—There is a great agitation in New
York over the excessive cost of pilotage,
the charges for piloting a steamer over San

a good captain for a year. The charges
are compuisory, and the New York Tri

Havana lines, although he never employs
pilots, preferring to trust his captains, has
to pay pilotage at the rate of $2,800 for
five days’ voyage, while the pay of a cap

man has earned this recognition at the
hands of the Ohio Republicans by twenty-
five years of conspicuous public sen-ice,
and that he moreover “ deserves the spe
cial recognition of the Nation for the great
service he has renderel in making the re

national finances on a better basis.” Mr.

Last Week’s Cotton Figtirtf. -
AX ESTIMATE OF THE IXCOsnXG CHOP
—EUROPEAN CONSUMPTION—AX IM
PORTANT ERROR DISCOVERED.
The New York Chronicle of Saturday
last reports the receipts of the seven days
ending the night before at 137,191 bales,
against 107,097 for the corresponding
week of last year. Total receipts of the
current cotton year to that date 8,751,301
bales, against 3,209,740 for the corres
ponding period of the year lS7S-9-rShow-
ing an increase of481,501 bales.
The Cotton Exchange statement of last
Friday was as follows: Receipts of the
week 134,591, against 170,590. Total to
date 3,701,793, against 3,220,158—showing
an increase of541,035 bales.
The Chronicle's interior port table
shows receipts for the week 04,008 bales,’
against 08,339 for the same week last
year. Sliipmenls 60,802, against 05,989
last year. Stocks 308,880, against 220,935
at same date lost year.
The Chronicle's visible supply table
showed last Friday night 2,473,782 bales
of cotton in sight, against 2,354,320 at same
date last year, 2,582,043 at same date in
1878, and 2,907,440 in 1877 at same date,
These figures show an increase of 119,402
bales on the visible supply of last year at
same date, and a decrease of 108,861 on
tiie visible supply of 1878, and of 433,004
bales on the visible of 1877 at same
dates. Cotton was quoted in .Liverpool
last Friday at 1-10 for middling upland.
At same date last year the quotation was
5|, in 1878, at same date, it was 0 3-10,
and in 1877, at same date, it was Of.
The Chronicles weather telegrams of
last Wednesday indicate a distressing con
dition of drought in Texas—-the ground at
most points being too hard for the plow
and small grain crops and stock suffering.
The winter drought now prevailing in
Texas is the worst ever known.
As far east as Selma either no rain or
very little fell during the week. Montgom
ery and Selma had light rains. In Ala
bama the highest range of the mercury
■was 70 and the average about 50. In
Madison, Florida, the highest was 84 and
the average 58. In Columbus and Macon
the highest was 71 and average 47 and 52,
In Augusta the highest was 72 and the
average 50. In Savannah the highest was
72 and the average 50.
The Chronicle's table of receipts from
plantations, shows that up to the 31st, the
total receipts compared as follows
1879-80, 4,105,880; 1878-79, 3,485,022
1877-78, 2,345,753.
The Chronicle, premising that it is in a
position to state quite closely the overland
receipts of January, and to bring down
the crop movement to first instant, puts
the figures at 4,713,000 bales against
3,858,740 last crop year. After the first of
February of last year there, were received
from plantations, 1,114,791 bales. Should
equal receipts come to hand this year,
they would make the crop of 1879-80
about 5,827,791 bales. Our presumption
is, however, that fair prices have brought
the cropforward withunusual rapidity,and
that receipts will hereafter drop off rapidly
The drop probably began with the last
cotton week and was, as we have seen
above, almost thirty thousand bales fo
the week.
From an article in the Chronicle upon
Thomas Ellison’s annual cotton circular,
recently published, we collate the follow
ing facts in relation to
. COTTON CONSUMPTION.
Mr. Ellison has discovered that, in con
sequence of an under-estimate of the av
erage weight of bales, the European con
sumption of cotton has been considerably
in excess of previous estimates. The
bales have been steadily increasing in
weight for which no allowance has been
nfade, so that even in the vexed year of
1879, when the mills were so disturbed by
strikes and short time and panics, more
cotton was consumed in Europe than ever
before. The actual rate of consumption
was 108,723 bales of 400 pounds each per
week, against 104,198 in 1878—105,795 in
1877 and 107,014 in 1876, which were the
heaviest years known in tho history of
cotton manufacture. The Chronicle,
therefore, proceeds to argue, with its
usuhl ‘caution, from these facts and from
the general trade situation, that the rate
of consumption in Europe this year cannot
be less than 110,000 bales of 400 pounds
each per week, which would necessitate a
European supply of5,720,000 bales.

A Veteran Railroader Speaks—He
Thinks the Cancelling of the Cen
tral Railroad Contract a Fortu
nate Circumstance.
One of the most sagacious and experi
enced railroad men in the State, i9 of the
opinion tiiat nothing could have been
more wise and timely tlian the abrogation
of the contract entered into between Mr.
Wadley and Messrs. Cole and Brown.
Had the original programme been car
ried out, all would have been well. Col
onel Cole is more than half a Georgian,
and his friendship for Governor Brown
and the absence of other antagonizing
connections would have assured to the
triple railroad alliance a most magnificent
future. But our friend is of the opinion
that had the “contract” been renewed
with Standiford and the Louisville and
Nashville road,the railway system of Geor
giawouldhave been sacrificed to that grasp
ing monopoly. Having several gulfoutlets,
and entire control of the coast from Pensa
cola to New Orleans, and moreover
having expended large sums to secure this
royalty, they would, as soon as the op
portunity was afforded, proceed to turn
back the cotton tidal wave seeking the
Atlantic from Macon,. Atlanta and every
other station on tlie Central, via Chatta
nooga to New Orleans, Mobile, Pensaco
la or wherever the steamship lines about
to be established might be ordered to
receive their fleecy cargoes. In short,tho
railroads of the State would be reduced to
the position of mere local highways, and
Savannah and our other seaports would
dwindle and decline under the baleful
management of this powerful monopoly.
We give these views just as received, and

son. TESTS OF FERTILIZERS
AND SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE OF
the state of Georgia foe 1879.
Dr. T. H. Henderson certainly deserves
the thanks of every agriculturist in Geor
gia for his very able and exhaustive sta ;
tistical reports of the crops for the past
year, and the many practical and admira
ble suggestions he has made for the benefit
of our farmers. Ilis papers show an
amazing degree of care and patient indus
try in their preparation, conjoined with
no little knowledge of agricultural sci
ence.
Tlie “Soil Tests” include the particu
lars of over two hundred experiments
made by representative men in all parts
of the State, with almost every commerci al
fertilizer known to the trade. Each of
these is recorded witli exactness and care,
in accordance with a prescribed form fur
nished by Commissioner Henderson.
They afford a mass of instructive infor
mation impossible to be obtained in any
other manner. Indeed, tlie farmer has
only to study these experiments which
cover every grade and variety of soil, to
become fully posted as to the comparative
value of the various fertilizing compounds,
how to apply them and their adaptability
to liis own land.
Among the experiments, that of Gene
ral W. M. -Browne, Professor of Agricul
ture in the University of Georgia, was
made upon a very elaborate scale, and is
worthy ot especial mention. The land,
but recently a worn out old field, its
texture a stiff red clay, was first effectu
ally broken by tlie use of Brinley’s “uni
versal plow,” “Lester’s sub-soiler” and
double sliovel. 'A crop of pea vines had
also been previously turned under to the
depth of thirteen inches in November.
Before bedding, the ground was fertilized
with various compounds at the rate of
two hundred pounds per acre,and the seed
deposited on the tenth of April.
The commercial fertilizers employed
were twenty-two in number, embracing
many of the most popular brands,
and a compost formed of 750 pounds of
green cotton seed, 750 pounds stable
manure, and 500 pounds Patapsco Acid
Phosphate. The latter was applied at
the rate of twenty bushels per acre. At
certain.intervals, a given number of rows
of the natural soil also were left, and
cultivated without any artificial help.
As the cotton matured and opened, cneh
picking was weighed and kept separate.
The result showed a yield of 1008.50
pounds of seed cotton as the minimum
product per acre of the fertilized areas,
while the maximum reached 1670.40
pounds. Tlie latter was manured with
Etiwan crop food.
The experiments in wheat were only
four in number, and the fertilizers used
at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, were
the Patapsco guano, the yield from which
was 20 J bushels; Soluble Pacific guano,
yield 17| bushels; stable manure, 70
bushels in quantity, yield 17 bushels:
cotton seed, 60 bushels applied, yield 10 J
bushels.
The wheat was sown in drills on. the
9th of October. Professor Browne says:
“My observation as to the use of fertiliz
ers convinces me that no farmer in Geor
gia can afford to do. without them, pro
vided he protects himself against fraud by
purchasing only the standard brands,
duly tested and approved by the tag of
the Department of Agriculture. I be
lieve that the maximum quantity that
can be profitably applied is 200 pounds
per acre.”
nE SUPPLEMENTAL BBPOBT
of Dr. Henderson, is a most valuable sta
tistical publication. It contains numerous
tables giving the total yield of the leading
crops iu Georgia, compared to the total
yield of the same in 1878; and the actual
yield per acre' in 1879. The tables em
brace separately, North Georgia, Middle
Geoigia, South Geoigia, East Geoigia and
Southeast Geoigia. Then follows a mete
orological table, also, for each of the
above divisions of the State, giving
the maximum, minimum and mean
temperature every month, the rain
fall of each month, the latest spring frost
and the first killing frost for each month.
It is needless to remark how very useful
these data will be hereafter for instituting
comparisons with the past and present of
agriculture in Georgia, and to measure the
future material progress of our noble
State.
The supplement also contains excellent
observations upon the condition and status
of all the principal crops that are grown
in the commonwealth, with appropriate
suggestions concerning the same.
We trust the exceeding usefulness of
these reports of the very able and efficient
Commissioner of Agriculture, will suffice
to kill off the opposition hereafter to that
most important of all the bureaux of the
State.
Wants of the Soil.—Careful obser
vation of the growth of crops will enable
the fanner to ascertain the wants of his
soil, while by the application of a few
general principles he may be led‘to the
general improvement of his lands. If,
with a good sun exposure, his crops wear
pale green, he may safely infer a lack of
nitrogen; if. the straw is soft and too
weak to bear the head, it will teach
him that his soil is deficient in available
potash; if ije lias a good growth of straw
and a light yield of grain, he will find, by
tlie application of phosphates, that the
yield of grain will he largely increased,
though while growing Ins crop may not
appear to be benefited

An Interesting Fish Story.
From the fifth annual report of Prof.
Spencer F. Baird, United States Fish
Commissioner, we collect some state
ments respecting the little fish variously
called Aleivives, Menhaden, Mossbunkers,
Hardhead, Pogies—a fish about a foot to
fifteen inches in length, which swarms on
our Atlantic coast from Maine to Indian
river, in Florida, and form annually an
immense value in the catch for their oil
and the manure left in the residuum after
pressing out the oil, which constitutes
what is commonly called fish guano, and
applied in its crude condition to oursandy
soil, shows the best results of any bought
fertilizer of the same commercial value
we have ever seen. The young of this
fish is also sold for food,jmt up in tin
cans, with cotton seed oil, and call'
American sardines.
On the Northern coasts they appear
late in the spring, but below Cape Hat-
teras they do not leave the coast in the
winter. They feed upon the sediment
which is found at the bottom of still and
shallow waters in protected bays, and
their fecundity is marvellous. The
port says that six or seven hundred mil
lions of these fish are taken annually by
the fishermen, while as food to other
fish—bluefish, whales, sharks, sword-fish,
dogfish, mackerel—the number destroyed
is incalculable.
The Professor estimates that, in all,
over three thousand millions are destroy
ed annually on the Atlantic coast, and
form the food of many of the other fish
consumed on the table, besides those ta
ken by larger fishes of prey. The bone
whale will swim under a school of them,
and rising take in a hogshead full of them
at a single gulp. Tlie shark will. take
hundred at a meal. A great swarm of
blue fish will dash in among them, and
cover the surface of the ocean with their
blood, oil and debris, besides what is
swallowed.
These fish subsist and multiply upon
food otherwise useless and inaccessible,
and yet it is estimated that tlie manure
produced from their carcasses is equal in
value to sixty million pounds of Peruvian
guano, worth two millions of dollars; and,
besides that, the product in oil is greater
thau that from all the whales captured in
America.
The cateliing'and reduction of the fish
to oil andguano is, of course, a very large
and profitable business, but it is not pur
sued to any extent below tlie Jersey coast.
It is singular that, on all that immense
stretch of seaboard from Delaware to the
State of Tamanlapas in Mexico—three
or four thousaud miles—though the waters
ail swarm with fish of immense value for
oil and manure—the annual catch from
which should be worth a hundred-fold
more tlian all the guano bought and con
sumed in our agriculture, hardly a ton is
used. We are poor economists,
The Coast Defenses and Navy.
A scream of alarm comes from the poli
ticians about the coast defenses of the
United States. They are all utterly
worthless. Modern guns will beat them
ail to powder in a very short time. How
can they stand against these 600 pound
conical balls? Tlie condition of the
country is frightful, lamentable. And it
becomes worse than that, when we con
sider the six or eight thousand miles of
American seaboard, and what it would
cost to defend it with proper forts, shot-
proof against the heaviest modem gun
nery. Tlie last dollar in the last Ameri
can pocket would fall before the under
taking was complete, and when all should
be built, the country would be defense
less in less than a generation afterward,
It is a wise forecast of the ex
tent of the job - which stimulates the
jobbers to commit the country to the un
dertaking. There are not only millions,
but hundreds of millions in it, and when
all is done, such sand banks as the Con
federates used to throw up are for better
defenses than.the best forts.
The Navy, too, is in a shocking fix, and
has never been in any other condition for
the past fifteen years; for the more it
costs, the more worthless it - becomes, ac
cording to the testimony of experts, a sin
gle one ot these ironclad ganlbursters from
England or France would blow the whole
American Nary out of water, and there
fore, they should be very civil and keep
close at home for fear something had
might happen to them. “Vessels large
may venture .more, hut little slijps should
keep near shore.”
This * simultaneous scare about coast
and naval defenses, means something.
Rightly managed, what will it be worth to
Secretaries and contractors under the in
coming Grant- administration; should it
income, ' But let the brethren come to
ures. Let them make a moderate estimate
of the cost of their defenses and ships,
and the annual cost of manning and
equipping them, and no damage that a
foreign enemy could possibly do us with
out them would amount to half as much.
The country would make a fortune by
funding all naval and coast defense ap
propriations at four per cent, interest at
an insurance capital, and then assuming
tlie risk of loss and damage by a foreign
enemy.
What General Grant Sayg .of the
Surrender at Appomattox, and of
General Robert E. Lee. . • ,
J. B. Young, who accompanied General
Grant in his recent circumnavigation of
the globe, plays the role of Boswell,
though not half so well, in his late pub
lication entitled “Around the World with
General Grant.” In a late-nmnber of
the Philadelphia Times, we find an ex
tended extract from the book, in which
the author puts the following words into
his chief’s mouth concerning the last act
iu the drama, when the curtain fell and
the Confederacy was no more:
You see, the war was an enormous
strain upon the country. Rich as we were
I do not now see how we could have en-
dured it another year, even from a finan
cial point of view.
“So with these views I wrote Lee, and
opened tho correspondence with which
the world is familiar. Lee does* not ap
pear •wcell in that correspondence, not
not nearly so well as he did in our subse
quent interviews, where his whole hear
ing was that of a gallant and patriotic sol
dier, concerned alone for the welfare of
his army and his State. I received word
that Lge would meet me at a point within
our lines near Sheridan’s headquarters.
_ had to ride quite a distance through a
muddy country. ' I - remember now
that . I was concerned' about my
personal appearance. I had ax eld
suit on, without my sword, and without
any distinguishing mark -of rank except
the shoulder straps of a lieutenant general
on a woolen blouse. I was splashed with
mud in my long ride. I was afraid Lee
might think I meant to show him studied
discourtesy by so coming—at least I
thought so. But I had no other clothes
within reach, as Lee’s letters found me
away from my. base of supplies. I kept
on riding until I met Sheridan. The Gen
eral, who was "one of tho heroes of tho
campaign, and whose pursuit of Uee was
perfect in its generalship and energy, told
me where to find Lee. I remember that
Sheridan was impatient when Imet him,
anxious and suspicious abput the whole
business; feared there might be a plan to
escape; that he had Lee. at his feet, and
wanted to end the business by going in
and forcing an absolute surrender by cap
ture. In met, lie had.bls froops ready for
such an assault when Lee’s white flag
came within his line.
MEETING OF THE CHIEFTAINS.
“I went up to the house where Lee was
waiting. I found him in a fine, new,
splendid uniform, which only recalled my
anxiety as to my own clothes while on my
way to meet him. I expressed my regiet
that I was compelled to meet him in so
unceremonious a manner, and he replied
that the only suit he had available was
one which had been sent him by some ad
mirers in Baltimore, and which he then
wore for the first time. We spoke of old
friends in the army. I remembered hav
ing seen Lee in Mexico.- He was so
much higher in rank than myself at the
time that I supposed he had no recollec
tion of me. But he said he remember
ed me very well. We talked of old
times and exchanged inquiries about
friends. Lee then broached the subject of
our meeting. I told him my farms and
Lee, listening attentively, asked me to
write them down. I took out my ‘mani
fold’ order hook and wrote them down.
General Lee put on his glasses and read
them over. The conditions gave the offi
cers their side arms, private horses and
personal baggage. I said to Lee that 1
’ 1 believed
hoped and believedthis would be the close
of the war. That it was most important
that the men should go home and go to
work, and the government would not
throw any obstacles in the way. Lee an
swered that it would have a most happy
effect and accepted the terms. I handed
over niy penciled memorandum to an aid
to put into ink, and we resumed our con
versation about old times and friends in
the armies.
COURTESIES BETWEEN THE OPPOSING
HEROES.
“Various officers came in—Longstreet,
Gordon, Pickett, from the South; Sheri
dan, Ord and others from our side. Some
were old friends—Longstreet and myself
for instance—and we had a general talk.
Lee no doubt expected me to ask for his
sword, but I did'not want his svyord. It
would only,” satd the General, smiling,
“have gone to the Patent Office to

There was a pause, when General Lee
said that most of the animals in bis cav
alry and artillery were owned by the
privates, and he would like to know un
der the terms, whether they would be re
garded as private property or tlie property
of the government. 1 said that under the
terms of surrender they belonged to the
government. • General Lee read the letter
and said that was so. I then skid to the
General thatl believed and hoped this was
the last battle of the war; that I saw the
wisr.om of these men getting home and to
work as soon as possible, and that I would
give orders to allow any soldier or officer
claiming a horse or a mule tp take it,
General Lee showed some emotion at this
—a feeling which I also shared—and said
it would have a most happy effect. The
interview elided and 1 gave orders for
rationing his troops. The next day I met
Lee on horseback and we had a long talk.
In that conversation I urged upon Lee the
wisdom of ending the war by the surren
der of the other armies. I asked him to
use his influence with thfe people of tlie
South—an influence that was supreme—
to bring the war to ail end. Genetal Lee
said that liis campaign in Virginia was
the last organized resistance which the
South was capable of .making—that I
might have to march a good deal and en
counter isolated commands here and
there; bu there was no longer
any army which could make
a stand. I told Lee that this
fact only made his responsibility greater
and any ftirllier war would be a crime, j
asked him to go among the Southern peo
ple and use his influence to have all men
under arms surrender ou the same terms
given to the Army of Northern Virginia
He replied that lie could not do so without
consultation with President Davis. I was
sorry. I saw that the Confederacy had
gone beyond the reach of President Davis,
and that there was nothing that could be
done except wliat Lee could do to benefit
the Southern people. V I was anxious to
get them home and have'our armies go to
their homes and fields. But Lee would
not move without Davis, and, as a matter
of fact, at that time, or soon after, Davis
was a fugitive in tlie woods.
grant’s opinion of lee.
. “Lee was of a slow, conservative, cau
tious nature, without imagination or hu
mor, always the same, with grave digni
ty. I nsver could see in his achievements
what justifies his reputation. The illu
sion that nothing but heavy odds beat
him will not stand the ultimate light of
history. I know it is not true. Lee was
a good deal of a headquarters general—a
desk general, from what I can hear and
troin what his officers say. He was almost
too old for active service—the best ser
vice in tbe field. At the time of the sur
render lie was 58 or 59 and I was 43.
“His officers used to say that lie posed
himself, that he was retiring and exclu
sive, and that his headquarters were diffi
cult of access. I remember when tbe com
missioners came through our lines to treat,
just before tbe surrender, that one of them
remarked on the great difference between
our headquarters and Lee’s. I always
kept open house at headquarters, so far as
the army was concerned.
. “My anxiety,” said the General, “for
some time before Richmond fell was lest
Lee should abandon it. My pursuit of
Lee was hazardous. I was in a position
of extreme difficulty. You see, I was
marching away from my supplies, while
Lee was falling back on bis supplies. If
Lee bad continued his flight another day
I should have had to abandon tbe pursuit,
fall back to Danville, build tbe railroad
and feed my army. So far as supplies
were concerned, I was almost at my last
gasp when the surrender took place.”
The slander perpetrated by General
Grant upon his illustrious antagonist who
had so often foiled his movements and
hurled back in dismay and confusion the
Yankee legions, five times superior in
numbers, is simply contemptible and
ridiculous. So will not the historian say
when chronicling the bloody encounters
and unparalleled achievements of General
Lee In his numerous repulses of the enemy
in their several “on to Richmond” cam
paigns. On the contrary, tho Confederate
chieftain will stand forth prominently
among the great captains of every age.
And if modesty, worth and self abnega
tion are taken into account, few, if any,
will be adjudged his peer. General Grant
will earn no laurels by this attempt to
disparage the immortal Lee who sleeps his
last sleep, and is well nigh worshipped by
every true Southron.

SUPERIOR COURT.
On Trial for Ills Life. . .
Yesterday the plan of having two
courts in progress was inaugurated at the
Court House, Judge Simmons presiding
in the Superior Court room and Judge C.
F. Crisp, of the Western circuit, in the
Judge’s room, engaged on the equity
docket. Macon is the second place in
the State in which this plan has been
practiced. ‘
. It was found to work well in Atlanta
where Judge Simmons assisted Judge
Hillyer for a number of days. It expe
dites business and proves a means of sav
ing much expense to the county by doing
twice as much on the dockets.
Yesterday in the Superior Court the old
colored man, Abe Morrison, was on trial
for the niufder of his wife, Caroline Mor
rison, in November last. The case was
fully noted at the time.
The old couple lived near the Junction,
and one morning shortly after his wife
had left the house, he followed. She was
found a few moments later on Bassett’s
Hill, fearfully beaten. She died iu two
or three weeks of her wounds. The old
man fled, and was caught not long since
at No. 14\ on the Macon and Brunswick
road, by Bailiff's Pridgeon and Moore.
He subsequently confessed to the com
mission of the deed, but claimed that his
intention was to give his wife a severe
beating, but not to kill her. Yesterday
the evidence in the case showed that the
old man had made threats the night be
fore against the life of his wife. Evidence
was also produced to show that the wo
man died in consequence of the blows
from the old man’s stick.
No evidence yras produced by the de
fense,the prisoner simply making his state
ment. In it he admitted that he had
done the work, but claimed that he was
punishing his wife because of general neg
lect of his comfort and other more serious
charges.
The evidence was concluded yesterday.
The argument will be opened this morn
ing. Tlie State is represented by the So
licitor General, and the prisoner by Mr.
H. A. Dunwody and Mr. J. L. Hardeman.
In Judge Crisp’s Court, some matters in
equity, which were submitted without a
jury, were heard and determined.
THE FLOYD RIFLES.
Services at St. Barnabas.
Tlie services at St. Barnabas Chapel on
Sunday morning, at which time Rev. T. A
Griffith, Chaplain of the Floyd Rifles,
preached a special sermon to the compa
ny, were unusually interesting. The
company assembled at the armory shortly
after ten o’clock, in full uniform, and un
der the command of Captain J. L. Harde
man, marched to the chapel. Here front
seats were assigned, and tbe services were
opened. After tlie reading of the Episco
pal service and the singing of several ap
propriate hymns, Mr. Griffiths delivered
well conceived, well timed and highly in
teresting discourse. The words of the
text were found in Joel, 3rd chapter, 9th
and 10th verses, in the words: Prepare
for war, wake up the mighty men, let all
tlie men of war draw near, let them come
up. Beat your plowshears into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears; let
the weak say I am strong. And Exodus,
17th chapter and 16th verse, because
tlie Lord hath sworn that the Lord will
have war with Amalek from generation
to generation.
No synopsis of the discourse will be at
tempted, as it would necessarily be mea
gre, and mar the symmetry of the sermon.
The duties of the Christian soldier were
fully described, and all urged to join the
army of Christians. Life was a ceaseless
battle, and those who enlisted under the
banner of the cross could neither rest or
look back. Tlie sermon was heard with
much pleasure not only by the members
of the company, but by tlie full congrega
tion.
At the conclusion of the services the
command broke ranks and retired. This
is the first time a special sennon has been
delivered to any of the companies of the
city in some time. We hope, however,
to hear several others.
A Canal War.
As to the-possibility of war with any
European power over the 1 Darien Canal,
which some of the Northern papers are
discoursing about, the Herald of Satur
day says:
The news from Washington which we
print to-day, corroborates the opinion
which every intelligent publicist should
have formed as to the improbability of
France committing herself to a guarantee
of the project of M. de Lesscps. The
State Department authorizes the state
ment that the French Minister at Wash
ington has communicated to Secretary
Evarts, under instructions from his gov
ernment, the assurance that it has no par
ticipation in the movements of M. de
Lesseps in the Isthmus, and that it regards
his projected canal as a private enterprise
in which tlie French government has no
concern. We have never had any doubt
that this would be found to be tbe real
position of the government of France, and
we are glad that an official communica
tion has put an early . extinguisher
on the crazy rant of buncombe politicians
and that class of interested patriots who
are always glad to think
There will be wars.
And I shall sutler be.
Carried Back.
The colored man, Henry Wood, alias
George Walker, who was arrested by of
ficer Fennell on last Friday, on the suspi
cion of having murdered a man in Taylor
county, has been carried back to Craw
ford county by a bailiff sent, up for the
purpose of getting him. It seems that
nearly two weeks ago, the prisoner, two
others and the deceased, Gus McKinney,
were playing a game of cards in Taylor
county, near the line of Crawford.
A dispute at length arose and the dead
man, who wa3 a stranger, was assaulted,
and in the melee which followed, was hit
in tlie head with a rock, from which blow
he afterwards died. The prisoner claimed
that another man threw the rock,although
tlie dead manstated he was thepersonwho
threw the fatal, missile. He was taken
for safe keeping to the jail of Crawford
county, to await an investigation.
A Heavy Rain,
With a mercury about forty, set in Sun
day night, about teft o’clock, aud a pro
fuse and pretty constant outpouring has
followed up to Monday night, with
promise of continuance.
The Child Sacrifice.
Tlie man Freeman, of Eocasett village,
Barnstable county, Massachusetts, who,
under a craze, sacrificed his little child
after the manner of Abraham, has been
sent to tlie Lunatic Asylum.
—In 1878 the price of a very handsome
ly furnished abode in a leading West End
quarter of London was fifteen guineas a
week for the season. In 1877 twenty-five
piineas a week was easily obtainable, and
n 1876 thirty guineas. This year one can
be had for eight guineas a week, and even
at that price few are yet let.
A Good Sign.
Rev. H. M. Turner, D.D., LL. D.
(col.), preached in tbe Cotton Avenue
Methodist Church on Sabbath morning.
The speaker was formerly a noted Radi
cal, and very obnoxious to the whites.
But the most hypercritical listener could
have found no fault with any of his utter
ances'on this occasion. The sermon was
nervous and perfectly "ortliordox exposi
tion of a passage in-Holy Writ. Not a
word of politics, no race antagonisms or
anything else of an offensive nature es
caped his lips. This much we will say for
Dr. Turner, and can but hope that the
good time is coming when all past differ
ences of every description between the
black and white races will exist uo
longer.
The present month of February is re
markable in having five Sundays—a cir
cumstance which will not occur again till
the year 1,920. The child bom on Sun
day, 29th of February,1880, must wait torty
years for its next birthday, and all the
living who see that Sunday, must spend
it well for they will never see another on
4 earth. ,
DEFAULTED STATE BONDS.
Tennessee Threatened With a $25
000,000 Law Suit
A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Commercial says representatives here of
the Southern States which have repudia
ted their debts, are watching with much
anxiety the bill now pending in the Su
preme Court, which New Hampshire has
filed against Louisiana. If this can be
made to stick, aud an injunction granted
prohibiting Louisiana officials from pay
ing out money in the Treasury for any
other purpose, it will be a signal for a fire
all along the line. Local sentiment and
sympathy here are altogether with New
Hamshire in this fight, and the hope is
general that she will make her defaulting
sister come up to the scratch and liqui
date her obligations. Large quantities of
Louisiana bonds are held here, which
gives the greater zest to this unique law
suit. The dishonored obligations of Ten
nessee, amounting to nearly $25,000,000,
are scattered all through the Northern
States, and if this suit against Louisiana
holds water, Tennessee will next be
brought Up for settlement. All required
of holders of these bonds will be to trans
fer them to their respective States, aud let
suit be brought after the manner of New
Hampshire against Louisiana. A gentle
man in this city holding quite a quantity
of Tennessee bonds, says he will give one
half of them to get the other half collec
ted.
The Emigrant’s Return.
The Chattanooga Times says Mr. George
R. Denton passed through the city yester
day en route for his home in Upper East
Tennessee. Mr. Denton is on his return
from Texas, aud relates a sad story of his
misfortunes.
He left his home in East Tennessee
few years ago, to try his fortunes in the
West. His wife and tiiree children ac
companied him. He was then in easy
circumstances. His children were lively,
rosy-cheeked and healthy, and his wife
was in the enjoyment of a healthy and
vigorous womanhood. They left their
home with bright visions for the future;
with onery prospect of success and happi
ness. He engaged in farming in Texas
and for a while it seemed as if all their
expectations of prosperity would be real
ized ; but soon tlie deadly ague laid its
deadly baud upon his little girls, and one
by one they were buried.. He was almost
distracted with grief and began neglecting
liis business. But liis cup of bitterness
still was not full. His wife died a few
weeks after his last child was buried. Af
ter this came business reverses, and from
all he had scarcely sufficient left to bring
him to his native home This is the story
as he related it to us.
He seems almost heartbroken;. his for
tune is shattered, and he is a perfect
physical wreck. He is now going home,
he says, to die. A perfect exhibition of
what is sometimes in the alluring prospects
of a Western life. .
Trying to Clap on the Quinine Breaks
Again.
The Philadelphia quinine monopolists
die hard. They are making a desperate
attempt to have the duty on cinchona re
established by the present Congress. A
Philadelphia paper, the Press, is lending
them its influence for that purpose.
But the game will not succeed. The
fact is patent that the price of this inval
uable drug in warm latitudes and malarial
districts, has declined sensibly within the
past year, and is destined to go even low
er. The revenue raised, upon the tax on
quinine has been appropriately styled
“blood money.’-’ It was wrung out of the
pittances ofttimes of the poor, who are
fpreed to work in exposed; situations or
starve, and to whom this specific against
fever is an indispensable necessity.
We trust our Southern members, Inde
pendents and all, will be a unit at least up
on this question.
Macon the Best Market for South*
west Georgia.
We had the pleasure of meeting last
evening Messrs. W. Minor and Joseph
Eichbaum, two of Montezuma’s enter
prising . merchants. They are both
staunch friends and old subscribers of the
Telegraph, and declare that they can
make their purchases of groceries, dry
goods and hardware on better terms in
Macon, freight taken into consideration,
than in New York, Baltimore, Chicago,
Louisville or any other Northern or West
ern city. And this is nothing but the
simple truth. Time and again have our
principal wholesale dealers offered to du
plicate any bona fide bill bought at the
North, freight off. Macon should be the
market town for all of Middle, Southern
and Southwestern Georgia, and when the
railroad commissioners adjust the sched
ules so that there can he no further dis
criminations, our city will almost double
its cotton receipts, and a new era of pros-
jerity will be inaugurated. “So mote it
The Galley Slave.
We learn from Manager Ford, that
early in March, the Galley Slave, the
latest and most snccessful of Bartley
Campbell’s dramas, will be presented in
Macon. The piay is now running its
third month at Niblo’s Garden in New
York, and has been presented'all through
the East and the West. It has never yet
been produced in the South, but from its
assured success in the North, it will no
doubt be well received when it' is brought
out; Some handsome panel lithographs
of some of the characters of the drama
will be on exhibition at Burr Brown’s to
day after eleven o’clock. •
