ErePrcsWent Job neon's Attack of
Cholera.
Writing of the ravages of the cholera at
Greenville, Teno, the correspondent of the
KsotflUe Press says:
"Andrew Johnson did not esospe. He re-
■sined at homa nntil bo was attaoked, and then
bit for hie oonntry rseldenoe, near Hender-
roe'a depot. After a fierce straggle with tho
d»e*M be rellied and got better, bot afterwards
look s reUpse and came near dying. His
pbjrieiao, I)r. Broyles, waa Immediately sent
for, who watched his bedside for one wbole
eight, never leaving him for a moment, and
fiaallj aoooeeding in enabling biu to pass tho
mat*. Il is said of Ur. Johnson that while at
bane he did all be could to administer to tho
Tula of the siek and the dying. I waa told
today by a gentleman, who seemed to know
vhalbe waa talking about, that the ex I’re i
kill intends leaving Greenville and will settle
- taoae of the three plaoos—Knoxville, Nash-
nlle, or Washington city. He ocrtainly would
ashes vslnsble acquisition to any community."
That depends. We don't know whether he
VNld be oil led a “valuable accession" down
Ihb way, or nut. He may snit E ;st Tennessee,
bat oor ways are not as those of that section.
Ws can't see what his claims sre npon the poo-
pie of this (action. He went back npon ns be-
fvs lbs wtr—waa ono of tbe bitterest and most
■alignaot revilara and perseentors of the South
kutag the war, and after the war he went back
oa those vho made him President. That Is his
balmy, and if there are any points In it calon-
lalad to make him a “valuable accession” to
soy ocmmnnlty hereabonls, we oonfess onr ina
bility to appreoiate them.

have tbe great Ohio Senator's gifts of terse and

More Mense (ban Their Toadies.
, A Washington dispatch of the 14th rays that
the oolored people of that city, at a pnblio meet
ing the day before, discussed the question of
“mixed schools.” The debate demonstrated
that
“There exists s wide difference of sentiment
upon this, tbe favorite hobby of Senator Snm-
cer, who demat dr it among other of the so-
cjJJed equal rights which he contends the eol
ored people are entitled to, hntare deprived ot
A oolored member of the District I>g-slative
Conned made a speech, which was afterwards
icd'.rned by a majority of those present St tho
m.rpng, in which he took direot inane with the
sdvooatee of mixed schools, arguing that the
scheme was all wrong, and that it would work
great injury to the oolored people, who, he
thought, ooght to be satiLfled with what they
now get—more than their share of the money
expended for edncational purposes in thia dis
trict."
And we are Inclined to believe that when the
negroes, all over the oountry, shall have email,
oipsted tbemaelves frem the influence of the
miserable toadies and mischief makers who are
stirring tbem np to insist npon social admix-
tnre with the whites, not only in cchoola, bnt
in churches, hotels, theatres and all pnblio
plaoes and conveyances,their good sense will
revolt at the invidious and degrading position
into which those people ere seeking to force
them.
Bsverse the position and the negroes would
take juat offense at it If the whites ware to
insist npon forcing themselves npon the colored
race and breaking down by Stale and Federal
statutes all the barriers which the negroes have
erected or may set np for their own racial pro
tection against the intrusion of tbe whites, they
wonld be sure to take offense. The converse
of this proposition is equally true and must re
sult in producing the same effeot.on the whites,
and the effort, in this way, instead of allaying
what Is termed "tho prejudice of oolor," will
only aggravate it to the point of animosity.
It ia the true policy of both raues, on the
other hand, to cultivate friendly relations and
rantuel good will; and this is to be done, not
by breaking down by arbitrary and unreasona
ble statutes, those natural sooisl barriers which
are tbe suggestion and the outgrowth of wide
and insurmountable distinctions of oolor, state
and habits, bnt by mutually recognizing and
respecting them. Toe negroes have abundant
provision for social intercourse among those of
their own oolor, and when one of the raoe, turn
ing from them, seeks to force himself emongthe
whites, be not only makes himself offensive and
ridioulous, bnt he proclaims his dlsooutent and
diaaatiafaction with bis own people, and riohiy
entitles him to a good switching from the ne
groes tbemaelves. 83 far from the miserable
pretense being true that be ie seeking to elevale
the aooial status of the oolored race, he is by
oondcct proolafmiog an undervaluation and
contempt for his own race—avowing that tho
whites are, as they claim to be, tho superior
raoe, and it ia neoesssry for the gratification of
his own vanity, that they shonld bo compelled
by law to admit him to their msooistion. Ne
gro affiliation won’t do for him.
Henoo yon will find these equality Jacks, in
nine oases ont of ten, mulatto bucks, radiant in
fisshy soarfs, fanoy voats, brass jewelry, and
glossy hats, and equally conspicuous for their
diaoonlent with the Hebea of their own oolor;
they sre ruon of oldor growth and the samo
oolor who are aspiring at fortunes in politioa.
Tbo social admixture movement has just about
hia depth of tap root. Tho great body of the
blacks laugh at it, and It wonld die ont at onoo
bnt for tbe mlsohievons white rascals and old
granny philosophers who play on thst string In
their own interests, or to carry ont their crazy
theories.
“Filching In.**
This Is the good adrice which the Macon
Tzr.tOBAPH offers the South Carolina planters:
“Oa the whole. It is evident that Sonth Caro
lina needs a more general pitching in to work
by the whites. The negroes aro imitative ;
when thoy eeo the whiles working tbe crops as
if they were in solemn earnest, they follow snit.
If yon want a hired froedmau to wotk well take
yonr hoe and dtstsnea him in the row."
AU very well, neighbor 1 (says tho Charleston
News end Oonrier) bnt there has been as mnch
pitching in” in this Slate as in Georgia; and
not only in tbe cotton fields. Charleston can
point to scores of yonng mon of gentle blood,
and exoellent cduoation, who nro making a
comfortable livelihood by bard msnnal labor.
They cunld not find tbe sort of work they llked-
asd they took what they oonld get. Tnrongb,
ont the State tbo whites are working like good
fellows. It ia their only chanoe, and they know
It
We have often heard of it before, and are
glai to hear it again. Th;ro cannot be a mors
noble manhood than that which Charleston has
illustrated in this way. The men who, far from
being disheartened by the storms oi adverse
fortnno, emnmon their energies, and, laying
stoat hold of any honorable employment which
presents itself, however diaoordant with their
taste and previous position, aro trao noble
men, though they may drive car or dray or act as
porters in a warehouse. And they aremen who
will not bo kept down, bnt in due time will
achlove personal comfort and competence. Wo
doobt not the South Carolina whites are gener
ally as indnstrions as those of Georgia. Indeed
Col. Aiken, when he was last in Macon, told ns
he thought they wero showing mnch moro en
terprise and indnstry. Bat there is still wide
space for improvement in both States.
Editorial Correspondence.
Fjarrra, July 16, ie73.
Ia the midst of our own literary festival
at home, yonr correspondent, remembering the
claims of this besntifnl little city, destined,
many thick, to be the suburban abede of opu
lent Maconites, flitted over by moonlight last
night to Tiew the commencement of Monroe
Female College. The fresh breeae from ver.
dant fields, and the smooth and rapid motion of
the can acted like a tonic and restorative to
hia frame, wearied and well nigh exhausted by
the heat and toil of a long summer's day. Might
travel is indeed much to be preferred at this
seasoD, tboegh we find tho reoent change of
schedule on the railroads ia provoking deep and
universal complaint.
The opinion seems general (hat change aa
often aa they may, Macon ia sure to be left ont
in the oold, and bnt for her inherent energy,
capital and sagacity, wonld in fact subside into
a mere wayside poat.
Henoo tbe anxiety of her people for tbe open
ing of the new ronto to Knoxville, and tbs
contraction of the Groat Western Canal. It
is not well to he dependent npon any single
line for direct connection with the great marts
of tbe country. We do cot obsrge, however,
that the Central Railroad is positively lnimieal
to onr oity, which was her first groat feeder
and terminus, bnt thst organisation having
grown into a groat power, whoae briaroan arms
stretch far sway, north, sonth and west, sbs
most lock after the “mein change," and hence
Maoon is required to take a back seat. Mot.
however, that it loves Maoon less, bnt the Cen
tral Bailroad more.
“xm nut.'
About Iru we made the Greer House after
a pleasant walk through the moonshine from
the depot. Thus far modern improvements
have been eachewed in thia old fashioned “hat.
tie,” bnt a warm welcome awaits the traveler
and an abncdance of what are termed the sub
stantial* of life in common parlanoe, bnt whioh
to the denizen of the crowded olty, pass for
first class luxuries. Thai, batter just from tbe
chnrn, eggs that don’c chirp when plaoed in
boiling water, nnwatered milk, spring chickens,
beef and good corn bread are served in abun
dance, atd might well put to tbe blush oertain
grand atrnotnrea with Mansard roofs, bnilt like
magic bnt never paid for, which lore tbe trav
eler in by sight and sound only.
We were shown to a chamber with hnge fire
place and fringed with shntterloss windows,
which let In tbe sweet breeza and tbe moon's rays
without stint.
The sensation was novel,aud the bed hard bnt
clean, so this deponent sank peaoefcliy to rest

the night previous. The old gentleman pro
duced his “oremons,” a hundred yean old, and
the details of the toilet were enlivened by the
sonl-stirring strains of the Marseilles, Dixie,
and Heme Sweet Home. He palls a splendid
bow, and his, has been indeed a chequered
history, with shads predominating over sun
shine.
After a chat with divers farmers, who all de
clared tbe crops to be promising, bnt enffermg
greatly for lack of ram, we joined the orowd en
route for
MOMBOX nil ALE C3LLXOS.
This institution, which claims to be second
in antiquity only to the Wesleyan, while under
the control of tbe Baptists, is yet non-sectarian,
and the College edifice and gronnds are owned
by a stock company, the largest Bhare holder of
which is the town of Forsyth.
The corner-stono of the present building
ereotod as a medical college, was laid in 1840.
Ono hundred and fifty students, including the
aoademio department, are In aotnal attendance,
and tbe mam edifice has been reoentiy thor
oughly rr fitted and improved at very heavy ex
pense. From the capola five oonsties are with
in the range of vision.
Tho President, Mr. Asbnry, Is an able and
most efficient eduoitor, and the Faculty, which
includes Bev. Dr. 8. G. Hillyer, is composed of
experienced and oempetent instructors.
Thia is commencement day, and the spacious
chapel was closely packed with an andienoe
numbering about; 1,000 persons, three-fourths
of wLom were ladios.
Tho exorcises were opened with prayer, after
which began the reading of compositions by the
senior class, interspersed with sloging, and ma
sio on the piano forte.

Whispering, and mi-chievous applauding and
whittling of hcj-H, did violence to the proprie
ties of tbe occasion. The fall of a pin might
have been heard while the yonng ladies were
npon the floor.
Where all did sc well, it were an invidious
task to discriminate in any mention of the sev
eral dram a'.is personae. We shall oonfiue onr
remarks, therefore, to those compositions which
were unique and novel in their chsraoter.
The salutatory eras prononnoed by Miss Lula

good sense and kind feeling. This yonng lady
has tbe power to enchain the attention of her
hearers by tho graoes of her rhetorio, and the
practical wisdom displayed in all her utterances.
The first composition was road by Miss Leo

from the Fines.” This weird subject, so fall
of poesy and romance, was skilfully bandied,

Though ws have lying befote ns copious notes
of this, which waa undoubtedly one of tbe meet
masterly effort* of genius it has ever been onr

distinguished orator has promised to write ont
a synopsis of his remarks for publication in the

THE GEORGIA PH ESS.
Vermont '• Civilization."
A most horrible and almost incredible condi
tion of affairs io tbo Vermont Insane Asylum
described in the report of the Legislative
Committee appointed to investigate the man
agement of that institution. The committee's
first discovery was that tbe asylum, which is
controlled by a private corporation, wns greatly
overcrowded, four hundred and eighty-five pa
tients being packed into a space intended to ao-
oommodate bnt three hundred at the most.
This, however, is a trifling matter in compar
ison with other revelations. Seventy-five -of
these nnfortnnates were found thrust away in
•nbterranean dungeons, dark, damp, fcnl, and
prevaded by unendurable stenches. Some were
cunfined in apartments sine-feet by four in
size, with air and ventilation only through
augur holes bored in the doois. The aetive as
well as passive inflictions put npon these poor
people prove equally inhuman. Among them
was the punishment of the bath, in which the
patient, securely bonnd, is placed in a bathing
tab and a continuous stream of cold water al
lowed to fall npon his head. This torture, it
may be remarked in passing, was one of tbe
most excruciating known in tho dare ages, re
sulting usually in either insanity or death. To
this asylum of horrors the committee also state
that sane men have been consigned through
fraud and bribery.
The Agrlcnltural Bureau
Gave forth yesterday, one of those oracular
pronnuclamentoa on the coming cotton crop
which astonish and perplex mankind. Accord
ing to that, the average condition of the crop
In ten States was 88 G-lOths, or about twelve
per cent, below par, whatever that par may be.
Let tbe Bureea torn its attention now to tbe
mackerel and herring catch. There is some
thing certain there. We should like also to
have its figures on the Georgia watermelon and
chicken crop. The press ore on chickens latterly,
in Georgia on oooonnt of commencements, has
been “tremengeous,” and they must be a good
deal below par. Sometimes we have been dis
posed to donbt whether brokers don't get np a
corner occasionally, bnt on the whole we reckon
be deals on open market. But the Mtcon banka
have steadily refused to diaoonnt on half grown
pallets for several weeks.
Tst* New York Herald says: “Great as Gen.
Grant Am shown himself to be, and powerful as
hia party is undoubtedly, the suggestion se
riously aooepted on his part (of a third term)
would be virtually to leap from the Tarpeian
Bock, and leave a name in history to be remem
bered with the names of Burr and Arnold."

strong ” was the motto of tbe fair speaker, and
all echoed the sentiment
What Brought Yon Forth To-day?" was
the question propounded by Miss Lizzie W.
Gibson, and she rang tbe ohanges npon tbe
audience in every way possible. Some had
come to whisper love behind their fans, or
through the medium of oovertnotes and oabal-
lstic signs. Others wished ta “take notes”
and oritmise the efforts of the yonng ladies.
Bachelors received no mercy at the hands of
this irate maiden. When provoked to engage
in tbe dnello, it was a source of congratulation
when one of these sapless mortals was shot, and
c maigoed to his narrow home. Widowers,
too, were treated nnoeremonlonsly and declared
to tie moving advertisements of their tailors and
barbers. Lawyers and doctors came in for their
share of reprobation, and even the members of
the fourth estate did not wholly escape. Still,
she was inclined to bsv a word in their behalf
if they would not thick she was “fivhing for a
puff. ’ This, of coarse, Spikes oar gun and we
are dnmb.
‘Delirium. Our Boat Deceiver,” by Mss
Emdy J. Hillyer, was a carious sad interesting
jroonriion, exhibiting much originality. Lord
Byron, the author of the sentiment, was its best
exemplar.
Miss Cabaniss delivered a severe pbillipio
upon ail tbo-e "who walk npon stilts," from
the boy who breaks bis nose in the attempt, to
the most pretentions devotee of ambition who
seeks to foist himself npon the opinion of soci
ety. Her conclusion was that very few are
free from thia fault, while truth and honesty
unite in tffirming thai » menshonldbe judged
by what he really is, and not by hia own esi-
mates.
Chaos and Kosmos,” by Miai Kate Hillyer,
was an unique subject, which eras ingeniously
handled, and betrayed much thought.
Miss Celeste Hnchins also delivered one of
the best essays of tbe day on the word “peri
scope.” With the eyes of a lynx, she did in
deed look around and unearth and expose to
view the foibles and follies of both sexes, giv
ing no quarter to either. Her composition was
read with great emphasis and vivacity and
elicited much applause.
The valedictory, by Miss Lizzie W. Gibson,
was well conceived and admirably delivered.
Especially ware the parting words spoken to
her classmates fall of tenderness and pathos.
Many of them oonld not oonceal their tears.
But as remarked ia the ontset, it ia utterly
impossible to give even the faintest outline of
the several compositions in a single article.
Neither time nor space will permit it. Suffice it
to say the entire exhibition was in the highest
degree creditable. The graduating claaa, too,
are all grown young ladles—well matured in
mind and person, and admirably qualified for
the immediate discharge of Ufa's dudes.
The delivery of degreee end diplomas, and
the baccalaureate address ot President Asbnry,
closed tbe exerciees of the cama>eneemeat
proper. Tbe latter was a touching and finished
production, abounding in happy thoughts and
good advioe. , - .
Before closing, however, we cannot forbear
making manticn of the beautiful art gallery,
which wae the work of the papile. Quite e
number of the paintings wonld have paaed
master anywhere, end betokened greet cere
and ekfll on the part of the teachers, aa
well ae the possession of an peri or gift* by those
who executed them. The Binging eod inrtru-

Mb. Jaa. Butxzrr, a well-known printer, and
CapL Daniel G. Pnilbrick, a well-known eteam-
bofit man, died at Savannah on Monday.
Thz new editor of the Columbus Enquirer re
oentiy delivered himself of the following sneer-
ing effusion on Southern civilization:
It would be an absnrd thing for the Sonthern
people to flatter themselves that in all the ele
ments of civllizltion they lead the world, or
even lead the nation; end yet this is what some
of the men who talk about “onr civilization”
wonld have na believe. Let ns talk frankly.
The South is nut advanced, nor has her civibzi.
tion done much to develop her iesouroes. With
the beet food prodnoing soils, one half the Sonth
depends on the ysnkees fer its bread. The very
implemebts nstd in cultivating their ootton,
rice or tobacco are the inventions of yaokoes,
made in yanke* shops. The gins and wagons,
the best h*ru(*8-, tbe be*; furniture, the best
tools, tbe best cloth, and everything best for
creature oomfort and intellectual enjoyment, as
well as the BiDlee and hymn books, are made
by yaukee firms.
The burned district in Farilan Boston was
worth ten millions more than tbe whole valae
of tbe agricultural lands in this State, and the
difference is not owing to a difference in civili
zation, bnt to the faet that the Faritsn Yankee
saw the necessity for work, and he was neither
afraid nor aihzmed to do it. Even before the
war, intelligent men will tell yon that it Beamed
like another land to enter tbe Yankee States
with their factories, flonrLhizig towns, ample
aohools, splendid churohes, well read libraries,
and well tilled farms, which contrasted foroibly
with the slovenly, half-botched work in tbe
South. This is plain talk, but it is the truth,
and scribblers who write about “onr civil zi-
tion” and denounce ail other degrees, da it
with a Y'ankee pen and ink, on Yankee paper,
and with a Yankee dictionary by their sides if
they are not confident of their spelling.
To which somebody—it sunnds mightily like
Albert Lamxr, the late editor of the Savannah
Advertiser and Bepnblioan—replies editorially
and conclusively in that paper as follows:
Tbe South makes no snoh absurd .claim that
she beats the world in all the elements of civil
ization. Bat as every difficulty that occurs
within her borders is set down to “Kaklaxism,'’
end a truculent Northern press has for years
studiously endeavored to educate the world to
tbe belief that all Bomhern men aro rcffiins and
all Southern women are she devils, the cham
pions ot the Sonth have rightly lost no oppor
tunity to compare her civilization with thst of
her self-constituted censors. It is true that the
Sontb, before the war a sparsely settled oonntry,
with a peouliar institution that acted as a bar
to immigration, did not advanoa rapidly in the
arts and manufactures. Bat her agriculture fed
her people and olotbed the world. Her cotton
built the missive piles that were burned in
13 os ton. sod paid for all the nick naoks and
gim-cracks that tho acute and ingenious
jankea oonld invent and make. And tbe Sonth
raised men and women, the highest ovidenoe of
civilization that she was not ashamed to show
anywhere tn the world. She has no Mrs. B>ech-
era, Susan Anthony* or Victoria WoodhnUs to
exhibit, bnt ehe invites attention to the modest
matrons and maidens of her many households.
She has raised no Fisks, General Howards, Jay
Gonlda or Parson Frothinghams, bnt she gave
birth and nourishment to each as Lee, Hnnter,
Cobb, Johnston and e host of their like. If ehe
bes not prospered rapidly since the war the
chiefest reason is that she has been overrun by
Northern missionaries—political, religious and
of every other imaginable stripe.
Thz Columbus Manufacturing Company has
deelared a semi-annual dividend of four dollars
per share.
Anaz on Broughton street, Savannah, on
Monday night, burned two houses the property
of Capt. Henry Blnn, They were insured for
$3,000 in the Sonthern Mutual Company at
Athena. The loss is not given by the Savan-
nah papers. The lire originated in a millinery
store kept by a Mrs. Oo'.ohetts, from some kero-
sens oil taking fire and the flimes caught that
lady’s dress, burning her so severely thst she
died la s few hours.
A Dnriorn.Tr at Forsyth on Monday last be
tween Mr.. John Founds of Barnsviiie, and T.
B. Potts, postmaster of the former place, result
ed in Potts' being severely eat in twelve places
on the neck and face with a pooket-knife. Some
misnndentanding over a game of billiards was
the oanse of the row.
A Madox correspondent of the savannah
News of Tuesday, write] a latter, from whioh
we extract the following:
Macon is still improving slowly, bnt perhaps
more surely and safely than any city in the
Sonth. There are wild remora afloat in South
western Georgia about cholera here, but, after
diligent inquiry, it seems that tbe city was
never healthier. The reoent rains have greatly
mured the beauty of the Btdewalks and streets,
by washing great gullies, and rendering loco
motion difficult aa well as the necessity of going
alow. In a dark night a stranger would be risk
ing life aud limb to run a fast race any distance.
Watson, however, manages to navigate by tak
ing observations daring the day. The com-
meaqement exeroisea of the Wesleyan Femsle
College are now in progress, with quite a num
ber of visitors from various parts of the South.
Tbe exercises thus far have been very entertain
ing, and eroditable, both to the andienoe and
the performers.
Thz Atlanta Herald and the Typographical
Union collided on Monday, and for a time
there seemed a probability that the Herald
wonld go to the wall. It didn't, however, as
will be seen from the following. Says the
Herald: ,
For some time past we hare had in our em
ploy two printers wbo hive made themselves
obnoxious to the proprietors of the Herald and
whose retention we believed injurious to the
interests of the paper. V.’e, therefore, instruct
ed our foreman of the news room to dismiss
them, and told him that under no circnmstan-
oes wonld they be permitted to remain. On the
foreman hesitating ws immediately requested
him to tender his resignation, assumed charge
of the news room ourselves and made the
necessary changes. Imagine onr astonishment
when all the printers in the newa room at onoe
suspended work and carried the question to the
Typographical Union, alleging that the proprie
tors of the paper had no right to dismiss a
printer. The matter was in some way settled
at the meeting of the Union, but we learn that
tbe position was assumed that the proprietors
of a paper have no right to dismiss a printer.
We desire sow to nndeeeive the Union at
onoe. It is onr purpose to dismiss en; prin
ter whose set-rise* we no longer desire. We
shall neither be ooeroed nor dictated to by
any set of man aa to how ear business shell
be 00 ud acted. As proprietor* of the Herald
*re claim absolute control over every depart
ment of oor establishment, and shall exereiaw
that oontrol in any manner we may deem bene-
fleial to the paper. It ia oertainiy supremely
ridiculous to suppose that sre will oonsent to be
redoeed to the position of puppets, or that any
Union or body at men shall sesame the power
to reverse the positions of employer and em
ploye. If the Typographical Union cannot un
derstand that proprietor! of paper* possess
some rights whioh must be respected, the sooner
they learn that foot the better it will be for
them. For onr pert, we stall submit to any
aacrifloe—a van to the temporary atxapearion of
tbe Herald—before we eoquleso* in e Uwlees
usurpation by an organiz ition which threatens
in this matter to destroy onr authority over onr
own business, and to force npon ns men whom
we have determined not to tolerate in our offioe.
We sre glad to learn, since the above was in
type, thatihis extraordinary attempt to coeroe
the Herald waa not the suggestion or attempt of
any considerable body of the Union,but that the
scheme was voted down at tbe called meeting
of yesterday by the more intelligent and sensi
ble members of tbe Union. Tbe action taken
by the body of the iiersld printers was done
merely to get the issue squarely before the
Union, and there,, in conjunction with all con
servative members, discuss it and meet it fairly
and squarely,

the Association.
Shootino Scbatx at Nzwnan.—We find the
following in the Atlanta Herald ot yesterday:
Nzwnax.—A Mr. Jones, we learn, who has
been in the employ of G. W. Yanoe, got on a
spree on Saturday night last for the purpose of
shooting Mr. V-moa. Not fladiog Ysnee, be
went into the store of Hnnter & Askew, and
after threatening to shoot Bob Hnnter wont
npon the sidewalk and met Burrell Hill—fired
upon him; the ball en'ered tha right side, and
wounded him severely, bnt not dangerously.
He waa promptly arrested and lodged in jail.
There seemod to bo no provocation whatever
for the offense.
A Nasaow Eacarz.—The Lumpkin Independ
ent says:
A negro man named Peter Berry was brought
to town aud lodged in jail yesterday by the con
stable of the 725:h, or Mineral Spriegs diatriot,
under charge of an assanlt with intent to mnr-
der Mr. N. B. W. Thomaston, overseer on Mr.
G. Y. Bank's plantation. The negro plaoed a
loaded gun against the breast of Mr. Thomas
ton and but for tbe interference of his, (the na-
gro’s) wife, who threw np the muzzle of the
gnu just as it waa fired Mr. T. would have been
killed. Thomaston was unarmed and hia esospe
was a very narrow ODe.

Fszaz or an Esoiszeb—Lzavtso the Pas-
sznozb Oabs Behind —The passenger tram
from Atlanta reached Opelika Saturday at half
past twelve, the regular time. At that point,
eaviug the passenger coaches on oue track, the
remainder of the train was shifted to another
bo as to connect with two ice cars from Savan
nah. This done, the engineer. Mulligan, or
some each name, went on, leaving behind the
passenger coacues. Conductor McCoole, who
had ohsrge of the train, was speechless with
astonishment at first. He forgot to say a word,
and stood on the track looking at the fast dis
appearing train. He is not a swearing mm,
bnt the beat natnred, most courteous end clev
erest of conductors, among whom bo is one
of the chief, cannot sometimes keep his an
gry passions duwa. He slammed that old
block, slouohed hot over his eyes, peered
again at the fleeing cars, whioh were fast
winding around a carve, exiiaimed mildly,
“d—n it,” and made for the telegraph offiie.
The passengers cursed loud and strong. Mo-
Ooole never does such things. The fugitive
train went thnndering on ppst fields, tbrongh
hills and dales, darted past Auburn, but wsb
brought up at Loaohapoko. E'ootrioity was

en or orazy engineer had reached the elation.
The construction train stopped the fugitives.
With difficulty tho engineer was taken from hia
engine, the train bucked to Opelika, the remain
der secured, aud Montgomery reached three
hours behind tirun. What has been done with

Mew Orleans Journalist* aa Duellists—An.
te Hellnin Pistol Hem In Isoclines of tho
Crescent City.
Beferring to the late dnsl at Mew Orloansbe
tween B. B, Ithett, editor of tho Fioaynue,
and ex Judge W. H. Oooley, the Biohraond
Enquirer indulges in the following reminisoen-
oies of the dnels among the newspaper men of
that city whioh may be retd with interest. It
says :
The Fioayuno in particular has been quiet
lucky. It never had a man killed or wonnaed;
and this is the first duel it has had sinoe (he
eleotion campaign of 1818, in which any of its
leading editors have taken part, thongn its re
porters have had occasional meetings with their
friends of the local press or outsiders. In the
year referred to, Uol F. A Lumsden, one of
the founders of the Fioaynne, had a duel with
Peter K. Wagner, the old wheel-horse of the
Louisiana Democracy, and the editor of the
Oonrier; and the same year Alexander Bullit, of
the same paper, had a meeting also with Wag
ner. In 1851, at the time of the Lopez Onbsn
expedition, when a riot against the Spanish res.
identa and their sympathizers in New Orleans,
grewjout of tbe execution of the fifty-one yonng
Americans under Colonel Crittenden by Captain-
General Conoha at Havana, a duel took place
at Bay St. djcnls between Judge Alexander
Walker, editor of the Delta, and Mr. Hugh
Kennedy, of the True Delta, which was ended
after an exohange of shots withont a reconcili
ation. The next duel was between Col. Frost,
editor of the Oresoont, and Dr. Hunt—both
Whigs. It grew ont of the aspirations of one of
the Hunts for Congress, in whioh he was op
posed to Frost, who in a speeoh at a ward meet
ing, made some insulting allusion to the Hunt
family. The meeting resulted in the death of
Frost, who was killed at the first fire. It created
a marked sensation throughout the State, a3
Froet was a very popular and promising yonng
man. Next we find Mr. Oarrell, of the Ores-
oent, fighting with Mr. Brabazon, of tbe Trao
Delta, beosose the former had refused to accept
a challenge from the letter’s friend of the Delta,
Joseph Brenan, the yonng Irish refugee. This
was also a bloodless combat. Cob J. O. Nixon,
proprietor of the Crescent, and Col. Breckin
ridge, editor of the Courier, with whom Bur
lingame had a difficulty at Niagara Falls, next
met at Psas Christian aud exchanged shots,
Breokinridge being crippled for life. Then Col.
Hanlon, of the True Delta, and Captain Gib.
bona, of tho Crescent,,having quarrelled over
their morning items, met at “The Oaks,” end
Gibbons was shot through the breast; but sur
vived to fight another duel s few months later
with yonng Jos. Howell, brother-in-law of Mr.
Jefferson Davie.
The Lively Farmers.
Chicago Times.]
The farmers’ celebration of “Independence
Day” at Lanark, in Carroll oonntr, drew to
gether a crowd of 5,000 or 6,000 people.
Among the sentiments inscribed on the many
banners that were borne in the arriving pro
cessions were tbe following:
Tne Farmers’ Movement—Already in twen-
ty-fonr States. It Will Sweep Everything Be
fore It!”
“No Mara Republicans! No More Demo
crats. We Want and Must Hare Honest Men
to Fill Public Positions!"
Who Wonld Be Free, Himself Must Strike
the Blow!"
Corn Must Go Up! Monopolies Mast Come
Dawn 1”
Salary Grabbers, Hunt Yonr Holes!”
Equal and Exact Justice to Alii Special
Privileges to No One 1”
Salary of onr Congressman, One Hundred
Bushels of Cora Per Day! Poor Fellow! ’
“Farmers, to the Front I Politicians, Take
Back Seats!”
The prooeaeions came together in a charming
grove near Lanark. Concealed behind some
bashes on a distant knoll was an emissary from
that organization of “model farmers,” the
“American Protection League” of pig-iron
pirates, with a spy glass in hia sinister eye. He
was trying to discover among the banners one
with the inscription: “Don't oarry yonr move
ment into politioa 1” He did not suooeed.
From Eufanla—Cotton and Corn—A
Fire.
We extract the following from the Enfanla
Times of Tuesday:
Cotton and Coax.—From our own observa
tion, and from the best information we can
gather from onr planting friends, there has
has been a very decided improvement in the
ootton crops hereabouts, but oorn, which has
hitherto been by far the more promising, is fail
ing rapidly from the dry hot weather; it being
generally in thst stage, when it requires rain to
make the grain fall end plump. That ootton
will be muon better in tbie immediate section,
than was anticipated three weeks since, we esc
not donbt, bnt there yet remain two facts which
thou'.d be duly considered in estimating the
crops. First, that it is at least three weeks later
than it was last year, and secondly, tbe acreage
thrown ont this year on account of the wet
weather ia at least equal to the excess planted
thia year over last.
Fax.—Sunday night about two o'clock tha
city wsa aroused by the cry of fire, which proved
to be very destructive. A dwelling house and
kitchen on Orange street, the property of Mrs.
Boxanm Wellborn and oocnpied by Mr. William
Jenkina, were completely destroyed. The fire
originated in the kitchen, and ie believed to be
caused by aocident, as there ia no eridenoe go

The building* destroyed were veined at some
thing over two thousand dollars, and we learn
they were insured to the extent of one thousand
dollars.

rep lira .
The Spanish gunboat Bazm, oame in on tha
2latof Jane and anchored near the Virginias!
her commander not failing to let it be known
that his instructions authorized him to sink her
if she attempted escape. On tho same day in
came the United States steamar Kansas, and
anchored not far from tho Bozin. Not long
after, the Oanadagua arrived. Although every
body knows what the Virginiua has been doing
for the past year, her character aa a blockade
runner being a* clear as day, yet Mr. Tnoring-
ton, who acta as United States Consul at Aspin-
wall, certified that her papers from last port,
Carthagenr, were all en reg!e, and therefore she
waa entitled to protection an a merchant vessel
belonging to the United States.
Commander Reed, of the Kansas, considering
Consul waa technically right, as to letter,
though not in his way of thinaiDg as to spirit
of tho law, conveyed the Virginiua to sea at C
p. 3i of tho 1st instant, and remained outside
of the harbor until she was lo3t to sight in tho
darkness. Tne commander of the (Spanish
steamer Bczm, when he eaw the odds against
him, proposed that tho Virginias should be sent
to the United States for trial, offering to give
security for expenses if she wero not con
demned.
The people here, though generally sympathiz
icg witb the Cuban patriot**, think that in this
instance the United States* fl tg has been abused,
and that Spain has not hud fair play in the
matter. Commander Reed, when interviewed
on the snbjaot, said he intended to call the at
tention of the authorities &t Washington, for
the purpose of having her register taken away
from the Virginias, and he farther says the
Spaniards would bo quite right in sinking
capturing her if caught at sea heading for Cuba.
In neutral ports, however, American command
ers could not do less than grant her the protec
tion she asked for.
On tho day of the Bailing of the Virginias,
the Bczjm did not even get up steam, her
commander deciding to lodge the correspond*
enco that had taken place and his report be*
fore tbe Spanish Government, to be submitted
to tho authorities at Washington. The Virgin-
ins cleared for New York ocastwiso with no
other cargo than the arms and ammunition,
which had been received from New York per
steamer Gelern. Tho Bczan loft Aspinwall on

The Iaontsvlllo Fire.
Louisville, July 16.—The fire last night was
not so disastrous as at first supposed. Losses
will not exoeed .$80,000, with $70,000 or $7”»,000
insurance, in the following companies : iEma,
$14,000; London Liverpool Globe, $10,000;
Commercial, of New York, $6,000; American
Central, of rft. Louis, $5,000; Phcoaix, $7,000.
The balance io in looal companies. The fire
was undoubtedly the wotk of incendiaries.
Every fire engine in tho city was at work when
(.he last fire broke out. Owing to the proxim
ity of tho flimes to the Pablio Library, the the-^
atro and other large buildings, great czcito-
ment prevailed.

At a meeting of a majority of the members of
tho Cortes to-day, it was resolved to approve the
proposition that tho Cortes shall vote a new con*
stitution before closing its session. Maisonavo
made a violent attack on the members nf the
Left accusing them of foroing their views and
measures upon the country. It was finally de
termined by the cancns that tho Cortes should
adjourn for a brief recess, to reassemblo at a
day to bo argrecd upon. The Centre was net
represented in tho cancns.
Mataouave, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
Carvajal, Minister of Finance, and Bergen,
Minister of Justice, have resigned, in order to
facilitate the formation of a homogenous cabi
net. Tho majority in tha Cortes demand a
vigorous ministry nuder Salmeron.
