Well Said.—Constitution: The law creating the Southern Claims Commission was tacked to the army bill in 1871, and there was a condition that it should die at the end of two years. It ia etill going on, however, and the shameful truth in connection with it u that there are Dem ocrats in the Houeo who are williBgto vote to continue it. Wa want tho names of these patriots.

Savannah News: The steamship Gate City carried on her trip to New York yesterday 600 packages of fruit and veg etables, besides a large mcscellaneoas cargo. Three gentlemen near Dawson bagged thirty-two rabbits In a single hnnt. Wrong.—The Daweon Journal says: ■We are very sorry indeed to know that Memorial Day—26;b instant—will not be observed in Dawson. In this respect our city is very much behind other small towns in the State. A Sudden Deatti.—ffrifin New*: We learn yesterday of the sudden death of Mr. Ignatius Terrill, who liveB on the edge of P>ke, and is well known in this city. He retired on Tuesday night in ex- oelient health, and fell into a sound slsep. His wife, on waking up in the night dis covered that ha was dead. We did not learn to what cruse his death is attribn- ted. Mb. Smith Clayton will lecture in Griffin next TaeEday night. We bespeak for him a fall bouse.

Be was in an entirely nude condition having nothing npon his person, save three live snails suspended by a calioo string from his neck. Tho poor creature appeared harmless, bat was perfeotly ravenous for food. He could give noac- eount of himself, save that his name was Old Yaller Joe. The Ordinary took tem porary charge or him. Thomasvuxx Times: The Txlxosaph and Messenger cooly credits the Enter prise with several local items whioh ap peared m this paper last week. All right We osn stand it if the Enterprise oan. We beg pardon; but as both papers are bo good, and npon such excellent terms, too, with eaoh other, we trust no serious result will follow. We also mean and sedulously endeavor to give all of our eeutemporaries their dues, but mistakes wjll occur In the best regulated famllhe Tsm Thomasville Horticultural Fair tfffi be held on the 30tb of April, end in that land of flatters will, as usual, be grand success.

There will also be horse racing, walking matches, bag races, tub races, etc. Hkayt Lose.—Talbotton Standard: The* damage to crops and lands by the recent rains, according to the opinion of a' gentleman who knows, in one district in Talbot county, amounts to mere than f 8Q000. The damago to public bridges in this county i3 nominal. Homemade Tia.—Ssys the Hineeyille Gazette: Through the kindness of Capt. Wm. Hughes, Sr., we have received a fine sample of tea raised and prepared nnder his immediate direction. In strength it is superior, and in flavor equal to any of the choicest brands of imfibrted tea. ' *A Cotcmskdablx Movement. — The GaxtlU prints the following notice: The surviving members of the different volunteer companies which entered in the tetviia of the late Confederacy from Liberty county are requested to meet in Hiqesvilie Saturday, 26:h April next. The representatives of those who died daring or since the war are included in thi# call, as well as thoso who entered the service as members of the companies frbm Liberty county who are residents of other counties.

Boberson’e Wile son, aged six years, went out to dare the cows home. He lost bis way and remained in tho woods all night, llbch anxiety was felt, and several p»r- -ties were searching for Mm. He was fond next morning. As soon as he re alised that he was lost he laid down and slept through the night. The Cochran Enterprise gives a harrowing account of the tragical end cf Mr. Berry A. Armstrong, who resides a few miles from that place. The animal became came tightened, started off rapidly, and r. A. was thrown it cm the buggy joo to tho front axle, and he, in some amy. bsc .-ue entangled to the wheels iio.th >•-. ImtH-.-aibi-j for. him to ex- tscutr r mu .-If. The tout* continued to vfta, and Mr. Armstrong was thrown vio lently, bis bead and seek striking * tree, almost severing his bead from his body. Mr. Nichols, who was only swbori s dis- tsnoe off, ran te him as quick ae possible, but saw when he arrived, that Mr. Arm strong had fallen never to rise again. His wife and children also witnessed the horrible scene (it being only about fifty yards from his home) and were Boon kneeling at bis side. Toeir cries for mercy, (bat their husband and father might be spared from such a terrible doom, were perfectly heartrending. Bet, alas, the bend of death-bfd already ebook the uniorients man, and ha now lay at the feet of his loved ones a lifeleea corpse. Died.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun; Col onel John H. Lovelace died at Hamilton on Tuesday at 3 o’clock p. m. He was about fifty-five years of age, end leaves a wife and three small children. He was educated at the North, raised in Troup county, and came to Hamilton in 1866, at which time he was elected President of Hamilton Female College, and had held the position Outil his death. The remains will be interred at West Point to morrow m the family burying ground. He was a man of much public spirit, and none stood higher in the community. He was one of nature’s noblemen, and his loss will be greatly felt »iT*- ’ Death op an Old Citizen.—Albany News: Mr. F. O. Welch, a former citizen of Albany, died here on Sunday morning last at the residence of his brother, L. E. Welch. He wab born in April, 1810, and had just completed his 69th year. He moved to Georgia in 1837, settling at Miiledgeville, whence ho removed to Albany, and entered the drug business.' He remained here till 1869, when he re turned North. His disease,consumption, had confined him to his bed for about six months previous to his death, which was quite unexpected to many of his friends. At the time of his death he waa on a visit to his old home, Albany. Mr. Welch was for a long time identified with the progress and welfare of Alhany ( and was one of her beet and most enterpris ing citizens. His funeral was largely at tended. Personal.—Bistop Gross is ia Albany, and will ptobsbly be invite! to . deliver two of bis very popular lectures ia that oity before leaving. The Southerner and Appeal editoi’a head is Ievri as the following will show A young man of mature years, oom- mendable habits, disposition amiable- weight 195 pounds, is desirous of corres ponding with several young ladies with a view to matrimony. Address “A. B. C., P. O. Box 12, MoVille, Ga.”—South Qeor gian. The Appeal adds: Here’s a ohanoe, but, as we view things, we are inclined to think that the chanoe is that 195 pounds of idiot or dis gusting self conoeitis offered to the young lady who is simpleton enough to accept it. Bravo! Gubebhatobial. — Tho same paper says: If there are many dark horses tied out in the gubernatorial woods, they, together with those alreedy mentioned, will en cumber the delegates to the convention which will nominate. Toohbsbobo,according to the Southerner and Appeal, is competing with Macon in the price of corn. Market reports quote oom in Macon at 65 cents, by the car load, while in Toombsboro it can be bought for 65 cents per single bushel. What say our grain merchants to that? The grain crops are very promising in Irwin county, but the community has sustained a very heavy loss by the de struction of no less than seven expensive bridges by the late flood. The Appeal would rather see Congress a t out its full term until March, 1881, han adjourn without repealing the election laws. Went it Heavy.—Borne Courier: We are Informed by the dealers in fertilizers tbat at least twenty-five per c?nt. more of these articles have been sold in Borne this season than ever before. Every' thing indicates that a large crop of cotton will be planted. A Good Showing.—Tho H»wkin3ville Dispatch says: Eighteen thousand one hundred and fifty bales of cotton have been shipped from Hawkinsville daring the season just ending, and there is a!aufficientnum her of bales in the warehouses to run the shipments up to about twenty thousand bales. Tke guano receipts for the season inn up to one thousand five hundred and seventy-five tons, worth, at forty dollars per ton, sixty-three thonsand dollars. The country papers contains unmer- one accounts of the disastrous effects of the late rain And wind storms. Col. Butherford won goldon opinions at the delivery of his Paris lecture in At lanta on Thursday night. The Constitu tion thus speaks of it: Last night Colonel John C. Butherford, of Macon, delivered at (he opera house bis leotnre on Parity to an elegant audi ence. He took his hearers from New York to Parip, and there led them through the beautiful mazes of that great city, The speaker’s style was so pleasant that he at once enlisted the interest of all his hearers. There were many pointB in the lecture. It was fall of information, which wae imparted in a fresh aid attractive style. There was plenty of humor to keep the listener in expectancy of some other genial play of fansy. There were brilliant fiiehes of wit and some keen sat ire. At times the speaker was qnite elo quent. He passed gracefully from one topic to another, and linked nil of them together in a flowing strain of continued attractions. The lecture concluded with a contrast between'the care Franca takes of her maimed and dead heroes and the negligence which our own government ha* allowed to fall over the noblest sol diers who aver fought and died. The demand npon the Colonel for the repetition of his leotare is coexistent only with the boundaries of the State. PstflXXHTXABY RECEIPTS.—Constitu ■ ton: Yesterday Colonel Nelms, the prin- cipal keeper of the penitentiary, receiv ed several accessions to bis foroe of oon victs. The following is a full list of the aooessions: Sam. Williams, bnrglisy from Wilkin son, fear years; sent to Old Town. Riohard Etneredge, anon, three yean; from Wilkinson; sent to Old Town. Asher Millin, arson, Meriwether, /or life; sent to ooal mines. James Hopkins, murder, Coweta coan- ty, for life; sent to Coal City. Isaao Wood, burglary, Felton, for five years; sent to coal mines. The recruiting goes bravely on. Tht Gbaxand tee Blue.—Capt. Mil- ledge, Marshal of the day yesterday in At lanta, had an interesting correspondence with the new Federal Commander, Gen. Henry J. Hunt, oovering an invitation to him and his command to participate in the decoration of the Confederate graveB. The response of the General is couched in courteous terms. He regrets that their recent arrival would prevent the turning out of them in a body, but ac cepts ths invitation in graoeful terms for himself and officers. T-ie General also tendered the use of tho regimental band for the occasion. The whole affair wss gracefully conducted. Col. W. O. Toggle hae paid over that 572,000 to the Governor and taken his receipt. Qalte n good windfall for onr old Commonwealth, for which the tax payers return thanks, and CoL Tuggle Is entitled in a no little degree to the praise. Imfobxamx Action or the Richmond County Grand Just.—Chronicle and Sentinel: Yeats.day the Grand Jury asked to have the poll liste of the recent election in this ooiinty given them, in order that they might indict snob voters as swore falsely, when challenged, with regard to the payment of tares. Judge Snead promptly complied with’ the re quest end the lisle are bow with the Grand Jury for inspection. Every good citizen will be glad to know that the Grand Jury are determined to do their put to wet da suppressing one of the cry ing evils of the timee—illegal voting. It is now in the power of the Grand Jury to tender service of inestimable value to the community that-they represent. We hope that they will not falter in tfaework they beve undertaken. They should oar*fully compare the lists with ths Tax Colleotor’ books sn'd should promptly, indiot every challenged voter who swore felsely about the payment cf his taxes. The last eleetion was not an exceptional oue by any means. It is charged that there has been more or less fraud perpetrated in all the elections of the past few years, and there is good rea son for supposing tbs charge Is trite. But a commencement mast be made some where, end the Grand Jury have taken op the lest oontest, and they will do their duty thoroughly and fearlessly we have no doubt. When they have in dicted those whom they have reason to believe violated the law, the responsibili ty Will then rest with tie oourt and the petit juries. Unless the atatutes against illegal voting are rigidly enforced elec tions by. the people will soon become a mockery. We truat that the matter will bo sifted to the bottom. This false swearing and illegal voting by blade or white Bhould be checked and punished incontinently. The exchange of Augusta seven per cent bocd3 for sixes, promises to he a sig nal ancoeae.- The saving in interest to the city will amount to thousands of dol lars. It seems that the doom of high rates of interest in future will soon be sealed. **'■?/■ 1 The statue of the Confederate soldier to surmount the, • Savannah monument has arrived and though not ready to b, placed in position will be on exhibition until elevated. Fbom the Savannah News: A'Schooner Sunk ax hxb Whab The sohoooer Francis E. Hallock, whioh was cleared on Wednesday for New York, with a cargo of lumber, end was to have sailed for her destination yeste denly filled and sank at the Cei road wharf early in the morning. There were reports that she bed been sen tied by some evil disposed parties, instigated by personal malice, but bow this oould have been accomplished without arousing the offieers and erew who were aboard, is a mystery. The captain’s supposition is that she may have started a seam abont the centre well from some unknown oanse and filled rapidly. At eleven o’clock on Wednesday night, the eaptain states, he examined all the pnmps before retir. ing, and found everything right, and the first intimation he bed of the aoeident was by the water rushing into the oabin. The wrecking boat, Forest City, with steam pnmp3, was engaged in pumping her oat, and as soon as she ia'free she will be run np cn the bank for examination. Dr. F. H. Mill.—Columbus Times: This venerable gentleman, distih. guished scholar and eminent di vine is now in car city, attending the Baptist Convention. He has been elected Moderator of the Convention, a position he has graced by his splendid executive ability for many years past. The many friends of the Doctor are pleased to see him in Columbus, but none are more rejoiced than the Univer sity students who in diye that have passed sat nnder his teachings. The Baptist Slate Convention, now sitting at Colnmbue, have elected the following officers:: Rev. P. H. Mali, D.D., LL.D., Moderator; Bev. G. B. McCall, Clerk; Bev- T. H. Stoat, Assist ant Clerk.—Sun-Enquirer. Fob Carrying Concealed Weapons. Yesterday an officer from Seale, Ala. passed through the oity with a negro, whom he captured near Tnakegee, en- rontefor Seale. The charge was oarrying concealed weapons. Whew! The Sub saj£: Next Wednesday has been appointed for (he trial of B. U. Palmer, nnder in dictment for the murder of Colonel W. L. Salisbury. It is expected he will cer< tainly be tried this court, as the prosecu tion ia ready and it is thought the de fense is. Tho trial will take place in Bussell connty, Alabama. Damage nunc the Rain.—Boena Vis ta Aryus: A vast amount of sngar cane has been washed np by the rain. We learn that some farmers had it washed up in piles large enough to fill a wagon. Clovebin South Georgia.—Tho Ar. of his own. The rt-p'y wa. ;bit. he had 200 sores and two mules. We proncunotd him a bonarz i king, and told our fair friend to catch him it she oould.

Every attention wae shown onr comfort, and the journey, Instead of being tedious, press.ted an attractive variety throughout. We had a moat comfoitable night on the sleeping car without haring, s a n-ual, to pay extra for the upper berih or have it let down in ter- lOiem overhead. Next morning brought t» to Brunswick, and thvwrher, being roused up betimes, beheld, for the first ume in he dare not say how long, the eon “ rise up and bathe the world in li^ht.” Tne slant javelins of gold qnic'.ly darud through the ranks of the pines and soon the solemn •onthem forest waa ablazr with eastern sp:endor. At Bruns rick the snug lithe etea met Florence lay in waiting, and speedily bore ns along the beautiful waters ot Cum berland aoond. A party from Macon, con- Mating of Ool. H J. Lamar, Mr. O.

These gentlemen had been en.oying a season of hunting and fishing at “ Bunkley’e.” They were enthosiastio u praise ot thi enjoy ments they had found in their experitaca by flood ana fluid. They hid stopped with Mr. William Bonkley who zeeps o-e of the pnb- lio houses ac High Point and pronounced h m a most excellent host, guide and com panion in the celightful sports of hunting and fishing. Bonkley seems to have, in one of tho current phrases, “ a fat thing of it.” He settled on the i land some years ago with a proprietorship to a hundred or two ticiea if land bat with a viitual carte blinche to every thing arcuad him. He has grtzed, hunted, fltheuatd foraged theieiand aa libitum, and now ho has built a hotel, has about him large herds ot fine horses and cattle, and is on the high road to a for tune. This only shows what o.n be done by the judicious combination o’ a little capital with tho necessary enterprise. Thousancs of uncoined foitimeslie hurried iu the waste F laoes or our Utate wa'tinj to be called orth by the magic touch of oip'tal or by the resistless demand of intelligent labor. To be specific, it is high time that Georgia was loosing more thorough y to her inte rests in the matter of pleasure and htalth resorts. The State is rich in variety of cli mate and ecenojy, mountains and sea coast offering ever} natural attraction, and thou sands of dollars that go elsewhere could fiud the pleasure and sanitary inprovement they seek hero at home. Of ths Southern States Virginia in eummet and F.otida in winter are reaping large rewards from their placos of resort. The amount of money left in Bonthwestern Virginia by summer visitors is, I dare say. equal .o that realized from the tobacco crop. There is no good reason why O-mbotland Island should not very soon beoome a popular and largely attended sea- aider sort. No whero is there finer bathing and besides the fashionable pleasures, there are the additional ones of the finest fishin;: and hunting. Fish are everywhere and o:l every kind, and deer and smaller game are plentiful. Tho drive along the beach is not surpassed, barring improvements, by Ocean Avenne at Long Branch, or Belmont at Newport Resuming our joarnev, we pass next the ivy-grown ruins of Hnngeness, that mourn ful monument a” in all the imploring beauty of decay” of the noblest civilization that ever perished, pierced through with the poisoned arrow ot fanaticism—a civilization of which the fair flower and fine fruitage will never come again, and of whioh, ono sometimes feels, the noblo memories are far too obsolescent. At 10 o’clock we disembarked at the an cient town of Femanaina. This little city by the sea is doing a thriving business and bui divg np as fast as any coast town in the State. It is sufficiently in favor as a place of resort to enppoit a very largo and elegant hotel—the Egm nt. which has had an ex cellent season. The remaining fifty miles of onr j cum y wj accomplished by rail in four hours, a rlow rate of travel, but one that we did not mind, as our ronte lay through tho typioii Florida country and the sights and a-ones tbat successively present ed themselves were extremely interesting and picturesque Vast s retches of pine forest carpeted with tho perennial wiregrass, great ewampe onvroning some smooth flew mg stream, growing a euse wealth of ever green vegetation and fast ened from tree to tree w.th the 1-ng grey moss, banks of wild flowers of exquisite odor and color, here and thsre a pellucid, aolivo stream shaming the sluggish ooze of bayon and lago n, and, lODgo intervallo, a smoky ham let made important only by the circumstan ce of being a station on the railway—these made up .the panorama of onr ride from Feinaudma to Jacksonville. Beautiful and picturesque it was frem a purely resthotio point of view, but to the practical eoose the thousands of unused acres and millions of wasting resources seemed a flagrant viola tion of the whole dectlogue of political eoonomy. Surely, with the overcrowded cities of ihe East and the rapid occupation of the West, it cannot bo lorg before the gus sayi. - i ti( j 0 0 ? j mm ig ra tion wi’l turn Uonthwaid Mr. G. W. B.

He fail ed to attend Laurens oonrt, whioh oironm- stanoe was attributable to his wife’s ill ness.

President Cox will give him a re ception at the ehapel of the College on tbat night, and ali of Mr. Bacon’s former pupils are respectfully invited to meet him there. We extend to him a most cordial welcome. Bill Arp will deliver the the address of welcome to the Georgia editors. Having been solioited to do so before leaving Mecon, Major Smith consented in the following note, which we elip from the Carteraville Express: •‘Messrs. Founts, Mom and Tumlin, Com mittee, and Gentlemen— “I have yonr request before me.

Why attempt to describe what to most of your readers ^nuat bo ar old, old story—tho sweet balmy airs, tha slomburous fragrance, the txop.o bloom, the restful beneaiction, the keen, hauntiDg delights with which this favored spot is clothed npon ? No place like it in us sea son for the worn and weary to rest and re new, tor the strong and unspent to play their rigor and enthusiasm, for th9 cynio to ewe-ten, for the poet to make his sonnet, for the bon vivant to revel, for the lover to rave his glorious madness—for “all sorts and conditions of men” and women to re joioj in tne enjoyment of aa nearly a dupli cate of the garden of Eden as these evil days ot rank ntilitorianUm admit. “ Every prospect pleases and only man” and the prices of Florida curiosities are vile. When one has traversed tho noble avennes that interspace the long lines of live oak and loitered long enough among the rare flowers, tbs great river invites him to its broad ex panse, revealing a new world of pleasure. And thuB in amphibious loxuaiy, *• ono foot on land and one on sea,” between active enjoyment and paseive pleasure, one is and does purely what one pleases through the cloudless, perfect days, half dreaming that he hia fallen upon operennial land of Jane and that it is the Virgilian instead of the mechanical age. But the shriek of a steam er’s whistle cleaves this high Bnskin mood, startles tha dreamer into remem brance that it ia the 19th century, and, if ho belongs to the press craft, sends him off seeking what news matter and letter stuff he may spear on hfs pmcil’upoiut. Accordingly it becometh yonr correspon dent to repoit that the season which is dos ing has been an unusually good one. It is estimated by accurate computation that not lesa than 14.000 visitors hate been in Flori da dating the winter, and nino-tonth of these have touohed at Jacksonville. All the hotels here have done a very good business They will close the first of Msy, as that is considered the close of tho season and tho summer eon on their wines pats to fight the birds of postage whose golden feathers line the delightml nests that these first- class hotels are. In another week there will be few visitors here, and the place will settle down to its long summer. Other businesses are brisk enough here.

An eye witness relates the particulars as follows: Mr. Heider was employed on the con verter platform in the steel works, having charge of the metal troughs which lead from the cupola to the converters; and while passing from one vessel to an other over a plank which waastretohed across the pit underneath the stack, hud there for the convenience of workmen in repairing the converters, a mass of white- hot “sknll” metal, about twenty feet long, from three to four inches thick and weighing nearly two tons, having bacome detached from the briok work by cooling, came crashing down npon him from the mouth of the stsok, breaking the plank on which he stood, and precipitating him face downward to the bottom of the pit-, when the mass separated into two pieces, one of whioh, weighing about a ton, fell on him, completely covering him from his head to his feet. While a number of his fellow employes were collecting abont him with orowbarB, etc., prepara tory to making an effort to release him from his frightful: sitnation, those who stooped down and looked under the mass of metal could see that he was enveloped in a bright flame, and witness his ago nizing efforts to escape, while every movement of hiB armp, legs, or body only increased the horrible torture. In a moment or two, whioh must have seemed an age to the imprisoned, man who was slowly burning np before the eyes of bis friends, they got their bars underneath the “skull” and pried it up about a foot, and he was dragged forth—a mass of hissing, seething flesh. Every vestige of clothing was burned from his Lody, with the exception of his heavy shoes; the hair of his head waa scorched off; his body, from his head to his feat, was one huge raw blister, and his left thigh had bean broken by the fall, the bone pro- trading several inches. It was a horri ble eight, from whioh strong men turned away with a shudder. He was carried to his home, and was unconscious to the time of hie death, suffering terribly until the final dissolu tion. Peace the Only Hope ol Pres* peril*. Frem Senator Davis’ speech in the (Senate on the list of April J It is, Mr. President, in my judgment, the imperative duty of the hour, instead of turning the attention of the people back into history with its animosities, to direot it to the troubled business interests of the country and the way to relieve them. With the past buried and disons- sions on living issues the people would soon regain confidence, which is essential in any plan for relieving the present hard times. It may be that such a course wonld affect the fortunes oE parties, for both parties in Congress on any question of practical legislation fall to pieces, bat it would have the moat beneficial effect npon the f ortunes of the country. With out intending to reflect upon the patriot ism of either party, it does appear to me that the speeohes on the pending bill do cot represent the wishes or opinions of the masses of the people of either seotion. Experience bn3 taught them that legiti mate business principles, which lead to wealth and social happiness, require a cessation of agitation on past subjects, and that sound policy dictates the culti vation of peace and good will between the sections. The country, Mr. Presi dent, cannot be prosperous so long as the cld confliot between the North and the Sonth is nsedat each recurring Pres idential election as an instrumentalit y of party success. Edward Atkinson, the Boston mann faeiurer and politioal economist, is one ol the keenest observers in the oonntry, and the impressions he haa received from a trip through Virginia, the Carolines and Georgia are, therefore, of deoided inter est. Mr. Atkinson reports a general im provement in the business outlook throughout the aeotion and steady pro gresa among both races, and especially the blaoks, who are yearly coming to own and cultivate their land in larger num bers. Mr. Atkinson also finds great im provement in ths relations between the two races—a growing disposition on the part of the whites to give the negro a fair chance and an inorcasing perception on the part of the blacks that their place in the world mast be whst they make it. In short, he finds the South, like the rest of the country, needing nothing else so much sb to be let alone by tbe politicians and allowed to devote its attention to build ing np the fntnre rather than borrowing in tbe past. Tbnnyeon’s Personal Appearance.— Mr. Tennyson, walking in a London park the other day, met a writer, who describes the poet thu3: “He looked tall,somewhat stout, round-shouldered, and he walked with a stick, as though the gout were hanging about his legs or feet. He had a long beard, which almost buried his face, and wore a pair of large, round, Chinese-looking spectacles. He had on a very broad-brimmed, weather-worn felt hat, dark trousers and gaiters, several nndercoals or jackets, covered all over by a thin, sbabby-looking red tweed dust coat, buttoned very tightly, as thongh it were tunoh too small for him. Dangling outside, from what should have been a clean, white shirt front, was a pair of large, gold-rimmed nose spectacles.

Yonrs, eto, J. W. B. The Coming Veto ot tbe Arm* Bill. From ihe National Republican, Sid It baa leaked out through'unofficial sources that President Hayes has gone so far in the serious consideration of his doty in relation to the army bill as to prepare the outlines of a veto of that measure, should the bill pass In its pres ent form. It is farther known that he haa followed the , debate on the bill in both houses closely, and that he has fre' qnently remarked to Bepnblican mem bers who have called upon him at the ffxecntive Mansion during the past week that he is thoroughly in accord with the party in this matter. Aside from this remark, however, he has persistently de clined to give any certain intimation of his intention to sign or veto the bill. The report that he his. prepared tbe outlines of a veto does not, therefore, come from him, nor i3 it made by authority from any cue officially connected with the Administration. It is nevertheless believed to be reliable, and served yes terday to demoralize the Democracy to no little extent as it was circulated about tbe CapitoL Among those who pretend to know something of its contents, and who really should know, the belief is tnter- tained that he will take the broad groand against the bill that it disarms the Na tional Government of proper and legiti mate authority in the control of its own affairs, and practically places that con trol in the bands ot the State govern ments; also, that it goes bo far in its repealing effects as to deprive the legally constituted officers of tho United State, courts of all power to enforco the laws. In short, the enrrent opinion in well informed quarters is that he will in this expected veto endorse or reiterate tbe ar guments advanced by Senator Blaine and General Garfield against tho revolu tionary character of the bill. “Will it do harm ?” This is the ques tion often asked, and the answer is, “it' can not,” for Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup is an innccent remedy, warranted to enntaio neither opium,morphia or anythiog ir ju- rions.

We hid not heard a whistle aince Tha'sdsy. It wm a joyful sound. The rains have been unprecedented and the destruction ot property and loss cannot be estimated. It is fearfully great. Every mill-dam has been washed away. The crops have been hopelessly rained and will have to be replanted and the guano washed out of tho fields, while the railroad is co bacly damaged that all traffic will be suspended for seme time. A greet many travelers were caught between the breaks and are still bold baox at tbe different stations on tbe road.

Every body gathered the>r baggage, and a; half past eleven wa were. n onr way to Camilla, taking the chances for a private oonvej anoe to Albany. All along the way were the wrecks of the lata storm, yet everybody seemed to be good humored, although wondering at the destruo’i n of property. Tho placid countenance of onr friend Slocker was lit up with amazement as ha looked npon the wreck and rn.n about h'm and quietly lay ing aside hie portfolio exclaimed: “Law me, how it hae rained.” AtThomisvfilethe Northern tourists all stopped over to enjoy the comforts at tbe Mitchell House and those of ns only who thongh! wo mast come home, proceeded on to Camilla.

As night deepened around us, we bad mide the six mile post. It was one pond of water after another. About eight o’clock we fonnd ourselves m a large pond aome fifty or a hundred yards out of the road and against a rail fence. A retrograde movement was attempted bnt wa bad not gone far before the hones began to bog and the wagon to settle in the deep mad. Tire apprehension of all had been realized, so they said. They all belong'd to the “I told yon so.” society. There were no tears abed, but a few curate went np from tne aymen that were along. The order to unload wu given. It is im possible, said onr Captain. It must be done, arid tbe driver cr we stay here till morn ng The water was two feet deep. Luckily there wm a fallen tree some six feet from the wagon. A bridge ot ebaire were improvised and slowly one by one we yielded to the in evitable. The sight wm novel as well as in teresting to a looker on if there had been any. To “ooonalog,” as a science, had never been taught in onr theological and mediori colleges, but we know not what we ean do until we are tried. To be “ np log- nm in a wampum,” would bring ont the hid den talent of most auy O'-e. With slew wet feet in the crowd, we reached the shore and after securing two negroes to bring the wagon to land, we started on our perilous journey once more. Three or four miles farther on we were makng the land after passing through a long alol.e when onr horaee almost disappeared again in the bog We were some forty feet from shore, the water nearly three feet deep. There wm no friendly log near by, bnt the command came again “ out.” Again our Captain protested It waa too early for a morning ablution, for A strong was blowing; a cold ehudder|psea- ed ovei£the crowd. The driver stood watt ing for our decision. A happy thought came Into his mind;.our Jehu became a beast of burden and we rode him to shore. He staggered terribly with yonr oor.espondmt. It was a bigger job than he htd ealonlried on The ludicrous side of the picture wm enjoyable, bnt the real side war anything but pleasant We were onos more on tho road and at twelve o'clock we struck camp. At about one another partv arrived in equal plight with about the same experience. A council of war waa held and we determined to hire a negro man and his bnggy to pilot us on to Albany. It wm fortunate, for we never oould have passed in safety the re mainder of the road. At half pMt seven o’clock next moraieg we reached Albany after fourteen hours travel. Weary and worn, we took train for Maoou and reaohed here in safety. No sane man wonld repeat suoh a trip nnder ordinary pressure. I hope I may ntver have it to do. J-ck FLun. Macon, April S3,1879.
