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 Ho declared that lie was doing the work and command of God. Ho had stood well before the people. 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. To G. W. Curtis Lee. 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. T. J. W. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 20. 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. Mbs. T. 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.
