More “Georgia Outrages.”

(itdality of the Radicals, by publishing as a

Catoosa county, an “ illicit distiller,” by U.

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.”

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.
