They, also, propose to givo a public debate soon, and some of them propose to challenge tho Excel sior Club. Nothing liko self-confi dence. Thoso desiring dirt for tho erection of forts as a means of defense against the army of musquitods that threaten to invade this locality, can be amply supplied from tlio liugo mound on tho Bquure without disfiguring their prom ises. Now that the rainy weather has been succeeded by warm sunshine,Hhe general cry is, “I want a nigger to W’ork my garden - ” Alas, alas ! they havo all gone to tho Brunswick & Al bany Railroad except a few, and they "ould swallow a fly whole, if one were t° get in their mouths, rather than cx ert themselves enough to eject his fly ship. M e have heard of an eighty aero •Lid of cotton in this county that with Ml tlio labor that could bo bestowed u pon it, could not be mado to produce "hat ten acres would on ordinary lund and like seasons. This is owing tn the unfavorable seasons. Another ufldence of the unfavorable prospects bur the cotton plant. fkmo trading going on notwith standing the scarcity of greenbacks. — r - C. G.

Fisn ! Fish ! —A party of our citi zens having concluded they wanted.a mess of fresh fish, completed their ar rangements for an excursion to Co gan’s mill'a few miles in the country,' and on Monday last, with netts, polls, and vessels in which to ’preserve and bring home the game, they set out in search for the finny tribe. All day they plied their tackle and energy, j and —don’t get frightened, reader — ; wonderful to tell, they came homo weary, sore in the flesh, and with ono, fish." Quite a Blew.—“ Two from ono you can't,” but two on top of one can ap pear equal to a score ; especially when j oven-lids and empty di-hes are piled • on without regard to the force with ; which they come down. The latter part of this proposition explains tho condition of a c<florci“woman’s rights” j female, who, on last Sabbath evening, j attempted to tongue-lash anothor of; tho samo color, and her friend, for' having, to use her own language, j “taken her Watt from her.” Tho re marks of tho injured wife wero so, pointed that Nos. two arid throe“featli erod in” on her with tho above men tioned weapons, and, like a burnt bread-crust, when the oven-lid wa3 raised it brought tho Lark, and tho blood flowed freely. A citizen was soon on the spot, who shut ofl tho draft and extinguished the fire, but too Into to save tho slew. The City j Council felt aggravated 8-J worth, i and ordered the Marshal to collect the same. Sudden Death. —On tlio 13tu in. 4., * Mrs. Bythcl Haynes of this county was in usual health and soatod in a chair, when suddenly her head was seeu to fall forward, giving evidence of a sudden attack of some kin I, sup posed to be heart disoase, from which she died iu half an hour. IMrs. Haynes was among the first whito settlers of the county, and was be loved by all who knew her. Aged about seventy years. Godey’s Lady’s of | time. It is ever thus with Godey. He is a live publisher, fully comprehend ing the tastes and wants of thoso for whom it'is his province to cater. Ap preciating their anxiety to keep up with the rest of tho world in tho styles of dross, he hastens to lay before them the latest fashions—presenting them in tie most attractive manner, by menns of handsomely executed colored plates, accompanied by description cuts, diagrams, etc. The reading mat ter and other features of tho book are also of an interesting and entertaining , character.

It is better to bo born lucky than rij'h, says the old ad ago-!—so said wo on last Saturday. Whoa passing Cu g:tn s Hill wo wero hailed by Messrs, Mttlkcy, Eom.aul, Gresham, Maund and Byrd, who had taken advantage of old J- rionii Cogan’s misfortune, by seining in his, used to be, mill pond. They had been very successful, and informed us that they proposed to fry a lot of thorn, then and there, and in vited us to take dinner with them. Having a friend with us that looked hungry, and knowing ho could do jus tice to tho occasion, provided tho fish held out, wo accepted. After tethering January near a wag on on which was a lot of oats wo wero invited by Uncle Billy to “step this 1 way,’ as ho- wanted to learn us how to scale fish. Wo stepped forward j like a man, as Undo Billy will testi fy, and every one present will testify that our friend also helped to scale [ fish, and when put upon tho table, | was first to make tho attack, and last ! to leave the field. Mr. Swanson had been sent down to sco how Boyd was getting along, and by some means a black bottle filled with anti-phogmattes i was slipped into Lis buggy. Uncle Billy thought it best to test tho stuif and sco if it would’nt keep oil tho snakes tho balance of tho day. Wo cannot speak positively of tho amount ol virtue in the aforesaid liquid, but know that nono of tho party wero snake bitten that day. Dinner over we bid adieu to our kiud friends, went our way rejoicing, and found on tlie line of tho Brunswick & Albany Railroad old friends and readers of the Journal who aro anx iously looking forward to the day when tho whistle of tho iron horse will bo heard, and they have tho priv ilege of shipping their cotton direct to Savannah or Brunswick, or do as they have boon doing heretofore, viz : come to Dawson, tho best market in Geor gia. Wo were pleased to find tlio corn crops on tho lino of travel good, but saw hundreds of acres of Xing Cot ton iu such condition as to make us believe that Gen. Green will dictate terms as to a *completo and uncondi tional surrender. -»•»•*■ Advertisement. In reply to Mr. T. J. Ilart in last week’s Jocekal, I would say that I fool that it would bo folly for a gen tleman to kick at every purp that barks at him, but in justice to my family and*friends I would say that Mr. Hart has willfully and knowingly liud. In the first place, he says that ho stated to tho Council that he never heard the summons of tho Marshal.— I say that Tom Hart acknowledged to J. F. Sharpe, J. 11. Crouch and my self that ho did hear the summons of the Marshal and started tff his relief, but saw a knife and would not go any farther. In tho second place, ho goes on to say that ho had an interview with me and that I promised to remit half tho fine, and 1, Greer, pay half of tho costs if he would pay tho other half, which I say is a positive lie.— Just here I will state in a few words what passed between Mr. Hart and myself: A "day or so before Court ad journed, Mr. Hart called on mo and said lie wished to settle this matter Without farther costs and trouble. I told Mr, Hurt mat I bad no powor, as one member of the Council, but that I would see tho other members of tho Council, and if they wero willing, we would settle the matter agreeably. I saw two members of the Council im mediately after this, and they both re fused to settle it iu any such way. I havo seeu other members of tho Coun cil sinco that time, and they say they would not have consented to settle tho matter in any way only tlio way it was settled. In conclusion 1 would say that Tom Hart is an infamous Coward, beneath the dignity of a gen tleman, and that 1 am responsible for what I say. N. C. Greek. y •» .
