Another terrible outrage and murder of a lit
tle white girl by a negro occurred in Arkansas
last week. Tho negro was examined by a mag

A San Francisoo dispatch of tho 22d, says tha* -
Brick Pomeroy and Gen. LaGraDge had a fra.
cas at Oakland, on account of some article in
tho La Crosse Democrat “reflecting on the Gen
eral’s domestic relations." The matter was
however, amicably arranged.
Geoboe H. Ptodleton mado bis first speech
of tho campaign at Loveland, Olro. last Tnos-
day. It was chiefly dovoted to a review of the
recent speeches of Morton, Sherman and Gar-
flold. Ho paid a glowing tribute to the memory
of tho late Mr. Valloud'gham.
A CorPETOEAD.—An eocantrio man of wealth
named Corno’l, recently died in Oxford, N. Y.
and by will d'airherited two daughters who
had married liad'ca's, a"eging that their poli
ties had taxed bis estate as mnch as they would
be ontitled to. The will is contested.
Yellow Fevab in Charleston.—The Charles

exlHteneo of yel'ow fevor ss an epidemic in that
city. Some tb'rty five cases had occurred and
— deaths. The flgore is obsourod by a file
pnnclnro in the paper, and we are nnable to
make it ont satisfactorily.
CoLonro B/ Li, xt Loso Bbansh.—The Sun
rehearses in a coIdtu tho splendou of tbe col
ored waiters’ ba’l at Long Branch last Thurs
day. Tho ladies aro all described as “bra
nettes’’ and their stylo of dropping minntely re
corded. Tho male horo of the occasion was
Grant war not there—bnt why not ?
Heave Wricking.—Tbe New York Snn, in
five oolum-s, proceeds, according to promise,
to show bow tbo steamer Golden Rule was
wrecked, May 30, 1865, on Roncader Reof in
the Caribbean Sea, in order to tcreek the con
tents of a Government s ife on board, contain,
ing $1,162,150.
The Boston Jotrnal, (Rad.) forecasting tbe

Senators daring the next two years, concedes
the eleotlon of Demooratsin the places of Conk-
ling, Morton, Nyo, Rioe, Spencer, Ke’logg, and
Hill, and probably of Cole, Corbett, and Osborn,
all of whose terms expire in 1873.
Cotton Worm in the Mississippi Valley.—
The Now Orleans Picayune of Thursday says
It is now beyond donbt that tho cotton plant,
ere over a large po ion of the Mississippi val
ley will lose abont one-half their crops from tbe
devr itations of tho citerpiJ’ar, end many will
aoAroe be able to save a bale to ten acres under
culture.
Tbe Amiable Cadet Su.tb, who is certainly
a very troublesome “Ward of the Nation," Is
now arraigned for maltreating bis follow negro
cadet. Smith shows that bo is loyal, and recog
nises no distinctions on account of color, race
or previous condition. He amnrhod tbe white
cadets over tbo head, and now, says n dispatch,
“he is hard, tyrannic?’ and overbearing” with
bia negro associate.
Da. Hyt.mbold.—The Now York Com-nerc'al
Advertiser of Wednesday, a’lnding to tbo state
ment of tho Long Branch News that Dr. Helm-
boUl was insane, says:
Dr. Holmbold arrived in town yesterday, and
it is tho opir<on of *ho30 who have soen him,
that ho never looked better in his l ; fe. Far
from being on the verge of inssn'ty, ha is at
tending to b<s business as uiup’, rad shows no
signs of lnnaey.
Cotton Consul pi ion.— Smith, Edwards &
Co.’s last Liverpool Circn’or pntr down con
sumption at 58,000 bales per week, and says
the manufacturers havo accumulated sniplus
stocks amounting to 200,000 bales. Reviewing
tho msnufactu .ing status, it adds:
It therefore seams probable that we are drift
ing towards a cox nmption of 60,000 bales
weakly noxt year, mli s trade br aomes so un
profitable as to reatiiot ousumption, and it
would appear that a crop of three and a half
mil"ons is very neesrsary for the welfare of
Lancashire next yea*, wbUe four mi'Fons would
scaroely produce a glut of cotton.
Wabm.—The Chattanooga Times announces
tho prosonce there of James A. Nisbet and
Jndgo Underwood, representing Georgia’s in
terest in Stanton’s railroad. General Clanton,
representing Alabama, was also there, aud we
see in the Times the following card:
The cowardly crowd of Strnton pimps, cow
ard* and vagabond*, who visit-id the Burns
House Ip it night at the hour of 12, when I was
asleep, aud inquired of the clerk for my room,
aro hereby ir formed that I havo instructed said
clerk that whenever they call in future, at any
honr of tho day or night, to « induct them to
No. 26, where *hey wUl be warmly received.
James H. Clanton.
A Persuasive Wat.—According to the testi
mony before the VeisaPes Com t-martial the
Paris Commune had a very irsinuating and per
suasive way of dea'i'ng. The following, among
other similar incident, was related by Dr. Pny-
moyon, a witness iu tho trial of Assi and Terre :
A young sold'er s is next tiled for the crime
of not joir’ng the Commune; his bands were
bound beb ; nd b's back, and he wpi tor-ured in
the most irhuman mp-uer. “Kneel!” shouted
the chief of thi teassr sins, and the soldier knelt
down. “Get up! pnd he rose. He was then
made to kneel agp'n, and a handkerchief was
tied over h'a eyes and then readjusted, r.nd
finally the poor 'ad was shot, and his body
tossed into a vegetable care amid shouts and
laughter.
Overtaxation.—The pres9 and correspond
ents groan more heavily this fall over exoessive
taxation than at any period sinoe the war. Trade
has settled down to a more normal condition
and gains are small and laborious, while direct
taxation ia, in some localities, equal to five or
8*x por cent, on tax valuations. People used
to say that a man who traded on money bor
rowed at six per cent, would break. What
wonld such people say of taxes aggregating six
per cent, on a man's capital? No people on
oarth can long sustain such taxation, and when
yon add to that direct tax, the average of fifty-
seven per cent, tariff duties, it ia frightful. All
the papers now declare there must no longer be
any hnmbng about tax redaction. Taxes must
come down. Federal taxes may come down,
bnt how abont the taxes due connty, State and
corporation—all staggering down to the hell of
bankruptcy in spite of the enormous levies?
What is going to come of it?
New Dbink.—Tbe Atlanta bar-rooms adver
tise a new drink called Bisn-bo-bim—to be
taken after a suocessfni raid on tbe pnblic finan
ces.
“Wife Harder”—“Hilling a Wile by
Indies'’—“Guilty or Wife JMunIer.”
Tho above aro the captions of throe several
articles in tbe New York World of the 19th
instant, each calculated to curdle the blood with
horror at the recital of crimes so deep and dia
bolical.
Wife murder! Merciful God, who can con
ceive of such a thing? Can man indeed bo
transformed into a demon ? Onr common an
cestor Adam, when monarch of all ho surveyed,
and the inhabitant of Paradise, was adjudged
incomplete in his happiness by his great Arch
itect, until Eve was created from his own bone
and flesh, and made tbe helpmeet of nia exist
ence, and tho partner of his joys and sorrows.
From that day to this the wife has been justly
regarded as infinitely nearer and dearer than
even father, mother, or any other earthly re
lation. Hho alone remains true to her husband,
when friends fall away, and oven gnilt and in
famy attach to his name.
The Bible says tho desire of the woman shall
be nnto her husband. Hence, he is the central
snn, the grand magnet of attraction, the one
idea of the devoted being, who leaves the pa
ternal roof and cast3 in her lot with his.
Can it be possible that man, the stronger ves
sel, the recipient of all his devotion, the natural
hope and stay of his confiding partner, can be
induced to turn hi3 hand against her, and seek
her destruction ?
Bo wonld it appear In these Northern sensa
tional prints. And, alas, shall we chronicle the
fact ? such is the case oftentimes even in this
boasted land of morality and religion.
There are two methods of inflicting misery
and death upon the gentle partners of onr lives.
One is by tho knife or poison of the assassin,
which, thank God, occurs bnt rarely; and the
othor throngh wanton, willfnl neglect, and oon-
jugal infidelity. In cases like these, no coroner
is summoned to make inquest as to the cause of
the catastrophe, and the broken-hearted, blight
ed victims of man’s duplicity can only be
avenged by a just and all-seeing God. Yet oven
in high life, to their shame be it spoken, men
can be found who are false to their marriage
vows, false to the deconcies and proprieties of
life, false to the claims of paternity, and recre
ant to every principle which separates hnmanity
from the brnte creation.
Ont upon such ingrates. Never will society
regain its proper tone and parity, until such
characters are black balled and plaoed under the
ban of social reprobation.
The marriage relation is the highest, holiest
institution, which God has ordained for the
happiness and elevation of the human raoe.
For this reason divorces should never be granted
save in strict obedience to the Divine injunc
tion ; and he who tramples upon the honor and
fidelity of the wife of his bosom, should receive
the ontspokon execrations of tho upright and
virtuous.
A Storm.
Ags'n the predictions of the weather bureau
are verified, and we have had whit is probably
a side issue of the great cyclone travelling from
East Florida northwest. A fierce sontheastly
gale sprung up Friday right at ten o'clock, and
by the wee sma'I hours of Saturday morning
blow almost a hmricano, accompanied with tor
rents of rain. It bis ever since been blowing
a gale—the wind gradually veering round to the
sonlhwe&t. Wo are awpre of no serions dam
age to properly in town, bnt such a blow makes
sleep impossible, cud occasiors a good deal of
anxiety. Saturday was a dirk and threatening
day throughout.
Tlie Cotton Crop.
Tbe disiBtroun news from all quarters will
out down expectations and estimates very low.
The untimely wet weather will greatly facilitate
tho operations of the worm—and snch of tho
crop as escapes the worm will drop the old and
pnt on a new grow.'h too late for maturity.
These tidings must soon bring a rise in quota
tions.
Macon and Western Railroad Freight Dues.
In respect to the complaints mentioned in onr
local colnmns yesterday, that tho Macon and
Western Railroad required payment of freight
before the delivery of goods, Goloael White, tho
President of tho road, says that these have been
his orders ever since he held tho position; bnt
it is true that subordinates have, in some cases,
failed to enforce them (at their own risk,) and t
as he thinks, unwisely. The controot of the
company is to deliver freights in good order,
at the depot, and there is the place whore trans
fers should be made and the responsibility of
the company terminated. The company having
assumed responsibilities for the goods, often
far beyond their own earnings on them, is for-
fectly secure so long as the goods are in ite pos
session. No man will pretend to say that the
company ought to part with this security in all
cases, aud yet to make discriminations is ex
ceedingly unpleasant and offensive. To let
^•eights go on a mere order, is not orly to per-
feit tho security, but to incur risk of misunder
standing and damage from transportation by
dray. The consignee should, therefore, be there
in person or by responsible agent, to see that
the freights are delivered in good order—to re-
oeive them—pay and acquit the company; and
that has been his rn’e.
The Central Road, having deficient accommo
dations, has adopted a different method, and if
extended to the Macon aud Western will be
cheerfully complied with: bnt if gentlemen will
think the matter over, they can hardly fail to
see that the id's of the Macon and Western is
equitable and logical; and that to do away with
it end employ a lunner to collect freights at a
ronnd salary per year would be unjust to stock
holders and incurring a needless expense. We
state the case so nearly as stated, as we know
how to do it. _
“Parties are not Measured by their Plat
forms, but by thus Acts,” says the New Or
leans Picayune. That is tree. Deeds and not
words. The animus of a party is shown by its
history, dealings and associations. The Radicals
can prate aDout me Constitution, state rights,
liberty, economy and pnblio order—but who
heeds or believes their protestations ? Per con
tra, what Southern man would fear to trust Geo,
H. Pendleton, and yet in his late speech in Ohio,
he says:
Put the Democratic party in power. It has
no new promises to make, no newpledges to
give. It will remember its organization and its
traditions, its principles and policy »s they have
been proclaimed in resolntions and illustrated
in praotice. It will reform abuses; it will pun
ish corruption; it will restore purity to legis
lation and honesty to administration; it will be
jnst to the public creditor and honest to tbe tax
payer; it will pay the debt in tbe manner and
at the time promised. It will forbid a'l usur
pations of power. It will maintain constitutional
government. It wiU. obey; it will exact from
all obedience to the Constitution and to au the
amendments. It will restore self-government
to all the States, and bring abont an era of har
monious union, of real prosperity, of true liberty.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : “A hyp-
pocrit with his month destroyeth his neighbor,
but throngh knowledge shall the jnst be deliv
ered.” So “Practical Farmer” blazes forth on
Milledgeville, but conclusively shows his want
of information. Milledgeville has the Old Cap
itol buildings, and, tree to her trust, she says to
tbe people of Georgia, forget not that which is
thine own. Then oome citizens, and the build

THE VKUKVIA I’ltLSS.
Tbe Savannah Republican gives the following
report of the bard experience of the steamship
City of Houston, which at last pnt into Fernan-
dina, as has been telegraphed:
The steamer City of Honston, 1,220 tons,
Captain Partridge, of the Galveston and Key
West line, which left New York on the 12th
instant, er countered a severe hurricane on the
night of Wednesday, the 16th instant, while off
Cape Canavaral. All sails were blown away,
tiller ropes parted, and so muchwater was ship
ped as by 2 a y. of the 17ih to pnt ont the fur
nace fires and render tho ship helpless. A party
of fifty-nine men-of-wars men, under command
of several experienced naval officers, being on
board as passengers, they were set to work to
bail out the fire-room and work the bilge pump.
Fires were staitsd under the donkey boiler by
breaking np bn'k heads in the cabin, and the
water reduced sufficiently to start fireB under
the only aveilable main boiler, the other having
broken adrift.
At C o'clock a. m. , 17th, the foremast was cut
away to bring the ship to the wind, and permit
of shoving np the boiler; at 5 p. m., the engine
was started, bnt after working off shore for an
hour or two, tho steam pipe cracked, owing to
the rolling of sh : p, and fires were hauled. Dur
ing the night, tbe wind still blowing a moderate
gale from the sonthep -t, thajsecond boiler broke
adrift, leaving tbe ship helpless, until the night
of tho 19th, when the wind and sea moderating,
the boilers and rudder were secured, the steam
pipe packed and the ship headed for Fernandi-
na, which was, by observation, then abont 53
miles southeast, where she arrived at 2 p. ir.,
20th.
The Drowning of Conductor Roddey, noted
in onr last, is thns explained by the Republi
can:
It appears that Conductor Roddey was en
gaged with Superintendent Haines in repairing
the bridge over the Great Ogeechee, which had
sustained some damage in tbe laBt storm, when
his pocket book dropped into the river. He
immediately threw off his clothes, swam after
and recovered it, bnt in returning, without the
slightest suspicion of danger among those who
were present, he suddenly disappeared and
never rose again. He gave no indications of
dpnger, and whether drawn under by the cur
rent or disabled by cramp, is unknown. The
entire party were astounded by tho terrible and
unexpected event, and no opportunity wes of
fered to save him.
The First Battalion of the “National
Guard,” to regulate the Georgia election, turned
out in Savannah on Thursday. The News re
ports the event thns:
A number of ragged negroes idled away yes
terday afternoon on the Louisville road, by
diii'ing in militpiy facings and filings. They
were about as dirty a Jook ; ug set of loafers as
con’d be picked in a day’s journey, and had
every appoBrance of first-class cb'ckencatchers.

Ala., on Wednesday afternoon, in which he re

The Catebpilur.—Tho Columbus Sun, of
the same date, says: “That caterpillars aro
eating up the cotton crop in the OswicheeBend,
is no longer a question of donbt, bnt a sad re
ality. They have gone through a one hundred
acre field of one of the largest planters in that
rich section. Others are suffeiing from their
ravages. The reports come from the most re
liable farmers. We have conversed with sev
eral gentlemen who have rich plantations in
Barbour county, Ala. They have not suffered
from any rruse other than that of weather;
yet one of the wealthiest arnorg them said he
wou'd now tske ba'f a crop for I's cotton and

The Montgomery Advertiser was shown, on
Wednesday, about fifty genuine aimy woims

The Advertiser is informed that they averaged

Tempest in a Teapot.—Atlanta is in a terri

when book keeper McCal'j aproximated his of
fice next morning, behold a man at the door
and in that man’s hand a hoss pistol fourteen
inches in length. “Approaoh and I will blow
yon through,” said the man with the hoss pis
tol. McOalla turned away ia disgust, bnt it oc
curring to him that the books and papers had
fallen into worse hands than his own, and might
be doctored and fixed np, yon know, he took
counsel of one of those sods of Belial—a lawyer—
who forthwith direoted Patrick O’Murphy, of
the Royal Irish Police Brigade, to ajsault and
vanquish Blodgetts’ horsepistol foroe. Blod
gett, however, flanked this movement by in
stalling Attorney General Farrow in the office,
tjehind the man with horse pistoL Bat then it
was that the strategic talents of O’Mnrphy
shone like a new bra is kettle. He snmmoned a

was fain to compromise, and agree to tore tbe
