Through tbe kindness of a friend, we have been permitted to examine a unique map show- lag Ibe boundaries of the ancient domains of Iks several Highland clans, ao famous in Scot tish history. Aooompanyiog this map is a his torical geography, giving tho name of each elan, tbe nnmber of Ita followers, tha title of tbe Ltlrd, ita battle cry or slogan, btdges. po- eatisritlas, eto. A auoeinct but moat Interesting ikatob follows also of the landing, career, de feat aid flight of tho unfortunate Prince Ghules, ondcr whose banner nearly all the highland ehlefs strayed themselves. It was tbs lest grand display of the rode ohivalry of Beotia, who, clad In tartan and plaid, and arm- td with shield and brand, marched to tbe thriekiog melody of the pibroch, and devoted their lives to the service of their Liege. Un- ikilled in military taotloa, and laoking the dis cipline of an organized host, still never did the pdtdina of old exhibit anblimer deads of daring or greater fidelity to the oanso they had es poused. Not even the poorest of their follow ed could be induoed to betray tbe royal fugi tive, In bla wsnderlcgs and distress. The battle of Gnllodeu sealcx} the fate of tha pMlecder. Then followed the remorseless boleherisi of the Duke of Cumberland and the edict of Parliament disarming the clans, dis- mrobetlog tbeir territories, abolishing their eoetnme, and destroying the Individuality and Identity of these famone tribal organizations sad principalities, which had existed ns inde pendent sovereignties for ages. Henoeforth they were destined only to live in the soDgs of the Border, and the tnagloa! portraitures of tho Wisud of tbe North. One of our own citizens, a peaoeful and be- loved minister of tho gospel, ia tbe lineal reprr. Mutative of one of the prondoat and most power- ill cf the olins of Bretland. We sllnde to Dr. William McIntosh, who is descended direct from ‘Ltnoblan Maklntosche, cf Dunauchton, Captain of tbs Ulanehittan.” At the battle of Onlloden in 1746, tbe Mo- Intoshei acted with signal gallantry. After wards tho Uev. Doctor's ancestors emigrated to Georgia, and settled tho town of New Inver ness, now oalled Darien. Here, too, the gallant blood of a noble race eviuoed itself in the first straggle for American Independence, and tho family have been ever noted for their bravery and courteous bearing. Now, they are scattered far sad wide, nover again to be united. The work we have been describing is pub lished in London and Edinburg, and will prove a boon and cherished heirloom to every Scotch man, who hu a drop of highland “blutd" in his niu Memories ol the Olden Time. Oar readers will peruse with the deepeat in- Urest tbe artlelo in another oolumn, entitled ” Reminiscences of the War of 1812,” the first of a aeries of similar contributions wa hope to print from tbe pen of the venerable author, Kav. Jesse Campbell. Those scraps of unwritten history abonld be carefully garnered np, and preserved for the benefit of posterity. The obroniolers of Georgia are singularly few in number, and there is no complete and properly arranged reooid of her colonial condition, and the share her sons bore in the itiuggle for Independence, and the sev eral ware through which the nation has passed. Bishop Stevens commenced the task, and ns far aa ha progressed, did hia work graoefuUy and wall. We are glad to state, however, that CoL 0. 0. Jones, Jr , hu in contemplation tha sup ply of tbia great want to the Commonwealth, for which the large number of original MSS., and other interesting documents he hu col lected abrosd, will afford peculiar facilities.

The St. Louis Times of the 29th says the deaths of tho week ending the previons evening showed an increase of 96 over the week before, and »et the reporters of that paper in qnest of explanatory facte.

The Montgomery Advertiser of .pics from tho New York Grapbio a letter dated “The Mosses, Franklin consty, Alabama, Jons 10th, 1873,” and aigned Gao. A. Tomlinson, il. D., arguing to the length of three columns in favor of a blocd amalgamation of tho white and negro races in tho Bomb, as the blessed consumma tion of ail these race equality doctrines of the radicals. This would, in the opinion of Dr. Tomlinson, harmonize and mulattolze the Southern Stales—peopling them with what he calls an "Albanegrine" race, in whose skins the rich African tints wooid stmggie for disclosure through the delicate and transparent entide of the Anglo-Saxon; and he cites example and authority to prove that the hjbrid would be an improvement evory way on tho original stock. . There was a good deal of aimilar talk in the Northern pipers during the war; but the phi losophers of that section have given a very few practical iilnatraUona and examples in tha es foreatnent of their theories. Once in a great while we read of each connections among the vagabond claries, but none among people of character and respectability. They all decline to fate with tho negro. Their philosophy, the ories and polities on this point, are held for the benefit of others, and not themselves—bnt they all find their tut analysis in hybridism. ■ All (he eonatitntional ‘'menmonta” as Sambo calls them, as well u “do enfostment," have no philosophy at all nnieu resolving themselves finally into war against every “distinction on sooonnt of race, color or previons condition! Tbs ridiculous and oppressive enactments, 8tate and Congressional, enforcing social con taot of the white and African raeea looks to breaking down, at first by stern force of law, and then by tha slower influences of habit and anstom, of that "prejudice on account of color” which tbeir preachera and politicians alike de nounce as nnjnst, unnatural and wicked, and thus paving the way for oomplete social aoalga. mation, wbioh they regard as the only practical and equally inevitubla aolntion of tha discords and incongruities of such a conatitnenoy as they have erected for ns. ’Well, they have dona many things which wo did not believe possible, and they may anoceed in this grand oonBnmmation of tbeir political theories. Bat we Bhali not believe it, till wo seo it. Via think this scheme ia a war against □stare, wbioh has been attended with practical defoat wherever attempted. In Qayti the negroes themselves defeated it first by the extermination of the whites, and then by a successful war of aggregation from tbe mnlattoes. So in Jamaica, nothing but pare black is tolerated by the negroes. If we look at Mexioo and Central and Sooth America we see that mongrelism there has been punished by a mental, moral and physical debasement below tho level of the lowest party to it, and that so far from improving either rsoe, it bns exagger ated the faults, vices and defects of both, and has resulted in a population mean, skulking, knavish, degraded and worthless in tbe last do gree, without a single virtue of either raeo. Thus praolioally has the Providenoe of God put the seal of reprobation upon an association at war with tho suggestions of Nature through tho five bodily senses. We trust and believe that the schemes of these Badioai doctrinaires to debase the whole Smthem race will come to nanght. They de atroyed onr governments—debased onr citizen ship and suffrage, and will not rest easy until they have muddied and poisoned the fountains of onr manhood and social life. They are the kako-dalmonoi—the evil demons of the South, bnt we trust will have got to the length of their ’(other before they bybrd zj onr people. “Let Independence be enr Boast,” Siys “Hail Columbia!” bnt how can it be when we have got none of that articio 7 The Independence won by onr patriotio forefathers through the straggles, sufferings and privations of seven years of war was (as a matter of sober aad indisputable foot) lost by ns in the rebel lion (so-called), and our oondition, as no one on earth will deny, is no', one of independence, but of subjection to mastery. We ain’t sing that (nne to-day. It ia blotted ont of onr political hymn book. Nor, in faot, oan wa aing any one of tbe old psalms of liberty srithont being guilty of transparent lying. These were meant for a people living under a self-elected and free government—a govern ment of their own ehoioe, which ia tbe founda tion fact of all free, popular government—and when it ceases to be a faot, makes a popular government the most oppressive of ail govern ments,* beeanse it pnta yon under a good many irresponsible masters, who don’t love yon and are not sorry to see yon* suffer. It is, there fore, in faot as well as in philosophy a good deal worso than tho paternal monarchies of the Old World. A free popular government is tbe best gov ernment, when conducted in harmony with its foundation principles; bnt when these are lost sight of or ignored, it becomes a very opprea sive ard dangerous machine. The people of the North do not care, just now, whose toos tbe iron wheel is crashing, because it is running on Southern toe*; bat when tbe wheel spins ronnd and ruus in their direction, they will groan like good fellows. And that, some day, this old wheel will take a tarn (tnd run over tho North is very probable. What is to hinder when it rnns on no fixed and immutable principles of law, bnt only by force of popular passions? When It is employed simply aa a minority crushing machine? Noth ing is more fleeting and volative than the pop ular whim, and the enemies of oonstitational rule, the Baiieaia, have committed themselveB to soma cratches which are sure to hurt them before long. Let us hope that, aa in tbe case of England after her great civil war, experience will so instruct the people of the United States that they will loam that nothing is ao valuable in government as rigid adherenee to fundamental principles, and nothing so delusiTe and rninons 03 running a government “outaide the constitu tion.” Let us hope that in the coarse of time oar children may seo the Government of the United States reconstructed or brought back to the solid basis of fundamental law, and admin istered with impartial joatioe for the mainten ance of all the rights and liberties of the States and the people of Stales, end not to carry ont the mere hobbies of politicians, as bitter and prejudiced as they are ignorant and snpetficiAl. Tbe Sew Orleans Vondon. The Sna says the annual celebration of the heathentsh Voudou rites in New Orleans took place this year on the eve cf St. John’s day, as usual, and created a great excitement among the colored population of that dry. Vondonirm, which U simply the worship of the devil, has many followers among the blacks of Louisiana, and the recurrence of the annual saturnalia is an event which creates a general interest among all classes of negroes, including those who do not acknowledge to a belief in the snppersti. tiona it commemorates and encourages. The believers in Tondonism hold that the devil has supreme power to punish, and that he mast xs- nniUy be propitiated with a gift and a festival held in his honor. At tho same time it is be lieved necessary to entire the demon by songs and danses to take possession of the worship pers, after which by a sudden rush into cold water ho is driven avay, taking with him all the sins tho believers have committed, daring the past year. This year the festival was held at an elbow on the lake shore, near Bayon Si. John, on the edge of a noisome swamp. It took place after dark, by the light of bonfires, and the beastly orgiee, of s nature too shocking to de scribe, were kept np by a great crowd of negro men and women daring tho entire night. N. K.

THE GEORGIA PRESS. The Etna Iron Worki of Borne has jnat de clared a ten per cent, dividend, payable on and after the 16th init. Csops m Pout, Floxd and Ohxttoooi Coun- ties.—The Rome Commercial has this cheerful report: We have been highly gratified at tbe crop news we have reoeived daring the past week from Floyd, Chattooga and Polk count ie*. The wheat crop has been harvested and a large part of it threshed ont. In Borne sections of these three oonntiea about a half crop has been made —the crop will cot, however, average exceeding a third. Tbe oat crop is good, and the yield will probably be greater than for a nnmber of years —tbe heads are large, fine and well developed, and the sli t is unusually good. Cloveris look ing splendidly—the great trouble ia not enongh ground In clover. Very tittle rye is grown in these counties. Corn never looked better nor promised a larger yield—the stalks are all large and fine, and tbe ear is well developed for this early in the season—this crop will, with good seasona, be the largest slnoe the war. Cotton is prom'sing, and nnle-s no unforeseen accident should happen, the cotton crop will be very heavy. And tho Barnesvtile Gazette has this report of tbe crops in that section : The Caora.—Most of the farmers in this lec tion are about to ‘ 'master tbe situation,” and re port that they will soon be ont of tbe grass. Thev have bad a splendid time daring the past week for grass killing—no rains to interrupt them. With one more good rain at the proper time, the early corn crops will be made, whioh promises to be the best since the close of the war. The wheat crop is being threshed ont, sod is giving a good yield. We hear of no complaint concerning the cotton crop, and the fatm-ra all M-m to b? in high apirita over their proepect*. The Savannah Advertiser and Bepnbliosn re ports sales of Centra! railroad stock at $79 25 on Tuesday, in that city, and cf Southwestern at $79 50 per chare. A Fceschmin from Dnblin who thought hia wife did not properly appreciate him, jumped into a well on Tnesday night, at Atlanta, in or der to qnicken her affection. She raised a howl and the poiioe raiaed him to the top, thoroughly sober, and satisfied with his experiment. A bout Riobt.—The Savannah Advertiser and Republican takes this pointed and altogether correct view of the reoent dnel between two York fashionables, Gray and Hecksher, tha lat ter of whom was accused by the former of ae- daring Mrs. Gray. It says: In everything essential save one this society duel was an apish imitation of what Northern jonrnais claim ns an institution patronized only by Southern ruffians and bravos. That essential was blood. Eat Sunthern gentiemen do not re sort to the field for the settlement of difficulties of the character of the one between Gray and Hecksher. And here it was that these society snobs failed in the imitation. Men in this sec tion do not ask those who have despoiled their hearthstones ont at siz paces, tip them a polite bow, send a harmless shot after them, bow again, sod then rash to a divoroe court. The honor of msn ia defended in a more summary way, and tbe wrongs of women find a quicker and a surer revenge. So far as tbe violation of written and moral law goes, the offence of Gray and Heck sher was almost as violent as that of Mordecai and Maoarlby, of Virginia. Their intent, judged by their actions beforehand, was to kill—to spill blood—in the language of tbe New York dailies, “to commit murder.” They merely lacked the requisite nerve to make tbe offenon oomplete. Tbe Virginia dnel was held np as a picture of Southern civilization. We hoist this New Yoik society duel by its side, and invite a comparison. ‘Bni Anp" has returned from New York where he has completed his arrangements for the speedy pnbiioation of bis new book.

Mr. Smith ill, however, oontinne to discharge the dntiee of tbe office daring tbe remainder of the year. Choleba in Atlanta.—The Constitution, of yesterday, announces that there-is a case of gen uine Asiatio cholera in that city, and says: It ia at a boesa bnt a few hundred yards from the residence of a Constitution editor. At sup per last night he was informed of the oase, and within an bonr thereafter he had called upon aU the attendant physioians. Tbe physioians seen were informed that facts must bs pub lished, and it would be best for the pnblio that the statement should be fall. Thereupon Dr. J. M Horing, (also one of our aldermen) said that on Saturday last, at 2 V. M., tbe sick lady in qnestion reached here from Chattanooga, where she bad been living in a cholera neigh borhood. She has been in feeble health for years. Bepairiog to her mother's residence, she felt no nnnsusl tronble till Monday after dinner, when diarrhoea began, which was checked by some medicine in the house. About 11 Monday night it again commenced, watery discharges continuing through Tuesday. At 10$ A. M. Wednesday (yesterday) Dr. Boriag was called in, when he fonnd the patient In a state of collapse, with crimps in arms and legs, and congestion throughout. He immediately applied remedies, and at 2 p. at. called in Dr. W. L. Armstrong, and Dr. Bozeman Baird was also present about 7 o'clock,- Late last night all hope of recovery was abandoned. We shall report farther in oar afternoon edition. So it will be seen that this case was clearly imported from Chattanooga, a thing we oannot prevent. In 1SC6 we had several eases and deaths here among the soldiers, bnt not s single outside case appeared in the city. Bulloch's famous carriage which “they say” was given him aa the price of one of bis before trial pardons, was sold at sheriff's sale in At lanta on Tuesday, to L. T. Swanson, for $150. The two citizens of Washington connty who were arrested last week for violating some one of the thousand petty rules and regulations of the Federal Eevenne laws, were tried before a Federal Commissioner at Augusta on Tuesday, aad required to give bond in the sum of $1,000 each, to appear at the next term of the Distriot Court at Savannah. The Chronicle and Sentinel says it ia reported in that city that a company is bring formed there “for the purpose of building a splendid hotel with all the modern improvements, on Broad street near the centre of the city.” A New Factobt.—The same paper has the following: Messrs H. F. Kassell and 0. W. Simmons have purchased a site an the Augusta canal, about a hundred and fifty feet above the powder works, upon which they propose to erect a fac tor*. Building operations will commenoe im mediate'.*. Ground has already been broken for the foundations. The factory will be de- Toted for the present to the manufacture of rope and yarns. Its operations will probably be enlarged after a short time, however. Thn3 the increased water power to ba famished by the canal enlargement is already being utilized, and we may confidently look forward to the erection of many more factories in the future. The New Osixins Duel.—The following ex tract from ex-Judge Cooley’s card in the New Orleans Times of the 26th nlL, give* aH the in formation necessary to a clear understanding of the caaies that lead to the duel between Cooley and Bhe'.t, which resulied ia tha death of the former: Col. Bbelt having written in the Fioaynne that I made assertions to the jury which were “malicious and wilfully falae,” andhsnpg aub- sequently refused my fair, honest and honora ble offer to decide whioh of ns is oorrect, I pub lish him to the people of New Orieana aa an unmitigated oalnmniator, a deli beret* and wUUnl falsifier, an artful dodger, and. withal, a thoi- ongh-paoed braggart. W. H. doom. Tbe Indiana on tbe Plains. There have been many conflicting acoonnta, ■ays tbe Son, published regarding the disposi tion of tbe Sionx Indians in relation to the con struction of the Northern Pacific railroad, a matter of pnblio importance, in view of the military preparations which have been made for the protection of the parties engaged in bnild- ing the road. Wo have information from the most trustworthy sources which would indioata the probability of serious trouble before the season ia over. Four years ago the Sionx, with tbe exception of one tribe, were mostly wild, and many of them hostile to the whites. Sinoe then the Taaktons have gone to farming and building houses, and among the varions tribes there are abont 3009 Indians who are partially civilized. Tbe whole nnmber of Sioux Is about 35,000. Ail the agencies on tbe Missouri river have missions which are in charge of the Epis copal Church, with the exception of the Grand Biver mission, which is in charge of tbe Boman Catholics. The Sioux who are now wild and hostile are those roaming in tbe region of the Black HiUs and the Powder river. They not only kiU the whites when they get an opportu nity, bnt defy ihe Government. The agencies for these wild Indians are Bed Cloud and While Olay, or Spotted Tail, the former thirty-five miles and the letter two hundred mUes from Fort Laramie. Very many of the older Indians and chiefs connected with these two agencies are peaceable, bnt the yonng men are not. These come and go with the war parties, and a good many have recently gone north, it ia sap- posed to meet Stanley's expedition. With the vary wild Indiana, enoh as Sitting Bril’s party, there are no missionaries, as it wonld not be safe for white man to go among them. The Sionx reservation originally embnoed all that part of Dakota west and south of the Missouri river, bnt by a treaty made in 1868 the lands north of latitude 46 degrees were ceded to the Northern Pacific Bailrosd. A delegation of Indian commissioners have visited the Bed Clond agency hoping to make snch arrange ments as wonld indnoe the Indians to refrain from interfering with the construction of the railroad, and also to give np the right of hunting on the Bepnblloan river, bnt it is donbtfni if any arrangements oan bs made which the Wes tern Sionx wiU oonsider binding upon them. The best authorities estimate that there are one thousand Sionx warriors who are to be classed as hostile, and who are likely to remain so un less they are snbdned by foroe. What It Amounts To. A careful examination of tho increase of salaries voted by the Bick pay Congress made by the Chiosgo Tribune, shows that the sum actually teken out of the Treasury over and above the anm previously required to pay the salaries of the same offioials, amounts in ronnd numbers to a million fire hundred thousand dollars a year. What does this great snm of one million and a half represent? At the rale of fire per cent, whioh ia tbe largest interest that the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized by the latest sets of Congress to pay upon borrowed mooey, the interest upon one million is fifty thousand dol lars a year, npon ten millions five hnndred thousand, and npon thirty millions jnst one million and a half. The salary grab then repre sents thirty millions of dollars. It is clear then that this swindle has added substantially to the debt of tbs United States tha sum of $30,000,000. In other words, if President Grant and his back pay Congress bad taken out of the Treasury $50,000,000 in cash and divided it among themselves the amount- tbns taken wonld have been no more than equivalent to the annual charge whioh their de sires have saddled npon the people and the in dnstry of Ihe oonntry. Tbe Late Jesse It. Grant. The Cinoinnati Commercial Bays: Tbe figure of Mr. Grant was one that wonld attract attention nt>on tbe street Large framed, massive, and before age had bent his form, like Sani, a head and shonider above hia brethren, moving along with an abstraoted air, and taking little or no no'te of the cnrianB gaze that sorntinized him as he passed. There wag that about the 6quare set features, ami in the firm linen of the month, whioh impressed one with a sense of real power in the man, and made one look a second time and closer at him. The head was larga and set npon a stout, bread pair of Bhonlders. The faoo was as clearly of tbe Scotch type as tbe granite of the Aberdeen Hills, and as firm and resolute. The forehead was broad and massive; tbe eyea oold, clear and gray, with a wise, deliberate expression in them, and no more likely to betray the feel- ings of tbe man than the strong-lined and de cided month. Dressed in a plain cloth suit—a frock coat made with small regard to the prevailing fash- ioD, and slcncby pantaloons coming down over low ent shoes, bnt not always concealing the homespun wool socks, a silk hat rather the worse for wear coming down well on tho head, tho rim in front almost tonching tbe large- bowed ailver-monnted spectacles astride his nose, and a cotton nmbrella under hia arm, Mr. Grant was one of the most remarkable figures to be seen on the street of a pleasant afternoon. It would be a grays mistake to measure the Mr. Grant of fifteen, or even ten yeara ago, by himself in the last years of his life, when the faculties of hia mind began to show symptoms of decay. He was a man of hard and shrewd sense in business matters, lacking in ideality and imagination, and of slow and deliberate judgment. He was a self adviser, and was con sulted aa a prudent counselor and a mac of un questionable integrity by his neighbors in Cler mont and Brown. We believe he wa3 a local magistrate in the latter for many years; at any rate, if not officially snob, he was as muoh con sulted aa an English 'Squire, and his opinions carried great weight with them. The Cholera In Chattanooga. The following telegrams appear in the Atlanta Constitution of yesterday: Chattanocoa, Jnly 2,1, p. m —Twelve deaths have oaourred since 8 o'clock yesterday even ing. The southern portion of the city is fall of cases, bnt tbe disease tbns far has net spread north of Ninth street The doctors and official authorities do not keep an aeconnt of the new cases. The number of them ia very large. Since Ihe disease has become so general and fatal they only note the deaths. Lookout. Chattanocoa, Jnly 2, 1873.—The cholera is rsgiDg fearfully to day, and the excitement is intense. Many are srild with apprehensions of sudden death. They gather in gronps, and the exaggerated stories which they,hear only serTe to increase the pauio. People are fleeing in ovary direction. Some left their work and left without a word. Tory few wealthy or prominent men are now In the city—only poor people are left for the awful disease to prey npon. Sixteen deaths have been reported so far to-day, and the grave diggers have now got fourteen graves dag. Two of the dead are employees of the Western and Atlantio Railroad Company—Hop- wood and. O’Bsnnon. It is difficult to pick ont the troth in the appalling excitement. It is impossible to get a fall list of the dead and dying to night. Lookout. A Card. New Yobk, June 30, 1873.

Pnblio- ity having been given through the columns of the New York Herald (and oopied- in many of the Georgia papers) to a marriage notice." in serted without my knowledge or eodtent, I ask yon in justice to myself to give this card a place in your earliest issue. It is a mallcioua fabri cation, a deliberate falsehood. No ceremony aa published, in connection with the party therein named, eras ever performed, and I pronounce it an infamous invention in toto. I am as yet “heart whole,” but not “heart hungry." Yours truly, David H. Ross. The Fbezdhzn’s Bureau.—After a series of impudent denials, (says a Washington special to the Louisville Courier. Journal) the corrup tion of the Freedmen’a Bureau is beginning to be generally acknowledged; and the question now ia whether General Howard shall be tried by a court-martial or proceeded against by civil prooess or on official bond. It now ap pears that for Howard's vsry Urge disburse ments the Government only required a pitiful bond of ten thonaand dollars. It ia in the power of the Government to save Howard if they wish by a shim prosecution on bi3 bond, or by so or ganizing a oonrt-mirtia! as to acquit him. It is clearly the right cf tbe Government to pro ceed against hint by both remedies; but what tha Attorney General will advise remains to be seen. Tbit any vigorous effort will be pursued to bring him to jnstioe ia believed by very few persons. Pectle in search of felicity are flecking to Danville, N. EL, this summer. Thera ia not a lawyer, dootor, lightning-rod man, sewing mi- ehine agent nor hotel clerk in the place, while more n»«n four hnndred beautiful, long-haired, rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed maidens, with natu ral teeth and white dreaees, meander through tbe streets at eventide, chewing gum and imil* ing'on the few young men about. So, at least, rays a Western paper. BY TELEGRAPH. DAT DISPATCHES. Baaday Beer Slapped.
