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. __ Another rbase ot ihe Heathen Chi nee (laesilou. fifif 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 rosy iu the city hospitals, ittsng them Jndge Asher Bates, a man who held the highest place In the esteem of bis citizens. 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. -S»v« jtar 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 sion confcned the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon Rtv. A. J. Battle, President of Merest University, klaoon; and the degree of Doctor of Laws upon the Rev. John N. Waddell, D. D., of the University of Mississippi. A Rimirr Syasbxd.—W. R. Keen, the sheriff of Laurent county, was dangerously •Ubbed ia throe plicae last Saturday, bat the correspondent who gives ns tbs information dies not »y by whom. 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. Th. Ih^kToTu,. oolored people hereby tendered to the white citizens of Clinton and vioinity for many acts of kin rinses in endrovor* ing to make the turnout a snooeas Yoon, etc., More Advice to the Fa drain, rore*e end Foes Crope, emtxete Everything. 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.

Hia manner of dancing attracted general attention and comment. Mr. Thomas White, also a yonng man, remarked that Mr. Stephana danoed well.

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.

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.

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.

The deadly bolt h.s struck a lightning rod peddler in Sullivan county, lad., and there have been few more cheerful gatherings there aboulB than that of the bereft farmers who per formed for him the last sad rites. Bat again are they sorrowful, for agents of rival faoiories are flicking to the locality to show that the strokes peddler didn’t hive the right kind of rod. Six roughs penned a Natohi z reportor in an alley, and were thinking how they would batter his hend, when four of them fell into an old sewer, and a wotnac soalded the other two.
