The Sarannsk Republican and the {Central Road* > The Republican, commenting upon an article in. the Telegraph, of the 25th, upon the new Railway consolidation, conjures up the phantoms >which appear to disturb him. He says: Considering the editor wrote with “imperfect lights,” we think he has been very free, both ir «taring facts and expressing opinions. We re gnt to see this disposition to make hasty war on the Central railroad, and must say that the aammptions above are not only .unjust, but un reasonable. The Telegraph has no right to pronounce such a harsh judgment upon the Cen tral Board, which is composed Of as enlightened, riheraland public-spirited men as are to be Icwnd in the State. Even though the proposed change might pnt it in their power to effect a favorable arrangement for through freight, we .cannot wee why such an arrangement shonld ne- 'oensiate steps with regard to the local trade of itheSouthwestern that would be inimical to “the TUseresfcs of the people tributary to it,” or re gardless of “the equities of the situation.” It will be to the interest of the combination to get all die business it can, and to this end it must ,-uot justly and with a spirit of accommodation to r the /people, especially as it will soon have at Maocurtw* formidable competitors reaching ont r-their lines to the coast.' What hostility has the Telegraph to the Cen- • XxdL Road or the Southwestern Road ? We never '.lufd and never-expressed any at all. We want do-see .them prosper. Furthermore, we do not •-suppose that-in their -combinations to increase their,own earnings, and cripple rival road9, they are actuated by any hostility to Macon or other interior towns. They wish simply to protect and advance -their own interests. .The misfortune^ however, is that their inter- »o*te, as they understand them, in connection with rival routes, are mot compatible with the Interests of the people,-and-that is all that con cerns -ns abont the matter. It is not for the interests-of the people that the -Central Road dhall .obstruct, circumvent or control all other a avenues to the seaboard, and this "they are at- t-tempting -.to do. They made a bold stroke last maimer to control the Savannah and Gulf Rail road, and whether they did it or not the Repub- bean, can tell ns. He approved that movement although it would have vested in a single com- i-'wny, the power of fixing unquestioned the • freights upon produce of all kinds from the in- '■ toziar-.to Savannah. The Republican thought • toat-wrould be a good thing for Savannah, and r a good,thing for the people of the country; bnt - wo do not think any other disinterested person < was of that opinion. With the question of a controlling power over ' the Savannah and Gulf Railway, still, so far as • wo know, an open one, the Central next swal- ilomu the Southwestern road bodily, and the Re publican thinks this is a good thing too. As a citizen of Sevannah, he may be right in his . qjjBiion; because it is to the interest of Savnn- ri nth to compel all produce to come to that point; x anfiiiie-of .no consequence to her what rates of ’ freight-may be exacted from the farmers. But : nevertheless, a wide difference will exist on this ^point between the Republican and the people of the country. We,-on-the other hand, want to see the Cen tral, cud all other roads, get fair, remunerative ■jratoa for freights, but we don’t want to seo all ’ihfl-Iaws of nature and principles of geography mpwst and uprooted in the attempt to monopo lize traffic. We don’t want to see the vast •trade interests of the interior sacrificed in the -effort. If the Central Railroad must advance It* interests at the sacrifice of those of the peo ple—the people on the other hand must pro- ifect themselves if they can. Ttbfi American Cotton Crop. .' W6 Cbpy from * too-New York Evening Post, 1 jome general figures upGn the American cotton v crop,-which though not altogether correct, are 1 Utter Bitting and encouraging as to the future of V'jfciE -gigantio interest We hope to see this grandest trophy of American agriculture make an important advance to its old proportions this year. We are not of those who believe it for •■the best interest of the State, that the crop shall be small and prices exorbitant. On the con trary we want to see large crops and fair prices, in order that consumption may be stimulated •wad manufacturing industry encouraged and z revived throughout the world. We want to see \fhe commercial and financial importance of - these Southern States grow and become over- > shadowing, so that the Northern people may be .ashamed of the folly of their experiments hero • to’invert society and politics and take the con- • trol of this section ont of the hands of its peo- , , Xewnan Springs. We are glad to present to onr readers, to-day, itha claims of Kewnan and her Mineral Springs, •as a place of summer resort. Newnan is one of the most beautiful, healthful and flourishing fawns in the mountainous regions of Midland ^Georgia, accessible ‘from Macon, now, by the Macon 'A Western and Atlanta & West Point I Railroads, but in the-course, of a year we hope it - will-be-reached by a direct line of railway'from 7 Macon, litis a.cool, breezy, healthful spot, sur- j rounded -.by a country abounding in the re- i socEeee^sf comfortable subsistence. The water iieoD. that it is described to be in the advertise ment, and we hope that such of our readers as contemplate a trip to a watering plaoe for health ■rid relaxation, will not lose sight of Newnan. The News Oom Cuba. From the Netc York Herald.] The special telegrams which we published yesterday from Havana, and the correspond ence from Cuba given in another column to-day, contain some very important points of intelli gence relating to the state of affairs in that island. Notwithstanding the flaming acoounts of Spanish victories and annihilation of insur gents, with which the Havana journals have been filled for mouths, the labor of suppressing the revolution does not seem to dimmish, ancl its final extinction ia as far off, if not farther, as ever. With the guerilla and Parthian polioy pursued by the patriots, the Spanish forces ex perience a continual melting away, while no such thing as a decisive engagement has taken place. It has been stated that fully twenty-five hundred troops arc placed hors de combat month ly, which loss has diminished in a remarkable degree the number of troops and volunteers now in the field. It is no donbt to this fact, which has placed the Spaniards on the defen sive, that the entire absence of offensive move ments by the Spanish troops is owing. All their present efforts seem to be confined to the holding of the towns of Puerto Principe, Las Tunas and Villa Clara. The diminished moral force of troops in this situation favors the de velopment of disease among them, and reports of the increase of cholera and yellow fever abound. A still more significant item of the recent news reports is the statement that the Havana volunteers have, of their own accord, surren dered to detachments from the ships of war, the Moro and Cabanos fortresses, which command the city of Havana. The government has no regular troops to place in these important places, and the volunteers who had been placed : n them some months ago not long since defied General Dnlce, and finally drove him from the post of authority. Three weeks of supreme command, which they have held in the name of General Espinar, with the knowledge it has given them of the extraordinary demands the revolution is daily pressing upon the Spanish resources in Havana, has showed them how im possible it is to attain their hopes of triumph, and rendered them as tame as Iambs for the coming of General Rodas. In this officer they now place all their hopes ; but the very knowl edge they have acquired of the weakness of the colonial government, in both men and money, will prove the greatest difficulty with which that commander will have to contend on his arrival to-day or to-morrow in Havana. The truth is that the Spanish government in Cnba to-day is as hollow a shell as was the gov ernment of Jeff Davis during the winter of 1864-5. A marked success to the patriots, each ns the fall of Puerto Principe, or a defeat to Valmaseda, or the capture of Las Tunas or of Holguin, any one of which may be considered an impending event, wonld deliver half of the ports of the island to President Cespedes, and open foreign commerce and supplies to the new republic. Such an event would confine the de fensive operations of the Spaniards to the West ern department and a limited territory around Santiago de Cuba in the east. The resources of the colonial government to-day are wonder fully diminished. The imports have sunk to a small figure, carrying with them the customs revenues, while the impossibility of collecting internal revenues has indneed a redaction of the rate to one-half of its original assessment. The revenue from the crops of 1869 has al ready been collected and expended. These are a portion of the evils which Gen. Rodas will encounter on arriving in Havana. His only resource, both for men and money, will lie in the enthusiasm of the Havana volun teers. Under other circumstances they might have contributed ten thousand men to the army in the field and ten millions of dollars to the treasury as a loan. Now that they have dis covered how inadequate these would be to meet the needs of the government, wo have reason to donbt that their enthusiasm will be equal to the sacrifice. Rather do we incline to believe that the march of the Havana volunteers down the causeway leading from the heights of the Cabana to the bay is bnt the beginning of the Spanish exodus from Cuba, which will culmin ate at a future day in the return of the Cuban refugees now eating the breadof exile in foreign lands.

The Augusta Constitutionalist is taking the absurd position, that the decision of the Su preme Court will not reinstate the expelled col ored members of the Legislature. It says that “question was settled by the only court having jurisdiction of it—that is, by each House of the General Assembly,” and that “their decision when rendered was a judicial decision, which cannot now be reversed by themselves.” Well, that argument is a little aheRd of anything we have heard in a long time. From whence does the Legislature derive judicial powers? We have been of the impression, that each branch of the government was separate and distinct— the Legislative, Executive and Judicial. How comes it that the Legislative can assume the ; lowers and duties of the Judicial department ? f the past career of the presen Legislature of Georgia is a fair sample of its ability, we do not think it has any brain to spare on Judicial labors. The fact is the decision of the Supreme Court is as applicable to the expelled members as it is to White, the party directly interested in the re cent suit. All the expelled members will be re seated, and the whites, who have been filling their places,"be invited to vacate—and perhaps refund that “nine dollars” per day—which they have spent.—Quitman Banner. T3ub Georoia Boxs in Northern schools, are , distinguishing themselves. At the recent exhi bition at the Polytechnic Institute of Pough keepsie, blaster Arthur E. Boardman, son of Joseph' M.

A severe bil lions disorder has induced a return of the pain ful symptoms from which he has suffered so much lately, growing ont of the injury sustained by the falling upon him of a heavy gate. We trust that in a few days he will be re- . stored to his usual health. . The Child's Delight, for July, is laid on onr r table by Mr. Boykin, its publisher. The Delight is a neat and excellent Sunday • School paper, and is intended specially for the ‘Baptists. It comprises two numbers in one, a«6 may be distributed semi-monthly to Snnday Schools, at the low rates of 25 cents per nrninnv ' It is well illustrated with pictures, pictorial scrip ture rebuses, etc., and is an interesting paper for children.

We fyave no doubt that the Fair at Macon is destined to be, by far, the finest exhibition of the kind ever made in Georgia. The Labora tory Building, which by the kindness of the au thorities in Washington has been tnrned over to the Society for this purpose, is grandly adapted to the show. Its grounds contain 140 acres and the main building, besides numerous other rooms adapted to all uses, bas one magnificent .hall, finely lighted and over 300 feet long by eighty feet wide. Wo confess this courtesy of the Federal Gov ernment to our Agricultural Society, as it is the only indication of good will we have received since the war, is particularly gratifying; and we have been informed that the Secretary received strong assurances from the most distinguished sources in Washington, that they would lend their influence to the passage of an act of Con gress ceding the premises to the Society in fee simple, aB permanen theadqnarters of agricultu ral science and art in Georgia. In this case, we hope to see a strong and sue cessful effort made to establish here a School of Agriculture, in which the great principles of national science, which he at the foundation of this noblo pursuit, shall be taught to our youth, and experimentally applied on the prem ises. This is what we need in Georgia more than almost anything else. Bnt to retain to the Fair: The most ample preparations will be made, and we shall have the attendance of distinguished men of all par ties and pursuits from every section of the Union. The Hon. Horace Capron, U. S. Com missioner of Agriculture, will be here, and many other men of note. We hope to make the occa sion one which will redound greatly to the per manent advancement of every interest of Geor gia, and be largely instrumental in dispelling unfounded prejudices against onr people. board of flour inspectors, appointed by the Governor under an act of the State Legislature, having en joined the old inspectors, were tested as to qualifi cations on Friday, by a Committee of the Chamber of Commerce.

From New York New York, June 28.—The first New York regi ment of Caban volunteers, 800 strong, commanded by Col. Byan, put to sea on Saturday. The Quaker City was awaiting them outside the narrows with stores. The Ocean Bank loses $20,000. An immense amount of securities deposited by the Bank’s custo mers, was stolen. Dr. Dorset, of Richmond, was with Saturday^ Cu ban expedition as medical director. The safe of the Ocean Bank bas been robbed of $2,000,000. Washington, June 25.—The Cubans have further encouraging advices confirming the report of tho cholera and yellow fever in tho Spanish army. Reinforcements sent fromComaguato Cinco Villa were attacked by the CubanB and defeated, losing three hundred. The Cubans have captured Palmidas. The expedition which landed at Nnavas Grandes and joined the insurgents, numbered six hundred, in good health and spirits. The health of the Cuban army Is comparatively good. They aro occupying healthful positions some distance from tho coast. ‘In the Name op the Prophet Figs.”—We have received from Mr. Grenville Wood, two figs of the white variety weighing nine ounces each. If any body has got any better, we have no objection to receiving a sample. Flour in Atlanta.—The,Era quotes flour at f6 50 to $10 00 per barrel. An Insurance Veteran Retires.—The New York Journal of Commerce of Saturday has the following in reference to a native Carolinian, who has many friends in Charleston. Colonel Richard M. Lathers has retired from the Great Western Marine Insurance Company, over which he has presided so ably since its or ganization. and John A. Parker, Esq., the first Vice President, has been elected in his plaoe. Colonel Lathers has been an able, liberal and indefatigable executive officer, -and the eminent success of the company has been due in no small degree to his wise management. He has a very considerable private fortune, and the conduct of his private affairs calls for all of the time he feels willing to devote to his business pursuits. During the thirteen years of Colonel Lathers’ administration, the Great Western has earned [ over six million dollar* in not profits. From North Carolina. Raleigh, June 27.—The United States Circuit adjourned yesterday, after having discharged a largo amount of business. • rr ' The annual commencement of Davidson College, Mecklenburg county, was attended by two thousand persons. The exercises were of an interesting char acter. The graduating class was the largest for years. The literary address was delivered by Sena tor Gales, and the annual address by Rev. R. Mason. Two new professors are to be added to the Faoulty. Foreign News. Brest, June 23.—Tlie Great Eastern is 697 miles out. Signals perfect. The difficulty heretofore re ported is owing to improper connections on land. Paris, Jane 27.—Scheider has resigned the Pres idency of the Corps Legislatif, bnt Napoleon de clined accepting his resignation. Zurich, June 27.—Mazzinihas been expelled from Switzerland and left for London. The Agricnltural Department has issued its report for the months of May and Jnne. The returns show a high average condition of wheat, and indicate a good prospect of an abundant crop, if no casualties occur before or after the harvest It shonld be observed, however, that the size and succulence of the stalk favors lodg ing or laying, which is reported as already some what serious in parts of the South and West. Rye, barley, and other grains are generally in fine condition. The com crop is backward, and the latest reports in regard to cotton are favorable. The yield of small fruits is unusually abundant, with a fine promise for those coming in later in the season. Peaches will be abundant in New Jersey and Delaware—will be a fair crop in the energies. The cotton crop, growing over so wicfely ex tended an area of country, and passing in its processes from seed to shipment through so many hands, has yet been reduced to figures so exact that few' articles of commerce can be sta tistically considered with equal precision. The immense advantage or the tabular statement ia respect of cotton, lies, of eonrse, in its enabling of to make conjectural estimates of the-future growth of the plant likely to fall not for short of the truth. The American cotton crop of the last year has been ascertained as 2,430,893 bales. The.aver- age of weight is 400 pounds to the bale, which gives an aggregate of 97^347,000pounds;: worth in currency about two hundred and fifty millions of dollars. For practical purposes the bale may be set down at the value of one hundred dollars. Three acres, as a rule, produce one bale of cotton. Tho crop of 1368, upon this average, required the cultivation, of 7,292,679 acres. The land devoted to cotton before the war was taken to represent a money value of $291,707^160; bnt, by reason of the disorganization incident to the war, this value has faUen to $72;928,790. The area of the States growing cotton exclusive of Kentucky, Missooiiand Virginia—in portions of which tho plant miy be successfully caitiva ted —is 426,365,440 acres. This area may be fair ly taken as the possible cotton field of thefuture, setting off the portions of the cotton growing States proper which' cannot bo employed for cotton production against the Kentucky, Mis souri and Virginia lands which may be so em ployed. Tho Unitod States then have a capaci ty of cotton production of 143,121,843'bales, which, at existing prices in currency, wonld be worth fourteen thousand two hundred and twelve millions of dollars—a sum which staggers the imagination. The crop of last year occupied only about one fifty-ninth port of the vast area, and brought only abont the same proportion of the sum just mentioned. Praetically, then, it may be said, that there-is ne.limit to the quantity.- of cotton that may be raised by a combination, of effort on the part of those immediately interested. One hand may make three bales of cotton, though this is- a high average. Applying it, however, to the crop of 1868 we get 810,708 as the numbor of hands employed in its growth. Competent writers assume that one-fourth of these were- white men; a proportion greater than under-the system of slavery. About one- half the slaves of the South before the war were in the cotton field, which, according to the cen sus of 1860, would give 1,500,000 in round num bers as the force employed. Knee slavery has been abolished this forco has been diminished by the- withdrawal of almost all the women and children, and by an actual decrease of the whole number of blacks—to what ostent the census of 1870 alone can inform ns. The fall in price of onr staple since the war has greatly crippled the cotton-planting interests of India and Egypt. The-largest yield in India was that of 1866, when it reached 1,840,643 bales. This was brought down in 186S to 1,420,- 576 bales. Egypt produced, in 1865, 404,411 bales; in 1868, 193,031*, or not enough to dis turb a calculation of probable results hereafter. Both these countries paid the penalty of a too exclusive devotion of their lands to cotton, un der the stimulus of onr war, in famine, which carried off nearly a million of hnman beings. In Smyrna and other portions of the Levant, where in 1864, the fig crop was sacrificed to the growth of cotton, the culture has been almost entirely abandoned. We see, then, that the United States is likely to remaiq the chief cotton-grower of the world; and we se'e, also, that its capacity for increased production depends almost wholly upon the in creased supply of labor. The importance of encouraging emigration becomes magnified in this view to the greatest extent. An Overworked Journalist. THE CAUSE OF THE DEATH OF THE HON. HENRY J. RAYMOND. A New York letter says: The story of the sudden death of Mr. Ray mond, of the Times, is but a reputation of that told of the quick ending of the lives of many men, and not a few of note in this great city daring the past few months. “Apparently in perfect health, he dropped dead.” Study the New York papers from day to day, and you will remark the alarming frequency of this sentence in their local columns. Why is it that sudden deaths occur so often here ? Is it because life is so terribly earnest in New York ? Perhaps so. Men who are “in the harness” here never rest. Men who keep even pace with the world of New York are forever working. Men like Mr. Ray mond who lead New York, journalists who direct publio opinion here, man the helm , and keep a perpetual lookout for breakers ahead, never take the harness off. Their brains are ever ac tive. They are forever driving; forever over- West, and a short snpply only in some localities in the Southern Staves where untimely frosts prevailed. • , Asl stated in my dispatch, no one of Mr. Raymond's associates for a moment dreamed that he would die as he did; and when the news of hi3 death came they could not reconcile them- selves to it or understand it at all. But now an explanation is given.

Governor of Georgia : The undersigned have the honor to ask the Executive intervention in the following mati ter: The tax requires, in onr judgment, without the authority of law or precedent, that returns shall be made for taxation upon our type, print ing presses and other facilities, and inas much as custom would seem to hare established the fact that such implements of trade are prop erly exempt from taxation, and there having been no legislation touching the matter, at all, we claim that the tax receiver can make no such demand legally. Under these circumstances, and in view of the fact that other States, so far as our informa tion extends, exact no such taxation, but, on the contrary, exempt the printing press, foster the trade of book-making, and encourage the dissemination of knowledge, wherein such is reckoned as the fruits of the printing press, we beg that your Escelleney will intervene in our* behalf, by issuing such an order as your Ex cellency may deem right and proper in the premises. In the farther strengthening of our position, we may add that no such taxation has ever been demanded by the Municipal authorities of At lanta. We have the honor to remain, your Ex cellency's obedient servants, Proprietor Franklin Printing House; Miller, Bailey Jc Bennett, Proprietors Economieal Job Office; Jared Irwin Whitaker, Proprietor of In telligencer; W. A. Hemphill & Co.; Proprietors Constitution; Samuel Bard, Proprietor Daily Now Era; Phillips & Crew, Publishers Seott’s Monthly; T. S. Reynolds, Job Office. [Upon this document the following endorse ment was made by the Governor:] Respectfully referred to the Honorable Comp troller General. Rufus B. Bullock, Governor. Comptroller General’s Office, > Atlanta, June 25, 1869. > To His Excellency Rufus B. Bullock: Sir—I acknowledge the receipt of a memo rial addressed to yonr Excellency, from the pro prietors of the various newspapers and job printing establishments of the city of Atlanta, claiming-exemption of their type, presses and other fixtures, and asking an order relieving them from the'tax claimed by the tax receiver of Fulton county. The memorial claims that the tax receiver, withont authority of law or precedent, requires returns to be made of said property for taxation, and that custom wonld seem to have established the fact that “such implements of trade” are properly exempt from taxation. In my opinion the receiver has authority of law for the proceeding complained of, and that it is his duty to require it and that ’ “custom” will not prevail when bronght in con flict with positive law. It is my duty, as an officer, to execute the law as I find it, whatever my opinion may be as to its wisdom or exped iency. The reasons advanced in the memorial by the highly intelligent nnd worthy gentlemen whose names are-signed thereto, might be very good reasons to present to the Legislature on asking that body to pass a law for the exemption of this particular-class of property in the future; bnt they certainly fail to establish the fact alleged, that it ia-at this time exempt, under existing laws. By virtue of the authority of law, a pamphlet containing instructions and a digest of the tax laws taken from the Code, and preserving the number of the sections, was issued from this office on the 21st of April, and with blank di gests immediately transmitted to the Tax Re ceivers throughout the State, and they were or dered to commence the performance of their duties immediately upon the receipt of their di gests. Section 797Tof the Code, on page 16 of said pamphlet, declares that “all real and per sonal estates, whether owned by individuals or corporations, resident or non-resident, are lia ble to taxation, unless specially exempted." This section cleariy and unmistakably points, out the “taxable- property” referred to in the- 1st section of the tax, act of 1869, and item- braces “all real and personal estate” not special- ly exempted. Tha terms used are as broad nnd comprehensive aa- they could be made, and wonld embrace even wearing apparel, were it not “specially exempted.” The words “all real- and personal estate’” cover every species of property known to onr laws, and therefore em brace the proporty for which exemption is claimed, unless some law can be found specially exempting it. I have searched in vain for such a law, and none such, in my opinion, can be found. Section 79G of the Code, embraces a list of seventeen specifio- exemptions, to which two more were added by an act of the last Legisla ture. None of them embraces type, presses, or printers’ fixtures. The memorial refers to these as “ implements of trade.” The nearest ap proach to this term is found in the 12th item of the exemptions, “plantation and mechanical tools” not above the value of $300. Can the property named-be construed as falling wkhin the meaning of the words “mechanical tods ?*’ I think not. The word “tools” as here used has a restricted meaning, and only embraces such implements used by mechanics as by com mon custom are known and distinguished as tools.” Such, for instance, as a saw, a chisel, hammer, plane, auger, etc. Bnt, in my judg ment, a printing press or steam engine is not a tool. If, however, type, etc., were admitted to be within the exemption, it wonld only extend to $300; all the excess would be taxable. The question as to whether printing presses were taxable, was recently propounded to-me by the Tax Receiver of Hancock county, and in a let ter addressed to him on the 18th instant, I de cided that printing presses under the tax laws as they n»w stand, were liable to taxation. And, now, after carefully reviewing the whole sub ject, I can find no valid reason for changing the decision then made. In making such decision I have been govern ed neither by prejudice or bias against the press. On the contrary I duty appreciate its inportance to the public in the dissemination of knowledge and the promotion of virtue and good morals, and have no- argument to offer against the claim for exemption now under con sideration, other than the stem, unyielding fact that the law, in my judgment, taxes the prop erty, and there is no other provision of law that exempts it. But, as this is a question upon which a difference of opinion exists, I would respectfully submit, whether it would not be well for your Excellency to suspend the collec tion of the tax upon this class of property until the next session of the General Assembly, and let that body give direction in the matter. This in my judgment, would be but an act of justise to the press of the State, and relieve this office from the construction of a law upon which em inent legal gentlemen seem to differ. The memorial is herewith returned. Very respectfully, c Madison Bell, Comptroller General . There was a “run” recently on a Brooklyn Savings Bank, and the directors found that they had not money enough in the vaults to meet the demand, and sent a messenger to New York to get a fresh supply. They were afraid of get ting out, and instructed the teller to oount very slowly, in order to gain time. The next ruse was to send one of their clerks into the line of depositors, and have him protest his account and get into a row with the teller. He did his work to perfection; complained that the money was not all right; compelled the cashier to connt it over several times, and made so much noise that a policeman was sent for. The rest of the depositors were amused at the row, and forgot that they were being detained. When the messenger arrived with a fresh snpply of money, the teller apologized to the fictitious de positor, the quarrel was made up, and the work of paying went on. In the case of Yerger, on trial before the mili- tary commission at Jackson, Miss., for killing Colonel Crane, the defence commenced the ex amination of witnesses on Monday. It was shown that the piano seized was not the proper ty of Yerger. Crane knew the fact, but ordered the officer to seize it notwithstanding. It was further shown by some correspondence that Yerger had offered to settle the claim he had against the city for damage to property caused by negligence of the city government. An or der for restitution had been issued by Judge Peyton, of the High Court, and served on Crane previous to the difficulty,, and had not been obeyed., , A novelty in silks is a now color recently im ported for dinner dresses called corail..

Washington Poe for a copy of the Daily Toronto Globes containing R® account of the “Annual Convocation” of the University of Toronto, Canada, and make the following oxtraot -. jj In the Toronto (Canada) Globe, of the lltb instant, we find a full account of the annual commencement, "or convocation as it is there called, of the University of Toronto. In the list of distinguished we find the nnma of- OUT young townsman, Montgomery Camming, to whom was assigned the Prince of Wales prize, a distinction that marks the highest degree of scholarship and deportment. We annex the complimentary remarks of the President of the University in presenting this prize : Dr. McCaul then rose to introduce the Prince of Wales’ prizeman, Mr. M. Camming. In do ing so he said that it was with peculiar pleasure that he presented the prizeman, because it was the proceeds of a fund given to the University at the time of the visit of His Royal Highness to this country. It differed from all the other rewards in that it is for general proficiency. In presenting Mr. Camming, he did so as being of the highest standing in general proficiency which he obtained by being first in metaphysics and English, first in mathematics, and second, class in classics, a combination never before achieved. He felt a peculiar pleasure at the result, because from the very first entranoe into the University, the recipient’s conduct, demeanor and progress had been most satisfactory. Bnt there was an other reason, and he thought there wonld be a large amount of sympathy accorded toe recipi ent on toe same account. He came from the South of the dividing tine between this and the neighboring country, and was not a Canadian. They had toe pleasure for some years back in welcoming friends from the other side, and he very distinctly remembers that there were some came from New York who wrote their names high in the list of academio honors. After toar they found that Kentucky took the lead, bnt now, last of all, Georgia, has capped them by her son. (Cheers.) It will be a satisfaction to find many coming from toe States here, if they find toe advantages snch as will warrant their coming. We can, he said, assure them tout this is an open field and no favor, and he ventured to assert that if they won any honors from onr men they will credita bly take them. Of course daring toe troubles that are ended there were many homes made desolate, and household gods were strewed on many a hearth, and even now the vegetation is scarcely grown up that was trodden by the iron heel of war. There are those who still retain a feeling to the old cause, of whom may be said as was said of toe old Roman— Yictrix causa dels placuit sed victra Catoni— —For toe benefit of these friends present who may not have graduated, he would express it in toe langurge of the old translation: . “The gods and Cato should in this divide They first toe conquering Shonld the conqueror side.” Perhaps there may be in the North those who feel that success and may be of that opinion. It was not for ns to express an opinion, bnt this he did venture to say, that as kind friends and good neighbors, our earnest hope » that peace and plenty and happiness may traverse the land with their attendant train over every portion of the dominion of the vast Republic. (Cheers.) The Crops in Decatur County.—We do not feel authorized, says toe Bainbridge Argus of last Saturday, to make as favorable a report of toe crops this week as we did last. The pro tracted rains have compelled fanners to aban don their lands on account of the saturated and miry condition of the soil The grass, too, is getting the mastery in many instances, espe cially where gnano has been used. Both corn and cotton look well and are growing rapidly, bnt the fields that erewhile looked so clean, are beginning to present a coat of grass, which in creases every day, threatening injury to the crops. We are having much rain in this local ity, bnt we learn it is not the case generally. We hear occasionally reports of toe appearance of toe caterpillar in some fields hereabouts. Cincinnati Southern Railroad Triumphant. —The following telegram, says the Atlanta In telligencer; communicates toe gratifying intel ligence that Cincinnati, by an overwhelming vote, has as emphatically decided on knilding toe Cincinnati and Chattanooga Railway, as the City Council had previously decided to make Chattanooga toe Southern terminus : Cincinnati, June 26.—Col.

The Post Office.—The question at issue with the authorities at Washington, as to the Post- mastership of this city, has been decided ad versely to Blodgett. We learn that a private telegram was received yesterday, positively an nouncing that the President had decided in fa vor of Bryant. A tolerable choice, considering the very limited assortment from which the selection was made. — Oomtitutimalist. Impeachment.—The wild and extravagant ru mor that Governor Bnllock will be impeached by the Georgia Legislature is nothing but a slander upon the Democratic Party of Georgia, and upon toe Governor himself. There is no ground, whatever for an impeach ment, and no one will be silly enough to attempt it—Atlanta InteUigencer. Superior Court.—This Court was engaged yes terday in tho trial of two criminal cases. Jim Brooks and Andrew Cray, negroes, wore tried for stealing cotton some two months since from toe Planters* Warehouse, in this city, and convicted. Thoy were remanded to jail to await the sentence of the Court LeviShute, negro, was tried on a charge of bur glary in that ho had burglariously entered the house of Mr. James Dawson and stole a lot of clothing. He. too, was convicted and remanded to jail, and the Court adjourned until Monday 9 o’clock.
