Mr. liaidie, Cashier of the Manufaeturera'
Bank, of this city, has sent ns for inspection
two one Dollar Bill* of the Bank of Savannah
and Bank of Columbus altered to Fives, which
have been stopped at that Bank. The altera

out for them, but spurious bills have hitherto
been so rare that moat all of us arc careless
about examining the money we receive. It is
probsblo some enterprising “ chid is amang

be necessary to escape imposition. Let every
body scrutinize tlie bank bills they receive.
Homicide of Col. Bond.
The preliminary examination of Brown before
n Magistrate's Court, in Dougherty, resulted in
his disci large last Friday morning.
Homicide in Ware County.
• Wo learn that during the past week, Mr.
I.smb, the Sheriff of Ware County, killed autan
by the name of Cyrus Smith, tlie son of a Hotel
keeper.
It appears that Smith, who is a young and
unmarried man, had written and sent a note to
a young I July, a sister-in-law of Lamb, contain
ing proposals of the most insulting character,
and which tho young Lady exhibited to her
brolhtr-in-law, who immediately took a double
I nurd led gun and went in quest of Smith.
Smith was at his fat hot's bouse, and ijunb
upon seeing him taxed him with writing the
note and sharp words ensued between the par
ties. Smith, with a Colt's Repeater in his hand,
left tlie House, advanced to the gate, and as soon
os lie got out of the enclosure was fired upon by
Lamb and killed.
Homicides.
Passengers who came by the Atlanta Train of
Sunday afitrnoon. report that a difficulty oc
curred in Fayette County last week, between
two citizens, growing out of the suits brought
by informers against Tax Payers, and one of
the parties was killed. He was stricken on the
lack of the head with a Pitcher, and died in a
short time afterwards.
YET ANOTHER.
Simeon Banks, formerly of Jasper, killed a
man named Perkins, in Brooks county, a short
time since, and fled. He was pursued, but made
his escapes We understand he was in this city
for several days.
t Ralston's Hall—Hr. Fleming.
Mr. Fleming's Dramatic Company opened at
Ralston's Hall on Saturday evening last, with a
strong cast in London Assurance.
Mr. Fleming has won golden opinions from
our lovers of the Drama by his continued efforts
to make tlie Hall an attractive place of resort.
His company lias recently been strengthened by
the addition of Mr. Fuller, a Comedian of great
celebrity, and Mr. Collins Stuart, who is also
quite a popular actor. During the present en
gagement Jessie Brown will be brought out
with entirely new dresses and scenery prepared
especially for the occasion. We hope Mr. Flem
ing will meet with liberal encouragement, for
he certainly deserves it
but before the committee returned, Dr. West
moreland moved that the meeting be suspended
; until ten o’clock. The chair decided that it was
. already ten o’clock, but put the motion and it
was lost Just as the committee were about to
return, Dr. Westmoreland arose and called upon
the Brown men to retire from the Halt Those
remaining received the report of the committee
and a list of delegates and affirmed the action of
the committee.
• The friends of Gov. Brown met afterwards—
ballotted for delegates—passed resolutions in
favor of the renomination of Gov. Brown, and
adjourned.
The latter meeting, before going into the elec
tion of delegates, sent a committee to the first
meeting with a proposition to coalesce and elect
delegates which was rejected for the reason as
stated, that the first meeting had already ap
pointed their delegates. The following gentle
men were appointed Delegates by the first
meeting: A. M. Wallace, Esq., CoL J. W. Dun
can, CoL AY. T. AYilson, AY. A. Greene, AA'm.
McDonnell, I. E. Bartlett, J. E. AVilliams, Esq.,
Col. T. C. Howard, AY. Solomons, and Col. T.
AY. J. Ilill. And the following gentlemen were
elected delegates by the last meeting: Logan
E. Bleckley, Thomas Connally, and Thos. Moore.
AYe regret to see this discord and division in
tlie ranks of the Democracy of Fulton, and wc
hope that time and wise counsels may yet heal
the breach.
In this quarter all Is harmony upon tlie sub
ject of Gov. Brown’s renomination. The Bibb
delegation, we have no doubt, will be united in
favor of Gov. Brown.

pious regard for the promotion of his friend,
hastened to get up for immediate use a few ad

drama of Uncle Tom't Cabin. Tlie intensely-
amusing and killing Air. Doesticks was despatch
ed to Savannah with plenary powers to call into
play all the resources of his brilliant descriptive
talent, to make the story as acceptable as pos
sible to the morbid appetite of Yankeedom. Ac
cording to the ingenious story of the aforesaid
author, he appeared on the ground where the
sale occurred with a list in his hand, and per
formed the striking and adroit manoeuvre of
pretending to be there as a purchaser. AYhat

Tlie Gubernatorial Canvass, in Virginia,

The Cincinnati Enquirer and the
PRESIDENCY.
Our Ohio Cotemporary takes issue with us
in regard to the propriety of selecting a South
ern candidate for the Presidency. AYc had
hoped that our Northern Democratic friends
would yield the South the candidate without a
contest, but if there is to be a struggle let it be
a friendly one. AVhile we are in favor of a
Southern man, wc do not mean to say that we
would not cheerfully support a Northern can
didate should the Charleston Convention select
such an one. Seymour, Dickinsou, Toucey, Dal
las, Pierce, Lane, and many other Northern
Statesmen, would command a warm and cor
dial support at the South. AYe think, however,
it would be better for all parties that the Stan
dard Bearer should be taken from a Slave State,
and we hope to liave the aid of the Enquirer in
making such a nomination.

A Waterbound Village.
Affairs, during these rainy times, have gone
on twimiiingly about Troupvillc, if wc may
judge by the following from the AA'atcliman of
the 15th; and we judge they became no dryer
very fast, after that Tuesday’s issue:—
Tlie mail crossed the AVithlacochce in a bug
gy, Sunday night, bringing the first intelligence
from Savannah or from any locality eastward of
this village, received here since the 3d inst. Our
rivers continued to rise until noon on Friday
last, and have been higher than at any period
since January 1850. The flooring of Little riv
er bridge, over which the water rose four feet,
was replaced early Sunday morning, and the
mail for Thomasviile carried over in a one horse
buggy which, with considerable swimming, suc
ceeded in reaching the hill beyond the river
flats.
Both rivers are now falling rapidly, and may

A Bad Invc&tmeut.
It seems after all that the “Informers” who
have been visiting many of our counties aud stir
ring up suits against citizens who have not giv
en in their taxable property at full Talue, are
likely to meet with but little success.
A case of this kind came up before Judge
Cabaniss, at Mutta Superior Court, and we no
tice. in the Griffin Union, a learned and able
opinion from thc presiding Judge, in which
he very properly decides “that thc 8th section
of the Act of 1804 under which all the suits
have been instituted, is not of force and there
no Law authorizing the recovery which the
Plaintiff seeks.”
Thc learned Judge further says: “And this de
cision does not turn the delinquent tax payers
loose to make false and partial returns of their
taxable property with impunity—they can be
made to bear the'ir proper share of tlie burdens of
taxation and be punished likewise for their delin
quency. In all such cases let thc Receivers of
tax returns give information to the Justices of
Poor School Fuud for 1859.
This fund was apportioned to the several coun
ties, as follows, on the 2d inst., and about
ninety-four counties have already drawn it.
Our readers will be surprised at the great dis
parity in the amount apportioned to the Cher
okee counties in comparison to that of those
in other parts of the State. AA’e hope the
Cherokee couuties have not returned all their
children, as heretofore, whether poor or not.
thc Inferior Courts, who are fully authorized to
impose a double tax. And a penalty which
may more effectually meet such cases, has keen
provided by the last Legislature, which it is
unnecessary now to notice.”
AYe rejoice that thc Informers have thus been
defeated in their attempts to reap a rich harvest
by such a questionable proceeding.
The Post Office Deeardient and an Ex
tra Session.—The States says :
'An investigation of the accounts of thc Post
Office Department, reveals the fact tliat it is six
million dollars in arrears! After this disclos
ure an extra session is absolutely indispensable.
By no expedient whatever is it possible to sus
tain the service under such a burden of indebt
edness without an appropriation from Congress.
e repeat, an extra session is inevitable, and at
no distant day.
The country will begin to regard the failure
of tlie Post Office Appropriation bill as a fortu
nate rather than colamitoi:> circumstance, since
it is the occasion of developing the miserable
mismanagement of tlie Department, and so sug
gesting the imperative necessity of refonu.
Thc whole exhibition is one well worthy of see
ing, and we hope none of our people will per
mit this opportunity to pass without witnessing
it.—Atlanta Intelligencer.
