GEORGIA PRESS. Another mill in Augusta is to be erect ed on the canal called the Sibley. The Messrs. Sibley are in the North at present raising tbe.amount necessary in connect ion with what Augusta has already sub scribed to complete the enterprise. They will be home in a few days with the neces sary amount, $<500,000. The mill will be built at once and will excel in capacity all other cotton factories in that city. Tub spring fairs in South Georgia open this week, on Saturday, at Thomas- ville. Bainbrfdge opens on the 6th, Brunswick on the 12th, and Albany on the 19th. Thk Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum is now in session in Detroit, Michigan. Georgia is represented by B. H. Richardson, Esq., of .the Savannah Morning News. The Constitution says a nergro man, Charley Covington, was knocked from the railroad track of the Air Line road on Tuesday, in Atlanta, and although thrown several feet in the air was not seriously iqjurcd. Thk Savannah Newt contains a long description of the explosion of Foy’s mill on the canal, at the foot of Zubley street, in that city. The following is a summary of the accident: Mr. Lewis N. Torrent, superintendent, killed; a portion of his body, one leg, being found at the comer of Pine and Lumber streets. George Hughes, colored, engineer and fireman, killed. The larger portion of his body was found near the canal bank, at the foot of Margaret street, and near by was found the boiler braces. Max Stcveson, colored, shingle sawyer, slightly hurt. John Stiles, colored, worked at the join ter, was hurt on the head and stunned. John Green, colored,- was bolting the blocks in the shed attached to the mill slightly cut in the face. William Frazier, colored, watchman and sometimes fired up, seriously injured by a punctured wound in the back. Abraham Stewart, colored, packer of slungles, scalded in the face; not seriously injured. Benjamin Green, colored, hurt in the arm, not seriously. Governor Williamson, colored, mill hand, nnhu:t. Johnny Braig, colored bey, unhurt. From which it will be seea that two -were killed, one seriously injured, four • slightly injured, and two uninjured. Sparta Lhmaelitc : Mr. Nicholls does not seem disposed to explain his vote against tlib army bill. If lie desires DeFacto Hayes to use troops at the polls, lie voted in the line of his wishes. If he thinks as other Democrats do about that matter, lie voted against liis own convic tions. The affair is of sufficient import ance to justify au explanation. The Washington correspondent of the Columbus Times writes that it is under stood in that city that Hon. H. W. Hil liard has been shelved. He is expected in Washington any day, and some Repub licans say he will go to Columbus to pre pare to make the race for Congress next rail as an Independent. The Atlanta Constitution says of Mr. Blount’s recent letter: The voluntary retirement of Mr. Blount front Congress at the end of the term which lie is now serving out, will be con sidered a misfortune in every section of the State. lie leaves Congress just when he, a young man, could be most useful in it. We claim, indeed, that a man with his capacity for public employment, and with his knowledge of public affairs, lias no right to decline further service while he is in the enjoyment of good health. His district will do the whole State, and for that matter, the country a service by compelling him to serve in the House in which he has won an enviable reputation. No man need desire a wider field than the lower House has afforded Mr. Blount. His letter, addressed to the Macon Tele graph and Messenger, shows that he has no sufficient ground for declining a re-election. Atlanta Post: Girls should beware of young men who attempt to be familiar with them. Two of Atlanta’s fairest and most popular young ladies have re cently gene down under a heavy load, and two happy homes are now in sorrow. Be ware the first approach of the seducer. The Wesleyan Christian Advocate says: The trustees of the Georgia Insti tution at Cave Spring held their annual meeting, April* 14. The trustees found this great charity of the State under ex cellent management and every way in satisfactory condition. Superintendent Mr. Wesley O. Connor, has proved him- r\eIf to be eminently suited to his very re sponsible and delicate duties. Such a man is a treasure to the State, and providence to the children under his care. McDuffie Journal: We had the big gest hail storm on Monday afternoon last ever known in this section. It fell with unprecedented rapidity for about fifteen minutes, and, from what we can hear, did considerable damage to crops, gardens, etc. Our oldest citizens say they never saw hailstones of such size. Many of them weighed from one and a half to two ounces, and were of almost every imagin able shape. Columbus Times: Mr. Dan Owen, who arrived in the city yesterday, informs H3 oi a rather sad incident that occurred in Talbot county on last Sunday. Mr. Zach Wheehs, a middle-aged gentleman, went to one of his neighbor’s houses and spentsome time with him. After making out his visit he left forborne, which was in the neighborhood of Pleasant Hill. Not long afterwards his body was found dead on the side of the road. No marks of vio lence were found on his person, and under his head was a pillow of bushes as though he had arranged them for an easy nap. He was not he*rd to complain of being sick, and it is presumed he died from stroke of apoplexy. Columbus Enquirer: On Monday afternoon Mr. -W. B. Harris, of Girard, Ala., had a paralytic stroke. He had been over in the city for the purpose of seeing. Webster’s new hall, and on re turning, when near the eastern abutment of the bridge he was stricken. We under stand he was better yesterday. Albany Advertiser: The killing of the large alligator, measuring six feet, by Mr. Spray on Saturdury last, at the Rawls pond, has given the gentleman a taste for that kind of sport, and he expects to make frequent trips to the pond in search of the rusty looking monsters. Columbus Times; Messrs. Allen & Cheney have a cut# machine for the pur pose of breaking wild horses. It is im possible for a horse to do harm to a wagon or driver, kick he ever so high, and a wild or vicious animal will soon learn that to go quietly along is the bsst plan. Mr. Cheney was out with it yesterday. Augusta Chronicle: To-day a num ber of carts and mules will he sent from Augusta across the river, to be used in the work of grading the portion of the Augus ta and Knoxville railroad in South Caro lina, yet ungraded. The work will be prosecuted vigorously and finished as soon as possible. The officers of the road are considering whether it would not be better, now that the price of iron has declined so much, to build an iron bridge across the river. A convention of all the stockholders in Georgia and South Carolina will be held in this city next Wednesday, for the pur pose of perfecting the consolidation of the Georgia and South Carolina divisions of the road under one management. Under the consolidation there will be ten direc tors fi#ai Augusta and six from South Carolina. These will be elected at the meeting Wednesday. Columbus Times: We understand that motion will be made in the city council next Monday night to have the telephone placed at the court house will be made by one will receive the support • notion, and as it will be done advisedly, it is probable that the telephone will be Miller, mail agent between Macon and placed there. This is a move in the right Columbus, has been transferred from this direction, and it is hoped that tlie motion | route to the State road, and will now run will prevail. There is as great necessity i between Atlanta and Chattanooga. Mr. for it at tbe court house as any point in ; Miller is a most excellent gentleman and the city. It will pay, if only to be used lias given^satisfaction on this route. during the time court is in session, to say nothing of its being used to advantage al most every hour in tlio day. It is useless to particularize the. many instances to which it could be made to servo a good puipose. Augusta Chronicle: Hon. C. Nicholls appeared before the House appropriation committee Monday, asking for an appro priation of $25,000 for a survey of the Sa vannah river, and thinks the prospect good for its passage. Hawkinsville Dispatch: Frank Love, a colored man employed on the farm of Mr. Amos Love, in this county, was struck and killed by lightning while laboring in a field on Monday of last week. Parties near him were terribly stunned by the stroke. Griffin News: Some of our military are considering a visit and perhaps an en campment, in Nashville next month. Quite a number speak of being present in that city May 22d, on the occasion of the unveiling of the equestrian statue of Stonewall Jackson, at which time there is expected to be a grand military display. Atlanta Post— We had a convention in the town, And the clouds obscured the sky, And Sherman sent his agents down Money, a delegate to buy. His agents said, money is berry good And lunch is berry fine Let us all go to a restaurant Where we all can dine. Tricks that have been played Can be played again, i And if we can do no better We must do like Garcelon, of Maine. This convention is so intelligent, And you all look so fine, And you have nothing to do But to bellow and draw the “color line.” The Cartersville Express reports the death of Mr. Silas Stephens an old and re spected citizen of that city. The new pastor of the Presbyterian church in Columbus, has arrived in that city, and the press have given him, in be half of the people, a warm welcome. His name is R. C. Kerr. The Grand Lodge of the Ancient Or der of United Workmen meets in Co lumbus on next Tuesday. This body has jurisdiction over all the lodges of the order in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. The uew fast mail service in the South which is proposed, will shorten the time between New York and New Or leans, via Atlanta, just twenty-four hours, The reduction between New York and Jacksonville,via. Savannah,will be thirty- six hours. This will be glad news to the business men of Georgia. The Quitman Reporter indulges in melancholy complaint against the railroad commission. The reduction of the rates of freight has caused the authorities of the Savannah, Florida & Western rail road to reduce the number of their trains and the number of their empleyes, which necessarily reduces their means of living. All this is to be regretted. But the most piteous wail arises from tbe fact that after to-day no more “dead-head passes” will be recognized over-tbe road. Too bad, indeed. McVille South Georgian: E. D. Daniels,, colored, near Dublin, Laurens county, made last year 550 bushels of corn, three bales of cotton, weighing 500 pounds each, together with peas, potatoes and syrup plenty to co him. He owns 400 acres of land for which he paid $1,450 cash, also 20 head of cattle, 30 head of sheep, three horses and is entirely out of debt. Perry Home Journal: On last Tues day evening a white peddler lost his mule and wagon at Houston factory. For some time since workmen have been engaged in repairing one of the wasteways, around which a false dam has been built. While on this dam, which is unprotected by any kind of railing, the mule backed off' the bridge, and mule, peddler and wagon went plunging into the mill pond. The mule was drowned, the wagon sunk to the bottom, and the man would also have been drowned had not some of the work men gone to his assistance. As it is, he lost his mule, wagon and stock in trade, Good Luck.—Fort Valley Mirror: A suit of J. W. Love, trustee, on the Central railroad, which has been pending ten years, was compromised the other day, by the road agreeing to pay the sum of $4,500 for the land on which part of the passen ger depot in Macon stands. Savannah News: Yesterday morn ing, about four o’clock, some of the in mates of the house on the northwest cor ner of York and Lincoln streets, had oc casion to go down into the servants’ apart ments in the basement of the dwelling, and were shocked at the discovery that the cook, an elderly negro woman named Elizabeth Williams, was lying dead upon the floor. Dr. Thomas was summoned immediately, who diagnosed the. case and found that the deceased had died of “menstrual insufficiency,” and gave certificate to that effect. It seems that the woman had been under medical treatment for some time, though attend ing to her ordinary duties, and death overtook her while preparing for her day’s labors. The body was removed to the residence of her relatives on the comer of Zubly and Fahm streets. Greensboro Home Joumal: Mrs. M. Jarrell, has growing at her country resi dence a v«ry fine orange tre«, which bears annually the choicest fruit. Mrs. H. W. Jemigan presented Mrs. Dr. Moore with one of the oranges a few days since, of which it was our pleasure to sbaro a part, and so we can testify whereof we speak. Albany Hews: The question to-day is, what will the commissioners do abont the bridge question? The grand jury has recommended an act by the next Legisla ture to issue thirty thousand dollars in bonds for the purpose of baying Colonel Tift’s bridge, and making it a free bridge. Have not the people of the county had a vote on this question before? Why then travel over the same unsafe track ? Can not our commissioners get a bill fixed in some way so that the legal authorities of the county will be willing to make some trade for the bridge ? Quitman Reporter: The cotton crop outlook, so far, is anything but encoura ging. We have yet to meet the first man who lias a perfect stand. The complaint is that the seed is so imperfect that they have be put in as if fertilizing the land, and the comparative few that germinate r re weak and sickly from the time they come out of the ground, consequently die out, leaving more space unoccupied than Is covered by a stand. Amebicus Recorder: On Monday last, as the storm passed over the city, several peculiar freaks were noticed, one of which was a baby cyclone in the space of a quarter of an acre. Just in front of the residence of Dr. W. J. Bar- low, in Leelon, a small piece of heav ily timbered woodland was struck by a whirlwind in the gale, and a dozen large trees uprooted and twisted off within a very small space, while the timber con tiguous to this place was untouched. Columbus Times: Rev. A. B. Camp bell, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, has been invited by the faculty of Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, to deliver the annual address before tho Alumnian Association, and he has accept ed the invitation. It will be delivered Tuesday, July Cth, during the commence ment exercises. Mr. Campbell is a speaker of no ordi nary ability and the people of Macon may prepare themselves for a literary treat. A tetter selection would be hard to make, and we congratulate the association that he has accepted the invitation. Georgia Railroad Convention. Augusta Hews: The approaching con vention of the Georgia railroad stockhold ers will be the most enthusiastic in years. The fine showing of the road, and its bril liant prospects under General Alexander, »iu vi. unanimous re-election, 1 Mr. Miller has been succeeded by Mr. Leak, who for seven years has been mail agent on the route between Atlanta and Macon. Dawson Journal: Mr. William S. Simmons, a respectable -citizen and a good farmer of this county, died on Cap tain B. F. Simmons’ plantation, twelve miles Southoast of Dawson, on last Satur day. Savannah Hews: The revival ser vices are still being conducted at Trinity Church nightly, and have lost none of their interest or profit in the spiritual improvement of the congregations that at tend the same. Eastman Times: We heard a gentle man remark a few days ago, that he saw Mr. Norman Statham, of Wilcox county, sell twenty-eight sticks of timber in Darien for $2,800. Good price. Augusta Hews: It is rumored, and the murmur is very pleasant to the music-lov ing people of Augusta, that in the steps now taking to make the Augusta Arsenal a great military headquarters, that we are to have a post band on the Hill. Can the authorities make us happy by an af firmative reply? Savannah News: We regret to chronicle the death of Mr. G. Dasher, which took place at his residence in Effingham county on the 19th inst. Mr. Dasher ha3 been a life-long resident of the county, having been bom there on the 3d day of April, 1799, consequently was in the eighty-second year of his age at the time of his death. He had been a successful farmer,and up to within a week of his death was actively engaged on his farm. He leaves a wife and four children, one of the latter (Mrs. B. C. Wright) liv ing in this city. ASaturbay Night Court.—San- debater and leader. He has obtained more benefits for Macoh and vicinity than the rest of the Congressmen of the State have procured for all their districts. He occupies a position of more commanding influence than any representative from onr common wealth, and his retirement would be a general loss. He has the experience which a new member of equal ability would require several years to attain. He has high standing, is known, has fa miliarity with departments and the rou tine of business and rules of the Honse, and possesses a high capacity. His dis trict should insist on his retention in the office, lor he is a representative of great usefulness. His constituency should de mand that he become a candidate, and we have no doubt he will he elected, as he was two years ago, without opposition. A Woman’s Flan. Fifteen years ago there was a certain family of plain farmer folks working on rented land in one of the central counties north of San Francisco. Bay, and having, f e ge, and once shone as a member of its been fortunate in obtaining one or two very good crops in seasons when most of the State was a failure, they had perhaps twelve or fifteen thousand dollars in cash, teams and farming implements. At this juncture the head of the family, being of the restless Western type, conclu ded that it was advisable to make money faster. So happening to travel across the lower San Joaquin in early spring of a wet season, he was charmed, and forth with rented, for a term of years, a large tract of land in that valley, paying cash. There was a good crop the fiist year, but three successive failures followed. Then a half crop came, and more fail ure. Hoping against hope they stayed, unable to leave, unwilling to acknowl edge a mistake, until every dollar was gone. This was in 1871, the process of losing all they had having taken seven years There were five children—the oldest t girl capable of teaching school, the boys dersville Herald: A case of habeas old enough to earn men’s wages, and a corpus on Saturday night called for a little girl. The oldest daughter obtained ’a school in an adjoining county, and session of the Ordinary’s Court. The case was this; a young man, sometime ago, was fined in the Mayor’s court the sum of $30, or in default of payment was to be committed to jail 20 days. The marshal believing the money would be paid, released him, but as the fine was not paid he aga'n arrested and lodged the young man in jail. After the case was argued fully by E. S. Langmade, Esq., for the prisoner, and O. H. Rogers, Esq., in behalf of city, the Ordinary, Hon. C. C. Brown, decided that the fine was changed to a debt by the release of the party by the marshal or city authorities, before the sentence was complied with, and as imprisonment for debt was uncon stitutional and interdicted by the laws of the State, the arrest of the prisoner was illegal, and he therefore ordered his dis charge. This decision then will stop the credit system at the Mayor’s court, and the noisy boys will have to’ pay up, or “go up.” The Gainesville Eagle, in speaking of the gold excitement, now at its height in north Georgia, says: Last Friday the town was full of strange faces. Every hack, saddle horse and ve hicle in the city was pressed into service to transport the eager and excited crowd that were rushing' to where wealth was lying scattered around in boulders, to be bad for the picking up. Threo hack loads of miners and capitalists went to Dalilon- ega to prospect, and look after interests which they already had there. Two hack loads went to Nacoocliee Valley where the big find alluded to above has been made. Among these were the Messrs. Lumsden of Macon, father and brother of the young men who struck it so rich, and who are interested in the mines. Altogether there is a boom in mines, mining land: and interests in this vicini ty. Messrs. Van Bleck & Son, who are here representing a substantial mining company, are making large and profitable purchases. Others are doing likewise. There is no sort of doubt that this sec tion is as rich in gold deposits as the Black Hills, or any other of the famous sections which have passed into history. It is easy of access, too, and unless, we are very much mistaken the next ten years will see every valley and hill side alive with men delving deep into tbe bowels of tlie ea th for the precious met als that lie buried beneath its surface. Albany Advertiser: The Central railroad sold at their office in this city yesterday six one-tliousand mile tickets. Parties are afraid the Central will follow the example of the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad in refusing to sell any more thousand-mile tickets. Athens Banner: Major Sid. Hughes had some of the finest wheat we have seen on exhibition yesterday. He has about three acres of the Rappalianock, and one acre of the Amber, which lie says will average about six feet high. The Amber wheat is not subject to the rust. Thomasville Times: We were shown by Dr. R. J. Bruce, on Tuesday, the first well developed ear of corn we have seen this year. The graihs are fully developed, being large and plump. To northerners, the statement that green com is ready for use in this section, will sound strange. Evening News: His Honor Mayor May is just back from Macon, and speaks in the highest terms of his treatment by the hospitable people of the Central City. Macon has a claim on our mayor, and having lost its own executive, would doubtless like to complete the tie and treat Augusta as Atlanta did Macon. We can’t see It, however; neither can our mayor; for although he gets blown up oc casionally, there is a kind of mutual and explosive pleasure in tlie friendship of the mayor and the Evening News. And again, while we fire away at his honor oc casionally, we will not allow this from outside, so Macon had best always do the handsome thing when he visits its charm ing precincts. The State‘Railroad Commission ers Enjoined.—Savannah News: A bill in equity has been filed in the Unit ed States Circuit Court, in which Morris K. Jesup, surviving trustee of the bond holders of the Atlantic and Gulf Rail road, is complainant, and tho Savannah, Florida and Western Railway and the railroad commissioners of the State of Georgia are defendants, in which the complainant, representing the bondhold ers as above stated, asks a perpetual in junction against the commissioners, res training them from interfering with the tariff rates of the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway. Pending the hearing of the bill, the court granted a temporary injunction, restraining the commission from further proceedings in the premises. The legal fight promises to be a vigorous one, and will be looked forward to with much interest, especially on the part of the holders of railroad securities in Geor gia. Savannah News: George Johnson, an aged colored man, dropped dead on the comer of West Broad and Jones streets about half past one o’clock yesterday. Acting Coroner Russell was notified, and the body was taken into the. basement of No. 95 West Broad street, where the in quest was held, the jury rendering a ver dict of death from providential causes. Columbus Enquirer: In some locali ties it is estimated the fruit crop will be very short, while in others the reports are more encouraging. One of the leading farmers of Harris county thinks there will not he a half crop. A gentleman from Marion thinks many of the trees will die before bearing fruit. The trees, he says, were very slow iu budding, and the foli age is not as heavy as usual. He is of the opinion the crop will be short. From Chattahoochee county the reports are very encouraging. There they expect a large crop. We trust the others may lie incor rect, and we will have abundance of fruit. Summer without fruit would be a hun dredfold more disagreeable. Congressman Blount. — Columbus Enquirer-Sun: He has written a card stating that he will not again be a candi- made regular remittances home. The boys sought work, but everything in the neighborhood was at a standstill. The father, upon whom successive misfor tunes had told heavily, went to the near est town and sold his rifle, saddle, and some long-treasured valuables. Then hamissing up their only team they left the barren place, called by courtesy- farm. Night after night, as they sat about the roaring camp fire, they asked, “What shall we do ?” At last tlie mother spoke, with a woman’s keen home-love and longing, as one night they camped in the dry bed of a stream, near and above a valley of fertile farms; “We are wandering with out a motive,” she said. “Let us work and win a home, and begin to-monow.” So she unfolded her plan.“ The next morning they went into a large valley town where they had ac quaintances. Within a week the father and the three hoys were at work in the harvest field; the mother became house keeper in a wealthy family, where she kept the youngest child with her; the oldest daughter was still teaching at an increased salary. The family farm-com pany was organized, it being understood that every possible dollar went toward the one purpose of buying a home which all should own. This was the mother’s plan, and the effect was marvelous. It made men of the boys; it made the father forget his former losses; it brightened the whole out-look. Every cent saved was deposited where it drew interest. Before long, some leading gentlemen of Vie town became interested in the home- buying plan, of which they had heard, and did what they could to procure steady work for the family. This, however, was seldom needed, for their steadiness and anxiety to earn their wages were re markable, and they were soon in constant demand. Four years of steady, uncomplaining toil followed. In 1S76 their accumula tions, compounded semi-annually at seven per centum, amounted to $9,830.72. It would have been more but for some sick ness in the family. They then chose a quarter section ofgood land lying north of San Francisco Bay, in one of the coast range valleys. The price was $60 an acre, or $9,000 iu all. The paid $8,000 down, and bought teams, moved on the place, paid the bal ance in one year from the crops and out side, and are making it one of the prettiest farms in that whole region. This is a truthful account of how a farm was lost and anolher gained In its. place by a plucky American family, whose idea of a “home-buying company” ought to be remembered.—San Francisco Bulle tin.

There were other guests present, also, among them Ogle thorpe’s most prominent merchant aud a noted ex-member of the Legislature, Col onel Willis, who was accompanied by his accomplished wife. But all tho pleasur able events of the day of course are sacred. The arcana of a private household may not be laid bare to the public gaze. We have divers other topics and incidents, however, which were GATHERED ON THE WING during this brief journey and visit, which may not prove entirely devoid of interest. Let us begin, as usual, with our COMPAGNOXS DU VOYAGE. These embraced a goodly array of rep resentative citizens, including clergymen, merchants, editors, lumbermen and trav eling agents. In the above were several delegations from various southern counties, who were returning from a con ference at Atlanta with the State railway commission, upon the propriety of reduc ing the freight imposed in the schedule on lumber. COLONEL TIFT and Messrs. McIntosh and Weston, repre senting the Brunswick and Albany road, had been successful in their errand, the commission conceding much that was asked for, and showing a sincere desire to promote the interests of the railroads, mill owners and people. Had the sched ule rates been insisted upon, many of the interior mills must have' been forced to suspend operations. Superintendent Edwards and Colonel Haynes, for their respective roads, tho Macon and Brunswick, and Savannah, Florida and Western, were still in Atlan ta, negotiating with the commissioners on the same subject. It is to be hoped they will succeed, for otherwise the price of lumber in Macon, already very high, will be advanced, (so says one of the dealers,) from three to four dollars per thousand when the schedule goes into effect. NO INDEPENDENTS. From all that we could learn there no Independent element in Southern Georgia strictly speaking. Brother Mc Intosh, the sprightly editor of the Albany Advertiser, certainly is not of that ilk. He is, like everyone else, opposed to fam ily influences, pet rings and all that does not savor of a perfectly fair deal in the distribution of the public offices. But no power on earth could make him court the favor and support of the Radical enemy. Nor does he propose to kick out of the Democratic traces as some have supposed and asserted. Indeed it would be an act of folly aud self destruction on the part of the whites of this section to divide at all Surely this has been sufficiently demon strated by our past experience since the war, and theJBullack episodejin the govern ment of Georgia. There is considerable difference of opinion, however, upon the Congressional succession in the Second and Third districts. The veteran Cook, Kibbee, Fort, Colonel Felton and Judge Crisp have ail their favorite i in the Third district, and in the SECOND, Tete Smith, Clark,. Hood, Fielder, Vason Wooten, Hammond, Turner and perhaps a few more are mentioned in connection with tlie race. But there is no reason to doubt that all will gracefully abide the fairly expressed arbitrament of a party convention. GUBERNATORIAL. For Governor, General Colquitt, Col Hardeman, Gen. Gartrell and Col. Lester seem to be in the lead, and we have just heard that M. Hatcher, Esq., of Marsball- ville, is another Richmond iu the field Apparently in this particular region the contest is -between Col. Hardeman and the present incumbent. Many think, however, that trader the rigid enforce ment of the TWO-THIRDS RULE a “tied out horse” will canter around the course. Who will it -be is the pertinent question, if none of the trained racers can reach the goal ? That is among the in scrutable uncertainties of the future. THE CROPS OF CORN AND COTTON are certainly very promising for this stage of the season. . Between Macon and Ogle thorpe, the stands of both of these staples ’ are almost perfect. Few, if any breaks were visible in the cotton fields, and the young weed has that sleek, greasy appear ance which is so pleasing to the eye of the farmer. In* some instances “chopping out” has commenced, and gangs of plows in motion enliven the landscape as the cars glance by. Coni, under tlie influence of repeated genial showers, is growing very fast, but the area devoted to this invalua ble cereal is not as large as it should be, and we fear the guano distributors too, often give it the go by. Very little wheat is visible from tbe train, but we saw some excellent fields of oats, and were glad to learn that since the rains have set in, what was.thought to bo rust is in reality a minute jly, which is fast disappearing, and the new foliage of the plant looks healthy. In some sec tions this grain, already fully headed out, will almost realize an average yield, and in the opinion of intelligent planters tbe general production for seventy-fivo or hundred miles below Macon will amount to about one-half of the usual crop. Jt is said the prospect is not so favorable far ther down, in Southern and Southwestern Georgia. The wheat is conceded to be almost a total failure. FBUIT OUTLOOK, It is sad to relate that the prospect for peaches is far from flattering. . Mr. Rumpb, whose immense orchards are so famous, both North and South, it is said, does not anticipate more than one-third of an average yield. The curious specta cle is presented on the same tree, of well- grown specimens as large as a pigeon’s egg, and others smallerthanapea, while there is a strange lack of the usual abundant foliage at this season of the year. Many trees are still nearly bare of leaves; and we heard one gentleman say that in nu merous instances the trees were dying outright. Apples are just in bloom, and seem to be doing better. The vegetable gardens all look well. tlUAXO. The amount of this fragrant stuff which has beeiysold for the growing crop is large without precedent. One firm in Monte zuma has disposed of4,500 tons, and the supply is utterly exhaustea. But if the farmers.will only keep their gu anoed fields properly CLEAR OF GRASS, and cultivate them carefully, so that weeds may not absorb tho virtue of the plant stimulant, with ordinary seasons they will reap a profit of from 50 to 100 per cent., and permanently improve the lands besides. It is usually the ignorant and slothful husbandman who nevet de rives satisfactory results from tho use of fertilizers. ' • The people seem cheerful, and are all hard at work. God grant that the bud ding prospect of this favorable spring may ripen into a plenteous and golden harvest when the “latter” as well as the “early rain”has been dispensed by our benignant and merciful heavenly father. INCIDENTS BY THE WAY. Among the passengers was a petite, love ly Sophomore from Wesleyan college, the daughter of one of Georgia’s most wor thy sons. It. was a matter of deep regret to the writer that not until his journey had ended did he discover that oue of Dr. Columbus Times: James F. on peare and Milton almost by heart; but • ” 1 — vn -’ **■ * writers, he ! Bass’ “Iambs” had been without a prot«c- j.his way, 1 tor forfifty miles. But he will go bail place ! reading the lightest fiction of the day as that not a wolf in the shape of a Mercer and displayed skillful management as a well as the weightiest disquisitions student, or city beau, made any attempt to carry oft’ this beautiful innocent. She was delivered by the dashing Dasher with tender impressement into the arms of pater familias with every ringlet in place, and just as intact as when she emerged from the classic but impregnable halls of the college, where the girls are kept under watch and- ward for.their own benefit, but to the sore disgust of the youngsters of the opposite sex. AN APPRECIATIVE GENTLEMAN. Quite near us sat one of Eufaula’s most wide awake and influential citizens, engaged in conversation with ex-Mayor Obear, of your town. The writer was in troduced, and had the gratification of hearing him say that, although a resi dent of another State, and able to get Alabama papers in the forenoou, he al ways waited patiently for the arrival in the evening of the Telegraph and Messenger, which was the favorite journal of that section. He liked the ar rangement of tbe telegrams, which told their own story without comment, or the assertion that they were “specials,” when every intelligent person knows they are sent by the Associated Press to a score or more of papers for a stipulated price. But modesty forbids us from repeating all that lie did say in our behalf, though we are not the less grateful for such em phatic words of good cheer. clerical and methodistical. Among those with whom the writer dis coursed during his short peregrination by rail into the country, was an exemplary itinerating Methodist minister, who for more than forty years had been going his rounds on horseback, with God’s help, to save the souls of dying men, almost with out money and without pries. The hard ships, privations, and actual sacrifices of this excellent man are eminently worthy of notice. Listen to some of his experi ences: On one occasion, a well-to-do church member being asked for a contribution for his needy pastor, rejoined: “Ob, sir, a minister should feedjjpon the souls of his flock.” “But,” replied the impecunious man of God, “souls will not fill the hun gry mouths oi my wife and little ones, and it would take fifty such small souls as yours to furnish one bait for my old horse Bob.” When riding the circuit in Carroll county, he had twenty-five preaching ap pointments per month, and received al most nothing for his arduous labor. While thus engaged, at one of his religious services, a good brother prayed most fer vently for his pastor, asking that he might have “many souls given him for his hire,” and that the Almighty would bless him “in his basket and store,” “for,” he interpolated with astounding naivete, “you know, oh Lord, we are not able to do anything for him.” Yet that man owned a fine plantation, and was in good circumstances. WHAT* A CARROLL COUNTY INFIDEL SAID. In one of the congregations of our friend there dwelt a rank infidel and scoffer who nevertheless always gave an annual contribution of five dollars to the support of the minister. When interro gated as to his motive fordoing this while professing to have no faith in the Bible, he said “that was true, but still the only way to keep down rascality was by preaching the gospel.” HEAVY WORK AND SMALL WAGES. Our venerable friend told tha writer that in 1842 he rode the circuit in Carroll county and traveled six thousand miles on horseback, averaging one sermon a dag for a whole year,' aud only received FORTY DOLLARS for his services, eight dollars of which was in the form oft uncurrent Florida shin- plasters. After this who will not feel like uncovering in the presence of the meek and uncomplaining Methodist min ister who is willing to brave summer heat and wintry stoim in the cause of his Lord and Master for a pittance which would hardly supply the wants of an anchorite. ONE MORE nous ANECDOTE. When the Baptist convention met in Cuthbert about eight years ago, an an cient and excellent colporteur was as busy as a bee selling to the brethren and outsiders tracts and other religious publi cations. If we mistake not, it was that venerable man of God, the Rev. Mr. Luckey. The old gentleman in his meanderings chanced to encounter a very near sighted Baptist brother, and made an earnest ef fort to sell him MEtL ON BAPTISM. The old fellow eyed the superscription carefully, which was rather indistinct, and said “God bless my soul,what is this? Hell on Baptist? What do you mean?” No response was needed. HOME AGAIN. As the mystic hour of midnight drew near, when witches are wont to mount their broomsticks and ghosts put in an appearance, accompanied by his trusty friends Captain Snead and Rev. J. B. Wardlaw, Sr., the writer, armed with a lantern, made hi3 way Lack to the railroad, and after plunging into sundry deep puddles caused by the copi ous rain which had fallen for hours, boarded the up train and was soon''ten derly cared for by Conductor Geeslin’ and accommodated with a “shake’ down’ of two empty seats and a satchel for a pillow. This was all that was necessary, and, ere yon could count ten, “tired Na ture’s sweet restorer, balmy sleep.” had captured your weary correspondent. He roused up once or twice to listen to the shrill soprano of a disgruntled lady who declared that the mur- derous train “had broken every bone in her body.” But as no coroner was on hand to make an inquest, he subsided in to somnoicscencc once more. When the day dawned he was in Macon again, and put out like a regular tramp for his nest in Vineville. Reader, here endeth our experience of a day in Southwest Georgia. Adios. H. H. J. A HINDOO HERCULES. The Wonderful Athletic Feats of Ba* foajee Toislram, An entertainment of a novel character was given on March 6 at the house of Mr. Moraijee Geculdas at Bombay, who invi ted a large number of guests to witness some extraordinary feats of strength on the part afthe celebrated Deccan athlete, Babajee Tuisiram. The company, which included many of the leading inhabitants theory vs. facts. Ail established theories are set aside by solid facts. The solid facts in this case are, that the business interests of our fair city have been more greatly enhanced u ithin the past year by one single enter prise, conducted by cne single mind, than by all other productive institutions Rochester. We refer to the manufacture j . 1U11 , U1UUUS ,°!7 Iop Bllt f rs ; The remedial properties of the city, sat in a semi-circle, at either. ,of hops ’ tlle hcrl)3 Produced, princi- point of whidi were placed several pretty little native boys arranged in brilliant and cosily apparel. The picturesque dresses of the native ladies who were present, the white robes of tho Parses gentlemen and the gay colors of the Hindoo attire had a remarka bly fine effect when seen in conjunction with the beautiful surroundings. After some preliminaries in the way of handing round for inspection the materials with which he intended to perform, and having satisfied the company that there was no deception, the athlete, a tall, soldierly man, some twenty-seven years of age, and with a magnificent development of muscle, proceeded to crush a number of cowries between the palms of his hands. He completely ground them to powder in this manner, uttering during the process sharp, shrill cries, which were probably intended to express the magni tude of his exertions. Then the perform er placed a cocoanut upon the head of a boy, and, with what appeared to be a fearful blow, broke the nut in pieces and scattered the milk in ail directions, with out, strange to say, hurting the boy in any way. The next feat was breaking a stout coil rope by simply pulling it. One of the most extraordinary parts of the performance was the following: The ath lete placed a betel leaf between two of his fingers and then, by pressing the fingers together, cut the leaf so as to throw the upper part several feet high. But the most startling feat was the bteaking of a stone laid on his chest. The man lay down at full length on som# chairs, and a huge stone, weighing four Bengal maunds, was placed on his chest, which was simply covered by a thin tunic. Two men then struck the stone some tre mendous blows with heavy hammers, and after one or two attempts, the block rolled off the man’s chest in two pieces. He next made several attempts to break a co coanut with a handkerchief. His mode of procedure in this case was to roll the hand kerchief tightly in the shape of a ball, and then to throw the ball upon the nut. Pul ling a piece of sugar-cane into two exactly at the joint, and bending a thick iron plate, were among the other feats per formed. The company then went out on the balcony, where the athlete cut a sugar cane so as to throw up a piece thereof 120 feet high. It was done thus.* A man held out a scimitar with the edge down wards, and Babejee struck the cane up wards against the edge ot the sword, the piece thus cut off flying a great distance into the air. This brought the perform ance to a close, and the performer was then presented with a handsome shawl. THE NEW BOILER FUEL. The Oldest in the South. On January 8,1731, the South Carolina Gazette appeared on a half sheet at Charleston, and was the first journal printed south of the Potomac. Its age was one year, and it died with its propri etor, Thomas Whitemarsh. In February, 1734, it was revived by James Timothy, and was printed for several years. South Carolina had its third newspaper, the South Carolina and American General Gazette, in 175S. Solomon Andrews, a Massachusetts man, started the Charles ton Courier in 1S00, the'same year as the National Intelligencer, in Washington, D. Ci Williamsburg, the quaint old town of Virginia, was next in the roll of colonial honors. The Virginia Gazette, in which the Declaration of Independence was first printed, appeared in 1730, and at times was published upon a half sheet of foolscap, and at times, also upon a whole sheet of foolscap. Maryland had her Gazette at a very early date, aud one of the famous Green family wa3 its pub lisher for nearly a century after Parks, who closed its career in 1730. The St. Mary’s Gazette, as late as October, 1848, was printed upon the oldest press in America, if not in the world, andimpres sions from it were continued almost for one hundred years. Three pulls were necessary to make one good impression, or one more than upon the old Ramage press. Baltimore had her,first paper in 1773, and Savannah gave birth to the Georgia Gazette April 17,1703, the only paper in the State before the revolution. These are the dates given by the Hon. Erastus Brooks in his sketch of the coloni al and revolutionary press of the South. Our contemporary, th# Augusta Chroni cle and Constitutionalist, is the oldest newspaper In the South, the Chronicle dating back to August, 1785, and the Constitutionalist to 1799. The two pa pers were consolidated in 1877. Age has not diminished the vigor Of the Chronicle and Constitutionalist, which grows riper and more attractive every year. The News and Courier, we suppose, comes next in age to our Augusta contemporary, inasmuch as the Courier was first pub lished in 1803, or as Mr. Brooks gives it, in 1800. The Courier and the News were consolidated in 1873.—Charleston News and Courier. Trying ItHncceiarnlly m One of the Largest Locomotives iu the Country. A trial of Dr. Charles Holland’s hydro carbon retort was made yesterday oil the Long Island Railroad between Long Is land City ard College Point. The inven tion, which consists of an apparatus for the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen, and the incandescence of these two gases with the aid of superheat ed steam with the carhon of petroleum or naphtha, so that a combustion, which is almost perfect, is obtained, was applied to the boilers of the great locomotive “Hempstead,” which is one of the largest locomotives in the United States. Very little alteration of the engine was neces sary. J. W. Houchtn andson, the Brook lyn engineers, were- in charge of the ar rangements, but they had to do little more than place the retort in the fire-box and connect it with the naptha tank in the tender. There were 180 jets of flame at white heat in the retort, and the flames in trial experiments made before the train was started were turned off aud on almost instantaneously. When the train was put under way the advantages of the retort became in stantly apparent. There was little smell from the engine and no smoke, and of eourse no cinders or sparks. During this trial trip an estimate of the amount of naptha consumed was made, and it was found that the cost wa3 7$ cents for a run of six miles, which is much less than the consumption of coal would amount to. Engineer Edward Morris, who ran the train, said that he was perfectly satisfied with the working of the retort. One of the advantages claimed for the retort sys tem is that when no power is needed, as on down grades, the fire can be cut off, and the fuel saved. So far as the applica tion of the retort3 is concerned, Dr. Hol land says that they can be fitted to any engine, and the experiment yesterday showed that the difference in the manner of furnishing the motive power made no difference iu the manner of controlling the engine. Among the gentlemen who witnessed the experiment were Mr. D. D. T. Mar shall, Mr. Thomas M. Wheeler, Mr. W. F. Croft, General Samuel K. Schwenck, Dr. Stephen Kelly, Mr. E. Demuig, Mr. M. D. Munger, Mr. E. Kilpatrick, Dr. John F. Boynton, Dr. Whitman V. White, Dr. John Ellis Blake, Dr. Allan McLean Hamilton, Mr. George Ostrum, Mr. Free man G. Teed, Mr. Thomas Carroll and Mr. William Lexus, of tho Long Island railroad; Mr. W. H. Lewis, of the Dela ware and Lackawanna railroad; Mr. E. J. Curry, Dr. James Gould, Mr. Robert C.

Richie. pally buchu, mandrake and dandelion, had long been known, but there had be«n so much mere stuff—aye, deleterious stuff —foisted upen the country, under the general cognomen of “bitters” and “rem edies,” that this medicine, which had been perfecting under the experiments of skill- ed pharmaceutists and chemists, had to overcome the distrust of all such “reme dies” by the slow process of information, which has been so successfully done that to-day the druggist who does not embrace Hop Bitters in the list of his regularly or dered medicines, or the family that doe3 not know its beneficial effects 'would be difficult to find. THE MANUFACTORY is located on Mill street, from which ema nates the preparation that a daily shipped to all parts of this country, and to sec tions of the globe over which the Ameri can flag does not float. The business is splendidly systematised, and everything goes on so quietly that it would be diffi cult to imagine that so extensive a busi ness was done in that locality. Each de partment is overseen by competent per sons. The items for bottles aud for pack ing boxes are enormously surprising, and those who furnish these two articles alone have reason to rejoice at the discovery of Hop Bitters, while the myriads of sick people who have been cured by this in valuable remedy have greater reason to rejoice.—Rochester Evening Express. Store Faete. Sterling, III., August 22,1879. We feel we must write something of the success of Hop Bitters. Their sale is thribble that of any other article of medi cine.

Price 25 cts. HER OLD DRESS. 1*1 ous Reflections on Feronle Heroism —’Courage Weeded to Dress Plainly. Ah! you do not know how much cour age a woman needs who makes up her .mind to he always plainly dressed; you do not know what innumerable and irre sistible temptations she is obliged to resist every moment. To be wise with regard to dress is to be sublime. To pass by an attractive shop and to see hung in the window a facinating toilet that excites your admiration; to devour this charming prey with your eyes; to build all kinds of castles-in-Spain with regard to it; to dress yourself, iu your mind, with its coquet tish laces, its gay ribbons, and to say to yourself: “I will put two rosettes in my hair; the white ribbon will serve for the scarf, and I will use the lace for the waist and the sleeves,” and then suddenly to tear yourselef violently away from such culpable thoughts, to reproach yourself about them, as though you had been com mitting a crime, and then to fly courage ously and heart-broken away front the temptation, without even stopping to ask its price. This requires more strength of soul than to wage in terrible combats. A remark, which we heard the other day, made with a tone of stoical resignation and noble humility, sesmed to us to equal the grandest words of the antique Spartau and Roman heroines. A woman was going to a ball, to a magnificent fete, and she was busy selecting materials for her dress from a quantity of soft, shimmering silky stufls, which her eyes were devour ing with delight. She asked the price of them; it was very high. Then, pushing them sadly away with the tips of her fin- gets, she said with a sigh: “It's too dear, I will wear my old dress 1” My old dress! Do you feel how much sad resignation lies under those words ? It is enough to bring tears to one’s eyes.—Parisian. Robert P. Smith, Chilesburg, Va., writes: “As for Tutt’s Pills, I don’t know how I would do without them. I have had the liver disease over twenty years., —^ — ~ , T ~ Two years ago I got your pills.

Hop Bitters Mfg. Co.: I-knowHop Bitters will bear recom mendation honestly. All who use them confer upon them the highest encomiums, and give them credit for making cures— all the proprietors claim for them. I have kept them since they were first offered to the public. They took high, rank from the first, and maintained it, and are more called for than all others combined. So long as they keep up their high reputation for purity and usefulness I shall continue to recommend them—something I hare never before done with any other patent medicine. * J. J. BABCOCK, Kahoka, Mo.. Feb. 9,1880. I purchased five bottles of your Hop Bitters of Bishop* Co. last fall, for my daughter, and am well pleased with the Bitters. They did her more good than all the medicine she has taken for six years. WM. T. McCLURE. The above is from a very reliable far mer, whose daughter was .in poor health for seven or eight years, and could obtain no relief until she used Hop Bitters. She is now in as good health as any person in this country. Wo have large sale, and they are making remarkable cures. W. H. BISHOP & CO. Silver Creek, N. Y., Feb. 6,1SS0.

I did, and now am around, and constantly improving, aud am nearly as strong as ever. W.H. WELLER. If Lord Byron, Shakespeare, Tennyson, or Longfellow, all of them were to write, they could not invent praises or use adjec tives of sufficient philological signification nor language strong enough to express the wonderful power of Hop Bitters to cure the sick.
