BAIACRIDCE.
In our last issue we noticed the presence,
in our midst of our friend Mr. E. H. Grou
by of the Early County News —we maka
some extracts from an article which ap=
peared in his issue of the 12th in9t. He
speaks of Bainbridge and its citizens in
the following complimentary style :
We had the pleasure of a couple of days
stay in the “Oak City” of South Western
Georgia last week. Bainbridge, the count*
fy site pf Decatur county, situated at the
head of low water navigation on the Flint,
and the terminus of the Atlantic & Gulf
Railroad, is a flourishing young City of
some 3,500 inhabitants, 40 or 50 business
houses, and dwellings in proportion, arid is
still growing very rapidly, and daily’ in
creasing its already very large commercial
business. Quite a number of roomy and
handsome business houses have recently
been creeled, and several others are going
I op, which will soon be completed. By do*
| ing a little repairing to their public build—
j tugs, streets, sidewalks, and removing the
I rubbish from the public square, all of which
I seemed t*> ns to be very much needed, the
] Bninbridgeiles would have every appears
mice of a real live, wide-awake, go-ahead
City.
The rubbish you speak of Bro. Groubv
is material which is being used in complex
ting the interior of some of the new build*
iijgs, and will bo removed as soon as the
work is finished. *
Its people are energetic, kind, hospitable
and generous—the ladies are pretty, re*
fined, intelligent and the best lot of “rebels”
we ever had the pleasure of meeting up
with. Its churches and schools are in a
flourishing condition jits cemetery is neat
ly kept, and the very beautiful monuments
erected, together with the flowers and
shrubbery planted over and around the
graves of its dwad, shows that their memo
ry still lingers with the living.
*******
A general go-aheadativeness aud cordis
ality seems to possess alike stranger and
friend, for in no place have we ever met a
more genefrous, courteous and spirited
public. With pleasure we shall long re«
member our snort two days in Bainbridge.
In conclusion, we hope ere long to take
our “knitting” and renew our visit for a
week—until then, with our good % ill for
our presence, friends of Bainbridge, we bid
you adieu.
We are very glad to know that you
formed such a favorable opinion of our lit -
city Bro. Grouby, and that you enjoyed
yourself “hugely we also thank you for
the praise you have Been fit to bestow upon
our citizens, and hope you will comply with
your promise arid soon pay us another
visit, and rest assured you will meet with
a hearty welcome.
INDUCEMENTS TO SUBSCRI
BERS.
In order to give subscribers a sufficient
amount of reading matter pertaining to
Agricultural affairs and the Management
of stock, we have made with N. P. Boyer
& Cos., publishers of the American Stock
Journal, which is one of the best conduct
ed journals in the United States, to furnish
the Sun and Journal to all new subscribers
who pay in advance, at Hhe low price of
$2.15 per year. The Journal itself is worth
to any farmer twice the amount he pays
for both.

FORNEY ON THE WAY TO MA
CON FAIR.
The telegrams announce the important
intelligence that John. W. Forney of the,
“Two papers, both daily,” has been safely
landed in Atlanta. With the exception of
beast Butler, he is the most notorious
scoundrel and slanderer of our people un
hung. We hope however that while he
is here he will be treated kindly, and cour
teously Let us show him, that we have
magnanimity enough to treat our avowed
enemies with courtesy. The Good Book
admonishes us, that the sure way to heap
coals ol lire upon an enemies head, is to
return “good for evil.”
We must confess in his case, it will be
pretty much like the dntohman getting to
heaven. “A d—nd tight squeze,” to do so.
The Jefferson (Texas) PRisoNERR—The
Findings and Sentences. —The findings and
sentences in the cases of the Jefferson prig*
oners have at length been made public, and
we are enabled to present the same to our
readers in this issue. It will he remcm*
bored that twenty-three persons in all—
twenty-one citizens and two negroes—were
! tried before the military commission, and
in these cases the decisions respectively are
as follows : Richard P. Crump, William
11. Maglll, Mark H. Joplin, Silas H. Nance,
John C. Murphy, Jr., Ilenry A. Steally,
Walter L. Marshall, John M. Vines, Wil
liam A. Hightower, David E. Carpenter,
Richard Batte, Win. D. Hannegau, Henry
M. Woodsmall, Wes. L. Crawford, Horatio
N. Geer, citizens, and Nathaniel McCoy,
and Richard Davis, negroes, are found “not
guilty” on all the charges and specifica
tions, and ordered by Gen. Reynolds to be
discharged ; though in the cases of Messrs.
Crump, Joplin, Hightower and Geer, the
commandant says he is “unable to approve
of the findings which acquit these persons
of all complicity in the offences with which
they are charged.”
Ludwig P. AI lord, George Gray and Os
car Gray, the commission find guilty of
murder in the first degree, and sentence
the said parties “to be confined for the pe
riod of their natural lives, at such place as
the proper authorities may direct.” John
A. Kiclnrdson. Matthew D. Taylor and
Charles A. Pitcher are found “guilty of
conspiracy feloniously and of malice afore
thought to kill and murder citizens,” and
are sentenced “to be confined for the period
of four years, at such place as the proper
authority may -direct.” All these findings
and sentences Gen. Reynolds finds himself
quite able to approve, and designates the
penitentiary at Huntsville, Texas, as the
place of confinement, “to wliich the priso
ners will be sent under a suitable guard.”
As this order bears date on the 21 of
this month, the victims of martial law Pave
long ere this been incarcerated within tire
walls of the penitentiary. They are in for
life, reads the sentence, but unless they are
of very weekly constitutions, it is likely
that ihey will see, long before their terms
of sentence expires, a civil government in
Texas and in the country at targe, before
which military commissions and their
makers aliku will be compelled to pale
heir ineffectual fires. — G <i! restart News.
Negro Accidentally Shot.— Mr. A. J. Mc-
Alister, of Atlauta, was arrested and
brought before Justice Schofiel 1 yesterday,
on a charge of assault with intent to mur
der one Isaac Brown, a colored mam near
the Fait Grouuds on Sunday last. He had
shot Isaac in the hip, inflicting a sev •
but not necessarily fatal wound ;.e
waived examination and gave bond forms
appearance at the next term of the fcmnei tot
Court. Sheriff Martin made the affidavit
on which the warrant was issued for Mc-
Alister’s arrest, and Judge 0. A. Lochraue
was retained as counsel for the deience.
We have been informed that the shooting
was accident, and tnat no one appears to
regret the accident move than Mr. Ale Alls—
ter, and he manifests his regret by paying
Isaac’s doefor'bills and furnishing money
for other attentions which be requires.—

A Summary of Mr. Peabody's Benefac
tions. —The following summary of his ben
efactions is the best and most eloquent
eulogy that we can pronounce upon his
life :
To the Institute at Baltimore, $1.400, 900
To the Institute at Danvers, 200,000
To the poor of London, 1,750,000
To the Southern Educational
Fund, 2,500,000
To Harvard University, 150,000
To Yale College, 150,000
To Washington College, 60,000
To other objects, 386,000
Making a total of $6,596,000
To this amount fehotild be added the
princely fortune of $1,400,000, which was
distributed among his relatives during his
second visit to the United States, making
,a grand total of $7,998,000 distributed by
him during his lifetime in amounts of no
ticeable size. While so. free and open -
handed in his public benefactions, however,
in private charities he was for outdone by
others. He appeared to regard himself as
the trustee of an immense fund for the ben**
efit of common humanity, but chose to be*
stow his charity in a way that would bring
forth great and noticeable results ; and
conscious that he did his full duty in this
respect, left to others of different tempera
ment the alleviation of individual cases of
suffering and distress.

Legal Advertising. —Mr. Peyton was per
mitted to introduce a bill to protect editors

bill provides that in all suits in any of the
Courts in the course of the administration
of insolvent estates, in which it may be
necessary to make publication or give no
tice by advertisement in newspapers, the
printer’s fees shall be paid in adyanee.
Passed the first reading and refered to the

miles from this city on the Daleville road.
One of them is so terribly injured that it
is doubtful whether she will recover from
her injuries. The negro was .traced to this
city, and arrested this morning. Quite a
crowd of his colored brethren have gath

pathizing with him. He will bejearried be«

A delegationYof prominent Canadians,
favorable to annexation, called at the W bite
House yesterday, and had an interview
with the President. They represent that
a large portion of the people of Canada ate
anxious to join their fortunes to those of
the United States- Another scheme for
continuance of radical power. It makes
little difference whether it is Canada or
San Domingo, whether the representatives
are white or black, whether it is beneficial
tb ns as a nation, or what the cost is, it
gives to the Radical party more Senators
and Congressmen, and that is all that is
cared for. This session of Congress will
be rife with plans to bolster up by legis
lation the fast decaying power of the Rad
ical party, and nothing wyi be left undone
to so secure the Senate that they will have
a majority for years to come. If the elec
tions about to take place in iexas can be
carried by force or fraud, the State will be
divided into two or more States, for the
purpose of gaming Radical Senators, dhe
same plan will be tried with Georgia.
It is stated upon good authority that
Attorney General Hoar will be shelved by
his acceptance of the vacant seat on .4he
bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States. A relative of General Grant, Judge
McKennon, of Pitsburg, is spoken of as
Hoar’s successor. Judge Peireponi, of
New-York, is also mentioned. Peirepont
is o 'the Sir. Pertinax McSycophaut school
of politician, and has ingretialed himself
into the good graces of o£ Ulysses by
several huge doses of disgusting flattery
mingled with the allusions to the second
term of the present immaculate incumbent.
I think the bend of the back, the supple*
ness of the knees, and the soft-soap of the
New York McKjcophant will win the
place:
The capitalists in this city, notwithstand
ing the disgraceful tyrany, fraud and cor®
ruption practiced by Mayor Bowen and
those in power, seem to have faith iu the per
manence of the* capital, the best evidence
of which is to be found in the substantial
and costly private improvements that have
been made here during the past eight
months, the finest of which is an immence
brown-stone hotel erected by YV. W, Cor.*
coran, Esq:, on Yermobt Avenue, nearly
opposite the Presidential Mansion. Ihe
hotel is built on the most approved plan,
containing all the modern convenience*, in
fact, everything that will conduce to com
fort'and luxury. It is called the Arlington
House, after the estate owned and occupied
by Gen. Robert E. Lee (the great confede
rate chieftan) prior to the war, which is
situated on the heights overlooking tho
city, on the other side of tire Potomac.
the Currency Printing Bureau received
only a small amount of currency to day

At tho Cabinet meeting today the Secret

Compound Unction.
For Boots, S’ ocs,
The public have long wanted a preparation so
oiling Boots, Shoes, Harness and Leather which
would not prevent a snmothe, brilliant polish bj
blacking immediately afterwards, and not destroy
she strength and fibres of of the seather. This
wonderful compound supplies that want in every
respect. It contains several ingredients, each of
which renders Boots. Shoes. Harness and Leather
pliant, soft, flexible, lively, strong and durable.
The inventor, after a long experience and an
infinitude of experiments, has discovered that, by
ccmpounding these saveial ingredients, the Boots,
Shoes, Harness or Leather that it is applied to will
