The Sweet Potato —Mr. Dowse Brad
well, writiug to the ninesrille Gazette, thus
speaks of a variety of sweet potato known
as ibe ‘‘Providence.” This is said to be so
excellent that it bids fair to corns into more
general use than any other kind :
This variety ol the potato, the origin of
which is remarkable, deserves some notice.
A missionary among the Indians io the
Everglades found a potato vine in an old
field. From this single vine he obtai ed
potatoes enough to subsist upon, UDd small
ooes for seed. These he gave to a friend,
and in that way the potato was int oduced.
Mr. M. assures us that from five potatoes
Ibirty bushels were gathered the firs’, season,
in six weeks from the time they are planter!

obtained. V\ beu new, the taste is very sim
/mr to tue old yam, being very s»e<tand
«teti(ute ol ibe tar.o/ »tu> rtlfr „
u Thc Apotheosis of Murder.”
Undpr this head a Northern paper prints
an admirable article on great crimes and
criminals—showing that instead of being
regarded by the people with terror, these
criminals and their nets possess a fascinating
Dower that causes them to become heroes.
It also gives the remarks of one Rev. Mr
Dickerson daring the delivery of u sermon,
in which the speaker stated that he had vis
ited Christine’Cox. the marderer of Mrs.
Hull, and “thal he was forced to say that
Cox was not nnderstood by the public,” The
pr acher then added the following, which
addenda will form the foundation of our re
marks i
“My friends, that man stands alone. The
people who come to see him are those who
come out of curiosity, and care nothing for
the soul that is so soon Io he ndiered into
the presence of the Almighty Cox has
gone to the Fa'her of all, and pleaded for
pardon through the Suviour. He has received
that pardon and is saved. * * * His
seeming intliffirence to his impending fate is
the God-given consciousness that when hi
earthly career is done he will lie taken into
the kingdom o( the merciful Father, who
never forgets the promises He has made to
erring souls. He seems happy because he is
happy, because his soul has been washed
clean by the blood of the Lamb.”
Our sentimeut* to a nicety, with this un
important difference—we do not believe any
thing of (be sort. Now, we must not he
misundcTltood. ‘The blood of the Lamb”
can wash away all sio The foulest can be
made clean. The ‘'chief ol sinners’’ can be
regenerated and made pure. Every man
and woumo who humbly kneels at the foot
of the Cross muy obtain the forgiveness of
sin. And this applies to all alike—the rich
and the poor, the high aud the low—und we
thank God for it.
Admitting nil this, however, and a good
deal more should it be necessary, we ate not
by any means prepnred to believe that every
man who mukes loud professions and utters
boisterous or rehemeot declarations of piety,
change of heart and all that, ig one whit
better off thun the man who lies down and
shuffles ofl this mortal coil quietly, without
sayings word. No; it is hurd to believe
that all are guiltless, and have entered into
newness of life. It is butrl to believe that
every murderer is innocent, nor can it he
reconciled to truth that the hundreds of
blood-stained criminals whose hands are
reeking with innocent blood, should all at
once, when brought face to face with the
pillory or the gullnws, suddenly shout glory
to God. In many cases it is mockery. In
very many instances it is a feeling born of
fear, or remorse, or an utter recklessness as
to Consequences.
Again—we give vent to our credulity in
this, that if the evidence of these criminals
have weight, not one of them has failed of a
place in Paradise—every one has gone
straight to Abraham’s bosom True, as we
have soid, the ‘ blood of the Lamb” is all
sufficient, atid yet when the whole nmtler is
looked at in its true light it will be peen
that a large amount of moral force most be
brought to bear upon the shudder of inno
cent blood ere he can be prepared to enter
the kingdom, especially with a good stout
rope dangling from his neck. Our faith in
such professions is lamentably weak.
Lastly. The history of this man Cox is
precisely that of every other villain. He
killed Mrs. Hull for money, (as he himself
says,) was captured, tried, convicted and
sentenced to die. He feels no interest in
the matter, having obtained "peace.” All
he had to do was to make known his desires
to his Maker, and this atrocious wretch, who
murdered an innocent woman iu oolrl blood
for a pair of ten dollar ear-drops, was forth
with forgiven for that and all other sins!
He is now saved. His guilty soul is washed,
ami he is “happy—because he is happy!”
This may be all true, but as it took a spec
ially appointed stroke of lightning to con
vert Paul, the great man of the New Testa
ment, who never killed a woman, it is our
opinion some sort of special agency should
be used to convert and save the numerous
brutes iu the shupe of men now in the pris
ons of the country, that they may ail go to
heaven aud bo eternally saved.
Coming Elections. —As a matter of news
we present below the names of the States
that will hold elections this year, and the
officers fo be voted for. These elections may
or may not be a true test of what the result
will be next year. Ricoirt these references
in some good place, and tbe reader may be
come pretty well posted :

Adjournment. —All accounts agree that

well all summer. The immense number of

Investigation Run Wild —Under this
head the Albany Advertiser presents some
thoughts th it seem eminently deserving pub
lic consideration. It says:
Wp would not like to say anything on
this subject which could he construed into a
desire on our part to suppress the fullest
□ rid freest inquiry into the official actings
and doings of nnv of our public servants, all
of which should he snhj.ct to the strictest
scrutiny at all times; still there is danger
that when oncu the ball has been set in mo
tion, even in thp right direction there may
be such a thing ns over doing the part ; and
the prospects of a little cheap notoriety pre
sents an alluring bait to some ntinds to set
on font long and expensive investigations,
destined in rnanv instances to end in noth
ing, except to give thp investigated officials
an inpregnable and unassailable character in
the futur“ —n circumstance nf which are dly
corrupt officer would not be slow to take
advantage.
An investigation of the kind recently eon
eluded in Atlanta and soon to be followed
by (our others tind"r the present resolution,
is, as it should be, a most thorough and
searching inquiry into the public and pri
vate life and conduct of the cil z n, and if
ordered without adequate grounds for su°pi
cion, it is easy to see it may become a most
invidious and even tyrannical exercise of
authority. It would be difficult for the
body in which such a resolution was intro
duced to vote it down, and the official,
whether innocent or guilty, could only bo
silent.
School Commissionkr.— Alluding to the
progress made by the committee appointed
to investigate Commissioner Orr’s depart
ment, and of which Hon. W. T. Diekin is
clinirnisD, the Atlanta Dispatch “ays :
“While tin 1 committee have made no re
port. they express themselves abundantly
satisfied with their investigations. The
truth is, they never expected to find any
thing “crooked” in that rfflee, bill desired
to find II the expenses could not be curtailed
It was said that six thousand dollars was
necessary to rut; that office, hut the com
mittee found out that only half that snui
was expended. It was nbo said that 25
per cent, of the school fund was used in
greasing the machinery, but they found out
that 7 per cent only was used, and that !)3
per cent, went to the teaching proper nf the
children. We have learned some important
tacts connected with our admirable school
system thot ut some future time we will give
onr renders. Suffice now to say the com
missioner is the right man in the right place,
and his office is the best conducted iu the
State.”
An Example ‘Go thou and do like
wise,” is on udmonitory suggestion to our
farming friends after reading tiie following :
“Mr. T Y. Pullen, of Meriwethe county,
has four ncres of bottom land from which he
expects to gather 150 bushels of corn lie
has also cotton higher than a man's head,
that laps across the rows, which are four
feet wide. He has thirty acres of cotton
hip high on an average Last year ho culti
vuted 36 acres in cotton with twomulesund
gathered 21 bales. This year he has 35
ucres and a better prospect. Best of all,
Mr. Pullen has old corn of his own rni.-iug
in his crib now. raises large crops of cotton
and buys no corn. Behold in him a futmer
with a level head,”
Thr Couriei-Jou' mil, referring to Rev.
“Adirondack" Murray, the great preacher of
Boston, says he is a “genius," but even a
“genius" cannot preach the gospel, edit a
religions newspaper, rnn a fuctory, conduct
a Sunday-school, drive fa«t horses, trade in
blooded stock, be a jockey, fish and hunt,
write books, speculate in bonanza stocks,
ride a bicycle, play base ball, billiards and
poker. The Rtverend "Adirondack” tried
to do all these things, and the inevitable
crash has come. His piety has been of too
general and miscellaneous a churaetcr.
Plantation Manners. — YVe agree with
the New York World that if a similar inci
dent to the Sprague-Colliding affair had
occurred in Georgia, a howl would have
been at once raised about the elegant pro
prieties of “plantation manners.” The cry
would have found echo all over the North
that nothing better might huve been expect
ed from rebels. But as it occurs at the
North, why it is only a “social incident.”
Such is tbe difference.
A YVisr Act—The I rouse, by a vote of
88 to 40 has refused to repeal the law
authorizing the inspection ol fertiliz re. This
is a wise conclusion. To have repealed the
law would open the door to n host of coun
terfeits that would have worked gteat harm
to our farmers.
Xotes from the ( iipitol.
Mr. Editor :—The Finance Committee
made an adverse report on the bill to relieve
Grant and Nutting of the 892 000 judgment
held against them by the State ns bonds
men of ex-Treasurer Jack Jones. This
virtually kills the bill, notwithstanding an
effort will be made to pass it over the com
mittee’s report. If private individuals go
on their fiionds’ bonds and their friends fail
to pay, the hw compels th« bondsmen to do
so. YY’liv, then, mke an exception in favor
of Messrs. Grant and Nutting? Tbe people
of Georgia cry aloud for the-pound of flesh.”
Quite an animated debate took place over
the bill “to prescribe the manner of letting
public printing ” It was hotlv argued thal,
inasmuch as the citizens of Georgia paid
the taxes, they alone should have the right
to bid for the contract On the other side,
it was be d that tbe Constitution fixed who
should hid, in the following language: “The
public printing shall be let to the lowest
legislation for tbe citizens of Georgia. If
they, living within the State, cannot com
pete successfully with contractors living
outside of tbe &tute, who would have the
additional expen*e of express to pay, we
say, tb. n, let them lose it. This was Ibe
decision of tbe Senate by a vote of 19 yea*
... I
Julgo John T. flab rnemori>iliz''s the
Legislature, or the citizens of Griffin do
through him. asking them tr> defeat the bid
to lease the Macon & Brunswick Railroad.
Because Griffin may lose a few thousand
dollars in trade on account of tbe building
of a read Irom Atlanta to Macon, which
would develop and improve thousands of
acres ar.d enhance the vatu? of real estate
from Atlanta to Brunswick, she, in all her
seKi-hness ai d disregard for the welfare ol
others, asks the General Assembly, for her
sake, not to pass this bill. For the same
reasons Forsyth is opposed to it ; but one
pleasant thought is, this opposition cannot
prevent the final passage of the bill.
When anyone wishes to know when the
Legislature will adjourn, we tell them we
scent frost in the air. Goldsmith's trial will
actually begin on the 21st instant, and
Chief Ju3tiee Warner says he would be glad
to know the trial would not take over one
month. This, you nb-erve, takes us into
the twenties in September.
The different investigating committees
have not yet struck a bonanza, though a
hope of so doing inspires them to researches

Communicated. I
Important to Ilenry County
The recent action by the Legislature on
the Macon & Brunswick Railroad bill is a
matter of material concern to a large por
tion of the people of our county. Incorpo
rated in tbe measure is a proviso for the
building of an extension branch of the said
road from Macon to connect with the West
ern & Atlantic road at Atlanta, The con
struction of such a road has been a long felt
necessity by the populous section through
which it is destined to run. In the first
place, tbe State itself needs a connecting
link lor her railroad property, and it has
been a matter of surprise to many why she
tins not effected this object long ago, with
the efficient convict labor which she had at
her command. For many years our long
sighted people have seen that it would be
obliged to be built in order to en
hance the value of property owned by the
State and covered by ber bonds. Many
suggestions have been made as to the prob
able route of the road, any one of which
will benefit Henry county some degree.
One line of survey will probably rnn down
the other side of the river, through Rock
dale, Newton and Ja-per counties, which is
by far the longest and most difficult route.
Another proposition is that the road will
run down the west bank of the river, which
will be costly nud expensive to say the least
of it, as w II be any route that is extended
by or near the Oemulgee, or crosses that
large stream of water. A suggestion has
also been made to use portions of the Geor
gia and Macon & Augu-ta roads, which if
dqpe, w iH cripple to a great extent the very
objects which are contemplated by the
movants of the bill, and c U t o ff a large
scouree of revenue to the proposed line. The
most direct and feasible route for the road
is through or near the center of our county,
running close to Jackson and by the Indian
Springs, which would greatly improve the
value of the State property known as the
“Mclntosh Reserve,” and thence on to Ma
con—such a road would be “air-line,” and
only about eighty-five mi!e9 in length. It
is hardly necessary te say that the exten
sion would open up a section as good as any
in tbe State, aud the local pationage would
greatly ussist the road, in addition to the
tnrough freights from Cincinnati to the sea
coast. The finest water-power in the South
exists on the Oemulgee between Macon ami
Atlanta, which of course will be improved
it an outlet could be obtained such us the
road offers. Not only this, but it would
give the people u direct route for their pro
duce to the Brunswick port. VY r e hope the
bill will pass as unanimously through the
House as the Senate, and tUat wirhin the
time prescribed by the proviso tbe puffing
engine with its attendant train will be seen
wheeling its way through our midst to the
CmziN.
Thb bridge across South River, at B N.
McKnighi’s mills eight miles from C-myers,
in this county, fell on Saturday evening last.
A wagon loaded with the carry-log of a saw
mill, drawn by a pair oi oxeu and a mule,
the property of B. N. McKuigbt, was cross
ing the bridge late Saturday evening, when
one span of the bridge fell, precipitating the
wagon, loud and dr ver aoool twenty-five
feet. Ibe muie was instantly killed, and tbe
driver, a negro man, ba.by, though not
fatally, injured by the mule falling on him.
Strange to say, the oxeu escaped witn
scarcely auy injury, while the was badly
damaged* I'bc bridge had been examined a

the matter, stated that the fire was still
burning, and that throughout all these
thirty-six 'ears it had never been allowed to
go out. Questioned as to whether or not it

and their children have gazed into its light.
It was the last light that fell upon the eyes
of his wife, and he hopes that it will be the
