McCormick had demanded Her* rington’s money, and he got his death war- J runt instead. Herrington was discharged by the Justice' Court. Mr. Charles Delaigh, an old citizen of Au gusta, died suddenly on the Ist inst. Two fre d ladies bad a difficulty in church last Sabbath. One spitting in the other’s face, and the other banging the one in the face with a parasol. The tongue, (a woman’s weapon), was more freely used. Cause, a “tcAifs m<iH !—silk dress— **«**♦/» Tfa c difficulty is to be investigated by the propet authorities.— Madison, Ga., yews. The Athens Watchman says : Judge James b. Hook, of this State, has recently decided that the act of Congress, passed 25th of Feb ruary, 1862, making greenbacks a legal ten der, does not apply to debts made prior to tba passage; upon the ground that It is not in pursuance of the Constitution of the United States ; which instrument prohibits the enact -1 ment of laws by the States impairing the ob | ligation of contracts. I The Savannah Republican of the Ist says ; j Yesterday morning at the opening of the 1 Freedmen’s Court, no clerk was either visible, I tangible or iu anywise comatable. A litttle I inquiry elicited the fact that the clerk had , gone North on one of Saturday’s steamers.— We congratulate the North on his arrival, as be took with him funds belonging to various parties here, which must necessarily be dis bursed in New York. ALABAMA. Geo, Patlan has issued a proclamation co operating with the President in recommend ing Thursday the 17th day of May'as a day of ' fasting, humiliation and prayer, in view of . the fast approaching Asiatic Cholera. The Advertiser 4' Reijuter says, quite a flut ter has been excited in certain circles, in con-- ! sequence of an order received at this place ' within the past week, from Washington, for , the arrest of a prominent official iu the Treas- i ury Agent’s department of this city. We | learn that the books and papers under bis i care have been seized upon, and several other I distinguished individuals will have to “make | themselves scarce,” to avoid arrest. The ' main parly des gnated by the order is at present absent fiom the city. It is said that frauds on the government to the amount of nearly $1,000,000, have been committed at this place. FLORIDA. JuGne Sticknoy, one of the Direct Tax Commissioners for the State of Florida, has decided that, all the tax sales of tbe property at Fernandina and St. Augustine, out cdL which some of the officials made what ’they*| believed to be a “big thing,’’ are null and void tor want of conformity to the law. Tbe i original owners therefore come tigain into possession. The Army and Navy Journal, of the 7th inst., says: “The duties to which Commodore J. A. Winslow was ordered to Washington being completed, be will proceed to Pensaco la, Fla., and relieve Acting Rear Admiral H. K. Thatcher from the command of tbe Gulf Squadron. “Acting Rear Admiral H. K. Thatcher will transfer tbe command of tbe Gulf Squadron to Commodore J. A. Winslow, ou bis report ing to Pensacola, Fla.” TENNESSEE. A correspondent of the Nashville Union and American, writing from Sparta, Tennessee, gives the following distiessing account ol aff.irs in that section : Our neighboring county of Putnam has been i in quite an exeit- ment f-ir the fast week. ft has beconuu aim >st a common thing tor a few lawless met! wh > range thorough that county, to mistreat citzsus aud returned rebels ai H eir pleasure. O e nig-11 last, week, (hire meh, “.rtneily o Capt. Pennuigton’s company, of Col. Garrett’s regiment, nam d Maxwell, Mil ler at d Patton, wen' 10 tbe house ot an old man named Gunter, took him out from bis house stripped his shirt i ff, and Miller and Maxwell were whipping him umnerc fully. The old man’s ilaiigbier, lourieeu years ot age and sou twelve years old, bearing bis cries, went to bis rescue, eueb wiih an axe. Coming id, one of tbegi clove, ihe edge ot the axe to the eye in Miller’s back, and the other did tbe same in M.xweli’s hetd. Pattou who was bolding ho>es, rushed 10 their rescue wi b bis pisiol, when one blown almost, entirely severed Ins right arm Having released their’aged parent. | rtrauge 10 s>y they all returned 10 the bouse 1 witboi.it fmTher molesting tbe whipping party. M iXWell has since died, and Miller, it is said is bound to .lie. The e are the facts as I beaid them, and J believe they are tine. Monday Circuit Court began in Cook-ville. and it was HXpec'ed a large number of those outlaws were on hand, cutting up generally. - Two of them, wlies- names I undetsiood to be McCalip and Sweareiigm, heat and abused the veueianle Judge Quarles, of Geinsboio’, badly tor what reason 1 have not learned. Judge Quaries is a Jiiwyer ol high standing, and es teemed by all’who know li m. Several arrests w re made tbe n*xi day, L am in'ormed by a Company of regular United States troops, who had just arrived, and quiet is restored, Al agree that no Court could have been h-ld a Cookeville, had it not been lor tbe arrival ot this company ol troops. Some two months ago, a part of these same outlaws went to the bouse of n man named Roberts, be'ow Cookeville, whipped him almost to death, took S6OO cash from him, and made him leave the country im mediately. Roberts had just returned from Indiana, whither he bad removed during the war'. On last Saturday, a son of Tinker Baty of Fentress county, and a in n turned Hatfield came to Sparta 00 business, and left in the rain. They called at the bouse of John Dewees, a man seVehty-Gve years old, ten miles east of Sparta, to warm. The old mau having kindly invited them in, built them a good fire. Baty soon found that Dcwees had left Fentress in 1862, to avoid troubles there, and settled in this secluded place, nnd com menced abusing the old man, and gave him his choice to go to Fentress with them or take a whipping. Ttie old man objected to both—had no business in Fentress, and was too old to Hike the whipping. But when they had dried thoroughly, they started, tnk ing the old man with them n few hundred yards from the house, when Baty let in on him witn a stick, knocking him down sever al times, aud then with a limb whipped him severely. 1 also leu.ni to-day that a man mimed Jones, living five or six miles east of Smithville, was whipped to-lenth by three unknown men’ one night last week. If these men are not disarmed, and stop - ped from such inhuman acts, more girls and axes will have to be brought into requisition. Everybody is rejoiced to bear of the United States troops in Putnam, and we sincerely hope they will roniaiu there until all of these outlaws are disarmed in all of this mounluin country MISCELLANEOUS. The Honorable John A. J. Creswell, who succeeded Gov. Hicks in the United States Senate, and upon the death of Hon. Henry Winter Davis, succeeded him in the leader ; ship of the Maryland loyalists, is a mature ‘ , looking man of thirty-seven, with a full beard | and large broad forehead. He is large, qui j et and digniGed, and looks strong and posis live. His career has been highly honorable r| , J j as a lawyer, legislator, Adjutant General, Representative, aud Senator. He is an im pressive speaker, always logical and some j times eloquent. His recent eulogy on Mr. 1 j Davis was a masterly production, and all of i j his efforts promise well for success iu states > i manship. Gen. O. S. Ferry is suggested as a Republi -1 | can candidate for United States Senator from ; icut at the ensuing election. The western part of the State, wherein Gen. Fern ry is al home, has bad no United States Sena tor for a good many years, and seems to be stirring in his behalf. Chief Justice Chase, and other leading rad icals, express themselves satisfied, if the Con stitutional amendment introduced by Senator Wilson, Friday, shall be adopted by the Re construction Committee. By tbe recent statistics of the Kingdom of I’aly, it has been proved that no less than 53-1,485 of its inhabitants are artists, of whom 407,722 are men and 126,763 women. The greatest mass of solid iron in the world js Iron Mountain of Missouri—Bso feet high and two miles in circuit. Tbe longest railroad in the world is tbe Central Railroad of Illinois—73o miles long, aud which cost $15,000,000. Mrs. Horace Greeley and daughter, nnd Mrs. J. E. Johnson, nee Harriet Laue, are now visiting at Havana. More than a million new laid egg? a day, it I is said, are imported from France to England, i At the taking of Jerusalem, by Titus, 1,000,- 000 Jews died by slaughter and famine. j Cassius at one time slaughtered 37,000 ins i habitants of Selucio. A firm in Albany has received orders for j the manufacture of 50,000 Fenian flags. Tbe Masons in Brooklyn are going to build j a temple worth $300,000. During the occupation of the town of Port Royal, in tbe State of Virginia, by the Fede -1 ral troops, in May, 1864, tbe Misonic lodge rooms of Lodge No. 2 were broken open, and the silver jewels taken therefrom. They were present d to tbe lodge by a brother of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, more than one hundred years ago, and were much valued. From the Galveston Commercial Bulletin. Cotton Conjectures. We have, of late, had numerous verbal ac counts from many portions of the State rela i live to the now growing crop of cotton, and ;4>ouof them agree hi -luting that the pros- for .he codling season are exceedingly i Haltering, the freedmen working well, far be- Aond all anticipations, and that in some por ( lions more cotton had been planted than at any time prior to the outbreak of the late civil Wtr. We have heard of farmers who have heretofore worked from two to three hands are now working twenty five, fifty, and evenftnore This is more generally ap. plicable to tlie German farmers, who will make more than fourfold the amount of cot ton raised by them in ’6O- 61. The only fear of tbe larger planters is that when the time arrives for picking, the hot, sultry season of the year, that the negro, now that compulso ry labor bus been done away with, will not work witn the same diligence that, he does now, nnd that tbe g eat difficulty will be in gathering tbe cotton in time to prevent injury. With all these lights before us it is yet im possible to get anything but a vague idea of wbat the c op may be, still wo believe that if nothing happens to injure the plant, that our firmer estimate of about half a crop sos our State will prove to have been considerably under, rather than over tbe figure. This, however, must necessarily be all guess work, I es it has been generally conceded that even at the commencement of the picking season it is yet too early to make a reliable estimate of the growing crop If this was the case be fore t e war when the laborers were worked with regularity and efficiency, bow much more uncertain it is now when so large a por tion of the laborers 'hrougbout the Southern States have become inefficient, and, to a great extent, demoralized. This much for our State. The New Orleans Price Current of a late date quotes from the New York Commercial and Agricultural Review, edited by Mr. De- Bow, who, after an extensive tour through the cotton growing States, makes the follow ing calculations of the probable cotton crop of the entire South for the coming season. He assumes that under the advantages of the i slave labor system nnd full agricultural force that existed in 1860, the crop of the cotton growing States mig.it reach 5,000,000, though taking the chances one year with another, it would not be safe to estimate over 4,500,000 bales. Starting with these figures as a basis for his calculations, and influenced in his views by personal observations, he oeducts one-fourth for the loss of tbe inefficient ne gro population during t! e war, and another fourth for the inefficiency of the freedmen under the new labor system, thus reducing tbe amount of cotton to 2,250,000 bales, con tingent, however, that the whole cotton grow ing region is under cultivation. Sucu be contends is not the case, and assumes th it at least one-third of the cotton lands remain un cultivated, which would further reduce the entire yield to 1,500,000 bales. He says that tie figures are not likely to be increased by anything that, is now to happen, and may be greatly reduced by the ignorance, neglect or desertion of the laboring forces, which, judg ing Irom the experience of all other countries, is more likely to occur than not, and reduce tbe vop to 1,100,000 or 1,200.000 bales. His course of reasoning seem? to us to be sound, bu he has evidently taken tbe extreme inside track, aud can not, most, assuredly, well be made applicable to om Slate, as we have suffered but little, comparatively, ot tbe horrors of the late war—tbe negroes have r ot become d moralized to near as great an ex tent as in other Southern States. Neither have our gin houses, fences, farm imple ments, live stock, etc., been carried away or destroyed ns elsewhere, and we are, conse quent y, in a much better condition to raise a full crop than any other State. Hooish —The owner of a large dog at Gram) Rapids, Mich., a few days ago placed it one hundred dollar looking glass before bis canine to worry him. The dog flew around, barking and growling. The other was de lighted anil cried “sick ’em;” the dog “sick ed;” tbe mirror and the “other |dog” disap peared at the snme time. The joke rather turned 011 the owner. Civil Riotirs.—A white man stole a chick en, nnd a black m 11 it bog iu Goldsboro, N. C, recently. They were each tied to the whipping-post and submitted to forty lashes, save one, on the bare back. Howe’s cave, in Schoharie county, N.
