Tn trial of George Abel for the mur
der of John Cherry occupied the Bnperior
Court of Bibb oounty on Thursday, and
was not oonoluded on that day. It is said
that the plea of insanity will be mada in
defenoe.
Tn Herianne Courier is informed by
one of the beat planters in Jackson ooun
ty, Pie., that the oaterpiilara are to be
found upon the cotton in his locality, but
that ha fears but little damage, as they
ware as numerous last year in May a.
they are this year in July. This is ea
ooutaging, as the caterpillar oommencea
its devastation in the lower portion of the
cotton belt.
Tn Atlanta Herald states that there
would have been no serious disagresmsnt
between Messrs. Stephens and Toombs in
feferenoe to the suit egainst the Btate
Road leasees, but for the inadvertence of
Mr. Stephens in directing a letter to Mr.
Toombs at Washington, D. 0., instead of
Washington, Oa. This letter has lately
been received by Mr. Toombs through the
Dead Letter office.
Tn Wist Point Finals Collsux
opens its commencement exercises to-day
with a sermon by Bev. J. Jones, bn
Monday Col. Clark, of the Atlanta Con
stitution, delivers an address, and on
Tuesday Mr. Calhoun, proprietor of this
paper, addresses tbs Junior Class. The

Mooty deserves all praise for the fine
school at West Point.
Tn Sioond Dutbiot.—The Uadi cals
Of the 2d Congressional Distriot of Geor
gia met in Albany on Wednesday, and
nominated B. II. Whitely for re-election.
Putney, who had been bis chief compet
itor in the oounty mootings, was with
drawn, and a negro named Noble run
against him. The vote stood thirty for
Whitely and six for Noble. The Albany
Hosts is confident that a Democrat can be
el so ted.
It ia intimated that the controversy be
tween Beecher and Tilton will be con
ducted in legal style before the investi
gating committee, and that Ben Butler
will be Tilton’s counsel. If it be true
that Butler Is to act lu that capacity, Tilton
has made a great mistake in the selootion,
People are prone to look with suspicion
on a cause championed by Butler—to re-
gard it as one needing craft and dextrous
management, rather than its own strong
merits, to sustain it.
A lxttkb to the Atlanta Constitution,
from Madison, Ga., reports the discovery
Bear that place of the body of a negro
boy named Gliealey Massey, dead and
mutilated. There was a rope around his
neck, and the other end tied to the limb
of a tree, but it was tight enough only to
raise bis head from the ground, on whioh
bis body was lying. Evidently the boy
bad not boon killed by strangulation, but
by blows. There is yet no olue to the
murderer.
Wist nm South.—The Cincinnati
Knquirer, which is the Democratic organ
of the West, makes the following an
nouncement ; “ The West and South will
take a band in the next Presidential can
vass, and their candidate will not be a
specie resumptionist; but, on the contra
ry, will favor tha payment of the bonded
debt in greenbacks, and a considerable
increase of the circulating medium. The
monoy power of New York has ohoseu its
last President and gained its last victory."
Thu Atlanta Herald suggests that the
Congressional Nominating Convention of
its Distriot should make its cboioe quick
ly, and proposes that after fivo or Bix bal-
lotings it should commenoe dropping the
lowest candidates until a nomination ia
made. This to prevent the conflicting
“claims" of the many candidates aggrava
ting the divisions and prejudices among
the people which they and their respec
tive anpporters have already stirred up.
In our opinion, a better course would be
to drop the whole of them if a cboioe can
not be made after one or two ballotings,
and nominate some good man not ooneot-
ed with the personal divisions in the Dis
trict. This would have a good effect
hereafter, and elsewhere.
Hmrai Warm Busches is now sixty-one
years of age. lie was born at Litchfield,
Ooon., in 1813. He is the aon of the
late Bev. Dr. Lyman Beecher, a distin
guished Preabyterian minister, and was
himself e Presbyterian minister
Indiana when a young man. He became
puirtrT of the Congregationalist Cburoh in
Brooklyn in 1847, and has held that pom
tioo ever sinoe. He has also, for a long
time, been editor first of the Independent,
and afterwards of the Christian Union.
Theodore Tilton is a much younger
man than Beeoher, and uutil recently be
longed to Beecher's Church. He is a
men of fine talents, and was editor of the
Golden Age until the progressing invest!-
I commenced.
pxatt. aooounU received yesterday from
mveral localities of Alabama, in which
oottoa oateapillars have heretofore been
reported, differ somewhat. The appear-
anoeof the caterpillars ia beyond question,
but opinions differ aa to whether they are
now committing or are likely to commit any
great devastation. Planters generally
ate much Alarmed, with good reason to
be so, and that is all that wc can aay pos
itively at present.
If the destructive brood of caterpillars
have really corns already, they will cut
short the crop at least one half ia this
region. Ami if so, the disaster will be a
•ost serious one to planters who may
hove to buy food for man and beast and
gave no cotton to buy it with.

O. T.~We cannot answer your very
remarkable inquiry better than by asking
you to read the following from Hhaks.

Como asks: “Is there not an increasing
adulteration of onr food, particularly

necessities of life is not so common here

saw a confidential ciroolar, some time
sinoe, issned from Hamburg, containing
on offer to sell a peculiar sand “suitable
for mixing with olovsr seed, and the
grains of whioh resembled tbs seeds so
closely ss to preclude detection by the
eye.” Two colors were offered—one for
red end the other for whits olovsr.
Farmer.—We think the sunflower could
be cultivated bare profitably, as it ia in
parts of Enrope. There, 26,000 plants
are raised on nn sere, producing fifty
bnsbcls of seed, from wbiob fifty gallons
of superior oil and fifteen hundred pounds
of oil oaks are Bede. The stalks, treated
like flax, produce e fibre strong, soft nn<l

H. Jil.—The meaning of the word
Cleopatra is, “The glory of bsr oountry."
It is a Greek name, end was first used by
the Macedonians.
PM.—We tbink you era mistaken. The
word “Alabama, ” (“Hers we rest,”) is not
Creek, but Chickasaw. The Cbickasaws
olaimed that they oame from the Great
West, guided by a magic pole, whioh was
planted in the ground at night, and in the
morning they took the direction in wbiob
it leaned. Tbs tradition aeys that after
traveling many suns the pole stood up
right, and the chiefs then exolsimed “Ala
bama!" Their first location is supposed
to have been about where Huntsville now
atanda.
The word “ Contois," to wbiob you refer,
and wbiob appears in the English Money
Market reports, means the “three per
oent. consolidated annuities,” in which
form much of the national debt of Eng
land now is.
Oliver.—Ganornl reading, no matter
how solid, is injurious to iutolleotual
growth in the young.
"Hi ttmt flips of mmiy irti, drlnki uf none.'
Preston.—Wo osnnot advise you about
leaving the home with whioh you say you
ere so dissatisfied, and if we edviaed at
all, it would be to remain and rnako it
better. A great city offera many advan
tages to ono with means, and wall intro
duced ; but to one who has to hunt a
situation, for whioh ho has bad no apocial
training, a great oity is a barren wilder.
dm*.
'lip-top.—We are glad to get your kind
letter, and aro ploased to know you like
the story “In Othor Lands." As soon as
the timea improve so as to warrant the
labor, the eeme writer will furnish original
stories for the ENquiaxa-BuN.
Lea.—You are wrong, and your friend
right. Hhakspears is buried at Htratford-
ou-Avou ; not at Westminster, os you
suppose—though he has a monument iu
the “Poets' Corner" of the groat edifico.
-V. (I {desires us to statu iu our an
swers to eorrsspondonts “if wo would bo
willing to write a composition to be read
as the production of soother, if we were
paid for it?" Yes, we will write suoh
productions for money, uuoering what bo-
oomes of them, and certain that they will
have somo merit. But wo wonld placo
but little oonfidenoe in the honor aud hon
esty of the hoy or girl, mao or woman,
who deoeived by claiming the authorship
of a composition simply beoause purshase
gave ownership.
Columbus.—Wc oannot give yon tho se
cret of writing poetry—first, because wo
have not got it ourselves ; and
second, beoause you could not
oompreheud it if we had. Poetry
is not a knack to be learned, but
a wouderful gift that God only gives to
one or two beings in each oontury. Wri
ting rhyme is as mechanical as making
briok. Suppose you try tho latter busi
ness for awhile.
Ernest.—No, aoalpingis not necessarily
fatal, 01 we mentioned before; nor is it,
as a rule, painful—though we do not
speak from experience. Tho fact is, when
the scalper takes the top-knot from tho
aoalpee, the scalpee has no further use for
it, nor is the scalpee himself of any
use exoept it might be on a dissecting ta
ble.
Mack.—We regrot that wo oanuot aid

Borys, translated by O. Vibour. Iu the
French this remarkable story is known as
“Lo Beau Boland,” and it has had a R reat
popularity in Frauce. M. Vibeor de
serves credit for hia translation, which
gives us in all the spirit of tho original
a capital atory in most excellent Eng.
lish. While Le Bean Boland is a good
example of the modem French sensa
tional school of fiction, its plot is the
most thrilling and artistic, and the char
acter sketching ia vivid and natural. Tho
sketch of “Le Club des Pendus" in the
story is wonderfully well done, as a piece
of startling description. G. W. Carleton

‘True to Him Ever, w a novel by F.W.H.
Tbie ia by no means a powerful story, and
F.W.It. did well In not gif log her foil
name if she has literary ambition. The
style is ss bald and flat ss the story is ri
diculous and namby-pamby. It is sooth
er added to the immense number of books
published to please the writer, and des
tined never to be read but by friends. It
is well to read such a book in order to
know just what to avoid. The story,
however, is moral, and the writer means
well. For sale by Pease 4 Norman.

It appears that muoh of tha political
excitement in Vicksburg grew oat of the
course and remarks of a mulatto named
Davenport, Chsncery Coart Clerk. In a
speech made a few daysaince, he referred
to tho reported elopement of a white girl
of Port Gibson with a negro member of
the Legislature, and declared that there
would be thousands of such oases; that
many respectable women in Vicksburg
would do so if they were not afraid; and
that if he were not married, he coaid and
would get the daughter of one of the most
respeotable families in Vicksburg! These
remarks, of course, greatly excited the
whites; threats were made against Daven
port ; and the Vicksburgcr declared that
any white man having a wife or daugh
ter would be justified in shooting him
down. Davenport became alarmed for
his personal safety, or effeoted to be so,
and the negroes gathered in large num
bers around his house to protect him, and
were keeping up an armed congregation
there at the last accounts. The whites
feel themselves insulted and menaced, and
demand the dispersion of the negroes,
which the Kadioal authorities will not
order.
The negroes of Barbour county, Ala.,
got into a row in their nominating con
vention, at Clayton, on Thursday, and
the polioe had to interfere to restore
quiet. During the fracas a pistol shot
was fired by some unknown person, but
no damage done by the shot. The fight
oorouiencod in a contest between two ne*
groes, both of whom wanted to speak.
Tho following ticket was nominated, but
the Time* says it gave a great deal of dis
satisfaction and was the remote cause of
the row:
A. J. Laird, for Judge of Probate;
Janies Clark, Treasurer; George W. Wil
liams, Tax Collector; Tom Clark (colored),
Tax Assessor; A. J. Locke, Hheriff; Allen

VioKsnuuo, July 25.—The following
dispatches explain themsolves:
VicKBBuno, Julv 24.—To Lieutenant
Governor Davie, JacksonI understand
you gave as a reason for requesting
United States troops sent here, that your
order for the militia to return their guns
to the tituto has not been obeyed. If yon
will withdraw yon order for troops, and
send me an order to disarm all the militia
hero, aud return their guns to the State,
I can and will execute tho order within
twenty-four hours, without assistance
from the Ktato or United States, and with
out blood-shed.
(Signed) Wm. French,
Colonel Fourth Begiment.
Jackson, Miss., July 24. — To William
French, Colonel—I decline to treat with
you as to the manner of executing orders
from the office of the Comtuander-in-
Chief of the State militia. That an order
has boon set at defiance you admit, bat it
remains for me to execute it. The ap-
peal for troops to be sent to Vioksburg,
has been forced upon mo by the otter
disrogurd of the laws of tho city and
State, by your oitizens.
(Signed) A. H. Davis,
Lieutenant-Governor.
The whites claim that the only “defl-
auoe of orders” has been by the negroes,
who positively refused to surrender the
State arms uutil after the election. The
whites, when the ordors were issued, and
at all times since, have stood ready to re
turn theirs.

Brooklyn, July 25.—The Argus, last
afternoon, published a supplementary
statement from Tilton in the form of an
interview with oue of its reporters, iu
whioh Tilton says that all the acoonnts uf
his cross-examination by the committoe
have been iuoorroot, one-sided and half-
malicious represontations of him, furnish
ed to reporters by the counsel of the com
mittee, for whioh tho committee them
selves are not responsible. The lattor
have a grave case ou their hands, and aro
wise enough to ackuowledge its gravity ;
but their counsol are full of trioks and
stratagems to belittle and distort. They
will in tho end be two of the worst beaten
attorneys wlio over conducted a case.
They have made a hideous bluuder in di
verting thoir examination from the faots
at issue into au inquiry as to the names
aud characters of his (Tilton’s) female
acquuiutauces. This gives him a right to
institute counter inquiry as to the stand
ing of ludies of Mr. Beecher’s acquaint
ance.

Bussell asked whether the Government
had mode any remonstrances to Franoe
egainst the oonnivences of her authorities
in the violation of tbe Spanish frontier
by the Oarlists. He especially referred to
tbe rumors that the French Government
had interfered with Spain in a manner
oontrary to tbe friendly relations of tbe
law of nations; that theCsrlists escaping
into Franoe, instead of being returned,
had been furnished with passports and
permitted to oross and re-oross the fron
tier. He arged that, in according an or
dinary oonrteBy due from one civilized
nation to another, there should be no un
necessary delay in the formal recognition
of the Spanish Government by Great
Britain.
Derby replied that Spain had not asked
England to interfere. He considered tbe
recognition of the Spanish Government,
at preaent, premature. When the time
arrived, it wonld be better such recogni
tion should be a collective act of all the
European Powers.

WEEKLT REVIEW OF THE COTTON MABXET.
New Yobk, Jnly 25.—The market for
cotton on spot hoe continued excessively
dull throughout the entire week, and
value shows a further shrinkage of }o.
There is very little inclination to pur
chase for other than immediate necessi
ties, as the aeoounte from the new crop
are exceedingly favorable, and probably
prioes will be lower.
Liverpool has been very dnll, whioh
may be attributed to the same cause. For
forward delivery, there has at times been
a wide fluctuation and a variable tone to
the market. Every little news from the
growing crop is at once picked np by the
brokers who gather about the Bing aud
ball and bear the market, as may be to
their interest.
The early months particularly rule
weak, which oan be accounted for by the
large stocks on hand, and an absence of
domand.
The total sales of the weak have reach
ed 91,812 bales, of whioh 88,500 were for
future delivery, 3,312 bales on spot, in
cluding 1,001, for export, 206 for spin
ning, and 244 for speculation.
Savannah, July 25.—Steady; middlings
16c. ; net receipts 34; sales 453; Btook
9,842.
Boston, July 25.—Quiet and steady;
middlings 17}; sales 200; stook 8,000.
New Obleans, July 25.—Quiet and
unchanged at 16}o.; net receipts 99 bales;
sales 400—laBt evening 100; stock 23,969.
Charleston, Jnly 25.— Doll; middlings
