TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 29, 1871.
News Items.
Sunday's dispatches report numerous and
fatal wrecks on the East Florida coast in the
cyclone of Friday night. It is also reported
that the hurricane was yery soycre and destruo-
tiye in Middle Florida, especially abont Talla
hassee. Wo hope this is a mistake.
Friqutjt ul Accident.—A horrid railway acci
dent occurred last Saturday night seven miles
from Boston, in which an express train, at full
speed, run into the rear of an accommodation
train just starting, crushing all tho cars up to
the very last one of the accommodation. To
add to the horrors of the situation, tho wreck
took fire and at the same lime the engine of tho
express train exploded, deluging the mangled
victims with steam and hot water. Some sixty
persona were killed, mutilated, burnt or scalded.
Abkakbas, the banner cotton State of this
year, begins to cave before drouth and worms.
The worms are sweeping Texas. All this means
probably a crop of abont two and a half million
bales.
Yellow Fever at Charleston.—Only three
now cases are reported since Friday. We are
inclined to believe that the yellow fever in
Charleston is confined to a few filthy localities,
and is due to local causes which can soon be re
moved. A little cleaning and chloride of lime,
we hope, will bring the disease to a panso. When
wo remember that Charleston has been so far,
and will be, until next November, a moro satur
nalia of free niggorism—tho hot bed of filth
and vice, it is a wonder they have not had every
disease which could be superinduced by squalor
and degradation.
The Cotton Crop of 1870 footed up last Fri
day, 4 ,002,461 bales. It is generally believed
that what is called the overland cotton—that is
to say, cotton which found its way direct to
Northern mills by railwny transportation,
(which, in 1870, amounted to 120,000 bales.)
will, this year, overgo 300,000. Thon to the
crop must be added the consumption of the
Southern mills—lost and burned, etc., and the
opinion is that the crop year, which closes next
Thursday night, will show not much short of
4,500,000 bales. We think it possible that the
crop of 1871 will be 2,000,000 bales short of
that figure ; but we shall see. Meanwhile, tho
stocks of cotton on hand make this exhibit:
1871.
At all ports 105,829
Interior towns 12,790
Liverpool 604,000
Afloat 632,925
1,355,544 1,112,541
Showing on excess this year, up to Friday night,
of 243,003 bales.
Butler hold a baptizing in Springfield last
Thursday, and poured red hot lava on the beads
of bis foes. The serenity of Massachusetts
Radicalism is gone, and by this time there are
a hundred letters travelling to New Orleans in
quest of evidence of tho extent of Butler’s thefts
in that city. The great iron-clad made a direct
and fierce onslaught upon Radical administra
tion in that State, showing that thoy had piled
up 8tate expenses from $798,000 in 1860, to
$1,720,000 in 1870, and that corruption and ex
travagance ran wild in that hallowed and model
State. The spectacle of Bntler reproving dis
honesty was sublime and powerful. But he is
a can of living nitroglycerine in the Radical
ranks, and therefore let him explode.
Helmbold.—The Commercial Advertiser is
informed that Helmbold was never in better
health and spirits. His prospects are bright,
and ore long the great advertiser will shine
moro brilliant than over. With Helmbold, there
^s no such word as fail.
The Italian procession in New York on
Thursday got wet - very wot. The triumphal
flags trailed like wet clothes on a bad washing
day. Tho maidens fair who carried and waved
them, quit the business, for tho flags would not
wave; and, besides, the wavers felt the cold
water trickling down into their shoes. After a
brief spell of this kind of fun, thoy waived the
fun in favor of hot whisky toddies and dry
flannels. However, they had processed and felt
bettor.
Longfellow.—How fickle is fortune! how
deceitful is flattering hope! how treacherous is
human exaltation. The groat Longfellow re.
tires—lame, beaten and discomStted—in fact a
shortfellow. But poor old John Harper was
worse lamed still. The Commercial Advertiser
says old John was so stunned by the defeat that
he oonld not speak. He did not even hear the
ten thousand shouts which heralded tho unex
pected triumph of Helmbold. He had lost $40,.
000 on the race, and moro than that on the value
of his horse. But he had lost more than all in
wounded pride, and in tho downfall of his favor
ite. The Reporter says:
To me the race was a funeral and a wedding,
While the old man's heart was breaking, ten
thousand people were wild with joy. I conld
not rejoico. I only saw. and hoped, and suffered
with the white-haired old man by my side.
“The Syndicate”—a collection of English
brokers, who are 6having Bontwell's new paper,
nre very elaborately defined from the Greek
Sundikos, a judge, and hence the Latin Syndi-
eus. Thfs is all very well—but to our mind tho
term is only a corruption of the word Singecat.
Thoy are Singecats, and Boutwell and the New
York Radicals, are as proud because they will
condescend to take American L O. Us. as poor
old Micawber used to be when he adjusted his
pecuniary obligations in the same manner.
District Senatorial Convention-—
Wednesday instead ol Saturday.
Forsyth, Ga., August 28, 1871
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: On ar
riving hero I have ascertained that Monroe and
Pike counties expected the Senatorial Conven
tion to meet here on Wednesday, the 30th in
stant, as suggested by the Advertiser, and con
enrred in by yourselves in one of your issues
last week. Will you please notify the delegates
from Bibb, so that thoy may come up Wednes
day instead of Saturday ?
Yours very truly,
T. J. Simmons.
Non-Tax Paying Voter*.
Tho New York Observer and other like papers
of Republican proclivities are peculiarly solemn
over the alleged municipal frauds in New York,
and they demand in the name of justice and
right, that the State shall again take away the
right of municipal self-government from the
city of New York. And why? Because, say
thoy, reckless Democratic partizans are kept in
power by the votes of the Irish, who neither
know nor care anything abont tbo consequences.
Few of them have any property or pay any
taxes. Their interests lie in supporting extrav
agant expenditure, because it furnishes many
of them with employment, and the tax payers
are, therefore, literally ground to powder be
tween the upper and nether mill-stones of a dis
honest administration maintained in power by
an ignorant and irresponsible constituency.
In respect to the actual facts in the case, we
do not doubt that the present municipal admin
istration of New York is the best one that city
has bad for many years; and that the frauds
complained of are in fact tho direct result of
tho proconsular system which those papers seek
to revive.
But if we admit tho justice of their com
plaints, then we say let these men stop their
mouths, for the evils they groan abont are pre
cisely what they have deliberately inflicted on
the Southern States. The situation they describe
is our situation—out’s because thoy deliberately
inflicted it upon ns; and if, in the order of
Providence, the poisoned chalice is commended
to their own lips, we cannot grieve. Does it
become theso noisy self-righteous champions
of “universal suffrage,” to groan over their own
medicine? Nay, verily. Lot them swallow it—
hold their peace and abide tho consequences.
A Catalogue ol Horrors.
Our paper to-day chronicles three terrible
catastrophes—involving the killing and wound
ing of nearly 300 human beiDgs. The railway
catastrophe near Boston, most horrible and in
excusable, is alluded to elsewhere. That was
scarcely in type before tho noon dispatches
came to hand with two more, not less deplora
ble. One of theso occurrod Monday morning
on tho Erio Road in the collision of a mail and
freight train, moving at a joint speed of fifty-
throo miles an honr. Six were killed and a long
list of wounded is reported.
Next, all the horrors of tho Westfield are re
vived in the explosion of the Snnday Excursion
Steamer at Point Clear, noar Mobile, in which
fifty to sixty were killed and wounded. Surely
American passenger transportation will become
a by-word and a hissing throughout civilization
if this wholesale murder cannot be brought to
a pause.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
No Gale rs Brunswick.—From the Appeal of
Saturday, we see that they have had hardly a
whiff of wind—not enough to blow down a rot
ten fence. Is Brunswick too slow for the wind
to blow there ?
Amebicus and Hawkinsville Railroad.—
The Sumter Republican of Saturday says the
corporators of this road would meet in that city
on that day. The building of the road is a fixed
fact. The Republican learns “that the com
pany Mr. Hazlehumt represents has bought out
the Vicksburg and Eufanla Railroad, paying
over $GOO,OO0 cash, for that portion of tho
woik already completed. If this be true thero
need be no fears entertained that the junction
of the Macon and Brunswick and the Vicksburg
and Enfaula Roads will not be effected.”
In Columbus, the storm was lively on Friday
night, knocking trees and fences about and, as
the Sun thinks, greatly injuring crops.
The Snn says the three flouring and grist mills
in Colnmbns annually consume abont 100,000
bushels of wheat and 60,000 bnshels of com.
The flour and meal thoy produce are equal to
the best in the land.
The Snn promises good trade this fall and
winter. They will receive abont 55,000 instead
of 75,000 bales of cotton, and get more for it—
getting from 20 to 25 cents for middlings. This
year the average of middlings for the months in
Columbus were as follows: September, 14 5-11
October, 13J; November, 14 1-5 ; December,
13$; January, 13J; February, 1319-32; March,
13 1-20; April, 13$; May, 14 3-10; June 14 9-32;
July, 14 60-96; August thus far, 16 5-12.
Wo judge from tho Columbus papers that the
woods all around there aro thick with railroad
surveying parties and negroes spado in hand.
Turning up so ranch earth will make it sickly,
and besides a little of the surface should be left
for agricultural purposes. The shade trees
abont Columbus are full of worms, and they
talk about applying vormifuge. The Eagle &
Phoenix mills are having a high run with their
cotton blankets. Orders poor in from East,
West, North and South, and Friday they got an
order for 300 pairs from Mexico.
That big cotton crop in Texas is likely fail.
The Sun says that on Friday one of their largest
commission merchants had received a telegram
from Texas which gives the information that
the caterpillar is immensely damaging the cot
ton crop. They commenced on the coast and
are moving into tho interior in an army. Tho
crop is reported ent off one-third in the State.
The telegTam comes from a reliable source.
The Rome Conrier has tho following:
Sad.—We have received the painful intelli
gence that Mrs. Martha Bums, the estimable
mother of Maj. Jno. T. Burns, died very sud
denly at her residence, in Dirt Town Valley,
Chattanooga county, on the night of the 24th
inst. She retired to bed in her usual health
and the next morning her family was shocked
to find her dead. Her death was evidently the
effect of heart disease, to which she was sub
ject.
The plaoe for the Agricultural School is Dah-
louega. The Last Mountain Signal says:
Chickens, butter and eggs are now in great
demand here. Chickens, 15; eggs, 12$; butter,
The
Cotton Crop—Alleged Falling
Off of 75 per cent!
The Louisville Courier-Journal of Saturday
has a Washington special of the 25th, which
says: •
Late advices received at the Agricultural De
partment from several cotton-growing States,
are to the effect that the crop is almost a fail
ure. The falling off is about 75 per cent., as
compared with last year. The army worm has
made its appearance in some sections where the
crop was fair, and ruined hundreds of acres of
it. Advices from the Louisiana sugar-growing
districts nre more encouraging, and the yield is
estimated at 250,000 hhds. In Virginia and
Maryland the corn and tobacco crops have been
injured by the drought, and the yield will be
nothing like as great as was anticipated a few
weoks ago.
That is piling on the agony too strong. We
reckon tho correspondent meant 25 per cent,
which would be about as far the other way.
Suppose we say fifteen hundred to two million
bales short, and let it rest there.
H. I. Kimball Sailed fob Europe.—The Af
lanta Son notices that Mr. Kimball sailed for
Europe on the ICth. Contracts for railroad
iron!
We see that Mr. L. W. Trout and Mias Eliza
beth Pigs were married in Knoxville, the other
dsy. They ought to live comfortably.
20.
These are the only three lines we ever read in
a Georgia paper which looked like farming.
The same paper has the following:
Visitors.—People of all sorts aro continually
passing through the city to the Porter Springs,
and Mr. Besser has had quite a respectable
number of visitors during the week.
Killed—Rumor has it here, that Mr. Bob.
Latham, of Hall county, killed two Federal sol
diers the other day in White county, who at
tempted to search his wagon. About the time
Bob. done hi3 killing the company to which the
soldiers belonged came along and sent Bob. to
bis long borne.
The Weather.—There has been frequent
showers passing abont the last week, and wo
have fell heir to our portion, which has tfaced
our turnip patches, gardens, etc., in a growing
and prosperous condition. The days are warm
and the nights very cook The corn crop, as a
general thing, is getting along very well and
we aro hopeful of a much better yield than be
fore the mins set in.
The Cuthbert Appeal has the following upon
erops in Randolph county:
It is generally believed, as far as we can as
certain, that if the seasons should be propitious
the balance of the time, and no frost should ap
pear until about the 1st of next June, this sec
tion may count on at least half a crop of cotton.
Otherwise, we would not feel safe in predicting
more than about three-sixteenths of a crop.
Dougherty is ahead of us, since the Albany News
reports a prospect of five-eights.
The Gale in Atlanta.—The True Georgian
says the gale burst on that city shortly after
midnight on Friday, and awnings, sign-boards
and chimneys suffered, but no serious damage
was done.
All the prisoners except four in the Bartow
oounty jail escaped on the night of the23dinst.,
about 10 o’clock, it is supposed, by sawing
through the floor and digging UDder the wall.
It is supposed that they must have worked
nearly a week before they accomplished their
design. How they obtained tools, and by whom
assisted, if assisted they were, no one knows.
The fonr who remained in the jail could have
made their escape if they had wished to do so;
in fact, one of them did get out, and went to
the jailor’s house to inform him of the other
prisoners’ escape. Their time having nearly
expired, we presume they thought they would
remain and “tough it out.”
Return of Governor Bullock.— The Atlanta
Sun announces the return of Governor Bullock
Snnday eveniDg.
The same paper says:
Yesterday officer Kendrick returned to this
city bringing with him Mr. James Mullins,
whom he arrested somewhere below Macon, and
Mr. W. R. D. Millar, of Savannah, arrested in
that city. Both are charged with complicity in
the State Road frauds and peculations, and, we
understand, will have a hearing before Judge
HopkinB this morning at the City HalL
Mr. Millar is accompanied by his wife, and is
stopping at the Kimball House. Both he and
Mullins are in the custody of the officers.
A REMARKABLE STORY.
Two Hundred Skeletons of Annktm in
Caylifro Township—A Singular Discovery
—Sonic Remains of tlic Giants That Were
in those Days.
Correspondence Toronto Telegraph.]
Cayuga, August 21. — On Wednesday last
Rev. Nathaniel Wardell, Messrs. Orin Wardell,
(of Toronto), and Daniel Fredenbnrg, were dig
ging on the farm of the latter gentleman, which
is on tho banks of the Grand River, in the town
ship of Cayuga. When they got to five or six
feet below the surface a strange sight met them.
Piled in layers, one upon top of the other, were
two hundred skeletons of human beings nearly
perfect—around the neck of each one being a
string of beads. There wore also deposited in
this pit a number of axes and skimmers made
of stone. In the jaws of several of the skele
tons were large stono pipes—one of which Mr.
Wardell took with him to Toronto a day or
two after this Golgotha was unearthed.
These skeletons are those of men of gigantic
statnrs, some of them measuring nine feet, very
few of them being less than seven feet. Some
of the thigh bones were found to be at least
half a foot longer than those at present known,
and one of tho skulls being examined, complete
ly covered tho head of an ordinary person.
These skeletons are supposed to belong to those
of a race of people anterior to the Indians.
Some three years ago the bones of a mastadon
were found embedded in the earth abont six
miles from this spot. The pit and its ghastly
occupants aro now open to the view of any who
may wish to make a visit there.
LATER.
Dunntille, August 22.—There is not the
slightest doubt that the remains of a lost city
are on this farm. At various times within the
past year the remains of mud-houses with their
chimneys had been found; and there are dozens
of pits of a similar kind to that just nnearthed,
though much smaller, in the place which has
been discovered before, though the'fact has not
been made public hitheito. The remains of a
blacksmith’s shop, containing two tons of char-
coal and various implements, were turned up a
few months ago. The farm, which consists of
150 acres, has been cultivated for nearly a cen
tury, and was covered with a thick growth of
pine, so that it mnst have bcarnages ago since
the remains were deposited there. The skulls
of the skeletons are of an enormous size, and of
all manner of shapes, abont ha*f as large again
as are now to be seen. The teeth in most of
them are still in an almost porfect state of pre
servation, though they soon fall out when ex
posed to the air. It is supposed that there is
gold or silver in la r go quam ties to be found in
the premises, as mineral rods have invariably,
when tested, pointed to a certain spot and a few
yards from where the last batch of skeletons
was found, directly under the apple tree.
Some large shells, supposed to have been used
for holding water, which were e’so found in the
pit, were almost petrified. There is no doubt
that were there a scheme of exploration carried
on thoroughly the result would be highly inter
esting. A good deal of excitement exists in the
neighborhood, and many visitors call at the
farm daily. The skulls and bones of the giants
are gast disappearing, beiDg taken away by cu
riosity hunters. It is the intention of Mr.
Fredenbnrg to cover the pit up very sood. The
pit is ghastly in the extreme. The farm
skirted on the north by the Grand River. The
pit is close to the barks, but marks are thero
to show where the gold or silver treasure is sup
posed to be under. From the appearance of
the skulls it would seem that their possessors
died a violent death, as many of them were
broken and dinted. The axe3 are shaped like
tomahawks—small, but keen instruments. The
beads are all of stone, and of all sizes and
shapes. The pipes are not unlike in shapo the
cutty pipe, and several of them aro engraved
with dogs’ heads. They have not lost their vir
tue for smoking. Some peoplo profess to be
lieve that tho locality of Fredenbnrg Farm was
formerly on Indian burial place, but the enor
mous stature of the skeletons, and tho fact that
pine trees of centuries’ growth covered tho spot,
go far to disprove this idea.
Gnors in Lee.—A letter from Mr. G. M.
Stokes to Jonathan Collins A: Son, dated at
Wooten Station, on Saturday, says that rust is
at work in that county, together with boll worm
and caterpillar. The writer also complains of
stormy woather in the past three days, the effect
of which he thinks must be disastrous.

PATENT EXCELSIOR COTTON GIN
F OR the past forty years I have been engaged in
the manufacture of Cotton Gins, and have set
to work on plantations, and have Been in operation
hundreds of Gins, and have no hesitancy in pro
nouncing this the BEST WORKING GIN I ever
saw. It ruDS light—gins fast—does not injure the
cotton—impossible to break the roll—no use for
self-feeders—and no trouble to feed. The commit
tee at tho late Bibb County Agricultural Fair, being
so weU satisfied of its superiority over anything
they ever saw, awarded me the premium. I am
now prepared to furnish any one in want of a Gin.
