We learned the following partic ulars of the killing of Mr, James Ivey'in Baker county, too late for last week’s issue: It took place on Friday, the Ist inst, on the plantation “of J udge lt- D. Ivey, six miles from Milford. It seems that Mr. James Ivey, had rented a portion of his father’s land. Sam Long, was in his employ; and finding one of his hogs in the negroe’s pen, demanded it, when a dispute ensued, in which Mr. Ivey drew a pistol; whereupon the no. gro ran into the house, got a shot gun and from the dcor fired upon Mr. Ivey—four buckshot taking ef fect, and killing him in a half hour. Mr. Ivey was shot through the right arm, in the right breast, anl in the right eye. The negro fled, and is still at large. We learn that he had threat ened the life of tho deceased, and evidently had his gun loaded for tho purpose. Sam Long is a “ low country ” negro, using the broken English common to them. He is low, black, and stoutly built, and has a scar on the lip. We understand a liberal reward lias been offered for his ap prehension. Governor Leslie’s Inaugural. Governor Leslie, of Kentucey, commenced his inauguration ad dress by expressing his apprecia tion of the high honor conferred up on him, and promised to administer the office in the interests not of par ty, but of the entire people of the commonwealth. Ho said, “ I shall strive conscientiously and impar tially, to administer the laws so as to secure to all equal rights, as de fined by the Constitution and laws of the Federal and State Govern ments, and in such a manner that none shall violate the law with im punity, and none bo without its protection.” lie next referred to the posture of political affairs, which are revo lutionizing the Federal Government, pointed out its dangers, and the ne cessity of circumspection on the part of public officers, and promised to exert all his power in the inter csts of the people and good govern ment. The remainder of the ad dress was devoted to State matters. A Sensible View of Adver tising.—The Printer very perti nently remarks that “ some say it is no use for them to advertise, they have bceu in one place of business all their lives, and everybody knows them. Such people seem to forget to lake into consideration that our country is increasing in population nearly forty per cent, every ten years ; and no matter how old the place may be, there are constant changes taking place—some move to other parts and strangers fill their places. In this age of the .world unless the name of a business firm is kept constantly before the public, some now firm may start tip and by liberally advertising in a very short time take the place of the older ones, and the latter rust out as it were and be forgotten. No man ever lost money by judicious advertising.” Beast Butler Declares in Fa vor of Woman Suffrage. —ln his speech at Worcester, Massachusetts, last week, Beast Butler declared emphatically in favor of the Tight of women to vote, maintaining that suffrage was guaranteed to them by the Constitution. He had care fully considered the subject, and af ter reading the authorities had rea soned thus: There are but three exclusive privileges belonging to citizens of the United States—those of registering ships, of pre-empting land and of having passports. Wo men have always exercised these privileges, and hence they are American citizens. Now, as the right to the ballot is one of the privileges and immunities of an American citizen, and as the Con stitution provides that the laws of no siugle State shall take away any of the privileges and immunities of a citizen of all the States, women have the right of suffrage wherever they choose to demand it. The Beast was, therefore, flat-footed in his advocacy of their claims. The EriscoFAL Church in Amer ica.—The General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, which meets in Baltimore early in October, will have to consider the report of the committee on liubical amendments, which is likely to pro voke a discussion on some of the principal points on which the High Church and Low Church parties arc at issue. This committee have re cently had several long and busy sessions, and reported to have been unanimous iu their opinions. The result at which tliey have arrived is not known,nor does it follow that the convention will prove of so har monious a disposition as the com mittee have exhibited. There is, indeed every probability of an cx cited and bitter debate on the ritu listic questions which now agitato the church ; and, if previous expe rience counts for anything, it is not unlikely that the whole subject may be postponed to the next Gen eral Convention. Coleman’s Station Agricultural Soci ety. Pursuant to a call, a number Os the citizens of Tho 7th District met at Coleman’s Station on Saturday, the 9th inst., having in view the formation of a District Agricultural Society. On motion of Mr. N. T. Crozier, Capt. W. F. Davis was called to the Chair, and Mr. O. A. Barry re quested to act as Secretary. Mr. Crozier being called upon by the Chair to explain the object of the meeting, did so in a few brief and pertinent remarks ; after which he presented the Constitution and By Laws of the Dekalb County Ag ricultural Society. On reading the same, and striking out certain arti cles not applicable to a District So ciety, they were unanimously adopted. On motion of Mr. Lester a Com mittee of thror was appointed to se lect a name for the Society. “Cole man’s Station Agricultural Society” was submitted and adopted. The following gentlemen then came forward and subscribed their names : Capt. \Y. F. Davis, N. T. Crozier, R. D. Crozier, J. F. Sealey, J. C. Rivers, 11. T. Smith, B. 11. Lester, W. D. Hammock, J. G. Hammock, R. M. Day, D. 0. Andrews, T. Belcher, 11. C. Cater, O A. Barry. The meeting then proceeded to the election of officers by ballot, which resulted as follows : Thomas L. Douglass, President. Sanders Standley, Vice President. Osgood A. Barry, Secretary. R. D. Crozier, Treasurer. On motion of Mr. N. T. Crozier, Mr. O. A. Barry was requested to address the Society at the next reg ular. meeting on the subject of “Im migration.” On motion of Mr. Andrews, Mr. R. D. Crozier was requested to ad dress the Society at the next meet ing upon “ The Importance of Agri cultural Societies.” On motion, it was resolved to re quest the “ Cuthbert Appeal ” to publish the pjficeedings of this meeting. The Society then adjourned, to meet again at Moccasin Head School House on the 3d Saturday in Oeto. her. Osgood A. Barry, Secretary. Why the Democrats Lost Cal ifornia.—The New York Sun, of Saturday, explains the Democratic defeat in California as follows: The Democrats have lost Califor nia by a small majority. This is due to a weak platform, a feeble candidate for Governor, and a can vass on their part destitute of spirit. Tho platform spoke in dubious phraseology in regard to old issues, and especially the validity of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend ments. The administration of Haight, the present Democratic Governor, is very unpopular, and yet his office-holders insisted upon putting him on the track for a sec ond term. Tho Republicans nomi nated Newton Booth, a favorite with the people, and threw into the campaign a powerful array of speak ers from the Eastern States, while tho Democrats had no orator capa ble of meeting them, except the lion. S. S. Cox, of this city. A Family Without the Nkws i’aper.—Nothing presents a sadder commentary upon the present un healthy condition of our once loved and prosperous country than the largo number of families, both in the city and country, but more es pecially in the latter, that subscribe to no paper of any kind. Hundreds and thousands of families are thus growing up in utter ignorance of what is daily transpiring in the world around them, ignorant of the mighty events of to-day. But who can tell the vast amount of injury that is being inflicted upon tbe ris>« ing generation, those who arc to take our places.in the busy world at no distant day, growing up with out any knowledge of the present, the past, or any study,.of the fu ture ; and this ignorance, too, be ing imbued into them by the sanc tion of those who should, and doubt less do know better, did they only think of the injurious effects of their insane course. Let the head of ev ery family think of this and place in the hands of those for whom he is responsible the means of acquir ing a thorough knowledge of the moving panorama in which we en act our parts. Rome, September 9. — The Pope has sent a letter to M. Thiers, con gratulating him upon the continu ance ot his term of office. The Pa pal journals of to-day contain a se vere criticism upon Napoleon. Tho Atferir Society threatens to burn the Vatican. Precautions have been taken against such a crime, but in case an attempt should be made, and anarchy should en sue, the person of the Pope will be protected by the flags of foreign embassadors. Wiiat Does it Mean ? —The fol lowing advertisement appears in a Charleston paper of Thursday : Attention ! Upper Wards.— All those in favor of organizin''' a Mounted Club, to use only the°sa bre and revolver, will please assem ble at our Hall, corner Line and King streets, on Friday evening, Bth inst., at 8 o’clock, for the pur pose of business. None others but true and tried men are expected to attend. LaGrange, Georgia, rejoices in a colored base ball club known ns the “Limber Heels.” DARIEN. A Sad State oif Ajfairs—A Ategro Autocrat—How he Manages Things—Makes a Speech and Collects Tithes—Sacked by an Armed Banditti—A Mockery of Law Strata Bail — Officers Afraid to do their Duty—Beady for a Massacre. Correspondence of the Atlanta Sun. Darien, Ga., Sept. 5, 1871. Editor's of the Sun : Possibly there is no autocrat who wields a greater influence over his subjects than the negro Senator Campbell wields over his serfs in this section of the State. The slaves of Alad din’s lamp were never more prompt in responding to a call, or more ex peditious in executing a commission. His decrees are carried out as faith fully as the decrees of a monarch could be. His ipse dixit is tho only obligation the ignorant negroes care to know, and it is needless to say that his voice is not always raised for good. The public is aware of the fact that this autocrat caused the deten tion of the British boat Grace, dis charging tlie sailors and holding the vessel for three weeks by a gang of armed negroes. He was arrested for the offense and taken before a Uni ted States officer and a farcical trial had, and Campbell discharged. He went home, and sent outrunners .to make known that on a certain day he would make a speech. The day came, and with it., every negro “ for miles and miles around,” and the speech was made. Language fails in an effort to describe the na ture of the speech. He told the negroes that they should thank God on their knees every night for sending him to them ; that be was the champion of their race and was willing to suffer martyrdom for their sakes; that as Christ had shed his blood for their souls, so he would shed Ins for their liberty. At the conclusion of tho speech he took oocasion to remind them of the fact that, as lie was willing to do the suffering, they must “ foot the bills ” —that the laborer was worthy of his hire. Ho wanted every man woman and child to bring up their offering—“ none of your one and two dollars will do forme,” says he; “money, and a plenty of it, I must and will have. So bring it right along ! ” and they brought it. Oue old negro said lie had no money, but would give a bushel of potatoes ; another offered a peck of rice; some would bring fish, another oysters, &c. Camp bell slept that night a wealthier if not a better man. The following day, believing that he had the world in a swing, he ar rested another British captain, whose offense consisted in defend ing his quarter-deck against a mu tinous negro crew, who attempted to take his boat and leave his vessel. In all these outrages upon the persons and property of the whites, he seems to have the sympathy of the United States officials, and is backed by a band of three or four hundred armed negroes, the whole of whom he can assemble at an hour’s notice, and who would do his bidding, even to tbe slaying of every white person within their reach. When the Sheriff was ordered fry Judge Sessions to arrest the mu tinous crew of the boat Grace, and deliver them to the Captain, he re fused to do it, saying that he would be murdered if he did; that they were guarded by a hundred armed negroes who swore they should not be taken. The Sheriff is a negro, but not a favorite with Campbell. He is the only officer in tbe county who is disposed to do his duly, but is powerless to do a thing contrary to the wishes of Campbell. When the Sheriff was ordered by Judge Sessions to arrest the muti nous crew’ of the boat Grace, and deliver them to the Captain, he re fused to do it, saying that he would be murdered if he did; that they were guarded by a hundred armed negroes who swore they should not be taken. The Sheriff' is a negro, hut not a favorite with Campbell. He is the only officer in the county who is disposed to do his duty, but is powerless to do a thing contrary to tbe wishes of Campbell. A warrant from the Superior Court of Fulton county, for the. ar rest of Campbell, was sent to Da rien, which the Sheriff would not execute until he had Campbell’s permission to do so. He was then taken before Judge Gillison, a white Justice, and required to give bond. The bond was worthless, and the Judge received it. The court house and yard was full of infuriated ne groes, swearing that the heavens and earth should come together, be fore Campbell should go to jail. One white-haired old negro, who appeared to be acting as chief that day, when the Judge refused to ac cept the bail, said to the crowd, “ jVoic is the time ! ” In an in stant every negro in the house was upon his feet; but Campbell turned and said, “ Mot wojo,” and all was quiet immediately, every negro re suming his seat. A white lawyer, who does the dirty work for Campbell, then drew up a writ of habeas corpus , and the Ordinary (negro) sent for Campbell and discharged him forthwith upon the “ straw bail ” that he bad offer ed. The Ordinary has since acknowl edged that his action was illegal, and that he knew it was at the time; but if be had sent Campbell to jail there is no telling what would have been the consequence. Bennett, the Sheriff, remarked in the presence of several white gen tlemen, that there were no less than three hundred stand of arms on the premises ready for instant use, and he believed that if he had attempt ed to put Campbell in jail, his life would have been forfeited, and that a general massacre would have fol lowed. Such is also the opinion of the citizens of Darien. Under all these aggressions, the people have been patient and for bearing, trusting the coming time when the State will be rid of Bul lock and those he has sent out to pester and annoy tho people. Let the day come quickly. * * * Air Line Railroad. This is destined to be one of the most important railroads in Geor gia. The editor of the Atlanta Constitution, writing from Green ville, South Carolina, gives the following particulars about it. This road will be about 245 miles long when completed. From Char lotte to Spartanburg, a distance of seventy miles, there are about two thousand hands working ; the grad ing is nearly done; track-laying has begun at the Charlotte end; the bridges are in rapid process of construction, and the contractors think that by the first of February they can have this section ready for the cars to run over. Between Spartanburg and Greenville, a dis tance of thirty miles, there over eight hundred hands grading.— The track-laying will begin on this section in a short while from Spar tanburg this way, in order to facili tate the work. The contractors think that this section will also be ready for the trains by February.— The first of May at the farthest will probaby seo tho daily trains running from Charlotte to this point. From Greenville to Atlanta the road will be about 145 miles long. Os this distance the cars are running from Atlanta to Gaines ville, 53 miles. About 25 miles are graded this side of Gainesville and nearly ready for the iron.— About eight hundred hands are working on this part of the load.-- Wo thus have about 67 miles from there to this point to be completed entire. The statement that tho Pennsyl vania Central Railroad, as a corpo ration, has bought out the road, is incorrect. Men interested in the management of that havo taken the entire contract to build the road, for which they get in pay the road stock except 14 per cent, in money. Tom Scott, Simon Came ron, two Baltimore and New York capitalists, form the company of contractors. A Mr. Dickinson, of New York, was the original con tractor, I am informed, at a sum of six millions for the whole road.— Scott <£’ Cos., paid him a bonus of §300,000, and took his contract. The Passengers of a Stage Blind folded and Robbed. A LADY SECURES THE TKKASURE-BOX The Castroville (Cal.) Argus gives the following particulars of a recent stage robbery: “ As bold a robbery as ever we heard of was perpetrated on Tlntrs day of last week near Soap lake, and about eight miles from Gilroy, by three men, two of whom were, without doubt, the men who robb ed McMahon on tho San Juan moun tain the Saturday evening before. At Soap lake they stopped the Vis alia about one o’clock in the after noon, and made the driver drive through a gap they had torn in the fence, and into a grove at the mouth of a canon, where they blindfolded him and all his passengers, except a young lady and one gentleman, whom she claimed as her husband, and who, in defence of her entreat ies, they permitted to keep his place. The others they tied, blid folded and stripped of all money and valuables. From the supposed husband they requiied his money, and ho handed them fifty-three dollars, three of which they returned,* on the repre sentation of the wife that herself and husband ought to have enough left them to pay tor meals between there and Visalia. Her coolness and ingenuity saved the express box also, for when the stage was stopped it lay at her feet in sight partially, but with her foot she drew it back until it was bidden by her clothes. Beside the stage a teamster with a load of pickets, a single traveler in a buggy, and a boy on horseback were captured and corraled at the same placo by them, but the boy having only a half dollar was allowed to retain it. The plunder they obtained amount ed to S6OO or S7OO. Leaving their captives bound and blindfolded, with the exceptions named, they rode off, and turning from the Vi salia road, starled up the valley for Hollister on a public road. They had not gone far when they encoun tered a Mr. Grewell within about two hundred yards of his house and relieved him of $6 50, leaving him in a frame of mind that led to pursuit, by him, of them nearly to Hollister, and then into the moun tains east of that town.” Brunswick & Albany Road.— The various washes, breaks, &c., which have recently retarded oper ations and interferred with travel on this road havo about been re paired and restored to order. We have the pleasure of informing our readers that some time in the latter part of next week the line will be open for regular travel to Albany, when new and handsome cars will be put on the route and Brunswick & Albany may shake hands as near neighbors and old friends. This direct and speedy communication to the very heart of Southwestern Georgia may not have for us imme diate results, but it is none the full of significance, and will in the long run introduce to our mar kets as its appropriate and neigh boring mart the products of that section of our State which with its fertile lands will in the end find a paying and profitable industry for itself. If Southwestern Georgia can’t take the “situation” and thrive, then no other part of the South can do it —Brunswick Appeal. While Ben Butler was speaking near Springfield, some days ago, an envelope, closely sealed, was passed up to him from the audience. He opened it and several “spoons” fell out. Yielding to an old habit he put them in his pocket and went on with his speech. From the Christian Index. Obituary. Mas. Martha Rebecca Ktnnoo.—This tx cellmt Christian Indy, wile of Judge William Kiddoo, of Cuthbert, Ga, and daughter of Mis. 11. C. Thornton, of the same piece, fin ished her earthly course on the first day of Ju ly at the early age ol 28 years. She professed religion when young, and was baptized in the fall of 18;9, by Rev. J. F. Dagg. She pos. etSfed a superior and well cultivated mind, as I had ample opportunity to know. In pre. pat iug my work on the Evidences of Chris tianity, she was my constant fellow-laborer ; and if the book is to do any good iu the world, the benefit may he attributed in large part, to the labor which she performed, without which I could not have a: compiished the woik. In all tho iutimate association, she was uniform ly amiable, and nothing ever occurred to ren der our intercourse unpleasant, or to lessen the esteem which I entertained for her. But the crowning excellence cf Mrs. Kiddoo’s character, was her piety, and this shone out with peculiar lustre as she drew near her heavenly home. It was not my privilege to see her in her last lingeiing illness, but I am credit ly informed that who had this ptivilege found the chamber in which site lay, to he “ quite in the verge of heaven.” A clergyman who visited her makes this report. “ I came to minuter, tut was ministered unto. I am often silent, for I feel that she can in struct me. My faith is strengthened by each visit to her.” Others who visited her, left her declaring their purpose to be better Chris tians. She often lamented that she had not done more to promote the cause of the Re deemer, and she gave from her sick bed many affectionate and faithful admonitions. To a relative who was inclined to skepticism, she sent a message : “ Tell him there is a reality in the religion of Jesus. lam now almost iu heaven, and I feel and know there is a leality. Tell him to live for Jesns ; there is nothing else worth living for.” For weeks before her death, she appeared to be not of this earth, and her spiritual joy seemed to make every feature tadiaot. As her end approached, she expressed her ardent longing for the enjoy ment of God, which she had a near prospect, by exclaiming, “ As the hart panteth after the water brook, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God!’’ When her emotions were less ecstatic, she signified the calm quiet which reigned in her heart by frequently repeating the 23d Psalm. After her voice had failed, she was heard to whisper this and lightful Psalm, a few moments before she expired : Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.” She left two children in the care of her sorrowing husband and mother.
