SUNDAY MAY 17, 1874.
•‘ITUmi BUT TICE."
Yesterday, at 11 a. we were bn»j i
writing a aerial called “In Other Lands—
A Story of tbe Ore at Iriah Famine”—the
Aral ehaptera of. which will ba fonnd in
thia morning's paper, and which promises
to be more thrilling than anything wo
have heretofore written. [For price of
Sunday paper sea printed terms.] Hut
this does not matter. While we were
writing, in walked Colonel French
Strange, ex-editor of the Opelika Ob-
terter. It pafned’na to see his face was
mom bloated than when last we had the
pleasure of gaxing on it. The summit of
his thin nose was red, and, with his cus
tomary graca and sweetness of expression,
he approached ns with bis right band
plaoed graoefnlly on bis right hip,
where be has a private pocket. We were
abont to greet this battle-scared
hero with onr customary warmth, when
to onr niter and irrespreasible amazement
Frenchy gave vent to a torrent of wrath
which had been pent np for nine mortal
months—mortal is not an inappropriate
word—thia intellectually brilliant and
physically handsome youth at once pro.
seeded to oall onr dead mother names,
and after assuring ns on his honor as a
gentleman that he was armed, and that we
were terribly“Lost to Los and Nidoring,"
be tried to spit at us, simply becauso we
were not ready to swear ho was the brav
est, most honorable and gentlemanly fol
low that bad appeared on the globe since
the days of that renowned man FalstnIT.
• We know Froncby had lots of pinch and
piles of virlne, but then we must
still adore Falstnff. Like his prototype,
Lay, this festive Opelika boy tried to pull
onr little nose, bat we begged off, and
playfully touched his cheek with onr sin
ister band. But why go on ? Some of
onr “minions"—that'swhat Frencby ealled
them—bounded in, his little pistol was
taken from him, and after a little privato
talk on the naughtiness of bis behavior,
be walked away, minus his little pop.gun,
between two peelers. On noxt Wednes
day the whole affair will be beard hofore
tbe court—foolish affair. On Thursday
we will publish an immense extra edition.
Please see Edmonds' “adver” about oof-
tins, and remember bis Honor, the Coro,
ner, was to Bee ns. The Enqdireh Bun
for the present is only five couts por copy.
Advertisers should romeinbor this.
COIBMPOk DEUCE.
Owing to the crowded state of our
oolumns, we are compelled to postpone
till Tuesday onr interesting correspond
ence “To Washington and Back."
Wi invite the two “city editors" of tho
Gainesville Advertiser to try their bands
at spelling June and July with an r, for
tbe benefit of tbe lovers of oysters.
Their ingenuity in spelling other words
euoourogoa ns to muke this appeal to
them. If they can’t do it, we are willing
to bet that it “oan't be did" by any Geor
gia editor.
In the Georgia State Dental Conven
tion, on Thursday, resolutions relative to
the death of Dr. J. Fogle, of Columbus,
were adopted. The following aro the of
ficers eleeted for tho year: Dr. George
Patterson, Waynesboro, President; Dr.
G. W. McEllinney, West Point, 1st Vico
President; J. P. Holmes, Macon, 2ti Vice
President; M. 8. Jobson, Perry, Corres
ponding Secretary; L. D. Carpenter, Un
cording Secretary; II. A. Lawrence, Ath-
k en». Treasurer.
Iris said that the Hon. David B. Mel-
lish—the New York Congressman reported
by telegraph tbe other day to huvo been
sent to a lunatic asylum—went crazy on
the ourrenoy question. All the wild tulk
that showed him to bo iuBane was on tho
finances. We do not much wonder at it;
and yet we doubt whether hiB talk exhib.
ited any groater lack of roason than that
of a majority of the financiers. His is
probably a case just about like that of a
lunatic of a former period, who declared
that all men thought him a fool, and he
thought all men fools, and tho majority
had their way, therefore ho was shut up.
A traveling correspondent of the Dab-
lonega Signal, who bad to cross the
swamp betwcon Memphis and tho St.
Francis river, forty miles wide, iu a skiff,
writes back “that if a man could go to
hell without dyiug, he would think when
he struck this swamp that he had very
ueor reached that point." This corres-
pondpnt docs not appear to have orthodo-
dox notions in reference to tbo surround
ings of the place ho so fiippautly men
tions. Our knowledge of Arkansan in
clines ns to tho opinion that when lie guts
to the Hot Springs ho will draw the same
conclusion from vory different pheuome-
Tnx Gainesville Advertiser says that we
ought to have known better than to state
that ita proprietor “lives in Washington
city." Yet in the sarno number of the
Advertiser containing this denial, wo find
that it has copied complimentary articles
from papers in its own neighborhood
making the same statement—oailing the
proprietor “W. K. Davis, Esq., of Wash
ington, D. C."; and the Advertiser does
not demur. Now wbat ought we to
“know" about it ? We did not allude to
Mr. Davis’ supposed residenco in Wash
ington as any reproach to him, but only,
as our artiolo explicitly said, to oall atten
tion to the significant political fact that
a gentleman living at Washington had
bought a Democratic paper iu Georgia
and changed its politios to Bepublican.
—There is some inquiry as to exactly
what waa decided by the Howard Court of
Inquiry, which has just adjourned. The
deoision has not been made public, but it
is understood that it is to the effect that
Gen. Howard was not responsible for tbo
irregularities and losses to tbe United
States which have already oocurred iu tbe
management of the Freadmen's Bureau.
On this question the Court stood four for
acquittal and three for conviction. Gens.
Sherman, Keynolds, Meigs and Miles are
understood to have voted for acquittal ;
those on tho other side of the question
were Gens. McDowell, Pope and Getty.
The offenses ebarged were not denied ;
bnt it was held that Gen. Howard oould
«ot ba responsible for the acta of bis aub-

not know what is “customary” in such
cases, bnt we know what is right. If a
young mao gives a ring, be means more
than friendship for the woman to whom
he gives it; and if she receives it, it is
an evidence that she oares more for the
young man than for the ring. We would
suggest a sensible talk over tbe matter ;
bnt as you seem to be more attached to
the ring than you are to the giver, honor
requires that yon retorn it by all means,
ond everything else that is an evidence of
his attachment.
Hhem says : “I have been reading
‘Volney,’ ‘Evidences of Creation,’ and
other books on the same subject, and can
not reconcile my belief with the Mosaie
aocouut of Creation." To give reasons
that would unsettle your ill-founded un
belief would be impossible in a short
article. We have read the books yon
name, and many others of tbe same kind,
but we are still foolish enough to believe
that tbe Bible truths, like tbe troths of
scionce, all come from tbe same Great
Master, and can not disagree, if read
right. A little relianoe in God and a
firm resolve to find the truth, would do
you good, and put yon on the right traok.
Mary L.—We have a great many poet
ical enquiries, but yours is the strangest.
Mary had a little lamb," we know the
poem, but with all our erudition and re
search, we have failed, to learn the origin
ator of this delightful poetieal story. We
can tell you who wrote Paradise Lost,
which nobody ever reads, but we are
sublimely ignorant of the author of “Ma
lt adopted resolutions (ss we briefly
mentioned yesterday) pledging aid to the
people of tbe overflowed districts of the
Mississippi river, and requesting all the
local organixstions to oollect contribu
tions in money for that purpose.
A resolution requesting Congress to aid
in tho further endowment and support of
national colleges for the advancement of
general scientific and Industrial education
was adopted.
The Direct Trade Convention, by invi
tation, entered the hall in a body. Gov.
Smith also appeared, by invitation.
A resolution was adapted, appointing a
committee to memorialize Congress in be
half of a complete system of levees for
the Mississippi.
President Jackson delivered his annual
address, which, as one delegate aaid, waa
unsurpassed for scope, depth and origi
nality.
Professor J. B. Dodge, of the Depart
meat of Agriculture, was introduced, and
addreaaed tbe Congress on the subject of
agricultural statistics, showing their value
and importance, and tbe result of ita
teachings. Tbe Herald's report says:
“By far it is the ablest and most impor
tant paper ever presented for tbe consid
eration of the fatmiog world.”
Itesolutions adopted by the Farmers'
Club of San Jose, California, were read
and referred. They declare that compen
sation for all services rendered, both pub
lic and private, should be reckoned with
reference to the average earnings of the
prudent and industrious agriculturist

quotes,
A Hoy.—“Terre del Fnego” means the
land of flro, and the name is applied to a
cluster of islands immediately around
Cope Horn. The first navigator saw the
fires of the natives along the ooast and
hence the name.
Forgotten.—We reoeived a letter some
time since from a correspondent who
wanted to learn among other thiugs abont
tho “Mitford Bard." We have mislaid
the lettor and wonld be thankful if our
correspondent would write again, as our
desire is to answer every question on eve
ry subject so far as our information and
library will allow.
Nonsense.— Jenay June is, we believe,
tho wife of Mr. Marble, late editor of the
New York World, and a moat aooompliah-
ed gentleman, who writes very fine arti
cles under the nom de plume of “Major
Kryukle."
Setter asks “Is there any difference be
tween remember and recolleot ?" Yea, a
very decided difference. Memory is the
retention of past events; recollection is
the recognition of those events when
brought before the mind. We often re
member a man’s name as welt as our own,
but aro frequently at a loss to reoall it at
the moment. Hope yon see the differ
ence.
Over the Hirer.—You any “tho man has
false weights iu his store and false meas
ures for his cloth.” If you were in Geor
gia, where there is law, we would tell you
how to act; but being in Alabama, where
t'.ere is no law, we can only advise you to
move forthwith and coons to trade with a
innn who robs you and takos advantage of
his size if you complain.
Peter,—The mountains produce bravo
men, but we cannot agree with you in
saying they produce groat ones. We
wonld be under obligations if you oould
point out one genuine historical and great
character that was born and raised in a
mountain oouutry. Think carefully be
fore you bring examples.
Stanley.— Yes; we believe the remains
of the great explorer, recently buried in
Westminster Abbey, wore those of Dr.
David Livingstone ; and we also believe
that Stanloy, the Herald correspondent,
met him at the timo and plaoe claimed.

Atlanta, May 15.—The Committeeon
Transportation of the Agricultural Con
gress to-day reported, that while recog-
uizing tbe value of railroads and the ne
cessity of a further extension, they deem
the cost of transportation of the crude
products of the field, forest and mines so
disproportionate to oost of water carriage
as to render it the imperative duty of the
United States Congress to improve tbe
rivers in the interior, and oonuect them
with tbe oeean by artificial ways, giving
the Mississippi Valley nontinuous water
transit to the seaboard; that it iB the duty
of the Government to enter at once upon
ths work of oonstruoting such artificial
water ways adequate to tbe present and
prospective demands of inland commerce,
until unrestricted ohanuels of trade have
been opened, not only through the Mis-
sissippi Valley, but connecting that river
with tbe Atlantio Ocean and tbe Lakes
via the Ohio and Kanawha and James
Biver Canal, and via the Atlantic and
Great Western Canal.
Tbe Congress adopted unanimously a
resolution that the Agricultural Congress
believes it to be within tbe power of tho
people to reform eo-operate transporta
tion systoms by the same agencies that
oreatedthem, viz., State legislation con
trolled by publio opinion ; that we are
opposed to any legislation under tbe plea
of regulating commeroe between the
States, which interferes with the author
ity heretofore exeroised by the State over
railroads.
D. Wyatt Aiken, of South Carolina,
was appointed to memorialize Congress
on the subject of revising the pateDtlaws.
The Committee on Scientific and Indus
trial Education has reported, recommend
ing thst tbe Government appropriate one-
half of tbe proceeds of the sales of
publio lands to Agricultural Congresses,
organised under the act of 1862; uuani-
monsly adopted. Commissiouors were
appointed te present these subjects to
Congress. Gen. Jackson wsb re-elected
President, and C. W. Green Secretary
amid enthusiasm. J. L. Tramibell was
elected Vice-President for the District of
Columbia. Cincinnati is selected as the
next plaoe of meeting. The oilizeus of
Atlanta gave the Congress a complimen
tary drive to the Fair Ground., cham
pagne toasts and a good time. The ladies
and oitizens were out generully.
0. W. Green resigned, and Goorge E.
Morrow, editor of the Wisconsin Farmer,
was elected. The next meeting wdl be
held on the second Wednesday in Septem-
'ber 1875. Adjourned fine die.
