We learn that the young men of
Dougherty county will oppn the pleas

died while a member of the Georgia
Legislature in November, 1853.
The grasshoppers are on the wing
dow, but do not seem t:> do as much
damage as when they were “skipping
along" so spryly. They will soon lay
their eggs and die. The damage to corn
is not as great as was apprehended, and
very little injury to cotton by them.
Encouraging. The cotton crop of Bar
tow will resell at least 10,000 bales,
which, at S4O per bale, will bring the
large amount of 8400,000. Add to > his
large sum 8100,000 for lumber, iron,
ores, wheat, outs, etc , and it becomes
plain that this half million will pay
every debt in that noble and wealthy
county.
Mrs Fannie Hall, of Walker county,
near Pond Springs, gave birth to a
child with two heads, one red and one
black, two backbones, two hearts aud
two stomachs, three arms and four
bands and two legs. Dr. Price, the at
tending pliysioiau, says it was two
children from the waist up, and one
from there down.
So far as amusements incident to gen
tlemen of leisure iu country towns are
concerned, Newuan has lapsed into a
state of profound inactivity. No mili
tary companies, no base ball, not even a
game of marbles; but politics and
watermelons appear to be the prevail
ing diversions for which cotton picking
and corn shucking will soon be substi
tuted.
Scatter the Fall oats now with a lib
eral hand, and so shall you* have fat
cows and rich milk and butter during
the Winter and an abuudant supply of
boron food at harvest. The sorghum
crop is huge, like the cattle upon a
thousand hills. It is in more than a
thousand fields, and will supply syrup
enough to reduce the demand for ba
con at least one-third.

Wonderful Preservation. —A provi
dential escape is reported by the San
Jose (Cal) Patriot, of August 1, as hav
iug occurred on Saturday evening near
that town. The freight train south to
Gilroy had almost reached the crossing
at Cobb’s rauob when the‘driver noticed
a little creeping infant between the rails.
It was too late to stop the engine, wbioh
came up, uud with the oars passed over
the spot where the little mite of human
ity had been seen. The train was stopped
as soou as possible, and a search made
for tbe child. A minute later the little
creature waa found doubled up on the
cattle guard, which was within a few
yards of where it had beeu sitting. Life
was not extinct, and the body only
slightly marked. On Sunday the con
ductor stopped to inquire about the
clitld; aud was told that, it was as well as
ever, with the exceptiou of having both
eye* blackened and a scratch ou its
nose. The infant appears to have been
lifted aud tossed clear off the line, re
ceiving a few trifling scratches in its
fall. It had crawled unobserved from a
house close to the crossing.
A Queer Thing in California. —A
strange friendship has sprung up be
tween two very dissimilar animals at
Mrs. Stratton’s. A black rabbit came
to the place some three months age and
took up its abode. Mra. S. beeps oa j
the place a couple of cows, and a short;
time since the rabbit took up the
strange habit of aeeping with one of;
these cows. It goes to the now’s wont-1
ed place of rest, waits her coming, and j
when arrived the motherly cow licks |
the little protege with much the same
affectionate tenderness that would be be
stowed on a calf, the rough tongue !
nod tremendous licks nearly raising the
little animal off its feet, and it the mean, j
while bracing itself with its four feet to i
stand the pressure. Then little punny
puts its little nose up to the cow’s
and appears to kiss it, after which the
rabbit nestles np aud goes to sleep. It
is a singular ißjdfellowship, the tiny
bundle of fur and ears of perhaps three
or four pounds with the unwieldy car
cass of six hundred.—At. Helena Star.
Terrible Acoidbei. —We learn that a
youth named Bradley, apn of Jesse
Bradley, living near Silverton, S. G.,
was struck on the head by the large
wheel connected with a cotton gin last
Wednesday and killed. Young Bradley
wes driving the mole which waa the mo
tive power of the machinery. The boy’s
father waa in the room above attending
to the gin. '(he cotton which was being
ginned at the time was brought to Au
gusta yesterday.
Mysterious Disappearance. —Last
Friday a printer named Geo. C. Coffin
arrived in this city, having walked, he
stated, over two hundred miles. He
was in a very destitute condition. Sat
urday evening he obtained admission
into the City Hospital, where he re
mained during Snnday. Sunday night
he got through a window and departed,
leaving his shoes in the ward. Nothing
has been heard of him since.

Friday night last, of acute rheumatism.
He was taken with a pain in one leg a
few days before his death, which con
tinued, grew worse and extended until
the sufferer could no longer endure. He
never had an easy hour from the time
he was taken. He leaves a young wife
and children to mourn his death.
We learn that Mr. J. D. Welch was
shot on last Saturday night, about 11
o’clock, at Seneca City, by a man named
W. P. Powell, who had been quarreling
with a vounger brother of Mr. Welch.
The difficulty had been stopped by Mr.
J. D. Welch, and as he started to leave
the shot was fired, striking him in the
left breast and ranging around his ribs
until it came out on the right side about
three inches below his arm.
Washington White, an aged colored
man living near Fort Mill, was found

opinion that he died from exhaustion.
J. E. Massey, M. D., testified that the
body bore no marks of violence, aud
that in hia opinion the deceased came to
his death from exhaustion, produced by
over exertion on account of his age and
physical weakness. The verdict of the
jury of inquest was in accordance with
the foregoing facts.
TIIE WAR IN THE WEST.
St. Paul, August 18 —Capt. Collins,
of the Seventeenth Infantry, arrived at
Bismark from Fort Buford last night.
He fails to confirm the squaw’s report of
a recent battle between tue Indians and
Terry’s forces. Scouts from Terry’s
columns, two days out, arrived at Bu
ford Monday evening. Couriers who
arri>ed at the supply depot, at the
mouth of the Rosebud, on the llih in
stant, report that Terry’s command met
the head of General Crook’s command
early on the 10th. Crook’s men were
following a large Indian trail in the di
rection of the Powder river. Upon a
short consultation between Generals
Terry and Crook, the commands were
united and proceeded on the trail that
General Crook was following. The
Fifth Infautjy was detached from Ter
ry’s column and ordered back to
stockade with instructions to take 40,-
000 men and rations, embark on the
steamer Fur West aud patroll the Yel
lowstone river as far as the mouth of
Powder river and ascertain whether or
not the Indians had succeeded in cross
ing the Yellowstone. If not they are to
prevent them. In the meantime, Terry
and Crook will come down on them
with their combined commands and
force a battle. It is not positively known
whether tbe Indians are ou the Tongue
or Powdar river. Five hundred crows
volunteered to join Gen. Terry. They
were at • nee rationed and forwarded to
him. They will be sent down the north
side of the river with Gen
eral Miles in command of
the Fifth Infantry. The Pioneer
Press and Tribune has a special dis
patch from Bismarck this evening, con
taining interesting news, additional to
that already sent. The steamer Silver
Lake arrived from above to-day. She
reports that the steamer Far West was
fired into a few miles below Fort Buford
Tuesday by a party of about fifty In
dians. No damage was done. Well
armed Indians recently run off a herd of
four hundred beef cattle from the Black
Hills, killing all bnt one. A large num
ber of horses have also been run off,
the boys killing one Indian, and his
head preserved iu alcohol will be sent
to Washington when opportunity
presents. Grey Eagle’s scalp by Dave
Campbell was sent to the Bismarck Tri
bune by the steamer Josephine, so that
settles the question whether the fellow
was scalped. Medieuie Cloud and par
ty, belonging to the Fort Peck agency,
whom Major Mitchell, Indian agent at
Fort Peck sent to Sittiug Bull, with
message May 27th last has returned to
the agency. The message sent by Mit
chell to Sitting Bull was to the effect,
that he desired him to come aud visit
Fort Peck, hoping that such step would
result in his returning upon the reservat
ion.
St. Paul, August 19.—Sittiug Ball
replies, July 27th, to Maj. Mitchell, of
Fort Peck : Tell him I am coming be
fore long to his post to trade. Tell him
I did not commence the war—l am get
ting old ; did not want to fight, but the
whites rush on me and I am compelled
to defend myself. But for the soldiers
on the Rosebud, I, with my people,
would have been there. If I was assur
ed of the protection of the Great Father,
I would go to Fort Peck for the purpose
of making peaoe. I and the other chiefs
want tbe Black Hills abandoned apd we
will make peace. Medicine Cloud esti
mates the hostiles at from 8,000 to 10,000
fighting men. They are living entirely
on meat, which is hard to get, owing to
the close proximity of the whites. The
hostile camp is now on the Tongue
river, south of the Yellowstone.
Some is l.ai'gh and Some to Weep.

DEATH OF SPEAKER KERR.
Washington, August 19. —A dispatch
was received here to-nigbt by the wife
of Dr. Pope, Mr. Kerr’a physician, an
nouncing tbe death of Speaker Kerr, at
Rockbridge Alum Springs, this evening,
at 7) o’clock. .
A casket will be sent from this city to
Rockbridge Alnm Springs to-morrow
morning, in which the remains of tbe
late Speaker will be conveyed to bis late
home at New Albany, Indiana.
There will be no official ceremonies at
Rockbridge, though it is probable that
several members of Congress will attend
the remains to New Albany. There is a
very general expression of sorrow here
at tbe sad, though not unexpected news.
Sketch of Hob. Michael C. Kerr.
A brief telegram advises ns of the
death of the Hon. Michael C. Kerr,
Speaker of the United States House of
Representatives. Mr. Kerr was a native
of Crawford county, Pennsylvania,
where he was born in 1827. He repre
sented the Third Indiana District, and
was elected to the Speakership in De
cember last. In his youth he attended
the common schools of Crawford coun
ty, and as be grew in years, engaged in
teaching and improving his mind by pur
suing a course of study and profitable
reading. He graduated with distinction
in the University of Louisville, Ky.—
law being bis specialty. He commenc
ed the practice of his profession at New
Albany, Ind., where he soon came into
favorable notice. He was elected to the
State Legislature in 1856, and won new
laurels in this new field. In 1862 he
became reporter of the Supreme Court
of Indiana. The five volumes of reports
which he edited prove him to be a
man of more than ordinary ability. He
was a member of the Thirty-ninth Con
gress and was re-elected in ’66, ’6B, ’7O
and ’74. His course in Congress was
conspicuous because of the faithfulness
with which he adherred to the princi
ples he sought to illustrate.
Socially, Mr. Kerr was very attractive,
and won for himself hosts of friends.
Ab a public man, his record was consist
ant throughout. In his death the coun
try has lost a true son—one who never
failed to respond promptly to the calls
of dnty, and was never found wanting
when duty was imposed. Peace to his
soul!
A THRILLING SCENE.
One of tbe Victims of Turkish Barbarity Tells
Her Story.
The Daily News' correspondent at
Prince Milan’s headquarters, writing ou
the 20th, says:
“Every tongue is charged and every
heart is full of well-autheuticated tidings
of Turkish atrocities committed on the
inoffensive peasant folk of the frontier
villages in districts where there can be
no pretense for severity for military
reasons. The men are gone from the
villages of the Greuze; the victims are
the miserable women and helpless chil
dren. Burning, wreckinr, butchery,
and violation constitutes, to all appear
ance, the enjoined functions of the
merciless Bastii-Bazouks and ruffianly
Redifs, whom the Turkish commanders,
keeping in fixed positions their regular
troops, let loose with letters of marque
to practice the utmost ingenuity of dev
iltry. From the frontier district be
tween Nisch and Alexinatz comes now
similar tidings to those 1 telegraphed
the other day as having been sent by
Alempics from the western frontier about
Beilina. No man who is not obstinately
determined to be incredulous can ques
tion the truth of these statements.
Officers and soldiers who come down
from the front authenticate them with
tales of burnt villages which they have
seen,; the mangled bod es of children
lyiDg iu the gutters among the charred
debris, headless tranks of Servian sol
diers in plaoes where there has been
fighting, men in the up-country hospi
tals, with noses slit by knives as they
lay helpless from their wounds. In the
course of an afternoon’s ride I yesterday
found my way into a little village on the
hill slope, about the door of one of the
houses iu which there was a group of
women and children, with here and there
an old man—all the able-bodied men are
away to the war. Oa the settle under
the projecting eves there sat a woman,
draggled, miserable, aud forlorn, with a
boy about 12 years old standing by her
side; and around them the people had
formed a semi circle, aud were looking
ou with strange concerned patience of
silence. The woman, too, was silent;
she sat there in an apathetic reverie of
despondency, with her eyes on the
ground, and one arm around the boy.
One of the women whispered something
to my companion, a Serbian officer,
whose face flushed, and whose mouth
set sternly, at the low recital. Dis
mounting, he approached the woman,
and speaking to her, startled her from
her abstraction. As he spoke, at first
she was asleep seemingly and indiffer
ent; her aspaot waa that of one with no
interest in anything. But at length she
kindled, and with flashing volubility
poured forth the terrible story of her
wrongs, which my companion hurriedly
and by scraps translated to me. Delica
cy, after all, is a relative term. An En
glishwoman, if she could have brought
herself at all to tell the shameful story
of outrage and indignity which this
miserable c eature had to recount of
herself, would have spoken of her deg
radation and its details with trembling
lip and downcast eye. Not surely the
less did this Selave woman quiver with
the agony of her voluntary degradation
because she told us of it—here before
the people—with shrill voice and flash
ing volubility of utterance. The per
sonal outrages to which she has been
subjected cannot be written down in
their horrible circumstantiality; but you
may realize how the recital thrilled her
audience, if you recall the shuddering
spasms, that vibrated through England
when the earliest tidings, happily in one
item of atrocity which they comprised
not . true, reached us of the opening
scenes of the Indian mutiny. Her
cottage had been burnt before her
eyes; of three children she had seen
one, her baby, tossed about from sol
dier, and then flung into the flames; of
the second she knew nothing; the third,
the lad who was now with her, had
made his escape timeously, and joined
her, from out the cove of a wood after
she had been allowed to drag herself
away from the scene of deviltry. Her
relative lived, she said, in one of the
hamlets of the Golubinge upland, and
she had tramped thus far on her way to
shelter herself among them. Her hus
band had left for the army since the
earliest days of the war, and she knew
i otbing of his whereabouts. Their cot
tage had been on the upland near the
Grumada Poss. It is not far from this
section of the extreme southwestern cor
ner of Serbia, where is or rather was, the
village of Jojun, of which Colonel
Prolich yesterday reported from Al
exinatz that the church, school and
houses had been burned. Polijana, an
other village in the same angle, is also
reported by the same authority to have
been desolated in a similar manner.
Now, apart altogether from the more
atrocity of these outrages, they are
curious illustrations of the exceptional
character of this war. The villages thus
desolated are inside the Seabaiu fron
tier. But the Serbian troops are in
positions considerably outside the Ser
bian frontier in this same direction; so
you have the Turks in detached parties,
not only between the Serbian columns
aud their frontier line, but actually, af
ter a fashion, reprisals in the shape of a
mutual invasion. It is just as if, when
the Germans were holding the country
oound Metz, bands of French soldiery
had deen desolating the German villages
of Duttweiler and Neunkuchen and the
district generally insido the valley of the
Saar.
THE STATE SENATORSHIP.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
At the last Senatorial election iu this
District the sovereigns, as the people are
termed periodically, were appealed to
on the question of rotatiq i, and it was
decided affirmatively by a large majori
ty. Cob Cain was rent to the Senate
and right zealously and efficiently did
he discharge the dnties of his office. In
all his acts he recognized the fact that
he represented the Eighteenth Senato
rial District. At the expiration of his
term he receives the plaudit : Well
done /
We are soon to elect Col. Cain’s suc
cessor. The choice is in the hands of
Glascock, unless she waives her privi
lege. I have heard it repeatedly hinted,
to put it mildly, that she will not insist
npon her rights, but cheerfully give way
to the next county in order—Richmond.
If this be true, I desire to suggest, in
connection with the position, tke name
of a youDg geqtleqiaa who is in every
way qualified for the high trust. He
has had experience as a legislator, is
wide awake to the interests of the peo
ple, and would make a most excellent
Senator. I refer to the Hon. B. Clay
Foster. Semper Idem.

VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Boston, December 12, 1869.
Gentlemen —My only object in giving you
this testimonial is to spread valuable informa
tioa. Having been badly afflicted with Salt
Rheum, aud the whole surface of my skin be
ing covered with pimples aud eruptions, many
of which caused me great pain aud aunoyance.
and knowing it to be a blood disease, I took
many of the advertised blood preparations
among which was any quantity of Sarsaparilla,
without obtaining auy benefit until 1 commenc
ed taking the Vegeti e, and before I had
completed the first bottle I saw that I had got
the right medicine. Consequently, I followed
on with it until I had taken seven bottles,
when I was pronounced a wrell man. and my
skin is smooth and entirely free from pimules
aud eruptions I have never enjoyed so good
health before, and I att ibu.e it ail to the nse
of Veoltine. To ben-fit those afflicted with
Rheumatism I will make mention also of the
Vloetine’s woqrierf ill power of curing me of
this acute complaint, of which I have suffered
so intensely. O. H. TUCKER,

Lands Unsurpassed For
FRUITS aM FABMING.
Office South Florida Land Agency. I
Fort Mason, Orange O nuty, Florida.)
THE undersigned have entered info a busi
ness arrangement for the purpose of lo
cating settlers on the public lands (either
United States or State) in this and adjoining
counties.
Located in the most delightful portions of
Orange county, in a section of territory con
ceded by all to be the best adapted to the cul
ture of the orange and kindred fruits, and
thoroughly acquainted with all the land*, in this
vicinity, we are better able to give information
concerning the lands still vacant than any
others engaged in the land business in this
county.
The railroad now in couree of oonstrnotion
connecting the St. John’s river at Lake George
with Lakes Harris, Eustis, Gr.ffln, Dora and
the other headwater lakes of the Oclawaha
river, will furnish all the surrounding lands
with ample transportation facilities and place
settlers within easy distance of tho Northern
and Eastern markets.
THE CLIMATIC ADVANTAGES
Of this section of territory are so well known
as scarcely to need recapitulation. Vegetables
and tropical fruits oau ha grown throughout
the yeir without danger from cold. 'The
severest frosts, of this lake region do not in
jure vegetation, as was proven dining the past
Winter, when the frosts killed early vegetables
at considerable distances south of ’us and left
this region untouched—not a blade of grass
being injured.
HOMESTEADS NEAR THE RAILROAD.
We are now prepared to locate settlers on the
public lanija in close proximity to the railroad.
0119 of the undersigned (Mr. John 8. Banks)
has just completed a thorough survey of a
iarge tract ot United States, lands, situated at
from three to six miles distance, from the rail
road. These lauds are not only admirably
adapted 1 othe culture of oranges, but are also
excellent for fanning purposes, and can be
easily brought into cultivation, the old settlers
in the vicinity raising an abundant supply of
corn, ooiton, sugar, etc., upon them.
GET A HOMESTEAD NOW.
Parties who propose settling in Florida will
find it greatly to their advantage to obtain
their homesteads during the Summer months,
aud thus avoid the rush ef the Tall months.
Those desiring to locate Hear the railn.a i will
obtain
one hundred and sixty acres free
If their entry is made before the completion of
tht road. After its completion, which will be
some time this oomiug Fall, they will not ba per
muted toenter more than eighty aor< s. Persons
locating during the Summer can also get their
lands in read,ness for a crop of early vege
tables next. Winter, an 1 thus be enabled to re
alize a profit from the lands immediately. Wo
are now
PREPARED TO LOCATE SETTLERS,
Singly or in colonies, & moderate rates, and in
every case we tjoiauiteecomplete satisfaction.
No lands \tpil be located by us until one of us
hay* tiiaroughiy surveyed them, and in alt
j cases our patrons shall be given the best tracts
of which we have any knowledge, without
favoritism or partiality feeing shown to, auy
one.
STATE LANDS.
We are %lsp prepared to locate, surrey and
purchase any desired quantity of State lands,
i and will perform this work either for a speci
fied price in money or for an agreed upon per
centum of land. We now have some choice
pieces of State land marked out on our maps,
which have been surveyed by us, and which
are among the best lands in this State.

In response fo many letters received by me,
I have entered into a business arrangement
with Mr. JOHN 8. BANKS for the purpose of
locating settlers on the public lands of this
and adjoining counties. Mr. BANKS is a prac
tical surveyor of many years’ experience, and
possesses a thorough knowledge of the public
lands, having been United States Register of
Public Lands in this State. We have ex
plored and surveyed a considerable tract of
these lands, and we are now prepared to locari
settlers on a

vear^Twi 0 ! 6 t 0 - u ‘ a State during the present
SSl,3“*® 1 would advise to OBTAIN THEIR
NOW. In the Fall months the
•Msfe of Northern settlers is ho great that it is
i difflcult tb obtain choice homesteads; whereas
at present the travel is light, and one can se
lect a place with greater ease. In addition,
the large tract of bcmlstead lands contiguous
to the railroad, recently surveyed and opened
up for settlement by Mr. BANKS, if not en
, tered this Summer will inevitably be taken up
; by tfee first influx of Northern travelers next
Fall. As my desire (without prejudice to
Northern settlers) is to locate the numerous
citizens of the States above uam r d on choice
Homesteads, while able to do so, I urge them
to make the selections at onoe, aDd thus se
cure valuable and eligible homes in this State.
