A poor cuss who happons most
Mufor tunately (or fortunately) to oc
cupy the “local chair” of a daily
.uswspaper, has to record all items
,of a newsy character that may come
•under his observation, arid frequent
ly his inclination. It is muchly
thusly at the present writing, when
we have record a personal rencontre
between a couple of our brother
‘monks of the quill.” For the past
few weeks Brother Waterman, of
the Houston Home Journal, and
Mr. Hancock, of the Georgia Dem
ocrat, have been slinging ink at
each other in a manner that hardly
any one having any kind of blood
in his veins would stand, on either
side. Yesterday the parties met in
our passenger depot and Mr. Wa
terman, who was entirely unarmed
ayalked up to Mr. Hancock and de
manded a retraction of certain
statements the latter had publicly
made. Mr. Hancock replied that he
could make no retractiou, whereup
on Mr. Waterman struck him io
the face with his open hand, or, in
other words, “slapped his jaws.”
Mr. Hancock jumped back and
drew a revolver, and Mr. Waterman,
(who had a small walking cane only
in hU hand) endeavored to prevent
jt. A scuffle ensued, the result of
which was that Mr. Hancock dis
charged the pistol over his left
hip, hitting Mr. Waterman in the
left bip, Mr. W. being at the time
behind Him. Mr. Waterman fell
#ind was conveyed by his friends to
the Brown House, where lie now
lies. Mr. Hancock gave himself up
to the first policeman he saw and
liad a hearing before Justice Gian
nis, who discharged him on his own
recognizance to appear if called up
on It is an affair to be regretted
on all sides, and we hope that we
shall hear no more of it. At latest
accounts we are happy to say that
Mr. Waterman is as comfortable
as can be expected, and no fatal
result is apprehended, though the
ball has not" yet been abstracted.
He is attended by Drs. Hammond
and Wright, who will see that he
lacks no attention.
r At midnight Mr. Waterman was
sleeping calmly, and no symptoms
ofa character to eieite the slightest
alarm had manifested themselves.-
Telegraph 8 th.
Cuthbert, May 4th 1872
Dear Sate tell :—Let me give
you a short account of the Excur
sion, Picnic, Base Ball Match, etc.
On Friday morning May 3rd, the
Students and Professors of Andrew
Female Coilege, the Eureka Base
Ball Club, together with many la
dies and gentlemen of this place,
took the cars for Georgetown ; all
intend on having a gay and festive
day.
Though the cars were crowded
all seemed, to judge from the bright
joyous faces of the younger mem
bers of the party and the smiling
countenances of the older, to enjoy
the trip hugely. The day was fine
the vide not long enough to be
tiresome and nothing occurred to
interfere with the pleasure of the
party.
Arrived at Georgetown the party
was conducted up to the spot se
lected for the Pic-nic, the Court
house and grounds, by a delega
tion from Georgetown. The place
selected rather threw a damper on
the.ardor of some, as it reminded
them very forcibly of daily cares
from which they were endeavor
ing to gain a short respite; while
others by slightly changing the
name of the house, making‘it a
courting house, had a—well, you
know how tis yourself.
The Base Ball ground was very
near the Court-house, quite conve
nient for those who wished to and
could pic-nic and sec the game at
the same time, but I rather think
it was crowding too many good
things together; for while the
game was being played that seemed
to absorb the attention of nearly all
to the exclusion of any other diver
sion or entertainment, and as the
ladies generally do not understand
the game I fear they were not as
weli entertained as they might
have been.
The Chattahoochee Club of
Georgetown, the challenged party,
were promptly on the ground and
seemed ready and eager for the
contest for superionty. Soon af
ter arriving, after having arranged
a few preliminaries, the game be
gan and four Innings were played
before dinner. In these the Eure
kas did much the better playing
and were far ahead and confident
of an easy victory, but in the after
noon, when five more Innings were
played, it was doubtful in whose fa
vor the decision would be.
The score at the end of the game
was.—Eurekas 79 runs Chatta
hoochees 67 runs ; the Eurekas mak
ing 12 more than the Chatta
hoochecs. After the announce
ment of the result of the contest
Mr J 11. Guerry Captain of the
Chattahoochee nines presented a
ball to the Eureka nine in a neat
and appropriate little speech which
was responded to by Mr Joe Rog
ers -in behalf of the Eurekas.
•One thing enjoyed by all to the
utmost was the dinner. This was
rich and bounteous and to ample
justice was done.
Yours B. B. T.
The Negro.
In an article on the negro, the
Eatonton Press and Messenger says ;
,( \Ye believe the enthusiasm once
burning in the colored man’s bosom
upon the suject of his new'y ac
quired suffrage is rapidly dying
out. This characteristic monomania,
made so manifest in ignorance and
bulleyism, on days of election, is
gradually subsiding; therefore it
becomes the more intelligent of
every community to exhibit no in
tei-est either for or against him, as a
politioial man, regarding him in
the light of a character whose privi
lege is to do as he pleases. If he
wants to vote let him do so peace
ably—if he does not, let him alone
in his exercise of his right to be re
tired from the crowd and confusion
on election Do not
poison his weak mind, or interfere
with his blissful ignorance by en
deavoring to enlighten him upon
the science and theory of Govern
ment so complicated and intricate
for even our wisest Statesmen ; nor
urgeupon him the necessity of voting
for this or that man. In fact, man
ifest no interest in his politicial
status, and soon the white people of
this country will be the only aspi
rants to ojfioe—elected by different
parties, it may be, among them
selves, the negro only coming in
as a balance of power—the grea
ter portion having given up all
political or suffrage aspiration.—
Convince him that with a whole
some administration of the laws by
honest people be has all his rights
and privileges secured, and you
make him at once contented to re
main at home faithfully digging,
“wid de shovel and de hoe,” feeling
concious that he is in the right
piace, and inspired with the hope
that when “ole Masser” above calls
he will depart this wicked world,
and go “whar de good darkies go.”
“Good for This Day and Train
Only.” —The fallacy of this print
ed notice on railroad tickets has
been several times decided by the
courts. It has recently been again
decided that an ordinary railroad
ticket, for which a consideration
has been received by the company,
is good until used, except such as
“through” tickets, or those issued
for special purposes ; and two hun
dred dollars damages were award
ed against a certain railroad for
ejecting a passenger.
A Thomaston merchant, if be
sells a clay pipe and a stick of
candy, now a day feels contented.

How r to Sklect a IIo»e in Texas.
As regards land titles, though
there are many of a doubtful char
acter, yet.there can be very little
difficulty, in getting the most indis
putable title to lands of any quality
that may be desired in any county
of the State. A man who goes
there with a view to farming and
raising stock, (which is the busi
ness of nearly all of the country
population,) has only to make up
his mind whether he wi'l make cot
ton, or sugar, or the raising of small
grain his chief object, and then se
lect that part of the country, best
suited to his purpose. It is true
these products can all be raised in
nearly all parts of the State; but it
is also true that the counties adapt
ed to the sugar cane, are not best
adapted to wheat and the other
small grains, and vice versa. Corn,
potatoes, and many vegetables are
grown almost oqually well in all
the settled portions of the State ;
but tobacco and rice, as well as
many other products, do much bet
ter in certain localities than in oth
ers. If the immigrant wishes to
make stock raising or sheep hus
bandry his chief business, he will
naturally turn his attention to the
West or Northwest, where the free
pasturage is almost boundless.—
But if he only wishes to make
stock-raising an auxiliary to farm
ing, he will find but few places
west of the San-antonio River to
suit him. That is not properly the
fanning portion of the State. If
vine-growing is to be made a busi
ness, the soil adapted to .the vine
may be found in nearly all parts of
the State ; but he should be his own
judge of that w hich is best. Most
of the Northern fruits, as well as
those of the South, succeed.well.
But Northern Texas is undoubtedly
best adapted to Northern fruits,
such as apples, pears, quinces, cher
ries etc., but peaches, figs, and
plums grow abundantly all over the
State. Asa general rule, the inte
rior counties are better adapted
to fruits than the coast counties,
though the tropical fruits such as
oranges, lemons and the banana, are
only grown immediately on the
coast or on the islands, and even
there they are often cut down by
severe frosts. But grapes, figs,
plums, and peaches seem to succeed
quite as well in the coast counties
as in the interior. Pecans and
hickory nuts grow’ in the greatest
abundance in all of Southern, South
western and Western Texas.
In all of my travels 1 never found
any chestnuts, nor but one poplar
and that was carried from Georgia
twenty years ago and planted in
Ilarrisson county and is considered
a great curiosity to all that see it.
There is any quantity of game
in nearly all parts of the State, and
especially Southern and Western
Texas. Ou the Prairies of the west
can be found numerous herds of
buffalos, antelopes, deer, turkey,
Prairie chickens, quails, wild pig
eons, ground hogs, Prairie dogs,
(you will eain all you kill of these
for they are very sly and scary)
hear, wolves, jagaurs, and occasion
ally panthers, and last, but by no
means least, the mule eared rabbit.
Those who wish to cultivate the
sugar-cane or sea-island cotton
should confine their search for lands
to the coast counties, or within
perhaps a distance of about fifty
miles from the coast. Sugar cane
is grown successfully some hundred
miles up the valleys of the princi
pal rivers ; but, never heard of the
sea-island cotton beiug raised suc
cessfully, except on the islands and
the mainland contiguous to the
bays.
Those who have large tamilie* of
children to raise and educate (will
give a synopsis of the public school
law at some other time) .should not
think* of embarking in stock-raising
as an exclusive business, because in
the great free stodk ranges of the
State the society is very limited
and schools and churches are few
and far between, affording a very
poor opportunity for the education
of children. But in all the farming
portions of the State, including ful
ly nine-tenths of th°. population and
wealth, churches and good common
schools are certainly fully as nu
merous aud accessible as in any of
the Western States where the pop
ulation is not more dense.
STATE OF SOCIETY.
As regards the state of society,
the moral and religious character
of the people, and the general secu
rity of life and property, I will here
venture the assei tion that the immi
grant will find nothing (except the
Radical misrule and tyrany which,
thanks to the untiring devotions of
the Democrats, are about quelled)
to object to iu Texas. I am aware
that much has been said against the
people of Texas. They have been
charged with crimes and lawless
ness unexampled in any country. —
But while I cannot claim that the
State is entirely exempt from those
frequent acts of violence and dis
orderly conduct so prevalent in
other sparely populated States, I ap
peal to every immigrant in Texas,
who has had an opportunity of
forming a correct opinion on the
subject whether he has not found
life and .property as safe here as
elsewhere, with one exception, and
that was the Grosebeck, troubles,
in Limestone and Freestone coun
ties, last year. The hero of carrion
crow Governor Davis sent his jiet
negro Melitia, from Ilarrisson and
Marion counties there to tantalize
the people. I venture to say that
there is not an impartial man in the
State—one who has not mixed him
self up with the violent partisan pol
itics of the day—who will not bear
testimony to the fact that the charg-.
es refered to are entirely unfounded.
As this is an important matter with
every immigrant, and especially
with those who have families, we
would suggest that those who have
any fears in this respect should
write to any friends or acquaint
ances they may have in Texas for
full information. If they will do
this, thay will soon be satisfied that
the report is nu unfounded slander
on the people of the State. I will
say, however, that on the frontier
frequent depredations are commit
ted by the hostile Indians, and I
would not advise any one to seek a
home among the savages.
The following is what Mr. D.
Richardson of Marshall (Harrison
county) says on this subject in his
pamphlet on Texas published in
1870.
“ The writer claims Texas as a
home, and can truthfully say, as re
gards hospitality, no section, North
or South, can beat it. (The reader
will excuse here the use of the pro
noun ; I have reference to Mr.
Richardson, as these are his words)
“ I have been here eighteen years;
have traveled over fifty-eight coun
ties in the time; have been in twen
ty-six counties since the surrender;
traveled in the years of 1859—60
about four thousand miles, most of
it in Texas, and never have lain a
single night from being turned off
or from failing to find shelter for
the night. That in all my travels
even in the wildest sections of the
State I have been unarmed, ex
cept the pse of an ordinary
pocket knife ; nor have I ever been
molested or maltreated by strangers
or acquaintances. Furthermore, I
have not, at any time, or place, un
der any circumstances whatever,
seen a man slain by his fellow-man
by any hostile or malicious action,
and but oue wounded.”
I will here say, without fear of
successful contradiction, that emi
grants from the Northern States
are more welcome here than ever
before. The emigrant will find
good neighbors, an.d high toned
moral families in all neighborhoods
in the State. No man will ask hiin
of his politics or religion unless he
moots the subject himself. But you.
need not be surprised it they ask
you, who you killed, robbed, or
whose house you burned (and espe
ciall}’ in the western part) or horse
you stole, that caused you to have
to run away from home and seek
refuge there. If they do ask those
questions keep cool and control your
anger for it will not do to get an
gry, for it might terminate unpleas
antly. They don’t mean any harm
by asking subh questions, and if
you ask them the same, they will
answer promptly. The Native
Texans are slow to take an insult
and try to avoid difficulties, bat
when once aroused you have got to
fight, or run and be branded a cow
ard, and if there is any thing they
detest it is a coward. The female
population may be honored by any
section in the Union for their vir
tuous and moral status, and com
pare favorably with any State North
or South.
COST TEAMS, FARMING IMPLE
MENTS, ETC.
The immigrant will, find that Tex
as offers remarkable advantages over
all other portions of the United
States in the cheapness with which
he can purchase all his farm stock
and work animals. Elsewhere, he
would have to pay one hundred and
fifty dollars or more for a mule,
which can be purchased almost any
where, except in Northern Texas,
for half that amount. Here, he
can get a good yoke of oxen for
thirty five or forty dollars, or if he
raises them himself, they will really
cost him nothing but tne trouble of
breaking them. Here it will take
a very small sum of money for the
•immigrant to purchase enough of
stock, cattle, sheep, hogs, etc., to
make a commencement of stock rais
ing even on a large scale, and he
can generally make that and other
purchases from his neighbors* on
credit, but I don’t advise them to
do so, hut to put up with little at
first and be independent of them
and out of debt, for it is a bad
thing for a man to get in to even
where he is known, and more espe
cially in a strange country.
WHAT IMMIGRANTS SHOULD CARRY
WITH THEM.
Immigrants should not eracum
ber then themselves with household
furniture or agricultural implements,
unless whey come with teams, and
cart carry such things without addi
tional expense. The freights they
Would have to pay would generally
amount to more than they are
worth; though fine furniture is not
often manufactured in Texas yet
such plain articles as will generally
suit tno immigrant quite as well,
and make him fully as comfoi table
are made in most parts of the State,
and will cost but a trifle. Those
that are able and desire it, can get
fine furniture in all of the principle
towns at reasonable prices, and can
provide himself with all the luxu
ries he desires, also most of the la
bor saving agricultural implements,
which are imported from the North
ern cities. The same may be said
of all such provisions, or other nec
essaries or luxuries as are not pro
duced in Texas. Numerous lines of
Steamers and Sail-vessels from all
parts ot the world bring them to
the Texas markets about as cheap
as they can be bought any where
else in the South or west.
