A IcetUaa tieertfia KepatUran on
ttwttec*.
In a converention htety with a Republican of
prouixateuoe uni in»e:hgeu-.v, wo gleaned the
felkrwosg as to. his. o^h*x>je4 which will interest
the*aadtor:
tHit tW 1irn '
Bis opinion of the President is that he is not
ifl h.h n,>,’ure <k fsmetie; that his idea at the
,. iih kisiouinistration was that heads of
deputlfnonui tooukl hare complete control of
appoinaownts. After he was driven from his
fe*A Cabinet, he then determined to let the new
one through their heads, direct matters, having
uheir own policy, and thus the people of the
Northern States, in coming elections, would vote
as it were, upon that policy whatever it might
be, and condemn or endorse it, as the result
will Bhow. This gentleman, therefore, consid
ers the policy of negro appointments in the
South, more the policy of Secretaries Boutwell,
Creswell and others, than that of the President;
further, that should the elections in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio, this coming fall, result in the
defeat of the Republican candidates, the Presi
dent would consider that “they had been weieheA
in the BalanA-— l rutffla wanRug,” and carry
ing out his originally expressed purpose of ad
ministering the government recording to the
Will of the people, he would have a new deal as
to a Cabinet, and a new policy, conforming thus
to the will of the people. This gentleman hopes
if the President does take this course that a
large portion of the Republican party and Dem
ocrats wi3 find in the President’s position at the
time a point upon which they can unite and up
hold him.
POST-UISTEB GENERAL CBESWELL.
Mr. Creswell was represented to him as hav
ing at one time, early in the war, been such a
violent, malignant secessionist, in Maryland, as
to have broken up all of his associations with
TJnionistB of high standing, and now appoints
negroes, not so much because he loves them es
pecially, as to use the large negro vote that may
be cast in Marylandin the future for his personal
ends.
RECONSTRUCTION 1 .
This gentleman further reports itas fortunate
that, at the close of the last session of Congress,
a nunfber of Republicans from Georgia ap
peared in Washington, to prevent the recon
struction of Georgia. The contrast between
them and the party who were working for that
purpose was altogether to the advantage of the
opponents of the measure.
He fhinkn Butler’s bill would have passed the
House, but for the influence of the President
exerted over his friends. The House was more
Conservative thr-L the Senate—no power could
have prevented its passing the Senate, had it
reached there. His general idea is that the
President wishes no more reconstruction for
Georgia, if it can be avoided by nothing being
done by our people on which these persons can
operate. He believes the President is pleased
at the result in Virginia, from circumstances
within his knowledge.
THE SENATE AND THE CARPET-BAGGERS.
The Senate has among Republicans no men
of firmness enough at all times to face their
party and contend for the right. The course
toward Georgia was by many leading Republi
cans considered a farce, bntyet they dreaded an
issue and would not have it with the Radical
piA4fn^ni- impuDucanmemoci^ _ _ _
a sovereign contempt for carpet-baggers as to so
cial intercourse with them, but wish no other re
presentatives from the South as these fellows are
better tools for their purposes.
HORACE GREELEY.
In conversation with Horace Greeley this gen
tleman asked Mr. G. to visit Georgia and see
for himself how much our people were misre
presented by our enemies. Mr.'G. replied, “No,
I do not want to visit Georgia now. Let your
people go ahead and make good crops and mo
ney this year, get upon your feet, have every
thing quiet, get rid of the miserable carpet-bag
gers and niggers and then I wish to come.”
Two carpet-bag Representatives of Georgia
heard this remark by Greeley.
Shall “Rebel** and “Traitor** be Drop
ped?
The New York Times, of Monday, devotes an
editorial column to the consideration of the in
quiry whether the Northern politicians and press
should pretermit the use of the terms “rebels”
and “traitors," as applied to the Southern peo
ple, and comes to the conclusion it should not
be done. Names are things, and the Southern
people should he compelled to wear the
badge of crime and disgrace. Under these cir
cumstances, the Times will, of course, refuse
to hold any financial or social transactions with
the people of this section. He says this age is
too near the pre-eminent iniquity of the rebel
lion to gauge its proportions; bnt “future Hal-
lams and Macaulays will depict it in all its infer
nal monstrosity.” Let ns hope that future his
torians will be able to discover the gigantic
robbery whioh the South vainly sought to pre
vent, in the effort to achieve sectional inde
pendence. The Times is evidently in new
hands. Mr. Raymond would scarcely have
been guilty of such stuff.
Rain—Rain.—Wednesday night light showers
set in—very light—perhaps two or three of them
during the night; but about seven o'clock
Thursday morning, as nice showers as ever were

Say, and we have great hope that general rarna

betoken them, and we trust none of our planters
will be disappointed.
Crops in North Carolina.—The Wilmington
Journal of Tuesday, says: “We regret to hear
that the com along the line of the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad is literally
destroyed by the drought—dried up and com
pletely withered. The crop on some plantations
is accounted completely lost.”

now only forty-four cases left. That’s encourag

King Solomon is in a bad way in spite of all
his wisdom and glory. He was before Justice
Johnson, of Americus, yesterday, as a common

Cotton Sales fob Future Delivery.—The
Mercantile Journal reports the following:
For future delivery the sales are large, on a
basis of 33@33^ cents for Jnly. November,
26®26J; December, 26@26j; and January de
livering 25j<&26. The favorable accounts of
the growing crops have a tendency to weaken
quotations in these speculative operations.
A negro man was sold at auction last Monday,
at Glasgow, Mo., as a vagrant, and bid in by the
city, at eighteen dollars.
Several crops of tobaooo in Macon and Brack,
en counties, Kentucky, have been entirely de

The Discharge or Turner.
The examination of Turner, the colored
Poet-master of Maoon, has ended in his dis
charge—there not being, in the judgment of the
United States Commissioner, good ground for
binding Mm over for trial for the offence of
counterfeiting- When the examination was
gist dosed, on Saturday night, we are informed
that the Commisrfone'r had prepared papers,
binding Tomer over fbr trial before the United
States Court, in the sum of ten thousand dol
lars ; but the prodaetiohofriewtestimony, on
Tuesday, satisfied that gentleman that there was
no sufficient ground upon which to base a pros
ecution.
It is probable that the unusual course of
proceeduxe in re-opening the examination, after
it had been once formally closed, may give rise
to accusations affecting the integrity of the
Court; but our information upon the whole
subject matter leads us to believe that all such
charges and suspicions are unfounded, and that,
in point of fact, Turner is actually innooent of
the crime of passing counterfeit money—know
ing it to be such—or of any complicity with the
woman, Harris, in these fraudulent transac
tions.
We say this the more cheerfully because it
will make no kind of difference in regard to the
retention of Turner in the Macon Post-office.—
That most desirable result of this explosion has
been certainly reached—that Turner is com
pelled to be dismissed from the Post-office—
not for counterfeiting, hut for even perhaps
worse moral crimes for a man in his position.
The General Post-office Department in Wash
ington has, or will have, in a few hours—such
evidence of hideous moral delinquency on the
part of Turner in its possession, that it cannot
retain him if it would—it dare not retain him,
unless it dare make itself the scoff of the whole
country. •!
Our readers may therefore rest assured that
all they cared about in relation to this fuss is
accomplished, and the Macon Post-office will be
remanded to the custody of white men. Try,
Mr. Creswell, and give ns a post-master of known
character and respectability. That is all we
ask. In respect to this last evidence against
the moral character and fitness of Turner, it is
of a nature which cannot be produced in these
columns without outraging decency. Under this
state of facts we say without reluctance—with en
tire candor, and with the benefit of information
from sonnies which have had access to all the
evidence and have carefully studied this case,
that in all probability Turner is entirely inno
cent of complicity with connterfeiting. That
was the work of the man Schnman, a messenger
in the Treasury Department, who stole the notes
and probably executed the forgeries, and em
ployed the woman Harris to some extent in ut
tering them. He gave her one of these notes in
Philadelphia, which she passed; but evidence
not produced on the trial shows that Turner
was in all probability entirely ignorant of her
possession of these notes as well as of her pecu
niary resources, beyond the fifty dollars which
she gave him to buy her ticket to Atlanta. Tur
ner, in her company, got to Atlanta without
funds and borrowed some there with great diffi
culty to continue his journey, whereas if he had
known her xesonrees, in genuine bills at the
time, he would no doubt have borrowed from
her. We say nothing of the nature of the other
relations which might have subsisted between
Turner and the woman Harris; but the evidence
before the court, leaving out the testimony of
Swayze, fails to establish a complicity in coun
terfeiting, and we do not believe from the facts
we learn, that it existed.
So mnch in candid comment upon the trial.
The result of the whole investigation is a grand
explosion of the predominant influences, which
to the shame of the government, have been al
lowed to control its counsels in Middle Georgia.
Look at this disgraceful exposure. The recog
nized organ and exponent of the United States
^ *•—’**— -- r ctldTi
desperate character that scores of his party
friends swear they would not believe him on
oath. This is the man who has been poisoning
the ears of his party against Georgia—running
riot in personal and malignant denunciation of
everything respectable and decent—inflaming
the passions and prejudices of the ignorant
negroes against their employers — advising
them to bum, kill and destroy—and using
every artifice to foment discord, trouble and ex
citement between the races. This was the chos
en high priest at the altar of loyalty and fora
year his office has been the headquarters of
the so-called Republican party in this section.
The struggle for this very Post-office appoint
ment lay between Swayze and Turner—and what
a choice! We doubt whether the respectable
people of Macon, as affairs then stood, would
nothave preferred Tomer, the negro, to Swayze,
the infamous white man. But with the choice
of Tomer, the administration has a bitter—a
mortifying lesson before them, disclosing an ut
ter want of integrity and capacity in the negro
they preferred. Upon what ideas is a policy
founded which seeks the representatives and
exponents of Government in the very dregs of
moral filth and wickedness. We hope the ad
ministration will abandon the slums hereafter
in the search for its agents in Georgia.

Cave Spring, July 21, 1803.
Editors Telegraph: You have probably seen
in the Rome Cornier, some notice of the myste
rious disappearance of a man from this place
one day last week. It still remains a mystery,
from' all appearances, not to-be solved this side
of eternity. The man came here on the night
of the 12th, at a late hour, and having with him
as luggage, a carpet-sack. He was entirely so
ber and sane, so far as outward appearances
could determine, and took two meals at the hotel
In the afternoon of Tuesday, the 18th, he
walked off in the direction of the cave in the
side of the mountain from whioh gashes the
Spring that gives its name to the village, and
possibly was seen ascending the mountain.—
That was his last appearance to human eyes, up
to this hour. The cave has been thoroughly
searched several times by parties fully acquaint
ed with all its mysteries, but no trace of the
lost one turns up. If he went into the cave, as
is generally upon strong presumptive evidence
believed, and attempted to explore its dark and
dangerous recesses, he very probably fell into a
pool whose depth is not known, and whence es
cape would be next to impossible. This seems
the generally received opinion of his fate. If
he had oome out of the cave, or had not gone in
at all, bnt had wandered off into the country,
he would certainly have been seen by somebody,
as his disappearance and personal description
had been pretty well canvassed in the neighbor
hood. The clothes he left behind, two suits,
were more than sufficient to settle indebtedness
that he had incurred at the hotel. The most
popular theories abont him are that he was eith
er a deliberate suicide orafugutive from jus
tice.
I spent a day in Rome last week very agree
ably. There is more appearance of progress
and thrift in that city than in any other I have
seen lately, except in Atlanta. I saw some
twelve or fifteen houses, dwelling and business,
in process of building, and the air was fairly vo
cal with the music of saw, hammer and trowel.
Trade was very dull indeed, but such signs show
that the people have faith in the future, and are
preparing for it. A Roman as fully believes in
the destiny of his city as a place of great com
mercial importance, as an Atlanta man does in
the great superiority of his home in all the es
sentials that constitute a city in the future over
all other cities. But they neither borrow
money to build with, nor break after finishing
their houses. The houses I saw going up are
the investments of native capitalists. Dirt iB
very dear, all things considered. I saw a lot
for a dwelling house, G5 feet front, by 215 deep,
for which $1100 had been freely paid. Other
sales, and prices asked, were even more satis-
factory to real estate owners. My own judg
ment is that these prices must come down be
fore Rome settles down to her work for good.
She is, of course, destined to be the most flour
ishing town in' Cherokee Georgia, but there is
such a thing as an unhealthy inflation of values
—“overdoing the thing”—in the vulgar ver
nacular.
The stagnation in trade was explained to me
as the result of a “dead lock” between the buy
ers and sellers in the wheat market The latter
were holding back for their price—$1 50 per
bushel, white the former would not budge a
cent beyond $1 25—at which figures the very
little brought to market was sold. Buyers are
very confident of winning so soon as the crop
results of other wheat sections are felt upon the
market. And apropos of wheat: I teamed this
fact the other day: A gentleman who owns a
very fine farm on the Etowah river, between
Rome and Kingston, stated that be should here
after devote his attention to raising oats instead
of wheat He was satisfied, by experiments,
that he could raise three, or possibly, four times
the quantity of oats upon the same land hereto
fore given to wheat and which, at 85 cents per
bushel, would make result of $255 at least,
against $150, at most
You cannot realize without a visit and re
sidence here, how much better off the people of
middle and lower Georgia are with respect to
negro labor than those of this section. If a
man wants to be satisfied how utterly worthless
and unreliable negroes can be, let him live up
here a year. Such a saucy, ill-mannered, un
trustworthy set in town and country, I have
never seen. They understand the situation ex
actly—that their numbers are few, comparative
ly, and that there is work for them all toe time,
and at almost their own price, and act accord
ingly. If you wish a cook, or washerwoman,
or house servant particularly, yon must almost

that their object can be accomplished withont

The Coming Chinamen.—The London news
papers contain correspondence from Canton,
stating that preparations are making there for
wholesale emigration to the United States, on
the part of the masses, who are but too eager to
embrace any opportunity to get away from their
Mandarins and the bastinado. One of these
writers says there is one caution to which the
authorities of toe United States would do well to
give their attention—they must keep the whis

CHALYBEATE SPRINGS, July 18, 1869.
Editors Telegraph: Once more at Chalybeate
Springs, siuated in Meriwether county, Ga.,
my eye wanders over its beautiful lawns and
sloping Villa to see what changes have been
made since one year ago. We find toe hotel
re-covere| and much improved—toe cabin;, on
the other tide of the avenue having undergone
also many agreeable changes. Amid-way on
either sideneat summerhouses have been erect
ed, pleasait seats here and there provided;
while the gi>ve lends its grateful shade to cheer
the passing tour.
As we approach toe Springs we observe toe
neatness of tie drives and walks that converge
at this point, i The Springs are four in number,
distinct and Beparate : Chalybeate, Sulphur,
Magnesia andFreestone. The Chalybeate dis
charges 60 galons per minute or 3,600 gallons
per hour. Yo\ pass from one to the other, bnt
a few steps amt, trying the different waters.

here we notice! a decided improvement has
been made. IiiAddition to the old row quite a
number of new bithing houses have been erect
ed. The gas woes are in full operation and
the whole groundsmay be seen illuminated at
nigbt. In toe wayof new amusements I notice
a beautiful plot of ground for croquet. This
game is indulged h quite freely by the girls
and boys. Let us stroll along up the grand
avenue leading frori\the Springs to the hotel.
And should you bavt with you two as pretty

others. It isthought General Bragg and family
will arrive ins few deys. Under the manage

Son, I see iiahing to prevent a crowded season
at Chalybeaje—in fact, I believe Chalybeate
will be overrun very soon. The Warm Springs,
seven miles further north, are opened—and, be

South Ctrolimv—Heavy Story.
Henry Spariick, Commissioner of Immigra
tion for the Staa of South Carolina, publishes
an official manifesto in the Cincinnati Commer
cial inviting irani grants to that State. We don’t
know whether Ipamick is a negro, a carpet-bag
ger, or an old-lne citizen; but it is certain bis
statements are remarkable. For example :
Scarcely onefonrth of the land in the State
has ever been filled, and the residue now lies in
original forest Such of it as has been im
proved, even bjr toe almost primitive system of
agriculture heretofore prevailing in South Caro
lina has yieldedharrests which, in general com
pare favorably with the most prolifio lands of
the West, and in.many cases far surpass them
in variety and abundance of their productions.
Over one hundred bushels of com and .sixty
bushels of wheat have, with ordinary cultivation
frequently been made to an acre in this State,
and there are instances, since the close of the
war where, by goodploughing and a moderate
use of toe manure^ three hundred bushels of
com have been gatlered in the same area. Un
der my personal observation two hundred and
twelve bushels weri made on one acre, within
the corporate limitsof this city last season, on
land that can hardlr be classed ordinary, and
yet it is confidentlyexpected that toe same soil
will, with toe emplqyment of a little more care,
yield a third larger prop.
Prior to I860, an average harvest per acre,
according to the <^Scial reports of the United
States, was six hundred pounds of cotton, twen
ty-five bushels of com, fifteen bushels of wheat,
—‘v bushels of barley, forty buahela of vine,
one hutnized bushels of Irish and three hundred
bushels of sweet potatoes, and this despite the
carelessness of slave labor, the laoh of improved
agricultural implements, the parsimonious use
of manures, and Lany other disadvantages of a
similar character. $nco toe close of the war
this average has beet largely increased under
the operation of thefree labor system, and will,
beyond qestion. be jreatly augmented by n libe
ral use of modem fetilizing agencies.
Our climate and ail are adapted to the growth
of the most of the gain and fruits of a more
Northerly latitude, fimostas much so as to that
of th«se which are laterally found to prosper
here, Rnd it his said with great truth, that there
is scarcely a f«ot in toe whole domain of South
Carolina where a phnt would not flourish.
We cannot sly that we never read or heard of
such a thing asthree hundred bushels of com
to toe acre. Tie think we have read that such
a yield has acttally been realized somewhere in
the Western edrntry, upon very fat alluviums,
and we suppose; on similar lands, it can just os
well be made in South Carolina as anywhere
else; but, it seehs to us, toe anticipations of
immigrants, fouled from such statements, are
likely to be disappointed. The average harvest
of South Carolinai if correctly stated, are much
greater than we supposed.
Stock or Fields.
An interesting question was presented to the
State Senate dnringtbe first session of the pres
ent Legislature, by our Senator, Hon. W. C.
Smith. It was a proposition to enact a law per
mitting a majority of the people of each county
to determine whethel the five stock owned with
in its limits should hi confined and toe fields al
lowed to go free of eitlosure, or the present pol
icy of fencing and leting stock run at largo be
persevered in. At first the proposition occurred
to us as visionary, bat n brief consideration
caused it to appear ratbnal, practicable and im
portant.
In the old counties of the State, where the
land is generally cleared, it is an absolute neces
sity that some plan should be adopted that will
relieve planters from keeping their fields fenced.
In these counties the tiiiber is destroyed, and
it is impossible at any reasonable rate to pro
vide rails for this purpose. If the policy of
planting hedges should be resorted to, it would
require a long period to get it in successful op
eration. There are some counties, it is true,
sparsely settled, and only a small area of whose
territory is under cultivation, where a change of
polios io not required. As the law, however,
submitted the question to toe people of each
county to determine for themselves, no injury
would result to one county from toe action of
others.
We are indeed inclined to the belief that the
confinement of stock generally would end bene
ficially for toe following, reasons:
1. The economy of tithe, labor and timber,
required for the purpose of fencing.
2. Stock would.then be continually under the
protection of toe proprietor, and less subject to
disease, wonton injuries, or loss by theft, than
when permitted to run at large.
3. Penning them regularly would secure the
cheapest and most reliable fertilizers which are
now almost entirely lost to the owners.
4. The people would bo more • attentive to
their stock, and this wouldgreatly improve their
value.
5. Farmers under this plan would keep a
less number of domestic animals, and select im
proved breeds, which would yield supplies more
cheaply than toe present short stock of the
country.
The loss of the wild range would be more than
compensated by the safety cf stock and their
contributions to the fertility of the soil, 'and
other advantages mentioned as resulting from
the suggested policy. If, however, any should
desire to enjoy the wild ranges they could do so
by providing herdsmen to accompany their'
stock, who could, while guarding 1 ' them against
injury to fields and farms, also protect them
from toe vicious who now too frequently make
them their victims. —Nmnan Peoples' Defender.

DEFEAT OF THE DI8ESTABLI8MENT BILL
BY THE LORDS.
GREAT EXCITEMENT AMONG THE PEOPLE.
London, July 22.—After a prolonged debate,
nearly every Lord explaining himself, toe House of
Lords divided on toe preamble to toe church bill as
it came from toe Commons, and too Government
was defeated by 78 votes to 1.78. The issue is final
ly joined between the Lords and the country. The
political excitement; m — consequence, is intense."
The Cabinet was in.session all ^yesterday after
noon. Messrs. Gladstone, Bright, Lowe, and all
the stronger members insist upon an immediate
withdrawal of the bill, on the ground that the obsti
nate resistance of toe peers renders a conflict be
tween tlio two Houses inevitable. Some members,
including Clarendon, advocate more moderate pro- ^
ceedings—such as letting toe bill take its course *”
and only abandoning it at the last moment; but toe
insulting language used by Earl Salisbury towards
Mr. Gladstone, and toe luge vote againBt toe pre
amble show that all attempts at compromise are
useless. There is little doubt that Mr. Gladstone
will cany hi3 point, by withdrawing the bill imme
diately to be followed by a speedy adjournment to
August, by which time the creation of a new batch
of peers will prevent a ministerial majority in toe
House of Lords. Placards appear on the walls to
day headed, “Shall the People or toe LordBrule?”
calling a mass meeting at Arandala Hall to-morrow,
followed by a monster open air' demonstration. It
is rumored that the Duke of Cambridge expressed
openly his indignation at the radicalism of toe min
istry and expressed a hope that the Queen would

Mew Wonder—A Revolution In Steu|
Engines. I
The Jersey City Times has a description dil

destined to work a revolution in one depaitn>e|
of mechanical industry—namely, a nev steisl
engine, which, one-quarter of the weight, id I
occupying one-quarter toe space required hi
an ordinary ten-horse engine, will give thesaj
power, with twenty-five per cent less fuel |
This little machine sets at defiance all rcf-j
conceived notions on the snbject. Its ttos™ I
power is all contained within the circumferesj
of a broad, stout wheel, about three feet nil
ameter, revolving upon a hollow shaft, which |
receives the steam, and delivers it altcrnatdj |
into two opposite reciprocal cylinders, euc|
i fixed between toe centre and periphery, lie I
power, therefore, instead of being at the certre. I
presents the singular anomaly of being at lie I
circumference—or, in other words, the tree
center of power is at the periphery of the wheel I
To use a familiar simile, the wheel is like tie I
hand or drum of a squirrel cage, in which tv I
squirrels were consentaneously—one in the |
usual position; the other 'in the opposite, b:|
with his head down, and with a motion similar! |

will be formed immediately for the mannfactctl
of the Ru6et engine; whose value for allI
requiring lightness of construction, oombineil
with economy of fuel, may be seen by the sb I
pie statement that it will give ten-horse poja I
with no more fuel than would be required inil
