'WORK OF AM IMC'FM
DIAKY!
Conyers, Ga, teeptember 15—Our
town is iu a high state of exeitetnent
over the incendiary work of 'Join
Marston, who was captured last night
by a po6se ot men. On last Friday
night be invaded the cemetery, broke
the tomb stones and ovei turned monu
ments sacred to the dead, and raided
u dwelling occupied by negroes. On
Saturday night he says he crawled uu
the Methodist church and burned it.
The tire alarm was sounded about
nine o’clock, Marston helped about
the lire with as much zeal apparently
i*s any oi out pllueas v\ ilu baiv with
sarrow the beautiful edifice burn to the
ground. Last night he again started
his devilish incendiary work. About
nine o’clock he set fire to a number of
dwelling houses, the tlames being for
tunately checked before they tonld gain
headway. Jn the act of sotting fire to
a fence he was captnied.
A volley of bullets were fired at him
by the posse, several taking effect.
He was captnied shortly after 9 o’clock
last night, and a heavy guard was
placed over him for the night. He is
Kciionslv wounded, and it is doubtful
whether he will recover. It is thought
that the terrible work is the result of
the secret plot of a clan, which may be
possibly exposad yet. —Journal.
O'lier facts have developed, corrob
orative also, that Marston was entirely
insane. He was a member of the
Church and Sunday school at the place

GEN. LEE TO HIS SON.
Wo make no apology lor printing
the following letter, in spite of its age.
It is a noble pap»>r that every father
and every son should read with benefit
It was written by General Lee to his
son, as the date will show in 1852:
-Ex.
Arlington Heights. April 4, 1852:
—My dear soir lam just in the act
of leaving lioine for New Mexico. My
fine old regiment has been ordered to
that distant region, and I must hasten
to see that they are properly taken care
of. 1 have but little to add in reply
to your letters of March 20, 27 and 28
A our letters breathed a true spirit of
frankness; they have already given
myself anil your mother great pleasure.
Yon must study to he frank with the
world; frankness is the child of hones
ty and courage. Say what you mean
to do on every occasion and take for
gianted von mean to do right. If a
friend asks a favor von should grant
it if it is reasonable; il not tell him
plainly why yon cannot; yon will
wrong liim and yourself hy equivoca
tions of any kind. Never do a wrong
thing to make a friend or to keep one
the man who requires you to do so is
dearly purchased at a sacrifice. Deal
kindly but firmly with all your class
mates; you will find it the policy which
wears best. Above all, do not appear
to others what you are not. If yon
have any fault to find with anyone, tell
him, not others of what yon complain:
there is no more dangerous experiment
than that of undertaking to he one
thing l>efore a man’s face and another
behind his hack. We should live, act
and say nothing to the injury of any
one. It is not onlv best as a matter
of principle, hut it i« the path to peace
and honor.
In regard to duty, let me, in conclu
sion of this short letter, inform yon
that nearly a hundred years ago there
was a day of lemarkahle gloom and
darkness—still known as the dark day
—a day when the light of the sun was
slowly extinguished as if l»y eclipse
The legislature of Connecticut was in
session, and as the members saw the
unexpected and unaccountable dark
ness coming on they shared in the gen
eral awe and terror. It was supposed
that the last day—the day of judgment
-—had come. Someone fn the conster
nation of the bout moved an adjourn
ment. Then there arose an old puri
an legislator, Davenport, ot Stamford
who said that if the day had come he
desired to he at his place doing iiis du
ty, and moved that candles be brought
in so that the house could proceed with
its duty. There was quietness in . the
man’s mind—quietness of heavenly
wisdom—an inflexible willingness to
obey present duty. Duty, tlfcn »'s the
sublimest word in our you
cannot do more; you should never wish
to d:> less. Never let me and your
mother wear oneg.iay hair on your ac
count.
Your affectionate father,
R. E. Lkd.

Gen. Toonil)’* Tribute to
Bishop Pierre.
[Washington Gazette]
By request of the Pastor Gen.
Toombs lose in his pew and said that
lie had neither the heart or the
strength to sav much, but that he
would mention one or two things con
cerning tlie lile of his deceased friend.
That the intimate friendship which
began in boyhood between Georg*
Bicice aijtl Luiibclf had lasted through
life. That though they followed dif
ferent pursuits, they wore never led
apart from each other. '1 hat those
tender ties bound not only themselves
but their families together. Alluding
to bis beloved friend said; “He lias
been with ns under various citcom
£ tan cos; he has been wiih us to the
grave.” And here the great heart of
Robert Toombs burst with its grief
and he who has withstood the giants
of his day, was weeping like a child.
And many were the tears that were
mingled with his in his sorrow. A
gain he said: “He heard the call and
answeied, Lord here am I. ‘Follow
me,” and he followed his Master all
the davs of his life. This was the
life of George Pierce The speaker
said tlint the Bishop’s heart went out
to all his fellow creatures, that while
he hated sin he loved all sinners. Gen.
Toombs remarks did not extend over
six or eight minutes.
Mr. Editor:— r Owen Merideth ask
ed once in a gush of poetic fervor:
“What is so rare as a day in June?*’
But if lie had been with the writer. C.
0. Hale of Rising Fawn, and Jesse R.
Guinn of Valley Head Ala., as our
train on the N. <fe C. pulled out for
Boliver, Ala., I am sure he would
have been w illing to admit that Sep
tember could furnish rs rare a day as
ever June gave to gladen the earth
with its glory. It was simply a per
fect day—just suitable for wedding
hells.
The object of our trip was to witness
the nuptials of Mr. Jesse B. Guinn to
Miss Emma M. Braswell of Jackson
county, Ala. The happy couple were
married at 4 o’ clock on Thursday
evening, September tlie 18th inst. at
the residence of the bride’s father, Mr.
C. Braswell, hy W. O. Glover, Esq.

CIiOYERDbE.
Aunt Pollie: —Duty calls to me
in all directions this morning, but I
snatch a moment to answer your very
interesting letter. Understand me I do
unt contend foi Hus point. A. J. T..
asked the question “Wliat Bible evi
deuce of a pre-adamite race?” I refer
red her to Cain’s speculations in the
land of Nod. The Bible gives no ac
count of the twin sisters of Cain and
Abel spoken of in the Rabbinical wri
tings. In the 4*h chapter of Gen. we
have an account of Cain and Abel’s
birth, trade Ac, and of Cain being cur
sed of the land and cast out of his go
ing over into Nod and building the
city of Enoch. After which we have
an acSoud? of the Birth of Seth that
was given in honor of Abel and Enns.
In the sth chapter, 4th verse it said
the days of Adam after he begat Seth
were 800 years and he begat sons and
daughters. So far as the Bible is con
cerned I can sec that there X/as not a
woman living except Eve when Coin
went over into Nod; however I beb jve
the world was peopled from this inly
creation. That there is mystery deep
ami impenetrable over all God’s work
we are all truly sensible. The veil to
be lifted from mortal vision would be
too overpowering. But this much we
acknowledge tnat man is utterly de
pressed and lost, but the crowning
glory of all thoroughly redeemed, and
every insight we get into the wonder
ful plan makes it still more wonderful
With this we should he thoroughly
content, knowing that in his own good
time “God will reveal his secrets to
his servants.” •
You ask me to write a longer letter
and Mr. Havron says do not write un
less you have something to tell. Which
voice shall 1 hearken to? One news
item; Cloverdale baptist church is
nearing completion and it is an inten
tion to have a series of meetings to
commence on Saturday before the
fourth Sunday in the month, we are
hioking forward to it with much hope,
in fact I imagine are feel much as did
the children that returned from the
captivity, and rebuilt the temple, and
can fully understand old Simeon when
he announced himself ready to depart.
There is nothing in our building that
would inspire the beholder either with
awe or reverence, hut it is a rallying
point for our church and we tins 1 , to
make it a stronghold against the in
roads ot Satan in our mountain home.
We also have a fine Sabbath school at
Mf, Zion church. Mute borne other
time.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[■Regular Correspondent of the TixkS.]
w amiinoton, September, 19.
From all quarters the news conics
most cheering of brightening prospects
and of an inteiest in the campaign
that most certainly assures'"victory" in
November. The Republican game .of
brag lias given place to wink of des
peration, as.they see the power and
control of the government about to slip
from their fingers, and on all sides they
arc vigorously punching up the luke
warm—and wanning up the cold. All
efforts seem to he unavailing to extort
from the department employees “vol
nntaiy contributions” to the defense
fund, and Father Clapp and General
Ran in are just making their rooms blue
with the emphatic expressions which
tliev hurl at the heads of the impas
sive desks who draw their pay regu
larly on the 15ih and last days of each
month and quietly put it in t heir pock -
ets.
News at headquarters, especially
from West Virginia, Ohio, ami the
Northwest, is of the most encouraging
character, and Democrats aie taking
heart and feel that victory, final and
complete will be assured in November.
You need not be surprised to learn that
many states of the Northwest that have
been considered as hopelessly Ropublr
can are now in the doubtful list, and
the prospects more than fair for their
being numbered among the Democrat
ic States on t*lie counting of the fall
returns. Information the most relia
ble is to the effect that thousands of
Germans in W isconsin, Michigan lowa
Kansas Nebiaska ami Illinois who
have heretofore voted with the Repub
licans, will now vote with the Demo
crats, the prohibition question forcing
them from their old affiliations, and
compelling them to act with that par
ty which opposes all sutnptuasy legis*
lation.
From New York the managers of the
New Oileans Exposition report that
the applications for space aie coming
in so rapidly that it is doubtful wheth
er the buildings, the largest ever before
erected for a world’s Exposition, will
accommodate al> the applicants. It
is now certain that the display will be
the finest and most varied, covering
more industries than was ever aggie
gated in one place; not only so but the
display of curiosities will far surpass
those at the centenial at Philadelphia
in 1876. The success of this exposi
tion has been phenomenal. From
what was originally' intended as a
mere cotton exposition, it has grown to
he an exhibiton of the world’s indus
tries, together with its ar:s, sciences
and great natural and artificial curios
ities. The people of all civilixed conn
tries secin to he conspiring to make it
the Exposition of the century.
TO THE VOTERS OF DADE
COUNTY.
I desire to explain tojyon the motive
that controlled my vote on a hill to
authorize counties to impose a tax for
county purposes on railroads running
through them. For more than thirty
years \\ alker county has been making
strenuous effoitsto secure the construc
tion of a railroad; but they have all
failed. While the bill in question was
pending in the House, gentlemen were
in Atlanta endeavoring to, secure one
of the Charters already granted, for the
purpose of building us a road; but
.they desired to secure as much stock
as possible iu the counties of Walker
and Chatooga. You all know the
law as it is at present taxes all shares
or stocks in railroads; and if I voted
for a Bill to tax the roads for State
and county purposes, that this double
taxtng would prevent our people from
taking stocks, and consequently de
feat the building of the road. The
motives which induced that vote, have
passed away, with the possibilities of
the road: and if you should see proper
to cast your vate for me, I promice
you to rise my influence to secure the
passage ot the Bill to tax railroads by
counties as all other property is taxed.
If electes to the senate, I shall endeav
or to represent to the best of my abili
ties the people of tlie whole District.
Kail-road stocks are personal prop
erty ami go with tlie owner, therefore
let ns tepcal the law taxing stocks, and
tax the (real) property.
Yours truly,
J. \. Wood.
