Memorial Volume of Hon. Howell
Cobb.
We have seen come of the proof sheets of the nes "
Memorial -Volume of General Coibb, how pass
ing through the press of J. B. Lippincott & Co.,
of Philadelphia, and edited by our townsman,
Rev. S. Boykin. Judging from appearances,
and from what the editor tells ns will be the
character of the Volume, we doubt not that the
• book will be alike creditable to the,publishers,
and to the lamented dead. If willbe gotten up
in Lippincott's best style, in large, clear type,
elegantly bound and enriched by two capital
steel engravings of General Cobb, one of which
it from a photograph taken just previous to his
death. Asyetthe.publishershavenotannounced
the size and price of the Volume; but those
items will be given in due time.
The contents of the volume will be varied and
interesting, and will be composed of the ad
dresses delivered in honor of Gen. Cobb at Ath
ens and Macon; of the sermons delivered at
the funeral; the able sketch by Hon. E. A
Nisbet; an interesting communication concern
ing the last moments of Gen. Cobb, by Bishop
Beckwith, , and various interesting communica
tions from distinguished individuals—all volun
tary tributes from friendly hearts.
The proceedings of the Bar, in various parts
of the State, are given, and all is throwntogeth-
. ex in a manner that makes the volume one con
tinued whole.
Orders for the book may be sent to S. Boy
kin, Macon, Ga., and if any particular style of
binding is desired that may be stated.
We feel certain that each of the many friends
of Gov. Cobb will desire a copy of this work,
because of its intrinsic value and on account of
the admirable likenesses it will contain. We
have seen a private letter from the Publishers,
in which they say: “We will be answerable
for the elegance of the book, and think you will
• be satisfied when we are done with it.”
Keep Qntet.
The Savannah papers should keep quiet about
their green turtle soup—crabs, terrapins and
such like. Why do they wish to annoy country ,

The Spanish Regency.
The-Spanish Regent is said to be over seven'
ty years of age. He bas been a liberal for the
last twenty years, and was exiled in 1854 for
being concerned in a rising at Saragossa. He
is not a republican, and his position between the
republicans on one side, and the legitimists and
Bourbonists on the other, will givehim an uneasy
and perilous berth. The new government, has
however* given notice in the Cortes, that it will
tolerate no question or opposition. The minis
ter of the interior has proclaimed that cries for
a republic in the streets will be considered and
punished ns an offence. Prim declared in the
Cortes that the . government must be inflexible
and even .trad in . repressing disorder. The
frolic in Spain is therefore over for the present;
but Serrano is too old to promise a long regen
cy, and probably his advanced age may have
had a good deal to do with the selection. It
wa3 perhaps a compromise between rival as
pirants who .preferred to await the chances of
another deal which, in the order of nature, can
not long be deferred.
From tbe Eternal City.
The Rome Courier, of Tuesday, says the sup
ply of wheat still continues inadequate to meet
the consumption of the mills, and a good article
of red wheat would now command §1 GO in the
market. The Courier announces a public meet
ing next Thursday to make arrangements for an
agricultural fair on the 1st of November next.
Sales of Lands in Cedar Yaxley.—The Cou
rier has heard, from an authentic source, that
Mr. Wm. Peek, living two miles from Cedar-
town, in Polk county, has sold two hundred and
fifty acres of his home tract, with very indiffer-
. ent improvements on it, for twenty-five thou
sand dollars, or one hundred dollars per acre,
and that he was negotiating with another party
for the sale of an additional two hundred end
fifty acres, of the same place, without improve
ments, at eighty dollars per acre. These are the
.highest prices we have heard of any farming
lands selling in Georgia.

The Advertiser, of yesterday, chronicles a

Monroe Female College Commencement oc
curs JulySd. Rev. George E. McCall, of Haw-
kinsville, preaches the Commencement sermon;
Hon. 'C. Peoples the literary address, and CoL
A. D. Hammond the address before the Alum-
ntean Association.
Mb.Eaelt Cleaveland, of Monroe, gathered
.sixty bushels of white wheat off of two acres,
and took off the prize of $25, which he de
served. The Advertiser says : »
The wheat crop of this county is generally
conceded to beroore than an average one, and at
present prices will prove quite remunerative to
those who planted largely.
The wheat crops of Upson, Pike, Jasper,
. Jones and Bibb, are all reported to be excellent,
and farmers appear io be well satisfied with tbe
harvest.
Thecotti and cotton crops are very promising.
The beneficient seasons which farmers have had
recently have pushed com and cotton to their
utmost, and prospects are now more promising
than ever, if that were possible.
It is estimated that the wheat and oat crop of
Butts, for the year, will double any harvest since
-the dose of the war. If other sections of the
State have done as well—and reports are very
encouraging—Georgia will greatly diminish her
importation of breadstuff's.
Mr, Holland informs ns that he gathered thirty-
three bushels of wheat from one acre of land.
This is probably the best single acre of wheat
in the county, and is a little ahead of any of our
friends in Southwest Georgia.
On Friday night last, three fine mnles were
stolen from a plantation in Monroe, between
Forsyth and Indian Spring. On Saturday, the

Don't Want to be hit by the Pieces.—The
New York Sun (Radical authority) explains Mr.
Seward's trip to San Francisco, Alaska and Ja
pan as follows:
“ Before starting on his present tour he stated,
very explicitly, that within a year there would
be a break-up of President Grant’s administra
tion, which he pronounced the weakest admin
istration the country has ever had; and he as--
signed as one reason for going away that he
wished to be as far away as possible when the
break-up takes place.”
We judge from Mr. Seward’s trip, that he
thinks the collapse will be violent and the pieces
fly a great ways. •

The Court declares intermarriages between
whites and negroes null and void and makes the
parties indictable. It affirms the existing pro
visions of the Code of Georgia upon this sub
ject, and that the declaration of the Constitu
tion that “ The social status of the citizen shall
never be the subject of legislation,” absolutely
denies to the Legislature the power to pass laws
compelling the two races to unite in social inter
course, and permits the proprietors of churches,
theatres, railroads, steamboats, hotels, stages,
etc., eta, to make their own provisions regula
ting the classifications, accommodation, seats,
etc., of negroes.
We consider this decision of much importance
to the people of this State, inasmuch as it will
deliver us from all those vexatious controversies
which are arising in other States to the great
embarrasment of tbe people, and the damage of
common carriers, publicans and showmen, who
are frequently put in awkward dilemmas and
harrassed with lawsuits for consulting the sim
plest laws of propriety. If this decision is not
over ruled by the United States Supreme Court
under the so-called civil rights bill, we shall es
cape n great deal of trouble and discord grow
ing ont of the prevailing war of the Radicals
against reason and nature. The negroes will
acquiesce in a segregation which they know to
be right and proper, and which, to the most of
them, will be more agreeable than the attempt
to crowd themselves among the whites.
On the other hand, we think something is due
to negroes from the common carriers in Geor
gia, since the former are now restricted to infe
rior accommodations. The old system of half
fare ought to be restored. It should never have
been abolished. Half fare is enough for the ne
groes, if they axe required to confine themselves
to a second class car.

From Brunswick.
The Brunswick Appeal of Saturday chronicles
the reception in that city, on Tuesday, of a dis
tinguished delegation from Eufaula, consisting
of Hon. E. S. Shorter, Major L. F. Johnston,
Dr. P. D. Baker, Messrs. Wm. D. Cox, Wm. H.
Bray and T. J. Perkins. They came at the re
quest of the city authorities and business men
of their city and surrounding section, for the
purpose of officially examining into the merits of
Brunswick as a port and outlet for their section;
to learn the exact status of the great railroad
enterprise known as the Brunswick, Albany and
Eufaula Road; and to form the acquaintance of
the business men of the city they hope soon to
be connected with over this route.
The party were entertained as guests of the
city of Brunswick, were shown the harbor and
surroundings in a tug-boat, and personally as
certained the depth of water by lead and line.
The Appeal says that at a meeting on Thursday
night, Hon. E. S. Shorter, spokesman of th*e
delegation, expressed much delight and satis
faction with Brunswick and her people, prom
ising a good report upon the return of the del
egation. The Appeal adds;
Mr. S. gave a few facts of interest to our peo
ple, in reference to the construction of the road
from Eufaula to Montgomery, of which he is a
leading spirit; assuring us that every thing at
their end of the line would be completed in am
ple time, and expressed toe most feeling inter
est in the early commencement and completion
of our road, which would finish his connection
on toe shortest possible line to a good Atlantic
port. He demonstrated that the people of his
portion of Alabama and beyond, would naturally
ship over this route, for toe best of reasons—it
would be their most expeditious and economical
route to an eastern outlet. Although they now
had choice of two “rainbow routes” to Savannah
they were not content; they wanted a direct
line to Brunswick, and must have it. They had
always shipped via Apalachicola, but toe com
pletion of the railroads transfered their entire
business to Savannah, and the completion of
the Brunswick, Albany and Eufaula road would
again transfer it, and this tone to Brunswick.
He continued in this encouraging strain at
some length, closing his remarks by extending
toe hospitalities of Eufaula to toe Mayor and
Aldermen, and toe citizens generally of Bruns
wick
On Friday toe delegation took another trip
and examined toe lower portion of toe harbor
and bay. The Appeal says:
During this pleasant and delightful trip, they
witnessed nineteen feet measured at low water,
on toe shallowest portion of the Brunswick bar,
and five fathoms in the bay. This fact, had
they been in donbt, would have made them
strong witnesses as to our bar and harbor capac
ity, and that we have all toe water we claim.
A landing was made on St. Simon’s Island,
at the plantation of toe late Hon. Thos. Butler
King, where the pleasures of toe morning were
diversified in toe enjoyment of those delicious

nificent estate.

patch dated the 18th:

The Supreme —«it of Keeping Poor.—The
Sun noticing the farmers’ wagons carrying off toe
corn, says:
Southern farmers understand well toe art of
beeping poor. Plant little com and a heap of
cotton; we can buy com cheaper than we can
raise it, are their cries. The Bnnuner comes,
they have sold cotton for com, couldn’t buy
enough with the proceeds of cotton to pay for
provisions, ond are compelled to borrow money
at 24 per cent, to make a crop. It takes all the
cotton to pay for com, when both could be
raised. The Southern farmer works twelve
months for toe benefit of the West and North,
and by his own action makes himself poor and
them rich. Nobody to blame but himself for
not being able to hold cotton.
CITY AFFAIRS.
Life Insurance.—The subject of insurance upon
lives seems to engross the minds of our people more
than ever before. At no period have we seen such
an interest manifested upon the subject, as now ex
ists over the whole country. It is the popular idea
of the day. You can scarcely find a person that is
insurable but what has a policy, or intends some
day to get one. Policies are issued, not only to
benefit toe heirs of the dead, but to benefit toe liv—
ing, by insuring the payment of a certain sum at a
Outrageous.—One of toe most outrageously in
famous and disgusting cases of miscegenation was
before toe Mayor yesterday morning that has ever
been known in this community.
Offioer Pridgen, on Monday last, arrested, in one
of toe negro dens of infamy and crime up on Cotton
Avenue, two white wretches, named Sallie Grier and
MattieSteele,andabigblacknegronamedEd.Cam- .

amorosas met and a disgraceful fight ensued. He
made other statements which will not bear publica
tion, and all of which were impudently and brazenly
acknowledged to be true by toe wretches arraigned
—one of whom was in a twitter all toe while she was
before the Mayor. His Honor seemed to be per
fectly shocked, as were nearly the whole auditory
at toe shamelessly degrading and infamous devel
opments of the case, as made by the negro. The
negro was discharged, but his two foul were
ordered to work on the streets for thirty days.
One of these creatures, Mattie Steele, was brought
here recently, in a chain-gang from Atlanta, by a
railroad contractor, and released. We noticed toe
outrage upon the community at toe time it was per
petrated, and in the above case we have a most dis
gusting evidence of its magnitude. The other is a
degraded wretch, who was run out of town some
twelve months since for her infamous deeds. We
were glad to hear His Honor tell her, yesterday,
that if she and others like her would hang about
the city, he would make them behave, or they should
work the streets until they would be glad to leave
and stay away.
We might mention, in this connection, that toe
negro dens of shame, crime and filth on Cotton Ave
nue, have been ordered to be suppressed forthwith,
and toe city police are now overhauling certain
premises on that thoroughfare with a view to clos
ing them up immediately. It was here that the
dark and damnable scheme was hatched for the
murder of poor Sheffield; it is here that toe low and
degraded scum of humanity seek food and rest when
they arrive in town; and it is here that toe thief,
murderer and debauchee hold their secret conclaves
and mature their plans for plundering and preying
upon the community. These dens should have
been broken up long since, and now that toe city
authorities have entered upon the work, we hope
they will put it through swiftly and thoroughly.

Jubilorum Poetry.—The New Tribune of the
17to says:
The Peace Jubilee in Boston has produced
already a great deal of poetry either to be said
or sung. We are happy to say that some of it
is of better quality than the following, which we
copy from that most respectable newspaper, The
Boston Journal:
‘•Let the great hells ring
And the loud cannon roar;
Sound the glad tidings
From “shore to shore.”
Join in the choruB,
Let it reach o’er the sea,
•‘Our conntry is saved
And the niggers are free.”
Considering that but for “niggers” they might
be singing different tunes in Boston this week,
and remembering CoL Shaw and the Colored
Regiments from Boston during the war, and re
calling a great many other things, we think that
the last line above quoted might have been left
to toe Ethiopian Ministrels.

of Saturday, says: The Secretary of War has
directed that toe warrant of Henry Williams,
Superintendent of toe National Cemetry at An-

stated, but we think it likely that his allowing
toe people of toe neighboring towns to deck toe

Kentucky Military Inotitute We have before
us a very graphic and interesting report of toe dos
ing exercises of the last session of this splendid in
stitution, located six miles south of Frankfort, Ky.,
and in one of the most beautiful and healthyregions
of the State. The Institute has long been the pride
of Kentucky, and, under its present able and effi
cient management, it will soon be the pride of the
whole South. We notice in the list of graduates on
the 10th instant, young gentlemen from four or five
Southern States, which shows that toe old Institute
is still in a flourishing condition and is still com
manding toe patronage and support of the Southern
people.
The writer has personal knowledge of the merits
and excellence of toe Kentucky Military Institute,
and he is sure that the young men of Georgia, who
may become inmates of its classic walls, will find it
to be all that its Prindpal and able Faculty claim

We should be rejoiced to learn that, on the Gthof
September, toe beginning of the next Academical
year, one hundred young Georgians had presented
themselves for admission to this Institute; for
when they left it, we should be sure that we had one
hundred well-educated, well-disciplined young men
among us, thoroughly prepared to enter upon life’s
nigged pathway, and well panoplied to engage suc
cessfully in whatever they might undertake, worthy
of well-directed effort.

we would mention that Bev. Dr. David Wills, of
this city, is to deliver a lecture; Mr. S. W. Goode
will examine his school publicly; there will be a
sumptuous dinner prepared, of which the friends
of the institution and visitors will be cordially invi
ted to partake; and at night there will be an exhi
bition in the way of tableaux, charades, etc., to

We dare say all who attend will spend the day and

Convict Labor.—Can this labor be worked suc
cessfully, and at a saving to our cities and counties,
saying nothing of such labor upon our public works?
We answer that it can. It works with complete euo-
cess in our own city. The plan adopted by the May
or has resulted in a great saving to the city, and its
effect has been to deter that species of crime for
which such compulsory labor is exacted. -When
they are properly managed no guards are required
to keep them from running away; only let them
know that any refractory conduct will cause their
time to be doubled, and no difficulty willbe experi
enced in keeping them at work. We understand
that tbe county has several prisoners in the jail
serving out sentences from three to twelve months.
Why cannot these prisoners be set to work upon
the roads near the suburbs of the city? About
State Fair willbe held at tbe Laboratoiy in Vine
ville next fall, the roads to the place should be
graded and put in fine order. Will not the author
ities of the county see the necessity of moving in
the thing at once? Let these prisoners be compelled
to .work the roads and our word for it, crime will ho
lessened and the county save many a dollar. Can
not the Grand Jury act in this matter and have all
the county prisoners set to work ? The city has set
a good example, let the county profit by it.
Matob’b Court.—His Honor’s morning levee was
again well attended yesterday, though the docket
was rather light in the number of cases entered.
One case, however, was entered, and to which we
have alluded elsewhere, which was the heaviest
draft upon His Honor’s patience and forbearance
that has been made in a long while.
The first case called was against Silas Gibson (ne
gro) for stealing. It was continued.
The next was a case of drunkenness against one
D. G. McAllnm, who was before His Honor on Mon
day for the same offence and was released on toe
payment of guardhouse fees. This time he was or
dered to work on the streets for ten days. Me. is a
sort of sub-contractor on the Brunswick road, and
came to town to employ hands; hut he had such
bad luck in securing them, and he so frequently
came in contact with iced juleps and other mollify
ing influences invented to cooldown the system this
warm weather, that he had not the nerve to resist
them and they floored him. He assured the Mayor
that if he would let him down easy, just one more
time, he would take an oath on the Bible, then nnder
his hand, that he would never touch another drop.
His Honor couldn’t see it, and Me. was escorted to
his scat. Another case of the same nature, with
dis. con. attached, cost the offender S5 and costs.
Sallie Grier and Mattie Steele, two degraded and
infamous white wretches, were then brought up for
fighting about a big buck negro. They were ordered
to work on the streets for thirty days each.
Called Fob.—Sheriff Dean, of BarlxAr county,
Ala., arrived yesterday with a requisition upon the
city authorities of Macon, for the body of Jim Long,
the burglar, to whom we have recently alluded, and
who has been lying in the guard-house since his ar
rest, about ten days since. The Sheriff and his pris
oner leave for Eufaula this morning.
Bibb Superior Court.—This Court was engaged
yesterday in the trial of two or three trivial civil
cases of no interest to toe public.
The trial of Wm. Burgay, charged with the mur
der of Mortimer Minchew, will, we understand, take
place this morning—Solicitor General Crocker for
the State, and General Warren and Mr. Duncan, of
Houston county, and Messrs. Samuel Hunter and
John B. Weems for the defence. The case prom
ises to be one of considerable interest.
One Fare,—We are much pleased to learn that
toe various railroads leading to and from this city
will, in a few days, issue round, or one-fare tickets,
to the watering places in Georgia. In this connec
tion, wo understand that tbe Messrs. Collier & Co.,
of the McIntosh House, Indian Spring, have made
arrangements with the Stage Company to carry pas
sengers from Forsyth to their House and return for
one fare. By this convenient and liberal arrange
ment, a Haconite can visit the Indian Spring and
return home for toe small amount or $4.50.
More Bain.—Two very heavy rains fell a few
miles east and north of this city yesterday, evening
about sunset and during toe early part of tbe night.
A very dark and threatening , cloud arose to the
sonth of toe city, about five o’clock, and as it ap
proached, it seemed to divide—a portion passing to
the east and the other to the west. But little rain
fell in toe city from either. The cloud passing to
toe west was heavily charged with electricity, and
we rarely witness more vivid flashes of lightning
than it gave.
Pen Spobt.—It takes all sorts of people to make
a world; and toe list isn’t at all complete unless
the no-sort—numericallynot an inconsiderable class
—is included. A majority of mankind, as things
go and appear, are not marked by any special char
acteristics. Their emblem is a cypher, their achiev-
ments a blank, their lives an inanity. Circumstances
not only govern many people, but they make noth
ing of them and keep them there severely. The
rank of parties, associations, churches and all that,
think for the file, and substantially act for it. If it
takes all sorts of people to make toe world, it takes
only one to direct its management. It is all right
if there is a big head and good heart in the man
agement, but if not the chances are that it will be
all wrong. If afflicted with doubts about toe mat
ter, gather up a few samples and see for yourself.
Troubles, like wedlock, never come singly. The
moment a man tumbles down every body rushes to
kick him on his unwelcome descent. The world
rather enjoys seeing somebody else stuck immova
bly fast in the mud. This-is very wicked, but it is
as natural as to put the best foot forward.
Etiquette is a fine thing, bntit may exisit without
any heart whatever. Half the “manners” that grace
society are pnt on for effect. Behind it all is a real
nature;, hat is either more boor or bumpkin than
gentleman or lady.

A Fine Storehouse.—Mr. Wm. A. Huff is now
building on Cotton Avenue, between Griffin’s and
Cherry’s, near Cherry street, a storehouse which,
when completed, will be the finest in this city. It
is to be 110 feet deep, 42 feet front and three stork s
high. The front is to he of iron and handsomely
ornamented. It will be just such a building as any
one who is acquainted with the great com and pro
vision king of Central Georgia might expect. Huff
does nothing on a narrow, sordid scale, and under
takes nothing that he cannot carry out successfully
and in tiptop style. This handsome store will be com
pleted and ready to rent to any good tenant by the
first of October next, and we shall congratulate the
man who secures it, as he will have a splendid stand,
ample room, and tbe nicest place for business in all
this region.
Bibb Superior Court.—No business of general
interest to the public was transacted in this Court
yesterday. On account of the recent finding of the
bill of indictment and the absence of witnesses, the

murder of Mortimer Minchew, was continued at the
instance of the accused.
