Telegraph & Messenger. SUNDAY MOUSING, JULY 27, 1873 THE OEOBGIA. PRESS. Tnx Colombo* Snn, of Friday, has the follow lng: A gentleman wbo bu visited river plantation* twenty-five miles below Columbus, bricks Lock very bad reports concerning the cotton crop. Season vary disastrous. Thx many friends of Rev. Dr. 3. H. Do Votle may tw gratified in knowing that te wee so far recovered from bis late severe ill nr-** as to be able to leave Grlfflu yesterday for Gaines ville, on tbe Atlanta Air Line Road, where be proposes to apend tbe summer. Tut Athens Watchman bits discovered A new enemy to cotton. It aayi: A gentleman from Franklin informed os a few days ago that a new enemy to ootton baa made its appearance in that ooonly. He say* it ia an Insect which bores into the forma, and that they fail off a few days after being punc tured. lie says it is doing modi damage, and that none of the citizens bsve seen anything like it before. Tbe Cartenville Standard of the 2l'.h fur nishes tho following brace of items: Tbs wheat crop in this section bss been un- Density email this season ; bnt little has been brought lo market, and that little is of tn infe rior quality. It seems that onr farmers bare abont concluded to abandon tbe cultivation that important grain entirely, and are tnrnli their attention exclusively to tbo raising of cot too. Some years ago a young man from tbe mral diet riots called at a store in Gainesville, tit and made a bargain wilh a merchant for a hat, with tbe nndtrstandieg that be would pay for it in fur. lie look the bat and left. Some months after be wrote to tbe merchant that was In Arkamate, and aakad him if that was "fur" enongb? “If not,” said ha, “let me know, and 1 wiil try to get furiui'. ' Tbe Oolombna Enquirer hopes tbe rumored doe! between a merchant and a doctor will not take plaoe. The Griffin Star says: A compromise bss been tendered tbe O. K. It. Co. in tbe metier of Isaac Reid's death tbe train • few days ago, which is refused, salt will st onee be insUtnied by bis family for damages in tbe smn of 910,000. Tbe Galnesvilllans get their chickens at oenta E bead. ’i HZ iuI j lined items are from the Gainesville Ragle ; Corn was effored on the streets, Wednesday last, at sixty cents a bushel. Wo learn that there is yet an abundance of corn in tbe bands of onr farmers. Mb. C. U. C. U lack stock has left-at onr office quito s freak of nature, in the shape of oloater of pine borrs. They are forty-eight number, and are attached to a single branch. Atlaxta wants a grain elevator. We bad tboaght grain was in tbs bsblt of getting "high” enough without tbe old of sny “modern appli anoea.” Tbe Quitman Banner bsa this: A man in Mitchell county bsa msde corn this year, which be says was bsrd soon enough to be planted again, and make another crop, and tbe Camilla paper asks wbo ean beat that We know a man In Brooks, who says be has made at one orop, enongb oorn to last him two years. One orop Ibst lasts two years, we elsim, beats two crops in one jear, by upwards of considera ble. Watzrmaw, of tho LaGrange Reporter, is in a stale of uneasiness bordering on trepidation Be esys: Borne ilme ago, wo nolod the fact tbit conn terfslt ten dollar gold pieces wero In circula tion ; bnt this canned ns no alarm. Now, how. ever, It Is stated that pewter fire cent pieoes are passed aronml, and we tremble, for we may eet hold of ono before tbe year is gone. Alas, if saeh should be tbe ease! Tnx Albany Nows of Friday has tbe following with referenoe to tbe crops: Tbe drought which prevailed in this locality for fiTe weeks, doing mnch damage to tbe crop, was terminsted lost Saturday at 1 r. u., by a general rain, and nines then hoaT; showers have been frequent and wide-spread. We donbt if there ta a npot In Southwestern Georgia that Is not flow n mtlo loo wst for tbo good of tbo crops. This timely rain rescued much oorn that waa npon tbe point of min, and will increase tbe weight of that that was too far advanced for serious Injury from tbo dry spell. Abont 20 per oent. of tbo orop was, by bad onlinre, or no cnltnre at all, and the burning drongbt, totally destroyed. Fifty per cent, is ns Hue i crop ns ever grew In this region, and tbe re maining 30 per oent. will average above half orop. Cotton is In terrible peril, and plantors are more gloomy Ilian wo ever saw them. Tbe rain of Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, aoltoDcd tbe leaf, emboldened the caterpillar and developed tbo very worst apprehensions ns to his presence and strength. He is universal, and has opened brisk operations all along tbo aklrmiab line. Every fluid in this county, nnd we donbt not In Southwestern Georgia below Sumter and Ktowart, Is infested, and the second hutching Is vigorous, nnmerons nnd voracious. Snob planters ss Itoyt, Lockett, Smith, Wsrron, Wilson, Alagbee, McLarin, Davis, Jordans, Managers, Evans. Mayo, Camp, Walker A Cor. ley, Dozier, Wallers, Wbllobead, Willingham, and a boat of others of rqnal dignity and relia bility, pronounce the opinion that tbe prospect for oomplele disaster is witbont parallel at this early stage of thegamo. Many fields will be strip ped before Sunday night, and it Is believed tbo work of destruction will bsve bcon fnlly and fearfully achieved within a fortnight. Many are experimenting with Roysll's and Whisenant** preparations, and bigb hopes are entertained that they will materially check tbo worm, if not suooeasfnl in destroying him. Col. Lockett will have aided about one (Lonsand dollars' worth of Royal!'* by to-morrow night, and will nsa abont five baadrnl of Whlsenr.nt’*. CapL Boyt bss used Royall's on one hundred acres, and others are sending in ordors faster than tbo Messrs. Welch osn fill them. Tbo effloacy of these poi sons will have been folly tested by to-morrow night, and we shall then be able lo report crop or no orop. If these experiments fail, the crop Is gone, and rain is the doom of Southwestern Georgia. Rates.—Jesse Wallers reports tbo poison a oomplele sucooss, and Cap!. Boyt says results are satisfactory. He is bsppy. Still Latkb.—At snndown yesterday evening Oot. Lockett passed our window, and expressed hla belief that tbe poison is a successful remedy. Ills face was boaming with gladness, and as be left sold: “Yes, I believe tbe preparation will kill them; and that we can save tbe crop. - Tbe Rome Oommcraial, of Friday, publishes an aooount of a homicide wblob was committed at Kingaton on Wednesday. It seems that some lima ainoe CapL llofas' stables were burned, and oaveral negroes were arrested on tbe charge of lnoendiarism. One of tbe negroes turned Blate's evidence. Tbe whole parly were in jail at Cartersville. Un Tuesday night the Slate's evidence negro broke jail, returned to Kingston and attem pted to rob a hotel. He was parsned, captured, and eonfined In tbe cahboose until next morning, when be was to bo taken to Car- tersvilie. Jnst before tbe arrival of tbe train which was to tike the bailiff, John Nevclis, and his prisoner to Cartersville, Nevells went to tbe oalibooee for tbe negro, and while going to the depot they pasted M. T. Hill, wbo was standing within twenty or thirty feet of the train which bad jnst arrived. Tbe negro msde some insulting remark and Mr. Hill replied that be, the negro, ongbt to be bnng. At this tbe negro oomwenoed carsing and -basing Hill i a mast outrageous manner. Hill made some reply and moved as If to strike or kick tbe negrr. Nevells ordered Hilt to go away. This order not being obeyed as promptly ns Nevells tboaght it ought, be repeated it, at tbe same time drew bis plsto! and fired, tbe ball striking Hill in tbe left breast, about one inch below ibe heart, ranging downward and lodging in Ihe bowels. Nevells attempted to fire a seoond shot, bnt was prevented by (he t-yj.tsn.iers. Nevells was arrested by the marshal and com mitted to tbe call boose. Daring tbs night be made bis escape with asiistance from the out- aids. Mr. Hill died Thursday evening. He bss been section mi-ter oa tie Rome Railroad for about eighteen years, and is a reliable, indns trions and peaceable man; he is abom forty- fire year* old, is married, and has five or six ■mall children. Ilis sodden deith will leave hi- family entirely unprovided for. Mr. Nevells ir aleo a married man, and bore a good reputation as a quiet and peaoeable man. The shooting of Mr. Hill is denonnoed by oil who witnessed it and are cognisant of tbe tacts m brutal and unnecessary murder. Tax Atlanta Herald of yesterday has ibe fol lowing aoeonnt of “ a pretty rongb case ” lately developed in ihst city: There is much excitement in business circlta in Atlanta in conaeqnecoe of tbe sudden de parture of Mr. Charles H.

Oae Ienrr.fd jnrist surprised u* bv tbo remark, that amid the dis tracting, and, (we are tempted to sny) demoral izing scenes of tho court-room, ha had fonnd time to read a volnminous biography of ihn pious fonndnr of his chr.rcb, and bad at length progressed to tb3 eirty fifth yearef bis age. At that advanced period he was preaching from three to four timet (eery day, frequently riding fifty miles on Irnrso hack lo fill his ap pointment. On the tf mperanee qncstion too, ho was 100 years ahead of the age. It wss be that ordained that there sbonld be no dram drinking Motbodists, and even probihiledcbnrcb members from selling apiritnons liqnors. Bnt that old worthy bad be lived to tbe present day, wonld have seen that absolute proscription in mnttors of conscience, is not tbe moat effectual method of checking ihe evil scnglrt to be abated. The old Adam in human nature, risesup against such manditea, and tbo result is a reaction in the wrong direction. Temperance is indeed next to godliness, nnd inaeparable from it; but it can alone be pro- moled by precept and example, conjoined with faithful preaching against drunkenness and excess of every kind. Any nbsolnte denial of tbe cso of God’s ereatnrfs ia tho absence of s direct revelation to that effect, looks like con travening Hia la'ws, and an infringement of per sonal liberty, whioh experience bas shown will not be submitted to.

We have ginned one hundred and six teen bales on it, and it hat never choked nor bro ken the roll. It picks the seed clean and makes good lint. We have bad considerable experience with various kinds of ootton gins, and can, with safety, say yours is the best we have ever seen run. THOMAS HOOKS, ELIJAH LINGO. Colonel Nathan Bass, of Rome.
