Old inhabitants say that there was a.
mild, open winter like this in 1848, and
also in 1822,-and that they were followed
by a mild spring, making the fruit season
extraordinarily early and abundant. The
great fear in regard to this weather is that
it is merely a postponement of winter un
til March, when all the buds will be nip

—There is a great agitation in New
York over the excessive cost of pilotage,
the charges for piloting a steamer over San
dy Hook bar being more than the pay of
a good captain for a year. The charges
are compulsory, and the New York IVi-
bune states that the owner of one of the
Havana lines, although he never employs
pilots, preferring to trust Ills captains, has
to pay pilotage at the rate of $2,800 for a
five days’ voynge, while the pay of a cap
tain Is only $2,400 a year. The plea of
tho pilots Is that It is necessary to make
charges compulsory in order to sustain the
service. 1 •
—A Washington ktter of Monday, says:
“ There was a meeting to-night at Senator
Don Cameron’s house, which was attend
ed by a number of tho leading Republican
politicians of Pennsylvania. The object
was to have Mr. Cameron agree upon some
plan by which the Pennsylvania delega
tion to the Chicago Convention should act
as a unit.' Mr, Cameron wants the dele
gation to go solid for Grant. It has been
discovered that the Blaine feeling is so
strong that this is Impossible. So the in
ference to-night was at the request, of the
Blaine men, with the object of having Mr.
Cameron to agree to Blaine as a second
choice with the delegation,* should Grant
be out of the question. No conclusion
was reached.”
—The Lynchburg Virginian Is urgign
the merchants of that place to embark
their capital in the construction of iron
and steel fttruaccs, and hot allow all the
valuable ores of Virginia to be gobbled
op by the large corporations of Pennsyl
vania. It is uiged that all the material for
Bessemer steel or iron is more accessible to
Lynchburg, and can be delivered there at
less cost than at Pittsburg or Philadelphia,
and that one such steel works as the Beth
lehem or the Edgar Thompson would be
worth more to Lynchburg than all her to
bacco factories together. There can be ho
doubt that the large Pennsylvania corpo
rations have stolen a march upon the Vir
ginians, and that the boom in iron has so
advanced the price of ore beds that a much
larger capital will now be required than
would have sufficed a year ago.
The currency question, says the
Raleigh Observer, will settle itself if left
alone. Much specie was sent South and
West last fall to pay for cotton and wheat.
It is still in the South ‘ and West. It is
said $165,000,000 of money of all sorts
were sentout into the qountiy from New
York. During the spring and summer
the bulk of-tills .'Will haveto go back to
New York. The cost of transporting spe
cie is so much greater'than the expense of
sending greeilbacks or paper money, that
the latter will, invariably be sent. The
result is whatever specie has been scatter-
^(Jtfcrough tho Sojitli and West will re
main and be in the hands of the people.
The paper money will go to the New
York banks. Two seasons like the last
will’ bring about a very general distribu
tion of specie throughout the country, and
when this Is done the currency question
will be robbed of all its difficulties.
-Senator-elect GarSeld has written a
letter to one of his constituents, in wlricli
expressed the opinion that the Repub

dial'support. Mr. Garfield says Mr. Sher
man has earned this recognition at the
bauds of the Ohio Republicans by twenty-
five years of conspicuous public service,
and that ho moreover “ deserves the spe
cial recognition of the Nation for the great
service he has renderel in making the re
sumption law a success, and placing the
national finances on a better basis.” Mr.
Garfield, In his letter, calls attention to
the fact that Ohio is a close State, the ma

The New York Chronicle of Saturday
last reports the receipts of tlie seven days
ending the night before at 137,191 bales,
against 167,097 for the corresponding
week of last year. Total receipts of the
current cotton year to that date 3,751,301
bales, against 3,269,740 for the corres
ponding period of the year 1878-9—show
ing an increase of481,561 bales.
The Cotton Exchange statement of last
Friday was as follows: Receipts of the
week 134,591, against 170,596. Total to
date 3,761,793, against 3,220,158—showing
an increase of 541,635 bides.
The Chronicle's interior port table
shows receipts for the week 64,603 hales,
against CS,339 for the same week last,
year. Shipments 60,802, against 65,989
last year. Stocks 368,880, against 220,935

1878, and 2,907,446 in 1877 at same date.
These figures show an increase of 119,462
bales on the visible supply of last year at
same date, and a decrease o’f 10S,S61 on
the visible supply of 1838, : and of 483,664

Tho Chronicle's weather telegrams of
last Wednesday indicate a distressing con
dition of drought In Texas—the ground at
most points being too hard far the plow
and small grain crops and stock suffering.
The winter drought now prevailing in
Texas is the worst ever known.

very little fellduriugtbe week. Montgom
ery and Selma had light rains. In Ala
bama the highest range of the mercury

the highest was 71 and average 47 and 52.
In Augusta the highest was : 72 and the
average 50. In Savannah the bigliest 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; 1876-79, 3,485,022;
1877-78,2,345,758. V
The Chronicle, premising that it is in
position to state quite closely the Overland
receipts of January, and to bring down
the crop movement to first instant, puts
tho figures at 4,713,000 bales against
3,858,740 last crop year. Aftertlie 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 hales. Our presumption
is, however, that fair prices have brought
the crop forward with tuiusual rapidity,and
that receipts will hereafter drop off rapidly
Tho 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
made, 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 104,19S in 1878—105,705 in
1877 and 107,014 in 1870, which were the
heaviest years known in tho history of
cotton manufacture. The Chronicle,
therefore,, proceeds to argue, with its
usual caution, from these facts and from
the general trade situation, that the rate
of consnmption in Europe this year cannot
be less than 110,000 bales of 400 pounds
each per week, which would necessitate a
European supply of 5,720,000 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,, is of the
opinion that nothing could have been
more wise and timely than the abrogation
of, the contract entered i uto between Mr,
Hadley anil Messrs,, Cole anil Brown.
Had the original prograipme been car
ried out, all would have been well. Col
onel Colo is more than half a. Georgian,
and Iris 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 Startdlford and the Louisville and
Nashville road,the railway system of Geor
gia would have been sacrificed to that grasp
ing monopoly. Having several gnlfoutlets,
and entire control of the coast from Fensa-
cola to New Orleans, anil* 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

other station on the Central, via Chatta

railroads of the State would be reducodto
the position of mere local highways, and,

We give these views just as received; ant]

SOIL TESTS OF FERTILIZERS
AND SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE OF
THE STATE OF GEORGIA FOR 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 tlie many practical andadmira-
blc suggestions he lias made for tlie benefit
of our farmers. His papers show an
amazing degree of care and patient .indus
try in their preparation, conjoined with
no little knowledge of agricultural sci
ence. / ; ‘ ’ ’ ‘
The-“Soil Tests” include the particu
lars of over two hundred experiments
made by representative men in all parts
of the State, with almost every commercial
fertilizer known to the trade. Each of
these is recorded with 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, the farmer has
only to study .tiiese, 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 jmd their; adaptability

Among the experiments, that; of Gene
ral W. X. Browne, Professor of Agricul
ture in. the University, of Georgia, was
made upon a very elaborate scale, and is
worthy of especial mention- . Tlie land,
bat recently a' worn out ‘old field, its
texture a stiff red clay, was first effectii-
ally broken by tlie nse of Brinley’s "Uni
versal plow,” "Lester’s sub-soiler” and
double shovel. 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
witli various compounds at the rate of
two hundred pounds per acre,and tlie 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 stabli
manure, and 500 pounds Patapsco Acid
Phospliate. The latter was applied at
tlie 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 tlie cotton matured and opened, each
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 i070.40
pounds. The latter was manured with
Etiwan crop food:
The experiments in wheat were only
tour in number, and the fertilizers used
at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, were
the Patapsco gnano, the yield from which
was 20J bushels; Soluble Pacific guano,
yield 17§ bushels; stable manure, 70
bushels in quantity, yield 17 bushels:
cotton seed, 60 bushels applied, yield 16J
bushels. '«
The wheat was sown ; in drills on the
9th of October. Professoi^ Browne says:
“My observation as to the’use of fertiliz

An Interesting Fish Story.
From the fifth annual report of Prof.
Spencer F, ; . Baird, United. States Fish
CommissfoBer, ‘ we ■ collect some state
ments recocting the little fish variously
called. Ale3yives,Menhaden, Mossbunkers,
jiardliesul, Pogies—a fisli about a foot to
fifteen inches in length, which swarms on
our Atlantic cp^t 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 caned fish guano, and,
-applied in its crude condition to oursandy.
soil, shows the best results of any fcought
fertilizer of the same commercial value
we have ever seen. The young of this
fish is also sold fon food,jiut up in tin
cans, with cotton seed oil, and called
American sardines.'
On the Northern coasts they (appear
late in the spring, but below Cape Hat-
teras they do not leave the coast in tho
winter. They feed upon the sedimfent
which is found at the bottom of stiil and
shallow waters in protected bays, and
their fecundity is -marvellous. The
port says that six or seven bandied mil
lions of these fisb are taken jiunually by
the fishermen, while as -food to other
fisli—bluefish, whales, shanks, sword-fish,
dqgfish, mackerel—the number destroyed
is incalculable.
The Professor estimates that, in all,
overthree 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 laiger fishes of prey. The bone
whale will swim under a school of them,
and rising take in a hogshead full of thpm
at a single gulp. . The shark will take
hundred at a meal. A great swann of
blue fisb will dash in among them, and
cover the surface of the ocean with their
blood, oil and debris, ..besides 'what
swallowed.
These fish subsist arid multiply upo:
food otherwise useless and inaccessible,
and yet it is estimated that the manure
produced from their carcasses is equal in
value to sixty million pounds of Peruvian
guano, worth two millions .^f ^pllars; and
besides that, the product; in oil is greater
than that from all the whales captured in
America.
'i .The catching and reduction p? the fish
to oil and guano is, of course,.a very large
and profitable business, but it is not pur
sued to any extent below the Jersey coast.
It is singular tliat, on all that immense
stretch of seaboard from Delaware to tho
State of Tamaulapas in Mexico—three
or four thousand miles—though the waters
all swarm with fish of immense value for
oil and manure—the annual catch from
which should ho worth a hundred-fold
mofethrih all the guano bought and con-
campalgn, and whose pursuit of L ie was
perfect in its generalship and energy, told
me where to find Lee. I remember that
Sheridan was impatient when I met him,
anxious and suspicious abowt the whole
business; feared there migte be a plan to
'■-i 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 fact, he bad his troops ready for
such an assault when Lee’s white flag
came within his line.
MEETING OF THE CHIEFTAINS,
i “I went up to the house where Lee was
waiting. I found him in a line, new,
splendid uniform, which only recalled my
anxiety as to my own clothes while on my
way to' meet him. I expressed my regret
surned in,our agriculture, hardly a ton is
used. We are poor economists.
The {toast Defenses and Navy.
A scream of alarm comes from the poli
ticians . about the . coast defenses of the
United States. They are all utterly
wortliless. Modem guns Will heat them
all to powder in a very short time. How
can they stand against these 500 pound
conical balls? The condition of the
country is- frightful, lamentable. And It
becomes .worse tlmn that, when we con
sider tlie six or eight thousand miles of
American seaboard, and wliat it would
cost to defend it with proper forts, sliot-
proof against the heaviest modem gun
nery. The last dollar in the last Ameri
can pocket would fail before tlie 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,
tut hrindreds of millions in it, and when
all'is done, such send banks as tlie Con
federates used to throw up are for better
defenses than the best forts.
The Navy, too, is in a shocking fix, and
lias never, been in any other condition for
the past fifteen years; tor the more it
costs, the more Worthless it becomes, ac
cording to the testimony of experts, a sin
gle one of these ironcladgaulbursters from
England or France would blow the whole
American Navy out of water, and there
fore, they should be very civil and keep
close at home for fear something bad
might happen to them. “Vessels large
may venture more, but little ships should
keep near shore.” «, it
This simultaneous scare abont coast
arid'^naval defenses, means' something.
Rightly managed, what will it be wortii to
Secretaries and: contractors under the in
coming Grant administration, should it
incoine. But let the bretliren^ome to fig
ures. Let them make a moderate estimate
of the cost of tlieir defenses and ships,
and the annual, cost of manning and
equipping them, ajid j no damage that a
foreign enemy could possibly do us with
out them would amount to balf as much;
The country would make a fortune by
funding all nayal, 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. ., ;uj.., ,-p

that the only suit he had available was
one which had been sent him by some ad- j twice as much on the dockets,
mirere in Baltimore, and which he then
wore for tlie 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 terms and
Lee, listening attentively, liked me to
write them down. I took out my ‘mani
fold’ brder hook' and wrote them down.
General Lee put on bis 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
hoped and believedthiswould be the close
of the war. That it was most important
that the men sbonld 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 banded
over my 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.
Lqe no doubt expected me to ask for bis
sword, but I did not want his sword. It
would only,” said the General, smiling,
“have gone to the Patent Office fo
be worshiped by the Washington 1 Rebels.
There was a pause, when General Lee
said that most of the animals in his 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 the property
of the government. Isaid that under the
terms of surrender they belonged to the
government. -General Lee read the letter
and said that was so.' I then said to the
General that I believed and hoped this was
tlie last battle of the war; that I saw the
wiscom 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 to take it,
General Lee showed some emotion at this
—a feeluig which I also shared—and said
it would have a most happy effect. The
interview ended and I gave orders for
rationing his troops. The next day I met
Lee on horseback and we bad 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 the people of the
South—an influence that was supreme-
to bring the war to an end. General Lee
said that his campaign in Virginia was
the last organized resistance which tlie
South was capable of making—that
might have to march a good deal and en
counter isolated commands here and
there; bn there was no longer
any army which could make
stand. I told Lee that this
fact only made his responsibility greater,
and any further war would be a crime. I
asked him to go among the Southern peo
ple and use his influence to have all men
under arms surrender on the same terms
S ven to tlie Army of Northern Viiginia,
e replied that be could not do so without
consultation with President Davis. I was
sorry. I saw that the Confederacy bad
gone beyond the reach of President Davis,
and that there was nothing that could be
done except what Lee could do to benefit
the Southern people. I was anxious to
get them home and have our armies go to
tlieir 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,
“Leo was of a slow, conservative, cau
tious nature, without imagination or hu
mor, always the same, with grave digni
ty. I n’ver could see in his achievements
what justifies his reputation. The illu
sion that nothing hut heavy odds beat
liim 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 wliat I can bear and
trom what his officers say. He was almost
too old for active service—the best ser
vice in the field. At the time of tlie sur-
iender he 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 tlie com
missioners came through our lines to treat,
just before tlie 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 sbould’ abandon it. My pursuit of
Lee was hazardous. I was iu a position
of extreme difficulty. You see, I was
marching away from my supplies, while
Lee was falling back on his supplies., If
Lee bad continued liis flight another day
I sbould have bad to abandon the pursuit,
fall back to'Danville, build tlie railroad
and feed my. army. So far as i supplies
were concerned, I was almost at my last
gasp widen the sunrender took place.”
The slander perpetrated by General
Grant upon his'illustrious antagonist who
bad so often {foiled liis . movements and
hurled ,back ini dismay and Confusion the
Yankee legions; live 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 Ids numerous repulses of the enemy
in their several “on to! Richmond” cam
paigns. Ori the contraiy, the Confederate
chieftain will stand forth, prominently
among the great captains of qvery age.
And if modesty, worth and self abnega-
tiori arc taken into account, few, if any,
will bo adjudged Ills peer. General Grant
will earn no laurels by this attempt to
disparage the immortal Lee who sleepsiliis
last sleep, and Is well nigli worshipped by
'eyejytrup Southron. 'V .-
Yesterday in the Superior Court the old
colored man, Abe Morrison, was on trial
for the murder 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 heaten. She died in two
or three weeks of her wounds. The old
man fled, and was caught not long since
at No. 141 on the Macon and Brunswick
road, by Bailiff’s Pridgeon and Moore.
He subsequently confessed to tlie com
mission of the deed, but claimed that his
intention was to give his wife a severe-
heating, but not to hill 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 was 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 yeslerday.
The argument will be opened this morn
ing. The 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
jury, were heard and determined.
A Canal War.
As to tlie'possibility of war with any
European power over the 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
liave formed as to the improbability of
France committing herself to a guarantee
of. the project of M. de Lesseps. 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 the French government has no
concern. We have never had any doubt
that this would be found to he the 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
?adto think
here will be wars
And £ shall sutler be.

THE FLOYD KMXES.
Services at St. Barnabas.
The 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 tlie cliapel. Here front
seats were assigned, and the services were
opened. After the reading of the Episco
pal service and the singing of several ap
propriate hymns, Mr. Griffiths delivered a
well conceived, well timed and highly inr
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
the 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 ICth verse, because
the 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 inar tlie 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. The sermon was heard with
much pleasure not only by the members
of tlie company, but by the full congrega
tion.
At the conclusion of the services the
command broke ranks aud retired. This
is the first time a special sermon has been
delivered to any of the companies of the
city in some time. We hope, however,
to hear several others.
Carried Back.
The colored man, Henry Wood, alias
George Walker, wlio was arrested by of
ficer Fennell, on last Friday, on the suspi
cion of having murdered a man in Taylor
county, bas been carried back to Craw
ford county by a bailin’ 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, wlip was a stranger, was assaulted,
and in the melee which followed, was hit
in the head with a rock, from which blow
he afterwards died. The prisoner claimed
that another man threw tlie rock,although
the dead man stated he was the person who
” —’le fatal missile. He was taken

to await an investigation. ’

Barnstable county, Massachusetts, who,
under a craze, sacrificed bis little child
after the manner of Abraham, has been
sent to the 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

ineas a week was easily obtainable, and
1870 thirty guineas. This year one can
be bad for eight guineas a week, and even
that price few are yet let.

DEFAULTED STATE BONDS.
Tennessee Threatened With a $25,-
- 000,000 Law Sait
A Washington special to tlie 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 ont money in tlie 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. Laige quantities of
Louisiana bonds are held here, which
gives tlie 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 tlieir respective States, and 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 be will give one
halfofthemtogetthe other half collec
ted.
The Emigrant’s Return.
Tlie Chattanooga Times says Mr. George
R. Denton passed through the city yester
day cn route for his home in Upper East
Tennessee. Mr. Denton is on his return
from Texas, and relates a sad story of liis
misfortunes.
He left his home in East Tennessee a
few years ago, to try liis fortunes in the
West. His wife and three children ac
companied him. He was then in easy
circumstances. His children were lively,
rosy-cheeked aud 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 every 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 the deadly ague laid its
deadly hand upon Iris little girls, and one
by one they were buried. He was almost
distracted with grief and began neglecting
his business. But Iris 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 bad scarcely sufficient left to bring
him to bis native home This is the story
as he related it to us.
He seems almost heartbroken; bis 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, i3 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-
The revenue raised upon the tax on
quinine bas been appropriately styled
“blood money.” It was wrung out of the
pittances ofttimes of the poor, who are
forced 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.
Hacon 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-
licatc any bona fide bill boiight at the
forth, freight off. Macon sbould be tlie
market town for all of Middle, Southern
and Southwestern Geoigia, and when the
railroad commissioners "adjust the sched
ules so that there can he no further dit»
criminations, our city will almost double
its cotton receipts, and a new era of pros
perity will be inaugurated. “So mote it
be.” •"
The Galley Slave.
We learn from Manager Ford, that
early in March, the Galley Slave, the
latest and most successful of Bartley
Campbell’s dramas, will be presented in
Macon. The play is now running its
third month at Niblo’s Garden in New
York, and. has been presented all through
the East arid 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.
