THURSDAY, July 15, 1875,
GENERVIi GEORGIA NEWS.
General Beiming’s life was insured in
the Brooklyn Life Insurance Company
for SIO,OOO. J
The Count T. Kosciusko Oglesby who
runs the “Mr. Stephens’ ” department
should have stated that the Macon
Telegraph published the Fourth oration
“ by request.”
Columbus Sun: A four year old son
of Rev. J. O. Branch fell from his bed
in his father’s house ou Sunday night
and broke both arms. The child, we
are told, is now getting on very well.
Rome Courier: On the morning of
the 9th inst., a little daughter of Mr.
Culverson, aged nine years, living near
Ridge Valley Iron works, was bitten
by a rattlesnake, and from the effects
of which she died in about an hour.
Columbus Sun: Information reached
us last night that the negro who waited
on Gen. Benning was arrested in the
afternoon, on the charge of having
stolen the pocket book, said to have
contained SIOO and the watch of his
employer, while he was dying.
Columbus Enquirer: Father Miller,
priest in charge of St. James and St!
Phillips Catholic parish, in this city,
leaves Columbus in a few days, and is
to be succeeded by Father Quinlan, of
Atlanta. Father Miller goes to Savan
nah, where he is to become the editor
of the Southeryi Cross, anew weekly
paper to be established in Savannah, in
the interest of the Catholic Church,
and the political advancement of the
South. A. R. Lamar, Solicitor General
of the Savannah Circuit, is to be the
political editor.
Rome Commercial : We see in the
last issue of the Times, that a child,
about eighteen months old, of Mr. A. J.
Langley, living near Gadsden, was kill
ed by a chicken. While the child was
playing in the yard, it was furiouslyat
tacked by a rooster, knocked down and
spurred several times. Dr. Ewing, who
was called in, says tuat one stroke of
the spur entered the brain through the
sueher connecting the occipital and
temporal bones, which in young chil
dren are not knitted together. The
Doctor thinks this is the first case of
the kind in the history of the world.
Forsyth Advertiser: Ramah Church
building was burned on Saturday night
last. This is the house that was sold
by the Sheriff a few days since, con
cerning which so much has been writ
ten in the Advertiser. The first story
belonged to the Primitive Baptists and
the upper story to the Masons. It is
claimed that the sale by the Sheriff was
illegal, and no title had been passed.
Red Bone Grange held a meeting in
the Lodge room ou Saturday after
noon, but as there was no fire it is
thought that the building was set on
fire by an incendiary. We trust not,
but the matter will doubtless undergo
investigation. We can imagine uo mo
tive for the deed, as the Baptists and
the Masons prized the building highly.
Only three hundred dollars was due
on the house and that could easily
have been paid.
Athens Watchman: On Wednesday
afternoon of last week, a most remark
able storm of thunder, lightning, wind
and rain visited this city and the “ re
gion round about.” We were absent
and did not witness it in person, but
are informed that it was absolutely
frightful and terrific. The whole at
mosphere appeared to be charged with
electricity, and the blinding flashes fol
lowed in rapid succession, accom
panied by deafening peals of thun
der. Several houses and many
trees in and around the city were
struck—one negro man was killed near
town and one or two animals. The
wind did very little damage except in
prostrating the growing corn. * *
We regret to learn, as we do through
the Forest News, that Mr. J. T. Morri
son, an old eitiz<*a of Jackson county,
lost life life one day last week by being
crushed anil mangled by machinery at
the tan-yard of the Messrs. Randolph.
* * Our young friend, Joe Comer, of
this count}’, drove into market last
week over 100 bushels of very tine
wheat and has 200 more that he will
have here shortly. Joseph is on the
right track. Let others follow bis ex
ample.
Macon Telegraph: The alarm was
given between four and five o’clock, and
almost simultaneously with the first
tap of the bell a black volume of smoke
arose on Mulberry street, and mingled
itself with the clouds above. The fire
was first discovered in the forage loft
of Mr. J. S. Stewart’s livery stable on
the coiner of Mulberry street, and
thero was barely time to give alarm
before almost the entire building was
enveloped in flames. The building was
old and very dry, furnishing splendid
food for the devouring element. The
flames took hold of it readily, and very
soon it was wrapped in a sheet of fire,
while tongues of flame reached out in
every direction. Inashortwhilethey had
reached across the alley in the rear and
laid hold of Masterson & Pound’s
stable, which was immediately envelop
ed iu fire, the two making one of the
grandest conflagrations we have ever
seen in Macon. The firemen were out
with as much alacrity as possible, and
very soon each steamer was pouring its
stream into the burning lake, but for a
time no impression seemed to be made,
the flames licking up the water as fast
as it fell. From Masterson’s stable they
reached out to the brick building on
the corner of Third and Walnut streets,
owned by Mr. John L. Jones
aud occupied by Mrs. Hall as a board
ing house. A splendid effort was made
to save this building, but it was left al
most a total ruin. The two stables were
consumed, but all the live
stoclf and nearly all vehicles and har
ness were saved. “The entire loss by
the fire will probably exceed SIo,UOU,
only a small portion of which was
covered by insurance. The fire origi
nated from a stroke of lightning.

LETTER FROM COKESBURY.
Due West Female College Commence
ment — War derings — Hot Weather,
Ac.. Ac.
[From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Cokesbuuy, S. C., July 13th, 1875.
Thursday last was Commencement
Day for the Due West Female College.
The day was cloudy, with a pleasant
breeze stirring, which was a Godsend
to the large crowd in attendance. I
cannot say the occasion was delightful,
though the young men and young
ladies seemed to think so. It is not
every one that expects to enjoy an in
tellectual treat, but some go to see and
be seen, to court and be courted. Com
mencements are humbugs and do not
indicate true progress or show what
advance the pupils have made. It is
very much like a circus—-when you
have seen one you have seen all, the
best part is to read the big posters
aud programme and to look at the
pictures and horses. At an early
hour the commodious chapel was
thronged and packed with a
large audience. After prayer the
regular exercises began. First, The
Salutatory, by Miss Kate Patton, then
followed the reading of the following
essays: Eldorado, by Miss Ellen M.
Brice; No More, by Miss Lizzie M.
Clinkscales; Letter, by Miss Nettie L.
Douglass; Gather Life’s Roses and
Tread Lightly on its Thorns, Julia M.
Johnson; Tout Porte la Marque Divine
Dans I’Univers, Miss Fannie S. Bradley;
’Tis Not Wealth that Makes the Man,
Janie S. Lemon ; What Made the Differ
ence, Hattie Mellvain; An Etherial
Tour, Emma H. McMullan; The Past,
Present and Future, Lucie J. Moore;
Nothing but Leaves, Miss Nina Rabt;
Letter, Lulie N. Norris; Motives to In
tellectual Labor, Miss Mattie Wardlaw;
Allen Percy, Lizzie J. White; When
Men are Brave a Sickle is a Spear, An
na M. Young; Valedictory, Ella J.
Elliott; Farewell from the Amelian So
ciety, Miss Maggie I. Rutherford.
The Commencement address was in
good taste and the sentiments elegant
ly aud forcibly expressed by the
speaker. Gen. Preston was not there
to put forth the words of gall and bit
terness about the war and its results.
The press has lashed him well for his
revival of the Confederate ghost. Such
men as Preston, Toombs and others
may find it difficult to learn that there
is another revolution going on, and
that there is a time to cease nursing
wrongs, and that it is bad surgery to
reopen wounds that have healed. As
sensible people, we must make the
most of the present situation, and
strive to make it better. Brooding
over the memories of the past, aud re
fusing to do our duties to the present
will act as a brake to the wheel of pro
gress and peace, aud filially bring it to
a standstill.
Your strictures were, therefore, emi
nently just aud in accord with the great
mass of the people. The young men of
to-day are wiser in many respects than
their elders of the past. It is hard for
Bourbonism to profit by the bitter les
sons of dear bought experience.
I do not doubt the final victory of
right. Human nature is obliged by its
primitive constitution to be governed
by its ideas of right. Men must think
aud believe wrong, before they can do
wrong, at least on a large scale. To
convince a community that a given
measure is right, is tantamount to its
adoption and must precede it. This is
what the press has done for us iu dis
cussing the varied aspects of the re
sults of the war and obliged the people
to see and act upon the light, so that
its ultimate triumph will be secured.
Ou the Fly.
I have lately been on a flying visit to
portions of Abbeville, Edgefield and
Newberry counties. The crops are
looking well, but grassy. The yield of
wheat and oats is very satisfactory;
the price is less than at any time since
the war. The corn prospect is the best
I have seen for years. At Newberry
the court was in session, and trying the
case of Arthur Glover for the murder
of Gomillion. The case consumed
several days, and, after able speeches
on both sides and an elaborate charge
from the Judge, was given to the jury.
They retired and returned into couit
and informed the Judge that they
could not agree upon a verdict. The
bar of Newberry is a good one, though
I cannot say as much for the Judge
and Solicitor. The former is regard
ed as too slow and old fogyish;
the latter is under indictment for
drunkenness and official misconduct.
While the election of such men de
pends upon their political proclivities,
we may expect to see inefficient men
put in office. With a few exceptions, the
Judiciary of South Carolina is a dis
grace. It does not help the situation
that such Judges too often find unscru
pulous lawyers ready to play into their
hands, and together let some of the
worst cases go unwhipt of justice. Ig
norance thus joined to cunning and as
sisted by money has done great harm,
and will continue to do so until men of
deep learning, spotless integrity and
ample minds are cnosen in their stead.
Newberry is a progressive town, with
live newspapers and energetic mer
chants. A large cotton and guano
trade is carried on, and more cotton
shipped from this point than any other
on the G. and C. R. R. The Newberry
Bank affords all the necessary facilities
for trade, and i3 on a firm financial
basis. The citizens are refined and in
telligent, churches are plentiful and
school facilities abundant. The negro
element is strong aud intensely Radi
cal ; they likewise have their churches
and schools—one named in honor of
Hoge, the carpet-bagger, who is an eye
sore to all good men. We hope the
reform movement will take him out of
Congress where he misrepresents us,
and laud him in the penitentiary, along
with Parker, Moses and the rest of tfie
vultures that prey upon our vitals !
Hot Weather.
We have had some very hot weather
but tempered with gentle showers of
rain. How does the Constitutionalist
get along? Do you pant for cool
shades, or find yourself unconsciously
singing “From Greenland’s icy moun
tains.” Editors generally complain that
they cannot write as usual during the
hot weather. I have not seen any
falling off in the pungent and crisp edi
tions of your paper. Your labors on
the tripod or in filling orders for the
Japanese long fibre corn have not told
upon you. Bat editors like rest and
recreation as well as anybody else.
What say you to a trip to the moun
tain region of Upper South Carolina
and Georgia ? For cheapness and a view
of some of the finest scenery in America
it cannot be surpassed. It is time that
all who contemplate a visit to the
springs or mountains had their traps
packed. I hope you will urge upon all
such and especially those who contem
plate going to the White Sulphur or
Saratoga Springs for once to try our
mountain country and they will not re
gret it,
Saratoga has plenty of mineral water
I grant, but the crowds of shoddy and
roughs, together with the city appear
ance of the place with the high prices
ought to be enough to keep away South
erners. There are now no dark-eyed
belles from Louisiana nor ? ‘violet-oyed
beauties” from South Carolina as in
ante helium days. The White Sulphur is
not much better. The truth is, sober
people who are hunting quiet and
ease, do not like to be thrown
among a peculiar class of people
who come to such places to
make matches, or to devise political
schemes. What route can be more
delightful than to visit Toccoa, Anna
Ruby, Tullulah—through the beautiful
vale of Nacoochee thence to Greenville,
S. C., and from thence visit North
Carolina, Tennessee etc. The visitor to
Greenville will be impressed with the
evidence of prosperity and progress in
this beautiful mountain eity.
Here will be found plenty of indus
try, plenty of pleasure, plenty of beauty,
plenty of dust and in wet weather
plenty of mud. It is no unusual sight
at such times to see
“Eeauty splashing- through the gutters,
Trailing through the mire,
Mud up to the ankles,
Aula little higher,
Little hoys uproarious,
Can they show their feels
Bless me this is glorious,
Sweeping down the streets.”
Timon.
Death of Mrs. Jane Tweedy Butler.
[Greenville (July 13th) News.]
This distinguished and venerated
matron died on Sunday, 11th inst., at
the residence of her son-in-law, Charles
Carson, in Greenville county. She had
been prostrated for several months
from age and other infirmities. Mrs.
Butler was the widow of Dr. Wm. But
ler, eldest son of Gen. Wm. Butler, of
Revolutionary fame, and brother of
Judge Pickens Butler and Gov. Pierce
M. Butler. She was the youngest
daughter of Commodore Christopher
Raymond Perry, of the United States
navy, and the sister of Commodore Oli
ver H. Perry, of Lake Erie memory,
and of Commodore Calbreth Perry, of
the United States navy. She was the
mother of our own South Carolina Con
federate General, M. Calbreth Butler,
and of Col. Wm. Butler and Capt. O. N.
Butler, who distinguished themselves
in the late war.
Mrs. Butler was a remarkable woman
in many respects. She was not only
connected by blood and marriage with
the chivalric Butlers, of South Caro
lina, but she was also a daughter of a
family of Rhode Island, renowned for
its heroic name, that will ever live im
perishable in the history of the United
States.
She was born in Newport, Rhode
Island, in December, 1791. Iu July,
1819, she married Dr. William But
lor, of this State, theft a sur
geon in the United States navy, at
Brooklyn, New York. From the mar
liage was born sixteen children, most
of whom lived to grow to maturity.—
Four sons and four daughters survive
her, whose grief is now shared by many
sympathising friends. Mrs. Butler in
her more youthful days was remarka
ble also for her beauty, and she was a
fine looking lady to the last. She pos
sessed tine intelligence, and was always
sprightly, pleasant and entertaining in
the society of her friends. Asa wife
and mother, she was unexcelled in de
votion to her duties. She possessed
the energetic and heroic spirit that cer
tainly distinguished her family. A
characteristic anecdote about her is
familiar to the people of Greenville.
When the Yankee raid, after the sur
render, swooped down on Greenville,
some of the soldiers robbed her of a
horse. She called on the commanding
officer for redress, and was introduced
a3 Mrs. Butler, sister of the distin
guished Commodore Oliver H. Perry.
She refused to curry favor on that
ground, and immediately said, “I had
much rather be known as the mother
of Gen. Calbreth Butler.” The officer,
however, was magnanimous enough to
order restitution,
Mrs. Butler was a resident of Green
ville for about forty-five years, with the
exception of a short interval, when,
with her husband she resided in the In
dian reserve, iu Arkansas, whilst he
was holding the office of Indian agent,
during President Tyler’s administra
tion. Dr. Butler once represented the
district of Pendleton and Greenville in
Congress, succeeding General Thomp
son in 1840. He was distinguished for
his integrity and honorable and manly
qualities. We believe Mrs. Butler was
the last survivor of her father’s child
ren. Her memory will be ever venera
ted by her descendants, aud by ali who
appreciate true worth and high and
noble qualities in man or woman, who
may be acquainted witli her name.
Struck by Lightning.
[Greenville News]
On Sunday afternoon last, during
the severe thunder storm, the light
ning struck a China tree near the resi
dence of Mr. John Batson, who lives
about four miles from Greenville, near
the Rutherford road. The lightning
glanced from the tree to the dwelling
house, and thence to the shed room,
shivering it badly. Mr. Batson and
little daughter were sitting ou the step,
when the lightning passed over the
child, striking and splitting the step,
and then struck a pile of wood iu the
yard, splitting every stick, and then in
thirty yards tore up the road very
badly.
There were nine persons in the house,
ali being stunned, nobody seriously
hurt, except Mr. Batson, whoso arm is
now paralyzed.
