Telegraph & Messenger. FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 7, 1871. Alumni Meeting This Attebnoon.—We are asked to state that there will be a meeting of the Alumni of the University of Georgia resi dent in this city and county, this afternoon at five o’clock, at the office of Messrs. Nisbets <fc Jackson, and to earnestly urge that there be n foil attendance. Macon, July C, 1871. Editor* Telegraph and Messenger: I notice in the Telegraph of to-day your remarks under the caption of “The Cotton Situation,” in re gard to the amount of rain reported by myself for the month of June, and for the six months end ing June 30, which is all correct; but you go on to state that we are to expect but seven and a half inches more rain for the balance of the year—according to a statement of Prof. Barn well of the fall of rain at Athens during twelve months—a part of 1868 and 1869. If you will refer to my report for the month of May in your paper of June 2d, you will find that Prof. Barn well predicts for Macon .16 inches of rain per annum, which I have no doubt we will get, and this will allow us to anticipate 17 and 44-100 inches in the six months to come. Yet oven thin amount will be but a small supply, less than three inches per month, and less than half wo have already received. I wish also to correct an error in the report of the mean heat for 6 o’clock, as published by your yesterday, it should have bee n 82 3-10 degrees instead of 8G 3-10, making the total at 8 o’clock a. h. 80 degrees; at 2 o’clock p. m, 83 4-10, and at 6 p. m. 82 3-10. Very respectfully, J. M. Boabdman. Remarks.—If Mr. Boardman will refer to our article again, he will look in vain for any such statement as “that wo aro to expect but seven and a half inches of rain for the remainder of the year,” and wo] were very unfortunate indeed to havo conveyed any such idea to any mind. The solo use wo intended to make of the sur prising fact, (for which we are indebted to him) that thirty-eight inches of rain havo fallen in Macon since the 1st of January last, when only about forty-six inches aro ordinarily due for the entire year, was to infer the bad condition of the ootton crop from such an abnormal condi tion of the weather. But while upon the subject, Mr. B. will permit us to doubt the correctness of Prof. Barnwell’s idea that fifty-six inches of rain are due the lat itude of Macon. It seems incredible that there should a difference of ten inches of rain-fall between the latitude of Athens and that of Ma con, which is but little more than a degree fur ther South. Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute, when he was here in 1869, remarked in our hearing, that the amount of rain-fall in Macon would be found to vary no great deal from forty-six inches in the year. Ona Georgia Gibes Abboad.—Wo published, a fow days ago, flattering notices of the schol arly attainments and deportment of several young ladies from our city and State who are pursuing their studies in Staunton, Va. It again gives us pleasure to glean from a Morristown (Penn.) paper that at the late commencement of Oakland Seminary, Mibs Ellen Jones, of Lib erty county, Ga., won the gold medal and the highest honors of her class. Her valedictory was highly applauded. Two grand sensations fill the Northern papers of the 3d: One is the arrest in Derby, Conn., of a woman poisoner, Mrs. Nelson H. Sherman by name, who has successively murdered three husbands and eight children. The second is the murder of one Oliver S. Halstead in New ark, whe was shot in the house of his paramour, by a jealous rival. Halstead was from one of the most respectable families in Now Jersey, the son of a Chief Justice of that State—a man of f>3, with a wife and family. A Blow atthe Trades-Unions.—The Supremo Court of Massachusetts have just made a notable decision in a suit instituted by a stone-cutter to recover a certain sum of money—$500—levied as a fine by the Trade Union to which he be longed, for cutting stone in a manner contrary to the rules of the Union. The Court ruled that the demand was illegal, and that a combination and threat to prevent workmen from being em ployed was an illegal conspiracy. The Graphic.—Brown & Co. have received the issue of this incomparable English illus trated serial for the week ending June 17th. It is a splendid number, both as to pictures and reading matter. We have so often spoken hearty words of praiso concerning the Graphio that further encomium seems superfluous. We consider it as far ahead of anything published in this oountry as it is possible fo* words to express. We invite special attention to the faot that our talented young townsman, Mr. J. L. Har deman, who recently graduated with honorable “cation at the University of Georgia, will de liver the address to-night, before the Philoma- thean Society of Wesleyan Female College. His reputation as an orator, and the interest of the occasion, we trust will bring out a large audience. “Timothy”—Yrattville, Ga.—Your com munication, we regret to say, is too long for our columns in their present condition. We must decline, except in very exceptional cases, to publish any long communications while as much pressed for space as wo are just now. We would respectfully suggest, also, that the subject mat ter of your communication is more suitable for iho columns of a religious, than a secular paper. Bowen’s Pardon.—The New York Sun, of Monday, soys Charles Ridgeway arrived at hong Branch on Saturday with a blank pardon for the bigamist, Congressman Bowen. He spent an hour with the President, and went away with a pardon. As the pardon had not been seen in Washington up to Monday night, Ridgeway must have dopt it accidentally some where on the road. The Mils in the Coooanct.—A World Wash ington correspondent, writing about the irrecon cilable quarrel between Commissioner Pleas anton and Secretary Bontwell, says the main difficulty is that Pleasanton wants to use the whole “moral force” of the Treasury Depart ment to secure Grant’s renomination, and Bout- w ell is criminally indifferent to the use of it in that direction. Yellow Fever is said by the telegrams to be raging at Vera Cruz, and its appearance this early on the Gulf, implies some danger of its extending to American ports. Every caution should be taken to prevent it. A New York tele gram reports the arrival at quarantine of Spanish bark with yellow fever on board. It does not give the port from whence she sailed. A Quack Doctor op Laws.—The Northwest ern University of Illinois has just conferred the degree of LL. D. on PhiL Sheridan. Sheri- da’ns practice has been so fatal to the laws of God and man that the University determined to perpetrate a stiDging satire on Phil, and the doctors, too, by conferring this degree. Thanks.—The editors of the Telegram and Messenger return their thanks to the Philo- mathean Society of the Wesleyan Female Col lege, for an invitation to attend the biennial celebration of that society, this evening at 8 o’clock. Early.—Some friend who sent his name on a slip which was mislaid, sent ns a fair sized sweet potato yesterday. This is early. The Medical Convention. We have received a private note from Dr. McDowell, the President eleot of the Georgia Medical Association, in which be says our report of the Convention was incorrect in every “ma terial statement,” and to prove the same he in stances the fact that the first motion to adjourn was made by Dr. Green, of Americas, who voted with the minority, but moved to adjourn until 10 o’clock the next day. The Doctor also charges that the friends of tho resolutions sought by “all manner of tac tics” to prevent a vote upon their own report. Upon inquiry we learn that Dr. Green did really make the first motion to adjourn, but we are assured this was not done to defeat any action, but merely to allow time for the excitement, which was at fever heat, to subside. His motion was made after the previous question had been called, and when the house was in hopeless con fusion. To prove that he did not favor indefi nite postponement, he voted against Dr. Kirk- sey’s motion to adjonra until two days after the assembling of the Association at Columbus. The members of the minority distinctly deny that they wished any postponement of a vote upon the resolutions. But, on the contrary, several members of the Atlanta party declared sub wee, but loud enough to be heard, that they intended to adjourn and go home that night. Dr. McDowell also takes us to task for calling his party schismatics, and asks how could they be schismatics, when they held a majority in the convention which had been called by the opposition? Wo answer, this is not difficult to explain. History shows how, time and again, by superior tact and industry, small minorities have obtained the control in the organization of large deliberative bodies. Thus the New School members of the Presbyterian chnrch, in 1836, with less than one-fourth of the numerical strength of the Old School, yet obtained con trol of their General Assembly. So, also, on Wednesday, Atlanta, organized and compact, without pausing, we have heard, even to regis ter at the hotels, marched to tho City Hall, to control matters and go home. As to whether our Atlanta friends are schis matics in the real sense of the word, we will leave to be settled by the controversialists them selves. We may bo old fashioned in our views, but to us it does appear that when any portion of scientific body departs from long established usage and that practice which requires thorough course of reading, and a given term of years to qualify the candidate for a degree in the department of medicine, the innovators, are liable to the charge of schism and departure from ancient landmarks. The Doctor also charges that we intimated that a majority of tho Atlantaites present, were graduates of their Medical College. We did not intend to create this impression, having no data to guide us in the premises. But a mem ber of the committee on credentials assures us that a goodly number held the diplomas of that latter day school. In answer to the interrogatory whether we are the champions of the minority movement, we answer emphatically, no. We are the champions of no clique or faction, and leave you to fight out these questions on your own line, if needs be for “ four years more.” But we do reserve the right as journalists, and shall exercise it, too, of upholding the standards of medical and academical education in onr State. And whenever we believe that jaokleg doctors, or sohool teachers, or engineers, or jnrists are inflicted npon the people, we shall enter a pro test against their papers. In conclusion, we can assure Dr. McDowell that our feelings toward himself are of the kindest nature, nor would we intentionally wrong or mistate the party of which he is a member. Wendell Phillips Outdone.—The Commun ists have broken out in New York and hold their orgies nightly. They go so far ahead of Wen dell Phillips in the art and science of objurga tion, that we think Phillips is laid on the shelf. He’s gone up, unless he can get some engeni- ous Bostonian to supplement his “cussing pow- with a twenty-horse engine. When Wen dell reads their “proceedings” he will see the handwriting on the wall. He will be dumb founded—like that furious old Virago of a London fisherwoman, who was “cussed” dumb on a wager by an Oxford student The student bet a guinea he could “out cuss” her withont profanity, and accordingly assailed her with every term known in science. She stuck to him and gave him as good as he sent, until he called her a “hyposulphurous hypothennse of a right- angled triangle,” when sho gave in and bust into tears. That was too much. Sho had hoard swearing in her day, but that beat every thing—no woman conld stand it. And when Phillips reads the howlings of these Commun ists and sees how far they are ahead of him in cussing everybody and everything, he will have to give in too. The Western Silver Mines.—During the last six months 55,000 ounces of pure silver from the Western mines, have been received at the Assay Office at New York, and from one little island in Lake Michigan, silver to the value of $600,000 has b9en received at the United States' mint at Philadelphia within the past twelve mouths. The vein on this island is eight feet wide and 70 feet long, and the ore is so pure that 2,200 ounces yielded 1,600 ounces of pure silver. The “Little Emma” mine in Utah, since last August, has yielded 9,000 tons of ore which have averaged $220 per ton, of which $160 a ton is net profit The daily pro duet, now, is 100 tons, and the daily net profit is $15,000. The mine is owned by four or five persons and cost them $1,500,000. In Nevada and Arizona there are also mines of unusual richness—the crude ore from one of them, in the latter region, yielding $S,000 a ton, and the range being from $350 to $800 per ton. The Amazon Rives. —A South American letter in the St Louis Republican, speaking of the Amazon River, says : The Amazon river drains over one-third of South America, and its basin is more than twice the size of the Mississippi valley, while, if the Mississippi poured into it near its month, it would not raise it over six inches. The tide flows np the Amazon six hundred miles from its month, and the river is navigable for ships 2,- 400 miles, and for steamboats, to the foot of the Andes. The extent of inland navigation afforded by the Amazon and tributaries is 50, 000 miles, and 15,000 of this is suitable for steamboat navigation. In tho Amazon basin aie found Bolivia, Peru, Equador, New Grena da, and Venezuela, (five republics) all drained to a certain extent by the Amazon River. Of these, Bolivia holds four-fifths of the entire population of the Amazon basin, which is 2,750, 000 inhabitants, and whose area in territory is 400,000 square miles. The Outrage Manufacture.—This depart ment of home industry can uolongerbe classed among our “infant manufactures.” It has been prosecuted by the Radicals with great vigor ever since the war. The Montgomery Adver tiser cites an illustration of it as follows: “George W. Richardson, the Radical Solici tor of Coosa county, blindfolded, gagged and whipped two little negro girls, and threatened them with death if they stiould ever toil who committed the outrage. He was trying to man ufacture a Ku-klux outrage to serve as the basis for further persecution of Southern Democrats. 3ut, fortunately for us, he was detected, and his design exposed by a negro. ’ Iowa Crops.—The Des Moines Register says the wheat crop of Iowa will be a fair average, and the com will be the best ever produced in the State. Weather exceedingly hot. TIIE GEORGIA PRESS. The peach crop of Southern Georgia is the best ever known, says the Valdosta Times. CapL Jaa. R. Miller, formerly of the 47th Georgia Volunteers, and a most exoellent citi zen, died in Echols county, last week. The Valdosta Times says crops in that section are unusually poor. There will probably be as much com made as last year, but ootton will not make moro than one third of a crop. The McDuffie Journal calls tho P. 6.L6. a ‘Meteoric Venus,” and says she will “radiate around Warrenton” this week. This question about the P. G. must be settled. Oar nerves can't stand it much longer The Commercial says: Which is Bight ?—We notice that the Car- tersville Express is jubilant over the early com pletion of the Oartersville and Van Wert Road and its extension to Cedar town, as is evinced by the following: “The existence of the Chero kee Railroad from Rock Mart and Van Wert via Cedar Town to Pryor’s Station on the Dal ton, Rome and Selma Railroad is positively de termined npon, and a corps of engineers are now surveying the route. The work will soon be commenced and pushed to a speedy com pletion.” Tho Express may be right. If so, we cannot explain the cause that called forth the annexed letter that we are in receipt of this morning: Near Stilesboro, Ga , June SO, 1871. Mr. Editor : The citizens and laborers of this section having been bo badly treated and hum bugged by Kimball and his carpet-bag crew on the C. & V. W. R. R., we desire to speak through the press. I desire to write him a letter weekly, about a column in length, setting forth the facts in the case. Would you like such a contribution to the Commercial. It is generally known over this section that such is to be published, and it is anxiously looked for and will circulate the pa per as all are anxious to have it. * * * * * W. O. The Romans will vote, to-morrow, on the question of a city subscription of $100,000 to the North and South Railway. The Sandersville Georgian says some of the freedmeu of that county are beginning to ask: What is to beoome of us?—in view of the prospect of a supply of foreign labor. Be tween -three and four hundred Swedes have been contracted for by planters of the county. The cotton crop of Washington county is im proving fast. A fine rain, Sunday night, which was much needed, has greatly improved com prospects. Central Railroad stook (ex-dividend) sold at Savannah, Tuesday, at $117 to 117.50 per share; Southwestern at $91.50; Atlantia and Gulf (guaranteed) at $49.50; Atlantic and Gulf (common) at $28.50; Savannah and Au gusta at $S4, and Savannah bonds at $84. Atlanta is preparing for a big crow over her ice factory, which will commence to supply that city this week. The capacity of the fao- tory is 10 tons daily. We clip the following items from the Monroe Advertiser of Tuesday: The Bamesville and Thomasville Railroad is making barely sufficient for operating ex penses. Patriotism is dying out in Forsyth, evidently. The colored people can get no one to orate to-’ day. Crops.—Crops of all kinds in the bottoms look exceedingly promising; corn especially wears a luxuriant appearance. Louisville “drummers” have learned the geographical situation of Forsyth, and aro cul tivating the acquaintance of our merchants. Considerable quantities of wool have been re ceived at this point, for the factory at High Falls, within the past few weeks. Those of our citizens sojourning at Indian Spring are accustoming themselves to sulphur baths by the conjoint advice of their physicians and clergymen. Butts County.—During a visit to the upper part of Monroe and a portion of Butts county ast week, we had an opportunity to observe the condition of the crops. Owing to the excessive rains, crops of all kinds are more forward than usual at this season of the year, and promise ah abundant yield. Grass has kept pace with other vegetation, and in some places got the better of “king cotton” in its upward tendency. The best crop we saw was on the plantation of CoL B. F. Ward, in Butts county. His cotton has been well worked and looks well. His ex tensive lowgrounds looked “like a sea of com” almost as far as the eye conld reach, along the margin of the Ocmulgee. The Colonel thinks he will make at least twelve hundred barrels. Red Clover.—We have seen sample stalks of red clover from a half-acre patch on the prem ises of Dr. R. L. Koddey, which is said to aver age now abont waist high. And this, too, not withstanding the seed were sown in November last, and the crop cut twice. But we don’t pro pose to “frighten” any one into raising clover by figuring ont the probable yield during the season, with this statement for the basis. Tom Costello, well known as au Atlanta po liceman and firomaD, died last Tuesday. About 12 o’clock Tuesday night, George Manning and Harriet Johnson, both colored, while ont strolling, fell into a well George came out head foremost, but Harriet feet foremost, and so there was a funeral. Dr. Yeager is announced by the Atlanta Era, as news editor of its cotemp irary, the Con stitution. The stockholders of the Griffin and Madison Railroad will hold a meeting at Indian Springs on the 14th inst., for the purpose of organiza tion. We quote as follows from the Constitution, of yesterday: Georgia Western Road.—At the meeting of the stockholders of the Georgia Westem Road, this morning, Campbell Wallace was unanimous ly elected President, and Hon. John P. King, J. H. James, John Collier, E. Y. Clarke, A. W Mitchell. T. Alexander, A. M. Speights, C. P. Cassin, F. P. Rice, and C. W. Wells, Directors. Mrs. Mary A. Yance, of Newnan, died Thurs day of last week, and on the same day R. P. Bellah, charged with murder, was acquitted in Coweta Superior Court. The Newnan Defender relates the following Timely and Benevolent Action of an Ox — Last week a little boy was passing through the yard of one of our citizens when he was sud denly assailed by a huge mastiff. The dog had succeeded in bringing the boy to the ground and was in the act of plunging his teeth into his flesh when an ox, standing near, entered the arena, lifted the dog npon his horns and carried him off to the joy of the little boy. It is not positively ascertained whether love for the little boy or hatred for the dog prompted the interference of the ox. From three to eight bushels per acre was the average wheat yield the past season in most sec tions of Pike county, but T. J. Nelson’s crop, of Upson county, averaged 20| bushels—so Bays the Bamesville Gazette. Jim Tombs, negro, who was in jail at Perry, and under sentence of death on the 28th inst., made his escape Friday morning about three o’clock. He knocked the sheriff on the head with a piece of iron, broke through a crowd of men who were guarding the jail, and vamosed, singing “Hark from the Tombs.” The Athens Watchman says Northeast Geor gia is infested with horse thieves, and proposes as a remedy for the disease, to shoot the thieves when canght, and then try them afterwards. We clip the following from the Watchman: Death of an Old Citizen.—CapL Richard Richardson, an old and highly respectable citi zen of this county, died in Watkinsville, on Sunday. The deceased was a native of Virginia, but had lived a great many years in this county, and enjoyed the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens in a remarkable degree. He served the people some years ago as represen tative in the Legislature. “Peace to his ashes.” Improvements.—Withont any noise, or “fass or feathers”—but modestly and quietly—Ath ens goes on improving; building churches, warehouses, siore-houses, factories, dwelling houses, etc , etc.—from month to month widen ing its borders and increasing its population. Northeastern Railroad.—We are pleased to learn that the prospects of this important work are daily brightening, and its early commence ment, rapid progress and final completion may be safely relied on. Many persons are doub ling their subscriptions and new stockholders are ooming in daily.' Push forward the good work! PLANTERS, TAKE NOTICE B4CON.
