Telegraph & Messenger. 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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS ACADEMY OF UR L&DY OF THE SACRED HEART.
