Tlie Herald on General Johnston.
The New York Herald saw the idle story
that Gen. Johnston had been appointed
commander-in-chief of the army of the
Khedive of Egypt, and took the opportu
nity to say the following of him:
It is reoorted that General Joseph E
Johnston, the distinguished Confederate
commander has accepted the position of
commander-in-chief of the Egyptian army;
that he will receive a bonus of one hundred
thousand dollars and an annual salary of
twenty-live thousand dollars, and that he
now accepts the post after repeatedly re
fusing it. If this report bj true, the Khe
dive has secured the services of a most ac
complished and capable soldier, and if
victory should not favor his colors in the
wars he has to apprehend, it will not be for
the want of military talent in his com
mander. General Johnston is not only the
ablest living soldier produced on the
Southern side in our g. eat w ar, but, in the
opinion of persons who have closely
studied the conflict, he is the ablest soldier
thatappared on the scene, from first to
)ast,|in support or the Southern cause. * '
With the many admirers of Johnston’s
talents as a soldier, his character also
stands high, because he fought, as he un
dei stood it, for his country and freedom.
Different views may be taken now, as he
seems to become a mere soldier of fortune
in an Oriental service; but against the am
tique prejudice on this point it tends to be
come more and more recognized that war
is an inevitable fact in the progress of na
tions from old to new conditions, and that
it is one of the more humane economies
to have it conducted on scientific princi
ples. There will, moreover, be no wars
there but such as his friends might envy
Gen. Johnston the chance to assist in; for
the Khedive w T ill do no fighting'of conse
quence till he is compelled to defend
against Turkey his own declaration of in
dependence.
Death of the Tennessee Giant.
Mb. Sucshejr, probably the largest man
Tennessee ever produced, died last Friday
evening, about one mile from Greeneville.
Air. Slusher was only nineteen years old,
and when young had a very severe attack
of rheumatism, which drew him out of
shape. H Mr. Slusher had not been crip
pled he would have been nine feet high.—
Ilis boot was eighteen inches long and one
of his hands was about the size of four or
dinary ones. He could sit on a chair and
pick up anything three feet from him. His
head would measure about fourteen inches
around. He measured seven and a half
feet around the chest.
The coffin containing the remains was
eight and a half feet long, twenty-eight
inches wide, and two and a half feet deep.
He was buried at Alt. Bethel last Saturday.
—[American.
The fact is— and it would be criminal to
conceal the truth— there is in the South, a
well-concerted plan, now being put into
operation, to d-fy the laws of the United
States, which have been enacted to secure
the rights of all citizens, and that organi
zation is as perfect, and as completely pre
pared for action, as were their armies iD
the field during the war. The worst ele
ments of society have,been [tutored to the
commission of violence and murder, that
those who attempted to destroy the nation
al unity may be again restored to power,
and thus placed in a position where, ac
cording to the forms of law, they can carry
out their nefarious projects.— Washington
Chronicle.
Northern people are stuffed with such
trash as this every day by Grant's organ
grinder. Day alter day it is crammed with
these barefaced, out-and-out lies. They
are uttered by a scoundrel born, a mean
man at heart, who has no other employ
ment than that of defaming and villifying
the Southern people. But the Northern peo
ple have learned to pay no attention to the
poor, miserable wretch. He is hired to
lie. He gets his bread and meat by telling
lies. He would be discharged for telling
the troth. He is now under contract to
keep the Republican party in power by ly
ing about the Southern people. It is all he
has to g > upon. When his stock of lies
will no longer pass current with Northern
voters, he that day becomes a bankrupt.
He hardly opens his mouth about the South
without uttering a lie. Desperate indeed
must be the fortunes of a party which is
reduced to such straits.
The Condition of Joseph Chews.— We
have been informed that there is very little
hopes entertained for the recovery of Air.
Chews. He is paralyzed from the navel
down, and all natural channels in that por
tion of the body paralyzed are operated by
artificial means. How long he may linger
in that condition remains to be seen. All
that medical science can do has been done
for him up to the present time. Air.
Charles Bollin, who was wounded at the
same time, reached this city yesterday af
ternoon. His wound is still painful. The
scene of the assassination was near Mc-
Cov’s branch. The buggy had just crossed
it when the shots were Hred in quick suc
ce sion from the thick bushes on the left of
the road. Crews was driving on the right
hand seat. The assassins, it is thought,
expected the buggy to stop while the horse
was watered, when the deed was to bo done,
but Air. < bews did not stop, and, there
fore, it was necessary to place Air. Bollin s
life in peril to reach Crews.—[Union-Her
ald. _
Dr. Tallev Thinks Joe Crews’ Case a
Desperate One.
A reliable gentleman who left Laurens
Court House about 4 o’clock Friday even
ing, informed us yesterday that Dr. Tal
ley, of Columbia, had thoroughly examin
ed the gun-shot wound of Joe Crews, and
had given it as his opinion that his case is
a very desperate one, and that he had little
or no hope of his recovery. It was under
stood that Dr. Dunklin and other local
physicians coincided in this view of the
ease.
Air, Crews was notlapparently suffering
acute pain, but the paralysis of his lower
extremities continues unabated, [Green
ville News.
And the Worst of All is Ingratitude.
D. O. Alills, the man who demanded that
Ralston should resign, and whose clandes
tine interviews with the newspapers seem
to have hastened the collapse and Ral
ston’s death, owes his fortune to the dead
banker. He was taken by Ralston out of
an up-country store and made President of
the Bank of California. He was then poor
and unknown; he now has an income of
eight hundred dollars a day. It is said that
there is no better way to make a man
your enemy than to place him under obli
gations to you, and Mills seems to have
proved the truth of the apothegm.
The penalty for dueling in Jlflinois is a
long term in the penitentiary. Governor
Beveridge is moving actively to procure
the trial of the two St. Louis editors, and,
in case of conviction, how would this look
on the books at Joliet: “Foster and Ed
wards—ten years each.’’ They hanged a
man in Illinois once for killing his antago
nist in a duel.
Fully 250,000 head of cattle being driven
to market have crossed the Colorado river
at and near Austin the present season.
Average these cattle at S2O per head, and it
will give the neat sum of $5,000,000, very
nearly all of which will come back into the
State as profits to the drover—[Houston

GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
Dr. T. D. Worrall, agent of the Missis
sippi Trading Company, will address the
people of Alacon on Thursday evening next
the 16th instant.
The Governor has issued his proclama
tion. announcing that the local option
liquor law will take effect in Adairsville on
and after the 6th of November.
Columbus had plenty of rain on Friday
last. Also, a fight on Saturday between
Singer and Wheeler & Wilson, wherein
Singer was kndfbed head over heels and
sawed up—skull said to be fractured—but
still walking about and not muc h hurt
which shows that the Singer is made to
stand abase.
The Americus R publicam learns that on
r riday last a colored preacher went to a
preacher in that city to borrow his pistol,
and stated that he was going to camp meet
ing on Sunday, and as he didn’t know what
would happen he wanted to take i pistol
along. The minister replied, he couldn’t
tell what would happen at home, and could
not let his pistol go.
Ex-President Davis was invited to be
present at the South Georgia Fair. He re
plied: “it would give me sincere
pleasure to visit the people of Southern
Georgia, uhd to be the guest of one Who
has that which has been called our ‘ Badge
of Honor,’ but I regret to say tha, at the
date of your meeting, business, which I
cannot neglect, will require me to be in
Mississippi.”
Thomasvlle Times'. We stop our press,
and with a heart filled with grief, announce
the death of our old leader, General John
C. Vaughn. He died at his home in Brooks
county, 10th instant. No particulars. The
noble, chivalrous spirit has taken its flight.
Tennessee, Georgia, the States of his
adoption, and the hundreds of those who
followed him through the bloody carnage
of the late war will long and deeply mourn
his loss. Alay God ever shield his wife and
little ones thus suddenly bereaved.
Columbus Times: An old belled co w wan
dered from her grazing grounds in Ala
bama into the city yesterday. As soon as
she entered Broad street, she. looked around
for some minutes and then struck a trot
for Dr. Jordan’s drug store. The way was
speedily cleared, and in she went. Alter
much persuasion she left. No dama 'e was
done. The gentlemen in the neighborhood
of the store hafe tried to fathom the cause
for such conduct on the part of the cow.
One gentleman, who knows, says the cow
was on the hunt for Jordan’s Joyous Julep.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston has returned to
his home In Savannah. The Advertiser says
that he received, about six years ago, an
offer from the Khedive, and “of course it
was not accepted.’’ He has received no
other offer from the Khedive, and uoes not
expect or want ono. in other words, he
sensibly propoeses to spend his days among
people who respect him living, and will
honor his memory when he is gone. We
wonder when the Atlanta Herald will start
another humbug, and what it will be ? * *
Since the completion of the water works
Atlanta seriously contemplates making
that city Ihe final western terminus of the
Alississippi Valley Transportation Com
pany. The arrival there of the first live

In speaking of the death of Miss Anna
Burnett, the Columgus Times says : This
lady died yesterday morning at 7 o’clock,
at the residence of her brother-in-la w, Mr.
li. It. Goetchius, of this city. H r disease
was consumption, from which she ha.s been
a sufferer for many months. For sometime
prior to February of this year she r esided
in CJarkesville, Tenn., being connected with
the CJarkesville Female < ollege, of which
liev. James Wright, former y of Columbus,
is Pre ideut. The rigors of a Tennessee
inter proving too severe for her lungs,
he was forced to seek a milder ciimaie,
and accordingly returned to Columbus
early in the present year. After her -eturfi
the dread disease which had marked her
lor its victim worked rapidly and fatally.
The climax was reached yesterday, and
her life went out. i lie deceased was a de
vout member of the Methodist Church. The
news of her death will bring pain to many
hearts, for she was widely known and
much loved.
Afy Neighbor’s Baby.
Aero-sin my neighbor’s window,
With its drapings and satin and laee,
I see, ’neath it- flowing ringlets,
A baby’s innocent face.
His feet in orimson slippers,
Are tapping the polished glass*
And the crowd in the street looked upward,
And nod and smile as they pass.
Just here at my cottage window,
Catching flies in the sun,
With a patched and faded apron,
Stands my own little one.
His face is as pure and handsome
As t e baby’s over the way,
And he keeps my heart from breaking
At my toiling every day.
Sometimes when the day is endi,
And I sit in the dusk to rest,
With the face of my sleeping darling
Hugged close to my lonely breast,
I pray that my neighbor’s baby
May not catch heaven’s roses all,
But that some may crown the forehead
Of my loved one, as they fall.
And when I draw the stockings
From his little weary feet,
And kiss the rosy dimples
In his limbs, so round and sweet,
I think of the dainty garments
Some little children wear,
And that iny God withholds them
From mine so pure and fair.
* * * * * * *
Alay God forgive my envy,—
I knew not what I said;
My heart is crushed and troubled,
M y neighbor’s boy is dead!
I saw the little coffin
As they carried it out to-day;
A mother’s heart is breaking
In the mansion over the way.
The light is fair in my window;
The flowers bloom at my door;
My boy is chasing the sunbeams
That dance on the cottage floor.
The roses of health are blooming
On my darling’s cheek to-day,
But the baby is gone from the window
Of the mansion over the way.
It is the easiest thing in the world to
deny the supernatural; to dispose of
its phenomena with a quiet smile of in
credulity; but here is a story for you
to explain: A woman of Skowhegan,
Me., dreamed a night or two ago that
her sister in St. Paul, Minn., of whom
she had heard little in eleven years,
was run over by a train and killed. At
breakfast she told her dream to her
husband, who laughed at the impres
sion it left on her mind. A minute
later and a dispatch was handed to the
trembling woman. She looked at the
date; it was St. Paul. She nearly
fainted when her husband, looking
over her shoulder, read that oa the
very night of tlie dream, and ttie exact
hour and minute thereof, making due
allowance for longitude (how, nooody
knows), the sister in Minnesota had—
become the happy mother of twins.
He started a hair-coloring establish
ment and got rich in two years. He
attabutes his fortune to perststent ad
vertising. This is one of his adver
tisements : “Generation after geaera
tion passeth away, the fires ol the
firmament are extinguished and rekin
dled, the hopes that color the drsams
of Caesar fade like streaks of morning
cloud into the infinite azure of the
Past, but Hair Dye—blessed, magical
hair dye—asserts an everlasting do
minion and crowns the hoary p >ll of
age with the capillary glories of jocund
youth.”
James Palme ’, a Philadelphia drug
gist, who died ecently, left quite a re
markable will. Forty per cent, of the
interest on the money tie left is to be
used for the purchase of coal for the
poor, aud when the principal with com
pounded interest reaches the sum of
one million dollars he wants a “plain,
unostentatious stone or shaft” to be
placed over his remains. Such mod
esty is rather uncommon in these days
of extollation and doubtful virtues in
scribed on one hundred thousand dol

A curious anatomical discovery is
said to have been made by a doctor in
Japan. He says that the cheekbone of
the Japanese is double in many cases,
instead of being a single structure.
The additional bone is united to the
other by a suture, aud it is believed to
be peculiar to the Japanese race,

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
THE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and Is made Into a very even

KITSON’S PATENT EVENER

Attahed, and owing to receent improvements in this Evaner, the laps wnon ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card r<> >m.
flS~There is al- o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mu is at Lowell, Lawrence, Fail Kiver, Manchester
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a lew among many testimonials whicn wo nave received:

The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen. f hrve been running your system of Compound Opener Lapper'. and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, for mme th *e vears n-vt at the o< tton Mil) of tno
Langlqy Manufacturing Company, and I have tound it to work the mo t satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picket apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted ; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department i- saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, &c., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
