If it is an evil to let things “go
to waist' 1 " there is no danger of
some some girls having the evil to
necount for.
It is known that since 1869, no
proposition, direct, or indirect, has
been made by the United States for
the purchase of Cuba.
The granite foundation for the
new Trinity Methodist Church, in
Atlanta, is finished and the-brick
work will be commenced.
A woman in Indiana has hid her

The Dalton Citizen calls the lands
in Randolph county “crawfish

“crawfished” out of the late war
here. Easy, now, Whit.
Rev. F. M. Daniel, recently pas

city, has been employed, for the
present, as city Missionary, by the
Baptists in Atlanta. lie will preach
regularly at James’ Chapel at the
usual hours, Sabbath morning and
night.
Bro. Russell, of the Bainbridge
Argus is extravagant in his editori

are fine gentlemen, and good writers,
but wo think the Argns would be

fourths of them for a good printer.
Goldsboro’ N. C., had a bloody

killed, one colored policeman killed
and two wounded.
Charles Obadiaii Johsox, a
Radical, legislator has proposed
“pistols and coffee to the local of
the Atlanta Sun for reporting a

It would be a pity for Charles
Obadiah to get his pretty face hurt;
but then his loss weuld be the
country’s gain.
Commissioner Pleasanton de
cides that borrowed capital, em
ployed by bankers, is no longer sub
ject to taxation. It is estimated
that this decision will reduce the
revenue receipts 010,000,000 and
will doubtless lead to innumerable
suits for reclamation. Deposits
heretofore thus employed were tax
ed five per cent.
Carmaguin, of the Philipitie

A foreign on dit says that the
visiting Russian Prince, the Grand
Duke’Alexis, will come to this coun
try with the hope‘of ridding him
self of a melancholy to which lie is
a prey* A similar sort of melan
choly is said to afflict his father, al
though in the case of the Czar it is
called by another name. The fact
is, there is, and has been for gener
ations, something the matter with
all the Romanoffs.
—-Ebenezer Bustard, of Louis
ville, has fallen heir to an estate in
Ireland, valued at 08,500,000.
A Grand Farce,
The most stupendous farce ever
perpetrated in any land, is now in
progress in the United States Capi
tol. Os course we mean the in
sittings of the Com
mittee appointed by the Radical
Congress, at its last session, to in
quire into the condition of the
South. And is it not strange that
the devotees of that cursed party of
fanatical plunderers, arc so blind as
to believe they will be able to hide
the real purposes of this unheard of
action from the eyes of the Ameri
can jieople?
Did Washington, and Jefferson,
and. Clay, and Webster, and Cal
houn ever dream, that a man would
occupy the Executive Chair of this
great Republic, so void of true pa
triotism, as to devote bis whole
term of oflice to such political trick
ery as would secure his re-election?.
And yet is it not clear that this is
but a part of Grant’s general pro
gramme for the accomplishment of
this end ?
The whole Eu Klux arrangement
was doubtless pushed through Con
gress by the hirelings of Grant, for
the carrying out of His ,-own pur
poses. While only occasionally an
honest, intelligent Southern man is
summoned as a witness, the Capitol
is flooded with ignorant negroes
and notorious thieves and vaga
bonds, who arc ready, foe a small
feo to swear to anything necessary
to make out the desired points, in*
preparing for the Presidential Cam
paign. Men who have been com
pelled to leave the North on account
of their crimes, are hunted up, all
over the South, carried to Washing
ton and readily swear to all kinds
of blood and thunder stories about
the South.
This fraud is too portable; and
we would fain hope that even the
people of New England, with all
their puritanical, prejudices, cannot
he blinded to tiie real purposes of
these political gamblers, in this huge
game of Ivu Eluxism.
Well may this party of blood and
carnage seek even , this means of
perpetuating its existence. The
people are already worn out with
its wrangling and striving, and
they desire a return . to the and tys of
peace and contentment for the
whole country. If the leaders, of
the Democracy, North and South,
but act the part of wise men
cease their discussion of technicali
ties, roll up their sleeves, and unite
in the one purpose of defeating the
Radical party in the next election,
victory will perch upon our banners,
and the whole country will rejoice
in the prospeet of a season of gen
uine peace, with all its attendant
blessings.
Tluyi, let us go to work, first to
secure an honest, patriotic admin
istration of the affairs of govern
ment, and settle the mtnutiic of the
party’s make up after the fight is
made and victory won.
More Trouble for Cuba.
Tt really seems to be. says the
New York Post, a prospect that
the barbarous civil war in Cuba
will be renewed.' For-more than a
year this irregular warfare has been
kept tip almost solely by the aid of
“filibusters” from the United
States and the neighboring West
India islands. Put the base of
operations and of supplies is now
changed.
Several days ago vague reports
were circulated in Montreal and
other cities of the Dominion that
men were organizing in bands at
different points for some secret pur
pose. It now seems to be certain
that tfyeir destination is Cuba. Ile
eruiling officers are stationed at
Montreal, London, Toronto, Hamil
ton, and, it is supposed, several oth
er places. At Montreal they report
that no more men are required ; in
the other cities they are enlisting
rapidly. A large amount of am
munition has been purchased, and
it is said that the men who have
«
seen service in the Red lliver ex
pedition, or have been completely
drilled in the regular militia service
of the provinces, are especially
sought for.
No definite idea can be given of
the force to be sent, but appearan
ces indicate that it is the most form
idable attempt yet made to send
rebels in Cuba. Much excitement
followed the exposure of the scheme
in Montreal; aud it is likely that
the “filibusters’’ will have' great
difficulty in eluding the authorities,
who will endeavor to prevent their
departure.
B. C. & C. Railroad.
Large and enthusiastic meetings
have been held in Stewart Coun
ty, during the past week, in the in
terest of this road. Dr.’ A. L.
Hamilton, Jli*. J. K. Bantu m, Col
Wimberly and others, have been in
defatigable in their efforts to show
the great importance of building
it. Their labors have been crowned
with success, and there‘is no longer
any doubt of the construction of
the road.
The raising of an amount of
$132,000 to Lumpkin, is a fixed
fact. The people of Stewart are
wide awake upon the subject, and
the glorious work goes bravely on.
Editorial Correspondence.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. Ist, *7l.
Dear Christian : Since my de
parture from Cuthbert, 1 have had
a very pleasant time I spent a day
in Macon pleasantly, and then pro
ceeded to Griffin where I stopped
for four or five days. Griffin is one
of the most desirable and beautiful
towns in middle Georgia, and is fast
improving. lias many business
houses of the first order, and the
spirit of improvement is rife among
her citizens. They have three first
class newspapers which are w’ell
sustained.
After leaving Griffin I came to
Atlanta, whore everything appears
in a stir, and business of all classes
appears to be brisk. The Supreme
Court being in session at this time,
I met many members of the bar
from different parts of the State.—
Several are here from Cuthbert,
looking after the interests of their
clients.
This tribunal in its decisions last
week sustained the lease of the M.
& W. It. R., and ruled that firemen
were subject to jury duty. The re
sult of the former was an impera
tive order from the Railroad King
(?) Wadley, to all officials on tli6
road to cease taking the Macon &
Brunswick Railroad money, for any
dues to the road. This was expect
ed,.a&d is characteristic of the man.
They immediately put on regular
trains over the road on the Sab
bath, which will continue carrying
mails, passengers, freight, etc. —
The latter case will go to a higher
tribunal for a final decision, where
it is thought, and believed the de
cision of Loch ran e will be reversed,
and the gallant firemen of our State
be allowed the same courtesy (if
not legal right') of similar organiza
tions in other States.
Since our first arrival in this city
we have enjoyed the pleasure of a
brief trip tip the State Road. • Our
first halt being at Cartersvile, a
thrifty and beautiful town, situated
on the banks of t\ic Etawah river.
Cartersvillo is situated in a very
rich and productive country, where
the cereals are grown abundantly,
and eight to ten thousand bales of
cotton are here sold annually. The
business houses are principally
brick, and are filled with goods,
which are being disposed of to the
entire satisfaction of the occupants.
I here met Rev. Tlieo. E. Smith,
formerly of your town, and one of
the trio of the corps editorial of
the Appeal in its earliest days. His
mAny friends will be gratified to
learn of the good health of himself
and family.
Our stay in Cartersville was brief
though highly gratifying, and we re
gretted exceedingly our inability to
accept the hospitalities of Gen
Y.—, M. C., so generously tendered.
Our next halt was made in Dal
ton. This place has made herculean
efforts to rise from the ashes, from
where it was put by the late war,
and bids fair to be a very impor
tant point in commercial interests,
as grain, bay, etc., is grown here in
great abundance. The lofty moun
tain peaks rise up on either side,
and one feels like taking a chase
over them after the deer and bear,
and other game that roam over
their summits. But alas, want of
time denies me this privilege.
The wheat crop in North Geor.
gia lias been an entire failure,
sioned b y the wet spring, and
the rust striking it before the grain
was forme 1. Corn looks as well as
ever was seen, and a bountiful yield
is confidently expected,although rain
is being needed, with but little
prospect of its coming soou.
As I returned from North Ga., I
halted not, but came on through to
my destination. I saw many ob
jects of interest while on the trains,
among which may be mentioned the
ice factory above Atlanta. Large
crowds go out from this city on
each morning train to witness the
modus operandi of “ boiling down ”
water to ice. I intend visiting this
place and “ cooling off” if nothing
more, before returning to Southwest
Georgia, and I may give you some
“dots” therefrom. They manu
facture from two to three tons of
ice here each day, at a cost of one
cent per pound, which enables all
Atlanta to imbibe freely of iced wa
ter or drinks.
1 will here “ freeze out.” More
anon. S.”
Who Taliafero Is !—Captain
Taliaferro, who lately “ swore like
our army in Flanders,” before the
Ivu Ivlux Committe at Washington,
has been unearthed at last. The
Selma Times found him first, and
according to the Times here lie is*:
\Ve once knew a private in the
Confederate army by the name of
Taliaferro, who hailed from Balti
more, Who was a camp follower and
skulker, and who helped to murder
fire Yankee prisoners near Madison,
Georgia, in November, 1864, and
we would not be surprised if this
is not the very man. For his sworn
statements to the Outrage Commit
tee are just in consonance with the
head and heart of a man who would
cowardly take to the woods, tied
five prisoners who had surrendered
themselves, and put a pistol to their
heads and murdered them. Only such
a man. could wilfully misrepresent
his people.

bedded 40,000 bushels of oysters.
Fearful Accideat—Vast Number
Killed and Wounded.*
By New York dispatches of -the
30th July we get the following pai’-
ticulars of a steam boat explosion
at New York :
The Staten Island ferry boat
Westfield exploded her boiler at
twenty minutes past one o’clock
to-day, in her slip at the foot of
Whitehall street. The concussion
was terrific, shattering the forward
part of the boat and killing a great
number of people. The hurricane
deck was cleared Overboard and a
large number of persons fell info
the water and were drowned. The
entire number lost is supposed to
be one hundred and fifty.
The Westfield was leaving her
slip.at the loot of Whitehall street
when the explosion occurred.—
three hundred of the usual Sunday
excursionists were aboard. The
yawning abyss extended from abaft
the engine room to the stern. The
deck seemed to h.avo opened. The
dead and dying were lying every
where among the timbers, splinters
and heavy machinery. The whole
upper works were shivered to a
thousand pieces. Many were blown
into the water and hauled out by
boatmen with hooks. Parties drag
ging the bottom of tho river are con
stantly bringing up the bodies of
men women and children. Many
are brought in scorched, bruised
and mutilated. Col. Murche, for
merly a partner of Garibaldi, was
badly scalded. It is estimated that
forty were killed outright.
Hon. W. M. Tumlin. —The Quin
cy Journal of the 28th, ult. con
cludes an article on the 8., C. k C.
Railroad, with the following deserv
ed compliment to our worthy" fol
low citizen :
We never think of this Road
without its bringing before us one
of its ablest and most indefatigable
projectors, Capt-. Win. M. Tumlin
of Randolph. When tho project
was first being agitated, on account
of the gross tyranny, usurpations
and frauds perpetrated by the party
in power, his section, (as was the
case in almost every other portion
of the South), was (lead mit only" to
Railroad projects, hut to all other
enterprises. As one of the Repre
sentatives of Randolph county,
Capt. Tumlin came forward and
with his acknowledged energy and
ability together with the timely as
sistance of others, succeeded in get
ting the charter through the Legis
lature—afterwards rendering great
aid and assistance in the oigantza
tion of the Company—and as one
of its first officers, in its construc
tion 1 as far as it has been done.—
Long may he. live to receive the
plaudit of a grateful constituency
“Well done thou good and faithful
servant.”
Narrow Guagk.— She Sun, of
Sunday, prints a letter addressed to
Gen. Benning, Col. Smith, Dr. Bus
sey and others, by Col. E Hulbert,
regarding the importance of the
Albany and Columbus Railroad,
lie advocates that the gunge should
he three feet. He conclusively
proves the immense value of the
road to Columbus, and why it
should be built now* that Colum
bus can now easily construct it and
do it better than she ever can; that
if she neglects this duty now, her
business will certainly depreciate.
Included in the letter showing* the
population, value of the farms and
the principal productions of the
country through which this and oth
er proposed roads centering at Co
lumbus pa.ss. From it we learn the
value of the farming interests of
the counties along the Albany and
Columbus Rail road $17,130,514, and
the' population 88,945 souls. *Col.

Death of Edmund Riiett Jr.—
The Charleston papers of Monday
announce the death of Edmund
Rhett, Jr., for many years associ
ate editor of the Charleston Mercu
ry, who.died on Saturday morning
at Cordesville, a village on the
Charleston Railroad. The Courier
says:
Since the war Captain Rhett has
lived in retirement on and near the
family plantation oh the Ashepoo,
where he has devoted himself as
siduously to growing rice. This
involved frequent exposure to the
malarial influences of that section,
and is believed to have hastened
the disease under which lie has suf
fered for many years.
A Good Reason. —A law student
the other day asked a witty son of
St. Crispin who lias a son in the
University, why he did not make a
shoemaker of his son. The reply
was—“ the boy has not sense enough
to make a good shoemaker, arid I
thought I would make a lawyer of
him ! ” The law student saw the
point and asked no more questions,

An Address to the Baptists of
Georgia.
It will be remembered by all,
that during the last convention of
our denomination at Cartersville, it
wfts'resolved to inaugurate a move
ment looking to the foundation and
endowment of a Georgia Baptist
Orphans’ Home at some suitable
place, and with sufficient means to
provide for the (veil-being, educa
tion and setting forward for the
business life, of such number of in
digent orphan children of the State,
as our means should justify our giv
ing home, and the opportunities of
religion., physical and intellectual
training to. The undci signed were
charged with initiating and giving
form to this generous charity,
sought to be put in motion by the
Baptists of Georgia.
Pursuant to the charge thus im
posed, we have met and completed
for present purposes, an organiza
tion with which you have been
made acquainted through the col
umns of the Index and Baptist.—
We have added to the number of
the original Board of Managers, as
we thought it within the scope of
our powers to do, Brethren Rev.
Sylvanus Landrum, of {Savannah,
J. J. Slade, Esq., of Columbus, and
Mordecai Edwards, of Oglethorpe
county, and have located the prin
cipal oflice for the discharge of the
business of our board in the city of
Atlanta.
We have little doubt that looking
to the healthfulness of a desired lo
cation, and its easy accessibility,
this city" is the best point which
could be selected for the central op
erations *of the purpose intended to
be served. We have adopted a
constitution for the government of
our board and business, with a view
to a large field of operations, to an
extended endowment, and a gen
erous support from the Baptists of
Georgia.
The Georgia Baptist Orphans’
Home is intended to be, in very
truth, what its name imports, a
home where the indigent orphan,
without reference to sectarian lim
its, shall receive a welcome, find a
home, be eared for, be given reli
gious, physical, and intellectual cul
ture suited to the wants of practi
cal life, and those more exalted
aims which look beyond the cares
of to-day, to that better and purer
world where want and suffering.are
unknown, where there arc no house
less, friendless little ones, and where
the orphans’ cry- is not heard.
Our organization consists of
C. Peeples, President.
L. G. Crawford, Secretary,
Jno. 11. James, Treasurer,
prudential committee.
C. Peeples,
Rev. W. T. Brantly,
Rev. E. W. Warren,
J. 11. James,
A. Iv. Seago,
all of Atlanta.
It is our purpose to secure, by
donation or purchase, a considera
ble body of land on or near to one
of the railroad lines centering bear.
Above this city, or near it, we are
inclined to think the best location
for the home could be bad. Some
offers of land arid improvements
have been already maeje us as a
donation. And we aresatifled that
the generosity of the kind-hearted
will leave us nothing to do in the
way of a location upon a body of
land large enough’for the wants of
the home, lmt the duty of deciding
between offers.
Feeling confident of success in
the good purpose thus inaugurated,
from the prospects which have so
far encouraged our labors, we have
ventured to select, as our general
agent and active canvasser for an
endowment, Rev. R. W. Fuller,
who will soon* entdr upon the active
duties of the agency. Os brother
Fuller, who is well known to Geor
gia Baptists, as welUas to the gen
eral public, little need be said. He
will enter upon the work with all
the zeal and with all the ardor of a
heart deeply impressed with the sa
cred burden of the charge commit
ted to his hands, aud with an hum
ble trust that the orphans’ God will
sustain him and the Board in this
good work, and raise up friends to
this noble charity, throughout the
length and bredth of the land.
And now, brethren, we send him
forth accredited with the purest of
purposes upon a most exalted mis
sion, to plead the cause of God’s
poor in the house and land of God’s
people. Who can, who will feel
justified in refusing our call? Who
can deny our plea or reject our
messenger? We* have .but little
funds now,on hand, and want the
means for building and setling. in
order a home for our charge before
the chilling winds of winter come,
to make lone the field and forest,
and pinch the luckless child of
want.
Let all who can do so, forward
at once what they can afford to our
treasurer, John 11. James, Atlanta,
Georgia.
We have appointed brethren C.
Peeples and J. 11. James to adver
tise and receive propositions for a
suitable body of land and improve
ments for the home.
