tions, and then get sick and become
a burden intolerable. The fields are
white with cotton, but not a foot will
they move. They give their sick no care
and seem to think they must be fed in
idleness and nursed with greatest care.
Mr. Langstaff', President of the Howards,
was in despair. ‘I can get-no food for
my nurses. Our men are falling every
day, and if we do not drive these lazy
people out of town not one of us will be
left,’ And he expressed the awful truth,
not overdrawn. The food remains and
the fever feeds. The nurses in two more
days cannot attend one-half the sick.
They must die like skeep and rot where
they die, if something is not done that
we cannot advise or see any way of ac¬
complishing now. We are doomed,
surely, truly, unmistakably doomed. The
cold shoulder has been turned on many a
friend during our night of distress. Self
preservation has blotted out all other
emotions,’ -
Downfall of the Gobd Premium.—
What the remonetization of silver has
accomplished towards dethroning the
money kings and equalizing the currency
of the country is demonstrated by the
following from the Philadelphia Ledger
ol a recent date ; “Gold yesterday in
the New York market ruled steady all
day at 100£, no change. In this market
go’d varies £ to J per cent, from the
quotations at New York. Gold holds on
to a little fraction of a figure, reluctant
to give up its seventeen years' lease of
power, but it must give it up at last.—
There is no speculation in gold. The
only demand is on account of purchases
of bonds and for duties, and now the
demand through duties is removed by
the exchange of silver dollars for green¬
backs, The currency outflow is becom¬
ing large on account of the demands
from the West to move the crops.”
A fatal quarrel occurred Tuesday after
noon at East New York and Brooklyn
avenues, in Flatbush, Long Island, in
which James Connors, aged twenty-three
years, of No. 52 Walworth street, Brook
lyn, was shot and killed by Frederick
Meyers, the keeper of a grocery and li¬
quor store. Connors, accompanied by a
man uamed Connolly, entered the store
and created a disturbance. Meyers or
dered them to go away, when they went
out and began to throw stones at the
store. Meyers threatened to shoot them
if they did not stop this, and when they
continued to hurl stones he fired two
shots, one of which struch Connors, pen¬
etrating his liver and causing death soon
after.

A Doctor’s Fatal Blunder. — Mrs.
Niles Carpenter, wife of the President of
the Rush ford (Minn.) Bank, who has
been sick for a long time, but who had
so far recovered as to be about the
house, died very suddenly lapt evening
from the effects of a dose of strychnine
which had been given her by her physi¬
cian with the mistaken idea it was a pre«
scription. Dr. Evarts has been attend¬
ing ber, and last evening, finding that she
was out of medicine, Mr. Carpenter went
to the doctor to procure a fresh supply.
The medicine he had been giving her
contained strychnine and closely resem¬
bled that deadly drug ; the bottle he had
prepared was exactly like another con¬
taining the poison, and the two stood
near together. The doctor gave Mr.
Carpenter the poisou instead of the pre
scription, and Mrs. Carpenter took her
accustomed dose. She was instantly
thrown into agony, ana the aoctor was
summoned. Immediately upon
at her bedside Dr. E/arts threw up his
hands and said: ‘I am the man
did ir. Sho is poisoned!’ Dr.
and his wife are nearly crazed by the

Hon, Jas. H. Blount, Macon—It is the
pleasing duty of the undersigned to ad¬
vise you of your unanimous u miinatiou
to represent the Sixth Congressional Dis¬
trict in the Forty-sixth Congress, by the
convention which assembled iu this e'ty
to-day, and to ask your] acceptance ol

past services by your constituents.
We are very respeettully,

Messrs. Jas. J. Conner, Rob’t C. Hum*
ber and E P. Speer :
Gentlemen—Your letter of the 4th in¬
stant informing me of my unanimous
nomination for congress by the Demo¬
cratic convention of the Sixth congress
sioual district, and requesting my ac¬
ceptance of the same has been received.
Such a compliment, coming from a
body, representing a constituency unsur
passed for intelligence and devotion to
the rights of the Spates, and the liberty
of every citizen, awakens my profoundest
gratitude. I accept the position tender¬
ed with the assurance that whatever of
public experience I may have acquired
shad be earnestly given to advance wise
legislation and restore a fraternal feeling
Which shall look to the prosperity and
peace of every portion of this great
country.
As it is my purpose to address the
people of each county of the district on
such important subjects as pertain to
Federal legislation and in which they
are especially inteiested, I shall not re^
fer to them now.
You have kindly congratulated me
upou the fact that this nomination is evi¬
dence of appreciation for my past ser
vices. As such it excites far more pride
than the position assigued me. It has
been my ambition that my official life

results and if in this I have succeeded, I
could ask no higher reward.
Wishing each of you success in life, I
am, gentlemen, very truly,
Your friend and obedient servant,
James II. Blount.
