Ho was paid in I8C!) and 1870 for work dono from 1801 up, cf a varied nnd extensive character which ho explains. 1I« snj s, however, that one of ilia warrant* for 8800,000 in his narno, in a forgery. An Injudicious Fkiend —The Ohio States man charges that alter tho failure, in tho Fortieth Congress, to pass the bill raising the President's salary to $ 10,000, an eminent Ohio Congressman congratoLted the President elect upon liavingoaved the President and party from aoandal by a defeat of the loll; but found thut he was barking np the wroug tree. The General was very grtiui upon tho subject aud has been a bittor personal enemy of that Ohio Congress man ever since. I ni: Si n says tho negroes of the South, since emancipation, have shown a groat disposition to unite themselves in secret societies, to which they are fund of giving Scriptural names, such as Good SamaritsnH and Fishermen of Galilee. It is quite amnaiug to read that an nnmly mob of blacks who a few days ago stormed the jail at Danville, Virginia, in Ihe hope of effecting the rescue of a pick-pocket of their own color who was incarcerated there, was composed en tirely of Good Samaritans. Gun Buckner's Cnic ioo Fortune —Just one one week before the first tiro broko out at Chi cago, lint is to say on the 30:b of September hunt, the Supreme Court of Illinois rendered a decision that gave lo Mrs. Buckner, wife of Gen. 8. B. Buckner, of Kentucky, property in tho heart of Chicago valued at $1,000,000, and which was destroyed last Sunday or Monday. The land, of course, remains, but tho immense snperadded value of tho buildings upon it has disappeared Tue United States Vamjuisue».—What the “Southern ltelwla" failed lo do, after five years of effort, ha* been accomplished in the old North Btate by that potent Ku klux negro, Henry Barry Lowery, who has kept llabeson and adjacent counties in an uproar for six months, and mur dered many uitizen*. Tho United Stales troops sent to apprehend Lowery and his Rang have given up the chase, and were withdrawn from the field last Monday, leaving Lowery master cf the situation. A Civil Rights Question.—Wilmington, N. 0., is agitated by a great civil rights case, brought up by tho refnssl of the "Globe Sa loon to honor the colls of five darkle* of fash ion for drinks. Tho ease has been mado np by the arrangement and with a special viow to test the rights of "da colored gammon" to drink where the whites do. There was a drinking shop for the colored people kept by one of their own oolor right aloLg side of the "saloon” in question. The negroes wfd find this attempt to ooeroe association with the whiles a very un availing and unprofitable business. The Most Cexis Tunnel.—A Herald corre spondent hos traversed the great Mont Cenis Tunnel. The distance is seven and a half miles, und is made in twenty minutes. He says: The heat increase* rapidly until the train rMOUM the centre. The smoke and vapor make it neoegsary to keep the carriage window* closed. But it is not to he imagined that the science which pierced tho mountain will not soon be found equal to the removing of these inconve niences. The tunnel was commenced on both ends in Angus*, 1837, and the average progress was about nine feet a day. On the 7th November, last, the patties came within hearing of their mutual blasts, and on the 22d December they met. So perfect was the engineering that the deflection amounted to lest than twenty-seven inch**. The French end was that much too high. Tue Western Froieu Fires —The reports of the prairie and forest fires in the Western papers are marvellous. The fires have been extensive and disastrous in Wisconsin, Minnes ota, Michigan, Nebraska, Dakota and also in Oneida oouuty, New York. In Wisoonsin they have swept an area of abont 3,000 square miles, destroying Umber, grass, crops, fanoes and many of the houses, mill* * n a villages in that vast spaoe. Unfortunately, too, a good many livou have been lost and the tales of distress and ruin are piteous. Whole counties have been ■wept in Minnesota, and less extensive,bnt fright ful destruoUon has been sustained in the other States. Tne whole population has been fighting the fires; and they bavo died oat generally These •arioaa calamities are due to excessive drouth aud the drouth is charged to be the result of U-e extensive destruction of timber in that re- tfon. Whatever may be the cause, the liibiUly to u yearly visitation of such terrible oonflagra- tion. make, homestead* mid residence, in that rtgton perilous affairs. En "*°* :ct G “**--We print in this edition from The Plantation, * vary Intareating article on exterminating not grass by oh.de, through the instrumentality of clover. W« have here the details cleverly written, of a very interest ing and successful experiment—full of enoour. agement to all who have lands rendered practi cally worthless lor genera! cropping by this pest, iferous grass. Any crop which will completely overshadow this grass, will (as wo behove) finally destroy it. Clover, turnips, the small grains, and pcis broadcast in proper rotation, will no donbt subserve the same purposes as clover, should lUo land bo ill-adapted to clover, as is tho case with sandy soil. Woman Slanderers. The Lynchburg Republican has an article on this sabjeet which shonld be publiahed by every newspaper in the oountry. We do not reoollect ever having aeon so much that no fully coincides with our own viewa on the subject, put in so few words. The writer starts out with the proposi tion that regarded from an ethical point of view, the moot insignificant creature upon God's globe is the man who traduces a woman. If he does it to gratify a last of revenge, be is a coward; if gratuitously, he is contemptible. There is no outlet for escape; it is a clear and unequiv ocal proposition. He classifies male slanderers under three beads, or rather as influenced by one ef three cause a: Difference of social station, jealousy, and lisfiled Inst—the last the most dastardly of alL To the base mind, a pure woman is eimply an easy victim. In the logie of inch men, the pnrity of a woman and the facility of her de stination bear relation to each other in • direct proportion. And proportion is disturbed, when the woman proves no victim; the transition of lost to bate is as inevitable as the transition of the chrysalis into the glow worm, Ilato, as an abstraction, recoil* upon the hater alone; but it becomes a terrible entity, fatal to its victim, when it* weapon is a bad man’s tongue. Competing with the last named class of slan derers for pre-eminence in meanness, comes the creature who never originates a slander hinudf. Oh no, not he! He is merely an eager listener and a delighted exaggerative repeater. All ho want* in to hear one word whispered against a woman, and his fonl imagination supplies de tails to which hi* venomous toDgue hastens to give circulation. These creatures are possibly the guiltiest of all, for they give vitality to false hoods that probably otherwise would die in their birth, and send them myriad-winged into tho world. Find a slanderer of this description, and to his evil deftness in this branch of meanness add a skill in, and an appetite for concocting lying anonymous letters, ami the incarnation of infamy is found. Who does not know one or morn of these wretches, and where the commu nity that they do not poison with their fonl presence ? Till* UKORVIA 1'KK.NN. Among other jowcls, Augusta boosts .»,C10 school children, of which number 3,245 are white, and 2,383 black. For tho week ending October Olb, there wero 18 deaths at Savnnnah. Tho Chronicle and Kantinel of Wcdnosdey, toy* = ,, , Cotton in Jefnerson.—"C., on esteemed correspondent at No. 11, Central Railroad, writ.* ns that cotton crops in that section arc f*r behind last year’* crops. To show the cor rectness of this, ear correspondent states that from U.irtow—ono of tho largest shipping sta tions on the railroad—tho shipments from tbo 1 st to tho 30th of September, 1870, omonnted to 718 bales. Shipment* for the same period this year foot np 100 holes—showing n decreaso of 510 halos. The Western Union Telegraph Company an nounces a groat rodnetion in its rates from 8a- vannah to tbo principal Northern cities, as well as lo Baltimore, Richmond, Charleston, etc. Tho British hark Montreal arrived nt Savan nab, from Liverpool, on Monday, willi a largo and exceedingly miscellaneous cargo, in which cotton ties, bottled beer, jewelry. steel roils, hardware, porcelain clocks, nnd earthenware were prominent. A correspondent of the Valdosta Times makes the following suggestion, in sn articlo on farm- ors sticking to their businoFB: While it is not my purpose to dictate lo the agricultural society of the State, yet I think it would not be improper to effer a premium at the coming Fair in Macon for a dozen first- cl.iss farmers, who have sold their farms snd slock Kiuca tho war and made a fortnne mer chandizing. I would, as an hnmlde individual, certainly contribute something towards carrying out the undertaking. The same paper says: Wo are reliably informed that during the heavy rains seme weeks ago, in Ware county, that the water in low sections was so high as to go three fret into tho door of an inhabited resi dence. This is no Orange County hoax, hut a substantial fact. It is said that there will not be five bales of cotton made in the connty. Tho marriage of Miss Tiffin McDougald and Mr. It SI Norman was the event in the social world of Columbus, on Tuesday. The Colnmhns Sun tell* this story: How rr Wonx* —The right of way Ihrongh Harris connty h»s been grapted in writing to ibo North and South Road. When the survey or* were locating the lino Ihoy would not decide definitely upon aDy route until this way bnsi- wis settled One gentleman asseverated be would not yield an inch unless for an enormous rum. The line wonld have to be built through Ins land, hut be did not want it there, it wou'd nun it, and the company must pay heavily. This was reported to Major Wood. He said not a word, hut commenced a survey which ran lliree or four miles from the grumbler’* planta tion. The owner wont immediately oyer and insisted nnd begged, that if the road came throngh his Und, bX might be allowed to give the right ot way, and to show ho was in earnest he signed a prepared paper on tho spot. Tho linn is oyer his land. The Savannah Advertiser, of Tuesday, ha* this about the race for the championahip nt the coming regatta: “Contingent ventures” are already being made on the result of the championship race at M»con. the Couper club lx>at thus far having the call. We have heard of one bet of one hnndred dollars to fifty dollars on this boat against the field The condition of the cream tea day* hence may materially change the or der of thiDga, however. The Macon boys have assigned the Savannah crews as guests of the different elubs in that city during their visit. The Forest City Club will he taken care of by tho Umpires of Macon; the King Cotton by tho "ltolfs,” and the Conper Club by the Rail road Combination Club. Altogether a very pleasant time is anticipated, nnd some very ex- citing race*. A delegation of boating men and their friends will go up from this oity. It is also reported that the irrepressible and undis mayed Brnnswicks boats will put in an appear ance ; and, also, that a boat from Now Orleans will enter the lists. The Eatonton Press and Messenger, of Tues day, ssyg ; Homicide.—On Tuesday evening lust, about four o'clock, a difficulty occurred lielwecn Mr. Marion Spivey and young Dan Claiborn, result- lug in the death of the former, by a pistol shot from the hands of the latter. It appears that Mr. Spivey assaulted Claiborn with abnsivo lan guage, and threats, and finally picked up a rock and threw it at him, wberenpon Mr. C. commenced firing, and continued until he had emptied a small six sho- ter, the last two shots taking effect, the one in the left arm and shoul dor, the other entering the leftside, producing death instantly. John and Bad McCarthy and Ez-kiol Mathew* were arrested a few days since for placing ob structions on the Air-Line Railway track, be tween Dnluth and Norcrose, on tbe 29th of Sep tember. Two of them have since turnod State’s evidence. Commenting upon an intimstion in the Era that the State Rood prosecutions amounted to a fiWce and “wonld end in smoke,” tbe Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, says: What ha* really been done, so far, is the ar resting and binding over to court of the follow ing persona: L P. Harris, N. P. Hotchkiss, 3. W. Wren, Jamee Mullins, W. D. R. Miliar, J. C. Alexander, Joseph Fry and Foster Blodgett— all, exoept two cf theee. upon the affidavit of Major C. P. HcGoUa. We have seen a list of over twenty names whose eases, with specific charges, will be presented to the Grand Jury— the result of which we shall see. We arein- olined to tbe opinion that there is not much farce in it The Csrtersville Standard, of Wednesday, says it is estimated that the farmers of Bar tow connty lost oTer $200,000 by the failure of the wheat crop this year. Many of them had sown wheat to the exclusion of almost all other crops. ** Hilliard Horne, a son of Rev. J. H. Horae, of Hawkinsrille, died last Sunday. The Hswkinsville Dispatch says: Scqrb Cone.—From all accounts the cone crop will be moat abundant in this section, the season haring been very propitious throughout the year. Telfair, Wilcox and Irwin counties, cultivate cane extensively, and find it a more profitable product than either cotton or oorn. Many Pulaski farmers, who have heretofore bought their suppliee of syrup at $1 per gslion, have this year grown cane, and are gratified at their efforts. , CocxTBY Produce —There is a great scarcity of eggs, butter and chickens in this market. These articles were once a poor man’s luxuries, but they are so high now that it requires a tall man and a fat pocket book to get even a smell. Ergi are selling at 33 oenta a dozen, chickens 25 oenta a piece, if Urge enough to crow, and butter sells for 23 cents per pound without any questions being asked as to "its age or previous condition." A dairy and poultry farm might he run very Eueoeasfally in this vicinity.
