The Greorgia, "W"eekly the telegraph. MAOON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, Democratic Party—* Mew Party Mew 'Associates* etc. jgdffnra Telegraph : To those editors •who seem not well satisfied with their past and pres ent associations or with the Domocratio party, and who it seems are much disposed or are anxi ous to Quit or break np their past or present as sociations and organization and "sell ont to” or associate with Radicals, “Conservative Radicals or Republicans,” carbet-baggera or any one else that will give them a hope of even temporary power—I wonld commend the following remarks made by the Hon. Mr. Etheridge, an eld line Whig, (and a Union man in 18G0 and during the war) delivered at Dancyville Tennessoe, on the 13th nit. Rkmocracv.—Mr. Etheridge next addressed himself to the people of every political complex ion present on the subject of tne name or word “Democracy.” As an Old Line "Whig he claimed the right to speak to them. He called for a gentleman (Mr. Gole) not then present, who said he hated the word Democrat. He, the speaker, was no apologist for the Democrats.— But whatis in a name ? In this progressive age names soon lose their party significance, and mean anything or nothing. Let us not be looking to the past. In the name of heaven let ns look to the future. The Democratic party has preserved its identity in the Pacific States, New York, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware only; but grant that it had preversed its organi- ' zation entire. It shows that it was better organ ized and has more vitality than the Whig party, ■"Weh was dead years aeo. _ Bnt let me tell yon now, that if you find an old Democratout in the woods behind a log praying for the return of the Democratic party to power, you will find an old Whig close by pattiDg him on the back.— Talk of not being able—as some of you do—to join “the old, effete, corrupt and rotten Democracy"—why, anything is preferable to Tennessee Radicalism—a thing mi generis, a monstrosity that bad no progenitors, and pray heaven tha’t it leave no posterity! [Applause.] Grant you that the Democratic party, dur ing its long and sometimes brilliant execu tive reign in power, was stained with a crimes of its leaders, too_ often unscrupu lous in their efforts to maintain that power; to its honor and glory be it said that it despoiled no man of his liberties without a trial by his peers. It robbed no man of the franchise ; it was not in favor of great monopolies; it was not the champion of hign taxes; it was not guilty of that stupendous piece of folly—the boast that “ a pnblie debt is a public blessingit impris oned no man; tried and punished no man with out dne process of law; it established no drnm- heafl courts-martial in time of peace; finding no bastiles to pull down, it erected none as a monument of its existence; it was not guilty of that moRt infamous of rallying cries, “rnlu* poptili suprema lex.” To the complete organiza tion of the Democrats of the North; to their he- joio manner, especially since 1862, of resisting alike all threats and blandishments; to their watchword, “ The Union ns it was—the Consti tution as it is’—to them alone we owe it that the bondholders’ dream of imperialism is not an accomplished fact. Grant that the Demo crats were all rebels. For the four years that they held sway in Richmond they never passed a law disfranchising a Union man for loving the old flag or praying for the safe retnm of the boy who went ont to fight for it These things that the rebel Democrat didn’t do in time of war the Radical camp-followers did when the war was over and in time of peace. Talk of rotten Dem ocracy, indeed; Tennessee Radicalism makes the meanest Whig or Democratic regime seem bright. It will be seen that restless as these editors lately seem in their old association, this staunch Old Line Whig and Union man of former days, is perfectly content with his association with Democrats and the Democratic party North and Sonth, and that, in vidw of the past and present condition of the Democratic party, he does not talk about breaking np its present organization, nor does he seem anxiouB to quit his present associates and name and seeks new locality and new friends in place of the same. If these editors are really desirous of follow ing in the “footsteps” of certain Democrats in Virginia, who, while in much stress and for a certain purpose, are now shouting for and sing ing bozannas to such “ true Republicans” as Grant and others, I repeat that, while our State is not even in the condition of these Vir ginia Democrats, these editors really desire to break up the present Democratic organization, quit thoir past and present associates and unite with and throw np their hats for these “Con servatives” or “ true* Republicans,” why they have the right to take such a course, and the sooner they do so the better for our people, the better for the union and harmony of the Demo- eratic masse* or party. We can get along with out them, I hope; therefore, let them go. For my part, I prefer to stand by and uphold, for awhile longer at least, the noble and glorious old organization and its supporters above allnded to by the Hon. Emerson Etheridge; I prefer to stand by those known to be good and true, rath er than quit them, and, for the sake of.expe diency,” nnite with, and shont for those whose hands are still stained with the blood of our liberties, (especially in the South,) and who are still justifying the destruction of our once glorious old Federal Constitution; the destruc tion of which by these "Conservative Republi cans,” has made ns of the South poor indeed save only in honor and principles, and I am for at least saving these, by looking to Ae Demo crats rather than Radicals or Republicans to save them. Another Old Line Whig. The Monroe Advertiser of the 31st reports fine rains there last night. Trains now run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, from Savannah to Brunswick, and re turn on alternate days. Price round trip six dollars. Maj. John P. Lovett and two negroes were shot on Saturday night lastby unknown persons, Hope the injuries will not prove fatal. We had a heavy rain in this city on Monday night We learn it rained from Augusta to this point nlong the Central Railroad. Think it must have been very general. The Albany News of the 31st reports Colonel C. W. Styles still very sick, though convalescing. Drying np of ponds, etc. in that vicinity has ’, caused malarial diseases, mainly fever. The South Georgia and Florida Railroad is completed to tho first station, eleven miles north of Thomasville—will be completed to Ca milla in November, and to Albany by next Jan uary, probably. .. ■_ . . . Burglar Proof Safe —Passing the banking house of Messrs. Cubbedge & Hazlehurst, a few days since, and seeing them putting a new safe into their vault, led us to an examination of the . same. It is one of the late improvements of Herring, Farrell & Sherman. It is a burglar- proof safe—height, 3G inches; width, 27 inches; * depth 22 inches, exclusive of projections. First outside casing, £ inch wrought boiler-plate iron; , seoond, £ inch wrought boiler-plate iron; third, J inch steel and iron welded and tempered; fourth, 1$ inches sepeigel eigen, -or patent . Pranklinite; fifth £ inch wrought boiler-plate iron—whole thickness 2J inches solid. It ap pears to be a perfect safe in all its parts—secure from the various applianoes and tools of bur- glare. These gentlemen have just placed this .'! safe in their vault with a view to a better pro- * V tection of the funds and valuables entrusted to their keeping by their many customers. G*oboia Patents.—The following Georgia .’, patents were granted for the week ending Au gust 10th, 1869 : l." Georgia: W. E. Barber, Van Wert, flood- fence ; /. H. .Ham, Newnan, seed and manure, dropper; Wm. M. Smith- Augusta, hoisting machine; B. F. McCarty, J. W. Orr and R. J. Orr. Florenoe, combination plow.—Constitution Aug. tUt. if. i Editorial Correspondence:. Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, I August SO, 1669.) CoL James Noble, jr., hands me the following memorandum: “The vein of iron ore tapped at Rome Mountain and by the Cornwall Iron Works Company, is one solid and oontinnons vein, and has been traced by the writer for ove forty miles. For a distance of more than twen ty miles a vein of the best bituminous coal runs parallel to it; and for a distance of about twen ty miles these iron veins range from one and a rwu.nnsABT Examination of Louis Lojenthal, Before Justices Wyche, HabmAs and Schofield, Charged with the Murder of Aaron Kemp, on the Evening of August 28, 1869.—The accused was brought into Court at the City Hall, by Sheriff Mar tin, of this county, and Attorneys L. N. Whittle and John B. Weems appeared on behalf of the prisoner, and Lanier A Anderson and Bacon A Simmons for the prosecution. The Court-room was well filled by both whites and blacks, bnt the latter class in much the hugest proportion. The Sheriff called the case and com manded silence, when Mr. Whittle, on the part of half to three miles of the course of the Coosa j the prisoner, stated that the prisoner was before the river—navigable at all seasons of the year.” ■ Court on two different warrants-one for^an assault We have just hidden adieu to the noble Bo-1 to coramit in „ arde , r - the other for , . . - ,• . 0 . tha crime of murder—and asked that the Court mans and are spinning down the road at 2.40 • L V „ - . , ® i quash the former and proceed under the latter, pace.

At this point of the proceedings, Justices Burnett and Logan appeared in Court, and by request of the Magistrates on the bench, took their seats with them. The affidavit of CoL John Cummings, upon which Justice Logan issued the warrant, was_ objected to Yesterday was intensely warm, and this depo- j on t ] ia ground that it failed to state in what year nent rested and kept as quiet as possible.

"We have just passed Big Cedar | linear alba, immediately under the akin of the ab- Creek a beautiful stream with an average of daman; I thought ha would die^and so stated it at tnmy feet rail every mile for thirty miles. Here is land which will produce forty bushels of corn or a bale of cotton to the aero, and on either side of yon a range of hills teeming with miner al wealth. Captain Barney, Superintendent of this Road, tells me he has had many years’ experience in railroad construction in the Northern and Southern States, in the mineral regions of both. He says there is moro_ mineral wealth out-crop ping the earth in four counties on the line of this road than can be found in any four North ern States which can bo named. Part of the way the road is excavated through iron depos- ites. and embankments are made with the rich est ore. For over one hundred and sixty miles at short distances on either side of the line the time in the man’s presence; I do not know that the negro heard me say it; I then asked for some whisky and prepared a dose of morphine and water, as he said he bad been taking whisky; the negro said ho thought he should die; I asked his name of those around, and was told that it was Aaron by a negro boy present; asked for no other name; he was lying in a little house on Fourth street, nearly op posite the guard-house, in what is called Ralston’s Range; I saw the boy afterwards, after my return from supper, about 8 o’clock that evening; the boy died from the effectB of tbs pistol shot; I am a practicing physician and surgeon; the ball may have inclined a little, but lodged almost opposite tho point of entrance, as well as I can remember; I was not with him when he died, bnt have seen his corpse and know that he is dead; I saw the ball; think it was a pistol ball; it was conical in shape; the man died in this city and comity; I did not hear any statements from the dying man as to the cause of his death. Cross-examined: I did not think the man was as tall as I am; he was something under six feet high: the ball came out below the navel in a direct line; I . , think there was some slight inflammation, bnt did are inexhaustible supplies of iron ore of many— no j ; notice how much, as it was of no importance, varieties, indnding red, brown, yellow and ' L ~ 41 gray hematite, of great richness. Here, too, are all the varieties of marble, from the black Egyptian to white statuary. Copper and lead are found within a few miles of the line, and there are even fair gold diggings. The soil of this valley reminds me of that of the celebrated Sweet Water valley—a beautiful Choccolate color, and you can judge of its fer tility when I tell yon that with all the leaves parched and shrivelled—the vitality of the stalk apparently gone, there are still many heavy ears upon it, and it will make twenty to thirty bush els to the acre, in my opinion. We have just stopped at Cave Spring—a beau tiful village upon a level plain, in great part shaded by grand oaks and crossed by little sil very streams. It nestles cosily beneath a range of lofty hills, crowned with magnificent forest trees. At the foot of one of these the spring bursts boldly from the monntain side in suffi cient volume to drive a cotton factory and make a splendid little creek, which runs merrily over beds of pebbles dancing and sparkling in the bright sunshine. It must be a fairy scene here by the bright moonlight, and I am not yet too old to sport with one of these Georgia fairies in snch a place npon occasion. About fifty feet just above this remarkable spring there are two entrances to the cave, craggy and mossy, about eight feet wide. I peeped into one, down a dark abyss to which the sound of falling water gave a considerable depth. Some of onr party explored the other entrance, with candles, to the depth of about 300 yards, bnt I walked on to look at the State Deaf and Dumb Institute, under the charge of Mr. W. O. Connor. It has been vacation since 30th June, when the Institution closed with fifty-eight pupils. The site of this Institution is beautiful, but the buildings are not so well planned as they might have been. I hope the Legislature will sustain it. A few miles below Cave Spring is the point in Polk county, near Tryor’s Station, from which sundry specimens of iron ore were sent the Telegraph a few days ago by your correspond ent H. Here is a wonder of wonders. Acres covered with chnnks of black hematite ore, many of which are eighty to ninety percent, fine iron. On the other side of the road is a solid monntain of ore of extraordinary richness. This is in Polk county, and Polk, I am told, is the richest tract of mineral country—perhaps on the face of the whole earth. Some where about this point on the line of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Road, it is proposed that the Carters- ville and Van "Wert Railroad shall strike. The distance I think, is about forty miles through a country teeming with the mineral wealth de scribed by CoL Mark A. Cooper, in his Carters- ville speech—igneous iron ore of all varieties— marble of all varieties—slate of all varieties and some of them of extraordinary beauty—sand stone—plumbago — copper — gold and many other mineral products too numerous to men tion. No man will believe the wonders of this country unless he sees them, and yon may say this party has yet seen comparatively nothing. It would take months of careful exploration. Here, over the regions through which we have hurried by rail, is two year’s work for a thorough geologist, who should be employed by the State at once to begin elaborate surveys, maps and reports, so that the world may know the value of Georgia, and Georgians themBelves may know the valae of the rich heritage God has given them. I trust the Governor will earn estly impress on the next Legislature the im portonce of beginning an authorized survey at once. But we have just now passed into the jurisdiction of Alabama and. crossed Hurricane Creek. I will therefore drop Georgia sugges tions and conclude. tho ball having passed through the vital organ George Allen, (colored), sworn, says: My name is George Allen; me and this ere "Aaron Kemp started from Huff’s corner to buy a suit of clothes and & pair of boots; tho young man axed us in, (pointing to Mr. Nussbaum): he axed whar we had been at work at, and this ere Aaron Kemp, the man what got killed, said, “down by the railroad;” ho bought some shirts from Mr. Nussbaum. and while ho was getting ’em, the other fellow watched him.

Cross examined—I have told all I knowed abont the thing, except wot he said (Aaron) when he was dying. Hr. Nussbaum sold Aaron two shirts, when we two went in, there was nobody else dere; Aaron paid for de shirts, and got de money ont of his pocket book to pay for ’em; then the prisoner camo in; Aaron put bis pocket book in his pocket; den he axed for a coat, and den be axed for some boots; alter the prisoner lit a gaslight wid a match a little fellow como up and sot on a box; dey have done sent de boy out of de Court: I don’t see him; I did not try to grab de pistol; I spected dey was in fun; de clerk never said nothin’ about no goods dat was stole nor no nothing, till after bo done shot him; nor didn't ax ’em for ’em; prisoner didn't say noth ing, only he told Aaron he was a hard customer; Aaron said ho didn't bny no goods what he didn’t want, and warnt no hard customer at all; de man just told him, “you give up dat money ear;” I have Aaron’s two shirts; he hadn’t nothin, and didn’t drop nothin; de little boy ho was just ahead of Aaron; I ran after Aaron; I seed the little boy ont there, and I 'epect they've ran him outen here, so I shouldn’t see him; it warnt do policeman’s wot grabbed Aaron; it was somebody else; and when I said he haint done nothin, dey turned him looBe; I don’t know Dr. Mettauer, dere was two doctors dere; dey was both white folks; I didn’t say nuffin to de doctors bout dere shootin Aaron cause ho stole; I told them that he waB shot for his money; date what I tole ’em; I didn’t tell anybody so dor, I knows of; dere was some policemans at my house wid de doctors; I don't know Mr. Zander, (here Mr. Zunder rose in Court;) don’t know as I ever seed him at my house, while Aaron was dere; I seed Mr. Cummings, bnt I didn’t sec him at my house dat night; I never told Mr. Avant nor anybody dere, dat de Jews shot Aaron cause he wouldn’t trade; I knows you is trying to catch me somehow; if Aaron hadn't traded wid him he wouldn’t had de shirts; dat’s what I said, and dat’s what I mean; Aaron hadn't trade wid de prisoner at ail; prisoner was standing between mo and Aaron when ho axed him for de money, and when he shot prisoner was three or four steps from de gas pipe: don’t think he was more den that, from de place whar the gas was hung down: prisoner wa3 a running whon he fired do pistol; yes. sir, be was a running; Aaron was shot just as he was getting off de first step: dat’s wot I tinks abont it; I was abont ten feet behind de prisoner when Artou was shot; prisoner tried to catch Aaron by de coat, but he couldn't catch him, so he shot him; mo and Aaron warnt leaning agin anything at all; he was standing juBt so; I didn't see any small boxes; it was a long store, but I didn’t go to de end or it; I don’t think it was fifteen feet from de top of de steps to de gaslight; I seed a heap of boxes, bnt I didn't see any loose goods, nor I didn’t know what was in de boxes; I don’t re member dat de boxes was in onr way coining out: cf dar was any light in do house, I could see a man standing on de steps from whar I stood under de gaslight; I don't think I conld see do whole of do Use of Cotton Goods in China.

The prisoner, standing before the Court, then said : On the 28th of January last, I was eighteen years old; my name is Louis Lilienthah I was in the store at the time the deceased and Geo. Allen eame in; I came to Macon on the 2d of May, 1866; I was engaged bv Messrs. Nussbaum Dannenberg as clerk for them; staid with them five months, and because I got better wages, I went to Mr. Schmir- man's. in Griffin; staid with him from October 1st, 1866. to the 1st day of July. 1867: went back to Nnssbaum <fc Dannenberg’s on the firat day of July, from Griffin to Macon, and staid till first of Octo ber,when I went back and staid with Mr. Scheurman till 2d of May, 1868; on that day I left to go North, and go to college; I staid in college four months and came back to Nusebanm A Dannenberg’s,where I have remained until this time. When George Allen and the deceased came in the store, Mr. Nussbaum had been waiting on them, and told me to show them a coat, because Mr. Hirsch wanted to see him on business, and he handed his customers over to me; I showed him a coat, bnt he was not suited: he asked ma then for a pair of shoes; I conld not suit him in the shoes; he asked me at what price I would sell him a pair of boote; I told him (the deceased) three dollars to three and a half and upwards; deceased asked mo to show him a pair, and I told him to walk up stairs; I took matches along beforehand and then got on little steps under the gaslight to light the gas; while I was doing that, the deceased walkod up to some boxes of hosiery standing there, and while lighting the gas I saw him place a box of hosiery under his coat; he put his hands behind him, and backed up to some boxes of boots and shoes standing near him; he did not take his hands from behind him; I asked him what number of boots he wore; he said number ten; and did not tell me what kind ho wanted, nor change bis position from the wav he stood when he took the box of hosiery: my little brother had come up just a few minutes before that; seeing he had stoi n something. I went into tho back room and took from under the pillow of my bed a Smith A Wesson’s revolver—a five shoot er; I walked back to the deceased and laid my hand on liis right shoulder, or somewhere near there: I said: “Uncle, give up what you stole;’’ he broke and ran, and I think ia running I tore his coat some where on the right shoulder; I hallooed “hold on- stop thief;” he kc-yt on running, and whon he was one or two steps dawn the stairs I fired: I did not mean to shoot tho deceased at all; he run down stairs and went outside in front of Wrigley A Knott’s hardware store, where they caught him; he said ho was shot, and I said I shot him: Mr. Avant, the police man, came along; I weut into the store with him and a8kel Mr. Nussbaum to bail me out; Mr. Avant Said it cculd not be done; I put on my coat and h t and wens with Mr. Avant to whore they had laid deceased on side walk in front of the last door of Wrigley & Knott'B store; Mr. Avant looked over some o*nes shoulder and saw him lying there: I stood by his side and told him to como on and he earned mo to prison; that’s all, sir. Upon reading prisoner’s statement, he begged leave to supply an omission, saying: I forgot to say that after I had shot deceased he dropped ilie box or hosiery from under his coat upon tho third step of the store leading down stairs into the street; I picked it np and brought it down and showed it to several about there; think mylittlo brother after wards took tho box out of my hand, and I do not know what, afterwards, became of it; that is all. The prisoner, by request of Hon. Geo. M. Logan, ono of the Magistrates, signed the statement just made by the prisoner. By order of tho Court tho negro witness, George Allen, was then introduced for the purposo of iden tification. Tho prisoner stated that Gooige was the negro who accompanied deceased. Mr. T. D. Tinsley, sworn on tho part of the de fense, says: I saw George Allen on last Saturday afternoon: I saw him in the crowd collected aronnd the negro who was shot; it was on tho street near Dr. Mettaner’s office. Here, in compliance with the wishes of counsel, George Allen, the negro witness of the day before was iccalled. George said: 1 do not know as I ever seed Mr. Tinsley; I seed Aaron Kemp lying on de sidewalk, just fore Massenburg’s corner; dar’s whar wo pat him on do dray; dere was a great many people dar: I don’t think dey was all colored peo ple; I didn’t know any of the white people dar; don’t know Mr. Tinsley; if I seed him don't know it; dar was one whito man dar I knowed. dn man wot got his money; should know his name if I heard it; think it was Avant, bnt don't know; Aaron wasn't shot at de corner; I said de reason de man shot Aaron was because he didn't give up his money; didn’t say nuffin at all bout his not trading; ef lie hadn't traded whar did he get his shirts? dat is what I said; I never heard no colored man say dat Aaron got shot kase he wouldn’t trade wid do Jew. nor dat I had said so to anybody; when I went to Carey W Cox’s arter a bucket of water, do Doctor came: I warnt dere; I went to my houee arter somo pillows to lay de man on; have tole you several times wot I said; never tole Dr Mettauer dat Aaron got shot kase lie wouldn't trade; don’t know Dr. Mettauer as I knows of. T. D. Tinsley, recalled, says: Saw George Allen push his way through the crowd in front of Dr. Mettauer’s office, bad heard him make exclamations of grief and sorrow; they were very extravagant andlond; I assisted Cant. J. A Simpson in giving deceased water and brandy; I heard some ono in the crowd say that a Jow shot deceased for nothing in God’s world, but because he wouldn’t trade with him; can’t say who made tho remark; there was a large crowd cosgregated there, heard no ono state tho man was shot because bo would not give np his money, when it was demanded of him; George Al len bad as good opportunity to hear all that was said as I had. I was bonding over deceased at tho time; if anybody had been in tho outskirts of tho party, I might not have hoard what was said, but lieing near mo I could not avoid hearing, nor do I think conld George Allen havo helped hearing them: bad George Allen said this at tho tirno, I certainly should have hoard it; I know of no other facts bear ing upon the case, except that I hoard Georgo A1 on ask those aronnd to take deceased to his bouse, where he wonld tako care of him; did not hear the pistol Bhot. Cross-examined: I never saw Georgo Allen be fore: it was the first tirno I ever saw him; cannot say I ever heard George make any statement as to the cause of the killing; the attention of George Allen toward the dying man gave evidence of his being some sort of a relation; do not know that George remained there all the time up to tho re moval of his body; can form no estimate of tbe number of persons there; were perhaps from fifty to seventy-tivo women, men and children; do not think there were one hundred present. It should be stated hero that the counsel for the State protested against the admission of this testi mony, as mostly irrelevant to the subject matter be fore the Court. H. Mettauer, M. D., sworn, says: I simply ex tracted tbe ball from deceased; do not know whose house it was; it was opposite tlio guard-house, ono of Ralston's houses, I think: did not examine t he wound particularly; found the abdomen distended by clots of blood; know the man was dying when I called; by desire of those present, I extracted the ball. Seligman Zunder, sworn, says: My name is S. Zunder; saw George Allen first time at a quarter past seven Saturday night last, at a shanty in Ral ston’s estate, nearly opposite the giiard-hjn.se; a great number of white persons wero about the doors and windows; do not know whether Dr. Mcttanor had been there or not; never saw George Allen and Dr. Mettauer together: Louis told mo that great ex citement existed among the negroes on account of Louis Lilienthal having shot a negro, aud I went to see about it; got permission to go where deceased was lying; saw officer Whippier guarding the door, went in and saw the officer receive the ball which Dr. Mattauer had cut out of the abdomen of de ceased; saw a negro there that to tho best of my knowledge and belief was Georgo Alien, now present in Court; have seen George Alton twice; perhaps forty-five minutes in all; could pick him out in this Court-room; saw liim at the shanty noar the guard house. and then I saw him on the stand as a wit ness; I ought to know a man when I eee him twice: George Allen was asked by some ono in the room what the Jew killed tho man for. Cross-examined: I said in my direct examination that I thought tho witness Georgo Allen, now in Court; was the man that I saw in tbe shanty; aiuld have picked him ont anywhere; I thought that to say to tho best of my knowledge and belief I knew the man, was sufficient to prove his identity; I stated at first that to the best of my knowledge and belief tho witness, Georgo Allen, is tho man I saw at the shanty where deceased was lying; did not know his namo at the time; George AUen was asked by some ono in tho room, “What did tho Jew kill him for ?'* and George AUen, who was at tho head of tho dying man, said in answer, “For nothing, but because he wouldn’t trade with him;” the room was full of peo ple; I noticed Mayor Obear, Col. Cummings, Capt. Simpson and others on tho outside of the premises; I was ieside the room when tho ball was given to officer Whippier; the room was a very small one; I have examined the premises where Aaron Kemp was shot; (hero a diagram was shown to the witness:) C be again resolved into two as the warm weather returns. In the South, at Foo-chow- foo, a high mandarin told the Consnl that people of his class change their linen only once in ten or twelve days. He was rather cleaner than tho ordinary ran of manda rins, many of whom seldom change thoir under clothing more than once perhaps in the winter, and not more than once every three weeks in the summer. The same Consul says that the Chi nese do not use sheets for their bedding, but cover themselves with thickly wadded counter panes, made of silk or nankeen cotton cloth. The Consnl at Swato notices an increasing de mand for textile fabrics, and believes it will go on. At present, however, he says the country people follow their agricultural pursuits, and carry on their dan fights in the state of Adam before the fall, merely donning their short trowsars and scanty jackets on their return to their homes. - A clothed husbandman, however, is becoming a more common sight than in past years. ___ Planters about Griffin expect to have the most of their cotton in market by the middle of November. wpm ; my l right 'fore do gn&rdbouse door, bout baif arter four dis yor Sunday morning; do man dat sets dar wid a handkerchief in his hand, (pointing to the prison er.) shot Aaron Kemp; he knows me, cause he al ien* calls me Sam. By request of Judge Anderson, one of the State counsel, Justice Logan adjourned tbe Coart until to-morrow, (this morning,) at 9 o’clock. POELDONABY EXAMINATION OF IiOUIS LUJENTHAL, Chaboed with the Murder of Aaron Kemp. Second Day.—Court met yesterday pursuant to adjournment, and at a quarter after nine a. m., the Sheriff entered the Court-room with the prisoner in charge. As on the preceding day the Court-room was crowded, and mostly by negroes) who seem to takegreatlntereetin.theresnltof the case. At 10 o’clock the case was called, Justices Wyche, Logan, Burnett. Harman and Schofield on the bench. The counsel for the State then stated that at this point in the case they had no more evidence to offer; npon which Col. Whittle, on behalf of the prisoner, stated that his client would make his state ment before the Court, giving an account of the events aa they actually oocnrred. .-*/• 'ef/, f t* »* * 'J , *. * # :• • xJcji#‘V&l* • animation of witnesses was resumed. Immediately' part of-the store, and by the time I got back to the after the testimony of the last witneee wae read, front of the store, I heard “stop thief” from up ,, ., _. stairs, and right afterwards I heard a pistol shot; Mr. Zander then arid: Standing at C, a ram udght 81W deosaeed nmmng down stairs ae fast as he see the head and shoulders of a man standing at the -- ** head of the stairs; in order for the prisoner to have .been able to shoot Aaron Kemp. be must have been aa far aa the point indicated by the letter B; have never known prisoner intimately; it may have been two or three years since I first met with him; I knew hi* character from hearsay; know nothing against it, until the shooting; he is a co-religionist of mine, and had there been a word against his diameter, I should most certainly have known it; from my knowledge of Mr. Lilienthal's character, previous to the shooting affair, I should ssy it was good; Mr. Dannenberg, one of his employers, stated • to me previous to his leaving for New. York: “I can boast of as good and honest a set of clerks as can be ob tained anywhere;” I consider the character' of the prisoner good for honesty and Integrity; also con sider him a quiet and peaceable citizen; saw George AUen twice on the evening that deceased waa shot; met Mr. Shropshire (local editor of the Telegraph) at the store of Messrs. Nnssbaum A Dannenberg, and with him went to view the body; Capri Simpson cautioned Sir. Shropshire not to say anything abont the case in his paper in my presence: George Allen waa there at tho time: ho (George Allen) gave Mr. Shropshire an entirely different acconnt from what he liad given mo prerionsly; the story he told Mr. Shropshire was somewhat different from that he has sworn to on the stand aa a witness; he told Mr. Shropshire the Jow said Aaron bad stolen some thing: he added: “I swear I didn’t see anything;” lie stated that the Jew took him by the coat and held tho pistol to him. . „ _ , Cross examined: I know Maj Gallagher, he was almost kneeling bv deceased when I went there with Mr. Shropshire; I'don’t think Maj..GaUagher heard what was said to Mr. Shropshire; while Mr. Gal lagher was present he was tne only spokesman till the Captain of Police whispered something in his ear, upon which the Major got np and went ont; I never doubted tho identity of George Allen; I felt in doubt as to how I had better express myself,with several gentlemen on Monday morning; at a quar ter past nine, I first visited the scene of the murder; have been there to-day and re-examined tho place; did not measure the distances laid down in the dia gram now before the Conrt, but I give the opinion that the diagram is correct, to the best or my knowl edge and benef, having peen both the room and the diagram: by the words “knowledge and belief,” I mean as far as I know, and bo far as I believe from my knowledge; when I knoio anything. I believe it to' bo a fact, (great laughter;) am not an American, and I givo my ideas the best way that I know bow; if I wero asked if Judge 'Wyche was on that bench, I would say to the best of my knowledge and belief that is Mr. Wyche; (roars of laughter:) that iB my way of speaking; if you tell mo anything. I respect it in a Court of Justice as something I have beard positive; as regards identity of person. I always say “to the best of my knowledge and belief;” tho state ment I heard mado by George Allen to Mr. Shrop shire, was made a quarter of an hour after the first statement mado in my hearing; both statements were made on Saturday night; think there was but ono window to the shanty where deceased died; 8 feet winning* could go; people outside began to run after him, and a few minutes afterwards the prisoner came inside the store and a policeman came with him, who said the prisoner must go with him to the guard-boose: Louis asked me if I wonld bail him out. told him I would if I oould; can identify George Allen if re quired to do so; do not remember that I saw George Allen after the shot was fired; when the pistol was fired deceased ran down first, Louis next, and the prisoner’s little brother, I think, came running down last; do not remember seeing anything on the steps, bnt Lonis handed me tbe box afterwards that had been stolen from the store, before anything was said to me abont bail; it was fonr or five minutes after Ixrais had oome down stairs; I was standing near the steps when prisoner first came down; he was running after deceased; he waa gone abont two minutes; when be came back he went directly after the box of ladies’ hose that had been stolen; he brought them to me and said, “here are the stolen goods that were taken from the store;” prisoner is a half brother of mine; have known prisoner for six or seven years, and know his general character, and I ought to know it by this time: I call it first rate; he entered onr employment in 1866, bnt has not been in it all the time; I pay him $90 per month and his washing; he sleeps in the store, for which he is not charged anything; I regard his character as first rate; he ib faithful, industrious and hard-working; never knew him to quairel or fight; he is always very peaceable. Cross examined: I am prisoners’ half brother; when these parties were going up stairs, I waa in the rear of tbe store, and did not see them go up; when I heard the cry of “stop thief.” I was at the foot of the stairs, three feet apart from Mr. Al brecht. when the pistol was fired; don't think Mr. Albrecht was standing under tho stairs: deceased came down stairs first, prisoner following him, abont three feet in his rear; both ran out of the door; prisoner came back alone two or three min utes afterwards; he then went up stairs, returning with a box of hose which he gave me; the police man (Mr. Avant) then came in and made the arrest of the prisoner, who asked me to bail him ont; I left the box on the second counter from the door, near the middle of the store, not in the rear of the stairway; the prisoner did not bring the box down with him when ho first came down; I left the box on the counter, and do not recollect having it in my hands any more that evening; prisoner gave me the stolen box before he was arrested; at this time there was so much excitement, that I really do not know whether I showed tho box to policeman Avant or not; have no recollection of showing the box to policeman Avant, or saying to him that deceased had stolen that box: did not invite either of the negroes to come and trade at the store; they came in of their own accord; do not recollect seeing Geo. AUen before he came in with Allen Kemp. Direct examination resumed: I believe all I have said about tho box of stolen hosiery to be true; think I am positive on thi9 point; the goods in our store had been pUed up for nearly a week when Mr. Zunder came to examine the premises; they have not been disturbed in tho least since the negro gas I think this diagram is correct as to the position of the goods in the store; I saw the premises yesterday ami again this morning; tho piles of goods on the passage way near the stairs average eight feet high, I should think: if a person waB proceeding from tho gaslight to the steps for the purpose of ranning down the stairs, he would have to ran a circuitous course; ho could not climb over the goods, they are too high; a person standing at A, on the diagram, oould not seo a person standing at the head Of the stairs, owing to the goods. We would have to go down the passage near tho letter C before he oould see a man on tho stairs. . Tbe Court then adjourned till 8 o’clock p. X. afternoon procekwsos. Court met pursuant to adjournment, and the ex* Mayor Obearwas near the window; CoL Cummings, Chiof of Police, was about ten feet away; deceased was shot; Mr. Albrecht was not in front of the was lying inside the room, his feet about three feet steps; he was on tho side, three or four feet off, I from the door; CoL Cummings was talking to the should say; our store has three front doors, all of police at tho time, and Capri Simpson was standing j which were open; the steps commence to go up a noar him; I was at the house on my first visit abont; foot or a foot and a half from the right hand door: thirty minutes, I think; Geo. Allen was thore when I was a little excited when the shooting affair trans- I first wont, and as far as I conld see waa there ! pired; during the chase of deceased by Louis, I do when I loft; he was there when I got back with Mr. not know what I was doing, only that I was behind Shropshire; we staid about fifteen minutes the 1 the counter; remained in the store and did not fol- eecoud visit; fonr or five negroes were sitting'low the prisoner and the deceased to see where they aronnd tho wounded man, while I was there on both went to. occasions; if they wore here I conld pick ont one of them; when thewo statements were made to Mr. Shropshire. Maj. Gallagher was kneeling down; Mr. Shropshire entered and stood near; Maj. Gallagher, I think, did not hear the statements made to Mr. Shropshire; I listened to Maj. Gallagher some five minutes, perhaps; his conversation was to me very interesting; think there wero candles lighted on the floor: I remained abont ten minntes after Maj. G. went ont of t'ie room. George T. Van Epps, sworn, says: Am acquainted with the prisoner; have known him five or six months; have never known anything disreputable of him; an association to which he belongs speak of liim as a very peaceable young man; never heard liia character for honcety and integrity assailed. Siefred lilienthal, sworn says: Am a brother of the prisoner; I was fifteen years old first of Mardi, 1869; am a clerk for Nnssbaum A Danneberg; was in the store on Saturday evening last when Aaron Kemp waB shot; did not see him when he en- After reading the written testimony of witness, there seemed to be some doubt existing in tbe minds of the Court, as to the exact meaning of the language used by witness. The Court (Justice Wyche) asked the witness: Did yon or did you not, on Saturday evening, give that box of hosieiy to the policeman, Mr. Avant ? Answer: I did not; in explanation it was stated by witness, that ho thought it was his duty to give the property alleged to be stolen in charge of the police, but in the excitement of the occasion, he forgot to do so. Mr. M. M. Hirsch, sworn says: I was at Nuss baum & Danenberg's store on Saturday evening last between 6 and 7 o’clock; met there with Mr. Hemy Albrecht; when I entered the store Mr. Nuss baum was selling goods to two colored men; was tryiDg to sell them clothing; I told Mr. Nussbaum I wanted to see him on business, Mr. N. then called tored the store; George Allen was with him when I j an( j away with me; when I got through fireri saw deceased; Mr. Nussbaum waB showing the witll Mr. Nussbaum I went in front of the store; negroes some coats; he did not continue to wait on them; prisoner waited on them, and went upstairs with them; did not go upstairs with my brother, Aaron and George, bnt went up shortly afterwards; was ordered upstairs by another clerk: wliei I went npstairs I sat down on a stepladder that stood under the gaslight; I was three or four feet from Aaron Kemp, when I sat down; the prisoner went into the back room; when he came out he asked Kemp to givo np that box he had stolen; as soon as brother said that, Kemp ran; prisoner ran after him and grabbed him bv the coat; Kemp slipped through his while I was talking with some friends I heard a shot and the words “stop him.” Cannot tell which I heard first there waa so much excitement; I ran after the colored man; when he got to tho Expross office nobody had caught him; there was a big noise made by George Allen, who said to me that the other negro had been shot; when the police got hold of deceased I ran back to the store, where I met prisoner with a pistol in one hand and a green box m tho other; he made this remark: “This is tho box he stole.” Mr. Avant, the policeman, then came a — _ ... .- . . „ - , in and told prisoner he must go along; when Aaron hands, when pnsoner ran after him ana hallooed to j jj enj p ran out I can’t say whether Louis followed him to stop: Kemp kept on ranning tin he got f° j himornot; when policeman Avant came in the store - . ^ , , himornot; when policeman Avant the second step of the stairs, when prisoner fired; I waa standing behind the counter with the pis- Kemp then dropped^ the box; when I reacbqd the tol lying on it; somebody sung out, “Avant, take that*pistol;” don’t know what became of the box, Mr. Avant, I think, arrested prisoner in tha store, sidewalk, the people on the street had caught him, in front of Wngley A Knott’s store.

' Farming in Early County, We have been furnished with an extract from a letter written by a planter in the Southern part of the State, to a relative in Pennsylvania, which will be read with interest: In regard to your inquiries about the price of our lauds and the general prospects of the country, I am happy to send you more cheering accounts. Under the influence of the best crop made for the past ten years, our real estate is slowly bat surely advancing, and before tho close of the year it will command something like its worth. * * * Still, considering its intrinsic value, our best lands are probably cheaper than in any other part of the State. Doubtless you noticed in the Macon Tel*, graph—yon still take the paper, I suppose— a prediction that vast fortunes would be made by speculations in the oak and hickory lands of Southwestern Georgia, and the paper was cor. rect. The Almighty has done more for this section than for any country I have ever seen. * * * The profits some of our fanners are making this year, exceed the results of any legitimate business I have ever heard of, and a statement of some instances, to' illustrate what I say, will severely tax the credulity of those not advised of the wonderful resources of onr better class of land. You reoollect I rented the R place, on Spring creek to. Mr——. Ho carried on the place six moles, worth about $1,000, and certainly net over $500 worth of corn and plantation plunder, his current expenses up to next January will not exceed $500, he has simply directed the labor, and consequently enjoyed much, leisure. He will clear at least 30 bags of cotton, worth to day in Fort Gaines $3,900. Bnt let us set don these figures together,.aadl hope you will study them, bearing in mind that the Government hu done, and i3 doing every thing Yankee ingenui ty can suggest, to oppress the South, and that we are tho most and worst governed people on the face of the earth. Item 1—Six Mules $1,000 Item 2—Wagons, Gear, etc 150 Item 3—Com and current expenses, etc.. 850 Item 4—Labor (part of crop,estimated at). 3,700 $5,700 But observe the mules are still on hand, *ho the wagons, etc., and fully $350 of item 3, vii: the greater of the current expenses, and all the labor is paid after the crop is in market. So in fact Mr. has only risked Hire six mules $250 Feed nine mules;..., Hire wagons, etc 25 Cnrrentexpenses..... -y— 200 ••• • - $775 Hera then is a ca9e where a man has risked $775, and made by the year’s operation $3,900.

Cross examined: The box of hosiory Aaron stole was worth two or three dollars; George Allen stood five or six feet back of us in the rear; when brother came out of his room I was under the gaslight; Ko:np was standing dose to George Allen at the faced the prisoner; don’t know where deceased had liis bands; passage between the pile of goods was quite narrow; near tiie gaslight it was notmorethan three feet; it was wide enough for deceased to ran by mo without my getting out of tho way where I was seated; Aaron ran by me and brother followed him; when they ran they were abont two feet apart, perhaps; when Kemp got to the stairs, prisoner was three paces from him, and I ran up close to my brother; George Allen was behind me somewhere; deceased dropped the hosiery he stole on the second or third stair step; saw him drop it from behind un der bis coat; bo dropped the box right after being shot: did not pick up the box; brother got down the steps before I did; the box was on the steps when I passed down; Kemp had the box under his coat sumowhero while ranning; don’t know how he held on to it; did not notice the box till I saw Aaron Kemp drop it; can’t say where Aaron had his hands while running: when brother came from the back room he told Aaron to give np the box ho had stolen; I did not halloo or say anything; Mr. Hirsch, one of our clerks, and another gentleman. Mr. E. Woolf, and Mr. Nussbaum were down stairs; Mr. Nussbaum and Sir. Hirsch were in the back part of the store: Mr. All blight was there also; I think when brother and the negroes wont up stairs four persons beside me were below, Mr. Hirsch, Mr. Nussbaum, Mr. Woolf and Mr. AUbright; my brother said not a word abont boots when he ordered him to give up tho box; brother had tho gas lighted; when I got up stairs he was standing near it; whon I camo up he weut back into bis room.

Third Day:—Court met pursuant to adjournment, and at 10 minutes past 10 o’clock, Conat&blo James Cain entered the Court-room with the prisoner in charge, the Sheriff of tho county having gone to At lanta the evening before on professional business, . The Court then ordered the examination to pro ceed. Tho first witness examined was Mr. Henry Albrecht, who being duly sworn, deposeB and says: I was at tho store of Nussbaum A Dannenberg on Saturday afternoon about 6 o’clock; was there all the time of the shooting, in front of the Btair steps, in the store, standing on the steps; heard the words, “stop the thief:" once I heard “stop tho thief,”and onne “hold the thief;" this was at the time tho shooting was going on or a little before: first man I saw coming down the stairs waB tbe thief; I then knowledge and belief, the man who stands up (George Allen) is tho man who said the Jew shot him because ho would not bny a pair of boots from him: havo seen him before, I think; do not swear positively he is the man. Cross-examined: Saw George Allen only while I waB talking with him, say four or five minntes; he would say that if he (Geoige Allen) was dressed dif ferently that evening, he would only swear that he favored him; I gave a description of George AUen before I saw him this morning, and the. description now suits tho man who is in conrt and answers to his name; the description that I gave and now refer to is, that the man is a taU black man and had on a light, or vellow, or some other sort of a coat. S Zuniler recalled: I had an opportunity of see ing the dving man and examining the course of the ban; tho'ball had been cut- out when I came there; tho wound in front seemed somewhat lower than it. was behind; am sure it was lower in front than in the rear; (witness examined diagram shown him;) I find that the passage way for eight feet long under the gaslight ia about six feet wide, and that the balance is some two and a half feet wide; I have examined the piles of goods; they measure five, seven and eight feet high; at the comers the goods measure fnU seven feet high. Mr. W. R. Avant, sworn, says: On Saturday evening, at G o’clock, I was standing near Hasdai's liquor store, on Third street, when! heard a pistol shot in the direction of Nussbaum & Dannenberg’s store; I started at once, and was a quarter of the way across the street when I saw four men come out of the store—two negroes and two whites; I found the party had been stopped in front of Wng ley & Kuott's store; I went up to a negro man who seemed to be attracting some attention, and asked what was the matter? The answer waa from Aaron Kemp. “I am shot;” I went across tho street double quick time, or as quick aa I could get there: I said to tho negro, “I reckon not;” he replied I am a dead man, sir;” I asked him how he was shot; he showed me by his fingers and said, “I’m shot through the body;” on raising his clothing I found him shot through the body; asked the question who shot him; two or three answered me at once; Geo. Allen was one of them; I at once arrested Mr. Lilienthal and took him to the Guardhouse; ho had a Smith A Wesson pistol in his hand at the time of his arrest; I went behind the counter of the store afterward and got a pistol; when I arrested him I said to him: “I want that pistol;’’he did not hand it to me. bnt laid it down on the counter, from whence I took it; it was some three or four minutes after tho pistol was fired when I arrested the pri soner, thero was much excitement at the time; as I M H , started with the prisoner to the Guardhouse, Mr. ran awav, because I thought I waa shot myself; I j Nussbaum came to me with a green box' and said: was excited; I never knew Lonis Lilientbal before “Here is the goods that have been stolen,” or words deceased ran out and they caught him near the Ex-' to that effect; I said I had no use for it; cannot say press offleo: saw another negro that night; he wanted! whero ho put it; thero was a bit of cord tied around to say something, but Mr. Avant told him to “shut the box: at the time the negro told me he was shot, up, for he had nothing to say;” should not luiow tbe I think ha knew he was about to die; ho said to me, negro if I saw him.

In your country where a farmer, wiA a tax list of $G000, labors daily in his fields harder than one of our old slaves, them instances sill scarcely be credited, and yet our negroes receive a larger proportion of the gross yield of Ae land Aan your farm laborer. It.is true, where lag® amounts are expended for manures, or where Ae soil is heavy, and consequently Ae mole force, Ae expensive item of plantation economy must be proportionally larger, Aese profits are impossible. But even with Aese disadvantages, Ae profits are extraordinary, considering the little capital one must risk. Nor will this state of things change materially for some years to como. The people of Ae SouA are getting the labor possible under our present system, out of Ae free negro, and yet this crop will not much exceed three million bags, and next yets it will hardly be so large. It will take years to get tho Chinese here steady at work* and in the meantime cotton must hold ite own. J. M. M. Sleepy Hollow, near Blakely, Aug. 28, ’G9. Serious Difference* in the Cabinet.
