SOME Or THE WONDERFUL THING* Some of the things we learned of thK country almost seem incredible. stitute it the 'model county of the state in its high civilization. In the whole broad extent of the county there b but one liquor shop, and drunkenness is al most unknown. The people have used the local option law, voting down* the sale of l:quor, except in one district and it will be done there. Not even bitters are allowed to be sold. The law passed and was repealed after trial. A second time it *as passed and is naw the settled policy of the county, with most gratifying results in the diminu tion of crime and disorder. Sessions of courts pass as quietly as church meeting* Large gatherings are wholly free from riots and turbulence. Life is safe. A fight b unheard of. Surely, the example of thb noble. God-fearing countv b a-beacon light for imitation. And the people are prosperous as so good people should be. They are thrifty, apd out of debt It b said that in two years there has not been a sheriff's sale for debt, the few public sales that have occurred having been made to perfect till* Think this most astounding fact. It would almost seem that the millenium was at hand in thb favored county of our stat* THE FARM* No county in the state has finer farms. The beautiful succession of fertile valleys make it os fine a farming section as any state iu tbe union affords. Take McLe- more’s cove for instance. It is twenty-five long by five miles wide. Its* rich bottoms cannot be surpassed. The farm of the late Colonel William Dougherty at the cove, a magnificent estate of 2,000 acres, T a model. Mr. Garntany in the center has _ 700 acre farm with 300 acres in cultivation that bring 75 bushels of corn to the acre, without manure, aud a bale of cotton. He has 100 acres in clover. The farm of Mr. James Lee at Crawfish Spring-* has 3,000 acres under splendid cultivation. Fully 150,000 bushels of wheat were raised in the cove this year. Talk about Texas with such farm lands as McLcmore’s cove presents. But we cannot dwell on these features. There is but one drawback. Thb rare coun- mrs its productions into Chattanooga, > does Dade and Catoosa. We see but - - Jraedy. Chattanooga should be given to Georgia, and we believe the j»eopIe of that city would gratefully transfer ciitzen- ship from Tennessee to Georgia. THE GOVERNOR.

July 1.—It seems certain that'thc last peace overtures of Cetewayo are bona fid* The Times special from General Woods's camp says the messengers of Cete wayo have been recognized as important persons bv native spies. While palavering with Lord Chelmsford, the report arrived that tho Zulu army was advanc ing on* General Woods’s camp. The messengers readily agieed to be shot if the report was true. - When it was ascer tained that the report was unfounded, they were released. Lord Chelmsford after stat- ting the terms of peace declared that before treating further the two cannons captured at Is&udula, and some hostages, must be given np. The messengers asked Lord Chelmsford to halt pending the answer, but he refused. The troopers who were with the prince uiperial when he was killed declare in contradiction to Lieutenant Carey’s state ment, that the survivors galloped two or three miles without stopping. The Times’ correspondent summarizing the various ac counts of the death of the prince imperial, says that the quartermaster-general dis obeyed Lord Chelmsford’s orders by send ing the prince on a dangerous expedition, the escort of which deserted its duty. In the whole affair there b not one redeeming feature. A dispatch to the News from Utrept un der date of June 8th, says on yesterday a body of Zulus raided on a farm within a mile of Lnneberg. A small detachment sallied out from Luueberg, but finding the Zulus in a strong hill position, retired. The British troop ship Oronies with the jdy of the prince imperial is expected to •ach England on the 9th of July. The queen has commanded that the troop ship Oronte* bearing the remains of the prince imperial, shall be escorted on her arrival by the channel fleet. The duke of Cambridge basr approved the proposal for a general army subscription to raise a memorial to the late prince imperi al. Tlie subscription lias already been opened. Paris, July 1.—At a meeting cf the Bo- napartists at the residence of M. Rouher to day the will of the late prince imperial was read, but no decision was arrived at respect ing tbe future course of the party. A depu tation of the meeting communicated the will to Prince Jerome Bonaparte, who simply acknowledged it. M. Rouher letused to participate with the deputation, staling that henceforth he was determined to take no active part in politic* L’OrUre, the organ of M. Rouher. makes the following declaration: “Prince Jerome Napoleon is recognized as chief of the Na poleonic dynasty and consequently chief of the Bonapartist party. He cannot fail to receive the resolute and devoted support of all faithful to the empire." This ’declara tion b made by the advice of M. Rouher, but it b doubtful whether all the imperial- bts will rally around Prince Jerome, who silent attitude. The Times’ Paris correspondent says that ■ jrof the Bonapartbta are under- concui with M. Rouher in ac knowledging Prince Jerome Bonaparte as the chief of the- Napoleonic dynasty. They argue that the will of the late prince impe rial, which asks ex-Em press Eugenie to«co- o|>erate . with Prince Victor, was written on the assumption tliat the testator would survive Prince Jerome Bona parte. Thb reasoning, however, b consid ered as a transparent excuse for a non-ob- e of tbe impracticable will of the t irince imperial. M. R uher’s retirement rom active politics b evidently owing to a feeling that he and Prince Jerome cou'd not act together, aud that latter could not be set aside. What between Prince Jerome Bonaparte The Georgia legislature will meet thb morning, for the purpose of concluding its session, which was adjourned over from February. The general belief is that we shall have a long session, extending proba bly from six weeks to two month*. Thb belief b based upon the fact that the legis lature, in its first session, did very little conclusive work. It went into the discus sion of several questions, but postponed action on the most of them, leaving the actual settlement ot them to the adjourned session. Among the topics thus adjourned over are: 1— The Moffett Register Law—This question was debated in the last session, but was never deebively treated. In the recess, Mr Orr, the state school commis sioner, has been ergaged in a most vigorous canvass that has covered nearlv the entire state, and he has secured enough feeling in favor of it to make it a prominent issue of the session. It will come up early. 2— The Doo Law—This question \ generally discussed last session, but the many hours spent over it only seem to deepen the muddle. All the ground here tofore covered, and more too, will have to be gone over and the law will he bitterlv contested on both sides before it is finallv dbposed of. 3— The Agricultural and Geological Bureaus.—A temporizing course was pur sued with both of these bureaus at the last session. The agricultural was provided with funds and let alone wijh the an nouncement from many of its opponents that they would renew the fight at the coming session. The geological was tempo- rarily suspended by the withholding of its appropriation, its friends declaring, how ever, that they would >et it up again at thi* session, and many of those who voted against it then, agreeing to change their votes, if convinced that a change was prop er, in the debate of the July session. The discussion over these departments cannot fail to be interesting, but tedious. 4— The Northeastern Railroad Bonds — It will be remembered that after a most searching investigation that lasted through the best part of last session, the committee on the signing of these bond* made a major ity and a minority report. Neither of these reports were adopted and the matter comes to the July session unsettled. It is said, and thb seems to be generally acknowl edged, that both rei*>rt» will be dropped and a resolution exonerating, the governor in the fullest terms will bettassed. We can not speak definitely upon this subject, but it may be considered certain that the North eastern railroad bonds will consume little time. 5— The Convict Lease.—A very vigorous investigation into the affaity of the lease of the state convicts was made durim? the last session under the leadership of the late Colonel Alston. It b believed that this matter will be prosecuted thb session, though in what shape it is Impossible to predict There are many who hold that the state has no right to* interfere in the lease, apd these person* may control the matter. In any event it will probably be discussed. 6.—The Wild Land Troubles.—There seems to be no longer a possibility of post poning a thorough and extensive investiga tion into the matter of the wild land trouble. There haev been annual complaint* left Saturday for the trip. Tbe party was completed by Hon. Arthur Gray, of Ca toosa. rr^the state senator from that district, met the party with a carriage. Arrange ments were made for two large gatherings of the people, at La Fayette on Sunday and at Cassandra, in McLemore a cove, on Mon day, where the governor delivered Sunday- school addresses- Tbe party returned home by wav of Chattanooga on Tuesday. The reception by the people was most cordial, who gave a’hearty hospitality to the execu tive. The citizens appreciated the interest shown by bim in visiting among them to acquaint himself personally with the needs the section. As tbe governor belong* to tbe people, they feel that they have a right to this personal attention at hb bands.

Finally some one arose in the states general and requested to know’ If the Dutch army had a commander- in-chief at all, and demanded that if the prince of Orange could not attend to his duties the appointment should be conferred on some one else. The prince was called before the cabinet and asked if he could not at least inspect the army once or twice a year, but he tola the ministers that he had no penchant for military affairs. A proposition was then made to take his salary away from him, but the queen interfered, and out of respect for her nothing further was done about it. The prince subsequently fixed hb permanent abode in Paris,always professing deep attach ment to hb mother, but paying little heed to tlie commands of hb royal father that often reached him. It was while surrounded by a bevy of nously 111. The j?ayety of the surroundings seemed at that time to oppress him. .** lifted his hand to his head, and, tossinj couple of hundred franc bills on tlie tal.», he told the young ladies to settle for the exnemliture* The next scene finds him at Delft as chief mourner at the vault where the remains of his mother were being lowered. Teara ;jn profusion tolled down his dissipated-looking cheek* When the procession reformed and passed out of the old Dutch cathedral, the prince of Orange made a courteous obei sance to King William, but tbe son would not recognize the father. Once more he (led back to the scenes of gay life, and while yet morose from the scenes he had passed through he heard of the father’s intention to marry again. This threw him into such an excitement that aL one time he threatened to repair to the Hague and create a row in his father’s palace. It took all the ingenuity of Colonel de Kock and Major Bentinck lo prevent him from car rying out his design. Once more he threw himself into the vortex of the vilest abyss of French licentiousnes* The human frame can only stand a certain strain. The moment the coni which binds it to life b overstrained, it snap* and it is thus that the prince of Orange i “ ’ * ... - - on Wednesday. Once, indeed, he wa* on the eve of aton ing for all hb past sins, and was -really ready to turn over a new leaf; but the fate* alas! were against him. It was when he heard that a chance existed that be might possibly wed the young Princess Alice, Queen Victoria’s daughter. With two members of his staff he repaired to London, and though Queen Victoria knew t hat he had been rather wild, she neverthe less, out of regard for hb mother and the noble house from which he descended, and himself being the heir to anancieut throne, did entertain the idea of considering tlie matter,and wasnotdisinclined to the match. Unfortunately, it so happened that when it l»ecame bruited about ill Pari* in the places which he frequented, that he was about to proceed to London to solicit the hand of the Princess Alice, the fraihones who had shared hb convivialities also preceded thither. In faqt, they were there ahead of of him, causing a flutter of excitement uot at all relished in royal circles. The prince of Orange was quietly informed that Queen Victoria had not tbe least idea of giving him her daughter In marriage, and once more he returned to Paris, taking with him Ids frail companion* who had gained the victory. From that time the life of the prince was devoted to^exces* and debauch ery, until the end announced on Wednes day evening. IN GENERAL. WRITTEN* LY BLOOD. A SICKENING SIGHT IN NEW YORK.

A committee was api*ointed at the last session to loyk into the law and its operation* and this committee after a ses sion of several weeks b about ready to re port. Its report must be taken up and dis posed of. 7—General Laws—-There arc many gen eral changes in the general law tliat will be attempted, if not made. In the first place, an attempt will be made to repeal the law relating to capital punishment, and it is ■resumable that Judge Hall will defend ib bill. The railroad question b left open, and of course attempts will be made to ad just the freight tariffs to the alleged de mands of the new constitution. It is said that a serious attempt will be made to sell the W. & A. IL R. And various other changes will be proposed to the general law, of course each proposition being backed with a speech or two. 8. Local or Private Law*—There are bushels of these, while of course the most of them will be settled promptly, by the opin ion of the members locally interested. But there are many of hem that will provoke and sustain a debate and some of them that will probably call for a special committee. It will take many a day to pass even the 1 . THE LENGTH OF THE SESSION. These are in brief the main points that will engage the attention of the members. It b hard to conceive«the possibility of them getting through in less than six week* Speaker Bacon says that he thinks tlie session will consume about six weeks, but they say the major puts the time at tbe shortest limit in order to hurry the boys up. Hon. Gregg Wright, on the other hand, says: “I do not think we will be kept heie over thirty day* I have always noticed that when a long session b predicted we have a short one, and vice versa." “There’s a great deal of legislation. What about the dog law and the Moffett regis ter?" •Oh, they’ll be killed so quick, they won’t make much delay.” "And about the Northeastern railroad bonds?" "I suppose the majority report will be adopted. I do not think the session will go over thirty day*" Hon. Arthur Gray thinks the sessioh will bat until September. Tbe honorable Ar thur b afraid of the dog law. He says bis conscience b for it, but his constituents are against it. . Another member thinks that the session will last until it b cool enough for the south Georgia members to return home in safety. There is one fortunate thing—there will be no content for offices. As this is aim pi v an adjourned session, all the old officers and ployees will hold over. There are also officials to elect—unless we except a ge to fill the place of the late Judge Harris, now filled by Judge M. 8. Merslion. who was appointed by the governor a few weeks ago. AMONG THE MEMBERS. Most of tbe members have arrived, and have secured homes for the se?sion. The Kimball and Markham are both lull, and many have been forced to go to private houses who would have prefered to have lived at a hotel. There are many who pre fer the quiet of a retired home. AT comfortably fixed, and are ready to g work promptly thb morning. It b proba ble. however, that little will be done this week, as adjournment will be made for Friday, the 4ih of July.

New Braunfels, Tex., July 2.—Several years ago a startling mtmler aroused the ctuzens of New Braunfel* It was in 1874 that citizen Jaust, well-known here, tempo rarily left his home on business for a town some thirty miles distant. As was quite natural lib wife, Mr* Faust, not liking to remain at the house alone, prevailed on a beautiful young girl, a relative, Miss Linrna \oelker, to stay with her till her husband's return. Mr* Faust and Miss Voelker slept in the same bpd. The gloom of midnight lay upon the pretty lit tle town of New Braunfels, its inhabitants were steeped in slumber, its streets were silent, and no footfall was heard on the de serted sidewalk* No sound disturbed the scene save the occasional bark of a watch dog, or the distant lowing of herds of cattle. At this silent hour a sneaking assassin, with murder in his heart, succeeded in stealthily entering the apartment at Faust’s house, wherein hb wife and Miss Voelkec were quietly reposing, unconscious of the presence of danger. With an ax the murderer struck Miss Voelker iu the head while sho slept. The young lady’s skull was literally cleft open, and her blood a j brains flowed over the pillow and mat ted the bed clothes in one gory heap. Miss voelker’s death must have been instanta neous. The fiend also attempted the death of Mrs. Faust, and also struck her with the ax, but she recovered from her wounds, though of a most dangerous and critical character.

Allentown, Penn., July 2.—The village of Emails, pear thb city, had quite a sensa tion last Monday night, and the principal actor therein will soon be laid away to rest, it being a case of love and suicide. The facte are: Anthony Sharpe, a young man 23 years of age, and by occupation a tinsmith, has for some time been paying attention to a young lady named Amanda S. Etlinger, whose father, 8. K. Ettinger, was so shock ingly mangled and killed by tlie east Texas boiler explosion some days ago. Yesterday Sharpe paid a vbit to Miss Ettinger, and in the evening went out with her tor a walk, during which sho told him of certain bad reporisriie had heard of him, and that best thing for them to do was to separate, whereupon he took her home, and after bidding her good-bv, left the house. After going a short dbtance, he took a revolver from his pocket and fired three shots at himself, two of which took effect, one entering the breast near the heart, and passing entirely through his body, the other in the side above tbe hip, the third shot missed. Sharpe was found a few minutes after bathed in blood. He was carried to a house where be now lies at the poin t ot death, although fully conscious of all that is * transpiring. He says that he does not wish to see the young lady now, but that she can gaze upon him after death, if she feels so inclined: that he committed tho deed through love for her, and that he was sorry the shots did not prove fatal at once.

Not long after the death of William 8. O’Brien, of tho bonanza firm, three persons arrived in this city and occupied apart ments at Ae Baldwin hotel. W hen it be came known that one of them—an elderly in feeble health—represented himself Patrick II. O’Brien, a brother of the deceased, much curiosity was aroused as to his intentions especially when it was known that Mr. O’Brien never gave any Intimation that he had a brother living. The other two were the w ife and daughter of the sickly man, and seemed to be very solicitous as to his mental and physical condition. After staying a few weeks at the Baldwin they removed to the palace, where the husband and wife re mained close in their rooms, and the three always took their meals in their own apart ment* The daughter, whose name is Pau line, and known in society circles as the Irish beauty, frequently went out, and seemed to have considerable business on her bands. Between 7 and 8 o’clock Tuesday morning, Patrick H. O'Brien died, and was buried the following afternoon in the Catholic cemetery vault Dr. B, F. Hardy, who at tended him, retried that heart disease was the cause of death. The funeral was con ducted in a very quiet manner, scarcely any one knowing that another of the O’Brien family had been called to his long home. When Pauline and her mother appeared with the invalid at the Baldwin it was not the first time that they were in San Fran cisco. Indeed, they for a considerable time before the death of the millionaire had their home with him at his residence on Sutter street and, although Mrs. O’Brien is no?provided for in the. will, Pauline has $300,000 bequeathed to her. Shortly afte his death they went ou a visit to the east, and in the early part of January last sud denly arrived at Raleigh, N. C.. where for a number of years 1*. 11. O’Brien, who was believed to be a widower and childless, had been living upon the charity of friends, an invalid in body and an imbecile in mind. Two or three days after the appearance of the two women he was spirited away, and nothing more was heard of the three until they arrived in this city. Pauline then began to make frequent visits to the office of a prominent lawyer, tbe object being to secure a share of the O’Brien estate. Acting upon the proofs of her father’s identity as a brother of William 8. O’Brien, furnished by Miss Pauline, the lawyer made a demand on the trustees of the estate for $1,000,090. basing his claim on the grounds that undue and illegal influence had been used with the deceased in tlie disposal of his prop erty^ The trustees at first refused to entertain tbe demand, but proofs of the re lationship being shown 'hem, the matter was referred to three arbitrator* consisting of Con O'Connor, F. F. Low and William Freeborn. The matter rested in the hands of tbe arbitrators for Nome time, and shortly before Patrick H. O’Brien’s death they an nounced that $600,000should be paid to Mr* O’Brien in settlement of the case, and this amonnt was paid over to heron Wednesday after the buna! of her husband. Before h» death, William 3. O’Brien said that he had but one brother, who died in Baltimore in 1861 or 1802. yet he bequeathed to Mis* Pauline $300,000, the like sum which he left to bis other niece* Mr* O’Brien, who is the plea c Bat when a When the prince of Orange reached the age of majority, the states teeners! voted him an income of lOO.ftX) guild?** per annum.
