Some have brought their grain a considerable dis tance to the steam mill in this place. It is said that so many streams have not thus gone dry since 1845. Mr. Thomas Whaley, of Litbonia, has acquired much art in raising and taming tbe piscatory tribe. He has a pond not far from his residence in which he has raised a quantity of large fish. Some what like iiarey, who tamed horses, Mr. Whaley succeeds admirably in tammg fish. It is amusing to witness them, when be calls, swim to the surface of the water and eat bread from his hand. MeDaffio Journal: Mr. Wm. Ben son and George, a young sob of Mr. A. Simon, of this vicinity, were engaged in making some repairs on a crib at the residence of the latter last Thursday, when a portion of the structure fell upon them. Mr. Benson was rendered insensible by a wound on the head and George Himon received some rather se vere bruises in tbe back and chest. Dr. Durham was called in and rendered prompt and successful medical atten tions. Both parties, we learn, have re covered. The Hnpremo Conrt of Georgia has rendered a decision that exempted per sonalty under the homestead law can be exchanged for property of the same kind, end that the property so obtained in exchange is exempt from levy and sale for the man's debts. In other words, a man may swap his horse and get another horse, and the last horse takes the place of the first so far as the owners are con cerned. This exchange can be repudia ted by the parties makiug the exchange. The decision was made in the Morris and Tenneut case, from Cobb county. Moan tain Signal: Richard Barrett, of this connty, while resetting an old fence, was bitten by a large rattlesnake, on the calf of his leg.

Attend all their meetings and make them speeches. It will convert them from Republicanism. At Mars Bluff, last Saturday, a large number of colored Radicals threatened a few colored men who had dared exer cise freedom of thought and speech by asserting their iuteunoa to vote the Democratic ticket, but these Radical bullies found too much independent grit in the Democrats, and dared not carry into execution their cowardly threats. Right makes a man brave. Miss Ann Thomas, in behalf of the ladies of Lebanou Grange, oa Saturday last, presented a beautiful dag to the Lebauon Rifle Club. Capt. James Gil bert received it, and replied in an ap propriate speech. The flag was turned over to Mr. John A. Devlin, the ooior bearer, who felt proud to be the eueto diau of their gift.

Anderson Intelligencer : Wa regret to announce the death of Mr. Silas Mas gey, an aged and well known citizen of this county, which occurred at his resi dence oa last Monday night, a little af ter ten o’clock, Mr. Massey haa been paralysed for aeveral year* back, and it was known that his end was approaching several days before hi* death. Mr. Mas eey had been a member of Robert’* Presbyterian Church for more than twenty years, sud died a member of that faith. According to his record he was born on the sixth day of March, 1T76, and was consequently a little more than one hundred years old. He saw the birth of the American Union, and lived to see its centennial anniversary, attain ing an old ago which is reached by very few of the human family of this day. He leaves a number of children, who, in oommon with his friends, mourn the departure of the aged one. His remaius were interred in Mountain Creek Ob arch yard oa Wednesday morning. TERRIBLE TURKISH ATROCITIES. The Kretain* of a Poor I'ricot—Men nod Bora Tortnrrd and MtiUrenleA— How Wo . men o o4ta4rßteosfcA.'d%MMSc Bobir* Cnr i rird oo Ihe flblib off fajamu—t rlmn ( anwilted Too Paul to be Named. Mr. MacGabin writes from Bulgaria to the London New* as follows: “When we ware in ft(#BWt}titi we were shown in Ui&inins ©/ tieTßurcb, before which had stood tbe altar, a black spot speck ed with calcined bones, on whicb lay h priest, Theodor Peoff, eighty-five years of age, wtf> had Been seized and tortured in the hopes of obtaining money, muti lated and maltreated in ways which on ly the foul imagination of a Turk could invent, them killed and burned hero be fore the altar. In another place we were shown an old blii.d man, Dondje Stregleyoff, whowaabeaten half to death, and thrown senseless on a heap of wood and burned alive. " There was an old man here, Zwatko Boyardjieff by name, a public benefac tor, a liberal contributor to the school fund, who is Woter supported half the widows and orphans of the place, who was renowned for his charities to Chris tian and Turk alike. He was likewise seised, tortured and maltreated. His eyes were pat out, and, after undergoing the most fearfal torments, be was thrown on a heap of wood fainting or deed, the people do hot know which, and burned They seized the priest Neator and cat off his fingers one by one to extort mo ney, and as the poor man had none to give them they continued by cutting off kin hands, and finally bis head. We were shown in the yard of a neat little cottage, embowered in trees, a grave be side which a woman was kneeling as we man of eighteen, who had jut* returned home from echo©! when the troubles be gan, after an absence of two years, and who had taken no part in the outbreak. They bad seized him and in mere sport cat off his hands one by one in the pres ence of his mother, then killed him. Wbat makes these acts more terrible was that many of them were committed in the presence of the weeping relatives— wife, mother, brothers, sister* of the re latives. And they were repeated by the hundred. It would take a volume to tell all the stones that were related to n*. But it was not only old aud young men who suffered—women, yonnu girls, obildreo, infants, were ruthlessly slaugh ’ tered. These Turks have no pity, no compassion, no bowels. They have not even the generosity, the pity of wild beasts, Even the tiger will not slay the young of its own species. But these Turks—these strong bearded men— picked infants up out of their cradles with their bayonets, tossed them in the air, caught them again and flung them at the heads of the shrieking mothers. They carried little babes about the streets on the points of their bayonets, with tbe poor little heads and arms drooping around the barrels of their guns, and the blood streaming down over their hands. They cut off the heads of children and compelled other children to carry the still bleeding heads ab nt in their arms. I wonld have the reader remember that I am relating facts that have been coldly and ooncisely noted down in my presence by Mr. Schuyler; facts that will appear in his report; facts that were told him by people who wept and moan ed and wrirng their hands, and fairly tore their hair, at the bare remembrance of the scenes they were relatiug. Huudreds of women came to us re counting what they had seen and what they had suffered. Not a woman in the place seems to have escaped outrage. They all confess it openly. In other places where these things occurred the women have shown a hesitation to speak. In some oases they denied that they had been outraged, and we afterwards learn ed they confessed to others that they had beeu. At Avrat-Alan a delegation of ladies called upon Mr. Schuyler to make their complaints, and he was some what astonished to find that they had very little to say. Upon going away, however, they left him a letter, signed by them all, saying that soaroely a wo man in the place had escaped outrage. They could not bring themselves to tell him viva voce, but thinking that as he was investigating here in an official ca pacity he onght to know, they had de cided to write to him. Here, however, they did not hesitate to speak out. Out rages were committed so publicly, so generally, that they feel it would be use less to try to hide their shame, and they avow it openly. These acts were committed not only in the houses, but in the streets, in the yards, in the courts; for the Turks have not even the' decency which may accompany vice. They have not even the modesty of vile ness; they have not even the shame of nature. Mothers were outraged in tbe presence of their daughters; young girls in the presenoe of their mothers, of their sisters and brothers. One woman told us, wringing her hands and crying, that herself and her daughter, a girl of fif teen, had been violated in the same room. Another, that she was violated in the presence of her children. A girl eighteen avowed, shuddering and bow ing her face in her hands, that she had been outraged by ten soldiers. 4 woman, who came to ns on crutches with a bul let still in her ankle, said'she had been violated by three soldiers while lying wounded on the ground groaning in agony. YouDg, delicate fragile little creatures, ten and twelve years old, were treated in the same brutal manner. A woman told ns that her daughter, a tender, delicate little thing of twel.e, had been outraged by a Bashi-Bozonk, although she had offeied all the money she had in the world, although she offer ed herself if he would spare the child. Another told us of a poor little thing of ten violated in her presence, with a number of other giris. Still another told us how a dozen yonng girls, twelve or fifteen years old, had taken refuge in her honse, hoping to escape detection; how they had been discovered; how two of them had been outraged and killed, because they had resisted, and how the others theu submitted to their fate, white, shivering, their teeth chattering with fright. * * * * * If I tell what I hare seen and heard it is because I want the people of England to understand wha* these Turks are, and if we are to go ou bolstering up this tot tering despotism ; if we are to go on carrying t.iia loathsome, vioe-striokeu leaper about on onr shoulders, let ua do it with open eyes and a knowledge of the facts ; let ns seo the hideous things we are carrying. Mr. Schuyler obtained ample evidence of other crimes too foul to be even named. There are crimes that repel investigation, that avoid the light; that, like those vile, creeping, loathsome things found under carrion or in the fowast depth's of sewers, cling to the dark holes and corners aud escape inspection. Mr. Sohuyler has explored these dark depths to the bottom, with the coolness of a surgeon probing a foul and festering nicer. But Ido not thick he will be able tu state the facts in his report. They are without the pale of the English laugaage, and for my part 1 shall not again refer to them.” HENRY A. WISE. Funeral Ceremonies of the Deceased mates ■nan aud Soldier, Richmond, September 14.— The funer al of ex-Gov. Henry A. Wise took piaoe tbis afternoon from St. James Episcopal Church. There was au immense turn out of the citizens of all classes and na tionalities. The proees iou embraced all tbe white military companies of tbe city, the veterans of the Wise brigade, Catholic, Irish and German societies, Masons, members of the legal profes sion and a large number of other oiti teno. All along the line of march the streeU were crowded with people follow ing the procession to Hollywood Ceme tery, where the remains of the deceased statesman aud soldier were interred. The floral tributes were numerous and handsome. The State and city officials, including Governor Kempner and staff, also attended, while tbe State and city offices were eloeed during the greater portion of the day. Federal aud State dags were displayed at half mast on the capitol. EDUCATION FOR THE COLORED RACE. OSe YBlUoo DoUssra Lett kt That Porpooe. No&sstown. ST. J., September 15.

Blood and Victoria have not lived together for some time. The decree gives her the right to marry again, bnt deprives Blood of that privilege.

[Special Dispatch to the Ames and Courier] Columbia, 8. C., September 14.— The State Republican Convention met at 10:30 o’olock this morning. Hurley made • motion that the Convention go into an immediate nomination for State ’officers. While this mption was under discussion Whittemore, the Chairman of the Committee on Platform and Resolu tions, announced the report of the com mittee. Tbe platform, whicb is a lengthy document, is covered by the following synopsis: First, the party reaffirms its confidence in the National Republican party, and pledges its adherence to the principles adopted at Cincinnati. Sec ond, endorses Hayes and Wheeler with the assurance that all necessary reforms can be effected within the party. Third, heartily endorses President Grant, and his economical administration is com mended to the future observanoe of the party. Fourth, declares its belief in plain and unmistakable principles for the platform, rejects glittering gen eralities and adheres to specific and substantial truths. Fifth, abhors and repudiates violence and intimida tion and fraud in elections ; will jealonaly guard the right of every citi zen to choose his po itical party ; de nies tbe charge that Republicans coun tenance interference with colored voters who prefer the Demooratie ticket, and denounce the Democratic practice of at tending Republican meetings and tak ing part therein without invitation. Sixth, pledges a thorough reform iu all departments and will submit the follow ing specific reforms : The present ad justment of the bonded debt shall be in violate ; the General Assembly to meet onoe in two years, and no session to ex ceed seventy days ; the nnmber of the sessions of the Court of General Ses sions and Common Pleas to be reduced to two annually to eaoh county, the Judges to call extra sessions ; the veto power to be modified so as to allow dis approval of a part without reference to entirty of an act ; agricnitural interests to be fostered ; an equitable distribu tion of taxation and a system of licenses to be adopted ; no public funds to be devoted to sectarian purposes; local and special legislation prohibited whenever private interests can be protected by general laws ; especially pledges to support the free schools, and advocates an amendment to tbe Constitution to establish a specific tax for this purpose; a reduction of salaries consistent with the necessities of the government ; a re duction of fees and costs, especially of attorneys in civil cases ; an immediate repeal of the lien law ; the public print ing to be reduced one-third ; convict labor to be utilized under humane laws; annual appropriations shall be expended economically ; the number of Trial Justices shall be reduced. The plat form charges the Democratic party with a perversion of truth and history ; with a denial of rights to their opponents ; with antagonism to justice ; the dis ruption of the Union, and opposition to reconstruction. The plautform was adopted unanimously. The nominations were then entered upon. Hamilton, of Beaufort, nominat ed D. H. Chamberlain. Hirseh second ed the nomination. Sammy Green, of Beaufort, nominated T. C. Dunn, and C. C. Bowen seconded the nomination. Lawrence Cain, of Edgefield; Carter, of Kershaw; S. A. Swails, Minort, Harriott, Green, of Georgetown; Morgan, of Or angeburg, and Wm. Scott, of Williams burg, then followed in speeches sup porting Chamberlain. Straker, of Or ungeiburg; S. W. Hampton, of Chester field; “Redhot” Jones, W. H. Thomp son, of Charleston; Miller, of Beaufort; Humbert, of Darlington; Sherman, of Colleton; Gantt, of Beaufort; Sam Lee, of Sumter, and B. F. Whittemore, made speeches against Chamberlain. Thomas, of Colleton, nominated John Winsmith, of Spartanburg, but the nomination fell flat, and nothing further was heard of it. The speeches, which have occupied a steady session from 11, a. m., so far have been tame, and the arguments put forward have rather looked to the possi ble chances of the candidates than to the tnerits of the candidates themselves. The supporters of Dunu have taken as the basis of their opposition Chamber lain’s treachery to his party, and very little has been said of Dunn, or his fit ness for the position. There are no nothinations yet, and at this hour (10, p. m.) an all night session is in pros pect. Columbia, September 15, 1:30, a. m.— T. McOants Stewart made a long speech in favor of Chamberlain, devoting him self principally to a recitation of the re form measures adopted during his ad ministration. Elliott followed, and as the Convention and outsiders had been waiting all day-for his ppeech, the ex citement waa intense. The Convention up to this time had been comparatively quiet, but now grew tumultuous and unmaoagable. The crowd from the lob bies pressed to the front to get a hear ing. Elliott began by the announcement that while he approved of the reforms of Chamberlain, he oould not endorse his whole administration. He put for ward as his candidate Colonel T. 0. Dunn. Chamberlain replied to Elliott, aud the scene in the April Convention was repeated. The Governor took up each point that had been made against him and auswered it, amid the cheers of his supporters. Patterson seeing the drift of things made a little Bpeeoh, calling on the delegates to vote solidly for Chamberlain. Dr. John 0. Winsmith thanked the Convention for the compliment paid him, awl the candidacy. The vote was theu reached, after a steady session of fourteen and a half hours, and resulted as follows: Whole number of Votes, 123. Necessary to a choice, 62, of which Chamberlain received 88, T. C. Dunn 31, D. T. Corbin 2, Winsmith 1, R. B. Elliott 1. Chamberlain was then duly declared the nominee amid enthusiastic cheers. The nominations forlpeuteoant-Goveru or were then entered upon. On account of the lateness of the hour I am compell ed to close; but there is little doubt that □leaves will be renominated as Lieuten ant-Governor. The Convention is not likely to adjourn before daylight. Tbe Ticket Completed—All the Nominees Ne groes—Contemplated Procession—Trouble Apprehended.

COLQUITT ON THE STUMP. drawers' Meeting at While Oak Camp Ground—McDuffie and Columbia Out in Parpta-Qnneral Colquitt’* Speech—A Sensi ble and Praoiioal Address, [.•Special Correspondence Chronicle and Sentinel ] Columbia County, September 12. Some time since it was annoanced that ! General A. H. Colquitt, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Georgia, wonld address a Grangers* meeting at White Oak Camp Ground in this connty. Last Saturday was the day appointed ! for the speaking. There was a very | large attendance to hear the distinguish- j ed Georgian, and the counties of Mc- Duffie and Columbia were represented by their best citizens. I have never seen a larger or in ore enthnsiactic assemblage in this section of the State. General; Colquitt was aoqompanie4 by Hon. J. ‘ B Jones, of Burke, State Lecturer of the Patrons of Husbandry. Hon. H. , R. Casey, of Columbia, presided over the meeting and introduced the speak t<rs. Mr. Joaes delivered an admirable, lecture to the farmers present, which was i received with many marks of high ap-' provaL Dr. Casey then introduced Gen- j eral Colquitt to the audience in his most felicitous manner—referring to General C.’s illustrious parentage and the distin guished services rendered the State by his father. He also alluded to General Colquitt's wsr record and the services be bad rendered the people of the State since the war as President of (he State Agricultural Societyyof the Planters’ Union Age Doy and the Direct Trade Union. Upon taking the stand General, Colquitt made a most practicable and sensible address and was frequently in terrupted by the applause of his audi tors. He referred to the prevailing opinion of the Country in favor of re- is needed from the kitch en tjt the White House—among all classes f-peopleSnoiu aft conditions of' [life* Thepoverty of the Southern conn- ! try, produced by war aud wicked legis lation, is now re acting on the North . and West, as is evinced by tbegrpat l tramp evil plaguing those sec tions. He touched upon taxation in all its forms and declared that the sub ject needed thorough investigation, as he was convinced that not fourth of tbe tax paul by the people went inte the public Treasury the remainder “fell by the wayside,” and was garnered np by the office-holders. He spoke of the corruption pervading every branch of the public service, and instanced how speedily tbe Congressmen of these days amassed wealth while before the war they were nearly al ways poor. He dwelt at length npon the rotteness of the Government as shown by the damning exposnre of Grant’s Cabinet officers. He urged npon all Georgians the necessity of voting in tbe ensuing Presidential election in order to roll np as heavy a majority as possible against bribery and corruption, and to show to the world that the Empire State of the Sonth abhors an administration which plun dered and misgoverns the people. He then touched upon Btate politics and his own candidacy for Governor. He dwelt npon the impropriety of candi dates promising offices to their support ers and said that, for himself, he had promised no man an office. He wonld have no offices to promise nntil after his election. No one loved Georgia more than he did and no one had done more for her according to his capacity. If he has fallen short in any way, the failure has proceeded from want of power, not of inclination. General Colquitt’s speech made a flue impression, and no man now questions the wisdom of the State Convention in giving us the hero of Olustee as a candidate. Crops in this county have fallen off fully one-third as regards cotton, and peas, potatoes and turnips are serionsly injured by the droath. Guano has again played tbe wild with ns. Nearly all guanoed cotton has the rnst and has thrown off nearly everything. Barnyard manure has again asserted its suprema cy as a fertilizer. Columbia. Local and Business Notices. THE MISDIRECTION OF THE BILE- The misdirection of the bile, a conse quence which ensues wbeu the liver is inactive and the bowels torpid, prOduoes a number of bodily evils.

Wholesale merchants already report good bnsineee, with evidences of better in the future. There is * .trang demand for drv goods by oountiy hous es and large shipments have been made daring the week. The prospect is cheering and tbe business oommnnity are now more hopeful o t te future than they have been for years past Goods can be purchased aa cheaply in Augusts aa in New Fork or Philadelphia, and country merchants will find it to their advantage to trade \uth onr wholesale dealers instead of go ing to the North for their stocks. An active business has been done during the week in a retail way. merchants have been kept busy filling orders. The receipts of cotton are increasing day by day, and the better grades, especially, find ready sale at current quotations. Tbe dail) sale* average over eleven thousand dollars per day, aid this money finds its way into the pockets of the people of this n.coeist In tbe grain market we find that wheat is' firm and in demand at advancing prices, while com is dull and in but little request. Avert large corn crop has been made in Georgia this year, consequently there is comparatively small demand for the Western article Oats continue quiet and nnohanged. Floor is firm with no change in quotations. Bacon advanced a half cent during the first part of the week and has oontinued firm with a good demand since. The money marxet iuaist, with a healthy tone. The banks tatye WadUy first class com mercial paper at suort date, but do not oare about long date paper. The balk of the money at present is required to move the cot ton eoming into the city. Very lit le has been done in securities dur ing the week. Ten shares of Augusta Factory ateca were sold at 95. Securities. Below we give correot quotations of tec un ties in this market.

These lands are not duly admirably adapted to the culture of oranges, but are also excellent for farming purposes, and can be easily brought into cultivation, the old settlers in the vicinity raising an abundant supply of corn, cotton, sugar, etc., upon them. GET A HOMESTEAD NOW. Parties who propose set-ling in Florida will find it greatly to their advantage to obtain their homesteads during the Summer months, and thus avoid the rush off the Fall months- Those desiring to looate near the railroad will obtain ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES FREE If their entry iu made before thatfompletion of th‘ road. After its com lelion. #jicli will be some time this coming Fall, they will not he per mitted to enter more than eighty acr< s. Persons locating during the Summer can also get their lands in read neos for a crop of early vege tables next Winier, and thus be enabled to re alize a profit from the lands-iaitnediclely. Wo are now PREPARED TO LOCATE SETTERS, Singly or in colonies, at moderate rates, and in every case we guarantee eomplete n&tisfaction.

In the Fall months the rush of Northern seHiers is so great that it is diffiou t to qbtam choice homestead*; whereas at present tjip travel is light, aud one can se ltet a place with, greater ease. In addition, the large traot of homlstead lands contiguous to the iabroad, recently surveyed aba opened up for settlement by Mr. BANKS, if not en tered this Kwnmer will inevitably be taken up "l l * 6 * n ft U3£ of Northern travelers next tall. As my desire (without prejudice to Northern settlers) is to locate the numerous citizena of the States above nam'd'on choice Homesteads, while able to do so, Itirpo them to make the selections at once, and thus se cure valuable and eligible homes in |is Btate..
