OUR FUTURE POPULATION.
In our comments in Sunday’s issue, on
Mr. David Dickson’s calculation as to the
future population of this country, we only
endeavored to show that, by his own basis of
an increase of 8,000,000 every seven years,
the population would not amount in 1959
to more than 78,000,000. But while con
sidering Mr. Dickson’s calculation of 507,-
000,000, astounding, we are satisfied that
the aggregate of the sum, as worked out by
us, is much too small. We however, hold
that the theory that the population of the
United States will increase 18 fold in the
next 90 years, because it did so increase for
the past 90 years, is unreasonable and falla
cious, from the fact that the increase for
the first decade of the Government, from
1790 to 1800, was about one hundred per cent.;
and to warrant the same conclusion for the
future, we must anticipate a like increase
for the first decade in the next 90 years,
which would give the enormous number of
inhabitants in 1880 of 78,000,000.
Let us take the statistics of Georgia.
Her population since the formation of the
Government has been as follows:
Whites. Total.
1790 52,886 82.548
1800.... 101,678 162,101
1810 145,414 252,433
1820 189,566 840,983
1830 296,806 * 516,823
1840 407,695 691,392
1850 521,572 906,185
1860 591,588 1,057,286
It will be seen from these figures that the
per centage of increase the first ten years
was 96%; for the next ten years about 66;
the third decade, 35; the fourth, ; the
fifth, about 84p-the sixth, 31; and the
seventh decade, only about 16)£ per cent.
Taking the last decade of ten years, from
„ 1860 to 1860, as a fair basis to predicate the
future on, and granting that the negroes
will not increase as heretofore, we think it
would be safe to say that, without a very
large number of immigrants, the popula
tion of our State will increase, in the next
ninety years, at the rate of fifteen per cent,
every decade, which would give the follow
ing results:
1870 (supposed) * 1,200,000
1880. 1,380,000
1890 1,587,000
1900 1,824,000
1910 2,100,000
1920 2,415,000
1980 2,785,000.
1940 3,205,000
1960 3,700.000
This would be about three times the
present number, and if the same per cent
age is applicable to the whole country,
would give au aggregate of inhabitants, in
1960, of about 120,000,000. But, from the
large immigration flowing into the coun
try, outside of Georgia, we should deem
twenty-five per cent., every decade, a nearer
estimate for the whole country, and that
would give about 200,000,000 in 1960. Even
this number is small, when the area of
territory is considered, as compared with
other countries.
We entirely agree with Mr. Dickson’S
views as to dense populations centralizing
governments, and fully believe that virtue
and religion are cherished to a greater de
gree in moderately settled than in more popu
lous countries ; and if all the States of the
Union were moving pan passu In the matter,
it would be wisdom for us to check rather
than encourage immigration. Bat as the
Government has become centralized by the
immigration which flooded the sections that
were hostile to us, and has been changed
mainly by their aid from one of free con
sent to one of force ; and as each State and
section is striving for empire, we desire to
see our State speedily increase in popula
tion and grow in strength, that she may be
a power in the councils of the Government.
As to the evils such a course may inflict in
the far-off future, we can only say that we
have every faith that the men of the futuva,
with the aid of will be able
to meet them.

The Late George Peabody.
INCIDENTS OF HIS LIFE HIS ACTS OF
BENEFICENCE AND PHILANTHROPY.
The death of George Peabody, which was
announced yesterday as having taken place
on the evening of Thursday, November 4,
at his residence in Eaton Square, London,
calls for a more extended notice of his life
and of his many acts of benevolence than
■we were then enabled to give. Every cir
cumstance connected with the life of a man
whose munificent deeds of judicious phi
lanthropy have won for his name a prouder
position on the roll of fame than generally
falls to the lot of heroes aDd statesmen,
will be read with interest by those who are
the immediate recipients of his bounty, as
well as by the world at large.
Mr. Peabody sprung from good old Eng
lish stock. Six generations back his an
cestor was Francis Paybody, of the ancient
famiiy of Paybodys, of Leicestershire, in
England, who at an early age left St. Al
bans, in Hertfordshire, and went to New
England. For twenty-two years he ap
pears to have resided in various parts of
the country, but in 1057 he finally settled
at Toptteld, a small town in Essex county,
Mass., where he ever after resided. The
residence that he erected and the mill (the
first one in the town) that he built are
standing at the present day, venerable in
their two centuries of age. He was wealthy
—that is, wealthy compared with his neigh
bors—and being, in addition, a man of
education and respectability, naturally at
tained to prominence. His wife was Mary,
daughter of Reginald Foster, by whom he
had fourteen children, from the eldest son
of which the late Mr. George Peabody was
descended. Francis Paybody died in 1698,
at the advanced age of eighty-four years.
He left behind a large landed estate, which
was divided principally among his six sons.
The descendants of these have been distin
guished for their mental and moral worth.
During our revolutionary struggles they
espoused the patriot cause, and their devo
tion to the embryo Union was more than
once severely tested.
The birth of Mr. Peabody, at Danvers,
Mass., on the 18th of February, 1795, the
events of his early life, his removal to
Georgetown, D. 0., and thence to Balti
more, his subsequent career as one of the
eminent bankers of London, and his mag
nificent gifts for purposes of education and
benevolence, were yesterday referred to.
In the early part of Mr. Peabody’s resi
dence at Georgetown, occasion arose to
call forth qualities which, probably few
would have expected to have found in Mr.
George Peabody. The war so long threat
ened now appeared inevitable, 'for the
British fleet had ascended the Potomac,
and were menacing the capital. This
aroused the patriotism of the young mer
chant. Though he had not reached the
age at which military service could be ex
acted, he joined a volunteer company of
artillery, and soon found himself on duty
at Fort Warburton, which commanded the
river approach to Washington. The ex
pected attack, however, was not made, and
Mr. Peabody returned to the peaceful and
to him more congenial avocations of com
merce. For this service, together with a
previous short service at Newburyport
Mr. Peabody lately received one of the
grants of one huudred acres of land, be
stowed under certaiu conditions by act of
Congress upon the defenders of the republic
at this perilous time.
DEEDS OF LIBERALITY.
On more than one occasiou Mr. Pea
body’s judgment, integrity and vast finan
cial resources have been of eminent public
service both to his native laud and to the
land of his adoption. During the commer
, cial crisis in 1835 he was made, under an
act of the Maryland Assembly, one of
three commissioners to negotiate a loan
. for this State. The transaction was suc
cessfully completed. In recognition of this
and other services, the General Assembly
of Maryland, in 1848, expressed in publle
resolutions the obligations of the State to
him. In 1851 he himself bore i the whole
expense of arranging the American depart
ment of the great exhibition in London.
The following year, when Mr. Henry
Grinnell, of New York city, generously
offered his vessel, the Advance, for a sec
ond expedition, under Dr. Kane, to the
Arctic seas, in search of Sir John Frank
lin, Mr. Feabpcjjr came forward, and by a
gift of SIO,OOO, defrayed the expenses of
the voyage. In the same year, when the
citizens of his native town, Danvers, cele
brated the hundredth year of their corpo
rate existence, Mr. Peabody, though un
able to be present at their festivities, gave
a tangible proof of his interest in them by
presenting a gift of $20,000 to found an in
stitution and library for the people. To
this anniversary gift he has since added
large donations, amounting in all, along
with the original sum, to upwards of
$200,000.
THE PEABODY INSTITUTE.
Visiting his native country in 1857, after
an absence of nearly ten years, Mr. Peabody
fulflilled his intention, formed long before,
of founding in the city of Baltimore an in
stitute upon a much more extensive scale
than the above. The scheme was to com
. prise a large free library; the periodical de
ivery of lectures by eminent literary and
scientific men, an academy of music, and a
gallery of art.
For this purpose he donated first $300,000,
and soon after $200,000 more. Oh his visit
in 1866 he gave $500,000 additional, and on
his last visit another donation of $400,000,
making in all $1,400,000. The corner-stone
was laid in 1858, and the institution is now
in operation, with the exception of the
gallery of art, which awaits the erection of
the additional building, of the same dimen
sions as the present one, on the adjoining
lot.
HONORS TO MR. PEABODY.
During his sojourn in the United States
in 1858, towns and public bodies vied with
each other in seeking to honor their dis
tinguished countryman. With his char
acteristic modesty, Mr. Peabody declined
all such proposals with a few exceptions
—one from his native town of Danvers,
Mass., and one from citizens of Baltimore,
held at the Maryland Institute, and made
an address in response to a speech of wel
come. The next day he received the chil
dren of the public schools, who passed him
in review in front of the Peabody Institute.
The demonstration of the children of the
public schools was in grateful recognition
of Mr. Peabody’s grant of $1,200 per year
as prizes to the pupils of the male aud
female high schools of the city, and the
Maryland Institute School of Design. Mr.
Peabody also, about the same time, re
ceived the ladies of Baltimore at the new
Assembly Rooms. In addition to all this,
Congress, after his Southern donation,
voted him a resolution of thanks and a gold
medal as a mark of the Republic’s appreci
ation of his services in the cause of educa
tion; several of the State Legislatures
passed complimentary resolutions, while
from all parts of the country came eulo
gistic expressions regarding him. No pub
lic man was ever received with more sin
cere pleasure than he, wherever he went;
THE LONDON POOR.
Towards the close of 1858 Mr. Peabody
again returned to England. Some years
subsequent to this date he set about giving
effect to his long cherished intention of
doing something for the benefit of the la
boring poor of London. His principal do
nations for this purpose have already at
tained a world-wide celebrity, and whether
we consider the magnitude of the gift, or
the wisdom that has dictated the mode of
its application, this will appear one of the
grandest schemes of beneficence on record,
either in ancient or modern times.
The sums bestowed and the dates of, their
announcement are: March 12, 1862, £150,-
000, January 29,1866, £IOO,OOO, and Decem
ber 5,1868, £IOO,OOO, making a grand total
of £350,000 given “to ameliorate the con
dition and augment the comforts of the
poor ” of Loudon. Well might the Qheeu
of England designate it “ the noble act of
more than princely munificence.”
The same feelings that led Mr. Peabody
to decline the public acknowledgment of
the cities of his native land in 1857 pre
vented him from accepting the honors
which Englishmen were ready to shower
upon him. The freedom of the city was
bestowed upon him by the corporation of
London, and acknowledgments from many
other public bodies were freely offered.—
The only occasion on which he appeared In
public was at the close of the Working
Classes’ Exhibition In Guild Hall, in 1866,
when he received an enthusiastic welcome,
which even royalty itself might envy.
A short time before his sailing for Amer
ica in 1866, a proposal was made to confer
ou Mr. Peabody either a baronetcy or the
Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, but
he declined them both. When asked what
gift, if any, he would accept, he replied:
“A letter from the Queen of Eugland, which
I may carry across the Atlantic and de
posit as a memorial of one of her most
faithful sons.” To this modest request a
ready response was given, aud the letter,
accompanied by a portrait of her Majesty,
is deposited in the Peabody Institute, at
South Danvers, Mass.
During his visit to America, Mr. Peabody
may be said to have eclipsed his former seif
in generosity, if that were possible. Even
to those acquainted with the donations he
had already made in the United States and
England, the number and munificence of
oeneractions during his last visit will ap
pear almost incredible. To Phillips’Acade
my, in Andover, he. gave $25,000; to the
Newburyport library, $15,000 ; to building
anew church in Georgetown, Massa
chusetts, $100,000; to a library in the same
town; $16,000; to the Essex Institute,
Salem, $140,000; to the library atThetford,
Vermont, $5,000; to the Massachusetts His
torical Society, iu Boston, $20,000; to the
Peabody Institute of Archaeology, at Cam
bridge, $150,000; to found a geological
branch at Yale College, $150,000; to the
Peabody Institute, at Baltimore, the addi
tional gift alluded to above of $500,000; to
tim Maryland Historical Society, $20,000; to
Kenyon College, Ohio, $25,000; to the
Southern Educational Fund, $1,500,000, to
which he afterwards added an additional
million ; for a library in Georgetown,D. C.,
$15,000, making altogether over three and
a half millions of dollars.
Os his relatives in America he has not
been unmindful, distributing among them
$1,400,000. During the rebellion he had also
given SIO,OOO to the sanitary fund.
To the fortune which Mr. Peabody pos
sessed at the ti me of his residence in Lon
don, it is variously estimated that he added
from $20,000,000 to $30,000,000.
HIS RETURN TO ENGLAND AND LAST VISIT TO
AMERICA.
At the close of a year’s sojourn in Ame
rica, Mr. Peabody took his departure for
England, and early in 1868 made a brief
tour of the Continent. While at Rome he
was presented to the Pope, who gave him
a most flattering reception. Before leaving
he presented the charitable institutions of
the city with a liberal donation, reported
by some correspondents at $1,000,000. The
precise sum, however, has never been ascer
tained. Soon after he proposed to make
another visit to America, and the Queen,
upon learning that he would, probably not
return to England, expressed a desire to
see him. He was accordingly presented to
her. On the 10th of June he arrived in
New York, and within a month had pre
sented the additional $1,000,000 to the
Southern Educational Fund. During the
Summer months he came to Baltimore and
went to the White Sulphur Springs, Va.,
for the benefit of his health, which had be
come feeble.
At one time he was so low that fears
were entertained of his life, but by careful
nursing he recovered. Shortly before leav
ing the Springs lie presented Washington
College (Gen. Lee’s) with SOO,OOO, and on
his return to Baltimore, on the 23d of Sep
tember, donated $400,000 to the Peabody
Institute. He made some other donations
of smaller amounts, which we cannot at
present recall. He seemed happy only when
giving of his wealth for benevolent pur
poses.
During Mr. Peabody’s absence from En
gland a statue ot him was unveiled In Lou
don. The ceremony wns performed before
a vast concourse of people, by the Prince of
Wales, who made a speech highly laudato
ry of Mr. Peabody. This statue was erect
ed by the merchants of London as a mark
of their respect and esteem for the distin
guished American.
FAREWELL TO BALTIMORE.
On the 23d of September last, when Mr,
Peabody made his final donation of $400,-
800, In addition to the million with ,which
he had previously endowed the Peabody
Institute of this city, he said, in a letter
which he addressed t 6 the trustees at a
meeting in Baltimore: “ Early on the mor
row, gentlemen, I leave your great and
prosperous city, and on taking leave of
you, probably, from the state of my health,
for the last time, you have my best wishes
for your health and happiness, and for the
continued and enduring prosperity and
usefulness of the Peabody Institute of the
city of Baltimore.”
BACK TO ENGLAND TO DIE.
On the 30th of September of the present
year Mr. Peabody took his departure for
London, to the regret of his fellow-citi
zens, who had hoped that his last days
would be spent in his native laud. It was
not to be so. Boon after his arrival his
illness returned, and, as stated in the firet
bnes of this sketch, he died in London on
Thursday evening, in the seventy-fifty vear
of his age. J
Mr. Peabody never married—a fact that
occasioned many speculations. At one
time it was rumored that he was about to
marry Miss Burdett Coutts, but the rumor
proved to be false.
well built. His countenance had all the
appearance of that benevolence for which
he was distinguished, and in manner* he
was most genial and inviting.
The Cannibal’s Chant.
BY N. S. GILBERT.
’Twas on the shores that round our coast
From Deal to Ramgatu’s span,
That I found alone, on a piece of stone,
Au elderly naval mac.
His hair was weedy, bis beard was long,
And weedy and long was he;
And I heard this wight, on the shore recite,
In a singular minor key :
“ Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold,
Ahd the mate of the Nancy brig,
And a bo’san tight, and a midsbipinite,
And the crew of the captain’s gig.”
“ Oh, orderly man, its little I know
Os the duties of men of the sea,
And I’ll eat my hand if I understand
How you cau possibly be
“ At once a cook and a captain bold,
And the mate of the Nancy brig,
And a bo’san tight, and a midshipmite,
And the crew of the captain’s gig !”
Then he gave a hitch to his trowser6,
which
Is a trick all seamen larn ;
And, having got rid ol a thumping quid,
He span this painful yarn:
“ 'Twas in the good 6hip Nancy Bell
That we sailed to the Indiau sea,
And there on the reef we came to grief,
Which has often occurred to me.
“ And pretty nigh all o’ the crew wa6
drowned !
(There was 6eventy-sevcn soul).
And only-ten ol' the Nancy's meu
Baid ‘ Here ’ to the muster-roll.
“ There was me and the cook and the cap
tain bold,
And the mate of the Nancy brig,
And the bo’sun tight, and the midshipmite,
And the crew of the captain’s gig.
“For a mouth we’d neither wittlea nor
drink,
Till a-huDgry we did feel;
So we drawed a lot, and accordin’ shot
The captain for our meal.
“The next lot fell to the captain’s mate,
And a delicate dish be made;
Then our appetite with the midshipmite,
We seven survivors stayed.
•* And then we murdered the bo’aun tight,
And he much resembled pig;
Then we wittled free, did the cook and me,
On the crew of the captaiu’s gig.
“ Then only the cook and me was left,
And the delicate question, • which
Os us two goes to the kettle?’ arose,
And we argued it out as sich.
“ For 1 loved that cook as a brother I did,
And the cook he worshipped mo ;
But we’d be blowed if we’d .either be
stewed
In the other chap’s hold, you see.
“ * I’ll be eat if yon dines ofl me,’ says
Tom,
‘ Yes, that,’ says I, ‘ you’l be.’
• I’m boiled if l die, my friend,’ says I;
And ' exactly so,’ says he.
“ Says he, ‘dear James,to finish mo
Were a foolish thing to do,
For don’t you see that you can’t cook me,
While I can—and will—cook you!’
“ So, he boils the water and takes the salt
And the pepper in portions tine,
(Which he never forgot), and some chopped
shallot,
And some sage and parsley too.
“ And he stirred it round, and round and
round,
And he sniffed at the foaming froth ;
When I ups with his heels and smothers
bis squeals
In the scum of the boiling broth.
“ And I eat that cook iu a week or less,
And—as I eating be
The la6t of his chops, why, I almost drops,
For a weasel in sight I see.
“Aud I never lark, and I never smile,
And I never lark nor play ;
Bnt I sit and croak and a single joke
I have—which Is to say:
“ Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold,
And the mate of the Nancy brig.
And a bo’sun tight, and a midshipmite,
And the crew of the captain’s gig.”
De6Perate Fight. —Yesterday after
noon, a little before sunset, a most des
perate fight occurred in the swamp below
the city, between Capt. Simpson, of the
city police, and ex-policeman M. M. Hall,
who Is now superintending the cutting of
wood on the City Reserve. The facts of
the affair are thus reported to us:
Oapt. Simpson had rode down to where
Mr. Hall was cutting wood, and asked him
wiiy he did not send him a load of wood he
had" ordered. Hall replied in an angry
manner, and told Capt. 8. he had failed to
pay for a load already sent, to which Capt.
S. gave the lie. Hall then told him to get
off his horse and he would cut his throat
for him, and used very profane and abusive
language. Capt. 8. told him all right, h<?
was goiupt ciown, and did so. Mean
while Hall drew his knife aud sprung upon
Capt. 8., inflicting two or three deep and
ugly gashes upon the side of his neck.
Capt. 8. fought back with a stick, and
finally succeeded in knocking the knife out
of Hall’s hands, and, knocking him down,
gave him a terrible beating—such a one as
he will not recover from iu a long while.
Both parties were hurt badly, but neither
fatally, it is thought.— Macon Telegraph, 7th.
Fires in Barnwell— Last Saturday
night, about 11 o’clock, a fire was discov
ered in the carriage shop of Mr. W. H.
Green, at Bamburg, which soon spread to
the restaurant of G. W. Grimes, in the
same building, which was owned by J. C.
Dowling. The building was totally de
stroyed, as was also the store L. G. Hav,
on the opposite corner, and the carriage
shop of W. L. Connelly near by.
On Monday morning last, about 2 o’clock,
the premises of Mr. Alfred Ayer (living
near his father, Gen. L. M. Ayer,) were dis
covered to be on fire, and before the fire
could be arrested there were consumed one
hundred and fifty bushels corn, four bales
cotton, and some eighty or one hundred
dollars worth of provisions. Mr. Aver
spent Sunday night at his father’s, and it
is supposed advantage was taken of his
absence to rob his premises, and then set
them onq* fire. —Barnwell Journal, 6 th.
A Infant Burned to Death. —A little
son of Mr. William Johnson, near Green
wood depot, abont twenty months old, was
burned to death a few days since. His
mother left him in the house with his sister,
but a year or two older than himself, to go
to a neighbor’s, two hundred yards distant,
and was absent abont fifteen minutes.—
When she returned she found the little fel
low sitting in the middle of the floor, his
clothes burned off, and portions of his
flesh on his body, and even his little
tongue, burned almost to a crisp. He
managed to articulate “ ma," as his mother
entered the door, and expired. No one
knows how the little fellow’s clothes took
fire, as his sister is too young to explain.

Falling ok a Warehouse Floor—
Thirteen Colored Men Buried in Gc- ,
AXO.— Mr. Alfred PolllrtalcUr, commiflsloD
merchant and general agent for the Galle
go Fertilizer Company, of Virginia, has
been engaged for some time in storing Pe
ruvian guano and other fertilizers on the
second floor of the warehouse of Mr. Hill
Gowdy, at the foot of Jefferson street. The
gnano is in bags, aud we believe other fer
tilizers in barrels. The barrels were stored
on one side of the room, and the bags of
guano on the other: They were piled on
each side of the room nearly to the ceiling,
! leaving a passage in the middle, which was
being filled with bags of guano. At about
i 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, some twelve
or thirteen colored men were engaged in
this work, when the floor gave way, and
the entire mass of guano, the barrels of
fertilizers and the men were precipitated
to the bottom of the story below, a dis
tance of some twenty-two feet. The men
were covered with the bags and barrels,
and Mr. Poindexter, who hind left the room
but a moment before the catastrophe, set to
work at once to disinter the men, and, al
though several hundred negroes were on
the ground in a few minutes, not one of
them could be prevailed upon to enter the
building to assist In saving the lives at’
their colored brethren. A number of
white men volunteered their services, and
in a very short time the colored men were
rescued from their perilous situation.
One man named Simon Scott had his leg
broken, his ribs crushed in, and received
internal injuries from which he is not ex
pected to recover.
Another man had his arm broken, and
received numerous bruises.
Ano.ther man’s leg was badly sprained,
and three others were severely bruised, but
none of them, with the exception of Scott/
are supposed to be dangerously injured.
Painful rumors were in circulation that
several other colored' men were buried be
neath bags of guano, but Mr. Poindexter
used every means in his power to ascertain
the truth of these reports, and he is per
fectly satisfied that all the men have been
rescued. —Savannah Republican, 7th.
A dangerous counterfeit was stopped at
the First National Bank of Macon on Fri

of the National Bank of Commerce, New

they were poor imitations of the genuine,
with which he happened to be familiar.

Mobile, November B. —Track laying on
the Mobile aud New Orleans Railroad com
menced here to-day. Many citizens wit
nessed the ceremony. The first spike was
driven by Colonel Maun, proprietor of the
Register, who made a pertinent speech, in
the course of which he said he regarded it
as not merely an inauguration of one hun
dred and thirty-eight miles, from Mobile
to New Orleans, but of the great Southern
Pacific route which this company, headed
by such meu as Ames, Sprague and Gard
ner, Rainor & Cos., intend building, the
survey's for which are now being pushed
away west of Mississippi, of which. Mobile*
with the finest harbor ou the Gulf, was the
natural terminus. Branching here by the
two national routes to the East and North
—the Coast line and Chattanooga route—
he said shipping merchants all know that
Mobile is now the cheapest port on the
Gulf for exporting cotton, and (his road
would bring immense quantities of cotton
from New Orleans here for export. That
Mobile was the healthiest of Southern
cities, and on accouut of immense deposits
of cowal aud iron easily accessible to her,
and the pine timber adjacent, she had a
great future as a manufacturing city. No
city we6t to the Pacific coast affords such
advantages.
Col. Smith, an importer, followed,stating
that Mbbile was the cheapest port in the
United States for importing coffee, as he
bad demonstrated It by heavy importations
the last year.
George N. Stewart spoke of the desire
here to encourage Northern capital and
jtenterprlse to come among us. He said the
toad was being built by Northern capital
ists, who were welcome, as all would be
who would come to aid in the development
of our great national resources.
The grading of the road is well advanced,
the iron nearly all here, and an early com
pletion of rail connection with New Or
leans is promised.

Fortieth Annivehsart Election.—
The fortieth annual meeting of the “ Geor
gia” Independent .Fire Company was held
last night, when the following officers were
elected for the ensuing term :
Captain—George Adam.
First Lieutenant—Geo. W. McLaughlin.
Second Lieutenant—Chas. E. Dodd.
Pipctnan—F. B. McCoy.
Assistant Pipemavi—J. J. Doughty.
Engineer—John F. Keen.
Secretary—Geo. W. Broadhurst.
Treasurer—Jacob Danforth.
lu conformity with a time-honored cus
tom, after the current business had been
dispatched, the officers and members, with
a few invited guests, celebrated the occa
sion of the fortieth anniversary of the or
ganization of the “ Georgians,” around the
festive board, spread with abundant in
spiriting and bivalvular refreshments. Al
though uot prepared by a professional
French cook, the oysters were got up in
the best style of the art cuisine, as so well
understood by our genial friend, Col. J. W.
M., who gives piquancy to whatever pass
es his way. The master of ceremonies
was the gallant Second Lieutenant of the
lt Georgians,” who, if not from Paris himself,
certainly had a hat that was, and that a
very great distance from the centre and style
of modern fashion. It may have been, that
as our friend happens to beconsiderably in
the “ tile” business, he had selected the oc
casion to exhibit a sample *f his latest
“ agony.” But neither that hat, nor any
other which fell under our view, exhibited
evidence of having a “ brick ” within, and
the party separated at an early hour in the
evening, with pleasant remembrance of
their happy social celebration of the for
tieth birthnight of an organization which
holds such deserved high rank among the
firemen of Augusta.
A Colored Boy Horribly Mutilated
by a Railroad Train.— On Sunday morn
ing, about half-past six o’clock, a small
colored boy, who serves his mother, a
stewardess on one of the passenger trains
of the South Carolina Railroad, sustained
the loss o' an arm, in the following man
ner: At the corner of Washington and
Reynolds streets he attempted to board the
6:30 passenger train, when he was struck,
in passing, by the guide-post at the corner
of the pavement, which broke his hold on
the railing, causing him to fall with his
left arm across the railroad track. The
cars passed over his limb, crushing it in a
horrible manner. The sufferer was re
moved to the residence of Dr. H. P. Camp
bell, who found it necessary to amputate
his arm at the shoulder. The operation
was performed, and the unfortunate youth
is being kindly cared for on the premises
of Dr. Campbell, not being in a condition
to be removed.
This circumstance furnishes & sad warn
ing to boys, many of whom we frequently
observe boarding the several trains as they
pass through the city. The unfortunate
bey, although in dally service on the train,
and quite a bright and active youth, could
not escape the painful result of the unex
pected accident, by which, even if his life
should be saved, he will be maimed for
life. What can those less familiar with
the danger incidental to boarding a mov
ing train expect?
Fair and Liberal.— The Georgia Rail
road has, with its usual liberality, deter
mined to do the fair thing all round, by
taking, along its line, all articles Intended
for exhibition at the State Fair in Macon
to Milledgevilie for one fare—that is, full
freight going and return free. The road
only carries articles as far, fts Milledgevilie,
because this point is, at present, the ter
minus of the Macon and Augusta Railroad.
From Milledgevilie to Macon the Central
Road must be used.
South Carolina State Fair. —Those
who desire to attend the State Fair Os
South Carolina, commencing at Columbia
on the 10th, (to-morrow), will be passed
and returned over the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad for one fare.
The Sleepy Hollow Tragedy—Trial
op A. P, Woodward^—The Barnwell (S.
S.) Journal, of Saturday, say#: “Wednes
day morning the court met, pursuant to
adjournment, when the case of the State v».
A. P. Woodward, charged with the killing
of John 8. Green and J. G. Holland, known
as the Sleepy Hollow tragedy, which took
place on the occasion of the township elec
tion in July last, was called, and the trial
commenced, the State being assisted by
Mr. Leroy F. Youmans, our former solici
tor, whose ability is well known on this
circuit. The defense is being very ably
conducted by Messrs. A. P, James T. and
Robert Aldrich. Only some seven or eight
witnesses, on the part of the prosecution,
have been examined up to the time of onr
going to press, and it is supposed that the
time of the court will be occupied the rest
of this week with this case, the issue dock
et again not being reached.”
From the special correspondent of the
Charleston Courier we learn that Mr.
Woodward, after numerous challenges, ac
cepted the following named jurors : W. D.
McMillan, Foreman (white), J. F. Falken
stein (white), L. W. Lancaster (white), T.
Vogle (white), J. G. Zeigler (white), J. F.
Sanders (white), L. Robinson (colored), A.
Bush (colored), J. Thompson (colored), T.
L. Myers (colored), W. Allen (colored), R.
Brown (colored).
The testimony in the case is very vo
luminous, there being between twenty and
thirty witnesses on each side.
A Fine Crop of Turnips. —We saw,
yesterday, a sample of the turnip crop of
Judge A. P. Robertson, grown on his
plantation near this city. The Judge has
three acres of this valuable root crop, from
which samples have been taken welghlug
seven pounds and a half, whilst lt Is by no
means uncommon to meet with turnips of
three, four and five pounds each. The sys
tem of culture adopted was, we learn, to
plant in drills, with a liberal application
of stable manure. The seasons have been
exceedingly unpropltlous for the develop
ment of the turnip crop in this section,
only about one good seasonable rain hav,
ing fallen since planting time. We under
stand that Judge Robertson intends to send
specimens of his crop to the Agricultural
Fair at Macon.
A Highly Interesting Entertain
ment. —Mr. Walter Bonn, who has been on
the boards here before, to the great enter
tainment of those of our citizens who
patronize theatrical exhibitions, announces
that, in connection With Mr. J. V. Bowes,
he will afford a highly interesting enter
tainment at Masonic Hall, on Wednesday
night, consisting of a rendition of Dickens’
“ Dr. Marrigold,” selections from “ Nicholas
Nickieby,” and the grand oration of Robert
Emmet. The features of this exhibition
commend it to the liberal patronage of a
large, refined and cultivated circle of our
citizens.
Personal.—W. W. Durand, Business
Manager of John Robiusou’s great com
bination Circus and Menagerie, arrived in

mammoth in its proportions of any of this

aud deserve the attention of nil who desire
to make investments in that direction.
