SOUTHERN Colonel John O. Rutherford. BANNER: i ■:!*!» Wo give place i» our columns to tlie following very graceful compli ment to our townsman Colonel J. C. Rutherford taken from the San- dersville Herald and Georgian with pleasure. Colonel Itntlierforil stands in the front rank of his profession in our city and has in waiting a briglit future: COLONEL. JOHN c. RUTHERFORD. This gentleman, who is one of the brightest and most prominent mem bers of the legal profession in Georgia, is about thirty-three years of ago, of dignified and commanding appear ance, with a personal' calculated to impress and at the same tint” to command admiration, is a s n of l*rofessor Rutherford, of Athens, graduated nt the University of Geor gia with honor, afterward at tire Lumpkin law school about the age of eighteen. In the year 1861, during the dark and terrible struggle by the .South for her independence, he threw aside his bright prospect in the pro fession which he had taken up and entered the service of the “Lost Cause ” as Adjutant of Cobb’s Geor gia Legion, was promoted to Adju tant General on Cobh’s ptaff, was afterward appointed Adjutant and Inspector General of the Department of Florida, remained in Florida a short time, and was Adjutant and Inspector General under General Gardner commanding fortifications around Richmond, Virginia. He w as sent by President Davis and the Secretary of War to exchange the Andersonville prisoners, and three days after the surrender of the armies of the South, took a receipt for the prisoners at Jacksonville, Florida. Col. Rutherford after the located in Bainbridge, Ga, and made the handsome sum of three thousand dollars the first year. He was ap pointed Solicitor General of the Albany circuit and served his term out with honor and credit; moved to Macon, Ga., in 1873, where ha has built up a very large and remunera tive p> notice. Upon tbe death of Judge Hill could have been made Judge of the Superior Court of the Macon circuit had he so desired Col. Rutherford is a nephew of Georgia’s gifted son, General-Howell Cobh, and one on u hose shoulders the mantle of the great statesman an 1 jurist may fitly fall. Yet in his early manhood the future holds for him a brilliant prospect, and in tbe wide realm of the State there heats no heart antagonistic to Lis advance ment, for all who knew him love him for his mental power, as well as for his genial and winning manners, Col. Rutherford is engaged in the most important cases in our court, and our people are turning their eyes to him in that full confidence which is the surest evidence of the esteem in which they hold him. a Mg>—■MW An j. . m. . , , . , , . ! lit before the court house door in the town uirl. lho machine is reduced to Its ' or Danielsville, county of Madison, Statu of APRIL 2. - interr !»"«* has adju&lablo |lf j ‘SfSS&m, is very durable and easily managed! * • prqiierty to-wit: l .

M. EDWARDS, Superintendent. A New Cotton Picker A cattail picker which promises to work a revolution in the harvesting of cotton, and it is said it will do the work of one hundred laborers in the field, has just been invented and pat ented by a North Carolina man. The machine is about the size and weight of a two-horse wagon, and is upon three wheels, the centre one running between two rows and the other two outside of them. Tlie two driving wheels, from which is worked the ma chinery, is high enough to carry everything above tho cotton. The front wheels is about half the height, and works on a pivot joint, to which are attached the horses, which walk between tlie rows. The picking ma chine consists of two hundred linger shaped cards on India rubber, work ing up and down through tlie stalks as the machine advances. These catJs will not take hold of anything but the lint of the open cot ton, and takes that whether it is on the ground or on the top of the stalk. Leaves, twigs aud hulls will not stick to them, but the cotton touched in ever so small a degree instantly ad heres, and will not let go until brushed off the top by the brusher, whence it is taken on an apron of bands aud deposited in a receptacle in the rear iu conditions to the Congress. The preliminary Commission, which is to assemble at Berlin, is only to settle llie formula of invitations.” Constantinople, March 20.—It is expected that Osman Pasha will soon be released by the Russians and return here. It is doubtful now whether the Grand Duke Nichols will visit Constantinople at all. A PROPOSED COMPROMISE. Paris, March 20.—It is stated that Russia now propose to read the whole treaty to the congress, leaving it the right to select the articles for discus sions. It is believed that England will refuse this compromise and Rus sia will eventually yield. London, March 20.—In the House of Commons this afternoon,- Siv Staf ford Northcote, Chancellor -of the Exchequer, stated that the February dividend on the Turkish guarantee loan was paid by England. The amount was £77,448. A portion of the dividend should come from the Egyptian tribute, but this has not been paid. The Khedive bad prom ised to forward part of it immediately. England had taken steps to obtain half the £77,448 from France, which was the joint guarantor. THE TIMES’ LEADER. The leading editorial in the Times, I after considering the terrible conse- I qucnces that would follow a great I war, and the tremendous responsi- i bilitv that bring it on, concludes as follows: “Nevertheless, England must adhere to the demand that the entire treaty of San Stesano be sub mitted to tbe congress. The alterna tive plan suggested by Russia would raise the previous question in every clause of the treaty except those which Russia of her own accord brought before the congress. But a far more important issue than the interest of any Power is at stake. W e take our stand upon the existing treaties. The one hope of statement for the future peace of the world must be founded on the development of a system ot public law and upon the maintenance and increase of the j authority of treaties. It tlie public j law of Europe be valid until formally rrpealed, any new arrangement bes tween Russia and Tut key fails, de ipso lacto, by its very nature, within the scope of tbe treaties of 1856 and 1871. It is not in tbe power of Russia and is not even* within the competence of the congress to decide whether or not certain clauses of the new treaty falls within the recogni zance of tlie signatories of the old treaty. It is bound to take the new instrument into consideration as a who'e.” Jamos S. Hamilton, executor ot 1 Kopbie Wiinxow, i Libel for Divorce, iu Iktnilton. (late or said county.) , v*.
