A resident of Pittsfield, Muss., pub
lishes his belief that there are sepa
rate heavens for man and women,
flis argument is that all the troubles
in this life arise from the mingling of
the sexes.
Threo.old women and a lame man
constitute a debating society in
M’eHt End Atlanta. The three old
women live together, and their chick
ens scratch up the lame man’s garden.
The debate is held across the line

A Rkm.uikablk Woman died at Hud
son, X. Y., last week. Sirs. Mary
Ivellcnhause was her name, and at
the time of her death she was 106
years of ago. She was married four
times—-the first event in her 18t’u,
and the last in her 88th year. Her
maiden name was Lick, and her pro
geny is said to bo scattered all over
the country.
A Fatal Amur occurred at Lutu
-1 or Pity, in Telfair county, last Fri
day, between Samuel Yarnadoe and j
A. .T. Wells. Several pistol shots
were exchanged, in which Yarnadoe
was mortally wounded. Wells, in at
tempting to make liis escape, was shot
bv Robert Powell with a double bar
relled gun, killing him instantly.
Powell lias left. An inquest will be
held.
Jr.FFEasoN Davis has received invi

and one in Maryland. He has ac- j
copied the invitation to deliver an ad
dress at the Knox county, Illinois fair,

A now anecdote of the rebellion is
ns follows: At the close of the war
General Joe Johnston met in Balti
more a young man who had enjoyed
undisturbed the social delights of that
rebellious city, and who said to him:
“Well, General, wo are conquered,
but not subdued.” “Were you in the
service, young man,” asked the Gen
eral. “No, sir, I had not that honor.”
“Then, my friend,” said Johnston,
“you may not bo subdued, but I am.”

The editor pro tern of the Valdosta
Tunes attempts to correct us about
the way we spell our pet name for
Charley Pendleton—C. Ramothgalead.
Now, we built that namo to suit our
self , to be applied to Charley alone,
(it wouldn’t fit anybody else) and we
claim the right to spell it our own
way. The present presiding genius
of the Times seems to think, however,
that wo drew on the Bible for the
word, and that wo should therefore
spell it ns it is there written, but he
is mistaken. AVe have too much rev

As was announced in the last issue
of that paper, the publication of (Jolla
t tier's Indi’jicndeiit has ceased, and the
press, printing material, Ac., belong
ing to the same have been sold to the
proprietors of the Qrrnr,.\\ ltr.roirm:.
AVe deem it neither becoming or nec
essary for us to refer to tlm causes
that have brought about tliis result,
further than to say that the patron
age of our town and county lias nev
er been sufficient to support two good
papers, and especially in times like
the present, when business of every
kind is embarrassed by such a great
financial strain as our whole country
has been struggling under for the past
two years.
AVe do not belong to that contempt
ible class of so-called men, thank God,
who rejoice at the downfall of a co
temporary. The Repoktkk and Inde
pendent have been enlisted in the
same cause, persistently laboring for
the building up of Quitman and the
protection and advancement of the
interests of this immediate section of
country, and although the patronage
of the people, when divided between
the two papers, has been disparaging
ly small, and really insufficient to de
| fray the expense of publishing either,
the editors have been on the most
i amicable terms-—never stooping to
dishonorable tricks of rivalry- -and
■ endeavored to build up rather than
j drag down each other.
In accordance with an agreement.
I entered into with Major Gallalicr, we
| will send the Repoktkh to all the sub
j scribers to the Independent who have
paid in advance, until the expiration
'of the time for which they subscribed.
I And to those who have not paid, we
j also send this issue of tho Hei'ohtkk,
trusting that many of them will sub
scribe for it at once.
The conduct of the paper will be
the same in the future as it lias been
in the past —espousing first the inter
ests of Quitman and Brooks County,
encouraging local enterprise, uplmld
i ing such principles as wo believe to
be right, and fearlessly denouncing
• moral or political enemies to our
I country.
AVe shall enlarge and otherwise im
prove the Rkpokteu as the patronage
it receives will justify, and shall dili
gently apply every means in our pow
er to keep it fully up to the require
ments of the times. Its columns can !
be controlled by no clique or ring as
long as we are at tlie helm, but wo
hope to make'it a paper for the. people ,'
and thus feel confident of receiving
their hearty support.
“Let Us Have. Peace.”
AYhat a happy theory! How per
fectly' does it accord with the most
earnest desires of the Southern heart,
whose strongest pulsation is for the
return of that white winged dove, i
hearing on her pinions, not only tho
words, but that true peace that begets
fraternal regard and cements in \
closer ties a common brotherhood.
Emanating, as does the above ex
pression, from tlie Chief Executive of
tho nation, who is the exponent of
tho hitherto triumphant political
party, one whom that party has de
lighted to honor, we of the South bad
a right to accept these words as \
meaning nil they imply.; and meaning
that, as honorable men, having ac
cepted the situation, our efforts for
tho common weal would not be mis-1
construed, but cheered and encour
aged; as meaning that the Northern
man might come South and advocate
any wise governmental policy’ without
let or hiuderancc, and also that the
Southern statesman might go North
with the same priviliges. But it.
seems this is not the policy of the
people of AA’iuuebago county, Illinois,
or at least a goodly portion of them.
They find no fault with sending their 1
produce to our market and thus dis
posing of their surplus to a better ad
vantage than elsewhere. It is per-;
feet ly right and proper to send their !
drummers to solicit trade from the
very people who selected Jefferson
Davis as their leader; the very people
who upheld his hands during the 1
struggle of 18G1; tho very people who
periled their lives, their fortunes,
their all for the cause of which he
was administrative executive.
But they raiso their hands in holy
horror, and enter their solemn protest
at the very thought of President
Davis addressing an agricultural so
ciety in Illinois. The light of reason
and brotherhood must have length
ened their shadows to the very gloam
ing in that region, else this would not
be so. But wo will bide our time.
The progress of events will yet make
the, now, in Northern circles, detested
name of our quondam helmsman, a
household word among them. The
world-wide iron wedge movement on
tho plains of Mexico;.the holding at
boy for four long years the rich pop
ulous North, aided by the hirelings of
the combined world, with but a com
-uuxaimi—Lcll.uli’id of men, and but.
respect, now Winded by partisanism,
I that will bo enviable. They will one
day be proud to own the ostracised
Executive as their countryman.
A fay be livo to see that day; but if
not, helms added to his fame undying
lustre in the calm, high letter of
apology written to tho Board of the
Agricultural Society who favored him
! with the invitation to address their

The Negro Insurrection.
The threatened insurrection of the
negroes in AVasliington, Burke and
Wilkinson counties, which Ims caused
so much excitement all over the State
for the past week, and which at one
time it was thought would unavoid*
1 ably, upon the part of tho whites, re
j suit ill bloodshed, has finally been
| quieted, and most of the leaders in
j tho diabolical movement are now
1 under arrest.
Prince Rivers, a notorious scoun
| drel in South Carolinia, it seems lias
been 1 tie god-fatlier of this attempted
! work of incendiarism and slaughter,
i The confessions of some of the pris
oners now in the hands of the law,
| warrant the conclusion that he plan*
I nod the whole affair, and that two
other negroes, Canday Harris and
i Joe Morris—one from AVasliington
! and the other from Burke county- -
I were tho first to commence the organ-
I ization of companies under liis clircc-
I tions.
The original design of this insur
rectionary movement seems to have
been to re-organize the old negro
Union League for political purposes,
1 but as soon as the membership of the
I unholy order increased to an extent
that the negroes felt that their nu
; merical strength was greater than
that of tlie whites, they formed them
selves into military companies, as tho
confession of one of them shows, for
the purpose of claiming and forcing
Ia division of the lands throughout
I that section.
A correspondent, writing from the
! seat of the excitement, says that a nc
| gro now under arrest, who is the
lieutenant of one of the military com
panies, has made a confession, in
which he states that they were to
j murder all the whites in tho country
1 about there except tho pretty girls,
i These were to he made prisoners and
1 held for a fato which horrifies one to
contemplate, such were the fiendjsh
designs of the conspirators,
i A special term of the Superior
Court has been ordered by Judge
H. V. Johnston for the purpose of in- >
vestigating the whole matter and
bringing tho would-be perpetrators of
; these fiendish crimes and murderous j
j outrages to speedy justice as the law
I directs.
Tins Stiunge Stoiiv is told in the j
I last issue of the AA’arrenton (Ga.) j
flipper : AVe have now to record a
very singular incident, which took
place at Baytown, in this county, a '
few days since. Rev. Nathan David
! son, while preaching, had occasion to
! allude to tho miracle of Jesus having
restored a blind man to sight by put
ting clay upon his eyes, and remarked
. that this was “very foolish in Christ,’
when he was suddenly stricken with
paralysis of the tongue, and remained
i speechless, utterly unable to articu
late for several hours. Since recov
ering his speech ho says that he in
tended to say that it was “very
foolish in Christ, viewed from a
worldly point of view,” and then in
tended to show why it was necessary-
It certainly is quite remarkable, and
tho coincidence is very singular, but
the truth can be vouched for anil may
bo relied ou.

There is a little girl living at North
Beverly, A [ass., whoso life of three
years lias been an eventful one. She
was born ou board a',ship in the Pacif
ic Ocean. Before she was seven days
old tho ship was wrecked and sank.
The babe was wrapped in a blanket
and kept warm, and tlie sailors paid
every attention to her, and kept her
alive with biscuit soaked in water,
and were hardly less attentive to the
little one's wants than her father.
Ten days after the wreck they were

[From the Jacksonville Press Extra.]
Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 23, 1875.
On Saturday last Sam. Roberts,
Deputy Sheriff of Baker county, pro
ceeded to Cox and Downing’s turpen
tine still for the purpose of apprehen
ding one Isaac Sams, the ringleader
of a desperate mob of violent negroes
who have kept the town of Sanderson
|in a constant state of uproar and in
tense excitement for a considerable
j period. Tho warrants for the arrest
of Sams have been out one month,
and tlie Deputy Sheriff and party
were resisted very determinedly by
the culprit and some of his support
ers. Sams had sworn, with all the
emphasis of a hardened villain, never
to be taken alive, and had, up to Sat
urday, managed In set the majesty of
! the law at complete defiance. The
| Deputy Sheriff had resolved upon
j the execution of the warrant at any
j hazard, and upon meeting with a
I fierce and truculent resistance, not
!altogether unexpected, kept steadily
to his intention of securing Sams.
!In the melee which occurred, Sams
; ruslu and away to get liis gun, and while
stooping to pick it up, was sTiot dead
by one of the officers of the law.
Tlie intelligence of the bold ont
j law’s death having spread like a prai-
I rie fire among the negroes, they col
| looted iu a large crowd, vowing vou
j geuufce and indulging in wild threats.
They began to conduct themselves
i with more than usual temerity, and
I seemed changed into veritable sav
; ages.
When the train for Savannah ar
rived on Sunday night, it was board
' ed at once by a number of armed lio
! groes in search of Deputy Sheriff
! Roberts and bis assistants. Failing
to find them, they again invested
Gapt. Canova’s store. Col. Gnrganus
and Gapt.. Boris went out for the pur
pose of pacifying them, but were met
by cocked guns and forced to retire.
The negroes numbered seventy-five j
or one hundred, twenty of whom were
armed with guns.
At, half-past nine o’clock Sunday ;
night they demanded of Air. Canova
the key of his store, for the puposo of j
seizing Roberts, who was in tliat buil-!
ding. This being refused, they fired
seventy-live or one hundred times at
the budding, wounding Roberts iu the ;
foot.
They also toip out one of the win
dows and a coaisidevablo portion of
the weather-bqarding.
At 1 o’clock, ia. si. this day, the mob ;
dispersed, bun were reassembling I
when our informant, left Sanderson.
All the meiff in town wore under
arms the whola night, none of tlie in
habitants closed their eyes. Great;
excitement prevails, and the people of I
Sanderson are apprehensive of con
tinued violence.
A special messenger arrived in Jack
sonville for the purpose of seeing the '
judge of this circuit and other legal •
gentlemen, and obtaining their ad
vice and assistance. AA'c doubt not ■
that His Honor, Judge Archibald,
will act with promptness in the mat
ter, and take nil necessary steps to I
protect the officers of the law in the ;
discharge of their duties.
The above startling information
is obtained from reliable authority,
our informant having been an eye 1
witness of the whole affair.
AIR. DAVIS AND HIS NORTHERN
VISIT.
The I!‘.raid, of Tuesday, lias this to j
say of the loyal row raised by our ;
“brethren” of Illinois, over the pro- I
posed address by Mr. Davis at the !
coming Winnebago County Agricul
tural Fair :
When we heard that Mr. Davis had I
accepted tho invitation to visit Illi
nois and deliver an agricultural
address, wo were gratified. It was a j
kindly thing on the part of the fanners ;
of Illinois to invite Mr. Davis. It was j
a courteous thing for the ex-Prcsideut !
of the Confederacy to accept it. A j
good deal of bitterness that belongs j
to the recent war unjustly centers
around the person of Air. Davis.
'J’liis movement of the Grand Army
of the Republicans m an illustration
of this injustic. If Jefferson Davis is
an unwelcome guest at a Northern*
agricultural fair, then no other South
erner who fought in the war can bowel
coined. AVe do not see where the
member of the Grand’ Army of the
Republic can draw the line between
Jefferson Davis and General Long
street, unless in this that Air. Davis
preferred to cherish the convictions
with which he entered the rebellion,
while General Longstrcet, with more
wisdom and courage, lias accepted
tlie doctrines of the Republican party.
Mr. Davis was no more responsible
for tlie rebellion in tlie South than 1
any one of a thousand other men.
In fact, before tho war, while the I
question of secession was under dis
cussion, ho was among the more mod
erate of the Southern leadi rs. There
wero twenty members and Senators
in the Congress which preeded the
rebellion more active than Atr. Davis
in bringing about hostilities and more i
responsible for the result. Air. Davis
and his colleagues in that Congress
followed a public opinion in the ■
South, and did not lead it. Air. Da
vis was put at the head of tho Con
federacy siply because ho had more
character than most of tho Southern
leaders. Even as it was tho Confed
erate Congress almost elected Air.
Toombs, of|Gcorgia. The election of
Davis was the expression of a con
servative sentiment even in tho South
ern Confederacy. As President of
the Confederacy Air. Davis did his
duty as well as he know how. He j
■lUd w_li:it any other Southern leader I
Ife stood by liis post to tho end.
When ho fell befell with tho Coufctl
rrney. Therefore, to deal with Mr.
Davis as in any way more responsible
for the rebellion than any one of the
conspieons Jmon of the South before
tlm war is to do him a great, injus
tice and ourselves a discredit.
The wisdom of Air. Davis coming
into a hostile community to deliver a
lecture upon any subject migh be
| questioned. It is probably the pen
alty wliieli lie and all men like him
: who have held supremo station in
j rebellion must pay, that ho must ac
! copi. failure as closing to him any op
portunity for display or advancement,
jWe think it would have boon a gra
’ cions thing for the people of Illinois
; to have accepted liis act in tho spirit
; winch prompted it. These members
lof the Grand Army of the Republic
'represent only the dismal memories
jof tho war. This organization is
j known to the political and secret in
its character. Its members use their
army record for selfish political pur
: poses. The true soldiers of the North
and South have forgotten everything
ij tho past except glory, and they
think only of their opponents as chiv
alrous and brave men. Wo never
i hear of this Grand Army of tho Re
public except when it makes the mis
chief that is taking place in Illinois.
The business of its leaders seems to
jbe to lan the expiring flame of civil
- wrath and diligently seek office. An
| net. like this in IlliiD'is, this rejection
of the kindness and courtesy of Mr.
Davis, will do more toward exaspera
ting the South and intensifying the
bitterness of feeling which it has long
been the aim of patriotic men, without
distinction of section or party, to ex
tinguish, Ilian anything that has oc
curred for a long time. There is not
a true Southern man who took part
in tho Cuufeduiacy who will not feel
that he cannot be welcome in any
community which denounces the
President of bis Confederacy as an
“archtraitor and coward.”
Moral Courage
A great deal of talent is lost in flic
world for want of a little courage.
Every day sends to the grave a num
ber of obscure men,who have only re
mained in obscurity because their tim
iiliy has prevented them from making
a first effort, and who, if they couid
have been induced to begin, would in
all probability have gone great lengths
in fame. The fact is, to do anything
ill the world worth doing, we must
not stand back shivering and thinking
of tlie cold and danger, but jump in
and scramble through as well as we
can. It will not do to be perpetually
calculating tasks and adjusting nice
changes. It, did very well before the
flood,where a man could subsist his
friends upon an intended j üblication
for a ■ hundred and fifty years, and
then live to see its success afterwards.
But at present a man waits and doubts,
hesitates and consults bis brother, and
his uncle, and liis friends, until
one fine day, be finds lie is sixty veers
of age; that lie lias lost so much time
iu consulting bis first cousin and par
ticular friends, that lie litis no more
to follow their advice. —tiidney Smith
The spirit, of Abraham Lincoln has,
it is claimed, been making a speech
through a, medium at the Massachu
setts Spiritualists’ Convention. On
being reminded that ho had given
liberty to the colored people, he said:
“I proclaimed emancipation not be
cause I cared about freeing those d—d
negroes down South, but because I
couldn’t free you Northern niggers
without freeing them.” AVe think
that medium was bogus—because
Uncle Abe didn’t swear when in earth
life, and it is not likely th.atl.ie lias
taken to the habit in tho Promised
Land.
