More “Georgia Outrages.” Ite Tribune of the 29th illustrates the swift (itdality of the Radicals, by publishing as a tftorgia outrage” the killing of Mark Dedman, Catoosa county, an “ illicit distiller,” by U. I Deputy Collector Whitmore. True, it was a Imbarons outrage, as detailed by the dispatch, (-t nothing that the Tribune would have called £ An inoffensive man was shot down flying Irt U. S. Tax Collector. As soon, however, as | Tribune saw that somebody had been killed B Georgia, he assumed that it was a “rebel jstrag*," and piled on a caption accordingly. Virginia White Sulphur Springs. A friend who has spent a. few weeks at the Virginia White Sulphur Bays that all the visitors were enchanted with the simple elegance and cordiality which characterised the social tone of that place. Among the large numbers gathered there from all sections of the Union, but chiefly from the South, there was no dissipation of any sort—no drinkingf-no gambling—no vulgar dis play of horse-jockeyism—no fast women and no fast men. Instead of making themselves the slaves of dress and walking dummies for fash* ionable milliners and modistes, the ladies main* tained generally, an elegant and comfortable simplicity of attire and an easy, affable de meanor. At first, Northern visitors were consigned to isolation, but the intervention of that august and grand man of the age, Gen. Lee, soon put everything on a footing of friendliness and cor diality. Our informant saya it was worth a pretty to see with what ease and dignity Gen. Lee collared and whipped sectional proscription. Entering the drawing room, one morning,'he was immediately, as ever, the centre of an animated throng of Southern ladies, to whom he pointed out a little group in one comer sit ting in awkward and nnwelcome abstraction. He inquired who they were, and was told with a shrug, that they were Northern people—yan- hees. If that bo true, said he, they are strang ers, and we must show them some attention. Then, with a graceful apology, he left the fair Virginia throng and approaching the strangers, introduced himself os “Mr. Robert E. Lee,” and begged the pleasure of their acquaintance. In a few moments his gonial example was fol. lowed by everybody in the room, and sectional proscription was voted down unanimously ever after. A liberal, cosmopolitan spirit was in augurated, and the "White Sulphur became de lightful to guests from eveTy part of the coun try. Hereafter, it will undoubtedly take the first rank among American summer resorts. 1st From Americas. We clip the following from the Courier of the t instant: Almost a Wedding.—During Thursday after noon it became known that a citizen of Sumter wiw going to wed a oertain charming widow of this city, and the boys were most of the after noon making preparations for the festive occa sion.^ Finally, night “drew her sable curtain o’er,”- and the many invited guests gathered to witness the happy consummation. Tho hour for ceremony arrived. Attending friends shook hands with the to-be bridegroom, with mingled emotions of gratification and regret at his de parture from the state of single-blessedness. Suddenly the cup of bliss is broken. Disappoint ment takes the place of joy, as sorrowful friends announce that tho coveted bird has flown. The expected bride had vamoosed! She had changed her mind suddenly, and left the disconsolate man to “ sigh it out alone.” Sic transit gloria. Retubned fbom Brazil.—CoL Anthony, of Fort Gaines, son of Rev. Samuel Anthony of this city, together with most of the party who emigrated to Brazil some two years ago, passed through here the first of the week, returning to their home. We understand they have had enough of Brazil. Our old friend, Judge J. J. Scarborough, ar rived a few days ago. The Judge has been spending the summer at St. Paul, Minn. His health is considerably improved, and he has “big things” to say about that country—for in stance, a cabbage weighing fifty pounds wasn’t anything extra. A workshop belonging to Mr. C. W. Wheatley was burned in Americus on Thursday. • JmlgeX/ippift. The Intelligencer reports in full the speech of lodge Lippitt, of Connecticut, at Wills Valley &e 2:«th nib The Judge talks well and pays us budsome compliments. He is also very friendly. Sip he: My friends, I beg you think of us—your coun t-pen and brothers—of the North, no more ns toemies. We are nob Wo are your friends, ud we desire your greatest prosperity and good. We ere seeking opportunities to promote both. That is right, Judge, and now when yon get hone cell off tho dogs. Respect our motives— Rspectour feelings. Don’t needlessly wound «ren what yon think to be our prejudices. Leave theSonth to work out her own destiny and iltndon the ridiculous idea of controlling her ly negro politicians. Don Plait’s Horticultural Address. Don Piatt, formerly of the Cincinnati Com mercial, has been making a horticultural speech, end prefaced his discourse with the declaration that be knew as little about “horticulture as film Carey does of Democracy, or Parson Brownlowof Heaven.” The Don's deliverance was somewhat ramb ling. and may bo described as a series of hits upon matters and things in general. He ridi culed landscape gardening and modem villas ud fashions. He poured hot shot into Gree- ky’s protective tariff—upon American manners ud domestic habits and homes. He said the Americans have no homes, because they have so servants, and can find nobody who is not •shamed of that or any other laboring posi tion: “Under a Government based on the high- lotmdiug generality that all honest labor is honorable, we are all ashamed of labor. We Kek to hide it beneath handsome names. The man who extracts decayed grinders, and the other man who purges and bleeds, with that other gentleman who defends rogues, are pro fessional people. [Laughter.] The dealer in olicocs and clothes is a merchant. A man is consigned to eternal social infamy if he permits himself to be called a tailor, and to address a free-born American citizen ns “servant’ is to bo assaulted then and there. [Laughter.”] [Alljbese desirable things—homes, servants, contentment, peace—we once had in the South.] Earthquakes and Storms. Scarcely bad we called attention to Captain S«by'» prognostications of storms, high tides and great natural convulsions “about these times," when here comes a dispatch announc ing a heavy earthquake in California, and the imminent approach of a hurricane in Cuba. This certainly looks ominous. Pourrcs in the Keystone State:—For two successive days we have had two grand political rows in the Keystone State—the last a heavy °ne, ss eleven persons were known to be seri ously wounded. Since they would fight, we are gi*d to nee that the Democrats whipped them out; but we have abont come to the conclusion that fighting and quarrelling are no remedy for snything. Let us trust in Providence and keep our tempers. A Tebbxble Accident, it seems, happened at lie Indiana State Fair yesterday, by which nine- hat persons wore killed by the collapse of a te&mboiler, and many were wounded. This is tee of the most droadfnl accidents, from a am- ur cause, on reoord in the whole history of cechanism. It is explicable on the hypothesis that the crowd thronged around the engines at tie time, witnessing the contest of speed and power. Bioiit Side Up.—A New York special to the Mobile Advertiser ^ays: “ The house of Hoyt 4 Gardner, so well known by many Southerners, •tood pluckily all day Friday. They have passed the crisis clear, and stand better than ever.” Sm Roderick Murchison is still sanguine that Dr. Livingstone is alive, and that he will fet “emerge from South Africa on the same vestern shore on which he appeared after his great march across that region, and long after hu life had been despaired of.” Louisa Muhlbach is really coming to this country, and with her Frederica and Theodora, ter daughters. Theodora is an actress; she speaks English, and means to appear on the American stage. •. SavAsMAh Cotton Trade—Savannah had re ceived up to the night of the 30th nit, 162 bales See Island, and 43,513 * bales uplands. Stock 02 hand, 297 Sea Islands and 15,175 uplands. Ox the adjournment of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, at San Francisco, Grand Sire Farnsworth was presented with a'diamond ring *et in gold from the filings of the last spike of tte Pacific Railroad. The Gold Market and a Crash. The New York papers say the early termina tion of the gold flurry shows that no permanent injury is inflicted by tho concerted operations of many great brokers controlling large amounts of specie and foreign exchange. This in itself is calculated to prevent any repetition of the conspiracy for some time. The supply of money for moving the Western crops will be freer, as now unlocked by tho fall of the gold combina tion. An unusually heavy drain to tho South is not anticipated, os the credits already extended thither will meet a portion of the current ship ments. Tho Treasury Department has given notice that it will not hoard currency, and will keep down the currency balance to the lowest point. Foreign exchange invites the importa tion of gold, and two months hence the Treasu ry has to pay the interest upon registered bonds and coupons not paid before maturity. Cotton is coming in rapidly, and breadstuffs shipments promise to be large. Wall street remained in a state of virtual sus pension during most of last week. There was a pretty general deadlock in financial affairs. An extensive wave of bankruptcy among small houses was feared if the nine firms reported as having failed to meet the requirements of the Gold Exchange Bank should finally succumb. Fisk and Jay Gould failed to put in an appear ance as late as Tuesday. Take a Lesson. We see that the Savannah Republican copies and commends Gen. Forrest’s speech at Wills Valley, and directs tho attention of the Northern people to it. Well—but suppose the Republi can also takes the lesson. It is much needed, all around. Gen. Forrest says: The men of tho North and the men of the South. And I am proud of tho opportunity of fered by this occasion of meeting and greeting you and your guests, all friends together on common ground in restored friendship. As you all know, I am no speaker, but I am glad to be able to welcome to our Southern land Northern men and capital to aid us in building up our fallen fortunes. And again: I feel to-day that I, as well ns these Northern friends, am a citizen of the United States; eve rybody here feels so—and I doubt not it is the desire of all to remain so. Let us act as such; that more money and skilled labor may come among us from the abundance of the North. With these aids no bounds can bo set to our prosperity. And again: Hence, to-day, burying and forgetting the past, I gladly meet these Northern gentlemen, your guest-s, laboring for your good, as broth ers ; with yon I accept their efforts to develop our section, and uniting mine with theirs, exhort you to the same course, to be followed and crowned with prosperity, peace and unity. That, says the Republican, i3 all right, and so we think. But it differs vastly from the indis criminate and bitter malediction in which the Repnblican loves to indulge, and which does no good in any event. We can never have a better state of sectional feeling until the press, North and South, stops the practice of treating each other to these balmy toddies of gall, wormwood and sulphuric add; and one side must quit be fore the other will. Editors fancy that they show a wonderful devotion to the South and a noble spirit of independence and dignity in dealing out these bitter doses, but we think they are equally valueless and mischievous. Take a lesson from the temper displayed by such men as Gen. Lee and Gen. Forrest. Stand from Under on Tuesday. The 5th of October, Tuesday, early in the morning, occurs that extraordinary conjunction of the planetary influences which, according to Capt. Saxbyof the Royal Navy, threatens an ex traordinary convulsion of storm and tide. In order that our readers may be forewarned and stand from under or keep dry shod, we reprint the prediction and tho reasoning which supports it, from the Loudon Times: “ Capt Saxby, of the Royal Navy, has called public attention to the following facts, which, if verified by results, will prove a curious instance of a priori reasoning: At 7 a. sc., on the ensuing October 5, the moon will be at the part of her orbit whioh is nearest the earth; her attraction will, therefore, be at its maximum force. At noon the moon will be on the earth's equator, a circumstance which never occurs without mark ed atmospheric disturbance; at 2 p. m. the same day, lines drawn from the earth's centre will out the sun and moon in the same are of right as cension. The moon’s attraction and the sun’s will, therefore, be acting in tho same direction. In other words, the new moon will be on the earth’s equator when in perigee, and nothing more threatening can occur of high tides and destructive storms. Sir John Herschel has said that no man jealous of his reputation will be a weather prophet. The foregoing prediction, which assumes to be grounded on ascertained physical facts, is given with an air of perfect confidence, and may be tested in the ensuing autnmn.” Colambns cotton Trade.

Planters are desponding. Merchants are bolding all the sugar they can carry. Negro Outrage la Jefferson County. Painful rumors reach us of an outrage by a band of lawless negroes, who claim to bo a Ku- klux bond, near Stapleton's store, in Jefferson county. This band, estimated at twenty-five to thirty strong, entered on Saturday night last the house of a peaceable, quiet, unoffending citizen, who is almost helpless, being in the last stages of consumption, and took him from his bed from beside his wife and carried him to a strip of woods a short way distant and there beat him unmercifully, leaving him on the ground as dead. Mr. A. S. Fergnrson, the unfortunate sufferer, has not as yet sufficiently recovered to be able to give an account of this diabolical transaction—indeed, we learn that his physician pronounces his condition very critical, olthongh not without hope. The supposed leader of this band is a lawless negro bearing the name of Tom Little; but this is only a supposition, deduced from the fact that he has suddenly left the neigh borhood. It should be stated, also, that the ne gro Little had been previously in the employ of Mr. Forgurson, and that there had been a sharp dispute abont the amount due upon a balance of accounts. Little, when last heard from, was making his way in the direction of the Central Railroad. ’ - We regret to learn of this disturbance in Jef ferson county, and hope yet that the rumors that reach us are highly colored, as here tofore there has been a good understanding between the whites and the blacks and quiet and good order has almost universally prevailed. Bnt if even only a part of what reaches us is true, tho citizens of Jefferson owe it to them selves that this miscreant shonld be brought to justice and made to feel the penalties of the law. Wo hope that he may be arrested, tried and made to snffer the severest penalties of the law.—Chronicle and Sentind. Stage Grammes.—Away down South during tho war there was a strolling company of actors doing a certain blood and thnnder drama in one of the little dead towns to be found on the line of tho main railroad in Georgia. In one of the scenes of a little comedy which preceded the tragedy tho lover pulled a rose-bud out of the pocket of his trowsers and showed it to his hated rival, saying, “I tuck her out to the ker- ridge, I hoped hor in and sho gin mo this as a memento.” The effect on a party who harrd it was very convulsive. Afterward though, in the tragedy, this gifted Knight of the Buskin had occasion, as the Duke, to be approached by a certain “Lord,” and informed of the death of the father of the heroine of the tragedy. Upon being told his friend's death he gulped down a sob and said, “I knowed it, my Lord, and when sho died I was appointed her gardeen.” The ef fect may be better imagined than described.— An old play-goer who was present swore it was the richest thing he had ever heard in his life. The signature to a valuable document in Alex andria, Va., was written wth purple ink, and, to the dismay of the possessor, it has faded entire ly away. A paper in that city accordingly con demns’tho use of purple ink for legal docu ments, bnt suggests”that it would be highly ap propriate for love-letters. Tho suggestion may be appreciated in Chicago. It is pnblicly charged that hazing has been renewed at Harvard College, and that the prac tice now prevails there to an intolerable and shameful degree. It is declared that the abuses and breaches of the peace are so flagrant that, if subject to the civil law, they would lodge half the sophomores in the House of Correction in one week, and an earnest demand is made upon the Faculty to pnt a sudden stop to them by the energetic exercise of their authority. Those two young Amazons at Dorchester, Mass., have been displaying their agility again, in a jumping match for $150 a side. One at the first jump cleared 10 feet 9 inches, and at the second 11 feet 24 inches; the other, 10 feet 7J inches at the first jump, and at the second 10 feet 8j inches. The Question Settled.—A writer for the New York World, advocating the marriage of consins, quotes Moses: “And Moses brought their cause before the Lord," and the result was that “even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad; for Mahlab, Tirzah, Hogbah, Miicah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehab, were married unto their father's brother s sons.' (Numbers, chapters xxvii. and xxxvi.) The New Testament is silent upon the subject. The biblical record stands as above. The writer adds that “as much congenital scrofula, incipient phthisis, mental incapacity or derangement—as many deaf, dumb, blind, halt and rachitic, people—will be found among children of any other class you may select as among those of consins.” "Who is to be There?—The Editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate puts in print a letter of invitation from the Hon. David W. Lewis, Secretary of the State Agricultural Asso ciation, which says : “The President and Vice- President of the United States, the Ex-Presi dents and Vice-Presidents, Heads of Depart ments, members of both Houses of Congress, tho principal Generals of the two late hostile armies, the Governors of the several States, distinguished editors, successful writers on agri culture and eminent practical agriculturists from all sections of the Union, have been invi ted to attend.” Well! did you ever ?—Chron icle and Sentind. An Eminent English Physician thus speaks op Inhalation.—“I am thoroughly convinced that in proportion ns inhalation in tubercular Consumption and chronic Bronchitis is more used and really understood, and done justice to, so will its high value becomo known, and its good name be established. This practice should be persevered in for a great length of time, beginning with twice a day, soon increas ing to three times, then decreasing to twice, afterward to once, and even occasionally sus pending its employment; by which plan, on ita renewal, its efficacy may be greater.”—Sir Charles Scudamore.

I do hereby certify that after suffering for thirty- i three years, with the most excruciating pain from Chronic Rheumatism, and finding no permanent re- ' lief from any of the many prescriptions given by dif- I ferent physicians. I am now entirely well, not only of Rheumatism itself, but likowise of its effects, this ! cure was effected by a preparation styled "Lin che’s ' Anti-Rheumatic Powders.’’ Of these Powders I took 1 two doien, and have not bad any symptoms ofmy old i pains for three years.
