SUNDAY MORNING, AUG. 22.1869
A SUMMER EXCURSION.
A Jew days since, we packed up our valise,
not carpet-bag, and, in company with one of
Augusta’s most esteemed merchants, took the
evening train, on the South Carolina Railroad,
for a flying visit to Charleston and Beaufort.
This evening train is a very leisurely one; it
is essentially of “accommodation,” and accord
ing to the paradoxical statement of an elderly
female passenger, “ stops at all the places it
comes to and at a good many others it does
not come to at all.” But, in spite of slow time,
we managed to preserve our composure, and,
if we had been without nerves, the night would
have passed away while we unconsciously
slumbered. Having nerves, however, and be
ing withal steady family men, the sleeping
chairs were unequal to the occasion and we
could not woo Morpheus to pillow,, do
what we would. At last, as the first hints at,
day appeared in the sky, we reached
CHARLESTON.
For six or seven years, we had been a stran
ger to the “ City by the Sea,” and so, although
our stay would be but brief, the temptation of
an early morning stroll could not be resisted.
Ere the 6un was up; when the town was quiet;
before the hurly-burly of trade had commenced;
and while the pure atmosphere hallowed every
thing, we strayed hither and thither over the
dear old-place, tlnd could npt but think that, in
spite of war and fire and the negro police,
there was an aspect of improvement-visible on
all sides. The streets were clean, the side
walks smooth, the buildings neatly arranged,
and even the ruins picturesque. Nothing can
take away from Charleston a pertain propriety
of demeanor. Even its brick, mortar and
wood work are highly respectable, and we pe
tition all whom concern to permit the
Circular Church to remain just ob it is. with
Us crumbled wall, its mysterious nooks, and
the pigeons wheeling in and out of the belfry
tower. We could have watched the blithe
birds and their graceful gyrations, by the hour ;
but our plans prevented, and, with reluctant
adieux to
“ The people
Who dwell up In the steeple
All alone—”
we sought the omnibus, and went, at a rattlin g
pace, toward the Ashley river, in order to get
aboard the cars of the
CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH RAILROAD.
The bridge over the Asbley river is now one
of the “ results of the warsarcastically speak
ing, it is “ unreconstructed.” Pending its re
habilitation, passengers and freight are convey
ed from one side to theother by huge row-boats.
Our boat company was about equally divided
between white and black citizens. As soon as
persons of either complexion touched the boat,
they very naturally separated, the ooe going
to the side spontaneously appropriated to his
race, and the other tending in an opposite dir,
reetiou. This is as should be, and is a straw'
showing that the wind in Carolina does not
blow a hurricane toward the African coast, af
ter all. Yielding to the steady strokes of ne
gro oarsmen, our boat soon landed us at a pier
immediately opposite our first' point of depart
ure. The cars are waiting for us, and, alter a
necessary delay of some minutes, they move ofl
in the direction of Savannah. The scenery all
along this railroad differs essentially from that
of the ordinal y up-country and has a more
agreeable diversity. The lordly live oak and
fragrant gum dominate over the pine, and the
forest ,is dotted, at intervals, by salt-marsh,
cottOD, corn and rite fields. The agricultural
prospect was uniformly excellent' all along our
route, and the signs of a prosperous harvest
everywhere encouraging. The planters seem
ed to leel that good fuck was in store for them,
was generally conceded that the negroes
were working with a deal more of
than they did last year. Some of the owners
of the soil, however, had the coolie fever, and
one great rice-cultivator has ordered no less
than two hundred and fifty pigtails, so we were
told. May joy go with him and them ; but we
have our doubts.
Passing the fields glad with tillage, the ca
thedral oaks, the weird marshes, the wine
dark, 6lnewy rivers, we reached a station on
the road, some fifty miles from Charleston,
called
TEMASSEE-
Thls place may Lave a future when the whistle
of the engine rushing from Port Royal retorms
and agitates matters iiythe neighborhood ; but,
at present, it is simply, so far as we could dis
cover, a grocery store and blacksmith-shop.—
It was, however, the terrainns of our railway
travel, for here It is that the passengers for
Beaufort, twenty-four miles distant, take such
vehicles as heaven and Mr. Sellers, the mail
contractor, shall please. There were some six
or eight persons desirous of reaching Beaufort
that evening, and the bewildered gents looked
alarmingly askew at two rather rickety Jersey
wagons which stood hard by and seemed to
apologize for their inadequate accommoda
tions. The case was not promising but Mr.
Sellers had a splendid surprise in 6torc for
onr particular party. With the action of
Talma, he surveyed the company, and then
cried out iu a loud voice : “ Where are the Di
rectors of the Georgia Railroad ?” Our mer
chant friend stepped forward and introduced
himself as an euvoy of that great corporation.
The writer said nothing, bnt a consequential
air, assuqaed for the occasion, imposed on the
gentle Sellers, and Judge Kino had a repre
sentative whose shares on the books of the
company are not yet within reach of the
latest microscopic discoveries. Satisfied that
he had two eminent Augusta men un
der his charge, Mr. Sellers ordered a
very presentable hack aud avowed that it had
been “specially provided for the Directors.”
With looks of envy and admiratiou from our
less fortunate companions, we, the “ Directors”
aforesaid, authoritatively took onr places in the.
coach. The road to Port Royal Ferry, some
fourteen miles, is a good one, in spite of Sher
man’s corduroy. It is, for the greater part of
the way, fairly canopied with thegiant branches
of live oak, and, on either side, tho vegetation,
at this time of the year, is rank and luxuriant.
Now and then, there were gaps on the line,
revealing the ruin of some magnificent man
sion, almost mocking the rich fields of cotton
around it, which promise, at no distant day, to
make restoration of deserted palaces and bring
back somewhat of tho glory of the “ days that
are no more.” Within stone’s throw of the
road, about eight miles from the Ferry, we
passed Sheldon Church , a relic of the bid revo
lution and a much more stately and substantial
country meeting-house than bur rustic people
worship in, during these latter days. We made
excellent time, and, in due season, trotted down
a firstrate causeway to the Ferry. The flat
transporting us was worked by a rope and ex
peditiously worked too. Once across, we drove
oat of the flat and were on
port rotal island.
There used to be, under the regime ancien,
a superb Bhell road leading from the ferry to
Beaufort; but it has been long neglected and
is now churned into an ordinary track of sand.
At Temassee we had Jbeen joined by Mr. Gads
den, Superintendent of the Charleston and
Savannah Railroad, a most skilful engineer aud
intelligent gentleman ; mentally and physically
a noticeable man. Ho was familiar with every
foot of land hereabout and enlivened onr jour
ney, when it grew tedions, by reminiscences,
anecdotes and suggestions ot pith and value.
Port Royal Island, as is commonly known,
Was so loDg occupied by Federal troops that it
became a sort of Yankee empire. At present,
it is very much in the similitude oi an Ethi
opian province, thanks to that great, good and
tender-hearted man, Gen. W.Tecumseh Sher
man. It was he, we believe, who instigated,
the parcelling of the abandoned lands among
the negroes ; and it was mainly through him
that Congress 'passed a law bearing on the
direct tax, which has suddenly, and, for very
little cash in hand, enriched multitudinous
blacks and, so we learn, sundry down East
sutlers it id omne genus. This grand domain
has been t urned over to late slaves and the trooly
loil who followed the drum in some capacity
or other. These Northern gentry have, in
some instances, behaved with much discretion;
very badly, io others. We heard, for example,
that opportunities were given the former pro
prietors to repossess themselves of houses—
not lands—by the payment of inconsiderable
sums. Others of this class, however, did not
behave with equal amiability, asserting in de
fense of their despicable meanness, that the
“ and and rebels and traitors ought to be made
to pay dearly for their dwellings.” Let us
hope that suck deviltry was exceptional. The
houses held by Government were the only
ones Becnred by their old owners. Those sold
before the termination of the war, to satisfy
the Imposition of a direct tax, are, in a
majority of cases, still held by those who*
purchased them at some ridiculously low fig
ure. Elegant residences, costing some $20,000
in gold, have been bought for S3OO in green
backs, and sometimes for much less. General
Rurcs Saxton, the notorious negrophilist, is
the possessor of a $20,000 house, which cost him
only a month’s pay. And so it is in a marked de
gree in all the town of Beaufort. The war
proved a decided blessing to maQy poor fel
lows who never dreamed of such luck, lang
syne, in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Ver
mont. They are civil, and try to imitate South
ern manners-; out the effort is not always
graceful, and none that I met with w ere able to
eat okiv 'up, because, as they avoMdAjt was
“ such darned sticky stuff.” TjflEfßKit ab
solutely satisfied with the prop
erty, and the old proprietors steadily reject all
applications for “ quit claims.” Some among
them are satisfied that they arc founded in the
matter of their new acquisitions as firmly as
the true church is founded on a rock. Some
think Uncle Samuel will, some day, vote the
dispossessed parties a bonus of $200,000. this
they consider an ample amount, although the
Port Royal Railroad terminus may net the
lucky loyal holder some fabulous amouut of
“ demnition cash.” We saw the former own
er of one of the probable termini of the road.
He was an elderly gentleman, plying hither
and thither, like Old Mortality; and the shrewd
young fellow who picked up his patrimony at
a bargain is a very important personage, aB
times go. There is another old gentleman
in Beaufort, who whilom had a munifi
cent income, accruing from his plantation. He
wandered back to Port Royal, after the war,
and his former slaves “ magnanimously” gave
him, or lent him, fifteen acres of his own soil.
Every morning, this venerable but unconquered
patriaren trudges, hoe over his shoulder,
towards his little patch, which he works him
self; and, every evening, hoe over his shoulder,
he plods wearily back to Beaufort. We are
disposed to be as as we can to our
Northern brethren so suddenly made rich by
the possessions of others; but, oh friends!
there is something that makes wrath drive out
meekness when we witness sights like these!

:i Such has heen
the Barnwell mansion,
a conspTUOOus laud-mark for the region all
around, If a case is ever made up for the re
possession of the Port Royal property, the
Barnwell estate will probably be tbe test.—
This well known family received their grant
from the British Parliament before the United
States existed as such. A Democratic Congress
will simplify matters exceedingly, and do
not despair of seeing that sort of a Grand
Council beiore our hairs grow grey;.
The cropß in Port Royal are indifferent
a gencial thing, they are poor, being cultivated
almost entirely by the black owners. These
blacks did not seem very thrifty, bnt starvation
ia oat of the queefcioti while fish, oysters, crahs
and shrimp are so abuudaut in all the waste of
waters. They seem to have come down con
siderably from-the “high horse” ot politics and
are quite incensed with their negro Legislators
because ol the taxes, and, in one notorious in
stance, because the big-bug buck of all has
played them, it is said, some scurvy trick in the
sale of their commodities.
So much for a necessary digression. Let
ns return to onr stage coach, which has all the
while been struggling through the heavy roads
that lead into Beanfort. Within a few miles of
the town, Mr. Sellers’ team grew rather leg
weary and the landscape did not, by any means,
“fly by,” as the romancers say. As we reached
the top of a high bill just over-against Beau
fort, the mules halted. The sun was dipping
westward and below us lay the hamlet, still
brave, in spite of the war-hoof, with stately
buildings and semi-tropical foliage. Turn
ing aside from this, onr attention was attracted
by an immense enclosure. “That,” said
our guide, is “the National-Ceifietery.—
“There’s mauy a chap buried there.—
“ That is many pieces of chaps. Ten
“thousand, if there’s one.” We drove a
little nearer and looked over twcuty acres of
death’s harvesting. The ground everywhere
was literally white wiih a snow-storm of tomb
stones. While we stood between the cemetery
gate and the keeper’s lodge, our guide volun
teered some curious and sepulchral informa
tion. Said he: “1 tell you, gents, there is
“ many a boy in blue there, and then again,
“ there are some chaps in that place who ought
“to grin in their coffins for being there.”—
“ How so,” we asked. “ Why,” he replied,
“ the burying was done by contract and a fel
“ low got $lO a head for bringing them in. I
“ tell yon some chaps were brought in that the
“ Yanks hadn’t declared dividends on—a
“good many grey jackets, for iustance. Bnt
“the strangest tricks were these: They dug
“ up men and then divided them, so that a ten
“ dollar job, by separating arms, legs and head,
“ was made to pay five hundred per cent. It
“ was a cute thing—you bet; and I should not
“ wonder if some bummer’s skull was at that
“ gate and his big toe a clean half mile away
“ down in yonder corner.” Os course, we were
vastly entertained by this queer commentary ;
bnt more awful revelations were behind. Our
driver continued. “ They did worse than that.
“ They dug up two nigger children out of our
“ graveyard, and, I swear, sirs, to my certain
“ knowledge, those picaninniea are buried you
“ der as ‘ nultnown ’ boys in blue. X reckon
“ they are among the infautry !” We asked
this absolute man whose monument it was that
rose above the common graves around. He
knew all about it, and thus ejaculated : “ Ob,
“ that’s Mrs. Potter’s memorial monument. I
“ know all about that, for I put it up. She
“ collected $5,000 in the North to build that
“ figure-head, and it cost $2,500. Some people
“call the cemetery Potter's Field; but such
“ fellows, you know, are unreconstructed.”—
As he concluded, the whip lash took the dozing
mules by surprise, and they began to budge on
lazily. At last, we moved through the melan
choly outlying boundaries and entered
BEAUFORT.
It is a pretty place yet; bnt its interior life
and society arc no more like the Beanfort of 1860
than Beast Butler is like the Apollo Belvidere.
The people who once made elysium of it are
no longer, save with a few straggling excep
tions, in their old bannts of delight. The build
ings are left, somewhat the worse for wear;
and the moss-grown old chapel, where the
darlings of the land came to make the Sabbaths
more bolily beautiful, still stands. But the
down-East gentry live under the orange'and
the flg trees they used to read about in the
bleak shadow of the White Mountains; and the
choir in the old church, no donbt, reverberates
with nasal psalmody unknown once to those
who slumber beneath the gronpiDg trees, or
those who rest on distant battle-fields, or those
lovely and beloved ones who dwelfin poverty
afar. Dear God! we could preach a pathetic
sermon in tbe vestibule of that grey pile; but
our space forbids it in these columns.
Perhaps fbe most striking contrast, between
old and new Beaufo.-t may be found in the ||
COURT HOUSE.
It is an awkward shanty ; bnt it answers tbe
purpose of dispensing Judge Flatt’s bob
tailed law. It was Court week when we were
in Beaofort; and so the town was unusually
aetir. Near the building and on the porch un
limited negroes were distributed. ' Some sat
on a huge log outside, under the sweltering
sun, like “tour and twenty black birds baked
in a pie.” Others clustered around the saerbd
precincts—an unctuous and unsavory mass.
Under protest of our nose, we made our
way into the temple Os Justice tbe oew
faehioued jade now philandering pell-mell in
South Carolina. The negroes were In a de
cided majority in Court. It would not be a
great stretch of imagination to suppose a Con
no millennium at this point. We directed our
gaze toward “ His Honor. 1 * He is a dry, adust
©l4 fellow, looking, when gowned up, marvel
l&sly like a performing weasel. His lips ara
perpetually twitching. Hardly with a plug of
tobacco. The poor man has lost his law-end ;
that’s the matter with him. His mouth seems
to be in despairing search of bis nose. We
really pitied him and wished he could seize
upon the desired proboscis. It would be
such a satisfaction alter so much of vain
endeavor. But that nose was an unreached
paradise while we were there. To the right
of “His Honor ’’ were the jurymen—ten
gentlemen of Ethiopian extractiop and two
white men ; at least they resembled Caucas
sians. In tbe body of the ball were the law
yers. The white attorneys sat on tbe left of the
aisle ; the black advocates were ©mAke right.—
This array of legal*!ore in ebony novelty
to us. It was worth the price ol admission.
Iu front of allsat Whipper, one of tbe finest
looking negroKsifb'u ever clapped two eyes on.
His wool was cropped so close to his scalp
that another clip of the scissors would have
drawn blood. His complexion was of the
duskiest and glowed greasily radiant. He is a
robust lellow, 6hapely withal, affects clean
shirts, paper collars, broad-cloth coats and irri
maculate pantaloons. He is a sensation iu
eclipse - ; and when he strides down Beauiort
streets with a common negro behind him,
groaning under a green bag, yon might laucy
that the King of the Kickeraboo Islands had
come to town to have a banquet of man-steak.
It is said that he acquired a lair common-school
education at Oberlin ; that he is a shrewd and
adroift man ; that he conducts an ordinary crimi
nal case passably well, but flounders, like a
mad porpoise, when be qnotes “ the authori
ties.” He is said to be quite civil to Southern
white men ; but does not hesitate occasionally,
so the story runs, to use the Northern Solicit
or’s pocket handkerchief. At Whtpper’s el
bow Is a spruce, but not very noticeable, dar
key, who has grown aristocratic since be
came to Beaufort, and now calls himself
Robert Barnwell Elliott. Behind these
worthies carved out of lead pencil is a

his dU9kj law he is a South
Carolina well as a disciple of
Black—very He turns over
his documents dramatic display,
and, ever and anon, looks furtively, and, we

tbe other side. The bailiffs of the Gourt are all
sooty, and armed with staves wonderfully like
rejected bed-posts. When they yell : “Call
John Smith at de door,” or “John Smith a
cumin in de eort,” it is a spectacle for gods
and men to contemplate. They have some
conundrums about the “Judge.”. One is:
“Why is Judge Platt like Necessity ?”
Answer : “Because he knows nO .law.” “His

Not only was it Cuyft week in Beaufort,
hut there was to be a meeting of the stock"
holders of the
PORT ROTAL RAILROAD.
The meeting was held in a dilapidated Meth
odist chapel. It was held, too, before an au
dience quite as promiscuous as that of the
Court House. There was what is known as a
“high old time” at this convocation. The
battle royal seemed to be between the contract
ors and those of the stockholders who had mo
nopolized the land that fronted tba most eligi
ble water courses for the termini of the road.
A horrible suspicion had seized upon the Beau
fort stockholders, and they trembled lest the
road should terminate at. what is known as
Foot Point, and leave their lands and their
town in the lurch. So blinded were they with
this idea that not the charter itself, which
prevented it, nor yet the fact tbat it would
cause the road to make an absurd and expen
sive deflection of twenty miles, could convince
them to the contrary. Impelled by such a sus
picion, there were some racy developments as
to land monopoly. The sharp-shootiDg between
the Beaufortites and the chief contractor, Mr.
Flannagan, was something terrific. By some
Bismarckian diplomacy, the contractor seemed
to know the way into everybody’s Blue Beard
chamber of the heart. Some ot his retorts
were as telling as unexpected ; some were sur
gical, and others were as good as opera
bouffe. In mercy we refrain from particulars ;
suffice it that no end of soiled linen was brought
to the public wash-tub on that occasion. The
trial of strength came off when a vote, by stock,
was taken on a motion that looked to an ad
journment without an election of officers. A
majority of the stockholders present were
afraid of the fature power of the contractors,
who, as the work gradually progressed, would
gradually control the stock. Hence they want
ed to check this move by keeping in position
their old directory. The vote was taken and
the contractors lost the day. At this point,
the afternoon session terminated. Then that
great American potentate, King Caucus, began
his reign, preliminary to the night assemblage.
The night session came aud Caucus performed
miracles. At an opportune moment, onr Au
gusta friend, who shall be nameless, because
his modesty is equal to liis generalship, was
called upon and made a speech, short, sharp
and decisive, which settled the entire difficulty.
The voice of the Georgia Railroad was omnip
otent and when it satisfied Beanfort that Foot
Point was not to be thongbt of, Beaufort sur
rendered the batebet and agreed to adjourn
sine die. When the next meeting takes plaee,
enough of the road will be completed to give
high contracting parties virtual control of the
stock- If matters progress as anticipated,
there will be anew shuffle and anew deal.
Two directors will be chosen from the Georgia
Railroad and two from the Savannah ami
Charleston Road. Speculation is rife as to the
next Presidency, as to the choice of rontea and
as to the exact locality of a Southern deep
water terminus. We think we know the com
ing man; bnt we cannot tell all the world and
his wife. No one can yet designate the precise
line of road. It will, at this end, pass through
somebody’s land in Beech Island, but will pro
bably not wriggle over everybody’s plantation.
We are of opinion that tbe Southern terminus
will be where certain anxious parties least sus
pect, as Mr. Flannagan is somewhat mysteri
ously inclined, like Stonewall Jackson, and
may go to other places than those he was most
happy to praise and most sedulous in inspect
ing. More than this we do not venture to say,
for we dislike false prophecies and love to be
secretly wise. The momentous fact remains
that the Road will be promptly built and tbat
Augusta will have another magnificent outlet
to the sea. Already the work has been begun
and there is money behind to push it forward.
First class ocean steamers may, something like
a year hence, sound their steam whistles in the
hearing of the Sea Islands and the iron-horse
will plunge like a thunderbolt from the waters
of Port Royal to the fertile lands tba» compass,,

the press as throw light on tbe alleged m#
tery and develop exactly the worth and infamj
of the evidence. The Missouri RcjmAi jpD

Augusta
that tbe poet, 1 Mad Jack Byron,’
as he was a confirmed roue , so ut
terly infamous in his wickedness that he was
virtually banished from decent society. In lsis
twenty-seventh year he eloped with the Mar
chioness of Carmarthen, whose husband short
ly alter procured a divorce, when Byron mar
ried her. She died in 1764, a victim of his nlg
lect and jlj-treatment. One daughter, Augss
ta, was the sole fruit of this wretched union.
The following year Byron married Miss Cathe
rine Gordon, the mother of the author,of
1 Childe Harold.’ Augusta, then, must tffve
been at least two or three years the senioj of
her hall brother, bat a strong affection exiaed
between them, the records of which are skit
tered through both bis poetry and correspoid
euce. She was the la?,t to leave him previous
to his final departure from England ; her njme
was among the last that lingered on hisjips
when he lay dying at Missolonghi, and hqbe
queathed to her all the property he possessed
except what was already settled upon Ladysßy
ron and Ada. It was Augusta’s hand wjich
placed over Byron’s tomb in Huckuall cbjrch
the tablet which bears a name that neQdljso
sculptured marli}e to make t 1 itpmortal. t
“Augusta died a number of years since, ( ind
up to This time no breath of slander tromany
quarter has ever stained her reputation.
“The world is uow asked to believe thatlbis
lady formed and continued through several
years at least, an inccstpoqs connection with
her brother, and that a child was horn ofj the
unnatural alliance. But this is not all: we
are asked to believe that Lady Byron knev of
the connection immediately after her marrnge,
and that, from a sense of duty to her buslaud
and for the sake of 1 tbe angel that was in
him,’ she tacitly sanctioned it bj permuting
the partner of his crime to remain unde! her
roof while she herself continued to hold ths po
sition of a wife. More than this even ; wfe are
told that she did not leave Lord Byron of her

The whole fabric, then, must stand or fall upon
the veracity of Lady Byron ; there is no other
proof, nor does Mrs. Stowe claim that there is
any. ,
“Now, while we ate willing to concede all
the admirable qualities to Lady Byron which
it is possible for a woman to possess, we are
forced to the conclusion that she either delibe
rately falsified or was cheated into believing as
real what was only a monstrous hallucination
of the brain. Byron’s open immorality has
long been acknowledged, even by the m'-st en
thusiastic admirers of his genius, but we con
tend that there is nothing in his recorded
words or actions which will justify such alle
gations as these. Reckless, defiant sinuer he
may have been, but that he ever steeped him
self iu such bea9tlv criminality as is here set
forth, we do not believe. Nor if he did, do we
imagine for a moment that a woman of Lady
Byron’s purity/and principle would have con
sented, from any motive however high and no
ble, to have not odlj cloaked his iuiamv with
her own unspotted garments, but accepted
him as her husband and the father of her child.’
The Republican then refers to an article frbm
Blackwood , on the other side of the question,
and thus continues:
“ The article from Blackwood will be found
exceedingly interesting in connection with Mrs.
Stowe’s statement, and is a fair companion
piece to it. To our mind it utterly disproves
Lady Byron’s story as told to Mrs. Stowe, but
it shows, moreover, that Mrs. Stowe was not
the first who had heard of it. -, Ae yet there is
an utter absence of fact or circumstance to sus
tain the horrible charge, and the verdict of the
world, upon the case as it stands now, will be
that it rests wholly upon tbe unsupported as-'
sertion of a womau who was forced to give
some extraordinary explanation Os her unfor
giving conduct towards her husband.”
The Courier-Journal pursues the theme with
indignation and pours the seven vials of wrath
upon the perpetrator of this scandal and the
publisher of it. It says :
“Lord Byron had his crimes, but so low,
vulgar, unnatural, debasing, and monstrous a
crime as iueest could never have had a fascina
tion or attraction for a soul so refined and in
some respects so loity, grand, and magnificent
as bis. Sooner than have even contemplated
it, he would have thrown bis naked head upon
a dunghill or plunged into a furnace of molten
iron. Incest is Dot an impossible crime, hot
it is impossible to any but tbe most groveling
and bestial natures. Tom Jones is portrayed
by Fielding as by bo means a character of
much elevation, but, when he is under tbe erro
neous impression that he has committed incest
by mistake, a feeiing of horror pervade* ill
bis faculties. The author of Robinson Crusoe,
in his life of Moll Flanders, portrays Moll as. A
thief, a harlot, and nearly everything vile^hjjtj ;
when she fiod3 that by mistake she is married
to her brother and has committed incest witsj !i
him, she is more deeply agonized for this thsu
for all the other dc-eds of her most miserable
life.
“ And did Lord Byron, one of the. greatest
and most majestic, spirits of all time, the loue
magnificence of whose genius was like that
of the ocean, live a life of incest? Perish the
thought from men’s minds! Mrs. Stowe,
woman though she is, will have a burning
mountain of curses poured upon her head.”
The next move in this “strange, eventfal
history” will probably be the production of
Byron’s own Memoirs, copies of which are
known to be in existence. The time has
surely come for their appearance in public.
Henrietta Greer Again Reprieved.—
The sheriff of Bibb county received a tele
gram late Thursday afternoon, from Gov.
Bullock, directing him to suspend the exe
cution of this notorious murdress until the
seventeenth day of September next, and the
next telegram sent will probably order her
to be turned loose upon society, free to pen
petrate a similar murder whenever she may
feel inclined to do so. Her guilt is a well
established fact, not only by the evidence
produced at iter trial, but by her own con
fession, that mas been made freely to aU
who converse# with her on the subject.—
The murder Was not instigated by malice
or revenge; neither was the act for which
she . has been tried and condemned, com
mitted under the heat of passion. It was a
systematic, cold-blooded, heartless, brutal
murder, the avowed object of which was to
gain the pitiful sum of three dotftrrs and
twenty cents,; which the poor victim of her
brutality had about her person.
