this imparrm- trie! j |
This verdict will doubtless be received
with euroii-e by * m*jeri y of onr read
er. Heretofore custom and precedent
has made Jt a Uw tost when a man m
vadeS'Cbw nudity of a home, end is the
violator of domestic peace, hs takes bis
life in hts hand, un^ thd antiaged bus-
band and head oftbat home has a perfect
xight’tii ahaot the lntru-jet dead. This
has been regarded as justice, not only in
Georgia, but ail over ths civilized world,
for there can bo no legal punishment for
snch a crime. The law can only provide
for pecuniary d*magee,i»r,at most, severe
punishment," in suen cases, but what
amount of monev wu compensate for
the lots of bappmet-s and nonor through
the seducer’s wiles, or wbut term of im
prisonment can sufficiently punish the
suBcreant oho.u guilty of the damnable
crime oft m Bins' * reputation and bring
ing shame, sorrow and disgrace upon
wbat might otherwise prove the abode ot
parity and domestic felicity,
* • * Nevertheless, the verdict
ehowA^ainly unu tact, and we speoially
command it to ihe cautideralion of our
Northern Radical teilow citizens who are
oo nmon ex.’rei-ed over "Southern oivili
zation,'” and ’ tne ijad.quate protection
wbicn rfc 3y assert Is afforded life and
property^!! (hi* section, sltifftbia: that
in Georgtt, at lrast, the taking of human
life is certain to b- followed by swift and
certain justice. It shows that murder
and homicide will sirre'.y meet with the
punishment they deserve, and he wto
kills a fellow man inev,. \bly runs the
risk of ending bis days ou the eciffild.
This verdict, with those rendered in tne
Catherine Hotbern and Cox cases, to
gether with the various executions which
have taken place wityiin the limits of our
State in »nd part year, prove this, and
most decidedly stamp witn falsehood h*
reoent r -sertioo ot Dr. Holland, in Scrib

thing for murder to bo committed, and
for ths murderer to shako his bloody
hands at tba law, and walk the streets
with entire freedom and impunity.
• Cnatbam,” the Atlanta correspondent
of the Newt, relates Ills affecting epf-
tod • in the Hill trial:
Among the female witnesses of bad re
pute, several of whom have been mem
bers of good society in the pas*, was one
not ncknown in Savannah and Florida.
Sae is from one of the best families iu
Tennessee, a con-tin of a distinguished
lawyer engaged in the case, and at one
time was a belie in fashionable circles.
Although rapidly sinking noder the in
roads of consumption and heart disease,
ah* tfiawa traces of ber former beanty
and culture. While on the witness stand
ahe was compelled to retire for medical
attention and stimalsms. The hardest
heart in the coart room grew sad and
tender at the sight of this poor creatnre,
not poor in parse, bnt m everything that
oan make life endurable and eternity de
sirable. There have been many remark
able scenes connected with this strange
trial, bnt none sadder than the appear
ance of Mamie Scruggs on the witness
stand.
Pilino it on Strong.—The Dispatch
thus' speaks cf Hill. His lore for his
wife ie imperial in ite tenderness, sub-
lime- in its partly, and grand in its
strength. All care or hope for himself
seems swallowed up in that wonderful
majestic affection he bears for her. He
believes ber to have been the unwilling
victim in their great trouble, and he is
honest—if man was ever honest—in his
belief.
Pity the object of each devotion bad
xot been mare weriky of it.
Findiko Fault With the Janos.—
-Dispatch: A lawyer said yesterday that
tbe charge of the court to the jnry in the
Hill case woa the “bloodiest charge ever
made to a jury in the history of the conn-
try.”
The same paper quotes other notices of
dissent to Judge Hillyet’s recent charge.
Bnt the Judge we honestly think only did
hie duty, and will bo sustained by the
people. The law was intended to be, and
eaoald be made a terror to evil-doers.
Dispatch: A prominent citizen "said
yesterday that "if Governor Oolqaitt
were to pardon Hill to-day be would make
more reputation in Georgia than he conld
make in ten years, by assuring the fathers
and husbands of the State that he stood
between them in tha defense of their
homes, and granted the pardon for the
nake of morality, peace and order.”
No such motive would make onr pious
Governor interveno in such a case, and
moreover that citizen spoke only for
himself.
Albany News'. Daring the wool sea
son which baa jnet closed, the Central
Bail road Bink of this city hao paid out
between $80,000 and $100,000 cash for
wool. In addition to this, large amounts
have been paid by other parties. Ie is
safe to say that between 300,000 and
and $d>00,009 pounds of fleece have found
n maiket in Albany this spring. The
business is rapidly increasing in propor
tions, and Albany is becoming noted for
the largest market in the State for this
important staple. A pertinent inquiry
is: 'Coaid not much of this wool be
manufactured right here at borne, and
to'good profit? We have plenty of water
power ? Would it not pay ?
Teoublx iHTHjt Mountains.—Consti
tution: Lite Wednesday evening last
* Collector A. B. Clark, was informed by
telegraph of the seizure of a distillery in
Franklin county, near the South Carolina
line,-which was found in fall operation,
with not less than a dozen aimed men
guarding it against seizure by revenue
officials. Mr. Clark’s depnties had made
the seisnreof two illicit distilleries in the
neighborhood, a few days since, and tbs
return of the officers was expected,
hence the armed gathering on tha premi
ses. The moonshiners opened fire on
the depnty collectors as they approached
the still house for the purpose of seizing
it. •..The fire was returned by the reven
ue officials, when a sharp fight ensued,
which listed about ten minutes. The
moonshiners were repulsed and the dis
tillery captured from them. One of the
distillers w c rc seriously wounded and
two others were arrested. The revenue
officers who made the seiznre were Wore,
Hendricks, Shepherd and Fort. The dis
tillers who were arrested will be brought
to,Atlanta and confined ia jail nntil a tri
ne is had.
* When will Congress remove the excess-'
ive tax upon liquors which famishes the
inducement for so much crime and de-
moializitioo, and yet does cot check the
production one whit.
Zn the Cox trial, it is atatod that tha
record «f the testimony alone, covers six
- hundred and fixty-fonr legal cap pages.
The entire record will make nearly eight
•hundred.
The Chronicle end Sentinel on the Hill
trial:
The trial of Hill for the murder of
.Simmons, which bos been progressing ia
Atlanta for some time past, and which
scarcely
place in the Police Gazette, terminated
Tuesday night in a verdict of guilty,
with a recommendation that the prisoner
be confined in the penitentiary for life.
There was a mass of testimony going to
show that Mre. Hill had been orminally
intimate with a number cf men besides
Simmons, and the jury evidently thought
that the latter did not deservee death as
a seducer. The case will be carried to
the Supreme Conrt.

OpOhttobb PxwaioKiD—Hawkinsvill
‘Dispatch i On Thnrsday last Mr. Hard
Fitts, who lives near the line, of Dool
and Worth oowntiev, came np to Hawkins-
ville with a part of his “wool clip,” of
the present season. Daring the day we
met Mr. Fitts and bad a conversation
with him, He is a hearty, robust old
gentleman, sixty-four years of age, ana
weighs two hundred and twenty five
pounds His wife also wtigbs about two
hundred and twenty-five Bounds.
I '- Mr. Pitta ia the father of twenty chil
dren, fourteen, qf whom are mow living,

He h*s lived in the Wiregras?, in his

Ho gathered and sheared this season
2,2-0 head of sheep, and probably stveral
more wero left in the woods, and may yet
be found. Oa Thursday last he sold in
Hawkin.vili- 4,270 pounds of wool, a part
of this eeason’a clipping, for which he re
ceived thirty and a half cents per pound.
Mr. Pitts doesn’t believe in "carrying all
bis eggs in one basket.” and therefore
did cot Bell his entire clipping.
He is not the largest sheep ra.iserin the
■viregrass, but he is both carefnl and at
tentive to hia stock, and follows them
daily through the "range.” Thus he is
enabled to protect. his sheep from^their
enemies—dog J , eagle?, etc. His annual
"wool dip” sells for about ns much as
forty biles of cotton.
Dooly’s Sats—Dispatch: We aro not
trying to paint a moral. Bat we want
to say that Dooly county is fully able to
look after taat safe, Dooly paid for it,
and it’s Dooly’s safe. Fed Leonard took
the contract to move the'safe to Vienna,
and Fed Leonard will movo it too, if it
8honld require a railroad track from Mon

Southron : Judge Hood decided- to-day,

Malicious Mischief.—The Southron
says: While tbe exhibition was in pro
gress at the Academy on Friday night,
some malicious person or persons remov
ed tbe taps from three baggies, on the
grounds and at the close of the exercises,
when the vehicles began to. move off
down the steep and rough road leading
from the building, one of them contain
ing three young men, euddenly lost a
wheel and the whole party came down'
with a crash. The horse terribly fright
ened, made desperate efforts to escape,
bnt was secured in timeio prevent a ruu-
away. None of the occnpants of the bug
gy were injured, which all things consid
ered, is almost miraculous, though the
buggy itself was badly damaged.
lhe editor justly auathemaCz s such a
wicked proceeding.
A Magnificent Psxsbnt.—Talbolten
Register: Mr. J. B. Gorman hs3 been
presented by a prominent aod influential
citizen of Cirtereville with the most val
uable and interesting cabinet of Georgia
minerals ever collected in the State, ex
cept the specimens presented by the Hon.
W. D. K. Peacock to the Smithsonian In
stitute at Washington. Among this
beautiful collection of Georgia ores and
minerals are specimens of gold, hematite
ores, ferro-manganese, mica, stone coai,
variegated marble, lead ore, gray iron ore
from Bartow county, zinc, asbestos, nee
dle iron ore from Cartereviile, garnet
from Paulding county, black oxide o: cap*
per from Habersham county, baryta for
adulterating lead, roofing slate and other
specimens, which reqaired years of care
and labor to collect. With bis collec
tions from Europe, this valuable acquisi
tion probably gives Mr. J. B. Gorman the
best cabinet m Georgia. This cabinet of
American and foreign minerals will be ex

The Newt says: • • r
Colonel Fremont ie now dredging a
new channel along the -Georgia shore
from the upper end of Marsh Island to
the Central railroad wharves, by which
ten feet of water at low tide will be ob
tained. This will open a fine, direct,
and, accompseed w^h any former chan
nel, a large water way from Sing’s Is
land to the city of Savannah. We think
this will materially increase the water in
front of the city. We belleVo ’this par
ticular plan of dredging on the Georgia
shore is due' to Colonel Fremont, - who
demonstrated Ite importance in the per
manency and value of the future com
merce of Savannah.

Is Thebe a Heaven for Lawyers ?—
This is the startli. g heading of an article
in the South Georgia Tim^s. . We smeero-
lv hope so. Reasoning oh the print, the
Times says: ’ • „
This is a startling question, and grows
ont of the arguments of the bar, in the
oiee of Mr. Tys, for killing Mr. Sparks.
After the evidence was full before the
oourt and bir, the counsel for tho de-
ten'je saw it clearly justifiable; a case of
eelf-defense from whioh there was no es
cape, and evon extorted tears of. sympa
thy from the jury over Mr. Tye’s neces
sity. The counsel for 'the prosecution
saw it a case of willful murder, premedi
tated and determined before haud. These
were able lawyers and all understand
well what defense is, and what murder is,
yet (heir professed understanding of the
case is as wide from each other as east
from west And if, after ths evidenoe
was taken, tbe eonnsel had ehifted sides,
their view of the case would have shifted
in the same breath.
Now oar verdant brother ehould under
stand that all this special pleading is
simply professional, and in the line of
business. We do not conscientiously
think there are some good lawyers.

Washington, Jane 19,1879.
A BIO BOW IN THE SENATE.
The flag that was hoisted over tho Sen
ate Chamber yesterday at 12 m. h&B
flattered in the breeze ever since, that
body having been in continuous session
sicoe that honr. The canse thereof
yonr midnight telegrams doubtless dis
closed. . The Radical filibusters, lead by
the New York turkey cock, who grows
more and more insufferably insolent and
unmannerly every day,fought the passage
of the army bill with a characteristic
vigor and venom, and vied with eaoh
other in seeing who could be more of
fensive in tone and manners. Their
leader wss even more discour
teous end ruffianly ia his bear
ing than usual. He bae the
manners, or rather the lack thereof, of a
blackguard, and on this occasion seemed
determined to defy all rivalry.
It was twenty minutes past midnight
when Conkling got on his feet and launch
ed into a furious diatribe against Mr. La
mar for oalling np his Mississippi river
commision bill in the morning and thne
as he charged acting m bad faith by tak
ing up time that should have been de
voted to debating the army bill. Mr.
Lamer at once rose and said that ifConx-
ling charged him with bad faith, or im
plied bad faith against him, “I say to
the Senator from New York”—turning
and looking steadily at the turkey oocb—
“that he ia guilty of a falsehood which I
repel with all tho contempt I feel for its
author.”
This so astounded tho Senate that not
a word was uttered. Mr. Lamar eat
down and Conkling arose and called,
“Mr. President” several times. Tne
chair (Mr. Cockrell) replied, "Tho chair
has recognized tho Senator * from New
York twioe.”
Conkling was too mnch txcited to
know what happened, and in a trembling
voice he BaiJ, "Mr. President, I didn’t,
hear what the member from Mississippi
eaid in tho beginning, but if I under
stood him aright, be charged me with
intentional misBtatement, or implied it.
Wbat did the member from Mississippi
Bay?" *
Mr. Lamar arose and addressed the
Chair.
The Chair—Docs the Sena'.or from
New York yield to ths Senator from Mis
sissippi? .
Conkling made no answer, and twioe
Mr, Lamar asked if he yielded. Conk-
ling turned Mb back and said he would
not hold further communication with the
member from Mississippi. Conkling un
derstood the member from Mississippi to
eay in plain, unparliamentary language,
that what be said was a falsehood. "I
have only to say "(this not being the place
to meaeure with any member the capacity
to violate tho rales of the Senate), I have
only to add that if tha Senator, the mem
ber from Mississippi, impntod to me, or
intended to impute to me a falsehold,
nothing except tbe fsot that this is tbe
8euate wonld prevent me from dsnonnoing
him ob a blackguard and a coward.
[Applause.] Let me be more spsoifio.
Should the Senator from Mississippi, in
the presence of the Senate, charge me by
intimation with telling a falsehood, I
wonld denonnoo him as a blackguard, a
coward and a liar. (Cbls created a de-
oided sensation, and Mr. Conkling oon
ilDUing said :) Bnt as I understand it,
the rules of the Senate ara the only re-
attaints.
Conkling eat down; Mr. Lamar waited
half a moment and deliberately eaid: “I
have only to say to the Sena-or from New
York that he understood me correctly.
I said precisely the word he understood
mo. My language was harsh and un
parliamentary, end I bog pardon of tbe
Senate for it, bnt my language was snch
as no good man wonld deserve and no
bravo man would wear.”
This was applauded. When Mr. La
mar sat down, the chair waited apparent
ly for Mr. Conkling to reply, but the lat
ter, after a moment’s waiting, simply
asked what is tbe question before tne
Senate, and tho filibustering proceedings
were reenmed,
After making his response to Conkling
and before sitting down, Mr. Lamar, in
order that no mistake might be made,
said that be did intend to charge Conk
ling with deliberate falsehood, and that
was what ho intended to say when the
latter refused to hear him.
Cockling will, of course, content him
self with tnis, “you ate another,” response
to tha brand whioh Mr. Lamar publicly
put npon trim, and it may even win him
some renown among the old women and
little boya of bis section, bnt it doesn’t
wipe ont the blister of having nttered a
falsehood and been told of it. His comb
is cat, and henosforth this tnrkey cock
ought, if be has any sbamo, strut and
rnffls a little less. To make matters
worse, that special female friend of whom
I rtoently wrote was in the gallery, and
witnessed ber knigbl’s disgraoe. She re
mained until 3 o’clock this morning, and
when she left was escorted to her carriage
by Conkling. Let us bope, in pity’s name,

IN THB HOUSE,
Since my last letter, thero has also
been some fan, and the galleries are ba
ginning to fill np a little. Mr. MoLsne,
of Baltimore, fluttered the Jacobins pro
digiously on Taesday, and madeonoof
tbe best and most effective speeches I
have ever heard. He is new to modern
politics and ie serving his first Congres
sional term since the Thirty-first Con
gress. He is decidedly a man of affaire,
and has served the country abroad with
distinction, having been Minister to
China and also to Mexico. He is also
brother-in-law to General Joe Johnston.
Ae X said before, his speech was a decided
kit, and made the Radicals mad
madder, maddest. At IeaaS a doz
en of them, headed by Conger and
Hawley, kept np a continuous tush
at him, and the first named old
malignant was, for ones in his life, goad
ed into a genuine passion. MeLane,
however, was more than equal to the com
bined assaults. He tossed Hawley and
gored Conger, and trampled on the email
fry who yelped at their heels. As he
eucoeeds old man Swann who never did
anything, and never Eaid anything—at
least which was audible ten feet off—the
Democracy are to be congratulated on
hie presenoe in the House. He labors
under the double disadvantages of a
weak, thin voice, and too much courtesy
to such old ruffians as Conger, one of
which defect?, however, may, and I hope
will, be oured in time.
The Radicals in tbe House are be
having with their usual "cnssedaeeB”
this week. They filibuster on nearly
every measure proposed by the ma
jority, and have, in their blind
rage, lost all regard for even
the semblance of consistency. They
vote one way one day, and reverse them-
selves next. Tbetr party in both
Houses has become a mere machine,
gnided and moved by a wave of the
band from Garfield in one and Conkling
in the other. I never even imagined any
party in each thorough submission to the
wilt of leaders and of party discipline.
Bat this is modern politics, and if the
Democrats wish to win (hey must adopt
the same polioy.
IN DOUBT.
X mean what Hayes will do with the
armband judicial bills now nearly ready
for his consideration. The Radicals eay
be will anraly veto the latter, and that
opinion seems to me thonronghly justi
fiable in the light of all visible signs and
token?. The Herahl, jeatorday, had a
very significant editorial, doubtless writ
ten by Mr. Nordhoff, its ucuaually acute
and welt informed correspondent here, to
the effect that there was a sharp contest
going on in the Cabinet between Evorta
acd Sherman, the latter advising and
the former deprecating a veto. It will
depend on which is the etrenger with
Hayes what his feeble, mind wdi finally
deciTo upon. This'.is . the generally
ac'-.-p'cd r nclasioo tc-dc.y. I think both
Houses will to morr^iv or Saturday de
cide upon-an adjournment next Tuesday,
bit or mis?, and that if it is a miss as to
any of the bills Hayes will cull them back
in twenty-four fiours. That is in the
event that Sherman is stronger than
Erarts with the mac who is drawing
Mr. Tilden’s salary.

Ike Qraves of Uie Confederate
Dead at Anrieraenvltle.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I
wish, through the cjlnmns ot yonr paper
to submit some facts and snggestiOns in
respeot to the Confederate graves at An-
dersonville, both because, in common
with ell trne Southern people, I-feel
a genuine interest in tbe mat
ter, and beoanae I think I may ia some
degree and unwittingly have had a share in
creaticg the differenoe of opinion that
seems to exist as to the best means of tak
ing proper care of these graves. Several
months ego I visited Andorsonville with’,
party of triends, aud, like almost every
body who goes there, I was impressed by
the stirring contrast presented between
the Confederate aud thaUnion graves. I
at once determined to de what I could to
remove the invidious distinction, and be
gan by getting a gladly given contribu
tion fiom every member of our party.
continued to speak of the matter and
push the project iff tbe vioinity of Ander-
aonville and elsewhere,receiving on every
band abundant encouragement acd
promises of support. My design was to
mark every grave, with a neat, durable
bead-piece ot marble, copying the in
ecripiions on tho present wooden head
boarde,and enclose the whole with a enb
stantisd railing. From estimates
famished me ' by contractors.
I think this conld bo done at a cost not
exceeding eix hundred dollars, In fm-
therance of the plan I wrote also to the
department of national cemeteries at
Washington asking, in view of the
changes making at Andersoaville, whetb
er any action in regard to the Oonfeder
ate graves was contemplated by the an
thontiea in charge, whether they would
be included by the new bripk wall or Iett
without it; whether the keeper of the
cemetery wonld give any attention to
these graves, and whether .the lot of
ground on which they are, now under
crotrol - of the War Department,
with the entire ,care ; and control
Of - tho graves, ' would not be
given to seme of onr Ladies’ Memorial
Associations as the proper oustodians of
tbe Confederate dead. In reply, I re
oeived several oourtawg. communication?
the sabstanoo of which is given in the
letters appended belqw.** , r '
In the meantime, however, I learned
that a movement had been started by the
Memorial Association of Americas, look
log to the removal of the graves from
Andenonvlllo. Not wishing in any way
to oonfliot with bo laudable a design and
oaring only ibat the graves of onr sol
diets receive that xeepeot and cars whioh
is due them from the liv
ing compatriots of ths .me£
wno fell in defense of the Southern cause;
I thought perhaps I had bettor drop the
original design of beautifying and per
petuating the graves at Andorsonville,
and do whatl could to further the.Ameriv
cus Association’s plan of removal, and I
am ready now and at all times to do this
if it be the general wish.
But I still venture to think that much
the botter way ot accomplishing th 1
purpose common to all interested.
Namely: the expression and embodi
iment of a testimonial of tbe South
ern heart to those who died for their
country and oure—is to let the
graves remain at Andersonville, and give
them what we oan of adornment
and perpetuity there. And this for sev
eral reasons: First, removal ot th9 re
mains from the graves will be fonnd both
troublesome and unsatisfactory. Many
of the interments were made in a com
mon trenob, without coffins, and preser
vation of identity will bo impossible.
Wbat is an array of Confederate graves
at Andersonville wonld at Americas be a
heap of Confederate dust, to which only
a nort of general monument could with
ooLgrcity be erected.
Second, if a monument bo intended,
or headstones, by the Amerions Associa
tion, the cost will bo greater; if by no
more, at least by as mnch ss tne coat ot
removal from Andersonville to Ameri
on?.
Third, thero is a moral reason, com
pared with whioh other considerations
are unimportant, Why these grave?,
just where they arc, on a spot famous in
the annals of our great civil war, and
that will long be unaer the eye of the
country, should receive such an expree
eion of Southern feeling towards oar
Confederate dead as ehall show to all the
world that with a great and chivalrio
people, neitner the odinm of failure nor
the dost of a neglectful forgetfulness can
ever, under any ohange of conditions, or
under any stress of circumstances, cover
the memory of thoeo who died ae patriots
for duty. An opportunity which seems to
be provided by the eternal fitnesa of
things to emphasize the existence and
and strength of this just and proper feel
ing would be lost if these graves were re
moved from Andersonville. I'forone,
am for keeping them there—a hundred
and a score of Confederate graves out
here over against the thousands ot
Union ones that lie in billowy ranks
within the strong wall of thn National
burying ground, circumstances not insig
nificant in the light of history; those the
silent, the pulseless pensioners of the
general government, whioh to them at
least has shown none ot the proverbial
ingratitude.of republics; these the tender
care and sacred charge of a grateful
people, who, while consciously and earn
estly discharging their duty to the living
present, can never forget their daty to a
dead past. ,
And yet in doing all that ought to be
done for these graves of my fallen conn,
trymen, I, speaking for one, wculd in
nowise do.it defiantly, or byway of
aronsing or venting sectional feeling.
Snch a spirit wonld be unworthy the dig
nity of a trne patriot and good citizen,
and would defeat itself. That we do, we
do in loyal remembrance of Soatheirn
patriotism and not in revival of the an
gry feelings of obsolete issues. The time
ia not yet ripe for the North fatty to pn>
doratand bow a Southern man can be ft
law abiding, patriotio oitizen and yet de
cline to acknowledge his kinBmen
and countrymen who laid down
life at the eill of country rebels and trait
ors. But suoh a time will come, despite
the bitter anti-southern utterances that
fill tbe air, evoked by the desperate
fortunes of the political party that, hav
ing outlived its usefnlnese and its honor,
seeks by every unworthy means to main
tain its failing grasp of power. Mean
time we of the Sontb, while preserving a
conservative and patriotio temper end
doing the whole duty of good citizenship
towards the whole country, have no need
nor right to bate one jot of our oblige
tion to the past nor forego a single trib
ute to tbe memory of those who
splendidly illustrate Southern
heroism. There could be no more
fitting expression of this feeling
than the care and adornment of these
graves at Andertonville.
I do not wish anything that X have
eaid to be understood as opposing the
plan of the Amerious Memorial Associa
tion. If that shall meet the more gen
eral approval, I shall do all I can to aid
it. But since the matter has already
been brought under discussion, it would
be as well, it seems to me, to have a gen
eral expression of opinion in erdor to
a complete and cordial co-cperation.

Editors Telegraph A Messenger—My last
from ThoniMViUe, Ga., gave yonr readers
an account of the iutereet-ng ceremonies at
tending the unveiling of the Confederate
monument at Tnomasville on tha 10th inst.
aud tbe general Crop prospects of that sec
tion ; this, I hope, will contain no less inte
resting news—th.\t of the favorable pros
pects of tbe agriculturalists of Leon oounty,
Florida. Traveling .from Thomasvillo, Ga,
by way of the Duncanville road as far ae
Duncanville thence by a dull and fearfully
.bad settlement road across thhooun’rj seven
or eight miles, intersecting tbe Bpr.ng Hill
road, and down that road lor seven miles, I
struck into tbe Tallahassee and Monticello
roao at Mr. J. B Crump’d lu% miles from
Tallahassee and down it to the above city.
Alt along the route, exoeptasmall section
just doIow Lnneanville, I found the crops of
corn, cotton and oats, the latter nearly all
saved, most excellent The crops generally
are in fine condition, much to tne croffit of
the labjiers, of whom the moat are freed-
men, and also upon tbe planters cf this sec
tion. X dare say that Leon county will pre-
dace one-fourth, or one-third more this year
than any previous year einoe emancipation.
While the crops in the mein are extraordina
rily good, I must mention in particular that
of Mr. I lia B. Crump’s: this gentleman
having 180 acres in cotton and SCO acres in
oom, besides an abundant crop ot oate and
sweet potatoes; also five acres in tugar cane,
very oxoa-lent, has no grass in his farm,
and with proper seasons from now until ma
turity. and no disaster, will make two hun
dred bales of cottof, or mote, and hia oom
will make from 15 to 20 bushels per acre.
Mx. O., whiles model termer, is not far
ahead of many others whose farms I have
had the pleasure ot seeing. Except in small
sections, and bnt few of them, ram has been
abundant since the comiiigtn of Jane, which,
with July, ie the season for rain in this cli
mate I have seen no cotton blossoms ex
cept on one form—that of Mr. Cramp’s,
where there area great many of them, bat
the forms are very abundant and are not
falling off any at all. I find tbe fruit orep
more promising here than in Southwestern
Georgia, though by no means flattering evon
here, and ripo watermelons are becoming
quits common.
The people of Florida ara much elated at
the success of the Hon. Noble A. Hall in his
trial.
