SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST 13, 1871.
Wanted,
In tliia community, n “Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals.” We see every day,
cases of outrage upon dumb auimals that should
be dealt with as they are in New York, viz: By
the prompt arrest and imprisonment of tbo of
fenders. No man has a right to inflict cruel
usage upon the lowest brute in tho animal king
dom. He has no right to brutalize himself by
torturing dumb creatures who cannot resist him,
and whose appeals ho can safely ignore. If he
will not restrain his wicked propensities in this
direction, voluntarily, the Law should step in
and make him do it. And when we speak of cru
elty to animals we do not alone mean unmerci
fully beating and maiming mules, and horses,
and other beasts of burden, but such fashion
able pastime as tying tin boxes to dogs tails
et id omne genu*. Some people call this fun,
bnt the right name for it, from our standpoint
is ihame. Looking from our window, yesterday,
we saw a poor little dog flying across the street
who had been so treated, and yelping most
piteously. In bis flight ho ran under the hind
wheel of a wagon heavily loaded with wood,
which passed over his body, and by some chance
the wheel almost ceased to revolve just as the
whole weight of the wagon rested on the poor
creature. It was a pitiable sight, and if the
man or boy who caused it saw it as we did wo
do not envy his feelings—if bo has any. Why
should not punishment follow such an act os
that as righteously as if the victim were a horse
or mule writhing and reeling under the pound
ing of a brnte with two legs? Wo see no dif
ference, or if any, it is in favor of the handling
of the dog torturer.
Air. Borgh is sadly needed in Macon in behalf
of freedmen’s horses and mules employed in
draying, hauling wood and starving and dying
Jn equal parts. Wo pledge our hearty co-opera
tion to any and all efforts to organize a society
of this kind.
Febsonal—This side of the Teleobaph and
Messekoeb bad a visit yesterday from Messrs.
J. H. Estill, proprietor, and J. C. Harris, asso
date editor, of the Savannah News. It is a
matter of regret with ns that wo find we have
done the latter great injustice as to bis hair.
Wo have represented it as of an ordinary rod in
color. We retract. Scarlet comes nearer the
mark. In fact, we are snre, now, that Habbis
most be a lineal descendant of tho man whose
hood the little boy in church—sitting behind
him—made believe was a blazing fire in the
blacksmith's forge, and into whoso burning
depths he thrnst first one finger and then an
other, and after palling them quickly cut, with
his knee for an anvil, hammered into shape
after the most approved blacksmith fashion—
all of which threw the preacher off bis gravity,
and broko up tho “meetin.” Bnt Harris' head
don't blaze for naught, as tho sparkling “Affairs
in Georgia” column of the Nows daily attests.
He talked of going np to Atlanta, and we hope
tho newspaper chaps np there won’t forget
their manners and staro at him when be “jost
drops in” on ’em. Of oonrae they will, but wo
most do our dnty.
Thebe is a great variety of newspaper bores.
The most fiendish and relentless of his olass,
however, is the superannuated Anger who picks
np n pspor somewhere and find3 a “devilish
good thing that I haven’t seen in yonr paper,
and whioh perhaps yon’ve overlooked; its some
thing yon ought to havo." .Since the days of
tho first of theso Augers, no one of them has
over found anything fit to be printed in any
paper, and cortainly nothing that ought to havo
a place in yonr paper. What be officiously
offers has invariably been passed (as it should
have been passed) by a scissors man who has
grown bald and gray in the business of getting
together interesting reading. Poor old Soissora
grows balder and grayer whenever the finger
marks of the Seleoting Auger are made visible
in his good work, and if Scissors steps ont in
the a bit to ease bis burdened soul with a
quiet “swear,” it is reasonable to suppose that
a “tear from the Recording Angel will,” eto
The Sues Canal is unpromising property. H.
do Lesaeps at a recent meeting of the share
holders reported that tbo expenses of the canal
for 1869 were £5,729,815 francs, and the re
ceipts 28,786,770 francs. The outlay for 1870
was 36,174,662 francs and the receipts about
6,000.000 francs less. For 1871 it was estimate
od there were would be a deficit of 8,600,000
francs. This condition of affairs would neces
sitate a loan, but not exceeding 20,000,000
francs ($4,000,000). ‘
Health or Macon.—Prof. EusIod, of the Com
mercial College, expresses his opinion that his
classes in September will be thinned by a pre
valent misapprehension abont the health of Ma
con in that month. We know not what may
happen in the fntnre, but at present there is
very little employment for the doctors in Macon.
We are quite sure the town is as healthful as
any other point in Middle Georgia.
Cotton in Twioos.— An old and highly re
spected citizen of Twiggs, Mr. MoCallnzn, com
plained to ns yesterday abont a favorable re
port of the cotton crop in that county, which
he read in this paper. He says not half a
crop caD be made in Twiggs this year. We havo
had from other sources very unfavorable re
ports of the orop in that connty.
Choleba in Gzbsiany.—The tolograms report
that ont of twenty-three cases of cholera at
tacked on Friday last in Konigsberg, Prussia,
thirteen were dead on Saturday. Konigsberg
was the old capital of Prussia, and is a town of
abont 80,000 inhabitants, situated on the river
Pregel. The German authorities, local and
national, were doing their best to control the
disorder.
De Or.DEr.s Cum—Tho Charleston Courier
says there was great excitement in the suburbs
on Thursday last, growing ont of a report among
tho Charleston negroes that orders had come
from Washington, “dat Massa Pillabury
should hold his office for ten years, and all de
negroes as voted for Wngener should be impris
oned at Fort Sumter for life.”
OVEELAND FbEIGHT BETWEEN Si. LoCIS AND
New Obleans.—The Picayune, of Thursday,
chronicles the arrival at New Orleans of 900
barrels of flonr from St. Louis, by tbo New
Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad at eighty
cents per barrel freight The time of transit
was five days.
From Texas:—Western Texas is pretty well
burnt np by tho dronth. Water disappeared—
grass dried np and cattle lowing fearfully. In
Liberty county, Calvert and Houston, the boll
worm has made its appearance and threatens to
be destructive. The latest report from the whole
Mopping section of Texas are very mixed.
Leakage.-Twenty car loads of corn from
St. Louis to Providence, R. L, lost 25S bushels.
Ten car loads from St. Louis to Boston lost 150
bnsbols. Forty-four car loads from St. Louis
to Baltimore lost 7f>0 bushels. Great shrinkage
is complained of. Was this the result of dry
weather ?
The finest basket of fruit we have seen this
season was sent to the writer’s honse Saturday
morning by Mr. Gnstin, and was made np of
huge bunches of Ontario grapes, a number of
t he choicest pears and a splendid variety of fig*-.
I.nst Vear'i'l Cotton Figures.
Our market ropoifn for August 13, 18,
showed a quiot and dull maikot at 1GJ cents for
middling. This was a little short of a cent bet
ter than now. The New York market was quiet
at 19$. The Macon receipts np to the 13 Ji of
August last were 80,034 bales fine* tho stock was
3325. Future deliveries in New York ranged
from 16$ to 17 cents up to November. We find
mention of the first open boll in Monroe by tho
Advertiser of the lltb. The general complaint
at this date was too much rain and rust in con
sequence. For the satisfaction of “ Boots,” (as
we are looking at the files) we will state that on
tho 13th August last we wrote, “The cotton
crop of Middle Georgia will in all probability
be a light one. The weed on the average is di
minutive—it has not fruited well, and is now
shedding forms and bolls under the influence of
wet weather. Moreover, the rust has attacked
it extensively from the same cause. Bnt as we
look upon planting this year as a simple ques
tion of bread, we are rejoiced to hear univer
sally favorable accounts from the corn orop.”
Wo think that is tho sum of our August predic
tions and estimates last year, and they wore
justified by the situation at that time. The big
crop of last year was made by the remarkably
long season, and when tho writer returned from
New York in November, he was astonished to
find, what he had never seen before in thirty
years of observation of the cotton crop, and
and never expects to see again—that every
planter had mado abont 25 per cent, more cot
ton than he counted upon making. It was this,
and this alone, which put the fonrth million on
the cotton crop; and when it happens agaiB,
Boots” will probably be gray as to his beard
and hair.
The first bale of New cotton was received in
Augusta last year on tho 10th of August. Six
bales of now cotton were received in Savannah
ontbelTtb—four from Georgia and two from
Florida. One was received in Columbus on the
18th. On the 22d Adams & Bazemore received
the first bale from W. Brunson, in Houston
connty, and it was sold to EUis & Brother for
164 cents.
Rome Agricultural Convention.
The third day’s meetings were devoted to
hearing tho advocates of the rival claims of
Athens, Milledgoville and Dahlenega to the lo
cation of the proposed agricultural schooL The
Convention met at 8 o'clock and ex-Gov. Brown
opened the ball in behalf of Athens with a long
Rnd able speech, in which be enforced the im
portance of sustaining tho University of Geor
gia, and placing it on the same broad and libe
ral footing of similar institntions in America
and Europe. He said Georgia was behind all the
other Sonthern States in this particular. Virginia
gives her University thrice tbo amount that our
University has, Alabama six times os much, and
Mississippi endows her Universily with $500,-
000. He contended that the money value of the
land donation, which he estimated at $202,000,
was wholly insufficient to establish snitable pro
fessorships at Milledgeville or Dabloncga, while
only two additional would be required at Athens.
Col. McKinley replied on behalf of Milledge
ville, offering both the old capitol, the buildings
of Oglethorpe College and fifty acres of land to
the object. He hoped Georgia would not allow
the University to be mixed np with agriculture.
He hoped tho Agricultural College wonld be
under the control of the State Agricultural So
ciety.
Massachnssetta educates her agricultural stu
dents at a cost of about $100 pur annum, but
each agricultural society in the State pays the
tnition of one pnpil and each of the fourteen
civil districts of the Stato pays tbo tnition of
one pupil. Georgia should adopt the Kentucky
plat), whose agricultural college compels each
student to work a certain time each day in the
fields in order to pay off part of the cost of his
tuition. Milledgeville is not bo selfish as others,
and is willing to give a share of tho value of
this landscrlpt to her sister of the mountains,
Dahlonega, which had already lor tne purposes
of such a college the valuable buildings of
the United States branch mint, donated to it by
Congress, and worth $100,000.
Cols. Capers and B. C. Yancey also addressed
*the convention on the subject, and finally a res
olution, introduced by Gen. William Phillips,
Was adoptod, x-bich refers tho whole question
of the landscript donation to the Executive Com.
mittee of the State Agricultural Society, with
instructions for them to report, at the next reg
ular meeting of the Society, a scheme for the
proper disposal of the land.
In the evening Rev. O. W. Howard addressed
the convention on the resources, condition and
prospects of Georgia, and was requested to fur
nish a copy of his speech for publication. Some
rathGr excited discussion followed this speech
on a proposition to amend the laws in reference
to labor contracts, and it was referred to a com
mittee with instructions to report to-morrow.
Bignmons Bowen Among bis African
Constituents.
The Constitutionalist, of Friday, says:
A grand negro meeting took place on Edisto
Island, S. G., last Saturday night. The Hon.(?)
Bigamous Bowen did the honors of tho occasion,
and was made a kind of Vondon idol by his
dusky adorers. He made them understand that
he intended to go on the war path as a candi
date for Governor of the State of Sonth Caroli
na, which news was received with shonts of
“Bowen for Gubner!” “O let my people go!”
and other senseless cries. At last a rush was
made for the new apostle, who was hustled off
the platform and marched between two lines of
the Africans, who were anxious to shake hands
with him. Then ensued a scene fit for Pande
monium. Old blind men, toothless and totter
ing, came and put their hands upon him, be
cause they wanted to see “dis man Bowen
women jostled ont of the line, plucked the hem
of Bowen’s garments and shonted with rapture,
‘T touched nm, I touched nm;” and mothers
brought rags and handkerchiefs, laid them up
against their new fonnd Moses, and took them
away to place on their sick babies.
Bowen will beat DeLarge ont of his hoots the
next race, now that the negroes have fonnd ont
hi3 little weakness in the matter of wives.—
They “know how it is themselves.” If he can
only convince them that he has actually stolen
a hog, or cleaned ont a chicken coop, he can
count certainly npon being their next “Gubner,*
or Congressman, or anything else he likes. And
of such is the “higher civilization” of Radical
ism.
lVUat Grant Whispered to General
I.ee at Appomattox.
The Chicago Times says that “when Lee and
Grant met at the house of Mr. McLean, near
Appomattox Court-honse. to arrange for the ca
pitulation of the Army of Northern Virginia, an
incident occurred which has remained unex
plained for over six years. The terms of the
proposed surrender were discussed freely and
openly before the members of the two staffs,
until, suddenly drawing his chair up to that of
the Confederate chiettain. Grant whispered a
few earnest words into the ear of Lee. A
haughty shake of the head from the latter, and
a brief answer in undertone, evidently of a per
emptorily negative order, was noticed by those
in attendance. The import of that bit of mys
terious by-play has just been furnished for the
first time. In the Angust number of Old and
New, Edward A. Pollard, the historian of the
Confederacy, reveals the secret. The whispered
confab was nothing less than a proposition from
Grant that Lee’s soldiers should, then and there,
subscribe to the oath of allegiance, in which
event the Federal satrap guaranteed that they
should be restored, on the spo% to all the
rights, privileges, and immunities of American
citizens.”
If Pollard is the only authority for thi3 story,
itshould botakon with, not one, bnt manygrains.
That so-called historian has been so conspicu
ously inexact in so many of his “historical
facts,” that the average Southern reader has
long since ceased to give the least attention or
credenoe to anything he may write that is un
supported by other testimony.

The Savannah Republican of Friday says:
A Bloody Tragedy in Bulloch County.—We
learn from parties who arrived in the city yes
terday, from Bolloch connty, the following par
ticulars of a very mysterious tragedy, which oc
curred at the residence of Mr. Joseph Davis, in
that connty : About 3 o’clock Wednesday morn
ing the inmates of Mr. Davis’ bouse were alarm
ed by the loud screams of his wife (Mrs. Davis).
Her sister ran to the room, and found Mrs.
Davis sitting on the bed. As soon as she enter-.
ed the room Mrs. Davis said, “I am bleeding to
death; run out and call some of the neighbors,”
after which she sank down on the bed a lifeless
corpse. On examination it was fonnd that
some one had ent her throat, and from the na
ture of the wound, it’ is thought that it was
inflicted with a pocket-knife, which was after
wards found in a tub of water in the yard. At
the time the wound was inflicted Mrs. Davis
was sleeping in bed with her two little children.
Her husband was off from home on a fishing
frolic, and the sad news of this tragedy was as
startling as it was nnexpected. No one can ac
count for the diabolical outrage, nor can it be
oven surmised who was the cowardly perpetra
tor of this damnable crime. We learn that steps
have been taken to ferret ont the murderer.
A Jefferson connty correspondent of the Sa
vannah News, of Friday, writes as follows:
On Tuesday evening last, Mr. J. L. Coleman
went to the plantation of Mr. G. W. Brinson to
arrest a freedman by tho name of Bugg Pierce,
who was concealed in a house. Ooleman de
manded admittance, which was refused. He
then forced the door open and entered, when he
was shot by the negro and instantly killed.
Anthony Jenkins, loth, who was to have been
hung for murder at Thomasville, last Friday,
has been respited by Bullock until October 27th.
The Thomasville Enterprise reports caterpil
lar fly on some plantations near that place, and
the worm, in small quantities, on others.
We clip the following from the Houston Home
Journal, of Friday:
Methodist Meeting.—There has been a pro
tracted meeting going on in the Methodist
church since Sunday. Several ladies have gone
to the altar as seekers of religion, bnt the men
havo not moved. They are evidently in no dan
ger and don’t need salvation.
Rains.—Pony and the neighboring country
have been visited with refreshing rains, in the
past few days,- and we hope much good has
been done. We are just now in the condition of
the Texas preacher who prayed for rain and
concluded by saying, “Now, Lord, don’t send
us one or two good showers end then stop, but
give us a regular old drizzle-drozzle for about
three weeks.”
The Constitutionalist, of Friday, says:
The Maoon and Augusta Railroad—A meet
ing of the Board of Directors of this railroad
was called in this city last Tuesday, but a quo
rum not being present, no business was trans
acted. The object of the meeting was to de
cide sometliing definite in regard to the future
control of tho road. We understand that a fast
night train will be placed on the line on or

of Superintendent S. K. Johnson, and could
not possibly be in better hands.
The Albany News, of Friday, has the follow
ing crop paragraph:
Daring the long dry spell proceeding the re
cent rains, planters bad a fine season for gather
ing fodder, and rescuing their cotton from the
grass. Tho silent appeals of the cotton for de
liverance caused a largo proportion of the fod
der to dry upon the stalks ; but the cotton was
proportionally benefit ted, yet the weed is small,
and rnst—lhat most ravenous destroyer of the
staple—has made its appearance m this and
snrronnding counties, and we are reliably in
formed by old practical farmers that one-fourth
crop is as good as con be expected in this sec
tion.
An observer informs ns that he saw last
Monday, a field of some thirty acres on Lock
ett’s turnpike place, from which he think3 a
bale might have been picked at that time. Cot
ton is opening rapidly in other fields in the same
section. Generally, the corn crops in this sec
tion are not good.
We quote these items from the Constitution,
of yesterday;
Special Revenue Assessor.—General Kryz-
nowski, Supervisor of Internal Revenue, has
appointed Adolph Birnbamn as Special or Assist
ant Assessor of Internal Revenue in Atlanta.
Counterfeits.—Postmaster Dunning inform
ed us a few days ago that counterfeit $20 bills
of National currency were coming to this post-
office from points between here and Chatta
nooga. Look ont for them.
The Newnan Herald, of Friday, says:
Dead.—We regret to announce the death of
Dr. Charles A. McKinley, formerly of this
place, who died in Maury county, Tennessee, on
the 2d inst.
A Narrow Escape from Death.—Monday
evening, Mr. A. T. Walker went out to shoot
bats on the wing, and as his gun had been load
ed several days previous, determined to dis
charge and re-load both barrels. In carrying
out this intention the left barrel bursted and a
piece thereof struck his left fore finger, dislo
cated it at the last joint, tore the flesh to the
bone for an inch or more, passed on six or eight
feet further and buried itself in the ground.
The Rev. O. A. Stanley, of La Grange, has
accepted the call of the Church of the Messiah,
at Palaski, Tenn., and will leave for his new
field of labor in October next.
Ex-Governor Brown stated in a speech before
the State Agricultural Convention at Rome, on
Thursday, that 33,000 bales of hay had been im
ported from the West, over the Western and At-
lantio Railroad, alone, within tho last six
mont hs.
A meeting of the stockholders of the Rome
and Colnmbns Railroad was held at Rome on
Friday, and the following officers elected: W.
McDougal, of Columbus, President; W. D.
Chipley, of Columbus, Secretary and Treasurer;
Col. A. J. Lane, Chief Engineer. The Direc
tors are McDougal, Redd and Cheny, of Colum
bus ; Bigbam, of LaGrange; Bunn, of Polk
county; and Griffith and Burns, of Rome.
Warren county shows $951,304 worth of tax
able property for 1871, against $785,425 for
1870, with $128,958 cut off since 1870, and
thrown into tho new connty of McDuffie.
Paper Collars and Dyed Mustaches.—The
Saratoga correspondent of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser tells the following story. A
fair friend of ours avera that she decidedly
agrees with her Northern sister:
A lady refnsed to be introduced to a gentle
man last evening at Congress Hall, and no
amount of urging could induce her to change
her mind.
“What are yonr reasons for not wanting an
introduction ?” urged a friend.
“Because he wears a paper collar and dyes
his mustache," replied the lady; “and leaver
knew a thorough gentleman to do either.”
The lady Was very near the truth. A dyed
mustache is a foul thing—as fool as a cigar in
the mouth of a Venus; and a paper collar is an
evasion of the laundry as culpable as the lady
who chose colored crockery because it would
not show dirt.

In onr Betail Department, we shall offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale, we shall offer at

Which were bought before the late advance, and in which wo can offer great inducement*. w».. „
