Telegraph & Messenger 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. THE UEORUIA PRKMtf. Governor Bullock has returned to Atlanta from his usual summer junketing among the bulls and bears of Wall street. Hope he went slow on the bond schedule. Eatonton is moralizing over a snake that crawled into a house and was found coiled np on the family Bible. But the woe of the story that, distrusting his professions, they killed him. The editor of the Eatonton Press and Mes senger calls paper collars “a bitter pill”—which 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 cast off abominations lying aronnd a man’s door. That’s onr ticket too. Mr. Edmund Reid’s barn and stable, at Ea tonton, were burned last Saturday night " In cendiary, and loss several hundred dollars. Putnam county crops are suffering for rain— none in ten days. Dr. Wills’ oration on the life and character of the late Judge Nisbet has been postponed, “on account of nnfortnnate delays in the transmis sion of varions items of information from the friends of the deceased,” says the Atlanta Era, of Tuesday. Mr. Horace Gillum, for thirty-one years a citizen of Savannah, died Monday morning. Mr. Jas. Poltevent, well known in Columbus, died in Girard last Saturday, aged ninety-two years. More than twenty years ago be Request ed Rev. Thos. B. Slade, of Columbns, to preach his funeral, which was done on Sunday morn ing. Says the Enquirer, of Tuesday: Nobth & South Railroad.—We are reliably informed that the entire convict force of the enterprising firm of Grant, Alexander & Co., of 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 brought here. In this connection we will say that the largest contractors in Georgia are in oar city looking to the letting of onr new road. A fragrant ebony flower, named George Rose, was nipped in the bud by a pistol shot, last Sunday, while he, with several others of like perfume, was endeavoring to Kn-klnx a party of white boys down at Savannah. He will Klnx no more. Twenty eight whites and fifty-two blacks of the salamander persuasion, rushed into matri mony daring the month of Jane, in Savannah. Letters for Revs. H. K. Rees, Maoon, and W. C. Wilkes Spalding, Ga., are held for postage in the Savannah office. Daniel Fleck, who was ran over by strain on tho Macon and Western Road, near Atlanta, Saturday night, died Monday morning. The Southern Recorder reports several serf, ous cases of fever in that section. The Recorder also reports a grand pitohed battle between the Good Templars and ben- zinists of Putnam county, resulting in a disas trous defeat to the latter. Up to data 600 pris oners have been captured by the G. T’s. Corn and cotton in Baldwin county have taken a new departure, and are promising fa vorable results. A “non explosive" kerosene lamp Rtampeded the Baptist congregation of Milledgeville last Sunday evening. Contrary to the nsnal custom, however, it didn't go off, and so the undertaker missed a job. Captain Edward Camfield, since 1818 a highly respected citizen of Angnsta, died last Sunday morning. We find the following paragraph in the At lanta Snn, of Tuesday: 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 reat Southern Grain and Provision Emprinm —. > - —OF — SMALL * GAMBLE, 61 Third Street, Macon, Ga., AND BUY YOUR COEN, BACON A.3STD FL.OTTE * At the lowest market price, either for cash, or on time?

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. ■ A New Motob.—Dr. Lamm, of Now Orleans, is driving street cars by a new metor in the shape of liquid ammonia, which a heat of degrees Fahrenheit converts into vapor which is applied like steam to an engine, and after wards condensed by being passed into cold water.
