During the past two mouths nearly $200,000 have been received by ex- press in Athens, and this, in addition t«> what was already here, has been paid out for cotton. A few days ago the banks and buyers bad to get a new supply. One firm, Messrs. Heaves, Nicholson A Co., have recent ly received ->25,000 in specie, $20,000 of which was in gold. This shows the immense cotton trade of Athens, and it also shows that our enterprising little city is going to have money enough to buy all the cotton that comes. Jupiter amt Ills Moons.

Many of our citizens are not aware of the amount ol building that is going on in Athens. The regular annual meeting of the I directors ami stockholders of the Northeastern railroad will he held on the 20th inst. The business men of Athens would find it profitable to invest a small amount in advertising in the Daily Banner. A large number of dwelling homes have been built iu Athens in the past twelve months, but there is a demand for more. J udge Reese spoke ol Chautauqua as “ Cata-kaw, or whatever you call itand this is the nearest approach to wit that he could make. The new engine-house to bo built, will be a regular beauty, if we may judge from tbe design in the posses sion of the company. It would be a great favor if per sons would take pains to inform the Banner reporter of any local items that they may hear of. Whether Athens is going to ho a large city depends on the enterprise of the people of Athens in pushing the extension ol the Northeastern.

A Horrible Crime. A horrible crime was committed yesterday by a negro named Brads ■haw, out in the country between Princeton and Georgia factory. Brad- | shaw entered the house ol a white man named Spence, while the latter and his wife were out at work, aud found three . girls—the eldest being about thirteen years old. V ith a piece of lightwood, he struck the eld est on the head and knocked her down. One of the others started to run out. when he struck her, inflicting an ugly wound under the eye. She escaped however, and with all her speed went A False Report. It has been reported about Athens, that Gov. Colquitt had commuted the sentence of Arthur, the murderer, of Jackson cotmly, to imprisonment for life. This statement, is being urged ou the colored people, together with the idea that the governor would uot commute the sentence of Sheats, a colored man The truth is Gov. Col quitt respited Sheats twenty-one days, in order to give his counsel time to bring forward the new evidence which they said they could get. As they did not bring it, the law had to take its course. The impression sought to he made is that Gov. Colquitt has done for a white man what he would not do for a colored man. A citizen of Athens telegraphed to Col. Avery, tlie gov* eruor’s secretary, to learn the truth of the matter. Ho received the follow ing reply : “ Gov. Colquitt has not commuted Arthur’s sentence in Jackson- county. The statement is untrue. I. W. Avery.” It will thus he seen that here is an other campaign slander overtaken and disposed.

One of our merchants complains of the negroes who are employed by other merchants, as street drummers, and he says he is not alone in this complaint—that ail the merchants who do uot practice it, are strongly opposed to it. It seems that only a very few merchants resort to this questionable method of obtaining trade, and each one of them employs several negioes. These negroes are bold iu their solicitations, aud make themselves obnoxious not only to tlie merchants in front of whose doors they ply their trade, but also to the people from the country, who do not like to he thus annoyed, but who .prefer to trade where they choose uumolestcd.
