GEORGIA PRESS. The arrival of Captain Paul Boyton, the great swimmer, in Augusta, has set Bill Moore yelling all over the city, the refrain, “He is in Augusta. He will swim In Augusta. He will perform in the rag ing canal—next week.” The editor of the Ishmadite has an ap preciative heart as well as a delicate taste for the beautiful. Hear him: Two of our beautiful young ladies were engaged last week in getting up contribu tions in money, to send to the sufferers in Ireland. It was one of those thonghtful and beautiful acts whicn so well adorn the character of woman. It is the crown ing glory of her being that her car is ever open to the cry of distress. Tiie Savannah News, of the 25th, says: On the 13tli instant, Isaiah Withers, a colored man, died at a house near Mon- teith station, on the Savannah and Charleston railroad, under suspicious cir cumstances, he having stated that he had been poisoned by a negro mau, whose name he did not know. The stomach of the deceased was removed by Coroner Slieflall and brought to the city for the purpose of being subjected to a chemical analysis. Dr. Slieflall called upon Dr. J. S. Morel to assist him in the examination, which was conducted in the most thor ough manner and was finished yesterday. We are unable at present to state the re sult of their labors. A new route from Jacksonville, Flor ida, to Savannah is among the latest de velopments in transportation circles. It consists of the inside route from Savannah by steamer to Femandina, and thence by rail, thirty miles, to Jacksonville, and is to be known as he “Sea Island Route.” It will be one of the most pleasant routes 'to the “Flowery Land.” If the medical colleges continue to in crease in number and each institution cor inucs to force upon the public the usi 1 number of “adjusters of the ills to which ilesli is heir,” what will become of the people? The proportion ot the people to the doctors is becoming fearfully small and yet in the face of all these facts, on Wednesday last at Savannah, Messrs. A B. George, Jacob Welchselbaum and R, S. Sanders stepped up and claimed sheepskin at the hands of the Savannah medical college. We tender our congrat ulations to the successful young gentle 1 men. But oh, what is to become of the people? The ladies of Sandersville will erect a cenotaph in the cemetery whereon floral offerings will be placed in memory of the Comederate dead buried elsewhere, commendable enterprise. Sandersville has a new fledgling vrldch she has baptised as “Sandersville Amateur Minstrel Company.” The sound of their coming will soon be heard in the land. Savannah News: Some time since a valuable cow was stolen from the place of Colonel Charles H.Oimstead, at Beaulieu, and inquiries have been quietly prosecut ed in reference to her disappearance. Re cently it was discovered that the cow was in possession of a Mr. Hudson, who stated that he purchased her from a negro named Edward Brown. Upon this information Colonel Olmstead yesterday appeared be- fqj-e Magistrate Russell and had a warrant issued against Brown, who was arrested and required to give bond in the sum of one thousand dollars for his appearance at court. Brown states he purchased the cow from another negro, but this remains to be proven. There is to be a Republican mass meeting in Savannah on next Tuesday night, “to look after the entire interest of the black man and better his condition, and for the welfare of his children as far as possible.” This call is made by the executive committee of Chatham county. Georgia is the first State in the South in point of manufactures. Still there is room for improvement. Every possible encouragement short of class legislation, should be given to industrial enterprises lu the State. The people of the South, as far as possible, should do tlieir trading in the South, rather than in other sections of the country. We help ourselves by help ing each other. The Sparta Ishmadite says: Fanning operations have been considerably delay ed by the excessive rains of this month. Very little corn has been planted. April will be well advanced before that crop is off the hands of the farmers. It is proba ble that some of the bottom lands will not be in order for planting before May. There are some indications of rust in wheat—whether of a serious character or not, we are unable to say. George LTNcn, a son of Thomas Lynch, of Augusta, was drowned on last Wednesday, at Reed’s mill, fifteen miles from the city. Hawkinsvir.r.E Dispatch: On Tues day afternoon, the 23d, a colored woman, employed as cook for the family of Mr. C. H. King, oi this place, was instructed to go down and get a can of kerosene oil. It seems that there was a small quantity of oil in the can, which the woman deci ded to pour in the stove. There was a fire in the stove, and when the oil was poured upon it it caused the can to ex plode, and soon the woman was envel oped in flames. She ran from the house across the yard, and before assistance could reach her, all the garments she had on were burned from her body. She was horribly burned, and it is thought her in juries will prove fatal. The following chapter of accidents and death we clip from the Jcsup Senlind: Joe White and John Jackson, two ne groes, had a light at Doctortown on Mon day. White cut Jackson on the right aria with a hatchet, inflicting a terrible wound. The flesh was laid open to the bon Monday afternoon a colored man named Fenton Green was stabbed in the neck by G. R. Reddish, near S. II. Mor gan’s stoic, aboufa mile from Jesup. We did not learn the orig’n of the trouble, and do not know whether Reddish has Deen arrest ed. The wounded man Is se riously hurt. At DoCtono.vo, on Monday, Thomas FronkJin, colored, an employee at Major Davendoit’s saw mill, managed to get tlircc fingou caught in (lie cogs of the tim ber carriage. One finger was mashed off am! the others severely injured. He came to Jcsup for treatment, bringing with him the amputated finger. William Merritt, a young man who Jived at Sunvncy, Georgia, was found dead in Ills bed Sunday morning last. Af ter earing a hearty supper Saturday night and conversing a while with the inmates of the house, he retired to bed in apparent good health. On being called to break fast next morning and making no re sponse, a gentleman named Williams en tered the room and iound him lying in bed face downward. He turned him over and found that life was extinct. The citizens of Cochran arc determin ed to have a brass band. L‘kc Congress man Persons, they like brass bands, and they think of buying one. They held a festival the other night and were success ful in obtaining money to meet tlieir im mediate wants.

' am what we can hear,’ the Wheat crop of tomato sets. When the late cold snap set in, knowing the tomato to be a very tender plant, be obtained a lot of sinal. cans, such as contain oysters, lobsters, peaches, etc., on the shelves of grocery stores, and placed them over the plants to save them from the freezing wind. He lacked just one can of having a sufficient number for all the plants, but about this one remaining plant he wrapped a sheet of paper and fastened it to its place. Al ter the cold was over, the cans were re moved, and every plant under them was found to have been killed, bat when the plant protected by the sheet of paper was exposed it stood straight, fresh anil green, not having been injured in the least. This experience is worth treasuring !_ memory by our gardeners. Irwinton* Appeal: Rust is reported in almost ah the small grain. Some oats of the rust proof variety, that were sown early in the fall, are now, it is said, red with it. Later sown oats are not aft’ected with it. The Albany News says: The farmers of this section, generally speaking, have purchased enormous quantities of com mercial manures, and have about finished hauling it out. Most of the com planted is now up, and many have plowed it over the first time. Cotton planting is now going on, and the area planted is reported larger than usual. Should a good price be paid for cotton next fall, all will be well; but if the price goes down—look out for trouble. Our planters are all vigor ously at work. Labor is orderly and sys tematic, and the present outlook is not discouraging. Albany News: As Mr. Butler, mer chant of Ty Ty, on the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, attempted to leave the train while in rapid motion at Brookfield, be was tlirown violently to the grouni and narrowly escaped death, a wheel of the rear coach striking him on the slioul der and ditching him. The Albany Neics says: The season of 1880 promises to be one of special interest and profit to wool-growers; and those who have been fortunate enough to make their investments in sheep, rather than stocks and bonds, are masters of the situ ation. The present price of the product in the Albany market averages 40 cents. At this price it is estimated that growers will realize near fifty per cent, on their invest ments, where sheep have been managed economically and judiciously. The coun ties of Worth, Colquitt, Mitchel, Baker, Calhoun, Berrien and Irwin, which are in easy reach of Albany, promises heavy supplies this year. The mild winter has been especially propitious for their sheep, and Albany should now prepare herself for liberal prices, complete facilities and general activity in the trade. There is no reason why Albany should not handle the wool productions in eight or ten neighbor ing counties. It should constitute s prominent feature of our city’s commerce. Colonel Jas. G. Cain, a prominent lawyer of Louisville, has been appointed Judge of the county court of Jefferson county, in place of Judge Denny, deceas ed. Three negroes were convicted as the first fruits of his labors. A new Jewish synagogue was recently dedicated in Thomasville with imposing ceremonies. Rabbi Brown officiated. Thomasville is to have a colored brass band. From their color, it is supposed that the band will be more enduring than white ones. The recent entertainment of the Thom- asville Library Association netted some thing over $100. An old woman’on the place of Mr. Thom as Fuller, near Geneva, died last week at the advanced age of 104 years. The Appeal says that on Monday last Mr. Micajah Thompson, a farmer, about seventy-four years old, died very sudden ly while plowing in a field near his home, about two miles from Irwinton. He ate a hearty breakfast before going to work that morning, and not only seemed in perfect health then, but had not had a sick day in several years. A writer in the Irwinton Appeal says that Ben Holder, of Toombsboro, caught two negro girls who had appropriated some of his wife’s.clothing, and that lie settled with them after a fashion that is more commendable than legal. They both remain in his employ. Declined.—Theeffusionstyled“Loved and Lost” is respectfully declined, on the ground that it is deficient in merit.—Sum ter Bepublican. Oh, how could you be so cruel? And this, the first crop of spring poetry. A rose has blushed only to be unseen. The divine afllatus has been crushed out of some heart forever. And for such a cause —“deficient in merit.” What do editors know about merit in spring poetry? On Tuesday, the 23rd, while J. G. Mil ler and Peter Town were at work on the new residence of Mr. Knox, in Rome, the scaffolding upon wliich they were stand ing gave way, both men falling. Town fortunately escaped injury, hut Miller fell the distance of sixteen feet, striking on his head, part of the scaffolding also fall ing upon him. His injuries are internal, and thought to he fatal. Mil J. D. Myrick, near Gordon, has a field containing seven acres, and the wheat'in it is three feet high. Tns editor of the Irwinton Appeal is in hopes that the next grand Jury ol Wil kinson county will recommend the es tablishment of a'county court, in accord ance with a law passed by the last Leg islature. His reasons are good. Mr. Henry Jones, late of the North Georgia Argus, has accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Augusta Evening News. He is a journalist of marked abil ity, and has tact as well as talent in the editorial field. We welcome him back to the tripod, and congratulate the proprie tors on securing his services. In the Geneva department of theTal- botton Standard, we find the followiag in reference to a matter which has caused considerable comment: The grand topic of conversation on the streets as well as by our citizens as those visiting our town,-is discussing the merits of the enonnus verdict rendered by thejn- ry during our late ; court, iu the case pT W. C. Singleton vs. the Southwestern railroad company, for damages. And va rious are the opinions of those who heard the evidence iu the case. Some think he ought to have sued for and obtained at least $50,000; while others think he ought not to have recovered a cent, as he was the cause of his own misfortune. Others think a moderate or reasonable amount would have been better for Single ton and the company, as well as the pub lic generally, and so think we, after pay ing close attention to the evidence and the trial. No jury would ever have thought of rendering such a verdict against an individual under the same proof. Railroad companies are corpora tions, and have no souls, but nevertheless, they are entitled to the same rights in our courthouses that individuals are. Though it is hard to induce the public to see it in that light. But jurors take the same oaths iu these cases that they do in cases between individuals. We think such verdicts under the circumstances are simply ridiculous and ought to be set aside at once, because they are Calculated to do harm Instead of good to the public.

The Butler Herald furnishes the fol lowing items: Mr. C. A. J. Pope sent to our offico last week the finest stalk of wheat we have seen or heard of this season, the stalk be ing about waist high and almost in ftill bloom, while the stalk presented a large and vigorous appearance. The wheat crops generally through the county so far look promising indeed, especially where the land has been well fertilized. It is thought, or rather feared, by many who are competent to judge that the fruit crop iu this section will be far less in quantity than that of last year; if so, what is to become of some who depend almost entirely upon the result of the crop? The Rome Courier is both jolly and sentimental over the recent freshet: High water seems to have an anti-temper ance effect. The more water in Rome the less of it there is drunk. Viewed in the “abstract” the scene from the top of .Myrtle Hill yesterday was beautiful. Far away up the Oostanaula could be seen the wide stretch of WAters where the stream had overflowed the low bottoms.

He held large crowds around him during his stay in our village. Lumpkin Independent has these two items: Teach trees are all in full bloom and" the prospect for a good crop is realy flattering. Those who have anticipated a lailure may yet be disappointed, Mr. W. A. Long shows os a bunch of wheat from his patch which was covered with rust. He reports that the wheat generally throughout the county is in the same condition and the prospect fora good crop is gloomy. Cartersville Free Press Major Smith returned safely from his trip to Hawkinsville, where he delivered his lecture on “Society.” He speaks glowingly of his reception iuthe wire- grass region. After he gets the grime of travel removed from his pencil we hope he will write up “nabor Freeman’s” snake story. Madison Madisonian: Grubb says that Governor Colquitt is not running much down that way. Governor Col quitt is not in the habit of nmning from his enemies, albeit they are fed on Inde pendent Grubb. It has been discovered that the climate of California and Northern Georgia and Alabama is just suited to tho cultivation of the cinchona tree, from which quinine is made, and it is proposed to introduce the cultivation of these trees into this country so as to save the expense it incurs eveiy year in sending to South America for Peruvian bark. This is what the Americas Reptiblican calls mean: We learn that on Thursday night last, some unprincipled scoundrel slipped up to the stable of James Dodson, Esq., of Smithvllle, and shot a fine mule in the head. This is one ol the meanest acts that we have been called upon to chronicle, and we hope the inhuman wretch who perpetrated the deed may be caught and severely punished. -Axilany Adteriiser: Since it has been found out by our planting friends that their crops were not injured by the recent “cold snap,” a beaming face and pleasant smile marks the “gentleman from the country.” The low flat lands below Newton in Baker county and on the Flint, are re ported to be entirely covered with water, and we are glad to learn that hut a small amount of the land alluded to has been planted. From the Marietta Journal we clip the following sad intelligence: A gentleman from Pickens county, Ga., brings the information of the suicide of Mrs. Serena Lindsey, which occurred in that county on last Monday, 22d instant. She was engaged on that day in her usual domestic duties,as cheerful as usual,appa rently with no disturbing troubles to in cite rashness. Her two children had left the house for out door work,and were ab sent for about one hour, and on returning to the room usually occupied by then- mother, was horrified to see her lifeless form dangling by the neck to a rope, fas tened to a joist overhead. Our community was shocked last Mon day evening at the sad intelligence of the death of Henry M. Wilson, son of Cap tain J. M. Wilson, of this place. It seems that quite a number of young men had agreed to spend the day fishing and duck hunting, and for that puiposc had repaired to Mr. Barnes’ mill pond, two miles Irom town. Henry was seated on one side of the pond fishing, and some wild ducks came in sight, and Henry’s attention was called to the same. His gun was leaning against a tree, and bh reached and caught it by the muzzle and pulled it towards him, and attempted to get up on his feet at the same time. This action caused him to push the gun from him, and as he lulled it forward again, the hammer came n contact with a bush, the gun fired, and the load of duck shot entered the pit of his stomach, making a hole as large as a silver dollar. The Savannah Neics says that the heavy rains above Augusta and the freshet following combined with the strong north easterly winds upon the big spring tides, gave prospects of a general overflow, At one time early in the morning the prospects were that Hutchinson’s Isand would be seriously injured by an over flow, but, fortunately, these apprehensions were not realized. During the morning Mr. C. F. Stubbs, one of the lessees of the island, went across to ascertain the con dition of affairs, and, we are informed, found all the damson Back river right and in good order. In anticipation of the high tides, together with tho freshet in the Savannah river, he had everytMng put in thorough order a fetv days since. It is expected that the tide this morning will be very high, hut unless tho easterly winds prevail for several days no serious results, so far as wo can learn, are antici pated. . • ; The Henry County Weekly says: It becomes our painful duty to chronicle tie death of Mr. Isaac Jenks, an old citizen of Henry county, which occurred on Wednes day mcming last, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. This old man’s life was a remarkable one in some respects. He never took a dose of medicine in his life, nor had a spell of sickness until his last illness. His mental faculties remained unimpaired up to the day of his death. The Advertiser has this good news for Brunswick: For some months past, efforts have been made to have a United States Marine Hospital located in or near our harbor. It was thought for a long while that the north point of Jekyl would be chosen by the authorities, but we understand Black- beard Island has been chosen instead. So all vessels from infected ports will have to touch there, be inspected, famigated. etc., before coming to this port.

The Darien Gazette of tho 2(1th says: PThe receipts of timber the past week have been very light owing, no doubt, in a great measure to the high stage of wafer.

The latest ingenious—in- sory—are the ones who are expected to deed horrible—musical invention he has brought to the front is the “squedunk.” To those acquainted with the symphonies produced by that instrument thus eupho niously termed, it may be said that a “squedunk” is made by putting a string through the bolton of a tin can or cup and tying it on the inside to a nail or piece of wire so as to preveit the cord from com ing out. By a free use of rosin upon the string, it being applied with one hand while the other is holding the can or cup, a noise pleasant to the ear of the average boy is produced, but wliich some people say is hideous. A number of enterprising juveniles have already become accomplish ed in the use of that novel lyre—which may be ranked among the intolerable modern nuisances, to abate which the un dergrowth of the country might be utilized to advantage.

The principal reason I have for asserting that Hayes will sign the bill is that in his veto messages of the extra session ho repeated time and again that he would find no objection to the ap proval of a bill that would equitably amend the election laws, but could not agree to the nullification or repeal. The leading proposition is to amend fairly the election laws. There is no nullification or repeal. The money is provided fo: their enforcement, and the laws as amend ed remain on the statute books.

Augusta Evening News: A gentleman known as John Wommack, of Doraville, DeKalb county, met with a most violent death on last Tuesday. He was coming from the field, riding sidewise on the mule which he bad been plowing; it be came frightened, threw him aud ran, dragging him about a quarter of a mile, head downward, and kicking him con stantly. He was terribly bruised and in jured internally, and died in a few hours. He leaves a wife and one child and many friends to mourn his untimely death. A correspondent of the Augnsta New* writing from Jefferson county, sayj: The impression prevails generally that the oat crop has rust. 1 have examined carefully and find that such is not true so far as relates to the rust proof variety. The bottom leaves have had a yellow tinge resembling ru3t (which has nearly disappeared) hut it is not rust. \Ve may therefore expect a fine oat crop from the rust proof variety sown during the fall months—September and October. Such, however is not the case with wheat. That has rust beyond all doubt.

Besolved, That the unparelltled hospi tality of the citizens of Cincinnati, the courtesies of the builders and managers of the Southern Railway, the officers and members of the Commercial Exchange, Board of Trade and Transportation, and managers and committees of the reception and the banquet at Music Hall, iiavc placed us under pleasing obligations of grateful remembrance, and that to the en tire people of the Queen City of the West we surrender at discretion, ami with’ hearts fall flowing with lofty appreciation J AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. edited by OENKnAi, Wm.
