THECONYERS WEEKLY gpFHISKY. Our clever brother of the Solid South, Speaking of Col Pe t's whisky bill, says • he has in possession a petition claim., Ing t j represent the mass of the people of his county ; such is false” and 4 there kt another petition asking that the p es entloca law be repealed, and we learn that Mr. Peek has dedined to have any thing to do with it. If such is the case he faila to represent the wishes of his pe jple at home ." Now, as to the peti¬ tion which it is said Mr. Peek had in bis possession (we doubt the correctness of the assertion) failing representing the rna jorityormass of our people, it does no such thing. It not only represents the wishes of the Chritians hut of every lover •f peace and order, and who will say they do not constitute the mass of the people of Rockdale county ? The other potion represents the wish !* of those di¬ rectly interested in the whisky traffiic. The charge or insinuation that this class predominates in this county is an insult to our people; one which our es teemed contemporary can well afford to throw in their teeth. As to our tepre sentative, who ever knew him to betray a trust or disregard the wishes or inter¬ ests of his people ? Has he not always proved true and faithful ? But we say i he knew a petition signed only by five r presented the best interest of the mass of his people, he should support it in preference to one signed by a thousand. Bill Peek was elected by our people as their representative; they knew he was a Christian gentleman and a strong sup¬ porter of temperance, and if lie fails to do his duty like a true man, (even tho threat* of ostracism stare him in the face,) he will belie his former record. We 11 ust confess that we are surprised to see our ooutemporary take the stand it baa; publishing articles so much at variance in sentiment with the Church and all that leans to the elevation of the morals, intelligence and happiness of our people. That the sentiment is condemn¬ ed by oar people all know. No doubt about Mr. Peek being re¬ membered in the future. As at the bAl lott box heretofore our people will glad¬ ly decide the issue in favor of temperance and every step they may make will be towards the extinction of whisky. ^■»i» - Judge Crawford is still very tick. Whilst the ]>eople of lower Georgia liave been deluged with rain some of the upper counties are suffering. Jefferson finds that she can get her merchandise and food supplies cheaper from Athens by wagon than from Atlan¬ ta by rail. Friday morning a Bartow county far xner sold (07 bales of cotton of ast years raising. The post office at Pendergrass is called Emory. The department would not name P Pendergrass because they a id it was too long. Washington went crazy over the Han¬ cock plow and thousands of of dollars were paid for territory.

The Survivors’ Association of the 18 th Georgia Regiment, which was organized last August at Acworth will meet in their e< c jnd annual reunion in Atlanta, on the first of next month. An infant was found in a pool of water near Thomaston last Saturday wrapped in a sila dress. When found its color could not be determined it had under gone so much decomposition. The af¬ fair is a mysterious one. Mrs. Shipp, a widow lady living in Chattahoochee county, has two little tons aged five and three. They were .playing in a room together, when the oldest got hold of a pistol and shot his little brother in the left breast. Fortu¬ nately the wound was only slight and the little fellow is able to run aboat at present. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Haile both diel at Camilla on the 5 th innt., only 15 hours intervening between their deaths. Mrs. Haile has been sinking ever since the birth of her bab*, several weeks ago. Mr Haile was worn down by watching and exposure, and finally took hemmorrhag k fever on last Friday. The baby is not expected to live. Athens is over run with Btreet beggars et present. There will be, according to the crop report, plenty of corn whisky, and a Bur plns for bread this year. The Georgia Legislature has an eye to the main chance. Air.

Thera are about fourteen parties in jail in Savannah, serving ont sentences imposed by Jodg * Adams of the Superior Court, in lien of the payment of fines and costs for gambling. , Mr. W. A.
