Wilson, of Reynolds, and Mr. Reuben Windham, of Taylor county, are dead. Major Brouohtan, the father-in-law of Judge A. M. Speer, died on Monday at his residence in Madison, after a long ill ness. Tee bales of cotton stolen from the de pot at Sparta recently hare beeen recov ered. They were found In a brush heap about three miles from Sparta. A rabhit seeking refuge from some boys led to the discovery. Tee cows are disturbing tbe citizens of Savannah, aud tbe Netca calls upon the City authorities to enforce tbe law against these bovines running at large. Savannau bad a first-class sensation On'Tuesday last, in the way of riotous proceedings in trying to prevent Messrs: Bergman & Steel from loading tbe Nor wegian bark, Ocean. The police were on hand in a short time, and a few of the ■ ringleaders arrested. Quiet now pre vails, and Messrs. Bergman & Steel pro ceeded to load the bark unmolested. The leading members of the Longshoreman’s Association expressed their disapproba tion of the riotous proceedings. Mrs. JanetS. Montgomery, of Sum merville, near Augusta, died on Tuesday evening last at a good old age. Tee country along the line of the Cen tral railroad is noted for Its plentiful sup ply of birds and game and is a favorite hunting ground. Tuesday, two famous sports uear No. 0| station walked out for an hour and brought in two dozen fine partridges. There is no end to them in that section. Tee Sparta lahmaelite has the follow ing: As many safeguards as possible ought to be thrown around tbe ballot box. In a government like that of Georgia with at most ail tho officers of responsibility elec tive, too much stress cannot be laid on tbe necessity of maintaining the purity of the ballot box. There is a law in Geor gia which makes tbe payment of a yearly poll tax a requisite to tbe legal exercise of the right of suffrage. In the two re cent elections in this State, so far at least as this county is concerned, this requre- nient of law has not been generally In sisted upon. Tbe time has come to call a halt in this matter. We should be glad if the Legislature would revise the election tlon laws, aud Increase the penalty for il legal voting. It ought to be a penitentiary offense to sell a vote. It ought not to be less ot an offense to buy one. In tbe line of a general refomiaiion in tbe matter of voting, there ought to be a registration law in the State, of general application. The tax collectors of the different coun ties could readily and efficiently discharge the duties of registration officers. The payment of all the taxes required by a vo ter should bo a prerequisite to his registra tion. It seems that tbe passage of such a law as this would contribute to the purity of elections in tbe State. Sumter Republican: We learn from Mr. W. F. Marsh, of Dooly county, that a negro mau was accidentally killed by a colored woman on last Friday. The woman picked up an old pistol that bad been lying around the house for several months, and pointing it at her brother-in- law, Dave Lester, said, ‘‘I’ll shoot you.” ‘‘Shoot away,” said he, turning the siJeof his head to the muzzle of the weapon. She pulled the trigger, and “bang” went tbe ball into bis bead, sending bis soul into tbe “happy land of Canaan” before he knew he was dead. No one knew that the pistol was loaded, or that it would shoot If it were; so the coroner rendered a verdict of accidental killing: Augusta News: A young drug clerk at Munnerlyn recently mistook a bottle of morphine for a bottle of quinine and pre pared bis prescription accordingly. The medicine was given to two children and resulted In the death of one and tbe nar row escape of the other. Tbe mistake of course is deeply regretted, but shows what extreme care is necessary in preparing prescriptions. Albany News and Advertiser: From Capt. Taylor, conductor on tbe B. and A. railroad, we learned last night that a ne gro was run over and killed by a lumber tram at Ty-Ty yesterday. Tbe unfortu nate man was under tbe Influence of liq uor, and was lying on tbe warehouse plat form. As tbe train approached ho aroused from bis stupor and jumped down on tbe track immediately ahead of the locomo tive. The engineer did not have *ime to stop bis train,"and tbe negro was caught under tbe wheels aud instantly killed. No blame can be attached to tbe engineer. We were unable to learn the name of the unfortunate negro. Warbenton Clipper: It is thought Hon. Evan P. Howell, of tbe Atlanta Constitution, will be tbe next Governor of Geoigia, and if tbe success of tbe Con stitution is accepted as a prognostication, be has tbe most brilliant record before him. Wo confess, however, that we are inclined to predict that Colonel Estlll, of the Savannah Newt, will be called upon to accept the next candidacy for the Exec utive chair. The country press will lean very strongly towards Colonel Estlll on account of bis relationship to them in tbe press convention, with which be is a great favorite. Augusta Chronicle: There is no “let up” in tbe buoyancy of the stock market. On tbe contrary, the advance continue, day by day, and all good securities arc very firm. We quote to-day Georgia at 115 bid, 116 asked. There were sales yes terday at 115,1154 aud 115J. At tbe lat ter figure 250 shines changed hands. Cen tral railroad stock is firm at 106 bid, 107 asked.

Tbe bond was fixed at $2,500, but being una ble to make it Pride was committed to ^ATLANTA Post: Meeting ex-Chief Justice Hiram Warner, who reached this dtv yesterday, in tbe rotuuda if tbe Mark ham, in tbe afternoon a reporter of tbe Post-Appeal interviewed him upon I lie subject of tbe rumor now in circulation, to tbe effect that he had consented to act as arbitrator in an important case in volving tbe titles of tome property in Sa vannah. * “Judge,” said tbe reporter, “I learn that you are about to set up a sort of Supreme Court of your own in Atlanta, is it so ?” - rner, iaugbi which to hear the argument aud try the case?” » “Not at all. I don’t care to hear any arguments. All that I want is for the parties to give me the facts, and I will de cide the case impartially and according to law.”, “What sort of a ease is itinquired the pencil propeller. “It is only a simple suit brought to in vestigate tbe validity of a. claim on some solvent property. Tai see since those fellows robbed me while I was going out to see the races during the fair, I have come to tbe conclusion that I have to do something to get even.” “How much did the pickpockets relieve you of?” ‘ ' • “About four hundred dollars.

Three horses stolen in one night at Stellaville. Tee effect of the Atlanta fair upon the rising generation is telling upon tbe youth of that yillB-c. Two thirteeil-year-old boys rob Mrt Hlfttf and start out on a bum; they arc forested, and now await the tender caresses of Mr. Blair, the father of one of the boys. Two of the pickpockets who robbed Mr. Moseley, of Louisiana, the other day in Atlanta, were caught and considerable spoil secured. They cave their names as John Horton and Lewis Wilson, Oub old friend, Colonel C. R. Fnngle ; president and treasurer of tho Sauders- vilie aud Tennille railroad, was presented with a $52.00 gold-beaded cane atSanders- ville, the other day, by the stockholders of said road, as an appreciation of services rendered the corporation. It was mer ited. " Gwinnett Uerald: Track-laying is progressing finely on our railroad. With ail the efforts that could be made by the tie committee of the Board of Directors, we still lack about eight thousand ties to complete the line. The company has put on a force of twenty-five hands, under the supervision of W. J. Born, and they are getting out a large number daily. This force will be able to supply ties as fast as they arc needed. Tbe weather last week was unfavorable for railroad work, but this week promises to be more favorable, and Mr. Leming, the boss of the track force, expects to reacii Peachtree road this week. Seaport Appeal: Ex-Treasurer John W. Reufroe’s report to tbe present legis lature is clear, concise, and comprehen sive. It demonstrates tbe matchlessman- ncr in which Col. Renfroe has managed the finances of tbe State. We hope bis successor will do as well by-tbe people, Tee Griffin Jtcwt, ot the 11th instant, says: Early yesterday morning, during the thunderstorm, the electric bolt struck a lame oak tree at tbe residence of Colonel E. \V. Beck, in this city, completely shat tering it, and cutting it off clean, near tbe ground. TLe tree stood within four feet of tbe house. One or two blinds were shaken from their places, aud thirty win dow panes shattered. It is fortunate that the bouse received no more serious dam- Atlanta Post: On Monday last Mr. Charley Shackelford, of Gnffin, was showing some friends what is called tbe “needle trick,” when unfortunately one of the needles slipped down bis throat and became imbedded crosswise in tbe muscles. Several physicians worked on tbe case that night and Tuesday, but without success. Mr. Shackelford is in a painful and dangerous situation. Tee Barnesville Gazette comes to the front with the following gizzard story: Mr. J. M. Akin brought in a chicken gizzard Thursday morning in wbich was a pin whicbtbe chicken bad swallowed. Tbe pin had worked through the gizzard except the head. It is difficult to see how the fowl could live with such a huge pin inside it. Peiiby Home Journal: During tbe rain yesterday tbe cabin of Bella Cole, colored, who lives on the plantation of Capt. F. M. King, about four miles from Perry, was struck by lightning. The house was only slightly damaged, but a child eight years old was instantly killed, and two others stunned and badly burned by tbe light ning. Sandebsyille Uerald: An an evi dence of the splendid business tbe Central railroad is now doing, twenty-two trains now, we learn, pass over it daily, eleven eacli way. 'i bis great artery of trade and travel has proved and is still proving a wonderful developer of tbe vast resources of the Empire State. Brunswick Appeal: There is no spot on earth more lovely, more bealtbrul, richer in soil, climate and water, than Cumberland Island. There are twenty-one thousand acres of land, sixteen thousand miles of tbe finest beach on tbe Atlantic coast, hammock lands that produce 1,200 cabbage;, or 90 bushels of corn, or GOO bushels of pota toes, or 100 bushels of oats to tbe acre. Tbe oranges arc as fine and abundant as tbe best grown, bananas fiounsb, cattle, sheep, goats, deer and tbe wild tackle pony revel in tbe bountiful pasturage. There are fine running springs of purest water on every side, abundant fish, oys ters, turtle ducks, etc. Cumberland is naturally tbe finest year-round resort in the world. It equals any point in Florida as a winter resort, and any point in tbe North as a summer resort. Louisville Courier. Not a single ease was filed upon tbe appearance docket at tbe November term of Jefferson Supe rior Court. We uow claim tbe blue rib bon; if any other county contests tbe claim let us bear from them. Augusta Chronicle: We learn from private sources that the survey of tbe river between Augusta and Savannah has been satisfactorily completed by our young townsman, J. P. McLaws. There is no engineering difficulty in so improving the river as to have five feet water all the way from Savannah to this city at tbe lowest stage of tbe river. We also learn that the work on tbe river above Augusta will soon be cummeaoed—should our Congress men succeed in obtaining the necessary appropriations. The engineers are satis fied that a narrow channel of ninety feet, with sufficient depth of water for light draught steamers, can be made at a very reasonable cost. A paragraph in the Governor’s mes sage discloses some astonishing evidences of Georgia’s wealth in minerals. There are, says the Governor, in the State’s col lection, specimens of iron ore from 71 counties; granite from 45 counties, gold ore from 61 counties, limestone from 48 counties, quartz from 4T counties, soap stone from 22 counties, mill rock from 71 counties, asbestos from 28 counties, cop per ftpm 27 counties, corundum from 0 counties, kaolin from 11 counties, manga nese from 15 counties, maible from 6 counties, serpentine for mantels tram 11 counties. Augusta JVetce: One hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars of tbe city or Augusta 7 per cent, bonds mature tbe 1st of December. In view of meeting them the city lias, with proper authority, pre pared to issue tbe same amount of 6 per Cjht. bonds! To give the holders of ma turing bonds the opportunity, to exchange the maturing bonds for Vbe new 6 per cent, bonds, tbe city authorities recently advertised offering such privilege. Under this advertisement about $40,000 of tbe maturing bonds have been offered for ex change. This privilege of exchange, expired yesterday,; and • sealed bids were invited by the mayor, for, tbe remain ing $125,000 of the new sixes to be Issued These bids were opened -at 3:80 o’clock yesterday, and resulted in tbe sale of the said balance, viz: $125,000 0 per cent, bonds of tbe city, as follows: $50,000 to Wm. B. Young and $75,000 to Alfred Ba ker, President of the Augusta Savings In stitution, and all above par. We congrat ulate tbe administration upon this excel lent evidence of tho city’s superior credit and the strong demand for Augusta bonds, as shown by tbe eager purchase, and by tbe additional fact that there were bids made yesterday sufficient to have taken at least half a million city of Augusta 6 per cent, bonds at about pur. Gainesville Eagle. Mr. W. L. Johnson, contractor on the Gainesville and Dahloucga railroad, lacks about a mile of completing his contract to Price, otherwise Bark Camp.

Ely for attorney general because Ely had once been an admirer of his wife. Db. H. H. CAby, superintendent of fisheries, left for Washington City on the 6th, to bring tut Georgia’s quota of the German carp, which have given sucii sat isfaction. It will be remembered that a few hundred of these fish were distributed by the Department of Agriculture last „„„ fall. Some of these now weigh from three " erc to four pounds. They are the fish for the South, especially for ponds. Perky Home Journal : On last Satur day, at *“e Wiley place, in the eleventh district oi this county, Bob Baskin and Solomon Jackson, both colored men, got into an altercation about a wagon. Tliey came to blows, aud finally Jackson was stabbed in tbe breast and killed. Bob left immediately for Macon, be said, and tbougli a warrant was issued for bisaricst, be bas not been seen since. Louisville Courier: The grand juiy last Monday officially indorsed the action of the grand jury at the last term of the Superior Court of this county in regard to the prohibition movement which is now before tbe people, and urged the import ance of having a law passed which will prohibit tbe sale of intoxicating liquors in this place. Our Representatives are call ed upon by the people to do tbeir utmost for tbe passage of tbe bill when it is in troduced. We gather a few notes from Larry Gantt’s Echo. He says there is a monu ment lying by a grave in their cemetery which has been there so long that the box ing is rotting off. No one seems inclined to put it up over the grave of the departed, He states that Col. Echols is using for a stable a house built for the dancing hail of Lexington, when our town was in the zenith of its glory. The elite from every section of Georgia held higii revel in this old building, now used for a barn Larry is a little off when he says Miss Bacon lias the first presidential message of Andrew Johnson, dated December 8,1S20. He meant Andrew Jackson. It is printed on white satin. Cotton thieves and a Goose-pond conjur ing doctor disturb the equilibrium of Lar ry’s mind; but the most insane idea he has advanced In a long time is, that the legislature ought to prohibit the exhibitiou of circuses in tbe State. Wbat in tbe world would tbe small boy and the darky do if you were to deprive them of tbe pleasure of tbe circus once a year? Christmas would be a farce, and “life would not be worth living.” Tee directors of tbe Northeastern rail road are making preparations to begin tbe extension of that road, the right of way having been obtained as far as Clayton. They will commence work at Lula, on tbe Air Line. Tbe city council of Athens is ready to subscribe another $100,000 to this enterprise. A child of Mrs. Naves, living near Toc- coa, was so badly scalded with boiling water that it died the next morning. Tile Toccoa News comes to the front with a case of lusus naturae that lays ail the rest in the shade, and is vouched for by Justice Whitlock, who says it is literally tree. A child was born to Lin McCurdy, who had a mouth full of well developed teeth, including jaw teeth. The assessed valne of taxable property in the State has increased fourteen mil lion dollars in the past year. What a commentary on the thrift and progress of our people! Tee funeral of Charlie Dudley, the An napolis cadet, took place from his father’s residence, in Columbia, on Thursday last. Mrs. Ellis, mother of B. W. Ellis, died at her residence in Cuthbert on Sat urday evening last, after a lingering ill ness. Ms. James Jenkins, one of the -oldest citizens of Gieenp county, died at his home a few days since, and was buried on Monday last. Darien Gazelle: The steamer Cum berland arrived from the up-ooantry on Monday night and departed again on Tuesday morning for Savannah with over three hundred bales of cotton on board. Tbe Cumberland will make regular trips now in connection with the steamer Hal cyon, wbich will be on the route again in a few days. The enterprising Wilcox will make things lively on tbe Altamaha this winter. We wish him unbounded success in his steamboat enterprise, for he richly deserves it. Uncle Sam Koockogke.—Columbus Enquirer: Ho now resides in TaibottOD, but paid us a call yesterday. He soon will be 87 years of age, a native of Penn sylvania and a regular Democrat of the strtightest school. He retain* tbe hearti ness and laughter of youth, though his tall form is somewhat bent and hearing defective. He regards life as a music box, to whicb he bas the key. Unde Sam is a pensioner of the war of 1842. He came to Columbus in 1827, before tbe lot* were laid, and built his log cabin where tbe Salisbury residence now is. Here his son, the first iu our city was bom, and here the first in our city was bora, and here the first death occurred, that of the sur veyor of tbe town. Uncle Saa promises to live many a year in the enjoyment of fun and frolic, and his friends hope his expectations may be realized. Living is something he enjoys. Albany Neu>a and Advertiser; The colored emigration fever is getting un pleasantly close down to us in Southwest Georgia. An emigration meeting was re cently held by the colored people of Geor gia and Alabama, on the Montgomery lair grounds, at which the attendance was es timated at between four and five tnous- and. A determination to move somewhere seemej to actuate all, while Kansas, Col orado and Liberia were the favored places. Tbe majority favored settlement in tbe young African republic. We hope this colored exodus movement will not reach Southwest Georgia until we have secured other labor. In fact, we don’t want our colored labor to leave us, because, in our bumble opinion, it is tbe best we can g t. LaGrange J!(porter: It becomes our sad duty to chronicle the death of Mrs. Henry R. Harris,whlcU occurred in Green ville last Saturday morning. She had been in feeble health for a number of years, and had been confined to her bed since last May. Her death,while not unex pected, (for she was a sufferer from that fell disease, consumption), was a great shock to her many friends. On Thursday evening, the occasion of her daughter's marriage, she was as well as usual, but on Friday sbe became suddenly worse and, rapidly declining, on Saturday morning at six o'clock she breathed her last. Mrs. Harris had many warm friends in La- Grange as welt as in tbe community in which she lived, and we extend to them and to her bereaved family our sympathies in their sorrow. Cartebsville Free Press: Wo learn from a passenger that a fearful collision occurred on the Rome railroad this (Thursday) morning. As the passenger train was running rather slowly over an up grade the freight train behiud ran into the rear end of it, demolishing an engine, two passenger coaches and several freight cars. One lady was fractured abouMhe head, and several gentlemen considerably bruised up. - #1 t L A coHitESPONDKNT ot the Darien Ga zelle says: “Disasters political, as well as otherwise, come sometimes to individ uals and to parties ‘as blessings in dis guise.’ In view of recent events, let ns take the causes of oar defeat into serious consideration. Too much apathy, frivol ity, over-confidence, iiidependentism, per sonal office-seeking, self-aggrandizement, want of unity of action. Whether one or more of these, let us eradicato them and reorganize our forces for the combats of tbe fnture. Tee St. Simons editor of the Brunswick Advertiser, says: Messrs. Holland, Taylor, James Gould, and Johnnie Postell, on a two days’camp hunt, killed six deer, three of them ;Pae bucks—one said to bo the largest, proba bly, ever brought down by any huulsman on the island. His horns were fivc^smt- lered. Mr. Willie Taylor killed wree out of the six. Albany and Advertiser: The people or Baiter cGUUljf 3F6 greatly exer cised over a strange and very loud rumb ling noise that none can account for.

THE HAST ON TUE MONUMENT. Hancock’s Defeat and tbe New South. It was night again, when for tbe last time I paused in front of the Confederate monument and saw, dim and still above me, tbe white semblance of a man, that marble link which binds together the Old South and the New. No limpid moon light bathed the scene in solemn splendor, and the gentle breeze, which wailed to me the perfume of its latest wooing when last I lingered round tho spot, had fallen asleep upon the bosom of a vanished sum mer, and was silent too. But as I stood there, a keen, biting blast breathed upon me, and a storm of leaves rattled around my feet. I caught a handful from the wind and crushed them in my grasp; they were crisp and brown and gave me back a sound of death. “And these,” I muttered, “these, my country, are thy hopes. Lo, in tho spring we saw them budding, and as they spread and bloomed, thy birds awoke and wove among them songs of love and beau ty. We beheld the golden morns and ro seate eves flush them with a hundred tints, and flowers beneath them .1ft their open lips, and catch the diamond dew, which gathered on them, flashed and fell. And gazing on them thus, wo dreamed they were immortal, a deathless chaplet for thy brow; and thrilled, the South arose and flew her banners from a thou sand hills, and sped tbe cry, as Scotland’s cross was sped, through all the land to bid the people wake. Ah, vaiu the awa kening! The sun came o’er the east and saw—her flowers dead, her song birth hushed, and o’er her breast a mantle, chili and fatal, thrown. She trembled, bowed her head, and hurling from her brow the ruined chaplet, fell and shattered as it struck. The glorious hopes are dead.” One by one from out my grasp, tho chill winds placked the resistless leaves, and only the marble pile before mo re mained. Upward as of old I gazed; my eyes more fitted to the shades than first, saw there the cold, stern, changeless, rigid lineaments of a face that knew no life. Calmly, coldly the marble gazed straigbt out into tho night, into the past as it must for days, months, years, nay, centu ries, perhaps—silent—“bat it has spoken and will again,” I thought. “Oh, no,” did judgment whisper back to self, “the lifeless marble cannot speak. You have been dreaming, and in your reveries a thought intense awoke and kit a shadow on thy fancy which did language seem. The stone will uever give thee answer, nor ever has. Sadly I turned away, yet came again and stood, then turned and passed, aud yet returned again to find tbe silence mantling still the spot. There flashed upon me legends of the pilgrims who through tbe burning sands bad toiled and knelt by Jfesnnon’a form to hear his voice, and how worn out at last with fruitless, watching they back had-crept across the sands again, weak, worn and weary to die. The night seemed like a desert waste, and fascinated with the fate of these deadancieHts, there on the base or that still monument, I crouched aud waited.

It has long been said of Bibb county roads, “They are the finest in Geoigia,” and any one who takes the trouble to make a comparison of our thoroughfares with those of other counties will find the assertion true. A Tennessean who pass ed through here recently said he had been everywhere, aud ours were the host dirt roads he had ever seen. They were even better than the macadamized, which re quired a force upon them at all times There is no doubt but that wc are In debted in the first place to the adoption of excellent system by which these roads arc worked for the present state of af fairs; but we are more indebted to Willis Wood, tbe excellent superintendent, who has so ably put into practice the system adopted. ^ The public roads of Bibb county, which the the chain gang have to keep iu order, sumnpin length 171] miles; stretched out in one line they would reach within twenty-five miles of Savannah. To work this vast stretch, the superindendent has but six months In each year and a force of convicts that varies from fifteen to thirty-five in number, and'Some of them women at that. Iu addition to these county roads, he has the thirty miles of streets of tbe city to work during the remaining six months in the yean streets which are alternately ISO and 120 feet in width. Let us see what has been done and why. Three years ago Second street was worked over, and a solid mass of clay put down from end lo end. To-day it b the best street In the city although it has not been touch ed by a working force since. Third street, Cherry street, Cotton avenue and Georgia avenue, later, «-ere treated In like man- ami are now model thoroughfares, and bid fair to last ten years. The Houston road has been made solid to the county limits, graded, drained, and heavy sewers put in, and the Yineville road treated in the same manner. The Clinton and Jeffersonville roads have also been leveled aud bedded and, although they were tbe gist roads worked this sea son, are iu a good condition. Of course there are points on all that have been mentioned, where the immense amount of travel and the rains have left their marks, bnt as a whole the roads are in excellent order. The chain-gang have jtut completed the Columbus road, save a few finishing touches rendered necessary by the late rains acting upon the new work. A-sur vey and profile of thb road, which wc saw yesterday, shows that tlta bed of Rock Creek at Bailey’s mill is eighty-seven feet below the level of the city limits beyond Mercer, on the road mentioned. The greatest variation from the level-on this road b but thirty-five feet each way. At Brown’s bouse, about two and a half miles from the court house, the rise is thirty-five feet, and at the third milepost ihe depression b thirty-five feet. Bailey’s residence near the creek is just nine feet below tho first level mentioned. The three mile post proves to be two hundred feet beyond the proper point. Thb road b fifteen miles long. Sewers have been put in at all ^necessary points, and hills, over which a few years ago two homes could not have pulled one-fourth of cord of wood, have been so cut and gra- that the sajne power can draw up a cord easily. The advantage of these good roads b reciprocal between merchants and farm ers, and of great value to the latter in the saving of stock and vehicles. We understand that the commissioners will ask that the force of workers be al lowed two additional months upon the county roads. We believe tbe city would be gainer by ft. Trade increases with the facilities for trading. ixrcsDiauVaouBLE Joe Harris' Circular or Warulaf. We have received from Atlanta the fol lowing,-which being complete and compre hensive, we publish in fall. We, in com mon with many others, shall await with interest. Atlanta, Ga., November 10, I860. To the Editor and his Esteemed Assist ants: 1 take thb method of putting you njion notice that on or about the 20th ot November, Messrs. D. Appleton & Co., of New York, will issue, in book form “Uncle Remus: His Sungs and Hb Sav ings,” including “The Folk-Lore of the Old Plantation,” profusely illustrated from designs by Mr. Frederick S. Church and Mr. James H. Moser. Would it be asking too much, considering the well- known freedom of the press, to beg yon to warn your readers ot the impending trouble ? Such of Uncle Remus’ legends as have appeared in the columns of the Constitution have been exceedingly popu lar, but, apart from the interest thus aroused, it has been my purpose in gath ering the series !n book form, together with tiie 1 plantation songs, to preserve a phase of negro life and character whieb would otherwise soon be forgotten—a phase of equal interest to ethnologists and to those who are in search merely of quaint forms of humor. Thb shows dis interestedness, but tiie book will be for sale just the same as other books. Would you object to mentioning some of these farts in your columns t It may happen that I will be able to reciprocate some day. You may become unhealthy enough to publish a book yoursell, and whenever you are embarrassed in that way, or whenever 1 can be of service to you iu any way, tiie Constitution and all its amendments are at your service.
