AUGUSTA, G-J^.Z
Wednesday Morning, Sept. 29, 1875.
Richmond, Va., September 23,1875.
A litors Dispatch: The article in to-day’s
i a under the head of “Andersouville,”
-it;a & R. R. S., would have been still
stronger it he had not overlooked one im
portant fact: that our Government offered
to - nd the Federal .prisoners home with
out exchange —that is, on parole. I send
y. i a few lines, written from a Northern
-Mil ipoint, which puts the responsibility
where it justly belongs. The lines are old,
and l expect you have seen them before.
Yours, Old Fxbst Virginia Infantry.
The Boys in Blue Who Died in Prison.
Full fifteen thousand men,
The brave, the good, the true,
As captives died in prison-pen—
“ They died for me and you!”
And shall not ti eth’s indignant tongue
Declare who did this grievous wrong ?
On many a bloody field
They stood ’gainst leaden hail;
And though at last constrained to yield,
Their spirits did not quail;
hey safely passed their battles through,
Aud yet “they died for me and you.”
lhey pined for homo, sweet home,
And for their daily bread;
Alas! assistance did not come,
And now—they’re with the dead!
E’en hardened rebels felt their grief,
And yet could furnish no relief!
The rebel leaders durst
Mot do what toe have done;
Though many hearts with anguish burst
At tales from “Anderson”:
For still they lef our brave men share
Their own coarse food and scanty fare.
The sad tale must be told :
The brave, the true, the good,
While we were busy coining gold
i hey died for want of food!
'These fifteen thousand boys in blue
As victims died—“for me and you.”
The rebels in their need.
Once, twice, and yet again,
Dill all they could to plead
For justice to these men:
But deaf, alas! the Nation’s ear.
The p.-ople’s servants would not hear.
Even Davis felt their grief,
And sent his message forth,
By prompt exchange to grant relief
To prisoners South and North.
And why, alas! was not this done ?
There was no heart at Washington!
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
Howe’s Circus will be in Atlanta on
the 11th and 12th of October. It goes
thence up the Air-Line Railroad ’to
Charlotte.
i'atuin and Fuller, two adjoiniug At
lanta merchants, fell out and fought
Saturday. Fuller struck Tatum and
Tatum shot at Fuller. Fuller’s head
anil datum’s show ease were wounded.
The Newnan Star states, what we
have not heretofore seen in print, that
dr. Mark W. Johnson, of Atlanta, has
g lie into bankruptcy with heavy lia
bilities. He was a large dealer in ag
rieultural implements.
Atlanta Constitution: Oh Friday
night an infamous attempt was made
at CLarkston, on the Georgia Railroad,
to throw the night passenger train off
:he track by placiug broken iron rails
in the frogs at both euds of the switch.
Fortunately the wheels of the engine
forced the rails out and the design of
the outlaws was frustrated.
The New York Herald, in speaking
of the capture of “Ginerai” Joe Mor
ris, says : “It is a somewhat remarka
ble circumstance that he should have
been in communication with the United
.States District Attorney for several
days prior to his capture, and that a
United States judge should have re
fused permission to the sheriff to en
ter a room in the court house where
the criminal lay concealed. Tho almost
invariable sympathy manifested for ne
gro criminals in the South by Federal
officials would not seem to tend greatly
toward the promotion of the era of
good feeling of which so much has
been said of late.” Why, bless you,
when a negro commits larceny, arson,
robbery or murder, he runs to the
nearest Federal official—that is, if he
i a knowing negro.— [Savannah News.
Somebody at Atlanta recently wrote
to Mr. Murat Halstead, of the Cincin
nati Commercial, to get his views on the
subject of sewers—a question now agi
tating the popular mind of the former
- ity—and received the following reply:
but: Cincinnati Commercial— Editor’s
Office, September 13th, 1875. — Gentle- |
men : I have not got documents on the
subject of sewers. The latest intelli
g nee is : 1. They are jobs undertaken
to squander the money of the people.
2. No system of sewerage can ever be
completed, at least no one ever is; the
more you do, the morn imperative the
demand for extensions. 3. They pol
lute rivers and waste the sewage that
ought to be made useful. 4. The job
bers run them in front of houses when
tho water closets are in the rear, mak
ing connection impossible or excessive
ly costly, and endless jobbery for
j lumbers. 5. They diffuse contygeous
diseases, and by the circulation of sew
age gas cause malignant fevers. 6. The
and l rascals never half build tho sow
ms, aud they are nuisances forever.
Please post me as to the progress of
this discussion in your city.
M. Halstead.
Alacon Telegraph: The carriage house
and stable of Col. H. J. Lamar, at- Yine
villo, were destroyed by lire about two
o’clock yesterday. It is not known
liow the lire originated. Fortunately
there was no stock in the stable, and
Col. Lamar’s elegant carriage was ab
sent. Both the buildings were new and
substantial, and the loss is a serious
one. * * Mr. Dan Wright, an em
ployee of the cotton factory, got his
right arm caught in the machinery yes
-1“i day, and so fearfully lacerated that
it had to be amputated. It was a part
of his business to clean the heavy gear
ing which moves the machinery of the
warding room, every Saturday at noon.
A week ago yesterday he was spe
cially cautioned not to attempt to
touch the gearing until the engine
was perfectly still, as it was very dan
gerous to do so. Yesterday, however,
in' began his work before the machinery
had stopped and his arm was caught
by the powerful wheel and drawn
through. In this position he was fast
ened and had to remain until the
engine was stopped and the machinery
could be reversed by hand. This proba
bly consumed leu minutes. We never
saw. a limb so frightfully mangled. The
ill sk was entirely tom from the bone
below the elbow, aud the tendons were
torn out. Besides, be received a severe
blow upon the head, which fractured
his skull, and also knocked out several
of his teeth.
Sandersville Herald: An article ap
peared last week from the Atlanta corres
pondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist
announcing- with great positiveness that
Gov. Johnson’s friends intend to press him
f,r the nomination for the gubernatorial
chair next year. Gov. Johnson is now hold
ing court here, and we have conversed with
him on the subject. He says he has “no
aspiration for the office; is not advised
that his friends intend to press him for the
nomination; he has never authorized any
one, either directly or indirectly, to do so,
~r to place him in ths attitude of a candi
date for the nomination, and that he has
cot the least desire for the office.” * * *
Rev. Thos. Granberry, of Jefferson county,
died on the 11th inst., aged about eighty
rears. He had been a member of tho Bap
tist Church for about 05 years. * * Our
little city is entirely out of debt, has a
surplus in the treasury, and the streets and
public works are generally in good condit
ion. Can any of the older and large
ities beat this?
Perhaps but few people realize what
riches of resignation are within the
reach of the man who is overtaken by
a wet Sunday at a Missouri inn, and
attempts to make a literary banquet on
the advertising columns of an Arkan
sas newspaper.

any opening and picking arrangement 1 have ever een. we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker 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 clearing is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations witli this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
