The stand is not as good as it might be, and the wheat does not look thrifty. Corn planting commenced in the county on Monday. Forty odd thousand dollars have been subscribed for a cotton factory in Forsyth, and it is confidently expected the whole stock will be taken this week. Butts County.— The Forsyth Adver tiser says that the planters of this eounty are crazy on the subject of cotton. It esti mates that two-thirds of the area planted this Spring will be devoted to cottOD. There is now a lac’, of corn to carry the country through to the next season. There isa large area in wheat and oats, and the stand is generally good. Corn plant ing has commenced. The fruit crop hag not been materially injured by the recent cold snaps. PI.ANTT.KS NOT HOLDING BACK TILKIR Cotton. —There seems to be an impres sion abroad that planters have still a large portion of their cotton crop on hand. We think the amount is very tnucu over-rated, and that in many cases the impression is erroneous. We received a letter from a subscriber at Bartow, Jefferson county, who states that all the cottou in his section has been shipped to market. Dougherty County Bands. —The Al bany New* says that 250 acres of land, on Flint river, a few miles below that place, sold last week for $2,500. Disappearance of an U. 8. Marshal. —P is rumored that 1 nited States Mar shal William <!. Dickson has disappeared from Atlanta in a very mysterious manner. No particulars given. Ber/ei.ia Hotel Passengers on the morning train from Augusta may get a good breakfast at Bm.-iia. Maj.

Cowardly Assassination of tiif Editor of the Warrknton Clipper Vtsterday morning Mr. Charles Walltoe, the well ki.uwn editor of the Warienton Clipper, was shot dead. It seems that Mr. Wallace had sent in an application to become a Mason lo the Lodge in that place and was re jected, two black balls being cast against him. Mr. Wallace was informed that the only loan who voted against him was a notorious .scalawug and political enemy, a Dr. Darden, and that lie must have drop ped two black halls instead of one into the ballot-box, and who, to make the matter worse, just before the meeting Darden promised a friend of Mr. Wallace, though they were political enemies, that ho would take no part against him in the election. Naturally smarting under the injury done him, Mr. Wallace,in the next Wednesday’s issue of his paper, published an article .commenting very severely on Darden's treacherous course, and denouncing him as a liar and a villain. As soon as the article appeared, Dai den, it seems, stung by the ex posure of his treachery, and, uo doubt, wishing to revenge himself for the numer ous and severe blows whioh Mr. Wallace, an ardent Democrat, had so often dealt through the columns of the Clipper on the scalawags of Warren eounty, planned his death. On Friday morning last, soon af ter breakfast, lie is said to have ensconced himself at a window in the seoond story of a house overlooking the public square, and, armed with a rifle, awaited from this, his place of concealment, the approach ol his enouiy. 110 had not luug to wait. The office of the Clipper was situated on tho same square, and after awhile its editor made his appearance on (ho si reel. Suspecting no dauger j and unprepared for its encounter, he walk 'd briskly down the thoroughfare, little thinking that not many yards in front ol him lurked tho assassin who sought his life. A lew steps farther and the concealed craven sees t'.utthe time has arrived when he may take his revenge without risking his carcass; the rifle is brought to a steady | rest, the eye ol ihe huntor darts a quick glance through the “sights’’ of the weap on to his human prey; another step, and (here i.i hoard the sharp crack of the rifle, a tiny cloud of smoke is seen to float lazily up toward Heaven fro u the window, and Charles Wallace, pierced in a vital spot by the ball, gives a convulsive spring in the air and falls dead in the street, tilled by the bund of a brutal and cowardly assassin. Mr. Wallace was quite a young uian, but, we believe, leaves a wife and two or three children. He was born in Virginia, but has been living in Warrentou for several years, and was highly esteemed on account of his many noble qualities. He served faithfully uni creditably in the Confederate Army during the war, and had the reputation of being a mau ol great personal courage. His paper has been in tensely Southern in sentiment and was un sparing in its abuse of scalawags and carpet baggers, which has caused its editor to be greatly hated by those two classes. The alleged murderer has been arrested and now is in confinement in Warrenton. The following is the article which was the cause of his being murdered : A CARD. I have long desired to become a nieni beroftho Masonio fraternity, for several masons: Ist. A careful study of its history has oonviuced me that it is, what it professes to be, a beautiful system 01 morality, veil ed iu allegory, and'jlluHlriited by symbols. 2d. The solemn obligations which Ma sons voluntarily assume, have beeu enter ed into by some ol my best friends, as well assume of the wisest and most virtuous men of all ages and countries, since the days of Kiug Solomon. ;id. 1 believe that the essential character istics of Masonry, when not perverted, is charity; and that brotherly love, relief and Truth, are the corner-stones of the Mason ic Temple. Ith. Wherever t .e light of knowledge has dispelled the mists of tguorance, or the torch of solenoo revealed tbo hidden wonders of creation, oral! alter been erect ed to the great Architect of the Universe, there Masonry exerts its lamigii influence, uniting men in adamantine bouds ot brotherly love. 3th. 1 learned from good authority, to [ believe that a sincere desire of being ser viceable to his fellow creatures, would j open the door for any man to every Ma- ; sonic Lodge on the time of the globe, per- j tonal and political dislike to the contrary' ■ notwithstanding. Uuuvr this conception, and actuated by; these motives, I put in an application for membership in the Masonic Lodge of this place; not, however, until an implied re quest to do so, was received from several Mason friends, who assured me that the /ew pels, ns who had poliUeal objections 10 me, had promised not to oppose my membership. The sequel wII show whether or not the sublime Order ot Masonry does not contain liars aud vil lainous traitors, as did Christ's disciples, 1 blame uot the principles of Masonry, that a Judas Is iu fellowship. 1 was bal loted for, after a Committee--the chairman of which was Kev. Dr. R. \V. Hubert—bad | i.nanimovs'y reported my character “/«- * ‘ ■able." Nme Masons voted, all of whom, "ith one exception, were my ochre per - ! v lal/rte Is, The individual who is now known as the exception, is a scalaicag, j who p; mised Dr. Neeson not to vote agaim-t me. When the ballots were count ed, two \oien were found agaiusl uie, and 1 aui sustained iu the heart of every Mason who voted on the occasion iu saying the tno volts were deposited by the one man who />> to vote at all, and ac- ‘ quiesce in my denunciation of that iudi vidua) as a anil rdla.n. That indi vidual is in u. VV. Darden. The peculiar laws of XI ' ...■ lets him no mitehipt of I justice in the l.inlyc. To the people ol \\ arreu county I have * ever been true. To my friends and mv country, mv life has been, and is, freely offered. While 1 have been at the helm ! of the "Clipper," I, without, egotism say, Warren county has beeu steered from off many rocks 'by my individual efforts. Now. Masons of Franklin Lodge, No, ll[ j am 1 to be debarred fellowship with you on at count of the spleen aud villainy 0 f one scalawag f Is the institution to be | prostituted to the baseness of so assas sin s steel ? i hope not. Many of our best citizens, who have conceived a fa vorable opinion of Masonry, hold them selves aloot on account of this Individual’s membership, knowing his cowardly dis position, anti fearing him as a eoteard. In conclusion, 1 would say, that if any Mason who voted oil the ottcaaion referred to, will vindicate Dardou, I will make ample reparation ; butif Uo f)H , IB it hia duty to give Dardeu jusUce other than this, then I again brautl Uiui as a liar aud villain. I can be touud at my office at any lime, aud if the Doctor sees proper to practice on me, I um his iwtieui, but uot without fear that he will adminiater jHiisun or attempt a surgical operation on my back with a scalpel, iu the dark. Charles Wallace. P. S.—lu becoming possessor of the f*c(s 1 have published, I Vindicate auy Mason who may be accused of acting in an numasonic manner. Hov> I came in pos session of the facts, is nobody’s business but my own, and it is sufficient that the Masons who were in the Lodge know them to be facts. The Warren County Tragedy —ln our account of the murder of Mr. Wallace by Dr. Darden in Warrenton, on Friday, from erroneous information received at this office on the subject, we did the latter an injustice which we hasten to correct. Dr. DardeD is not a Radical, as we stated iu that article, and the feuiP between him self and the editor of the Clipper was, as ! wc are informed, of a personal and not of a political character. We regret very much the mistake having been made, as we would not do injustice to any one inten tionally and make the only amende in our power. Further from the Warrf.n County Tragedy. —From a gentleman who came to this city Saturday evening on the pas senger train on ihe Georgia Railroad, we learn that the Warren county murder was most fearfully avenged on last Friday night. Our informant states soon after the murder was committed, Dr. Darden surrendered himself to the Sheriff, and for his own protection asked to be imprisoned in the jail of the county. His request was grant ed, and lie was lodged in prison, and ; allow and to retain his arms in order ! that he might have some means of j defenoe if an attack was made upon him by the friends of his victim. The af | fair, as may well be imagined, created the i greatest excitement in the town, and many people coming in from the country, as soon as they heard the news, swelled the excited groups, who were engaged in discussing the affair. Later in the day many began to believe that Dr. Darden would never ap pear at the bar of a court to answer for the crime, but would speedily come before a swift and more terrible tribunal —that of J udge Lynch. Nor did th; se rumors prove incorrect. On the night of that day, between the hours of eleven and twelve o’clock, a large body of armed men, estimated to be about one hundred in number, entered the village, apparently coming from the country. Silently and in compact array they marched to the resi dence of the Jailor, and their leader demauded of that official the key of the prison. Knowing too well what must be their object, the Jailor bad the courage to refuse their demand. The “Regulators’’ employed no violence toward him to enforce their request, but turned from his house and proceeded to the Jail—a building re mote from any other houses. Arrived there , they kindled afire at the door, as the easiest method of removing this obstacle and the door soon igniting burned until it could be easily forced from its hinges and the avengers rushed into the building. The prisoner, warned by the noise outside, know that his hour had come ; but he de termined to sell his life as dearly as pos sible, and when the men reached the door of his cell bade them stand back, he was armed and would shoot the first one who entered. Tcey paused at this; but the still burning do jr supplied them with a device, which they hastened to put in practice. Collecting a quantity of fuel they placed it at the door of the cell, ap parently determined to make him sur render,either through fear of suffocation or burning. This was ignited and a volume of smoke poured into the room so rapidly that the inmate felt that he could endure it but a little while longer and shouted to I the regulators his willingness lo surrender ! if they would remove the flames. No j sooner had he spoken than his request was j granted and he was told to come forth. But now that this other death was so near at hand, revived, too, by tho fresh air, ; which had taken the place of the smoke, j Dr. Darden again refused to deliver him self up. Determined not to be baffled in their j scheme of vengeance, the fire was started ! for the second time aud the smoking pro cess continued until, almost suffocated, the wretched man implored them to put out : the fire, plcdaiug himself to surrender. ! Accordingly the fire was extinguished and, seeing it impossible to avert his fate, the prisoner dropped his arms and walked out to receive the sentence of this terrible j court. II is first request was to be allowed I to seo his wife and children. This was re- ! fused, but they granted him permission to j write her a note and carried him to his ; office, in the village, for that purpose. Seat ed in his office, he wrote hurriedly a few lines to his wife and then awaited the dis posal of his captors. From his office, he was carried some distance from the town until they reached a place near the rail road station. Hero they tied him securely to a tree and then fired a volley at him, thirty shots of which took effect in his person, killing him, itis believed, almost in stantly. And thus has onded a most shock ing murder and most fearful retribution. Georgia Medical Association.— We are requested to nnnouncc that the regular annual meeting of tho Georgia Medical As sociation will be held in the city of Savan nah ou the second Wednesday iu next April. The Savannah News says that “this must needs be one of the most im portant organizations connected with the nobie profession of medicine, and we hope and expect to see representatives from every city, town, hamlet, and the counties throughout the wholo of our beloved State. Every regular physician is entitled to a scat in the Convention, and all arc most cor dially invited to our city, both by our Doc torsaud citizens. Arrangements are now being made with the railroads by which all physicians will be allowed to pass both ways on one fare, They will pay as they come and return free, by gotting a certifi cate from the President of the Association. The physicians of Savannah arc making arrangements to entertaiu the members in the most hospitable manner. Every paper throughout the State is requested to take especial notice of this meeting, for it is a matter we all should have interest in, and place it prominently before their readers, so that it may reach tho eye of every physi cian in Georgia. All are most cordially invited to attend.’’ Peeler Cotton. —The attention of our planters is called to the advertisement of the Peeler cotton seed, for the sale of which Messrs. E. P. Clayton & Cos. are the Agents in this city. The Peeler cotton is celebrated for its prolifiencss, and especially for the supe riority of its staple. It matures earlier in the season than other cotton, and sells from ten to twenty cents higher. At the Alabama State Eair the Peeler cotton was awarded the premium over all others for the length, strength and fineness of staple. The responsibility of the Agents, Messrs. Clayton & Cos., is a guarantee to our plant ers that this cotton has all the qualities which is claimed for it. Persons who de sire to examine a sample of it can do so by calling at this office. The following certificate speaks for the character of the owner, 11. K. Ware, Esq., of Mississippi: Brandon. Miss., January 1, 1868. To Whom it May Concern : The undersig ,ed take pleasure in saying that our fellow-citizen, lion. 11. It. Ware, is a gentleman of integrity aud character ; has long resided in itankin county, and has been repeatedly honored by our citi zens. Any statement he may make may be relied upon as strictly true.. Respectfully, Mayers & Soi ry. T. D. Harris, Sheriff Itankin county. J. A. Ferguson, Clerk Circuit Court Rankin county. H. S. Cole, Clerk Probate Court Rankin county. It is seldom that we use the columns of this paper to "puff" or notice the “thousand and one’’ articles known as "Patent Medi cines.” We, however, vary from our rule in the preseut ease, that we may call attention to the article kuown as “S. T.— 1860 — X., Plantation Bitters.” We de sire it understood that we do so without any solicitation or promise of benefit from the proprietor or other interested parties. We simply do it as an act of duty toward those whose are laboring under physical disability, weakness, and the various com plaints arising from impurities of tin blood. Having used the Bitters at the i instigation of a friend (and, we confess, with some misgivings at the outset), we found them a most valuable medical com pound, and to our great satisfaction, ac complished the object lor which they were used.

Mr. Speer offered a resolution that the committee ascertain what amounts of money had been paid by ihe Central and other roads to prevent the passage of this bill.

Resolutions were introduced instructing tho Attoruey-General to prosecute the bonds of the Comptroller aud .Treasurer. Referred to a com mil tee of three. In Ihe House there were only two mo tions to reconsider, which is rather re markable, considering that about forty rather unimportant bills were acted on iu last night's session. The bill to aid the Cartersville& Vanwert Railroad was passed. Mr. Sparks introduced a resolution re questing tlio Governor to return ttie bill aiding the Bruuswick a Albany Railroad, stating that the same had been passed by fraudulent representations.

Ho also presented a minority report protesting against the wrong upon Milledgeville and the whole State, and the willful extravagance of the public money wrung from overburdened aud overtaxed people, was read. Mr. Harper, of Terrell, spoke in fayor of a reconsideration. He did not think the Representatives were authorized to buy this large building with its appurtenances. It was uncalled for, unnecessary, and he 1 did not think the State should become au ! owner and renter of bar-rooms, restau rants and saloons without tlie consent of the tax payers. Mr. O'Nealspoke against favoring recon sideration. Mr. Williams, of Dooley, opposed in a sensible, practical speech and said it was a | “cricket under a chunk.” The tax payers should have a voice iu the expenditure of ; their own money.

If a member was buying a $75 horse he would take more mature consideration than the Representatives had taken in appropriating $300,000 of the tax-payers’ money. Instead of this sort . of action the people should be heard, they paid the taxes. The reconsideration pre vailed by a vote of ay es 79, nays 43.

The House passed a bill exempting the products of the homestead from levy and execution for debts contracted between 1861 and 1860, by making them subject to debts for supplies for the farm family support, tuition of children, medical bills, Ac. The opinion prevails that the extreme Republicans will vote against the 15th Amendment. It will be ratified, however, though it is known that certain Georgia Repubiicans now in Washington wish it defeated, as thereby they hope to re-es tablish military government in Georgia. X. TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. From Atlanta. Atlanta, March 13, p. m.—A resolu tion in the Senate to-day to reconsider the adoption of tlio 15th Amendment was sus tained by a vote of ayes 19, nays 15,and its adoption or rejection made the special or der for Tuesday next. No action was taken on its reconsideration in tho House, but it is a foregone conclusion that the amendment will pass both Houses next week by a vote of Conservative Republi cans and Democrats. On its adoption last Thursday in the House, a majority of Re publican numbers voted against it or dodged voting, in hopes the Democrats would vote against it, thus leaving the question and its agitation open. The Re publicans who oppose tearing down the State government, but believe Congress has the power,under the 14th Amendment, to unseat all holding office in violation of tho Constitution,voted for the 15th Amend ment with the determination to uphold Grant and Congress; 25 Republicans voted for it and four against it; forty-two Dem ocrats for it, litiy-six against it; twenty four Republicans absented themselves and did not vote, but seventeen of the twenty four absentees voted for its reconsidera tion yesterday. On a subsequent motion to suspend the rules to take up the Fifteenth Amendment the House refused—ayes 63, uays 48. One hundred aud eleven votes were cast out of one hundred aud seventy five in the body. In the Senate discussion to-day a Con servative member declared that the ex treme ends of both parties were bent on the samo end, rule or ruin, t»nd appealed to the Conservatives of both parties to yote tor its adoption. The General Assembly, in joint session, elected Samuel Weil, Foreigu Commis sioner, and G. N. Lester Home Commis sioner, of the Land and Immigration Bureau. From Cuba.

TO BUYERS OF WATCIIKS EVERYWHERE The Rreater part of the Jewellers of the United States keep Waltham Watches, and cordially recommend them to their cuturners, notwithstanding the fact that lest profit is made on these than on a y others generally soM by the tr»de. The reason of this is, th t the reputat’on of the Wastham Watch renders it an oapy sa’e, and th** result is, that, although the dea’er do s notmhKe es much mono/ oa each individual watch ss he may on the sale of other watch es, he is still th 6 gainer through lnrger and ivellcr sTes There are some, however, among the tr.tde, who do not give the Waltham "Watch that hearty support which it de serves. This portion of the trade fancy there is moru money to be made La dealing in watchf s about wh'ch the public are g lorant, and in which there is leas competition, and ari content to make an occasional Hilo of such watchCH at a 1 rgepr fit. It is this class of dealers who, when asked abotit Waltham Watches, usa that kiud of langurge wh ! c'» leads the oustom°r finally to buy ju-t snch a watch as is the most profitable f r the de iler to sel‘. For the information of persons about to buy a watch,and who may be unfavorably ass eted by the representations of thrse unfriendly to our watches, we call attention to the following ; Since the manufae'ure of watchf s was initiated at Wal tham. the Os have made and sold ab ut 400)000 Watcfcea.
