Oar Spring: Freshet.
Yesterday we took a look at the river
u»d low lands about the city, and found
•Terytldng suffering from an extended and
stupendous “boom.” The river at the
bridge shows a level about two feet under
the Centennial freshet, and is spread out
opposite the ice factory, to about three
times its accustomed width. There is at
this point, on the opposite side, a cut-off
or arm we do not remember ever to have
soon during any other freshet, and if it
should extend further down the river,
ffould greatly endanger some ofthehouses
tear the bridge.
hi the morning we rode with a friend
into the swamp by way of the butcher
l*ns; before we readied tiie brick-yard
the road disappeared in a turbid stream,
in the midst of which we could see a
bridge calmly floating. Being anxious to
jot out far enough to see the exteut of the
overflow we crossed this bridge, but when
°' J r friend, who held the reins, looked out
w rt»ss a sheet of water. a hundred yards

near the fence somewhere, but whether

Ilentb of Charley Bcngcr." ;
The public will regret to learn of the
death of Charley Benger, which occurred
yesterday at 1 o’clock a. m. lie has for
fifty odd years been identified with the
Volunteers of this city in the capacity of
£fer, and well-known to all of our old
citizens. Benger was born, we know not
when and where; the first knowledge we
have of him is that he was lifer for the
American forces when the British lauded
at Darien. This was in 1813, and Char
ley in speaking of the occasion used to re
mark that lie was “a boy” then.
He must have been considerable of a
boy, however, as he was even then a pilot
on the Ocmulgee, which was, by the way,
his regular business until the Volunteers
se.'urod liis sen ices. Nor can it be ascer
tained at what time it was he joined the
company. Captain A. G. Butts says that
in 1SB Charlie was blowing the fife for
them, and Joseph Wells, Esq., remarked
yesterday, that lie paraded with them in
Ivy. at which time the music was fur-
nislied by Charley Benger, and that it was
Ids impression lie had been with them ev
er since their oiganization in 1S25.
Ilengur never was a slave. It is the
impression now among some of the old
Volunteers that he was the property of the
company, but such was not the case. The
mistake originated from the old lifer’s
faithful adherence to the corps be had
cVen, and the almost absolute command
tbybad over liim. As before stated, he
v.a, a member of the company as its fifer
more than fifty years; accompanying them
mi their excursions and campaigns, and
fr,barging liis duties faithfully. By rea
son of his position and honors, Benger be
came a great favorite, apd was humored
ly tlio company in everything.
From some cause he did not enter Vir
ginia witli bis old comrades, but they sent
for him as soon as they reached Norfolk,
and when it was kuown that “Bengy”
was near at hand, a sqnad was detailed
with a wheelbarrow to meet and bring
Lim in, which was douc amid the cheers
of the whole battalion. A thousand an
ecdotes of Bengy might be gathered in
this connection, from surviving members,
lie was then very fat,it is said,and had only
one rival as a fife blower in the army,
who was, we believe, with the Columbus
company. They used to worry him into
efforts to excel this rival, and, it is. said,
that Charley would blow his brains out
almost, iu bis efforts to do it satisfactori
ly.
For the last two or three years he has
been unable to do anything, and has en
joyed a pension from his old compapy.
lie will he buried Sunday by the Macon
Volunteers in full dress uniform, arid as
they lay the gallant old fellow beneath
the sod,a salute from the company, which
has for a half century kept step to his mu
sic, will echo above his head, a fit requiem
for his eternal rest.
Hankinsvtlle Again Destroyed.
The city was startled yesterday mom-
j ever known before, though the report that
. the crops of Sumter county were ruined,
! proved to have been unfounded. They j l n S by the report that our enterprising
are hut slightly damaged, nor is there sister town of Hawkinsville had again
j much damage to the crops in any section.
Bnt little com had been planted upon the
lowlands.
The rain last night in the city, was the
heaviest we have had. About seven
o’clock it began, and continued with but
slight cessation throughout the night.
Onr New Opera House.
The City Council last week granted to
Thomas Guernsey, et al., the encroach
ment on First street as petitioned for and
advertised as the law directs. The terms
of the grant are, that the grantees shall be
gin within six months and complete with
in two years a building on the premises
not less than sixty feet in height, and shall pidity. In a short time it had made its
fallen a victim to the all devouring flames.
A hundred rumors were ; afloat in regard
to the catastrophe; by some, it was asser
ted that the entire town was burned. A
reporter of the Tele or aith and Mes
senger soon got upon the trail of a relia
ble report, and in a few minutes had ob
tained all that was known of the affair,
from the insurance offices in the city, and
had telegraphed to our correspondent in
Hawkinsville for particulars, which are
as follows:
About one.o’clock yesterday morning a
fire broke out between the stores of Wat
son & Lewis, and T. A. Bevirc & Son,
and burned right and left with great ra-
pay into the treasury in consideration of
the grant the sum of $400. Mr. Guernsey
was present and exhibited plans of pro
posed work. Yesterday a reporter of tbe
Telegraph and Messenger called on
Mr. Guernsey and learned that tbe com
pany of which he is the representative,
will almost certainly accept the terms
and begin the work at once. The build
ing will consist of five stores and a thea
tre entrance, on Cotton Avenue, the entire
front being 105 feet. The Cherry street
front will be 135 feet. The height
of the building will be about
sixty feet, and it will be divided up as
follows: On Cotton Avenue,five iron front
stores; on Cherry street, in the basement,
water closets, billiard saloon and barber
shop; in the rear, facing the Dixie works,
the city market house, with a length of
135 feet aud breadth of 35. At the comer
of Cherry and First streets, there will be
a small store, intended for a restaurant or
coffee house. The second floor of
the building will be taken up
by the theatre and dressing rooms, all of
which will be completed iu first-class
style. The stage will face towards the
City hall, and the entrance will be oppo
site George R. Barker’s store. The build
ing will be completed by October 1st, if
the present company decides to build.
Mr. Guernsey thinks that without the
theatre even, the investment will pay ten
percent. He has already had applica
tions for every store.
“Mnst I Then I-enve Thee?”
It is moonlight on the Hill. From out
the trees a gentle zephyr creeps, to rob
the hyacinth of its perfumed breath, and
adown the garden walk; the whippoorwill
lends his montonc of sadness unto the
balmy night. Sleep, with brooding wings,
sits silent o’er the scene. But liark! it is
the tinkling guitar strummed by the
lonely Augustus. He comes. Beneath
the., vine clad window, in the ghostly
gloaming he pauses, ana up the flower
trelliscd wall he shoots a melancholy te
nor fraught with the passionate inquiry,
“Must I then leave thee here alone ?”
No answer returns, save the haunting
echo, and the low clicking of a distant
door. The scene changes.
It is the back yard tableaux. A white
robed old man bends above a chain-ed
dog aud sooths his too eager spirit as he
loosens the collar. A low voice says
“s-cc-ceck him, Bull-—take a short cut
round the rose-bush.” Alias'll—and the
old man is alone. The clatter of a fallen
guitar comes from the front; a sound like
the rush of a steeple chase nearing a
hedge is borne back, and neck and neck
two figures cross the picket fence to disap
pear down the dim perspective of the de
serted street. Then the old man meets
Bull as he returns on the outer walk, and
removes in a discouraged manner, a dark
object from his foaming mouth, while
the animal sneaks around to firs' ken
nel in silence. The door opens and
shuts upon the white robed form,
aud all is still again. But as lie gets
in bed aud shoves the old lady’s feet out
of the warm place, lie' mutters, “Bull is
gettin’ old, an’ serenades don’t pay divy-
deuds like they used to, but if the busi
ness keeps up, I think you will be justified
in startin’ another patch-work quilt Ma
ria. That last fellow left real cas-
sumer.” ... . /.

A Policeman Badly Hurl.
Yesterday considerable excitement was
created in the vicinity of • Cotton Avenue
aud Pluin street, by the reports of three
pistol shots fired in quick succession. It
seehis that policemah Ed Ballard liad ar
rested a negro by thq name of Kit Thomp
son or Tompkins, wlio was charged with
the larceny of twenty .dollars from Mr:
Jas. Lynch, and was conveying him to the
barracks,when the Sable thief made a des
perate dart for liberty.'; ’
Ballard, after firipg hi? three shots, gave
chase, and pressed the negro so closely
that be took refuge in his own yard, not
far from the scene of the shooting. Bal-
lard followediiund when he had cornered
the darxey, suddenly had his pistol snatch
ed from bis hand. His principal effort
from that time out was to protect himself,
for. the: negro made several attempts to
shoothim. While thus engaged, he was as
saulted by Kit’s wife and son, the former
with a,spade. ^luring the melee Ballard
received a severe blow from a brick, and
a wound in the head from the shovel, that
laid his scalp open. But fcr the timely
arrival and interference of Messrs. Alf
Truman and Zeno Self, Ballard would un
doubtedly Lave been killed. But from
first to last, he never lost sight of his man,
and even though severely wounded, did not
leave the field until Kit was lodged in the
barracks. , , , ,
Ic seems to have been a game in which
one party held clubs, and the other
spades.
Fatal Accident.
It becomes again our painful duty to
chronicle a sad accident, resulting from
the careless handling of firearms, the vic
tim this time being a youth fourteen
years of age.
It seems that yesterday afternoon, Col
quitt, the sou of Mr. J. A. Barclay, near
Ballard’s station, was preparing a revol
ver for use and had just unbridged it in
the middle to examine the cylinder, and
when in the act oi looking into the
mouth of one of the chambers, accident
ally let the hammer descend. The pistol
•vras discharged, the hall, without passing
through the barrel, striking liim over the
eye and producing * wound that caused
his death in about twenty minutes.
The father of the deceased is a gentle
man well known in this community, and
much sympathy will be felt for liim under
this sad bereavement. The deceased was
a youth of great promise, and the young
est son, we believe. Any account of the
tragedy must, at this time, necessarily be
brief, as the shooting took place near
Bullard’s station and the passengers who
came up on the Brunswick train knew
but few of the particulars.

W. Carnes, agent, $1,000 to Dyches; Jew
ett & Rogers, agents, $2,000 to Manne,
$2,000 to Rivers & Williamson and $1,000
to Dyches.
The insurance policy issued by the lat
ter firm to Manne was dated three days
since. Yesterday they received notice of
loss.
Macon is vitally .interested in the wel
fare and prosperity of Hawkinsville;
many of the heavy shipments from here
are consigned to her merchants, and the
interests of both are the same. This loss,
following- so- soon upon the other, must
prove a severe blow to her trade, but the
little city is game, and ere long will re
place .the burnt buildings.
Justice to Press and People.
Senator David Davis, on Monday, in
presenting a memorial of the newspapers
.of Chicago, in favor of repealing the duty
on paper, said:
The great metropolitan journals can
take care of themselves under almost any
condition of things, but that fact furnishes
no good reason why they should be sub
jected to imposition or wrong. The main
burden of these taxes falls heaviest on the
papers of the interior, dependent on local
circulation, and unable to compete with
those ofthe large cities. After all, it is strug
gling labor that has to carry the load of;
taxation, in whatever form it may
be imposed. The press is one of the won
ders attending the growth of our institu
tions. In the history of tho human race
there is nothing comparable to this devel
opment. It is not only tbe bulwark of
liberty, but it is tlie mighty popular in
structor, more beneficent and wide-reacli-
ing than any other agency but the Chris
tian religion, of which it is oae of the
main props. Complaint is made that this
power is sometimes abused, and that we
in public life are too often censoriously
criticised.
It will be a sad day for the republic
when criticisms upon the acts and the
speech of Senators and Representatives
shall be curbed, and a still sadder day
when those acts and that speech cannot
invite the sternest Criticism. What food
is to the body the pitas is to the mind. It
has become a daily necessity and nourish
ment, from the palace of the money king
to the cabin of the pioneer on the plains,
whose brain and muscle are the integral
parts of the empire of the West. To make
the press wholly independent and to widen
its influence, every restriction of unjust or
unwise laws ought to be removed.
The time has come,Mr. President, when
the mass of incongruities aud of huge mo
nopolies commonly called tlie tariff, should
be revised and adapted to the spirit of a
progressive age. A young people like
ours becomes restive under the shackles
of old legislation passed m the confusion
of civil strife, or under persuasion of selfish
politics. It may not be practicable at
this session to reform the revenue system;
indeed reputed action elsewhere forbids
any hope of that kind, but there should be
no difficulty in an exceptional case like
that presented in this memorial.

The Agony Over—Simmons Rejec
ted. ' .. ,
Our telegrams yesterday contained the
gratifying announcement ofthe squelching
ofthe notorious T. J. Simmon’s nomina
tion ip the Senate, by the overwhelming
vote of 10 yeas to 29 nays. Senators Hill
and'Eaton gained nothing by their advo
cacy of this man, while the former has
disgusted liis friends in Geoigia not a lit
tle by his entire course in -the affair.
Simmons was condemned by his own let
ters and utterances, which showed him to
be a Southern ingrate» false to his people,
and striving to keep alive against them
the hate of the North for that secession
record, which had been expiated by the
most diastrous war that ever desolated
any people. No wonder that even fair
minded Republican Senators could not
stomach such a creature. „ \ .
Between an apostate and one who is an
outspoken political enemy, give us the
latter In every instance. '
The feuds in our Georgia Congressional
delegation have been damaging to tho
Democratic party, and are greatly depre
cated by their constituents. Let us have
peace hereafter, gentlemen, and reserve
your fire for the common enemy in the
approaching Presidential campaign.
Before life is imperilled, deal judi
ciously with the symptoms. Remember
that the slight disorder of to-day may be
come an obstinate, incurable disease to
morrow. As a preventive medicine take
Simmon’s Liver Reeulator, which, by it3
mild and beneficial action on the liver,
stomach and spleen, is eminently calcu
lated to assist nature in her eflorts to re
establish a healthy condition. It will also
remove tlie cause of disease without any
of that prostration which follows the use
of drastic purgatives, or any of the injuri
ous effects of mineral poisons. ml6-1 w

A Sensible King.
When Lord Palmerston complimented
the late King of the Belgians on the su
perlative wisdom with winch lie had man
aged his rich and cozy little kingdom, that
astute sovereign answered tlmt his theory
and practice of statecraft were equally
simple. “The whole of my philosophy,”
said his Majesty “is not to meddle. When
a Prime Minister comes to me for ad
vice or direction, I ask him whether he
can command a Parliamentary major
ity. If he says ‘yes,’ I go about
my business, and feel no further anx
iety on the subject. If he says‘no,’lie
goes about his business, and my course is
equally straight before me.” Some time
afterward, in the troublous days of 1848,
some demagogues of the extreme party in
Belgium appear to have forgotton tlie sort
of King with whom they had to deal, and
surrounded his country home at Laeken,
to ask that he should abdicate or otherwise
cease from ruling over them. On the fol
lowing morning, therefore, as soon as he
was up, his Majesty invited several of
his most influential subjects to discuss
the question With liim, and stated his
own case with refreshing frankness. _ “I
have,” observed tbe King, “saved a little
money in you* - Service; I have an annuity
as widower oi a British Princess, and I
have a life interest in a place called Clar
emont, which is really a nice house in
England, within a pleasant ride of the
metropolis of London.' It you wish to
get rid of me I airi ready to go, and all I
ask of you is that we may separate upon
amicable terms. If you do not desire my
immediate departure I must request that
you will protect me from further molesta
tion. I object to have my rest disturbed,
especially at bed time.” Van DeWeyer
and Nothemb, who were theu among the
chief men in Belgium, undertook to guar
antee the King’s slumbers from further
disturbance, and all ended with’ serenity
and mutual content.
The duty off quinine cud not save much,
as that drag is hot as extensively used as
before the invention of ’Fabler’s Portaline,
to regulate the liver, and cure diseases
