Telegraph & Messenger. 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.

Calling a Talbatton “Good Templar” a “coon” is a fighting matter, and causes no end of head- smashing. The Colnmbns Enquirer doesn’t seem to have a great deal of faith in the speedy construction of the Colnmbns and Air-Line Railroad. It ivs: Istobmatiox Wanted —Will Bill Fogle and his confidential friend indulge the extreme con descension to inform us what has become of Mose Plunkitt and his eight hundred men, whom they so assiduously endeavored to gull ns into the belief had arrived to commence work on the Colnmbns and Air-Line! Perhaps the phalanx is one of those flry spiritual hosts which reqnires the eyesight of a’seventh son to dis cern. Berng only the second in the order of lineal descent, we have not been able to find them. 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 fttoot Uao 1o4 «f a»c«i Soptombev. Thfl XO&d 23 doing a fine business under the management 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.
