UKBuccresruL Ai itmpt to *Elbct a Shfriff.— ln November last an election for sheriff was ordered in Wilkerson’county. The Democratic candidate was elected by a small majority The Radical Ordinary of that county decided the election pul. aud void on account of some alleged informality, at.d ordered onother election in December. The same result attended the second race. A- third election was ordered in January and the Demo ciatic candidate was elected by over two hundred minority. The returns were sent to Governor Bullock, who wrote to the successful caudidate. required him to answer several iuterrogotarics in regard to loyalty These wore answered sat isfactorily, proving by the reconstruction acts ami act supplemental thereto, that he was quali fied, but si ill no commission has made its appear ance.— Atlanra Consttiution. The people of Baker • county are nearly in the same condition. They elected a clever young gentleman to fill the position of sheriff and the Ordinary sent up the re* turns. The Governor sent him a set of interrogatories which he fully answered, as .to loyalty, etc. Yet he has npver heard from bis commission ,V\ v hy is, this? We are afraid the Governor is too busy looking after his own interest, and that of the crew accorm* panyingliim, headed by Potash Farrow, to* care as much about the States, aud peoples interest, as be ought to. The Prospects of Crops in Mitchell, Miller, and Decatur Counties.- From all the information we can gather from the two first named counties and our own (Deoatm), the prospect op to this time for a good crop the present year is very flattering. Os course at tilts early day. no one can form any idea as to what the result will be; but experienced and intelligent farmers have told us, that they tad never • seen corn at this season of the year better than now. !n fact some go so far as to say that the stalk is stouter, and the blade is larger, than they have ever seen it before. The way ws aocount for this is, that tie planters have generally used sere tilizers, aft have been more particular than usual in having their soil well pulverized. The eoltou lands are all in good condi tion, and ready for planting. We hare no idea there will be the quautity of lands put is eotion as was first anticipated. A great many of tlie formers have planted or intend to plant a sufficient quantity of the Dickson seed this year, to make enough to plant their entire crop the next. Every one seems determined to plant less load in th« future, use fertilizers freely, and cultivate more scientifically. The colored population are generally working well. Large quantities of Peauuta, Pfeas, Sugar cane, Potatoes, Ac, will be planted. Oats are up and growing rapidly. If a kind Providence will only give os good seasons Sontbwestern Georgia, will lie all right, and Almost able to build the Bainbridge, Cutbbert & Columbus Railroad itself. A Ilorrid Murder and Ontrage. It really seems that crime is considerably on the increase both North and South. We read almost every day accounts of murders, and outrages upon females. The perpetra tor’s of the most damnable of all crimes, (vio iating the persons of females J seems to be confined almost exclusively to the colored population. In the North where negros are very few, we find it the same. ' Our own county, and those surrounding, we are happy to state, have beep compara tively free from such outrages, only one or two having been committed since the sur render and not a single case of rape that we have heard of. A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph gives the following account of a most hor rid murder hear Drayton, Ga. While traveling between Byronville and Drayton,- in Dooly county, Georgia, on Tuesday, the 23d instant, and upon comitg to the resideuce of Mrs. Moat, at six o’clock in the afternoon, I met three gentlemen of my acquaintance, two of whon\ bad guns. Upon inquiry, they informed me that they were looking- for a colored man who had out the throat of one child aud gagged another. At the residence of Mrs. Brown we learn ed that the body of the child had been found and the murderer caught. We went to the spot where the child was found Its threw*' was cut about four inches. The sight cans* ed feelings of indignation which can scarce ly be described.* 1 there met Mr. Stansel and family, who related to me the circum stances of the outrage as follows : The murdered child, M-urtha Holland, was an orphan eight years old. Her father and mother are both dead. She had been left to the fostering care of her half-broth er, Mr. John Holland, who, desiring to send her to school in'the neighboornood rather remote from where he reisded, mad< arrangements to board her with a gentle man named Holder, living about one mile from the school- house. Mr. Henry Si Ansel also sent his daughter Emma, about twelve yeftrs of age, to the same school. Emma passed Mr. Holder’s every morning and called for Martba they walked to the school together. Mr. Stansel had a negro man in his em~ ploy by the name of Needham, who worked upon a small farm pear where Mr. Stansel resides. In passing to the sehoolhonse, the lii tle girls had to go’through a long lane. Ii seems the negro had gone to a field - near by that morning, with his plow and mule, but without doing any work, waylaid’ them in D l ® comer of the feuee. This was on Tuesday morning. When. the girls ap proached, he seisted and carried them to tin woods, threatening.if they hallood he would kill them. The younger child. Martha, be ing much frightened, did halloo,- when the brutal beast stabbed it in the throat. Em ma says Martha groaned once and died im mediately. Needham then tied wrists and gagged her—putting a stick cross-wise in her mouth as far as he could and securing it in that position with a string tied to each end of the stick. After this he takes.the body of Martha— carries.it about fifty yards, where there had beep a number of pine poles cut for building a house, aud puldier body m .some of the pine tops and covei'ed it with others. He then rettpps. to Emma, and takes her (stlil tied and gagged)to within thiity yards ol where he had placed the body of Martha, to another parcel of pine tops—tied her to a sapling and covered her with other tops, in which condition she remained in inexpressi ble agony, from about eight o’clock in the morning until between four and five o’clock in the afternoon, when .she managed to pick the string to pieces with which she was tied, and though exceedingly frighten ed, fearing the demon would discover her more, yet believing it would be .death if she remained, she determined to attempt an escape, and actually succeeded in reach ing the residence of Mr. Holder with tin* gag in her mouth, wh«ch she could nrtt ex tricate until Mr. Holder cut the string and and took it from her. After this, she started for home, accom panied by one of Mr. Holder’s. Daughters, and communicated the appalling facts to her parents, and told them she knew where Martha’s body had been plced. The neighborhood was aroused, and some of the people accompanied Mr. Stan sel and daughter to the scene of the out rage, while others started out in search of Needham. It was nothing before Need ham was found, hidingjin some broom-sedge, near were he lived. He started to run, but was -overtaken and commit ted, and yesteiv dav was on his way to jail in Vienna. Emma says: that after she tied Needham returned three times, she thinks to see if she was still there. The iast time he left was about twelve or one o’clock. It was ascertained that during the after noon Needham went to one of big colored neighbors (a ditcher) to borrow q spade. The general opinion is that the use he in tended to make of the spade was to bury both victims. He probably intended to kill Emma that night, and then to bury the corpse of both the children. Emma and Martha are both of highly respectable parents and are relatives. After Needham had confessed these horrid crimes he was asked why he did it? His reply was, he did not know—only the divil got into him. Needham is a copper mulat to, about 25 years old; about fire feet eiglrt inches in height and weighs in the neigh borhood of one hundred and forty pounds. He was a man* much iflated by freedom and had a bad character for honesty- but in other respects had excited no particular notice ot apprehension. . 1 The Bainbridge, Ccthbert and Columbus Railroad. —A bill has passed the Geoigia Legislature and been signed by the Gover nor incorporating a railroad company with Hie above name. As yet our citizens have paid the subject, but little attention. Senator Bmton of Bainbridge, the origina tor and most, active supporter of the road in the Legislature, was in our office yester day. He is anxious to secure such co-oper ation as will insure the completion .of the road, and we hope his sanguine wishes may be realized, and every encouragement giv en to the enterprise. The purpose is to build a railroad from Columbus to Bainbridge a distance of some 150 miles, there to connect with the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad. This will give our city another line to Savannah, and aleo one to Brunswick.' The State has promised in the act as endorsement of its bonds to the extent of $12,000 per mile. One novel and most noticeable section provides for subsaip tions of land to the road, saidjand to herald or disposed of as may be deem* by the proper parties, and to be tax as long as the titles is held panay. This last section, wh’ % 9 ing the basis of credit, also gi JvmA l nity for many, either foriegnefr to secure excellent lands fr< State will derive no revenue* a! of taxes. Them is no reflpo per measures are grants* may not be loca the proposed rout in a M Jh| population increased wM ~-« de and i (tended road would bring a vast »ranm of business to this point* . The suldc4t should receive the earnest attention af mort ied men of this section. Cheap and abun dant transportation and a numorons popu lation will make a wealthy and prosper ous country.— Columbus Sun Times. Relief. —The Masonic virtue was never more forcibly illustrated than on one occa sion during tbo days of the misunderstand ing which occurred between our country and Fi ance early in the present century. An American ship engaged in the trade be tween N. Y and the Meditterranoan, while homeward bound, was chased for many honrs, and finally overhauled by a French corvette. Infuriated by the long chase the Yankee skipper had led them, the French-, man boarded the vessel, and proceeded with scant ceremony to dispossess her of her cargo of valuables. Descending to the cabin, followed by the Yankee captain, the "fficer in command of the enemy demanded to see the ship’s manifest, and mpidly marked off such packages as he proposed to transfer to his own ship. He then began to .rummage about the cabin, aud coining to a large trunk, that of the Yankee captain, he ordered it to be opened, and while toss ing out its contents, he came across a Mas onic apron. Instantly he arose and asked the angry American if he was a Mason. He was answered in the affirmative. A few questions and answers followed each other in quick succession, certain tokens were demanded and received, .and then the Frenchman hurried to the deck, ordered hik men to their boats, and left the Yankee to puisne his journey unmolested. As the two separated the American sailors manned the rigging and saluted their late enemy with three rousing cheers, while the band of the French ship sent, like a beinison over the waters, the inspiring strains ot “Yankee Doodle 1” Fifteenth Amendment in Indiana.—A special dispatch to the Loniville Courier •Journal, dated at Indianapolis the 24th, says fmther returns* from the special elec tion hold yesterday show ‘that, in almost every instance, the reigning members of the legislature were re-elected without op position. Senator Henry’s district was the only one in which the Radicals made a determined fight,having gerrymandered it b • the appointments of 186*1 since Mr. Hen ly s regular election, so as to cut out the Democratic counties and secure a Radical majority of about 400.. This, it was though would secure them the district at a speci al election, and acordingly they put. up their best man* Col. Asbury Steele, a pronounced advocate ot the Fifteenth amendment, and made .a distinct issue thereon, and the action of the Democrat meihbers in resigning to defeat its ratifica tion, The result was a complete triumph for Henry, he being elected" by at least 600 majority. This is the only case which can be regarded as a complete test of the sentiments of the people of the State on negro sufFragcwaud it is believed that on a square voteTt would be defeated by at least 15,000 majority, - In every county in the State many Republicans are regarded as voting with the Democrats.— Mason Telegraph. A » ■ Death on (’higni ns — False Haib—A 80. shop’s Interdiction. —The Episcopal Bishop of New Jersey it is said, has given notice i bat he will refuse at confirmation to lay his hands upon the piles of false hair and chignons which disfigure the heads of so many young ladies seeking admission to ih * church and communion. The laying on of sacred hahds at the altar, upon so much rubbish gathered from the four corners of the earth,'instead of the natural hair or head, is deemed an offence to the law and gospel of the church. We applaud the Bishdp of New Jersey for his interdiction. ■ The wearing of false hair by the women of the present age, is carried to such au extent that it may well call forth such an interdiction. It is neither useful nor ornamental, bat is positively an ugly practice. —Atlanta Intelligencer. ■■■■■■■ 1 ■ »»»■•• ■■ ■ ■ .in» v A Mammoth Ox.—The Marietta Journal says on Tuesday last-there was on exhibi tion in that city largest ox, said to be on exhibition in America.
