TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 1, 1871
Tin* llrnnswick Kill I road Money.
Wo learn, upon inquiry, that the paragraph
in onr local column, Sunday morning, in refer
ence to Ibo bills of tlio Macon and Brunswick
Railroad Company, was written at the sugges
tion of somo leading mercantile houses in this
city, and that it is a fact that several of them
have been refusing theso bills for some days.
The reason is that these bills are not bankable,
and cannot bo used in thopurchase of exchange
and in meeting business obligations. The bills,
however, are still received in small quantities
in current trado, (with, porbaps, more or lees
reluctance,) because most people believe that
the principal stockholders of tho company, be
ing men of Urge weans, will protect its credit;
and for our own part, we shall not doubt that
such will bo the case. Indeed, projecting the
liberal expenditures which theso parties are now
doings, to effect Western and Southwestern con
nections, tho redemption of their monoy would
be as indispensible to tho prosecution of their
great enterprises, as it is insignificant in com
parison with thoir means and proposed under
takings.
We aro informed that the company rodoemed
five thousand dollars of thoir bills yesterday,
and hope they will take measures to retire them
altogether, or to makothem bankable in Macon,
which will quiet all nnoasiness. Tho President
of tho road, Mr. Haziehnret, is now absent, re
turning from a trip to New York, bnt will bo in
Maeou in a day or two. Whon ho arrives wo
shall look for some satisfactory arrangement.
We may add, in conclusion, that tho refusal to
receive tho bills, arose from no hostility or un
friendliness to the Macon and Brunswick Rail
road oompany; bnt aolely from tho fact that
considerable amonnta of this monoy wore ac-
cnmnlating in private hands, which merchants
found it impossible to nse for the reasons stated.

Gen. Clanton, the Receiver on tho part of the
State of Alabama, for tho Alabama and Chatta
nooga Railroad, made a speech to tho people of
that oity from tho 6teps of tho Burns Ilonso on
Friday last. Ho said the road bad been built
at a cost to tho State of thirty tbonsand dollars
a mile, and had received seven millions in en
dorsed bonds. Tho Slate had paid $(100,000 on
these bonds in July and wonld have to pay six
hundred tbonsand moro in January next. She
takea possession of the road, not bccanso she
wants it, bnt to protect herself from total loss.
In regard to tho running of the road, Gen.
Clanton declared that the authorities meant to
"ran the rood in Alabama from one State line
to the other, if it takes five hundred men with
gnus to every mile.” Ho asks to be allowed to
rnn tho trains into Chattanooga without moles
tation, giving assurance that security wonld be
given for all claims of employees against tho
road. A resolntion adopted by a majority of
the employees was road, declaring their willing
ness to accept the sitnation and resume work
nnder tho new arrangement. This is a bad
showing for State aid in Alabama—bow much
better will it tnm ont in Georgia ?
Tlio Cotton Flgnrcs.
The weekly report of Friday night shows to
tal reoeipts 3,067,247 bales ogoinBt 2,849,033 np
to tho same date last year— Bhowing the increase
of 1,118,151 bales on last year’s crop. The
condition in Liverpool compared with last year
as follows:
1870 1871
Stook 689,000 699,000
American cotton afloat 69,000 59,000
Indian cotton afloat 496,902 697,530

Excess this year 310,628 bales.
Tns Atiohnet General.—Tho Northern pa
pers are heavy npcn>a recent decision of Attor
ney-General Akerrfan, to the effect that the
blaok linos on tho reverse side of envelopes, in
tended to facilitate the directing of letters, are
in contravention of tho act of March 3d, 1871,
which provides “that no envelopes as famished
by the Government shall eontain any lithograph
ing, engraving, and no printing, except a
printed request to return tho letter to the
writer.” »
The Postmaster General naturally dissatisfied
with this diotnm, referred the matter to XL B.
Field, a leading lawyer of New York, who says
in bis reply that he cannot agree with the At
torney-General, or find any lawyer in New
York who does. If his opinion be correct the
aot would also prohibit the stamp and water
marks contained in the envelope. The object
of the aot was to prevent these envelopes from
being used for advertising pnrposes, and not to
prohibit lines on which letter superscriptions
might be written.
Texas and Taxes—The taxes collected in Texas
(says tho World) for the support of the State
government in 1860 aro given as $454,804. In
1867, nnder the Andy Johnson restoration of
civil government, they were $344,208. For this
year, 1871, the assessments are $5,837,953! In
1860 the tax rate was 12$ cents per $100; in
1867 it was 15 cents; and now it is $2 25. It
is cot remarkable that a paper published in the
region tormented by reconstruction observes:
‘-The patienoe of the Southern people is a mar
vel in the history of oppression.'’
The Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad.—
The new3 comes from Chattanooga that the
affairs of the Alabama and Chattanooga rail
road aro about assuming a satisfactory shape.
Governor Lindsay, of Alabama, acting in be
half of tho interests of his State, has appointed
Gen. J. H. Clanton, cf Montgomery, to take
charge of the road as Receiver, and he is now
in Chattanooga for that purpose. The General
has been satisfactorily interviewed by the
Times, which expresses itself happy.
A Grand Blow-out at the Hire.—Gilmore,
of Boston, is planning another grand racket,
which shall shame the Peace Jubilee. He is to
havo 20,000 choristers, 2,000 instrumentalists
and a coliseum which shall scat a hundred thou
sand persons.
The genius of a Boston composer is at last
to supply the nation with a national hymn

From tnlhbert to AllHiiia.
Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger.]
“An onnoe of experience is worth a pound of
theory;” with U3 it is all cheap. I propose to
give it for the beht fit of your numerous South
west Georgia readers, who are sighing for the
cool breezes of the up-country. That portion
of country traversed in day light, say from
Cnthbert to B.irnesvil'.e, is parched for want of
rain, and tho proVpect for crops most unprom
ising. A fair average for corn along the line
must be under five bnshels per acre, and of cot
ton under a bale to six acres, and all the vine
crops in proportion.
They still keep a good eating house at Fort
Valley, but have greatly impaired it, as to rail
road passengers. Instead of having their boun
tiful supplies spread out on the table, so that
guests who cannot attract the attention of ser
vants can make a good dinner independently of
them, they now require ns to wait, in a bad
hnmor, between the whistling of the engine to
atari and the prospect of getting the little dishes
a la city from an adjoining room.
We don’t even get a bow now from onrpolito
friends of the Brown House. In conseqence of
the lease, or something else, we aro put straight
thorough to the Gate City by 10 and a half o’clock
at night—getting a good supper at Griffin at
75 cents. And we go to tho H. L Kimball House
of necessity, as well as-choice, it having dried
np the National, the American and tho United
States, and turned the balance into boarding
houses. It is now to all Georgia travelers what
Jerusalem is to Palestine, and ho who packs his
trank now does so for the Kimball Ilonse, of
course. Two of ns were assigned to No. 127,
whither, after long delay in tho baggage depart
ment, we took passage by the elevator. It is
Romething less than a quarter of a mile from the
starting point, the office at the bottom of the
Arcade, and on being reached is neatly furn
ished, has two beds, abont ton by twelve, with
one window like a port hole to a fort, and lets
yon look ont over tho tops of less pretentious
bnildings, and gives yon a poep at the clock
npon tho Opera House, and when the wind
blows at all and comes from that direction yon
get a breeze, without which yon can perspiro
freely at any hoar in the twenly-fonr. Its a
gloomy distance from the centre of attraction,
nnd those who do not belong to any ring, and
whoso appcnranco and manners do not impress
npon others nn adeqnato idea of their greatness,
find it difficult to cnltivate the acquaintance of
servants, and it may bo thoy aro without many
comforts and pleasnre-giviM. attentions to he
met with in places of less notoriety. And while
this may bo the rich reward of a tiresome jour
ney, to a large number of travelers, still, to the
people, by and large, who have not many four
dollars a day to pay ont, the Kimball House, to
the size of it, is not np to many other places I
have seen. Hence I changed quarters to a
boarding honso abont 150 yards from tho Pas
senger Depot, where I get fair meals, have a
corner room 20 bj 24, with fonr large windows,
at $1.50 a day.
And it is all a mistake for low-conntry people
who are in healthful localities, to rnn off np
hero. Aside from the money they spend, and
the loss of business at homo, the weather hotter
nnd more oppressive, there aro the mnsqnitoos!
They are not only moro nnmerons, but far moro
persevering and nncerenionions in attack. They
are as far ahead of tho herd we have in tho low-
conntry, os the politicians here are ahead of onrs
in their assaults on the State Treasury. Instead
of Binging yon a requiem that Intis yon to sleep
before they inspect yonr circulation, and take
ont a supply for a moderate musqnito's stom
ach. they charge you in force by the time yonr
gas is ont and yon are straight in bed—yonr
face, hands and feet, ail have to bear the assanlt
at once ; and the killing and mangling of the
whole vanguard has no terror for the dense and
continually repletinglineB of the main army, and
they charge as well over the dead bodies of their
comrades, whose ghastly corpses are nnbnried,
ns if no casualties had occurred at all. And
nothing hut the gnilding of ihe eastern horizon
by the cheering beams of aurora, pats an end
to the fray.
I asked a 15'h Amendment this morning, who
came to bring me water, if it was only a raid
npon the townor a regular soige. He said they
were “scacely as bad some nights as they are
ginally,” and gave me a piece of valuable infor
mation. It was that, “if I would pnt a piece of
raw beef in the room they would sack the beef
and let me-alone.” And it stands to reason
that they will prefer tho beef to my carcass af
ter lost night's entertainment. H. F.
J.eUer from New York.
Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger. J
New York, July 28.
I left Macon on the morning train, on the
22d, and arrived in Atlanta in time to make
close connection with the Western and Atlantic
Railroad. Here I was soon snngly ensconced in
a magnificent Pnllman palace cor, and was soon
whirling over the great Southern mail ronte.
To-night, only forty-nine honra after leaving
Atlanta, and fifty-six hours from Macon, I find
myself comfortably established in a fashionable
New York hotel, having made the entire trip
with bnt two changes of cars from Atlanta.
This line of travel is unquestionably the best
for travelers. The roads are all in excellent
condition, the cars are all very palaces, and as
comfortable as cars can be made, the officers of
all the roads are courteous, and ever know how
to give a polite answer to a polite question,
while all the eating-houses are marvels in their
line. There is not an eating-house on tbe whole
route that does not keep a better table than
many of our first-class hotels, so-called. *
Parties traveling this route, and leaving Ma
con the train that I did, enjoy the luxury of
traveling by day light through that region of
Virginia in which are spread ont those vast
mountain regions which are the special wonder
of all who see them. There is no finer moun
tain scenery in the world than this is. For
hours and honrs we travel with mountains to the
right of ns, monntains to the left of ns, and
mountains in front of ns. Which over way we
look there are mountains after monntains, with
beautiful valleys and coves lying between them,
and some of them almost enshadowed by monn
tains, bnt all of them fertile and giving evi
dence of the presence of man and the oivilizing
influence of woman. It is worth the cost cf the
whole trip to witness these grand demonstrations
of nature.
Again, the route takes ns through that por
tion of Virginia which has been rendered
classic by the events of the war. We pass
Manassas—the scene of two of the bloodiest
conflicts of the war; pass over ground that has
received a copious baptism of blood from the
veins of the best Sonthern chivalry—all fruit
less it is true, but none the less glorious. While
passing over this ground, I could not help call
ing to mind the many brilliant and bloody
scenes enacted here; their heroism; their
grandeur ; their fidelity. And yet, though fntile
all this bloodshed, the lines of the poet are not
controverted—
" Oh if there bo on this earthly sphere
A boon, an offering heaven bolds dear,
"Tis the last libation liberty draws
From the heart that bleeds and dies in her cause.”
I write this letter from no other motive than
to point ont to my friends the quickest and
most comfortable line of travel to New York.
I want it understood that I am writing no puff,
for a consideration; for I paid full fare coming
and will pay full fare when I return. I am thus
left free to express my opinion and it is
unanimously in favor of the great Southern
mail icnte via Knoxville, Lynchburg, etc.

Sound Sense.—Tbe Italians of New York
held a meeting last week to make provision to
celebrate the consummation of Italian nnify
and the occupation of Rome as the capital of'
the kingdom. One of their number having
proposed a pnblio procession, which would, of
course, bo offensive to the Papal party, the
President of the meeting remarked as follows:
It is wrong for the sake of empty pageantry,
that aliens should provoke feelings of enmity
among classes and creeds. In making any
national display we should remember that this is
America, the freest and greatest land on earth,
where clanish demonstrations are insults, and
where any cause of international disturbance
provoked by foreign peculiarities means in
gratitude to the conn try that has sheltered and
been bountiful to so many millions who knew
no comfort at home. Let us not therefore be
even the remotest cause of any unkindly feel
ing among onr fellow-men in this broad arena
of freedom.
"Who will deny that there was sound sense, as
well as liberality and patriotism in this sug
gestion ?
About the only person we ever heard of that
wasn’t spoiled by being lionized, was a Jew
named Daniel.
A Remarkable Confession of a Radi
cal from the Ncaflbld.
Ned Meyers and Lewis Coppedge, both
negroes, were hung on the 21st Jalv, having
been convicted of the murder of James W.
Redfearn, a white mau and an estimable citizen,
on tbe 21st instant, at Wadesboro, Anson
county, North Carolina. On the scaffold Lewis
Coppedge made the followmg speech to the
multitude of spectators:
“I say, I went to the Rtore on Wednesday
night, and I stsyed there until Saturday night,
and I killed Mas’r Jim Redfearn. I had a mother
then, and from her I got something to eat, and
and then it was that I told her goodby. She
knew nothing abont my going to kill Mas’r Jim.
I think that she thought I was gone over the
river. I stayed there until Saturday night. I
killed Mas’r Jim myself, and none hut God and
myself knows anything abont it. They say that
I wanted to kill Sam Redfearn, and that I Baid
I wanted to kill him. That ain’t so. I never did
aay any such thing. My brother Jim and Ned
Myers, who now stands by me on the gallows to
be hung, had nothing to do with it and knew
nothing abont it. Where is Mas’r Townley Red
fearn? I knows that I wronged the Red-
feams. I knows I wronged them badly, and
now I ask their forgiveness for it. I abused
them by my acts and I know I did wrong, and I
ask forgiveness. I hope they will all for
give me, as I am soon to go to meet my
Cod. There was nobody there but me. I tell
all yon black folks you must never steal any
thing, and if you have stolen anything never
steal anything more. Never go where there
are bad men, wicked men. Look and see where
it has brought me. There is a party they call
the Union party—the Radical party. They
never do n3 no good. They do us barm. They
make us do mean things. No Radical ever
come to me and say, Lewis, here is something
before you die. I advise you all to take care of
yourselves. Good many of you may think my
brother Jim and father had something to do
with it, bnt the God on high knows that no one
else had bnt me. I picked ap a piece of plank,
slipped np behind him and knocked him down.
I took his money. It was all ho had. I hope
to meet yon all in the kingdom. I know there
is a Saviour on His throne that will save me.
I am not afraid of them ropes and this plat
form. I am afraid of my sonb My time is
short, but I hope to meet you all at a better
day.
The pnblio will be glad to learn from the an
nexed dispatch that the President’s horses are
to be properly provided for. As a “horse”
President this branch of the pnblio service is
important:
Washington, Jnly 27.—A fine location ad
joining the now Stato Department bnilding has
been selected for tho President’s now stable.
The plans have been prepared and the founda
tion is being laid. It is to be two stories high,
and 78 by 58 feet, with an elegant front. There
will be wings for carriage houses, and the whole
establishment will be fitted up with every mod
ern convenience for horses and attendants.
Now we feel easy.
Editorial Wit.—We clip the following from
the New York Commercial Advertiser, of Fri
day :
The New Oileans Republican is saroastio.
Hear it:
One of the liveliest newspaper paragraphist in
the country is Alec Stephens, of the Atlanta Sun.
He had a squib in h*s last issue which was only
five columns long.
Bat Alec is a sharp paragraphist in spite of
this sarcasm. Witness—the Lomsville Journal
alluding to the report that the little man had
gained nine pounds since he was last weighed,
remarked that he must have had one of his
editorials in his pocket; wherenponAlecbkeenly
retorted: “If the Journal editor should pnt one
of Aw editorials in his pocket, he’d go up like a
balloon.” We have not had the Journal ed
itor’s reply yet, but we rather think he won’t
“go” Aleck any better.
Voudooism.—Tho Memphis Appeal reports a
case in that city as follows:
According to the witness, tho sorceress had
sprinkled some “carious dust” in the yard of the
si jk man’s dwelling, said dust being composed
of “dead men’s bones and finger nails and some
thing else, all beat np fine,” forming a spell of
tremendous power. The bottle containing this
mixture was discovered in the honse, and with
fear and trembling taken to the river and thrown
m, “canse yon know de spirits can be drowned.”
Bnt still tho patient became no better, and an
unwise woman gave this prescription: “Cut a
chip onten de top of de door bar, and pnt one
piece on lef’ one on de right, and move his pil
low and bed outside de h«nso, and he’ll git easy
by de hour of twelve.” ThiB also proving ineffi
cacious, a Vondoo doctor was called in. Bis
experienced eye led him directly to the pillow
of the sick man’s bed, from which he extracted
some half a dozen fetiches of hair and feathers;
but the sufferer was too far gone, and even this
relief could not pievent his death. Naturally,'
such condnsive evidence of maleficet sorcery
was sufficient to bring tbe woman np for trial.
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks.—The Commer
cial Advertiser pay3 the following compliment
to Mr. Hendricks. Coming from a Republican
source it is appreciable:
This distinguished statesman, whom the Dem
ocrats of Indiana have jnst indicated as their
first choice for the Presidency, is perhaps, with
the single exception of Judge Thurman, of
Ohio, the ablest man in bis party. His speeches
while in the United States Senate, as well
as those delivered from the stamp, indicate
a broad, catholic, liberal urnd, quick to detect
every species of sophistry; comprehensive in
its grasp; clear, penetrating and logical. He
is one of the very few men who possess the faculty
of being great politicians withont the least
flavor of charlatanry. Mr. Hendricks makes
np his mind as to what is right and then advo
cates it withont regard to any selfish motives.
He is abont as far removed from a trimmer os
aDy man could be, and the only disadvantage
nnder which be labors is, that not a tenth of his
party ia able to appreciate him.
Asking One Thinq and Getting Another.—
When the railroad Knklnx rnn off with the
engine of Stanton’s road, that worthy telegraph
ed Gov. Lindsay stating the faot, and asking
“Will you protect the road and property of this
company ?” Lindsay replied forthwith:
The Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad
and property will be protected, and in order
the better to accomplish this objeot and to
protect the interests of the State, and other
parties concerned, I have proceeded in the
name of the State and nnder the laws authoriz
ing me, to take possession of the road and ap
purtenances.
The Assault on the Sub ku-Klux Commit
tee.— Washington July 25.—An eye-witness of
the assanlt on Representatives Wallace and
Stevenson, at Yorkville, S. C., gives his version
of the affair. Messrs. Wallace, Stevenson, and
Van Tramp were seated on one side of a hotel
table, at snpper, when two citizens came in and
sat opposite, one being Major Berry, a rebel,
and very bitter in his fellings. Upon seating
himself he saw Wallace, with whom he had a
personal acquaintance, and without saying a
word, canght np a pitcher of milk and threw it
at him. He missed Wallace, however, and
poured all the contents over Stevenson. Wal
lace drew a revolver to defend himself, when
Berry was taken ont by his friends. There was
great excitement abont ihe hotel, but no gener
al disturbance.—Special to the Cincinnati Ga
zette. _
On. Not Struck.—A San Francisco dispatch
say3:
It is estimated that tho government income
from the Alaska seal islands duty will be greatly
cartailed from the fact that no seal oil is being
saved. The contract binds the lessees to pay
the government 62$ cents per gallon for all the
oil taken, bnt does not bind them to take any;
and as the oil is worth only 37$ cents in San
Francisco, none is taken. The seal carcasses
are being allowed torotafterthe pelt is stripped
off. _____
Harper's Weekly. — The Mobile Register
says: ‘The late New York riot has stirred up
alt the deviltry of Puritan Radicalism in this
incendiary sheet. The last number is illustra
ted by wood cuts representing Catholics, and
especially the Catholic Irish, in every form of
ridicule, hatred and savageiam. If the editor
and his artists had set themselves to get np a re
ligions war, and to keep up aud intensify the bad
and dangerous passions evoked on the 12th of
Jnly, they oonld not have been more diabolically
successful. Harper’s Weekly ia one of the most
extreme and virulent of the Radical papers in
the North."
