Telegraph & Messenger 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. Alabaiun ami flie A. * V. Koail. 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.

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 founded on compromise principles. It is to be - made np of a combination of Yankee-doodle and Dixie, and to bo called Dixie-Poodle. . Beech, the horse-humanitarian, writes that the test pavement in the world is the old XIo- Adams, composed of broken stone, and has been so proved in London, Paris and Berlin. If itis dusty, water it.

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. f X. 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.
