Emmett Blackshear, P.\ D.’. Q.*. M. 1 ., etc., etc., to till the vacancy caused by the death of our worthy aud much be loved brother, Hiinri Hose, has met with such general approval, not only in our own jurisdiction, but throughout the Ma sonic world. Through* the press brother B. has received the most flattering and complimentary notices of his appoint ment, of which, as a specimen, we give the following from the Masonic Record, a first class monthly magazine, published in Nashville, Tenn.: “Grand Lodge of Georgia. — As our last form is going to press, we receive no tice of the appointment, by the M.\ W.\ Grand Master, of brother James Emmett Blackshear, M. D., as the Grand Becre tary of Georgia, to till the place left va cant by the decease of the lamented aud accomplished brother, Hiinri Rose, no ticed in our ‘Tidings.’ To us, the near neighbors of Georgia, the appointment is a very satisfactory one, aud we have uo doubt it will meet the hearty approbation of every brother iu Georgia. Brother Blackshear is a man of no ordinary ability, and a gentleman of the most win ning and courteous manners. His talents sre sufficiently shown in the high stand ing which he has obtaiued in his owu profession, while the time and diligent study he has betowed on the Masonic art are such as to entitle his opinion to that weight which his new position will de mand. Welcoming our brother to the number of Grand Secretaries, we feet assured that our association will be most pleasant and protitable, aud are gratified that the M.\ W.\ Grand Master has, on this occasion, made the same selection as we would have done in his place. We may take tiiii opportunity of informing brother Blackshear and the Masonic craft that, some weeks ago, we had selected him as the representative of Tennessee Graud Lodge in that of Georgia, and that his commission is now in the office, awaiting the signature of the Grand Master.” Brother Blackshear informs us that the commission referred to lias been received. From the numerous letters received, botli from individual brethren ami from lodges within this jurisdiction, he has kindly permitted us to give the following, being an extract from the minutes of one of the largest and most prosperous Lodges in the Htale: “We the W. M. Wardens and Brethren of Lodge, No. —, F.\ & A.\ M\, deeply deploring the hiss to the Fraternity by the deatli of our beloved Brother Bimri Hose, desire to express our great gratiiica tion at tiie able appointment our M. W. G. M. has made iu his stead.” Os tiie letters received from foreigu countries, lie has allowed us the privilege of publishing as a specimen, the following from the Graud Orient of France : “TO THE GLORY OK THE GRAND ARCHI TECT OF THE UNIVERSE.

Emmett Blackshear : The Graud Orient of France has learned with deepest sorrow the deatli of the illus trious Brother Hiinri Rose, who 4 has, for so many years and so eminently, tilled tiie office of Grand Hecretary of the Graud Lodge of Georgia. I am happy to learn that your distin guished qualifications have made you worthy to succeed that illustrious and la me u ted brother. Accent, dear Brother, the assurance of my fraternal regards.

Tiie very able Catholic organ iu New York city, The Freeman's Journal, iu its issue ot May 22i1, criticises, under the head of "Masonry,” Mgr. Begur’s work ou “Freemasons,” etc., translated from the French and published by P. Donahoe, Boston, and iu its usual caudor, worthy of our age aud country, says: "Wo regret, exceedingly, the republi u&Uou of this little tract. Its influence in this country is not for good. Mgr. Hegur has published some admirable little tracts, adapted to this country as well as to France. His tract ou Freemasonry may be adapted to France, Belgium, Hpaiu, Italy; but is of no fitness in Protestant countries of Europe, nor is it In these American Btates. “Also Mgr. Hegur has, we do not, doubt, good reasous for denouncing those French, Belgian, Italian, etc., Freemasons. Our Holy Father the Pope denounces them, also, iu the same terms, as foes, at once, of all Divine, and of all human Govern ments." Iu conclusion, the Jourual says: "Some of these Americans, never hav ing had experience of Masonry in Europe, are shocked at Catholic denunciation of Masonry. They unite iu saying that in this country, iu tiie highest a9 in the low est Masonic oaths, there is excepted : “Your duty to your religion and to your country.” It is evident that to American Masons there seeius, in the denunciations of the Catholic Church, something that is against fact! "Wedo not doubt it is correct in France, Italy, etc. We know it is against fact iu these States. Here Freemasous have been the best friends that Catholics have had, outside the Catholic communion. With a Freemason in this country, our standing argument is, what we would have for not eating with him a beef-steak on Friday— positive prohibition. This prohibition, we take care to say, we think well grounded, and one tiiat should be maintained, for the two reasons specified above. But it is due to truth to say tiiat tiie hostility of Masonry to religious aud civil order, ex isting in Europe, does not exist iu this eouutry.” It must be borne iu mind, however, that rven in tiie Latin countries, there are here and there a few Lodges of pure Free masons, and if the Catholic Church were to remove its restrictions aud permit its members to join them, they would soon supplant the spurious orders, and give morality a strong foot-hold against their wild agrarianism and other isms. >1 ABOMI IIIFVL OF LABOR. Few of us have considered how much our institution lias done to elevate the craftsmen, mechanics, and all laborers, and give them their rightful place in so ciety. The time is rapidly approaching when the Masonic ideal of justice and equality will he realized. Not the war riors, who have spread desolation and sor row through the earth, nor those whoowe their social rauk to accident of birth or wealth, hut those who have toiled usefully and endured patiently, are recognized to day as sovereigns of the moral world. They stimulate the thoughts, control the desires, and direct the ambitious and af fections of mankind. As the sweeping ages brush off the deceitful glitter of the conqueror's crown, it no longer fascinates the enslaved multitude. Already they begin to see who are the true heroes and real benefactors of their race. The armies of craftsmen and all laborers, exploring usefully their various callings, covered with the sweat and dust of pro ductive labor, are beginning to receive that reverence and respect to which they ar e entitled. Even in the earliest times this ideal of society, this system of social progress was revealed in the mystic cere monies of the Order. The initiate, passing through his various ordeals, was consid ered a type or represeutativeof the human race marching on ward through its various conditions to a high degree of social re- perfection and enlightenment. All the aucient rites shadowed forth a more perfect social state, where virtue, triurnphaut over vice, and truth, victori ous over error, would be installed on the throne of the world and direct all human ctivities and relations.

Tfce Democratic State Coot entlon—The Platform •a Adopted. The California Democratic State Con vention assembled in the Assembly Cham ber, Hacramento, June 29. J. P. Hoge, of Han Francisco, Chairman of the State Centra! Committee, presided, aud about three hundred delegates were in attend ance. The Committee on Platform and Resolutions reported the following, through C. T. Ryland, their Chairman, and the resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, upon the eve of a political canvass, the time-honored usages of our party require that a platform of principles be announced for the government oi those who may be elected to political office; and whereas, new questions have arisen since the meeting of the last Democratic Convention, making such action emi nently proper; therefore. Resolved, That the Democracy of Cali fornia now and always confide in the in telligence, patriotism and discriminating justice of the white people of the country to administer and coutrol their Govern ment witiiout the aid of either negroes or Chinese. Resolved, That the Democratic party view with alarm the action of an unscru pulous majority iu Congress in their at tempts to absorb the powers of the Execu tive and Judicial departments of the Federal Government, and to annihilate the rights and functions reserved to the State Government. Resolved, That the subjection of the white population of the Southern States to the rule of a mass of ignorant negroes, their disfranchisement, and the denial to them of all those sacred rights guaranteed to every freeman, is an outrage and a wrong for which the history of free Gov ernments in modern times may be search ed iu vain for a parallel. Resolved, That the Democratic party is opposed to the policy of lending the credit of the State and squandering the State property upon railway or other corpora tions, to the detriment of tiie public inter ests, and the overwhelming increase of the State debt and taxation. Resolved, That the Democratic party ever lias been, is now, and ever will be the champion of the rights of the me chanic and working man ; that all the re forms having tor their object the reduction of tiie hours of his labor, the enlargement of iiis privileges and the protection of his personal liberty, have ever been demand ed, enacted and enforced by tiie Democra cy ; that we point with pride to the fact that in California it was the Democratic element in the Legislature tiiat passed, and a Democratic Governor that approved, the eight hour law, and that we pledge ourselves to use our utmost exertions to carry the provisions of that law into full force and eit'eet.as well as to tabor iu other directions for the cause of the sons of toil. Resolved, That we are opposed to the adoption of the proposed Fifteenth Amendment of the United States Consti tution, believing tiie same to be designed and, if adopted, certaiu to degrade the right of sufl'rage; to ruin the laboring white man, by bringing untold hordes of Pagan slaves in all but name into direct competition with his efforts to earn a live lihood ; to build up an aristocratic class of oiigarctis iu our midst, created aud main tained iiv Chinese votes ; to give the negro and Chinaman the right to vote and hold office; and that its passage would be in imical to the best interests of our country; in direct opposition to tiie teachings of Washington, Adams, Jefferson and the other founders of tiie Republic; in fla grant violation of the plaiuest principles upon which the superstructure of our liberties was raised; subversive of the dearest rights of tiie different States, and a direct step toward anarchy aud its natu ral sequence, tiie erection of an empire upon die ruins of constitutional liberty. Resolved, That the Demoaracy of Cali fornia believe that tiie labor of our white population should uot be brought iuto competition with the labor of a class of inferior people, whose living costs com paratively nothing, and who add nothing to tiie wealth of our State, and who care and know nothing about our churches, siiools, societies, aud social aud political institutions. Resolved, That we arraign the Radical party for its profligacy, corruption and extravagance in public expenditures; for its tyranny, extortion and disfranchise ment; for its contempt of constitutional obligations; for placing the City of Wash ington in the hands of semi-civilized Africans; and we particularly coudemn the appointment of healthy aud able bodied negroes to office while the land is tilled with capable white citizens who are suffering for the cornmou necessaries of life. Resolved, That we heartily indorse aud approve of the manner in which the Dem ocracy have administered the State Gov ernment, and point with pride to the acts to protect the wages of labor, to lessen ihe public and official expenses, aud to the fact that during the present State Admin istration the State debt has been reduced nearly SIOOO,OOO, and taxation reduced from sl.lß on SIOO to 97 cents. —The Democratic State Convention of Ohio, organized in Columbus, aud pro ceeded to the nomination of State officers aud Judge of tiie Supreme Court. Gen eral W, S. Rosecraus, lately Minister to Mexico, was nominated for Governor. His opponent on the Republican side, the present incumbent, Rutherford B. Hayes, was elected iu 1867 by a majority count ing up nearly three thousand. The Domicil Erected by John. The following learned version of a famous Eng lish classic was spoken on Friday evening last, at the Philomathcan Exhibition, Wesleyan Female College, by Miss Leila Ross: Behold the Mansion reared by daedal Jack. See the malt stored in many a plethoric sack, In the proud cirque of Ivan’s bivouac. Mark how the rat’s felonious fangs invade The golden stores in John’s pavilion laid. Anon with velvet foot and Tarquin strides, Subtile Grimalkin to his quarry glides ; Grimalkin grim, that slew the tierce rodent, Whose tooth insidious, Johann’s sackcloth rent! Lo ! now the deep mouthed canine foe’s assault, That vexed the avenger of the stolen malt, Stored in the hallowed preciuets of that hall That rose complete at Jack’s creative call. Here stalks the impetuous cow with crumpled horn, W hereon the exacerbating hound was torn, Who bayed the feline slaughter beast that slew The nit predaceous, whose keen fangs run through The textile fibres that-involved the grain That lay in Hans’ inviolate domain. Here walks the forlorn damsel crowned with rue, Lactiferous spoils from vaccine dugs who drew, Os that eorniculate beast whose tortuous horn, Tossed to the clouds in tierce, vindictive scorn. The braying hound, whose braggart bark and stir, Arched the lithe spine and reared the indignant fur Os puss, that with verminicidal claw, Struck the weird rat, iu whose insatiate maw Lay recking malt, that erst in Juan’s courts we saw. Robed in senescent garb, that seems, iu sooth, Too long a prey to C'hrouo’s iron tooth, Behold the mail whose amorous lips incline, Full of young Eros’ osculative sign, To the lorn maideu, whose lact albic hands, Drew nlbulaetie wealth from lacteal glands, Os that immortal bovine, by whose horn Distort, to realms ethereal was borne, The beast eatulean, vexer of that sly I’lysse quadrupedal, who made die The old inordacious rat, that dared devour Antecedaueous ale in John’s domestic bower. Lo here, with hirsute houors doffed, sueciuct Os saponaceous locks, the, priest who liuked In Hymen’s golden bauds the thorn unthrift 'Vhose means exiguous stared from many a rift, Even as he kissed the virgin all forlorn. Who milked the cow with implicated horn, Who in fierce wrath the canine torturer skied, That dared to vex the insidious muricide, Who let auroral effluence through the pelt Os that sly rat that robbed the palace Jack had built The loud, cantankerous Shanghai comes at last, Whose shouts aroused the shorn eeclesiast. Who sealed the vows of Hymen’s sacrament To him who robed in garments indigeut. Ex osculates the damsel lachrymose. The emulgator of the horned brute morose, That tossed the dog, that worried the cat, that kilt The rat that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built. Call for a Farmers Club.

It Will Not Do. —lt is given out that, according to the interpretation of General Can by of the reconstruction test oath of Congress, lees than a quorum of the mem bers just elected to the Virginia Legisla ture will be qualified to take their seats; and that if Attorney General Hoar shall give an opinion sustaining General Can by there will probably have to be anew election. This dodge will not do; for we have no doubt that General Grant will consider the late Virginia election suffi ciently conclusive to let it stand, Legisla ture and ail.— New York Herald. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. GENERAL NEWS. M ashinqtos, July s. —Cubans here have the following: Spanish troops attacked Jordan near Holguin. After eight hours’ light the Spaniards were repulsed and compelled to take refuge in the town. Cuban loss, two hundred killed and wound ed, including twenty Americans. Spanish forces consisted of two brigades, outnumbering the Cu bans two to one. Cuban advices report that the instructions of De Rodas are to carry out the policy of Dulce— that of conciliation and positively to control the volunteer organizations, and maintain the suprema cy of Spain, and that orders have been issued to prevent the committing of euch atrocities as were recently committed by Gen. Lesca in Cinco Villas district. The effect of this policy upon the volun teers has been to produce dissensions throughout the entire organization. Volunteers who have given adhesion to De Rodas’ administration by the surrender of the central ports, arsenals and other important positions, are denounced as traitors. The Executive lias important news from Cuba, but the character has uot transpired. \S ashington, July 6.—Revenue to-day one mil lion and three quarters. Presberry represenU the crop prospects of the state, and of the entire South, better than for the past ten years. The tobacco crop in particular is most abundant. The wheat harvest has exceeded the utmost expectations of the farmers. Major Wofford states that Judge Dent consents to run for Governor of Mississippi on the Conser vative Republican ticket. Supervisor Presberry, of Virginia, gives favora ble accounts of revenue matters in his district. He says more money was collected during the four months of tills administration than for the whole preceding year. Atlanta, July s.—Several days since Capt Tim Murphy, special a.tu.t:.v, aucaiea two women, who had In their possession a portion of a large sum of United States currency stolen from the Treasury Department at Washington. Forged signatures were signed to the Treasury notes, and large amounts passed in Augusta. These women implicate H. M. Turner, the recently appointed negro postmaster at Macon, Ga. Turner was ar rested yesterday by the United States Marshal and brought to Atlanta. Atlanta, July 6.—Turner was released by the United States Marshal last night, and returned to Macon. The women having iu their possession the stolen United States Trea-ury notes were released on giving five hundred dollars bond, after a private consultation between the United States Marshal and some lawyers. The whole aflair will be ex posed in a few days, and the guilty parties brought to trial. Richmond, July 7. —The State, according to the latest returns to-night, lias gone by nearly forty thousand for Walker, and there is a Walker ma jority of fifty on joint ballot in the Legislature. The Walker people elect all the Congressmen, ex cept three, who are Platte, Porter aud Norton, colored. This complete disaster to the Wells ticket results from, first, the unreliability of the negro vote, which in the country districts has gone largely for Walker, and second, because of the failure of their calculations in some of the counties bordering on Tennessee and North Carolina, where the white votes for that ticket were chiefly expected. In that quarter, counties that were ex pected to give Wells five hundred majority wen*- against him by one thousand. The Walker State Executive Committee telegraphed President Grant this morning, congratulating him on the triumph of liia policy in Virginia, aud thanking him for his liberality. Several Walker colored men have been elected to the Legislature. Washington, July 7.—The Government is wait ing for the full correspondence which called forth Canby’s letter declaring that members of the Vir ginia Legislature must take the irou-elad oath when they are received. The whole matter will be referred to Hoar for opinion, when the Cabinet will decide. An impression prevails tiiat members elected will be seated without Federal interference. Grant has arranged his summer excursion so as to be within easy reach of the capital, aud will at no time be absent over two weeks. Sickles’ instructions contain nothing whatever relative to the purchase of Cuba. One best quali fied to speak for the Government says: “The Go vernment is not in the real estate business just now.” The Government expenditures for June, areas follows : Miscellaneous, nearly four millions ; War, five and a quarter millions; Navy, over two and a half millious; Interior, two millions. The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the Assistant Treasurer at New York to purchase three million United States bonds on Friday, to be held subject to the future direction of Congress. Special Revenue Agent, Kiusella, has arrived and is busy completing his report. It is understood that the report seriously implicates parties of high standing in New Orleans, and former Custom house officers. Neither Kellogg nor Stockdale is implicated. Kinsella’s investigation did not ex tend to their term. The currency balance in the Treasury lias been reduced six millions since the first of July, by withdrawal for the purchase of bonds, and two and half millions to-day for the use of the army. New Okleans, July 7.—A large quantity of seized sugars of Auguste Coutourie & Cos., have been claimed by the Havana firm of Plassan, Aviles Cos. Coutourie & Cos. have suspended payment. Besides the sugar belonging to the latter firm, there is under surveillance a large quantity of molasses and liquors. Heavy orders for Nos. 1 and 3 wheat are being received from France —more than can be tilled here. Orders for a hundred thousand bushels of No. 1 have been received within a few days. St. Louis, July 7.—Dispatches from Salt Lake, Omaha aud other points, report ihe Indians turbu lent. Richmond, Va., July B.—Gilbert C. Walker ar rived at one o’clock this morning from Norfolk. The day was made a holiday for his reception, and when the cars arrived, about live thousand people had congregated at the depot. A committee, com posed about equally of the most proiniuent white and colored citizens, was at the cars to receive him, but the populace rushed in, and seizing Walker, bore him on their shoulders to a coach prepared to receive him, aud ornamented with National and State flags. The procession, which was nearly a mile long, marched through the prin cipal streets. Many of the coaches, of which there were a hundred in line, were covered with national flags, and on the band wagon was a transparency with a painting of the white and colored man shakiug hands. The streets were blocked with people following the procession, aud at least tweu .ty thousand were out. On reaching the house of Col. James R. Branch, the Conservative candidate killed by the calamity on Friday last, the procession passed in silence, aud with uncovered heads. Upon reaching the hotel, Walker appeared between the National and State flags, held by representatives of the two races, and after a few minutes of deafening cheers, made a brief speech. After congratulating the C onservative party on the complete victory achieved, he went on to say that in this moment of triumph they must not forget charity for the defeated. They must remember that the votes cast against the ticket were given by deluded and ignorant men of a race that had not yet had time to be educated sufficiently to kuow the wrong of disfranchising others. We must remember that we have succeeded on the platform of universal suffrage and equal rights, and we must see that those who opposed us, as well as those who sup ported us, have all their rights, and are protected fully by the law, aud with the law, and under the law. [Loud cheers.J They must be educated and taught the value of the great boon of franchise that has been conferred upon them, aud the true value of being a citizen. We must not forget that the opportunity of winning this victory was given us through the liberality of President Grant. [Loud and continued cheering.] After a jocular allusion to the grief of the present State office-holders of the Wells party, the speaker concluded by a cheerful picture of the future prosperity of the State. Three cheers were given for Grant at the close. Walker was followed by Isaac Hunter, colored, and several white speakers. The election returns to-day contiuue to be more and more favorable to Walker. The returns this morning show that the Walker men will have a majority of sixty on joiut ballot in the Legislature. Richmond, July 8. —Additional returns received to night show that Walker’s majority will proba bly be fifty thousand. Iu many of the white coun ties, West of the mountains,"where Walker gets three or four hundred, Wells only gets three or four votes. Gen. Canby, in a conversation to-day with a Re publican member elect of the Legislature, Slid he was much pleased at the good order exhibited In the election, and that he thought from the reports of his officers, it had been, as'far as heard from, as fair as could be held in any State of the Union. Washington, J uly B. —Commodore Poore suc ceeds Hoff in the command of the West India squadron. It is understood his instructions indi cate prompt protection to American citizens and shipping. The Chronicle, in a bitter article on the Virginia election, says: “But all is not lost in Virginia. Congress holds the key of the citadel. The rebel Democrats may boast that they have elected their candidate, but'there is an ultimate remedy.” There are indications of cross purposes between the Administration and Boutweil since the Vir ginia election. New York, July B.—There is much excitement over the fact that a large number of brokers are before the Grand Jury, iu regard to violations of the usury laws. Wm. 11. Sanford, Cashier of the National Bank, decamped, being a defaulter in the sum of one hundred thousaud dollars. The cause is said to be unfortunate gold speculations. The defaulter leaves a destitute wife aud children. His character for years has been unimpeachable. A circular from the bank states that business will proceed as usual. Savannah. July B.—The Governor has com muted the sentence of the negro murderers of Breckman and Brodbaeker, two German gardeners near this city, sentenced to be hung the 16th of June, to oue year’s imprisonment The people are very indignaut at this gross outrage. The report of customs shows the total value of exports from this port, for the year ending June 30th, to be nearly $49,000,000. Fortress Monroe, July 8. —The fever on board Le Curieux is unabated—one of the crew died yes terday. Columbus, July S.—The Democrats have nomi nated Rosecranz for Governor. Washington, July 9.—Grant has expressed to several gentlemen satisfaction with the result, aud gratification with the peacefulness, of the Virginia election. The proclamation for Mississippi and Texas elections was expected to-day. It is said that Ames and Reynolds will be instructed against partiality towards either party in the preliminaries to elections, Georgians here are urging an establishment, par tially to be supported by the Government, as an asylum for aged and infirm negroes in that Slate. It is stated that Howard supports the scheme. GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER. The Cubans here are merry over a reported cap ture of their powder mill at Nagua: the patriots, thy say, have no powder mill. The Secretary of War, to-day, issued an order transferring the laboratory buildings to the Georgia State Agricultural Society, to hold until the Ist January. Motley has neither made nor received proposi tions regarding the Alabama claims. Wofford and Jenks, of Mississippi, visited the President to-day. They have assurances of strict impartiality in the approaching contest, so far as the administration is concerned, and have assur ances that the commanding Generals will be re strained from any show of partiality. A free, un biased contest, free from violence and ruffianism, is all the administration requires. It will only in terfere in behalf of peace. The Cuban partisans Lave the following : Ad vices have been received in this city from Neuvitas and Puerto Principe to the 27th, and from Puerto del Padre and Los Tunis to the 36th. There has been no movement of a decided character in either district. The Spaniards have been reinforced at Neuvitas and are thus enabled to retain possession of the railroad from that city to Puerto Principe, and give succor to the garrison of the latter named city, which is threatened by the Cabans under Gen. Quesada. In the Puerto del Padre district there has been several skirmishes. The health of the Cuban army is reported to be very good, aud that it is rapidly increasing in numbers and effect iveness. There is great anxiety to know the views of the United States Government, and the position it will occupy in the contest The Navy Department has advices that Lnperon with his gunboat Telegrafo, is molesting American vessels in the Carribeau Sea. Grant thinks that Mississippi and Texas will fol low Virginia’s lead. Washington, July 9. —The election in Missis sippi will probably not occur until the fourth Tues day in November. This will throw the election after those of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Nothing definite has transpired regarding the Texas election, but it is thought it will be equally remote. The Cabinet session lasted until 3 o’clock —dis- cussion spirited. Bontwell’s views, favoring ex treme measures regarding the partial retention of disfranchisement and the policy of delay until after the important Northern elections, prevailed. The friends of Hamilton are indignant at the proposed delay in regard to Texas, whieta will keep tiiat State, as well as Mississippi, out of the Union un til late in the year. New Orleans, July 10. —Marshal Packard, yes terday, on order from the United States Court, seized the books of Auguste Couturie.J* C'q., which he examined bv evt—- to.—-— if frauds In seized sugars. A dispatch from Houston, Texas, reports an nfi precedented flood in the Colorado valley, Texas. The telegraph lines have been down west of La Grange for five days, and we can hear nothing from beyond. The water spreads all over the country—some places twenty feet deep, and rising rapidly. La Grange is being evacuated ; Columbus is also being deserted—the women and children have mostly gone. Houses are seen floating past La Grange. The water is up to the tops of the trees in the bottoms. The trestle work approach ing the railroad bridge near Columbus is gone, and the heavy rise not yet reachedjthere Most of the line crops in the valley destroyed. Later. —Further telegrams confirm the account of the great floods hi the Colorado Valley, Texas, The water is ten feet deep in the Court House square at LaGrange. It is estimated that twenty live houses have been seen passing down the •stream. The river is still rising. Staging has been stopped for four days. The town of Colum bus is entirely surrounded by water. The Brazos river is also very full, and rising at the rate of four inches per hour. New York, July 10. —The Heury“Chauncey brings Aspinwall dates to the 3d. The yellow fever is subsiding in Peru. It is stated that the claims of France aud Italy against Nicaragua are amicably adjusted. Washington, July 11. —The Tallapoosa has re turned from Cuban waters without yellow fever. Vigorous efforts are progressing to secure an ear lier election for Mississippi than was determined upon by Friday’s Cabinet, with some probability of success. Washington, July 11.— Governor Pease, of Texas, is here in the interest of the Conservative Republicans. Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania, President of the Graud Council Union League, promises material aid to the Texas Radical Repub licans. Several speakers will canvass the State, after the sickly season, in the interior. Governor Walker, of Virginia, had a long, satis factory interview with Grant this morning. Judge Chase lias ordered the hearing of the ap plication for habeas corpus in the Yerger case now under trial in Mississippi, by Military Commis sion, for the killing of Col. Crane, at 11 o’clock Wednesday, and has ordered notice to be served upon the Attorney General. Judge Chase, it ap pears, has no discretion in the matter. The first point argued, will be the jurisdiction. Tiiat de cided atlirinatively, the merits of the Military Commission will be argued, because the Judge wifi not grant the habeas corpus unless the facts al leged iu the petition would enable him to dis charge the prisoner—in other words, Judge Chase will not have the prisoner brought from Mississip pi only to recommit him to the custody of the Commission. In this branch of the case, the re cent opinion of Attorney Geueral Hoar, in the Weaver case, comes up for review, adjudication and discussion, as to the constitutionality of that part of the reconstruction act authorizing military trials in the present condition of the country. Judge Lewis Dent writes a letter, addressed to J. L. Wofford and A. L. Jenks, responding to a letter tendering Dent the nomination of the Con servative Republican party of Mississippi for Gov ernor, wherein Dent says if he can be in the least instrumental in restoring the State of his adoption to her normal place in the Union, and securing to her a good local administration, they have his per mission to nse his name for any position within the gift of the National Union Republican party of their State.

Robeson, responding to New Jersey friends, said, regarding Grant’s Administration : “As the policy by which rebellion was finally subdued was a policy of action rather than profession, so the policy of the present Administration under Grant must be judged by its fruits. Witt no startling announcements, with no professions of splendid policy, the Administration of General Grant en deavors quietly, persistently and honestly to per form each day the duties which each day finds before it.” Richmond, July 12. —Official election returns so far, show that the blacks voted closer to their reg istered strength than the whites did. The less in telligent blacks, who had been under the belief during the canvass that if the Walker ticket suc ceeded their rights would be taken away from them, and who were assured by Welles in a speech the day before the election that a victory for IV alker would be no victory, as the election would have to be held over again, are not generally disposed to accept the situation.

No other news could have caused such a feeliug of des pondency. One of the writers says: “It came like the news of the death of vour near est and best fyend—your only friend. The feeling of all seemed to be that we were alone aud must expect no assistance. However, all seeiug that it is now liberty or death—for no mercy can be ex pected from the Spaniards—we will fight as only men driven to such desparation can fight” TcTfiave losf' \ wo*h!Hls dred troops by desertion to Quesada.

Bass, on the evening of the Bth instant, Mr. JAMES W HANCOCK .and Miss u. <»s, ~otn ot Ulbb county, Ga. On the Bth July, in Bilib county, by Rev. J. Blakely Smith, ALEXANDER S.' McGREGOR and Miss FRANCES D. JONES. IN ME MORI AM, Died, on the 18th ultimo, at the residence of Mr. A. H. Moore,* of Twiggs county, (J*., of Typhoid Dysentery, in the 25tn year of her age. Miss MARY s. W., youngest daughter of the late Wtl liam Killpatrick, ot Jefferson county, and his relict—now Mrs. 8. A. E. Stevens. "Death lies on her like an untimely frost. Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.’’ How sad. how melancholy to the living is a loss in death, and when the victim is one so dear and universally beloved, as the subject of tills "Me moir,'' the affliction is seemingly too calamitous, too doleful to realize. It is true that "in the midst of life we are in death,” yet how unprepared were we for this last, almost inconsolable bereavement? For— “Oh! What a shadow o’er t’ae heart is flung. When peals the requiem of the lov’d and young.” Mollie was born'in Jefferson county on the 3d day of March, 1844. At a very early age she bo came a member of the M. E. Church ; and from her first professions of the faith, up to her last hour on earth, she was truly an exemplary Chris tian. Her whole aim, as was illustrated by her every actof life, was to s-rve her Holy Father. The white robe of Innocence aud puiity. which angel hands hung upon her cradle at the hour of her birth, was worn through all the trials aud temptations of life, and in the happy end was meesly folded as spotless, as bright and perfect as when new, to be borne away In Joyful triumph to Him who sent it. She lived as lives a peaceful dove, She died as blossoms die; Aud now her spirit floats above, A seraph in the sky ! The writer of this solemn and lugubrious arti cle was intimately acquainted, aud associated much with the lamented deceased, from the lime her step-father settled in this county, which was in the fall of 1859, up to her untimely departure from among us, and he must trututully say, that never to his knowledge did a human being come nearer to perfection than wan she. To jipeak the idle words ot praise, to express her rnauy virtues, to tell her true worth, is too great a folly to at temof, since no pen. no language can give her all she deserves. While she lived no lips e’er parted to speak of tier but In wards of praise, to express the highest feelings of admiration. Every one who knew her felt that— She was too pure to be on earth, And were uneasy every day Lest we’d be envied her great worth, And angels would come seal her away. And she has been stolen, to be "nestled in the bosom of Jesus.” Asa daughter, Mollie was dutiful, obedient, and most remark'bly affectionate. Asa sister, loving, aud though ful of the futuie welfare of her younger half-brothers and sisters, whom she tutored with all the anxious care of a good moth er. Their loss is Irreparable, for in this life, in deed, they’ll never find another “Sister Mollie ” Asa friend. Mollie was devoted aud true, cling ing with the strongest attachment of iieart to the object of her confidence. Asa woman, she was a model of purity and virtue, setting an example ennobling to all her sex, and worthy the notice and imitation of the best aud most perfect of all earth. During her illness, which lasted for two weeks, she suffered much indeed, tut bore her affliction wiih a calm and most Christian like resignation. She developed, by her words and actions, the fact that she was willing to die. That she would he happy beyond the grave. She often called the dear ones of her heart (the members of the af flicted famllvl aroii nrt hm- dying c—i to t»u tii<-<» the glories of a Chrlsttau’s destination. She salmly talked of the pangs of the separation, but consoled them by saying. "I’m going to Heaven, and you will soon lollow me to tiiat blessed place.” “I’ve made my peace with tjod.” “I’d rather die than live.” In the last hour she re qutsted them her last Hosauna(wilh mortal’s voice) to her Saviour and King.” She exhorted them to walk in the light of God's Holy Word, tiiat llieir end might he like unto hers. And thus she concluded life— "A gentle breath from Heiven came And swept away a happy soul.” Mother and father, brothers and sisters, and friends weep not, but rather rrjoice that it was her glorious lot to be thus taken. It*** ♦The deceased was on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Burkett, when she died. Her brother-in-law, Mr. Burkett, and Mr. Moore are living together this year. Being both interested in the one farm. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.: Patkick Henry Lodge, No. 173, F. A. M.,1 Drayton, Ga., July 3,1869. / At a regular communication of this Lodge, the following preamble and resolutions were unani mously adopted: Whereas It hath pleased 1 lie Supreme Archi tect of the Universe to take from our midst, by a sudden dispensation,our lateßrolher. WILLIAM J. BASON, and wlille we submit with becoming resignation to the inset utable will of that "Di vine Master Builder,” who best knows when to call ns from the labors of this earth to the re freshments of a Celestial Lodge.it still behooves us, as members of one common fraternity, to pay a decent and becoming respect 10 the virtues of him whose loss we are compelled to deplore. He has gone, like the autumn leaf, to enrich our mother earth. Death das entered our ranks, thereby weakening the chain by which we are united man to man. His many virtues and lof y qualities of integrity and uprightness won tor him universal esteem and confidence; and whose practical illustrations of ihe true principles of Masonry ever distinguished him as a member of our Order. This sad affliction is one well befit ting our personal examination and serious thought, that we, too, must soon die. And in this sudden dispensation of Divine Providence, we have a re iteration of the warning ol our Saviour: “Be ye also really, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.” Be it Resolved, That in the death of Brother Wm. J. Bason, Ihe cause of humanity has lost one of its strongest friends: our country one ot its most enterprising and useful citizens: and Free Ma sonry one of its brightest ernaments. We bow with submission to the decree of Omnipotence which has called him hence. We sincerely and deeply deplore the loss of a warm-hearted friend and a true and faithfnl brother. Resolved, Tiiat a copy of these resolutions, at tested by the Worshipful Master and Secretary of tbe Lodge.be conveyed to the widow of the deceased, with the assurance < f our deep sym pathy with her in her melancholy bereavement and irreparable loss.

Hunt A Co.’s. and by druggists generally 1 SUMMER PERILS-HOW TO ESCAPE THEM. It will not do to trifi * with the health In bot weather. Vigor oczes through the skin at every pore, and it is by physical vigor only that un healthy influences can be baffled and repelled. The vital elements are evaporated In perspira tion. Intense heat converts a man into a self acting pump, aud the moisture that is pumped out of him is derived from the well-springs of life within him. There is great need, therefore, that these sources ot physical strength should be In a condition to bear, without danger or Incon venience, ihe extraordinary dialn. It they are not in such a condition, the individual becomes languid and low-spirited. The main thing is to keep the digestive appa ratus in good working trim ; tor If the stomach, llie purveyor of the system, does it* duty thor oughly, the liver, the bowels, the brain, and the nervous system, beiug duly nurtured, will be likely to do theirs. In view of thess facta, It is manifest that a powerful and wholesome vegeta ble tonic like HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT TERS is especially required aj this enfeebling season. It ts the most admirable of all correct ives and tnvlgo rants, and for this reason; it does not over-sttmnla e the system The proportions of aperient, tonic and stimulating components are so judiciously graduated, that the prooessea of Invigoratiou and purification go on simulta neously, and no undue excitement is created in the circulation or the brain. All unmedicated stimulauts, however pure, excite the pnlse and the nervous system. Thetr exhilarating effect is temp irary. and when it passes off, the physical and mental depression they were employed to remove returns In au aggravated form. But this is not the case when HOSTETTER'B BITTERS are taken as a stomachic and nervine. The medicinal herbs, roots aud gums with which they are lmpreguated. neutralize the exciting principle of the rye spirit which forms their basis, and which is in itselt the most wholesome of all the varieties of alcohol.
