from different parts of tbe district met in
this city yesterday, and a meeting of tbe
Republican Executive Committee of
Dongberty county was also held. The
meeting was ot course a private one, and
we were unable to get a full report of
what was done; but enough was learned
to satisfy us of the fact that the Republi
cans of this district are at work, and that
they are getting thoroughly organized for
a bold and determined campaign. Brim-
berry has his emissaries now still-hunting
the district, sowing the seed of Radicalism

to rally In full force for an exhibition ot
their entire party strength on the 2d of
November. We are Informed that at the
meeting held lu this city yesterday a sub

of taking immediate steps for the organi

The Seaport Appeal, formerly a Nor

Some of the Norwood papers, notably

ot fifteen carriages, about twenty buggies,

two hundred women and girls, clothed

She was seized with a chill aud on its

Henry N. Mase, of New. York,

He has been sick a long time and the re
sult was not unexpected. The event is a
sad one. Tbe sympathies of our com

Columbus Enquirer: Yesterday two
bales of cotton from Harris county were
received by the Planters’ Warehouse,
which were ginned and packed twenty-
three years ago, which was in 1857, three
years before the war. Tbe bagging and
rope are in good order. The cotton was
sold, and brought nine cents per pound
for one aud ten cents for the other. Now
let us make a little calculation: If the
cotton had been sold tbe season it was
ginned, it would have brought $100, esti
mating tbe weight at 500 pounds each,
and the price ten cents per pound. That
money put at simple interest at seven per
cent, would up to this lime have amount
ed to $201. At the elpae of the war, fif
teen years ago, tbe cotton would have
brought sixty cents per pound and the two
bales $t)00. Had it been sold then and the
money put at interest at the per cent, cus
tomary by the banks, it would by this
time have amounted to about $2,000. The
farmer, though, has evidently enjoyed
keeping it at home, and we do not give
the figures to caw him any alloy in his
; pleasure. •

We were impressed the other day by a re

highly, he said it didn’t pay to put as
much on your fields as you took off; that
laud was cheaper than manure and he got
on with as little of the latter as possible-
This is a key to our loosfe way.of farming.
Until our population condenses and lauds

to scrape over a vast area of ground in
preterence to bringing a few acres to a
high state of cultivation. For a time it

Oglethorpe Echo: On Monday night
last a not occurred in this county that for
a time : threatened to be a serious affair.
It appears that late in the night all hands
got pretty well inflated, when the conver
sation turned upon wrestling, Mr. Bray,
with a view to bring out a champion
wrestler named John, ou his place, said he
could dirty tbe hack of any man on the
ground. Willis Howard, colored, threw
open his arms and said any man who
thought he could throw him might wade
in. Mr. Bray then stepped SsiuC #nd got
his nigger John aud turned him loose on
Howard. At the first pass John meas
ured his length on the ground, being
lasted about ten feet. Undismayed, he
sailed in again and was this time thrown
almost seuseiess. The friends of Howard,
both black aud white, then took him tip
aud cairied him around in triumph. This
enraged the friends of the defeated gladi
ator, apd in less than no time an indis
criminate light commenced, the whites
pairing off and taking sides with their
respective favorites. Fence rails, stones,
knives and pistols were brought into
requisition, hut happily no shots were
fired, or else there would have been a
bloody battle. As it is, three negroes—
Willis Howard, Rich Long and Fred Wil
liams—were cut, we learn some of tbe
wounds being serious. Others were
bruised and beat up. None of tbe whites,
we believe, were hurt, , _. . .

BRUNSWICK Advertiser: We are called
upon to record a sad episode in ths events
of the week—the suicide of Captain
Charles Barnard, of the bark Tremont,
of Boeton. As soon as the news of the
suicide reached town, Justice Lambright
and Constable Leavy summoned a jury
and repaired to the vessel where she was
lying below McCullough’s dock. The
witnesses being sworn testified, in sub
stance that at six a. m. a pistol shot was
heard in liis room, and upon investigation
the captain was found upon the floor still
alive, with a wound in his right temple
and the weapon lying on the floor. Upon
a slate ou his table was found the follow
ing:
“I don’t owe anybody in Brunswick.

Henry County Weekly: Mr. S. H.
Griffin’s gin-house caught tire last Friday
afternoon, and was entirely consumed,
together with six or seven bales of cotton.
Tbe gin is operated by water, and the
origin of the fire can only be attributed to
friction, or tbe careless dropping of a
match. Messrs. Thomas & Thompson
had the gin leased, and we understand
that they lost about two and a half hales
of cotton. Other losses are fully covered
by ;hisu ranee.

renewed a pleasant acquaintance which
dates back over a quarter of a century, to
the time when a dozen years was the com

of more than middle age,and to whom ten

tame aud fortune, and though, as some
say, ouly a circus clown, his chosen pro

the star in two parts, which are thrown to

Terrible Railroad Accident.
Wo clip from tbe Fort Valley Mirror,
tbe following vivid description of tho late
accident on the Southwestern road near
that place:
On last Sunday night, the regular night
freight train to Columbus passed this
place at the usual hour iu charge of John
Sheridan, engineer, one of the most relia
ble men on the road. Just ahead of the
regular was an extra. About six miles
from here, just beyond the heavy grade at
Everetts, the coupling pin worked out,
aud three cars became detached from the
front train, the remainder going on to
Reynolds before discovering the loss. The
conductor 9U the detached cars bad brakes
put 611 and stoppCu tutj cars, and tried to
send a man back to stop the coming train
behiud, but it was too late. Coming
down the heavy grade, with a long train
of twenty-four boxes and a passenger
coach, at a speed of about forty miles an
hour, it was too late to stop the train, an
intervening curve hiding the obstructions
ahead until nearly on them.
As soon as Mr. Sheridan discovered the
boxes ahead he reversed his engine and
blew on brakes and did everything pos
sible to prevent the accident, but it wa3
useless. He remarked to his fireman, his
son, and wood passer Taylor, that they
were gone up, and told them to jump.
They did zo, and fortunately foil on level
ground, and were only slightly hurt, but
Sberidau remained at his post until tbe
last moment aud then jumped off] falling
with his bead aud left side against some
obstruction, which proved fatal to him.
The engine ran into the cars, demolish
ing them and several other boxes and
throwing the engine up and across the
track, where the wheels went whirling
around like lightning. Superintendent
Shcllinan was on the^train, and as soon
as the accident occurred bad hands with
lights out to hunt up the men. They
sent to Fort Valley for a physician, and
as soou'as tlie lumber train could be fired
up it went down with Dr. Ross to the as
sistance of the party. Mr. Sheridan and
party were brought to the Byingtou hotel
where they had every possible attention,
but Sheridan remained unconscious
throughout, and it was evident that he
could not live. On Tuesday, Drs. Greeue,
lioss and Matthews trepanned him, but it
did no good and be died about 12 o'clock,
about thirty-six hours after tbe accident.
His wife and family came down on Mon
day and his brother and niece, Mrs. Geas-
lin, came down on Tuesday night, and the
entire family With the corpse Went down
to Columbus, where he was buried on
Wednesday. The ill-fated engine and
broken cars were brought to Fort Valley.
The accident detained the regular trains
only about ten or twelve hours-, b track
having been built around the wreck.
When nearing Columbus the train
which caused the accident rau into a - ne
gro naued Essex Johnson and injured
him so badly that he died the next day.
Mtewart’s New Stable.
Mr. J. S. Stewart is building, at the
corner of Mulberry and Third streets, a
gigantic livery stable, which will, when
completed, excel in appearance anything
of the kind ever before attempted in Ma
con. It Is to be two stories high and ex
tend back a distance of 110 feet, having
a breadth of 00 feet. The building fs to
be of brick, with a commodious basement
where the horses will be kept comforta
bly stalled. The second floor, on a level
with the street, is the main stable
and carnage house, containing also of
fices.
The third floor will be arranged into
sleeping apartments for the employes and
country patrons of the stable.
In the rear, and occupying tbe remain
der of the lot, is being built a large shed,
110 feet long, resting on brick founda
tions. This is for wagons or fora mule
lot, as may be desired.
This building will fill up an ugly gap
in Mulberry street, and add greatly to
appearance of that section of the city.

state toward which humanity struggles;
though while the object is single, the
" roods we-trarerss aie xs-muuei otmts the
1 divisions of humanity itself. Why not,
therefore, devote our winter evenings to
learning how to be happy f What is tbe
condition that all so ardently desire ? No
word expresses it, but if We look about
us we will find that they lire best who de
rive pleasure from tbe minor sources, and
as soon as we realize this we see
that the majority of people learn
tbeir lesson backwards, arriving at
the truth only when the borders
of life itself are reached. Happiness is a
stranger to ambition, for ambition slays
tbe very elements of happiness. This is
why the two are never mated.
Nor Is content, as we call it, happiness.
We hold that happiness is bom of the
mind, and the mind can never conceive con
tent. The hog in his wallow is a fit
companion for the man who is content to
remain as he is, mentally. If we might
venture a definition of a condition that
wise men have puzzled themselves to ex
press in words, we would say that happi
ness is the even expression of that mind,
which is strong enough to cast out appre
hension. With this definition before us,
it is easy to understand why it is that they
live best who derive pleasure from the
minor sources, and it is this we propose to
have you do these long winter evenings*-*
learn how to derive pleasure from the mi
nor sources.
To do this is easy. The contemplation
of any natural object, or any faithful
copy of a natural object in the universe,
when tbe contemplation is pure andun-
mixed with the affairs of life, will bring
pleasure. The simplest object that Is a
part of nature is a wonder; studied and
examined faithfully, there develops before
the mind truths irresistible—and let ns
Interpolate again—there is nothing so
beautiful as truth - upon and around
which the mind will linger in pleasure as
it finds itself capable of understanding
and divining these truths and laws. The
tinted shell, a flower, the wing of a but
terfly, the cricket upon the hearth, tbe
frost upon the pane, the blue flames that
tremble above tbe coal, all bave their or
ganizations, their wonders and their
truths to impart, and when they have
been worked upon and dissected by the
mind, then in the library by your side
are the the records of voyages
that other minds have made
into that countiy you have been search*
ing. Compare them with your fcnd
you will be surprised and thrfikd to find
that you have possessed and exercised tbe
power of a god—the power to create.
Better still, in a few days you will find
yourself In possession of not only a
method, but an irresistible desire to cre
ate, and that slow, steady expansion of
the mind will be under way. Ah! the
hog in his wallow may be content, but the
■mind, that reflects upon its polished sur
face tlie secrets of nature—the mind, that
receives .impressions from the song of
birds, the voices of children, the perfume
of flowers and the glories of the life about
it, to what can we compare it? Surely
it is the unbroken expanse of heaven,
illumined by the myriad star-points with
in it.

The Fogs of London.—The London
correspondent of the Manchester Exami
ner writes: “Londoners who are now ar
riving home after their holidays will be
dismally reminded by the yellow fog
which has for several days hung over the
town of the horrors which will but too
soon efface the recollections of the sunny
sk ! es of Italy and France, and even Mar
gate and Broadstairs. The fog plague
has come upon us unusually early this
year, and one cannot but feel depressed
when he has to light the gas on what
ought to be a bright September morning,
and recollects at the same time that when
fogs come so early it is almost a sure sign
that they will stay long. There is no
doubt that the London fogs are gettlug
worse every year. Last winter the clouds
scarcely lifted from November to Febru
ary, and now we are threatened with even
a worse prospect. Sorely ft fa time that

on the home-consumption ot all the smoke

belch forth from early tnoru till late at
night, and for the rest of the evil it ought
to be within the power of science to devise
a remedy. The fog may never by any
possibility, become so dense aa to asphyx
