Now that we are to have with us in a few days Mr. Jesse W. Starr, Jr., the con tractor and bnilder of the Charleston wa terworks, it may be interesting to our cit izens to see what he has accomplished lor that seaport city. The Charleston carrespondent of The South, gives a full description of the works, from which we clip the following: — / ARTESIAN WELLS. V Charleston is located far away from the highlands. More .than thirty yogis ago an artesian well was bored there to the depth of 1,252 feet. In 1850 another was bored to the deptli of 1,230 feet. The third aud last lias recently been comple ted. Its depth is 1,905 feet, and its daily flow is 465,000. The temperature of the water from this well is about 97 degrees. The water from ail of them is of the greatest purity, and is so soft that it can be used for all purposes. For drinking it is unsurpassed. It is void of all offensive taste and smell, and is as limpid as a mountain spriug. It was for tho purpose of utilizing this water that the Charleston waterworks •company was formed. ENGINE-ROOM. Tliis room is a model of neatness and elegance. It is thirty feet from .floor ,to ceiling, and a gallery extends entirely around it, from wliiel$-a ,fino view is af forded of the m&eliifafery. ii r . boilers. > Fifl The two WiegamlSafety Boilers, -which arc encased in solid masonry, were made by Thompson Brothers, of Philadelphia. They are noted as superior steam genera tors, and as economizers of fuel. ihscharoetcmps. Each discharge pump has a discharging capacity of 4,009,000 gallons every twenty- four hours. STAND-PIPE. The stand-pipe is 18 feet in diameter and 95 feet high. It has & capacity of 247,000 gallons, with pressure to the square inch of 45 pounds. RESERVOIR. The reservoir has acapacity of3,200,000 gallons. Its walls are of brick, nine inches in thickness, laid in cement. It is 153 feet in width, 190 feet' long, and 22 feet in depth, on a level!* “ street; mains. The contract With the city includes twelve miles of street mains. 'These are from six to twenty inches in diaraoter, and arc to be furnished BithN requisite stop valves. .,\{ ;■ l-Ti" COMPLETION OF'^niE TASK. The 12th of MayMast w&s a.meinorable day for Charleston, At 11-O‘clock in the morning of that day the water .from the artesian well on tlfc Citadel Green began to flow into tbe reservoir. Interested spectators were present to witness the event, and the occasion wa3 one of rejoic ing. It was the realization of long-cher- isheil hopes, and must .contribute to the welfare of every resident of thq city. THE CONTRACTOR. The execution "of this undertaking is due to Mr. Jesse IV. Starr, Jr., of Cam den, N. J-, a gentleman of great*, enter prise, energy and perseverance. He un dertook the work in the midst pf many discourageiaents; and has pushed it for ward in defiance of them all,to a triumph ant completion. Although a young man, he has had an extensive experience in conducting large enterprises, and by force of his rare executive accomplishments he has carried them successfully through. Before completing his work at Charles ton, Mr. Starr closed a contract with the citv cf Joliet, Ill., for a system of water works on the same plan as these, and is now engaged iu its execution. Wine Growing in Hawkinsville. On his recent visit to Hawkinsville, the writer was glad to avail himself of the opportunity to inspect the vineyard, wine factory and vaults of those celebrated growers and manufacturers of tho pure juice of tho grape, Messrs. Schneider & Starowski. These gentlemen, bringing with them the practical experience of the old countries, have for many years been engaged in wine culture with the most signal success. The demand for each year’s product far exceeds the sup ply, and they are constantly adding to the size of their vineyards. The varieties of the grape most preferred arc the Dele- ware, white Concord, red Concord and Hartford. They raise no senppernongs. Samples of the wine manufactured, Jjy this firm are pronounced by connoisseurs equal to the best of foreign importation, Tlielr farm and vineyard Is located about one mile from Hawkinsville, iu the su burb known as Pine Level. Through the courtesy of Mr. Schneider, one of the pro prietors, we were permitted ta witness the whole process of wine making, and will give the reader the benefit of our observa tioins in brief. • ' : 1 Imprimis, theiipest and best grapes are thrown into the hopper of a patented mill, and by tbe turning of a crank, ground and crushed into a pnlpy mass. This method supersedes the old plan of; expressing the juice by the trampling of human feet, and does it more effectually, to say nothing of the prejudice against dirty “understand ings.” i The grape “mash” is then transferred into a powerful press and by the aid of levers, so thoroughly squeezed that most of the liquid is extracted and conveyed forth with through rubber hose Into the huge casks iu the vault beneath. After waiting twenty-four hours for Jlje first stages of fermentation to begin, this pulp again subjected to increased pressure, and the product used in the manufacture of an inferior grade of wine. Finally, the pulp mixed with water, is deposited in barrels, and in the course of about one year is converted into excellent vinegar. The vault is an excavation of about 20 feet in depth, extending the whole length of the building, and wailed in with rock. In this cool receptacle are arranged in rows the immense casks of the capacity of S20 gallons each, which receive the grape juice from the press. These vessels cost from $25 to $50 apiece, and the staves are two inches in thickness. After the introduction of the juice, fer mentation sets in and continues for tbe space of two weeks. The open bungs on the sides of the casks are fitted with glass siphons, which discharge the escaping air through goblets of water, causing a con stant bubbling sound, and effectually ex cluding gnats and other insects. When the fermentation ceases, the Wine is allowed to settle for about six months and is then racked off. About May, of thg following year, it is ready for bottling, but improves indefinitely with the lapse of time. The boquet and flavor of the spicimcns two years old that were Submitted, were exquisite. These native wines should always be kept tightly corked to prevent souring. Though in its infancy, grape culture is destined to be one of the leading indus tries of Southern Georgia, and is exceed ingly profitable. Thousands of acres of vines are now added annually to tbe area Under cultivation, and one large wine company with ample capital has been es tablished at Cutbbert, Georgia. Ere long we trust Georgia will take rank with Cal ifornia in the extent and quality of her vintages. “Hancock’s Boom WH1 Die Out.” nvroTiiEsis -vs. Facts. Only one thing consoles the Garfield en gineers in view of the existing condition li is that tho “Hancock boom will die out.”* They do not question the fact that there is such a “boom,” or, in other words,-that the popular mind. Is very strongly impressed in favor of the Dem ocratic nominee. That pojpitls admitted <>n all hands. Their Aopeisibab^fliwill die out.” The case, tlierif Stands thus: On the one side a universally admitted fact; on the other a doubtful hypothesis that by and by this fact will cease to exist, Something in the chapter of accidents is going to happen to take away Hancock’s popularity and turn at least a part of it over to Garfield; Wait till this Hancock boom is over. Wait till the riycr runs past and then we can cross dry shod. It is ms that the so-called Bcpublican ieaders are waiting for—just as the rural- ist waited for the crowd to get by before he began his ramble on Broadway. And it i3 very sagacious people who are waiting for the “Hancock boom” to blow over. Old politicians—leading newspaper ediiors—hoary-headed party file leaders, arc among those who are waiting." They are doing It because there is.little else to be done. TLat Is tho only promise of the situation, as they see it. If the boom doeS not die out, Gar field is gone, and they are gone, It is indispensable that it should “die out,” aul therefore they must and will hope to see it die out. They can’t afford to give up the hope that it will die out; for if the boom does not die, they must. The situation; it will be seen, is strin gent, aud we tlnnk it is hopeless, aud will even grow worse for them. The more tho character and record of Hancock are in vestigated the better the people will like them, aud the more numerous will be Lis following. He is a thoroughly self-poised, judicious and patriotic man. On the other hand, Garfield’s support will' he brought up by stern party drill. This will make it formidable, but it will be insuffi cient. It is a matter of fact that the wasted Democratic force is the largest. And even upon Mr. Tilden’s idea that the Demo crats must carry two-thirds of the popular vote of the United States to secure an available victory, the chances will be good. We believe Gen. Hancock will re ceive that vote. Some of the Radical politicans are quoted as of opinion that Garfield will be withdrawn as a hopeless case, and Grant put in the field. That is impracticable; but even i£done, under existing circum stances, it would scarcely improve mat ters. The judgment of the Republican party, recorded against the third term, would he ratified by the country. Tbe confession of mistake would he accepted add pass to practical record. Something miraculous and altogether out of the common , run of human af fairs may possibly happen to reverse the general conclusion that the socalled Republican party is foredoomed to in evitable defeat, but tbe day of miracles is past, and tbe more natural conclusion is tlrat, as they go on, difficulties aud embar rassments will increase. Nevertheless, they will snuggle to the last for self-ex trication, and so the Democrats every where should put forward their best efforts to improve the advantages they have al ready gained. ^ School Readers.—The First, Second, The Volunteer Soldiery. What the Military Convention Did at Rome. Our readers are aware that during tho past week quite a number of military com panies frem various parts of the -Stute fonned an encampment at Rome, Ga. which was named in honor of General Lee. Before dispersing, a convention of the oflicers'lhirteTd in Shorter Hall to Crops in Southwest Georgia. A late visit to several of the most fer tile counties of southwest Georgia reveals the sad fact that there is imminent dau- gcr of a dearth in “the staff of life,” un less planters are swift to crowd in an ex tra amount of “close pease,” and will sow largo breadths in turnips, fodder- corn, and small grain. There to no dis guising the truth that the com crop In al most every section has been cutofffnliy from one-third to the half of an average yield. This to the more to be regretted as the acreage to undoubtedly smaller than usual, and there has been a partial failure in the oat and wheat crops. The non-rusting oat can, and must be made, however, to retrieve the situation. Let sensible fanners take tiingby the forelock and secure iu season a supply of genuine rust-proof seed. The past season has ef fectually drawn the line between the Si mon pure and the spurious. Now to the time to get a supply of the former. The cotton fields are generally clean and promising. The weed to putting on ani abundance of fruit, and though there Is some talk of caterpillars, no serious ap prehensions are felt on the subject. On the whole, tho prospect to good for a big drop of cotton. The people of the whole State seem to be healthy and in good heart. Personal.—Among the visitors Id the Hawkinsville barbecue we noticed D. N. Speer, Esq., who seems to be the popular candidate for State treasurer. Mr. Speer to possessed of one virtue (seme people esteem it a fault) which it is refreshing to observe in these degenerate times; ard that to genuine, unaflected modesty. He to no button-lioler or wire-puller, but a plain, honest, unassuming gentleman, who would suffer martyrdom a thousand times before allowing the State to be de frauded out of a single cent of her treas ure or rightful dues. Should he be elected, we guarantee there will be no ‘pecialiv j n ^gjggt]ng committee at his heels, and no impeachment and technical acquittal by the Senate of Georgia. A man above sus picion-pure, upright and intelligent—he would make an excellent officer, and de serves the suffrages of the people. ' The Bice Crop.—The Charleston Keics and Courier says that the rice Crop on the Ashepoo, Cooper and Comba- liee is represented to be in a very unsatis factory condition. The drought has been frarful, and. alUiougk some heavy rains iiqve fallen during the last two or three weeks, without more abnndanl showers tire crops are likely to be very seriously Jamaged. The swamps and low lands at iie source of the rivers have been so dry for tliree years past that the ground has cracked open and a new growth has com menced in all the water reserves. The salt water has run up the three rivers into flXrlpo regions, and Ihtealcus destruc tion tatiie fields if taken into the gates. A New Substitute for Ice inSkat- 1N«.—A new kind of floor for skating- rinks lias been put down in London. It is tbe invention of Dr. Calantarients, of Scarborough, and cons’sts mainly m a mixture of the carbonate and sulphate of soda, forming a crystalline mass which offers about the same amount of resist ance to the passage of a skate-iron as ice. It is claimed for the new floor that it will last for many years at a small expense. It cuts up just like ice, but is easily re paired aud smootlieU;;-by adapted, steaming apparatus.

From the first to the last they constitute a well graded series, introducing the learner, by successive steps, from tbe alphabet to tlie well set tled principles'of elocution.

But the assailant fails to sign his name to the allegations, and docs not support his malicious statements with a scintilla of proof. Such attempts at de traction are simply contemptible and un deserving of the slightest notice. This much we feel constrained to say in defense ofjan honorable public official who has ever borne a stainless reputation before the cotmtry. . _ , Gifts to Methodism.—Methodism is under many obligations to Mr. George I. Senev, president of the New York Metro politan Bank, for latg° pecuniary bles sings showered upon it in receut years. In various ways he has served it-; conspic uously as a friend of Wesleyan Universi ty- when a friend like unto him was needed. To the endowment fund he some time ago had donated sums aggrega ting S125.000, and it is . now giv en out that he has added to the fund $50,000 more, making a total gift of $175,000. In other ways ho has helped the institution in times when it needed practical aid to carry on the work. With the news of tliis gift it is fnrther an nounced that Mr. Seney has built at Ber- naidsvillc, N. J., a new cburch at a cost of $10,000, and that he has made a gift of it to the Methodist Society. Bernards- villc to the seat of his country home. Mr. Seney to a graduate of Wesleyan and the son of a Methodist preacher who Lad re ceived a classical education at a time when graduates of colleges were rare in the Methodist pulpit. The Chief Spanish Princess.—-Tho Princess of Asturias goes* to Germany to negotiate three marriages. Slie is tired of being a widow, and would like, in with drawing from the position she lias held since her brother’s restoration, to become an Archduchess of Austria. Her sisters, Paz and Enialie, she would marry to the son of her aunt, tlie Infanta Amelia, and Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria, and to tbe Archduke Eugene, brother of Queen Christina. This Bavarian Prince nar rowly missed being King of Greece. Adalbert, bis fattier, was to have suc ceeded Otho. Archduke Eugene is very rich, and an elegant cavnlier and dancer. He is already a leader of cotilinns and or ganizer of tableau rirants. The Princess of Asturias to a feminine deliberate upon the condition and wants of the volunteer service. Col. Clifford Anderson, of Savannah was elected chairman, and Lieutenant John Lumpkin, secretary. The presi dent, before taking his seat delivered an exceedingly pertinent aud patriotic ad dress, settmgforth the great value of the voluuteer organizations of the State, and the necessity of sustaining them by legisla tive action. He said the volunteer force of this country must be considered the palladium of its security, and the first ef fectual resort in case of hostilities. The maxim of the greatest captain of ancient or modem times—Napoleon Bo naparte—“In times of peace prepare for war,” embodies a wealth of wisdom. Until the millennium shall arrive, the bayonetjstlie best peace maker. It is, indeed, the duty of the several States, and the State solely, to preserve order within its owii limits, dnd the meaus for the ac complishment of that object, consists in a well organized volunteer force of proper material, properly officered, well. discip lined; and last, bu( not least, the volun teer force of this*country to be effective must be fostered by the Sta e for whose protection it is organized. The young men by personal service and the old men liy encouragement—substantial encour agement and praise, a reverent regard for order and respect, and subordination to all lawful authority. And by the fruit of all this a leaven would be diffused which would leaven the whole mass of the peo ple, and we would never again have a re currence of the disgraceful scenes which prevailed in some sections of this country :hree years ago. In ante bellum days, one of the strong supports Of our commonwealth was our military system. At present, however, our law makers seem to have forfeited all interest in our volunteers. Military ar dor is at a low ebb; many of our compa nies have of late disbanded. Ever ready anjd willing, as we have been in the past, anjd are now, to vindicate the peace, order and Jtgnity of Georgia, we are iudeed dis couraged as matters now stand. It to be yond tbe power of any man or men to revive tbe volunteer force, unless we re ceive some recognition from our State. To awaken the people of Georgia to the importance of fostering <Jur military is the object of this convention. Again thank ing you, brother officers, for the honor you have done me, I declare the conven tion now ready for business.” Col. I. Heywood, of Atlanta, moved thM a committee to prepare business for tlie convention be appointed. Adopted, and Colonel neywood, Captain Magruder and Lieutenant Boynton were named as that committee. These gentlemen, after retiring ior consultation, finally reported the following memorial to the next legis lature, which was unanimously adopted: To the General Assembly: We, the offic ers of the volunteer forces of the State of eorgia, in convention assembled, respect fully submit the following memorial: After nearly one year of trial, the system instituted by tlie act of 1879 for the organ ization and discipline of tlie volunteer forces of the State of Georgia has, except as hereinafter set forth, proven entirely adequate for the purpose for which it was passed; the advantage of the system being unity of organization, instruction and dis cipline. But the defect to, that there was no provision made to completely perfect the system then inaugurated by making yearly appropriations for fully equipping and improving tho volunteers. 2. Iu not requiring the governr to order encampments at sucli place as he may deem best, in oitler that both officer and men may receive instructions in the du ties of the soldiers, and providing for the same. 8. In not exempting tlie volunteers from road and street duty.* The volunteer force consists of 3,400 men, who have uniformed themselves at an expense of $12,900; their uiiifomis hav ing been worn for years are now shabby, and many companies need entire outfits, and unless the State comes to their aid many of them will be compelled to dis band, as they are unable to unitoriu themselves. Therefore, we most respect fully ask, 1. That the governor be requested to order encampments and provide for the same. 2. That the volunteers'be exempt from road and street duly. 8. That- an annual appropriation of $30,000 be made for the purpose of thor oughly arming and equipping tlie volun teer forces of the State so that she may be proud of her sons when they come iu con tact with .those of her sister States.

Plain Words Provoked by Provoked Words and Bolivia are at last* to enter into con federation and become one country under one flag and one government and to be known as the United States of Peru and Bolivia. The preliminary basis of union, which has already been drawn up and signed iu Lima by the duly authorized representa tives of the respective governments, has been laid before the council of state of Peru, which body fills tho situation occu pied by congress previous to the dictator ship. What the real object of tlie union may be, or what benefits arc to be de rived from it, are not yet clear to most persons. In Lima it to believed by many that tlie leading object of the confederation to to checkmate Chili in her long cherished project of concluding a separate peace with Bolivia by offering Tier the department of Mongigina, witli Arica in the south of Peru for her clffefseaport, in exchange for. Antapliagosta. This would have suited Chili veiy well, as she would have gainfed possession of the whole of the nitrate: de posits and have Bolivia' wedged in be tween her and her hereafter deadly enemy—Pern. But so* far the Chilian diplomatists have Failed, and now what they gained by the- sword they will have to hold by the sword. Panama, July 6.—A correspondent of the Star and Herald, at Lima, gives the following account of the capture by the Chilians of Tacna and Arica. The allied army at tlie battle of Tacna numbered, all told, 8,820 men, and was out-numbered by the Chilian army two to one. The Chilians threw their whole force on the left flank ot tlie allied army at the outset, instead of in front. The left wing of the allied army was repeatedly reinforced from reserves undm* Montero, but'could not withstand the impetuosity of the Chilian attack, and after a stubborn fight ;ave in, falling back upon the right wing. The Chilian force was doubled. Finally the allies were compelled to retire before the victorious Chilians, and leave' Tacna to its fate. After til's disaster, file fall of Arica was almost inevitable. As soon as the Chil ians had reorganized their army, they sent 0,000 men, under Gen. Boqucdauo, to Liuba by rail, and Arica was summoned toi surrender. Tlie answer was: “Not until the last cartridge is fired.” The Peruvians bad made every preparation to receive the Chilians in front while tlie battles were being fought. The Chilian fleet did not attack in front, but made a long detour toAyapa and prepared to strike tlie Peruvians from the rear. At daybreak of the 7tli, the men In the nefwly constructed forts to the east of the Morrow, saw no signs of the enemy. At the booming of a gun from the seaward, the field was suddenly alive with Chilians, arid in a splendid charge they took the fort in the rear, killing every sonl in it. The next was taken in like manner, and every man there was also bayoneted. While this was going on, the guns from the Morrow were ful ly occupied with the Chilian squadron, and such being the case they could not be turned against. the toe, now preparing for one final rush to capture this post—so long disputed. The charge was made, and after a desperate light, hand to hand, tlie Morrow fell, a-few only of its galiaut defenders escaping to the plaza, where they all gallantly met their death. The San Jose and Santa Rosa batteries were undermined, and the vaults well stocked with explosives, au electric wire connecting them with the Morrow, the intention being if they should fall into the possession of the enemy, to blow them up, The commander ot the Morrow, before dying, touched tlie fatal button, aud de stroyed thereby some four hundred Peru vian soldiers, blown up w't'i the battery of Santa Rosa, not liaving had time to va cate i*. The Cochrane, it is learned from Chil iai> sources; received one shell, which, en tering one of her ports, killed twenty-six meu. The Cavalonga received several shots and had to be run aground. When Lagomarsino, commander of the Peruvian vessel Manco Copxe, saw the heights tak en, he knew there was but one hope for him, and that was to sink his ship, So steaming gently out lie scuttled her, and his men took to the boats, and she keeled over and went to the bottom. Beloved as ho was by the commanders of neutral ves sels, the laws of neutrality would not al low tliem to receive him on board, and he finally surrendered to the captain of tlw Itala. !-■■■. In less than three hours from the firing of tlie first shot all was over, aud the Chilian flag waved triumphantly over Arica. The victorious soldiers were let loose in the city. Nine stores were broken open, and in tlie aftemoou Arica was in flames. Not a single house was left standing. Hundreds of women and children were saved, otherwise the horrors of the pillage would have been worse than they were. It is said Admiral Reveis has declared that if the Chilians come to Lima it will share tho same fate as Arica. Admiral* Martino to reported to have arrived at Pipio on the 11th ultimo, after lito retreat from Tacna.

An' Albany gentleman, who to & friend of the Conkling crowd, says that Conkling’s dislike for Garfield dates back sometime. He says: “In tlie first place, they raise a different breed of men in Ohio now from the gen eration to which Waue anil Chase belong ed. They arc a shifty, shallow, double- faced lot, these Hayeses, and Fosters, and Garfields. There is nothing square or manly about them. They are ail great professors ot morals and all that sort of thing. They don’t Swear; they drink their whisky out of oranges, and they talk like exhorters. The present ‘Ohio man’ is > ,, A BORN IIVrOCKITK. Now Senator Conkling hates hypocrisy. His chosen intimate in Washington 'is Senator Eaton. Mr. Conkliuggocs around with him continually, aud is really fond of'liim. Why? Because Eaton is a fel low after Conkling’s own heart, frank and candid, and without any little meanness. Both of them say wbat they think, wheth er people like it or not. When Blaine began to get the Presiden tial bee in his bonnet he went at the work of alienating Congressmen from Grant’ administration by- promises of patronage and committee advancement. He got around him a party of men like Garfiehl, of Ohio; Kelley, of Pennsylvania; Ellis II. Rijberts, of Utica, and Conger, of Michi gan. They* were too eagfr.- to earn their wages, and insulted everybody who rep resented in any way the administration. When Hayes came into national politics; with Johii Sherman behind him, Garfield was one of tho chaps who felt called upon to assume tho direc.ion ol afl’aits.

Married Her Own Brother.—A well dressed and handsome lady recently called upon Chief Judge Neilson, of the Brooklyn City Court, and informed him that she had something of a strange and important character to eommunicate. “I was bora of respectable but not wealthy parents in Sweden,” the lady said, and came to this country with an aunt when but a child. In my youth I had a com panion, a boy, about two years my senior, whom I was taught to regard as an orphan adopted by my parents. Hto_name was different from ours. My ~ father died after I left home and mother married again. Then the companion of my youth came to America. The meeting* between us was most happy, and all the love and affec tion of our childish days were renewed. Some time after he secured a good posi tion and we were married without the knowledge of our friends. Our married life was a most happy one, and in due time a beautiful babe was bora to us. My mother eaine'to America rather unexpect edly and called at the house. Upon be ing informed of my marriage and the name of my husband, she expressed the utmost grief, and made the Startling an nouncement that I hat married my own brother.” Judge Neilson’s visitor was so overcome in relating the story that she sank back in her chair and sobbed for several minutes. She was informed by his Honor that, in the sight of neither God nor man, had she committed any crime. It was evidently the wish of both, lie said, that they should cease to live, as man and wife, aud J;e would take the proper steps to have the marriage declared null and void.

For some years after her widow hood Mrs. Wodeliouse resided in London, and was highly popular; at one time it was currently reported she intended to make her home in “Jerusalem the Gold en,” but, fortunately for English society, she has elected to settle down as an Eng lish marchioness, and she will, no doubt, bo warmly welcomed on her return.

'Editors Telegraph and Messenger: As I Lave seen nothing in some time in your columns from Doo'y I have concluded to give you a few items from this section. Crops ate up to the average, though in some parts of the country much retarded and in others actually injured by drouth. In one or two localities no rain was had in nine weeks.

T}icre is much excitement and active canvassing going on among the friends of tlie various gubernatorial candidates, and a lively tiui8 is anticipated to-morrow w|ien the mass meeting to elect.-.delegates assembles at this place. Colqaitt seems to nave the inside track, his opponents being-divided between Lester, Hardeman and Gartrell. [According to tlie “rotation rule” now in force ini tlie fourteenth senatorial district, tbe time lias come for Dooly to choose the man, and • already candidates are in tlie field. Dr. S. B. Stovall, of Vienna, is undoubtedly .the choice of the county, as we venture to predict will be demon strated at the primary nomination to be held nt every precinct of the county at an early dav. The sentiment seems to fie overwhelmingly in favor of this gentle man. Dr. Stovall has most excellent qualifications for the office, is a thorough representative of the people, aud the peo ple will elect him. Ilis life-long devotion aud unswerving fidelity to his party and count-)-, his strict integrity and spotless record, both in public and professional life, anilhis intimate acquaintance with and thorough knowledge of tlie wants of the people, justly entitle him to the suf frages of Ills fellow citizens, which he will undoubtedly receive. Of candidates for tho • legislature, but- twoweare aware of, have yet appeared upon the field, Isaiah Williams, Esq., and Col. Henrv G. Lamar.

Cox passed a quiet night, retiring between eleven and twelve o’clock and falling into a deep slumber before two o'clock. His counsel and friends were unremitting yesterday in their efforts to procure a stay of pro ceedings, waiting upon Gov. Cornell, who to in the city, aud continuing their labors until a late’hour. At 11:57 : a message was received at the Tombs bearing tbe fatal words: “The governor refuses to interfere.” *’ At a few minutes past 5 o’clock; Cox awakened and quietly rose from his bed. He did not exhibit in the slightest degree fear of any kind. He spoke to no one, but was absoibed and probably engaged in meutal prayer. He seemed to be un der no religious excitement aud was out wardly calm and self-possessed and even cheerful. At 0:30, he called deputy Aa rons; who was requested to- notify RevJ Mr. Cook that lie was ready to receive him, and Mr. Cook went Into his cell. He met him at the door and shook hands with him cordially. After religious exer cises Cox ate a hearty breakfast, and then more prayers were said and continued until the arrival of the sheriff ammis dep uties. . ■ About 8 o'clock' Cox was taken from his ceil to tbe gallowe.

Mr. Beecher is reported to have said the following in a speech or ser mon on the 4th of July: . “It is a gigantic lie, told with much circumstautiality, that men were created perfect and then fell; that in Adain aud Eve the humau race fell all around. • God did not make a had job and then paint it pretty and plaster it up. * • • In a sense God made laws to be broken. • • The idea to to be disclaimed and trampled under foot that. men must do thus and thus or he destroyed. * - I don’t hold tho theory of the Atone- meut. * * * I reject the Mosaic econ omy and take a larger view or Christ’s work. * * • The truths of the Bible are not to be swallowed whole, but to be sitlcd.” . Dr. Brookes opened his discourse by showing that coming to God through Christ was the first essential of Christian experience—that we came out of a condi tion of:soiimv, anil tliis by God's grace, and not by our own deserts. Then we are prepared to ofibr acceptable worship. Flowing from this worship, comes practi cal benevolence, which is connected with obedience to God. At this point Mr. Brookes referred to Mr. Beecher and the extract above quoted, mentioningtlieNew York pastor by name. He said that, according to this report, Mr. Beecher had renounced Christianity, and if so, the public was to be congratulated. He was glad, he said, that Mr. Beecher Laid takeu a positive stand, because there was much less danger to be apprehended from the teachings of an avowed enemy to Christianity than from one who an swered the full description of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He preferred an open to a secret enemy.. . . The above pointed and pithy remarks created a quiet sensation or ' approval in Dr. Brookes’ cengregation, and have been tlie subject of much comment since—and favorable to Dr. Brookes so far as we have heard, i " A Fatal Nomination. parfield's nomination, says the Sun, was undoubtedly one of the worst the Republicans could have made. We say one of the worst, because Collax’s,'Patter- soil’s; Subsidy Pomeroy’s, or Boss Shep herd’s might have been as bad. Mr. Bfaine, notwithstanding tbe Mulligan bus iness and various other scandals, to uot to bo mentioned in the same category. He was never convicted; Garfield was. No committee of Congress ever reported ‘that ha had committed perjury; and he was nqvcr declared a bribetaker by the judg ment of any court, a declaration which the Po’and committee made for Garfield in one case, and the Cook county Circuit Court in another.* Garfield's nomination puts in issue the hypocrisies and venalities of the era of Christian statesmanship, when men. like lain prayed and stole, sniffled and pock eted bribes, until, in 1874, the people rd$e in! utter wrath and swept the Republican party into a minority. That judgment will doubtless be repeated. The Chicago convention invited a repetition of tlie judgment when it hoisted the Credit Mo- biiierticket. '•"•* Garfield’s nomination to also a triumph of the Ohio or Hayes type of Republican ism over tlie stalwart article. It was like a touch of death to the remnants of the >arty in the South. There the old guard ias practically disbanded. Stanley Mat- tliews or Hayes himself would have been nibre welcome to the Republicans ot that sebtiou. Neither whites nor blacks can perceive any reasen Why they should sup port a man who guided Hayes into the be trayal of 1877, who upset Packard and Chamberlain; and who offered the entire Federal patronage South in payment lor Confederate votes for himself for speikerl The stalwart Republicans have had enough of Haves, and. they are npt eager to undergo' the same experience With Garfield/ Garfield must lose a Ia*ge percentage of the honest Republican -vote.

His nomina tion was a colossal mistake, aud the party understood this in forty-eight hours "after it was committed. But it is impossible to correct it now, and the Republicans who are quietly agitating the withdrawal of Garfield in the face of the enemy have been ilainly told that such a move would only >c adding a second blunder to the iiisi. Garfield will stick aud sink. Robert Buist, Sr., the well-known horticulturist and dealer in garden seeds, died on Wednesday at his residence in Philadelphia. He was bora in 1S05 near tlie city of Edinburgh and; educated In Scotland, but studied lito profession on tiie continent. .He came to Philadelphia in 1S2C, and two years later embraced the business of horticulture. . Mr. Buist made most thorough study of his business, and ids opinion upon any ques tion of horticulture was considered authoritative, lie was the au thor of several woiks on floriculture and horticulture, and he often contributed aluable at tides to foreign periodicals. Among his writings may be mentioned “Buist’sRose Manual,” “Buist’s Flower Garden Directory” and ‘‘Buist’s Family Kitchen Garden Directory.” He took personal charge of the largo nurserie; and green-houses on bis estate, to which was given the appropriate name of “Rose- dale.” This place, comprising about one hundred and thirty-five acres of ground, was placed under cultivation for horticul tural purposes, so that there is now at Roscdale one of tlie liuest collections of roses in the country, besides a magnifi cent collection of tropical plants. I ; i ,i : Senator Pendleton on General Hancock’S Nomination.— Hancock’s candidacy means peace, a true fraternal union, obedience to tbe constitution with all its amendments, a government and a country beneficent alike to all its people, ad beloved by all alike, a cessation of fraternal strife, a cessation of sectional difficulties, a cessation of the era of cou- str11•'ti«»;i and reconstruction, attention to the measures of administration so as to perform, either by action or nou-action, that duty which lias always been so dear to tbe Democratic pa ty, of exalting the individual and redressing all the wrongs which law or lawlessness lias inflicted on him. It means peace • at the polls without the presence of an array to preserve it; it means a free ballot to evciy citizen, white and colored,- native' and* naturalized, with out marshals to electioneer with him or or intimidate him; it means free elections, fair counts, peaceful inaugurations; it means to reverse the ways of the Repub lican party, id imeover its corruptions, to rectify its errors and to restore to the gov ernment-tlie simplicity, the,,honesty, tlie frugality of the farmer republic which our fathers Creared. It liieaus, in one word, to garner and to gather and to com bine the blessings of that union which Hancock saved at Gettysburg, and of that civil liberty, which he established at New Orleans. And, >as his candidacy means the hope of this blessed change, so his election wouldaecure its full fruition. . j Hardeman In Baldwin. iilLLERGEyiLI.E, Jufy'iC, iS80;* Editors Telegraph and ’Messenger: Co!. ■Hardeman made a telling speech here to day, It was fail - , earnest and eloquent.

They had to convey him a hundred miles in a wag on, and, knowing hto reckless character, they tied him to the seal. On the way ho tried several devices to escape, but in vam, until he hit upon tlie desperate one to fire a keg of powder that was in the vehicle. This he did by covertly throwing a lighted match into it. He crouched as low as possible, and shielded his face, so that he was not seriously injured. One of the constables was killed, and the other burn ed so badly that he could do nothing to prevent the. prisoner from getting away. r-A Texan was traveling recently in tlie country southeast of Sau Antonio. While following the dry bed of a creek he saw a small opening, and placing hto ear to it heard a sound like that of rushing waters. He dug away tlie sand, and found an opening to a cave, which seemed to widen. Soon he succeeded in making the opening sufficiently large to admit his body, and he ventured in. After proceed ing a few feet he could distinctly hear the water dash over rocks and rush on to ward some unknown destination. He proceeded still further, and when only a little over twenty feet below the surface reached forth his hand into a dashing river of pure, cold water. —An ingenious hoy m Richmond, Vir ginia, lias a pigeon box.

They would fight by the hour, and pant with labor and heat, flying violently against tlie glass, taking breath, and tiying again and again. They were not observed at first to do so, but finally they took a good sized gravel in their mouth3 and struck the glass again and again with all their might. Sometimes the gravel was as large as a dried blaekcye pea. Were the sparrows ttying to break the glass, or is this.their way of fighting when they are* very angry? —The first skirmishing in the war be tween Russia and China took place in the Terk Pass, where the troops of the Czar were defeated with considerable loss, and, being driven back toKizil Khurgan, a dis tance of some twenty-five miles, were again worsted, with loss of stores and ammunition. The Chinese have strength ened their array, and they have a consid erable fleet ot gunboats, but there is no reason to believe that they will be able to stand against the conquerors of Plevna, or secure their ports against a successful attack by the Russian fleet. Bat whilst they may be unable to meet their enemy in the field at the beginning of the war, their inexhaustible numbers may enable them to offer a more or less determined resistance. ,, . . jjj *. - —Covington to a doomed city.
