The latest agricultural papers of England say of the growing crops there that wheat looks finely everywhere, and the crop is larger than the average, as expected. Grass is unusually thin, and the hay prospects are discouraging. Oats, barley and beans look poorly. Farmers count on about half a crop of potatoes, and the yield ot the other root crops will be about as usual. important to Southern Claimant*. The Senate had under consideration, last Monday, the bill to pay legal claimants in the South lor quartermaster and commissary- stores taken by tbe Federal army during the war. A long debate was had, in which it was held by the opponets ot the bill that it was the opening wedge to a series of claims lrom the South which would bankrupt the Treasury. No final action was taken. Tbe Typocrai»talcal International l nion on Colored Printers. On tbe 8tb instant., this “ Union ” now in ses sion in Cincinnati, by a voteoi Cl to 11, adopted s report to tbe effect that they believed it would be assuming an arbitrary power, and contrary to tbe progress of civilization and the advance ment of this enlightened age, lor this Union to legislate on the color ol printers seeking admis sion to the Union, and they recommend the matter to be lelt to the discussion ol the subor- dinate Unions. flu tlie Admission of Whltlrmare to a ■eat 111 CongreM. Forney, in bis Philadelphia Press, says that “ Whittemore ought not to be re-admitted to Congress, notwithstanding his re election. He has been convicted of an offense which shows him unfit lor the duties ol a legislator. The reputation of our government, as well as ol the Republican parly, would suffer by permitting him again to lift up his voice in the councils of the nation. The lacl that he was able to im pose on a rural and not over intelligent consti tuency is no vindication.” Knduatrlal Exposition at Cincinnati. Wc have received a circular announcing that an industrial exposition will take place in Cin cinnati on the 21st September- next, under the auspices ot tbe Cincinnati Chamber ot Commerce Board ol Trade and the Ohio Mechanics’ Insti tute; manulaclurers, mechanics, artists, invent ors and others are invited to contribute speci mens ol their skill and ingenuity. Ample arrangements will be made with tbe various railroads, steamboats, and other lines, to transport visitors and articles intended for the exposition at tbe most favorable rales. Any in formation as to details may be obtained ol Abner L. Frazer, Secretary of the Society, at Cincin nati. We hope there will l>e many exhibitors and contributors lrom Georgia; and we hope also, as the exposition will be over in time lor ihe exhibitors to be present at the. State Fair to be held In Atlanta, the following month, many of them will be here with their improved ma chinery anil other useful inventions. MTore Trull* than Poetry In Tt. The Nashville Banner says that “ nothing seems to give the ultra Radical element such concern as the apprehension that the Conscrva lives will become too conservative and too liberal (or tbe political health of ihe Radical organization. Consequently, they are eternally vexing the public ear wiili frantic screams that there cau be but two parties in the country, namely, tbe Radical party and the Democratic party. And what is more significant still, the intense and essentially democratic Democrats are eternally chiming in with the sentiment and both together in concert, arc howling it lrom the house-tops, when the great mass ol voters are hard at work in their fields and work shops, and not caring a copper cent about the stale egg which is causing all this unseasonable but harmonious cackle.’ There is “more truth than poetry” in the foregoing lrom our Nashvillo cotemporary. Tbe extremists ol both political parties trouble the countiy too much with bombast and fustian. -* m- Spicy ltetort. In tbe United States Senate, on Wednesday last, the petition ol Mr. Hatch, setting lorth that his rights a9 an American citizen had been vio lated in his unjustifiable arrest, imprisonment and sentence to death by tbe Domiqjcan author ities, beiug under consideration, Senator Chan dler remarked that “ Hatch was a troublesome, worthless .scoundrel, who, without authority, had given a certificate to a ship ol war to leave the port ol San Duni.ngo to prey upon the Dominican Government, and in various ways to cooperate with the rebels. lie thought tlfe great mistake of that Government was that they had not executed him." To which Senator Terry replied that “ Mr. Hatch was a resident of tbe town in which he himselt lived. He knew him, and would trust to his honor and integrity as quickly as he would trust the Senator from Michigan. After the exceedingly vile language ot the gentleman, it was necessary that a word should be said in defense ol Air. Hatch.” This was a spicy and severe retort, but not sufficiently so as to cause any apprehensions on the part ot Seuators that a resort to " pistols aud coflee lor two” would be the consequence ol it. Tbe Cibui Question. The majority and minority report or the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, on the Cuban question, was to be made public on <hc 9’h h; n !. The Committee were to report, it i 'ail*, pro ably two resolutions. One will de clare in fav r ol an impartial neutrality on tbe part ot the Government between Spain and Cuba, thusg’ving the latter the same privileges that are now accorded the former to buy arms, gur.b ats, etc.; the other will call upon the con tending parties in Cuba to wage ihe war on the basis n uized by civilized nations, and not to execute a. prisoners. The opponents ot these resolutions say that they are an indirect recog nition of belligerent rights. London accounts of the 8lh instant, state that the admiralty authorities there are considerably excited over the departure of a suspicious steam er, the Chieftain, which left a short time ago on an ostensible mercantile voyage to Japan, but rrtiicli cleverly eluded the vigilance of the ad miralty, and is now afloat She is a formidable accession to the Cuban insurgent navy. Her appearance and the correctness of her clearance papers disabused tbe minds of tbe authorities of any doubts as to her peaceful nature, though her unusually heavy armament excited suspicion, which was explained by her commander, stating that they leared a collision with the Japam.se pirate?, and had, therefore, taken these precau tions. Upon these presentations they were allowed to depart. Quickly following, came a startling rumor, fully corroborated, that her mercantile mission was only a blind, and she is now afloat under tbe Cuban insurgent flag. Immediately steps have ueen taken to prevent her success in her crusade against Spanish commerce. Telegrams were immediately dis patched to the British consul at Havana giving descriptions of her appearance, and the warlike uature ol her errand. Oar Indian Relations—Singular Request. Gen. McCook has forwarded a letter to Wash ington lrom a citizen of Colorado mentioning to him the appr« uensions ol the people of that 1 erritory that the Indians, who are becoming dissatisfied with tbe condition ol their relations with the Government, may create trouble. Reports from the Crow country ailnde to a slrong inclination on the part of that tribe to go on the war path for the Sioux, and they even ask our Government to provide arms and ammu nition to them lor this purpose. One of the prin cipal Crow chiefs, at a recent conference, made a strange request for ten negro women, which favor, tbe warrior asserted, would be recipro cated by the bestowal of all bis land upon the Government. That Crow Chief can be accommodated “down South,” which can spare ten, aye a hundred negro women for a less consideration than “ all his land.” aw ■BH The Prince** Kdltlta In Her own Uefenne The New Yoik police reports tell how this erratic lady—tbe reputed daughter of the late Lola Montez—was urrestid, last evening, lor re fusing to pay her hotel bill at the Astor House, and bow sha was subsequently released, with the understanding, however, that she should be taken back to tbe bote), to be submitted to medi cal examination, in order that it may be ascer tained whether or cot she is insane. In the Herald, meantime, the lair Princess takes up the cudgel, or tbe peu rather, in her own behalf, aud thus shows, over her own name, that, lor whatever fault she has committed, “ Sorosis also is responsible : it was my desire (at the Steiuway Hall lec ture) to appear in my own attire, aud not in a masculine gatb. 1 bad iutended to wear a long black silk dress, with sarque ot the same mate rial, but it was overruled by two of the leading members ot Sorosis, who counselled me to ap pear in gorgeous attire, and, considering their age and experience, 1 complied with their wishes. For lully fittceu miuutes I conversid with Mrs. d. and Mrs. P. before going upon the stage, and not a single word of displeasure against ray style of attire tell upon my ear. On the contra ry, Airs. P. called me a “ glorious creature,” and Mrs. S. told me not to stand like a stick upon the rostrum, but to walk to and fro, thereby giving a gracelul. flow to my train. I made my appearance at seven minutes past eight o’clock, aud not at half-past eight, as was stated. After speaking some three minutes I was told—nay, almost iorced—to leave tbe stand. Receiving such untoward treatment at tbe bands of one who had promised to aid me, I, as a natural consequence, lost what little presence of mind I had, and gave way to a regular *• stage fright.” Whatever error 1 may have com mitted I am perlectly willing to rectify and make good. Least ot all do 1 desire that those who extend disinterested patronage to me should sutler by my failure. I received much pecunia ry assistance for which 1 leel deeply grateful, aud 1 received temperate advice, which _1 neg lected under pressure lrom others. I did intend aud was advised to lecture on my mother alone —a aubject with which I am perlectly couver gant—but I was driven into the woman’s ques tion, and on that Hailed. Princess Editha. Caugitt in a LiE.—General Phil. Cook de nies having spoken publicly at Andersonville.— We know it, lor Phil. Cook is a gentleman, and would no more disturb the yankee grave-yard Jubilee than he would dig up a yankee skull lor a beer-tankard. But half the papers in Georgia have published a report of bis speech there, nevertheless; according to which he bearded Bullock and the whole grave-yard party. It sometimes appears as though more idiots had crept into the editorial profession than in any other. The foregoing from the Griffin Star ex presses our own views in regard to the gallant geutiemau referred to therein. Gen. Cook is as incapable ot committing any act of impropriety, especially such as was ascribed to him by the press that originally announced his having bearded tbe Governor and the party that as sembled at Audersonville for “ memorial ” pur poses, as any other gentleman in Christendom. A soldier, himself, one who achieved distinction during the late war, he is incapable of commit ting any outrage upon a party, however much he may be politically opposed to them, who bad assembled to pay tribute to the memory of their dead. That be was an observer of the ceremo nies of tbe occasion is true, but that be conducted himself publicly, or otherwise, to give ollense, or to “ beard ” those who participated in these ceremonies, we do not, and never did believe. And it was lor that reason we declined to give circulation to tbe talse statement which appeared in several of tbe papers ot this State concerning him. While referring to the matter we do not also hesitate to say, the reports from the same source concerning Governor Bollock—what be did and said on the occasion—are equally base less. Wc have it from Democratic sources, that tbe Governor’s remarks, as reported in the Era ol this city, was as nearly verbatim, as he made them, as the remarks of any one could be re ported by the most skillful stenographer. International Typographical Union. This “ Union,” now in session at Cincinnati has adopted a resolution favoring a regular sys tem of apprenticeship, wherever tbe influence of a Subordinate Union can operate. Tbe next convention will be held in Baltimore. Tbe pro jeet ol establishing a borne for disabled printers was considered impracticable. A resolution declaring this Union the highest authority in the printing business, having power to establish a general rule in regard to qualifica tions for admission to Subordinate Unions, was offered. This had reference to the admission ol negro printers under the rule adopted yesterday leaving the subject of admission to Subordinate Unions. It was claimed that one Union might admit a negro, aud if bis card was refused by others, then their charters would be forfeited. Mr. Bales, of Memphis, said it was understood lu the South that no negro would be admitted to a Union South of Alason and Dixon’s Line. So this subject remains as lelt by the action ol yesterday. A resolution was passed encouraging female compositors to co-operate with the male print ers wherever employed. Tbe Indians at the White House. Red Chiel, Red Cloud and Spotted Tail, with Ihtir warriors, head men, and henchmen, squaws, retainers, etc., were sumptuously led on the delicacies ol the season at one of the State dining-tables at the Executive Alansion last eve ning. Secretary Fish and the President were the principd parlies who did the honors of the occasion, though there were present several members ot the Cabinet, with their wives; the Russian and English Ministers, with their fami lies, and in lull evening dress; Commissioner o! Indian Adairs, Parker; Vincent Collier, the Indian Philanthropist; the military secretaries of the White House, Gens. Porter and Babcock Gen. Dent and others ol celebrity and distinction including a good number ol ladies, all of whom were in full dress to receive tbe Indians. This entertainment bad been under conside ration for some time, and despite the practical complaint of General Red Cloud, at the confer ence held at the In ian Department Friday, that the proprieties ol etiquette had been abused by the President in not calling upon so distin guished a visitor to the capital as himself, he nevertheless consented, to please the squaws, to respond to the invitation tor this evening, and not to act. ugly about it. They had been feasted with sliawtieriies and cream at Sherman’s lew days previous, and the recollections of that luscious feast had by uo means been forgotten Tbe big Indians made as elaborate toilets as their limited wardrobe allowed, and took car riages lor tbe White House about 6 o’clock.— They must have been surprised at the array of beauty and talent awaiting their arrival, but gave vent to no exclamation acknowledging it When they were introduced they said “ How ! ” in the peculiar emphatic style of Indians, aud everybody responded “ How! ” with excellent good lervor. It was a happy time for the Indians when the hand-shaking was over, lor then they were es corted in!o the Stule diniug-rooms, where so many former leasts had been labored through during tbe past winter, and were invited to sat isfy the craving ot their appetites upon ziauds perfectly new to their respective palates. Fruits, creams and wines were served to all. Then came the inevitable pipe of peace, where there is no peace, and alter a solemn pulling, more band-shaking, and twenty-seven good-byes, they returned to the lolty attics ot the lodgiugs where the government has placed them. Spotted Tail, Red Cloud, tbe many different Bears and Wolves, and others, have had quite enough ol civilized Iile, and sigh heavily for the green sward ol their savage home and the de lights ot the buflalo hunt and the war dance.— They will soon go. What good result will come ot their visit, has not yet manifested itsell very forcibly. There are no treaties to be made. W bat the Indians want is to have those in ex istence already carried out.— Cor. Nashville Union tfc American. A Hard HU. CovoJe, known as the clown of the House, the Congressman who had his West Point ca detship sold, but (ailed to realize on it, got a de licious bang on bis skull, when be accused Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania, of making a tarifl speech for his constituents, but voting on tbe floor ot the House with Free Traders. He was told in reply that if he (Woodward) should se lect a biographer he would get a truthful one, and not bis colleague, aud that be desired to de bate with honorable men, and not with a man who had stolen his seat in the House from an honest man tor the purpose ot selling cadetships. Tlic Cincinnati and CbaUanooga Rail road. A Washington dispatch says that it is Sena tor Chandler’s intention to offer the Cincinnati and Chattanooga bill as an amendment to the New York and Waahiugton bill, and be is con fident of success. Good Lands. The Chattanooga Times, of the lOtb instant, says: “We understand that some 250 acres of Llrtlf Moon Island, 40 miles below Kingston, on the Tennessee River, were sold last week, by Mr. Albert Montgomery, to Air. John Johnson, both ol Roane county, tor two hundred dollars an acre. This is a pretty good price, bnt the same land sold at auction, before tbe war for $153 sold, per acre. Of course the land is rich, and is good lor 100 bushels ot corn per acre in ordinary seasons, and in good seasons is said to produce 1 ~»0 bushels to the acre; bnt we think that i9 a little too high an estimate. One hun dred bushels of corn to the acre ought to satis fy anybody ” masonic. New York, JuneS.—Yesterday the note of preparation for the imposing Masonic ceremo nies of to day, the laying ot the corner-stone of the Grove Alasonic Temple to be erected in this city, was sounded. The business of yesterday was the assembling of the Grand Lodge and the rcceptiou in a fitting form of members of the Fraternity from Philadelphia and elsewhere, who bad resolved to visit this city for the pur pose of taking part in, and assisliug on, this grand occasion. The weather was unpleasant, and therefore the imposing procession ot Knight Templars was not witnessed by as great a throng as it otherwise would have been. At the Grand Lodge yesterday the Grand Alaster ot Canada was mtioinced, and in the course his spe< rh paid Ins respects to the Fenians. The grand procession ol Free Alasons this morning was in every respect a decided success, 'l'lie weather was glorious and grand. It was pleasant under foot for walking. The column was formed in ten divisions, the right resting on Filth avenue. They marched through Filth av enue, lrom Twenty-third street to Rhrtieth street. Sixth avenue to Thirty-fourth street, and filth to Twenty-third street, when the right ot the column halted, and the marshals opened their sereral divisions. The ceremonial ol laying the corner-stone then commenced. Different lodges with their insignia and their banners presented a splendid appearance as they marched through tbe street, exciting tne admiration ot the assembled multi tude which lined the street along the line of march. The procession was considered the finest display by the Masonic Order ever wit nessed in this city. More than 40,000 Masons participated. Singular Cliurcl* Edifice. The Rev. Dr. Williams, ot Baltimore, who at tended the recent Baptist anniversaries at Phil adelphia, thus speaks ot “Beth-Eden ” Church in that city, in a letter to the Christian Index: The meeting ol the Baptist Historical Society was held last evening, at the famous “ Beth- Edeu ” Ohurch. Too late to hear the address ol Prof, Osgood—highly spoken of as a “big thing.” But I saw “Beth-Eden”—that fragments of it. To describe it is impossible— cannot be done on paper—at least, to the com prehension ot ordinary readers. Such an ex traordinary genius to describe it, that when de scribed the article would have to go begging to find an extraordinary reader to understand it. It must be seen, and seen all over, and seen again and again to torrn an idea of it; and then, even, you will not be able to recall anything in the past or present, in the books or out ol them, to compare it to. I have seen St. Peters, at Rome, St. Pauls, at London, cathedrals of all imaginable shapes in Europe: I have eeeu Grecian, Gothic, Doric, and pure American architecture—especially the latter, where a house has grown by patches—a main building, then a shed on the north side, then a shed on south side, then a patch od the end; I have seen white houses, and red houses, and brown houses and black bouses. 1 have seen bouses with galleries, high galleries and low galleries—galleries in the end and galleries on the sides ; church buildings with pulpits and without pulpits—with front doors, and back doors, and side doors. I would say imagine a church edifice blending all these styles and peculiarities, and colors at the same time, built ol the most costly material and ot exquisite workmansbip—no sbam.no mere representation, bnt every article being what it represents to be— i. e., the marble is marble, the stone is stone, the oak wood is oak wood, tbe walnut wood is wal nut wood, etc. It has thirty rooms in the base ment, and rooms on the top of tbe house-rooms in front and rooms in the rear—rooms every where, and for every conceivable purpose, has memorial columns and memorial windows, beautiful and significant, but dangerous. I am afraid of such things in Baptist churches. “ Ye observe days and weeks,” etc. “ I am afraid of you, etc.” “ Tnou shalt not bow down nor wor ship them, etc.” Yet the house is beautiful and grand, and grows upon you. The Louisville Courier-Journal says : The late Kiog Leopold, ot Belgium, was one of the most upright and exemplary of men, and died leaving no blot on his name either as a monarch or as a gentleman. He was held in the highest esteem by Queen Victoria, wbose aunt he married. He was very highly esteemed, in tact by all Europe. It is hardly probable then that the young woman “ attired with hete rogeneous magnificence in yellow silk and black aud white lace ” whom Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton introduced to a New York audience the other night as tlie Princess Editha Gilbert Mon- tez, daughter ol King Leopold and Lola Mon- tez, will be accepted as such by anybody on the other side ol the Atlantic. 11 she had claimed to be the daughter of Lola Montez and King Louis I, ot Bavaria, there would have been some grounds to suspect the claim to be trne ; but as Kmg Leopold never even saw Lola Mon- tez, and as Lola Alontez never had a daughter, Miss Editha Gilbert’s story is ol course nothing but bosh, and Airs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who was so anxious lor the rare honor ot intro ducing a pi in cess to the public, ought to be heartily ashamed ol herself and all her relations. Favorable Reports from the Southern Corn and Cotton Crops.—Tne weather daring the week has been warm and clear, with show ers to sprinkle over several sections hereabouts, just enough to refresh growing fields and make farmers happy. lu every quarter lrom Georgia to Texas the crops are reported excellent. On the Gull ceast the long dry spell is said to have retarded cotton and corn, but the timely showers >f last week nave brought them out beautifully. In this neighborhood squares are forming on a!) early planting ot cotton, and a sample of green stalks now lies on our table, raised above here on Islaud No. 40, over eighteen inches high, and with ten well tormed squares on each stalk, while the plant looks fresh and vigorous enough to branch out and make fifty squares before the season wanes. This is a lair sample of the whole field, and similar to several exhibited to us during the past week. When a square forms there will be a boll, and ten well matured bolls on stalks three teet apart will produce hall a bale to the acre. From this it will be apparent that beyond doubt we are to have a large yield this ear even should the future prove unpropitious, which at present is not likely. There is no cause tor comulaint anywhere that we have yet heard lrom.— Memphis Appeal, Ju ne 5 An Afternoon—A Fragment—“Dr. Smooth- man is quite a ladies’ doctor,” observed Mrs. Faint way. “ So nice! ” said one lady. “ So chatty! ” Said another. “ Never prescribes nasty things,” said a third. “ Ou! he’s a duck ! ” cried an enthusiastic young matron. “ You meau a quack,” growled her husband, who had just seen ihe doctor's bill lor one year’s attendant e.

This Is the shortest, quickest and best route,.between New York and New Orleans. The fare, we under stand lias been materially -placed.Some Daily. Drought.—We are surprised,and exceeding ly regret to hear the reports from a large por tion of Calhoun and this (Terrell) county as to the extent ot damage done by reason of the continued drought. Fully two thirds ot the area ot these two counties have not bad a sea son since the first ol April. It is thought that corn is too small to make one half a crop, un der the most favorable seasons But lor the bad stand, cotton has time to recuperate and make a medium crop. The best planters tell us ibis impossible to make a good crop of either corn or cotton in these dry localities,—D<iwson Journal. Fire Bells—We learn that Councilman Noble, while recently at the ^North, purchased two alarm fire bells—one to be pnt at the Mountain City engine house, and the other at that of the Rainbow. Their weight is about 500 pounds each.—Home Courier. Bold Attempt to Break Jail—A Negro Prisoner Killed.—5?Lx prisoners made a bold attempt to break jail at At aeon, last Sunday night. Henry Bayne, a notorions negro, while grappling Mr. Turnly, the jailor, was shot and killed by Air. Nance his assistant.—lb. Immigration.—Our citizens will bear in mind the meeting ot the German Immigration Aid Society, called lor this evening, at a quarter past eight o’clock. The importance of this movement cannot be overestimated 1 , and all who feel an interest in the commeice of Savan nah and prosperity of the South, should come forward and lend a helping band. Immigra tion is gradually weaning itself from Ihe port of New York, and we have only now to avail ourselves of affairs to attract, a large share of it to our own seaport, and the immigrants themselves to the fertile fields of tbe South.— Savannah Republican. , How the two are Valued.—It is quoted as a good thing ol the eo!ut$-d pastor, E. B, Rucker, who in the Justice’s, Wednesday, on be ing intormed that one-eighth uegio blood con stituted whites, negroes, said, ‘‘That’s tolerably on white blood, il one-eightti negro out weighs seveu eights while.” Reese Crawford, Esq, who happened to be present, replied, “ Yes that’s true, negro blood is so heavy that the least particle contaminates tbe whole. It shows the preciousuess ot white blood, and the care with which a mixture is guarded against.” The reverend colored man had new light thrown on the subject and had not a word to say.— Columbus bun. Sailing Under Borrowed Plumage.—It is reported ot a youDg “ jularker” at one of the marble yards, that a night or two ago he bor rowed his employer’s best suit' and went on spree among “ g’hirfa,” greatly to the detriment of the said harness aud the displeasure of his boss. We suppose he is ent it led to be ranked as one of the “ slippers.”— Columbus Enquirer, Mr. Nanly Starks, a respected citizen of tbe eastern part of Sumter county, was shot, one day last week, by a negro man in bi9 employment The negro fired several times at Mr. Sparks, and would uo doubt have killed him but for the in terposition ot a colored wonian. Mr. Sparks was paintolly wounded, but it is believed not mor tally. The negro made his escape.—lb. On Monday the committee of arrangements for the ceremony of dedicating the monument to the dead heroes ot the Charleston Washing ton Light Infantry were notified to telegraph dated at Memphis, that General Wade Hamp ton had accepted the invitation to deliver the dedicatory address.

The ladies are especially invited to attend.-'-Covington Exam iner. We paid a visit to a fine mill, while on little fishing excursion, last Saturday. It is situated on Soaps’ Creek, a large stream ot water, seven miles lrom inis place, and about one halt mile above where its water empties into the Chattahoochee. We were shown all through this mill by the gentlemanly Superin dent, Mr. J. H. Land, and saw with a curious eye all its workings, from where it first went in as a soiled tattered rag and came out the beauti ful sheet of snowy-while paper. This mill is in excellent condition, has splendid machinery, all in good running order. Employed at this mill are about twenty operatives. Many beauti ful and industrious young ladies are among the number. They incessautly work day and night and turn out an immense amount of paper. It is in flourishing circumstances, receiving a large and liberal patronage. We would recommend it to our brethren of the press lor their support, believing they will be pleased with the article that is made at this mill.—Maritta Journal. Lusus Naturae.—A gentleman ot this city has sent to our office a young chicken, which is a curiosity in its way. It bus four lully devel oped legs and three wings, one on either side, as usual, aud the third on the back. It is worthy of preservation in a cabinet ol natural curiosi ties.—Savannah Republican. The marine divers engaged at work upon the obstructions, yesterday, proceeded to make a thorough examination of tbe dry dock, which was sunk in South channel during the war. After encasing themselves in their apparatus, they descended and found the dock to be sunk in about thirty-six feet of water, and perfectly accessible to operations, as both ends are suffi ciently clear of tbe bottom to enable cables to be passed under. The material ol which she is built is represented to he sound, and in all probability the work of raising her will be com menced as soon as the present work on the floating “Georgia" is completed.—Savannah Advertiser. Assault with Intent to Murder.—On Sat urday night, May 28, a party of men entered the house of a laborer, on the plantation of Dr. \V. B. Ferrell, of this county, and proceeded to search the premises. On the remonstrance ot one ot the inmates one of the men fired upon a colored man in the bouse—wounding him in the head. Messrs. Joseph Morris, James Harris and Wm. Philiips were accused and warrants issued for their arrest. After the arrest and al ter the examination ot a lew witnesses ot the State, the accused waived commitment and gave bond for appearance at the next Superior Court. LoCrange Reporter.

A Funny Fix—A majority of the entire Board ol Aldermen ot Colmnnus instructed the Mayor to issue a proclamation for an election for the citizeus to vote on a certain question.— The Mayor reluses to do it Tne citizens asked also, to be allowed to voteon itiequestion. The request is unheeded. The election it seems can not be held. The question now is, who is to rule, or has the authority, ihe citizens and Coun cil combined or the Mayor. It was generally mooted yesterday on the s'i eels, and we give it as one of the items.— Columbus Sun. As the councilmen ol Atlanta are agitating the question ot pavements, the following, lrom the Savannah Morning Mews, will doubtless prove interesting: Council, at the last meeting, so far amended the resolution heretoiore adopted to pave Bay street between Bull and East Broad as to pro vide for a wooden pavement bei ween Whitaker and Drayton streets. There was wisdom in the change, and there is no donut that the whole question of Graywaefce will he seriously con- -idi red bv Council before ihe contemplated ira- p ovvment is begun. fne objection arising *o tbe stone pavf-ment is being considered in an economical point of view, and apart from the lad that the Giay- wacke has been abandoned in the chief cities of the North and West which would seem to dis pose ot the question. Other considerations ex ist, which should be seriously considered. There are in the State of Georgia inexhausti ble forests ot “pine,” and thousands of ready workmen, able aud willing to cut it up into blocks, which will make a tletter roadway than granite lrom the hills oi Massachusetts We trust that the Street and Lane Committee, who are charged with the execution ol this impor tant work, will place trie Gray waoke on East Broad street side, and that tbe Council, at its next meeting, will go still farther in so amend ing the original resolution as toseenraa wooden pavement from East to West Broad on Bay street. The cobble stones takea up can be use fully employed in making good pavements on j streets needing the same. A 11 bum aphrodite at the Station House. A suspicious negro character was taken up on the streets this morning by the police and taken to Ivy street station-house. The‘person was full grown, of good physique, with the voice of a woman, and having her ears ornamented with prize candy brilliants. He—no, she, {she always takes the precedence,) said that she had come some two weeks ago from Augusta and was working with a lady “ up-town.” The police, thinking her all the while to be a woman dressed in man’s clothes, questioned her as to tbe rea sons that induced her to put on the garments of a man, and wear such conspicuous ear-rings and talk “ so fine.” She replied that she was a her maphrodite and that Nature could not be ques tioned as to its creations. Of course such talk appeared “too thin” for tbe officers of tbe police, and a committee of one—an old negro granny— Lavmia Cobb by name—was appointed to “re connoitre the situation.” Escorted to a private apartment of tbe station, Lavinia made due ex amination ol “ the lai r demesnes,” aud reported, “Lord, massa, it’s a fact—it’s a fact; I’ve been there and seen—that ar woman ain’t telling no lie.” Satisfied with the investigations of tbe old lady, the officers of the police at once permitted the hermaphrodite to depart and go on Ler way rejoicing, much amused with the character of the incident and tbe manner of the solution of the interesting question. Atlanta’s Bid for Mercer !—Oh, these students! what lascinating fellows they are How they can talk love and poetry and moon shine! What mathematical geniuses they are How can they calculate in a twinkling! What exstacies they cau get in over the beauties of the Binomial Theorem aud the wonders of the sine and eeosiuein Spherical Trigonometry ! And then the chemistry they cau talk and the geolo gy they can know.. Stone mountain, Stone mouutain, its mensuration, bight, depth, width volume, its origin in the chaos of worlds—its geological epochs, the physical geography of its being, the physiology of its continents, the anatomy ot the globe-organism these—on the tongue ot a new-fledged Bachelor of Arts, is— we confess it for the ladies—irresistible. We only meant to say that the fair of Atlanta bids highest for Mercer. Governor’s Froclamations.—In our adver tising columns to-day, will be found several proclamations, by Govtrnor Bullock, offering rewards lor parties charged with crime.-, ami who have fled lrom justice. The first on the list is Benjamin Wail charged with the murder ol Charles Sherwood in Jasper county, on the 3d December, 1800, »o whose apprehension aud delivery a reward ot $200 is offered. 2nd. George Wbitely, charged with the mur der of Nancy E. Whitely, in Gwinnett county, in the momh of November, 1868, for wbo^e ap prehension and delivery a reward oi $200 offered. 3rd. Alexander H. Evans, charged with the murder ol Jesse Nunn, in Taliaferro county, on the 13th March, 1870, lor whose apprehension and delivery a reward of $200 is offered. 4th. For some unknown persous who recent ly, in the county of Jefferson, took an elderly white lady and an old colored man lrom their homes at night, and beat them in a most brutal and merciless manner. The ruffians were dis guised at the time.and from some cause the civil authorities in the immediate neighborhood where said outrage was committed, have failed to take any steps toward the airest of the per petrators thereof, for whose apprehension and delivery a reward of $500 is offered. 5th. Jack Tate, charged with the murder ot Jerry Bimmons.a person of color; and William McCullors and Wm. J. Carr, charged with the murder of Albert Dale, a person ot color, in the county ol Decatur, for whose apprehension and delivery a reward of $200 each is offered, each case, evidence sufficient to convict must be furnished by the parties apprehending. Here is a good chance lor detectives to make money, and we trust they will be active and vigilant in bringing the culprits to justice, so that con dign punishment may ba meted out. to the guilty parties. IT KIMS. Our young friends, Charley Davis and Thom as Millier left the city on Monday to spend few days in the romantic regions ol Tallula and Toccoa Falls. As romance and love go together, our young ladies had best prepare their hear) tor overtures ol matrimony.—Greensboro Herald, The disgusting practice of shootiDg dogs in the street is still kept up, and 45 canines were slaughtered iu that barbarous manner yesterday. That’s the way tbe dogs were killed twenty years ago, and ot course no other plan will work—just simply because it has not been tried A pound lias been proposed, but tbe residents ol the neighborhood where it was proposed to locate it, kicked up at the proposition and threatened a young insurrection, aiyl in the meantime the streets are strewn with dead and dying curs in the wake ot the slayers.— Consti- utionalist. Blackberries.—The crop is ripening fast We recommend those who have nothing better to do to go to picking. They are spleudid to “till up” on, besides will prove a source of rev enue to tbe industrious. They sell readily in market, are valuable tor wine, and if dried ran be made a profitable article ot commerce. Let all loafers “ tall in” line.—Enquirer. Says the Southern Banner: A very severe hail storm passed over a portiou of Jackson county on Thursday of last week. It extended over a belt of country about a mile wide, aud several miles in length. At the Salter place, now owned by Mr. Rivers, it was very severe, almost com pletely destroying bis crop. The cotton and wheat on a number of plantations was crushed into the earth, and the tanners are re-plan trag with corn. In some places the hail was larger than goose eggs, and destroyed the glass in houses. After the storm, masses of hail were iound washed in'o the fence corners, two feet in depth, and in sha !y places it did not melt for several days. Mr. Nichols, the mail carrier to Jenereon, inlorrus us that od Tuesday, four days after the storm, a wagon load of the hail was carried to Jt ff- r*»n, aud the whole place luxu riated in punch and ice cream, from “ native ’ ice. I See that Bet and Go a Hundred Thousand Better —The Knoxville papers, a day or two ago, aunonneed that John Baxter, late a member of the Constiturtimial tlonventiob, had instituted suit against Gedlral Joseph-A,- Mabry, who was also a member of the CouVeif- tioD, in the Circuit Court of Knox county, for libel, laying his damiges at $50,000. We have learned that Generai Mabry, in turn, has directed his aitorney to institute two suits against Baxter, at ouce—the one for slander and the other tor libel, laying his damages in each case at $75 000. Whether Baxter will “call” or raise the bet remains to be seeD. We fear we will have to insist upon the adoption ot the resolution of tbe honorable gentleman from Madison, it these complications go ranch further. “ Vat a peeples I vat a peeples!"—Nash. Banner. According to an arrangement with the G. R. R. Co., a train consi.-iiog ot four elegant coaches aud one box car, arrived ct the Madison depot, at the early hour ot 4 o'clock yesterday morn ing, for the purpose <>t carrying tbe large crowd that was there assembled, upon the usual annual exensrion up the road. We are intormed the party numbered not less than four hundred per sons, that a part ol them stopped at the Moun tain to spend tbe.day in social and sweet con verse, and to enjoy their well filled baskets, and contemplate the wonders as well as the beauties ol nature, while ity far tbe largest portion passed through to take a look at tbe wonderful Gaie City. We are glad to learn that they had a very pleasant visit that all enjoyed it muchly, and re turned salely home at 10 o’clock F. M., same day. —Southern Farm Journal. A satlor went into a shop in Milwaukee and purchased goods to tbe amount oi fifty cents. Throwing down a bill he said: “There’s a two dollar bill; give me tbe change.” A glance showed tbe storekeeper that the bill was a “V,” and hastily sweeping it into the drawer ire gave back the change. Alter Jack was gone the man went to the drawer and iound that the bill was I a “V,” to be sure, but a little the worst counter- i leit ever seen. The storekeeper went in search of the sailor, and threatened him with prosecu tion, but Jack proved by a comrade that he re ceived but a dollar and a half in change, so that he could not have given the man the bill. After a little talk the matter was allowed to drop by the storekeeper, who has probably learned some thing he did not know before. The Devil's Hour.—According to Voltaire there is an hour in every human being’s life w hich might be called tbe Devil’s. If it is pos sible that there is a historic moment upon which our future lor good or evil turns, when we are more easily led astray or into temptation than at any other time, there must be also an hoar when we are most susceptible of a good influ ence, which, if taken advantage of, leads ns out ot the thorny paths ot transgression. It rests entirely with each of us whether that period be- i comes the Devil’s or God’s hour. Marbisd, in Madison, on the 7th instant, by the Rev. C. if.. Irwin, the R«v. Da. W. T. Bkantlt, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church of this city, and Mbs. Mat- m Habsyok, daughter of Col. John B. W alter, of the former place. Atlanta, J line 9,1S70. The fobkooing announcement is one in which our city readers, as well as a widely ex tended acquaintance and large circles of tlie personal friends ot the .Reverend gentleman and his accomplished Bride, will take a deep interest, and offer, as we do, to them, the sincerest congratulations. “’Tisnot meet lor man to be alone,” nor was it that one whose labors as a Christian Minister in this community, are ot the most arduous and responsible nature, should be without that cheering influence which tbe Christian wife exercises always over the hus band. We embrace, therefore, tbe earliest oppor tunity we have of offering to Doctor and Mrs. B. our congratulations on the happy event ot their marriage, and, to the latter, extend a warm welcome to our city, in the social circles of which she is destined to exercise a charming and Christian influence. The wedded couple, we learn, reached tbe re sidence ot Dr. B, in this city, on Tuesday evening last. Proceedings of the City Council.—Judge Ezzard in the chair.

T, Langford, aims house 45 00 I Another Printer Gone.—Mr. C. W. Eeds died in this city at half-past three o’clock this morning, after a long and distressing illness. He was seized by that inexorable destroyer of our race, consumption, and in defiance of medi cal skill and Ibe kind attention of friends, he fell a victim to the resistless power uf histearfnl disease. He was a native of Georgia, in tbe prime of life, being in tbe 24th year ol his age. During the late war he enlisted under the ban- ner of tbe 8oulhern Army, and served faithfully as a soldietof the lost cause, until he waB com pelled by tailing health to return lrom the tented field and seek the retirement ot private life. He took the position of compositor iu the Intelli gbncer Office, bnt his health was so feeble be could not do much at the case, but exerted himself to the utmost of his ability to earn the means of support for himsetl and family. By the urgent persuasions of his typographical friends, he was induced, reluctantly, to abandon the idea of laboring in his profession. The Ty pographical Union ot the city have nobly dis charged their duties aud stuctly fulfilled their fraternal obligations to him, rad his wants were lully supplied by them, as fav as human agency could supply them. The pait which this frater- uity has acted towards this unfortunate brother is another strikiug illustration of the great utility of this and similar institutions, and the Atlanta brotherhood has proven that they are in heart aud soul inspired with a livelinessof their duties and obligations towards one another, lor which they are deserving of all praise. Mr. Beds was a young man ot fine moral char acter—industrious, sober, peaceful and kind- hearted, and won upon the esteem and good will of all who knew him. He leaves Lemuel aim an affectionate and dis consolate wife, to mourn his irreparable loss.— She will no doubt have the sympathies of his surviving friends and brethren, who will use their best efforts to pour the healing balm of consolation into her broken heart. We sincere ly condole with her in her sad bereavement, and point her to the fountain ot consolation which flows down from the throue of God, to cheer aud revive his afflicted creatures. To his brother printers, we would only suggest the propriety ot seriously pondering over nis untimely end, and endeavor to be ready, wheu the summons ot death shall come to lay their arm down, in peace with God aud all maukind, and fearlessly enter npou that future untried state ot existence which awaits us all. Tim luneral services of Mr. Eeds will take place at the residence ol Mrs. Kile, on Calhoun street, to morrow evening at 4f o’clock. Political Uncertainty an«l Perplexity. 'the Louisville Courier Journal has a proper conception of the uncertainty aud perplexity that prevail now in all political circles, as well as with the press North and South. Iu the fol lowing extract from au article of that paper, there is more of truth thau the extremists of both political parties in the country are willing to admit—save, perhaps, the New York Tribune, whose editor, not long ago, said this was “his ofl year ia politics.” “ Perhaps,” says our Lou isville cotemporary, “ there was never a period in the history ot this country, certainly not in the memory of men now living, when the po litical situation was overspread by such an im penetrable haze of uncertainty, or when the political elements visible to the eye lay about in such scattered and apparently inextricable con fusion. We find Republican leaders urging old lashioned Democratic theories. We see Demo cratic politicians committing themselves to doc trines which, to say the least of them, are ted- eralistic. On all sides there is a laxity of parti- zan exaction. The Republicans are at outs with the Radicals. The Young Democracy are at outs with the Bourbons. Mr. Chase is claimed by two or three parties, and no party seems to be able to satisfy itself. All sorts of bids are being made for the Presidency, and no matter how opposite to each other, all appear to have an equal chance, but no one rising above an other. Tbe spectacle is curious, indeed. Who wifi first succeed in divining its meaning ?” Evidently such is the political situation now of th« country, and the press has done more to bring it about than the people; and yet the press, save with a few exceptions, have an ex cuse in the fact that Congress in Us usurpations ot power and in its oppressive enactments—even aside from those referring to reconstruction—has alarmed as well Republicans as Democrats, and excited tears as to the stability of the govern ment, the safety of the personal liberty and property of the citizen. Now, this should not be the case. The people, when aroused, will ever be able to protect themselves, and this they will do through that never-lailing resource, the ballot box. The uncertainty and perplexity , that prevail are chiefly among the politicians and President makers. The presidential suc cession too begins to be actively canvassed at Washington, and this, with what we have al ready referred to, ts the cause of tlie “ political situation," for the meaning ot which our Louis ville cotemporary seems to be at a loss. The Naturalization Treaty. The treaty recently made between this gov ernment aud Great Britain, which has been pub lished in some ot the Northern papers at leDgth, is of great importance and significance, concern ing tbe doctrine which England has heretoiore stoutly maintained, that “ once a subject always a subject,” and which in the treaty she now re nounces. This, after so many years of dispute, Rnd ot oppression and injustice done to citizens of the United States ot foreign birth, may be considered as a great victory obtained in tbe cause of liberty by this government, to which England, we are pleased to see, submits without any apparent reluctance. And tnu3 we see American ideas progress over those even ot Great Britain on a question regarding the right ot its subjects to expatriate themselves. $2,635 63 After the reading of the report, the Council adjourned. The students ol Mercer University were entertained last night at the residence of Mr. Sharp. Notwithstanding the inclemency ot the weather, we presume Ihe attendance ol ladies and gentlemen was large, for who ever saw a party in honor of University students thinly at tended. Students are not bashful naturally, and of course the party went off in fine style.— Love and flirtation were talked about, vows made, confessions uttered, proposals laughed at, and Ihe laugh returned. “ She hears but one sound, silent. long, A whisper soft and low — The echo of the false, sweet song, He sang so long ago.” The New Baptist Church —We understand that the new home of worship, built by the lib erality of our townsman, John H. James, Esq., will be dedicated this afternoon, at 4 o’clock. Dr. W. T. Brautly preaching and conducting ivine worship on tbe occasion. Tbe chuich is ou Whitehall street, about a mile and a quailer from tbe depot. Dancing School.—We took a peen iu at the in,.. ..i terpsichore >« stfrrkv The master h d a number ot nis pupils on ihe fl or, striving to l- uru tbe gracelul movement of the waltz and redowa. We are not acquainted with the Pro lessor ourself, and cannot speak of him person ally. We can say, however, that the art he teaches ought to be learned by every young lady whose parenlsdntend to lead a fashionable life in society, or who would delight in the personal accomplishments of their son3 and daughters.— it is to be hoped that the Professor, if hie is wor thy of the patronage of the people, will enter tain the city at some future time with an eve ning soiree. Our nights are cool, and will be pleasant for the plain figures of the art. Vive and Virtue-Oriental Percentage, Tbe Charleston Courier tells its readers that the people ot Hindostan used to make three fold division ot interest on money. One they called vice, another neither vice nor virtue, and the third virtue. The interest which was vice was four per cent, per month; that which was neither vice nor virtue was two per cent., and that which was virtue was one per cent, a month. This last was, in their opinion, an act ot beneficence which belonged to the noblest minds. If this were our standard, what a large number of self-sacrificing gentlemen we would have among our money-lenders ! For the very large majority of them are perfectly willing to assume Ihe exalted virtue of the Hindostanees, il it would pay one per cent, a month.” We presume those orientals never beard of five and ten per cent, per month money-lenders. What terms in thoir vacabulary they would ap ply to such, we would like to know ? Fatalism of the Turks. The recent fire at Constantinople, which will probably rank in history next to the great fire in London, illustrates most painfully the fatal ism of the followers of Mahomet. The calmness with which the Turks met their impending destruction, and their refusal in many cases to avail themselves of any chance to escape, is wonderful instances ot the creed of their Prophet. The fire itself probably originated in some such exercise of stoical indifference con cerning the relation het-.veen causa and effect, but we are quite sure that the Turks are no w rer on Ihe subject now Mein they Acre before. Not to be Detected.—The hues imparted to gray heads by Phalon’s Vitaiia, or Salvation lor the hair, are as vivid as those ol nature, and the change is not effected by a disregard of cleanliness, as is the case with tbe other hair coloring preparations, the Vitaiia being emi nently clean.

Uodertbe foregoing heading, the New York Herald closes an article of a column’s length with the following laudatory notice ot the road it is traveling: “ We live in a new age of journalism and of public opinion. The age of a dictatorial party press went out with the old stagecoach; the age of the independent press was inaugurated here with the steamship and Ihe railroad, and throughout the world with tin electric telegraph. Its triumphs, however, have only fairly begun ; for tbe complete emancipation ot newspapers and men from the slavery of party in the New World aud the Old is t||e manifest mission ot the indep-ndent press And this is the road wc are traveling.” Fob several days past the Montgomery Ad vertiser has failed to reach this office.
