The Earning! of a Lift Time Bwept Away. 1 OnlyThrre Dollars and ninety centa loft. The Biggest Thing in the Criminal i Records of Georgia etc. etc. i T <ll5OO Ilowurjl, i y Just after we went to presa last week, news reached this office of the perpe tration of tho most stuperiduoiia crime against property, that has ever occurred r ' in the annals of Georgia’s criminal rec i ord, perpetrnted within our own borders. 1 About 9 o’clock on Tuesday night, July 27th, five masked men drove up to 1 the residence of Handy Wilkes, about 1C miles north-eaat of this place, with a mule and wagon. Forcing everyone on tho premises, except old Handy Wilkes, . into the house, after searching it, for arms, as was supposed, they locked them in. Theu one of the party took uuclti Handy in tow, and marched him to , the rear of the house,and made him stand | with his hack to the honso, guarding him with cocked gun. In tho front yard stood a small house used hy Handy Wilkes as a doctor shop, i In that shop 6tood a money safe belong ing to ('. A. Mosely, one of Montgom ery county’s heaviest tax payers. In that safe, securely locked, calmly reposed the | hard earningsof a longlifo—six or seven thousand dollars in money, besides tho ; title papers to all his lands, and a large amettutof notos, accounts and other val uables. Report sttys that Handy Wilkes hud nbont tho same amount of money in the safe, and that his sou had several r thousand dollars in it—making fifteen . or eighteen thousand dollars in cash that tho sufe contained, if reports be trne. The snfo whs quickly, though not hur riedly, but upon the coutrary very de liberately, lifted, by the four burglars, into tho wagon. Then Handy Wilkes was forced into the house, tho door re loekod, tho inmates of the house warned not to come out ’till next morning, and the pnrtv drovo away with their rich prize. Next morning a party of the neigh bors started in pursuit. The wagon wax easily tracked, as it bad rained that night and the gronud was soft. They followed it without difficulty, as it kept tho road, going in the direction of Long Fond, which is seven tniiea south of Alt. Vernon. At I,ong F oud it hit the main road and took a settlement road, for a half mile or so, theu wound its siutt ons way through the woods hack to the public road, ntid down that to the rest- ! donee of Tob Mozo, beyond which it could not bo traced. In Mozo’s lot was found a one-horse wagon, hut uo trace of tho safe. Mozo was arrested, hut feigned drunkenness, throwing the officer oft’ his guard, and made good his <<sonpo Thursday night. A mule was found that was supposed to be the one that pulled tho wagon. It was iu the possession of N. Is. Gibbs. Ho was nrrestod, and promptly gave bond for his appearance ut the com mitting trial,which was set for Mouday Aug. 2nd. Mr. Mosely has offered a reward of a thousand dollars for the recovery of tho safe and its contents, aud five hundred for the arrest of Mozo and his delivery i to the sheriff of Montgomery county. | Theso facts added fuel to the excitement 1 which wuh already at fever heat, and j little else has been spoken of by our ex cited populace for now over a week. Mr. Mosely, though a man of wealth, is left iu a sorry plight, three dollars and ninety cents being all the ready cash tho burglars left him. His credit, however, | is good, and he enn raise as much money as ho wants, and tho reward of £SOO will be paid promptly, upon Mozo’s arrest. On Monday, when the ease vs Gibbs came up for trial at Long Pond, defend ant asked lor a coutiuuuuoe to a future day, for luck of his counsel Col. B. B. Cheney, who failed to put in an appear ance. Tho state was represented by j Carswell .v Sutton, and as soiuo of tire witnesses for tho prosecution were gone 1 to Savauuah, and would not be back tin- j, dor a week, the case was continued tiu- j. til next Wednesday, the defendant being i under good bond iu the meantime, i. m ■ , CORRESPONDENCE.

Al’isci Wo :•>» 2\ ■; ai 18-mi Mcßride, In my rejoinder to W. H, Mcßride. JI must say that I am surprised at my friend Bonnie, both in the tenor and composition of his piece. I am ptr buuded to believe tliat had he not taken the advice of Worldly Wiseman, aud on the summit of an impulse at that, he never would have consented to publish such a piece over his signature. It seems to me that no one bnt an adept in ! error would have pushed the pen, to ex press such language against the cause of the higher life which was purchased by the blood of the Redeemer. One so young as he, seemingly so gentle, so no ble, so respectful, could never, in my judgment, have transcended equal to one “dyed in iniquity.” lam not alone in this tydief, for not a few of his Christian friends, both rnnle and female, ex ptessed the same. Our hearts are sad , dened, our souks made sick, for fear[t£iat, . after all we may be mistaken in his , possessing the God-given graces that we | thought wo observed iu him. But since . there is a ray of hope, I shall treat the subject both from a human and Divine standpoint. I did not kuow that he i claimed to be a weak saint, orj[a strong I one either, for I have no knowledge that i he ever made a public profession of the i same, therefore if he had read the Scrip , lure carefully as he says ho did, he surely • would have seen the lesson I desired [ to inculcate was upon the strong iu faith ; to bear with ns, the weak, because we i conscienciously looked upon it as a sin. I But since he intimated that ho desired to be cited to some scriptures, I will do so, and think they will bo conclusive 1 to any seeker after truth. We find this recorded in Gal. v. chapter, bogiuing with the 19th verse: “Now the works of the flesh arc manifest, which are. these: ndultry, fornication, unclennness, las civiousness, idolotry, witch-craft, hatred, vurience, emulation, wrath, strife, sedi tion, heresies, envyiugs, murders, drunk enness, ravelling* and such like.” The curnal, the human, cau’t see how these things w ill keep any ono from seeing the kingdom of God. Bet us look at the word revelling. What does it mean? Webster, iu his unabridged, defines it as “feasting with noisy merriment.” Now, will feasting (eating) with noisy merriment, he more damning than uoi6y merriment with music, which lead to lasciviousness aud debauching? The 2nd verso of the sumo chapter says: “But tire fruit of the .Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, tempertince;agninstßDch there is no law.” Now if there-is no harm ’iu dancing, is there any good in it? Is it ouo of tbc fmitn of lilt* * Again: I. Fetor, iv:3—6. “For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrong in tho will of the gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, bauquetings aud abominable idolatries; wherein they think it strange that yo ruu not with them to the same excess of riot, speak ing evil of you; who shall give account : to Him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might bo judged accord- i ing to men in the flesh, but live accord ing to God in the Spirit.” Again, 11, j Cor. vi:l7. “Wherefore, come out from I among them, and be ye separate, saith j tho Lord, and touch uot the unclean : thing; and I will receive you.” Grand success! Perhaps so. Doubt- ] loss Beltcshuzzur thought his feast was n success, until the handwriting appeared upon the wall. “Mene, inene, tekel uphar * in;" the interpretation of which will be fotiud iu Dan. v. “Aud uo ono seemed i to bo surprised.” I kuow to the con-; trary, for several have expressed them- j selves to the contrary to me. I think' : tliero must be a reform in regard to frolic-1 ing iu this place, for there has not been any here in several mouths at auy oue’s I house, and I have hoard several express ' themselves on this wise, and this is why ; I wrote as I did. Yes, my dear friend, kiud Providence has always, and is still, : allowing me a “livelihood” but as to my , , early tracks ou the sand of time, I have ; | many regrets aud much remorse; for no , j longer ago than on the *2Btu nit, ovor at j j Bhiloh, I uiot two ladies who associated | j their first recollection of me at a dancing I party, aud I felt so ashamed that I beg- ! j ged them to try and remember me only ; in connection with the S. S. Association, j or my humbler life. Yes, I did roam i from our Father’s house, whero there was plenty and to spare, to teed upon the husks which were ouly intended for j the swiue. But all the gaity aud mirth - of a froliciug life did uot, aDd could uot, ! fill the aching void for happiness. Bnt; ou the contrary, each time I indulged led ; me further aud further from God. which only can satisfy tho soul. If I had con tinued to follow this course, it might, : ero now, have been said, “Ephraim is j joined to his idols; let him alone.” HoseaU iv:l7, “For there is a place, j we know not where, for there is a time, | we kuow uot when, that a man’s destiny is scaled for one of the wide extremes, i - Heaven cr hell.” Many indulge, few re-' i turn and then lament their past life. 't This is why I have warned you to “avoid I the very appearance of evil.” so that t yon. if permitted to live to repent ia as- < ter life, can’t say it was “through igno- ! 1 r.it .c that v »•? ns'lc i .-.a the 1 nr-iw; 1 • i coals of bell,” nor that your blood will be required at my bauds. Ezekiel xxxiii:B. Thee 7 “0 prodigal, don't rtay awayl The Father is waiting to-day; ‘ j There is room and to spare, i There is raiment to wear. , O prodigal, don’t stay away!” » In all caudor, my friend, we don’t see, i (and this includes more than the writer) t that your feelings are as refined, for i Christians and religions exercises, as yon . would have us believe, or you weuld Dot f invite them to attend a dancing frolic in 7 the name of a picnic, you konwiDg their > 1 feelings upon it, much less suffering - work done on yonr platform just in 7 front of the church, while a man of God > was in the sacred desk. As to remain i ing neutral, I think we “ought to obey i God, rather than men.” Acts v;29. In conclusion I address the members - ! of Christ’s church, of every name, of our , common father of a common family, to h consider yonr solomn oaths before God ) and many witnesses, that you would keep » the rales of the church that you have ; identified yourselves with; and none that 3 I know of, but forbid dancing. 'Where, > j then, do you stand when you break these ; obligations? Why the world has less t j confidence in you than in itself. My . brother, my sister, how do you know that . I it will not soon be, or perhaps has boon already, said, “Cut it down, why cum- I bareth it the ground.” Luke vii:7. , “For if the salt have lost its savor, where . withal Shall it be salted: it is henceforth | good for nothing but to be cast out and I trodden under foot of men.” Matt, v: 1 13. May the good Lord add his bless , ing? to all whom this letter may concern, I j for Christ’s sake. , Rough-A-Rkady. i Hack Branch. Ed.

The weather is exceedingly warm at this time, and somewhat dry, to what it has been. Crops are considerably dam* ' aged by winds and rains, but I think there will be morecorunnd cotttonmade than the farmers at one time thought. Hack Branch neighborhood seems to be on a boom. We have two brick man ufacturing companies about ready to be gin to make brick. We have a good Sabbath Scbool at Hack Branch. Prof. Fleming commenced a writing , school nt the school house this morning. Tho boys about Hack Branch speak of hnving a picnic or a fish-fry at McAr thnr’s Bluff, as soon as the river gets low enough. Go ahead, boys; we like to eat fish, and see the young people en joy themselves. I would like to hear from A. 0., from Hack Branch and from across the creek again. Pompy. Masonry. Ed. Monitor:—l closed my last with the professor, nndfor the sake of variety I propose to review a little. • R)bt. Burns, says, i "Straight from his homo, You candidate comes, Prepared all for the occasion. Os all that can harm, | Wo will him disarm, That he may nowise harm, A froo Mason,” Such are facts, and to know, is practical truth. As masonry is as old as man, and originated in the mind of Adam, descended pure through the nntedcln viau ages, was afterwards taught by . Ham, Enoch, Jonathan, David, Solomon. ! Zerubabel, and others, flowed down through pollutions, bigotry, nnd euper | stition, to our day. The old book says the wise hearted, were employed in tho construction of the Tabernacle of Moses. A representation of every well governed and truly organ ised Lodge, tbe Temple at Jerusalem, was perhaps the best model. At this gate the apprentice knocks. Old history , gives us many points, it says the festival |by tho Greeks, nt PlaUea iu honor of Jupiter Elenthei'ius; the assembly was | ormed of delegates. This, I believe, was tbe first assembly of delegates, they were chosen, from tho wise hearted, j T’lio old record, (iu my possession) says masons “know tbe way of gaining an un derstanding of Abrac .” The true mean ing of this word I am at a loss to know; j perhaps it may moan Abriurir, a name | j given by tbe religions sect of Basilides, | ;to God. This sect flourished in the time of Adrian, and Abrnc may mean Ahra- Sim, or Abrgxas the s/ipren,f God. Tbe value, or numerical distinction., of the word Abraxas makes the number 365, as all good Greek scholars know. The word was engraven on precious stones aud worn by tho Balsidea as a gem, the virtues of which were considered a pro tection of tho Deity. There is a drawing in tbe British musenm, of a gem deposited there; tbe engraving is on a beryl stone, of the form of an egg. The bead is in eoDes, the I reverse in taglio. This is said to repre- > sent the Creator, under the denomina tion of Jupiter Ammon. And we have the Osiris and Isis of the Egyptians, un der tbe same figure; and these represent j • hieroclyphicaliy, ommi-ot'-’- , in that drawing, seems to be U6ed only as a point; yet it is an emblem of Pru dence, and was represented as the third emanation of the Basdidian divine per son; the scorpion, malice and wicked subtility; the serpent a heretic. Tbe moral seems to be that heresy, the voice of infidelity, and tbe devotees of satan, were subdued by a knowledge of tbe true God. There may be some doubts as to the true meaning of some of the above repre sentations, as authors differ as to them. Yet I hold these to be the most reason able. It is well known that ancient divines compared the moon to the Christian cburch. They compared JcsusChrist to the sun, and the church to the moon as receiving all its beauty and splender from him. The Basilidians, and the Grostic Hier archy, suppose a multitude of Thacons (deities.) Begining with Abrncas, they proceeded to their Primogeneal mind, thence to Logus, thence to Phronasis, thence to Sophia and Dynamis. From these last, meaning wisdom and strength, proceeded Principalities, Powers and ADgels, and from these other Angels, amounting to 365, these were supposed to govei nus m any celested orbs. (About I the Primogenial mind and tbe Logus, I may hereafter say a few words). The Gnostics, were a sect of Chris tians, possessing a very peculiar tenet of faith, nnd the name was understood to mean, new knowledge and extraordinary light. This induces me to believe that the Hierarchy of the primitive Christian church, consisted of several orders of men, Rulers, Believers aud Catechumens, or apprentices. These were veiled be fore they were admitted. After admis sion it was customary to touch their ears, saying, “be opened.” I will, for the present, pass over the antiquities of the Druids of Gaul, and other soeietios of similar merit, having said enough, I think, to convince the most skeptical. Kind reader, you may think the most of this is a degression from my starting point, bnt not so. Every emblematic principle (though veiled in allegory,) is illustrated at the initiation of each candidate. It is a strange fact, that many persons are entered, passed aud raised, in our order, and live consistent so-called mem bers, that never lenrnod the masonic se cretofthe first degree in masonry. They go swelling about among men, saying “I am a mason,” while in truth they do not know our secret, and nothing but the apostacy of the age would tolerate such. In this age, when every thing serious is received with laughter, every thing truly religious, istreuted with con tempt, and pure morality spurned from the doors of the polite, and where Truth, Honor, and Integrity, are at a discount, is it any wonder that we have such mn e.ous? Echo fuils to answer. Respectfully, Resendie. The Democratic Executive Committee of Montgomery county met last Satur day July 31st. and determined not to have any primary election except iu the event the chairman shall deem it neces ary for some occasion arising before the election in which case he was authorized to call the committee together for con sideration of the question.
