THE SOUTHERN SUN. Official Journal of the State and County, Largest City and County Circulation. THUMnAYTMIY 12nt, 1870. Mjaii«awMawMag> EXAGGERATIONS OF THE PRESS* It sccmejj' to be a great pleasure for some Journals lb Georgia, both Democrat ic and Republican, to publish, with considerable ombellfahmont, every ‘wild cat’ story, that Iwype— to get Into circulation, whether BHMmfcotnrcd by designing parties, or 4fa)tlated by • some ignoramus, with' OOt first ascertaining tho facts in she ease* If such a course is persisted in, it will ob> terly ruin tho influence of the press—in fact, the people have been deceived so of* tea by false statements, that to«day they kvs no more confidence in the majority of oowspaper reports than they did in the Cdtagerated reports telegraphed all over the eoantry, both North and South, immediate** If after a battle, during the late war. For f—laaCß : If the killing of a human being tehee place In the State of Georgia, wheth er ft be justifiable homicide or willful mur der, It le heralded to the world by tho Re* publican press, as another Ku klux outrage* end some Journals actually nso every effort to induce the authorities at Washington to beOere til the erroneous statements that fled their way Into newspapers; and that the whole State with the exception of a few, ete a band of assassins—’tis true atrocious murders have been committed within our State; but why make the citizens of the whole State suffer for the acts of a few lawless and unprincipled men ? Wc admit that we cannot see the object of the Repub/* llcan press, In continually alluding to these outrages, and charging them to the ‘chiv* airy* of the South, unless it is to keep open the old sores created by the Mate unpleasantness,' and perpetuate mil itary rule; While the people of the South, true to the Instincts of nature, after having ouco gone Into the contest, mourn and deplore their defeat, they are at the same time willing to 'accept the situation/ and expect to live henceforth as peaceful and law-abiding citiecns. Now let us view tho Democratic side: We see every day in various Democratic Journals, charges of corruption, &c., upon different Republican officials— somo of which, we have no doubt aro correct, while othore we know to be utterly groundless. A few editors in the State, only want to hoar a rumor that certain individuals h&vo been embezzling funds, for their ini aglnary brains to work it into a reality* and to 60 publish it to their readers, We cite to this fact, wherein Democratic Jour nals have erred; among the number of Leg islators appointed by the Senate and House of Representatives, to investigate the charges prefered dy Angler and others, against Bullock, and to look into the affairs of the State Road, arc several staunch Democrats, whoso political records are uns tarnished, and whom naught was ever said against until they were unfortunately plaw aed upon the investigating committee men* tioned; since then, (and before the invess tigation has commenced) they have all been dubbed the 'white washing committer/ and looasod by certain Democratic Journals, of 'playing into the hands of the radicals/ — Such accusations are unjust; but at the some time aro not more so, than the ma* jority of reports that cmcnato from such sources. We do say for the sake of the good law* •biding people of Georgia to stop these exaggerated, and false statements. The Georgia has done mere in a few fUODtbs In putting oar State in her present •huation, than Bullock, Blodgett & Go., oould have done in five years. If an official officer is charged with fraud we are strongly sh favor of having due investigation of his acts, by the proper parties; bat do not be* lieve in declaring a man a thief until it has been proven on him. It is unquestionably the first doty of a person who takca the position of an editor mt teacher of men, to seek to teach the truth. In private life a party may tell a malicious lie upon another, but it will prob. Ably be beard only by a few; in that case of course he commits an error, but the erp for is tea-fold worse when it appears in public print, because his statement is more extensively diffused—therefore every jourp nalist should be more guarded in his as sertions, for his influence for good, depends upon correct assertions It is necessary to havo parties in all Governments, to de» ▼olop the troth, by public discussions, and each party should strive to tell the truth end never under any circumstances, seek to hide it ‘When men becomo teachers of morals, law and government, the welfare and happiness of the human race are their clients* and they should disdain to sloop to the weak subterfuges of misrepresentation, defamation, abuse and slander, bnt ris c superior to alt unsubstantial and irration' a! expedients.’ By high, mauly and open discussion the faote aro more readily brought to light, and a better feeling between Individuals, no raattCT how much they differ rolitic&Hy. Truth was never known to urt anybody; therefore we say let all jouiv gala speak the truth no matter where the ‘shod pinches;’ thereby discharging a duty they owe to their country, their fellow tnan auu thvir God, Communicated. VISIT OF THE OAK CITY HOOK AND LADDER CO. TO SAVANNAH. Edilor Sun: As I was one of the delegation from the “Oak City Hook and Ladder Company*’that attended the Savuunah Fire Depart Parade, which took place Monday, May 2d } and thinking that probably an account of that trip would prove interesting to your many readers, I send you the following for publication: On Saturday night the 30th ult., the delegation, eleven in number, got aboard the passenger train at this place and soon were speeding away at the rate of 30 miles per hour on our way to the “Forest City” of the South. We had a jolly crowd along and our only regret was that some of the boyß had to be left behind. Under the care of that clever and polite conductor, Mr. Tom Lake, (and by the way, we had that polite “newspaper man," Gentry of the Savannah News, along) we soon reached Lawton sta tion, where we quit our end of the road and took the main line ; when nothing of note happened until we reached Jessup, where we met the Oglethorpe Steam Engine Corns pany of Savannah—they being there to welcome a company from Atlanta. After our boys had done ample justice to the in viting breakfast prepared at the Jessup House, our company was called on by the Oglethorpeß for a speech. Captain Belcher responded in a neat and appropriate ad dress aud was answered by one of the Sa vannah boys in an eloquent style. Arriving at the Depot in Savannah on Suuday morning, we met a delegation from the Metropolitan company when, in an eloquent address, one of their number bid us a hearty welcome to the festivities which called forth our visit to that city. Again Captain Lit’s eloquence was called into use in introducing the ‘Oak City’ boys to their hosts the 'Mets.’ We were then marched to that splendid institution, the Screven House, our stopping place while in the city. The next day, (Monday) took place one of the greatest and grandest parades known to the history of Georgia Firemen. At the hour of 10, the procession was formed and marched in regular order to Bay street in front of the Exchange, when the line was halted for the purpose of inspection by the Mayor and Aldermen of the city. Then was made one of the most eloquent and soul*, stirring addresses to which the writer ever had the pleasure of listening—the orator being Col. John Screven,Mayor of the City. The Col. complimented the appearance of the Savannah Department, and, in behalf of the board over which he presides with so much ability, extended a cordial welcome to the different visiting companies. At the conclusion of the Col’s remarks, a loud and continued shout cf approval was sent up by the firemen and joined in by the citizens, which was an indication of the high esteem in which ho was held by the people who had made him their chief. The procession then moved on to the place appointed for the consummation of the most important feature of the day, the place for the greatest friendly contest ever known in Georgia, to take place. Then came the time for Savannah. Charleston* Augusta, Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, and other cities to exhibit to the world the mas terial of which they are composed. And well did the representatives of those cities sustain that reputation they so nobly gain ed in tho ditches around Petersburg, At lanta and other hard-fought battle fields. I say they sustained their reputation , for Miey proved on this occasiou as they did by Allowing Bob Lee and Joe Johnston for four years, that they love the country that gave them birth; and, as they once fought to save it from the advances of the invader they are equally as eager to save from the ravages of the fire feind that little all left its once prosperous people by the misfor* tunes of a ruinous war. But the ones whom dame fortune had designated as the happy victors, were the Washingtons of Savan» nah, and the JStnas and Mechanics of Cbarlcstou. Tho time table, however, shows a record of which the less fortunate com** panies, notwithstanding the fact that they were beaten by a few seconds time, might well feel proud. At night, the Metropolitans gave a festi val at which the Bainbridge delegation were present. After we had freely partaken of the sumptuous repast—provided by the ‘Mets’for their guests—speeches were made by Gen. Lovell, Col. Capers, Robert Falli gant, Esq., and many other prominent gen*, tlemen. The Oak City delegation being called on, R. M. Johnson responded in their behalf. At the conclusion of the festivities at this place, a large crowd of firemen, ac companied by a splendid brass band, went to the Pulaski House for tire purpose of serenading Gen. John B. Gordon, the “Man of the 12th of May ” The General made a short speech in which he gave us the con* soling assurance that he “had never lost hope for Georgia.” The next day the boys were employed in looking over the city with their new made friends, the Savannah boys, until train time, when they were marched to the Depot in company with some of tho when the hurried ‘good bye* was said amid the farewell pressure of hands—tho usual ‘all aboard* announced—the shrill whistle sounded —and wo were onco again homes ward bound. Yjs, we were going homc> and while that word always sounds swee in the ear of any true-born Southron, sad indeed was the parting between the broth er firemen whose hearts were irresistibly drawn together by the knowledge of the great and praiseworthy cause in which they are enlisted, though in different fields. The Savannah firemenmay rest assured that the Cambridge boys will ever retain the fond remembrance of those few but happy hours spent in the ‘Forest City’. We arrived safely at home on Wednesday morning every one of the boys perfectly delighted with his visit, and eagerly awaits ing <he time when they can have the Sa vannah boys np here and retaliate for their unsparing kindness and hospitality to us during our pleasant stay in their midst. Hoping that a vein of affection may be ingrafted into the hearts of the Bainbridge and Savannah firemen, and that a bond of friendly feeling be instituted between them that may be severed only by eternity 7 itself I close ray account of the ever to be re membered trip of tho ‘Oak City’ boys to Savannah* #- Yours, &c., M R.

Whetmore has been removed from the Ordinary’s office of Chatham county, and A. W. Stone appointed his successor by Gen. Terry* The Savannah Republican announces the death of Mr. Francis Sorrel, which occurred in that city on Thursday morning last. Mr. Sorrel was born at San Domingo, West Indies, in the year 1193, and came to Sava annah in 1317 ; where he conducted suc cessfully the business of a commission mer chant for about 35 years, having retired from active business in 1852- Mr. Edward Padelford has given SIO,OOO to be applied to the construction of a suit able building or buildings for the aceom-' modation 'of sick, poor, aged and infirm colored people of Savannah and Chatham count\*\ Mr. Padelford lias also given $4,000 to the Episcopal Orphan’s Jlome, of Savan*- nah. Policeman J. B. Hughes, of Augusta, has been taking the impression of his boot heels on the face of Mr. Richatd Fan Dolan } of the same city. Os crop prospects in Dougherty, the Al bany News says planters are rejoicing in good stands both of corn and cotton. The Columbus Sun learns from a gentle from LaGrange that the citizens are very anxious to have railroad connection with Columbus. Mr. Ferrill promises to take $12,500 of stock and Mr. Frost a large amount. Others will give large contribu tions, and it is thought over SIIO,OOO can be raised in that vicinity for this purpose. There were two fires in Dawson not long since. No material damage was done, how* ever. Sparta has anew set of ‘city fathers/ Benzine is in great demand at Yoklosta* and dronkeness on the increase. So reports the Times. The Columbus Enquirer says that city made a very creditable show at the Louis ianna State Fair. Mr. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, a rela* tive ol Pat Walsh of the Chronicle & tinel, died’ at Aikin, S. C., on the 4th inst., of consumption. The Chronicle and Sentinel gives the fol lowing account of the arrest of Norris Terry’s sheriff of Warren county,, and the cause thereof : “On Monday night Norris was arrested by the officer in command of the United States soldiers stationed at Warrenton, on a charge of having received bribes from several citizens of the county. As soou as he was arrested he was placed in confine ment, and the case reported to Gen. Terry at Atlanta. “It is said that several citizens of the county had,.in order to avoid arrest on false grounds by the sheriff, made up a par & e ar.d given it to Norris, on condition that he would let the people alone. It is charged that Norris received the money ( and in consideration thereof proclaimed peace with the inhabitants. The bribes which he is charged with having received were large—amounting altogether to near ly, if not quite ,$“1000. About $3200 of this amount was in cash —the rest about $2500 was promissory notes given by citizens of county. “The fellow’s lust for money seems to have been insatiable, and one or two parties were bled very heavily. It is said that one planter paid him $1,500 cash, and that another gave him S?OQ cash. Rumor says that the Federal soldiers under Norris are not above suspicion, and that they only made the arrest because the affair was leaking out, and they were afraid it would be heard of at headquarters and an inves tigation ordered.” The New Bishop of Savannah.— lgnatius Per si SCO, just appointed Bishop of Savan nah, Georgia, by the Apostolic See has had a romantic history. He was born in Italy, and was consecrated Bishop of Agra, in India, about twenty«*six years ago. He remained in India sixteen years, built a cathedral, aud established religious houses, he whole of which were destroyed during the Sepoy muinty, and he was driven from hisTliocese. He brought suit against the East India Company for the damages incur® red by the destruction of the property of the Church, and recovered the sum of 90,- 000 pounds sterling. Having been driven from India, he remained in Naples eigU years, and came to South Carolina about two years ago, at the earnest solicitation of Bishop Lynch of Charleston, during which time he had charge of Catholic missions in that State. Bishop Persico succeeds Right Rev. Dr, Derot, at Savannah, who has been transferred to the new see of St. Augustine* Florida. Ex. The Young Americas, of Macon, at the Eufaula Anuual Fire Parade, threw 194 feet and 9 inches, and took the prize.
