On last Thursday evening about 4 o’c'ock, Mrs. Sarah Ann Chancey, wife of Mr. Calvin Chancey, of this county, who lives near Mitchell’s bridge, while on her way home from town, accompanied by her lit tle girl Mary, about ten years old, was overtaken ne r the bridge by one John Scott, a white married man who followed them along some distance, curbing and swearing and making all kinds of hellish threats. The woman and her litt'e g;rl ran through the woods until almost ex hausted, in trying to evade Scott, when she met Mr. Sam Couch, whom s.he told of Scott’s threats and menaces. Mr. Couch seeing John Scott coming up' in pursuit of the woman and child, ran and caught him and held him until they could getaway. When Co ich released iiis hold, however, Scott immediate ly renewed his pursuit and overtook the woman and child the second time, whereupon he caught the lit tle girl, and attempted to accom plish the crime at which devils b'ash for sham e. The screaming of the girl and her mother soon brought Couch to their rescue a second time, who aided the woman and child to get to their-home without again fall ing into the clutches of this human devil Scott. The woman went immediately ov er to Mr. Duke Hamilton’s, who is a Jnstice of the Peace in that district, and had a warrant issued for the ar rest of Scott, charging him with as sault with intent to rape. The war rant was at once placed into the hand* of Constable Sims who made diligent search for Scott, hut was too late, he having made his escape. Mrs. Chancey says Scott hud been drinking and was partly under the influence of liquor at the time. This however, we are glad to know, is no excuse, but rather an aggrava tion of the diabolical offence. Scott may thank his maker if he escapes a speedy sentence and execution under Judge Lynch, and is allowed to pick coal for Joe Brown the re mainder of his worthless life.

We m^de mention, a few days ago, that a negro had forged an order on Mr. W. T. Malcora, of Oconee county, and presented it to Mr. Elder, and that the negro said a w hitejmau had given him the order. The same day an order was carried to Mr. Louis Morris for two dollars, signed by Mr. W. T. Malcom. The order was given fo Mat Brown to carry to Louis Morris, and after get ting it cashed he brought it back and gave the money to a white man standing at Lowe’s corner, who at once got the same changed to pay the boy for going after it. The white man was recognized as John Chauncy, of Ocon-e, and a warrant was swcui out and Mr. Browning arrested Chauncy, wL was brought to Athens end gave bond. The trial will come up to-morrow before the committing court. Chauncy claims that he cannot write. There is some mystery connected with the aflair, and we hope it will be clear ed up before the courts. Mr. Mc- Ginty contended Jail the time that the negro arrested was innocent, as he knew him to be an honest man and incapable of such an act, de pitc the overwhelm - ! >g testimony ainst him. It seems now that the hoy was a victim of a strong chain of circumstantial evidence. * I’Uys TelUmouy.

A negro can break down any pack of dogs in Georgia, and even if they caught up with Jim to night he could keep them off of him. A hound is a timid creature and only fit to track and not to catch. For convicts we keep a slow breed, so as they will not run ahead of the horses. I never force convict to lead a chase, but most of them enjoy the fun and are al ways ready.” time having elapsed,two fine negro hounds, of medium size, were carried in a patch through which T im had passed, the chain that >ound them together being taken off, and Mr. Powell, pointing to the ground, said: “Nigger!

Frank Pope and tor the it all night but what it is brought to an end. A hundred men may travel the same route as did Jim, but they will notice none but his track. A dog can . carry only one scent at a time. The negroes know this, and have learned how to throw them off. For instance, they will, after .running a certain distance, stop and rub tifa bottom of’ their feet with an onioh Or spirits of tur pentine. As soon’ as the hounds strike this they ’ are lost, hilt the ien ne How Our Bright Expectations were Nipped Ig tho Bod Stem Norton,'ot Greono, Calls “HaM"—KW Obey,’ but Give Venl to Our FooNogs on tho Subject—Acres ol Human ■one* Bleaching Id; the Sun—Surmises About (ho Origin ol Those Mounds—Wha! a> Dr. J. H. Brightwoll Has to Say-Tho End ol Our Greono County Trip. Our chief mission to Greene coun ty was to explore the large Indian mound situated on the left bank of the Oconee, about a mile and a half above Powell’s Mills. The aborigi- nees professed to know nothing of the history of these artificial forma tions, and it is supposed by some that its construction yvould date back to the infancy of Uncle Calvin Johnson, Toon Powell hau prom ised to turn over to us his Convict force, and calculated that it would take 25 hands three days to explore the largest mound. When we reach ed his farm .Mr- PoweU had his wheelbarrows, tools, etc., ready laid out to begin work early on Mon day morning. He anticipated no interruption, as the land belonged to some orphan children and Mr. Wray,the tenant gave permission for the exploration. In fact, Mr. W. had already decided to demolish a part of the mound and test its soil as a fertilizer, for it is very black and alluvial, and he had no objection to having a part of the work done for him by other hands. Bai, it seems that we had counted without our host Sunday evening Mr. Powell received a message from Sheriff Norton, of Greone, who is agent for the property upon which the mound is situated, that he most positively and emphatically objected to the mound being disturbed. Toon had received this message just before we reached his house, and had a bomb exploded at his feet he would not have been more surprised. In fact, in the language of the orator, we found our friend too full for ut terance. After gently breaking the melancholy intelligence to us we asked our host what lie thought of this unlooked-for quarantine. “Think! Why my indignation is fatigued. If I had been in Athens when Charlie Norton’s message was delivered to me Cran Oliver would have had me in the calaboose before a cat could blink its eye for using forbidden language. To say the least, my thoughts are very deep-seated and emphatic, and would not do to print in a Sunday- school book. But I am determined that you shall not be disappointed. As soon as crops are laid by I will take every hand on my place and throw up a mound that will look like a regular mountain beside a mole-hill when compared with the old pile of dirt up the river, and you may come down next summer and dig into it to your heart’s content. I’ll show the high sheriff’ of Greene county that he can’t get up any cor ner in this 1 spread-eagle country of freedom and universal liberty on old second-hand tumuli. I shall build my mound in the most mod ern and improved style, with bay windows, serpentine walks and ah uavenpor MP, .,Wray we started „„ mounds. Our road led up the river and through a beautiful Bermuda meadow. We progressed. Ivefy nicely until a ditch in the road was reached, when tine -of the traces snapped in half. Now navigation - in a vehicle without traces is like starting up an engine with the steam turned off. In other words, it can’t be did. The top of the mound could be seen towering in the valley half a mile or more up the river, as if beckoning us to hurry on. Every man in the party turned his pockets inside out, but no signs of a string could be found] Toon made some remark abont the devil appearing to be on the side of Charlie Norton, when John Daven port’s eye rested on Mr. Wray’s watch-guard, made of a little short cloth shoe-string. In an instant he had it off and the trace was repaired. We looked with wonder upon the skill of our young friend, and de cided if you would give him a bun dle of shoe-strings that he could bind a cyclone hand and foot There are two monnds at this and place, one very steep and precipi tous, there being only one side upon which it can be ascended, while the other is probably twelve or fifteen feet tall and the top levelled off. They are about thirty yards apart No attempt has ever been made to explore either, although the Harri son freshet washed a good deal ol dirt from the base of the larger, ex posing a great many relics and a part of the skeleton of a giant It took onlv a few minutes to examine the smaller mound, when we turned our attention to the larger, that look ed like a huge sugar loaf rising in the valley. Its sides are covered with a dense growth of bushes and cane, while on its summit is a thrifty plum orchard. A number of years ago Mr. Wray planted a watermel on patch on the top of this mound, and says its soil is exceedingly fer tile. Wherever the outer crust is washed away you see pieces of hu man bones and broken pottery. The relics washed from this mound are superior in finish and dssign to those made by the Indians. For in. tance the stonewares are polish ed as smooth as marble, while the pottery is nicely figured and shows a superior workmanship. If Indians ■ reared these mounds, the race had certainly degenerated greatly at the time of the discovery of America. Dr. J. II. Brightwell, who was rais ed near this spot, says the largest mound is made of sundried buck, and the clay was not found near at hand, as may be supposed, but brought from different parts of the country for fifty miles or more, as specimen of soil e Doctor thinks you can see every s] this section. The it was a place of worship, and per' haps required centuries in building, Observatory on top. I’ll fill it brim full of relics, too, if I have to import hunter, whemlie catches tip, knows the trick, and cap'soon get them on the trail of the turpentine or onion, whifcH the hounds Will j follow as faithfully as the other scCrit. There old ' is an old slave n t ow on . my place who lived in the woods half his life and never was caught by dogs, al-. though trailed for' hundreds of miles. He says when out of sight of the dogs he always v^ent in a walk, for a hound, When trailing, can onjy travel as fast as the man he is pursuing. • Again, runaways take a zig-zag course, that confuses and delays the hounds. But hark!, the dogs have struck Jim’s track’ again. Listen!” One dog seemed to be in lead of the other and their different tones could be easily distinguished, even at a distance. Sometimes they seemed to be traveling as if on the wings of lightning; then at a snail’s T, ~* - v --- ’• stuck 1 sounding sadly night. You could hear them the entire round until the circuit was made, the runner coming in some time ahead of the hounds, that fol lowed his track as faithfully as a man could a broad highway. As we listened to this sound, that has Been so vividly described by Mrs: Stowe, in “Uncje Tom’s Cab in,” we thought of the capital the Northern press is trying to make of a harmless necessity. A convict camp without trailing dogs would soon be broken up. They are the only thifig that keeps the prisoners from attempting escape, and while a human being ’trailed by brutes is unpleasant to’ contemplate, gt the same time they save many a life from being sacrificed in a fruitless effort to escape. If a convict makes a break there is no necessity of the guard shooting him, for he can be trailed-and soon captured with dogs. We have never heard of a prisoner being bitten by these animals, for they can always hear them baying in time to climb a tree or fence, or if overtaken in an open place, the can be kept at a safe distance wit’ even a riding switch. If the Northern humanitarians could only visit the convict farm .of Messrs.' Powell & Davenport, and see how humanely the prisoners are treated, and how well they look, they would turn their attention from the penitentiaries of the South and expend their misapplied sympathy on their ofim prisons. Qut-door labbr is healthy, and the convicts on far Jitter treated, and hi . ape them from the banks of the Nile. And if Charlie Norton comes nos- ing around here while I am at work on it you will find a skeleton, too, in that mound, with a petrified soul about as big as a grain of mustard seed. _ The truth is, I have had a curiosity for a long time to see what the old mound contained in its inwards, but wanted some other inquisitive jackanapes to make the start and shoulder all responsibility of the expedition. Your proposition to head the explorers came like a ray of sunshine athwart the pathway of my curiosity; but now, right on the heels, as it were, of our lifting - veil that has been drawn for cen turies, this veto is hurled at my head. Oh, had I a thousand tongues and was left unconfined in some vast wilderness, that I might do justice to the subject.” And Toon sat down a picture of the most abject despair. We tried to comfort our friend, but it came with poor grace from us, who felt the disappointment about as keenly as did Mr. P. In fact; if anything a little more so, for Toon had to tote the skillet, while our only outlay was loss of time. We asked Mr. Powell if he had a picture of Sheriff Norton, as we wished to engrave his image upon our heart. He said he had not, and what was more his future mission through life would be to blot out all remembrance of that former friend from his mind. “And to think how I loved that man, too!” he wailed, “I asked of him bread and he gave me a stone— and, by jingo, Charlie Norton will find that other people can stones.” this farm are , we believe qre happier, than tile overtasked operatives ih the Eas tern cotton factories. ’ • ; t ted the malaria that has for years j mons, with unlawfully conspiring I , '“Djd you hab a 'chance to steal been an annual visitor hunt and J to corrupt and frustrate the consti-ldathog and then didn’t do’it'Und there is not a healthier.spot now I tutional procedure, and aet^ pf the t Was de hog faf?” cull Shoals. llijiiHtiifi R—IunMlAtf thl) I ■mil 111 | M Y«Kbut I IsinnerctUf?” plead- than in the vicinity of SctMT SJjiaalaf So while these enterprising-gentle- tof*Ontario.

He says he has conclusive proof that the mound once had an open space or vault on the inside, for he can remember when there showing that the supports had giv en way. Signs of this basin are yet noticeable. Some of the oldest in habitants say there was a tunnel leading from the top of this mound into the river. This is reasonable, as there is a large mound on the Savannah river, in Elbert county, that had such a passage, and parties were living within the memory of the present generation who had passer through iL But the valleys around these mounds are no less in teresting than the elevations them selves. For acres on each side the earth is one vast cemetery, and hu man bones, relics and broken pot tery bestrew the ground.

This thing of laying up wealth in the shape of old Indian mounds was a new sort of industry to us. We thought if the agency over a little artificial bank of earth would make Sheriff Norton such a nabob, what would be his bearing and sen sations if he was elected Captain General of old Bald Mountain up in Towns county, or owned a sec tion of the Blue Ridge? Why, Georgia wouldn’t be large enough to hold that man, and it would be like starting to the end of the rain bow for the common herd to get in speaking distance ofhim. Vander bilt would be a regular street beg- gar beside the sheriff of Greene. We do not know of but one more instance of this kind on record— that of an Oglethorpe farmer who dug a well but continued to use wa ter from his spring, on the ground that the water in his well would keep.while that from the spring was wasting. But perhaps this agent thought his old mound was filled with gold and precious stones, and knew full well that the average editor could not bear prosperity and we might die suddenly from en Iargement of the pocket af ter striking' this bonanza. As about 2,000 years or more have elapsed since these mounds were built, Mr. Norton doubtless calculated that : nickel deposited in one then, at com pound interest, would, have swelled to an enormous sum, and he could take the proceeds, pay off the na tional debt, complete Washington’! monument, and thus take a place in the affections of the people along side of the man who set ’em up to the.crawid. Again, perhaps, the High aheriff of Greene had been reading up on forbidden fruit in the Bible, and interpreted the passage to refer to the little plum orchard on top of the mound, and so felt his Christian duty to sustain t Scriptures. So it is seen that we extend the greatest , of all virtues, Charity, toward Sheriff Norton And leaye him /every loophole of cape. •But.wa werg determined not „ m flMpted.claaraut, and so asked afr-.Wrayjfh. thought the agent would corfSider it a, trespass if we went one eye on his old mound. ■ iHe said.he Would isboulder .all re sponsibilities ..-ifoiwe: promised to our handidn.our pockets and ““tile examining them; for . tthinkjthft Captain wo« Id 'ennitanyof the precious: dirt “tom pottery ■ surrounding I bafil Hid I'-oJib-l , wA bailqqsttri till hr 1. ■ Us miris£i was a deep sink on the inside, river a few years ago he counted fifteen skeletons exposed by one- new-made wash. Mr. Wray se cured us a common weeding-hoe, <fnd with it we excavated a number of skeletons. They are not buried in regular order, but the bodies lay in every pasture and position. We found one pasture whose bones had been subjected to fire, for they were charred into coal. Whether the owner of this anatomy had been burned at the stake, or was permit ted by his Satanic Majesty to re turn and warn his people against the world below, is a question that we will not discuss. Mr. Wray says that, in plowing this field he finds a great many interesting rel ics, and his children have gathered long strings of all colored beads from the exposed graves. We are induced to the belief that this spot was the scene 01 a bloody battle De tween savage tribes for the posses sion of tlie mound, as there are two distinct burial-grounds, with a va cant space between, and the skele tons show that the bodies had been hastily and carelessly interred. It was a disappointment when It was a disappointment when forbidden by Mr. Norton to explore these mounds, for it could have done the property no harm what ever and might have thrown new light on the early history of our country. Mr. Wray was exceed- ngly polite and obliging; but before we separated requested that we per mit him to search our pockets, as Mr. Norton would be very angry with him if we had secreted one of hij tumuli about our person and carried it off to be explored at leis ure. Toon Powell says he intends yet to see what is in the mound, and thinks that after having a talk with Mr. Norton he can prevail upon him to permit the exploration, as he is convinced from his knowl edge of that gentleman that he is laboring under some false impres sion. A FATAL ERROR. Jxkstm tlerald. Three or four years ago two ne groes were arrested in Hall county on a charge of raping a white wo- They were tried, and found guilty. One was hung and thcoth- er sent to the chaingang for life. Since then enough evidence has been tound to satisfy the communi ty where the supposed crime was committed that toe negroes were innocent As the negro now in the chain gang was a citizen of this county, parties placed the matter before the ast Grand Jury, and, after an inves tigation, they decided to request the Grand Jury of Hall county to ask the Governor for the negro’s par don. If these facts are true, how fear ful it must be to think that a human being’s life was required to satisfy a law that he had never violated, and another wearing chains for an of fense that he never committed. The citizens of Hall owe it to themselves to make n thorough investigation, and if they find that the parties were innocent, they should make all the haste possible to make amends totheliving. ^ • 1 the rush at Loaf 4 Co's • a ?
