There is a mysterious boom in
_ ..Confederate bonds in Charleston
S. C. Large amounts were sold
last week at $6.60 per $1,000.
Tho order came Dorn Amster-

Luther Benson, the eloquent
temperance advocate, who lectured
in Amcrieus last winter, has been
nominated for Congress by the
Demooracv of the sixth oongres
sional district of Indiana.
The Savannah Hem sayet “It
Is evident that the democrats of
-Georgia cannot afford to be apathe
tic or over confident. Democrats
should aronso themselves to a sense
of dnty,and on the eleotlon day go
to the polls and sustain the nomi
nees of the party. 1 '
The New York Times Is so angry
over Jay Hubboll’s conduct that it
-says: “It has beoome an impera
tive question whother decent re
publicans can get rid of Hubbell-

ty. If thoy cannot they will
most certainty abandon the repub
lican party.”
eulates that the Republicans will
have from 135 to 145 and the Dem
ocrats 130 to 135, while it takes 163
to make a clear majority, leaving
the balance of power In the hands
of Independents, if these calcula
tions are near right, it should be
an incentive to the Democrat! of
the Soath to put forth every eflort
to elect straight-out Demoorats to
Congress, for In that way only can
the Democrats hope to secure con
trol of the Douse. An independent
candidate is bound by no party,
ties or pledges, and hi* action in
the organization of the House can
not be equated upon. It is tooof-
ten the case that be takes advantage
of his independent position to make
the best bargain he can for himself
in the distribution of patronage or
place upon im|mrtnnt committees.
There is only one way to scenrc a
Democratic majority iu the House,
and that is for all Democrats to
stand solidly together in support
of the regular nominees.

It is almost impossible to cnin
any kind of news you may desire
from the bulk of contradictory tel
egrams dally received. At one
time we have a desperate engage
ment with no loss on otic side ex
cept one man wounded, while the
other sido suffered terribly. A few
days afterward comes the report
that the reputed sutlers had the
best ol the fight nnd counted
their slain opponents by thousands
Then you have Arab! retreating
and intrenching and asking for ar
mistices. The cablegrams would
puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to do.

A Northern exohango 1s fair
enough to say that “when Southern
journal* retort upon fat-witted
Northern uowspapers which held
Garland, the acquitted duelist to
tie a fair type of Southern chivalry,
that William Sprague, the law de
fying defendent of Canouohet, is a
fair sample of Northern manhood,
it mutt be admitted that they have
by far the best end of the argu
ment.”
Judge llarrell, Independent can
didate for Congress, having an.
uounced that he would address the
people at Lumpkin on Tuesday next
over a hundred oilizens of Stewart
county united in a request to Col.
E. G, Simmons, or this city, to
speak on the same day in behalf of
of Judge Crisp. The Col. bos ac
cepted, and will nuke the people a
ronsing speech on that day.
At last the agricultural classes
have bad a hearing before the
Tariff Commission! On Rondsy
last Hiram Sibley, of Rochester,
N. Y., who is represented as being
the largest farmer In the world, ap
peared before thatbody. Of course
he was opposed to protection, as
the agricultural classes, under a
protective system, have to con
tribute largely to advancing the
fortunes of others, and get no
benefits in return. With very few
exceptions he advocated the aboli
tion of import duties on all flower
and vegetable seeds. He might
also have reasonably requested the
abolition of duties on machinery
and Arming implimeuts and on
the material orwhich|they are com
posed. It is greatly to be hoped
that the commission will not whol
ly ignore the righto of the Armen
of the country, even if it was pack
ed for the purpose of insuring more
protectior.. * -

FROM STEWART.
JoHNPufeviu.K, Aug. 38, ’82.
Asa great many pcoplo don't seem
to know where the ville is located, I
will try to tell them as near as I
can where it is. Many think it in
Webster county, but it is not, it is
in Stewart county, on the Lump
kin and Dawson road, four miles
northwest of llurdmonoy, one milo
from the Webster line; about half a
milo from public roads. Auy one
desiring to visit the place, call by
for tno and 1 will take much pleas
ure In carrying you over.
We had a line rain on Saturday
morning last, which was'greatly
needed by cotton, peas, potatoes
and turnips.
The early planting of cotton this
year arc much better lltnn those
later. Some of my neighbors laugh
ed at me last *priug for planting
cotton ill the winter, but 1 uiu do
ing the smiling now, ami they are
vory sorry they didn’t plant sooner.'
The meeting at Weston closed
Friday by adding twenty new
members to their list. Tho meet
ing would have lasted longer, but
the preachers had to close in or
der to meet their regular appoint
ments. Tho Rev. Mr. Merritt, ol
Marion county, preached at Wes- j

the particulars of Rev. Mr. Bin

closed or not.

faithfully. 'As to our Senator from
the 13th, we are anxious to know
who Webster will trot out for the
honors. Mr. James P. Walker, of
Webster, would make a good one,
and we would like very much to
see him nominated. The fricuds
of Judge Crlep are happy, now he
has been nominated. Stewart will
give the Judge a big majority, but
ob, how sorry we are to give him
up as our Judge. Who will be our
next is the ebat of the day. Some

Washington, August 2!
tain Alfred Hopkins, comma
the navy yard at Pensacola, FlorL
da, has informed the acting secre
tary of the navy that the yellow,
fever is spreading in Pensacola,
and that precautions are necessary.
Superintendant Hardahan, of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad-at
New Orleans, to-day received a
communication from Dr. Joseph
Jones, president of the board of
health, saying: “You are hereby
prohibited from bringing any cats,
passengers, merchandise oy bag
gage from Pensacola within the
state of Louisiana.” Owing to
the prevalence of yellow fever in
Pensacola, the secretary of war has
given orders for the transfer troops
at Fort Unrancas, off Pensacola, to
Mount Vernon barracks, near
Mobile. The navy yard at Pensa
cola will he practically closed in a
few days. Birmingham, Ala., has
quarantined against Pensacola on
account of the yellow fever, com
mencing to-morrow.
TIIK I'KSTir.KNGK IN NEW ORLEANS.
New Ohleanh, August 29.—At
the meeting of the Auxiliary Sani
tary a mailer of business cauie up
illustrative of the intelligence and
zeal ot Hint body in dealing with
the question of public health. The j
French ship lie Martha, built of t
wood, 11 years old, after lying 47 |
days at Colon, where one of her I
crew died of congestion of the'
brain, set sai! for New Orleans on j
June 4. The lie Martha arrived at
the Mississippi quarantine station,
with a crew of 18 persons—17
whites and 1 negro—at 9 p. m.,
June 16, and left there at 8 a. m.,
June, 18, arriving at the wharf at
the head of Knghein street early
on. the morning of June 19. Her
sole cargo consisted of 309 tons of
old iron, which was not discharged.
On June 20, 21 and 22, her ballast,
which consisted of about 100 tons
of porus dark stone, obtained pre
sumably from the inlected part of
Colon, was discharged This bal
last was piled up on the levee at
the bend of Eughein street, and on
or about July 16th, was bought by
the city. From that date portions
of the stone were used to repair tho
streets. By far the larger quanti
ty, however, remained on the levee
until August 16, and 17, when tho
administrator of improvements had
it removed nnd thrown into the
Mississippi river. Precautionary
disinfection of the ballast and that
area of the levee whereon it had
been deposited was carried on un
der the auspices of the sanitary as-:
sociatiou, and where portions of it
was found on the streets, the sani
tary officers thoroughly applied
disinfectants. The first case of
yellow fever that appeared in New
Orleans this season was reported
June 22d, at the corner of Knghein
'street and the levee, less than 100
ynrds from the ballast pile, and
two other cases ol officially declar
ed yellow fever subsequently ap
peared in the immediate vicinity.

“Whether they do it now or in the
future, the colored people of the
South will turn to the Democratic
party for the protection which the
Republican party has shown itself
powerless to extend. Surroun’ded
on all bands by Democratic senti
ment, Democratic interests, they
will certainly see it to their interest
to break off an alliance which
prove* a drawback to them, as a

best terms possible with his victori
