A FIRST-RATE NOTICE OF HYENA HOLT. Commenting upon the statement re cently made that the gentleman who mar ried Miss Annie Surratt had been dis charged from ilie service of the Govern ment therefor, at tbe instance of that monster, Joseph Holt, the World says nothing more can be probable Holt was one of the chief agents in the murder of Mrs- Surratt, and the whole career of the man proves him to be capable •/ avenging his own crimes upon the victims of those crimes, even to the third and fourth generation. It is a disgrace to the nation that such a person as Holt should be retained in its service ; it is a disgrace to the army that ire six mid be su tiered to wear its uniform ; it is a disgrace to hon orable men that they should permit them selves even ollieial intercourse with him. For tbe offences by which Holt lias earned the infamy which in history will attach to his name have been offences not only against the laws of the laud, such as par tisan passion might have provoked, and partisan acts of Congress may condone, but against the laws of God, of humanity, aiu l of honor. They drew tiieir origin, not from a perverted intellect, hut from a corrupt heart, and they put tiieir perpe trator into one category, not with the Alvas and the John Knoxes, but with the Vargases and the Jeffreys of the past. In its small way thi' wretched piece of spite, levelled at the daughter of the woman whom lie procured to be murdered by a military commission, exactly reproduces the temper in which he dealt witti graver matters of life and death during the war. Let a single example suffice. We vio late no contideuce in relating it, for tlie times are fast coming in w hich the real nature and not the ficticious repute of men conspicuous on either side in our late struggle, will decide, as it ought to decide, the feeling of the people towards them, and the true records should begin, therefore, to ‘‘leap to light.” At the height of the war, a well-known journal ist of this city, who tiad for some time published in his paper “personal notices” of the whereabouts and well being of Southern prisoners in Northern prisons, was notified from tbe War Department that this practice g tve otleuce and must be discontinued. Goiug to Washington, the journalist explained to Secretary Stanton that lie was only reciprocating publications as to Northern prisoners in the South which were suffered to be made in the Southern papers, and begged that no obstacle be interposed to prevent so humaue a thing. Stanton, to his credit be it mentioned, declared that the order had been issued in his absence, and re« ferred the jourualist to Holt. The same explanations and representations were made to Holt in his turn. He listened impatiently, and, when the journalist had concluded his statement, made this reply, which should link his name for ever in a fitting union witli that of the judicial assassius of the gentle and noble Lady Alice Lisle: “These personals, sir, are aid aud comfort to the enemy. If by them you should communicate to a South ern mother the news that her rebel sou Was dying oi consumption, but cared for, you would be guilty of treason, aud I should be for puuishiug you as a traitor.” t GUTTING THEIR EYES OPEN-GRATIFYING ASSURANCES. We had the pleasure of a call, Friday from Mr. James. R. Butts, of this place, who has just returned from an extended tour of two months duration, through some of the New England States, New York and New Jersey. He reports a very healthy sentiment at work there among the people, with re gard to the South aud its advantages as a country for settlers from the North, and says that they are getting tiieir eyes open ed to the delusions and humbugs practised upon them so long by wicked politicians, with regard to tile insecurity of life and property at the South. The reports of the large numberof people fromall parts of the North who visited us last winter, and re turned home ueiighted with the couutry and climate, and orderly condition of af fairs, generally, have done much to bring about this gratifying result. Mr. Butts is positive that there will be a very large immigration to tbe South, and Georgia, particularly, next fall and winter. The classes proposing to come are agri culturists and manufacturers, who will bring ample capital with them, and tie prepared to take right hold and go to work atotic.e. A party of six, acting somewhat as an advance guard, are expected here next week, to “prospect” preparatory to making a final move later in the year. We are sure they will be welcomed, right heartily, and that the sight of the mag nificent harvests now ripening in our fields will not do them any harm. They could not come at a better time. While at the North, Mr. B. visited Mr. Araasa Sprague, brother of the Rhode Is land Senator, at his home in Providence. Mr. S. made many inquiries about manu facturers and manufactories at ttie South, and ireely expressed the opinion that the immense establishments belonging to himself and brother, would be, if situated at the South, surrounded by more circum stauces calculated to enhance tiieir profits, than anywhere else. Senator Sprague writes Mr. B. a letter, in which he says, very emphatically, that if the firm should, at any time, conclude to extend their operations, it will certainly be Southward. We hope that time is not far distant, and that Georgia, with her unrivaled water power, will be the objective point of this raid of the spindles. No State offers a richer spoil. “GEX." HOBUbOX. The M ilitary Secretary of the Navy—How Selected. From Washington Dispatch N. Y. Herald, 28. President Grant seems to be governed very much by the same principles iu the choice of his Cabinet officers that he is in the selection of his horses. The best il lustration of this is found iu the case ot the new Secretary of the Navy, Mr. ltohe son. The President met Mr. Kobeson for the first time about a year ago, when he was introduced by Senator Catteli. He had met him once or twice since, but only casually. When Mr, Borie told the President that lie wanted to retire from the Cabinet, Grant asked him who he would recom mend as his successor. Borie mentioned Mr. Kobeson. Grant said that he did not, know him well enough. This happened just previous to the President’s trip to West Point. He wanted to get a chance to study Robeson’s good and bad points without letting the object of his curiosity know about it. Before starting for West Point the President said to Borie: “Sup pose you write a note to your friend Robe sou and say you are going with me to West Point, and that as you have the privilege of inviting a friend, you would like him to lie one of the party. In that way I will get a chance to see what kind of a mau lie is. Borie, who, it see ns, was anxious to place Robeson in his old shoes, readily complied with the "request. The result of it was Mr. Robe soil made one of the Presidential party at West Point. On the way |> and during the time they remained ' .-re, Grant em braced every opportunity to draw Robe son out on various topics. Os course Mr. Robeson —who had no idea at that time of being offered a place in the Cabinet—felt considerably honored iu the attentions he received from the President, and spoke his mind quite freely on every subject in troduced. Grant is said to hi -a eyed Robeson as a man does a horse .. is about to pur chase. The President told Borie that Rob eson bad many good points about him aud he would appoint him Secretary of the Navy, as he guessed lie was about as good a man as he could get. A Waste jP Vvokds. —“As President Grant was driving to the New York ferry the other morning, he was recognized by the driver of an .Eighth Avenue car, who shouted at the top of his voice ; 4 Do ye moind the dhrop o’ wather 1 gave ye, fornint the stunted poines at Bphotsylva liia Court-house?’ ” Pat was wasting his breath. Graut neither remembers nor rewards such ser vices, as huudreds of crippled soldiers, who have been turned out of, or denied offices, allover the country, will testily. It Pat had subscribed to that house, now, or taken any stock in the G. G. G. E., the case would be different. To Flank .'-moke House Thieves The Tbomasville Enterprise is prompted to offer ttie following advice to those whose smoke houses have suffered from raids: Most of the country smoke or meat houses, have earth floors, let the owners floor them with Uuhtwood logs buried on a level with the surface of the earth floor, the ends of the logs extending under the bottom logs or sills of the smoke house, and we will guarantee that no provisions will thereaf ter go out by under-ground passage. The landlord of a hotel said to a board er “Book o’ here 1 I want you to pay vo’ur bill, and you mi*st! I have asked you often enough for it, aud 1 tell you now that you don’t leave the house until you have paid it.” “Good!” said the lodger. “I’ll stay with you as long as I live.” K S: I !, K £, S,n,S: ' T JOHNSONON THE TENNESSEE ELEC TION—HIS OPINION OF GEN. GRANT. Ex President Johnson arrived in Wash ington Sunday evening, aud was at once pounced upon by special correspondents The correspondent of the New York Her ald sends a long account of an interview, from which we take the following ex tract : Correspondent— \V r hat do you think will be tiie result of tbe contest in Tennessee? Andy Johnson—l think Senter will be elected. Thousands who remaiued quiet before are -now uctively at work in the State. Thousands who kept away from llio polls are now making themselves heard, and are determined upon being heard, if they be not allowed to vote. They will talk and talk until they make public sentiment unanimous for justice and fair play. That is what is being done in Tennes see now. Even old Brownlow is coming around, wishing to be on the winning side and seeing tbe change coming. You notice he opposes further proscription. He does this not from principle, but from policy. It is precisely the same way in Virginia and other Southern States. I tell you, sir, if this country is to be kept from despotism, anarchy or imperialism, the nucleus has to come from the South, when restored. It will be small at first, but mark me, sir, it will come that way. Grant would see this if lie bad au idea in his head, but lie lias not. He has no po litical creed at all. I would rather have a good heretic than a man without any failh. I would place more dependence ou such a man. As I said before, he is a mere incident. There has been a great social upheaval and Grant is left on the top and thinks there is something in him. It is precisely like a volcanic disturbance. The natural condition of tiie earth is broken up, strata after strata is broken through, things are displaced and turned upside down, and what should be at the bottom is tbrown high up. That is justGraut’s case. Why, Ben Butler iiad a wonderfully correct idea of Grant. He used to come to see me much at ouetime, and expressed tiie pro foundest contempt for Grant. Hisetimate of Grant was about the same as my own. He thought Grant could be made to do anything, that he could be made a com plete tool, and that if he desired he could have himself invited to Grant's house. It happened precisely so, afterward, just as Butler boasted. You remember Butler was invited to Grant’s house, and it was brought about by Butler himself. Butler understands Grant thoroughly. I have no hesitation in declaring that Grant is a mean, averi clous, cunning, spiteful man—a complete bundle of petty jealousies, spites and lies. He has no courage. I made him fairly quail before my glance at that Cabinet meeting, when I asked him about that fa mous correspondence concerning Blanton. I asked him question after question, aud he quailed. When I finished he stood up, took his hat in his hand, and in a mean, sneaking way, said, “Gentlemen, have you any more questions to ask ?” and slunk out of the room. I convicted him of lying aud cowardice then, and you remember all about it, sir, for you published it at tbe time. Tbe Ex-President sa ! d a great many other things spicy and interesting, but as the hour is so late I am obliged to break off. A SPINSTER ON MATRIMONY. Bachelors know all about tiie art of managing wives. Bpiusters perfectly un derstand how to bring up children. Or, if they do not, they think they do. Mar ried folks and parents, however, do not appreciate the exceeding wisdom of single people’s views on such matters ; and, for tiie same reason, they won’t probably at tach much importance to Miss Busan B. Anthony's notions of tiie cause and cure of wedded misery. Miss Anthony in dulges in the solacing theory that, as a rule, husbands are tyrants and wives slaves. Bhe would subdue the one, and emancipate tiie other. The principal grievance of the temale victims to the marriage shackle, as she puts it in a speech before the Woman’s Suffrage Association, is, that they caunot “obtain money to leave tiie city” unless their husbands give it to them! Having traveled and lectured iu pretty much every town and village iu the United States, Miss Anthony has an idea that tiie perpetual transporting of oneself and one’s baggage from one point andoue bad hotel to another point and another bad hotel constitutes the height of human felicity, aud that the wives of America are piuiug to death for that privilege. Her idea of perfect liberty ami complete hap piness for wives is, that they shall run off' to Concord, Massachusetts; Portland, Maine; Syracuse, New York; Chicago, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri, or Train's uew city in Nebraska, to attend female suffrage canventions and bear Miss An thony speak. Not being able to do this for tbe want of those funds which tiie Bashaw of a husband holds in his brutal grasp, she would have them “ail inde- earning their own support,” so that, witli their wages or gains, they could exercise the diviue instinct of loco motion to their hearts’ content. Ah ! Miss Anthony ! your advice is all thrown away. The wives of America, so long as they are comfortably supported at home, won’t declare their independence of their hus bands and take to braiding straw bats, binding slioes and making shirts, or lec turing to earn extra money, and if they did, they wouldn’t speud it iu traveling to women's suffrage conventions to bear you speak. They had rattier put up witli the solid advantages of what you call “sla very” than lo take tbe doubtful risks of your article of “ freedom.” They know their real interests and they understand the situation, and that is why they give you the cold shoulder. Her advice, above quoted, like her other recommendation that married people should sleep apart, on aeeouut of their supposed electrical differ ences, will not go down '.—Journal of Com merce. THE PACIFIC KAIL.RO.VI>. The Hon J. N. Morris, Government Commissioner to inspect the Pacific Rail road, has made a lengthy report. He thus condemns this great work : 1. This road is not as the law requires, a “first class road.” 2. It is not supplied with the necessary buildings. 3. It has not safe and substantial bridges. 4. The tunnels are not wide enough for a double track. 5. The road-bed at the grade line is not of auuiform width of fourteen feet, nor the rails limd. G. Especially would it be extremely dan gerous for heavy trains to pass over the western portion of the road. 7. The ties have sunken in many in stances, sometimes at one end and some times entirely, the dirt being washed from under them ; this is more generally the case on embankments. Miles upon miles of them were laid during the winter while tiie frost wasou the ground. The rails, consequently 7 , have an uneven bearing, and in numerous instances are bent, aud ap pear as you look back upon them like a succession of small waves. I saw, how ever, a number of men at several different points engaged in raising the ends of the ties and packing dirt uuder them, so as to level the track as far as that would do it. Two considerations remain which I deem of more importance than others : The road is not ballasted, nor is any part of it. , Cross-ties are laid with great irregular ity on the bed of the road. They appear, indeed, to have been pitched on, aud the rails spiked to them wherever they fell, provided they did not fall too far apart. The material objection is, however, to the ties themselves. They are of soft, W lußegard to its cost, the government has furuished iu bonds the small amount of $G -> 967 192 The contractors owe the government $3,335,963 for interest, which they have been unable to pay. From this, what may be expected in the future? If the company cannot uow, witli all the immense resources with which they have been supplied pay the interest on’the government bonds, how cau it hereafter pay interest on all these bonds? The Blue Ridge Railroad.— R. K. Scott, Governor of South Carolina, and Chairman of the Executive Committee of tiie Blue Ridge Railroad, has advertised for proposals from contractors to complete the road from Anderson, South Carolina, to Knoxville, Tennessee, a distance of one hundred aud fifty-two miles. Payment for tiie work is to be made in the seven per cent, first mortgage bonds of ttie road, principal and interest payable iu coin, and guaranteed by the State. Proposals will be received until the eighth of this mouth. Dougherty Superior Court.—Judge Clark has adjourned this Court to the 4th Monday iu November. —Paper culla— Newspaper attacks. MA.SONIC. GEORGIA MASONIC MUTUAL LIFE INSU RANCE COMPANY. Although a majority of the members of this company are in tiie Btate of Georgia, we are well represented iu Alabama, Lou isiana, Florida, Tennessee, and Nortli aud \ South Carolina, with some iu more dis tant places. We receive many letters from members and ethers, asking for in formation of our progress and success; sometimes mentioning their fears that our noble and benevolent institution will eventuate In a failure. We always take pleasure iu showing them its progress, its benefits already realized, auil its future safety, which is beyond a doubt. For ad ditional information to our membership, we from week to week write a short para graph or two iu the Masonic column of this paper. From its formation iu April, 18G7, until February Jast, its increase of members, in numbers, without any large diminution by deaths, was steady aud uniform—being then 4250 members on tiie list. For the three preceding and the three succeeding months there were 30 deaths.causingheavy mortuary assessments upon the member ship. During this time money was very scarce throughout the country, and many of our Masonic brethren who were iu limited circumstances were unable to pay their assessments. Resignations and trans fers to the new classes, deaths and drop ped by default, caused us to lose a good many from our list. Yet, with all these difficulties, our list in May numbered 4435. When a member dies, resigns, transfers, or is dropped by default, his number is giveu to tbe first ou tiie list of app icants, and is called a reissue. We have now about eighty names less of tiie above number to be replaced under new reissues. We are daily receiving applications for membership, aud shall soon have our list on the increase, to the filling up of Class A during the year, with large additions to other classes. Returns from tiie agents of tbe company, forwardiug the collected assessments of the mouth of May, give us very few withdrawals from the com pany; aud we may have no fears as to tiie success now before us of the great benevo leut benefits of the institution. Our June assessments will call for payments to the heirs of three deceased brethren. guarih \ns. We learn that there are some members very much troubled in anticipation of the difficulty growing out of tiie appointment of guardians aftei death. To all such we say this difficulty has been removed by tiie action of tbe Convention iu October last. In ail cases of death that have oc curred since October, aui that may occur thereafter, the money will be paid to the widow, for the benefit of herself aud chil dren, unless otherwise directed by wiU of deceased. SOUTHERN CROP PROSPECTS. During tbe past week we have examin ed a great number of reports received from all parts of the cotton region. We give below, tiie information derived from them, and our friends can see what lias beeu done up to this time. Supposing the crop safely through tiie trying mouth of August, and tiie at my worm did not make its appearance, aud tiie frost should he late, the freedmeti continue to work well, and the picking season favorable, there would still remain the very serious question of the picking capacity of the Bouth. There was sufficient inducement last year to cause planters lo make every effort to secure the crop, and the same will be done this year. But witli tiie present labor it would hardly be wise to calculate upon any large increase over the crops of the past two years. Tiie weather throughout the cotton re gion appears to have been very unfavor able up to the last week in May. Heavy and continuous rains fell in April and part of May. which seriously retarded planting operations. The wet weather continued after the planting, and the nights were unusually cold. The plant consequently made hut little progress, aud the com pla'uts of poor stands were universal. After 25th May there was a decided change. The days were hot aud the uigiits warm with occasional showers, and a great improvement took place iu tiie young plant. Latterly tiie accounts have been as good as could be desired, and the stand is universally healthy aud vigorous, but the plant is small. Tbe season aver ages from two to three weeks behind last year, which renders the plant more liable to damage from worms, frost, &e. In tbe Btates of North Carolina, Geor gia and parts of Alabama, commercial fertilizers have been geuerally and very extensively used. In tiie other cotton Btates, where the lauds are richer, we can not see that aoy have been bought. As tiie plauters generally ate this year in much better circumstances financially, there is to be noticed a decided improve ment iu tbe stock and implements neces sary to the successful cultivation of tbe crop. We find tbat many of the freedmen are this year working hired lands, and tiiis is of course included in tiie increased acre age. It is well known that, while more corn, peas, potatoes, etc , may be raised in such cases, the yield of cotton per acre is decidedly less than where tiie negro works under white supervision. North Carolina —About the same acreage; less black and more white labor; crop backward; stand small but healthy, Bouth Carolina.—Ten percent, more land planted; less labor; poor stand. Georgia.—Ten per cent, more land planted; five per cent, less labor; freed men doing well; stand backward but healthy. Florida.— Fifteen per cent, more land planted; same amount of labor; ciop well worked and forward; some accounts on the bottoms of caterpillar. Alabama.— Ten per cent, more laud ; a little less labor; overflow necessitated replautiug. In the upper part of the State crop very backward ; stands irregular. Mississippi.— Ten to fifteen percent, more laud planted; labor deficient; stands irregular ; three weeks late. Louisiana —Same acreage; laborers do ing well, but less iu number; sugar culti vation drawn off' many; crop backward; moderate stands. Arkansas— Bame acreage; crops very backward; Jess labor and not so efficient. Texas—Ten per cent, more land; crops forward and well worked; same negro labor; more white, all working well; same reports of worms. Tennessee—Twelve percent, more land; stand unfavorable; more white labor, but less black . Easton de Vo's. Circular. No Danger of War.—Judge Wood ward, of Pennsylvania, speaking recently of the talk about a war with England, said: “Men who speak the English language will never wage war any more as amoug themselves. Insurrections and outbreaks, no doubt, will occur uow and then, but national wars among people of our lineage and language are improbabilities of so high a degree as to be practically impossi ble. “Such politicians as Sumner and Chan dler will always be crying out for war, just as ravens screech over battle fields for carcasses on which to feed, out they rep resent not the heart, or life, or sense of the nation. And if every man of us should determine to fight England, she wouldn’t fight us. She would pay all the damages of the Alabama and give us Canada to boot, rather than have a year’s war with us. We are iu the condition of two game cocks, one of whom is afraid and the other dares not, and therefore each wears his gaflk and does his crowing without an en counter, and it will be so to the end * * * 1 have no fears of war with England.”" Asa striking evidence of the return of the tobacco trade to New Orleans, we may cite the recent cargo of over 1000 hogs heads brought by the Robert E. Lee, and the arrival yesterday morning of the Richmond, with no less thau 1,213 hogs heads. All the Western boats are bring ing on their regular trips a proportionate quuDtity of the staple.—A. O.

The schedule time is: from San Francisco to Chicago, five days, seven hours, t” Bt. Louis, five days, five hours; to New York, seven days. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, who has recently passed over the Pacific railway, gives eight days, two aud-a-half hours, as the time required to pass from New York to Ban Francisco, waiting five hours at Chicago and ten hours at Pro montory .QThe Central Pacific trains, it is stated, coming East, pass over the road eleven hours quicker than in going West. The extra expenses for meals and sleeping cars are from $5 to $0 a day. The meals, until reaching Omaha, cost seventy-five cents each; from Omaha to Promontory, sl, (gold;) from Promontory to Sacra mento, sl, (gold.) The sleeping car charges vary from fifty to seventy-five cents. • A gentleman, in noticing some in stances in tiie education of children, said he knew of a woman who used to tie her boy to the bedpost on Buuday, while she went to church, and made him learn the hymn beginning, “Thine earthly Sab baths, Lord, we love.” For the Journal and Messenger. How Turner Uaineto be Poulnianler. Mr Editor: As the Postoffice in your city seems to be the all absorbing topic of ihe day, 1 propose to give yon a few facts in regard to Turn er's appointment. I obtained the information iu Atlauta, from one high in authority among the Radicals—and it may be relied on as strictly cor rect. I give these items for two reasons : First as a matter of history Secondly, that your readers may sec the auituusof the party in power, and the very little respect they have for any white man in Maeon—whether Democrat or Radical. Turner went to Washington in the interest of Swayze, and was backed by Gov. Bullock, and his influence. lie pressed his claims on two grounds : First, because he was the only man who had edited a strictly straight out Radical paper in Georgia, Secondly, that if Swayze got the Postoffice it would enable him to publish’ his paper daily, which was very desirable for the interests of the party. Turn er, it seems had not dreamed of getting the office himself, up to this time. But circumstances alter cases. Now we come to the point— how Turner got the place. The appointment of the negro Sims, to the Postoffice at Savannah, and his subsequent ejection to make room for a white man, created a terrible stir in Yankee Doodledom —second only to that caused by the turuing tiie negroes out of the Leg islature. It was a gross piece of injustice to Sambo. It was Gen. Grant and bis Cabinet, doing just what the Legislature of Georgia had done, and for which it was urged she ought to be reconstructed ; Sum ner, Phillips, Beast Butler, et kl omne genus— ail raised s howl. Tbe pressure was at once brought to tieuron Gen. Grant and his Cabinet. They must at once make an appointment to conciliate these hosiers— these white skinned negro worshipers. It was determined that a prominent appointment in Georgia must be filled by a negro. The thought oc curred to Creswell to put Turner iu tbe Postotllce at Macon. Accordingly the appointment was made—and all the efforts Unit could be made failed to change the appoiu tux nt —and said my informant, when I asked if there was noway to avert such an outrage—“No, the C’abiuct have made the appoint ment to conciliate the ultru-Kepublicaiis and ne groes, and they will not go back on it” Now, Mr. Editor, yon will see iu what estimate white men iu tiie South are held at Washington. Eveu white Republican- of the most loyal kind, who have suffered terribly, (as they say,) for the cause, are ignored, and a negro put in one of the most prominent positions in the State. Yon will observe from this statement that Tur ner is not so much to blame as tiie wicked, plotting scoundrels at the North, who are coustaully devis iug means for our degradation, lie has only done wliat almost any one would have done, accrjMed « good J'at office. If lie is to blame at ail, it is lor at tempting to fill an office for which lie is so utterly incapable. 1 presume you will have trouble for a few weeks, until somebody gets in who understands the ropes. It is hard to advise what is best to be done. Ob * thing is certain, the powers at Washington have no sympathy for us, aud hence, however much trouble we may have, they will not repent of their purpose. Indeed, thev will rather enjoy our discomfiture, and say we deserve it, because we arc rebels, and set up ourselves as respectable people, and believe a white man is as good as a negro. I believe they would bear with Turner for six months, if neces sary, and would be utterly deaf to all onr com plaints of his incompetency. Would it not be well, in view of all these facts, to encourage some arrangement by wlWcb the com munity can t>e served in the I’ostofflce—even with Turner at the head of it. My word for it, this is our only chance for escape. And while I feel us great repugnance to Turner’s apiointment •« -ay man on earth—yet I think we, as sensible men, must not in a fight meet the fanatical crew where the odd# are again-t us, and sacrifice the commercial interests of our city, which are so intimately connected with postal service. 1 give no advice us to what course shall be pursued I only suggest that it would be wise for Uie business men of Macon to consider this question—which means more than at first appears. What shall be done to keep open channels of communication with the world outside of Macon ? Bibb. We expressed our opiuion ou the point sug gested iu the last paragraph of “Bibb’s’’ commu nication Saturday, uud if we said anything to-day would only reiterate it witli added emphasis. We shall be sorry, indeed, to see our people try to escape by auy such road. The Study of the Classics. Henry Cockburti, in his memoirs of his own times, very truly says of the study of Greek and Latin : “There is no solid and graceful foundation for boys’ minds like ‘classical’ learning grammati cally expressed and acquired ; and all tbe modem substitutes of what is called ‘useful knowledge’ breed little beyond conceit, vulgarity aitd general ignorance. It is not the mere acquaintance with two immortal languages that constitutes the value, though the value of this is incalculable, but the early discipline of the mind, by the necessary re ception of precise rules, of which the use and the reasonableness is in due time disclosed.” Tids testimony of the learned Scotchman is valuable in these days, when it is somewhat the fashion to decry classical learning.

Charleston, June 30. —Accounts from all quar ters represent the cotton crop, both uplands and Sea Island, as extremely promising. The appre hensions of the caterpillar for this season are now, to a great extent, dissipated. Weather intensely hot. New Orleans, June3o. lnvestigations by Col lector Casey, which have been in progress some time, resulted in the seizure, last evening, of four thousand four hundred and ninety boxes, one thousand three hundred and eighty-seven hogs heads, and seventy-nine tierces of sugar, belong ing to tiie importing house of Auguste Canturie & Cos., and placing under surveilauee theeutire stock of imported sugar in bond in this city, amounting to 17,060 boxes, 3,157 hogsheads, 133 tierces, and 259 barrels, all of which will be reweighed and re classified before permitted to be withdrawn from boud, with a view to the detection of further frauds which may have been committed. The in vestigations of tiie Revenue officers show that the importers used false invoices; that the sugar was classed too low, and weighers returned weights almost invariably lower than even the false in voices. Implicated in these frauds are a number of weighers, appraiseis, examiners and inspectors, appointed by Collector Casey. It is supposed, however, that similar frauds have been practiced for a long period. Suspicion was aroused by a diflerence in the weight of the packages, and the difference in the quality of the sugars from the same port—when Deputy Collector Herwig hud prepared an abstract giving a complete history of every package of sugar in bond, showing the uui form difference in weight, amounting to two hun dred and fifty pounds in each hogshead, and forty five pounds in each box, on fraudulent invoice. Several other importing houses are implicated, hut uo further frauds are definitely fixed.

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE IN FAVOR OF HOSTETTKR’S STOMACH BITTERS. W. H. Reese, a leading drnggist In Monticello, 11)., In a letter of June 6, 1888, write* to this ef fect: “Having sold Hostetler’s Bitters for the past four years, I cannot but speak of tbe article as being the best tonic and appetizer extant. Daring the ague season of 1*65—0,1 could not keep a sufficient stock on hand to supply my custom ers. In fact your Bitters was as staple as quinine. I learn that physicians prescribe it all over the Western country. Indeed, a great many families think they are not safe without /our Invaluable tonic.” J. K. Witherspoon, Esq., a magistrate of Ker shaw county, 8. C-, states, under date April 13 1808, that he has used the Bitters constantly In his own tamlly for the previous two years. He first tried the preparation when suffering from exhaustion produced by a severe attack of fever. Before the first bottle was finished he experi enced a remarkable change fjr the better. He had tried brandy at the outset, but found that did him more harm than good. In one month Irotn the time he commenced using the bitters hi* health, strength and appetite were restored. He had recommended the article to others in like circumstances, and never known it to fail, and had found it a perfect specific for chills and fever. Mr. Samuel Young, of Clarion, Pa., under date April 8, 1868, certifies that he was completely cured of “one of the most distressing attacks of dyspepsia that ever afflicted any mortal,” by three bottles of Bitters, after “various other rem edies had proved powerless.” Restored lo per fect health, he thanks “that excellent prepara tion tor the result.” Dr. G. M. Spencer, of Brush Creek, Perry Cos., Aia., writing thence Feb. 8,1868, says: “I have used your Stomach Eit:ers for several years In my practice, and find them superior to most of tbe Billers now prescribed by the profession gen» eraily.” HALF WAY UP LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, The place where memory is stirred by a thousand thrilling associations, and where the brave boys of both armies met and fought hand to hand, where the blood of both friend and foe was mingled together and ran down the mountain side in rivulets, is a smooth-faced rock, upon which a poor wounded soldier inscribed tbe lol lowing: •*S.
