Unless the weather be- The New York World, In a re cent article upon the marriage ot Fred Douglass, has this to say upon the subject of miscegenation: “What offense does a lady com mit who marries such a man? She takes a husband with a dark skin and a little negro blood in his veins. That is the head and front of her offending. If she had married one of the many low, ignorant, white scamps who, having been kicked out of all decent circles, have found a resting-place in the publ'c depart- , ments, her friends would not have objected. But she has chosen an intelligent, honorable, able colored man and has given a terrible shock to‘Washington society.’ Is it not time that these prejudices against race should cease? Are they not out of place in a republican govern ment in Which all men. are now happily considered ‘free and equal?’ ” In reply to ti e World the Mobile Register says: “If the New York World enter tains such ideas as these and pro poses to promulgate them, it must not be surprised if it soon comes to be considered an improper paper to be introduced into a Southern fami ly circle. The Southern people can stand much, have stood much, but their very souls within them revolt at the idea of miscegenation. There was no occasion for the World mak ing a comparison between Fred Douglass and ‘ignorant white scamps.’ That has nothing to do with the question involved, which is the preservation of the integrity ; of the white race. Mr. Pulitzer is entitled to hold whatever view he pleases, but if he seeks to force views favoring miscegenation upon the public the Southern portion of the public] will soon giye him to understand that they will have none of them.” Whereupon the Nashville Banner remarks:] “With the Register we admit that intermarriage between the races would not be endured by Southern people. But, in morals and reason ) where is the greater disgrace in in termarriage than in illegitimate in tercourse? We scoff and scorn the i! man who would take a negro wo. man as his wife, but accept him aaa gentleman if he only keeps her as his mistress. To be consistent we should accept both as right, or reject Ijoth as wrong and disgraceful.” COU CANDLER'S POSITION. comes better he will go to ,Norfolk, Virginia, toward the end of the THE PANAMA CANAL. * .■-? ir A Prospect that It Win bs • \ Tout.

THE AUGUSTA TRAGEDY. says that since last year a g: eat deal 'the ot work has been done, arid at ores- ceased,' last week. The following is the statement of Mr. Greer, who killed Mr. Philpot at the valentine ball in Augusta, held at the Clinch engine house, on the 14th ipst.: “On Thursday night, 14th inst., I was at Clinch qngine house at a dance; there was a young lady and myself waltzing; Mr. Philpot and a young lady were promenading. In the waltzing Mr. Philpot and his partner ran against me and the young lady. Mr. Philpot told me end the young lady I was dancing with if that was the best we could do we had ^better sit down; I re marked to him that I thought it was his place to sit down. After the waltz I wert *0 him in a friendly manner and said: ‘Ed, I would like to see you.’ We walked over c. far as the door. I asked him what he meant by making such a remark; he said he meant just exactly what he said; he told me that if I didn’t like it lie cou'd lick me; I told him in the presence of ladies that was no place to fight; he walked down stairs and 1 followed him; going down the steps I saw him open his knife; as we got down the stairs, ht* struck me and I told him that I had seen him open his knife and that I did not want him to use it on me. He then cursed and swore and struck at me and I thought he was going to use his knife and I used mine. He then ran around the en gine and struck me on the arm with a torch, he struck at my head and I caught the blow on my arm. This was then the end of the difficulty, I pursued him no farther. He went up stairs then and I walked up after him and excused myself to the lady with whom I had made an engage ment; I did not receive or send any message to Mr. Philpot; saw Mr. Philpot draw his knife and open it coming down the stairs and one, arid at pres ent every section but.two has been let out to contractors. These two embraces difficut portions and are being'constjucted by the company. Work is being rapidly pushed along the line. Betmeen 15,000 and 20,- 000 Jamaica negroes are employed under the direction of the French engineers. Several large Ameri can dredging mcchines are being used. The Panama road is brought into play to transport material, while for the “dump” railway to draw the excavation away nearly l 5 o new locomotives have been contracted for. Great difficulty is being encountered in Chngres riv er, which crosses the canal at right rngles.

At the rate work _ ing on the canal will will be ready fo. opening in five or six years. The French director at Aspinwali has been assured that money enough will be furnished to push the enterprise vigorously to completion. Senator Frye, in a conversation, expressed his opinion that the con trol of the inter-oceanic canal is one of the most important questions now before the American people, lie believes that our government cannot aflord to allow any foreign power to control such a canal, as it would give them the command of the Pacific ocean, and must sooner or later result in a war for its con trol. He is a strenuous advocate of a Nicaragua canal built by the Uni ted States, but he believes that a proper assertion of our righs is nec- essaryin order to prevent French or any other European power from obtaining control of the Panama isthmus. Lieut. Rodgers, of the Tennessee, has forwarded to the Navy Department a report upon the present condition of the canal, setting forth its status in detail.

Mr. Fambrough lives five miles from town, and as soon as he discovered that something strange was the matter with the child, he mounted his horse and made the trip to town in thirty. minutes for Dr. VanHorn. As soon as the Doctor reached Mr. Fambrough’s home, he soon ascertained from the child’s symptoms that it : was sure enough poisoned: He quickly applied the antidotes for poison, and by hard work restored the little fellow to his former condition. The family seem ed to think that the child had swal lowed laudanum, but Dr. VanHorn thinks it was some liniment with peat deal of laudanum in it. We lope this affair, which came very near being fatal, will learn all our readers a good lesson. Never leave any kind of medicine where the children can get it A MAD FLOCK OF SHEEP. Lincolnton, N. C., Feb. 15. Some weeks ago mad dogs attacked a flock of sheep belonging to Mr. Ed Campbell. A few days ago one of the sheep exhibited the usual iptoms of hydrophobia, and was sd. Then another sheep was similarly afiected. Yesterday three more went mad, and it appears that all the sheep are affected. One of the strangest facts in connection with the affair is that the dogs did not kill any of the sheep, but only bit them. It is probable that 50 or 60 sheep will have to be killed.

Just before going to press we learn from Mr. Miles G. Dobbins', jr., of a fatal accident that occurred at the Dobbins’ ore mine, a few miles east of town. The bank caved in at 2130 o’clock yesterday, killing a negro man named Jessie Mimms instantly, and fatally wounding Taylor Buford another negro man, whose recovery is considered impossible. Miles Dobbins was in th- was in the mine at the time, and barely had time to escape before the dirt fell in. The recent heavy rains caused the banks «f the mine to give way, with the fatal re- abo- suits as above stated. Aa the doctor tured sadly sway from the patient whom he found using Dr. Hull’s Cough Syrup, he said: “It bests me every tune.’.’ If Ishmaelite: Mr. Livingston, of Newton county, has been elected president of the agricultural socie ty. If he doesn’t work this farm for all it is worth politically we are very much mistaken in the man. Rev. J. G. Gibson is out in a card stating that in no event will he be a candidate for State Senator. Dr. G. says he is not one of those men who believe that a minister of the Gospel has a right to hold office, but he has not either time or inclina tion to meddle in politics. We are no great lover of Joe Brown, or of any other man who deserted his party and his people in those dark days when Georgia need. ?d the support of her every son; but we must say that the Senator is proving himself a friend indeed to Athens amd seems to look with an' especial eye to the interest of our people. They certainly highly ap preciate his efforts in their behslf- It is stated that the land enclosure and pasturage laws passed at the recent extra session of the Texas legislature has had a veiy depress ing effect on the cattle interest, and Jhft‘the price of yearlings, has de] clined from $14 tq $11 per head, .while many small owners are pre paring fo leave the state.

How many know anything about the war in the “Soudan?” How many are keeping posted in.the his tory of the times? How many teach ers in the public schools in Nash ville, or in the estate, arc instructing their pupils in modern history as written by the press historians? None of them fail to impress the important events that happened in ancient Greece and Rome; and the study of histories of England and America, of France and Spain which tell of their past, is religiously en forced. Why not also give students an idea of the present? A golden opportunity tor a be ginning now presents itself. The dispatches bring news of the massa cre of a garrison ai “Smkat.” Where is “Sinkat,” and what'is the occasion of the massacre? As a iointcr, we will start the answer, ecause “Sinkat” is not on all maps, and we are not sure but that the above spelling of the word is bad. And parenthetically we would re mark, do not place place implicit confidence in the spelling of names as you find them in papers. Sinkat is a small town south' of Suakim and east of Cassala. £1 Mahdi, the “False l’rophet” at the head of the African tribes, is invad ing Abyssinia and Nubia, and his soldiers attacked the garrison of Egyptian troops at Sinkat. The latter bravely defended the town until food was exhausted, when, in desperation, they charged the rebel lious tribes and were slaughtered. Defeat leaves Tokar exposed,which is a smal town to the southwest of Suakim, and endangers the latter, which is a seaport town on the Red sea, and to this place have been or dered from Cairo a brigade of Eng lish troops, consisting of five solid battalions, and also the Tenth Hus sars. The British troops are for warded for the relief of Tokar, and for the protection of seaport towns along the coast of the Red sea. The Egyptian army in the Soudan, which is now composed of about 17,000 men, is to be concentrated in the country about Khartoum, if that can be done before the invading rebels reach that point. Khartoum is situated at the the junction of the White and Blue Nile, and is the most impor tant town of the interior. The sheik of Shendi and one other have engaged to keep communication open to Khartoum, but their ability to do so seems to be doubted from the tone of the latest dispatches. Col. Gordon has sent orders for the commander to destroy the forts at that place on the approach of the rebel chiefs. And this brings us to Col. or “Chinese” Gordon. He is an English officer sent to take com mand of the Egyptian forces and to restore peace by force or treaty. He left Cairo several weeks ago, and went by railroad to Siout, "the capi tal of Upper Egypt, with a popula tion of 30,000. Thence he went by steamboat up the Nile to Wady Haifa. Thence he was carried by camels several hundred miles south, across the Nubian desert to Berber, on the Nile. His destination was Khartoum, but the latest news still located him at Berber, and by no means safe from the False Prophet’s vengeance. From his former expe rience in this country, it was thought that C^ol. Gordon could quiet the dissatisfied sheiks, and on arriving at Berber, with this pur pose in view, he immediately called for robes of honor and swords to distribute to royal dignitaries. But the slaughter at Sinkat will add strength to El Mahdi’s forces, and. the war ill the Soudan may yet make serious trouble lor England and do much damage to the posses sion ofihe Khedive. The “Soudan’! is rather of undefined limits, bnt generally speaking, is that part of Africa lying between the Sixth and Twenty-third degree of north lati tude. In the present study, how ever, only Egypt, Nubia and Abys- sina need be considered. Gen. Gordon has now arrived at Khar toum. i. .
