Railroad Encouragement to Immi
gration.—At a convention of the repre
sentatives of Southern railroads in Atlanta,
in January last, a schedule of reduced ex
cursion rates was adopted, as an encour
agement to induce immigration to the
broad fields and fertile lands of the South.
Despite the numerous difficulties encoun
tered in the inauguration of this arrange
ment, the results attained have proved
highly beneficial to the Southern States,
in drawing thither both labor and capital,
which, in the development of the latent re
sources of our section, must contribute
largely to swell the grand aggregate of
production upon which rests the material
prosperity and advancement of every phase
of business at the South. Gratifying as
may have been this liberal action on the
part of our Southern roads, in flu; advan
tages which it secured to common prosperi
ty and the improvement of the vast agri
cultural, mining and manufacturing re
sources of our section, its success should
by no means lie accepted as a release from
further efforts in that direction. On the
contrary, it should serve to encourage our
railroads to continue the exercise of their
liberality, assured, as they may well be,
that in process of a very few years, they
will receive, from 1 lie largely increased
travel and freighting business along and
over their several* lines a handsome and
remunerating per ceutagc on the reduction
of rates which they are called upon to
make, in order to give impetus to the tide
of immigration already flowing in this
direction.
Superintendent Hnlbert, of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, and Chairman of
the Standing Committee appointed at the
January Convention in Atlanta, lias recent
ly issued a circular, recommending an ex
tension of flu* time to which reduced rates
was limited by that convention. We make
the following extract:
“The correspondence of the Chairman of
the Standing Committee, (in connection
with this movement,) which embraces the
Northern States from Maine to Nebraska,
and the Dominion of Canada— together with
■interesting interviews with numerous capital
ists, miners, manufacturers and others, dur
ing his recent extended travels in the
Northern States on business connected
with the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
satisfies him, most conclusively, that very
large numbers (amounting to thousands)
are desirous, ev. u anxious, to visit the
South, with a vie.k > to permanent investment
and settlement, but who, up to this time,
have been unable to do so, and cannot do
so by the Ist of July; but who ran and will
come the ensuing Fall and Winter, if the
time is extended.
“ In view of this existing and increasing
anxiety—occasioned by what has been done
—and the conyictiou impressed on the pub
lic mind that the railway companies of the
South, controlling ten thousand miles of road,
and nearly three hundred millions of dollars
of capital, can, if they will, materially aid in
adding-sto the population, and in developing
the resources of the South, while actually in
creasing their own receipts —it has been sug
gested that the issuance of the excursion
certificates be extended to July Ist, 1870.
1 am gratified to state that tiie follow
ing railways have already given their
consent -to the extension, namely—the
South Carolina, the Georgia, the Macon and
Western, the Western and Atlantic, the
Memphis and Charleston, the Nashville
and Chattanooga, and the Nashville and
Northwestern.”
It is desired t hat such other of the South
ern railroads ns concur in this proposed
extension of time, should make it manifest
at once by communication to Col. Hnlbert.
How to Revive Drowned Persons
As the bathing season lias now begun, and
accidents by drowning are likely to some
times happen, we reprint from a high scien
tific authority the following directions for
the resuscitation of persons, rescued from
drowning before life is wholly extinct.—
They may possibly prove useful in saving
valuable lives, and should be preserved or
remembered:
1. Lay the drowned man at once flat on
liis stomach, With his face to the ground,
and a folded coat or bundle under his chest.
'2. Place your hands flat between his
shoulder-blades and make firm pressure, so
as to squeeze the air out of his client; theu
turn the body slowly on to one side and a
little beyond. Replace him quickly on his
face. Count four, to mark four seconds of
time, and then repeat the process, com
mencing by squeezing the air out of the
chest again.
3. Wet clothes should be removed and
dry ones substituted, each bystander con
tributing. The body to be' rubbed dry
briskly, and the face kept from contact
with the ground.
4 Do not squeeze the air out of the pa
tient’s chest if he is breathing; but wait
and watch, merely drying the body and
changing the clothing.
The Right to Examine Books.—Super
visor Perry, of the District of North and
South Carolina, informs Commissioner De
lano that a case involving the right, of In
ternal Revenue officials to examine the
books of shipment of merchandise subject
to Internal Revenue tax, which he was in
strumental in bringing before the court at
Raleigh, N. C., had recently been decided
in favor of the Supervisor in every particu
lar. The case grew out of the seizure by
the Supervisor of the books of the North
Carolina Railroad Company for the pur
pose of obtaining information concerning
shipments of tobacco, whisky, stills, and
other merchandise, which seizure was re
sisted by the freight agent of the company,
whereupon the Supervisor procured an at
tachment. Chief Justice Chase was pres
ent at the trial of the freight agent for con
tempt in having refused to obey a sum
mons to appear with the books of the com
pany at the Supervisor’s office, although he
did not exercise jurisdiction in the case.
Execution of a Negro Murderer.—
At Darlington, S. C., on Friday last, Cyrus
Coachman, a negro, convicted of the mur
der of a merchant, Robert P. Suggs, near
Florence, ou the 10th of January last, suf
fered the extreme penalty of the law. This
criminal confidently anticipated that lie
would lie rescued by his brethren of the
Union League, saying, early iu the morn
ing, “I do not think I’ll be hung, as I be
long to a league, the members of which are
sworn to protect each other, and I do not
believe they will let me be hung.” There
was great excitement among the negroes
of the neighborhood, and fears were enter
tained that an effort would bo made by
them to rescue the prisoner, but no inter
ference was attempted. The sheriff' and
most of the officials who acted on the oc
casion were negroes. The criminal was
attended to the gallows by a guard of sev
enty men, all armed with guns and pistols,
thirty of whom were negroes. In his la3t
speech the criminal denied committing the
murder, and expressed hopes of a better
world.
A New Notion about Piano Plating.
The Louisville Courier-Journal takes up the
cudgel vigorously against the prevailing
idea that only girls and women should
play on the piano. It says:
“It is singularly unfitted for them. No
woman lias the strength, and after mar
riage few women have the time, to do the
piano justice. It is an instrument which
requires the nervous strength and energy
of a man, and which cannot be neglected
at all. It is suited in every way to mas
culine use, and is in many ways unsuited
to the use of ladies. It is not graceful in
itself or the means of gracefulness in them.
But its very unwieldyness is an argument
in favor of it3 adaptation to boys. They
cannot carry it about with them. It does
not lead them among low people. It is
par excellence the instrument of wealth and
refinement, attracting lads to the company
of ladies and gentlemen, making them fa
vorites of the better class of society, and
keeping them at home. It is only effemi
nate because we have been in the habit of
seeing it used for the most part by women.
In Europe, however, every cultivated gen
tleman has some proficiency as a pianist,
and many of the great statesmen —Bis-
marck, Disraeli and Louis Napoleon—are
performers.”
Superior Court. —This court closed its
sittings for the first week of the term yes
terday, at about 13 o'clock. The grand
jury made their presentments, which will
be found in. another column. The juries in
attendance for the past week were dis
charged, and court adjourned to Monday
morning. After the adjudication of one or
two civil causes on Monday, the Criminal
Docket will lie taken up. The grand jury
brought in the following additional true
bills yesterday:
State vs. Amanda McDade—Misdemean-
State vs. Patrick Collins, Edward Galla
her and James Gallaher —Accessory after
the fact. This action is brought in connec
tion with the proceedings against Starling
Ferguson, a colored canal boatman, indict
ed for fraudulent appropriation of goods
shipped on his boat, a few weeks ago.
The Murderer of Mi;. Lewis. —Sheriff
Byrd, of Burke county, was in the city yes
terday, armed with the proper warrant for
the return to Burke county jail of the ne
gro. Ben Godbey, in jail here, charged with
the murder of Mr. Adkins D. Lewis, near
Waynesboro, on Wednesday last. We
learn, however, that he decided to allow
the prisoner l<> remain iu his present place
of confinement for safe-keeping.
An examination of the body of the de
ceased, we learn, revealed no less thaq
twenty-seven cuts or stabs, from four to
seven inches iu depth, thus showing the
savage brutality and horrible purpose of
his assailant. A coroner’s inquest, held on
the deceased, resulted Us » verdict of wilful
murder.
Combination of Old Favorites. —By
reference to an advertisement in another
column, it will be seen that Col. C. B. Day
has become associated with S. K. Dick in
his general auctioneering and commission
business. In this union there is a strength
of courtesy and business qualifications and
resources combined which caunot fail to at
tract a large share of public patronage.
The decks have all been cleared, and these
gentlemen, with renewed faith and increased
effort will leave no effort untried to merit
the confidence and patronage of the public.
During the approaching Fall they intend
to supply the wholesale and retail trade
with goods in all lines, at auction and pri
vate sale, at rates which Mill be a terror to
high prices and a cause of rejoicing to de
pleted pocket-books. We heartily com
mend them to a favorable consideration.

A WONDERFUL SOUTHERN DIS
COVERY.
In the South, where Liver Complaint and
bilious diseases prevail to so great an ex
tent, there has long beeu felt a need of a
medicine that would act specifically and
promptly on the Liver, restoring it toils nor
mal functions, and at the same time lie safe
from after effects, and yet so simple that it
might be used by any one. It is claimed
that DR. TUTT’S VEGETABLE LIVER
PILLS supplies this want. They act di
rectly on the liver; their constant use will
not injure in the slightest degree the most
delicate constitution. Females at any pe
riod may use them with great benefit, and
realize great relief from the distressing nau
sea which they experience at certain times.
These pills are not recommended as a uni
versal cure-all, but simply for diseased liver,
and thosemaladies which follow a derange
ment of that important organ, such as Dys
pepsia, Sick Headache, Indigestion, Loss
of Appetite, Costiveness, Piles, Jaundice,
Sour Stomach, Ladies’ Heartburn, Chills
and Fever, Foul Breath, Restlessness at
Night and Flatulency. These invaluable
pills may be found in every drug store of
any note in the South and West.
Important Correspondence.
Treasurer’s Office, > ■
Atlanta, Ga., June 11,1869. j
P. C. Calhoun, Esq., President Fourth Na
tional ißank, New York:
Dear Sir : Enclosed please find my re
ply to Governor Bullock’s extraordinary
and unauthorized injunction, purporting
as an attempt to restrain you from further
official intercourse, &c.
I presume this paper of the Governor is
based on my letter to you of the 24th ult.,
which, after rendering the $55,000 as a
credit to you, I stated, in conclusion, for
my own protection : “ So far as the $55,000
drawn by Gov. B. is concerned, not return
ed nor reported to the Treasurer by him,
but applied by him to purposes unauthor
ized by law (especially the $20,000 last
drawn), it will require special legislation
before we are authorized to acknowledge it
as a debt of this State.”
By this statement it was not intended to
discredit this part of your account, so far
as l am concerned ; hut the amount having
never reached my hands, and, so far as the
Treasury here is concerned, being short the
$55,000, as charged in your account, 1 was
certainly warranted, as a matter of pre
caution for my own protection, to state
the condition of the credit rendered in my
statement, and charged in your account,
kuowiug it would require an appropria
tion by the Legislature to cover the
amount, and an Executive warrant for the
same, before the terms of the law would lx;
complied with, and the Treasurer’s lxioks
in conformity thereto.
I have no reason to doubt but such ac
tiou will lie taken as to meet the amount,
provided you make no further advances of
like character.
My office is independent of the Governor.
Having beeu elected by the Legislature ami
given bond iu conformity with law, the
Governor has no power to enjoin or re
strain you from official intercourse or busi
ness transactions with me as Treasurer.
What action have you taken relative to
the new bonds ?
Respectfully, yours,
N. L. Angihr, Treasurer.
New York, June 11,1869.
lion. N. L. Angler, Treasurer:
Dear Sir; I have yours of 11th lust.,
with printed copy of Gov. Bullock’s notice
to this bank and your reply to the same.
I forwarded to Gov. Bullock copy of
your letter of 24th ult., for the purpose of
bringing to his notice the following lan
guage contained therein, which seemed to
look towards repudiating the drafts made
by him against funds borrowed by him for
the State of Georgia, and which he assured
the writer u° had full p«wer and authority
to appropriate to the uses qf the State :
“So far as the $55,000 drawn by Gov.
Bullock is concerned —not returned nor
reported /o the Treasurer by him, but ap
plied by him to purposes unauthorized by
law, (especially the $20,000 last drawn) —it
will require special legislation before we
are authorized to acknowledge it as a debt
of this State.”
This language not having the explana
tion contained in your letier of the 11th
inst., made it desirable ou our part that
the matter should be understood at once,
and in consequence, the copy of your letter
of May 24th was sent to Gov. Bullock, re
questing an answer.
As yet, have not been able to dispose of
any of your bonds at your price. Our
money market has been very close since
receipt of the certificates of your Secretary
of State as required by the Board of Brok
ers, and have not thought best to offer
them for a or two.
Your coupon interest, due July 1,1 sup
pose, must be paid as presented, and shall
continue to protect the credit of the State
until otherwise directed.
Respectfully, yours,
P. C. Calhoun President.
An Alabama Reconstructionist. —The
Opelika Locomotive says of Judge Heflin,
the Radical nominee for Congress in the 3d
District of Alabama, that “he was a mem
her of the Alabama Legislature just before
and during the first two years of the war,
and voted to sustain the Confederacy even
to the 1 last man and the last dollar,’ but
changed his course during the war, and
joined the Foderals, or at least fled his sec
tion for the North, and since the war has
made some bitter speeches, threatening to
divide, or hoping that the Federal Survey
or would divide the lands of the Southern
landholders with the negroes, and promis
ing mules, &c.”
Another report represents him rather
more favorably—says that he is opposed to
and opposed by carpet-baggers, and is in
favor of the relief of white men from all po
litical disabilities.
Henry Ward Beecher is opposed to unit
ing all ftPcts in one. He says:
There was no one sect that had it given
to it to preach all the truth. The love of
Christ was too vast and too grand to be
held in one vessel. He believed that the
multiplicity and variety of the churches,
in their forms of church government, were
necessary to the effectual publishing of the
truth as it is in Jesus Christ, and their
mere ecclesiastical separation was not bar
rier to the exercise of the spirit of Chris
tian love and the unity born thereof.
Narrow Escape.— Some men were ex
ploring a cave in an Indian mound near
Davenport, lowa, a few days ago, and had
secured several stone hatchets and other
relics, when they felt a movement of the
earth under foot, and clambered hastily out.
They had hardly reached the entrance
when the ground they had been standing
on within gave way, a large gnp appeared,
and a mass of earth was heard to strike a
pool of water an indefinite distance below
with a heavy splash.
The Shaker and His Velocipede.—A
young Shaker, in a Connecticut communi
ty, lately made a velocipede. The Elder
beheld the machine, and exclaimed, “A
Shaker on a velocipede can ride only in one
direction—straight to the devil;’’ and
smashed it with an ax. The young Shaker
objected to this and left the community—
other young disciples, not well grounded
in the feith, joining in the indignation and
revolt.
Dwarf apples are grafted upon several
species of sbrubbry apples known as Para

high, and are perfectly hardy,

The ENTIRE CAPITAL OF THIS COMPANY has been furnished by citizens of Vir
ginia and Georgia.
It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now annually sent North for
LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of which takes so much, from Southern vitality. Henceforth
let. us keep our investments at home,and we will again assert and maintain our supremacy. This
BRANCH OFFICE oilers all inducements for Life Insurance o( a perfect Home Office, with
these advantages : The Capital is furnished, the expense of commencing operations lias been
incurred, the success, beyond peradventure, is established, and the whole Capital ancl Assets of
the Home Company stand committed to sustain it.
Tlie entire management ol the Piedmont is in the bauds of Southern tnen, and its aim is to
sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern men place their money and the inter
ests of their wives and children in the hands of Northern men, who, you know, do not love you, and
who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity , and WHOSE CH ARTERS FOR BID THE
INVESTMENT OF ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT?
THE PIEDMONT is not only a thoroughly Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest
all funds accruing in Georgia, within the Suite, under the direction of Georgia gentlemen, in
whose integrity yon must have entire confidence. .
THE PIEDMONT gives per cent, of net profits to her Policy holders ; issues Gold Poli
cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or 4} Gold standard ; has already declared 40 per cent,
dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, in short, offers all advantages that Southern men could
ask. We, therefore, confidently appeal to Southern men to sustain an established and perma
nent. institution of their own, and we cannot doubt the results.
THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privileges and benefits granted its patrons, to any
other Company, surpassed by none, and superior to many, and only requests parties wishing'to in
sure not to do so until they have examined the merits of this established Southern Company.
Call on our Agents for information. Active, reliable and energetic Agents wanted.
