The last raid of the Hu» asoar stirred np the Chilian admiral and he returned to Iqniqne, bombarding it for halt aa boar or so, on tbe evening of July 16. Les3 than fifty projectiles were thrown into the city, bnt the centres of popula tion—even tbe faartera of the Peruvians forces were untonohed. Admiral Rjbol- lebo’s statement was therefore borne ont, that he wonld not sacrifice the property and lives of non-oembatants. Had [the bombardment,brief as it wav,been.directed against the inhabited part of the bity, tho slaughter would have been fearful.

They visited Tooopilla, Antofagasta, Caldeia, Cbaneral and various other inte rior ports, and destroyed all the launches in e,ch. They ore said to have encoun tered no resistance whatever, besides tbe Chilian transport Rimac, and a battalion of 400 troops. Thrao Boding vessels 1 den with coal and copper, were also made prizes and sent to Callao. The loss to Coiii will be over a million of dollars, in addition to which the maoral eff ot in Chili will be immense. Saratoga, N.

Savannah, August 14.—Tao Beard of Commissioners have submitted a report to tbe City Council wh<oh was unanimously adopted, emphatically relating such rep resentations imputed to Dr. A. N. Beil, Sanitary Iospeotor of the National Board of Health of tbis district, published in New York papers on the 29th nit. The Board pronounce them withont foundation and misrepresentation lot their views and the views of a large nnmber of the prac ticing pbyiioianB of this city. Too as sumption of Dr. Ball is that the people do not realize their danger and do not be lieve that they can have the yellow fever unless it is bronght to them from some where else and that the duossa never reaohes seaport towns except by ship. The implication Riven by thie assertion, that the city council and board have con fined their efforts to any theories, is on nnjnst reflection, since the exercise of a rigid system of quarantine has been com bined with vigorous lcoal sanitation. The statement in reference to the filthy condition of Biebo Canal is al*o pro nounced withont foundation and the board challenges Dr. Bell or anyone else to prove the origin of a single case of veliow fever occurring on hoard ot any ship which has left this port which was due to the impurity of the rtver water taken from a point adjacent thereto. The board condemns tbo publication of article?, such as the one under considera tion, whioh can only affect tbe public mind injuriously without accomplishing the least sanitary benefit, and request that the National Beard of Health adopt such measures as will hereafter prevent the publication by their official represen tatives of hastily formed opinion, wbion are prejudicial to the public welfare and which have not been substituted by suf ficient evidence.

St. Louis, Augnit 14 — It appears that party of colored men who passed througa East St. Louis last night, was gotten np by the merchants and planters in the Mississippi Valley, with the view of giving such negroes as wish tbs oppor tunity to go West to judge of the country for themselves, and if they tike it, to re main—the expense of the trip being nom inal. Many planters apprehend, after the second cotton crop is picked, that there will be an extensivo exodus of the negroes from the South. Some of them, therefore, got up this excursion, believing that either the representative colored man, who might gc, would bo disap pointed ai’.h Kansas and return, or that their unfavorable accounts would have a strong influence with the negroes gener ally, and prevent any extensive migrato ry movement. Qaite a large nnmber of whites, who took advantsgs of the cheap rale, also joined the party and ha.va gone to Kaneas Memphis, August 13.—Forty cases in all were reported to ttie Bos;d of Health to day, thirty of whom were colored.

Ats name is called “extension,” As you do all woll know, For there has been no mention Of that other name, 1 trow. Th> "scheme,” of course, is hidden. The object, though, is clear; It is to have a “State line” From sea to mountain air. Ah I yes, the plan’s* grand one— Juat listen hoar it sounds: “A trunk line through from Dalton To Brunswick’s ocean bounds.” Whit though tha Constitution In solemn words declare The State shall have no portion In railroad projects fair, Is it to be expected That statesmen such as ours Would hang their heads d ejected.

Wanderings in Jones. rditors Telegraph and Messenger: Your correspondent ha* just returned from an extensive jaunt among the old red bills of Jonoa. Io my travels, after the “timo o’ day” had been exchanged, “How ere crops in yonr parts?” was always tbe first question asked, and “How did yon find tne orops?'* was the first sonnd that greeted my ear after my return. The orops seem to he an all absorbing theme just now. Corn upon nplandis.aa a general thing, * failure; tbit ia the bottoms, however, 1b good. We psesed some fine fields of cotton, bat owing to the late spring frosts, and tbe parching drouth that followed, it is very backward. It ’anything liko an average yield is made “j >ok frost” will have to postpone h a advert maoh beyond his usual time of coming. Turnips are boing liberally sown, and this fall an increased aoreage will be eeeded in oats to supplement a short corn on. In my wanderings through Jones, 1 passed the historic spot where the battle of “ Sunshine Churoh” wsb fought and General Stoneman and bis raiders cap tured. This ooQnrred daring the summer of 1864. Stonemar, it will he remem bered, oims to tho very gates of Haoon and shelled tha oity. Finding a conside rable force to oppose him at that point and the bridge over the Oomnlgee being gone he was prevented from crossing and asking for Andersonville as was hia in tention. He then retreated and at the place named above, met a detachment Of Confederate oavalry, to whlefa, after a short but spirited fight, he surrendered. Colonel Burt Hutchins, at whoBS houee I tarried for a while and wbb most hospit ably entertained, gave the writer a very interesting account of the engagement, of which he was an eye witness. He calls it “hia battle.” Tho fight, as many remembsr, was on Sunday. About 9 o’clook ia the morning a detachment of Confederate scoute, some twelve or fifteen in number, dashed up to Colonel Hutchins’ gate, and told him that they were cut off from their com mand, and asked him to direct them so that they could rejoin it. Jnst then they heard the firing, which had commenced in dead earnest, and waa not many miles distant. The Colonel mount ed bis horse and told the Bconta to follow him, that he would lead them to their army. The first thing the party knew they were right npon the rear of Stone- man’s forces. The commander cf the squid ordered hia men to charge through the enemies’ lines, and fire as rapidly aa possible. This they did. Stoneman, thinking that a foroe from Macon had pursued and overtaken him, surrendered without farther -resistance to a foroe greatly inferior in numbers to hia. Tho result of the battle waa that Stoneman and kia forces soon fonnd their way to Andersonville, not as conquerors, bnt prisoners. Old Sunshine Church has been moved away, and nothing but the cannon-scarred trees in the grove where the ehnrch was located, now remains. Sunshine Chnrch was situated a few miles from Clinton, on the public road to Hillsboro and Montl- eello. Wilkes. August I4tb, 1879.

Some splenetic writer in the Atlanta Dispatch who arrogates to himself tbe founding and multitudinous cognomen of “Many Citizens,” commences an article of near two columns lecg.h mainly de voted to a futile attempt to show inoon- eiatenoea in the past action of this paper, upon the extension of the Maoou & Brun swick Railroad, as follows: Why this Change cr Front"l—Editors Dispatch: Tbe exiraordinary articlejon the Maoon and Branswiok extension aud tbe double-distilled foolishness in whioh lbs Tsleobafh and Messenger embodied its views in Sunday’s issue, h&veoaused wide spread astonishment on the one hand and indignation at its bold deflicos of public opinioo, its attempt ti destroy the grow ing prosperity of oar oity, to adyanoe the interest and enlarge the inoome of a pri vate corporation at tbe oxpenae and to tha injury of onr whole people on the other. To show that Boma powerful i motive mast be at the bottom of this sudden op- position to tbe extension, extracts from a few of the old oopics of the Telegraph and Messenger, defining its position on the same snbjeot, in 1874, are reproduced. Now, the bare assertion of this anony mous writer that an honeat effort to pro cure the extension of the road now owned by the State, not to Atlanta direct, but on a line to Knoxville, w&3 an nttsmpt to “dealroy the growing prosperity of onr oity,” ia.not only absurd, bnt positively amusing. Tne entire past history cf tho move ment proves most conclusively,that it waa to develop some of onr best counties on tl.„ 1'iujt'UBeu HUB vi —H nrcouri another outlet to the Northwest, that nu enterprise commended itself so nnanl monsly to the Maoon pnblio. That Mr. Wadley did not regard it aa a rival to the Central, is best shown by the fact that the surveys were made at the expense ot that road, and conducted by its ablest engineer, Mr. Virgil Powers. But before proceeding any farther, we beg leave to asBure the inimical and irate correspondent of the Dispatch, that its gratuitous and unworthy insinuations re specting the motives of the Txlegrafh in opposing another direct road to Atlanta, and continuing its support of the Knox ville extension, are utterly false, and the merest balderdash. Will this person ilease ask Mr. Wadley whether he has lad one minute’s conversation with any editor of the Telegraph upon any sub ject whatever within the last three years? Will he ask him if any letters have pass ed between them? Will he ascertain whether any agent or editor ot this pa per ia provided with a free pass over the Central Railroad or any of its branch et? Moreover, will he continue to prosecute his inquiries and ask the President of the Central if he did not in his very last conversation with one of onr editors, oomplain bitterly, and we thought un justly,ot the opposition of tho Telegraph to him and the interests he represented? We know of no better defense to set np against the coarss and unfounded suspi cions of this “correspondent,” and scorn to plead to his wicked insinuations. Moreover, we defy that individual or any one else to show one lino or syllable em anating from-the Telegraph or its edi torial correspondence whioh advocated a direct extension of the M. & B. R. B., through to Atlanta. The nearest that he could come to it was in the two fol lowing fragmentary extracts from onr Atlanta correspondence, whioh merely gave the then status of tbe matter before the Legislature, and intimated that At lanta was among the places spoken of as a terminus. There waa no expression of opinion, on our part in favor of such a connection, but, per contra, every article and para* graph ever printed on the editorial side of this paper bearing directly upon the subject, charged pointedly in favor, as .we do now, of an extension, with Knoxville as its objective point. These are the paragraphs allnded to, extracted from two letters: After the arrival of the Macon com. mittee at Atlanta H. H. J. writes to his paper under date of February 3d, exten sively on the proposed extension, and taye: “Nor is it demanded as a condi tion precedent that the 700 penitentiary AAnwiAtn nil —1) Kft /Irt rV ** convicts shall be detailed to do the work,' eto. * * Thus, ia any event, the owners of the M. and B. railroad stand ready to bnild the propoeed extension to Covington, or even to Atlanta, if the State will guarantee tho bonds already issued npon, the completion °f the work. There is another view of this snbjeot possessing peculiar force, which we have not yet presented. In the passage of the act authorizing the lease of the Macon and Western railroad to the Central, the principal feeder of the Macon end Bruns wick read was effectually cut off and iis resources dried up. From that time it ceaaed to be more than a mere local channel of commerce,” eto. In a letter on the 4‘.h of Febraary, from Atlanta, the same editorial corres pondent of the extension bill, Bays: “No essential change has been made in its original provisions further than to de clare that the points of connection with the Georgia may be at Covington, Atlan ta, or any other place which shall be subsequently determined upon, eto.” The beBt answer to the charge that the above was intended to recommend Atlanta aa the terminal point, is contain ed in the concluding portion of subse quent more elaborate extracts from our “Editorial Correspondence,” published by “Many Citizens” himself. They read as follows t On tho 6th of February H. H. J. writes from Atlanta: “The bill for the Covington extension of the M. & B. Rail road has been at length amended and perfected,” eto. * '* “It aeema to meet with very general favor, and we trnst will pass both houses by a large majority.” An editorial on the 8th again refers to the bill and says:. “The edvantagea of the extension in opening up a new route to the North and West probably at an early day, including healthy competition between existing lines, developing the rioh counties through which it will pass, and saving the State from heavy loss which seems imminent from the collapse of the old portion of the road to Bruns wick, can hardly be overestimated. But we need not repeat the argument, or dwell longer on a question npon which this whole region ia almost a unit. We trust our members in the Legislature will spare no effort to uphold the move ment and secure the passage of the bill by an overwhelming majority. An editorial in the same paper, Febiu. ary 10th, announces: “Thr Hour nor Action Arrived—The bill for the exten sion of tbe Maoon and Brunswick Rail, road, is set for U a. x. to-day. It ia the very general desire of our citizens that Speaker Bacon should vacate hia chair temporarily and lend tbe powerful aid of his- eloquence to the measuro. Colonel Simmons, too, it ia hoped, will be heard from in emphatio tones, and every other representative of Bibb, also. The ques tion at issue ia of vital importance to our oity, and commands the almost undi vided support of the people of this con gressional district, and Southwestern Georgia likewise. Indeed, it may be said to be MsoonV opportunity. For long years has she struggled for the consummation now sought, even voting a large snm, upon certain conditions, for its advancement. No lees than two charters have been granted for nearly the same purpose, and nothing save the prostrate oonditien of the country financially, and the bicker ings of interested parties, have prevented tbe completion of .the Knoxville enter prise, at leeat to where it should connect with the Georgia road. Moreover, it will impart new life and vigor to that highway to the ee*. whioh now languishes be cause of the partial legislation whleh prmotieally out it off from any outlet north of thia oity, and confined its operations to looai badness only. Again, the exten sion, as has been previously stated, will prove a great blessing to a rioh and un developed seotlon of the State ; and last, but not least, be the flret step towards the completion of another channel of oom muni cation with the groat West and North.” Tho oorrespodent of the Dispatch then quotes the “exultation” ot the Tele graph upon the passage ot the bill these words: “It will exert a salutary in finance upon every department of busi nerein the state,” etc., etc. And true, we did rejoice, not that it had been decided that the road ahould be built to Atlanta, bnt from the fact that, on the contrary, provision was mads to extend it as far aa Gainesville in the opposite direction, and on the direct road to Knoxville. The bill as passed (we have the official docu ment before ns) reads than Sec. 1. The General Assembly of the State of Georgia do enact, That the ohar ter of the Macon and Brunswick railroad be so amended as to authorize tbe exten sion of said railroad northward from the city of Maoon to the- Georgia railroad, at some point to be selected by the present board of directors of the Macon and Brnnswick railroad company, and It raid company shall at a future time determine to extend said road north of said point on tbe Georgia railroad, the same shall be extended to the oity of Gainesville. Now, if we had beien advocates of as Atlanta extension, how still-born would have fallen this note of exultation. But having quoted what onr adversary has vainly sought to marshal against the editors so unmistakably hinted at as the mercenary employes of Mr. Wadley. we ask the reader to lieten to the fol lowing extrect from an editorial written on the reception of the tidings that the bill had passed the House by & vote of 116 to 37 nayB. It is dated Feb’yll, 1874: “The overwhelming majority whioh show^tfiafl&r {feio£ a 2?M. a _? f . thia , b »J presented to our legislators which is eio just and fair aud universally beneficial in all its details, that the people are al most r unit in its favor. The email ad verse vote which was cast may be ac counted for by the conflicting interests of another railroad organization. But it should bs remembered tbat tbis enter prise is aot the outgrowth of any ring or clique, nor is it the result ot hostility to the Central Railroad, or any other Inter est in Georgia. The proposed extension culminating in another grand artery of trade with the North and West, will ex- ert a salutary influence npon every de partment of business in the State. Mo nopolies in transportation will ba impos. sible, freights must acme down to reason able figures, our people will oontinue to havo the Macon aud Brunswick Railroad as an outlet to tide water, and better still, tho State will bo relieved from the heavy loss consequent upon the sale of that thoroughfare at a period so inauspicious as tho present.” The above views are identical with those entertained by the Telegraph and Mss seng sr cf to-day. We favor an extension to Covington or any other plane on the Georgia Road, whish would be the first step in the direotion of Knoxville. That city Is the objective print of our oboioe. Of oourse another connection would be established with Atlanta, when the Georgia road is reaohedor crossed and tbat might be a convenience to both cit ies. No one could, if they would, objeot to that. Let the road be leased or sold if possible, bnt not oonpled with tha absurd condition that a direot oonseotion shall ba made with Atlanta at the charges of the lessee or parohaser. N. Y. Worli) ’ The sort of muddle which it pleases eome people to oall a ‘ mystery” envelops most or the accounts thus far published of a collision which yesterday occurred between Senator Conkling ot Hew Yerk, who ahjurdly mas queraded in the first reports as a “German teacher,” and ex«Senator and ex-Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, who appears as having been unduly excited about a railway matter. What is qaito clear is that there was such a oolite ion, and that the ex-Senatrr from Rhode Island walked into hie own home and fiading there an unwelcome guest in the person of the aotual Senator In m N»w York, applied to him a series of opprobrious epi thets and threatened to kill him. We ore not informed whether tho proprieties of private dwelling restrained the Senator from Sow York, as hs not long ago announoed that the proprietors of the Senate alone re strained him, “branding” his interlocutor as “a coward and a liar.” It may be no public importance to know any more either as to what waa arid or what was done than we know already. It cannot fail to be nsefnl, however, to reflect what wonld have been eaid by oar Republican contemporaries had thia incident of watering-place life occurred at Biloxi or at the White Bulpbnr Springs in stead of at Nairagansett Pier, and had the parties to it bsen a Senator from Miesissippi and an tx-Governor of Louisiana, let os Bay, instead of a Senator from New York and on ex-Governor of Rhode Island. It the Louis ianian had ordered the Mississippian out of his house and threatened to kiU him if he found him there again, how many of our esteemed contemporaries won'd have soen ia this action only the inevitable out- ipping of the “plantation manners” en« idered by slavery, and heard in the indig nant accents of tbe excited ex-Governor the old rebel yell?” We should certainly have heard that such a eoondsl could not possibly have come to a head between any two publio men of the North. Now that it has coma to ahead between two such public men it may be well to consider whether it is not qaite time for us to drop the practice ot keeping one sit of moral weights and social measures for application to the “chivalry” of the South and another set for application io the “statesmen” of the North. If encha scene as tbat whioh our dispatches relate hod occurred in the houee of a Southern ex- Btateemen it would have been at once de scribed aa an indecent and boibtroui per- formados. It is aot less indecent or lees barbarous, is it, besause it oocaired in tho house of a Northern ex-statesman, unless, indeed, we are to admit that the standard of decency and civilization at the Soath I* high er than it is at North and that Southerns sin against clearer light ? Historical Sketch ot Howard District and the Ocmulgee Farmers’ Clnb. Read by 3. W. Lundy, Bsq- before the Club August 1st, 1879.1 (o INCLUDED ) THE OCATULGEX FARMERS’ CLUB. Ia the year 1863, three years after the termination of au unsuccessful aud de structive oivil war, which hadrevolutioa- ized the labor system of the. South, and at a time when the farming interestjof the country presented a gloitny aspect, a Southern Agricultural Convention was held in the city of Macon. The great, the momentous question cf tho day was: What sboutd be done to bring renewed prosperity to tbe tillers of the sril, and through them, to all the industries of the country. Whatever was beat to be done would be soonest ac complished by organised effort. Soon the Georgia State Agricultural Society waa orgauizsd, having reoeived a char ter from the Legislature. Immediately thereafter, county socie ties, branches of the State society, be gun to ba formid, and now almost every county in Georgia has one or more agri cultural organizations. On the 31 day of Jnly, 1869, a prelimi nary meeting for the purpose of organiz ing an agricultural society for Howard’s district, was held at Windsor Chapel. A committee was appointed to draft a con stitution and by laws for the government of the society. About the first of the following August there was another meet ing held at the Cocniy Line Aeademy, at whioh the organization was completed, and the “Oomnlgee Farmers* Club” again had an existanoe. Robert Bowman, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the community, was elected President and Jamee D. Holt Secretary. The club enjoyed only for a brief period the benefits of the infiuenci and counsel of ita first president. He died suddenly a few months after its organi sation. He was one of Nature’s truest noblemen. Dignified and manly in hie bearing, f. ank and sincere in hia inter course with his fellow men, he was reooguiZ3d wherever known- os of the rarest woith aud most exalted character. Sound is judgment and cautious in hie conclusions, he seldom made mistakes in opinions, and wai a sate friend and pru dent ooonsellor. Unobtrusive and modest, he preferred the quiet circle of his family ani ce ghborhood to any position of honor and trnst to whioh his talents entitled him and the confidence of his friends might have called him. A man of few words end sorapaloni iff regard for trnth, he never uttered a care less or trivial sentiment. Ardent in hie attachments, he made no professions that his heart did not feel, but preferred to ■how hia esteem for hie friends by solid deeds, rather than empty words. It re quired an intimate knowled of hia char acter to rightly appreciate the man, and those who knew him beat loved him moat. “Like Enoob, ho walked with God, and waa not, for God took him.” “His spirit with a bound Left ita eacumb’ring clay; His tent at midnight on the ground A darkened ruin lay.” Subsequent to bis death, nod owing partly to the discouragement and depres sion of the times there was an interval of about two years in which all interest in the o’.ab seemed to have been dormant. Afier that period an ambulatory sys tem was adopted, and the club had sev ers! well attended meetings at the bouses of its members, which brought new Ufa into it. The club, now no longer content to re main a peripatetic seot, resolved .at its April meeting, 1872, to prooare a lot and build a house of its own. A number of building lots were offered by tbo members, who seemed to vie with eaoh other for the privilege of furnishing the site. Those offered by James D. Holt and William Johnson, two lota that adjoined, were selected. The neoessary building fuad waa readily raised within the or ganization and tire work of erecting tha house done almost entirely by members of the Clnb. Work on the Club room was commeno. ed on Saturday, August 33,1872. uu Qa.the 21st of September following, the session*waS’fhtil&’kftsiahed, formal pos- barbecus given in honor of the event. At the fonrth annual election, the present efficient officers of the Club were called into service, and under the able administration of President Lockett and Secretary Johnson the Club has continued to prosper. JAMES D. HCLT. Oar first Secretary, James Dean Holt,' baa passed away, and he, too, now sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. Many of as knew him in tbe golden long ago, were with him in sohool-boy play?, enjoyed together the sportive tricks ot childhood and of youth. ’Tia not strange then that old recollections should well np fresh (’as tbe morning dews—pleasant memories never to be forgotten—redolent of the sweet perfume of life’s spring flow* its, should awaken in us lively emotions. He, though very young, was in the oav- slry>ervloa during the last year of the war and was ready to appreciate the privilege of laying aside the implements of war for those of peace. With talents that might have won diatinotiou in almost any profession or department of soienos, be preferred the quiet and seclusion of country life—the otium cum dignitafe—ot a rural home, and centered with energy upon the taek of cultivating and improving the V old plantation.” He was a useful member aud faithful officer of this club, punctual in attend ance npon its meeting?, he always took a lively interest in ita pro?parity and de liberation?. During our celebrations and gala days he never failed to throw wide open the doors of his elegant mansion near by, for the acoommodatiou of the members and guests of this club. When our club-room.—perhaps tha first building ever erocted in the State devoted solely to agriculture—was baing built, our secretary, the grand-son of Major Tarpley Holt, who fifty years bo- fore bmlt the first log cabin iu the neigh borhood, a few rods’ distance, cheerfully rendered diligent and efficient service un til tha work was finished, and Oomnlgee Club hod a local habitation as well as a name.
