What I>o they Want ?
Does the Badieal party want to bring itself
In the publio estimation to a moral level with
Turner? If not, we think they may as well di
rect some of their subordinates to hold 'their
horses, and cease their efforts to whitewash
him at the general expense. The Hew York
Tribune publishes an official letter—the sub
stance of which we gave, not knowing its source
—dated U. S. Marshal's Office, Ailim!*, July 19,
1869, and signed George' B. Chamberlain—in
which the writer says:
I wish yon to know that I have inst come in
possession of valuable testimony, that will fully
establish his (Turner’s) innocence, and prove to
the world that the whole affair is a clear case
of persecution, and an outrageous conspiracy
to bring the Government into disrepute, exas
perate the people against the present Adminis
tration, -and to deprive Tomer of his position.
From the beginning I have felt that Turner was
an innocent man, and, consequently, have been
incessantly at work, investigating the affair, in
order to get at the troth.
Now Chamberlain does not herein make a dis
tinct allegation that the prosecution of Turner
owed its origin to the Democratic whites of
Georgia, but it is clearly inferable, because it is
charged to a wish to bring the Government (ad
ministration) into disrepute—a desire which
would be naturally attributable to political oppo-
nents alone. But no man knows better than Cham
berlain that no Democrats—nobody of the op
position party had anything to do with the pros
ecution of Turner, or took any active part what
ever to aecnre his conviction. Let him answer
to his conscience, then, if he has any, how he
dare to insinuate any snch charge.
Again he writes before the re-opening of the
examination, that he would clearly establish
Tumor’s innocence and prove to the world a
clear case of persecution and conspiracy. Why
did he fail to do it? Why did he content himself
with getting the prisoner off upon merely inade
quate evidence to commit ? Why did he not at
tempt at least to prove conspiracy and persecu
tion ? He tried nothing of the kind, and he left
the prisoner in a condition where, under the laws
of Georgia, at least, he would probably have
been committed to stand trial.
Now, what is the meaning of this attempt to
get up sympathy for Tomer? The charges
against him were brought by United States
officers—he was tried by a United States Com
missioner, an appointee of the Treasury De
partment—he was prosecuted by a United
States District Attorney, and every material
witness for the prosecution was a Radical—
Where was there a chance for persecution or
conspiracy ? No Democrat had anything to do
with the matter. And when, if ever, the ad
ministration brings Schnrman to justice for
stealing and counterfeiting notes from the
Treasury Department, and Tamer’s evidence in
the case is submitted to the ordeal of sifting
and cross examination, we may probably get
of a series of years with the various _ _

Chamberlain says:

“Gnstin’a Brag Acre.**
Joses County, July 30, 1669.
Editort Tdtgraph: Your interesting descrip
tion of that “brag acre” was read and re-read.
The 4-horse Brinley and subsoil in the prepara
tion were correct—but the application of-phos
phate was wrong.' Nothing produces weed and
fruit like nitrogenous rdannre—Peruvian guano
for instance. (8ee Dickson, in Cultivator.)
Then, again, yon state the cultivation was ‘‘not
shallowly” done, but with a “subsoil lifter all
the time."
Why, my dear sir, is it possible that a gentle
man of Gustin’s known practical sense, used a
subsoil plow in the cultivation of that “brag
acre,” running that lifter down among tho ten;
der, fibrous roots, tearing, cutting arid-bruising
those spongioles that feed Ihe stalk, bleeding it
to death ? Has Mr. Gus tin ever read the Cul
tivator, and noticed Dickson on the sweep—
where it is written that after preparation and
bedding, nothing bnt a sweep, running one inch
deep, should be used ? Any other plow is de
structive to the yield of cotton. I thank thee,
Gustin, for that sockdologer, under somebody's
fifth rib. • Boxes.
None the less possible than certain, “Bones.”
That is the way Mr. G. cultivates about every
thing—not running the lifter through tender
fibrous roots, cutting, bruising and so on; but
running as near them as he can go and lifting
and mellowing the soil so you will sink into it
nearly ancle deep. As for Mr. Dickson’s shal
low method and the Cultivator’s lore on that sub
ject—Mr. G. is thoroughly conversant with, bnt
don’t believe in them at all. In respect to Su
perphosphates he holds that they contain the
precise food for the cotton plant and are far
better than Guano.
Georgia—'The Resources of the State.
Atlanta, Ga., July 20.—The State of Geor
gia, comprising an area of 60,000 square miles,
is divided into three great belts. For about one
hundred miles from the sea-coast, on the south
east, and from the Florida line, on the south,
the country abounds in the best yellow-
heart pine timber that can be found in the
United States. Much of the land in this di
vision is adapted to the culture of cotton and
sugar-cane, The value of snch products is too
well-known to need any comment here.
The middle portion of the State embracing at
least a third of the. whole area, is good for cot
ton, corn, wheat, oats, rye, and allkinds of veg
etables and fruits. There are numerous water
courses, with as fine water power as can be
fonnd anywhere in the United States.
The upper portion of the State abounds not
only in mineral wealth, very imperfectly devel
oped, bnt in fertile valleys and productive hill
sides, where as fine clover and other grasses may
be produced as anywhere in the West, with the
proper tillage and indnstry. The air of this re
gion is salubrious and bracing, and the water
cold and refreshing. This division also offers
abundant facilities for manufacturing, not only
on account of the excellent water-power, but be
cause of the abundance of iron ore, and its con
tiguity to the great railroad system of the North,
West, and South-west. In short, there is scarce
ly a country on the earth which combines in
snch abundance and variety the resources of
mineral, agricultural, manufacturing, and inter
nal commercial wealth. To this section espe
cially we invite the attention of the manufactur-
er arid small farmer. The lands can now be
purchased for one-fifth of what they will proba
bly bring five yeare hence. Now is the time to
invest, to emigrate, and build up a great and
prosperous community.
Bnt, promising as are the upper and central
portions of of the State, their prospective value
must fall short of that of the pine forests, espe
cially when facilities for shipping lumber and
other products peculiar to that region are af
forded. Here tbe land is cheaper Gian in either
of the other divisions, simply because few suc
cessful efforts bgve been made by persons of
adequate means to develop the boundless sources
of wealth which it contains. The lands in this
section, now so cheap, will, in less than twenty
years, exceed by twenty-fold their present value.
Had capitalists twenty years ago imagined that
real estate on Manhattan, Long, Staten and
other islands in the vicinity of New York would
have reached its present value, what fortunes
would they have made ! It was the same way in
Southwestern Georgia, when whole lots of land
could have been bought for $100 which cannot
now be purchased for $10,000. It will be the
case in less than twenty years in Southeastern
Georgia. Now is the time for the organization
of a company to buy up these lands, provide
machinery for outting lip the timber, gathering
and distilling the turpentine and producing rosin,
pitch and tar. This whole region is traversed
by broad streams and railroads. Savannah,
Darien, Brunswick and St. Marys famish fine
points for shipping at convenient intervals, and
at the mouths of nvers down which timber may
be floated in unmeasured abundance. Bruns
wick has the finest harbor south of Norfolk, and
is destined to become an important commercial
port. The Air-Line Railroad from Macon to
that point is now rapidly verging to completion,
which will bring it in direct communication with
all the great thoroughfares toward the West and
Southwest, while its present railroad connection
with the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Road
brings it in connection with the coastwise roads
to the North and far South.
Besides this, a mere glance at the map will
show that the extension of the Air-Lino Road
via Macon to some of the great Pacific lines of
railroad will shorten the distance from ocean to
ocean at least five hundred miles. Now is the
time for men who have only fifties and hundreds
of thousands to become millionaires before they
grow old, and lay the foundation for countless
wealth for their families.

Col. Moorman, Conservative Republican from
Mississippi, had an interview with the President
yesterday in regard to political affairs in that
State. The President was informed that the only
desire of the Conservative Republicans was neutral
ity on the part of the administration, in the pending
elections.
The President replied that he wiehed for the
success of that party which would, in good faith,
cany out the Reconstruction Acts; accept the Fif
teenth Amendment; and give protection to life and
property in Mississippi. He wanted to know
whether the former enemies of the Government
were acting in good faith in their present profes
sions of loyalty, and said this would soon be ascer
tained, in part, by the action of the Conservative
Republicans in Virginia. If they were acting in
good faith, he should be glad to have the influence
and intelligence of that State, and of the South
genenlly, in support of his administration.
The Preeident inquired of Col. Moorman at what
time the Conservative Republicans would nominate ?
and vfaen informed that it would probably be about
the first of September, he said he would see what
kind ef a ticket they wonld put in the field, and
that lie action would be influenced, more or less,
by subsequent events and the course of affairs in
the Sontb. He added, that he desired to see the
payment of the public debt secured and the integrity
arid honor of the nation rendered inviolate; and
when this was accomplished ho would be satisfied.
A Strange Accumulation.
Thomas Dick puts thp hoarding of wealth in
this striking way ;
Suppose a man conld lay up a stock of clothes
and provisions sufficient to last him for three
hundred years what would it avail him, since he
can live at most bnt from seventy to one hun
dred years ? Suppose he had laid up in a Btore
house 70,000 pair of shoes, to what end would
it serve if he could make nse during I113 whole
life, only the'one hundredth part of them ? He
would be in the same condition as a man who
had a hundred dishes before him at dinner, bnt
could only take one; or of a person,who had
a hundred mansions purchased for hi? residence,
but who could only occupy one. How ridiculous
it would app«»r if all that conld be said of a man
while h* Rved was simply this-rthat his whole
lifo rfas occupied in collecting and laying up in a
store house 60,000 mahogany chairs which were
never intended to be used for the furniture of
apartments, or 80,000 pair of trowsers which
were never intended to be worn? And where is
the difference in point of rationality and utility
between such absurd practices, and hoarding
thousands of guineas and bank notes which are
never brought out for the benefit of mankind ?
There is no conduct connected with the pursuits
of human beings that appears more absurd and
wicked than such practices (however common,)
if examined by the dictates'of reason and the
word of God.

The Floods—Replanting with Corn—A Despe

Worm Yet—Indian Depredations—Coast
Still Healthy—All Quiet.
Richmond, Texas, July 25, 1869.'
The telegraph has kept you advised no doubt
of the desolating flood that swept with such
irresistible force and damaging results over the
Valley of the Colorado, not long since. It was
a fearful calamity to whose who were in its
path. A flood so unusual, at this season, can
hardly fail to affect, injuriously, the health of
the country within its influence. This will
benefit druggists and doctors, and as a common
sequence, dealers in burial cases.
Some of those whose crops were destroyed,
are planting corn over, with the hope of making
a little bread. Bnt late com in this country,
whenever tried heretofore, has resulted in fail
ure, even for roasting-ears, on account of the
bud worm. After the great overflow of 1833,
which deluged this country, about the same
time of the year, one gentleman with ten or a
dozen hands, cultivated forty acres of oora, but
he had to “worm” it as they do tobacco, where
this much used and much abused weed is cul
tivated.
We have had fifteen or twenty days of dry
weather, a rather unusual occurrence for this
country for the last four or five years, and cot
ton on the Brazos is beautifuL No worm yet,
bnt this unwelcome, villainous visitor is the
theme of mnch anxious conversation. A bale
to the acre is certain to be realized, if the ene
my only delays his onslaught late in the season.
Indian depredations on our western frontiers
are too common to excite surprise, or be men
tioned. Mr. Lo is making a good thing of it,
stampeding the caravans of merchants, who are
pushing their enterprises in the direction of
New Mexico. Mrs. Lo has a very gay time of
it, reveling amid frills and flounces, surround
ed with innumerable scalps to adorn her sylvan
bower. The subject is too serious a one for
pleasantry. The exposure of onr frontier to
unchecked savage depredations is a crying
shame—a living disgrace to the Government at
Washington.
Galveston and Houston still continue healthy,
but are said to be as dull as grave yards. The
Ocean House at the first named city is said to
be one of the most agreeable spots in the coun
try for spending the summer months pleasant
ly, for those who have.the time and stamps for
indulging in refreshing luxuries.
Crime seems to be on the decrease. The last
two or three weekly ntunbers of the Galveston
papers, which I have seen, fail to mention any
murders or horse stealing, or even hanging for
indulging in the last mentioned pastime. So
many have paid the penalty for practicing that
industry, that their numbers ought now to be
perceptibly diminished. , Fab Fois.

A Noble Retaliation.
An Havana letter of the 20th states that the
patriot General Quesada recently sent a flag of
trace with a letter to the Spanish General Lesca,
proposing to exchange some prisoners. Lesca
responded by saying that the death of a dozen
Spaniards was of no consequence; besides, he
held none of Qnesada's men as prisoners, for as
soon as they fell into his hands he had ordered
them to be shot, and he should continue to pur
sue this same course, When this answer was
received by Quesada, he called the Spanish pris
oners together and said: “Senors, I hold in my
hand a death warrant issued against you, drawn
up by your own chief, Lesca. The reading of
it inspires me with horror;” so saying, he hand
ed the paper to one of his aids, wno read it
alond. Seeing that the prisoners were full of
indignation at the sentiments contained in Les-
ca’s note, Qutsada said to them : “Senors, Gen
eral Quesada is not a General Lesca. I pardon
yon alL You can leave when you will, and to
effect a safe exit for you I will issue the neces
sary passports. ” Whenthe General had finished
speaking, the liberated Spaniards bnrst forth in
shouts for Quesada and free Cuba. Only two of
them asked the necessaiy protection papers to
go to Havana, where they had families, and all
the others immediately incorporated themselves
with the liberating army.
A Monsteb Battle Snake.—The Sumter
Watchman learns from Mr. John G. White that
a rattle snake was killed on his place, about six
miles from Sumter, on Tuesday last, by a freed-
man, measuring six and a half feet in length,
and thirteen and a half inches around tho largest
portion of the body. This deadly monster,
when killed, had bnt eleven rattles and a but
ton. A careful extension, in measurement, of
the gradually decreasing size of the rattles, so
as to bring them to a natural termination at the
point of the button, showed that the eleven rat
tles constituted only about one-third of the
number that belonged to him. This wonld give
him an age of about thirty-six years. It is
known that these snakes frequently lose .their
rattles, or portions of them. Mr. White in
forms us that this snake had been twice seen on
his premises within the past ten years.
A leiteb from Long Branch, in reference to
the appearance of President Grant, says;
“So far the General does not look relaxed.—

Does Alcohol Afford Protection Against
Extremes in Gold and Heat?
HUltBtt 1.
Editors Telegraph: Inorganic matter, under
the influence of solar heat, electricity, friction,
or ehemicsl action rise* to a degree of best com
mensurate with the intensity And duration of the'
exciting cause. On the withdrawal of the Utter
the object acted upon, by conduction or radia
tion, parts with its hast, and resumes the tem
perature of the surrounding medium. IPaji and
the mammalia generally, however, possess the
inherent property of generating and maintain
ing the heat of their bodies at a fixed tempera
ture,-with alight variations, without reference to
the extremes of atmoapberio heat or cold. The
temperature of the human body varies from 98
to 100 degrees; that of birds, from 100 to 110;
of reptiles and fish, differs very little from that
of the air or water they inhabit The Lapland
er, surrounded by perpetual snow and toe, and
the nude savage in equatorial regions, maintain
the same degree of temperature, under precisely
opposite conditions of the atmosphere. Should
the temperature of the body at any time fall five
or six degrees below ninety-eight, death is the
inevitable consequence. It would be interest
ing, then, to inquire what ia the sou roe of ani
mal heat? Ordinary combustion consists in the
chemical union of the oxygen of the air with the
substance to be ignited. Born a pteoe of iron
wire in pure oxygen gas, and its consumption is
attended with the most brilliant scintillations.
The combustion of wood or charcoal arises from
the union of oxygen with ita carbon, resulting
in ihe constant evolution of carbonic acid gas.
The great German Chemist, Baron Lei big, de
clared that the “mutual action between the ele
ments of the food, and the oxygen conveyed by
the circulation of the blood to every part of the
body, is the source of animal heat. That is,
that the animal organism is a fornance wherein
the respiratory process famishes the oxygen,
and the elements of the food the fuel, the union
of which produces the heat that keeps the vital
machinery in motion. Animal diet eonsits of
three different classes of food; the sacchorine,
the oleaginous, and the albuminous. The sac-
chorine contains those farinaceous matters, gum,
sugar, and starch, that are readily convertible
into sugar; the oleaginous includes all oily and
fatty matters; and the albuminous those vegeta
ble and animal substances that are convertible
into the organic tissues.
The saccharine are compounds of hydrogen
and carbon with a definite proportion of oxygen;
just about enough to form water and carbonic
acid. Now in the oleaginous substances, the
proportion of carbon and hydrogin relatively to
oxygen, is far greater than we find in saccharine
matters; hydrogen being highly combustible, a
large amount of heat, therefore, is generated in
the process of this assimilation into the fatty
and nervous tissues. The albominons matters
being so abundantly supplied with those nitro
genous elements that enter directly into the
structure of nearly all the animal tissues, and
the process of this assimilation is so direct and
complete that there is comparatively very little
evolution of heat. It is evident from the fore
going explanation that of all articles of nutri
tion oily and fatty matters are most valuable as
heat producing agents. The process of diges
tion of these substances commences in the
stomach, but they are there only prepared by
the action of the gastric fluids for their final di
gestion by the duodenum or second stomach
and absorption therefrom into the circulation.
Now, in my former communication, it was
stated that the chemical composition of alco
hol is similar, though differing materially, from
fatty matters, in having a much larger relative
proportion of heat-producing elements. As
the burning of these elements—carbon and hy
drogen—is dependent mainly upon the liberal
supply of oxygen through the lungs, the num
ber of respirations must be greatly increased to
meet the demand upon that organ. But what
is the fact ? The number of respirations when
the external temperature is high, while the
body is engaged in moderate, or even severe ex
ercise, is less frequent than in cold weather.
Again, in summer, the amount of oxygen taken
into the lungs at each inspiration is mnch less
than in cold weather, on account of there being
much less watery vapor inhaled under a low
temperature. In the same volume of inspired
air, therefore, in winter, there is a much larger
proportion of oxygen. If the lungs fail to sup
ply a due proportion of material for burning off
an excess of hydrogen and carbon in the blood,
the skin and liver, as co-laborers in the work
of depuration, are called upon; they have their
own duties to perform, in carrying off the waste
of the tissues—consequently, the retention of
more or less of these effete matters must result
in functional derangement of one or more of the
excretory organs.
The Esquimaux Indian will consume, with
much relish, an incredible amount of whale oil
and tallow candles, and without any other as
sistance, endure with impunity the most intense
degree of cold. The excessive demand upon
his blood for these heat-producing agents en
ables him to enjoy them with the ntmost gusto,
and digest them with the greatest facility. The
dweller within the tropics feasts upon the lav
ish production of fruits and vegetables, with
which nature supplies him, in the most un
bounded luxuriance. The enervating influence
of excessive heat incapacitates him for exces
sive physical labor; hence the Beneficent Crea
tor furnishes at his very door those articles of
nutrition best suited to his condition. And here
I may remark that the sedentary, as well as the
laboring population of our country, during the
summer, would probably enjoy a greater ex
emption from biliary disorders by eschewing
snch quantities of “hog and hominy,” and sub
sisting more upon fruits and vegetables. In
protracted hot weather an apology is offered for
the use of alcoholic stimulants, upon the plea
that the loss of appetite requires the stomach
to be waked up to a proper discharge of its
duties. This, to a great degree, is a delusive
fancy; for, where there is not actnal functional
derangement of some organ, nature is the best
monitor. The hard-working laborer burns off
the excess of carbonaceous matter in his blood
by the increased functional activity of his di
gestive organs, and he rarely complains of a
disrelish for his meals. It is the man of seden
tary habits who is the subject of tardy diges
tion. Nature usually indicates the amount of
food required to supply the waste of the tissues.
A state of physioal inactivity is attended with a
comparatively small degree of disintegration of
muscular and nervous matter; hence the de
mand for highly nutritions articles of diet is
proportionally lessened. If, therefore, by al
coholic potations the stomach is Btimniated to
receive more food than it can comfortably di
gest, and convert into the animal tissue, the
excess either remains in the stomach or diges
tive canal for putrid fermentation, the fruitful
source of colic and other ailments, or if digest
ed, it is thrown upon the organs of excretion for
their elimination. Hence the habitual toper is
so often the victim of flatulent distension of the
stomach, acid eructations and bilions diarrhoea.
“The Englishman in Jamaica sees with re
gret the disappearance of his appetite, previ
ously a source of frequently recurring enjoy
ment, and he succeeds by the nse of Cayenne
pepper and the most powerful stimulants in en
abling himself to'take as'much food as he was
accustomed to at home, but the whole of the
carbon thus introduced into the system is not
consumed; the temperature of the air is too
high, and as the oppressive heat does not allow
him to increase the number of respirations by ac
tive exercise, and thus to proportion the waste
to the amount of food taken, disease of some
kind must necessarily ensue.” (Leibeg’s Or
ganic Chemistry.)

Syatekvillb, Ga., July 28, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : Having noticed the re
ports from the different counties of the State,
in regard to the condition of crop*, and the
opinions with reference to the effeotof fertil
izers, as published in yonr valuable Weekly, I
have concluded, with your permission, through
the same channel, to submit, for the informa
tion of others, a- report from the oounty of
Echols. ' • ht.zy.elT
This is one of the last counties made by the
Legislature; and notwithstanding • large por
tion of it is cut up with cypress ponds, hays
and sloughs, which render it unfit for cultiva
tion, there is nevertheless the best long cotton
lands lying upon its riven to be fonnd ia the
State; and these land* are now being rapidly
settled up by emigrants from Middle Georgia
and South Carolina.
The Suwanee river runs across the eastern
corner of the county, and the Suwanoochee. the
left prong of that river, and Tom’a creek alt in
tersect with the main channel near the Florida
line. Bordering upon these streams are lands
now in cultivation that will produce annually
one thousand pounds of long cotton per acre, or
twenty bushels of oora, and these lands can be
purchased for a trifle.
There are other advantages in connection with
these—the flat lands lying around which will
forever afford good range for cattle and hogs.
The streams, also, are full of fish, and the woods
abound with game. There is likewise every fa
cility for transportation, as the Florida branch
of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad runs within
fifteen miles of that section. Emigrants who
settle in that region will not be required to in
vest largely in fertilizers before the lands can
be made to produce. Proper cultivation is all
that is required to reap in harvest time a rich
reward for the husbandmen.
I visited last May the plantation of H. L.
Webster, lying upon the Allapaha river, about
two miles above Statenville, and he showed me
a field of oats, containing 'about thirty aares,
that would average in height about five feet.
We gathered some of the tallest stalks, and
they measured six feet and four inches in
length. I coanted the grains upon one head,
and it numbered three hundred and'four.. We
also oounted fifty-six stalks that grew fram one
grain, well filled and matured—the average
yield was about twenty bushels per acre. He
has the same field in com, and it is now tassel-
ing—and, if no disaster comes upon it, it will
yield at least fifteen bushels of com per acre.
—besides a fine crop of peas. The field has
been in cultivation about six years, and has
never been stimulated with fertilizers.
I have visited recently several of the princi
pal plantations upon the river and I find the
crops very fine—in fact, never better. A field of
fifty acres belonging to Capt- F.' W. Staten, I
think will average twenty bushels of 00m to the
acre, with the prospect of a fine crop of peas.
Wherever the lands have been well cultivated
the crops are fine, and I will here state a fact
that is not generally known in Middle Georgia.
It is this : we never suffer much from drought
in this section. If the rains do not fall regular
ly the water is near the surface of the earth and
it keeps the land moist. Besides, the lands
are sandy and porous and the roots of vege
tation readily penetrate downward to the mois
ture and sustain the crop. That will account
for the fine fields of com, potatoes and cotton
in Southern Georgia while the plantera to the
middle part of the State who cultivate the clay
lands are groaning and complaining for the want
of rain.
There has been a greater quantity of rice
planted this season than usual, and the prospect
is very encouraging. Mr. E. J. W. Prescott
has a field of uphmd rice that will make twenty-
five bushels to the acre, and Mr. H. H. Coach
man and Oapt. F. W. Staten have each a field
of bottom land-in rice that will make thirty
bnshels per acre. It is a matter of regret that
the planters have turned their attention more to
the cnltnre of cotton than cane.
The estimated yield of sugar last season in
this oounty is six^hundred thousand pounds. I
do not think that more than half that amount
will be made from the present crop.
The freedmen and whites have generally
worked well, and I have heard of no disturban
ces from any source in the county between them,
and I will here state another fact—the records
of our courts will show that no man or person of
any character has ever been tried for murder in
this county. There have been bnt two cases of
manslaughter since its organization. One was
aboht the dose of the war and the other was
last spring. In the first case the culprit effected
his escape—in the second the murder was com
mitted near the Florida line by a man who pur
sued his victim aoross the line into Georgia. It
is generally believed that he was justifiable, but
no one knew any thing of the matter until the
crime was committed and he had effected his
escape.
I have stated these facts.in order to let the
world know that we have peace, and that the
wish of the President, so far as Echols is con
cerned, has been complied with and there exists
no necessity, neither is there any excuse for
congressional interference. If we are a free
people all that we ask is to be let alone and we
will endeavor to respect and obey the laws.
The king of Israel, when the land of Pales
tine had been overran and subjugated- by the
Romans, though he was one of the humblest
among his subjects directed that they should
pay tribute to Caesar, and we will do the aame
thing, as we should render unto Caesar the
things that are his.
Physicians are complaining that the country
is distressingly healthy. I have resided in
Southern Georgia ten years, and find the health
of the people, as a general thing, to be better
than it is higher up among the hills. The
diseases are of a bilious character and not so
fatal as they are in Middle Georgia. Floridians
are moving to this section for health which is
the best recommendation that can bS given
npon that question. D. M. J.

A. Coalition In Virginia.
The Wells and Walker Radicals are about
effeoting a coalition in Virginia, which will re- -
store the Radical control of the State and re
lieve all party necessity for Congressional inter
vention. On this subjeot a Washington tele
gram to the New York Tribune says:
“The late Wells party comprised fully two-
thirds of the Republican party of the State.—
The other third supported Mr. Walker for Gov-‘ „
ernor, and formed the balance of power between
the Republicans proper and the Democrats,
which secured the triumph of Walker. The
Wells men now propose to reunite the party,
and their leaders have already offered over
tures to the Walker party, acquiescing in the
result, and offering to turn in and support Gov
ernor Walker, accepting his Richmond speech
as the key-note of the policy of his administra
tion. My informant says the broad doctrine of
universal suffrage and universal amnesty, aa
put forth and advocated by the Tribune, has
Men accepted by the Republicans of Virginia,
and henceforth the party will act in unity an
that platform. The Wells and Walker Repub
licans united, will prevent the Democrats from
gaining control of the Legislature, and secure
two. Republican United States Senators. Should
the efforts for a reunion succeed, the Republi
cans will be unanimous in a request to General
Canby to withdraw the application of the test
oath.”
