Weather, Crops, &c.
The damage dune by the frost of a week ago is
not so extensive as was at first feared. The poach
crop though generally injured is not entirely destroy
ed. So we shall have some peaches nowithstanding
the efforts of Master Jack to deprive us of this luxury.
Jfemtimt'tVZe (TeMM.) ATew Era.
The Peaches, it is now decided, were very serious
ly injured by the severe cold of Monday and Tues
day nights of the last week. The early Apples were
also great sufferers. The wheat, as a whole, it is ;
generally conceded, was not much damaged.— FuyttG !
n7Ze ( Tenn.) Observer
WeJiear a general complaint among our citizens
that the peaches and apples were killed by the recent
heavy frost.— Columbia Obeerrer.
The severe cold and heavy frosts of last week, did
sure work among our different varieties of fruit, a
few apples only being left. We regret this, as the
fruit crop was our main dependence for subsistance
next summer.— Grenrille {Tenn.) Democrat.
Farmers report the wheat crop very promising,
and a large yield is anticipated if it escapes rust and
the ravages of the fly.
The heavy frusta of the post week have dene im
mense damage to fruit and fruit trees in this section.
Peaches and small fruits nearly all gone, and the
apple crop much injured, if not destroyed.— Eranklin
(Tenn.) Betietc.
Crops—Health. —The oat crop from what we
have seen in our travels and from information receiv
ed from parties is destined to be a perfect failure. Ma
ny planters have turned their cattle and horses into
their oat fields, so bad was the prospect. The health
of this town and country is generally fine. The
weather is warm and sultry. Thermometer ranging
from 75° to 85° during the day, but this is rendered
very pleasant by a bracing gulf breeze. A email
shower would do much good. — Bainbridge Gear
ffian.
Coix Axn Cottox.— The crops along the road be
tween Colquitt (Miller Bounty) and Bainbridge pre
vent a wry flattering prospect, some of the corn m
f. ‘ high and a splendid stand ; cotton looking fresh.
Jiainb.’idge Georgian.
From all we can learn the fruit crop in the county,
th.aigh considerably damaged by the late fr«»st, will
yield iuuugh tor all necessary purposes.—JneFsoa

Foreign News.
It is believed that the late war-like accounts
from Europe, were manufactured in Liverpool,
to effect the cotton market, and this opinion is
strengthened by the fact that uo ream is as
signed for the sudden change in feeling among
the European powers. The suspicion may be
right—who knows ? Xous verrons.
The Main.
This relic of barbarism was in full blast yes

Col. Lockridge, in consequence of General

The Utah Mail.
Leavenworth, April 15.
The Utah mail of the 15th ult. has arrived.
The Mormons at I’luvo were indignant be

The Irish Vu e Royalitv.—The Dublin cor
respondent of the Liverpool Journal says that
Queen 5 ictoria is in favor of makingthc Prince
of M ales her representative in Ireland, anil
that it is highly probable his Royal Highness
will ho the Viceroy before the close of 1800.—
It is upwards of four centuries since a royal
Prince filled th* office of Lord Lieutenant. Itis
understood that the Queen, accompanied by the
Prince Consort aud the Prince of Wales, will
visit Ireland during the coming summer, will
hold a Court at Dublin Castle, aud will be pre
sent at a grand review of troops at the Cur
ragh t amp. It is also stated that L .rd Carlisle
will soon hold the office of Lord Lieutenant,
from which ho will retire whenever the place
is wanted for the young Prince of Wales. — lb.
From correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, 14.—The surmises of New
I York journals as to an impending outbreak in
I Cuba receive lUtle attention or credit in this
quarter.
The m veniont this time is said to be Cuban,
and not American. It is not very probable,
however, that the Cuban revolutionists of pa
triots would select for an insurrection a time
when the island is guarded by some twenty
thousand Spanish troops, and, besides, a very
formidable licet. But if an insurrection occur,
one in such a form as to afford a guaranty of
ultimate success, the United States government
expected, it seems, to offer to Spain a large I
sum of money for the purchase of Cuban inde
pendence. After that achievement, a nego
tiation with the Cubans for the annexation of
Cuba is to follow.
Items from the City Papers.
Wf.si.kvan Female College.-We take pleas
ure in stating, on reliable authority, that there
is now no case of scarlet fever in this Institu- '
tion, and that the pupils, who left a week or
two since, through prudential motives, are re
turning to their places and studies. It is in
deed doubtful whether there has been any fatal
•case of Scarlatina, this season, in the Institu
tion. But one death occurred, aud in this 1
ease the patient had the scarlet fever in child
hood. The parents of pupils boarding in the
College may rest assured that their daughters
will be promptly dismissed should the occasion
arise that demands such a < ourse. For twenty
years that the College has been in operation,
we understand, that not more than five or six
pupils have deceased, while inmates thereof,
which, considering the number Usually assem
bled within the building, annually, shows a
remarkable degree of exemption from epidemi
cal or other diseases.— CWzen.
A New Cai: Lock.—A very simple and in
genious thing Las just been produced at the
Macon A AVestern workshop -the invention
of the Master Machinist, Thomas Dougherty.
Esq. It is designed to supersede the common
hasp, staple, and padluck now in use on freight
cars, which are not only cumbrous but unsafe,
inconvenient and have a bad habit of getting
frozen up in cold weather. In Mr. 1 >ouglierty’s
invention, we have a brass hasp which is itself
a lock. In securing the door, the bolt is slip
ped forward by a slide underneath, and the
key alone can unlock it. He thinks it cannot
'be picked. These locks are Tnade at a small
( cost, aud w ill soon be applied to all the cars ou
the Maoou A Western Road, and introduced on
the other roads. Mr. Dougherty has taken
steps to stcure a patent, and wo hope the in
-1 veiitioii may be of value to him personally as
well as to the public.— Telegraph.
The Tax Law. —Our readers will rcmcnil>er
that we published a few weeks ago, an able
decision ot Judge Cabaniss, in relation to the
tux laws of the State. At its lale sitting in
Atlanta, the bupreme Court continued that
deeisioii. This puts an end to the patriotic
labors aud eiuoiuuients of officious iufortners.
In Uiis couuection, it uttbrds us pleasure to
state, that Judge Cabaniss is wiiinmg golden
opinions from men of all parlies, by the uui
lurtu dignity and ability which have, thus far,
marked his official career. -Journal d Mrs.

We think itisabout time to again put the following
good story in circulation:
A country gentleman, several years ago, vi>ited
Boston and immediately repnirt d to the house of a
relative, a lady who had married a merchant. The
parties were glad to see him. and invited him to make
' their house his home, ns ho declared his intention of
remaiuiug in the city bat a day or two. The hus
| band of the lady, anxious to show attention to a rela
tive and friend of his wife, took the gentleman’s horse
to a livery stable in the neighborhood. Finally, his
visit became a visitation, ami the mere han r, after the
lapse of eleven days, found, besides lodging and
boarding the gentleman, a pretty considerable bill
had run up nt the livery stable. Accordingly, he
went to the man who kepi the stable, and told him 1
when the gentleman look the hone be should pay his
bill.
Very good,’" said the slable-keejier ; I understand
you.”
Accordingly, in a short time the country gentleman
went to the stabk* and ordered his horse to Im? gut
ready. The bill us course was presented.
“Oh,” said the gentleman. “Mr. , my relative
will pay this.”
M Very good, sir,” said th? stable-keeper: please
to g*-t an order from Mr. ; it will be the same as
money.”
The horse was put up again and down went the
country fftatlawwm »o " barf, on which the
merchant kept.

Atlanta Firo Company No. 1—
TRIP TO MACON.
On Thursday night last 45 of the members
comfiosiiig this Company left Atlanta for the
city of Maeon on a pleasure excursion aud to
. participate in the celebration of the Fire De
partment of the last named city. Your humble
servant is happy to suy be constituted one of
that number. The new Engine, of course, ac
i eompanied them, and was taken as good care
I of as if she had been a piece of gold : which
' I was all well enough. The Company before
leaving home passed a very stringent set of
, Resolutions enjoining all who took part in the
I excursion, to deport themselves like gentlemen,
which we are happy to state they did to the en
tire satisfaction of all parties. If Atlanta had
I a bad name in Macon before the visit of this
I Company to their city, we are sure the deport
ment of each member was sufficient to redeem
her from the onus so undeservedly heaped up
on her : but everything went on likeclock-w. rk, I
most of the Company being men of mature '
years and discretion, who knew exactly b ow to
i behave themselves so ns not to bring reproach
; upon them us a Company or the empire city
j from which they hailed.
Leaving home as we did at 12 o'clock nt
night, it may reasonably bo expected that not
much sleeping was done on the way, as we ar-;
rived at the city of Macon the next morning at
7 o’clock, per Macon A Western Rail Road.—
i Many of the members of our company not bc-
I ing used to such jaunts, after the completion
! of our journey, when they Jiad partaken of a
I hearty breakfast prepared for them nt the La-
I nier House, wrapt themselves in the arms of
i Morpheus for an hour or two, which rendered
i them more competent to discharge the duties
i which lay before them in the evening.
On our arrival at Maeon, we were mot at ;
the Passenger Depot, by “Young America Fire '
Company No. 3,” with u full baud of Music, ■
who look possession of our Engine and escorted
us through some of the principal streets of the ■
eity to their Engine House, which had been;
selected as the place w here she could be taken
care of until the celebration commenced : then
continued their escort to the Lanier House,
our head quarters for the occasion, under the
lead of their valiant Captain Yanvalkenburg,
' wh ie we were discharged until the hour of
trial arrived. In this connection we must be
allowed to express our gratification and ap
preciation of the merit ami worth of these ex
cellent young men. They understand in a
superior degree, ami to perfection, art and
science of making their guests happy and plea
i sant under any ami all circumstances. The
I tree and easy principle is demon-tinted in cve
. rything they do. That bane to gmjd society,
. mock-modesty, is not perceptible in any of their
! actions : you feel as though you wi re one of
, them, ami had been living iu the same conunu
i uity with them all your lives. Though young
| in years, they seem to be well versed in “doing
i up the agreeable” in a inaiin r. that would do
| honor and credit to older heads. We admire
•.he name of this young company. There is
something in it that denotes a genercus, liber
al spirit—a something that seems to say “ii
you’re coining, why uon't y u come al ng”—
i a sort of disposition to do away with the old
i logy style of doing things. Young America
' all over the world are a fast people and the
members of this company are not behind t leir
confreres in other sections.
At halt past 0..e, the sound of the re
minded us that dinner was ready, and that
the hour of meeting was near at hand. Bein '-
I refreshed by a few hours furlough from duty,
j and a hearty repast we were again ready to
.all into line when the word of command was '
l given from our Captain. The time appointed 1
j lor the celebration was 3 o’clock. The tap of 1
| the drum ami the rich stiains of martial mus
ic, made hv a colored baud of musicians, as it
was waftel by a gentle breeze from street to
street, announced the fact that preparations 1
were being made for the trial of the relative 1
strength of the different Engines belonging to
the hre department, of the city. Our company '
I termed into line in front of the Lanier House,
and waited the approach of “Young America 1
’ No. 3” who marched us to their Engine house j i
when our machine was brought out with shouts j i
of “praise ami admiration,” and returned to : 1
, our former position in front of the Lanier I
i House, the place fixed by the contestant- for
the trial. Soon Fire Companies, “Protection 1
No. 1,” “Ocmulgee No. 2,” and the Hook and »
Ladder Company were upon the groiiiM ami
formed, by the chief of the File 1> partment,
into a hollow square, so that when the playing <
commenced the view could not be obstructed. <
At this stageof the proceedings our company i
were received and welcomed to the bospitali- ; ]
ties of their brethren engaged in the same laud- ]
able undertaking and the city, by G. S. Obear. t
chief, in a beautiful anti appropriate speech. ;
suited to the occasion, and the circumstances | i
I under which we were
j the anniversary of the Fire Department, and i <
the consequent desire on the part of ti e res- j
pective companies as well as many citizens,;!
that victory should perch upon one or the oth- 1 :
er of their banners, our company, although in- ,
vited declined to come into the contest, yet I
consented after they had gotten through to ,
play. Y’oung America No. 3 were first cm the ] ,
i tapis — nobly and manfully did they work— I ;
! every nerve was stiained to its utmost, (and
here let us say they are the best drilled com- |
pany we ever saw, and can work the longest !
and hardest, with the least trouble, of any set
ofboys it has been our pleasure to become ac
-1 quainted with —long may they live to do ser
vice in the fire depiirtment of our s stcr city.)
The result was 187 feet 11 inches. Company
No. 1 played 187 feet 1-2 inch, ami No. 2, 184
feet 10 1-2 inches—all doing their level best, j
It was amusing to see friend Bloom upon I
the top of his Engine with his trumpet; al
though bis body was not engaged in the exer
cise, bis labors were onerous aud heavy—nev
er have we seen any man manifest so much
solicitude in the success ot his cause as he did.
He is said to be a nice gentleman, and we have j
no reason to doubt it. He is exceedingly j
; courteous ami affable in his manners, ami car, (
ries all the marks of an aecumplished and pol
ished gentleman in his lace. The play being
over between the companies of the city, our
machine was brought into service under very
unfavorable auspices, especially us there was
i but very little water in the cistern. The oth
er companies played through 1 t.o • feet hime ; we
. only had 50 leet. In consequence of our suc
tion pipe not being covered with water and
. the delect caused by the bursting of our hose
. iu the first attempt, we w.ere unable to do jus
tice to uurselve.-. TheAoscofNo. 3 was at
tached to our Engine, when our boys pulled
doiru, and succeeded in throwing only 182 feet
and lett the field, not mortified, but satisfied
that that was the best uuder the ciicuiustances
they could do. ’1 bus ended the trial for the
time being. We were then marched in con
nection with the fire department of the city,
to the Rail Bond Passenger Itejiot where a
rich colUliou of everything good and pullata
bte bad been prepared und spread upon 4 long
tables for our relre»hmeiit. Several speeches
were uuele mid sentimeuts offered in cum

I supply of our own hose, determined, it possi
ble the next day to give our Engineufair trial.
The hose came—we made the effort with brave
hearts and strong arms and succeeded in play
ing 201 feet 2 inches, clearly showing that the
advantages the evening before w ere against us.
Though we were in the end some 13 feet ahead of
our co-lnborers in the beautiful city of Macon.
; we do not consider it a triumph—for we were
not competitors for the mastery. Our only
aim and object was to redeem our fallen po
sition.
For the very hospitable manner in which we
wore received and entertained by the citizens
generally of Macon, we return our warmest
' thanks, hoping that ere long we shall receive
. a visit in return tfom her very efficient fire de
, partment.
The time having arrived, when we should
take our departure, “ Young America, ” “ true
blue” tu the last, again escorted us to the cars
I in company with several officers of the other
Companies. With our Engine safely deposited
’ on a car reserved for us, we left for home mi
ller the deafening shouts of hurras for the Rail
Road city and her firemen.
We cannot close this article without return
ing our thanks to the officials of the Macon A
\\ estern R. R., particularly, the worthy Sti-
I perintendant, for having a Uar designated for
i our special benefit. These acts of kindness
l will Jong be remembered bv us.
I *
I'o Conductors Elyea and Hull; would we in
’ an especial manner, return our most sincere
and heartfelt thanks, for their kind attention
to our many wants, both going and returning.
With such Conductors, we wish always to
travel. They aro gentlemanly, courteous and
kind, to all who take passage with theiff.—
( May the Road and its Conductors be prosper
j ous iu all their undertakings. •
Atlanta Fire Company No. 1, will long rc
i member this trip to her sister city. It will be
j looked to as an oasis in life's great jourr.ev,
not easily forgotten—a green spot in the his
i tory ot the past which is pleasant to refer to
| —an event surrounded with so many pleasent
; associations that time alone can efface it from
our memory.
We are glad to have it in our power to sav
that our Company, one and ail, demeaned
toeniselves like gentlemen, nothing having oc
curred during the w holo trip, to disturb or
destroy that social and good feeling which ex
isted before we took onr departure. Much
credit is due our noble Captain, and his sub
ordinates for this result. May the Company
alwiiy s so act as to keep and mamtain the good
name which they SO deservedly have,al this
time. So mote it be,
HODGE.
The Trial at Washington.
Ibe bicklcs’ trial grows in Hieiodrainic in
terest as it proceeds, as the reader of the
sayings and domgs of yesterday will see.—
“ Bursts ot applause*’ occasionally enliven the
play. Cuuiisvl at one time quite lost their
temper, and, forgetful of the proprieties of the
occasion, left oil’ their “ law, aud tell to abus
ing one another.
Thursday, George D. Wooibridgc being on
the stand, a question arose as to Hie admissi
bility of his declaration about the u-lulte-rv,
made to Mr. Sickles on the Saturday before
the murder.
Mr. Stanton made a strong appeal, in the
course ot which he alluded to the thirst for
blood displayed by the prosecution.
Mr. Ouid made a personal reply.
Mr. Stanton rejoined, saying that be did
not know, nor did he ever w ish to know, Mr.
Quid.
At this remark there was a burst of applause
and stamping ot feet throughout the room. It
is the first quarrel or applause that k-.s occur
red during the trial.
Mr. Ould replied to Mr, Stanton, and was
severely personal in his response. He called
Mr. Stanton a “bully” and a ” bruiser,” ami
dee.ared that be scorned the disreputable rant
of that counsel.
Mr. Stanton sat by looking thunderbolts at
him.
Vt lien Mr. Ould had concluded. Mr. Stanton
rejoined. He said he would not, be drawn
aside by a personal conflict. He knew not the
public prosecutor, and after the language he
had used he would not know him. (Great ap
plause over the Court room )
The Court ruled out Mr. IVool bridge's state
ment to Sickles, on the ground that it was not
evidence tending to prove insanity.—. Vic ) 07.
Repress.
Mr. Stanton said that lie scorned the ac
quaintance ot the District Attorney after the
exhibition lie bad made.
There was tremendous applause at this re.
mark, and great excitement amen • the crowd.
It required the w hole force of the police to re
store some degree of order.
When Mr. Stanton sat down he was quiver
ingin every limb with passion.
The Judge commanded that order be pre
served.
Mr. Ould left the room at the end of half an
hour, and it is said that he will challenge Mr.
Stanton. The excitement continued among
the spectators for some time.
Mr. Carlisle continued the discussion of the
point raised in a calm manner, and disinterest
ed auditors think he completely overthrew Mr.
Stanton’s position.— ('.>rr■spamlm I’hiladil

Fkost. —There whs a heavy frost yu. ter I?;, t; ru
ing, and we learn that tender garden vegetation w.-.s
nipped by it. The thermometer out of d<»«»rs marked
33 at sunrise—-ju.’t one degree above the i< <‘
mark. As the weather had been dry for a couple of
days before, this frost may not have killed the corn,
which is generally up ; and we suppose that there is
almost every where a good ••stand” of cotton yet un
der ground—only a little being up. Thu lrv.it gen

A cn ' of e me ir’erest to ths theatrical
i profession was decided in New York Friday. Il
i f •ems that, in Augn.-t last, Mada.xcr Burton engaged
a certain Mr. J;.’:us Canoil t« play at his theatre for
the cnsuii ; Lid and x inti r .< ••< n, ala salary of
twenty-five dollar per week. Alter playing for five
I weeks, anti i»» to tl.e secund nay of October, the the
atre wa. suit :.’y cb < 1, and Mr. Canull discharg
ed. The question at i.-tue related to tLe signification
I of the term ‘’fall and winter season.” os applied to
i theatrical engagements. 1• r the plaintiff, Messrs.
Cunoll, Blake. Denman, Dyott, Chippendale, Fisher,
D.ividgc, ; n l Bland, an 1 ?!’.-> .Mary ?»fi!!er, alloccu
-1 pyiiig var us pcs'. Juns in the dramatic world, testi
: tied that the term ‘•fa’.! and winter season” posses
ses a posi.'.xe and definite import amongst the mem
ber* of th* ir j i > e- si<»n. and that it was understood to
embrace a period !>. tween the first of September and
the middle of June. On the other hand, Messrs. Bur
ton. Fux, W. A. M>»r\ Olwyne, Eddy, and John
Moore, u tors and managers, affirmed, in sub
i stance, that t’a? ta? term was scarcely ever used. and.
when employed, was nut recognised as covering the
period of time indicated by the witness fur the plain
tiff. The Judg held that the weight of evidence was
in favor of the p -Ition assumed by the plaintiff
that the term “fall aud winter season” embraces a
p. ri •<! of about forty weeks, bogining on or about the '
first of September, and Mr. Burton has, therefore, to
pay Mr. Cam Il’s weekly sala.y up to the 16lh day of
March la.-1.

' j Important Case.—The suit which has for
1 the lust two days occupied the attention ot the
r Circuit Court of the United States, in this city,
I was yesterday brought to an unexpected ter
r i mination, before the completion of the exam
r ination ot a single w ituess.
f The suit having been brought on an assign-

the defendant, that, notwithstanding the con- 1
>' veyance of all outstanding claims fur damages
I to the assignee, proof could not bo offered of
infringmcnl" prior to the date of the instru
ct merit, and there being no witneM then in Court
. testily iiifclu subsi qiieiit inti ingments. thecoun-
i sei for the plaintiff preferred submitting a non-

MEXICAN MT’STANG LINIMENT.
Intrinsic virtue alone could insure the success
which this article has attained-for Rheumatism,
Salt Rheum, Burns, Bruises, Stiff Joints, or Galds, j
Sprain, Pole Evil, and Swellings upon Horses, it has I
no equal for Man or Beust. No person will be with* "
out it who has once tested its value. “And with '
reference to the general estimation of the Mustang I
Liniment, I can cheerfully say that no article ever '
performed so many cures in our neighborhood as
this. L. W. Smith. Rid’gfleld, Conn.” S. Leitch, j
Esq., Hyde Park, Vt., writes, “that the horse was

the free use of the Mustang Liniment I have sold him
for $l5O. Your Liniment is doing wonders up here.”
Such testimony is reaching us every day. The half '

of imitations. The genuine Mustang is sold by all
respectable dealers throughout the world.
