to go ahead and
make the money; bnt he has extended the time
to 1st December next. Tho people of Florida
have been so awfully bled by fraud and extor
tion, that the money will have to bo made ont
of them by something little short of hydraulic
pressure.

The Democratic legislative caucus were in
session till 11 o’clock on Friday night, and

Nontii Carolina Finances;
When the Tax-payers’ Convention met in Co
lumbia, a few months ago, “Gov. Scott” stated
to that body that the bonded indebtedness of
South Carolina was $8,000,000. Vr hat it actually

The Alabama and Chattanooga B»"‘
road Running Again.
We find the following in the CbattseoDi 1
Times of Thursday:
“At the instance of General Wofford, we »f
oompanied him to Attalla, yesterday, ont-*
first through train from Chattanooga tana®*
over the Alabama and Chattanooga Road bho#
the management of the Receivers.
“The road from Wauhatchie to Trenton
work very badly, being much over-grown w-^
grass, and the ditches in many places liavi-4
filled np even with the track. From Trenton
Attalla the road is in excellent running on*
and with the exception of being covered ***;
grass, we suppose in as good oondition a3
the road suspended operations. ,
“The people along the line appeared 6 l2C1 ..
see the train once more, and mounted °u fe “-,
and house tops, the older ones waved t D
hats and handkerchiefs, while some or teeur (
tie boys who wear bnt one garment, waved
also. They asked many questions ab° n ^ ,
running of the road, and every one «P res ^T 2
wish that it might never cease operating a SJ“
let suffer who might. They complain g 1 ?-
of how they have been discommoded, and c
lost money by having no means for s ' a 'FO
their produce to .market. Since the rosa ee '
