J*IIIV TBIPI.ETr, Itliw. .Tlnn. The census gives cordclc seventeen hundred. The democrats of Dakota met at Grand Forks on the 6tli inst. and r.onfnaled a full state ticket. The state law requiring that buildings over two stories high be provided with fire escapes, is being enforced in At lanta. The Confederate Veterans' Asso ciation of Floyd county have arranged for a grand reunion and jollification to be held at the exposition grounds at Rome on August 15. All the union printers on the four daily papers in Los Angeles are on a strike. The proprietors secured enough non-union men to get out their respective papers. The first Texas bull was sold in Baltimure on the 6th for the benefit of the Texas Orphan Asylum at Houston. It was sold at auction and brought $220. Gen. Hazen lias been investigating the number of destructive tornadoes since 1S72. He finds there have been fifty-seven such In different parts of the Union up to March 57, 1890. The tornadoes occurred in twenty different states, and killed or injured 2,725 per sons and destroyed $12,470,000 worth of property. Illinois and Missouri had the greatest number of these visi tations, and the states on the Atlantic coast as a rule the fewest. The gigantic new stock yard com bine at Chicago wants the earth. It is accused of intending to lay one of its octopus arms upon every stock yard in the Union, be the same small or great. When it does, if its first work is to make beef cheaper to the con sumer and the next to make boarding house steak tenderer, we shall be pre pared to forgive it all its sins and pray for its salvation besides. Gigantic syndicates need all the prayers they can get.—Ex. In a special to the Brunswick Times from Atlauta, Mr. A. I. Brauliam says: Toi}ay I saw the text of a bill that will make a sensation in Georgia. It proposes an amendment to the State constitution absolutely prohibiting bar rooms. It is claimed that the Farm ers’ Alliance has passed the bill and that it will pass, and that the people will ratify the amendment. Circu lars favoring the bill lias been circu lated secretly all over the State. The leading liquor men of the State arc seriously alarmed. Murat Halstead, in the course of a signed editorial in the Brooklyn Stan dard-Union, says : “The election law could not do any good in the black belt, and elsewhere it would be an em barrassment rather than a facility. The republican party would be better off without it everywhere, and the solid south is not to be broken by it. As to the House of Representatives, this law would cost us several members and yield no gains.” For once Mr. Halstead is giving his party sound ad vice, and stating plain facts.—Savan nah Times. Two Henry Clays. From Macon Telegraph. It used to lie said that if there were two llonry Clays, one would elect the other President. Now there are two Henry Clays running for Congress in the Chattanooga district, and one is sure to lie elected whether hits oppon ent docs tho work for him or not. The Republicans linve put up Henry Clay Kvani, the present incumbent, and the Democrats expect to knock him out with Henry Clay Snodgrass. He might have a prettier name, but here’s to Snodgrass, anyhow. Infantry Tactics. It is well known that formally years there has been, both in and out of army circles, a wide-spread desire for a modification of “Upton’s Tactics," and it is no secret that the suicide of General Upton was largely due to his laborious and perplexing efforts to re vise his own boox and thereby save it from following the fate of Casey’s and Hardee’s tactics. Of course his sad and untimely death brought his uusat- isfaqtory work to a close, and left its completion open to the world. After some delay the war depart ment took the matter in hand and a Tactical Board of able and experienced officers was appointed, which is now in session at Fort Leavenworth, Kan sas. This board has completed the “Drill Regulations for Infantry,” and they have been officially recognized by the war department for the govern ment of infantry commands in the ser vice. The Army and Navy Register, ol Washington, D. C., a leading mili tary journal, in its issue ol August 2, begins the official publication of the new regulations, the first part being devoted to the "School ol the Soldier,” and covering over four solid pages of that paper. The object of The News in thus early calling attention to this impor tant publication is to suggest to the officers of all prize drill infantry com panies in Georgia that they write at once to the Army and Navy Register and secure copies (price ten cents each) ol the issues of that paper for August 2, and each succeeding issue until the entire series of regulations have been published. It nay prove ol vital interest to all companies entering prize drills this fall to know whether or not they are to be judged by army officers under these new drill regula tions, or, as heretofore, by Upton’s tactics. In either case the new regu lations will prove quite valuable to any officer who desires to be fully posted in tactics.—Macon News. A Letter 54 Years Old. Wliigham Advance. The original of the following letter was shown to us a few days ago, by Mr. G. B. Trulock, the president ol the AY high am Mrnufacturing Com pany. It has been well preserved, having been kept in the Trulock fami ly bible for more than half a centu ry, and shows that there was exciting times in those days: Sunday, June 12, 1836. Dear Sir:—An Express arrived at Bainbridgc yesterday stating that there was a large body of Indians on this side of the Chattahoochee river, on their way to Florida, and that a party of whites from Stewart and Sumter counties (on their way to join the army) which fell in with the Indians and was drawn into ambuscade by only a few Indians showing themselves. 27 whites were killed. There is to be a meeting in Bainbridgc to-day for the purpose of concerting some plan of safety. Capt. Lester went on yesterday evening as an express to Thomasville and to try to get Volunteers. Yours &c.. Wxt. Powell To Mr. S. H. Trulock. Daily Mail to Carrabelle. The Tallahassee postmaster has re ceived instructions from Washington to prepare for a daily mail, except .Sundays, between Tallahassee and Carrabelle. This service will begin August 18 and will include Ben Ha- den, Smith’s Creek, Sopchoppy, Craw fordvillc and Carrabelle. The mails for this route will close at the Talla hassee postoffice at 5 o’clock a. m. The Carrabelle postoffice has been made a money order office and there is a probability of a daily steamboat mail service to Apalachicola to run in connection with the daily mail service from Tallahassee. Daring the eight years of tri week ly moil service between Tallahassee and Carrabelle only two trips were missed. This speaks well for the mail contractor and carriers. The trips missed were caused by high water.— Floridian. Captain'.Wallace Butts, the veteran commander of the Baldwin Blues, ol Millcdgeville, died at his home in that city a few days ago. He lost a leg and a hand during the war. FORCE BILL CHANCES- A Claim That it Can be Passed Under the Present Rules. Washington, Aug. 6.—The force bill republicans in the Senate have been circulating the report that the force bill could be put through under a closure without changing the rules, and that all that was necessary was for the senators in charge of the bill to move the previous question on it. Senaior Edmunds was quoted as sup porting this position, and the passage ol the force bill immediately alter the tariff bill was predicted. Senaior Quay, Teller and other anti-force bill republicans say that there is nothing in this and that the bill cannot pass without a change of the rules, and that the rules arc not to be changed. Murderers Rescued. Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 6.—A special from Quincy to the I'imes- Union says : “Parties unknown broke open the jail here last night and releas ed Oldie Rice and Sam Edwards, who are charged with the murder ol Jerry Forlham in Liberty county, and were placed in the Quincy jail by the Liberty county authorities for safe keeping. Edwards and Rice arc well connected, and as the evidence is very strong against them it is generally believed that their friends released them.” President Polk in Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 6.—In the state farmers’ alliance convention here to day Col. D. L. Polk, president of the national farmers’ alliance, made an address in which he said the demo cratic and republican parlies were both side issues when compared to the alliance. The state alliance to-night is having heated debate on the adoption ol the St. Louis resolutions. Rewarding the Colored Brother.
