The competition for passenger travel
among the ocean steamship lines is raging
with increasing intensity. The highest
steerage rate now from Liverpool to New
York city is three pounds sterling, say $15,
against $30 to $45 in former years. First-
class cabin passenger accommodations
tango from $50 to $100, according to

Tun New York Sun, of Saturday, says
after the close of the Beecher trial there
will doubtless be an interesting revela*
tion of the experiences of the jury. One
of the jurors has complained to Judge
Neilson that he has been approached im
properly, and it is now regarded as almost
certain that there can be no agreement
in their verdict.

The Charleston News and Courier refers
to Mr. Hill’s election to Congress as fob

In the Hon. B. H. Hill, who ho3 been
elected to Congress from the Ninth Dis
trict of Georgia, the South Carolina Con
sorvatives will find a fearless and willing
friend at the National Capital. As we
have no Congressmen of our own, wo are
obliged to ask our brethren in North
Carolina and Georgia to speak up for us
whenever they have a chance. And they
do it!
Ok Sunday last, for the first time in
fifteen years, religious services were held
in Pobick Church, Fairfax county, Vir
ginia. It was built in 1773, through tbe
active exertions and influence of George
Washington. During the late war it was
occupied by Federal troops as a stable.
It bocame more and more dilapidated
until within the past year, when some
gentlemen of New York learning of its
condition, provided tbe means and had
the edifice rebuilt and refurnished hand
somely.
Thet were married last fall, and they
hadn’t had one cross word or sour

her to hold the pipe up while he gently
knocked the joints together. She smiled
sweetly as she replied: “Yes, my dear;'
but five minutes hadn’t passed before he
yelled out: “Dora it! I thought you
knew something!” And she threw two
joints of pipe at him and replied: "I
want you to understand that wo are
strangers from this hour!”—Detroit Free

The New Orleans Picayune, of Satur
day, says "yesterday there was a demon
stration at the Orleans Cotton Press of
the advantages to result from the use of
the Philip tie, which is constructed of
No. 8 wire. These wire bands stand a
tension of 1800 pounds, and the tie is so
simple and effective as to bo easily han
dled by any workman. The vtoight of
these wire ties is about one-third that of
bands, and they cost only 8 cents, thus
effecting a vast economy in handling the
staple.”
“Among the incidents of yesterday,”
says tho Memphis Avalanche, of Sunday,
"was an accidental meeting in the public
streets of Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Vice
President Wilson. Having been ac
quainted in years gono by, when Mrs.
Davis resided at Washington, their mu
tual recognition was instant and cordial,
and tho two clasped bands with friendly
ardor, nfter which the party adjourned
to Specht’s ice cream parlors to discuss
strawberries and ico and the memories of
the past.”
Thebb appears at last to be substan
tial proof of a revival of business in Now
York. Tho New York Post of Wednes
day, in its financial article, says that
“merchants report collections as excep
tionally good, and while trade i3 not as
active as it might be, the volumo never
theless is generally above last season,
notwithstanding the backward weather.
The prospect now is that wo shall break
abrnbtiy from winter to summer. If we
have good crops tbe coming season there
is no reason apparent, assuming that we
have a comfortable money marker, why
next autumn’s business should not be
large and satisfactory. So far as sound
ness is concerned, business could never
bo more satisfactory than this season, for
it is conspicuously tho rule that no more
goods aro bought than can bo paid for;
and, os noted, collections were never bet-
ter.” _
A Db3 Moines, Iowa, journal gives tho
following particulars of an interesting
will case: “In 1869, a rich farmer in thin
county, a widower, made a will, devising
his estate to four sons. In 1874 ho mar
ried a young lady, and in October of that
year ho died. Tho sons applied to the
court to have the will of the father ad-
mitted to probate. Tho widow inter-
posed an objection, as there was good
prospect for more heirs, and it was highly
important, also, to know just how much
of on heir it would be. It was a fanny
objection anyhow, bnt tbe coming event
cast ita shadow before. Tbe court post
poned the matter until the posthumous
heir should be heard from. On Satur-
mother were on hand, and
l i°* c S ur J' 8e t aside the will. The
Bul>B equint marriage
and the birth of the child operated as a
revocation of the will, and refused to ad
mit it to prebate.'
The E V ns of the Hot-Ded Sys
tem of Education.
We do not know how better to expose
and hold up to reprobation the cramming
process to which our daughters are sub
jected, than to announce the fact that
there exists in Ohio a publishing com
pany who make a business of furnishing,
or preparing at short notice, essays, dis
sertations and compositions suitable for
public readings and commencement exer
cises. Regular circulars aro disseminated,
addressed to tbe young ladies, whose
names aro taken from college catalogues,
offering to do this literary work at a
regular schedule of prices, based upon
tbe requirements of tbe fair applicant.
Thus a first honor girl would be charged,
say fifty dollars, for her valedictory. Sa-
lutatories would be a little cheaper, and
tbe price of the essays of the other candi
dates is made to depend npon their grade
in tbe college. Special pains are taken
to adapt these ready-made lucubrations
to the capacity, attainments and idyosin-
crasies of each girl, and they are specially
enjoined to conform strictly to nature and
their known standing in any class, so
that all suspicion in the premises may bo
disarmed.
Never was there a more ingenious or
tempting inducement offered to affright
ed half educated young ladies, who are
forced to appear npon tbe stage in public,
whether prepared to do themselves jus
ticeornot. That this literary mill and
nursery of fraud must be extensively pa
tronized, is evident from the fact that
their elaborate circulars flood the country.
Not a few have oven found their way to
tbe lovely matriculates of Weslyan Fe
male college.
With pride, however, wo record the
fact that ill no other similar institution
in this broad Union, could a worse mar
ket be found for these “patent” produc
tions which do so much to corrupt virgin
purity. And the reason of this is, that
composition, elocution and belles-lettres, ore
specialties in this time-honored college.
The young ladies are required to write
every other week upon almost all subjects
embraced in the field of letters. Argm
ment&tive discussions, tales of fiction,
scientific questions requiringreseareband
study, dialogues, poetical essays, moral
topics, and many other themes, aro in
cluded in the range of their compositions.
And the writer knows, in many instances
at least, that the girls do their own think
ing and writing, and has been frequently
astonished at the grace and acumen they
evince in these original papers.
Would that this was universally the
case. But such a result can never be
attained nntil onr high schools pay more
attention to tho rudiments of education,
and thoroughly ground their pupils in
grammar and arithmetic, before they
y to make them soar to heights their
unfledged pinions cannot compass.
The wholesale attempt of this sordid
Ohio publishing company to make our
daughters enter upon life’s threshold,
with a fraud in their hearts, and deceit
upon their lip3, cannot be too severely
deprecated. Better far abolish tho whole
system of requiring modest girls to read
in public at all, and thus spare their
feelings and remove tho temptation to
subsidize the thoughts and labors of
others.
Children's Nurses.
Under this general bead tbe Baltimore
Gazette has eomo remarks, that aro not
only exceedingly sensible and apropos,
but are also of a universal application in
this section. We see tbe things it com
plains of here in Macon almost every day,
and often wonder why more children do
not die under the torture and neglect of
cruel or careless nurses. The little things
truly have a rough time of it with the
average name of the colored persuasion,
when out of sight of their mothers. To
see them stopped with the blazing sun or
sharp wind in their eyes, and watch them
fighting it out with their chubby little
fists'until half crazed under the torment
they bowl with rage and pain, while their
nnrscs chat with some friend or beau, is
indeed aggravating to the point of pro
fanity in the spectator. If tbe babie3
could tell half their woes when they get
home, what lively times there would be
among tho nurses.
But tho part of the Gazette’s article to
which we more especially refer is in rela
tion to another branch of the subject. It
is the indiscriminate kissing of children
while on the street. Almost every body
takes this liberty with the little things,
especially when, friends of the parents.
Ladies, especially, are as prone to it as to
critically examining the child’s clothes.
They first kiss it and then look to see how
it is dressed. The latter is natural, though
to tbe average masculine mind itseem3
rather to smock of impertinent curiosity.
(Wc have compared notes on this point
with other Benedicts, and think the fact
is as stated. If mamma, however, does
not object to tbo practice, of course it is
none of papa’s business.)
As to tho kissing custom thero are
grave objections, which are well stated
by tbo Gazette 03 follows:
If the veto is put upon kissing the
children only in times of scarlet fever,
and dipthcria, and kindred diseases, it
were well done, even for so snort a space.
But better still if, when under the charge
of a nurse, and not under the mother’s
eyes, no one is allowed to touch tho
child’s mouth with their lips, or to
breathe into its face their breath, for a
very slight malady with a grown person
is very grave with a child, and a man or
a woman may not even know that they
aro sick, when with the delicate organi
zation of a child it would be a sickness
unto death. Take, more particularly,
dipthcria. Adults often kavo this dis
ease in tho mild form of a simple cold.
It has been well said that the custom of
kissing children stands to dipthcria in
about tho same relation as promiscuous
hand-shaking formerly stood to tho itch.
Thcso may bo thought small things; but
children themselves are small things,
and it takes a little thing to injure, and
a very largo precaution to preserve their
tender livc3 from tho dangers which
threaten them.
Two lives rarely run so closely paral
lel os those of Robert and Mary Essery,
who had lived for many years at Orchard
Hill Farm, near Brideford, England.
They had been married sixty-five years
when tho husband fell ill. His wife at
tended to him assiduously, and when he
died on Wednesday afternoon, she ex
claimed, “Thank God, ho has gono beforo
me r* It was not long, however, Jbr tbe
old lady sank back exhausted, and died
within five hours. Both of them were
verging on ninety years of age.
The Nashville Union and American
learns through a private letter from New
York city that “Cardinal McCloskey has
distinguished the Herald by selecting
Joha Russell Young as his Secretary.”
Crop Outlook: in Southwest
Georgia.
From eTery quarter of this section of
the State once so opulent and prosperous,
the cheering tidings come of unexcep
tionable stands of corn and cotton, and
promising crops of small grain. Thanks
to its genial climate, the late frosts seem
to have wrought no injury either to fruit
or vegetation, other than somewhat to
retard their growth. The recent warm
nights have caused the cotton weed to
assume that sleek, greasy appearance
pleasing to the experienced farmer, and
thu3 far, very few breaks have been
caused by lice and other enemies of tbo
young cotton. “Chopping outf’ is pro
gressing rapidly, and but few weeds and
very little grass aro to be seen in tbe
fields.
The corn, too, is a perfect stand; and
though rather small for the stage of the
season, looks green and healthy. An ex
perience of twenty years on the planta
tion enables tbo writer to affirm with con
fidence, that though the stalk of the corn
plant may ho dwarfed by early cold,
long as it retains its color, with proper
cultivation a heavy yield may be ex
pected. True, tbe amount of fodder will
be diminished, but tbe entire strength of
the soil seems to be imparted to tbe ear\
' which assumes almost abnormal dimen
sions.
It is also a matter of congratulation
that tbe area devoted to tbe cereals tbe
present season is much greater than any
year sinco the war.
Tho oat crop too is splendid, and we
hear no complaints np to this time of
rust. Wheat is fully an average, though
very little of this valuable grain is culti
vated inside of tho cotton belt. It is an
encouraging fact, however, that tho pro
duction of rice and sugar cane continues
to increase steadily. Many connties al
ready mors than make their sweetening,
and begin to realize that no crop on earth
is as certain or remunerative.
We regard rice, however, whether cul
tivated in swamp or upland, os the crop
par excellence destined to work out the
salvation of Southern Georgia. No grain
supports so largo a proportion of the hu
man race, or is more healthful and nutri
tious. Cultivated with the plow, in drills
three feet apart, with hills eighteen
inches asunder, wo may odd that no plant
can bo grown with les3 labor or outlay,
while the yield will double that of corn
on tho same land, and selb for nearly
twice as much, besides tho vast amount
of good provender afforded by the offal.
A GLORIOUS SION.
But the mo3t tangible and significant
index of tbe dawn of better days, i3 to bo
found in tbe fact that in many parts of
Southwestern Georgia, tho planters are
shipping, not buying corn. In Worth
county this i3 universally so. And we
learn that Albany, in lieu of her usual
heavy importations, has actually sent
sixteen car loads of corn to Macon, while
Cnthbert has only been disgraced by tbe
advent of a solitary car load of tho West
ern stuff. To the Grangers and tbe in
telligent action of tbo Georgia Agricultu
ral Association may tbe credit mainly he
ascribed.
But dearly bought experience also has
something to do with it. Farmers begin
to realize now that credit is dead, and in
futnro they will be forced to rely upon
their own brawn and muscle for food,
and the comfort and luxuries of life.
But for the ill-starred semi-radical leg
islation which inaugurated a preposter
ous homestead and bankrupt laws that
have been the refuge of a hundred knaves
where one honest man has been benefit-
ted, tbe lesson would have been acquired
years ago, and that much abused word,
credit, which after all is the main spring
in tho clock of commerce, might still
have remained unimpaired.
. But we believe Southwest Georgia has
touched bottom at last, and now tbe re
bound will bo upward. Tbo people owe
less and are more hopeful, while at length
the freedmen begin to realize that in pa
tient toil and industry consist their only
bopo of success. It it pleasant indeed to
chronicle these facts derived from un
questionable sources.
In conclusion, we have one single word
of advice to proffer to our agricultural
friends:—Don’t sell your patrimonial es
tates to the negroes, or any one else, at this
juncture. If disposed of to tho former,
white immigration must cease at once,
and tbe country will bo afflicted with a
lazaroni population as worthless os tho
thieving beggars of Italy. Bettor culti
vate small farms, and allow tbo waste
land to recuperate, or grow up in timber.
It is only a question of timo, when
tbeso lands, with their heaven*bles3ed
climate, will be eagerly sought after
again and utilized for tbe good of tho
State. If possible, then, continuo to hold
on to your brood acres, as the only tan
gible possession that was not submerged
and swept away by tbe tidal wave of war.
Memphis, May 8.—Vice-President Wil
son arrived this morning on the Memphis
and Louisville train. Ho was met at tbo
National Cemetery by members of tho
General Council and Chamber of Com
merce, and on arriving at tbo depot in
the city, was met by Mayor League and
tho remainder of the city officials. Tho
Mayor received him with a brief address,
tendering the hospitalities of the city, to
which tho Vice-President responded in
on appropriate manner, taking occasion
to say that ho was traveling simply a3 a
private citizen, to seo tho country, and
referring to his anti-slavery record and
the late war, which he thought could not
have been avoided by any power of man, ho
hoped that peace and good feeling would
succeed its bitterness, 'and our country
would prosper and becomo tho greatest
nation upon tbe earth.
That is an important admission from
a leader of that party wbisb has always
fixed tbe whole blame of tho late civil
war upon tho “traitors” of the South.
According to Wilson tho Almighty is
alono responsible for what ho and bis de
nounce as “the most wicked and cause
less rebellion” ever known. The South
ern people were only tbo passive instru
ments in tho bands of Providence, and
therefore it is in order for Wilson to re
tract a good many hard things he has
said about them. Won’t his trooly loyl
brethren give it to him, though, for ex
pressing such heterodox opinions?
The absurdity and injastica of “com
pulsory” education has lately been
strongly illustrated in New York city. A
youth named John Smith was arrested
under the act and committed to Randall’s
Island on tho charge of vagrancy; and
now it appears that his father is a poor
invalid whose wife is dead, and whe is
entirely dependent upon the boy for
aid and assistance. The fanatics who
passed the law ought to be made to sup
port the man. That would perhaps oool
their crazy enthusiasm on the subject.
Mr. Felton’s Pronunclamento
We print, in another column, the
port of a conversation between a repre
sentative of the Atlanta Herald and the
Hon. W. H. Felton, Congressman elect
from tbe Seventh district. Mr. F., it
will be recollected, was elected to that
position last fall by about 80 votes, over
the Hon. W. H. Dabney, tbo Democratic
nominee, after the party bad been de
moralized and almost rent asunder by
the unfortunate nomination, in the first
place of Mr. L. N. Trammell, and then
a change of candidates in the heat of the
contest.
These things being considered, it seems
to us Mr. Felton should not put on quite
so many frills, or talk quite so grandly
to who must be nominated for Governor
next year, and predict such grewsome
suits to the Democracy if the people
fit to differ with him in selecting a candi
date. We fear Mr. Felton’s head has
been slightly turned by his lucky scratch,
and that he imagines himself the dicta
tor in Georgia politics. Perhaps it might
be well for him to overhaul the log-book
of his memory, and when he finds the
celebrated case of the “three tailors
Tooley street,” to mako a note of it. It
might also be well for him to remember
that the Seventh District is not the State
of Georgia. A squeeze through for Con
gress in that district by the skin of bis
teeth does not, it appears to us, warrant
his lordly and conclusive manner of set
tling the gubernatorial question. That
sort of thing sometimes exercises real in
fluence, but then it must have strong
backing. Tho idea of its being tried on
this instance, 13 so refreshingly ludicrous
that Mr. Felton must really pardon us
we retire behind the door and have a good
laugh. Tho idea that because he demor
alized the party m his district he can do
it in tho State, and perhaps squeeze him
self into tho Governorship—eh, Mr. Fel
ton ?—is so preposterous that onr opinion
of his judgment instantly drops ever
many degrees below zero, while our esti
mate of his vanity mounts proportionally
high.
If Mr. Felton lives till next year he will,
we predict, find out a good many things
that he doesn’t seem to know now. That
independent” candidate may ran against
tho people’s choice 03 indicated by
Democratic convention, but he will be
placed where be belongs—in tbo Radical
ranks, and bo laid out as cold 03 a wedge,
There is no room now in Georgia for
more than two parties, and thero will bo
even less in 187G. The man or men, who,
in that eventful year, shall attempt
disorganize or check the anti-Bad-
ical host3 in their grand march against
the common enemy, will be buried
deeply in the grave of public scorn and
reprobation that even tbe divining rod
a fat office will fail to find them.
Suspending Action npon *‘Enfostmenl”
Cases at the Soath.
A Washington special to the Courier
Journal, of Monday, says Attomey-Gener-
al Williams in a conversation the day be
fore, with the correspondent, “explained
his recent conduct in suspending further
action npon the cases arising in the South
under the enforcement act, by stating
that bo thought it useless to prosecute
them in advance of tbe decision of tbe
United States Supreme Court upon the
cases already appealed, which decision
would determine the constitutionality of
the law, inasmuch, 03 in all probability,
tbe circuit courts would follow tbe decis
ion of Judge Bradley. For the like reason,
ho had reduced tho force of special agents
employed in working up testimony for
these cases. Among others, he had noti
fied Hester that ho had no farther need
for his services. Judge Williams denied
tho report that ho had dismissed Hester
because he was going to write a book
upon outrage matters, and said that he
knew nothing of Hester’s purpose to
write a book. Hester’s dismissal was
only a part of tho general policy of delay
ing further proceedings under tho en
forcement act till the Supreme Court shall
decide npon it3 validity.” As this is
about the only decent act of Williams’
official life, it ought to bo set down to
bis credit.
Last Week’s Cotton Figures
The Financial Chronicle’s cotton state
ment made up to last Friday night shows
that the total receipts for tho week end
ing that day reached 21,891 bales,
against 22,199 bales last week, 22,190
bales tbe previous week, and 37,769 bales
threo weeks since, making tbe total re
ceipts since tbe first of September, 1874,
3,340,973 bales, against 3,600,814 bales
for tbe same period of 1873-74, showing
a decrease sinco September 1, 1874, of
259,841 bales. Tho exports for tbo week
were 37,003 bales, of which Great Britain
took 36,019 bales. Stocks as madenp
that evening, 433,923 bales. From this
statement it appears that compared with
the corresponding weekof lost season,there
is a decrease in tho exports this week of 32,
577 bales, while tho stocks to-night are
76,43-4 bales more than they were at thi3
time a year ago.
Reports by telegraph to tbe Chronicle
represents that the weather “the past
week has been favorable for cotton in the
more southern sections of tho South, but
in tho most of tho northern half of those
States tho temperaturo lias continued
lower than desirable. As a consequence
of this prolonged cold period, much cot
ton planted has failed to come np, and
some that i3 up is dying out and making
re-planting necessary.”

A young gentleman from Miltedgovillo
affirms that during tbo terrific storm
which raged on Monday, tho 3d instant,
in that old Capital of tho State, with the
fear of the cyclone beforo their eyes, all
hands went to prayer with the prompt
ness of Mussnlmen at tho cry of the
Muezzin.
After tho storm they roso from their
knees and wero comforted. Wo have
heard of, and seen this spasmodical piety
manifested on shipboard during a galo off
Barnegat, but nover dreamed that tho
moorings of old mother earth would be
como so loose as to necessitate similar
action on land. Possibly that youth was
romancing; but at all events this moral
suggested: Don’t depend npon terra
firma and smooth sea3 to stand on, or sail
npon always, bnt prepare for the worst,
and put your house in order before the
coming of that dreadful day when time
shall be no more, and tbe pitcher of life
shall be broken at tbe fountain. Verbum

One Way to Waste Money.
The New York Times has » sensible ar
ticle on the absurd style of advertising
practiced so. commonly, such as the use
of “circulars,” etc., which, so far from
drawing custom, absolutely repels it by
prejudicing the persons who are thus an
noyed. They are thrust into one’s hands
in the street; or into his letter box; or
the servants are kept continually running
to the door to receive the delusive en
velopes, which have the appearance of
enclosing invitations to dinner, or such
like pleasant entertainments, bnt which,
on being opened, prove to contain only an
advertisement.- The disgusted recipient
naturally resolves that the obtrusive
vendor shall never get a penny of bis
money. The Times remarks:
“For when probable purchasers, de
cent, respectable folk with money, wish
for anything, and do not know exactly
where to go "for it, they look into the ad
vertising columns of some respectable
newspaper, and there, under its proper
bead, they find what they want—that is,
if the dealer has been wise enough to ad
vertise in a discreet and profitable way,
instead of wasting his substance npon a
sort of announcement which, at best, is
useless, and wbicb, with the bettor class
of buyers, might cast suspicion upon
him. Newspapers have become the ac
credited and well established medium of
all kinds of announcements to the public.
From a proclamation of the bead of tbe
government to the announcement of a
house-maid that she wants a place, com
munication with the public is naturally
and properly conducted through newspa
pers. It could not well be otherwise,
considering the place which the daily
newspaper holds in modern civilisation.
Advertisements in newspapers, there
fore,‘.have a propriety, a sort of legiti
macy, and a weight which pertain to ad
vertisements in no other form. A dis
creetly-worded advertisement in a re
spectable paper is in itself a sort of prom- ’
ise of discretion and respectability on tbe
port of the advertiser. Irregular and
fanciful advertisements, on tbe contrary,
are likely to do something at least to cast
suspicion, in these very particulars, npon
tbe person who makes use of them.”
Tlie Successor to the “Bloody
Shirt.”
The Courier-Journal in its lively way
rattles off these suggestions about a new
subject, which in the prevailing dullness
lias been taken for a text for editorials in
divers Radical newspapers:
The longer-headed of tbe Bepnblican
leaders are beginning to realize the fact
that the disloyal dodge has played oat.
It is, &3 Sellers observed of bis proposed
’comer on mules,” good enough for 1
'side issue,” bnt not “tbe thing itself.’
Ob, no; that which is to revolutionize
parlies—tbe Genuine Oriental Optical
Liniment, destined to cure all tbe sore
eye3 in the Republican Hospital—has
religious label to it. The outrage busi
ness is gone into bankruptcy. A one-
legged rebel with a patch npon tbe seat
of bis breeches is no longer an object of
patriotic fury. He scarce furnishes the
imaginative intellect matter for cariosity.
There is in the American character a
certain good-natared robustious common
senso which submits to a humbug
only as long as it is profitable or amus
ing. Tbo confederate scare-crow served
its turn and Berved it well. But there is
an end to all thiDg3, even an end of
spread-eagle palaver, and the people,
tired of the era of inflamed and monoto
nous hypocrisy, have made an end of tho
wretched cant under cover of which so
much stealing ho3 been done the lost ten
years. Tho more astnto of the Republi
can leaders, over-refined in political man
agement, understand this, and having
nothing left in the party magazine but
tho wisp3 of exploded torpedoes, along
with inexplosive fire-works, they are
looking around for fresh combustibles.
The new thing, therefore, which i3 to
cbocr all hearts and redeem the honor of
tho flag is tho union of tho Democratic
party and tho Roman Catholic Church !

Tho Cyclone in Talbot County.
Terrible as was tbe reality, wo are glad
however to announce that tbo reports of
tho late irrcsistiblo tornado were sonm
what exaggerated. Thus, from Mr. A. A.
Gamble, of Cuthbert, a worthy elder in
tho Presbyterian Church, who was in at
tendance upon Presbytery at Geneva
when the catastrophe occurred, we learn
thatnono of tbe houses or improvements
of his brother, Captain Gamble, wero in
jured, though his entire corn crop was so
literally destroyed that hardly a vestigo
of tho plant could be discovered. Cotton
was just peeping from tho surface and
escaped all injury. Mr. Gamble drew a
moving pictoro of the district npon
which tho storm fiend spent its fury.
Whole forests were levelled like so many
ten-pins, and one church, surrounded
with a venerable oak grove, so complete'
ly demolished that the very pow backs
and weather-boards wero split into small
pieces, and tbe trees tom up by the roots
or broken off.
At one spot bo saw near fifteen persons
killed or wounded, and all nature seemed
wrecked and convulsed. Tho people,
however, were moving with commenda
ble promptness for tbo relief of the suf
ferers, and sending in supplies of every
description. It is to be hoped that the
people of Georgia will seo to it speedily
that nono of their fellow-citizen3 who
