THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16,1868.
Radical Frauds.—Hon. J. S. Black, in a
speech made a few days since at York, Penn
sylvania, said: “I cannot speak with perfect
accuracy, but I believe I am within reasona
ble bounds when I tell you that a thousand
millions would not cover the frauds commit
ted since the close of the war.”
Mr. Tumlin Gets a Gold Watch.—'The
Atlanta correspondentof the Augusta Chroni
cle says: The New Issue Members, in virtue
of the good deeds rendered to them by Mr.
Tomlin, presented that gentleman with a
magnificent gold watch, on which was en
graved the following inscription: “Hon.
Wm. Tumi in; Vir Patric infelicifiddis" (that
is, if the printers don’t make it something
else.)
Peace.—Gen. Grant closed his letter of ac
ceptance with the words, “Let us have peace,”
and Mr. Colfax, commenting on these words
in his Lafayette speech, said: “If there is a
country in the world that wants peace, it is
this American Republic.”
Wo think that idea is likely to impress it
self more and more strongly on the American
mind from day to day, no matter who is
elected to the Presidency. But how is it to
find practical effect under Radical rule?
Eight million Southern whites find them
selves ruled not only in utter indifference to
their opinions, feelings and interests, but in
utter hostility to them. How can they feel con
tented, tranquil and secure without a change
in the policy of the Government towards
themselves? Again, there is not a trnthful
white man in the North^w^foTo’f good gov-
ihftkent*are violated in the Radical recon
structed governments of the South, and how
can this part of the country ever be satisfied,
happy and prosperous so long as this is the
case? Peace and prosperity must be the off
spring alone of a benign and healthy politi
cal condition. They cannot be restored by
pains, penalties and proscriptions by the
bayonet and military law—yet nothing but
these.expedients have so far been tried by
the Radicals, nor do they propose anything
else. “Differ and, be damned," is all they have
to say.

TIOJf.
In or Oct—Wiucn is Best ?—The un
reconstructed State of Virginia has been
stripped ofsoldierstosend to the reconstruct
ed State of Tennessee to preserve the peace
there. So it seems that old Virginia can get
along more safely “out of the Union,” with
out troops, than Tennessee in it. It must be
some satisfaction to Virginia, which brought
all the other States originally into the Union
to be used, even when she is “out,” construc
tively, as a base of operations to keep those
in order who are “in” reconstructively. Gen.
Stoncman finds it safe to send all bis garri
son to Tennessee, whilst Tennessee recon
struction requires both Stoneman’s soldiers
aud Brownlow’s militia to keep it from tpp-
pling over. Self government is, after all, the
most economical as well as natural process
for Americans. Only leave all the other
Southern States alone, and they will do as
well in the Union as Virginia is doing out of
it
The Post on Butler’s Re-election.—
The New York Evening Post, commenting
on the recent renomination of General Butler
to Congress from the Massachusetts oth Dis
trict, speaks of that worthy in the following
unmistakable terms. After hoping that Mr.
Dana, and not Butler, would be elected by
the party, it says:
But it would be better for the Republican
party that a Democrat should represent the
district, than General Butler elected by the
Republicans. The election of Grant is now
sure; the Republicans, it is equally certaiu,
will have a sufficient working majority in the
House of Representatives. They can afford
to lose a vote in the House better than they
can bear the burden which General Butler’s
presence and actions in the House is sure to
lay upon their party. As a mere party cal
culation, the defeat of Mr. Butler, at all haz
ards, and even by the election of a Democrat
against him, would be sagacious. Looking
to the general interest, it is even more impor
tant to keep out of the next Congress, from
which patience, good temper and calm wis
dom will be required, a man of General But
ler’s temperament ancl beliefs.”
Origin op the Forty Acres and Mule.
This is the origin of the celebrated Radical
bribe to the negro:
"When Tliad. Stevens first drew bis plan np
for mild confiscation in the Southern States,
he summed up in this wise: “There are forty
million acres of land owned by the rebels
and there are only three million negroes, (the
race having decreased fully one million since
freedom dawned upon them through Lin
coln’s proclamation.) My plan will give
forty acres of land to every negro, and
enough will be left to buy a mule for each
of them.
A numerous. assemblage of negroes has
been in session in the City Hall of Macon sev
eral days, and, if we may credit universal re
port and the statements of the papers, they
have repaid the courtesy which has placed
the City Hall at their disposal, with the most
atrocious slanders of the white people of
Georgia and of Macon. Their orators have
declared that the whites seek to re-enslave,
to cheat and to destroy the negroes. That
the whites of Macon and Georgia intend to
murder the negroes, if the latter attempt to
vote for Grant and Colfax; and it is probable
that these slanders have been embodied in
reports and circulars for Northern circulation,
with a view to operate upon the prejudices
and animosities of the Northern whites
against the Southern whites, for the supposed
benefit of the Southern negroes.
If these unscrupulous negroes are so silly
as to suppose they can permanently enlist the
majority of the whites in America in a cru
sade against their own color and race in the
South, for the benefit of a minority of obtru
sive, ill-natured and quarrelsome Southern
negroes, let them live to feel and suffer for
their absurd mistake. They will discover it
in due time, and in the first moment the
Northern whites find that the Southern ne
groes cannot be used to advantage.
But if these negroes think any sensible
white man can be deluded by their atrocious
misrepresentations, we think they undervalue
the intelligence of the whites of their own
party. Will any man of sense, believe that
a negro convention can sit day after day in
the City Hall of Macon, flouting the most in
famous slanders la.thgjg£e u a& f &n whites
will attempt by violence to prevent their
voting for Grant and Colfax ? That two
hundred of them can abuse the white people
by the day in the Macon City Hall, with im
punity, aud two thousand of them in the
same place cannot vote as they please ? The
fact and their stories are too absolutely in
consistent to inspire honest credulity. The
Northern Radicals may pretend to believe,
but they will know better.
% We do not mean to be understood as hold
ing the blacks in Georgia responsible for the
antics of the crew of agitators which met
last Tuesday at the Macon City Hall. By
no means. The vast majority of them know
nothing, and care nothing about the meet
ing. The latter was the work of a turbulent
few who expect to cut a swell as Congress
men, Legislators, etc. They may be said to
be engaged just now in a fight with the car
pet-baggers and white Radicals for a divis
ion of the spoils to be reaped from the ne
gro votes. We do not believe that the great
bulk of the Georgia negroes feel much inter
est in the squabble.

Chicago, September 7.—Galena (Illinois),
does not at all resemble the other towns or vil
lages of America, generally laid out in straight
lines, and streets invariably crossing at right
angles. The houses, scattered in most pic
turesque disorder upon the rocks, among the
gorges and valleys of which flows the Fevre,
or rather Frevre—a French name—does not
present a uniform coup diced. Two or three
narrow streets, laboriously cut through the
rocks, bordered by old wooden houses, and
where more goats* and hogs were to be met
than human passengers, constituted formerly
the “commercial portion” of the locality. Of
commerce there is nothing left since the rail
road from Chicago has been prolonged to
Dnnleith. But Galena is almost an historic
town, and has become for somo time past a
point of political pilgrimage. It is here that
Ulysses S. Grant passed a year before draw
ing bis sword from its scabbard; and it is
here that he is again reposing himself from
the fatigues of war, preparatory to being
called by the voice of the people to occupy
the seat of Washington.
A few days before his departure from the
Federal capital, some zealous Republicans
thought it proper to urge upon the candidate
for the Presidency the necessity of bis pres
ence in Washington during the electoral
campaign.
“I have a horror of these political jobs,” said
Grant, “ and I don’t think my presence here
can be at all necessary. Just look at it: I
shall have to remain a 'prisoner in Washing
ton during four long years, to date from
March next, and you would depriYe.jnfi.oL';
holidayJbEfog* even than the first. No, no;
I need to go and recruit myself among the
mountains; and I am going to Galena to
await the result of the election.”
The house presented to Gen. Grapt by the
citizens of Galena is a pretty cottage, in the
American style, planted upon an eminence.
Above it floats the starry banner. We were
received, on our arrival, by Ulysses Grant,
junior, who led us into a little parlor, very
simple, but furnished in taste, and where we
found the conqueror of Lee engaged in turn
ing over the leaves of one of Frank Leslie’s
illustrated journals.
I will not undertake to give a perfect pen-
portrait of Gen. Grant, whom the published
photographs very much resemble. His fore
head, without being large, is well developed;
his complexion rather pale thun florid; and
his eyes blue and scrutinizing. His attitude
is noble and dignified, but, at first approach
ing him a slight reserve is noticeable, which,
however, very quickly disappears. Mr.
Buchanan resembled an Anglicau bishop,
and Mr. Lincoln was physically the type of a
village lawyer, while Mr. Johnson is a com
pound of the tradesman decked out in bis
Sunday’s best, the country doctor, and the
schoolmaster. As to the future President,
he would seem to be more at ease in uniform

THE POLITICAL PROSPECT IN OHIO AND INDI-
• ANA.
From the Cincinnati! Enquirer, October 5.]
Wo are informed by a gentleman who. was
an active canvasser for the Democratic ticket
in Ohio in 1867, as well as in 1868, that the
Democratic prospects, so far as visible signs
are concerned, are better now than they were
last year. The number of Republicans who
attend our meetings is greater, and they
give evident marks of approval and approba
tion. '
Hamilton (Ohio) Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer•
Having for the last six weeks traveled
through a great part of Ohio and Indiana, I
mean to trespass on your widely circulated
paper to give you my views in regard to the
election, which is to come off on the 13th
instant in Indiana. The Radicals are hope
lessly gone. Hendricks will be next Gover
nor, by at least 10,000 majority, and the
grandest thing is that Julien has his last
§5000 as member of Congress. Judge Reid
will certainly settle him. Indiana is certainly
secure for Seymour and Blair and Hen
dricks.
Everywhere the Democracy are alive aDd
doing—gaining accessions to their ranks ev
ery day. In Logansport and Indianapolis
they are coming by hundreds. Again, in
Ohio, Cary is secured by 700 to 1,000 major
ity; then to the Third District, now repre
sented by the Hod. Scbenck, Vallandigham
will defeat him 400 to 600 majority. Boutwell,
from Massachusetts, spoke in Dayton on
Wednesday evening to an audience of 387, by
actual count, while thousands rolled out to
hear gallant Generals Ewing and Ward. The
grandest display was by the White Boys in
Blue, headed by thirty disabled veterans,
driven from the Soldiers’ Home a few days
ago for attending a Democratic meeting. On
account of this tbesoldiers are down on Bob,
and will sink him in the dust on the 13th

Mr. S. M. McCord, of Springfield, Ohio,
called yesterday at the Yorld office, and two
days ago, in conversatioa with Gen. George
M. Morgan, was informed by the latter that
in his opinion (and a most judicious observer

that the majority will be greatly increased in
November; that Indiana indicates the same

What is an Acre Worth 1
From the Southern Recorder A
J When the Southern farmer, be he a large
or small one, will rightly .compute the value,
of an acre, and set the proper worth by it,
we may then expect that material and real
wealth to- the State that is only now imagi
native. We call ourselves an agricultural
people, and admit that the wealth of our
State lies in its productions. To a great ex
tent, we may say altogether, that as a people
we are dependent upon our cotton, rice and
tobacco crops for what money we make.—
As to onr corn crop, we hardly feel like
counting it in, if we judge from thousands of
bushels that are brought from the West to
supply the demands of our people,' and the
thousands upon thousands of dollars we send
out of the State for that article alone; not
counting the millions of pounds of bacon
that we buy also from the West.
Every man that cultivates a few acres of
Innd, imagines that he must put half or two-
thirds in cotton; that cotton is the only
thing that will bring ready money. We
would not have a word to say about plant
ing cotton, if each acre planted brought a
bag; but when we know that if it takes
from three to four acres ot our worn land3 to
make a bag, we feel that it is labor and
money thrown away, and that the farmer ha»
never for a moment sat down aDd calculated
the worth of an acre well manured an/J well-
worked.
An acre of land well manured, well taken
care of, is worth from $50 to $100. An acre
that will bring twenty-two bushels of wheat
and thirty bushels of corn the same year, is
worth $100 per acre; and any . pains-taking
farmer can make an acre produce that. The
manure dropped in stables or yards by horses,
cows, hogs, sheep, etc., will manure one acre
well. We speak of the small farmer, the man
with but little stock. Care and economy is
all that is needed to save manure: but
9fhJ <M Ur^naEirig"and' , 2fif r xii§ A ffiamife," , 'we
may expect but poor returns from the
soil. If the small farmer could be in
duced to take half the pains the New Eng
land farmer does on his place, there would
not be a farm in Baldwin county that would
not be worth at least $20 to the arce.
But what we desire to call the especial at
tention of our farmers to, is the importance
of manuring at least one acre well, and plant
ing it io something that wil bring him $100
clear. It can be done, and done easily, but
there must be system about it. Let the small
farmer who reads this, look at the nearest
city or town to which he trades, and see
what article of provisions sell readily; take,
for instance, sweet potatoes, everybody eats
them, and they find a ready sale; they keep
well, and can be sold by the wagon load or
bushel, at from fifty cents to one dollar.
A farmer knows how many bushels an acre
will bring, and he knows that he can get
$100 to an acre even at 50 cents per bushel.

The Western newspaper dispatches speak
of the New York Democratic meeting as the

from Gen. McClellan :

decline the honor you proffer me.
I should, however, be glad to attend tbe
meeting as a private citizen did engagements
of a domestic nature render it possible; but
absence from the city on the day in qnestion
will forbid it. I gladly avail myself of the
opportunity to express my continued hearty
sympathy with the Democratic cause, and my
ardent wishes for the success of those Consti
tutional principals for which the recent war
was undertaken by the North. Separated
as I thus am from the distinguished soldier
who lias been chosen as the leader of our op
ponents, I know that you agree with me in
the highest respect for the services he has
rendered onr country, but it ismy conviction
that the measures of the party which has
placed him in nomination are but continua
tions of strife, and can never restore peace or
constitutional supremacy and thereby com
plete the work.
The work of the soldier is, I trust, forever
ended, and it remains for the people to fulfil
the great objects for which they, or their
sons and brothers were called to the field. A
restored Union of, States and hearts, an in
vigorated Constitution to be firmly and faith
fully supported, the maintenance of the na
tional credit inviolable, and the establish
ment of national and State rights in all their
integrity, and thus true harmony and a last
ing peace.
These are the objects for which every citi
zen should now strive, and believing they
rest in tbe success of the Democratic cause by
the election of the eminent Statesman select
ed to represent the party, it is my intention
to sustain that cause as a private citizen.
With the request that you will convey to
the gentlemen of tbe committee, and any
other friends for whom you act, my sincere
thaDks for the compliment they have paid
me, I am most truly yours,

Present Status of the Spanish Legation in
Washington.
Washington, October 5.—Our minister to
Spain having notified tbe Secretary of State
of the flight of Queen Isabella and the forma
tion of the new provisional Junta, various
statements have been made as to the action
taken by the administration thereon. It is
believed that the subject has been considered
but briefly in Cabinet, and by the President
and Mr. Seward, but the matter will probably
receive careful consideration during the
Cabinet meeting to morrow. In the mean
time it is understood to be the opinion of tbe
administration that our minister, Mr. Hale,
should recognize tbe new Junta, it being in
fact the only existing goverment of SpaiD
and none disputing its right with force, or
pretence of opposing it successfully.
As the the course that shall be pursued by
our administration toward the Spanish min
ister sent here by the fugacious Queen, and
heretofore recognized by onr Government, it
is not neccessary that any action be taken
until some official intercourse or recognition
shall be demanded by the exigencies of the
case.
Lanier House—This well-known and
highly popular house is now under the
management of Messrs. Collier & Boys. Mr.
Collier will be remembered by all the visi
tors at that celebrated Summer resort, the
Indian Springs, as the one who ministered
to tbo wants of tbe inner man, and cared for
every want and wish of his guests in a man
ner to win unbounded praise. His Macon
house cannot be surpassed in the excellence
of its cuisine, and tbe order, neatness and
care which mark its general management.—
The “Boys” being chips of the old block,
bid fair to merit the praise which the old
block has so often received from all who
have enjoyed his hospitalities.

Death of Mr. Frank S. Burr..—With
sadness, we record the casualty that caused
the death of our esteemed fellow-citizen, F.
S. Burr. Last Saturday night, while hunt
ing with a younger brother, he felled a tree,
which lodged against another, whereby a
branch was torn from the body of the felled
tree, and, falling on him, caused his death
almost instantaneously.
Mr. Burr was well known in this com
munity, where he was raised, and was highly
esteemed by all who knew him, for his in
dustry, intelligence, uprightness and honesty.
He was one of the few, in these degenerate
days, who might be safely trusted, under any
circumstances. He was just entering life,
being only twenty-three years old, and was a
printer by trade; but, at the time of his
death, was cultivating a farm, three or four
miles from our town. We are informed that
he leaves a wife and one child, whose be
reavement excites the sympathy of our whole
community.—Griffin Star.

interests better. A new war is impossible,
and as to a war of races, I do not believe in
it; the Southern negroes are not so reckless
nor so determined as those in St. Domingo,
and if ever the whites should take the initia
tive in such a conflict, the Federal army
would soon put a stop to it. • The pacifica

whatever occurs, the North, which has abol
ished slavery, decreed the political and so
cial equality of the blacks and whites, and
opened the South, hitherto closed to emigra

tunately circumstances should demand it.
Jealous of its work, the world will never per
mit it to be imperilled by any factious do
ings.”
HOW THE GENERAL PUNISHED HIS CHIDLREN.
Here the General was interrupted by Mrs,
Grant, who came iu the room,pleasantly tell
ing her husband that blaster Fred, quite a
hearty lad, a cadet at the West Point Military
Academy, who had been ordered that morn
ing by hi9 father to walk twenty miles with
out stopping, for unkindness towards his
younger 'sister, had been punished with four
more milts, because his mother had seen him
stop on the road to read a newspaper.
“Fred is somewhat wild,” said Mrs. Grant,
turning to where we were seated; “exactly
like his father when he was a boy.”
WAS GRANT A WILD ROY ?
“How do yon know that ?” said the General,
smiling.
“I have read it in the rewspapers, in the
Ledger, for instance, where your father, not
withstanding his love for you, does not seem
to spare you.”
“ Oh, if you read the newspapers, you’ll
bear beautitul stories about me!”
GRANT READS TIJE WORLD.
“ Yes, but you are, aiter all, not so bad as
the Democratic papers say you are, the World,
for instance, which you have just been read
ing.”
GRANT BLUSHES.
Saying this, Mrs. Grant patted her hus
band’s face, which made him blush like a
lover of fifteen.
MBS. GRANT.
Tbe lady of the “ next” President is quite
a graceful woman, who will know how to do
the honors of the White House with tact
and without affectation.
Our visit was at an end. The future hosts
of the White House took us by the hand,
saving; “We’ll see you again in Washington.”
• GRANT GETTING LAZY.
“How pleasant the country air is,” said
Gen. Grant while standing at the door and
contemplating the picturesque panorama be
fore his eyes.' “I should always like to be far
away from cities. It is only since I have
been here that I have commenced to ap
preciate tbe charms of country life. I am
getting quite lazy iff this place.”
GRANT HATES POLITICIANS.
You see that the Republican candidate for
the Presidency is not quite so taciturn as is
generally stated. Only he detests pro
fessional* politicians and formal speeches.
THE MAYOR OF GALENA.
We took luncheon in Galena, and the hotel
keeper introduced us to the Mayor of the
city, a stout, red-faced personage, who
seemed to have a very high opinion of the
importance of his functions. My companion
offered him the inevitable glass of whisky,
which he drank at one gulp, and upon which
followed an anecdote, with which I intend to
to conclude the letter..

aid hands. At half-past twelve the three
aicended the scaffold with a firm and steady
sfep. The Sheriff then read their death war-
ants. Jenkins and Whitns showed some symp
toms of dread and fear in their faces-when on
ihe scaffold—Jenkins particularly. He seemed
to be engaged in fervent prayer when not. in
’conversation with those who approached him on.
the platform. During the prayer ofR. Carter, the
colored minister, Jenkins prayed aloud arid fre
quently repeated the words: “Oh ! Lord, have
mercy upon me.” Gorman, so far as we conld
judge, manifested no fear whatever, and seemed
perfectly resigned to his fate. "Whitus seemed
to have sojae hope of a reprieve, though he did
not exfiicss it, and endeavored to consume time
h» calling up different gentlemen, policemen
and others, to converse with him. He wes bap
tized on the scaffold by Father Bezaine, who
then told him that he would die a Catholic. In
their last moments all three were attended on
the scaffold by Fathers Collanana and Bezaine,
and the criminals all died in the faith of the
Catholic church.
At twenty minutes to 1 o’clock, the caps were
drawn over their feces by the Sheriff, and the
signal given, when the drop fell and the souls
of the three men were, at the same instant,
launched into eternity.
The bodies of Jenkins and Whitus, when they
fell, were mu<A convulsed, and for a few mo
menta their struggles were violent and heavy.—

man of tho three, he was pronounced dead some
minutes before the other two. They hung for
about forty minutes when they were cut down
and placed in coffins.
Each of these men asserted their innocence
to the very last, and reiterated on the gallows
tbe same statements they made to us in their
cell, the evening before, and which we published
yesterday morning. They said on the scaffold,
that they died with no ill-feeling toward any
body, and in full hopes of a blessed immortality
after death. They said they knew their time to
die bad come, and that if they made a confes
sion of guilt when they knew they were inno
cent, they would go into the presence of their
God with a lie on their souls; (Jhat nothing
they could say would save them here, but they
wanted to be saved hereafter, and knowing
tbeir innocence, they would die asserting it.
Thus ends the record of their lives.
The testimony which convicted them was
direct and circumstantial, and together it was
so strong and indubitable, that there was no
escape from the punishment attached to the
awful crime of murder.
The execution was quietly and well conducted
by Sheriff Martin, and he discharged the pain
ful duty without excitement and in a cool and
deliberate manner.
The scaffold was erected by Mr. A. Chatfield,
and was admirably adapted to the terrible work
for which it was built.

A resolution by Mr. Delyon passed, tendering s
to the jail yard to witness the execution, and a
ment of the United States, aud the true prin
ciples thereof, were most appropriate, and
adapted to convey to the mind of the
thinker clearly the’lundamental doctrine of
the Federal Republic. The “nation of na
tions.” Mr. Stephens read for two hours,
bis clear, piercing voice holding up admira
bly. As he read, with his eyes on his book, a
stranger might have fancied he was listening
to some pale-faced youth reading the words
of the great statesman, but ever and anon, as
he closed his book, and by repitirion and
jesture sought to enforce the great truths just
read, the old fire beamed again in those
searching eyes—his emaciated form seemed
to grow as his voice rang out in clarion tones
the “certain sound” of constitutional liberty.
Would that every young man in the entire
country could read this work of Mr. Stephens.
Read, nay study it. for it gives not ouiy the
result of the deliberations of those of the
earlier fathers of the Constitution, but the
history of those deliberations—the circum
stances surrounding the case—what was
omitted, and wbv it was accomplished, and
wherefore. The work will become classic. It
will be a text-book in our colleges and school?,
nnd thus the men of the next geneiation
shall know more of the genius of the United
States Government, as it was, than many of
this day who saw it in its grandeur and wit
nessed its degeneracy.

Naturalization Frauds.—For a fort
night past Greeley and the Tribune have
been bolding up both hands in holy horror
about frauds to be perpetrated in Pennsyl
vania by the Democrats. The following
dispatch of the 8th from Philadelphia ex
poses their game:
Philadelphia, October 8.—Fourteen Radi
cals were held to bail yesterday for fraudu
lent naturalization. The extent to which
this rpecies of Iraud is being carried by the
Radicals of this city is beginning to excite
serious apprehension as to its effect on the
result of the election. Aud so well have
they played the role of “stop thief,” that by
the prostitution of the telegraph to their as
sistance they have made the impression
throughout the country, that these frauds
have almost been wholly attempted by the
Democrats. The ridiculousness of this will
be seen when it is stated that the authorities
ot the city, to whom application has to be
made for naturalization papers, are almost
exclusively Radicals, and play into the hands
ot their party.

A Virginia Product.—Gypsum, which,
under the name of plaster, forms so large a
part of tbe exports of Nova Scotia to this
country, for agricultural purposes, has been
discovered in Smythe county, Virginia. The
main bed is situated in what is called the
Cove, or Cove creek, a branch of the north
fork of the Holston river, about twenty-five
miles north of Wytheville, and fourteen
miles east of Saltville, the present terminus
of the branch of the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad. The quality of this plaster is
superior to any now known on this continent.
One ton of the Virginia is equal to one-and a
half to two of tbe Nova Scotia. In quantity
it is ernormous—it underlies hundreds of
acres in a compact body. A charter of incor
poration lias been granted by the Circuit
Court of Washington county to the Holston
Salt and Plaster Company, tor the manufac
ture of salt, gypsum and other minerals in
the counties of Washington and Smythe, and

to prevent the criminals from looking over the
picket fence at the crowd outside, and to pre
vent the crowd from knowing when the execu
tion was going on. The full police force of the
city was drawn up in front of the jail, to pre
serve order among the largo crowd of negroes
who had assembled in the streets and around
the premises to catch a glimpse of the proceed
ings inside tbe yard.
In disposing of this affair, we take occasion to
warn our colored friends of the terrible fate of
these men. They told us to say to you, that
they died innocent of the murder of Mr. Shef
field, but that they had not lived as honest and
upright life, and they desired us to tell you to bo
honest, faithful and just; to abstain from all
violations of law, all dishonesty, and especially
guard against the use of cards and whisky; to
cultivate feelings of friendship among each
other and toward the white people: to stop the
evil and dangerous habit of carrying pistols,
guns and knives. They told us, also, to express
tbeir hope, that you would heed the advice of
dying men, and by living a good and Christian
life meet them in Heaven. Think of what they
say to you, colored friends. It is good advice,
and if whites and blacks would follow it, tbe
world would be better and happier, and never
more would we again witness the awful spectacle
of hanging men for the murder of their fellow-
men.

They are good in the manure heap.

I wash the scalp substance out of the mane

The “social” or cotillion party given by this
Company in Eufaula last Wedifesday was a de
cided success, in spite of a heavy rain storm.—
The ladies commenced assembling about nine
o’clock, and were received by quite an assem
blage of Red Jackets, all combed up, shaved up,
polished up, and, in one or two instances, blacked
up, (with Upham’s be3t hair-dye,) in tip-top
style. The hall (Hart’s) far exceeds anything
we have in Macon, and would be a credit to any
city thrico the size of Eufaula. We noticed
among the throng a delegation from Young
America No. 3, of our city, who were received
with a “put through” in the very best style by
the “Cleburn fellows.” About 12 M., the Com pany
present were called to partake, in a side hail, of
a splendid supper, which covered two large ta
bles, and were both spread in excellent taste and
stylo, as well as palatable to partake of—tho
cakes, jellies, etc., being prepared by the ladies,
themselves, and thus were not only good to look
at, but good to eat, also, which is not always the
cas6. ,
