Information was afterward obtained
that Bell made iiis way to the river, just
below Charlestown, and procuring a small
boat, hoarded tiie steamer Cheater as she
passed, and it is supposed went to Balti
more. On obtaining this information,
parties were sent to intercept tiie nteamer
Trumpeter, in the Kassafrass river, who
went in pursuit of tiie murderer, aud as
the Trumpeter has a much shorter route
than the steamer Chester, she generally
arrives in Baltimore in advance of that
boat, aud it is confidently imped that the
murderer was arrested upon his arrival in
Baltimore
The jury of inquest rendered a verdict
in accordance w ith the above facts, when
the woman was committed to jail by Jus
tice Tarbutton as an accessory to tiie mur
der, and was handed over to the Jailer by
Constable Gafibrd.
The object appears to have been botli
robbery aud malice, and it is said there
bad been some difficulty between Mr.
Gi more and Bell a short time previously.
Mr. if. raised a great deal of garden pro
duce, which he had been selling in Balti
more, and it is believed that lie had a con
siderable sum of money about the house,
and it was with the double object of grati
tying liis malice and obtaining the money
that Bell perpetrated tiie horrible deed.
The murdered man was childless.

We gathered yesterday some of the par
ticulars of an affair occurring on Friday
night last, on the Balt river road, about
ten miles down the Ohio, which eclipses
in fiendish atrocity anything that lias
found ils way into Kentucky print for the
yast ten years. Time and the inevitable
“other side of the story" may show some
palliative circumstances, but it would in
deed he strange if any ex«use were possi
ble for such fiendish brutality.
On the night mentioned a body of ten
men went to a house iu the neighborhood
referred to, where a servant girl named
Nellie Connor was employed, amt drag
ging her out, conveyed her to a piece of
woods several hundred yards distant.—
Here they had a bucket of tar in readiness,
and, stripping the uufortuuate woman of
every particle of her clothing in spite of
her cries and struggles, they bedaubed her
from head to foot, leaving not an inch of
her hotly or limbs free from the tenacious
compound. Having finished their horrid
work, they left her to stagger alone to the
nearest house, whereshe was kindly taken
in and cared for. The man of the house
immediately ordered a quantity of warm
water, and by great exertion succeeded in
removing the tar, though the poor woman
came near dying during the night. Medi
cal aid was promptly summoned, and wilh
good care she soon recovered sufficiently to
relate tiie details of her misfortune. Yes
terday she was brought to this city, and
her story was laid before the Chief of Bo
lice.
Bhe is said to be a young woman of
good appearance, and Is about twenty-two
vears of age. Her face is almost raw from
the effects of the tar, and her hair was
shorn close to her head in order to relievo
her from the surplus of her involuntary
toilet.
The only cause thus far assigned for the
gross outrage perpetrated upon her is that
she repeated some neighborhood scandal
in regard to somebody’s wife. We shall
doubtless lie able to ascertain more satis
factory particulars at an early day. None
of the parties engaged in this atrocious
affair have yet been arrested. —Louisville

that a dispute between Mr. Binckley and

assistance. After suffering considerable
punishment, two Deputy Marshals hap

HOW 111 LBEKT|RIAS THE STATE HOAD.
Sa> s the Atlanta Constitution ;
The State ltoad is virtually the Treasury
of Georgia. Before the war it paid the
taxes of the people. Properly managed, it
will do so again. Let us glance at its
economy under the present administra
tion. Hulbert displaces competent men
for incompetent ones. Does it pay? Let
us see. He retains the competent dis
chargees for an indefinite period, as teach
ers for the incompetent incoming ones.
For instance, lie notifies a conductor that
some outside Radical is about to take his
place. The new man, who knows noth
ing of the business, takes possession, but
the discharged lias to be retained for weeks
in order to show the new man how to run
tHe machine. Both are drawing wages for
the same work, at one and the same time ;
all which comes out of the pockets of tax
payers. Are they ab’e to be taxed to sup
port duplicate employes on a road, the
property of the iktate, merely to support
the ineompeteiicy of the Radical party?
How They Get Guns.—much sui P »i«e
is often expressed in relation to how and
where the negroes in some sections ob
tain tiie new Enfield rifles with which
they parade. A circumstance related us
by Maj.jMhXson, of South Carolina, may
help to unravel the mystery :
Some weeks ago a coffin was received at
Newmarket, a station on the railroad
about twenty-five miles above Dorn’s
Mine, in Edgefield District, marked to a
noted Radical. The suspicions of the sta
tion-master being excited by its weight, it
was opened and found to contain uew En
field rifles. These were taken out, and
a few days after the coffin was delivered
to the person to whom it was directed,
who bad the prudence to keep silent in re
gard to the loss of the contents.

Caterpillar on the Sea Islands. —
As journalists, relating the facts of the
day, we f. el constrained under the devel
opment now before us, to state that the
prospects of the Sea Island coltou crop are
desperate beyond peradventure. lu every
section of the country from Florida to
Georgetown, our reports are as bad as bad
can be. Whilst the caterpillar is sweep
ing the entire east coast of Florida, they
have made their appearance iu this State
in every corner where the long cotton is
nlanted, in numbers, not only on the Sea
Islands hut on the main also. We have
authority for saying that they pervade
every island ou our coast, and from Poeo
taligo to Charleston, are devouring the
crops along the whole line of the Savau
nah and Charleston Railroad. —Charleston

Vermont.— Latest returns from this
venomous Radical pocket borough put
the majority for that party down at 27,000
two thousand less than Liucoln received iu

stumpers for the Beast Butler party jiersist
iu declaring it an increase over any former
majority. How proud their patron saint,
Ananias, must be of them !
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER.
I iie Combination Against the Cotton Plan
teh.— We spoke briefly Saturday morning in the
Commercial column of the combination formed by
New fork anil Liverpool speculators and Man
Chester spinners to beat the Southern Cotton
planters out of this year’s crop, as they did that of
last year.
Jfaving not the shadow of a doubt of the exist
ence of this mean, contemptible and villainous
conspiracy, we intend io ventilate and tight it to
the last In the first place the receipts for lS6s-'69
cannot possibly be greater than they were in 1867-
’6S. In proof of this we append the following
statement:
estimated kei eipts fob 1868-69,
At New Orleans 835,000 bait*.
fs/uixuut*. —ln some portions of this
State tin- worm has appeared, but the
bottom lauds have not suffered from
inundations as in 1867.
Arkansas. —Accounts are generally
favorable, and the crops promise well.
Missiiudf/pi. —The low lands have es
caped inundations, but are now infest
ed by the worms.
At Galveston 155,000 “
Texas lias nearly the same area of
land planted as in 1807, and tiie pros
pects are encouraging.
At Mobile 300,000 “
Alabama. —Tiie crop of this Stab; at
one time promised remarkably well,
but in consequence of the recent rains
and ravages of the worm, an average
yield cannot be looked for.
At Savannah 400,000 “
deortfia. —Much less land than usual
lias been planted in Cotton, and the
crojis in the southwestern portion of
State have been seriously injured by
heavy rains and worms.
At Charleston 275 (MX) “
South Carolina. —Late pains through
out the upland region have told unfa
vorably upon tiie crops, which, until
very recently, were quite promising.
Florida. —The accounts from this
State are gloomy iu the extreme,
heavy rains and caterpillars having
inflicting incalculable injury upon the
crops.
At North Carolina 35,000 “
Virginia and Forth Carolina. —These
States, lying i nryaim Lire uuiwu le
gion, their production is comparative
ly small; but the limited crops under
cultivation are doing well. Their ports
will show considerable receipts of cot
ton transported over-laud from other
States.
At other ports 135,000 “
3,185,000 bales.
The Receipts for 1867-’6B were greater than this
estimate shows. That being the case and there
being no falling off in the demand, why should it
sell for less than it lias been selling for during the
summer just past? But you say an excess is
coming from India. That is not true, for India will
not produce more this than it did iast year. Instead
tiie demand being only as great now as it was of
then, the whole world knows that the consumption
of cotton goods increases every yeai. At 41 per
pound it would still be the cheapest fabric in ex
istence with which to clothe tiie world.
Taking these facts into consideration, our Cotton
is bound to be worth 35 cents per pound in this
market before the season of 1808-’C9 closes ; and
we advise our planters to hold on to their cotton
and contend for this price.
Rates of Inteuest. —We do not see why our
bankers and brokers and money lenders should
charge such high rates for their money. In Savan
nah, money can be obtained at from 7 to 12 per cent,
per annum. But here tiie rates run from 18 to 30.
Our planters and warehouses may soon need a great
deal to save their crops from sacrifice to tiie cotton
combination. At present rates, many prefer selling
to paying such interest and taking the chances of a
rise.
But tiie reasonable rates loans can be effected in
Savannah, will drive cotton aud trade away from
Macon. No one can or will deny that they are
usurious and oppressive; that they cripple our com
merce, and hamper trade. We think our banks
would make just as much by reducing rates and'
loaning thereby more money. They, in all eases,
exact unquestioned collateral security for all let
out, and a reduction need not carry with it a relax-,
ation of this rule.
It is reported that two new hanks will soon com
mence operations liere, and we can but hope they
will be conducted upon more liberal principles, if
not more just. We hope they will at least reduce
the rates of them all, aud bring them down parallel
with other cities. Our commerce demands it, the
general good of the community asks it, aud we shall
really be glad to see the present system broken
down, believing it will be alike beneficial to lender
and to borrower. The high rates of interest invited
other banks, and they are coming.
Shipping Cotton to Distant Markets. —AVe
question tWr> noliev of planters ship
ping cotton to markets and to men with whom they
have no acquaintance. To say the least of it, it is
imprudent. It is trusting your goods and your
money to strangers. Take, for instance, an obscure
planter in Houston county. He takes fifty bales to
a railroad depot and ships it to some factor in
New York, in many eases without even taking the
weights, and in no case knowing how it will he
classed. It starts forward and at every point of re
sliipment it is more or less fleeced by those hand
ling it. It reaches New York more or less really
short in weight. The factur sells and reports sales.
How easy is it for him to report ten pounds short
on every bale when there has really been only
three; to report the classification one or two grades
too low, and the sale one or two cents less. The
planter knows nothing and never will know any
thing about the cheat and swindle practiced upon
him. The factor rascals him out of ten and fifteen
dollars upon every bale besides his legitimate com
missions and charges. lie has no earthly remedy.
He might go in person to New York and investigate
for six months and find nothing wrong.
The best way is to bring the cotton to Macon and
sell it right here. No one but a regular dealer and
speculator is sharp enough to keep up with their
brethren in distant markets, and even they are
swindled sometimes out of the shirts ou their
backs. The only way they can make a cent is by
going in as partners with someone in Savannah
and New York. Otherwise they are literally skinned
alive.
Amalgamation op tiie Muscogee and South
western Railroads. —At the meeting of the
stockholders of the Muscogee Road at Columbus
last Monday, they unanimously voted to amalga
mate it with the Southwestern. AVe loam from a
gentleman present that the matter was decided iu
a few minutes, and not one vote was cast against
the proposition.
It now becomes necessary for the stockholders of
the Southwestern to ratify the trade. Printed
blanks have been sent to each one of them, which
are to be returned with votes either for or against
consolidation.
AVe hope the proposition will carry for more rea
sons than one. It is understood the Savannah aud
Gulf Railroad is ready with a proposition to lease
the Muscogee and guarantee eight per cent, divi
dend —the meaning of which is very plain : It is
for the purpose of beating Macon, the Southwes
tern and the Central out of all the Cotton trade of
Columbus, and for turning all Cotton raised along
the Muscogee back through Columbus and over the
Savannah aud Gulf. Not a hale would be allowed
to come this way from Alabama, or anywhere else,
if that road could keep it. It would be to the in
terest oj Ha s*wnnah and Gulf to blot the Musco
gee out of existence, aud that Company working
to get possession of it for the purpose of making it
wholly subservient.
But we hope the stockholders will effectually de
feat the nice little game by ratifying the amalgama
tion.
“ Now, Bv Saint Paul, the AA'ouk Goes Brave
lt On I”—Within the last few days thirty-five car
/or/s of Cotton have passed over the Muscogee,
Southwestern, and Central Railroads from Mont
gomery, Alabama.
This commences anew era iu transportation.
Heretofore all the Cotton crop of Middle Alabama
has found an outlet at Mobile. But President
Wad ley, of the Central Railroad, at once seeing the
superior advantages presented by the above roads
for the transportation of that cotton, quickly
formed the necessary combinations and consolida
tions, and now bids fair to get at least nine-tenths
of the crop. He can lay Montgomery cotton down
in New York from ten to fifteen days quicker thau
if it goes by Mobile. AVe would advise Mobile
herself to ship all her cotton over this route. It
presents superior and far quicker advantages thau
the old sailing hulks going out of her harbor. It
takes those old tubs ten and fifteen days to load,
two days more to get out to sea, and about fifteen
more to beat and buff around the coast to New
York. Iu six days we can laud cotton in New York,
aud report returns upon it iu four more. This is
an age of steam and electricity. Ox carts, sailing
vessels, and such like, have completely played out
State Printing. —ln declaring J. A\. Burke the
duly elected printer for this session, the Legisla
ture did an act of simple justice. It belongs to him
bv the plainest law. Eveu Bullock was too honest
to interpose a veto, although he lacked the nerve
to sign the bill, aud allowed it to go by default-
AYell, the State may rest assured the work will be
executed iu a better style than such work has been
done before he got hold of it, for there is no office
this side of New York so thoroughly competent to
do it
Planters' Associations.—We would eneour
j age these institutions, for they are, if conducted
properly, calculated to do a great deal of good,
j They will regulate the price of labor, reward men
I for being faithful to their contracts, and protect
the planters from evil and worthless men, who
breed mischief and do little work.
They might be made invaluable in another way,
and that is in the collection of information and sta
tistics upon the subject of agriculture. The off
cers of such Associations should collect all the
figures they can upon Cotton, aud impart them to
the members, in order to protect them against un
natural combination ; to swindle them out of any
given crop information could also be gathered
upon new implement of agriculture, and upon the
different methods of the cultivation of anything we
arc iu the habit of growing. Such an Association
would be not unlike an Association of Doctors.
They will have a direct tendency to bring about
close relations between tiie planters, aud protect
ing them against the many evils they now iiave to
contend against.

bereavement, and our liodge to deplore the loss
of a true and worthy brother.
Respected and beloved lie lived, and died In the
hope of a glorious immortality. So may we live,
and so may we die.
The fact that Brother Gaddey was a '‘Master
Mason,” and approved by bis brethren as such,
true and faithful to his trust in every particular,
we estimate as a more worthy tribute to his
memory than all the fulsome praise that could
lie awarded to his many virtues. Therefore, in
view of this sad Bereavement, we reverently sub
mit to the dispensation of an All-Wise, yet In
scrutable Providence, controlled by a hand that
doesall things well ; and hereby
Resolved, la t, That, as a Lodge, we tender to the
bereaved family and kindred of our deceased
brother our heartfelt sympathy and condolence
in their great affliction, and commend them for
comfort to Him whose promise is to them that
mourn.
2d, That, In regard to the memory of the de
ceased, the Jewels and fnrniture of the Lodge he
clothed in mourniDg.and that we wear the usual
i adge for the space of t hirty days,
3d, That these proceedings he recorded in the
Lodge Book, on a page set apart lor the purpose,
and that the Kecretary have them published In

HAH THE SUMMER ENFEEBLED YOU?
Nine out of every ten to whom tills question Is
ad dressed, ts they answer it candidly, will an
swer it in tlie aftlrmalive. Home may reply lo It
from a sick bed ; others, of a stronger constitu
tion and greater powers of endurance, may only
experience a slight lassitude as the consequence
of Die torrid season. But some portion cf tlie
vitality of all human beings oozes out of them
under Die pressure ftf great and continuous heat,
and the sooner the loss is eorupletely repaired
the less susceptible will tlie system be to tlie un
healthy influence of Die fall malaria.
The most genial and wholesolo tonic thill has
ever been offered to man as a means ol recruit
ing his exhausted strength and fortifying him
against the attacks of disease, is lIOHTKTTKR’H
urouiou niTTl’Rs. Taken at this season It is
a perfect safeguard against lnieriniitont fever,
billons affections, and all the epidemics which
follow close upon tlie expiration of the summer.
It is an invigorant aud alterative, without any
of tlie drawbacks which attacli to mere stimu
lants, and Is the only preparation of the kind
which a conscientious physician would feel In
clined to prescribe for ladies In delicate health.
Nothing ean be more pure, more harmless, more
certain to restore the vigor of the system perma
nently and thoroughly, without exciting tlie
pulse or Hie brain.
