! read on that subject. And as a large number of our readers are interested in this bill, directly or indirectly, we publish the speech this morning. And whi:c ad vocating the bill, Senator Brown took oc casion to tell the Northern people some very wholesome truths in very pointed language about the South and the late 'iBWK'BJS. tss At THE GEORGIA PRESS. The following is the verdict of a cor oner’s jury in Savannah: The jury, after considering the informa tion before them, returned a verdict that the deceased, John Jackson, came to liis of stealing cattle. Augusta Nmcs: On Wednesday night 'last a man named Franklin, an em ploye of Vaucluse Factory, near GranLe- ville became engaged in a difficulty with a man, named Myers, who kept a country store within a mile of the mills. Myers was cut and stabbed so severely that he is considered fatally hurt. Franklin es caped. Albany Advertiser: Macon’s yester day's cutting scrape was between two negro boys. At this writing the seat of war has not been heard from for the cur rent twenty-four hours, but we are pre pared for the worst. Augusta Chronicle: Parties interested in the Eutaw excursion will be pleased to know that sixty days’ tithe is allowed on all tickets from Richmond, and those de siring longer time from New York will find it to their interest to consult with officers of the club. This extension of time enables all who wish to visit hew York, on business or otherwise, to do so, and returning remain at the Virginia wa- tering places until the 1st of September. Strangers to New York will find in this opportunity a rare advantage in seeing the great metropolis. The members of the club are not only proverbial lor their at tention to tlielr guests, but they have se cured the services of Mr. II. A. Callan, of the linn of Leve & Alden, the great tour ist agents, to conduct the party to all places of notoriety, and upon excursions to the popular resorts. These arrange ments have already been effected, and to each day is assigned some delightful en joyment. The new steamship of the Ocean Steamship company, which will be fin ished in July, is to be called “Augusta,” in honor ot our enterprising sister city. Miss Fanny Casey, one of Augusta’s fair, est daughters, has been appointed to per form the christening ceremonies. She will proceed to New York early in July for the occasion. Coffee County Gazette: Mr. John Williams, who lived about six miles from town, died suddenly yesterday morning a week ago. Mr. Williams heard the chick ens cackling in an oak grove near the house, ami went to look for a lien’s nest. His absence being longer tkau necessary, a young man went in search of him when he was found lying on the groum dead. Mr. Williams was eighty-six years old and very fe.ble Perkam, of the Quitman Free Press, is a candidate for re-election as ordinary of Brooks county. He takes advantage of bis opponent in the following maimer: Mr. Gaulden is a rising young man, as is evidenced in the fact that his friends are urging him for ordinary. He is wor thy and capable, and the present incum bent, who is also a candidate, congratu- wo a, himself upon having an opponent TUr linnet Jus steel. In a contest with no undue or uiihftl' aa '* know that taken, and that no pers*(ftSL a § e ' V 'N V. e . be engendered thereby. We liaveW? _j been m favor of putting our worthy young men forward (the reason we put ourself forward), and should Mr. Gaulden be our opponent for ordinary we shall most as suredly vote for him—endeavoring at the same time, however, to clean him fairly on the home stretch. It would be no dis grace for any gentleman to be defeated by the editor of so cetebratcd a journal as the Free Prats, and we shall not feel dis honored if Mr. Gaulden defeats us. Eatonton Messenger: The other day while Mr. G. W. Wardwell was having removed the rubbish and broken walls of the building formerly occupied by him as a hardware store, and which was de stroyed by the recent fire, a brick was found witli a common paregoric pliial im bedded in one side, the pliial containing a slip of paper having written thereon the following: “Eatonton, Ga., February 22, 1853. Thffrow of brick buildings "was erected by Carter & Harvey. Tunis Tun- isou was the undertaker, and this pliial and paper deposited by S. M. Farrar.’’ February 22,1853, to February, 1S90, makes it twenty-seven years ago since the row of buildings was finished. Tins re minds one of days long gone by, and we reflect that three of "the gentlemen's names on the “slip in the phial” have gone to their long home, Carter, Farrar and Tunison. The times are not now as then, but we indulge no further reflections for fear of becoming unnecessarily heavy of heart. Atlanta Phonograph: Mr. Thomas Hcnncsly, who has been crazy since Jan uary last, jumped from a car window between Macon and Milledgeville, while the train was running at a speed of fifteen miles au hour. The train was stopped and search made for the unfortunate man, hut he could not be found, and it is thought he escaped unhurt and returned to his home in Henry couuty. Thomaston Times: The suggestion of the name of Hon. A. O. Bacon to succeed Gov. Brown in the United States Senate seems to meet with very general favor with the press of the State. Mr. Bacon would represent Georgia with ability, and with that integrity that has always char acterized him. Savannah News: The bridge of the Savannah and Charleston railroad ore.- the Savannah river, which was partly de stroyed by fire on the 18tb lost, Las been repaired, and trains passed over it yester day. This restores regular communica tion between the two cities, which was partially hitemipted during the past week, owing to the necessity of making trans fers at tlie river. An announcement of interest to merchants and shippers in this connection appears elsewhere. Levi Rutledge, au old and respected col ored citizen, died on Friday afternoon at bis residence in this city, aged fifty-one years. He was highly esteemed by the colored peaple generally, and was noted for his piety, haring been for over thirty years earnestly engaged in the work of Christianity. Rome Courier: The rumor gains cre dence and the report is more widely cir culated that Dr. Fe.ton will not be a can didate for Congress this year. Believing that he may not be, we will withhold several more embarrassing questions which wc intended to put to his “rirer- ence,” assuring him that if he will put aside the errors of the past six years and, re-entering his little chapel, preach to Bill Arp and Ids iellow— fellow— some things, we will let him alone; but if he will run, we assure 1dm the printers’ cases still bristle with bright, new inter rogation points, that are very annoying to sensitive souls. Giuffin News: On Wednesday night the store of W. J. Kincaid was broken into by some thief and about $400 worth of clothing stolen. A considerable amount of coats, pants and vests were missing— the very finest and best in the stock. The store was entered from the roar by break ing open a window in the cellar and going up the stairway leading from the cellar into the store room. Store-breaking is becoming too frequent in this city. Columdus Enquirer: Yestenlay Mrs. J. C. Goldwire, who resides on lower Oglethorjie street, was seriously burned. The neighborhood was attracted by her cries, and many rushed to her assistance. She was preparing to get dinner, and the fire was burning slowly. She thought a small quantity of kerosene would kindle it without injury to herself. One of the lids of the stove was remeved, and the oil poured iu. In less time than it takes to tell it, the flames ran into the can, when it burst. Mis. G. ran rapidly into the yard of Mrs. Street, when the latter threw a bucket of water on her, which extin . guished the fire. Fortunately the burn will not prove fatal. The Columbus Times says: Without any feeling of admiration for Senator Brown’s course for fifteen years past, we must in candor say that his speech in the Senate on the hill to pension the soidieis Atlanta Constitution: And now j night the 10th, Cale Barron and Alex. conceded by all who read this speech that he lias ably advocated claims that have been too long allowed to rest unpressed by the friends of these old soldiers. Augusta News: Dr. Wallace Bland was still alive on the 21st, and his attend ing physician expressed hopes of his final recovery. He was shot on tlie 12tb of April, and has been vibrating between lifo and death ever since. It is said to be the most remarkable case of gunshot wonnd known to the medical fraternity. Atlanta Post of 27th: Yesterday morning a difficulty occurred between Ed Kobiuson and Henry Mellon, two colored boys, during which Robinson cut Mellou s throat with a case knife, which he had in his hand. Yesterday, about 1 o’clock, a difficulty occurred on Broad street, near Hunter, be tween Jeff Hill, a negro boy, and Joe Chapman, a white man, in which Hill received a severe cut in the back of the neck. It appears that Chapman went into a hitch yard to hitch his horse to a wagon, and whilst thus engaged was accosted by Hill, who was drinking, and asked to treat, which Chapman refused, when Hill began abusingand finally made an assault upon him. During the fight Chapman cut Hill in the back of the neck witli a barlow, inflicting a wound about five inches long. The police arrested both parties and took them to the lock-up, whore Hill had Ills wounds dressed. Columbus Enquirer: On yesterday about day, just as the hands were water ing the streets, two colored sisters met after a long separation and were shaking hands, hugging, etc., and asked tlie “good Lord to send down his blessings,” when the stream was turned on them, blinding and thoroughly drenching the damsels. They, being much frightened, ran away holloing, and one solemnly declares that it was the Lord “turned loose” on them, and cau’t be convinced otherwise. Home Tribune: We learn that Mr. Fred L. I’almer, of this city, has passed his trial examination and been admitted to West Point. There were 105 applicants examined at the same time, of which number 30 failed. Georgia’s delegation of three passed tlie trying ordeal of exam ination without a single failure. Sumter Republican: The third annual fair of the Randolph county agricultural society will be held at their grounds in Cuthbert on the 1st, 2nd and 3d days of July. Extensive preparations are being made for tlie occasion and liberal premi ums arc offered. Everybody is invited to attend and carry articles of every kind for exliibition. Several distinguished speak ers will be on hand. A liberal programme of amusements. Anangements will be made with the railroads for cheap trans portation. Let every one go that can, and encourage the agricultural interests of the couuty. Hon. Thomas Hardeman.—I.a- Grange Reporter: According to ap pointment, this gentleman, who is a can didate for tlie nomination for governor, made a speech in LaGrange last Satur day. Wc are glad to say lie had a large audience, the courthouse being tilled. Col. Hardeman is not very well known ft~_- gaily to the people of Troup: but —him belter after his speech. He made a vei*J „ , : H declined to attack his Tin the race, but gave them credit for being. toned, honorable gentleman. He said the political issue in Georgia now is simply the onts against the ins.” Hartwell Sun: A revival com menced in Gainesville, Ga., on the 1st day of April, and continued til, the 9th day of June. In one of the love-feasts a child under six years of age was the first speaker, and the next was an old saint over seventy years of age. In the love- feast six different denominations united— Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Epis copalians, Northern Methodists, and Southern Methodists. There were 250 conversions. One hundred joined the Methodist church, nine the Presbyterian and six the Baptist. Athens Chronicle: LieutenantMayne left college for good last Saturday. The lientenaiit has been among us for some time, and his absence will be greatly noticed by ail who have been so fortunate as to have been thrown witli him during his collegiate course, however short of duration. Savannah News: We notice in the list of assignments of the recent cadet graduates at West Point, just completed by tlie secretary of war, that Cadet James B. Erwin, of Savannah, who graduated with credit, lias been assigned as lieuten ant of company L, fourth United States cavalry. Lieutenant Erwin is a son ot Robert Erwin, Esq., 6f this city, and a brother of R. G. Erwin, Esq., of the law firm of Messrs. Chisholm & Erwin. Griffin News: We have heard more complaint this year about labor than we have heard for years. We heard a plant er in this town say yesterday that nearly every hand in his neighborhood had quit his employers and left them with a crop on hand to cultivate, and no labor’to do it witli. There is a law on our statute books requiring the laborer aud the em ployer to to fill their contracts, and if our fanner friends would comply with that law they could enforce their contracts. The statute requires that a written con tract should be made and approved by tlie judge of the County Court ami put upon record in his office. When this is done, if the laborer or employer neglects or re-, fuses to comply with tlie contract, the party violating it can be cited to court to show cause wny he should not comply, and the court can, npon hearing the case, re quire a compliance, and if the party still refuses, the court can order them to jail for contempt. If this statute was com plied with, the fanners would find hut little trouble in keeping their bands. Savannah News: We learn from g mtleinen living in South Carolina, along tick river aad tlie vicinity, that a disease of a malignant character lias for some weeks been prevalent among the dogs in that neighborhood, and many valuable animals have been sacrificed. The symp toms are similar to the rabies, and the dogs affected manifest a disposition to avoid people, but ere very savage towards animals. Several planters have lost fine horses and cows which were bitten by dogs affected with this madness. Strange to say, a few people who have been bitten ‘ have not been apparently affected in tlie least, whilst the horses and cows that were attacked suffered greatly and died. The exact character of the disease is not known, though, from the symptoms, it would seem lo be akiu to hydrophobia; the animals affected rushed at once for water. A youth, who wa3 bitten by one of these “mad” dogs a week or two ago, was brought to Savannah for medical treatment, and speedily recovered, aud has exhibited no evil effects of the bite. We learn that the mortality among tlie canines has been very great, "aud several gentlemen have lost entire kennels of flue dogs. The dogs affected with the disease have been killed in many instances before they had time to spread the infection by biting. The disease still prevails, though for lack of material not to the same ex tent. Toccoa News: John Duyer, a son ol “old Erin,” was arraigned before his Honor Judge Sutton on the charge of vagrancy. The judge asked Dim if lie was ready for trial. ‘-Yes,” said he; “you may convict me and I am ready to await the sentence.” The judge then asked him if he had any money. He replied, “not less than a thousand dollars, but it is owing to me.*’ The court then proceeded to qualify the witnesses, and just as they laid tneir bands on the book tlie prisoner drew from Ids pocket a small jewsbarp and began to play that old familiar air, “At sixteen yearn of age I was me mother’s lair haired boy,” | they say the South is not to have a fast mail service until next November. Wo did think the fiscal year for which the fast mails appropriation was voted, begins next Thursday—so it does in the East and West—hut in the South it does not begin, it seems, until November.. The South always comes in at the tail end, and in this matter the appropriation will doubtless bo so well absorbed by Novem ber, that the authorities will conclude that the South can wait until another one is made by Southern votes. It will, in that event, have sereral years to wait. Athens Chronicle: We regret to re cord the death, in this city, of Mr. John Saye, brother of Mr. R. W. Save, the well known contractor, on last Wednesday af ternoon, aged about 76 years. He had been a sufferer for a long time, but boro it all with patience. Savannah News: It will be seen in our advertising columns that tho steamer Carrie, which was sunk some time ago, and which, as we have previously noted, was .raised a few weeks since for the pur pose’ of being put in repair, has been thoroughly overhauled, and is now ready to resume her regular trips. She will leave Kelly’s wharf for Augusta and way land ings to-morrow evening, and regularly every Tuesday thereafter at 5 o’clock p. m. For freight or passage, application must be made to Messrs. H. M. Comer & Co., 110 Bay street, her agents. Dublin Gazette: Our choice for Sena tor, as has been expressed before, is lion. A. O. Bacon. A man who, it is true, is rather young, which opposition has al ready been argued against him; yet Col. Bacon has a mind as well matured hs many men in public positions of trust and honor many years liis senior. No liner executive officer can be found in the State, and none more true and steadfast. Many of «ir country people know Col. Bacon personally, he havingat times been among them, and he will doubtless get our rep- lesentative’s vote. Atlanta Constitution: Eufavla, Ala., June 25.—A very sad aud fatal accident happened to one of our young men last night about 8 o’clock. A crowd of young men went down on the bluff to fire a few guns over the result -of the Cincinnati convention in nominating Hancock for our next President. They fired about four shots, using cotton for wadding. While Mr. Ed Stephens was loading the cannon for the next shot, standing in front of the gun, throwing in powder with his hands and ramming with an axe- liandle, the cannon accidentally went off, tearing both hands and arms into frag ments. Dro. Baker, Johnson and Holt were immediately called for. When they reached the spotthey at once decided that amputation was necessary. They amputa ted one arm last night, and were to am putate the other one this morning, but be fore they did so Mr. Stephens died. It is useless for me to say that the occurrence is regretted, and saddens the hearts of all the city. Mr. Stephens was a mechanic of high standing, a sober, quiet, hard working, unassuming young man, and liked by every one who knew him. Two or three little boys of the crowd were con siderably burned with powder, but notlv- ing serious will result to them. The whole crowd was very enthusiastic over the nomination of Hancock, and Mr. Ste phens lost his life over a cannon by mak ing a display of ids great delight. Monroe Advertiser: When the car load of lumber belonging to tlie college was burned. Col. Adams wrote to D. It. Wadley & Co., Brentwood, Wayne coun ty, Ga.", to know if they could replace the loss with seasoned lumber. The reply from Messrs. Wadley & Co. was, that they had no dry lumber, but would do- ;,-»e a carload of new lumber to replace the Diu... j„ the name of the community we trnun. Savannah Neics: Mr. Nicno»«- «-si. old and well known citizen, died at residence on Waters road, on Satur day, about two o’clock in the afternoon, after a protracted illness of several mouths, and, although the announcement was not unexpected, it was received with general expression of regret. Mr. Geil was borh iu Monsemlieim, a borough of Ilesse Darmstadt—of which town liis father was burgomaster, or may or, for many years—in 1822. He came to Savannah in 184:’, and engaged iu truck fanning near the city, which business he steadily pursued, with much success, un til his death. He was a lieutenant in the DeKalb Riflemen, of this city, of which company he was one of the original mem bers, and was also a member of tlie Ger man Volunteers, of the Scliuetzen Geseli- cliaft, aud a worthy brother of Zerubba- bei Lodge, F. A. M. Monroe Advertiser: Rev. Mr. Rush in charge of the Forayth Methodist circuit, has induced the people of the churches be serves to repair the parsonage premises, and, under his own direction, the improve ments are going forward. Dilapidated outhouses and tumbling fences will soon be joyfully missed from this lot. Mr. Rush is quite an old man, but has more industry and vigor than many of the younger ones. Much praise to him for the good work he is doiug. We learn from the Savannah News that non. J. L. Warren was elected chairman of the executive committee of the Democ racy of Chatham county. A ratification meeting was held Tuesday night at the theatre, Gen. A. R. Lawton addressing the masses. The Lester club is displaying wonder ful activity in Savannah. It is composed of some of the best citizens of the “Forest City.” By' the outgoing train on tlie Savan nah, Florida and Western railway last Saturday a boy of thirteen was discovered on the long trestle over the Altamaha swamp. The lad became frightened and left what would liave proved a safe re treat underneath the crossties and started to run before tho approaching train. The air-brakes were put on but not until the engine had struck the unfortunate youth and hurled him to the swamp below. At first it seemed to the passengers that lie was dead, but convulsive motions were soon discovered. The engineer slid down one of the posts, picked him up ana had him carried to the sleeping car, where a bed was prepared for him. He was con veyed to Jesup, a doctor meanwhile hav ing been summoned by telegraph to meet the train on its arrival. On reaching Jesup, Dr. Lester, of that place, took the boy in charge and did all that was possible to be done under the circumstances. An examination showed that tlie lad’s skull was fractured by striking a log in the swamp. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Colonel H. S. Haines, superintendent of the Savannah, Florida aud Western rail way, who, on learning of the accident, our informant states, immediately sent Dr- Win. Duncan, of this city, to Jesup by pecial train, to look after the boy. It was a noble act, and entitles Col. Haines to the gratitude of all who lore their fel low creatures. Neither the road nor tlie engineer were in any degree responsible; and had the boy-been the son of wealthy parents, instead of a little barefooted waif, Colonel Haines could have done no more to aid him in Ills distress. It stamps him as a noble, kind-hearted man, and those who are cognizant of his con duct in this matter will never cease to honor and esteem him. Tlie passengers were enthusiastic in their expressions of commendation of his course. Albany- News: We learn that black bears in large numbers infest Coolawa-. bee swamp, in the neighborhood of the Cruger and Davis places, about nine miles west of the city, in tlie “Oaky Woods’ district. As many as six of these ani mats have been seen recently at one time, and there are said to be great numbers of them in the swamp. They have played havoc with the com fields,and are a source of no little annoyance and loss to the fanners in the neighborhood, especially so as it is not a very easy matter to get rid of them.

Weaver received fatal in juries on the head from a tire poker. lie died after lingering in an unconscious con dition several days. Cale Barron was promptly arrested and his commitment trial had on Tuesday last before Justices Clay and Owen, at Pleasant Hill. He was committed to jail on a charge of assault with intent to mur der. Parties colored. Atlanta Post: Gen. Grant has de clared in favor of Gcueral Hancock and Judge Loclirane has come back to the Democratic fold. Come in, Judge, your vote will count as much as that of any Democrat who lias never broken ranks. True, Uncle Jonathan Norcross squad will be diminished by one, but Uncle Jonathan’s loss is Democratic gain. Cleveland Advertiser: Some of our exchanges intimate quite strongly that Senator Brown is a Republican. Keep quiet, gentlemen, and don’t say too many hard things. Georgia never had a better friend than Joseph E. Brown; and, be sides, we believe he is a true Democrat, and ever has been. One thing is certain, the people of Georgia will not forget Ins good acts toward the soldiers and their families during the late war. Grasshoppers.—Talbotton Register, These pests have recently made their ap- jiearance on tlie plantation of Mr. D. G. Owen, near Pleasant Hill, and swarm over his fields by the thousands. They have attacked a field ofjcom for him, do- A1I ^efforts lo exterminate them have proven fruitless. In size they are rather smaller and much more active than the common grasshopper, with an appetite keener than a new sickle. We do not know the exact extent of tho damage thus far perpetrated. Atlanta Post: Gen. Bob Toomb3 cordially endorses tlie nomination of Han cock, and says: “The Lord is on our side at last. A better nomination could not have been made. I have not voted for a Presidential candidate in twelve years, but can support this ticket-with pleasure.” The editor of the A.lbany Neics has recently been to Cincinnati, and lias this to say about her Southern railroad: This road was built aud is owned en tirely by the city of Cincinnati. It cost nearly S20,000,000, and is a line indepen dent of combinations, which is run in the interest of that city, and was constructed for Southern trade. Cincinnati, by her liberality and enterprise, is reaping rich reward. She is rapidly becoming the principal market for the South, and when the State of Ohio salutes Southern Democ racy with a handsome Hancock majority in November next, her “Queen City” will be closer still and receive greater encour agement from the tollers of the South. Cincinnati is a great city—great in wealth, in manufacturing enterprises, in tlie mineral and agricultural resources of the country surrounding her, and in the warm, cordial and congenial liberality of her people. A special dispatch to tlie Atlanta Daily Post from Augusta, dated June 29tb, says: James A. Gray, an old and respected citizen, a leading merchant and capitalist, died at this place this moni’ng at seven o’clock. His death was the re- Thc Man on the Monument Again. The crowd had dispersed; the echoes of the cannon had died away, and tho flick ering embers of the fire3 cast fanciful shadows throughout the scene, when I paused in front of the monument, and viewed again in the moonlight, the mar ble sentinel whose watch is above the bivouac of the dead. What changes, I thought, has not time wrought. Here, at the foot of this stone, whose chiseled lines record the form of him who was the South’s defender, and tlie golden beauty of her cause now perished, we, the- people whoso blood has stained a hundred fields, have met to celebrate the honoring of one whose hand once turned against us, now upholds the banners of the South and North, their folds entwining in the breeze. What has not time wrought? Tho pas sions that impelled are quenched, the ha tred that persecuted is powerless, and the swords, sheathed in their scabbards, hang rusting with age upon the nation’s cot tage walls. But our Cause 1 Sleeps it still? And as I looked, a smile grew bright upon those marble lips above me, and low and soft as the summer waves that mur mur on the beach, a voice was heard: “Arise, oh, Southland; greet thy morn. Thy cause, thy lily cause, long folded, blooms brighter for its sleep.” The tyrant drags his chains across the world, finding no hand to strike one fetter off, and he whose knightly hand crossed blades with ours and fought and bled as heroes fight and bleed, looks grandly down the land; the sword hand outstretching far, is hid be neath the olive branch, and lifted high, the Southern Lily, whiter than the driven snow, all spotless greets tlie mom. The flower of liberty, which not the valor of despair couid keep unfolded in the midday’s heat, beneath the touch of Him who worketli his own way, has burst its bonds and caught the golden kiss of the new born day. It but awaits thy brow, aud ho whose hand shall place it there is worthy of thy trust. The soldier’s spirits greets the soldier’s call, There is no hate between the brave and brave, And he whose hand in battle labored first . When darkness falls, will labor first to save.” The lips grew silent, the marble pallor swept across the face again, the mantle of immortality, aud but the chiseled stone remained. Yet in the night around, I heard tho rolling ot a distant drum, whose echoes rose and fell, and died across a thousand hills. A fiery’ cross shone back beyond the clouds, and neath it rose and stood a lino of gray-clad forms. I saw the Chieftain aud and his great Lieuten- TkeGrcatXetMr. ITEMS OF NEWS.

Orders and every leaf sprang out of the glcom J solicited, and quivered in the weird radiance that shone npon them. The glow wa3 differ ent from any light we have ever seen; it was not the light of tho sun, the moon, nor did it resemble gaslight. It was nearer the electric light than any, yet a thousand times more powerful. In an instant the trees were pictured on the ground, and slowly their black shad ows moved past our feet and length ened behind us. Instantly every faco was turned upward, and a most striking apparition met the view. Not a star was left, but directly above, at tho zenith, a great mass of fire whirled in air. It re volved in the centre of a radiance, incom parable, and moved slowly down the northeastern sky with majestic grandeur. At forty-five degrees elevation the light changed to a brilliant red, paled into saf fron and then into all the shades of green. As it began to change its hues it emit ted particles or balls of fire that followed or lingered in its wake. Surrounding it also in this stage, was a vapor or smoke that reflected all the colors through which the ball had changed. At thirty degrees elevation the light went out. Three min utes glided away, then there burst upon the ear a deep toned boom, that rose and fell in reverberations for thirty seconds.

He was dead, with his head crushed and a bottle of whisky found near him. It is not known whether toe man was killed by a passing train, or whether lie was murdered and placed on the track. If killed by the train, it was done on Saturday night, and his body lay on the track most of the day Sunday. We learn that he was at a public meet ing in Troy on Friday, and that lie was in an intoxicated condition. He lived only a few miles from Troy, aud was a fisherman by trade. Eatonton Female College. Eatonton, June 28, I860. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The closing exercises of tho Eatonton Female Academy began yesterday with a sermon to tho school by tlie Rev. W. A. Dodge, pastor of toe Eatonton Methodist Church. Mr. Dodge discarded the stereotyped style usual on such occasions, and delivered an earnest, zealous exhortation suited to the occasion, replete with good thought aud sound logic. To-day tlie examinations begin, extend ing through tlie entire week. These examinations have always been thorough and complete, no extra preparations being made for the occasion, and everybody is cordially invited to attend and test, per sonally, the thoroughness of the work. The nights will be devoted to the class exhibitions, and if Mr. A. J. Bran ham conducts them with his usual care, they will be well worth seeing. The academy hall will be packed to-night to witness the exhibition of the Sophomore class. Can’t you send over some of your worthy people to see what their little neighbor is accomplishing la her excellent schools? J. A. Cameron, who was charged with burglarizing Judge Lawson’s safe two years ago, and fled after giving bonds iu the sum of $600, has been captured in Denver City, Col., and is now safely on his way to Eatonton in the custody of Col.

So brilliant was the light that people were awakened in their houses, and sprang lrom their beds in alarm. It produced quite a fright, also, among the negroes in the city and county, many of whom thought the final end had come. Several gentlemen heard the explosion and felt the earth tremble. At Hawkins ville, forty miles south of here, the meteor was observed, too rumbling heard and a shock felt. The phenomena was observed for forty miles north and south of Macon. Altogether, it was a remarkable hap pening. Telegrams sent out from the Tele graph and Messenger office elicited the following from Eatonton .* “Meteor observed, but did not strike near here. Appeared to go in a southern direction.” Eatonton is sixty miles northeast of Macon, and the meteor doubtless fell twenty miles south ot that point, or as we first calculated, forty miles from Macon. Home Industry. We have often wondered why more people did not embark in what are termed “home industries.” If we cannot each have a canal, or individually are unable to start a cotton factory or seme other industry upon a grand scale, wo can do something upon a smaller basis. There are many vocations, which do not require so much capital as they do pluck, and a determi nation to succeed. Our ideas are general ly too high. We want to do something wonderful, and because wo cannot aston ish the world with our enterprise, we foolishly decide to donothiug. One man, at least, iu our community has demonstrated that success can be achieved in the smaller industries. We re fer to Mr. E. R. Anthony, who lives in toe suburbs of the city. He has a vineyard ef about six acres, iu which lie cultivates about eighty varieties of grapes. The most profitable varieties cultivated by this gentleman are the Hartford Prolific and the Concord, although several oth ers are highly prized and extensively cultivated. He has also quite an exten- teusive fruit orchard, having about seven ty-live varieties of peaches, aud something like one hundred varieties of pears. He has been a diligent husbandman, and combining intelligence with industry, he has made what others thought was a mis take, a success. His wine is celebrated all through mid dle Georgia, and commands a remunera tive pi ice iu this ctiy. His fruit is a fail ure this year, as it is almost everywhere Still he is not discouraged, but is making continual improvements and expects to reap a bountiful harvest next year. He left with us a sample of the Hartford Pro lific, which was exceedingly fine. Should any one desire to spend an evening pleas antly during his ride he could not do better than pay a visit to this gentleman’s vineyard, next to Mell’s garden, beyond Tatnal square. Plucked Out of tk* West. Yesterday afternoon Cameron, the man who stands accused of the baiglary of Colonel Lawson’s residence in Eatonton, teu years ago, arrived in tbi3 city from Colorado, in charge of two of his bonds men, and was lodged m Bibb county jail for safe keeping until this morning, when he goes to the scene of his alleged crime. A reporter visited him in jail last night, and found him heavily ironed, hut cheer ful and confident of acquittal. In conversation with Cameron learned that he was arrested in Denver, Colorado, about two weeks since, upon in formation furnished by a Macon man, whose name he did not know. Placed in jail, ho was held until his two bondsmen arrived in that ciiy, and took him in charge. He left Denver on Saturday night, the 19th instant, and has been in irons, and unable to change his clothes since. He is anxious for a trial and set tlement oftbe affair. Cameron is charged with the burglary of Col. Lawson’s safe in April 1S7S; from the safe it is said $6,000 and papers worth $12,000 were taken. It will be remem bered that blood, as though from acciden tal aelf-wouuding on the part of the burg lar, was found upon the safe, aud a match box near at hand. Suspicion fell upon Cameron, who ran a saw mill near the depot. It was found that his hand was hurt, and other incidents of a circum stantial nature having come to light, he was arrested, and placed under a bond of $13,000, this, ‘ however, being soon after reduced to $6,000 by Judge Bartlett. Cameron gave this bond and skipped the country. He claims that he is innocent, and that he forfeited his bond because a man had been found to swear that he (Cameron) bad made a full confession of the crime. He says he left property enough to indemnify his bondsmen, viz: two saw mills, two grist mills, oxen, carts, etc. This is the prisoner’s statement. It is likely that he will have a tough time in proving his innocence.

History* and Strawberry Packing. It is a curious fact, says the London News, that tbe packing of strawbetries, raspberries and similar fruits on the sys tem of putting all the choicest fruit on the top and the spoilt fruit underneath is oue of honorable antiquity, for it was alluded to in the form of a political apologue by Queen Elizabeth about three centuries ago.

Paris, June 30.—Tlie police arrived at the Jesuit establishment iu the Rue de Levres at 4 o’clock this morning. They were immediately admitted. Shortly af ter a crowd of five hundred persons, com posed largely of students and women, col lected. There was some shouting for and against the decrees. The police partly cleared the street and refused to admit M. Baudry d’Asson to the building. The prefect of police having arrived, the build ing was formally declared closed. The Je suits, accompa-ied by several deputies and senators of tbe right, departed, amid great excitement, caused by demonstrations by then sympathizers and counter demon strations. There were indignant cries against the prefect of police. In the ensuing scuffle, the Marquis of Diancoura and the chief editor of the Union, a Legiti mist journal, were arrested. Some of the fathers locked themselves in their cells, which had to be broken open. The last left at &30 o’clock. The police then cleared the street, and remain on gaurd. At Vais the door of the establishment had to be forced open and the Jesuits con ducted out by soidieis, a battalion of whom were present under arms. At Du val and Lille the police were not resisted. London, June 30.—A Paris dispatch to the Times says the Jesuit chapels were thronged Tuesday in the provinces. At Lille five hundred persons, headed by the chairman of the chamber of commerce, waited on the Jesuits to express their sympathy for them. " The last of a series of meetings was held in Paris yesterday to protest against the anti-Jesuit decrees. A crowd assem bled outside the building, and blows were exchanged between the mob outside and those issuing from the hal'. The mob hooted a number of priests who had been at the meeting. A Paris dispatch to the Times says: An immense crowd of people, composed of the upper classes, lias been flocking all day (Tuesday) to tlie principal Jesuit es tablishments of Paris in succession. Thousands of persons carried off flowers as mementoes. Even the crowd outside made no hostile demonstrations as they witnessed the departure of tbe inferior brothers. Sir Stafford Nortlicote will move the re jection of Mr. Gladstone’s resolution on the Bradlaugh question by means of an amendment, which is considered a weak er form than the direct question. London, June 30.—A Paris d is natch to the Times says: Before the present Chamber of Deputies breaks up, M. Gam- betta, president of the Chamber, will again appear in toe tribune to advocate toe read option of the list system of voting. This system will certainly be adopted, as all who opposed it would know that their names would not appear on the list sup ported by M. Gambelta. Very few of the Left would care to run such risk of non election. M. Ganibetta’s own name will appear as a candidate for every depart ment. The country will be appealed to to favor the programme drawn up by him. His election by a large majority of departments will constitute a plebiscite in liis favor. He will bo President of the Republic in 1882, if President Grevy, by remaining iu office, allows him to wait till then.
