Turpentine Distillkby Bossed — Eistman Times: On Tnesd-y morning last, 24io ins*., about A o’clock, the large turpentine distillery, situated on the Maoon aodBrauswiok Railroad, about fire miles below Eastman, belonging lo Messrs. Carr & B.lingrath, of onr place, was discovered to bo on fire. This dis covery was first made by Mr. Martin, the ctiUor, on the inside, ard about the same time by Mr. MoMill&n, on the outside. The warm spirits la the tubs, the rosiD, the c.ude turpentine, etc., all contribut ed to the rapid spread of tho angry flames. Thera were 151 barrels of fine ream, 4 of spirits and 250 of virgin dip con sumed. The store, situated about forty or fifty years away, was greatly endan gered, not only from the heat of the burning building, but alio by the hom ing melted rosin as it coursed its path in the direction of the store. This danger, however, was abated by ditching and changing the oourse of this burning fluid. The store was saved. Tho ljsa was about $5,000, with no in surance on the property. The Eastman Times seem3 to think the proposed change of Lrurens county from the Oconee lo the Middle Circuit unnec essary. The same paper says: Msjir C. R.

Tco High.—Eistman Times: B»ef retails - m our market at five cents per pound for fore and seven cents per pound for hind quarters. We think the price is too high, for the prioea realized for beef cattle, which we learn is only about ten dollars per head. The cattle when butchered will avenge from 250 to 300 pounds per head, thereby netting the batcher at least five or six dollar? per head, at these figure?, brides the hide, tallow, etc., whmh fir toward com pensating him for hia trouble. We think that some of our stock raisers might make some very satisfactory arrange ments with the citizens of our town to dispose of their beef at belter prices than they can realize tor them on their feet, and at the same time furnish our market at prices that cur citizens can afford to pay for it. The Yaldoela Times eays that a new Tangled worm has appeared on the farms in Lowndes county and is doing great damage to the crops. It appears that when the com is about tasseline cut this little green worm with a black head, bores iuto the stalk st the ground and cats out the petb and the first slight wind breaks the corn down. Some of the farmers have pl/eady suffered serious loss, and if the pest continues there is no telling the amount of dam- ago that will be done. The New Ieoh Bridge.—Hawkinsville Dispatch: The contract for building an iron bridge over the Ocmulgee at Jtlaw- kinsville will be let to the lowest bidder on Thursday next, July 31.

That Mtstebt.— Savannah News: In yesterday's News appeared a paragraph stating that two young boys while play iog in a field in the vicinity of Fort Boggp, on Sunday afternoon, had come upon the mutilated remains of a negro, the sight of which freigbtened them and they fled tbe scene. Such at leaBt was the report they made to their parents. Yesterday morning Coroner Sheftsll in vestigated the matter, and found there was bat little foundation for the alarming story. It appears that the boys saw an old log upon which bad been thrown some old clothes, giving it the semblance of a form, that to their fervid imagina. tion looked like a mangled body.

Homicide —Meriwether Vindicator List Tuesday Mr. James Barton shot and instantly killed his brother-in-law, Samuel .Ricks. The killing occurred at Warnerville, near which place both par ties reside. Only floating rumors of the cause of the killing hare been received From these it appears that Mr. Barton was abont leaving Warnerville, having a shot gun which be borrowed to induce a dog to follow him, when ho met Mr. Ricks who asked if he, Barton, had eaid certain things. Barton responding in the affirmative, Ricks announced his in tention of killiing Barton and made a demonstration as if to draw a pistol, when Barton emptied the contents of his gan in tbe body of Ricks, tho latter in stantly expiring. Mr. Barton made no attempt to escape. The affair is deeply regretted by onr citizens as both parties were well known in Greenville.

A Kingdom of his Own.—Baena Vista Argus: Mr. James Dake, in the north eastern part of this connty, claims kiogdom of his own. In the formation of Taylor county the entire militia dis trict—except one lot of land in the ex treme corner of the district—was taken from Marion and pat in Taylor connty. On that lot of land Mr. Dake has since settled, and lives in Marion, though the rest of his militia district is in Taylor. Us has some amusing legal Instles eomo- timee. Not being a resident of Taylor county he will plead want of jurisdiction in tne justice court of his militia district because be is not a resident of that county. • For tho same reason he will not work roods in the 12 th district. We hear he sometimes says tbs Legislature made him a rebel to his district. When it suits his pleasure he puts the officials of Marion connty to some perplexity. Being sev ered from the 12th disttiot by the oounty 1 ns, he refnseB to work the cnblio road when it does not suit his convenience, for (be reason that he can’t be made to cross bis d’etriotlinrs. _ He will plead jurisdio tion in justice court in Maxlon county be cause his diatriofe is in another oounty. He sometimes shows hia independence of Superior Conrt jarisdiction by refusing to reader jary seivioe. He says he is not responsible for any of tbe annoyance he oaases, if he is a rebel tbe Legislature made him so. He says he wants to have emigrants move in his kingdom,and hopes exemption from courts, lawyers and elec tion?, except when occasion suits their pleasure, ought to be considerable induce ment?. .

Negro Superstition. — "Washington Gazette: Oat in Freedmensvilla lives an old negro man mined Adam Combs, who is in a very destitute condition. For Rome time be had been living in a sort of a tent made of an old blanket, having no home. All the while he prayed that it would not rain until the people gave him a bouse to live in. Believing that his praye- has having tho desired effect, the Degrots went to work and built him a house, finishing it on Saturday.

Found Dead.—Bainbridge Democrat: A few d*ye ago tbe bedy of a dead negro man was discovered nnder a tree near tne railroad this side of Climax Station. Tbe train stopped and the tree was seen to have been s’ruck by lightning, which rnn down its body to the height of the negro, when it appears to have left the tree, esoaping into the earth thiongh him. Ot coarse death was instantaneous. Tbe Coroner went out, and found the faots to be as stated. Arrangements have been made for a shot gun contest between Augusta and Charleston.

The Rome Encampment.—Tho gath ering of Southern military at Rome, Ga., next week will bo the greatest military encampment in the South einoe the war. We understand tbat ten companies have made preparation to go into CAmp there, and will be on hand. There will be a grand celebration on July 4th. Toe ad dress will be delivered by United States Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama. Many distinguished cx-Confederate offi cers have been invited to viait the en campment, and a number of them will undoubtedly bepreasnt. The hospitable citizens of Rome have exerted themselves in preparation for tbe reception of the visiting companies, and besides going there tbe freedom of tho city will enter tain them in royal stylo. We understand the city of Rome proposes providing tents and camp equippage for those com panies who are without them. Countess of Temaugo.—Bainbridge Democrat: Many, many years ago, be fore Columbn3, tho great navigator and discoverer was Dorn, ana even probably prior to tho time when ancient Babylon claimed to be the metropolis of the world, there lived in this country a race of Indi aos of very superior intelligence. Indeed the relio3 that are ever and anon exhum ed show them to have had a fine concep tion of architecture. We believe, how ever, that tbe race preceding that of which wo have spoken are known in the books os ’‘mound builders.” Upon the purchase of land three miles from this city lately made by the Countess of Te- margo there is one of these mounds, evi dently tbe work of tbat prehistoric race to which we have alluded. Near this monnd is a beautiful sheet ot water, called on account of Us ethereal clearness, the "Blue Lake.” It Is small but Y6ry deep, and bring surrounded by thick foliage studded with the rarest of Flora’s wild gems, some have supposed it to ibe Fence de Leon’s variable ‘‘fountain of youth.” The legend goes that in the days when the Indians held full sway in this their native land, their women used to renew their complexions by bathing iu the lim pid waters of this self-same Bine Lake, In fact it need to be the great winter re sort of these noble savages. It farther comes to ub from the distant shores of the eternal past, that a terrible battle onoe took place here between the Indians of the South and North; and that this now placid body of water was literally crimsoned with the blood of the slain. Probably if the monnd was exoavated it would be found fall of their petrified bones, relics of this terrible struggle. The traot of land bought by the Conni es?, numbers, we believe, one thousand acres, which we learn Bhe will improve with all the modern adornments. Being immensely rich, she will no donbt tarn tbis romantic plaoe into a kind of Para dise, to which she will flee ia the winter and dwell among tbe pleasure?, the leg ends and romanoes of its eternal Spring. We here not seen tho plan of the winter palace which this noble lady proposes to rear, bnt we feel snre that it will be a magnifioent monument of architectural grandeur, with appointments of royal Italian splendor. The Countess of Temargo belongs to one of the noblest families of Italy, but is herself of American decent. Her hus band, one of the bravest and most gal lant knights that ever drew tho sword in defence of his country, died some time ago, and his widow, being determined to spend her remaining days in this free land of ours, proposes to mako the vicin lty of - Bainbridge her winter resort, hence her purchase of the property al luded to. This lady spends her summers in the North, whero she also owns a vast estate. We shall be glad to welcome her to onr lively little city, and can as sure her tbat she is one of tbe mo3t for tunate of mortals in making the pnr- chase she has. Tbe sale of this land was made to the Counters throngh John E. Donalscn, Esq, agent for A. C. Schaefer. An Income Wliboos Care.

HAYES Is to have another chance. The Demo- era's are treating i im with most distinguish ed consideration, and some of them very naturally object thereto. Aa he is go dene; J fastidious in regard to matters of money, many think his caso ought to be treated he roically There was much strong talk to that effect in the caucus yesterday and Hayes' ears, if at all sensitive, would have burned could he have heard somo of the opi-iow expreseed of him and. his conduct. But it was finally decided, as you read this morning, to giv<> him another chance—posi tively ilio last, yo.i miy depou * upon it— and see whether or not he has sold out com pletely to the r.a warts.

EX GOOD FklEED, Randall, of the Augusta Chronicle A Corn stimtiona ist, is still hore, I am glad to say, and is writing a senes of exceptionally clev er letters to that paper. I had tho plea sure of reading tho one in which reference was made to the liamar-Oonkling matter and waa most forcibly impressed cot only bv the correctness of its statements as to what aotualiy occurred, but the dramatic, yet realistic tone and style oi tLonairative. It was, iu truth tuo best word painting of the scene, 1 have found, though I havo seen pre ty nearly all of them. I hear this morn ing that Mr. Randall will accompany Mr HUi tj Louisiana next fall as clerk to the sub-committee of the Benato committee on privileges and elections, to investigate Kel logg's title to his scat and of which sub committee M*.

Mr.' Randall has deserved infinitely well of the Democratic] party, if length and effective ness of service in its lacks counts for aught ad I hops ibis will servo as a starting point and stepping-sioub io eomethieg more per manent Hut, bow can he bear to lacerate his heart-stringa and make bis lire desolate by lea ing this Par&dito even for that on the banks of ths Mississippi ?

TOE NEW YOBk TURKEY COCK, Whose comb was so neatly cat in the Sen ate last week, ie not putting on neatly so many frills as before that occarreuce. It has had a most salutary effect on him and the promise and prospect is that he will boreal tor, ondacthunsolf with some degree of decency. Heretoforo the newspaper men here have been biugularly forbearing with lnm, and bave kept from the pnblio most of his gross offenses against mmy things that gentlemen are not gniliy or, but X under stand that hereafter they will not deal so tenderly with him There is perhaps no man in public life who ia more vulnerable in sev eral respects and in cno of which, at least he seems actually to court oaneure. I rath er think some ot tbat insolence will bo taken out. f aim before next winter and tbat be wil’ not strut ard swagger end make him self so disgustingly snobbish and hateful as heretofore. There haa not lived in my mem ory of publio nvjn heia one who so habitu ally and grossly violated tbe courtesies of life and the roles that govern their tercoorse of gentlcmon, and when to that is added a vindictive and unrelenting p&itisanehip and hate of tho South tbat is hsrdly outdone by any of bis political associates, the general satisfaction that is expresses at his disgrace can be roadily understood. Think of a man who refused to ho present at themarriage of his only daughter becauso he did not think her husband was folly her social equal—and that man, himiolf, mark yon, of the very hambloat origin. That is the key note of Gjnkhng’s character. He is simply a snob. the obant “boox,'’ As tho newspapers call it, dcos not seem to be qnite so load. Just now John Sher man's coupons, as the internal revenue of> ficiala at tho South aro now called, have ro- aeivod their orders and you wU lisar very little boreafter ot their helping the boom That is where Grant's strength lies and when that is cut from under his feet, as it will be, he will bo largely in the vocative. Sherman is just as surely and actively t candidate for tbs nomination as Blaine and he will havo all tho push and prestige the administration can give him. Ir he can capture the negroes, or rather thou: masters,, the Federal office holders at the Sonth— and I will gunble on tbat—and got even half the money giants ha will sweep Grant ont of eight. The fight looks dead sore, now, to bo between the two. Was there ever, so far as our people aio concerned, moie striking illustration of the choice bo tween the devil and a witch ? By the way, speaking of Grant, somebody told me the other day that Grogg Wright hod recently been making enquiry of me throngh the Augusta Chronicle whit Geor gia district* I meint wonld bs sought to be carried for Grant in the next Presidential election. I never said any Georgia districts, I think I wroto Southern districts. Bnt if ha is still pining for that information and will arrange a lager seance-w.th trim- mines—in his room at the KansaH some night next month when he is wasting his young life in the service of ibis State and will send for me, perhsps I can give him more specific information.

The negroes were told that each one of theeB flags stack up any where in Kansas was good for sixty acres of land, and they were all ready to go.” “now did they expect to get there?’’ * On what they considered transporta tion certificates. A lot of bogns trans portation orders were distributed along with flags, on which they confidently ex peettd to be taken to the land of prom ise.” “Had any of the adventurers return ed?” “Yes, a few of them had got back and gone to work again.

Senatou Hill, of Georgia, in his great speech m n-ply to Blaine, copied the following paragraph from Mr. Web ster’s speech in reply to Hayne, and then made the remarks that follow: "Tbe people, sir, in every State live nnder two governments. They owe obe dience to both. These governments, though distinct, are not adverse. Eaoh has its separate sphere and its peculiar powers and dnties. It is not a contest between two sovereigns for the same power, like the wars of the rival bonses In England, nor iait a dispute between a government dcfacto and a government de jure. It is the case of a division of pow ers between two governments made by the people, to whom both are responsi ble. Neither can dispense— “Mark this: " *Neither can dispense with the duty which individuals owe to the other-, neither can oall itself master of tbe otbet; tho people are masters of both.’ ” "Mr. President, I wish that one short sentence in tbat language of Mr. Web ster coaid be riveted in tbe mind ot every man in Amerioi. Wbat is it? It is that neither of these governments is the mars ter of the other. Tbe seoessionists made the mistake of Insisting tbat the State governments were master of the Federal Government The Republican oonsolg dationists make the mistake of insiatine that this General Government is th- masterof the States and the State govern ments. It is not trne. In the brief, terse, correct, constitutional language of that greatest cf constitutional lawyers this country ever produced, neither is the master of tbe other. Tbe people of this country live under two governments. They are not adverse; they are not ene mies; they are not strangers. They are co-iaborprs in one system in their respec tive spheres to accomplish the one grand purpose of tho preservation of tho rights and liberties of the people. Sir, Sena tors talk abont Mr. Webster differing with himself. He never differed with himself. No better State-rights doctrine from a correct standpoint was ever ut tered by Mr. Webster mhiB second speech on Foote’s resolution and in tbis very reply to Mr. Calhonn. What is it ? It is that the States are sovereign in their reserved rights, absolutely sovereign in the exercise of their reservid rights, and that this Government has no power over a State in the exercise of her reserved rights, and that on the other hand the same people who made the Constitution of the Federal Government and clothed it with specific powers, and within its specific powers the Fedeial Government is also enpreme, and of coarse within the delegated powers is alone supreme, just as tha States in their reserved rights are alone supreme.” The Way it Stands.—The San Fran cisco Chronicle haa interviewed Mr. Boris, General Giant’s brother-in-law, and the last arrival from the peripatetic court of the ex-President. The interviewer aeks Mr. Boric: "Then you have not talked with Gen eral Grant directly on the subject of his nomination, and do not know positively as to whether he will accept or decline?’* "I think ho will he forced to accept it Ha docB not desiro it for himself. He will have to .sacrifice his personal com fort to the people’s welfare. He is the only man powerfnl enough and popular enongh for the emergency.

Tho Air Line is making this end cf North Georgia attractive. The road ia steadily growing in popularity, and it deserves tbe support it receives, for tbe trains ara comfortable, their time is quick and fare very low. Sinoe this in stitution was begun, some 6 or 8 years ago, this section of the State, then a wilderness, has become valuable to the coffers of individuals and the State, There have been built on the road folly twenty new and thriving towns since the road was begun. Many families in South, Southeast and Southwest Georgia have summer homes on the line of tbe road. New Holland Springs is a part of an average Atlantaite’s summer. Gaines ville is gaining reputation annually for her pleasures and climate. Toccoa and Spartanburg also rank high. I am writing to-night in what is called “Cloud Land,” 1,610 feet abovo tho sea level. Thermometer about sixty-five degrees. Several guests have had fires in their rooms this morning. It is tho highest point on any railroad in the Sonth.

A weather report is taken here by Mr. F. J. Boond for the State Agricultural De partment daily at 7 a. m. and 2 and 9 r. m. Upon looking over hie books I notioe that from year to year the mean temper ature is about the same. In the months of May, 1878 and 1879, there was not even a difference of one degree. the mt. aiby hotel is perhaps the neatest and pleasantest hotel in this section. It is kept beyond complaint. From its observatory, nearly 1.700 feet above sea level, ono can wit ness s scene, nneqnakd by any in Amer ica, that is in extent and diversity. For over 20 miles the eye is feasted upon hills and valleys, pleasantly mingling green and bine hues. One can ace tbe lofty and azure Basstown mountain, 4,- 796 feet high. Tray, Black, Blood and Rabnn Mounts, all aearly 5,000 feet high. The beautiful Nachoooho valley, &c. Several counties in tbis State can be seen and over into North Carolina. There are several springs near the ho tel. On the hotel lot there is a large min eral spring, strong with iron, some sul phur acd other minerals. I have no analysis of the spring. Mr. M. C.
