It is cer tainly a wonderful achievement of sci ence when a man can, hy a gentle pre.s- sare of his linger, sit in his otlice in America and start steam machinery, to running in England, over 3,OUO miles distant! Col. Stovall is an earnest advo cate of direct trade between our Georgia ports and Europe, and wants to see a steamship leave Savannah once a week laden with the prodacts of our Holds, our mines and-our factories, and return to us laden with ltrilish gold and select emigrants, who will help us to cultivate our fields and develop our resources. When the wealth ar.d resources of our state are made known in England, our farmers can borrow on their lands all the money they want at C» per cent, and when direct communication is establish ed between our ports and Liverpool, we can repay the same in chickens at $1.50 each, eggs at 60 cents per dozen, ami also find a ready market for everything that our lands, our orchards and forests produce, even down to dried persim mons and locust pods, that are here per mitted to rot on the tree. In England they command a good price and are groundup for stock food. On every farm in Georgia there is a fortune wast ing for the want of shipment. Ou r far mers must look out for another money crop besides cotton, for it is now being grown in various parts of the world a ml the price will get lower and lower. 1 in 1885 the Southern States of America i produced MS per cent, of the entire cotton ; crop of the world; lust year we only pro- ’ dneed 55 percent. This fact accounts l or the reduction in price, and the end is not yet. Now, if Georgia can iiml a narket for the various other products of i her soil, that now go to waste, we can | afford to give up the production of the I fleecy staple altogether.

WINDING II* A TRIUMPHANT MAHCII THKOUGU THE DISTRICT. SCAB. KEESE BURIED TOO DEEP FOR THE HORN OF THE POLITICIANS TO RESURRECT. For a week past Capt. Carlton has been inarching through the rain and inud of Madison, Franklin, Hart and Elbert, delivering an average of two speeches a day and travelling the greater part of the night, making one of the most wonderful campaigns in the politicals annal of our state. Capt. Carlton has been cut off from telegraphic communication and lost to his friends in Athens, and it was only through an occasional wanderer from the interior that we could hear of him. made known, Drs. Willingham and Faust and Mr. G. W. Smith at once se cured the Masonic Hall and tendered it to Capt Carlton. At 11:30 o’clock be* j tween 50 and 75 whites, with a good sprinkling of darkeys, assembled in the hall. Of this crowd, we suppose that four-fifths were Reese men. We ac quainted Capt. Carlton with this fact, hut he said it was jnst what he wanted —that he came not to bring the right eous, but sinners to repentance. *** The speaker opened by saying that no introduction was necessary for him in Oglethorpe county, where he had al ready been endorsed by the people, and who were all his intimate and warm friends. For over two hours he kept the audience enchained with an address every word of which went home to them. At first there was no applause, not even when Capt. Carlton appeared upon the rostrum; but as the speaker warmed up to his subject, the hearts of the au dience went out to him, ar.d when he took his seat he had captured nine-tenths of the crowd.'

The information was received with delight by Carlton s friends, as *;very argument of Reese’s friends was predicated upon bis loyalty to “duty.” His presence also indicated to them that the enthusiasm for Carlton was of such a character as to force his opponent from his original line of de fense.

To-day the live -portsmen returne,! en route fot home. They brought no game, but instead came buidened with a most marvellous story of a burning mountain in their hunting district. The names of tne young men are Sutton, Williamson, Van Horn, Crihbs and Alexander. The district in which they went hun'iptv lies about fifty miles to tlie «ouTi . f the Canadian Pacific rail- -v:t\ it. ck from Brule, on the high land- mar the Manitcu river.

The first intimation that the lather, whose name is Malcolm, had of this strange phenomenon was the unusual sight ol a great number ol dead fish in the Manitou.

Two others, Ed and Harve Hartness, were considerably carved up with knives. The facts athered ate as follows: the cause ok the trouble. Roll Whitmore is the father of an illegitimate child by Marion Hartness’ daughter, a giilof fitteen yea s. Whiltnore was a few months ago married to a young lady by the name of Hughes, and had induced the mother of the child to give it to him to raise. She, on the day be fore the night of the killing, asked to have the child sent to sec her, which request was complied with. The cliiiu was carried by Roll Whitmore's mother in the morning, with instructions to bring it home in the afternoon. Being refused the child hy its mother, Mrs. Whitmore informed the buys of the situation. THE CALI. TO ARMS. Roll, together with nis brother, Washington, armed themselves with double-barrel-shotguns, and starting ,to the home ot Hartness, said they would kill the whole d—d -set or have the child. Their fath er, George Whitmore, appealed to them not to go; that he would get the child aud save a bad light, i'he boys would not heed the old man, until, when in about one hun dred yards of the house of Hartness, he persuaded them to stop until he could go and see what) could be done. He was informed by the brothers of the girl, that it was bet intention to ki ep the baby, and that they did not teel called upon to force her to give it up. Whitmore begged them to give it up and save Double and murder. He went back to his boys, and told them what was said. They beettme en raged, ami ptoceeded to the house. When within the yard, they were warned not to come in the house. MET 11V POWDER. Pushing Airs.

In a long lettea to the Home Jour nal Mr. J. W. Edwards, of Hall's Mill, Bartow county, and ex-mem ber of Troupe Artillery, Captain H. H. Carlton, Iiee’s Army, after con gratulating, this paper and the Con^- gressional district upon his candi-. dacy, proceeds to recount some of the salient episodes ol that cele brated battery in the war and its fearless commander. The letter is a long one^ and \vd are permitted by limited space only to quote trom it here and there. Mr. Edwards was a nott-com- missioned officer under Carlton. He relates that in those famous, some times useless and often fatal “ar tillery duels” that every old soldier will remember with horror, Carl ton’s battery never was silenced or driven from the field. He made it a point always to get the last shot. The writer recounts an incident where he was in camp; apparently at the point of death with typhoid fever, just at a crisis when a retreat ot the army was ordered. To be left sick in camp was to fall into the hands of the enemy. Carlton di rected some of. his men to remove Edwards to a wagon and have him borne along with the* battery. The Captain was tola that to remove Edwards was simply to hasten his death, which at best was consider ed certain at almost any moment. Carlton’s answer was characteris- “I’ll take him along with its, dead or alive! The enemy shall not even have his bones if I can help it!” Edwards was accordingly drag- ed along with the attillery, and through providential interposition and kind nursing and attention is alive to tell the story. The Troupe battery fired the sig nal gun for the great Fredericks burg battle, the initial shot being aimed by Edwarus. The battery never went into action without Carlton, save when he was disabled by wounds; and no matter how of ten he was shot, he was sure to come to the front the very first mo ment his recovery would permit. The sound of his guns was as famil iar as the voice of a triend, and the name of Ins battery was a household word, if indeed such ati expression cou d be pardoned where there were no households. Mr. Edwards says: “I would rather trust Cariton than any other man 1 know in Georgia. I have seen him and observed him where it requit .-J nerve and principle; and he was never wanting. I was wounded at Malvern Hill, ami even in the heat and horror of that ter- ific battle Carlton coolly stepped to my side to examine my wound and encourage me. In another minute he w is again at the flout in com mand of his famous battery.” STARMMNG, KL’T TRUE. Captain Carlton has the cour age, the ability and the principle to stand firmly lor anything involving the inteiests and welfare of his'peo ple.” J. W. Edwards, Late ol Troupe Artillery. June, 1SS6.

He used the French method, employing two rod men. Squire Hamilton is a good business man, and never allows time and circum stances to deter his business. Now, Mr. Editor, when one gen tleman publishes another, accusing him of a misdemeanor,he is amena ble to the accuser until the charge is proven. 1 deny the charge, and demand the proof, and if the proof is not lorthcoming,then the accsert stands convicted of falsehood and slander, which is the object of tha foul charge.

This distinguished gentleman address ed the people of Hart county in the court house at Hartwell on last Wednesday. Considering the short notice and the busy time with the farmers he had a large audience. His speech was an elo quent one. and was received with hearty applause, lie was introduced hy Hon. A. G. MeCurry in an appropriate man ner, and for over two hours entertained the audience with oiie of the finest polit ical speeches we ever listen-d to. He exposed the schemes and trickery that had been used not only against him hut a;ainst the majority of the democratic voters of the 8th district, and showed conclusively to the minds of most of his hearers that the people owed it to them* selves to stamp the seal of their condem nation upon the unfair and undemocratic methods that were being used. It would be useless to deny the fact that bis remarks won many votes. We cannot see liow a citizen of Hart county, who is apprised of the facts, can vote against him; for to do so is to vote against j the action of the executive committee in giving the smaller counties in the dis trict (of which Hart is one) a larger and more equitable representation in the congressional convention. His charges were not made at random but were backed up by irrevokable evidence. It was a revelation to us, and wc feel it to be our bounden duty to urge upon the people to cast their votes for the candi date who so fearlessly, in the face of such powerful opposition, champions their cause.
