THE TELEGRAPH
MACON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1869.
Tfe* Troubles or Civil Disturbance.—The
distress among the laborers in Spain, conse
quent npon a prolonged period of civil yar and
disturbance, is cansing troubles that aeriously
interfere with the resumption of prosperity, and
the happy inauguration of his reign for that
Italian prinoeling, who, we are told, is soon to
asshma Isabella’s forsaken coronet. The Barce
Iona strike has beoome alarming. Other strikes
were not so well sustained and have been put
down. If this increases, they may revive, and
the anarchy we all supposed to be avoided may
crop out. It is safe to be prepared for any
eventualities in Spain now.
The Riviwtw River.—The Savannah River
has only three feet six inches of water at Au
gusta, and tho Constitutionalist says river trade
between that city and Savannah has been sus
pended. Tho steamers accustomed to ply be.
tween these ports are unable to cross the seve
ral bars in the river, to the great inconvenience
of shippers, and to the manifest detriment of
planters along the river. It is hoped that this
may bo remedied by timely rains and a rise in
the river, which, from present appearances,
however, is not very promising.
The Pennsylvania Election.—-The Washing
ton specials to The IiOUISville Gani-ior-.Lmraol
say that letters from Pennsylvania Democrats
of prominence, express the greatest confidence
in the election of Packer for Governor, on Oc
tober 13th. Tho change in the local ticket in
Philadelphia has added very materially to the
strength of the Democratic ticket in the State.
Forney says that unless the Republicans poll a
full vote the State is lost. It is estimated that
there are 5,000 disaffected Republicans who
won’t vote for Geary.
Chinese Immigration.—The Kentucky pa
pers have published a letter from Hon. R. M. T.
Hunter on Chinese immigration, written to a
gentleman who had solicited his views on the
subject. Mr. H. does not regard this class of
population desirable in Virginia or Kentucky,
but thinks it may be of great service in the cot
ton, rice, and sugar States. He is of opinion
that the question of whether the Chinese are to
come will settle itself, under the great natural
law of self-interest, irrespective of the views of
politicians or the legislation of Congress.
Death ov Northern Shipbuilding.—The New
York Times records the somewhat startling fact
that “at this moment but one new vessel is on
the stocks” in the ship-yards of that city. This
is the effect of Radical legislation. If the same
party remains in power mnch longer, all the
other interests of the country will be in a like
dilapidated condition.
Educational.—We are glad to see that that
experienced and able instructor, Rev. W. C.
Wilkes, with a very strong corps of assistants,
is abont to take charge of Spalding Seminary,
at Griffin. The fall term begins on Monday, the
4th day of October next, and we direct the at
tention of parents and guardians to the adver
tised announcement in another place.
Kentucky has an easily-worked quarry.—
Spontaneous blasts take place where no holes
have been drilled and no powder used. The de
tonation is very loud and the rocks are rent in
a remarkable manner. So violent are these oc
currences that workmen cannot be induced to
work in the rock, which is a species of mar
ble.
Go it, Boston.—A recent Boston publication,
based upon letters from several hnndred cotton
planters, states that when labor is fully organ
ized and the people cordially united in favor of
the laws, that section can produce at least one
hundred millions of bales of cotton annually.
That must be a “big-organ”-ization of the labor
here which will produce one hnndred millions
of bales of cotton.
Colonel Washington Poe.—We were pained
to learn, yestesday, that this distinguished citi
zen of Macon was dangerously ilL The reports
from him at night, however, were more favor
able, and we trust his useful and valuable life
will be spared to his family and the community.
The result of the California election so far
shows forty-eight Democrats and three Radicals
are elected to the Assembly, with twelve Demo
crats Senators; Radicals four or five. The
Democratic popular majority will be about
twelvo thousand. The next United States Sen
ator from California will, is is thought, be a
Democrat.
Col. Hulbert's Speech.—The Intelligencer
of yesterday contains; an. authorized report of
Colonel HulbCrt’s speech, delivered- before the
Georgia Press, on the steamer Etowah, upon
the condition and prospects of the State Road.
We will make room for it to to-morrow.
Homage Co Material Greatness.
The Israelites who worshipped the golden calf
in the wilderness were neither the first nor last
people guilty of that weakness. The homage
paid to mere material success and greatness is
universal and no people are superior to it. We
in the South are just now beginning to profit by
it. Tell ns, gentle reader, why it is that of a
sadden the bloody catalogue'of rebel outrages
npon the poor defenceless freedmen has been cnt
short. "How is it that the “ sensibilities of the
nation” are not now regularly shocked every
morning before breakfast with the horrid story
of some Sambo flayed alive and murdered by the
barbarous rebels?
Some will perhaps say that it is because no
elections are pending and nothing is to be gained
by it. But important State elections are pend
ing, and, besides, our own experience since the
dose of the war should teach, that this kind of
labor in the interests of Radicalism never slum
bered because no elections were pending. It
was, in fact, most incessant daring tho sessions
of Congress and in the winter when the party
accumulated its magazine of destrnefive mis
siles, and inflamed the whole mass of sectional
animosities and hatreds to tell on the popular
ballot whenever voting day rolled round.
We think the South, just now, owes her bliss
ful exemption from systematic and persistent
slander merely to the common opinion that she
is getting rich again. The Northern papers are
contributing to create this impression with sin
gular industry. They tell ns onr trade is far
more valuable than that of the "West—that it la
represented in their marts by men with ready
money—that our crops all told this year will be
worth six hundred and fifty million dollars to the
country—and, in short, from being as we were
abont four years ago, out at the elbows, empty-
pocketed, the rueful representatives of long un
settled accounts and notes of hand past due
which it was highly desirable to compound with
new paper at ten cents on the dollar, we are get
ting to be fat, sleek, and “ responsible."
It is not easy to believe stories to the discredit
of “good customers,” and the office of tale
bearer has become unwelcome, and unpopular.
That’s it The poor man had no friends in
conrt or at market. Bnt when he comes in all
the importance of ready cash and undoubted
“ responsibility,” he is a welcome guest, and no
man helps himself by speaking evil of him.
Consequently, the practice is discontinued.
The tales of frightful outrages upon tho freed
men are received as coldly and incredulously as
was old Titus Oates’ testimony when the “plaat”
had played out The outrage plot has been
smothered and stifled with cotton and tobacco,
and our Northern friends begin to see that
“there mnst bo some mistake about tbese
things.” They will swear it when a Southern
man squares his accounts, sends in now orders,
and assures his respected correspondents that
“these stories are all mere stuff—got np for po
litical purposes.”
At all events, the outrage mill has stopped.
Now and then, may be, the crazy concern at
tempts a feeble and hesitating revolution; but
it is rusty and out of gear—it shrieks and groans
in the last stages of debility. Its work is done—
it is henceforth good for nothing but to be cast
out and trodden under the foot of men.
A Third Party in Massachusetts.—A call is
issued for the Massachusetts Labor Reform
State Convention in Boston on the 28th inst., to
nominate a State ticket. All legal voters with
out regard to past party affiliations, who are in
favor of forming an independent political party,
to be known as the Labor Reform Party, are
invited to send delegates.
OnEat A Time.—Forney’s Philadelphia Press,
of the 20th, launches five columns of thunder
bolts at the head of Great Britain. Suppose
Forney waits till Spain gets cool. One at a
time.
Forney gays the Hon. Columbus Delano, “a
most efficient revenue officer,” will take part in
the Pennsylvania campaign. Is he going to col
lect reVenne in his travels ? ' ‘ ‘ i - '•

gusto. Tuesday afternoon, with seventy-six able-
bodied hands, secured around Wilmington,
North Carolina, for the planters of Louisiana.
The Manchester (N.H.) Union says: “Mas

courteously invited .to attend the 234th annual
gathering at 8t lisbury Beach, which invitation
he as’conrteonsly decline A”
The Cartersville Express says an interesting
revival is going on in that city, resulting in
some thirty conversions and additions to the
Methodist and Baptist Churches.

Mas. Bailey's popular school in Maeonj :
opens on Monday, the 4th proximo. She has a
rare repntation as a teacher and deserves it.
Work on the New York post-office foundations
is going on rapidly. In the day time three' hun
dred and fifty men and one hnndred and seventy
carts are employed. At night the place is illu
minated by three calcium lights, and abont one-
hair us targe a force of men and carts are em
ployed as during the day. Advertisements are
out for a large increase of the force. Hoisting
engines Are now in use, and will greatly facili
tate operations. A considerable part of one side
of the foundation has already beep laid.
Uotae Rain.—Another fine shower fell yesterday
afternoon about 8 v. M. From the appearance of
the clouds and tone of the atmosphere, we incline
to the opinion that we shall have an abundance of
rate before the weather changes.
The Money Panic.
At least every six months since the war, a ru
inous financial revulsion has been promised
or predicted for the benefitof the “nation,” and
abont as often, we have taken occasion to say
that we cannot comprehend how, under present
circumstances, doing business as we are npon
a confessedly irredeemable paper currency, it
is possible that one of those old-fashioned finan
cial hurricanes can occur, which used to sweep
over the country and involve everything in a
general collapse and insolvency.
Last summer a collapse was confidently pre
dicted this fall; bnt we don’t see it, although
some of the New York papers charge that delib
erate efforts are being made to create a panic.
It is possible, that, under the manipulations of
the Wall street financiers, who combine in ef
forts to produce alternate glnts and famines of
the money market, in ordertobattenonthe car
casses of the poor little fish who are left high
and dry by the sudden flux and still more rapid
subsidence—we say it is possible that serious
disorders in the course of trade may be pro
duced; but they cannot reproduce tho almost
universal insolvency of 1837 and 1857.
And why? Simply because there is no pay
day. When banks were liable to meet their
notes in specie on demand, a panic produced
universal demand and the demand resulted in
suspension and the sadden retirement of every
dollar of specie and paper which the moneyed
power of the country could clutch. Then uni
versal stagnation, non-payment and rnin became
inevitable. Bnt it is perhaps the solitary merit
of onr currency, in respect to snch a disaster,
that it is already insolvent. We are, in regard
to that, just where we would be after a univer
sal collapse had produced universal suspension
of specie payments. We are running perma
nently on a post-collapse schedule’, and it is as
useless to predict a collapse os it is to tell a man
pverbpard that he is going to be wet.
We are liable to fluctuations in trade proceed
ing from many natural as well as artificial
causes. Our markets both of money and pro
duce are becoming more and more tho sport cf
great scoundrelly financiers, who operate on the
principle of the Bamegat wreckers. - Individual
and local and general embarrassments will,from
time to time, occur, but until pay day comes—
until we trade upon a specie basis, we need look
for no such convulsions as this country has
passed through in former years, simply because
they are impossible in the nature of the situa
tion.
Tho Fifteenth Amendment.
A Washington letter to the Baltimore Gazette
says: “The Radicals are despairing of the Fif
teenth Amendment. Govenor Senter’s organ,
the Nashville Press and Times, is out in a
double leaded leader predicting that the sew
Legislature will repeal Tennessee’^ ratification
of the Fifteenth Amendment. Before the final
ratification of an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States by the required three-
fourths, any State, which has passed a ratifica
tion ordinance, may rightfully repeal it. This
doctrine was broadly stated in the Senate in
18G7, by Hon.. Reverdy Johnson, and its correct
ness not denied by a single Radical Senator.—
The only point made was, that after an amend
ment had been legally declared adopted, a State
could not reverse its action. Doubtless, when
ever the country shall be restored to the sway
of the Constitution, the Fourteenth Amend
ment (so-called) will be ignored together with
all the reconstruction laws of Congress. This
certain result is the only guarantee of the politi
cal liberties of the South—and, indeed, of the
country at large.
St. Louis Fair.—Upon the application of the
officers of the St Louis Agricultural and Me
chanical Association, Mr. E. B. Walker, Master
of Transportation on the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, publishes the following proposition :
Return Tickets over this road, will be sold for
one fare to persons wishing to attend the St.
Louis Fair.
Cotton accompanied by a sworn affidavit that
it will be exhibited at the St. Louis Fair of 4th
proximo, will be transported free over this road
—one bale to each different shipper.

■ • Breeching Broke.
Oar yesterday’s dispatches noted a heavy flur
ry in the New‘York gold market,'said to be
growing out of warlike rumors and tbe efforts
of clique operations. Gold rose during the 22d
from 1374 to!4l J-,and closed active and strong,
an immense business having been done. Yes
terday, at the morning board, it closed at 143J,
and there we leave it editorially. The rise
since the 13th has boen a little short of eight
cents, and we'doubt whether there hasbeenany
better cause for it than the stupid diplomacy of
Gen. Sickles, the American Minister of Madrid.
The official organs tell ns that Gen. Siokles is
unaccustomed to weigh words with diplomatic
nicety, and he has written something, we know
not what, which has so stirred the choler of the
invincible Spanish nation, that all the Dons are
clamoring for war.
Well, we trust the American Government will
not needlessly go to war with so weak a foeman
as Spain, and we see that Sumner, who carries
the thunderbolts in his snuff-box, delivered a
very forbearing and pacifio speech yesterday at
Worcester on the occasion of the meeting of the
Massachusetts Radical Convention. He is not
at all belligerent with Spain, and for once ho is
right It would be no credit for this Govern
ment to get into a war with Spain. Meanwhile,
let the Dons rip and the New York Gold market
recover its equanimity.

The New York Times on Brunswick.
From the Timer of the 18?A.]
Attention has recently been directed, and not
for the first time, to the city and harbor of
Brunswick, Ga., as a point of first importance
on the Atlantic coast, in view of its new railway
connections, since the war, with the interior of
Georgia and Alabama. As long ago as 1836
the United States Government surveys’ along
the Atlantic coast of the Carolines, Georgia and
Florida established the fact that po snch harbor
as Brunswick, for depth of water, safety of an
chorage, and salubrity of climate, conld be found
from Cape Hatteras to the uttermost coast of
Florida. Looking back to the first settlement
of Georgia under General Oglethorpe, almost
contemporaneous with the colonial grants of the
two Carolinas, the surprise is that Wilmington
and Charleston and Savannah should have then
attracted the attention of commerce along the
Atlantic coast to the neglect of a harbor superi
or in its essentials for shipping and more di
rectly on the sea than either or all of them. It
may be said in explanation that these locations
were selected because they were either upon or
at the mouth of considerable rivers, running
from the interior of the colonies to the sea, the
consideration of the depth and safety of harbor
to foreign shipping being overlooked or deemed
of secondary importance, when the depth of
water was ample for the class of vessels then
trading between the mother country and her
colonies. Nor is it surprising that, for 50 or CO
years after the independence of these colonies of
Great Britain was declared and established, the
Cape Fear to Wilmington,and Cooperand Ashley
to Charleston, and the SavannahRiver to Savan
nah, should have been deemed important to
these locations. Railways were either wholly
unknown or in their earliest infancy, after
steam or other navigation was established. The
very idea that depth of water should suggest it
self, or that the bars and the inlets at the month
of the Cape Fear, or the bar and shoal water of
Charleston, or the natural obstructions to naviga
tion below Savannah, never occnred to the pub
lic of the Carolinas and Georgia in connection
with the importance of deeper harbors, until the
General Government ordered the survey refer
red to in 1836, when onr great railway system
and its connection with the seaboard were at
tracting especial interest in the Southern States.
This movement had been anticipated by Geor
gia and South Carolina. They had made liberal
appropriations and pat in active force their
railway project for the benefit of’ Charleston
and Augusta on the one hand, and Savannah on
the other. And although the result'of the sur
vey was, as we have stated, in.favor of Bruns
wick as by all odds the very best harbor on the
coast, the Savannah and Angusta influence was
too powerful in Georgia to suffer either aid or
attonton to .be directed to-it.
Of late years, the. Georgia State policy has
undergone a sensible change. Before the war,
certain New York capitalists took hold of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, in connection
with their interest in-Brunswick city property.
They expended several millions npon it, and
were in a fair way to make the work complete to
the intersection of the projected Florida Road,
when the rebellion broke out Everything they
had done, including the road, its equipment,
etc., were swept away by the war; The rails
were taken up; the rails arriving at Brunswick
in 18G1 were seized; the equipment run off, and
a general sequestration consummated by the so-
called Confederate authorities, the State of
Georgia being a party to the spoliation and con
version of this property. Since the war, the
wrong has been aoknowledgedby the Legislature
of Georgia. Abont three and a half millions are
acknowledged to be due to the Savannah and
Albany Road; the importance of the repair and
revived of the road recognized, and its extension
to the State line of Alabama, or the means of
snch extension, guaranteed. The line is direct
to Eufaula, on the border of Alabama, and
thence to Montgomery and Vicksburg. Fifteen
thousand. dollars per mile, State indorsement,
on six per cent, bonds, principal and interest
payable .in gold, on 237 miles, is secured, the
State acting as trustee to the general mortgage,
and pledging the punctual payment of interest
as well as the reimbursement of the prinoipal at
the end of forty years. .
Nor is this all that Georgia has done, or pro
poses to have done, for Brunswick. State aid
has also been granted to the Macon and Brnns-
wick Road—a line by all odds the shorter and
more direct communication as between Macon,
Atlanta and Chattanooga, and the entire centre
of the State and the sea-coast than the Macon
and Savannah Road. A reference to any rail
way map will confirm this fact. This road has
also been taken in hand by New York capital
ists, and will soon be completed. It will har
monize with the Brunswick and Albany, and
will assuredly be completed in all the present
year. Both lines pierce the very.richeat cotton
regions of Georgia; both will contribute to the
prosperity of the city of Brunswick, and will to
gether tend to establish at no distant'day the
Bnpremaey of that point as - the most eligible
exporting mart for the Southern and South
western States Bonth of Norfolk, Ya.
We little understand the changes that the in
troduction of woman’s rights will be sure to
bring abont in.every sphere of social life. For
instance, at a wedding in Iowa last week, the
clergyman who performed the ceremony and at
tested the aanotionof the church npon the nup
tials was a lady. After the happy'pair were duly,
made one, the minister kissed the bridegroom!
He blushed and meekly snmmitted.
Northern Intolerance vs. Northern
j Professions.
Rev. Db. Burrows Abroad—Religious In
tolerance in New York.—It is known to many
of our readers that the esteemed Pastor of the
First Baptist Church of this oily is visiting some
friends at the North. The following extract
from the Albany Argus will giro his friends here
an idea of how he is received by persons whose
religion will not stand before political prejudice,
while' it also" affords pleasing evidence that all
in that section are not such bigoted fools. The
Argus says: 3^/:"
“Rev. J. Lansing Barrows, D. D., a native of
this city, and a gentleman who was introduced
into the ministry in connection with the Pearl
street Baptist Church in Richmond, has been on
a visit to this city. He is pastor of the First
Baptist Chnrch in Richmond, Va., where he has
been settled for fifteen years, and, of course,
daring the war sympathized with his. people;
and for anght we know, may have taken an ac
tive part in behalf of the South, as other Bap
tist ministers in the North may have taken in
favor of the'Union. On Saturday morning two
of the Baptist pastors of Albany called upon and
cordially invited Dr. Barrows to preach in their
pulpits. As he had been'accustomed to do on
visits here previous to the war, he consented,
and of course expected to preach.
“When it became known to some of the con
gregations that this invitation had been given
and accepted, so much excitement and opposi
tion was manifested—some of the trustees
threatening to have the churches closed—that
the pastors f jit compelled to inform Dr. Bur
rows, who, of course, promptly declined to offi
ciate. An invitation was tendered him to preach
in one of the Presbyterian churches, but under
the circumstances he thought it proper to de
cline. Unless there are' circumstances attend
ing this case beyond owyknowledge, all fair-
minded people will regard this exhibition of in
tolerance as a disgrace to onr city. Wo had
hoped that the time had passed away when men
were to be excluded from society, or from reli
gious intercourse especially, because they hap
pened to hail from those States which joined in
the rebellion. ‘Peace’ has been the magnetic
word with politicians; it is strange that it
should not be equally potent with religious or
ganizations."
Recently, while a reverend gentleman, for
merly pastor of a church in Philadelphia, who
belongs to a missionary organization known to
be avowedly hostile to all Southern institutions,
was attending a meeting in Richmond, he was
invited by Dr. B. to preach in his church on
Snnday morning. So much for sectional preju
dice—North and South.—Richmond.Dispaclu
The Western Union Telegraph Com*
pnny.
We clip the following from an article in the
New York Times of the 20th, npon Telegraph-
ingin the United States:
The capital of this Company at its organiza
tion in 1851 was $3G0,000. Last July it paid a
dividend on stock representing $40,568,300. Its
gross receipts sinco the 1st of January have
averaged six hnndred thousand dollars a month;
its expenses abont three hundred and seventy-
five thousand, and its nets profits a little over
two hnndred and ten thousand.
The net earnings of the Company for the past
three years have been $8,161,645 50, or at the
rate of $2,720,548 50 per annum, which is over
six and a half per cent, npon the capital.
The cost of its lines has varied, according to
the location and circumstances under which
they were bnilt, from $150 to $1,000 per mile—
the lines along all the important routes having
from three to ten wires each. Estimating them
to average $400 per mile of poles and wires, the
value of the property would be as follows:
53.099 miles of line ..$20,839,000
103 miles of submarine cable 618,000
Offico furniture and fixtures 169,600
Machinery, tools and stationery 600,000
Productive stock in other telegraph com
panies . -I 53,261
Real estate 132,758
Total $22,412,619
The total number of messages sent over the
lines of this company during the year ending
June 30, 1867, were 10,067,768, exclusive of rail
way messages, of which there are many millions
annually, and at an average cost of 57 cents.
It is a remarkable fact that the messages of
this company number full two-thirds as many as
the messages sent over all the lines of Europe,
at an average cost of 8I§ cents.
The Press is naturally one of the best cus
tomers of the telegraph. The aggregate amount
of (news delivered to the newspapers of the
United States by the lines of this Company dur
ing the past year was 369,503,630 words, for
which it received $883,509, being at the rate of
two and three-tenths mills per word. This im
mense amount of matter was not transmitted to
each paper separately, bnt, through a combina
tion of wires only possible to a vast system like
this, was sent to a large number of places sim
ultaneously with only one transmission. It is a
fact worthy of remark that the amount of news
which this Company delivered to the Press of
the United States daring the year 1868 for na
aggregate sum of $883,509, in currency, large
ly exceeded the entire telegraphic correspon
dence of continental Europe, for which there
was paid $7,837,238 in gold.
Mr. Orton presents a number of practical
questions connected with the future of the tele,
graphic service in this country, and brings to
their discussion much valuable information-
He is averse to the establishment of rival lines
by the Government, considering that if Govern
ment goes into the business, private lines should
cease. “While I believe," he says, “that the
telegraph can be more satisfactorily and econo
mically conducted under private than pub
lic control, and that its assumption by our
Government would be a mistake, still what I
have so strenuously opposed is not the pur
chase of existing lines, for the- purpose
of establishing a national system, as has
been done by England and other European
countries, bnt the unjnstproposition for the Gov
ernment to build rival lines and engage in the
telegraph business as a competitor. - Upon these
points I coincide with the views expressed by the
Committeo on Post-offices and Post-roads, that
“two systems of telegraphs, one pnblio and one
private, cannot operate side by side with success
to either or with benefit to the. public. The
functions of the Government are neccessarily
exclusive, and whenever it formally undertakes
any service as proper to be exercised by it, pri
vate parties mnst be excluded from the perform
ance of the same service.” <
The Swiss (Colonists in Tennessee.
From the J&aihvillc Press and Times, Sept. 1C.]
Yesterday morning we received a call from
Mr. John Hitz, the Consul-General of Switzer
land, who left Washington some days since to
visit the new Swiss settlement in Grundy ootrn-
ty, which covers a tract of 9,090 acres of land.
The Consul is well pleased with the progress of
the colonists and their general condition. The
land on which they are located is good and well
timbered, producing an abundant growth of
yellow pine, holly, laurel and other wood, which
the Swiss carvers delight to work np into toys
and useful domestio implements. Some of the
colonists are in easy circumstances, and will go
liberally into stock-raising and grape-growing.
They are much pleased with the • climate and
romanlio landscape around them, which is in
many respects a reproduction of the sylvan and
monntain scenery of their native land. Tho land
was bought for fifty cents an acre, and is within
twelve miles of Tracy City. Of coarse they
have access to coal and water enough to turn au
the machinery that will be wanted in this State
for fifty years to come. The Consul does not
think it advisable to r 'le the colonists in large
bodies, as that wonlu _,nd to cultivate a spirit
of clannishness among them, and prevent them
from becoming assimuated to the people of 1 the
States, whi6h he' regards as essential to their
welfare. One fact we regard as deserving spe
cial consideration; the colonists set apart two
days in each week to working on the main road
through their settlement. The road is in charge
of a regular engineer. If proper means were
used ten thousand of these thrifty, ingenious,
peaceable people conld be settled on the cheap
lands oh the Nashville and Northwestern Rail
road in the next twelve months. Bat the land
will probably lie idle, wild and unproductive,
for want of tact rind enterprise in bringing it
into market. . ‘

Important Evidence In the Byron
Case.
From the N. Y. Tribune of the 2Qthi}
Lady Anne Barnard, whose contribution to
the history of Lord Byron’s life we publish this
morning, will be remembered in literary history
as the author of the beautiful song of “Auld
Robin Gray," and the friend of Scott, Burke,
Dundas, and many others of the famous people
of the close of the last and the beginning of the
present oentury. She was a daughter of James
Lindsay, fifth Earl of Bolcarres. The Lord
f.indHay xghnm we nra indebted forthe pub
lication of Ber interesting memorandum is the
present heir to the earldom, and is an author of
some repute, having published “Lives of the
Lindsays,” a volume of letters from the East,
and a work on Christian Art._
Lady Anne's narrative, written some time be
fore' 1825, and Lady Byron’s letter, written in
1818, together throw more discredit upon Mrs.
Stowe’s account than anything else that has
been provokedby this interminable controversy.
In the confidential intercourse of intimate
friendship Lady Byron told Lady Anne Barnard
the miserable story of her short married life.
There was no bint of the crime whioh was re
vealed to Mrs. Stowe, bnt there.was a narrative
of heartless abuse and hypocrisy hardly less
horrible, in so far as cold and calculating wick
edness is more repulsive than the sins of un
governed passion. ‘.'It is not necessary,” wrote
Lady Byron, “to speak ill of his heart in' gen
eral; it is sufficient to me that it was hard and
impenetrable. * * ' * It is n °t my duty to
give way to hopeless and wholly unrequited af
fection ; but so long as I live, my chief straggle
will probably be not to remember him too kind
ly.” It is difficult to reconcile such language
with a belief that the cause of the separation was
what Mrs. Stowe asserts. Itis still more difficult
to understand how Lady Byron, if she believed
her husband guilty of the offence with which he
stands' charged, conld write as she did to Lady
Anne, “I had heard he was the best of brothers,
the most generous of friends, and I thought such
feelings only required to be warmed and cher
ished into more diffusive benevolence.” Still
more important, however, are two other state
ments made by Lady Anne Barnard on Lady
Byron’s authority. The first is that when Byron
tried to corrupt his wife’s principles, both with
respect to her own conduct and her latitude for
his, “she saw the precipice on which she stood,
and kept his sister with her as much as possi
ble." The other is an aocount of Byron’s re-
turn one night from a haunt of license, when,
overcome by his wife's indicant manner, “he
called himself a monster, though his sister was
present,” threw himself at Lady Byron’s feet,
and after obtaining her forgiveness laughed in
her face, and told her he only wished to try the
.value of her resolutions. Snch a scene as this
could hardlyhave occurred in Mrs. Leigh’s
presence if the incestuous connection actually
existed, nor is it easily conceivable how Lady
Byron conld have spoken as she does here of a
woman from whom she had suffered such enor
mous wrongs.
It will hardly be safe to pronounce this a
complete refutation of Mrs; Stowe, because it
is possible to explain all the circumstances
brought forward in Lord Lindsay’s communica
tion by Lady Byron’s anxiety to keep the dread
ful secret and tell no more of the reasons for
the separation than were necessary to justify
herself in the opinions of her friends. “I trust
you understand my wishes,” she writes, “which
were never to injnre Lord Byron in any way, for
though he would not suffer me to remain his
wife, he cannot prevent me from continuing his
friend. I do not seek the sympathy of the
world, bnt I wish to be known by those whose
opinion is valuable and whose kindness is dear
tome. We must remember, also, that Mrs.
Stowe has not yet pnt in her evidence, but only
filed the indictment, and rebuttal at present is
not in order. If she had presented her extraor
dinary charges with a decent regard for literary
and personal proprieties, she might have saved
herself from a great deal of reproach, and spared
ns much unnecessary controversy. We can only
hope that she will repair her mistake without
any further delay. Lord Lindsay has placed
her in a position where sbe.can no longer keep
silence without grave injury to her repntation.

Weather—Still dry and very warm. Just
suited to the planter that has cotton in.the field
ready for picking, bnt death on sugar cane, po
tatoes, peas, turnips and gardens. The prospect
for greens, of any kind, is slim indeed. Im
possible to get tnrnip seed to come np, and the
collard leaves have the appearance of having
been prepared by the doctors for the purpose of
dressing blisters.,
Cotton Picking.—One month, more of favor
able weather and tho cotton crop will be gather
ed, excepting an occasional field that is making
a top crop. We notice in our travels over this
and Calhoun county, that fully two-thirds of the
cotton is now open, and if we escape the Sep
tember storm the crop will be gathered in good
order.;—Dawson Journal, 23d.
The Shurman Trial.—A Washington dispatch
to the Philadelphia Press of the 20th says: .
In the Criminal Conrt, to-day, the trial of
Shuman (colored), on the charge of abstracting
unsigned notes from the Treasury, was contin
ued. Experts testified to the similarity between
the writing of the signatures and the handwrit
ing of the accused. At this point the defence
moved a discharge, on. the ground thnfc the in
dictment was defective, and after argument, the
Judge announced that he would render his deci
sion on Monday. _
The Charleston and Savannah Road.—The
Charleston News says the contractors npon this
Railroad have undertaken to complete it by the
first of December next. The News says:
The brig’ Bradshaw, which arrived here on
Monday, brought a large consignment of rail-
road iron for the traok, and. we learn that a sup
ply-amply sufficient to complete the road has
been ordered to be shipped to Charleston and
Savannah. . A locomotive and construction train
has been dispatched to the Savannah end of the
line via Augusts, and the work of reconstruc
tion will now bo energetically pressed forward
at both ends of the gap.
Good:—At the dinner table at Patona, Ala., a
gentleman of the press, distinguished for his ur
banity and amiability, having sampled a bottle
of Scotch ale, recommended it very highly to
the learned and pious Doctor Blank, who is also
distinguished for politeness. t‘,This,” said the
learned Doctor, (holding up a tumbler of bright,
clear water,) “is the best ale in the world.!’
“Very good,” responded Col. O., “ iar the pur
poses of navigation, but, as a beverage, I never
hanker after it.” Of course this brought down
the house.—Athens Southern Watchman.
A richly dressed xouNO lady, evidently of
Spanish extraction, entered a dentist’s office in
Virginia City, Nevada, a few days ago, and
wished the doctor good morning in very broken
English. It was with difficulty that Dr. 0.
found what she wanted, bnt at last be learned
that she desired her teeth filled. She was seated
in the operating chair, and parting a pair of
rich and tempting lips, disclosed two rows of
ivory-white and glistening teeth. Probes,
punches, hooks and files oame into play, bnt
a minute search failed to disclose.even a speck
of decay. The doctor couldn’t understand it,
and told her that she had no tooth which re
quired filling,, and none to be extracted. She
couldn't understand mnch English, and the doc
tor don’t speak Spanish, and so the conversa
tion grew lively by signs alone. Again did he
search, but with no better success; At last she
rushed from the office.. In a few moments she
returned, bringing a lady whose teeth glistened
with gold which, the .doctor had inserted, and
then toe doctor Understood that she wished him
to bore holes in her teeth and fill them with
gold, so she, too, could be in fashion. Of
course the doctor declined the job, and she left
very indignant at his obstinacy.
M. Lieu retch has written to the French Acad
emy about a new anesthetic discovered by him
self. He calls it chloral. It is to be adminis-
istered by absorption rather than inhalation,
which enables the doses to be measured with
greater accuracy. The insensibility produced
is said to be more oomplate than that caused by
any other snhstanco, toe use of it is unattended
by any danger, and a woman was lately kept
under its influence during a protracted surgical
operation. : * ■ 1 l ,, iv : ■}-•
Some Irish statistics are interesting. The
acres under cultivation have increased by 27,000
during the past year, and the amount of live
stock, which has been steadily diminishing of
late years, now shows a reaction. Emigration
shows an increase of only 2639 persons, the total
number for toe past year being 45,846. There
are 80,000 inhabited houses in Ireland with only
one room, and in these live more than half a
million persons.

Washington, September 23.—Under the caption
of “Minister Sickles Sustained by the Administra
tion” the Chronicle says with double leads:
“Those officers of the Cabinet who have uttered
an opinion on tho question, say that there is noth
ing in the communication from Minister Sickles to
the Spanish Government to justify the alarm that
the imperfect disclosures of its content? hare
created.” 'And concludes, “Secretary Fisn declines
to make the note of Minister Sickles public for pru
dential reasons ; but it is regarded as safe to say
that there will be no such thing done as hacking
down. It is safe to reiterate that the State Depart
ment apprehends no warlike results, and will favor
the tender. Onr good offices having been thankful
ly declined by Spain, masterly inactivity will follow.
Sickles’ injudicious use of words alone is supposed
to have caused too hubbnb. The text of Sickles’
note is not yet received.

The Bamesville Gazette, of toe 23d, says,that
city is improving. There is considerable! build
ing and a praiseworthy activity among the , mer
chants. We clip the following paragraphs from
the Gazette :
Weather, Crops, Etc.—Notwithstanding the
prospects for rain, spoken of in our last issue,
we are still having unprecedentedly dry wea
ther, and we have come to the same conclusion
with too man who signed the pledge—that “all
signs fail in dry weather.” We are having toe
best kind of weather for gathering crops, and
our farmers .aro making use of toe opportunity.
We have heard of several who have gathered a
portion of their com crop. They report it, very
good, but regret that toe area planted was so
small. Cotton is coming into market qnite
rapidly, and prices, as a natural consequence,
are declining. When will we learn our interest?
Nearly all the mills in tho country have sus
pended operations until it rains. Tho “oldest
citizen”, says that there has not been such a. dry
spell at this time of toe year since the fall pf
1889, when it did not rain from the first of Au
gust until the middle of November.
With much regret we announce the death of
F. M. Grove, of Monroe county, who .died on
Tuesday morning, 20th instant, at his residence.
He was found near the road on Sunday evening
last, some four miles above Strouds Cross-Roads,
his head badly bruised, and his buggy not far
from the same spot. Itis supposed his, horse
ran away with him, threw him from the buggy,
and the fall was such as rendered him speech
less ever afterward. ’■
Mr. N. Owen’s residence, about three milqs
from town, on toe road to Forsyth, was burned
last week and everything in it destroyed. A
subscription is being raised to assist Mr. Owen.
We hope our citizens will respond liberally to
this call.
A Search fbr Mineral Beposlts.
The Rome Courier of the 23d inst, says:
Colonel Hnlbert, as Superintendent of the
State Road, has employed Rev. Charles Wallace
Howard to make a thorough survey of the south
ern slope of Lookout Mountain in search of iron,
coal and petroleum oil. Mr." -Howard left this
city yesterday with two servants, a wagon and
camp equippage, and will commence, the survey
in the neighborhood of Alpine, near the line of
Chattooga county, Ga., and Cherokee, Alabama.
Judging from his thorough scientific attain
ments, and his great love for and devotion to
geologyand mineralogy, we confidently hope
for important results from this survey. .
It is generally known that iron, exists in the
greatest abundance all through this section, and
that bituminous coal crops out la many places,
but it is not known that the latter is in veins
sufficiently thick and near cheap transportation
to pay for the mining. Between the month of
John’s oreek and Coosaville, in this county. Mr.
Howard thinks the indications of petroleum are
quite as good as anywhere in the oil regions of
Pennsylvania. _
No Discrimination.—Tho impression is quite
strong in some portions of Southwestern Georgia,
that the Central and Southwestern Railroads are
disposed to discriminate against the Macon market
to the advantage of the Savannah market. We
have no evidence whatever that snch is the fact,
and consequently wo don’t believe a word of it.
Thus far this season wa know that the Southwestern
Road has been conducting'its business in a perfect
ly fair and disinterested manner to both markets,
and we do not believe it could or would injure the
Macon trade one farthing if in its power to do so.
The impression alluded to is, therefore, in onr judg
ment wholly unfounded and unreasonable.
A Postal Freak.—The Atlanta New Era of yes-
tci day has the following:
On the 28th day of July, a valuable letter was
mailed from the Treasury Department at Washing
ton to a gentleman in this city.-' The letter con
tained a check for a large amount of money. The
letter was never received here, but ths cheek was
picked up in the streets of Maoon and sent to the
gentleman for whom it was first intended, with his
name forged on the back of it. The money inclosed
in the same letter has not been heard from. There
is a pouch sent direct from Washington to this
post-office. Such being the case, can any one an
swer to tbe satisfaction of the gentleman how-this
oheck got to Maoon ? There is a mystery about it
which puzzles all the detective skill at our com
mand, and we confess that we are lost in a maze of
wonderment in endeavoring to fathom such a postal
irregularity. We hope yet to have Borne light upon
the subject. ^
Horse Race.—There will be a half mile dash for
$100 at the race track to-morrow afternoon, at 9
o’clock, between “Kate Spears" and a faat little
shrrel mare, which her owner thinks is a jewel when
discussing horseflesh. We shall see to-morrow
whether she can shine on our turf or not.
Old Boreas had it all Wa own w ay in these parts ’

Too Bad—We merely announced in Ust SumW
Teleorath the fact which we knew its tfaciu»nd**n#
readers would hail with Joy, that from and aft* &
18th instant, Sunday mail service would be re
formed on the Southwestern Railroad, For
this simple announcement, some wretch in Enfant
in utter disregard of tbe wishes of the neoDle •'
Southwestern Georgia and in his own SUtTTd ?
supreme contempt, both of our dignity and laZ* 0
tion, sneaked into the office of tbe Enfant w"
while the editor was out trying to find somethin??’

Stand eboh Under !—The other day an old negro
called upon the Ordinary of Bibb County to make a
statement under oath, saying that he had walked
fifteen miles for the purpose of doing so, and he
wanted toe Ordinary, or his clerk, to. be very parti-
cular in taking down what he said, as the Angel of
the Lord had appeared to him, and instructed him
to come to Macon, and before au offieer of the law,
swear to what the Angel said. The Ordinary told
him (to get shut of him) that he was not the officer
to attend to matters of Buch grave import, and re
ferred him to the Supervisor of Revenue, and the
colored prophet called -at that gentleman's office.
He fell into the hands of two dorks, who slowly
took down his statements, and among others of a
strange and startling nature, one that the end of
all things was at hand, and the wrath of the Lord
in the shape of a “korrnit," as he called it, with a
mighty tail of fire and brimstone, was a coming,
and to get a commission from the right man to go
into all toe world and preach the end of time.
The clerks wrote down his statemonts and pet
upon the document about seventeen seals, and de
livered it. They further duly commissioned him to
preach what he had hoard from the Angel; but hewu
advised to keep quiet and say nothing of his grsad
mission until he should get to Alaska, and then,
for the first time, thunder forth his startling revela
tions, and after doing ' bo, then pass diagonally
across tho American continent, like the shadow of a
total eclipse, and enter Cuba and tell the belliger
ents over there they had both just as well ground
their arms, as they would all be hurt enough in a
few days. "With these instructions and his many
sealed document the negro departed.
We rely npon our special artists and correspond
