Lumpkin Is located on the summit of a hill almost perfectly level—the land undulatlug Just enough to carry ofT all tho water of heavy ralnfalls ln tho most fertile section of Stewart coun ty. It Is well laid oil, and hag many hand some residences, with the prettiest and best cared for front yards of any small town 1 havo visited. Tho inhabitants num ber about eight hundred, engaged In va rious branches of business, many being planters. Business has decreased consid erably In tho past four or live years, leav ing several of tho store-houses vacant, but parties occupying the others seem to be doing very well. The court, which Is now In session, has drawn quite a number of people, giving tho town a much more attractive appear ance than usual. Judge Kiddoo to-day finished those cases of which Judge Crawford had boon of counsel and loft for home. After din ner Judgo Crawford recelvod the general presentments of the Grand Jury, a copy of which I hand you with this. Judge Crawford will resume tho regular course of business Monday, and tho criminal docket will probably bo reached Tuesday, and tho court adjourn aboutfFrlday night. Tho Columbus bar has been represented this week by Hon. 11. J. Moses, John Pen body, D. H. Burts, J. M. Russell, YV. A. Little and Roland Russell, Esqs. Tho members of the bar in this soctlon were agreeably surprised at the correct ness and rnpidltv with which Mr. G. Y. Tigner, tho court reporter, takes the evi dence as It falls from the lips of witnesses, which reduces tho time of tho court em ployed on general business more than one half. On our way hero wo stopped at the plantation of our friend and former fol low townsman. John Cheney, who, It will be remembered by many of our readers, sold his Interest In the drug store of J. L. Cheney A Son, last winter to go farming After going over his plantation and soo- Ing the result of his first year’s labors. I can but feel that[as a farmer.JohnTs a suc cess. His crib Is full of corn, more than enough to run the same force another year; his barn with oats, and in his gin house ton bales of cotton; now eating out his pea fields are as pretty a lot of hogs as one would wish to see—most of them small because young, though he tells mo ho will kill eight or ten anyway, and is confident that another year ho will bo able to salt down enough bacon to ration his hands. His mules are sleek and fat and show care. Wo commond John as an example to the all cotton farmers. During my stay in Lumpkin I have found the people of Stewart county peas ant and hospitable, and extremely partial to tho Times, which they ovldencod by enrolling their nnmes on Its subscription list. To Bob Harrison|of tho Independent, andj Mr. H. G. Reagan, I am specially indebted for courtesies. TRIBUTE OF PHYSICIAN* OF CO LUMBIA, On llie Iliatli of Or. John A. I rqnlinrl. At a meeting of the physicians of Colum bus, Dr. Bacon was called to the chair, and Dr. W. W. Flewollen requested to act as secretary. Whereupon Dr. E. F. CJol 20y arose and offered the following pre amble and resolution, which was adopted. Whereas, it has pleased tho wisdom, justicoond mercy of our Heavenly Father to summon from amidst us, our esteemed professional brother and follow citizen, Dr, John A. Erquhart. Therefore, be it Resolved, That while we recognize the constantly pervading justioo of all tho Master's do eroes, we humbly desire to record the sad ness of our thoughts, and bear witness to tho virtues, as well as place upon record a tribute of respoct to the memory of our departed friend. Resolved, Tiiat in this painful event we are callod upon to part with a man up right in action, temperate in council, gen tle in deportment, and exhibiting all tho Christian attributes in an earnestness of manner challenging tho admiration of his associates and ranking Idm amongst tlioso who "loved Ida fellow-men.'' Resolved, That as cxpresslvo of our es teem for tho deceased, and our sympathy for his family and friends, a copy of theso resolutions bo furnished to the family and published by the press. After the adoption of tho above, the meeting adjourned. Db. Jno. E. Bacon, Chairman. Dr. W. YV. Flewellen, Secretary. Chinese Nquulor In Nan Francisco. Individually, John Chinaman la a clean human; collectively, ho Is a beast. Ah Btue, tho cook, keeps the coppers and pans clean and bright, washes his hands In going from dish to dish, is orderly, fresh In appearance, and ever arrayed in spotless white and blue. Follow him home, and you will find this cleanly unit become [one and of a herd of animals liv ing in a state of squalor and filth, at which even a Digger Indian would shudder. Fifteen Chinamen will live, sleep and cook In a hovel or cellar twelve feet square, having only a door as a means of admit ting light and air. Clouds of rancid smoke issuo from tho common chimney, window, and door, through which John and hts fellows may dimly bo seen erawliug, cook ing, smoking and sleeping, for when Coo Leo has nothing to do ho generally crawls into his hole to sleep or smoke. The larger companies' boarding houses are no better. Every story is refloored, and made into two, and often three, the standard height of a room being a trifle over or under live feot. Clean at first, the building soon becomes grimy, and then black, and then dirt-encrusted from gar ret to roof. Once occupied by Chinese, a building must always remain a pest hole or bo torn down. Under tho sidewalks, under staircases, in cramped bunks, and and on rickety platforms John lives, and It Is reported thrives. It Is only to the adventurous and strong-stomached that a fair picture of Chineselife is presented in all its foulness. When a lire burns out a hole, and lays open a section In this vile quarter, then it is that groups of the curious gather round and try to believe that they live within a block of these rookeries and slums where there Is no difference between tho blackness of charred beams and that of the sleeping holes. Of course there are cleanly excep tions—the restaurants, and some of the rich merchants' stores, for Instance; but there is no danger of darkening the pic ture overmuch; and Chinatown, lying In the heart of San Francisco, is a miracle of human unclcanlincss, and a wonder of flit h- San Franciscans have much cause to be thankful for tho long season of purging trade winds.--TAomos Vivian, in Scribner for October. or. John Augustus Krquhart. was born In Augusta,Ga. Oct. 1804, and died In Columbus, Ga., Oct. 29th 1876, having completed his 72d year. He moved to this city In 1833, and organ ized tho Columbus Guards; was elected first Captain of this Oompnay and led them in the battles of the Creek war of 1836. Formerly he was wealthy, with an ex tensive practice In hla profession. Always a polished gentleman, polite, cultivated, dlgnlfiod, without austerity, affable, with out familiarity. He joined the Methodist Church in 1837. For many years he was an official mem ber of Bt. Luko Church. At the time of his death he was chairman of tho Board of Stewards, and chairman of the Board of Trustees. He died in the triumphs of Christian faith, expressing to his pastor and to his friends a satisfactory assurance of his ac ceptance with God, and a firm reliance upon tho mercy and the merits of his Bavluor. He leaves the legacy of a good name, and the example of a noble life to Illustrate the principles that he professed. Tho funeral sermon was preached by Rev. R. J. Corley, at St. Luko Church, la the presence of an Immense concourse that thronged the church and the galle ries. A delegation of tho Board of Stewards of St. Luke Church, consisting of the fol lowing gentlemen, acted as pall-bearers: J. A. Bradford, A. M. Brannon, J. A. Fra zer, W. It. Wood, G. J. Peacock, J. S. Jones, 8. B. Hatcher, and F. A. Jopson. His remains wore escorted by tho Co lumbus Guards, under command of Capt, W. 8. Shepherd, and by the Masonic Fra ternity of the city. Hon. F. M. Brooks, W. M. of Mount Harmon Lodge, read the Masonic service at tho grave. United mates Soldiers for Girard. Yesterday morning a detachment of United States troops arrived m Girard from Huntsville, Alabama. The detach ment numbers ten men, under oommand of Lieut. Goo. Bacon. They reached here yesterday morning via the Mobile A Gi rard Railroad, and went into camp on tho church hill, overlooking Girard. They belong to the 16th United States Infantry. We had the pleasure of meeting Lieut. Bacon and found him an agreeable gentle man. He informed us that the only or ders ho had received were from tho Gulf Department at New Orleans, ordering him to remain at Girard until after tho Presidential election. Ho was recently located at HuntsvlUle, Ala., previously in Kentucky. Further than to remain here until after the eloetlon, he has no other orders. Ho says the detachment was sent to Girard at the request of the United States Marshal. We take Lieut. Bacon and his squad to be soldiers, and not oppressive, and like truo soldiers, they will obey orders, and go no furthor. We hope their visit among us will be ploasant. We know their services as conservatory of the peace will not bo required, for wo are a law abiding people, but a unit for Tllden. That Terrible Cigar. The Scientific American lias a somewhat exhaustive article touching wliat it terms “a tightly rolled packet having brittle fragments of dry loaves within and a smooth, silky leaf for Its outer wrapper.” A pretty picture of what haa been and will be the inspiration of poets, aud most men of brains and education who require a stlmulent and prefer it to whiskey. After giving a most formidable list of the terrible gases evolved from the loaf, the smoko and the ashes of a cigar, tho editor adds: “And yet, despite all that science can say tho habit is Increasing. Two centu ries ago the Turks regarded smoking as a religious offense, and paraded a smoker through the streets at Constantinople with his pipe stuck through ills noso as a warning to others. YVho can disconnect the Turk now from tho ideas of chibouque or narflilety, or fragrant Lataika? Look at tho best cigar wrappers tho world can produce, raised on tobacco fields In the heart of New England, whore the puritan fathers once visited tho direst of blue law vengeance on th wretch who pro faned his Maker’s handiwork by “making a chimney of his nostrils.” Tho value of our tobacco crop last yoar reached near ly $30,000,000.

We herewith enclose the report or a cer tain sowing machine company, which was published In the Dubuque (Iowa) Herald, of October 4,1876, In which it Is also stated that they received two medals, and “that a claim of any other company to so dis tinguished an honor Is only an attempt to hoodwink the public.’’ As representing the largest single sewing machine interest In the world, we respectfully ask if this announcement on the part of one of our competitors is official.

The Na tional Democratic Party will this year make a hold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those principles which are vital to thw prosperity of the Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the people in Georgia and Florida will elect neYv State governments. In Florida the campaign promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first time since the war the people of that Radi cal-ridden State will elect a Democratic Btate Government. In these cam paigns the people of the Bouth are deeply inter ested; and everv intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his country and his section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform that is now going on. _ . , Te this end he should subscribe to and assist in circulating the Savannah HorninSiVswi, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro nounced opinions and fearless in their expres sion ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best d*ily in the South. Its editorial de partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida aflairs is not confined to a mere barren summary of events transpiring in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely, and racy.
