The contest for the appointment
of the Internal Revenue Coliectorship
^fbr this District, in the place of
rleat^anta, removed, is being carried
an with great vigor at Washington,
rD.C. Wade is entirely out ot the
race, as the President refuses to con-
srider his claims at all. The promi
nent contestants are Hon. Jesse .Wim
berly, of this place, and A. J. Whit*',
of Augusta, and Deveaux, both the
latter colored. The notorious J. E.
Bryant is there in the interest of
White. It is impossible to pdve an
'vpinion *8 to who will be the fortu-
[nate applicant; the most that can be
'i-aid is <h*t no appointment wa°
atatlc np to yesterday (Friday) ni'Tn-
liog, and all rumors to the contrary
fare mistakes. Wimberly’s prospects
lighten and grow dim by rapid
turns, and we do not believe the
.President has yet made up his mind
|\rhem he wiM appoint.

MILL DUKE ED.
On Wednesday night, the cry of fire
id the flaMi of the flames eastward
kn town told that some house near by
Mhe country was in flames, whbh
loved to be Gordon’s mill, and which
was totaHy destroyed We have been
^able to gather satisfactory facts in
ird to the* burning. What we have
able to gather are about as follows.
ie mill was rented by a man from
• h Carolina, whose name we could
learn. There had been some tire
in a stove or fire p ace early in
coming but was supposed to be
fletely out by 11 o’clock a. in.—
Wednesday night, between 8 and 9
lock the fire was discovered by neigh
jr-, and iu town, but the man who
111 rented it was asleep so sound that
did not awake until people had gone
jute two miles and woke him uo— tlie
Ill-house was then falling in. Every-
ig was burned, and tin- loss is e-ti-
[mated at ^,000 cr $3,000. We could
learn whether there was any insu
rance on it. Many entertain the opin
ion *hat it was the work of an incendi
ary, and suspicions as to who he was are
darkly shadowed. The burning of the
>if<i;l is a great loss to the neighborhood.
—In to-day’s issue will be found a
comp ete change in Dr. Polhill’s ad
vert, urrnent. He has just received one
of the most extensive stocks o( garden
seeds ever brought to Waynesboro,
embracing every variety known to our
gardeners. TheSe seeds are warranted
i pure and fresh, and may be relied on
by ft 1 vpho purchase them. Kememb> r
kwlin ever else you may have, you can
»"'t buve a good garden without good
seeds, and with reliable seeds the ro—
-*iit is always satisfactory. Now, you
aiow w here to get good seeds, if you
do not buy an ample s ipply and p e-
p.* e lor a garden, it is no muter if
you are condemned to live on fried
I tH<vu and u.usty bread tbe year round.

THE MILLEH IECENDIARY.
It has been suppose by some,
both in Burk<* and Scriven counties,
that tbe town of Millen was burned
by some negro in revenge for the
linching of the negro Richmond
Roberts near that place on the 16th
of December last, for an attempted
outrage upon Miss Wallace. There,
however, seems to be no good
gr -unds for any such suspicion. Oe
yesterday, (Friday) week ago, Har
rington Williams, a negro, voluntari
ly surrendered himself to Governor
Stephens, stating that he wa« charged
with burning Millen, but that he was
innocent, and had come to Atlanta
to give himself up to the governor
because he was afraid of being lynch
ed. He was turned ovri to the Sher
iff and p aced in Fultoi county
jail, and a correspondence instituted
with the Millen authorities. This
correspondence developed the fact
that Williams was **f unsound
mind, and that he has been for some
lime in constant dread of bodiiy
harm. To ro great an extent has this
fear controlled him, that when star
ing for Atlanta, he rode a mule some
distance out of town, and when the
train came up, boarded it, leaving
his mule where he had hitched it,
with the simple injunction, ‘‘take
care ob dat mule.” And thus is the
notorious incendiary of Millen dis
posed of.
