THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON, FRIDAY, MAY 28,. 1869.
Buying Bonds.
Secretary Boutwell, since about the lstinst.,
has been buying United States bonds with gold,
at the rate of about a million dollars per week,
and intends to pursue that policy bo long as the
Treasury receipts enable him to do it. This
plan of paying off the national debt is violently
assailed by sonm of the New York financiers:
but so would any other plan be attacked, for no
movement in this matter is possible which
will not tread on somebody’s toes. It certainly
appears to be a common sense idea for the gov
ernment to retire its interest’ bearing liabilities
as fast as it and buy up its own paper .not
due at the lowest market price. Most people in
debt and desirous to pay up would adopt
that identical policy. Let the government do
its best in the latter particular, and it will still
lose somewhere about fifty per cent, on the
consideration for which the bonds were issued.
The Southern Bacific Railroad.
The Montgomery Mail says the Mobile and
New Orleans railroad will undoubtedly become
the inital section of the great Southern Pacific
route and from thence Eastward, the line must
strike across to the splendid harbor of Pensaco
la, and thence across West Florida towards Fer-
nandina and Brunswick. There is now a rail
road from Fernandia and Jacksonville to Quincy,
near tho Apalachicola. If West Florida should
be ceded to Alabama, and State aid be granted
that road under the provision of the treaty, it
could be put through immediately to Pensacola
and Mobile. The result of this would be of
great value to the State of Alabama. Mobile
would at once secure every cotton bale she has
lost,and send it to Feroandina for transhipment.
The Georgia Central Road to Savannah would
be completely flanked, and Mobile would com
mence a new career of improvement, thereby
adding to the taxable property of the State.
Willing to Submit to Proper Arbitra
tion, but no Ilnmbng.
The London Standard of the 18th, in an arti
cle on the Alabama treaty, says that the awaiting
further expressions from Parliament and Con
gress commits the business to indefinite post
ponement. England’s sentiments have been
clearly pronounced. Sho is still prepared to
submit to a proper tribunal the question of
wrongs and damages; but any attempt to open
tbo controversy on preposterous grounds, what
ever the American sentiment may be, is absurd.
From this position England can not recede.
From South Western Georgia.
Mr. Jones, of Wootens Station, reports to
us that he has just seen the crops on the line of
the South western Railroad from Dougherty
county up. They are small and backward, but
generally promising and in fine condition. On
gray lands the cotton may have suffered a little
from the cold weather, but no indication of in
jury is visible on the red clay lands. The stands
are generally very good and the soil in fine con
dition. A ‘good com crop has been planted
which is looking well.
Negro Exodus from Virginia.
Richmond, May 19.—Owing to the extensive
• sales of land in small lota to white emigrants,
negro laborers are going further South for em.
ployment. Over 800 recently left. Hundreds
are preparing to follow.
A similar movement is reported from North
Carolina; and so it may be that white labor
competition in the Northern tier of the Southern
States may moke negro labor abundant in the
South and Southwest
The Postmaster of Bacon.
The appointment of the negro, Turner, to
the Macon Postoffice is one of those acts of
which denunciation is as superfluous as it will
be unavailing. Every white man in Georgia
will feel it to be an insult, and every sensible
negro will turn up the whites of bis eyes over
it Turner is a carpet-bag mulatto. He came
out to Georgia soon after the war, according to
common report, In the capacity of a Methodist
missionary, 'hut his chief employment in this
section has been that of a political drill master
among the blacks, under the orders of the cen
tral Radical organization in Washington. He is
a copper colored mulatto—say almost one-half
white, with considerable natural astuteness,
some smattering of knowledge, and a large
stock of assurance.
He. has managed to make a figure in the
scurvy politics of Georgia within a year or two
past, but if he has any material interest in the
State to the value of a dollar, we never heard
of it It is to such hands that Gen. Grant (so
tho dispatch particularly states) has consigned
one of the most important,post offices in Geor
gia. We shall not attempt to fathom tho views
of public or party policy in which such appoint
ments originate; but we shall be content to see
them work out their legitimate consequences in
Georgia. The administration may think they
can build up a party in that way, or can put
down “the distinctions on account of color,” by
forcing the whites into contact with negro
officials, and thus work out a grand social and
political amalgam. It is a conception worthy
of the Sumners and Creswells, but it is surpris
ing that a man of the world like Grant should
over fall into it. It is said, however, that the
President does not mean to confine these experi
ments exclusively to the South, but will insist
upon negro incumbents in tho other sections.
Well, the faster the administration falls the
sooner it will reach bottom.
Desperate Savages.—A little party of Indian
prisoners at Fort Hayes, Kansas, turned upon
their guards. The Chiefs were ordered to re
move in care of a guard, from the corral to the
guard room, when they gathered in their tents
and began the death whoop, and taking out their
knives, went; for the soldiers. Cardigan at
tacked the sergeant of the guard and was knock
ed senseless by a blow with the butt of a mus
ket. Sallio, a ferocious squaw, wielding a knife
tried to sheath it in the body of an officer, when
one of the guard shot her dead.
Big Head looked with scorn on the circle of
bayonets surroundinghim, and stabbed Sergeant
Hanson, dangerously wounding him in the back.
A guard shot him dead. Dull Knife tried to
stab every one near him, and he was pricked
severely by bayonets. He and Cardigan were
then disarmed and lodged in the gnard-house.
Friend Telegraph : The community notice an
infamous letter purporting to be published by
that most infamous cut-throat, Turner, stating
that Adkins, Ayer and Ashbnm came to their
ignoble deaths, not on account of their infamy
and violation of the black man’s “ bed,” but
because of their politics. The said cut-throat
said nothing abont the little girl who was killed
by a negro, near Yineville, for two or three dol
lars ; said nothing about the boy, poor George
Wilson, murdered at Battery 15, Savannah, by
a brutal negro, and said nothing about the bru
tal murder of poor Sheffield, at the Vineville
branch, by three villains, with hearts as black as
bis own. Bat tho cut-throat will deny writing
any such a letter, and will “ publicly ” wish the
newspapers in hell. x Humiliation.
Healthiest Cm South.—The Columbus Sun
says those who have investigated the subject
tell ns that a comparison for ten yers shows
that, according to the ratio of population, the
Lilia of mortality in Columbus are less than any
city in the United States, except Utica, New
York. This shows what a heathftil place we
have to live in. . - -
Orn Maryland exchanges continue to speak
hopefully of the growing crops in that State.—
The strawberries on tho Eastern shore, it is
stated, indicate a large yield. Wheat is looking
welL The prospect for peaches is also good, if
the frost does not kill them. This is a very
critical period for peaches.
Wheat is Minnesota.—Dates to the 18th from
St Paul state that reports from all parts of Min
nesota say that the. wheat crop never looked
more promising. A much greater breadth has
been sown than ever before.
It is stated that in the course of one fomight
recently, farm stock to the value of S30,000,
consisting of cattle, sheep and horses, has been
purchased in the neighborhood of London, on
Mormon aocount, for exportation to Utah.
THEFnExcn Election.—A Paris dispatch of
the 18th says that the election in the vicinity of
that city, is likely to result favorably to the op
position party, but the general result throughout
the country, leaves little hope for that party.
One of our friends, who is a little profane,
hen he heard of: Turner’s appointment, began
curse, but suddenly cheked himself, saying
ho would not be able to do justice to the sub-

The Cold Weather and Crops.
Tho coolness of the Spring is the subject of
universal remarks. It is so extraordinary that
everybody is looking for the worst accounts from
tho growing crops. Everybody says that wheat
and oats cannot possibly be healthy in such
weather. It must be that they will take rust
and mildew. Com, sir, can’t possibly grow with
such nights as we are having. Cotton is bound
to be lousy, sore-shinned and rusty. It will not
and cannot stand such' weather.
This is the talk, and yet the reports from the
plantations do not generally bear it out. Com
and small grains are in pretty fair condition.
Cotton is yet promising—it is not growing fast,
but generally speaking the stand fair and the
fields are in good order.
The fact is, a great deal better farming than
usual has so far been done this spring. The
farms are in far better order than common. The
soil has been much more carefully prepared for
cropping. We are pleased to add to this report
the universal testimony that the hands on the
plantations are doing better than last year, and
that really we do not bear the first complaint of
them or from them. The relations of labor and
capital—employer and employed—seem to be in
a very satisfactory condition, and we rejoice to
be able to make this statement.
But to return to tho weather—it is indeed ex
traordinary for this season. Tho average tem
perature of our nights cannot be much above
fifty, and the atmosphere in the shade is chilly
thronghout the day.
Crop Xews.
Banes Countt.—A friend says, the Athens
Watchman, writes U3 that the farmers in Banks
are doing finely so far as grain crops are con
cerned, bntthat cotton will be almost an entire
failure—the late’ cold weather having killed it
out to less than half a stand. We regret to
hear this. They are not without remedy, how
ever. It is not too late to plant com where the
stand of cotton is insufficient.
A gentleman who traveled across the country
from Banks county to Atlanta via Gainesville
-and Lawrenceville, last week,, vyritps to the
Athens Watchman of the 19 th, that along the
the road the wheat prospect is excellent
In some neighborhoods in this county, wo re
gret to learn, wheat has suffered some injury
from that old-time pest, “the fly.”
A writer from Dalton to the Constitution says
the wheat crop in that section is looking fine,
and farmers expect a much larger yield than
they have had since the war.
It seems to be tbe opinion of a majority of
farmers says tbe Rome Courier that therO will
not be more than half a crop of wheat made.—
The heads are unusually short.
In aome localities fruit is all killed, while in
other sections of the county there will bo a full
crop.
Tho Columbus Enquirer S3ys: Planters re*
port dead and rusty cotton. Com is said to be
doing well, and wheat and oats also.
International Congress of Societies
For Aiding the Sick and Wounded.
Editors Telegraph :—On the 27th of April tho
last sitting of the International CongTess of so
cieties for aiding the sick and wounded in war
took placo in Berlin. As soon a3 the members
were assembled, a telegram was addressed to
Miss Nightingale, who had, by sickness, been
prevented from beingpresent. The subjects pro
posed for consideration were of only subordinate
interest, snch as the position of the societies
with regard to the order of St. John, the neu
trality of the various mineral baths in Europe,
the founding of an International Journal, &c.
After a proposal had been brought forward
and adopted, that tho Conference should be
held alternately every two years in one of tho
countries in which central committies are exist
ing, Vienna was chosen for the meeting-place
of tho noxt Congress. . An announcement was
then made that the Prussian Central Commit
tee had offered a prize of a hundred Friedrichs
d’or, (abont $550,) for tho best treatise on the
most effectual means of affording voluntary as
sistance in sea-battles, to be based on the latest
experience in naval warfare.
Competitors will have to send in their essays,
which may bo written in German, French or
English, before tho first of May, 18C9.
The Congress was then dissolved.
The Queen and Crown-Princess of Prussia
were present at nearly every sitting.
It was a cause of universal regret that the
United States of America was not represented
in the Congress. A resolution was, however,
adopted that a report of the proceedings of the
Assembly should be forwarded to tbe American
Government. Jarno.

.. Memphis Convention.
Memphis, May 18:—The weather to-day-was
cool and pleasant, and everything conspired to
make the opening day of the Commercial Con
vention anspidou*. After assembling at head
quarters on Adams Street, a procession of dele
gates was formed, who marched, preceded by a
band, to the opera house, which was handsome
ly deoorated and festooned with evergreens and
flags. On an arch over the stage was inscribed,
“Memphis welcomes her guests.” On the right
and left of the stage were a miniature locomo
tive and steamboat. Underneath the latter was
suspended a section of the Atlantic cable.
Irfwig before twelve o'clock, the tqipointed
hour, the house was crowded with delegates and
visitors, who were , regaled with national airs.
Promptly at that honr the convention was called
to order by W. H. Cherry, Chairman of the
Memphis Chamber of Commerce, after which
an appropriate prayer was offered by Bishop
Pearce, of Georgia, which was followed by an
official welcome by Mayor Lef twitch, at the con-
< elusion of which Governor R. M. Patton, of Al-
I abama. was nominated by acclamation as tem
porary Chairman, and W. R. Moore, of Mem'
phis, as temporary Secretary.
On motion of Hon. Erastn3 Wells, of Mis
souri, a committee on permanent organization
was appointed by a call of States, the chairman
of each delegation announcing the name as the
State was called. On a call of States, the fol
lowing responded; North Carolina. Missouri,
Iowa, Alabama, Qhio, Virginia, Indiana, Mis
sissippi, Georgia, Arkansas, West Virginia,
Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Califor
nia, New York and Kentucky.
After the committee had retired, Hon. J. W.
Clapp, of Memphis, delivered the welcome ad
dress, which was heartily applauded. The Con
vention then adjourned until 4 p.m.
On reassembling in the afternoon, after some
discussion, the Committee on Credentials was
discharged, and on motion all who had received
invitations from the Memphis Chamber of Com
merce were declared eligible to seats on the
floor.
Mr. Trezevant, of Memphis, asked leave to
read a letter from from General Lee, which was
granted amidst tumultuous applause. He re
gretted his inability to present at the meeting
for the building up of the shattered fortunes of
the country, and expressed the greatest sympa
thy and interest in the movement.
The reading of tho letter was received with
renewed applanse. It was ordered to be spread
on tho minutes.
A committee of one from each State was then
appointed on permanent organization.
It was then moved that Senators Sprague and
Fowler, Gen. Halstead and Gen. Kirby Smith be
invited to seats on the floor. Carried.
Loud calls were made for Sprague, but it was
ascertained that he was not in the room, and, in
response to a call, Senator Fowler addressed the
Convention at some length, urging the import
ance of harmony and -fraternal feeling in the
work of tho Convention, and also the paramount
importance of the subjects to bo considered—
particularly, leveeing the Mississippi, reforming
the labor system of the South, and building a
railroad to tbe Pacific which could be used at all
seasons of tho year.
He then gave way to the Committee on Per
manent Organization, who announced the fol
lowing as permanent officers : General Charles
D. Anderson, of Kentucky, formerly Lieutenant
Governor of Ohio, Chairman; Erastus Wells,
of Missouri, General A. R. Lawton, of Ga.,
George H. Walters, S. C., W. EL Cherry, Tenn.,
Frank C. Morohead, N. Y., Gov. R. M. Patton,
Ala., Col. W. H. Gatewood, California. J. B.
Haldeman, West Va., George W. Sappingfon,
Arkansas, Dr. Taaf, Iowa, J. M. Reakirt, Ohio,
Hamilton Smith, Indiana. Warren Mitchell,
Kentucky, W. B. Isaacs, Virginia, Dr. J. A.
Noyes, Louisiana, A. M. Clayton, Mississippi,
Vice-Presidents; W. H. Fitch, of Memphis,
Secretary, and members of the press as assist
ants.
Governor Foote and Judge Williams, of New
York, were appointed a committee to conduct
General Anderson to the chair, who, after being
introduced by Governor Patton, returned thanks
for the honor, and touched upon the duties of
the Convention and the work before it, which
brought rounds of applanse.
After adopting a rule to meet hereafter at 9
a. m. and 3 p. m., tho Convention adjourned.
The city is full of strangers, and every train
arriving is crowded. Everything indicates a
harmonious Convention, as, notwithstanding
many antagonistic interests are to be subserved,
the best feeling prevails.
Annexation ot Wes* Florida to Ala
bama-
Tho Montgomery Mail of Wednesday states
tho conditions thus:
The items agreed upon are iu substance as
follows:. - i •-•, lit
1st. Conveys to tbe State of Alabama all tho
country in tho State of Florida lying we3t of the
Apalachicola River.
2d. Conveys to the State of Alabama all tbe
public lands in West Florida, which consist of
what is known as the Seminary lands, tho 10th
section lands, and swamp and overflowed lands,
amounting in round numbers to nbout 1,500,000
acres. These lands the State of Alabama takes
subject to the trusts now imposed upon them,
which trusts are for the benefit of West Florida
exclusively, for purposes of schools and internal
improvements. The State of Florida has author
ity to appropriate these lands for tho purposes
of the trust until the annexation is complete,
and guarantees the title to the State of Alabama
perfectly free and unembarrassed.
3d. The State of Alabama, upon the consum
mation of annexation, executes its bonds to the
State of Florida for one million of dollars, pay
able (within thirty years, at eight per cent, in
terest.
4th. Tho officers of West Florida retain their
offices until the expiration of their terms.
5th. The Governors of the two States shall,
within sixty days after the assent of Congress is
given to this transfer, issue their proclamations
declaring that jurisdiction over the ceded terri
tory has been transferred to the State of Ala
bama.
Cth. Relates to tbe jurisdiction of the courts
of West Florida, as it may be affected by the
laws of Alabama.
7th. A railroad from tho Apalachicola Riyer
to Pensacola, or to some point on the Mont
gomery and Mobile Railroad, shall be entitled
to the benefit of the endorsement law of the
State of Alabama, ($10,000 per mile.)
Stk. The Savannah and Gulf Railroad shall
not receive permission from the State of Ala
bama, within three years, to pass across the
ceded territory.
9th. This agreement has no force until it
shall have been ratified by competent authority
of the States of Alabama and Florida, and by
Congress.
Something over 1,200,000 acres of tho public
lands mentioned in the second item, are swamp
and overflowed lands and internal improvement
lands, which were carefully selected, and are
said to be very valuable.
The State of Florida receives five per cent, of
the proceeds of the sale of all Government
lands within its borders. This per cent, upon
the Government lands in West Florida is trans
ferred to Alabama.
Under an imperfect revenue law, the rev
enues realized last year from the teritory pro
posed to be ceded, nmounted to $31,000. A
more perfect law would have brought, perhaps,
$50,000. But as it was the rate of taxation of
Alabama being higher than that of Florida, tho
sum realized under our laws would have been
abont $30,750.
The area of the counties of West Florida is
10,000 square miles, with a shore lino on the
Golf of Mexico of about 180 miles. Their pro
ductions are cotton, corn, rice, tobacco, sugar,
molasses and lumber. Besides Apalachicola
Bay, which is very much like Mobile Bay, there
are three others harbors of note in West Flori
da, viz.: Pensacola, the most commodious on
tho Gulf, and easy of approach and entrance by
vessels drawing 24 feet water; St. Joseph, and
St. Andrews, both excellent harbors, and acces
sible by vessels drawing 16 feet.
Information Desired from Southern Pojio-
logists.—The Fruit Committee of the American
Pomological Society, at its recent session in

tion:^
Resolved, That the Secretary (F. R. Elliott,

Southern Fomologists snch information as will
enable.tho Society to prepare the Southern sec
tion or division of the Society’s. Catalogue, and
that such information be transmitted to him
before the next meeting at Philadelpliin.
To Cube Bund-staggers.—The foil owing cure
for the “ blind-staggers” is said, by Gen- Biamp-
ton, to be infallible :
“Measure a stick from the nostril to the inner
comer of the eye so as not to have it too long;
sharpen well and run it up the nostril, twisting
it around once or twice, so as to moke the nose
Lleed freely, and it will give instant relief. This
remedy is so simple—the material being always
in hand—that we consider it invaluable to farm
ers and horsemen.” f, • / <
\ Gen. firont as President.
FroaI (lie Nrw York IVorW.l
Since twelve o’clock on March 4 th, 1869,
Mr. Grant has, in characteristics, been wholly
another sort of man than he was in any
of his previous relations. In classification
he should, I think, be called the Leaning
President, for he has in every act reposed
on some one- for assistance, direction, and
support. He leaned upon Senator Morton
when he wanted the tenure-of-office law re
pealed. He then leaned on Mr. Conkling when
he accepted the modification of the law. He
leaned on Mr. Washbume in the original draft
of his Cabinet. He leaned on the Foreign Re
lations Committee of the Senate when they.told
him to nominate Mr. Motley to England. He
leaned on John A Griswold and Jackson S.
Shultz when ho nominated Mr. Jay to Vienna.
He leaned on Mayor Bowen in making tho
Washington appointments. He leaned on the
politicians when he selected Mr. BoutweD. He
leaned on Senator Fenton in nominating Gen
erals Merritt and Cornel, and on the Union
League in nominating Mr. Grinnell, and on
Horace Greeley in commissioning Postmaster
Patrick Jones. He leans on General Banks in
reference to Cuba, and for some time has been
leaning on Mr. Sumner in reference to our Eng
lish affaire.
Indeed, in every act which has been done by
the President he has_ leaned upon somebody,
and, unfortunately, like most men who do not
move, but who are moved, be has been cursed
by bad helpers. In this city, where the admin
istration is enacting, the personal aspects with
which every incident, every determination and
every appointment is invested become real and
graphic to the eye. What at distance seems an
executive act is here known to be a Banks act,
a Fenton act, a Sumner act, according as tbo
case may be. This suppression of the individu-
ality of Jha President is attributed here to three
things ftbrutter civil inexperience of the Chief
Magistrate, his sensitive and exaggerated idea
of tho intricacy and delicacy of Ins duties, and
his unconditional surrender to the furious onset
of the politicians, which they made upon him
after his merely verbal assumption of independ
ence in his inaugural. Consequently, at this
period the President receives really more sym
pathy than criticism, now that his self helpless
ness is so well understood, and the remorseless
servitude iu which he is held appreciated. It
almost passes realization to seo the contrast be
tween the energetic, self-contained General and
the badgered, headless, exhausted, confined
President. The pitiable plight of General Grant
is a complete argument supplied to all novices
against allowing greatness to be thrust upon
then. To become the comedy which he is, even
to tie heartless humor of the party he plays for,
tho tragedy of his past has been made by com
parison truly awful and heart-rending.
LOOKING AHEAD.
Seeing what a drifting, purposeless adminis
tration it is, tho more sagacious men of the par
ty aie intent on trying to make capital for it ul
timately, (in time for 1872,) by sinking the re
collections and the scandals of the detailed acts
beneath the eclat which is to be caught in one
or tvo general successes for which they are la
boring. Tacitly, to Mr. Fessenden, Mr. Bout-
well, Mr. Morton, Mr. Trumbull, and Mr. Fish,
have been committed tho mines which are to be
sprang during the last years of the administra
tion. Mr. Fessenden is Chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations. Ho is to
work to cut down the estimates of the appro
priation bills, so as to run the government as
cheaply as possible. He is to play the econ
omy card- The Secretary of tho Treasury, by
hook or crook, is so to fix matters as really or
ostensibly to provide for a resumption of specie
payments, and a reduction of the taxes
wi.hin his term. He is to play the debt-
decreasing, corruption-smashing, hard-money
canh To Mr. Morton is assigned the odor
ous task of taking the negro out of pol
ities. His now condition of reconstruction,
thit the excluded States shall ratify(?) the fif
teenth amendment is to be played by him os the
equal rights card. Mr. Trumbull, Chairman of
th* Judiciary Committee, is to have the Consti
tutions of the reorganizing States to pass upon
prior to their admission. These the kindness
of his own nature and the policy of tho party are
considerably to eliminate of their proscriptive
cast and bias. His is to bo the amnesty-card.
Ml Fish is to settle, if possible, onr Alabama
claims, and to watch the shade of Manifest Des
tiny and Monroe Doctrine, so that at tho ripo
moment Canada and Cuba can be annexed by
the general or procured wishes of their people.
Besides, by having robust integrity and conceded
sense, as well as culture and gifts, ho is to be
retained as the solitary oasis in tho most Desert
Cabinet ever convened in this capital. These
gentlemen will labor assiduously and intelli
gently to be up in their parts. If they succeed
the whole fa to be called “ general results of the
administration,” and on these “ general results”
will the .administration go before the country
with a'grett blare for re-election, in 1872.

What Coolie Labor Can Do.
At last the people of this country are com
mencing tp awake to the imminence of the im
pending labor revolution, consequent upon tho
completion of tho Pacifio Railway. The ap
pearance of the Mongolian petticoat on tho
streets of the Eastern cities has provoked
an examination, and an excitement akin to
alarm is l'tpidly spreading in regard to impend
ing invasion. All agree that Coolie labor is tho
cheapest in the world, and wherever it goes
must rise in the ascendant. It also has been
discovered that its intelligence has hitherto been
greatly underrated. Among other accomplish
ments, it has built ^he Pacifio Railway, tunneled
the Sierra Nevada, graded and paved the streets
of the California cities, usurped all employment
belonging to women, such as chambermaids,
dressmakers and washwomen, set types for the
newspapers, driven out the French cooks, su
perseded white labor in shoemaking, tailoring
carpentering, ship building, running steam en
gines, cigar making and butchering. In short,
every trade and mechanical profession has been
rendered unprofitable to white labor wherever
the Coolie has appeared, as he always does in
droves.
Low as we have been led to regard tho wages
in England and France, they aro princely in
comparison with what tho Coolie will work for.
"What the white and black races throw away he
will grow rich upon. This accounts for the
rapid progress of manufactures and agriculture
in California, as well aB for the suffering grow
ing out of the bitter feelings entertained toward
the Chinese. "We axe now called upon to under-
jo the same experience, but need not fear it,
or where the cities will suffer to somo extent
the country will open like a blooming rose and
march with giant strides toward that prosperity
which is now only the dream of the more hope
ful. Of one thing we may be assured in ad
vance of this Asiatic invasion, that the old
American boast that our operatives wero the
best feed, best clothed and best paid in thb
world, will soon be a reminiscence of tho post.

not of both in 1844. Ttys reply of the Southern
Bishops does not entertain the question of the
reunion of the two bodies under one jurisdiction
as previous to the separation in 1844. It asserts
that fraternal relations must first be restored
before, if at all, such a proposition can be en-
tained. These fraternal relations cannot bo re
stored except on an overture by the Northern
General Conference, upon the basis of the plan
of separation of 1844, implying nn abandon
ment by the General Conference North of the
whole ground assumed in the General Confer
ence in 1848, at Pittsburg, which assumed that
the separation was a schism and secession upon
the part of the Southern Church, and implying
also that the aggressions, as charged by the
Southern Churches should cease. The South
ern Bishops also deny the statementthat slavery
was the cause, and assert that it was only tho
occasion of the separation in 1841; that it sim
ply was the subject which occasioned the asser
tion by the Northern members of the General
Conference of 1844 of authority to legislate up
on secular questions and concerning the civil in
stitutions of the country.
Negroes Going Westward. -On Monday last
about forty negroes, consisting of families and
persons, who were bom free, passed through
this city, on the M. <fc C. Railroad, bound for
Arkansas. They were from Burke county,
North Carolina. We conversed with one of
them, an old man, who seemed to be the
patriarch of the company. He told us that they
could get plenty of work in North Carolina, but
it was not sufficiently remunerative, and they
were seeking a country where they coiild get
better pay for their labor.—Huntsville Dem

Tire Boston Peace Festival.
When we all first heard of Mr. Gilmore s
peace festival, we all laughed. His cannon, his
bells, his chorus of twenty thousand, his mam
moth orchestra, all seemed incredible; his sixty
anvils seemed incredulous. Some shook then
heads, and said he was crazy; some winked
knowingly, and suggested a colossal swindle;
some got angry about the matter and swore;
but the general publio laughed.
Now, however, the gnu which spread from
Maine to the Mississippi is gradually fading
away from the publio countenance; this know
ing wink has died out, and is replaced by large,
round eyes of wonder. The heads have stop
ped their significant nods, and the entire thirty-
seven States are looking anxiously towards
“little Boston” to catch the echo from the stu-
peuduous musical event she is about to inaugur
ate.
The fact is, that the jubilee is going to be a
good thing. The immense building that is to
hold the audience of fifty thousand, is rapidly
going up; the vocal societies throughout the
length and breadth of New England are hard at
work at the grand choruses, drilling in squads
of twenties, battallions of hundreds, and regi
ments of thousands; the whole community has
suddenly become vocal, and the mightiest cho
rus that ever was gathered together is soon to
be heard among us. How will they sing ? Can
there possibly be any unity or precision of time
in such an immense mass ? Will tho effect be
soul-inspiring, or simply ear-splitting? Will
there be any music about it, or wilt it be merely
a great bewildering chaos of sound ?
These are the questions that are now asked,
and which cannot be answered till the 15th day
of June. We have our donbts about the can
non, our serious misgivings about the bells, and
are nearly hopeless on the anvil question. But
there is a might and majesty about the human
voice when heard in great choral masses more
deeply moving than any other sound, more
majestic than Niagara, more terrible than the
roar of avalanches, more awe-inspiring than

Remarkable Prophecy.
From the New York Jftyr—i.J
Some six years before the Federal Constitu
tion was adopted, a remarkable prophecy was
uttered under the following related circum
stances :
“In 1780, Henry Laurens, former President
of the Continental Congress, was sent as Minis
ter to Holland. On his way he was captured and
imprisoned in the Tower of London for fonrteen
months. When Lord Shelburne became Pre
mier, Laurens was brought up on habeas corpus
and released. After his release, be dined with
Lord Shelburne, when tbe conversation turned
on the separation of the two countries. Lord
Shelburne remarked: * I am sorry for your peo
ple. ’ * Why so ?’ asked Laurens. * They will
lose the writ of habeas corpus,’ was the reply.
‘ Lose the writ of habeas corpus ?’ said Laurens
in astonishment. * Yes,’ said Lord Shelburne;
‘we purchased it with centuries of wrangling,
many years of fighting, and had it confirmed by tious Eeaso _ TJntil the uresent .

ANOTHER-MEMBER OF THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE

DRIVES.
By telegraph to the Tritune.]
Atlanta, May 16.—Reliable information re
ceived hero announces the murder, some weeks
ago, in Jefferson county, of the Hon. Alexander
Stone, ono of the expelled members of the
Georgia Legislature for the same county which
Dr. Ayer represented.
Last week the colored man who drove the
carriage of the Hon. Joseph Adkins when that
gentleman was nssassinated, having received
intimations that his life was in danger, fled
from Warren county, but when near Thomp
son’s Station was met and murdered by a band
of Ku-Klux.
The “Hon. Alexander Stone,” in this case, is
one of the members of tho Georgia Legislature
disqualified on account of color. If he is
“murdered” the information has not reached
us. We believe the dispatch is a pure fabrica
tion.
The Crevasses.
New Orleans dates of the 18th state that a
break had just occurred in tbe grand levee in
the Parish of Fointo Conpie, half a mile above
the repairs jnst completed, at great expense, of
tbe crevasse which has flooded so large a portion
of West Louisiana the last two years.. The pres
ent break does not threaten to do so much dam
age as the previous one, the levee being some
distance from the river’s edge, and the water at
the break being only six feet deep, though 150
yards wide ; but from tbe high stage of the wa
ter, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to dose
it for some time to come. The work on ViUiere
crevasse, in St. Bernard Parish, has been aban
doned as hopeless. The break is now several
hundred feet wide and of great depth, the water
sweeping uninterruptedly back to the lakes.
The Macon correspondent of tho Baltimore
Sun thinks Macon is a lovely place. (Truth.)
Hear him:
Tho city of Macon is one of the handsomest

way in Baltimore, its houses generally surround

blocks, its soil sandy, its sidewalks shaded with
trees, and its entire aspect exceedingly pleasant
to a stranger who has come from the narrow,
brick-lined thoroughfares of Baltimore. The
people are courteous and intelligent, and its op
portunities for enterprise good.

Laurens, eighty-eight years since, has simply-

imprisoned without- trial, tried without jury,

A Juvenile Romauce.
From the Springfield tlepublicaa.]
Two children who worked in one of the Chi
copee factories, Eli Goodro, fifteen years old,
and Louisa Stebbins, fonrteen, fell downright
into love so deep that they determined, with an
utter contempt of consequences, to go and get
married, as grown folks do. Chicop.ee and clerks
and clergy very sternly and sensibly refused to
grant marriage certificate or ceremony, where
upon the decided youth came to this city and
obtained both. The Palmer Journal says the
civil sanction was obtained from the City Clerk,
and the religious from the Rev. Dr. Ide. At all
events, they were successful in their visit, and
started for Thomkike, there to spend the honey
moon until Louisa’s parents should forgive
them. They got as far as Palmer on Wednes
day evening, and spent tho night in the depot—
certainly a very elegant bridal chamber. But
on Thursday morning the parental Stebbinses
bore down upon them ere the Thorndike craft
hove in sight, and captured outward bound ad
venturers. They wanted to separate the bold
babies, but though Lousia, disheartened by tho
meagre outset of the voyage, was willing to
baud off, Eli remarked defiantly that they had
been and gone and done it, and what did they
mean to do abont it ? Impressed by his view of
the case, and by the advice of a Palmer justice
to make the best of it, tho parents relented, and
conveyed the precious pair home, triumphantly
happy. But we shouldn’t like to have the re
sponsibility of sanctioning the absurd transac
tion.

family about the first of June. We are pleased
to leam-that he is delighted with the South, and
we have little donbt that the favorable account
of our country and people which he carried back
to his Northern home will indace many others to
“cast their lot among us.” Let them come, as
many as will, of the right kind, and they will find
afeeap lands and comfortable homes among us.

heavy loss to the town. Mr. John Keough, who
was sleeping in the building at the time, barely
escaped the flames, somo of the clothing which
he had on having caught fire. Everything was
destroyed. The loss is estimated at about $5000
