Ica.—A Urge sample of ioe, made tnm water which had been deprived In a great dsgrea of ita porosity by distillation, was aent to this offloe yesterday by Mr. Wells, tho snper- labnlmt of the company. It was almost com- pisttly pellucid, and as hard and brittle ns the Keieksrboeker article. The tomperatnre at •hick the water hod been oongoaled was also •enrol degrees lower than hitherto.

And all of UI can see this done by ■tap 1 ! paying $1 a year. Truly, the press is a Rtlfibty power, Doga tw. Sheep. Certain English hnsbsndmeD, who have immi- grated to Erst Tenueeeee for the purpose of rearing sheep, find their imported bucks, worth a hundred dollars s pleoe, to say nothing abont the native ewes—worried and devoured by the worthless cura which swsrm in that section jaat as they do here. We can imagine the conster nation, grief and disappointment of these un happy immigrants. Their osse is a bard one. Bat the loss to Ten nessee le fsrgresler. Whit wealth and pros perity are here literally “ gone to the dogs! The Tennessee wool erop ought to be s better crop for tbit Bute than the cotton crop. Why not? Is there a single reason why not? Not one. Tho comparatively barren hill and moun tain sides of Etat Tennessee might be covered with fine sheep—bringing la immense revenues from their wool, and atiliz'ng as well as fertili zing tbe wost6 plioes, while the rich valleys and river bottoms continue to torn ont their annual wealth of prod ants, just as they do now. Bat the people amt have cure 1 Bo In this region; but for the curs the good farmer's annual income from cotton might be enpplamented with abont an eqaal relarn from wool, with the additional result of a vast im provement in tbe fertility of his lands. There Is a season of tbe year, from tbe termination of wintry weather to m'.daammer heats, whan bat for Western bacon tho people woald starve. There is nothing bnt bacon to be had for love rr money. Bnt if people oonld keep ehqep, what with winter crops of tnrnlpe, barley, rye and oats their Ublee might be supplied with tbe finest mutton, at a good profit to tbe farmer. Bnt it is impossible on aooonnt of the enni. The most provoking!; Indierotuacsonntsof fail ure in experiments at sheep raising have been told ns by valued friends—In wbiob lsrgo flocks have been exterminated In tbe course of a few nights. Why osn’t the enrs be got rid of? Simply from tho terror of Legislators abont a dog law. They are afraid of the opprobrium and opposi tion of tbs Ignorant and worthless—of men al most ss idle and useless as the cars they beep— end that is the reason why the Southern SUtes tear bnt few sheep. One of the questions now propounded to fsrmors In giving in their Ux returns is, bow many dogs are there on yonr place? Tbe an swer usually la, “I keep bnt one." “But," says the reoeiver, “I do not mean how many yon keep yonraelf, bnt bow many are there al together ?’’ “Oh. God only knows—I don't," re joins tbe farmer. “Let me see—old Jim’s got one, and old annt Bailie, she's got a bitch and five paps. And Sam and Ned, they’ve got 'posanm dogs—and old Ike and his crowd, they've got a good many. The faot is, I can't answer tbe qneation with any certainty, bnt I ’spore there monght be somewbar between fif teen and forty.” Now, perhaps these inquisitions wore sug gested by some latent, half formed pnrpoee to intiate an abatement of tbe dostraotive nni- noe. At least let ns hope so. Materialism In Politics. Mr. Forney’s Philadelphia Press groans over the “materialism in politics” developed by this Farmers’ Grange movement, by which he says tho farmers propose to war on railroads in a most misohievons and mistaken manner, and also npon til interests at d industries otter than their own. Mr. Forney groanB for tho good old times of “ lofty tbongbt and high devotion to the welfare of the whole errantry.” He does not seem to oomprehend that the support of pig Iron proteotive duties and high Urrff on mannfaatared goods generally can pos sibly be anyining else than “high devotion to the welfare of tbe whole country,” or that oppo sition to this wretched class legislation oan bo anything olso than perverse, selfish, nnpo- trlotio—an ntter prostitution of all tbe wise nses of politioal parties. And Ur. Forney may bs quite honest in that idea. For half a century every Tory in Great Britain hts repeated the doolaratlon, “the conn- try’s going ter dey vylo” every time an old mnsty abnse has been corrected, and tbe Figs of Pennsylvania have virtually enjoyed a pen sion so long ont of the farmers’ pockets that it is moro deeply embedded in their minds than any other idea oonneoted with government. In foot, the chief end of government to the Pennsylva nians Is to prevent the importation of foreign goods—particularly of iron. • With this idea of “freo republican institu tions,” what baso and sclfirh beretios do tbe farmers become, in tho eyes of Pennsylvania, when they orgoniss a party to save themselves from paying those oostly bonnties to the manufacturers! They are little, if any better than the Southern rebels They are poisoning the politics of the country—introducing into them a grosq and selfish materialism which in sists upon fair and freo competition, and every interest standing on ita own Iegt, instead npon bomg carried on the backs of the fanners. We think this kind of “materialism" is iike'y to grow and flourish. . Crops la Middle Florida. We think the Georgia planters ean have no good canoe to tremble abont the eotton citer- pillar, until they hear Florid* holler. The Floridian of the 17th, however, has thla to say abont crops in that region: The crops in thl* county as a general thing are certainly good, bnt In some localities where the oorn has not been well worked it is not so promising. An nnasnsl qaAntity of rain has fallen in tho county daring the last two or throe weeks, and the farmers are now waging a des perate battle with the gross, whiob seems likely to get the best of the conflict unless we have some dry weather very soon Oorn generally has been laid by and we suppose cannot be in jured much, bnt ootton and other crops will suf fer materially unless the seasons improve. We bear little talk now of tho caterpillar, though we suppose every farm oonld furnish a few on s pinch. Bnt It is best not to borrow trouble. Leo V*. Twigs*. Swmtviixx. IMM Co., Ga , Jane 20, 1873. Editor* Telegraph and ileuenger: Please in form “Max Emanuel,” of Twiggs connty, that Lee oonnty'a eotton don't grow by “warehouse liens” or “hind do garden," but in fields made rich by nature and skill. Hope Twiggs connty is as dear of liens as old Lev. Our crops are clean. Will send a foroe to clean Twiggs’ oot ton if they won’t become demoralized. Twiggs would do better to mow her gross if it is as high os Lee connty cotton. Lie Oocstt. “Dun lasers.”—The Atlanta Harold of yes terday makes the following point on Mr. Ste phens’ editorial on the execution of O’Neal, at Atlanta laat week, whioh editorial will be found in onr “Georgia Press" column. Says tho Herald: Snob an Imperious passion has Mr. Stephens for “dead iaanoo,” that if a live issue is pre sented to him he waits until it is dead before he says a word about it; as witness the cose of O'Neal. While O'Neal was alive and pleading for pardon, Mr. Stephens said not a word. The case hadn't yot reached the point at which it wss fit food for his royal pen. Bnt O Neal being banged, buried, and almost forgotten, Mr. Stephens, in an elaborate article in yester day's Sun, goes to show why be ought not to hocr been bung- Can't somebody pluck Mr. Stephana out cf this perpetual graveyard ? It oocura to ns that ths Herald is entitled to oooro one. Editor* Telegraph and Mteeengerx In to day's iasne of your paper yon ask, “Have any of onr medical friends received a copy of the Medioal and Snrgieol History of the War of the Rebellion ?” The Mooon Medical Associa tion has reoeived a eopy, (consisting of two volumes), for which it is indebted to Senator T. M. Norwood. Macon, Jane 20,1873. “Savannah Advertiser: “An old lady selling eggs yesterday asked, as is usual, ’what's the news?' ‘Tbe latest,’ said tbe obliging clerk, *is that the Yankees have got the Modocs.’ Tbe old lady struck her knuckles on the counter and exclaimed, ‘I hope the last one of 'em will die of it!" Liect. Gov. Steabss, of Florida, hoi issued a proclamation assuming charge of the State Gov- era men t on aooonnt of the inability of Gov- amor Hart to administer the government by , reason of sbsanoe from ths State. THE GEORGIA PRES*. Judging from the newspaper reports, the only chance for Georgia eotton planters to get out even this year, is by means of the hay crop. If they will be prompt about pulling the ootton ont of the grass, s splendid hay erop will be reaTzed. Ms. Elaji Cheistiax—whom the Marietta Journal very unkindly remarks has started more papers and met with lesa succors than any man in Georgia—has broke out in that line again with a patent ontside and inside sheet at Acwortb, a wood and water station on tba Slate road. .Vf The Brv.

Liamsixo struck four houses and many trees in Albany lost night week, daring an nnrunaliy heavy storm. No lives were lost, however. Tax Central City has the following additional items: Pnwn. Aocidxnt—Skillful ScMicit Op- EBATION.—Mr. 8 F. deGraffeureid, rf this oity, was severely injured at Tifron, a station on the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, forty miles from Albany, on Monday morning loot. He was standing on or near the platform of tbe depot, as tbe B AAR B passenger train was moving off, when he found that by remaining where he was there was danger of hts being crashed. He started to leave the epot, when the corner of the car ttruek him in the forehead and on the right slionlder, knocking him down. In at tempting to rise, his left foot was thrown under the passing wheels, and mashed off across the instep. Mr. deGraffenreid was badly braised on the head and shoulders, and his foot horri ble mangled. He was sent np Immediately from TiftoD, on a pole cor, and arrived here abont balf-past eight o'clock in tbe evening, snffering the most rxcrnclstiflg pains. On Tuesday morn ing lost Drs Hilsman and Btrozsr performed the difficult and skillful surgical operation of re moving the bruised flesh and ern-hed bones of tbe foot, and lapping the skin of the foot so that it will cover tbe wonnd and join to the skin of tbe leg. By this operation the heel will be pre served, if a second operation is not rendered necessary. Mr. deGraffenreid is now doiDg as well as could be expeoled. We hope that his wounds will speedily heal ap. We and the com- inanity at large deeply sympathize with him in bts present calamity. Latxb.—Since writing the above the physi cians have been compelled to perform another operation npon Mr. deGraffenreld’a leg. After the wontd had been dressed Tuesday morning, gangrene set In so rapidly that amputation a few inohea below the knee was rendered neoes- eary. We are informed that the patient is doing as well as conld be expected nnder the oirenmstanoes. Killing Neas Lezebubo —A Dzspebate Chab- aoteb Meets His Jcst Kewabd—Shot in the Attihft to Mubdxb His Employee.—The plan tation of Mr. U. Hitt U situated about scveD miles east of LeeBburg, in Lee county. Mr. Hitt bos had in bis employ this year a negro man, named BeDnett Drake, and bis wife, very refraotory and impudent servants. He also had in bis employ a negro boy, who is the son of a former wife of Drake, whom Drake and his wife were accustomed to treat in a barbarous and inhuman manner. On the morning of Monday lost, June 1C, 1873, Mr. Hitt went to the bonto of Drake to remonstrate with them for their cruelty to tbe boy, and to have it stop ped. In tbe conversation that ensued abont the matter tbe negro woman was very insulting in her remarks, and impudent to the extreme. Mr. Hut warned that if she did not oease her im pertinence to him he wqnld slap her jaws. While tnese words were passing tbe negro Drake re mained in the cabin. Tbe woman repeated her in sulting language and Mr. H. executed bis threat. Bennett Drake immediately leaped ont from bia cabin and grasped him by the throat and at tempted to oboke him to death. The negro woman then struck him from behind npon ttie I. nek of the ru ck with a hoe, while ber hnsbsnd held bis by the throat. In tbe scuffle that fol lowed Mr. Hitt got ont his piatol, whioh was discharged accidentally, hurting no one. This frightened the negroes for the moment and they turned loose their intended viotim. Re covering his pistol, Ur. Hitt proceeded to his honse and was followed by Bennett Drake, who had armed himself, and wss uttering threats and endeavoring to attack bis employer at a disadvantage. Mr. H-tt told him to go back and lot him alone. When he reached his own yard, he informed Drake that if be pursued him into his yard he (Hitt) wonld kill him. Not heeding the injunction Bsnnett Drake ratted forward tbroagU tbe gate, when Mr. B H. Hitt shot him through the heart, cansing instant death. Mr Hitt immediately rode to Leesburg, gave information in regard to the matter, and promptly surrendered himself into the bands of the sheriff. Ws have heard no one condemn tho conduct of Mr Hitt. Judos Gbeene Bbantley, of Washington oonnty. has sent two bales of ootton to the Vi enna Exposition. The Sandersville Herald says last Tuesday morning, as Rev. Mr. Tucker was leaving that town, his horse took fright and ran away with the boggy, throwing Mr. Tooker ont and bruis ing him severely in a number of places, also spraining bis left foot The last McDuffij Journal has a capital edi torial beaded “Critioising the Southern Situa tion.” We have a suspicion that we have read it before in another paper. Can tbe Journal tell ns the nsme of thst paper? On last Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Calambns received precisely the ssma amount cf ootton that she did on the corresponding days last year. The Oolumbns Son, of Thursday afternoon, says: Dr. Thomas H. Dawson died this morning at his residence in Glennville, Ala. He attended divine service yesterday and retired to sleep at abont bis usual hour—9 or 9 j o’clock—in appa rently good health. Abont 5 o’olock this morn ing Mrs. D. felt him make a ppatmodio move ment, supposing him probably to be dreaming tonched and shook him, and found him dead. Mb. Altbzd Howell, of Warren oonnty, fell dead lost Thursday while walking from bis field to the bouse to take shelter from n rain storm. Policeman Cash, of Colombo*, was tried and acquitted in Mnscogee Superior Court on Thurs day of ths charge of murder in having shot and killed, last fall, a negro thief whom he was try ing to arrest. The jury were ont only three minutes. Says the Rome Conner: Bound Mountain Ison and Coal Comfant.— This magnificent property, located a half mile from the Coosa river, thirty-three miles below Rome, in Cherokee county, Alabama, has re cently been stocked at one hundred thousand dollar*, with the privilege of increasing the same to five hundred thousand. Active opera lions will begin at once, with the following list of stockholders, many of whom are well known. We predict for the company a grand saeeess: Stockholders—Ex-Governor Jenkins, Angnsta, $6,000; J. Siblev k Sons, Angnsta. $15,000; W. C. Sibley.

About three hundred hands are employed. The Execution of O’Neal —Under this head, the Atlanta Sun of yesterday has the following extraordinary utteranoe: Ought this unfortunate man to have been hung? Was he guilty of murder? It is tine, very little good can oome from a discussion of this question now. Hs was tried and found guilty ny a jury of h i own county, and he has paid the extreme penalty of the law. Bat in vindication of his memory, as well as of right principles, and to put upon reoord our opinion of the law and its administration in this ease, yre give it as our very deliberate judgment that the facts as disclosed, did not make a ease of murder, as defined in onr Code. He and Little, the man wham he slew, casually met on the oomer of Broad and Marietta streets. Several other person! were also casually oolleeted at the some plaoe. O’Neal and Little mat in a friend ly manner. Usual friendly salutations passed between them. Little was the first of the two to use unfriendly words. He referred to s mat ter of reoent litigation between them. O'Neal said in substance that he had gained his ease aooordiog to law. Little said if he hod gained it he hod done so by swearing to “a lie,” “a damned lie," as some understood it. This wss, of ooarse, very provoking lan guage ; a blow followed; • rencounter ensued which resulted in O'Neal’s killing Little by in flicting a horrible wonnd with a dirk knife, which he nraalJy carried with him. Wes this murder, under tne laws of Georgia ? We think not. Tbe highest grade of this offense was the higheet grade of manslaughter, under the Code, the punishment of whioh is not death. We re fer to this inbj-ct, os tbe points involved deeply conoern the rights and life of alL There is no thing more important for the welfare of society thin that the people shall understand their laws, and especially their criminal laws—and that they should be faithfully eiecuted as long as they are npon the statute books. A. H. S. A little girl, dangbter of a Mrs. Robergo of New York, fell from tbe second story of the Pulaski House at Sayannah,a distance of twenty or more feet, striking on a brick pavement, on Thursday, and, almost marreloas to relate, sus tained no injury whstiTer. A oentlxman who has just returned from s trip to Arkansas informs the Atlanta Constitu* tlon thst the beat crops he saw on the route were on the farm of Mr. Lewis Tnm'in, of Bar tow connty. The Atlanta Harold says there ore now sixty granges of the Patrons of Husbandry in Geor gia, and that it is believed there will be one hundred by tha end of the year. Tho same paper is also informed that three hundred thousand dollars of tbe new Georgia eight per oent interest bearing bonds have been exchanged for old bonds at par, and that four hundred thousand dollars have been dieposed of for cash. The Atlanta San. of yesterday, rays: The Prismatic Railroad —Yesterday OoL J. W. Beck, of Opelika, Ala., (a native Geor gian, born In Washington connty, and oolonel of the 41th Georgia regiment in the late war) was in the city, exhibiting models and drawings of the new railroad now in operation in Ope lika, of which ths readers of the Son have al ready had some information. This la a railroad whose ears ran npon a single rail, and not npon two rails. It is nailed “Prismatic," because the track is triangular or priamatio in shape—(be single rail crowning the pritrm or triangle, the aides of whioh support tha cars on tbe single track—Ihocgh we have not space to describe it minntely. It la the invention of Mr. E. Grew, of Opelixa. patented and entirely owned by Mr. Grew and CoL Beck. A railroad one mile long on this plan is in operation at Opelika. It Is a pronounced success, and Messrs. E. Orew k Oo. have just closed a contract with the proprietors of the Tallassee cotton faotory to bnild a road for them to Opelika, five miles. A oompany has been formed in Atlanta to bnild a street railroad to Dr. Angler's Ponce de Leon Spring, and they are abont dosing a contract with OoL Beck to do the woik. Gen. G. M. Sobbell, of Savannah, has been elected an Alderman to fill the vaaancy caused by the death of Mr. Thoruts H. Harden. Thx Samtnr Republican correots its rumor of the death of Geo. W. Woolten, Esq., of that place. He was water bound in Oalhonn oonnty. The same paper says soms of the planters in that oonnty are so hopelessly in tbe grass, that they are tnroieg their block on portions of their ootton crop9. The Atlanta Herald, of yesterday, has tho following: Athens, Ga.. Jnoe 18, 1873.—Mr. Holliday, who was killed by a constable and posse of oitizens of Jaokson county, was charged with aa attempt to murder the ooDstablc, who at tempted to arrest him Sondsy, when he resisted him with an axe. Tbe ouustable then begged him to come to the Conrt-honse on Monday, at noon, which he rtf aatd to do. Tbe posso went to his bouse Tuesday, when he fired on thorn with a double-bftrrcle-i shot gun loaded with buck shot, striking three of tho mon. He fired a second time, and they returned the fire killing him. He was armed with two gnus, a pistol and bowie knife. The ooroner’s jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide in execution of the law. Not one of the posse had keen charged with being a Knklux by Holliday, or SDy other person. Tho posse consisted of Remo of the first citizens of the oonnty. We find the following interesting “show np” of the Liboria swindle in tbe Savannah News of Thnwdsy: The Liberian Colonization Scheme —Re- Tur.N ov an Escaped Geoeoia Emioeant—An Interesting Aooount of ms Experience—Teb- rible Trials of the Deceived Colored Peo ple.—Among tho Bteersge passengers who ar rived at this port on Taerdiy evening, in the steamship Ban Jacinto from Now York, was John McBarrns, a colored man, better known as John Swain, a native of Hawkinsville, Ga., and well known on the river as the pilot of the late Chas. E. Hardee, with which he bad been connected in this position from the time she was built np to within a few months of the time she was loet. John oslied npon ns yesterday morning, and informed ns that be was one of tbe party of one hnndred acd fifty oolored peo ple from Hawkinsville, who left this oity in the steamship San Salvador on the 10 h of Novem ber last, for Liberia by way of New York, nnder tbe anspioes of tho Amorioan Col onization Society, of which expedition mention was made in the News, at the time. He escaped from the Oolony on the first of May, and left for New York, from Monrovia, in the bark Thomas Pope, Oaptain R’ohardson, reaching that city a few days ago, when he took passage for Savannah, arriving here as stated on Tues day evening. We had qnite a lengthy and in teresting interview witn John, and fonnd him a sensible, intelligent oolored man, possessed of bard, praotical sense, although not an edoeated person. I left Savannah onthelGthof Novem- sr, on the steamship San Salvador, to see iny ife and ohildren off to Liberia. Upon onr ar rival in New York, we were t8ken directly along side of the bark Jasper, bound for Liberia. Jnst before reaching New York, one of my ohildren died, and npon onr arrival I requested oermisslon to stay on shore aod have it decently juried. This request was refused, and I was forced on the bark with the others, whioh left immediately for sta. I was thns compelled to entrust the Interment of my child to strangers, and although I was promised that all expenses wonld bo paid from Georgia to Liberia, $18 woa exacted of me for the bnrial expenses of the child. It was nu: my intention to go to Liberia at that time, and thoso in charge of the expedi tion knew it I went to New York to Bee my family off, intending to follow them in a few months, bnt was foroed on board the bark and not allowed to go on shore. In faot taken away against my wilL Mr. J. W. Lsthrop, of Savannah, had promised me he wonld seed me ont to Liboria as soon as the season closed, I at that time being engaged to him as pilot of his boat As It is, however, I am glad I want to Liberia, as my eyes have been opened to the great fraud that has been pradioed npon my people, and I shall strenu ously oppose emigration from Georgia, or any other Southern State. This is onr home, and we are better treated, have more comforts and irisrileges for omoelves, ore better paid for onr abor, when we act right and honestly, than we con be in any other country, Liberia especially. Oaring to an agreement between the vessels running to Cape Palmas and the Colonization Society, no emigrant is permitted, after ho lands, to leave the country under two years. By that time they are either dead, or deprived of all means of getting away. Diecovering this, I determined to leave the plaoe, and oaw Captain Richardson of tbe Bark Pope, at Palmas, and begged him to bring me back. This be refused to do for the reason stated. Bnt I showed him my Custom Hones license os a pilot, when he promised he wonld do what be conld for me “as a sea-faring man.” He told me to meet him st Monrovia, three hundred miles from Cape Pal- man, on the first of May, end he wonld take me to New York. I laid hid npon the beach for three weeks, being supplied with food by my wife, who hod to bring it five miles from the colony. When the English steamer Virgo an- ehored within four miles of the beach and I got a native to carry me ont there. By this means I reached Monrovia, met OapL Richard ion, who bronght me to Naw York. This in brief is tbe statement of this oolored man, who it seems ■old his little property for $700, whioh he can not buy now for $2,000. He is penniless, his wife and ohildren ore in Liberia, and he now hoe to call on his white and oolored friends to Assist him in raising the means to bring them back. John states that the mortality is fear ful at Cape Palmas, eighteen and twenty of the Georgia emigrants dying doily during acclima tion. When the six muntbs' provisions allowed them by the society give oat, they hSTe to de pend npon the broad root, and palm oil, tbe food of the natives, as tubsistenee. Specimens of this food were exhibited to ns, and onr opin ion is tbe same as John's—that it cannot be compared to good oorn bread and fat bacon. Tbe natives roam the oouotry in idleness, men end women going naked with the 7xoeption of s ««v»al! clout about the loins. They live in the bnahes, npon tbe products above stated, and enliven tbe time by hewing one another with bogs cutlasses, similar to onr scythes—ea a general thing, however, they do not disturb the colonists. Many of the eml- £ranta from the South, Instead of civilizing throe savages, adopt their mode of life and take to the boshes nth them with an alacrity and facility remarkable. John lays there are a num ber ot Georgia negroes in oome of these tribes, who are as wild and barbarous a* tbe natives themselves. Tbe climate is terrible, it being imparoible for e Southern negro to work in the open air after 6 o'clock in the morning, and late in the avening. Among the other blessing! en joyed by Southern emigrant* is • visitation, daring the rainy season, of swarms of venom- ouj insects, oalled “drivers,” abont the sizs of onr large red ant, which fid the hnts and worm themselves into every nook and oorner.. Their bite is terrible, and we ore informed thst tiro oolored women, who were bed-ridden, end una ble to keep these insects off them, died from tbe effects of the bites, their bodiewbeing swol len horribly. There is no opportunity for s colored man or woman who without means or assistance to elevate themselves in any manner in such a oountry, nnder affairs as they now exist Colonists are escaping whenever opportunity offers and re turning to the States; their oondition is repre sented as deplorable, as sftor the first service of the society—taring them oat there—nothing more is done for them. Many of those who have been si tbe Gape Palmas Colony for fonr or five years, and who have succeeded in getting assistance from their white friends here are re taining, their term ot oompalsory residenoe having expired. Some retarned in the bark Hope, with John Burras, several of whom are Georgians. The names of these returned dis gusted colonists are as follows: Sarah Lewis and two children, Oolambna, Ga.; Eliza Bacon, Savannah; Mary S. "Wayne, three in family. North Carolina; Lacy Graham and children, Sooth Carolina. The oolored woman, Eliza Bacon, who emigrated from Savannah fonr Years since with a party of eighteen blood relations, returns alone; the other seventeen having died in Liberia daring that period. A family named Grnmwell, also from this State, numbering five when left here, is redaoed to one member. John Burras will call meetings of his people in this city and address them npon this emigration sabjact, relating his own and othero' expertenoe concerning the glgantiofrand. He will then proceed to Milledgeville, Sparta, Mooon and Hawkinsville. He Is anthorized to sot os agent for the Georgia Colonists who are anxious to return, and writ take np subscrip tions for that purpose. The colored people should feel it a privilege to assist in bringing home these poor deoeived friends and relatives. The berk Hope will leave for Liberia the latter port of Angoat. and arrangements can be made with Yates k Polterfisld, owners, in New York, for the transportation. North Carolina Items.
