Tlie Fence Question.
We should be glad to reprint the views of onr
Georgia contemporaries generally npon' the
question of dispensing with field fences, but
just now are much pressed for space. The
first and only article we have seen against the
proposition is copied from the Columbus En
quirer on the outside. We have no opinions
on the subject which we value as personal pro
perty to the amount of a ginger cake. The
question is simply one of sound economy, and
it is for planters and landholders to decide. The
objections of the Enquirer have their weight,
and there must be considerable inconveniences
in adopting such a change ; but they do not at
all compare with the benefits to accrue. We
have not a line's space, however, to argue the
matter.
Feats or the Few Office Holders.
Black. Wilder, the Ethiopian Postmaster of
. Columbia, S. C., being unable to spell out the
packages, is sending his mails round miscellane
ously, just as it happens. He chucks them into
any bag which happens to be handy; but that
would have made no difference if he had not
mismanaged with a remittance on the way to
“Governor Scott.” This was fatal and raised a
muss. If Wilder can’t get a white man to man
age the machine he has got to resign.
Whits.—Clift, according to the Republican,
lately cashed a 8200 Postoffice order with 8100
which was good measure. When the citizen
said a mistake had been made, Clift’s assist
ant, Seely, took fire and would hear of no correc
tion. The citizen had left the desk with it, and
it was too late to correct mistakes. The next
day Seely begged revision, but by that time citi
zen had taken the studs and found it too late to
.correct mistakes.
Georgia—tlie Matter Brought Down to
a Focus—All Depends on Hoar.
The New York Tribune’s Washington corres
pondent, telegraphing on the 7th, gives this
startling information:
Since the adjournment of Congress, the Pres
ident has been importuned, time and again, by
citizens of Georgia representing all political
parties therein, to take some action which
would definitely settle the present status of that
State. The Senators of the State never having
been admitted to qualify and take their seats,
and her vote for President not having been
counted in the Electoral College, it has been as
serted by many that she is not a State in the
Union, but remains an unreconstructed State,
the some ns Virginia, Mississippi and Texas.
This condition of uncertainty has led to many
embarrassments among the State and Federal
officials of Georgia, and has led the President
to submit the whole matter to the Attorney Gen
eral for a legal opinion. If Air. Hoar should de
cide that the State is not a State in the Union,
according to the reconstruction laws of Con
gress, then, it is thought, the President will
have the same power there that he has in Vir
ginia, Mississippi and Texas, and will recognize
Georgia as having only a Provisional Govern
ment
If that is true, we might as well begin to
pack for a trip out of the Union, for our confi
dence in Attorney General Hoar is of the least
Crockery and Preserving Jars.
B. A. Wise, Mulberry street, advertises a
really large assortment of crockery at whole
sale and retail, and a timely supply of the best
variety of preserving jars. These admirable
contrivances for the thrifty house-keeper will
soon be in great demand, and there never has
yet been a full supply of them in Macon through
the fruit season. We recommend all to secure
what they need.
Crops in Houston County.
Messrs. Editors :—A recent trip enables me
to inform you that the crops in Houston coun
ty are promising. Cotton is backward, but
looks healthy and flourishing, and is beginning to
grow finely. The “stand” is generally very
good, and when manured with guano, is very
promising.
The freedmen are working well, and keep the
crops very clean. I saw no grass worth men
tioning. The com looked well, but was also
somewhat backward. It begins to need rain
very much.
The gardens are suffering much where no
rain has fallen lately. Taken altogether, I
think the fanners in Houston have flattering
prospects. *
On Hand Again.
The Atlanta telegrapher to the Washington
Chronicle, et id omne genus, is on hand again,
as we see, and telegraphs on the 7th to the
amount of half a column. If he should hap
pen, by mistake, to telegraph anything true, he
would die of grief and shame.

seems to trouble our friend of the Savannah

versy.
Shooting in Jaceson.—A private dispatch
from Jackson, Mississippi, says that Colonel J.
G. Crane, of the United States army, acting as
Mayor of Jackson, was shot and killed by E. M.
Yerger. The affair grew out of the action of
Colonel Crane in seizing property of Yerger’sfor
taxes. Yerger haB been arrested by the mil

Logan, as the head of the “ Grand Army of
the Republic,” takes npon himself the respon
sibility of pronouncing the fiat of that organ!
ration, that the Confederate dead shall not be
honored. That is the nltra-radical decision.
Therein outcrops the moral and political postu
late, that “ treason [as displayed in the rebel
lion, so called] must be made odious!" That
was the universal Radical outcry, so soon as the
roar of the cannon and the roll of the drums
were hushed. “Treason must be made odious.”
The Confederate traitors, dead and living, must
be engulfed in infamous memory.
This is the point underlying not only the con
troversy about floral grave decorations, but also
the whole series of legal proscriptions and dis
qualifications upon which the Radical Congress
has been engaged since 1S65,'plunging the coun
try into disorder and pecuniary distress, and re
versing every principle of sound and constitu
tional administration, in order to brand the
“Southern Rebels” with moral infamy.
Against all these efforts we rely with calm
confidence upon the verdict of history. The
landmarks of the late melancholy sectional quar
rel are too plain to be arbitrarily stamped out of
the intelligence and common sense of America.
We, the Southern people, are not moral trai
tors and the Radicals cannot make us so. We
were raised to believe ourselves citizens of States
which had formed a common government strict
ly upon the principle of consent. That our al
legiance was dne to our States and not to their
creature and agent. That we had a legal and
moral right to protect ourselves against ruinous
agression from a combination of the States by
withdrawing from the Union, and we attempted
to exercise that right simply for self protection
and in no purpose to injure the States which
remain.
That the war originated solely in tJ0B effort to
restrain and prohibit the exercise at tfeis right,
and that, in fine, in the whole transaction, there
was no moral treason on our part whatever; but
a strict and true conformity to the obligations
of law and allegiance as we understood them,
and as they had been uniformly interpreted to
us by the venerated founders and exponents of
the American federative system.
This is and must ever be history. No glosses,
perversions, or falsehoods can cover it, and no
fanatical pronnneiamentos or partisan strife
can prevent honor to the illustrious dead who
died in full conviction of duty and patriotism.
In the light of events we have ceased to quarrel
with those Northern ideas, either of the prop
erty rights of the South, or of the powers of the
States, which brought on the war. Let them
stand. But certainly there is no jnstice in the
attempt to settle our moral attitude and respou.
sibility by principles and doctrines to which we
never assented, and which the whole previous
political history of the government belied. It
cannot be done, Mr. Logan. You may stamp
on the flowers, but you can’t grind history into
oblivion.

Military in Warren County.
If the friends of Peace and Order in XVarren
county will pursue a proper and judicious course
in the present emergency, we have no doubt the
result of the existing fuss will be highly bene
ficial to that county. They might protest
against the unconstitutionality and injustice of
military arrests and military trials, (if they are
proposed)—they might display immense indig
nation and excitement; Jbut it would all be
fruitless.
Let them take things as they are and do their
best to elicit the whole truth in reference to
the violences in that county, with an equal de
termination neither to shield the guilty, nor to
permit the innocent to suffer if they can help
it. Let them, therefore, co-operate with the
military in the frankest and fullest investiga
tion of the offences charged and in the detection
of the offenders. This is due to their own in
terests, and it is due to the State which has suf
fered from these difficulties and disturbances.
We have no doubt the military are inclined
to act fairly and justly in the premises. We
don’t believe they will side either with one par
ty or the other in these proceedings, if the intel
ligent people of Warren will not commit thefolly
of standing aloof and allowing these representa
tives of the Federal Government to be manipu
lated at will, by the representatives of radicalism
and the private feuds and animosities of un
worthy individuals.
We say nothing, therefore, to excite indigna
tion in this matter. That is precisely what the
Warren people should curb and restrain. We
say, on the contrary, lay aside fuss and fuming
and pitch into the whole matter with the mili
tary, determined to get at the bottom of it, and
determined that the United States Government
shall not be wielded in the interests of injustice
and wrong, by unworthy and unscrupulous par
ties, through the ill-advised and culpable inac
tivity and reserve of the people of the county.
Help yourselves, by good management in this
matter, just as you would not fail to do if you
had a large property interest dependent upon
If your right to your property were chal
lenged and endangered in this way, yon would
not fail of doing your best to protect it, although
you might object to the tribunal. You would
not stand aloof in stupid listlessness or offend
ed dignity and see the ears of the court poison
ed against you by rascals, while you did noth
ing for yourself!
Just so here. Take hold and do not permit
injustice and folly to be done, just because
Chap Norris or anybody else has brought down
the military npon you. You have just as good
right to the ear of the military as Chap Nor
ris has, and can get it, if you will, a hundred
times better.
Fonr Outlets to the Sea.
The Augusta papers announce, as things set
tled and provided for, the completion of the Ma
con and Augusta Railroad and a railroad from
Augusta to Port Royal on the Sea board. The
whole will be accomplished within a year, and
will open up, with what we now have, four out
lets from Macon, more or less direct to the Sea.
We shall have almost a straight line to Port
Royal, Charleston and Brunswick, and a less di
rect line to Savannah. The difference in dis
tance by eitherroute to New York will, perhaps,
be immaterial as affecting the actual cost of
transportation, although that by the way of
Port Royal will probably be by about fifty miles
the shortest route.
With the completion of these four routes wo
may therefore count upon such moderate rates of
freight as shall materially increase the facilities
of the Macon merchants for an active competi
tion for the trade of the interior, while, at the
same time, Macon, as the radiating point of
these four grand competing routes, and the ac
cessible centre of a vast cotton growing region
should naturally be one of the most active and
extensive cotton and produce marts in the whole
Southern country.
Let the Macon and Memphis Railway be
pushed onward, as it promises to be, and cer
tainly the map of the United States will disclose
few more commanding points for an active trade
than this central point of Georgia will then be.
Let our business men and property holders then
wake up, for day is breaking.
A dispatch from St. Joseph, Mo., says Fred

Wheat to the Acre—Crops in North Georgia

fairs in MiUedgcville. \
Milledgeville, Ga., June 9, 18C9,
Editors Telegraph : A recent hasty visit to
the western portion of Hancock county gives
me an opportunity to say that the crops in that
se ction are progressing satisfactorily. Just how
in that region, and also hereabouts, we are suf
fering from protracted drought; but cotton tad
com are 6tfll growing well, and maintait a
healthy, promise, for the future. The writer
hereof can boast of numerous “squares” on
cotton. Wheat crops are undergoing harvest
ing, and the promise for a reasonable yield is
good. It is to be hoped that more attention to
the cultivation of wheat in Middle Georgia Till
be excited. The crop will pay if well cared hr.
Here in Milledgeville, near the depot of (he
Milledgeville and Eatonton Railway, a lot of
about an acre, belonging to Mr. Kiel, has jist
been cut The land has no very extraordiniry
superiority of quality or cultivation; yet I
think the yield cannot fall short of thirty bush
els. By careful and wise—I will not say scien
tific, for that in its usual acceptation, is not
always wise—by careful and wise cultivation the
product can be increased. Would it not “puy”
(as the phrase is) for each farmer to lavish
manure on a few acres annually for Meat, and
thus produce his own flour? The policy of
producing torn sufficient for home consumption
is, I believe, fully admitted, after abundant
demonstration by both theory and experience—
although full results are not yet always realized.
Your correspondent has been something of a
wanderer of late. He has had opportunity of
observing, within the past three weeks, the
crops alongsome of the railways leading through
Northern Georgia, North Alabama, Middle and
Western Tennessee, Mississippi and Eastern
Louisiana. The general promise is good, but
tardy. The lateness of the season and contin
gent tardiness in crops, are widespread and gen
eral. Yet the plasters are not discouraged.
The culture appeared to be good except in a few
fields of Northern Alabama and Louisiana, where
our “man and brother’ seems tohave ‘fallen back’
—afamousstragetic measure in war—before bris
tling armies of weeds. We observed, a week
ago, in Middle Tennessee, cotton and com crops
almost or quite as much advanced as we saw in
Southern Mississippi and Louisiana. This was
the result of general lateness of the season which
seems to have assimilated the climates of differ
ent latitudes strangely this year. In New Or
leans, the grand magnolia trees were in foil
bloom, and tliB Orleaners flashed their feme-
colored floweis in every direction; and here we
find the some floral exhibition, as we did also a
week ago, in Nashville, Tennessee—a remarka
ble illnstration of uncommon uniformity of sea
son in these different latitudes. v
Milledgeville has just experienced a sensation.
A vdbeipedist has appeared among us. Already
the little walking wagon is the rage. Your cor
respondent has just been vaccinated, and hopes
to escape the infection. He dodged the croquet
epidemic in that way.
The talented young Photographer, J. L.
Schaub, from your city, is still among us. His
career here has been eminently successful. His
pictures give great satisfaction, and he is kept
continually busy. His specimens show that he
reads the latest scientific productions on this
rapidly improving art, and that he practices
successfully all the latest improvements. Were
you to see his picture of your correspondent, I
fear you would fall in love with it, and make
yourself unhappy.
In fact, not only in velocipcdism, and the fine
arts, but in every ether interest, our tough little
city, determined not to be killed off by any
amount of Radical persecution, “still lives.”
We bave a confident hope of the return of the
seat of government hither, sooner or later.
Georgians have too high a perception of justice,
and too acute a one of their own interests, to
neglect this. The deserted and silent Capitol
Building and Executive Mansion plead with re
sistless eloquence the wanton extravagance of
the removal. Still, Capital or no Capital, we
are prospering. No department of business
flags. Our merchants are driving a profitable
trade. A new building goes up here and there,
and the hammer of the carpenter is often heard
in repaira, Our largest hotel in the State, the
Milledgeville Hotel, is admirably kept; no ho
tel in the South better. In its airy basement
the thirsty wayfarer may get “half-shaved,”
without the penalty of a headache the next
morning; and, if he is tonsoriallyinclined, he
can get completely shaved, and served in all
the departments of the art, by the accomplished
barber, in the same building, Robert. Heath.
Our press is yet ably represented by those ster
ling weeklies, the Federal Union and the Re
corder. ... Mac.
Letter from Jasper County.
Crops — A “Likely" Family of Negroes —
Freedmen— White Laborers.
Near Monticello, June 9, 1869.
Editors Telegraph: Up here we are all doing
as they did before the flood—marrying and giv
ing in marriage. Fonr or more “cases” are
on hand, this month, in Monticello.
Cotton is looking very well, with a fine stand
and first rate cultivation, up to this time. Com
is flourishing, with a splendid dark-green color,
and prospects are bright for a beautiful crop,
where there has been much of it planted. But
I am sorry to say, there has been a good deal
more cotton than com planted in old Jasper this
year.
A good many of our farmers have cut, or will
be catting their wheat this week. All appear
satisfied with the yield.
There is a negro woman now living in Jasper
county, and bom and raisep here, who has given
birth to thirty-three children, and twenty-seven
of them are now living. Her name is Eveline
Brown, and her present husband, Levi Brown,
is the father of thirty-one of these children.—
This old couple worked out in the field last year,
and I think they are doing the same thing this
year. The freedmen generally, are working
well, but the white laborers are doing badly. A
great many of the latter are leaving their crops
just now—“can’t stand the sun,” I suppose.—
A murrain on the lazy creatures. Hick.
Prolific Wheat.—Our attention was attract
ed some days since to a few rows of wheat in
Mr. F. O. Shockley’s garden. Mr. Shockley
purchased one head, a year since, from an itin
erant vendor and planted a few rows in his gar
den ; each seed has produced fifteen to twenty
stalks and each stalk has made a number of
heads, at least it has tho appearance of having
numerous heads; but, upon close examination,
it proves to be but one, having two hundred or
more seeds. It is a bearded wheat, grows very
luxuriantly, and we are satisfied will grow suffi
ciently high upon any land to allow of being
reaped. We think it is just the wheat for our
climate, the beards are easily disposed of by
the thresher, and its excessive fruitfulness and
freedom from rust make it, at least, worthy of
trial.
We understand that the seed of this wheat
will be for sale. We shall try it.—BarncsviUe
Gazette.
Wheat in Rome.—The Courier of Thursday
says:
Though red wheat is worth only $1 25 in this
market, yet it is considerably higher here than
in Nashville, Louisville, St. Louis and other
places in that direction, where the price now is
from $1 00 to 1 10.
Country bacon, hog round, now commands,
from wagons, from 16 to 17 cents.
New wheat will probably open at $1 50, but
the expectation is that it will soon decline from
that figure.
The Railroad Convention.
From (he Chronicle and Sentinel and Conetitutionalut.
In accordance with the call published by the May
or of Augusta, through the direction or the City
Council, a meeting of the stockholders of the Macon
and Augusta Railroad Company was held at the City
Hall yesterdav evening at one o’clock. The object
of the Convention was to displace those Directors
who it was alleged illegally represented the stock in
the road owned by the city of Augusta and also to
provide means for finishing the road to Macon, its
destined terminus. There was not a large body of
stockholders present, but it was believed that a
large amount of stock was represented by proxy.—
Still, however, before the Convention assembled,
fears were entertained that a majority of tho stock
would not be represented and that, consequently,
tho meeting would fail to accomplish the purposes
for which it was called.
The meeting did not assemble for some time af
ter it was called, owing to a meeting of the Direc
tors of the Georgia Railroad, which had to beheld
before the Macon Road stockholders could hold
their Convention.
At a few minutes before one o’clock the Conven
tion was called to order by Hon. H. F. Russell,
Mayor of the city, who was called to the Chair on
motion of Mr. J. J. Cohen. Dr. J. A. S. Milligan was
requested to act as Secretary.
Mr. L. N. Whittle, of 3Iacon, wished to know the
object of the meeting, as he had not been informed
of it.
Mr. Tutt said the meeting was called for a spe
cific purpose, and he thought that that purpose
ought to be stated to the Convention.
Mr. Sibley said that terms for the completion of
the road to Macon had been submitted by Judge
King, which did not meet the approval of Council,
and hence the Convention had been called in order
that these terms might be submitted to it. and if
they were found unacceptable, that some other ar
rangement might be agreed upon. There were also
said to be certain parties in the Directory of tho
road who had no right to be there.
Mr. Moore moved that the amount of stock rep
resented by members of the Convention be ascer
tained.
Mr. Whittle said the meeting, according to the
charter of the company, could take no action which
would be binding upon the Board of Directors. He
saw no reason for ascertaining the amount of stock
represented, as the action of the Convention was
worth nothing in a legal point of view. What it
might do would be merely advisory. The Directors
alone had the right to call a meeting which would be
legal.
Mr. Moore renewed his motion. At any meeting
the stockholders might alter the by-laws if they so
desired.
Mr. Cohen thought Mr. Moore's motion was un
necessary, as any one could see from the stock
list that a quorum of the stock of the road was rep
resented.
Sir. Moore changed his motion so as to instruct
the Secretary to call the roll of stockholders and
ascertain the number present, and the amount of
stock which was represented.
On motion of Mr. B. T. Harris, of Hancock, the
motionof Mr. Moore was amended so as to require
the stockholders to report themselves and their
proxies to the Secretary.
After this was done, the Secretary reported that
eleven thousand one hundred and thirty-seven
shares were represented in the Convention.
Mr. Tutt moved that tho Secretary read a list of
those Directors who were owners of stock in the
Company. Carried.
The Secretary read, Benjamin Conley, President,
ten shares; J. P. King one hundred and five shares;
Geo. Hazlehnrst ten shares: W. Shear thirty-five
shares ; 31. H. Welbom ten shares; those who did
not own any stock were W. J. Mtgratli. who repre
sented the stock owned by tho South Carolina Rail
road, B. B. DeGraffenreid, who represented the
stock owned by Baldwin county, and Geo. S. Obear,
who represented the Macon stock.
Alderman Sibley asked if any of the Directors had
resigned recently.
The Secretary answered that Blodgett, Tweedy
and Levy had resigned.
Mr. Clark moved that the proposition of Hon.
John P. King to finish tho road, be read for the in
formation of the Convention. Mr. King had ex
plained it to the City Council, but he thought it
would be best now for him to furnish the same in
formation to the meeting.
General A. R. Wright said he understood the Con
vention was called by the owners of the road for the
purpose of examining into its condition with a view
to its early completion. Previous to this meeting,
Mr. King had submitted certain propositions to the 1
City Council, which the latter rejected. The meet
ing was called in order to have tne road completed
at an early day. This was not a political meeting,
nor was it called to prevent the construction of the
road as had been charged. At the time the meet
ing was called the Directors who represented the
city were not legally representatives. There was
some discrepancy, he thought, between the proposi
tion as explained by 3Ir. King, the proposition as
explained by one of the Executive Committee and
the report of the Executive Committee, which he
would like to see explained. He hoped 3Ir. King
would read his proposition.
BIr. King said there was no discrepancy that ho
knew of between the report of the Exeentive Com
mittee and that of himself. Ho thought the city
ought to feel an interest in the road, a3 it was a
largo stockholder. He reviewed the history of the
road frojn the termination of hostilities up to the
present time. The general outline of the proposi
tion was that JesBup & Co. should receive five thou
sand shares of stock, and all tho assets of the Ma
con Road, consisting as follows:
660,000 Macon city bonds at SO 643,000
33,000 Baldwin county bonds at 70 23,100
40,000 So. Ca. Railroad bonds at '80 32,000
370,000 M. & A. bonds, endorsed by
Ga. R. R., at 90 330.000
30,000 cash collection from stock
holders 30,000
225,000 City AugUBta bonds at 80 180,000
5,000 shares of stock' at 33 165,000
hat the Dii ect ore be requested, with the concurrence
of the City Council of Augusta, to confirm the con
tract as read, provided the right to redeem the stock
to be issued of *6500,000 be reserved to the Macon
and Augusta Railroad Company, or they failing, to
the municipal corporation of Augusta, to redeem at
40 cents on the dollar, within twelve months from
the completion of tho road.
Gen. Wright thought the better plan, considering
the interest manifested by Mr. Whittle in behalf or
Macon,for the completion of the road under the prop
osition submitted, would be for the oity of Macon to
subscribe 6160,000 additional, which would prevent
the necessity of a sale of stock.
Mr. Whittle rejoined that the 6100,000 subscrip
tion of Macon was all that the city could do under
present indebtedness—6360,000—a large amount
lor a small city.
On a call for the question, 3Ir. Moore's substitute
was unanimously adopted, and the meeting ad
journed. . , *
Total 6803.100
and assume all liabilities, which were as follows
Due to Jessup & Co., New York 6100,000
Due the C. B. R. for freight 12,000
Due the Georgia Railroad 40,000
Interest on bonds 42,000
Sundries 7,800
Total 201,800
Jessup & Co. would expend the following amounts
in tho construction of the road:
JohnT. Grant & Co., Contractors to re
ceive 6360,000
Twenty-six hundred tons of iron rails 221,000
Railroad chairs and spikes 22,400
Salaries of engineers and officers 10,000
Total 6603,400
If the road had the cash on hand it could bo built
for about fifty thousand dollars less than this
amount. Under these circumstances tho Executive
Committee thought these termB were the best to be
obtained,and it was better to acceptthem than tolet
the road rot for want of means to finish it. His in
terest and that of the Georgia Railaoad were inci
dental with that of the Macon Road, and if he had
made errors they were honest errors. He proposed
this arrangement because he believed it to be the
beet for his own interest and that of the city of Au
gusta. The safety of the road depended upon its
completion to Macon. A proposition had been made
to build the road upon its own bonds endorsed by
the Georgia Road. This was not practicable, as he
did not believe the Georgia Road would consent to
the endorsement.
Mr. Sibley asked Judge King to read the proposi
tion made to him by the City Council of Augusta
for finishing the Macon and Augusta Railroad.
BIr. King read the plan of tho City Council, which
was that bonds of the road to the amount' of six
hundred thousand dollars shonld be issued and en
dorsed by the cities of Augusta and Macon, and the
Georgia and South Carolina Railroads, upon which
it could be built. Mr. King thought the Georgia
Road would not give the endorsement, and that this
proposition if accepted wonld involve a fatal delay
In consummating the arrangement, and was, there
fore impracticable. The other proposition wonld
furnish cash and allow the speedy completion of the
work. While the Jessup proposition was the best
possible under the circumstances, the Convention
need not accept it if it was disagreeable, bnt he felt
bound to say that he thought no more favorable
proposition would be ever offered.
Mr. Hazlehnrst gave tho estimate of Grant A Co.
for finishing the road (not including iron, etc.,) to
Macon, as follows:
1,250,000 yards of excavation, at 17 cents
per yard 6212,600
20,000 yards of rock cutting at $1 00 per
yard 20,000
Grubbing 5,000
Masonry. 20,000
Crossties 40,000
32 miles of track laying 16,000
Repairs and regrading 16,000
Total 6329,500
On the word of an experienced engineer he assur
ed them this was a low estimate for the work. He
told the Convention of his expedition to New York
to get aid for this road, of the reception he met
with from Messrs. Kefcham, Dabney, Morgan & Co.,
and other large capitalists, and their refusal to aid
him. He said that finally he succeeded in getting
Jessup A Co. to do it on the terms proposed above,
provided lio became a party to the contract. Ho
had refused to do this until advised to consent by
Judge King. Ho was willing to give to the road
every dollar he made from the contract. He thought
this the only chance offered to complete the road, and
if it was not accepted he wonld have nothing more
to do with it. The Convention, however, could act
as it thought fit in the matter. After some discus
sion between the Speaker and Mr. Hazlehnrst, as
to the best manner of building the road, -
BIr- Whittle offered tho following resolution:
Resolved, That the Board of Directors are re
quested to complete and carry out the plan of con
tract submitted to this meeting as now under nego
tiation with G. Hull A Co., and others, for tho
early completion of the road to Macon.
BIr. Whittle supported his resolution in an earn
est and comprehensive argument, demonstrative of
the advantages of accepting the proposition of Hull
A Co., and pointing ont the unfavorable contingen
cies of an adoption of the views of the City Council,
proposing a sale of tho assets of the road. That
the estimated value of the assets'was in excess of
what could be obtained on the market.
Hon. Linton Stephens favored the- arrangement
for the redemption of the 6500,000 of stock to be
issued.
Mr. Henry Moore offered the following resolution
as a substitute to BIr. Whittle’s resolution:
Heavy Roebery The Perpetrators Discovered
and a Portion of the Property Recovered.—On
the night of the 27th of April last, a trank was stolen
in Atlanta from the residence of Mr. Peterson, con
taining jewelry, dreeaes and other valuables to tho
amount of seventeen or eighteen hundred dollars.
The trank belonged to a Miss Lizzie Thompson, and
since it was stolen, until within the last few days,
no cine could he found to the perpetrators of the
robbery or the whereabouts of the trunk and con
tents.
It will be remembered that on one day last week,
Capt. Simpson; of our city police, accidentally met
up with two negroes on Walnut street and attempted
their arrest, but both escaped, and in his efforts,
assisted by officers Wood, Hurley, Pridgen, fcm-
brew and Stephan, and also by Mr. Bomar, of the
Atlanta police force, to arrest the negroes after
wards, the trail was struck which led to the identifi
cation of the parties who perpetrated the Atlanta
robbery and the recovery of about twelve hundred
dollara' worth of the stolen goods.
When officer Bomar, of Atlanta, read in the Tel
egraph of the Walnut street incident, it occurred to
him that these two negroes might be implicated in
the robbery alluded to, and he immediately came to
Macon and joined onr police in their efforts to ar
rest them, and whilst on the hunt, and knowing the
kind pf goods that had been stolen, they came up
with a negress, Mary Russell, on Bridge Row, in
this city, who had a pair of pearl ear-rings, which
had been made from two of the links of a pearl
necklace. She was made to tell where she got them,
and in doing so. she implicated J6ny Manuel. Jer
ry was then arrested, and he acknowledged the pos
session, at one time and another, of a lot of jewelry
he had received from two negroes—Wiley Thomas,
alias Redding, and Lewis Travis. These two
are the negroes Capt. S. and force wore after,
Travis being the one that has so frequently been
taken for Bob Wagner, and the one, too, who has
perpetrated so many vfllainieB around town. Jerry
said he received this jewelry in payment of board,
and he told how and to whom he bad disposed of it.
The parties were called upon and made to disgorge,
and the following articles were recovered:
One beautiful pearl necklace, valued at 6600, but
badly broken apart; two gold and one pearl bracelets,
valued at 6150; one diamond ring, worth $300,
which was sold to a white man for 63, hut which, he
says, he has lost. He will, of course, have to produce
or pay for it; and two very fine silk dresses, worth
at least 6125. These goods were scattered here and
there through the city, and the officers bad an all
day’s tramp on Tuesday last in hunting them up
as directed by the negro Jerry, whom, we are re
quested to say, is not suspected of any criminality
in the matter, and frankly divulged all be knew
about it.
There remain of the stolen goods to be recovered
a beautiful and costly set of mourning jewelry,
consisting of jet mounted with diamonds and val
ued at 6500, and a lot of valuable laces and other ar
ticles of a lady’s wardrobe. These articles, however,
were not brought to Macon, but were sold in At
lanta, and enough has been learned about them to
lead to their recovery.
The whole affair has been well and adroitly man
aged by the officers having it in hand, and they de
serve much credit for the energy and industry they
have displayed in following up the complicated and
tedious manccuvrings of two shrewd scoundrels who
llave had a month or two the start of them. The
rascals are still at large, but if they stay above
ground in this State they are bound to bo caugbt.

The Velocipede Race.—An immense crowd as
sembled at Huff's Rink yesterday afternoon to wit
ness the velocipede race for three silver goblets,
offered by the liberal and spirited proprietor, to the
youths of the city who oould make a circuit of the
rink in the shortest time. The ladies were out in
their beauty and bloom in great number, and many
who were a little late in reaching the rink, were
forced to return home for want of even standing
room where the race could be seen. Mr. H. informs
us this shall not be the case again, as he is going to
enlarge the ladies’ department immediately. Bat
to the race.
There were three classes of youth that contended
for the. prize. One for hoys under 15 years of age;
another for those under 17; and the third for those
under 20. The following summary will show the
entries in each class and the time in which the cir
cuit was made. The first and third class were al
lowed two trials to test their speed, as follow:
First Class—Under 15.
First Trial. Second Trial.
W. H. Boifeuillet, 24 a 23% s
Robt. Saulsbury, 28% 8 24% s
Christian Farmer, 22% s 23% s
Second Class—Under 17.
Henry North, 21 a On the tie run
Walter Johnston, 21 s On the tie run
22% s
23% s
23% s
Third. Class— Under 20.
First Trial. Second Trial.
P. B. Griffin, 21% 8 22 s
Albert Knight, 20% s 22 s
Joseph G. Wilburn, 21% s 22 s
From the foregoing it will be seen that Master
Christian Farmer was the winner in the first class;
Master Henry North in the second, and Albert
Knight in the third class. As each of the victors
was named by the Judges, Mr. Huff presented him
with a beautiful silver goblet, with a blue ribbon,
and he made the circuit of the rink with the prize
attached to the lever of the machine, and amid the
most deafening cheers. It was an interesting and
exciting scene, and the boys who participated in it
will make the occasion an era in their lives.
At the conclusion of the race, Mr. Joe Dasher, an
expert, made the circuit (185 yards) in 19% sec
onds.
Messrs. W. H. Hulbert and W. McLendon then
started on a mile run, but as the latter was on a
new and hard running machine, he retired after the
fourth round, and Mr. Hulbert kept on to the end
of the mile, making it in the very short time of
three minnteB and forty-six seconds.
Everything passed off well and pleasantly, and we
have not seen finer sport in a long while.

Stop That !—We are informed that one of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad contractors, in trans
porting a number of convicts from Atlanta to their
place for labor on that road, intentionally or other
wise dropped two female convicts in this city, when
passing through on Wednesday night last. They
are white women and had been sentenced to the
penitentiary for a short term; but as they were dis
eased, and therefore worthless as laborers, it is pre
sumed that they were purposely left behind. They
were arrested by our policemen and placed in the
guard-house, to be sent back from whence they
came.
Contractors in hiring convicts are required to take
them at a certain price, just as they come, men
women, boys and girls, and it is clear that they not
unfrequently get hold of several customers, as in
this case, that do not pay. But we submit that it is
an outrage to take these worthless vagabonds from
their confinement and scatter them through the
country. So far as tho two women above alluded
are concerned, we hope our authorities will send
them back to the point from which they started, and
if no one can be fonnd to receive and confine them,
then release them right there and let them scuffle
for a living in a community that would palm them
off on this. We hope Railroad contractors will not
leave any more such characters about Macon. She
has as many as she is able or willing to look after.
The Turner Tournament.—We were reliably in
formed yesterday, that the mulatto, Jeff Long, was
making up a pony purse for the purpose of paying
his expenses to Washington, to look after the Pres
ident’s reasons for withdrawing Turner’s appoint
ment, and, perhaps, to rebuke the President for do
ing so; as Jeff, is impudent and self-conceited
enough to rebuke anybody or anything that does
not conform to his bigoted notions generally and
his ideas of government particularly. Jeff., we
were informed, was to have left last night, and if
he did, we hope the President will pnt a flea in his
ear, in regard to Turner and himself, that will si
lence them for a season.
By the way, what great fools these negroes are,
that will give their hard earnings to such fellowB as
Turner and Jeff. Long, to be squandered in tripe to
Washington and the North. They had better throw
their money in the fire.
Another Race.—The race which came off last
Saturday was not at all satisfactory to the owner of
the Jones county Scratch, and as he believes the
race track is the only place in this town where he
can get his money back, be has challenged the own
er of Kate Spears for another race, and it has been
accepted, and will come off to-morrow afternoon at
four o'clock. A quarter dash will be made for a
6500 purse—6250 a side—between the six-year-old
stallion, “Felix McIntyre,” and “Kate Spears.”
There will be no flying the track this time. * Those
who left the track with empty purses and in such
disgust on Saturday last, will have an opportunity
to-morrow to make others do a little of that same,
or hopeleBBly sink their bottom dollar.
Horse-racing is very fine Bport, but like many
other things on this mundane sphere, » “mighty
onsartin”—you bet; but bet on the fastest horse.
Returned—Judge O. B. Cole returned from
Washington, by the evening passenger train, on the
Central railroad, yesterday. His report is merely
confirmatory of his telegram to a gentleman of this
city, on the evening before he left Washington. His
visit was entirely successful, and he believes Tur
ner’s appointment to the Macon Postoffice, is irrevo
cably set aside. He does not know, positively, who
will be our Postmaster, but expresses a firm belief
that Mr. Washington will be retained in bis present
position.
We axe glad to Btate that Judge Cole returns 2h
good health, and is looking well, though he is alittle
f atigued from the effects of the long trip. Our citi
zens owe him a mighty debt of gratitude.
Wheat.—We were shown a letter from Chattanoo
ga yesterday, and from a very reliable source, sta
ting that the wheat crop of. Tennesee this season is
a most abundant one and of a very superior quality.
Planters are offering very liberal terms to dealers,
and a heavy decline in the present price of this grain
is confidently expected, within the next fortnight,
should the weather continue favorable.
Oats.—For the first time in this market, that we
remember, oats and com were retailing yesterday
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting at the same price—$1 15 per bushel.
Arrested.—A young man was arrested in this
city yesterday afternoon and lodged in the guard
house, under the following circumstances:
He came to this city yesterday morning on the
train from Atlanta, and registered his name at the
Brown House as A. Austen, Louisville, By., After
breakfast he called at the foundry and iron works
of J. 8. Schofield, and presented to that gentleman
a letter of credit which purported to he from one
Jno. B. Davies, “Washington Foundry,” Louisville,
Ky. This letter referred to the bearer as * ‘my son,
Rees Davies,” and npon it Hr. Schofield, at the re
quest of the young man, endorsed adraftnpon Jno.
B. Davies, of Louisville, for 675, and upon this
draft the young man obtained the money at one of
our banks. On separating from Mr. S., Davies
went to the hotel and took dinner, and in a little
while after Mr. Schofield called to take a ride with
him. In ref erring to the hotel register before Davies
made bis appearance, BIr. S. noticed that there was
no name answering to that which the young man
had given, and he began to “smell a veiylarge sized
mice.” When Davies came in, Mr. S. called his at
tention to the register and demanded an explana
tion. It was given, bnt it was not at all satisfacto
ry. The advanced money was then demanded,
which washanded over, and officer Ferrell was called
to take the gent in hand. He was placed in jail,
and at his reqnest a telegram was sent to Louis
ville, to one A. Dent, in which the prisoner request
ed Dent to endorse and identify him. Dent replied
that he did not understand the telegram. This
looked very suspicious, bnt the prisoner still assert
ed his ability to exculpate himself.
We called on him in the afternoon, and from our
interview we are certain he ie well posted in Louis
ville affairs and knows many business men of that
city. He is about 25 years old, five feet six or seven
inches high, dark complexion, black hair, nearly
black eyes, sports a small, black mustache, and will
weigh 135 or 140 ponnds. This description answers
very well except as to height of stature, to the de
scription of a partner of Hoffman, who rebbed
Adams’ Express in Baltimore, on the 19th nit., of
$16000 in bonds apd money.
Davies says he registered his name as Austen, be
cause he played the villain with a respectable girl
in Kentucky, and had heard that her father was
pursuing him, and by this means hoped to elude
him. A warrant will be sued out against him for
swindling. He will be held until he is identified,
and makes a better showing than he has thus far
mad9.

Shot by Mistake On Thursday night last, about-
10 o'clock, the notorious negro burglar and thief,
Lewis Travis, was seen near the Macon and Western
railroad track, just back t of the Findlay foundry,
and officers Charley Wood and Henry Ferrell wentout
in that direction to arrest him. In a short while
they came nearly np with a negro named Gas Davis,
who very much resembled Travis and was dreseed
almost precisely like him. Officer Ferrell called to
Gus and commanded him to halt; but he refused
to do so, and endeavored to get into a ditch which
crossed under the railroad and by which he could
have made his escape. He was halted a second
time and told that he would be shot if he did not
stop, just as he was in the act of leaping into the
ditch. He refused, however, to obey, and Ferrell
then fired, the ball taking effect in Gus’ arm near
the elbow joint and ranging down the arm, without
breaking a bone, nearly to the wrist Gus then
stopped, and it was discovered, to the regret of the
officers, that he was not the negro they were after.
Gus was taken to Dr. Hall who cut the ball ont of
his arm, and, as no bones were broken,- it will soon
be all right
Moral—When you are halted late at night by an
officer, and are conscious of having done nothing
wrong, stop, instantly, and let him know who you
are. If, on the contrary, you are a rascal, and are
willing to risk your life in an attempt to escape,
then run like the d—1 when you are ordered to etop.
To run is an evidence of gnilt, and an officer so con
strues it
“Green Corn or Horn” Potato.—Jtr. Local:
With my compliments, permit me to make you a
present of a nice mess of Irish potatoes. Though
not the first of the season nor of the largest variety.
I hope you will find them of a different variety to
any you have yet seen. They are known as the
“Green Com or Horn” potato, and were not raised
in Yineville where such things mature earlier and
grow larger than in any other portion of the coun
try. If you are charitably disposed, you can show
your generosity to great advantage by sending one
or two of these potatoes to the very particular friend
of Green Com or Green Horn—so called. And I
wonld send one also to old Father Noah’s ticket
agent by this friend—I have forgotten his name—
as he will find it good and strengthening to weak
stomachs, and more wholesome and easier digested
than that early com of the stump-tail variety.
A Friend of Green Corn.
Macon, June 11,1869.
With the foregoing “hit,’ 1 we received a basketful
of very large, fine Irish potatoes, tastefully con
cealed under many of the sweetest flowers of the
season. In addition to the palatable present and
accompanying flowers, doubtless from some fair
friend, she enters the arena in our defence, and very
skillfully turns the keen blade of onr senior,
gives him a home thrust in return. She has our
most earnest and sincere thanks, with the hope that
her path of life may ever be strewn with such flow
ers as she has thrown upon ours. When their beau
ty shall have faded and their fragrance wasted, we
shall still cherish them in memory’s vase as a con
tribution from the hand of a fair friend in a time of
need.
