TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 8, 1871.
Will Not Come.
Tho Richmond Dispatch, of Friday, contains
a lottor from Rev. Dr. Carry, of that city, dated
the 1st instant, and addressed to Rev. Dr. Land
rum, nt Savannah, declining to accept tho po
sition of President of Mercer Univorsity to
■which tho writer was recently elected. We will
publish the letter, entire, to-morrow.
Or Corn.se.—Mr. Edwin J. Scott, chairman
of the committee which was appointed by the
Sonth Carolina tax-payers’ convention to inves
tigate tho transactions of the financial offices of
the State, reports that Mr. Parker, State Treas
urer, refuses to let his books be examined. The
Stale Comptroller and other officers offered to
furnish every facility in their power for tho ex
amination of the books and papers in their offices.
Parker has evidently not cooked np his figures
for honest inspection. Ho hails from Boston,
and landed at Charleston in 1865 with one small
sized carpet-sack, containing a dirty shirt, one
pair of drawers and socks ditto, nnd a box of
paper collars. Now Mrs. P. sports the finest
diamonds, and P. himself, is one of the richest
men in the State. If he is wise he will keop on
refusing to allow an examination of his books.
A New Railway Bbake.—Tho now air brake,
which is exciting so much attention among
railroad men, was invented in Pittsburg. It is
automatic and self-adjusting, but is directed by
machinery on tho engine. This machinery con
sists of an air pump and receiver, which are
workod by tho movement of a hand lovor at the
firo box. Pipes connect the brakes of tho entire
train, and through these, by tho movement of
tho lover on tho engine, the air is mado to act
upon each wheel instantly. Tho expenso of this
apparatus is $300 for the engino, $35 for tho
tender, and $100 for each car.
Fine Rains.—Good rains fell in Spalding and
Putnam counties on Sunday and yesterday, and
from the appearance of tho clouds tho same
day, as scon from this standpoint, our neigh
bors in Monroo and Jones were equally blessed.
This city and vicinity had a taste of the same
luxury, yesterday, substantial showers falling
at intervals from about 11, a. it., till half past
2 r. m. Tho dust has been effectually laid for a
season, and gardens unanimously revived. The
clork of tho weather will pleaso consider him
self publicly thanked therefor.
Wages in Caupcbxia.—Son Francisco seoms
to bo a good place to move to, if high wages
aro an object. Blacksmiths got $2 CO to $4 per
day; shoemakers, $35 to $G0 per month; brick
layers, $4 to $G per day; cooks $20 to $75 per
month and found; carpenters, trough) $2 to
$2 50por day; farm hands, $40per month in
snmmor; laborers, $1 CO to $2 per day; men
and wives, $40 to $G0 per month and found;
miners, $50; wood-choppers, $1 25 to $2 75
por cord, or $45 per month and found.
Died, in Talbot county, on Friday last, little
James Keenan, son of a lato well known city
editor of tho TELZGBArn. Little James left
Macon, on Tuesday last, in high health, to visit
his relatives in Talbot county. On Friday ho
was dead of congestion of tho bowels, and on
Sunday was buried besido his father in Fort
Volloy. Ho would havo been six years old noxt
month.
A Lively Time at the Home Office.—Tho
World's London correspondent gives an amusing
sketch of an irruption of three or four hnndrod
of tho shrieking sisterhood and their male sat-
telitos into tho Homo Office to demand tho im
mediate and absolnto repeal of tho Contagious
Disoascs Aot. Mr. Bruce hoard them out and
then dismissed them with some vory peremptory
robuffs.
Utah Silver Obe.—Thirty thousand bags of
silver oro from Utah were received at New
York last week, valued at $178,000 and contain'
ing an averago of forty por cent, of silver. It
is shipped to Swansea, Wales, for smelting.
The cost in Utah is about five dollars per ton.
Cost of transportation from Utah to Liverpool

A Populab Error.—Speaking of the marriage
of Mr. Lecky to a maid of honor to the Queen
of Holland, a correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says it shows the absurdity of some
of our generalizations about nations that “a
Dutch woman" should so often be another
phrase for corpulence; whereas, in fact, it is
rare in Holland to see a fat woman.

A Herald Reporter Interviews Nr. Davis
Hnd li«*ur* Mome Flitiu Talk.
The New York Tribune has an article headed
“A Liar anift Puppy, sir,” wherein one of the
press Jenkinses is shown up very handsomely.
This Jenkins, it seems, was confidentially shown
a oopy of a private letter, and immediately tele
graphed its contents, which related to Mr. Da
vis, to his journal, the Blatherskite. The Tri
bane says:
Having committed this astonishing outrage
upon Mr. Davis, it was the most natural thing
in the world for Jenkins to present himself to
the victim and inquire how he liked it. He
was not left in doubt upon that point. Jenk
ins noticed, as soon as he enterd the room, that
the ex-President looked unhappy; “his face
seemed to be drawn together and set in a mould
that expresses rather resolute endurance than
contentment”—an expression, we may remark,
almost always observed npon the faces of
persons who are so nnfortunato as to hold
interviews with Mr. Jenkins. The rebel
leader instantly began to inqnire about the
publication of the letter. “I saw,” says Jen
kins “that he wns temporising”—which we do
not exactly understand, for plainer speaking we
never heard than the conversation set down in
this extraordinary chronicle. Before fully
freeing his mind, Mr. Davis went into the next
room apparently to get a pistol, and the re
porter adds the wholly superfluous remark that
this was “an unnecessary precaution.” “I do
not pretend to be a fighting man,” he observes,
and nnloss pushed never shonld fire on a fellow
being," which is a degree of forbearance almost
heroic, especially in one who does not carry
of Effingham county, and for a number of years a l rm -^- & 1 fa ®t> Jenkins confesses that “even

Dr. Blake Brewster, one of the most esteemed
citizens of Talbot county, died last week.
Tho Talbotton Standard says of the report
made to the last meeting of the Agricultural
Club of that county by committees representing
the various districts:
In some instances a full account was not made,
embracing only a part of the district » bnt the
information submitted by the commitlee, it is
believed, will express pretty dearly the estimate
desired, Bbowing the acreage to be in favor of
com in Talbot county about 15 per cent. The
amount of guano used is about two hundred
tons. The labor in tbeconntyis reported good,
and even an improvement upon that of the pre
vious year, in many instances. Up to the pres
ent time, the year has not been favorablo to the
growing crops, and in many of the districts, it
is believed tho stand of cotton has been thinned
to snch an extent, that one-half a crop, even un
der tho most favorable conditions; cannot be
made. Tho wheat was a half crop; oats nearly
mined by mat and not mnoh rye or barley
saved. The county will make plenty corn for
home consumption. The general condition of
the planting interest is good—not many liens
given on crops.

Vnmm Beauties at Athens.—An Athens
correspondent of the Atlanta Era writes as fol
lows of some of the numerous F. G.'s who were
there, last week, in attendance npon the com
mencement exercises:
As there was not a perfect orator among the
student speakers at the chapel, there is not a
perfect beauty either, visiting or living in
Atbens. At a grand hop,, given by the stu
dents at Dcpree's Hall, on Wednesday night,
there were present some rare types of feminini
ty. Conspicuous for tall and graceful figures,
enchanting smiles and lovely modesty, weie the
Misses Henderson, from Covington. There
too, was Miss Mitchell, of Atlanta, with eyes of
a Honn, looking into the very souls of her many
admirers. Miss Lockett, of Macon, a petite
beanty whose dark luxuriant hair, whose rich,
rosy cheeks, whose bright vivacious conversa
tion proved attractions that even the Stoic must
have acknowledged.
Gen. Butler and Col. French, while yacht

going completely under the second time.—
Charleston Republican.
A signal illustration of the truth of the old
proverb. We would shed very few tears over
Butler’s mere death by drowning or elsewise,
bnt they would fall in showers over the calamity
of his cheating the gallows by any snch respec
table medium of exit from the scene of his su
perb scoundrelism.

And Dr. B. M. Palmer, (Presbyterian) of New

The Savannah dry dock, work on which was
commenced in 18G9, will be finished early this

The length of the dock is 345 feet by 80 feet
top, and 45 feet bottom width. The pumps are
the largest and most powerful ever used in this
section of country, and are capable of throwing
about 18,000 gallons of water per minute. The
entrance to the dock has been thoroughly
dredged, and a channel way allowing eighteen
feet of approach on a spring, and from sixteen
to sixteen and a half feet on an ordinary high
tide.
An occasional correspondent of the Atlanta
Era who, that paper says, is doubtless “a Steph
ens Democrat”—whatever that means—writes
from Athens under date of Augnst4tb, and thus
tartly refers to Hon. B. H. Hill’s address before
the Alumni:
He told somo great truths, but his speech
plainly evinced his desire to bring prominently
before the publio the principles of the “New
Departure.” This political acrobat has killed
himself by excessive tumbling. If he possess
ed the combined intellect of Newton, Shaks-
peare, and Webster, he could not inspire a ten
year old Georgian with theslightest confidence.
His knell has besu knolled, and he will be de
cently interred with Democratic rites when tho
next Legislature assembles.
Want the Honorable Kobl. Toombs Knows
About Tannins:—A “New Departure,’’
From the Rural Southerner.]
We were pleased, a fow days since, to wel
come in our sanotum this distinguished gentle
man and statesman, and to converse with him
for two hours. We had heard, through onr
friend “Progress,” (John T. Wingfield, Esq.,
of Washington, Ga.) that Gen. Toombs mani
fested much interest in, and devoted consider
able time to, the cultivation of his farm on
which he resides, near Washington, but we were
not prepared to find in him the enthusiast that
he is on the subject of improving our agricul
ture. We did not expect to find a man who has
spent almost his entire life in pnblio affairs and
trusts an analytical agriculturist. But his
knowledge of this, as of all other matters, is
comprehensive.
Suppose, General Toombs, that the South
plant, in cotton only, one-half the area that she
does, and devote the remainder of her lauds to
grains and grasses, what wonld be the result?”
we asked.
“Why, in five years she would be the richest
country on the face of the globe,” was the earn
est reply.
Editor—“Do you consider this section of the
Sonth adapted to growing grasses?"
Gen. Tcombs—“I do. I have never seen any
regioB, either in Europe or America, where
clover and grasses sncceed more beautifully than
they do in Middle Georgia.”
Editor—“Have you grown any grasses?”
Gen. Toombs—“I have succeeded well with
clover, orchard grass, and lucerne on uplands,
and with herds grass on damp lands. I consider
lucerne the finest forage grass that grows. It
is thrifty and hardy, and makes more forage for
six months in the year than any other crop. It
should be sown more universally than it is.”
Editor—But can the South afford to grow only
half the cotton that she does? We have to pur
chase such a vast amount of manufactures of
other countries and other sections of our own
country.
Gen. Toombs—“If the South raised only
half the cotton she does, she would realize as
much money for it as she does for her present
crops, and wonld have her provisions and
stock at home besides. She would then be
able to manufacture much more largely at
home.”
Editor—“You think, then, that every farmer
should raise at home articles of consump
tion ?”
Gen- Toombs—“ Yes, and every man can do
it, and when he does, he will be the most inde
pendent of all men-’
Such was the tenor of Gen- Toombs expres
sions, and who will deny their practicability?
This is one “departure" from old customs that

Tlie Democratic Party.
It used to be a favorite pastime with Republi
cans during the war to proclaim the Democratic
party dead, beyond the power of resurrection.
These sages of Radicalism have “changed their
tude” most emphatically within a year or two.
In proof whereof read the following specimen
brick “ confesssiona” from high Radical author
ities :
The Democratic party to-day is stronger than
it ever was in its history. It means now to
win, and I do not say that it cannot win.—Hor
ace Greeley in Vicksburg.
Yon make light of the Democracy, bnt to-day,
in the State of New York, there is a clean Dem
ocratic majority of ninety thousand. We never
did have the Irish, and now we are losing all
tho Germans.—New York Times, Radical.
Grant with his Kn-klnx bill thinks he can
kill the Democracy. It will take more men by
a million than he had at Appomatox.—New
York Sun, Radical.
A great deal has been said about the dead
Democracy. Those who think it is dead surely
never read the story of the resurrection.
There will be signs in the heavens and on the
earth in 1872 when this Democratic party gets
its soldiers in the field.—Springfield {Mass.) Re
publican, Radical.
He is a fool or a traitor who expects to win an
easy victory over the Democratic party in 1872,
Grant can never do it with the bayonet.—New
York Evening Post, Radical.
They may pay what they please, bnt those
who are the most confident do not know these
Democrats. They aro the most dangerous
when they seem most whipped. Do not put
any faith in them and do not trust them. In
retreat they are treacherous and often fatal.—

Suicide oFa Beautiiul SouUiern Girl
in New York.
From tho New York PoBt of the 2Gth nit.]
Coroner Schirmer to-day held an inquest in
the case of Genevra D. Rockwell, alias Minnie
French, a beautiful young woman of twenty-
three years, who died on Tuesday at No. 120,
East Twenty-Seventh street, from the effects of
a pistol 6hot wound in the left breast, inflicted
by herself on the 10 th instant at No. 117, West
Thirty-Third street. Fidelia Rockwell, sister
of the suicide, testified that she came to this
city with her sister abont six weeks ago from
Charlotte, North Carolina, with the intention of
going to Long Branch. They first went to the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, where they remained for a
few days, but afterwards removed to 117 West
Thirty-Third street. On the 10th inst. witness,
wishing to speak with her sister, went to the
room and found her lying on the bed. Genevra
said that she had shot herself in the left breast,
but declined to give any reason for the act,
remarking that it was “a matter between herself
and God.”
The wounded girl was taken to Bellevue Hos
pital, but in a few days was removed by her
friends to the house in East Twenty-Seventh
Btreet, where she died on Tuesday night.
Breaking Ranks.—The Charleston Courier,
of Saturday, says that at the recent municipal
election, while there were only about 400 white
men who voted the Radical ticket, there were
1,427 colored men who, in the face of all diffi
culties, bad the manhood to cast their votes
with the white race of the soil. This inaugu
rates a new era in the politics of that city, cer
tainly, and seenres its control for all time to
come by the honest men and tax-payers who
won the grand victory of last Wednesday.
Apropos of this victory, the Radical organ
there attributes it to a negro procession Mon
day night before the election, gotten np by the
trewly loyl thieves, and of which itthns speaks :
The conduct of some joining in that proces
sion was not only a disgrace to the party in
whose interest they claimed to act, bnt it was
a disgrace to onr city and to civilization itself.
Good judges estimate that that one thing cost
us five hundred votes! It not only disgusted
many who were prepared to act with ns, but it
consolidated the Conservative party. It is
maddening to any good Republican to look
back to the stupid bungling of that procession,
which alone perhaps cost ns the loss of Charles
ton. Such yells, such brandishing of clubs,
such hurling of rocks and breaking of windows
and fences and human skulls, such a little hell
let loose by men who knew not what they them
selves had at stake, surely was never seen be
fore in the interests of politics within all the
confines of civilization.
Nobth Carolina Election.—In the absence
of any definite news from this election by tele
graph, we print the following from the Raleigh
Telegram, of Saturday. The Telegram claims
to be a Democratic paper, but joined the Radi
cals in opposing tho Convention bilL It says:
The election returns received in this city thus
far are meagre, bat they indicate that the revo
lutionary scheme of Convention has been de
feated at the ballot box by the people of North
Carolina. The most sanguine opposers of the
movement calculate that it has been defeated by
from 12,000 to 15,000 vetea. It is safe to as
sume, however, that the majority against the
measure, judging from the connties already
heard from, will not fall chort of six or eight
thousand.
Saratoga Statistics.—The Commercial Ad
vertiser correspondent presents the following
statistics gleaned by careful observation at
Congress Hall: Number of young ladies who
have allowed their hands to be held unwillingly,
1,152; number do. unwillingly, 3; unmarried
ladies kissed, 391; married do., 27G.
TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS.
NEW ARRANGEMENT
Having disposed of all bnt a remnant of onr Groceries, we think proper to announce that we shall not
replenish that branch of our business, as we have determined to abandon it altogether. This change
does not contemplate any redaction of our business, but is found necessary to encourage rather than
chock the rapid growth of our business in other departments. In future we shall devote ourselves ex
clusively to
DRY GOODS,
BOOTS AND SHOES,
CLOTHING AND HATS,
FURNISHING GOODS,
AND NOTIONS.
In our Retail Department, we shall offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale, we shall offer at all sea-
sona the beat stock in all tho enumerated brandies to be found in this State, or Bouth of New York.
We invite the attention of Merchants to an examination of our stock of
Domestics and Woollen Goods,
Which were bought before the lato advance, and in which wo can offer great inducements. We shall
deal heavily in all
GEORGIA MADE GOODS,
And have made special arrangements with leading Factories whereby we shall never require more than
the Factory price. We shall make a special business of
CALICOES,
And shall keop at all times a stock from which any size order can be filled.
As we seldom fail to make good impressions on merchants who know their business, we hope to re
ceive calls from many this season who have hitherto failed to do so, as our stock will be unusually at
tractive, and our promptness in buying certain goods before the advance enables ua to offer some good
bargains. Respectfully,
jr. B. BOSS & S. T. COLEMAN.
