N - .... ■ V - ^ Ulssklg ?H&l&g&3tpfi. sm& — GEORGIA PRESS. A corresi’ONDENT of the Middle Geor gia Timet, published at Tliomaston, urges the nomination of our talented citizen, Colonel Thomas Hardeman, Jr., for Governor. The Darien Gazette and Fort Valley Advertiser endorse Colonel Hard eman also as a candidate for Governor. Pendleton, of the Valdosta Times, has a boom on the hog question. The hog has but little backing in the fight, and Pendleton says he must go. It is strange that so much trouble is taken with the subject, if they will turn a half dozen freedmen loose for a while, their garden gates could stand ajar with impunity. Wilkes and the adjoining counties are discussing the subject of fence or no fence. The arguments, pro and con, are vigor ously set forth. Teof. Land, the great Georgia chemist, is now at home, in Jonesboro, quite im proved by his European trip. Tnsftome Tribune gives a lengthy ac count of the stabbing of George Johnson, in that city, by W. H. Hammond. General A. R. Lawton, of Savannah, opened his elegant house to the members of the Young Men’s Christian Association on last Saturday night, for a social recep tion. The Albany Advertiser says that a man by the name of Wade was arrested on last Wednesday, as the murderer of the late J. S. Ready, of Baker county. i The editor of the Berrien county Mews has undertaken a big job. He is making an effort to suppress rowdyism in the town of Alapaha. From the two instan ces cited in his paper ol the 17!b, there certainly is need of reform. We hope the good citizens wi.l unite with him in his laudable undertaking. AL.V.KSVjAdterliser: Mr. W. H. Part ridge, one of the best farmers in Dougher ty county, says that it is not the rust that is so seriously damaging the oat crop of this section, but that it is an insect. He has watched his own crop very closely during the last two or three weeks, and says it is being sucked to death by mill ions of very small lice or insects of some kind. He has examined the oats of other j danters, too, and thinks that they are in ured in the same way. Columbus Enquirer: A negro in Har ris county, the past week, has performed the double duty of horse and man. He g ulled a plow while his little son held the andles, another dropped the cotton seed. A board was attached in the mar to cover the seed. This means biz, and we will guarantee that colored family will succeed. Such a spirit deserves success, and will ultimately aclicive it. While some would sit down and starve In such an emergency, this man does not hesitate to play “hoss” in the absence of ability to do better. From the Augusta Chronicle of Sun day, we make the following extracts con cerning the Cincinnati visitors: Yesterday was a great day for Augusta. Its incidents were varied and its pleasures many, for with the departure of our Cin cinnati guests closed a record bright in our city’s hospitality. The party for whose entertainment so much efTort was made, has passed beyond our influence, but who can tell the limit of the associa tions formed, the value of friends made and the importance of the occasion im proved?' True, these particular individu als may not be met again, but the delicate and distinguished attention shown the representatives of one section bv the peo ple of another, can only strengthen the relations of the Great West and the New South. Seldom have we ever entertained a finer set of people. Gentlemanly, conservative, businesslike and cordial, they gave us a new idea of Western life. Observing without being inquisitive; prompt with out being exacting; confident without being boastful—they enter more closely into companionship than our Eastern countrymen, and are whole-souled like the South. Many a cheer went up from Cincinnati throats, rivalling the rebel yell in heartiness and intensity and lacking only the inimitable “tiger’’ on the third round to make the resemblance complete. Washington Gazette; The negroes of this county have never chirped on the ex odus question now agitating some parts of the country. They took a small amount of stock in the exodus to Liberia about two years ago, by sending a few persons who never got further than the shores of Carolina; and since then they seem to be very well satisfied that the labor they put on Wilkes soil pays better than bumming around over the country. The Sumter Republican, in speaking of the public schools of Americus and the report of Superintendent Neely, says: There are six hundred and thirty ma triculations; these have been regularly accumulating as the enterprise has been developing under his management. This is a very remarkable feature for this place. We do not, of course, know the J irecise number of the population, but, udging from the last census and the probable increase, it is estimated at about eighty-four per cent, of the entire popula tion. The remarkable .feature is that It excels the percentage reported in any other city on the continent. He further reports the average daily attendance at five hundred and ninety-six scholars. As a provision for these, the total ex pense of the Board of Education, inclu sive of furniture, amounts to $2,734.84. Had the citizens undertaken the educa tion of this number of pupils on the usual plan, the item of tuition alone, without furniture at $2, a scholar per month, would have been $5,4GS.G8 per month; about one-third the latter is the present expense. The Superintendent closes his report with a compliment v to his teachers for their courtesy and careful co-operation in the enforcement of the rules of the Board of Education. Lumpkin Independent: A sad case of destitution exists in our county. One day this week a lady was in town soliciting aid for herself and five destitute children. Her husband, who recently died, was the son of at one time the wealthiest man in Stewart county. He owned probably over a hundred slaves and thousands • of acres of land. The lady was also well off but now is destitute and has five helpless children upon her hands. Charitable persons in the county who wish to aid her can get her address at this office. Rome Tribune: We learn that ti*o ne gro men, without the fear of God or man, forcibly robbed the poor cripple who ped dles peanuts on our streets. Why can they not be canglit and punished in a manner which would have done credit to the dark ages? Such vile, infamous, bloodthirsty, cowardly miscreants deserve no mercy, and should receive only that which they deserve, nell, with all its horrors, is too good and too pure to hold such scoundrels. Eatonton Messenger: We learn that the wheat crop, which seemed to be in jured by rust a few vrseks back, is rapid ly recovering, and is now looking green and strong. The prospect is better for a large yield than was first thought. Savannah News': Sergeant Harvey, of the police force, reports that last night some boys near the jail sent up a large kite, with a lantern attached to the tail. A fair breeze carried it very high, and as it sailed about it attracted considerable attention, parties at a distance not know ing what to make of the moving light After awhile the string broke and the kite was carried in a northwesterly direc tion, the light falling in the neighborhood of Barnard and Liberty streets. This kind of amusement is attended with dan ger, and should be stopped. Fokt Valley Advertiser: The cases o Green Thurmond and Joe Hall which were transferred from Crawford to this cent ty, were tried before Judge Simmons in Perry last week. Green Thurmond was acquit ted and Joe Hall was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter—the penalty oi yet been pronounced. It is doubtful about a new trial being obtained, and he will, in all probability, go up for twenty Athens Banner: The Phi Kappa So ciety of the University have donated $50 for the purchase of standard books for their Library. This, together with the annual contribution to the Library, will put up $G5, which wilLenable them to ob tain quite, a handsome number of the best publications. Columbus Enquirer: In addition to our several great industrial interests, the music of the flying shuttle will soon be resounding in Temperance Hall. In other days some of the finest voices which ever warbled have sent their thrilling ca dences throughout this hall while enrap tured auditories have given vent to their enthusiasm in vociferous applause. But now wc are to have there another kind of music for which Columbus is becoming so famous far and wide—the enlivening music of the loom as it weaves into useful fabrics the fletcy staple M onr own sunny land. The fablod Circe is said to have woven in her loom of fate chapteis of destiny In the lives of those she beguiled, and may we not predict tliat this new manufacturing interest will form a new chapter in th6 history of our city, already so famous for her pluck and success in this important directio*. For some time Temperance Hall has been undergoing alterations for the recep tion of machinery, and at last new looms are arriving and being put in position. These were being conveyed to the hall all day yesterday, and soon active operations may be looked for. This is an extension of the operations of the Muscogee factory, and we wish abundant success to the com pany. Mr. 0. R. Johnson, census supervisor of the Fourth district, announces that he is ready for applications for enumerators from the following counties: Baldwin, Bibb, Butts, Campbell, Carroll, Clayton, Coweta, Crawford, .Douglas, Fayette, Harris, Heard, Henry, Jasper, Jones, Meriwether, Monroe, Newton, Pike, Put nam, Spalding, Talbot, Troup, Twiggs, Upson and Wilkinson. Ladies are eligible to the position of enumerator. All applications must be made in the handwriting of the applicant, and the place of birth and legal residence also must be given. Mr. Johnson’s ad dress is Griffin, Georgia. Moore, of the Augusta News, is so full of Cincinnati 'that he can’t sleep well of nights. We don’t know whether it was the loveliness of the ladies or Pike’s Mag nolia that inspired his song. He reiter ates for the fifty-eighth time. Atlanta Post: Dr. Hart, aged sev- ty years, who resided on Fair street, drop ped dead Saturday evening last. Heart disease was the cause. Hamilton Journal: Last week the dwelling of Mr. J. F. Jenkins narrowly escaped burning. A spark of fire fell on a bed in one of the rooms and was not discovered until the bod was in flames. A bucket of water stopped the progress of the flames, before any serious damage was done. Savannah News: Yesterday after noon a youth, about fourteen years of age, appeared at the office of Dr. T. B. Chis holm, in great.d is tress, and evidently bad ly frightened." It appears he was shot through the vest by a ball, fired by -some boys who were practicing at a target on the suburbs, and imagined he was. mor tally wounded. The ball did not hit the body, though grazing the skin. An ex amination satisfied the youngster that he was all right, and he left the office rejoic- ine. Hamilton Journal: One of our enter- irising fanners sent to the Columbus mar ket last Thursday, a large lot of home made lard. It sold readily at a high price and placed a nice sum of the cool cash in his pocket. Such a farmer is bound to prosper. “Specks,” writing from Savannah to the Angusta News, says: All tne railroad agents are leaving, as there is little for them to do at present—not until the Southern travel turns northward in search of some cool spot, where they can spend the summer months. This travel will be laiger than heretofore, especially from southwest Georgia, Florida, and, in fact, this city also. Savannah News: The down day pas senger train on the Central railroad ran off the track near the 92 mile post, two miles beyond Herndon, Saturday morning about 11:30 o’clock. The sleeping car was throwu from the track and badly smashed up, and the truck of the first class car was tom from under it. There were but few passengers on the train, however, and none were injured in the least, though the sleeping car porter was slightly hurt. The track was torn up for about a hundred yards, the accident being occasioned, it is supposed, by the rails spreading. The locomotive and baggage and second class car remained on the track, and arrived safely on time. A large force was sentjip at once, and the dam age to the truck has been repairedTprob- ably before this, no interruption to travel resulting. Dublin Gazette: Last Monday morn ing John Troup, a colore.a man in the western part of the county, had started turkey hunting just at day-break. He had loaded his gun and was standing in the door, with the breech of the gun rest ing on the door sill. It accidentally slip ped off, and in falling the cock struck the step, the gun was fired off, and the load entered just below the left eye and came out on the rear of the skull, making an ugly wound four inches in diameter, and death immediately ensued. A coroner’s inquest was held with a verdict according to the facts given above. Christian Index: Kind Words.— Rev. M. B. Wharton. D. D.-hasimrchased an interest in tne book and publishing house of J. W. Burke & Co., and become associate editor and business director of Kind Words. The design of this arrange ment, and a moit worthy one, is for Dr. Wharton to increase the circulation of this excellent paper in connection with his la bors for the Theological Seminary. We trust and believe he will succeed. It has long since been a source of paiu to'us, that many of our largest schools, in stead of taking this, our own paper, pub lished by our convention home board, are sending off for publications not in sympa thy with us or our work. Rev. S. Boykin is admirably snited for his position as editor, and now, with Dr. Wharton to assist, and push the paper,we have high hopes of its enlaiged circula tion. The paper is an admirable medium far the inculcation of Baptist principles. Albany Advertiser: We understand the city fathers intend soon to commence the digging of four new cisterns outside of wbat is known as the fire limits of the city. This is a move in the right di rection, and something that should have been done some time ago. As it now is, if a house catches on lire outside of the fire limits the property is at the mercy of the flames, as the fire department can do little or no good, on acconnt of there be ing no water attainable, except they go into the premises of some citizen, and deprive him of his supply of water, and damage his grounds to a certain extent in doing so. This want of public cisterns should be remedied" as fast as the mayor and council can find the means to do so. Aubusta Chronicle: There are on the equity docket of the April term of Rich mond Superior Court twenty-three di vorce cases. Seven of these' were filed at the present term Ablington Advance: In my recent travels I saw numbers of acres of oats which had no appearance of nut, and I am confident that, the universal cry of rust is more imaginary than real. ’Tis true, a few weeks since there was what seemed very much like rust, but, in many instances,the oats have ccme out, and we now think it was only small insects and not rust. I predict for Southwest Georgia three-fourth of as much oats as was raised last year. Savannah News: Yesterday morning a colored boy named Campbell West more land, aged thirteen years, was drown ed in the Ogeechee canal near Gay’s lock It appears that he went in the water to learn to swim, bnt getting beyond hb depth be was unable to reach the shore again, and drowned within sight of bis i companions, two small boys. The body Jones streets, where pn inquest was held by Dr. Sheltall, the coroner, and a verdict ol accidental drowning rendered. Conyers Examiner: The gang of hands laying the new steel rail on the Georgia Railroad, have'completed theirwork with in a mile and a half of Conyers. The editor of the Dublin Gazette was in Macon last week at the fireman’s parade and has this to say about us: - . The city of Macon is rapidly improving, and is by far the most attractive city in Georgia, and the place of all*others that should be the capital of the Empire Stale of the South. Her beauty, wit and intel ligence is not to be surpassed by the lar gest cities. We have many sincere friends in Macon, and are always cordially wel comed. “Long may she wave.” Conyees Examiner: The side tracks are to be made longer at this place, in or der to give room for the many long freight trains that pass each other here. The work of grading has already been com menced, and the track will soon be laid. Hamilton Journal: Mr. A. A. Tur ner, of this county, informs us that, on Tuesday last a negro boy by the name of Bill Benton, about twelve years old, liv ing on his premises, set fire to his cotton house, destroying between thirty and for ty pounds of lint cotton, together with two scythes and cradles. Fortunately the fire was discovered before it got under good headway, and was extinguished by the other negroes. The negro’s father, Rev.Torey Benton, gave Bill fifty lashes, well laid on, which Mr. Turner thinks is the most efficient punishment for such boys, instead of chain gangs. Savannah News: We leam that a well known citizen of Savannah, who is noted for his unostentatious charity and many liberal deeds performed in so quiet and modest a manner that only his most intimate friends know thereof, has lifted the mortgage of $8,000, which burthened Wesley Monumental Church, and that the church is, by this munificent Chris tian gift, entirely free of debt. Such deeds may not have their rewaTd in this world, but assuredly will redound to the honor and glory of him in the world to co ire. Hamilton Journal: Mr. W. N. Mat tox gives us a very simple remedy for whooping cough. He says his children were coughing almost incessantly until he gave them a tea made of the roots ot the common chestnut. This afforded them instant relief, and they have not been troubled much since. Geiffin Sun: Notwithstanding that one of our printers is in jail, and our fore man went to Macon with the fire engine, and another went a fishing during the last week, here we are again. But veri- y the country editor hath his trials, and the Lord briugetli him out of them all. The Columbus newspaper men have been desecrating the Sabbath, by exchang ing gossip with their neighbors of Mont gomery, Ala., by means of the telephonic connection made recently between these two cities. Mr. Screws, of the Montgom ery Advertiser, can consult the Colum bus editors about the constrnction of his editorials, and all hands can snap their fingers at the telegraph authorities as to specials. The distance is one hundred miles, and the communication Is complete. This is the longest distance ever operated in the South. After sundry communica tions between the newspaper men, there were several songs sweetly sung by Mr. Winter’s little daughter, Maud, aged four years; among which were “Hang up the Baby’s Stocking,” and “Grand Father’s Clock.” For nearly two hours the Columbus and Montgomery exchange subscribers, including the press, business Houses and private residences, enjoyed a perfect and most satisfactory inter-communication with each other. Every tone and articu lation was as perfect as if the speakers were side by side. The sinners of Columbus, says the Times, excuse their non-attendance at church upon the ground that they heard the church bells of Montgomery ringing, but it was too far to go. The Baldwin Blues have accepted the challenge of the Silver Greys, the old men of Milledgeville, to a trial of arms at tar get shooting. The Recorder says “it shall be our portion, our pleasure, to do justice to both sides, neither using the pepper castor of praise nor the cruet of criticism.” Up to the present time, there have been 112 additions to Trinity church,Savannah, and many have connected themselves with other chinches, all the result of the revival now going on in Trinity. Rev. A- M. Wynn, of Columbus, who seriously hurt recently by being which is from one to twenty yean in U>e was recovered after an hour’s dragging, nenitentiarv A motion for a new trial , and taken to the house of his parents, Eaabosm made and the sentence has not near the corner of Prendergast and Little fore onr fanners will he compelled to make large crops of cotton to enable tliem to make both ends meet. They will also be obliged to obtain good prices for the staple, or the number of hales will do but little good. Corn is looking exceedingly well Tor the time of the year. * The Augusta News says: The annual meeting -of the Confederate Survivors Association will occur at 12 m. on the 26th inst., at Hussar Hall. An ad dress will be delivered by the President, Colonel Chas.'C. Jones, Jr. The details of the association for the past year will he presented, and upon the conclusion of the meeting, the customary toasts to the mem ory of our Confederate dead will be drank standing, and in silence. This association, numbering nearly 300 members, responding to the invitation of the Ladies’ Memorial Association of Augusta, will participate in the ceremo nies to be observed on Memorial Day. The occasion will prove of special interest, and no member of the association should be absent. Milledgeville Recorder: The case against the eight young men of this coun ty, generally known as the kn klux case in Hancock Superior Court, was called and disposed of last week. The defen dants having announced ready when the case was called, the Solicitor General sta ted to the Court that the StaW would be unable to make out a case, and accord ingly took an order entering a nolle pros equi in each of the - cases. F. G. Dubig- non Was counsel for defendants. Monroe Advertiser: A short ride in the country last week, convinced us that the oat and wheat crop will he far from a total failure. While we cannot expect such yield as we had last year, yet there will very probably be a sufficiency made. The yellow color is disappearing rapidly from the blades. Spring oats, especially, look’promBing, and the increased acreage sown in this valuable forage, will very like compensate for the short yield. • • i ' -»»■ NO FIRE-EATERS, thrown from a buggy, was able to preach twice on last Sunday. Albany Advertiser: At the primary meeting held in Leesburg Saturday by the colored people, to appoint delegates to the Republican State Convention to be held in Atlanta next Wednesday, some mem ber proposed the name of the venerable George Jordan, colored, the coroner of the county, when Henry Wright, a very shrewd darkey, rose and with vehemence insisted that if they intended to send a nigger, they had “better send a strong man; a man dat can cut wood and draw water, for,” said he, “dat’s all dey’l want niggers dar for.” ' Milledgeville Recorder: The battle flag of the Fourth Georgia Regiment (of which the Baldwin Blues was a company throughout the war), has been deposited in the Atlanta Library, by Mr. E. G. Douglass. It is said to be well scarred, and has the names of the battles on it in which the regiment participated. Augusta Chronicle: R. C. Hobbs, who has been confined in McDuffie county jail, at Thomson, since December 24th last, on the charge of shooting a negro on that day, and whose trial, resulting in a mistrial, took place at the last term of McDuffie Superior Court, filed the iron bars of his window Sunday night and effected his escape. The Talbotlon Standard, speaking of the branch railroad to connect with the Southwestern says: We stated in our last issue that Captain S. W. Thornton and Colonel J. T. Wil lis had gone to Savannah. to confer wjth the president ¥nd- directora : of the Central railroad. They have returned and report that their conference was satisfactory in every particular. There is no donbt but that the road will be completed at an early day. To-day the road will he lo cated and work will be commenced im mediately. . Macon has come bravely to our assis tance. Thus far she'has subscribed $4,- 000. Her business men think we can confidently rely on $10,000 or more. A committee of the ■directors wllk go over to-morrow to see what can be done. Let all rally now. We. will have the road. Since the above was written the road has been located and will intersect the Southwestern road at No. 0. Montezuma Weelcly: As Sheriff Bell entered the jail Monday morning, the 12th Instant, Bill Johnson, colored, who was in jail on a charge of burglary, made a dash for the door and passed out. Sheriff Bell and several citizens gave chase, but William was striking for liberty, and' made good Ids escape. Wilson Phu], the boy murderer, had got out of bis cell into the hallway of the jail, but was kept from leaving the jail by an old colored woman, who stood guard over liimruutilthe return of the Sherifl. Americus Recorder: Mr. Joshua Sul livan, of Macon, is in the dty. Josh, is an Americus boy, but for the past eight or ten years has been with the well known house o f J. W. Burke A Co., of-that city. We were glad to see him upon our streets again. The Athens Watchman is too bard on Grady. It was no fault of his that the Georgia Western was not built. He did all he could towards it: If that story that Grady tells about the finding of so many nuggets of gold, and the rich vein in Nacoocbee Valley, is true, and we hope it is, the tortunate owners hod better get some one else to do their puffing, or their bonanza might suffer the fate of the Georgia Western. Albany Advertiser: We bad conversa tions with a good number of farmers from all parts of the county, on Saturday last, and they all report crops doing well, ex cept oats ami wheat. They do not think that half a crop of either or these cereals will be made. The tailure of the oat crop will necessitate the buying of a great deal Tslmsge In the Booth, Making si Tlior- . «agh Investigation for Hlmself- Conversing with High and Low, White and Black, educated and Un educated-Two Views from Lookout Mountain. Bbooklyn, April 18.—Dr. Talmage preached a discourse this morning which will attract universal attention. His sub ject was, “Mistakes About the South Cor rected.” Services opened with singing the verses, beginning: “My country, ’tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty.” Dr. Talmage took his text from Judges 1,15: “Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south laud; give me also springs of water.” The following is a full report of the sermon. Caleb’s diughter, just married to Gen eral Othniel, had received of her father as a wedding present a farm at the south, in a warm and sunny clime. She asks for the farther gift of some springs of water near by, so that her farm may he properly irrigated and refreshed by the waters brought in tunnel or aqueduct. “Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a southland; give me also springs of To our nation God has given a South land. It is a vast and magnificent reach of country, but it needs to be irrigated from the fountains of divine blessing, and our nation ought devoutly to pray in the words of the text: “Give me a bless ng, for thou has given me a South land; give me also springs of water.” A few weeks ago, to meet engagements in nine of the Southern cities and to catch a glimpse of Southern springtime and see how that region is recuperating from the desolations of the war, I started South, equipped with a mind full of questions and hungry for information on all sub jects, social, political, moral and religious. Among other things I had a grave to visit in Georgia, the grave of my uncle, Rev. Dr. Samuel K. Tahnage, for twenty years the President of Ogletlioipe Univer sity. After walking amid the ruins of the institution which he had founded and from which a multitude of men went forth to positions of influence hi all parts of the land, but an institution slain by the war, I went to see his last resting place. 'When our civil strife opened his heart Ir ike end he lay down near by the scene of his emi nent usefulness, the monument over him adorned with bis name'and the suggestive passage: “How beautiful upon the moun tains are the feet of them that bring good tidings, that publish peace.” He was of that band of contemporary ministers of the South who, after eloquent words and long service for Christ, are now resting from their labors—Dr. James H. Thom- well, whose life, written by Dr. Palmer, is a holy enchantment, and Dr. Thomas Smyth and Dr. Duncan and Dr. Pierce and many others. But my mission was not so much with the dead, as with the living. I started on the tour with no partisan predilections and no prejudices, and resolved totell .on my return what I saw, whether it might be generally approved or denounced by one or both sections. I had no political record to guard or defend, for my chief work in the ministry ha3 been done since the war closed. My admiration for the Democratic party and the Republican party, as parties, is so small that it would take one of McAllister’s most powerful magnifying glasses to discover anything of it. • AMERICAN POLITICS ARE ROTTEN, and that party steals the most which has the most chance. I had all the doors of information opened to ihe. I talked with high and low, governors and water-carri ers, clergymen and laymen, lawyers, doc tors, editors and philanthropists, with the black and the white, old residents of the Southland newsettlers from the North, and £ found that there have been the most persistent and' outrageous misrepresenta tions in regard to the South by many of the correspondents of "secular and reli gious jourrials and by men who, overbear ing and dishonest in their behavior at the South,' have had information given to them that their company was not desira ble. -If a man go South aud behave well he will he treated well. There Is no more need of rigorous governmental espionage in Atlanta, Augusta or Macon than there is in Boston orNew York. The present disposition of the South has been so wrongly set forth that I prop.se now, so far as I am able, to correct the stereotyped slanders concerning it. First, it has often been represented to us that the South was longing for the old system of negro slavery. So far from that being true, they are all glad to have got rid of it. The plnntew told me that they can culture their fields with less expense under the new system than the old. A gentleman who had 125 slaves before the' war, told me that the clothing and feeding of them, the taking care of the aged who could not work, and the provision for helpless colored children, was an expense ana anxiety and exhaustion. Now the planters have nothing to do but pay the wages when they are due; the families look after their own invalids and miners. So they all say, without one exception, that I could find. If at the ballot boxes of the Southern States the question should now be submitted : “Shall negro slavery be reinstated ?’?. All the wards and all the counties, and all the States, would give thundering negatives. They fought to keep it eighteen years ago, but naw there is universal congratulation at its over throw. * Thank God that North and Seuth are one on the subject, aud this effort of our Northern politicians to keep the subject of slavery rolling on, is as useless and inapt as to make the.Dorr rebellion of Rhode Island, or / Aaron Burr’s attempt at the overthrow of the United States Govern- meat, the test of our fall elections. The whole subject of American slavery is dead and damned. I inquired everywhere: “How do the colored people work under the new plan?” The answer was: “Well,. very well. We have no trouble. Just af ter the war there was the disorganization that naturally came of a new order of things, but now they work well. They work far better than Northern laborers that come here, because our colored peo ple can better endure our hot climate, and on a warm summer’s day, at the nooning, they will lie down in the field to enjoy the sun.” My. friends, all that talk about dragging the rivers and lakes of the South of corn, to make the growing crops, there- to haul ashore black people murdered and flung In, though /seriously believed by many people at the North, is a FALSEHOOD TOO 'RIDICULOUS TO MEN TION in a religious assembly. The white peo ple of the South feel their dependence on the dark people for the cultivation of their lauds, and the dark people feel their, de pendence on the white people for wages. From what I have observed hfre at the North of the oppression of some of our fe male clerks in dry goods stores and the struggle of many of our young men on in sufficient salaries, which they must take or get nothing at all, I give as my opinion that to-day there is more consideration and sympathy for colored labor at the South than there is consideration and sympathy for employes in some of the stores on Fulton avenue, Brooklyn, or Broadway, New York, Washington street, Boston, or Chestnut street, Philadelphia. All the world over, there* are tyrannical emnloyers, and for their maltreatment of subordinates, white or black, they are to be execrated; hut the place for us to be gin reformation is at home. Another misrepresentation in regard to the South I care when I say . they are not antagonistic to the settlement of North ern men within their borders. We have been toldthat Northerners going there are knkluxed, crowded out of social life, un recognized, and in every way made un comfortable. But the universal sentiment as I found it was, “send down your North ern capitalists, send down your Northern farming machines, buy plantations, open stores, build cotton factories and rice mills, come! come right away, come by tens of thousands and by millions.” Of course they have no more liking for Northern fools or Northern braggarts than we have. A man who goes South and sets down his valise at the depot and goes upon the nearest plantation to say by word or manner to the plant er, “I have come down here to show you ignorant people how to farm; we whipped you in the war, and now 'we propose to whip you in agriculture; I am from Bos ton, I am; tliat’s the hub; you look very much like the man that I shot at South Mountain; I think it must have been your brother. I marched right through here in the fourth regiment of volunteers. I killed and quartered a heifer on your front stoop.. What a poor, miserable race of people you Southerners are. Didn’t we give it to you? Ha, ha!” Such a man as that, to say the least, will not makera favorable impression upon the neighbor hood where he comes to settle. He will not very soon get to he deacon in church, and if he opens a store he will not have many customers, and if he should happen to get a free aud rapid ride on that part of >a fence which is most easily removed, and should be set down without much refer ence to the desirability of the landing- place, you and I will not be protestants. Any moral man who will go South and ex ercise just ordinary common sense, will be welcomed, made at home, and, coming from Brooklyn,'will be treated just as well as if he came from Mobile. I might give many illustrations. I give one: A member of this church moved to Charles ton, S. C., seven or eight years ago. He went without fortune. By his mercantile assiduity he toiled on up. Was he well received? Judge for yourselves, as I tell you that when, a few days ago, his body was taken to the Episcopal church, of which he had become a vestryman, for the obsequies, the members of the hoard of trade, the orphan chil dren of the asylum of which he was a director, and a great throng of the best citizens assembled, amid a wealth of flo ral and mu ical tribute, all making an occasion, ^described by the Charleston Courier, as almost unparalleled at the obsequies of any private citizen. This side of heaven, there is no more hospitable people than the people of the South, 'and now I bring a message from all the States of the South which 1 visited, inviting im migration thither. The South is to rival the West as an opening field for Ameri- can enterprise. Horace Greeley’s advice to go West is to have an addenda in “go South.” The first avalanche of popula tion thither will make their fortunes. It is a national absurdity that so much of the cotton of the South should be transpor ted at great expense to the North to be transformed into articles of use. The few factories at the South are the pioneers of the uncounted spindles which are yet to begin the hum oi their grand march on the banks of the Savannah, Appalachicola and the Tombigbee. There stands Georgia, with its 58,000 square miles, and South Carolina, with its 34,000 square mile, and Alabama, with its 50,722 square miles, and North Carolina, with 50,704 square miles, and the other States, none of them with more than ten per cent, of their resources developed. When will the overcrowded populations of our great cities take the wings of the morning and fly to regions where they shall have room to turn round and breathe and expand and become masters of their own corn fields or rice swamps or cotton plantations or tim ber forests. Land is to be had there in the Southern States at FROM ONE TO TWENTY DOLLARS AN ACRE. Only $15 to get there if you are not too particular as to how you go. Do yon say the climate is hot? The thermometer every summer runs uphjgher in New York than in North Carolina or Georgia, though the heat is more prolonged. Afraid of the fe ver? . The death rate of Michigan and Georgia are equal while the death rate, according to the last census, is less accord ing to the number of population in Geor gia than in Connecticut and Maine. Whether you go West or South you will probably have one accliraatingattack. It is only a different style of shake. There is no need that England or Ireland or Scotland any longer suffer for room Or bread. The tides of emigration now pour ing into this country are greater than. at any time in history—21,058 emigrants last month arrived In New York, 5,000 emi grants last Tuesday in and around Castle Garden. This is only an intimation of what is to come. Make tjvo currents. While you put on extra trains to take them West by the Pennsylvania, Erie and New York Central, put on extra trains on the Baltimore and Washington, and Chat tanooga and Atlanta and Charleston routes to take them South. There are tens of thousands of fortunes waiting Jor men who have ihe enterprise to go and win them. The South beckons you to come. Stop cursing the South and lying about the South,and go and try yourselves the cordiality of her welcome and the re sources of her mines, her plantations and her forests. Perhaps that is the way that God is going to settle this sectional strife. There will be . hundreds of thou sands of our brightest, most intelli gent, most moral young , men, wlio will go South for residence, and they will invite the daughters of the South to help them build homes amid the magnolia and orange groves, aud their children will be half North and half South, half Georgia and half Vermont, half South Carolina aud half New York; and thereafter to di vide the country you w.ouldbaveto divide the children with some such sword as Sol omon sarcastically proposed for the divi sion of the contested diild, and the North ern father will say to the Southern moth er, “Come piy dear, I guess we had better put this political feud to sleep in his cra dle.” The statement so long rampant at the North that the South did not want in dustrious, useful and moral Northerners to settle among them I brand as a politi cal falsehood, gotten up and kept up for political purposes. .Again, I have to correct the impression that the South is-bitterly against the Gor- erment of the United States. The South submitted to arms certain questions, and most of them are submissive to the decis ion. There is no fight in them. We hear much about the ire-eaters of the South, but if they eat fire they have a private ta ble and private platter of coals in a pn vate room. I sat at many tables, but I did not see anything of that kind ol diet. Neither could 1 see any spoon or knife or iork that seemed to have been used in fire eating. Why, sirs, I never saw more plac: id people—some of them with all their property gone aud starting life at forty or sixty years of age with one leg or one arm or one eye, the member missing sacri ficed in battle1 It is simply miraculous that those people feel so cheerful and so amiable. It is dastardly mean to keep representing them as acrid and waspish and saturnine aiid malevolent. I have traveled as much as most people in this and other lands, and I have yet to find a more aflable, delicately sympathetic, whole-hearted people than the people of the South. They are to-day loyal and patriotic, and if a foreign foe should at tempt to set foot on this soil for the pur pose of intimidation and conquest, the forces of Bragg and Geary, McClellan and Beauregard, Lee and Grant would come shoulder to shoulder, the blue and the gray, and the cannons of Fort Hamilton, Sumter and Pickens would join in ONE CHORUS OF‘ THUNDER AND FLAME. The fact is that this country has had a big family fight, hut let a neighbor come In'to interfere, and you know how that always works. 'Husband and wife in con test, the one with a cane and the other with a broomstick, if "Rome impertinent individual attempts to come between them be gets both cane and broomstick. I have sometimes thought that the North and South would never understand each other until the approach of a common en emy compels them to make common cause. If foreign despotisms think we ’have no cohesion,'no centripetal force as a nation, they have only to test it. The fact that, instead of the thirteen colonies, we embrace everything from Atlantic to Pacific oceans implies no weakening of national grip. By steam and electricity our country is within easier control than at the foundation of the Government. It took two weeks to get official communica tion across the country at the start; now it takes two minutes. San Francisco and Galveston and Des Moines are nearer to Washington now than Richmond was then.' There never was a time when this nation was so thoroughly one as to-day. Would to God we might more thoroughly appreciate it. You see the whole impression of mySouth- em journey was one of high encourage ment. The great masses of the people are right. If a half dozen politicians at the North, ond a half at the South would only die, we should have no more sectional ac rimony. It is a case for the undertakers. If they will bury these few demagogues out of sight we will pay the entire expense of catafalque and epitaph, and furnish enough brass band to play the rogue’s march. But time, under God, will settle it. The generation that follows us will not share in the antipathies and bellicose spirit of their ancestors, and will sit in amazement at a state of things which made the national graveyards at Mur freesboro, Gettysburg and Richmond an awful possibility. On a clear morning of week before last, we took a carriage and wound up to the the top of Lookout mountain. Up, up, up! We went out on the rocks and saw into five States of the Union—scenes so stupendous and overwhelming that you involuntarily take off your hat, in the presence of the grandest prospect on the continent. Yonder is Missionary ridge, the beach against which the red billows of Federal and Confederate * courage surged and broke—40,000 on one side and 05,000 on the other. Yonder are the Blue mountains of North and South Carolinas. With the utmost stretch of the eye, yon der see Kentucky and Virginia. Here at the foot are Chattanooga and Chickamau- ga, the pronunciation of which proper names will thrill tlio ages with thoughts of valor and desperation and agony. Turn round on the tip-top rock of Lookout moun tain and see earthworks- to the north and south and east and west. There is the beautiful Tennessee river curving and coiling all through the plain in letter S after letter S, as if that letter, written cm all the scene might stand for shame that brothers should go into such massacre of each "other, while God and the nations look on. I had stood on Mount Washing ton and on the Sierra Nevada3 and on tLe Alps, but I never saw so far as that morn ing from the top of Lookout Mountain. Why, sirs! 1 saw seventeen years into the past and up the sides of the mountain on which I stood rolled the smoke of Hooker’s storming party, while the foun dations' of eternal rock shook with the cannonade. Yea, the four years of inter necine strife tame back, the events with out chronological order, and I looked in one direction and saw the navy yard at Norfolk on fire, and SUMTER ON FIRE, and Cliambersburgon fire, and Richmond on fire, and saw Ellsworth fall, and Baker fall, and Lyon fall, and Bishop Polk fall, and Stonewall Jackson fall, and I saw- hundreds of grave trenches finally cut into two great-gashes across the land, the one for the dead men of the North, the other for the dead men of the South, and my ear as well as my eye quickened standing on Lookout Mountain. And I heard the tramp, tramp of enlbted armies, and the explosion of mines and powder-holts and the crash of fortification walls and the mortar batteries, and the “swamp angel,” and the groan of dying hosts fallen across the pulseless heart of other dying hostsjand I looked still further till I saw on the banks of the Penobscot, and Hudson, and Ohio, and Oregon, and Roanoke, and the Ya zoo, and the Alabama, widowhood and orphanage and childlessness, some in ex haustion of grief and others stark mad; and I said “Enough of the past have I seen from Lookout Mountain. Oh, God, give me a glimpse of the future.” And that morning it was revealed to me, and I saw another prospect from Lookout Moun tain-great populations moving South and moving North, and 1 noticed that their foot steps obliterated the hoof-marks of the war charger, and I saw the angel of the Lord of hosts stand in the na tional cemeteries, trumpet in hand, as much as to say, “I will wake these soldiers from their long encamp ment at the right time,” and 1 looked and I saw such snowy harvests of cotton and such golden harvests of corn covering all the land as we have not dreamed oft and I saw that all the earthworks were down, and all the war barracks down, and- all the gun carriages down, and the rivers wound through the valleys, their letter S seeming no more for shame, but S for sal vation; and when I found that all our weapons of war had been turned into ag ricultural implements, I was alarmed and exclaimed: “Is this safe?” Then, stand ing on the tip-top rock of Lookout Moun tain, I heard two voices which somehow slipped the gate, and they sang, “Nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they leam war any more.” And I recognized the two voices. They were the voices of two Christian soldiers who fell at Shiloh; the one a Federal, the other a Confederate. LOCAL NEWS. Pencil Sketches. THE CROAKER. Do not start. This is not personal. There are no such things as croakers, and these lines are penciled only that the light may shine through, and profile fan ciful shadows on the mind—shadows that would resemble croakers, if there were any such things. Some of these days a man will rise up and write an essay on the Liability of Little Minds to Run into Ruts. And that man will become famous—that is, if he does justice to tne “liability.” Or some speaker, to fame and fortune unknown, will mount the rostrum and show that the minds of men will follow that man’s mind which first leaps the mental enclos ure ; follow it as sheep follow a sheep, And the speaker, if he treats his subject correctly, and a short-hand reporter be present, will retire a self-made man It is a matter of common knowledge, that one keen wheel, leaving the highway and cutting a new track fn the sand, even though it goes a half mile to pass round a pine tree, will be followed by others, un til the track deepens into a rut and the road is made. Let but one restless, dis satisfied sheep jump the wall into the strawberry patch, and jiytbe time he catches on his feet, others will be after him, blindly following the lead. This seems a long ways off from the subject, yet it is not. We hare worked around through the woods, and—here push this hush aside—now we are back to the starting point; for the croakera are the wheels that deepen the rut, and the sheep that trample the strawberries. In outline, the true croaker is a mirror in that it depends entirely upon who is around, as to the variety of shadow there is with it. ■ Generally, it i3 the shadow of the last man that “set up” the beer, for little originates with the croaker; in bill iard parlance, ideas only carom on hb mind. If hb friend says the weather b warm, it is wann with him; if he says that trade b dull, it b dull with him; if he lets fall a-remark to the effect that the paperhas nothing in it, the croaker hums that tune. At all times the glass will swing and the shadow be flashed. That b but the outline. The picture can be made stronger, for croakers vary in quality a3 do other things. Occasion ally their minds are ponds, swimming with scum, in which any frog may breed. Whose eggs are they—that long string of fabehoods that float in the sunlight? Nobody knows exactly, and they cannot even he charged to the cat. Yet. the sun shines and the eggs hatch, and a voice on yonder hank says, “We ought to! we ought to!” and another further off, half understanding, repeats, “I wonder I L wonder!” and up the pond another takes it up, “He caught her! he caught her!” and a whole chorus shouts, “Dishonor! dblionor!” until the air b pierced with the croaks, and peace flees from the scene. # But as we said, this is not personal, they are only fanciful pictures. Yet if there were croakers, the, pictures would resemble them. A Terrible Treffedy In Cr* wr A story comes to us from Crawr county, which, if true, marks it as onf" 1 the most horrible that have ever 0 ■ 6 ted in this section of the country have heard several partial accounts' r' and from them all glean the follo wi ^ * a true statement of the facts'; h 15 that on the place of Mr. John W. near Knoxville, in Crawford county T”’ a negro named John Owens, who has ™ cently been suspected of stealing W but against whom there is no convict^’ evidence.

Ho refined alleging that they had no right to arm’ him, and that hb wife wa3 in a delicate condition, and he could not leave her whereupon, an altercation took place and weapons were drawn. The woman frightened, sprung from the bed and rail into the yard, in a few minutes thereafter giving birth to a dead infant. The party thenjeft without their prisoner. In the morning they returned again for him.when a fight ensued, in which Summerlin fired twice upon Owens, after being terribly cut by the latter. Summerlin’s was the only pbtol in the crowd, and after disabling him, the negro whipped off the balance of the party with rocks. Drs. Searcy and Chambliss were soon in attendance on the wounded man, and found him in a critical condition. The knife had penetrated the left lung, missing the carotid arteiyoniy half an inch.

We have seen a copy of the work, and without reservation commend it to the public. It b the most elaborate and complete work of tho kind we have ever seen. The plan of the work is to picture hb- tory; to so arrange the relative events of the past, that men, nations and events may be located in time, as places are lo cated on an atlas; thus coupling events so minutely, that iu five minutes the leading points of any nation’s hbtory,orof the adminbfration of any ruler may he obtained. -Beginning at the left, a line representing the stream of time flows toward the right, through the entire work, which b but a series of folded maps. Above thb line is the sacred, and below, general hbtory. Perpendicular lines, the space between which represent decades and "centuries, intersect the stream of time, and between the perpendicular lines cotempoianeous events are given. Lines flowing parallel with the time stream, represent reigns of Kings, lives of men, exbtence of nations, etc., the beginning, length and ending of these lines, indicating the amount of time consumed. The whole work is simple, easily un derstood and a most valuable addition to any library. Mr. Holleman desires to procure a good agent here; he can be found at the corner of Fourth and Plum streets.

The song of the man in the shirt, however, has genuine pathos about it.

Mr. Dew- dropped in, however, and showed that Mr. Fog was heavily loaded with said stock, and the erring member was expelled. It b very natural, that such a reckless, handsome rake as Ralph Rackstraw was, should speak of it, as hb Don Juan cell. The lady who went into Burke's one day aud asked forBee-rons Breed of Abee- dos, was m&e of a woman than scholar. It does give a reporter the allovers to see a sophomore girl walk into a picture gallery, and hear her criticbe “poor Be- a-tricky Sent-ye.” It makes him tremble for the republic; if it takes five of our words to hold two of the Italian, there's something wrong with the language, and Webster should he hauled out by his coat collar and shingled. The artist who asked hb host at dinner to send him the “vanbhing point” of the turkey, was a gentleman of quickness as well as culture.

We never heard such a poetical license since we were horn. Honors Female Who Struck Billy Patterson? A correspondent of the Carnesvillc (Ga.), Register, who b writing a series of “Hbtorical Sketches, Reminiscences and Legends,” gives the following explanation as to the origin of the above query: Many persons have heard the question, “Who struck Billy Patterson ? ” without knowing the origi.Vof it. I propose to en lighten them a little on the subject. William Patterson was a very wealthy tradesman or merchant of Baltimore, in I'ne State of Maryland. In the early days of Franklin county he bought up a great many tracts of land in the county, and spent a good portion of hb time in Frank lin lookiug alter his interests,there. He was said to be as strong as a bear and as brave as lion; but like brave men he was a. lover of peace, and indeed a good, pious man. Nevertheless hb wrath could be excited to a fighting pitch. On one oc casion he attended a public gathering in the lower part of Franklin county, at some district court ground. During the day the two opposing bullies and their friends raised a row, and a general fight was the consequence. At the beginning of the affray, and before the fighting be gan, Billy'Patterson ran into the crowd to persuade them not to fight, but to make peace and be friends. But his efforts for peace were unavailing, and while making them, some of the crowd in tho general melee struck > Billy Patterson a severe blow from behind. Billy at once be came fighting mad, and cried out at the top otJms woice, “Who struck Billy Patterson?” No one could or would tell him who was the guilty party. He then proposed to giva any man a $100 who would tell him “Who struck Billy Patt-r- son?” From a $100 he rose to $1,000. But not $1,000 would induce any man to tell him “Who struck Billy Patterson;” And years afterward, in hb will, he rela ted the above facts, and bequeathed $1,- 000 to be paid by hb executors to the man that would tell them “Who struck Billy Patterson.” Hb will is recorded in the Ordinary’s office at Carnesville^Frenk- lin county, Ga.,and any one curious about the matter can there find and verify the preceding statements. at tbe Wesleyan College. The honors and places at the Wesleyan have been awarded as follows: First honor, Miss Belle Lovett, of Screven; second honor, Mbs ^Lucia Brock, of LaFayette, Ala. First medal, Mbs Annie N.

The other morning a gentleman lying asleep upon his bed, had an attack of nightmare; though perfectly conscious of hb condition, he was unable to move hamhA&oot, but made all the while that noise in the chest and throat peculiar to persons suffering from thb strange affec tion. There was a large dog present in the room, asleep on the hearth. After this noise had continued for some time, he arose, went to the bed, and by thrust ing hb nose violently in the face of the sleeper, succeeded at last in awaking him Thb dog has been seen frequently to enter the hog pen when the hogs were being fed, and singling out a stranger from a drove of sixty, drive it from the yard.

A society has been formed in New York under rules which might work well in thb city. It b a society for the promotion of moderation in drink, and by its laws a man b allowed to make any pledge on any terms he may choose. It simply strives for moderation in, not total absti nence from drink. A member can pledge himself against drinking during business hours, during the .day, or during the night, as'it may seem beat to him. The main effort of the society, however, b to get meii to pledge themselves against giv ing or accepting treats. It b said that more drunkards are made by tho system of “treats" than by all others.
