To Disabled Soldiers.
The Macon Messenger says that every
day poor fellows are reaching Macon, af
ter traveling hundreds of miles anil spend
ing their last dollar, in the expectation of
securing limbs immediately. They are
disappointed in not finding Dr. Bly ready
to attend to their orders, and are obliged to
wait, at hiavy expense, or return disap
pointed. Dr. Bly will doubtless give pub
-1 ic notice when lie is ready to fill orders.
The Existence of the Sun.
An exchange calls attention to tho fact
that an eminent mathematician lias de
molished various theories of solar heat,
and demonstrated that for 30,000,000 years
tocouie the sun will continue to afford suf
ficient caloric to sustain human life upon
the surface of the earth. This Is about as
long as any of us will be personally in
terewtisl in the matter, and the prospect of
our descendants being frozen to death is
too remote to cause any serious uneasiness.

The Macon papers caution tho police of

kitchens, anil yet have large amounts of
money. They are both stout men, one
having a red head which lie lately dyed at
Talbutton. A reward of (500 is out for tho

Farming anil Stuck liaising.
The movements being inaugurated In
various sections of tho Statu for the forma
tion of n p ricult nral societies are very cheer
ing indications. In Homo localities espe
cial attention is being directed to sheep and
stock raising. This ought to be an inviting
field to all Southerners who arc possscssed
still ofricli and abundant lands and means
enough to improve their cattle, sheep, hogs
and horses, foinpnmtivcly little labor is
run wired for this business, and if pursued
with good judgment and industry it will
be found in a short time to furnish the
means of living to a greater number of
people and with greater pleasure and profit
to liio owners than anything else.
Wester 11 Emigration.
The Columbus .Sit n notices the passage
through that city of txvo families 011 their
■way to Texas. A number are preparing
to leave that city for Mississippi. The Wist
Xewnan Herald states that large numbers
of negroes are leaving that part of Georgia,
ostensibly for Toimessie, Arkansas and
Mississippi, allured axvay by tempting of
fer* of high wages, it says that about txvo
hundred— men, xvomen anil children —
have boon itidneed to leave Coweta county
xvithin the last six weeks.
Tho drain upon our population is rer
lainly very unfortunate, anil its effects up.
on the future of our old commonwealth
net pleasant to contemplate.
A Fox Outwitted.
The Telegraph tells of an artist for Har
per's Weekly named Fox, xvlio obtained
among other tilings some valuablo books
from l.eo Jordan, near MiUedgeville, du
ring Sherman's march to the sea. A friend
of Mr. Jordon's being in Noxv York recent
ly, met Fox, xvho showed him various
Southern relies, among which was a book
xvith Mr. Jordan'smunein it, under which
xvas written— I "Procured by Stanley Fox,
artist for Harper's Weekly. ' This gentle
man coolly tooK it pen and xxwote imme
diately "beloxv it—“ Re-captured by 1.. W.
Buffington," and told Mr. Fox that he
thought the original owner entitled to it,
and ho would convey it to him. Mr. Jor
dan noxv has tho volume in his possession.
Plant Trees.
If “tho man xvho makes two blades of
grass to grow xvhero but one grew before"
is the true benefactor —as tho old adage
avers -how much greater service to man
kind is rendered by those xvlio plant flowers
and fruit trees—the one contributing to
make houto attractive, and the other afford
ing in due time a substantial dividend in
dollars and cents for the care bestowed up
on them. Tho season of the year best
suited to transplanting, is noxv at hand,
and a very limited expenditure will yield
a return of beauty and enjoyment which
xx ilI amply repay all trouble and expense.
Bulbus roots planted now will bloom in
early spring ; strawberries also xvili yield,
oven the first season, a lucious return for
the care of planting ; xvhile only two or
three years arc required to produce limits
of almost every variety. Even those xvlio
live on rented premises will be repaid lor
attention given to this subject; and even
ifthey are not, the pleasure which their
expanding growth and beauty affords, is
ample reward for the limited attention
they require. Therefore let everybody
plant flowers and fruit trees.
Stock Raising in Tennessee,
The Galiatin (Summer county) Examiner
prints tlie account of sales of stock bv Mr.
C. E. Douglass, in that county, last xveek,
of some stock of bis own raising, which
xvas a surplus, and "sold for no fault,"
but as so much ordinary income from his
farm products. The sale included ten
horses, marcs and colts, at an average,
of $222 25 per head—a. number pf hogs,
Essex breed, sold from sl7 to {'ll) each—a
lot of Southdown sheep, at from $8 to $25
per head. The total sale amounted to $4, -
800.
Portions of Georgia are nearly, if not
quite, as well adapted to stcx-k raising as
Tennessee. Our mountain region, as well
ns the wire grass country, is peculiarly
adapted for sheep-raising, and there is no
good reason why the w 001-elip should not
be as valuable as the cotton crop. Increas
ed attention to stock of all kinds is de
manded by the peculiar situation of the
country. The first step is to get rid of the
scrub animals that infest the country.
This must be done by improving the
breed, and by keeping stock well-housed
and well-fed in winter. The purest blood
ed animals on earth will very soon dete
riorate if left to browse in the woods, ex
posed to the Weak winter weather, with
only an occasional handful of coarse
shucks, or half-cured hay,so-called, much
of which isgatliered after the blade is dead,
and affords little nutriment. Better keep
one or two cows, and keep them well
—than a dozen of Pharaohs loan kine, who
have to lean against the side of ihe barn
to cast a respectable shadow. Much
might, and we believe ought to be, written
on this subject; but our present purpose
is to call attention to the aliove evidence
shat stock-raising may be made profitable
in this country, and throw out a hint or
two for the thoughtful to reflect upon.
A Homestead I.aw.
The Richmond Enqn-rer is warmly urg
ing the adoption of a liberal homestead
law for Virginia. The condition of the
country at this time affonls convincing
illustration of the importance and justice
of such a law in Georgia.
While the present exemption might in
clude a very mean hovel in the country,
any sort of a domicil in our towns and ci
ties would exceed in value the sum em
braced within its provisions. Is there any
justice in exempting even the humblest
farmer's home, while the cot of the town
laborer or mechanic is subject to levy and
sale? The whole exemption is little ilet
ter than a sham ; for real estate of the value
of two hundred dollars is now inadequate
to support or even decently shelter a fami
ly. It was doubtless otherwise when the
State was first settled. Then the average
valuation of a log-cabin and fifty acres of
the best lands would have come within the
amount embraced in the present law.
Then, there were few towns —the chief in
terest of the country being the cultivation
of the soil. Anew order of things now ex
ists; and the policy of extending encour
agement to tho location of a permanent
population, and of fostering tho arts, is too
apparent to need argument. California
lias a homestead law covering a home
worth (5,000 j New York, (1,200; and some
of the other States similar laws, designed
to cover a comfortable domicil. If such a
law had existed in Georgia, previous to the
war, there would he less necessity for acts
of special relief for tho people from their
old obligations. If the homes of the peo
ple were exempt from sale fur debt neither
the material interests of the country nor the
■comfort of families would be wholly sacrifi
ced in the greedy scramble of creditors for
the collection of old indebtedness.
A homestead l<iw conduces to the stabili
ty, as well as respectability of a popula
tion ; developing those elevated and en
nobling home sentiments which greatly
adorn the character. We therefore hope
to see a bill presented to our next Legisla
ture so enlarging the exemption law of
Georgia as to make it of some practical
value in the future.
Shocking Affair.
A freed man named Harry Thomas was
killed in Columbia county early on yester
day morning, under the following circum
stances : It appears that Thomas was act
ing as overseer on a plantation owned by
two Northern men, and a few days ago had
a dilliculty with a man named in
which he knoeked Smith down with a
brick. Thomas came to Augusta and laid
the affair before Gen. Tillson, who turned
him over to the civil authorities of Colum
bia county, givinghima lettertotho sheriff.
Thomas returned, and was at his own
house on Monday night, when it appears
that the house was surrounded by a largo
number of armed persons, who demanded
admittance. He told them to wait until ho
dressed, and his wife says she immediate
ly ran out of the back part of tho house,
thinking to divert attention from her hus
band, who started out on the other side.
She says she was fired upon, anil stopped,
when tier husband fired on one of the
party, and in return received a volley caus
ing his death. His body was pierced by
nineteen bullets,
This is the version given by the military
authorities, and while we have not heard
thoother side of the affair, it is evident that
a great outrago lias been committed.
Whatever tho offense of Thomas, ho was
in tlie hands of the civil authorities, and
there was no excuse l'or tho manner in
which redress was sought. Sucli contempt
for law is not only wrong, but inflicts
grievous injury upon tho whole South.
While it is deplored by all good citizens,
it gives capital to our enemies, and
affords an argument for those who charge
that we are not disposed to do justico to tho
negro. We learn that a detachment has
been sent ont to arrest tho parties to this
outrage, and xve hope that full and im
partial justice may bo meted out to- them.
Since tho above was written, a report lias
reached us that Thomas was killed by a
man who xwis assaulted by him some timo
ago, and had just recovered from liis in
juries, and that only one or txvo friends ac
companied him in his visit to the house of
Thomas.
Presentments by the Grand Jury of Rich,
mend County.
The Grand Jury of the second xvoek find
but few matters of interest to recommend
to the attention of the Court, save those
especially mentioned by His Honor, tlie
Judge, in his eloquent* and impressivo
charge.
We are informed that (lie Jury Box
needs a thorough revision ; that the list at
present contains the names of a num
ber of persons (many of xvhom were
regularly drawn at the present term) who
are no longer to he numbered among our
citizens—some being dead, others having
removed from the county. The frequency
with xvlilch tlie performance of Jury duty
lias, of late, fallen upon the same indi
viduals, urges us to this recommendation.
A great change lias taken place in tho
.status of the community within the last
fexv years, and a largo number of com
paratively new residents have taken up
their abode among us. These should, in
justice, be required to share the duties,
while they enjoy the privileges of
citizens, ana xve recommend that the re
quisite instructions be given tlie oflieers ot
tho Inferior Court, whose duty xve believe
it is, that the names of non-residents be
dropped from tho Jury Box, and those of
new citizens added to the list to fill their
places.
A change in the time oQ the session of
the Superior Court for this county would,
also, add greatly- to the convenience of the
citizens, and xve think, also, to that of the
Court. Under the present arrangement
both Terms occur during the business sea
sons of the year, at a time xvhen the busi
ness of both" tho planter and the merchant
must suffer much from his absence anti
the length of the sessions, and the large
amount of business usually" transacted by
this Court, justifies us in requesting that
the time appointed for its sessions be so
arranged as to gix'o as little inconvenience
as possible to our citizens. We would,
therefore, suggest to our Senator and Rep
resentatives to solicit the Legislature to
change the time to the second Mondays in
January and June.
A late change made by tlie Legislature
in the law, regarding the payment of juries
in civil oases, it is found by experience re
sults in depriving juries of all payment for
their services and time. This is so mani
festly unjust to that class of our citizens,
particularly, xvho reside at a distance from
1 he county seat, and xvho are at considerable
expense, as well as inconvenience, during
the time their services are required, that
xve trust a recommendation to our Senator
and Representatives to bring the matter to
the attention of the legislature, xxill result
in a favorable change in the law. The old
law provided, xve believe, for tho payment
of one dollar per day to each juryman, to
be paid out of the County Treasury, on the
certificate of the Clerk of the Court, and
this laxv seems to us the most satisfactory.
As regards the subject of education, on
which so much has been said in Grand
Jury presentments, xve would simply urge
upon our county authorities renewed and
continued efforts to obtain possession of
our beautiful Academy and its belongings,
xvhieh arc still in possession of the milita
ry authorities. The state of our communi
ty is not now such as to require an armed
force in our midst to preserve order. Our
police regulations seem to bo amply suffi
cient for that purpose, xvhile the Arsenal
and grounds, near the citv, belonging to
the Government, xve should think amply
sutlieient for their accommodation and
amply convenient for all purposes requir
ed.
With these few remarks, and with a
cordial endorsement of the points brought
to your consideration by the Grand Jury
of the first week, we close our labors, with
thanks to His Honor, Judge Hook, for his
kindness and consideration, and also take
groat pleasure in commending the marked
ability and zeal with which the interests
ofthe State arc represented by ourable aud
indefatigable Solicitor General, John P. C.
Whitehead.

BE VIEW OF THE A l BIST A MARKET,
FOR THE WEEK ENDING OCT. 20TH, 1866.
[lt should be borne in mind that our
quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a
shade higher rates, j
REMARKS.—Business has been quite ac
tive during the week, and the receipts of
cotton by wagons have been large. The dry
goods market is firm and active, with an
advancing tone, owing to the recent ad
vance in cotton. The provision market
during the week lias been steady, with an
advance in corn and flour, which are scarce
and in demand. There has been an im
provement in bacon, and stocks are much
reduced, especially in strictly prime meat,
which is in active request.
The weather has been delightful all the
week, affording the planters a fine oppor
tunity for gathering their crops, and great
ly favoring the development of late cotton.
Reports from the cotton districts are more
favortible than they have been for several
weeks, and with two or three more weeks
of good weather the opinion appears to be
general that somethiifg like a third of a
crop, or 1,500,000 bales, will be realized.
COTTON.—We left our market quiet on
the morning of our last report—all parties
waiting for Liverpool advices—the ruling
prices being for middling, 36 cents; strict
middling, 36}@37 cents; good middling to
middling fair, 37i cents. During the day
there was an improvement in prices, and
in the evening we reported the sale of 350
bales at 37 to 38} cents for middling to good
middling. On Monday prices remained
the same, and sales of 241 bales were re
ported at the above figures. On Tuesday
the market opened favorably, but during
the day a decline in New York was report
ed, and buyers generally withdrew, the
sales of the day being 135 at irregular
prices. On Wednesday the market con
tinued inactive, and no quotations were
given, tho sales being 202 bales at 37 to 3S
cents. On Thursday buyers still held

Sales, 268 bales at 35 to 37 cents for

FINA NCIAL.—The money market has
been exceedingly stringent during the
week, the derangement in communication
with tho North, occasioned by the storm,
having detained large shipments of cur
rency intended for this market. Some of
them have come to hand, affording partial
relief, but tbe'Jsupply of funds is inade
quate to the demands of trade, consequent
ly loans are made at extraordinary figures.
