Macon, November 14.???About 3 o???clock Sunday
morning as freight train No. 1 on the Central rail
road from Savannah was approaching station No.
If, and hod slackened its speed for the purpose of
taking on wood at the station, train No. 2 was seen
coming up from the rear under full steam, and pay
ing no attention to the efforts of the forward train
to waive it down. In a second or two after turning
4he curve that brought it in sight, train No. 2,
pulled by the engine Henry Mc.Vlpin, dashed iuto
the rear cab of traiu No. 1, making a
tremendous crash and wreck along the
entire line of cars. Some of the
cars were telescoped, some turned side-ways across
the track, and one thrown up to the top of a twelve
feet embankment and lodged by the road-way.
Freight Conductors Hay aud Sisson, who were not
on duty, but were on their way to Macon, were in
the rear cab of train No. 1 and were both injured In
the collision. The latter was struck senseless, his
shoulder bruised and a deep gosli cut on the head,
lie soon recovered, however, and his injuries
are not regarded as serious. According
t* the statement of the fireman and ad
missions of the party himself, the engineer John La-
ton.of tiie locomotive, Henry McAlpin.fell asleep at
his |0>st. The fireman was a new hand and failed to
sec the danger until too late. When the crash came
the tender of the Henry McAlpin was shoved
through the wall and into the car behind it. Thu
wood from the tender was piled upon the engine
und the cab was broken down. In spite of it ail,
however, neither the sleeping engineer or negligent
fireman received any injury. The engine held the
track ami suffered little dnmage compared with the
havoc it created. There were no other liersomt! in
juries. The damage to the engines and
cars will probably- be 87,000 or $M,0u0.
Shortly alter the accident the Saturday night pas
senger train from Savannah reached the scene, and
the passenger, wereeompeiled to wait over four or
five nours for the day train from Macon, when a
transfer was effected at the wreck. Conductor
Young had a warm breakfast for the passengers at
the station, and every courtesy was shown them by
the officials of the road possible under the circum
stances. Most of thedelaycd passengers were visit
ors to the cotton exposition and were compliment
ed at Macon with berth in the sleeper to Atlanta.
Washington, November 15.???Mrs. Hnrriet Mc-
l/ctidon, of Danbuiv, an estimable lady, died Sat
urday and was buried here Sunday. ???'The dwell
ing of Alec Wingfield, colored, a few miles from
town, was burned down yesterday. The new
Methodist < h ureh is being roofed with tin by a squad
of tinners from Athens. The top crop of cotton
in some sections of the county is opening very
favorably. Guano agents report collections
slow anil tedious. The receipts at this place are
atiovit 1,500 bales behind last year. A fine crop of
wheut and oats has been sown, and still there is a
brisk demand for seed grain, oats commanding SI
|>er bushel. About 400 bushels of the rust-proof va
riety oi wheat, known as the "Bill Dallas??? wheat
was shipped from this and Lincoln county early in
the fall to Atlanta and to the agricultural depart
ment at Washington city, so there Is a scarcity of it
now and quite a lively home demand. A good
many of our people will attend the exposition be
tween this and the middle of December. The
fanners want to finish ginning their cot
ton, kill hogs, and get through with
sowing grain, then they will l>e ready tocomc.
The tinkle of the marriage bells still ring out in the
air. The vicinity of Danburg will soon invest In
"orange blossoms.??? Judge I???ottle hits set aside
the second week in December to give John D. Cox-
well a new trial, provided a jury can be obtained
in the county. Washington can lay claim to at
least one honest man. Ono night last week a drum
mer representing J. W. Bessmiin, of Augusta, lost
ids (Kieket book containing fifty or sixty dollars, on
our streets. The next morning a gentleman called
upon the drummer, and banded him his pock
et book containing all his palters and bis mon
ey. The drummer failed to ask the gentleman his
name, but we say let him be handed down to pos
terity, as an honest man. Dr. S. G. Hillye.% the
Baptist minister hero, is winning golden opinions
from this community by his personal magnetism
and his magnificent sermons.
Rockpile, Dawson county, November 14.???James
Roc, an escaped convict from the penitentiary, was
captured on Saturday night last at the house of a
negro culled Butch Check, by James Crane and two
of the lteesc boys. He was sent from Forsyth coun
ty not more than two years ago for twenty-two
months. He soon made his escape and came back
to his old haunts, since which time he has spent
the most of the time in this vicinity. He was-
looked ui>on as a dangerous customer, and a few
attempts have been * made 'to capture him.
He usually went heavily armed, and had made
threats against any one who should attempt his
capture. Luckily,* on the night of his capture, lie
had no weapon but a knife. Ho attempted to savo
himself by running, and was shot in the side-
wounds not considered dangerous. Several shots
were fired at him. but one taking effect. In making
his way to the woods ho fell into a gullv, which en
abled Crane to come up with him, who knocked
him down with his .gun, and held him until
the others in pursuit came up. Hoe gave Crane a
dangerous slab below his left shoulder-blade and
bruised him severely near his heart. He is suffer
ing a good deal, but his attending phvsieianss, Drs.
Loopcr and Thompson, think he will recover. Hoe
was taken to Forsyth county jail yesterday.
Mjiiur.TTA, November 16.???Tho Boston Post said
sometime since that Atlanta had "bragged herself
into prosperity." and the committee ol invitation
should now invite him to the exposition that he
might see the truth of pnrl of his statement at least.

taken to thwart their plans. Mr. Thomas Wilcox,
an old citizeu of our county, was found last Sunday
moraitig dead in his bed.

world???s broad domain, each having resolved
to win. if honesty*, integrity and energy could
prevail. Their friendship ripened with fleet
ing years. Johnson rose from an alderman in
his adopted home to the presidential chair,
and when be died his friend, G. W. Jones,
addressed tiie largest assemblage of people
ever gathered together in East Tennessee, the
occasion of the laying of tiie corner-stone of
Andrew Johnson's monument.
Johnson did not remain in middle Tennes
see any great length of time, but soon turned
his wandering footsteps back towards East
Tennessee, working a short while at each
town on his way. At Knoxville he became
acquainted with a number of prominent and
influential men. At Uandridge lie worked
two weeks with George W. Tabler, who at
that time was one of tire best tailors in East
Tennessee. Johnson always dressed very
neatly, went to hear Father Campbell, a Pres
byterian preacher, who then preached in an
old log church. In the evening he would
take a long walk for exercise after his day???s
work, and would keep the best of company or
however, now permanently in the hands of Rev. N. none. He said lie wished to associate with

as his education was very limited.
The great commoner owed much of his edu
cation to the lady to whom he was married
shortly afterwards. She was a woman of great
energy and possessed a plain education. She
taught her husband to read, and manypersons
have seen the two in .the little shop???at night,
he working and listening attentively to the
reading of his wife.
When Mr. Johnson had completed the time
with Mr. Tabler for which he had contracted,
he left Dandridge and returned to Greene-
ville, where he had left his mothar. On his
way thither he obtained the names of several
of the most prominent men in the neighbor
hood, for whom he could cut and tit clothes.
He first stopped at Warrensburg, on Lick
creek, near the Chuckcy river. He
saw Philip Moser, who lived on
Long creek; Colonel Joseph Hamilton, a
lawyer, who owned a large river farm; Robert
Hill, who owned the Chuckey bend; Major
Hogan, Major Conneway, Major Porter Doug
lass and Mr. Scruggs, who owned a large river
farm and had a little store in Warrensburg.,
He made for Mr. Scruggs's two sons their first
fine cloth suit. He remained some time mak
ing clothes for the people on Lick Jcreek and
Chuckey river, and his work there made him
very popular in the lower end of Greene coun
ty. One of Mr. Scruggs's sons, John, became
a teacher and Baptist preacher, and the other,
James, a trader, and afterwards a politician.'
Returning to Greeneville, Johnson rented a
small frame shop, hung outhissign, ???Andrew
Johnson, Tailor,??? andr settled dflwn steadily
to work. He married shortly afterwards, and
he, his wife and his mother lived on one of
the back streets of Greeneville, in a small
frame house with two rooms. Forty years
from the time he landed in Greeneville with
his blind irony and cart he owned large
property, and rose from a poor tailor to an
alderman, member of the legislature, govet-
nor, congressnian^seuato;- vice president and
president of the United- States. He learned
Latin after he was elected member of con
gress the first time. He was studying when
ever he had a leisure moment on his hands.
His great desire was to benefit his children
and give them a good education. He
sent them to the best schools to be
found and guarded over them with care.
His mother married a man named Doata
and lived until her death on a small farm
which her son purchased for her. It was said
of Johnson, even by his worst enemies, that
he was an honest politician and could not be
bribed. He was perfectly devoted to his
mother, and always visited her on every possi
ble opportunity. A siriiilar example was ex
hibited in the case of President Andrew Jack-
son. He, to o, was a poor boy when he went
to East Tennesse. His mother was dependent
on him for support. Johnson and Jackson
were Arm friends. (ieneral \Vi lliam M. Lowry,
formerly United States marshal for East Ten
nessee, but now asuecessful banker in Atlan ta,
was also one of Johnson???s best friends. He
stood by Johnson on every occasion. When

There are some incidents in the life of An
drew Johnson which I have never yet seen
published, and which I gathered front him iii
an interview in Nashville while he was mili
tary governor in Tennessee. In that inter
view he spoke of the great, contrast between
his position then and when, a poor boy, he
first arrived at (ireeneville in search of em
ployment, and his after visit to
Dandridge on a similar mission. He
came front North Carolina with his mother, in
a two-wheel cart drawn by a blind pony.
Arriving at Greeneville, he sold his ponv and
cart and rented a small house, 16x18 feet in
dimensions, and at once settled down to work
at the tailor's trade, at which he had served
his apprenticeship in North Carolina. He
soon became dissatisfied with Greeneville,
and. after making arrangements for his moth
er???s support, started out on foot in search of a
more userative field of labor. He walked to
Rogersville. twenty-five miles distant; from
thence to Rutledge. Knoxville and Kingston,
working at each place a short while.
He then crossed the Cumberland mountains
and worked his way by degrees into middle
Tennessee. There he met the now venerable
G. W. Jones, of Fayetteville, then a poor I
young man learning the saddlery and har
ness trade. A warm friendship* sprung up {

(ft EORGIA. MILTON COUNTY'.???NOTICE IS
VJT hereby given to all persons concerned, that R.
2. Lackey, late of said county, departed this life
I) testate, and no person has applied foradministra-
What bitter words were said to-night
Beside my hearthstone desolate!
What maddening sorrow brake the gloom
Of this forever haunted room
When solemn twilight fell.
And 1. now robbed of my delight.
Came homeward, all at war with fate,
And deafened by her funeral knell!
Before the daisied sods were placed
Upon her grave, my one year wife.
Before the blossoms, fresh and fair,
Were hidden from the outer air
Upon her coffin lid,
A stranger claimed with awful haste
The right to weep for that spent life.
Nor could I those hot tears forbid.
He came from far off land of gold.
Whose shore* the southern waters lave;
Ho came to scatter at her feet
World???s wealth and love???s, to make complete
Their lives with perfect end;
To claim her promise given of old.
And found the silence of a grave.
Without the right that grave to tend.
And I. to whom they gave her hand.
With full assurance of her heart,
I, who a year ago laid down
The dream of fame that was to crown
The scholar???s round of toil.
And lived to guard ray wife; I stand
Aghast, eonfoutvied at the part
I played, my darling???s life to spoil.
I thought to make her so content,
I thought that love must answer love;
I spent the wealth that God had given
As freely as the dews of heaven.
To beautify her lot;
I fenced with love the way she went,
I hung love???s canopy above
But now X know she heeded not.
She was my wife, sho wore my ring,
My jewels shown upon her breast,
And while I thought that time would be
A friend to my young wife aud mo,
And bind ns soul to soul,
Like wandering doves upon tho wing,
Her wounded spirit found no rest.
I had no power to make her whole.
One year she went upon her way.
The mistress of mine ancient halls.
One year she blessed my quiet life.
One year???one little year- my wife.
And now the tale is told;
I laid her in her grave to-day,
But on that grave the shadow falls
Of one who loved in days 0 f old.
"My one ewe lamb!??? he said to me.
This evening when the twilight fell,
???lhe poor ewe lamb her owmers sold
To thee for shameful greed of gold,
My lamb that thou has slain;
Foi it was death to link to thee
The beating heart that loted me well.
And she hath perished of her pain.???
And then he cursed me in his grief;
Oh God! I could find curses, too.
To think of all my wasted cares.
My love, my longings, and my prayers.
For ono weak woman???s heart;
But bitter words bring no relief
For love so old. for grief so new:
No curse hath healing for a smart
She was my wife, she wore my ring.
Bat now I know she was my slave.
I know each tender look and entile
Came from a heart that ached the while
For love of one away;
1 could not win that blessed thing.
Her girlish love???the gift she gave
Another iu a far off-day.
He. coming home to claim his wife.
Lies prone upon the church yard sod.
And I wonld gladly die to win
The reaee my wife lies folded in.
My wile! my wife! said!.
Ah heaven! the riddle of this life
Is hard to read. She is with God.
Nor can I claim her though I die
She was my wife, but was not mine.
I bought, her. as she said, with gold,
Hut in ray heart of hearts I am
Clean from all hurt of this ewo lamb;
1 did not steal a wife.
But had no instinct to divine
Between a heart free given or Bold;
And so I wrecked my darling???s life.
???All the Y???cor Round.
