The Mutation. The bssioeit end sgrienttanl situation m ikii put of Georgia Is, on the whole, not dis- Ntngisg. The grass crops produced thiff year sill earns nearer an sdeqnste supply for the ttnaera than any year sines the wsr. The oot- loo orop is threatened everywhere by tbe cat erpillar, bnt tie danger it leas than it was at lUfl time Ust jeer. We believe that the cotton project of tbo section trading with Maoon will U eootldcrably increased over that of laat year. Than, at to tho financial condition, that Is alnteproTsd. The people havo been working bard and prsetiaiog a moro rigid economy. Trads baa been light all throngh summer, and U vas oocipolled to be light by the scarcity of coney and the restriction of crodit.

A VixniaalLT Faria.—The New York Stock £«bang« was thrown into a fever of exoito- want on Thursday morning, by tbo ronowil of maun of the aerioas Illness of Commodore Toolerbllt, ind MR latter by reports that he via dying. For a time there was a great rash 1* sad stock,, and Western Unlon was rattled Ion, assisted by the bears, from $9$ to 87; ; Uka Shore fell from 93to9t|; Harlem yielded tothe pressure from 130*1 to 130J and New York Central from 104£ to 103$. The dealings in Vanderbilt stock were large and attended with exsitemsnL Inquiry showed that there was no taodatlon for the rumored illness of the Com- Bodare, and there wjls a sharp reaction from ta lowest point of the day. Seniors accident occurred dating a recent ibaoderstorm at Oil City, Ta. The lightning •imek an oil tank, capable of holding 10,000 tonala of oil, but ojntaiuicg about 3,100 at the time of the occurrence. Tho bolt struck toa top of the tank at tho edge and ran oom- PUtsly ironed the penphery of the top, catting •* tie head of every bolt that fastened the ^ to th* aide. The top was raised about two tret by the eoucn»aion, and the oil took fire, wudieg the lauurD^e body of dame high in the ***• la an instant the top fell back to its posi tion, lnstentlv smothering tho fire inside. The *3 burned off the onteid* of the tank, ind no father damage was done. The covering was M two inches oat of its original position after RU. Bkb hnnuaixia.—Tbo second instalment °f Mesnonite immigration from Rassia, irrived • the Hamburgh Jteimer for New York on Tbanday.

The bind was composed of } *tj-ooe idnlta and lixty-nino children. They "* bound for Dakotah.' The Ust RiaMer *f Use Plans Har pen. Tba Harpera of New York City, are, as onr readers know, men not only of the purest lojlty bnt also cf a fervent piety that mike* them shining lights, even among the elect of the Young Men'a Christian Association, and the* saints and “Christian statsamsa" of that highly fsvored country. They go to church regularly, msks long prayer*, and oeatrlbut* liberally to all agencies for evangelizing the heathens. They are, in abort, truly good men after the Deacon Smith—of the Cincinnati Gazette— pattern. They also publish “a Journal of eiviUzitlon" called “Harper’s Weeekly,” the circulation of which is larger, perhaps, than any similar paper ever printed in thia country. It ia perhaps the moat malignant and venomous assailant of the Sontb, and the Southern people, to be fonnd on the continent, and takes a delight almost fiend ish in taunting, reviling and defaming every thing and everybody—ezoept the negroes, seal lawaga and carpet-bag thieves—South of the Potomso river. Scarcely, a number is issued that does not oontain an insnlt to, or a libel by pen or pencil of the respectable and represents tlvo people of this Motion. It knows no let np or thidsw of tnrning in its devilish war, and seems to grow more devilish aa the events and passions of the war recede, and appear likely to cool. And yet Southern people—Georgians patronize it—actually pay their money to read its abuse of them. In the last iaane of this sitsnio sheet we find something that appears to tu should have wide circnlation at least in Georgia. It says in thia State no paper is permitted to exist that will not eld in the perseontlon of Republicans, white and black, and thus uphold a tyranny that ia driving labor and oapital from the State. That is ils last and boldest slander. The editor knows that Bbpnblloan papers have been pub lished in Georgia ever ainoe the war, some of which would never have been “permitted to exist” in any otheroonntry in tbe world bnt the Sontb, filled aa they were with the vilest abase of the people and the moat inoendiary, inflam mable appeals to the baMSt paaaions of thane' groes against their former masters. He knows that theao papers have not only been “permit ted to exist” by ihoee whom they dally insulted and villified, bnt that they have been petted and fostered by Stale and National subsidies aud plunder. They havo been made the gSI clal organs of tbe rulers of tbe people whose pockets were plnndered in order that they might live. AU this is history, and yet, in its face, this journal of civilization—this organ of these pions men—deliberately falsifies the reoord ini niters a slander so base, so grots, and so ntterly nntonble os to almost exoite onr wonder. It seems to ns tbit those of onr peoplo, who mnit have tbelr literitnre illustrated by cats stolen from English periodicals, had belter pay their money for some other journal that does not so systematically and gleefully slander them. If tbelr stomachs crave snob food, anrely they_can find it somewhere else not ao highly seasoned with insnlt and libel. THE OEOR6UL PEERS.

TIte Dlslrtmed Negroes of Ihe District Laat week a memorial aigned by C00 negro laborers, in the employ of the Government of tbe Dlatrlot of Colombia, was forwarded to President Grant at Long Branob, setting forth that they have not been paid their wages sinos the first of Maroh lest, and are indebted for honao rent and food, nnd praying the Presi dent to oompei the Dlstriot Government to pay them. Tbey represent that they are alLKepnb- beans, and hare voted the Repnblloan ticket at every election slnoe they beoama freedmen, and think the President onght to stand by them in their distress, and proteot them against tbe Dlstriot soalpers. Let it be considered that these negroes were collooted by tbe Government from tbe fields of Virginia as “leordt of the nation" and domieil- ated there—fed for months by “do bnro” on rations of coffee, tobaooo, pork and navy beans in order to regnlate the politics of Washington city and tho Dlstriot—that finally, when “do bnro” lapsed a Diatriot Government and a wild and magnificent system of iooal improvements were adopted in order to giro these “wards” employment, whereby a pnblio debt of abont twenty millions has been created, and thongh tho white property-boldeis are ground to the dost by tbe tax collector, yet snoh extravagant waste and profligacy reign that the negro la borers employed in grading tbe streets have been nnable for five months to oolleet tbelr wages. Let all these points be considered in order to appreciate tbe position. A. Hundred Tons ot Gold Coin. . The New York San cbronioles st length the arrival of fonr tons of gold ooin on Tnesday last, from the Snbtreasnry of San Franciaoo to the Snblreasnry In New York. It was packed in twelvo iron chests and was guarded by nine armed men. The gold oonaiated of one han dle] bags of double eagles, each containing $20,000, and on its rceeipit at th* Treasury each bag was emptied and contents weighed. One million ot the anm was in coin fresh from the San Franciaoo mint. The San says at the close of bnslness on Tnesday tbe balanee of gold eoin in the New York Sabtresanry was $48,522,- (143.79—eqnal in weight to abont one hundred tons. In addition to this, the same despoaitory contained ten million dollars in gold bars— $400,000 in silver coin and $32,000,0C0 in pa per currency. There are two treasure chambers on different sides of the main floor in the Sabtresanry. Each^tss walls of massive atone eight feet thick, bnilt in two parallel sections. Tba intarme- dlate space is filled with boxes of ohilled iron packed with balls of the same material abont an inch la diameter. These will Inrn the most powerful drill ever employed by burglars. The floor is covered with iron plates and rests on solid masonry, which extends thirty feet helpw the surface of the sidewalks. The five iron doors are secured by Mveral heavy locks. These doors weigh about two and a half tons each. Tbo chambers are divided into iron compartments. In the west side chamber the gold is deposited, each oompartmant oontalnlng $300,000 when filled. The gold is packed in small canvas bags. BrosVlyii “Civilization”—Scene m a Meeting ofthe Board of Education. Tho Herald, of Wednesday, gives an account of oertain [ root©dings at the last meeting of the Brooklyn Board of Education whioh “bangs Bannagher. h.gnt icmtle t..obera who had passed a enooessfol examination were to be ap- pointed, and whan the name of one or Ow, - Miss Cook, who had averaged 90 per cent at the examination was rssohed, a Mr. Wm.

This kicked np a tremendous bobbery, and tbe compliments of the season were energetically exchanged between Ihe Harp and a man named Raid, who resisted th© Harp’* motion, which was finally lost Reid then moved Mias Cook • appointment, wtieh was also lost for wont of ■ two-thirds vote. Thia ao fired the coble rage of Reid that he called one of the members a aneak and a liar, and told him he wouldn't trust him near his (R's.) ben roost. The meeting finally broke np amid tbe greatest uproar. Tbe Herald says some members or the Board can scarcely read or write—which ia not all an un common thing In acme of tbe radically recon structed Southern States.

Barber bad a dispute yesterday afternoon la front of Johnson’s hat store, on Broad atraet, abont a dram which Mr. Barnard claimed, and had sued out a possetsory warrant to obtain it from the possession of tne Colombo* Guards' band. Thia oaae came before Jaitioe Bhlvers, whose decis ion left the dram where it was, and involved Mr. Barnard is eosta. Seme words passed be tween Barber and Barnard on tbe snbjeot, when Barber, becoming excitsd, hit Barnard in the face with his fist. Thia enraged Barnard, who draw a pistol and snapped it onee ia dose prox imity to Berber a abdomen. Barber then start ed np the attest, and while he was going la the direction of Koonay A Warner'a store, Barnard fired thre* shots after him, neither of which took effect. The affair create! a considerable excitement, and drew together a big orowd on the sidewalk. Barnard, we hear, signified an intention to give himaelf np. As the affair will probably come np for Inveatigation before tbe courts, we forbear commentr. Mr. B. F.

JorsxousTio.—The Albany News, under this head, remarks as follows: Last Sunday the Atlanta Constitution went into another extraordinary eight page spasm, and illustrated its wonderful enterprise by donb- ling fonr columns of reading matter and fonr of advertisements. Who ssya there's no gam in tbe special engine stunner ? On Wednesday the special engine eena&tion collapsed, and the Atlanta papers failed to reaoh Albany. Tax same paper says on last Tuesday mom- ing Charles Buntin, son of Bar.

If nome parties oonld get oat of it as easily as they went in, they woald get down on their knees and eingsongz of fervent thanksgiving. Sdoozssful Fasscixo.—Under this head the Hamilton Visitor illustrates what those words mean, as follows: Mr. J. H. Booker, who lives five miles north west of Hamilton, started after the war without money or lind. In 1SC6 be ran two plows, and made five bales of cotton sod corn to do him. Ho bos been increasing each year, and tells ns that he expects to make this year six-.y biles of cotton and two thousand bnihsls of oorn. He made three hundred bushels of wheat this sea son. He had oorn to sell last year, and will have it for sale again this year, and also two hundred bushels of wheat. He has plenty of hogs for meat. He nsss very little gnane, and attributes his success to the money saved by not baying oorn, meat and gnano. He says that tboee farmers who bay oorn and meat are getting poorer every year. He knows some who ran eight plows when he wss only rnnning two, and now they are rnnning two, while he is run ning eight. Mr. Booker owns firs hundred sores of land, bought since the war, and, to gether with the stock, paid for as bought. AU this has been wrought by tho legitimate profits of the farm. Oatzbpillabs axd Caopi, Gxxziullt, nt Miami Oouxrr.—We find the following in the OamiUa Enterprise: The opinon of onr people in refsrenoc to the oaterpillar, ia jnst abont as ooeflioting a* the reports of a bard fought battle, after tbe fight had ended. Some are of the opinion that there will be a clean sweep of the ootton, by the worm, by tbe 25th; some think that the same resnlt will be accomplished, bnt not before the 1st of September; some think that tbe detrac tion will not be general but only partial, and that not before ootton has mode at least two- thirds of a crop; while there are a few that say the crop will not be materially affected by the oaterpillar. Corn, we honestly believe, was never better thanltia this year. Wenotice tnatevery where, where the land has boen thoroughly cul tivated, that Ihe oorn is jmt as good as the soU will natnrally prodnee. The cane crop is also very good, and should it not be damaged by the excesnive rains, wn think it will far exceed an average yield. We learn that tbe potato crop is excellent, indeed, bnt not having had the privilege of testing the faot, we oan only speak as ws have been informed by the planters. So far ss onr observation extends, tbe pes crop promises an ibnndant yield. Sinoe writing the above we understand from the very best au thority, that the caterpillars have completely riddled tbe coiton in a large portion ot the oonnty, and that in a very few days longer, there will probably not be a leaf left on the stalks. Bnt few have need ths worm destroyer in this connly, xnd those only experimentally. Hon. A, H. Stxphxns was in GainesviUs last Thursday, on his way to Porter's Springs, in Lumpkin oonnty. Thx Gainesville Eigle says it is believsd that the last rail will be laid, and the last spike driven on the Air Line railway, lo-morrow.

To her great surprise and astonish ment when tbe bed was being made np a huge highland moccasin, larger than a man's arm, was discovered coiled np between the sheet*, and to all appearances it had been by tba side of tbe sleeping girl oil night. In an attempt to kill the snake it ought the qnilt in Us month and two teeth were jerked from the reptile's bead before it would let go. A bale of notion was sold in Covington on Monday for 15 cents a pound, which was pink* ed, ginned and packed in the fall of 1S63. The rope and bagging was of Confederate manufac ture and presented a novel appearance. The owner had been offered 42 cents per pound for ten bales of ootton of the same crop in 1865, bnt held it with the expectation of getting fifty oent*. One by one the bales were sold at prioes much lower than tbs first offer, until on Mon day the Ust one was hauled from the old abed and let go for 15 cents.

They go early, end oeeapy the most prominent Beets, and eagerly gather in all the raeeality and obeoenity which is daily exposed there. Fa nnie woald do well to inquire into this matter, m the polioe have under consideration the pro priety of excluding this class of visitors from thia court. ” The above paragraph we oopy from the local department of the Atlanta Herald. Perhaps it has never occurred to tbe local editor of the Herald that the attendance ot those boys on the polioe court has been soainly (end perhaps en tirely) oansed by himself. Every dey be attends this eonrt, sod in his paper next morning ap- pears a fail and miDUte description cf “all the rascality and obscenity whioh is daily exposed there.” Not only so, Imt it ia evident to all readers of his paper that hs Ubors herd to make attractive “the rascality and obaoemty” with which the Keeorder has to deal.

He has familiarized tbe boys with vioes and arimea of which they moat proba bly knew nothing, and now he complains that they shoo'd be attracted by that which he daily labors to make attractive. BY TELEGRAPH Heanneaa to Pastors. Dxaoon Bjchabd Kkith, of Cincinnati, tells two stories illustrating the meanness sometimes praotioed by churches toward their pastors. The first U the oaae of a Presbyterian congregation in Indiana, whose pastor was nnfortonstely ooti nned to his house by pickness fonr weeks. His salary was a small one, and be fonnd it difficult to support his wife and children. When, how ever, the trustees were called upon for the star ving saUry, they deducted for the fonr weeks’ absence on aooount of sickness. The Beoond is of a wealthy Presbyterian Church in an Ohio city, bnt we are very sure it was not the one in whioh Deaoon Smith officiates. The pulpit was vacant, and the session invited a young man. reoently graduated, to preach for them. The young minister started from home with $25 in his pocket, $15 of whioh wss invested in rail roid tiokets for the round trip. He remained two Sabbaths with tbe oongregatioD, preaching fonr times. When he esme to take his depart ure he kept his hind ready to reoeive the ex peoted envelope; bnt he looked for it in vain. On the way to the depot a lady invited him in. The lady of tbe house thereupon presented him a small package, which be wss requested to ao- cept as a small token from the ladies of tbe con gregation. He acoepied it with thanks, felt good, and deposited the precious package in his carpet saok. Upon entering the car he took a back Mat, and as soon as the train moved ont of the depot be prooeeded to examine the pack age, and opening it osreMly h» discovered a ootton shirt with ootton bosom and old fash ioned eollar attached. This was tbe present from the ladies of the oongregatioD, and this was all he reoeired for two weeks servioes sod tbe expenditnre of $15 for railroad fare. He retnrned to his home a sad young man. Yellow Fewer at Pensacola. We find the following paragraph in tbe Mont gomery Advertiser, of Friday: The Evergreen Star says that Rsr. Mr. Lun die, a Baptist minister well known in Alabama, died of yellow fever at Feniaoola lost Monday. The same paper says: Last Sunday morning we stated ilia faot that the existence of yellow fever in Fensaoola had been reported, as also the grounds on whiehthe report wss based. Sinoe then we hive heard nothing farther on the subject, bnt tbe Mayor of Mobile has reoeived official information that the diseiM exists In the former city. A proo lsmstlon bearing his signature appears in the Mobile Register of the 20ch, whioh sets forth this faot by way of preamble. The Mayor of Mobile thereupon forbids all persons leaving Pens loot* from entering Mobile, The Advertiser calls upon the authorities of Montgomery to establish some quarantine reg nlatians for the protection of that city. A letter dated at Pensacola on tbe 13:b, in the Mobile Register of the 21st, says: That we have yellow fever here is a faot be> yond the Bbadow cf a doubt.

GotUeib Wif- lig, an ancient German settler, espoused Mary Willig, his housekeeper, before witnesses, bnt withont any formality ot church or state. They lived together, had children, and were by some of their neighbors reputed to be man and wife, while by others they were eonaidered to be living in cononblnase. Willig died, leaving no will, and his wife Mary applied for letters of administration. Her right to them was con tested by tbe sons of a former wife on the ground that the applicant had never been le gally married to their father.

Never trifle with what are called small ailments. A disorder, easy of control at first, if neglected for a few weeks may become a mortal disbaso. If you feel inert, with a bitter or bad taste ia the mouth, loss of appetite, bowels alternately costive and Jax, resort at onoe to Simmons* Liver Regulator. That great vegetable medicine will reach the seat of the disorder, aud by its wonderful and peculiar power in purifying (be stomach and stimulating the liver and torpid bowels, imparts new life aud vigor to the whole system; while its mild cathartic prop erties relieve the bowels from obstructions, and its alterative opar*tfnn boncfioially affects all the se cretive organa ; by its tonic action the stomach ia so invigorated that digestion beoomes regular, easy and peifect For the miseries of dyspepsia— and they include almost every unpleasant feeling that belongs to physical disease and mental wretch edness—this potent medicine is a certain and speedy cure. Some persons are prone to fevers, others to bilious attacks. In all cases where a peculiar sus ceptibility to any variety of didease exists the toning, regulating and purifying operations of Bimmons* Liver Regulator wili bo found the surest safeguard against an attack. It is no less potent as a preventive than as a remedy. What family can afford to be without such » resource in sickness ? Bold by all druggists. J. H. 7.
