pavatmab Weekly flews f WATI'KDAI >UVK WIIBR 13. Affairs In Georgia. The Dalton wedding custard has been analyzed by Professor Land, of Atlanta, and no poison of any kind was discovered. This announcement ii calculated to frighten the Dalton people worse than the original pois oning. The Talbotton Standard accuses Captain Henry Persons of supplying the Genera Lamp with oil. Oniy in Atlanta do the general public un derstand the fallacy of endeavoring to stand up after a banana sain has seized the shoe. Instead of resisting they simply flop right down upon themselves. They say it is bet ter to fracture the spinal column than to break their necks. In ancient Greece this would have been called philosophical hero ism. In Dalton, a negro burglar wag sen tenced to the penitentiary for filteen years two days after he committed the crime. Col. J. 11. Hart, of Union Point, a highly esteemed citizen, is dead. \ Col. W. .1. Lawton has resigned the Presi- Ldeucy of the Planters’ Dank, of Macon, and ■Mr. Thomas 11. Willingham, of Albany, has ■been elected to till the vacancy. | The Albany Cornet Band will give a grand * ball on the 20th. Rome has recen'ly received several hun dred immigrants in the shape of bogs from Tennessee. The Albany New* says that Capt. T. 11. Willingham, of Dougherty county, is not one of our smallest operators. He plants flvo to six thousand acres —two-fifths cotton. 1 two-fifths corn and one-fifth oats. And str-ugo to say, up-country editors have overlooked him. I Mr. 8. W. Hubbard, a very energetic and industrious newspaper man, late of the Weekly Register, of this city, has become as sociated in the general management of the Waynesboro Expositor. Mr. J. H. Blunt, one of the oldest and best citizens of Burke county, is dead. A little son of Mr. John Bradley, living near Dalton, had his face severely torn by an augi v bull. The Athens Georgian will hereafter be publish (1 as an evening daily. The noble Homaus are calling for an orni thologist *o c.assify a bird killed in that neighborhood recently. The bird is of a partridge color, its bill is four inches long, its neck is over a foot in length, its body about four inches long, and its legs about eight or ton inches; it measures from tip of wing to tip of wing three feet two inches, from tip of bill to toes three feet three inches. Lawrenceville had a small piece of the earthquake. Quitman came near having a hear fight the other day. Sawyer's Commonwealth doesn’t come to hand now so frequently as before. In fact, if someone was to say it bad suspended, wo couldn’t deny it. Jonesboro enjoyed seeing a runaway horse snatch a buggy in two recently. I Mr. Thomas Holden, an old citizen of L Warren county, is dead. L Baruesville is still improving, and doosn’t Pleem to be afraid to tell of it. The editor of the Talbotton Standard isn’t too much in love to eat raw pota toes. Will somebody inform us what haH be corno of the Count Johannes? The editor of the Quitman Reporter pro poses to give the Egyptian tap root corn a thorough trial. A negro attempted to murder Mr. .1. E. Robinson, of Norcross, the other day be cause he owed him a dollar and a half. It is not an uncommon sight to see rab bits browsing around the streets of Tal botton. Mr. N. M. Danniolly, of Forsyth, was re cently married to Miss Katie January, of Murfreesboro, Term. We wish our young friond nil tlie happiness that falls to the lot of those who choose wisely and well. Gov. Hmitli lias commuted the sentence of John Bard. Mr. Jeremiah Walters, an old and useful citizen of Dougherty county, is dead. The News announces the doath of Mrs. Ilenry Bacon, of Albany. A Brooks county Granger tells the Quit man Reporter that, lie lirh sold one thousand bushels ot corn this fall, for which ho has realized olio dollar per bushel; and he still has about one hundred mole to spare. In addition to the above ho has mado about four bales of cotton, and raised hogs, pota toes, pimlors, oats and cane in abuudanco. This is the product of a two horse farm, without any hired labor, his two younger brothers being his only assistance. He is a healthy, good-looking young man, about twenty-four years of age, and a candidate for matrimony. In reply to an inquiry about the debt and resources of Macon one of its merchants in a letter sums up the case in this wise : “Our city corporation is in a bettor condilion than any in Georgia, and her bonds look cheap. She owes less than 4700,000. The property valuation is $8,400,000. The regular rate of taxation is one per cent. This year the Leg islature granted us the right to lovy an ex tra tax of one-quarter of one per cent, to pay somo maturing obligations. She prob ably has public property enough to pay her wholo ilobt. Hlio can’t issue another bond unless authorized by the Legislature and ratified by a two-thirds vote of tier free holders.’’ This is cortaiuly a favorable show ing for our sister city, and only lacks some siuking fund feature by which the debt can he steadily diminished. The Quituian Reporter says that on Monday night of last week tho torch of tho incendiary wag applied to the cotton house of Mr. Timothy Alderman, completely destroying that building and the coru crib, fodder and outhouse, stock shed and wagon shelter, which were all arranged in a row together. The cotton house contained about seven halos and a half of seed cotton, tho corn crib 400 bushels ot coru, and the foddor and outhouse was well tilled with these two very important commodities. Tho dailies spro id rapidly, and when discovered the buildings were all ablaze, so that the heat was so intouse it was with difficulty that any one could got near enough to open a place in the lot for the stook to oscape. Nothing that was in tho way of tho buildings wus saved, though about a bale and a half of cotton was found to be uninjured in the smouldering heap whore the cotton house stood. Mr. Aider man is a disabled soldier, having lost a leg in the late war, and this is to him a heavy and serious loss. The fiendish villain who applied the torch was tracked some distance from the premises ; but, as yet, no clue lias been found that Is likely to lead to his appre hension. Marietta Journal: Mr. It. S. Eidson, who lives near Big Shanty, Cobb county, is a man of remarkable energy and industry, considering the fact that he lost his right arm in the late war, and has only his left hand to work with. In the cultivation of his farm this year he made, off ot five acres of ground, one hundred and thirty bushels of coru and fifty-three bushels of wheat, be sides a largo quantity of potatoes, turnips, peas, etc. Two of the acres produced seventy-live bushels of corn. This is not onlv creditable to the soil of Cobb, but also fcto ilr. Eidson, and shows that there is as [jiuuch in the man as in the land. There is Pro tolling how much ho would make if lie Phad two liauds to work with. ' Albany Xeirs : Colonel Loe Jordan may be the largest planter in the State, and it may be that his own crop is down to sixty . per cent,, but we utterly deny the truth of a statement going the rounds of the press, npou his authority, that the corn crop ot Southwestern Georgia is only fifty and tho cotton crop only sixty. The Colonel may bull the market on his own crop, but he lias no particular right to undervalue a whole section. The truth is, coru lias turned out much better than was expected, and cotton is still maturing and opening so fast that neither Colonel Jordan uor any other “larg est planter in the State” is entitled to credence for half crop statements. Mr. C. A. Nutting writes the Atlanta Her ald: In your issue of yesterday you give reports of the City Bauk, aud rumors con cerning ray private affairs. Commencing at the start of the flurry, an old business house, with whom the writer" has been on intimate terms for years, allowed some of their paper to go to protest, and the report was put in circulation that the City Bauk was carrying an im mense amount of his paper. The truth of the affair is that his name was not on a single paper in the bauk. Further, the State has no funds on deposit in the City Bank, aud has not had for the last six months. I opine the State has no funds on deposit anywhere. I can assure you they would be quite as safe here as elsewhere. No demand has ever been made on this bank and been dishonored. As to myself, as heretofore, I am able and prepared to paddle my own canoe. Writing of the tournament at the Thom agville Fair, Col. C. W. Styles, of the Alba ny Xeu, save! Mr. H. W. Brauch, of Ca nnlla, lost his first tilt by a decision of the judges that he failed to make the time by half a second. He took the six rings amid the applause of the immense assemblage, tor his gallant bearing, his splendid horse manship, and his success in getting all the rings there were to take. The ruling of the judges was severely oriticised, and the uni versal svmpathy gathered around Mr. Branch. 'Like a true gentleman he made no complaint, but procured another horse, and on each of the remaining tilts, carried home the six rings, each time eliciting shouts of applause and unmistakable evidences of the svmpathv of the people who could not ap preciate the half second ruling. Mr. Branch submitted several propositions to his brother Knights, but all were rejected, as it was well known that he could take all the nnge, on any sort of a charger, and within any possible time. His last proposition was to ride with the butt of his lance, and fading to get all the rings, to pay an extra entrance fee of twenty-five dollars. Even that was rejected. Jt is a pity the gallant Sir Knights could not appreciate the situation, and waive the advantage of the half second ruling. Mr. Branch bears the champion lance of Georgia and Florida, and u likely to keep it until some other test is invoked. It is blasphemy in Atlanta to say “God bless you”— and it ought to be. The Perry Home Journal oomes to ns this week in eight-page form, containing a very interesting history of the town and county, and quite a number of new advertisements. The issue is a credit to Mr. Martin, the editor and proprietor. From ail we can hear, the Atlanta Herald is trying to shed Kimballism. This is a good idea. The only sensation that Atlanta now longs for is the return of Foster Blodget. If Fos ter wasn't so stubborn, he would come back just to please Grady and Bill Moore. A passenger train on the Central Railroad was fired into one night last week, abont three miles from Macon. No one was in jured. The ten-doliar biography of Mr. John H. : James is gradually finding its way into our I weekly exchanges. Ten dollars, you must ; remember, will buy & barrel of flour, or, j better still, one hundred and twenty beer tickets. It is a subject of remart that Colonel Jones, of the Macon Telegraph, did ample justice to the Grange dinner at Thomasvilie. j After it was all over he invested seven dol- j lars and a half in tooth-picks—a piece of ex- i travagauce that seems to us to have been al- j together unwarranted. Kimbail isn’t as affluent as we thought, j It is now said that he only owns half of the I Kimball House—on a credit. This is en- j tirely too bad. However, he is a director in j the Tennessee Car Company. We don’t hear anything from Bishop Ha vens lately. He wi 1 probably use more cir cumspection hereafter when he flirts with the colored brothers and sisters. Mr. J. L. Roberts, of Perry, is de&d. Grffln thieves are not too particular in their tastes to scorn silverware. Mr. James 8. Jones, of that city, lost a lot the other day. The dwelling house of Mr. Shank Sir moos, of Early county, was burned the other night. Early county will plant more largelyjn oats this season than ever before. There are thieves in Griffin so mean that they steal flowers from the graves. A littio negro child was burned to death in Macon county the other day. Mr. J. K. Forbes, a young planter of Troup comity, was killed in Columbus the other day, by a you ng man named Cadman. It is said that Forbos cursed Cadman’s mother. The Wayne Triumph is dead. * Thus the Thomasvilie Times: “Some objections were made to Judge Tompkins serving on the ‘ baby ’ committee, on the gr /und that lie was not an expert. He, how ever, showed his go <d taste by kissing all the girl babies, and leaving the boys to be fondled by the editor of the News.” Also, likewise, as follows : “In the pub lished reports ot the Fair, in the Mousing News of the 2d, it is erroneously statod that the Boston Grange bad on exhibition seventy-eight dead of stock, and the Ock lockoneo Grange ninety-one. This should be reversed. The Boston Grange led their Ocklockonee brethren in the number of stock exhibited.” J. E. Gullatt, of Atlanta, has invented a car-brass that will absorb oil. It is con sidered good. The corn-crib of Mr. P. H. Dawson, of Putnam county, was burned by an incendi ary one night last week. Rev. H. P. Oliver ban been recalled to the pastorate of the Baptist Church at Eatonton. A Schley county hen set on fifteen eggs and hatched seventeen chickens, besides leaving four eggs in the nest. Five negro men of Wilkinson county killed one hundred squirrels in one day recently. The Thomasville Times has this : The Morning News has lor years been the “pet” journal of this section, and never was its popularity more conspicuous or more fixed than at this time. The telegraphic and nows columns of the paper have fairly teem ed for the past teu days with glowing and graphic accounts of the late Fair. The en terprising proprietor sent one of his trusted stall' here, who, day after day, patiently went through the labyrinths of the expo sition, and wo may safely say that Maj. Her bert wrote up the most elaborate and faithful acoount of the Fair, which has yet, or will, appear in print. Col. Thompson, the vete ran (excuse us, Colonel, for using the phrase) senior editor, spent the week here; whilst Harris, that incorrigible wag, most brilliant and pungent of paragraphists, never failed to say a good word for us; and always said it at the right time, in the right place, and in the right way. The Morning News has taken a now lease on the affec tions and gratitude of our people, and we hope it will last for ninety-nine years—and then not run out. Columbus Enquirer: A farmer from Gor don county carried a load of apples to Car tersville to sell. Ho was offered sixty cents a bushel for them and could get no more. Leaving his team, he repaired to the tele graph office aud telegraphed to a merchant in Home, asking the price of apples. The reply was “$l 25 per bushel.” The farmer returned, and, showing the merchant the telegram, said ho would “drive on to Home.” The merchant relented and paid him $1 25 per bushol, taking all he had. Now, that farmer had not mortgaged his crop of apples to a money-lender or ware house man, or ho would have been forced to take the sixty cents per bushel. Farmers, “that’s what’s the matter with Hannah.” The Thomas county grand jury remarks : “Our attention has been called to a small pamphlet, published by the State School Commissioner, giving tbo detailed provisions of a bill he intends to lay before the next Legislature, for the purpose of enabling the counties to vote for and levy an additional school fund tax, not exceeding one tenth of one per cent., when two-thirds of the voters vote in favor of it, for tbo purpose of estab lishing primary schools, in all the counties, and higher grade schools in any sub district in the county, when two-thirds of the voters in' the subdistrict have voted for it. While we are in favor §of giving tho best education to every child in our county, and are willing to be taxed for educational purposes, we are unalterably opposed to any law that will breed discon tent among our people, and probably form tho entering wedge to briug about mixed schools of whites and blacks, as we honestly believe tho bill will do. Wo, therefore, uu- qualitiodly condemn this bill as calculated to breed dissension aud conflict among tho races ; and we ask the representatives of our county to vote against it when it comes before tho Legislature for passage.” Thouiasville Times : Now that the sixth annual Fair is ovor, let us all go to work preparing for the next one. Nothing like starting in time. The late Fair lias demon strated what our people can do when they will. Let us right now, in the glare and brilliancy of the late exhibition, determine, that it shall be excelled in ’76. We call upon the people of South Georgia and Florida to unite with us next year, in order to show middle aud upper Georgia, what this section is capable of producing. It is a noble and laudable work, and we appeal, and confidently too, to our people regard less of Stato and county lines, to make up their m uds note, and determine that this section of the South shall no longer remain in obscurity. One pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether will place this whole region where it unquestionably belongs, among the most favored, fruitful, and desirable sections in this bright, sunny land of ours. To the roscuo then in ’76. Thomas county grand jury : We are sorry to roport that there is much crime com mitted in our county. The jail is tilled with criminals awaiting trial, nearly all of which is traceable to the midnight dens scat tered over the county, and kept by bold, daring, unser.iputous persons, who defy public opinion aud the laws. They entice tho ignorant colored people into their stores, and induce thein to steal poultry, corn, rice, oats, potatoes, cotton, farming tools aud everything that can be converted into money. ' They respect no color or condition, and Arab-like, they plun der and rob alike the whites aud blacks. They have become so bold as to employ and send out drummers for this illicit traffic, and have guards around their stores and pickets placed out at consider able distance around to prevent surprise aud detection, and have managed to demoralize the colored population to such an extent that it is almost impossible to get them to iuform or give evidence against them in the courts of the county. We are glad to see tho Granges taking steps to put down this evil, aud they have succeeded in closing up some of these stores. We wish them God and trust they will not cease their efforts until they succeed in break ing up this nefarious traffic. We call upon all good citizens, white and black, to be vigilant in assisting to bring these violators of the law to condign punishment, so that our whole community can lay down and sleep peacefully, with tha assurance that his property in the field and all around him is safe. We ask our representatives to use their talent and influence in the next session of the Legislature, and devise and pass some law that will give better protection to the planters, aud make the arrest and con viction of this class of thieves less trouble some in the courts of the county. Macon Telegraph : Oue of the most re markable deaths that ever came under ob servation took place in this city yesterday evening, about seven o’clock. The circum stances are as follows ; Mr. Wm. A. Hutch iugs, of Jones county, went into a restaurant and ordered a supper. He was in good health and in an unusually good humor. The supper was soon set before him, and he had not taken more than a mouthful before it was discovered that something was the matter with him. Gentlemen present went to his assistance, and found that he seemed to be choking. A messenger was dispatched at once, in haste, for Dr. Mat taur. The doctor was in his office and in a very few minutes was with the sufferer. He perceived at once that the man was suffer ing from suffocation caused by food having passed into his windpipe. ‘ Instruments were needed to procure relief, and the doctor, as speedily as possible, went to his office for them, and when he re turned the unfortunate mau was dead. The agony of the poor fellow is represented as having been terrible. In his final throes he leaped entirely from the bed, where he had been placed, to the floor, and expired there. If the doctor could have returned a minute sooner ho could have saved the life of the man without difficulty. He was powerless to do anything with out his instruments, and before these could be procured the end had come. The deceased was about fifty yean of age, an old citizen of Jones county, and un married. He has often been in the city, and was well known to many of our peo ple. Coroner Sessions was notified of the occurrence, and soon appeared upon the scene and held an inquest. After hearing all the testimony there was in the case, in cluding that of Dr. Mattanr, the jury re turned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by suffocation caused by food haring passed into his windpipe. The State University at Athens seems to be a nice place. According to the Georgian, j the stndents are required to swear that they don’t pay more than S2O a month each for board. We wonder that this regulation was never thought of before, for it stands to reason—when you come to reflect over it —that a young man who is extravagant enough to pay s2l 75 for board per month is on the demnition road to ruin and ought to be expelled. In our opinion, it would be a good idea if the faculty were to prescribe the diet of the students—with au especial eye to eliminating buckwheat cakes and molasses from the bill of fare. This sort of extravagance is rapidly under mining the constitutions of our young men. A negro in the Macon jail, contemplating suicide rather than the penitentiary, took aim at an iron bolt in the wall and turned himself loose. The bolt was driven out of sight and the negro still survives. An Atlanta Justice of the Peace has mys teriously disappeared, and now the police men are feeling of themselves to make sure that they are all right. It is understood chat all the poetry that has passed between “Lively Puss” and ’• Paul Pry” since the Macon Fair, related to CoL George R. Black, of Screven county. Well, this much we can say—Col. Black is no flirt, if he is a married man. Columbus is to have a bagging factory, and now there will be no excuse for the dearth of undershirts among the editors of that village. Thus the Camilla Enterprise: “A two hundred and forty dollar diamond engage ment ring is stored at the warehouse. It is offered for sale from the simple fact that the lady for whom it was intended has long since pinned a bigger fool’s nose to the grind stone.” A colored infant was cremated in Houston county the other day. The facts are as usual. Here is the twentieth : The gin-house on one of the plantations of Messrs. Butler and Heath, together with three bales of cotton, was burned in Houston county the other day. Grubb, of the Darien Timber Gazette, has wound himself around a six-pound potato, and still has breath left to brag about it. A little son of Mr. J. L. Merrill, of Carroll county, was fatally burned one day last week. A Dooly county ox was killed the other day, and weighed eight hundred pounds net. What’s the use of poking fun at Dooly when she can accomplish such feats as this? It is fair to say, however, that no accurate measurement was made of the inherent toughness of the animal. Hawkinsville had a stabbing affray the other day. Mr. Thomas Gordon, an old and esteemed citizen of Dooly county, is dead. Plague take such a country as this is. In Dodge county a man was fined fitty dollars merely for whipping his mother-in-law. It may truly be said that Americans have no rights that the law is hound to respect. Several copper deposits have been found recently in Paulding county. Nothing is said, however, of the brass mines in At lanta. Here is the twenty-first: The gin-house of Mr. B. F. Lanier, Sr., of Bulloch county, was burned by an incendiary recently, to gether with six bales of cotton. A correspondent, writing from Porter’s Landing, Effingham county, says that the school house at Mizpah Church was burned down on the Ist inst. On Wednesday even ing last, Mr. E. B. Porter lost three houses by fire, one of them his corn-crib, with all his corn and fodder. On the 7th his kitchen was burned. The Atlanta Uommomcealth remarks: Last week the “groat developer” had his measure taken before Judge Woods, of the United States Circuit Court, sitting in Atlanta. It was in the case of Clews & Cos. against the Cherokee Railroad Company. Kimball had been contractor and President of the com pany, aud finally turr-'i up as chief witness for the company against Clews & Cos. Mr. L. N. Whittle, to whom the case had been referred as master in chancery, reported that the railroad company was indebted to Clews & Cos. for moneys .advanced to build the road, in the sum of $1G7,000. This report Judge Woods sus tains in an able aud elaborate opinion, which is published at length in a morning contem porary. In the course of his judgment, this Radical Judge presents a striking photo graph of this prince of carpet-baggers. He says Kimball’s evidence is incredible, and shows with a master hand that his state ments, though made under oath, were con scious falsehoods. Such, let the reader re member, is the sentence of a Radical United States Judge. Aud yet there are Democrats and Democratic journals, so-called, who are ever ready with an apology for the brazen impostor. Bogue and perjurer 1 Twice a bankrupt since the war, and yet the builder and owner of palatial residences, the adroit manipulator of impecunious Southern newspapers, and the President of an Atlanta Manufacturing Company 1 We do not wonder that the very ground on which the city stands was shaken by an earthquake last night. Even the sur rounding hills, dyed in the blood of brave men and scorched by fire and battle, shake their angry heads in protest against this shame. The city and State now stagger under the load of debt which this man piled on their suffering people, and yet the bank rupt, the thief and the perjurer is preferred to positions of honor and profit, and daily dashes along our streets, cagting the dust from his flying wheels on the Mayor of At lanta aud the Governor of Georgia—men the latchet of whose shoes he is unfit to loosen. Brass and mammon ! Mammon and brass ! 1 Atlanta correspondence Griffin News : “Quite an important event has happened in newspaper circles during the past week. The parties interested seem disposed to keep the matter very quiet, but by dint of enquiry, I have got at what I consider a fair state ment. When Col. Alston returned from the Macon Fair, Mr. J. A. Burns, the business manager of the Herald Publistiing Com pany, proposed to Col. Alston that he should give him a mortgage for moneys which burns alleged were due to him for loans. "Colonel Alstou denied owing Burns any money, stating that all the money which Burns had paid in was only part of his subscription to stock, aud that such a mortgage would be a fraud upon the stockholders and cred itors. Burns replied that unless Colonel Alston signed said mortgage that the last number of the Herald had come out. As Burns was elected to serve for five years there was but oue way to get him out, aud that was by an order "from Judge Hopkins restraining him from the further exercise of his duties. Judge Hopkins issued the order and had Colonel B. A. Alston ap-> pointed receiver, and the Herald i continued to make its appearance as usual. Burns has resigned and Colonel Alston is now in charge, and he an 1 Grady will continue to make the Herald what it has always been, one of the best papers published" in the South. Alston aud Burns were incompati ble elements, and I am not surprised that an explosion has occurred so soon. The only wonder is that an attempt was ever made to unite them. South Carolina Affairs.

[From the Florida Agricultnrist.] Rosewood, Levy Cos., Fla. —In my last I gave a description of the different quali ties of Florida land and an approximate estimate of its value, and I now propose to give the cost of labor, material, sup plies, etc. —articles that will be required by those coming to the State to settle I will premise that the prices given are those current at Rosewood and other places in this region, as the same mate rials might and probably would cost more in other parts of the State. COLOEED LABOE is our main dependence, for which we pay say sl6 to S2O per month for men, they supplying their own provisions, and the employer furnishing a cabin to live in. Boys and women command from $8 to sl2 per month, depending on the age, experience, etc. The colored people are docile in their nature, easily managed, and are, as a rule, very acceptable labor when managed and controlled by the employer. The men will do as much at any kind of labor with . which they are familiar as our smartest Yankees, when working together, but when set to work by themselves or under their own management they are about like half-grown boys ; they can neither set themselves to work intelligently, Jnor are they reliable when alone. White labor —citizens of the neighborhood—can be obtained at about the same cost, but as a rule they are unreliable. PBOVISIONS. Groceries will cost, at retail, about the same as at the West, and a little more than in New England or the Middle States. Venison sells for about Bto 10 cents per pound : wild turkeys the same, and wild ducks say 10 to 25 cents each — all of which are abundant. Beef costs say 5 to 6 cents per pound foe forequart ers, and 6 to 7 for hindquarters; fowls 20 to 26 cents each, and eggs from 15 to 25 cents per dozen, and sweet potatoes about 50 cents per bushel. Board can be obtained at the villages along this line of road at $4 to $lO per week —the former for laboring men who furnish their own bedding. LOTBEB. Sawed lumber will cost, delivered at the depot, say $lO to sl2 per thousand, taken as it runs, and sl2 to sls sawed to fill an order; shingles, say from $3 to $4 per thousand, and a plain, rough house, for a medium family, but comfortable for the climate, can be put up for S2OO to S4OO. FUBNITCBE AND TOOLS. Persons moving to this State would do well to bring such tools and furniture as they have in use which can be packed in barrels or boxes, especially small things on which the freight is a small item. Mattress and bolster ticks should be brought and filled with black moss (to be had here), which is a good substitute for curled hair. Standing furniture, such as tables, chairs, and other bulky articles, may be brought with them or purchased here at reasonable prices. HOESES, STCLE3 AND OTHEB STOCK. Horses or mules, suitable for farming will cost here from one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and fifty dol lars ; working oxen, fifty to seventy-five dollars per yoke; cow with a calf, twelve to twenty dollars, and what are known as stock cattle, comprising cows, bulla and the young stock up to three years old, for about six dollars per head.

[Special Correspondence of the Morning News. Washington, November 4, 1875. DEPABTHENTAL. The annual reports of the departments are all made up ready for Congress and sus pense now exists in regard to the appropria tions. Government clerks are on the qui vice. “Suppose Congress reduces the ap propriations, then some of us will have to walk,” they say; “but suppose they don’t appropriate at all, how can we live two years without stamps ?” The answer gen erally is, “dam-fi-no.” The Treasury ap propriation bill, providing for the propor tional distribution of clerkships among the various States,has caused a considerable stir and awakened anxiety in many a bosom and buzzum, while Zach has already shipped a score of youths and virgins. CHANGE OF PROGBAAtXE. It is understood that the Senate Commit tee on civil service and retrenchment will put their noses together immediately after the assembling of Congress, to project some means for reducing the expenses of run ning the government. The Interior Depart ment seems to attract their attention the most, and the Indian Office and Pension Bureau will have to stand a going over. Since Delano has stepped out, Betkuap has started a move to take from old Zack tht se pet offices, and has laid his wires nicely. But the ex-wrx Senator from Michigan will not stand it. The Indian Office he will not let go to the War Department, as he has already picked from the shore of Detroit his old chum Jerome, who will occnpy the seat now held by Parson Smith. The contractors can’t fool Jero. He has been there. He knows exactly how much rum and molasses it takes to buy a buffalo robe, and his face is as familiar among the Chippewas and Menomonies as Hicks among the wenches. When we examine the enormous patron age of both Pension and Indian offices we do not wonder that the War Department clique wants to get them transferred to themselves. THE PENSION OFFICE has the disbursement of over twenty-nine million dollars for pensions [o over two hundred and thirty-eight thousand pen sioners, besides the employment of several hundred clerks, a force of special agents, fifty-eight disbursing agents, nearly fourteen hundred examining surgeons and seventy-six pension notaries. The dis bursing agents hold very lucrative positions, some of the agencies being worth as high as forty thousand dollars per annum. This is made by having a partner who makes ad vances to pensioners before their money is due, taking orders on the agent and charg ing said pensioner five per cent, per month for the accommodation. It takes a strong pressure on the Secre tary of the Interior and the admin istration to get one of these places, they can be used to such great political advan tage. There are very few pension agents in the Southern States, on account of the few invalids or widows of the Federal Army of the late war who reside there. Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Uaroliua and Texas have no agency located within their borders. Quite a stir was created by an at tempt being made to deprive the poor old pensioners of the Revolutionary war, and war of 1812, who lived in the Soutnern States, of their pensions. They were required to prove their loyally during the late war, &c. There are now on the rolls 402 revolutionary pensioners, and 23,133 war of 1812 pension ers. THE INDIAN BUREAU I have described before, with its 275,000 wards and hundreds of employes. Tue jobs that can be made from the sale of the “ i'rust Lands,” of which the office holds nearly ten million acres are good, and then the contracts are very gratifying. The patronage of the office is enormous, and too good a thing to be turned over to military niucompoops. Twelve or thirteen millions of funds are not to be trusted to paymasters who might fly the track, no indeed, So you see that the Pension and Indian offices will not be let go as easily as the Senate Com mittee may wish. But they have a good work before them on CIVIL SERVICE. They can worry the superannuated chier of the useless Bureau of Education, Gen. Dorman B. Eaton. This worthy was chair man of the Civil Service Commission, and lent his aid to keeping up that humbug. Dawson A. Walker, of Georgia, also ap pears in the list, but hag now turned his gigantic intellect into another channel. The civil service is played out, and the long est political pole orings down the clerical persimm n now. The rush on the depart ments foi office has got to be fearful, and bushels of recommendations are daily filed. The wild-eyed Rockafellar, of Georgia, has as yet failed, although he presented his photograph and the story of his persecu tion to the Hon. Zach. He is strongly en dorsed by Foster Blodgett and Sam Bard, and if he don’t get a place on the strength of those papers he will have to curse tho ingratitude of Republics aud consign his noble form to the Potomac. THE PRESS GANG. It makes the bosom of the country editor swell to be taken among the galaxy of newspaper lights who grace the corres pondent’s galleries of the capitol. There, for instance, he will find the Rev. C. W. Denison, editor of the National Harbinger, a patron of temperance, whoso devotion to tho Jonadabs lost him a good chance. He told, on the stump in his native Michigan, that Grant was addicted to tho bowl. That the said Grant had invited him, Denison, to libate with him, and that he thereupon lectured the administration on his reckless course. This incensed him, and he, the Rev. C. W. Denison, a faithful agent of the Freedman’s Bureau and apostle of temperance, received the cold shoulder instead of the Indian agency for which he applied. His Rever ence has been trying to ally himself with the Democracy, but finds that he is received with distrust. He is, therefore, running the Harbinger for the cause of advanced freedom. “Free thought, free schools and free lunch” is his motto. Then we have old Fred Douglas and his three sons, all editors of the New Era , a journal published in the in terests of the Douglas’s and the African race, especially the former. This Douglas crowd of galvanized Africans are owned by Boss Shephei d,and have held lucrative places under the ring. They elected Emory Mayor in the good old days of 1868, when a thous and niggers were under pay digging grass from the gutters with case knives. Next we have another odoriferous youth, Judge J. P. Sampson (strong as his name imparts), who conducts tne Colored Citizen, and figures as a Justice of the Peace. Then comes a lorn youth who slings ink in the Navy Department, named Taylor, who writes for Colfax’s organ, the-South Bend (Ind.) Register, and has a mania for collecting documents. Two of the Forneys, both of the Washington Sunday Chronicle, lay around for items and contributions, and J. J. Noah, the protege or Spencer, rashes around with a file of the Montgomery Sentinel on his person. The majority of tho press list, as published in the Congrega tional Directory, are made up of such beats as the above, including many antiquated females looking for positions, and some who are fixed. Hodnett or Redpath, both labor reformers, have Dicke ’ up their peripatetic sheets and left for pastures new. THE ELECTIONS of last Tuesday caused considerable excite ment here. Hundreds of government clerks were sent off to vote and electioneer, and the rest were up ail night in great sus pense. When dispatches were received an nouncing that Hartranft had carried Penn sylvania, the cheering was vociferous. No band had been engaged, as so much doubt hung over everything, but the music of the glasses was substituted, and Radical ism was rejoiced. Gr .nt is now considered in for the third term, as he is the only strong man in the party. DBAMATIC, ETC. Joaquin Miller, the “Poet of the Bierras,” appeared on the boards of Hall last Saturday, but, unlike the verse makers, sports a great profusion of dia monds. The author of “Songs of the Sun lands” did not pnt in his time around the mines for nothing, and whether he deals from top or bottom, he plays a very stiff game. The British literati are generally well off, and Miller struck oil when he fell among them. Luckily for him Bob Schenck’s instructions in poker gave them just a'sufficient outline of the science of the game as to make them an easy prey. Joaquin, therefore, returns to his ettive heath to make his reputation solid and make np with Mrs. Miller, who now ruas a newspaper aud cigar stand in ’Frisco. Barry Sullivan has been playing Richard lll.,Hamlet, etc., at the National, and mtkes burlesque of these sterling dramas. He was cut oat for a comedian, and is not suited for anght else. Mrs. Titicns, a fat woman with a v*ry good voice and well supported by a choice company, gave us some good concerts last week and charged very decent prices of ad mission—one dollar and a half for a seat, and two dollars and a half for a reserved seat. These prices brought out all the boo tail aristocracy, and the dressing was a sigh itself. An interesting show was given by the apostle of the administration, Rev. J. p. Newman, at the Tenth street Methodist Episcopal Church on the 26th nit. The Doc. exhibited a lot of oriental curiosites and gave notes of what he had seen in tae East while sc .wing the land as “Inspector of Consulates” at five thousand dollars per annum. After the le'tore there was a “Ja panese Tea Drinking,” superintended by Mrs. Newman (no gin in the tea), after which Rev. 'V. J. McKenney and other psalm singers warbled awhile, and the per formance ended. GENERAL TOPICS. The Florida Railroad case has been taken under advisement by the Supreme Court, the arguments having been completed, i witt tend the full case when a decision is rendered by the Court. Senator Burnside, who is the dressiest man in Congress, having been so since Lee dressed him so nicely at Fredericksburg, has been here, stopping at the Arlington. His picture appears in Butterick's fashion plates for winter suits. Burnside made a respectable fortune off his carbines during the war, and knows how to hold on to it. Senator Mor on has also been here. Bngbam Young being in durance vile for $9,300 alimony given by the U. 8. Court to Ann Eliza Young, Senator Saigeant, of Cal ifornia, one of B. Y’s attorneys, is trying to get the judgment set aside on the ground that gentle Annie knew that Brigham bad been in a muchly married condition previ ously, and therefore could at most claim to be his concubine. W. \Y. Corcoran, the Washington million aire, has donated the sum of SSOO to the Southern Historical Society, and promises them the same sum annually hereafter. Colonels Adair and Vann, Cherokees, have received fifty thousand dollars for services as attorneys for the Osages, and the bal ance of their fees, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, will be paid them by the Indian Office as soon as the President signs their papers. Cherokee lawyers know how to charge fees. The Cheyennes have whipped a detach ment of United States troops near Fort Hayes, Kansas, and we may look for another instalment of Indian depredation claims soon. The bust of Salmon P. Chase has been placed near the Senate entrance of the |capi tol, and Jones who sculped it now stands by for his change. The statue of Senator Ba ker, who was killed at Ball’s Bluff, is daily expeoted. Most of the paintings in the rotunda of the capitol need revamping. Whitewash would be an improvement tolhem. It is denied that the government has made any demand for the cessation of hostilities in Cuba. Old Caleb Cushing is too busy getting up points for future law business to bother himself about the Cu bans. Caleb is squarely ou the ‘‘make.” The news from Liberia is to the effect that the untutored Africans of the coast chawed the graduates of the Monrovia Military Academy up in the late lighting. This will cast a dampener on the emigra tion scheme. Old Frazier, the Treasury Cotton Judge, is ht re again, but has about finished up in the Cotton Bureau. Here is an opportu nity for some member of the next Congress to distinguish himself, going through Fra zier’s operations and exposing the frauds. Robertson,of South. Carolina, is very thick with the administration to be as liberal as reported. He and Patterson work together pretty well. The Richmond papers want a fast mail South, but it is doubtful whether Scott or Garrett, who control most of the roads lead ing South, will see the advisability of it. Cyclops. The Richard Case. From a letter received from our special correspondent at Fernandina we learn that the grand jury found a true bill in this case on Wednesday. On Friday of last week it was understood that they had agreed that the facts did not warrant an indictment, and that such a finding was prepared, but, in the absence of the Judge, not delivered to the court until Saturday. Mr. McDonnell, the Solicitor, we are informed, notified the defendant’s brother that such was the finding of the grand jury, and, as a consequence, the case was ended. But, it seems, this did not suit Judge Archibald, nor Judge Emmons, who, we understand, is to get a handsomely in creased fee, in case of conviction, and the case was opened again and some twenty more witnesses brought before the jury, and we presume a hundred others could have been had, all willing to testify by the card, and a true bill is the result. Our command of the English language is wholly inadequate to express our opinion of the deep and diabolical wick edness of this whole transaction. A fatal madness seems to have seized upon the officials, not only of the court, but of the whole State, and they are deter mined, cost what it will, irrespective of the innocence of the prisoner, to convict him. For the present, and in view of the feverish excitement of the public, and the deep current of indignation gather ing in the minds of the people, we for bear further comment, but remark that when all the foots are developed we will offer such obmments as they warrant, though it cover those concerned, from the highest to the lowest, with deserved infamy. —Jacksonville Press. ► > --< To the Masters of Granges—P. of H.

The Chattanooga Times tells of a won derful yield of corn on lands of Tom Crutchfield, late Congressman from Ten nessee. The land is Tennessee river bottom, and the river overflowed it in March, leaving a deep deposit of sedi ment. The corn was planted from the 20th of April to the 11th of May—rather late. An acre was measured off and the corn gathered from it on the 2d of Octo ber—yield 110 j bushels. Another acre was gathered on the 21st October, and the yield was 114f bushels. An average acre of his upland, gathered on the 22d October, yielded 554 bushels, and another 58|- bushels. Commimal. SAVANNAH MARKET. WEEKLY REPORT. OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,\ Tuesday', November 9, 1875. / General Remarks.— The market has been very quiet the past week, and only a moderate amount of business has been done. Interior merchants have completed their purchases of regular stocks, and are now only filling up on orders as the occasion requires. Jobbers, how ever, are looking for an increased trade during the next month in holiday goods, and are already making preparation to meet it. Small local retailers are purchasing from our jobbers to a greater extent than formerly, instead of going North as heretofore, which has increased the aggregate trade of jobbers to a small extent over past years. There have been no very important changes in the marker, tue past week, and prices remain unchanged. Cotton.— The market for spot cotton during the week has been quiet and has undergone a decline of %c in the total, though it has fluctu ated more or less during the time under the in fluences of dull advices from controlling mar kets.
