Garland, who shot and killed Joseph Addison, of Baltimore, in an impromptu duel, fought near Weddeburn’g saw mill, on the 14th of last July, was to be arraigned for trial, to-day, at Lunner- berg Court House, attracted an im mense crowd of people, who came from every section of the country. At 11 o’clock the grand jury, on which there were five colored men, were sworn and sent to their room.— After an hour’s consultation they re ported a true bill in the case of R. B. Garland, who was indicted for mur der. At 1 o’clock, the Court took a recess for dinner. The Court recon vened at 2 o’clock, when Garland was brought from jail into the Court Room. The prisoner is about twenty- seven years of age, a native of Lun- nerberg county. Dr. John B. Garland, the father of the accused, occupied the seat next to him. On arraign* ment Garland pleaded not guilty.— Of the forty-eight jurymen summon* ed twenty-four bad expressed an opinion and were rejected as incom petent jurors. During the calling .of the venire in Garland’s case, the grand jury came into Court and re ported true bills in the cases of W. W. Bo*we!l and John Roche, charged as principals in the killing of Ad d*, son and indicted for murder. The Garland jury was next called and the examination of witness- s commenced at 10 minutes to 3 this afternoon.— There are twentv-three witnesses t. * be examined, sixteen for the proae— eutiun and sevtn for the defense. The prosecuti n is b-mg e nduetod by G. C. Orgain, commonwealths attorney, Judge Drury, A Hindoo, of Petersburg, and Archibald H. Tay lor, of Baltimore. The defense is XT _ r . . represented by H. L.

Gen. Gartrell fired the first gun of campaign by a rousing speech at (Conyers last Saturday. He reviewed itlie situation of the Democratic party, amPclftUued that he was the only true Democrat i« the field. He referred to tthe offer of support tendered him by the late Repub!icao convention, «und s».id that the Republicau party was aware .that if they supported him at all, it must be as aa Isyiependent Democrat, just as they did Colquitt during the last, gubernatorial campaign. The au dienee was large aivd enthusiastic, and the general received many assurauees of support from white Democrats, while the negroes there are said to be solid for him. Geu. Gartrell with the aid of the Republican party may receive a con siderable vote, but it is totally impossible for him to be elected, and a man of his politioal information ought to know it. at car, $2.000; the smoking ear, $5,000; the ordinary passenger ears, 810,000 each ; and j Secretary of the 1 reasury tin; three palace ears, $15,000each; total, 8RS,(XV).

The palace ears put down at 815,()00, are, in many cases, worth an average of 818,rXW). These ears came into use soon after the sloepiig coaches, the first, being used in 1803.

BIG FIND OF GOLD. Charlotte Observer. Mr. J. C. Wlswell, manager of the Arlington 1 Guarantee gold mine, located five miles from this oity, struck something like a veritable bonanza, one day this week. In working the cross vein, he got out three Immense quartz ocks, the largest of which weighs with'n a frac tion of two hundred pounds, and ea( h of the rocks aro thickly studded with chunks of the yeltoiflhgt and purest gold. A streak of gold, about an Inoli wide, runs through the rocks, and ean be traced with the naked eye. It Is esti mated that one of the rooks alone contains 8800 worth of gold. The surfaoe of the rooks actu ally sparkle with pure, free gold, und It is con sidered a most extraordinary find, and numbers have flocked to the mine to see the sight. Mr. Wiswell is taking out ores at a rapid rate and Is building a steam crusher, whloh he will have ready to work in a few days. Dr. John R. May.

J., Augu-t 13.— The guests of Hotel Bellevue, just above Seabright, stampeded yester day because of two cases of typhoid fever among their number. The patients are N. W. Andrews, brother- in-law of Cyrus W. Field, Jr., and Mrs. Albert Levy, a relative of the Sehgmans. The proprietor of the hotel demands $2,500 from the fam ily of each of the patients for allowing the latter to remain there ten days, And threatens that unless these sums are paid, or the sick persons remov ed, he will shut up his house and prosecute any one who enters it. The friends of the patients refuse to pay these exhorbitant sums for ten days’board, and the physicians say the patients cannot be moved with out risk of fatal consequences. Envtlle, Ga , N". 4, M. A B. R. IL, August 12. — A scriou* and perhaps fatal Occident ocoured here tbi* morniug about 2 o'clock. This sta tion i» only recognized as a flag station. Lust night, Mr. J. L. Layton, who is employed at the saw mill of Mr. . J. R. Robinson, was desirous of taking passage on the train winch passed this morning, so he procured a buns die of faggots and some matches, intending to make with them a sig nal light, by which to Hop the train at the proper time. He seatcdJiim" seif on a cro*s*tie, placing the faggots and matches in order in front of him, and determined to await the proper time for lighting them — While waiting he fell asleep. Of course when the train approached, there being no signal to stop it, it continued on its way, and being dark, the locomotive struck the sleeping Mr. Layton on the right hip, dislocating it and severely injuring him. He cannot walk a step, and is in a critical condition. At'anta Constitution : Mr. J. H. Lester, who lives near McDonough, is 113 years old, having been bora in Rockingham, N. C., December 7* 1769. He distinctly remembers the revolutionary war, and when eleven years old was detailed with other boys to defend the women and chil dren from th? tories. During a skirmish he received two cuts on the head from a Babre. He served un der General Floyd during the war of 1812. Sherman’s army destroyed all his property. His wife is dead, his sons have been killed in battle or have died. He is now old and in firm and dependent on charity for support. Henry couuty gives him $6 every three months, but ol course that does not keep him up. A lady has written to Governor Colquitt ask ing aid for him, but of course the Governor is powerless to assist the old man. Tnis is a chance for the benevolent.
