SUNDAY MOBNING, AUG. 22,1869 State Items. The Central Georgian says: Cotton is done. Rust general throughout the county. Cat erpiller in the low lands. Corn less than an average. The appointment of John Darnell as Prin cipal Keeper of the Penitentiary • removes Col. O. H. Walton, who was also an ap pointee of Governor Bullock’s. The Savannah News mentions the receipt of 75 Burke connty melons, weighing in the aggregate 350 pounds. That’s less than 5 pounds to the melon, and not much to brag of. A friend writing from Hall county to the Athens Watchman , on the 13th, says: “ Corn is failing rapidly in our county, from drought and a dry, blasting east wind.” Sorry to hear it. The People's Defender is authorized to state that the people ofNewnan and vicini ty, aided by the City Fathers, will give a grand pic-nic on Monday next, the 23d inst., to which the public generally, and the Press particularly, are cordially invited. Mr. A. R. Wallace, says the Savannah News, has been appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury “gauger” in the Internal Revenue Department for this District. A better appointment could not have been made, Mr. W. being a gentleman well known in business circles in this communi ty- The Milledgeville Union says the crops still hold out promise of abundant yield to our planters. The weather last week was rainless; but the erbps were not suffering from drought. The previous rains had been sufficient, for the needs of vegetation. Corn was somewhat injured by the July drought; but cotton promises well. Mr. Wm Cox, of this county, says the Handersville Central Georgian, was suffoca ted by poisonous gas, in a well on the premises of Mr. T. J. Cook, on the 6th inst. Mr. Cox was descending iuto the well to finish some work upon the curbing, when the gas struck him and he fell out of the bucket. He called once or twice for help, but was dead before it reached him. He was a young man, 21 or 22 years of age. A correspondent of the Savannah News, writing from Blackshear, says: I have seen several of the largest crops, and conversed wbh many of the planters of the county, (Pierce), and it is fully agreed that the pres ent is the best crop of corn, cotton, rice, po tatoes and cane raised in this county since the war. One the main cases of the good crops is the quantity of commercial manures used. I have also seen frie crops and plaut 'ers along the line of railroad from Doctor Town to Grooverville, and there is no cause for complaint. The corn, cotton, rice, cane &e., show for themselves, and the proprie tors do not grumble. The yield of oats and fodder, now already housed, is more than needed far domestic use. The Covington Enterprise says that crops have suffered in Newton county severe ly within the past two mouths for want of rain. Except in a few favored localities of small extent, corn is hopelessly cut off, in many cases so entirely as to yield less than the amount planted. Cotton is not so thoroughly destroyed as corn, but scarcely half a crop can be realized, even with favorable weather in the future. Some partial showers have fallen of late, but hardly sufficient to prepare uplands for sowing turnips. Insurance Companies. —Maj. Madison Bell, Comptroller General of the State, lias very kindly furnished us with a list of in surance companies authorized to do busi ness in this State. We are assured that no company that, lias not been furnished with a certificate of authority has the right, to transact insurance business in this State, nor has any agent such right without a like certificate. By observing this list, the public can learn what companies have com plied with the law, and thus be protected against “ wild-cats.” Other companies have filed their papers, but have not yet fully complied with the law; but, we sup pose, such of them as shall do so shortly will be duly licensed.

It says ; are informed that there is one per son in the county, in good health, over ninety-five ; two over ninety ; three over eighty-five; seventeen over eighty, qutj forty odd beyond seventy. These are gll males, and as the ladies are a little squeam ish on the subject, we will not say anything as far as they are concerned, as some are not yet married and are not without hope.” Honorably Acquitted. —We learn that H. 11. Phillips and H. Rivers, who were committed to ihe Chatham county jail some time ago, on suspicion of having murdered Captain Haywood, of South Car olina, about the first of March, 1867, and who were takeu to Beaufort, South Caroli na, for trial, have been tried by a mixed jury and honorably acquitted. Leßoy Williams for the prosecution; R. Davant for the defense. [ Savannah Republican. 2ri-tt)cdiln Constitutionalist. [From the Athens Banner. Shocking Tragedy in Monroe. A young lady named Mary Cunningham, aged about twenty-three years, daughter of a widow lady, and most reputably con nected, died from poison on Sunday night, in the town of Monroe, under very distress ing and somewhat mysterious circum stances. The young lady had borne a good character until recently, when letters were fouud revealing a liaison of long standing with a young ma» in the town, whose name we have forgotten. These letters were written by her to him, and gave, with disgusting particularity, the details of an abortion which she had procured on her self, and in which she boasted that she had fooled everybody, even her mother and the doctor. The existence of these letters caused much comment, and it was expected that they, with other evidence, would be placed before thegrand jury, and that the young huly would be indicted for the shocking crime. She expressed a determination to commit suicide before she would go before the court. The mother also is said to have de clared her desire that she should die before making such a disgraceful exposure. The letters were pronounced forgeries, and the innocence of the young lady was asserted in the most solemn manner by her and her mother. It is proper to say that the physi cian who attended her at the time of her alleged abortion, and at the time of her death, has conclusive evidence that the charges were true and the letters genuine. On Sunday night about midnight her mother raised the alarm that her daughter was very ill, and when Dr. Young arrived she was in a dying condition. A cup con taining strychnine was found on the table, with the dregs of a cup of coffee. She died a few moments. There were circumstances in the conduct of Mrs. Cunningham, which, taken in con nection with her previous declarations that she preferred that her daughter should die rather than be indicted—which strongly indicate her complicity in the shocking tragedy, and we learned that the matter was before the grand jury for investigation. It was a sad affair, such as we are seldom called on to record in this latitude. Walton C’oukt.— We attended Walton Superior Court on Tuesday and Wednes day. Two or three civil cases of minor im portance were tried. On Wednesday the criminal docket was taken up, and most of the day.was occupied in getting a jury in the case of Mr. Addington, of Jackson county, charged with setting tire to a store in Monroe last year. We have not heard the result of the trial There are six or seven criminals iu jail, and it was agreed to hold an adjourned term the second week in November, for the purpose of bringing up the business. The bar was ably represented in Judge Floyd, Col. Clark, Col. Billups, Capt. Hillyer, Col. Thurmond, Mnj. Lamar Cobb, Col. Juhan, and the local bar. Col. Clark pre sided in one or two cases in which Judge Davis had been employed. Crops in Walton have been badly dam aged by the drought. The rust is doing serious itijnrj- in various parts of the county, and is also reported to be working sad havoc in Newton, Morgan and Greene. [Athens Thinner. Weakly Review of Augusta Market.

STANLEY BECKWITH. _I?HE ENTIRE CAPITAL OF THIS COMPANY baa been furnished by citizens of-Vir ginia and Georgia. It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now antnjnlly sent North for LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of which takes so much from Southern vitality. Henceforth let ns keep our investments at, home, and we will again assert and maintain our supremacy. This BRANCH OFFICE otters all inducements lor Life Insurance ol a perfect Rome Offloe, with these advantages : The Capital is furnished, the expense of commencing, operations has'been incurred, the success, beyond peradventure, is established, and the whole Capital and Assets of the Home Company stand committed to sustain it. The entire management of the Piedmont is in the hands of Southern men, 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 notdesire your prosperity, and WHOSE CHARTERS FORIHD THE INVESTMENT OF ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT P THE PIEDMONT ia not only a thoroughly Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest all lunds accruing in Georgia, within the State, undor the direction ol Georgia gentlemen, in whose integrity yon must have entire confidence. THE PIEDMONT gives S7>£ per cent, of net profits to her Policy holders ; issues Gold Poli cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or at 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 meu to sustain an established and perma nent institution ol Lheir 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 wisbiug to iu 6ure not to do so until they havo examiued the merits of this established Southern Company.
