Telegraph & Messenger. SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST ”7. 1871. News Hems. Mbs. Cold ton, late Buffenbarger, was honor ably acquitted of tho chargo of poisoning her former sponso yesterday. Montreal is undergoing a thorough conrso of cloansing, and lime and othor disinfectants aro being used liberally by tho authorities in view of tho approach of the cholera. Civil Wan in Spain.—Spain is again on the verge of a civil war. The Carlists were about to cross the frontier and a heavy military force has been dispatched to meet them. Bowen, tho bigamist, has ontcred into a con. test for tho Radical nomination for Governor of South Carolina, and nppears to havo excellent prospects for succeeding. Tho negroes on tho soa coast aro wild for him. 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 istrate, and bis guilt established, but such was tho fury of the people that they strung him up at once. “Macon Evening."—Messrs. Tweed and Gar field of the Metropolitan Hotel, New York, send ns a particular invitation to be there on “Ma con Evening, August 28tb, at eight o'clock. We enn’t bo there, but tender hearty good wishes to host and assembled gaests. 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 ton Board of Heal'h p-uoonced yosterday the 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 eleotions which will be held for Urited States 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 ings and land of the old Oglethorpe University —all are tendered as a gift. Then the city fathers of Milledgeville offer five hundred acres of land. Bnt “a prudent man oonoeaJeth knowl edge,” etc. Jus. 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. Caterpillars in 'West Georgia.—Tho Co lumbus Enquirer is informed by intelligent planters that tbe cotton caterpillars have made their appearance, in large numbers, on planta tions on both sides of the liver just below Co lumbus.

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 corn. The Montgomery Advertiser was shown, on Wednesday, about fifty genuine aimy woims which had been gathered, during a few min uteB' search, from the cotton fields of GoL W. B. Pickett, a few miles son*heast of Montgom ery on the Montgomery and Enfanla Railroad. The Advertiser is informed that they averaged abont six to each stalk of cotton. This is a much ! rger proportion for the first crop than we have ever before known. The Covington Examiner, of Thursday, says after four weeks'drouth, they are having a l*ght rain. The Lnmpkin Telegraph says the railroad meetiDg Saturday, was a decided success. About $12,000 wore added to tbe list, and now only about $15,000 remains to be subscribed, and there are not tho least fears but what it will bo raised very soon. Tax Paxeus' Convention.—Tho Greensboro Herald suggests that a Tax Payers’ Convention of tho State of Georgia bo held in Macon dnring Fair week to consider the alaiming financial condition of the State. Jeff Canault was waylaid and shot by Joe Dur ham in Greene connty last week. Both colored. The Air Line Eigle of Friday rejoices in copious rains after a severe d-outh of several weeks’ drration. The late storm was light in Thomas connty. Tempest in a Teapot.—Atlanta is in a terri ble stew. The Honorable Bloster Fodgett, as we have seen, in accordance with the Gover nor’s order, proceeded to eject the State Rail road Rat3 charged with eating the malt wbioh lay in the House that Jack built. Accordingly 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 posse and went in upon Farrow jnst as he was raking together the books and papers. Farrow was fain to compromise, and agree to tore tbe records over to a third party—Dr. C. L. Red- wine. The Thomaston Herald, of Saturday, has the following: Fatal Accident.—We learn from Mr. G. W. LaDgford, that little Barrel, aged abont five years, son of Mrs. Georgia Minter, a widow lady living near Gordy's mill, in this county, was Wed on Tuesday, 1.7th inst.. by a weighty pole falling from an old house and stiiking him on the head, producing death immediately.

H9 has two mares which have brooght forth twin horse col’s each; another mare, twin male colts, and a cow which has twin calves. The Reporter should be printer enough to know that doublets are yery vexations, some times. The same paper says: Mr. Thomas B.
