The Memories of Fifty Years: W. H.
Sparks. J. W. Burke & Cos., Macon, Ga.,
1870.
We have carefully read this volume, and
are, in the main, well pleased with it.
Though sometimes marred by unnecessary
repetitions and hasty composition, it 1s full
of curious information, and revives a thou
sand remarkable events which were rapidly
slipping into oblivion or dim tradition.
The following notice from the Savannah
News is so nearly in accord with our own
judgment that we do not hesitate to adopt
it: '
The early history of our State and the
South, the political parties, the distin
guished men who took position in her coun
cils, forms the substance of this volume.
The book treats especially of middle Geor
gia, its early settlers ; tells us of the Yazoo
purchase, and enumerates graphically the
many incidents once gravely agitating our
sires. There is scarcely any man of emi
nence born in the State during the last
seventy-five years, or even in the South,
Mr. Sparks does not seem to have been
personally acquainted with, and a fund of
anecdote, illustrative of the men, give real
ity to the characters. Jackson, Calhoun,
Clay, Adams and Jefferson occupy con
spicuous positions, and Judge Dooly, John
Forsyth, Colonel Gumming, the Mcln
toshes, the Mercers, Lamars, Talmadges,
Crawfords, Toombs, Stephens, Cobbs, Yan
ceys, and a host, of others, are moving fig
ures in its pages. Occasionally we notice
some inaccuracies as to the spelling of
names, but suppose we must blame
the printers. Some scenes, illustrative
of our early periods, are amusing—how
we dressed and eat, made love and frol
licked—how the pedagogues beat learn-
j D ,r i u to us—how the militia trained—how
early the Georgia Major first appeared amid
the primitive strata, and how the lawyers
rode on circuit, and then, as now, after a
weary day of mental and physical toil, so
laced the inner man on bacon and long col
lards. We are tempted to give a portion of
one of the stories. When Newton county
was organized, the only tavern was at Cov
jugtonr Judge Dooly was presiding Judge,
and Uncle Ned was landlord, who had made
due preparation for his legal guests. He
had killed a h«g and gathered collards.—
One-half of the beast was introduced at
dinner, swi.'.lining in lard, like an island,
with an undergrowth of collards, flanked
by a hash compounded of the heart, lungs
and liver of the said quadruped. The Court,
continued for three days, and as regularly
was the hog and trimmings put on and
taken off the table untouched by the law
yers. After dinner on the last day, Judge
Dooly called attention. “ Landlord 1” said
the Judge. “Your will, Judge,” replied
the host. “ 1 wish you, then,” went, on the
Judge, with becoming gravity, “to dis
charge this hog on his own recognizance.
Few men have had the author’s opportu
nities to wa'ch our growth, and what he
tells of men and incidents is so much part
of ourselves that the book merits a place in
every Southern library.
German Enthusiasm in Savannah.
In Savannah, on Thursday evening, a meet
ing was held by the German citizens for
the purpose of procuring means for the re
lief of the German soldiers wounded in the
present war with France, and for the sup
port of the widows and orphans of those
who are killed. About fifty persons were
present.
The meeting was opened by Dr. L. Knorr.
The Savannah Liedertafel (Singing Socie
ty) sung a patriotic song. After this a
temporary chairman was proposed, and
Mr. Niemann elected to that position. Mr.
Win. Weiss, the editor of the German
paper, was requested to act as Secretaiy
pro tern. Avery moderate but patriotic
speech was made by the chairman, who an
nounced the purpose of the meeting.
A discussion took place as to the best
method by which the Germans in bavan.-
nah could show their patriotic feelings to
ward their countrymen now upon the bat
tle field.
After some debate it was agreed that a
committee should be appointed to take the
matter in hand, and a subscription list was
opened for the purpose of procuring means
for defraying any expenses Incurred in in
augurating the movement, and in a very
few moments quite a handsome amount
was subscribed. It was decided to hoi' a
general meeting on Monday next, the loth
of August, at the Turner’s Hall. In the
meanwhile the committee of arrangements
are to invite visitors and make all neces
sary preparations for the occasion.
Luct Cobb Institute. —The Fall session
of this admirable Georgia Institute, situ
ated at Athens, Ga., will open Wednesday,
September 7, and close December 15. All
information desired can be obtained from
the Principal.
Rev. Ferdinand Jacobs, Principal, at the
late Commencement of the University of
Georgia, had couferred upon him the honor
ary degree of Doctor of Divinity, and has
attained great success and eminence as an
educator. We heartily commend this in
stitution.
The “ War Between the States.”—
Several weeks ago we wrote a lengthened
review of Mr. Stephens’ great work, having
had occasion to do so in consequence of the
reception of an advance copy, which reached
us through a friend. We now acknowledge
the receipt of a second copy from the pub
lishers, for which we are much obliged.—
We understand that the late Dr. Battey
succeeded in selling a large number of copies
of this work. It should be in the hands of
all intelligent persons, to be read for their
own gratification and handed down for the
instruction of their children.
The Watermelon Trade of Augusta.
—Few of our citizens have an idea of the
magnitude of the watermelon trade of Au
gusta, stimulated by the great demand
which has' sprung up in both local and
Northern markets for the fine, luscious
melons produced in Richmond county,
which are not excelled for flavor and
general excellence of quality anywhere.
As affording an insight to the extent of
trade in this fruit, we give below tbe ship
ments made by the several railroads up to
the present time:
Melons shipped via Sooth Carolina Rail
road from July Ist to August 9th : To
New York, 19,103; to Charleston, 6,716.
Total, 25,819.
Total number of melons shipped over the
Georgia Railroad to date, 19,617.
Total number of melons shipped over the
Central Railroad to date, 28,148.
Ibe aggregate of melons shipped from
this point since the opening season reaches
73,584, more, perhaps, by half, than most of
our citizens thought.
Macon and Augusta Railroad.— The
Macon Telegraph is informed by Major
Gardener, the engineer, that track laying
on this road is now progressing at the rate
of a half mile per day, on the Macon cud of
the road. The working force is now just
beyond the point where the road intersects
with the Central Road, and at this point
they have been delayed several days by
having to bridge the Central Road to cross
it. Track laying on the Milledgeville end
of the road is progressing rapidly toward
Macon, and the two forces of track layers
are now only about twenty miles apart, and
the work will be completed by the 15th of
September, and regular passenger and
freight trains will be running over the
entire length of the road by the first of
October. This is very gratifying news,
and wo hope, that all thiiurs will so work
together as to verify it, by or before the
time stated.
A Railroad Conductor Shot.—A
shooting scrape took place on Thursday
night in Charleston between Conductor
Reed, of the South Carolina Railroad,and a
man by the name of Riggs, an under em
ployee of the same road. From tiie Courier's
account, it appears that officer Boyden, of
the road, wanted to put Riggs on Reed’s car
as a train hand. He objected, and gave as
his reason that Riggs was beneath him, as
he knew while he was a police officer of his
being arrested for geese stealing. This got
to Riggs’ ears, who said he would kill Reed,
and on Thursday night proceeded to put
his threat into execution by firing at Reed
in Columbus street, whom he wounded on
the finger and in the side. Iteed returned
tiie fire four or five times, while Riggs was
running down tiie street, but did not touch
him. The police came up,but at Mr. Reed’s
request allowed tiie would-be assassin to
escape.
Card of Chief Enginef.k Bryson.—
The attention of citizens is particularly
called to the card *f the Chief Engineer of
the Fire Department, requesting them here
after not to interfere or assume to give
orders in reference to the management of
fii •es, and also notifying firemen that they
are only expected to respect their company
officers in receiving orders. We are pleased
to see that Chief Engineer Bryson recog
nizes the necessity of such regulations, as
intimated in the Constitutionalist yes
terday morning, and trust that citizens
will at once discover the absolute necessity
of the officers of the Fire Department being
allowed to exercise the duties of their offi
cial positions without interference by those
not members of the department, and that
general respect will be paid to the courteous
request of Capt. Bryson. Otherwise con
fusion must and will prevail at all fires, to
the manifest jeopardy of property.
The Bay Colt. —We understand that
Mr. D. A. Short has been offered $3,000 for
the bay colt which lie entered in the trot
ting race on Friday. This sounds like
high figures, but the magnificent trotting
qualities of the colt, as exhibited on that
occasion, won universal admiration of
those well posted in turf matters. The
time made on the first and second heats, on
a half mile track by this youthful competi
tor for turf distinction, was certainly indi
cative of a capacity for great achievements,
under proper training. The first heat was
made in 2:49 by the colt, which came out
in the second heat but half a neck behind
Wade Hampton, the victor in 2:55.

Banner reports that an Augusta friend,
who has just returned from Tallulah Falls,
had a splendid time. He fell down a pre

ing an ankle and losing a splendid meer
schaum pipe. Which of the Augusta dele
gation had this “splendid time’’must re
main a matter of conjecture for the pres
ent. It can only be definitely ascertained
when they return and are welcomed with a
squeeze by their “bright particnlars ’’ —the
broken-ribbed man being apt to wince un

Academy of Richmond County.
We would call the attention of the citi
zens of Augasta to the advertisement of
this institution, which appears every Sun
day in the Constitutionalist and every
Wednesday in the Chronicle & Sentinel. It
is the design of the trustees that the school
should be exclusively for boys, and that the
course of study should embrace the ele
mentary as well as the higher branches of
an English education and the classics. For
the purpose of carrying out this plan, we
have organized, in connection with the
classical and English department, a pri
mary school, under the direct supervision
of the teachers of said department, and
have employed as our assistant, Mr. James
H. H. Parks, a capable and worthy young
gentleman, a citizen of our own Stale, who
lias just graduated at Emery College. We
have also procured the services of Profes
sor J. Alma Pelot as writing master, at
such hours as will not interfere with those
of his own private school. His reputation
as a teacher of penmanship is thoroughly
established in our city. The scientific de
partment, under Col. Rains, offers excellent
advantages, of which all the students of
the Academy can avail themselves. In the
primary school pupils will be thoroughly
prepared for admission into the classical
and English school. Parents are thus ena
bled to send their little boys to the same
school with their larger brothers. In the
classical and English department boys or
young men will be thoroughly prepared for
any class in any of our colleges or univer
sities which they may desire to enter. We
promise our friends that the course of in
struction will be thorough in every depart
ment. *
In the recitations in mathematics, con
stant use will be made of the black board,
thus causing each scholar to show exactly
what he knows and understands. In teach
ing Latin, scholars will be constantly drill
ed in the grammar, and required to trans
late not only from Latin into English, but
also from English into Latin. Tiie same
plan will be pursued in teaching Greek.—
Great attention will be paid to reading and
elocution, to orthography, penmanship,
geography and history, and to English
grammar and composition. Reviews will
be frequent, and every effort will be made
to promote thorougness of instruction. —
Let parents remember that tiie exercies of
the school will commeuce on the 18tli day
of September, and that the very best time
for entering their children is at the com
mencement of the session. If our friends
will give us a trial, we will do our best to
give them complete satisfaction.

Hephzibah High School.
The Commencement exercises of this
young and flourishing institution were
opened on Sabbath, 24th July, with a ser
mon by Rev. P. H. Mell, D. D., of Athens,
Ga. An audience of about five hundred,
densely packed in the chapel, were held in
unflagging interest for an hour and forty
minutes. The sermon was a rare exhibi
tion of the eloquencethought, unaided
by meretricious or grandiloquent
tinsel. It is enough to sav that the effort
was a masterly vindication of God in
providence, and a source of strong conso
lation to the true Christian. In a word,
it was one of Dr. Moll’s best.
The mornings of Monday and Tuesday
were occupied in the examination of the
various classes, varying from primaries to
those prepared for the junior and senior
classes in college, male and female. Mon
day and Tuesday evenings, and the early
part of lx>th nights, were occupied in read
ing by the girls, and in declamation by the
hoys, for prizes.
The thanks of the audience are due Miss
S. A. Gresham and Miss M. E. Collins for
the beautiful charade that came off ®n Mon
day night under their superintendence. It
was a perfect success, and brought down
the house.
Wednesday morning was occupied by the
young ladies in reading, and the young
gentlemen in declaiming, for a prize. After
this Prof. J. E. Willet, of Mercer Univer
sity, delivered an interesting lecture on
Morse’s telegraph.
The prizes having been awarded to the
various successful competitors, the services
were closed with a benediction by Rev. W.
L. Kilpatrick.
Asa whole the commencement was a de
cided success. We never witnessed a bet
ter display of ability in reading and decla
mation. The pupils were prompt and ac
curate under examination. While we
would not make an Invidious discrimina
tion, we must be allowed to compliment
Mr. James Davis’primary class in arithme
tic, for certainly such proficiency in pupils
so young is at once an occasion for aston
ishment as well as admiration. Mr. Davis
deserves a better fate than that of a forlorn
bachelor. He certainly has a talent for
managing Utile ones.
Rev. W. L. Kilpatrick, A. M., Rev. Wm.
H. Davis, A. M., and Rev. J. J. Davis, A.
M., assisted by Miss S. A. Gresham, merit
the highest encomium for having elevated
to its present peerless position the noble in
stitution under their charge. Their untir
ing industry and distinguished ability have
made for Middle Georgia a school, of its
class, equal to any on the continent. Situ
ated in one of the healthiest localities in
the South, with a widespread patronage
and an intelligent and appreciative Board
of Trustees, the Hephzibah High School is
destined to become the Korhinoor in the
queenly diadem of the South. Quite a vil
lage surrounds the beautiful and commo
dious school building, having two stores, no
whisky and a daily mail. We notice a
splendid two-story mansion now in erec
tion by Capt. J. S. Key, on Broad street.
We have Sabbath School accessible to
the community every Sabbath. The inter
est of the occasion was very much aug
mented by Prof. Hett’s band, from Au
gusta.
Among the learned celebrities present,
engaged in teaching, were Prof. R. T. As
bury, of Forsyth, Prof. Jas. A. Carswell, of
Ackworth, Prof. Henry F. Carswell, of Ir
winton, Prof. G. C. Thomas, of Washing
ton, Go., and the accomplished Miss Sallie
E. Hudson, of the Jefferson High School.

Horrible Murder in Gordon County.
A YOUNG LADY OUTRAGED AND KILLED BY
A NEGRO.
A most fiendish and brutal murder was
committed six miles below Cove City,
Sugar Valley, Gordon county, Ga., on
Saturday, the 6th inst. The unfortunate
victim was Miss Sarah Burns, daughter of
W. T. Burns. The perpetrator of this in
human deed is supposed to be a negro man.
recently employed by a Mr. Boaz, of Sugar
Valley. The uncle of the murdered womin
furnishes the North Georgian with th* fol
lowing details of the horrible crime :
I write this to inform you of the most
horrid murder ever committed in any
country. The deed was done last Saturday,
the 6th inst., in Gordon county, about six
miles below this place. The facts are about
these :
At 5 o’clock, Miss Sarah Burns, daughter
of W. T. Burns, left home to go to her
sister’s, about a mile distant. When a
quarter of a mile from home, she was at
tacked by a fiend in human shape and
dragged into the woods. She screamed
for assistance and was heard by several
persons. All supposed ft was a negro man
whipping bis daughter, until the report of
a gun, accompanied ,by three loud shrieks,
were heard. Immediately two men, by
the name of Pearce, ran to the spot whence
issued the sounds. On arriving there, they
found Miss Burns on the ground in her
last death struggles. She lived but a few
moments.
On examination it was discovered that
the unfortunate woman had been shot
through the body near the waist. Also,
with a large pistol or gun, a terrible blow
had been inflicted just above the left eye,
and which crashed the skull. The effects
of another crashing blow, on the back
part of the head, were visible. Her clothes
were literally torn Into shreds.
On Sunday morning I visited the place
where the murder was committed. I ex
amined the ground closely, and from all
appearances she made a desperate resist
ance. The bashes were torn and twisted in
every conceivable manner. Near where
she lay, when found, was a large sweet
gum stick, which had been broken off near
the roadside. It is supposed she fought
with it till killed.
The murderer Is suspected of being a ne
gro man employed by Mr. Boaz. A short
time previous to the murder, this negro
used unbecoming language to Miss Burns.
On Thursday night he moved his clothes
from Mr. Boaz’s house. He was seen the
day of the murder on the same road near
which Miss Burns was killed.
Great excitement prevails throughout
the country. Search is being made for the
negro in every direction.
The Rome Daily is credibly informed of
the following additional facts in connec
tion with this revolting and inhuman
crime:
The negro, Bill Bowles, who so brutally
treated and shot Miss Burns, was arrested
Tuesday morning and tried before a Jus
tice of the Peace.
The following evidence was disclosed
during the trial:
That on Friday, a negro by the name of
Gilbert met Miss Burns, and she ran from
him. Gilbert was telling the negroes about
it, when Bill Bowles remarked that if she
ran from him he would shoot her.
On Friday, the day of the shooting, Bill
Bowles came home, complaining that he
was sick, breathing very hard as if he had
been running. The whole evidence goes
to prove undoubtedly that Bill Bowles is
the guilty party, and that Gilbert was his
accomplice. The trial was continued until
Wednesday morning.
Thursday night Bill Bowles was taken
by the Ku Klux, but it is not definitely
known whether he has been hung or not.
.. Our informant says that Miss Burns has
died from the injuries received from this
negro devil.
The citizens In Sugar Valley are all
armed and the greatest excitement prevails.
Death op an Old Express Messen

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
London, August 13.—An abstract of
McMahon’s report of the battle of Werth,
or Froschwiler, says on the 6th the enemy
attacked the heights of Guersdorf, opening
with cannon and rifles. The attack was so
violent that at first a division was compet
ed to charge their front. Soon the Prus
sians made a feint from the right bank of
the Saar, followed at noon by a renewal of
the attack on the right wing. A charge of
cavalry and infantry failed to dislodge the
enemy, and at 4 o’clock the French right
was broken, and a retreat upon Saverne
and Neiderbrun became a necessity.

lations on the war, because, it says, a few

New York Circular.
New York, August 10,1870—3, P. M.
The Stock Market has been fairly active
to-day, opening strong and advancing 1%
to 2 per cent, over the closing prices of
yesterday. New York Central and Hudson,
Lake Shore and Erie have been the features,
and the Western Railway shares have been
favorably affected in sympathy with the
generally improved feeling.
Under rumors of new Prussian successes,
and higher quotations for Bonds in London,
Gold declinedifrom 118% to 116%, reacting
to 117%, and since ranging between 116%
and 117%. There were 21 proposals for the
Treasury Gold to-day, amounting to $2,430,-
000 at 114.05 to 117.30 and the award of
SI,OOO,QOQ was made at 117.02 to 117 30.
The Government market continues strong
without much activity, the transactions
being purely on speculative account by
German Bankers.
Yours, respectfully,
Hoyt & Gardner.

Cincinnati, Ohio, August 10, 1870.
Provisions—The tone of the market is
easier throughout, hut stuff is not crowded

probably be difficult; sales were chiefly of
bacon to fill consumptive orders.
Mess Pork— City packed is held at S3O

mand in large way.

13% loose, but not wanted at better than

16% in tierces, with slight sales, but at the
close there is no demand for over 16, and
not much at that; country is merely nomi
nal; prime steam offered at 16, without
buyers; greases, 7%@13, as to quality.
Flour—The market is dull and 15@36
lower on all grades; holders do not press
stocks at the decline, as buyers do not
show much disposition to operate; we

latter for fancy; extra, s6@6 30 ; superfine,
$5 1505 50; and low grades, $4 5005;
