Letter of a Suicide—Hon Elijah Hi so, of Kentucky, Blows His Brains Out. The telagraph has announced the ■ death, by suicide, of Hon. Elijah Hise. of Kentucky, who had just b.»en elec, ted to represent bis district in the Fortieth Congress, by a majority of 6,000 votes. No one, not even his family or most intimate friends, bus pected his purpose, although it seems to have been settled in his own mind for weeks. The deed was done on the Bth inst.,at his home in Russelville. — A letter to the Courier, dated the 9th, says ; On yesterday he left my office after a short conversation and w:nt imme diately home, not distant more than a hundred yards.. In half an hour the report reached me he had shot him self. 1 hurried down and found the report too true. He had lashed a couple of eight inch rifled pistols to gether, and standing before a large sized mirror, had discharged both through his brain, immediately over the eyebrows. The whole top of his head was blown completely off. Upon a small table, immediately in front of him, was found the enclosed manuscript (a minute copy of which I send). From this it appears that the condition of the cduntry bore to such I an extent upon his mind as to render death preferable, lie has also been suffering fur some months under dia betes null it us, which contributed, in a great degree, no doubt, to bis despon dency. He was six-tyfivc years of age, July 4th, 1866. You will perceive, froia the date of his article, that he has contemplated the act some weeks I believe you now have all the facts, and you can write such an article as you may be inclined. A COPY OF THE NOTE IN JUDGE Hise’s HANDWRITING, FOUND ON HIS TABLE. I have lost all hope of being able to aid in saving the country from the im pending disasters and ruin in which despotic and unconstitutional rule has involved her. 1 have been brought into the public service at an age too advanced, and at a period too late to allow me even to hope that I ean do anything in aid of the restoration of constitutional government, even if ad> mitted to a seat in Congress, which, it is said, would be refused. I am enfeebled by the infirmities of age and by disease. lam weary of the world and intend to leave it. I aui sick at heart and resort to death for relief. I shall leave a poor, afflic ted wife and kind relatives and friends, none of whom have any knowledge of my purpose. 1 have kept my intent to seek death, for relief from the sor rows that afflict me, a secret from all I do not think even a- suspicion of it exists in the minds of either wife, kin dred or friends.

Yesterday evening, about dark, oc curred one of those terrible accidents, which causes the heart’to sicken ip sorrow, at its recital, which has thrown a happy household into speechless agony, and has enshrouded in gloom, the feelings of an entire community. Mr. John P. Jordan, the worthy and estimable Sheriff of this county, had just returned home, about two miles West of this place, after several weeks absence, having been detained, -on his return by a fearful storm at sea, and was. receiving the greetings of overjoyed hearts, when a terrific ex plosion and the screams of children, announced the sad and awful accident, related below, as accurately as can be ascertained: . j Miss Mary Jordan, aged about 12 years, daughter of Mr. John P. Jordan, Miss Ellen Gunn, her first cousin, aged 13 years, daughter of Mr. \V. H. Gunn, Clerk of Liberty county, and a colored girl of about the same age, were at the door of a closet opening on the back piazza, pouring Kerosene oil from a gallon can, into what is called a feeder can. The colored girl held a small torch light. It is supposed, the gas from the large oil can oommunicn ted with the light, and immediately the explosion took place, saturating with oil the clothing of the children,* and enveloping them in flames. In a few minutes they were burned into a crisp, and this morning, between 7 and 8 o’clock, retaining perfect con ciousness to the last moment, though in great suffering, and expressing a willingness to die, the pure and sinless spirits of these two lovely and interest ing children, the adored at home, and the beloved of associates, winged their eternal flight: This is one of the sad dest events that the pen is ever cal'ed upon to record. The colored girl was alive, at the latest accounts, though beyond all hopes of recovery. The hands and awns of Mr. Jordan, were badly burned, in endeavoring to extinguish the flames.—.Quiney\Com ■monwealth. Kelly, (he Radical Missionary.- We learn, from the New Era, that ‘ this distinguished jurist and statesman ’’ will visit Atlanta and address the peo ple, Monday next; and furthermore, that a meeting ol citizens has been held “to make arrangements for his reception and for public speaking.” Who doubts the hospitality of At lanta ? Who will say that friend Bard, of the Era,is not the best-hearted man io the wo6d ? Why, if the d—l him self should come along, he would bid “his Royal Highness’’ cordial welcome and move the appointment of a com mittee (and he’d get it too) to “ten der him the hospitalities of the city!” —Macon Telegraph. Hontljern (Interpose (SEMI-WEEKLY.) L. C- BBYAN, : : « : Editor. THOMASVILLE, GA-: TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1867: RELIGIOUS UNION. The Conference of the Protestant Methodists at Montgomery, has ad journed to hold i*s next session at Macon, in 1868. ’flic negotiations bo-, tween them and the Episcopal Metho dists, for a reunion, were not success ful. No insuperable obstacle seems to have presented itself, but neither party seemed disposed to make an easy surrender. They understand each other, however, and the best of feelings exist between them, so that we may expect further efforts, and a final reunion of these two Churches. LA CROSS DEMOCRAT. Tl.is is the title of “ Brick Pome roy's ’’ paper,-published at La Cross, in the State of \\ isconsin. Our read ers have all beard of “ Brick Pome roy,” and many of them arc as familiar with his writings, as with tho-e of our own “ Bill Arp." Nobody' has for gotten his lulminations against “Beast Butler,” nor how that “seven headed’’ and “ten horned’’ animal writhed un-- der “ Brick’s ” dagger strokes on the war. In fact, “Brick” is the Demo> cratic champion of the Northwest, wields liis pen as a two-edged sword, slays everything- before him, and ev ery effort to frighten him with threats of suits for libel, treason, disloyalty, &e , have proved utterly fruitless; and safe within the pale of a State not proscribed by the Sherman Bill, he triumphantly proclaims the truth, and the Constitution,and hurls in the teeth of the Radicals the sins and iniquities they have committed, blackened with the infamy of their crimes or dyed red with the blood of their victims. “ Brick ” is engaged in a good cause and is figl ting a giant battle for the South. He unhesitatingly seizes ev ery missile within his reach, and hurls with unerring Vigor at his foes. He has, like Leonidas, taken his stand at Thermopal*, (in the Northwest) re solved to stay the tide which threatens the destruction of his country, or per ish upon its desecrated altars. In so noble a cause he should have the en couragement of his friends in the South. If we cannot give him the aid of a strong arm, v e can give lmn the aid of. a strong purse. Let his papey be circulated throughout the country. In his recent trip through the South, he added 10,00 u to the list of his sub scribers—let 10,000 more be added, to enable him to send his paper to' thousands in the North without charge. \J iltn* ojurn* ui-uut {ftr «* Constitution and the country, and will f redound to the permanent political good of the South. “ Brick’s ’’ daily paper is $lO and his weekly S2. The latter is a small amount, and will suit the condition of those living at a d's tance from the Post Office'. AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST We acknowledge receipt of the May number of this old established and de servedly popular work on agriculture. The information h contains for tiro Farm, Garden and Household, is of the most Valuable character, and should recommend it to every agriculturist in the country. If those,greenhorns throughout the country, who suppoit the Northern “ffift Put-rjrrises," Lot tcrics, and other humbugs, would spend •$1 50 for the American Agriculturist, they would not only get the value of their money, but they would also find all their precious humbug Lotteries and Gift Enterprises, stripped entirely naked of their charitable cloaks, and all their hypocricy, deceit, covert and open li'eing, exposed to full view. The American Agriculturist endeavors to guard the unwary against the evil ma chinations of these col-1 bloolcd, hy pocritical liars, by showing them up monthly, and if this was its only merit, it would be enough to make it ever dea • to the hearts of the good people of the country. Mobile Riot —Fivo men were killed and many others wounded. A dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer, (Yankee) says, “ an attack Was n.adu on Kelly,” the Radical emissary, ami that “about a dozen shots were fired at the stand,” —great confus on then prevailed, during which Kelly made his escape unharmed. Kelly has suc ceeded in getting up a senkatiou that will be a God send to Thad. Stevens, Philips, Sumner & Cos., conyng as it does so opportunely in a season of drouth. The same dispatch says, Se nutor Wilson arrived in Mobile, but. declined to speak, and passed on to New Orleans. Mr. Wilson could not face a city where tho bold J uilee, , Kelly was driven from the rostrum, fdr even he seems to have lost his courage, and declined even tho guaranty of tho military that he should speak under their protection. The city of Mobile disavows the outragos of t lie mob, and we have no doubt that tlie whole af fair was gotten up by Radicals to pro duce a season of refresh inert to tho waning party North. What do thrfy care for the death of a few negroes or Southern whites? They can now es tablish a lie, that it is not safe for a Northern man to speak in tho South. Washington dispatches state that Attorney General Stanberry holds the removal of civil officers by the military commanders in the Southern States to be illegal, except in eases where such officers attempt to obstruct the execution of the law. DULL TIMES IN &A VANN AH. The Republican of the 20th, says : “We take a look back at the past week, and dullness is written everywhere, excepting at the Market on Saturday. The depression is terrific, idlers saun tcrslowly up and down-the thorough fares, passing away the time in com pany with mint juleps and other de ceptive mixtures, perspiring peripa tetic locals may be seen here, there and everywhere, searching out some thing that never happened, or enlarg ing on something that has : the labor, ing classes especially feel the general dearth,’’ &o. STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING.' The following resolutions were adop ted by the Stockholders ,of the Atlan tic & Gulf llailroad, at their recent meeting in Savannah : Whereas, The great importance of the extension of the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad to Bairibridgc has been fully set forth, and is unanimously acknowl edged by all concerned ; and. * Whereas, The citizens of Bain bridge and of Decatur county, in their corpo rate and individual capacities, have subscribed one hundred and fifty thou sand dollars towards the project, and now call upon the remaining stock holders of the road, rnd the citizens of Savannah, engaged in the great and growing trade of Southwestern Geor gia and the adjacent portions of Flo rida. and Alabama, to aid them in se curing the success of the enterprise. Resolved, That it is the duty of ev ery stock holder, and of every citizen interested in the enterprise, to sub scribe to the proposed extension every dollar that he or she can raise. Resolved, That as an inducement for such subscription, the stock so ta ken, and to be taken, shall bo consid ered and classed as preferred stock, and that a dividertd of seven per ctJftt p"r annum shall be paid out of the first net profits of the road, and so to be continued. Resolved, That the payment of this ■subscription shall be in five monthly instalments of twenty per cent, com mencing on the first dgy of November next, and that all cash subscribers shall be entitled to receive bonds bear ing seven per cent, per annum, paya ble in years, or preferred stock, at their option upon the payment of the last instalment of the said prefer red stock, with the privilege of merg ing into the general stock of the Com pany at the option of the subscribers. 83?* “Cato,” a correspondent of the Macon Telegraph, in an article justi fying Gov. Jenkins in his recent ap« neal to the Supreme Couit, for protec tion against the Military bill, concludes his article sensibly os follow*: “And, above ad, let our people treat the colored race with that kindness rnd justice that will always secure their confidence and esteem. Then, \ i4 - L -viu-Uinery or oausti turion and laws. Jet the good of the colored people as well as the whites be faithfully consumed. With these great printiples as our chart and compass, the new order of things will be a hap py one. After all the colored people in this matter of voting will look to their interest, and that will lead ilu-m tooo-op-.ration with their white friend?. For a time they may be led off, or at least a portion of them, by wicked and designing men ; but there are-oertain 1 greut truths that cannot be lung sub verted, which wiTl inevitably draw them back to duty. Among these great truths are the following • Ist. That the interest apd destiny of the two races in the South are bound up together. 2d. That, in Georgia the white vo. tors exceed the colored by 20,0U0, and that any attempt at the latter to set up for themselves, would only result to their injury. 3d. Thai slavery is dead and for ever liuricd out of sight, and nobody desires to rev ve it. 4ih. That the universal feeling of all parties and classes now towards the Cukrod people is one ol congratulation on their cnlranel iacment, and earnest desire to elevate and improve them. Any enrolling of themselves therefore under tho transient and fluctuating banners of partizans or demagogues, would be exceedingly unwise and dan gerous. lly their good conduct, mod. oration ami prudence, our colored peo ple will securely anchor themselves iu ! the haven of Liberty and Law. Methodist I'rotrstanl (lanoral Con j rent ion. —This body, which' assembled at Montgomery, A'abunia, last week, was largely attended. It was organ ized by electing Rev. J. J. Murray, of Maryland, to tho office of President; [ Charles W. Button, of Virginia', prin cipal, and Rev. F. 11. M. Henderson assistant secretary. Afier tho appointment of commit tees, Rev. 8. lv Cox introduced to the Conference Bishop Pierce, Bishop Mo.- Tyeire, Rev. Dr. L. Mi Lee and Rev. I J. E. Evans, us commissioners from ! the Methodist Episcopal Church South l to confer with this Convention on im ] poitant business. They were kindly received and welcomed within the bar of the Convention by the president pro tent. Bishop Pierce presented a letter utid documents explanatory of their missien in the hands of the president: The letter was read by the .secretary. Bishop Pierce then ml dressed the i convention, with characteristic elo quence, on the subject of the union of tho two churches. He was followed by Bi hop McTyoiro and Ur. Lcc.-- Tbe message was finally concluded by a hearty endorsement of the sentiments expressed in the person ol Rev. J. E. Evans. A resolution introduced by Rev. 8. K. Cox, reciprocating the brotherly love and Christian courte-y of the commissioners and providing for the appointment nf a commission to confer with them, was almost unanimously passed. WatifThe Supreme Court, during the sessipn just closed, disposed of two hundred cases, leaving two hundred and fifty on the docket. It, is a matter of comment that the Court recognized Texas as a State of the Upton in grant ing injunction against the payment of the indemnity bonds, obtained flora her during the rebellion. The Justices who were equally divi drd on the motion to amemPtbe Mis sissippi bill -were Chase ; Wayne, Nel son, tlifford, Swain, Miller, Davis and Field. Justice Grier left before the Court acted on the notion. With the dismission of the cases, the subpoenas issued under them failed. SSrThe reserve of M r Davis meets with earnest applause from his friends. Since his release he has repelled as personally obtrusive anything like a demonstration, though he has received his friends cordially, and conducts himself in all respects with the quiet dignity of a private gentleman. The merchant prince, Stewart, of New York, returns 880,000 income this year; UJaiiYi. 8150,000. Both returned over a million of income last year. These merchants have sold more goods this year than during any year before. Their losses are not at tributable to lad debts. Value of Paper Dollars. —The fol lowing calculation will be found con venient for those who deal occasional in gold, ard will be found valuable for reference. When gold is quoted at SI 10, a pa per dollar is worth 91 cents nearly. When cold is quoted at $1 15, a paper dollar is worth 87 cents nearly. When gold is quoted at SI 20, a pa per dollar is worth 83 cents. When gold is quoted at.

SSF'It is said by those who have conversed with General Pope on the subject, that ho intends to appoint two white men and one negro on the li.-g --istration Board in every county in his District —Macon Telegraph.

Whirl the Negroes Owe to the Radi cals.—Vive years ago yesterday Gene eral Hunter issued bis emancipation proclamation In Missouri, an act which was repudiated by the President, and which brought down upon the unlucky General the censures of scores of those very journals which would have us now Deliove that they have been spe cial champions of the black man.

Comparative Number of White and Black Voters in Georgia, under the Sherman Bill. ’“The fears of our people, it has oc-, curred to us, have been needlessly aroused at what they suppose to be the effect of the Reconstruction act in pla cing the control of the legislation of the State in the hands of the negro population. We have examined into the United States census of 1850 —the last that has reached us -and find that in Georgia there were then but twenty-seven counties which had more negroes than whites. Those counties were, Baldwin, Bryan, Burke, Cam den, Chatham, Columbia, Crawford, Glynn, Greene, Hancock, Harris, Jas per, Jefferson, Jones, Mclntosh, Mon roe, Morgan, Oglethorpe, Pu t n a in, Scrivcn, Ta bot, Taliaferro.and Wilkes, —Macon Messenger. Our usually correct cotcraporary. of the Macon Journal <£■ Messenger , is in error in supposing, that tli'.re are but twenty-seven counties in the State in which the blacks have a m jority of voters. We have before us the tax returns for the year 1866, and from these it appears that in addition to the chuntit-s named by the Messenger, there were a majority of negro-polls, which embraces male adults above the age of' twenty-one and under sixty in tlie foil- wing counties : Baker, Cal houn, Chattahoochee, Decatur, Dough, erty, Early, Elbert, Houston, Lee, Lib erty, Lincoln, Loundes, M;.con, Men riwethcr, Mitchell, Quitman, Randolph, Schley, Stewart, Sumpter, Terrell, Thomas, Troup, Twiggs and Warren. These tax tables show, also, that two of the counties given in the Mes senger as having a majority of negroes, to. wit: Bryan and Chatham —have now a majority of white male adults.

Stevens that the Southern States shall be excluded af ter they have complied with the He. Construction hill, is an emphatic and unmistakable protest against such vio lation of honor and faithlessness to contract. Congress has said- to the South that it may have representation and participation in the Federal coun cils upon certain terms. The Repub lican party, in every State of the North, accepted this platform last Fall. Upon the issue thus made, pure and simple, that party went before the country.-- And in all the originally loyal States, lrom Maine to Missouri, it was in dorsed. Tliad. Stevens, the apostle of hate and champion of malignity, did his very worst to secure an acceptance of his pet theories, “ confiscation and punishment ’’ lie cajoled, threatened and ridiculed by turns. He so far as to vote with the .Democracy against his own party, when it refused to endorse his vagaries. Fut Re was uniformely defeated. Not a single measure originated by him was adop ted in the shape in which it left his hands. Mr. Stcvpns has therefore no right to speak for the Republican [ar ty. Its sentiments is truly represen ted by Senator Wilson, who -assures the Southern people that they shall have representation as their reward for obedience to the laws, Unless the Supreme Court shall impose an injunc tion, and the Fresidcnt suspend the execution of the act in obedience to it, we predict that several States will have complied with all the prelimina ry conditions and secured their repre sriitatioti.in Congress before the close of its next session. Put that in your memory-box and see whether the event proves that Thad. Stevens or the Republican party is right.— Eve ning Journal. * Ruskin on Judas.. • John Ruckiu, in the Crown of Wild Olives, characterizes in h'rs trenchant style those who like to make money, as imitators of Judas: “We do great injustice to Iscariot, in thinking him wicked above all com mon wickidness. lio was cnly a com mon money lover, and Like all money lovers, did not understand Christ; cotrldent make out the worth of him or meaning of him. He didn’t Want him to be killed. He was horror struck when he found that Christ would be killed; threw his money away, instantly and hanged himself. — (low many of ofir present money see kers, think you, would have the- graze to hang themsclvesj, whoever they kill'd? But Judas was a common, selfish, muddled-l ended, pilfering fel low ; his hand always- in the bag of the poor,-not caring for them. He didn’t understand Christ, yet lie believed jn him much more than most of us do; had seen him do miracaleg, thought, lie was quite strong enough to shift for h in self; and he, Judas, might as well mulca Liu own little by puiajiiisites nut of the affair. Christ would come out of itrwcll enough, and he have thirty pieces. Now, that is the money see ker’s ideal all over the World. Lie doesn’t hate Chri.-t, but can’t under stand him—lie doesn’t care for him — sees no good in that benevolent busi ness ; hut makes his own little job of it, at all events, come What wHI. And thus, out of every mass of men, you have a certain number of hag men—- your ‘lice fist' men, whose main object is to make money. And they do niajjc | it —make it in all sorts of unfair ways, ; chiefly by the weight, and force ol j money itself. or what is ca’lcd the | power which money, onoc obtained, j has over the labor of the poor, so that ! tire cap Jalist can take all its produce ! to himself except the luborar’s fofld.— j That is the mo lorn Judas’ way of ‘carrying the hag’ and ‘bearing what is put therein.’ ’’ Senator Wilson.— ThoNew York Times (Radical) says: “Senator Wilson’s Southern tour seems? to he a case of great cry and little wool.

The whites let him alone, and have not paid him thi compliment of getting : angry at anything he has said. Me It s rated them to his heart’s content, and they hear him with civility, if not with respect, and then Mr. Wilson packs up, his stock of platitudes and diatribes, and takes himself off unno ticed to the next town. It seems rather dui 1 soft of work. It is not, we may be sure,-exactly what the Senator bargained for. If thero had been a disturbance anywhere what a theme it l»ould have suppl ed him with—what' 1 a martyr he would have returned ! As i it is,' he conies back in the position of [ one who thought to .move the universe, and finds that ho has not made So much stir as a gadfly in Summer.
