Telegraph & Messenger. SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 16, 1871. LIBERTY COUNTY, OR RT. JOHN'S PAR ISH. Its Pnsf History nml PrMMit Condition. This ancient portion of tbe aea coast of Geor gia was settled by a colony of English who moved in mass, first from Dorchester, England, to Dorchoster, Massachusetts, thenco to Dor chester, South Carolina, and finally, in 17.V), to Midway, Georgia, then known as St. John’s Parish. lteligions prosecution drove this devoted people from the land of their fathers, and, like the children of Israel, they gathered together their snbstance and wives and little ones, and, led by their beloved pastor, sought a refuge in the wilds of America. No band of emi grants over excelled them in piety, intelligence nnd public spirit. Of this colony it may truly be said, also, that they preserved and retained their distinct institutions, habits and individu ality of character to a most remarkable extent. Occupying almost the whole of wbat is now known as the 15th district of Liberty county, and worshipping together every Sabbath in sun shine or storm, at old Midway, in the faith of their ancestors, seldom did one of Ibeir num ber stray from the fold to seek his fortunes in the outer world. Indeed, even to this day it is provorbial that almost every family is related by blood or marriage. ltico and com wero the staple products of the colony nntil tho introduction of sea island cot ton, which bocamo a great sonree of revenue. When the tronbles with tho mother country aroso, these hardy sons of freedom who had braved the tomahawk and wilderness in quest of religious liberty, without waiting for co-opora- tion in Georgia, boldly joined the rebellion and sent one of their number, Lyman Ilall, to the Continental Congress. Mr. Hall’s name appears among tho signers of the declaration of inde pendence. During that patriotic struggle, her sons gave freoly of their blood and treasure to the sacred cause, and bore thomselvca heroic ally in the contest. Tmo to their pions antece dents, they still freqnentod tho sanctuary, armed and roady for the deadly conflict. Tra dition states that even their pastor, Rev. Moses Allen, carried his musket with him into tho pnloit. This gallant servant of God also gave his life for his country, being drowned in Charleston harbor, while a prisoner and attempt ing to escape from a prison hnlk by swimming to tho shoro. Gen. James Screven, after whom Screven county is named, also a partisan officer from this community, was ambuscaded and fired npon within three miles of the old Church, receiving eleven balls in his body. Ho lived a whole week afterwards. Daring tho Revolution this first house of wor ship was burnt by the British, the melted glass and charred cinders attesting the fact even at the present time. The edifice now standing, which was bnilt about 00 years since, is still one of the most commodious and handsome country churches in the State. Congregational in government, it yot retains its ancient organ ization, but is the mother of three Presbyterian churches, and has sent forth from her bosom more than fifty ministers of the gospel, many of them not unknown to fame. For seventy years previous to the late war, St John’s Parish, which had received tho name of Liberty county from her noble stand in the war of the revolution, enjoyed a degreo of pros perity vonohsafed to but few localities. With no overgrown fortunes, thero was yet a more general diffusion of wealth than in any com munity wo have ever known. With bnt rare exceptions all enjoyed tho blessings of a com petency, and the education of tho young was most carefully regarded. As an evidonce of this, at ono pt^od during tho writer's connec tion with tho University of Goorgia, mu-fifth of tho undergraduates woro from Liberty connty. She has also famished five professors to that Boat of loarning, two of whom, including tho Vioe Chancellor, belong now to tho faculty of the University. Other literary, and several medical colleges likewise, are preaidod over in part by her sons, and a multitude of teachers illustrate their old homo in the various schools of the State. For more than twenty years not a licensed liqnor shop could be found within her limits. It was while thns basking in the sunshine of prosperity, and regarded everywhere as the genial abode of intelligence, refinement, and hospitality, that tho thunder clond of the re bellion bars t npon this peaceful community. Trne to his instincts and traditions, a host of armed warriors rnshod to tho field, and watered the soil of the Confederacy with their precious blood. An incident which occurred in 1862 will serve to show the temper of her people : A Yankee gunboat entered the month of New Port River and steamed np into the heart of the country, shelling every building and plantation within reach of its gnns. Soon the alarm was sounded nnd old men and boys, onco more attended by Rev. D.L. Buttolph, their faithfnl pastor, flocked to the river banks armed with rifles and shot gnns, and poured a galling fire npon the decks of this invader. Several were seen to fall, and tho enemy, startled by this warm reception, put about and made good his retreat with all possi ble speed. Years elapsed, and the dread finale of our nnhappy but gallant struggle drew near. Eighty thousand infnriated soldiers transformed into demons by famine and the dangers of a pro tracted march, led by the remorseless house burner—Sherman, rushed like an avalanche o’er the fertile plains of this devoted people, and no cyclone or tornado ever brought greater havoc and desolation. Drank with snoocss and excitement at meet ing their comrades of the navy, after the fall of Fort McAllister, all discipline was suspended, and the foe spread over the country like the hordes of Attila, plundering, ravaging and de stroying at will. Midway, that venerable tab ernacle of the Lord, was made the headquarters of Killpatrick's devils, and its sacred aisles pol luted with the vandal tread and horrid oaths of an insensate soldiery. The corner-stone of the monument, which was laid on the centennial celebration of the settlement of the country, to the original fonnders of the colony, was nproot- ed. Hecatombs of cattle were slaughtered at the very doors of the sanctuary, and their bones still bleach where they fell. The sacred repos itory of the dead was oonverted into a mam moth stable, and the graves of the departed de filed. But not with content with this, the dwel lings of unoffending women and aged citizens were forcibly entered, their inmates robbed and brutally treated, and in some instances left to starve. Cattle, sheep, horses, hogs and poultry were shot and loft in their blood; fences were burned, bridges destroyed, female helplessness insulted, and a smiling territory converted into a howling waste. From that day to this, the sceptre has departed from this gallant people, and they xtrnggle in vain for the bare necessaries of life. Almost the entire negro population accompa nied Sherman’s army as camp followers to Sa vannah, whence, after becoming hopelessly de moralized, they returned, to lord it over their former owners. This is now the condition of Liberty county. The negroes, for the most part, occupy and cnl tivate the farms of the land holders, and allow their ol«l masters one third of wbat they pro- duoe ; or they work tieo days for tho land hold ers, and four days for themselves, and in the end steal the major part of what falls to the share of the farmer. The old family seats are deserted, and rapidly falling into the hands of Dutch oystermen and adventurers, who plunder the negroes in turn, and get rich on their ill-gotten gains. Icbabod i written upon everything. Amid this Cimmerian gloom, it affords ns pleasure to chronicle that, throngh a letter re* contly received from an old friend and comrade in arms, dated WalthonrviUo, a struggling ray of light illumines the dark prospect we have painted. At this village, repeopled by the re turn of its scattered inhabitants, a promising school is in operation, taught by Mr. Monroe Mclver, a gifted native of the old country. Let us hail this circumstance as an omen for good, and devoutly hope and pray that this noble old home of an Elliott, a Cnthbert, a Law and a Screven, and a host of other worthies, who shono and flourished in better days, may yet emerge from its dreary eclipse, and reflect its former glories in all their splendor.

L before the war—The favorite of the South. Our work stands upon its merits, and we think thi sufficient guarantee. We have secured the services of some of the best mechanical talent in the tw ern shops, iu addition tosomeofthe best workmen from the shopof the late Samuel Griswold. Mr ChT' Gardner, who eerved eightyears’ apprenticeship under E. Carver & Co., at East Bridgewater jt„ and who was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells Shop, from the commencement of tf ’ manufacture of tho Moore Cotton Gin, until its suspension, is again at his post, and will give each Ci his personal inspection before it leaves the shop. In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton Gins, wo desire that they eliou'd notice the menta that we offer, which are substantially as follows: * uve " A PORTABLE ROLL BOX, For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grato, is nsod; tho object of which is to improve in tfa» quantity ginned, oriesson the quantity and improvo the quality of lint. Also, to gin damp or wet eotto' to alter the picking or separating tho lint from the seed—either to take more lint off, or less lint fnm the seed, as circumstances require. Wo use both tho common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. Tks latter is arranged to let out all tho seeds and hulls in a moment, and is very easily managed. ° THE GIN BRUSH Wo make, cannot be excelled by any hair brush UBed. The bristles aro all drawn in by a cord, anti th» timbor is all selected from tho best lumber, weU seasoned; and every Brush is made perfectly fire rat proof. CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES Can furnish either, as may bo ordered. We lin6 thorn with the best GIN SAWS.

We employ, to superintend and manufacture our SawB, ono of tho best saw-makers in the Sona,- and our machinery for the manufacture of Gin Saws cannot be excelled. COTTON SEED CRUSHING 3IILL. We aro the only succesrful manufacturers of this important and usoful invention—the Cotton Gin with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly be necossary here to allude to the immeii, t saving and economical use of crushed cotton seed, as a mannre. We received a gold medal as a premj. um, from the Fair of tho Cotton Planters’ Convention, held in Macon, Ga., I860, for tho best Com,a Seed Crushers attached to the Gin Stand, to crush the seed as fast as it escapes from tho Roll. \fc re fer to some of the many certificates that we have on the subject. TRIAL OE THE GINS. We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it leaves the shop—oM or now ones. REPAIRING OE OLD GINS. We have a complete assortment of the very beat Cotton Gin Machinery in the country, and make re pairing of old Gins a specialty.
