In tho morning lioth wore found in close proximity alld the snake was killed. Soaker was bally marked whore tho fangs had penetrated, but otherwise apparently unhurt.

Before we bear down too hardly upon John McEnory aeid the other unreason able Louisiana tax-payers who persist in making's fuss and vexing the jrablic car with thoir outcries, suppose, says tho Springfield (Mass.)

Suppose the law-making branch of this goverment >11 compose;! of ignorant blacks who but yesterday were slaves, and unscrupulous white advvjturors who ware "on the make,” and lfho hoodwinkedtbeso blacks or divided with them, just as they hap pened to foci. Suppose we were thor oughly convinced that the public money was being stolen by hundreds of thou sands of dollars to feather tho nests of those kites. Then suppose that our prop erty was assessed at a higher figure than it would bring in the market, that the State taxes on it were in erSMs of the rental, tlmt business was flat and values stoudily ’Lipi\”’lnt-ing- Would kc take this spoiling of our goods patiently, or wonld we mike a row and an outcry about it, just as our country in ftp and fellow-citi- sen.1 in'lsiuisiana have ilono t Iinmljrrrtiitsto Virginia. The Richmond Dispatch of tho 30th ult., has a telegram from Norfolk an nouncing the arrival at > the port of the British steamship Hibernian, Captain Archer, seventeen days out from Liver pool via St. John's and Halifax, reaching there the 29th ult.. with 64 passengers and about 100 tons of freight. Thirty of tho passenger, were booked as cabin and in termedia to. The most of these will set tle in Virginia, while the storage pas sengers go south and west. As regards the nationality of the immigrants, fifty- on. are English, three Scotch, and ten Irish. One of the lady passengers came over to marry her lover, who had preceded her several months, and has been living in Richmond. In some way the news leaked out, and tbe meeting of the faithful lov ers was witnessed by quite a number of interested spectators. There was a quiet pressure of the hands, a glance in each other's eyes, and then the two had a long convcisatiqn togethey. Their words were inaudible. l>ct theiwtras a subdued air of m tlxat created a vexy ereby artificial Itcauty and I agent on the auore road.

Grant can’t refuse to reword such a oonspicuons illustration of loylty. Govebnob Smith will address tho Greene county agriculturists next Friday uponkhe subject of what he knows about forming. We wonder what his Excellency thinks about a third term for Grant and— a second term for himself. A suspended affair of honor between some Atlanta man and a man over in Alabama, is understood to have been resumed, and the Atlanta party is under stood to have left that place Sunday night for the battlefield. We suppose the parties alluded to are Messrs. Phil lips, of Atlanta, and Waddell, of EuaieU county, Alabama. Tub Federal District Court met at At lanta on Sunday. Among the petit jury men chosen for the term were three ne groes, so of course Grandmother Erskine and Potash are aappy. The grand jury will not riieet until the first Monday in October. Annual Coxmehcial Statement of the Pour of Savannah.—We find this long and interesting paper in too News of Monday, and make some extracts from it t The total cotton receipts at this port from September 1, 1872, to August 31, 1873, were G15.884 bales of upland cotton, of which 41(5,192 bole* were received per Central, and 141.033 bales per Atlantic arid Oirlf 'rtirul. Of Sea Island'cotton, 9,439 bales were received, 3,492 bale* of which wore received from Florida. The exports during the same time were (513,- 708 boles of upland, and 8,939 bales of Sea Island cotton, leaving stock on hand, August 31st, (588 bales of upland, and 336 bales of Sea Island. Of tlie G13.70S bales of uplands exported, 373,730 were for for eign ports—Liverpool leu:ling with 179,- 771 bales, and Bremen next with 74,192 bales—and 241,978 boles for home ports; Xew York lending with 170,431 boles, then Boston with 39,220 bale*.

Mr. Pleasant Lawson, a highly es teemed citizen of Fayette, died very sud denly last Thursday night. He went to bed in his usual health and in a short time was found dead. Levi Sudfobd, a notorious negro de veloper of Atlanta, made an attempt last Friday to rob Judge Trippe’s residence in that city, but was discovered and shot by Mr. W. T. Trippe. He made his es cape. however, and was afterwards ar rested at his house, hid away in a large trunk and almost suffocated. Monboe Superior Court is in .session this week. Among the lawyers present are Messrs. Clifford, Anderson, Samuel Hall and T. J. Simmons, of Macon. Fobstth received two first boles of new cotton last Friday. One sold for twenty-, five per pound. Griffin received its first bale the same day, which w&s sold for twenty cents per pound. Tn* Forsyth Advertiser of yesterday has this item: A Sad Accidbst.—Mr. Dick Currie in forms us that Mrs. Tabitha Henceiy, an old and highly respectable lady, living in the lower part of the county, was thrown from a mule on last Wednesday, and had her leg broken just below the knee joint. The mule threw its head around to brush off a fly and the girt of the saddle broke, throwing Mrs. Henceiy off. We under stand tlmt the wound is very painful, and that she is in a critical condition.

The Telegraph and Messenger is undoubtedly one of the best papers in the South. And the Columbus Sun these; Th* Macon Telegraph and Messen ger.—This excellent newspaper has put on a handsome new dress, and appears in as neat and tasty trim as a fashionable belle decked out for a ball. It also shows its good sense by not boasting of its new clothes; and it certainly has as much cause to be proud of these as any paper in the South. The Telegraph and Mes senger very creditably "illustrates Geor gia” in newspaper enterprise, ability and judgment, and we are. glad to see its many evidences of prosperity and popular appreciation. The Sun anncunecs the death, in Rus sell county, Ala., last Saturday night, of Mrs. Annie Davie, mother of the late Mrs. Henry Moffett, of Columbus. She First Concert of the Albany Arion Club. Albany, Ga., September 2d, 1873. Editor* Tdeyraph and Jleacnjer : Last night the Arion Musical Club of this city gave its first concert, and as for obvious reasons the Albany News cannot take that notice of the concert which' it cer tainly deserves, • its editor being Tice President of the Club and parent of one of the prominent singers, permit me to give you some account of one ortho most pleasing amateur performances it has ever been my good fortune-to attend. I know that of late it has.become so custo mary in local olitors and correspondents to bestow indiscriminate praise on these entertainments—to characterize them as splendid, superb, and all such extrava gant epithets, that but little attention, ia paid to descriptions of this sort; but no one, who attended the concert, can deny that merit of a very high'ordcr was de veloped by some of the members of the Arion. Where each performer conscientiously endeavors to make an entertainment a success, it may seem a little ungracious to mention sorgo names to the exclusion of others, but in order to be impartial, it iq almost impossible to avoid doing so. and I am sure that each member of the Arion Club will eheerfnllv admit, that the piano solo of Mrs. WooUolk, from Som- nomlmla, the two songs "Waiting" and “Judith” by Miss Styles, the “Fear of Home” by Mrs. Hampton and an It liian song from the "Barber of Seville'’ by Mr. Cromwell, were the gems of the evening. As for Mrs. Mallery. who is al most tho life and soul of the Club, and to whoso untiring efforts and labor* tho present high state of efficiency of the Club is mainly due, it is almost unneces sary to speak, her musical talents being too well known in this community, as well oa to most of your reader*. Thus far, I- have only spoken of the Arions, but justice compels me to say that much—perhaps the greater part of the success of the concert—is due to Pro fessor Van Houghton, of Eufaula, who had been invited by the Club, and who delighted the audience with some of the finest executions on the piano and violin ever heard in Albany. In- conclusion, Messrs. Editors, allow me to ask you to say something in 1h:half of these musical associations. I think they should be encouraged throughout the length and breadth of the land, and there is no power like the press to aid in ac complishing this object. Albanian. About English Roots and Shoes —Their “ Make,” Style and Cost. The Londod correspondent of the Shoe and Leather Reporter writes on tho sub ject aa follows: There is not much taste displayed in getting up English shoes, for they are generally a clumsy-looking article, but the wearing qualities arc undoubted. The ladies' walking shoes shall have a para graph devoted to them later on, after I liave interviewed Messrs. Hall A Son, bootmakers to the Queen, on Regent street, but I hardly think any American lady would wear such boots as I see in the shop windows here, even if they belonged to the Queen herself. They are not cut as high as we make them by a couple of inches, and all fastened by congress web or front Lice, and there is not a button boot or side lace to be seen. It must have wrung the heart of Edwin B. Burt to look into the fashionable la dles* shoe shops in London. Men’s work is, however, built to wear, and as it is well known our sex has lio vanity, the style is a secondary object. Prices of good West End work (not boot makers to the “Royals”) for patron.* from the mercantile and professional ranks, are: For spring bottom gaiters, French calf, XI 14s; and if of patent leather, ill l(!s per pair; or, in gold, say $8 50 to $9; Oxford shoes (ties), low-cut, nrc Jtl 5s; or for patent leather, XI IQs, about $6 25 to $G 50 gold—enameled is what this last leather is called here; grain leather shooting boots, long and laced up, looking just like our “dirt-ex cluders, are wortli -82 2s to £2 15s, equal to $10 50 to $14 in gold; hunting-boots, heavy stock, coming well the leg, are worth X3 as to .£3 10s, or say $16 or $17 50, gold. Then dress boots, called Wellingtons, of fifteen-inch leg, are made for (£1 18s; or. if patent leather, £2 5s, which is $9 50 to $11 25 the pair. Xo one wears the hist named article in England. It will be noticed that their prices for gaiters are higher than with us, while Wellingtons or boots, of which none are inode for tho colonies, are sometimes less than ours. The truth is, the day of cheap prices has guno by in England for many articles, and everything under the head of tho necessaries of life tends to higher rates. Tho workmen get 7s 8s for bottoming most kinds of shoes, but fine work pays lls a pair.

Under this head the Herald of Satur day has tho following Washington special: The question of color is about to annoy the Patrons of Husbai^lry. The eolored element heretofore has not been known to the order. The constitution ignores politics and religion, but sayj nothing about color. Should the requisite num ber of colored people apply for a charter it would be issued; but whether the State granges would permit a eolored master to affilktte is a question of local jurisiliction entirely. In the South, where the order is flourishing, no application has been re ceived for a charter for a grange composed of colored people, but in Arkansas and Missouri the impending crisis is at hand. The order now numbers upwards of G.000 granges, having increased over 800 daring the month of August. From this time until December it is expected the increase will not fall short of 1,000 per month. In Pennsylvania a State grange will be organized on the 10th of Septem ber. It has taken root in Massachusetts, and promises to spread rapidly in the other Xew England States. Virginia and Kentucky appear to be nentral ground, there being but three granges in the former and one in the latter State. The clerical force at headquarters in this city has been increased. All the elements of a lively political campaign enter into the business of the Order. Cartoons illustrating the farmer’s position with monopolists are being pre pared for general circulation, songs with word* adapted to the object of the Order arc being printed in New York by thou sands, and a book called “Songs of the Grange” cannot be printed fast enough to fill the orders. The packages sent ont from Washington have the following pasted on them, “compound extract of hay seed, an excellent mental invigorator, warranted to cure itching for office, polit ical trickery, and sure to remove unfaith ful servants from office." Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Ne vada and Rhode Island are the only States where a grange has not been established. Xew York has at present only nine grange- A California Cloud-Burst. Those strange phenomena, the felici tously-named cloud-bursts, that some times devastate the California valleys, are often terribly dramatic in their ap pearance and effects. In Yogo canon dwelt William McGQlig and his four daughters. On the 12th of this.month a small cloud appeared in the sky, rapidly nearing the mountains, and increasing in volume and density until the sky was ob scured, and in the canon it seemed as though night had come suddenly. Fear ing danger, the family started to escape to the high grounds, but the eldest per- suded the others to return and endeavor to save that dearly-prized article of a Cal- fornia girl’s heart, tho piano—an instru ment, if core lost, difficult to replace in the interior. This delay was fatal, and involved the untimely death of the entire family We lead: _ “Scarcely had they reached the door of the cabin on their return when, with a noise resembling the discharge of a thou sand pieces of artillery, the darkness sud denly parted in the centre, and simulta neously an immense sheet of water de scended upon the doomed house like a shot from a gun. Oue prolonged wail, a few short shrieks, and the silence r.f death closed over the scene. When the water had subsided Yogo canon ceased to exist. Where the canon had been was now only a part of the adjoining hills, the debrig caused by the cloud-burst having filled it up to a l*v«l with their tops.” BY TELEGRAPH. DAY DISPATCHES.

C., September 2.—A report prevails that tho Geneva award of $15,500,000, has already been paid into the Treasury, but, on inquiry, it has been ascertained that preliminary arrange ments only have been made for this pur pose. It will be remembered that on the Cth of June the Secretary of the Treasury issued a call for tho redemption of a certain series of 5-20 bonds—more than covering the awards in anticipation of its payment and that the British Government arranged with the syndicate to discharge this treaty obligation in pur suance of the plan adopted. A large amount of these bonds has already been surrendered to the Treasury, and gold certificates issued therefore to be made available on and after the sixth of Sep tember, at the time of the formal re demption of the bonds. These gold cer tificates, it is understood, are in the hands of the British Consul, at New York, but to be delivered, together with other like representatives, at specie value, covering the entere award, by the British Minis ter, to the Secretary of State, and by liim transferred to the Treasury as so much cosh.

Washington, September 2.—Tho fol lowing is a description of the difference between the gendino and counterfeit five hundred dollar legal tender note, of the issuo of 1869: The upright that holds the balance of the stales, held in the hand of tho female figure, shows a white line in tho counterfeit over the lower part of the palm of the hand to the second, figure. In the genuine the upright is quite black and lost in shadow. The lower part of the right lapel of the coat on the portrait of Adams, in the counter feit, forms an angle. In the genuine, it is a distinct carved line. Also Hie buttons in the counterferfeit are irregular in shape, while in the genuine they are decidedly round and dark in color.* Particular attention is called to the buttons on tho left side on the coat on the counterfeit. In the word “Washington,” in the counterfeit note, the black shade forming the first stroke of the letter “W” forms an angle at the lxrttom. In the genuine note it forms a curve. In the ruled shading under the right hand stroke of the letter “W”’ over the letter “A” and “S’* there are five vailed lines on the counterfeit. There are but three in the genuine note. Under the letters “A** and “S’* in the word “Washington,” in the counterfeit, there are five ruled lines. In the genuine there are but four; also, un der the letter “H/ same word, thfcre are four ruled lines in idie counterfeit. In the genuine there are but three. At the bottom of the letter “F” in tho denomi nation title there are five ruled lines in the counterfeit, and in the genuine six lines. The localized fibre on the left of the portrait is bine in the genuine, but without color in the counterfeit. The red seal in genuine is printed in a delicate carmine color. In the counterfeit it is more of a brick color, and has a heavy ap pearance, more especially the rays, which form the outside of the scab Attention is called to the blurred and scratched appearance of the lathe work and lettering on the back of the counter feit, which uT>on a comparison with the genuine will readily be perceived.

The Times this morning has additional details concerning tho affair between Vice Admiral Yelverton and the Cartagena in surgents, in relation to the removal of tho iron clads Almanza and Vittoria, and the Admiral’s notification that at tho expira tion of four hours ho" should take tho ves sels out of the harbor. Tho insurgent Junta proposed that he should pledge his faith for his government, that they would be held at Gibraltar and not to be turned over to the Madrid govemnment. This proposition was rejected, and the British commander informed tho Junta that ho would take the vessels to Gibraltar and then recommend to hi? government that they be not surrendered until tho affairs of Cartagena is settled; but declined to give his personal guarantee. At this the insurgent leaders are very much ex asperated. Tho Junta issued orders to.the.com- miiinler of th** rebel vessels to go down tho bay prepared to resist, by force, the removal of the iron clads. The English Consul prepared to leave Cartagena. A conflict seemed unavoidable. This was the condition of affairs, when tho corres pondent's dispatches were published this a. m , probably to the 1st instant. To-day a brief telegram from Madrid announces that Vice Admiral Yelverton has taken the vessel, and there was no conflict. Whether the insurgent leaders have abandoned their extreme position, or in what manner the trouble was avoid ed is not yet known.
