THURSDAY MORNING. JULY C, 1871.
In NIemorlam.
We pause for a moment in the rush of Life's
Belfish straggle, to say a few words in honor of
the memory of one of the truest gentlemen and
most chivalrous men we have ever counted it
our good fortune to call friend. We mean Cap
tain Lewis H. Kenan, of Milledgeville, who
was shot and lulled about sunset, last Monday,
by John B. Strother. Of the particulars of his
death—of the circumstances immediately pre
ceding and attending it, we have no knowledge,
but wo can safely affirm, notwithstanding, that
he met his untoward fate with the serene cour
age and unblenching nerve for which be was
over distinguished, and which were not only in
herent in his own character, but also the logical
sequences of his birth and breeding.
Among all the knightly logions who fought
for tho “Lost Cause," there was not ope his
superior in personal gallantry or earnest devo
tion. We esteem it a privilege to write that
wo knew him well, and liked him better. Asso
ciation in tho same regiment during the latter
portion of the late civil war, was the basis of a
friendship as cordial and pleasant as any wo
ever enjoyed. His faults wero those of a high
spirit, a noble heart, and a soul upon whose
whiteness there rested not even the shadow of
one ignoble act or thought. His virtues were
those which are tho birthright of all such men
in every age and clime, and which it is just as
impossible to obliterate or even dim, as to de
stroy individuality itself. He was a gentleman,
always, and to all. Those words are his most
fitting eulogy and epitaph. We speak them
with all the emphasis of personal knowledge;
and with uncovered head and a sad heart, we
lay this simple tribute upon his new-made grave
and say: God rest his soul!
fiercer University.
The Board of Trustees met in Macon on the
4lh instant Present—Hon. D. E. Butler, Dr.
J. H. DeVolie, Rev. O. M Irwin, Hon. T. J,
Barney, Hon. P. B. Robinson, Hon. J. T. Clark,
Rev. Dr. Tupper, Rev. B. F. Thajp, Hon. T. J.
Lawson, Capt. J. T. Wingfield, Rev. E. W. War
ren,-Hon. M. J. Wellborn, Henry Bunn, Esq.,
David Walker, Esq., Rev. Dr. W. T. Brantley
and Dr. Landrum.
It was determined that the scholastic year of
Mercer University in Macon shall commence on
the first Wednesday in October next, and close
on tho first Wednesday in July, 1872. Also,
tho Board appointed a building committee, con
sisting of Judge Clark, Rev. Mr. Tharp and W.
J. Lawton, Esq., with Messrs. Maxwell, Pow
ers, Cabbodge and Obear, of this city, as ad
visors, to get np plans, specifications and esti
mates for the final bnilding improvements of
the University, to bo reported to the Board.
Tho Board expects to expend a large amount of
money—perhaps one hundred thousand dollars—
in buildings.
The Board, as well as others, were surprised
at this meeting on receiving the resignation of
the President, Rev. Dr. H. H. Tucker. The
kindest sentiments exist between himself and
the Board, and the parting was mutually pain
ful Mov prosperity and happiness ever attend
the gifted Doctor.
The Board elected unanimously Hon. J. L. M.
Curry, LL. D., of Richmond, Va., President of
Meroer University. Tho Dootor is a native
Georgian, and a gifted and eloquent man.
The price of tnition in the University was
fixod at $100 per annum.
lion. B. B. Hill Interviewed.
A Herald correspondent says he interviewed
Hon. B. n. Hill in tho parlor of the Kimball
House, on the 22d of last month, and reports
tho result in three columns, in the Herald of
last Friday. The main points aro—Mr. Hill
sustains the “new departure,” and looks upon
the next canvass as a final straggle for Consti
tutional liberty. He seriously doubts, however,
whether the Radicals would peaceably surren
der power, if dofeated, and thinks that Gov.
Hoffman made a capital mistake in permitting
the last election in New York to be held under
the shadow of federal bayonets. That was bnt
an experiment to see how far they conld ven
ture in controlling tho freedom of elections in
thoStatos, and tho fact that New York submit
ted to it, emboldened the Radicalsto legalize the
process in the Ku-klux bill. Mr. Hill says there
if a deep gulf between all honest Southern men
aadvthe ltadioal party, which has maintained its
power by destroying good government and turn
ing the people over to remorseless plunderers. He
rejoices in the f aot that slavery is abolished, and
recognizes the hand of Providence in it. Be
lieves the negroes are working splendidly, bnt
has his donbts whether the habit will ontlast
the existing generation of laborers. Don’t be
lieve there is any railroad ring seeking to ran
the State, and if such a scheme ever exists,
must come in the future.
A Radical Judge Rebuked.
Recently tho sappy-headed Magistrate who
dispenses justice, so-called, at Eufaula, and
who it will be remembered imprisoned Mr.
Black, the editor of the News, for refusing to
betray the confidence of a contributor to his
paper, was taken down in the following manner
by a clergyman of that city. It seems the faith
ful man of God had preached a discourse, which
reflected severely upon fraudnlons office-hold
ers, and speculation generally. Tho irate Judge,
stung to the quick by the allusions which had
boon made, publicly accosted Rev. Mr. —
the street and insolently demanded if he had
spoken in the manner above qnoted. Receiving
an affirmative reply, the brute then asked if he
took refnge under his clerical robes. To
this the undaunted Divine responded: “Sir,
when I leave my study my gown and surplice
are laid aside, and as a man I am responsible
for all my acts.”
The discomforted Judge then faintly asked
if the strictures in question were specially in
tended for him ? “They were meant for any and
all to whom they justly applied, sir, and if the
cap fits you it is not my fault—yon must wear
it”
Abashed by the determined front of this ex
cellent man, the petty tyrant subsided at once
and vamosed.
The Tennessee Railway Catastbophe oc
curred at 9:80 on the evening of the 3d inst.
at the bridge over Haspeth River, and was un
doubtedly the result of a defective and unsafe
bridge. The train was moving at moderate
speed, and the locomotive and baggage car got
over safely; bnt the bridge then gave way and
the three remaining cars fell into the river,
which at this time is about six feet deep. The
sleeping car wont aslant, the ladies’ coach turn
ing end np, the lower part striking the bottom
end of the sleeping coach. The passengers
the ladies’ car fell to the lower end and were
crushed by the upper trucks, which came down
upon them. The next car, containing fourteen
people, came down between the ladies’ car and
the abutment, grinding it to pieces. In the
ladies’ car every seat was occupied. Fourteen
persons were killed and twenty-three wounded.
A list will be seen in the telegrams.
Bousn pob the Speixgs.—The New Orleans
Picayune of Sunday, says that the Saturday
evening train on the New Orleans and Mobile
Railroad, comprised twelve passenger coaches
and two Pullman palace cars, well filled with
persons bonnd for Summer resorts.
Tho Cotton Si Hint Ion.
The visible supply of cotton last Friday night
was 1,861,986 bales, againBt 1,583,153 at the
same date last year—showing a net increase of
278,838 bales. One week ago, at the same date,
the increase wa3 373,404 bale9, and this shows
gun in consumption for the week amounting
94,566 bales. At this rate the excess will be
gone in the course of three weeks.
In reference to the growing crop the Chroni
cle reports three days’ rain during the past week
from New Orleans eastward to the Atlantic.
The mercury averaged at Mobile 85, Montgom
ery 87, Oolambns 84, Macon 83, and Charleston
83. At Galveston it was 89, and the crop re
ports from that quarter continue favorable.
Memphis sends also favorable reports both from
upland and bottom land cotton. The average
temperature there was 85.
In relation to the general prospects of the
cotton crop, the Chronicle remarks that it is
now certain that the cotton acreage is ten per
cent, less than last year—that the weather has
been generally unfavorable to the yonng crop,
and, in the Atlantic States, all cotton is small,
and three weeks behind last year. The excess
of wet is not only unfavorable to the growth of
the plant, but endangers it from the cotton
worm, and from mildow and shedding. Upon
these facts the Chronicle concludes that the
crop must, in any event, be considerably less
than the crop of last year, bnt the extent of the
decrease most depend upon the surroundings
daring the month of July. With favorable
weather and a late antnmn, the yield may be
larger than the most sanguine planter dares hope
for now. The weather reports will be watched
with increasing interest during the current
month.
According to a statement from Mr. J. M.
Boardman published in our last number, the
mean temperature of Macon daring the month
of Juno just expired was, at 8 o’clock a. m , 80;
p. m., 88 4-10; and at 6 p. is., 86 3-10. The
amount of rain during the month was five and
ninety-one hundredths inches; and there were
thirteen days in the month in which rain fell in
quantities varying from four-hundreths to one
and eighty-fonr hnndreths inches. The aggre
gate rainfall from, l*f January to 1 *t July of
the current year was thirty-eight and fifty-six
hundredths inches.
To comprehend the significance of these
figures, let us reileot that we have had, accord
ing to this statement, in six months of 1871,
within seven and a half inches of a. fall ordinary
supply of rain for a whole year. A full aver
age supply for this latitude would be forty-six
inches. According to Professor Barnwell, of
the University of Georgia, tho rain fall for the
four seasons beginning with Autumn, 1868, and
ending with the Snmmer, 1869, was forty-six
inches and 735 one-thousandths. For the year
commencing with Antnmn, 1869, and ending
Summer, 1870, it was forty-five inches and 394
one thousandths.
The magnitude of the exoess of rain, as
shown by this statement, throws a great deal of
light on the existing cotton situation. Cotton
is a dry weather plant. Compared with corn,
it requires bnt little rain, and the conditions of
nice culture, os well as health, depend, to a
great extent, on a large allowance of dry
weather. In the absence of all other facts, this
monstrous excess of rain must, therefore, estab
lish a very unfavorable condition of the crop.
We donbt whether any possible meorological
change can redeem this crop so as to mako it
an average one, and we hold that the crop pro
duced in 1870 was fifteen to twenty per cent,
above average. ■ If the remainder of the year
should be characterised by a dryness corres
ponding with the excessive wet of the first half
of tho year, that wonld be, for a time at least,
almost or quite as injurious to the crop os the
excessive moisture. The plant is now too sappy
to meet a violent change without disaster. But
if we accept this moderate hypothesis—that
there is ten per oent. less acreage and that tho
last crop wae fifteen per cent, above average—
that would show a three million bale crop for
the current year; which we have no idea will
shown by facts.
, Down the Road.
We spent the festive Fourth, instant, in a run
down tho Southwestern Railroad as far as Woot
en’s station, Lee county, on the Albany branch of
that road. Wo saw more com on that line of
travel than ever before in onr experience, and
as a general thing, it looked well, and much
cleaner than heretofore reported. Cotton also
looked fresh and lively, though small in size,
and where it had the appearance of having been
worked with due diligence, it was comparatively
free from grass. It is hardly possibly that
there is a real clean crop of com or cotton in
all Southwestern Georgia, as a thorough farmer
understands that word, so we use the adverb.
At any rate moBt of the fields were much cleaner
than we expected to see them. For the past
ten days there has been a stubborn fight be
tween muscle and grass, and muscle has told
most gratifyingly.
A ride of four or five miles in the country
from the station, revealed, on an average, abont
the same condition of matters as along the
road, though on one or two large plantations
there were signs that the contest still hung in
the balance, and that one or two more rains
might turn it against muscle. It has been an
exceptionally hard year on planters in this re
spect, and the condition of the crops, at present
writing,proves that the negroeshave worked with
a will, and that the planters themselves here
done their level best. There was considerable
complaint, however, of sickness among the la-
laborers and this was hindering farming busi
ness somewhat, in some neighborhoods. The
diseases are not violent and readily yield to
medical treatment, bnt still a day, or two days
absence from the ranks at this crisis must be
seriously felt. We saw no cotton that had been
given over as a hopeless job on onr ronte, though
we heard of a large planter in an adjoining
county who had turned out 250 or 300 acres to
grass.
We found the Southwestern Road in good order,
making good time, with pleasant oar accom
modation and plenty of ice water, sure enough,
not water that seemed as if it had merely been
introduced to a very small chunk of that mate
rial. The train-captains, too, are among the
most oonrteous, efficient and popular of that
class, anywhere. And notably among them we
take pleasure in naming Mr. W. F. Gesslin, to
whose conrtesy we are especially in debt His
loan of a huge shawl that seemed just made for
a pillow, saved the deponent a stiff neck and
serious ruffling of his usual serene temper next
morning, to say nothing of the series of unciv
ilized, unchristian visions that usually haunt
the slumbers of the party who is green enough
to try and sleep on a railway without some such
essential We hop# Mr. Gesslin will want
pillow, somo day, as badly as we did Tuesday
night, and that he may get it in as welcome
almpe—and if he has a weakness that way, from
the “prettiest girl in Georgia,” wherever and
whoever she may be.
The Reduced Acbeage in Cotton.—Readers
who took tho pains to figure over the crop esti
mates of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
issued on the 1st instant, and published in onr
paper of the 3d, will see that they make the re
duction in Mississippi, Louisiana, Western and
Middle Georgia, Western Tennessee, Arkansas
and Northeastern Texas, a net average of
per oent., (or eight to ten per cent, more than
the Agricultural Bureau,) with a more than cor
responding increase of oorn.

we will not say what that remark might im
ply—and proceeds to say that one of the moBt
revolting sights in the world, is “a pile of these

Atlanta, is en ronte for onr city, to take work
on the North and South Railroad. The force,
numbering over 300, has been engaged on the
Brunswick ■ & Albany road, but work having
been suspended there, the entire body will be

that the largest contractors in Georgia are in

Campbell^Wallace.—This gentleman arrived
in our city last evening. He oame upon the so-
lioitation of a large number of our citizens, who
desire him to be made President of the Georgia
Western Railroad. We learn that he says he
will build the road without delay if chosen its
President; that he will at once remove his fam
ily to Atlanta, and put forth his whole might,
earnestly, zealously and unfalteringly, till the
cars are running from one end of the road to
the other.
Of the murder of a white man named Low,
and the wounding of two other white men and
two white women, at tho house of Mr. Angus
Red, on Beach Island, in South Carolina, 12
miles from Augusta by a band of negro Ku-klox,
which was reported by telegraph Sunday morn,
ing, the Chronicle and Sentinel of Tuesday
reports the following particulars:
At a late hour oh last Saturday afternoon a
large band of armed negro men were seen ap
proaching the house occupied by Mr. Red. They
were within a few feet of the front door, be
fore they were discovered. The ladies in the
house gave a scream of terror as if apprehen
sive of the bloody intentions of the black fiends,
Mr. Thomas A. Low, a neighbor, who was in
the room, and lying down near the front door,
heard the warning signal, and attempted to rise.
As he was in the act of nsing the
NEGBOES FIRED A VOLLEY
at him, killing him instantly. The muskets,
with which the colored Kn-klnx were armed,
were loaded with bnckshot and small balls, and
the missiles were sent in every direction. Be
sides killing Mr. Low, they wounded Mr. Red
in the shoulder, wounded his wife—Mrs. M. A.
L. Red—in the neck, and his mother, Mrs. S.
E. Red, in the face. The negroes then entered
the house, as though it was a fortress taken at
the point of the bayonet. That they at first
intended killing Mr. Red, there can be no doubt,
but when they found him wounded, they con
tented themselves with disarming him, threat
ening him with instant death if he did not give
up his pistol. After they had secured this, they
left the premises without bestowing any atten
tion upon either the dead or the wounded. They
returned to the plantation of Mr. Paul F. Ham
mond, from whenoe they bad come, and
remaining there armed, set the law and its
officers at defiance. Mr. Low was foond

RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
—literally riddled. The outlaws had fired the
voile#when they were within a very short dis
tance of him, nnd most of the balls had taken
effect in his arms and body. The surgeon who
exsmined the wounds at the Coroners’s inquest,
held the next morning, found more than fifty
balls in his persons, and of this number no less
than seven had pierced the poor man’s heart.
The stomaoh,- and other portions of tho body,
were frightfully mutillated and mangled by the
shot. The Coroner’s jury returned a verdict in
accordance with the facts of the case, and the
nearest magistrate was applied to and a warrant
issued by him for the arrest of the murderers.
Bnt the negroes had no idea of being arrested,
and, as we have said before,
mn SET THE LAW AT DEFIANCE.
Learning they had not fled, bnt still remained
at their homes, a depnty sheriff went to Mr.
Hammond’s plantation on Sunday morning for
the purpose of arresting them. The negroes
were found there still armed, and while they
offered no violence to the officers, they refused
to be arrested, and said they wonld hold their
position to the last. Seeing that they meant to
keep their word, and that a conflict with them
wonld be useless, the officer retired. On yes
terday morning he paid them another visit.
They still declined to be arrested, but said that
they would go to Aiken on Tuesday and stand
a trial Several of the
RINGLEADERS ESCAPED,
and carried their guns with them. They are all
at large, and will desperately resist any attempt
at capture. One of them, however, we are glad
to say, has been bagged, and is now in the jail
of Augusta. ■

Fboh Africa.—We see from the African Re
pository for July that the leaders of two com
panien, who sailed for Liberia in the Golconda,
in 1869, make a very favorable report of the
condition of their companies. Both had lost
but one man, and were highly pleased with the
situation.
