Gkx W. 8. Hancock. — We have re ceived a copy of the civil record of Maj. Gen. W. S. Hancock, and if the authority is correct, ho is not a bad man politically. Tho following ex > tract from his order of Nov. 10, 1867, while in command in Texas and Loui siana, has tho right sound, and wo doubt if there a:c many as liberal as ho was ut that time : ‘•The right of triul by jury, tho La imas corpus, the liberty of the press, ilie freedom of speech, tho natural rights of persons, and the lights of ! property must ho preserved.” Tiif. Last of the Communes. —The secret of the great slaughter which followed the entry of tho Versailles troops into Baris, has been made pub lic. It appeal's that tho Government troops cutcred the city at several points without the least resistance. At this juncture, the Chief of the Communes offered to surrender himself and fol lowers to M. Thiers, provided the lives of the latter should bo spared, which offer was rejected. At the same time tho abovo facts wero transpiring, a Communo General attempted to pass out of Baris through the German lines, and,- was turned back. Being thus surrounded by eighty thousand French soldiers on one sido and hosts of German troops on tho other, they wero unwilling to trust to the gener osity or mercy of either, and thus maddened to desperation, the dread fid scenes of Lloodshed of w hich we uro all aware characterized tho last moments of this powerful civil strife. Attorney General Akerman lias at last let it leak out that he is incompe tent for the positsou he occupies, and his iguoranco is felt and acknowledged by his associates iu the Cabiuct? The Cincinnati Commercial's Washington correspondent writes as follows : “It is very certain that much fault is being found with tho conduct of Mr. Akerman, not only by private citizens having business with his office, but by- Mr. Akcrman’s associates in the cab inet, arising out of that officers habits of delay and procrastination. It is said that lIC materially retards tho bus iness of the Government by constantly delaying action in important eases re ferred to him, and tlial, in some in stances, largo sums have beet? lest bo cause he would not act, preferring to consign llie papers to pigeon holes, and tints avoid tho responsibility of action The fact is Akeiman is in competent, and all tho cabinet officers are convinced of it. It is said that' somo have appealed to the Govern ment, and represented that the Attor ney General is a burden which the l’resident could no longer atfoid to carry. How Gekmanv Disi oses of the War Indemnity. The German Federal Council presses to deal with tho French indemnity in tho following manner: 240,000,000 thalers are to lie appropriated to the military pen sions fund. Tho next 40,000,000 are to found a war treasure out of which to cover preliminary expenses in the event of future wars. Tho next item provides a fund for the current ex penses of the Imperial Chancellery. Fourth, the owners of captured ves sels and cargoes will be compensated according to rules specially laid down by the Council. Cities and villages damaged by bombardment aro like wise to receive compensation. Stras burg will receive 50,900,000 francs; bchlettstadt 2,500,000; Breisacli 1,900, ( 000, ■' and Thionville 3,000,000 francs. Sixthly, there will bo tint sorviccs ren dered by the Germans and Alsato-Lot haringians to the German army to re wai and, such as provisions delivered, 1 horses and wagons mpreseed, Ac. The next item is the repair and enlarge ment of the fortresses of Alsoto-Lot haringia, which are to be made al most impregnable. A 6um of 7,000,- 000 francs has been alloted to the as sistance of expelled Germans. A' con • ’dorablo amount will remain over, the ■ mto be distributed among the Ger man States, each State receiving in the proportion of tho number of men and horses supplied to thecommon ar my. 1 cltir Ik iii TT« xn». CoItS/U'AVt, TeY.l'i, ) May 24, U7l. $ Afisxrt, J.’tlilvt s :—l landed at Gal veston eu Monthly, L’th hist., and was not much phased with Galveston, be cause 1 saw less evidence of u deter mination to build up the waste places than iu any oilier place save our own t a lily city cl Culuiiibns.

From llolis ten I went by rail to Groesbuck (the present terminus of the Texas Central Ilailreud), stoj ping ut Bryan ami Cul vert, cities of iri.m four to six thous and inhabitants each and still grow ing, notwithstanding tho railroad has passed. From Houston to Groesbuck is a distance of 170 miles through the finest prairie lands 1 ever saw. There is luoie business done-in Groesbuck in one day than iu any other plaeo of liko size I, have situ iu a week. — Groesbuck six weeks ago had not a single inhabitant, as 1 am informed, and it now numbers about five tl cus andinhabitant.-, l’oiiies are worth in 'Groesbuck from sls to iio ahead, horses from SSO to $l5O ; corn is high on account of the great demand cau. ed by the large influx of iinifti grants and the extension of tho railroad, selling at SI.OO to §1.50 per bushel. From Groesbuck I took Stage, via Tohucana Hills, to Corsicana, Navarro county, where-1 now j am. This ij a flue prairie land county with a sufficiency of timber. Here I met our old friends iu boyhood, Judge Bobert L Walton and C'apt B. 11. Gregory, of Stewart co. Tip G is merchandizing and making money; Bob W. is trading generally and making money. Both of them lost money fanning when they first came cut, but have since made it nil back. They seemed about as glad to see me as I to eco them, and I assure you I was heartily glad to meet them. It is expected that the Southern Bacifie Railroad -will cross the Texas Central Railroad here; so this will he a large place. Yours in haste, S. W. Barker. The Wake oe Moumonism.—Recent accounts from Utah indicate that Mor in onimn is on tho decline. Tho influx of “Gentiles” consequent upon the completion of the Pacific Railroad and tho discovery of the rich mineral re sources of the Territory, is said to ho producing its natural legitimate clfect, and proving tho wisdom of tho policy adopted by the Government, and uni formly advocated iu this journal, of al lowing tho abuses of Munnonistn to work their own euro, rather than to in vest tho delusion with tho crown of martyrdom. In addition, tho split in tho ranks of the Latter-day Saints, known as the “Godbyite movement ’ is rapidly gaining strength among all classes of Mormons. The Godbyite started out mainly as opponents of the “one-man power’’ of Brigham Young, hut the treatment they receive from tho Mormon leaders gradually widened tho breach, until now they are regarded, and regard themselves, as out of the* pale of the church, and openly fraternize w ith tho gentiles in their hostility to Morrnon dom. Some have renounced the faith altogether, and most of them are op posed to polygamy, and to the policy of Mormon exclusiveness and non-in tercourse with the outside woild, so ri gidly insisted on by Brigham Young, rifon she young girls, it is said, openly refuse to bocomo tho third, fourth or fifth wife Ox a mormon, and avow thoir preference for Gentiles at the risk of all consequences. Merinor.ism has now had an exist ence of tlurty-ohe years, the church having been first regularly organised atTdauchester, N. Y., April C, 1830. The industry and enterprise manifest ed by the community aro its only re deeming qualities. The half-way houso it has fui nishod for overlaud em igration is the only service it has ren dered the public. More than two thirds of the Mormons, as tho last cen sus shows, Came from Europe. It is reported that Brigham Young ccm tcmplates gathering up the remants of his followers who still adhere to poly gamy, and emigrating with them to tho Sandwich Islands. If he keeps moving on till he lands in Asia, his polygamic institution will be in its or iginal and congenial atmosphoro.— Baltimore Sun. Tho Communist piisoners, to the number of twenty thousand, aro to he tramporfo.l to New Caledonia, a deso late island in the South Bacific Ocean belonging to Branco. A Sad Accident. —On Tuesdny even ing between five and six o’clock, as John Marshall, the tolograph oporator at Americus, and Sammy Greene, who was employed iu the office, were care lessly handling or playing with a der ringer pistol, it went off in the hands of Marshall, the ball striking Green in the right breast, ranging downward and toward the lelt sido, passing through tho left lung and upper por tion of tho stomach and lodging just beneath the skin above tho hip. Green lingered until Wednesday morning whoa he died. Tuttar. Baium, Juno 7. - The lutu rul mo monies to-day over tlm remains of live clerical victims of tho,Commune wero solemn and impressive.

These Speci.il Commission ers are to receive three dollars per day fer attendance, and 20 cents per hun dred words fer talking, recording cer tifying to tho testimony. The Com missioners have also decided that their jurisdiction does not extend to claims for rent, or tho occupation of build ings nml grounds for military purpo ses, and that they aro not empowered to report to Congress o:i tho merits of any such claims. Steam on Dirt Roads. —One of the editors of the Macon Telegraph, who is traveling West with the railroad par ty, says in a recent letter : Mr. YVadley tells me he has con tracted for a steam traction road en gine, which will be employed in haul ing logs at his brother’s saw null in Emanuel county. Tho cost of the ma chine will ho five thousand dollars. It is perfectly manageable, . traverses rough reads and even plowed*grounds without difficulty, and will drag after it a gang of plows which will pulver ize tho soil to almost any desired depth in land free from stumps. In drag ging carry logs he expects it to do the work of many mules or oxen, on far less expensive fuel. Should experi ment justify it, ho will put one of these machines on tho road from Geneva to Talbotton, and carry the Meriwether Spring travel. lie thinks they can be used with economy on our dirt roads, and will he found useful in hauling cotton to points on the railways. Cotton Movements fbr the week. New York, June 11.—Cotton move ment for the week shows a continued decrease, especially in receipts, which are the smallest of any week, hut nearly double the corresponding week of last year. Receipts at all points for tho week wero 28,139 against 34,- 402 last week, and 40,178 tho previ ous week, and 45,097 three weeks since ; total receipts since September, 3,821,180 against 2,702,979 for the corresponding period of tho previous year. Exports from all the ports fer tho week 42,324, against 22,902, same week last year. Total exports for the expired portion of the cotton year, 2,982,841, against 1,982,841 fer tho same tiem last year. Stock at all ports 235,598, against 263,880 same last year. Stock at interior towns 21, 511, against 48,324 for sumo time last year. Stock in Liverpool 914,090 against 603,000 last. .American cot ton afloat for Great Britain 206,000 against 155,000. Indian cotton afloat fer Europe 415,117, against 32*,180 last year. The weather in the South has been rainy in some sections. Severe storms Lave visited portions of Louisana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina. These have done much damage to tho growing plant and undoubtebly decreased the yield of cotton. Southern planters have had nothing but reverse and drawbacks sinco the growing crop was planted, | and it would seem from the weekly j reports of the weather that rain enough 1 had fallen in tho Southern States to deluge t'icywhole country. These report: must he exaggerated to somo extent, because if true in detail, then it would be impossible to expect anything but a fetal failure of tlio eotton crop. Somo very elegant parasols liavo just come into tlio New York market, which cost from two to three hundred dollars. Tho tops aro of I.aoo, eithor black or white, and the handles of some aro of carved coral, while others a; • of gold, with vinos of silver and gold eaves There is no truth in tho report that the Central railroad will purchase the State road and the Pensylvania Cen tral. Somo of these up country scis sorers believe anything. Coxcobd, N. H., Juno 10.—The joint session balloted to-day for Gov ernor. James A.

An alleged* discovery of a cure fer cancer from a specific derived from a plant which grows in Ecuador is ex citing much interest ia modicul < ir fl«v*. A curious story is told of tho maimer in which tho anti cuiicer vir tues of this plant were first di,-covered. For a long time previous to this dis covery the plant hud been regarded as poison. Acting upon this belief, uu Ecuador wife who desired to rid liorself id lo r husband gave him a decoction >.f this plant in his drink The fellow was already dying slowly of; causer ill tho stomach, but her eager ness. could not wait for tho ordinary ' sequel in such cases, brio applied the j noxious distillation to his drink, and ; waited to see him fall at her feci. But, 1 instead of that, tho happy husband j survived. The subtle e■■ unco benefit-! fed his cancer, and the fellow finally | recovered from his disease to make I known tlio blessing to tho world. — II aslanjton Tatriot. Bitove soa Morse.—Tho Savannah 7>; uturday says ; Ye toivl&y was tho day sot apart for ; the inauguration of tlio Statue ot l’ro- j lessor Mono, inventin' ot the Magnet- ■ ie Telegraph, in Central Park, Now , York. Our telegraphic accounts indi cate that it was a grand occasion, and worthy of tho distinguished man whoso scientific triumphs it was designed to ' illustrato. Tlio Professor, himself, who is stiil spared to tho world, deep ly appreciated this testimonial of re spect and esteem, and acknowledged it yesterday afternoon bv sending tho following dispatch simultaneously to all the telegraph offices of tho United States and Canada : “Greeting and thanks to the tele graph fraternity throughout thu world. | ‘Glory to God in tho highest, ou earth peace, good will to men.* S. F. B. Morse.” LiriagAtoiio. HE DISCOVERS THE TRUE SOURCE OF THE KILE. If Dr. Livingstone returns from this his third trip of exploration by way of tho north, as was his purpose, he will have traversed both the length and breadth of Africa, and tho world may expect an account of his discov eries and adventures more interesting and exciting than any that have ever been printed. From tho communica tions we had from him in 1868, it is evident that the chain of lakes ho dis covered are tho sourco of tho Nile. If this be true, it is a remarkable con firmation of Ptolemy's theory, given nearly seventeen centuries ago,respect ing tlio rise of tho Nilo. Tho Dooter says tho country in tho vicinity of those lakes is not a desert, as is popu larly supposed, but abounds in vege tation, and, m the language of the na tives, is a land of “rivers upon rivers and plains of fertility.” Iu his travels Dr. Livingstone met anew race of men, called “Baa,’’who dwell in caves and possess a singular physical organ ization. When a young lady takes up a pa per she glances first at tlio marriages and ‘personals; an old lady at the deaths, a boy at the stories ; the aver age man at the news. It is only tho young business man, remembering the adage. Business before pleasure,’ who com mences in the right way, by reading the advertisements first. This indeed is putting a newspaper to its best uso. A man who uses it is sure to keep posted—to know what is going on in tlio busy world, around—to know where ho can make tbo best bargains, and whore and to whom ho can dis pose of what ho has to sell. And there is no fear but what he will get all that is valuable in the paper besides. Recout events in Baris, says a writer in tho Golden Ayr , have given now and startling impressiveness to Macaulay’s reflections on the atrocities of the first French Revolution, that civilization itself may engender tho barbarism that will destroy ; “that in the very neighborhood of splendid palaces and churches, and theatres, and libraries and museums, vice and ignorance may produce a race of Huns fiercer than ttioso who marched under Attilla, and Vandals more bent on destruction than those w ho followed Genseric.” Tho Raleigh Sentinel mentions tho follwing recent accidest at Pilot Moun tain, North Carolina; A Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson, a newly married couple, were standing on toy of the Mountain and while passing around tho pinna cle, Mr. A stepped upon a rock cover ed with moss and fell, and Mrs. A. in attempting to catch him, also fell, and both slipped from tho mossy surface ; of the rock, precipitating themselves ! from the pinnacle, a distance of some I 700 yards. The lady was instantly ■ killed, while tho gentleman at last ac , counts, was just barely living. The New York Trihunt confesses that “tho late action of the Ohio Democratic State Convention scorns full of danger to the Republican par ty” The Radicals are undoubtedly snared, and badly scared. Thoy will ring the changes on “Ku-Klux and Juit. Davis.” But tho Democracy are jubilant. Tho Conservative Republi cans have grown weary of heavy tax ation. They see tho signs of approach ing despotism unles there is a change in tli© administration of the govern ment. Thoy havo bccomo somewhat i accustomed to the Radical cry of “Wolf, Wolf!’ They listen more readily to reason. They stop and investigate more thoroughly bofero they pronounce judgment against tho unarmed and itnpoverised pcoplo of the South.

APOETABLE ROLL BOX, For obtaining any inclination of tho Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of w hich is to improve in the quantity ginned, lessen tho quantity and improve the quality ol lint. Also, to gin damp or wet cotton ; to alter the picking m separating the lint from tho seed—either to take more lint off, or less lint from the seed, as circumstances require. We use Doth the common Bull Box ant a twinging Front. Tho latter is arranged to let out all tho seeds and hu.iS in a moment, and is very easily managed. THE GUST BRUSH jWe meke,cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. Tho bristles n»o n. drawn in by a cord, and she limber is ail selected from tho best lumber, wc seasoned • and every brush is made perfectly fire and rat proof.

We received a gold meila as rniiim, from the Fair of the Cotton I’linter’s Convention, held in 1> 3cc> > 1860, for the best Colton Seed Crusher attached to the Gin Starr, the seed os fast as it escapes from the Roll.
