Very Mud and .Nlugtiltar Coincidences,
The Western papers report two very singular
and most melnncholly coincidences at having
recently ocoornd in that section. Tna first is
that of the death on July 29, at Hillsdale,
liiob., of ltev. Charles 8. Adams, cf the Pres-
byt c>run chnrch at that place, and bis wife
within nlno hours* time of each other. The
former wm* Aged tvventy-six yean and the latter
freveoty.four. Both died of chilli), with which
they wore attack*! about the same time. Tho
coincidence in this instance la made the more
noticeable from the fact that, a3 is said, two
jears ago an older brother of Mr. Adams, who
was of the name age es the latter w^s at tho
time of his death, died, and that his wife too
died nine bonrs after him. Tho Kay. Mr.
Adams op that occasion pray* d that he and hie
wife should thin depart together at the same
time—a prayer which has most 8 v r*ngoIy been
aaswered. The other ooincidenoo is reported
from Ilill&boro, O.—it will be observed that the
nomenclature of localities oven is almost tho
tame—and conveys an account of the death of
a yonng man named Moses Patton not far from
that town. While riding to visit his intended
bride he was attack by ligLtnlng, which in*
■ antly killed hlmstlf and his horse. The coin
cidence in thU case Us fonnd in the fact, as re
ported, that two years ago a brother of the
yonng man w»s thrown from his horse and
killed while on his w*y<o visit tbe same ysnng
lady, to whom he w*s also engaged to be
married. __

A S*n f rancho correspondent of the New
York Graphic draws a frightfal picture of the
rivig 1 of leprosy among tha Chines* residents
of that city. Thero are over 200 of these pitiable
creatures known to be in the city, and probably
many more, as the Chinese are sly, acd know
better than to expose a faet which wonld drive
them ont of the oenntry. The res oil is that
they isolsto their lepers as much as possible,
and pay their physicians to testify that tbo
dead man died from some other cause. The
argument that the disease is not contagions ba
ccate it does not spread among the whito peo
ple is proved to be fal>aoiona in Ssn Francisco
as it has been proved in every otter place. Two
or three white people hare already died of lep

Ohio and Virginias—A Contrast.
The contrast between the resolutions adopted
by the Ohio Democracy and their brethren in
Virginia ia very striking—one, too, that does
n it, in onr jadgment, illustrate either the wis
dom or the manhood of the latter. With an almost
certainty of retaining their hold upon the State
and delivering such a blow to tbe “Shaok
Naely” party within its limits as wonld com
pletely annihilate it, L‘.e Virginia “Couserva
tite*,” ** they call them seise*, had nothing to
ssy of Grant bnt these tame words:
RiAoIvcd, lhat we will jodge President Grant
impartially by his effioial action, and will cor
dially co-operate in every m< a .ore with his Ad
ministration which insy be bentfi ^eut in its de
sign and calcnlated to promote tbe welfare of
people and to cultivate tbe sentiments of
good wiil between the different sections of the
Union.
This, too, in the lnrid light of the Louisiana
infamy, and the black catalogue of outrages
open law and liberty which stain tbe record of
current events Is this “land of the five.”
We cannot understand the reason for snch
silly chatter, unle»3 it was to lure back Mosby,
Lyon, Wise and those other free lanoea who,
while swallowing Grant, are supposed And their
s'omachs too wetk for the loathsome dose of
Hngk« and bia ciew. Whether or not it will
bate this effect remains to be seen. Granfs
answer to this soft sodder was prompt and
characteristic. lie assure* Hughes of hia hearty
sympathy, and promises to aid him with all tbe
power of administration plunder and placemen.
He ann:nacos that he will throw the whole
power of tbe government in favor of tbe
Radicals, and this declaration, made while
tbe “Conservatives" were pasting the above
resolutions, shows with what contempt he re
ceives their overtures. If there were not Ibe
very strongest reasons for believing that the
“Conservatives” can and will win a splendid
viotory, this tame and maimed declaration wonld
be construed to indicate conscious weakness or
oowardly fear.
Bat what said the Ohio Democracy—with a
desperate battle before them, and the memory
of a series of defeats to snbdae, if each a thing
were possible, their heroio spirit? They
solved
G. That we condemn wltbont reserve the
late act of Congress granting additional salaries
nnjast and nr jnstifi ible, and demand its
immediate and unconditional repeal, and we
denounce every member of Congress, whether
Republican or Democrat, who happened the
law, or received and retained the money pro-
cared thereby, and we especially de nonet** the
oondnet of President Grant in using the iifli
enoe of his high position for it* p*»hsige, and
whose official siguatore made it & law.
7. That (he act of tbo President in setting
up by the bayonet a government in Louisiana
not cnoten by her people, and bhving no title
whatever to rale over them, was a flagrant vio
lation of her rights and of tho Federal Consti
tution.
These aro the words in which the sons of the
Old Dominion shoo'd have formulated both
tbelr indignation and their resolve to make no
compromise with the devil of Radicalism. They
go straight to (bo heart of the irreooncileable
difference between the friends and the enemies
of tho Amorlcan Union and the American Con
atitotion, and of all places in the land would
have been most In plaoe in n convention of
Virginians. Wo regret that they were not
heard there. Oar brethren in that State are
fighting their battle on tho rquare, manly issne
of white or black government for their State.
That is well; but wo ennnot reconcile the wis*
dom of such a policy with soft woids for tbe
man of all men who is moat anxious and most
determined, if it be possible, to deliver them
into the hands of tbe negroes.

A Very Yaloabla improvement#
The papers are telling wonderful tales about
an Improvement in cotton ginning machinery,
the invention of Joseph Kslston, of Texas. It
il described as a series of machines, which will
take the ootton in any condition—even in the
hull if ao gathered—and entirely separate it
from all trash, delivering the cotton in so clean
and well ginned a condition as to raise or im
prove \t several grades above the classification
that it woald have had if turned ont from any
other gin. It is said that it will not only save
much waste in the preparation of cotton for
market, but will enable planters to gather more
from their fields. Of oourse it is a good thing
and a “big thing" for planters, if it will do all
thla.
Dioano Contcbeip —The Board of Trustees
of the UaiTersity of Georgia at their late ero

Warlike.
Grant hinted very strongly yesterday that
If England didn’t do oertain things she wonld
oatcb it hot before she knew it. This, in re
sponse to some pressure by one Governor and
one Mayor who hail from Minnesota, and who
®»F fhev can't hold their folks back much
longer from marching into British territory and
releasing certain prisoners held by the British
authorities on the charge of attempting to kid
nap a British subject. The British subject in
question is a worthless impostor and adven
turer calling himself Lurd Gordon, whom some
New Yorkers who stood his bail for $40,000—
and which ho forfeited—attempted to arrest
through tho xnfdiam of the Minneapolis de
tectives. The attempt failed, and the detectives,
or some of them, are now eojoying the hospital
ities of tho jailor at Manitoba. This is the
whole story, we believe, and as there is an
eleotion coming off in Minnesota next fall
Grant must ta’k fleroe to please tho sovereigns
out there. That's about all there is in it, we
guess.
A Foot and Ills Money are Easily
Parted#
Under this head, the Romo Courier h&s this
to say:
The Atlanta Constitution and the Herald, in
thmrqtaxotio ideas of journalistic enterprise,
haye each chartered a special engine and car to
carry their mails over the Western railroad to
Macon, at a o oat of $2,000 per month. They
do this, they say, in order to supply the back-
woods citizrns of Macon with the earliest news.
Now, considering the fact—patent to every
newspaper man in the State, outside of Atlanta
—that the Maoon TELiauirn and Messengxb
contains mere wholesome, good, honest, relia
ble news and reading matter in one issue than
both tbe Atlanta gas-bags together contain in a
week, we can but wonder at their egotiatio pre
sumption no leas than their business folly.
A New Hall road Consolidation.
The Beaufort (S. a) Republican states that
negotiations aro pending which promise to re
sult in a new railroad combination. It is pro
posed to effect a consolidation of the Georgia
railroad, the Savannah and Charleston railroad
and the Port Royal railroad, ao that they will bo
operated as one road, under one management
This is to be done by the purchase of a controll
ing interest in the stock of tbe Savannah and
Charleston railroad by the Georgia railroad.
This consolidation, says the Republican, will
letd at no distant day to a still more powerful
and extecdsd combination, reaching from St.
Louis to the Sonth Atlantio seaboard. It will
probably include the SL Louis and Southeast
ern, or the Chattanooga, Nashville and North
western, the Western and Atlantic and the Iron
Moan tain.
Tho above project, every one will admit, is
one of the most important that has been mads
in railroad matters in a long time, and should it
be brought into practical effect its results will
be felt.
Colored School Celebration In Clla-
ton#
Clinton, Ga., August 4,1S73.
Editor* Tdegraph and Messenger: The an
nual parade of colored children took place here
on the 2d instant, and knowing that a goed
number of your many readers would be gratified
in hearing from this large portion of our citi
zens, I felt constrained to believe that you would
give this communication a place in ycur col
umns.
The 2d of August, tbe day set apart by the
“hardy sons of. toil" to give their children a
genera! “jubilee,” was a most propitious one.
It tu clear and cilm; not a cloud was visible
in the horizon; natare seemed to have put on
a new dres«, and even “Old Sol appeared to
vie with all the surroundings in making it ooc:-
fortable for the little ones.
At 10 o’clock the prooession, numbering
about 300 children, headed by a band of music
from your beautiful city, Hen. J. B. Devtanx,
who ia at present in charge of the school. Rev.
Robert Strickland and Blanton Hardeman, Su
perintendent of Sunday-school, married through
the village and reiurnod to the grounds set apart
for the exercises. The dialogues and recitations
were without fault, and woold^iave done credit
to older heads. After partaking of a fine bar
becued dinner, children and parents returned
to their homes without anything oocurring to
mar the Dlaasuroa of the day.

From every aide comes tbe glad news that
tbe corn crop in Georgia, now actually made,
will be tbe largest harvested for many years
past.
Taking ooauael, at leant to some extent, by
past experience, the returns from most of the
oountiro show that placteia have devoted a
larger area to the oereals the present
than nsnvl. The product of oats, too, has bean
large, so that the food s tuition bids fair to be
easier and more hopeful next spring, than at any
period sines the war,
Jnst hers, then, we wish to put In a word of
admonition. L*t the farmers begin in time to
husband and economize their grain and forage,
if they would be happy and independent
another year. It is a carious fact that seasons
of icarcity almost invariably follow foil barns
and heavy provision crops. Toe reason of this
is obvious. The precious grain is wasted by
improvident freedmen, and the corn crib key
remains In the lock, If, indeed, there be a lock
to tbe door. For a brief season hogs, horses,
poultry and cross road storekeepers enjoy a per
fect carnival, and grow aleck and fat. The lat
ter, especially, trade for corn all day with the
freedmen, and some of them on the s!y at
night tco. Of course there is no law prohibit
ing this traffic with our enfranchised fellow*
cit.zens of African descent, albeit the fact is
patent to all, that nine tenths of tbe prodnots
sold were stolen from their employers.
Bat catching, you know, before hanging, al
ways; aid thanks to legal quibbles, technical!
ties ar.d balderdash, it ia n*xt to impo^ible to
oonviot any cf these enterprising parties in
court of justioe. Iu the meantime, the oontented
faim?r, rejoioiog in his abundant store, takes
no heed of the rapid aubsidenoe of hie corn pile,
until at length rudely awakened to the reality,
be finds tbe generous fruits of his toil well nigh
exhausted, and begins too late to save and econ
omize. We ask onr farmers if this picture has
not been fathfully portrayed, at least in a mul
titude cf instances ?
The writer once know an old gentleman who
cultivated reclaimed marsh and rush land, after
honsiDg a corn crop which averaged fifty-two
bnsbels per acre, by the depleting processes
above described, redact d to the necessity of
buying corn early in May.
Take warning, then. Calculate what food is
necessary to keep ycur stock in good condition,
and maaeure ont and deposit a week’s rations in
another building at a time, and keep the key to
the oorn crib in your own pocket. This is upon
the hypothesis that you do not superintend tbe
feeding of stock In person, whioh is by far the
better plan.
Indiutrionsly save all the pea and potato
vines, crab end swauip grass, millet, rice and
wheat straw, sog*r cane tops when out before
frost, and all other descriptions of provender
suitable for cattle, sheep and horses. In the
long winter nights they will eat almost anything
of the sort, if cut fine and salted and moistened
& little. Animals thrive better, too, on an
abnndance of long forage and little grain, than
they do when tbe role is reversed, and the
former treatment is also much the least expen
sive.
TOE GEORGIA PREJ9*.
To sum np tbe whale matter, begin immedi
ately at the close of harvest to enconomiza
your forfl resources of erery description, and
instead of empty tcirns and grain bills to annoy
yon tbo following year, after such a season as
the present, a goodly store will be left over,
either for maikjt, or to supplement the next
crop. Verbumsat.
**lie Great Seal ni* the Confederate
N later#
A friend In New.Yjrk sends us a most inter
esting and reoondite pamphlet from the press
of Kirvand & Towers, Washington city, D. 0.,
giving a full history and description of the
Great and Broad seal of the Goofed irate States
A# * marie*
The seal was established under a joint resolu-
tion of the Oongrcs) of the Confederate States
of America, passed and approved April 30,
18G3. It was as follows: >
Rasolved (by the Congress), That the seal of
the Confederate States shall consist of a device
representing an equestrian portrait of Wash
ington (after the statue which snrmounts his
monument in the Capitol tqoare at Richmond),
surrounded with a wreath comopsed of the
principal agricultural prodnets of the Confed
eracy (cotton, tobaroo, sugar cane, corn, wheat
and rice), and having around its margin the
words: “The Confederate Slat*s of America,
twenty-second February, eighteen hundred and
sixty-two,” wilh tho following motto:
* indice
Hon. J. F. Bar j imin, Confederate States
Secretary of State, under (his action, on the
20.b of May, instruct*d Mr. Mason, the Con
federate Minister at tbe Court of St James, to
have tbe seal execated in England, giving foil
and minute directions as to the s : ze and the let*
tering, device, legends, eto., to be inscribed
upon it.
Hon. James M. Mason employed the noted
artisan Mr. Wyon to do the work, whioh was so
elaborate that it required several months to
complete it. The seal was made of solid silver,
at a cost of $700 proent currency, aud weighed
several pounds. Lieutenant Cnapman, O. S. A ,
was charged with the delivery of the 6eal by Mr.
Mason, and faithfally performed his misiion,
via Bermuda and Halifax, and from the latter
place to Charleston, S. C., through tbe blockade
runners of Messrs. Fraser, Trenbolm & Co.
Tho paper before ns contains also a very
learned and interesting disquisition upon the
origia of seals, signets and eotignp, tracing
them far back to the days of Moses, and also
to the Chaldeans, Assyrians, Grecians, Romans,
Carthaginians, and later still to William the
Conqueror and the aeal affixed to Magna Char
ter in the reign of King John.
In the Middle Ages they constituted tbe only
Impressions or autographic communications
made by the noblesse, who thonght it beneath
their dignity to learn to read and write, and
confided all snch matters to the clergy or pro
fessional scribes. It was thus that the croro
mark had its origin. Even Charlemagne was
unable to write his name.
In a letter to Col. C. C. Jones, junior, attor
ney and counsellor at law, 61 Wall street. New
York, the finder of the seal says:
“At considerable trouble and expense, I have
been so fortunate as to rescue this interesting
memorial from oblivion, and probably a van-
dalio melting pot. I have had many electro
type impression) of it execated, and in defer
ence to yonr antiquarian and arct^logical
tastes and devotion 10 tbe Lost Cause, have the
pleasure of handing you, herewith, tbe first one
finished, whioh you may regard as a proof im
pression before letters.
My object has been two fold; first, to afford
many of our compatriots an opportunity of
possessing and holding in mem^riarn the fac
simile of so unique and charming—in spite of so
many sad recoiiections—a souvenir, for which
purpose they will bs offered for sale; and seo-
ond, to use the proceeds of the sale, less bare
oost of the medals, cases, etc , in the relief cf
as many as possible of the needy and afflicted
of the Sooth, whose name, also, ia legion.
Aud with this motive I beg you to suggest the
name of some one in Savannah and in Augusta,
who would be willing to assist me, as agents in
thia benevolent s'guliry undertaking.”
These medals are now ready for delivery
to such persons as may desire to possess a
specimen. Tney are furnished in gold, silver
and broczs—prioe fire and seven dollars each
according to oost of the cases.

man by the name of Stephens waa daneing. Hia
manner of dancing attracted general attention
and comment. Mr. Thomas White, also a
yonng man, remarked that Mr. Stephana danoed
well. Mr. Stephens heard of Mr. White’s re-
matk, took umbrage at the same, sought hia
father, bad a oonsolution with him, and wont
to Mr. White and knocked him down. Mr.
White Irtse and cot Mr. Stephens twice—in tbe
temple and back of the head. Tho* ended the
sff.tr there. We are pained to learn of this
sadsffiir, and especially so to learn that Mr.
Stephens died on Shoraday night.

Aw Upeon ooanty moonlight picnic most be
something superlatively delicious, judging from
the following from tbe Toomaston Herald:
A picnic on Europe's royal rivers, the snow-

broad breast, the dark Danube harrying through
Muggy foreets, by peleee walls, the castled
Rhine, whose vine-crowned waters ever flawing,
the rushing Bbone, tn whose cerulean depths
the (ky nnm* wedded to the wave, th* yellow

Seam, wbar* feeblest glasses fairest forma, and
th* dashing Tbemae, on whose bosom are bon
the riches of the world, wonld be much enjoyed,
bnt the moonlight picnic last night, at Themp-

m seams to ns snrpseisd them all in pleasure.
We hope the mea who wrote this will have no

Nzw York, Angast 11 —Collector Arthur has

Cholera ffoles.
Under the above head the Knoville Press and
Herald, of Saturday, says:
The reports from Chattanooga in regard to
the cholera are no more or less favorable than
those published yesterday. The reappearance
of the disease is attributed to imprudence on
the part of tbo people—tbe town being fi led
with waiermellon* and all kinds of vegetables,
and the people eating them very impradentJy.
The present visitation of the disease is ooxfined
exclusively to negroes, and those whose habits
of living are indecent. On Thursday night two
negroes are reported as having died with chole
ra. and on yesterday several deaths are reported
The milroad engineer at Rogersville, whose
sickness has keen mentioned before, died
Thnreday ovenirg. His case is pronounced as
being that of cholera.
As far as we have been able to learn, the dis
ease at varions other points is gradually abating,
and we hear of no new outbreak* through the
country.
Tho news from Jonesboro grows more favor
able with each day. For forty-eight hoars end
ing yesterday noon, no death had oocnrred and
there were strong indications that the disease is
fast loosing its hold on the desolated town.

The Fbassisq Pbitiliq*.—Saya the Balti
more Gazette, the abolitiou of tbe franking
privilege already seems to show great advantage
to the GoTernmeht. It is much to be feared,
however, that next winter the Congressional
tinkers will try to restore it again, as the only
persons who ere not absolutely bentfitted by
the ehsnge in the postal laws, sre the Congress'
men themselves, and the politiolans who im
properly used tbe franks of their reprrsents-
tives. The publio journals throughout the
ooantry shen'd take a decided stand against any
change in the present law, and particularly
ahoold they oondemn the proposition to silence
the press by ouoa more* permitting their cx
changes to pass free through tho mails.
Hox. L. Q. 0. Lamae.—The LcGrauge Re
porter, referring to ihe reoent visit to this city
of the above named gtntiemtm, says:
Ool. Lamar ia a noble specimen of the ante
helium Southern Oongrctsman; a man without
fear and without reproach; a gentleman of
cultured intelleot and lofty honor. It ia a good
sign to see aooh men en'.erirg Congress from
the South—good both for Congress and for the
South. If ill health does not interfere we ex
peot to see Ool Lamar tbe acknowledged leader
of Southern Democrats in the Houae.
The deadly bolt h.s struck a lightning rod

are flicking to the locality to show that the
strokes peddler didn’t hive the right kind of

Six roughs penned a Natohi z reportor in an
