The John nilcliell Case.
Gen. John A. Dix, charged by Mr. John
feitcheU with false imprisonment, has let
tbs cst out of the wallet in preparing his
defence. It scorns that the arrest was made
by order of Unit Silly Grant, now supposed
President, and reads as follows :
By govci nment telegraph, in cipher dated
Washington, June 6, 1869
Major General John A. Dix, New York ;
Have John Mitchell, formerly editor of
(he Richmond Enquirer, arrested and sent
to Monroe, Virginia, for confinement and
trial. Make the arrangements for his im
mediate shipment before arrested, and give
this matter in charge of a discreet officer
who will not let it get out that the arrest
is to be made until he has his man.
(Signed,) U. S. Grant.
Should the law be fairly, and righteously
administered, Dix will learn to his sorrow
that snch a defence will be of no force.

Newspaper Spongers. — An exchange well
says there are many persons who either
take no paper at all, or else take one from
a distant city, and when they wish to see
what is transpiring in their own neighbor
hood, they beg or steal the local paper from
some citizen more liberal than themselves.
Many men «>f this kind are engaged in bus

they practice the vety thing of which they
complain.

Si*: Io reply to your note of the 16tb
iut., this, the rnles for the management, of
tfee Fair in November, will be adopted and
Widely circulated by the Executive Com
mittee, which meets here the Ith of Octo*
ber next.
It is probable that the following regular
lions will be adopted in relation to the
mattsr to which you refer, t<»ewit,
‘ The membera of Comity or Local agri*
cultural societies, regularly appointed nns
dor certificates of their President and Se
cretary or who come as a Society and in a
body and camp on the ground, will be
furnished with a ticket which will permit
them ingress or egress of the grounds
Without charge. Such members .contend -
ing Tor premiums will pay the nsdal fee of
two dollars, I wilt send all the Society,
copies of the revised regulations,
I hope yonr Society will do as the Ran
dolph cmmty Society has done. They met
last Saturday to appoint a delegation of
ten to the Fair, ami finally residved that
the whole Cinb should go. ,
If tiro county societies will follow the
example of Randolph, they can hold ate*
ecmblies and discussions at night on the
Fair Ground vastly to their own enjoy
ment and edification. What do you say?
Very respectfully,

Iluld ¥*nr toilna.
A gentleman Just retained from New 4
York, who has badgreat experience as a
cotton buyei, a|i sps mally done nothing
else since tljp war wised, informed ns yes>
terday tha**tbe%tanter» of *be Sonfth were
now plaving into the hands of speculators
most admirably, in rushing their cotton <>n
the market. It was just what the New
York buyers and speculators wanted. Three
weeks ago cotton was firm in New York
at 35 cents per pound, but just so soon as
the planters got ready to sell, the price
immediately receded to 29 and 30 cents,
with a strong effort on the part of the bears
to still further reduce it. Our friend stated
that theTe was not a cotton buyer in New
York, ot syiy intelligence or reliability,
Wfitroow liol lielieve that cotton will go
to 35 or 40 eents per pound in that market,
by or before the first of next May, and they
candidly and openly express such an opine
ion among themselves; and are laughing in
their sleeves at the rush the planters are
now malting npon the market. Just so
soon as the bulk of the cotton crop is out
of the hands of piauters and a close guess
can be made of the year’s crop, then you
will see a reaction in the price that will ass
toiiish you, Our friend expressed real
mortification and shame at the maimer in
which the ; planters were blindly injuring
themselves just now, and expressed thr
belief that even before Christinas thej
would rne their present suicidal policy.
We have the foregoing from agent I man
who knows, perhaps, as much about cottor
and the cotton market as any gentleman in
Geoagia; one who is familiar with the pre-.
sent animus of New York speculators, and
knows precisely what their game is, and
we give his views and advice as worth
something.
We copy the above from the Macon Tel
egraph, in order that onr planting friends
may see and fully understand this, not the
first by any means, foul scheme on the part
of Northern speculators, to grow rich at
the expense of the Southern planter, if is
extremely foolish, to say the least of it, for
the farmers to rush their cotton on a de
pressed market, when it is so plain to
every sensible thinking person, that they
can, by holding back for a short time,* get
a much better price for it. Then planters
look to your interest— hold your cotton —let
the New England schemers know that you
fully understand the : r motives and that yon
intend to fortify yourselves aga’nst them,
our word for it, affairs will take a consid
erable change. „ -
You have the cotton—they want it, they
are compelled to have it— they will have it!
consequently by giving them to understand
that yon have become tired of being used
as tools for their benefit, and are determin
ed to have the full value of your produce,
they will very soon come to terms and tire
Southern planter will be master of the sit-'
CALHOUN COUNTY.
Last week we attended the Superior
Court of this county.
Our efficient Judge was there on time.
We were very much pleased to hear him,
in his able charge to ihe Grand Jury, al
lude to the Jill-absorbing subject of rail*
roads.
After dwelling upon tlieir important ben
efits to our whole country ; he spoke of ‘he
contemplated road from this point to Cu-
IntrbuM and urged upon them and the cit
izens, the necessity of building it and free
ly contributing their mite towards all en
terprises of like chaiacter. He said: “It
is not a mere question of dividends—it may
never pay one dollar in dividends—but, it is
in ihe increased value of your lands that
yon are to look for renumeration ; and in
giving you facilities to get your products
to market.
Open up your country by railroads and
emigrants will flock to it—the value of
your lauds will increase—and the cost of
getting your productions to market will be
greatly diminished
In every part of the State where there are
railroads, property is advancing. In my
own county, “Sumpter,” lands are bringing
from fifteen to twenty dollars per acre. If
therefore, you waut youi property to in
crease build railroads.”
We indorse every word of- that. It is
sound and true, all of it. Will the people
heed it.
In attendance npon the Court were a
large uotnber of legal ge.itletreu. Two, to
every new case on the docket.
Pleased were we to meet the local mem
bers qf the bar, Messrs. Dun, Wooten Beck,
and Munroe, in good health, who, by the
way, were the most elegantly dressed gen
tlemen we havtyteen since ante bt/lvm days.
Law is flwarishinjg there, or fire one.
The Court House under the direction of
the Ordinary, Judge Wooten has received
anew Less of paint and presents a hand
some appearance.
The cotton crop has been greatly injnred
by the rust, boll .worm afin catterpillar.-
The most of it is now open and by Novem
ber will, be gatheied.
The potato, cane and pea crop has been
totally destroyed by the long drouth.
Whilst there we had the pleasure of meet
ing onr genial cotempmary E. H. Giouliy,
ol the Early County News. He was in fine
health and spirits—a little. May his ''shad
ow never grow lees,” nor his spirits weaker
Fire In Baker County- —The gin-honse of
Mr. Tom. Pierce was destroyed by fire on
Monday last. Nine or ten bales of cotton
were litmit up in it.
The fire was caused, it is supposed, by
friction.

7b the'Sheriff, or his Lawful Deputy of Bibb County:
Whereas, At the May Term, A. D., 1869, of the
Superior Court held in and for the county of Bibb,
Henrietta Greer was tried for and convicted of the
crime of murder, and was therefoie sentenced by
the Judge presiding at said Court, to be hanged by
the neck until dead, on the 23d day of July there
after ; and
Whereas, The said Henrietta Greer bar been re
prieved until the 17th day of September instant
upon the representations of her attorney and other
respectable citizens, and to the end that the testimo
ny, acts, and circumstances produced upon her
trial, might receive a thorough and careful inves
tigation : and
Whereas, tTpon examination of the record in said
case, it appears that the testimony against the
condemned was wholly ciicumstantial, and that
her conviction was founded upon her confessions,
which confessions, when taken together, are con
tradictory, and evince the influence of fear, and
mental imbecility ; and
Whereas, The perfect social intimacy of the con
demne.d with the deceased precludes the probability
of any malice aforethought, raised a strong pre
sumption that the blow* which resulted in death
were struck in the heat of passion ; aui
Whereas. It has been made known to me that
the condemned wis brought t>* trial when the pub.
lie mind was much excited, and the pressure of pub
lic opinion for conviction wu* great, and in addi
tion to the fact that the counsel appointed to de
fend the suiil Henrietta Greer, at the time of her
trial is said to have been young and itrexperienced.
and failed to present the evidence L> its proper
bearit g to the jmy “.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the facts and
circumstances aforesaid, and to the end, that im
partial justice may be done, I, Rufus B* Bullock,
Governor and Cominander-in-Chief of the Army
and Navy of this State, and of the Militia thereof,
by virtue of the power and authority in me vested
by the Constitution and laws of this State, do here
by commute the said sentence of capital punish
ment, so passed upon the s:iid Henrietta Greer as
aforesaid to imprisonment in the Penitentiary of
this State for and during her uatural life ;
And it is hereby ordered that the Principal Keep
er of said Penitentiary forthwith cause the said
Henrietta Greer to be conveyed to and confined in
said Penitentiary, in pursuance of, and in compli
ance with, the commuted sentence aforesaid.
