AUaiJSTA, G-A.i Wednesday Morning, Sept. 15, 1875. CURRENT TOPICS. 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 Texas) Telegraph. 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 hundred ton ship will be duly announced in her papers- -You bet ! 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 lar tombstones, 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, Young Liehtenberg, aged fouiteen whom Weiniawski found in California, has made his debut in Brussels.

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.
