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.

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.

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 without lullaby or sleeping potion. Oar room, mate in the morning proved to bo PBor. BEUHSB, wbo wsb the principal violiniat at the concert 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. ZLEYXS TOCNO LiPIXS graduated, each of whom reed an original essay, end it is not-too mnch to assert thst for solidity of thought aDd graoe in delivery, they have not been excelled by aoy institution cf the kind in tho Slate. Etpecially wore we pleasod with the eloontion, ami disiiuot ennnciauon of the several readers. En passant, it la bnt proper also to speak ap provingly of the perfect order which prevailed throughout, in the large auditory. Mo land 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 K. Asbnry, in a few brief sentences replete with 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 nora Ltpmsn. Her theme was, “Whispers from the Fines.” This weird subject, so fall of poesy and romance, was skilfully bandied, and the “music of the spheres ” mode to con tribute to tho comfort and snbatantial benefit of the poor and ncfortuDate. “Suffer and be touch of the p'ano, will not soon forget tbe impression left open them. Axmaasacrarv. xxxxs dexxn, d d. 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 privilege to chronicle, yet, inasmuch as the distinguished orator has promised to write ont a synopsis of his remarks for publication in the TzLLOsAra a>d Mxssxxgeb. we ehill not anti eipete tbem at this time. His theme waa litera ture and art, as tvinoed In language or elo qnonce, thought, books, poetry, history, paint ing, mechanics, seienee and sculpture. Worn ont as the erowded andienoe waa by a fire-hoars sitting, not a sign of impitienoe waa manifested, nor did a single listener leave tbe hall. The whole address of the Doctor's literally sparkled with gems of thought and seintillations of wit. It will afford a rare treat to your readers when published. H. II J. jj 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." Give him $50,000 a year for a third term, and be won't care a continental by what name yon remember him either In history or out of it— CovrierJoumcU. 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- mental music >tao were of e superior order.

July 15 —Three new cholera cases to-day, etch of which will, in all proba- bil.ty prove fataL The last attacks of the dis ease ere very violent. , The Columbus Sun of the same date says: Chut,rat nr BzaatiNOHau—We regret to learn that e dispatch reoeived here yesterday reports aholera to be increasing at Birmingham, Ala. Tba dispetoh states that there were ten deaths yesterday np to 12 x, and thst only three ban drod people then remained in tbe city. Mb. Josxfh Lxonibd one of Baldwin oonnty'a oldest dt'zena, died last week in the 7G.h year of his age. The Union and Beooider says more building is going on in MiUedgerJle just now than for many yean paat. Lxrrxas for J. W. Bntke and G. W. Bates, Msoon, are held for postage in the Savannah office. 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, Thz Columbus Iron Works shipped a ten thousand pounds ioe machine last Monday, to Montgomery. Thz sooond annual meeting of the “Sonthern Expressmen’s Mutual Benefit Association” was held it Augusta on Monday, and after electing officers, etc., the members “went for" an ele gant barbecue and bad a good time generally. There are now over twe hundred members of 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. The Oolumbns Sun has the following: 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 foster thsn steam, and word to stop that drunk 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 the engineer we know not. He is Bald to have been drank or crazy, bnt Bhowed no symptoms of either before be darted off on his mud ran. BY TELEGKAPH DAY DISPATCHER. 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 ing to show thst it was tbe set of an incendiary. 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. Fire at JLonlavlIie, Locimixx, July 16.—At midnight last night a fire broke out near the Public Library build ing. Bomberger, Bloom Jt Co.’s store is now burning. There were a nunber of alarms dar ing the evening (time of the first fires are re ported ont. Tue fire is now burning in the neighborhood of the Louisville hotel.

E. Withers & Co.’s fine cut tobacco establishment, destroying that and ths adj oin ing buildings oocnpied by Herbert & Wright a mill furnishing establishment. The loss Withers Jt Oo. is estimated at $3,030, insured in Western and German effioes in this oity, $2,500 in each. Tue loss of Herbert Jt Wright is about $5000—uninsured. The fourth fire was in Bomberger Jt Bloom's block on Fourth street, between Green aud Walnut streets, and des troyed Vernon’s grocery, MsdamBaekley's fan cy goods store, a vacant honso in the block, and damaged Fargny’s restaurant and confectionary. Thelossof tbe latteris estimated at $4,000. Tne particulars of other losses have not yet been re ported. Sfntters and Thing* in Near York City and elsewhere. New Yosk. July 16.—Byron A.

Details of tne Escape or the Virginias, Correspondence from Panama of the 8th oontain? the following detail* of the escape of the steamer Virginius whiah had put in for 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 2d icst.
